Explor Announces Ogden Property Diamond Drilling Results $EXS.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:11 PM on Thursday, August 4th, 2016

Exs_logo

  • 2.06 g/t Au over 1.50 meters from 154.5 to 156.0 meters.
  • 1.99 g/t Au over 1.80 meters from 438.0 to 439.8 meters.

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC–(Aug. 4, 2016) – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or “the Corporation”) (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQX:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce the results of the Diamond Drilling Program on the Corporation’s Ogden Gold Property. The property is located 12 kilometers southwest of the city of Timmins, Ontario. The property consists of 12 mining claims (96 mineral claim units) covering 1,540 hectares situated in the Porcupine mining division, district of Cochrane, in the Ogden and Price Townships, Ontario. These claims are contiguous to the east of the Corporation’s Timmins Porcupine West Property (the “TPW Property”). This preliminary program consisted of three sets of two holes each. East set was located with an approximate 2 kilometer spacing as shown on the attached plan.

The property has been previously explored by Hollinger Mines, Tex-Sol Exploration, Inmet Mining Corporation, Amax Mineral Exploration, Noranda Exploration and Knick Exploration. The majority of the holes drilled by previous operators were less than 100 meters in length. Historically on the Ogden Property, the only hole that hit significant mineralization was a diamond drill hole by Tex-Sol Exploration in 1965 which returned 6.0 g/t Au over 9.1 m at a shallow depth. Typically on the adjacent TPW Gold Property, higher grade mineralization was intersected below 300 meters of vertical depth requiring drill holes of 500 to 600 meters in length.

The most significant deposits in Timmins are spatially associated with porphyry units that are in proximity to the Porcupine Destor Fault. Also the deposits appear to be also associated with splay faults that trend off and to the North of the Porcupine Destor fault inside an interpreted splay fault corridor. Bearing that in mind, the preliminary exploration program consisted of six NQ holes for a total of 3,648 meters of diamond drilling. The holes averaged 600 meters in length. The preliminary goal of this Diamond Drill program was to test the IP Targets and to identify if the property contained favourable geology to host gold mineralization. The diamond drill program used geophysical targets identified by Explor’s ground geophysical survey as well as IP work conducted by Inmet and Knick Exploration. The program was successful in that all IP targets were intersected. The geological environment identified is very similar to the Corporation’s Timmins Porcupine West Property. As it was the case at TPW property, the rock type intersected included Quartz Feldspar Porphyry (QFP), Mafic Volcanics, and Sulfide zones containing fine grain pyrite mineralization.

The following results were obtained from this first drilling campaign:

Hole #OG-16-02 intersected 2.06 g/t Au over 1.50 meters from 154.5 to 156.0 meters.

Hole #OG-16-05 intersected 1.99 g/t Au over 1.80 meters from 438.0 to 439.8 meters.

Explor plans on analyzing the current results in context with the geological information obtained with this preliminary program and plans an exploration program for the fall/winter drilling season.

Assays are conducted on NQ sized half core sections. The diamond drill core is logged and sampled following general industry practices whereby logged and sample marked core is sawn in half, with one-half bagged and tagged for shipment to the assay laboratory and the remaining half of the sawn core returned to the core box for storage and future reference. Blanks and assay standards are inserted at regular intervals in each sample batch. Assays are conducted using a standard fire assay technique on a 30 gram sample with a gravimetric finish by Laboratoire Expert Inc., of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Routine duplicates are completed by Laboratoire Expert inc. Pulps and rejects are returned and stored in secure containers. Intersections are reported using drilled widths unless specified otherwise, with assay values as simple averages of duplicates and gravimetric results.

Chris Dupont, President and Chief Executive Officer of Explor Resources Inc. commented: “We are extremely pleased and encouraged by these preliminary drill results and the confirmation of the potential of the gold bearing environment. This drilling campaign indicates to us that this large property block could potentially host a major gold deposit, and merits further exploration.”

About HPQ Silicon

HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (Formally Uragold Bay Resources) is a TSX-V listed junior exploration company planning to become a vertically integrated and diversified High Value Specialty Materials Company. Our Business model is focused on developing unique projects that can generate high yield returns and significant free cash flow within a short time line.

High Value Specialty Materials

In September 2015, PyroGenesis announced that it had filed for a provisional patent for the PUREVAPTM Quartz Vaporization Reactor (QVR) process, which it noted was able to produce silicon, at a lower cost, while generating less CO2 emissions than current processes.

On April 19, 2016, PyroGenesis announced that early test results of the PUREVAPTM QVR process have demonstrated that it can transform high purity quartz into silicon metal. The PUREVAPTM QVR validation program his now in its second stage whereby the operational parameters of the reactor are adjusted in order to achieve the transformation of HPQ Silicon Quartz into Solar Grade Purity Si.

On June 29, 2016, HPQ Silicon announced that first pass analytical process confirms the ability of the PUREVAPTM process to create high purity silicon metal exceeding 99.9% and that samples are to be sent to a specialized laboratory in the United States to determine the precise purity levels of the Silicon Metal.

HPQ Silicon, with its PUREVAP(TM) QVR process, is endeavouring to become a vertically integrated Silicon Metal (98.5% Si), High Purity Silicon Metal (99.99% Si), Solar Grade Silicon Metal (6N Purity / 99.9999% Si) and/or Higher (9N Purity / 99.9999999% Si) producer.

The PUREVAP(TM) QVR process’s big advantage is its one step direct transformation of Quartz into High Purity Silicon Metal Solar Grade Silicon Metal and/or Higher Purity product, thereby potentially allowing Uragold to manufacture high value material for the same operating cost presently being paid by traditional producers to make Metallurgical Grade Si (98.5% Si) using the traditional arc furnace approach.

The Science Behind the PUREVAP(TM) QVR Process Is Solid:

  • ooPlasma arc based process can and has transformed High Purity Quartz into Mg Si.
  • ooPlasma arc based process can and is being used to purify Mg Si into higher value materials such as Sg Si.
  • ooFinally, refining Mg Si using an electron-beam furnace in a high vacuum-processing environment has proven the concept of the elimination of elements whose vapor pressures are higher than that of silicon.

What is unique and ground breaking is the combination of these three proven processes into one step.

A Green And Clean Company

HPQ Silicon UREVAP(TM) QVR will also be implementing a process to make Sg Si, which is estimated to generate 14.1 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si, versus the 54.0 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si of emissions generated by the Siemens process (90% of the present production process). This represents 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which is justified by elimination of the emissions emanating from the use of chemicals, as well as, energy consumption from the additional purification step.

High Purity Quartz Properties

HPQ Silicon is also the largest holder of High Purity Quartz properties in Quebec, with over 3,500 Ha under claims. Despite the abundance of quartz, very few deposits are suitable for high purity applications. High Purity Quartz supplies are tightening, prices are rising, and exponential growth is forecast. Quartz from the Roncevaux property successfully passed rigorous testing protocols of a major silicon metal producer confirming that our material is highly suited for their silicon metal production.

With the acquisition, the total strike length of the River Valley PGM Deposit increases to 16 km, on PFN’s property. Mustang’s work on the property included Mapping, Prospecting, Geophysical Surveys and Diamond Drilling. Surface grab samples returned assays of up to 10 g/t PGM. A total of 57 diamond holes were drilled, for more than 16,000m. Highlights of the drilling include: 1.42 g/t PGM over 9.0m in hole MR02-59, 4.0 g/t PGM over 2.1m in hole MR02-62, and 2.2 g/t PGM over 4.5m in hole MR02-64. The Main Mineralized Zone remains open at depth. Ground Geophysical Survey Results and Structural Geology Interpretation of the property, reveal Priority Exploration Targets, in under-explored areas, which resemble the high-grade T2 Discovery and other similar targets on the adjacent PFN mining leases (Figures 2 & 3) (see PFN press release dated March 11, 2015).

It is expected that 170 sample points will be measured. Results should be available in approximately 3 weeks.

About the Big Smokey Valley (BSV) Lithium Project:

The BSV Lithium Project consists of 160 placer claims, 3,200 acres/1,295 hectares, located in northern Big Smokey Valley, Nye County, Nevada, 12 miles east of the town of Austin and extends approximately 100 miles in a southwesterly direction to reach a southern terminus near Clayton Valley. The northern section, where the claim area is located, contains three geothermal resources; the Darrough, the McLeod and the Spencer hot springs. Nevada Energy Metals has acquired a 100% interest in the property, free of royalty payments.

Historical gravity survey results indicate the depth of valley fill to be approximately 5,100 feet and that there is subsurface closure of the valley a short distance to the south 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.

Historical sediment sampling results for lithium in the basin were reported in the range of 130 to 155 ppm lithium for 4 samples (J.R. Davis, U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, Co.)

Namaste Announces Third Quarter Financial Results $N.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:01 AM on Wednesday, August 3rd, 2016

Namastelarge_copy

  • Gross profit of $353,361 represents a 47.9% gross profit margin for Q3 2016 versus 42.3% for Q3 2015.
  • While gross profit declined versus Q3 2015 by 23.1%, gross profit sequentially increased by 11.6% compared to Q2 2016 and gross profit margin improved from 45.3% to 47.9%. The sequential improvement in margin is indicative of the Company’s increased focus on price controls and more favorable terms from manufacturers.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada – Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) has reported financial results for the third quarter and nine month period, each ending May 31, 2016. The financial statements and management discussion & analysis for the period can be accessed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

During the quarter, the Company focused efforts on transitioning from pay-per-click advertising to inbound organic e-commence growth strategies, which generated Q3 2016 e-commerce revenue of $738,199 and gross profit was $353,361, representing a 47.9% gross profit margin. For the nine month period, revenue was $2,611,871 and gross profit was $1,058,154, representing a 40.5% gross profit margin. For the 2015 fiscal year, the comparable Q3 revenue was $1,087,256 and the comparable revenue for the nine month period was $3,471,420.

Looking forward to the last quarter of 2016 and first half of 2017, the Company anticipates revenue and gross profit to increase significantly due to further traction with its current inbound e-commerce market initiatives, commercialization of the Gurutm, acquisition of VaporSeller, and seasonal increase of sales activities during Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the holiday season.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • ➢ Revenue of $738,199 represents a 32.1% decline over Q3 2015 and sequential increase of 5.7% over Q2 2016. The variance in revenue is indicative of the Company’s transition from expensive pay-per-click advertising to inbound organic e-commence growth strategies which should result in stable revenue performance and decreased advertising spending.
  • ➢ Gross profit of $353,361 represents a 47.9% gross profit margin for Q3 2016 versus 42.3% for Q3 2015. While gross profit declined versus Q3 2015 by 23.1%, gross profit sequentially increased by 11.6% compared to Q2 2016 and gross profit margin improved from 45.3% to 47.9%. The sequential improvement in margin is indicative of the Company’s increased focus on price controls and more favorable terms from manufacturers.
  • ➢ Operating costs of $716,855 represent a 97% increase over Q3 2015 and a 19.4% sequential decrease over Q2 2016. The majority of the increase in operating costs compared to Q3 2015 is due to nonrecurring costs associated with taking the Company public and share-based compensation.
  • ➢ Pre-tax loss of $363,494 is reflective of the increased operating costs during the period, being primarily due to listing costs and share-based compensation.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

  • ➢ Transitioned from pay-per-click advertising to inbound organic e-commence growth strategies focused on domain authority, best-in-class natural rankings, trust of brand growth, client population expansion, and sales conversion optimization. Organic inbound marketing increases the recurring nature of sales and places less dependence of major search engines.
  • ➢ Maintained #1 brand trust ranking in the vaporizer space, as ranked by Trust Pilot, and achieved approximately a 3% conversion ratio over the period.
  • ➢ Entered binding letter of intent for the acquisition of VaporSeller, an e-commerce platform for the distribution of vaporizers and accessories with an unaudited revenue of US$3.4 million in 2015. Subsequent to the quarter ended May 31, 2016, the Company closed the acquisition o
  • ➢ Placed commercial order qualities for the Gurutm, the Company’s first proprietary vaporizer capable of seamlessly vaporizing dry herbs, concentrates and liquids.

Mr. Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste, comments: “The first nine months of the Company’s fiscal 2016 has been transformational. When I reflect back at the accomplishments of our team over this period, including taking our company public, completing our first external capital raises, securing our first acquisition and implementing long term and sustainable e-commerce marketing strategies, my personal sense of optimism and excitement for the future of Namaste is confirmed.

American Creek Reports That a Magnetotelluric Survey Has Commenced at Treaty Creek $AMK.ca $SEA.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:10 AM on Wednesday, August 3rd, 2016

Hublogolarge2_copy

  • Commissioned a comprehensive Magnetotelluric survey on the Treaty Creek Property
  • Located immediately adjacent to Seabridge Gold’s KSM project in the “Golden Triangle” of NW British Columbia 75km north of Stewart.

CARDSTON, ALBERTA–(Aug. 3, 2016) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AMK) (“American Creek”) is pleased to report that its JV partner, Tudor Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TUD) (“Tudor”) has commissioned a comprehensive Magnetotelluric survey (“MT survey”) on the Treaty Creek Property located immediately adjacent to Seabridge Gold’s KSM project in the “Golden Triangle” of NW British Columbia 75km north of Stewart.

American Creek and Tudor recently entered into a joint venture agreement with Tudor holding a 60% interest and American Creek and Teuton Resources Corp. each holding 20% carried interests in the project. Tudor is the operator.

The survey, already in progress, is being run by Simcoe Geoscience Ltd. using the same geophysicist that designed, ran, and interpreted MT surveys on the adjacent KSM and Brucejack projects owned by Seabridge Gold and Pretivm Resources respectively. The program is also using the same equipment and technology that continues to be used with great success on the adjoining properties.

MT surveys, a geophysical technique that measures fluctuations in naturally-occurring electrical and magnetic fields, have been used extensively by Seabridge and Pretivm to assist them in discovering and developing new deposits. The Deep Kerr, Lower Iron Cap, Mitchell at Depth, and extensions of Deep Kerr deposits are some of the discoveries within Seabridge’s KSM project where MT technology was utilized in discovering and in developing drill targets for these core zones. Pretivm Resources, whose deposits (Snowfield/Brucejack/Valley of the Kings) are adjacent to the KSM, has also had great success using MT technology in the discovery and development of their deposits. This confirms the reliability and accuracy of MT technology within the large hydrothermal system encompassing the KSM, Snowfield/Brucejack, and Treaty Creek projects. This hydrothermal system is one of the largest in the world with the southern half being shared by Pretivm’s deposits on the east and Seabridge’s deposits on the west. The northern half of the system extends through the Treaty Creek property.

In 2011, Seabridge commissioned a single line array MT survey through the Treaty Creek property to cover their proposed tunnel route as part of their KSM development plan. The exploration objective was to detect porphyry-rich mineralization and/or associated alteration zones to depth and to establish an understanding of the geological system and fluid pathways to great depth within the KSM survey area. The survey was successful in discovering potential porphyry-rich mineralization and/or associated alteration zones to depth as it revealed a large conductive body at depth which extends upward to the surface between MT sites 214 and 216. This area contains gossanous outcrops along with surface mineralization and also includes the previously explored Orpiment zone. The survey also shows a more prominent feeder extending over 3km from the large conductive body at depth. This feeder is approximately 750m wide and extends to the location of the Copper Belle zone where another large conductive body (less than 200ohm-m) appears on the survey starting between MT sites 208 and 209. The northeast tip of Copper Belle, a bulk-tonnage type gold-copper-molybdenum porphyry, appears to be located at the northeast tip of this low resistive anomaly. The drilling that American Creek conducted in 2007 and 2009 (prior to the MT survey) at Copper Belle was primarily between MT sites 209 and 210 and therefore did not intersect the MT anomaly, however hole CB-14 (the closest hole to the anomaly) carried 0.8g/t gold over 241m and ended in mineralization.

The MT anomalies on the Treaty Creek property have a direct correlation with magnetic highs. A large magnetic anomaly starts precisely where the MT anomaly near Copper Belle begins. Both the MT survey, and a previously conducted Mag survey on Treaty Creek, independently suggest the possibility of a metallic deposit in porphyry form. When the two correlate with each other so perfectly it is referred to as a “strong contact”. The extent of the MT anomaly will remain unknown until the current MT survey is complete, but the magnetic high directly associated with it covers approximately nine square kilometers.

Simcoe Geoscience Ltd. is currently running an extensive 3D survey that covers all the areas of known mineralization on the Treaty Creek property. This will reveal the extent of the existing MT anomalies in far greater detail, and potentially reveal new anomalies, giving Tudor the same type of insights that have contributed to the discoveries on the Seabridge and Pretivm properties within the same hydrothermal system.

Tudor is also planning to commence drilling at Treaty Creek within the next week.

Darren Blaney, American Creek’s President & CEO, stated: “We are very much looking forward to the advancement of the Treaty Creek project and are pleased that Tudor is now on the property and that work is commencing. The exact same MT survey technology presently being employed by Tudor at Treaty has been the key to the recent world class discoveries that have been made by both Seabridge and Pretivm to our south. Our shareholders have been anticipating this event for quite some time and now their patience and support will be rewarded.”
