Outback's Ballarat West Exploration Licence has been Granted

(  CSE: OZ, OTCQB: OZBKF, FSE: S600)

Outback Goldfields Corp . (the " Company " or "Outback") (CSE: OZ) is pleased to report that the exploration license application for its Ballarat West tenement has been granted.

"Ballarat West is one of four key assets Outback has in the Victorian Goldfields.  It's a large package that is completely underexplored due to shallow cover despite the fact that over 17 million ounces of gold has been produced within 10 km of the property.  I believe Ballarat West represents an incredibly significant opportunity on our quest to find a multi-million ounce discovery." commented Craig Parry , Chairman

Ballarat West Highlights

  • Tenement comprises 44,800 hectares of underexplored, yet highly prospective rocks of the Bendigo and Stawell zones.
  • Close to the high-grade and historically prolific Ballarat and Creswick goldfields.
  • Widespread historic alluvial workings and deep leads across the tenement suggest a possible local source for gold mineralization.

Ballarat West

The 44,800 hectare Ballarat West property is underlain by prospective rocks of the Stawell and Bendigo zones, separated by the north-trending Avoca Fault. The previously defined Mitchells and Grassies targets are hosted in Ordovician aged sedimentary rocks of the Castlemaine Group and are comprised of structurally-controlled gold-bearing quartz reefs with numerous historic workings covering a strike length of at least 300 metres at Mitchells and at least 250 metres at Grassies (GeoVic; https://gsv.vic.gov.au/ ). The true extent of these mineralized structures is not presently known and represent priority targets for investigation during the upcoming exploration program. Both targets are exposed in local windows of prospective Ordovician rocks surrounded by widespread, post-mineralization cover rocks (gravels and basalts). The post-mineralization cover rocks extend to the southern boundary of the tenement where they thin and Bendigo Zone rocks dominate (Figure 1). Here, numerous quartz reef-centered historic workings are documented, associated with prominent regional-scale north-trending faults (e.g., Linton and Haddon goldfields). Another focus of the upcoming exploration program will be to investigate the northern extent of these locally mineralized faults on the Ballarat West tenement.

Next steps

The Ballarat-based technical team has begun compiling and reviewing all regional and property-scale geological, geochemical and geophysical data to better define areas of focus for exploration. Once complete, the team will focus on procuring land holder access agreements followed by a Phase 1 exploration program consisting of geological mapping, rock-chip sampling and soil geochemical surveys. These surveys will be focused along and across favorable structures that transect prospective Castlemaine Group rocks with the goal of defining drill targets. Further exploration plans will be released once budgets are set and targets are ranked and prioritised.

Community Engagement

Outback recognises the importance of open and honest community engagement in all our exploration activities.  We approach all our exploration activities in a sustainable manner and ensure our activities comply with the Victorian Code of Practice for Mineral Exploration.  As such, community consultation with local landowners has commenced.

North Bay Resources Announces Discovery of Mass Tonnage Gold Deposit up to 149m  Grading 0.95 g/t Au, Fran Gold Project, British Columbia

North Bay Resources Announces Discovery of Mass Tonnage Gold Deposit up to 149m Grading 0.95 g/t Au, Fran Gold Project, British Columbia

North Bay Resources, Inc. (the " Company " or " North Bay ") (OTC: NBRI) is pleased to announce analyses and compilation of prior exploration work at the Fran Gold Project has resulted in the discovery of a mass tonnage gold deposit. This includes review of diamond drilling in 2001, 2005, 2006, 2012, and 2018 as well as geochemical, geophysical and 3D modelling data. Past exploration and development, including over 18,000m (55,000ft.) of diamond drilling, has shown very large intercepts of up to 149m (489 feet) of 0.95 gram per ton gold. The deposit area has been identified to be in excess of 1000m x 100m x 300m within a known strike length of 1700m. This represents an exploration potential of 79,500,000 tonnes at a specific gravity of 2.65. At an average grade of 0.8 grams per tonne the current potential is 2M ounces. There is sufficient data to immediately proceed with a NI 43-101 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate . The Fran Gold Project is next to Centerra Gold's (TSX:CG) Mt. Milligan Project, with Reserves of 264Mt grading 0.3 gram per tonne gold and 0.2% copper and proximate to Artemis Gold's (TSXV:ARTG) Blackwater Mine, with Proven and Probable Reserves of 334Mt grading 0.8 grams per tonne gold. Both Mt. Milligan and the Blackwater Mine are two of the largest new mines in North America in the modern era. The Blackwater Mine has a Measured and Indicated Resource in excess of 10M ounces of gold.

B2Gold Announces TSX Approval for Normal Course Issuer Bid

B2Gold Announces TSX Approval for Normal Course Issuer Bid

B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO) (NYSE American: BTG) (" B2Gold " or the " Company ") announces that, further to the press release of the Company dated January 13, 2025 (the " Announcement PR "), the Toronto Stock Exchange (the " TSX ") has accepted the notice of B2Gold's intention to implement a normal course issuer bid (the " NCIB ").

The Company's decision to approve the NCIB is consistent with its amended shareholder return strategy outlined in the Announcement PR, and reflective of the Company's belief that the market may undervalue the common shares of B2Gold (the " Shares ") from time to time and that the Shares may trade in a price range which may not adequately reflect the value of the Shares in relation to the business, assets, and prospects of B2Gold from time to time and that purchases of Shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the Company's capital.
