Diamond drilling program. Allegiant released results from its seven-hole, 3,457-meter diamond core drill program within the high-grade zone at Eastside. The drill program targeted deeper high-grade gold-silver mineralization within the core of the Eastside Rhyolite complex as well as deeper portions of the contact between the rhyolite complex and the surrounding volcanic host rocks. The program followed up on high-grade results identified in 2021 reverse circulation (RC) drilling, including Holes ES-239 and ES-243.
Results reaffirm presence of high-grade zones. The program confirmed high-grade gold-silver mineralization that was observed in earlier drill Holes ES-239 and ES-243 and the occurrence of high-grade zones within the Eastside Deposit’s rhyolite host rock. Hole ES-280 returned 9.9 grams of gold per tonne over 1.5 meters and 5.3 grams of gold per tonne over 1.5 meters within a broader intercept of 0.63 grams of gold per tonne over 99 meters. Holes ES-281 and ES-282 returned 1 gram of gold per tonne over 12 meters and 49 meters, respectively, while Hole ES-285 intersected 2 grams of gold over 9 meters within a broader intercept of 0.46 grams of gold per tonne over 105 meters.

The Argument for Higher Oil Market Prices is Fairly Straightforward
The price of oil is near its 2022 low. This lower per barrel cost is normal when the commodities market perceives the economy as slowing or that it will slow. What is surprising is that the price is near the low for the year when the Chinese are easing Covid restrictions and will soon be requiring more fuel; at the same time, a Russian oil cap, which is sure to bring less supply to the market, was just instituted this week. In the meantime, energy producers, up 60.8% on the year, are not sinking at the pace of oil prices.
Energy shares have been the big winners for 2022. And it is rare that they are flying solo, without the help of price increases of their underlying product. According to Bespoke Investment Group, last month marked the first time since 2006 that the S&P 500 energy sector has traded within 3% of a 12-month high while the price of West Texas Intermediate retreated more than 25% from its one-year peak..
The divergence has caught the attention of investors. Since drillers and miners tend to rise and fall with the prices of the commodities they produce, many expect the gap to narrow to its more historical norm. Most are looking for oil to rise rather than drillers to fall.
Pressures that could cause oil to rise include the EU winter season, the U.S. Strategic Reserves bumping up against depletion, OPEC+ keeping production quotas unchanged, and Western governments’ $60-a-barrel price cap on Russian crude. These, taken together, are expected to put upward pressure on per-barrel prices. The commodities market is not moving in accordance with these factors. Futures contracts for U.S. crude closed Monday 3.8% lower at $76.93 a barrel, its fourth-lowest settle of the year.
Working against the argument for higher crude prices is the expected slowing of world economies. The possibility of a recession in many global economies while central banks raise interest rates, is unknown. Any impact remains to be seen.

Going for the gold. Maple Gold released results from drilling completed at the Douay Gold Project during the first half of 2022 totaling 7,800 meters. Douay is held by a 50/50 joint venture between the company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. The first year of drilling focused primarily on infill drilling. The second year focused on “quantum leap” style exploration with additional step-outs, deep drilling, and testing discovery targets. The same approach will be taken next year to define the extent and potential of the mineralized system at Douay. An additional ~10,000 meters of drilling has been completed at the Eagle and Telbel mine properties with assays pending.
Favorable drill results. Ten of twelve holes returned intercepts over 0.45 grams of gold per tonne, and seven returned intercepts greater than 1.0 gram of gold per tonne. Hole DO-22-322A in the Nika Zone intersected 9.8 grams of gold over 1 meter from 584 meters depth along with other positive intercepts that support depth continuity of the intrusive hydrothermal gold system at Douay. Sediment-hosted gold showings at the NE IP Target provided support for a new gold zone four kilometers to the northeast of the current Douay mineral resource area. Hole DO-22-326 in the Central Zone returned four intercepts greater than 1 gram of gold per tonne, including 3.0 grams of gold per tonne over 1.0 meter from only 67 meters downhole.

Private placement financing. Aurania closed the first tranche of its private placement financing of up to 4,444,444 units of the company for gross proceeds of up to C$2,000,000. In aggregate, 2,417,166 units were sold at a price of C$0.45 per unit for gross proceeds of C$1,087,725. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant that entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of C$0.75 per warrant share at any time until November 29, 2024. Aurania received an extension by the TSX Venture Exchange to close the second tranche by January 9, 2023, although we believe it will likely close by mid-December.
Drilling begins at Tatasham. Aurania has commenced its drilling program at the Tatasham porphyry copper target. We expect the company to drill up to four holes for a total of 2,700 meters, or an average depth of 675 meters per hole. Because Tatasham is a blind geophysical target with no mineralization at surface, we expect drilling will be an iterative process subject to refinement. Following Tatasham, the company anticipates drilling at the Awacha porphyry copper target.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 1, 2022) – Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G) (“Maple Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that, further to the Company’s news release on October 7, 2022, two (2) additional drill rigs have been secured, bringing the number of rigs at site up to five (5) in total. The additional rigs will help to complete the previously announced 6,000 metre (“m”) deep drilling program in the Telbel mine area (“Telbel”) at the Joutel Project (“Joutel”), which is held by a 50/50 joint venture (the “JV”) between the Company and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, as well as initiate the previously announced 10,000 m deep drilling program at the JV’s Douay Project (“Douay”) in the coming weeks.
Three (3) drill rigs are currently turning at the Company’s 100%-controlled Eagle Mine Property (“Eagle”), where the previously announced 5,000 m Phase III drill program is expected to be completed by year-end. A fourth drill rig was added in late October and continues to drill at Telbel. The fifth drill rig has arrived at site and been mobilized to Telbel, where the Company expects to complete the 6,000 m program by January 2023. As drill rigs become available from Eagle and Telbel, they will be relocated to Douay and the Company anticipates having all five (5) drill rigs turning at Douay during Q1/2023 to expedite the 10,000 m deep drilling program.
The Company has now released assay results corresponding to approximately 13,300 m of 2022 drilling across Eagle and Douay, with approximately 10,300 m of additional drilling completed to-date at Eagle and Telbel.
“With five drill rigs actively turning on our Québec projects, the Company remains on track to meet our targeted 2022 drill metreage,” stated Matthew Hornor, President and CEO of Maple Gold. “We look forward to additional results from drilling at Eagle and Telbel and to commencing the deep drill program at Douay to test potential depth extensions below the current pit-constrained mineral resource as soon as drill rigs from Eagle and Telbel become available.”
Deep drilling at Telbel and Douay is being funded by a previously announced C$4.8-million supplemental Year Two JV exploration budget (see news from May 18, 2022). The JV’s additional Year Three (February 2, annual start date) drilling and exploration plans will be designed by the partners in late Q4 2022 and finalized during early Q1 2023.
Pictured above: Multiple drill rigs in action at Eagle as exploration drilling ramps up along the Joutel Mine Complex, which produced 1.1 Moz at 6.5 g/t Au from 1974 – 1993.
Maple Gold Mines Ltd. is a Canadian advanced exploration company in a 50/50 joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited to jointly advance the district-scale Douay and Joutel gold projects located in Québec’s prolific Abitibi Greenstone Gold Belt. The projects benefit from exceptional infrastructure and access and boast ~400 km² of highly prospective ground including an established gold resource at Douay (SLR 2022) that holds significant expansion potential as well as the past-producing Eagle, Telbel and Eagle West mines at Joutel. In addition, the Company holds an exclusive option to acquire 100% of the Eagle Mine Property.
The district-scale property package also hosts a significant number of regional exploration targets along a 55 km strike length of the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone that have yet to be tested through drilling, making the project ripe for new gold and polymetallic discoveries. The Company is well capitalized and is currently focused on carrying out exploration and drill programs to grow resources and make new discoveries to establish an exciting new gold district in the heart of the Abitibi.

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., Dec. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” or the “Company”) today announced the publication of the initial technical report for the Company’s Dayton Consolidated Project. Behre Dolbear authored the independent, initial assessment of the Dayton Consolidated Project mineral resources, as of November 1, 2022, compliant with current SEC S-K 1300 guidelines. The full report is available on the Company’s website, at www.comstock.inc/investors.
The estimated mineral resource is constrained within an open pit economic shell based on a gold price of $1,800 per ounce and reported at a cutoff grade of 0.007 ounce gold per ton. The estimate includes Measured and Indicated resources containing 293,000 ounces of gold and 2,120,000 ounces of silver, plus an additional Inferred resource containing 90,000 ounces of gold and 480,000 ounces of silver.
The Dayton resource is located approximately one mile south of the Company’s Lucerne mining area, along State Route 342 and State Route 341. It includes the historic Dayton, Alhambra, Metropolitan, and Kossuth mines. Additional Comstock exploration areas located northwest, southwest, and south of the Dayton Project include Oest, Amazon Extension of Oest, and Spring Valley, respectively.
The Dayton project has long been known for high grade assays, with gold assays as high as 2.95 ounces per ton, and silver assays as high as 6.68 ounces per ton. Drilling by Comstock has also encountered significant thicknesses of mineralization, including 135 feet averaging 0.218 ounces per ton Au and 0.685 ounces per ton Ag (hole D11-21), 145 feet averaging 0.056 ounces per ton Au and 0.352 ounces per ton Ag (hole D11-33), 50 feet averaging 0.030 ounces per ton Au and 1.072 ounces per ton Ag (hole D94-17), 295 feet averaging 0.027 ounces per ton Au and 0.087 ounces per ton Ag (hole D10-01), and 235 feet averaging 0.031 ounces per ton Au and 0.102 ounces per ton Ag (hole SV12-05).
The report reflects a newly developed geologic model based on highly detailed and methodical identification and correlation of structural and lithological controls for mineralization.
Behre Dolbear’s conclusions include,
The Dayton Project represents an early stage but well-explored, epithermal, precious metal deposit within an historic world-class mining district.
The geology of the project area, particularly in the Dayton resource area, is well described and understood through vigorous surface and underground mapping and drill hole logging.
Based upon drilling, continuity of the mineralized zone appears to be good.
The QP opines that potentially higher-grade mineralization may exist in previously un-drilled areas in the Dayton resource where northeast striking faults intersect.
The deposit is hosted in structurally prepared rocks within the southerly striking east dipping Silver City fault zone extension. Grades and extent of mineralization are enhanced where this fault zone is intersected by north-south, northwest, and northeast striking faults and in particular where N50°E faults intersect N75°E faults.
At Spring Valley, high-grade or bonanza-style mineralization may be present as much of the area is covered by post-mineral gravel and historic mining is minimal.
“These results confirm the quality and growth potential of our Dayton resource,” stated Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s Executive Chairman and CEO. “When combined with the results of the recent technical report published on our Lucerne resource, Comstock controls significant, district-wide mineral resources with outstanding potential for further gold and silver mineral resource growth.”
Comstock plans to develop the Dayton resource systemically, through the deployment of more advanced mineral discovery technologies and a series of phased drilling programs and engineering studies. A first phase of drilling, recommended by Behre Dolbear, includes 70 RC holes totaling 31,500 feet that will, among other objectives, test for high grade mineralization and step out exploration into Spring Valley.

2022 drilling program. The 2022 drill program at E&L tested targets from the 2021 Geotech deep penetrating Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey. Of four holes drilled, two were successful, including Hole EL-22-97b, a deep hole which intersected two intervals of E&L gabbro more than 200 meters down plunge from previous drilling and intersected nickel-bearing disseminated and semi-massive sulphide mineralization. The two successful drill holes are lined with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Garibaldi intends to conduct a geophysical borehole electromagnetic (BHEM) survey to better plan future drill holes.

The Odds May Again be Stacked on the Side of a Prolonged Oil Price Rally
Oil markets and the related energy industry have been cheered this year as the one clear winner, yet within the past few days, crude has brushed up against its low recorded at the start of 2022. The commodity has since bounced, and there are at least four reasons to believe that it will continue to rally.
On Wednesday, November 30, news that China will take steps to ease lockdown restrictions, a drop in U.S. oil supplies, a weaker U.S. dollar, and a signal of OPEC+’s intentions helped push crude prices up by more than 3.5%.
China
Major Chinese manufacturing cities are lifting Covid lockdowns, including the financial hub Shanghai and Zhengzhou (the location of the world’s largest iPhone factory). Renewed expectations that China’s economy may strengthen after being held back by restrictions on movement to contain Covid-19 helped lift prices. After lockdown protests last weekend, Chinese authorities reported fewer cases of the virus on Tuesday. Guangzhou, a city in the south of the country, relaxed some rules on Wednesday. Increased economic activity in China could come at a pace that dramatically increases the demand for oil and related products.
US Supply
U.S. petroleum stockpiles declined by 7.9 million barrels last week, according to reports from the American Petroleum Institute. Official figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) shown below indicate a declining trend that is unsustainable and will soon need to be turned around.

The decline in the days supply is effectively borrowing against future stockpiles as there will need to be a time when this reverses, and more output-increasing stockpiles will add to demand on production.
U.S. Dollar
A weakening dollar has also helped enhance demand globally for crude by making contracts priced in the U.S. currency more affordable for overseas buyers. The dollar index, a measure of strength against a basket of six other major trading currencies, slipped 0.3% on Wednesday. It’s down about 5% in the past month.
While the effect of this FX change may not be felt by U.S. buyers, the added demand by requiring less local currency to translate into dollars effectively creates demand by virtue of its lower cost.

OPEC+
The Saudis had been considering increasing their output to help soften price pressures and increase availability. This would occur when the cartel meets this weekend to decide output levels. It is reported that the meeting will not be in-person. When OPEC+ agrees to meet virtually, it tends to indicate they are not discussing any major changes to output targets.
Expectations of an increase in output had been built into the price; the new expectations are putting upward pressure on crude.
Take Away
A number of factors have caused crude to trade off since late Spring. A number of forces are now stacked up that could push crude levels back upward. These include fewer lockdowns in China, a declining U.S. supply, the added global demand that will be attracted by a weakening dollar, and the new realization that members of OPEC+ are not likely to increase output limits. Additionally, there has been a looming concern as to how much supply will be taken offline with price limits that are to be placed on purchases of Russian oil early next week.
