Kaminak Coffee Drilling Links Supremo T5 and T7 Gold Zones



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 20, 2013) - Kaminak Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:KAM) today announced the delineation of new extensions of shallow oxide gold mineralization on the Company's Coffee Gold Project, Yukon Territory linking the Supremo T5 and T7 zones. Drilling identified a new structure - the 'T5 Splay' - with strike extent of at least 450m trending northeast from the southern section of the T5 zone. Drilling also extended T7 up to 400m southwards along strike where it appears to intersect or merge with the T5 Splay. The total strike length of the Supremo T5 and T7 gold zones are 1.7km and 950m respectively. Furthermore, Kaminak has now delineated over 10km of mineralized strike within the Supremo-Latte-Double Double area, which is where the bulk of the inferred resource estimate resides. The T5 Splay is another example that proves that the Coffee deposits are all connected as part of a single, large, structurally controlled hydrothermal gold system.


Drill highlights from the T5 Splay structure include:



  • 6.23grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) over 12.19m from 80.77m down hole depth in CFR0545

  • 5.70g/t Au over 6.09m from 10.67m down hole depth in CFR0546

  • 2.78g/t Au over 12.19m from 4.57m down hole depth in CFR0549

  • 3.54g/t Au over 7m from 106m down hole depth in CFD0352




About the Supremo T5-7 Zone


Drilling targeted the broad contiguous north and northeast trending +25ppb gold-in-soil anomalies coincident with a NE trending magnetic lineament, located between the southern portion of the Supremo T5 and T7 gold zones. Drilling intersected multiple oxidized bedrock mineralized structures with both N-S and NE-SW strike orientations:



  1. Drilling delineated a northeasterly trending structural corridor parallel to gold-in-soil trends and a magnetic lineament. The 'T5 Splay' may connect with mineralization previously ascribed to Supremo T8, located an additional 250m northeast along strike.

  2. The Supremo T7 zone comprises up to four parallel N-S striking mineralized structures. Drilling earlier in the 2013 season extended the zone 200m southward along strike, with mineralization remaining open to the south. Additional follow-up drilling has further extended the structures southward 100-300m along strike where they appear to intersect or merge with the NE trending T5 Splay.

  3. Future drilling is planned to comprehensively test the remaining area of gold-in-soil anomalism and test the possible extension of the T5 Splay to the northeast and its linkage with the T8 Zone. Infill soil sampling completed in 2013 has further highlighted these trends, which represent over 1km strike length of untested high tenor soil anomalism, as a high priority target for 2014 exploration drilling.

NR - First Gold Brick From Abcourt's Elder Mine Poured Last Week

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/first-gold-brick-from-abcourts-elder-mine-poured-last-week-tsx-venture-abi-1844030.htm


First Gold Brick From Abcourt's Elder Mine Poured Last Week




MONT-ST-HILAIRE, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 23, 2013) - Mr. Renaud Hinse, President and Chief Executive Officer of Abcourt Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ABI)(BERLIN:AML)(FRANKFURT:AML) (the "Company") is extremely pleased to announce that a first gold brick from the Elder mine was poured last week. To produce this gold brick, a total of 4,839 tonnes of gold mineralization were processed at the Aurbec's Géant Dormant mill from October 1 to October 11.


In the Roche Limited, Consulting Group - PEA study dated November 2012, the average mill head grade was estimated at 5.48 grams of gold per tonne and the mill recovery was assumed to be 94%. Actual results from this initial run were close to the Roche estimates. Additional runs will be done regularly for a total of at least 30,000 tonnes in the October-December period.


From the start in May to the end of September, Elder produced 17,000 tonnes of gold mineralization now on surface stock piles, including 4,200 tonnes at the Géant Dormant mill site.


The milling results will be used to validate the resources and the recovery of gold for the preparation of a feasibility study, which is expected to be done in the first quarter of 2014.


The management of the Company estimates that the milling of the gold mineralization during the development period will produce revenues which will be used to cover most, if not all, the future operating costs. If these funds are not sufficient, the Company, as in the past, will have to finance itself by the issuance of shares or by debt. With the proceeds from the milling of gold mineralization becoming available, the Company will accelerate the mine development phase of its project with the objective of reaching full production capacity in the first quarter of 2014.


About Abcourt Mines Inc.


Abcourt Mines Inc. is an exploration and development company with strategically located properties in northwestern Quebec, Canada. The Elder Mine with 43-101 gold resources, the Abcourt-Barvue Project with 43-101 silver-zinc ore reserves and resources and the Aldermac property with historical copper-zinc resources are all former producers. Abcourt is now focused on bringing the Elder and Abcourt-Barvue projects back into production with Elder as the first priority. At the same time the company is working on other projects (Aldermac, Vezza, Jonpol and Vendome) to increase its mineral resources inventory. A 43-101 resource calculation was completed in July, 2012, for the Elder Mine. A positive PEA report was prepared on Elder mine in the Fall of 2012 by Roche Limited, Consulting Group. A positive 43-101 feasibility study was completed by GENIVAR in 2007 on the Abcourt-Barvue Project. In addition, mill equipment was purchased.

NR - RDM Gold Project Status and Corporate Update

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/rdm-gold-project-status-and-corporate-update-tsx-cpn-1839519.htm

RDM Gold Project Status and Corporate Update



TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct. 9, 2013) - Carpathian Gold Inc. (TSX:CPN) (the "Corporation" or "Carpathian") reports that the commencement of gold production at its wholly owned Riacho dos Machados Project ("RDM" or "Project") located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil has been delayed into Q4, 2013. The timing of the first gold pour is pending the commissioning of the mill by a third party group and the wet commissioning of the balance of the gold production line. In the interim, mining continues with ore being stock piled in anticipation of the commencement of operations.


The delay in the start-up of gold production has resulted in the Corporation having a lack of sufficient resources at a time when capital as well as commodity markets are difficult. Consequently, the Corporation's Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interest of the Corporation to pursue strategic alternatives. The Corporation has retained Origin Merchant Partners and Paradigm Capital Inc. as financial advisors in connection with this process. The various alternatives being considered include, but are not limited to, a business combination with another company, a recapitalization, a sale of the Corporation or its assets, a strategic investment in the Corporation or its subsidiaries by a third party, or any combination thereof.


Carpathian has entered into discussions and has executed confidentiality agreements with a number of interested parties. The Corporation has not set a schedule to complete its evaluation and, at present, there can be no assurance as to what, if any, strategic alternatives might be pursued by the Corporation. The Corporation does not intend to disclose further details with respect to its review of strategic alternatives unless and until its Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or such disclosure is otherwise appropriate.


In addition, the Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary Minercao Riacho dos Machados Ltda, which owns and operates the Project, are holding discussions with Macquarie Bank Limited ("Macquarie") in order to secure any necessary amendments to, and waivers under, the credit facility to facilitate the strategic review process. The Corporation is also in discussions with Macquarie and other parties with a view to providing bridge financing or other forms of financing while these strategic alternatives are considered and long term funding can be secured.


About Carpathian


Carpathian is an exploration and development company whose primary business interest is developing near-term gold production on its 100% owned Riacho dos Machados ("RDM") Gold Project in Brazil, which is currently focused on construction, along with progressing its exploration and development plans on its 100% owned Rovina Valley Au-Cu Project ("RVP") located in Romania.


On a company wide basis, Carpathian currently hosts NI 43-101 proven plus probable reserves of 830,200 ounces of gold (proven reserves of 2,300 Kt at 1.30 g/t Au and probable reserves of 18,500 Kt at 1.23 g/t Au) and NI 43-101 mineral resources (inclusive of reserves) of approximately 8.1 million ounces of gold in the measured plus indicated categories (RVP: 405.9 million tonnes at 0.55 g/t Au for 7.19 million ounces, RDM: 19.36 million tonnes at 1.50 g/t Au for 0.936 million ounces) and approximately 0.9 million ounces of gold in the inferred category (RVP: 26.8 million tonnes at 0.38 g/t Au for 0.33 million ounces, RDM; 9.447 million tonnes at 1.93 g/t Au for 0.587 million ounces), as well as 1.4 billion pounds of copper in the measured plus indicated category (RVP: 405.9 million tonnes at 0.16% Cu) and 97.0 million pounds of copper in the inferred category (RVP: 26.8 million tonnes at 0.16% Cu) (see press releases dated July 17, 2012 and April 6, 2011 for further details on resources and reserves).


The RDM Gold Project is targeted to produce in the order of +/-100,000 ounces of gold per annum with an anticipated goal for the commencement of production in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Rovina Valley Project will enhance Carpathian's growth profile as a mid-tier gold producer.

NR - Drills 68.58 m of 4.23 g/t Gold at Conrad, Rackla Gold Project-Yukon

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/atac-resources-ltd-drills-6858-m-of-423-g-t-gold-at-conrad-rackla-gold-project-yukon-tsx-venture-atc-1839384.htm

ATAC Resources Ltd. Drills 68.58 m of 4.23 g/t Gold at Conrad, Rackla Gold Project-Yukon



VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 9, 2013) - ATAC Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ATC) is pleased to report results from four diamond drill holes recently completed at the Conrad Zone, located within the 12 km² Osiris cluster of gold zones (Conrad, Osiris, Isis East and Sunrise) at the eastern end of ATAC's 100% owned 1,700 km² Rackla Gold Project in central Yukon.


News release highlights:



  • Hole OS-13-219 intersects significant gold mineralization in both the Conrad Upper and Lower Zones - 68.58 m of 4.23 g/t gold and 33.86 m of 5.40 g/t gold, respectively; and,




  • Step-out drilling further extends the strike length of the high-grade breccia mineralization within the Conrad Lower Zone.




"Confirmation of the Lower Conrad breccia zone continuity is a key development as it validates our geological model and confirms our belief in the very significant gold exploration potential along the 300 m length of the Lower Zone," stated Graham Downs, ATAC's CEO.

  • The reported intersections are drilled thicknesses and are believed to represent approximately 70% to 100% true widths.

  • Holes OS-13-222 and 223 were drilled outside the Conrad Zone mineralized envelope and did not return significant intersections.


Carlin-type mineralization at the Conrad Zone is contained within several structural and stratigraphic settings. In the Upper Conrad Zone, gold mineralization occurs along the stratigraphic contact between limestone and an overlying pyritic siltstone cap unit. The Upper Zone has been continuously traced by shallow drilling over a strike length of 800 m between Sections C100E and C900 E. The thickest and best mineralized parts of the Upper Zone occur along the crest of an anticlinal fold where OS-13-219 intersected 68.58 m of 4.23 g/t gold (from 7.62 m to 76.20 m) on Section C600E.


Mineralization at the Lower Conrad Zone has been traced by wide-spaced drill holes for 300 m. It is characterized by alteration and mineralization within and adjacent to a relatively flat-lying fault. On Section C650E, two 2012 drill holes discovered a solution collapse breccia body located at and above the intersection of the flat-lying fault with a near-vertical, east-west trending fracture system. One of these holes (OS-12-116) intersected two intervals in this zone which returned 56.93 m of 4.68 g/t gold and 27.43 m of 4.09 g/t gold.


Hole OS-13-219, which was collared 50 m west of C650E, is the only hole that has tested the strike extension of the solution collapse breccia zone and it returned 33.86 m of 5.40 g/t gold. Limited drilling further west has intersected the mineralized flat-lying fault for a total 300 m strike length; however, the potential strike extension of the breccia body has not been tested along the full length of the Lower Zone. Both Upper and Lower Conrad Zones remain open along strike and at depth.


Hole OS-13-221 intersected a mineralized zone within the siltstone unit at the eastern limit of the known Conrad Zone. The presence of near-surface gold mineralization in the hanging wall siltstone is very significant as it provides encouragement to test the favourable siltstone-limestone contact at depth.

Regional Exploration


Regional-scale exploration in 2013 was focused on advancing geochemical targets peripheral to the 2012 Anubis gold discovery. A total of 8,469 soil samples and 3,539 excavator/hand-pit samples were collected in 2013 within the Nadaleen Trend to complement the previous widely spaced geochemical surveys within the area of relatively low elevation and extensive overburden cover. The regional exploration program results will be announced once they have been received and compiled.


QA/QC


Samples were forwarded to ALS Minerals in Whitehorse, Y.T. or North Vancouver, B.C. where they were fine crushed before a 250 gram split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. The pulverizing circuit was cleaned with quartz sand twice between samples. Pulps were then analyzed at ALS Minerals in North Vancouver where gold determinations were carried out. Splits of the pulverized fraction were routinely dissolved in aqua regia and analyzed for 49 elements using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) together with mass spectrometry (MS) or atomic emission spectroscopy (AES). Gold analyses were by the Au-AA26 procedure that involves fire assay preparation using a 50 gram charge with an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Mercury analyses are performed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).


Five samples from hole OS-13-219 (14.05 m to 25.80 m) were sent to SGS Mineral Services in Burnaby, B.C. for analysis. They were fine crushed before a 250 gram split was pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Splits of the pulverized fraction were dissolved using a multi acid digestion and analyzed for 49 elements using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) together with mass spectrometry (MS) and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES). Gold analyses were by the FAA303 procedure that involved fire assay preparation using a 30 gram charge with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. Mercury analyses were performed using cold vapour atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). All of the samples included in this news release have passed the QA/QC procedures as described above.


Rigorous procedures are in place regarding sample collection, chain of custody and data entry. Certified assay standards, duplicate samples and blanks are routinely inserted into the sample stream to ensure integrity of the assay process.


The technical information in this news release has been approved by Robert C. Carne, M.Sc., P.Geo., the President and a director of ATAC Resources Ltd., and a qualified person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101.
