HIGHLIGHTS

  • Metallum and Pays Plat First Nation ("PPFN") have signed a Negotiation Agreement (the "Agreement") to advance the development of the Superior Lake Zinc Project

  • This Agreement outlines the negotiating terms for the Impact Benefit Agreement ("IBA") which is the final agreement required before mine development commences

Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire – June 14, 2022 - Metallum Resources Inc. (TSXV:MZN) ("Metallum" or the "Company") and Pays Plat First Nation ("PPFN") are proud to announce the signing of a Negotiation Agreement (the "Agreement") for the Superior Lake Zinc Project ("Project") in Ontario, Canada .

PPFN is the primary First Nation Group where the Project is located. The signing of this Agreement with PPFN is a major milestone, as it progresses regulatory approval for early-stage development works, and more importantly, outlines the timeline and key terms for the Impact Benefit Agreement ("IBA").  Both the Company and PPFN aim to have an IBA agreed and signed later this year. The IBA is a formal, written agreement that helps to manage the predicted impacts associated with an industrial development occurring on traditional lands and to secure economic benefits for neighbouring aboriginal communities affected by that development.

In addition, both the Company and PPNF jointly met with The Honourable Patty Hadju, Minister of Indigenous Services of Canada and Member of the Parliament for Thunder Bay North (the Project's jurisdiction), to discuss the Project development, indigenous involvement, and current Permitting Process.  The Company will continue to keep the market updated as these discussions progress.

Vertex Minerals Limited  Identifies Additional Gold Resources at the Reward Mine

Vertex Minerals Limited Identifies Additional Gold Resources at the Reward Mine

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) is pleased to announce that the Company's engineering and geology team at the Reward Mine have identified an additional two stope block that have not been previously reported. These stopes will be incorporated into the overall mine schedule, but provide an early source of mill feed.

HIGHLIGHTS:

- VTX's Technical Services team has identified a fully developed stope block to include in the mine production start-up.

- Stopes are suitable for airleg mining which will augment jumbo production.

- Stope blocks contains an Inferred Resource of 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au and forms part of the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate. With the lower block having over 700 tonnes at 42.5 g/t. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation.

- Stopes are additional to the PFS mine schedule which is illustrated in Figure 2* showing the location of the additional stope.

- Stope blocks are fully developed and have been sampled from development.

- This stope can be exploited as soon as services have been established.

The stopes were developed by a previous operator and are accessible from existing development. The additional stope blocks contain an Inferred Resource of 2,075 tonnes at 17.8 g/t Au containing 1,189 ounces of gold with the lower block having over 700 tonnes at 42.5 g/t. The planned stope width is the same as the interpretation of the mineralisation. These stopes forms part of the Mineral Resource Estimate reported in VTX Announcement 22 June 2023. They were not included in the production forecast detailed in the 2024 Pre-Feasibility Study (Announcement 3 January 2024). This was due to the complexity of existing airleg workings and uncertainty around access and ground conditions and wide spaced drilling which established these areas into an Inferred Resource Category.

Note: 'The Mineral Resources are additional to the Ore Reserves.'

Subsequent investigations, which included physical inspection of the levels and completing a geotechnical assessment, have concluded that the stopes are fully developed and accessible.

The quartz veins are exposed in the existing development and have been sampled. In total ninety-seven (97) face samples were taken along the stope and assayed for gold. Figure 3* illustrates the sample grades diluted to 1.5m width, which represents a minimum mining width, and the locations along the stope.

The density of sampling around the stope locations, along with accessibility adds to the confidence that the Company can successfully mine this area very early in the start-up of underground production. The Company believes the inclusion of these stopes is significant to early production, and that the stopes will be mined before the Company updates the Resource and Reserve Estimates for the Project. These samples were not used in the Resource.

The Company plans to exploit this stope once the mine services have been established and bring this stope into the initial stages of the production schedule.

Vertex's Executive Chairman, Roger Jackson commented: "Our new technical team has been established, and it is great to see them looking for the opportunities to add value to the high-grade underground production start-up.

This really does show the potential this mine has for high grade expansion. We are in the process of re-opening the underground mine with the establishment of mine services. Dewatering of the declines has commenced and is progressing to schedule."
