JAYANT BHANDARI – India: Hawala Trade

India is imposing a 20% refundable tax on foreign expenses made in INR. While this money will theoretically be refunded in the following tax assessment, you will lose value because of high inflation. Moreover, most people will not claim this money, for they fear audits and harassment by rapacious tax officers. This fear has been a boon for Hawala transactions, which have drained the US dollar from the streets of India. Here are my thoughts:

India is imposing a 20% refundable tax on foreign expenses made in INR. While this money will theoretically be refunded in the following tax assessment, you will lose value because of high inflation. Moreover, most people will not claim this money, for they fear audits and harassment by rapacious tax officers. This fear has been a boon for Hawala transactions, which have drained the US dollar from the streets of India. Here are my thoughts:

As time has passed, corruption has become more blatant in India, and fanaticism is rapidly increasing. Previously, the US used to hold a higher moral ground. However, today, being woke and expedient, it hosts those it once used to ban from entry. Here are my thoughts on Modi’s recent visit to the US:

On Investments

I recently had a conversation with Maurice Jackson about why most people make a horrendous mistake by conflating resource companies with the underlying commodities they represent. We also discussed several coal companies:

Here are some more companies that have my attention:

  • Irving Resources (IRV; C$0.72): IRV has three drill rigs, with one operating 24 hours a day at the Omu project in Hokkaido. They have over $7 million in cash. Newmont is increasing its ownership in IRV by financing it at C$1.03 per share, a significant premium to the current share price.
  • Maritime Resources (MAE; C$0.04): They are buying the Point Rousee project from Signal Gold. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they bid for the now-defunct Rambler Mines. MAE can create good value if they do this combination right. To protect my downside, I wouldn’t buy it for more than C$0.04.
  • Rockcliff Metals (RCLF; C$0.035): RCLF is being acquired by Hudbay. At C$0.035, there would be a 19% arbitrage upside.
  • Nameson Holdings (HK:1982; HK$0.47): Nameson is a small knitwear manufacturing company catering to some of the top international brands. My clients and I have been invested in it for several years. The dividend yield is >10%. I expect the next dividend to be much higher.

The next Capitalism & Morality will be held on the 9th of September 2023. If this philosophy seminar interests you, please use the following coupon code to get a 10% discount rate: 1984. The ticket price will go up next week.

Lion One: Tuvatu Gold Mine Construction Is 75% Complete

North Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – June 28, 2023) – Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (ASX: LLO) (“Lion One” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on construction progress at its 100% owned Tuvatu Alkaline Gold Project in Fiji.

Highlights:

  • Mine construction is approximately 75% complete.
  • Earthworks and concrete works are substantially complete, structural steel is 70% complete.
  • The project is fully funded and on track for delivery of first gold in Q4 CY 2023.

Mine construction is approximately 75% complete and remains on track for delivery of first gold in Q4 2023. Earthworks and concrete works are substantially complete, with over 3,500 m3 of concrete poured to date. Structural steel is 70% complete and is progressing rapidly. All the components required to commission the processing plant are on site and a team of 350 contractors and employees are working together to bring the project towards completion. Once complete, Lion One plans to operate the processing plant at an initial production capacity of 300 tonnes per day for the first 18 months of operations before increasing the capacity to 500 tonnes per day in mid-2025. Lion One is fully funded to complete mine construction and bring the Tuvatu Alkaline Gold Project into production by the end of the year.

Videos of construction progress can be viewed on the company’s website (www.liononemetals.com). A summary of construction items that are in progress or complete is shown in Table 1 below.

Site Infrastructure

A large portion of the site infrastructure is complete, including the site office, the mine changeroom, the mine workshop, the fresh water supply system, the sewage treatment plant and the waste rock crusher and screener, all of which are commissioned and in use. The construction of the power plant, which consists of six 800 KW generators and one 1,500 KW generator for a total 6.3 MW, is in progress.

Crushing and Conveying

The Lion One processing plant will treat material using a two-stage crushing process, with a primary jaw crusher and a secondary cone crusher. A system of three conveyor belts will transport material between the two crushers and on to the processing plant. The jaw crusher, cone crusher, conveyor belt 1 and conveyor belt 2 are all in place while conveyor belt 3 has been fabricated and needs to be lifted into place. Piping and electrical work remains to be completed. The ROM pad has also been constructed and is in use, with minor upgrades remaining to be completed.

Grinding, Concentrating, Leaching and Recovery

Material from the crushing process will be fed to a two-stage grinding circuit, followed by an integrated two-stage gravity concentration circuit. Some concentrates will then be treated by an intensive cyanide leaching reactor and the remainder of the concentrates will be leached using conventional cyanide Carbon in Leach (CIL) technology. Gold will be recovered from the gold laden carbon using conventional absorption desorption recovery (ADR) technology and smelted on site to produce gold doré bars. Construction is advancing rapidly on the grinding, concentrating, and leaching circuits, as well as on the necessary supporting infrastructure such as warehouses and workshops. Ball Mills 1 and 2 are in place, the leaching tanks are in place, and Reagent Warehouse 1 is nearing completion. All other components of the processing plant are in progress at varying levels of completion. Electrical and piping work remains to be completed.

Tailings Storage Facility (TSF)

Tailings from the processing plant will be treated using the SO2/air process to remove any residual cyanide and will be filtered to produce filtered tailings which will then be transported to the TSF for storage. Stage 1 of the TSF will consist of a dam with a finish level at 115 m elevation, and a pond with enough capacity for 18 months of operation. The tailings dam has currently been built to an elevation of 107 m. TSF construction has been ongoing since June 2022 and the TSF is anticipated to be in operation in Q4 of 2023. Other components of the TSF, such as diversion channels, dam spillway, and liner installation are advancing simultaneously.

Underground Developments

Underground mining of the URA1 , URW1a and URW1b lodes is ongoing. The main decline has reached a vertical depth of 99.4 m below surface and a total length of 344 m from the mine portal. The link drive connecting the main decline to the historical exploration decline has been completed and measures 140 m from the junction with the main decline to the junction with the historical exploration decline. The link decline was driven from the main decline to the exploration decline and broke through the exploration decline on June 21st, 2023.

The completion of the link drive is a major milestone in the development of the mine as it enables the Stage 1 primary ventilation system to be installed. The Stage 1 primary ventilation system consists of four 55KW exhaust fans that are being installed at the entrance to the historical exploration decline, and which will provide ventilation throughout the mine. The Stage 1 primary ventilation system will provide sufficient ventilation to mine all the way down to the 500 zone, which is part of the high-grade feeder zone underlying Tuvatu and which comprises a major component of the mine plan. The completion of the link drive also enables mineralized lodes to be mined both from the historical exploration decline as well as from the main decline, thereby increasing the number of faces available to mine and adding considerable flexibility to the mining operations.

In addition to the link drive and ventilation system, a high voltage power plant and an underground compressor are also being installed to support underground mining operations.

Grizzly Provides Exploration Update and Future 2023 Plans for Its Greenwood, BC Precious and Battery Metals Project

Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – June 23, 2023) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (FSE: G6H) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (“Grizzly” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that crews have started to mobilize back to the Rock Creek camp to commence work within the Greenwood Precious and Battery Metals Project.

Geological and prospecting crews have mobilized to the Greenwood Project to commence summer field work. Prospecting, rock and soil sampling, geological mapping, and ground geophysical surveys are immediately planned for the Midway and Imperial areas in preparation for drilling later this year. The Company is awaiting land use permits for conducting drilling and trenching at both projects as well as a number of other areas including Sappho and Copper Mountain.

The geological crew has and will be collecting a number of samples for assay. The samples will be submitted for assay and results will be reported when they become available.

The goal is to have a pipeline of high priority Ag-Au and battery metal targets that are all permitted and ready for a long 2023 drilling campaign in order to prioritize these assets into those that can deliver future mineral resources with additional drilling, eventually leading to some form of economic studies and scenarios that might be able to take advantage of local toll treating opportunities that exist in the Greenwood – Republic region.

2023 Exploration Update for Greenwood

  • Additional drilling is warranted in 2023 at both the Dayton and Motherlode North target areas in order to follow-up the anomalous results of the 2022 drilling program. In addition, there are other targets at Motherlode North in the vicinity of the Motherlode Pit, the Greyhound Pit and the Great Hopes crown grant that have yet be drill tested.
  • Drilling and trenching permit applications have been submitted for the 2023 season for the Midway, Sappho, Copper Mountain and Imperial targets.
  • Additional permit applications for drilling at the Crown Point and the Overlander-Mt Attwood areas are in preparation and will be submitted in the near future.
  • The Midway area is being targeted for copper-gold skarn and epithermal gold-silver. The Overlander area is being targeted for mesothermal to epithermal gold-silver.
  • At Midway, selective rock grab and composite rock grab samples from outcrop collected from the Midway Mine-Picturestone area, with 4 of 7 rock grab samples from outcropping mineralization in the Midway Mine historical pit yielded a range of 12.05 g/t (or 0.351 ounces per ton [oz/t]) Au up to 70.8 g/t (2.065 oz/t) Au (See Company news release dated October17, 2022).
  • Three (3) of the 7 selective rock grab samples from the Midway Mine pits yielded from 1,360 g/t Ag (39.7 oz/t Ag) up to 2,140 g/T Ag (62.4 oz/t Ag) (see the Company news release dated October 17, 2022).
  • All highly anomalous samples are from outcrop and characterized by the presence of abundant pyrite, arsenopyrite with visible galena and sphalerite in a siliceous chalcedonic host. The mineralization is hosted in polymetallic veins that display the presence of Pb, Zn, Cu, arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) and are likely epithermal in nature.
  • A selective rock grab sample from outcrop 200 m west of the main Midway Mine yielded 15.85 g/t Au (0.462 oz/t Au) and 1,530 g/T Ag (44.6 oz/t Ag), illustrating that there is potential for additional high-grade mineralization in the area.
  • The Sappho area is being targeted for copper-gold-PGEs skarn and porphyry type targets associated with an alkalic intrusion and several diorite intrusions south of Greenwood near the US border.
  • At least five new showings of copper oxide/sulphide mineralization were found during the 2022 program at the Sappho Target.
  • Previous surface sampling and drilling by Grizzly at the Sappho area has yielded significant anomalous copper, gold, silver along with platinum and palladium.
  • Numerous rock grab samples have yielded greater than 1% copper, 1 g/t gold, 1 g/t platinum and 1 g/t palladium (see Company news release dated November 3, 2022).
  • Historical drilling (by the Company) has yielded up to 0.31% Cu, 0.75 g/t Au, 0.34 g/t Pt, 0.39 g/t Pd and 6.57 g/t Ag over 6.5 m core length in skarn at Sappho in 2010.

Quality Assurance and Control

Rock and soil samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Rock grab and rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Michael B. Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples.

The technical content of this news release and the Company’s technical disclosure has been reviewed and approved by Michael B. Dufresne, M. Sc., P. Geol., P.Geo., who is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Director Resigns

Mr. V. Richard Rabbito has resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors. The 500,000 compensation stock options granted to Mr. Rabbito per the Company’s news release dated May 29, 2023 have been cancelled unexercised.

Collective Mining Drills 792.25 Metres at 1.71 g/t Gold Equivalent from Surface for the Largest Grade Accumulation Intercepted to Date at the Apollo Porphyry System

  • Step-out hole APC-55 was drilled from Pad 6 to the northeast and intercepted continuous gold-silver-copper mineralization from surface over a significant core length as follows:
  • APC-55 returned 1,356 g/t gold equivalent on a grams X metres basis, which represents the largest grade accumulation drilled to date into the Apollo porphyry system.
  • APC-55 has extended the strike length of the Apollo system to the northeast with maximum known dimensions now measuring 455 metres by 395 metres by 915 metres.
  • Hole APC-49 was drilled from Pad 6 to the northwest and intersected continuous gold-silver-copper mineralization from surface over a significant core length as follows:
  • APC-49, which was drilled to depth in an area with no prior drilling, demonstrated excellent continuity of mineralization over its entire core length. The hole was terminated in mineralization due to a drilling related issue with the final 15.85 metres averaging 0.52 g/t gold equivalent.
  • Four rigs are now operating at the project with nine holes currently in the lab for analysis. Additional assay results are expected in the near term.

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: “The Apollo system continues to deliver unusually high-grade intercepts for a porphyry deposit over significant core lengths with today’s results being two of the longest holes ever drilled by the Company. I am most pleased that mineralization in both holes began directly from surface and the size of the Apollo system was once again expanded as a result of APC-55. I am excited about the prospect of what the Guayabales project will deliver in the second half of 2023 as we embark on the aggressive growth phase of our 2023 drilling program where expansion of the Apollo porphyry system and making a new discovery are our top priorities.”

TORONTO, June 27, 2023 /CNW/ – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from two drill holes designed to test depth extensions and high-grade mineralization within the Apollo porphyry system (“Apollo”) at the Guayabales project located in Caldas, Colombia. Apollo is a high-grade, bulk tonnage copper-silver-gold system, which owes its excellent metal endowment to an older copper-silver and gold porphyry system being overprinted by younger precious metal rich, carbonate base metal vein systems (intermediate sulphidation porphyry veins) within a magmatic, hydrothermal inter-mineral breccia and diorite porphyry bodies currently measuring 455 metres x 395 metres x 915 metres and open for expansion.

To watch a short video of David Reading, Special Advisor to Collective Mining, speak about the assay results announced today, please click here.

Details (See Table 1 and Figures 1-3)

The 2023 Phase II drilling program is advancing on schedule with 24 holes completed and results announced with an additional nine holes awaiting assay results from the lab. The objectives of the 2023 program are to define high-grade mineralization, the dimensions of the Apollo porphyry system near surface, expand the size of the system through step-out and directional drilling and drill test multiple new targets generated through grassroots exploration. Since the announcement of the discovery hole at Apollo in June 2022, a total of 55 drill holes (approximately 23,907 metres) has been completed and assayed.

This press release outlines results from two, long step out holes. APC-49 and APC-55 were drilled to test high grade, shallow mineralization, and depth extensions in previously undrilled areas. Both holes were drilled from Pad 6 with APC-49 directed steeply to the northwest and APC-55 drilled to the northeast. Results for these holes are summarized below:

APC-49 was drilled steeply to the northwest from Pad 6 to a maximum downhole depth of 852.90 metres (908 metres vertical due to topography). The hole was designed to test the northwestward continuity of the deposit at depth. The hole intercepted saprolite and oxidized sulphide material (transition zone) from 5.7 metres downhole until 28.6 metres. Below this the hole passed into fresh rock consisting of angular breccia with a sulphide cement matrix containing chalcopyrite (up to 0.8 %), pyrite (up to 1.2%) and 0.8% pyrrhotite and some areas of mineralized porphyry (without breccia). Various sheeted carbonate base metal veins (“CBM”) and veinlet zones associated with higher grade gold, which overprint and flood the matrix hosting the earlier breccia-porphyry mineralization, were observed and contain carbonate associated with sphalerite and galena. The hole bottomed in mineralization due to drilling problems with the last 15.85 metres from 837.1 metres downhole returning 0.52 g/t gold equivalent. Complete assay results for the hole are summarized in Table 1 with highlights as follows:

  • 847.25 metres @ 1.09 g/t gold equivalent from 5.65 metres (consisting of 0.64 g/t gold, 16 g/t silver and 0.14% copper) including:

Importantly, APC-49 confirms that the system remains wide open at depth in the northwest area of the deposit and future directional drilling will look to expand the system and tighten up drill spacing.

APC-55 was drilled to the northeast from Pad 6 and was designed to test for an extension of shallow high-grade mineralization to depth within the northeast portion of the Apollo system. The hole was drilled to a maximum downhole depth of 909.45 metres (855 metres vertical) with mineralization beginning at surface. The hole intercepted saprolite and oxidized sulphide material (transition zone) from surface until 48.80 metres down hole. Below this depth, the hole passed into fresh rock consisting of angular breccia with a sulphide cement matrix containing chalcopyrite (up to 1.0 %), pyrite (up to 2.0%) and pyrrhotite (up to 1.2%) with some interfingering areas of mineralized porphyry (without breccia). Four sheeted CBM vein and veinlet zones at 184.7 metres, 364.2 metres, 431.8 metres and 591.5 metres downhole were observed with vein sulphides (sphalerite and galena) overprinting the earlier porphyry mineralization in the breccia matrix. Complete assay results for the hole are summarized in Table 1 with highlights as follows:

  • 792.25 metres @ 1.71 g/t gold equivalent from surface (consisting of 0.88 g/t gold, 39 g/t silver and 0.18% copper) including:

APC-55 returned 1,356 g/t gold equivalent on a grams X metres basis, which represents the largest grade accumulation drilled to date into the Apollo porphyry system. APC-55 has also extended the strike length of the mineralized system to the northeast with maximum know overall dimensions now measuring 455 metres by 395 metres by 915 metres. The multiple north-west and east-west trending CBM vein systems intersected along the hole at both shallow and deeper elevations highlight an excellent opportunity for high grade mineralization to be found over significant vertical dimensions.

Apollo Drill Program Outline and Assay Update

Nine additional holes have been completed at the Apollo system with assay results expected in the near term with all holes except one intersecting bulk tonnage mineralization over significant core lengths.

With four diamond drill rigs now operating at site, the Company is focused on:

  1. Expanding the Apollo porphyry system and the recently discovered high-grade Contact Zone
  2. Stepping-out along the newly discovered high-grade Vein Zone situated above the Apollo porphyry system along a northwest to southeast corridor (where it does not come to surface)
  3. Testing the six newly generated targets surrounding the Apollo porphyry system
  4. Testing a new porphyry target named Plutus, which is located approximately one kilometre east of Apollo. Further details on Plutus will be announced shortly once all surface geochemistry assay results have been delivered, verified, and compiled.

The Apollo target area, as defined to date by surface mapping, rock sampling and copper and molybdenum soil geochemistry covers a 1,000 metres X 1,200 metres area and represents a large and unusually high-grade Cu-Ag-Au porphyry system. Mineralization styles include early-stage porphyry veins, inter-mineral breccia mineralization and multiple zones of porphyry related late stage, sheeted, carbonate-base metal veins with high gold and silver grades. The Apollo target area is still expanding as the Company’s geologists have found multiple additional outcrop areas with porphyry veining, breccia, and late stage, sheeted, carbonate base metal veins.

Stillwater Critical Minerals Announces 9.99% Strategic Investment by Glencore

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 23, 2023 / Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (TSXV:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF) (the “Company” or “Stillwater”) announced today that it has executed a definitive agreement for a strategic equity investment by Glencore Canada Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glencore plc (“Glencore”) in the form of a non-brokered private placement financing (the “Placement) for exploration and development activities at the Company’s North American nickel projects, as well as for working capital and general and administrative expenses.

Pursuant to the Placement, Glencore has agreed to purchase 19,758,861 units of Stillwater at a price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $4.94 million, with each unit comprising one common share and 0.70 of a common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant shall entitle Glencore to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.375, providing up to approximately $5.2 million additional funding, if exercised in full. The warrants shall be exercisable for three years from the date of issue and contain a customary acceleration provision, which shall be effective if the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the TSX-V is greater than $0.5625 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days.

Following closing of the investment, Glencore will have ownership and control of 9.99% of the outstanding common shares of Stillwater on a non-diluted basis and, including the warrants, 15.87% of the outstanding common shares on a partially diluted basis. Glencore does not currently own or control any securities of the Company.

Stillwater Critical Minerals President and CEO, Michael Rowley, stated, “We are very pleased to welcome Glencore, one of the top five largest mining companies in the world, as a major investor. This represents a major step forward for Stillwater as we advance our flagship Stillwater West project with the vision of becoming a large-scale source of battery and precious minerals that are now listed as critical in the US, and elsewhere. There are very few projects globally, and especially located within the United States, that offer the combination of grade and scale in a producing district that we see at Stillwater West. We are now booking drills and crews for our 2023 drill campaign with a focus on expansion of the high-grade nickel-copper sulphides identified in our past campaigns. We look forward to announcing further details in the coming weeks, along with the start of drilling.”

About Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp.

Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE | OTCQB: PGEZF) is a mineral exploration company focused on its flagship Stillwater West Ni-PGE-Cu-Co + Au project in the iconic and famously productive Stillwater mining district in Montana, USA. With the addition of two renowned Bushveld and Platreef geologists to the team, the Company is well positioned to advance the next phase of large-scale critical mineral supply from this world-class American district, building on past production of nickel, copper, and chromium, and the on-going production of platinum group and other metals by neighboring Sibanye-Stillwater. An expanded NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate, released January 2023, delineates a compelling suite of critical minerals contained within five Platreef-style nickel and copper sulphide deposits at Stillwater West, which host a total of 1.6 billion pounds of nickel, copper and cobalt, and 3.8 million ounces of palladium, platinum, rhodium, and gold, and remains open for expansion along trend and at depth.

Stillwater Critical Minerals also holds the high-grade Black Lake-Drayton Gold project adjacent to Treasury Metals’ development-stage Goliath Gold Complex in northwest Ontario, currently under an earn-in agreement with Heritage Mining, and the Kluane PGE-Ni-Cu-Co critical minerals project on trend with Nickel Creek Platinum‘s Wellgreen deposit in Canada‘s Yukon Territory.

The Company’s address is 904, 409 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 1T2.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release includes certain statements that may be deemed “forward-looking statements”. All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization, historic production, estimation of mineral resources, the realization of mineral resource estimates, interpretation of prior exploration and potential exploration results, the timing and success of exploration activities generally, the timing and results of future resource estimates, permitting time lines, metal prices and currency exchange rates, availability of capital, government regulation of exploration operations, environmental risks, reclamation, title, and future plans and objectives of the company are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. Although Stillwater believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include failure to obtain necessary approvals, unsuccessful exploration results, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, results of future resource estimates, future metal prices, availability of capital and financing on acceptable terms, general economic, market or business conditions, risks associated with regulatory changes, defects in title, availability of personnel, materials and equipment on a timely basis, accidents or equipment breakdowns, uninsured risks, delays in receiving government approvals, unanticipated environmental impacts on operations and costs to remedy same, and other exploration or other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the companies with securities regulators. Readers are cautioned that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral exploration and development of mines is an inherently risky business. Accordingly, the actual events may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. For more information on Stillwater and the risks and challenges of their businesses, investors should review their annual filings that are available at www.sedar.com.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
