Drill results include 33.30 metres grading 3.25 g/t Au
and 10.45 metres at 3.88 g/t Au

Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company“) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce that the second core hole of a 7,000 metre drilling program at its Adumbi deposit has intersected significant gold intersections of 33.30 metres grading 3.25 g/t gold (including 5.70 metres grading 7.00 g/t Au and 9.07 metres grading 5.11 g/t Au) and 10.45 metres grading 3.88 g/t Au, at its 84.68% owned Imbo Project in the eastern part of the Ngayu greenstone belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (see Figure 1 below).

Mineralized sections are summarised in the table below:

Borehole Number	From (m)	To (m)	Intersected Width (m)	Grade (g/t) Au
LADD003	224.55	235.00	10.45	3.88
LADD003	253.50	286.80	33.30	3.25
LADD003	Incl. 253.50	259.20	5.70	7.00
LADD003	Incl. 277.73	286.80	9.07	5.11

Borehole LADD003 had an inclination of minus 57 degrees and azimuth of 220 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are 80% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut. Borehole LADD003 was drilled in place of LADD002 which was stopped after deviating from its intended target depth.

Commenting on these latest drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “We are very encouraged by the results of the first two core holes of our 7,000 metre drilling program at Adumbi where we are targeting a significant increase of resources, both within and below the open pit shell. These two infill holes were drilled within the open pit shell where there is already an inferred resource of 2.19 million ounces (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t gold). These results will further increase the inferred resource. Deeper drilling is now being focussed on the plunging/downdip mineralization below the pit shell.”

In addition to core holes LADD001 and LADD003, the deeper hole LADD004, which was targeting mineralization 140 metres below previous borehole SDD53 drilled in 2017 (borehole SDD53 intersected 23.5 metres grading 6.08 g/t Au), was completed and cores have been submitted for assay. Deeper hole LADD007 and shallower hole LADD006 are currently being drilled to intercept the downdip/down plunge mineralized zone below the open pit shell and at shallower depth towards the northwest at the base of the pit shell respectively (see Figure 2 below).

The gold mineralization at Adumbi is associated with a thick package (up to 130 metres) of interbedded banded ironstone and quartz carbonate and chlorite schist with higher grade sections being found in a strongly altered siliceous unit termed “Replaced Rock” (RP) where structural deformation and alteration has completely destroyed the primary host lithological fabric. Disseminated sulphide assemblages include pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite which can attain up to 20% of the total rock in places.

The objective of the current drilling program at Adumbi is to outline additional mineral resources to the current inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold on Loncor’s 84.68%-owned Imbo Project which contains the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au).

Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Drill cores for assaying were taken at a maximum of one-metre intervals and were cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags by Company geologists and sent to the Company’s on-site sample preparation facility. The core samples were then crushed down to 80% passing minus 2 mm and split with one half of the sample up to 1.5 kg pulverized down to 90% passing 75 microns. Approximately 150 grams of the pulverized sample was then sent to the SGS Laboratory in Mwanza, Tanzania (independent of the Company). Gold analyses were carried out on 50g aliquots by fire assay. In addition, check assays were also carried out by the screen fire assay method to verify high-grade sample assays obtained initially by fire assay. As part of the Company’s QA/QC procedures, internationally recognized standards, blanks and duplicates were inserted into the sample batches prior to submitting to SGS Laboratory.

Qualified Person
Peter N. Cowley, who is President of Loncor and a “qualified person” as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release.

About Loncor Resources Inc.
Loncor is a Canadian gold exploration company focussed on the Ngayu Greenstone Belt in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”). The Loncor team has over two decades of experience of operating in the DRC. Ngayu has numerous positive indicators based on the geology, artisanal activity, encouraging drill results and an existing gold resource base. The area is 220 kilometres southwest of the Kibali gold mine, which is operated by Barrick Gold (TSX: “ABX”; NYSE: “GOLD”). In 2019, Kibali produced record gold production of 814,000 ounces at “all-in sustaining costs” of US$693/oz. Barrick has highlighted the Ngayu Greenstone Belt as an area of particular exploration interest and is moving towards earning 65% of any discovery in approximately 2,000 km2 of Loncor ground in the Ngayu Greenstone Belt that they are exploring. As per the joint venture agreements entered between Loncor and Barrick, Barrick manages and funds exploration on the said ground until the completion of a pre-feasibility study on any gold discovery meeting the investment criteria of Barrick. In a recent announcement Barrick highlighted six prospective drill targets and have commenced confirmation drilling in 2020. Subject to the DRC’s free carried interest requirements, Barrick would earn 65% of any discovery with Loncor holding the balance of 35%. Loncor will be required, from that point forward, to fund its pro-rata share in respect of the discovery in order to maintain its 35% interest or be diluted.

In addition to the Barrick joint ventures, certain parcels of land within the Ngayu Belt surrounding and including the Adumbi and Makapela deposits have been retained by Loncor and do not form part of any of the joint ventures with Barrick. Barrick has certain pre-emptive rights over the Makapela deposit. Adumbi and two neighbouring deposits hold an inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold (30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au), with 84.68% of this resource being attributable to Loncor via its 84.68% interest in the project. Loncor’s Makapela deposit (which is 100%-owned by Loncor) has an indicated mineral resource of 614,200 ounces of gold (2.20 million tonnes grading 8.66 g/t Au) and an inferred mineral resource of 549,600 ounces of gold (3.22 million tonnes grading 5.30 g/t Au).

Resolute Mining Limited (ASX/LSE: “RSG”) owns 26% of the outstanding shares of Loncor and holds a pre-emptive right to maintain its pro rata equity ownership interest in Loncor following the completion by Loncor of any proposed equity offering.

Durango $DGO.ca Engages Additional Drill Company for Windfall Lake $OSK.ca $BTR.ca $SII.ca $TLG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:30 AM on Friday, December 18th, 2020

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – December 18, 2020 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OT C :ATOXF), (the “ Company ” or “ Durango ”) is pleased to announce it has engaged an additional drill company for its exploration program on its wholly owned properties at Windfall Lake, Québec .

East Barry Property

Further to the news release of November 19, 2020, Durango has received drill permits for the East Barry claim block to test high priority targets coincident with high till anomalies of up to 2.19 g/t gold and pristine gold grains in till trend. Now that weather conditions are favourable for preparing access, a drill has been commissioned to test a geophysical anomaly which also coincides with an artificial intelligence (“ AI ”) target. The Company has hired Faubert & Fils from Val d’Or, Québec, to complete several initial exploration drill holes on its East Barry Property.

Trove Property

To date, 1,700m has been drilled in eight holes on the Trove Property at an average depth of 213m. Drilling is still continuing at the Trove Property with the drilling crew working on hole #9. As noted previously, the objective of the drill campaign is to test IP anomalies derived from previous exploration work.

The main lithologies observed in the drill holes are represented by mafic to intermediate volcanics, metasediments and felsic intrusives crosscut by quartz feldspar porphyry (“ QFP ”) and felsic dikes containing disseminated to semi-massive sulphides. Molybdenite, chalcopyrite and silver indicator alterations were also observed. The lithological contacts are marked by chlorite-epidote-carbonate alterations containing centimetric to decimetric mineralized quartz veins. The labs continue to be delayed and backed up due to extremely high quantities of samples they are receiving from multiple exploration companies and a shortage of personnel.

Durango’s high priority targets remain undrilled due the land condition caused by unseasonably warm weather, which has prevented the freezing required for access to the drill hole locations. Durango has 20 high priority holes planned for drilling on the Trove Property, between 200 and 800 meters deep, when the ground is sufficiently frozen to permit drill access.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “The unseasonably warm weather has been challenging for our inaugural drill campaign on the Trove Property. We have completed initial drilling which will help our exploration team understand the local geology and structure in the area. As the weather in the area has recently become seasonably cold, we expect that our high priority targets will be drilled early in January. We are drilling in one of the best regions in Canada to find gold, we are fully financed and will continue to drill into 2021. We anticipate an exciting year ahead for Durango and our shareholders.”

The technical contents of this press release were approved by George Yordanov, professional geologist, an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Trove Property has not yet been subject to an NI-43-101 report.

Trove Property, Québec

Durango owns 100% interest in the Trove claims, which are surrounded by Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX-OSK), in the Windfall Lake area between Val d’Or and Chibougamau, Québec. The 1,185 hectare property is compelling due to the coincidence of gold found in tills coinciding with magnetic highs, several Induced Polarization anomalies and two faults crosscutting the property. The fault systems north and south of the Trove, control gold mineralization elsewhere, indicating the Trove has excellent exploration potential. Durango received all the final drill permits for the Trove property in September 2019 and is currently undertaking its inaugural drill program.

East Barry Property, Québec

Durango owns 100% interest in the East Barry claims which run parallel to Trove claims. The East Barry block is over 7,740 hectares in size and borders the eastern perimeter of Osisko’s holdings and the southern perimeter of Bonterra’s holdings and is less than 4km south of the Gladiator deposit. The East Barry claims host a gold trend which covers approximately 10km in length and is subparallel to the main Barry Fault held by Osisko Mining. In 2018, a till sampling program was conducted by Durango and one of the till samples returned forty-two (42) pristine gold grains with reported gold values of 2.184 g/t Au. A high count of pristine gold grains indicates that the gold has travelled a very short distance from its source. The East Barry block underwent an Induced Polarization (“ IP ”) survey in 2018 which identified a high priority target coincident with the high count of pristine gold grains.

About Durango

Durango is a natural resources company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company is positioned for discovery with a 100% interest in a strategically located group of properties in the Windfall Lake gold camp in the Abitibi region of Québec , Canada.

American Creek Provides Update on Its First Quarter Filings

1.078 gpt AuEq over 345.0 Meters Within 921.0 Meters of 0.821 gpt AuEq (Hole GS-20-83) at the Goldstorm Zone, Treaty Creek, Located in B.C.’s Golden Triangle

Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – December 16, 2020) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (“the Corporation”) is pleased to present results for the fifth set of diamond drill holes for the Goldstorm Zone at their flagship property, Treaty Creek. The project is located in the heart of the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia and is on-trend from Seabridge’s KSM Project located five kilometers southwest of the Goldstorm Zone. Results from 12 diamond drill holes have recently been received from MSA Labs with final results from another 11 diamond drill holes pending. All drill holes have successfully intersected the Goldstorm System, expanding and defining the mineralization along the northeast and southeast axes, as well as to depth. The Goldstorm System 300 Horizon has now been traced for 1100 meters along the northeast axis and, as well, the CS-600 and DS-5 zones have been expanded to the northeast and to depth. All 39 drill holes completed at Goldstorm during the 2020 program have encountered significant precious metal mineralization. The 2020 Treaty Creek Diamond Drill Program was completed last week, and field personnel have winterized the camp. The track-components of two track-mounted diamond drills remain on site ready for start-up of the 2021 exploration season.

Tudor Gold’s Vice President of Project Development, Ken Konkin, P.Geo., states: “We are very pleased with the results obtained from all 39 drill holes completed this year to-date and we anticipate the release of the final 11 holes of the year within a few weeks. This brings the total to 50 drill holes that were completed this year at the Goldstorm Zone. These latest holes continued to expand the limits of the mineralized targets along the northeastern and the southeastern axes, and to depth. For a fifth consecutive press release, we have surpassed our best result from last years’ drill hole program (0.697 AuEq over 1081.5 meters in hole GS-19-47) with drill holes GS-20-83 and GS-20-94 as described in the headline. The final 11 drill holes represent over 9600 meters of drilling and we expect that MSA Labs will complete the analysis of these final samples as soon as possible.”

Treaty Creek Highlights include:

Twelve drill holes presented in this press release total 11,551.1 meters.
The best results were from GS-20-94, a near-surface 354.0 meter intercept (36.0-390 m) averaging 1.215 gpt AuEq and GS-20-82 with a 351m intercept (113.0-464.0 m) averaging 1.051 gpt AuEq. Both holes are located on Section 111+00 NE.
Equally impressive was drill hole GS-20-83 that also had a near-surface intercept over a similar 345.0 meters (73.5-418.5 m) that averaged 1.078 gpt AuEq on Section 112+50 NE.
More Core Drilling did an excellent job completing 50 HQ/NQ2 diamond drill holes totaling 43,972 meters at Goldstorm and 1,636 meters at the Perfect Storm Target with three drill holes.

The following three tables below provide the complete list of composited drill hole results as well as the drill hole data including hole location, elevation, depth, dip and azimuth.

*lost drill hole in mineralization

All assay values are uncut, and intervals reflect drilled intercept lengths.
HQ and NQ2 diameter core samples were sawn in half and typically sampled at standard 1.5m intervals.
The following metal prices were used to calculate the Au Eq metal content: Gold $1322/oz, Ag: $15.91/oz, Cu: $2.86/lb. Calculations used the formula Au Eq g/t = (Au g/t) + (Ag g/t x 0.012) + (Cu% x 1.4835). All metals are reported in USD and calculations do not consider metal recoveries. True widths have not been determined as the mineralized body remains open in all directions. Further drilling is required to determine the mineralized body orientation and true widths.

Walter Storm, President and CEO, stated: “We are very pleased to announce the safe successful completion of our 2020 diamond drill hole program. We completed over four times the amount of drilling from the previous year’s program, greatly advancing Tudor’s flagship Treaty Creek Property. We completed almost 44,000 meters of drilling at the Goldstorm System and over 1,600 meters of drilling at the Perfect Storm target. Once we receive the final results from the last eleven drill holes, we will then pass the data to our resource engineers and geoscientists for an initial resource estimate. Continued drilling is required for 2021 to locate the limits or edges of the mineralized system. Due to the size and robust nature of the mineralization, the Goldstorm System remains open on all fronts and to depth. We are proud of what we have achieved in these last two years of exploration and in-particular, the great effort to withstand the harsh winter elements during November and December at Treaty Creek to bring the 2020 drill campaign to a safe close. Our commitment is to continue to advance the project as quickly as possible. We have left the track-drill carriage components for two track-mounted drill rigs on-site so our team can get an early start to the 2021 drill season. We look forward to receiving the final results of the eleven drill holes from MSA Labs within a couple of weeks to complete the 2020 exploration season on schedule.”

Tudor Gold Corp and our associated service companies have taken extreme measures to maintain the highest professional standards while working within COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Darren Blaney, CEO of American Creek, commented: “We are extremely impressed with the drill program our JV partner Tudor Gold has completed this year and with the significant potential deposit that it has revealed. The Goldstorm zone already appears to be world-scale in size and yet is still open from the northeast to the southeast and remarkably, also at depth. The Magnetotelluric survey done in 2016, which shows potential continuation of gold mineralization well beyond the extent of this year’s drilling of Goldstorm, has proven to be very accurate. That same survey data also shows tremendous potential at the Perfect Storm zone which, due to permitting restraints, was only able to have the outer halo drill tested this year, and yet the drilling still encountered gold mineralization.

“Recognition must be given to both Tudor Gold and More Core for initiating the drill program in early May and carrying through to December. This is no small feat in the Golden Triangle region. While bad weather and Covid-19 limited many projects within the area this season, Tudor and More Core delivered an incredible 45 km of drilling with every hole encountering significant gold mineralization.

“We look forward to the remaining holes, the metallurgical work, and ultimately the maiden resource calculation of the Goldstorm on Treaty Creek sometime in the new year.”

QA/QC

Drill core samples were prepared at MSA Labs’ Preparation Laboratory in Terrace, BC and assayed at MSA Labs’ Geochemical Laboratory in Langley, BC. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the submission of blanks, certified standards and duplicate samples inserted at regular intervals into the sample stream by Tudor Gold personnel. MSA Laboratories quality system complies with the requirements for the Company. International Standards ISO 17025 and ISO 9001. MSA Labs is independent of the company.

American Creek and Teuton are both fully carried until such time as a Production Notice is issued, at which time they are required to contribute their respective 20% share of development costs. Until such time, Tudor is required to fund all exploration and development costs while both American Creek and Teuton have “free rides”.

Treaty Creek Background

The Treaty Creek Project lies in the same hydrothermal system as Pretium’s Brucejack mine and Seabridge’s KSM deposits however, with far better logistics.

American Creek: A Positive Impact For The Sulphurets Hydrothermal System $AMK.ca $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca $AOT.ca $ESK.ca

On Friday December 4th, Seabridge Gold (SEA) announced its intentions to purchase the Snowfield deposit from Pretium Resources (PVG), details here. As a result, we experienced a high volume of emails and calls as to how this may affect Treaty Creek. In our opinion, we think it’s a positive move for all three projects located in the Sulphurets Hydrothermal System. Our analysis of the transaction and the associated benefits is as follows:

Below is an image created by Seabridge showing the KSM and Snowfield deposits and the relative gold grades/value of those deposits. Technically, the Snowfield is the top part of the Mitchell deposit, which it sits beside.

On its own, the Snowfield added no present value to Pretium in the near term for a few reasons: The Snowfield has a very low-grade halo that on its own, at present gold values, isn’t profitable to produce. It has a higher-grade core but that core isn’t large enough to justify the costs to get it out at today’s gold price. Logistics. Because the Snowfield is located upslope above the Mitchell deposit in the Mitchell valley, mine construction would have been very difficult due to the terrain combined with the proximity to the Mitchell deposit located below owned by Seabridge. Access. Even if the gold grades were higher and there was room to develop the Snowfield on its own, there appears to be no feasible way to get the ore to market except through the proposed Mitchell Teigen Tunnels (MTT) which (if built) would be owned by Seabridge. The above, and perhaps some other reasons as well, is why the Snowfield deposit has been sitting there with no progression for many years, which in its present state added zero value to Pretium. It could be argued that a sale worth $3 USD per ounce in the ground is a lot better than $0 per ounce while it sits dormant. We think this was a great deal for PVG as they get: $100m up front in working capital $20m down the road A Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) of 1.5% down the road

By combining the Snowfield with the KSM, SEA removed the “higher grade core isn’t big enough on its own” problem, the “no room” problem, and the “access” problem. We think this was a great deal for SEA as it helps them accomplish their goals:

Improve their ounces/share ratio
Improve the NPV and IRR on the KSM
Allow them to defer underground operations until later in the production schedule
Pay down the Cap-X for the KSM quicker

We think this a great deal for Treaty Creek (TC) shareholders (TUD, AMK, TUO) because anything that improves Seabridge’s chances of going into production is potentially beneficial to us:

The only route for the KSM to go into production is through the use of the MTT which closely follows both the Kyba Line and the Sulphurets Thrust Fault through most of TC (this is the most heavily mineralized trend though TC including the Perfect Storm (PSZ), the Goldstorm (GS), and orpiment (GS2) zones as seen on the image above.
1. If SEA is able to find a route through TC without disturbing potential deposits then it will build important infrastructure (bridge, roads, power, etc.) right onto TC.
2. If SEA isn’t able to find a route through TC without disturbing potential deposits then SEA potentially will form an agreement with TC owners (benefiting TC shareholders) followed by building important infrastructure right onto TC.
A second mine, especially one of this magnitude, going into production within the Sulphurets Hydrothermal System will undoubtedly capture the attention of investors and mining companies and shine a spotlight on the third project advancing in the same system; Treaty Creek.

The $3 USD per ounce paid for the Snowfield was a good deal for both companies and has no real bearing on potential insitu gold deposits and associated valuations at TC. It’s all a question of grade, logistics, and potential buyers. The Snowfield has low grade, horrible logistics (to be developed on its own) and potential for only one buyer (SEA). TC sits “on the right side of the mountain” only 20km away down a valley from the highway and the cheapest power in the world. The Goldstorm zone also has its highest gold grades right at surface (300 zone) over a very extended area opposed to dipping steeply into the ground. The logistics, and therefor potential Cap-X and Op-X, are completely different at TC vs both the Snowfield and the KSM.

In conclusion, we believe that the Snowfield purchase by Seabridge will positively impact every company located within the Sulphurets Hydrothermal System. We view this as another very positive development in the rapid progression of Treaty Creek’s development.

Hello Current and Potential Investors,

The new restrictions in BC came fast and we had to act quickly in regards to our AGM in order to comply with these mandates. For all companies, this year has been challenging to accommodate in person events like conferences and investor meetings. Though we normally see very few investors (if any) attend these meetings, these in person meetings can provide opportunities to allow investors to ask important questions and have management provide answers. Open communication with our shareholders is important to us. Since our question and answer portion of the AGM has been cancelled due to these circumstances we want to make sure we remind all current and potential investors of our contact information so we can answer any questions you may have.

If you have any questions you would like to speak with us on, please Email any questions to [email protected] and we will answer these directly or you can call our office at 604-227-3554.

In addition, we will be compiling the questions asked and the answers into a Q&A that will be distributed to our mailing list.

We are very excited for the coming months. We are awaiting assays from the Regal Drill Program. Unfortunately the labs have a considerably longer turnaround time than normal, but our Regal results should come back to us in late December. Our Drill is currently turning on the Carscallen Extension Property and we are very optimistic for results in 2021!

Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you,

Rob Edwards

Loncor $LN.ca Reports Multiple Gold Intercepts in First Hole at its Flagship Adumbi Deposit $TECK.ca $RSG $NGT.to $GOLD $NEM

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:11 PM on Monday, November 30th, 2020

Drills 20.33 m of 2.47 g/t Au at Adumbi

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company“) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce that the first core hole of a 7,000 metre drilling program at its Adumbi deposit has intersected multiple gold sections including 20.33 metres grading 2.47 g/t gold (including 4.8 metres grading 5.40 g/t Au), 7.33 metres grading 5.80 g/t Au and 20.77 metres grading 1.72 g/t Au, on its 84.68% owned Imbo Project in the eastern part of the Ngayu greenstone belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (see Figure 1).

Mineralized sections are summarised in the table below:

Borehole Number	From (m)	To (m)	Intersected Width (m)	Grade (g/t) Au
LADD001	202.58	223.35	20.77	1.72
LADD001	231.27	237.17	5.90	1.89
LADD001	251.27	258.60	7.33	5.80
LADD001	295.25	298.70	3.45	2.10
LADD001	301.62	321.95	20.33	2.47
LADD001	Incl. 317.11	321.95	4.80	5.40

Borehole LADD001 had an inclination of minus 65 degrees and azimuth of 220 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are 82% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut.

The objective of the 7,000 metre drilling program is to outline additional mineral resources to the current 2.5 million ounces on Loncor’s 84.68%-owned Imbo Project which contains the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au). At the Adumbi deposit where there is a current inferred resource of 2.19 million ounces of gold (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t Au), drilling is targeting mineralized zones within the US$1,500 open pit shell where closer spaced holes such as LADD001 are required to delineate additional mineral resources. Drilling will also focus on outlining mineral resources below the pit shell where the gold mineralization remains open at depth over a strike length of over 600 metres.

In addition to core hole LADD001, LADD003 has now been completed to the southeast of LADD001 and within the open pit shell and will be submitted for assay. Deeper holes LADD004 and LADD005 are currently being drilled to intercept the downdip/down plunge mineralized zone below the open pit (see Figure 2 – Longitudinal Section of the Adumbi Deposit). Hole LADD004 is targeting mineralization 150 metres below previous hole S53 drilled in 2017 which intersected 23.5 metres grading 6.08 g/t Au and 9.37 metres grading 3.70 g/t at the base of the open pit shell.

Commenting on these drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “We are encouraged by the results of this first hole of our 7,000 metre drilling program at Adumbi where we are targeting a significant increase of resources, both within and below the open pit shell. Exploration is also ongoing on new targets along the 14 kilometre long mineralized trend on the Imbo permit in order to generate additional drill targets. If we achieve our objectives, the next step will be a Preliminary Economic Assessment to illustrate the positive economic potential that we believe is contained within Adumbi and the neighbouring deposits and other targets within the Imbo exploitation permit.”

About Loncor Resources Inc.
Loncor is a Canadian gold exploration company focussed on the Ngayu Greenstone Belt in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”). The Loncor team has over two decades of experience of operating in the DRC. Ngayu has numerous positive indicators based on the geology, artisanal activity, encouraging drill results and an existing gold resource base. The area is 220 kilometres southwest of the Kibali gold mine, which is operated by Barrick Gold (TSX: “ABX”; NYSE: “GOLD”). In 2019, Kibali produced record gold production of 814,000 ounces at “all-in sustaining costs” of US$693/oz. Barrick has highlighted the Ngayu Greenstone Belt as an area of particular exploration interest and is moving towards earning 65% of any discovery in approximately 2,000 km2 of Loncor ground in the Ngayu Greenstone Belt that they are exploring. As per the joint venture agreements entered between Loncor and Barrick, Barrick manages and funds exploration on the said ground until the completion of a pre-feasibility study on any gold discovery meeting the investment criteria of Barrick. In a recent announcement Barrick highlighted six prospective drill targets and have commenced confirmation drilling in 2020. Subject to the DRC’s free carried interest requirements, Barrick would earn 65% of any discovery with Loncor holding the balance of 35%. Loncor will be required, from that point forward, to fund its pro-rata share in respect of the discovery in order to maintain its 35% interest or be diluted.

Additional information with respect to Loncor and its projects can be found on Loncor’s website at www.loncor.com.

Crescat November Research Letter:

Gold & Silver Miners Turn Over a New Leaf:

Top 50 largest gold and silver miners have had five straight quarters of positive free cash flow for the first time in the last three decades.
Gold and silver mining companies are the real beneficiaries of today’s macro environment with strong balance sheets, high growth, and still incredible undervaluation.

One of the few areas of the equity market that is meaningfully improving fundamentally is the precious metals mining industry. With gold and silver prices at their current levels, these companies are set to massively expand their margins. This is indeed a new phenomenon for the miners. After 25 years of constantly losing money and regrettably creating a long-standing reputation of being capital destroyers, this industry is becoming one of the most disciplined and profitable businesses in the global economy today. In fact, the median stock among top 50 largest gold and silver miners has had five straight quarters of positive free cash flow for the first time in the last three decades. We believe this is only the beginning. These stocks are becoming new cash flow machines with the strong support of precious metals prices moving higher. Gold and silver mining companies are the real beneficiaries of today’s macro environment with strong balance sheets, high growth, and still incredible undervaluation.

Risk Parity Exhaustion

Among all the demand drivers for gold, we view the lack of competing cheap assets being a major one. For the first time in history, junk bonds and stocks are record overvalued in tandem. We have only seen the exact opposite of this. That was in the Global Financial Crisis when US equities and corporate bonds both hit rock bottom. This time, we are on the other side of the coin. Both sides of the so-called risk parity strategy, stocks and bonds, are at extreme valuations. In a world of near zero to negative yields and frothy valuations across almost every risky asset, it will become imperative for investors to seek out undervalued assets that are true beneficiaries of the current macro environment. In our view, precious metals are poised to become the new core must-have asset for capital allocators. Gold and silver are risk-off alternatives to bonds in the portfolios of prudently minded investors in today’s market. At the same time, attractively priced, high-growth gold and silver mining companies serve to ignite the animal spirits of traders and investors looking for a risk-on alternative to overvalued, low-growth stocks at large.

Posted by AGORACOM at 3:34 PM on Monday, November 23rd, 2020

American Creek Resources (AMK:TSX-V) Treaty Creek Project has been the subject of incredible discussion in 2020, including by Eric Sprott who stated Treaty Creek may have as much as 50,000,000 ounces of gold this summer.

There isn’t a single junior exploration company that isn’t envious of Treaty Creek and the one good problem it is creating for the Company – it is overshadowing everything else in the Company. As such, AMK recently announced the following:

“American Creek Announces Spinout of Dunwell Property and Other Properties and Assets and Sets Date for Annual General & Special Meeting”

Watch this powerful interview with CEO Darren Blaney as to the reasons for the spinout that go well beyond the obvious.
