Aranjin Resources Announces Promising Drilling Results at the Sharga Copper Project

Aranjin Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARJN) (the "Company" or "Aranjin Resources") is very pleased to announce results from the recent drilling at the Sharga Copper Project ("Sharga" or "Project").

Highlights:

  • First drilling program completed with results now received for all drill holes and Phase 2 follow up drilling planned.

  • Highly encouraging early results from six initial drill holes with a best result of 15.4 meters at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g.t Gold.

  • Wide zones of VMS style (massive to semi massive sulphides) mineralization up to 100 meters in width, indicating a substantial mineralized system has been discovered at Sharga.

  • Mineralised zones intersected in drilling are open along strike and at depth and this is further confirmed by preliminary dipole-dipole IP geophysics that tested and confirmed that the mineralisation intersected in drilling is open and remains untested by drilling.

The Company has successfully drilled six diamond core drill holes for a total of 2,211 meters at the East Prospect with a best result of 15.4 meters at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g.t Gold. These early results successfully demonstrate the discovery of a substantial VMS style base metal system with high grade copper and gold at Sharga. This is very early and only a tiny fraction of the targets on the project have been drill tested. While this drill campaign was short it supports the Company's initial view that the Sharga Copper Project has strong potential for the discovery of high-grade copper gold deposits. The Phase 2 drilling program will cover a wider area and will include further drilling at the East Prospect and an additional five target areas that the company has been working on. This program is expected to commence early in 2022.

Better Drilling results included:

SH-2:

  • 54.1 meters at 0.27% Copper and 0.35g/t Gold, including 7.7 meters at 1.04g/t Gold and 2.9% Zinc

SH-3:

  • 9 meters at 0.64% Copper and 0.31g/t Gold including 1.9 meters at 2.25% Copper
  • 5.15 meters at 1.73% Copper and 0.98g/t Gold including 1 meters at 4.51% Copper and 2.33g/t Gold and 100 g/t Silver

SH-5:

  • 37.9 meters at 0.27% Copper and 0.50 g/t Gold

SH-6:

  • 15.3 meters at 0.13% Copper and 1.05g/t Gold
  • 15.4 meters at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g.t Gold, including 9 meters of 2.11% Copper and 1.02g/t Gold
  • 16 meters at 0.52% Copper and 0.86 g/t Gold

Summary of the Drill Results:

A total of five prospects were identified as a consequence of the ASTER satellite image processing and geological mapping, in the license named North, Aguit, Khar Zurai, West, and East. Strongly silicified, reddish-brown limonite-hematite rich alteration zones "gossans" were mapped at all the prospects in variable sizes and are associated with schistose textured acidic volcanic rocks as well as elevated base metals and gold.

A total of six diamond drillholes with a total of 2,211 meters were completed at the East prospect. Over 100 meter thick, pyrite dominated, massive sulfide layers were intersected in the holes demonstrating a substantial mineralized VMS system. The best intercept was achieved in the last hole drilled and included 15.4m at 1.33% Copper and 0.94g/t Gold from 315.6m in drillhole SH-6 and included 9m at 2.11% Copper and 1.02g/t Gold from 322m.

The company has completed preliminary dipole-dipole IP test survey across the East and North Prospects and confirmed that the mineralization intersected in drilling is open along the strike and at depth. Additional IP and ground magnetic geophysics and soil and rock chip geochemistry will be undertaken in the coming months.

Forte Minerals President and CEO Patrick Elliott.

Forte Minerals CEO Highlights Strategy for Prospecting, Acquiring Prolific Assets at Low Cost

Forte Minerals’ (CSE:CUAU) ability to discover and acquire exploration properties at a low cost in Peru has been largely accomplished through two strategies: seeking relinquished properties when the market is down, and employing remote sensing technology for discoveries, according to the company’s president and CEO, Patrick Elliott.

"Through low market times, we thrive on property acquisitions, deals, negotiating," he said. "It's usually around a time when other companies are relinquishing properties. A lot of the majors go through these periods whereby exploration gets the first cut. ... So we remain very flexible to be able to pick up these properties for nothing."

Elliott was commenting on the company’s recent acquisition of two properties in Peru — the Alto Ruri gold prospect and the Cerro Quillo gold-copper-molybdenum prospect — for a one-time cash payment of only US$25,000.

Copper Reserves: Top 5 Countries (Updated 2024)

Copper has become a hot topic due to its role in the green energy transition and its necessity for urbanization. However, the lack of incoming supply in the long term has experts concerned.

The term “peak copper” was coined because some experts believe that copper reserves may be diminishing; as a result, it’s prudent to know the top copper reserves by country when considering investing in the mining industry.

The Copper Development Association pegs current known worldwide copper ore resources at nearly 5.8 trillion pounds, of which only about 0.7 trillion pounds, or 12 percent, have been mined throughout history. Plus, nearly all of that mined copper is still in circulation, as the red metal’s recycling rate is higher than that of any other engineering metal.

Forum Energy Metals Corp. (TSXV: FMC) (OTCQB: FDCFF) ("Forum" or the "Company") announces it has commenced mobilization of its camp, fuel, equipment and second drill to its camp location on the Aberdeen Uranium Project, located adjacent to Orano's 133 million pound Kiggavik uranium deposit in the Thelon Basin, Nunavut. Forum plans a 10,000 metre drill program just two months away in June to follow-up on its successful drill program in 2023. Four drill holes into the Tatiggaq deposit intersected up to 2.25% U3O8 over 11.1 metres over a 200-metre strike length. The structure hosting uranium mineralization extends for 1.5 kilometres within a highly altered uranium mineralized system.

Copper Crunch Coming as Demand Rises and Mine Supply Falls Short

Since the advent of electricity, copper has played an essential role in energy generation and transmission. It will be similarly unreplaceable as the world moves away from fossil fuels to more sustainable sources of energy.

Pierre Lassonde, founder and chair emeritus of Franco-Nevada (TSX:FNV,NYSE:FNV), emphasized this during the "Where Will the Money Come From?" panel at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention.

“Copper is required for everything, and today 80 percent of terminal energy is carbon based and only 20 percent is electricity," he said. "If we want a green world, that has to be flipped around, where 80 percent of terminal energy has to be electricity. And the metal that carries electricity is copper in every which way. That is the key metal."

Avrupa Minerals CEO Paul Kuhn

Avrupa Minerals CEO Eyes Joint Ventures for VMS Projects in Europe

Avrupa Minerals (TSXV:AVU,OTC Pink:AVPMF,FWB:8AM) has achieved exploration milestones at the fully funded Alvalade copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulfide project in Portugal and the Slivova gold project in Kosovo. CEO Paul Kuhn is keen to look for potential joint ventures to advance the company's projects.

“The idea is that we start the early phases of the project," he said. "We do the early exploration and hopefully discovery, which we've done at Slivova in Kosovo and the Sesmarias (target) in Portugal, and get them to a point where they are 'venturable.'”

Joint ventures, according to Kuhn, work better by allowing Avrupa and its partners to work together and resolve any problems related to exploration.
