  • Initial Assay Results from Viva Gold’s Tonopah Gold Project, Nevada

    (via TheNewswire)

    Viva Gold Corp.

    VANCOUVER, BC April 9, 2024 TheNewswire Viva Gold Corp. (TSX-Venture: VAU; OTCQB: VAUCF) (the “Company” or “Viva“) is pleased to provide initial assay results for three holes from the recently completed 10-hole, 1,515-meter reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling program at its 100%-owned Tonopah gold project (“Tonopah”). Tonopah is located on the prolific Walker Lane mineral trend in western Nevada, about 20 minutes’ drive from the town of Tonopah.

    These first three RC holes were drilled to offset widely spaced gold intercepts from our 2022 and 2023 drill programs on the north side of the 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) main pit area, an area that had previously been considered waste in the resource model. All gold (“Au”) and silver (“Ag”) intercepts in these first three holes were in tertiary volcanics.

    Highlights

    • TG2401 intercepted 50.5-meters (“m”) starting at 40m averaging 0.68 grams per tonne Au (“gpt Au”) and 3.0 gpt Ag, including two higher grade zones of 10.7m at 1.54 gpt Au starting at 40-m and 4.6 m at 1.47 gpt Au starting at 69m. TG2401 was drilled due west from the collar of TG2212 (21.3m at 0.5 gpt Au, including 7.6m at 1.3 gpt Au) towards hole TG2210 (38m averaging 0.8 g/t Au starting at 18m depth).

    • TG2403 intercepted 18.3m at 0.6 gpt Au and 5.8 gpt Ag commencing at 64m including 3m at 1.37 gpt Au and 4.1 gpt Ag. TG2402 intercepted 4.6m at 0.5 gpt Au and 1.5 gpt Ag starting at 52m. TG2402 and TG2403 were each drilled in a western direction 40m to the north and south respectively of TG2310 (four zones with a cumulative total of 48m at 1.9 gpt Au, including 23m at 3.5 gpt Au starting at 72m).

    “We are very pleased with these initial results. These first three holes, when combined with prior wide-spaced drilling, potentially create strong grade continuity on the northeastern side of the resource pit shell defined in our 2022 PEA. This area had only been sparsely drilled in the past and was previously described as containing primarily waste material in the model. Additional infill and step-out drilling in this area of the project is clearly justified, stated James Hesketh, President & CEO.

  • New Geological Interpretation Establishes Gold Exploration Target Area in Pontiac Sediments at Renforth’s Parbec Gold Deposit

    (via TheNewswire)

    Renforth Resources Inc.
    • New geological model and interpretation of the Parbec Gold deposit has identified mineralized structures crosscutting the lithologies, resulting in a stacking of individual gold zones at or near surface and continuing at depth into the Pontiac sediments with a clear southward dip underneath the Pontiac sedimentary/Cadillac Break contact

    • South dipping extensions of known mineralized zones have been identified along the Pontiac contact, including tying in much deeper mineralized intercepts from 2007/2008 drilling

    • Modelling has identified locations where the mineralization is sub-cropping (only 1-5m overburden) south of a 50m buffer zone for the rail line. These are potential sites for stripping, sampling and bulk sampling

    Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE – RFR) (OTCQB- RFHRF) (FSE-9RR) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) wishes to inform shareholders that our updated interpretation of our Parbec Gold deposit proves the presence of gold mineralization in structures oriented oblique to the Cadillac Break and extending into the Pontiac sediments. Interpreted conclusions include instances where surface mineralization within the Cadillac Break forms a continuous zone with gold mineralization within the Pontiac sediments to the south, crossing the lithologies. This is a new exploration target concept at Parbec with bulk tonnage potential. These interpreted oblique structures carry gold mineralization to the south of the Break, within the Pontiac sediments and have been intersected in several locations at Parbec.

    Similar to our Malartic Metals Package property, there is almost a complete lack of exploration in the Pontiac sediments, whereas we can now demonstrate that the entire area has significant exploration potential, validated by our new geological model and the success of our contiguous neighbour, the Canadian Malartic Mine, operating quite successfully in the Pontiac sediments. While there have been >40,000m drilled at Parbec there are still many areas to be drilled, the Pontiac has not been the focus of any exploration or drilling at Parbec.

    The new interpretation does not yet cover the entirety of the Cadillac Break’s ~1.8km of strike on the property, or the deepest pierce points on the property (>700m depth). Additional drilling, guided by this new interpretation, is justified, in the Cadillac Break, the Pontiac sediments and the Piche volcanics to the north, each of which host gold mineralization and untested strike.

    New Geological Model Detail

    The modelling exercise resulted in a re-orientation of the project base line and uses horizontal plans as the base plan for interpretation purposes. Mineralized lenses interpreted on each level were assembled using sets of sections cut at varying orientations. Mineralized structures oriented obliquely to the Break have been identified with trends ranging from north to north-east and east – west. These newly identified mineralized structures are only partially drilled and are open to the north-east and south-west on the Parbec property.

    The prior Parbec modelling approach used vertical sections oriented perpendicular to the Cadillac Break. Mineralization was difficult to model and resulted in an interrupted continuity of mineralization and abrupt shifts in grades and widths as the zones were thought to be constrained by lithological units. The new model illustrates cross-cutting mineralized structures to the Cadillac break and lithologies which were not clearly identified in previous interpretations. Simply stated, a slight change in how the drill data is studied has identified new areas with previously unrecognized exploration potential.

    To date, the new modelling interpretation has identified four target areas along a strike length of about 800 meters for follow-up exploration work. This early-stage work shows that each target area demonstrates continuity of mineralization

    from surface down to a depth of about 150 meters along a horizontal distance of approximately 200 meters. Mineralization thickness varies from a few meters to 20 metres or more at the center of lenses. The model is limited by drilling density at depth, as such the targets are open along strike and below a depth of 150 meters.

    Follow up exploration will be planned with drill holes oriented at differing azimuths to test the continuity for the newly interpreted mineralized zones trending in northerly, East-West and North-East – South-West directions.

    Drill section showing southward dip of the Pontiac sediments and interpreted plunge of gold mineralization. This new modelling ties in deeper mineralization intercepts from 2007/2008 drilling (PAR-07-01).

    Pontiac Sediments Mineralization and Down Dip Mineralization

    Remodelling of the Pontiac sedimentary contact has identified significant structural complexity, particularly in the north-western half of the Parbec deposit. An area previously referred to as the “diorite splay” is in fact an opening (embayment) of the Pontiac contact, trapping a large mass of diorite, known to be gold bearing with only limited surface prospecting/trenching and drilling.

    Modelling in the area illustrates an approximate -50 south / southwesterly dip to the mineralized zones, as noted in the last drill program, supporting the interpretation. Current modelling efforts are defining exploration target areas for mineralized zone expansion to the south under the Pontiac contact within embedded felsic intrusions. Previously, mineralization in several deeper holes was difficult to correlate, the new geological model reconciles these deeper holes and offers infill drilling targets.

    Bulk Tonnage Target

    Surface expression of the mineralization indicates that the horizontal thickness varies from a few meters to approximately 20 metres. Many new targets are becoming apparent with the new modeling, along different mineralized trends covered by a maximum of 5 meters of overburden. The Company is working to define a surface mineralized footprint amenable to a small-scale open pit outside the CN railway footprint. To date, two areas have been identified in the northwestern part of the property that are amenable to stripping and sampling followed by bulk sampling if warranted.

    Parbec Surface Water Testing

    Renforth will commence baseline testing of surface water contained in two holding ponds north of the decline adit and subsurface water within the decline from two wells which access the decline. This is done to collect the environmental baseline data required to permit the dewatering of the decline which terminates within the Cadillac Break at ~100m vertical depth. An unplanned work stoppage occurred in the 1980’s before completion, leaving the end of the decline approximately 40m from the northern contact of the Cadillac Break and the Piche volcanics. This also resulted in no mapping or sampling of the mineralization the decline intersects, including the Pontiac sediments, the Felsite Zone or the Cadillac Break itself. Renforth is working towards dewatering, mapping, and sampling the decline, a process which starts with the collection of required background information to support permit application.

    Qualified Person

    Technical disclosure in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Francis R. Newton PGeo, OGQ a “qualified person” pursuant to NI 43-101.

    About Renforth

    Renforth is a battery metals area play with the dominant brownfield land position south of the world class Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault (“CLLF”) in the prolific Cadillac and Malartic mining camps of Quebec’s Abitibi. Offering exposure to gold, zinc, nickel, copper, cobalt and more, including lithium, Renforth’s land position encompasses several areas of interest.

    Renforth’s position is unique in that the both the battery metals mineralization within the Malartic Metals Package (“MMP”) and our gold deposit at Parbec are road accessible, with hydro power crossing the properties, in an established and secure mining jurisdiction which regularly ranks as Top 10 (as determined by the Fraser Institute) in the world.

    Renforth is engaged in the active exploration of the proven MMP battery metals mineralization, working towards a maiden resource statement, and the remodeling of our Parbec gold deposit to incorporate the ~15,000m drilled subsequent to the 2019 effective date of the last MRE.

  • Gold Basin Provides Exploration Update and Announces Q2 RC Drill Program

    (via TheNewswire)

    Gold Basin Resources Corporation

    Vancouver, British Columbia: Gold Basin Resources Corporation (the “Company” or “Gold Basin”) – (TSX-V GXX, OTCQB: GXXFF) today provided an exploration update, which includes the announcement of a fully-funded 3,000-meter (“m”) Q2 reverse-circulation (“RC”) drill program at the Company’s 100%-owned Gold Basin oxide gold project in northwestern Arizona (the “Gold Basin Project” or the “Project“).

    Colin Smith, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “It is with great excitement that we announce the first drill program of 2024, which will focus on resource expansion and delineation at the Gap Zone, Stealth Deposit, and Cyclopic Deposit. Drilling in 2021-2023 established Red Cloud and Stealth as at-surface, high-grade oxide gold systems that remain open in all directions, with the interstitial 600-meter-long Gap Zone returning near-surface intercepts last year, suggesting the presence of a contiguous 1.5-kilometer-long deposit. The ~30,000 meters of drilling Gold Basin has completed since 2020 will support the maiden NI 43-101 oxide gold resource, to be released this year.”

    Q2 2024 Resource Expansion RC Drill Program

    Two successful drill campaigns totaling 7,228 m were conducted in 2023, largely focused on the Stealth-Gap-Red Cloud trend. Thick intersections of shallow, high grade oxide gold mineralization were returned throughout the corridor, with the Red Cloud target advancing to a bonafide at-surface high grade oxide gold deposit, located 600 m to the east-southeast of the outcropping Stealth Deposit. In addition, numerous auriferous intercepts were drilled in the Gap, a sparsely drilled 600 m zone that separates the Stealth and Red Cloud Deposits. These hits suggest the presence of a contiguous 1.5-kilometer-long oxide gold deposit throughout the full trend, which remains open along strike in both directions, and at depth, and is strategically located 800 m southwest of the 1.7-km-long at-surface Cyclopic Deposit (Figure 1).

    The first phase of 2024 RC drilling will total 3,000 m and commence in late April or Early May, with a focus on resource expansion and delineation at the Stealth-Gap-Red Cloud trend, and the Cyclopic Deposit. Gold Basin intends on drilling the Gap Zone to a ~50-meter hole or pierce point spacing, as well as testing open-ended mineralization at the adjacent deposits (Figure 1).

    The Company has its full 5 acres of allowable disturbance remaining and intends on using existing accesses to complete this round of drilling to best assess where to construct new roads for subsequent drilling in 2024.

    Figure 1: Q2 2024 RC drill target areas.

    Geological Mapping and Prospecting

    A variable-scale geologic mapping and prospecting program is ongoing at the Gold Basin Project, focused on understanding the structural geometry of and the controls on gold mineralization. The area of interest includes the main Cyclopic and Stealth-Gap-Red Cloud trends, and highly prospective exploration ground to the east and west of these oxide gold deposits, which hosts multiple strong undrilled gold-in-soil anomalies. To date, a total of 12 square kilometers have been mapped at a scale of 1:10,000, and within this region, the key zones of mineralization were mapped at a scale of 1:5,000, totaling approximately 5.5 square kilometers of higher resolution mapping to aid with resource definition and expansion. A digital synthesis of the program is underway.

    Ground Geophysics

    Gold Basin conducted two ground gravity surveys in 2023, focused on the Project’s center-of-mass which encompasses the Cyclopic and Stealth-Gap-Red Cloud trends, as well as the highly prospective undrilled ground to the east and northeast of Cyclopic. The Company intends on expanding coverage to the adjacent claim boundaries to further assess prospectivity of near-surface oxide gold systems, buried porphyry centers and Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (“IOCG”) mineralization.

    Multiple untested gravity high targets were identified from the 2023 surveys, including a coincident 3D magnetic-gravity anomaly located immediately east of the southern portion of Cyclopic. This target represents a characteristic geophysical signature of a potential IOCG or porphyry center, and warrants testing in future exploration drill programs.

    2024 Metallurgy

    To date, the Company has conducted two rounds of metallurgical testwork at Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (“KCA”) in Reno, Nevada in 2021 and 2022 on composite samples from the Cyclopic Deposit. Results to date demonstrate strong recoveries that are akin to a broad range of operating heap-leach projects in the southwestern USA, demonstrating that there are no metallurgical barriers to a heap-leach gold extraction operation at Gold Basin.

    Leach tests on samples from Cyclopic returned an average extraction of 72% gold and a maximum extraction of 86% gold, across the range of head grades and at varying depths and locations to ensure representativeness. Results to date show a low sodium cyanide and reagent consumption, extremely low preg-robbing, and favorable agglomeration and compaction tests, with agglomerated samples passing percolation tests up to 100 metres dump height (KCA standard height recommendation is 40 metres).

    The growing gold endowment and unconstrained mineralized envelope present at the Stealth-Gap-Red Cloud trend warrants an additional round of metallurgical testwork in 2024 to ensure amenability to the current processing circuit. Gold Basin anticipates similar or improved results, based on the analogous style of mineralization, host rocks, and higher-grade nature of the Stealth-Gap-Red Cloud trend.

    2024 Plan of Operations

    The Company will initiate a Plan of Operations in 2024, to further derisk and advance the oxide gold deposits towards development. Cedar Creek Associates, based in Ft. Collins, Colorado, has been engaged to quarterback this permitting initiative.

    ABOUT GOLD BASIN RESOURCES CORPORATION

    Gold Basin Resources Corporation is advancing the 42 km2 Gold Basin Project, located in the tier one mining jurisdiction of Mohave County, Arizona. Gold Basin is accessible year-round via a 1.5-hour-drive on I-93 Highway southwest of Las Vegas, and high-power electrical lines from the Hoover Dam crosscut the southern Project area. The immediate focus of Gold Basin’s highly experienced technical team is to expand and delineate multiple at-surface oxide gold deposits and prove the project’s district-scale potential.

  • Abitibi Metals Announces Final Upsize of its Previously Announced Private Placement to $7.1 Million Fully Allocated

    (via TheNewswire)

    Abitibi Metals Corp.

    April 8, 2024, London, OntarioTheNewswire – Abitibi Metals Corp. (CSE:AMQ) (OTCQB:AMQFF) (FSE:4KG) (“Abitibi” or the “Company“), is pleased to announce that, due to overwhelming interest, the Company’s non-brokered private placement previously announced on March 21, 2024 (the “Offering) has been upsized. The Offering will now consist of up to 10,702,627 common shares of the Company, which is expected to close on April 9, 2024, and has been fully allocated.

    Jonathon Deluce, CEO of Abitibi Metals, stated, “We are pleased to announce the final upsize of this strategic financing. With a treasury of approximately $19 million on closing, Abitibi is in a unique position of strength in a challenging market, as we will be fully funded through 2025 to execute a 50,000-metre drill program and be in a position to deliver a PEA at the B26 Deposit. As both a passionate mining entrepreneur and investor, building compelling stories excites me, and I am grateful for the support Abitibi has received, which will enable us to successfully close the funds needed for a seven-year option within only four months. I believe 2024 is the beginning of a strong macroeconomic environment for gold and copper where high-grade growth stories like ours can flourish.”

    Jim Deluce, Chairman of the Board and Largest Shareholder of Abitibi Metals, commented, “I am incredibly proud of what the team has accomplished in a challenging economic climate, raising over $21 million in 4 months to successfully secure our 80% earn-in across what was supposed to be a 7-year option. When Jonathon was appointed as CEO, he was challenged by the board to identify an asset with significant growth potential, something he very capably accomplished through the acquisition of the Beschefer Gold Project, where we drilled 4.92 grams per ton gold over 28.65 metres1, including 11.39 g/t Au over 9.1 metres1, a project we very much look forward to returning to in the near future.”

    Mr.Deluce continued: “With B26, the team did it again – successfully identifying and bringing public an asset where, at Abitibi, we have only started to unlock its potential. With a robust treasury of approximately $19 million, an incredible corporate and technical team, and a world-class advisory team, Abitibi Metals now has a very strong foundation to build from as we continue to execute and remain extremely focused on building the next significant metals company in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt.”

    The Offering consists of two parts: a) $5,109,021.78 of charity flow-through common shares (“CFT Shares”) priced at C$0.86/share for the issuance of 5,940,723 CFT Shares; and b) $2,000,000 of common shares priced at C$0.42/share for the issuance of 4,761,904 Common Shares. The CFT Shares will qualify as “flow-through shares” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Tax Act”).

    The gross proceeds from the Charity Flow-Through Offering will be used to incur “Canadian exploration expenses” that are “flow-through mining expenditures” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act) related to the Company’s projects in Quebec. Gross proceeds from the Common Share offering will be used for general and administration expenses including funding for the PEA obligation, property option payments, and to scale up marketing & awareness initiatives.

    Finder’s fees in cash or securities may be paid on gross proceeds of the Offering, as permitted by securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE“). Eventus Capital Corp. has been appointed as a Finder in connection with the Offering.

    The securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to the Company’s filing requirements with the CSE, and all securities will be subject to a four-month and one day statutory hold period after closing.

    Forward-looking statement:

    This news release contains certain statements, which may constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Forward-looking information involves statements that are not based on historical information but rather relate to future operations, strategies, financing plans, financial results or other technical developments or reports on the B26 Project or otherwise. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions, which are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and many of which, regarding future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on the Company’s behalf. Although Abitibi has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. All factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on Abitibi’s forward-looking information. Generally, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or variations of such words and phrases (including negative and grammatical variations) or statements that certain actions, events or results “may,” “could,” or “might” occur. Mineral exploration and development are highly speculative and are characterized by a number of significant inherent risks, which may result in the inability of the Company to successfully develop current or proposed projects for commercial, technical, political, regulatory or financial reasons, or if successfully developed, may not remain economically viable for their mine life owing to any of the foregoing reasons, among others. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving commercial mineral production and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the stage of operations.

  • Giant Mining Corp. Begins Plans for Advancing the Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit, Nevada

    (via TheNewswire)

    Giant Mining Corp.

    VANCOUVER, BC — TheNewswire – April 8, 2024 — Giant Mining Corp. (CSE:BFG) | (OTC:JUBAD) | (FWB:YW5) (“Giant Mining” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that preparations are underway to initiate work that will advance the copper mineralization at Majuba Hill Porphyry Copper Deposit (the “Nevada Project”), a copper, silver, and gold project located in Pershing County, Nevada

    The Nevada Project contains historic underground mines that produced 2.8 million pounds of copper. In the NI43-101 Report: Technical Report for the Majuba Hill Copper Project, Pershing County, Nevada, USA”, Jeffrey M. Bickel, C.P.G. described the copper mineralization and developed a 3D block model that measured 50 million tonnes to 100 million tonnes of copper mineralization ranging from 0.15% Cu to 0.30% Cu, with potential for a higher-grade zone of 10 million tonnes to 20 million tonnes grading between 0.40 % Cu and 0.80% Cu. This outlines an initial and significantly expandable potential of 660 million pounds of copper. Copper hit a 14-month high of USD $4.27 per pound on April 8th, 2024. 1

    Private Placement

    The Company is pleased to disclose a forthcoming non-brokered private placement aimed at raising up to CAD $3,000,000 (the “Placement”). Pursuant to this Placement, the Company intends to offer up to 15,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of CAD $0.20 per unit. Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share (“Share”) of the Company’s capital stock, along with one (1) transferable Share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant grants the holder the right to purchase one (1) additional Share at a price of CAD $0.25 per Share for twelve (12) months following the date of issuance.

    The net proceeds from the Placement will be allocated towards further exploration activities on the Company’s Nevada Project and for general corporate purposes. In accordance with the regulations of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), finder’s fees may be applicable. All securities issued under this Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day.

    David Greenway, CEO of Giant Mining Corp., expressed enthusiasm about the company’s prospects: “With copper prices recently peaking at $4.27 per pound, the highest since January 2023, and our announced financing, and our preparations to advance work at Majuba Hill, it’s an optimal time for exploration. This project, hosting significant historical copper production and prospective new findings, positions us well for a transformative year in 2024.”

    Exploration

    An exploration corridor is emerging as the primary focus zone based on recent and historic drilling, geochemistry, and geophysics. Core drilling intersected a thick oxide zone that outcrops at the surface and extends up to 550 meters (1804 feet) deep. Copper enrichment is shown by deeper zones of native copper intersecting beneath the overlying copper oxides.

    The Company is gearing up for an important exploration year in 2024, with plans to significantly expand drilling efforts aimed at exploring the depth and breadth of copper mineralization, which could define the Nevada Project’s potential and future development.

    Exploration Program 2024

    The Company is using funds from the Placement to advance our exploration and development program, as outlined in the recent recommendations of the NI43-101 report. The company has committed to drilling 16 reverse circulation (RC) holes and two shallow metallurgical core holes, aimed at evaluating the mineral potential and optimizing future extraction methods. Additionally, Giant Mining will initiate a metallurgical study to enhance our understanding of mineralization and processing efficiencies. Furthermore, our exploration depth will be extended with the drilling of two deep core holes, each reaching 3,500 feet. This strategic investment in deep-core drilling will help precisely assess the vertical extent of mineralization and contribute substantially to our resource evaluation efforts.

    The Company also wishes to announce that Mr. Yari Nieken has resigned from his role as a director of the company. We are deeply grateful for Yari’s invaluable contributions throughout his tenure on the board.

    About Giant Mining Corp.

    Giant Mining Corp. is engaged in the identification, review and acquisition of latter stage copper and copper/silver/gold assets. This is in direct response to the growing worldwide demand and lack of supply for precious metals fueled by the Green New Deal in the US and most other developed nations with similar programs aimed at addressing climate change. Such programs are heavily reliant on silver, gold and especially copper to produce Electric Vehicles and other renewable power sources, as well as building infrastructure to provide clean and affordable electricity.

    The flagship project is the Majuba Hill copper, silver and gold District located 156 miles (251 km) outside Reno, Nevada, USA. Management has been mandated to focus on safe, mining friendly jurisdictions where government regulations are supportive of mining operations.
