Riverside Expands Pichette Gold Project Target, Progressing Discovery in NW Ontario

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 17, 2024) – Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) (“Riverside” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce it has expanded the targeting area at the Pichette Project 60 km west of Greenstone Gold’s open pit mining operations in Geraldton, Ontario. Riverside’s work with structural geology and geochemistry has progressed the targeting of two new areas. At Pichette, structural geologic intersections of favorable lithology particularly with banded iron formation (BIF) are key to hosting mineralization as was noted in the nearby, past-producing Leitch and Sand River mines, where operations produced at or above 2/3 ounce per ton gold commonly producing at over 1 oz Au per ton (OGS, OFR 5538).

Structures associated with banded iron formation units were well defined by the recent drone magnetic survey. Working with this data with field information, Riverside was able to locate and sample key new outcrops of mineralized banded iron formation believed to be the PAT veins which have been drilled in the past. Several samples were taken from the vein along a 50m exposed section that returned 1m chip samples of 13g/t and 21 g/t gold within banded iron formation units (see NR, February 29, 2024). Recent logging has exposed a lot of outcrops for examination which will hopefully allow the Company to locate some of the historic drill pads or collars.

“Riverside is progressing work in NW Ontario along the Geraldton-Beardmore Greenstone Gold Belt and continues to refine and improve the Company’s targeting for gold in the three main target environments similar to those at Greenstone Gold where open pit production is beginning this year and will be the 4th largest open pit gold producer in Canada of a scale similar to Detour Gold” states Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude.

The Pichette Project has excellent road access and infrastructure being located immediately south of the Trans-Canada Highway. The project is underlain by an east-west trending panel of Archean-aged metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks intruded by gabbros and porphyries. Metamorphism and tectonics have in most cases upgraded the tenor of gold mineralization in the belt between Beardmore and Geraldton. The Company analysis interprets the first phase of deformation resulted in folding of the Banded Iron Formations and north-south shortening of intrusions with most of the vein mineralization occurring during a second sinistral shearing event. These rocks were again subjected to a third dextral shearing event which resulted in some remobilization in metals.

F3 Intersects Radioactivity Across Multiple Zones

Uncovers Significant and Favorable Reverse Faulting at B1

Kelowna, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 16, 2024) – F3 Uranium Corp (TSV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) (“F3” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of the first 30 drill holes (totaling 12,100 meters) of its 2024 winter drill program. JR Zone has continued to yield high grade intercepts, such as PLN23-137 which intersected mineralization within a 18.5m interval including 1.25m of composite off-scale mineralization (>65,535 cps), while the Company’s focus has expanded to the discovery of additional mineralized zones along the A1 and B1 structures, with numerous radioactive intercepts along both shears, generating additional drill targets.

Ray Ashley, President, commented: “We are very pleased with the results from this winter’s drill program, and the number of new targets generated along both the A1 and B1 systems. The scale of reverse faulting in conjunction with related massive graphitic fault structures at B1 was unexpected and supports our theory that the majority of B1 drilling south of line 2850 may have been in the footwall of this fault, where intense alteration and frequent radioactive intercepts suggest the presence of a nearby source. At A1, considerable undrilled gaps remain open for exploration, such as the 800m gap where hole PLN24-140 was drilled, returning over 11,000 cps on the gamma probe within the shear. With a large-scale gravity survey underway, in addition to a joint inversion of ground EM and resistivity geophysics, we continue to develop new targets for the drill program slated to resume in May after a short pause for seasonal breakup.”

A1 Shear Zone

A1, which is host to the high-grade JR Zone, contains several significant undrilled sections: PLN24-140 was collared on line 2325S, within a 800m long area along the A1 with no previous drilling, and intersected up to 560 cps on the handheld spectrometer, and up to 11,000 cps on the QL40 GRA gamma probe. Prior to PLN24-140, gamma probe readings greater than 10,000 cps had not been encountered outside of the JR Zone, resulting in a priority target for the program resumption in May.

B1 Shear Zone

At B1, a total of nine drill holes targeted the intense alteration and structure intersected during the 2023 drill campaign, as these features often occur in close proximity to high grade uranium mineralization. Five drill holes intersected anomalous radiation over a total strike length of 600m. Drill hole PLN24-133 targeted an area near the northern end of the B1 shear zone where a significant change in Athabasca Sandstone depth was expected and encountered a basement wedge in excess of 120m downhole thickness within the sandstone exhibiting strong alteration and deformation (see Cross Section for line 2850S below). Figure 1 shows the lower structural Athabasca Unconformity at a depth of 291.2m, with significantly structurally disturbed sandstone beneath. An extremely graphitic structure was intersected within this wedge (see Figure 2), and in all follow up drilling on section and along strike. Drilling on line 2850S with PLN24-138 and PLN24-142 and step out drilling on line 2820S with PLN24-144 confirmed that the strike of this very significant offsetting reverse structure appears to be discordant to the B1 main shear, and likely related to the Harrison fault, a significant regional structure which played an important role in the development of the Athabasca basin.

This magnitude of displacement along wide and strongly graphitic basement faults is highly favorable, and structurally comparable to what is seen at some of the largest uranium deposits in the basin. This now provides a number of drill targets for high grade uranium mineralization including the unconformity contacts, as well as the basement “nose” at the terminus of the wedge within the sandstone, with a focus on where the A1 and B1 structures intercept this offsetting reverse fault.

Natural gamma radiation in the drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a handheld Radiation Solutions RS-125 scintillometer. The Company considers greater than 300 cps on the handheld spectrometer as anomalous, >10,000 cps as high grade and greater than 65,535 cps as off-scale. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials. Samples from the drill core are split in half on site and are standardized at 0.5m lengths. One half of the split sample will be submitted to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK. for lithogeochemical analysis using their “Uranium Package.”

All depth measurements reported are down-hole and true thicknesses are yet to be determined.

The Company contracted Patterson Geophysics Inc. (“Patterson“) to complete 65 line-km of fixed loop SQUID electromagnetic survey coverage (FL-SQUID-EM) over the B1 target area, to measure the induced electromagnetic (“EM“) fields associated with sandstone alteration effects as well as the response to dipping basement conductors. A trace of this conductor model projected to surface is shown on Map 1, and notably deviated in strike from the original B1 conductor model. The data collected by Patterson was used to target and successfully drill the large graphitic structure associated with the basement wedge intersected in PLN24-133.

Dias Geophysical Ltd. completed the 3D DC resistivity and induced polarization (DCIP) over the northern A1 area hosting the JR Zone, and the B1 area, using their DIAS32 system. F3 has engaged a contractor to process and perform 3D inversion modeling of resistivity and EM geophysical data jointly and in conjunction with all the drilling data to better resolve thin basement hosted conductors.

Initial Exploration Services Inc. has been contracted to conduct a ground gravity survey over the southwest section of the PLN and Broach properties. The survey is currently focusing on surveying the lakes and waterbodies using ice cover, with the remainder of the survey area to be infilled in late spring, and F3 aims to disclose those results once all the data has been collected and interpreted.

EMX Royalty Enters into Automatic Share Purchase Plan

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2024) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (FSE: 6E9) (the “Company” or “EMX“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP“) with its broker in order to facilitate repurchases of EMX’s common shares (the “Shares“) under the Company’s previously announced normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB“).

The Company previously announced that it had received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) to purchase up to 5,000,000 Shares for cancellation over a twelve-month period that commenced on February 13, 2024 and terminates no later than February 12, 2025. All purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSXV, NYSE American Stock Exchange (“NYSE American“), other designated exchanges and/or alternative Canadian trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by applicable securities laws. The price that EMX will pay for Shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase. Any Shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. Since the commencement of the NCIB on February 13, 2024, the Company has purchased 17,700 Shares on the TSXV and alternative Canadian trading systems at a weighted average price per Share of $2.62 for an aggregate value of approximately $46,000, and 58,302 Shares on the NYSE American and alternative U.S. trading systems at a weighted average price per Share of US$1.93 for an aggregate value of approximately US$112,000.

EMX believes that from time to time, the market price of its Shares may not reflect their underlying value and that the purchase of its Shares will enhance shareholder value and increase liquidity of the Shares. The Company intends to fund the purchases out of available cash. The ASPP will facilitate purchases under the NCIB as it will allow for purchases of Shares to be made at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to make purchases, whether due to regulatory restriction or customary self-imposed blackout periods.

Under the ASPP, the Company’s broker may purchase Shares from the effective date of the ASPP until the end of the NCIB. The ASPP will facilitate purchases of Shares under the NCIB by authorizing the Company’s broker to make purchases at its sole discretion based on parameters set by the Company in accordance with the rules of the TSXV and NYSE American, applicable law and the terms of the ASPP. Outside of periods that the Company is restricted from purchasing Shares pursuant to insider trading rules or its own internal trading blackout policies, Shares may also be purchased at the Company’s discretion, in compliance with the rules of the TSXV and NYSE American and applicable law.

All purchases of Shares made under the ASPP will be included in determining the number of Shares purchased under the NCIB. Any Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASPP will be cancelled. The Company is not currently in possession of any material undisclosed information in relation to the Company, the Shares or any of the Company’s other securities. The ASPP constitutes a “written automatic purchase plan” for purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and the ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSXV and will be effective on April 12, 2024.

The ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (a) the maximum purchase limit under the NCIB has been reached; (b) the NCIB expires; or (c) the ASPP otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms.

About EMX – EMX is a precious, and base metals royalty company. EMX’s investors are provided with discovery, development, and commodity price optionality, while limiting exposure to risks inherent to operating companies. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE American Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “EMX”. Please see www.EMXroyalty.com for more information.

Terra Balcanica Provides Exploration Activities Update on High Grade Silver and Gold Targets at Viogor-Zanik Project in Bosnia

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Terra Balcanica Resources Corp. (“Terra” or the “Company”) (CSE:TERA; FRA:UB1) is pleased to provide an update from the Phase I and II exploration drilling within its principal 168 km2 Viogor-Zanik project in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The Company completed approximately 2,200 m of drilling along a shallow, high grade, silver-dominated, intermediate sulfidation polymetallic Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Sb vein system at the locality known as Chumavichi (Figures 1 and 2). This semi-continuous, 7.2 km-long structural corridor associated with a low magnetic response was previously largely untested by drilling and hosts altered volcanic tuffs and breccias with occurrences of massive Pb, Zn and Fe sulphides.

At the Company’s second Viogor-Zanik target of Brezani (Figures 1 and 3), Terra discovered a surficial auriferous skarn superimposed on an Ag-Pb-Zn-Au mineralized, NE-shallowing structural system itself overlying porphyry andesites stock from 550 m of depth. The target is characterized by overlapping 1.2 km wide magnetic and EM anomalies with over 700 meters wide Au-Bi-Zn anomaly at surface and banded skarn outcrops with sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Similar geophysical signatures are detected at the 4.1 Moz Au Eq. Rogozna Au-Cu skarn project in SW Serbia. The Company completed approximately 1,200 m of diamond drilling at Brezani with additional assays to be released shortly.

Highlights

  • Maiden Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD001 intercepted 824.2 g/t AgEq. over 4.0 m from 29 m of depth, including 1,634.4 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters;
  • Chumavichi Ridge drill hole CMVDD002 intercepted 816.1 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 m;
  • CMVDD003, an 83-meter step-out from CMVDD001, intercepted a vein interval of 465.5 g/t AgEq. over 8.7 meters, including 1196.6 g/t AgEq. over 2.0 meters, and is open at depth;
  • The step out drillhole CMVDD005 returned 284 g/t AgEq over 10.0 m including 895.8 g/t AgEq over 2.0 m (see Figure 3) approximately 50 m west-northwest of CMVDD002;
  • The Chumavichi Ridge drillhole CMVDD004 along the same drill fence 40 m northeast of CMVDD005 returned 505.3 g/t AgEq over 11.0 m from 43.0 m depth including 3075.4 g/t AgEq (108.5 oz/t AgEq) over 1.7 m;
  • Shallow, polymetallic mineralization was also intersected 600 m NW of the discovery hole at the Cumavici Ridge where two drill holes through a new parallel structure returned 531 g/t AgEq over 0.75 m (CMV23007), and 355 g/t AgEq over 1.10 m (CMV23009);
  • The Phase II drillhole CMV23004 intersected 1,168 g/t AgEq over 1.35 m from 36.2 m downhole to add 42 m strike length SE of CMVDD002 with mineralization remaining open and untested down-dip (Figure 2);
  • Drillhole CMV23003 intersected 457 g/t AgEq over 4.15 m from 43.85 m downhole and points to a wider down-dip continuation of the high-grade mineralization from the previously reported CMV23004 (Figure 2);
  • Drill testing of the 650 m-wide, conductivity high at the centre a 1.2 km wide anomalously magnetic rock volume at Brezani intercepted 0.61 g/t AuEq over 88.0 m (BREDD002) and 0.58 g/t AuEq over 28.6 m (BREDD001). Continuation of this drillhole along same azimuth and dip to depth of 674 m has intercepted a substantial width of low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal mineralization and potassically altered, porphyritic andesites overprinted by chlorite from 550 m depth (Figure 3).


Figure 1 Geological map of the Viogor-Zanik project illustrating the drilled targets during the Phase II campaign. Cumavici is observed in the NW of the license package with the Brezani discovery 12 km to the SE. The operating Sase mine producing 350ktpa of Pb-Zn-Ag-Sb-Au concentrate is located 7 km east of Chumavichi (WGS84/UTM Zone 34N click here to view image).

Terra Balcanica CEO, Dr. Aleksandar Mišković, comments: “After a year of systematic targeting followed by approximately 3,400 m of diamond drilling over the last two years, we are proud to lay claims to two precious metal rich, polymetallic discoveries at an emerging European mining jurisdiction. Our systematic high grade silver intercepts from two of the five defined Chumavichi corridor targets are indications of its outstanding potential considering it is located only 7 km west of Mineco’s silver mine at Sase. Our recent discovery of similar polymetallic mineralization at Brezani adds further value to this multi-domain target. There, a significant mineralized intercept underlies the previously confirmed auriferous skarn starting from surface and overlies a porphyry system which Terra has been targeting at Viogor-Zanik from the very outset. We believe the potential of our discovery at Brezani is tremendous considering the shallowing of the epithermal mineralization along a presumed fault to northeast and stratigraphic intercept below the boiling horizon which will be targeted by our future drill programs. Collectively, this is a thrilling development for Terra as we aim to release assay results from additional five drill holes at Brezani and prepare for a continued definition of this massive magmatic-hydrothermal system in eastern Bosnia”


Figure 2. Fence diagram of Phase I and II drilling completed at the Cumavici Ridge target. Polymetallic mineralization intervals are highlighted in red. The mineralization remains untested and open down dip to the southwest and entirely open to the NW. The high-grade mineralization footprint currently sits at approximately 92 m (strike length) by 150 m in down dip direction (click here to view image).

Upcoming Results

Laboratory assays results from section of drill hole BREDD002 below 215 m depth (Figure 3) are pending QA/QC verification and will be released imminently. Additionally, four more diamond drill holes (BRE23001-004) between depths of 120 and 160 m that tested the surface gold bearing calc-silicates and magmatic breccias will be released in comings months.


Figure 3. Section through the Brezani target illustrating conductivity and the 95th percentile magnetic shell. Drillhole BREDD002 is shown, with a tabular conductivity feature extending to the ENE from the epithermal mineralized interval. Conductivity feature is interpreted as the continuation of the host structure with increased conductivity due to sulphide and clay within the broken rock mass. It passes through a break in the magnetics, which is further evidence of structural control (click here to view image).

Emperor Announces Final Results from 2023 Exploration Campaign and Strategic Insights for 2024 at the Duquesne West Gold Project

ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX – Toronto Stock Exchange, G1MN – Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz, LS Exchange, TTMzero, Düsseldorf and Quotrix Düsseldorf Stock Exchanges and GLBXF – OTCQX International in the US) reports that today Emperor Metals Inc. (“Emperor”) (CSE: AUOZ, OTCQB: EMAUF, FSE: 9NH), announced additional assay results and achievements from the 8,579 meter, 2023 drilling campaign at the Duquesne West Gold Project under option from Duparquet Assets Ltd., a 50% owned subsidiary of Globex Mining Enterprises Inc.

Emperor has reported the following in today’s press release:

“Emperor has been targeting a multi-million-ounce resource in a combination conceptual open pit and underground mining scenarios. This campaign, guided by the innovative application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, was strategically designed to achieve two major objectives:

  • Explore anticipated extensions of high-grade targets suitable for both underground and open-pit mining.
  • Identifying potential infill opportunities within a conceptual open-pit model. Historically, the potential for lower-grade, bulk tonnage contributory ounces was overlooked.

Highlights of Emperor’s 2023 Drilling Campaign:

  • Extensions of High-Grade Targets:Exploration drilling has successfully identified extensions of high-grade mineralization favorable to both underground and open pit mining methods, underscoring the robust potential of the project.
    • 10.8 m of 15.8 g/t Au (DQ23-05)
    • 11.7 m of 5.63 g/t Au (DQ23-01)
    • 13.2 m of 3.75 g/t Au (DQ23-09)
  • Opportunities in Conceptual Open Pit Model:Drilling and resampling has unveiled promising potential for the conceptual pit, previously classified as waste, that are now recognized for their potential to expand and improve the basic economics. Some notable thickness include:
    • 25.0 m of 1.69 g/t Au (DQ23-02)
    • 11.75 m of 0.61 g/t Au (DQ23-10)
    • 24.4 of 0.5 g/t Au (DQ23-05)
  • Expansion of Mineralization Footprint: A continuous trend of mineralization extending over 1.2 kilometers east of the conceptual open-pit model has been discovered, significantly expanding the overall footprint of mineralization at the project.
  • Fully Funded 2024 Drilling Program: Emperor is fully funded for a 5,000-meter drilling program set to commence in Q2 of 2024, building on the successes of the 2023 campaign.

Upcoming Drilling Season:

Emperor is fully funded for a 5,000-meter drilling program to begin in Q2 of 2024. These results will be used to refine their A.I. models which will aid in targeting in the 2024 drill season. Emperors strategy is focused on evaluation of increasing potential ounces for a later mineral resource update. Most of Emperor’s work in 2024 will be concentrated on the open pit concept; where they see potential to add ounces cost effectively by expanding the footprint and/or adding incremental ounces to the conceptual open pit.

Emperor is also sampling near-surface core from Globex’s historical core library that was not assayed. Up to 70% of this core has not been assayed. So far, over 3,000 meters have been sampled. This is a huge benefit to shareholders,   acquiring additional assays without drilling, saving capital while having no shareholder dilution.

Summary of Drill Results:

2023 Recent Drilling Results

Full results for DQ23-10 to DQ23-14 and unsampled historical core have been released from SGS Laboratories (see Image 1 and Table 1 intercept highlights). The strategy of diamond drillholes DQ23-10 to 14 and the assaying of historic unsampled intervals was to determine if the Phase 1 pit could be extended westward to connect smaller satellite pits and add incremental ounces in the previously unsampled host rock. Affirmation of both scenarios bolstered support for growth. Both the smaller Phase 1 and Ultimate Pit Conceptual Model contain mineralization in the host rock that surrounds the high-grade zones.

  • DQ23-10 intersects 11.75 meters (m) of 0.61 g/t Au
  • DQ23-14 intersected 5.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au.

Up to 70% of the core is un-assayed in Emperors conceptual open pit models. These lower grade, additional bulk tonnage ounces within the open-pit conceptual model are very significant for reducing strip ratio and improving overall economics in a combination open-pit and under-ground mining scenario.

Historic Core Sampling
Historic drill core sampling was confined to the potential Phase 1, Open Pit areas where intervals within previous obtained drill-core were not sampled (see Image 1 and Table 1). This was the best strategic option for evaluation in the inaugural drill program.

Drillholes DQ10-11 and DQ11-22 revealed the potential to add incremental ounces to the main portion of the Phase 1, pit shell with intersections of 8.0 m of 1.9 g/t Au and 6.0 m of 0.76 g/t Au this is expected to extend the footprint of mineralization and add additional lower grade incremental ounces to the high-grade zones in the Phase 1, Open Pit.
Outside the main area of the Phase 1, Open Pit, mineralization extends 1.7 km eastward to what previous workers called the Nip Zone. The combination of several factors gives significant exploration potential for expanding the pit:

  • Drillholes 2DQ06-17 and DQ06-18 which are 1.7 km from the main Phase 1, Open Pit area contain unsampled mineralization (see table 1) where higher grade gold exists in historical core. In addition to these incremental ounces, both these drill-holes have near surface, higher grade intercepts. 2DQ06-17 had an interval of 4.6 m of 2.56 g/t Au and 2DQ06-18 had an interval of 2.5 m of 51.9 g/t Au.
  • There is very limited drilling between the main Phase 1 Open Pit and the eastern portion of property (Nip Zone), which creates significant opportunity.
  • Multiple high-grade near surface hits with reasonable thickness in historic drillholes along this trend; such as 2DQ10-17 of 16.0 m of 3.2 g/t Au.

The open pit concept in Image 1B shows an ultimate pit with a depth extent of 400 meters; the footprint is 1.8 km by 0.8 km. Sampling unsampled historic core in 2024 will strategically focus on the area of the conceptual open pit design. This will allow us to determine the potential economics as we progress through the phases having the necessary assay results for resource evaluation and eventually for economic evaluations.

In General, mineralization is within and proximal to a fertile, gold endowed, quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusion (QFP), which appears to enrich the greenstone belt along this structural corridor that hosts the Duquesne West Gold Deposit.  Apophyses of this intrusion are more endowed and are close to the most highly replacement type mineralization. Competency contrasts between rock types within this mineralized corridor are good sites for additional mineralization.

High and low-grade mineralization are important in Open Pit Mining:

  1. Highest grade intercepts are within mafic (+/- ultramafic) breccia zone carapaces mantling the QFPs or highly deformed replacement style structural zones (in the mafic volcanics) that are highly strained and completely replaced by ankerite, sericite, and quartz.
  2. The broadest low-grade zones are located within the QFPs.
  3. Some lower-grade broad zones mantle higher-grade intercepts in the mafic volcanics.  This usually occurs at the margin between mafic volcanics and QFP (low grade in both units surrounding a high-grade intercept.)

This mineralizing system is significantly large in length, width and depth. These broad zones will aid in lowering strip ratios when Emperor has enough data to support a new resource estimate for both open pit and underground conceptual mining scenarios.

Samples were sent to SGS Laboratories in Lakefield, ON.

About the Duquesne West Gold Project

The Duquesne West Gold Property is located 32 km northwest of the city of Rouyn-Noranda and 10 km east of the town of Duparquet. The property lies within the historic Duparquet gold mining camp in the southern portion of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in the Superior Province.

Under an Option Agreement, Emperor agreed to acquire a one hundred percent (100%) interest in a mineral claim package comprising 38 claims covering approximately 1,389 ha, located in the Duparquet Township of Quebec (the “Duquesne West Property”) from Duparquet Assets Ltd., a 50% owned subsidiary of Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. For further information on the Duquesne option please see Globex’s press release dated October 12, 2022.

The Property hosts a historical inferred mineral resource estimate of 727,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 5.42 g/t Au.1,2 The mineral resource estimate predates modern CIM guidelines and a Qualified Person on behalf of Emperor has not reviewed or verified the mineral resource estimate, therefore it is considered historical in nature and is reported solely to provide an indication of the magnitude of mineralization that could be present on the property. The gold system remains open for resource identification and expansion.

Reinterpretation of the existing geological model was created using Artificial Intelligence (A.I) and Machine Learning. This model shows the opportunity for additional discovery of ounces by revealing gold trends unknown to previous workers and the potential to expand the resource along significant gold-endowed structural zones.
Multiple scenarios exist to expand additional resources which include:

  1. Underground High-Grade Gold
  2. Open Pit Bulk Tonnage Gold
  3. Underground Bulk Tonnage Gold.

Watts, Griffis, and McOuat Consulting Geologists and Engineers, Oct 20, 2011, Technical Report and Mineral Resource Estimate Update for the Duquesne-Ottoman Property, Quebec, Canada for XMet Inc.

Power-Fardy and Breede, 2011. The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) constructed in 2011 is considered historical in nature as it was constructed prior to the most recent Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (CIM) standards (2014) and guidelines (2019) for mineral resources. In addition, the economic factors used to demonstrate reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction for the MRE have changed since 2011. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to consider the MRE as a current MRE. Emperor is not treating the historical MRE as a current mineral resource. The reader is cautioned not to treat it, or any part of it, as a current mineral resource.

Bob Moriarty – War, Gold, Sanity, Buying Opportunities

Joining us for a conversation is the legendary Bob Moriarty of 321gold and 321energy. In this interview will cover the following topics: We begin our discussion by pointing out that the Dow, Bitcoin, and Gold are having all-time high’s at the same-time. We then dig deeper into what is causing the gold price to surge. Are Central Banks propping up Bitcoin as a distraction to high gold price? Are we on the brink of World War III? Is the conflict in Israel and Hamas going to extend beyond the boarders of Israel and bring in the United States and Iran? Is China going to release a financial stimulus package? Are Russia and China behind the recent spike in the gold price? What happened on March 11th in the United States that know one is talking about? What precious metals is Bob buying right now? Are Uranium and Zinc overbought? Why Resource Stocks finally out of capitulation? What companies is Bob buying right now! What is going on with the Platinum to Palladium ratio? And that is the just the first half of this fantastic interview!
