Explor Intersects Multiple Copper Zones Grades Up to 2.36% Cu Over 11.5 Meters on the Chester Copper Property $EXS.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:46 PM on Thursday, March 16th, 2017

Multiple Copper Zones Grades Up to 2.36% Cu Over 11.5 Meters
Chief Executive Officer of Explor Resources Inc. commented:Â “We are extremely pleased and encouraged by these preliminary drill results. The presence of multiple copper mineralized zones in each of the holes drilled is very significant in terms of exploration. The increase in strike length of the known mineralization from 500 to 750 metersÂ confirms the potential to significantly increase the resources on the property. The property continues to be open on strike to the west and Northwest.”

ROUYN-NORANDA, CANADA -Â (March 16, 2017) –Â Explor Resources Inc.Â (“Explor” or the “Corporation“)Â (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQB:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1)Â is pleased to announce further results from the 12 Diamond Drill Holes completed on the Chester Copper Property. The Chester Copper property is located in the Northumberland County, 70 km southwest of Bathurst, New Brunswick and 50 km west-northwest of Miramichi, New Brunswick, within the Bathurst Mining Camp. This area has an extensive history in base metal production from VMS deposits.

There has been very little exploration work in this area of the Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC) since the initial exploration more than 60 years ago.Â Of significance also is the fact that three (3) age date studies of the rock in the area since 2005 have indicated an age of 469+/- 0.3 ma. All of the main largest VMS deposits in the BMC (including BMS #12 and #6, the Caribou Deposit (currently being developed by Travalli) and the past producing Heath Steele Mines, are associated with this age date for the footwall felsic rocks. That new data in 2007 places Explor’s Chester deposit is in the same time frame as the Brunswick Mining No. 12 and No. 6 deposits located in the BMC.

New Brunswick is the home of the No 12 massive sulphide deposit (The Brunswick Deposit) which was in continuous production from 1964 to its closure in March of 2013 (to Feb 2013, 135,903,168 tonnes milled at 3.44 % Pb, 8.74 % Zn, 0.37 % Cu and 102 g/t Ag). The Brunswick deposits (No 6 and No 12) are situated in the Nepisiguit Falls Group of rocks in the Lower Tetagouche group of the BMC. There are 46 known VMS deposits in the BMC.

The property is located in the southern-most part of the Bathurst Mining Camp and consist ofÂ 174 Mineral Claim Units within a total of five (5) Mineral Claims (1571, 2428, 6003, 6005 and 7045) comprising approximately 3,828 hectares as shown on the attached map.

Chris Dupont, President and Chief Executive Officer of Explor Resources Inc. commented:Â “We are extremely pleased and encouraged by these preliminary drill results. The presence of multiple copper mineralized zones in each of the holes drilled is very significant in terms of exploration. The increase in strike length of the known mineralization from 500 to 750 metersÂ confirms the potential to significantly increase the resources on the property. The property continues to be open on strike to the west and Northwest.”

A total of 4 diamond drill holes were drilled on claim 1571. The first three diamond drill holes that were drilled were fan holes from the same location. This successfully tested the extension of the copper stringer zone for a distance of 250 meters west of previous drilling. The fourth drill hole was located approximately 100 meters west (and 38 meters south) of the first three drill holes, confirming the continuity of the mineralization to the west and Northwest and adding 250 meters of strike length to the known deposit. It intersected the target horizon and favorable geology from 49 meters to 172 meters.

Further to the west the copper deposit goes down dip and onto claim 6003. At about 1,100 meters west of the first drill hole, drill holeÂ 6003-16-012Â was drilled at a vertical dip. It eventually went to a depth of 600 meters and intersected previously unknown mineralization near surface (18 meters) and also extending the deep main Chester Stringer zone an additional 650 meters westward than any previous reliable drilling (i.e. casing in place and core in government storage).Â It also confirms the existence of the alteration zone and the host stratigraphic horizon to a depth not previously known or expected. The chloritized favorable horizon extends from a depth of 472.5 meters to 561 meters with low grade copper mineralization documented from 519 meters to 543 meters.

In the north part of claim 6003, an untested soil geochemical anomaly was tested.Â Copper mineralization was discovered as pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite veinlets in felsic volcanic associated with the soil anomaly.Â Copper mineralization was also discovered in this area in 2014 and a soil survey on claim 7045 to the west have unexplained copper and lead anomalies which may be associated with previously mentioned soil anomaly and this horizon.

To the south on Claim 6005, two drill holes were put down to test a soil anomaly apparently associated with a historical drill hole, dating to about the 1956 to 1958 era, with a reported value of more than 2% copper. No indication of any mineralization was discovered in the two drill holes.

The Thormodsdalur Project

The Opportunity
Iceland Resources EHF is an Icelandic corporation with gold/silver/copper/cobalt/zinc projects in Iceland. Amongst its projects are the 100% owned Reykjanes developmental project covering 897.5 km^2Â of licenced area that is in close proximity to Reykjavik and Keflavik and the gold project of Thormodsdalur located approximately 10km east of the city limits of the capital Reykjavik.
.Terms of Acquisition
St-Georges will create a new subsidiary in order to transfer its ownership of Iceland Resources. 40% of this subsidiary will be owned by the former Iceland Resources shareholders and the remaining 60% will be owned by St-Georges. Additionally, St-Georges make the following commitments:

Issuing 6,000,000 common shares of St-Georges to Iceland Resourcesâ€™ shareholders with a 12-month escrow release schedule;
Issuing a $350,000 debenture, bearing a 6% annual interest (cash or shares), maturing in November 2026 to be distributed to Iceland Resourcesâ€™ shareholders and some creditors; and
$1,000,000 of expenditure on the Iceland assets over the next 24 months, including mineral exploration expenses and metallurgical process research & development.

St-Georges Priorities in IcelandSt-Georgesâ€™ priority in Iceland will be to further explore the Thormodsdalur (Thor) gold project, which is currently in the process of being permitted for drilling later this summer.Â The company plans a 3,000 meter diamond drilling campaign that will be comprised of twin-drilling certain historical drill holes and will add in-fill holes in the identified gold trend which strikes some 700 meters that has seen drilling in 2006.Â The objective will be to gather enough data to be able to establish a first resource estimate by year end.Management of St-Georges will be publishing the summary of a geological due diligence report focused on the Thor Project and the drill core chemical analysis results that was commissioned to Dr Natasha Henwood as soon as Mr. Joel Scodnick and Mr. Herb Duerr, both Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, complete their review.Thormodsdalur is located about 20km east of the city centre of ReykjavÃk and south-east of the lake Hafravatn. The project was discovered in 1908. The property produced mineral concentrate from 1911 to 1925 when over 300 meters of tunnels were dug below surface excavations. The ore recovered was transported to Germany and historic sources reported values ranging between 11g/t and 315g/t Au. Â Note: All information pertaining to mineral resources, grades or operational results herewith presented are historical in nature and while relevant, the information was obtained from sources that cannot be independently verified.More recently, visible gold was seen in core from geothermal wells located on the project. This new discovery compelled the Icelandic government to create a mining entity for gold exploration in Iceland called MÃ¡lmÃs.

The best intercepts from the diamond drilling are 33.5m @ 8.0 g/t Au (true thickness) and 5.2m @ 35.4 g/t Au (true thickness).

Iceland Resources entered into a Joint Venture agreement with Melmi EHF, MÃ¡lmÃs EHFÂ (majority government owned) and Gold Ãsland Limited. Â Melmi is the owner of the Thormodsdalur license that was first granted in October 2004. Melmi is owned by MÃ¡lmÃs (51%) and Gold Ãsland (49%).St-Georges obligation in order to complete the earn-in agreement and to crystalize its initial equity position of 41% of the joint-venture on Thormodsdalur Â is for St-Georges to complete an additional 3,000 meters of drilling and publish a NI 43-101 compliant resource. Other Joint-Venture partners at this stage are the Iceland government controlled Malmis (30.1%) and Gold Island (28.9%) with St-Georges being the operator.

General Disclaimer: The current press release contains references to mineral sampling results from sources in the geological literature published by departments in the Icelandic government. .Â St-Georges has not sampled and analysed all of these samples. Readers should exercise caution as real width, depth or length of mineralisation encounter is not always defined. No resource estimate that is compliant with the standards of the National Instrument 43-101 is currently available.Â The technical information in this release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Herb Duerr, P. Geo. and Mr. Joel Scodnick, P. Geo.Â St-Georges vice-president exploration, both ‘qualified person’ as defined by National Instrument 43-101Â Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.Â

Tartisan Resources Corp. Signs an LOI for the Purchase of the Ichuna Copper-Silver Property in Peru $TTC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:20 AM on Thursday, March 16th, 2017

Signed a letter of intent with Duran Ventures Inc.Â for the purchase of the IchuÃ±a Copper-Silver property in Peru
Recently entered into an LOI with Duran regarding the purchase of the Don Pancho property

Toronto, Ontario – Tartisan Resources Corp. (CSE: TTC) (â€œTartisanâ€, or the â€œCompanyâ€) Tartisan Resources Corp. (â€œTartisanâ€ or the â€œCompanyâ€) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a letter of intent (â€œLOIâ€) with Duran Ventures Inc. (V-DRV) for the purchase of the IchuÃ±a Copper-Silver property (â€œIchuÃ±aâ€ or the â€œProjectâ€) in Peru. Tartisan recently entered into an LOI with Duran regarding the purchase of the Don Pancho property (see Companyâ€™s new release dated February 22, 2017).

Tartisan has entered into an agreement with Duran to acquire 100% of the IchuÃ±a Copper-Silver property in Peru located in the department of Moquegua, 825 kilometres southwest of Lima, comprising one concession of 1000 hectares. More specifically, the IchuÃ±a property is located 120 kilometres northeast of Arequipa and is contiguous to the San Gabriel Project, previously called the Chucapaca Project, a gold-silver discovery announced in 2010 through a joint venture with Goldfields Ltd. and CompaÃ±ia de Minas Buenaventura (â€œBuenaventuraâ€). An initial resource of 83.7 MT, 1.9 g/t Au, 8.2 g/t Ag and 0.09% Cu for an 5.6 million equivalent Au ounces was published in May 2010*. *(https://www.goldfields.co.za/med_news_article.php?articleID=592)

In August 2014, Buenaventura announced the purchase of Goldfield’s 51-per-cent interest in the San Gabriel Project for $81-million (U.S.) and a 1.5% net smelter royalty (â€œNSRâ€) on all metal sales. Currently Buenaventura is proposing an underground mine at the project, specifically on the Canahuire gold zone, located approximately three kilometres to the south of the IchuÃ±a project.

Duran acquired the 1000 hectare IchuÃ±a concession in 2006 before the discovery at San Gabriel. Extensive high grade surface Cu-Ag mineralization was initially observed by Duranâ€™s geologists and was later followed up by a property wide geophysical survey in 2010. The work identified a large IP geophysical anomaly trending northwest-southeast measuring over 1,500 metres in length. It is important to note that the discovery of the Canahuire zone was a blind target with a strong geophysical response. Economic mineralization in the Canahuire zone does not outcrop at surface and follows a recessive area. The geophysical anomaly on IchuÃ±a has similar characteristics to the Canahuire zone.

Duran optioned the property to a third party in 2013 and limited work was undertaken, which included seven diamond drill holes totaling 2,754 metres. Drilling focused only along intrusive and limestone contact(s) where access and community agreements were in place. The drilling did not return significant results along this contact. More importantly, the IP target was not tested adequately as only one hole collared at the most south western tip was completed. A program of more detailed geophysics and diamond drilling is planned to test this extremely interesting target.

The agreement will permit Tartisan to acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Project by paying a total $50,000 and issuing 500,000 common shares by May 17, 2017. Upon completion of 5,000 metres of drilling and/or underground development, a further 150,000 shares are payable, and if a National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource is published, a further 150,000 shares are payable, and if the Company loses control of the project either by sale or joint venture, a further 200,000 shares are payable to Duran. Duran will retain a 2%NSR, of which half (1%) can be purchased by Tartisan for US$500,000.

Tartisan Resources Corp. common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE:TTC). Currently, there are 63,287,629 shares outstanding (82,759,982 fully diluted).

Explor Announces Kidd Township Diamond Drilling Program $EXS.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:22 AM on Wednesday, March 15th, 2017

Exs logo

Commenced of a Diamond Drilling Program on the Kidd Township Property
Completed a geophysical program consisting of mag and max/min to better define the targets in December 2016 and has started a 3,000 meter diamond drill program

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC–(March 15, 2017) – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or “the Corporation”)Â (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQB:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce the commencement of a Diamond Drilling Program on the Kidd Township Property. The Corporation’s Kidd Township Group of Properties are located to the North, South, West and East of the Open Pit in Kidd Township, located approximately 20 km north of Timmins, Ontario. Explor’s Kidd Township’s Group of Properties have a land position that cover an area of approximately 2,805.20 hectares as shown on the attached Property Map. The most obvious topographical feature in the area is the Open Pit located in the central portion of Explor’s Kidd Township group of Properties. Explor has completed a geophysical program consisting of mag and max/min to better define the targets in December 2016 and has started a 3,000 meter diamond drill program. The diamond drill program is underway and results are pending.

The property is located in a Greenstone Belt composed mainly of sequences of Meta-Volcanic rocks cut by faults and deformation zones that lie in a NW-SE direction. There are many suites of Mafic Volcanic rocks as well. Excellent access to the property is provided by Hwy 655.

Exploration drilling completed by Explor to date has revealed a Major Fault Structure running to the west of the Open Pit in a NW-SE direction. A thorough review of all existing geophysical data appears to support these findings. Drilling by Falconbridge in 1998 to the southeast of the Open Pit (Hole # K26-01) returned 4.7m in which 4 of the 5 samples returned Zinc values from 4200 – 8900 ppm and Copper values that ranged from 700 – 2280 ppm. The Magnetic Anomaly associated with these results appears to continue onto Explor’s property holdings. A series of untested AEM (Airborne Electromagnetic) conductors detected on the Kidd Township Group of Properties to the North, South, East and West of the existing Open Pit clearly warrant further investigation.

Some of the EM (Electromagnetic) targets occur along magnetic boundaries suggestive of Rhyolite/Basalt contacts. The Mine in the Center of the Kidd Township Group of properties has produced more than 153,000,000 tonnes of Base Metal Ore (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag) since it began production in 1966.

Explor believes in the “Cluster Effect of VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide) Deposits”. Well known examples of the cluster effect of VMS Deposits are the Bathurst Mining Camp where 47 deposits have been found to date, including the Brunswick No.12 and the Brunswick No.6 Mines where more than 130,000,000 tonnes of Base Metal Ore has been produced to date; and the Noranda Mining Camp where 18 deposits have been found to date, with 68,100,000 tons of Base Metal Production from the Horne Mine and Quemont Deposits alone. The presence of Mafic and Felsic rocks on the Kidd Township Group of Properties with anomalous zinc and copper supports the opinion that additional VMS Deposits exist within the Kidd Township Group of Properties as shown on the attached map located in the Timmins/Porcupine Mining Camp.

Durango Provides Update On Properties in Windfall Lake Area $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:01 AM on Monday, March 13th, 2017

Announces technical specifications on itsÂ Trove Property that is currently under negotiation as well as the additional property in the area that was recently acquired by Durango

Vancouver, BC / March 13, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc.Â (TSX.V-DGO) (OTC-ATOXF),Â (the “Company” or “Durango”)Â announces technical specifications on itsÂ Trove Property that is currently under negotiation (the “Trove Property”) as well as the additional property in the area that was recently acquired by Durango (the “New Windfall Property”).

Previous exploration work conducted by Durango on the Trove Property included a VLF-EM survey and a detailed humus grid sampling of 1046 samples. NE-SW trending conductors were identified and a strong anomalous gold signal was defined from the humus survey in the SW portion of the property, about 160 m from an NE-SW regional fault crossing the Trove Property. This anomalous gold signal consists of three contiguous anomalous gold values, including 171 ppb Au, which is the highest assayed gold value that was returned from the humus sampling1.

The Trove Property lies in a highly favorable area of the Windfall Lake Gold camp and is almost entirely enclosed by Osisko Mining’s (TSX-OSK) ground. Per Durango’s map, several Osisko till anomalies are adjacent to Trove Property, three of which are located down-ice, indicating a possible source inside the limits of the Trove Property. A multi-element statistical approach is needed to enhance the interpretation of the humus soil sampling survey.

Durango’s recent acquisition of the New Windfall Property announced on March 6th, 2017Â is located 2.5 km east of the Trove Property and adjoins the southern limit of Osisko’s ground. A limited amount of exploration work has been conducted over this ground which totals an area of over 2,000 hectares. The New Windfall Property is located within 1.5 km of the regional NE-SW faults extending from the Gladiator project of Bonterra Resources. A Power line is crossing the central portion of the claim block and several lakes and rivers are present, which may facilitate the access for future exploration works. Topography indicates that the area could be suitable for a till survey, as a first step to outline future targets. An additional 600 hectares is located to the west of the Trove Property and to the south.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “Durango has been positioned for discovery in the Windfall Lake area since 2010 with positive indicators on the Trove Property and our recently-acquired New Windfall Property in the area. Durango looks forward to an exciting year ahead and is working diligently to bring additional value to our shareholders.”

Drivers, Restraints & Popular Trends of Anthracite Coal Mining Industry : 2019 $AEXE.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:27 AM on Wednesday, March 8th, 2017

Most favored PCIâ€™s (pulverized coal injection products) and ULV (ultra low volatile products) that is directly fed into blast furnace in countries such as China and India
Use of ULV is sought by steel mills as it provides superior performance due to higher carbon and energy content
Immensely increased the market for anthracite coal mining

Anthracite is a hard and compact variety of coal that has the highest content of carbon amongst all types of coals. With fewer impurities & highest calorific value there is a global increase in anthraciteâ€™s demand which is escalating the anthracite coal mining market. It accounts for only 1% of the total worldâ€™s coal reserves. Residue left over after the combustion of anthracite has fewer impurities with negligible smoke compared to other varieties of coal which makes it an efficient fuel. The global market for anthracite coal mining keeps on changing and evolving based on new partnerships, acquisitions or new players. There is a fundamental shift in the mineral resources market where the traditional producers and suppliers are diverting supplies to domestic consumers and are focusing on its imports.

Anthracite is the most favored PCIâ€™s (pulverized coal injection products) and ULV (ultra low volatile products) that is directly fed into blast furnace in countries such as China and India. The use of coke has been reduced by anthracite, as it is a superior and cleaner substitute; moreover the worldwide shortage of coke and its relatively high price has strengthened the demand for ULV anthracite in future. The use of ULV is sought by steel mills as it provides superior performance due to higher carbon and energy content. This has immensely increased the market for anthracite coal mining. Mining is a risk prone task which destroys the land and emits harmful gases besides the anthracite mines are prone to danger that includes roof falls, explosions, mine fires and collapsing of mines. The miners fear many types of natural incidents that can be caused by properties of coal and underground atmosphere such as â€œmarsh gasâ€ and â€œfire dampâ€.

Anthracite is classified in to three grades based on its carbon content and its mining is done based on the type of coal required. The segmentation of anthracite mining market is done on the basis of anthracite coal grades:

Standard grade
High grade
Ultra-high grade
The segmentation of anthracite coal mining market can also be done on the basis of types of mining in anthracite fields as follows:

Shaft mine
Drift mine
Slope mine
Surface mine

Anthracite can be extracted from the mountain forming areas where the metamorphosed anthracite coal deposits are found. The anthracite coal mining market is segmented in the basis of regions as:

Pennsylvania
China
Vietnam
North Korea
U.S.
The end users of anthracite coal include sectors such as power industry, railway, coke producers, steel manufacturers and commercial users. Some of the other areas of application of anthracite include as a coke substitute in chemical industries, in building material production, sugar production and in production of plastics, sorbents & adsorbents.
