“I’m delighted with the continuing positive trajectory of the Nullagine Gold Project as the team adjusts to mining and processing this completely new style of conglomerate gold mineralization,” commented Rob Humphryson, CEO and a director of the Company. “The site team is functioning cohesively as they perfect the geological and mining methods required to underpin a sustained and successful operation.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Novo Resources Corp. ( “Novo” or the “Company” ) (TSX: NVO, NVO.WT & NVO.WT.A) (OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to provide an operations update from the Nullagine Gold Project after another record month of growth. Subsequent updates will be provided on a quarterly basis.

NULLAGINE GOLD PROJECT

Gold Production

Gold production at the Nullagine Gold Project for July 2021 was a record month of 8,589 ounces produced during July 2021 ( Figure 1 ).

Figure 1 available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/2ca66d77-f304-4d7a-ad47-c07238b102d8

Processing

Mill throughput continued to increase month-on-month. As anticipated in the Company’s news release dated June 8, 2021 , the processing plant’s annualized rate is increasing towards 1.8 mtpa ( Figure 2 ). A total of 148 kt of gold-bearing conglomerate material was processed in July. Recovery rates are also stabilizing around 95%. July’s processing head grade was 1.94 g/t Au.

Mining

Mined mineralized and waste material was lower in July with some of the Company’s contract mining fleet allocated to assist with initial preparatory works for an upcoming tailings storage facility expansion.

Figure 2 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/9b2532ea-2d9e-405f-8d1e-6f1db0f81245

Operational Improvements

Intertek Testing Services (Australia) Pty Ltd (“ Intertek ”) has now fully commissioned two Chrysos PhotonAssay machines at its Maddington (Perth) facility ( Figure 3 ) ( refer to the Company’s news release dated May 18, 2021 ) and processed a total of 68,235 PhotonAssays (including QA/QC samples) in July. This compares favourably against average sample returns per month over the past six months. Assuming that July’s processing rates continue, the Company expects that its backlog of grade control samples will be cleared by the end of October 2021 which will significantly improve the Company’s ability to optimize recovery of mineralized material at the Nullagine Gold Project.

Figure 3 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/ecab7496-1b94-4a0a-b84b-8549698fbcd2

Intertek have also been selected to design and manage a site-based sample preparation laboratory at the Nullagine Gold Project. The lab setup is proceeding rapidly, with commissioning expected to be completed by mid-August. To date the crusher/dryer facility, ducting refurbishment, and pad extensions have all been completed, with lab personnel expected to arrive on site early next week.

Exploration

Exploration works at the Nullagine Gold Project accelerated during June as reverse circulation (“ RC ”) drilling was completed at several conglomerate (Beatons Extended and Skyfall) and orogenic basement (Margies, Cutlass and AU81 north) targets, all located within a 50 km radius of the Company’s Golden Eagle processing facility. A series of additional high priority targets more recently delineated within the Nullagine Gold Project area by detailed geological mapping, rock chip sampling and soil sampling are also scheduled for drill testing in the latter half of 2021 (Daisy Central, Red Ensign, GENNE, Parnell, Vulture).

Further afield, RC drilling commenced in July at one of Novo’s high priority orogenic vein targets at the Talga Project ( Figure 4 ), testing strike and depth potential, and grade continuity of the mineralised lode systems at McPhees and NW Australian. Rock samples collected by Novo combined with detailed mapping define a mineralized corridor approximately three kilometres long and include assay results with best grades of 81.4 g/t Au, 46.9 g/t Au, 35.1 g/t Au and 30.0 g/t Au (refer to the Company’s news release dated June 3, 2021 ). These results are not necessarily representative of mineralization at Talga Talga. This prospect is located some 30 km to the north of the town of Marble Bar (150km north of Nullagine) and is suitable for haulage to the Company’s Golden Eagle processing facility at the Nullagine Gold Project.

Novo Financial Position

Novo’s cash position and working capital remains robust, with cash reserves of C$49 million as at July 31, 2021 as compared to cash reserves of C$46.3 million as at June 30, 2021. Operational cash inflows accounted for most of this increase, with only approximately C$0.6 million attributable to stock option exercises and asset dispositions.

In addition to its cash reserves, the Company’s portfolio of investments held a fair value of approximately C$170 million 2 as at July 31, 2021. Volatility in the value of the Company’s portfolio is mostly attributable to the Company’s 9.83% holdings in New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV: NFG).

Dr. Quinton Hennigh (P.Geo.) is the qualified person, as defined under National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, responsible for, and having reviewed and approved, the technical information contained in this news release. Dr. Hennigh is a director of Novo and its president and chairman.

Cautionary Statement

The decision by the Company to produce at the Nullagine Gold Project was not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability and, as a result, there is an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flow and future profitability.

About Novo

Novo is commissioning its flagship Beatons Creek gold project while exploring and developing its prospective land package covering approximately 14,000 square kilometres in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. In addition to the Company’s primary focus, Novo seeks to leverage its internal geological expertise to deliver value-accretive opportunities to its shareholders.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 03, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV; OTCQX: IRVRF) (“Irving” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce plans for drilling at Omui Mine Site and Hokuryu in Q3-Q4, 2021 and provide a summary of results from its Q1-Q2, 2021 diamond drill program at Omu Sinter. All three of these targets are part of Irving’s 100% controlled Omu Au-Ag Vein Project, Hokkaido, Japan. An initial drill permit allowing Irving to drill at Hokuryu (officially registered as Shin-Hokuryu, known as New-Hokuryu) has recently been received from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Hokkaido Bureau.

Q3-Q4 Omui Mine Site and Hokuryu Diamond Drill Campaign

Irving plans to undertake diamond drilling at Omui Mine Site and Hokuryu during Q3-Q4, 2021. At Omui Mine Site, Rodren Drilling of Canada will drill a series of holes to follow up previous high-grade vein intercepts at the Honpi and Nanko targets. At Hokuryu, the maiden drill program will be undertaken using a Japanese-based drill contracted from Sumiko Resources Exploration & Development Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. Drilling will focus on the following priorities:

Honpi

  • Three holes will target extensions of veins encountered in some of the deeper holes completed over the past two years, particularly hole 19OMI-010 which encountered such notable intercepts including 3.00 m grading 27.0 gpt Au and 40.5 gpt Ag, 1.10 m grading 29.6 gpt Au and 36.5 gpt Ag, 3.77 m grading 12.3 gpt Au and 84.5 gpt Ag, and 1.20 m grading 7.8 gpt Au and 887.5 gpt Ag. The three planned holes will be positioned to test areas both east and west of hole 19OMI-010. (Please refer to the Company’s news releases dated December 17, 2019 and February 7, 2020)
  • One hole will test areas north of the historic Honpi vein where shallow holes completed in 2019 encountered high-grade veins. Intercepts include 1.00 m grading 19.25 gpt Au and 27.50 gpt Ag in hole 19OMI-001 and 1.80 m grading 6.05 gpt Au and 808.18 gpt Ag in hole 19OMI-002. The planned hole is expected to hit extensions of these veins. (Please refer to the Company’s news release dated December 17, 2019)

Nanko

  • One hole with test for deeper extensions of veins encountered in holes 20OMI-003, 20OMI-004 and 20OMI-005 last year. Most notably, hole 20OMI-003 encountered two veins, one grading 8.15 gpt Au and 147.29 gpt Ag over 1.76 m within a broader intercept of 3.55 gpt Au and 69.24 gpt Ag over 14.24 m and a second vein grading 21.65 gpt Au and 538.75 gpt Ag over 1.72 m including 56.10 gpt Au and 1,435.00 gpt Ag over 0.60 m. The planned hole will be drilled generally from north to south. (Please refer to the Company’s news release dated November 13, 2020)
  • A second hole will test an area northeast of holes 20OMI-006, 20OMI-007 and 20OMI-008 with vein intercepts of 2.39 m grading 5.22 gpt Au and 103.6 gpt Ag, 2.99 m grading 4.34 gpt Au and 26.8 gpt Ag and 2.00 m grading 3.98 gpt Au and 26.1 gpt Ag, respectively. The planned hole is designed to hit extensions of these veins. (Please refer to the Company’s news release dated February 9, 2021)

Hokuryu

  • Up to four holes are designed as a maiden drill test of the Hokuryu vein system. Mining was undertaken at Hokuryu for a few short years until it abruptly ceased in 1943. Irving’s recent controlled source audio-magnetotellurics (“CSAMT”) geophysical program has identified a large corridor of resistive, presumably silicified, rock extending well beyond the historic mine area. These initial holes will test select areas along this corridor for vein extensions and new veins.
  • Given the higher altitude at Hokuryu, completion of this program is dependant on weather. If holes remain uncompleted in 2021, Irving plans to complete this program as soon as possible in the spring of 2022.

Summary of Omu Sinter Drill Results

Earlier this year, Irving completed a series of four diamond drill holes at the Omu Sinter target. Holes 21OMS-002 and 21OMS-004 tested an area underlain by a broad expanse of silica sinter terrace in the southern part of this project area. Both holes encountered multiple long intervals of low grade gold and silver mineralization in bedded silica sinter and highly silicified, often hydrothermally brecciated, rocks beneath (see table below). Short intervals of higher grade mineralization were intersected. Remarkably, mineralized rock extends from surface to a vertical depth of approximtely 180 m (Figure 1). Although a high-grade feeder was not encountered, Irving believes potential for such a structure is good given the remarkable strength of this system and the presence of short, higher grade intervals in these holes. Irving plans to review this data and acquire additional structural data in an effort to identify a potential feeder structure prior to future drilling.

Holes 21OMS-001 and 21OMS-003 tested CSAMT anomalies to the west and east of the main Omu Sinter trend, respectively. Although each hole encountered hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks, only anomalous Au and Ag values were encoutered. Therefore, Irving believes all mineralization at Omu Sinter occurs within the 1.2 km long north-south corridor now tested by multiple holes.

“Irving has an aggressive drill program planned beginning approximately September 1, 2021″ commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, director and technical advisor to Irving. “Two drills will be operating, one conducting follow up drilling of high-grade veins at Omui and a second undertaking maiden drilling at Hokuryu, a very large untested high-grade vein target. We are very eager to get back to work. At Omu Sinter, we have identified a remarkably large volume of mineralized bedded sinter and underlying intensely silicified and brecciated rock in the southern part of this project area. Although low grade, the strength and volume of rock that has been affected suggests a feeder structure is nearby. It may be in an orientation we simply have not explored. We plan to review this data and collect new field data to see if we can better define such a feeder structure prior to future drilling.”

All samples discussed in this news release are ½ split sawn diamond core samples. Irving submitted rock samples to ALS Global, Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Au and Ag were analyzed by fire assay with AA finish. Overlimit samples were assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Multielements were analyzed by mass spectrometry following four acid digestion. Irving staff are responsible for geologic logging and sampling of core. Au equivalent is calculated by adding Au (gpt) to Ag (gpt)/72.

Lion One Drills Additional High Grade Gold Intercepts Targeting Deep High Grade Feeder at Tuvatu

Mon, July 26, 2021, 3:01 AMIn this article:

Explore the topics mentioned in this articleMy WatchlistMy WatchlistView my watchlists

Highlights Include 437.13 g/t Au over 0.60m and 55.44 g/t Au over 2.30m

North Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 26, 2021) – Lion One Metals Limited (TSXV: LIO) (OTCQX: LOMLF) (ASX: LLO) (“Lion One” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from ongoing deep step-out drilling at the Company’s 100% owned Tuvatu gold project in Fiji.

Multiple high-grade gold intercepts have been encountered in TUDDH533. The deepest intercept of 55.44 g/t Au over 2.30m (including 221.60 g/t over 0.40m) from a downhole depth of 575.70m, is believed to be a continuation of the same structure that encountered 55.44 g/t over 12.70m in TUDDH500, 40m to the SW, in July 2020 (see July 24, 2020 News Release). Evidence is growing that this deep NE-oriented structure is nearly vertical, with a strike length of at least 360m, and vertical extent of at least 720m from surface. It is believed to be an extension of the high grade UR4 lode, open both at depth and along strike where it projects from the Tuvatu resource area to the Banana Creek target 3.5km to the NE.

Highlights include:

  • 18.96 g/t Au over 0.65m beginning at a down hole depth of 13.00m
  • 437.13 g/t Au over 0.60m beginning at a down hole depth of 266.80m
  • 16.14 g/t Au over 1.45m beginning at a down hole depth of 309.35m
  • 55.44 g/t Au over 2.30m including 221.60 g/t Au over 0.40m from 575.70m

Lion One interprets this deep intercept from TUDDH533 to be part of the same important structure as TUDDH500 with both intercepts displaying strong visual similarities including coarse pyrite and visible gold in gray silica within centimetric-scale veins with distinct light gray potassium feldspar alteration halos around the veins (see Figure 1).

Several shallower high-grade intercepts in hole TUDDH533 are also very important, especially 473.13 g/t Au over 0.60m occurring at 266.80m down hole depth. Veining in this area appears almost perpendicular to core suggesting this high-grade intercept possibly represents a flat lode. Such flat lodes, known as the SKL group, are common higher up at Tuvatu. If this intercept is indeed from a flat lode, it would be the deepest known flat lode at Tuvatu. Lion One believes that the ore-forming fluids that generated the high-grade feeder discussed above may have found their way into nearby fractures thus forming lodes similar to those seen in the SKL group.

Incl.577.60578.000.40221.60

Note: true width of intersections has yet to be accurately determined for the numerous lodes intersected to date.

“The deep high-grade intercept encountered in hole TUDDH533 is almost certainly from the same high-grade structure encountered in hole TUDDH500 late last July,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor to Lion One. “Visual appearances of these two intercepts are strikingly similar. We are now growing comfortable with the idea that this is a northeast-trending, near vertical lode, likely the down-dip and strike continuation of the UR4 lode. This is very exciting, because this lode remains open to the northeast and at depth. In fact, this lode projects toward the Banana Creek target approximately 3.5km to the northeast from Tuvatu. It is intriguing to think that the UR4 structure might be a main mineralizing conduit that could tie together the bigger gold system within the Navilawa caldera. Lion One has several deep drill holes planned at Banana Creek this drill season.”

The Company is currently undertaking three tiers of drilling: 1) shallow resource infill drilling from surface, 2) resource infill drilling from underground and 3) deep exploration drilling looking for lode extensions under the Tuvatu resource and soon, other target areas within the Navilawa caldera such as Banana Creek, 3.5 km NE of Tuvatu (Figure 2).

Drilling and Assay Processes and Procedures

The Company is utilizing its own diamond drill rig, using PQ, HQ and ultimately NQ sized drill core rods. Drill core is logged by Company geologists and then is sawn in half and sampled by Lion One staff.

Samples are analyzed at the Company’s own geochemical laboratory in Fiji, whilst pulp duplicates of samples with results >0.5g/t Au are sent to ALS Global Laboratories in Australia for check assay determinations. Assays reported here will be sent to ALS Global Laboratories for check assays shortly. 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 10g/t Au are then re-analyzed by gravimetric method. 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 sent to ALS Townsville, Queensland, Australia are analyzed by the same methods (Au-AA26, and also Au-GRA22 where applicable). ALS also analyze for 33 pathfinder elements by HF-HNO3-HClO4 acid digestion, HCl leach and ICP-AES. (method ME-ICP61).
