Searchlight Resources Completes UAV Magnetic Survey at Bootleg Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan

65 line kilometres of UAV Magnetometer survey completed
Survey highlights Henning-Maloney and Rio Gold Mine targets
Survey highlights multiple structures and additional drill targets

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2020 / Searchlight Resources Inc. ("Searchlight" or the "Company") (TSXV:SCLT)(OTC PINK:CNYCF) is pleased to present the results of an airborne UAV magnetic survey on the Company's Bootleg Lake project located in Saskatchewan, approximately 7 kilometres southwest of the Flin Flon Mining camp.

As previously announced, Searchlight commissioned Axiom Geological Group to conduct a UAV Magnetometer survey targeting two priority areas within the 49.9 sq. km Bootleg Lake claims. The survey covered a 1.53 square kilometre area surrounding Rio and Henning-Maloney past-producing gold mines with a total of 64-line kilometres of data, at 25 metre line spacing (Map 1). This work is in preparation for a 2021 drilling program at Henning-Maloney.

As part of the Magnetic data interpretation, Searchlight utilized a Grid Analysis system that analyses the texture of the potential field magnetic data to detect areas of structural complexity, which assists in the location of potential deposit occurrences. Magnetic field data delineates the geological structures and is best suited for this purpose. Grid Analysis then identifies regions of discontinuity, and analyses structural associations to locate crossings, junctions and change of direction in strike. Finally, by measuring the density of structural contacts and the diversity in the strike structures as a heat map, it facilitates picking the areas that are perceived to be prospective (Map 2).

"The survey produced high quality results with the heat map highlighting both the Rio and Henning- Maloney targets as structurally complex areas, and excellent target zones for gold exploration", stated Stephen Wallace, CEO. "The survey has also identified targets associated with the Rio fault system that warrant future follow up", he added.

Map1: UAV Magnetometer Data – Residual Magnetic Intensity (RMI)

The Henning-Maloney and Rio gold targets are located approximately one kilometre apart within the Bootleg Lake claims. These claims host 4 past producing gold mines, three of which – Henning-Maloney, Rio and Wekach – are all connected by the Rio Fault system. Additional gold and base metal targets are also present along this fault system.

Belmont Resources Receives Permit Approval For Drilling Program at A-J Gold Project, British Columbia

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2020 / Belmont Resources Ltd is pleased to announce that permit approval has been granted by the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines for drilling on the Company's A-J gold project, located in southern British Columbia. This is a five-year area-based permit covering surface exploration and drilling.

A-J Mines & Mineralized Trends

Further to receipt of the permit, the Company will undertake a 2,000-metre drilling program to test a strong coincident resistivity-chargeability anomaly situated 150 meters beneath two mineralized gold trends including the former producing Athelstan and Jackpot gold mines.

The East-West ‘A-J' mineralized trend extends over an approximate area of 240 by 1,000 metres and includes the past producing Athelstan and Jackpot gold mines which collectively produced 7,600 ozs Au & 9,000 ozs Ag (Minfile 082ESE047). The A-J Group was one of the most productive gold mines in the Greenwood mining district of southern British Columbia.

A-J Trend 3DIP Resistivity Cross Section

The second is the North-South ‘Contact' mineralized gold trend. Past trenching and sampling in this trend has identified three mineralized gold zones; J34, J12 & ‘A' Zones. Sampling has returned gold grades as high as 35.2 g/t Au over 3.0 meters (2002 chip sampling[1]).

Both mineralized trends are defined by strong resistivity anomalies. The resistivity high anomalies are interpreted as representing silica altered rock which includes quartz veining and listwanite. Listwanite is a key ultramafic rock alteration directly associated with several multi-million ounce gold deposits in Atlin, Bralorne and Barkerville districts of British Columbia as well as the Motherlode District in California

A-J Trend Chargeability Cross Section

3D-IP sections along the two trends indicate potential altered silica feeders to the two mines as well as other areas along the trends.

The resistivity anomalies are underlain at depth by a strong chargeability anomaly, measuring 800 x 1000m and at a depth of approximately 150m below the two mineralized trends.

On surface, disseminated sulfides occur within dykes and tongues of altered porphyritic intrusive that both cut and underlie the north-dipping band of listwanite.

A-J Trend Coincident Chargeability-Resistivity Anomaly

The large chargeability anomaly may reflect important mineralization within a large intrusive body and could be the causative source of mineralization at surface.

George Sookochoff, President & CEO commented "The historic gold miners have mined an extensive amount of gold and silver from relatively shallow underground mines. Our recent LIDAR, magnetic and 3D-IP surveys have delineated a large target 150m below their mines which may be the source of gold they mined at surface."

"But ultimately drilling will tell and that's what we are now prepared to do!"

About Belmont Resources Inc.

Belmont Resources is a junior mining company engaged in the business of acquiring past producing gold-copper mineral properties located in the highly prospective Greenwood-Republic mining camps. Belmont is utilizing new exploration technology as well as new geological modelling to identify gold-copper mineralized feeder systems to the relatively shallow historic mines.

The Company's project portfolio includes:

– Athelstan & Jackpot Gold mines (Athelstan-Jackpot property – 100%)

– Bertha & Pathfinder Gold-Silver mines (Pathfinder property – 100%).

– Betts Copper-Gold mine (Come By Chance property – 100%)

– Lone Star Copper-Gold mine (Lone Star Property – LOI)

Commerce Resources Corp. Produces Additional >98% CaF2 Samples from the Ashram Deposit, Quebec

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2020 / Commerce Resources Corp. (TSXV:CCE)(FSE:D7H0) (the "Company" or "Commerce") is pleased to announce that it has produced additional samples of acid-grade fluorspar concentrate from the Ashram Rare Earth and Fluorspar Deposit, Quebec. The test work on fluorspar recovery is being carried out by Hazen Research, CO, USA, which is also developing the primary rare earth element (REE) recovery flowsheet.

Previous test work has demonstrated the ability to achieve fluorspar grades as high as 98% CaF2, as well as standard specifications for SiO2, Al2O3, Cl, Be, Cd, Pb, As, and Hg (see news releases dated February 28th and September 24th, 2020). The Company is pleased to report that the recent bench test work has produced additional acid-grade samples >98% CaF2. The results demonstrate that acid-grade fluorspar can be produced from Ashram Deposit material, where the starting head-grade is ~7.5% CaF2.

The specifications and impurity tolerances in the acid-spar industry may vary widely depending on the final application; however, a key requirement to obtain is the CaF2 purity – typically >97%. Based on the bench level test work completed to date, the Company is confident that it can attain this base level purity of ~97% CaF2, as well as other key specifications, that will allow for a marketable product to a variety of end-users and associated applications.

There are currently two flowsheet approaches being advanced to produce acid-grade fluorspar from the Ashram Deposit, with the results herein produced using a front-end flotation/leach/magnetic process. An alternative approach is also being developed which uses the tailings stream from the primary REE concentrate, where the fluorspar passively upgrades throughout the REE processing circuit. In both cases, the recovery of fluorspar from the Ashram Deposit has been approached as a secondary objective to the primary REE recovery. Further, depending on the approach for fluorspar recovery, impurity removal may also increase overall REE recovery in the flowsheet.

In addition to being one of the largest rare earth deposits globally, the Ashram Deposit is also one of the largest fluorspar deposits globally. The production of REEs and fluorspar are currently dominated by China, placing Ashram in a unique position to potentially address the supply concerns of these two critical commodities. Both REEs and fluorspar are considered critical / strategic commodities by the US Department of the Interior, the European Union, and the Province of Quebec, Canada.

Fluorspar Market

Fluorspar (CaF2) is an essential raw material to the steel, aluminum, and chemical industries in two marketable products; acid spar grade and met spar grade.

Acid-spar (>97% CaF2), accounting for roughly sixty percent of the market, is primarily used to synthesise hydrofluoric acid (HF) and subsequent fluorochemicals, and in the production of aluminum metal, to reduce process temperatures and energy consumption. It is also a key raw ingredient of materials used in enhancing the operational performance of lithium-ion batteries.

Met-spar (>60% CaF2), accounting for roughly forty percent of the global fluorspar market, is primarily used as a flux in the steel making process to lower the melting temperature, to reduce slag viscosity, and remove impurities.

Similar to the prevailing dynamics for rare earth elements, China was historically the largest exporter of fluorspar. However, in the last 3 years, China has become a net importer. This has caused significant price appreciation for fluorspar, and market interest from industry in new sources.

Eco (Atlantic) Oil and Gas Ltd Announces Eco Re-issued all Namibia Offshore Licenses

Increases its sizeable strategic position in sought after frontier exploration region

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2020 / Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd. (AIM:ECO)(TSXV:EOG), an oil and gas exploration company with licences in highly prospective regions in Guyana and Namibia, has successfully negotiated the reissuance of its four licences in the Walvis Basin, Offshore Namibia conditional to customary final government signature. The Company has agreed terms and conditions and been awarded the four new Petroleum Exploration Licenses ("PEL's") on its existing offshore blocks, leading to the expansion of its acreage position:

 

Licence

Size of acreage

Block reference

Licence ownership

Controlling interest

Cooper

5,788 Km2

Block 2012A

54.3% WI

Operator

Sharon

5,700 Km2

Operator

 

Eco has negotiated the reissuance and establishment of a new 10-year life cycle for each of the four PEL's. Each license has a participation of a standard 10% Working Interest ("WI") with NAMCOR, Namibia's National Petroleum Corporation and in keeping with the Company's support of local interests, Eco has negotiated and established a 5% WI with local Namibian business partners on each block. Azinam Group also participates in a minority capacity on the Cooper, Sharon and Guy Blocks.

With the establishment of the new PEL's, the Company has doubled the size of its Guy block acreage, increasing the potential for new prospective targets in the deeper horizon to the West of the block. The new PELs cover approximately 28,593 km2, with over 2.362 Billion BOE of prospective P50 resources.

Gil Holzman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Eco Atlantic, commented:

"Successfully renegotiating our four licences offshore Namibia and being awarded over 28,500 km2 in one of the most exciting exploration hotspots in the world is a significant milestone for Eco. Participation in the regional exploration with a number of the major IOCs now in Namibia, and having the Namibia Ministry of Mines and Energy acknowledge both our long term investment and our contribution to the fundamental exploration of the region, is very meaningful, both for us as a business and an explorer.

"Eco has made a significant investment in these offshore blocks in the Walvis Basin to date and we have been able to increase our already substantial footprint (now the second largest after ExxonMobil) in a highly prospective region that has attracted the interest of a number of the major IOCs.

"The recent wildcat discoveries in South Africa and the entry into Namibia by ExxonMobil, Total, Qatar Petroleum and Shell over the last few years give us significant confidence that further discoveries will soon be made in Namibia. Near term, we look forward to drilling campaigns planned by Total, Shell, M&P, and ExxonMobil. These companies are amongst the leading oil finders in the world. The new licenses represent a strategic value creation opportunity for Eco Atlantic, amid the increased interest in the area."

Colin Kinley Chief Operating Officer of Eco Atlantic Commented:

"We have demonstrated our capacity at Eco, through our opportunistic negotiations and deal flow, to maintain a path for growth while protecting both our strong balance sheet and our resources. The new exploration life cycle which we have and our well thought out exploration and de-risking strategy supports both our stakeholders and the people of Namibia.

"Like Namibia, in Guyana our path remains unaltered. We defined the opportunity, negotiated the Orinduik Licence and brought in material partners for both their technical and economic contribution, and we have carefully maintained our independence and ability to drive through to drilling without being anchored by partners budget or ambitions. In all our agreements, we maintain optionality and our own ability to drive the process. As the majority stakeholder and controlling interest in all of our Namibian blocks, we welcome leading-edge exploration partners to bring their contribution to our ultimate ambition of discovery in the country, while also maintaining our strong independent business values.

"We very much appreciate the support of the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy and our partners and we look forward to keeping all our stakeholders appraised of developments over the coming months."

Share placement raises £4 million
Appointment of joint broker
Drilling commenced in Colombia

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / November 30, 2020 / Orosur Mining Inc. ("Orosur" or the "Company") (TSX:OMI)(AIM:OMI), announces that it has raised the sum of £4 million (before expenses) through an oversubscribed placing of 23,529,412 new common shares of no par value ("Placing Shares" or "New Common Shares") at a price of 17 pence per Placing Share ("Placing Price"), together with a grant of one unlisted warrant ("Warrant") for every two Placing Shares subscribed for (together the "Placing"). Completion of the Placing is subject amongst other things to admission of the New Common Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission").

The net proceeds of the Placing will be used to fund the general working capital of the Company, to strengthen the Company's position in relation to the Anzá project and to allow the Company to evaluate and potentially pursue other attractive exploration projects.

Details of the Placing

The Placing Price represents a discount of approximately 22 per cent. to the 5 day VWAP of the common shares up to and including 27 November 2020, and a discount of approximately 30 per cent to the closing mid-market price of 24.5 pence per common share on 27 November 2020, being the last trading day prior to the release of this announcement of the Placing.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, represent approximately 14.4 per cent of the existing common shares and will represent approximately 12.6 per cent. of the enlarged share capital of the Company.

Appointment of Joint Broker

The Placing was undertaken by Turner Pope Investments (TPI) Ltd ("Turner Pope or TPI"), which has been appointed as Joint Broker to the Company.

Placing Agreement, Admission and Total Voting Rights

The Company and Turner Pope have entered into a placing agreement ("Placing Agreement") pursuant to which Turner Pope agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to procure placees pursuant to the Placing. The Placing Agreement contains certain warranties and indemnities given by the Company in favour of Turner Pope. It also contains provisions entitling Turner Pope to terminate the Placing Agreement prior to Admission if, among other things, a breach of any of the warranties occurs.

Completion of the Placing is subject amongst other things to the 23,529,412 New Common Shares being admitted to trading on AIM and is also conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects and not being terminated in accordance with its terms. Application will be made for Admission. It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00am (GMT) on or around 7 December 2020. The Company has relied upon the exemption described in Section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual with respect to TSX private placement rules since the Company qualifies as an Eligible Interlisted Issuer.

Following the issue of the 23,529,412 New Common Shares, which on Admission will rank pari passu with the existing common shares, the total number of common shares in issue with voting rights in the Company will be 187,058,753.

The above figure of 187,058,753 common shares may therefore be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they may determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Principal Terms of the Warrants

The Warrants are constituted pursuant to a Warrant Indenture to be entered into between the Computershare Trust Company of Canada and the Company.

The principal terms of the Warrants are as follows:

a) a holder of Warrants (a "Warrantholder") will have the right at any time prior to 7 December 2022 upon written notice to subscribe for new common shares on the basis of one new common share for each Warrant held, at 25.5 pence per new common share;

b) the Warrants will not be listed or admitted to trading on any exchange, including without limitation AIM or TSX; and

c) the subscription rights under the Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of various corporate actions affecting the share capital of the Company.

As previously announced on 10 November 2020, the first drilling rig had arrived on site at the Anzá project and planning was underway to commence drilling as soon as possible.

The Company is pleased to announce that drilling at the Anzá project commenced as planned on 15 November 2020 and is progressing well.

A second drilling rig has now arrived on site and once the required logistical requirements are fully in place, it is anticipated that this rig will commence operation within the next seven days.

Orosur CEO Brad George commented:

"We are pleased and excited by the positive response from the investment community, as testament to how well the Anzá project is viewed. This oversubscribed placement strengthens our balance sheet and will allow us to sustain our position with respect to the Anzá JV for some considerable time as the current drilling program ramps up and continues into 2021."
