    On the cusp of a discovery? Management believes they have found the edge of an iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) system in the Tsenken target area with each successive hole drilled moving toward the core of the system. Scout drilling commenced in mid-September and through the end of the third quarter, three bore holes had been completed on the Tsenken N2 target for a total of 645 meters drilled and two holes were completed on the Tsenken N3 target representing 724 meters of drilling. Assay results from the first three holes are expected shortly. A sixth hole has been collared where the system appears to be strengthening toward the northwest. After Tsenken N3, the drill rig will likely move to the Tsenken N1 target. In December, a heliborne geophysical survey will commence which will provide magnetic, resistivity and conductivity information to map geological structures at depth.

    Investor conference call.  Management will host a call for investors on December 1, 2020 at 11:00 am ET to provide an update on the company’s activities. While the company’s near-term focus has been on Tsenken, we expect the company to more broadly discuss its plans to test multiple targets on the property that encompass epithermal gold-silver, silver-zinc-lead, sedimentary-hosted copper-silver …

Mark Reichman, Senior Research Analyst of Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

    Third quarter financial results. Comstock Mining generated third quarter net income of $17.3 million, or $0.54 per share, compared with net income of $386.9 thousand, or $0.02 per share during the prior year period and our estimate of $0.51. The increase relative to last year was largely attributed to transaction and investment gains. While revenue was in line with our estimate, gain on the sale of membership interests in Comstock Mining LLC was modestly higher and so was other income. While our 2021 estimate is unchanged, we updated our 2020 EPS estimates to $0.55 from $0.54.

    Advancing Dayton and Spring Valley.  Comstock recently received the results of an airborne geophysical survey of the Dayton resource area and Spring Valley exploration targets that commenced in September and was completed in October. Comstock will compile a structural interpretation of the Dayton resource area which will provide the framework for a new resource model and identify a list of drill …

Release – Palladium One Mining (NKORF) – Discovers up to 0.41 Percent Nickel in Boulders and Begins Drill Program at the Tyko Nickel-Copper-PGE Project in Canada

 

Palladium One Discovers up to 0.41% Nickel in Boulders and Begins Drill Program at the Tyko Nickel-Copper-PGE Project in Canada

 

November 18, 2020 – Toronto, Ontario – Mineralized boulders with up to 0.41% Nickel (“Ni”) have been discovered ‘down ice’ of the Smoke Lake airborne electromagnetic (“EM”) survey, as well as soil samples with up to 565 ppm Ni (>40 times background levels) at the Tyko Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, located in Ontario, Canada, said Palladium One Mining (“Palladium One” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PDM, FRA: 7N11, OTC: NKORF) today. Initially scheduled for June 2020 in response to the Covid-19 lockdown and suspension of exploration activities in Finland during March 2020, diamond drilling of the EM target at Smoke Lake is now scheduled commence on November 23, 2020.

Key highlights:

  • Mineralized boulders and high nickel and copper values in soils indicate potential for high-grade massive sulphide mineralization.
  • Geophysics suggests that mineralization is shallow thus opening up the possibility of open pit mining potential.
  • High-resolution geophysical surveys currently underway, including drone-based magnetics and ground-based EM to further refine Smoke Lake EM anomaly.
  • Up to 0.41% Ni in boulders located 180 m ‘down ice’ of the Smoke Lake EM anomaly.
  • Up to 565 ppm Ni (>40 times background) in soil samples located 90 m ‘down ice’ of the Smoke Lake EM anomaly.
  • Boulders closely resemble Ni-Cu mineralization at the RJ and Tyko zones which have returned up to 4.71% Ni over 0.87m in diamond drilling.
  • Initial Phase I diamond drill program to begin on November 23, 2020.

President and CEO, Derrick Weyrauch commented, “With President-elect Biden’s two-trillion-dollar green energy plan, discovering a high-grade sulfide nickel deposit in shipping distance to existing smelter infrastructure in Sudbury, Ontario could be well timed. We are excited to drill test this anomaly at a time when nickel demand fundamentals are robust.”

Last year’s field season (see press release January 21, 2020) returned up to 238 ppm Ni (>20 times background) in soils with a single reconnaissance soil sampling line conducted over the Smoke Lake EM anomaly. This year’s program consisted of reconnaissance prospecting, mapping, and detailed soil sampling ‘down ice’ of the Smoke Lake EM anomaly. The 2020 program was highly successful have collected several highly anomalous soil samples and the discovery of a cluster of three angular hornblendite boulders, containing both disseminated and rip-up clasts of massive nickel-copper sulphides (Figure 3 and 4). These boulders closely resemble the mineralization found at the both the Tyko and RJ showings located 17 kilometers to the west (Figure 1), which have returned up to 1.06% Ni and 0.35% Cu over 6.22 m including 4.71% Ni and 0.82% Cu over 0.87m in hole TK-16-010 (see press release June 8, 2016).

  • Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2020, were $1.7 million.

Mr. Corrado De Gasperis, Executive Chairman and CEO stated, “Our successful sale of Lucerne has eliminated substantially all of our debt and recorded an $18 plus million gain and expectations of full-year profit for 2020, all while reducing our operating expenses and positioning our balance sheet for growth. We believe that our resource-based technology, properties, plant and equipment, and existing gold and silver mineral properties are undervalued. Our strategic plan includes establishing and growing the value of our existing mineral and royalty properties, commercializing and growing a global, ESG-compliant, profitable mercury remediation business, while still monetizing over $25 million in assets over the next fifteen months, for funding that growth.”

Comstock Mining’s Corporate Growth

The Company’s goal is to grow per-share value by commercializing environment-enhancing, precious and strategic-metal-based products and processes that generate a rate of predictable cash flow (throughput) and increase the long-term enterprise value of our northern Nevada based platform. The next three years are dedicated to delivering that value by achieving the performance objectives listed below:

Establish and grow the value of our mineral properties:

  • Establish the Dayton Resource area’s maiden, stand-alone mineral resource estimate;
  • Expand the Dayton-Spring Valley Complex through exploration drilling and geophysical modelling;
  • Develop the expanded Dayton-SV Complex toward full economic feasibility, supporting a decision to mine;
  • Entitle the Dayton-SV Complex with geotechnical, metallurgical, environmental studies and permitting; and
  • Validate the Comstock NSR Royalty portfolio (Lucerne Mine, Occidental Lode, Comstock Lode, etc.).

Commercialize a global, ESG-compliant, profitable, mercury remediation system:

  • Establish the technical efficacy of MCU’s Comstock Mercury System, and protect the intellectual property;
  • Initiate and operate the first international mercury remediation project by deploying MCU’s second and third mercury remediation systems into the Philippines; and
  • Identify, evaluate and prioritize a pipeline of potential mercury remediation projects; then deploy the third and fourth mercury remediation projects, producing extended, superior cash flow returns.

Monetize non-strategic assets and build a quality organization:

  • Monetize our third-party, junior mining securities responsibly, for $12.5 million or more;
  • Monetize our non-mining assets for $12.5 million, excluding the Gold Hill Hotel;
  • Grow the value of our Opportunity Zone investments to over $30 million; and
  • Deploy a systemic organization, capable of accelerating growth and handling complexity.

The strategic plan is designed to deliver per-share value over the next three years, while positioning the Company for continued growth beyond 2023.

Comstock Mining’s Corporate Realignment

Comstock Mining Inc. is the parent company that wholly owns the realigned subsidiaries and is expanding its mineral resources, mercury remediation operations and royalty portfolios.

Mr. De Gasperis continued, “The realignment enables partnerships and transactions that increase value-creating opportunities and accelerate our precious and strategic-metal-based products and process growth. Our goal is to deliver over $500 million of value, or at least $12 per share, from our existing assets and the commercialization of these environmentally friendly metal processing and mining technologies, partnerships and ventures.”

Comstock Exploration and Development

Our district-wide exploration and development plans contemplate three specific, geological areas that the Company has organized into wholly-owned subsidiaries called Comstock Exploration and Development LLC, Comstock Northern Exploration LLC, and Comstock Mining LLC. Comstock Exploration and Development LLC includes the Dayton and Spring Valley areas. Comstock Northern Exploration LLC includes the Occidental and Gold Hill exploration targets now leased to Tonogold, and Comstock Mining LLC, recently acquired by Tonogold, includes the Lucerne properties. These exploration targets represent over 7 miles of mineralized strike length, with current and historical grades of gold and silver, and significant historical mine production.

Comstock Processing LLC

Comstock Processing LLC (“CPL”), owns all of the property, plant, equipment, and permits for the crushing, agglomerating, leaching, Merrill Crowe processing, mercury retort, refining, and metallurgical operations located at 1200 American Flat Road, Virginia City, Nevada. The facilities represent a fully permitted platform, best positioned for implementing our Strategic Focus on high-value, cash-generating, precious and strategic metal-based activities.

To date, Comstock Processing has entered into two strategic ventures that leverage its platform for nearer-term cash generation; first with Tonogold for the Lease-Option Agreement to lease and operate the facilities and second, with Mercury Clean Up LLC (“MCU”) for the commercial pilot of the MCU mercury remediation system.

Dayton Resource and Spring Valley Exploration Areas

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company engaged Geotech Ltd (“Geotech”) of Aurora, Canada, to conduct an airborne geophysical survey of the Dayton resource area, Spring Valley exploration targets, and the rest of the Company’s Comstock district properties. The survey included both magnetic and Geotech’s proprietary Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (“VTEM”) surveys.

The survey was flown from September 19, through October 3, 2020, with 1,161 line-kilometers. The interpreted, three-dimensional results have been recently delivered to the Company and our geological team is just now assessing a deep trove of geophysical and geological data. The results will greatly increase the Company’s understanding of the Dayton resource area, the Spring Valley resource expansion potential, and the rest of the Company’s Comstock district properties.

The Company’s technical staff is currently compiling a detailed structural interpretation of the Dayton resource area, which will provide the framework for a completely new resource model. The detailed interpretation is leading to a list of highly prospective drill targets to further define and expand the mineral resource.

The Company is proceeding to publish a separate S-K 1300 compliant, Initial Assessment technical report for the Dayton resource area to validate a mineral resource estimate. The new technical report will provide not only a new resource estimate, but also a phased drilling plan for further defining and expanding the resource for sustainable, profitable mining. The Company plans to continually advance the Dayton to full feasibility, towards a production ready mine plan. Mining on lands 100% privately held by the Company should shorten the permitting cycle.

Corporate

During 2019, the Company received $6.1 million in Tonogold convertible preferred stock (“CPS”). The CPS became convertible into common shares on May 22, 2020. On May 22, 2020, and September 29, 2020, the Company elected to convert $1.1 million and $2.8 million of CPS, respectively, at $0.18 per common share, for a total of 21,777,778 common shares. Through November 13, 2020, the Company has sold 5,057,894 common shares at an average price of $0.40 per share for proceeds of over $2 million and still holds 16,719,884 shares.

On October 2, 2020, Tonogold redeemed the remaining $2.2 million of CPS for $2.6 million in cash, representing 120% of the CPS face value. The Company promptly reduced its debt from approximately $4.8 million at September 30, 2020, to approximately $2.5 million in early October.

The Company is also owed $4.5 million, in the form of a 12% note receivable, due and payable by Tonogold on September 20, 2021, plus Tonogold’s assumption of $6.7 million in future lease and reclamation obligations, that together represent a permanent reduction of annual operating expenses of approximately $1 million.

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2020, were $1.7 million, total common shares outstanding at both September 30, 2020, and November 17, 2020, were 34,440,766 shares.

Outlook

The Company expects to monetize its non-mining assets over the next fifteen months, for over $22 million, net of debt. The Company expects to close on the sale of certain properties and senior water rights in Silver Springs, Nevada, to Sierra Springs Enterprises Inc., for total proceeds of approximately $10 million. The Company also expects to monetize the remaining $9.7 million in Tonogold securities over the next fifteen months and collect on the $4.5 million in notes receivable in the next 10 months. The Company will use the proceeds to extinguish the outstanding $2.5 million in debt obligations, plus accrued interest, and fund the Company’s growth initiatives.

The Company’s fourth quarter 2020 plans also include updating the Dayton’s current resource estimate and continuing southerly into Spring Valley with incremental exploration programs that include recently completed geophysical surveys, surface exploration and definition drilling of targets identified by the geophysical surveys, surface mapping, prior drilling and deeper geological interpretations that all lead to publishing a new, S-K 1300 compliant, mineral resource estimate.

The Company’s remaining 2020 plans include advancing the investment in and the commercialization of MCU’s mercury remediation processing technologies. The Company expects to close on the MCU transaction during the fourth quarter of 2020, meaning it will then own 15% of MCU and expects to close on the MCU Philippines transaction in the first quarter of 2021, meaning it will then own 25% of MCU and 50% of its first joint venture in the Philippines. Oro Industries Inc. has delivered the 25-ton-per-hour mercury recovery plant and is testing and preparing the system for its pilot operations on the Comstock, including a 200 gallon-per-minute dissolved air flotation water treatment plant. These pilot trial operations will continue throughout 2021, at the Company’s American Flat processing facility, to validate and fine-tune the mercury extraction and remediation process, with the objective of reclaiming and remediating the Company’s existing properties, enhancing the values of, and evaluating the potential economic feasibility for, these properties, and creating new global growth opportunities in mercury remediation by demonstrating MCU’s technological and operational effectiveness, efficiency, and feasibility.

MCU-P has delivered its first international system to the Philippines and plans to commence reclamation operations during the fourth quarter 2020. MCU-P will operate under a joint venture agreement with Clean Ore Solutions, a Philippine Company, for mercury extraction and remediation of Mount Diwalwal and the Naboc River, one of the most mercury polluted, gold mining regions in the world. This represents the first real international opportunity for large-scale mercury remediation and environmental reclamations, using MCU’s systems, and establishing MCU as a leader in mercury remediation projects, and in particular, contamination caused by artisanal and small-scale miners.

Release – Golden Predator (NTGSF, GPY:CA) – Completes 2020 Drill Program at Brewery Creek Mine Yukon

 

Golden Predator Completes 2020 Drill Program at Brewery Creek Mine, Yukon

 

Vancouver, BC, November 17, 2020: Golden Predator Mining Corp. (TSX.V:GPY, OTCQX:NTGSF) (the “Company”) today announces the completion of its 2020 work program at its licensed 100%-owned Brewery Creek mine project ?located approximately 55 km by road from Dawson City, Yukon. The 2020 program consisted of 60 drill holes for ~5,600 m of drilling including ~ 4,400 m of exploration and in-fill drilling plus 1,200 m of metallurgical and geotechnical drilling. All samples have been shipped and are currently being processed.

Brewery Creek maps can be viewed at: https://www.goldenpredator.com/_resources/news/GPY-NR-2020-Drill-Program-Completed-MAPS.pdf.

2020 Exploration and Technical Drill Program

The 2020 Brewery Creek drill program consisted of exploration, in-fill, geotechnical, hydrogeologic and metallurgical drilling to advance the Bankable Feasibility Study currently underway and projected for completion in Q1/21.

Infill Drilling

This program builds on Golden Predator’s successful 2019 program that established continuity of mineralization within the licensed Reserve Trend between the eastern edge of the Canadian-Fosters-Kokanee-Golden pits east to the Lucky pit. The 32 reverse circulation drill holes drilled in 2020 were designed to fill in and expand the gold resource between the eastern Golden zone and western Lucky zone. The targeted mineralization between these zones has been offset by a high-angle normal fault and was previously untested until 2019 when the zone was intersected with multiple drill holes.

Infill drilling within this 400 m gap between the eastern edge of the Fosters to Golden trend and the western edge of the Lucky zone is also to increase the density of drilling to convert Inferred resources to Indicated resources and confirm continuity of mineralization between the two deposits while testing for additional resources. The goal is to establish and confirm continuous mineralization along the Fosters-Canadian-Kokanee-Golden-Lucky zones for mine design now in progress as a part of the Brewery Creek Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS).

A total of 32 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 3,706 m were completed in the gap area between the eastern edge of Golden and western edge of Lucky. Samples from this program have been submitted to ALS Laboratories for sample preparation in Whitehorse, Yukon and assaying in Vancouver, British Columbia. Initial assay results from the program are expected in late November with complete assay results expected by the end of the year.

2020 Exploration Drilling of New Large-Scale Targets – Classic and Lonestar Zone

The 2020 drill program, targeted newly defined extensions of the Classic/Lone Star porphyry-style intrusive, with 3 reverse circulation holes totaling 687 m. The holes were very wide step-out holes drilled at significant distances from any existing drilling at the Classic and Lone Star areas.

Two of the drill holes (RC20-2710 and RC20-2711) were located approximately 500 m from each other and at least 650 m southeast of the closest previous drilling within the Classic and Lone Star zones. These holes targeted an area defined by anomalous gold and arsenic soil and rock chip geochemistry within a structural zone. The third drill hole (RC20-2711), located approximately 1,330 m to the east of the nearest previous drilling, tested a coincident aeromagnetic and radiometric anomaly indicating a structural zone along the margin of a biotite monzonite intrusive within an area of spotty gold and arsenic in soil geochemistry. All three drill holes encountered multiple fault zones and variable amounts of intrusive rock as dikes/sills within the structural zones.

The Classic Zone is a near surface bulk tonnage target that lies approximately 3 km south of the Brewery Creek Reserve Trend. Together with the Lone Star zone, the Classic Zone demonstrates the discovery potential of the entire southern portion of the large Brewery Creek Property where a large syenite intrusion hosts gold mineralization primarily in sheeted quartz/carbonate/pyrite veins and as fine-grained disseminations. Initial column leach tests have indicated that this intrusive hosted mineralization is leachable to at least a 200 m depth. This mineralization is clearly a separate younger mineralizing event not associated with the quartz monzonite thrust-hosted mineralization historically exploited in the Reserve Trend which is the subject of the ongoing bankable feasibility study.

Metallurgical & Geotechnical Drilling

A total of 14 PQ diamond drill holes totaling 540 m were completed in Foster-Canadian-Kokanee-Golden and Lucky pit areas. The program was designed to obtain mineralized material from the Fosters, Kokanee, Golden and Lucky areas for additional column leach tests. The core was shipped to McClelland Labs in Reno, NV where it is currently being tested. The core samples will be used to conduct additional column leach tests at a coarser crush size of approximately 3/4” versus previous test work conducted at 3/8” crush size at Kokanee, Golden and Lucky. These column tests are being conducted to confirm the recent results of column leach tests run at various crush sizes on material from the historic heap leach pad where the data showed slightly better recoveries of gold in solution for the coarser 3/4” crush size. A coarser crush size would help streamline any recovery process. These tests will be detailed in the Bankable Feasibility Study currently underway.

A total of eleven geotechnical/hydrogeologic drill holes were completed to support the ongoing Bankable Feasibility Study at Brewery Creek. A total of 975 m of drilling was completed in 8 diamond drill holes (792 m) and 3 reverse circulation drill holes (182 m). The diamond drill program was consisted of oriented, HQ3 core to support detailed fracture analysis of lithologies in the proposed pit walls and three of these were completed with piezometers. The 3 reverse circulation drill holes were drilled and completed as hydrogeologic monitor wells.

Brewery Creek Mine: Resources

Materials on the heap leach pad were not included in the resource update.
Mineral Resources estimates conducted within a pit shell developed at $2,000/oz gold with an internal cut-off grade calculated at $1,500/oz gold was used to report mineral resource inventories

The resource estimate is based on a recovery model created from assay data, bottle and column leach test work and historic recovery analysis instead of a less accurate visual oxide-sulfide boundary developed from geologist drill logs. Sedimentary and intrusive rocks, which have distinct metallurgical characteristics, were estimated separately based on gold-grade distribution analysis.

The current 2020 Mineral Resources Estimate supersedes the 2019 Mineral Resource Estimate. A supporting NI 43-101 Technical Report is filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Brewery Creek Mine Work Plan

The Brewery Creek Mine is a licensed brownfields heap leach gold mine that was operated by Viceroy Minerals Corporation from 1996 to 2002. Brewery Creek is authorized to restart mining activities as defined within the Quartz Mining License and Water License. The Company intends to resume mining and processing of licensed deposits when supported by an independent study that outlines technical and economic viability. The 180 km2 property is located 55 km east of Dawson City and is accessible year-round by paved and improved gravel roads. Significant infrastructure remains in place, allowing for a timely restart schedule under existing operating licenses.

A Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) 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 BFS 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 BFS will include all the key parameters involved in reconstructing or adding necessary infrastructure including a crushing facility, the Adsorption-Desorption-Recovery (“ADR”) plant and assay lab and an implementation schedule, sourcing, 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.

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 is employed by the Company as its Chief Operating Officer.

Release – Palladium One Mining (NKORF) – Step-Out Drill Hole Intersects Shallow High-Grade Mineralization at Murtolampi Zone Finland

 

Palladium One Step-Out Drill Hole Intersects Shallow, High-Grade Mineralization at Murtolampi Zone, Finland

 

November 16, 2020 – Toronto, Ontario – Starting at only 11 m down hole, hole LK20-026 at the Murtolampi Zone, intersected high-grade open pit potential mineralization returning 13 m at 3.4 g/t palladium equivalent (Pd_Eq)* within 79 m at 2.0 g/t Pd_Eq (Figure 1, 2 and 3). said Palladium One Mining Inc. (“Palladium One” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PDM, FRA: 7N11, OTC: NKORF) today.

Key highlights:

  • Shallow high-grade results suggest potential for a low-cost satellite open pit at Murtolampi, which is close to the existing Kaukua deposit, located 2 km to the south.
  • Murtolampi remains open for expansion both laterally and at depth.
  • A core, near surface interval of 13 m at 3.4 g/t Pd_Eq starting 66 m down hole in hole LK20-026 returned 79 m at 2.0 g/t Pd_Eq starting 11.0 m down hole.
  • Hole LK20-026 is located 50 m southwest of Hole LK20-012 which returned 20 m at 2.3 g/t Pd_Eq, starting 29 m down hole within 87 m @ 1.4 g/t Pd_Eq starting 5.8 m downhole (see news release dated August 25, 2020)
  • Hole LK20-026 is also located 550 m northeast of hole LK20-024 which returned a core interval of 3 m at 1.4 g/t Pd_Eq. within 21 m at 0.85 g/t Pd_Eq.
  • The mineralized peridotite at Murtolampi has now been defined over a 600 m strike length.

“The at surface mineralization at Murtolampi continues to advance a potentially valuable satellite pit to the Kaukua deposit which is located only 2 km to the south.” said Derrick Weyrauch, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Hole LK20-026 is by far the highest-grade hole drilled to date at Murtolampi, we look forward to additional results from this zone in the Phase II drill program.”

Palladium One has confirmed PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization over 600 m of strike length at the Murtolampi zone and the zone remains open for expansion laterally and at depth (Figure 1, 2 and 3).

The Murtolampi zone hosts both mineralized (holes LK20-12, 024 & 026) and unmineralized (hole (LK20-025) peridotite. Mineralized peridotite contains blebby Cu-Ni sulphides and strong PGE mineralization and produces a modest Induced Polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly. Unmineralized peridotite is Ni bearing and Cu-PGE-poor while containing fine grain disseminated pyrite which produces strong IP chargeability anomalies. These two peridotite phases are in contact with one another at Murtolampi, making distinctions between the IP anomalies difficult. The overall geometry of the Murtolampi zone is yet to be defined, additional holes including undercut and scissor holes are planned in the Phase II drill program to better define the mineralization peridotite body.

Phase II Drill Program

Based on its discovery success this year, the Company has launched a 17,500 m phase II diamond drill program (see news release November 10, 2020) which will be focused on the Kaukua South and Murtolampi zones.

*Palladium Equivalent

Palladium equivalent is calculated using US$1,100 per ounce for palladium, US$950 per ounce for platinum, US$1,300 per ounce for gold, US$6,614 per tonne for copper, and US$15,4332 per tonne for nickel. This calculation is consistent with the calculation in the Company’s September 2019 NI 43-101 Kaukua resource estimate.

QA/QC

The Phase I drilling program was carried out under the supervision of Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P. Geo., Vice President of Exploration and a director of the Company.

Drill core samples were split using a rock saw by Company staff, with half retained in the core box and stored indoors in a secure facility, in Taivalkoski, Finland. The drill core samples were transported by courier from the Company’s core handling facility in Taivalkoski, Finland, to ALS Global (“ALS”) laboratory in Outokumpu, Finland. ALS, is an accredited lab and are ISO compliant (ISO 9001:2008, ISO/IEC 17025:2005). PGE analysis was performed using a 30 grams fire assay with an ICP-MS or ICP-AES finish. Multi-element analyses, including copper and nickel were analysed by four acid digestion using 0.25 grams with an ICP-AES finish.

Certified standards, blanks and crushed duplicates are placed in the sample stream at a rate of one QA/QC sample per 10 core samples. Results are analyzed for acceptance at the time of import. All standards associated with the results in this press release were determined to be acceptable within the defined limits of the standard used

Release – Newrange Gold (NRGOF) – Updates Drill Program at Pamlio Project

Newrange Gold Updates Drill Program at Pamlio Project

 

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, November 12, 2020 (TSXV: NRG, US: NRGOF, Frankfurt: X6C) – Newrange Gold Corp. (“Newrange” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Pamlico Gold Project in Nevada. Since commencing the program in late May, the Company has drilled 65 holes (including two that had to be re-drilled) for a total of 6,538.04 meters. Assay results for the last 26 of these holes are still pending. Given this backlog of assays, the Company is taking a short hiatus in the drill program in order to compile the incoming results and plan a follow-up program.

Since switching rigs in September, drilling has been going well and the Company has drilled seven holes in each of the Gold Box Canyon and Merritt areas, eight at the Good Hope Mine, six at the Gold Bar and Pamlico Mines and two on IP anomalies.

The detailed location of upcoming holes, meters to be drilled and the relative amounts of RC versus diamond drilling will be determined once assay results have been interpreted. However, the Company expects to drill at least another 3,000 meters in approximately 20 holes that range in depth from 75 to 465 meters, following up on the recent drilling and with multiple holes planned to test the large Line 5 chargeability anomaly near the center of the property. It is anticipated that drilling will recommence on or about December 5.

About Pamlico

Located 12 miles southeast of Hawthorne, Nevada, along US Highway 95, the project enjoys excellent access and infrastructure, a mild, year-round operating climate and strong political support from Mineral County, one of the most pro-mining counties in the pro-mining state of Nevada. The Pamlico project covers the historic Pamlico group of mines, as well as the nearby Good Hope, Gold Bar and Sunset mines.

Discovered in 1884, the district rapidly gained a reputation as being one of Nevada’s highest-grade districts. Held by private interests for most of its history, the property remains underexplored in terms of modern exploration.

About Newrange Gold Corp.
