Nickel Discovery at Kiabye Project

Red Mountain Mining Limited (“RMX” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that a recent infill soil sampling program with rock chip sampling at Kiabye was completed with the rock chip assays becoming available. The recent soil sampling involved the collection of 520 soil samples at 25m and 100m infill over the Kiabye South target and infill and extension sampling at the Northern anomaly and Reef 2 target at 50m spacing. At total of 11 rock chip samples were taken during the exercise with 10 taken along the Kiabye South Target.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Gossan discovery produces 1.12% Ni, 0.95% Co and 0.07% Cu from an area not previously tested for Nickel or Cobalt mineralisation.
  • The gossan is Iron and manganese rich with detectable Pt and Pd.
  • Soil gold assays highlighting a N-S magnetic feature with gold leakage points along a strike length of over 2km.
  • Soil assay results for Flicka Lake in Canada are expected shortly.

One rock chip sample (KPR065) of a gossan in the southern part of the Kiabye South Target was highly anomalous reporting strong Nickel and Cobalt results:

  • 11,222ppm Ni, 9,565ppm Co, 756ppm Cu, 95.2ppb Pd, 22.6ppb Pt and 7ppb Au

Figure 1: Gossan sample KRP065 rich in iron (24.95%) and manganese (>5%) and exhibiting a vuggy texture.

The gossan sample KPR065 resides in an area approximately 1.4km south of the historical Nickel exploration pits with no evidence onsite of previous workings. This site also sits on the south margin of a VTEM anomaly with a shallow conductive feature, see Figure 3.

The follow-up phase of rock chip and soil sampling at the Kiabye Gold Project, covers previously identified gold target areas over the central portion of the Kiabye Greenstone Belt in the Yilgarn‘s Murchison Domain, southeast of Mount Magnet. In particular, the soil sampling focused on the Kiabye South area with 25m infill sampling over a 2,500m North-South magnetic linear target where historical shallow drill (RAB) site N15 (14m) reported 1m @3.45 g/t in the last metre of the hole and is located near surface rock sample with 0.728ppm Au (RMX 5/8/2024). On the marginal extensions of the target infill sampling was conduct to complete 50m centers or e 50x100 spacings on the more marginal areas in the south. See Figure 2 for locations.

Soil gold assays highlight a N-S magnetic feature with gold leakage points and strike length of over 2km.

Two soil sampling programs were conducted for gold over several historical targets within the Kiabye Project area. The main targets were Kiabye South, Northern anomaly and Reef 2.

At Kiabye South results indicate several anomalous samples which coincide with a N- S magnetic feature, a possible demagnetized zone associated with an interpreted shear/fault zone where the anomalous gold possible represents mineralised leakage points along the structure. These points represent future drill targets to test the structure.

Harvest Gold Identifies 15 Primary And 10 Secondary Targets For Its Diamond Drill Program At Its Mosseau Project In Quebec

Harvest Gold Corporation (TSXV: HVG) (“Harvest Gold ” or the “Company ”) is pleased to announce the finalization of drill targets for its planned diamond drill program at the Company’s Mosseau Project, located in the Urban-Barry Greenstone Belt of Quebec (Figure 1).

Rick Mark, President and CEO of Harvest Gold, states: “Our geological team has done a tremendous job in compiling and collating the many datasets from the historic work of many companies in the northern area of Mosseau. They also built a new database for the central area with Harvest Gold’s 2024 air and ground programs data, captured using today’s technologies, layered over the data from historic work done sporadically. Drill permits are secured and a drill contract for a 5,000-metre program is signed. We are ready to drill.”

Walker Lane Resources Webinar Highlights Strategic Path to Discovery and Value

Walker Lane Resources (TSXV:WLR) outlined its strategy as a high-grade gold and silver explorer focused on Nevada and BC in a recent webinar hosted by the Investing News Network.

In his presentation, Walker Lane President and CEO Kevin Brewer emphasized the company’s goal of discovering and advancing quality assets, then monetizing them near their peak exploration value.

“You want to find deposits, and then you start to maximize them. You may start a PEA (and) you may complete that. But at most stages, the best thing to do is try to sell the project at that (PEA) stage, because that will be the peak value,” Brewer said.

GMV Minerals Inc. Extends Exclusive Option to Acquire Mexican Hat Mining Claims - Commissions Updated Preliminary Economic Assessment

GMV Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "GMV") (TSXV:GMV)(OTCQB:GMVMF) announces that it has elected to extend its exclusive initial five (5) year option ("Option") to purchase certain unpatented mineral claims ("Claims") located in Arizona (the "Mexican Hat Property") for an additional three (3) years by making an additional Option extension payment of US$5,000 to Hernandez Trust.

GMV's wholly owned subsidiary acquired 100% of the Mining Property Lease ( "Mining Property Lease" or "Lease") of Norman A. Pearson in the Mexican Hat Property pursuant to the terms of a mining property lease assignment agreement dated as of May 14, 2014 among GMV, Norman A. Pearson and Manuel R. Hernandez. Subsequent to the passing of Mr. Hernandez in 2019, the Claims and Lease were transferred and assigned to the Hernandez Family Trust (the "Hernandez Trust"). The Hernandez Trust and GMV entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement in respect of the Claims dated December 14, 2020, pursuant to which the Hernandez Trust granted GMV's subsidiary the exclusive initial five (5) year Option over the Claims that are the subject of the Lease by making certain quarterly option payments to Hernandez Trust.
