Gold Bull's Sandman Project Scoping Study points to near-term production potential

2022-09-16 22:43:05 By : Mr. kumar lee

Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (" Gold Bull " or the " Company ") is pleased to report completion of its Sandman Scoping Study at its 100% owned Sandman Project (" Sandman " or the " Project ") located in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA.

The Sandman Scoping Study has identified a stand-alone low-cost start-up heap leach gold opportunity. The study focused on only mining mineralized material above the water table, which represents approximately 50% of the current NI 43-101 mineral resource. The Study highlights include:

This Scoping Study focused on the extraction of above water table oxide feed only, to facilitate cost effective and rapid mine commissioning. Additional Mineral Resources located below the water table will be included in future mine studies. The final Scoping Study will be a preliminary economic assessment, per NI 43-101 regulations, and will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days.

Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:

Sandman provides Gold Bull with a low-cost start-up opportunity. In our Phase 1 scoping study we only examined the oxide gold located above the water table, to investigate what a near-term small-scale development scenario could deliver. The IRR of 99% and pay back of just over a year is exceptional, considering this is not a life of mine study and neglects the other half of the resource lying below the water table, and the future resource growth potential. Sandman represents a realistic near-term mine scenario capable of generating cashflow, located in northern Nevada, a top mining jurisdiction.

The Sandman Scoping Study [prepared by Jerod Eastman, President of DJ 6E Consulting LLC, an independent third-party consultant] has demonstrated potentially strong financial metrics for the Sandman Project based on a proposed stand-alone low-cost start-up heap leach gold mine project located approximately 25 km from the mining town of Winnemucca (Figure 1 and 2) in central Northern Nevada, USA. This study investigated a Phase 1 five-year mine plan of above water table oxide material processed onsite via conventional Heap Leach processing. Gold Bull considers Sandman to be technically low risk, given the low strip ratio and significant historical database that the study was based on. The Scoping Study was completed to an overall +/- 30% accuracy using the key parameters and assumptions set out in Tables 1 and 2.

The figures in the Scoping Study are focused only on the above water table mining scenario. There is additional oxide and sulfide gold mineralization below the water table and these mineralized materials will be included in future feasibility studies. The above water table mine scenario in the Scoping Study targets near-term cash flow to later fund below water table oxide mine studies and development. This work must include further studies for sulfide product processing and additional resource drilling.

The Sandman Project Scoping Study reports an IRR of 99%, NPV 10 % of USD77M, annual cashflow of estimated USD30M, and a payback period of 1.1 years when applying a gold price of USD1,800/oz of gold. The initial capital cost is USD28.8M, which includes working capital of USD4.3M, and a further USD8.3M will be required in year 3 as sustaining capital for additional mine studies and second leach pad commissioning. Total operating cost is $15.99 per tonne and all in sustaining cost of $1,173/oz gold. Royalty is low at 1.2% of product.

Phase 1 contained oxide gold above the water table amounts to approximately 250,000 ounces with a head grade of 0.74 g/t gold spread across four known gold deposits. The 250,000 ounces of contained gold above water table that this study is based upon comprises approximately 50% of the 2021 pit-constrained NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate of 494,000 ounces. The four gold resources (see Figure 3: North Hill, Silica Ridge, Southeast Pediment, Abel Knoll) shall be mined via conventional open pit mining methods, with an average waste to product ratio of 1.6:1, annual production is 35K oz gold, with 2.2Mt feed production rate. Refer Table 1 for further details and estimated financial metrics.

Table 1. Scoping Study economic analysis of Sandman Project

Please note, it was assumed in this Cash Flow Model that Year 1 would follow the normal (reverse) S-curve for costs and performance. As such, there is an assumed ramp-up period for gold recovery, and operating costs are assumed to be higher in Year 1 during this ramp-up to steady state.

Figure 2. Sandman Project location relative to infrastructure and nearby regional mine servicing town of Winnemucca. The project is located on Jungo Road 20 kms from Winnemucca.

Figure 3. Sandman Scoping Study proposed mine design.

The Sandman Project presents strong financial results and a compelling mine opportunity for a stand-alone open pit mine, commencing at the North Hill deposit, followed by the Silica Ridge, Southeast Pediment and Abel Knoll deposits. The mine proposal includes onsite single-stage crushing, which will move progressively from each pit location, with separate dumps and two localised leach pads. The first leach pad will be constructed for North Hill and Silica Ridge, and the second leach pad will be constructed for $8.3M in year 3 and will receive mineralized material feed from Southeast Pediment and Abel Knoll.

Economics are based upon contract mining, crushing and heap leach as the main processing method. It is planned to load the gold onto activated carbon and then transport the loaded carbon to off-site stripping and refining plants for final gold doré recovery. A simplified mining schedule is anticipated to produce 35,000-40,000 ounces of gold per annum.

Given the North Hill and Silica Ridge deposits outcrop at surface, these deposits present the best strip ratio starter pit mine scenarios. Above water table oxide product is targeted in this Scoping Study to enable rapid permitting for mine start-up and initial cash flow. There is further additional opportunity to mine the below water table oxide mineralization and use initial mine production profit to fund further below water table mine studies over the initial five-year mine period. The Scoping Study economics do not include the additional oxide mineralization located below the water table; as this will be included in future feasibility studies.

Table 2. Sandman Project Scoping Study mine factors applied to the economic evaluation

An operating cost estimate has been calculated at US$15.99 per tonne of mineralized material mined and processed for the project. The estimate relates to all costs to allow production of gold doré, capturing the processing plant facilities, contractor mining, product refining and general and administration (G&A) costs.

Table 3. Sandman Project operating cost summary.

Basis for Economic calculations (tonnage/grades)

The Company announced its Mineral Resource Estimate February 2, 2021 (refer to table 6) with combined Indicated and Inferred ounces totaling 494K ounces of gold.

Table 4 summarises the tonnes and grade applied to the Scoping Study for above water table oxide mineralization.

The Scoping Study is preliminary in nature, includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the Scoping Study will be realized.

A further grade model was created for the Scoping Study to include the 2021 and 2022 drill results and estimate an above water table tonnage and grade model. This was applied to the Scoping Study pit optimisation work and the resulting tonnes and grade are summarised in Table 4. The water table surface was conservatively defined by first intercept of water in the exploration drill holes. Detailed hydrogeological studies accurately defining the water table are yet to be conducted.

Mining Methods The Sandman Project is planned to be mined using conventional open pit mining methods on the four (4) separate deposits in the order listed in Table 4. The mining operation schedule is dayshift only with a roster of two production crews on a 4-days on and 4-days off, 12 hours per day.

Pre-production stripping is minimal as mineralized material is located at or near surface where mining is anticipated to begin at the North Hill and Silica Ridge deposits. The pit areas have small shrubs and grasses that can be easily cleared with planned mining equipment. Open pit mining is currently envisaged to be by diesel-powered equipment, utilizing a combination of one rotary blasthole rig drilling 170mm diameter blastholes, one 8m 3 front-end loader (or similar size excavator), and five, 70-tonne capacity trucks to handle mineralized material and waste. The mining fleet has sufficient capacity to move up to approximately 5.5Mtpa of total material on a dayshift-only schedule. Support equipment comprising a grader, track dozer(s) and water truck will aid in the mining. Mineralized material will be hauled to the crushing area for stockpiling before being rehandled later for primary crushing. Initially, waste rock will be stored in the waste rock dumps close to the pit to reduce haulage costs. As space and design allows, waste will be backfilled into the pit to reduce haulage costs and surface disturbance.

Haul roads are contemplated to be 9-10m widths for one-way traffic and 18-20m widths for two-way traffic. The final location of the ramps will be optimized to reduce the overall pit slopes and to aid in efficient haulage to various stockpile locations. The pit is considered dry.

The mine plan was designed to deliver ~2,000,000 tonnes of mineralized material per year to the processing facility. The mine plan was based on efficient extraction of mineralized material above the water table and started at the North Hill deposit (predicted higher-grade and low strip ratio) and then working the deposits in a southerly direction without regard to Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource categories.

Total estimated mining workforce is 45-50 people, comprising a team of 15 Gold Bull personnel and 30-35 mining contractors (20 production operators, 8 maintenance techs, 5 supervisory staff).

Table 5 summarizes the five-year annual mining production schedule for above water table product, it is not a life of mine schedule.

Table 5. Sandman Project annual mining production schedule for 5 years of the four Sandman deposits. Mining is for above water table mining only.

Mineral Processing and Recovery Methods

Precious metal recovery from this Scoping Study is through conventional heap leaching and adsorption, desorption, regeneration (ADR) technology for metal extraction from crushed product using industry standard equipment. Processing will involve mineralized material passing through a single stage of crushing, which will allow for haulage transport and end-dump stacking of the mineralized material onto a heap leach pad. The processing facilities accommodate a leachable tonnage of approximately 11Mt of product at a gold grade of 0.74g/t and a process rate of 5,000tpd or 2.1Mtpa. The heap leach pad facilities have been located and designed with expandability for a LOM production increase.

Mineralized material will be delivered to the heap leach pad from the open pit and placed in the stockpile adjacent to the crushing plant. The mineralized material will be fed to the crushing plant using a front-end loader and will be crushed and then transported to the heap leach pad via haul trucks. The mineralized material will be stacked onto the heap using industry standard end-dumping and dozer pushing and then leached with a weak cyanide solution to extract the precious metal values. The gold will then be recovered from the pregnant solution in the carbon columns by adsorbing the dissolved gold onto activated carbon, which will be bagged and transported off-site to an external facility to extract gold from the loaded carbon. The stripped carbon will be returned from the external treatment facility to site for continuous reuse in the process plant. The doré will be sent to a contract refiner for final refining.

High level sensitivity analysis of the Sandman Project economics was conducted, indicating the project is most sensitive towards gold price and less sensitive towards operating cost and least sensitive to capital cost.

Table 6. January 2021 NI 43-101 Sandman Gold Resource Estimate. Full report available: Sandman-NI-43-101_2021-01-20.pdf (goldbull.ca) Please note that the Sandman 2021 NI 43-101 Resource Estimate does not include drilling conducted by Gold Bull in 2021 and 2022.

Further metallurgical and hydrogeological studies are required for inclusion in a Feasibility Study. Baseline hydrogeological, cultural and biological surveys have previously been conducted at Sandman, however, may need to be updated for mine permitting.

This Scoping Study is a preliminary technical and economic study investigating the potential viability of commissioning and running a gold mine at the Sandman Project. The Scoping Study includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the Scoping Study will be realized.

The Scoping Study in this announcement is based on technical and economic assumptions and assessments which could be further refined and evaluated in a prefeasibility and feasibility study. If the Company were to attempt to bring the Sandman Project into production without established mineral reserves on the project supported by a full feasibility study, the Company cautions that this could result in a higher risk of economic or technical failure of the operation than if a full feasibility study had been prepared demonstrating economic and technical viability.

The Scoping Study is based on material assumptions outlined in this announcement. These include assumptions about the availability of funding and other parameters. While the Company considers all the material assumptions are based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated in this Scoping Study announcement can be achieved or realised. There are no assurances that the Sandman Project will be found to be economic.

To achieve the potential mine development outcomes indicated in the Scoping Study, significant funding is required as well as further metallurgical, hydrogeological, and environmental assessments and permits received prior to confirming mining can take place. The Study has focussed only on initial oxide mining of mineralized material above the water table using conventional heap leach processing. Investors should note there is no certainty that the Company will be able to raise the required funding when needed, however the Company has concluded that it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward-looking statements included in this announcement and believes that it has a "reasonable basis" to expect it will be able to fund the gold development project upon receiving satisfactory and favourable results for further metallurgical, hydrogeological and environmental studies and permits enabling economic ore extraction. Further studies are required to confirm the proposed mine scenario and confirm assumptions made in this Scoping Study.

It is also possible that such funding may only be available on terms that may be dilutive, or otherwise affect the value of the Company's existing shares. It is also possible that the Company could pursue other strategies to provide alternative funding options including project finance. Given the uncertainties involved for the metallurgical, hydrogeological and environmental assessments and permits, investors should not make any investment decision based solely on the results of the Scoping Study and assume a mine will be developed, however every effort will be made by the Company to progress towards mine development.

In December 2020, Gold Bull purchased the Sandman Project from Newmont. Gold mineralization was first discovered at Sandman in 1987 by Kennecott and the project has been intermittently explored since then. There are four known pit constrained gold resources located within the Sandman Project, consisting of 21.8Mt at 0.7g/t gold for 494,000 ounces of gold; comprising of an Indicated Resource of 18,550kt at 0.73g/t gold for 433kozs of gold plus an Inferred Resource of 3,246kt at 0.58g/t gold for 61kozs of gold. Several of the resources remain open in multiple directions and the bulk of the historical drilling has been conducted to a depth of less than 100m. Sandman is conveniently located circa 25-30 km northwest of the mining town of Winnemucca, Nevada.

Gold Bull Resources Corp. (TSX-V: GBRC) (" Gold Bull " or the " Company ") is pleased to report that the drilling program is progressing as planned at its 100% owned Sandman Project (" Sandman " or the " Project ") located in Humboldt County, Nevada, USA. Assays from the initial batch of samples submitted to the laboratory are anticipated to be received in March.

Gold Bull CEO, Cherie Leeden commented:

The Sandman drilling program is progressing very well on the ground. We eagerly await assay results. In the meantime, the exploration team is working through surface geochemical and geophysical results from the Windmill target area, as well as newly recovered paper records from historic drilling at the Ten Mile prospect. It is nice to see gold hit $1900 in the middle of our drill program.

The current drilling program at Sandman commenced on January 12 th and continues according to plan. A total of nine holes have been completed for 1,722 m (5,648 ft) of a total planned 4,035 m (13,238 ft), with one additional hole in progress at the time of writing. Holes have been completed at North Hill, including a scout hole west of the Mineral Resource Estimate, the Midway target area, and at Silica Ridge (Figure 1). The rig will move to Abel Knoll after the next break.

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) ("GoldHaven" or the "Company") announces that it has prioritized a follow-up campaign including soil grid extensions at newly identified target areas as well as prospecting and mapping of extensive newly acquired contiguous land positions in the belt. Given preliminary results from its summer work program at Smoke Mountain, VTEM and LiDAR airborne surveys for the newly staked ground have also been scheduled for completion in October 2022 .

GoldHaven CEO, Justin Canivet commented "Our exploration results at Smoke Mountain this summer have prompted a high priority follow-up field program . The objective of the campaign is to obtain geologically-based vectors to porphyry and epithermal targets on this highly prospective and exciting property . Lab results and airborne survey interpretation from our summer program are expected in the coming weeks and we look forward to further leveraging these data and adding shareholder value."

GoldHaven has re-engaged Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd . to complete a comprehensive follow-up exploration program at Smoke Mountain. This program is focused on extending soil sampling grids at priority target areas defined in the recently completed 2022 summer program. Furthermore, the field work will focus on p rospecting and mapping newly staked contiguous land positions . Detailed geological mapping, along with the soil geochemical work will improve the interpretation of the geophysical datasets and constrain target locations.

GoldHaven has engaged Geotech Ltd. to conduct Helicopter-Borne VTEM TM and Magnetic Geophysical Surveys for the purpose of investigating the mineral potential over the extensive contiguous land position at Smoke Mountain. The proposed survey is approximately 721 line-kms over 1 block with a planned start date of late October . The survey will take 5-7 days to complete with the intention of targeting intermediate sulfidation polymetallic vein systems.

GoldHaven will be benefiting from Geotech Ltd's Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic ( VTEM TM ) geophysical system, which is excellent at locating discrete conductive anomalies as well as mapping lateral and vertical variations in resistivity .

Full waveform recording will also be employed to achieve very clean early-time measurements to effectively resolve near surface structures . GoldHaven will benefit from Geotech's Concentric Transmitter - Receiver geometry, which ensures positive anomaly location and results in huge time and costs savings as there will be no need for ground follow-up. The technology has successfully been deployed globally for targeting work in epithermal precious metal districts.

GoldHaven management seeks to acquire a Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit for drilling in Q2 2023 . The extensive geological, geochemical and geophysical campaigns from 2022 are yielding excellent preliminary porphyry and epithermal-style targets . GoldHaven is planning to carefully evaluate all of the obtained data during late 2022 and early 2023, with the objective of defining drill targets for testing going forward.

GoldHaven's Smoke Mountain land position was recently doubled from 4,190 hectares to 8,645 hectares based on promising preliminary results from geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted during the 2022 Smoke Mountain summer exploration program. The resulting large, contiguous land position defines a commanding land position in an emerging BC porphyry-epithermal belt . Copper, gold, and silver mineralization is extensive in the region with several promising new discoveries and extensions to mineralization (see below).

GoldHaven's Smoke Mountain property is strategically situated within an extensive 85 kilometre polymetallic belt that is highly prospective for gold-silver-zinc epithermal systems, porphyry copper-gold deposits, as well as gold and silver-rich magmatic-hydrothermal occurrences . The property is road accessible from Houston via a series of gravel forest service roads off Highway 16.

Exploration activity in the area has been renewed in this historic mining region , propelled by the ongoing expansion of advanced exploration projects and mines including:

Note: the mines and advanced exploration and development projects in the Central BC porphyry-epithermal provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain Property, but this is not necessarily indicative that the Smoke Mountain Property hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.

The historic Central BC porphyry-epithermal belt is re-emerging as an important copper-gold-silver jurisdiction as evidenced by increased staking activity and exploration drilling. The region is quickly becoming known for its long mineralized drill intercepts including Universal Copper's 216m interval grading 0.54% CuEq ( click here for release) and has the potential to host some of the largest copper-polymetallic discoveries in British Columbia .

In recent news, Surge Copper expanded their Ootsa project by 96% to a total of 439Mt grading 0.32% CuEq ( click here for release) increasing their total mineralized inventory in the southern part of this belt to over 1 billion tonnes (measured and indicated).

These results in the immediate vicinity of GoldHaven's Smoke Mountain project showcase the exceptional regional endowment and metallogenic character of the Late Cretaceous arc rocks hosted within this belt.  Among several emerging targets on the property, GoldHaven is working on a newly-identified 2.5km long untested and under-explored alteration and mineralization trend currently being examined by our field team at Smoke Mountain .

Note: The adjacent mines and advanced exploration and development projects in the Central BC porphyry-epithermal provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain Property, but this is not necessarily indicative that the Smoke Mountain Property hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.

GCM Mining Corp. ("GCM Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: GCM, OTCQX: TPRFF) announced today that its Segovia Operations produced 18,852 ounces of gold in August 2022, up from 17,377 ounces of gold in August last year. This brings the total gold production for the first eight months of 2022 to 139,952 ounces, up from 133,891 ounces in the first eight months last year. Segovia's trailing 12-months' total gold production at the end of August 2022 was 212,450 ounces, up about 3% over 2021. The Company remains on track to meet its annual production guidance for 2022 of between 210,000 and 225,000 ounces of gold.

Benefitting from the completion of the expansion of capacity at its Maria Dama processing plant at Segovia in August 2022, GCM Mining processed a total of 57,073 tonnes in the month, representing a daily processing rate of 1,841 tpd, compared with 50,245 tonnes and 1,621 tpd in August 2021. Segovia's head grades averaged 11.3 g/t in August 2022 compared with 12.0 g/t in August last year. For the first eight months of 2022, a total of 401,394 tonnes (equivalent to 1,652 tpd) were processed at Segovia at an average head grade of 12.0 g/t compared with a total of 365,805 tonnes (equivalent to 1,505 tpd) at an average head grade of 12.7 g/t in the first eight months last year. Production activities in the Company's mines and in the small-scale mines in its Segovia mining title in July and August were impacted by a temporary shortage in the supply of detonators for explosives. The situation is beginning to normalize and this should benefit production through the balance of the year.

The Company also processed an average of 107 tpd of tailings in August 2022 at its polymetallic plant at Segovia resulting in the production of approximately 133 tonnes of zinc concentrate and approximately 106 tonnes of lead concentrate. Payable production from the concentrates in August 2022 is estimated to total approximately 124,000 pounds of zinc, 137,000 pounds of lead, 9,900 ounces of silver and 128 ounces of gold. Actual payable quantities are subject to change and will be finalized once the concentrates are shipped. To date, the Company has produced a total of approximately 926 tonnes of lead concentrate and 1,071 tonnes of zinc concentrate which have been stockpiled. Transportation of the first concentrates to port has commenced this week and the first shipment to the international offtake customer is expected to take place before the end of September.

GCM Mining is a mid-tier gold producer with a proven track record of mine building and operating in Latin America. In Colombia, the Company is the leading high-grade underground gold and silver producer with several mines in operation at its Segovia Operations. Segovia produced 206,389 ounces of gold in 2021. In Guyana, the Company is advancing its fully funded Toroparu Project, one of the largest undeveloped gold/copper projects in the Americas, which is expected to commence production of more than 200,000 ounces of gold annually in 2024. GCM Mining has equity interests in Aris Gold Corporation (~44%; TSX: ARIS; Colombia – Marmato, Soto Norte; Canada - Juby), Denarius Metals Corp. (~32%; TSX-V: DSLV; Spain – Lomero-Poyatos and Colombia – Guia Antigua, Zancudo) and Western Atlas Resources Inc. (~26%; TSX-V: WA: Nunavut – Meadowbank).

Falcon Gold Corp. (TSXV:FG)(GR:3FA)(OTCQB:FGLDF); ("Falcon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that exploration has commenced at the Company's 100% owned Gander North Property, with initial results now available from its reconnaissance exploration program. The project commenced in late June, with initial prospecting and till sampling. Preliminary efforts have identified numerous evidence for quartz veins, including subcrop and float. Surface samples collected to date have been submitted for assay; and initial results have returned values of up to 885 ppb gold from sub cropping quartz veins, up to 0.15% copper, and up to 26.8 gpt silver from quartz float. Several samples have returned anomalous tungsten, and further analysis is required to confirm the content. Initial results for gold are presented in figure 1. Multiple geophysical targets were identified over the project area earlier this year through review of publicly available datasets, and these will be the focus of ongoing reconnaissance. Detailed work, including systematic sampling and geological mapping will commence this fall to better define targets in advance of drilling. Work permit applications have been submitted for the drill program, and approval is pending

Mr. Karim Rayani, Falcon's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Excellent progress is being made at our Gander North project, preliminary results are more than just encouraging with surface samples as high as 885 ppb gold. We now have multiple geophysical targets to go after that have been identified - with the help of publicly available data sets, we have now submitted our drill plan application and are awaiting final approval for our inaugural drill campaign. This is an opportunistic time for Falcon, as we have set ourselves apart from our peers. We control a sizeable area of influence totaling 108,000 hectares when combining this with our JV partner Marvel Discovery at Baie Verte and Golden Brook the number jumps to 150,000 hectares making us one of the dominant players on the island. We look forward to reporting back on the remaining sample results with the drill permit news when received."

About the Gander North Property

The Gander North Property is comprised of 406 claims within two blocks covering 10,150 hectares, and is located in two blocks, one immediately south of Gander, Newfoundland (see figure 1), and the second block immediately east of the town. The property occurs within the Gander Zone and is proximal to the

Figure 1 - Initial results from 2022 sampling stations at the Gander North Property.

Dog Bay-Appleton-Grub fault system, a crustal scale zone that extends southwest from the north coast of Newfoundland for nearly 200km to Gander. Structural corridors in central Newfoundland have shown to be intimately associated with recent gold discoveries including New Found Gold's Queensway project located approximately 9km from Falcon's project, an area of considerable potential that made national headlines recently in an article by the Financial Post (https://financialpost.com/commodities/mining/eric-sprott-makes-his-biggest-bet-yet-on-what-he-believes-could-be-the-greatest-gold-discovery-in-the-history-of-canada).

Northeast trending structural lineaments first recognized by Gander Gold have returned spectacular results from soil geochemistry sampling surveys as evidenced with recent published results of 1432 parts per billion gold. These NW trending zones are interpreted to continue onto Falcon's Gander North Property. An interpretation of the regional magnetics show NNE trending, ophiolite bearing thrust faults are cross-cut by a series of brittle NE trending fault-fractures, which indicate a regional setting similar to the highly prospective eastern Exploits Subzone (see figure 2). Gold mineralization models along the Exploits Subzone are based on structural settings analogous to those reported for Fosterville in Victoria, Australia (https://exploitsdiscovery.com/projects/). Tungsten mineralization models indicate a common association with intrusion-related gold deposition that have a genetic association to felsic intrusions, particularly within cratonic margins or back-arc positions relative to continental margin arcs, or within continental collisional settings.

First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL OTC FSTTF ) (the "Company" or "First Tellurium"), reports that the US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched the Cadmium Telluride Accelerator Consortium a $20 million initiative designed to make cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells less expensive and more efficient. The Consortium's intent is to spur technological advancements in CdTe manufacturing to help increase America's competitiveness, bolster domestic innovation and advance clean electricity deployment. The initiative augments President Biden's goal of achieving a net-zero economy by 2050.

"This news further supports our efforts to expand and develop the tellurium resource at the Deer Horn Project," said First Tellurium President and CEO Tyrone Docherty. "The demand for tellurium continues to increase, not only for solar cells, but for new battery technology and other applications. Currently the United States imports 95% of its required tellurium."

First Tellurium's Deer Horn Property, located in west-central British Columbia, hosts one of the world's only silver-gold-tellurium properties with an NI 43-101 compliant tellurium resource. The Company is also exploring the Klondike tellurium-gold property in Colorado, a high-grade tellurium prospect held previously by First Solar, Inc., one of the world's largest solar panel producers.

According to 360 Research, the CdTe solar cell market is expected to exceed $10 billion in 2027, more than double the roughly $4 billion in CdTe cells installed in 2021. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimates that roughly 40% of tellurium consumed in the U.S. during 2021 went to production of CdTe solar cells.

CdTe solar cells, made from cadmium and tellurium, were first developed in the United States. Today they make up about 20% of the market for solar modules. They offer the lowest cost-per-watt technology , have the shortest energy payback time and are the least carbon intensive in production.

"Major cadmium-telluride manufacturers, and in particular First Solar Inc., will need new amounts of tellurium to meet market needs," said Docherty. "According to the USGS, First Solar already consumes roughly 30% of the world's tellurium production."

First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR), broke ground in August 2021 on its third and largest CdTe solar cell manufacturing facility, located in Ohio.

The new 3.3 gigawatt (GW)DC plant, scheduled to open mid-2023, represents a $680 million investment. When fully operational, the facility is expected to scale the company's Ohio manufacturing footprint to a total annual capacity of 6 GWDC, which is expected make it the largest fully vertically integrated solar manufacturing complex outside China.

First Solar also intends to build its fourth domestic factory, with an annual capacity of 3.5 GWDC, in the US Southeast. The company expects to invest up to $1 billion in the new factory, which, contingent upon permitting and pending approval of various federal, state, regional, and local incentives, is expected to commence operations in 2025.

A December, 2021 report by S&P Global Market Intelligence noted: "First Solar's plan to spend $1.36 billion to help increase module capacity to 16 GW by 2024 seems certain to strain the tellurium market. If the company achieves its goals, its annual demand for the mineral will exceed last year's estimated global production by up to 70%, according to data from a November report by researchers at the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona."

Seeing the growing need for domestic supplies of tellurium, Rio Tinto invested approximately $2.9 million to build a plant capable of recovering roughly 20 metric tons of this semiconductive metalloid as a byproduct of the copper produced at its Kennecott Mine in Utah. First Solar has committed to purchasing all the tellurium produced at Kennecott.

"There are so many factors aligning for a robust tellurium market going forward," said Docherty. "With the U.S. pushing heavily to expand North American supply chains, we're positioning First Tellurium strategically to help meet that growing demand."

Presenting at the NAI 500 Resource Conference First Tellurium also reports that it will be presenting at the NAI 500 GCFF Global Resource Investment Conference , September 24th, 2022 at the Richmond Sheraton Hotel. GCFF is pleased to announce the return to in-person attendance for the first time since the pandemic.

Edgemont Gold Corp. (CSE: EDGM) (FSE: EG8) ("Edgemont") is pleased to announce the assay results from its recent Phase II drill program at the Dungate copper-gold porphyry project, where a total of five holes totaling 2063 metres were drilled in the spring of 2022. Dungate is located 6 km south of the town of Houston in the Omineca Mining Division of B.C.

Highlights from this drilling include:

  In addition, additional assaying of Hole 2021-04, drilled in 2021, returned an interval of 55 m @ 0.20 g/t Au (previously reported as 27m @ 0.24 g/t Au).

The target for this drill program was following up on structurally controlled gold zones discovered in the 2021 Phase 1 drill program (see March 28, 2022 news release). These zones were associated with coincident magnetic and IP anomalies within and proximal to a highly altered and sulphide mineralized quartz feldspar porphyry ("QFP") intrusion. QFP was intersected in 4 holes of this Phase 2 program, with hole DG22-08 intersecting a 279 meter zone (261m - 540m) of complete quartz flooded replacement of what is interpreted as intermediate volcanics. Unfortunately, this quartz zone was not mineralized. A map of the drill holes completed at Dungate can be accessed below.

2022 Drill Hole Location Map To view an enhanced version of this map, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/6955/137195_de76900f14802abc_002full.jpg

Gold mineralization was encountered both in the host volcanics adjacent to the QFP and within the QFP intrusive which generally had 2-10% sulphides occurring as disseminations, replacements, fracture fillings, veins, and as breccias. The surrounding volcanic host rock to the intrusion was also variably altered, presumably by the proximity to the QFP intrusive.

Broad anomalous copper and molybdenum intervals were intersected in the heart of the QFP indicating pervasive mineralization, but with no higher grade concentrations (>0.20% Cu) encountered.

Significant drill results are as follows (In general - Gold zones >0.10 g/t Au with anomalous Silver, Copper and Molybdenum):

  1 DG21-04 intersection previously reported as 27m @ 0.24 g/t Au (NR March 28, 2022)

Drill results from 2022 have confirmed the structurally controlled gold mineralization indicated in the 2021 program with gold deposition on the periphery of the QFP and into the adjacent volcanic host rocks. In the opinion of Edgemont management, economic intersections of gold have not yet been encountered. Due to the wide spacing of the current drilling it is unknown whether a higher concentration of gold exists lateral to the currently intersected zones. Edgemont continues to assess these latest drill results, along with prior data, and will provide an update on future exploration plans at Dungate in due course.

This news release reports the assay results from five (5) drill holes from which 871 core samples were assayed. The Company inserted certified standards and blanks into the sample stream as a check on laboratory Quality Control (QC). Drill core samples are cut by diamond saw at a core facilities in Houston, BC. A halved core sample is left in the core box. The other half core is sampled and transported by Gold Terra personnel in securely sealed bags to MSALabs in Terrace, BC for crushing and grinding, then transport to MSALabs analytical facility in Langley, BC. Ground and were subjected to 30g fire assay with AA finish (FAS-111) and Multi-element ICP-ES (ICP-130) Aqua Regia analysis (34 elements).
