Renforth Resources Inc. (CSE:RFR)(OTC PINK:RFHRF)(WKN:A2H9TN) (“Renforth” or the “Company”) has completed our June field work successfully and is particularly impressed with the results of our initial prospecting work at Malartic West, results will be released as available.

• Malartic West – visual confirmation of the presence of mineralization, noted historically, was obtained. This included sphalerite and minor chalcopyrite set within multiple felsic units, interlayered with narrow bands of graphitic shale. Also encountered were multiple bands of ultramafic rocks, including serpentinite and pyroxenites, these were historically investigated for their nickel content. Renforth’s investigation, and assay protocols, extends to testing for gold, nickel, copper, zinc and PGEs. With the exception of PGEs each of these metals was historically documented in various programs and locations within the system. The relationship between the felsic and ultramafic mineralization has not yet been determined.
  The southern claims, the focus of the work, hosted 3 areas of historic mineralization, in two bands approximately 4 kms apart (north-south) with a strike length of approximately 19 kms (east-west) between them, previously referred to as Lalonde, Victoria and Colonie. Renforth is the first company to consolidate all of these historic mineralized areas and approach them as a system. Renforth will, going forward, refer to this system as the Surimeau Project, separating the claims out of the Malartic West block.
• Parbec – obtained with prospecting was an extension of the Diorite Splay veining on surface, with additional veining uncovered and sampled, assay results pending. The structural interpretation of the mineralization in the sediments is continuing, sampling ended due to overburden beyond hand tool abilities in one direction and with the vein entering a fault in the other.
• Beep Mat – data was successfully acquired at both New Alger, in the area of the Discovery Veins, and at Parbec, in the area of the Diorite Splay. Some initial prospecting was carried out with this data, interpretation of the data is pending.

Renforth has completed a private placement with the issuance of 100,000 common share units, each unit priced at $0.05 and consisting of one common share and one warrant to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.07 for a period of 24 months, and 4,236,372 flow through share units, each unit priced at $0.055 and consisting of one share issued on a “flow-through” basis and one warrant to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.075 for a period of 24 months, for a total raised in this closing of $238,000. A commission totaling $14,000 in cash and a total of 254,545 broker warrants was paid pursuant to this closing. The use of these funds is a drilling program on the Discovery Vein gold mineralization at New Alger. Currently the resource geologist and the exploration geologist team are working together to develop a program which will include infill drilling within the stripped area and step out drilling to the west, within the surface sampled but undrilled strike of the Discovery Vein system. Drilling is expected to commence in late July, once scheduled blasting of certain areas of the Discovery Veins surface mineralization is complete.

We always enjoy Chris “Equity Guru” Perry’s writing on junior resource companies. Chris is a skeptic with a long track record in the junior space. He turned his attention to Tocvan Ventures which is exploring a gold/silver property in Mexico.

“Tocvan Resources (TOC.C) announced substantial results Wednesday on the data from their property scale soil sampling survey at the Mexico-based Pilar gold-silver project, with returns of 8 g/t gold and 317 g/t silver among the highlights.

The tiny gold explorer is in the early stages of proving out its property but, in doing so, also announced it has discovered a new gold and silver mineralization on its eastern zone, causing excitement among insiders.

With only 17 million shares outstanding, and with a market cap barely over a million dollars, any positive news will likely bring the potential of high market upside, so sampling results that open the play up are definitely worth cheering about.” Chris Perry, Stockhouse

You can read the whole, very informative, article here.

I am looking forward to interviewing Tocvan’s President, Derek Wood, in the next few days.

Tocvan Ventures Corp. (CSE:TOC) (CNSX:TOC.CN) (“Tocvan” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce results from the soil sampling survey at the Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.

The highest assay results have been returned for gold and silver on the Pilar property in separate soil assays; 8 g/t Au & 317 g/t Ag. Also, a new zone of gold and silver mineralization containing areas of high grade gold and high grade silver has been revealed and is termed the “East Zone”, see figure 1.

Soil samples were systematically collected across the property as one of several survey tools to define mineralization trends associated with geological structures. To further help define mineralization trends previous results were also included and are shown below. Combined, these results have highlighted gold-silver areas and gold-silver trends across the Pilar property from north to south to narrow the focus for drilling.

Historically, the focus for development on the Pilar property has been in the north-west part of the property in the Main Zone and North Hill Zone. These zones along with the 4-Trench Zone have received over 17,700m of drilling. The Pilar property is a low-sulphide epithermal system, structure is key in mineralization deposition. In order to know where the mineralization is located, the structures need to be known and understood. In the efforts to define the structures controlling mineralization in the Main, North Hill, and 4-Trench zones, discoveries have been made elsewhere on the property, and those discoveries collectively have revealed a new zone of gold-silver mineralization, the East Zone (Figure 1).

Figure 1 characterizes the gold-silver assay results from the soil survey conducted this past March into April across the Pilar property. Also shown on figure 1 are gold-silver assay results from rock-grabs collected on the property this past November and previously reported January 7, 2020, they are included and shown here to provide a holistic view. Those rock-grabs were collected in response to testing high grade gold-silver soil assay results reported by Colibri Resource Corp. in 2018 and therefore show the effectiveness of assaying soil samples.

Taken collectively, the gold-silver assay results have revealed trends and zones of mineralization as depicted in figure 1 and the following figures. In figure 1 the gold-assay soil return is represented by 

and the silver-assay-soil return is represented by

. Gold and silver assay results collected as rock-grabs this past November and reported January 7, 2020 are represented by

.

The new East Zone (Figure 1) is represented by high grade gold and high grade silver assay results from rock grabs and soil sampling, and is a new trend of mineralization parallel to the NW-SE trend of mineralization of the Main Zone and North Hill Zone (see the bottom of this press release for summary drill results of the Main and North Hill zones). This trend/zone first started to reveal itself after a rock sampling survey conducted this past November. Some significant results include over 5 g/t gold and over 9 g/t gold (Figure 1), but also notably 323 g/t silver, 317 g/t silver, 127 g/t silver, and at the south-east corner of the property 84 and 76 g/t silver (Figure 1). This area roughly covers 600m x 200m and trends in the same direction as the Main Zone (which has been drilled to a depth of ~100m) and with NW-SE trending structures. Historically, previous operators have focused on developing gold on the Pilar property, clearly silver should be included as a part of that focus as well, and will be.

Figures 2 and 3 below are mathematically smoothed soil gold-silver assay data to better reveal trends of mineralization and hence structural trends. The property is known to have cross-cutting NW-SE trending structures and NE-SW trending structures, an excellent combination of structures for mineralized fluid deposition. Directional trends have tentatively been interpreted and are depicted by yellow arrows on both figures. The figures below show trends of mineralization (structure) in under explored areas, and so, provide additional growth opportunities to locate more gold and silver. Mineralization is structurally controlled, knowing the locations, directions and especially the intersections of the structures will help to narrow the focus for locating drill targets.

The soil samples were analyzed by ALS Limited for gold and silver via Au-AA23 package (fire assay and atomic absorption) and Ag-AA45(aqua regia digestion and atomic absorption).

Next Steps for Pilar

Moving forward, scheduled work to be done, and included with these and previous results, are structural analyses with associated survey tools by structural geologists, and XRF survey of samples across the property and of historic drill hole samples held in storage. XRF identifies elements and their amounts which in turn help to identify pathfinder elements. All these surveys and analyses will be taken collectively in order to locate the structures and hence mineralization to provide targets for the drill program; currently anticipated in late summer/early fall of this year.

Special Note:

The current world health situation requires adjustments to work programs, health and safety is considered first.

Current health advice is for families and groups to self-isolate and to use caution with suggested recommendations from health leaders when social-distancing becomes a challenge. Countries are beginning to allow businesses to operate again. Isolation is an inherent part of mineral development programs.

About the Pilar Property

The Pilar Gold-Silver property has been identified as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal project hosted in Andesite and Rhyolite rocks. Hydrothermal fluids carrying gold, silver and other minerals are transported through the pre-existing structures and deposit out of the fluids and become emplaced within the structures and surrounding host rock. Three zones of mineralization have been identified in the north-west part of the property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4 Trench. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Over 17,700m of drilling have been completed to date. Significant results are highlighted below from previous operators:

– 17,700m of Core & RC drilling. Highlights include (all lengths are drilled thicknesses):

– 0.73g/t Au over 40m

• • – 0.75g/t Au over 61m

– 17.3g/t Au over 1.5m

– 5.27g/t Au over 3m

– 53.47g/t Au & 53.4g/t Ag over 16m

– 9.64g/t Au over 13m

– 10.6g/t Au & 37.8g/t Ag over 9m

– 2,650m of surface and trench channel sampling. Highlights include:

– 55g/t Au over 3m

– 28.6g/t Au over 6m

– 3.39 g/t Au over 50m

– Soil sampling results from undrilled areas indicating mineralization extends towards the southeast from the Main Zone, North Hill Zone, and 4-Trench Zone

Additional areas of mineralization have been identified resulting from surface rock-grab-sample assay results that extend known mineralized trends and show a second NW-SE trend of mineralization to the east parallel to the trending zone described above; gold-silver mineralization is indicated across the property from the north to the south, see press release dated January 7, 2020. Significant results from that particular survey are highlighted below:

New Alger Mineral Resource Estimate May 2020

*Please find the combined footnotes and cautions to the New Alger and Parbec Mineral Resource Estimates following the Parbec Mineral Resource Estimate

Parbec Mineral Resource Estimate May 2020

1) Mineral Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.

2) The Inferred Mineral Resource in this estimate has a lower level of confidence than that applied to an Indicated Mineral Resource and must not be converted to a Mineral Reserve. It is reasonably expected that the majority of the Inferred Mineral Resource could be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Resource with continued exploration.

3) The Mineral Resources were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council.

4) Historically mined areas were depleted from the Mineral Resource model.

5.) The pit constrained Au cut-off grade of 0.32 g/t Au was derived from US$1,450/oz Au price, 0.75 US$/C$ exchange rate, 95% process recovery, C$17/t process cost and C$2/t G&A cost. The constraining pit optimization parameters were C$2.50/t mineralized mining cost, $2/t waste mining cost, $1.50/t overburden mining cost and 50 degree pit slopes.

6.) The out of pit Au cut-off grade of 1.44 g/t Au was derived from US$1,450/oz Au price, 0.75 US$/C$ exchange rate, 95% process recovery, C$66/t mining cost, C$17/t process cost and C$2/t G&A cost. The out of pit Mineral Resource grade blocks were quantified above the 1.44 g/t Au cut-off, below the constraining pit shell and within the constraining mineralized wireframes. Additionally, only groups of blocks that exhibited continuity and reasonable potential stope geometry were included. All orphaned blocks and narrow strings of blocks were excluded. The longhole stoping with backfill method was assumed for the out of pit Mineral Resource Estimate calculation.

The filing of these Technical Reports remedies the default noted on September 19, 2019

Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ABN) (OTCQB: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: E2L2) (“Aben” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the planned commencement of its 2020 field program at the Forrest Kerr Gold Project located in the Golden Triangle region of NW British Columbia.  The field team will arrive to the Project in early July to begin the work program.  This program will consist of mapping, prospecting, and soil and rock sampling to better define existing targets and generate new targets for a potential drill program later in the season.

Highlights for 2020 Field Work include:

• Correlate and ground-truth downhole data, surface observations and geophysical signatures in the area between the mineralized corridor at South Boundary and high-grade gold mineralization at North Boundary. Drill intercepts from this area include: 1.2 g/t gold over 122.0m (FK17-05), with the best intercept returning 38.7 g/t gold over 10.0m (FK18-10).

• Geological mapping and prospecting toward the north in the Boundary Valley between the high-grade North Boundary Zone and the Marcasite Gossan, which was last drill-tested prior to 2005.
• Soil sampling and prospecting in the area immediately south of the South Boundary drill locations.

Proposed Exploration and Drill Targets

Forrest Kerr Project:

The Forrest Kerr Property consists of 4 separate claim blocks comprised of 56 mineral claims (23,397 ha) and is owned 100% by Aben Resources. Numerous areas of interest have been identified since Aben began systematic exploration in 2016, with a total of 70 drill holes (21,968m/72,055’) completed. The Boundary Valley hosts significant surface gold mineralization and complex structural intersections, both of which are important indicators of the potential for discovery of more sub-surface high-grade gold mineralization. The initial exploration focus will be between the North and South Boundary zones, in a transitional area where the Benchlands Fault (South) coalesces with the Nelson Creek Fault Zone (North).

Historically, minimal exploration has been conducted in the 3.5km-long Boundary-Marcasite corridor to the north of the North Boundary High-grade Zone despite the presence of high-grade precious metal values on surface. And to the south, very limited surface work has been conducted south of the South Boundary mineralized corridor, although discovery potential is high as this area overlies the regional-scale Forrest Kerr Fault Zone and other associated structures.

Forrest Kerr Tenure Map

Aben Resources would also like to announce that the 2020 Communications Agreement between Aben and the Tahltan Central Government has been signed. Aben looks forward to a continuance of a positive, mutually beneficial working relationship. The Company would also like to state that it has changed the exploration plans for the 2020 season to accommodate concerns about the Coronavirus.  We will be starting the season with a smaller crew to do field work first. When their program is complete and successful, we will follow up after with a drill program, that is contingent on favorable exploration results, thereby keeping the camp population to a minimum.

About Aben Resources:

Aben Resources is a Canadian gold exploration company developing gold-focused projects in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. Aben is a well-funded junior exploration company with over $1.0 million in the Company’s treasury.

Millennial Lithium Corp. (TSXV: ML) (FSE: A3N2) (OTCQX: MLNLF) (“Millennial” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that its wholly owned subsidiary, Proyecto Pastos Grandes S.A. (“PPGSA”), has received a Declaracion de Impacto Ambiental (the “DIA”) from the Environmental and Mining Authority in Salta Province, Argentina. The DIA represents the Environmental and Mining Authority’s approval of PPGSA’s Environmental Impact Assessment (the “EIA”) for Construction and Operation of a 24,000 tonne per year battery grade lithium carbonate production facility at its flagship Pastos Grandes lithium carbonate project. The DIA is the main environmental approval document required for mining projects in Salta Province to both proceed to the construction stage and to operate. The Pastos Grandes Project is currently the only active pre-construction phase project in the region with this key milestone permit.

Farhad Abasov, President and CEO commented “Millennial is pleased to have received the approval for the EIA for construction and operation for our flagship Pastos Grandes Project in Salta, Argentina. This approval is an important step in securing full support from the provincial and federal governments in our path forward to bring the Pastos Grandes Project into production. The rapid approval by the Salta government reflects both the detailed and comprehensive nature of the EIA and the commitment of the government to continue supporting viable mining projects. We are pleased to have secured this approval which makes Pastos Grandes one of the most advanced lithium projects in the world. With a strong cash position we look forward to continuing to develop the Pastos Grandes Project.”

The EIA, presented to the Salta Environmental and Mining Authority in June 2019, was prepared by Ausenco-Vector (Ausenco). Ausenco has extensive experience in the preparation of EIAs for the mining industry in compliance with Argentine Federal and Provincial regulations. All development work on the Company’s Pastos Grandes Project is being completed in accordance with Argentine National Law No. 24.585 (Environmental Protection for Mining Activity). The EIA is based on the potential production scenario of brine extraction via pumping wells, solar pond evaporation and production of up to 25,000 tonnes per year of battery grade lithium carbonate from a centralized processing facility.

The issuance of the DIA approval confirms that the EIA is in compliance with the norms and regulations under the national and provincial mining law, and contains standard requirements to maintain the DIA approval in good standing. Most significantly, there is no adjustment to the 3% Net Smelter Return royalty (known as a “Boca de Mina”) payable to the Province, as defined in the National Mining law and as specified in the fiscal stability certificate for Provincial liabilities which specifies the government royalties that are payable on any future production from the Pastos Grandes Project.

The requirements in the DIA are divided into immediate obligations, required periodic reports, safety and environmental protection measures, operational obligations, community and social obligations and general prohibitions, including typical restrictions against hunting, setting fires and normal environmental and social non-disturbance measures.

This news release has been reviewed by Iain Scarr, AIPG CPG., Chief Operating Officer of the Company and a Qualified Person as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101.

For the longest time, Cartier Resources (V.ECR) has been reporting high-grade gold from its Chimo Mine project. A couple of meters of +10 grams per ton (gpt) here and 16 gpt there. But it has never been the headline number for the Cartier press releases.

“The high grade has always been there,” said Philippe Cloutier, CEO of Cartier. “We reported it, but it was always in the second or third paragraph of the press release.”

The reality is that 75% of the value at the Chimo Mine is in the average grade material running between 4 and 5 grams per ton because there are a lot of tons of that material as disclosed in Cartier’s most recent 43-101 Resource Estimate update. However, in Cartier’s last two press releases, the company reported 4.0 meters of 20.8 gpt and 4.5 meters of 16.5 gpt material from drill holes 450 meters to the east of the existing underground workings. Critically, these high-grade intercepts are well below known gold zones on the property.

“We had the discovery hole back in July of last year,” said Cloutier. “What we decided to do was define a target which was the size of the original mine. We essentially copied the mine-sized target to drill the discovery area.”

“These recent press releases are amongst the first results of our drilling in that target area. For a while, the results were delayed as all the labs were closed because of COVID. They re-opened on May 11. These were the first results we got after the labs re-opened. We’re continuing to drill but the results will be delayed a couple of weeks because of the backlog in the labs,” said Cloutier. “But these first batch grades are quite impressive. And the rest of the samples are looking very good.”

With two drills deployed at Chimo, Cloutier is anticipating news right through the summer.

“The drill target looks very much like the old mine,” said Cloutier. “Right now the drill hole intersections that dot the target could end up adding up to 500,000 ounces. It’s a mine within a mine.”

While the high-grade intercepts are deep, the great strength of the Chimo project is that there is already a 920-meter shaft and an extensive network of drifts. This existing infrastructure changes the economics of mining the Chimo Mine deposit and the extensions of that deposit which Cartier is exploring.

“The current 43-101 does not include any of this new drilling,” said Cloutier. “Nor does it include any of our new engineering work. We are working on the engineering side so that we can lower the cut-off grade by a gram. We’re pretty sure we can and the results of those efforts could add another 500,000 ounces to the resource.”

As the current 43-101 has 585,190 ounces of gold in the indicated resource category and 597,800 ounces of gold in the inferred resource category adding a million ounces by exploration and engineering would take to project to the 2 million plus ounce category.

2 million ounces with existing infrastructure is a pretty attractive package for a mid or senior tier producer looking to replace reserves. “We know some technical teams out there like what they see,” said Cloutier. “Which is why we are doing the exploration and engineering. We don’t want to leave those ounces on the table.”

The effect of the new ounces to the East is to lengthen the mine’s projected life even though they would be unlikely to be mined immediately. Drilling those ounces adds value to the Chimo Mine project but it also alters a potential purchaser’s calculations of that value.

It is also a calculation which makes Chimo attractive for Cartier to operate itself. “If our share price rises and we don’t get the right offer, we could run the mine ourselves,” said Cloutier. Because Chimo was already an operating mine, it has fast track options. After all, if the numbers make sense for an acquirer, they would make even more sense for Cartier itself. Cloutier is not ruling out any of the options but he sticks to his maxim of “creating shareholder value” as Cartier’s first priority.

Drilling and engineering for new ounces in what looks to be a rising gold market has put Cartier in a nearly perfect position for the coming re-rating of junior gold explorers. When that re-rating happens is unknown but Cartier is trading less than $0.10 higher than it was when gold was hovering around $1300 a year ago.

If Cartier can come up with another million ounces, it is hard to believe it will trade at less than $0.30. If gold and the juniors rally, Cartier could easily hit a dollar as drilling results and the third 43-101 prove up the resource at Chimo Mine.

GR Silver Mining Ltd. (TSXV: GRSL) (FRANKFURT: GPE) (OTCQB: GRSLF) (“GR Silver Mining” or the “Company”) – is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced bought deal private placement (the “Offering“) of an aggregate of 33,900,000 units of the Company (the “Units“) at a price of $0.27 per Unit (the “Issue Price“) for gross proceeds of $9,153,000, which included the exercise of the underwriters’ option in full. Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant“).

About GR Silver Mining Ltd.

GR Silver Mining Ltd. is a Mexico-focused company engaged in cost-effective silver-gold resource expansion on its key assets which lie on the eastern edge of the Rosario Mining District, Sinaloa, Mexico.

PLOMOSAS SILVER PROJECT

GR Silver Mining owns 100% of the Plomosas Silver Project located near the historic mining village of La Rastra, within the Rosario Mining District. The Project is a past-producing asset where only one mine, the Plomosas silver-gold-lead-zinc underground mine, operated from 1986 to 2001. The Project has an 8,515-hectare property position and is strategically located within 5 km of the San Marcial Silver Project in the southeast of Sinaloa State, Mexico. The Plomosas Project comprises six areas with an average of 100 surface and underground drill holes in each area, geophysical and geochemical data covering most of the concession, and the delineation of 16 exploration/drilling targets.

The 100% owned assets include all facilities and infrastructure including: access roads, surface rights agreement, water use permit, 8,000 m of underground workings, water access, 60 km – 33 KV power line, offices, shops, 120-person camp, infirmary, warehouses and assay lab representing approximately US$30 million of previous capital investments. The previous owners invested approximately US$18 million in exploration.

The silver and gold mineralization on this Project display the alteration, textures, mineralogy and deposit geometry characteristics of a low sulphidation epithermal silver-gold-base metal vein/breccia mineralized system. Previous exploration was focused on Pb-Zn-Ag-Au polymetallic shallow mineralization, hosted in NW-SE structures in the vicinity of the Plomosas mine. The E-W portion of the mineralization and extensions for the main N-S Plomosas fault remains under-explored. The Plomosas Silver Project has more than 500 recent and historical drill holes in six areas – Plomosas Mine, San Juan, La Colorada, Yecora, San Francisco and El Saltito. These drill holes represent an extensive database allowing the Company to advance towards resource estimation and potential project development in the near future.

SAN MARCIAL PROJECT

San Marcial is a near-surface, high-grade silver-lead-zinc open pit-amenable project. GR Silver Mining is currently drilling at the San Marcial Project, which contains 36 Moz AgEq (Indicated) + 11 Moz AgEq (Inferred), exploring recently defined new high-grade gold and silver targets along the project’s 6 km mineralized trend. GR Silver Mining is the first company to conduct exploration at San Marcial in over 10 years. The NI 43-101 resource estimate (San Marcial Project – Resource Estimation and Technical Report) was completed by WSP Canada Inc. on March 18, 2019 and amended on June 10, 2020.

Plomosas and San Marcial collectively represent a geological setting resembling the multimillion-ounce San Dimas Mining District which has historically produced more than 600 Moz silver and 11 Moz gold over a period of more than 100 years.

OTHER PROJECTS

GR Silver Mining’s other projects are situated in areas attractive for future discoveries and development in the same vicinity of Plomosas and San Marcial in the Rosario Mining District.
