- Follow-up stream sediment sampling completed highlighting key prospects
- Soil grids completed over Swan, Eagle and Hawk target areas
- Larger target area developing through systematic exploration
VANCOUVER , Nov. 26, 2018 /CNW/ – NxGold Ltd. (“NxGold” or the “Company“), (TSXV: NXN) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration program at the Mt. Roe Project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia . The Company has recently completed a follow-up phase to the initial anomalous stream sediment samples continuing its systematic approach to target area identification and drill target refinement at the Mt Roe Project. This follow-up work included additional stream samples, gridded soil samples and rock (grab) samples.

Figure 1: Stream sediment sample results compiled with Gridded Soil Sample locations from the Mt. Roe Project (CNW Group/NxGold Ltd.)
A total of 47 stream silt samples (see Figure 1 and Table 1) were collected following up on the initial encouraging results which identified numerous target areas including an approximately 1.2 km long section of the Sholl ridge, host to the Eagle, Kangaroo and Bulldog target areas and coincident with a large magnetic high feature identified from the detailed UAV-magnetics survey (details of which are described in the News Release dated 15 October 2018 ). As a result of this recent sampling, the target areas have been further refined to approximately a 500m , 350m and 250m section of the Eagle, Bulldog and Kangaroo target areas, respectively. Assay results from gridded soil samples from the Eagle area are pending. The Eagle area is expected to be a primary focus for drill targeting given the presence of the magnetic high anomaly, coincident stream anomalies and high-grade rock (grab) samples.
The Hawk , Swan and Sun target areas were expanded by the additional stream samples. Results from the gridded soil samples are pending from the Hawk and Swan areas. Additional work is required to better understand controls of the anomalous stream sample distribution.
The areas chosen for grid-based soil sampling utilised an 80 m line spacing and 40 m sample spacing with lines oriented to the north-west with a total of 139 soil samples being collected (Figure 1). The target areas of initial interest include the Hawk area (26 samples) located near the known “80oz” prospector’s patch, the Eagle area (86 samples) where earlier trenching programs exposed a gold bearing structure, and the Swan area (27 samples), which hosts numerous gold nugget patches and structures exposed in trenching that returned anomalous gold and copper values (see the News Release dated September 10, 2018 ). Assay results from this work program are pending.
Christopher McFadden , Chief Executive Officer commented, “In a relatively short period of time since acquiring the property this year, our team has evaluated the property for different mineralisation styles and advanced to the drill target delineation stage through the systematic exploration of the Mt Roe tenements. This approach will also be used to evaluate the Prinsep tenements and the pending tenements on Mt. Roe which are expected to be granted shortly. The identification of vein structures in the Eagle, Hawk and Swan areas among others, supports the existence of primary gold mineralisation on the property. “
UAV Orthophotography and Magnetics Survey
Images from this survey are available on the Company’s website (www.nxgold.ca).
Initial program on Prinsep tenements
A total of 7 stream sediment samples were collected and a soil grid with 80 m line spacing and 80 m sample spacing was sampled for 60 samples collected. This was an initial work program focused on historical areas worked by prospectors using metal detectors. Results from this program remain pending.
Next Steps
Upon compilation of all the work completed this year-to-date, NxGold believes it will be in a position to complete a target prioritisation review to prepare for scout-drilling that will test the continuity of known conglomerate and prospective gold target areas.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulations Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
About NxGold
NxGold is a Vancouver-based exploration company. The Company owns 80% of the Mt. Roe gold project located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Company has also entered into an earn-in agreement with Meliadine Gold Ltd. to earn up to a 70% interest in the Kuulu Project (formerly known as the Peter Lake Gold Project) in Nunavut .
Technical Disclosure
The on-going sampling programs of stream sediments, soils, rocks and chip samples involve a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program that includes the collection of field duplicates and insertion of certified reference materials at frequency of roughly one in ten samples. Rock samples, stream samples and some chip samples are selective in nature and are not representative of mineralisation on the property. All samples have been sent to Intertek Genalysis in Perth , WA for preparation and analysis. Rock and chip samples were analysed using a 50g fire assay for gold and a 10g aqua regia, 32-element inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (‘ICP-OES’). Samples with visible gold or returning >10 g/t gold by fire assay are subject to a screen fire assay analysis. Stream sediment samples were analysed using 1000g bulk leach extractable gold analysis with Leachwell accelerant followed by ICP-MS with a 10g sample split for aqua regia 32 element ICP-OES analyses.
Stream samples were field screened fine fraction (minus 80 mesh) with a collected mass of 10-12kgs. Soil samples were field screened to minus 4mm with a collected mass of approximately 4kg. All samples were split by a two-tier riffle splitter in a secure storage facility into a laboratory sample and a retained reference sample.
NxGold advises that the Mt Roe Gold project is an early stage exploration project utilising an evolving gold deposit model for a paleo-placer style of mineralisation. Abundant exploration work is required to understand the previously unrecognised sedimentary geology and confirm if the source(s) of the coarse gold is located within NxGold Ltd.’s tenements. There is no certainty of the discovery nor definition of a mineral resource.

Knocking on Heavens Gate
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCKING ON HEAVEN’S DOOR
We as humans, I am sure want to believe this is not all there is to life. Many assume that when the body dies the spirit goes somewhere. The general belief is you are going up or down. To paradise or a place that would be eternal torture… kind of like having to hang out with the Kardashian family for eternity. Where will this discussion lead ??? … climb aboard and see where this takes us but first we are going to a place I named … Heaven’s Gate.
I am a shareholder and big fan of Newrange Gold. I have toured the Pamlico Property twice and most importantly have spent quality time with the crew and have grown to admire and most importantly trust them implicitly with my investment dollars. I have gotten to know the key members of the crew while in the field and primarily at the BBQ pit. My goal is to share my valid opinion and beliefs and share that with my readers and give you a feel for the crew of NRG and why I believe this company has so much upside potential.
I met Nate Tewalt, the GEO of the property at the entrance of the Pamlico property by a gated fence. I jokingly called it “Heaven’s Gate”… as that is what all investors hope they are entering, when they put their hard-earned dollars into this casino… known as Jr. Miners. Nate laughed when I called it Heavens’ Gateand he said it jarred a fond long tucked away memory from his youth.
Nate Tewalt, was living near the town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in 1980, he was a fun-loving typical teen enjoying the summer break. Out of the blue he was approached by a casting crew to appear as an extra in a local movie. He was assigned the part of an elegant gentleman. His role consisted of dancing and romancing young starlets as an extra. Little did he know at the time but he was part of the biggest box-office bomb ever, the infamous film called Heaven’s Gate.
The Oscar winning director, Michael Cimino was fresh off his blockbuster Academy Award winning film, The Deer Hunter. He was deemed a genius and was given carte blanche to create another cinematic wonder. To say he dropped the ball is a colossal understatement. This waste of precious film and acting talent, has been dubbed the worst movie ever made. Cost overruns were astronomic and thousands of reshoots were all for naught. The film cost over $40 million and took in a paltry $3.5. This debacle caused the collapse of United Artist Studio and destroyed many a thespians dream.
Nate Tewalt’s best acting was mostly left on the cutting room floor. (Third from the right on the roller skates ?)
While it was a fun summer fling, Nate realized he was going to say goodbye to fleeting Hollywood dreams and proceed with his true passion … a career in geology and mining in which he would thrive. Tinseltown’s loss was Newrange Gold’s gain.
Graduating from Colorado State with a degree in Geology, Nate has gone on to prosper and be a founder or consultant of no less than 10 successful projects and mining companies in his 30 plus year career. Meridian Gold, Great Basin Gold and Standard Uranium among them. He has been a part of discovering three working mines. That my friend is a sure sign of his success so far. He is applying those skill sets to the Pamlico project outside Hawthorne, Nevada. Nate considers this his most challenging and possibly biggest discovery yet.
Nate is an old school geologist, hands on, boots on the ground… grime and sweat the norm of each day. He is not one to stay in an air-conditioned cushy office and peruse drawings and maps. He is out getting sunburned, wind-whipped and hammered by the Nevada heat and he would have it no other way. He insists on doing his own mapping and charting as he says he is way too picky and a stickler for accuracy and consistency in his analysis. He said many a project fails from sloppy record keeping and misinterpretation of the data. Nature puts the Gold where it is, the geologist must solve the puzzle as to where it is hidden. He feels data must be consistent and standardized to be of any use. There is no one better to do it than someone he trusts …yup one Nate Tewalt.
Along his career path Nate was fortunate to befriend a like-minded, kindred soul, Tom Chadwick who is considered to be the one of the best mappers in the country. The quality of his work is impeccable. Tom has visited and charted almost every major discovery in the West and he is especially familiar with the Nevada region. He along with Nate believes that Pamlico is very special and could be an absolute beast when it is all said and done. The problem (which is a good problem to have) is the land package is so massive it is hard to get one’s hands around it. It must be systematically and methodically interpreted before it is understood.
The great news it is in the capable hands, a stickler for perfection and details … none other than the Elegant Gentleman full of dirt and grime … Mr. Nate Tewalt.
In previous articles I have covered the attributes and experience of the CEO of Newrange, Bob Carrington. I have gone underground with him and witnessed his dogged determination and passion for trying to turn Pamlico into a mine. I could only wish I could somehow bottle this and allow shareholders to see how much blood, sweat & tears go into his pursuit for the Mother Lode. Bob and crew work grueling untold hours pursuing their dreams in sweltering heat and sometimes bitter cold. Most shareholders have no clue how dedicated this team is.
Another famous twist on Heaven’s Gate is none other than another all-time debacle and absolute tragedy. This would be none other than the warped vision of an absolute madman … Marshall Applewhite. This kook convinced 38 poor souls that if they followed him, he could take them to paradise by catching a ride on Haley’s Comet. While I won’t go into gory detail, the reason why it is so entrenched in my mind is that it occurred less than 10 miles from my home. These poor souls had their last meal at our favorite pancake house. Needless to say, that put the kibosh on that family dining treat My kids were horrified of the place never to be enjoyed again. Sad how one mans horrific actions can affect so many.
How does that relate to Newrange ??? Let me try to explain. As I stated earlier investing in Junior miners is in a way like going to a casino. There are many charlatans, carpet baggers and scoundrels that run these companies. There are many con artists trying to separate you from your money. Fortunately, the business is such is there are also some absolute solid well-run companies that work hard for their shareholders. Newrange Gold in my opinion is one of these diamonds in the rough. They have a potentially awesome property with highly skilled
leadership. These are honorable, hard-working men that are passionate to make a world class discovery. It does take time and much blood, sweat and tears along with fantastic mapping and clear interpretation of the data. Having three of the best in the business, Bob, Nate & Tom working one project is a rarity but a sure blessing for NRG shareholders. Patience is paramount and the only way to make money. Buy Right & Sit Tight !!!
The price recently took a big hit when drill results weren’t eye popping, which the market anticipated from the previous stellar drill results. They were also released during an absolutely dismal time for the price of Gold. Nate explained to me when we were at Pamlico, the drill results they were more focused to strategically understand the mineralization rather than try to improve existing grades. This is a marathon play not a sprint !!! Any weakness in share price should be viewed as a gift. It’s not when you buy that matters but when you sell. Investing in Juniors is a crap shoot but the risk/reward ratio can be stunning when entering by way of the Right Gate !!! … the Pamlico Gate just outside Hawthorne, Neveda.

To state that Oil has been through some tough sledding in recent sessions would be a colossal understatement. After recently hitting the skids for an unprecedented twelve consecutive sessions, this decline represents a rout never before witnessed.
Looking at this chart, you’d think global demand had fallen off a cliff.
Aside from Trump telegraphing warnings to OPEC not to cut production, there seems to be a perception out there that oil is fast becoming obsolete, that it’s going away, that the global shift toward a greater reliance on EV’s (electric vehicles) will render it a useless commodity overnight.
Not true. Not by a highway mile. The Big Three automakers continue to crank out traditional gas-powered vehicles, producing more in a single day than Tesla will in an entire year. Global oil consumption could top 100 million barrels per day going into 2019.
This next oil chart depicts the last five years of trading. The $50 level looks as if it could represent a fairly decent support zone. It’s also a big round number.
The market often succumbs to these big round numbers as if by some powerful gravitational pull.
My take of this support zone (horizontal line drawn in blue): a decent bounce from here, if not a bottom, could be in the cards short term.
For sure, the rumblings coming out of the Whitehouse and OPEC will continue in the weeks and months to come. For sure, the volatility we’ve witnessed recently will have made its masterpiece by year-end (Bill Shakespeare voice). But this current situation could represent a rare opportunity to back up the truck on asset rich companies at deeply discounted prices.
As the Chinese have been preaching for centuries…
The evolution of an aggressive small-cap oil company…
Jericho Oil Corp (JCO.V), a micro-cap in the oil space, is one of those rare company’s that had the foresight to stoke up its treasury while the going was good, before the market imploded several years back. With roughly $13M in the company coffers, it went looking for the right opportunity.
That opportunity came along in the mid-continent of the US – Oklahoma. Today, the company boasts an enviable land position of some 55,000 acres, including 16,000 acres in the Anadarko basin STACK play of Oklahoma.
According to the Fraser Institute’s list of the Most attractive jurisdictions for petroleum development, Oklahoma ranks number 2.
Jericho’s philosophy…
If you are small – relative to the size of the true giants in the industry – you need to be focused. You need to appreciate the opportunity-set in front of you. And you need to know the marketplace you plan to execute in.
By focusing on Oklahoma, they’ve completely mitigated the risk of any sudden systemic governmental shift that could take away their business. Local and state governments are more apt to move Heaven and Earth to see that wells get drilled, and assets get developed.
Nearby communities are tied to oil production. They’re immersed in the culture and fully appreciate the many dividends oil production can generate.
Deep value / strong hands…
Jericho acquired their position in the STACK for an average of $2,300 per acre. Today, those acres are fetching better than $15k per.
All of the these acquisitions have been drilled in the past. Jericho know there’s a significant resource there. They know the field is productive. They know the oil is extractable.
While the company was in the process of picking off properties on the cheap, they gained the support of three significant shareholders, each taking down a > 10% interest in the company. The names include the likes of…
- The Breen Family Trust, with patriarch Ed Breen, former president of Motorola, ex-Chairman, CEO and liberator of Tyco International, current CEO DuPont… you get the idea.
- A prominent private oil family with Oklahoma roots, via a family trust. Their investment in Jericho speaks volumes.
- The Hegna Family via Steve and Mette Hegna.
Make no doubt about it, this 10% plus club represents solid votes of confidence in Jericho’s underlying fundamentals. They represent long-term shareholders, smart money, and strong hands.
Another benefit of engaging these strategic shareholders: No investment banks. No finders fees. With this management team, every penny is a prisoner.
The STACK…
Named after the counties of Sooner, Trend, Anadarko, Canadian, and Kingfisher, the STACK has evolved into a premier North American horizontal development play.
The acronym also represents the multiple, stacked productive formations present in the area:Chestermanning, Meramec, Osage, and Woodford.
This a prolific hydrocarbon system. The STACK’s hallmark: high oil and liquids-rich natural gas content, multiple horizontal target horizons, extensive production history, and historically high drilling success rates.
It’s important to understand that the area is dominated by a handful of large producers – Continental Resources, Devon Energy, Marathon Oil, Alta Mesa Resources, Newfield Exploration, and Chesapeake Energy. These companies have poured billions of dollars into developing their STACK assets. Jericho has positioned itself in the land of giants.
Actually, the above list needs revision…
The recent takeover involving Newfield’s assets pound home the intrinsic value here – the price producers are willing to pay for these STACK assets.
The chart below helps demonstrate why these assets are so damn desirable…
The STACK is among the lowest cost basins on the entire continent. The region is flush with infrastructure. The area has good takeaway capacity – there are good pipes in the ground. Good takeaway capacity means exacting the best possible price for extracted oil.
Another factor driving investment in the region: your typical 1-mile horizontal well produces approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000 barrels of oil equivalent with rates of return greater than 75%. These are serious numbers.
The shift…
The pennies-on-the-dollar bargains Jericho scooped up in 2015 thru 2017 are not there today. As the market for acres shifted from dirt cheap to overpriced, so has the company’s focus. There have been no acquisitions since September of last year. The company’s focus is now on development. And they have heaps of development runway.
Developing a well is not an overnight process. From a scientific POV, a lot of thought and methodical planning need to go into it. Be that as it may, the company has two wells in the bag and two more coming on.
The wells…
Producing Operations:
Wardroom (Meramec formation):
- Jericho holds a 47.5% Working Interest.
- currently producing at 220 Gross BOE per day (40% oil; 227 days since first oil production)
Swordspear (Osage formation):
- Jericho holds a 47.5% Working Interest.
- currently producing at 351 Gross BOE per day (50% oil; 128 days since first oil production)
Drilling operations:
Trebuchet (Operator: Armor Energy; Major County – Osage formation)
- Jericho holds a 48.0% Working Interest.
- Drilling ahead and building the curve from vertical to lateral section.
Valkyrie (Operator: Staghorn Petroleum; Blaine County – Meramec formation)
- Jericho holds a 23.5% Working Interest.
- Drilling ahead and nearing total measured depth of approximately 13,500 feet
The company also has a small working interest in two additional Osage formation wells, Ula and Hilltop, operated by ExxonMobil and Alta Mesa Resources respectively. Jericho’s participation in these wells is primarily to gain a greater understanding of the underlying subsurface geology.
November 12th STACK drilling and completion update…
Here, the company reported progress on the drilling, completion, and flowback of their most recent Osage and Meramec wells:
The highlights from this news release are as follows…
Drilling Operations:
Trebuchet (Operator: Armor Energy; Major County – Osage formation):
- Jericho holds a 48.0% Working Interest.
- Drilling ahead in the lateral section – ~90% of the planned total measured depth.
- To date, the company has seen tremendous strides in the rate-of-penetration (“ROP”) on the Trebuchet relative to their first Osage formation well (the Swordpear) attributable primarily to an improved drilling-bit set-up and specific lateral geo-steering.
- The ROP in the lateral on the Trebuchet is approximately 1.6x-1.8x the Swordspear at the same measured depth putting downward pressure on total rig days for the well.
- The fracture stimulation of the well is expected to begin in late-November / early December.
Flowback Operations:
Valkyrie (Operator: Staghorn Petroleum; Blaine County – Meramec formation):
- Jericho holds a 23.5% Working Interest.
- 35 fracture stimulation stages successfully performed and currently in flowback.
- After only a few days on flowback, the company is extremely pleased with the resulting downhole pressures and total fluid flowback.
Brian Williamson, CEO of Jericho Oil, had this to say regarding these recent developments:
“The Company continues to deliver on its two-pronged strategy of delineating and de-risking our STACK acreage for the Meramec and Osage formations,” adding, “our second Meramec and Osage formation wells have given our team the added knowledge and confidence in our world-class acreage position. We continue to learn from each well and have put forth best practices on our Trebuchet well to decrease drilling costs in the lateral section. We are excited to provide further updates on the production of these wells by year-end.”
Though Jericho’s current focus is in de-risking and proving-up its 16,000 acres in the STACK, significant upside also exists within the company’s asset portfolio – some 40,000 acres – outside of the STACK. Their drill ready Osage Extension play in northeast Oklahoma is the only one example of a project with significant upside potential.
Final thoughts…
Equity Guru’s Chris Parry, during a recent conference call with the company, offered this take on the company, its assets, and development strategy. To paraphrase Chris…
‘Jericho has taken a MONEYBALL approach. They got in when everyone else was getting out. They got some nice assets on the cheap. They saved themselves the trouble and expense by purchasing assets that had already been explored and tapped into. They have competitors coming into the area and purchasing assets next door at significantly higher valuations to the prices they paid. They’re treating their money like it’s valuable. All of the above lowers the risk and sets up a nice growth play, even if the price of oil doesn’t cooperate.’
Nice summary. Accurate too.
With 128.7 million shares outstanding and a sub-fifty cent share price, Jericho has an extremely modest market-cap of $61M. This price weakness is unlikely to last.
The company could be on the verge of dramatic production growth. Newsflow should be strong going forward.
Ultimately, Jericho’s goal, via a systematic and methodical approach to development, is to build a world-class blue-chip energy company.
We stand to watch.
