Michael Rowley, President and CEO, commented, “We are excited to be targeting bulk-tonnage deposits of battery-grade nickel sulphide – enriched in other important metals such as palladium, platinum, rhodium, gold, copper, and cobalt – at Stillwater West. Through the application of deposit models from South Africa’s Platreef mines, which are among the largest and most profitable nickel-copper-PGE mines in the world, we have demonstrated potential for both scale and grade of these commodities in a prolific US mining district that hosts three world-class mines and a smelter. Battery-grade nickel is one of the primary value drivers at Stillwater West and it is one of only a few projects in North America that may be able to help meet the shortfalls projected by analysts and EV industry leaders such as Tesla’s Elon Musk for environmentally responsible production of battery grade metals. In addition, our polymetallic commodity basket includes platinum necessary to meet increasing demand from hydrogen fuel cells, along with palladium and rhodium for use in catalytic convertors.”

“The drilling that took place in 2017 and 2018 confirmed the widespread nature of the surface cropping disseminated gold mineralization throughout the Cerro de Oro project area.  Mineralization was present in almost every hole beginning from near surface and remaining open for additional testing at depth.” Stated Darren Koningen, CEO.  “As the Company works toward completion of an initial NI43-101 resource estimate we are seeing two well defined zones that are already the subject of early scoping and engineering work being conducted internally by our team.  We look forward to the results of this preliminary work which will serve as the basis for permit application submittals in the coming months.”

Rob Humphryson, Novo’s CEO and a director, commented, “I have known Mr. Mardon for over 30 years and have followed his successes with interest. We look forward to benefitting from his operational experience in the gold industry, with the added advantage of having hands-on operational experience with mechanical sorting technology. Mr. Woodland has extensive mining experience and his exposure to mining paleo-channels and alluvials in the past will stand us in good stead as we develop the flat lying conglomerates at Beatons Creek. Importantly, both Chris and Brad fit the Novo culture – they are the right personality type and are proving themselves to be knowledgeable, hard-working, and innovative people who are well suited to the unique challenges that will inevitably arise as we progress this unique style of deposit towards production.”

Russell Ball, Chief Executive Officer of Calibre stated: “With roughly 10% of the expected assays in hand, I am encouraged with the numerous opportunities in front of us.  The drilling program has ramped up nicely and we expect to be drilling approximately 12,000 metres a month for the balance of the year.
