On the second hole at Tatasham. Drilling began at the Tatasham porphyry copper target in late November. Drilling is expected to continue through this month. Aurania is on the second hole at Tatasham and expects to drill three or four holes to test areas identified during the company’s Anaconda mapping program. Following Tatasham, the company anticipates drilling at the Awacha porphyry copper target.
Surprising outcome on the first hole. While no assays have been received from rock samples or drilling, the first hole intersected a zone of massive silicification framed by two fault zones which management believes may have acted as feeder systems. Interestingly, the alteration is more typical of a gold system rather than porphyry copper. Management thinks it is probable that an epithermal system may be on top of a porphyry and shallow drilling could expose the volcanic plumbing system in at least one location. The goal is to locate the zone where gold could no longer be transported in the geothermal waters and deposited in the veins somewhere below the siliceous sinter.

Mining companies outperform the broader market. During the fourth quarter, mining companies (as measured by the XME) appreciated 17.2% compared to a gain of 7.1% for the S&P 500 index. The VanEck Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) and Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ) ETFs were up 18.8% and 21.0%, respectively. Gold, silver, copper, and lead futures prices gained 9.2%, 26.3%, 12.3%, and 6.1%, respectively, while zinc declined 1.1%. For the full year 2022, all indices outperformed the S&P 500 which declined 19.4%. Despite aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve and U.S. dollar strength, gold performed as a store of value with the price ending just under where it began the year.
Will precious metals break out to the upside? The U.S. Dollar Index declined 7.7% during the fourth quarter, while the yield on the 10-year treasury note increased from 3.80% to 3.88%. While the Federal Reserve has signaled higher rates, an inflection point may have been reached as investors sought to preserve value amid deteriorating economic conditions, geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility. In our view, interest rates could peak by mid-year with the potential for easing depending on economic conditions. We think precious metals prices around current levels are sufficient for mining companies to be profitable and attract new investment. Our outlook is for range-bound pricing around current levels with a modest upward bias in the first half of 2023.
Less certain near-term outlook for industrial metals. While the price of copper declined 13.2% in 2022, the price rebounded in the fourth quarter. On a full year basis, zinc and lead prices were down 6.1% and up 1.2%, respectively. While the long-term investment case for owning industrial metals mining companies remains favorable, it may be too early to offer a bullish call due to near-term concerns about economic growth in the U.S. and abroad.
Putting it all together. In our view, precious metals mining companies, notably exploration companies, continue to offer attractive return potential. Should gold and silver prices hold recent gains, investors may begin to invest more confidently and aggressively. While the near-term outlook for industrial metals could be negatively impacted by near-term macroeconomic factors, an eventual return to economic growth could result in strong prices due to potential supply and demand imbalances.

VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., Dec. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” or the “Company”) provided an update today on previously announced asset sales anticipated to close during the first quarter of 2023. The Company now expects more than $30 million in proceeds from the sale of certain non-mining properties and non-strategic investments, as well as collection of advances receivable. The Company is directly engaged with multiple parties and expects these transactions to close during the first quarter of 2023.
“We have made major advancements in just the past month on multiple fronts toward finalizing agreements and monetizing our non-strategic assets,” stated Mr. Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s executive chairman and chief executive officer. “These transactions enable our growth businesses for meaningful decarbonization.”
The Company also announced today the closing of bridge financing in anticipation of completing the transactions above, pursuant to which the Company issued an 8.0% Convertible Promissory Note due March 16, 2024 (the “Convertible Note”) to an investor (the “Investor”). The Convertible Note was issued with an original aggregate principal amount of $3,150,000 (the “Face Value”) and a 5% original issue discount, corresponding to net proceeds of $3,000,000. Up to $2,000,000 of the Convertible Note is redeemable for cash 30-days following closing at 110% of the Face Value, plus interest.
DeGasperis added: “We have secured an excellent, safe financing that ensures the consummation of our asset sales with the flexibility to manage and minimize dilution, including the ability to redeem the substantial majority of the note upon receipt of proceeds from our asset sales while we maintain our pace of business commercialization.”
The Convertible Note is initially convertible into common stock of the Company at a price per share of $0.50. Starting 30 days after the closing for the Convertible Note, the conversion price is equal to 90% of the average of the five (5) lowest daily volume weighted average prices of the stock during the “Measurement Period.” The “Measurement Period” means the period starting on the trading day immediately after the day that the Investor receives common shares upon conversion of the Convertible Note and ending on the trading day immediately following the date upon which the aggregate dollar volume of the Company’s common stock traded on the trading market equals five (5) times the amount converted by the Investor on the relevant conversion, subject to a five (5) trading day minimum.
The Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Convertible Note was issued (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) included customary representations and covenants for the sale and purchase of securities. In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement has a covenant of the Investor not to take short positions in the Company’s stock while the Convertible Note is outstanding.
The foregoing descriptions of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Note are qualified in their entirety by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Note, which are included in a recently filed Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

2022 exploration and drilling program. The 2022 exploration program focused on identifying new precious metal-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, often found in district scale clusters, across the Consolidated Eskay project. Much of the focus was on defining the extent of VMS systems along the eastern and western limbs of the Eskay Anticline. Eskay Mining completed 29,500 meters of diamond drilling along the TV-Jeff corridor and along the Scarlet Ridge-Tarn Lake trend.
Assay results released. Eskay Mining released assay results for 42 holes drilled along the TV-Jeff corridor, including north of the Jeff deposit. Assays returned from holes completed in areas close to the TV deposit yielded significant intercepts of gold and silver mineralization. Wide-spaced drilling approximately 800 meters north of Jeff encountered a new zone of mineralization that yielded high-grade gold and silver values, some within longer intervals of lower grade mineralization. The company is awaiting assay results from maiden drilling in the Scarlet Valley-Tarn Lake area where several new VMS targets were drill tested in 2022.

Allegiant owns 100% of 10 highly-prospective gold projects in the United States, seven of which are located in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. Three of Allegiant’s projects are farmed-out, providing for cost reductions and cash-flow. Allegiant’s flagship, district-scale Eastside project hosts a large and expanding gold resource and is located in an area of excellent infrastructure. Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that both oxide and sulphide gold mineralization at Eastside is amenable to heap leaching.

Drilling at the East Pediment prospect. In late November, Allegiant Gold commenced a follow-up reverse circulation drilling program at the company’s East Pediment prospect to follow up on this year’s discovery of mineralized rhyolite with assays from Hole ES-258 returning intercepts of up to 4.4 grams of gold per tonne. Permits allow for up to 27 reverse circulation drill holes. To allow time for analysis of assay results, the program will be conducted in phases with the first phase comprised of 5 to 6 holes representing 2,000 meters of drilling.
Discovery Hole ES-258. The new discovery led Allegiant to stake an additional 194 mining claims covering parts of the pediment near Hole ES-258. Importantly, mineralization is open at depth where the bottom of Hole ES-258 returned 4.5 meters averaging 0.26 grams of gold per tonne and 13.66 grams of silver per tonne.

Eagle drill results. Maple Gold Mines released assay results for four drill holes and partial assay results for five additional holes from the company’s 2022 drilling program at its 100%-controlled Eagle Mine property. All reported drill holes returned over one gram of gold per tonne and seven of the nine intersected at least two grams of gold per tonne. Assay results associated with ~2,250 meters of drilling at Eagle are pending. Maple Gold expects to complete an additional 1,500 meters of drilling at Eagle by year end.
Multi-gram gold intercepts. Hole EM-22-10 intersected 14 grams of gold per tonne over 0.5 meters from 539.5 meters downhole and 8.3 grams of gold per tonne over 1.0 meter from 543 meters downhole. Hole EM-22-13 intersected 2.3 grams of gold per tonne over 10.4 meters, including 5.0 grams of gold per tonne over 3.2 meters from 257 meters downhole. Hole EM-22-16 intersected 3.1 grams of gold per tonne over 7.3 meters, including 4.0 grams of gold per tonne over 3.6 meters from 193 meters downhole.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 13, 2022) – Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MGM) (OTCQB: MGMLF) (FSE: M3G) (“Maple Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to report complete assay results for four (4) drillholes and partial assay results for five (5) additional drillholes from the Company’s ongoing 2022 drilling at its 100%-controlled Eagle Mine Property (“Eagle”) located in Québec, Canada. Previously completed digitization and modelling of historical drill results and a further review of drill logs identified a potential southern splay of the main mine horizon (the “South Mine Horizon”) located northwest of the past-producing Eagle mine in an area targeted for follow-up drilling. The new results confirm the continuity of the South Mine Horizon at relatively shallow (< 275 metre (“m”)) vertical depths, suggest local widening of the mineralized zone in this area, and further demonstrate the potential for additional subparallel gold trends at Eagle.
Highlights:
2022 drilling results, including new results detailed below, demonstrate vertical continuity of the South Mine Horizon over a 350 m vertical interval from surface; known mineralization extends to approximately 800 m vertical depth on adjacent sections and remains open along strike to the northwest as well as at depth (see Figures 1 and 2):
Drill hole EM-22-13 intersected 2.3 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 10.4 m, including 5.0 g/t Au over 3.2m (from 257 m downhole).
Drill hole EM-22-16 intersected 3.1 g/t Au over 7.3 m, including 4.0 g/t Au over 3.6 m (the latter from 193 m downhole).
Drill hole EM-22-10 intersected 14 g/t Au over 0.5 m (from 539.5 m downhole) and 8.3 g/t Au over 1.0 m (from 543 m downhole); this hole also tested the South Mine Horizon more than 200 m further to the southeast.
All reported drillholes contained gold mineralization (over 1 g/t Au) and seven (7) of the nine (9) reported drillholes contained multi-gram gold intercepts (2 g/t Au or better).
There are still approximately 2,250 m of assays currently pending at Eagle, with a further approximately 1,500 m of remaining drilling to be completed this year.
“These new results at Eagle confirm our modelling interpretations and demonstrate the potential to define significant zones of gold mineralization beyond what was historically mined at Eagle during a much lower gold price environment,” stated Fred Speidel, VP Exploration of Maple Gold. “Encountering relatively shallow multi-gram gold intercepts in an area that remains open for roughly 200 m along strike within the Eagle property boundary and a further 1.5 km beyond that on JV-controlled ground highlights the exploration upside that remains along this past-producing mine trend.”
Interpretation and Summary of Results
The Company’s previously reported contoured longitudinal section (see news releases from October 7, 2021 and January 17, 2022) followed the northern splay in this area of the Eagle deposit. The new drill results support earlier interpretations that gold mineralization occurs over multiple sub-parallel horizons extending along a northwest-southeast orientation, over an actual stratigraphic thickness of more than 100 m (see Figure 2). Historical drillholes located approximately 1.7 km to the northwest of the reported intercepts are associated with semi-massive to banded pyrite with quartz and Fe-carbonate, with several intercepts over 1 g/t Au, including historical hole F-19 that intersected 3.1 g/t Au over 3.5 m (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: Geologic plan view map depicting Eagle drill plan, Eagle-Telbel deposits and line of section shown in Figure 2.
Once all assays have been received from the Company’s 2022 drilling at Eagle, the 3D model and longitudinal sections will be updated with the corresponding grade contouring including all results from the 2022 drilling campaigns.
Table 1: Final and partial results for Eagle drillholes being reported
All intervals are downhole lengths. True widths are estimated to be between 35% (for steeper holes) to 80% (for shallower angle holes) of downhole lengths.

Updated technical report. Endeavour’s Pitarrilla project is an undeveloped silver, lead, and zinc property in Durango State, Mexico and encompasses 4,950 hectares across five concessions with well-developed infrastructure and access to utilities. Endeavor recently published an updated technical report highlighting total open pit and underground indicated mineral resources of 491.6 million ounces of silver, 1.1 million pounds of lead, and 2.6 million pounds of zinc, representing 693.9 million silver equivalent ounces. Total inferred resources include 99.4 million ounces of silver, 281.0 million pounds of lead, and 661 million pounds of zinc, representing 151.2 million silver equivalent ounces.
Next steps. In January, Endeavour will provide more detail regarding 2023 exploration plans at Pitarrilla. We expect it will represent the largest exploration expenditure in 2023, with Terronera shifting to development. At Pitarrilla, Endeavour expects to finish up a 1-kilometer-long tunnel that the previous owners had started which will be used as a drill platform to verify high-grade core.

Allegiant owns 100% of 10 highly-prospective gold projects in the United States, seven of which are located in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Nevada. Three of Allegiant’s projects are farmed-out, providing for cost reductions and cash-flow. Allegiant’s flagship, district-scale Eastside project hosts a large and expanding gold resource and is located in an area of excellent infrastructure. Preliminary metallurgical testing indicates that both oxide and sulphide gold mineralization at Eastside is amenable to heap leaching.

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.
