Release – Great Bear Reports 95.2% to 99.2% Gold Recoveries in Preliminary LP Fault Metallurgical Tests


Great Bear Reports 95.2% to 99.2% Gold Recoveries in Preliminary LP Fault Metallurgical Tests – Gold is Free Milling and Readily Soluble at All Grades

October 25, 2021
– Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
– Great Bear Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Great Bear”, TSX-V: GBR; OTCQX: GTBAF) today reported gold recovery test results from its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project, in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, “We selected what were anticipated to be the ‘most difficult’ mineralized domains to extract gold from at the LP Fault, and are pleased to report very high gold recoveries at all grades.  This has strong positive implications for the future development potential of the Dixie project.  Similar very high gold recoveries from the Dixie Limb and Hinge zones using comparable grinding and cyanidation protocols indicates mineralized material
from all gold zones is likely amenable to processing through the same
extraction circuits
.  Initial LP Fault cyanidation gold recovery tests confirm that non-refractory,
free gold
dominates all low to high-grade domains tested to-date.  All Dixie gold zones have excellent potential for significant gravity circuit gold recoveries, which will be investigated in the next phase of metallurgical testing.”

Highlights of Gold
Recovery Results

Ten one kilogram representative samples were analyzed at Blue Coast Research Ltd. (“Blue Coast”) of Parksville, British Columbia (Table 1).  Samples were composited from 10 to 13 metre long core intervals and were processed through a standard 48 hour bottle roll procedure at 40% solids, using a 1.0 g/L sodium cyanide solution.

  • All tested combinations of
    grades, host rocks, sulphide content and alteration styles recovered a
    very high percentage of total gold, within a four percent range from 95.2%
    to 99.2%.
      While high-grade gold samples recovered the highest percentage of total gold during cyanidation, sub-gram low-grade gold mineralization nonetheless achieved excellent recoveries of greater than 95 percent.  Table
    2
    and Figure
    1
    .
  • LP Fault gold mineralization is
    not refractory. 
    All samples, regardless of grade, were described as “free-milling”, indicating gold is not encapsulated in sulphide accessory minerals.  Free gold mineralization has repeatedly been observed and reported by Great Bear, including during petrographic/microscope analysis (see news release of September 22, 2020).

Ongoing Metallurgical Testing
The samples reported here represent the most
mineralogically complex
intervals drilled to date at the LP Fault and have higher accessory sulphide content than the zone’s average.  In most gold deposits, zones with higher sulphide content have lower gold recoveries than zones with lower sulphide content.

  • Accessory sulphide content had
    no measurable effect on gold recoveries
    , confirming that gold is not present within sulphide mineral crystal structures.
  • Autoclave processing will not
    be required
    for LP Fault mineralized material.

Additional gold recovery testing of low-sulphide material is now also
underway, which is expected to yield comparable high gold recoveries
.

  • Great Bear management notes that current cyanidation gold recovery results are in line with the high reported operational gold recoveries at mines in the Red Lake district, which generally recover +90%.
  • Ongoing testing also includes “gold-only” LP Fault mineralization such as that observed within high-grade intervals in LP Fault discovery drill hole DNW-011 (see news release of May 28, 2019) where gold is observed without significant accessory sulphides in many samples.   In most gold deposits, gold-only mineralization yields the highest gold recoveries.

Gravity gold recovery circuits are important, low-cost components of many gold processing operations.  Due to the free gold character of all grade ranges of LP Fault mineralization, the mineralized material is expected
to be amenable to gravity-based gold separation
.  Gravity amenability is currently being tested by Great Bear.

Results of ongoing metallurgical testing will be reported periodically as completed through 2022.

Gold recoveries from the
Hinge and Dixie Limb zones
were originally disclosed by the Company on November 12, 2020 and January 27, 2021, and are provided in Table 3.

About the Dixie Project

The 100% owned flagship Dixie project boasts one of the largest recent gold discoveries in a Canadian mining jurisdiction.  Proximal to major infrastructure near the town of Red Lake, Ontario, the Dixie property comprises over 91.4 square kilometres of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres with a paved highway and provincial power and natural gas lines.  The property also hosts a network of well-maintained logging roads which facilitate access.

The 23 high-grade domains discussed in this release are structurally and geologically distinctive from the surrounding lower grade, bulk tonnage style gold mineralization.  Together, they span a strike length of 4.2 kilometres and occur within larger stratigraphically controlled lower grade domains.  They are characterized by high degrees of strain and/or transposed quartz vein zones following two distinct structural fabrics and  transition from upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies metamorphism.  Gold in the high-grade domains is generally observed as free gold, is often transposed into, and overgrows the dominant structural fabrics, and is higher-grade on average than the surrounding bulk tonnage gold zones.

To date, Great Bear has completed a total of 672 drill holes, identifying three high-grade gold discoveries.  The most significant discovery is the large-scale “LP Fault” zone, which comprises high-grade disseminated gold mineralization within broad moderate-to-lower-grade envelopes in felsic volcanic and sediment units.  LP Fault drilling has identified gold mineralization along 11 kilometres of strike length to date, and a detailed drill grid is being completed along approximately 4 kilometres of strike length.  The nearby “Hinge” and “Limb” gold zones are more characteristic of the renowned Red Lake mined deposits, comprising gold-bearing quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones hosted by mafic volcanic units.  Over 80% of the Company’s drill holes into the LP Fault, Dixie Limb and Hinge zones contain visible gold mineralization.  Gold occurs mainly as free gold, neither bound to nor within sulphide minerals.

Great Bear adheres to industry-leading quality assurance / quality control (QA/QC) practices in data collection, analysis and disclosure, and detailed assays including all historical LP Fault drill hole data are available on the Company’s website at https://greatbearresources.ca/projects/overview/dixie-project-data/.

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a Vancouver-based gold exploration company focused on advancing its 100% owned Dixie project in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.  A significant exploration drill program is currently underway to define the mineralization within a large-scale, high-grade disseminated gold discovery made in 2019, the LP Fault.  Additional exploration drilling is also in progress to expand and infill nearby high-grade gold zones, as well as to test new regional targets.  The Company is currently in the process of compiling all historical data together with incoming assay results, with the goal of publishing an initial NI 43-101 compliant multi-million ounce mineral resource estimate for the Dixie project in early 2022. 

Great Bear is a committed partner to all stakeholders, with a long-term vision of sustainable exploration to advance the Dixie project in a manner that demonstrates good stewardship of land, operational excellence and accountability.

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.

About FenixOro Gold Corp.

FenixOro Gold Corp is a Canadian company focused on acquiring and exploring gold projects with world class exploration potential in the most prolific gold producing regions of Colombia. FenixOro’s flagship property, the Abriaqui project, is the closest project to Continental Gold’s Buritica project. It is located 15 km to the west in Antioquia State at the northern end of the Mid-Cauca gold belt, a geological trend which has seen multiple large gold discoveries in the past 10 years including Buritica and Anglo Gold’s Nuevo Chaquiro and La Colosa. As documented in “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Abriaqui project Antioquia State, Colombia” (December 5, 2019), the geological characteristics of Abriaqui and Buritica are similar. Since the preparation of this report a Phase 1 drilling program has been completed at Abriaqui resulting in a significant discovery of a high grade, “Buritica style” gold deposit. A Phase 2 drilling program has recently commenced.

FenixOro’s VP of Exploration, Stuart Moller, led the discovery team at Buritica for Continental Gold in 2007-2011.

About FenixOro Gold Corp.

FenixOro Gold Corp is a Canadian company focused on acquiring and exploring gold projects with world class exploration potential in the most prolific gold producing regions of Colombia. FenixOro’s flagship property, the Abriaqui project, is the closest project to Continental Gold’s Buritica project. It is located 15 km to the west in Antioquia State at the northern end of the Mid-Cauca gold belt, a geological trend which has seen multiple large gold discoveries in the past 10 years including Buritica and Anglo Gold’s Nuevo Chaquiro and La Colosa. As documented in “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Abriaqui project Antioquia State, Colombia” (December 5, 2019), the geological characteristics of Abriaqui and Buritica are similar. Since the preparation of this report a Phase 1 drilling program has been completed at Abriaqui resulting in a significant discovery of a high grade, “Buritica style” gold deposit. A Phase 2 drilling program has recently commenced.

FenixOro’s VP of Exploration, Stuart Moller, led the discovery team at Buritica for Continental Gold in 2007-2011. At the time of its latest public report, the Buritica Mine contains measured plus indicated resources of 5.32 million ounces of gold (16.02 Mt grading 10.32 g/t) plus a 6.02 million ounce inferred resource (21.87 Mt grading 8.56 g/t) for a total of 11.34 million ounces of gold resources Buritica began formal production in November 2020 and has expected annual average production of 250,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of approximately US$600 per ounce. Resources, cost and production data are taken from Continental Gold’s “NI 43-101 Buritica Mineral Resource 2019-01, Antioquia, Colombia, 18 March, 2019”).

Sierra Metals (SMTS)(SMT:CA)
Third Quarter Production Impacted by Transitory Operational Challenges

As of April 24, 2020, Noble Capital Markets research on Sierra Metals is published under ticker symbols (SMTS and SMT:CA). The price target is in USD and based on ticker symbol SMTS. Research reports dated prior to April 24, 2020 may not follow these guidelines and could account for a variance in the price target.

Sierra Metals Inc is a precious and base metals producer in Latin America. The company acquires, explores, extracts, and produces mineral concentrates consisting of silver, copper, lead, zinc and gold in Mexico and Peru. Its activity includes the operation of the Yauricocha Mine in Peru, and the Bolivar and Cusi mines in Mexico. Yauricocha is an underground polymetallic mine using the sublevel block caving and cut-and-fill mining methods. Bolivar is a copper-silver-zinc-gold underground mine using room-and-pillar mining method. The majority of the revenue is earned by selling of the mineral concentrates to its customers in Peru.

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.

    SMTS reports third quarter production results. During the third quarter, Sierra Metals produced 8.3 million pounds of copper, 7.8 million pounds of lead, 19.1 million pounds of zinc, 2.3 thousand ounces of gold, and 807 thousand ounces of silver. Compared with the prior year period, third quarter production of copper, lead, zinc, gold, and silver declined 32.1%, 20.4%, 23.1%, 43.3%, and 21.1%. Sequentially, production fell 13.4%, 1.5%, 9.6%, 19.6%, and 15.4%, respectively. Production was hindered by the inability to develop higher grade ore sources during the pandemic, unexpected equipment unavailability, and operational constraints at the Cusi mine due to high temperatures. While these issues are expected to be temporary, management now expects 2021 production to be at the low end of its guidance.

    Updating estimates.  We are lowering our 2021 EPS and EBITDA estimates to $0.25 and $127.6 million from $0.30 and $137.5 million, respectively, to reflect lower full year production. While our EBITDA estimate is modestly below guidance, there may offsets we haven’t considered and we think upside may exist for our fourth quarter estimates. We also trimmed our 2022 EPS and EBITDA estimates to …

Release – Sierra Metals Reports Third-Quarter 2021 Production Results


Sierra Metals Reports Third-Quarter 2021 Production Results, Expecting To Meet Low End Of Revised Annual Production Guidance As The Production Ramps Up To Full Capacity At All Three Mines

 

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Sierra Metals Inc. (TSX: SMT) (BVL: SMT) (NYSE AMERICAN: SMTS) (“Sierra Metals” or “the Company”) is pleased to report third-quarter 2021 production results.

Results are from Sierra Metals’ three underground mines in Latin America: The Yauricocha polymetallic mine in Peru, and the Bolivar copper and Cusi silver Mines in Mexico.

Third Quarter 2021 Consolidated Production Results

  • Copper production of 8.3 million pounds; a 32% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Zinc production of 19.1 million pounds; a 23% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Silver production of 0.8 million ounces; a 21% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Lead production of 7.8 million pounds; a 20% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Gold production of 2,261 ounces; a 43% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Copper equivalent production of 21.9 million pounds; a 38% decrease from Q3 2020

Luis Marchese, CEO of Sierra Metals, commented: “The third quarter has been particularly difficult for the Company. It has presented us with tough challenges arising from sequencing issues due to the COVID-19 limitations over the last year, as well as unexpected equipment availability issues that impacted throughput, head grades and recoveries, particularly at the Bolivar Mine. Additionally, during the quarter, Cusi presented operational limitations caused by high temperatures at the available mineable areas. However, these issues are temporary in nature, and we expect to meet the lower end of the revised annual production guidance.

He continued, “With the strategic review now completed, we can now focus all of our efforts on stabilizing our operations to their full potential. We see improved workforce and contractor availability which should allow us to catch up on the development and preparation of higher grade stopes for inclusion into the mine plan in the coming quarters. We have reinitiated work on a backlog of accumulated sustaining infrastructure projects as well as on exploration from our brownfield drilling programs which are expected to improve the quality and tonnage of our mineral resources. We also expect to publish the Preliminary Feasibility Study for Bolivar by year end, followed by Q1 2022 for Yauricocha and Cusi by Q2 2022, which support planned throughput growth at the mines.”

He concluded, “Despite the difficult challenges encountered this year, the quality of the resource base at our three mines underpins an improved outlook for the Company. With a renewed focus and refined strategy, we expect to continue on a path of striving for production growth while optimizing and improving operations with a goal of cost reduction as we complete this year and continue into 2022, which will benefit all stakeholders in the Company.”

As such, the anticipated annual production is expected to be in the guidance range.

Yauricocha Mine, Peru

Operating at an average daily ore throughput rate of 3,705 tpd (calculated for the number of operating days) during Q3 2021, the Yauricocha mine processed 324,196 tonnes which is a 2% increase compared to Q3 2020.

Grades for all metals were lower for the quarter due to the sequencing of mining with more ore coming from the Esperanza and Cachi Cachi zone, which are concentrated copper sulphide zones versus polymetallic zones, which contain more zinc and lead. As a result, during Q3 2021, mining operations focused on these larger but lower-grade ore bodies. As a result, recoveries for all metals, except gold, were negatively impacted by the lower head grades.

Bolivar Mine, Mexico

The Bolivar Mine processed 364,941 tonnes in Q3 2021, or a decrease of 11% from the 410,468 tonnes processed in Q3 2020, due to the low availability of equipment, including mining scoops during the quarter. The average daily ore throughput realized during the quarter was approximately 4,171 tpd. Head grades were impacted by a COVID-induced lag on development and infill drilling, which resulted in changes of the mining sequence, as well as dilution issues, which are being corrected. The 11% decrease in throughput combined with lower head grades and recoveries for all metals resulted in a 55% decrease in copper equivalent pounds produced during Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2020. In Q3 2021, copper production decreased by 46% to 3.6 million pounds, silver production decreased 52% to 95 thousand ounces, and gold production decreased 67% to 899 ounces compared to Q3 2020.

Silver equivalent production for Q3 2020 was 306 thousand ounces or a 7% decline from Q3 2020, resulting from lower throughput and 5% lower silver head grades partially offset by 3% higher recoveries as compared to Q3 2020. The decline in silver grades resulted from the inability to operate in some of the targeted higher grade zones due to issues related to excessive underground water and heat. A newly driven raise bore and upgraded pumping system were installed during the quarter allowing access to these areas.

Silver production decreased 14% to 261 thousand ounces, gold production increased 12% to 193 ounces, and lead production increased 128% to 0.7 million pounds in Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2020.

Sierra Metals Reports Third-Quarter 2021 Production Results, Expecting To Meet Low End Of Revised Annual Production Guidance As The Production Ramps Up To Full Capacity At All Three Mines


Sierra Metals Reports Third-Quarter 2021 Production Results, Expecting To Meet Low End Of Revised Annual Production Guidance As The Production Ramps Up To Full Capacity At All Three Mines

 

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Sierra Metals Inc. (TSX: SMT) (BVL: SMT) (NYSE AMERICAN: SMTS) (“Sierra Metals” or “the Company”) is pleased to report third-quarter 2021 production results.

Results are from Sierra Metals’ three underground mines in Latin America: The Yauricocha polymetallic mine in Peru, and the Bolivar copper and Cusi silver Mines in Mexico.

Third Quarter 2021 Consolidated Production Results

  • Copper production of 8.3 million pounds; a 32% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Zinc production of 19.1 million pounds; a 23% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Silver production of 0.8 million ounces; a 21% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Lead production of 7.8 million pounds; a 20% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Gold production of 2,261 ounces; a 43% decrease from Q3 2020
  • Copper equivalent production of 21.9 million pounds; a 38% decrease from Q3 2020

Luis Marchese, CEO of Sierra Metals, commented: “The third quarter has been particularly difficult for the Company. It has presented us with tough challenges arising from sequencing issues due to the COVID-19 limitations over the last year, as well as unexpected equipment availability issues that impacted throughput, head grades and recoveries, particularly at the Bolivar Mine. Additionally, during the quarter, Cusi presented operational limitations caused by high temperatures at the available mineable areas. However, these issues are temporary in nature, and we expect to meet the lower end of the revised annual production guidance.

He continued, “With the strategic review now completed, we can now focus all of our efforts on stabilizing our operations to their full potential. We see improved workforce and contractor availability which should allow us to catch up on the development and preparation of higher grade stopes for inclusion into the mine plan in the coming quarters. We have reinitiated work on a backlog of accumulated sustaining infrastructure projects as well as on exploration from our brownfield drilling programs which are expected to improve the quality and tonnage of our mineral resources. We also expect to publish the Preliminary Feasibility Study for Bolivar by year end, followed by Q1 2022 for Yauricocha and Cusi by Q2 2022, which support planned throughput growth at the mines.”

He concluded, “Despite the difficult challenges encountered this year, the quality of the resource base at our three mines underpins an improved outlook for the Company. With a renewed focus and refined strategy, we expect to continue on a path of striving for production growth while optimizing and improving operations with a goal of cost reduction as we complete this year and continue into 2022, which will benefit all stakeholders in the Company.”

Yauricocha Mine, Peru

Operating at an average daily ore throughput rate of 3,705 tpd (calculated for the number of operating days) during Q3 2021, the Yauricocha mine processed 324,196 tonnes which is a 2% increase compared to Q3 2020.

Grades for all metals were lower for the quarter due to the sequencing of mining with more ore coming from the Esperanza and Cachi Cachi zone, which are concentrated copper sulphide zones versus polymetallic zones, which contain more zinc and lead. As a result, during Q3 2021, mining operations focused on these larger but lower-grade ore bodies. As a result, recoveries for all metals, except gold, were negatively impacted by the lower head grades.

Bolivar Mine, Mexico

The Bolivar Mine processed 364,941 tonnes in Q3 2021, or a decrease of 11% from the 410,468 tonnes processed in Q3 2020, due to the low availability of equipment, including mining scoops during the quarter. The average daily ore throughput realized during the quarter was approximately 4,171 tpd. Head grades were impacted by a COVID-induced lag on development and infill drilling, which resulted in changes of the mining sequence, as well as dilution issues, which are being corrected. The 11% decrease in throughput combined with lower head grades and recoveries for all metals resulted in a 55% decrease in copper equivalent pounds produced during Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2020. In Q3 2021, copper production decreased by 46% to 3.6 million pounds, silver production decreased 52% to 95 thousand ounces, and gold production decreased 67% to 899 ounces compared to Q3 2020.

Cusi Mine, Mexico

The Cusi mine processed 61,071 tonnes during Q3 2021, which is a 13% decrease as compared to Q3 2020. Silver equivalent production for Q3 2020 was 306 thousand ounces or a 7% decline from Q3 2020, resulting from lower throughput and 5% lower silver head grades partially offset by 3% higher recoveries as compared to Q3 2020. The decline in silver grades resulted from the inability to operate in some of the targeted higher grade zones due to issues related to excessive underground water and heat. A newly driven raise bore and upgraded pumping system were installed during the quarter allowing access to these areas.

Silver production decreased 14% to 261 thousand ounces, gold production increased 12% to 193 ounces, and lead production increased 128% to 0.7 million pounds in Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2020.

About FenixOro Gold Corp.

FenixOro Gold Corp is a Canadian company focused on acquiring and exploring gold projects with world class exploration potential in the most prolific gold producing regions of Colombia. FenixOro’s flagship property, the Abriaqui project, is located 15 km west of Continental Gold’s Buritica project in Antioquia State at the northern end of the Mid-Cauca gold belt, a geological trend which has seen multiple large gold discoveries in the past 10 years including Buritica and Anglo Gold’s Nuevo Chaquiro and La Colosa. As documented in “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Abriaqui project Antioquia State, Colombia” (December 5, 2019), the geological characteristics of Abriaqui and Buritica are similar. The report also documents the high gold grade at Abriaqui with samples taken from 20 of the veins assaying greater than 20 g/t gold. Since the preparation of this report a Phase 1 drilling program has been completed at Abriaqui resulting in a significant discovery of a high grade, “Buritica style” gold deposit. A Phase 2 drilling program has recently commenced. FenixOro’s VP of Exploration, Stuart Moller, led the discovery team at Buritica for Continental Gold in 2007-2011. At the time of its latest public report, the Buritica Mine contains measured plus indicated resources of 5.32 million ounces of gold (16.02 Mt grading 10.32 g/t) plus a 6.02 million ounce inferred resource (21.87 Mt grading 8.56 g/t) for a total of 11.34 million ounces of gold resources. Buritica began formal production in November 2020 and has expected annual average production of 250,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of approximately US$600 per ounce. Resources, cost and production data are taken from Continental Gold’s “NI 43-101 Buritica Mineral Resource 2019-01, Antioquia, Colombia, 18 March, 2019”). Continental Gold was recently the subject of a takeover by Zijin Mining in an all-cash transaction valued at C$1.4 billion.
