Pacific Potash Corp and Capitalasia Investment Holdings Group Sign M.O.U for Potash Off-Take Agreement

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 19th, 2013 – Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX-V: PP; OTCQX: PPOTF; FSE: P9P, “Pacific Potash”, “the Company”) and CapitalAsia Investment Holdings Group (“CapitalAsia Group”) are pleased to announce  the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (“Memorandum”).  The Memorandum sets out the initial terms and conditions for entering into a formal off-take agreement at such time as Pacific Potash’s Amazonas Potash Property goes into commercial production.

It has been agreed in the Memorandum that if the Amazonas Potash Property is developed into a mine, the parties will enter into a formal off-take agreement pursuant to which Pacific Potash will sell and CapitalAsia Group or a purchaser designated by it will buy up to 1 million tones of potash per year produced from the Amazonas Property at the future world market price for potash.  The off-take agreement will be for the lesser of 20 years or the life of the mine.

Mr. Balbir Johal, Executive Co-Chairman and Director of Pacific Potash stated “This Memorandum of Understanding confirms we have a ready market for any future potash sales from our Amazonas Potash Project in Brazil, and strengthens the ties between our Company and CapitalAsia Group. Both parties believe in the future desirability of developing domestic sources of fertilizer products for the growing Brazilian market as well as, the potential to export a percentage of production to China.  With respect to potash, Brazil imported 7.5 million tones of potash in 2012 accounting for 93% of Brazilian consumption. This agreement symbolizes both parties commitment to fully develop the Amazonas Potash Property as quickly as possible. We are now positioned to have strong funding and support from our strategic partners to find, develop and sell potash.”

CapitalAsia Group commented “China ranks first in the global grain production with the largest population in the world. The improving living standards in the next decades will lead to a higher demand for grain production. The demand for potash will increase dramatically with potash being the basic raw material in agriculture. This agreement of 1 million tones will provide important guarantee for the huge future demand. It also represents a long-term, mutually beneficial strategic partnership between CapitalAsia and Pacific Potash. We are looking forward to working with Pacific Potash to bring the Amazon Potash Project through the various stages of exploration and development.”

FEATURE: Santo Mining (SANP:OTCQB) To Become Mexico’s Next Gold and Silver Producer

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:23 PM on Tuesday, June 18th, 2013

                                           

                                                                                          SANP: OTCBB

THREE REASONS WHY SANTO MINING?

  1. Three claims next to Barrick Gold in the mineral rich Dominican Republic
  2. Charles claim 1 mile from Goldquest’s 2012 monster gold discovery
  3. Company to start producing gold and silver in Mexico
NEW GOLD AND SILVER MINING DEAL ANNOUNCED IN MEXICO
  • Entered into a definitive long-term license agreement to develop and mine its three metallic concessions located at Ocampo, Coahuila, Mexico
  • Inferred resource tonneage: 3M mt at 3.17 g/t gold and 57.3 g/t silver
  • Inferred resource ounces: 306K oz gold and 5.5 M oz silver
  • Open-pit mining with truck access to highway
  • Impressive grades up to 8.581 g/t Gold and 148.1 g/t Silver
  • Most entitlements are in place including the environmental permit.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC OPERATIONS

To give a sense of the scale of the opportunity, consider the following:

  • Pueblo Viejo gold-silver deposit (Barrick/ Goldcorp JV), estimated to contain 23.7 million ounces of gold. There has been documented mining activity here going back to the Spaniards in 1505. Sulphide mining operations here produce more than 450 ounces of gold and 1,800 ounces of silver every day.
  • Falcondo ferronickel mine, which can produce 29,000 tons of nickel each year.
  • Perilya’s Cerro de Maimón copper-gold mine, which constitutes a 6 million ton open-pit copper/gold reserve.

$16 Million Equity Enhancement Program Underway

  • Program allows, but does not obligate, the Company to issue and sell up to $16 million of shares of common stock to the Investor Hanover Holdings NY from time to time over the 36-month period

Charles Claim

This highly prospective claim is located above San Juan in western Dominican Republic and planted in the heart of the mineral rich “Tireo Formation.”

  • Charles Claim borders Goldquest’s renowned La Escandalosa claim where in 2012 three bonanza drill intercepts were reported as being the largest gold discovery in the Dominican Republic in 20 years.
  • The Company continues its positive growth, adding yet another quality claim to its portfolio of exploration concession applications and its focus on near-term gold production opportunities.
  • Santo Mining finalizing due diligence on remaining four claims that immediately wrap around Goldquest.
  • Exploration team yielded a series of results up to 10.79 g/t Silver and +1.0% Copper


Richard Claim

The company recently announced that it has signed a definite agreement to acquire 100% of the Richard gold exploration application.

  • located just 200 meters southeast of Barrick gold in the mineral-rich “Los Ranchos” geological formation of the Hispaniola Gold-Copper Back-Arc.
  • This definitive agreement is part of the Company’s aggressive expansion of its portfolio of precious and base metal exploration concession applications assets in its quest for near-term production opportunities.
  • Shallow Diamond Core Drilling Targets to sample the underlying bed rock awaiting permitting

During the last five months Santo Mining’s field exploration team led by Elpidio Moronta conducted due diligence on the Richard Claim consisting of property wide reconnaissance surveys, including stream sediment sampling and surface soil geochemistry. Early in 2013 the exploration team sent soil, sediment and rock samples to Acme Laboratories for multi-element trace analysis. The laboratory results have potentially identified two zones of gold, silver, and copper anomalies. The principal gold zone is located in the northwest quadrant of the Richard Claim, approximately 500 meters east of Barrick Gold’s Pueblo Viejo boundary. The exploration team is currently in the field conducting a “detailed” surface soil geochemistry survey and rock sampling to better define a series of shallow drill targets.

UC Resources Discovers Additional Gold & Silver Veins at Xora *Sponsor*

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:45 PM on Thursday, June 6th, 2013

  • Bx Vein which is at least 1.8 meters in width, returning up to 2 g/t in Au (gold) and up to 600 g/t in Ag (silver)

  • The Coral Vein Structure occurs in what is considered the south part of the property, immediately after the regional E-W Lyon Fault

  • Four samples were collected across the vein structure, 2 of them with decent numbers: 5-7 g/t in Au and around 80 g/t in Ag

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – June 6, 2013) – UC Resources Ltd. (“UC” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:UC) is pleased to announce that it has discovered an additional two major Silver Vein structures within the XORA Concession adjacent to the Company La Yesca Mill site.

The Company’s Geologist, Gerardo Tarin, reports:

The Larissa Vein structure, is adjacent to fault N5ºW. This fault consists of heavy gouge material/shearing, with abundant clay accompanied by calcium carbonate plus minor silica – white and brown colored, moderately obliterated after oxidation. No significant numbers come from the fault structure itself, but values are seen in the adjacent Bx Vein which is at least 1.8 meters in width, returning up to 2 g/t in Au (gold) and up to 600 g/t in Ag (silver). This manifestation is located in section 1175, with the quartz networks appearing to drifting in a N60ºW direction with respect to the general strike of regional fault in the area. This zone is adjacent to sample 69384 and we have a new sample No. 69406 over 1.5 meters width. This sample runs 0.51 g/t in Au and 220 g/t in Ag. This gives us approx 3.3 meters of mineralized vein running up to 400 g/t in Ag and nearly 1.5 g/t in Au. This area is strongly recommended for further exploration.

Approximately 143 meters eastward in the same section, we have another manifestation of anomalous gold and up to 600 g/t in Ag (1 meter wide). As a result, there is good potential traced from the new Larissa Zone over to the Mirador Zone. A drill pad has been set up on the steep area adjacent to the Larissa Zone with the intention of drilling one or more holes to test this zone further.

The Mirador system also includes an impressive matrix supported breccia, adjacent to an andesitic dike, which is evident in over 100 meters in strike length, in a direction nearly N-S. This breccia did not return significant values, but returned anomalous gold such as 0.3 g/t Au in 3 locations.

Cuatas III is an intersection of structures striking N20ºE and N30ºW, located 90 meters westward from the Cuatas system. It is a small mineral occurrence, 3-4 meters in length and 1.5 meters wide. Sample No.69400 was taken over a width of 1.5 meters and returned a value of 123 g/t in Ag. Sample No. 69401 is a dump sample, returning random values between 0.232 g/t in Au and 242 g/t in Ag. This structure has the same strike and dip as the Cuatas I Vein.

The Coral Vein Structure occurs in what is considered the south part of the property, immediately after the regional E-W Lyon Fault. This vein drifts at N20ºE with respect to the predominant N-S structural control, and appears to be at least a 4 meter in width. Part of the footwall remains covered due to its dipping into the hillside.

Four samples were collected across the vein structure, 2 of them with decent numbers: 5-7 g/t in Au and around 80 g/t in Ag. Sample No.69377 is 1.30 meters in width and found in the footwall. Values were returned with 5.83 g/t in Au, 81.8 in Ag and an adjacent sample No. 69380 had the same width with 6.58 g/t in Au, 79 in Ag. This old work seems to have vertical development but is apparently covered and slumped in, after the extraction of mineral and vein materials were done in the past. Some more channel sampling is recommended along the fault in the vicinity of former Coral mine. We have made arrangements with the land owners to build a road on this side of the property, so we can drill test this are as well as second priority targets such as the Manguito, the Waterfall, and the Crucificado occurrences to south.

The Cuba Vein Structure is developed in highly argillized rock, amygdaloidal in composition, has a waxy material in open spaces but anomalous gold is scarce in the andesite outcrops around the Cuba vein. The Rita vein occurs approx. 70 meters west of the Waterfall I, in a N-S structure, 1.8 meters in width and perpendicular to an andesite dike of 4.20 meters width. No significant values were returned from sampling in this area as yet.

The Guacamaya Structure is approximately 130 meters west of the Rita structure – this is an E-W structure consistent with an andesite dike but has had no significant numbers in gold or silver as yet, but had a few anomalous gold results.

Between Cuatas and Mirador systems, some structures ranging from 1-1.5 meters in width. These are known as the Dominick 1, and Anita 1. We are awaiting results from sampling in this area.

The Xora deposit is an undeveloped epithermal system of narrow veins which occurs along 700 meters of strike length. Mapped and named as the Cuatas to Mirador-Colorada Systems with multiple en echelon sub parallel vein systems they are consistent and likely tied into the regional N-S fracturing transecting the region and occur as multiple mineral occurrences.

In Regional scale, we have mineralization hosted in both N-S and E-W fault structures. One example of this mineralization in an E-W system is the Leona Vein. Cuatas, Mirador and Colorada are hosted in N-S cross-cutting systems. Which is the more pervasive or controlling of the mineralizing fluids, we are yet to determine.

The above report from Gerardo Tarin supports the Companies’ plans to exploit XORA to ensure long term mill operation at La Yesca.

The assays were completed by accredited ALS Chemex Laboratories of Vancouver.

John Archibald, PGeo, a qualified person pursuant to NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release on behalf of the company.

The Company continues to evaluate its Commercial Production status. The Company believes it has adequate financial resources at this time, to not dilute shareholders and to reach its objectives.

“We believe our plans for Commercial production status and associated timing could possibly align with a positive price rebound for gold and silver” commented Gary Monaghan, CEO. “Everyone in the industry knows the difficulty in these times and production for us will be the key to our long term success in the future.”

The Company is carefully tracking gold and silver market pricing as these shifting trends affect the overall level of Company profitability.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Gary Monaghan, Chief Executive Officer

National Graphite Signs Strategic Alliance With American Graphene LLC

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:16 AM on Monday, June 3rd, 2013

LAS VEGAS, June 3, 2013  – National Graphite Corp. (OTCQB: NGRC) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an agreement with American Graphene LLC where National Graphite Corp, and American Graphene LLC will explore joint business opportunities in the fast growing graphene market. Graphene’s remarkable properties, including high conductivity, mechanical strength and high specific surface area make it an ideal material for electrochemical devices used in clean energy applications.

National Graphite Corp has supplied high grade graphite samples from the company’s 100% owned Chedic Graphite mine near Carson City Nevada to the laboratory facilities of American Graphene LLC near Phoenix Arizona. Through a sonication process the graphite ore from the Chedic mine has been reduced to a nano material that has subsequently been sent to a metallurgical facility to determine the grade and commercial viability of the graphene product. The sonication process was observed by an independent geologist, designated as a Qualified Person. The two companies will explore an exclusive supply agreement where NGRC will supply high grade graphite to American Graphene, cost effective and scaleable processing facilities and commercially viable markets for the graphene product.

Graphene is a newly discovered formation of carbon atoms which makes a material 200 times stronger than steel, a super-conductor at room temperature, flexible and heat resistant. There are over 7000 patents filed relating to graphene. Currently, the price of graphene ranges from $100 per gram to $1000 per gram. The Company believes it can mine, refine and convert our high purity graphite to graphene with a target cost of approximately $10 per gram.

National Graphite Corp. currently holds the rights to the Chedic Voltaire, past producing, graphite mine in NW Nevada near Carson City,

NGRC plans to advance the project through the exploration and development stages.
