Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 28, 2021) – Endurance Gold Corporation (TSXV: EDG) (OTCBB: ENDGF) has released initial assay results from its reverse circulation drill program at its Reliance Gold Property in southern British Columbia. With year-round road access, the Reliance Gold Property is located 4 kilometres east of the village of Gold Bridge and 10 kilometres north of the historic Bralorne-Pioneer Gold Mining Camp which has produced more than 4 million ounces of gold.

The planned 35-hole RC drill program is now complete. Gold assay results from the first 5 holes have identified a new high-grade gold discovery at the Diplomat Zone and have also demonstrated that the Treasure Shear is a gold mineralized structure. Both discoveries significantly open up new exploration potential on the property.

The Diplomat Zone, located 170 metres northwest of the Imperial Zone and 625 metres northwest of the Eagle Zone, is situated in the footwall of the Royal Shear. Its potential was initially identified in the Company's 2020 geological mapping and soil sampling program.

The Treasure Prospect is located 465 metres northwest of the Imperial Zone and 875 metres northwest of the Eagle Zone where a portion of the Treasure Shear is exposed in a road-cut. The Treasure Shear, a northeast southwest trending geographic linear feature located parallel to and about 300 metres east of the Royal Shear, is interpreted as the footwall bounding structure for the Royal Shear complex, a deep-seated regional structure.

Nine holes have been completed at Diplomat with results received on 5 RC Holes. Highlight gold assay results from hole RC21-024 include 16.39 grams per tonne gold over 4.57 metres commencing at 71.63 metres down-hole associated with a quartz, pyrite and arsenopyrite vein stockwork zone. Other intersections at Diplomat include 2.64 grams per tonne gold over 9.14 metres starting at just 1.52 metres below surface, 2.56 grams per tonne gold over 7.62 metres, starting at 6.10 metres, 2.62 grams per tonne gold over 6.10 metres starting at 51.82 metres, and 6.34 grams per tonne gold over 1.52 metres from 38.10 metres in RC21-024, which also hosts the high-grade gold intersection. True widths are estimated to be approximately 80% of the reported drill intersections.

Three RC holes tested the Treasure Prospect with gold results reported on the first hole, RC21-021, which intersected 1.6 grams per tonne gold over 6.1 metres starting at 35.05 metres downhole. This intersection confirms that the Treasure Shear has potential to host wide zones elevated in gold similar to the Royal Shear and provides largely untested strike potential of an estimated 2 kilometres.

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence of the RC reference samples identified significantly enriched arsenic in 22 of the 35 RC drill holes completed. Although arsenic-enriched zones have been previously identified on the Treasure Prospect, the Diplomat Zone, and in step out drilling at the Eagle Zone, this is the first identification of elevated arsenic at the Crown Zone, located between the Eagle and Imperial Zones and an additional RC hole completed recently at the Imperial Zone. For more details on the widest and strongest arsenic mineralized intervals identified please refer to day's news release.

Some of the proposed RC holes have been deferred to a diamond drilling campaign later in the season due to water inflow problems which may impact RC sample quality and the presence of intrusive dykes which will need to be better constrained with diamond drilling.

A total of 758 RC samples from 29 remaining holes have been submitted for gold assay and multi-element ICP analysis, with the results reported when received.

The company has a number of other highly prospective North American mineral properties which management considers have the potential to develop world-class deposits.

Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to materially differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: the duration and effects of the coronavirus and COVID-19, and any other pandemics on our operations and workforce, and the effects on global economies and society, risks related to the integration of acquisitions; actual results of exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; commodity prices; variations in ore reserves, grade or recovery rates; actual performance of plant, equipment or processes relative to specifications and expectations; accidents; labour relations; relations with local communities; changes in national or local governments; changes in applicable legislation or application thereof; delays in obtaining approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; exchange rate fluctuations; requirements for additional capital; government regulation; environmental risks; reclamation expenses; outcomes of pending litigation; limitations on insurance coverage as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of the Business – Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Annual Information Form, available on www.sedar.com, and Form 40-F on file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2021 / Pinetree Capital Ltd. (TSX:PNP) ("Pinetree") today announced the filing of the management information circular (the "Circular") for its upcoming annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on June 30, 2021 (the "Meeting"), which contains additional details regarding Pinetree's previously announced share consolidation and share split transaction. Notice of the Meeting has been mailed to Pinetree shareholders of record at the close of business on May 11, 2021, who are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting, and the Circular is available online under Pinetree's issuer profile at www.sedar.com and on Pinetree's website at www.pinetreecapital.com.

As previously announced, Pinetree will seek shareholder approval at the Meeting for a 100 to 1 consolidation of its common shares (the "Common Shares"), followed immediately by a 1 to 50 share split (collectively, the "Share Consolidation and Share Split").

Shareholders who hold in the aggregate less than 100 Common Shares prior to the share consolidation (which would result in less than one consolidated Common Share following the share consolidation) will receive a cash payment from Pinetree in exchange for such pre-consolidation Common Shares held equal to the number of Common Shares multiplied by the average trading price per Common Share on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to the effective date of the consolidation (the "Effective Date"), rounded down to the nearest whole cent. As such, shareholders who hold less than 100 pre-consolidation Common Shares as of the record date for the Share Consolidation and Share Split (the "Consolidation and Split Record Date") will cease to be shareholders of Pinetree.

Shareholders who hold in the aggregate 100 Common Shares or more will continue to be Pinetree shareholders following the Share Consolidation and Share Split, however any fractional interest in Common Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share after the 1 to 50 share split.

The board of directors of Pinetree unanimously recommends that shareholders of Pinetree approve the Share Consolidation and Share Split. Pinetree has an exceptionally large number of shareholders holding small numbers of Common Shares; approximately 131,517, or 1.4% of the outstanding Common Shares are held by approximately 7,168 shareholder accounts holding fewer than 100 Common Shares. This represents an average of 18 shares per holder. Having provided advanced notice such that small shareholders have had the opportunity to increase their ownership via the recently closed Rights Offering and/or through market purchases, the board believes that the Share Consolidation and Share Split will benefit Pinetree's shareholders by:

• Providing Liquidity for Small Shareholders – The Share Consolidation and Share Split provides a cost-effective liquidity option for small shareholders to sell their holdings and liquidate their investment without payment of brokerage fees that in many cases would represent all or a substantial portion of their sale proceeds.

• Reducing Administrative Costs – Pinetree spends a significant amount of money each year printing and mailing materials required by statute to shareholders. The effect of the proposed Share Consolidation and Share Split will be to reduce administrative costs associated with maintaining an exceptionally large number of small shareholders that account for a disproportionately high percentage of these administrative costs.

The Share Consolidation and Share Split requires the approval of holders representing at least two-thirds of the Common Shares that vote at the Meeting, as well as a majority of the votes cast by shareholders of Pinetree other than L6 Holdings Inc. and certain directors and senior officers of Pinetree. The Share Consolidation and Share Split is also subject to the approval of the TSX.

Pinetree will announce both the Consolidation and Split Record Date as well as the Effective Date following shareholder approval at the Meeting.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements herein may be "forward-looking" statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Pinetree or the industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the expectations discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and are made as of the date hereof and Pinetree assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances. Accordingly, when relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, Pinetree cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Some of the specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Share Consolidation and Share Split and its timing.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 28, 2021 /CNW/ – FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) ("FPX Nickel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of its 2021 Annual General and Special Meeting held on May 27, 2021.

At the meeting, the shareholders voted to set the number of Board members at six and elected Peter M.D. Bradshaw, James S. Gilbert, Peter J. Marshall, William H. Myckatyn, Robert B. Pease and Martin E. Turenne as directors of the Company to hold office for the ensuing year. The shareholders also voted in favour of the appointment of DeVisser Gray LLP as the auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and approved the Company's 10% Rolling Stock Option Plan.

The Company notes that John A. McDonald, who had served with distinction on the Board since 2009, did not stand for re-election at the meeting.

"On behalf of the Company's Board, our shareholders and myself, I would like to extend my very great appreciation to John for his many years of dedicated service," said Mr. Bradshaw, Chairman of the Board. "John has been instrumental in the evolution of the Company over the years and he will be missed. We wish him very well indeed in his future endeavours."

About the Decar Nickel District

The Company's Decar Nickel District claims cover 245 km² of the Mount Sidney Williams ultramafic/ophiolite complex, 90 km northwest of Fort St. James in central British Columbia. The District is a two-hour drive from Fort St. James on a high-speed logging road.

Decar hosts a greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy called awaruite (Ni₃Fe), which is amenable to bulk-tonnage, open-pit mining. Awaruite mineralization has been identified in four target areas within this ophiolite complex, being the Baptiste Deposit, and the B, Sid and Van targets, as confirmed by drilling in the first three plus petrographic examination, electron probe analyses and outcrop sampling on all four. Since 2010, approximately US $24 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Decar.

Of the four targets in the Decar Nickel District, the Baptiste Deposit, which was initially the most accessible and had the biggest known surface footprint, has been the focus of diamond drilling since 2010, with a total of 82 holes and over 31,000 metres of drilling completed. The Sid target was tested with two holes in 2010 and the B target had a single hole drilled in 2011; all three holes intersected nickel-iron alloy mineralization over wide intervals with DTR nickel grades comparable to the Baptiste Deposit. The Van target was not drill-tested at that time as rock exposure was very poor prior to more recent logging activity.

As reported in the current NI 43-101 resource estimate, having an effective date of September 9, 2020, the Baptiste Deposit contains 1.996 billion tonnes of indicated resources at an average grade of 0.122% DTR nickel, containing 2.4 million tonnes of nickel, plus 593 million tonnes of inferred resources with an average grade of 0.114% DTR nickel, containing 0.7 million tonnes of nickel, both reported at a cut-off grade of 0.06% DTR nickel. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

About FPX Nickel Corp.

FPX Nickel Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of the Decar Nickel District, located in central British Columbia, and other occurrences of the same unique style of naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization known as awaruite. For more information, please view the Company's website at www.fpxnickel.com or contact Martin Turenne, President and CEO, at (604) 681-8600 or ceo@fpxnickel.com.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 27, 2021) – David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PBM) ("Pacific Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Company's exploration strategy and program for its 100% owned Wheaton Creek Gold and Haskins-Reed polymetallic properties.

Wheaton Creek:

The recommended exploration includes:

• Site visit by the VP Exploration & VP Operations

• Airborne magnetic geophysics survey

• Geochemical soil survey

Diamond drilling is expected to commence in June following an initial reconnaissance by Pacific Bay staff.

From Pacific Bay Minerals' VP Exploration, Sebastien Ah Fat, P.Geo., "Wheaton Creek is a fairly underexplored prospect. We're giving it a fresh look and applying a new understanding of the geology in the area as part of our exploration strategy. It is once again an exciting property for the Company and we look forward to the results of our exploration campaign later this summer."

Wheaton Creek Highlights:

• 3,019 hectares of mineral tenures 100% owned by the Company

• 1986 drillhole 86-01 intercepted 5.38 grams per tonne of gold over 3.05 metres with visible gold

• 5-year multi-year area based (MYAB) permit in good standing

• Notice of work (NOW) application approved

Haskins-Reed:

The Haskins-Reed Polymetallic Property remains a project of merit for the Company. Work is ongoing by the management team to compile data from the historical work conducted (including 200+ drill holes into multiple mineralized zones) in order to identify additional opportunities for shareholder value creation including additional exploration/development and/or joint-venture agreement.

Haskins-Reed Highlights:

• 3,930 hectares of mineral tenures 100% owned by Pacific Bay Minerals

• High-grade carbonate replacement deposit similar to Coeur's Silvertip mine.

• 2011 high grade intercept of 102.59 grams per tonne of silver over 13.95 metres

• Adjacent to Cassiar Gold's:

  • Taurus (1M oz gold inferred resource)

  • Table Mountain (past producing and permitted high grade gold mine).

Note: all above reported intercepts are core lengths only as the true width of the structures has not yet been determined.

Corporate Development:

In addition to work being done on current portfolio properties, the Company has been active in implementing its strategic growth plan. Given strong precious metals markets, the management team continues to evaluate accretive acquisitions of brownfield projects meeting specific target criteria including those where:

• Early exploration has been completed

• Established resource with the potential for expansion

• Near term pathway to commercial production and sustained cashflow

Additional fundraising and corporate development activities are planned for the third/fourth quarter of 2021 to meet the Company's growth objectives.

The Company's VP of Operations, Antonio Vespa, comments, "Our vision is to eventually become a junior metals producer. Our management team is doing great work in bringing forth projects to evaluate that meet our criteria and could potentially help us drive shareholder value."

Sebastien Ah Fat, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, approved the technical information in this release.

West Desert Option Agreement

InZinc entered into an option agreement dated April 15, 2021 (the "Option Agreement") with American West Metals Limited ("American West"), a private Australian company, pursuant to which InZinc granted to a wholly-owned subsidiary of American West an option ("Option") to earn a 100% interest in InZinc's West Desert project ("West Desert") located in Utah, USA. The Option Agreement is subject to, among other things, shareholder approval. The TSX Venture Exchange granted conditional approval of the option agreement subject to shareholder approval at an InZinc meeting of shareholders.

About InZinc

InZinc is focused on growth in zinc through exploration and expansion of the advanced stage West Desert project (100%) in Utah and exploration of the early-stage Indy Sedex project (100% option) in British Columbia.

Indy is readily accessible by road from Prince George, the major hub for transportation and heavy industry in central British Columbia and is located 85 kms south of the Canadian National Railway. The West Desert option agreement (100% option to American West Metals, a private Australian company) will provide InZinc continuing leverage as American West Metals advances the West Desert project in Utah to prefeasibility.

ENS earnings call for the period ending March 31, 2021.

Nickel 28 Capital Corp. ("Nickel 28" or the "Company") (TSXV: NKL) (FSE: 3JC) is pleased to announce a proposed normal course issuer bid to repurchase its common shares. In the opinion of management and the board of directors of the Company, the common shares have recently traded in a price range that represents a substantial discount to the Company's net asset value and does not reflect the underlying value of the Company.

"Using Nickel 28’s excess liquidity to buy back common shares at their current trading price would be highly accretive to our net asset value per share and represents the highest rate of return on an investment that the Company could make," stated Anthony Milewski, the Company’s Chairman. He continued, "Accordingly, the purchase for cancellation of shares by Nickel 28 during these times will benefit the remaining shareholders by increasing their proportionate ownership in the Company."

Nickel 28 has submitted a notice of intention to undertake a normal course issuer bid to the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") in connection with the purchase by Nickel 28 of up to 7,478,209 of its common shares, representing 8.7% of the 85,701,844 common shares comprising Nickel 28’s total issued and outstanding common shares as of May 26, 2021. All common shares purchased by Nickel 28 will be purchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV in accordance with the rules, regulations and policies of the TSXV and will be cancelled. The actual number of common shares which may be purchased, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by Nickel 28. Decisions regarding purchases will be based on market conditions, share price, best use of available cash, and other factors including other options to expand the Company’s portfolio of assets.

The normal course issuer bid remains subject to the approval of the TSXV and will begin on the date that is two trading days after the TSXV's approval and will be open for a maximum period of 12 months. A further news release with additional details of the normal course issuer bid will be issued upon approval of the bid by the TSXV.

(Bloomberg) —

Australia’s pro-fossil fuels government and one of the country’s top coal producers won a climate change court battle against an elderly nun and a group of Greta Thunberg-inspired teenagers.

The decision clears the way for Whitehaven Coal Ltd. to seek final go-ahead for a mine expansion aimed at producing as much as 10 million tons a year of mostly metallurgical coal, used in steel-making.

Even in dismissing an injunction seeking to halt the project, Judge Mordy Bromberg acknowledged the expansion would have a “tiny but measurable” impact on climate change, and ruled that Australia’s Environment Minister Sussan Ley must consider the future impacts on young people from a warmer planet when granting approvals.

It’s a decision that contrasts with a wave of clear-cut climate victories this week as investors revamped board rooms and judges forced operators to accelerate emissions cuts. An activist shareholder on Wednesday ousted two Exxon Mobil Corp. directors seen as insufficiently attuned to the threat of a warmer planet, while Royal Dutch Shell Plc was ordered to slash emissions faster than planned.

The Australia case was mounted by a group of eight teenagers who are involved in the School Strike 4 Climate Australia protest group and Sister Brigid Arthur, who acted as a so-called litigation guardian.

“Internationally, we’re seeing the transition to net zero accelerating across all sectors,” said Zoe Whitton, a Sydney-based executive director at Pollination, a climate change advisory and investment firm. “We see investors in both debt and equities moving rapidly towards transition aligned assets, and asking companies with concentrations in fossil fuels to find ways to pursue new opportunities.”

Lawsuits from the U.S. to the Philippines are seeking to press governments and companies to make faster efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting wildfires to floods and droughts that scientists argue are being exacerbated by climate change.

Germany’s highest court last month forced lawmakers to bring forward its net zero emissions goal by five years after ruling existing law put young people’s futures at risk by leaving most emissions cuts until after 2030. Whitehaven’s win comes a day after a Dutch court ordered Shell to accelerate its work to cut emissions, a ruling seen as likely to have repercussions across the global fossil fuels industry.

Campaigners had been correct to argue Environment Minister Sussan Ley has a duty of care to protect Australia’s youth from the future impacts of greenhouse gas emissions, though those issues would likely be considered under an existing process of granting approvals to mine projects, Judge Bromberg said at the Federal Court of Australia in Melbourne.

The campaigners viewed the judgement as a win as it established the government has a duty of care to protect young people from the ravages of climate change, said 17-year-old Ava Princi, one of the teenagers behind the case. The teenagers will now make submissions to the court on how Ley should exercise that duty, she said in an emailed statement.

“My future — and the future of all young people — depends on Australia stepping away from fossil fuel projects and joining the world in taking decisive climate action,” she said.

Sydney-based Whitehaven said the legal case was without merit and will aim to proceed with the expansion.

“The company sees a continuing role for high quality coal in contributing to global CO2 emissions reduction efforts while simultaneously supporting economic development in our near region,” the producer said in a statement.

Whitehaven shares rose 2.3% in Sydney trading, trimming their decline this year to 6.7% as investors weigh longer-term prospects for the sector. Benchmark coal prices at Newcastle, one of the world’s biggest export terminals, have risen by almost a third.

Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who once brandished a lump of coal in parliament in support of the fuel, has declined to set a hard target date to reach net-zero emissions, drawing criticism from investors and allies, including the U.S.

The Whitehaven ruling will be a boost for fossil-fuel exporters as Australian lawmakers increasingly tie an economic recovery from the country’s first recession in three decades to the energy sector. Australia is among the world’s biggest exporters of liquefied natural gas and coal.

A look at the shareholders of IGO Limited (ASX:IGO) can tell us which group is most powerful. Insiders often own a large chunk of younger, smaller, companies while huge companies tend to have institutions as shareholders. Companies that used to be publicly owned tend to have lower insider ownership.

IGO is a pretty big company. It has a market capitalization of AU$5.5b. Normally institutions would own a significant portion of a company this size. Our analysis of the ownership of the company, below, shows that institutions are noticeable on the share registry. We can zoom in on the different ownership groups, to learn more about IGO.

Check out our latest analysis for IGO

What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About IGO?

Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices.

IGO already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of IGO, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.

Hedge funds don't have many shares in IGO. Yandal Investments Pty Ltd is currently the largest shareholder, with 8.9% of shares outstanding. With 7.9% and 6.0% of the shares outstanding respectively, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. and Fidelity International Ltd are the second and third largest shareholders.

A deeper look at our ownership data shows that the top 25 shareholders collectively hold less than half of the register, suggesting a large group of small holders where no single shareholder has a majority.

Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. There are plenty of analysts covering the stock, so it might be worth seeing what they are forecasting, too.

Insider Ownership Of IGO

The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.

Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own less than 1% of IGO Limited. We do note, however, it is possible insiders have an indirect interest through a private company or other corporate structure. It is a pretty big company, so it would be possible for board members to own a meaningful interest in the company, without owning much of a proportional interest. In this case, they own around AU$26m worth of shares (at current prices). It is good to see board members owning shares, but it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.

General Public Ownership

The general public holds a substantial 50% stake in IGO, suggesting it is a fairly popular stock. This level of ownership gives investors from the wider public some power to sway key policy decisions such as board composition, executive compensation, and the dividend payout ratio.

Private Company Ownership

We can see that Private Companies own 12%, of the shares on issue. It might be worth looking deeper into this. If related parties, such as insiders, have an interest in one of these private companies, that should be disclosed in the annual report. Private companies may also have a strategic interest in the company.

Next Steps:

It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand IGO better, we need to consider many other factors. Consider risks, for instance. Every company has them, and we've spotted 3 warning signs for IGO you should know about.

But ultimately it is the future, not the past, that will determine how well the owners of this business will do. Therefore we think it advisable to take a look at this free report showing whether analysts are predicting a brighter future.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation (“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS) reports that the Company has completed the first phase of exploration of the Kettle Valley epithermal gold/silver occurrence. The exploration objective was to identify the bedrock sources of an extensive boulder train of angular mineralized (>.25 ppm to 2.34 ppm Au) quartz-carbonate material.

Goldcliff excavated nine trenches spanning 600 metres in an NNW-SSE direction. Overburden cover proved to be deeper than anticipated and, in many areas, bedrock was covered by highly cemented glacial till. Sufficient outcrop was, however, exposed in most trenches for sampling.

Near the southern end of the trenching abundant quartz-carbonate talus was traced up-slope (westerly) resulting in the discovery of a bedrock source on a cliff face. This discovery, the Cliff Zone, prompted a prospecting and sampling traverse following outcrop ledges and the base of cliff faces up hill and westerly of all the trenches. The traverse successfully traced a quartz-carbonate zone for 700 metres in an NNW-SSE strike direction. The quartz-carbonate Cliff Zone displays silicification, brecciation, multiple phases of quartz-carbonate veining, and quartz stockwork veining. Banded vein textures, bladed calcite and amethyst were also observed with the latter quite common in the southern part of the zone. These characteristics are consistent with low sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag deposits. Clay alteration seen in trenches downhill and <100 m east of the Cliff Zone may be the result of structural and hydrothermal activity.

Trench sampling comprised 53 rock and 10 glacial till samples. The prospecting traverse yielded 48 rock and 47 soil samples. Samples were shipped in secure sample bags by courier to MSA Labs in Langley, BC for 51 element ICP-MS analysis. In addition to MSA Lab's QA/QC protocols, Goldcliff's QA/QC program included insertion of standards and blanks into the sample stream.

Subsequent to completion of this first phase of exploration, Goldcliff has acquired by staking an additional 336 hectares of mineral tenures.

Warner Gruenwald, P. Geo., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has approved the technical content of this news release.

ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX – Toronto Stock Exchange, G1MN – Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz, L&S Exchange, TTM Zone, Stock Exchanges and GLBXF – OTCQX International in the US) is pleased to inform shareholders that it has received notice from Electric Royalties Ltd. (ELEC-TSXV) that it has entered into a revised letter of intent (LOI) with Sprott Resource Streaming and Royalty (Sprott) regarding Electric Royalties’ and Sprott’s engagement to purchase Globex’s Mid-Tennessee zinc royalty. In order to facilitate completion of the purchase, Globex has agreed to several changes to the terms of the purchase agreement as outlined below:

• Cash payment: Under the revised agreement, Globex will receive an additional $500,000 for a total of $13,750,000 of which $250,000 has already been paid.

• Share payment: Under the revised agreement, Globex will receive 9,000,000 Electric Royalty shares and 5,500,000 four-year warrants with an exercise price of $0.60 per share. Under an acceleration clause, after 2 years, should the Electric Royalties share price exceed $1.00 for 10 consecutive days, Globex must exercise 2,750,000 warrants at $0.60 per share. Likewise, after 3 year, should the Electric Royalties share price exceed $1.50 for 10 consecutive days, Globex must exercise 2,750,000 warrants at $0.60 per share.

Under the revised agreement, Globex will, excluding warrants to be exercised at a later date, have slightly less than a 20% shareholder stake in Electric Royalties and thus, shareholder approval will not be required for the transaction. The closing date of the transaction has been extended 21 days in order to get required approvals and final legal documents but it is expected that the sale of Globex’s Mid-Tennessee zinc royalty will be completed before that date as Sprott has now committed to the entire cash portion of the purchase price (see Electric Royalties/Sprott press release of today’s date).

Globex is pleased with Electric Royalties’ progress toward closing the purchase transaction. At closing, Globex expects to have over $27,500,000 in cash and shares of other listed companies as well as the 5,500,000 Electric Royalties warrants. In addition, Globex is working to complete several other transactions which, if finalized, will generate additional revenue for the company.

This press release was written by Jack Stoch, Geo., President and CEO of Globex.

• Despite multiple demands, Mr. Smith, to the detriment of all Fancamp shareholders, has illegally refused to provide critical technical and financial information belonging to the Corporation, forcing the Corporation to pursue additional legal action.

• Mr. Smith and his slate of nominees have also refused to confirm that, if elected, they will not use the Corporation’s funds to repay themselves for the costly proxy fight Mr. Smith started.

• The Smith Nominees have also refused to confirm they will maintain the integrity of the independent forensic investigation into Mr. Smith, effectively helping him hide his wrongdoings.

• Further to the May 12, 2021 announcement, KPMG has been retained to assist the Special Committee with its independent forensic investigation into Mr. Smith’s numerous misconducts.

Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp" or the "Corporation") (TSX Venture Exchange: FNC) today announced it will file an Application for a Safeguard Order (the "Application") with the Quebec Superior Court to obtain critical technical and financial information belonging to the Corporation from Mr. Peter H. Smith, a Director of Fancamp, and its former President and CEO.

Fancamp also notes that Mr. Smith’s May 25, 2021 press release is full of rhetoric and contains little substance. Mr. Smith’s argument is that he feels he is being treated unfairly – not that he hasn’t committed the actions outlined in the Corporation’s prior press releases – simply because the Board of Directors (the "Board") is holding him accountable for his actions.

Why the Application Was Needed

Despite multiple demands, Mr. Smith, to the detriment of all Fancamp shareholders, has ignored requests to preserve the information in his hands and has refused to return:

• Technical and financial information, including reports on Fancamp’s mining properties

• Banking information related to Fancamp or any of its subsidiaries

• Any correspondence and/or emails between Fancamp and its partners, third parties and shareholders

• Documents regarding contractual obligations and other agreements such as option agreements, access agreements, drilling or other exploration contracts and waivers

These critical items are needed for Fancamp to properly operate its business. Mr. Smith’s refusal is illegal and shows a complete disregard for the interests of Fancamp and its shareholders – the exact opposite of what one would expect from a director exercising their fiduciary duties.

Shareholders should be worried: for 30 years, Mr. Smith operated in secret – personally keeping all of the Corporation’s documents and taking personal possession of Fancamp’s office – in order to implement his self-serving agenda. Fancamp has started to uncover some of Mr. Smith’s misconduct, and believes his stonewalling is an attempt to conceal further damaging facts. This stonewalling, combined with the refusal of the directors nominated by Mr. Smith ("Smith Nominees") to confirm that they will not frustrate the investigation into his activities, raises a very real concern that a vote for Mr. Smith’ s nominees is a vote against accountability for Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith’s History of Blatant Refusal and Obstruction

The Board has repeatedly tried to reason and work with Mr. Smith, but he has refused. While he was Director, President and CEO, the Board simply asked Mr. Smith:

• To be transparent about negotiations with third parties

• To use common governance and accountability practices, such as getting Board approval prior to spending shareholders’ money, initiating projects and providing budgets

• To comply with the securities laws that apply to him as a director, such as ensuring confidentiality and duty of loyalty

These are legal obligations and best practices, expected of all directors, yet Mr. Smith dismissed them entirely.

Mr. Smith’s Cover-Up Continues – Now With the Help of His Friends

Not only is Mr. Smith hiding information, the Smith Nominees are now helping him as well. Since Mr. Smith has refused to hand over the information in his possession, when his notice of nomination of directors was received, Fancamp was forced to ask the Smith Nominees to confirm they will:

• Not seek reimbursement from the Corporation for any costs they have incurred in their efforts to replace the Board

• Not hinder or cease the Corporation’s ability to complete the formal independent investigation into Mr. Smith

• Not interfere with or end the litigation brought by the Corporation against Mr. Smith

• Not interfere or dismiss any regulatory investigation involving Mr. Smith

The Smith Nominees have refused to respond to these simple requests. Their excuse is they do not want to "fetter their discretion with respect to future actions relating to the Company" if they are elected to the Board. They had no such concerns about the ScoZinc transaction, and have already announced that they will vote against it.

This double standard, selective application of excuses, and lack of commitment is clear evidence that the Smith Nominees plan to take shareholders’ money to reimburse themselves for the proxy fight Mr. Smith started and guard Mr. Smith from accountability. It is also a clear indicator about how they will behave – and whose interests they will look out for – if they are elected to the Board. It is in this context that the current Board is considering the validity of Mr. Smith’s advance notice nomination and the eligibility of the Smith Nominees themselves to serve on the Board as independent directors.

If Mr. Smith chose to behave the way he did with a Board who tried to hold him accountable for his destructive actions, imagine what he will do if his friends and associates become the Board. With no one to watch him, hold him accountable or put in place the appropriate checks and balances, Mr. Smith will have free reign to do as he pleases.

Mr. Smith has also complained about Fancamp’s Advance Notice Policy – a policy he created while he was in charge of the Corporation. Again, the double standard is clear: Mr. Smith believes policies and procedures do not apply to him or his friends.

Along with his notice of nomination of directors, Mr. Smith also submitted an unnecessary and redundant proposal of protocols for the AGM. The Corporation has reviewed the proposals and finds them needless and completely off-market. The Board fully recognizes the importance of a fair contested meeting. The Corporation’s AGM and the process leading up to it will be conducted with integrity and in a transparent manner, in accordance with the Corporation’s by-laws and all other legal requirements, recognized practice and with a view to the best interest of all shareholders.

What Else Is Mr. Smith Hiding?

Fancamp has strong reason to believe that a full investigation, with access to all of the relevant information, will uncover even more damning information about Mr. Smith. Further to the May 12, 2021 announcement, the Special Committee has hired KPMG International Limited ("KPMG") to assist with its independent forensic investigation into Mr. Smith. The Special Committee believes that retaining KPMG is in the best interest of the Corporation and its shareholders. It will ensure accurate information is presented so that shareholders can make a fully informed decision at Fancamp’s AGM.

The Corporation is disappointed that it is being forced to incur the expense of having had to file an Application, in addition to the civil claim, but Mr. Smith’s ongoing destructive actions has left it no choice. Fancamp continues to believe that Mr. Smith’s stonewalling is a blatant self-serving attempt to conceal damaging facts about his actions and derail the progress of the Corporation until the AGM.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT, BVL:DNT) ("Candente Copper”, “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire up to 100% interest in the Canyon Creek copper project in northwestern British Columbia (“B.C.”), Canada.

B.C. hosts 13 districts of copper-rich deposits in the production and development stage within two major zones (Quesnel and Coastal/Stikine volcanic-plutonic arc – terranes). The most prominent deposits are the Red Chris, Galore Creek, Schaft Creek, Kemess North, Mount Milligan in the north; and Highland Valley and Copper Mountain in the south. Many of these deposits produce both copper and gold.

The Canyon Creek property is located in the northwestern end of the Quesnelia Zone (Terrane) approximately 160 kilometres (“km”) from the Red Chris Mine, 15 km from a main highway and 60 km from the town of Dease Lake.

Canyon Creek comprises 24 square kilometres covering a discrete bullseye copper-molybdenum-silver anomaly delineated by regional stream sediment survey. The property also covers large areas with anomalous levels of molybdenum (“Mo”) and copper (“Cu”) in soils extending over 5 km by 2 km and is open. Mo ranges from 10 to 270 parts per million (“ppm”) and Cu ranges from 40 to 780 ppm. Please see: https://www.candentecopper.com/projects/canyon-creek-bc-canada/ for maps.

Prospecting has identified two separate zones of Cu and Mo mineralization, in outcrops of quartz veining and stockwork zones containing chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) and molybdenite (molybdenum sulphide). These two areas cover 800 metres (“m”) by 300m and 400m by 400m, respectively. Mineralization, found on surface to date, grades up to 1.56% Cu; up to 0.1% Mo and up to 17.6 grams per tonne (“g/t”) silver (“Ag”).

The mineralization, soil anomalies and geophysical anomalies appear to be associated with an altered quartz monzonite porphyry which intrudes rocks of the Quesnel Terrane. Large granodiorite to quartz monzonite plutons are affiliated with the Quesnel Terrane of B.C. Overall, quartz-monzonite plutons form the largest world class deposits of Cu-Mo-Au and Cu-Mo. Examples are Edernet with 1.78 billion tonnes of 0.62% Cu and 0.025% Mo, Chuquicamata, 6.45 billion tonnes of 0.55% Cu and Bingham Canyon, 3.24 billion tonnes of 0.88% Cu, 0.02% Mo and 0.5 g/t Au.

The property is also situated adjacent to a major NNW striking fault (the Thibert Fault) and close to a 70 km long E-W striking lineament.

Previous Exploration

Over $1 million has been spent at Canyon Creek by previous explorers dating back as far as 1971 when Dolmage Campbell/UMEX conducted IP and ground Magnetics and apparently drilled 4 holes, although this has not been verified. Since then, Cassiar Asbestos Corp. (1971), Noranda (1978), Paget Resources (2008) and Sirius Resources (2012) have conducted stream sediment and soil sampling; geological mapping, prospecting and rock chip sampling; airborne Fugro MAG (1317 line km); ZTEM (200 line km). There is no evidence that any of these groups conducted any drilling.

Terms of the Agreement

The Company has entered into a legally binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with property owner Chris Baldys. The LOI provides for the following:

Acquire 100% Interest (subject to Royalty*) by:

1. Issuing a total of 1M shares over 5 years (by November 30, 2025)

2. Funding exploration activities to keep the claims in good standing until December 2027 (approximately Cdn$45,000 per year)

Of the above the following is a Firm Commitment:

• Issue 50,000 shares within 14 days of signing and receiving TSX approval

• Issue an additional 50,000 shares by November 30, 2021

• Funding exploration activities totalling a minimum of $42,000 by December 31, 2021

*Royalty:
The Vendor will be granted a royalty equal to 1.5% of net smelter returns. The Company has the right to buyback the first 0.5% for $500,000 and the second 0.5% for an additional $1.5M.

The owner advises that there are no legacy issues, no surface rights activity and no other issues that would limit orderly exploration work (Notice of Work) applications.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2021 /CNW/ – FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) ("FPX" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an overview of an expanded exploration program starting in June at the Company's Decar Nickel District ("Decar") in central British Columbia. In addition to the drill programs at the Baptiste Deposit and the Van Target (see the Company's May 10, 2021 news release), regional exploration will focus on prospective under- and un-explored areas within this 245 square kilometre ("km²") ophiolite complex.

Highlights

• FPX to conduct regional mapping and surface sampling within the Decar land package at the existing Sid and B targets and at five new prospective areas

• Work at Sid and B designed to potentially expand the footprint of known mineralization and investigate the ground located between the two targets, where previous drilling has generated positive results

• Reconnaissance exploration in five prospective new areas, which have been identified on the basis of high magnetic response from previous airborne surveys, limited previous sampling work and/or improved access to outcrop resulting from recent clear-cut logging activity

"With plans to conduct infill drilling at Baptiste and a maiden drill program at the Van Target this summer, we are excited to conduct additional exploration around the Sid and B targets, plus regional exploration at five other under-explored areas at Decar," commented Martin Turenne, FPX's President and CEO. "The exploration potential at the Decar Nickel District remains vast and offers a compelling opportunity to expand the nickel endowment beyond that already demonstrated at Baptiste, which is the world's third largest undeveloped nickel deposit.*"

Figure 1: Decar Nickel District with airborne magnetic survey results showing the location of the Baptiste Deposit, Van target and additional exploration areas

Sid and B Targets

Surface exploration will be conducted this summer to further refine and expand the areas within, surrounding and between the Sid and B Targets, located approximately 3 and 4.6 km, respectively, north-northwest of the Baptiste Deposit. The Sid target was tested with two holes in 2010 and the B target had a single hole drilled in 2011; all three holes intersected nickel-iron alloy mineralization over wide intervals with nickel grades comparable to the Baptiste Deposit (see Tables 1 and 2, below).

Table 1 – Results of Previous Drilling at Sid Target

The holes at Sid were drilled to test the depth extent of mineralized ultramafic rock outcrops located west of the drill hole locations. Both holes were drilled to the southwest at an inclination of 60 degrees and were located 325 metres apart on the inferred northwestern boundary of the Sid target area.

Table 2 – Results of Previous Drilling at B Target

New Exploration Areas

The Company has identified five prospective new areas within the Decar claims group on the basis of high magnetic response from previous airborne surveys and, in certain areas, from limited previous sampling. In certain of these areas, recent logging activity by forestry companies has removed significant ground cover, and it is anticipated that additional areas of outcrop which have been previously inaccessible will now be uncovered. The regional exploration work will involve mapping and rock sampling, size estimations of awaruite (the nickel-iron alloy) and Davis Tube Recoverable ("DTR") nickel analysis.

Area 1 is located approximately 1 km north of the Baptiste Deposit. There is only one previous outcrop sample within this area, grading 0.08% DTR nickel. The possible trend extension of the B and Sid target into the northwest part of this area will also be investigated.

Areas 2 and 4 are located southeast of the Van target. Sampling of outcrop has not previously been conducted in these areas, but recent clear-cut logging activity has provided new access to determine if outcrop zones have been exposed in these portions of the Decar claim group.

Area 3 is located approximately 3 km northeast of Baptiste. Previous limited outcrop sampling completed over Area 3 has returned coarse-grained awaruite with DTR nickel grades ranging from 0.07% to 0.131%.

Area 5 is along an apparent northwest-southeast trend to the northwest of the Van Target. No surface sampling has previously been completed within this area but there is recent logging activity which may have exposed new outcrops.

*Note: The Baptiste Deposit ranks as the world's third largest undeveloped nickel deposit, according to Mining Intelligence (see https://www.mining.com/featured-article/ranked-worlds-top-10-nickel-projects)

Dr. Peter Bradshaw, P. Eng., FPX Nickel's Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.

About the Decar Nickel District

The Company's Decar Nickel District claims cover 245 km² of the Mount Sidney Williams ultramafic/ophiolite complex, 90 km northwest of Fort St. James in central British Columbia. The District is a two-hour drive from Fort St. James on a high-speed logging road.

Decar hosts a greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy called awaruite (Ni₃Fe), which is amenable to bulk-tonnage, open-pit mining. Awaruite mineralization has been identified in four target areas within this ophiolite complex, being the Baptiste Deposit, and the B, Sid and Van targets, as confirmed by drilling in the first three plus petrographic examination, electron probe analyses and outcrop sampling on all four. Since 2010, approximately US $24 million has been spent on the exploration and development of Decar.

Of the four targets in the Decar Nickel District, the Baptiste Deposit, which was initially the most accessible and had the biggest known surface footprint, has been the focus of diamond drilling since 2010, with a total of 82 holes and over 31,000 metres of drilling completed. The Sid target was tested with two holes in 2010 and the B target had a single hole drilled in 2011; all three holes intersected nickel-iron alloy mineralization over wide intervals with DTR nickel grades comparable to the Baptiste Deposit. The Van target was not drill-tested at that time as rock exposure was very poor prior to more recent logging activity.

As reported in the current NI 43-101 resource estimate, having an effective date of September 9, 2020, the Baptiste Deposit contains 1.996 billion tonnes of indicated resources at an average grade of 0.122% DTR nickel, containing 2.4 million tonnes of nickel, plus 593 million tonnes of inferred resources with an average grade of 0.114% DTR nickel, containing 0.7 million tonnes of nickel, both reported at a cut-off grade of 0.06% DTR nickel. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

About FPX Nickel Corp.

FPX Nickel Corp. is focused on the exploration and development of the Decar Nickel District, located in central British Columbia, and other occurrences of the same unique style of naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization known as awaruite.

• Visible gold also is identified in two of three archived legacy drill cores from 2006, during re-logs. These are within the Phase 2 ‘Lone Star Deep' drill target area.

• Phase 1 drilling at Virgin and Lindow Targets complete (see details below).

• Dulac Mining has begun placer mining operations on the Company's Upper Eldorado Creek placer property. Klondike Gold has received the first royalty (10%) payment of 2021 comprised 0.5 ounces flake gold from a total 4.5 ounces gold recovered during start-up equipment testing.

Peter Tallman, Klondike Gold's CEO stated, "Visible gold in the second 2021 hole at Lone Star Zone is an excellent boost to the start of the season, as is identifying visible gold in two pertinent historic holes by previous management. The ‘behind the scenes' work by our team collecting and modelling structural, geochemical and geologic data is responsible for the Company's confidence in the Lone Star East and Lone Star Deep targets. It is a great start to a breakout season. Credit to the team as a steady and methodical exploration approach over this historic district begins to pay dividends."

PHASE 2 LONE STAR ZONE TARGETS

Phase 2 drilling begins with the focus on outlining a maiden resource within the 3,000+ meter length of Lone Star Zone. The Lone Star Zone footprint from 50-meter spaced drilling is currently 950 meters by 200 meters size (see Figure 1). The majority of 2021 drill meterage will be expended testing for expansions of Lone Star Zone mineralization in two informally named target areas: Lone Star Deep and Lone Star East. The Lone Star Deep target comprises a 600 meter by 200 meter panel the Company is simultaneously testing for near surface, across-strike mineralization as well as for down-dip continuation of the Lone Star Zone to 250 meters below surface. Recent examination of legacy 2006 holes within the Lone Star Deep target encouragingly identified visible gold near surface in two of the three holes (see Figure 1 for 2006 hole location).

The Lone Star East target is a 250 meter by 200 meter panel that tests for eastern continuation of Lone Star Zone gold mineralization. Drilling in 2021 has begun here and visible gold is noted in the second drill hole of the Phase 2 program, LS21-399, at 42.2 meters downhole within an interval typical of Lone Star Zone gold mineralization.

PHASE 1 VIRGIN AND LINDOW TARGETS UPDATE

Phase 1 drilling is complete with a total of 356 meters of core drilled in five holes; three at Virgin Mine and two at Lindow targets. Drill operations were difficult in steep terrain and core recoveries were poor and blocky, resulting in short holes. Logging and sampling of these holes is in progress. At least one of the Virgin target holes intersected alluvial white channel gravel perched on a side-hill bench above bedrock; not of economic interest to the Company, but a reminder of the link between gold rush era placer gold and modern exploration.

DULAC MINING ON UPPER ELDORADO CREEK PLACER

Dulac Mining has resumed placer mining operations on the Company's Upper Eldorado Creek placer property and has completed the first gold ‘clean up' of 2021. Klondike Gold has received 0.5 ounces of gold flakes from a total of 4.5 ounces gold recovered from material processed during start-up equipment testing as first royalty (10%) payment of 2021. In 2020 Dulac Mining recovered 500 ounces placer gold (as fines, coarse flakes, and nuggets) with the Company receiving 50 ounces placer gold in royalty payment.

Exploration Continues on Gold-Silver Targets Identified in Phase-1 Diamond Drilling

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 26, 2021 / Brigadier Gold Limited (the "Company" or "Brigadier") (TSXV:BRG)(FSE:B7LM)(OTC PINK:BGADF) is pleased to announce the discovery of bulk tonnage type copper mineralization in trenching and further results from exploration of newly identified gold targets at its Picachos gold-silver-copper project Sinaloa, Mexico (the "Picachos Project," "Picachos" or the "Property"). Additional assays from phase-1 diamond drilling are anticipated to be received in June.

Pichachos, located approximately four hours' drive from the city of Mazatlan, covers 3,954 hectares and overlaps one of the largest high-amplitude contiguous anomalies for gold and base metals in the western Sierra Madre with values up to 6841 ppb Au in fine-fraction, active channel stream sediments.

Rob Birmingham, President and CEO, remarks, "We're proud of the team effort put into acquiring, financing, and driving exploration and development at Picachos. Exploration and diamond drilling efforts led by head geologist Michelle Robinson, have successfully identified an extensive mineralized vein system and numerous targets for follow up investigation, including a large, unexplored copper porphyry target situated in the northern part of the Property. We look forward to implementing a cost-effective approach aimed at further de-risking Picachos and building on the technical success achieved to date."

Copper Discovery

Brigadier has initiated trenching across historic anomalies considered prospective for bulk-tonnage style copper mineralization. Trench BRG-50250 was located approximately 2 kilometres south of a trench cut by Brigadier across several hundred metres of molybdenite in the winter of 2020. The first 50 metres of BRG-50250 have been sampled and analyzed using the field XRF and returned copper values between 0.05% and 1.34% and silver values between 20g/t and 284g/t. These samples will be sent to the lab when the trench is complete and mineralized intervals formally reported after that.

La Gloria Gold Target

Brigadier has completed mapping and sampling of the historic La Gloria underground gold mine in the central part of its Picachos Project. In 2020, Brigadier intercepted La Gloria in DH-BRG-028 between 140 and 141 metres depth where a value of 6.26 g/t gold across 1 metre was returned. This intercept was 112 metres below the historic workings. In the plane of the vein, the known underground workings are 60 to more than 130 metres below topography. Collectively, diamond drilling and the underground workings define the position of La Gloria Vein for more than 240 metres down-dip.

La Gloria stope is accessed by a 105 metre long cross-cut at the 950 metre elevation that trends easterly. The cross-cut and drill hole locations are now tightly controlled by a high-resolution airborne LiDAR survey recently completed by Eagle Mapping. From the portal, La Gloria cross-cut and stope was surveyed using a Brunton and tight chain.

From the mine portal to 71 metres, the host rocks consist of intermediate volcanics that are dark grey-green and contain amygdules that are filled with quartz, chlorite and calcite. The stope was mapped for approximately 35 metres northwest of the cross-cut and 65 metres to the southeast. La Gloria Vein strikes 155°-160° and dips 80°-65° southwesterly.

Samples were cut every metre along the cross-cut to identify any metal bearing veins or veinlets in the hanging wall to La Gloria and clean off the dust for geological mapping. In the stope, the historically worked faces form a honeycomb and samples were cut across the back or working faces where rock conditions were safe for sampling. Fifteen sample lines of one to three samples each were collected across the vein and these have been submitted today to SGS in Durango for gold and base metal analyses. Gold is apparent in panned concentrates of several samples.

Drill Results Pending

Assays are still pending for 518 metres of drilling completed in phase-one, most of which is from a 3-hole fence drilled across El Placer Norte where underground sampling returned grades of up to 12.79 g/t across the Huarache Vein. Perhaps more significantly, a surface trench across the El Placer trend returned values of 0.5 g/t gold across 65 metres in BRG-117154. This was followed by 8 metres of 2.14 g/t gold in adjacent trench BRG-117146.
