American Creek Resources – Electrum Project High Grade Specimens Average 27,092 gm/t Silver and 248 gm/t Gold

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:16 AM on Tuesday, January 19th, 2016

  • Results from outcrop specimens of high grade material collected on its Electrum property from the Shiny Cliff vein on the North Face Showing
  • Specimens from the structure averages 27,092 gm/tonne silver and 248 gm/tonne gold

CARDSTON, ALBERTA–(Jan. 19, 2016) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to provide results from outcrop specimens of high grade material collected on its Electrum property from the Shiny Cliff vein on the North Face Showing.

Twenty-two specimens were collected along a central druzy quartz vein, approximately 35 cm wide, infilled with dark grey mineralization. The specimens from the structure averages 27,092 gm/tonne silver and 248 gm/tonne gold.

The following table lists the results.


The American Creek 2015 fall exploration program focused on the Shiny Cliff area. Its objective was to gain a better understanding of the geological structures present and to test a newly developed exploration concept and approach for the property.

A specialized diamond coring drill was utilized which had the capability to drill flat holes and which provided the ability to drill targets of interest with more precision. Approximately 100 grab specimens were collected from various locations on the property and eight shallow diamond drill holes totaling 1020 feet were drilled.

Drilling was carried out 15 metres to the southeast towards the Shiny Cliff showings. Our current understanding of the larger structure which hosts the high grade specimens from the Shiny Cliff showings are that the alteration zone is roughly 10 metres wide containing 3 veins. The structure strikes NorthWest and dips steeply to the SouthWest into the hillside. The Shiny Cliff Vein material assayed is interpreted to be the central of the 3 veins intersected by the drilling.

Precious metal values for all specimens were measured by the accurate, but destructive, fire-assay. 50 gram specimens were fire assayed by Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratories (BVML) services in Vancouver, Canada. The technique used lead collection fire assay fusion for total sample decomposition, digestion of the Ag dore bead and the gold bead is then analyzed by gravimetric method. It should be noted that an extra equipment wash with silica between specimen pulverizing was in place to reduce sample cross contamination.

Additional assays results, along with an interpretation of those results, will be released in the near future after further analysis has been completed.

The Electrum project is 100 per cent owned by American Creek and is located in the Golden Triangle, north of Stewart, B.C., a region known for its dynamic, large scale precious metal exploration and mining activities

The Electrum project (historical East gold mine) is located approximately 25 km south of Pretivm’s Brucejack gold mine. The Electrum is road accessible and is only 45 km from world-class concentrate shipping port facilities located in Stewart.

The Qualified Person for the Electrum exploration program is Alex Burton, P. Eng., P. Geo. for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.

American Creek Resources Ltd. is a Canadian junior mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral deposits within the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

China Railway First Survey & Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. to Negotiate Terms for KWG Feasibility Study

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:26 AM on Tuesday, December 29th, 2015

  • Advised by China Railway First Survey & Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. through KWG’s agent Golden Share Mining Corporation, that an initial analysis by FSDI of KWG’s data has been completed
  • FSDI has indicated that the quality and extent of the data is adequate for FSDI to undertake a Feasibility Study on behalf of the parties
  • meeting to establish terms of reference has been mutually scheduled by KWG and FSDI in January 2016.

KWG to Grant Stock Options, File Revised 43-101

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Dec. 29, 2015) – KWG Resources Inc. (CSE:KWG) (FRANKFURT:KW6) (“KWG”) has been advised by China Railway First Survey & Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. (“FSDI”) through KWG’s agent Golden Share Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:GSH) (“GSH”), that an initial analysis by FSDI of KWG’s data has been completed. FSDI has indicated that the quality and extent of the data is adequate for FSDI to undertake a Feasibility Study on behalf of the parties. A meeting to establish terms of reference has been mutually scheduled by KWG and FSDI in January 2016.

Stock Option Grants:

Following the expiry of 11 million stock option awards on December 21, the Board of Directors of KWG has granted new options to purchase 13.5 million shares, effective December 30, 2015, under its Incentive Stock Option Plan. The options are exercisable for 5 years at $0.05 which is the minimum price permitted under the Company’s listing agreement with the Canadian Securities Exchange. Options to purchase 3 million shares were granted to four Directors, options to purchase 4 million shares were granted to a Director and Officer, options to purchase 3.5 million shares were granted to two Officers, options to purchase 2 million shares were granted to two employees, and options to purchase 1 million shares were granted to two consultants.

Black Horse 43-101 amended:

At the request of the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”), KWG will file an amended version of the report “National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report, Koper Lake Project Chromite Deposit, McFauld’s Lake Area, Ontario, Canada, Porcupine Mining Division, NTS 43D16, Updated Mineral Resource Estimation Technical Report, UTM: Zone 16, 548460m E, 5842511m N, NAD83” which is now dated December 15, 2015. The report was not previously addressed to the property’s optionor Fancamp Exploration Ltd. as well as the optionee KWG; this has been corrected. Also, on page 58 the description of the limits of the mineral envelope had incorrect distances to the nearest holes; these have now been corrected. Further, on page 59 a new section titled “Determination of Cut-off Grade” has been added. A version extracted from another report done by the authour for nearby chromite deposits, and vetted by the Ontario Securities Commission, was initially provided but BCSC requested more information. It should be noted that the original facts supporting the use of the cut-off chosen still remain. Section 23 (Other Relevant Information) has been amended by removing all mention of the sample analysis program done using a Niton portable X-ray analyser.

KWG was incorporated and is a reporting issuer in the province of Quebec, the primary regulator of its securities distributions. The Company is also a reporting issuer in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta as well as British Columbia, and its shares were formerly listed for trading on the TSX Venture Exchange as well as the Canadian Securities Exchange where they now trade exclusively. The currently-dated report now addresses all issues raised in prior reviews amongst these regulators.

“It is perhaps a measure of the significance of the Ring of Fire discoveries to witness the attention that the characterization and calculation of our chromite resources are receiving from our many regulators,” said KWG President Frank Smeenk. “It is not always fun, but it is certainly resulting in an important constituency of the earth sciences community becoming very well informed about this enormous discovery of new Canadian mineral wealth!”

About FSDI:

Established in 1953, China Railway First Survey & Design Institute Group Co., Ltd. (“FSDI”) holds 26 national Grade-A complex qualification certificates for engineering survey, design, supervision and consultation.

Over the past 60 years since establishment, FSDI has led the design and construction of over 48,000 km of railways represented by western China’s railway network, and undertaken over 5,000 km of high-speed railways which have been in operation or are under construction in China.

Uragold Not Affect by FerroAtlantica Decision To Pull Out Of Port Cartier, Quebec Project

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:09 AM on Friday, December 18th, 2015

Uragold_new

  • Major silicon metal producer (1st Producer) that confirmed that Roncevaux material is highly suited for their silicon metal production and that has expressed interest in purchasing 20,000 – 50,000 tons annually of High Purity Lump Quartz
  • (2nd Producer) that has requested samples from the Roncevaux Property (See Press Release August 27, 2015) were not FerroAtlantica

Montreal, Quebec / December 18 2015 – Uragold (TSX Venture: UBR) would like to inform its shareholders that the major silicon metal producer (1st Producer) that confirmed that our Roncevaux material is highly suited for their silicon metal production and that has expressed interest in purchasing 20,000 – 50,000 tons annually of High Purity Lump Quartz from Roncevaux (See Press Release March 2, 2015) as well as the second producer (2nd Producer) that has requested samples from the Roncevaux Property (See Press Release August 27, 2015) were not FerroAtlantica.

Bernard Tourillon, Chairman and CEO Of Uragold Stated “The decision of FerroAtlantica to cancel its development projects in Port Cartier, Quebec has no bearing on Uragold business model based on developing our quartz deposits and the implementation of the PUREVAP(TM) Quartz Vaporization Reactor (“PUREVAP(TM) QVR”) Technology for the Solar Industry.”

The PUREVAP(TM) IMPACT – HIGHEST PURITY, LOWEST COST SUPPLIER TO SOLAR INDUSTRY

The PUREVAP(TM) QVR is a proprietary technology (Patent Pending), developed by PyroGenesis Canada Inc., (PYR: TSX-V) to which Uragold has been granted a worldwide exclusive right of usage that uses a plasma arc within a vacuum furnace. This unique One Step technology should allow Uragold to become a vertically integrated and disruptive player in the solar industry through the conversion of its High Purity Quartz Projects into the highest purity, lowest cost supplier of High Purity Si (99.99% Si), Solar Grade Si (6N / 99.9999% Si) and/or Higher Purity Si (9N / 99.9999999% Si).”

$USD 12 BILLION ANNUAL INDUSTRY, GROWING BY 6%+ PER YEAR

The Silicon Metal, Solar Grade Si and/or Higher Purity Si markets are a $USD 12 billion a year industry. Metallurgical Grade Si world consumption topped 2.25Mt in 2014, exceeding $US 6 billion in sales1. About 10% of 2014 global Metallurgical Grade Si production was further refined into Solar Grade Si and and/or Higher Purity Si, worth another $US 6 billion. Propelled by increased demand for Solar Grade Silicon Metal and Polysilicon for photovoltaic solar panels, global Silicon Metal demand is expected to grow by 6%+ per Annum.

Private Placement

Uragold announces that it’s proceeding with a new non-brokered private placement of 8,396,000 units (“Unit”) at $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $419,800. Insider participation in this placement could accounts up to 31% of the total amount subscribed. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for general corporate expenditures and exploration activities.

Each Unit is comprised of one (1) common share and one (1) common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the capital stock of the Company at an exercise price of $ 0.07 during a period of 36 months from the date of closing of the placement. Each share issued pursuant to the placement will have a mandatory four (4) month holding period from the date of closing of the placement. The placement is subject to standard regulatory approvals.

The funding will provide Uragold with resources to market our worldwide exclusive technology grant from PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (PYR: TSX-V) to convert our highly coveted High Purity Quartz Projects into the highest purity, lowest cost supplier of Solar Grade Silicon Metal and Polysilicon to the solar industry (See Press Release September 30, 2015).

The Company will pay a cash finder’s fee of $1,278 and issued of 25,560 warrants to Foster & Associates Financial Services Inc. of Toronto, Ontario. Each warrant will give the right to purchase one (1) common share at 7.0 cents for 36 months.

Shares For Services Program

In accordance with the agreement between Uragold and AGORACOM (see Uragold press release July 18, 2014) Uragold Board has approved the issuance of 282,500 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per share for the outstanding debt of $14,125 for services rendered during the period from July 16, 2015 ending October 15, 2015.

About Uragold

Uragold, with its worldwide exclusive usage of the PUREVAP(TM) Quartz Vaporization Reactor (“PUREVAP(TM) QVR”), is endeavouring to become a vertically integrated High Purity Silicon Metal (99.99% Si), Solar Grade Silicon Metal (6N Purity / 99.9999% Si) and/or Higher (9N Purity / 99.9999999% Si) producer.

The PUREVAP(TM) QVR process’s big advantage is its one step direct transformation of Quartz High Purity Silicon Metal (99.99% Si), Solar Grade Silicon Metal (6N Purity / 99.9999% Si) and/or Higher (9N Purity / 99.9999999% Si) producer, thereby potentially allowing Uragold to manufacture high value material for the same operating cost presently being paid by traditional producers to make Metallurgical Grade Si (98.5% Si) using the traditional arc furnace approach.

Uragold is also the largest holder of High Purity Quartz properties in Quebec, with over 3,500 Ha under claims. Despite the abundance of quartz, very few deposits are suitable for high purity applications. High Purity Quartz supplies are tightening, prices are rising, and exponential growth is forecast. Quartz from the Roncevaux property successfully passed rigorous testing protocols of a major silicon metal producer confirming that our material is highly suited for their silicon metal production.

Durango Applies for Additional Ground Adjacent to NMX and Will Not Proceed with PE Claims

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:22 AM on Tuesday, December 15th, 2015

  • Management has acquired additional applications on ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium (TSX.V-NMX)
  • Durango currently owns 100% of 23 claim cells covering over 1,240 hectares of ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium’s proposed Whabouchi

Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / December 15, 2015 – Durango Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Durango“) announces that management has acquired additional applications on ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium (TSX.V-NMX). Durango currently owns 100% of 23 claim cells covering over 1,240 hectares of ground adjacent to Nemaska Lithium’s proposed Whabouchi mine as posted on the map on the Durango corporate website.

Further to the news releases of November 23rd and December 9th, 2015, Durango will not be proceeding with the lithium brine claims adjacent to Pure Energy in Nevada. After discussions with several possible joint venture partners, Durango was unable to negotiate favourable terms; therefore it will not proceed with the right of first refusal on the East Fault acquisition in Nevada.

The Company will continue to explore in Quebec on the Decouverte and NMX East property due to their close proximity to each other, easy winter road access and the availability of experienced exploration crews.

Durango has applied for ground a few kilometers southeast of Canada Carbon Inc.’s (TSX.V-CCB) Miller property in southern Quebec which has the following historical reference from GM report 01579 in 1951, “…Le gisement consiste en un affleurement plat de calcaire cristallin de 200 pieds de longeur et d’une centaine de pieds de largeur…” which translates “…the deposit consists of a flat outcrop of crystalline limestone 200 feet in length and a hundred feet wide”.

Additionally, Durango looks to explore its northwestern BC LNG related limestone claims in the New Year and will release additional updates as they become available.

About Durango

Durango is a natural resources company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company has a 100% interest in the Mayner’s Fortune and Smith Island limestone properties in northwest British Columbia, the Decouverte and Trove gold properties in the Abitibi Region of Quebec, and the NMX East lithium property near the Whabouchi mine in Quebec, as well as three sets of claims in the Labrador nickel corridor.

DURANGO APPLIQUE AU SOL supplementaire adjacent A NMX et ne passeront pas aux revendications PE

Vancouver, Colombie-Britannique / TheNewswire 15 / Decembre 2015 – Ressources Durango Inc. (la <<Societe>> ou <<Durango>>) annonce qu’elle a acquis la gestion des applications supplementaires sur un terrain adjacent a Nemaska Lithium (TSX.V–NMX). Durango possede actuellement 100% de 23 cellules d’une superficie de plus de 1240 hectares de terrain adjacent a la mine Whabouchi propose de NemaskaLithium telle que publiee sur la carte sur le site Web d’entreprise de Durango.

Suite aux communiques de presse du 23 Novembre et le 9 Decembre, 2015, Durango ne donnera pas suite aux revendications de lithium de la saumure adjacentes a Pure Energy dans le Nevada. Apres des discussions avec plusieurs partenaires possibles de la coentreprise, Durango a ete incapable de negocier des conditions favorables; par consequent, il ne poursuivra pas le droit de premier refus sur l’acquisition Fault-Orient, dans le Nevada.

La Societe continuera a explorer au Quebec sur la propriete Decouverte et NMX-Orient en raison de leur proximite les uns aux autres, l’acces routier facile en hiver et de la disponibilite des equipes d’exploration experimentee.

Durango a demande sol a quelques kilometres au sud-est de la propriete (TSX.V–CCB) Miller du Canada Carbon Inc. dans le sud du Quebec qui a la reference historique suivant de GM rapport 01579 en 1951, “… Le gisement Consiste en affleurement de l’ONU plat de calcaire cristallin de200 pieds de longeur et d’Une Centaine de pieds de largeur … “

En outre, Durango cherche a explorer ses nord-ouest BC LNG revendications calcaires liees a la nouvelle annee et publiera des mises a joursupplementaires qu’ils deviennent disponibles.

A propos de Durango

Durango est une societe des ressources naturelles engagee dans l’acquisition et l’exploration de proprietes minieres. La Societe a un interet de 100% dans la fortune et Smith Island proprietes de calcaire de la Mayner du nord-ouest Colombie-Britannique, la decouverte et de proprietes auriferes Trove dans la region de l’Abitibi au Quebec, et la propriete de lithium NMX Est, pres de la mine Whabouchi au Quebec, ainsi que trois jeux de revendications dans le couloir de nickel du Labrador.

Durango Enters JV Discussions on Lithium Adjacent to Pure Energy

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:54 AM on Wednesday, December 9th, 2015

Logo

  • Entered into joint venture discussions on the Clayton Valley South lithium property
  • Adjacent to Pure Energy Minerals (TSX.V-PE) and 1.5km away from Albemarle (NYSE-ALB) in the Esmeralda County area of Nevada, USA

Vancouver, BC / December 9, 2015 – Durango Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that further to the news release issued on November 23, 2015, the Company has entered into joint venture discussions on the Clayton Valley South lithium property which is located adjacent to Pure Energy Minerals (TSX.V-PE) and 1.5km away from Albemarle (NYSE-ALB) in the Esmeralda County area of Nevada, USA.

The East Fault Property is a 2,460 acre property which adjoins Pure Energy’s eastern border of their Clayton Valley property which has an inferred resource of 816,000 metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent. The East Fault Property includes eleven kilometers (7 miles) of the East Fault, 3.5 kilometers (2.2 miles) of the E-2 Fault, and eight

+6kilometers (5 miles) of the (projected) 1,000 meter bedrock depth gravity contour (See Pure Energy NI 43-101 Technical Report, July 17, 2015).

According to the 1986 paper titled “Origin of the Lithium-Rich Brine, Clayton Valley, Nevada” by Joseph R. Davis, et al, the “highest lithium concentrations are found in brines produced from the tuff where it abuts the faults and forms a structural trap for the dense brines.” The report goes on to state that the most lithium-enriched brines lie near the bounding fault on the eastern side of the basin.

Although gravity surveys have not yet been performed over most of the property area, projection from an available gravity survey covering the adjacent Pure Energy property and part of the East Fault Property indicate that the lithium beds may extend to the East Fault. The East Fault claims comprise over 5 miles (8 km) of the (projected) 1,000 meter gravity contour line which can be viewed here:

( la “Societe” ou ” Durango “) annonce que suite a la publication de nouvelles publie le 23 Novembre 2015 , la Societe a engage des discussions de coentreprise sur le Clayton propriete specifique au lithium sud de la vallee qui se trouve adjacente a Pure Energy Minerals ( TSX.V – PE) et 1,5 km de Albemarle ( NYSE – ALB ) dans la zone Esmeralda comte de Nevada, USA .

La faille de propriete East est une propriete de 2460 acres qui jouxte la frontiere orientale de Pure Energy de leur propriete Clayton Valley qui a des ressources inferees de 816,000 tonnes metriques de carbonate de lithium equivalent. La faille de propriete East inclut onze kilometres (7 miles) de la faille Sud, a 3,5 kilometres (2,2 miles) de la faille de E – 2, et huit 6 km (5 miles) de la (projetee) de 1000 metres de profondeur du substratum rocheux gravite contour (Voir Ni pur de l’energie Rapport technique 43-101, le 17 Juillet, 2015).

Selon l’article de 1986 intitule “l’Origine du lithium saumure riche, Clayton Valley, Nevada” par Joseph R. Davis, et al, les ” concentrations de lithium plus eleves se trouvent dans les saumures produites a partir du tuf ou il bute contre les defauts et forme une piege structurel pour les saumures denses. >> le rapport poursuit en indiquant que la plupart des saumures de lithium enrichi se trouvent pres de la faille de delimitation sur la cote orientale du bassin.

Bien que les enquetes de gravite n’a pas encore ete effectue sur la plupart de la region de la propriete, la projection d’un leve gravimetrique disponibles couvrant la propriete de Pure Energie adjacente et une partie de la faille de propriete East indiquent que les lits de lithium peuvent etendre a la faille de l’Est. Les revendications Fault -Orient representent plus de 5 miles ( 8 km) de la ( projetee ) 1000 ligne de contour compteur de gravite qui peut etre consulte ici:

INDUSTRY BULLETIN: The world watches Paris and Provincial Governments unveil clean technology plans – but where will the critical raw materials come from?

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:55 PM on Thursday, December 3rd, 2015

  • Recent policy initiatives in Canada will likely result in increased funding for clean technology innovation, which will lead to increased demand for critical materials needed in clean technology such as lithium.
  • The world is closely watching the United Nations Conference on Climate Change ongoing until December 11, 2015 in Paris. The expected outcome of this conference is a new international agreement to control carbon emissions.

December 3, 2015

Avalon Rare Metals Inc. is pleased to provide an update on a few recent national and international initiatives related to the ongoing “Clean Technology Revolution.” Recent policy initiatives in Canada will likely result in increased funding for clean technology innovation, which will lead to increased demand for critical materials needed in clean technology such as lithium. Developing supply chains will need companies such as Avalon to provide the necessary critical raw materials to achieve governments’ ambitious policy goals.

The world is closely watching the United Nations Conference on Climate Change ongoing until December 11, 2015 in Paris. The expected outcome of this conference is a new international agreement to control carbon emissions. It is anticipated that there will be agreement around the urgent need for more efficient and cleaner energy generation and reduced reliance on the burning of fossil fuels. Prior to the conference, two Canadian provinces, Alberta and Ontario, unveiled their strategies to combat greenhouse gas emission and to develop a low-carbon economy.

In Alberta, Premier Rachel Notley outlined the province’s Climate Leadership Plan and in Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne presented a somewhat similar Climate Change Strategy. While there are some differences, one can note that both of these strategies focus on expanding renewable energy initiatives such as wind power and solar power, as well as increased use of hybrid and electric vehicles and other energy efficient technologies. All of these technologies rely on energy storage, which is being enabled by advances in lithium ion battery technology.

Battery expert Jay Whitacre, an investor at Carnegie Mellon, states, “If you are serious about eliminating combustion of fossil fuels to power anything, you can’t do it without [energy] storage.” There remains an impending supply crisis surrounding the availability of critical elements such as lithium, as outlined by David Abraham, author of “The Elements of Power,” who calls on world leaders to address the pending shortage of critical elements needed for clean technologies in his recent Op-Ed in the New York Times: “The Next Resource Shortage?.” Limited investment in new production in recent years and long timelines to bring new production to market signal looming supply shortages and higher prices as demand outstrips supply.

This is good news for aspiring producers like Avalon positioned with advanced lithium projects in favourable political jurisdictions such as Ontario.

Rapid development of electric car technology, enabled by lower cost and more efficient lithium ion batteries, is being led in North America by Tesla Motors, Inc. Tesla is building a lithium ion battery “Gigafactory” in Nevada to produce rechargeable batteries for its future electric cars and the “Powerwall” battery for home energy storage. It has also committed to sourcing the critical materials for the Gigafactory in North America. New supply sources will need to be developed to serve their needs as well as other battery makers around the world. Avalon’s Separation Rapids Lithium Project could become part of the solution.

Policymakers around the world keen on implementing the Clean Technology Revolution would be wise to consider: Where will all the critical raw materials come from?
