VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2017 / CopperBank Resources Corp. (“CopperBank” or the “Company”) (CSE: CBK) is pleased to announce that the Company has agreed to amend the terms of its option agreement with a subsidiary of Antofagasta plc (Antofagasta) (LSE: ANTO), with respect to the Pyramid Copper Project dated March 4, 2014.

Under the terms of the amendment, CopperBank will no longer be obligated to make a US $3,000,000 “First Assignment Payment” to Antofagasta on or before March 4, 2019, or, a US $2,500,000 “Second Assignment Payment” upon the completion of a positive, bankable Feasibility Study on the project.

The amended payment terms effective the date of this press release are:

CopperBank will pay to Antofagasta the cash amount of US $150,000 by March 4, 2019;
CopperBank will issue to Antofagasta 1,000,000 common shares of CopperBank by March 4, 2019;
upon the occurrence of a construction decision in respect of the Pyramid Copper Project, CopperBank will pay to Antofagasta the cash amount of US $5,500,000; and
upon commencement of commercial production in respect of the Pyramid Copper Project, CopperBank will pay to Antofagasta the cash amount of US $2,500,000.

The terms of this amendment agreement pertain only to the Pyramid Copper Project. There are no future milestone payments to be made to Antofagasta regarding the San Diego Bay prospect, 7 kilometres West of Pyramid.
A detailed map of the sections that are subject to the above amendment conditions can be found on the company website www.copperbankcorp.com.

CopperBank’s Executive Chairman comments, “The amendment is an important milestone for our company. We can now allocate future budgets towards meaningful work programs on the projects as the substantive portions of outstanding payments only occur after full project advancement, namely all the way until a major production decision has been established at Pyramid. It is also important that the San Diego Bay prospect is entirely separated from the construction decision payment at Pyramid, enabling our team to move San Diego Bay forward with potential partners.”

About Pyramid

The Pyramid deposit is a copper-molybdenum-gold exploration project where CopperBank has an option to earn a 100% interest. The project is located on private property with the subsurface controlled by The Aleut Corporation, an Alaska Native-owned corporation. Applying a 0.4% copper cut-off, Pyramid has an historic (SRK, July 2013) NI 43-101 Resource Estimate with inferred mineral resources of 122 million tonnes at 0.41% copper, 0.02% molybdenum, and 0.10 g/t gold. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources.

About San Diego Bay

The San Diego Bay prospect is typified by an extensive 40 square kilometre area of strong hydrothermal alteration and intrusive rocks, consistent with porphyry systems such as the adjacent Pyramid deposit. All porphyry alteration facies have been observed, including zones of potassic, advanced argillic, phyllic and pyrite zones; previous landsat imagery has identified widespread zones of high-temperature clay alteration. Strongly anomalous precious and base metal values were collected by previous operators; an important consideration for exploration is that the adjacent Pyramid deposit hosts a leach cap of 10 to 100 meters in thickness, and underlain by a supergene enrichment blanket. Cobbles of copper oxide mineralization have been identified by local Aleut shareholders on beaches adjacent to the alteration zone. Interpretations suggest that San Diego Bay may represent overlapping hydrothermal systems, including potential lithocaps. San Diego Bay represents a Tier-1 sized porphyry target with an excellent location.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2017 / Renaissance Gold Inc. (TSX-V: REN) (“RenGold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Kinetic Gold (US) Inc. has signed a definitive agreement with S2 Resources Ltd. (ASX: S2R) through its subsidiary Nevada Star Resources LLC. The agreement grants S2 the option to acquire a 70% interest in the South Roberts, Pluto and Ecru projects located in Nevada. S2 must spend US$3,000,000 per project over a 5-year period to earn a 70% interest, with a committed expenditure of US$200,000 per project by the 2nd anniversary of the agreement. Upon signing the definitive agreement S2 paid the Company US$75,000.

South Roberts Project: The South Roberts Project, Eureka County, Nevada lies on the Battle Mountain-Eureka trend of world class gold deposits. The project lies under shallow pediment along the western margin of the northern Nevada rift in a very similar setting to Barrick’s Goldrush deposit to the north. Targets are defined along a major NW gravity break with coincident Carlin-suite geochemistry over a strike length of more than 3 miles. A first pass, 6-hole drilling program conducted in 2014 confirmed shallow depths to Paleozoic bedrock and widespread anomalous gold and Carlin pathfinders, which have not yet been followed up. The 2014 drill holes were very widely spaced (approximately 1 km apart), and significant targets remain untested.

Pluto Project: The Pluto project, Lander County, Nevada lies along the north-south “Rabbit Trend” of gold deposits. High grade gold up to 13.1 g Au/t occurs in an isolated outcrop of Havallah Sequence rocks exposed in a structural window through Tertiary volcanic rocks. Detailed gravity and soil geochemistry define a multi-element anomaly occurring mostly within a NE trending horst block. The highly prospective Antler sequence rocks, which host world class deposits in the Battle Mountain district 60 miles to the north, are modelled to occur at shallow to moderate depths beneath this high-grade outcrop. The magnitude of the gold grades in the Havallah outcrop is quite unique in Nevada and could represent leakage above a potentially very robust gold system. This target has never been drilled.

Ecru Project: The Ecru project, Lander County, Nevada lies on the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend in the Cortez district, near the Gold Acres, Pipeline and Cortez Hills gold deposits. The project is centered on a large gravity high, interpreted to represent an upthrown block of favorable lower plate carbonate rocks, which host the nearby world class gold deposits. Historic drilling on adjacent parts of the same gravity high have yielded significant mineralization in both upper and lower plate rocks and have included grades in excess of 1oz. Au/t. Several undrilled target areas exist on and around this gravity feature which have the potential to host a significant discovery.

Robert Felder, President states “We are extremely pleased to have a group of the caliber of S2 as our exploration partner on these three projects in Nevada. They have demonstrated their technical capabilities with past successes and have chosen Renaissance as a partner to work with in Nevada. We look forward to a very productive and successful relationship. This agreement advances our portfolio from having 8 to now 11 of our projects in earn-in or option agreements.”

RALEIGH, NC / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2017 / Next week, a select group of scientists, engineers, industry researchers, environmental health specialists, national security experts, and philanthropy executives will meet in Raleigh for a two-day conference to explore the potential future uses of a massive new database of chemical information.

Their goal: envision what the world might do with this new open source database, a “genome” of industrial chemicals and materials- the essential building blocks of everything humans have created and engineered.

They describe their work as building an elaborate “map” of how industry, worldwide, utilizes approximately 100,000 Lego®-like bits of chemicals and materials to create all our consumer, industrial and military products. Experts say the project has the potential to support innovative new industrial processes, epidemiology, maternal and child health, earth systems science, basic energy science, and climate science.

The project was awarded the 2017 Innovation in Smart Chemistry Award, attracting the interest of major corporations, public policy makers, and the philanthropic community.

A new nonprofit, The Environmental Genome Initiative, has been formed to organize the project, create new support for an international effort to complete the mapping work, and to administer the database of information. To date, over 1600 detailed chemical manufacturing processes and plants have been studied. This work led to the Environmental Genome discovery that has piqued the interest of the scientific community when it was revealed in a paper published by Dr. Michael Overcash in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Green Chemistry Journal in March 2016.

The successful completion of the Human Genome Project has allowed researchers to understand the blueprint for building a person, and use that knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and in drug development. The Environmental Genome Initiative promises to create a new ability to visualize and study the genomic structure of all chemical building blocks-from their origins in the earth, to their manufacture, to how these enter our environment to cause potential human health impacts.

As the conference participants work together to understand the future potential of the completed database, they will consider what exciting new discoveries and important new fields of study might be created through the development and application of powerful analytic tools to fully access and understand the data.
