by @newsfile on 15 Jun 2022, 03:42
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 15, 2022) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (FSE: 0GF) ("GMG " or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has commissioned its graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries") in pouch cell format and that the first G+Al battery pouch cells have been manufactured. With the addition of the pouch cell equipment to the existing pilot production and testing plant ("Battery Pilot Plant"), GMG now has operationalised the Battery Development Centre ("BDC") to enable the productization of this technology for a wide variety of applications.
GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "The commissioning of our pouch cell manufacturing equipment is another important milestone for GMG. It allows us to capitalise on the experience already gained with coin cell development and testing to open the avenues for our technology to a much broader application base. Much of the interest from prospective customers lies in our ability to productize the pouch cell, which can be found in a large range of end products ranging from personal and industrial appliances to grid batteries and EVs."
"Having our own fully equipped and staffed Battery Development Centre will further enhance our ability to co-innovate with partners that continue to express strong interest in the initial performance results and future potential of G+AI Batteries" Nicol said.
As previously announced, subject to successful commercial prototypes and a final investment decision, GMG aims to construct an initial commercial coin cell G+AI Battery manufacturing facility, followed by first production and sales of G+AI Batteries with the development of G+AI Batteries in pouch cell format occurring in parallel in the Battery Development Centre. The location of this initial commercial manufacturing facility is not yet decided but will likely be in Australia where GMG's headquarters and existing operations are located.

Labrador Gold Intersects 6.22 G/T Gold Over 4 Metres in First Hole at Golden Glove Including 10.31 G/T Gold Over 2 Metres
by @nasdaq on 7 Jun 2022, 05:00
TORONTO, June 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from seven drill holes, including the first hole drilled at the Golden Glove Target in the south end of its 100% owned Kingsway project near Gander, Newfoundland. These holes were drilled as part of the Company’s ongoing 100,000 metre drill program at Kingsway.
Hole K-22-150 intersected 6.22 g/t Au over 4 metres that included 10.31 g/t Au over 2m at a vertical depth of 246 metres. This intersection is located approximately 160 m south of the Golden Glove discovery outcrop where six grab samples, three of which contained visible gold, assayed between 2.99 g/t and 338.1 g/t Au (see news release dated September 21, 2021). This intersection at Golden Glove is the fourth of four targets drilled by LabGold to return significant gold intercepts.
While there are many similarities between the mineralization observed at Golden Glove and that at Big Vein, a significant difference is that while Big Vein occurs on the west side of the Appleton Fault Zone, Golden Glove is situated on the East Side. This is the first drilling on the east side of the fault at the Kingsway Property.
Six holes drilled at the Pristine target intersected near surface gold mineralization over significant widths in the Doyle Zone, including 1.86 g/t Au over 8m in hole K-22-144 and 1.75 g/t over 20.2m that included 2.76 g/t Au over 6.2m in Hole K-22-139.
“We are very pleased with the results from the first hole drilled at Golden Glove especially considering that the intersection is approximately 160m south of the discovery outcrop. This indicates excellent potential for the area between this hole and the outcrop and we are certainly looking forward to the results from the remaining five holes drilled there to date,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of LabGold. “The continued near surface gold intercepts extending the strike length of the Doyle Zone are nice to see especially those with wider intersections. We are encouraged by the successful drilling of our four initial targets, all of which have delivered significant gold mineralization. We will continue to test the new targets developed along the Appleton Fault Zone through the summer, starting with the CSAMT target approximately eight kilometres northeast of Big Vein.”

About Labrador Gold
Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.
In early 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project in the Gander area of Newfoundland. The three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately 12km of the Appleton Fault Zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including those of New Found Gold immediately to the south of Kingsway. Infrastructure in the area is excellent located just 18km from the town of Gander with road access to the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water. LabGold is drilling a projected 50,000 metres targeting high-grade epizonal gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone following encouraging early results. The Company has approximately $28 million in working capital and is well funded to carry out the planned program.
The Hopedale property covers much of the Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretches over 60 km. The belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but has been underexplored by comparison. Work to date by Labrador Gold show gold anomalies in rocks, soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 km along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 40km strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.
The Company has 159,199,026 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV:TGM, OTCQX:TGLDF, FRA:0702) (“Trillium Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire all of the rights and title to the Panama Lake Property (the “Property”) held by St. Anthony Gold Corp. (“St. Anthony Gold”). The Panama Lake Gold Project is located approximately 80km from, and on the same structural trend as, Kinross Gold’s Dixie deposit and effectively extends Trillium Gold’s dominant contiguous foothold along the Confederation belt by 9,882 hectares (see Figure 1).
Pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement to be entered into on the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement” together with the Original Option Agreement, the “Option Agreement”), among Trillium Gold and St. Anthony Gold, St. Anthony Gold will assign all of its rights and obligations under the Original Option Agreement to Trillium Gold. In addition, pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, Benton Resources Inc. (“Benton Resources”) will agree to consent to the assignment and will agree to register 100% of the Property’s title to Trillium Gold while retaining its 50% ownership interest in the Property until such time as Trillium Gold fulfils its option to earn 100% interest.
Terms of the Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, at closing, Trillium Gold will pay St. Anthony Gold, Cdn $500,000 in cash and issue 1,000,000 common shares in the capital of Trillium Gold (the “Common Shares”). In the event Trillium Gold acquires a 100% interest in the Property, St. Anthony Gold may cause Trillium Gold to exercise its Buy-Back Right under the Option Agreement (as further discussed below) to repurchase from Benton Resources one-half of the 2% Net Smelter Royalty on the Property and convey such repurchased 1% Net Smelter Royalty to St. Anthony Gold in exchange for a cash payment by St. Anthony Gold to Trillium Gold of $1,000,000.

Trillium Gold has the option to earn 100% ownership of the Property by paying Benton Resources a further $300,000 in cash or the equivalent in Common Shares, based on the 10-day VWAP of Trillium Gold’s Common Shares traded on the TSXV prior to issuance and complete $300,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project in each case by October 24, 2023. Benton Resources has the right to retain a 2.0% NSR on the Project, subject to the option of Trillium Gold to buy back one-half of such royalty (being 1.0%) for Cdn $1,000,000 (the “Buy Back Right”). In the event that Trillium Gold completes a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the Property, Trillium Gold will issue to Benton Resources Common Shares with the amount of Common Shares issuable to be determined based on the number of ounces of gold in the NI 43-101 report and the market price of the Common Shares at the time.
The Common Shares of Trillium Gold issued under the Purchase Agreement will be subject to a four-month holding period from the closing date. The Purchase Agreement is subject to the approval of the TSXV and other applicable regulatory authorities.
About the Panama Lake Property
The Panama Lake Gold project consists of 9,882 hectares in the historic Red Lake Mining district and displays very similar regional geology to that of the Dixie deposit located along strike approximately 80km to the west. A long history of exploration activity has occurred on the Panama Lake Gold project since the late 1960s. Recent diamond drilling completed by Benton Resources and St. Anthony Gold have continued to intercept anomalous gold values from the Panama Zone and north of a highly anomalous gold grain till sample collected by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC Open File 3038). Recently completed interpretation of newly acquired airborne geophysics have identified several linear magnetic trends that appear coincident with the Panama Zone and other gold occurrences found on the Panama Lake Gold Project. This new geophysical interpretation and recently obtained anomalous gold values from 2019-2022 diamond drill programs will allow future exploration programs to be focused on areas of high mineral potential.
The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by William Paterson QP, P.Geo, Vice President of Exploration of Trillium Gold Mines, as defined by NI 43-101.

SKYG.v's Quebec neighbour out with some very nice hits...STARR PEAK REPORTS 9.49% ZINC-EQUIVALENT OVER 5.90 METERS INCLUDING 3.05 METERS OF 4.17% COPPER AND 17.17% ZINC-EQUIVALENT
by @newswire on 26 May 2022, 05:00
VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2022 /CNW/ - Starr Peak Mining Ltd. ("Starr Peak" or the "Company") (TSXV: STE) (OTCQX: STRPF) is pleased to announce additional drill results from its ongoing drill program on its 100% owned NewMétal property ("NewMétal" or "the Property"), located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of Québec near the town of Normétal. See below Table 1 and Figure 1 showing assay results to date and Zinc Equivalent (Zn_Eq) calculations for mineralized intervals.
Highlights include:
Deep drilling of the Normetmar trend in hole STE-21-92-W3 has returned 9.49% Zn_Eq over 5.90 metres, including 3.05 m of 4.17% Cu, 17.17% Zn_Eq, 1.61 g/t Au and 45.20 g/t Ag
Johnathan More, Chairman and CEO of Starr Peak commented, "Drilling of the Deep zone has returned an interval of 9.49 % Zn_Eq over 5.90 m in hole STE-22-092-W3. The interval includes a high-grade section of 3.05 metres grading 4.17 % Cu which is indicative of the occurrence of high grade areas within the larger massive sulphide body at depth. One additional hole is being drilled from this wedge series, following which we plan to test the Normetmar zone occurrence below the Deep zone. The Deep zone is drilled down to approximately 1,000 m vertical depth. The past producing Normétal mine, located 900 m East of the Normetmar zone, was continuous down to a vertical depth of 2,400 meters. An existing hole will be drilled down several hundred more meters below the Deep zone. BHEM (Bore Hole EM) surveys will be done within the extended deep hole in search of massive sulphide mineralization near the hole, followed by drill testing of priority EM targets."

The ongoing drill program continues targeting the Normetmar Deep zone, located directly below the Normetmar high-grade zinc deposit. A second rig continues targeting the 4 km long prolific Normetmar-Normétal lithological contact within the property, taking into account the many new massive sulphide intercepts from the 2021-2022 program. The third rig has ended testing the continuity of the historical gold occurrences on the Rousseau and Turgeon Lake Gold properties located East of Normétal, results are pending. Remaining results of winter drilling campaign, targeting the northern part of the Newmétal property, will be released as soon as the BHEM surveys are completed and analytical results are received.
Qualified Person
Alexis Paulin Bissonnette, Ing. (OIQ 5037621), an independent Qualified Person as defined by Canadian NI 43-101 standards, has reviewed and approved the geological information reported in this news release. The drilling campaign and the quality control program have been planned and supervised by Alexis Paulin Bissonnette. Core logging and sampling were completed by Laurentia Exploration. The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of one blank, one standard and one duplicate every 25 samples, in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by ALS Canada Ltd. during the analytical process. Additionally, sample weight is taken prior shipment to validate sample identity. Gold values are estimated by fire assay with finish by atomic absorption. Zinc, Copper and Silver values are estimated by four acid digestion multi elements Inductively Coupled Plasma – Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES), ME-ICP61. Zinc values over 1%, copper values over 1% and silver values over 100 g/t are estimated by four acid digestion ICP-AES, OG62. Zinc values over 30% are estimated by potentiometric titration, ZN-VOL50. The Qualified Person has not completed sufficient work to verify the historic information on the Property, particularly in regards to historical drill results. However, the Qualified Person believes that drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices. The information provides an indication of the exploration potential of the Property but may not be representative of expected results. Although the percentage estimation is a good guide to the concentration of copper and zinc we can expect from future drill core assays, one must always be cautious about making estimations with respect to metal concentrations and on the basis of visual estimation.

ILI.v $ARXRF Stockwatch Diamond & Specialty Minerals Summary for May 12, 2022
2022-05-12 20:09 ET - Market Summary
by Will Purcell
J.C. St-Amour's Imagine Lithium Inc. ( $ILI ) lost one-half cent to eight cents on 137,000 shares on word that it has drilled an eight-metre interval averaging 1.28 per cent lithium oxide at its Jackpot project in the Georgia Lake district, just north of Nipigon in Northern Ontario. The assays are new, but the drilling is not: The holes were completed in 2018 and Imagine Lithium has gotten around to testing this unsampled core just now. A second hole produced 1.02 per cent lithium oxide over 8.8 metres and while the two others also encountered lithium, the grades were lower and the intervals shorter.Mr. St-Amour, president, says that once he and his crew "refocused on the Jackpot lithium project," they recognized that the old core displayed significant but unsampled spodumene mineralization. The assays, he cheers, "confirm the visuals that we have been seeing." Accordingly, the visually-inclined Mr. St-Amour is looking forward to seeing results from the company's current drill program. That drilling, he cheers, is designed to test the main dike swarm at Jackpot, and to expand on the known historical resource area. The drilling is going well, he concludes, as samples from five holes are now at the lab.Jackpot does indeed have a historical resource, based on two of several known lithium-bearing pegmatite dikes. One of those dikes supported a calculation listing two million tonnes at 1.09 per cent lithium oxide, the other dike contained 750,000 tonnes at 1.38 per cent. Those grades are intriguing and are in line with what has been turning up elsewhere in the Georgia Lake area.

St-Amour, President of Imagine Lithium commented, "Once we refocused on the Jackpot Lithium project our new geological team reviewed all the historical drill core from the 2018 drill program and immediately identified significant spodumene mineralization in unsampled core. I am pleased that the assay results confirm the visuals that we have been seeing at the Jackpot project. "We are looking forward to seeing results from our current drill program, which is designed to not only test the main dike swarm but also to expand on the known historical resource area and investigate the extents of the known dikes as well as previously undrilled lithium showings. The drill program is progressing well, with five holes completed with samples in the lab."

ILI.v $ARXRF Imagine Lithium Sells Its Interests in Red Lake
by @newsfile on 27 Apr 2022, 04:0
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 27, 2022) - IMAGINE LITHIUM INC. (TSXV: ILI) (OTCQB: ARXRF) (the "Company" or "Imagine") announced today that it has signed amended agreements to divest of all of its holdings in the Red Lake area to Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: TGM) ("Trillium"), and Pegasus Resources Inc. ("Pegasus").
Further to its news release dated December 15, 2021, Trillium and Imagine have signed an amended Definitive Agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") whereby Trillium will acquire a majority of Imagine's property holdings known as the Eastern Vision Project, located in the Confederation Lake assemblage of the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt in the Red Lake District, Ontario. Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, Trillium will acquire 13,958 hectares between the Fredart, Confederation North, and Confederation South properties for a consideration of 2,800,000 common shares of Trillium and $175,000 in cash.
In addition, Imagine has entered into an Amending, Settlement and Termination Agreement with Pegasus (the "Pegasus Agreement") with respect to the February 3, 2020 agreements relating to the Garnet Lake property and portions of the Fredart property (the "Option Agreements"). Under the Pegasus Agreement, Pegasus has agreed to issue to Imagine 5,000,000 common shares of Pegasus in exchange for delivery of certain payment obligations under the Option Agreements and Imagine relinquishing its right to complete the option for the claims under the Option Agreements. The Definitive Agreement and the Pegasus Agreement remain subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.
J.C. St-Amour, President of Imagine commented, "The transactions to divest of the Red Lake properties gives Imagine, through its share ownership in Trillium and Pegasus, exposure to a larger consolidated land package extending greater than 100 km in length in the Red Lake area. This also allows us to focus our exploration efforts on our 100% owned Jackpot Lithium project where a drill program is actively underway."
The Jackpot Lithium property, located in the Georgia Lake Area about 140 km NNE of Thunder Bay, Ontario, is approximately 12 km by air from the TransCanada Highway (Hwy 11) and the main railroad which connects to the port town of Nipigon, on Lake Superior.

ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold, as reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, Indonesia" (May 30, 2017). Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study. The Company cautions readers that the any production decision made by the Company will not be based on a NI 43-101 feasibility study of mineral reserves that demonstrates economic and technical viability and as such, there may be involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks such as the interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations; commodity and currency price fluctuation; failure to obtain adequate financing; regulatory, recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks; general market and mining exploration risks and production and economic risks related to design and engineering, manufacturing, technological processes and test procedures and the risk that the project's output will not be salable at a price that will cover the project's operating and maintenance costs.

BARU.v $BARUF Baru Gold Completes Land Clearing and Provides Construction Update at Sangihe Gold Project
by @thenewswire on 13 Apr 2022, 06:30
(TheNewswire)
Baru Gold Corp.
April 13, 2022 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, BC – Baru Gold Corp (the “Company” or “Baru”) (TSXV:BARU) | (OTC:BARUF) is pleased to announce it has substantially completed clearing of the land and commenced earthworks on the heap leach pad for the Sangihe gold project.
Initial capacity of the heap operation has been set at 100,000 tonnes. The heap leach pad measures 127 by 64 meters. There are currently more than 60 labourers working on the construction project and 90% are local hires from Sangihe Island. This number will significantly increase once production commences. All equipment required for construction will be contracted on the island. Materials that are not available locally will be sourced from Manado which is in the same province as Sangihe. The construction of the heap leach facility does not require the removal or relocation of any residences.
Baru Gold, along with its contractors, have cleared the principal production area, including grubbing and are in the process of rough grading to plan. The next focus will be to construct pond berms and compacting to engineering specifications in preparation for installation of the leach pad liner and processing facility installation.
Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals and other compounds from ore using a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and re-separate them after their division from other earth materials. A form of lower cost methods of mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the ore, whereas in situ mining lacks these liners and pulls pregnant solution up to obtain the minerals. Heap leaching is widely used in modern large-scale mining operations as it produces the desired concentrates at a lower cost compared to conventional processing methods such as flotation, agitation, and vat leaching.
Terry Filbert, President, CEO and Director, commented, “The start of construction of the pads and pond facilities is another milestone for our project at Sangihe. For many years, I have envisioned the goal of gold production being realized and I could not be more thrilled. Once operations are running smoothly and reliable cashflow is being generated at Sangihe, we can parlay that success to the next phase of growth at Baru Gold. With land acquisition on-going and preparations for the drilling program approved and ready to begin, we foresee a very busy and exciting year.”
ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold, as reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, Indonesia" (May 30, 2017).

Table 1: Keats Drilling Highlights
1Note that the host structures are interpreted to be steeply dipping and true widths are generally estimated to be 60% to 95% of reported intervals. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Composite intervals reported carry a minimum weighted average of 1 g/t Au diluted over a minimum core length of 2m with a maximum of 2m consecutive dilution. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 10 g/t Au. Grades have not been capped in the averaging and intervals are reported as drill thickness. All composited intervals are provided in Table 2.
Reconnaissance drilling designed to test a possible southern extension of the Keats Main Zone intersected gold mineralization near surface including 4.49 g/t Au over 3.55m and 7.85 g/t Au over 4.85m in NFGC-21-421. This new discovery has been named the “421 Zone”. Step-out drilling from these initial holes returned intervals of 4.31 g/t Au over 2.25mand 2.58 g/t Au over 10.40m in NFGC-21-467 confirming that this fault zone dips southwest at approximately 50° and is host to high-grade gold. Drilling will continue to step-out on this structure and importantly, will also target its intersection along strike with the Keats Main Zone and the AFZ (Figures 1, 2, and 3).
Drilling into the footwall area located between the AFZ and the Keats-Baseline Fault continues to identify new veins and associated structures that contain high-grade gold, and this is well demonstrated by intercepts 119.45 g/t Au over 2.40m in NFGC-21-375 and 6.66 g/t Au over 5.90m in NFGC-21-342. The gold mineralization is hosted within a vein breccia and stockwork domain that trends approximately parallel to and is within the immediate footwall of the AFZ and appears to be spatially associated with the contact of a greywacke unit (Figures 3 and 7).
Significant high-grade gold mineralization identified in a region previously interpreted to form the hanging wall to the Keats-Baseline Fault Zone produces an important exploration target and also further advances the structural understanding of the Keats Zone. Highlight intercepts of 9.35 g/t Au over 2.70m in NFGC-21-254 and 7.21 g/t Au over 5.75m in NFGC-21-392 occur within two distinct structures that are adjacent to and crosscut the Keats Main Zone and are interpreted to be constituents of the broader damage zone associated with the Keats-Baseline Fault and appear to control domains of high-grade gold mineralization (Figures 3 and 7).
At the north end of Keats, recent drilling intersected a significant vein grading 79.81 g/t Au over 3.00m in NFGC-22-491 approximately 52m down-dip of NFGC-21-90 which previously reported 24.50 g/t Au over 3.85m (see March 16, 2021, news release). Follow-up drilling is underway to expand on this discovery (Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5).
A massive interval of brecciated, stylolitic and stockwork vein phases occurring within the dilational core of the Keats-Baseline Fault Zone was intersected by NFGC-21-464 and contained a grade of 21.12 g/t Au over 7.20m. The characteristics of this zone demonstrate that the south-west plunging, thickened and continuous domain of high-grade gold exists within a portion of the Keats Baseline Fault Zone that experienced significant volumes of gold mineralizing fluid flow. The intercept of 62.30 g/t Au over 2.00m in NFGC-21-387 (see February 24, 2022, news release) has traced this corridor over a length of 845m in a down-plunge direction. Exploration is currently working to expand this domain south (Figures 2, 3 and 6).
Melissa Render, P.Geo., VP Exploration for New Found, stated: “Significant model advancements have been made recently following the addition of a senior geologist to our New Found exploration team, with wizardry 3D-modelling skills that have greatly increased our understanding of the Keats Zone. This work has identified a multitude of high-priority target areas that will be the focus of upcoming drilling. The strength of the mineralizing system along the Keats-Baseline Fault Zone is exceptional based on the extensive amount of veining, alteration, brittle deformation and high-grade gold mineralization. Drills are working aggressively to continue to extend the Keats Main high-grade domain down plunge which now extends a length of approximately 845m. Drills are also turning to test for new structures and high-grade intersections like the 421 Zone in addition to the very underexplored west side of the AFZ that is also known to host high-grade gold mineralization. As noted previously, other orogenic deposit analogues with mineralizing systems adjacent to these deep crustal-scale structures such as the AFZ can extend to depths of +2km. Our drilling to date has focused above 300m vertical depth, with the deepest high-grade intercept to date at approximately 375m. Exploration along this 9.45 km segment of the +100km strike of the AFZ that New Found controls continues to build the evidence that a camp is emerging (Figure 4).”
Discussion
Mineralization at the Queensway Project is hosted by a fold-thrust sequence of northeast-striking, steeply dipping turbiditic sedimentary rocks deposited and deformed during the closure of the Iapetus Ocean and subsequent continent-continent collision. During this prolonged period of continued shortening, at least two regional-deformation zones developed and include the Appleton and JBP fault zones. The AFZ is interpreted to be a significant, deep-seated thrust fault, that strikes southwest across the full 100km+ length of the property and is likely the main conduit for the gold mineralizing fluids, much like the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone in the Abitibi.
As a result of progressive deformation, the brittle host stratigraphy developed an extensive network of gold-bearing fault zones enveloping the AFZ, the extents of which are not yet known. This structural relationship is well illustrated in Figure 4 and demonstrates the currently defined vein and associated fault orientations based on structural interpretation and drilling to date along the 2.6km corridor from Keats to Lotto. Higher-grades and widths of gold mineralization occur in areas where there was greater mineralizing fluid flow such as at structural intersections, at dilational openings within fault structures, and along lithological contacts where breakage occurs due to rheological differences in the compressional strength of contrasting sedimentary rock units.
The Company’s current interpretation is that the high-grade gold mineralization being drilled at Queensway was deposited by gold mineralizing fluids penetrating this highly fractured and deformed meta-sedimentary sequence forming an extensive mineralized corridor surrounding the deep crustal-scale fault network that forms the Appleton Fault Zone. A significant amount of the high-grade gold mineralization is interpreted to be epizonal in nature, having been emplaced when tectonic movements resulted in the explosive tapping of deep gold-rich magmatic fluids that rapidly precipitated gold as they migrated towards surface.
Keats
Mineralization at Keats is associated with a significant east-northeast striking and moderately southeast dipping brittle fault zone that developed adjacent to and trends at an oblique angle to the AFZ. Situated approximately 1.8km south of Lotto and 1.2km south of the Golden Joint discoveries, this fault forms an extensive damage zone that is discordant to the northeast striking and steeply dipping stratigraphy and controls the development of a complex network of high-grade gold vein arrays that are epizonal in character and exhibit breccia, stylolitic, and vuggy textures. The host rock units are comprised of an interbedded sequence of turbiditic shales and greywackes where lithological contrasts in part control domains of high-grade gold, however model advancements suggest the larger underlying control are dilational settings that experienced increased fluid flow that typically develop at structural intersections such as intersecting fault or vein segments. The Keats-Baseline Fault Zone expresses itself as a topographic low and interpretation of this low has traced it over approximately +2km strike length. At this stage, exploration has been largely focused within close proximity to the AFZ and has delineated a high-grade gold segment of the Keats-Baseline Fault over a strike length of approximately 660m, the high-grade southwest plunging dilational zone to approximately 845m while the deepest high-grade gold intercept to date is at a vertical depth of 375m.

Table 3: Details of drill holes reported in this release
Queensway 400,000m Drill Program Update
Approximately 40% of the planned 400,000m program at Queensway has been drilled to date with approximately 19,120m of the core with pending assay results. Eleven core rigs are currently operating and New Found is targeting an increase in the drill count to 14 rigs.
Sampling, Sub-sampling, Laboratory and Discussion
True widths of the intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined but are estimated to be 60% to 95% of reported core lengths. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional variability in true width. Assays are uncut, and composite intervals are calculated using a minimum weighted average of 1 g/t Au diluted over a minimum core length of 2m with a maximum of 2m consecutive dilution. Included high-grade intercepts are reported as any consecutive interval with grades greater than 10 g/t Au. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either complete sample metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30-gram fire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia, or by entire sample screened metallic screen fire assay at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland, except for drill hole NFGC-21-421 where whole core samples were submitted to Intertek Australia Perth for Chrysos PhotonAssayTM method as part of a test program; all three laboratories operate under a commercial contract with New Found. A selection of Chrysos PhotoAssayTM method samples are currently being assayed to extinction using traditional fire assay method for QC purposes, the results of this work will be reported once available. The complete sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Company as well as the lab. Approximately 3% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays. The company does not recognize any factors of drilling, sampling or recovery that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the assay data disclosed. The assay data disclosed in this news release has been verified by the Company’s Qualified Person against the original assay certificates. The Company notes that it has not completed any economic evaluations of its Queensway Project and that the Queensway Project does not have any resources or reserves.

BARU.v $BARUF Baru Gold Positive Metallurgical Study at Sangihe Gold Project Indicates Gold Recoveries of 85% and Silver Recoveries of 96%
by @thenewswire on 11 Apr 2022, 08:01
(TheNewswire)
Baru Gold Corp.
April 11, 2022 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, BC – BARU Gold Corp (the “Company” or “Baru”) (TSXV:BARU) | (OTC:BARUF) is pleased to report on our commitment and the viability of the Sanighe Gold project based on the metallurgical studies and the milestones on permitting and advancing the Sangihe Gold project. With land clearing and construction ongoing, the BARU Gold team has reviewed metallurgy of the project in detail.
A metallurgical review and study are a crucial part of transitioning an exploration project to a producing mine site. It is during these tests, that the engineering team and contractors can assess the condition, composition, and best recovery methods for the materials to be mined. A higher recovery rate (defined as percentage of metal extracted from ore during processing), will mean the Company can recover more gold and silver per tonne of ore mined. Further, a positive metallurgical study can de-risk the project further and assist mining engineers in refining the flow sheet design. This in turn increases efficiency and lowers the environmental footprint of the operation.
In September 2018, Baru’s subsidiary, PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe or “TMS” (the holder of the Sangihe CoW licence) received approval of the Indonesian Feasibility Study (IFS) by Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources at an open meeting attended by TMS and representatives of both Provincial and Central mines departments. The IFS, was conducted by Resindo Resources and Energy, an Indonesian consulting firm and was comprised of several elements:
a)Metallurgical drilling to identify the most suitable heap-leaching locations.
b)Geotechnical drilling to provide the most up-to-date and accurate core samples for pit wall design, fragmentation of ore and ore excavation rates.
c)Hydro-geological surveying to help locate and identify the water table level in the pit design and best water sources needed for upcoming drilling, heap-leaching and ultimately gold production.
All drilling required for the IFS was completed and the metallurgical test results were as follows:
a)Bottle Roll Test of the Cyanide Soluble assay results showed gold recoveries of 85% and silver recoveries of 96%.
b)Agglomeration test results have been completed with the majority of the samples tested agglomerating very well
c)Carbon Column Test work reached 83.80% recovery of gold.
d)Acid Forming test work of overburden rock samples taken from the geotechnical drilling core indicated that only rock samples with more than 5% sulphides were Potential Acid Forming and these rock samples constitute less than 9% of the overall Binebase Resource.
The Indonesian Feasibility Study is not a Feasibility Study as defined by CIM as required by NI 43-101 but it is required under Indonesian law in order to obtain a licence to construct a production facility.
In February 2021, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MoEMR) upgraded its Sangihe Gold Project Contract of Work (“CoW”) to Operation Production status. This licence provides Baru Gold with the rights to operate precious metal mines on 42,000 hectares on Sangihe Island. To date only 10% of the area has been geologically explored. Exploration will be upgraded through a resource development drilling program and will be expanded to other areas of the CoW once production cashflow has been initiated.
The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study. The Company cautions readers that any production decision made by the Company will not be based on a NI 43-101 feasibility study of mineral reserves that demonstrates economic and technical viability and as such, there may be involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks such as the interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations; commodity and currency price fluctuation; failure to obtain adequate financing; regulatory, recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks; general market and mining exploration risks and production and economic risks related to design and engineering, manufacturing, technological processes and test procedures and the risk that the project’s output will not be salable at a price that will cover the project’s operating and maintenance costs.
The existing CoW licence for the Sangihe gold project is a 30-year licence and under the recently issued 2020 mining regulations can be extended for 20 years. This CoW production status upgrade also gives the Company rights for refinery and export licences.
The Board of Directors have approved a 35,000-metre Resource Development drilling program. The initial area targeted for this drilling is covered in the Sangihe 2010 NI 43-101 which identified 835,000 ounces gold inferred resource between Binebase and Bawone villages, approximately 1.2 kilometres. An infill drilling program will be conducted in this area to upgrade some of the inferred resources into indicated and measured resource status. Exploration drilling will continue over an additional 1.45 kilometres from Bawone to South of Salurang villages, an area over which this anomaly continues. After the initial exploration drilling in this area has been completed, the identified resources will then be infill drilled to bring some of these resources into indicated and measured status as well.
Terry Filbert, Chairman and CEO, commented, “I have been in Indonesia since mid-February overseeing all aspects of the Indonesian operations and don’t plan to leave until we are in production. Given the current price of gold, low production costs and continuing field analysis of the 23 new exploration targets identified in the structural study that provided promising results, the Company remains steadfast towards the goal of production. Baru has constituently and diligently worked towards that goal and plans to provide regular updates on activities to the shareholders as milestones are achieved.”

ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold, as reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, Indonesia" (May 30, 2017). Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study.
The Company's 70-percent interest in the Sangihe-mineral-tenement Contract of Work ("CoW") is held through PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS”). The remaining 30-percent interest in TMS is held by three Indonesian corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW agreement is 30 years upon commencement of the production phase of the project.
BARU has met all the requirements of the Indonesian government and has been granted its environmental permit. The Company has received approval for the upgrade of its licence to advance the Sangihe project to construction and production in 2022.

WHN.v $WTHVF Westhaven Drills A Truly World Class Gold Intercept At Shovelnose http://energyandgold.com/2022/04/07/westhaven-drills-a-truly-world-class-gold-intercept-at-shovelnose/
WHN.v Westhaven Drills 23.03 Metres of 37.24 G/T Gold and 209.52 G/T Silver, Including 1.12 Metres of 294 G/T Gold and 2,110 G/T Silver at the FMN Zone, Shovelnose Gold Property
by @nasdaq on 6 Apr 2022, 07:40
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to announce drill results from its ongoing drill campaign at its 100% owned 17,623-hectare Shovelnose gold property. Shovelnose is located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), which borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 kilometres south of Merritt, British Columbia.
Gareth Thomas, President & CEO, comments: “We are pleased to report the highest gold-silver intercept (857.64 gram-metres) ever drilled on the Shovelnose gold property, at the FMN Zone. Hole SN22-212 (23.03m of 37.24 g/t gold and 214.70 g/t silver) is over 2 kilometres from the heart of the South Zone resource. We now have multiple gold mineralized drill intercepts at the FMN zone over 500 metres of strike length that begin at bedrock surface in areas with minimal overburden. We believe the FMN zone has the potential to contribute significantly to the property wide precious metals inventory. It is not uncommon in enriched epithermal systems to discover multiple high-grade gold chutes and, given the strong nature of this system and low drill density in this area, we believe there is going to be more high-grade chutes discovered along this ~4-kilometre trend.” Thomas goes on to add, “In addition to the drill currently located at the FMN Zone, a second drill has been added at the Alpine Zone focused on following-up on Hole SNR21-55, which intersected 3.13 metres of 45.23 g/t gold and 195.64 g/t silver. Recent drilling at the Alpine Zone has encountered similar geology to what was encountered in SNR21-55, including intervals containing marcasite, adularia and ginguro."
Westhaven is reporting assays for 22 holes from its ongoing drill campaign at Shovelnose.

Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, comments: “Drilling on the Shovelnose Gold Project started this year at FMN in order to follow-up on higher grade intersections from last year’s drilling (e.g. hole SN21-161: 9.15 g/t Au over 15.97m) and broader intervals of near-surface mineralization (e.g. hole SN21-188: 0.76 g/t Au over 57.8m). This year’s drilling at FMN continues to intersect these two styles of mineralization. Gold-bearing intervals are hosted in quartz-adularia veins comprising Vein Zone 1 and heterolithic breccias containing mineralized quartz fragments derived from Zone 1 veins. The breccias can form broad intervals of near surface gold mineralization such as in hole SN22-205 (1.1 g/t Au over 34.0m) and SN22-211 (1.16 g/t over 42.17m). Drilling continues to intersect higher grade intervals hosted in Vein Zone 1 as well, as seen deeper down in hole SN22-211 (9.52 g/t Au over 11.26m, including 30.25 g/t Au over 2.12m) and in SN22-212 (37.24 g/t Au over 23.03m). Drilling at FMN will continue on 50m spaced sections along strike towards the southeast to follow-up additional mineralization uncovered during 2020 drilling. A geophysical program is planned for FMN later this Spring to assist in targeting Vein Zone 1 between FMN and Franz to the northwest.”

by @accesswire on 5 Apr 2022, 05:01
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 5, 2022 / Golden Lake Exploration Inc. (CSE:GLM) ("GLM" or the "Company") (OTCQB:GOLXF) is pleased to report on its 2nd diamond drill hole of the 2022 field season, also located at the Hamburg Mine Target, on the Company's keystone Jewel Ridge project, located in the prolific Eureka gold district, Nevada.
Hole JR-22-37DD returned an 18.71 metre interval from a depth of 24.57 metres averaging 2.85 grams gold per tonne (g/t Au), 20.5 g/t silver (Ag), 0.76 percentage lead (% Pb) and 1.13 percentage zinc (% Zn). This interval comprised a combination of "Carlin-style" and Carbonate Replacement Deposit ("CRD") mineralization. This interval was over 24.57 metres to a depth of 50.90 metres, omitting 4.57 meters of void (Underground workings on CRD mineralization and 3.02 meters of waste (less than 0.20 g/t Au).
Hole JR-22-37DD is collared approximately 225 metres south-southeast of hole JR-22-36DD (see Press Release March 23rd, 2022, 26.37 METERS AVERAGING 5.38 G/T GOLD") with an azimuth of 165°, dip -80°, directed at a different target than holes JR-22-36DD.
Hole JR-22-37DD intersected two intervals interpreted as CRD mineralization.
The first CRD interval, from 24.57 to 31.09 metres returned 6.52 metres averaging 6.88 g/t Au, 38.7 g/t Ag, 1.59% Pb and 1.84% Zn. The best individual intercept was from 24.99 to 26.12 metres, over 1.13 metres, returned 9.86 g/t Au, 61.0 g/t Ag, 1.87 % Pb, and 2.06 % Zn (see core photo below).
The second CRD interval, from 46.33 to 50.90 metres, returned 4.57 metres averaging 1.13 g/t Au, 19.4 g/t Ag, 0.41% Pb and 0.99% Zn.
If the void is included at zero grade and the waste interval is included, the interval from 24.57 to 50.90 metres returned 26.34 metres averaging 2.03 g/t Au, 14.7 g/t Ag, 0.54 % Pb, and 0.82 % Zn.
Two additional zones of lower grade were also intersected in hole JR-22-37DD. From 173.04 metres, an intercept over 7.01 metres averaged 0.37 g/t Au, 3.6 g/t Ag, 0.13 % pb and 0.32 % Zn. From 187.45 metres, an intersection of 9.54 meters averaged 0.28 g/t Au and 2.6 g/t Ag, with no significant lead or zinc.
Hole JR-22-37DD was located approximately 35 Southeast of the Main Hamburg Mine open pit.
Drill Plan - Hamburg Mine Area
Gossanous CRD 24.57 m to 26.12 m, over 1.55 m, 9.42 g/t Au, 73.6 g/t Ag, 2.27% Pb & 2.27% Zn
The Hamburg Mine target is approximately 1.8 kilometers South-Southeast of the Eureka Tunnel target, where the Company was actively exploring throughout most of 2021.
Mineralization in hole JR-22-37DD is hosted within the Hamburg Dolomite unit, where most historic gold and silver production from the underground and open pit workings occurred. The Company does not have detailed mining plans of the historic production from the Hamburg Mine area.
The high-grade mineralization intersected in hole JR-22-36DD, hosted within the Dunderberg Shale horizons, was not tested in hole JR-22-37DD.
Final silver and base metals assays were also returned for hole JR-22-36DD (gold values previously reported), including from 42.64 metres, over 26.27 metres, averaged 5.39 g/t Au and 4.3 g/t Ag. Lead and zine values were insignificant.
Mike England, CEO, said, "Hole JR-22-37DD returned excellent gold and silver values, and represents a significant step-out from the high-grade intersected in hole JR-22-36DD. Multiple new targets have been indicated at the Hamburg Mine area, with drilling to continue throughout the spring and summer."

Table 1: Golden Joint and Lotto Drilling Highlights
1Note that the host structures are interpreted to be steeply dipping and true widths are generally estimated to be 70% to 90% of reported intervals. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Intervals are calculated at a 1 g/t Au cut-off grade; grades have not been capped in the averaging.
At Golden Joint, the intercept of 69.15 g/t Au over 14.15m in NFGC-21-462 demonstrates continuity and significant width of the high-grade vein that is now defined over a strike length of 250m and to a vertical depth of 300m (Figures 2, 4 and 5). The Golden Joint vein is located in the footwall to the AFZ, strikes approximately north-south, steeply dips to the west and is open in all directions.
At Golden Joint HW, the gold zone is defined by a network of stockwork-style veining that is largely hosted within and adjacent to a thick greywacke bed and has now been defined over a strike length of 190m and to a vertical depth of 125m. The highlight interval of 13.35 g/t Au over 2.10m in NFGC-21-264 further defines the high-grade trend in the Golden Joint HW stockwork zone that strikes towards the east-northeast, dips moderately to the southeast and remains open in all directions (Figures 2, 4 and 5).
At Lotto, the main high-grade gold vein has now been extended to a vertical depth of 225m with the intercept of 24.25 g/t Au over 2.20m in NFGC-367A and over a strike length of 200m (Figures 3, 4 and 6). The Lotto main vein is located approximately 150m east of the AFZ, strikes north-south, steeply dips to the east and is open in all directions.
At Sunday, located between the main vein at Lotto and the Appleton Fault Zone (‘AFZ’), NFGC-21-319 intersected 23.08 g/t Au over 2.05m, 65m down-dip of the previously reported 18.1 g/t Au over 6.50m in NFGC-20-44 (see January 14, 2021, news release). The Sunday Zone is located in the footwall to the AFZ, strikes approximately north-south, dips moderately to the east and remains open in all directions (Figures 3, 4 and 6).
Melissa Render, P.Geo., VP Exploration for New Found, stated: “As drilling progresses along this segment of the Appleton Fault Zone, it is very apparent the role and importance of the AFZ as a crustal-scale thrust fault and likely source of the gold mineralizing fluids. All rocks in close proximity to the AFZ have the potential to host high-grade gold mineralization. It is important to note that the high-grade gold sits in structures adjacent to the AFZ within a damage zone that presents as a network of gold-bearing faults. Although the structural setting is complex, it is this complexity that is conducive to gold deposition. Identifying these key structural loci is essential for exploration success.
At Lotto for example, the current drill-defined depth and lateral continuity of the Lotto main vein of 300m x 225m is impressive, and drilling indicates that very high-grade shoots are developing where structures intersect and at distances 200m+ from the AFZ. This introduces a large prospective window surrounding this significant, regional-scale fault zone that transects the full 100+km length of the property. Exploration is working diligently to systematically drill-test this corridor whilst chasing the high-grade main veins at Lotto and Golden Joint to depth and along strike. Additionally, Sunday Zone is situated in a stratigraphic position identical to the Golden Joint Vein, in the immediate footwall to the AFZ. This structural intersection produces an important exploration target and one that we are seeing repeated along the length of the AFZ and that is currently being explored at Golden Joint.
Drilling to date has had a high success rate in intercepting high-grade gold hosted by these structures. One positive of this genetic model for high-grade gold emplacement is that the length of prospective structure to explore becomes many multiples of the strike length along the primary Appleton Fault Zone. When evaluating the over 2.6km corridor from Keats to Lotto the Company is at the very early stages of drill testing this structural network. As an orogenic gold system, the Company believes it is very probable that near surface high-grade gold mineralization will ultimately be traced to significant depth and that the extensive near surface gold almost certainly has been emplaced through a deep plumbing system following a network of fractures to depth. At this early stage in exploration drilling, work will focus on near surface targets, while dedicating a portion of the drill allocation to trace high-grade gold mineralization to depth.”
Discussion
Mineralization at the Queensway Project is hosted by a fold-thrust sequence of northeast-striking, steeply dipping turbiditic sedimentary rocks deposited and deformed during the closure of the Iapetus Ocean and subsequent continent-continent collision. During this prolonged period of continued shortening, at least two regional-deformation zones developed and include the Appleton and JBP fault zones. The AFZ is interpreted to be a significant, deep-seated thrust fault, that strikes southwest across the full 100km+ length of the property and is likely the main conduit for the gold mineralizing fluids, much like the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault Zone in the Abitibi.
As a result of progressive deformation, the brittle host stratigraphy developed an extensive network of gold-bearing fault zones enveloping the AFZ, the extents of which are not yet known. This structural relationship is well illustrated in Figure 4 and demonstrates the currently defined vein and associated fault orientations based on structural interpretation and drilling to date along the 1km corridor from Golden Joint to Lotto. Higher-grades and widths of gold mineralization occur in areas where there was greater mineralizing fluid flow such as at structural intersections, at dilational openings within fault structures, and along lithological contacts where breakage occurs due to rheological differences in the compressional strength of contrasting sedimentary rock units.
The Company’s current interpretation is that the high-grade gold mineralization being drilled at Queensway was deposited by gold mineralizing fluids penetrating this highly fractured and deformed meta-sedimentary sequence forming an extensive mineralized corridor surrounding the deep crustal-scale fault network that forms the Appleton Fault Zone. A significant amount of the high-grade gold mineralization is interpreted to be epizonal in nature, having been emplaced when tectonic movements resulted in the explosive tapping of deep gold-rich magmatic fluids that rapidly precipitated gold as they migrated towards surface.
Golden Joint
Mineralization at Golden Joint occurs in two known structural settings, in the immediate footwall to the AFZ (Golden Joint) and in a more distal setting that is spatially associated with a thick, northeast striking greywacke unit (Golden Joint Hanging Wall (‘HW’). The main vein at Golden Joint trends north-south, is a steeply west dipping massive quartz vein with stylolitic and brecciated vein phases and occurs in the footwall shales adjacent to the AFZ (Figures 4 and 5). This vein is associated with a brittle fault zone and other vein arrays that are currently being modelled. Drilling to date indicates that there is a steep plunging high-grade domain; the current interpretation is that this zone of significant high-grade gold is occurring at the intersection between the AFZ and the main vein at Golden Joint. Modelling also suggests that intersections of the main vein at Golden Joint with other vein orientations is also producing zones of substantial gold enrichment. The Golden Joint HW Zone occurs within and along the contacts of a massive bed of greywacke. Mineralization tends to be characterized by stockwork-style veining that generally trends in an east-northeast orientation and dips moderately to the southeast. Significant deformation is also observed in this area and continued modelling is working to better understand this domain for targeted follow-up. Drilling will continue to follow and expand the domain of high-grade gold within the main vein at Golden Joint while targeting structural intersections along its projection in addition to drilling deeper extensions of the HW Zone.
Lotto
A majority of the exploration drilling to date at Lotto has been focused on testing the main vein. Like the Golden Joint main vein, it too strikes north-south but is steeply dipping to the east. This specific vein also occurs approximately 200m east of the AFZ, has been defined to a vertical depth of 225m and over a length of 200m (Figures 5 and 6). The Lotto main vein is spatially associated with a brittle-fault zone and is developed in close proximity to a narrow bed of greywacke. The lotto vein is often massive and vuggy with localized domains of brecciation. There is also an apparent high-grade domain that is interpreted to steeply plunge to the northeast. The vein at this location crosscuts the thin bed of greywacke but also, the presence of late brecciated vein phases suggest that there is a fault intersection at this location. Continued exploration drilling in this area will focus on expanding the Lotto main vein high-grade domain but will also shift to targeted exploration in the highly-prospective domain between the Lotto main vein and the AFZ. The Sunday Zone indicates the potential for expansion and repetition of vein intersections in the footwall to the AFZ and will be the focus for future drill testing.

Table 4: Details of drill holes reported in this release
Queensway 400,000m Drill Program Update
Approximately 38% of the planned 400,000m program at Queensway has been drilled to date with approximately 21,400m of the core with pending assay results. Eleven core rigs are currently operating and New Found is targeting an increase in the drill count to 14 rigs.
Sampling, Sub-sampling, Laboratory and Discussion
True widths of the intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined but are estimated to be 70% to 90% of reported core lengths. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional variability in true width. Assays are uncut, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 meters using a lower cut-off of 1.0 g/t Au. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either complete sample metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30-gram fire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia, or by entire sample screened metallic screen fire assay at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland. The complete sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with National Instrument 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Company as well as the lab. Approximately 3% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

GLM.ca $GOLXF Golden Lake Reports "26.37 Meters Averaging 5.38 G/T Gold" From New Target at The Hamburg Mine Zone, Jewel Ridge Project, Nevada
by @accesswire on 23 Mar 2022, 05:02
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 23, 2022 / Golden Lake Exploration Inc. (CSE:GLM) ("GLM" or the "Company") (GOLXF-OTCQB) is pleased to report on its first diamond drill hole of the 2022 field season, located at the Hamburg Mine Target, on the Company's keystone Jewel Ridge project, located in the prolific Eureka gold district, Nevada. Hole JR-22-36DD returned a very significant intercept of 26.37 meters averaging 5.38 grams gold per tonne (g/t Au) from a shallow depth of 42.64 meters.
Highlights of this hole include:
The above intercept is part of a much wider interval of mineralization that returned 67.57 meters averaging 2.37 g/t Au, from a depth of 42.64 meters,
These intercepts in hole JR-22-36DD represent the highest gold grades ever drilled on the Hamburg target. The best previous historic hole on the Hamburg target was HRC11, which returned 2.01 g/t AU over 41.1 meters from a depth of 94.5 meters.
The Hamburg target is approximately 1.8 kilometers South-Southeast of the Eureka Tunnel target, where the Company was actively exploring throughout most of 2021.
At the Hamburg Mine, historic gold production from the underground and open pit workings, and previous exploration activities had focused on oxide gold mineralization in the Hamburg Dolomite unit, and/or at the contact of the Hamburg Dolomite with the Dunderberg Shale.
However, the high-grade mineralization in hole JR-22-36DD, occurs within the Dunderberg Shale horizons, associated with silicification and sulfidation, and with frequent and vivid arsenic sulfide minerals, orpiment and realgar (see photos). The Dunderberg Shale represents an attractive new geologic target that has seen little exploration focus, in addition to the known oxide gold mineralization in the altered, oxidized dolomite breccias of the Hamburg Dolomite. The prospective Hamburg Dolomite - Dunderberg Shale contact is projected to extend the entire 3.5-kilometer length of the Jewel Ridge property.
Silver and base metals assays are still pending, which typically take longer to analyze, and will be reported when received.
Holes JR-22-37DD, and JR-22-38DD have been completed on the Hamburg Mine target and are located approximately 225 meters South-Southeast of Hole JR-22-36DD. Assays are pending on these holes.

Mike England, CEO, said, "The discovery of high-grade gold mineralization at the Hamburg Mine zone, in a new geological target, is further indication of the excellent potential of the Jewel Ridge project. We await the base metals and silver values from hole JR-22-36DD which are sure to add value to the impressive intercept received to date. Congratulations and appreciation to our team of geologists and project managers."
Drilling Quality assurance and quality control statement
Procedures have been implemented to assure QA/QC of drill hole assaying being done at an ISO accredited assay laboratory. All intervals of drill holes are being assayed and samples have been securely shipped and received by ALS Labs in Reno, Nevada, with chain-of-custody documentation through delivery. Mineralized commercial reference standards and coarse blank standards are inserted every 20th sample in sequence. All results will be analyzed for consistency.

ILI.v $ARXRF holding TGM.v $TGLDF Trillium Gold Reports High-Grade Gold Values Over Significant Strike Lengths From Surface Channel Sampling at Rivard
by @nasdaq on 22 Mar 2022, 04:10
Consecutive high-grade samples in multiple channels include:
7 metres of 60.2 g/t Au, 6.6 metres of 12.5 g/t Au and 7 metres of 8.9 g/t Au at the VG1, VG2 and RV21-34 outcrops
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: TGM) (OTCQX:TGLDF) (FRA:0702) (“Trillium Gold” or the "Company") is pleased to report results of surface channel sampling and mapping at the Rivard Property, the southwest portion of the Company’s 100%-owned Newman Todd Complex located 26 km from Evolution Mining’s Red Lake Operations in Ontario.
Visible gold(1) is observed in quartz veins in drill holes and in outcrops and trenches across the 90 hectare property. Alteration and wide-spread gold mineralization occur extensively within structurally and chemically favorable rocks. Historically, the Rivard Property contains both visible gold in narrow high-grade veins as well as in broader zones of lower grade gold mineralization ranging from <1 g/t Au to over 560 g/t Au (see news release dated June 29, 2021 – New Discovery Hole at Rivard Confirms High Grade Visible Gold with 129.79 g/t over 1.30 metres).
The channel sampling has shown that the gold values are not confined to small areas within the veins but occur over significant strike lengths along the veins. The absence of gold in a small drill core intersection does not diminish the gold endowment of the greater vein system. The table below shows the highlights of the channel sampling.
Location Channel Sampling
Length (m) Average
Grade (g/t Au)

William Paterson, Trillium Gold’s Vice President of Exploration and former Exploration Superintendent for Goldcorp’s Red Lake Gold Mines added, “Understanding both the controls and the geometry of the high-grade mineralization seen on surface and intersected in drilling on Rivard is vitally important to the expansion of the overall system. We have shown that this vein system is influenced by the east-west structures evident in the NT Zone and our work gives us information on how to explore for and increase our success in delineating the high-grade shoots.”

The program of outcrop washing and channel sampling focused on the Rivard (RV) veins in areas of shallow cover. The areas were chosen from reconnaissance mapping with potential for expanding our understanding of the association of the gold grades and structures, such as veining and sheared vein sections identified from mapping and core logging. Other areas were chosen from unsampled, but previously identified known gold occurrences, such as the VG1 and VG2 areas known to have visible gold (VG) at surface.
Once cleaned off, the outcrops were mapped and the information transferred to high-resolution geo-referenced photos taken by drone. Channel samples were marked out and cut using a rock-saw.
The Rusty Can and Access outcrops located at the southeast corner of the property were identified as good areas for stripping and channel sampling, being in areas of minimal to no outcropping over-top of the NT zone, where it cuts through the corner of the property.
These areas both showed a correlation of elevated assay results in cross-cutting RV-style veining and east-west trending veining. In addition, both areas increase our understanding of the attitude of the contacts and geometries of the NT Zone, including the embayed/fault contact on the west side of the Rusty Can area, and offsets along east-west and Azi 140° trending shears.
The highest-grade portions of the veins (specifically in the VG1, VG2 and RV21-34 outcrops) show an association of the RV-style veining and narrow east-west sheared sections (see Figures 2 and 3). The conclusion drawn is that the higher gold assays are broadly associated with areas of intersection between the RV-style veining and the east-west structures, as pipe-like trends.
It has also been noted, in the mapping of the VG1, 2, & RV21-34 areas, that the veining trends associated with the higher-grade assays are slightly rotated (110° to <135° Azi relative to the regional RV-style vein orientation of ~140° Azi) in areas nearest the narrow east-west shears. Reviewing the drilling data with the revised plunge/pipe trends will assist in refining our interpretation of the higher-grade mineralization in the greater project area.

Outcrop images and a full listing of results for the channel sampling are available on Trillium’s website (www.trilliumgold.com).
All the areas mapped and sampled have increased the understanding of the Rivard property through the lithology, vein, and structural features seen and measured, and will assist in refining future exploration and mineralization models of the property.

ILI.v $ARXRF Imagine Lithium Signs Exploration Agreement with First Nations and Expands Land Package at Jackpot Lithium Project
by @newsfile on 21 Mar 2022, 04:01
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 21, 2022) - IMAGINE LITHIUM (TSXV: ILI) (OTCQB: ARXRF) ("ILI" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has signed a field exploration agreement (the "Agreement") with Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek, Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek and Red Rock Indian Band (the "First Nations Groups") setting out a framework for Imagine Lithium's consultation and accommodation activities with the First Nations Groups in connection with exploration activities at the Jackpot Lithium Project near Thunder Bay, Ontario.
J. C. St-Amour, President and CEO of Imagine Lithium said, "In keeping with Imagine Lithium's ESG goals, the agreement contemplates a mutual working relationship that includes respect for the environment and First Nation traditional knowledge, First Nation opportunities for employment, education and training (including education support for First Nations students studying in a mining related field), and community meetings and activities. Our exploration program at Imagine Lithium is underway and we seek to create value for all our important stakeholders as we move the Jackpot Lithium Project forward."
St-Amour continued, "Never has there been a better time to be involved in lithium exploration in Ontario, with the Provincial government unveiling its first ever critical minerals strategy that aims to position Ontario as a global leader in the supply chain of critical minerals and outlines a made-in-Ontario electric vehicle supply chain strategy. Our goal this year is to aggressively drill, define and expand the known lithium mineralized areas while making new lithium discoveries on this vast property in Ontario.

BARU.v $BARUF Baru Gold Continues Exploration of 23 New Structural Study Targets at Rome and Canberra East and Samples Up To 72.0 g/t Gold and 97.0 g/t Silver Over 0.15 Meters at Rome Target
by @thenewswire on 9 Mar 2022, 06:31
(TheNewswire)
Baru Gold Corp.
March 9, 2022 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, BC - Baru Gold Corp (TSXV:BARU) | (OTC:BARUF) (the “Company” or “Baru”) is pleased to announce that the continuing field analysis of the 23 new exploration targets identified in the structural study has provided promising results.
Initial Field Analysis continued with mapping and sampling of artisanal workings and outcrops found within the Priority 1 Rome Target area. The analysis then progressed to mapping and sampling beyond the eastern boundary of the Priority 1 Canberra Target, which has been named Canberra East.
Assay results of the samples taken from the Rome Target returned an average grade of 42.18g/t gold and 48.42g/t silver. The Rome Target contains samples obtained from strongly oxidised 0.15m and 0.2m wide quartz veins in tuffaceous andesite returning assays ranging from 41.9g/t – 72.0g/t for gold and 5.30g/t – 97.0g/t for silver.
At the Rome Target, the 72.0g/t gold assay was obtained from a tuffaceous andesite containing a 0.15m wide strongly oxidised quartz vein which is shown in Figure 1.
Assay results from the samples taken from within the Canberra East Target returned an average grade of 2.42g/t gold and 5.27g/t silver. The Canberra East samples were obtained from strongly oxidised silica, alunite, pyrite breccia and from strongly oxidised silica clay altered tuffaceous rocks returning assays ranging from 0.31g/t – 5.88g/t for gold and 0.80g/t – 20.70g/t for silver.
These initial sample results from the Priority 1 Rome Target and the Canberra East areas have provided some further ground truthing of the 23 New Exploration Targets defined by the structural study conducted by Murphy Geological Services.
Mr. Frank Rocca, Chief Geologist of Baru, commented, “These are exciting times for the exploration team as we expand our knowledge of the CoW beyond the known Binebase-Bawone deposits and locate these outcrops which could develop into additional ore resources. I look forward to reporting the results of further Field Analysis by the exploration team in due course.”

Drilling Progress Update
Baru announced a 25,000-meter drilling program to test various targets identified in the Sangihe 2010 National Instrument 43-101 report which identified 835,000 ounces of gold as an inferred resource between Binebase and Bawane villages over 1.2 kilometers. To date the Company has prepared 27 drill pads.
The drill rig arrived on the island on December 20, 2021 and preparations were made to commence drilling immediately. However, due to logistical problems encountered enroute to the site, the drill rig was returned to the drilling contractor. Currently, all but one final component of the drill rig is on-site which will be delivered as soon as suitable transportation is secured.
The Company has met all the requirements of the Indonesian government and has been granted its environmental permit and the upgrade of its licence to advance the Sangihe project to construction and production in 2022. All permits for transportation of the final drill rig component have been secured and the Company is ready to start drilling immediately upon delivery of the final component.
ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold, as reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, Indonesia" (May 30, 2017). Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study.
The Company's 70-percent interest in the Sangihe-mineral-tenement Contract of Work ("CoW") is held through PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS”). The remaining 30-percent interest in TMS is held by three Indonesian corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW agreement is 30 years upon commencement of the production phase of the project.
Note: The Company cautions readers that the any production decision made by the Company will not be based on a NI 43-101 feasibility study of mineral reserves that demonstrates economic and technical viability and as such, there may be involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks such as the interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations; commodity and currency price fluctuation; failure to obtain adequate financing; regulatory, recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks; general market and mining exploration risks and production and economic risks related to design and engineering, manufacturing, technological processes and test procedures and the risk that the project's output will not be salable at a price that will cover the project's operating and maintenance costs.

SKYG.v $SRKZF Newfoundland neighbour out with a completely new zone and set of great results...
New Found Intercepts 31.88 g/t Au Over 2.05m & 25.4 g/t Au Over 2.25m at New Gold Discoveries on the JBP Fault Zone ~10km NE of the Keats/Golden Joint/Lotto Discoveries
by @businesswire on 9 Mar 2022, 03:00
New Found Gold Corp. (“New Found” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NFG, NYSE-A: NFGC) is pleased to announce assay results from 51 diamond drill holes designed to test for epizonal style high-grade gold mineralization along the JBP Fault Zone (‘JBPFZ’). These holes were drilled as part of the Company’s ongoing 400,000m diamond drill program at its 100%-owned Queensway project located on the Trans-Canada Highway 15km west of Gander, Newfoundland.

Figure 1. Queensway North regional plan view (Note extent of gold mineralization over 12.4km from limited drilling and surface sampling correlated to the JBP corridor) (Graphic: Business Wire)
Highlights
The JBPFZ is interpreted to consist of a network of NE-trending, steeply dipping, regional-scale, gold bearing shear zones that extend for +100km of strike parallel to and approximately 5km east of the Appleton Fault Zone (‘AFZ’). Reconnaissance diamond drilling completed to date has focused on a +3.5km segment of the JBPFZ that encompasses the 1744 and Pocket Pond target areas (Figure 1).
Historic field work covering the JBPFZ corridor identified several very high-grade gold quartz float boulders (Figure 5) with textures and mineralization styles interpreted to be of epizonal origin and characteristic of the Keats/Golden Joint/Lotto discoveries along the AFZ (Figure 1) in addition to strong Au-in-till anomalies including one sample containing 1744 gold grains at the 1744 Zone. Drilling is targeting possible sources of these high-grade boulders and gold-in-till anomalies.
Recent drilling intersected several near surface high-grade gold occurrences in the 1744 and Pocket Pond target areas. Highlights from this drilling are provided in Table 1 and include the intercepts of 31.88 g/t Au over 2.05m in NFGC-21-180 and 25.40 g/t Au over 2.25m in NFGC-21-304 and are interpreted to be epizonal style high-grade gold mineralization (Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6).
This drilling was designed to test initial target concepts over a large area, a +3.5km long domain of the JBPFZ that is up to 1km wide (Figure 1). While 51 holes have been reported here, drilling to date has only tested a small portion of this 3.5km long fault segment. The Company is very encouraged by the success rate in intercepting high-grade gold mineralization from this initial reconnaissance drilling. Ongoing exploration drilling will focus on stepping out from significant intervals of gold mineralization in addition to testing high-grade gold epizonal targets over large tracts of the JBPFZ corridor.

Table 1: 1744 and Pocket Pond Drilling Highlights
1Note that the host structures are interpreted to be steeply dipping and true widths are generally estimated to be 75% to 90% of reported intervals for Pocket Pond and 55% to 65% of reported intervals for 1744. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Intervals are calculated at a 1 g/t Au cut-off grade; grades have not been capped in the averaging.
Melissa Render, P.Geo., VP Exploration for New Found, stated: “To date our drilling at Queensway has focused on the Appleton Fault Zone and has delivered outstanding results including high-grade discoveries at the Keats, Golden Joint and Lotto zones. As our understanding improves regarding the likely genesis of epizonal high-grade gold mineralization at the Appleton discoveries, the occurrence of boulders (Figure 5) displaying similar characteristics and very strong Au-in-till anomalies along the JBPFZ is highly encouraging, indicating excellent potential for discovery along this +100km long trend. Historic work has demonstrated widespread gold mineralization within the JBPFZ corridor which is interpreted to consist of a network of regional-scale gold-bearing shear zones. Characteristic of orogenic gold systems and similar to mineralization controls along the AFZ, our working concept is that high-grade epizonal style gold mineralization would be hosted in focused areas along the JBPFZ.
In 2019, our initial drill program concentrated on a short segment of the JPBFZ encompassing H-Pond and 1744 target areas and consisted of six diamond drill holes which returned very promising intercepts such as 6.73 g/t Au over 3.0m in NFGC-19-05 and 17.45 g/t Au over 2.0m in NFGC-19-09 (Figure 3). In late 2021, follow-up drilling commenced testing new targets along a broad expanse of the JBPFZ including 1744 and Pocket Pond target areas (Figure 1). This drilling has returned intervals of high-grade, near surface, epizonal style gold mineralization, with results including 31.88 g/t Au over 2.05m in hole NFGC-21-180 in the 1744 area (Figures 3 and 4). Ongoing drilling at JBP will step-out and continue to test around these high-grade intervals. We are excited that work at JBP is affirming the discovery potential for high-grade epizonal style mineralization similar to what we have encountered in our more advanced work along the AFZ. Our ramp up to 14 drills will give us flexibility to aggressively explore the full approximately 12.4km corridor of prospective strike along JBP on Queensway North."

Table 4: Details of drill holes reported in this release
Queensway 400,000m Drill Program Update
Approximately 37% of the planned 400,000m program at Queensway has been drilled to date with approximately 24,900m of the core with pending assay results. Eleven core rigs are currently operating and New Found is targeting an increase in the drill count to 14 rigs by the end of Q1 2022.
Sampling, Sub-sampling, Laboratory and Discussion
True widths of the intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined but are estimated to be 55% to 65% of reported core lengths at 1744 and 75% to 90% at Pocket Pond. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional variability in true width. Assays are uncut, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 meters using a lower cut-off of 1.0 g/t Au. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either complete sample metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30-gram fire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia, or by entire sample screened metallic screen fire assay at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland. The complete sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with National Instrument 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Company as well as the lab. Approximately 3% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

Rock Tech Lithium Signs Memorandum of Understanding with Romanian Government
by @newswire on 8 Mar 2022, 06:00
Site Selection Process Underway for First Expected Lithium Hydroxide Converter in Eastern Europe
VANCOUVER, BC, March 8, 2022 /CNW/ – Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) (FWB: RJIB) (WKN: A1XF0V) (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") is pleased to announce the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") with the Government of Romania. The MoU provides for cooperation and support in the Company's search for a location in Romania for one of the Company's next planned lithium hydroxide converters (the "Converter") and, in the longer term, the construction and operation of such Converter.
Rock Tech believes that a key factor in the site selection process of its second proposed Converter will be access to regional infrastructure, such as transportation links and a rail connection. Rock Tech will seek a close collaboration with authorities, experts, and local partners for all further planning steps.
Following the signing of the MoU, the Company expects to start examining various locations in Romania and elsewhere in Eastern Europe for the site of its proposed Converter, which will further Rock Tech's strategy of building several Converters across Western and Eastern Europe to supply the European electric vehicle industry with high quality lithium hydroxide. The proposed Converter will refine lithium-bearing rock into high-purity lithium hydroxide, which is needed by the electric vehicle industry and its suppliers to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles.
The proposed Converter is expected to produce approximately 24,000 metric tons of lithium hydroxide per year, equivalent to the volume needed to equip around 500,000 electric cars with lithium-ion batteries. With an estimated capital cost of approximately €400 million, the proposed Converter is expected to provide significant and enduring economic benefits, including the direct and indirect creation of more than 500 jobs during its construction and operation.
The MoU establishes a framework meant to address a number of significant factors in the Company's decision-making process, which include:
access to government grants and other financial incentives to support the development of a large scale, commercial cleantech project;
predictable and reasonable permitting and approvals processes and timelines; and
streamlined sharing of information and data for collaboration among project stakeholders.
Rock Tech's Chairman, Dirk Harbecke, and Virgil Popescu, the Minister of Energy for Romania, sign the Memorandum of Understanding (CNW Group/Rock Tech Lithium Inc.)
"We want to initiate the construction and operation of five lithium-hydroxide converters in Europe by 2029 and are grateful for the Government of Romania to support us in finding the ideal location for one of our next converters. It took us almost two years to find and sign our first location in Guben, Brandenburg. To keep our ambitious targets, we plan wisely and long-term. We not only want to invest in Romania, but also build up know-how, create jobs and work closely with local partners," states Dirk Harbecke, Chairman of Rock Tech Lithium.
About Rock Tech Lithium Inc.
Rock Tech Lithium is a cleantech company with operations in Canada and Germany that aims to supply the automotive industry with high quality lithium hydroxide "made in Germany". As early as 2024, the Company intends to commission Europe's first lithium converter with a nameplate production capacity of 24,000 tonnes per year. This is equivalent to the volume needed to equip around 500,000 electric cars with lithium-ion batteries.
The Company has set itself the goal of creating the world's first closed loop for lithium, thus closing the raw material gap on the road to clean mobility. Rock Tech owns the Georgia Lake Project in Ontario, Canada and, as early as 2030, around 50 percent of the raw materials used are expected to come from the recycling of batteries.

Table 1: Highlight results from the Keats Zone
1Note that the host structures are interpreted to be steeply dipping and true widths are generally estimated to be 60% to 95% of reported intervals. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Intervals are calculated at a 1 g/t Au cut-off grade; grades have not been capped in the averaging.
The interval of 47.82 g/t Au over 9.75m in NFGC-21-256A provides further definition of a south-plunging zone of significant thickening of high-grade gold mineralization within the Keats-Baseline Fault interpreted to be hosted in a zone of dilation (Figures 1 and 2).
The intercept of 55.61 g/t Au over 3.20m in NFGC-21-385 is shallow - at approximately 45m vertical depth - and is located approximately 425m south-west of where the south-plunging dilation zone is projected to subcrop at surface beneath a thin blanket of glacial till. This high-grade interval is approximately 200m vertically above the dilation zone on this section line clearly demonstrating the significant extension of high-grade gold outside the dilation zone and towards surface within the Keats-Baseline Fault.
Similarly, the intercept of 10.66 g/t Au over 3.15m in NFGC-21-306 is approximately 75m up-dip of intervals interpreted to be in the dilation zone including NFGC-21-104 which returned 29.10 g/t Au over 11.4m (previously reported, see March 1, 2021, news release).
Greg Matheson P.Geo., Chief Operating Officer for New Found, stated: “These impressive high-grade drill intervals at Keats continue to extend and add definition to the Keats discovery. The intercept of high-grade near surface (45m depth) gold mineralization at a location over 400m south-west from where the thickened dilation zone of high-grade gold is projected to reach surface further demonstrates the broader extent of high-grade gold mineralization hosted within the Keats-Baseline Fault. At Keats, high-grade gold mineralization has now been intercepted in drilling over approximately 800m of strike and from surface to nearly 400m of vertical depth. The three drills operating at Keats continue to step out in all directions. As an orogenic gold system there is good potential to extend this system to multiples of the depth tested so far, and our ongoing drilling will continue to chase this high-grade zone to depth.”
Drillhole Details
Recent reinterpretation of previously reported Footwall Zone intercepts 88.53 g/t Au over 3.35m in NFGC-21-238 (see October 13, 202,1 news release), 56.69 g/t Au over 2.45m in NFGC-21-407 (see January 13, 2022, news release) and 28.20 g/t Au over 4.50m in NFGC-21-413A (see January 26, 2022, news release) suggest these may occur within an area of the Keats Main Zone that has been offset by an east-west trending fault zone. The Keats long section has been updated to reflect this change in interpretation (Figure 2).

Table 3: Details of drill holes reported in this release
Queensway 400,000m Drill Program Update
Approximately 37% of the planned 400,000m program at Queensway has been drilled to date with approximately 25,400m of the core with pending assay results. Eleven core rigs are currently operating and New Found is targeting an increase in the drill count to 14 rigs by the end of Q1 2022.
Sampling, Sub-sampling, Laboratory and Discussion
True widths of the intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined but are estimated to be 60% to 95% of reported core lengths. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional variability in true width. Assays are uncut, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 meters using a lower cut-off of 1.0 g/t Au. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either complete sample metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30-gram fire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia, or by entire sample screened metallic screen fire assay at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland. The complete sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with National Instrument 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Company as well as the lab. Approximately 3% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

SKYG.v $SRKZF Sky Gold Plans 2022 Exploration Activities on the Mustang Property, Newfoundland
by @accesswire on 2 Mar 2022, 02:00
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2022 / Sky Gold Corp. (TSXV:SKYG)(OTC PINK:SRKZF) ("Sky Gold Corp." or the "Company") announces exploration activities for the forthcoming 2022 field season on the company's Mustang property, which is contiguous with New Found Gold Corp.'s Queensway gold project.
The Company is currently sourcing a contractor to commence activities on the Mustang Property which will include induced polarization ("IP") geophysics, detailed soil and rock geochemistry sampling over established anomalies, trenching and geological mapping. This program will be followed by a Phase 2 diamond drill program directed at other targets including:
West Targets - Comprises multiple gold-in-soil anomalies over an area measuring approximately 1,000 meters x 600 meters oriented in a NE-SW direction, paralleling the interpreted Dog Bay Line regional structure. The soil anomalies are located east of the Jasperoid and Barite Showings.
North Woodman Pond Target - Covering an area of 2,000 by 750 meters, this target includes the highest gold-in-soil values received to date of 55 parts per billion gold ("ppb") Au, with highly anomalous arsenic (As) at 87 parts per million ("ppm"). This target is flanked on both sides by the Schooner Fault and offset structures, as identified on Exploits Discovery Corp. ("NFLD") contiguous Mt. Peyton project. NFLD reports that the Schooner Fault represents a sub-parallel trending fault system, identified by GoldSpot Discoveries Corp. (TSX.V: SPOT) for NFLD, located approximately 3.5 km west of the known gold bearing Appleton Fault that hosts New Found Gold's Keats, Lotto, and Knob Zone gold discoveries.
RB (Road Breccia) Target - The RB Target comprises gold-in-soil anomalies along with associated anomalous As values. The anomaly area measures roughly 1,200 meters by 600 meters, in an east-west direction, with anomalous copper (Cu) values being more widespread.
"We are looking forward to starting our 2022 field season directed at defining multiple targets on the Mustang Property that have never been drill tested. Our Mustang and Virginia properties are strategically located in the heart of Newfoundland's modern-day gold rush and poised for discoveries," stated Mike England, CEO of Sky Gold.
Last year (2021) activities included geological mapping, prospecting, soil and rock geochemistry, magnetic geophysics and 3,283 meters of diamond drilling in 19 holes. Drilling was conducted in three areas along the main Mustang Zone, over a length of 1.2-kilometres, trending north-northeast and south-southwest. Significant intervals of lower-grade gold were intercepted in multiple holes, with potential for low-grade, bulk-style mineralization on portions of the Mustang zone. The Company also identified multiple new gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies in the northern and western portions of the Mustang Property (see news release dated June 2, 2021).
The Company also owns the Virginia property in Newfoundland, located contiguous to the southern margin of Labrador Gold Corp.'s Kingsway property where drilling is active on the Big Vein target. The Virginia property has received all necessary permits for its maiden diamond drill program.
Soil Geochemistry Survey Details
Sample processing and assays were completed by Eastern Analytical Labs, of Springdale, Nova Scotia, and ISO 17205 certified laboratory facility. The minus-80 mesh fractions of the samples were analyzed by Fire Assay for Au, and Induction-Coupled Plasma optical emission analysis (ICP-OES), after four-acid (HCl/HNO3/HClO4/HF) digestion for Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, In, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Se, Sn, Sr, Ti, U, V, W, Zn and Zr.

GMG.v $GMGMF GMG and Wood Agree Collaboration Arrangement for Wood to Engineer and Deliver Major Graphene Manufacturing Expansion Projects
by @newsfile on 1 Mar 2022, 04:22
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 1, 2022) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that GMG and Wood have agreed to a non-binding Letter of Intent, with the aim to agree on the terms of binding agreements for Wood to design and deliver major graphene manufacturing expansion projects.
Wood will support GMG in scaling up and automating its proprietary natural gas to graphene manufacturing process. The parties' intent is for Wood to become GMG's engineering, design and construction contractor for GMG's near and long-term graphene manufacturing facility needs in Australia and overseas.
Graphene is one of the main components enabling the GMG and University of Queensland graphene aluminium-ion battery ("G+AI Battery") technology. In 2017 and 2018, GMG developed and proved its proprietary graphene production process to produce graphene from natural gas (i.e. methane). This process produces high quality and scalable graphene, suitable for use in clean-technology applications, including G+AI Batteries. GMG's arrangement with Wood is intended to support scaling and automation of the graphene production process to meet graphene supply requirements for GMG's targeted G+AI Battery division.
A Letter of Intent was earlier signed with Bosch (news release 25 October 2021) for the design and delivery of targeted G+AI Battery manufacturing plants. GMG and Wood will work in collaboration with Bosch to create an aligned production process from graphene manufacturing through to final G+AI Battery products across the Company's facilities.
GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are proud and excited to be collaborating with Wood who are a major, world leading engineering company with a significant focus on the energy transition. As we have told our shareholders, one of our key current activities is engagement with customer and industry partners for G+AI Battery development and this is another example of that progression. In parallel we are also building up our internal battery and graphene engineering capability further through a recruitment programme that is underway. Together with the partnership already established with Bosch this is another important step towards GMG's goal to become a major global supplier of G+AI Batteries as we continue to de-risk the commercial scale up of this technology."
About Wood
Wood is a global leader in consulting and engineering across energy and the built environment, helping to unlock solutions to some of the world's most critical challenges. Wood provides consulting, projects and operations solutions in more than 60 countries, employing around 40,000 people. www.woodplc.com
About GMG
GMG is a clean-technology company which seeks to offer energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene, including that manufactured in-house via a proprietary production process.
GMG has developed a proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications.
In the energy savings segment, GMG has focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving paint), lubricants and fluids. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of graphene aluminium-ion batteries ("G+AI Batteries").

There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Readers are cautioned that reliance on such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, forward-looking information or financial out-look that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. We seek safe harbor.

Table 1: Highlight results from the Keats Zone
1Note that the host structures are interpreted to be steeply dipping and true widths are generally estimated to be 60% to 95% of reported intervals. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional uncertainty in true width. Intervals are calculated at a 1 g/t Au cut-off grade; grades have not been capped in the averaging.
The interval of 62.30 g/t Au over 2.00m in NFGC-21-387 (see Figures 2 and 3) is interpreted to occur within the Keats Main Zone (hosted in the Keats baseline fault) and is located approximately 315m down-plunge from the previous furthest down-plunge high-grade intercept of 61.5g/t Au over 5.20m in hole NFGC-21-360 (see October 14, 2021, news release). Ongoing drilling continues to test the continuity of high-grade gold mineralization in the Keats Main Zone including over this 315m interval.
The intercept of 8.79 g/t Au over 8.25m in NFGC-21-297 is located approximately 80m up-dip from two previously reported high-grade intervals of 21.36 g/t Au over 8.05m and 14.92 g/t Au over 12.85m in hole NFGC-21-204 (Figures 2, 3, and 4).
Intercepts of 28.16 g/t Au over 5.55m in NFGC-21-263 and 43.78 g/t Au over 3.10m in NFGC-21-272 further define the extent of the high-grade gold mineralization and confirm its continuity within the Keats Main Zone.
The Keats Main Zone remains open in all directions and exploration will continue to target the expansion of high-grade gold mineralization in this zone. Drilling at Keats will also continue to step-out on multiple additional high-grade gold intervals intercepted in additional vein sets at varying interpreted orientations including in the Keats footwall.
NFGC-21-144 was drilled another approximately 400m south of NFGC-21-387 in an area named the Trans-Canada Highway Zone (‘TCH’). This hole intersected a near surface fault zone containing gold-bearing quartz veins that returned intervals including 1.77 g/t Au over 3.10m and 1.72 g/t Au over 7.10m. These intervals displayed textures and mineralization typical of high-grade gold mineralization defined in other areas along this segment of the AFZ (Figure 3). Follow up drilling in this area will commence shortly.
Melissa Render, V.P. Exploration for New Found, stated: “Keats has now delivered outstanding intervals of high-grade gold over +800m of strike and to 375m of vertical depth. Drilling in the Keats baseline fault has focused on extending an interpreted thickened, south plunging dilation zone and on extension of this high-grade gold mineralization from the dilation zone to surface. To date we have completed very limited drill testing below this dilation zone. The multiple additional high-grade gold intercepts in other structures outside of the Keats baseline fault is building increasing complexity in the interpreted host vein geometry at Keats. The strike and vertical extent of the high-grade gold mineralization in these multiple vein sets is very encouraging in expanding the dimensions and envelope of the high-grade gold system at Keats.
Big picture we continue systematic exploration drilling along the AFZ, continuing step out drilling at the Golden Joint and Lotto Zones along a +2.5 km trend. In parallel we continue to add to and drill test multiple targets along +20km of total strike on the Appleton and JBP fault zones on Queensway North. The intercepts in hole NFGC-21-144 south of the Trans-Canada Highway adds one more target to be pursued in our ongoing work.”

Table 4: Details of drill holes reported in this release
Queensway 400,000m Drill Program Update
Approximately 35% of the planned 400,000m program at Queensway has been drilled to date with approximately 28,500m of the core with pending assay results. Ten core rigs are currently operating and New Found is targeting an increase in the drill count to 14 rigs by the end of Q1 2022.
Sampling, Sub-sampling, Laboratory and Discussion
True widths of the intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined but are estimated to be 60% to 95% of reported core lengths. Infill veining in secondary structures with multiple orientations crosscutting the primary host structures are commonly observed in drill core which could result in additional variability in true width. Assays are uncut, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 meters using a lower cut-off of 1.0 g/t Au. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either complete sample metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30-gram fire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia, or by entire sample screened metallic screen fire assay at Eastern Analytical in Springdale, Newfoundland. The complete sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au. Drill program design, Quality Assurance/Quality Control and interpretation of results is performed by qualified persons employing a Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consistent with National Instrument 43-101 and industry best practices. Standards and blanks are included with every 20 samples for Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes by the Company as well as the lab. Approximately 3% of sample pulps are sent to secondary laboratories for check assays.

WHN.v Westhaven Drills 3.13 Metres of 45.23 g/t Gold and 195.64 g/t Silver Within 8.00 Metres of 20.22 g/t Gold and 83.97 g/t Silver at the Shovelnose Gold Property
by @nasdaq on 22 Feb 2022, 04:55
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westhaven Gold Corp. (TSX-V:WHN) is pleased to announce drill results from its ongoing, fully-financed drill campaign at its 100% owned 17,623-hectare Shovelnose gold property. Shovelnose is located within the prospective Spences Bridge Gold Belt (SBGB), which borders the Coquihalla Highway 30 kilometres south of Merritt, British Columbia.
Gareth Thomas, President & CEO, comments: “Hole SNR21-55 (8.00m of 20.22 g/t gold and 83.97 g/t Ag) is a completely new high-grade gold discovery within Vein Zone 2 at the Alpine Zone. This hole is approximately 500 metres from previous high-grade intercepts within Vein Zone 2 at the South Zone. This is very exciting as it remains open to the northwest and gives us a whole new area to focus on.”
Recent Drilling Highlights:
SNR21-55 (Alpine : 44.00-52.00m)
8.00 metres (m) of 20.22 g/t gold (Au) and 83.97 g/t silver (Ag),
including 3.13m of 45.23 g/t Au and 195.64 g/t Ag.
(203.00-220.00m)
17.00m of 1.02 g/t Au and 1.24 g/t Ag,

Peter Fischl, Exploration Manager, comments: “Hole SNR21-55 is amongst a group of 17 in-fill holes located in the northwestern part of the currently defined in-pit resource that have not been incorporated into the current resource estimate of 1.1 million ounces gold equivalent. Additional step outs are being planned to follow-up this high-grade intersection in hole SNR21-55. This gold-bearing vein at the top of Vein Zone 2 remains open to the northwest. The shallow nature of this mineralization will contribute to the open-pit potential for this part of the Alpine target area.”

QA/QC
Core samples were prepared using the PREP-31 package in ALS’s Kamloops facility. Each core sample is crushed to better than 70 % passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of 250 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85 % passing a 75-micron (Tyler 200 mesh, US Std. No. 200) screen. 0.75g of this pulverized split is digested by Four Acid and analyzed via ICP-MS (method code ME-MS61m (+Hg)), which reports a 49-element suite of elements. All samples are analyzed by Fire Assay with an AES finish, method code Au-ICP21 (30g sample size). Additional Au screening is performed using ALS’s Au-SCR24 method, select samples are dry screened to 100 microns. A duplicate 50g fire assay is conducted on the undersized fraction as well as an assay on the entire oversize fraction. Total Au content, individual assays and weight fractions are reported. All analytical and assay procedures are conducted in ALS’s North Vancouver facility. A QA/QC program included laboratory and field standards inserted every 25 samples. At least one field blank is inserted in every batch of 25 samples, with additional blanks inserted following samples with visible gold. Westhaven’s ongoing Quality Assurance and Quality Control programs include auditing of all exploration data. Any significant changes will be reported when available.

BARU.v $BARUF Baru Gold Begins Exploration of 23 New Structural Study Targets with Promising Results from Kingston Target
by @thenewswire on 14 Feb 2022, 06:30
(TheNewswire)
Baru Gold Corp.
February 14, 2022 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, BC - Baru Gold Corp (the “Company” or “Baru”) (TSXV:BARU) | (OTC:BARUF) is pleased to announce that it has commenced field analysis of the 23 new exploration targets identified in the structural study with some promising initial results.
Initial field analysis began with mapping and sampling of artisanal workings beyond the western boundary of the Priority 1 Kingston Target which has been named Kingston West and then progressed to the mapping and sampling of outcrops found within Kingston.
Assay results of the samples taken from the Kingston West Target returned an average gold grade of 1.84g/t and 2.89g/t for silver. Kingston West contains potential ore grade samples obtained from strongly oxidised quartz veins in tuffaceous andesite returning assays ranging from 0.83g/t – 5.57g/t for gold and 0.90g/t – 9.10g/t for silver.
Assay results from the samples taken from within the Kingston Target returned an average gold grade of 3.89g/t and 3.79g/t for silver. Kingston contains potential ore grade samples obtained from oxidised hydrothermal breccia with tuffaceous andesite and from strongly oxidised quartz veins in tuffaceous andesite returning assays ranging from 0.84g/t – 14.60g/t for gold and 1.70g/t – 13.10g/t for silver.
The 14.60g/t gold assay was obtained from a tuffaceous andesite containing a 0.73m wide strongly oxidised sheeted vein stockwork containing veinlets of quartz ranging from 0.5cm – 10cm wide. An example of the quartz veinlet is shown in Figure 1.
These initial sample results from the Kingston West and the Priority 1 Kingston Target areas have provided some ground truthing of the first of 23 New Exploration Targets defined by the structural study conducted by Murphy Geological Services.
Mr. Frank Rocca, Chief Geologist of Baru, commented, “These are exciting times for the exploration team as we seek to expand our knowledge of the CoW beyond the known Binebase-Bawone deposits for additional ore resources. I look forward to reporting the results of further Field Analysis by the exploration team in due course.”

ABOUT SANGIHE GOLD PROJECT
The Sangihe Gold Project (“Sangihe”) is located on the Indonesian island of Sangihe, off the northern coast of Sulawesi. Sangihe has an existing National Instrument 43-101 inferred mineral resource of 114,700 indicated and 105,000 inferred ounces of gold, as reported in the Company's "Independent Technical Report on the Mineral Resource Estimates of the Binebase and Bawone Deposits, Sangihe Project, North Sulawesi, Indonesia" (May 30, 2017). Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Company intends to proceed to production without the benefit of first establishing mineral reserves supported by a feasibility study.
The Company's 70-percent interest in the Sangihe-mineral-tenement Contract of Work ("CoW") is held through PT. Tambang Mas Sangihe (“TMS”). The remaining 30-percent interest in TMS is held by three Indonesian corporations. The term of the Sangihe CoW agreement is 30 years upon commencement of the production phase of the project.
Baru has met all the requirements of the Indonesian government and has been granted its environmental permit. The Company has received approval for the upgrade of its licence to advance the Sangihe project to construction and production in 2022.
Note: The Company cautions readers that the any production decision made by the Company will not be based on a NI 43-101 feasibility study of mineral reserves that demonstrates economic and technical viability and as such, there may be involved increased uncertainty and various technological and economic risks such as the interpretation of drill results; the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations; commodity and currency price fluctuation; failure to obtain adequate financing; regulatory, recovery rates, refinery costs, and other relevant conversion factors, permitting and licensing risks; general market and mining exploration risks and production and economic risks related to design and engineering, manufacturing, technological processes and test procedures and the risk that the project's output will not be salable at a price that will cover the project's operating and maintenance costs.
