TORONTO, Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: BMK, OTC: MCDMF) (“MacDonald Mines” or the “Company”) announces that Mia Boiridy has left the organization, effective immediately.

Stuart Adair, CPA, CA, MA, BA, a member of the Board of Directors of MacDonald Mines and Chair of its Audit Committee, has been designated as the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer effective September 8, 2021. Mr. Adair has extensive financial and operating experience as a “C” suite executive and will provide support, direction, and guidance to MacDonald Mines’ Management during this transition.

MacDonald Mines priorities are to continue with our business plan, deliver on our exploration models, and maintain a stable and effective organization. The Board of Directors has commenced a search for a new CEO. We thank Mia for her contributions and wish her success in her future endeavours.

MacDonald Mines also reports on results from its Summer 2021 mechanized stripping, channel sampling and regional prospecting program at its 100% owned SPJ Project, 30 km east of Sudbury, Ontario (Figure 1).

In the Glade area, channel sampling extended gold mineralization in the Alkin-Glade trend over 225 metres along strike. Exploration work in the Glade area also led to the discovery of a broad zone of anomalous gold in the Espanola limestone 150 m below the mineralized Alkin-Glade corridor in hole AG-21-097. Channel sampling at the Jerome showing indicates that the Nipissing intrusion contains palladium-rich mineralization.

  • Channel sample contains 2.97 g/t Pd, 0.42 g/t Pt and 0.24 g/t Au over 4 m (Cu and Ni assays are pending)

Fall 2021 exploration plans

During the Fall of 2021, the Company plans to complete the channel sampling and mapping program in the Glade and Alkin areas of the Alkin-Glade trend in preparation for diamond drilling in the Alkin-Glade corridor. The first phase of the drilling program will consist of a series of drill holes to test the continuity of gold mineralization between the Glade East and Glade West showings, separated by 225 m.

In parallel, the Company plans to prospect, sample and map the McLeod showing where historic diamond drilling intersected significant gold mineralization. The Company also plans to prospect and map gold-copper mineralization at the historic Alwyn Mine and explore for additional palladium-rich mineralization in the Nipissing sill hosting the Jerome showing,

Alkin-Glade

The Alkin-Glade trend is located at the contact between a Nipissing intrusion and sedimentary rocks. The structure hosts two significant zones of mineralization – the historic Alkin Mine and the Glade showings. In the Glade area, Ontario Geological Survey maps and historical exploration identified a broad zone of disruption, alteration, deformation and mineralization that extend over a strike length of 300 m. High-grade gold in quartz veins was reported historically. Old exploration trenches, now overgrown with vegetation are the only evidence of the 1930’s and 1940’s exploration work done at Glade with gold mineralization still exposed at the Glade East and Glade West showings.

The historical Alkin gold mine is located 2.2 km W-NW of the Glade showings. At the Alkin mine, gold mineralization occurs as a network of quartz veins hosted in the felsic phase of the Nipissing Diabase intrusion that also hosts the Glade showings. Reconnaissance work by the Ontario Geological Survey reported gold assays up to 38.8 g/t gold in grab samples taken from the veins exposed at the Alkin Mine (OFR 5771). The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and do not represent the actual grade of the targeted mineralization. In addition, the reader is cautioned that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to validate the accuracy of the historical results. The Company is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources.

Diamond drilling under the Glade West Showing in holes AG-21-096 and AG-21-097 revealed a large alteration and mineralization system where shear-hosted quartz veins are surrounded by networks of gold mineralized, multidirectional and variably spaced quartz tension veins concentrated in the Nipissing intrusion at its northern contact with the Bruce conglomerate. Diamond drilling also identified that mineralization extends in the Espanola limestone along the southern contact of the Nipissing diabase hosting the networks of gold-bearing shear zones and quartz veins. Visible gold was observed in many of the quartz veins in both holes AG-21-096 and AG-21-097, and in the channel samples taken at Glade East. Surface work at the Glade East showing confirmed comparable mineralization 225 m east of the Glade West discovery. Visible gold is associated with iron-rich chlorite alteration emplaced and crosscutting the quartz veins. This association between gold and iron-rich chlorite observed at the Glade West is similar to the iron-chlorite and gold at the Scadding Deposit. The observed relationship in mineralization could represent a considerable extension of the mineralized system of over 800m.

Jerome Showing
The Jerome showing is located on the Rathbun block of the SPJ property. PGE mineralization is hosted in an intrusion pertaining to the Nipissing sills according to the Ontario Geological Survey maps of the area. PGE mineralization is associated with disseminations of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and magnetite in the Nipissing sills. The base metal results for the channel samples taken by MacDonald Mines remain pending.

On-site Quality Assurance/Quality Control (“QA/QC”) Measures

Drill core samples were transported in security sealed bags for analysis to Actlabs in Ancaster, Ontario. Individual samples are labelled, placed in plastic sample bags and sealed. Groups of samples are then placed into durable rice bags and then shipped. The samples transported to Actlabs were dropped in rice bags with security seals by Manitoulin Transport. The remaining coarse reject portions of the samples remain in storage if further work or verification is needed.

MacDonald Mines has implemented a quality-control program to comply with best practices in the sampling and analysis of drill core. As part of its QA/QC program, the Company inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples in addition to random standards, blanks, and duplicates. All samples over 10 g/t gold or the samples with abundant visible gold are analyzed using a 1-kilogram metallic screen. Check assays are routinely performed for samples with visible gold to ascertain the gold content of the mineralization zone.

COVID-19 Precautions
MacDonald Mines has developed and implemented precautions and procedures that are compliant with Ontario’s health guidelines. Strict protocols are in place to ensure the safety of all staff, thereby reducing the potential for community contact and spreading of the virus.

We feel now is a pretty good time to analyse Sherritt International Corporation's (TSE:S) business as it appears the company may be on the cusp of a considerable accomplishment. Sherritt International Corporation engages in the mining, refining, and sale of nickel and cobalt from lateritic ores primarily in Canada and Cuba. The CA$179m market-cap company’s loss lessened since it announced a CA$86m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of CA$50m, as it approaches breakeven. The most pressing concern for investors is Sherritt International's path to profitability – when will it breakeven? Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

See our latest analysis for Sherritt International

Consensus from 2 of the Canadian Metals and Mining analysts is that Sherritt International is on the verge of breakeven. They expect the company to post a final loss in 2021, before turning a profit of CA$13m in 2022. Therefore, the company is expected to breakeven just over a year from now. What rate will the company have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, we calculated an average annual growth rate of 63%, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

We're not going to go through company-specific developments for Sherritt International given that this is a high-level summary, however, keep in mind that generally metals and mining companies, depending on the stage of operation and metals mined, have irregular periods of cash flow. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.

Before we wrap up, there’s one issue worth mentioning. Sherritt International currently has a relatively high level of debt. Generally, the rule of thumb is debt shouldn’t exceed 40% of your equity, which in Sherritt International's case is 77%. A higher level of debt requires more stringent capital management which increases the risk around investing in the loss-making company.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2021) – Thesis Gold Inc. (TSXV: TAU) ("Thesis" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a surface exploration update for its Ranch Gold-Copper Project (the "Property"). Detailed bedrock and alteration mapping have identified significant kilometre-scale alteration zones, including Albert's Hump, Patti, Steves, BV South, and BBX (Figure 1). Surface samples collected from these zones are included in the comprehensive surface sampling program, with laboratory results expected in the coming weeks. The combination of geological, alteration, and structural mapping with surface geochemistry and numerous geophysical surveys from the 2021 field season, will further refine current drill targets and define additional targets for the future.

Ewan Webster, President and CEO, commented, "The scope and scale of these alteration systems are impressive and far larger than the currently known zones of mineralization. The zonation in the alteration assemblages is typical of high-sulphidation epithermal systems and the upper parts of porphyry systems. What is encouraging is the gold mineralization at the surface, suggesting a fertile system below remains to be discovered. Our top-tier geological team is now using all of our data sets to generate strong drill targets for the latter part of this season's drilling campaign to test the many compelling targets that have been generated so far."

Mapped Targets

Albert's Hump
Albert's Hump is a large northwest-trending 2 km by 1 km interpreted lithocap with mapped exposures of vuggy silica, quartz-alunite, argillic, and propylitic alteration (Figures 1 & 2). Historical rock sampling of lithocap material has yielded between 5 and 20 ppb Au; as lithocap material is generally barren of precious metals content, these results coupled with the large alteration footprint suggest significant potential for a mineralized high-sulphidation or porphyry system at depth.

The southern extension of Albert's Hump is stratigraphically and topographically lower. It features prevalent vuggy quartz with secondary barite and silica along a northwest-trending exposure of intensely hematized dacitic rock with multiphase quartz veining. Historical rock grab sampling in the area returned gold concentrations of up to 2.74 grams per tonne (g/t), with several other grab samples above 0.80 g/t Au. The alteration footprint at Alberts Hump is significantly larger than those of the historical high-grade alterations zones at Thesis III and Bonanza pits, respectively.

BBX
The BBX zone is approximately 600 metres to the east of Alberts Hump and may be part of the same system that a fault has offset. Alteration at BBX is dominantly quartz-alunite with lesser massive or vuggy silica. Bladed alunite is present within the vugs locally. Historical rock grab sampling has yielded gold concentrations of up to 1.4 g/t Au.

Patti and Steves
Patti and Steves display typical high-sulphidation epithermal alteration zonation, grading from a vuggy silica core into massive silica and argillic alteration and an extensive propylitic-altered envelope. Sparse outcrop between Patti and Steves is also silicified and pervasively altered, suggesting these areas may be a part of a single, much larger alteration system. Vuggy silica displays evidence of secondary bladed barite and alunite growth in vugs, an important indication of multiphase fluid flow necessary for precious metals precipitation. Historical rock grabs in the area include a peak value of 68.2 g/t Au.

BEDFORD, NS / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2021 / (TSXV:SSE) – Silver Spruce Resources, Inc. ("Silver Spruce" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the receipt of its report from Strategic Consultants IGIS, ("SCIGIS") based in Chihuahua, Mexico, providing a comprehensive interpretation of regional ASTER (Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflectance Radiometer) and LANDSAT 8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) data over three exploration properties comprising El Mezquite, Jackie and Diamante (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. El Mezquite, Diamante 1 and 2, and Jackie Concession Location Map. Nicho mine development by Minera Alamos located 6 km SE of Jackie (Image taken from Google Earth).

"We continue to build on the Sonoran project geotechnical database using advanced processing techniques for re-interpretation of available ASTER and LANDSAT 8 OLI imagery. The TLALI algorithm processing clearly illustrated its capabilities in mineral and anomaly identification with clarity of spatial response," said Greg Davison, Silver Spruce VP Exploration and Director. "We are compiling and interpreting the Shortwave Infrared ("SWIR") and Visible to Near-Infrared ("VNIR") hyperspectral data from El Mezquite and Jackie rock samples in concert with the ASTER/LANDSAT alteration fields for the next phase of drill target definition after recently completing our maiden drill program on EL Mezquite and Phase 2 geological and alteration mapping on Jackie. The SCIGIS maps also will be used for focusing and planning of the targeted geological mapping program at Diamante 1 and 2 in Q4 2021."

The SCIGIS study comprised a spectral reconnaissance of the Properties (Diamante 1, Diamante 2, El Mezquite, and Jackie) to understand the structural and lithological controls in a regional context and provide additional detail on the mineral-by-mineral distribution over each of the Properties. SCIGIS research covered an area of 6,500 hectares – the map area shown in Figure 2. The ASTER imagery was processed using the proprietary TLALI algorithm, which has shown significant success in optimizing and recognizing anomalies in a wide range of geological environments from several international projects.

A second run was carried out using LANDSAT 8 OLI imagery and focus on clay minerals, ferrous iron, and iron oxide species. The reporting included a complete set of shapefiles, index raster and RGB images, index reclassifications, and various digital elevation rasters with shading and lineament extraction in ArcGIS format.

Project Geology – Spectral Response

The El Mezquite and Diamante properties each exhibit features that manifest with excellent hyperspectral signatures and responses for a broad suite of oxide and silicate minerals. The remote spectral response distribution, particularly for Jackie, is limited by extensive vegetation. A historical study of ASTER imagery was performed in 2017 principally on the Diamante and El Mezquite properties and identified hyperspectral responses interpreted as supergene oxidation and argillization with propylitic areas, the latter mainly in less altered andesites.

Figures 2 and 3 illustrate examples of the Servicio Geológico Mexicano ("SGM") alteration and the recent LANDSAT 8 OLI interpretation for the three properties mainly for the Diamante and El Mezquite projects. Data available from the GEOINFOMEX SGM web portal displayed alteration with broadly circled areas of grouped minerals or styles. It is noteworthy that the Jackie property showed only minimal LANDSAT 8 OLI responses though the evidence from the current ground exploration successfully identified significant clay and oxide minerals proximal to the Au-Ag anomaly (see Press Releases – June 10^th and June 26^th, 2021).

El Mezquite – A white mica-dominant assemblage with lesser jarosite, kaolinite and iron oxides, distal zones containing chlorite, and intermittent areas of aluminous minerals locally linked to potential structural lineaments, were identified by the rock hyperspectral response. The LANDSAT 8 OLI TLALI maps illustrate northeast and northwest-trending clusters tied to surfaces exposure and topographic features including faults interpreted from the magnetic and 3D IP surveys. ASTER data documented, in Figures 3 and 4, the kaolinite, alunite and pyrophyllite group, with silica spatially associated with NW-trending lineaments and, in part, were targeted by the Phase 1 drilling. Additional targets to the south of the current drilling are interpreted from the TLALI alteration maps and the initial lineament analysis.

Jackie – The Phase 1 prospecting and Phase 2 mapping programs (see Press Releases – June 10^th and June 26^th 2021) identified a distinctive andesite ridge with intense oxidation, silicification, argillic alteration, and a notable vegetation-free zone. This location was confirmed by the ASTER and LANDSAT 8 interpretation though was limited to a focused area with ferric oxides, kaolinite, silica and chlorite-epidote-carbonate. The oxide and silicate alteration, was verified by aiSIRIS results of rock hyperspectral analysis, represented oxidized argillic zones with low grade or bleached metal values. Rock samples collected from the northern area of the ridge also displayed intense replacement by zeolite, kaolinite, alunite, montmorillonite, opaline silica, and muscovite and contained the bulk of the anomalous gold and silver values. None of this neighboring and significant alteration was recognized by ASTER and LANDSAT 8 OLI given the coverage by vegetation during the period of image collection. Compilation of the rock sample hyperspectral data is pending and requisite for advancing the alteration mapping of the Jackie property.

Figure 2. Distribution of clay and ferric oxide alteration from LANDSAT 8 OLI data focused around vein and disseminated mineralization targets, with outlined areas sourced from historical SGM database, on the Diamante and El Mezquite properties. Limited response on the Jackie property.

Diamante – Historical ground exploration on the Diamante 1 and 2 concessions identified mineralization accompanied by silicification, and phyllic, argillic, advanced argillic (quartz-alunite-pyrite) and propylitic (chlorite) zones, with overprinting by iron oxide and oxyhydroxide (hematite, goethite, and limonite) staining, jarosite and vuggy silica. The TLALI maps, shown in Figures 2 and 3 for the LANDSAT 8 OLI and combined LANDSAT/ASTER data, respectively, illustrate the spectral response for silicification and argillic alteration, including generic clay, alunite, pyrophyllite, kaolinite and silica, which are in part coincident with known artisanal vein workings and disseminated gold targets, such as the Southern Anomaly in Diamante 2. The areas of alteration require verification by surface exploration as part of the Phase 1 drill target definition program planned for Q4 2021.

Figure 3. Distribution of alunite, pyrophyllite, kaolinite and silica from ASTER and overprinting ferric oxide alteration from LANDSAT 8 OLI data focused on Diamante 2 and El Mezquite identifying potential targets of advanced argillization and silicification, with outlined areas sourced from historical SGM database, on shaded topography.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Lithium Corp. (“American Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:LI | OTCQB:LIACF | Frankfurt:5LA1) is pleased to announce positive pre-concentration upgrading results from Tonopah Lithium Claims (“TLC”) claystone mineralization using Falcon continuous gravity concentrators with 88% of Lithium concentrated in 60% of the original mass – an upgrading factor of approximately 1.5.

Upgrading Highlights:

• Gravity concentration test work by TECMMINE, in consultation with Sepro Mineral Systems of Lima Peru, yielded excellent results using continuous gravity Falcon (”Falcon C”) concentrators.

• Test work rapidly upgraded samples of TLC mineralization from 1,098 ppm Li to 1,671 ppm Li by retaining 88% of the lithium in 60% of the mass.

• On-going test work to further optimize the upgrading process including utilizing higher grade feed from planned drilling and bulk sampling at TLC.

• Processing material with significantly higher lithium concentrations should reduce costs through lower reagent consumption and reduced throughput, including the potential to reduce back-end processing plant requirements.

Dr. Laurence Stefan, COO of American Lithium, stated “The positive implications of upgrading cannot be overstated. We are extremely encouraged with the pre-concentration results achieved using commercially available gravity concentrators. By processing higher-grade lithium mineralization, a smaller plant footprint is possible, and processing becomes more efficient with the ability to minimize reagents and improve recoveries. We look forward to on-going test work using higher grade samples followed by metallurgical processing work on the higher grade concentrates produced.”

TLC Upgrading Results

TECMMINE in Peru, in consultation with Sepro Mineral Systems Lima-based personnel have completed the first round of pre-concentration testing on TLC mineralization using Falcon “C” gravity concentrators.

Previous test work has demonstrated that gravity/physical concentration techniques are capable of upgrading TLC mineralization with the lithium preferentially reporting to the fine fraction in centrifuge tests (see Company news release dated March 23, 2021). The important fraction at TLC is not the “concentrate”, but what is often considered “tails” in other commodities.

The latest and best results have concentrated 88% of lithium in 60% of the original mass through a simple process of crushing to 100% passing 500 μm (-0.5 mm) followed by a series of concentrator passes, re-pulping and scavenging.

The original head grade of the sample used was 1,098 ppm Li and was upgraded to 1,671 ppm Li in a process estimated to take less than 45 minutes in an industrial scale operation.

Sepro Mineral Systems’ Falcon C continuous gravity concentrators are commercially available, off-the-shelf technology with models proven capable of handling large volumes of material suitable for bulk tonnage mining/processing operations.

Cautionary Note Regarding Macusani Concessions
Thirty-two of the 151 concessions held by American Lithium’s subsidiary Macusani, are currently subject to Administrative and Judicial processes (together, the “Processes”) in Peru to overturn resolutions issued by INGEMMET and the Mining Council of MINEM in February 2019 and July 2019, respectively, which declared Macusani’s title to 32 of the concessions invalid due to late receipt of the annual validity payments. In November 2019, Macusani applied for injunctive relief on 32 concessions in a Court in Lima, Peru and was successful in obtaining such an injunction on 17 of the concessions including three of the four concessions included in the Macusani Uranium Project PEA. The grant of the Precautionary Measure (Medida Cautelar) has restored the title, rights and validity of those 17 concessions to Macusani until a final decision is obtained at the last stage of the judicial process. A Precautionary Measure application was made at the same time for the remaining 15 concessions and was ultimately granted by a Court in Lima, Peru on March 2, 2021 which has also restored the title, rights and validity of those 15 remaining concessions to Macusani, with the result being that all 32 concessions are now protected by Precautionary Measure (Medida Cautelar) until a final decision on this matter is obtained at the last stage of the judicial process. A final date for the last stage of the judicial process has not yet been set. If American Lithium’s subsidiary Macusani does not obtain a successful resolution of the Processes, its title to the concessions could be revoked.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2021) – ALX Resources Corp. (TSXV: AL) (FSE: 6LLN) (OTC: ALXEF) ("ALX" or the "Company") pleased to announce that it has entered into an earn-in option agreement with First Mining Gold Corp. (TSX: FF) ("First Mining") on the Company's 100%-owned Vixen Gold Project ("Vixen"). Vixen consists of three sub-projects totaling 10,614 hectares (26,227 acres), Vixen North, Vixen South and Vixen West, located approximately 60 kilometres (37 miles) east of Red Lake, Ontario and near First Mining's Springpole Gold Project ("Springpole"). ALX first acquired and explored Vixen in 2019, and added additional claims acquisitions in 2021.

Details of the Option Agreement

First Mining will have the option to earn an initial 70% interest in Vixen by making cash payments totaling $550,000, the issuance of First Mining common shares totaling $400,000 to ALX, and by incurring at least $500,000 of expenditures at Vixen during the first three years of the earn-in term. Upon completing the first stage of the earn-in, First Mining will hold, through its wholly-owned subsidiary company Gold Canyon Resources Inc. ("Gold Canyon"), a 70% interest in Vixen and will have an additional two-year period to acquire the remaining 30% interest in Vixen by electing to make a $500,000 cash payment to ALX and by the issuance of First Mining common shares to ALX totaling $500,000. In the event that First Mining elects not to complete the second stage of the earn-in, ALX and Gold Canyon will enter into a 70%-30% joint venture agreement with respect to Vixen.

"ALX is pleased that its exploration efforts at Vixen have attracted a well-financed gold developer with a plan to search for new deposits in the Birch-Uchi greenstone belt," said Warren Stanyer, CEO and Chairman of ALX. "First Mining's multi-million ounce Springpole gold deposit is a focal point for the region with well-established camp facilities already in place, which is a huge logistical advantage for the advancement of Vixen."

The Birch-Uchi greenstone belt is one of the most under-explored and highly prospective gold belts in Canada with district-scale potential. The region hosts several past-producing mines, including the Argosy and Sol d'Or gold mines, with demonstrated historical high-grade gold mining and exploration. First Mining reports that it plans to undertake comprehensive regional exploration over the next twelve months and will be incorporating Vixen into the program. First Mining is focused on advancing and permitting its flagship Springpole project, which hosts the largest known gold deposit in the district and will be a critical strategic asset if more gold resources are found in the region.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2021) – Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC) (OTCQB: FDCFF) ("Forum" or the "Company") is pleased to update shareholders with a review of the Company's current exploration activities and exploration plans for the next six months on its copper, uranium, nickel, cobalt and palladium projects in Saskatchewan and Idaho (Figure 1).

URANIUM PROJECTS

Northwest Athabasca JV (39.5% Forum; 28% NexGen; 20% Cameco; 12.5% Orano)

Forum has submitted a permit application for a 3,500 metre drill program in Q1/2022 and will be the Operator and sole funder of the program. With the $1.3 million proposed budget, Forum expects to increase its interest to 47% in the project with the dilution of the partners' interests. The historical 1.5 million pound Maurice Bay uranium deposit* is a perched deposit in the sandstone based on 600,000 tonnes grading 0.6% U₃O₈ to a depth of 50 metres in the Western Athabasca Basin (Source: Saskatchewan Industry and Resources, Miscellaneous Report 2003-7).

Forum is focused on the discovery of a larger uranium deposit hosted at the unconformity between the sandstone and basement rocks and/or within the basement rocks. Drilling in 2012, 2013 and 2014 by Forum identified a number of shallow zones of uranium mineralization grading up to 5.7% uranium over 8.5 metres. With over twenty drill targets identified, it is Forum's view that there is a uranium deposit on the property yet to be discovered.

Fir Island (Orano Canada Option to Earn 70%)

Forum has recommended to Orano a resistivity survey to be conducted in December, 2021 to the north of drilling completed this past winter on Fir Island, followed by drilling of any anomalies detected from the survey. Timing of this program is dependent on Orano's budget and permitting.

Other Uranium Projects

The gravity survey announced April 7, 2021 on the Wollaston project located 10km south of Cameco's Rabbit Lake uranium mill and immediately east of the all-weather road to Orano's McClean Lake uranium processing plant will be completed in Q4/2021. Forum has identified a number of drill targets from past drilling by Forum at the 100% owned Highrock and the 65% owned Costigan projects located 5 km south of Cameco's Key Lake uranium mill. In the Western Athabasca Basin, Forum's 75% owned Clearwater project, on trend from Fission's Triple R and NexGen's Arrow development projects has drill targets identified by previous Forum drilling. Rio Tinto Exploration Canada ("Rio Tinto"), 60% owner and operator of the Henday project (40% Forum) in the Eastern Athabasca Basin, does not plan any programs for 2022.

ENERGY METAL PROJECTS

Janice Lake Copper/Silver (Rio Tinto Option to Earn 80%)

Rio Tinto has completed drilling a further nine holes on the Rafuse target during the summer exploration program, following up on the nine holes drilled on the Rafuse target by Rio Tinto during the winter drill program. Rio Tinto expects results to be available by mid-October. A major focus of Rio Tinto's summer exploration program was regional mapping, sampling and prospecting of the full extent of the 52 kilometre long sedimentary basin hosting these copper deposits. Prospecting in 2020 discovered a 3.8% copper boulder eighteen kilometres to the south of the current drill area.

Love Lake Nickel/Copper/Palladium (100% Forum)

Forum is currently on its seventh drillhole of its 3,000 metre drill program on three targets identified over the Love Lake mafic/ultramafic complex. Samples from the first three holes have been delivered to the Saskatchewan Research Council for analysis. A minimum of three further holes are planned on the property.

Quartz Gulch Cobalt/Copper (100% Forum)

A prospecting, mapping and sampling program has been delayed by forest fires in Idaho and is expected to commence in late September/early October. This will be the first program conducted on the property since Noranda, previous operator of the nearby Blackbird cobalt mine, completed an exploration program that identified anomalous cobalt in stream sediment samples on the property in 1982. Jervois Global Limited reports that development activities at the Idaho Cobalt Operation on trend from Quartz Gulch are on track for the delivery of first ore to the operational mill in July, 2022 (Source: Jervois Global Limited Interim Financial Report for the half-year ended 30 June 2021).

*The Maurice Bay historical resource estimate was completed prior to the implementation of National Instrument 43-101. Given the extensive exploration work completed by experienced mineral resource companies, and the quality of the historical work completed, the Company believes the historical estimate to be relevant and reliable. However, a qualified person has not completed sufficient work to verify and classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. Hence, the estimate should not be relied upon. It should be noted that mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability.

If you want to know who really controls Metals X Limited (ASX:MLX), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. Large companies usually have institutions as shareholders, and we usually see insiders owning shares in smaller companies. We also tend to see lower insider ownership in companies that were previously publicly owned.

With a market capitalization of AU$263m, Metals X is a small cap stock, so it might not be well known by many institutional investors. Taking a look at our data on the ownership groups (below), it seems that institutions are noticeable on the share registry. Let's delve deeper into each type of owner, to discover more about Metals X.

View our latest analysis for Metals X

What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Metals X?

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.

Metals X already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. If multiple institutions change their view on a stock at the same time, you could see the share price drop fast. It's therefore worth looking at Metals X's earnings history below. Of course, the future is what really matters.

Our data indicates that hedge funds own 14% of Metals X. That's interesting, because hedge funds can be quite active and activist. Many look for medium term catalysts that will drive the share price higher. APAC Resources Limited is currently the largest shareholder, with 14% of shares outstanding. With 14% and 6.1% of the shares outstanding respectively, Old Peak Limited and Credit Suisse, Investment Banking and Securities Investments are the second and third largest shareholders.

We did some more digging and found that 6 of the top shareholders account for roughly 51% of the register, implying that along with larger shareholders, there are a few smaller shareholders, thereby balancing out each others interests somewhat.

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 is a little analyst coverage of the stock, but not much. So there is room for it to gain more coverage.

Insider Ownership Of Metals X

While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.

I generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own some shares in Metals X Limited. As individuals, the insiders collectively own AU$10m worth of the AU$263m company. Some would say this shows alignment of interests between shareholders and the board, though I generally prefer to see bigger insider holdings. But it might be worth checking if those insiders have been selling.

General Public Ownership

The general public holds a 27% stake in Metals X. While this group can't necessarily call the shots, it can certainly have a real influence on how the company is run.

Private Company Ownership

Our data indicates that Private Companies hold 11%, of the company's shares. 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.

Public Company Ownership

We can see that public companies hold 14% of the Metals X shares on issue. It's hard to say for sure but this suggests they have entwined business interests. This might be a strategic stake, so it's worth watching this space for changes in ownership.

Next Steps:

It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Metals X better, we need to consider many other factors. For example, we've discovered 2 warning signs for Metals X (1 makes us a bit uncomfortable!) that you should be aware of before investing here.

TSX-V: GBR

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 9, 2021 /CNW/ – Great Bear Resources Ltd. (the "Company" or "Great Bear", (TSXV: GBR) (OTCQX: GTBAF) today provided an update on geological modelling and detailed assay results from one of twenty-three high-grade gold domains being modeled within the LP Fault zone at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, "We continue to model twenty-three high-grade domains along 4 kilometres of the LP Fault. These domains typically have predictable planar or "sheet like" geometries due to their development at large-scale geological contacts and discrete structural corridors marked by a penetrative foliation fabric. Today we provide detailed results from the Auro2 domain, which is present from bedrock surface near the centre of the LP Fault zone and remains open at depth. We provide every in-zone assay from all (100%) of the 58 drill holes that have intersected the domain to date. Results are shown in the figures and table in this release, and can also be downloaded from our website."

Key points of this release:

• The Auro2 domain begins at bedrock surface, follows a highly consistent, steeply-dipping geological contact between meta-sedimentary and felsic volcanic rocks, and is situated near the centre of the LP Fault zone. It has been drilled from bedrock surface to over 450 metres depth and remains open to extension.

• All composite intervals defining the Auro2 high-grade domain are provided in Table 1.

• A long section of the Auro2 domain is provided in Figure 1. All drill holes are shown on this section.

• A cross section through the Auro2 domain is provided in Figure 2. All individual assays comprising the composite intervals are shown visually.

• An updated three-dimensional plan map of all 23 high-grade domains is provided in Figure 3.

• All individual assay results comprising the composite intervals can be downloaded from the Company's website at https://greatbearresources.ca/projects/overview/dixie-project-data/.

• Note that additional gold intervals from adjacent high-grade and bulk tonnage gold domains that were also intersected by the drill holes reported in this release are not included in Table 1, Figure 1 or Figure 2 and represent additional gold mineralization to that reported here.

Three additional high-grade domains have been reported to date by Great Bear: BR7 on May 19, 2021, and BR1 and Auro20 on June 3, 2021. The Company will continue to release detailed high-grade domain results as LP Fault zone modelling progresses.

Table 1: All composite gold intervals defining the Auro2 high-grade domain to date. Drill results were originally published by Great Bear between September 3, 2019 and June 3, 2021. Additional gold-bearing intervals in these holes that intersect adjacent high-grade and bulk tonnage domains have been omitted for clarity.

About the Dixie Project

The 100% owned flagship Dixie project boasts one of the largest recent gold discoveries in a Canadian mining jurisdiction. Proximal to major infrastructure near the town of Red Lake, Ontario, the Dixie property comprises over 91.4 square kilometres of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres with a paved highway and provincial power and natural gas lines. The property also hosts a network of well-maintained logging roads which facilitate access.

The 23 high-grade domains discussed in this release are structurally and geologically distinctive from the surrounding lower grade, bulk tonnage style gold mineralization. Together, they span a strike length of 4.2 kilometres and occur within larger stratigraphically controlled lower grade domains. They are characterized by high degrees of strain and/or transposed quartz vein zones following two distinct structural fabrics and transition from upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphism. Gold in the high-grade domains is generally observed as free gold, is often transposed into, and overgrows the dominant structural fabrics, and is higher-grade on average than the surrounding bulk tonnage gold zones.

To date, Great Bear has completed a total of 630 drill holes (283,000 metres), identifying three high-grade gold discoveries. The most significant discovery is the large-scale "LP Fault" zone, which comprises high-grade disseminated gold mineralization within broad moderate-to-lower-grade envelopes in felsic volcanic and sediment units. LP Fault drilling has identified gold mineralization along 11 kilometres of strike length to date, and a detailed drill grid is being completed along approximately 4 kilometres of strike length. The nearby "Hinge" and "Limb" gold zones are more characteristic of the renowned Red Lake mined deposits, comprising gold-bearing quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones hosted by mafic volcanic units. Over 80% of the Company's drill holes into the LP Fault, Dixie Limb and Hinge zones contain visible gold mineralization. Gold occurs mainly as free gold, neither bound to nor within sulphide minerals.

Great Bear adheres to industry-leading quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) practices in data collection, analysis and disclosure, and detailed assays including all historical LP Fault drill hole data are available on the Company's website at https://greatbearresources.ca/projects/overview/dixie-project-data/.

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a Vancouver-based gold exploration company focused on advancing its 100% owned Dixie project in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. A significant exploration drill program is currently underway to define the mineralization within a large-scale, high-grade disseminated gold discovery made in 2019, the LP Fault. Additional exploration drilling is also in progress to expand and infill nearby high-grade gold zones, as well as to test new regional targets. The Company is currently in the process of compiling all historical data together with incoming assay results, with the goal of publishing an initial NI 43-101 compliant multi-million ounce mineral resource estimate for the Dixie project in early 2022.

Great Bear is a committed partner to all stakeholders, with a long-term vision of sustainable exploration to advance the Dixie project in a manner that demonstrates good stewardship of land, operational excellence and accountability.

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located in Red Lake Ontario. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to Activation Laboratories in Ontario, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Pulps from approximately 5% of the gold mineralized samples are submitted for check analysis to a second lab. Selected samples are also chosen for duplicate assay from the coarse reject of the original sample. Selected samples with visible gold are also analyzed with a standard 1 kg metallic screen fire assay. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Great Bear's quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC). No QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein.

Qualified Person and NI 43-101 Disclosure

Mr. R. Bob Singh, P.Geo, VP Exploration, and Ms. Andrea Diakow P.Geo, VP Projects for Great Bear are the Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the accuracy of technical information contained in this news release.

(TSXV: VSR) (OTCQX: VMNGF) (FSE: 1V8) (la « Société ») a le plaisir d'annoncer qu'elle commencera un programme de forage sur sa propriété Felix. Une foreuse arrivera sur le site cette semaine pour lancer un programme de forage de 2 000 m pour tester des cibles aurifères au sein d'une formation de fer identifiées par la géophysique.

Un levé de polarisation provoquée (PP) récemment réalisé sur la propriété Felix était concentré sur une partie à l'ouest de la propriété là où il y a une formation de fer rubanée plissée (figure 1). Plusieurs anomalies de chargeabilité et de résistivité ont été identifiées et elles sont coïncidentes aux conducteurs MEGATEM historiques. Par conséquent, la Société a conçu un programme de forage sur la propriété (figure 2) pour intercepter un certain nombre de conducteurs associés à un pli de la formation de fer.

Frida et Eva

L'entreprise mobilise une équipe sur place pour mener un programme de prospection et d'échantillonnage sur les projets Frida et Eva. Les travaux devraient être commencez vers le 14 septembre.

À propos du projet Felix

Le projet Felix est situé dans un environnement d'origine volcanosédimentaire comprenant une unité de roche volcanique au nord, une autre au sud et la partie centrale est occupée par des roches sédimentaires. Des intrusions tardives sous forme de batholithes, de plutons ou de dykes sont également notées tout autour de la propriété. La propriété repose principalement sur les roches du Groupe de Chicobi. Le bassin sédimentaire contient des mudstones et des grès turbiditiques graphitiques, avec une formation mineure de fer rubanée magnétite-chert et hématite-jaspe et un conglomérat. Une importante formation de fer de type Algoma est présente dans la partie nord de la propriété. Les teneurs aurifères recoupées dans le forage historique sont situées près du contact sud de ce dernier. De plus, la faille régionale Chicobi-Nord traverse la partie nord de la propriété. Cette faille, de dimension régionale, borde le camp minier de Normétal au sud. Le projet est situé dans le prolongement est de ce camp minier où il y a d'anciennes mines de sulfures massifs et de nombreux indices d'or, comme ceux de l'ancienne mine d'or Perron sur lesquels Amex Exploration travaille activement. Des zones de cisaillement parallèles à la faille Chicobi-Nord se trouvent également dans les sédiments du Groupe de Chicobi comme en témoigne l'indice aurifère Authier situés à l'ouest de la propriété.

Edmonton, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2021) – Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (TSXV: GZD) (OTCQB: GZDIF) (FSE: G6H) ("Grizzly" or the "Company) is a diversified Canadian mineral exploration company with its primary listing on the TSX Venture Exchange that is focused on developing its precious and base metals properties, comprising over 156,000 acres, including its Robocop copper-cobalt project in southeastern British Columbia.

The global shift to clean energy systems, primarily electricity networks, is set to drive a huge increase in the requirements of copper and aluminum, with copper being a cornerstone for all electricity-related technologies, meaning that the energy sector is emerging as a major force in mineral markets.

Recently, Bloomberg's James Attwood, wrote that according to estimates from CRU Group, the copper industry needs to spend upwards of $100 billion to close what could be an annual supply deficit of 4.7 million metric tons by 2030 as the clean power and transport sectors take off. Commodities trader Trafigura Group adds that the deficit could grow to 10 million metric tons annually if no new mines are built. Closing this annual gap would require building the equivalent of eight projects the size of the BHP Escondida property in Chile, the world's largest copper mine.

An April 2021 report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), states that at the end of 2020 there were 10 million electric vehicles (EV) on roads around the world, an increase of some 3 million over the previous year. Registrations of EVs increased by 41% during the year, while those of non-electric cars actually dropped by 16% due to the pandemic. There can be little doubt that the future for vehicles is electric. This trend will have a great impact on the mining world.

As an exploration company, Grizzly is well-positioned for a potential business combination with a large multinational. Companies including Rio Tinto and BHP, often buy out smaller companies that have completed successful exploration projects. The process of mining is very expensive. So a junior exploration company buy-out is a win-win situation. Juniors are the tip of the spear when it comes to finding mines.

Over the past decade, the average amount of minerals needed for a new unit of power generation capacity has increased by 50% as the share of renewables in new investment has risen. A typical electric car requires six times the mineral input of a conventional car, and an offshore wind plant requires 13 times more mineral resources than a similarly sized gas-fired power plant.

Brian Testo, President and CEO of Grizzly Discoveries stated, "Grizzly has significant potential for new copper-cobalt discoveries during a time when demand for battery metals is surging due to the shift to renewable energy sources and electric vehicles. We are looking forward to commencing an initial Phase 1 program over the next couple of months to isolate drill targets in preparation for a Phase 2 – 2021 drill testing. The Robocop geology and anomalies have the potential to be world-class discoveries."

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canada Carbon Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX-V: CCB), (FF: U7N1) is pleased to announce that a field prospecting campaign was completed over historical electromagnetic anomalies (‘EM’) on its Asbury claims (‘the Property’).

From July 26, 2021 to July 30, 2021, a nine person team prospected, mapped and sampled the property equipped with two Bm4+ ‘Beep Mat’ electromagnetic detectors used to follow multiple conductors found in a 2013 Heliborne Magnetic and TDEM survey by Focus Graphite (DUBE,2013). Three geological fold patterns in the conductor anomalies were defined from the 2013 survey. Folding is very significant for graphite exploration since it can allow a thickening and enrichment of the graphitic horizon along the fold hinge. One of these folds is located at the historical Asbury mine, whereas two others had yet to be investigated in detail.

The Property is overlain by one to two metres of glacial till, as is commonly encountered in this part of Quebec. A team using a Beep Mat EM detector attempted to locate the aerial conductors by crossing the surface perpendicular to their strike. When a conductive target was identified, trenching was conducted in an attempt to sample any subcropping mineralization. Other team members scouted the area seeking potential outcrop or mineralized boulders at surface. As the Beep Mat could only detect conductors within one metre of surface, a number of the aerial conductors were not confirmed during this preliminary survey.

A total of 59 grab samples were taken, and were bagged and tagged on site. Figure 1 shows conductor anomalies on the Property and the associated rock samples taken during the field work which will provide the Company with a strong indication as to the potential grade and quantity of graphite associated with some of the conductors.

A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on the image or link below:

Additionally, the Company took 42 till samples, located glacially down-ice from the conductive anomalies. These till samples will be assayed to determine whether there may be zones of enriched mineralization not detected in the grab sampling program.

All of the samples were shipped to Actlab in Ancaster, Ontario for graphitic carbon (“Cg”) analysis. Both rock and till samples will be prepared using method RX1-Graphitic in which the samples undergo drying, crushing up to 90% passing through a #10 square-mesh screen, riffle splitting (250 gram) and pulverization to 95% passing a 105 um square-mesh screen. Graphitic carbon is then determined by multistage furnace treatment and infrared absorption, with a 0.05% detection limit using analysis package 4F-C-Graphitic.

The Company’s next step will be to proceed with a PhiSpy survey (a ground TDEM survey), followed by a second prospecting survey to assay the near-surface conductor anomalies. The review of historical data is still on-going, and will be combined with recent field observations. Based on this field work and analysis of historical data conducted to-date, we recently acquired an additional 3 claims in the area contiguous to our existing claims.

Olga Nikitovic, Interim CEO, commented, “We are pleased to start exploration work on the promising Asbury Property. The large number of conductive anomalies, some in folded structures as seen at the past-producing Asbury Mine, are encouraging signs that we may discover significant graphite mineralization on the Property. Assessing the quality of the graphite will be one of our priorities as we move forward in our exploration program.”

The Asbury Property.
The Asbury Property contains the past-producing Asbury Graphite Mine, and is comprised of 25 claims, for a total of 1,385 ha. It is located 8.1km northeast of Notre-Dame-Du-Laus in the Laurentides Region of southern Quebec. The property belongs to the Grenville Province with varying degrees of metamorphism. The eastern portion of the property is composed of crystalline limestone, quartzite and paragneiss with a band of graphitic limestone contained within a blue grey biotitic quartzite. Marble and impure quartzite are found within the property, containing graphite flakes and garnets. These rocks are in accordance with the proposed skarn type deposit found in Asbury (Charbonneau, 2012).

The Asbury claims include some land held by private landowners however, the 8.48KM total length of EM conductors which the Company is targeting are not located on privately held land.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 9, 2021 / GREAT ATLANTIC ESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR)(FRA:PH01) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it is continuing to drill but has completed the first seven drill holes of the 2021 diamond drilling program at its Keymet Base Metal – Precious Metal Project, located in Northern New Brunswick. The drilling program is testing numerous target areas in the northwest region of the property. Veins containing semi-massive sulfides (including copper, zinc and lead sulfides) and arsenopyrite (an indicator for potential gold mineralization) were intersected in multiple holes. Analytical results are pending.

Semi-massive sulfides (chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and pyrite) in Ky-21-27

The seven holes completed to date during 2021 (Ky-21-23 to Ky-21-29) tested areas of polymetallic (zinc, copper, lead and silver) veins; untested electromagnetic anomalies; and gold bearing bedrock and float.

The Company previously discovered high grade gold, silver, copper and zinc in this region, including a drill intercept of 9.04% zinc, 9.19% copper and 1,158 gams per tonne (g/t) silver over 3.00 meters core length and a boulder sample returning 51 grams / tonne (g/t) gold.

Five of the seven holes completed to date during the 2021 program have intersected veins hosting copper, zinc and lead sulfide mineralization, including veins with semi-massive sulfides. These include drill holes Ky-21-23 which tested the possible extension of the Elmtree Silver Mine vein occurrence southeast of the historic shaft; Ky-21-25 which tested a new target area; Ky-21-27 and Ky21-28 which tested the Elmtree 12 polymetallic vein system; and Ky-21-29 which was the first drill hole into an electromagnetic anomaly.

Five of the seven holes completed to date (Ky-21-25 to Ky-21-29) during the 2021 program have intersected intervals with arsenopyrite mineralization. Previous work by the Company has identified gold mineralization associated with arsenopyrite mineralization in this region of the property.

Drill hole Ky-21-30 is currently underway, testing deeper than previous drilling in the Elmtree 12 vein system.

The drill core is being geologically logged and with mineralized intervals (with base metal sulfides and arsenopyrite) being sampled. Half core samples will be submitted to an independent laboratory for multi-element analysis (including gold, zinc, copper, lead and silver). The 2021 exploration program is being managed by a Qualified Person.

High grade silver and lead is reported at the Emtree Silver Mine historic workings by the New Brunswick Department of Energy and Resource Development.

Great Atlantic discovered high-grade zinc, copper and silver mineralization at the Emtree 12 polymetallic vein system during 2015 – 2018 drilling programs including:

• Ky-15-3: 16.68% Zn, 1.11% Cu, 0.44% Pb and 152 g/t Ag over 1.80 meters.

Extensive Portfolio of Pioneering Clean Technologies; Cellulosic Biofuels

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Mining Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) today announced its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Plain Sight Innovations Corporation (“PSI”) in exchange for 8,500,000 restricted shares of its common stock, and all of the intellectual property assets of PSI’s affiliate, FLUX Photon Corporation (“FPC”), in exchange for a performance-based cash payment equal to 20% of the Company’s future consolidated net cash flow from operations up to $18,000,000.

PSI’s management team has deep experience in a diverse array of industries, including renewable fuels, hazardous waste, agriproducts, and other commodities with almost thirty years of clean technology research, development, and commercialization expertise, with an emphasis on the extraction and valorization of natural resources.

PSI owns an array of patented, patent-pending and proprietary process technologies that were designed to convert low cost, ubiquitous woody biomass feedstocks into cellulosic ethanol, while producing a portfolio of co-products, including renewable diesel and an extraordinary new form of biomass-derived crystalline graphite, or biographite, with compelling applications in the production of carbon neutral batteries and other electrification components. PSI also operates a commercial pilot cellulosic fuel facility based on its technologies in Wisconsin, where it has already proven the ability to efficiently convert various forms of woody biomass into cellulosic ethanol and co-product precursors for renewable diesel, biographite, bioplastics, and a portfolio of carbon neutral alternatives to fossil fuels.

The Path to Decarbonization is in Plain Sight

The transportation sector is expected to dramatically increase the production of electric vehicles to more than 30% of all auto sales by 2030. However, more than two thirds of the energy required to power those electric vehicles is expected to come from burning fossil fuels, and the direct combustion of liquid fuels will most certainly continue to be the dominant source of power for transportation for decades. Burning less, burning smarter, and reusing emissions are therefore critical objectives as the world moves to clean energy and decarbonization.

“Renewable fuels provide a critical pathway for decarbonization, however, most current forms of renewable fuel draw from the same pool of conventional feedstocks, including corn and various vegetable oils in the U.S., and the entire universe of those feedstocks only represents a tiny fraction of the domestic burn,” said David Winsness, PSI’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Unfortunately, the lifecycle carbon benefits of growing, harvesting, and using conventional feedstocks are extremely limited. Our technologies were designed to address that dilemma by converting abundantly available forestry wastes, short rotation energy crops, and other low-cost sources of woody biomass into natural liquid fuels with vastly superior benefits for a fraction of the refining costs of conventional renewable fuels.”

The U.S. Department of Energy has estimated that more than one billion tons of forestry wastes and other forms of biomass will be produced annually by 2027 with continued growth thereafter. That’s enough new feedstock to produce as much as 70 billion gallons per year of advanced carbon neutral fuels with PSI’s proven technologies, or more than one third of the U.S. transportation demand on an energy equivalent basis.

Cellulosic Fuels

“That’s enough feedstock to rapidly neutralize motor fuel emissions in conjunction with America’s transition to electrification and renewable energy,” added Winsness. “PSI’s cellulosic fuels facilities will be the first of their kind, with an expected financial, natural, and social impact far in excess of any other platform, renewable or otherwise.”

PSI’s first facility is expected to scale up to an initial capacity exceeding 330,000 tons per year of forestry wastes over its first three years of operations, as it extracts, converts, and refines biomass into ethanol, renewable diesel fuel, and biographite to generate annualized revenues exceeding $86,000,000, $173,000,000, and $346,000,000 per year during the facility’s first three full years of operations, respectively, as shown in the following summary projections:

Comstock’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Corrado De Gasperis, commented, “Cellulosic fuel production, like lithium-ion battery recycling and industrial hemp production, is poised for, and we are planning for, exponential growth. Our guidance for these three businesses represents just one facility each and we are planning for over one hundred cellulosic fuel facilities in the U.S. alone. That level of production barely dents the transportation fuels market, yet it represents a meaningful impact on shifting consumption and the resulting decarbonization.”

Ecosystem of Strategic Feedstocks, Processes, and Products

PSI’s technologies are especially important to the Company’s plans to build a synergistic ecosystem of strategic lines of business and production facilities with complimentary feedstocks and products, supported by world class technological and engineering talent. The Company’s ability to systemically discover, develop, engineer, manufacture and commission its own solutions, represents a remarkable competitive advantage that enables speed.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence estimates that the major automakers have committed over $300 billion to developing electric vehicles (“EVs”) and that over 2,000 GWh of lithium-ion battery (“LIB”) production capacity is in the pipeline. That amount of production in turn equates to 1.4 million tons of new annual graphite demand by 2028. Conventional graphite comes from natural deposits or the carbonization of petroleum products, with market values ranging from about $10,000 per ton for natural graphite to $20,000 per ton for synthetic graphite.

De Gasperis continued, “Most of my relevant experience comes from managing the global manufacturing of carbon-based, material-science products, particularly synthetic graphite. I was literally stunned by PSI’s discovery of a natural source of carbon neutral biographite. When we consider that every cathode in every lithium-ion battery needs an anode, and most anodes are made from synthetic graphite which is substantially all produced with carbon intensive fossil fuel derivatives, then we understand that that industry is not climate smart or clean. We can fundamentally change the game by introducing the world’s first scalable carbon neutral alternative to fossil fuel derived graphite.”

PSI’s intellectual property portfolio also includes remarkably advanced new approaches to carbon capture and utilization, atmospheric water harvesting, waste heat and energy recovery, and industrial photosynthesis for terascale decarbonization and the sustainable production of very large agricultural outputs for fractional inputs.

Wall Street flourished in the first eight months of 2021 despite facing intermittent fluctuations. However, the northward journey has halted a little bit in early September — historically the worst-performing month on Wall Street.

The rapid pace of the highly infectious Delta variant of coronavirus raised serious concerns among investors about a possible decline in U.S. economic growth. A series of recently released weak economic data also dented market participants’ confidence.

U.S. stock markets are likely to remain subdued as market participants are waiting for the Fed’s decision on the tapering of the $120 billion per month bond-buy program in the next FOMC meeting scheduled for Sep 21-22.

However, the fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. Sky-high personal savings, soaring corporate profits, businesses’ eagerness to expand the scale of operations and recruit more manpower and the Biden administrations’ proposed infrastructure plans should drive Wall Street in the rest of 2021.

At this stage, it will be prudent to invest in S&P 500 stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank that have witnessed positive earnings estimate revisions within the last 30 days. The combination of these two features is expected to drive stock prices in the near future.

Immediate Concerns

On Sep 8, the Fed published its Beige Book wherein it was stated that from early July through August, economic growth in the United States “downshifted slightly to a moderate pace.” The reasons were the resurgence of coronavirus, lingering supply-chain disruptions and a shortage of labor.

Nonfarm payrolls in August were highly disappointing. The index of both consumer confidence and consumer sentiment dropped significantly last month. Manufacturing and services PMIs declined in August, but remained elevated. Inflation rates stayed at a 30-year high.

Consumer spending, the largest component of U.S. GDP, rose a mere 0.3% in July after jumping 1.1% in June. The gradual fading out of the fiscal stimulus and the spread of the Delta string are the main reasons for this drop in personal spending. The stimulus money will reduce further as the weekly unemployment benefit terminated on Sep 6.

On Sep 8, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that the Treasury Department would exhaust at some point of time in October, its extended efforts to timely pay the federal government’s bills and urged Congress to raise or suspend the debt limit for preventing a default. Yellen stated in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that a delay could cause “irreparable damage to the U.S. economy and global financial markets.”

Future Drivers

The above-mentioned negatives will also act as positives for the U.S. economy. The Fed is unlikely to change its ongoing ultra-dovish monetary policies anytime soon as Fed Chair Jerome Powell clearly said that the economy has to improve a lot, especially related to the labor market, to achieve the Fed’s target of substantial progress. The central bank will think about readjusting accommodative stances only after the economy achieves that target.

After September, the Fed’s next FOMC meeting will be held in November. Even if the central bank takes any sort of tapering decision in that meeting, the actual implementation is unlikely to take place before early 2022. As a result, a hike in the benchmark interest rate, which is currently as low as 0-0.25%, will possibly not materialize before late 2023.

Moreover, a lack of weekly unemployment benefits may reduce personal consumption expenditure (“PCE”). Therefore, the resurgence of coronavirus and the lack of fiscal stimulus are expected to reduce demand-pull inflation.

The Institute of Supply Management revealed in its U.S. manufacturing PMI report for August that the Prices Paid Index (input costs to manufacturers) dropped to 79.4% in August from 85.7% in July and 92.1% in June. The gradual decline in this key index has clearly indicated that the cost-push inflation in the U.S. economy is possibly dwindling.

Finally, total earnings of the S&P 500 Index are currently projected to grow 26.2% year over year on 13.7% higher revenues in third-quarter 2021 after earnings soared 94.6% on 24% higher revenues in second-quarter 2021. Total earnings of the S&P 500 are expected climb 42.6% year over year on 13.0% higher revenues in 2021 and increase 9.3% year over year on 6.7% higher revenues in 2022.

Montreal, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2021) – Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: VSR) (OTCQX: VMNGF) (FSE: 1V8) ("Vanstar", or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is initiating a drilling program on its Felix property. A drill is expected to arrive on site this week to initiate a 2,000 m drill program that was designed to test gold targets within an iron formation identified with geophysics.

A recently completed IP survey focused on a western portion of the property underlain by a folded banded iron formation (Figure 1) identified a number of chargeability and resistivity anomalies that are consistent with previously reported MEGATEM conductors. As a result, the Company has designed its drilling program (Figure 2) to intercept several conductors associated with the structural fold of the iron formation.

Nelligan

Drilling on Nelligan is proceeding well with the infill drilling portion of the program completed. Drilling on the western extension of the deposit has begun and intends to step out to the west in 200 m increments to expand on the known mineralization. J.C. St-Amour, President and CEO, recently visited the property and stated "We are pleased to see the drilling progressing well and to see the efforts that IAMGOLD are putting into the project. Drill samples are in the assay lab and will be release as they become available to the company."

Mr. St-Amour conducted an interview from the core shack, which can be viewed here https://youtu.be/YqvPspGNpts.

Frida and Eva

The company is mobilizing a ground crew to conduct a prospecting and sampling program on the Frida and Eva projects. Work is expected to begin in and around September 14th.

About the Felix Project

The Felix project is located in an environment of volcano sedimentary origin comprising a unit of volcanic rock in the north, another in the south and the central part is occupied by sedimentary rocks. Late intrusions in the form of batholiths, plutons or dikes are also noted all around the property. The property rests mainly on the rocks of the Chicobi Group. The sedimentary basin contains mudstones and graphitic turbiditic sandstones, with a minor magnetite-chert and hematite-jasper banded iron formation and a conglomerate. A significant Algoma-type iron formation is present in the northern part of the property. The gold grades intersected in the historic drilling are located near the southern contact of the latter. In addition, the Chicobi-Nord regional fault crosses the northern part of the property. This fault, of regional dimension, borders the Normetal mining camp to the south. The project is located in the eastern extension of this mining camp where there are former massive sulphide mines and numerous gold showings, such as those of the former Perron gold mine which are actively worked on by Amex Exploration. Shear zones parallel to the Chicobi-Nord fault are also found in the sediments of the Chicobi Group and as evidenced by the Authier gold showings located west of the property.

Mr. Gilles Laverdière, consultant geologist and qualified person under NI 43-101 has read and approved this press release.

About Vanstar

Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. is a gold exploration company with properties located in Northern Québec at different stages of development. The Company owns a 25% interest in the Nelligan project (3.2 million inferred ounces Au, NI 43-101 October 2019) and 1% NSR. The Nelligan Project won the "Discovery of the Year" award at the 2019 Quebec Mineral Exploration Association Xplor Gala. Vanstar also owns 100% of the Felix property under development in the Chicobi Group (Abitibi mining camp, 65km East of Amex Perron property) and 100% of Amanda, a 7,679 ha property located on the Auclair formation with historic gold showings up to 12.1 g/t Au over 3 meters.

Point Roberts, Washington and Delta, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – September 9, 2021) – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases today's edition of Exploring Mining Podcast, featuring an exclusive interview with Kevin Drover, President, Chairman and CEO of Aurcana Silver Corporation (TSXV: AUN) (OTCQX: AUNFF).

Investorideas.com spoke with Kevin Drover, President, Chairman and CEO of Aurcana Silver Corporation (TSXV: AUN) (OTCQX: AUNFF), who said that the resumption of activity at the company's flagship Revenue-Virginius polymetallic mine in Ouray, Colorado – which initiated commissioning with development ore on August 27, 2021 – puts Aurcana on track for success.

"This brings us back into the group of "producer" again and this is something that we've been wanting to do since I took over Aurcana in mid 2014," Drover said.

A recent press release reported initial assay results from the mine's 1800 drift level, which showed an "average undiluted grade over 78 feet of drift of 54.0 (33.9 diluted to a minimum mining width of 1.5 ft) ounces per ton silver equivalent (AgEq)1 per short ton (ST)." The vein's actual width turned out to be 1.19ft, higher than the modeled width of 0.23 feet, on which Drover commented:

"It bodes very well for what we can expect to mine when we're in the stope itself."

The aforementioned vein is the Virginius vein which currently commands most of the company's attention, but Drover went on to discuss the other veins at Revenue-Virginius.

"We have nine major veins on our property," he said. "We're going to be mining [the Virginius vein] for the next seven years for sure, and probably a lot longer than that. We do have the Terrible vein, the Yellow Rose, the Wheel of Fortune – and all of these veins have all been in production at one time in the past, but we just haven't had the chance to get to them to do a large amount of exploration at this stage. We are doing some work on the Wheel of Fortune, and we hope to be able to get a drilling program completed on that sometime in the not too distant future. But right now our focus is on the Virginius vein, of course, and getting ourselves positioned so that we can get up to full production from that vein."

Drover explained that while Aurcana's original intention to become cash flow positive by September has been delayed, the company is still on track to ramp up production.

"We had originally anticipated being cash flow positive in September, but of course we've been delayed a month," he said. "That delay was caused by congestion on the 1800 level."

"We're looking at October now before we're going to be hitting cash flow positive, but we're pretty certain that October is going to be the month when we will hit our numbers," he said. "We'll get up to 270 tons per day, and be cash flow positive. Over the course of September we're going to be ramping up from about 130 tons per day to about 270 in October.

In the future, in 2022-23, we'll be looking to expand that 270 up toward the 500 tons a day, and get up toward the 6-6.5 million ounce production number."

With activities resumed on the property, Aurcana foresees the possibility of mine life extending past feasibility study projections.

"The Revenue-Virginius mine, as per the feasibility study, has a seven year mine life," Drover said. "We certainly anticipate decades. We still have to do the homework, but we intend to be developing toward the north on our 1800, 1500, and 1200 levels, and we anticipate that the Virginius vein runs another 8,000 feet of strike length. We think we're going to be mining there in excess of 20 years."

Though the company's recent news has been focused on the Revenue-Virginius property, Drover also discussed the status of the company's Shafter-Presidio Silver Project in Texas.

"We are doing some work on the Shafter project," he said. "It's going to be a mine again, it's pure silver. We are doing a new resource estimate on that that we hope to have out soon. We are looking to possibly do a drill program later in this year to expand the resource somewhat, and to get samples for metallurgical testing. Sometime in the first half of 2022 we anticipate initiating a feasibility study, and, pending a positive feasibility study, we would probably be in a position to make a production decision sometime in the mid 2022 to third quarter of 2022."

The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But on the bright side, you can make far more than 100% on a really good stock. For instance, the price of EROAD Limited (NZSE:ERD) stock is up an impressive 175% over the last five years. The last week saw the share price soften some 3.5%.

So let's assess the underlying fundamentals over the last 5 years and see if they've moved in lock-step with shareholder returns.

View our latest analysis for EROAD

We don't think that EROAD's modest trailing twelve month profit has the market's full attention at the moment. We think revenue is probably a better guide. As a general rule, we think this kind of company is more comparable to loss-making stocks, since the actual profit is so low. For shareholders to have confidence a company will grow profits significantly, it must grow revenue.

For the last half decade, EROAD can boast revenue growth at a rate of 26% per year. That's well above most pre-profit companies. Meanwhile, its share price performance certainly reflects the strong growth, given the share price grew at 22% per year, compound, during the period. This suggests the market has well and truly recognized the progress the business has made. EROAD seems like a high growth stock – so growth investors might want to add it to their watchlist.

The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).

It's good to see that there was some significant insider buying in the last three months. That's a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. This free report showing analyst forecasts should help you form a view on EROAD

A Different Perspective

It's good to see that EROAD has rewarded shareholders with a total shareholder return of 38% in the last twelve months. That gain is better than the annual TSR over five years, which is 22%. Therefore it seems like sentiment around the company has been positive lately. Given the share price momentum remains strong, it might be worth taking a closer look at the stock, lest you miss an opportunity. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for EROAD you should be aware of.

There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying.

TORONTO, Sept. 09, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Collective Mining Ltd. (TSXV: CNL) (“Collective” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a strategic alliance has been executed with the Government of Caldas, Corpocaldas (the autonomous regional environmental agency for Caldas), local municipalities and the Company to develop a community-based ecotourism destination at Cerro Viringo.

Cerro Viringo, which is located in the Hojas Anchas village within the municipality of Supía, is an important landform that has been declared an area of high environmental importance by Corpocaldas and the municipal council of Supía. It is comprised of fifty hectares of native forest and supplies water to the local aqueduct for the municipality of Marmato and three other nearby communities.​ Cerro Viringo has been recognized as the most important environmental conservation area in Supía.

The project, which is officially named “Ecotourism in the Cerro Viringo Natural Park,” is expected to benefit approximately 290 people and help to reactivate the economy of the Hojas Anchas village community. Additionally, the development of this project will be three-dimensional consisting of environmental conservation, community-based tourism and local economic development. Visitors will be able to interact with the rich biodiversity of the area through recreational activities based upon the principles of sound environmental stewardship.

Over the next few months, Collective will be providing integral leadership to the consortium in structuring the project, which, upon completion, will be presented to FONTUR (government entity in charge of promoting tourism), for project financing. Development of the project is expected to begin in 2022 and culminate in 2023.

“We are pleased to have been invited to be part of this initiative as it aligns with our strict adherence to responsible mining goals by promoting stewardship of natural and cultural resources in our area of operations. As a new entrant to the region, another added benefit of this alliance will be to provide the Company with the opportunity to forge new relationships with individuals residing within our project’s area of influence,” commented Ari Sussman, Executive Chairman of Collective.

“With the Viringo Project, we are looking to preserve our areas of environmental interest and to reactivate the local economy. The alliance with authorities, communities and private companies, such as Collective Mining, are fundamental to this purpose,” commented Marco Londoño, Mayor of Supía.

Omar Ossma, CEO and President of Collective stated, “Since our arrival in Caldas we have focused on promoting important initiatives associated to water conservation in the region. Cerro Viringo is one of the most important projects to date, and we are pleased and honored to be a part of such a worthy development opportunity.”
