Nexus Gold Acquires District Scale Gold-Nickel Project in Quebec

 

(TheNewswire)

   

  Vancouver, Canada -   TheNewswire -   September 2   7   , 2021   - Nexus Gold Corp. ("   Nexus   " or the "   Company   ") (TSXV:NXS   ) (   OTC:NXXGF   ) (   FSE:N6E)   is pleased to announce it   has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement, dated effective September 23, 2021, with Cyclone North Resources Inc. ("   Cyclone   ") and each of the shareholders of Cyclone (collectively, the "   Vendors   "), pursuant to which the Company proposes to acquire all of the outstanding share capital of Cyclone from the Vendors.  

 

  The Cyclone Project consists of a large, district-scale gold-nickel exploration project, located in the James Bay Region of northern Quebec.  Within the James Bay Region are several past / producing gold mines including Newmont's Eleonore Gold Mine, which began production in 2014.   Cyclone consists of 260 mineral claims, totalling 13,166 hectares, covering a 28-kilometer-long portion of the Aquilon Greenstone Belt.  The Aquilon Belt is a relatively newly characterized (2011) series of volcano-sedimentary rocks that hosts potential for gold and nickel/copper mineralization.  

 

  Sirios Resources has conducted several exploration programs at their Aquilon Property, located immediately to the west of the Cyclone Property, in the same greenstone belt.  Sirios' property has thirty (30) high-grade surface gold showings, including some with spectacular gold grades up to 800 grams per tonne and more (see Sirios Resources news releases September 22, 2020, and January 19, 2011).  Numerous shallow drill holes were completed on the property over the years (205 holes totaling 12,247m), with the majority of the work concentrated on four of the showings.  

 

  Historical exploration at Cyclone consists of regional-scale mapping and prospecting, as well as an airborne magnetic-electromagnetic (EM) survey.  The regional-scale mapping confirmed the mafic and ultramafic rocks, felsic volcanics and iron-formation.  During the regional-scale mapping, some of the ultramafic rocks were found to contain minor sulphide (pyrhhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite) with elevated nickel and chromium.  The EM conductors remain largely un-tested.  

 

  Two types of gold mineralization have been identified within the western part of the belt.   High grade vein-type gold mineralization found in auriferous quartz and carbonate veins hosted within felsic rock associated with felsite's and disseminated pyrite halos.  Mineralization tends to be found along a strong lineament known as the Wolfe Corridor.  And lower grade gold mineralization associated with bands of disseminated sulphides (Py-Po) with some anomalous copper and zinc values.  Large volumes of ultramafic rock at the Cyclone Property suggest there is good potential for magmatic sulphide mineralization (Ni +/- PGE's).  

 

  "This acquisitions gives our Canadian portfolio a district scale foothold in an underexplored greenstone belt, in a well established mining area," said Alex Klenman, President and CEO.  "Archean greenstones host the vast majority of gold mineralization in Canada, and the immediate area has produced some bonanza grade gold values.  We feel the ability to develop almost an entire greenstone with multiple material upside will, in time, strengthen our asset base.  We're looking   forward to working with the vendors and getting work done in the coming months," continued Mr. Klenman.

  The Cyclone Project has not yet seen any drilling, or a systematic exploration program for gold or base-metals.  At the north end of the Property, it is approximately 1.5 kilometres from an all-weather access road to the La Forge hydroelectric facility, and the all-weather Trans-Taiga Highway passes less than 1 kilometer from the south end of the Property.  

 

  The Company is at arms-length from each of Cyclone, and the Vendors. In consideration for all of the outstanding share capital of Cyclone, the Company has agreed to issue 12,000,000 common shares.  In connection with completion of the transaction, the Company does not expect to assume any material liabilities, except for a cash payment of $50,000 related to ownership of the Cyclone Project and the requirement to fund exploration expenditures of at least $125,000 on or before March 31, 2022, to maintain the Project.  The transaction will not result in the creation of a new insider, or a change of control, of the Company, within the meaning of applicable securities laws.  Completion of the transaction remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and cannot be   completed until such approval has been received.  No finder's fees or commissions are payable in connection with the transaction.  

 

  Warren Robb P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration, is the designated Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 has approved, the technical information contained in this release.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
