Canadian North Resources Inc. Reports Results of Borehole Geophysical Surveys Indicating Extensions of Deep Nickel-Copper-PGM Sulfide Zones at the Ferguson Lake Project

Canadian North Resources Inc. Reports Results of Borehole Geophysical Surveys Indicating Extensions of Deep Nickel-Copper-PGM Sulfide Zones at the Ferguson Lake Project

 

Canadian North Resources Inc. ("the Company", TSXV: CNRI; OTCQX: CNRSF; FSE: EO0 (E-O-zero)) is pleased to report the results from the processing of Borehole Time-Domain Electromagnetic (BHTEM) surveys from deep West Zone drillholes FL22-481A and FL23-481B completed at its 100% owned Ferguson Lake Project ("Ferguson Lake Project") in Nunavut, Canada.

 

"The combination of the drilling and geophysical survey results confirms the continuing high grade prospectivity of the West Zone down-dip for over 200 metres at depths of 650 to >850 metres," said Dr. Kaihui Yang, President and CEO of the Company, "Further geophysical modelling is ongoing to define precisely new drill targets for follow up in 2024."

 

As previously announced, the two geophysical surveyed drill holes, which were drilled from the same site during the 2022 and 2023 exploration programs, intersected excellent widths of high-grade Cu-Ni-Co-Pd-Pt massive sulphide plus additional down-hole widths of footwall low sulphide PGE type mineralized sections as presented in the table below.

 
                                                               
Hole From (m) To (m) Width (m) Cu% Ni% Co% Pd g/t Pt g/t
FL23-481B 656 666 10.0 1.48 0.48 0.06 1.28 0.06
  724.2 730.2 6.0 0.20 0.21 0.03 0.48 0.09
  797.8 808.3 10.5 0.01 0.05 0.01 0.81 0.06
FL22-481A 634.80 642.40 7.60 0.93 0.26 0.04 0.74 0.14
  750.00 755.00 5.00 0.07 0.14 0.02 0.63 0.07
  792.00 803.00 11.00 0.03 0.05 0.01 0.48 0.11
 

Spatial interpretation of the drilling results found that FL22-481A intersected the zone approximately 80 to 100 metres down-dip from historic intersections of the West Zone horizon and FL22-481B intersected 100 to 140 metres further down dip from the FL22-481A pierce points through the mineralization. In general, this extends the West Zone at this locality for greater than 200 metres further down-dip.

 

BHTEM surveys were completed on both these holes during the late summer of 2023 while the drilling program was operational. The surveys were especially configured to focus on the measurement of lateral and down-dip electromagnetic anomalies minimizing signal interference from the known up-dip main mineralized horizon.

 

Processed results indicated multiple significant electromagnetic conductors in the holes. Based upon initial interpretations, highly conductive electromagnetic responses were found associated with the first two sulphidic intersections for both holes which were found to decay to off-hole anomalies at late time-domains generating vectors to multiple centres of greater conductivity off-hole.

 

The Company also announces the retirement of Dr. Trevor Boyd as Vice President Exploration, dated December 31, 2023. The Management and Board of Directors of CNRI thank Trevor for his excellent service to the Company for 10 years and extend their best wishes to Trevor for the future. Dr. Boyd will continue serving the Company as a Technical Advisor and a Qualified Person.

Vertex Minerals Limited Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Vertex Minerals Limited Reward Gold Mine Project Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX,VTXXF) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) is pleased to announce that the underground mining operation is on track to be producing high grade gold feed to the recently commissioned gravity gold plant in the coming weeks.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- Operational Milestones

o VTX remains firmly on track to commence production of high-grade ore from the underground mine in the forthcoming weeks.

o Transformer and cabling for the installation of 11kV high voltage underground power system on site with installation commenced.

o Preparations for the underground mine startup up progressing as planned and stripping of the main access is completed.

o New Aramine L350D has departed France for the journey to Hill End. Arrival in Orange NSW expected in by 26th August where it will be fitted with an RCT remote control system for open stoping operations.

o Mining the Reward Gold Mine - Resource 225kozs at 16.7g/t (VTX ASX Announcement 21 June 2023).

o Weekly Gold production Oz's from Stockpiles improving with depth in the stockpiles, with coarser particle size and better process throughput experienced.

- Mine start up

o Fan chambers have been excavated to provide secondary ventilation for production activities, exploration drilling and the future southern access toward the Fosters' exploration target.

o Primary ventilation fan has been installed and bulkhead completed.

o High voltage surface substation has been installed.

o High voltage cabling installation commences next week, with power up of the system scheduled for 28 July 2025.

o Stripping of the main accessis completed with the final elements of ground support (approx. 30m) to be completed before power cable installation starts next week.

o Cable bolts installed for the intersection of Lady Belmore exploration drive with first cut drilled out and ready to charge.

o Development Jumbo #1 (Epiroc T1D) is exceeding performance expectations.

o Dewatered of declines well underway.

o Mine schedule for FY26 finalised.

o First airleg stope secondary vent installed and specialty equipment on site to start first air leg stope.

o First long hole stope planned for August. High grade from airleg and longhole stopes to complement larger tonnage from development ore headings.

- People that have been onboarded

o 2x Drill Fitters and Heavy diesel fitter.

o Process superintendent commences next week.

o Full Tech team started including mine surveyor this week.

o Have back-to-back airleg miners for stoping.

o Full underground and mill crews.

- Improvements to plant

o DSM screen installed to improve product delivery to Wilfley Table.

o Gemini table improvements with new tabletop and gearbox improving final concentrate grade to over 20% gold (suitable for direct smelting to Dore on site).

o Process water pump upgrade improving ore washing and Tomra performance.

- Revised mine plan and schedule completed and ready to implement

- Updated Reward Gold mine mining plan and mine schedule completed.

- Adding a high-grade long hole stope upfront to be mined concurrently with the high grade airleg stope.

Vertex Director Declan Franzmann commented: "It is great to see all the elements of re-developing the underground mine and processing facility coming together so rapidly. The most pleasing aspect is our success in employing an incredible team of people to run the operation and all credit to management for developing great "esprit de corps" and a single sense of purpose as we push to full production."

As previously announced, the startup mine schedule includes mining 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au from a developed airleg stope block. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. (Refer to Table 1 in Appendices 1) (VTX ASX announcement 26/06/23).

Given this stope will take some time to extract, the Vertex geology and Mining Team have additionally brought forward a very high-grade long hole stope to commence mining in August as well. Further optimisations to the mining schedule will continue to be made.

This stope can be exploited as soon as services have been established. The mining crews have done a great job in the access drive to make room for the services (11kV cable, water and air lines) while improving accessibility for the mobile mining equipment selected for the Project.
