Aurania Provides Update on Drilling at Tsenken and Tiria-Shimpia Targets

Aurania Provides Update on Drilling at Tsenken and Tiria-Shimpia Targets

 

Toronto, Ontario, August 19, 2021 – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (Frankfurt: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) reports that drilling at the Tsenken N1 target has intersected sediment-hosted copper mineralization visible over approximately 2 metres (“m”) and has also intersected salt, a key element of sediment-hosted copper mineralized systems.  Scout drilling continues for sediment-hosted copper at Tsenken N1 and for silver-zinc at Tiria-Shimpia in the Company’s Lost Cities – Cutucu Project (“Project”) in southeastern Ecuador.

Aurania’s Chairman and CEO, Dr. Keith Barron commented, “We recognized early on that the copper-silver within the Project is of Kupferschiefer style, and this was confirmed by Professor Gregor Borg, an international expert on the subject.  Essentially, what we have are multiple levels of sandstone with organic plant material which is now carbon in the Jurassic-aged Chapiza Formation.  This geological formation is mostly comprised of “red bed” sediments and is analogous to the Rotliegendes (in German “underlying red”) found beneath the Kupferschiefer in Poland and Germany.  The carbon in the Chapiza has acted as a chemical reductant, causing the dissolved copper to fall out of solution where oxidized, copper-charged groundwaters come in contact with the carbon.  At this point we still do not know the grade and thickness of these copper and silver mineralized carbon beds, nor how many individual stacked beds occur on our concessions.  We do know through mapping that we are dealing with multiple beds. A presentation of key concepts will be made available shortly on Aurania’s website at www.aurania.com.”

Tsenken N1

Drill hole TSN1-007, which is still underway, intersected approximately 2m of bleached sandstone, composed of volcanic fragments, that contains disseminated copper mineralization in the form of green malachite (Cu2CO3(OH)2) and black tenorite (CuO).  The volcanic sandstone contains carbonized plant fragments similar to the mineralized sandstone found at surface.  The mineralized interval has been sampled and the samples have been delivered to the lab in Cuenca in central Ecuador for preparation before despatch to Vancouver for analysis.  The intercept is at 157m down-hole and approximately 80m below surface (Figure 1).

Drill hole TSN1-006 ended in salt, which was intersected at a depth down-hole of about 600m, a little higher in the geological profile than anticipated (see Figure 2 in press release dated July 21, 2021).

Six drill holes have been completed for a total of 1859m and hole TSN1-007 is currently at a depth of approximately 350m.

Figure 1.  Vertical profile interpretation through the Tsenken N1 area showing the location of drill holes 1, 2 and 3 that tested for sediment-hosted copper-silver in red-beds beneath a lava seal.  Hole TSN1-006 intersected salt and hole TSN1-007 is testing for expected sediment-hosted copper in a similar position in the sedimentary layering as the silver-zinc mineralization at Tiria-Shimpia is located.  The fault system shown in red is suspected to have fed copper into the sediments in a similar way that it did zinc-silver into the Tiria-Shimpia area.  (Evap. is evaporite (salt) and Int. is intrusive such as a porphyry). 

Drilling at Tiria-Shimpia

Two drill holes have been completed at Tiria-Shimpia for a total of 762m, and hole SH-003 is underway at approximately 300m depth.  Weak silver-zinc mineralization was intersected in 7 sedimentary layers in hole SH-001 and results are awaited from hole 2.

Dogecoin Group Works to Give Currency Greater Purpose

“Do Only Good Every Day” – Guiding Purpose of Doge Manifesto

 

Does your crypto have ambassadors? New leadership decided not to let the long-sleeping Dogecoin Foundation lie. It just announced a new team of leaders, including some big names in the space that have signed a manifesto designed to give the digital coin greater purpose.

What is the Dogecoin
Foundation?

The original Dogecoin Foundation (DF), was a nonprofit founded in 2014 with the goal of supporting the cryptocurrency by providing advocacy and trademark protections. It was dissolved years ago — A new incarnation was announced this week (8/17), and it has very lofty objectives for the brand and Doge movement. In the announcement, it was stated DF would be reestablishing itself to support the Dogecoin community and promote the future of blockchain. It mentioned new projects in the coming weeks to encourage the adoption and usefulness of DOGE “that increase Dogecoin uptake at a grassroots level.”

In order to allay fears, DF also made this clear: “The Foundation holds the Dogecoin mark and the Dogecoin Logo and will maintain them for the community,”  “…this will mean the foundation can continue to protect the Dogecoin Brand and allow (under a very liberal license) the ability to use it for Dogecoin-related memes, projects, and fun. — We’ve got your back on this one.”

The foundation members, have all signed a Dogecoin Manifesto and welcome others to add their “signature” of acceptance as well. The manifesto relays four objectives against which to make decisions, they are:

Dogecoin Ecosystem Growth

The DF says it is also looking to the future of the broader Dogecoin ecosystem. In the coming weeks, it expects to be announcing new projects designed to complement the current Core Wallet and enable faster integration and easier APIs for Financial, Social and Charitable projects wishing to use Dogecoin. The announcement reads, “We believe that the success of Dogecoin is through broad global adoption and utility, and intend to focus on projects that increase Dogecoin uptake at a grassroots level.”

 

 

Participating in the foundation at various levels is the sometimes Doge-loving Elon Musk, also co-creator of the currency Billy Markus, Vitalik Buterin from Ethereum, and the financial advisor to Elon Musk, Jare Bitchall. The new Foundation trustees consist of five current Dogecoin developers and digital-community veterans, Jens Wiechers, Gary Lachance, Michi Lumin, Ross Nicoll, and Timothy Stebbing.

 

Take-Away

The cryptocurrency that began the year below a penny, usually grabbing most of its attention through memes and even some Elon Musk tweets, has a foundation driving a more solid purpose for the currency. Currently exchanged at $0.305 many speculators have watched their gamble transform from an awkward little puppy to having much greater teeth. It would seem with the support and direction provided by this new foundation, that Dogecoin may become one of the stronger survivors over time.

Release – Great Bear Begins Phase 2 Drilling at Dixie Project

Posted on by Admin


Great Bear Begins Phase 2 Drilling at Dixie Project

 

August 19, 2021 – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Great Bear Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Great Bear”, TSX-V: GBR; OTCQX: GTBAF) today provides an update regarding its ongoing fully funded $45 million 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

Significant improvements in the forest fire situation in Northwestern Ontario have allowed the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) of Ontario to remove a work suspension order which was originally issued on July 21st, which had restricted industrial activities over a large area of the Province.  With the work suspension rescinded on August 18th,  Great Bear will now commence Phase 2 drilling, consisting of:

  1. Ongoing expansion drilling of the LP Fault below 450 metres depth, and along strike beyond the 4 kilometre long Phase 1 grid drilling area,
  2. Any additional infill drilling of the Phase 1 LP Fault grid drilling area that may be required,
  3. Expansion and infill drilling of the Hinge, Limb and Arrow zones, and
  4. Testing of new regional targets at Dixie.

Drills are expected to be active on the Dixie property as of Monday, August 23rd.

 

About the Dixie Project

The Dixie Project is 100% owned, comprised of 9,140 hectares of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres, and is located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario. The project is accessible year-round via a 15 minute drive on a paved highway which runs the length of the northern claim boundary and a network of well-maintained logging roads.

The Dixie Project hosts two principal styles of gold mineralization:

  • High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge and Arrow zones). Hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and localized near regional-scale D2 fold axes.  These mineralization styles are also typical of the significant mined deposits of the Red Lake district.
  • High-grade disseminated gold with broad moderate to lower grade envelopes (LP Fault).  The LP Fault is a significant gold-hosting structure which has been seismically imaged to extend to 14 kilometres depth (Zeng and Calvert, 2006), and has been interpreted by Great Bear to have up to 18 kilometres of strike length on the Dixie property.  High-grade gold mineralization is controlled by structural and geological contacts, and moderate to lower-grade disseminated gold surrounds and flanks the high-grade intervals.  The dominant gold-hosting stratigraphy consists of felsic sediments and volcanic units.

 

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a well-financed gold exploration company managed by a team with a track record of success in mineral exploration.  Great Bear is focused in the prolific Red Lake gold district in northwest Ontario, where the company controls over 200 km2 of highly prospective tenure across 4 projects, all 100% owned: The flagship Dixie Project, the Pakwash Property, the Sobel Property, and the Red Lake North Property, all of which are accessible year-round through existing roads.

Great Bear Begins Phase 2 Drilling at Dixie Project

 

August 19, 2021 – Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Great Bear Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Great Bear”, TSX-V: GBR; OTCQX: GTBAF) today provides an update regarding its ongoing fully funded $45 million 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

Significant improvements in the forest fire situation in Northwestern Ontario have allowed the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) of Ontario to remove a work suspension order which was originally issued on July 21st, which had restricted industrial activities over a large area of the Province.  With the work suspension rescinded on August 18th,  Great Bear will now commence Phase 2 drilling, consisting of:

  1. Ongoing expansion drilling of the LP Fault below 450 metres depth, and along strike beyond the 4 kilometre long Phase 1 grid drilling area,
  2. Any additional infill drilling of the Phase 1 LP Fault grid drilling area that may be required,
  3. Expansion and infill drilling of the Hinge, Limb and Arrow zones, and
  4. Testing of new regional targets at Dixie.

Drills are expected to be active on the Dixie property as of Monday, August 23rd.

 

About the Dixie Project

The Dixie Project is 100% owned, comprised of 9,140 hectares of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres, and is located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario. The project is accessible year-round via a 15 minute drive on a paved highway which runs the length of the northern claim boundary and a network of well-maintained logging roads.

The Dixie Project hosts two principal styles of gold mineralization:

  • High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge and Arrow zones). Hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and localized near regional-scale D2 fold axes.  These mineralization styles are also typical of the significant mined deposits of the Red Lake district.
  • High-grade disseminated gold with broad moderate to lower grade envelopes (LP Fault).  The LP Fault is a significant gold-hosting structure which has been seismically imaged to extend to 14 kilometres depth (Zeng and Calvert, 2006), and has been interpreted by Great Bear to have up to 18 kilometres of strike length on the Dixie property.  High-grade gold mineralization is controlled by structural and geological contacts, and moderate to lower-grade disseminated gold surrounds and flanks the high-grade intervals.  The dominant gold-hosting stratigraphy consists of felsic sediments and volcanic units.

 

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a well-financed gold exploration company managed by a team with a track record of success in mineral exploration.  Great Bear is focused in the prolific Red Lake gold district in northwest Ontario, where the company controls over 200 km2 of highly prospective tenure across 4 projects, all 100% owned: The flagship Dixie Project, the Pakwash Property, the Sobel Property, and the Red Lake North Property, all of which are accessible year-round through existing roads.

Designing Shape Changing Strong Materials

Posted on by Admin


Fish Fins Are Teaching Us the Secret to Flexible Robots and New Shape-Changing Materials

 

Segmented hinges in the long, thin bones of fish fins are critical to the incredible mechanical properties of fins, and this design could inspire improved underwater propulsion systems, new robotic materials, and even new aircraft designs.

Fins are not simple membranes that fish flap right and left for propulsion. They probably represent one of the most elegant ways to interact with water. Fins are flexible enough to morph into a wide variety of shapes, yet they are stiff enough to push water without collapsing.

The secret is in the structure: Most fish have rays – long, bony spikes that stiffen the thin membranes of collagen that make up their fins. Each of these rays is made of two stiff rows of small bone segments surrounding a softer inner layer. Biologists have long known that fish can change the shape of their fins using muscles and tendons that push or pull on the base of each ray, but very little research has been done looking specifically at the mechanical benefits of the segmented structure.

To study the mechanical properties of segmented rays, my colleagues and I used theoretical models and 3D-printed fins to compare segmented rays with rays made of a non-segmented flexible material.

We showed that the numerous small, bony segments act as hinge points, making it easy to flex the two bony rows in the ray side to side. This flexibility allows the muscles and tendons at the base of rays to morph a fin using minimal amounts of force. Meanwhile, the hinge design makes it hard to deform the ray along its length. This prevents fins from collapsing when they are subjected to the pressure of water during swimming. In our 3D-printed rays, the segmented designs were four times easier to morph than continuous designs while maintaining the same stiffness.

 

The segmented nature of fish fin rays allows them to be easily morphed by pulling at the bottom of the ray. Francois Barthelat

 

Why it Matters

Morphing materials – materials whose shape can be changed – come in two varieties. Some are very flexible – like hydrogels – but these materials collapse easily when you subject them to external forces. Morphing materials can also be very stiff – like some aerospace composites  – but it takes a lot of force to make small changes in their shape.

requires much more force to control the shape of a continuous 3D-printed ray
(top two images) than to morph a segmented ray (bottom two images). Image Credit: Francois Barthelat

 

The segmented structure design of fish fins overcomes this functional trade-off by being highly flexible as well as strong. Materials based on this design could be used in underwater propulsion and improve the agility and speed of fish-inspired submarines. They could also be incredibly valuable in soft robotics and allow tools to change into a wide variety of shapes while still being able to grasp objects with a lot of force. Segmented ray designs could even benefit the aerospace field. Morphing wings that could radically change their geometry, yet carry large aerodynamic forces, could revolutionize the way aircraft take off, maneuver and land.

What Still Isn’t Known

While this research goes a long way in explaining how fish fins work, the mechanics at play when fish fins are bent far from their normal positions are still a bit of a mystery. Collagen tends to get stiffer the more deformed it gets, and my colleagues and I suspect that this stiffening response – together with how collagen fibers are oriented within fish fins – improves the mechanical performance of the fins when they are highly deformed.

 

What’s Next?

I am fascinated by the biomechanics of natural fish fins, but my ultimate goal is to develop new materials and devices that are inspired by their mechanical properties. My colleagues and I are currently developing proof-of-concept materials that we hope will convince a broader range of engineers in academia and the private sector that fish fin-inspired designs can provide improved performance for a variety of applications.
