#Copper hits three-week high as dollar rally pauses, #nickel steady $LBSR $TMBXF

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:41 PM on Monday, February 5th, 2018
  • Copper hit a three-week high on Monday as the dollar rally paused and the balance of supply and demand looked to stay relatively tight
  • Dollar remained mired near three-year lows as resurgent U.S. wage inflation data failed to quell scepticism among investors about the currency’s outlook

By Maytaal Angel

LONDON, Feb 5 (Reuters) – Copper hit a three-week high on Monday as the dollar rally paused and the balance of supply and demand looked to stay relatively tight, while nickel climbed after posting its largest daily loss in two months on Friday.

The dollar remained mired near three-year lows as resurgent U.S. wage inflation data failed to quell scepticism among investors about the currency’s outlook.

U.S. payrolls on Friday showed wages growing at their fastest pace in more than eight years.

“The dollar is driving the market,” said Casper Burgering, an analyst at ABN Amro. A weaker dollar makes dollar-priced metals cheaper for non-U.S. investors.

Burgering also said that copper relative to other metals “is lagging, it’s up only 1 percent for the year. It’s undervalued because the fundamentals are really good for this year.”

COPPER, NICKEL PRICES: London Metal Exchange copper closed up 1.8 percent at $7,169 a tonne, having hit its highest since mid-January at $7,220, while nickel ended up 2.4 percent at $13,745 a tonne, having plunged 4 percent on Friday.

Some of China’s stainless steel mills, major consumers of nickel, are losing money at current prices and have already wound down their operations ahead of the week-long Chinese Lunar New Year, broker Argonaut Securities said in a report.

“We expect to see price weakness in nickel going forward,” it said.

* MARKETS: Stock markets were routed around the globe while bond yields climbed as resurgent U.S. inflation raised the possibility central banks would tighten policy more aggressively than had been expected.

* CHINA ECONOMY: China is expected to report solid growth in January trade this week, moderating inflation and renewed bank lending, but the timing of the long Lunar New Year holidays will make it difficult to determine clear trends for at least another month.

* LEAD: Lead prices took a breather from Friday’s 6-1/2 year top, ending down 1 percent at $2,652. Indicating nearby tightness, cash lead traded at a $17.25 a tonne premium to the three month price CMPB0-3.

* ZINC: Indicating nearby tightness, LME data showed one entity holds 80 to 90 percent of zinc warrants, cash and “tom” positions <0#LME-WHT>. Zinc ended up 1.3 percent at $3,548.

* INVESTORS: Hedge funds and money managers cut their net “long” or buy position in COMEX copper in the week to Jan. 30, data showed.

* ALUMINIUM: Russian aluminium maker Rusal estimates that China’s winter capacity cuts will curb output by 1 million tonnes annually. Aluminium ended up 0.1 percent at $2,211.

* TIN: Tin ended up 1.8 percent at $21,920.

St-Georges Partners with Strategic Metallurgy

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:58 PM on Thursday, November 26th, 2015

Sx_-_logo_-_large

  •  Announced that it has signed a binding letter of intent with Strategic Metallurgy Pty Ltd. of Australia and its president Mr. Gary Johnson
  •  Letter of intent creates a partnership between St-Georges and Strategic Metallurgy in the development and commercialization of new mining extraction technologies aimed to result in cleaner and more environmentally friendly extraction processing technology

Montreal, Quebec / November 26, 2015 – St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTC: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding letter of intent with Strategic Metallurgy Pty Ltd. of Australia and its president Mr. Gary Johnson.

The letter of intent executed this week creates a partnership between St-Georges and Strategic Metallurgy in the development and commercialization of new mining extraction technologies aimed to result in cleaner and more environmentally friendly extraction processing technology and significantly lower nickel extraction costs in future generation mills.

Technology Focus

St-Georges will move its focus from mining exploration to mining technology research & development with the goal of creating a basket of patented technologies marketable in the near future. The Company will create a subsidiary that will be co-managed by Gary Johnson and Enrico Di Cesare, a metallurgist and director of the Company, which will have the mandate to advance nickel-related extraction research projects.

The near-term research program will target these initial sets of processing technologies already identified by Strategic Metallurgy:

– Pre-concentration flotation of difficult ore under modified chemistry conditions. Possible step change in recovery-grade performance for nickel sulfide flotation;

– Upgrading of nickel laterites by the systematic elimination of gangues materials. Mineralogy driven with hydrometallurgy approach that reduces drastically the cost of iron handling in the process;

– High-pH leaching of high MgO sulfide ores in the presence of complexing agents;

– Treating pyrrhotite concentrates already mined and milled (0.6-1.0% Ni) with hydrometallurgy

Enrico di Cesare stated, “The rise in extraction costs, stringent environmental emission targets and the drop in metal prices have triggered a renewed interest in cost-effective and green processing technologies with existing metal producers (…) our goal is to position ourselves as an important provider of innovative solutions that will enable cash-restricted companies to improve their bottom lines with their current operations, find solutions for minerals that are currently seen as ‘difficult’ and position ourselves as a provider of environmentally friendly processing solutions.”

Financing

Strategic Metallurgy has agreed to put in place a collateralized line of credit (“CLOC”) in favor of St-Georges for an amount up to $1 million CAD. The collateral used for the CLOC will be created in the form of an equity subscription by Strategic Metallurgy for 10,800,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.065 per Unit, for gross proceeds to St-Georges of $702,000. Each Unit will include a common share in the capital of the Company at a deemed price of $0.065 and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.10 for a period of three years from closing; the Warrants will be transferable. The Warrants will be distributed to the shareholders of Strategic Metallurgy after their regulatory hold period of four months. The common shares will be held in escrow, with such escrow agent to be appointed by St-Georges.

The CLOC will only be used for R&D expenses. St-Georges will have the choice to repay the CLOC either in cash or by letting Strategic Metallurgy receive the shares held in escrow.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

“Frank Dumas”

FRANK DUMAS, President

Additional Encouraging Results from the Julie Nickel-Copper Discovery; 1.82% Nickel Over 11.64 Metres Channel Intersection

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:15 PM on Monday, January 26th, 2015

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 26, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) is pleased to announce today that a new series of results increased the size and grades of the previously reported mineralized T1 Zone, as well as additional positive results from the T2 Zone from its wholly owned Julie Nickel-Copper project on the Quebec North Shore.

Results from T1 Zone

The initial discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters was reported on December 29, 2014. New results from the Channel #1 on the T1 Zone extend the length of the intersection an additional 3.15 meters grading 2.14% Nickel, 0.33% Copper and 0.04% Cobalt. These compiled results are highlighted in the table below:

The starting point of the channel cut was located at N49? 57.463′ W69? 27.045′

Zone T1 is an area measuring 70 metres by 56 metres. The ultramafic intrusive suite that hosts the new discovery can be traced along a magnetic conductor identified in 2011, which runs for approximately 13 kilometres in a WSW to ENE trend.

Results from T2 Zone

The T2 Zone is a surface mineralized zone measuring 52 metres by 18 metres. This zone is located 116 metres away from the initial discovery of “T1” on an East-North-East trend. It is categorized by a series of small gossans within a larger zone of mafic and ultramafic rocks at or near surface.

When added to the T1 Zone already identified it covers a total strike length of 238 meters of mineralisation and coincides with the ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery.

The table below outlines the results from an 18.68 metre channel sample taken sub-parallel the mineralized body at surface and starts approximately 171 meters away from the end of the channel #1 on T1 zone:

Quality Control

Mr. Joel Scodnick (P.Geo.), Vice-President Exploration of the Company, is the independent qualified person for the technical disclosure contained in this news release. Mr. Scodnick has supervised the work programs on the Julie Project, examined the samples summarized in this release, discussed, reviewed the results with the Company’s geological staff and reviewed the available analytical and quality control results.

Channel cuts samples and drill core samples were transported in sealed bags from Baie-Comeau to a warehouse facility in Montreal. There they have been opened, washed, photographed again, logged, resealed and transported to Agat Laboratories in Dorval, Quebec. Agat Laboratories transported the samples to their analytical facilities in Mississauga, Ontario. Base metal analyses were initially obtained via ICP-AES Aqua Regia and 4 Acid digestions. The two digestion methods show good correlation. Nickel values in excess of 10,000 ppm were reanalyzed using a sodium peroxide fusion followed by ICP-AES finish.

Continuity of Nickel-Copper System Extended for 584 Meters on Julie Nickel Discovery on the Quebec North-Shore

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:54 PM on Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

  • New batch of results has extended the total strike of the Nickel-Copper occurrences on the Julie-Nickel Discovery to a length of 584 meters.
  • Best result from the portable drill samples yielded 1.17% Nickel at approximately 211 meters away from a previous discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 13, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) is pleased to announced today that a new batch of results has extended the total strike of the Nickel-Copper occurrences on the Julie-Nickel Discovery to a length of 584 meters. The best result from the portable drill samples yielded 1.17% Nickel at approximately 211 meters away from a previous discovery on the T1 Zone which yielded 1.71% Nickel over 8.49 meters

Results Warrant Acceleration of Plans for Julie Nickel Discovery

“We are very encouraged by these new additional results coming out of the Julie-Nickel Project. The fact that these latest results were achieved over 200 metres away from a previous discovery makes us optimistic for the future of this early stage project. As such, we have accelerated our plan and expect to bring this discovery to drill ready stage before the summer of 2015.” Commented Frank Dumas, President & CEO of the Company.

“This acceleration is further supported by the expectation that nickel prices could move dramatically higher over the next two years as a cyclical recovery takes hold in the base metal sector, according to a recent report from Scotiabank” Dumas went on to say.

Joel Scodnick, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration of St-Georges commented: “(…) no matter how you look at this mineralized corridor, there’s a 13km long magnetic anomaly that appears to be spatially associated with the Julie showing and all the other showings along strike of the Julie showing as mentioned in the press release. This structure is further evidence of a fairly extensive and pervasive plumbing system responsible for the concentrations of nickel discovered so far. Based on the surface work conducted and very shallow drilling using a man-held portable drill it is imperative at this point that St George’s establish a detailed grid in preparation for a diamond drilling campaign. If it can be established that the nickel sulphide enrichment is present at depth and along strike then a deposit of significance could be present, especially given the fact that the structure is so long and most like deep-rooted.”

Results Summary

T2 Zone

A surface mineralized zone of 52 meters by 18 meters referred to as “T2” has been identified. This zone is located 116 meters away from the initial discovery of “T1” on an East-North-East trend. It is categorized by a series of small gossans within a larger zone of mafic and ultramafic rocks at or near surface.

When added to the T1 Zone already identified (See Press Release, December 29, 2014) it covers a total of 238 meters of mineralisation and coincides with the ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery which has been identified by geophysical data obtained by St-Georges in 2011 where a 13 kilometres magnetic conductor on a WSW to ENE trend was discovered.

The table below outline the results from a 2.88 meter channel sample taken in parallel with the mineralized body at surface:

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T2 Channel 6 0 2.88 2.88 0.828 0.135 0.025

* Reported channel sample sections are not true widths. An apparent surface width of 8 meters can be calculated but at this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space.

The starting point of the channel sample was located at N49? 57.517′ W69? 26.911′

Results from a man-held portable drill hole are also available. The hole was drilled vertically from surface to a shallow depth of 0.40 meters and was assayed as a whole. The drill hole was located at N49? 57.513′ W69? 26.911′.

T9 ZONE

The T9 Exploration Target is a zone that runs on a West-East axis located approximately 740 meters directly to the north of the Zone T4 boundary and 1.07 km to the East-North-East of Zone T1. The surface mineralization cover 142 meters x 21 meters and it is characterized by a large gossan zone. The gossan is hosted by mafic and ultramafic rocks in contact with a Gneissic unit. This zone is several hundred meters outside of the magnetic conductor identified and lies in a magnetic low area of the property.

Initial partial results from this zone confirmed the presence of Copper and yield these results:

Posted in St. Georges Platinum and Base Metals | Comments Off on Continuity of Nickel-Copper System Extended for 584 Meters on Julie Nickel Discovery on the Quebec North-Shore

St. Georges New Nickel Discovery on the Julie Project in Quebec; Best Results Includes 2.07% Nickel Over 3.62 Meters

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:43 AM on Monday, December 29th, 2014

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / December 29, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CNSX: SX) (BSE: 85G1) today confirmed the presence of a significant zone of Nickel-Copper-Cobalt mineralization on its wholly-owned Julie project located on the Quebec North Shore. Initial results received from Agat Laboratories from the latest surface exploration campaign yielded some noticeable nickel grade intervals from channel samples, drill core and blast samples.

A surface area measuring 70 metres by 56 metres referred to as “T1 Zone” is the focus of this news release. All of the initial results provided in the table below are from this zone. The ultramafic intrusive suite that hosts the new discovery can be traced along a magnetic conductor identified in 2011, which runs for approximately 13 kilometres in a WSW to ENE trend. At this point, it appears that the mineralized zone remains open in all directions.

The table below outlines the initial and partial results from a 17.26 metre channel that was taken along the identified magnetic conductor on the T1 Zone at a 45? angle:

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T1 Channel 1 0 8.49 8.49 1.71 0.271 0.0347
including 0 3.62 3.62 2.07 0.31 0.04

* Reported channel cuts sections are not true widths. An apparent surface width of 15 metres can be calculated, but at this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space. The starting point of the channel cut was located at N49? 57.463′ W69? 27.045′ and cut at a 45? angle in relation with the mineralized body.

Results from a portable drill hole are also available. The hole was drilled from surface to the shallow depth of 0.52 metres at a 90? angle and the entire core was assayed. The drill hole was located at N49? 57.467′ W69? 27.046′.

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T1 Hole #1 0 0.52 0.52 1.70 0.29 0.04

Finally, results from a representative 10.2 kg sample cut from a 81.42 kg blast sample block taken 18.6 metres away to the S-E of the T1-Channel-1’s starting location was also sent to the labs. The location of that sample was at N49? 57.454′ W69? 27.045′

Weight Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Kilogram) (%) (%) (%)
Blast Sample 8749 10.2 1.68 0.301 0.0345

Additional channel and portable drill core samples are expected to be received from Agat Laboratories by the end of January and will be released as they are made available. Maps and diagrams should be available in the coming days on the new company web site.

Mr. Joel Scodnick (P.Geo.), Vice-President Exploration of the Company, is the non-independent qualified person for the technical disclosure contained in this news release. Mr. Scodnick has supervised the work programs on the Julie Project, examined the samples summarized in this release, discussed, reviewed the results with the Company’s geological staff and reviewed the available analytical and quality control results.

Channel cuts samples and drill core samples were transported in sealed bags from Baie-Comeau to a warehouse facility in Montreal. There they have been opened, washed, photographed again, logged, resealed and transported to Agat Laboratories in Dorval, Quebec. Agat Laboratories transported the samples to their analytical facilities in Mississauga, Ontario. Base metal analyses were initially obtained via ICP-AES Aqua Regia and 4 Acid digestion. The two digestion methods show good correlation. Nickel values in excess of 10,000 ppm were reanalyzed using a sodium peroxide fusion followed by ICP-AES finish.
