The Company’s focus since acquiring the Keymet Property has been the northwest region of the property. At least seven vein occurrences with lead, zinc and +/- copper, silver and gold are reported in this region of the property in addition to the polymetallic veins reported at the historic Keymet Mine (source: New Brunswick Dept. of Energy and Resource Development Mineral Occurrence Database). The Keymet Mine operated during the mid-1950s, producing copper, lead, zinc and silver.  Production at this mine was terminated due to a fire at the site.

Great Atlantic has explored two of these vein occurrences, the Elmtree 12 and Elmtree Silver Mine veins and adjacent areas, northwest of the historic Keymet Mine. A 20 meter deep shaft is reported at the Elmtree Silver Mine vein. A Qualified Person has located this shaft for Great Atlantic. Great Atlantic has intersected copper, lead, zinc and silver bearing veins at both the Elmtree 12 and Elmtree Silver Mine vein occurrences during 2015 and 2017 diamond drilling programs (9 total holes) with more significant results at the Elmtree 12 vein occurrence. Trenching at the Elmtree 12 vein occurrence also exposed such polymetallic veins. Gold mineralization was also locally intersected in host meta-sedimentary rocks in the general area of the Elmtree 12 vein occurrence. Highlights of this work included (as reported in News Releases of October 29, 2015, February 23, 2016, December 20, 2017 and March 2, 2018):

  • Ky-15-3 (Elmtree 12): 16.68% Zn, 1.11% Cu & 152 g/t Ag over 1.80 meter core length.
  • Ky-15-4 (Elmtree 12):  8.68% Zn, 0.29% Cu & 44.8 g/t Ag over 4.28 meter core length.
  • Ky-17-5 (Elmtree 12): 13.65% Zn, 1.20% Cu, 0.45% Pb & 166 g/t Ag over 0.80 meter core length.
  • Ky-17-6 (Elmtree 12): 3.54% Zn, 0.92% Cu, 0.28% Pb & 115.6 g/t Ag over 12.05 meter core length & 0.64 g/t Au over 19.96 meter core length (newly discovered gold bearing zone).
  • Ky-17-8: 18.80% Zn, 3.55% Cu, 1.16% Pb & 576 g/t Au over 1.27 meter core length (newly discovered polymetallic vein southwest of Elmtree 12 vein system).

Planned 2018 diamond drilling will test both the Elmtree 12 vein system and newly discovered vein in Ky-17-8 along strike and at depth. -Drilling is also planned to test the continuation of the newly discovered gold zone intersected in hole Ky-17-6.

Arsenopyrite bearing metasediment boulder samples collected by Company prospectors in 2011 approximately 1.5 km northwest of the historic Keymet Mine were reported to return up to 51 g/t Au (News Release of March 2, 2012). A Qualified Person has not verified this sample data. This is the general area of the Elmtree 12 vein occurrence.

Additional gold occurrences are reported within the Keymet Property as per the New Brunswick Dept. of Energy and Resource Development Mineral Occurrence Database.  Two of these gold occurrences are reported in the east region of the Keymet Property.  Another gold occurrence, referred to as the Alcida East occurrence, is reported in the west region of the property. Historic samples from the Alcida East occurrence are reported up to 4.3 g/t Au. Two additional gold occurrences are reported near the west boundary of the property, possibly being west of the Keymet Property. A Qualified Person has not verified any of these gold occurrences. The Company’s focus to data has been the northwest area of the property, northwest of the historic Keymet Mine

Significant precious metal – base metals deposits are reported within 4 km of the Keymet Property. The Elmtree gold deposits are located within 3 km west-southwest of the Keymet Property. A historic mineral resource estimate for the Elmtree gold deposits was reported in 2011 with 294,000 ounces of gold in the indicated + inferred categories reported (0.5 g/t Au cutoff) (source: Murahwi, et al., effective date March 4, 2011 for Micon International Limited, CNRP Mining Inc. and Gorilla Resources Corp.).

The historic Nigadoo River Mine is located approximately 4 km south of the Keymet Property. Polymetallic massive sulfide veins were mined at the Nigadoo River Mine during the 1960s and 1970s with copper, lead, zinc and silver being produced. The N.B Dept. of Energy and Resource Development Mineral Occurrence Database reports shaft depth and production totals at this historic mine. Production during 1967 – 1971 is reported as 1.126 million tonnes at 2.2% Pb, 2.1% Zn, 0.24% Cu and 92.57 g/t Ag. Production during 1973 – 1977 (after a 2 year closure) is reported to be 0.733 million tonnes (only partial metal grades reported). The shaft is reported to at least 470 meter depth.

Readers are warned that mineralization at the Elmtree gold deposits and historic Nigadoo Brook Mine is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the Keymet Property.

FEATURE: $AAO.ca Why Augusta Industries is an under valued company

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:43 PM on Thursday, March 15th, 2018

 

 

Augusta Industries Subsidiary FOX-TEK Canada Inc is a rare Gem of a tech company where its technology, potential and capabilities are undervalued and therefore discounted. Investors don’t seem to appreciate that FOX TEK is making great strides with its available resources while developing industry disruptive technology capable of meeting current value expectations. The patient investor understands and values a company that is creating new and disruptive technological tools

Sales and revenue evaluation of a company is great when you are invested in GE, FORD, GM, IBM and Apple, but the real value missed here by a few shareholders is what FOX-TEK’s engineers are able to create. FOX TEK first started with the FT Systems as its sole technology and below is living proof of what FOX-TEK has been able to create.

1) Electric Field Mapping (EFM) Corrosion monitor

Used predominately to measure, with great accuracy, the material loss in pipelines and vessels due to corrosion/erosion. The technology has been successfully used as a validation of existing integrity programs. The technology can also be used in research and material testing applications.

2) Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) System

Technology based on optical strain sensors. These sensors are inherently safe (due to the fact that the sensors are powered by light) and easy to use. Due to the high bandwidth of the sensors, they can also be used to measure vibrations. There many applications in both the oil & gas sector and civil infrastructure where these sensors can bring a benefit.

3) FG-OD

Novel non intrusive leak detection technology used to detect leaks in pipelines and vessels. Due to its high sensitivity, the sensor cable can also detect VOC due to leaks.  By using smart detection levels and adapting to its environment, this technology will generate zero false alarms.

4) Advanced Sensor Design

Advanced intrusive optical sensor that will, over time, change its optical characteristics when in the presence of various elements. Can be used in applications where specific trace elements can lead to a negative impact on normal operating conditions.

5) Currently as per FOX-TEK’s last Press release, working to develop a new technology to measure the ingress of damaging liquids under insulation/coating. This LOI is indicative of the confidence major parties involved have in the burgeoning technology, be it Federal, Provincial Academic or Business.

FEATURE: $GGX.ca Completes 3 Holes at Gold Drop $TUE.ca $MTB.ca $GTT.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:59 PM on Wednesday, March 14th, 2018

 

GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX), has completed the first three holes of the 2018 Phase III Diamond Drilling program on the Gold Drop Property near Greenwood, BC. The program currently underway is targeting the COD Vein in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone.

The first three holes of the current program have now been successfully completed for a total of 212.45 meters. These holes were designed to further delineate the COD vein at depth.

The holes were stepped back from the 2017 pads to target the vein at depth.

DDCOD18-1 – intersected a 2.81 m Mineralized Zone which includes a 1.2 meter Vein intercept

DDCOD18-2 – intersected a 4.3 m Mineralized Zone which includes 2.92 meters of veining and alternation further at a depth of down the hole was a 7.5 altered shear zone that was erratically mineralized.

DDCOD18-3 – intersected a 6.64 m Mineralized Zone which includes 2.33 Meters of veining and alteration

 

The Gold Drop Project is located 40 km from Grand Forks, British Columbia in geologically prospective ground in the well-mineralized Greenwood District. GGX Gold saw a very successful season in 2017 and has extensive plans to follow up in 2018. The Phase III drilling program of up to 1000 Meters is being designed to follow up on data obtained from the 2017 drill program that consisted of approximately 1500 M. The 2017 program was drilled along the COD Vein which was previously exposed in trenching accompanied with channel sampling. The current drill sites for phase III are at various locations along the previously exposed COD vein and Additionally, new drill sites have also been spotted for locations to the north and south of the exposed COD vein. These areas have yet to be trenched, however the company has recently identified gold anomalies in soils and is permitted for 850M of trenching. (Soils -News Release–Jan-10-18)

    • Soil sample analytical results from the 2017 fall program on the Gold Drop Property
    • Conducted in the  Southwest Zone between the COD gold showing and the COD North gold showing and north of the gold bearing Everest vein
    • A total of 334 soil samples were collected along 31 soil lines. These lines were spaced 25m apart

 

Gold Drop Property, Greenwood British Columbia

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire)GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce the receipt of soil sample analytical results from the 2017 fall program on the Gold Drop Property, located in southern British Columbia. The soil sampling geochemical program was conducted in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone between the COD gold showing and the COD North gold showing and north of the gold bearing Everest vein. The program identified gold soil anomalies including high values of 0.061, 0.073 and 0.088 ppm gold.

A total of 334 soil samples were collected during the program and submitted to ALS Minerals in North Vancouver for gold and multi-element analysis. The samples were screened to 180 micron. Gold analysis was by aqua regia extraction with ICP-MS finish. Multi-element analysis was by aqua regia extraction and ICP-MS and ICP-AES. Soil samples were collected along 31 soil lines. These lines were spaced 25m apart with a 25m sample interval. The soil lines were of varying lengths but on average 250m long.

 

The soil sampling program identified several soil gold anomalies in the Southwest Zone, including numerous samples exceeding 0.01 ppm Au (including high values of 0.061, 0.073 and 0.088 ppm Au). The most distinct anomaly or anomalies is in the COD North area, where anomalous values are concentrated between two historical workings. The soil sampling program extended the target area for at least 600 meters northeast of the area of 2017 drilling and trenching. The Company is planning follow up work in this area in 2018 including a trenching program. The program also identified other gold anomalies near the new COD adit and northeast of the COD trenches.

 

The soil sampling program in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone helped identify a new vein exposure in a small, 2 meter deep historic adit 175 meters north of the C.O.D. trench. The adit is driven on a North-south striking quartz vein that is on strike with the C.O.D. Vein, and appears to be of the same style as the Detonia/Jewel quartz vein. Another vein exposure north of the trench was also located by hand pitting on local quartz float. Bedrock quartz samples from the small hand pit material returned values of 4.97 g/t Au and 30.7 g/t Ag. Samples of boulder material found outside of the small adit returned values of 1.28 g/t Au and 6.97 g/t Ag. (News Release of Nov 8, 2017).
