Vancouver, November 26, 2007:Teck Cominco Ltd. and Novagold Resources made public today theirdecision to halt development of the Galore Creek Project in the ruggedcoast range of northwestern British Columbia. The decision was promptedby rising capital costs which are estimated to go as high as $5 billiondue to its remote location,climate and infrastructure challenges.

Incontrast to the Galore Creek project, Serengeti Resources Inc.'s Kwanikaproject is very favorably located in north-central British Columbia anddoes not face the same challenges. The Kwanika project enjoys a numberof infrastructure advantages including year round road access, a nearbyrailway and a power line within 75 kms.Additionally, the widevalley-bottom terrain where the project is located offers a morehospitable region to work in. If Kwanika were to become an economicresource, the capital costs should be considerably lower due to itsfavorable location.

NOT EVERY NR IS GOING TO GET THE BAND MARCHING
WITH ANOTHER NR DUE OUT IN 2 WEEKS AND NOTHING HAS MADE KWANIKA ANY LESS OF A WINNER,,
AS FOR 2 DISAPPOINTING NR'S IN A ROW,,,,,I WOULDN'T THINK SO.

THE DRILLING AT KWANIKA IS ONGOING AND STEADY, AND WITH AN ASSAY RELEASE PROMISED BY THE COMPANY EVERY 3 TO 4 WEEKS OVER THE REST OF 2008,, THE HIT AND MISS HERE IS GREATLY REDUCED.

Aquila Resources Inc.: Back Forty Drill Results Expand Pinwheel and Tuff Zone

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 16, 2008) - AQUILA RESOURCES INC. (TSX:AQA)(FRANKFURT:JM4A) ("Aquila" or the "Company") released results from an additional 14 drill holes of base and precious metal mineralization at the Back Forty Project in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The holes are part of an ongoing program of definition and expansion of a 43-101 compliant measured and indicated resource of 6.6 million tonnes of massive and stringer sulfides grading 2.3 grams/tonne (g/t) gold, 28.8 g/t silver, 5.3% zinc and 0.5% copper completed in March 2007. An updated resource incorporating results from 170 additional drill holes is expected to be completed this summer and will include significant expansion of identified sulfide mineralization as well as definition of peripheral precious metal mineralization.

The results reported below are from holes targeting the Pinwheel and Tuff Zone massive sulfide lenses, and include significant expansions of both zones. Drilling also encountered associated precious metal zones, and other massive and stringer sulfide mineralization. Expansions include a 150 meter strike extension of previously released Pinwheel intercepts, as well as a 30 meter down dip extension of the Tuff Zone. Highlights include:

Pinwheel Zone massive sulfide

- 16.2 meters of 8.67% zinc and 0.51% copper

Rohstoffe-Go - Stuttgart Wie Tom Albanese, Chief Executive Officer von Rio Tinto, dem weltweit drittgrößten Minenkonzern, verlauten ließ, arbeiten die Gesellschaften an den Kapazitätsgrenzen aufgrund der Rohstoffknappheit. Dies berge auch die Gefahr, dass die Anlagen und Geräte für Störungen anfälliger werden. Albanese geht davon aus, dass bei einigen Rohstoffen, wie zum Beispiel Aluminium, Eisenerz und Kupfer das Versorgungsproblem, also das Verhältnis von Angebot und Nachfrage noch Jahre anhalten wird.

U.S. Silver produces 145,000 ounces of Ag in May

2008-06-10 10:13 ET - News Release

Mr. Bruce Reid reports

U.S. SILVER REPORTS MAY SILVER PRODUCTION UP 24% OVER 1ST QUARTER 2008, PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE GALENA MINING COMPLEX

U.S. Silver Corp.'s silver production for the month of May was 145,000 ounces, which is 24 per cent higher than average production in the first quarter of 2008 and 46 per cent higher than the average monthly production in 2007. This is an annualized rate of approximately 1.8 million ounces. The company has also provided an update of operations for the Galena mining complex located in north Idaho.

Production rates

The mine averaged 640 tons per day in May, an increase of 90 per cent over the 2007 average of 338 tons per day and a 15-per-cent increase compared with numbers from the first quarter of 2008. The last 10 days of May averaged more than 720 tons per day of mill feed to the two concentrators. May's production of 145,000 ounces is the highest production level since U.S. Silver acquired the Galena mining complex. The company expects to increase production levels steadily and achieve a rate of over 250,000 ounces of silver per month by the end of 2008. Bruce Reid, chief executive officer, commented, "That these production numbers confirm that the turnaround at this operation is well under way."

Exploration drilling:


Drilling of silver-copper ore continues in the newly discovered 114 vein system on the 2400 level with recent intercepts of 4.4 feet of true width assaying 141.4 ounces per ton silver and 1.92 per cent copper, 4.1 feet assaying 134.2 ounces per ton silver and 2.14 per cent copper, and 4.4 feet assaying 114.8 ounces per ton silver and 1.28 per cent copper.
Drilling of the silver-lead ore in the same vein system (114 vein) has discovered true widths of 3.7 feet assaying 22.6 ounces per ton silver and 25.3 per cent lead, 6.3 feet assaying 16.6 ounces per ton silver and 13.6 per cent lead, and 1.9 feet assaying 36.1 ounces per ton silver and 43.9 per cent lead.
An extension of the 4 vein has been drilled on the 2400 level with a true vein thickness of 29 feet assaying 5.6 ounces per ton silver and 5.5 per cent lead.
The company discovered a new vein system on the 4000 level with assays as high as 45.3 ounces per ton silver and 0.68 per cent copper over a true thickness of five feet.
The company has continued successful drilling for an extension of the 3000 level silver-lead mineralized zone to the 4000 level with assays of 14.1 ounces per ton silver and 17.8 per cent lead over a true thickness of five feet.
Surface drilling is expected to begin this summer in an area between the Galena and Coeur mines on a known high-grade vein system. Additional surface targets include a newly discovered surface outcrop assaying four ounces per ton silver immediately above the Galena mine surface plant as well as possible updip extensions of the silver vein. The "silver vein" was the most prolific mineralized silver-copper Tetrahedrite vein in the Galena mine with over 100 million ounces of silver produced since its discovery in 1947.

Potash our next hot commodity?
New group planning $5M in exploration

By: Martin Cash

Updated: June 11, 2008 at 12:55 AM CDT

Potash may soon become one of the most sought after commodities in Manitoba.

Newly formed Western Producer Corp. has just announcedits intention to spend $5 million this summer on exploration drillingfor the important fertilizer component near Russell.

Western Potash's property is adjacent to another potential potashproperty long held by Manitoba Potash Corp., owned by the province.Details of a $15 million drilling program for that property is expectedto be announced shortly.

"We're very encouraged to see companies like Western Potash carryingout the potash drilling programs," John Fox, assistant deputy ministerof Science, Technology, Energy and Mines, said.

"Potash was originally discovered in Manitoba back in the 1950s, butmore information still needs to be gathered in the exploratory phase tofirm up what the potash resource looks like in Manitoba."

For years, Saskatchewan has been the largest potash producer in theworld, accounting for one-third of production. However, a low commodityprice has held back exploration, with no new capacity being brought onanywhere in the world in the last 25 years.

But a recent dramatic price spike brought on by aggressive economicgrowth in countries like China, India Russia and Brazil has increaseddemand for higher quality food which, in turn, has increased demand forfertilizer.

In 2006, Manitoba Potash Corp.'s 51 per cent partner in its propertywas bought by Australian mining giant BHP Billiton, the largest miningcompany in the world. It has indicated it will provide details on adrilling program at the site within the next month.

Patricio Varas, president of Vancouver-based Western Potash, said thereis a window of opportunity of high potash prices and strong demand, andthe sooner he is able to show the market what might exist on hisproperty, the better it will be.

"It is very important for us to define a deposit," Varas said. "Thewindow is not always going to be there. Whoever gets to the troughfirst gets to feed."

Varas said a clear indication that new potash production may be in theoffing is the fact that last month BHP Billiton made a $284 millionoffer to buy Anglo Potash, a Calgary exploration company with 1.5million acres of exploration rights in Saskatchewan.

Neither Billiton nor Rio Tinto, the second largest mining company inthe world, are in potash production and Varas said both are trying tochange that. Rio Tinto is developing a property in Argentina.

Ed Huebert, executive director of the Mining Association of Manitoba,said there is great upside potential for the province in potash, but itwas up to the mineral exploration companies to do more development.

Rising value prompts drilling

Who's cashing in on the potash boom? Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc.,the largest potash producer in the world, has seen its shares match therise in the commodity price. In 2002 its stock was trading at around$8. A year ago it was at about $85. It closed on Tuesday at $224.88.

Where is potash produced? Saskatchewan is responsible for about 33 percent of global production. Only 12 countries produce it including theUnited States whose volume was about 1.2 million tonnes a year (but itconsumes about 5.2 million tonnes).

What is potash used for and why is demand so high now? About 95 percent of potash is used for agricultural fertilizer and with energy andagricultural commodity prices around the world increasing along withstrong economic growth in countries like China, India, Russia andBrazil, fertilizer prices are also going up.

How have potash prices changed in the last few years? In 2005, potashmarket prices were about $131-$160 US a tonne. In 2007 they were upwell over $200 and this year it is selling at around $600 and someanalysts are forecasting it could hit $1,000 by the end of the year.

The program will comprise approximately 5,000 metres of drilling on the Kao Main, Goulagou and Rambo deposits. Much of the drilling will target the Kao Main zone which was expanded to 800 metres in length by approximately 400 metres in width during the last drill program in January and February of 2008. The zone remains open for expansion in several directions, including at depth. The objective of this phase of drilling is to define the limits of the mineralization so that a resource estimation can commence.

The Kao Main, Rambo and Goulagou gold deposits are located within a few kilometres of each other. The most advanced of these is the Goulagou deposit where previous work has identified a NI 43-101 compliant indicated near surface resource of 280,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 1.70 g/t and a further inferred resource of 270,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 1.49 g/t within the Goulagou 1 and Goulagou 2 deposits (see News Release dated October 11, 2007).

The Company's strategy is to develop sufficient gold resources within the Karma project area to support a mining operation utilizing a central processing plant. Riverstone has an initial target of developing at least 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 ounces of gold at Karma and expects to complete an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource for Goulagou as well as the first NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for the Kao Main and Rambo deposits by late 2008 (see note below).

The Company maintains a rigorous quality control program involving the use of repeat assays, inserted blanks, and the use of verifiable standards from an accredited Canadian laboratory. All RC samples are assayed using standard fire assay with atomic absorption techniques, with samples grading in excess of 2.00 g/t gold re-assayed with a gravimetric finish, at the independent Abilab Burkina SARL laboratories in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, which is part of the ALS Chemex group.

Riverstone Resources Inc. is active in gold exploration in Burkina Faso, West Africa, where the company holds an extensive portfolio of high quality exploration permits.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

Michael D. McInnis, P.Eng., CEO & President

Note: The target estimate of at least 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 ounces of gold is based on the potential for gold resources in all categories of some 20 to 25 million tonnes containing an estimated average of 1.5 g/t gold which in turn is based on a reasonable projection of the results to date from drilling the mineralized zones on the Goulagou, Kao and Rambo permits at Karma and from the existing NI 43-101 resource estimates for the Goulagou deposits. The figures are intended to provide an indication of management's expectations and are conceptual in nature. To date, insufficient exploration has been undertaken to define this size of mineral resource and therefore it is uncertain whether the target will be delineated as a mineral resource or whether production will ensue.

Marifil Acquires 100,000 Hectares of Potash Lands

Drill Hole Data Suggests Good Probability of High Grade Potash


SPOKANE, WASHINGTON -- June 16, 2008 -- Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MFM) ("Marifil" or "the Company") announces that an ongoing exploration program for potash in the Neuquen Basin in Argentina resulted in identification of two potash horizons from electric logs from an abandoned oil well drill hole.

Analysis of electric logs from this 1996 hole suggests that there are two potassium horizons as follows: an Upper Horizon from 1303 m to 1314 m followed by a Lower Horizon from 1314 m to1323 m. The Lower Horizon is of higher grade as in Rio Tinto's nearby Rio Colorado mine and can be estimated at 15-20% K2O; the grade of the Upper Horizon is estimated to run between 5 to 15% in K2O.

Rio Tinto's Rio Colorado mine has a geologic resource of two billion tons of KCl. KCl is the chemical composition of the mineral sylvite, which is highly soluble in water.

Based on this analysis the Company has staked 100,000 hectares and is now planning to conduct a NI 43-101 study of this exciting new prospect. The Company owns 100 percent of this new project.

Mr. John Hite reports, "The focus of this Company is to build value in Argentina. Recently we acquired some land with potash potential and quickly sold it to Latin American Potash, which in turn was acquired by Allana Resources. We immediately began a program to discover additional resources. This new discovery is just the second from an on going non-metallic program for coal, sulfur, potash, limestone, and phosphate. In keeping with our business plan, the Company intends to farm out or joint venture this property."

This press release has been reviewed and approved by John Hite, President of Marifil Mines Ltd. and by Richard Walters, Vice President under whose directions the exploration program is being carried out. Mr. Hite and Mr. Walters are Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

U.S. Silver produces 145,000 ounces of Ag in May

2008-06-10 10:13 ET - News Release

Mr. Bruce Reid reports

U.S. SILVER REPORTS MAY SILVER PRODUCTION UP 24% OVER 1ST QUARTER 2008, PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE GALENA MINING COMPLEX

U.S. Silver Corp.'s silver production for the month of May was 145,000 ounces, which is 24 per cent higher than average production in the first quarter of 2008 and 46 per cent higher than the average monthly production in 2007. This is an annualized rate of approximately 1.8 million ounces. The company has also provided an update of operations for the Galena mining complex located in north Idaho.

Production rates

The mine averaged 640 tons per day in May, an increase of 90 per cent over the 2007 average of 338 tons per day and a 15-per-cent increase compared with numbers from the first quarter of 2008. The last 10 days of May averaged more than 720 tons per day of mill feed to the two concentrators. May's production of 145,000 ounces is the highest production level since U.S. Silver acquired the Galena mining complex. The company expects to increase production levels steadily and achieve a rate of over 250,000 ounces of silver per month by the end of 2008. Bruce Reid, chief executive officer, commented, "That these production numbers confirm that the turnaround at this operation is well under way."

Exploration drilling:


Drilling of silver-copper ore continues in the newly discovered 114 vein system on the 2400 level with recent intercepts of 4.4 feet of true width assaying 141.4 ounces per ton silver and 1.92 per cent copper, 4.1 feet assaying 134.2 ounces per ton silver and 2.14 per cent copper, and 4.4 feet assaying 114.8 ounces per ton silver and 1.28 per cent copper.
Drilling of the silver-lead ore in the same vein system (114 vein) has discovered true widths of 3.7 feet assaying 22.6 ounces per ton silver and 25.3 per cent lead, 6.3 feet assaying 16.6 ounces per ton silver and 13.6 per cent lead, and 1.9 feet assaying 36.1 ounces per ton silver and 43.9 per cent lead.
An extension of the 4 vein has been drilled on the 2400 level with a true vein thickness of 29 feet assaying 5.6 ounces per ton silver and 5.5 per cent lead.
The company discovered a new vein system on the 4000 level with assays as high as 45.3 ounces per ton silver and 0.68 per cent copper over a true thickness of five feet.
The company has continued successful drilling for an extension of the 3000 level silver-lead mineralized zone to the 4000 level with assays of 14.1 ounces per ton silver and 17.8 per cent lead over a true thickness of five feet.
Surface drilling is expected to begin this summer in an area between the Galena and Coeur mines on a known high-grade vein system. Additional surface targets include a newly discovered surface outcrop assaying four ounces per ton silver immediately above the Galena mine surface plant as well as possible updip extensions of the silver vein. The "silver vein" was the most prolific mineralized silver-copper Tetrahedrite vein in the Galena mine with over 100 million ounces of silver produced since its discovery in 1947.

Further asset diversification by Marifil Mines
Posted by admin

Marifil Mines reported today that exploration in their new Neuqen Basin property in Argentina has resulted in the discovery of two horizons of potash, one 11 m (upper) and the other 9 m (lower) thick. The grade of the upper horizon grades 5-15% K2O and the lower at 15-20% K2O. The lower horizon is believed to be of higher grade than that currently being mined nearby at Rio Colorado, owned by Rio Tinto.

For those who have been living under a rock for the past six months, potash has become the new darling of the commodities market. Not to be confused with pot ash, the residue often found after a Deep Purple concert, potash is a variable mix of evaporite minerals: sylvite (KCl), halite (NaCl), and various oxides, carbonates, nitrates, sulfates, and phosphates of alkali metals. Potash’s main use is as a fertilizer to provide better crop yields to plants by enriching soil in elements beneficial to plant growth and resulting in enhanced crop yields. Producers such as Agrium (TSX-AGU) and Potash Corp. (TSX-POT) have seen their shares prices rise substantially in the past few months due to increased demand for food staples such as corn, soybeans, wheat, and other grains. The increased demand has led to the producers being able to negotiate for higher sale prices of potash to major producers such as China. Even juniour potash explorers such as Raytech Metals (TSX.V-RAY) have benefited from the craze. Now Marifil is getting some of the investor love, seeing its share price settle up ~24% by the end to the day to $0.445.
