VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV: SMY | OTCQB: SHCMF) (“Search” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its 7000m drilling program at DEEP FOX, located in our Port Hope Simpson – St. Lewis Critical Rare Earth Elements (CREE) District in SE Labrador, which begun in June 2021.
DEEP FOX DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE
The drill program commenced June 2, 2021, with our expectation of 7000m of drilling and completion of between 40-45 drill holes.
Drilling program objectives:
extend the current resource (see Search Minerals News Release, Oct. 1, 2019) to the 200m level with a 50m x 50m grid;
drill on a 25 x 25m grid to the 50m level;
drill two cross-sections (25m spacing) to the 200m level; and
explore to the 250m level.
Drilling program progress:
completed 3900 m of drilling and 28 drill holes;
shipped 1260 samples for assay.
Remaining timeline:
complete the 7000m program near September 1, 2021
HQ geotechnical drill program will consist of 8-10 holes, 1800-2000m, and commence after the completion of DEEP FOX drill program (early September)
complete assay results should be received within 6 weeks of completion of the program.
Dr. Randy Miller, Vice-President, Exploration comments, “All drill holes completed to date have intersected mineralization that is visually similar to that analyzed from previous drill programs. The addition of geologist Andrea MacFarlane and another support staff to our team has greatly improved our ability to log, test and sample core for assay. We will report our assay and drilling results once all the assays have been received and interpretations have been completed.”
The drill program is designed to provide data to estimate a resource for an open pit to the 200m level. The 25m grid and cross-section drill holes will help to evaluate what density of drilling is required to estimate a measured and indicated resource for a Bankable Feasibility study. The Company will prepare an updated resource estimate following the completion of this drilling program.
The Geotechnical drill program will be used to determine the geotechnical parameters of the proposed open pit to mine the deposit.
Greg Andrews, President/CEO states, “Our immediate goal is to advance our Critical Rare Earth Element District to production. This will require (a) advancing our DEEP FOX project to a measured and indicated resource, (b) provide engineering and economic studies such as Preliminary Economic Assessments and Feasibility Studies and (c) develop and submit an Environmental Assessment report to initiate the environmental and permitting process for DEEP FOX.”
The DEEP FOX DEPOSIT occurs about 2 km northeast of St. Lewis and 12 km east of the FOXTROT DEPOSIT.
Search is following the COVID protocols which are currently in place within the Province of Newfoundland & Labrador to ensure the safety of our employees and the communities where we work.
Qualified Person:
Dr. Randy Miller, Ph.D., P.Geo, is the Company's Vice President, Exploration, and Qualified Person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) who has supervised the preparation of and approved the technical information reported herein. The Company will endeavour to meet high standards of integrity, transparency, and consistency in reporting technical content, including geological and assay (e.g., REE) data.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Medallion Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MDL; OTCQB: MLLOF; Frankfurt: MRDN) – (“Medallion” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide a summary of an independent Techno-Economic Assessment (“TEA”) for Medallion’s proprietary process (the “Medallion Monazite Process”) that enables sustainable extraction of rare earth elements (“REE”) from mineral sand monazite. The TEA was completed by process engineering and simulation specialists Simulus Engineers (Australia).
The Medallion Monazite Process is a proprietary method and related business model to achieve low-cost REE production utilizing mineral sand monazite. Monazite is a rare earth phosphate mineral globally available as a by-product from heavy mineral sand mining operations.
The Medallion Monazite Process is a unique commercial offering, developed by utilizing process intensification principles. It is a highly optimized and automated design that is transferable to many global locations and scalable in size as REE demand grows. Medallion has recently paired this process with patented REE separation technology developed by Purdue University.
Key Points
Medallion has received from Simulus Engineers comprehensive process flow diagrams, equipment lists, reagent, energy and personnel requirements and energy, heat and mass balances for the Medallion Monazite Process.
Engineering was completed at an assumed 7,000 tonnes per annum scale. The TEA has demonstrated the technical and financial viability of the Medallion Monazite Process at this scale.
Such a facility would deliver approximately 870 tonnes per annum of neodymium (“Nd”) and praseodymium (“Pr”) oxide in cerium-depleted mixed carbonate form.
Nd and Pr oxide are the key inputs for rare earth element permanent magnet production, currently priced at around US$80,000 per tonne.
REE permanent magnets are high growth markets due to their importance for electric mobility and renewable power generation.
Other products from the Medallion Monazite Process include cerium (“Ce”) oxide and trisodium phosphate (“TSP”).
The developed process is zero-liquid waste delivering a high degree of flexibility in the choice of prospective operating locations.
The engineered plant is very modest in land use footprint, energy and transport needs, and is comprised of conventional off-the-shelf plant and equipment, allowing for a short procurement to production lead time.
The engineering data has allowed development of an independent and comprehensive financial model prepared by Denco Strategic Research & Consulting Inc. that can be easily updated for changes to process location and operating assumptions. In the modelled “base case” scenario, a southeastern USA setting was assumed for capital and operating costs, while REE ratios from US-sourced mineral sand monazite was used to model REE outputs.
a capital cost estimate of US$34m was determined from engineered components (not including site specific costs) for an assumed 7,000 tonne monazite per annum process facility. Capital costs can now be scaled for offtake or partner specific supply conditions.
an operating cost of US$12 per kg of cerium-depleted mixed REE oxide (not including monazite supply costs).
an operating cost of US$28 per kg of NdPr in cerium-depleted mixed REE oxide (not including monazite supply costs; no discounting for co-product value) is modelled.
labor is the largest individual operating cost, providing the possibility to markedly lower operating costs by expanding processing capacity and throughput to achieve labor efficiencies.
NdPr is the largest market by value in the REE sector and accounts for approximately 80% of revenue achieved from typical mineral sand monazite feedstock.
Medallion recently invested with Purdue University to gain an exclusive license for proprietary environmentally-friendly REE separation technology (Ligand Assisted Displacement (“LAD”) Chromatography).
This process, while presenting a substantial value add option, has not been modelled in the TEA.
LAD Chromatography provides the opportunity to directly pass a pregnant leach solution from extraction stage to separation stage, maximizing recovery and minimizing cost.
A parallel Life Cycle Assessment (“LCA”) model will be delivered by Minviro Ltd in coming weeks that summarizes the environmental impact of the process and highlights the advantages of utilizing by-product materials.
The TEA integrates and summarizes research completed to date on the Medallion Monazite Process and is a pivotal engineering and financial study. The models used in the TEA are designed to be iterative and can be updated for any global setting/scenario. It is designed to guide the Medallion Board of Directors in the future investment decisions of the Company.
Research and execution plans are being developed internally for both the monazite and LAD processes to guide on-going research.
Based on the operating assumptions of the TEA, results indicate the Medallion Monazite Process is technically viable and presents positive economics for the extraction of REE from mineral sand monazite. The specific process conditions and supporting financial results constitute proprietary information for Medallion that will be shared with partners and prospective licensees under non-disclosure agreements.
“We are very pleased to have reached the TEA milestone, which indicates the technical and financial viability of the Medallion Monazite Process,” commented Mark Saxon, President and CEO. “Over the past decade, Medallion has remained committed to the vision of developing technology to reduce the environmental impact of REE production. The process developed does not require new mining but utilizes a high-grade relatively low-value by-product from heavy mineral sand mining. We are now discussing opportunities with partners and prospective licensees under NDA’s and developing business models to maximize value from past investment.”
Medallion has completed ten years of research and test work with various service providers to develop a proprietary technology for the extraction of rare earth elements from mineral sand monazite. Medallion’s caustic cracking method was developed with economic and sustainability goals, seeking to minimize process cost while maximizing the resource efficiency of REE production and ensuring waste materials are minimized and captured. More than 90% of the raw material feedstock becomes saleable products within the Medallion Monazite Process.
The developed technology is a modular and transferable method to sustainably produce rare earth elements from a by-product mineral widely available from global operating mineral sand mines. A vast majority of mineral sand mining occurs within the Australia, Africa and Southeast Asian regions. Currently monazite from these operations is either sold to Chinese customers or left on site where it achieves no value. A sustainable and efficient process to extract REEs from mineral sand monazite can deliver REE security without the need for additional mining.
The Medallion Board is reviewing the TEA results to make determinations about Medallion’s further investments toward developing and monetizing the Medallion Monazite Process. Independent financial modelling and market research has indicated a licensing/partnership business approach with parties that have access to mineral sand monazite is likely most appropriate during the current high monazite price environment. As a result, Medallion is actively seeking opportunities for collaboration and technology licensing with mineral sand mining companies within favorable jurisdictions.
Medallion continues to assess acquisition and investment opportunities within the REE and mining sectors.

* Brine volumes are reported using a conservative aquifer average specific yield (SY) of 15%. Due to the nature of brine deposits, it is not relevant to estimate Mineral Resources to a specific cut-off grade. However, a nominal grade cut-off value of 230 mg/L Li has been applied for reporting purposes only.
# Based on standard conversion rates, and assumes full extraction and conversion.
LCE = Lithium Carbonate Equivalent; conversion factor 5.324 (Ministry of Energy and Mines, British Columbia, Canada).
LiCl = Lithium Chloride; conversion factor 6.1078
Figures have been rounded. Well efficiency and production efficiency are modifying factors to resources and reserves, respectively.
The Qualified Person who prepared the brine resource estimate in the Report is Llyle Sawyer, MAIG of Geos. The effective date for the estimate is June 4, 2021.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and the Company cannot guarantee that the resources reported here will be converted to mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability."
Kirill Klip, Executive Chairman of the Company commented, "I am very pleased to see this 55% increase in measured and indicated resources after the previously announced in 2020 increase of more than 250% in measured and indicated resources from the 2017 resource estimate at Mariana Lithium Project. We extend our congratulations to Ganfeng on the successful approval of the Environmental Impact Report by the Salta regional government in Argentina and granted approvals for the construction of a plant with a designed annualized capacity of 20,000 tonnes per annum of lithium chloride.
We are very pleased to see that this new plan represents a 100% increase of previously planned lithium annual production rate presented in the Mariana Project preliminary economic assessment ("PEA"), announced in our news release of January 28, 2019. It was the first PEA on the project that provided a potential value for the total NSR Royalty from Mariana's life of mine cashflow, which has now been very significantly increased.
We welcome the news from the Salta regional government disclosed in a news release following its discussions with Ganfeng that the likely project expenditure from now to bring the Mariana Project to full production is around US$600 million.
TNR Gold does not have to contribute any capital for the development of Mariana and our NSR Royalty does not depend on the size of ILC's potentially diluted ownership in the Mariana Project. The 1.8% Mariana NSR Royalty is a very important part of TNR Gold's portfolio. The essence of our business model is to have industry leaders like Ganfeng Lithium as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders."
The ILC press releases and website material appear to be prepared by Qualified Persons and the procedures, methodology and key assumptions disclosed therein are those adopted and consistently applied in the mining industry, but no Qualified Person engaged by TNR has done sufficient work to analyze, interpret, classify or verify ILC's information to determine the current mineral resource or other information referred to in its press releases. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned in placing any reliance on the disclosures therein.

This is a resumption of Phase 2 diamond drilling at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone, located within the northern region of the Golden Promise Property, which hosts five gold bearing quartz veins systems, being the Jaclyn Main, Jaclyn North, Jaclyn South, Jaclyn East and Jaclyn West Zones. The current Phase 2 drilling will include up to 33 drill holes, totalling approximately 5,000 metres, at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone with holes planned at the Jaclyn Main Zone and Jaclyn North Zone.
Drill hole GP-21-149, an in-fill hole, was drilled to a length of 96 meters, within the west region of the Jaclyn Main Zone between 2019 drill holes which had intersected high grade gold mineralization. Drilling is underway on GP-21-150, also an in-fill hole in the western part of the Jaclyn Main Zone. Multiple quartz veins were intersected in GP-21-149, with visible gold evident in a 0.30-meter long (core length) quartz vein intersected between 50.10 to 50.40 meters. Drill core from GP-21-149 is currently being geologically logged and sampled at the company's secure facility in central Newfoundland prior to being submitted to a certified laboratory for gold assay and multi-element analysis.
The objective of these holes and subsequent holes is to further define the zone and provide information for an updated resource estimate. Most of these holes are planned within the central to west region of the zone, testing above 200 metres vertical depth, with two holes planned in the east part of the Jaclyn Main Zone to test the zone at 200 to 350 metres vertical depth.
Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade gold at the Jaclyn Main Zone during 2019 drilling, including near surface intercepts of 113.07 grams per tonne gold over 0.55 metres and 61.35 grams per tonne gold over 2.04 metres, and 15.8 grams per tonne gold over 2.70 metres, plus an interval of multiple gold bearing veins in one drill hole averaging 2.30 grams per tonne gold over 25.25 metres. The planned drilling at the Jaclyn North Zone will further test the area east of historic drill holes including the area of an approximate 300-metre long zone of gold-bearing quartz vein boulders.
Three drill holes completed by the company during 2020 in this area intersected gold bearing quartz veins and extended the Jaclyn North quartz vein system approximately 260 metres east of historic drilling. The company collected gold bearing quartz boulder samples in this area during 2017, including samples returning 163, 208 and 332 grams per tonne and again in 2020 including samples returning 17.4, 26.7 and 157.6 grams per tonne gold.
The company reported a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate during late 2018 for the Jaclyn Main Zone of 357,500 tonnes at 10.4 grams per tonne gold for 119,000 ounces uncapped.
The Golden Promise Property is located within a region of recent significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup, a volcano-sedimentary terrane. Recent significant gold discoveries within the Exploits Subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSX.MOZ) at the Valentine Gold Project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV.NFG) at the Queensway Project.
Viewers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Project, the Moosehead Gold Project, the Queensway Project, and elsewhere within the Exploits Subzone is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on the company's Golden Promise Property.
Great Atlantic, with a number of properties in the Atlantic provinces, is utilizing a Project Generation model, with a special focus on critical elements which are prominent in Atlantic Canada, such as Antimony, Tungsten and Gold.

There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Fancamp’s expectations include, among others, uncertainties relating to the development of the relevant mining properties and risks relating to the terms and duration of any government orders suspending or limiting operations that are applicable to Fancamp or the relevant mining properties; the responses of relevant governments to the COVID-19 outbreak and the effectiveness of such responses, political, economic, environmental and permitting risks, mining operational and development risks, litigation risks, regulatory restrictions, environmental and permitting restrictions and liabilities, the inability of Fancamp to raise capital or secure necessary financing in the future, as well as factors discussed in the section entitled "Risks and Uncertainties" in Fancamp’s management’s discussion and analysis of Fancamp’s financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2021. Although Fancamp has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Fancamp considers its assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, but there can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 13, 2021 / GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV:GR) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it has completed the first hole (GP-21-149) of the 2021 diamond drilling program at its Golden Promise Gold Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt. The hole, completed at the Jaclyn Main Zone, intersected multiple quartz veins. Visible gold is evident in one vein.
Quartz Vein with Visible Gold in GP-21-149
Drill hole GP-21-149 is an in-fill hole, drilled between 2019 drill holes which intersected high grade gold mineralization. GP-21-149 was drilled within the west region of the Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ). It was drilled to a length of 96 meters. The current drilling is part of the Company's Phase 2 diamond drilling program at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone. Drill core from GP-21-149 is currently being geologically logged and sampled at the Company's secure facility in central Newfoundland. Multiple quartz veins were intersected in GP-21-149. Visible gold is evident in a 0.30-meter long (core length) quartz vein intersected at 50.10-50.40 meters. Drill core samples from GP-21-149 will be submitted to a certified laboratory for gold assay and multi-element analysis.
Drilling is underway on GP-21-150, also an in-fill hole in the western part of the JMZ.
The current Phase 2 drilling will include up to 33 drill holes at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone with holes planned at the JMZ and Jaclyn North Zone with total planned drilling of approximately 5,000 meters. The objective of drilling at the JMZ is to further define the zone and provide information for an updated resource estimate of the JMZ. The Company is continuing the drill hole numbering system from previous drilling programs. Most of the planned holes at the JMZ are within the central to west region of the zone, testing above 200 meters vertical depth. Two holes are planned in the east part of the JMZ to test the zone at 200-350 meters vertical depth.
Quartz Vein with Visible Gold in GP-21-149
Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate during late 2018 for the JMZ of 357,500 tonnes at 10.4 g/t gold (119,900 ounces of gold – uncapped).
The Company confirmed high-grade gold at the JMZ during 2019 drilling, including near surface intercepts (core length) of 113.07 grams / tonne (g/t) gold over 0.55 meters, 61.35 g/t gold over 2.04 meters and 15.8 g/t gold over 2.70 meters plus an interval of multiple gold bearing veins in one drill hole averaging 2.30 g/t gold over 25.25 meters.
The Golden Promise Property is located within a region of recent significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane. The northwestern margin of the Golden Promise Property occurs proximal to, and, in part, contiguous with a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, known as the RIL. The RIL forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant gold discoveries within the Exploits Subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp. (MOZ) at the Valentine Gold Project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and New Found Gold Corp. (NFG) at the Queensway Project. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Project, Moosehead Gold Project, and Queensway Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization the Golden Promise Property.

MONTREAL, July 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX-V: MD), in partnership with Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd (“Wallbridge”), is pleased to report that an important drilling program is currently in preparation to test new high-priority drilling targets identified on the Casault project. This project, wholly owned by Midland and under option since June 2020 by Wallbridge (see press release by Midland dated June 18, 2020), is located along the Sunday Lake Fault, stretching from approximately 10 to 45 kilometres west of the Fenelon Gold Property held by Wallbridge, where an active drill program in support of a maiden resource estimate is currently underway.
On June 30, 2021, Midland received from Wallbridge the $110,000 cash payment due on the first anniversary of the option agreement. The technical committee is planning to meet in mid-July to finalize the prioritization of targets to be tested during a drilling program totalling approximately 5,000 metres, scheduled to begin in August 2021. These targets will namely include geophysical anomalies strategically positioned near favourable structures based on recent interpretations, as well as new geological targets based on the results of field reconnaissance work currently underway in the north part of the property. These targets occur in a similar geologic setting as Wallbridge’s Martiniere deposits, located less than 5 kilometres to the east, which have a historic indicated resource of 7,919,598 tonnes at 2.32 g/t Au for 590,642 oz and historic inferred resource of 363,420 t @ 4.57 g/t Au for 53,344 oz.
The Casault property is wholly owned by Midland and consists of 322 claims (177 square kilometres) covering the Sunday Lake Fault over more than 20 kilometres strike length. The property is also located approximately 40 kilometres east of the Detour Lake mine.
Cautionary statement:
Mineralization occurring at Detour Lake and Fenelon Gold is not necessarily representative of mineralization that may be found on the Casault project held by Midland described in this press release.
About Wallbridge
Wallbridge is currently advancing the exploration and development of its 100%‒owned Fenelon Gold property which is located along the Detour‒Fenelon Gold Trend, an emerging gold belt in northwestern Québec. The Company completed approximately 102,000 metres of drilling in 2020 and has begun a fully‒funded 2021 program of approximately 170,000 metres of drilling and 2,500 metres of underground exploration development (Phase 1 of a 10,000‒metre program). The Company intends to complete a maiden mineral resource on the Fenelon Gold System in the third quarter of 2021.
About Midland
Midland targets the excellent mineral potential of Quebec to make the discovery of new world-class deposits of gold, platinum group elements and base metals. Midland is proud to count on reputable partners such as Wallbridge Mining Company Ltd, BHP Canada Inc., Probe Metals Inc., Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, Osisko Development Corp., SOQUEM INC., Nunavik Mineral Exploration Fund, and Abcourt Mines Inc. Midland prefers to work in partnership and intends to quickly conclude additional agreements in regard to newly acquired properties.

Mr. Smith has used incomplete, faulty and misleading disclosure in his activist circular, and needs to correct this information immediately in a new circular.
KPMG continues its forensic investigation of Mr. Smith’s prior misuse of corporate funds and corporate assets.
Shareholders are encouraged to continue voting on the GOLD proxy. Shareholders with questions on voting should contact Kingsdale Advisors at 1-800-749-9890 or contactus@kingsdaleadvisors.com.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 09, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp" or the "Corporation") (TSX Venture Exchange: FNC) would like to thank shareholders for their overwhelming support on the GOLD proxy as it continues to investigate Mr. Peter H. Smith’s conduct during his 30-year tenure at the Corporation. Mr. Smith spent 30 years using Fancamp as his personal bank account and it appears that he is planning to keep doing so in the future. Even worse, Mr. Smith has deliberately avoided disclosing how much he intends to take from the Corporation if he wins the proxy fight, all while asking shareholders to support him.
Shareholders need to know the truth about Mr. Smith. As the formal forensic investigation, with the assistance of KPMG International Ltd. ("KPMG") is advancing, Fancamp requires that Mr. Smith update and mail a revised circular that properly discloses his true intention for the use of corporate funds.
Mr. Smith’s Misleading Circular Disclosure Requires Remailing
While Mr. Smith claims he is on shareholders’ side, both his past and current actions tell a different story. Mr. Smith has tried to trick shareholders into obtaining their votes by omitting:
How much he plans to take from the Corporation to fund his self-serving proxy fight, and
The number of shares (common or special) he owns in Fancamp’s subsidiary, The Magpie Mines Inc. ("Magpie"), a valuable corporate asset which he personally controls.
The Corporation believes Mr. Smith has withheld this and other information intentionally to ensure it does not negatively impact what should be the balanced view of shareholders.
Mr. Smith started this proxy fight to regain control of the Corporation and has indicated he will use Fancamp’s money to personally repay himself for certain expenses; however, he has been purposely vague on the actual amount. Mr. Smith acknowledges in his circular that he will seek to be reimbursed $170,000 for proxy solicitation, but does not specify the extensive fees of his legal counsel and other advisors, nor the $527,000 his is seeking through the courts in retaliation for the for-cause termination of his consulting agreement with the Corporation. Taken together, the Corporation believes Mr. Smith will seek over $1 million to repay himself for the proxy contest he started.
Even if Mr. Smith and his legal counsel do not agree on the clear need for this transparency, they should take the advice of Mr. Smith’s proxy solicitor, who had previously and correctly argued for the importance of such disclosure. To paraphrase Gryphon Advisors in Australis Capital Inc.’s proxy fight (October 22, 2020) against Terry Booth:
"…this means that [Mr. Smith] and his Dissidents, if able to gain control of your Board and Company, will then seek to cover their fees with shareholders’ cash. Historically, the shareholder value destruction associated with [Mr. Smith] and his Dissident Nominees has taken some time. At [Fancamp], it would be immediate, material and come directly out of your pocket."1
Fancamp agrees with the statement above.
Mr. Smith also failed to disclose his interest in Magpie, a valuable corporate asset that he paralyzed for his own personal benefit. Mr. Smith is required to disclose "the number of securities of each class of the venture issuer and any of its subsidiaries beneficially owned, or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly." However, Mr. Smith’s circular makes no reference to his Magpie common or special shares.
Additionally, Mr. Smith was required to pay for his Magpie special shares. However, early findings from KPMG’s forensic investigation found that Mr. Smith did not pay cash for his Magpie special shares, and despite his recent claims that he provided services for Magpie in exchange for the shares, there was no evidence of any such services being provided.
Unlike Mr. Smith, Fancamp believes it is critically important for shareholders to have a complete and transparent view of their investment and Corporation. While Mr. Smith has noted he "will seek reimbursement from Fancamp," he has failed to properly disclose how much he plans to take from Fancamp. Specifically, the circular indicates that Mr. Smith will ask Fancamp to pay for his legal fees but does not disclose the quantum of these fees. Fancamp believes that Mr. Smith should disclose this information, so that shareholders are fully informed when they vote.
Independent Forensic Investigation Continuing Despite Mr. Smith’s Non-Cooperation
The Corporation is pleased to share that the formal forensic investigation, with the assistance of KPMG, is advancing. However, given the extensive nature of the investigation, Mr. Smith’s failure to provide related documentation, and generally poor history of corporate record keeping in his time as CEO, more time is required to complete the investigation. The Corporation looks forward to providing full updates to shareholders as soon as possible.

Forward-looking Statements
This news release includes certain statements which are not comprised of historical facts and that constitute "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe Fancamp’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Fancamp or its management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", "foresees" or "plan". Since forward-looking statements are based on multiple factors, assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to Fancamp, Fancamp provides no assurance that actual results will meet the management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially or simply fail to materialize from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Fancamp’s expectations include, among others, uncertainties relating to the development of the relevant mining properties and risks relating to the terms and duration of any government orders suspending or limiting operations that are applicable to Fancamp or the relevant mining properties; the responses of relevant governments to the COVID-19 outbreak and the effectiveness of such responses, political, economic, environmental and permitting risks, mining operational and development risks, litigation risks, regulatory restrictions, environmental and permitting restrictions and liabilities, the inability of Fancamp to raise capital or secure necessary financing in the future, as well as factors discussed in the section entitled "Risks and Uncertainties" in Fancamp’s management’s discussion and analysis of Fancamp’s financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2021. Although Fancamp has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Fancamp considers its assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, but there can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund exploration expenditures on its Vallee, Preissac, Lacorne and Baillarge lithium mining properties and for general corporate purposes.
Rene Bharti, chief executive officer of Jourdan, commented, “We are excited to use the proceeds from this offering to accelerate our planned drilling campaign, which is the next step on our path to defining an initial mineral resource estimate. To that end, we have been ramping up exploration activities, most recently with a visit by our executive chairman, Dr. Andreas Rompel, to our Vallee property in Val d’Or to inspect the planned drill sites.”
Insiders of the Company subscribed for Units pursuant to the Offering (the “Insider Participation”). The Insider Participation is considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Insider Participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before closing the Offering as the details of the abovementioned Insider Participation were not settled until shortly prior to closing, and the Company wished to close the Offering on an expedited basis.

Under the NCIB, Globex will be entitled to repurchase for cancellation up to 1,000,000 common shares, representing approximately 1.82% of Globex’s issued and outstanding shares as of June 30, 2021, over a twelve-month period starting on July 12, 2021 and ending on July 11, 2022. The purchases by Globex will be effected through the facilities of the TSX and on other alternative trading systems in Canada, and will be made at the market price of the shares at the time of the purchase. Globex had 55,089,817 common shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2021, of which 48,708,726 shares constitute the “public float”.
During the most recently completed six months, the average daily trading volume for Globex’s common shares on the TSX was 91,628 shares.

In addition, Globex may make, once per calendar week, a block purchase (as such term is defined in the TSX Company Manual) of common shares not directly or indirectly owned by insiders of Globex, in accordance with the policies of the TSX.
Globex intends to acquire the common shares because it believes that the repurchase of common shares at certain market prices is beneficial to Globex and its shareholders. Globex intends to make any purchases on an opportunistic basis, taking share price and other considerations into account.
Any purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the requirements of the TSX. Except for exempt offers, Globex will make no purchases of common shares other than open market purchases during the period of the NCIB.
Under its previous NCIB, which entered into effect on March 13, 2020 and which expired on March 12, 2021, Globex was authorized to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares. Under the NCIB, Globex repurchased a total of 27,035 common shares at a volume weighted average purchase price of $0.6827 per share, through the facilities of the TSX and on alternative trading systems in Canada. All of the repurchased shares were cancelled by Globex.
Under Globex’s NCIB which entered into effect on March 12, 2019 and which expired on March 11, 2020, Globex was authorized to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares. Globex repurchased a total of 583,500 common shares at a volume weighted average purchase price of $0.3310 per share, all of which shares were cancelled by Globex.

55,089,817 shares issued and outstanding
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 08, 2021–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fancamp Exploration Ltd. ("Fancamp" or the "Corporation") (TSX Venture Exchange: FNC) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a royalty purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Champion Iron Mines Limited ("Champion"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Champion Iron Limited (TSX: CIA) (ASX: CIA) (OTCQX: CIAFF), whereby the Corporation will sell to Champion certain iron ore royalties as well as the exploration property known as Lac Lamêlée.
The Agreement provides that, in consideration of a $1.3 million payment in cash at closing, plus certain future finite production payments payable once certain iron ore production thresholds have been reached with respect to iron ore production from the Fermont Properties subject to this agreement, Champion will acquire the Corporation’s ownership interest in the Lac Lamêlée property and a 1.5% Net Smelter Return royalty interest in the O’Keefe-Purdy, Harvey-Tuttle, Bellechasse, Oil Can, Fire Lake North Consolidated, Peppler Lake and Moiré Lake properties, which are currently held by the Corporation (the "Transaction").
The Agreement, combined with the current market conditions, provides immediate and additional future benefits to Fancamp as projects are developed to production by Champion.
In addition to the immediate cash payment that will be paid to Fancamp, this Agreement is expected to provide Fancamp and its shareholders greater long-term certainty with respect to future income related to the Corporation’s iron ore properties, as well as greater flexibility and opportunity for earlier development of these deposits.
The Agreement is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Independent Fairness Opinion
Watts, Griffis and McOuat was retained by the Corporation in connection with the Agreement. Watts, Griffis and McOuat has provided the Fancamp Board of Directors with its opinion that the Agreement is fair from a financial and technical point of view.
Related Party and MI 61-101 Disclosure
As Champion holds 12.64% of the outstanding shares of Fancamp, it is considered a non-arm’s length party pursuant to TSX Venture Exchange policies. The Transaction also constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Fancamp is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the contemplated Transaction, not exceeding 25% of Fancamp’s market capitalization. A resolution of the board of directors of Fancamp was passed on July 8, 2021 approving the Transaction, with one director voting against the Transaction as part of the steps taken as a concerned shareholder. No special committee was established in connection with the Transaction. Fancamp did not file a material change report more than 21 days prior to the completion of the Transaction, the window of opportunity for signing the Agreement and closing the Transaction being immediate it would have been detrimental for the parties involved to wait 21 days.
About Fancamp Exploration Ltd. (TSX-V: FNC)

The Corporation owns numerous mineral resource properties in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick, including gold, rare earth metals, strategic and base metals, zinc, chromium, titanium and more.

The Corporation is managed by a new and focused leadership team with decades of mining, exploration and complementary technology experience.
Forward-looking Statements
This news release includes certain statements which are not comprised of historical facts and that constitute "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements that describe Fancamp’s future plans, objectives or goals, including words to the effect that Fancamp or its management expects a stated condition or result to occur. Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", "foresees" or "plan". Since forward-looking statements are based on multiple factors, assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to Fancamp, Fancamp provides no assurance that actual results will meet the management’s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially or simply fail to materialize from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, information and statements relating to future benefits arising from the Agreement and the development and future production of the relevant mining properties. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Fancamp’s expectations include, among others, uncertainties relating to the development of the relevant mining properties and risks relating to the terms and duration of any government orders suspending or limiting operations that are applicable to Fancamp or the relevant mining properties; the responses of relevant governments to the COVID-19 outbreak and the effectiveness of such responses, political, economic, environmental and permitting risks, mining operational and development risks, litigation risks, regulatory restrictions, environmental and permitting restrictions and liabilities, the inability of Fancamp to raise capital or secure necessary financing in the future, as well as factors discussed in the section entitled "Risks and Uncertainties" in Fancamp’s management’s discussion and analysis of Fancamp’s financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2021. Although Fancamp has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Fancamp considers its assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, but there can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 8, 2021) – TNR Gold Corp. (TSXV: TNR) ("TNR", "TNR Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that McEwen Mining Inc. ("McEwen") has created McEwen Copper Inc. and is organizing a private placement (the "Offering") of up to US$80 million as announced its news release dated July 6, 2021.
McEwen Copper intends to pursue an initial public listing within 12 months from the closing of the Offering. Proceeds from the Offering will be used exclusively by McEwen Copper to advance the Los Azules Copper Project to a pre-feasibility study, to construct a new year-round access road to the project, carry out exploration drilling at Los Azules, and to complete environmental permitting and community relations.
Rob McEwen, McEwen's Chairman and Chief Owner, stated, "This is a significant and exciting moment for McEwen Mining because of the value it should release. Currently, the market appears to be giving us little value for our Los Azules copper deposit, despite its impressive size and robust economics at present copper prices. Unfortunately, the scale of the required project development expenditures would require McEwen Mining to issue a massive number of additional shares. This share dilution would not be acceptable. However, we believe that by putting our copper assets, Los Azules and Elder Creek, into a separately listed company exclusively focused on copper, we can create an attractive copper investment vehicle. It will allow us to raise the money necessary to fund progress towards the rapid development of one of the world's largest copper resources. We expect that McEwen Copper will compare very favorably to other single-asset copper developers. Within 12 months of closing this Offering we plan to take the company public. In the interim, we will be investigating ways to make a share distribution to you, MUX shareowners, of a portion of McEwen Mining's holdings of McEwen Copper in a tax-efficient way."
The Los Azules Copper Project is an advanced large-scale porphyry copper exploration project located in the prolific Andean Cordillera copper belt, 56 miles (90 km) north of Glencore's El Pachón project and near the border with Chile. In 2017, McEwen Mining completed a positive Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the project, as announced by TNR Gold on November 2, 2017.
"I am very pleased to see this very exciting and significant development for the Los Azules Copper Project and personal support by Rob McEwen of the newly created McEwen Copper," stated Kirill Klip, TNR's Executive Chair. "It's very encouraging to see the personal commitment from Rob McEwen to advance the rapid development of this giant copper, gold and silver deposit in an appropriate corporate structure which will allow financing and further development of the Los Azules Copper Project.
TNR Gold holds a 0.36% NSR royalty on the entire Los Azules project containing copper, gold and silver metals. TNR Gold does not have to contribute any capital for the development of the Los Azules Copper Project. The essence of our business model is to have industry leaders like McEwen Mining as operators on the projects that will potentially generate royalty cashflows to contribute significant value for our shareholders."
ABOUT TNR GOLD CORP.
TNR Gold Corp. is working to become the green energy metals royalty and gold company.
Over the past twenty-five years, TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high-quality exploration projects around the globe. With the Company's expertise, resources and industry network, it identified the potential of the Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina and now holds a 0.36% NSR Royalty on the entire project, which is being developed by McEwen Mining Inc.
In 2009, TNR founded International Lithium Corp. ("ILC"), a green energy metals company that was made public through the spin-out of TNR's energy metals portfolio in 2011. ILC holds interests in lithium projects in Argentina, Ireland and Canada.
TNR retains a 1.8% NSR Royalty on the Mariana Lithium Project in Argentina. ILC has a right to repurchase 1.0% of the NSR Royalty on the Mariana Lithium Project, of which 0.9% relates to the Company's NSR Royalty interest. The Company would receive $900,000 on the completion of the repurchase. The project is currently being advanced in a joint venture between ILC and Ganfeng Lithium International Co. Ltd.
TNR provides significant exposure to gold through its 90% holding in the Shotgun Gold porphyry project in Alaska. The project is located in Southwestern Alaska near the Donlin Gold project, which is being developed by Barrick Gold and Novagold Resources Inc.
The Company's strategy with Shotgun Gold Project is to attract a joint venture partnership with one of the gold major mining companies. The Company is actively introducing the project to interested parties.
At its core, TNR provides significant exposure to gold, copper, silver and lithium through its holdings in Alaska (the Shotgun Gold porphyry project) and Argentina (the Los Azules Copper and the Mariana Lithium projects) and is committed to the continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 7, 2021) – Great Atlantic Resources (TSXV: GR) (FSE: PH02) has started its 2021 diamond drill program at its Golden Promise Gold property in Central Newfoundland. The 100% owned Golden Promise Property is one of the company's eight properties, which cover an area of 25,700 hectares, located within the central Newfoundland gold belt.

http://www.investmentpitch.com/video/1_1ldrogan/Great-Atlantic-starts-its-2021-diamond-drill-program-at-Golden-Promise-Gold-property-in-Central-Newfoundland
This is a resumption of Phase 2 diamond drilling at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone, located within the northern region of the Golden Promise Property, which hosts five gold bearing quartz veins systems, being the Jaclyn Main, Jaclyn North, Jaclyn South, Jaclyn East and Jaclyn West Zones. The current Phase 2 drilling will include up to 33 drill holes, totalling approximately 5,000 metres, at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone with holes planned at the Jaclyn Main Zone and Jaclyn North Zone.
Drilling is currently underway, with drill hole GP21-149 being an in-fill hole in the west region of the Jaclyn Main Zone. The objective of this hole and subsequent holes is to further define the zone and provide information for an updated resource estimate. Most of these holes are planned within the central to west region of the zone, testing above 200 metres vertical depth, with two holes planned in the east part of the Jaclyn Main Zone to test the zone at 200 to 350 metres vertical depth.
Great Atlantic confirmed high-grade gold at the Jaclyn Main Zone during 2019 drilling, including near surface intercepts of 113.07 grams per tonne gold over 0.55 metres and 61.35 grams per tonne gold over 2.04 metres, and 15.8 grams per tonne gold over 2.70 metres, plus an interval of multiple gold bearing veins in one drill hole averaging 2.30 grams per tonne gold over 25.25 metres. The planned drilling at the Jaclyn North Zone will further test the area east of historic drill holes including the area of an approximate 300-metre long zone of gold-bearing quartz vein boulders. Three drill holes completed by the company during 2020 in this area intersected gold bearing quartz veins and extended the Jaclyn North quartz vein system approximately 260 metres east of historic drilling.
The company collected gold bearing quartz boulder samples in this area during 2017, including samples returning 163, 208 and 332 grams per tonne and again in 2020 including samples returning 17.4, 26.7 and 157.6 grams per tonne gold. The company reported a NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate during late 2018 for the Jaclyn Main Zone of 357,500 tonnes at 10.4 grams per tonne gold for 119,000 ounces uncapped. Because part of the vein is near surface, the resource estimate was constrained by a conceptual open pit to demonstrate reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction. Generic mining costs of US$2.50 per tonne and processing costs of US$25.00 per tonne were used together with a gold price of US$1,300 per ounce. All resources were classified as inferred because of the relatively wide spacing of drill holes through most of the zone.
The Golden Promise Property is located within a region of recent significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup, a volcano-sedimentary terrane.

MONTREAL, July 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. (“Vanstar”, or the “Company”) (TSX.V – VSR) is pleased to confirm that drilling began on June 30th on the Nelligan joint venture project (IAMGOLD 75%, Vanstar 25%), located 60 km southwest of Chibougamau, Quebec. The Company’s joint venture partner IAMGOLD Corporation (“IAMGOLD” TSX-IMG) is expected to drill approximately 9,500 m and will include both definition drilling in the main resource area as well as step-out drilling with a focus on the west extension of the known mineralization. This drilling will support the completion of a future updated resource estimate.

https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/82f3b473-cf37-4caa-93c7-037758df3014
JC St-Amour, President and CEO of Vanstar Mining commented, “We are excited to see the drilling program underway on Nelligan as exploration continues on the project. Nelligan is a growing asset with inferred resources of 3.2 million ounces of gold as of 2019. The results of this drill program will be included in an upcoming resource update that we anticipate will both expand and upgrade the existing resources. In addition, we are pleased to see that exploration is continuing on the broader property to identify additional targets for future drilling.”
Beyond the drilling area, mapping of underexplored areas is ongoing focusing on an area identified from IP and preliminary till survey results. Fifteen new outcrops have been identified to date. Elsewhere the review of the 2020 and 2021 till sampling results received is ongoing. Two other gold in-till anomalies outside the Nelligan Resources area are developing, with assay results from heavy mineral concentrates and fine fractions of the till samples still pending.
The mapping program also includes mapping of areas stripped in October 2020 on the joint venture property. Channel samples have been collected from the 3 unsampled areas including one located to the north of the resource area. The northern stripping area has been completed in May with mapping and channel sampling. The stripping exposed a moderately to strongly sheared sediment, hosting up to 30% of transposed smoky veinlets and pyrite in trace but locally up to 5%. Twenty-two channel samples have been collected. Results are pending. Exploration targeting will be completed once all results will become available and interpreted.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 6, 2021 / Great Atlantic Resource Corp. (TSXV:GR)(FRA:PH01) (the "Company" or "Great Atlantic") is pleased to announce it commenced diamond drilling at its Golden Promise Gold Property, located in the central Newfoundland gold belt.
This is a resumption of Phase 2 diamond drilling at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone, specifically at the Jaclyn Main Zone and Jaclyn North Zone. The first drill hole of the 2021 program in being drilled at the Jaclyn Main Zone.
The current Phase 2 drilling will include up to 33 drill holes at the gold bearing Jaclyn Zone with holes planned at the Jaclyn Main Zone (JMZ) and Jaclyn North Zone (JNZ) with total planned drilling of approximately 5,000 meters. Drilling is currently underway on dill hole GP21-149, an in-fill hole in the west region of the JMZ. The objective of this hole and subsequent planned drill holes at the JMZ is to further define the zone and provide information for an updated resource estimate of the JMZ. The Company is continuing the drill hole numbering system from previous drilling programs. Most of the planned holes at the JMZ are within the central to west region of the zone, testing above 200 meters vertical depth. Two holes are planned in the east part of the JMZ to test the zone at 200-350 meters vertical depth.
Great Atlantic reported a National Instrument 43-101 compliant inferred resource estimate during late 2018 for the JMZ of 357,500 tonnes at 10.4 g/t gold (119,900 ounces of gold – uncapped).
The Company confirmed high-grade gold at the JMZ during 2019 drilling, including near surface intercepts (core length) of 113.07 grams / tonne (g/t) gold over 0.55 meters, 61.35 g/t gold over 2.04 meters and 15.8 g/t gold over 2.70 meters plus an interval of multiple gold bearing veins in one drill hole averaging 2.30 g/t gold over 25.25 meters.
The Phase 2 drilling at the JNZ will further test the area east of historic drill holes including the area of an approximately 300 meters long zone of gold-bearing quartz vein boulders. Three drill holes completed by the Company during late 2020 Phase 2 drilling intersected gold bearing quartz veins and extended the JNZ quartz vein system approximately 260 meters east of historic drilling. The Company collected gold bearing quartz boulder samples in this area during 2017 (including samples returning 163, 208 and 332 grams / tonne (g/t) gold) and 2020 (including samples returning 17.4, 26.7 and 157.6 g/t gold).
The Golden Promise Property is located within a region of recent significant gold discoveries. The property is located within the Exploits Subzone of the Newfoundland Dunnage Zone. Within the Exploits Subzone, the property lies along the north-northwestern fringe of the Victoria Lake Supergroup (VLSG), a volcano-sedimentary terrane. The northwestern margin of the Golden Promise Property occurs proximal to, and, in part, contiguous with a major (Appalachian-scale) collisional boundary, and suture zone, known as the RIL. The RIL forms the western boundary of the Exploits Subzone. Recent significant gold discoveries within the Exploits Subzone include those of Marathon Gold Corp. (TSX.MOZ) at the Valentine Gold Project, Sokoman Minerals Corp. (TSXV.SIC) at the Moosehead Gold Project and New Found Gold Corp. (TSXV.NFG) at the Queensway Project. Readers are warned that mineralization at the Valentine Gold Project, Moosehead Gold Project, and Queensway Project is not necessarily indicative of mineralization the Golden Promise Property.

July 6 (Reuters) – Australia's Jervois Mining Ltd said on Tuesday its board had approved the final construction and development of its cobalt operations in the U.S. state of Idaho, with first production expected in mid-2022.
Cobalt is all the rage of late due to its use as a key ingredient in electric vehicles (EVs) and demand for the metal has seen a sharp uptick with rising EV sales and use in batteries.
The approval follows a $100 million bond issue by Jervois on Monday to fund the Idaho project and bring it to production.
Final construction of the project, which the company acquired in 2019, is scheduled to deliver its first ore to an operational mill in July 2022.
The company said it continues to engage with the U.S. government over the "geopolitical and economic importance" of the Idaho facility and further funding support. (Reporting by Savyata Mishra in Bengaluru; Editing by Subhranshu Sahu)
