Pest Control Center Announces New, Free, No-Obligation Five-Point Vulnerability Audit

Quick, convenient, no-pressure examination helps residents and businesses catch termites and other pest problems before they take root and do damage, Pest Control Center reports

Sacramento, CA, United States of America – April 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

With termite swarm season underway, Pest Control Center announced the availability of a Free Five-Point Pest Vulnerability Audit throughout the company’s service area. This simple, free, no-pressure examination is the single best way to ensure that a home or business premises remains free of termites and to guard against the costly damage they and other pests can do. Since 1986, Pest Control Center has been one of Northern California’s leading pest control specialists, helping over 4,000 families and businesses rid their valuable properties of termites, rodents, and other destructive pests.

“Termites may be tiny, but the damage they can do is enormous and expensive,” Pest Control Center representative Debi Carpadus observed, “As they begin to swarm this year, our new pest vulnerability audit will help homeowners and commercial clients ensure that these ravenous pests do not get a chance to take hold. As always, our expert technicians deliver honest, accurate results, with nothing in the way of pressure tactics.”

Consuming as much as 3% of their body weight in wood every day, termites are a menace to buildings throughout North America. Although they are often hard to detect throughout much of the year, termites regularly make themselves known in springtime, when warmer temperatures and rainfall provoke them into emerging from their colonies to seek new lodgings.

This annual spurt of activity is one of the most visible signs of an insect that causes billions of dollars worth of damage in the United States every year as it gnaws its way into over 600,000 homes and other buildings. Being prepared for the yearly swarm is one of the best ways of all of ensuring that termites do not infest a particular home or business location, with experts often being able to identify weaknesses that can be addressed.

With a nearly 30-year history of addressing these issues and more, Pest Control Center is uniquely well positioned to offer up this valuable kind of assistance. The company’s new, free five-point pest audit will help those who take advantage of it ward off the threats posed by termites, mice, and any other destructive pests.

With a no-pressure approach that reflects the company’s commitment to providing real relief from pest problems and building enduring relationships with clients, experienced Pest Control Center technicians can often assess a property in a matter of minutes. As detailed at the company’s website in the “Services We Offer” section, Pest Control Center is also Northern California’s top source for pest remediation and damage repair. For any kind of pest problem, whether potential or existing, then, Pest Control Center is the first company to call.

About Pest Control Center:
Providing much of Northern California with the best in pest control and damage repair since 1986, Sacramento-based Pest Control Center is a family-owned business that focuses on earning the trust of customers through effective, personal service without any pressure.

Park Avenue Dental Helps Raise Oral Cancer Awareness With 50% Discount on Screenings

Through the end of April, Orange Park, Fla., clinic offers unbeatable prices on screenings as part of Oral Cancer Awareness Month, Park Avenue Dental reports

Orange Park, FL, United States of America – April 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

Park Avenue Dental, the city’s leading dental clinic, announced a special offer in recognition of April as Oral Cancer Awareness Month. Under the terms of the offer, patients who mention the clinic’s related advertisement or Facebook posts will receive a discount of 50% off the usual price for an oral cancer screening. For over 20 years, Park Avenue Dental has provided the best in dental care to the residents of Orange Park and nearby areas.

“Although it doesn’t get as much press as many other diseases, oral cancer is very often deadly,” Park Avenue Dental founder Dr. Michael Sherman said, “The best defense against oral cancers of all kinds is early detection. As our way of contributing to Oral Cancer Awareness Month, we are happy to be able to offer oral cancer screenings at half off compared to our usual rates.”

According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, that disease strikes nearly 50,000 Americans annually, with a 5-year mortality rate of nearly 50% making it one of the most dangerous cancers of all. Unfortunately, relatively little progress has made in fighting the disease, with both incidence and survival rates remaining stable for decades.

Many experts attribute the high death rate of oral cancer to the fact that it is often not detected until it has progressed relatively far, giving it an opportunity to metastasize to other parts of the body, especially the lymph nodes. All authorities agree that the single best way of guarding against these dangers is to undergo regular screenings and otherwise attempt to catch the disease as early as possible.

As Orange Park’s most trusted dentist for over twenty years, Dr. Michael Sherman has provided countless oral cancer screenings, using his expertise to help patients guard against this under-recognized threat. Park Avenue Dental’s special Oral Cancer Awareness Month screening offer is a reflection of the dedication and responsibility that Sherman and others at the clinic feel for the Orange Park community.

In addition to providing important services of this kind, park avenue dental also accommodates a wide range of other dental needs, from routine cleanings and examinations to the most accomplished cosmetic dentistry in the area. Park Avenue Dental has been widely recognized as the best source of Invisalign services in Orange Park, FL, for example, thanks to the clinic’s long, successful record of helping patients take advantage of the smile-improving power of this popular approach.

To qualify for the 50% discount on an oral cancer screening at Park Avenue Dental, patients need only mention the company’s related advertisement or Facebook postings. As always, those interested in any of the clinic’s area-leading dental services can make appointments by phone or by using a convenient contact form at the Park Avenue Dental website.

About Park Avenue Dental:
Led by Dr. Michael Sherman, a dentist with over 20 years of experience who is widely considered the best in Orange Park, Park Avenue Dental provides an extensive range of general and cosmetic dentistry services, including Invisalign, same-day Cerec crowns, help with sleep apnea and gum disease, and more.

Tulsa’s Car City Auto Finance Launches Improved, Streamlined Loan Application System

New loan application system makes it even simpler to line up financing offers from 20 top lenders, giving easy access to area’s best selection of used vehicles, Car City Auto Finance reports

Tulsa, OK, United States of America – April 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

Car City Auto Finance, one of the area’s leading auto dealers, announced the introduction of a streamlined new loan application process. As one of the top providers of bad credit auto loans in Tulsa and other financing, Car City Auto Finance regularly looks for ways to serve the dealer’s customers in an even more satisfying manner. The new, improved loan application process will make it even simpler and more convenient for Car City Auto Finance clients to line up financing for any of the top-quality cars and trucks on the company’s lot at 3252 S. Yale Ave in Tulsa.

“Whatever your credit history, buying a used car does not have to be an aggravating experience,” Car City Auto Finance representative Anthony Baucum said, “Our improved loan application process is more efficient than ever before, making this important part of the process even easier. We’re proud to be known as the leading seller of used cars in Tulsa and happy that we are able to raise the bar for customer service once again.”

Even in an age which has seen several waves of record-setting fossil fuel prices, the American love affair with the automobile is as strong as ever. Over 250 million registered passenger vehicles travel the country’s roads, according to the federal Department of Transportation, with a healthy complement of commercial trucks and other specialized conveyances upping the total further.

Owning a car, in fact, feels like a basic requirement of life for many people. All the same, buying a new car can be an unpleasantly expensive proposition, with average prices climbing at a rate of 3% per year and now topping $31,000, according to the research of TRUECar.

By focusing on providing the best vehicle selection and customer service in the whole Tulsa region, Car City Auto Finance has become the leading source for those who seek gratifying alternatives to buying new. With an “A” rating from the Better Business Bureau and similarly superlative reviews from past customers in databases like that at Google+, the company stands out among a sea of competitors as the single best source for used cars and trucks in Tulsa.

Determined to provide people of all credit histories with the vehicles they need and rely on to get to work and elsewhere, Car City Auto Finance maintains strong relationships with over 20 of the industry’s most accommodating lenders. That allows Car City Auto Finance to offer up financing within five minutes to most who apply either online or in person, with 96% of those who begin the process walking away with highly attractive loan offers.

The newly improved Car City Auto Finance loan application process will make it even easier for people from Tulsa and beyond to secure the financing they need. In addition to taking advantage of the new loan system online at the company’s website, visitors there can also browse the Car City Auto Finance inventory and read more about how to buy a used car and other important topics. The Car City Auto Finance dealership at 3252 S. Yale Ave in Tulsa also welcomes visitors from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

About Car City Auto Finance:
With the Tulsa area’s easiest, most accessible financing and widest selection of top-quality used cars and trucks, Car City Auto Finance works closely with every buyer to find the best possible vehicle and loan.

The Urban List Recognizes Napoli Nel Cuore as One of Sydney’s Top 5 Pizza Restaurants

Delivering the world-renowned, authentic flavors of Naples to eager residents of Sydney, company has grown quickly to include locations in Redfern and Maroubra, Napoli Nel Cuore reports

Sydney, NSW, Australia – April 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

Napoli Nel Cuore, a purveyor of authentic Neapolitan pizza and southern Italian cuisine, was just recognized by The Urban List as one of the city’s top five pizza restaurants. In addition to pointing out that Napoli Nel Cuore serves some of the Best Pizza in Sydney, Urban List judges also praised the popular restaurant’s antipasto, attentive service, and convenient online reservation system. Growing by leaps and bounds since its founding, Napoli Nel Cuore has quickly become one of the restaurants that Sydney residents look to first for authentic, heartfelt Neapolitan cuisine. The company has locations at 1 Maroubra Road in Maroubra and at 658 Bourke Street in Redfern, each open seven days a week from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

“We’re thrilled to say that the demanding judges of the Urban List recognized us as one of the top five pizza restaurants in all of Sydney,” said Napoli Nel Cuore co-founder and fourth-generation Neapolitan pizza-maker Fabio Savarese, “Napoli Nel Cuore means ‘Naples in the Heart,’ and it is heartwarming and humbling to be able to share this world-class cuisine with the many wonderful guests at our two locations.”

Although Sydney lies almost 15,000 kilometers from the southern Italian city of Naples, the residents of the former have a notable appreciation for pizza and other dishes associated with the latter. Market research firm IBISWorld points out that Australian consumers have, in recent years, increasingly shifted toward high-end, more authentic pizza and Italian cuisine instead of the mass-market style that was formerly the popular choice.

Italian-born husband-and-wife team Fabio Savarese and Laura Campisi founded Napoli Nel Cuore with the goal of providing residents of Sydney with the kinds of authentic, elevated dining experiences they now seek. Savarese’s Naples-centered family has for generations focused on producing the unforgettable pizza that birthplace of the dish is known around the world for. Not long after the couple’s first location opened in Redfern, it attracted highly favorable notice in the Daily Telegraph, with the reviewer comparing its pizza and other offerings to the best that could be found in Naples.

Setting their sights on producing the Best Pizza in Maroubra, Savarese and Campisi opened a second location in that suburb last year, upholding the passionate approach to cuisine and service that had made the Redfern restaurant such a resounding success. Since then, Napoli Nel Cuore has continued to grow and attract highly positive attention.

In addition to the just-announced Urban List award, Napoli Nel Cuore also recently made a great impression on well-known, globe-trotting food blogger fashimi. That reviewer singled out the restaurant’s pizza as the best in all of Sydney, also praising its arancini and other offerings.

Napoli Nel Cuore is just as popular with those who come to eat and enjoy their evenings instead of writing reviews or bestowing awards, too. A full 90% of respondents at website Urbanspoon recommend the restaurants, one of the most impressive records in the whole city. For the most authentic and Best Pizza in Surry Hills, Redfern, Maroubra, and Sydney in general, then, Napoli Nel Cuore is the clear choice.

About Napoli Nel Cuore:
With top-quality ingredients, a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and a deep love of the cuisine of Naples, Napoli Nel Cuore serves up authentic Neapolitan pizza and other southern Italian favorites at locations in Maroubra and Redfern.

Email PGP Encryption Software for Latest Blackberry Phones

PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy which is a software package that is employed to encrypt data especially for files and emails.

April 21, 2015 /MarketersMedia/

Some people have accepted this level of intrusion as something that they do not care about, do not need to worry about, or simply cannot do anything to stop from happening. This should not be the case. No one should involuntarily give up their right to privacy. Some people simply cannot allow it because of the sensitive information that they work on.

Some government agencies have overstepped their bounds in the eyes of many citizens, by overreaching in their scope of how far they go in collecting data. The one thing that has not been acknowledged is that government agencies may be stepping on the toes of other agencies, either government or non-government, who absolutely survive by secrecy. Not everyone knows what the other is doing, nor should they in an ideal world. Barriers must be kept in place in certain situations.

Android and iPhones have proven to be unreliable when it comes to encryption and data protection. These popular devices have been relatively reduced to the status of toys when it comes to industrial or professional grade protection against espionage at any level. No one knows where the compromise begins and ends with these platforms whose very hardware was born with the idea of giving access to those who demanded it from certain levels.

This is not true with the Blackberry phone. It does not seem to be the concerted target of any known or unknown organizations at the hardware level. Regardless, it still requires strong protection at the software level. This is where PGP encryption software comes in. With this carefully developed and customized solution, people using Blackberry phones with the encryption software correctly installed and configured can have peace of mind again that their information is not available to anyone except the intended targets.

This is a huge benefit, and a relief to the business and private sector. Being able to shut out prying eyes and nosy ears is a blessing. Now, it is an affordable tool that is available through only a select group. Right now, the leader of this technology is a company called BlackberryEncryptedPhones.com. They make their product available straight from their website. They have been delivering worldwide messaging since 2004. This is a highly trusted and reputable company in the business world.

Of course, the government is not happy about this. They continue to push for legislation against this type of software, openly admitting that they are powerless against it. What comes around goes around. Some would say that it is Karma.

Bitcoin Alternative NXT Announces Upcoming Release of NXT Version 1.5: The Complete Toolkit For Business

With upcoming release of Nxt software version 1.5 – which will include voting functionality, ability to use enhanced multisig account control, and improved data storage and transfer capabilities – Nxt has reached a new milestone as the next generation blockchain platform.

Amsterdam, Netherlands – April 21, 2015 /MM-BitcoinPR/

From its inception in late 2013 Nxt has been designed to be a multipurpose toolkit, to be used either directly from the NRS client software or to be incorporated into third party applications.

With account authorisation via the issue of secure tokens, enhanced data transfer and storage (with the ability to remove data when required), voting, multisignature transactions and much, much more, Nxt has now developed into a mature and complete next generation blockchain system for business use.

Nxt Modularity

Nxt is designed and built to be a modular system. It features several different transaction types, which can be used on their own or in combination. The current feature set, after the version 1.5 implementation of Voting and Phasing (enhanced multisig/account control) will include:

– Send Transactions (sending the NXT currency or tokens to accounts
– Data Transactions (send and store up to 40 kb of data)
– Coloured Coins Transactions (create and trade Asset tokens)
– Alias Creation Transactions (enabling the assignment of strings, such as a DNS entry, to Nxt accounts)
– Sales Transactions (create and manage digital sales via a native marketplace)
– Signature Transactions (provide proof of account via single-use token authentication)
– Voting Transactions (fully customised polling system based on the Nxt blockchain)
– Multisig Transactions
– Custom Currencies Transactions (create customisable currencies on top of the Nxt blockchain)

More in-depth information about these transaction types can be found in the Nxt Wiki or on the resource site, NxtInside.org.

The perfect tool for DAOs

Nxt is the perfect tool for the creation of Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs). A business or developer can issue their own tokens representing their organisational structure, handle a transaction stream, and keep their finance records in a fully transparent and auditable manner on the blockchain. Building new tools to enhance the core Nxt functionality for a business’s own requirements is always possible, and the Nxt developer community will be happy to provide support for custom solutions where required.

There is no absolute need to use the provided Nxt client software (the NRS client) if users do not want to, since Nxt can be utilised directly from within other applications by using the Nxt API, which currently has around 150 function calls. Full documentation for Nxt API can be found on the Nxt Wiki.

Examples of projects that have been or are being built with Nxt include MyNxt.info, a browser wallet that supports plugins; DeBuNe, a company building business tools with Nxt; and Pangea Poker, a fully decentralised poker application.

Nxt Foundation and PayExpo

Last month, the Nxt Foundation was incorporated as a portal organisation to act as a point of contact for the Nxt community and anyone interested in the possibilities offered by Nxt – either from the cryptocurrency world or from the wider mainstream business community. The Nxt Foundation can also connect anyone with project ideas involving Nxt, such as entrepreneurs and business owners, with developers who can support or implement ideas and projects.

The people within the Nxt Foundation have a background in sales, marketing and software development, and are happy to help people explore the possibilities of using Nxt.

The NXT Foundation will be the official Cryptocurrency Sponsor of the upcoming PayExpo event, to be held in London on the 9th and 10th June 2015.

Anyone is welcome to contact the Nxt Foundation at bas@nxtfoundation.org should they have any questions or require any assistance with Nxt, or a project involving Nxt.

NXT in Space

Nxt is also a sponsor for the Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) project: a private UK-based initiative to launch an autonomous 3d-printed drone to the edge of space. This mission will carry a copy of the Nxt client software on its flight control computer, taking Nxt to new heights.

Discover the Can-Do You, Treat Hearing Loss, BHI Urges for Better Hearing & Speech Month

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2015 / Getting a hearing test and treating hearing loss can open up a whole new way of looking at life, says the Better Hearing Institute (BHI), which is raising awareness of the importance of hearing health during Better Hearing & Speech Month in May. New research from BHI shows that people with hearing loss who use hearing aids are more likely to be optimistic, tackle problems actively, have a strong social network, and feel engaged in life. 

BHI is encouraging people to take a free, quick, and confidential online hearing check at www.BetterHearing.org to determine if they need a comprehensive hearing test by a hearing healthcare professional.

Research has long shown that addressing hearing loss is one of the best things you can do to improve your quality of life, says BHI, which has been studying the effects of hearing loss and hearing aids on people’s lives for decades.

Fortunately, for the vast majority of people with hearing loss, hearing aids can help. In fact, most people who currently wear hearing aids and participated in a recent BHI survey say it helps their overall ability to communicate effectively in most situations, along with having a positive effect on their relationships, work performance, ability to participate in group activities, and overall quality of life. Many also say they feel more confident and better about themselves as a result of using hearing aids.

For more information on hearing loss and to take the BHI Hearing Check, visit www.BetterHearing.org. Follow BHI on Twitter @better_hearing, and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/betterhearinginstitute

6 Compelling Reasons to Upgrade Your Thinking on Hearing Aids:

Hearing aid technology and design have undergone a sweeping transformation over the past several years, taking off in terms of what they can offer youthful-minded people eager to stay active and engaged.

The new reality is that hearing loss is part of modern life for a great number of people. It’s commonplace. But new technologies are making it easier to manage hearing loss.

Below are six compelling reasons to upgrade your thinking on hearing aids and to schedule an appointment today for a comprehensive hearing test by a hearing healthcare professional.

1. Addressing hearing health may help protect cognitive function. A new study from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University found that hearing aids may slow cognitive decline tied to hearing loss, according to Reuters. The study found that estimated 20-year rates of decline in memory and global function were greatest in participants who did not use a hearing aid. Earlier studies have linked hearing loss to dementia and cognitive issues.

2. State-of-the-art features make today’s hearing aids better than ever. Many hearing aids are virtually invisible, sitting discreetly and comfortably inside the ear canal. Many can adjust to all kinds of noise environments and pick up sound from all directions. Best of all, many are wireless. Many of today’s hearing aids can stream sound directly from your smartphone, home entertainment system, and other electronics directly into the hearing aid itself-at volumes just right for you. Some are even waterproof.

3. Using hearing aids may help unleash earning potential. BHI research has found that using hearing aids reduced the risk of income loss by 90 to 100 percent for those with milder hearing loss, and from 65 to 77 percent for those with severe to moderate hearing loss. People with untreated hearing loss can lose as much as $30,000 in income annually, the study found.

4. Many hearing aids can help mask ringing in the ears. Tinnitus affects nearly 50 million Americans and is often the result of noise exposure. It is almost always accompanied by hearing loss. The good news is that many hearing aids can help reduce the prominence of tinnitus by amplifying background sound. Just taking the focus off the tinnitus can provide relief for many people. Hearing aids also help reduce the stress associated with intensive listening, which alone can help relieve tinnitus symptoms.

5. More than 9 out of 10 of the newest hearing aid owners are happy. As many as 91 percent of all owners of the newest hearing aids-those purchased in the last year-are satisfied with their hearing aids, according to recent BHI research. When you look at just those with wireless hearing aid technology, the satisfaction rates go even higher. And just think, wireless technology seems to be getting better every year.

6. Today’s hearing aid users are giving the thumbs up to others. The vast majority of current hearing aid users say they’d recommend a hearing aid to others with hearing loss. In fact, as many as 90 percent of people who purchased their hearing aid within the last four years say they’d recommend a hearing aid to a friend or family member, according to recent BHI research.

Preliminary Economic Assessment Delivers Strong Business Case for the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project

WEST PERTH,  AUSTRALIA / ACCESSWIRE / April 21, 2015 / Heron Resources Limited (Heron or the Company) is pleased to report the completion of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Company’s 100%-owned and fully permitted Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project located in New South Wales, Australia. Highlights include:

Strong base case NPV / IRR results:

 

*Results reported using an 8.3% post tax real discount rate (approx. 10% post-tax nominal), with AUD/USD FX trending from 0.80 to 0.73 by 2021, and with flat real commodity prices of US$1.09/lb Zn, US$0.95/lb Pb, US$3.00/lb Cu, US$18.5/oz Ag and US$1,200/oz Au. Other assumptions are detailed later in this release.

Attractive project characteristics:

– Initial 11 year mine life based on underground and tailings resources, and including 1.0Mt Indicated and 2.8Mt Inferred Mineral Resource contribution from underground
– Total life-of-mine (LOM) Production Target of 353Kt of zinc, 77Kt of copper, 112Kt of lead, 8.9Moz of silver and 59Koz of gold
– Processing rate of 1.5Mtpa through standard sequential flotation, with steady state (2020-2023) annual Production Target of 51Kt of zinc, 10Kt of copper, 16Kt of lead, 1.1Moz of silver and 8.7Koz of gold contained within zinc, lead, and copper concentrates
– Utilises existing infrastructure to achieve significant reductions in development costs, with a revised portal location on the west side of the pit enabling first production from the second quarter after underground works commence

Quality resource and mine plan:

– “UG Starter Case” focused on the shallower areas of the deposit reflecting the success of the recent drilling programme – high level of confidence for extensions to the mineralisation at depth and along strike
– Based upon 36% Measured, 35% Indicated and 29% Inferred Mineral Resources, comprising:

–Woodlawn Underground Project (WUP): 32% Indicated and 68% Inferred
–Woodlawn Tailings Retreatment Project (WRP): 47% Measured, 37% Indicated and 16% Inferred

– Conservative approach taken to re-modelling of the underground Mineral Resource, with exclusion of all moderate to higher risk areas – to be reconsidered post mine access and re-assessment from underground
– Highly successful Phase I exploration drilling programme over the last 8 months – of the total underground plant feed of 1.0Mt Indicated and 2.8Mt Inferred Mineral Resources, recent exploration has contributed approximately 2.8 million new Inferred tonnes
– Low-risk underground resource base: 80% of underground tonnes in the production schedule are from areas away from previous mining

Robust economics:

– C1 costs of US$(0.01)/lb zinc and C3 of US$0.44/lb expected to place the Project firmly in the lower half of the cost curve (refer to page 10 for definitions)
– Economics remain robust using current commodity prices (forward curve adjusted), achieving a post-tax NPV8.3 of A$192 million and IRR of 34%
– Significant leverage to zinc, which comprises approximately 47% of total payable metal value

Excellent exploration potential:

– Significant exploration potential remains within the underground including additional shallow, near-surface targets that will be tested in the next stage of drilling with scope to materially increase the Production Target
– Deeper underground extensions to be targeted with underground drilling post-commissioning – management anticipates that any such depth extensions discovered have the potential to add significant project value

Expedited development path:

– Heron’s Board has committed to commence the Feasibility Study (FS) to progress the development of the Project with the objective of completing this study by mid-2016
– New drill programme to commence comprising in-fill drilling and follow up on high priority exploration targets
– Early start up potential, based on a staged development of the tailings (Front-end Engineering & Design “FEED” completed 2012) followed by the integration of underground hard rock components

IMPORTANT NOTE: A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) is a formal study in standard form prescribed by Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) which includes an economic analysis of the potential viability of Mineral Resources, but which is not a pre-feasibility study or feasibility study. In accordance with Canadian requirements in relation to preliminary economic assessments, the Company advises that the preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes some Inferred Mineral Resources considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorised as Mineral Reserves, and that there is no certainty that the economics set out in the preliminary economic assessment will be realised. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

The completed PEA study document will be published on Heron’s web site, the ASX (ASX:HRR) and SEDAR www.sedar.com (TSX:HER) within 45 days of this news release.

Heron’s Chairman, Mr. Craig Readhead, said “This PEA study confirms not only the economic viability of the Woodlawn Project, which has the potential to deliver a long term supply of zinc into a supply constrained market, but also the quality of this asset with a very competitive cost of production within the current market. The project is underpinned by a revised, high quality Mineral Resource, including the discovery of 2.8 million tonnes from recent drilling and has achieved its aim of establishing a robust resource base on which to build a new operation. The PEA study demonstrates that the approach of co-treating the low risk tailings resource with the high-grade underground resource can deliver a robust outcome and a low cost, long life, mining operation. We are now committed to advancing this project rapidly through to feasibility study stage.”

Please refer to page 12 for important Cautionary and Forward Looking Statements that are to be read in conjunction with this release.

SUMMARY OF THE PEA

Project Overview

Woodlawn is a high-grade, volcanogenic massive-sulphide (VMS) deposit situated in New South Wales, Australia, located approximately 50 km northeast of Canberra, and 250 km southwest of Sydney (refer Figure 1).

The Woodlawn Project benefits from a mining lease (SML 20) that has recently been renewed for a further 15 years, and major project approvals (statutory approval) that allows for mining operations at the Woodlawn site until 31 December 2034. The mineral rights and production are 100%-owned by Heron. Figure 2 shows the Woodlawn site layout including location of the proposed plant site.

The Woodlawn site (SML 20) is surrounded by a larger exploration license (EL 7257) which is held 100% by Heron. This exploration license, of 179 square km, includes the previous Currawang Mine located 9km to the north of Woodlawn. The Currawang Mine provided satellite feed to the previous Woodlawn operations.

Underground (WUP) Mineral Resource

Heron is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource estimate, as detailed in Table 1 below, for the Woodlawn Underground Project compiled under JORC 2012 and NI 43-101 guidelines and incorporating the results of the Phase 1 drilling programme and an extensive review of historic data. As announced on 6 March 2015, during the Phase 1 drill programme a total of 20 diamond core holes (DDH) for 7,613m and 11 reverse circulation (RC) holes for 1,201m were completed. Figure 3 provides an oblique view through the Mineral Resource block model.

Drilling focused initially on the Kate Lens before drilling key positions within the near-surface portions of other lenses. The deepest hole (WNDD0006) was drilled to a depth of 940m and intersected multiple massive sulphides in the I and D lens positions. It became apparent during the course of the program that there was scope to expand the resource base within the upper 500m of the system, deferring the need to drill deeper targets. While considerable resource potential exists in deeper parts of the system, the PEA focus has been only on the shallower, up-dip lens positions, with the result that the underground Mineral Resource used in the production schedule for the PEA extends the depth of the mine only 80m below previous workings.

Heron has taken a deliberately cautious approach to areas that would be considered remnant, which has reduced the underground Mineral Resource compared with the previously published estimate. There are numerous areas adjacent to historical mining which have been excluded from the new resource estimate, and there is considerable potential to re-incorporate these zones into the mine plan once operations are under way and underground access facilitates closer and more detailed assessment.

The Mineral Resource has been reported undiluted to a lower cut-off grade of 7% ZnEq, a value that approximates the estimated lower cut-off grade for the mining methods considered by the PEA study.

For further information please refer to the item entitled “Compliance with ASX Listing Rule 5.8.1 for updated Underground Mineral Resources” on page 13 for technical details associated with the Resource estimation process.

Notes to accompany Mineral Resource Table: 1) Please refer to the page 33 of this release for Qualified Persons statements; 2) ZnEq% refers to a calculated Zn equivalent grade the formula for which is stated in Appendix 1; Polymetallic Type refers to polymetallic massive sulphide mineralisation with high-grade Zn and Pb; Copper Type refers to Cu dominated massive and stringer sulphide mineralisation; Values are rounded to two significant numbers and some rounding related discrepancies may occur in the totals; the Mineral Resource is reported in accordance with the guidelines set out in the JORC (2012) and NI 43-101 Codes; further details of the Mineral Resources estimation can be found in Appendix 1 and in the JORC Code (2012) Table 1 Appendix 2.

Tailings (WRP) Mineral Resource

A Mineral Reserve was previously stated for the Woodlawn Tailings Retreatment Project (WRP) as part of the Bankable Feasibility Study which was completed in 2008. This PEA does not replace the WRP Feasibility Study, and the previously published tailings Mineral Reserves remain unchanged. For the purposes of the PEA, the plant design is based primarily on the 2012 FEED study design for the WRP, and adopts the processing of this tailings material in combination with underground material. 

The tailings are reported here as a Mineral Resource as part of this PEA study with Table 2, below, detailing the previously disclosed estimate. This Mineral Resource contributes some 11.2Mt (9.4Mt of Measured and Indicated and 1.8Mt of Inferred) to the total PEA plant feed as detailed in the following sections.

 

 

Notes to accompany Mineral Resource Table: 1) Please refer to the page 33 of this release for Qualified Persons statements; 2) ZnEq% refers to a calculated Zn equivalent grade the formula for which is stated in Appendix 1 and these are different to the originally reported (May 2009) ZnEq grades which were based on a different formula; 3) Values are rounded to two significant numbers and some rounded related discrepancies may occur in the totals; 4) The Mineral Resource is reported in a manner compliant with the JORC 2004 and NI 43-101 Codes. This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code (2004) in May 2009. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported. 5) TriAusMin acquired more drill hole data in 2008, subsequent to the Mineral Resource estimation. That data however does not materially alter the Mineral Resource estimate and due to data collection problems it is not viable for use in a re-estimate. Nevertheless, statistics of the later assays confirm the reported estimated grades.

PEA Scope & Plant Feed

The PEA was prepared by SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd (SRK) with contributions from GR Engineering Services Limited (GRES), other consultants and Company employees.

The Project will be developed as a combined underground project together with a tailings retreatment project, with feed processed through a single plant designed for co-treatment. The base case Plant Feed Estimate, detailed in Table 3 below, of 15Mt (“UG Starter Case”) assumes the following parameters:

– Underground tonnages above a variable 4.7 to 6.6% ZnEq cut-off grade depending on stoping method;
-Underground mining recoveries ranging from 85 to 98% depending on the stoping method and stope width;
– Underground dilution of mineralisation includes a minimum mining width of 3m and in addition dilution ranging from 9 to 20% at zero grade depending on lens location and stope width;
– Tailings tonnages above the 0% ZnEq cut-off grade;
– Tailings mining recovery based on an average expected loss of 20cm of tailings material in contact with other material; and
– Tailings dilution equivalent to 10cm average vertical gain at no grade to account for potential contamination from the original ground surface.

 

Notes to accompany Woodlawn PEA Plant Feed Estimate Table 3: 1) Please refer to the page 33 of this release for Qualified Persons statements; 2) ZnEq% refers to a calculated Zn equivalent grade, the formula for which is stated in Appendix 1. Values are rounded to two significant numbers and some rounding related discrepancies may occur in the totals.

Whilst the current Mineral Resource base forms the foundation of the PEA and will also be the starting point for the future FS, the Board is of the view that there is very strong potential for the Project to deliver significantly greater tonnages from underground based on the exploration potential of the Woodlawn mineralised system. 

Plant Design

GR Engineering Services Limited have updated the previous Woodlawn Retreatment Project Feasibility Study / FEED Study design for the 1.5Mtpa tailings processing facility to deliver a plant that has been designed on the basis of a 50% blend of fresh underground material being co-treated with 50% reclaimed tailings over life-of-mine . The design allows initial operations to treat 100% reclaimed tailings, whilst at the same time the development of the initial mine decline will be undertaken to provide access for mining of fresh material. The contribution from underground approaches 700Ktpa during the middle years of the current preliminary mine life and the mill feed blend ratio will be reviewed further in the next stage of the project studies.

For underground production, a two stage crushing circuit has been incorporated into the plant design, together with a primary grind ball mill. For tailings material, a fine grind mill is planned that reduces the particle size down to 30µm, a size which previous and current testwork confirms maximises recovery performance from the flotation circuit. For the underground material, the initial float (copper concentrate) is undertaken at a 75µm grind size, with a regrind of copper tails to 30µm being employed subsequent to that stage to maximise the recoveries from the lead and zinc flotation stages.

The flotation circuit comprises a talc, copper, lead and zinc differential flotation sequence. The overall plant design is consistent with the design of the original 1978-1998 plant that was historically used to successfully treat Woodlawn ore. Talc cleaner concentrate recovered from the talc flotation cleaner cell will be discarded to final tails to remove some of the talcose gangue ahead of the differential flotation circuit. A differential flotation circuit for copper, lead and zinc will be utilised with concentrate regrind stages in the copper, lead and zinc circuits to produce marketable copper, lead and zinc concentrates. The copper circuit will also utilise a rougher and scavenger tailings regrind circuit prior to the lead flotation stage. Tailings from the flotation plant will be thickened for recovery of process water and underground paste fill, with slime tailings deposited into a new tailings storage facility TSF4.

As outlined in the Company’s release of 11 February 2015 – “Successful Metallurgical Testwork”, the PEA metallurgical testwork program was undertaken by Australian Mineral Metallurgical Laboratories Pty Ltd (“AMML”) in their Gosford testing facility with input from GRES and focused on the underground massive sulphides at the Woodlawn Zinc-Copper Project. This work represents the first full suite of metallurgical tests undertaken on the underground mineralisation since the 1998 mine closure, and also the first tests on a combination of the tailings and fresh zinc-copper mineralisation. The overall results from this work have demonstrated better than historical operational performance and reflect the advancements made in the field of sulphide flotation, and in-particular fine grinding technology. The testwork demonstrated the ability to produce three readily saleable concentrates.

Concentrates from the copper, lead and zinc flotation circuits will be thickened and subsequently filtered for road transport. Copper and zinc concentrates will be shipped via Port Kembla in bulk carriers. Transport of the concentrate from site will be by road with concentrate loaded into half-height containers via front end loader at site. The high precious metals lead concentrates will be loaded into “bulka” bags via a bagging plant at the process plant. Loaded bags will then be containerised for dispatch via Port Botany or Port Kembla.

Final flotation tailings will be de-slimed and used in the paste fill plant which will generate a cemented paste that will be reticulated underground and used to backfill completed stopes.

Outotec has completed an initial set of testwork on the paste fill, including rheology and strength testing, using tailings samples from the recent metallurgical testing. Whilst this is sufficient for the PEA, further work will be undertaken during the FS including leachability tests, additional trial mix tests to optimise binder type and mix to deliver adequate strength to mine fill, and longer term strength and stability tests.

Underground Mining

Beck Engineering (Beck), an east coast Australia-based specialist consultancy, was engaged to assist with the rock mechanics input to the proposed underground operation. As a component of their work, the extensive historical mine records have been reviewed to better understand the ground conditions previously encountered at Woodlawn and previous ground control practices. In addition to this historical knowledge base, inspection and geotechnical logging of Kate Lens diamond drill core has led Beck to note that the hanging wall appears competent for this new lens. This competency, together with the use of competent backfill, are important input parameters for the selection of an appropriate mining method that provides for maximum recovery and high productivity.

A number of changes to historic work practices will improve the future management of the ground conditions. These include:

– Full time geotechnical resources on site to provide timely day-to-day support to mine operations;
– Whole-of-mine structural modelling to improve the predictive capacity for mine planning;
– Adoption of alternative extraction techniques to minimise creation of isolated sill pillars; and
-Implementation of cemented paste fill as a competent support medium that will enable significantly higher resource recovery whilst providing local and regional ground support to the mine excavations.

The deposit will be accessed with a box cut located on the western side of the existing open-pit, which provides for early access to underground material. Stoping areas will be accessed by rehabilitating some of the existing workings and constructing additional underground declines and levels to access the new areas.

The mining methods have been selected to mine both areas of unmined and remnant material around the previously mined areas of the deposit. The mining method selection takes into consideration the location of the existing open-pit above the deposit which is being used as a bioreactor by Veolia Environmental Services Ltd (Veolia). The mine design has assumed that stopes will be filled with paste fill, and multi-level continuous fill method areas will be filled using rock fill.

Production will be transferred from stoping areas to loading bays and a haulage fleet used to deliver plant feed to the run-of-mine (ROM) pad. 

Appendix 1 provides details of the proposed production schedule. The production schedule for the underground benefits from the inclusion of significant material discovered from the recent drilling campaigns, with approximately 2.8 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources identified from this work. Importantly, 80% of the total underground plant feed material is away from former mining areas and is amenable to low cost, low risk mining methods. Figure 4 below shows the stope designs currently planned, with stopes coloured green being material which is away from previously mined areas and hence amenable to lower cost, lower risk mining methods, with areas in orange being adjacent to previously mined areas for which more conservative mining methods have been employed.

Figure 4: PEA Stope Design (SRK)

Previous mining was undertaken to a depth of 620m below surface. The underground Resource within the production schedule for the PEA extends this by only 80m to 700m. Considerable potential remains to investigate further depth extensions to the mineralisation, which will best be assessed by underground drilling once underground access is secured.

Capital and Operating Costs

Capital costs have been estimated to a +/-25% accuracy. Tailings retreatment process plant capital costs have been updated to allow for installation of equipment sized to also accommodate the underground feed, potentially allowing a staged development of the project to be undertaken. Initial capital costs to Peak Cash Draw are estimated at A$101.4 million for the tailings components, with an incremental A$38.6 million required to complete the underground access and plant additions, for a total of A$140.0 million including contingency. Refer to Appendix 1 for full details.

Operating costs have been estimated by GRES for the plant component and by SRK for the mining component, with additional costs estimated by Heron. The detailed cost breakdown is provided in Appendix 1. The resulting cost profile for the operation based on the Production Target provides C1 costs of US$(0.01)/lb or US$(30)/tonne) of zinc in concentrate produced over the initial 11 year mine life. 

On a C3 cost basis, the operation averages costs of US$0.44/lb of zinc in concentrate.

Summary Economics

The Woodlawn project economics have been assessed using the discounted cash flow method, based on a quarterly schedule of tonnes mined and processed from both the WUP and the WRP. Capital and operating costs are applied to mining, processing and overheads. The processed material has recovery factors applied, together with flotation splits to the three concentrates which make up the project production. Shipping and logistics, product payability, treatment and refining costs, state royalties and taxes are adjusted for to derive a Net Present Value (NPV) for the project.

The Project’s post-tax NPV at an 8.3% post-tax real discount rate (approximately equivalent to a 10% post-tax nominal discount rate) is A$300 million and the IRR is 46%. Payback of start-up capital is achieved approximately 2 years from commissioning

 

(2)C1 costs calculated as total direct cash operating costs including all mining and processing costs, mine site overheads and realisation costs (including transport costs, treatment and refining costs and smelter recovery deductions) net of revenue credits from sale of by products (Pb, Cu, Ag and Au), divided by the amount of payable zinc produced.

(3)C3 is calculated using the same methodology as C1 but incorporates a capital charge and royalties.

Results are based on AUD/USD FX trending from 0.80 to 0.73 by 2021 (forward curve as at 31 March 2015). The Forecast Commodity Price Deck is based on the average of a number of forecasts for each commodity resulting in prices of US$1.09/lb Zn, US$0.95/lb Pb, US$3.00/lb Cu, US$18.5/oz Ag and US$1,200/oz Au. Other economic assumptions are detailed in Appendix 1.

For comparison, the economics are also shown using commodity forward curves which were sourced and applied as at 27 March 2015. The results demonstrate that the project economics remain robust at lower prices. Refer to Appendix 1 for more detailed sensitivity analysis.

The project is highly leveraged to commodity prices. In particular, zinc makes up around 47% of expected total payable metal value for the project. Hence the project provides excellent exposure to what is anticipated to be a market where demand will exceed supply, with positive potential implications for the future price of zinc.

Whilst the UG Starter Case presents a strongly positive economic outcome for the project and will form the basis for the future FS in order to minimise development time and costs, there is potential for the project to deliver significantly greater tonnages from underground based on both expansion of the current resource and on the broader exploration potential of the Woodlawn mineralised system.

With plant, underground access and development costs included for mining to a depth of 700 m below surface under the UG Starter Case, the incremental net present value associated with new discoveries and/or conversion of additional resource tonnes into the future mine plan has the potential to be very positive.

Exploration

Very significant exploration potential exists for the Project, with the majority of the recent drilling focused on shallow extensional targets within the underground to develop the production schedule for the PEA. Future exploration will focus on:

– Following up on additional shallow, up-dip targets which have the potential to be added in to the resource base for the underground;
– Regional targets including the Montrose, Cowley Hills and the Currawang prospects; and
– Deeper targets at the Woodlawn mine.

Project Funding Strategy

The funding strategy for the Woodlawn Project is to finance the project through a combination of debt and equity.

An early stage development concept is being evaluated which would allow construction of the plant to commence whilst the FS for the underground mine is completed. Under this staged scenario the plant would be commissioned and run on tailings only with underground feed to be introduced as soon as practicable.

Whilst the staged development option is under consideration, the Company continues to be fully funded for the forthcoming FS on the combined Project and is continuing with this work.

Forward Programme

Heron’s Board is delighted with the outcomes of the PEA and has determined that it will continue with the further study of the Woodlawn project through undertaking a FS on the combined underground and tailings project. Whilst detailed planning is under way, the Company considers that the FS could be completed within approximately 12 months.

An initial step in the FS is a further drilling program that will cover the required resource in-fill drilling as well as the testing of high priority exploration targets. The in-fill drilling is designed to lift the resource classification to permit the calculation of a Mineral Reserve as part of the FS. The high priority exploration targets include locations previously generated from downhole EM surveys, unexplained high-grade intercepts and interpreted structural positions, all of which have the potential to discover new massive sulphide lenses. The program consists of approximately 18,000 to 19,000 metres and has been approved by the Heron Board.

Cautionary Statements:

In accordance with Canadian requirements in relation to preliminary economic assessments, the Company advises that the Preliminary Economic Assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes some Inferred Mineral Resources considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorised as mineral reserves, and that there is no certainty that the economics set out in the Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realised. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

In accordance with the ASX listing rules, the Company advises the PEA referred to in this announcement is based on lower-level technical and preliminary economic assessments, and (other than in relation to the Woodlawn Tailings Retreatment Project) is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the PEA will be realised. The Production Target referred to in this announcement is partly based on Indicated Mineral Resources and on Inferred Mineral Resources detailed herein. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target or Preliminary Economic Assessment will be realised.

Forecast financial information provided in this announcement is based on the Production Target disclosed herein. The Company has concluded that it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward-looking statements included in this announcement. The detailed reasons for this conclusion are outlined throughout this announcement and in particular in Appendix 1 headed “Disclosure of Additional Assumptions”. However, the Company cautions that there is no certainty that the forecast financial information derived from the Production Targets will be realised.
