EMX Executes Agreement to Sell Its Gold Line Project in Sweden to Gold Line Resources for Royalty and Equity Interests

Vancouver, British Columbia, April 4th, 2019 (TSX Venture: EMX; NYSE American: EMX) – EMX Royalty Corporation (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce the execution of an arm’s length purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) for the sale of thirteen exploration licenses (the “Properties”) comprising EMX’s Gold Line Project (the “Project”) in central Sweden to Gold Line Resources Ltd. (“GLR”), a private British Columbia company. The Agreement provides EMX with a 9.9% interest in GLR, advance royalty payments, and a 3% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty interest in the Properties.
The Properties host mesothermal lode gold and/or intrusion related gold systems positioned along the well-known “Gold Line” in the Skellefteå mining region of central Sweden. The Properties contain a series of early stage gold exploration targets to more advanced projects with drill defined zones of gold mineralization. The region was the subject of intensive exploration by the Swedish government in the 1980s that led to the discovery of a series of gold deposits and occurrences along a roughly 200 kilometer long north-south trend west of Skellefteå. This belt became known as the “Gold Line”, where several mines have since been developed. As well, there are ongoing exploration programs at the nearby Barsele project (operated as a joint venture between Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Barsele Minerals Corp.), and the Fäboliden development project (Dragon Mining Ltd.).
EMX assembled its land position in late 2016 and early 2017 prior to an increase in activity by competitor companies. Since that time, EMX has been compiling historic information on the Project and executing reconnaissance sampling and mapping programs in order to develop drill targets. EMX has now identified a number of prioritized exploration targets that will be further advanced by GLR.
PI Financial Corp. is acting as financial advisor to GLR in connection with the Agreement.
Commercial Terms Overview (all dollar amounts in CDN, unless otherwise noted).

  • At closing, EMX will transfer to GLR its thirteen exploration licenses in the Skellefteå area.
  • At closing, GLR will issue to EMX that number of common shares of GLR that represents a 9.9% equity ownership in GLR; GLR will have the continuing obligation to issue additional shares of GLR to EMX to maintain its 9.9% interest in GLR, at no additional cost to EMX, until GLR has raised $5,000,000 in equity; thereafter EMX will have the right to participate pro-rata in future financings at its own cost to maintain its 9.9% interest in GLR.
  • At closing, GLR will reimburse EMX for its 2019-2020 license fees, which have been paid in advance and total US$101,390.
  • GLR will also commit to raise $600,000 within 6 months of the signing date to fund exploration programs in 2019 on the Project. GLR will then commit to raising another $500,000 within two years of the closing date of the Agreement, and will be responsible for maintaining the Properties in good standing according to Swedish mining regulations.
  • EMX will receive an uncapped 3% NSR royalty on the Properties. Within six years of the closing date, GLR has the right to buy down up to 1% of the royalty owed to EMX (leaving EMX with a 2% NSR) by paying EMX 2,500 ounces of gold, or its cash equivalent.
  • EMX will receive annual advance royalty (“AAR”) payments of 30 ounces of gold on the Properties, commencing on the second anniversary of the closing, with each AAR payment increasing by 5 ounces of gold per year up to a maximum of 75 ounces of gold per year. These AAR payments may be made in gold bullion, their cash equivalents, or their value equivalent in shares of GLR, subject to certain conditions.

Overview of Properties. The Properties comprise 54,591 hectares of exploration licenses, which form a linear trend spanning 170 kilometers from north to south. These include EMX’s Storjuktan, Paubacken, Paubacken Norra, Blabarliden, Rotjarnen and Kankberg Norra license groups. Each of the license areas was acquired due to the presence of either reported gold mineralization or geological characteristics similar to other known gold occurrences and deposits in the area. Several of the EMX projects have outcropping or drill-defined zones of gold mineralization from historic programs that are in need of further assessment. This includes a historic intercept of 6 meters averaging 11.2 g/t gold in drill hole DH07-23 (true width unknown), drilled by Lappland Goldminers AB in 20071 within EMX’s Blabarliden license.
On the EMX licenses, gold mineralization is generally hosted by Svekofennian (Mid-Proterozoic) aged granitoid rocks and supracrustal sediments. The sediments are dominated by fine grained siliciclastics which include sulfide-rich black shales. Some carbonate units are also present. Gold tends to occur at, or near, the contacts between granitoid intrusive rocks and the supracrustal sedimentary rock units.
Styles of mineralization on the EMX licenses range from sheeted vein swarms developed along contacts between granitoids and metasedimentary rocks, to mineralized skarns rich in diopside and other calc-silicates. In one case, mineralization appears to be associated with a porphyritic felsic intrusion. Mineralization also tends to be developed along major structural features and appears concentrated in fold hinge environments and prominent shear zones.
EMX plans to work closely with GLR in the coming field season to continue to develop its exploration targets, and to prepare the portfolio for scout drill testing.
Dr. Eric P. Jensen, CPG, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and employee of the Company, has reviewed, verified and approved the disclosure of the technical information contained in this news release.
About EMX. EMX leverages asset ownership and exploration insight into partnerships that advance our mineral properties, with EMX receiving pre-production payments and retaining royalty interests. EMX complements its royalty generation initiatives with royalty acquisitions and strategic investments.

MIRAMONT Issues Lying Press Release

Mar 29, 2019For those who have not yet read Basic Investing in Resource Stocks, you should consider it. I predict the big collapse to come soon, very soon followed by what I term “The Big Reset”. Martin Armstrong just put out a piece essentially saying the same thing titled, The Financial Panic of 2019?I realized when I wrote my book in January of this year that I was climbing way out on a limb and sawing it off behind me. I am going to look either very stupid or very bright and only time will tell.With the advent of the Internet, control of the narrative has changed. For all of history the elite controlled the narrative. They told the masses, the mob as it were, how to think and how to vote. The Internet has changed all that. You can still lie to the throng but since most of the world has what is effectively free communication, whatever lie the elite try to pass off will soon be countered by some blogger somewhere who never had a voice before the Internet.Only two days after the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate some imaginary collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in May of 2017, FBI agent Peter Strzok texted his paramour Lisa Page and said, “There’s no big there, there.”Now we have an announcement from William Barr, Attorney General of the United States that specifically stated, “The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.” In other words, it took Mueller almost two years to figure out what a Trump hating FBI agent knew right from the gitgo.Those who listen to the mainstream media may not have known the facts but anyone with a device similar to or better than a $200 smart phone had access all along to what was essentially a coup D’état on the part of chunks of the United States government against the democratically elected president of the US.And in a masterpiece of obfuscation Director Barr and William Mueller sorta ignored the very real involvement by Russia in the 2016 election in the form of the Russian Dossier made up of whole cloth by the Democrats, the FBI, the DOJ and the CIA.The elite long since lost control of the narrative. If you actually look around you can find a video of Victoria Nuland bragging about how the US spent $5 Billion, that’s Billion with a capital B, interfering with the democratic process in Ukraine.Charging Russia with interference in the US election of 2016 after the US pissed away $5 billion interfering in Ukrainian elections is nothing short of remarkable but not quite as remarkable as Donald Trump demonstrating the total and absolute control that Benjamin Netanyahu has over the US political system by his suggestion that Israel be allowed to permanently take control of the Golan Heights.I’ve written before how Sheldon Adelson essentially bought Donald Trump for a $35 million contribution to his political campaign in the 2016 election.The Zionist stranglehold on the American political system is so complete that the very first bill considered by Congress in the latest session would forbid Americans to boycott Israel. All this information is on the web.The elite have lost control of the narrative and alternative points of view are available for anyone willing to do a little research.Bill Pincus, President of Miramont Resources told me they began drilling in Southern Peru on the 22nd of January. The company planned nine drill holes in three major targets. It would take 3-4 weeks to get assays back. Three holes would be released at a time, representing each of the three targets.There was a chance assays for the first three holes would be back and released by PDAC. I have kept in close contact with Bill Pincus and been told for two months that those assays for the first three holes were not back.He lied.Yesterday, March 28th Miramont announced the results from six holes, not three as I have been told all along. And if you look closely you will find no assay results from the first three holes. But those should have been back and released a month ago. How did the company go from announcing three holes at a time to announcing that six holes had been assayed but only giving numbers for holes four, five and six.Easy. The assays from holes one, two and three were total duds and almost certainly were back a month ago. Bill Pincus knew that and failed to not only release the poor holes, he didn’t mention a word to Quinton Hennigh or the Board until this last weekend. And you have to look very closely at the press release to realize that while it talks about six assays, it only shows bits and bats from three holes.Pre-Internet days it was common for management of junior mining companies to get poor results and to sit on them in the hopes that later drill results would bail them out. I highly suggest that anyone working with me not pull that trick because it takes the decision to buy or sell shares out of the hands of investors where it belongs and allows corrupt management to essentially lie to investors.Drilling tells you two things. It tells you where the mineralization is and where it is not. It is just as important to know where there isn’t any ore as it is to know where there is ore.Putting out piss poor results is part and parcel of exploration. But it allows investors to reconsider if they really want to own the shares. If Miramont shareholders knew a month ago that the first three holes were barren they had the choice of selling their shares or buying more or just sitting.Since it is their money, it should have been their decision. By hiding the results of the first three holes Bill Pincus cost investors both money and the right to determine what to do with their shares.In simple terms, it was lying. I devoted an entire chapter in my latest book talking about dealing with liars. I have lost the most money investing in companies where management wouldn’t tell the truth. I had a major investment in Miramont and like 100% of other Miramont shareholders; I lost 66% of the value of my shares yesterday.Lying to me is a really bad idea.I sold a lot of the shares of Miramont I had bought in PPs and in the open market yesterday. I want to see major changes in how Miramont announces drill results. A change in management would help.Do your own due diligence.Miramont ResourcesMONT-C $.16 (Mar 28, 2019)MRRMF-OTCBB 54.8 million sharesMiramont Resources website###Bob MoriartyPresident: 321goldArchives321gold Ltd

RIVERSIDE Stakes New Concession in Sonora and Samples High-Grade Gold

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Riverside Resources Inc. (“Riverside” or the “Company”) (RRI.V) (RVSDF) (R99.F) is pleased to report initial results from the Company’s first-phase exploration program at the recently staked Sandy Project (the “Project”) located in northwestern Sonora, Mexico. Riverside continues to leverage its knowledge and experience in NW Mexico to cost-effectively acquire new prospective concessions with strong potential for new discoveries.

Riverside geologists have completed near surface sampling, mapping and geophysics to work up initial target areas at the Project. Riverside’s exploration team is targeting intrusion related and orogenic gold mineralization hosted by altered granite and linked with large structures adjacent to gneiss bedrock.

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “The Sandy Project was a project the Company staked over a prospective area known to us from our past work in Sonora. We are pleased with the results from our first pass on the Sandy Project. Gold appears associated with large structures, intrusions and is an exciting potential step in the geologic deposit modeling for Sonora. We plan to follow up these positive results with some mapping and more sampling in 2019.”

The sampling done to date by Riverside has been concentrated on two areas in the center of the project with past historical mine workings (see Figure 1 below) associated with felsic intrusive stock and gneiss. A sample from one of these old workings returned 38.8 g/t Au. Chip channel samples of 1.5 meter in length returned gold results of 9.3 g/t, 4.7 g/t and 3.7 g/t Au. A total of 71 samples have been analyzed so far and further work at Sandy is anticipated to continue to define the structural nature and intrusion association to the gold.

Figure 1: Sandy Gold Target Areas and Geochemical Results.

Higher gold grades appear to be associated with intersecting structures within strongly foliated granitic intrusive bedrock. Primary structures strike NW-SE and dip between 40 and 70 degrees to the east in a general structural character with similar orientation and style to some of the shear zone gold mines in the region. Other smaller faults are noted striking roughly north-south and dipping steeply to the east which cut the main shear zone and could possibly hide extensive expansions of the gold system under shallow cover. The cross structures have been intruded by mafic dikes that show pervasive propylitic alteration indicating potential deeper intrusion related gold mineralization. The highest-grade gold material was found associated with a set of variously dipping felsic dikes which could be associated with the intrusive system. Silicification and minor quartz veining is noted associated with the structures and with through-going vein mineralization. The wall rock associated with these structures often shows sericitic and silica alteration.

Of note while visiting the property are the vast placer-gold workings immediately north of the project area. The source of the placer gold has not been determined and may be derived from intrusive bedrock within the Sandy project.

As can be seen in the district summary map (see Figure 1 above), the Riverside rock-chip samples confirm the existence of gold mineralization within the central part of the Company’s concession.

Qualified Person & QA/QC:

The scientific and technical data contained in this news release pertaining to the Sandy Project was reviewed and approved by Freeman Smith, P.Geo, a non-independent qualified person to Riverside Resources, who is responsible for ensuring that the geologic information provided in this news release is accurate and who acts as a “qualified person” under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The rock chip samples collected by Riverside’s field crew at the Sandy Project were taken from 4 main showings on the western slopes of the property, with most individual samples consisting of composites of bedrock fragments hammer-chipped from 0.5 and 1.5-metre-long intervals across rock faces showing evidence of alteration and silicification. The highest-grade sample which assayed 38.8 g/t Au was a select grab sample of loose rock found within a small underground working which are believed to date back to the 1960’s. The one grab sample is not representative of the mineralization that was chip-sampled from actual outcrops, however, they do support Riverside’s view that the Sandy property has excellent potential for the discovery of intrusion-related gold and silver mineralization. All of Riverside’s rock samples were analyzed at the Hermosillo and Vancouver laboratories of Bureau Veritas where gold content was determined by fire assaying with atomic adsorption finish and ICP-mass spectrometry was used to analyze for 45 other elements. For quality control purposes, three standard samples were included with the batch of 71 field samples.

GREAT BEAR Drills Multiple High-Grade Gold Veins in Hinge Zone Including 30.15 g/t Gold Over 7.25 m

 

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 21, 2019) – Great Bear Resources (TSXV: GBR) (the “Company” or “Great Bear”), today reported drill results from the Dixie Hinge Zone (“DHZ”) and Dixie Limb Zone (“DL”) at its 100% owned Dixie Project in the Red Lake District of Ontario.

Drilling continues to test along strike and at depth of the DHZ. Some of the DHZ drill holes also cross the adjacent DL at shallow depths and hence Great Bear is able to test both zones with the same drill holes. Hinge Zone drill results are provided in Table 1. Highlights of current drilling include:

  • Drill hole DHZ-031 intersected four significant gold bearing quartz veins along a 141 metre wide zone of increased quartz veining and alteration in the DHZ vein system.
  • Gold-bearing vein intercepts from DHZ-031 include:

a) 7.25 metres of 30.15 g/t gold, which includes 1.50 metres of 130.49 g/t gold,

b) 4.00 metres of 11.72 g/t gold, and

c) 0.50 metres of 60.72 g/t gold.

  • The high grade intercepts in DHZ-031 occur 20-60 metres west of previously reported drill hole DHZ-023 which included 3.40 metres of 31.60 g/t gold (see news release of February 21, 2019).
  • 26 of 42 drill holes (62%) completed by Great Bear along 240 metres of strike length of the DHZ that has been drilled to date have intersected intervals containing greater than 15 g/t gold.
  • Results of shallow drilling of the Dixie Limb Zone are also provided in Table 2.Highlights include 39.20 metres of 2.07 g/t gold starting at approximately 25 metres depth, including 9.20 metres of 5.43 g/t gold which includes 0.70 metres of 20.46 g/t gold.

Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, “The Hinge Zone continues to rapidly expand as we keep stepping out along strike and at depth. In our most recent results, drill hole DHZ-031 intersected a gold-bearing quartz vein network consisting of multiple high grade veins within a 141 metre (462 foot) wide drill interval. All current drilling is designed to cross the Hinge Zone at approximately right angles, meaning the interval widths are approximate true widths. The vertical depth of the DHZ-031 intervals ranges from approximately 60 to 190 metres from the surface. The scale and strength of near-surface multi-veined gold mineralization at the Hinge Zone continues to impress.”

An updated long section through the Hinge Zone is provided in Figure 1, showing the location of current reported drill intercepts. Images of high grade gold mineralization from DHZ-031 are shown in Figure 2.

The Company continues to undertake a fully funded, 30,000 metre drill program that is expected to continue through 2019. In order to accelerate the program, a second drill rig was added in early 2019. Approximately 13,000 metres of drilling remain in the current program.

 * reported width is determined to be 90-95% of true width based on intersection points of the drill hole intercept with the geological model and oriented drill core data.

Drilling in the Dixie Limb continues to define shallow, wide intervals of gold mineralization, including high grade sub-intervals. The DL drill intervals are presented separately in Table 2. As drill holes like DHZ-026 are collared north of the DL and drill southwards into the DHZ at depth, these holes carry intervals from both zones.

Two exploratory step-out drill holes, DL-038 and DL-039 have encountered a new gold-mineralized silicified sediment zone similar to the DL. These holes were drilled from the DL across the D2 axial planar fault that divides the DL from the DHZ towards the south, into an area east of the DHZ. Results are included along with DL drill results in Table 2. These intercepts may represent a new zone of gold mineralized sediments, or may be an offset continuation of the Dixie Limb Zone in the footwall of the fault. Follow-up drilling is required to characterize this new discovery.

Two exploratory step-out drill holes, DHZ-024 and DHZ-025 were also completed east of the Hinge Zone fold closure (outside of the Hinge Zone) and encountered anomalous gold values of 0.92 metres of 1.46 g/t gold and 0.50 metres of 1.52 g/t gold, respectively, confirming gold is also present in this new area. Follow-up drilling is required to determine if significant gold-bearing quartz veining is also developed in this new area.

About Great Bear

The Dixie property is located approximately 15 minutes’ drive along Highway 105 from downtown Red Lake, Ontario. The Red Lake mining district has produced over 30,000,000 ounces of gold and is one of the premier mining districts in Canada, benefitting from major active mining operations including the Red Lake Gold Mine of Goldcorp Inc., plus modern infrastructure and a skilled workforce. The Dixie property covers a drill and geophysically defined 10 kilometre gold mineralized structure similar to that hosting other producing gold mines in the district. In addition, Great Bear is also earning a 100% royalty-free interest in the West Madsen, Pakwash, Dedee and Sobel properties, which cover regionally significant gold-controlling structures and prospective geology. All of Great Bear’s Red Lake projects are accessible year-round through existing roads.

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located in Red Lake Ontario. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to SGS Canada Inc. in Red Lake, Ontario, and Activation Laboratories in Ancaster Ontario, both of which are accredited mineral analysis laboratories, for analysis. All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 3.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Selected samples with visible gold are also analyzed with a standard 1kg metallic screen fire assay. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Great Bear’s quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC). No QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein.

MILES FRANKLIN As March 29th Approaches Central Banks Around the World Are Buying Gold – WHY?

 

David’s Commentary (In Blue)
I am on vacation this week and most of next week. I will be publishing my column just once this week and, only on Wednesday next week. I plan to be back to twice a week in April.
China just printed a trillion new dollars – in one month. Japan has kept their economy afloat for years with money creation – they buy a majority of their debt (bonds) every year, and stocks too. The Fed does whatever it has to keep the economy going, starting with their low interest rate policy. I’ll get back to this point shortly.
But first, Jim Sinclair pointed out how unrealistic it is to expect fiat paper to continue to be a store of value in the future. This is a charade that must come to an end. Of course the sixty-four-thousand-dollar question is “when?”
A friend of mine is my personal banker. A while ago I told him I wanted a six-figure line of credit. I didn’t have a need for it, but I thought it would be nice to have, just in case. He said the bank needed collateral so I decided to use some of my gold as backing for the line of credit. To my surprise, he would only allow me 60% of the value of the gold. I didn’t mind that the gold would be stored in the bank’s vault but it rubbed me the wrong way that the bank regulators did not allow banks to use gold as collateral at market value.
According to the Basil III Standards, gold is not as good as cash or government bonds.Isn’t that ridiculous. However, that’s about to change in April.
The BIS ruling states that Central banks and commercial banks will necessarily value their “financial” and real gold at market price.
The reason the Fed values its gold on its asset side at only $42 per ounce is because the gold is valued at book value by the Treasury, and the Fed’s gold is actually only gold certificates valued at no more than the statutory price of their issuance in 1934 which matches the book value of the Treasury gold. Will the Treasury revalue its physical gold at FRBNY and Fort Knox? Will the Treasury allow the Fed’s gold certificates to be valued at market? What are the implications if they don’t? Will they be forced to “audit” their physical gold holdings, that many believe are no longer there? This should be interesting. But finally, gold will be able to be used as collateral at market value.
Jay Taylor: Under “Basel III” Rules, Gold Becomes Money!
March 17, 2019
Excepted from Jay Taylor’s latest newsletter,
This also raises the question with regard to how much gold the U.S. actually holds as opposed to what it claims to hold. James Sinclair has always argued that the only way the world can overcome the debt that is strangling the global economy is to remonetize gold on the balance sheets of central banks at a price in many thousands of dollars higher. This would mean a major change in the global monetary system away from the dollar, as China has been pushing for the last decade or so.
If banks own and possess gold bullion, they can use that asset as equity and thus this will enable them to print more money. It may be no coincidence that as March 29th has been approaching banks around the world have been buying huge amounts of physical gold and taking delivery. For the first time in 50 years, central banks bought over 640 tons of gold bars last year, almost twice as much as in 2017 and the highest level raised since 1971, when President Nixon closed the gold window and forced the world onto a floating rate currency system.
It seems quite clear that someone or some group of individuals are motivated to cap the price of gold. Profit is a motive. In JPMorgan’s case, they have made billions by shorting gold and silver. The US Treasury and the Fed love to see cheap gold. A rising gold price usually is accompanied by rising interest rates and that is not in their best interest. But here is another reason, and it is tied to the new Basel 3 gold revisions.
Financial analysis published two weeks ago by a major Italian newspaper, Il Sole / 24 Ore (The Sun / 24 Hours), asserted frankly that central banks have been using gold futures and derivatives to suppress the monetary metal’s price so they can obtain more of the metal less expensively in advance of its remonetization under new rules promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements to take effect March 29.
Of course the new BIS rules, the “Basel 3” standards, declaring gold in the vault to be a superior asset, equivalent to cash and government bonds, are not news. What’s news here is that a mainstream financial news organization has nailed the deception and intrigue of central banks and accused them of rigging the international gold market.
Il Sole/24 Ore may be the first mainstream financial news organization to suggest that central banks are rigging the market so they might obtain more gold in anticipation of remonetizing it and pushing its price up, but the newspaper isn’t the first to reach this conclusion. The U.S. economists and fund managers Paul Brodsky and Lee Quaintance hypothesized as much in a study published in 2012 and called to your attention by GATA.
[Excepted from Jay Taylor’s latest newsletter]
In 2018, central banks added nearly 23 million ounces of gold, up 74% from 2017. This is the highest annual purchase rate increase since 1971, and the second-highest rate in history. Russia was the biggest buyer. And not surprisingly, the lion’s share of gold is flowing into central banks of countries that are in the sights of America’s killing machine-the Military Industrial Complex that Eisenhower warned us about in 1958.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), located in Basal, Switzerland, is often referred to as the central bankers’ bank. Related to this issue of central bank hoarding of gold is the fact that on March 29 the BIS will permit central banks to count the physical gold it holds (marked to market) as a reserve asset just the same as it allows cash and sovereign debt instruments to be counted.
There has been a long-term view that China and other nations dishoarding dollars in favor of gold have been quite happy about western banks trashing the gold price through the synthetic paper markets. But one has to wonder if that might not change, once physical gold is marked to market for the sake of enlarging bank balance sheets.
This also raises the question with regard to how much gold the U.S. actually holds as opposed to what it claims to hold. James Sinclair has always argued that the only way the world can overcome the debt that is strangling the global economy is to remonetize gold on the balance sheets of central banks at a price in many thousands of dollars higher. This would mean a major change in the global monetary system away from the dollar, as China has been pushing for the last decade or so.
If banks own and possess gold bullion, they can use that asset as equity and thus this will enable them to print more money. It may be no coincidence that as March 29th has been approaching banks around the world have been buying huge amounts of physical gold and taking delivery. For the first time in 50 years, central banks bought over 640 tonnes of gold bars last year, almost twice as much as in 2017 and the highest level raised since 1971, when President Nixon closed the gold window and forced the world onto a floating rate currency system.
But as Chris Powell of GATA noted, that in itself is not news. The move toward making gold equal to cash and bonds was anticipated several years ago. However, what is news is the realization by a major Italian Newspaper, II Sole/24 Ore, that “synthetic gold,” or “paper gold,” has been used to suppress the price of gold, thus enabling countries and their central banks to continue to buy gold and build up their reserves at lower and lower prices as massive amounts of artificially-created “synthetic gold” triggers layer upon layer of artificially lower priced gold as unaware private investors panic out of their positions.
This worthwhile commentary from Jay, which I’ve read in its entirety, was posted on the Zero Hedge website in abridged form at 11:29 a.m. EDT on Sunday morning — and the first reader that dropped it in my in-box was Judy Sturgis. Another link to it is here.
I write about bubbles and interest rates a lot. Recently a Fed bigwig wrote an article that stated the Fed cannot normalize policy EVER without blowing up all of the bubbles in the financial system. Keeping interest rates this low fosters speculation and will push the financial bubbles even further into never-never land. When this all comes to an end, it will be horrific. What better way to prepare for the inevitable than to own gold and silver? The bubbles are real. The debasement of currency and bonds are real. None of this is imagined. The Fed understands this and the danger in keeping rates low, but they finally are getting around to admitting that they have no choice.
Phoenix Capital
A Fed Insider Comes Clean on the Everything Bubble
The Fed just realized two things:
1)  It cannot normalize policy EVER without blowing up the Everything Bubble/ financial system.
2)  The Fed is well behind the curve when it comes to dealing with the next downturn.
Regarding #1, we’ve had some developments in the last month.
Recently, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan published an article on one of the Fed’s websites outlining the risks to the corporate bond market.
U.S. nonfinancial corporate debt as a percentage of GDP is now higher than the prior peak reached at the end of 2008…Nonfinancial corporate bonds outstanding in the U.S. grew from approximately $2.2 trillion in 2008 to approximately $5.7 trillion at year-end 2018…
Source: The Dallas Fed
Kaplan is here admitting that the US corporate space is now MORE leveraged to the real economy than it was in 2008. He notes, that as a result of this, the US economy is MUCH more sensitive to interest rates.
An elevated level of corporate debt, along with the high level of U.S. government debt, is likely to mean that the U.S. economy is much more interest rate sensitive than it has been historically.
Source: The Dallas Fed
Even more astonishing Kaplan stated that THIS was the reason why the Fed has decided to stop hiking interest rates!
In January I suggested this was the primary reason why the Fed made such an abrupt U-turn regarding monetary policy. It’s truly extraordinary that a Fed President is confirming this in public.
Remember, the primary mandate of the Fed is to maintain financial stability. This inherently means downplaying risks/ potential threats to the financial system/economy. So as much as you or I would like the Fed to be bluntly honest, the fact is that the Fed has to sugarcoat things to avoid panics.
With that in mind, the above admission by Fed President Kaplan is BEYOND extraordinary. Here we have the head of a regional Federal Bank admitting on record that the financial system, specifically the corporate bond market, is now MORE leveraged than it was in 2008 as direct result of Fed policy.
Even more astonishing for a Fed official, Kaplan is admitting that the US economy is now much more sensitive to interest rates. Put another way, the entire US economy/ financial system has become one gigantic bubble that requires extreme monetary policy (extraordinarily low interest rates) to NOT blow up.
This is literally the definition of the Everything Bubble.
If you aren’t actively taking steps to prepare for this, you need to start NOW.
On that note, we are putting together an Executive Summary outlining all of these issues as well as what’s coming down the pike when the Everything Bubble bursts.
It will be available exclusively to our clients. If you’d like to have a copy delivered to your inbox when it’s completed, you can join the wait-list here.
Best Regards
If you believe that there must be an endgame to all of this debt, money creation, and bubble-inducing madness, then I suggest that you also consider the following inevitable result on the precious metals market. Let me start by giving you an example. We have a client whose net worth is more than $350,000,000. He has already purchased $10,000,000 worth of gold. At the first sign of a credit collapse, interest rates rising rapidly out of control or of the dollar falling fast (having lost its Petro Dollar or Reserve Currency status), he is prepared to purchase an additional $50,000,000 worth of gold. If we had to go into the marketplace today and place an order of that size I don’t think we could fill it – at least not immediately. That would be just one order from one client.
When it becomes clear that the time to own gold and silver is actually upon us, one of two things will happen. The metals may not be available at all, you will have to pay a great deal more, and wait to take delivery.
We have already experienced several periods when gold or silver were not available from the primary distributors (Mints, Refiners, etc.). They were sold out and backordered. This happened when the prices dropped too low and while the demand rose. But when there is a stampede to buy gold and silver that is not precipitated by low prices, but rather by rapidly rising prices fostered by greed and fear of a collapse in the currency or credit markets, the demand will be much, much greater. You better have a very strong relationship with your dealer and hope that they can put you near the top of what will be a very long list of orders. This is not a scare tactic, it is a fact. It is exactly how the market will work. It will freeze up and supply will vanish, prices will rise. What is an ounce of gold or silver in scarce supply worth when people are desperate to unload their dollars to purchase it? Ask the people in Venezuela.
Are confident that you know how this must end up? The facts are adding up pointing to a very unhappy ending that is moving closer by the day. You should remind yourself that when you think it is convenient to take your position in gold and silver they may not be available for purchase, or if they are, you will have to wait a long time to take delivery paying a huge premium for the privilege of getting some precious metals at all.
I ask myself, why are we doing so much business in the last six months with gold and silver still so very much out of favor by the main stream? Because many of our clients are aware of what I just wrote (above). They understand that being early is the only safe option and they can see the handwriting on the wall. The stock market, the bond market and the dollar are ALL under pressure.
I will end this with a few comments from our friend Jim Sinclair – still “Mr. Gold” in our mind….
Jim Sinclair
WHEN WILL THE PARTY END?
The manipulators of paper gold can temporarily do anything. The operative word there in being temporarily.
The equation is gold versus run away insane debt levels, plus now we see QE in its true GLOBAL form as to INFINITY.
YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR DECISION AND NOT OVER-INTELLECTUALIZE IT.
Do you really believe that fiat paper will maintain, and therefore store the value of what you have? Sorry, it simply will not.
As such GOLD is your savings account.
End of story!

Riverside Resources (OTCBB: RVSDF)
Maintain Buy up to: $0.24
Position sizing: 1.5%
Riverside is a prospect generator that works mainly in northern Mexico, Sonora state. I’ve visited several of the company’s sites. In fact, I was down there this past weekend.
Shares traded down in the past month. Shares are slightly down over the past six months and year.
Riverside recently raised over $2 million via “oversubscribed” private placement. It’s a vote of confidence in the company and its CEO John-Mark Staude.
I visited a couple more Riverside mineral claims the other day down in Sonora. Let’s begin with this shot from the pickup truck… Indeed, you know you might be onto something when the roads are paved with copper ore!
IMG 1
Copper mineralization in road gravel. BWK photo.
The green stuff is malachite, mostly; it’s copper mineralization that coats gravel in an ancient outwash/conglomerate system. The source (the technical term is “up-gradient origin”) is a nearby, massive copper porphyry… a true mountain of copper ore.
There’s been a bit of historic mining in the area but not much. Indeed, most of the ore body has barely been picked over topside by miners of old, and almost none of it has felt the gentle touch of a drill bit. But Riverside has consolidated the hodgepodge of claims into a much better package for purposes of bringing in a partner. It’s ready to go now. (Note: I said “now.”)
During one stop along the field-trip route, John-Mark and I were literally walking on high-grade copper ore (the green stuff). Like this…
IMG 2
Your editor and Riverside CEO John-Mark Staude, walking on copper. BWK photo.
We were in the midst of a mineralized trend that’s literally miles-by-miles in dimension. It’s eastern Sonora, just west of the foothills of the mighty Sierra Madre mountain range. It’s volcanic caldera country — think of Yellowstone Park.
There’s placer gold mining in every streambed, water supply permitting. And there’s hard-rock mining to the east and west. The secret to success here is that much of the Riverside claim is buried, in some places under a thin layer of volcanic ash, like what you see here in this shot.
IMG 3
Your editor walks on volcanic ash, accompanied by a curious ranch dog. BWK photo.
Copper and gold. You want it? Right here… Riverside is absolutely ripe for a major combination with a larger company. The land position is second to none. The mineralization is vast, high grade, big size and eminently scalable. Company staff have done a splendid job of obtaining land position, permits, agreements with locals, nearby political support and more.
As a prospect generator, Riverside is in the business of developing multiple parallel stories, which add value. Stand by… That added value is likely to show up very soon! If you don’t own shares, get some. Maintain buy on Riverside up to $0.24.

*The Company is not able to estimate true widths for the intersected mineralization until further drilling is completed.

Very high-grade gold mineralization was encountered in drill hole I-19-13A which assayed 90.4 gpt gold over 4.27 m (2.6 oz per ton / 14 feet). Rise Gold has interpreted this intercept to represent a significant down-dip extension of the historic Idaho #1 Vein. The intercept in I-19-13A is near the elevation of the lowest haulage level of the mine accessed by the existing vertical mine shaft.

The Idaho #1 Vein was the most productive and highest-grade vein of the I-M Mine. Historic production from the Idaho #1 Vein is estimated at 935,000 oz of gold with an average head grade of 38.7 gpt (1.12 opt) gold. Total historic production from the Idaho Veins is estimated at 1,621,000 oz of gold with an average head grade of 28.4 gpt (0.74 opt) gold.

Idaho #1 Vein Drilling

The mineralized intercepts in drill holes I-19-13 and I-19-13A consist of a quartz shear vein and extensive zones of quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration in the walls of the vein.

  • Drill hole I-19-13A was wedged from drill hole I-19-13 and the holes are offset approx. 1.5 meters apart at the vein intersection
  • The vein in I-19-13 assayed 5.5 gpt gold over 5.12 m (0.16 opt / 16.8 ft)
  • The vein in I-19-13A assayed 90.4 gpt gold over 4.27 m (2.64 opt / 14.0 ft)
  • The weighted average of both holes is 44.1 gpt gold over 4.69m (1.29 opt / 15.4 ft)
  • I-19-13A includes a sample which assayed 458 gpt gold over 0.84 m (13.36 opt / 2.7 ft)
  • The vein in I-19-13A contains coarse visible gold in some samples of retained half core
  • A 40 m wide zone of alteration surrounds the vein with an average grade of ~1.5 gpt gold and individual samples assaying up to 12 gpt gold

Drill hole I-18-11 intersected the Idaho #1 Vein approx. 525 m along strike to the north-west and 200 m below I-19-13A. The intercept consists of a quartz shear vein and extensive zones of quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration in the walls of the vein.

  • The vein in I-18-11 assayed 3.6 gpt gold over 2.47 m (0.11 opt / 8.1 ft)
  • A 100 m wide zone of alteration surrounds the vein with an average grade of ~1.1 gpt gold and individual samples assaying up to 8 gpt gold
  • Additional drilling in the area of I-18-11 may reveal coarse gold similar to I-19-13A

Drill hole I-18-13A and I-18-11 are located 120 m and 320 m vertically below the I2400 level, the lowest level of exploration on the Idaho #1 Vein. Historic drifts were driven from each end of the vein and reported to be in gold mineralization at the time the mine was shut down.

  • I2400L West: historic channel samples of the vein and wallrock averaged 19.9 gpt gold over 1.93 m (0.58 opt / 6.4 ft) for a distance of 165 m to the final shutdown face
  • Channel samples include assays up to 481 gpt gold over 1.16 m (14.0 opt / 3.8 ft)
  • I2400L East: drifting in the Idaho #1 Vein was reported to be “well mineralized” over a distance of 76 m to the final shutdown face

Drill hole I-18-12 was designed to test the down-dip extension of the mineralization encountered in I-18-11 but significantly deviated and did not reach the intended Idaho #1 Vein target.

Rise Gold is currently drilling the Idaho #1 Vein target between I-19-13A and I-18-11 and utilizing directional drilling to improve the accuracy of drilling and expedite the next intercepts.

A summary of drill hole assay results from recent exploration diamond drilling on the Idaho #1 Vein target are presented in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 2. A photo of coarse visible gold in drill hole I-19-13A is displayed in Figure 1.

52 Vein Area Drilling

Drill holes I-18-11 and I-18-12 drilled though the 52 Vein area en route to the Idaho #1 Vein target.

Important gold mineralization related to the 52 Vein was intersected in drill holes I-18-11 & I-18-12. The 52 Vein intercepts are located approximately 242 m and 125 m north-east of the previous drill intercept in drill hole I-18-10.

A similar style of mineralization to I-18-10 was encountered with a wide flat lying shear vein and high-grade extensional veins in the walls of vein.

Drill hole I-18-10 assayed 149.3 gpt gold over 6.8 m, including 2,190 gpt gold over 0.47 m and was previously reported by news release on Dec 13th 2018.

The current drill program is focussed on the Idaho #1 Vein target and therefore the 52 Vein intercepts are incidental to the Idaho #1 Vein drilling. The 52 Vein represents a large and compelling target for a focussed drilling program in the future.

A summary of drill hole assay results from recent exploration diamond drilling on the 52 Vein target are presented in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 3.

Quality Control and Assay Methods

Richard Lippoth, M.Sc, CPG, the qualified person for the exploration drill results disclosure contained in this news release, has studied the drill core discussed in this news release and has reviewed the analytical and quality control results. Mr. Lippoth has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical contents of this news release.

Benjamin Mossman, P.Eng, CEO of Rise Gold, is the qualified person for the historic production disclosure contained in this news release. Historic production at the Idaho-Maryland Mine is disclosed in the Technical Report on the Idaho-Maryland Project dated June 1st, 2017 and available on www.sedar.com.

Rise has implemented a quality control program for its drill program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. This includes the insertion of blind blanks, duplicates and certified standards. HQ- and NQ-sized drill core is saw cut with half of the drill core sampled at intervals based on geological criteria including lithology, visual mineralization, and alteration. The remaining half of the core is stored on-site at the Company’s warehouse in Grass Valley, California. Drill core samples are transported in sealed bags to ALS Minerals analytical assay lab in Reno, Nevada.

All gold assays were obtained using a method of screen fire assaying. This procedure involves screening a large pulverized sample of up to 1 kg at 100 microns. Any +100 micron material remaining on the screen is retained and analyzed in its entirety by fire assay with gravimetric finish and reported as the Au (+) fraction result. The -100 micron fraction is homogenized and two sub-samples of 30-50 grams are analyzed by fire assay with AAS finish. If the grade of the material exceeds 10 gpt the sample is re-assayed using a gravimetric finish. The average of the two results is taken and reported as the Au (-) fraction result. All three values are used in calculating the combined gold content of the plus and minus fractions.

About Rise Gold Corp.

Rise Gold is an exploration-stage mining company. The Company’s principal asset is the historic past-producing Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine located in Nevada County, California, USA.

FISSION 3.0 Drills Strong Alteration in Multiple Holes at Key Lake South

First pass drill program returns encouraging results
TSX VENTURE SYMBOL: FUU
KELOWNA, BC, March 20, 2019 /CNW/ – FISSION 3.0 CORP. (“Fission 3” or “the Company“) is pleased to announce results from the first pass drill program at its Key Lake South properties (Karpinka Lake and Hobo Lake projects) in the south-east Athabasca Basin region of Saskatchewan, Canada. A total of ~1300m was drilled in eight completed holes, all of which encountered variably intense hydrothermal alteration and six holes with anomalous radioactivity.  Of note, holes KL19-005, KL19-006 and KL19-007, drilled in the northern part of the extensive land package, encountered the most significant hydrothermal alteration and paleoweathering, which are considered important factors for hosting high-grade uranium mineralization and will be prioritized for follow up. With $6M in the treasury, Fission 3 is well poised to continue to explore on its extensive property portfolio.

  • Winter program at Key Lake complete: Eight holes in 1300.8m in the Key Lake South projects (Karpinka Lake and Hobo Lake) – located on the south-east region of theAthabasca Basin, 40 km south of the basin margin in a geological setting analogous to Fission Uranium’s Triple R deposit at PLS.
  • Drilling intercepted multiple anomalous and narrow radiometric anomalies and strong alteration: drill holes located in the northern area of the property (holes KL19-005, KL19-006 and KL19-007) have exhibited the strongest hydrothermal alteration and paleoweathering profile.
  • Prospective for high-grade mineralization: KL19-005 intersected over 100m of strong clay alteration and faulted rock, which is interpreted to represent a major structural dilation zone.  Such settings are important in the genesis of structurally hosted uranium deposits as they provide a pathway for large amount of hydrothermal fluid flow and can develop traps for localizing mineralized fluids.  Most of the Athabasca Basin’s major uranium deposits are situated in similar geological settings.
  • Cree Bay exploration upcoming: Fission 3.0’s ongoing portfolio exploration program will now move to Cree Bay, conducting ground geophysics surveys to assist with the planned summer drill program.
Fission 3.0 Corp. (CNW Group/Fission 3.0 Corp.)

Ross McElroy, COO, and Chief Geologist for Fission, commented,
“The drill program at Key Lake is the latest step in the ongoing exploration of our prospective uranium projects. With radioactivity and strong alteration in multiple holes, we are looking at very encouraging first pass results that warrant follow up drilling. The winter program will now progress with a ground geophysics DC resistivity survey on our Cree Bay property in the northeast basin area, as we focus on developing high-priority drill targets to be tested during the summer exploration program.”  
About Key Lake South: The Key Lake area is an important historic mining district.  The Key Lake operations is owned by Cameco Corp. (83%) and Orano Canada Inc. (17%) and hosted the former Key Lake mine, which produced 208 million pounds of uranium between 1975 to 1997 and is home to one of the largest uranium mills in the world.  The Key Lake mill processed ore from the McArthur River uranium deposit, until Cameco announced in 2018 that McArthur River mining would be suspended indefinitely due to low uranium prices.  The area is considered highly prospective to discover significant new uranium occurrences.
The 100% owned Key Lake South Projects consist of two projects (Karpinka Lake and Hobo Lake) covering 19,377 ha in 42 mineral claims. The properties are located approximately 40km south of the historic Key Lake mine. The projects are geologically situated within the extremely prolific Wollaston-Mudjatic Transition Zone “WMTZ”, notable for hosting the majority of the major high-grade uranium deposits on the eastern side of the Athabasca Basin.  To the north, the Key Lake Deposit is hosted within the northern portion of northeast-southwest trending litho-structural feature known as the Key Lake Shear Zone “KLSZ”.  The KLSZ continues southward through the Karpinka Lake and Hobo Lake projects.  Together the properties cover approximately 50km of trend of the KLSZ, where a number of geochemical uranium anomalies have been discovered and where a network of EM conductors exhibit structural complexity including off-sets, breaks, folding and other geophysical features such as gravity and resistivity lows.  These features are often associated with uranium mineralization occurrences.

KL19-001
KL19-001 was an angled drill hole oriented parallel to the intermittent, weak, calc-silicate hosted radioactivity intersected in historic hole RO-01.  The purpose of KL19-001 was to test the radioactive calc-silicate from the top of bedrock down to a depth of approximately 150m. Bedrock was intersected at a depth of 18.0m down hole and was comprised of variably clay, hematite, graphite and chlorite altered schist, cataclasite and calc-silicate.  A strongly hematized calc-silicate was cored from 126.8m to 132.5m down hole which returned weak radioactivity up to 590 cps on a RS-125 handheld scintillometer.  No other anomalous radioactivity was intersected, and the hole was terminated at a depth of 149.0m in weakly altered graphitic schist.
KL19-002
KL19-002 was an angled drill hole targeting the Key Lake Shear zone (KLSZ) approximately 950m south of KL19-001. Bedrock was intersected at a depth of 43.0 m down hole and was comprised of weakly altered orthogneiss and calc-silicate gneiss to a depth of 72.9m.  From 72.9m to 80.3m a strongly sheared biotite-garnet gneiss was cored with a central 5.2mwide graphitic brittle-ductile fault zone. The hole was terminated at a depth of 101.0m in fresh orthogneiss.
KL19-003
KL19-003 was an angled drill hole targeting the weakly radioactive calc-silicate approximately 75m below that intersected in KL19-001.  The drill hole aimed to assess the variability in previously intersected calc-silicate thickness and radioactivity with depth, and to test for parallel radioactive calc-silicate lenses.  Bedrock was intersected at a depth of 15.3m down hole and was comprised of a thick sequence of biotite schist to a depth of 182.5m where a sheared, graphitic schist was intersected.  A weakly radioactive calc-silicate lens was cored from 222.2m to 224.5m which returned up to 410 cps on a RS-125 handheld scintillometer. The hole was terminated at a final depth of 251.0m in fresh orthogneiss.
KL19-004
KL19-004 was an angled drill hole testing the southern extent of a large left stepping electromagnetic conductor trace ~7km north of KL-001.  This flexure is interpreted to reflect a dilational zone in the KLSZ caused by sinistral strike-slip movement. Bedrock was intersected at a depth of 37.0m down hole and was comprised primarily of weakly hematite altered orthogneiss.  An intercalacted sequence of weakly graphitic biotite-garnet schist and cataclasite was cored from 42.7m to 66.9m down hole. No anomalous radioactivity was intersected, and the hole was terminated at a depth of 125.0m in fresh orthogneiss.
KL19-005
KL19-005 was an angled drill hole testing the same large, left stepping KLSZ VTEM conductor trace as KL19-004, approximately 1 km further to the north. Bedrock was intersected at a depth of 39.0m down hole as was comprised of moderately to extremely bleached, clay, hematite, chlorite and graphite altered orthogneiss.  A strongly graphitic, clay and chlorite altered cataclasite was intersected from 85.5m to 94.5m down hole. Thin limonitic fractures in the graphite altered orthogneiss at approximately 78m down hole returned elevated radioactivity up to 200 cps on the RS-125 handheld scintillometer. The hole was lost due to ground conditions at a depth of 128.8m in strongly chlorite and graphite altered orthogneiss.
KL19-006
KL19-006 was an angled drill hole testing the up-dip projection of the graphitic cataclasite in hole KL19-005.  Bedrock was intersected at depth of 56.0m down hole and was comprised of weakly clay and chlorite altered orthogneiss. The drill hole is interpreted to have overshot the graphitic cataclasite which down-dropped the bedrock surface to the east (normal faulting). No anomalous radioactivity was intersected and the hole was terminated at a depth of 101.0m in weakly chlorite and clay altered orthogneiss.
KL19-007
KL19-007 was an angled drill hole testing the down-dip projection of the structural damage zone and strong alteration in KL19-005.  Bedrock was intersected at a depth of 29.0m down hole and was comprised of extremely clay and chlorite altered graphitic cataclasite, variably altered graphitic schist, biotite schist and orthogneiss. Weak elevated radioactivity up to 160 cps was recorded on the RS-125 handheld scintillometer at 119.0m hosted in intercalated quartzitic and graphitic schist.  Apart from the upper cataclasite no structural damage zone was intersected below KL19-005 and the hole was terminated at a depth of 152.0m in fresh orthogneiss.
KL19-008
KL19-008 was an angled drill hole testing for the northern extension of the historic DD-Zone where previous historic drilling returned up to 0.78% U3O8 over 0.5m.  Bedrock was intersected at a depth of 7.3m down hole and was comprised of a thick intercalated sequence of graphite altered amphibolite and calc-silicate to a depth of 136.8m.  Below 136.8m, the hole encountered weakly altered to fresh biotite-garnet schist and graphitic schist.  A 0.20m granite intrusion at 90.5 m depth returned elevated radioactivity up to 540 cps. The hole was terminated at a depth of 293.0m in fresh biotite-garnet schist.
Natural gamma radiation in drill core that is reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (cps) using a Mount Sopris PGA-1000 Natural Gamma Probe and a hand-held RS-125 Scintillometer manufactured by Radiation Solutions. The reader is cautioned that scintillometer readings are not directly or uniformly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be used only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive materials.
Samples from the drill core are split in half sections on site. Where possible, samples are standardized at 0.5m down-hole intervals. One-half of the split sample will be sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories (an SCC ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 Accredited Facility) in Saskatoon, SK. Analysis will include a 63 element ICP-OES, and boron.
All depth measurements reported, including radioactivity and mineralization interval widths are down-hole, core interval measurements and true thickness are yet to be determined.
Cree Bay Exploration: In 2017 a ground DC Resistivity survey was completed in 2 separate grids centered on sections of strong conductivity interpreted from a historic airborne GEOTEM electromagnetic survey on what was then the Cree Bay property. Fission 3 subsequently staked additional ground to cover the most conductive part of this anomaly. The winter 2019 exploration work will thus continue to extend the ground geophysics survey over the anomaly, to determine the highest priority drill targets. The program will consist of a winter 21 line-km ground DC Resistivity survey and 2 lines of Moving Loop TDEM survey will be conducted during April to cover the most geophysically prospective area identified from a historic GEOTEM electromagnetic survey.
About Cree Bay: The Cree Bay property, located 20km south of the town of Stony Rapids, consists of 16 claims totaling 14,080 ha and sits on the inside edge of the north-eastern Athabasca Basin.  The property is located along the major SW-NE trending Virgin River Shear Zone.  Locally the conductive corridor is bound by the Black Lake Fault to the north and East Channel Fault to the south.  The historic Nisto uranium mine, is located ~7.5km to the northeast, along the Black Lake fault.
