  • Announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Matachewan First Nation of Matachewan, Ontario and the Mattagami First Nation of Gogama, Ontario
  • Regarding the Montrose Property
  • MOU will serve as a framework to govern the relationship between Explor and the First Nations in accordance with their intention of further building a relationship

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC–(Sept. 29, 2017) – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or the “Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQB:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Matachewan First Nation of Matachewan, Ontario and the Mattagami First Nation of Gogama, Ontario (the “First Nations”), with respect to the Montrose Property.

The MOU will serve as a framework to govern the relationship between Explor and the First Nations in accordance with their intention of further building a relationship characterized by cooperation and mutual respect, in connection with the development of the Montrose Property. This represents an important milestone in moving the project forward and we welcome our new partners.

The MOU sets out the areas in which Explor and the First Nations have agreed to work together notably on mutual key interests such as environmental protection, employment and business opportunities, education and training for the First Nations communities.

Chris Dupont, President and CEO of Explor Resources, stated that “Explor is committed to working in partnership with the First Nations in the development of the Montrose Property. Explor looks forward to building a strong relationship with the First Nations that will be beneficial to both parties.”

In order to instill a relationship with the First Nations, Explor will issue 500,000 common shares to both the Matachewan and the Mattagami First Nations. This issuance of equity enables the Matachewan and the Mattagami First Nations to become shareholders and participate in the success of Explor Resources as Explor moves the Montrose Project to the next phase in the development of the property. This issuance of shares is subject to the approval of the regulatory authorities.

The Montrose property consists of 20 mining claims (217 units) located in the Montrose and Midlothian Townships in the Timmins-Porcupine Mining Camp for a total of approximately 3,472 hectares.

The Montrose property is contiguous to the North and East of the former producing Stairs Mine property where widespread alteration, generally within sediments, occurs proximal to felsic volcanic contacts. Alteration consists of wide zones of carbonate/pyrite alteration +/- silification and can obtain widths up to 100-200 m with more intense internal zones of sericite alteration and green mica alteration within the broad carbonate alteration. Gold valeurs are found most commonly with quartz ankerite veins but can also occur in massive sulphide veins, chromic-pyrite veins and sericite alteration.

Explor Resources Inc. is a publicly listed company trading on the TSX Venture (EXS), on the OTCQB (EXSFF) and on the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges (E1H1).

  • A number of high-profile athletes are reportedly among the investors in NRG Esports.
  • ESPN.com reported “NRG Esports is in the process of closing a $15 million Series B financing round.” Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch, former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, former New York Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan and former MLB outfielder Marlon Byrd are some of those who invested

On Thursday, Jacob Wolf of ESPN.com reported “NRG Esports is in the process of closing a $15 million Series B financing round.” Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch, former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, former New York Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan and former MLB outfielder Marlon Byrd are some of those who invested.

Wolf’s report noted Rodriguez previously invested in NRG Esports and will now join the company’s board following his latest investment.

NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal was among the previous investors in 2016.

In addition to the athletes, Sacramento Kings minority owner Kevin Nagle also invested. There is a natural Kings connection with NRG Esports considering founders Andy Miller and Mark Mastrov own a stake in the team.

In terms of the latest round of investors, Lynch came out of retirement and joined the Raiders this season. Rodriguez last played during the 2016 season for the Yankees, hit 696 career home runs and is currently a broadcaster for Fox. Byrd suited up for 10 different teams during his career and also last played during the 2016 season, while Strahan is a Hall of Famer and current television personality.

HPQ $HPQ.ca to Commence Drilling on Roncevaux Property to Delineate a #Quartz Resource as Feed for High Purity Silicon Metal Production

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:28 AM on Thursday, September 28th, 2017

Hpq large

  • Will commence a 2,000 metres diamond drill program during Q4 2017
  • To delineate a quartz (SiO2) resource on our Roncevaux Quartz property located in Matapedia in the Gaspe region of Quebec

MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Sept. 28, 2017) – HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to advise shareholders the company will commence a 2,000 metres diamond drill program during Q4 2017 to delineate a quartz (SiO2) resource on our Roncevaux Quartz property located in Matapedia in the Gaspe region of Quebec. 2014 quartz sampling and analysis work done by the company revealed that quartz from the property is of exceptional purity, suitable for high purity quartz applications and as raw feed for the production of silicon metal. The corrected silicon dioxide average for the 20 samples assayed was 99.65%, ranging from 99.37% to 99.86% SiO2 (December 16, 2014 PR).

Since Sept 2016, Pyrogenesis has been using the Gen 1 PUREVAPtm to transform Roncevaux SiO2 (Quartz) into 3N+ Purity Silicon Metal (99.97% Si) (September 19, 2017 PR, May 16, 2017 PR, January 26, 2017 PR, November 29, 2016 PR, November 2, 2016 PR and September 29, 2016 PR). The material produced using our Roncevaux SiO2 (Quartz) with the PUREVAPtm exceeds the highest purity level of the Metallurgical Grade Silicon Metal (Mg Si) industry, a US$5.5 billion dollar per year industry1.

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of HPQ Silicon stated, “Delineating a quartz resource that can be used as the feed for our PUREVAPtm Quartz Reduction Reactors is a crucial first step towards a PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment). Having our own quartz deposit would fulfill our plans to make HPQ a vertically integrated solar grade silicon metal company.” Mr. Levasseur also stated, “In addition to the quartz, we will also be testing the gold potential of the property, as documented in past exploration.”

DRILL PROGRAM DETAILS AND OBJECTIVES

The Diamond Drill Program will commence with a minimum of 2,000 metres of drilling in 32 holes along the 400 metres of the known surface strike of the quartz vein. The objective will be to delineate a quartz resource of at least 650,000 tons to a depth of 50 meters. Chemical analyzes and characterization tests will be completed on drilled cores. The Company has applied for the permits required to cut trees and build an access lanes for the drill rig.

Furthermore, two 50-ton bulk samples of quartz will be excavated and stockpiled on the property. This material will be used as additional raw feed for metallurgical testing using HPQ Gen 2 PUREVAPtm a 1/250 scale model of our planned Gen 3 PUREVAPtm, a 200 tonnes per annum (tpa) Pilot Plant under fabrication (September 19, 2017 PR).

ABOUT THE RONCEVAUX QUARTZ PROPERTY

During 2014, sampling and analysis done by the company revealed the Roncevaux quartz is of exceptional purity suitable for both high purity quartz applications and as raw feed for the production of silicon metal. The corrected silicon dioxide average for the 20 samples assayed is 99.65 %, ranging from 99.37 % to 99.86 % (December 16, 2014 PR).

In March 2015, HPQ received third party validation of the potential of the material when a major Silicon Metal Producer expressed an interest in the High Purity Lump Quartz material from the Roncevaux property, after our material successfully passed their rigorous testing protocols (March 2, 2015 PR).

RONCEVAUX GOLD EXPLORATION

In addition to delineating the quartz vein, the Company intends to undertake a gold prospecting campaign on the property that will include sampling of mineralized outcrops and geochemical soil surveys. The Roncevaux project area was initially prospected for its gold potential. In 1992, prospector M. Beaulieu found and sampled a white quartz vein on the southern part of the property that had a thickness of about 3.60m outcropping along a small feeder stream to the nearby Roland Creek. This occurrence showed significant anomalous gold values from outcrops of up to 1,51g/t Au. Core samples from 4 short holes drilled in the structure returned gold assays of 8,26 g/t Au, 0,58 g/t Au, 0,49 g/t Au and 0,34 g/t Au from unspecified core length. (GM 57622 Beaulieu 1992)

  • 100% owned Buckingham graphite project in Quebec.
  • 20.69% Cg over 8 metres in drill hole 17-02.
  • 2, 7.35% Cg over 12 metres in hole CK17-01

 

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 28, 2017) –  CKR Carbon Corporation. (TSXV: CKR) (FSE: CB81) (“CKR” or the “Company”) a vertically integrated graphite to graphenes, advanced materials development company is pleased to provide initial results from the diamond drilling and trenching program at its 100% owned Buckingham graphite project in Quebec. Results have been received from three of five holes and one of four trenches, with assays up to 20.69% Cg (carbon as graphite) over 8 metres in drill hole 17-02.

Highlights of the results received to date include 15.0% Cg over eight metres in Trench 2, 7.35% Cg over 12 metres in hole CK17-01, and 6.06% Cg over 88 metres from nine metres that included a higher-grade interval of 20.69% Cg over 8 metres in hole CK17-02. A summary of the results is given in the table below.

 

Hole/Trench ID From (m) To (m) Width (m) Cg (%)
CK17-01 53 106 53 3.52
including 94 106 12 7.35
CK17-02 9 97 88 6.06
including 75 95 20 7.52
and 11 31 20 12.09
including 22 30 8 20.69
CK17-03 35 59 24 2.64
17-TR02 13.4 10.50
including 8 15.00

 

Widths are not necessarily true widths as there is currently insufficient information to calculate true widths.

The drilling and trenching follows up on positive results of airborne electromagnetics and trenching undertaking during 2016. Hole CK-17-01 was drilled below an isolated EM conductor and intersected graphite mineralization primarily hosted in marble with minor quartzo-feldspatic gneiss. Hole CK 17-02 was drilled into the main 1.54 kilometre long northeast-southwest trending EM conductor the northeast portion of which coincides with graphite mineralization in the Case Zone that yielded assays of 1.6% Cg to 28.7% Cg in 35 grab samples. The best intersections were associated with marble and calc-silicate rich rock. Hole CK-17-03 was drilled approximately 100m to the south east of CK17-02 where the EM anomaly narrows.

Results from trench two are encouraging, since it extends the known graphite mineralization approximately 230 metres to the southeast and confirms the coincidence of graphite mineralization with the EM conductor.

“We are very pleased with these results from our 100% owned Buckingham Project that confirm the graphite is associated with the EM conductor over the length tested to date,” said Roger Moss, Chief Executive Officer of CKR Carbon. “Results from Trench 17 TR-02 are particularly significant as it represents a 230 metre step southeast along the EM conductor.”

All samples were placed in a plastic sample bag along with a sample tag. Bags were sealed with a single use tie. Samples were securely stored prior to shipping to SGS in Lakefield Ontario. Samples were crushed, milled and roasted and treated by HCl leach prior to being assayed by the combustion infrared technique (LECO). The company routinely submits standards, duplicates and blanks with sample batches to monitor the quality of the assays.

About the Buckingham Project

The 100%-owned Buckingham Graphite Property is located 7 kilometres northwest of the town of Buckingham, Quebec, Canada and consists of eight claim blocks totaling 480 hectares. Well-maintained bush roads provide easy access to the property. The property lies within the Central Metasedimentary Belt of the Grenville Geologic Province 82 km south of Imerys Graphite & Carbon’s operating Lac des Iles graphite mine. Graphite occurs disseminated in marble and paragneiss and within veins hosted in pegmatite, diopside skarn, marble and gneiss.

Two graphitic zones, the Uncle Zone and the Case Zone have been discovered to date, with both zones showing high grade occurrences of disseminated flake and vein type graphite and yielding assay values as high as 81.1% Cg. Initial crushing and flotation of two samples from the Uncle zone has achieved purity of up to 99.4% Cg from a single flotation test without process optimization (see news release dated February 17, 2015).

What You Need To Know About #Lithium $NAM.ca $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:07 PM on Wednesday, September 27th, 2017

In our July piece, Is This a Turning Point for Lithium Demand?, we discussed our belief that we are in the early stages of a dramatic shift in lithium demand. The main driver: the acceleration of electric vehicle (NYSE:EV) sales. In this piece, we seek to address three key questions relating to electric vehicles, lithium, and batteries:

  • Why Now?
  • What does this Growing Demand Mean for Lithium Prices?
  • Do Rising Lithium Prices Hurt Battery Producers?

Why Now?

While electric vehicles have previously been viewed as a gadget for affluent early adopters, EVs appear to be on the verge of going mainstream. A major driver of this change is a major reduction in battery costs, which has made EVs much more affordable relative to traditional combustion engine-powered vehicles. Bloomberg’s New Energy Finance unit found that lithium-ion battery costs fell by nearly 50% from 2014 to 2016 as battery producers raised output and competition increased.1 Falling battery costs along with simpler engine designs and cheaper ‘fuel’ are making consumers around the world seriously consider EVs. Nowhere is this more apparent than in China, which made up over half of the world’s EV market in 2016, and a quarter of the world’s plug-in hybrid sales.2

Another important catalyst for EV sales is government policy. Some governments have historically helped improve the economics around EVs by providing generous subsidies to car buyers. But now regulations are being taken to a whole new level by setting end-dates for the sale of combustion engines. Here’s a list of countries that have recently implemented these policies and the number of new cars sold in these countries in 2016:3,4

  • Norway (0.2m cars): new passenger cars and vans must have zero emissions by 2025
  • India (3.7m): will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2030
  • UK (3.1m): will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2040
  • France (2.5m): will ban the sale of new gasoline and diesel cars by 2040
  • China (28m): recently announced it will ban the sale of gasoline and diesel cars (official date still pending)
