Collective Mining Exploration Update: Trap Drilling Underway and Short Hole Drill Program at Apollo Delivers High-Grade Intercepts

Post author By admin
Post date November 22, 2023

Drilling is now underway at the Guayabales Project’s Trap porphyry target (“Trap”) with the objective of following up on the 2022 discovery hole TRC-1, which intersected 102.20 metres of gold-silver-copper mineralization averaging @ 1.53 g/t gold equivalent.
Trap is located approximately three kilometres to the northeast of the Company’s flagship Apollo porphyry system (“Apollo”) and is significantly larger than Apollo in dimensions measuring approximately 2 kilometres by 2 kilometres in area.
The mineralization styles and geochemical signatures encountered at Trap are very similar to those observed at the Apollo system, namely porphyry vein and alteration systems being overprinted by subsequent carbonate base metal (“CBM”) sheeted vein systems.
High-grade assay results have been received from a short hole drill program at Apollo. The aim of the program was designed to provide important data for block modelling by infilling the shallowest portion of the dip of the system as it moves under cover, with results including:
- 130.45 metres @ 2.17 g/t gold equivalent from 119.90 metres downhole in APC-80.
- 98.75 metres @ 2.71 g/t gold equivalent from 132.35 metres downhole in APC-82.
Drilling in the southern part of Apollo into the porphyry halo located outside of the high-grade brecciated porphyry system has cut shallow, lower grade mineralization while extending the maximum known dimensions of the brecciated porphyry to 560 metres (previously 520 metres). The system remains open to the west, north and at depth. Assay results include:
- 109.15 metres @ 0.46 g/t gold equivalent from 7 metres downhole in APC-75.
Drilling continues at the Guayabales project with four rigs currently in operation and a backlog of assay results expected in short order. Assay results outstanding include a series of directional drill holes at Apollo as well as initial results from the ME target area.

Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman commented: “Trap is an extremely exciting target, one which we did not appreciate appropriately when the discovery hole was drilled in mid-2022 as our geological knowledge of the Guayabales project was only in its infancy. After careful review, it is now clear that the 2022 Trap discovery hole is hosted in a long and continuous zone of quartz diorite porphyry with overprinting styles of mineralization similar to those observed at Apollo. Trap possesses all the characteristics of a potentially large porphyry system, and we look forward to seeing what transpires from our drilling program now underway.”

TORONTO, Nov. 22, 2023 /CNW/ – Collective Mining Ltd. (TSX: CNL) (OTCQX: CNLMF) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that is has commenced drilling at the Trap target (“Trap”) and assay results for seven holes drilled in the Apollo porphyry system (“Apollo). Apollo and Trap are both targets within the Company’s flagship Guayabales project located in Caldas, Colombia. Presently, there are four diamond drill rigs operating at the Guayabales project as part of the Company’s planned 42,000 metre drilling program for 2023.

Details (See Table 1-4 and Figures 1-2)

This press release outlines details of the Trap target and results from seven holes drilled within and peripheral to the Apollo system.

Trap Target

The Company announces that drilling is now underway at the Trap target in the northern portion of the Guayabales project. Trap is located approximately three kilometres to the northeast of the Apollo Porphyry system in the largest porphyry intrusion centre outlined to date at the Guayabales project.

On September 27, 2022, grass roots reconnaissance drilling at Trap resulted in a porphyry discovery with drill hole TRC-1 assaying 102.20 metres @ 1.53 g/t gold equivalent (Table 1) including:

16.10 metres @ 2.63 g/t gold equivalent from 250.20 metres downhole related to a copper- gold-silver porphyry style mineralization (Table 2).
14.70 metres @ 2.00 g/t gold equivalent from 289.00 metres downhole related to gold-silver rich CBM style mineralization (Table 3).

Mineralization styles and metal geochemistry at Trap is very similar to the Apollo porphyry system in terms of gold, silver, and copper (see Tables 2 and Table 3). Hole TRC-1 intersected porphyry style mineralization (see Table 2, downhole depths from 250.2 metres to 266.30 metres) with secondary biotite, hydrothermal magnetite (up to 0.5%) in veinlets, albite, chlorite, chalcopyrite (up to 1.0 % and replacing the magnetite) and pyrite (up to 1.3%). Below this at 289.00 metres downhole, the hole entered into a polymetallic, CBM mineralization phase enveloped by strong sericite alteration. The sheeted carbonate veins host gold, silver, lead and zinc with sulphides including sphalerite (up to 0.5%), galena (up to 0.2%), pyrite (up to 2.0%), copper oxides, quartz, and carbonates.

Apollo Drilling

Three holes were drilled from Pad 12 in order to better outline the shallowest portion of the dip of the system for block modelling. High-grade and shallow brecciated porphyry mineralization was intersected in holes APC-80, APC-82 and APC-84 (see Table 4) and was fringed to the north by lower grade and peripheral mineralization. These three holes have added grade and volume at shallow levels to the Apollo system with assay results as follows:

130.45 metres @ 2.17 g/t gold equivalent from 119.90 metres downhole in APC-80.
98.75 metres @ 2.71 g/t gold equivalent from 132.35 metres downhole in APC-82.
53.70 metres @ 0.67 g/t gold equivalent from 120.00 metres downhole in APC-84.

Additionally, from Pad 3, drillhole APC-75, APC-77 and APC-79 (see Table 4) were fanned in southerly directions to test for the potential of the low-grade halo of mineralization surrounding the main brecciated high-grade Apollo system. These holes were drilled so that the Company can begin to assess the potential of the low-grade halo and its potential to positively impact future mining scenarios as well as determining the eastern boundary of the Apollo intrusion. Assay results are as follows:

109.15 metres @ 0.46 g/t gold equivalent from 7.00 metres downhole in APC-75.
36.10 metres @ 0.36 g/t gold equivalent from 52.40 metres downhole in APC-77.

As a result of drill holes APC-75 and APC-77, the maximum known strike of the Apollo system has been extended by 40 metres and now measures 560 metres in length.

Finally, a seventh hole, APC-76 was drilled to the west from Pad 5 with the objective of intersecting a deep zone of the brecciated porphyry. Unfortunately, the hole was abandoned at a shallow depth before reaching the target zone when it entered a fault zone and encountered mechanical problems.

Recovery rates for copper, molybdenum, tungsten and silver are speculative as limited metallurgical work has been completed to date on these metals. True widths are unknown, and grades are uncut.

Exploration Drill Program and Assay Update

Diamond drilling at the Guayabales project now totals 123 drill holes (approximately 48,751 meters) completed and assayed. The 2023 Phase II drilling program is advancing on schedule with assay results reported for 52 holes and an additional ten holes awaiting assay results from the lab.

The Company now has four diamond drill rigs operating within the Guayabales project area with the following objectives for the remainder of 2023:

Expanding the Apollo porphyry system both laterally and vertically. The Company is currently advancing with directional drilling utilizing two rigs aimed at expanding the Apollo system at depth, to the west and north.
Drill test the Trap target in the northern portion on the Guayabales project. Three widely spaced reconnaissance holes were completed at Trap in 2022 with the discovery hole, TRC-1 assaying 102.2 metres @ 1.53 g/t gold equivalent and containing similar mineralization to the Apollo porphyry system. Follow up drilling is now underway and initial assay results are expected in due course.

Ridgeline Minerals Completes 2,000 Meter Drill Program at the Selena Project, Nevada

Post author By admin
Post date November 22, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 22, 2023) – Ridgeline Minerals Corp. (TSXV: RDG) (OTCQB: RDGMF) (“Ridgeline” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce the completion of its 2023 diamond core drill program totaling 2,034 meters (“m”) at its Selena silver (“Ag”) – lead (“Pb”) – zinc (“Zn”) – gold (“Au”) carbonate replacement (“CRD”) exploration project in Nevada.

The program totaled five drill holes ranging from 125 m to 690 m depth and targeted shallow-oxide CRD mineralization in the Upper Chinchilla Zone as well as testing for the first time beneath Chinchilla for stacked mineralization at depth (Figure 1 & Table 1). Drill samples have been regularly submitted to the lab for analysis over the past six weeks with assay results expected to be released in December 2023.

Mike Harp, Ridgeline’s Vice President, Exploration commented, “This year’s program had two primary objectives, upgrade the known Upper Chinchilla Zone and test prospective carbonate host horizons at depth for new discoveries. Results so far have confirmed the high-grade nature of the Upper Chinchilla Zone, and we are encouraged by the level of alteration observed in new potential host horizons at depth. We look forward to updating shareholders as assays are received over the coming weeks.”

Summary of SE23-049 & SE23-050 (assays pending)

Drillhole SE23-049 intersected the Upper Chinchilla Zone horizon over a roughly 9 m thick interval at depths consistent with nearby drillhole SE21-024 (Figure 2).
- 2.7m of total core loss was encountered in the middle of the aforementioned 9 m interval which is interpreted as a collapse breccia zone or cave resulting in no core recovery.
Drilling beneath the upper zone intersected multiple stacked zones of CRD style alteration ranging from 1-5m thickness extending down to 665 meters downhole. (see core photo in Picture 1)

Drillhole SE23-050 intersected the Upper Chinchilla Zone horizon over a roughly 25 m thick interval at depths consistent with nearby drillholes SE21-025 and SE22-045 (Picture 2 & Figure 2).
Drilling beneath the Upper Chinchilla Zone intersected intervals of CRD style alteration ranging from 1-3m thickness down to 400 meters downhole as well as UV fluorescing “BBQ Rock” (fugitive calcite) vein breccia intervals down to 600m depth. (see core photo in Picture 3)

Selena Project
Selena is located in White Pine County, Nevada, approximately 64 kilometers (“km”) north of the town of Ely, NV. The Project shares a property boundary with the Butte Valley project, a US $33M earn-in agreement between Freeport-McMoRan and Falcon Butte Minerals. The 100% owned project is comprised of 39 square kms of highly prospective exploration ground including Ridgeline’s shallow-oxide 2020 Ag-Au ± Pb-Zn Chinchilla discovery. Subsequent drilling has continued to highlight the potential for high-grade CRD type mineralization (Ag-Au-Pb-Zn ±Cu) between Chinchilla and the Butte Valley Cu-Au-Ag porphyry located directly west of the property.

Goldshore Closes Non-Brokered Private Placement of $3.75 Million

Post author By admin
Post date November 20, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 20, 2023) – Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement (the “Private Placement“), for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.75 million. The Company issued the following securities:

(i) 37,500,000 units of the Company (“Units“) at a price of $0.10 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share (each, a “Common Share“) and one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“); and

(ii) Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (a “Warrant Share“) at an exercise price of $0.13 per Warrant Share for the next thirty-six (36) months until November 17, 2026.

The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to continue to advance the Moss Gold Project through development of a new resource model and a new mineral resource estimation; in addition to continuing the engineering and metallurgical studies being done on various leach methodologies (including heap leach) and ultimately factoring this new information into a preliminary economic assessment, along with working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid a finder’s fee of 1,008,000 Units to Eventus Capital Corp. There were no cash finder’s fees paid in connection with the Private Placement.

The securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement, and any Common Shares issued on exercise of Warrants, are subject to a four-month and one day hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada and TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“) hold period, as applicable, expiring on March 18, 2024.

Certain directors and officers of the Company have participated in the Private Placement. Brett A. Richards, a director and officer of the Company, subscribed for 900,000 Units; Marlis Yassin, an officer of the Company, subscribed for 100,000 Units; Victor Cantore, a director of the Company, subscribed for 750,000 Units; Shawn Khunkhun, a director of the Company, subscribed indirectly for 250,000 Units; Joanna Pearson, a director of the Company, subscribed for 100,000 Units; and Peter Flindell, an officer of the Company, subscribed for 300,000 Units (collectively, the “Related Party Participation“). The Related Party Participation constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). Pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), the Company is exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company’s shareholders in respect of the Related Party Participation due the fair market value of the Related Party Participation being below 25% of the Company’s market capitalization for the purposes of MI 61-101.

The Company will file a material change report in respect of closing of the Private Placement. However, the material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Private Placement, which is consistent with market practice and the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances.

Issuance of RSUs

The Company has also issued 600,000 restricted share units (“RSUs“) to Kyle Hickey, a director of the Company. The RSUs will fully vest on November 17, 2024, one year from the date of grant. Once vested, each RSU represents the right to receive one Common Share, the equivalent cash value thereof, or a combination of the two, at the Company’s discretion. The 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. Any grants of share-based compensation made under the Plan prior to approval of the Plan by shareholders, including the aforementioned grant of the RSUs and the grant of RSUs noted below, will be subject to the approval of disinterested shareholders at the next Annual General and Special Meeting of the Company. The Company anticipates holding its next Annual General and Special Meeting of shareholders on January 23, 2024.

Early Warning Disclosure

The Company has been advised that following the: (i) acquisition as part of the Private Placement by Brian Paes-Braga (“Acquiror”) of 15,000,000 Units, issued for a price of $0.10 per Unit for total consideration paid by Acquiror of $1,500,000, and (ii) grant by the Company of 600,000 RSUs to Acquiror, the Acquiror has beneficial ownership, control or direction of 15,675,000 Common Shares representing 6.34% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, and would have beneficial ownership, control or direction of 31,275,000 Common Shares representing 11.90% of the Common Shares on a partially diluted basis assuming the exercise of Warrants and settlement of RSUs. The Acquiror has beneficial ownership of 15,000,000 Warrants representing 17.73% of the issued and outstanding Warrants. The Acquiror has beneficial ownership of 600,000 RSUs representing 12.84% of the issued and outstanding RSUs. Prior to the Private Placement, the Acquiror had beneficial ownership, direction or control of 675,000 Common Shares, representing 0.27% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. The Company has been advised that the Acquiror acquired these securities for investment purposes and their acquisition will be disclosed in an early warning report to be filed under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile. The Acquiror may in the future acquire or dispose of securities of the Company through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant.

Aya Gold & Silver Reports High-Grade Drill Exploration Results and Adds 4 Permits at Boumadine

Post author By admin
Post date November 20, 2023

MONTREAL, Nov. 20, 2023 /CNW/ – Aya Gold & Silver Inc. (TSX: AYA) (OTCQX: AYASF) (“Aya” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce new high-grade drill exploration results at Boumadine in the Kingdom of Morocco. The new results confirm the large, high-grade mineralized zones in the central and northern portions of the Main Trend, which remains open in all directions.

The Corporation has also added 4 permits to Boumadine, which now has a total surface footprint of 78 square kilometers (“km²”).

Key Highlights¹

Definition of new high-grade mineralization from the infill drilling program:
- BOU-DD23-180 intersected 1,039 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver equivalent (“AgEq”) over 23.5 meters (“m”) (6.41 g/t Au, 116 g/t Ag, 4.7% Zn, 0.6% Pb and 0.4% Cu)
- BOU-DD23-184 intersected 474 g/t AgEq over 30.1m (2.57 g/t Au, 85 g/t Ag, 2.2% Zn, 0.6% Pb and 0.1% Cu), including 3.2m at 1,339 g/t AgEq and 3.4m at 1,169 g/t AgEq
- BOU-DD23-172 intersected 2,689 g/t AgEq over 3.7m (22.03 g/t Au, 531 g/t Ag, 1.3% Zn, 0.3% Pb and 0.2% Cu)
- BOU-DD23-186 intersected 442 g/t AgEq over 16.6m (1.85 g/t Au, 150 g/t Ag, 1.9% Zn, 0.3% Pb and 0.1% Cu), including 2.7m at 1,088 g/t AgEq
- BOU-DD23-176 intersected 202 g/t AgEq over 30.6m (1.42 g/t Au, 20 g/t Ag, 0.6% Zn, 0.3% Pb and 0.05% Cu)
- BOU-DD23-178 intersected 613 g/t AgEq over 9.5m (2.70 g/t Au, 49 g/t Ag, 4.2% Zn, 1.8% Pb and 0.2% Cu), including 2.3m at 1,476 g/t AgEq
Acquisition of two mining permits totaling 15.8 km² north-east and south-west of Boumadine.
Acquisition of one mining and one exploration permit for a total of 20.0 km² west of Boumadine.

“The acquisition of new permits is core to our strategy of consolidating our land position, and the four permits provide additional upside potential in the vicinity of the Boumadine Main Trend,” said Benoit La Salle, President & CEO. “Today’s high-grade drilling results including BOU-DD23-180 and BOU-DD23-184 confirm both continuity of the Main Trend and its potential from surface and over a very wide area. Following the positive metallurgical test results, our team is now focused on completing the remaining 20% of the expanded drill program and delivering the Q1-2024 Boumadine resource estimate.”

Figure 2 – Surface Plan of Boumadine Property with Magnetic Data (Residual Total Field) and 2023 Drill Holes (CNW Group/Aya Gold & Silver Inc)

2023 Exploration Results

To date, 159 diamond drill holes (“DDH”) for a total of 61,312m have been completed at Boumadine in 2023 (Figure 2 and Appendix 2). Both infill and exploration drilling were conducted on strike along the Main Trend (South, Central, and North Zones).

Most results have been received for drill holes up to BOU-DD23-203 (Table 1, Figure 4, Figure 5, and Appendix 1).

Results received since September 2023 confirm the high grade of the north and central sections of the Main Trend, notably with holes BOU-DD23-180 and BOU-DD23-184 intersecting large, mineralized zones.

The main mineralization generally consists of 1m to 4m wide (locally reaching over a 10m width) N340- oriented massive sulphide lenses/veins sharply dipping eastward (> 70°). The massive sulphide veins (>80%) are mainly composed of pyrite, with variable proportions of sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite. Figure 3 presents the results of the Boumadine Main Zone on a longitudinal section along the deposit, defining ore shoots shallowly dipping toward south, in both the Central and South Zones.

Next Steps

The 76,000m drilling program is 80% complete and is expected to be completed at year-end 2023. The Corporation expects to publish an NI 43-101 compliant resource by the end of Q1-2024.

Fieldwork will commence on the new permits in 2024 and will combine a hyperspectral survey, ground geophysics, mapping and prospecting.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (“forward-looking statements”), which reflects management’s expectations regarding Aya’s future growth and business prospects (including the timing and development of new deposits and the success of exploration activities) and other opportunities. Wherever possible, words such as “confirm”, “potential”, “complete”, “expect” “extend”, “belief”, and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, “will”, or are “likely” to be taken, occur or be achieved, have been used to identify such forward-looking information. Specific forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, statements and information with respect to the exploration and development potential of Boumadine and the advancement of and success of the exploration program at Boumadine , and timing for the release of the Company’s disclosure in connection with the foregoing. Although the forward-looking information contained in this press release reflect management’s current beliefs based upon information currently available to management and based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, Aya cannot be certain that actual results will be consistent with such forward-looking information. Such forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions, opinions and analysis made by management in light of its experience, current conditions, and its expectations of future developments that management believe to be reasonable and relevant but that may prove to be incorrect. These assumptions include, among other things, the ability to obtain any requisite governmental approvals, the accuracy of Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates (including, but not limited to, ore tonnage and ore grade estimates), silver price, exchange rates, fuel and energy costs, future economic conditions, anticipated future estimates of free cash flow, and courses of action. Aya cautions you not to place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements.

The risks and uncertainties that may affect forward-looking statements include, among others: the inherent risks involved in exploration and development of mineral properties, including government approvals and permitting, changes in economic conditions, changes in the worldwide price of silver and other key inputs, changes in mine plans (including, but not limited to, throughput and recoveries being affected by metallurgical characteristics) and other factors, such as project execution delays, many of which are beyond the control of Aya, as well as other risks and uncertainties which are more fully described in Aya’s 2022 Annual Information Form dated March 31, 2023, and in other filings of Aya with securities and regulatory authorities which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Furthermore, Aya’s corporate update of May 28, 2020 regarding the materiality of its assets as well as to studies regarding non-material assets remains applicable as at the date hereof. Aya does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements should assumptions related to these plans, estimates, projections, beliefs, and opinions change. Nothing in this document should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy or sell Aya securities.

Analyst Predict EMX Royalty has a lot of upside for shareholders

Post author By admin
Post date November 17, 2023

A respected analyst report has recently commented on the value proposition of EMX Royalty. The decision seems to have merit based on this week’s recent news announcement on the 3rd Quarter Results for 2023. A projected 12-month price point of C$5.75 was the target by the analyst. At the present EMX Royalty is trading at C$2.22. We highly regard EMX Royalty, we’ve been long-term shareholders since 2016/17. In our opinion EMX Royalty is a legacy company that you buy and pass along to your children. It’s the Goose that keeps laying the Golden Egg.

Highlights from Q3 2023 include the following:

EMX earned approximately $1,955,000 in royalty revenue from the Gediktepe Mine as production continued from the oxide gold deposit. Partner Lidya Madencilik Anayi ve Ticaret A.S. (“Lidya”) also notified EMX that it has completed an internal Feasibility Study for development of the underlying polymetallic sulfide deposit. A decision regarding financing and construction for the sulfide project is pending.
The Caserones (effective) royalty distribution for Q3 totaled approximately $1,741,000. Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin”), in connection with their acquisition of fifty-one percent (51%) of the issued and outstanding equity of SCM Minera Lumina Copper Chile SpA (see Lundin news release dated July 13, 2023), filed a technical report on SEDAR titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Caserones Mining Operation, Atacama Region, Chile” that included current mineral resource and reserve estimates. Lundin also provided Caserones H1 production and H2 production guidance.
Leeville revenue earned by EMX totaled approximately $773,000 from royalty production that totaled 403 ounces of gold. Q3 2023 marked another strong quarter of Leeville royalty production along with robust gold prices.
EMX recognized $568,000 in royalty revenue from the Balya property in Q3 2023 which included $212,000 from Q2 production and $356,000 from Q3 production subsequently received. Production began to ramp up again in Q2 2023 with 99,185 tonnes of mineralized material produced from Balya North. Production continued to accelerate in Q3 2023, with 161,133 tonnes of mineralized material produced according to calculations provided by Esan at the end of Q3.
EMX received $134,000 from Gold Bar South for royalty revenue earned in Q1 2023 and Q2 2023, and earned royalty revenue of $59,000 from Q3 2023 production, which was subsequently received.
AbraSilver Resource Corp. (“AbraSilver”) reported final results from the Phase III drill program at the Diablillos silver-gold royalty property. Phase III drill holes will be incorporated into an updated mineral resource estimate to be included in the Diablillos PFS scheduled for completion in H2 of 2023. As part of its ongoing PFS work, AbraSilver also reported on positive results from metallurgical optimization test work conducted for the Oculto deposit.
Arizona Sonoran Copper continued to report infill drilling results from the Parks-Sayler porphyry copper royalty property. Subsequent to quarter-end, Arizona Sonoran announced updated mineral resource estimates for the Parks-Sayler deposit, which is partially covered by an EMX royalty, as well as other deposits that constitute its Cactus Project.
Exploration drilling by South32 at the Hermosa Project’s Peake prospect returned mineralized intercepts covered by EMX’s Hardshell royalty property that included the best copper intercept to date of 139 meters averaging 1.88% copper, 0.51% lead, 0.34% zinc, and 52 g/t silver (true width not reported).
EMX’s U.S. royalty generation portfolio progressed with 13 partner-funded work programs consisting of five drill programs, the expansion of properties through the staking of new claims, and the permitting of key projects in preparation for three additional drill programs to be conducted in Q4 2023 and early 2024. EMX has 39 projects in partnership in the western U.S and received various option, AAR, and management fee payments during the quarter.
Scout Discoveries Corp. (“Scout”) (a private Idaho company) and EMX closed on an amended transaction, originally announced in Q1 2023 (see EMX news release dated March 8, 2023) for the sale of EMX’s Erickson Ridge, South Orogrande, Lehman Butte, and Jackknife precious and base metal projects to Scout.
In Canada, EMX executed two new agreements to partner the Jean Lake property to Canada Nickel Company, and the Ear Falls property to Beyond Lithium. EMX and its partners conducted summer field programs to continue advancing the properties in the portfolio. EMX received $104,000 in cash payments during the quarter from partnered projects.
In Chile, Pampa Metals announced assay results from its initial three hole drill program totaling 1,957 meters at the Buena Vista target on the Block 4 property. Anomalous copper, molybdenum and precious metals were intercepted, indicative of shallow levels of a porphyry system. Elsewhere within the portfolio, EMX was notified by Pampa Metals that it was abandoning the Arrieros, Redondo-Veronica, Cerro Blanco, Cerro Buena Aries, and Block 3 properties, resulting in EMX gaining 100% control of each property. These properties are now available for partnership.
In Northern Europe the Company continued to develop and advance its portfolio of projects, with summer field programs continuing on numerous properties in Q3 2023. EMX has 37 projects in partnership with other companies in Northern Europe. New partnerships were established for the Bamble and Flåt battery metals projects in Norway (Londo Nickel plc) and the Njuggträskliden and Mjövattnet battery metals projects in Sweden (Kendrick Resources plc).
The Company optioned the Copperhole Creek project in Queensland, Australia to Lumira Energy LTD, a private Australian company. The agreement provides EMX with a 2.5% NSR royalty interest, cash and equity payments, work commitments and other considerations. In conjunction with the transaction, Lumira Energy intends to establish a public listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) by mid-year 2024.
Also in Q3 2023 in Australia, partner companies executed drill programs comprising over 5,000 meters on three EMX royalty properties (Yarrol, Mt Steadman and Koonenberry) and field programs continued to advance the Queensland Gold and Copperhole Creek projects.
Royalty generation programs continued in the Balkans and in Morocco in Q3 2023, where multiple exploration license applications have been filed by the Company. Surface sampling programs commenced on several new exploration licenses awarded to EMX in Morocco targeting a variety of styles of mineralization. EMX also continued to assess projects and opportunities in the Balkans.

Investment Updates

As at September 30, 2023, the Company had marketable securities of $6,830,000 (December 31, 2022 – $9,966,000), and $5,313,000 (December 31, 2022 – $4,591,000) in private investments. The Company will continue to generate cash flow by selling certain of its investments when appropriate.

OUTLOOK

The 2023 year will continue to see revenue and other income coming from our cash flowing royalties, including Leeville and Gold Bar South in Nevada, Gediktepe and Balya in Turkey, and Timok in Serbia, and our effective royalty interest on Caserones in Chile. As in previous years, production royalties will continue to be complemented by option, advance royalty, and other pre-production payments from partnered projects across the global asset portfolio.

The Company will continue to strengthen its balance sheet over the course of the year by looking to retire portions of our long-term debt, continuing to evaluate equity markets, and the ongoing monetization of the Company’s marketable securities.

EMX is well positioned to identify and pursue new royalty and investment opportunities, while further filling a pipeline of royalty generation properties that provide opportunities for additional cash flow, as well as exploration, development, and production success.

Marketing Consulting Services

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with LFG Equities Corp. (“LFG”), an independent contractor with a business address at 402-9140 Leslie St., Richmond Hill, ON, L4B 0A9. Commencing on September 10^th, 2023 for an initial term of six months, under the terms of the Agreement, LFG will provide marketing consulting services to the Company to communicate to the financial community information about EMX by way of newsletters and be paid US$50,000 plus applicable taxes.

Corporate Updates

Execution of Updated Timok Royalty Agreement

EMX executed an amended and restated royalty agreement on September 1, 2023 for its Timok royalty property with Zijin (Europe) International Mining Company Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Zijin Mining Group Ltd (“Zijin”). EMX and Zijin have agreed that the Timok royalty will consist of a 0.3625% Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty that is uncapped and cannot be repurchased or reduced. The royalty covers Zijin’s Brestovac exploration permit area (including the Cukaru Peki Mining licenses), as well as portions of Zijin’s Jasikovo-Durlan Potak exploration license north of the currently active Bor Mine license (see EMX news release dated September 5, 2023). Cukaru Peki represents one of the premier copper and gold discoveries in the world in the past 10 years and is a top tier royalty asset for EMX.

Subsequent to the execution of the amended and restated royalty agreement, EMX received $6,676,000 in royalty proceeds from its Timok royalty property with Zijin which included $1,590,000 from 2021, $3,200,000 from 2022, and $1,890,000 up to June 30, 2023 (see EMX news release dated September 12, 2023). From that point forward EMX will continue to receive quarterly production royalty payments on an ongoing basis.

Execution of Acquisition Agreement for New Royalties with Franco-Nevada

EMX executed a binding term sheet with Franco-Nevada Corporation (“Franco-Nevada”) for the joint acquisition of newly created precious metals and copper royalties sourced by EMX (see EMX news release dated August 1, 2023). Franco-Nevada will contribute 55% (up to $5,500,000) and EMX will contribute 45% (up to $4,500,000) towards the royalty acquisitions, with the resulting royalty interests equally split (i.e. 50/50). The initial term is for three years, or until the maximum contributions totaling $10,000,000 from both companies have been met, and may be extended if mutually agreed by both companies. The agreement allows EMX to direct a large amount of capital towards the royalty generation aspect of its business model, and Franco-Nevada to participate in exploration stage royalty financing opportunities identified by EMX.

Royalty Acquisition and Royalty Generation Updates

During Q3 2023, the Company’s royalty business was active in North America, South America, Europe, Turkey, Australia and Morocco. The Company spent $4,769,000 (2022 – $5,269,000) on royalty acquisition and generation costs and recovered $1,140,000 (2022 – $3,247,000) from partners. Royalty acquisition and generation costs include exploration related activities, technical services, project marketing, land and legal costs, as well as third party due diligence for acquisitions. Included in revenue and other income was $1,409,000 in option, advance royalty, and other pre-production payments related to existing partnered projects as a result of royalty generation activities. The Company also completed seven new property agreements across the portfolio, including two in Canada, two in Norway, two in Sweden and one in Australia, while continuing to replace partnered properties with new royalty generation projects.

3 Take-Aways from Dolly Varden Silver’s (DV.V) latest drill results

Post author By admin
Post date November 10, 2023

Original Source: https://globalstocksnews.com/3-take-aways-from-dolly-varden-silvers-dv-v-latest-drill-results/

On November 6, 2023 Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV:DV) (OTC:DOLLF) released drill results from the Wolf Vein and – 1.5 kilometers to the north – the Moose Vein.

DV Silver is developing its 100% held Kitsault Valley Project located in The Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada, 25kms by road to tide water.

“The Golden Triangle is so named because it hosts some of the richest gold ore bodies in the world, as well as abundant silver, nickel and copper deposits,” confirms BC Business. It has 1.2 billion ounces silver estimated reserves, with 214 million proven and probable.

Three Take-aways from the November 6, 2023 drill results:

1. High grade silver continues at depth
2. Discovery of significant quantities of base metals
3. Moose Vein demonstrating similar metallic profile to Wolf Vein

Wolf Vein Highlights:

DV23-375, Southwest Extension step-out: 461 g/t AgEq* (296g/t Ag, 1.68% Pb, 3.01% Zn) over 26.99 meters, including 2,260 g/t AgEq* (1,475g/t Ag, 10.65% Pb, 12.00% Zn) over 0.50 meter from an 81-meter step-out.

DV23-379, Southwest Extension infill: 287 g/t AgEq* (247g/t Ag, 0.40% Pb, 0.73% Zn) over 18.21 meters, including 1,170g/t AgEq (1,125g/t Ag, 0.14% Pb, 1.09% Zn) over 0.50 meters.

Moose Vein highlights:

DV23-371: 712 g/t Ag over 1.00 meter within a 7.55 meters length interval averaging 269 g/t Ag

¹AgEq is calculated using $US1650/oz Au, $US20/oz Ag, $US0.90/lb Pb and $US1.10/lb Zn, assays are uncut

“The results we are seeing from the Wolf Vein continue to demonstrate depth continuity of the high-grade silver mineralization as well as an increase in base metal content,” stated Shawn Khunkhun, President and CEO of Dolly Varden Silver. “Drill hole DV23-375 has extended the plunge length to over 950 meters with increased thickness of the potentially underground bulk-mineable mineralization and it remains wide open for expansion. With over 70 drill holes remaining to be assayed and announced we eagerly await their results.”

When Dolly Varden purchased the Homestake Ridge Property from Fury, the primary objective was to consolidate assets, add size and scale. But Khunkhun and the DV Silver geological team are also exploring a hunch that two metallic zones are connected. DV needed to control both assets to meaningfully explore the hunch.

“What is special about the November 6, 2023 drill results is that these are big intercepts,” Khunkhun told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “We’re talking about an almost 27-meter intercept, grading at 461 g/t of silver equivalent.”

This is the first time during Khunkhun’s tenor as CEO, that DV has reported silver equivalencies.

“Along with 296 grams of silver, we have a significant lead and zinc kicker,” confirmed Khunkhun. “As we go deeper, this base metal zone may continue to add value to the deposit. We believe the Wolf Vein is potentially amenable to underground bulk mining.”

Bulk mining generally has lower mining costs associated with it, allowing for a lower cut off grade bringing in more material, increasing the tonnage per day and number of ounces mined.

“Some of these old, narrow vein deposits don’t work in the modern era,” Khunkhun told GSN. “You don’t want to be chasing narrow veins, hand sorting material. Our goal is that Dolly Varden Silver will be an efficient, highly mechanized mine with a low All-In-Sustaining-Cost (AISC).”

“We’ve already have a kilometer of plunge length at Wolf,” Khunkhun continued. “When we step out, we get solid hits like this. Why did Hecla put in $10 million last week? I suspect they are seeing the same potential we see at Wolf. Hecla’s goal is to increase silver production in Canada.”

About 47% of DV Silver is owned by institutional investors (Fury – 22%; Hecla 15%; Eric Sprott – 9%).

“I audition the institutional shareholders,” KhunKhun explained to GSN. “We have various entities throwing money at us at higher prices. It’s tempting to take the money. But I don’t want some hedge fund spontaneously deciding to rotate out of silver into uranium. It’s valuable to have stakeholders who share our long-term vision – like Hecla, Fury and Sprott.”

On November 6, 2023, Maurice Jackson, Founder and CEO of Proven & Probable conducted an interview with Mr. Khunkhun. Proven & Probable specialises in simplifying geological data. DV Silver sponsors the website, and Mr. Jackson is a long-term shareholder in DV Silver.

“We are very happy to welcome Hecla’s increased ownership stake,” Khunkhun told Mr. Jackson, “Hecla has demonstrated it is a sticky shareholder. They’re looking for the end product. The $10 million strategic investment raised their stake from 10% to about 15%. We’re happy to leverage their financial and technical contributions.”

A total of 51,454 meters was completed during 2023 in 115 drill holes at the Dolly Varden and Homestake Ridge areas with 23,923 of those from the Dolly Varden Project area.

The Contractor’s drills have been demobilized and the exploration camp has been winterized. The November 6, 2023 release includes eight holes from Wolf and four holes from Moose. A total of 31 holes for 15,860 meters were drilled at Wolf in 2023.

EMX Receives Q3 Royalty Payment from Esan

Post author By admin
Post date November 9, 2023

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 9, 2023) – EMX Royalty Corporation (NYSE American: EMX) (TSXV: EMX) (FSE: 6E9) (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce the receipt of US$356,718 in Q3 royalty proceeds from its Balya North royalty property in Türkiye, which is operated by Esan Eczacibaşi Endüstriyel Hammaddeler San. ve Tic. A.Ş. (“Esan”), a private Turkish company. EMX holds an uncapped 4% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on metals production from Balya North, a newly commissioned lead-zinc-silver mine in the Balya Mining District of northwestern Türkiye. The Q3 royalty payment is markedly higher than any previous payment and reflects another quarter of accelerating production at Balya North (see Figure 1).

The Q3 royalty payment was based upon the processing of 161,133 tonnes of mineralized material from Balya North, averaging 1.63% lead, 1.24% zinc and 51 grams per tonne of silver. Production continues to ramp up at Balya North after EMX received its initial royalty payments from the Balya North Mine in September 2022 (see EMX news release dated September 15, 2022).

Balya North Lead-Zinc-Silver Deposit: The Balya North lead-zinc-silver deposit is situated in the historic Balya mining district of northwestern Turkey. Mining at Balya has taken place since antiquity, with several generations of historical operations. The Balya North property contains extensive zones of shear-zone hosted and carbonate replacement style (“CRD”) lead-zinc-silver mineralization developed in and around a series of dacite intrusions emplaced into a limestone-rich sedimentary sequence.

Esan acquired the EMX royalty property at the end of 2019 (See EMX news release dated January 7, 2020) and is a private Turkish company that operates nearly 40 mines and eight processing plants. Esan also operates a lead-zinc mine (“Balya Main”) and flotation mill on the property immediately adjacent to EMX’s Balya North royalty property. The mineralization at Balya North is effectively an extension of the mineralization currently being mined by Esan in the Balya Main deposit.

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 is a precious, base and battery metals royalty company. EMX’s investors are provided with discovery, development, and commodity price optionality, while limiting exposure to risks inherent to operating companies. The Company’s common shares are listed on the NYSE American Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol EMX, and also trade on the Frankfurt exchange under the symbol “6E9”.
