Dolly Varden Silver Intersects 1.50m of 1,367 g/t Ag within 12.51 meters Grading 442 g/t Ag at Kitsol Vein

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 7, 2022) – Dolly Varden Silver Corporation (TSXV: DV) (OTCQX: DOLLF) (the “Company” or “Dolly Varden“) is pleased to announce results from drilling at the Torbrit Resource area, including infill and step-out drilling within the Kitsol Vein zone.

The high-grade, potentially bulk-mineable Kitsol Vein continued to deliver outstanding, contiguous silver and base metal mineralization, where DV22-291 intersected 12.51m (8.88m true width) averaging 442 g/t Ag, 0.68% Pb and 0.42% Zn, including of 1,367 g/t Ag over 1.50m (1.07m true width), as an up-dip infill hole from previous high-grade intercepts.

Highlights include:

  • DV22-289: 979 g/t Ag over 0.49 meters true width, step out at Torbrit Main
  • DV22-291: 442 g/t Ag over 8.88 meters true width, infill at Kitsol
  • DV22-298: 372 g/t Ag over 10.78 meters true width, up-dip extension at Kitsol
  • DV22-308: 297 g/t Ag over 6.59 meters true width, step out at Torbrit Main
  • DV22-312: 585 g/t Ag over 3.30 meters true width, step out at Torbrit Main

“In addition to discovery-focused exploration drilling, Dolly Varden Silver has been prioritizing resource expansion and upgrading at the Torbrit/Kitsol, Wolf, Homestake Main and Homestake Silver deposits. We continue to encounter wide, potentially bulk-mineable vein-hosted silver mineralization at Kitsol, and expect to announce significant drill results from the other resource areas in the next few weeks,” said Shawn, Khunkhun, President and CEO.

The 2022 exploration drill program on the Kitsault Valley trend has completed 37,061m in 108 drill holes. Drilling wrapped up in mid-October, with the majority of assays still pending. Additionally, ground geophysics, surface mapping and prospecting work were completed, evaluating historic prospects and identifying new silver and gold occurrences.

Torbrit Main and North Deposits consist of distinctive stratabound silver mineralization associated with a high potassium and coincident sodium depletion alteration signature. Layers consist of red jasper with bladed crystal growths after barite later replaced by silica. Relatively quick capping of the system by volcanic activity caused an overprinting of epithermal brecciation and veining which further augmented the silver grades within the deposit area.

The main focus of Torbrit step out drilling at the Torbrit Main Deposit targeted the southern limits of the current Mineral Resource. Drill holes were oriented to step-out from, as well as infill areas of modelled inferred resources (see Figure 3). The Torbrit horizon was intersected in all expansion holes; future infill drilling programs will target high grade shoots within the lower grade horizon, which were commonly encountered in historic mining at the Torbrit, Wolf and Dolly Varden deposits.

The Kitsol Vein is considered part of the epithermal, structurally controlled system that over printed the stratabound layers. Mineralization consists of pyrargerite (ruby silver), argentite and native silver in a silica breccia vein system. The northeast/southwest orientation of the vein and nature of the high grade silver plunge is similar to what is developing at the Wolf deposit 1.4km to the north (see figure 2).

Drilling during the 2022 season at Kitsol has encountered wide, high grade silver mineralization, commonly with overprinting high-grade vein shoots within wide vein sets. Previously reported step-out drill hole DV22-283 that intersected 50.18m (~30.0m true width) averaging 414 g/t Ag (see news release August 10, 2022) suggest multiple high-grade, steeply plunging yet wide silver shoots that extend to surface, as demonstrated by up-dip hole DV22-298 which intersected 21.55m (10.78m true width) grading 372 g/t Ag (see Figure 5). Additional results from step-out drill holes testing deeper, down plunge mineralization from DV22-283 at the Kitsol Vein are pending.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control

The Company adheres to CIM Best Practices Guidelines for exploration related activities conducted on its property. Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) procedures are overseen by the Qualified Person.

Dolly Varden QA/QC protocols are maintained through the insertion of certified reference material (standards), blanks and field duplicates within the sample stream. Drill core is cut in-half with a diamond saw, with one-half placed in sealed bags and shipped to the laboratory and the other half retained on site. Third party laboratory checks on 5% of the samples are carried out as well. Chain of custody is maintained from the drill to the submittal into the laboratory preparation facility.

Analytical testing was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The entire sample is crushed and a 500 gram split is pulverized to minus 200mesh. Multi-element analyses were determined by Inductively-Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for 48 elements following a 4-acid digestion process. High grade silver testing was determined by Fire Assay with either an atomic absorption, or a gravimetric finish, depending on grade range. Au is determined by Fire Assay on a 30g split.

Qualified Person

Rob van Egmond, P.Geo. Vice-President Exploration for Dolly Varden Silver, the “Qualified Person” as defined by NI43-101 has reviewed, validated and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release and supervises the ongoing exploration program at the Dolly Varden Project.

About Dolly Varden Silver Corporation

Dolly Varden Silver Corporation is a mineral exploration company focused on advancing its 100% held Kitsault Valley Project (which combines the Dolly Varden Project and the Homestake Ridge Project) located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada, 25kms by road to tide water. The 163 sq. km. project hosts the high-grade silver and gold resources of Dolly Varden and Homestake Ridge along with the past producing Dolly Varden and Torbrit silver mines. It is considered to be prospective for hosting further precious metal deposits, being on the same structural and stratigraphic belts that host numerous other, on-trend, high-grade deposits, such as Eskay Creek and Brucejack. The Kitsault Valley Project also contains the Big Bulk property which is prospective for porphyry and skarn style copper and gold mineralization, similar to other such deposits in the region (Red Mountain, KSM, Red Chris).

(TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announced a financing of Units (the “Financing”), whereby each Unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each Unit is priced at $0.20 (twenty cents). Each common share purchase warrant has a 2-year term and is exercisable at $0.30 (thirty cents).

SBMI announces it has closed on the first tranche of the Financing, being $447,000. This represents 2,235,000 common shares and 2,235,000 common share purchase warrants. The Company expects further tranches to close in the near future. In relation to the Financing the Company paid commissions by way of 84,000 broker warrants and cash commissions of $16,800. Insiders are still blacked out by order of the Chair and were not allowed to participate in the Financing.

On September 26, 2022 the Company announced it had found high-grade gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium and osmium (the “Bonus Materials”) in concentrates resulting from 200 tons of material from the Buckeye Mine. To help identify the source and/or location of the Bonus Materials, and to help determine whether the Bonus Materials are limited to the Buckeye veins or are also present in the host materials around the veins, the Company recently took samples from the diabase at several locations near and in the Buckeye Silver Mine. “Diabase” is also known as “country rock” or “host rock”, and is the material hosting the many veins in and near the Buckeye Silver Mine.

The Company announces it has received assay results from an independent lab with respect to those samples taken from the diabase. Those results are being considered and will be disclosed to the public as soon as possible.

Finally, and as previously disclosed, the Company has encountered procedural challenges in completing its first audit as an operating company, including but not limited to cross-border documentation. Some of these challenges were caused by COVID-19 restrictions on travel to the mill and mine sites in Arizona, others by a local inexperience with audit processes. Management sees these challenges as transitory and procedural. There are no items in disagreement, whether material or not, between the auditors and the Company. Management and the board expect to be able to file the audited financial statements and the MDA for the year ended June 30, 2022 imminently.

BHP warns of inflation risks in 2023, says China demand to stabilize

BHP Group Ltd, the world’s biggest miner by market value, said on Wednesday that inflationary pressures would remain a challenge next year, but that China will provide a source of stability for commodity demand.

The mining industry has been weighed down this year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine by a supply bottleneck that sparked off inflation and erased the demand-led inflation the industry had enjoyed previously, James Agar, BHP’s group procurement officer, said in a speech at the International Mining and Research Conference in Sydney.

“We do expect the lag effect of inflationary pressures to remain a persistent challenge through the 2023 financial year,” Agar said. Globally, the near-term macro outlook remains very uncertain and fragile, he said.

Mining firms have been warning high inflation could hit short-term demand and slow growth plans, although earlier this year skyrocketing prices for iron ore and other resources buoyed profits.

Prices of iron ore have since fallen due to a gloomy outlook for China, the world’s biggest steel producer.

Agar said Europe and the UK are “almost certainly going to experience recession”, and the US economy will slow down. But China’s demand for commodities will return as government stimulus measures take effect.

“We think China will be a source of stability for commodity demand over the next 12 months, as stimulus policies progressively take effect,” Agar said.

“While stimulus has produced growth in infrastructure and autos, we expect improvement in the housing sector to take a bit longer. The zero-Covid policy remains an overhang that creates additional uncertainty,” he said.

Goldshore Intersects 1.34 g/t Au over 90.95m in 100 Meter Step-Out to the North

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 2, 2022) – Goldshore Resources Inc. (TSXV: GSHR) (OTCQB: GSHRF) (FSE: 8X00) (“Goldshore” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce assay results from its ongoing 100,000-meter drill program at the Moss Lake Project in Northwest Ontario, Canada (the “Moss Lake Gold Project“).

Highlights:

  • Results for eight holes, drilled to both expand and infill historic but poorly surveyed drill sections in the Main Zone, have confirmed higher-grade gold mineralization within a large volume of well mineralized diorite with best intercepts of:
  • Results for four holes, drilled to evaluate the under-drilled Southwest Zone, have confirmed narrow higher-grade gold mineralized structures with best intercepts of:

President and CEO Brett Richards stated: “Throughout our entire drilling campaign from 2021 to now, we have consistently and repeatedly delivered promising drill results, indicating not only the size and scale potential of the Moss Lake Project, but also the quality of the higher-grade areas of the deposit. As we illustrated at the end of H1 2022, our focus turned from identifying and drilling the size of the global resource; to identifying the high(er) grade sections contained within the historical resource (and stepped out from the historical resource), and focusing on building a much smaller open pit project PEA around this. The results from this change in focus are evident in press releases in H1 2022 and Q3 2022, and continue with the results highlighted today. To that end, we are expediting our independent mineral resource estimate (“MRE“) on the high(er) grade sections within the historical resource, and look to have the results of this MRE presented to the market by the end of 2022, versus the end of Q1 2023, as previously guided. This will also lead to the Company accelerating a preliminary economic assessment (“PEA“) on a smaller, high(er) grade resource, but much more manageable project in terms of CapEx and project timeline, versus a large-scale project PEA on an updated larger resource similar to the historic resource. The target delivery to the market of the economic results of the PEA is slated for the end of Q1 2023, under current market conditions and circumstances, versus the end of Q2 2023, as previously guided.”

Over the last month, results have been received for eighteen holes, including:

  • Eight holes that have infilled areas of the Main Zone that are between sections drilled by historic holes with collar survey problems. They will replace the low-confidence historic holes in the upcoming resource model update.
  • Four holes drilled to evaluate the under-drilled Southwest Zone.
  • Five holes testing the margins of the main +1 g/t Au zones that provide valuable geological information in these marginal areas.

As with the historic holes, the Main and Southwest Zone holes intersected several broad zones of low-grade mineralization within the altered diorite intrusion host. Examples include 0.98 g/t Au over 50.9m from 51m and 0.32 g/t Au over 122m from 473m depth in MMD-22-036; 0.48 g/t Au over 88m from 388m and 0.53 g/t Au over 33m from 279m depth in MMD-22-042; 0.46 g/t Au over 133m from 443m depth and 0.35 g/t Au over 29.25m from 316.85m depth in MMD-22-048; 0.70 g/t Au over 126m from 335m depth and 0.89 g/t Au over 60.6m from 120.4m depth in MMD-22-053; 0.80 g/t Au over 25.35m from 563.65m depth in MMD-22-055; 0.64 g/t Au over 44m from 168m depth and 0.63 g/t Au over 33.65m from 237.35m depth in MMD-22-064; 0.47 g/t Au over 38.1m from 615.45m depth in MMD-22-066; and 0.46 g/t Au over 27.65m from 366.25m depth in MMD-22-078.

All these low-grade zones occur as envelopes to higher-grade structures that form a three-dimensional, anastomosing shear network that has developed in response to strain on the altered diorite intrusion. Results include the broad zones of +1 g/t Au mineralization shown in the highlights (e.g., 1.34 g/t Au over 90.95m from 254.05m depth in MMD-22-057) and several narrow high-grade intervals, including better intercepts of 39.3 g/t Au over 0.7m from 90.45m depth in MMD-22-036; 47.4 g/t Au over 0.5m from 420.25m depth in MMD-22-052; 11.4 g/t Au over 2.35m from 549m depth in MMD-22-056; 26.7 g/t Au over 1m from 287m depth in MMD-22-057; and 231 g/t Au over 0.35m from 182.75m depth in MMD-22-064.

Four holes were drilled into the Link zone and potential overlap between the QES zone and Moss Main zone to properly define the boundaries of each zone and to better understand the behavior of the southern edge of the altered diorite package. These dominantly drilled through the lesser altered and deformed porphyritic diorite phase containing several narrow lenses of low-grade mineralization as indicated by the historic drill results.

Geological modelling of the altered diorite host rock and anastomosing shear network at Moss Lake has progressed faster than anticipated and is now complete. As a result, the Company has embarked on an independent resource modelling exercise and has engaged international consulting group, CSA Global (an ERM group company) to complete this work. This will lead to a new Mineral Resource estimate that will be reported following National Instrument 43-101 standards for disclosure. This new estimate will be published before the end of 2022.

Pete Flindell, VP Exploration for Goldshore, said, “These drill results continue the vein of local high grade gold mineralization that bulks out to produce 50- to 200-meter-wide zones of +1 g/t Au gold mineralization within a “sea” of low-grade mineralization. This style of mineralization is capable of producing large, low-grade gold resources with a significant volume of higher-grade mineralization. We anticipate that this should, with the selection of the appropriate gold price for the constraining Whittle shell, allow the reporting of a smaller, higher-grade resource at the Moss Lake Project.”

Analytical and QA/QC Procedures

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

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

About Goldshore

Goldshore is an emerging junior gold development company, and owns the Moss Lake Gold Project located in Ontario. Wesdome is currently a large shareholder of Goldshore with an approximate 27% equity position in the Company. Well-financed and supported by an industry-leading management group, board of directors and advisory board, Goldshore is positioned to advance the Moss Lake Gold Project through the next stages of exploration and development.

About the Moss Lake Gold Project

The Moss Lake Gold Project is located approximately 100 km west of the city of Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is accessed via Highway 11 which passes within 1 km of the property boundary to the north. The Moss Lake Gold Project covers 14,292 hectares and consists of 282 unpatented and patented mining claims.

The Moss Lake Gold Project hosts a number of gold and base metal rich deposits including the Moss Lake Deposit, the East Coldstream Deposit (Table 3), the historically producing North Coldstream Mine (Table 4), and the Hamlin Zone, all of which occur over a mineralized trend exceeding 20 km in length. A historical preliminary economic assessment (the “Moss Lake Historical Estimate“) was completed on the Moss Lake Gold Project in 2013 and published by Moss Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“Moss Lake Gold Mines“)1,3. A historical mineral resource estimate (the “East Coldstream Historical Estimate“) was completed on the East Coldstream Deposit in 2011 by Foundation Resources Inc.2,3 In addition to these zones, the Moss Lake Gold Project also hosts a number of under-explored mineral occurrences which are reported to exist both at surface and in historically drilled holes. The Moss Lake Deposit is a shear-hosted disseminated-style gold deposit which outcrops at surface. It has been drilled over a 2.5 km length and to depths of 300 m with 376 holes completed between 1983 and 2017. The last drilling program conducted in 2016 and 2017 by Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (“Wesdome“), which consisted of widely spaced holes along the strike extension of the deposit was successful in expanding the mineralized footprint and hydrothermal system 1.6 km to the northeast. Additionally, the deposit remains largely open to depth. In 2017, Wesdome completed an induced polarization survey which traced the potential extensions of pyrite mineralization associated with the Moss Lake Deposit over a total strike length of 8 km and spanning the entire extent of the survey grids.

The East Coldstream Deposit is a shear-hosted disseminated-style gold deposit which locally outcrops at surface. It has been drilled over a 1.3 km length and to depths of 200 m with 138 holes completed between 1988 and 2017. The deposit remains largely open at depth and may have the potential for expansion along strike. Historic drill hole highlights from the East Coldstream Deposit include 4.86 g/t Au over 27.3 m in C-10-15.

The historically producing North Coldstream Mine is reported to have produced significant amounts of copper, gold and silver4 from mineralization with potential iron-oxide-copper-gold deposit style affinity. The exploration potential immediately surrounding the historic mining area is not currently well understood and historic data compilation is required.

The Hamlin Zone is a significant occurrence of copper and gold mineralization, and also of potential iron-oxide-copper-gold deposit style affinity. Between 2008 and 2011, Glencore tested Hamlin with 24 drill holes which successfully outlined a broad and intermittently mineralized zone over a strike length of 900 m. Historic drill hole highlights from the Hamlin Zone include 0.9 g/t Au and 0.35% Cu over 150.7 m in HAM-11-75.

The Moss Lake, East Coldstream and North Coldstream deposits sit on a mineral trend marked by a regionally significant deformation zone locally referred to as the Wawiag Fault Zone in the area of the Moss Lake Deposit. This deformation zone occurs over a length of approximately 20 km on the Moss Lake Gold Project and there is an area spanning approximately 7 km between the Moss Lake and East Coldstream deposits that is significantly underexplored.

The qualified persons for the Moss Lake Historical Estimate are Pierre-Luc Richard, MSc, PGeo (InnovExplo Inc), and Carl Pelletier, BSc, PGeo (InnovExplo Inc), and the effective date of the Moss Lake Historical Estimate is February 8, 2013. In-Pit results are presented undiluted and in situ, within Whittle-optimized pit shells. Underground results are presented undiluted and in situ, outside Whittle-optimized pit shells. The Moss Lake Historical Estimate includes 18 gold-bearing zones and 1 envelope containing isolated gold intercepts. Whittle parameters: mining cost = C$2.28; pit slope angle = 50.0 degrees; production cost = C$9.55; mining Dilution = 5%; mining recovery = 95%; processing recovery = 80% to 85%; gold price = C$1,500. In-Pit and Underground resources were compiled at cut-off grades from 0.3 to 5.0 g/t Au (for sensitivity characterization). A cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au was selected as the official in-pit cut-off grade and a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t Au was selected as the official underground cut-off grade. The Moss Lake Historical Estimate is based on 352 diamond drill holes (90,978 m) drilled from 1983 and 2008. A fixed density of 2.78 g/cm3 was used. A minimum true thickness of 5.0 m was applied, using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed or a value of zero when not assayed. Capping was established at 35 g/t Au, supported by statistical analysis and the high grade distribution within the deposit. Compositing was done on drill hole sections falling within the mineralized zone solids (composite = 1 m). Resources were evaluated from drill hole samples using the ID2 interpolation method in a multi-folder percent block model using Gems version 6.4. Based on geostatistics, the ellipse range for interpolation was 75m x 67.5m x 40m. The Indicated category is defined by combining the blocks within the two main zones and various statistical criteria, such as average distance to composites, distance to closest composite, quantity of drill holes within the search area. Ounce (troy) = metric tons x grade / 31.10348. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t). The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations in NI 43-101.

The East Coldstream Historical Estimate is based on a 0.4 g/t Au cut-off grade. The qualified persons for the East Coldstream Historical Estimate are Todd McCracken, P.Geo. (Tetratech Wardrop), and Jeff Wilson, Ph.D., P.Geo. (Tetratech Wardrop), and the effective date of the East Coldstream Historical Estimate is December 12, 2011. Resources are presented unconstrained, undiluted and in situ. The East Coldstream Historical Estimate includes 2 gold-bearing zones. A cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au was selected as the official resource cut-off grade. The East Coldstream Historical Estimate is based on 116 diamond drill holes drilled from 1986 to 2011. A fixed density of 2.78 g/cm3 was used. Capping was established at 5.89 g/t Au and 5.70 g/t Au for domains EC-1 and EC-2, respectively. This is supported by statistical analysis and the high grade distribution within the deposit. Compositing was done on drill hole sections falling within the mineralized zone solids (composite = 1 m). Resources were evaluated from drill hole samples using the ID2 interpolation method in a multi-folder percent block model using Datamine Studio 3 version 3.20.5321.0. Resource categorization is based on spatial continuity based from the variography of the assays within the drillholes. Ounce (troy) = metric tons x grade / 31.10348. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes and g/t). The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest thousand. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations in NI 43-101.

(3) The reader is cautioned that the Moss Lake Historical Estimate East and the East Coldstream Historical Estimate (the “Historical Estimates“) are considered historical in nature and as such is based on prior data and reports prepared by previous property owners. The reader is cautioned not to treat them, or any part of them, as current mineral resources or reserves. The Company has determined these historical resources are reliable, and relevant to be included here in that they demonstrate simply the mineral potential of the Moss Lake Gold Project. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the Historical Estimates as current resources and Goldshore is not treating the Historical Estimates as current resources. Significant data compilation, re-drilling, re-sampling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the Historical Estimates can be classified as a current resource. There can be no assurance that any of the historical mineral resources, in whole or in part, will ever become economically viable. In addition, mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Even if classified as a current resource, there is no certainty as to whether further exploration will result in any inferred mineral resources being upgraded to an indicated or measured mineral resource category. The Historical Estimates relating to inferred mineral resources were calculated using prior mining industry standard definitions and practices for estimating mineral resource and mineral reserves. Such prior definitions and practices were utilized prior to the implementation of the current standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining for mineral resource estimation, and have a lower level of confidence.

Bravo Intersects Exceptional Thickness of High-Grade PGMs at Luanga

Highlights include 58.8m @ 2.11g/t PGM+Au, and 19.8m @ 2.68g/t PGM+Au

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 2, 2022 /CNW/ – Bravo Mining Corp. (TSXV: BRVO) (OTCQX: BRVMF), (“Bravo” or the “Company“) today announced that it has received assay results from an additional nine infill diamond drill holes (“DDH”) from its Luanga palladium + platinum + rhodium + gold + nickel (3PGM+Au+Ni) project (“Luanga” or “Luanga PGM+Au+Ni“), located in the Carajás Mineral Province, state of Pará, Brazil.

“Drill hole DDH22LU029, which intersected 58.8m @ 2.11g/t 3PGM+Au from 9.7m, is one of the broadest zones of 3PGM+Au mineralization intersected at Luanga to date. This drill hole also demonstrates that multiple stacked 3PGM+Au+Ni zones exist stratigraphically above (see section attached) and below the previously defined mineralized horizons. This increases our confidence in both the overall 3PGM+Au+Ni potential of Luanga, and the potential for higher-grade nickel sulphide mineralization given the 39.4m @ 0.16% Ni intersected from 29.1m,” said Luis Azevedo, Chairman and CEO of Bravo. “Furthermore, DDH22LU029 intersected a zone of nickel-rich disseminated sulphides below the main mineralized horizons (see section attached), yet still within the same orthopyroxenite host stratigraphy, again opening the possibility for new as yet unseen styles of nickel sulphide mineralization at depth.”

Highlights

  • The infill drilling campaign continues to advance rapidly, while results compare well with, or exceed, the intercepts in historic drill holes on nearby drill sections, in both tenor and mineralized thicknesses.
  • Highlights of Bravo’s recent intercepts are tabulated below, with details attached:

  • In addition, two diamond drill holes were completed on two drill sections, 50m north and south of DDH22LU047, the hole that intercepted massive sulphides (see August 16th, 2022 news release). All four step out drill holes have intersected varying amounts of semi-massive sulphides. Assay results are pending.
  • Downhole Electromagnetic surveys (“EM”) on these 4 drill holes, and surface fixed loop EM over the Luanga deposit, have commenced.
  • 102 drill holes have been completed, for a total of 17,337 metres (or 68% of Phase 1 Drilling Program), including 6 twin holes and 6 metallurgical holes.
  • 17,689 samples submitted for assay to date including 3,216 re-assay samples from historic drill core.
  • 6 drill rigs operating onsite.

Luanga Drill Program

The Phase 1 diamond drill program continues as planned at Luanga. Six drill rigs are on site, with drilling progressing in various locations along the entire 8.1km strike length of the known Luanga mineralized envelope. To date, 102 drill holes have been completed, for a total of 17,337 metres (or 68%) of the planned 25,500 metre Phase 1 drill program.

Schedule 2: Assay Methodologies and QAQC

Samples follow a chain of custody between collection, processing and delivery to the ALS laboratory in Parauapebas, state of Pará, Brazil. The drill core is delivered to the core shack at Bravo’s Luanga site facilities and processed by geologists who insert certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates into the sampling sequence. Drill core is half cut and placed in secured polyurethane bags, then in security-sealed sacks before being delivered directly from the Luanga site facilities to the Parauapebas ALS laboratory by Bravo staff. Additional information about the methodology can be found on the ALS global website (ALS) in the analytical guides.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (“QAQC“) is maintained internally at the lab through rigorous use of internal certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates. An additional QAQC program is administered by Bravo using certified reference materials, duplicate samples and blank samples that are blindly inserted into the sample batch. If a QAQC sample returns an unacceptable value an investigation into the results is triggered and when deemed necessary, the samples that were tested in the batch with the failed QAQC sample are re-tested.

Riverside Resources Director Brian Groves Passes Away

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 1, 2022) – Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (FSE: 5YY) (“Riverside” or the “Company”) is sad to report the passing of its longest serving director, Brian Groves, who passed due to natural causes on Monday Oct 24, 2022. Brian had become the first additional director to the company on Oct 1, 2007, immediately after the Company listed on the TSX-V on August 28, 2007. Brian’s leadership added immediate experience, commitment, and sage guidance to the Riverside team and throughout the Company’s growth over the past 15 years. While remaining a strong voice of reason and value for all stakeholders, Brian’s help with First Nations and mentoring were among his key traits. His knowledge of geology, geophysics and the mineral exploration business helped guide the company on multiple occasions.

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, commented: “While being a great director, Brian was a constant supporter of Riverside and a friend. He was integral in helping us on many occasions with finding more balance and perspective in the initiatives we took on. To that effect, he also had a continued focus on family and still regularly kept up with our industry. Brian will be dearly missed!”

The Company would like to direct all parties, interested in offering condolences to the Groves family, to the following link: https://www.drakecremation.com/brian-john-groves-1954-2022/

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rover Metals Corp. (TSXV: ROVR) (OTCQB: ROVMF) (FSE:4XO) (“Rover” or the “Company”) announces that further to its release of October 20, 2022, the Company has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) to consolidate its outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares”) on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Common Share for each six (6) pre-consolidation Common Shares (the “Consolidation”). The Company currently has 157,585,212 Common Shares issued and outstanding and following the completion of the Consolidation will have 26,264,202 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Effective at the opening October 31, 2022, the common shares of the Company will begin trading on a consolidated basis.

There will be no name change and no ticker symbol change in connection with the Consolidation and shareholder approval is not required.

Judson Culter, CEO at Rover Metals, states “a consolidation of our Company’s securities is necessary to position Rover for growth and success with our new critical mineral projects.

Additionally, the Company’s existing gold projects require expanded Phase 2 Exploration Programs. Management and the Directors of the Company believe that the timing is right for a consolidation as the Company will need to finance future exploration at all of its mineral resource projects.
