Quebec Quartz Assay Results for Martinville Surpass Expectations, Validated as Suitable for Silicon Metal and High Purity Quartz Applications

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:45 PM on Tuesday, January 13th, 2015

Montreal, Quebec / January 13, 2015 / Uragold Bay Resources Inc. (“Uragold”) (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that it’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quebec Quartz, has received assay results for samples taken on the Martinville Quartz (Silica) property located in Clifton county in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec.

The corrected SiO2 average for the 7 samples assayed is 99.63%, ranging from 99.42% to 99.82%. These results validate the fact that the quartz material from the Martinville Property would make suitable feedstock for Silicon Metal production and applications requiring high purity quartz.

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of Uragold stated, “We are extremely happy with these results. They have surpassed our initial expectations and validated our decision to focus on our Martinville property since quartz mined from the region back in the 80’s was used for silicon metal production. Furthermore, the property is situated within 100 Km from a deep-sea harbour that can handle bulk shipments for worldwide exports, less then 500 Km from the future FerroAtlantica Port Cartier Silicon Metal production facilities and less then 100 Km from Globe Specialty Metals Becancour silicon metal production facilities.”

In 1995, a geophysical survey resulted in an exploration potential estimated at over 1,000,000 tons of SiO2 using the 200 m surface length of the quartz vein, with an average width of between 2 m and 23 m and assuming a continuation up to 30 M of depth. (GM53696: Pierre Vincent, Constellar Geosciences. 1995.).

All the information on exploration potential herewithin presented is historical in nature and while relevant, the information was obtained before the implementation of National Instrument 43-101 and as such does not meet National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards. The historical estimate should not be relied upon until the Company can confirm them.

IMPORTANCE OF QUARTZ (SILICA)

Quartz (SiO2) is one of the most abundant minerals. It occurs in many different settings and in many different rock types. However, High Purity Quartz deposits with low impurities are rare and only a few deposits are suitable in volume, quality and amenability to be tailored to refining methods for specialty high purity applications.

High Purity Quartz (HPQ), and Silicon Metal is used in large part in the aluminum industry while Ultra High Purity Quartz (UHPQ) has become one of today’s key strategic minerals with applications in high-tech industries that include semiconductors, LCD displays, fused quartz tubing, microelectronics, solar silicon applications and recently, Silicon Anode Lithium Batteries.

GO FORWARD PLAN:

The Corporation intends to advance the development of the Martinville project by completing the following steps during Q1 & Q2 2015:

  1. 1.Send material to specialized laboratories to find the best beneficiation process to transform the Martinville Quartz material into Ultra High Purity Quartz for advanced material and pharmaceutical applications.

High Purity Quartz beneficiated to 99.998% Si02 can command prices up to
US$ 6,000/T (Source: Dorfner Anzaplan). The Corporation intends to focus its interest on this segment of the market.

Run of mine quartz for Silicon Metal usage commands sale prices averaging between US$ 100/T to US$ 250/T.

  1. 2.Send quartz samples to Silicon Metal and other material buyers.

The chemistry of the Martinville quartz material meets end-user requirements for Silicon Metal production. Multiple end-users that have demonstrated interest in our projects are now requesting samples for thermal tests.

  1. 3.Evaluating the Property Potential.

The exploration potential of over 1,000,000 tons of SiO2 estimated in 1995 needs to be confirmed, map and measured to 43-101 standards.

The total exploration area of the Martinville deposit is 2.42 Km2. The deposit consists of hydrothermal quartz veins encased in schist’s. In order to have a good sampling spread, 7 samples were taken at different zones of the quartz vein outcrop.

Assay results confirm that the material is low to very low in all the major contaminants: Al2O3 average: 0.18%, range from <0.04% to 0.34%, Fe2O3 average: 0.01%, range from 0.01% to 0.03%, Co3O4 all samples <0.005%, CuO all samples <0.005%, MnO all samples <0.001%, NiO 6 samples <0.003%, one sample 0.008%, MgO all samples <0.01%, CaO 18 samples <0.01%, Na2O all samples <0.01%, K2O 5 samples <0.01%, the other 0.01% and 0.02%, TiO2 6 samples <0.01%, the other 0.01%, P2O5 average: 0.01%, range from 0.01% to 0.02%, Cr2O3 all samples <0.01%, V2O5 all samples <0.003%.

The material was first sent to the INRS (Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique) laboratory in Quebec City to be prepared for testing for Silica values. 7 prepared samples were sent to the Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario for whole rock and trace elements assay (FUS X-Ray Fluorescence (“XRF”)).

The average loss in ignition (“LOI”) (material and moisture burned off during the assays) for the 7 samples is 0.14% (ranging between 0.11% and 0.19%). This suggest that a certain percentage of the alkali metals are present as a carbonate molecule, and with an average laboratory total of 99.36% (ranging between 98.53 % and 100.5%), a correction for the loss of carbonate is required in order to present the actual SiO2 grade of the samples.

Liberty Star’s Porphyry Copper-Gold-Moly Hay Mountain Project: 2014 Summary of Activity & 2015 Management Discussion

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:38 AM on Monday, January 12th, 2015

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (“Liberty Star” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: LBSR) is pleased to update shareholders and interested parties regarding the Company’s 2014 activities, including progress toward obtaining approval of its Plan of Operation for the Hay Mountain Project (“Hay Mountain”) in southeast Arizona’s Cochise County within the historic Tombstone mining district. More topics of discussion include CEO/Chief Geologist James A. Briscoe’s travel plans for the 1st quarter of 2015 to the Middle East, Hong Kong and Manila to secure funding for Phase 1 exploratory drilling at Hay Mountain and other more long range planning.

The Last 12 Months:

1.

Planning and Geoscientific Interpretation:

This period was primarily occupied with planning and permitting of Hay Mountain. This included conceptualizing and creating a plan for an aggressive drill program which would result in a strongly compressed time line to test and drill out what our evidence suggests is a large porphyry copper-moly precious metal system with a footprint large enough to contain a very large mineral body. Our goals are to drill out this body within a span of 4 years and to bring it into production within 7 years of the start of drilling. This is a very tall order, because the average time to bring an orebody into production now in the USA is 15 years. We have brought to bear a lot of computerized data gathering that we have used in other projects in order to reduce time to a minimum and lower costs. We refined this detailed computerized exploration plan and created a budget, using Microsoft Project® including 5,000 line items (resources) are scheduled and costed on a simple but effective computer Gantt Chart, that will allow us to keep track on a daily basis of projected cost vs actual cost and predict daily time- to- completion of our objectives would be as the project progresses. Many operations, permitting procedures and community outreach will proceed simultaneously with the exploration and mine development procedures. The reason for this attention to timing was the result of information gleaned from our visit to India and later China. In consultation with industry-leading drilling experts, and other specialists including our permanent staff and Technical Board of Advisors, it has resulted in one of the most innovative plans using various time and expense saving procedures throughout the exploration program that have resulted in a very low “all-in” cost per foot of drilling. We believe we can meet these timing expectations.
2.

Permitting
a.

Approval by the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD) of the Company’s Plan of Operation (the “Plan”) is required to conduct exploratory drilling at the first Hay Mountain target, which is located primarily on State Land. The Plan of Operation was submitted to the ASLD in August with a proposed period of operation of one year beginning September 29, 2014 (NR 187). Liberty Star has so far answered all questions and comments from the ASLD and expects final acceptance of its Plan within the next 20 to 60 days or so (given expected delays around the holiday season). Upon approval, Liberty Star’s drilling contractor will obtain drilling permits from the Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) which takes very little time to process. Once those permits are in hand, and appropriate funding is in place, Phase 1 drilling can begin at Hay Mountain.
b.

Approval by the US Bureau of Land Management (BLM) we also need drilling permits on the relatively small amount of Federal Lode Mining Claims making up some of our land package. These permits are not as time-critical as the ASLD permits, but it is our objective to obtain these in the first quarter, 2015.
3.

Altered and Mineralized Outcrops Discovered The only geologic map of sufficient detail covering the Hay Mountain area published in 1956 (James Gilluly, General Geology of central Cochise County, AZ, USGS Professional Paper 281, 169 pages) was prepared during the late 1930s and 40s appears to be of excellent quality considering its small scale. However, more detailed surface mapping in concert with new very high resolution natural color space imagery reveal previously unmapped outcrops with occasional specks of green copper oxide, and suspected black copper oxide, along with silica and carbonate veining similar to that adjacent to the Copper Queen Mine in limestones at Bisbee about 15 miles to the south. This recognition is important, and we believe with further work it will be expanded to reveal more outcrop. This suggests the following:
a.

The depth to mineralization may be much shallower at least in some areas than had been previously supposed; giving strength to the possibility that a mineral body amenable to open pit mining at relatively shallow depth may be present.
b.

The presence of oxide copper at the surface suggests there may be a near surface mineral body of oxide copper that could be recovered by heap leaching or in situ leaching, either one or both recovered by solvent extraction – electrowinning. This method of copper or gold /silver mining where the metallurgy is optimum, is the least costly to perform and requires minimal plant infrastructure and hence lower capital requirements for startup. Several such projects nearby either have been in production, are in production or are in testing and feasibility for production. These include:

• Bisbee – Copper and uranium – past

• Bisbee – the Cochise ore body – future

• Tombstone – silver and gold – past

• Safford – copper – production now

• Rosemont – copper – under consideration

• Johnson Camp, Texas Canyon, AZ –open pit heap leach copper -dormant

• I-10, Gunnison Hills, Excelsior, Texas Canyon, AZ -copper – in situ- in pre-feasibility studies.

Discovery of such a leachable ore body, similar those enumerated above, could result in a very fast tracked production facility producing wire grade copper which would be marketed as (or before) it was produced, creating an almost immediate positive cash flow from this production
c. Drilling would continue to define:
i. An expected sulfide enrichment mineral body or skarn limestone hosted body or both which might be mined by open pit: examples – Bisbee, Silverbell & Mission-Pima, Arizona, USA
ii. A deep seated high volume underground mineral body that would be mined via shafts, and appropriate underground methods examples – Bingham Canyon, Utah, USA, Grasberg, Papua Province, New Guinea
d.

If such mineral bodies as in a, b and c, above were to be defined and if they were to be projected by standard engineering studies to be profitable, by standard mining methods, mine and mill construction would be undertaken and large scale production would ensue.
e. Such developments as noted in a, b, and c above would be preceded by Bankable Feasibility Studies and funding could then become available through bank consortia or other typical sources.
4.

New Targets Identified in the Last Two Months Over the last two months, additional redrafting, clarification and reinterpretation of the geoscientific data over the Hay Mountain area now defined as the “Area of Mutual Interest (AMI)” covering approximately 42 sq. miles (109 sq. km), and including previously identified anomalies, have been undertaken. Other anomalies of potential importance have been identified. This is not a reprocessing of the metadata received from the Geotech ZTEM metadata, or their Professional scientific interpretation of that data in their Professional Report on the survey, but simply a clarification and reinterpretation based on that clarification.
a.

These targets will be incorporated into an updated business plan that is currently being drafted with the intent of making future proposals more financially rewarding, and thus more attractive to venture partners.
b. When these plans are finalized and vetted by specialists, they will be incorporated into our proposals for funding.
5.

ASLD Permits In addition to approval of its Plan by the ASLD, Liberty Star needs to fund Phase 1’s newly planned expenditure of $9 million that will incorporate proportional funding for preliminary exploration of the additional targets mentioned in 4, above.
6.

Recent Tours of the Hay Mountain Project There are increasingly more parties interested in the Hay Mountain Project. Mr. Briscoe and our arm’s length skarn porphyry copper expert consultant have conducted several tours of the Hay Mountain Project area and other sites of importance to the understanding of Hay Mountain, in southeast Arizona, with potential funders. These other sites of importance draw a close comparison to existing porphyry copper deposits with Hay Mountain.
7.

We expect to conduct as many as two more of these site visits and accompanying tours before traveling to the Middle East, Hong Kong and Manila, (Philippines) as previously announced in September (NR 188) and in this update. Naru Capital – naseba (“Naru”) will sponsor a Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Dubai) roadshow specifically designed to match Liberty Star’s funding expectations with the appropriate pool of prequalified potential funders. Their plan is to continue the roadshow in Hong Kong. Briscoe then intends to visit Manila, Philippines in response to specific expressions of interest from potential investors in that mining country; a representative of the group (a mining engineer and large Liberty Star share holder) has taken a field trip to the Hay Mountain Project area recently, with positive response. Briscoe’s travel is scheduled to begin the third week of February, 2015.

Comments Mr. Briscoe:

“Season’s Greetings to Liberty Star shareholders and supporters. As we face a new year it is time that I reaffirm Liberty Star’s goal to commence drilling at Hay Mountain and define an economic body of mineralization there. From surface studies and a deep understanding of the area, we have concluded that we may expect a very large, near surface porphyry copper mineral body, extending to great depth. This conclusion must be proved through exploration drilling. I expect that drilling in 2015 will confirm our geoscientific data. It has been frustrating that we could not move to the drilling phase this year, but the slow process of permitting State land, and the difficult state of the economy as a whole and the mining industry in particular cannot be denied. I am routinely asked why we have been unable to obtain funding for Hay Mountain since the indicators for success are so strong. The answer is long and complex. Those of you that follow mineral exploration and mining know the severe state of the industry due to the downturn in the minerals Super Cycle, which finds industry giants such as Freeport McMoRan and BHP Billiton and many others trading significantly down over last year. Despite this current downturn for us in mining, several current economic studies suggest the Super Cycle may be setting up for a resurgence, though it is much more complex with the entrance of China and other new consuming and producing countries versus earlier periods when it was driven primarily by North America and Europe (including the U.K. and Australia). Computer reduction of these complexities show it is, in fact, alive and well and is moving forward to another increase in time for us to profit from our efforts (from Keynote luncheon address SME Yearly meeting 12-08-2014 by Raymond Goldie, Salman Bros.). I believe we can turn the corner and prosper as metal prices are bound to rise substantially with this projected resurgence. I, and many others industry-wide, believe the long term demand is there and several studies show the World will need more copper in the next 25 years than in all the history of mankind. The task at hand is to find appropriately risk-tolerant investors that are seeking to enter a market that is at its bottom and willing to stay for a rise that will be several years in the making but just in time for our potential production. I will continue to work with the experts at naseba/Naru to help us find such investors with sufficient financial wherewithal, but I am open to hearing from any credible alternative funding sources for Phase 1, in combination with or independently of others. I believe that our Phase 1 investors will be rewarded greatly for the investment they make in funding our Hay Mountain Project.”

Management discussion – Expectations, First Quarter 2015

1. Director Brett Gross will be working to improve the Company’s structure to enhance long term stability and attractiveness to all prospective investors. This will include, in addition to other things, a succession plan for critical and key employees. A corporation, as an entity with a legally perpetual life, dictates such succession planning to assure long term company strength, stability and sustainability. While there are no current concerns of any critical or key employee becoming unable to perform his or her duties, prudent corporate policy demands planning for the duration of the corporation’s existence. This includes succession planning for positions essential to seamless corporate continuity.
2. It is also our objective to move our existing projects forward including Walnut Creek and others in the Tombstone area, North Pipes, and other opportunities which have come and continue coming to our attention. Some of these are smaller (than Hay Mountain) and include precious as well as base metals. My trips to India, China, and the Middle East suggest there is also a strong interest in these types of more moderately sized projects as well as mega projects like Hay Mountain.

During 2015

We hope to achieve several milestones following return from my trip to the Middle East, Hong Kong and the Philippines, including:

1. Having funding in place to start Phase 1 drilling on the main Hay Mountain target in the second half, 2015
2. In the second quarter, have detailed geoscientific work on our other AMI targets well underway and subsequent drilling programs well into the planning – permitting stages
3. Placing additional funding for the new AMI targets
4. By mid-fourth quarter, 2015, being well underway with and increasingly successfully intersecting strong mineralization in Hay Mountain Target 1, Phase 1, and beginning Target 1, Phase 2 funding draw-down and the associated three-year drilling effort.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this news release that are not historical are forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news release include all our planned drilling program and our planned route to access partners or funding sources, including without limitation our plan to commence drilling at Hay Mountain and define an economic body of mineralization there; that we can drill out the project within a span of 4 years and to bring it into production within 7 years of the start of drilling; that discovery of such a leachable ore body, similar those enumerated above, could result in a very fast tracked production facility producing wire grade copper which would be marketed; that we expect final acceptance of our plan of operation within the next 20 to 60 days; that BLM permits will be granted in the first quarter 2015; that metal prices will rebound; and that Mr. Briscoe’s travels will result in a potential partner for our projects . Factors which may delay or prevent these forward-looking statements from being realized include: the failure of our proposals to be accepted; we may not attract any partners or funding sources; we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to complete our intended exploration, keep our properties or carry on operations; and we may encounter an inability to continue exploration due to weather, logistical problems, labor or equipment problems or hazards even if funds are available. Even if we find a partner, we may not be able to reach agreement or carry out the development program as contemplated. Despite encouraging data there may be no commercially exploitable mineralization on our properties. Readers should refer to the risk disclosures in the Company’s recent 10-K and the Company’s other periodic reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

St-Georges to Focus on Julie Nickel Discovery; Withdrawal of Zambian Interest

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:29 PM on Friday, January 9th, 2015

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 9, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) today announces its intention to terminate all efforts to acquire and develop projects in Zambia. The company had previously signed an agreement in February 2014 in order to acquire two sizeable Copper-Cobalt projects in Zambia. The difficulty to finalize a proper due diligence had forced the company to put these negotiations on hold in the summer of 2014. The Company had mentioned that it was entertaining the acquisition of another project in Zambia at that point without giving more details. The management of St-Georges has taken the strategic decision to focus all its attention to the new Nickel discovery at its wholly owned Julie Nickel Project.

FINANCIAL SITUATION & OTHER CORPORATE MATTERS

As of December 31, 2014 the Company had 34,504,463 shares issued and outstanding. It also had 1,182,692 outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $0.27 per share and, $230,000 of Convertible Debentures carrying an annual 6% cumulative interest rate expiring July 2, 2023. These Debentures are convertible at any time at a price related to average market prices subject to a minimum conversion rate of $0.10 per share. There are currently no outstanding warrants.

Internal, unaudited financial statements of the Company to December 31, 2014 show Net Assets of $1,512,249. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in these unaudited financial statements at December 31, 2014 amounted to $557,340 and included an amount of $285,888 payable to Directors, Officers and Executives of St-Georges and $191,208.27 that are optional liabilities that the Company is currently reviewing.

JULIE NICKEL DISCOVERY

Results from Agat Laboratories are expected in the coming days from the latest surface campaign conducted on the Julie Nickel Project. Last week St-Georges published the initial results from the latest campaign. The table below constitute a recapitulation of these results already published in a press release on December 29, 2014:

Results Summary

A surface mineralized zone of 70 by 56 meters referred to as “T1” has been identified. All initial results below come from this zone. The ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery can be traced in the geophysic data obtain by St-Georges in 2011 for approximately 13 kilometres on a WSW to NE trend. At this point it appears that the mineralized zone remains open in all directions.

The table below outline the initial and partial results from a 17.26 meters channel cut executed along the identified conductor on the T1 zone at a 45º 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

CLIENT FEATURE: Robix (RZX: CSE) Revolutionary Oil Spill Clean Up Technology

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:43 PM on Thursday, January 8th, 2015

RZX: CSE

  • The COV’s rapid recovery rate and large on-board storage result in low per barrel recovery cost.
  • The COV’s simple design minimizes down time for repair and maintenance.
  • A two-man crew can be easily trained and the COV vessel can operate long hours without interruption
  • Goal to be selling COV products in the first half of 2015

Design Versatility

  • COV’S can be scaled to meet various application requirements (sizes range from 10 Ft., 20 Ft., 40 Ft., 80 Ft., 100 Ft. (references to length of vessel
  • A standard 40-foot COV is 40 feet in length, 26 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth
  • Recently completed the engineering drawings for the Clean Ocean Vessel (COV) and ordered critical components to initiate construction on the COV

Recent Highlights

  • Signed an exclusive manufacturing agreement with Rayco Steel Ltd, to manufacture the Clean Ocean Vessel
  • Based on market analysis Robix has decided to commence construction of a 10ft COV
  • Creating a new business division, through a subsidiary entity, to enter into the marine industry.

How the COV compares to the competition:

  • Rates of oil recovered and recovery-throughput efficiencies are noted as “oil rate of recovery” (ORR) and “recovery efficiency” (RE).
  • The water surface lifting force generated by the COV’s patented contra-rotating drums acts in a suction or pumping manner that increases the ORR compared to conventional skimmer systems and the RE of the COV is in the 90-97% range. This is competitive with best in class 21st century technology in terms of ORR and RE.
  • Further improvements to the ORR (in terms of gallons per minute) could easily catapult the COV to “top three” status, by increasing the surface area of the drums through design modifications without impairing the stability of the vessel which is inherent to the COV design.
  • When our competitors’ skimmer systems meet waves above 18 inches, they are forced to suspend service. The COV operates in rough sea conditions (as high as 8 feet waves), significantly out-performing its competitors, and stands in a class of its own.

Quebec Quartz Montpetit Quarry Assay Results, Validated as Suitable for High Purity Ferrosilicon and High Purity Quartz Applications

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:28 PM on Thursday, January 8th, 2015

Montreal, Quebec /January 8, 2015 / Uragold Bay Resources Inc. (“Uragold”) (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that it’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quebec Quartz, has received assay results for samples taken on the Montpetit Quarry quartz (silica) property located in the Monteregie Region of Quebec, some 40 km south of Montreal and 7 km south of Saint-Clotilde-de-Chateauguay

The corrected SiO2 average for 9 of the 10 samples assayed is 99.46 %, ranging from 99.16% to 99.67%. The corrected SiO2 average for the 10 samples assayed is 99.13%, ranging from 96.21% to 99.67%. These results validate the fact that a significant portion of the Quartz material from the Montpetit Property would make suitable feedstock for High Purity Ferrosilicon, and could be amenable to be beneficiated to Silicon Metal purity requirement and even high purity quartz sands.

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of Uragold stated, “We are extremely happy with these results, just like our Roncevaux property, it shows that the Montpetit Quarry has great potential.” Mr. Levasseur added, “2015 will be an exciting year as we continue to develop Quebec Quartz’s exciting high purity silica projects while developing two gold mines in the Beauce region of Quebec.”

IMPORTANCE OF QUARTZ (SILICA)

Quartz (SiO2) is one of the most abundant minerals. It occurs in many different settings and in many different rock types. However, High Purity Quartz deposits with low impurities are rare and only a few deposits are suitable in volume, quality and amenability to be tailored to refining methods for specialty high purity applications.

High Purity Quartz (HPQ), and Silicon Metal is used in large part in the aluminum industry while Ultra High Purity Quartz (UHPQ) has become one of today’s key strategic minerals with applications in high-tech industries that include semiconductors, LCD displays, fused quartz tubing, microelectronics, solar silicon applications and recently, Silicon Anode Lithium Batteries.

GO FORWARD PLAN:

The Corporation intends to advance the development of the Montpetit project by completing the following steps during Q1 & Q2 2015:

  1. 1.Send material to specialized laboratories to find the best beneficiation process to transform the Montpetit Quartz material into Silicon Metal grade material and further test to see if the material could be purified to the Ultra High Purity Quartz specifications needed for advanced material and pharmaceutical applications.

High Purity Quartz beneficiated to 99.998% Si02 can command prices up to
US$ 6,000/T (Source: Dorfner Anzaplan). The Corporation intends to focus its interest on this segment of the market.

Run of mine quartz for usage as Ferrosilicon commands sale price averages between US$ 50/T to US$100/T; while run of mine quartz for Silicon Metal commands sale prices averaging between US$ 100/T to US$ 250/T.

  1. 2.Evaluating the Property Potential.

The exact volume of the quartzite body found on the Montpetit Property needs to be confirmed and measured. Furthermore, the grade distribution needs to be better understood. Of significance will be identifying, the controls that could explain the one-outlier result found in the assay results.

Average 99.05 0.38 0.06 0.19 99.92 99.13%

The total exploration area of the Montpetit deposit is 2.42 Km2, while the old quarry is 100 m long by 35 m large and is inside a tabular quartzite. The deposit is composed of consolidated beach sand that diagenesis has transformed into a quartzite. In order to have a good sampling spread, 5 samples were taken at different zones of the quartzite deposit. Each quartzite layer along the stratigraphy has been sampled.

In 1956, 3,000 tons of quartzite averaging 99.27% SiO2 was mined from the Montpetit Quarry and used to produce ferrosilicon (Source: Resources Naturelles du Quebec, Sigeom 2014, Work Reports GM03695).

The material was first sent to the INRS (Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique) laboratory in Quebec City to be prepared for testing for Silica values. 10 prepared samples (an original and a duplicate) were sent to the Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario for whole rock and trace elements assay (FUS X-Ray Fluorescence (“XRF”)).

The average losses in ignition (“LOI”) (material and moisture burned off during the assays) for the 10 samples is 0.19% (ranging between 0.13% and 0.36%) this suggest that a certain percentage of the alkali metals are present as a carbonate molecule, and with an average laboratory total of 99.92% (ranging between 98.80 % and 100.6%), a correction for the loss of carbonate is required in order to present the actual SiO2 grade of the samples.

Gupta: ‘I am doubling down’ on medical marijuana


Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Cheif Medical Correspondent. We have no affiliation with this well known medical expert, but his latest “Doubling Down” on the medical marijuana sector is worthy of your attention. Reasons such as these convince us we are doing the right thing in entering this market.

Medical marijuana and ‘the entourage effect’

Today, most Americans and most Canadians support some form of medical use of marijuana, in poll after poll.

Likewise, the legal marijuana industry is and will be heavily regulated, and we support that. We’ve already proven our ability to be transparent with our stakeholders and our ability to work within all applicable government regulations. We promise to deliver that transparency and dedication to the legal marijuana industry where these traits are a vital component towards ultimate success.


The medical marijuana business just might be one of the most recession-proof industry sectors there are. There is no boom and bust cycle that is apparent. The average demographic age in North America continues to increase, with over 44 million people in the USA today at the age of 65 or over. Age-related illnesses will continue to grow, and some fraction of these people looking for an alternative to opiate-based painkillers have a real need for pain-relief choices.
