Cortadera’s North Flank Delivers Again – 610m at 0.5% CuEq

Hot Chili Limited (ASX: HCH) (OTCQB: HHLKF) (“Hot Chili” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that recent drill results from its Cortadera copper-gold discovery in Chile continue to demonstrate strong resource growth.

Hot Chili’s Resource Development Manager Kirsty Sheerin said the expansion of the main porphyry was very pleasing ahead of the Company’s plans to up-grade the maiden 451Mt Cortadera resource.

“We have added approximately 170m of width to Cuerpo 3 and hope to extend several other open flanks to the high grade core by year-end.

“The next resource upgrade at Cortadera will provide a strong basis for the first combined open pit and block cave mining reserve estimate at our growing Costa Fuego copper-gold development.”

Highlights:

  • Hot Chili has recorded another strong extensional result at the Cortadera copper-gold porphyry discovery in Chile, further expanding the high grade resource (+0.7% CuEq) across the northern flank (North Flank) of the main porphyry (Cuerpo 3)
  • CRP0134D returned an extensive intersection of 610m grading 0.5% CuEq (0.4% copper (Cu), 0.1g/t gold (Au)) from 216m depth down-hole, including 138m grading 0.8% CuEq (0.6% Cu, 0.1g/t Au) from 634m depth
  • Results from CRP0134D and those recently reported from CRP0124D (362m grading 0.6% CuEq, including 82m grading 1.0% CuEq) have extended the North Flank by approximately 170m
  • The Northern Flank of Cuerpo 3 remains open with another 80m step-out diamond drill hole underway (CRP0155D, currently at 490m depth and in mineralisation)
  • Results pending for five drill holes from Cuerpo 2 which have visually recorded wide intersections of mineralisation from surface
  • Three drill rigs in operation, 4,946m of assay results pending from 20 drill holes, assay turnaround currently 44 days

Beyond the Official Narrative

Riverside Resources

My western friends would leave me if I were openly crooked. There are no such consequences in India. “Friends” in India would respect you for your crookedness if you can get away with it. And there is no social opprobrium. No wonder crookedness grows like a weed in India. Here is a conversation with Richard Kary:

On Investments

In the past, I have followed and written about Riverside Resources (RRI; C$0.135) and its CEO, John-Mark Staude. RRI is a project generation company and a very innovative one. They have several projects in Mexico, the USA, and Canada. They have C$5 million in cash and equities, making their enterprise value C$5 million, rather low for a company that has an interesting agreement with BHP, which will fund US$6.5 million in drilling two projects and generative work over the next year. RRI gets to charge a 10% fee on the expenses made, which enables it to sometimes reduce its corporate cash burn to zero. While BHP funds the projects, RRI gets to keep at least 20% ownership—100% if BHP decides not to pursue any project.

A major investor recently liquidated his position in RRI, the reason why it has fallen a lot. That is my opportunity to add to my position.

Vox Provides Exploration Updates From Operating Partners

TORONTO, Sept. 28, 2021 /CNW/ – Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX) (OTCQX: VOXCF) (“Vox” or the “Company“), a high growth precious metals focused royalty company, is pleased to provide recent development and exploration updates from royalty operating partners Gold Standard Ventures (TSX: GSV) (“Gold Standard Ventures“), Genesis Minerals Limited (ASX: GMD) (“Genesis“), Metalicity Limited (ASX: MCT) (“Metalicity“), Black Cat Syndicate Limited (ASX: BC8) (“Black Cat“) and Norwest Minerals Limited (ASX: NWM) (“Norwest“).

Vox Royalty Logo (CNW Group/Vox Royalty Corp.)
Vox Royalty Logo (CNW Group/Vox Royalty Corp.)

Riaan Esterhuizen, Executive Vice President – Australia stated, “The past month has been highly productive for Vox’s operating partners, with significant exploration activity across 18 separate royalty assets. Active drilling at the South Railroad, Kookynie, Bulong and Bulgera gold projects continues to unlock value for Vox shareholders by re-rating the development probability of these projects. Of particular note, the infill drilling at South Railroad and Bulong continues to support the medium-term development plans for these exciting gold projects.”

Summary of Development and Exploration Updates

  • Drilling success at Dark Star gold deposit by Gold Standard Ventures;
  • Kookynie gold projects:
  • High-grade drilling results at Kal East Gold Project by Black Cat, which includes Bulong royalty-linked deposits; and
  • Commencement of drilling programme at the Bulgera gold project by Norwest.

South Railroad (Pre-Feasibility) – Dark Star Exploration Success

  • Vox holds a 0.633% net smelter royalty with advance minimum royalty payments over part of the South Railroad project;
  • On September 13, 2021, Gold Standard Ventures announced:
  • Additional work on the South Railroad feasibility study is ongoing, comprising technical trade-off studies, metallurgical testwork and in-fill drilling at the Pinion deposit, with the goal of adding 300,000+ ounces of royalty-linked contained gold to existing mineral reserves to the mine plan, to be known as “Pinion Phase 4”, as summarised in Gold Standard Ventures’ September 2021 corporate presentation.
  • Vox Management Summary: The upcoming South Railroad feasibility study is likely to include significantly more royalty-linked reserve ounces, based on ongoing drilling success, and support the likelihood of a development decision on this Nevada gold project within the next 12 – 18 months.

Kookynie (Pre-Feasibility) – Equity Raising for Exploration and Feasibility and Strong Drilling Results

  • Vox holds a A$1/t production royalty on part of the Kookynie gold project(1);
  • On August 24, 2021, Genesis announced:
  • On September 22, 2021, Genesis announced an equity funding package totalling A$20.8M and appointment of former Saracen Mineral Holdings and Northern Star Resources Managing Director Raleigh Finlayson as Genesis Managing Director. According to Genesis, Raleigh Finlayson will subcribe for A$7M of the funding package personally. The funds raised will be used to grow Genesis’ Ulysses gold project in Western Australia through aggressive exploration, prioritising the Ulysses, Puzzle and Admiral deposits following recent drilling success, advance ongoing feasibility studies, and pursue other strategic opportunities that emerge.
  • Vox Management Summary: Incoming Genesis Managing Director Raleigh Finlayson was instrumental in growing Saracen Minerals to a A$6B major gold producer from 2008 – 2021, culminating in the company’s A$16B merger with Northern Star Resources. His leadership at Genesis and personal financial investment supports the perceived quality of the company’s gold projects, including the royalty-linked Puzzle North discovery.

Bulong (Pre-Construction) – High Grade Drilling Results

  • Vox holds a 1% net smelter royalty over part of the Bulong gold project;
  • On September 16, 2021, Black Cat announced:
  • Vox Management Summary: Construction preparations and successful confirmatory infill drilling continue to support Vox management’s confidence in Black Cat’s ability to commence construction at the Kal East/Bulong project in 2022. Black Cat is on track to drill approximately ~100,000m across the Kal East project in 2021, which increases the likelihood of further gold discoveries on royalty-linked areas at Bulong.

Bulgera (Exploration) – Positive Metallurgical Testwork and 3,900m Drilling Programme

  • Vox holds a 1% net smelter royalty over the Bulgera gold project;
  • On September 23, 2021, Norwest announced:
  • Vox Management Summary: Vox acquired the Bulgera gold royalty for A$100,000 in February 2021 and it is already providing strong discovery potential and early development activity in the form of successful initial metallurgical testwork. Bulgera oxide ore was last processed at the Plutonic Gold Mine in 2004; the project still has a 48km haul road in place, which presents future potential for a simple toll-treatment gold operation.

Kookynie (Advanced Exploration) – 2,100m Drilling Programme

  • Vox holds a A$1/t ore production royalty (with gold grade escalator(1)) on part of the Kookynie gold project held by Metalicity;
  • On September 13, 2021, Metalicity announced:
  • Vox Management Summary: We eagerly anticipate the results of this exploration drilling and the release of an initial resource estimate for the royalty-linked McTavish deposit later in 2021. The resource estimate will provide an initial indication of future development options for this high-grade gold project.

Drilling Underway at Playfair’s RKV Copper Project, Norway

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 27, 2021) – Playfair’s (TSXV: PLY) (FSE: P1J1) (OTC Pink: PLYFF) NQ core drilling program on its large (201 square kilometers) 100% owned RKV Copper Project in South Central Norway is in progress at the Rødalen high copper MMI anomaly, the first of seven drill targets delineated by Playfair in five areas. Drill Notifications have been made and approved for 38 initial drillholes and up to 122 additional holes dependent on results.

Don Moore, CEO of Playfair, comments, “It’s a long and winding road to discovery. After over two years of methodical exploration using modern methods in an almost 400-year-old under-explored mining district Playfair has defined seven high priority drill targets in five areas. We have now started our drill program to test these compelling targets.”

In keeping with Playfair’s intent to minimise the impact of its exploration on the natural environment Playfair is using a lightweight drilling machine which can be disassembled and hand-carried to the drill sites. Although lightweight the drill is capable of drilling to 150m depth using BQ sized rods (36.5 mm or 1.437 inches core diameter) and to 100m depth using NQ sized rods (47.8mm or 1.872 inches core diameter).

All seven drill targets show compelling coherent MMI Cu anomalies with multiple MMI Cu values greater than 6,000 ppb. The highest value recorded was 53,300 ppb MMI Cu.

A short MMI Report by SGS states that values greater than 6,000 ppb MMI Cu “are likely to be associated with weathering copper sulphides.”

The Rødalen drill target is less than 350 metres east of the former Rødalen Mine. The large anomaly is open to the North and extends over an area 300m long by up to 100m wide. The highest MMI copper value is 14,700ppb, 108 times the background value of 136.5 ppb. There is no record of previous exploration in the immediate vicinity of the anomaly.

The Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU) reports:

“The Rødalen deposit was mined in the period between 1750 to 1810, with further exploration until 1918. About 40,000 tonnes of copper-rich ore was produced. The deposit is hosted by quartzite and thin horizons of amphibolite in generally calcareous biotite mica schist of the Gula group. The mineralization is totally covered by waste, but old reports describe the ore as 1-2 m wide ore zones rich in chalcopyrite and zones of massive pyrite and pyrrhotite.”

NGU further reports that samples taken from the dump by NGU geologists contained up to 1.81% copper and 0.96 gpt gold.

Overall management and execution of Playfair’s RKV drilling program is provided by Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience Inc., an independent consulting group, who, as part of their supervision, will ensure that appropriate quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocols are in place. RMG follows the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum’s (CIM) Best Practices.

In Norway, Reidar Gaupås, Playfair’s representative, has and continues to assist Playfair within the local community and enhance Playfair’s profile in Norway.

Promin AS, a Trondheim-based consultancy with extensive experience in the Norwegian Mining industry provides logistical support and experienced geologists. Helge Rushfeldt has greatly assisted in the start-up of the drill program. Kjell Nilsen, one of Norway’s most experienced field geologists who discovered Nussir, Norway’s largest known copper deposit and Jonas Dombrowski will directly supervise the drilling, core logging and analysis.

Arctic Drilling AS, a Norwegian drilling company based in Kautokeino will carry out the drilling assisted by Canadian drillers familiar with the man portable drill who will train Arctic Drilling personnel in the operation of this drill. The two Canadian drillers are onsite following Covid Quarantine on their initial arrival in Norway.

The drill targets are MMI (Mobile Metal Ion) copper anomalies discovered by sampling target areas generated by Windfall Geotek (TSXV: WIN) (OTCQB: WINKF) using their proprietary Computer Aided Resources Detection System (CARDS).

The seven drill targets were previously described: Storboren (November 07, 2019, and December 05, 2019, News Releases), Sæterfjellet, (January 06, 2021, News Release), Kletten North and Kletten South (January 28, 2021, News Release), Røstvangen Northeast and Røstvangen Southwest (February 17, 2021, News Release) and Rødalen (March 11, 2021, News Release).
