A young and newly listed junior with a very interesting gold project nearYellowknife contacted me recently. It’s an interesting company with a historic resource of 85,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 12 g/t, almost $1 million in the bank and a total market cap of under $3 million. They are hard at work doing the groundwork necessary before beginning a drill program.
The company is named Rover Metals (ROVR-V) and they just added their US symbol. The gold is associated with an Archean age iron formation. As Quinton Hennigh has written about in a number of papers, the vast majority of gold on earth comes from Archean age deposits. Gold and iron get along well and you often find them together or nearby. We know that the iron precipitated out of salt water and if that is so, why would gold be any different?
It’s in a target rich environment at Cabin Lake just 110 km northwest of the7 million ounce Giant Gold Mine in Yellowknife and near an all season road scheduled for completion in 2020.
Rover is one of those microcap stocks that will benefit the most from an ongoing bull market in resources. They have money in the bank, a high grade resource of sorts and a tiny market cap. The projects have some exploration results going back over 70 years but could benefit from modern exploration techniques. The price of shares can go up but it’s pretty hard to see how it can go down. Obviously they need to get drilling and start releasing results but in time that will come.
Rover is an advertiser, I have bought shares in the open market and I am biased. For more information on the company you can view their fact sheetand investor presentation. Rover Metals Corp.

VANCOUVER , Feb. 26, 2019 /CNW/ – Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC, OTC: PACXF) (the “Company” or “Pacton“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an acquisition agreement with Frontline Gold Corporation (FGC.V) to acquire additional mineral claims in the Red Lake District, Ontario (the “Property“). These additional mineral claims are located contiguous and to the north of Pacton’s current landholdings and extend to within 3 km of Goldcorp’s newest #3 production shaft. The Property includes limited historical diamond drilling, including an intersection of 24 g/t Au over 1.0 m completed by SkyHarbour Resources in 2003. With this strategic acquisition, Pacton’s expanded land position overlaps with the prolific Balmer Assemblage, known to host significant high-grade mineralization at Pure Gold’s Madsen mine and GoldCorp’s Red Lake and Campbell mines, historically producing over 20M oz. of gold combined. The Property geology contains the contact between Confederation and Balmer Assemblage rock units as well as folded mafic and ultramafic volcanics with mafic and felsic intrusives also present.
Pacton’s Red Lake mineral claims are strategically located between Pure Gold’s Madsen property, including the Wedge Zone, and Great Bear Resource’s Dixie discovery. The property geology is made up of two key packages known to host significant gold mineralization in the district. The Confederation Assemblage and the Balmer Assemblage host the high-grade gold mineralization at Great Bear Resources’ Dixie Project and Pure Gold’s Madsen property, respectively. A high-resolution helicopter magnetics survey is underway to identify D2 structures and folding that are proposed to have significant control on gold mineralization in the district.
Pacton Gold is currently compiling historical data and formulating plans for exploration work in 2019 to advance the project.

TORONTO , Feb. 26, 2019 /CNW/ – Anaconda Mining Inc. (“Anaconda” or the “Company”) – (ANX.TO) (ANXGF) is pleased to provide an update on the development activities at its 100%-owned Goldboro Gold Project (“Goldboro” or the “Project”) in Nova Scotia, Canada . Since publishing the Goldboro preliminary economic assessment (the “PEA”) dated March 2, 2018 and updated on October 25, 2018 , Anaconda has been executing a 10,000-tonne underground bulk sample (the “Bulk Sample”), advancing its evaluation of Goldboro to the feasibility study stage and permitting the Project.
“Less than two years ago, we acquired the Goldboro Gold Project at a tremendous value. In that short period of time, we have produced a positive preliminary economic assessment, registered the project for permitting, completed mining a 10,000-tonne Bulk Sample, and increased the deposit to over 600,000 ounces of Measured and Indicated Resources and over 450,000 ounces of Inferred Resources. We look forward to continued progress in 2019 with the commencement of a feasibility study and the continuation of permitting, with the aim of obtaining the requisite permits to begin construction in 2020.”
~ Dustin Angelo , President and CEO, Anaconda Mining Inc.
Bulk Sample Update
At the end of January 2019 , Anaconda completed the mining phase of the Bulk Sample and the underground mining contractor, Cementation Canada Inc., has demobilized from site. Access to the mine has been secured and site closure activities for the Bulk Sample are scheduled to be completed in the spring. The tonnes extracted for the Bulk Sample came from a combination of development and stoping. A long hole mining method was used to mine three stopes, ranging from one to four metres wide, within belts 1 and 2 of the Boston – Richardson gold system. The stopes tested the use of up-holes and down-holes as well as conventional raising and drop raising. Sill drifts and most of the stope access development was done within mineralized zones of the belts to minimize the amount of waste rock extracted.
The Company intends to barge the material to Point Rousse, Newfoundland , in the second quarter of 2019, once transport conditions are favorable, where the material will be processed at Anaconda’s Pine Cove Mill. The Company will report full Bulk Sample results shortly thereafter.
Commencement of the Goldboro Feasibility Study and Conclusions from Trade-Off Studies
In February 2019 , Anaconda commenced a feasibility study of the Project (the “Study”), which will incorporate the data from the Bulk Sample and include the results of the first 22,000 metres of diamond drilling that was completed from June 2017 to December 2018 . The Company also expects to generate a new mineral resource estimate as part of the Study, which is expected to be completed in Q3 2019. The Company has retained WSP Canada Inc. (“WSP”) to lead the Study and work on the mine design, project infrastructure, and economics. Ausenco Solutions Canada Inc. (“Ausenco”) has also been engaged to support WSP with respect to process optimization and mill design for the Study (Ausenco was involved in the engineering and construction of Atlantic Gold Corporation’s mill at the Moose River Consolidated Project in Nova Scotia ). The Study will also incorporate additional metallurgical testing, performed by Base Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd, based in Kamloops, British Columbia , using samples taken from the Boston – Richardson and East Goldbrook gold systems during the Bulk Sample extraction and recent diamond drilling. The Study is expected to be completed and filed in Q4 2019.
Following the update of the Goldboro Mineral Resource Estimate published in December 2018 , Anaconda initiated certain trade-off studies to determine the optimal mining and milling scenarios for the Study. Given the predominately narrow vein, high-grade nature of the deposit, Anaconda has determined the optimal approach for the Project to be based on the use of selective mining methods at a processing throughput rate of approximately 575 tonnes per day. This confirms the initial mine development and operation scenario contemplated in the PEA, where the Project begins open pit mining for two to three years before transitioning to an underground mining operation for the remaining mine life.
Furthermore, due to the growth of the Mineral Resource Estimate at Goldboro demonstrated from its recent drill programs, and the Company’s confidence in its ability to continue to substantially expand the deposit, Anaconda has optimized its processing strategy for the Study, which will now contemplate a full-scale milling facility at Goldboro that will produce a doré bar. This is different than the processing scenario in the PEA, which was based on shipping concentrate to its Pine Cove Mill in Newfoundland .
Anaconda also evaluated two options for ore processing and processing plant construction: the use of a gravity circuit, followed by concentration of the gravity tails by flotation and gold recovery via leaching; and gravity concentration followed by whole ore leaching. Both options assume a full-scale processing facility at Goldboro , producing a doré bar from gravity and leach concentrates. Anaconda ultimately concluded the preferred scenario to be gravity concentration followed by whole ore leaching, which will be evaluated further as part of the Study.
Permitting Process Update
Since February of 2018, Anaconda has been working through the permitting process in the Province of Nova Scotia , and has engaged the assistance of GHD Limited (“GHD”), who had worked with Atlantic Gold Corporation during its permitting of the Moose River Consolidated Project. In August 2018 , the Company submitted its Environmental Assessment application and is currently compiling further information required by the various regulators in the Terms of the Reference (“TOR”) issued on October 15, 2018 . In addition, the Company has submitted the application for the Crownland Lease and is advancing the applications for a Mineral Lease and Industrial Approval. Based on progress to date and continued communication with relevant government departments and regulators, Anaconda expects to secure all permits by the end of Q1 2020, with the aim of beginning site construction in mid-2020 with commercial production to follow in mid-2021.
A version of this press release will be available in French on Anaconda’s website (www.anacondamining.com) in two to three business days.

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 25, 2019) – Maritime Resources Corp. (TSXV: MAE) (“Maritime” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its recent exploration program at the Whisker Valley gold project, a new exploration target located 10 kilometres north of the Company’s high-grade Hammerdown gold project in the Baie Verte Mining District, Newfoundland & Labrador.
Whisker Valley Assay Interval Highlights
Maritime’s initial 650m diamond drill program at Whisker Valley consisted of 4 wide-spaced holes completed in late 2018. The holes targeted a series of high-grade gold, sulphide-bearing quartz veins (Gary, Ben and Jackson) that were trenched and sampled over a 250 metre strike length (see press release dated January 22nd, 2018).
Highlights from the 2018 exploration program include (Refer to Table 1 for complete results):
16.04 grams per tonne (“gpt”) gold (“Au”) over 0.97 m, including 36.6 gpt Au over 0.40 m in drill hole WH-18-03 (Ben vein)
24.06 gpt Au over 0.33 m in drill hole WH-18-04 (Gary vein)
15.18 gpt Au over 0.29 m in drill hole WH-18-02 (Jackson vein)
3.16 gpt Au over 3.19 m in drill hole WH-18-01 (Gary vein)
Maritime President & CEO, Garett Macdonald adds: “Our initial drilling program at Whisker Valley was very successful in identifying high-grade gold contained in sulphide mineralization below each of the three identified veins. Early indications are that the mineralization at Whisker Valley shares many similarities to our nearby Hammerdown deposit. Maritime will continue to evaluate Whisker’s potential over the coming months as it represents an exciting new target for exploration.”
Geological Description
Mineralization at Whisker Valley consists of a series of narrow high-grade sulfide-bearing quartz veins dipping between 60-70 degrees that occur along the contacts of a series of east-west trending mafic and felsic dykes intruding the host Burlington granodiorite. Alteration zones characterized by moderate to strong hematization, sericitization and chloritization form a 2-3m wide envelope around the mineralized quartz veins. Re-healed brecciated zones proximal to the veins are indicative of a brittle structural environment. Localized fault offsets of the veins have been identified in the Ben, Jackson and Gary trenches.
The gold-bearing quartz veins at Whisker Valley are epigenetic and of similar style and orientation to that seen at Hammerdown. Maritime is currently evaluating the historical exploration work to help inform the next phase of work at Whisker Valley.
In early 2018, a detailed Induced Polarization (IP) survey was completed by Maritime, which recognized the sulphide-bearing gold veins (see press release dated September 26, 2018). This survey extended the potential strike length of the vein system from the 250 m length exposed in the trenches to about 500 metres. The IP anomalies associated with the veins remain strong at the 50 m depth, the vertical limit of detection for this survey.
The drill hole traces are shown on the IP Anomaly map (Figure 1.), indicating the position of the three known vein systems at Whisker, shown as red lineaments in IP Anomaly “A”. The drill holes are also plotted on the Whisker Valley Trench map (Figure 2) and the major intersections are shown, along with some of the 2017 trench channel sample results (see press release dated February 13th, 2018).
Assay Results
Each diamond drill hole encountered a number of gold bearing veins with higher grade assay intervals detailed in Table 1 below. Significantly, drilling on each of the Jackson, Ben and Gary veins encountered high-grade gold zones. This included 15.2 gpt over 0.29 m in the Jackson vein (WH-18-02), 16.0 gpt over 0.97 m in the Ben vein which included a higher-grade interval of 36.6 gpt over 0.40 m (WH-18-03). Drilling on the Gary vein identified a high-grade interval of 24.1 gpt over 0.33 m (WH-18-04) and a separate, thicker interval grading 3.2 gpt over 3.19 m (WH-18-01) indicating that wider gold zones are also present at Whisker Valley.

Next Steps
This first phase of diamond drilling at Whisker has returned highly encouraging results and was successful in identifying high-grade gold mineralization to vertical depths of between 50 to 100 metres. Additional drilling at Whisker will target the full extent of the 500 meter long IP Anomaly “A” and test other portions of the vein system. Some drill testing of IP Anomalies “B, C & D” is intended where gold soil geochemical anomalies are coincident. Maritime is currently evaluating these results and is planning for a follow up drill program in the Spring of 2019.
Analytical Procedures
All samples assayed and pertaining to this press release were completed by Eastern Analytical Limited (“EAL”) located at Springdale, Newfoundland and Labrador. EAL is an ISO 17025:2005 accredited laboratory for a defined scope of procedures. EAL bears no relationship to Maritime Resources. Samples are delivered in sealed plastic bags to EAL by Maritime field crews where they are dried, crushed, and pulped. Samples are crushed to approximately 80% passing a minus 10 mesh and split using a riffle splitter to approximately 250 grams. A ring mill is used to pulverize the sample split to 95% passing a minus 150 mesh. Sample rejects are securely stored at the EAL site for future reference. A 30-gram representative sample is selected for analysis from the 250 grams after which EAL applies a fire assay fusion followed by acid digestion and analysis by atomic absorption for gold analysis. Other metals were analyzed by applying an acid digestion and 34 element ICP analysis finish. EAL runs a comprehensive QA/QC program of standards, duplicates and blanks within each sample stream.

Maritime Resources holds a 100% interest in the Green Bay Property, including the former Hammerdown gold mine, located near the Baie Verte Mining District and Springdale, Newfoundland and Labrador. The Green Bay Property hosts a resource estimates on two deposits, the Hammerdown and the Orion deposits. Hammerdown contains measured and indicated resources of 925,670 tonnes grading 10.6 gpt for 315,535 ounces of gold and inferred resources of 1,557,000 tonnes grading 7.53 gpt for 377,000 ounces of gold. The Orion deposit contains measured and indicated resources of 1,096,500 tonnes grading 4.47 gpt for 157,600 ounces of gold and inferred resources of 1,288,000 tonnes grading 5.44 gpt for 225,300 ounces.
CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimate. The resource models used Ordinary Krig grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids. A cut-off grade of 3.0 gpt gold over 1.2 meters was used for reporting resources with capping of gold grades at 125 gpt at Hammerdown and 50 gpt at Orion. A specific gravity of 2.84 was applied.
For additional information relating to the Hammerdown gold project, refer to the NI 43-101 technical report entitled “Pre-Feasibility Study Technical Report, Green Bay Property” with an effective date of March 2, 2017, which is available on the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. These mineral resource estimates include inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that these inferred mineral resources will be converted to the measured and indicated categories through further drilling, or into mineral reserves, once economic considerations are applied.

The frog in slowly boiling water fails to recognize the changes happening and eventually gets boiled. The end result of all democracies is communism. It is merely that this is a slow process of degradation—with many reversals on the way. The slowness also creates moral fogginess. Eventually a society must wake up to a thoroughly indoctrinated society, a kind similar to Huxley’s “Brave New World.” It eventually, must go to the next phase, that of Orwell’s “1984.”
In the US of 1950s, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would have been seen as a stand-up comedian. She is, unfortunately, a rising political star.
As time has passed, I have come to see Trump as a real leader. Moreover, he has made me seriously think about what makes someone intellectually superior. Perhaps those who operate out of instincts based on experience are better than those who have reached their conclusions using detailed reasoning, with the former displaying a more complex understanding of life.
