Palladium One Begins 2,000-Meter Phase II Drilling and Outlines EM Conductors at Smoke Lake High-Grade Sulphide Nickel Zone of the Tyko Project in Ontario

 

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 6, 2021) –  A 2,000-meter Phase II drilling program at the high-grade Smoke Lake nickel discovery, which returned up to 9.9% Ni_Eq over 3.8 meters from surface (see press release January 19, 2021), on the Tyko Sulphide-Nickel-Copper project in Ontario, Canada, has started, said Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (FSE: 7N11) (OTCQB: NKORF) (“Palladium One” or the “Company”) today. In advance of drilling, in February 2021, detailed ground based Electromagnetic (“EM”) and Borehole Electromagnetic (“BHEM”) surveys were conducted to better define the conductors hosting the high-grade nickel mineralization.

EM and BHEM surveys conducted at Smoke Lake outlined two conductors, the deeper one was intersected by a single drill hole returning 6.3% Ni_Eq over 0.9 meters (see press release January 19, 2021) during the December 2020 drill program. This lower conductor extends beyond the EM survey grid to the northwest, where it remains open for extension.

“Given the very encouraging results at Smoke Lake, we have commissioned a 3,000-line kilometer, high-resolution airborne, Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Max) survey covering the entire Tyko Nickel-Copper Project, which includes the Bulldozer mafic-ultramafic Intrusion, the objective of which is the discovery of additional EM anomalies such as the Smoke Lake anomaly. The survey is expected to be flown in May 2021,” said Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.

“In addition to the work conducted at Smoke Lake in Q1 2021, the Company also completed a short reconnaissance drill program of 1,233 meters in 5 drill holes and both EM and BHEM surveys on its Disraeli PGE-Ni-Cu project, located in Ontario, Canada and within the prolific mid-continental rift.”

“Significant cobalt bearing magnetite skarn mineralization was intersected. Notably, down hole geophysics outlined an off-hole conductor at the basement contact that may represent a mafic-ultramafic feeder system to the Disraeli Intrusion, which requires follow up,” said Weyrauch.

Highlights

• A 2,000-meter Phase II drilling program on the Smoke Lake high-grade sulphide nickel discovery at the Tyko Sulphide Nickel Project has started.
• Ground based and borehole EM surveys have outlined two significant conductors at Smoke Lake, one of which extends beyond the survey area, where it remains open for extension.
• High-resolution drone based magnetic survey data suggests a larger magnetic body occurs at depth, below and to the northeast of the Smoke Lake discovery.
• 3,000-line kilometer airborne VTEM™ Max survey scheduled to be flown in May 2021 over the entire Tyko Sulphide-Nickel-Copper project.
• Disraeli project drilling intersects cobalt bearing magnetite skarn mineralization.

Tyko Phase II Drilling Program and EM Surveys, Ontario, Canada

A 2,000-meter Phase II drilling program at the high-grade sulphide-nickel discovery of Smoke Lake has started. From surface, the Smoke Lake zone returned 9.9% Ni Eq over 3.8 meters (8.13 % Ni, 2.88% Cu, 0.11% Co, 0.61 g/t Pd, 0.71 g/t Pt and 0.02 g/t Au), (see news release January 19, 2021). This Phase II program is designed to infill and expand the high-grade sulphide-nickel mineralization. The program is expected to continue until the start of spring weather conditions.

In February 2021, high-resolution ground-based and borehole EM surveys were conducted at Smoke Lake. This second ground-based survey was undertaken to supplement the initial reconnaissance survey conducted in October 2020 (see press release December 7, 2020) . The February 2021 survey provided excellent data and allowed the modeling of two conductive plates (Figure 1) which closely match the drilling results to date (Figure 1 and 2). These plates consist of smaller highly conductive near surface plate and a larger less conductive but more expansive plate. The most significant result from this survey is that the lower most conductor continues off the survey grid area, to the northwest where it remains open for expansion.

In addition to the EM surveys, the Company commission an inversion of the high-resolution drone based magnetic survey which was flown in 2020 (see press release December 7, 2020). The inversion model shows a large southwest plunging body at depth, below the Smoke Lake zone. The Smoke Lake zone is associated with a strong magnetic high at surface and an elevated magnetic response at depth (Figure 3). This deep magnetic body may represent mafic-ultramafic rocks associated with the Smoke Lake nickel mineralization, and is a high priority target.

The Company has contracted to fly a 3,000-line kilometer high resolution (100-meter line spacing) airborne EM and magnetic survey using the VTEM™ Max system. The Tyko project encompasses 200 square kilometers, the vast majority of which has seen little to no exploration or even government regional mapping. The western portion of the project has been the subject of several historic airborne EM surveys, using the technology of that time (Figure 4.), however the eastern portion is only partially covered by a 1980’s Noranda survey.

Notably it was the old 1980’s survey that detected the Smoke Lake EM anomaly at the very end of one of the flight lines (Figure 4). There is very limited airborne EM coverage surrounding the high-grade Smoke Lake nickel discovery, and absolutely no survey coverage to the south. This “terra incognita” is highly prospective for additional massive nickel sulphide discoveries, as it also hosts the Company’s Shabotik showing which has returned up to 1.0 % nickel in grab samples (see press release August 19, 2019).

Disraeli PGE-Ni-Cu Project Drilling and EM Surveys, Ontario, Canada

In January 2021, the Company constructed a 2-kilometre ice road and then drilled 5 ice-based holes totalling 1,233 meters to test several airborne EM conductors and a reversely polarized magnetic body under Hook bay of Disraeli Lake (see news release December 9, 2020). One conductor was found to be caused by massive magnetite copper-cobalt-nickel Skarn, while several of the airborne EM conductors proved to be the result of lake sediments. (Figure 5), (Table 2). The reversely polarized magnetic body requires additional follow up as it was not adequately explained, it may be the result of a reversely polarized granophyric sill located below the Disraeli Intrusion and/or a magnetite skarn.

Borehole EM surveys were conducted on all holes drilled and were hindered by very high background conductivity, which may be the result of saline brines in the Sibley Formation sediments. Of particular note was an off-hole EM conductor identified at the Sibley – Quetico (metasedimentary basement rocks) contact (Figure 6). Unseasonably warm conditions in early March resulted in deterioration of the ice road, cutting the drill program short and thus this target was not able to be tested. This target remains a priority target.

The copper-cobalt-nickel magnetite skarn is of particular interest as it is enriched in cobalt (Table 2). The mineralization intersected in the recent program is very similar to skarn mineralization intersected 1.5 kilometers to the south in holes U17-01 and U17-02 by a previous operator. These holes intersected up to 0.13 % cobalt over 2.0 meters and 0.16 % cobalt over 0.45 meters respectively.

This cobalt bearing skarn-style mineralization has now been intersected by 4 holes on the Disraeli project indicating it is much more widespread that previously thought. The mineralization is hosted in the carbonate-rich (dolomite) Rossport unit of the Sibley Formation, mostly likely representing replacement of stromatolitic beds within the sediments. It consists of massive to stringer magnetite with 10-20% sulphides consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite (Figure 7).This skarn mineralization is indicative of widespread hydrothermal alteration associated with either the Disraeli intrusion or another unknown mafic-ultramafic intrusion at depth. Additional, copper mineralization is known to occur in the greater Disraeli Lake area as chalcocite and malachite hosted in stromatolites with the Sibley sediments, grab samples collected by the Ministry of Northern development in 2011 returned up to 1.57% Cu (Mineral Deposit Index MDI52H02NW00002) from this style of mineralization. All of this indicates a significant magmatic hydrothermal system was present in the Disraeli Lake area, and suggests thicker and higher-grade areas of cobalt skarn mineralization are yet to be discovered.

Golden Predator Submits Brewery Creek License Renewal Applications

 

Vancouver, BC, April 1, 2021:
Golden Predator Mining Corp. (TSX.V:GPY, OTCQX:NTGSF) (the “Company” or “Golden Predator”) advises the Company has submitted its Water Use License
(WUL) and Quartz Mining License (QML) renewal applications for its 100%-owned Brewery Creek mine project
located approximately 55 km by paved and gravel road from Dawson City, Yukon.
The Company looks forward to working with Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, the Yukon
Department of Energy, Mines and Resources and the Yukon Water Board to advance
the renewal applications.  

The Brewery Creek Mine is a brownfields heap leach gold mine that was operated by Viceroy Minerals Corporation from 1996 to 2002. Important infrastructure remains in place allowing for a timely restart schedule.

Brewery Creek currently holds valid Quartz Mining and Water Use Licenses, which expire December 31, 2021. The Company has submitted renewal applications on existing terms and conditions for 10-year extensions to the Quartz Mining License (QML) Water Use License (WUL). Golden Predator is currently working on a document to meet Yukon Environmental Socioeconomic Assessment Act (YESAA) requirements and expects to submit the project plan in early Q3 2021.

Brewery Creek Mine Work Plan

A Feasibility Study (FS) is being conducted by Kappes Cassiday & Associates of Reno, Nevada which will include a multi-year mine plan for the advancement of the Brewery Creek project.   The FS will include an inventory of the mineralized material remaining on the heap and mine planning (completed by Tetra Tech Inc of Golden, Colorado) for the resumption of the mining of material from leachable resources contained within the licensed area and reported in the Company’s Mineral Resource Estimate.  The FS will include all the key parameters involved in reconstructing or adding necessary infrastructure including a crushing facility, the Adsorption-Desorption-Recovery (“ADR”) plant, mine schedule, operating and capital cost estimates, and economic cash flow model sufficiently detailed to move directly into procurement, development and construction if economically warranted. Any production decisions would be dependent on the outcome of a study demonstrating positive technical and economic viability.

Golden Predator Mining Corp – Viva Gold  Corp. (TSX.V: VAU; OTCQB: VAUCF) (“Viva Gold“)

The Company previously announced (March 3, 2021)  it has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement whereby Golden Predator will acquire all of the outstanding securities of Viva Gold by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The proposed Arrangement brings together proven mine building expertise, jurisdictional diversification and two advanced stage gold development projects as the two company’s merge their Nevada and Yukon assets and management to position the company as an emerging junior gold producer.

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Michael Maslowski CPG, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and a consultant to the Company.

About Golden Predator Mining Corp.

Golden Predator is advancing the past-producing Brewery Creek Mine towards a timely resumption of mining activities in Canada’s Yukon. The project has established resources grading over 1.0 g/t Gold and both a technical report and Bankable Feasibility Study underway to define the economics of a restart of heap leach operations at the Brewery Creek Mine. The 180 km² brownfield property is located 55 km by road from Dawson City, Yukon and operates under a Socio-Economic Accord with the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation.  The Company also holds the Marg Project, with a 43-101 compliant resource, the Gold Dome Project and Grew Creek Project.

Great Bear Doubles Vertical Extent of LP Fault, Intersects High-Grade Gold at
942.20 m Downhole: 15.57 g/t Gold Over 3.05 m

 

March 29, 2021 – Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada – Great Bear Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Great Bear”, TSX-V: GBR; OTCQX: GTBAF) today reported results from its ongoing fully funded $45 million 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

Expansion of the LP
Fault

• Deep drilling has doubled the
  drill-confirmed vertical extent of the LP Fault gold zone, which begins at bedrock surface, to approximately 800 vertical metres.  The area of ongoing grid drilling extends along 4 kilometres of strike length.  Figure 1 and Figure 2.
• Three new 400 – 450 metre step-down holes drilled along 500
  metres of strike length all successfully intersected the continuation
  of the LP Fault host rocks and gold mineralization at depths of 700 – 820
  vertical metres.
• Gold grades and mineralized
  zone thickness were better at depth on two of three tested drill sections.
• Initial deep drilling tested below the most weakly
  mineralized segment of the LP Fault, formerly referred to as the “Gap” zone (February 13, 2020).
• Large scale step-out drilling at depth,
  including below areas
  of high-grade gold mineralization, will continue throughout 2021.

High-Grade Gold in the First Deep LP Fault
Drill Holes

• High-grade gold was intersected at depth in two of the three deep drill holes, with better grades and thickness than previously observed in the near surface.  All three deep drill holes contained multiple intervals of gold mineralization.  Table 1 and Table 2.
• BR-260 is the deepest LP Fault drill hole to date.  It assayed 15.57
  g/t gold over 3.05 metres from 942.20 to 945.25 metres, within a broader interval of 1.08
  g/t gold over 70.25 metres from 906.15 to 976.40 metres.  Figure
  3 and Figure
  4.
• While high-grade intervals are the primary drill targets at these depths, the dual high-grade and bulk-tonnage character of the
  LP Fault gold zone remains strongly developed at depth.
• Oriented core data collected from these initial deep holes will assist with determining controls to higher grade panels within the broad envelope of gold mineralization. 

Great Bear has now published results from 270 LP Fault drill holes and anticipates at least
130 additional LP Fault drill holes will be completed by the end of 2021, for a total of at
least 400 drill holes.

Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, “We drilled below the most weakly mineralized segment of the LP Fault with our first deep holes, and discovered better gold mineralization at depth.  After 270 drill holes we have yet to find the limits of the LP Fault’s gold mineralization.  Mesothermal gold systems of this type, particularly in the Red Lake area, can extend vertically over kilometres.  We are currently working with in-house and external modelers to finalize 2021 drill plans, and will provide guidance over the coming weeks on expected timing of delivery of initial estimates of mineral resources.”

Table 1: Drill holes released to date on section 21450 showing increased gold mineralization grades and widths with increasing depth in the former “Gap” zone.  See news releases of April 9, 2020 and May 4, 2020 for previously reported drill holes.
New results
from BR-260 in italics.

* Widths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time.  Average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts.  Interval widths are calculated using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off grade with up to 3 m of internal dilution of zero grade.

Great Bear’s progress can be followed using the Company’s plan maps, long sections and cross sections, and through the VRIFY model posted at the Company’s web site at www.greatbearresources.ca, which will next be updated in Q2 2021.  All LP Fault drill hole highlighted assays, plus drill collar locations and orientations can also be downloaded at the Company’s web site.

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 330 km2 of highly prospective tenure across 5 projects: the flagship Dixie Project (100% owned), the Pakwash Property (earning a 100% interest), the Dedee Property (earning a 100% interest), the Sobel Property (earning a 100% interest), and the Red Lake North Property (earning a 100% interest) all of which are accessible year-round through existing roads.

QA/QC and Core Sampling
Protocols

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located in Red Lake Ontario.  Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to Activation Laboratories in Ontario, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods.  Pulps from approximately 5% of the gold mineralized samples are submitted for check analysis to a second lab.  Selected samples are also chosen for duplicate assay from the coarse reject of the original sample.  Selected samples with visible gold are also analyzed with a standard 1 kg metallic screen fire assay.  Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Great Bear’s quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC).  No QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein.
