Scorpio Gold releases further drill results from Bluelite

Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSX-V: SGN} Continued their series of news releases from their Mineral Ridge property in Nevada.

This time the drill results are from the Bluelite Satellite.

Vancouver, July 20, 2015 – Scorpio Gold Corporation (TSX-V: SGN} reports additional results from the 2015 expansion drilling program at the Bluelite satellite deposit target area at its 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

The 2015 expansion program at Bluelite includes infill, development and exploration drilling to expand and upgrade the current mineral reserve and resource base for the deposit and potentially extend life of mine.

All of the holes presented in Table 1 are step-out exploration holes drilled southeast of currently defined resources for the Bluelite deposit. Drilling continues to delineate mineralization that has now been outlined over a 300 meter wide band of semi-continuous mineralization extending southeast of the Bluelite deposit along the NW Brodie trend toward the Brodie deposit. Management believes that results received to date from the 2015 drilling program will potentially allow for defining a new resource in this area.

Pre-production development work at the Bluelite deposit is in progress with open pit production scheduled in Q3 2015.

Highlights from this latest phase of exploration drilling at the Bluelite deposit include:

MR151450: 2.03 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 6.10 meters
MR151511: 1.47 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
MR151512: 1.20 g/t gold over 13.72 meters
MR151517: 2.42 g/t gold over 15.24 meters
MR151518: 3.91 g/t gold over 6.10 meters
MR151520: 4.96 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
MR151535: 4.18 g/t gold over 9.14 meters
MR151538: 7.82 g/t gold over 3.05 meters

Kootenay Silver commence maiden resource estimate at La Negra

Kootenay Silver {TSX.V: KTN} have announced that their maiden 43-101 resource estimate is underway at La Negra, Sonora, Mexico.

In addition, Kootenay have announced a $1.5 million private placement at 30 c per unit.

Kootenay Silver Inc. {TSX.V: KTN} is pleased to announce it has initiated the maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate including a metallurgical study at the La Negra silver discovery located in Sonora, Mexico.

In addition to the resource estimate and metallurgical work, the company announces a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) of up to 5 million units (each “Unit”) at a purchase price of $0.30 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to Kootenay of up to $1,500,000.

States Kootenay President and CEO James McDonald, “We look forward to completing the maiden resource estimate and preliminary metallurgical testing on La Negra. Kootenay has engaged the services of Hans Smit, P.Geo to conduct the maiden NI 43-101 resource estimate on La Negra. Mr. Smit specializes in guiding advanced exploration projects through resource estimations, economic evaluations and permitting.

Following this work, we have designed a 5,000 meter drill program with the objective of doubling the current mineralised envelope and testing the newly discovered Cameron zone and the Cameron-Vania trend.”

Expansion Program

Kootenay reported in its June 15, 2015 news release the discovery of the new Cameron zone and the Cameron-Vania trend that underscores the potential of this mineralized corridor to become a mining district capable of producing multiple new precious metals discoveries well into the future. The recognition of underlying geologic controls that link the La Negra and Promontorio mineralization with the Cameron-Vania trend serves as a strong complement to our emerging La Negra silver discovery and elevates our confidence for the discovery of additional, similar style, large-scale deposits on Promontorio.

Private Placement

Each Unit will consist of one common share (“Common Share”) of Kootenay and one transferable share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.55 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. Cash finder’s fees may be paid in connection with the Private Placement.

All of the securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a minimum four-month hold period. The Private Placement and payment of any finder’s fee are subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange. The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to finance additional work on Kootenay’s Promontorio property, which includes the new La Negra Breccia discovery, its other properties and for general working capital.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. federal and state registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements. This release does not constitute an offer for sale of securities in the United States.

La Negra Silver Discovery

The La Negra Breccia prospect is situated approx. 6.5 kms north of Kootenay’s Promontorio Silver Resource in Sonora, Mexico and is contained within a 25 x 15 km mineralized corridor, the ‘Promontorio Mineral Belt.’ Initial exploration on La Negra included a successful trenching and surface sampling program that confirmed extensive silver mineralization over a large 100 to 200 meters by 500 meters area on surface. (See news releases from May 28th and June 5th, 2014 for more details).

A follow up Phase I drill program on La Negra returned significant and consistent intervals of high grade, widespread silver mineralisation extending from surface to depth, confirming a substantial new silver discovery.

Results from a recent Phase II drilling program on La Negra have further confirmed the continuity of silver grades and the consistency of silver mineralization to depth within the core of the diatreme breccia. (See news releases from March 31st, April 30th and May 20th, 2015 for more details).

This has set the stage for the advanced future development of La Negra and reinforces its future potential as a low-cost, open pittable silver resource. At present, drill results from the program are being compiled and collated in a 3D model showing the geologic controls and assay results. This compilation will be used to design the next drill phase, which is expected to be announced in the near future.

Scorpio Gold H1 production up 7%,maintains production forecast for 2015

Scorpio Gold {TSX.V: SGN} exceeded 2015 production expectations by reporting a 7% increase on last year’s H1 production at Mineral Ridge, Nevada.

Scorpio maintain production guidance for 2015.

Comment

A tidy first half of 2015, and Scorpio, always a conservative company, increased production by 7% compared to the same period last year.

They maintain their guidance for 2015, which is positive enough. and one wonders whether they haven’t got half an eye on exceeding that forecast, but prefer not to say just yet?

New production from various pits is due online, and they have the option of shipping the high grade ore to their mill at Gold Wedge for grinding prior to placing on the heap leach pad, a process that increases recovery by a healthy margin.

News release.

Vancouver, July 14, 2015 – Scorpio Gold Corporation {TSX.V: SGN} announces its operating results for the second quarter (“Q2”) of 2015 at its 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

Production at Mineral Ridge in Q2 of 2015 totalled 8,738 ounces of gold and 3,591 ounces of silver. Total gold production for the first half of 2015 now stands at 20,690 ounces, an increase of 7% from H1 of 2014.

The Company’s 2015 production forecast remains unchanged at 40,000 to 45,000 ounces of gold (as reported in the Company’s March 11, 2015 news release).

Peter J. Hawley, President & CEO, comments, “We are pleased to report another solid quarter of production at Mineral Ridge. While continuing to cycle through lower-grade material in the Mary pit, our gold production continues to be aided by the drawdown of ounces from the leach pad inventory and by ongoing efforts to re-slope the periphery of the leach pad to bring previously un-leached material under leach. We confirm our guidance of 40,000 to 45,000 ounces gold production at Mineral Ridge in 2015.”

Production in 2015 is scheduled from the Mary and Mary LC pits, and from the Wedge, Bluelite, Solberry and Brodie satellite pits. Open pit mining at the Solberry deposit commenced in Q2 2015. Pre-production development work at the Bluelite deposit is in progress with open pit production scheduled to commence in Q3 2015. The Bluelite and Solberry deposits have not been subject to any prior mining campaigns, hence their high-grade core zones are preserved and expected to positively impact the grade of ore being processed at both the Mineral Ridge operation and the Goldwedge mill facility, to which higher-grade ore from Mineral Ridge is shipped on an as-needed basis.

Actual results relating to, among other things, results of exploration, metallurgical processing, project development, reclamation and capital costs of Zenyatta’s mineral properties, and Zenyatta’s financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as, but are not limited to: failure to identify mineral resources; failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves; the inability to complete a prefeasibility study; the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results; the inability to enter into offtake agreements with qualified purchasers; delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals; political risks; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates; fluctuations in commodity prices; delays in the development of projects; capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry; and those risks set out in Zenyatta’s public documents filed on SEDAR. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of Zenyatta’s forward-looking statements.

These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on Zenyatta’s forward-looking statements. Although Zenyatta believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all.

Scorpio Gold reports promising initial drill results from Bluelite North

Scorpio Gold Corp. {TSX-V: SGN} has just reported positive initial drill results form their Bluelite North Project, just north of their Bluelite Project at Mineral Ridge, Nevada.

Some decent grades were recorded at shallow depths, a good start in an area that management consider promising.

Comment

Once again Scorpio produce some good drill result out of the hat,and nice to see them from initial results in a new area, where management have high hopes of expanding their resources at Mineral Ridge.

Scorpio continue to produce good results, and at a rapid rate of newsflow for a junior, plenty to follow here.

News release

Vancouver, July 7, 2015 – Scorpio Gold Corp. {TSX-V: SGN} reports results from its first phase of exploration drilling in the Bluelite North target area at its 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

Neometals completes deal with Metals X

Neometals {ASX: NMT} has completed the previously announced transaction with Metals X {ASX:MLX} from the 25th January 2015.

MD Chris Reed proclaimed this as the next step in Neometals becoming a leading globally recognised lithium producer.

Neometals Ltd {ASX: NMT} Has confirmed that its 70%-owned subsidiary, Reed Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd (RIM), has completed the transaction with Metals X Ltd {ASX: MLX} which was announced to the ASX on 22 January 2015.

Under the agreement, RIM has agreed to lease the lithium mining rights over a portion of the Hampton Area Location 53, which adjoins the Mt Marion Lithium Project, and to purchase an adjoining mining lease and associated infrastructure from Metals X.

Leading mining services provider Mineral Resources Limited {ASX:MIN} owns the remaining 30% of RIM and funds and operates the project through its subsidiary, Process Minerals International Pty Ltd.

Completion of the transaction will allow RIM to explore and develop extensions of the No 2 and No 2 West Lithium Deposits, located on the northern boundary of the Mt Marion Project Previous drilling at the No 2 and No 2 West deposits indicates that lithium mineralisation continues into the newly leased tenements, providing RIM an opportunity to expand the current JORC resource with further exploration.

A new resource exploration potential estimate is being prepared as part of an extensive resource expansion and infill drilling program under development. In addition, the purchase of the adjoining leases and associated infrastructure will provide potential tailings storage, optimal waste dump positioning and access to an existing heavy haul road which will benefit the future development of Mt Marion.

Chris Reed, Managing Director, commented: “We are pleased to have completed another step towards transforming RIM into a globally significant lithium concentrate producer and supplier to the lithium-ion battery industry. The next step in the project’s development plan is to finalise binding offtake agreements which are well progressed, before we commit to a final investment decision.”

Comment

If ever an announcement was an endorsement of the potential of a mining company and project, this one is!

Storedot to be able to charge a car in five minutes “within a “year”

Israel based technology company Storedot has announced a new disruptive technology, by predicting they will be able to recharge a battery operated car for a 300 mile journey in just five minutes “within a year”.

Elon Musk’s Tesla Motors must be casting an eye over their shoulders at this disruptive technology.Storedot, a private technology company based in Israel and backed by Chelsea Chairman Roman Abramovich, have followed on from their demonstration of recharging a smart phone in 26 seconds by predicting they will be able to recharge a car in five minutes within a year.

This disruptive technology must concern Tesla motors, as there are obvious huge advantages to being able to charge a car this quickly, little more than a stop at the petrol station!

StoreDot’s unit employs safe, stable organic compounds packed into thousands of individual cells. A multi function electrode uses a conductive polymer and metal oxide to trickle charge the cells, which are designed to produce very little heat. Because of this, the Flash Battery’s electrodes don’t degrade as quickly over time, resulting in an extended lifespan.

If Storedot can deliver on this promise, it must cause concern for lithium and graphite producers as Storedot; solution uses organic compounds, rather than the usual metals. and the battery can withstand three times the number of recharge cycles than conventional lithium ion batteries.

Barkerville accounts suggest ex CEO Callaghan appears to be under investigation

Barkerville Gold Mines {TSX.V: BGM} recently published accounts (June 25th) have caused a bit of a stir.

A note on page 41 of the accounts suggests ex CEO Frank Callaghan is under investigation!

Normally a set of accounts are a dull affair,with many people not reading past the first few headline figures, they are just too dry.

The recently released accounts of Barkerville Gold have caused a bit of a stir, because clearly at least one person persevered reading until the bitter end, and was still awake and eagle eyed to spot a curious statement on page 41/50.

“During the year ended February 28, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the former CEO where the Company will pay $20,000 per month plus benefits for two years starting August 2014 and grant 401,161 options in the next grant. In addition, the Company will reimburse the former CEO all the ongoing legal fees related to BCSC claims against the former CEO”.

The Vancouver based investigative reporter Mike Caswell informed the investing world via an article on Stockwatch.

There is no ambiguity there, it clearly states “related to BCSC claims against the former CEO”

If this is true, it does beg the question why Barkerville are reimbursing Frank’s legal fees when, presumably, he is defending claims against HIS OWN actions, whilst CEO?

Given the size of the severance, 24 x $20,000 per month PLUS benefits! It is perhaps a little surprising that on top of that they are also paying his legal fees!

The likely claims probably relate to when BGM announced via an official news release that they had an “a district potential of 100 million ounces of gold”, causing the share price to rise from around 40c to $1.60 at one point, before falling backwards to $1.20, and then being suspended.

Eventually a further report was issued which gave around 1.2 million ounces, and pretty much wrote off the “district potential” until further drilling had taken place.

Frank Callaghan visited London many times, is a larger than life colourful figure who was well liked, and many people, including myself, were shareholders, and enjoyed his flamboyant presentations over lunch.

Given that the “district potential ” announcement caused many people to buy, (it was an official news release after all) and then subsequently lose money as the stock plummeted post suspension, it rankles with me that shareholders are now paying for legal fees related to this.

One has to be careful, nothing has been officially announced, but the accounts make a clear statement “related to BCSC claims against the former CEO”.

Whether there is any action ongoing, or whether they are just “claims” which may go no further we cannot speculate without further information.

Still, probably the most interesting note I have ever read in a set of accounts!

let’s hope it’s not too expensive for current BGM shareholders…..

Scorpio Gold{TSX.V: SGN} has reported drill results from their Mary LC deposit at their Mineral Ridge Nevada mine.

Commercial production status is expected later this year.

Vancouver, June 29, 2015 – Scorpio Gold Corp. {TSX-V: SGN} reports results from its 2015 expansion and exploration drilling program on the Mary LC deposit at its 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada.

Drilling in 2015 at the Mary LC deposit has included both infill drilling (five holes; MR151437-439, 469-470) within the known deposit and step-out exploration drilling. Four holes (MR151431-34) tested the southwest extension of the deposit. The remaining 19 holes tested an area extending up to 250 meters northeast of the Mary LC pit outline. In this northeastern direction, significant mineralisation has been intersected at vertical depths ranging from 50 to 150 meters, with depth to mineralisation generally increasing to the northeast. Follow-up drilling is under consideration to further investigate this area as a potential open pit and/or underground mining target.

Development of the Mary LC pit commenced in Q1 2014 and approximately 163,000 tonnes of ore have been mined at the Mary LC pit from Q2 2014 through Q2 2015. Attaining commercial production status at Mary LC is expected in Q4 2015.

Highlights of exploration drilling to the northeast of the Mary LC pit outline include:

MR151423: 2.48 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 4.57 meters
MR151436: 9.22 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
MR151440: 3.08 g/t gold over 7.62 meters
MR151464: 8.20 g/t gold over 6.10 meters

All holes were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling. True width is estimated at 90-100% of down hole width. Analytical results were performed by American Assay Laboratory Inc. in Sparks, Nevada, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility. External check assays to verify lab accuracy are routinely completed by ALS Chemex, an ISO 9001:2000 certified and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility. Further details are presented in the Company’s quality assurance and quality control program for the Mineral Ridge project available at: MR QAQC.

Integra Gold launches $1 m crowd sourcing gold rush challenge

Integra Gold Corp.{TSX.V: ICG} has come out with a novel and perhaps bizarre way of deciding where to explore next,by allowing the general public access to the Data Room.

This is a form of crowd sourcing.

Integra Gold Corp. Launches $1,000,000 Crowd-Sourcing Gold Rush Challenge with the Objective of Finding Val-d’Or’s Next Big Gold Discovery

VANCOUVER, BC: Integra Gold Corp. {TSX-V: ICG,} is giving the term “data mining” a whole new meaning with the launch of its Integra Gold Rush Challenge, a form of crowd sourcing it hopes will lead it to the next big gold discovery at its Sigma-Lamaque gold property in Val-d’Or, Québec.

The Data

In October 2014, Integra completed the acquisition of the Sigma/Lamaque Mine and Mill complex immediately adjacent to its Lamaque South project and in doing so became the owner of 6 terabytes of historical mining and exploration data in a digital format. The Company has spent the last 6 months compiling this information which, once completed, will be released to the public in one consolidated database. The data dates back to 1933 and includes over 30,000 historic drill holes, more than 50,000 gold assays, hundreds of kilometres of mined underground workings, other mining statistics and photos. Integra is in the process of verifying and digitizing additional information, which it expects to release to contestants in September via a special website. Integra says that to its knowledge, no mining company has released such a large amount of proprietary information to the public before.

As highlighted in a recent press release the Company believes there is a wealth of potential gold exploration targets that are expected to be generated as a result of this unprecedented digital database that spans more than 75 years of history (see Company press release June 18, 2015).

The Gold Rush Challenge

Online prospectors will analyze and interpret the data to come up with a plan on where they think Integra has the best chance of making a major gold discovery. Further details on what specific types of submissions the Company is looking for will be announced in the coming months, prior to the database being made public in September.

The prize of CAD $1,000,000, which will be broken out into a number of categories, will be awarded to whomever comes up with what the Company and the competitions board of advisors believe is the highest probability location for a major gold discovery. Integra has already made significant headway in raising the award money through sponsorships and plans to announce the winners next March in Toronto at the PDAC mining conference.

“By giving the public access to this data, Integra hopes to tap into the collective brainpower of thousands of participants and save itself years of time and resources to identify high-potential exploration targets we likely wouldn’t even know exist,” says CEO Stephen de Jong. “By utilizing external sources this competition allows us to stay focused and disciplined on the work we are doing at our Triangle Zone and Lamaque South property, and at the same time move forward with an exciting exploration target.”

Integra chairman George Salamis adds, “With this digital gold rush, we hope to tap into the most leading edge and innovative ideas from all sectors of research, not just the mining business. Our expectation is that these new ideas will lead to continued value creation from last year’s acquisition of the Sigma-Lamaque Mill and Mining Complex. This competition, which we expect to reveal numerous exploration plans on areas where participants think we should look to make our next gold discovery, will prove to be beneficial for investors, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders. The Integra Gold Rush is also expected to draw unprecedented attention to Québec and the Abitibi Region as one of the world’s premier gold mining jurisdictions.”

Partnership with HeroX

Integra Gold is launching the Gold Rush Challenge in partnership with HeroX, a crowdsourcing platform for incentive prizes to discover complex, innovative solutions to the challenges facing companies, governments, nonprofits, and individuals. HeroX is a spin-off of XPRIZE, the leading organization solving the world’s Grand Challenges by creating and managing large-scale, high profile, incentivized prize competitions.

Integra hopes to attract the expertise of those in academia, geology, the mining sector and many other disciplines to interpret the data.

“The Gold Rush Challenge follows in the incredibly successful footsteps of the Goldcorp Challenge and the Ansari XPRIZE competition,” says XPRIZE CEO and HeroX Co-founder, Peter H. Diamandis. “We live in a world of incredible cognitive surplus and your ability to tap into brilliance is now unparalleled. By utilizing the HeroX platform, Integra Gold is paving the way for significant innovation in the mining industry by encouraging collaboration and openness.”

HeroX says that based on past experience with crowdsourcing projects, it expects hundreds of people or groups from multiple countries to participate in the Integra Gold Rush Challenge.

“The Gold Rush Challenge is a visionary approach to big data analysis that harnesses the power of the incentive prize model to foster collaboration and reward ingenuity,” says HeroX CEO, Christian Cotichini. “HeroX is delighted to partner with Integra Gold to build awareness for this important competition, which is sure to bring unprecedented levels of innovation to the mining sector.”

Endorsements from Mayor of Val-d’Or and MNA for the Electoral Riding of Abitibi-East

Mayor of Val-d’Or, Mr. Pierre Corbeil, says this original initiative represents an exceptional showcase event for the city of Val-d’Or. “The discovery of these gold mines marked the debut of Val-d’Or, founded 80 years ago. The Integra Gold Rush reaffirms our region’s mineral potential and will certainly have significant benefits for our region. I salute Integra Gold’s boldness in this initiative and wish all the digital prospectors good luck.”

“I find this a unique and original initiative to re-ignite interest in previously dormant gold mines. This is confirmation that Québec is more present and stronger than ever in maintaining its position as a leading mining jurisdiction. I view a number of interesting economic opportunities for the region,” says the MNA for Abitibi-East, Québec, Guy Bourgeois.

History of the Sigma and Lamaque Mines

The Lamaque and Sigma Mines are located 500 metres from one another and are hence being treated by the Company’s exploration and geological team as one system. These mines each produced more than 4.5 million ounces of gold each, however, the Sigma Mine was more than 700 metres deeper than Lamaque. The Lamaque Mine ceased operations in 1985 due to falling commodity prices, labor unrest, and development limitations due to insufficient infrastructure, not, as Integra believes, as a result of the mineralized system being exhausted at its lowest levels. The Lamaque Mine was the largest gold producer in Québec for 30 years, from 1955 until it shut down in 1985.

This historic data compiled by the Company provides compelling evidence for a down-dip extension of the gold-bearing system of the Lamaque Mine Main Plug continues at depth. The Company believes detailed targeting work on Lamaque Deep as well as other targets in the vicinity will much more efficiently realized by utilizing the power of a crowd sourcing competition.

Project and Company Profile

Integra’s Lamaque South Gold Project and Sigma-Lamaque Mill and Mine Complex are located directly east of the City of Val-d’Or along the prolific Abitibi Greenstone belt in the Province of Québec, Canada, approximately 550 km northwest of Montréal. Québec is rated one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world. Infrastructure, human resources and mining expertise are readily available in the region.

The Company’s primary focus is on exploring and subsequently developing, subject to further underground exploration, its high-grade Lamaque South gold project. The Lamaque South property is divided into three clusters, the North, South and West cluster. The primary targets are the high-grade Parallel Zone in the North Cluster and the Triangle Zone in the South Cluster. The recently acquired Sigma Mill, located 1 kilometer from the Parallel Zone and 3 kilometres from the Triangle Zone, is a fully-permitted, 2,200 ton per day mill and tailings facility. The Sigma-Lamaque Mill and Mine Complex include the historic Sigma and Lamaque Mines which operated for 75 and 52 years respectively and produced more than 9 million ounces of gold in total.
