HPQ Achieves Major Milestone With PureVap QRR By Using Significantly Sub-Standard Feed Material To Produce High Purity Silicon Metal (99.9%+) $HPQ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:13 AM on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016

Hpq_large

  • Capable of using SiO2 feed material that does not even meet the minimal industry specification to make Ferrosilicon2 and produce Silicon Metal (Si) of greater purity than what can be achieved by traditional processes used to make Metallurgical Grade Silicon Metal (98.5% to 99.5% Si)3 today
  • Being capable of using low purity feedstock and achieving these results represents another major milestone reached on our road to transform HPQ Silicon Quartz (SiO2) into high Purity Silicon Metal (Si),” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis,

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Nov. 2, 2016) – HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGD) is pleased to inform its shareholders that it has received from PyroGenesis Canada Inc (“PyroGenesis”) a stage report1 pertaining to Silicon Metal recently produced by the PUREVAPâ„¢ QRR.

The analysis demonstrates that the PUREVAPâ„¢ QRR is capable of using SiO2 feed material that does not even meet the minimal industry specification to make Ferrosilicon2 and produce Silicon Metal (Si) of greater purity than what can be achieved by traditional processes used to make Metallurgical Grade Silicon Metal (98.5% to 99.5% Si)3 today.

“To say that we are excited with reaching this major milestone so early in the testing process is an understatement. We have always believed that we would eventually attain this critical goal, but reaching it now, using the first generation setup of the lab-scale PUREVAPâ„¢ QRR has again exceeded our expectations. This further validates our belief that a one step direct transformation of Quartz into High Purity Silicon Metal will be a disruptive process that could eventually impact the entire Silicon Metal industry,” said Bernard Tourillon, Chairman and CEO of HPQ Silicon.

Being capable of using low purity feedstock and achieving these results represents another major milestone reached on our road to transform HPQ Silicon Quartz (SiO2) into high Purity Silicon Metal (Si),” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, “and each one of the milestones reached increases the probability that the PUREVAPâ„¢ QRR One Step process will eventually become the Gold Standard process for the production of High Purity Silicon Metal.”

TEST KEY PARAMETERS

PyroGenesis’ process characterization program4 was started to fulfill the following key objectives: 1) studying the PUREVAPâ„¢ process thoroughly; 2) collect data for the design of the pilot scale unit; and 3) implement the pathway to higher purity, up to Solar Grade Silicon Metal “SGSi”.

Since it is typically easier to measure and discriminate differences in impurity levels at high concentration than at trace levels, it was decided that the best technical procedure was to use sub-standard grade quartz2 with relatively high levels of impurities to conduct the first portion of the process characterization tests.

As a result, during this phase of testing, lower purity quartz was used as feedstock compared to the approximately 99.99 SiO25 material used during phase 1 test, in order to obtain better resolution on impurity removal happening in the PUREVAPâ„¢ QRR process.

The feedstock for the experiment was a 5:1 (weight basis) mixture of Quartz lot #A16-07056 from Martinville and activated carbon #5566 provided by Asbury Carbon. Impurity levels in the resulting mixture were relatively high, with Al, Ca and Fe around 2,000 ppm, especially considering that Fe is an element that is hard to remove.

The Quartz and the Carbon were both analyzed using a combination of ICP-AES and ICP-MS by third-party laboratories. The impurity concentrations of the mixtures are obtained using a weighted average of the ones of the reagents in respect to their mass ratio (5:1).

RESULTS

Given this approach, the silicon metal produced in the second phase of testing was not expected the reach the 98.5% Si standard purity level for Metallurgical Grade Silicon Metal (MG Si), as it is generally accepted that when making Silicon Metal using traditional process, feedstock purity is crucial as it has a direct effect on the final product purity.

However, this is definitely not the case with the PUREVAPâ„¢ QRR process, as overall impurity removal efficiency of 92 % on average was reached and Si with a mean purity of 99.936 %6 was produced.

As shown in Table 3 the comparison in impurity contents between the feedstock mixture and the silicon metal product were tabulated. Really notable are the results for Fe and Ti, which are impurities that are challenging to eliminate using traditional methods.

All the impurities were massively removed except for tungsten. Also it is noteworthy that the contents of Boron (B), and Phosphorus (P) were greatly reduced in this round of testing. As previously reported, these are important elements that negatively impact on silicon metal.

6 Analyzed using Wavelength-Dispersive Spectroscopy (WDS), which can provide quantitative analyses of precise spots with a detection threshold of approximately 10 ppm (weight basis). Detection limit of the process implies that 0 reading is fact a < 10 ppm

“We are extremely pleased with the progress to date,” said Pierre Carabin, CTO of PyroGenesis. “Particularly, when one considers today’s results in light of our press release dated September 29, 2016, wherein we announced, amongst other things, that the PUREVAPâ„¢ process can remove one of the toughest impurities on the road to solar grade silicon, namely boron, from the final material produced. It seems that we are truly on to something unique.”

As shown in Table 4, from the 5 different locations analyzed on the sample, all of them were of a purity of 3N+ (99.9+ %) with a mean purity of 99.936 %4. The main contaminants were iron (Fe) and tungsten (W) with 0.021 % and 0.012 % respectively in average.

Interestingly, the concentrations were below the detection limits for 2 locations out of 5 for iron and 3 out 5 for the tungsten. It has been observed that Tungsten was measured in relatively high concentration in two locations out of five. It is too early to say if this is due to concentration during the process or if it is due to a contamination. These two avenues will be further investigated shortly.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE TEST

During phase 1 – Proof of concept test, the produced silicon was only collected at the surface of the graphite electrode. Now, during phase 2, not only is silicon produced at the surface of the electrode, but is also produced in bulk at the bottom of the crucible. The current analyses were conducted on the bulk produced at the bottom of the crucible.

The lab testing is still ongoing and the project is still on schedule for a mid-January 2017 completion. By the end of the Process Characterization phase, PyroGenesis expect to have conducted between 40 and 50 laboratory scale experiments. The data collected during the

Process Characterization phase will be used for the Pilot Scale design, which is also currently underway.

Testing Methodology:

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and Wavelength-Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (WDS) analysis were completed at the Centre de Caractérisation Microscopique des Matériaux (CM2), located at the École Polytechnique de Montréal.

American Creek Reports on Treaty Creek JV Drill Results – 338m of 0.70 g/t gold $AMK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:06 AM on Friday, October 28th, 2016
Hublogolarge2_copy
  • Hole CB-16-03 returned 0.526 g/t gold over 629.7 meters
  • Significantly, included within this wide 629.7 meter interval is 338 meters of 0.70 g/t gold
  • Also included 54 meters (from 88 to 142 meters) of 1.117 g/t gold and 122 meters (from 304 to 426 meters) of 0.965 g/t gold
American Creek Reports on Treaty Creek JV Drill Results — Wide Intersections of Gold Mineralization in CB-16-03

CARDSTON, ALBERTA–(Oct. 28, 2016) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to report that Tudor Gold Corp. (“Tudor”) has released the assays for the remainder of hole CB-16-03, a newly discovered gold zone at the Treaty Creek JV Project located in BC’s “Golden Triangle” immediately north of Seabridge Gold’s KSM project and in the same region as Pretivm’s Brucejack project.

Hole CB-16-03 returned 0.526 g/t gold over 629.7 meters. Significantly, included within this wide 629.7 meter interval is 338 meters of 0.70 g/t gold (from 88 meters to 426 meters) which included 54 meters (from 88 to 142 meters) of 1.117 g/t gold and 122 meters (from 304 to 426 meters) of 0.965 g/t gold. The drill hole terminated at 717.7 meters in mineralization with the final 13.7 meters averaging 0.315 g/t Au.

The 338 meter intersection of near surface 0.70 g/t gold in hole CB-16-03 represents the best mineralized intersection discovered to date at Treaty Creek. The hole is located approximately 870 meters northeast of drill hole CB-09-14, which returned 241 meters averaging 0.80 g/t gold.

Walter Storm, CEO and President of Tudor Gold stated: “The complete results from CB-16-03 confirm our belief that Treaty Creek holds the potential to host significant gold mineralization and validates our exploration model. To date, we have successfully hit gold mineralization down to 717 meters downhole and have encountered nearer to surface gold mineralization like the 1.12 grams gold per tonne over 54 meters starting at 88 meters downhole, which opens up the targeted area.”

Drill Hole CB-16-03 was drilled at an azimuth of 292º with an inclination of -73º and was collared approximately 550 meters northeast of the nearest of the Copper Belle zone drill holes CB-09-11 which carried 229m of 0.52 g/t gold from 40m to 270 m, CB-09-10 which carried 212m of 0.47 g/t gold from 119m to 331 m and CB-09-06 which carried 65.3m of 0.84 g/t gold. The new gold intercept encountered in CB-16-03 may represent a new mineralized zone or could possibly be an extension of the previously known Copper Belle Zone. Further work will be required in order to investigate the continuity between these areas. The casing has been left in place so the hole may be re-entered and extended if desired. All intervals are down hole widths as there is not enough information to calculate true widths of the mineralization encountered in any of the holes.

Hole CB-16-03 was drilled to test a geophysical anomaly identified on a preliminary Magnetotelluric (MT) profile along Seabridge Gold’s proposed tunnel route and further defined based on a survey carried out by Simcoe Geoscience Ltd. earlier in the season. Tudor awaits the final results of the MT survey.

Tudor previously released partial assay results from hole CB-16-03 (316 to 717.7 meters downhole), along with complete assays for drill holes CB-16-01 and CB-16-02 in Tudor’s news release dated October 11, 2016. In total, eight holes were drilled on the property for a total of 3,765 meters during the 2016 field season. Assay results are pending for the last five holes.

The Treaty Creek Project is a joint venture between Tudor, American Creek and Teuton Resources Corp. (“Teuton”). Tudor is the operator and holds a 60% interest with both American Creek and Teuton each holding respective 20% fully carried interests in the property (carried until a production notice is given).

James Hutter, P.Geo., is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the 2016 Treaty Creek Project and the results reported by Tudor.

Darren Blaney, American Creek CEO stated: “We are very excited about results from the first three 2016 holes on Treaty Creek. Collectively they’ve extended the known mineralization at Copper Belle, found a new gold zone, and extended gold intervals to depth. The first three holes are all in close proximity to the ‘discovery contact’ discussed in the 2014 Kyba/Nelson BC Geological Survey report, to the Sulphurets thrust fault, and to clastic sequencing (Turbidites) found on Treaty Creek. According to the report, these three things in combination increase the chances of ‘being in the right neighborhood of BC’s next big deposit.’ We believe the results thus far at Treaty Creek are the beginning of that discovery process.”

American Creek is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties within the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

In addition to the Treaty Creek project, the Corporation holds interests in the following “Golden Triangle” properties:

Electrum property

The Electrum property is located approximately 45 km north of Stewart between Pretivm’s Brucejack gold deposit located 25 km to the north and the past producing Premier gold mine 20 km to the south. The Electrum shares similar geology to both the Brucejack and the Premier. The project is a JV between operator Tudor (60%) and American Creek (40%).

Tudor recently concluded a diamond drilling and blast trenching program. Initial trenching results reported by Tudor on Sept 12, 2016 included silver grades up to 30,200 g/t within the New Blast vein system. Further results from the drilling and trenching are pending.

Dunwell mine

American Creek recently acquired a property package which included the historic Dunwell mine (see October 3 news release). The Dunwell mine produced 45,657 tonnes averaging 6.63 g/t gold, 223.91 g/t silver, 1.83 per cent lead, 4.01 per cent zinc and 0.056 per cent copper. Recent drilling has shown potential to develop more reserves.

The 850 hectare property is located 8km north of the town of Stewart and intersects paved Highway 37A. It is adjacent to American Creek’s Silvershot property. The principal Dunwell workings are about 2km east of the highway and are accessible by 4×4 vehicle with travel to the remaining portions of the property by foot. Due to the property being located at low elevation, exploration can take place almost year-round.

Information relating to the Corporation is available on its website at www.americancreek.com.

Nevada Energy Metals Reports Significant Lithium Results from Nevada Project $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:11 AM on Thursday, October 27th, 2016

Bff_hub-2_copy

  • Announced that highly encouraging results have been received from a sampling program designed to test for lithium values in surface soils and/or playa evaporates at the 100% owned San Emidio Desert Project
  • 172 samples were collected with Lithium values ranging from 30.3 to a high of 600 ppm (30 mg/L to 600mg/L) with a median value of 215 ppm (215mg/L). Thirty-two samples were above 300 ppm (300mg/L) and 13 were over 400 ppm (400/mg/L)

October 27, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia- Nevada Energy Metals Inc. “the Company”, TSX-V: BFF (OTCQB: SSMLF) (Frankfurt: A2AFBV) is pleased to announce that highly encouraging results have been received from a sampling program designed to test for lithium values in surface soils and/or playa evaporates at the 100% owned San Emidio Desert Project.

A total of 172 samples were collected with Lithium values ranging from 30.3 to a high of 600 ppm (30 mg/L to 600mg/L) with a median value of 215 ppm (215mg/L). Thirty-two samples were above 300 ppm (300mg/L) and 13 were over 400 ppm (400/mg/L).

Geochemical sample points were arranged on a grid pattern of seventeen east-west lines spaced 400 meters apart north-south, with stations every 200 meters along the lines. Samples were collected by a contract crew and transported to the ALS sample preparation lab in Elko, Nevada. Samples were screened to -80 mesh at the ALS prep lab in Reno, Nevada and analyzed by Aqua Regia leach mass spectrometry at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. Canada. QA/QC standards were inserted into the sample stream with one in twenty samples being a standard. All standards were within 3% of their accepted values.

About the San Emidio Desert (SED) Lithium Project:

The San Emidio Desert Project consists of 143 placer claims in total, covering about 1156 hectares (4.5 square miles) of playa and alluvial fan in the San Emidio Desert, Nevada, about 98 air-line km north-northeast of Reno, Nevada. The property is adjacent to the 9 MW Empire geothermal power generation facility of U.S. Geothermal Inc. power and a vegetable dehydration plant exploiting the active geothermal system. Gravity survey results indicate the depth of valley fill to be approximately 1,800 meters and that there is subsurface closure of the valley a short distance to the north of the claim block. The basin is fed by anomalous lithium bearing geothermal fluids interpreted to be meteoric waters heated by relatively deep circulation in the earth’s crust.

The San Emidio Desert results are comparable to those obtained at Clayton Valley, Nevada (300 – 1,100 ppm Li). Additional work is required to determine what relationship, if any, exists between Lithium values in brine concentrates and Lithium values found in surface soils and/or playa evaporates.

Importantly, these results show that dissolved lithium has been transported into this portion of the San Emidio Desert and is available for potential concentration by evaporative brines. The exploration model for the San Emidio Desert Project is a Clayton Valley evaporative brine deposit as described in USGS Open File Report 2013-1006.
