VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO, OTCQB: MLRKF) (“Millrock” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed a binding letter agreement (“Letter Agreement”) with Mine Discovery Fund Pty. Ltd. (“MDF”) concerning its El Batamote porphyry copper exploration project in Mexico. MDF is a private Australian company. In good faith, MDF has made an initial US$50,000 cash payment upon signing the Letter Agreement. A definitive agreement (“Definitive Agreement”) has been prepared will be signed immediately following the formation of a Mexico subsidiary company by MDF. MDF has placed Batamote into a wholly-owned subsidiary company called Latin America Copper Limited(“LatCopper”) along with other assets in Chile. MDF indicates it has commenced compliance documentation for a potential ASX or TSX listing in the first half of 2022.

Millrock President and CEO Gregory Beischer commented: “Batamote has excellent potential to discover a porphyry copper deposit. We know already that breccia-style and porphyry copper mineralization is present. We are particularly excited to drill-test beneath what appears to be a leach cap alteration zone at a prospect called El Choclo NW. The project is situated within a belt that has produced very large porphyry copper deposits being mined by others as evidenced by the Cananea and La Caridad mines.”

Latin American Copper Director Joseph Webb commented: “With the addition of El Batamote, LatCopper has three exceptional cornerstone exploration assets with evidence of Tier 1 scale potential in the globally significant copper belts of Latin America. El Batamote is 25 kilometers northwest of Grupo Mexico’s La Caridad copper mine (5.98 billion tonnes at 0.34% copper equivalent) with an untested leach cap identified along strike from known mineralisation. This indicates potential for supergene mineralisation at Choclo. The Bata Sur definitive mineralised porphyry system intersected by historic drilling remains open along strike.”

Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, LatCopper will have the option to purchase a 100% interest in the concessions that underlie the Batamote copper project. To earn the interest, LatCopper will have to make cash payments totalling US$1,000,000 over five years, execute US$6,000,000 dollars in exploration work, and pay Millrock US$250,000 in shares when LatCopper becomes a publicly listed company. In the event that LatCopper exercises the option to purchase the Batamote project, annual advanced minimum royalty (“AMR”) payments will be triggered. The first payment will be US$50,000 and the payment will increase by US$50,000 each year until a cap of US$500,000 is reached. Annual payments will then remain at the capped level until a mine reaches commercial production. At that point, a Net Smelter Return production royalty of 1.0% will be triggered. Any AMR payments made by LatCopper can be credited against production royalty payments.

About the El Batamote Project

The project is located 100 kilometers south of the Sonora – Arizona border and 140 kilometers north of the mining hub of Hermosillo in northeastern Sonora State, Mexico. The project is fully accessible by road and covers nearly 4,000 hectares. Millrock previously purchased the concessions and historical exploration data from a subsidiary of Teck Resources Ltd., as announced by Millrock in a November 2015 press release. The project is situated within the Cananea-La Caridad Copper Porphyry belt (Figure 1). This district-scale structural trend is situated within the larger North American porphyry copper province containing over 20 copper-molybdenum deposits and mines in Arizona, New Mexico, and Sonora.

El Batamote contains alteration and geochemistry characteristics of a Cu-Mo porphyry system. Important historical work has been conducted on the property by large companies such as Phelps Dodge, BHP, Noranda, Peñoles, and Teck. Abundant information was generated by prior workings in the south and central part of the claim block and includes regional and semi-detail mapping, geochemistry, petrography, spectrometry, geophysics and drilling with more than 10,000 meters of diamond core having been drilled.

The exploration led to the discovery of several key prospects: Bata Sur, El Choclo NW and El Choclo West (Figure 2). Review of the historic data has led Millrock geologists to make new exploration observations, conclusions, and recommendations. Preliminary plans include geophysical surveys at El Choclo NW, where a possible leach cap is situated adjacent to known porphyry mineralization. No drilling has been done beneath the alteration zone. At the Bata Sur prospect, breccia pipe style mineralization has been intersected by prior drilling. Drilling is recommended to test for higher grade and to test previously untested geochemical anomalies. Millrock has drilling permits in hand.

Figure 2. Prospect Location Map is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/b48bb9da-f767-4ecf-af5b-4b76c395f052.

The lithology and alteration at Batamote are similar to that found at the La Caridad and Cananea mines. The mining concession covers Late Cretaceous Laramide age intermediate composition volcanic sequences which are intruded by a large, multi-phase batholith with multiple, mineralized porphyry pulses along a northwest-trending structural corridor. Porphyry dikes cut the system and are followed by later, mid-Tertiary post-mineral tuffaceous rocks, all of which are cut by long-lived northeast-trending and north-south fault structures. Intermediate volcanic rocks are the main host to copper mineralization. These rocks contain strong hydrothermal alteration related to porphyry-type systems in a three-kilometer by six-kilometer area that on the west side, is truncated by north-west to north-south trending post-mineral faults. Quaternary gravels cover bedrock west of these faults, but porphyry mineralization may be concealed below as potentially indicated by geophysical surveys at Choclo W.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Novo has identified multiple discrete untested aeromagnetic anomalies with magnetic characteristics comparable to the “Hemi-style” gold-bearing sanukitoid intrusions being developed by De Grey Mining Ltd. (“De Grey”) (ASX: DEG).
  • Novo’s extensive Pilbara land package includes 216 km2 of highly prospective yet under-explored Mallina Basin geology across a significant NE trending mineralized corridor potentially extending to De Grey’s Hemi gold discovery (Figure 1).
  • Review of historical exploration has defined two large (> 1 km strike) coincident high-order Au-As-Sb soil anomalies along the structural corridor in the vicinity of the Becher epithermal system.
  • Reconnaissance drilling undertaken by another issuer in 1997 (20 x 200 m) within the Au-As-Sb anomalous zones intersected up to 4.38 g/t Au. This information has not been verified by Novo and is not necessarily representative of mineralization throughout the Egina project.
  • Exploration planned for early 2022 includes high-resolution aeromagnetics, regolith and basement mapping, grid soil sampling and drilling to test these priority targets.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Novo Resources Corp. (“Novo” or the “Company”) (TSX: NVO, NVO.WT & NVO.WT.A) (OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to announce that it has identified a series of new targets in the northern sector of the Egina project centred on exploration licence 47/3673 (Figure 2). These newly identified targets are located within a broad NE-trending structural corridor which forms part of a network of shear zones and sanukitoid intrusive centres that host De Grey’s recent Hemi discovery1. Hemi is one of Australia’s recent major gold discoveries, hidden under 20 to 30 m of transported cover.

The new targets include multiple discrete magnetic targets identified from detailed aeromagnetic interpretation, interpreted to represent potential intrusive bodies under cover, and extensive Au-As-Sb soil anomalies in the vicinity of the epithermal vein system at Becher.

Figure 2 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/af5d3d06-2ab9-4d90-9b95-68ca257c4026

Exploration licence 47/3673 has few outcrops (approximately 10% of the tenement contains outcrop and subcrop) and is essentially covered by colluvial and alluvial material, calcrete and several ridges of aeolian sand dunes. The large (> 1 km long) coincident Au-As-Sb soil geochemical anomalies are restricted to areas of weathered outcrop and subcrop only, and thus the bedrock targets remain open under transported cover for several kilometres to the WSW and ENE.

Previous reconnaissance inclined rotary air blast (“RAB”) drilling by Resolute Mining Limited (“Resolute”) (ASX: RSG) in 1997 across the northern Becher Au-As-Sb anomaly yielded encouraging results including multiple gold assays of greater than 1 g/t Au (Figure 3) including:

  • 3m @ 3.68 g/t Au from 25m (LGRB306) including 1m @ 4.38 g/t Au from 25m
  • 1m @ 1.04 g/t Au from 30m (LGRB294)
  • 1m @ 1.63 g/t Au from 26m (LGRB299)
  • 2m @ 1.09 g/t Au from 32m (LGRB300)

Table 1 below provides a list of location information plus significant intersections from RAB drilling.

This historical data was disclosed in annual exploration reports (“Reports”) filed by Resolute on the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety’s (“DMIRS”) website in 1997. The technical information contained in Table 1 has been extracted from the Reports. Reference should be made to the Reports which are available on DMIRS’ website (https://geodocs.dmirs.wa.gov.au/Web/documentlist/10/Report_Ref/A55647).

A qualified person has not verified the technical information contained in the Reports, and Novo is unaware of the existence of any technical report prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects or the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in connection with the technical information contained in the Reports. Novo is unable to comment on the reliability of the technical information contained in the Reports and therefore, reliance should not be placed on such technical information.

“Novo’s exploration team has been diligently reviewing the northern portion of its Egina land holdings for prospectivity for Hemi-type discoveries,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Non-Executive Co-Chairman and a director of Novo. “Numerous potential intrusive centers resembling sanukitoids like those at Hemi exist along a NE trending corridor extending from Novo’s tenure to Hemi. At Becher, a coincident Au-As-Sb soil anomaly is associated with an interpreted cluster of such intrusions. Novo plans to undertake high-resolution aeromagnetics, regolith and basement mapping and grid soil sampling in preparation for drilling in 2022.”

2022 Egina Basement Gold Program

Historical data analysis is ongoing at Egina, with further geophysical and structural interpretation to aid in drill targeting to be completed early in 2022. Drilling is planned to test intrusive targets defined by high-resolution aeromagnetics, the extensive, coincident Au-As-Sb soil anomalies at Becher and targets defined by historic RAB drilling.

Gold analyses from drilling programs will be completed by PhotonAssay through the Intertek Laboratory in Perth, where Novo are currently receiving 7 – 9 day turnaround times for gold assay.

TORONTO, Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LAB | OTCQX:NKOSF | FNR: 2N6) (“LabGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce further high-grade intercepts of near surface gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone at its 100% controlled Kingsway project near Gander, Newfoundland. These holes were drilled as part of the Company’s ongoing 50,000 metre drill program. The Kingsway project is located in the highly prospective central Newfoundland gold belt.

Two holes K-21-28 and -79 both contained high-grade intervals. Hole K-21-28 intersected 76.24 g/t Au over 0.5m from 175 metres and Hole K-21-79 intersected 32.53 g/t Au over 0.8m from 162.55m, both in the HTC Zone. In addition, Hole K-21-58 intersected 7.25g/t Au over 1m from 161m in a newly defined mineralized zone in the footwall to the HTC Zone. This HTC Footwall Zone is also defined by previously released intersections of 128.51g/t Au over 1.12m in Hole K-21-47 and 11.68g/t Au over 0.91m in Hole K-21-11 as shown in Figure 1. A summary of the high-grade intersections, as well as other holes with assays recently received, are given in Table 1.

“We continue to find high-grade gold mineralization down plunge in the HTC Zone. The zone has now been tested to approximately 200 metres vertically and remains open at depth,” said Roger Moss, President and CEO of the Company. “We are also pleased to confirm a third mineralized zone in the footwall to the HTC Zone. We suspected the existence of this footwall zone for a while, but it has now shown sufficient continuity to call it a separate zone. This clearly shows the potential for multiple high-grade mineralized zones at the Big Vein target. Drilling to delineate the footwall zone and to test the down plunge extension of the HTC Zone is ongoing.”

Table 2. Drill hole collar details

Big Vein target

The Big Vein target is an auriferous quartz vein exposed at surface that has been traced over 400 metres along the Appleton Fault Zone. It lies within a larger northeast-southwest trending “quartz vein corridor” that stretches for over 7.5 kilometres as currently outlined, with potential for expansion along the 12km strike length of the Appleton Fault Zone in both directions. Gold mineralization observed at Big Vein includes visible gold in quartz veins, assays of samples from which range from 1.87g/t to 1,065g/t gold. The visible gold is typically hosted in annealed and vuggy gray quartz, that is locally stylolitic with vugs often containing euhedral quartz infilling features characteristic of epizonal gold deposits.

The ongoing 50,000 metre drill program has now tested Big Vein over approximately 250 metres of strike length and to vertical depths of 200 metres. Drilling has produced high grade intercepts as well as wide areas of gold mineralization associated with significant quartz veining and sulphide mineralization including arsenopyrite, pyrite and possible boulangerite noted along vein margins and as strong disseminations in the surrounding wall rocks.

QA/QC

True widths of the reported intersections have yet to be calculated. Assays are uncut. Samples of HQ and NQ split core are securely stored prior to shipping to Eastern Analytical Laboratory in Springdale, Newfoundland for assay. Eastern Analytical is an ISO/IEC17025 accredited laboratory. Samples are routinely analyzed for gold by standard 30g fire assay with ICP (inductively coupled plasma) finish with samples containing visible gold assayed by metallic screen/fire assay. The company submits blanks and certified reference standards at a rate of approximately 5% of the total samples in each batch.

Qualified Person

Roger Moss, PhD., P.Geo., President and CEO of LabGold, a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements as set out in NI 43-101, has read and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this release.

The Company gratefully acknowledges the Newfoundland and Labrador Ministry of Natural Resources’ Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) Program for its financial support for exploration of the Kingsway property.

About Labrador Gold
Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in Eastern Canada.

In early 2020, Labrador Gold acquired the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kingsway project in the Gander area of Newfoundland. The three licenses comprising the Kingsway project cover approximately 12km of the Appleton Fault Zone which is associated with gold occurrences in the region, including those of New Found Gold immediately to the south of Kingsway. Infrastructure in the area is excellent located just 18km from the town of Gander with road access to the project, nearby electricity and abundant local water. LabGold is drilling a projected 50,000 metres targeting high-grade epizonal gold mineralization along the Appleton Fault Zone following encouraging early results. The Company has approximately $32 million in working capital and is well funded to carry out the planned program.

The Hopedale property covers much of the Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretches over 60 km. The belt is typical of greenstone belts around the world but has been underexplored by comparison. Work to date by Labrador Gold show gold anomalies in rocks, soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 km along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 40km strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Company has 153,711,033 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.

What Became of the Crow

Novo Resources

Following is a recent discussion with Justin O’Connell in which we talk about how rapidly the West is changing and on the bobo culture and utopian expectations of those in the Silicon Valley:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=R8mokgwV0ng%3Ffeature%3Doembed

On Investments

I recently read a fabulous book, “What Became of the Crow” by Robert Moriarty, a no holds barred account of the dealings— including the dirty ones—and the psychology and personalities of those in the mining industry. I met Mr. Moriarty on a trip to the Beaton’s Creek project of Novo Resources. The story is written with Novo, Dr. Quinton Hennigh, the Pilbara area, and a well-known Australian mining entrepreneur, Mark Creasy, as the fulcrum.

“Quinton Hennigh’s primary strength is his uncanny ability to think laterally; to view things from a different perspective,” says Mr. Moriarty. No wonder, “you love him, or you hate him.” Dr. Hennigh has theorized about the genesis of gold in the Pilbara area, where Novo controls an extensive land package and, now, a producing mine.

I have rarely seen a book on the mining industry. If you are interested in it and what goes on inside it, I seriously recommend “What Became of the Crow.”

Novo Resources (NVO; C$1.58) has been beaten down by troubles at the processing facility, which for a start-up operation is not only expected but made worse by supply chain problems and the lack of mobility of skilled labour. In my view, NVO currently trades at what it would have had it nothing else than the current mining operations. As an investor, I get a vast prospective area—including Karratha Gold Project and Egina—for free.

Vox Announces Q3 2021 Revenues and Multiple Royalty Production Records

TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2021 /CNW/ – Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX) (“Vox” or the “Company“), a high growth precious metals focused royalty company, is pleased to announce that it has realized preliminary quarterly royalty revenue of C$1,558,800 (US$1,223,400)(1) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021.

Quarterly revenue benefitted from record royalty-linked gold production by Karora Resources Inc. (TSX: KRR) from the Hidden Secret and Mousehollow deposits at Higginsville covered by the Dry Creek royalty and record royalty-linked iron ore production volumes by Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN) at Koolyanobbing, and consistent royalty revenues from each of the Company’s Janet Ivy gold royalty and Brauna diamond royalty. Royalty revenues relative to Q2 2021 were inline in spite of a significant reduction in realised iron ore pricing at Koolyanobbing.

Quarterly, year to date, and annual revenue guidance figures are summarized in the below table:

 Three months endedSeptember 30, 2021Nine months ended
September 30, 2021
(Fiscal 2021 YTD)		2021 Annual
Guidance
Royalty revenue (C$)$1,558,800$3,856,000$4,000,000 – $5,000,000
Royalty revenue (US$)$1,223,400(1)$3,077,500$3,200,000 – $4,000,000

Kyle Floyd, Chief Executive Officer stated: “We are pleased to announce another quarter of strong royalty revenue and multiple royalty-linked production records at Higginsville and Koolyanobbing. The Vox portfolio remains on track to deliver revenue at the higher end of our expectations, even in light of revenue guidance doubling in July 2021. Further, we anticipate first royalty revenue from our Segilola asset during Q4/Q1, following the achievement of commercial production at Segilola in October. The coming quarters present even more value accretive developments for Vox shareholders to look forward to, as we continue our industry leading organic growth trajectory from 5 to 10 producing assets by late 2023.”
