Focus Graphite, Soquem hire Met-Chem for Kwyjibo PEA



2017-10-02 12:31 ET - News Release



Mr. Gary Economo reports

FOCUS GRAPHITE AND SOQUEM LAUNCH PRELIMINARY ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THEIR KWYJIBO RARE EARTH ELEMENT PROJECT IN NORTHERN QUEBEC; MET-CHEM SELECTED TO CONDUCT STUDY

Focus Graphite Inc. and partner Soquem Inc. have engaged Met-Chem of Montreal, a division of DRA Americas Inc., to undertake a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) of their Kwyjibo polymetallic/rare earth element/copper-iron-phosphate project, located in the Cote-Nord administrative district of northeastern Quebec.

Met-Chem/DRA is a globally recognized expert in mine and infrastructure design, including construction and mine operations, resource mapping, metallurgy, cost assessment, process design and administration. They have direct experience in the REE sector having prepared: pre-feasibility studies (PFS) on the Zandkopsdrift and Steenkampskraal REE projects in South Africa and on the Browns Range Project in Australia.

On behalf of the Joint Venture partners, Focus Graphite President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Economo said: "We are pleased to have Met-Chem/DRA leading the PEA on Kwyjibo. Met-Chem/DRA is a highly skilled and reputable engineering firm with individual team members that have a wealth of professional experience on a variety of projects throughout the world, including REE projects."

Mr. Economo said the decision to undertake the PEA study coincided with a number of encouraging market factors, chief among them, a significant rise in market prices during the first half of 2017 for neodymium and praseodymium.

"And, with Germany, France and the United Kingdom announcing plans to end the production of cars equipped with combustion engines starting in 2030, conditions appear to be favourable for a resurgence in investment momentum, especially for non-Chinese REE explorers," Mr. Economo said. "The recent resurgence in rare earth elements prices also reflects growing demand as a result of the Paris Agreement on climate action globally, but more in particular China's REE production cuts as it rationalizes its REE mining industry {A –} in support of its policy to electrify China's transportation and other industries," said Mr. Economo.

According to the Nikkei Asian Review, China, which produces some 85% of the world's supply of rare earths, is looking to curtail supply by enforcing environmental rules and targeting illegal REE mining operations.

Rare earth materials are critical for the construction of solar photovoltaics, wind electricity generators and energy storage technologies, among other industrial applications.

The Roskill Consulting Group reported in an August 3, 2017 rare earths market update, "the increase in certain rare earth element (REE) prices in H1 2017, particularly for neodymium (Nd) and praseodymium (Pr) products, has brought renewed interest to the rare earths industry after prices stagnated in 2016. China FOB Nd oxide and Pr oxide prices increased 20% to US$48.4/kg REO and 21% to US$61.5/kg REO respectively between January and July 2017, whilst Chinese domestic prices for the same products increased by 23% and 24% during the same period." (This update is available on the Roskill website at https://roskill.com/news/rare-earths/)

And, the World Bank, in its June, 2017 Study entitled: "The Growing Role of Minerals and Metals for a Low Carbon Future" indicates the universal focus towards slowing global warming creates opportunities for nations to explore and exploit potential REE resources.

"It is striking that aside from China, Brazil, India, and Malaysia there are no recorded production, reserve, or resource data for rare-earth metals available from any developing country regions. Although these critical metals can be found in these areas, no concerted efforts have been undertaken to accurately map their existence," the report said.

Mr. Economo said the PEA Study undertaking with Met-Chem/DRA, when completed, and, if positive, could lead to further investigation of the Kwyjibo Project's feasibility as a potentially new North American rare earths source.

Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Kwyjibo project

The PEA will be based on promising hydrometallurgical test results from lab-scale work being conducted at Hazen Research Inc. of Golden, Colorado. On November 21, 2016, Focus and SOQUEM announced results from the 2014-2015 chemical leaching test work program conducted on two composite drill core samples from the Magnetite and Lower Breccia zones of the Josette horizon. The tests and subsequent purification steps are supervised by Mr. Eric Larochelle, P. Eng., a metallurgical consultant part of Met-Chem/DRA's team of experts.

Highlights of that test work included:

A distinct and relatively simple metallurgical flowsheet when compared with those of peer rare earth element projects

A very high leach extraction rate of approximately 90% from rare earth concentrate for all rare earth elements for the massive Magnetite Mineralization Type ("MM1")

Met-Chem/DRA commenced work on the PEA on August 1, with a view to completion of its report by late 2017 or early 2018.

Focus Graphite issues Lac Knife long-term test results



2017-09-28 13:21 ET - News Release



Mr. Gary Economo reports

FOCUS GRAPHITE REPORTS EXCELLENT LONG TERM CYCLING RESULTS FROM ITS TESTING OF LAC KNIFE HIGH PURITY SPHERICAL COATED GRAPHITE; LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES SHOW ZERO CAPACITY LOSS AFTER 250 CYCLES

Focus Graphite Inc. has released excellent results from continuing independent laboratory tests comparing long-term cycling performance of Lac Knife surface coated spherical crystalline fine-flake graphite against commercially competitive standard grades of coated crystalline flake graphite in the anodes of CR2016 coin cells.

The results presented are a follow-up from data presented in Focus's Nov. 25, 2015, news release where similar tests were run on Lac Knife standard-grade spherical graphite. Those tests exhibited essentially zero loss in capacity after 110 cycles versus two commercially competitive grades that showed losses of 4.4 per cent and 6.4 per cent over the same number of cycles.

Testing was conducted at a globally recognized laboratory in Europe. The name of the laboratory is being withheld because of commercial and competitive confidentiality.

Continuing life cycle testing

On Nov. 25, 2015, Focus Graphite published data showing that its Lac Knife standard grade of uncoated and coated spherical graphite exhibited essentially zero loss in capacity after 110 cycles versus two commercially competitive grades that showed losses of 4.4 per cent and 6.4 per cent over the same number of cycles.

In a presentation to the International Battery Seminar in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on March 26, 2017, Dr. Joseph Doninger, Focus's director of manufacturing and technology, presented long-term cycling test results showing that the zero loss in capacity of the standard grade of coated spherical graphite lasted for 250 cycles and showed a loss of only 4.5 per cent in capacity after 570 cycles, compared with losses of 11.7 per cent after 440 cycles and 10.5 per cent after 510 cycles for a competitive supplier's coated spherical graphite.

He said that projecting these results suggests that Lac Knife's coated spherical graphite could last beyond 2,000 cycles in full-sized batteries. "A good rule of thumb to use in comparing the long-term cycling performance of different graphites in lithium-ion batteries is determining how many cycles a battery will last before losing 20 per cent of its capacity," Dr. Doninger said.

Focus Graphite is the sole owner of the high-purity Lac Knife natural flake graphite project in the Cote-Nord region of northeastern Quebec.

The company's aim is to become one of the lowest-cost producers of high-purity technology graphite. The purpose of its continuing battery materials testing efforts is to validate the commercial viability of the high-purity crystalline flake graphite recovered from its Lac Knife deposit and to demonstrate that Lac Knife graphite holds the potential to improve the performance of anodes in lithium-ion batteries (see May 27, 2014, and Feb. 26, 2015, news releases).

The properties of the flake graphite recovered from the Lac Knife high-quality and high-carbon-content graphite deposit allow for the recovery of concentrate that grades 98 per cent carbon even in the finer size fractions down to 200 mesh (75 microns) that are usually the most difficult products to sell. This holds the potential for Focus to create a high-margin business opportunity by providing customers with a finer-grade, lower-cost, value-added graphite product.

Battery manufacturers require a cost-competitive alternative to current sources of synthetic and natural flake graphite. China produces the majority of the world's purified spherical graphite, using methods generally regarded as environmentally unsustainable.

Presentation of data

All Lac Knife flake graphite materials tested were purified, spheronized and sized for application in the anodes (negative electrodes) of lithium-ion batteries. The anodes for all samples tested consisted of 90 per cent graphite, 7 per cent PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) binder and 3 per cent carbon black and a copper coil current collector with a thickness of 20 microns. All cells were assembled and tested in a CR2016 coin cell configuration prepared with 1M LiPF6/EC/DMC electrolyte and lithium foil counterelectrodes. The coin cells were then cycled between 0.003 volt and 1.5 volts. Formation was carried out with C/10 current density and cycling was carried out with the same voltage limits at C/10. To evaluate the cycling performance, half cells made with the lithium metal counterelectrode were charged and discharged at a relatively low current density and cycled galvanostatically at a C/10 rate until the limit of the test was reached.

Focus is currently engaged in battery testing with more than 20 potential end-users and seven universities and government laboratories.

Focus has established a recent history of technological successes by designing processes leading to superior performing coated spherical graphite for use in battery anodes and high-performing expanded graphite for use in lithium-ion battery cathodes.

The company's proprietary, low-temperature process, developed by a Focus Graphite technical team headed by Dr. Doninger, is believed to be more efficient than very high temperature thermal purification and is suitable for the removal of specific types of impurities found in the Lac Knife graphite deposit.

The path from graphite product development to the battery manufacturers' testing labs is a lengthy, multistep process.

Staged research and development testing is a prerequisite to the sale, or offtake, of any manufactured graphite for use in lithium-ion, alkaline and lead-acid batteries in the automobile, consumer, medical equipment, tools, hand-held industrial devices and aviation manufacturing industries, or with military equipment suppliers.

Orosur Mining to drill 15,000 m at Anza starting Oct.



2017-10-02 07:01 ET - News Release



Mr. Ignacio Salazar reports

OROSUR MINING ANNOUNCES UPCOMING DRILL PROGRAM AT THE HIGH-GRADE ANZA GOLD PROJECT, COLOMBIA

Orosur Mining Inc. is providing an update on the upcoming diamond drilling program at its wholly owned, high-grade Anza gold project located in the Mid Cauca gold belt in Colombia.

Highlights

Completed $4-million ($3.2-million (U.S.)) financing in August, 2017, to finance drilling in Colombia;
Engaged Logan Drilling Group International for up to 15,000 m of diamond core drilling, contract signed on Sept. 29, 2017;
Preparatory work in place to commence drilling in October, 2017;
Expect first drilling results to be announced in the company's fiscal third quarter (Q3 ending February, 2018);
Objective is to delineate maiden resources and further define and expand mineralization potential.


Ignacio Salazar, chief executive officer of Orosur, comments:

"We are pleased to announce that the resource definition drilling campaign at our high-grade Anza project in Colombia will start in October, 2017, following the successful $3.2-million (U.S.) financing in August and recent contract execution with Logan Drilling. Orosur is well advanced with its preparatory work for the drilling campaign and Logan is in the process of mobilizing drill rigs to the property at present. We look forward to commencing the drilling campaign before the end of the month."

The drilling program is designed to further define and expand the potential mineralization at the Aragon-Pastorera trend area (APTA) of the Anza project as well as initial testing of highly prospective targets nearby. The program will include infill and stepout drilling with the intent to prepare and publish a maiden National Instrument 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate for the Anza project.

Preparatory technical and logistical work for the first two months of the drilling campaign has been completed and includes the construction of drill platforms for the first seven holes, an assurance of adequate water supply, and ensuring that all legal, social and environmental permitting is in place. Geological staff and supporting crews are ready while preparatory work for the rest of the campaign is nearing completion.

About Anza

Anza is located in the Western Cordillera, 50 kilometres west of the city of Medellin, 50 km south, along the Cauca lineament, of Continental Gold's high-grade Buritica gold project (4.7-million-ounce measured and indicated (M&I) resource, grading 11.4 grams per tonne gold) and 70 km from Red Eagle's San Ramon project (479,000 ounces M&I resource, grading 3.5 g/t Au) which is a vein-like gold deposit in a shear zone with a similar mineralization style as the APTA in a different geological environment.

As previously announced in October, 2016, initial preliminary metallurgy and density testwork were completed utilizing a combination of gravity concentration, flotation and cyanidation processing, with average gold recoveries ranging from 95.9 per cent to 96.1 per cent. This is in line with the metallurgical recoveries of development projects and producing mines in the region.

The site has environmental permits enabling both underground and open-pit mining operations. The Anza project includes two small underground gypsum mines, each of which also have environmental and mining permits granted by the Colombian authorities. Historically, the gypsum mines have been operated by a third party contractor; Orosur is currently in the process of taking over operatorship. The gypsum permits can be readily expanded, enabling Orosur the ability to fast-track permitting for future gold mining operations.

Access to the project is via a paved road to the town of Anza and a 17 km gravel road operable year-round. The gypsum mine has been in operation at the site since 1991. It has excellent infrastructure, with power grid, abundant water and mine facilities on-site. The elevation ranges from 700 m to 2,000 m above sea level.

The APTA deposit is up to 200 m wide and at least 2.5 km long, with soil geochemistry showing gold content along the entire seven km Aragon fault. The deposit is open on strike, at surface and downdip. Significant drill hole intercepts are shown in the associated table.

The Anza land package, which is wholly owned by Orosur, includes multiple additional highly prospective potential gold targets. In addition to the APTA, there is an extensive area of more than 100 square kilometres open to exploration. Charrascala and Guaimarala are two of the most highly promising additional gold targets. At Charrascala, there are existing outcrops with gold and copper mineralization. Favourable topography, existing infrastructure and the existence of a wide low-grade gold envelope in the Anza land package provide further exploration, development and mining upside, all with strong indications of the potential for significant byproduct mineralization.

Chalice Gold to drill West Pilbara soon



2017-09-29 09:32 ET - News Release



Mr. Tim Goydner reports

WEST PILBARA GOLD PROJECT: NEW GOLD AND BASE METAL DRILLING PROGRAMS TO COMMENCE AS CHALICE EXPANDS ITS TENEMENT HOLDING TO ENCOMPASS PROSPECTIVE BASAL CONGLOMERATE TARGETS

Chalice Gold Mines Ltd. will shortly commence a new reverse circulation (RC) and air core drilling program at its West Pilbara gold project in Western Australia, having received all required clearances and permits. The West Pilbara project is subject to an earn-in and joint venture with Red Hill Iron Ltd.

The proposed drill program, which is scheduled to commence in early October, 2017, will follow up on gold targets at Wyloo East, Urandy, Kens Bore and Derek's Bore, and on copper targets at Red Hill and Wyloo West.

Drill programs have been planned following a review of the encouraging gold and copper rock chip results previously reported (see Australian Stock Exchange quarterly activities report dated July 31, 2017, available on SEDAR) and the completion of gradient array induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys at the Red Hill, Derek's Bore and Wyloo West prospects. A total of up to 4,000 m of air core and 2,500 m of RC drilling will be completed.

Gradient array IP surveys (25.8 line kilometres) have been completed across two copper targets (Red Hill and Wyloo West) and one gold target (Derek's Bore) to follow up high-grade surficial copper and gold results in rock chips. Higher grade rock chip results hosted within hydrothermal quartz breccias at Red Hill and Wyloo West typically range between 1 to 10 per cent Cu with a maximum result of 29 per cent Cu from the Red Hill prospect, while surface gold in brecciated rock chips at Derek's Bore peak at 9.48 grams per tonne Au and 12.3 g/t Au at Kens Bore (see attached table).

Several priority IP chargeability anomalies (over 25 volts per megavolt) have been defined at the Red Hill prospect and will be the focus of systematic RC drilling to further assess these anomalies. Several lower priority (less than 15 v/mV) IP chargeability targets have been identified at the Wyloo West prospect and will be the focus of systematic AC drilling as an initial test of the anomalies.

No significant chargeability targets were identified at Derek's Bore although the anomalous rock chip results are coincidental with a well-defined zone of low chargeability, the significance of which remains uncertain but may be caused by alteration. A small RC program is designed to further assess the anomaly.

First-pass RC drilling has also been planned at the Ken's Bore prospect, which hosts high-grade gold in limonitic rock chips up to 12.3 g/t Au within a well-defined (250 by 250 m) gold-in-soil anomaly.

In addition to the targeted RC drill programs described above, regional AC programs (240 holes) have been planned along the greater Wyloo West and Urandy gold trends and the B2 copper plus zinc trend. These programs are regional in nature with the primary objective of geologically and geochemically vectoring into targets of potential interest.

Increased landholding

Based on the encouraging exploration results received to date, Chalice has applied for 10 exploration licences (see attached table) covering a total area of 881.3 square km located to the south of Pannawonica in the West Pilbara.

The tenements, to the west and south of the existing West Pilbara project area, cover the continuation of the major structures paralleling the southern and western margins of the Hamersley basin and the stratigraphy of the Ashburton and Fortescue group. Chalice will immediately embark on an assessment of the application area to confirm (or not) the presence of the basal conglomeratic unit of the Fortescue group. This highly prospective unit hosts some of the recently reported gold discoveries in the Pilbara by companies including Novo Resources, Artemis Resources and De Grey Mining. In addition, Chalice's tenement applications are adjacent to Novo Resources' tenements in the Wyloo Dome area.

Background -- West Pilbara project

The 1,390 square km West Pilbara project is located approximately 160 km south-southwest of Karratha and has contiguous coverage of 90 km of strike of prospective geology along the contact between the Ashburton and Hamersley basins, referred to as the Paraburdoo Hinge zone, and is defined by regional fault/shear zones.

The region is underexplored for both gold and base metals and the southwest boundary of the property is approximately eight km from Northern Star Resources' multimillion-ounce Paulsens gold mine. The project (excluding the newly secured tenement applications above) is subject to a farm-in and joint venture whereby Chalice can earn up to a 51-per-cent interest in the non-iron rights from Red Hill Iron (and up to 70 per cent if Red Hill elects not to contribute at this stage).

Sampling techniques and verification

Results from rock chip sampling undertaken on gold and base metal targets including Wyloo West, Dereks Bore, Kens Bore, B2, G1 and Red Hill copper prospects are summarized in the attached table. A total of 130 samples were collected and submitted to ALS in Perth Western Australia. Samples were analyzed using ICP-AES and MS analysis after aqua regia digestion. Fifty-three elements were analyzed including gold at a two-part-per-billion detection limit. Sampling was carried out under Chalice's standard protocols and quality assurance/quality control procedures which are industry standard practice and involve the insertion of standards (including blank standards) and the collection of duplicate samples. Quality assurance/quality control has been checked with no apparent issues. Note: No duplicate samples are collected for rock chip samples.

Chalice plans $7.5M (Australian) exploration program



2017-07-04 09:30 ET - News Release



Mr. Tim Goyder reports

CHALICE ANNOUNCES A$7.5M EXPLORATION PROGRAM IN CANADA AND AUSTRALIA TO ADVANCE HIGH PRIORITY DRILL TARGETS

Chalice Gold Mines Ltd. has proposed a fiscal year 2018 $7.5-million (Australian) exploration initiative to advance its high-priority gold and base metals targets in its current property portfolio (see attached table). Chalice's exploration strategy has focused on acquiring exposure to projects, either through direct ownership or joint venture, hosted in terranes with outstanding metal endowment that also have the key geological features to host Tier 1 deposits. These include the East Cadillac gold project in the prolific Abitibi gold district in Quebec, Canada; the Warrego North iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) project in the Tennant Creek gold-plus-or-minus-copper mineral field of the Northern Territory, Australia; and the Latitude Hill nickel project and the gold and base metals districts of the West Pilbara in Western Australia.

Chalice's exceptional balance sheet of $53-million (Australian) in cash and liquid assets means the company is well positioned to rapidly escalate exploration activities based on success.

Chalice's managing director, Tim Goyder, stated: "Chalice has systematically assembled a global exploration portfolio that offers outstanding potential for new discoveries in some of the best exploration addresses in the world. It is now time to evaluate the potential of this portfolio, and we are in the enviable position of having the balance sheet and the in-house technical expertise to support a mid-tier-scale exploration effort without diluting our shareholders at the company or project level."

Exploration project overviews

East Cadillac gold project, Quebec, Canada

The East Cadillac gold project covers 107 square kilometres and is 35 kilometres east of the 20-millin-ounce Val d'Or gold camp. With a strike length of 16 kilometres encompassing the Larder Lake-Cadillac fault, the most prolifically gold-endowed trend in southern Abitibi, the project is a located amongst some of the region's most significant mines and is adjacent to the historical Chimo gold mine (owned by Cartier Resources).

The project includes an initial indicated mineral resources of 225,000 tonnes at 4.17 grams per tonne (g/t) gold for 30,200 ounces of gold and an inferred mineral resource of 1,112,000 tonnes at 4.09 g/t gold for 146,300 ounces of gold at the Nordeau gold deposit, which the company considers to have substantial growth potential.

No modern surface geochemistry, geological mapping or structural analysis has been completed in the district. The company has analyzed historical exploration information and merged this data with results from recent exploration activities undertaken by Chalice. This compilation will provide the basis for an integrated approach to exploration targeting over the company's consolidated land position.

The project comprises 100-per-cent-owned Chalice claims and option and farm-in agreements with Globex Mining Enterprises and Richmont Mines.

Kinebik gold project, Quebec, Canada

The 100-per-cent-owned Kinebik gold project covers 187 square kilometres, including 30 kilometres of strike of the Casa Berardi fault, which hosts Hecla Mining Company's Casa Beradi multimillion-ounce gold mine and numerous other gold occurrences. Chalice has identified three strong geochemical anomalies, which will be prioritized with an induced polarization survey and diamond drilling.

Warrego North IOCG project, Northern Territory, Australia

The Warrego North project is approximately 20 kilometres northwest of the historical high-grade Warrego copper-gold mine in the western part of the Tennant Creek mineral field in the Northern Territory, Australia. Warrego was the largest deposit mined in the area with historical production of 1.3 million ounces of gold and 90,000 tonnes of copper from five million tonnes of ore at eight g/t gold and 2 per cent copper in a classic IOCG geological setting. Chalice can earn up to a 70-per-cent interest in the project from Meteoric Resources NL by sole financing $800,000.

The company's first diamond drill hole at Warrego North, WND17-001, targeted a coincidental magnetic gravity and IP chargeability anomaly, and intersected chalcopyrite in magnetite ironstones grading eight metres at 1.74 per cent copper and 0.42 g/t gold between 249 and 257 metres in downhole depth. Pervasive chlorite-sericite alteration indicates the potential for an extensive hydrothermal system, which is a characteristic of IOCG deposits. A follow-up ground IP survey will systematically test extensions to known copper-gold mineralization and also assess the broader Parakeet magnetic gravity anomaly for additional mineralized magnetite ironstone bodies.

Latitude Hill nickel project, Western Australia

The 990.5-square-kilometre Latitude Hill project was acquired to provide Chalice with a countercyclical investment opportunity in an underexplored region that is highly prospective for massive and disseminated nickel-copper-platinum-group-metals sulphide deposits similar to the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper sulphide deposit in the Albany-Fraser orogen. The project is subject to a farm-in and joint venture whereby Chalice can earn up to a 70-per-cent interest with Traka Resources Ltd. High-quality spectrem airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey completed in 2012 by Anglo American identified seven priority conductors that were not followed up following Anglo American's withdrawal from Western Australia, where a royalty was exchanged as consideration for its JV interest in the Latitude Hill project. None of these priority conductors have been subject to ground-based exploration.

West Pilbara gold and base metals project, Western Australia

The 1,390-square-kilometre West Pilbara project is located approximately 160 kilometres south-southwest of Karratha and has contiguous coverage of 90 kilometres of strike of prospective geology along the contact between the Ashburton and Hamersley basins, referred to as the Paraburdoo Hinge zone and defined by regional fault/shear zones. The region is underexplored for both gold and base metals, and the southwest boundary of the property is approximately eight kilometres from Northern Star Resources' Paulsens multimillion-ounce gold mine. Chalice acquired the project based on the identification of numerous Carlin-style and vein/shear-hosted gold prospects and breccia-hosted copper mineralization from previous work.

The company looks forward to updating shareholders on and the results of this substantial exploration initiative as results are received.

Chalice Gold sells Oklo, First Mining shares



2017-05-02 10:16 ET - News Release



Mr. Tim Goyder reports

CHALICE GOLD MINES LIMITED - CORPORATE UPDATE

Chalice Gold Mines Ltd. has lodged a Form 605 -- notice of ceasing to be a substantial holder in Oklo Resources Ltd. following the sale of approximately 23.4 million shares in Oklo at a price of 24 Australian cents for proceeds of $5.6-million (Australian). The sale has resulted in a profit of approximately $800,000 (Australian) and it is expected that the company will be able to utilize tax losses to offset any capital gain.

In addition, since March 31, 2017, Chalice has sold a further two million shares in TSX Venture Exchange-listed company First Mining Finance for proceeds of $1.4-million. Since completing the sale of the Cameron gold project to First Mining Finance in 2016 for 32.3 million shares in First Mining, Chalice has now sold 25 million shares for proceeds of $21.3-million.

Chalice continues to hold 7.3 million shares in First Mining Finance which have a current market value of $4.4-million (Australian).

As a result of the above-mentioned transactions Chalice will have cash at bank of approximately $49-million (Australian).

Chalice continues to seek quality resource projects internationally through direct ownership. The company is also concurrently advancing several exciting exploration projects which will include significant drilling programs at the East Cadillac gold project in the world-class Abitibi province in Quebec, Canada, and the untouched potential of the Latitude Hill nickel project in the Musgrave province of Western Australia.

Algold Resources samples up to 100 g/t Au at Tijirit



2017-10-03 07:25 ET - News Release



Mr. Francois Auclair reports

ALGOLD EXTENDS HIGH GRADE SALMA VEIN TO 3 KM STRIKE

Algold Resources Ltd. has released assay results, including high-grade values of 100 grams per tonne gold and 89 g/t Au, from rock chip panel (one square metre) sampling carried out on the new Salma vein at the corporation's Tijirit project in Mauritania. Assay results from the samples, which were gathered during recent systematic 50-metre-spaced pitting and trenching exploration activities, extend the known gold mineralized structure to three kilometres on strike.

Highlights

100 g/t Au -- in pit (10 m below the surface), one-square-metre panel sample;
100 g/t Au -- in pit (seven m below the surface), one-square-metre panel sample;
88.9 g/t Au -- in pit (9.5 m below the surface), one-square-metre panel sample;
25 samples grading higher than 10 g/t Au, one-square-metre panel samples;
75 samples grading higher than 1.0 g/t Au, one-square-metre panel samples;
Average grade of 10.0 g/t Au (104 rock chip samples);
Average grade of 13.3 g/t Au for samples grading greater than one g/t Au (75 rock chip samples).


Trenching and pitting program assay results grading up to 100 g/t Au and 88.9 g/t Au were recorded from a series of pits dug over a three-kilometre strike. The Salma vein represents the newest high-grade discovery at Tijirit, located only five kilometres from the Eleonore and the Lily veins. The Salma vein has now been traced over a three-kilometre-long mineralized gold structure situated on the prospective granite-greenstone contact zone. Results from the Salma vein were not included in Algold's most recent National Instrument 43-101 technical report.

The results from the rock chip sampling program continue to demonstrate the significant potential for the identification of additional high-grade gold zones throughout the more than 25-kilometre-long Eleonore corridor. The 104 rock chip samples, which were gathered over an area of one by one m, taken at the base of a series of one to 10 m deep pits, were collected during detailed mapping traverses. Importantly, of the 104 samples, 25 samples assayed graded higher than 10 g/t Au with 75 grading over 1.0 g/t Au.

The pitting and trenching sampling was carried out during the month of August, 2017, concurrently to Algold's phase III drilling program, which also concluded during the month. Algold expects to receive additional results from its phase III drilling program assays in the coming weeks, approximately 5,000 of which are still pending.

Granite contact zone

The eastern boundary of this contact is located 3.6 kilometres east of Eleonore and extends to the north for approximately nine kilometres. Auriferous quartz veins have been identified over much of this contact, located within a potential pressure shadow setting. All of these results are sited outside the area of the mineral resources currently defined on the property (reference: Algold's press release dated June 15, 2017).

"These results highlight the compelling potential of the new Salma vein to rapidly add substantial high-grade resources at the Tijirit project," said Algold chief executive officer Francois Auclair. "We continue to focus on building and expanding upon the existing and new mineralized zones, which are all within very close proximity."

Detailed geological descriptions of all mineralized zones can be found on Algold's website and on SEDAR in the report entitled "Algold 43-101 Technical Report: Tijirit Maiden Mineral Resources Estimates for the Tijirit Gold Project in Mauritania."

VANCOUVER, Sept. 14, 2017 /CNW/ - Triumph Gold Corp., (TSX-V: TIG) (OTCMKTS: NFRGF) ("Triumph Gold" or the "Company") announces the completion of its 2017 field season. The 2017 exploration campaign began in late May and focused on the Company's 100% owned, road accessible, Freegold Mountain property, located approximately 80 kilometres northwest of Carmacks, Yukon Territory, Canada. Work on the property included thirty-five diamond drill holes totaling 12,904 metres in the Revenue and Nucleus areas, over 600 metres of trenching and collection of 993 soil samples at Tinta Hill, and reconnaissance work on a dozen other showings and prospects. In addition to work conducted by Triumph Gold, geological mapping of the property and surrounding area was supported by the Yukon Geological Survey and conducted by researchers at the Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) of the University of British Columbia. Triumph Gold geologists also conducted reconnaissance mapping and sampling on their 100% owned Severance (YT), Tad/Toro (YT), and Andalusite Peak (BC) properties.

Geochemical results from the 2017 field season have been considerably delayed compared to previous years due to the exceptionally high volume of samples being produced in Yukon. During the second half of the exploration program samples were shipped to Thunder Bay rather than Whitehorse for more expedient processing. Geochemical results from drilling and other sampling programs will be released in the upcoming weeks as the data are received and reviewed.

Studie: Trotz Booms bei E-Autos bleiben Batterie-Rohstoffe bezahlbar Lithium elektromobilitaet
BERLIN (Dow Jones)--Trotz des weltweiten Nachfragebooms bei Elektro-Autos werden die Preise für die Rohstoffe zur Herstellung der Batterien einer Studie zufolge nicht durch die Decke schießen. "Die Rohstoffversorgung wird für die Elektromobilität kein Hinderungsgrund sein", erklärte Christian Hochfeld, Direktor des Forschungsinstituts Agora Verkehrswende, bei der Vorstellung der Ergebnisse in Berlin.

Die Vorkommen der wesentlichen Metalle und Mineralien, die für die Fertigung der Batterien benötigt werden, übersteigen laut der Untersuchung "Elektromobilität und Rohstoffversorgung" den Bedarf deutlich. Die Forscher gehen davon aus, dass bis 2030 der Lithium-Ionen-Akku der Standard für E-Autos bleiben wird. Zur Herstellung werden Lithium, Kobalt, Nickel, Grafit und Platin verwendet, die bis auf Kobalt in mehreren Ländern nennenswert abgebaut werden. Kobalt wird hauptsächlich im Kongo unter häufig menschenunwürdigen und für die Umwelt extrem schädlichen Bedingungen gewonnen. Die Studie empfiehlt deshalb die Einführung unternehmerischer Sorgfaltspflichten für Bergbaukonzerne und Batteriehersteller, wie sie heute schon für andere Bodenschätze wie Wolfram festgeschrieben sind.

Wegen des weltweit nötigen Siegeszuges von Elektro-Fahrzeugen, ohne den der Kampf gegen den Klimawandel nicht gewonnen werden kann, dürfte sich beispielsweise die Förderung von Lithium bis 2030 von heute 30.000 Tonnen pro Jahr auf 150.000 Tonnen verfünffachen. Die weltweit für den Abbau erschlossenen Reserven liegen jedoch um ein Vielfaches höher.

Selbst wenn die Kosten für die Batterie-Rohstoffe steigen sollten, wird der Effekt für die Käufer von E-Autos in Zukunft wohl gedämpft, weil durch die anlaufende Massenproduktion in riesigen Fabriken die Kosten der Akkus generell fallen werden. Heute liegt der Anteil der Rohstoffe an den Gesamtkosten für die Herstellung einer Batterie bei knapp über 10 Prozent.

Deutschland hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, ein Leitmarkt für Elektromobilität zu werden und bis zur Mitte des Jahrhunderts weitgehend auf Verbrennungsmotoren zu verzichten. Copyright (c) 2017 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

First Cobalt Receives Positive Mineralogical Results
http://www.marketwired.com/press-re...ralogical-results-tsx-venture-fcc-2236156.htm
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 5, 2017) - First Cobalt Corp. (TSX VENTURE:FCC)(OTC:FTSSF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the initial results from a mineralogical assessment of sample material from various historical mines throughout the Cobalt Camp in Ontario, Canada.

Highlights

High grade vein style mineralization containing up to 9.22% cobalt and over 5,300 g/t silver found in muckpiles throughout the Cobalt Camp can be considered representative of historic mineralization styles and useful for mineralogical tests
Similarity of cobalt minerals in all types of veins allows for a consistent processing system for the various deposits throughout the camp
Disseminated and fracture-controlled mineralization styles, as found at the Bellellen and Haileybury Mines, with cobalt values of 0.25% and 0.5% occur in the same mineral phases, thus can be processed using one system
While generally lower in abundance, there may be opportunities for the metallurgical recovery of copper and nickel

Trent Mell, President & Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We are finding high grade values in various mineralization styles, including disseminated and fractured mineralization styles, which is supportive of our strategy for the Cobalt Camp. In addition, these mineralogical test results are encouraging as they suggest that both cobalt-rich and silver-rich mineralization styles may be processed using similar flowsheets. The Cobalt Camp is rich with muckpiles located in proximity to historic mines and they provide an opportunity to study discarded material previously mined underground without the additional cost of drilling. The results of this study support further work to assess the muckpiles for processing, and they could potentially be a future source of initial ore."

Headline: Studie:*Für E-Autos mehr Recycling von Rohstoffen nötig

Herausforderungen

Berlin (dpa) - Für mehr Elektroautos muss laut einer Studie der Nachschub
wichtiger Rohstoffe besser gesichert werden. Zwar gebe es weltweit genug
Lithium, Kobalt, Graphit und Nickel für die Batterieproduktion, ergab die
Untersuchung des Freiburger Öko-Instituts.

Die Vorkommen würden aber möglicherweise nicht rasch genug erschlossen, so dass
das Angebot speziell an Lithium und Kobalt zeitweise knapp werden könnte und die
Preise so steigen dürften. Notwendig sei daher mehr Recycling, etwa durch feste
europaweite Quoten. Empfohlen wird auch, die Industrie auf Umwelt- und
Sozialstandards in den Förderländern zu verpflichten.

«Die Elektromobilität ist der Schlüssel für die Energiewende im Verkehr», sagte
Christian Hochfeld, der Leiter der privaten Forschungsgesellschaft Agora
Verkehrswende, die die Studie in Auftrag gegeben hat. Die Akzeptanz von
Elektroautos hänge aber auch davon ab, ob die Rohstoffe zu vernünftigen
wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Bedingungen gewonnen werden können.

Mindestens bis zum Jahr 2030 bleibe die Lithium-Ionen-Batterie Standard bei
Elektroautos, prognostizierte Studienautor Matthias Buchert. Um das Ziel zu
erreichen, die Erderwärmung bis 2100 auf zwei Grad Celsius zu begrenzen, werde
sich in der Batterieproduktion allein der Lithiumbedarf bis 2030 verfünffachen
und Mitte das Jahrhunderts etwa das Fünfzehnfache des heutigen Werts erreichen.
Bei Kobalt wird bis 2030 eine Verdoppelung erwartet. Basis sind
E-Auto-Verkaufsprognosen der Internationalen Energie-Agentur (IEA).

Gerade die Kobalt-Förderung sei wegen Menschenrechtsverletzungen und Gewalt im
Kongo eine Herausforderung. Wie bei Zinn, Wolfram und Gold müsse es verbindliche
Sorgfaltspflichten für Unternehmen geben, sagte Buchert: «Es geht nicht, dass
wir bei Kaffee und Kakao uns viele Gedanken machen, aber bei strategisch
wichtigen Produkten beide Augen zudrücken.»

Citroens Autosharingableger Multicity hat in Berlin aufgegeben.....die Flotte bestand zum größten Teil aus Elektroautos.....eine Begründung war die mangelhafte Infrastruktur von Lademöglichkeiten, kaum Aubau und die vorhandenen sind zu oft belegt oder einfach zugeparkt..........

der Ganze "Elektrozauber" klappt nur mit entsprechender Aufladetechnik......im vertretbaren Zeitrahmen. NUr wenn die Masse der Menschen umsteigt gelingt es..mMn
stell mir das gerade in Berlin vor einer Hochhaussiedlung vor
gut geht es wahrscheinlich nur mit Elektro-Tankstellen (10 Minuten für einmal Akku 80%)
