Assay results yield a few surprises. Assay results were released for four follow-up diamond core holes representing 800.6 meters of drilling around Hole P21-115, a reverse circulation hole that discovered shallow, high-grade oxide gold mineralization just east of the Merritt Zone and north of the historic Pamlico mine. Instead of gold mineralization resembling that observed in Hole P21-115, Holes P21-122 through P21-125 revealed concentric halos of zinc, lead, copper, arsenic, silver, and higher gold values near the center.


Looking through a broader lens.  Information from geophysical work, mapping, and rock and soil sampling point to strong intrusive activity in the southern part of the property, with widespread copper, zinc, silver, and gold mineralization. Coupled with recent diamond drilling, the company appears to be outlining a large-scale polymetallic system …

Sierra Metals Completes Strategic Review Process, Initiates Annual Base Dividend of US$0.03 Per Share and Appoints Two New Directors to Its Board

 

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Sierra Metals Inc. (TSX: SMT) (BVL: SMT) (NYSE AMERICAN: SMTS) (“Sierra Metals” or “the Company”) announces today that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has completed its previously announced review of strategic alternatives.

Based on an extensive review of various alternatives, the Board has determined, in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that maximum value for shareholders will be delivered through the pursuit by the Company of various strategic value-enhancing opportunities.

Within its current assets and diversified extensive resource base, the Company will continue to focus its efforts on growing the production of the metals expected to feed into the anticipated global infrastructure supply demands. The increased focus will apply specifically to copper and steel-making products (zinc and iron ore), with the production of the precious metals as a valuable cost-credit byproduct.

Furthermore, the Company has completed an actionable review of its assets and will consider appropriate further action over the Company’s portfolio of assets. This action could take the form of divestments, joint ventures (“JVs”) or partnerships, and it could include assets such as the Cusi Silver Mine or exploration targets which lie outside the current operating areas.

Sierra Metals believes in the importance of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance and will proceed with a heightened focus on these matters with a view to maintaining the best applicable practices in each of these areas. We strive for excellence in fulfilling our environmental and social duties and responsibilities, ultimately sharing increased wellbeing with our workforce and in the communities where we operate.

The Company will continue with a disciplined capital allocation approach and the use of funds on sustaining and growth projects, using a stringent stage-gate process with a close follow-up on implementation and delivery of projects which include:

• Delivery of current Prefeasibility Studies for mine expansion at our 3 operations, starting with Bolivar Mine, followed by Yauricocha and Cusi.

• Advancing with the inclusion into the Company’s mine plans of certain near-term underground and brownfield mine opportunities with the aim of increasing the return at the Yauricocha and Bolivar Mines.

Following COVID restrictions that limit the Company on its exploration activities, greenfield exploration on our extensive 110,000-hectare land packages will be reactivated in due course to develop new and expanded mineral resource opportunities. The Company will be open to JVs and partnerships for these opportunities.

Jose Vizquerra-Benavides, Chairman of the Board of Sierra Metals, said, “We have reached the end of the strategic review process announced early this year. This process, which has taken longer than usual due to COVID, has been instrumental in highlighting the value of our current operations and the value-enhancing opportunities that are available for development. The process has allowed us to develop a strategy that will guide our efforts for the coming years, including a renewed focus on green and steel-related metals, the inclusion of added value from our current extensive land holdings and shared wellbeing with our stakeholders.”

Luis Marchese, CEO of Sierra Metals, said: “The Company expects to have more robust EBITDA and free cash flow starting next year and carrying on into the coming years. This is a benefit of the recent throughput expansions, which are expected to increase production across our suite of metals, hand in hand with strengthened metal prices based on current consensus metal price projections. Our newly instituted dividend policy has been inaugurated on the back of these positive developments and speaks to our belief in Company and our ability to deliver on our growth initiatives. Over the past several years, we have made significant changes across the organization, streamlining our business, strengthening our team, optimizing our operations, and driving much-improved financial performance. Our operations have not only proven themselves to be quite resilient in these uncertain times, but we also expect to emerge from the pandemic and the strategic review process as a significantly stronger Company with a strong focus on growth and value creation for all shareholders as we execute our strategy.”

Annual Dividend

In addition, the Board has authorized the payment of an annual dividend to consist of a base dividend of US$5 million or US$0.03 per share plus an additional amount based on available cash flows generated each year after accounting for planned capital spending, distributions to non-controlling interests, greenfield exploration and mandatory debt service. The initial dividend is expected to be declared in November 2021 and paid to shareholders in December 2021. Additional details of this dividend will be provided in a subsequent press release.

Appointment of New Directors

Palladium One Continues to Deliver Strong Drilling Results at Kaukua South, Finland

 

3.1 g/t Palladium Equivalent over 21.3 meters, within 2.4 g/t Palladium Equivalent over 48.5 meters at Kaukua South, LK Project, Finland

Drilling extends mineralization 200 meters on eastern side of Kaukua South, returning 1.0 g/t Palladium Equivalent over 51.0 meters

October 5, 2021 – Toronto, Ontario – Palladium One Mining Inc. (“Palladium One” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PDM, FRA: 7N11, OTC: NKORF) is pleased to announce Kaukua South drillhole LK21-088 intersected 3.1 g/t Palladium Equivalent (“Pd_Eq”) over 21.3 meters, within 2.4 g/t Pd_Eq over 48.5 meters, starting at 120 meters depth (Figure 1, and 2).

Additionally, with hole LK-21-087 returning 1.0 g/t Pd_Eq over 51.0 meters the mineralized zone of Kaukua South has been extended 200 meters east from previous drilling, (Figure 3). In aggregate, the Kaukua Trend which includes both the Kaukua deposit and the Kaukua South Zone, now boasts a drill defined mineralized strike length of 4.4 kilometers within a 7-kilometer-long Induced Polarization (“IP”) chargeability anomaly (Figure 1 and 3). Hole LK21-087 confirms that the eastern portion of the Kaukua Trend remains open for further expansion, particularly given a robust IP anomaly has been identified 1 kilometer east of hole LK21-087, see news release July 7, 2021.

Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO of Palladium One highlighted: “Our Kaukua South discovery continues to deliver excellent results. Today’s drill results from the eastern portion of the Kaukua Trend is further evidence of a prolific mineralized system on our property which we plan to follow up with additional drilling.”

The eastern portion of Kaukua South has received significantly less drilling as we are focused on brining the western two kilometers of Kaukua South to a maiden Resource Estimate and expanding the initial 2019 Kaukua Mineral Resource Estimate. The eastern portion of Kaukua South has returned significant results in the past, such as hole LK20-017 which returned 1.56 g/t Pd_Eq over 22.2 meters (0.22 g/t Pd, 0.05 g/t Pt, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.32% Cu, 0.20% Ni, 119 ppm Co), see October 22, 2020. Today’s announcement of hole LK21-087, is the furthest step-out hole drilled to the east at Kaukua South which when combined with the strong IP anomalies indicate a strong potential to add additional resources along the eastern extension of the Kaukua Trend.

Figure 1. Historic and current drilling in the Kaukua and Western portion of the Kaukau South area having a drill data cut off date of September 4, 2021 (hole LK21-128), assays have been received for holes up to LK21-088, the rest are pending. Background is Induced Polarization (“IP”) Chargeability.

TORONTO, Oct. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bunker Hill Mining Corp. (the “Company”) (CSE: BNKR, OTCQB: BHLL) is pleased to announce its intention to enter into a joint venture with MineWater Finance LLC (“MineWater”) to explore the mineral potential of the London gold mine, and the surrounding district, in Colorado, USA. London Mining District produced gold and silver from 1875 to 1942, including over 650,000 gold ounces from the London Mine.

Sam Ash, CEO of Bunker Hill Mining, stated: “We are delighted to announce this partnership with MineWater to explore the prospective London Mining District in Colorado. This aligns with our strategy to grow the value of our company via the regeneration of closed and undervalued precious metals assets in North America in ways that leverage advanced mining, governance and sustainability practices. This partnership combines Bunker Hill’s mining expertise with MineWater’s superb track record of environmental remediation and stewardship, which is key to sustainably revitalizing historic mining districts. While our near-term focus and capital allocation priority continues to be the rapid restart of the Bunker Hill Mine, and its subsequent organic development, we are very excited to add this new option to our North American value-creation pipeline.”

TRANSACTION OVERVIEW AND BACKGROUND

The Company has signed a term sheet to enter into a joint venture with MineWater, the current owner of the London Mine and associated land package totaling over 3,000 acres of patented ground. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the option to invest up to US$3 million over a four-year period to earn a 50% ownership position in the joint venture. Upon completion of the definitive agreement, a Board of Directors will be formed to govern the joint venture, to be comprised of 3 members to be appointed by the Company, and 2 members to be appointed by MineWater.

MineWater acquired the surface, mineral and water rights to the London Mining District in 2016 in exchange for performing environmental remediation of the site that improved water quality to meet regulatory requirements. By 2017, the State of Colorado declared the remediation work successful.

MineWater LLC, the sister company of MineWater Finance LLC, performed the environmental remediation work at the London Mine, where it has also developed water resources subsequently purchased by the City of Aurora. Remediation, coupled with dewatering of the London Mine, has been highly beneficial to the environmental status of Mosquito Creek as shown by the EPA (NPDES) publicly available database. MineWater LLC was founded in 2016 by Joseph Harrington, who has been awarded 6 US patents for environmental technologies to address in situ metals immobilization in underground mines, pit lakes and groundwater impacted by mining. Using these patents and other technologies, MineWater LLC solves water issues related to mine sites, particularly arising from the mobility of dissolved heavy metals. Prior to their work at London Mine, the principals of MineWater LLC successfully remediated the Globe Smelter Superfund Site in Denver, Colorado. MineWater has also developed water treatment plants for emergency response programs at the Gold King Mine and the Captain Jack Mill/Big 5 Mines Complex, both US EPA Superfund Sites in Colorado, USA, and is currently designing the in-mine water treatment system at the Bunker Hill Mine.

The agreement remains subject to final definitive documentation and due diligence and is expected to close by the end of 2021.

LONDON MINE AND DISTRICT OVERVIEW

Located approximately 70 miles southwest of Denver, Colorado in Park County, the London Mine lies at an elevation of 11,000’ up south Mosquito Creek from the town of Alma. The London Mine sits in the heart of the Colorado Mineral Belt, the prolific lineament stretching NE to SW across the state and is directly adjacent to the historic Leadville mining district. The Climax molybdenum mine is located just 5 miles north of the London mine workings and many of the same district scale structural features can be traced between the properties.

Figure 1: Satellite image showing close proximity of London Mining District to the Leadville and Climax Mining Districts

The London mine had been in full production from 1875 to 1942, producing over 650,000 gold ounces from more than 3km of strike length on multiple gold-quartz vein structures. Production ceased due to metals prices and government production restrictions related to the War Powers Act. Small-scale mining operations continued after the cessation of WWII through the end of the 1970’s and exploration activities were undertaken through 1991, when the exploration agreement on the property was finally dropped by Lessees.

Exploration interest during the 1980’s saw numerous groups operating programs across the district and their work laid the basis for developing a historic reserve (non-NI 43-101 compliant) estimate on the Property of roughly 120koz Au as Proven and Probable Reserves with an additional 101koz Au as Possible Reserves in 1987 by Cobb Resources and Chrome Corp (operating as the London Mine Joint Venture), a former Lessee (the “1987 reserves”). All majority of the 1987 reserves are contained within the historic London Mine footprint and are potentially accessible from existing development.

The Company believes the 1987 reserve estimate reflects mineralization across the land package associated with the joint venture. The 1987 reserve estimate is historic in nature and does not reflect the classification standards associated with NI 43-101. The Company also notes that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral reserves under NI 43-101, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as such. Confirmatory geologic drilling and sampling are required to verify the mineralization contained within the historical reserve estimate as an NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource.

Through the investigation of historical exploration and production reports, the Company has identified 3 main zones to target with future exploration. From north to south, these are the Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu (Base-Metal Sulphide) Replacement area, West London exploration area and the South Butte veins. Each of the 3 zones represent different styles of mineralization and warrant separate exploration methodologies. The shallow nature of the northern base-metal sulphide replacement zone and the Au breccias of the West London area allow for surface drill operations and are deposit styles with previously proven geophysical responses in the District.   MineWater is planning for separate tunnel development efforts over the next 2 years targeting the West London Zone for synergistic mineral and water resource development. This planned effort will save the JV costs and place underground workings directly beneath historic high grade gold mineralized intercepts.

Figure 2: Map showing the London Mine land package and identified exploration target areas.

The South Butte area is a direct extension of known vein structures from the Butte Mine. Results from a 1988 exploration mapping and drilling program proved the down-plunge extension of Au mineralization beyond historic workings which remains open both along strike, over 7,000’ of patented ground to the south, and also at depth. The relatively recent rehabilitation work on historic development will allow for rapid re-entry to the area and continuation of exploration drilling.

Figure 3: Section view through the London Mine showing depth profile and location of identified exploration zones relative to historic development.

Similar to work already completed at the Bunker Hill Mine, the next steps will be to compile and geo-reference historic data on the property into 3D space. Modeling historic workings and drill data related to the London Mine across the district will allow for more detailed exploration drill planning and remote sensing program assignments to be ready for future field seasons.

Wilson, CPG, President of Resource Development Associates Inc. and a consultant to the Company, is an Independent “Qualified Person” as defined by NI 43-101 and is acting at the Qualified Person for the Company.

MineWater has also developed water treatment plants for emergency response programs at the Gold King Mine and the Captain Jack Mill/Big 5 Mines Complex, both US EPA Superfund Sites in Colorado, USA, and is currently designing the in-mine water treatment system at the Bunker Hill Mine.

The agreement remains subject to final definitive documentation and due diligence and is expected to close by the end of 2021.

LONDON MINE AND DISTRICT OVERVIEW

Located approximately 70 miles southwest of Denver, Colorado in Park County, the London Mine lies at an elevation of 11,000’ up south Mosquito Creek from the town of Alma. The London Mine sits in the heart of the Colorado Mineral Belt, the prolific lineament stretching NE to SW across the state and is directly adjacent to the historic Leadville mining district. The Climax molybdenum mine is located just 5 miles north of the London mine workings and many of the same district scale structural features can be traced between the properties.

The London mine had been in full production from 1875 to 1942, producing over 650,000 gold ounces from more than 3km of strike length on multiple gold-quartz vein structures. Production ceased due to metals prices and government production restrictions related to the War Powers Act. Small-scale mining operations continued after the cessation of WWII through the end of the 1970’s and exploration activities were undertaken through 1991, when the exploration agreement on the property was finally dropped by Lessees.

Exploration interest during the 1980’s saw numerous groups operating programs across the district and their work laid the basis for developing a historic reserve (non-NI 43-101 compliant) estimate on the Property of roughly 120koz Au as Proven and Probable Reserves with an additional 101koz Au as Possible Reserves in 1987 by Cobb Resources and Chrome Corp (operating as the London Mine Joint Venture), a former Lessee (the “1987 reserves”). All majority of the 1987 reserves are contained within the historic London Mine footprint and are potentially accessible from existing development.

The Company believes the 1987 reserve estimate reflects mineralization across the land package associated with the joint venture. The 1987 reserve estimate is historic in nature and does not reflect the classification standards associated with NI 43-101. The Company also notes that a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral reserves under NI 43-101, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as such. Confirmatory geologic drilling and sampling are required to verify the mineralization contained within the historical reserve estimate as an NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource.

Through the investigation of historical exploration and production reports, the Company has identified 3 main zones to target with future exploration. From north to south, these are the Ag-Pb-Zn-Cu (Base-Metal Sulphide) Replacement area, West London exploration area and the South Butte veins. Each of the 3 zones represent different styles of mineralization and warrant separate exploration methodologies. The shallow nature of the northern base-metal sulphide replacement zone and the Au breccias of the West London area allow for surface drill operations and are deposit styles with previously proven geophysical responses in the District.   MineWater is planning for separate tunnel development efforts over the next 2 years targeting the West London Zone for synergistic mineral and water resource development. This planned effort will save the JV costs and place underground workings directly beneath historic high grade gold mineralized intercepts.

Figure 2: Map showing the London Mine land package and identified exploration target areas.

The South Butte area is a direct extension of known vein structures from the Butte Mine. Results from a 1988 exploration mapping and drilling program proved the down-plunge extension of Au mineralization beyond historic workings which remains open both along strike, over 7,000’ of patented ground to the south, and also at depth. The relatively recent rehabilitation work on historic development will allow for rapid re-entry to the area and continuation of exploration drilling.

Figure 3: Section view through the London Mine showing depth profile and location of identified exploration zones relative to historic development.

Similar to work already completed at the Bunker Hill Mine, the next steps will be to compile and geo-reference historic data on the property into 3D space. Modeling historic workings and drill data related to the London Mine across the district will allow for more detailed exploration drill planning and remote sensing program assignments to be ready for future field seasons.

Palladium One Continues to Deliver Strong Drilling Results at Kaukua South, Finland

 

3.1 g/t Palladium Equivalent over 21.3 meters, within 2.4 g/t Palladium Equivalent over 48.5 meters at Kaukua South, LK Project, Finland

Drilling extends mineralization 200 meters on eastern side of Kaukua South, returning 1.0 g/t Palladium Equivalent over 51.0 meters

October 5, 2021 – Toronto, Ontario – Palladium One Mining Inc. (“Palladium One” or the “Company”) (TSXV: PDM, FRA: 7N11, OTC: NKORF) is pleased to announce Kaukua South drillhole LK21-088 intersected 3.1 g/t Palladium Equivalent (“Pd_Eq”) over 21.3 meters, within 2.4 g/t Pd_Eq over 48.5 meters, starting at 120 meters depth (Figure 1, and 2).

Additionally, with hole LK-21-087 returning 1.0 g/t Pd_Eq over 51.0 meters the mineralized zone of Kaukua South has been extended 200 meters east from previous drilling, (Figure 3). In aggregate, the Kaukua Trend which includes both the Kaukua deposit and the Kaukua South Zone, now boasts a drill defined mineralized strike length of 4.4 kilometers within a 7-kilometer-long Induced Polarization (“IP”) chargeability anomaly (Figure 1 and 3). Hole LK21-087 confirms that the eastern portion of the Kaukua Trend remains open for further expansion, particularly given a robust IP anomaly has been identified 1 kilometer east of hole LK21-087, see news release July 7, 2021.

Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO of Palladium One highlighted: “Our Kaukua South discovery continues to deliver excellent results. Today’s drill results from the eastern portion of the Kaukua Trend is further evidence of a prolific mineralized system on our property which we plan to follow up with additional drilling.”

The eastern portion of Kaukua South has received significantly less drilling as we are focused on brining the western two kilometers of Kaukua South to a maiden Resource Estimate and expanding the initial 2019 Kaukua Mineral Resource Estimate. The eastern portion of Kaukua South has returned significant results in the past, such as hole LK20-017 which returned 1.56 g/t Pd_Eq over 22.2 meters (0.22 g/t Pd, 0.05 g/t Pt, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.32% Cu, 0.20% Ni, 119 ppm Co), see October 22, 2020. Today’s announcement of hole LK21-087, is the furthest step-out hole drilled to the east at Kaukua South which when combined with the strong IP anomalies indicate a strong potential to add additional resources along the eastern extension of the Kaukua Trend.

Figure 1. Historic and current drilling in the Kaukua and Western portion of the Kaukau South area having a drill data cut off date of September 4, 2021 (hole LK21-128), assays have been received for holes up to LK21-088, the rest are pending. Background is Induced Polarization (“IP”) Chargeability.
