Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 25, 2023) – Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce assay results from its 100,000-meter drill program at the Moss Gold Project in Northwest Ontario, Canada (the “Moss Gold Project” or “Moss Gold Deposit“).

Highlights:

Results from nine holes drilled to infill poorly tested parts of the Southwest Zone have delineated multiple high-grade structures within the broader mineralized envelope with best intercepts of:
Drill results prove that the Southwest Zone is a continuation of the Main Zone and not a fault offset as previously interpreted. Mapping and geophysical data, together with historical scout drilling, show that mineralization continues intermittently for another 3 kilometers to the southwest and that many of the better targets are yet to be drilled.

With drilling recently completed, the Company is preparing an updated mineral resource expected in May (“May 2023 MRE“). The May 2023 MRE will use data from an additional 72 holes compared to the November 2022 mineral resource estimate (“November 2022 MRE“). Mineralization in the resource area remains open in multiple directions.

President and CEO Brett Richards stated: “These results continue to support our thesis that the size and scale of the Moss Gold Project will be large enough to support a material and meaningful update to the mineral resource estimate, which is expected in early May 2023.

“These additional results highlighting the mineralization in the south-west zone augment the press release of April 20, 2023, and continue to expand the zone well outside the historical resource, still open in several directions and at depth. In addition to the May 2023 MRE, we still have 30 quality drill targets to be tested. These include gold, coppercobalt, and polymetallic prospects. We have drilled less than 10% of the identified targets on our land package and are currently building a plan to drill test the better targets. It will be an exciting period when we are ready to evaluate the additional resource potential of the larger inventory of targets within our land package.

“We have focused on the currently defined portion of the Moss Gold Deposit as a meaningful Phase One Project that Goldshore itself can build. The Moss Gold Deposit remains open at depth and through several yet-to-be drilled parallel structures; and it is part of an overall 8-kilometer strike length of gold mineralization in drill holes. This strongly suggests that the Phase One Project is part of a much larger total project.”

Technical Overview

The Southwest Zone was previously considered to be a small fault-offset extension of the Main Zone. As a result, it was poorly drilled, which led to the definition of only a small open pit-constrained Mineral Resource (Figure 1 and 2).

Oriented core measurements from earlier drilling showed a significant change in strike of the Southwest Zone, revealing it to be 035º rather than the assumed 065º strike based on the known orientation of the Main and QES Zones. The nine holes reported herein were drilled perpendicular to the new strike to infill a poorly drilled volume in the center of the Southwest Zone at a closer spacing (30 meters) along each section to confirm the continuity of high-grade shears. This should enable greater confidence in the resource and an expansion of the open pit constraints at depth.

Holes MMD-22-111, MMD-23-116, -118A, and -119 intersected several high-grade shears (e.g., 0.65m @ 36.8 g/t Au in MMD-23-116) hosting quartz-carbonate veinlets with up to 3-5% pyritechalcopyrite within a strongly albite-hematite and silica-sericite-pyrite and carbonate altered diorite intrusion complex (Figure 4). The shears anastomose along the same orientation of the zone and trend beyond the area explored by historical drilling.

Holes MMD-22-107, -110, MMD-23-115, -117, -120 intersected wide intervals of low-grade mineralization within the altered intrusion containing localized narrow higher-grade shears. The results are similar to those encountered in the historic drilling and include:

0.58 g/t Au over 37.7m from 11.3m depth in MMD-22-107
0.41 g/t Au over 50.95m from 7.0m depth in MMD-22-110
0.38 g/t Au over 55.1m from 231.9m depth in MMD-23-116
0.43 g/t Au over 122.3 from 24.7m depth in MMD-23-117
0.58 g/t Au over 81.8 from 369.2m depth in MMD-23-118A
0.51 g/t Au over 122.8m from 116.0m depth in MMD-23-119 and
0.61 g/t Au over 33.2m from 447.85m depth

Hole MMD-22-107, -110, and -111 represent the most western holes drilled to date in the Southwest Zone, including historical drilling. They illustrate the continued potential to expand the Moss Gold Deposit beyond the original footprint with the newly understood orientation of the shear structures trending southwest of the historical exploration drilling. Gold has been intersected in scout drill holes over a further three kilometers along strike. Our airborne VTEM/magnetics data show that more favourable targets exist along this corridor in areas that have yet to be drilled.

Pete Flindell, VP Exploration for Goldshore, said, “These results show that the Southwest Zone is much better mineralized than historical drillholes suggested. They also show that the Moss Gold Deposit is yet to be closed off, confirming our belief that this is a much bigger mineralized system than is appreciated.”

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures

All samples were sent to ALS Geochemistry in Thunder Bay for preparation and analysis was performed in the ALS Vancouver analytical facility. ALS is accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for the Accreditation of Mineral Analysis Testing Laboratories and CAN-P-4E ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were analyzed for gold via fire assay with an AA finish (“Au-AA23”) and 48 pathfinder elements via ICP-MS after four-acid digestion (“ME-MS61”). Samples that assayed over 10 ppm Au were re-run via fire assay with a gravimetric finish (“Au-GRA21”).

In addition to ALS quality assurance / quality control (“QA/QC”) protocols, Goldshore has implemented a quality control program for all samples collected through the drilling program. The quality control program was designed by a qualified and independent third party, with a focus on the quality of analytical results for gold. Analytical results are received, imported to our secure on-line database and evaluated to meet our established guidelines to ensure that all sample batches pass industry best practice for analytical quality control. Certified reference materials are considered acceptable if values returned are within three standard deviations of the certified value reported by the manufacture of the material. In addition to the certified reference material, certified blank material is included in the sample stream to monitor contamination during sample preparation. Blank material results are assessed based on the returned gold result being less than ten times the quoted lower detection limit of the analytical method. The results of the on-going analytical quality control program are evaluated and reported to Goldshore by Orix Geoscience Inc.

Grant of Stock Options and RSUs

In addition, the Company announces that it has granted a total of 4,100,000 stock options (“Options“) to purchase common shares of the Company to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants. Such Options are exercisable into common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.25 per common share for a period of five years from the date of grant. Of the Options, 3,900,000 will vest 1/3 on October 24, 2023, 1/3 on October 24, 2024, and 1/3 on October 24, 2025; and 200,000 will vest 1/3 immediately and 1/3 annually thereafter. All Options expire on April 24, 2028.

The Company has also issued a total of 1,673,968 restricted share units (“RSUs“) to certain directors and officers of the Company. The RSUs will fully vest on the date that is one year from the date of grant. Once vested, each RSU represents the right to receive one common share of the Company, the equivalent cash value thereof, or a combination of the two, at the Company’s discretion. The grant of Options and issuance of RSUs have been made in accordance with the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan“) that was approved by the Company’s directors on November 8, 2022. The Plan remains subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company at its next Annual General and Special Meeting.

Dolly Varden Silver Mobilizes Five Drill Rigs and Outlines Discovery-Oriented 45,000 Meter Drill Program

Post author By admin
Post date April 24, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 24, 2023) – Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSXV: DV) (OTCQX: DOLLF) (the “Company” or “Dolly Varden“) announces the 2023 Exploration Plans for the Kitsault Valley Project, which includes the Dolly Varden Silver property and Homestake Ridge Gold Silver property. A total of 40,000 to 45,000m of drilling is planned to build upon last year’s successes through further step outs following high grade silver and gold mineralization at the Wolf and Homestake Ridge deposits, as well as appropriately spaced exploration holes to allow the inclusion of new mineralization drilled over the past three drilling programs to be include in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate.

“2022 was a breakthrough exploration season at Dolly Varden Silver’s Kitsault Valley project. It hosts one of the largest, undeveloped high grade precious metals project in Western Canada. With the wide, high-grade silver intercepts in significant step-out holes from the Wolf and Homestake Silver deposits, coupled with the highest grade gold intercepts drilled in all of the Golden Triangle in 2022 from the Homestake Main deposit, we eagerly await the start of this season’s drilling. We are continuing our successful strategy of expanding current Resources, while also testing new exploration targets for discovery. The company has over $26 million in the treasury, positioning our exploration team with a tremendous opportunity to create value with the drill bit,” said Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Dolly Varden Silver.

Dolly Varden: Wolf and Kitsol Veins

Drilling allocated to the Wolf Deposit expansion will focus on both infill drilling of the wide-spaced intercepts from 2022 to be included in an upcoming resource estimate, as well as further step out holes in both the southwest, north and east directions where high grade silver mineralization remains open. Two intercepts from the Wolf Vein drilled in 2022 at the furthest strike extents of the vein, are approximately 825 meters apart. The deposit is wide open for expansion along strike and to depth.

Wolf Vein furthest Northeast: DV22-329: 1,499 g/t Ag, 1.89 %Pb, 0.46% Zn over 15.94 meters (8.77 meters estimated true width), including 23,997 g/t Ag, 1.24% Pb, 0.34% Zn over 0.35 meters (0.19m estimated true width).
Wolf Vein furthest Southwest: DV22-320: 321g/t Ag, 0.84 %Pb, 0.84% Zn over 12.85 meters (6.81 meters estimated true width) including 664 g/t Ag, 1.24% Pb, 3.54% Zn over 1.63 meters (0.86 meters estimated true width).

Similar step out drilling will follow up on high grade silver mineralization at the Kitsol Vein, where drill hole DV22-323 demonstrated the continuity of steeply plunging, high-grade silver mineralization with results of 301g/t Ag, 0.23 %Pb, 0.56% Zn over 15.00 meters (9.60 meters estimated true width) including 434 g/t Ag, 0.41% Pb, 0.69% Zn over 5.90 meters (3.78 meters estimated true width).

Homestake Ridge: Main and Silver

The 2023 exploration drilling at the Homestake deposits are influenced by the structural information gained from the infill drilling at Main where two main plunge directions have been identified; a shallow, northerly plunge and a steep southerly plunge, where NE-SW structures crosscut the main Homestake trend. The planned drilling will target the down plunge extensions of higher grade and wider zones of gold mineralization such as 2022 drill hole HR22-333 which intersected 46.31 g/t Au, 70 g/t Ag and 0.19% Cu over 25.00 meters including 1,145 g/t Au, 826 g/t Ag and 0.51% Cu over 0.48 meters core length.

Drilling at Homestake Silver will prioritize step out holes where 2022 expansion drilling had success at the southern extent, with HR22-362, a 200 meter step out that intersected 1,252 g/t Ag, 0.81 g/t Au and 0.14% Cu over 2.50 meters, including 3,330 g/t Ag, 0.75 g/t Au and 0.38% Cu over 0.75m.

Discovery Focused Exploration

The Moose Vein is a 2023 exploration drill target, testing an historic prospect with small exploration adit from the 1920s. It is located 1,500 meters north of the Wolf Deposit within the Potassic alteration halo associated with the Torbrit, Dolly Varden and Wolf silver deposits to the south. The Moose vein strikes east-west, similar to the Dolly Varden Vein, hosting silver grades and mineralization styles similar to areas of the Wolf vein, proximal to the high-grade plunge zone. The depth extent and projected extension of the Mooise Vein under the mid-valley sediment cap will be tested in the 2023 program.

Several blind drill targets under the 5.4 kilometer long mid-valley sediment cover will be better defined for later summer drill testing, after a planned ground IP survey is completed

Additional exploration targets will include parallel structural zones to the west of Homestake Main trend, coincident with a broad gold in soils anomalous zone overlying a quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration zone.

Stillwater Critical Minerals Appoints Dr. Wolfgang Maier as Senior Geological Advisor

Post author By admin
Post date April 20, 2023

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 20, 2023 / Stillwater Critical Minerals Corp. (TSXV:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF) (the “Company”, “Stillwater” or “SWCM”) is pleased to announce that Wolfgang Maier, Ph.D., a recognized world expert geologist in magmatic mineral deposits, has joined the Company as Senior Geological Advisor.

Stillwater Critical Minerals, Thursday, April 20, 2023, Press release picture — Figure 1 – Stillwater Critical Minerals personnel at Stillwater West in August 2022 (L-R): Dr. Wolfgang Maier, Senior Geological Advisor, Dr. Danie Grobler, Vice-President Exploration, and Greg Johnson, Chairman of the Board

Dr. Maier has more than 25 years of global experience in mafic-ultramafic igneous systems and the formation of magmatic ore deposits, including deposits of nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum group elements (“PGE”), and chromium. He has authored and co-authored 144 publications which have received 5,175 citations to date and has been a contributing author or editor of several books, monographs, and geological maps. Dr. Maier studied geology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany and at Rhodes University, South Africa, including doctoral studies on the Bushveld Complex in 1992. He taught igneous petrology and economic geology at the Universities of Pretoria (South Africa), University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (Canada), UWA (Australia), and Oulu (Finland) before joining Cardiff University in 2013 where he is currently a professor with the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. In addition to his work studying the formation of magmatic ore deposits including PGE, Ni-Cu, Cr, and V-Ti-Fe deposits, Dr. Maier is also interested in increasing the sustainability of both exploration and mining.

Dr. Wolfgang Maier commented, “I am very impressed with the potential of the Stillwater project and excited to contribute to the exceptional team assembled by Stillwater Critical Minerals. During my site visit in 2022, I was impressed by the relatively underexplored nature of the lower Stillwater complex, which is surprising as the Stillwater Igneous Complex hosts the highest-grade platinum group element reef system in the world and the lower Stillwater complex shows similar exceptional PGE tenor within the more broadly mineralized nickel, copper, cobalt and chromium enriched lower magmatic stratigraphy. I look forward to further collaboration as SWCM focuses on expansion of their current resources and follows up on its exciting high-grade discovery holes in 2023. The potential for continued discovery of these important battery metals along with significant PGEs at Stillwater is outstanding.”

Dr. Danie Grobler, Stillwater Critical Minerals’ Vice-President of Exploration, stated, “We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Maier to the technical team at Stillwater in follow-up to his extended tour of the project last year. During his career, Dr Maier has worked on and published papers about most of the economically important layered mafic-ultramafic intrusives globally. Dr Maier’s extensive scientific understanding of these important critical metal deposits complements our experienced exploration team as we prioritize high-grade nickel, copper, cobalt, and platinum group element mineralized zones within the lower part of the Stillwater layered magmatic stratigraphy. We are currently finalizing our exploration plans for 2023 which will focus on continued expansion drilling at the resource areas. Particular focus is planned for targets adjacent to high-grade discovery intersects such as CM2021-05 at Chrome Mountain which intersected 13.2 meters of high-grade nickel sulphide grading 2.31% Ni, 0.35% Cu, 0.115% Co and 1.51 g/t PGEs+Au within 400.8 meters of continuous mineralization, and CZ2021-01 at Iron Mountain, which intersected 4.6 meters grading 0.96% Ni, 0.49% Cu, 0.073% Co and 0.87 g/t PGEs+Au within 367.6 meters of continuous mineralization.”

Goldshore Expands Gold Mineralization Along Strike and at Depth at the Southwest Zone; Includes Intersects 2.17 g/t Au over 50.35m and 6.96 g/t Au over 15.05m

Post author By admin
Post date April 20, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 20, 2023) – Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce assay results from its recently completed drill program at the Moss Lake Project in Northwest Ontario, Canada (the “Moss Gold Project“).

Highlights:

Results from seven holes testing the extension of the Southwest Zone toward the Main Zone have delineated a new high-grade lens, including visible gold, northeast of the Southwest Zone resource that extends from surface to at least 250 meters depth with best intercepts of:
6.96 g/t Au over 15.05m from 189.4m depth in MMD-22-105, including
- 54.4 g/t Au over 1.6m from 189.4m
2.17 g/t Au over 50.35m from 103.55m depth in MMD-23-114, including
- 3.47 g/t Au over 26.05m from 120.35m

1.30 g/t Au over 21.35m from 214m depth in MMD-22-108, including
- 2.60 g/t Au over 7.35 from 228.0m
These drill results prove that the Southwest Zone is a continuation of the Main Zone and not a fault offset as previously interpreted. They also show that the Southwest Zone extends to depth and is potentially as large as the Main Zone.
With drilling recently completed, the Company is preparing an updated mineral resource expected in May. The updated resource will use data from an additional 72 holes compared to the November 2022 resource. Mineralization in the resource area remains open in multiple directions.

President and CEO Brett Richards stated: “These results continue to support our belief that the size and scale of the Moss Gold Project is much larger and continues to be open at all directions, along strike both to the northeast and southwest, as well as our understanding of lateral mineralized targets to the south-east of the Southwest Zone and the Main Zone. For now, we have halted the program to step back; understand the quantum of this resource, and prepare for a mineral resource update in early May, we can now see a viable path to a meaningful project PEA (preliminary economic analysis). We look forward to those results in the coming months, as we start to plan for an infill drilling program working towards a pre-feasibility study in the future.”

Continued infill of the Southwest Zone has delineated a new continuous high-grade structure over a 250m strike length from near surface to 200m depth immediately northeast of the historical Southwest Zone. Holes MMD-22-105, -108, -109 and MMD-23-113, and -114 intersected this structure along with previously released holes MMD-22-031, -042, -063, and -064. The newly understood zone orientation was tested against the phase 1 drill results and confirmed the continuity of the high-grade structures controlling the mineralization.

The mineralized zone occurs within an albitite+hematite altered diorite intrusion complex cut by closely spaced, texturally destructive sericite+chlorite+carbonate altered shears. Additional shearing, and subsequent alteration, is seen extending into the neighboring intermediate volcanics but is poorly mineralized.

The gold mineralization appears more nuggety than elsewhere in the deposit with a greater portion of the mineralization attributed to pyrite±chalcopyrite bearing quartz-carbonate veins within the sheared intervals. Mineralization includes visible gold (Figure 4). Several very high-grade intercepts include:

54.4 g/t Au over 1.6m from 189.4m depth in MMD-22-105

11.3 g/t Au over 0.5m from 147.7m depth in MMD-22-108 and
11.5 g/t Au over 0.7m from 232.35m
10.6 g/t Au over 0.95m from 323.3m depth in MMD-23-112

19.0 g/t Au over 0.65m from 54m depth in MMD-23-114 and
22.9 g/t Au over 1m from 128m depth and
14.4 g/t Au over 1m from 137m depth

Holes MMD-22-109 and MMD-23-113 intersected the high-grade structure but encountered lesser vein mineralization resulting in more modest grade intercepts including:

0.44 g/t Au over 81.2m from 298.8m depth in MMD-22-109, including
- 1.08 g/t Au over 8.60m from 335.35m

0.63 g/t Au over 29.5m from 129.55m depth in MMD-23-113, including
- 4.76 g/t Au over 2.0m from 140.0m and
0.51 g/t Au over 58m from 204.0m depth, including
- 1.92 g/t Au over 4.0m from 205.0m and
- 1.84 g/t Au over 3.0m from 229.0m

Holes MMD-22-106, and MMD-23-112 were focused on infilling the drill spacing of the existing Southwest Zone. All three holes intercepted broad zones of mineralization hosted primarily within altered granodiorite containing narrow higher grade shear zones. Best intercepts include:

0.47 g/t Au over 63m from 277m depth in MMD-22-106
0.61 g/t Au over 41.25m from 232m depth in MMD-23-112
0.39 g/t Au over 53.5m from 301m depth in MMD-23-112

Pete Flindell, VP Exploration for Goldshore, said, “These results show that the Southwest Zone is much larger and better mineralized than historical drillholes suggested; and is potentially as large as the Main Zone. We await the results from the final batch of assays that are expected to provide critical infill beneath the heart of the Southwest Zone.”

ROVER METALS RECEIVES EXPLORATION DRILL PERMIT FOR NEVADA LITHIUM PROJECT

Post author By admin
Post date April 19, 2023

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE:4XO) (“Rover” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has it received its exploration drill permit from the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) to further exploration at its Let’s Go Lithium (“LGL”) project, NV, USA.

Let’s Go Lithium Project
The LGL project is located on approximately 6,000 acres of BLM land within the prolific southwest Nevada claystone lithium jurisdiction. The BLM permit allows for up to 30 drill holes to a depth of up to 90 meters per hole. The LGL project is located 12 km east-northeast of the historic Franklin Wells hectorite mine. The project includes green energy infrastructure of hydro power lines on site, direct road access, and a nearby town with a readily available work force. The Company is planning an RC drill program to follow-up on the high-grade lithium surface samples (see Phase 1 Exploration below) taken on the project in 2022.

LGL Property Map

Phase 1 Exploration at LGL – 2022
In H2-2022, the Company, through the vendor of the LGL project, and through ALS Laboratories, verified high-grade lithium surface samples at the project. Highlights of these surface grab samples processed by ALS Laboratories include: Sample# AMZ-8 of 780ppm Li, Sample# AMZ-26 of 910ppm Li, and Sample# AMZ-28 of 710ppm Li. The Company has pulled additional surface grab samples from the project and analysed them with a Handheld Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (“HH LIBS”). Highlights of the HH LIBS include: 1,218 ppm Li, 778 ppm Li, 724 ppm Li, and 707 ppm Li. Historic water well drill logs spread across the LGL project suggest an average thickness of the clay beds to be approximately 105 meters.

Regional Geology
LGL is located just 12 km away from the historic Franklin Wells hectorite (a rare lithium smectite mineral) deposit. Mining at Franklin Wells dates back to the 1920’s. The regional geology of the Amargosa Valley is a basin-and-range structure with the Greenwater Range and Funeral Mountains to the west and the Amargosa Desert to the east. The Greenwater/Funeral mountains are fault-controlled with narrow interior valleys and are bounded by broad, coalescing alluvial fans. The Greenwater/Funeral mountains are composed of lower Paleozoic marine and metamorphic rocks. LGL is located in a large basin of clay rich Tertiary lakebed sediments, the major host rock for the other lithium claystone deposits in the southwest Nevada lithium jurisdiction.

Later-stage company comparable claystone lithium projects in southwest Nevada include Century Lithium Corp.’s Clayton Valley project; American Lithium’s TLC project; Spearmint Resources’ McGee project; Noram Lithium’s Zeus project, and Nevada Lithium’s Bonnie Claire project. All of the aforementioned companies are later-stage mining companies, with a NI 43-101 resource calculation.

Technical information has been approved by David White, P.Geo., QP for the purposes of NI 43-101. ALS Laboratories is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 certified.

Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states, “It’s been a great start to the year for Nevada claystone lithium projects. In Jan-2023, the Rhyolite Ridge project received a USD700MM conditional loan from U.S. Department of Energy Loan Programs Office. In Jan-2023, American Lithium announced a successful pilot plant processing of Lithium Carbonate from its TLC project. In Feb-2023, General Motors announced its intent to invest USD65MM into the Thacker Pass project. Reno, NV, also happens to be home to the Tesla battery factory. Management at Rover Metals believes that the LGL project is a well-timed, low cost exploration development project in the right area code. Management is currently reviewing proposals from drilling companies as we plan on embarking on our maiden drill program at the LGL project, now that we have our permit. Exact start dates will be the subject of a future news release.”

Collective Mining Begins Mobilizing a Fourth Drill Rig to Test Six New High-Grade Porphyry Targets Within a 400 Metre Radius of the Apollo System

Post author By admin
Post date April 18, 2023

Exploration fieldwork has identified six well mineralized and outcropping porphyry and related style targets within a 400 metre radius of the Apollo system with assay results for soil and rock samples as follows:
Surface mapping at all six targets has outlined the same style of porphyry mineralization as the Apollo system, namely altered porphyry with vein stockwork, inter-mineral breccia with oxide followed by sulphides in the matrix and overprinting late-stage porphyry veins (“CBM Veins”).
Although the amount of rock and soil exposure in the sampling radius covering each of the six target areas is limited due to vegetation, historical landslides and volcanic ash cover, the scale of the areas and tenor of the assay results are similar to the original outcrop of the Apollo system. The Company estimates that there is no more than 5% rock exposure anywhere at the Guayabales project.
For comparison, the outcrop of the Apollo porphyry system prior to drilling only measured 10 metres in diameter. Subsequent drilling has outlined a porphyry system that to date measures 150 metres by 130 metres at surface, which then expands in dimensions quickly at depth to up to 500 metres wide and remains open.
Surface sampling was carried out in oxidized material and if the oxidation zone shares similar characteristics to the Apollo system, the copper and silver grades have been reduced by leaching. Recent drill results from Pad 6 and Pad 7 at Apollo corroborates this assertion.
A fourth drill rig is being mobilized to the project and is expected to initiate testing of the six new targets in late Q2, 2023.
Six additional holes have been completed at the Apollo system with assay results expected in the near term. APC-41, APC-42 and APC-45 are shorter holes designed to test the contact zones between the inter-mineral breccia and porphyry host rock in search of higher-grade sub zones. APC-44 and APC 46 are longer holes (up to 425 metres in mineralization) drilled from Pad 6 as part of a fan pattern to assess the shallow mineralization in this area and APC-47 is an exploratory hole drilled to the east from Pad 4 to test for mineralization beginning from below surface.

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: “The discovery of these new mineralized porphyry outcrops around Apollo are both exciting and significant for the Company. The original discovery outcrop of Apollo only covered a 10 metre radius and subsequent drilling has demonstrated that Apollo has the morphology of an inverted carrot with limited surface expression. This fact puts these new targets into perspective and highlights that the Apollo area is highly prospective for further exploration. We only found these new outcrops because of various recently excavated tracks emplaced to service and supply the drilling pads. I am looking forward to new drill rigs turning at these targets in the near term.”

TORONTO, April 18, 2023 /CNW/ – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce exploration results from six newly generate porphyry and related style targets located within the Apollo target area at the Guayabales project located in Caldas, Colombia. The Apollo porphyry system 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 body currently measuring 395 metres x 385 metres x 915 metres and open for expansion.

Details (See Table 1 and Figures 1-3)

Exploration fieldwork has identified six target areas with outcropping porphyry style mineralization which are located within a 400 metre radius of the Apollo porphyry system. These new targets were generated by geological mapping, soil sampling and most importantly the emplacement of new tracks to enable supplies and equipment to be transported to the current drill pads in the area. Two key characteristics pertinent to understanding the potential impact of the targets and their associated metal values in rock and soil are as follows:

Collectively, the targets consist of all the same mineralization styles observed in the Apollo system, namely early-stage porphyry style with various porphyry veinlets, inter-mineral breccia, and late stage CBM veins which host higher values of gold and silver. The copper values range between 31 ppm and 1,410 ppm and reflect leaching of copper and silver due to surface oxidation. The leaching of copper in oxides at Apollo has been observed in all oxidized material drilled from Pad 6 and Pad 7. Copper values near surface in these drill holes display very similar grades to those observed in the six outcrops outlined in this release. Gold values range from 0.18 g/t to 8.29 g/t and silver values from 0.2 g/t to 346 g/t with variation in both cases related to the mineralization styles encountered.

Cognizance must be taken of the surface area and 3D morphology of the Apollo porphyry system when assessing these new porphyry outcrops. The original Apollo discovery outcrop was only 10 metres in diameter and was the only exposure identified prior to the drilling of discovery hole APC-1. The discovery outcrop had gold, silver, and copper values in the ranges of 0.07 to 4.1 g/t gold, 1.9 to 29 g/t silver and 377 to 1,023 ppm copper. After the erection of multiple drill pads, another two outcrop areas were located at Apollo following the construction of various tracks which were emplaced to service the various drill rigs with equipment and supplies. There is only approximately 5% outcrop exposure at the Guayabales project due to the dense vegetation and the covering of primary rock surfaces by historic landslide fill and young volcanic ash. Furthermore, drilling at the Apollo deposit has demonstrated that the surface expression is relatively small with a maximum known diameter at present of 150 metres whereas at depth this expands quickly to a known diameter of up to 500 metres. The deposit is still open in all directions.

The following brief descriptions and data are summarized for each outcrop target:

Target 1:

This target is located 200 metres west of the Apollo outcrop area. This outcrop has dimensions of 20 metres by 3 metres and hosts early-stage porphyry mineralization as well as clast supported crackle breccia with an iron oxide matrix cement of 3% to 5% in volume. Drusy quartz veining is superimposed on the breccia. Pervasive and strong sericite alteration overprints the rock exposures. Gold grades range from 1.13 g/t to 0.34 g/t with silver ranging from 0.2 g/t to 6.6 g/t and copper in the range of 90 ppm to 224 ppm.

Target 2:

This target is located 300 metres northeast of the Apollo system, has outcrop dimensions of 120 metres by 60 metres and contains a couple of historical and shallow artisanal mines. Geological mapping has identified altered porphyry hosting angular breccia with quartz diorite clasts. The matrix of the breccia has total sulphides of up to 5% which is predominantly pyrite with some chalcopyrite. CBM veinlets overprint the breccia and trend NW and EW. Alteration is strong and defined by sericite and chlorite. Gold values range from 8.29 g/t to 1.51 g/t, silver from 10 g/t to 346 g/t and copper from 72 ppm to 362 ppm.

Target 3:

Target 3 is located 300 metres east-northeast of the Apollo system and has outcrop dimensions of 15 metres by 3 metres. The outcrop area hosts angular breccia with quartz diorite clasts with an iron oxide cement (1%-2%) after sulphides. Strong Sericite-chlorite alteration is observed. The target has subsequently been expanded to 75 metres by 170 metres by anomalous gold in soil values. Rock samples range from 0.18 g/t to 0.63 g/t gold, silver ranges from 2 g/t to 68 g/t and copper from 43 ppm to 277 ppm.

Target 4:

This target is located 250 metres east of the Apollo system with dimensions measuring 20 metres x 4 metres and host crackle breccia of diorite composition and altered porphyry rocks. Breccia cement hosts 2%-3% iron oxide after sulphide while both the porphyry and breccia units are overprinted by CBM veinlets. Strong sericite alteration is observed in the outcrop. The target has been expanded to 150 metres by 100 metres by anomalous gold in soil values. Rock samples range from 0.90 to 4.31 g/t gold, 1 g/t to 56 g/t silver and copper ranges from 125 ppm to 323 ppm.

Target 5:

This target area is located 100 metres due east of the Apollo system and has dimensions measuring 15 metres by 10 metres. Geology observed includes altered porphyry, angular breccia and late stage CBM veinlets. The breccia matrix hosts 3%-5% iron oxides after sulphide with strong sericitic alteration. Anomalous soil sample results for gold have expanded the target area to 200 metres by 100 metres. Rock samples range from 0.56 g/t to 5.59 g/t gold, 6 g/t to 70 g/t silver and copper ranges from 477 ppm to 833 ppm.

Target 6:

This target area is located 400 metres due southeast of the Apollo system and outcrops over a 30 metre diameter area. The outcrop hosts angular, polymictic, clast supported breccia (diorite and quartz diorite) and altered porphyry with quartz veinlets. The matrix cement hosts visible sulphides of 3%-5% and consists of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and pyrite. Rock samples range from 0.39 g/t to 1.07 g/t gold, 6 g/t to 20 g/t silver and copper ranges from 32 ppm to 1,410 ppm.

Update on Apollo Drilling Progress

The Phase II drilling program of 2023 is advancing on schedule with thirteen holes completed and a further six holes in the lab awaiting assay results. Since the discovery of the Apollo porphyry system was announced in June 2022, a total of 44 drill holes (approximately 18,978 metres) have been completed and assayed.

Six additional holes have been completed from the three current drill pads with assay results expected in the near term. APC-44 and APC-46 are long holes drilled in westerly direction with continuous visual mineralization of up to 425 metres. APC-41, APC-42 and APC-45 are shorter holes designed to test the contact zones between breccia and porphyry in potentially higher-grade areas. APC-47 is an exploratory hole drilled to the east from Pad 4. Assay results are expected in the near term.

The Company presently has three diamond drill rigs operating at the Apollo project and additional assay results are expected in the near term.

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.

Silver Bullet Mines Corp. Announces Cash Advance on First Order

Post author By admin
Post date April 17, 2023

Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 17, 2023) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces it has entered into a cash advance from a purchaser of SBMI’s silver products (the “Purchaser”).

SBMI has previously announced an order for 50 kilograms of silver from the Purchaser, which order has since been increased to 500 kilograms (17,600 oz) of silver. The Purchaser has indicated a willingness to purchase 17,600 oz of silver from SBMI every month for the foreseeable future. Management reasonably believes SBMI has the capability to fill such monthly orders.

The Purchaser and SBMI have since entered into an agreement whereby the Purchaser would advance USD$225,000 against the first delivery of silver to it by SBMI. This advance would be secured by a conditional convertible debenture (the “Debenture”). The Debenture only becomes convertible in the event SBMI does not deliver USD$225,000 of silver to the Purchaser within 60 days of SBMI receiving the USD$225,000 advance. This amounts to a little more than 9,000 oz of silver, depending upon the spot price at the time of delivery.

The principal amount of the Debenture would decrease as SBMI delivers silver to the Purchaser, and would expire upon the delivery of USD$225,000 worth of silver to the Purchaser. Once SBMI has delivered USD$225,000 worth of silver to the Purchaser, the Debenture would expire. The Debenture would accrue interest at the rate of 3% per month on the outstanding principal for one month, which interest begins to accrue after 30 days. After 60 days either the interest converts with the Debenture, or if SBMI has delivered USD$225,000 worth of silver to the Purchaser the obligation to pay interest would expire.

The funds would be advanced by the Purchaser immediately after SBMI receives regulatory approval for the Debenture, and would be used for working capital purposes.

Collective Mining Drills 271.30 Metres at 3.35 g/t Gold Equivalent from Surface and Expands the Dimensions of the High-Grade Shallow Zone of the Apollo Porphyry System to the West

Post author By admin
Post date April 11, 2023

Hole APC-43, cut the longest continuous interval drilled to date of high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralization beginning at surface from Pad 7 at the Apollo system with results as follows:
Step out drill hole APC-40 also intercepted high-grade copper-silver-gold mineralization beginning from surface as follows:
APC-40 successfully extended the strike length of the shallow mineralization to the west of the previously known mineralization envelope and as a result has expanded the maximum known area of shallow mineralization to 150 metres X 130 metres (previously 130m X 130m).
The grade tenor and continuity of the intersections in APC-40 and APC-43 reflect an increased understanding of the dip and geometry of the southernmost, high-grade portion of the Apollo system. The surface dimensions of the shallow mineralization remain open for further expansion with drill holes from newly completed Pad 9 and Pad 10 now underway.
Five additional holes have been completed from Pad 6 and Pad 7 with assay results expected in the near term. APC-44 is the longest hole drilled to date as part of the shallow drilling program and cut more than 425 metres of continuous visual mineralization beginning at surface. APC-41 and APC-42 were shorter holes designed to test the contact between the breccia and the quartz diorite porphyry with very intense late-stage porphyry veining observed in APC-42. Assay results are expected in the near term.
The Company has commenced a long step out drill hole of up to 1,000 metres to the northwest from Pad 6. Presently, the hole (APC-49) is cutting mineralization, which began at surface, to its current depth of 783 metres.

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: “The latest assay results continue to demonstrate that the Apollo system has world-class grades for an outcropping bulk tonnage porphyry system. With a strong treasury now in hand due to the recently closed financing, the Company will aggressively look to expand the Apollo system with step out deep drill holes like APC-49 currently underway and by testing satellite targets within the Apollo area. More details on the revised and expanded drilling plan for the remainder of 2023 will be provided shortly.”

TORONTO, April 11, 2023 /CNW/ – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from an additional two drill holes completed from Pad 7. Drilling at Apollo in 2023 has been focused on discovering and defining shallow, high-grade mineralization below surface outcrops. With additional financing in place, the Company has expanded the aim of the program to include long step out holes. The Apollo porphyry deposit 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 body currently measuring 395 metres x 385 metres x 915 metres and open for expansion.

Details (See Table 1 and Figures 1-5)

The Phase II drilling program of 2023 is advancing on schedule with eleven holes completed and a further five holes in the lab awaiting assay results. Since the discovery of the Apollo porphyry system was announced in June 2022, a total of 42 drill holes (approximately 18,000 metres) have been completed and assayed. Assay results and geological observations for APC-40 and APC-43 are summarized below.

APC-40 was drilled to the southwest from Pad 7 to a maximum downhole depth of 214.55 metres and was targeted to intersect the contact zone between the mineralized breccia and the adjacent porphyry mineralization to the southwest. The hole intersected continuous and strong copper, silver and gold mineralization from surface bedrock to a depth of 169.25 metres (188 metres vertical due to topography) with the following assay results highlighted below:

169.25 metres @ 2.81 g/t gold equivalent (consisting of 1.93 g/t gold, 19 g/t silver and 0.38% copper) including:

The mineralized interval starts from 1.5 metres depth with saprolite material followed by saprock and then continues with iron oxides and sulphides until a downhole depth of 18.25 metres. Below the oxide transition zone, the intercept passes into fresh rock consisting of quartz diorite breccia with a matrix of chalcopyrite (0.5% to 1.2%), pyrite (up to 1.5%) and 1% pyrrhotite. Higher-grade zones encountered from 18.25 metres and 87.85 metres downhole reflect zones with a higher percentage of sulphides plus quartz and carbonate in the matrix and reflect areas of higher permeability within the porphyry system.

APC-43 was drilled to the northwest from Pad 7 to a maximum downhole depth of 293 metres. The hole targeted the steeply dipping, southern high-grade zone as outlined by previous drilling from Pad 7 (Holes APC-36 and APC-38). The hole intersected continuous mineralization from surface outcrop to a downhole depth of 271.30 metres (282 metres vertical due to topography) with assay results as follows:

271.30 metres @ 3.35 g/t gold equivalent (consisting of 2.37 g/t gold, 23 g/t silver and 0.42% copper) including:

The mineralized interval starts from surface to 3.9 metres depth within saprolite material followed by an additional 8.1 metres of saprock with iron oxides to 12 metres before transitioning into a zone with an oxidized sulphide matrix. From 19.30 metres the intercept passes into fresh rock with a sulphide composition of 0.5% to 1.3% chalcopyrite, 1.8% pyrite and pyrrhotite (up to 1.3%). The higher-grade zones commencing at 19.30 metres and 214.70 metres downhole relate to zones with a higher percentage of sulphides plus quartz and carbonate in the matrix and reflect areas of higher permeability within the porphyry system.

The grade tenor and continuity of the intersections in APC-40 and APC-43 reflect an increased understanding of the dip and geometry of the southern, high grade portion of the Apollo porphyry as gained from previous initial drilling in this area (holes APC-36 and APC-38, see press release dated March 30, 2023 for further details). Outcropping mineralization in the south dips steeply to the northwest and APC-43 has extended the mineralization another 100 metres vertically in this direction. APC-40 has extended the known area of shallow mineralization laterally and now measures 150 metres X 130 metres (previously 130 metres X 130 metres).

Outcrop mapping and sampling in the south and central portions of the system has outlined a 150 metre-by-130 metre area of known surface mineralization, which is open in all directions. Pads 6 and 7 have been designed with the objective of understanding the styles and tenor of the shallow, high-grade mineralization from surface down to depths of up to 400 metres and Pad 6 is ideally situated for further step out holes to understand grade continuity at depth. In particular, short holes from Pad 6 (APC-41 and APC-42) have been targeted to intersect high grades at the contact zone between breccia and porphyry as previously announced in APC-29 which intersected 32 metres @ 10.48 g/t gold equivalent from a downhole depth of 112.10 metres below surface. (see press release dated January 31, 2023)

Deep drilling (APC-49) has recently commenced from Pad 6 with visuals highlighting continuous porphyry and breccia style mineralization from surface to its current depth of 783 metres. Drilling of APC-49 continues as of publication of this release and represents the longest mineralized intercept drilled to date into the Apollo system.

Five additional shallow drill holes have been completed from drill Pads 6 and 7 with fan drilling in various directions extending the outcropping mineralization to the west and northeast. Visual observations indicate continuous mineralization from surface over core lengths ranging from more than 80 metres to more than 425 metres. The Company presently has three diamond drill rigs operating at the Apollo project and additional assay results are expected in the near term.

Two new pads have recently been completed (Pad 9 and Pad 10) with drilling underway from both pads. The pad locations were chosen in order to provide more drilling options to test the potential for westerly and easterly extensions of the shallow portion of the Apollo system.

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.

Metallic Minerals Drills 1,310 g/t Ag Eq within 6.7 Meters of 196 g/t Ag Eq at Caribou Target at the Keno Silver Project in Yukon, Canada and Retains SGS for Inaugural Resource Estimates

Post author By admin
Post date April 10, 2023

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 10, 2023 / Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX.V:MMG)(OTCQB:MMNGF) (“Metallic Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce final results from the 2022 exploration program at its 100% owned high-grade Keno Silver project in the historic Keno Silver District of Yukon, Canada. A total of 642 meters (m) were drilled in six (6) holes at the Caribou target in the Central Keno area to test extensions of known high-grade and bulk-tonnage mineralization. This work was completed as part of a larger 3,265 m drill program focused on target extension drilling at our advanced-stage “resource-ready” targets (Caribou, Formo and Fox) in anticipation of an inaugural NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for the Keno Silver project in 2023.

Highlights

Drilling at the Caribou target continues to successfully extend high-grade silver mineralization both down-dip and south along strike of the known extents of the Caribou structure with a total of 71 intercepts in 5,980 meters of drilling to date.
Hole CH22-01 intersected two separate higher grade vein intervals within a broad zone of bulk tonnage mineralization. From 91.5 to 92.0 meters a 0.5 m interval contained 348 (g/t) silver equivalent (“AgEq”) (see Table 1, Footnote 1) and 125.2 to 125.7 m the hole intercepted 0.5 m of 1,201 g/t Ag Eq bounding a zone of 34.2 m grading 38 g/t Ag Eq.
The southernmost drilling at the Caribou target, first drilled in 2021, continues to demonstrate strong potential for further extension with 1,310 g/t Ag Eq encountered over 0.5 m at a near-surface depth of 44 m in hole CH22-05.
The Company has retained SGS Geological Services to complete the inaugural resource estimate and modelling work is underway.

Metallic Minerals President, Scott Petsel, stated, “The Caribou vein target in the Central Keno Area is a classic example of “Keno-style” high-grade Ag-Pb-Zn vein mineralization and shows excellent potential for resources of significant scale. As one of five near-term resource targets on the property, Caribou has consistently returned grades over 1,000 g/t Ag Eq and, more recently, has been recognized as a potential bulk tonnage target returning widths of mineralization up to 34.2 meters of potentially economic grades in a shallowly dipping configuration.”

Metallic Minerals Corp., Monday, April 10, 2023, Press release picture

“With high-grade results at the Caribou, Formo and Fox area targets, along with the continued delineation of broad bulk tonnage mineralization near surface, we are continuing to demonstrate the extensive exploration potential of the district. We look forward to completing a first resource for the Keno Silver project in the second half of 2023 and are also expecting to announce a resource update on our La Plata Project in Colorado in Q2, following the exceptional drill results announced on February 28^th, 2023.”

John Tumazos Virtual Conference

Metallic Minerals will join fellow Metallic Group company, Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE | OTCQB: PGEZF), during John Tumazos’ Very Independent Research virtual conference, with a joint presentation followed by Q&A from 2:15pm – 3:15pm Pacific Time on April 12^th. To register, click here.

Central Keno Hill Silver District

The central part of the Keno Hill Silver District is host to over 100 million ounces of past production and current Indicated resources in shallow deposits that, to date, have not previously seen systematic exploration to depth or along strike. Central Keno was one of the original discovery areas in the region and hosted the historic producing Keno Hill mine, along with eight other high-grade deposits including those on Metallic Minerals land holdings. Metallic Minerals’ work to date in this area shows the presence of a major structural corridor that is comparable in surface expression and structural setting to the +150 million-ounce Bermingham-Calumet system in the extensively explored western part of the district.

Caribou Target Area

The road accessible Caribou target in the central part of the district is one of the most advanced individual targets at the Keno Silver project. Eighty-three (83) drill holes totalling 5,980 m (a 72 m average hole depth), have been drilled since 2008 at Caribou making it the Keno Silver project’s most drilled target area. The Caribou deposit historically produced very high-grade material grading more than 1,000 g/t silver from near surface and is interpreted to be a significant connecting structure between the main shear structures in the Keno Summit structural corridor. The Caribou deposit spatially occurs within a high-level silver-in-soil anomaly of over 10 g/t Ag Eq that extends over 2.5 km long by 1.5 km in width and that remains open to expansion.

Figure 1 – Keno Silver District Geology and Deposits

Mineralization at the Caribou target consists of high-grade, north-striking Ag-Pb-Zn structures with a shallow 34-degree dip. Exploration on the high-grade vein structure has also defined a surrounding envelope of broader bulk tonnage mineralization. These broader zones of mineralization not only include wide veins but also parallel veinlets, stringers and breccia zones. In the 2021 and 2022 drilling of the broader Caribou zone returned intervals up to 34.2 m wide (averaging 18.2 m), with grades between 35.2 g/t Ag Eq and 134 g/t Ag Eq. These wide widths combined with a shallow dip and a near surface environment (deepest intercept is only 120 m from surface), make this bulk tonnage and high-grade mineralization potentially amendable to low cost, bulk tonnage mining methods.

Similarly, the Fox and Formo targets also show broader zones of mineralization that may be amenable to lower cost mining methods, as was successfully demonstrated in the Keno District at the Hector Calumet and Onek deposits by United Keno Hill Mines in the 1980s¹.

Notes to reported values:

Ag equivalent is presented for comparative purposes using conservative long-term metal prices (all USD): $20.0/oz silver (Ag), $1,800/oz gold (Au), $1.00/lb lead (Pb), $1.40/lb zinc (Zn).
Recovered Silver Equivalent in Table 1 is determined as follows: Ag Eq g/t = [Ag g/t x recovery] + [Au g/t x recovery x Au price/ Ag price] + [Pb % / 10,000 x recovery x Pb price / Ag price] + [Zn% / 10,000 x recovery x Zn price / Ag price].
In the above calculations: 1% = 10,000 ppm = 10,000 g/t.
The following recoveries have been assumed for purposes of the above equivalent calculations: 95% for precious metals (Ag/Au) and 90% for all other listed metals, based on recoveries at similar nearby operations.
Intervals are reported as measured drill intersect lengths and may not represent true width.

Recap of 2022 Exploration at the Keno Silver Project

Metallic Minerals completed 3,265 m meters of diamond drilling in 23 holes at the Keno Silver Project during 2022 with the aim of extending advanced-stage “resource-ready” targets in anticipation of an inaugural resource estimate for the project in 2023. Additionally, LiDAR data collection and ground based geophysics were completed to further support project advancement and target generation.

These final Caribou results from drilling during the 2022 field exploration program caps-off what was an exceptional year at the Keno Silver Project with 138 significant intervals of greater than 100 g/t Ag Eq and 22 intervals over 500 g/t Ag Eq drilled within 23 holes. A robust drill program focused on continued resource expansion and to test new targets is being planned for 2023.

About Metallic Minerals

Metallic Minerals Corp. is a leading exploration and development stage company, The Company is focused on silver and gold in the high-grade Keno Hill and Klondike districts of the Yukon, and copper, silver and other critical minerals in the La Plata mining district in Colorado. Our objective is to create shareholder value through a systematic, entrepreneurial approach to making exploration discoveries, growing resources, and advancing projects toward development.

Metallic Minerals has consolidated the second-largest land position in the historic Keno Hill silver district of Canada’s Yukon Territory, directly adjacent to Hecla Mining’s operations, with more than 300 million ounces of high-grade silver in past production and current M&I resources. Hecla Mining Company, the largest primary silver producer in the USA and third largest in the world, completed the acquisition of Alexco Resources and their Keno Hill operations in September 2022. Hecla is targeting to start production at the Keno Hill operations by Q3 2023.

At the Company’s La Plata project in southwestern Colorado an inaugural NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate in April 2022 returned a significant porphyry copper-silver resource. Results from 2022 expansion drilling intercepted the longest and highest-grade interval ever encountered at La Plata and one of the top intersections for any North American copper project in the past several years. An updated NI 43-101 resource estimate incorporating the latest drilling for La Plata is currently in progress.

Metallic Minerals is also one of the largest holders of alluvial gold claims in the Yukon and is building a production royalty business by partnering with experienced mining operators, including Parker Schnabel of Little Flake Mining from the hit television show Gold Rush on the Discovery Channel.

All of the districts in which Metallic Minerals operates have seen significant mineral production and have existing infrastructure, including power and road access. Metallic Minerals is led by a team with a track record of discovery and exploration success on several major precious and base metal deposits in the region, as well as having large-scale development, permitting and project financing expertise. The Metallic Minerals team has been recognized for its environmental stewardship practices and is committed to responsible and sustainable resource development.

Goldshore Resources Announces Upsized $6 Million Private Placement

Post author By admin
Post date April 5, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 5, 2023) – Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated March 23, 2023 and due to strong investor demand, it is increasing the size of its previously announced brokered private placement offering (the “Offering“) to up to $6,000,000 aggregate gross proceeds of securities of the Company (the “Offered Securities“). The Offering is being conducted by Research Capital Corporation and Eventus Capital Corp., as co-lead agents and joint bookrunners (the “Lead Agents“), on their own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of agents, including Laurentian Bank Securities Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., and Haywood Securities Inc. (together with the Lead Agents, the “Agents“). The Offering consists of the following Offered Securities:

units of the Company (each, a “Unit“) at a price of $0.17 per Unit, comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share“) and one-half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“); and
flow-through units of the Company (each, a “FT Unit“) at a price of $0.195 per FT Unit, comprised of one Common Share that will qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act“) and one-half of one Warrant.

Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.25, for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date (as defined below).

The Company has granted the Agents an option (the “Agents’ Option“), which allows the Agents to offer up to an additional 15% of the Offering, on the same terms as the Offered Securities. The Agents’ Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the Closing Date of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the sale of Units for working capital and future exploration work on its Moss Lake gold deposit in Northwest Ontario, Canada.

The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Units will be used for “Canadian Exploration Expenses” within the meaning of the Tax Act (the “Qualifying Expenditures“), which will be renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2023 to the purchasers of the FT Units in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Units. If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Units for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.

The Offering is scheduled to close on or about the week of April 12, 2023 (the “Closing Date“), or on such date as agreed upon between the Company and the Lead Agents, and is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Offered Securities will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the Closing Date in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The Company has agreed to pay to the Agents a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, subject to a reduction for certain orders on a “president’s list”. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue to the Agents compensation warrants of the Company exercisable for a period of 24 months, to acquire in aggregate that number of common shares of the Company which is equal to 6% of the number of Offered Securities sold under the Offering, subject to a reduction for certain orders on a “president’s list”.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.

Securities for Debt Transaction

The Company also announces that it has entered into an agreement to settle certain outstanding accounts payable in the aggregate amount of $513,157.18 (the “Debt“) owing to a creditor (the “Creditor“) through the issuance of 3,018,572 units (the “Debt Settlement Units“) at a deemed price of $0.17 per Unit (the “Securities for Debt Transaction“). The Debt Settlement Units will have the same terms as the Units issued pursuant to the Offering.

No new control person or insider of the Company will be created pursuant to the Securities for Debt Transaction. This is an arm’s length transaction.

The Company is proposing to issue the Debt Settlement Units to preserve cash to fund future operations. The Company’s board of directors believes that the Securities for Debt Transaction is necessary to provide the Company with a clean balance sheet to attract new capital and provide adequate hard dollar working capital into the second half of 2023.
