Phase I Geophysical Exploration on Decouverte Property Completed

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:05 AM on Monday, November 30th, 2015

  • Company providing update in relation to its grant from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique of Quebec for the deep geophysical surveys on Durango’s wholly owned Decouverte  property
  • The INRS grant on the Decouverte property was used to focus on defining the electromagnetic (EM) anomalies from Durango’s Dighem airborne survey, which may be indicative of massive sulphide mineralization

Vancouver, BC / November 30, 2015 – Durango Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Durango“) is pleased to provide an update in relation to its grant from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (“INRS”) of Quebec for the deep geophysical surveys on Durango’s wholly owned Decouverte (Discovery) property.

The Decouverte property is located in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt in northern Quebec approximately 100 km to the northwest of the town of Chibougamau, neighbouring on the east side of Osisko Gold’s Assinica property (TSX-OR), 10km southwest of Beaufield Resources Inc.’s Troilus-Tortigny Property (TSX.V-BFD) and 60 km to the southwest of the former-producing Troilus mine.

The INRS grant on the Decouverte property was used to focus on defining the electromagnetic (EM) anomalies from Durango’s Dighem airborne survey, which may be indicative of massive sulphide mineralization. The field exploration program conducted in November 2015 included magnetometric, gravimetric and audiomagnetotellurics surveys along kilometer long sections which intersected different geological structures of interest for mineral exploration.

One section examined, crosses a magnetic high and a strong conductor hosted in a basaltic unit which is probably hosting an iron formation or possibly volcanogenic mineralization. Preliminary interpretation of the audiomagnetotellurics data shows distinct geolectric features up to 2,000m (depth).

Rock sampling was conducted to allow for petrophysics laboratory study on the Decouverte rocks. All geophysical, petrophysical and geological data will be examined over the next few months and will be used to develop a model of the deep geology of the property. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO, states, “The Decouverte property remains a compelling project for Durango due to its volcano-sedimentary environment and structural geology which increases the potential for a significant gold and /or VMS deposit. It is noteworthy that there are three important massive sulphide showings to the west (Fallara, Rapides Assinica and Lucky Strike) and to the East there are VMS deposits with proven resources (Tortigny, Lessard, De Maures, Moleon). Osisko neighbours to the west of Decouverte and is also exploring mindful that VMS deposits often occur in clusters which means the discovery of one may indicated that there are others nearby.”

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Marc Richer-Lafleche, P.Geo QC, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

About Decouverte

The Decouverte property is in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt approximately 60 kilometres southwest of the former Troilus copper-gold mine, which produced over two million ounces Au and 50,000 tonnes Cu from 1997 to 2010. The property covers approximately 5,900 hectares covering a synclinal fold nose of Archean units transected by a major northeast-trending shear zone. Durango carried out a helicopter-borne DIGHEM EM/magnetic airborne geophysical survey on the property in 2011 (NR Nov. 24, 2011) and soil geochemistry and prospecting in 2013 and 2014 targeting areas identified in the airborne survey. The geological setting is mainly mafic volcanics (basalts/andesites), in places strongly sheared, cut by pegmatitic granitic units, and significant sedimentary, oxide and sulphide facies iron formation units. Alteration including silica, sericite and iron carbonate is noted. Significant soil values included 174 ppb gold, 0.66 ppm silver, 150 ppm nickel, 200 ppm copper and 240 ppm barium. Chip/channel rock samples gave values of 7.6 g/t gold and 6.24 g/t gold hosted in narrow quartz veins in mafic volcanics, in the contact area with the pegmatitic granite. The property is located 100 kilometres north of Chibougamau, Quebec and benefits from favourable infrastructure, including road accessibility, being 10 kilometres from Route du Nord, and a power line that bisects the property.

St-Georges Partners with Strategic Metallurgy

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:58 PM on Thursday, November 26th, 2015

Sx_-_logo_-_large

  •  Announced that it has signed a binding letter of intent with Strategic Metallurgy Pty Ltd. of Australia and its president Mr. Gary Johnson
  •  Letter of intent creates a partnership between St-Georges and Strategic Metallurgy in the development and commercialization of new mining extraction technologies aimed to result in cleaner and more environmentally friendly extraction processing technology

Montreal, Quebec / November 26, 2015 – St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTC: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding letter of intent with Strategic Metallurgy Pty Ltd. of Australia and its president Mr. Gary Johnson.

The letter of intent executed this week creates a partnership between St-Georges and Strategic Metallurgy in the development and commercialization of new mining extraction technologies aimed to result in cleaner and more environmentally friendly extraction processing technology and significantly lower nickel extraction costs in future generation mills.

Technology Focus

St-Georges will move its focus from mining exploration to mining technology research & development with the goal of creating a basket of patented technologies marketable in the near future. The Company will create a subsidiary that will be co-managed by Gary Johnson and Enrico Di Cesare, a metallurgist and director of the Company, which will have the mandate to advance nickel-related extraction research projects.

The near-term research program will target these initial sets of processing technologies already identified by Strategic Metallurgy:

– Pre-concentration flotation of difficult ore under modified chemistry conditions. Possible step change in recovery-grade performance for nickel sulfide flotation;

– Upgrading of nickel laterites by the systematic elimination of gangues materials. Mineralogy driven with hydrometallurgy approach that reduces drastically the cost of iron handling in the process;

– High-pH leaching of high MgO sulfide ores in the presence of complexing agents;

– Treating pyrrhotite concentrates already mined and milled (0.6-1.0% Ni) with hydrometallurgy

Enrico di Cesare stated, “The rise in extraction costs, stringent environmental emission targets and the drop in metal prices have triggered a renewed interest in cost-effective and green processing technologies with existing metal producers (…) our goal is to position ourselves as an important provider of innovative solutions that will enable cash-restricted companies to improve their bottom lines with their current operations, find solutions for minerals that are currently seen as ‘difficult’ and position ourselves as a provider of environmentally friendly processing solutions.”

Financing

Strategic Metallurgy has agreed to put in place a collateralized line of credit (“CLOC”) in favor of St-Georges for an amount up to $1 million CAD. The collateral used for the CLOC will be created in the form of an equity subscription by Strategic Metallurgy for 10,800,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.065 per Unit, for gross proceeds to St-Georges of $702,000. Each Unit will include a common share in the capital of the Company at a deemed price of $0.065 and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle its holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.10 for a period of three years from closing; the Warrants will be transferable. The Warrants will be distributed to the shareholders of Strategic Metallurgy after their regulatory hold period of four months. The common shares will be held in escrow, with such escrow agent to be appointed by St-Georges.

The CLOC will only be used for R&D expenses. St-Georges will have the choice to repay the CLOC either in cash or by letting Strategic Metallurgy receive the shares held in escrow.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Medical marijuana users get OK from province to vaporize anywhere

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:09 AM on Thursday, November 26th, 2015
  • Medical marijuana users in Ontario are now legally able to use vaporizers just about anywhere in the province
  • Liberal government quietly exempted them this week from a law that bans the use of e-cigarettes anywhere regular cigarettes are prohibited. It means medical marijuana users can vaporize in restaurants, at work or on playgrounds

Ronan Levy, with the Canadian Cannabis Clinic, discusses the decision to allow medical marijuana users to smoke virtually anywhere.

TORONTO — Medical marijuana users in Ontario are now legally able to use vaporizers just about anywhere in the province.

The Liberal government quietly exempted them this week from a law that bans the use of e-cigarettes anywhere regular cigarettes are prohibited. It means medical marijuana users can vaporize in restaurants, at work or on playgrounds.

Associate Health Minister Dipika Damerla said under the exemption for medical marijuana users, employers or restaurant owners could still ban them from smoking on the premises.

“If it’s bothering somebody, find another place to go and smoke,” she said Wednesday.

“Somebody who really needs it for medical reasons may need to be able to smoke it or vape it. On the other hand, we are very sensitive to people around them. It really is about balancing those rights.”

The exemption is about letting people who are very sick or in a lot of pain to take their prescribed medication when they need to, Damerla said.

Jonathan Zaid, the founder of Canadians for Fair Access to Medical Marijuana, said the new regulations don’t change much since medical marijuana users could already smoke “pretty much” anywhere before the e-cigarette law was passed in May.

“Public places like parks or sidewalks are for sure allowed now in the regulations,” he said.

“So it doesn’t really mean anything new because it has always been allowed. There haven’t been regulations pertaining to vaporizers in the past, but what it does mean is the provincial government is taking a step forward and actually recognizing medical marijuana as a legitimate medicine.”

But Zaid highly doubts the change in regulations will mean medical marijuana users flooding playgrounds and restaurants to vaporize.

“There’s one thing to have a right and there’s another thing to abuse it,” said Zaid, who uses medical marijuana to treat chronic headaches.

“Everyone that I know, including myself, who uses medical cannabis is discreet about it. They just want to use it as their medicine to feel better, to live a better quality of life and they don’t want to be harassed about it, so that also means they’re not typically likely to do it in a very public space.”

Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown said he didn’t want to “make a lot of political hay” over the exemption, but he urged the Liberal government to make sure the new provincial rules are in line with what municipalities have established.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath didn’t sound especially shocked by the exemption either.

When asked what she would do if someone was smoking marijuana next to her at a restaurant, she laughed and said, “I’ll probably eat more.”

CLIENT FEATURE: Dusolo (DSF: TSX-V) Capitalizing on Brazil’s Growing Demand for Fertilizer

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:51 AM on Thursday, November 26th, 2015

BY BEING A DOMESTIC FERTILIZER PRODUCER, DUSOLO IS ABLE TO OFFER A PREMIUM PRODUCT AT A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER COST

  • Direct Application Natural Fertilizer (DANF) product is in demand in the region
  • Flagship asset, the Bomfim Project, is 100% owned and located in one of the world’s fastest growing agrarian regions
  • Bomfim Processing Plant operating at full capacity
  • On track to produce at least ~100,000 tonnes of DANF in 2015
  • Sales contracts in place for 2015 planting season: 81,100 tonnes for ~C$8.5 million
  • Starting to generate revenue

MANY NEAR TERM CATALYSTS EXPECTED

  • Entering into additional DANF product sales contracts
  • Doubling capacity at our processing facility to 160,000 tonnes per year
  • Updating the National Instrument 43-101 Resource Estimate to include results from the 2015 drill campaign – Recent drill results confirm presence of additional high-grade phosphate mineralization beyond areas identified in initial resource estimate
  • Third Party Economic Evaluation of Operations Planned for 2015
  • Strong Financial Backing

Company entered into an agreement with Mineração Batalha e Participações Ltda. to acquire the São Roque Phosphate Project in southeast Brazil.

The Project’s highlights include:

  • Located within the agribusiness region of Minas Gerais and São Paulo states, with many coffee, orange and sugar-cane (ethanol) plantations in the surrounding area.
  • At surface, high-grade phosphate mineralization has been identified with multiple grab samples from outcrops confirming >20% P2O5.
  • Geophysics anomalies very well defined and confirmed by surface sampling.
  • Close proximity to infrastructure, including roads, rail, water and power, and existing fertilizer producers. City of Piumhi is 40 km from the Project.
  • 70% interest earned through commitment to invest in exploration and project development. No direct payment to JV Partner.

BRAZIL’S DOMESTIC FERTILIZER SUPPLY DOES NOT MEET CURRENT DEMANDS

  • World’s largest exporter of sugar, coffee and orange juice and the 2nd largest in soybean exports
  • Brazil imports more than 50% of phosphate fertilizers used overseas
  • Significant transportation and logistic-related costs are added to imported fertilizers
  • DuSolo’s is increasing the supply of domestically produced fertilizers
  • Helping the country achieve agricultural self-sufficiency

FLAGSHIP ASSET LOCATED IN ONE OF THE WORLD’S LARGEST AGRICULTURAL REGIONS

  • The Cerrado region is home to one of the largest arable landmasses in the world
  • Majority of future increases in global food production is expected to come from this region
  • The tropical rains in the Cerrado wash away nutrients, leaving the soil poor for farming and needing to be fertilized frequently
  • Cerrado is land locked, therefore making fertilizer imports very expensive

 

STRONG DEMAND FOR DANF EXISTS IN THE REGION

Within a 500 km radius of DuSolo’s processing facility:

  • 1.2 million tonnes of phosrock is being consumed every year
  • 585 farms and agricultural centres exist
  • DANF consumption is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6%
  • No domestic production

Uragold Completes Fieldwork Phase Of Program To Validate Historical Estimate Of Roncevaux High Purity Quartz Vein Deposits

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:49 AM on Tuesday, November 24th, 2015

  • Announced that the INRS (Eau Terre Environnement) team has completed the fieldwork phase of its ongoing exploration program on the Roncevaux High Purity Quartz vein property located in the Matapedia Valley in the Gaspe region of Quebec
  • Uragold is the largest holder of High Purity Quartz properties in Quebec, with over 3,500 Ha under claims.

Montreal, Quebec / November 24 2015 – Uragold (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that the INRS (Eau Terre Environnement) team has completed the fieldwork phase of its ongoing exploration program on the Roncevaux High Purity Quartz vein property located in the Matapedia Valley in the Gaspe region of Quebec. Uragold is the largest holder of High Purity Quartz properties in Quebec, with over 3,500 Ha under claims.

INDUSTRY COVETS RONCEVAUX HIGH PURITY QUARTZ

The material’s unique characteristics make it highly coveted within the industry, as confirmed by the following:

March 2, 2015 – A major Silicon Metal Producer (1st Producer) expressed interest in purchasing 20,000 – 50,000 tons of High Purity Lump Quartz from Roncevaux. The 1st Producer confirmed material from Roncevaux successfully passed rigorous internal testing protocols, deeming our material highly suited for their Silicon Metal production plant.

August 27, 2015 – A second major Silicon Metal Producer, for the purpose of securing material for their plant, requested High Purity Quartz samples from Roncevaux for evaluation.

TRANSFORMING RONCEVAUX QUARTZ INTO HIGH VALUE END PRODUCT

In addition to the above, Uragold is also evaluating the possibility of becoming a fully integrated vertical producer of High Purity Solar Grade Silicon Metal / Value End Products:

September 30, 2015 – Uragold announced a partnership with Pyrogenesis Canada, in which PyroGenesis granted Uragold a worldwide exclusive right to the usage of the PUREVAP (TM) Quartz Vaporization Reactor technology. The purpose of the partnership is to transform our High Purity Quartz into High Purity Solar Grade Silicon Metal / Value End Products such as:

  • -Solar Grade Silicon Metal (“UMG Si”) 6N to 8N purity Si which presently sells for $USD 12.51 per Kg ($USD 12,510 per Metric ton)1;-Polysilicon or 9N Si which presently sells for $USD 14.10 per Kg ($USD 14,100 per Metric ton)2

Successful testing of this process and transformation of our High Purity Quartz into High Purity Solar Grade Silicon Metal, is expected to be completed in Q1 2016, and will put Uragold in a position to turn its Quartz Projects into the Highest Purity, Lowest Cost Supplier to the Solar Industry.

Bernard Tourillon, Chairman and CEO of Uragold stated: “The science behind the PUREVAP (TM) Quartz Vaporization Reactor is strong: A Plasma arc based process can transform High Purity Quartz into Metallurgical Grade Silicon Metal (“Mg Si”). The Plasma arc based process can then be used to purify Mg Si into higher value materials such as Solar Grade Silicon Metal. Furthermore, 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 about the PyroGenesis approach is the combination of these three proven processes into one step”

FIELDWORK COMPLETED BY INRS DURING THE FIRST EXPLORATION PHASE

  • -Twelve (12) lines of forest were cut and cleared for geological mapping and for geophysics work that included:
    • -High-resolution magnetometric survey (total field and gradient) (GSM-19)-Frequency-domain electromagnetic survey (Iris Promis-10)-Four electrical resistivity tomographic sections (ABEM Terrameter LS)

    -New trenches were excavated and old trenches were cleaned to allow channel sampling of the quartz vein and the collection of 200 Kg samples for:

    • -High precision geochemical evaluation to be done by the INRS; and-2nd Producer evaluation and Dorfner Anzaplan test regarding the development of property specific beneficiation processes for the production of ultra high purity quartz sands (99.99+% SiO2) (April 13, 2015 press release).

Results of the geophysics and geochemical work will allow the planning of a drilling program to confirm SiO2 purity at depth and to validate the historical estimates of 414,700 tons of High Purity Quartz contained in the V1 vein structure (grading @ 99.20% of SiO2) (GM60610: Barrette, Jean-Paul. 2003. Rapport des travaux d’exploration miniere sur la veine de quartz pur. Projet Silice Roncevaux, Canton Roncevaux, Gaspesie)

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of Uragold stated, “This work is advancing our understanding of the Roncevaux quartz deposit. When combining our technology partnership with PyroGenesis Inc. and our properties portfolio, Uragold is well positioned to become a Green Tech industry leader in the quartz value added business.”

All information such as resource estimates and grades herein 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.

The work was complete by a team supervised by Dr. Marc Richer-LaFleche, Ph.D. (Geo) the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS, Eau Terre Environnement). Mr. Vivian Stuart-Williams, SACNASPS, working under Special Authorization #308 of the Quebec Order of Geologist, is an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 that supervised the preparation of the information in this news release.

About Uragold

Uragold, with its worldwide exclusive usage of the PUREVAP (TM) quartz vaporization reactor, is endeavouring to become a vertically integrated Silicon Metal, Solar Grade Silicon Metal and Polysilicon producer.

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

Uragold 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.

Recent Developments in the Lithium Market

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:06 AM on Friday, November 20th, 2015

  • Sales of electric vehicles (“EVs”) have increased significantly in 2015 due to a strong market in Europe and China
  • According to global market research firm TrendForce, the worldwide sales of EVs for the first three quarters of 2015 have increased 31% year on year to 330,000 units, with China accounting for the largest share, partly due to government support

Following up on Avalon Rare Metals’ July 13, 2015 Industry Bulletin “Growing lithium demand creates new opportunities for Avalon’s Separation Rapids Project,” we are pleased to provide an update on the lithium market, where demand for lithium chemicals is growing and prices are rising.

Sales of electric vehicles (“EVs”) have increased significantly in 2015 due to a strong market in Europe and China. According to global market research firm TrendForce, the worldwide sales of EVs for the first three quarters of 2015 have increased 31% year on year to 330,000 units, with China accounting for the largest share, partly due to government support. This has had a positive effect on demand for lithium-ion batteries and in turn for lithium chemicals.

On September 15, 2015, FMC Corporation announced that effective October 1, 2015 it would increase prices for the lithium products it sells including lithium carbonate, lithium chloride and lithium hydroxide in all global regions by 15% as “market growth is outpacing current industry supply capabilities,” according to Chris Senyk, global marketing director at FMC Corporation.

Also, the Xinhua Finance Agency recently reported on some transactions earlier this year inside China for battery grade lithium carbonate priced in the range of 58,000 – 60,000 yuan per metric ton (US$9,100–9,400 per tonne)*, an increase of between 9% and 11% from earlier this year. Note that lithium chemicals are not traded on a commodities exchange and prices reported represent periodic spot transactions.

The trend of increasing demand for EVs is consistent with Stormcrow Capital’s forecast of May 2015 in which they anticipate demand for lithium for batteries to triple in the next ten years and the overall demand for lithium to double during the same period. Stormcrow also expects that this demand will outpace supply growth over the next five years.

Yesterday, Nemaska Lithium Inc. (“Nemaska”) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Johnson Matthey Battery Materials Ltd (“JMBM”) of Candiac, Quebec. The MOU contemplates an up-front payment by JMBM of $12 million in return for future services and products of the same value. The MOU also includes provisions for a long term supply agreement between Nemaska and JMBM for lithium hydroxide and carbonate. This demonstrates that some consumers of lithium are taking action now to secure long term future supplies from emerging producers.

In September 2014, Tesla Motors announced plans to build a “Gigafactory” in Nevada to produce Li-ion batteries for its future electric cars. In April 2015, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the Li-ion “Powerwall” battery for home energy storage. One of the ways improvements in energy density are being achieved is through utilization of ever higher purities of input raw materials including lithium chemicals. Simon Moores, Managing Director of Benchmark Minerals Intelligence, recently stated that “Tesla will single-handedly increase lithium hydroxide demand by 50% on 2013 levels at a time when demand is also increasing from other battery producers that are expanding lithium-ion cell output on a significant scale. Should the company be looking to purchase even 10,000 tonnes today, the industry would not be able to meet this demand.”

Benchmark Minerals Intelligence provides independent data and analysis on the lithium ion battery supply chain. Mr. Moores will be joining Avalon’s CEO Don Bubar at the Company’s presentation on the Separation Rapids Lithium Project to investors in London on November 26, 2015 and will talk specifically about the market for the critical materials used in the lithium ion battery. Please contact Andrew Keen at [email protected] for more information about this evening event.
