Kenorland Minerals Ltd. ("Kenorland ")  is pleased to announce it has entered into a purchase agreement dated June 22, 2021 (the " Purchase Agreement ") with Superior Nickel Inc. (" Superior "), a private Ontario company pursuant to which Superior will acquire a 100% interest in and to the Fox River property (the " Property "), located in the Fox River Belt, Manitoba .

As consideration for the Property, Superior will issue to Kenorland 2,665,000 common shares in its capital and will grant to Kenorland a 2% net smelter return royalty on the Property.

About the Fox River Belt and Kenorland's Fox River Property

The Fox River Belt (FRB) forms a portion of the Circum-Superior Belt in Northern Manitoba, Canada which is analogous to Manitoba's world class Thompson Nickel Belt (TNB) and the Cape Smith Belt (CSB) of Northern Quebec , host of the Ragland Nickel sulfide (NiS) deposits. Similar to the TNB and CSB, the belt is composed of sedimentary rocks intercalated with thick sequences of komatiitic basalts, and associated ultramafic intrusive rocks which formed along the margin of the Superior Craton during the Paleoproterozoic.

Within the belt, the Fox River Sill is comprised of a layered mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex. Geochemical analysis of the sill indicates the potential for economic concentrations of Platinum group element (PGE) within the belt. This is supported by areas of notable PGE occurrences and highlights the prospectivity of the sill for significant undiscovered PGE deposits. Additionally, the basin assemblages of the Superior margin are host to world-class NiS districts such as the Thompson and Raglan Nickel camps. Geochemical evidence, particularly the incorporation of sulfur (S) from rift related sediments into the mantle derived rocks of the Fox River Sill suggest the FRB to have high prospectivity for magmatic NiS deposits, like those found in the TNB and CSB.

Kenorland has applied a two-pronged approach to nickel targeting utilizing continental scale area selection coupled with high resolution geophysical direct detection of massive sulfide bodies to identify drill ready targets. This approach has led to the acquisition of Kenorland's FRB and Thompson South nickel projects (figure 1, inset). Kenorland's tenure in the FRB consists of three ~5000 hectare mineral exploration licenses (MEL), named the T-Bone, Vector and Feeder Zones. Each of Kenorland's MEL cover coincident magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) anomalies derived through geophysical inversion, re-processing and interpretation of data, which cover geology prospective for NiS and PGE mineralisation which remain untested.

Zach Flood , President and CEO, states, "This transaction represents one of the ways Kenorland is able to create shareholder value and upside through its generative efforts, which does not require significant capital expenditures through direct exploration on the ground.  We are very excited to see what Superior Nickel will discover in the Fox River Belt, a vastly under-explored, yet highly prospective geologic feature within the Circum-Superior Belt."

Multiple High Antimony Soil Anomalies Discovered at Armidale

Red Mountain Mining Limited (“RMX” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that Highly Anomalous Antimony soil assays have been confirmed at Oaky Creek, part of RMX’s 100% owned Armidale Antimony-Gold Project. A newly defined south-east trend away from the Oaky Creek North pits has been revealed, additionally a new area near Oaky Creek South has opened where up to 333pm Sb in soil has been discovered. The distribution of Antimony in the soils suggests a network across Oaky Creek, of multiple veins existing over 2.3km along the Namoi Fault and up to 400m from the fault. The supporting rock chip assays are pending and expected to be received by the end of June.

Chris Blasi: Gold Price Nowhere Near Peak, Silver a "Coiled Spring"

Chris Blasi, president of Neptune Global, believes gold still has much more room to run.

"Some people think gold has reached its peak because it's breached US$3,000 (per ounce), but I don't think we're even close," he said. "The third leg is when it delivers the greatest returns."

Hochschild Mine Halt in Brazil Triggers Share Price Drop

Shares of Hochschild Mining (LSE:HOC,OTCQX:HCHDF) plummeted more than 20 percent on Tuesday (June 10) after the company announced a six week shutdown of the processing plant at its Mara Rosa gold mine in Brazil.

In a statement, the miner blamed the issue on a combination of “heavier-than-usual seasonal rainfall” and ongoing contractor issues that have hampered access to ore, especially higher-grade material, since early this year.

The company's initial 2025 guidance for Mara Rosa was 94,000 to 104,000 ounces; however, only about 25,000 ounces had been produced by the end of May — a shortfall that has forced a downward revision in full-year guidance.

Canadian Gold Corp. Intersects Two Separate High-Grade Zones Returning 12.9 gpt Gold Over 3.0 Metres & 7.6 gpt Over 5.8 Metres Within Broad Mineralized Intervals at South Zone

Canadian Gold Corp. Intersects Two Separate High-Grade Zones Returning 12.9 gpt Gold Over 3.0 Metres & 7.6 gpt Over 5.8 Metres Within Broad Mineralized Intervals at South Zone

Canadian Gold Corp. (TSXV: CGC) ("Canadian Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce ongoing drill results from its Phase 4 drill program at the 100%-owned Tartan Mine, near Flin Flon, Manitoba. Results contained in this news release are from the South Zone, which is parallel to the Main Zone (Fig. 1, 2 & 3), and prior to the recent drilling, was planned as a supplemental source of potential ore for future production. However, our objective has been to expand the resource in this area to 1) increase the number of ounces per vertical metre, 2) allow for higher production in a potential mine restart, and 3) drive economies of scale in order to lower future production and development costs. Recent expansion results from the South Zone, which increased the vertical extent of the mineralization by 120%, included 9.4 gpt gold over 3.3 metres and 6.1 gpt gold over 6.0 metres.
