Burlington, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 10, 2022) – Silver Bullet Mines Corp. (TSXV: SBMI) (OTCQB: SBMCF) (‘SBMI’ or ‘the Company’) announces the Ontario Securities Commission revoked its failure to file cease trade order (“FFCTO”) against SBMI on Thursday, November 10, 2022.
The FFCTO was imposed on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, as a result of the Company not filing its audited financial statements and MDA as at June 30, 2022 on schedule. As previously disclosed, during the audit process there were no items of disagreement as between the Company and its auditors; rather, the delay in filing the audited financial statements and MDA was procedural, linked to the Arizona team’s lack of familiarity with the audit requirements for a reporting issuer. These procedural issues are being remedied going forward.

Cautionary and Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements as they relate to SBMI and its subsidiaries. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but represent management’s current expectation of future events, and can be identified by words such as “believe”, “expects”, “will”, “intends”, “plans”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “continues” and similar expressions. Although management believes that the expectations represented in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be correct.
By their nature, forward-looking statements include assumptions, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. If and when forward-looking statements are set out in this new release, SBMI will also set out the material risk factors or assumptions used to develop the forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, SBMI assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to: the impact of SARS CoV-2 or any other global virus; reliance on key personnel; the thoroughness of its QA/QA procedures; the continuity of the global supply chain for materials for SBMI to use in the production and processing of ore; shareholder and regulatory approvals; activities and attitudes of communities local to the location of the SBMI’s properties; risks of future legal proceedings; income tax matters; fires, floods and other natural phenomena; the rate of inflation; availability and terms of financing; distribution of securities; commodities pricing; currency movements, especially as between the USD and CDN; effect of market interest rates on price of securities; and, potential dilution. SARS CoV-2 and other potential global viruses create risks that at this time are immeasurable and impossible to define.
I wrote a piece a few days back listing ten exceptionally low market cap stocks selling for less than $.05 a share. Kesselrun Resources (KES-V) was one. They closed on November 2 at $.03 a share. I had picked a lot up at that price believing they were perfectly positioned to ride the bull rally we are in to a much higher price.
The yearly low was $.02 a few weeks ago on September 29th. At that price the company had less than a $2 million market cap while still sitting on over $1 million in cash. That was a week after the company released exceptional results on the 22nd. Those assays ran as high as 14.4 g/t Au over 11 meters within a 124.0-meter intercept averaging 1.8 g/t Au. Frankly I bought because I saw almost no risk. I have believed for two months that we are at a major low in the metals and resource stocks.
The more I looked into the company the more I liked it. The Huronian project has a past producing high-grade gold mine and a historic resource of 546 thousand ounces of gold at just below a half-ounce to the tonne. Kesselrun has 100% ownership of the 4600 ha land package located in the mining friendly province of Ontario.
But it gets even more attractive. The company has drilled another 7200 meters in their 32 hole 2022 drill program still to be released. Frankly the Canadian and US assay labs have failed to keep up with the increased demand after the Covid hoax ended and have cost investors billions of dollars. How can you invest wisely if drill results are not released until many months of shareholder boredom? I’m told by company management that all 32 holes “should” be out before the end of November. I’ll believe it when I see it, the assay labs are really screwing their clients.
There is other interesting news of possible significance to Kesselrun’s 2023 drill program. The company finished a NuTEM and magnetics survey in the summer. The purpose is to deliver “3D subsurface voxel models of the survey area.” If you are not fully conversant with what a voxel model is, don’t worry about it. I’m not either but I am certain they are important.
The company has another 100% owned 8900 ha project they call Bluffpoint. It’s an early stage granite hosted system similar to that of the Rainey River Gold mine some 50 km down strike that produced 250,000 ounces a year at 1.1g/t Au.
At today’s price the company still has a market cap of under $5 million. It was cheap at below $2 million and is still cheap. The shorts are creeping higher in the anticipation of a private placement in the near-term but I suspect they have gotten a little too cute and may get mousetrapped. We have seen the bottom. Gold has climbed right at $100 an ounce in the last three days. It’s going to go a lot higher when retail investors begin to understand that when your ship comes in you don’t want to be out at the airport.
With the quality of ounces KES has in their historic resource and jurisdiction, their gold should be worth $40 to $100 an ounce. That would value the company at $22 million to $55 million. The company is an easy ten bagger and the 32 holes that should be released in the next three weeks should be the icing on the cake.
Kesselrun is going to advertise. I have bought shares in the open market. Do your own due diligence, I am biased.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 8, 2022) – Provenance Gold Corp. (CSE: PAU) (OTCQB: PVGDF) (the “Company” or “Provenance“) is pleased to announce that a NI 43-101 technical report has been filed on SEDAR for its Eldorado gold property in Malheur County, Oregon. The purpose of this report was to form a baseline for the property, which will be expanded further in 2023 following a confirmation drilling program planned by the Company. Eldorado has a historic drill hole database consisting of 242 drill holes that have outlined a large shallow open-ended gold system. This historical database is currently not sufficient as the basis for developing a current mineral resource, but work is underway to verify and bring current the historical data.
In 1990 the first mineral inventory was calculated by Pincock, Alan and Holt (PAH) a reputable engineering firm that was used industry wide for this type of work. PAH modeled 158 of the historic drill holes which identified approximately 52,896,000 tons that graded 0.578 g/t gold (0.0169 oz/t gold) at a cut-off of 0.274 grams per ton (0.008 oz/t) in the completely open-ended gold system. The Company is aware of a second historical resource estimate that was calculated by ICAN Minerals and a further projected resource estimate by ICAN from work completed between 1989 and 1997 where the tonnage and grade were substantially higher. The Company is not treating any of these estimates as current mineral resources and a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the estimates as current mineral resources. The estimates were prepared prior to the enactment of National Instrument 43-101 and should not be relied upon for investment decisions. The purpose of presenting this information is to show that the Eldorado property has potential to hold a large mineral inventory. Provenance plans to update these historical estimates into a current resource model. Near term work includes confirmation drilling by twinning a number of the historic holes, certifying and comparing assays between the old and new holes, validating all historic holes in the field with a GPS and confirming historic metallurgical test results. When the Company is comfortable with these upgrades in compliance, then a new stand-alone current resource can be calculated. Other than these, the Company is not aware of any more recent estimates prepared for the property.
Within the Eldorado mineralized area there are many higher-grade zones. For example, as quoted from the NI 43-101 report, ICAN Minerals’ hole R-96-C-1 intersected 1.51 g/t gold (0.0441 oz/t gold) over 196.9 meters (646 feet). The estimate predates and does not comply with current CIM Definition Standards but illustrates that the gold system is large and extends to depth, not just in area.
Examples of High Gold Intercepts in Some Drill Holes
“The Eldorado magmatic/hydrothermal system is interpreted as a classic porphyry gold system. Gold is found in veinlets, stockworks, fractures, and hydrothermal breccias. Mineralization is controlled by both strong fracture development and pyrite veining coincident with gold mineralization. Pyrite veining, or its oxidized equivalent, is common throughout all of the drill holes.”
The historic metallurgical work suggests the gold is largely recoverable by standard methods. Dawson Metallurgical Laboratories and Mountain States R&D International conducted metallurgical tests that were encouraging, and these tests will be duplicated using material obtained from the upcoming drill program.
“Dawson composited five unoxidized sulfide-bearing samples into a 13.15 kg test sample that assayed 1.233 g/t gold (0.036 oz/t gold). Pyrite was found to be the most common sulfide. Approximately 90% of the gold was recovered by two-stage gravity-flotation. Significant free gold was observed in both the gravity and flotation concentrates.”
Additionally.
“The Mountain States laboratory conducted a series of bottle-roll tests on composite sulfide samples from the Property. Three composite test samples yielded recoveries on unground rock that yielded 71%, 76%, and 77% recoveries. Grinding increased the recoveries to 92%, 86%, and 83%.”
Based on Historic Metallurgy, Gold in Both the Oxidized Rock (yellow) and Unoxidized Rock (grey) is Readily Recoverable by Conventional and Even Non-Chemical Methods
After review of the historic drilling and after surface inspection of the Eldorado Property, Provenance believes the gold system is open to expansion in all directions and will also expand with in-fill drilling. The Company believes that the area of mineralization extends far beyond initially thought, and the surface mineralization expands even further.
Steve Craig, Project Manager states, “With future drilling programs, this project will grow with step-out and infill drilling. Even in the central area, some major mineralized areas remain partially drilled. An important early additional plus is that the historic metallurgy by reputable laboratories indicated the gold is mostly recoverable even in the sulfide zone, by gravity and flotation in addition to standard chemical extraction. This is because the gold appears to have come in after the pyrite, so it’s exposed and accessible to recovery. This is unusual and very fortunate.”
The report concludes that the favorable geological setting of the Property, as well as mineralization intersected in historic drill programs indicate the presence of porphyry style gold mineralization at the Eldorado Property. Based on Mr. Gibson’s site inspection, as well as the authors’ review of historic and recent work completed at the Property, it is the opinion of the authors of this Report that the Eldorado Property is a property of merit that warrants future exploration.
As a result, the authors recommend a staged exploration program for the Property, with Phase 2 exploration being dependent on the results of Phase 1.
The Company will report on its next steps for advancing the Eldorado Property within the coming weeks. The Company has now submitted all the final permitting documents requested and required by DOGAMI, to finalize the review process. The Company is unaware of any further issues likely to arise and has been told that no further information will be required to complete the permit. Site visits to the property have identified additional areas of obvious surface mineralization. Based on these studies, the Company wants to expand the currently planned drilling to include some of these areas inside and outside the historically drilled area. The Company plans to conduct its initial drilling program in the Spring to allow use of the new information to help guide exploration of these undrilled areas and to take advantage of more favorable weather. More will be reported on these newly recognized mineralized areas in the very near future.
NI 43-101 Technical Report
An NI 43-101 Technical Report (the “Report”) entitled “Technical Report on the Eldorado Property, Malheur County, Oregon ” has been completed and filed on behalf of the Company. The report was completed by Michael Dufresne, M.Sc., P.Geol., P.Geo. of Apex Geosciences Ltd. and Jodie Gibson, M.Sc., P.Geo. with an effective date of October 20, 2022. The report was prepared to provide an independent evaluation of the exploration potential of the Eldorado Property. The Report has been posted on the Company’s website and is available on SEDAR.

North Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 7, 2022) – Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (ASX: LLO) (“Lion One” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from hole TUDDH 608 as part of its ongoing deep drill program in definition of the “500” zone. Exceptional results include 23.7 meters (m) averaging 17.52 g/t gold with a horizontal true width of 10.4m. Mineralized intervals are inclusive of several bonanza-grade intercepts. This hole is consistent with Lion One’s geological model of a robust Alkalic gold system with increasing gold grade at depth.
Highlights
A deep high-grade intercept of 17.52 g/t Au over 23.7m with 10.4m true width from TUDDH 608 Targeting intersection of TUG 141(20.86 g/t Au over 76.9m) and TUDDH 601(12.22 g/t Au over 54.9m) Structural interpretation for a deep high grade feeder system taking shape in Zone 500

Lion One Senior Vice President Exploration Sergio Cattalani commented “By drilling at a high angle across the TUG 141 (20.86 g/t gold over 76.9m) / TUDDH 601 (12.22 g/t Au over 54.9m) high-grade zone, TUDDH 608 was able to provide valuable information on the width and continuity of this zone. The outstanding results obtained of 17.52 g/t gold over 23.7m corresponds to a horizontal true width of 10.4m, which is approximately seven times the estimated average mining width, and at a grade that is nearly twice the average grade of the existing resource. The significance of this zone and its likely contribution to the increase in overall contained ounces cannot be overstated, as the extent of this zone may be much greater than previously thought. We are currently drilling several additional holes to test the possible plunge extent estimated by oriented core structural measurements. We will continue to report additional results as they become available.”
Hole TUDDH 608 (azimuth: 089°, dip: -64°), drilled from west to east, was designed drill across the high-grade zone identified in two directions by TUG 141 and TUDDH 601 (Figures 1, 2). With the completion of TUDDH 608 we can now better understand the true horizontal width and potential volume of the bonanza-grade feeder zone. The results are outstanding with 23.7m drilled width at 17.5 g/t gold, including 19.6m of 20.7 g/t gold (Figures 3-10). The horizontal true width of the zone at the drilled location is 10.4m (Figure 1). Lion One regards the confirmation of the high-grade feeder zone initially identified by TUG 141 and TUDDH 601 as transformational in that it confirms both continuity and implies extensive volume of the mineralized feeder zone below the current resource. Mineralization in TUDDH 608 extends from 594.5m to 618.2m (Table 1).
Lion One CEO Walter Berukoff commented “We look forward to further definition of the “Jewel box” dilatational feeder zone that we have been drilling out beneath the existing resource starting from surface at Tuvatu. This hole provides outstanding results for us as it continues to lend credence and proof-of-concept to the thesis of a deeper, very high-grade, feeder-style zone at depth. We continue to add enormous value to the mine as well as the critical exploration upside with the drill bit. We are defining what looks to be the next major high-grade discovery and world-class gold deposit right here in Fiji. We look forward to further results in very near future.”

QAQC Procedures
Lion One adheres to rigorous QAQC procedures above and beyond basic regulatory guidelines in conducting its sampling, drilling, testing, and analyses. The Company utilizes its own fleet of diamond drill rigs, using PQ, HQ and NQ sized drill core rods. Drill core is logged and split by Lion One personnel on site. Samples are delivered to and analyzed at the Company’s geochemical and metallurgical laboratory in Fiji. Duplicates of all samples with grades above 0.5 g/t Au are both re-assayed at Lion One’s lab and delivered to ALS Global Laboratories in Australia (ALS) for check assay determinations. All samples for all high-grade intercepts are sent to ALS for check assays. All samples are pulverized to 80% passing through 75 microns. Gold analysis is carried out using fire assay with an AA finish. Samples that have returned grades greater than 10.00 g/t Au are then re-analyzed by gravimetric method. For samples that return greater than 0.50 g/t Au, repeat fire assay runs are carried out and repeated until a result is obtained that is within 10% of the original fire assay run. Lion One’s laboratory can also assay for a range of 71 other elements through Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), but currently focuses on a suite of 9 important pathfinder elements. All duplicate anomalous samples are sent to ALS labs in Townsville QLD and are analyzed by the same methods (Au-AA26, and Au-GRA22 where applicable). ALS also analyses 33 pathfinder elements by HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach and ICP-AES (method ME-ICP61).

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.
Figure 1. Drill hole DV22-308 from Torbrit Main showing typical red jasperoid stratabound mineralization with epithermal overprint carrying higher silver grades
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.
Figure 2. Location along the Kitsault Valley trend
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.

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).
