Fortis Metals, the world’s leading producer of minor metals, recently forecast a tellurium supply deficit that, “as of 2020 could be as big as a staggering 370 metric tonnes.”

Noting the rapidly-growing use of tellurium for thin-film solar panels, Fortis stated:

            “At the moment, we are still seeing (tellurium) inventories in China but these are  being eaten away by the two main suppliers of First Solar (the world’s largest thin-film solar manufacturer). It is only a matter of time before the market will understand the new dynamics and prices will start to reflect the growing deficit. We would not be surprised to see prices break the previous record seen in  2011.”

GGX has produced some of the highest grade drill intercepts in the world over the 2018 drill season, which compliment High Grade Gold intercepts of:

  • COD18-67: 129 g/t gold, 1,154 g/t silver and 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28-metre core length;
  • COD18-70: 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver and 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-metre core length.

  • Shipped an additional 100 Kilograms of Wollastonite from its St-Onge deposit for use at BC Bud Depot ACMPR-licenced Research and Development facilities
  • The wollastonite will be used as a natural soil additive to enhance overall cannabis plant health and improve cultivation and production
  • Adding wollastonite at an admixture rate of 10-15% to the growth medium will result in significant improvements in root mass, powdery mildew control and pest elimination

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2019 / VERTICAL EXPLORATION INC. (TSX-V: VERT) (“Vertical” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has shipped an additional 100 Kilograms of wollastonite from its St-Onge deposit for use at BC Bud Depot’s (BCBD) ACMPR-licenced Research and Development facilities in Vancouver, BC. The wollastonite will be used as a natural soil additive to enhance overall cannabis plant health and improve cultivation and production at BCBD’s facilities.

Peter P. Swistak, president and chief executive officer of Vertical Exploration, commented: “We are very happy to provide this additional shipment of wollastonite to BCBD for use at their Vancouver cannabis facilities, as it further validates the success of the Phase Three cannabis research trials that took place earlier this year at BCBD’s facilities which were announced by the Company on February 5th, 2019. This shipment is also further confirmation of Vertical’s efforts to aggressively move forward with additional test marketing of our high-quality St. Onge wollastonite with a range of cannabis industry companies and producers.”

“We are thrilled to be able to receive an additional shipment of Vertical’s wollastonite to support cannabis cultivation at our ACMPR-licenced Research and Development facilities,” stated Matthew Harvey, CEO of BCBD. “After being part of the very encouraging Phase Three cannabis trials, I am convinced that adding wollastonite at an admixture rate of 10-15% to the growth medium will result in significant improvements in root mass, powdery mildew control and pest elimination. I firmly believe that wollastonite, with all of its highly beneficial plant health properties, will be increasingly seen by the cannabis industry as the natural mineral supplement answer because it couples crop protection with product improvement which ultimately means a more natural and healthier product for consumers.”

Vertical anticipates providing further updates on its cannabis testing and marketing efforts in the coming months.

ABOUT VERTICAL EXPLORATION

Vertical Exploration’s mission is to identify, acquire, and advance high potential mining prospects located in North America for the benefit of its stakeholders. The Company’s flagship St-Onge Wollastonite property is located in the Lac-Saint-Jean area in the Province of Quebec.

  • 2018 Highlights : COD18-67: 129 g/t gold, 1,154 g/t silver & 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28 meters core length.
  • COD18-70: 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver & 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90 meters core length.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 15, 2019 / GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or “GGX“) is pleased to announce it has begun the spring 2019 diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop Property, located in Southern British Columbia. The drilling program will focus on the C.O.D vein located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. The Company intersected near-surface, high- grade gold, silver and tellurium within the C.O.D vein during 2018 diamond drilling, including:

  • COD18-67: 129 g/t gold, 1,154 g/t silver & 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28 meters core length.
  • COD18-70: 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver & 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90 meters core length.

GGX is kicking off its 2019 exploration program with drilling on the C.O.D vein (C.O.D stands for “Continuation of Dentonia”; the Dentonia is another gold-quartz vein in the camp that was historically mined). The C.O.D vein was first targeted by GGX in 2017. Initial sampling of the vein justified follow-up trenching and drilling. In 2018, the drilling program followed on and included a series of holes drilled to the south of the C.O.D trench that successfully extended the vein for a total length of nearly 400 meters and intersected high grade mineralization. The assay results (please refer to the Company’s website for News Releases announcing these results) include the following highlights:

Hole ID Interval Length Gold (gpt) Silver (gpt) Te (gpt)
COD17-14 16.03 4.59 38.64

COD18-70 6.9 107.5 880 640

For 2019, the drilling will be initially aimed at extending and in-filling the ore shoot of high-grade gold-silver-tellurium mineralization that was intersected in 2018. Following this, the Everest vein to the south, and the C.O.D. extension to the north will be drill-tested.

The highlights of the 2018 diamond drilling program are drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 that intersected near-surface, high-grade gold, silver and tellurium in the southern extension of the C.O.D vein. COD18-67 intersected 129 grams per tonne (g/t) gold, 1154 g/t silver & 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28-meter core length while COD18-70 intersected 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver & 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-meter core length (News Releases of January 11, January 18 and March 18, 2019). The C.O.D. vein system is open along strike and at depth.

No previous diamond drilling has been completed at the C.O.D. extension to the north. The 2018 trenching program exposed numerous vein showings with grab samples up to 15.45 g/t gold, 159 g/t silver Ag and 114.5 g/t tellurium. A chip sample (0.4 meters long) returned 21.7 g/t gold, 216 g/t silver and 149 g/t tellurium (News Release of February 27, 2019).

  • Holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 re-analyzed for exceeding the upper 500 (g/t) analytical limit for tellurium
  • New analytical results confirm high grade tellurium within the high-grade gold and silver intersections.
  • COD18-67, (7.28 meters core length) graded 823.4 g/t tellurium
  • COD18-70, (6.90 meters core length) graded 640.5 g/t Tellurium

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 18, 2019 / GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-V: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or “GGX“) is pleased to announce it has received tellurium analytical results for select drill core samples from the Fall 2018 diamond drill program at the Gold Drop Property, located in southern British Columbia. The Fall 2018 drill program was conducted at the C.O.D. Vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. The tellurium results are re-analyses of drill core samples from drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 which initially exceeded the upper 500 grams per tonne (g/t) analytical limit for tellurium. The re-analyses confirm high-grade tellurium for these drill holes, being associated with high-grade gold and silver (gold and silver results reported in News Releases of January 11 and 18, 2019):

  • COD18-67: 129 g/t gold, 1154 g/t silver & 823 g/t tellurium over 7.28-meter core length
  • COD18-70: 107 g/t gold, 880 g/t silver & 640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-meter core length

The 2018 Fall diamond drill program tested the COD vein. The program followed up on results from previous 2018 diamond drilling at the southern extension of the COD vein. The highlights of the 2018 Fall drill program are drill hole COD18-67 which intersected 129.1 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meters core length and drill hole COD18-70 which intersected 107.5 g/t gold and 880 g/t silver over 6.90 meters core length (News Releases of January 11and 18, 2019). Both holes were drilled slightly northeast from the same site (COD18-67 at a 50-degree dip and COD-18-70 at a 54-degree dip) to intersect the northwest trending COD Vein at a shallower angle, the objective to test the continuity of the quartz veining and mineralization.

Fourteen drill core samples from the high-grade gold and silver intersections of drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 returned greater than the upper analytical limit of 500 g/t for tellurium during initial analysis (four acid ICP-MS analysis by ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver). As a result, the tellurium weighted average grades for these intersections could not be determined from initial analyses. ALS Canada Ltd. recently re-analyzed these 14 samples for tellurium by four acid ICP-AES. These new analytical results confirm high grade tellurium within the high-grade gold and silver intersections. For drill hole COD18-67, the near-surface interval of 23.19-30.47m (7.28 meters core length) graded 823.4 g/t tellurium. For drill hole COD18-70, the near-surface interval of 22.57-29.47m (6.90 meters core length) graded 640.5 g/t Tellurium. The 14 drill samples are listed as follows (core length):

Tellurium remains as one of the rarest elements on earth. Tellurium production has been a by-product of copper and gold mining. The production is limited, estimated to being on the order of 800 metric tonnes per year. According to the USGS total production for 2007 was 107 Mtonnes.

Up to recently, the sole use of tellurium has been alloying of other metals to increase the machinability of copper or to decrease the corrosive action of sulfuric acid on lead.

The most significant modern use of tellurium is the Cadmium-telluride (Cd-Te) photovoltaic solar cells. These solar cells are the forefront of solar power. One gigawatt (GW) of Cd-Te, at current efficiencies, would require approximately 93 metric tons of tellurium. These cells have the smallest carbon footprint and the shortest energy payback time of all solar cells. The efficiency of technology is constantly improving and the Cd-Te now takes up 5.1% of worldwide PV production.

PHOTOVOLTAICS REPORT, Freiburg, 27 August 2018

In the C.O.D vein system the tellurium occurs as a soft silver-grey telluride mineral. The telluride mineral is a Silver-Tellurium-Gold alloy speculated to be sylvanite. Whenever this mineral is observed in the drill core the interval has elevated silver, gold and tellurium values.

  • Requested tellurium re-analysis of select drill core samples from the Fall 2018 diamond drill program at the Gold Drop Property, located in southern British Columbia
  • Multiple drill core samples from drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 exceeded the upper 500 grams per tonne (g/t) analytical limit for tellurium.
  • The 2018 Fall diamond drill program tested the COD vein. The program followed up on results from previous 2018 diamond drilling at the southern extension of the COD vein. The highlights of the 2018 Fall drill program are drill hole COD18-67 which intersected 129 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meters core length and drill hole COD18-70 which intersected 107.5 g/t gold and 880 g/t silver over 6.90 m

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 7, 2019 / GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or “GGX“) is pleased to announce it has requested tellurium re-analysis of select drill core samples from the Fall 2018 diamond drill program at the Gold Drop Property, located in southern British Columbia. The Fall 2018 drill program was conducted at the C.O.D. Vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Multiple drill core samples from drill holes COD18-67 and COD18-70 exceeded the upper 500 grams per tonne (g/t) analytical limit for tellurium. These samples returned high grade values for gold and silver. These samples will be re-analyzed to determine tellurium grades. Highlights from the Fall 2018 drill program include (News Releases of January 11 and 18, 2019):

  • COD18-67: 129 g/t gold & 1154 g/t silver over 7.28-meter core length

Fourteen drill core samples from the high-grade gold and silver intersections of drill holes COD-18-67 and COD-18-70 returned greater than the upper analytical limit of 500 g/t for tellurium during initial analysis (four acid ICP-MS analysis by ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver). As a result, the tellurium weighted average grade for these intersections could not be determined. The Company has requested ALS Canada Ltd. to re-analyze these samples for tellurium.
