PLATO GOLD (fka PGC.V)

[Sam Dan]

Todays announcement shows management is trying to get the
attention of Amrican investors. I am not sure these investors need the added choice. The success of PGC will depend on the assays the coming drilling season will produce. We will finally really have proof, one way or another, if the noble minerals are present in significant amounts!
"Effective Dec. 20, 2021, Plato Gold Corp.'s common shares have been approved to begin trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol NIOVF. The Company's Shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol, PGC. The Company has chosen to trade on this US marketplace to provide current and future US-based investors with greater access, ease of trading, home country disclosure, current financial disclosures and Real-Time Level 2 quotes on the OTC Markets website.
"I am pleased that Plato has qualified to trade on the OTCQB market in the U.S., thereby increasing the Company's exposure as well as liquidity for Plato shareholders. With Plato's focus on critical metals, in particular niobium, at our Good Hope Project, we plan on making U.S. investors more aware of the importance of niobium in a large number of important industries. As we further develop this project, its unique location near Marathon, Ontario and proximity to major infrastructure will help to differentiate it from other projects," said Anthony Cohen, President & CEO of the Company.

Finally news from management which details significant exploration rather than Private Placements. A welcome development

"Plato Gold Corp. (TSX-V: PGC; Frankfurt: 4Y7 or WKN: A0M2QX) is pleased to announce it has signed a contract with Prospectair Geosurveys Inc. of Quebec to conduct a high resolution airborne Magnetic and Time-Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) geophysical survey on the Pic River PGE-Cu-Ni Property, located 30 km northwest of Marathon, Ontario. The survey is scheduled to begin in early November 2021 and be completed over a period of 3 to 5 day

Pic River Property Loc

Geophysical Survey Plan (Prospectair Geosurveys Inc.)

The survey planned for Pic River Property will assist in outlining potential PGE-Cu-Ni targets within the favourable layered gabbro series that extends west onto Plato Gold’s Pic River claims from Generation Mining Limited’s Sally Zone Deposit. The layered gabbro unit, which occupies the eastern and northern rim of the Coldwell Alkalic Complex, was identified and mapped by Walker et al. (1993) of the Ontario Geological Survey, as representing the basal portion of the complex.

The layered gabbro unit also hosts other PGE-Cu-Ni mineralized zones including the Marathon Palladium-Copper Deposit along the eastern rim of the complex. Generation Mining is currently awaiting environmental approval for the development of an open pit mining operation. The current Measured and Indicated mineral resource estimate for the Marathon Deposit consists of 3.24 Moz Pd, 1.06 Moz Pt, 796 Mlb Cu, 9.34 Moz Ag and 0.39 Moz Au (Generation Mining Limited website, September 2021).

Anomalies generated by Plato Gold’s upcoming airborne geophysical survey will be used to define targets for a planned diamond drilling program on the Pic River PGE-Cu-Ni Property.

It should be noted that mineralization hosted on Generation Mining’s adjacent Marathon Property is not necessarily indicative or representative of mineralization hosted on the Company’s property. Further exploration work by Plato Gold is required to determine the composition and continuity of the favorable mineralized gabbro horizon across the Pic River Property.

Finally news from management that isn't raising funds but giving actual activity re core evaluation.
"PGC is pleased to announce it has cut an additional 2,267 m of core from its 2018 diamond drill program on the Good Hope Niobium Project, located 45 km northwest of Marathon, Ontario.
Logging and sampling of the core is currently underway. To date, 2,115 samples have been sent to the Actlabs facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario for niobium analysis. The remaining 199 samples from the final 2 holes (PGH-18-10 and -10A) will be submitted for analysis by August 25, 2021.
All holes intersected zones of massive carbonatite within a brecciated system consisting of variably fenitized (altered) alkaline rocks (syenite to alkali feldspar granite) intruded by carbonatite dykes and crosscutting carbonatite veins. The drilling encompassed an area of approximately 500 m by 500 m with all holes drilled in a northwesterly direction. The nine completed drill holes ranged in length from 372 m to 672 m, testing the area to a vertical depth of between 285 m and 580 m.
Assay highlights from previous work conducted on the property include up to 1.466% niobium (Nb2O5) and 11.52% phosphorus (P2O5) from sampling of the original surface pits in 2014 and up to 0.950% Nb2O5 and 6.20% P2O5 over 1.1 m in core sampling by Plato Gold during its initial diamond drilling program in 2018 (Giroux 2018). Other significant results from the 2018 program, which consisted of 5016 m of HQ diameter drilling in 10 holes, are provided in the table above.
Exploration planning and ongoing review of all historical data indicated that additional sampling of the drill core was warranted. Ultraviolet (UV) scanning of the recently cut drill core has indicated a high percentage of apatite in unsampled sections, which is closely associated with the niobium-rich pyrochlores, that was previously not examined because of budgetary constraints.
The Good Hope Property is a discrete carbonatite complex located northwest of the Prairie Lake Carbonatite Complex. The Good Hope carbonatites are host to niobium mineralization which occurs principally as pyrochlore-apatite clasts within a carbonatite breccia. The carbonatites are distinct in their mineralogy from the nearby Prairie Lake Complex.
The Company is planning a high-resolution magnetic and radiometric airborne geophysical survey over the Good Hope Property prior to initiating a phase 2 diamond drilling program.
The technical information found within this news release has been reviewed and approved by Gerald D. White, B.Sc., P.Geo., a qualified person (QP) for the purposes of NI 43-101."

More fundraising necessary to begin a drill program. At least we hope so. It's a yearly promise from management but never seems to happen.
The only hope for shareholders is actual drilling occurs a and of course positive assays are found.

A major update from Management of the Argentina LOLITA Project and increased interest to 95% interest released today.
Quite lengthy and I will post some portions but suggest investors read the whole document.
"Previously Plato has conducted three phases of prospecting, geological mapping and surface rock samples that resulted in the discovery of previously unknown hydrothermal structures with little or no prior sampling activity. These zones were named Espalda, Colita, Panza, and Corazon. Both west-northwest and northwest-trending structures are important on the property
A ground IP (induced polarization) survey has confirmed the geological/geochemical targets at the Corazon and Panza targets and indicated a new target at Panza. IP chargeability anomalies of strong intensity and large dimensions were detected at both targets
As of August 30, 2020, in accordance with the joint venture agreement, Plato increased its joint venture interest to 95% with Dr. Paul Lhotka continuing to hold the remaining 5%. Dr. Lhotka remains optimistic about the exploration potential of the project, looks forward to seeing it drilled for the first time, and is available to offer technical advice on the Lolita Project.
"Plato Gold thinks we have one of the best prospective precious metals exploration properties in Santa Cruz and look forward to either drilling the targets ourselves or bringing in an optionee to help develop the project and earn an interest in the property," said Anthony J. Cohen, President & CEO of Plato. "The discovery of many precious metals deposits surrounding us bodes well for further discoveries for Lolita and Plato Gold," added Cohen."

Encouraging news re ability to recover massive Carbonite from the Niobium Project. Indicates flotation method and recovery can be achieved at a lower cost and maximum retrieval. Thus revenue production at a maximum.
") (“Plato” or the “Company”), an exploration company with a portfolio of properties in Northern Ontario and Santa Cruz, Argentina is pleased to announce the completion of a Preliminary Mineralogical and Metallurgical Study (the “Study”) on a 39.8 kg sample of drill core from the Good Hope Niobium Project, 45 kilometres northwest of the town of Marathon, Ontario.

The study, carried out by Process Mineralogical Consulting Ltd. (“PMC”), of Maple Ridge, B.C., was conducted to determine if the niobium-bearing carbonatites from the Good Hope Niobium Project were amenable to concentration by gravity and flotation methods. These are conventional methods used for Niobium recovery. The sample used for PMC’s study came from a representative sample as chosen by PMC from drill hole PGH-18-10A from Plato’s previous drill program (See Press Release dated September 19, 2018).

The initial preliminary mineralogical and metallurgical study yielded encouraging results. Although a conclusion cannot be determined regarding the quality of the concentrate that it is possible to achieve due to the limited number of tests and small sample size, valuable information was obtained:

Pyrochlore is the only Nb-bearing mineral identified in the sample.
The pyrochlore is not predominantly ultrafine with ~ 4% of the pyrochlore grains being <20 µm.
There does not appear to be any severe metallurgical concerns that would impede the recovery of the pyrochlore to a combined gravity and flotation concentrate.
A typical flowsheet for niobium recovery may include both gravity and flotation: Gravity may be preferred for coarser grained pyrochlore with flotation often applied to finer grained material., Approximately 70% recovery was achieved in the preliminary gravity rougher circuit
Apatite and zircon - were also concentrated in both gravity tests. However, if these diluting agents can be separated from the rougher gravity concentrate, they would be a potential additional source of revenue, as well as increasing Nb grade. This will be tested in future rounds of test work.
Among the recommendations, PMC suggests Plato perform further flotation studies with the selection of a reagent schemes. This may indicate the viability of an all flotation plant and would give further data on pyrochlore concentrate grades and recovery

“We are extremely pleased with these preliminary mineralogical and metallurgical findings,” said Anthony J. Cohen, President & CEO of Plato. “We had not realized the potential for zirconium on this property to be a valuable credit, along with the apatite, to the niobium-bearing pyrochlore. Furthermore, the metallurgy is conventional, and there is an absence of significant amounts of either uranium or thorium which are expensive to handle and/or dispose of,” added Cohen. “We are looking forward to our next drill program now that we have this valuable information, to further develop this well-located niobium project. I could not be more encouraged now to move this project forward,” said Cohen.

Mr. John Fox, P.Eng of Laurion Consulting Inc is the independent “Qualified Person” as defined in NI 43-101, who has reviewed the PMC report and this press release and approved the technical content in this press release."

Management seems to be getting serious regarding development of their holdings
"Plato Gold Corp. has engaged the services of Hoewler International Investor Relations and Consulting in Oyten, Germany for a period of 6 months.

Maurice Hoewler will inform investors in the German speaking area of Central Europe about the group of assets that Plato controls in both the critical metals and precious metals areas and in his role will represent the company in Europe. Plato is currently waiting for mineralogical and metallurgical test results of core samples from its Good Hope niobium project. The results in metallurgy will help advance this important project forward in its development. Niobium is one of the United States and Canadian government's strategic and critical metals used in a variety of high technology uses such as EV batteries, quantum computing and defense applications that make domestic supply critical to protecting our way of life."

Management announces additional claims obtained in their Platinum project.

"PLATO GOLD ADDS CLAIM UNITS TO OPTION AGREEMENT WITH RUDY WAHL FOR THE PIC RIVER PGM (PLATINUM GROUP METALS) PROJECT

Plato Gold Corp. has amended the Pic River PGM (platinum group metal) project option agreement with an addition of six new claims to the total property. The amended property now totals 111 Single Cell Mining Claims and covers an area of approximately 2,247 hectares including 19 claims on the eastern boundary next to Generation PGM.

As announced on January 28, 2020, Plato entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Pic River PGM Project in Foxtrap Lake and Grain Township, Thunder Bay Mining District. The original option agreement was subjected to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and such approval was received.

"I am very pleased about the acquisition of these claims to our Pic River PGM Project, which is contiguous to the western boundary of Generation Mining's platinum/palladium project," said Anthony J. Cohen, President & CEO of Plato Gold Corp. "There are interesting ground magnetic survey results on these newest additional claims which are on strike with the Sally deposit on Generation Mining's land package," added Cohen.

About the Pic River PGM Project

As disclosed in the press release of January 28, 2020, mapping by Walker et al (1993) indicates the favourable layered gabbro series (the basal portion of the Coldwell Complex) of rocks that host the PGE-Cu-Ni mineralized zone of Generation Mining Inc.'s Sally, Willie, Skipper, Four Dams zones and the Marathon Deposit trend onto the Pic River PGM-Cu-Ni property. Previous ground magnetic surveys indicate magnetic highs that may correspond to the higher magnetic zones within the gabbroic rocks.

According to Generation Mining's webpage, the Marathon deposit is "one of" the largest undeveloped platinum group metal mineral resources in North America hosting several PGM-Copper deposits, including the 7.1 million ounce palladium-equivalent Marathon Deposit. On January 6, 2020, Generation Mining Limited released a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) giving Marathon an after-tax net present value (NPV) of $871 million (Press Release Generation Mining January 6, 2020).

Mineralization hosted on the Marathon property is not necessarily indicative or representative of mineralization hosted on the Company's property.

The Generation Mining Inc.'s Sally Area 41 zone is indicated to be on strike to the Pic River PGM-Cu-Ni property. This PGM-Cu-Ni drill defined mineralized zone is located on the northern margin of the East Gabbro and is comprised of four mineralized zones.

Exploration by Plato will focus on defining the gabbroic units on the Pic River PGM-Cu-Ni property and determining the PGM-Cu-Ni mineralization.

Ground magnetic survey over the target area outlined potential PGM-Cu-Ni targets.

Target sites

About Good Hope Niobium

Project

As previously announced on May 31, 2017, the Good Hope Niobium Property consists of a total of 19 claims, 263 claim units (prior to Mining Lands Administration System claims conversions in 2018) and 4208 hectares in Killala Lake Area and Cairngorm Lake Area Townships, northwest of Marathon, Ontario. The Good Hope Property is located approximately 45 kilometers northwest of Marathon and 28 km north of Highway 17. The property is readily accessible from Trans-Canada Highway 17 and Dead Horse Road. The Property is also in close proximity to the Hemlo gold mining camp.

The regional geology around the Good Hope Property consists of alkaline and carbonatite intrusions formed during Midcontinental rifting within the Trans-Superior Tectonic zone. The Good Hope Property forms a doughnut around the Prairie Lake Complex. The Prairie Lake Complex is composed of carbonatite, ijolite and potassic nepheline syenite. The most common rock types on the Good Hope Property are carbonatite, syenite breccia and ijolite. The Good Hope Property hosts Niobium mineralization in pyrochlore. The Niobium mineralization differs from that in Prairie Lake Complex in that it is low in Th and U contents.

The discovery of Niobium mineralization at Good Hope was made by Rudy Wahl in 2010 when he identified 1.63 % Nb2O5 in a small outcrop on site #28. In 2014, he followed up with mapping and prospecting in 5 pits that he dug in the area. Subsequent exploration work on the property includes: grab sampling, channel sampling, trenching, ground radiometrics survey, airborne magnetic - radiometrics surveys and mineralogical studies. Mineralogical studies completed in 2014 by Professor Roger H. Mitchell on samples from site #28 shows that the pyrochlore minerals are ThO2-free and contain very low UO3 so radionuclide problems are low for future extraction.

During the summer of 2015, a detailed prospecting-geological survey was completed on the Good Hope Property with the objective of finding larger zones of mineralized, non-radioactive carbonatite. The first trench, TR-01, revealed a non-radioactive carbonatite at the contact with a syenite. The carbonatite is at least 5 meters wide by 15 meters long, and observations indicate that it extends underneath the swamp for an unknown distance. The best result from 26 channel samples in trench TR-01 is 1.205% Nb2O5 over 1.10 meters. Trench TR-04 revealed a contact between ijolite breccia and syenite breccia, both matrix being carbonatite, with a chunk of massive carbonatite. Again, the carbonatite most likely extends underneath the swamp. The best channel sampling result for TR-04 is 0.437% Nb2O5 over 0.60 meters. In summary, the 2015 exploration program was successful in discovering a new type of niobium mineralization which is potentially a non-radioactive carbonatite intrusion. As the discovery coincides with a low magnetic/low topography sector, all the multi square-kilometers low topography, low magnetics area covered by the Good Hope Property, is considered highly prospective.

Two drill holes were completed in 2016 for a total of 280.7 m on an airborne radiometric anomaly near the discovery site #28. The assay highlights for drill hole PL-01 include 0.45 % Nb2O5 over 1.0 m and 6.25 % P2O5 over 1.0 m. The assay highlights for drill hole PL-02 include 0.34 % Nb2O5 over 1.0 m and 5.81 % P2O5 over 1.0 m. The Niobium mineralization in drill core is associated with carbonatite and syenite carbonatite breccia.

Dr. Selway is a Qualified Person ("QP") as defined by National Instrument 43-101 was responsible for the technical information contained in the May 31, 2017 news release and has reviewed and approved its content.

As previously announced on September 19, 2018, Plato completed 5016 metres of diamond drilling on the Good Hope Property. The drilling focused on outcropping mineralization at 'Site 28' in the northwestern part of the property and encompassed an area of approximately 500m by 500m (see Figure 3). All holes were drilled in a northwesterly direction. The nine completed drill holes ranged in length from 372 to 672 metres, testing the area to a vertical depth of between 285 and 580 metres (see Press Release dated 6 June 2018 for drill collar information). All holes intersected zones (up to 27m wide) of massive carbonatite within a brecciated system consisting of variably fenitized syenite/quartz-syenite intruded by carbonatite dykes and crosscutting carbonatite veins. Although the brecciated nature of the host rocks makes any orientation or trend of mineralization difficult to determine, the intersection of massive carbonatite in every drill hole from surface up to approximately 500m depth suggests that significant potential exists for niobium mineralization over a large area.

Assays of the drill core samples collected from the program peaked at 0.950% niobium (Nb2O5) with 6.20% phosphorus (P2O5) over 1.1m in a sample of massive carbonatite (PGH-18-06, 382.94-384.04m).

The two most significant intersections from the drilling program were 0.190% Nb2O5 and 2.04% P2O5 over 93.08m (drill hole PGH-18-06; 354.18-447.26m) and 0.175% Nb2O5 and 2.03% P2O5 over 89.24m (drill hole PGH-18-10A; 345.0-434.24m).]
