Mining Stocks News -Novus Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NOV)

Seven Kilometre Long Gold Zone Identified

January 15, 2010 – Vancouver, BC – Novus Gold Corp. (TSX-V: NOV) is pleased to announce surface sampling results from its REN gold property in the Northwest Territories carried out in partnership with Terra Ventures Inc. ("Terra") (TSX-V: TAS). This sampling program traced gold mineralization and iron formation over a length of 7 kilometres.


Just prior to freeze-up, a limited prospecting program was completed on the REN property. A total of 83 samples were collected and submitted for gold analysis. The samples were collected along the more than seven kilometre long iron formation within the REN property that includes the Main occurrence where a recent drill program was carried out. Most of the samples came from known occurrences other than the Main occurrence, however, five samples collected 400 metres northwest of the most northerly gold occurrence, Grizz, reported values between 1.51 and 6.25 g/t and represent a new gold discovery. Grab samples (7) of the Grizz occurrence ranged from 3.10 to 38.40 g/t gold and grab samples (3) collected 300 m south of the Grizz occurrence ranged from 0.02 to 2.13 g/t gold. Two more grab samples were collected a further 500 m south, ranged from 0.53 to 5.27 g/t gold, and were located approximately 300 m north of the geophysical anomaly coincident with the Main occurrence.


The Banner, Flag and Gord occurrences are located along the southern half of the iron formation, more than 3 kilometres south of the Main occurrence. Grab samples (17) collected from the Banner occurrence ranged from 0.07 to 205.00 g/t gold and grab samples (12) collected from the Flag occurrence ranged from 0.02 to 22.40 g/t gold. No samples were collected from the most southerly located Gord occurrence (approximately 5 kilometres south of the Main occurrence), however, previously completed sampling reported a chip sample value of 17.5 g/t across 0.8 metres. The Moore occurrence is situated approximately 1 kilometre south of the Main occurrence. Grab samples (9) collected from the Moore occurrence varied from 0.06 to 2.88 g/t gold. The remaining 33 samples collected ranged from 0.01 to 2.66 g/t gold.
Ongoing reinterpretation of the associations and controls related to the gold occurrences of the REN property has discovered the potential for a high-tonnage low-grade deposit along a more than seven kilometre strike of iron formation. Previous exploration had focused on Lupin-style gold mineralization where gold occurs concentrated in the "nose" of a folded iron formation. Recent drill results acquired from the Main occurrence indicate that significant gold is present in the host rocks adjacent to the iron formation. As a result, the main zone of gold mineralization is now considered to have an apparent width of 8 to 30 metres with gold grades ranging from 2 to 3 g/t. Grab samples collected while prospecting demonstrate that at least portions of the entire seven kilometre long iron formation is associated with significant gold mineralization. As with the exploration completed at the Main occurrence, much of the work evaluating the gold potential of the iron formation focused strictly on high-grade gold in the iron formation, including the recently reported grab samples reported above. The host rock along the seven kilometre long iron formation has not been adequately sampled so as to assess the potential for wide, low-grade gold zones.
Drill hole results from the Main occurrence within the REN property clearly indicate a previously unrecognized wide, low-grade gold zone associated with the iron formation. Gold assay values ranging between 2 to 3 g/t were reported for intersections that ranged from 10.62 to 32.77 metre. Based on previously completed geophysical work, the magnetic and electromagnetic anomaly directly associated with the wide, low-grade gold mineralization, is more than 700 metres long. Drilling has shown the zone to be open at depth.

The REN property hosts banded iron formation gold showings in the Point Lake area, approximately 90 kilometres southwest of the formerly producing Lupin gold mine owned by Echo Bay Mines. Approximately 30 drill holes were completed on gold showings on the REN property between 1974 and 1990 by Texasgulf, Cominco and Westview.

All samples were submitted to ALS Laboratory, North Vancouver, an ISO 17025-accredited laboratory that includes the determination of gold by fire assay and atomic absorption as part of its scope of accreditation. Blanks were added to the submitted samples to test for cross contamination and all samples submitted were reported within acceptable levels.

Novus has granted Terra an option to earn a 51-per-cent interest in the REN property. In order to exercise the option, Terra needed to incur $1.5-million in expenditures on the REN property by Dec. 31, 2009. Terra is in the process of giving Novus confirmation that this has been done. Once Terra formally exercises its option, Novus will have the option to repurchase Terra's 51-per-cent interest by issuing 7.5 million shares to Terra. Based on Novus's current 33,585,000 issued shares, if Novus exercises its option, Terra would have 18.25 per cent of Novus's shares.

Mining Stocks News - Pele Mountain Confirms Significant Concentrations of All Rare Earth Oxides at Eco Ridge Mine Project in Elliot Lake

Mining Stocks News - Pele Mountain Confirms Significant Concentrations of All Rare Earth Oxides at Eco Ridge Mine Project in Elliot Lake

TORONTO, ONTARIO-- Nov. 4, 2009 - Pele Mountain Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GEM) ("Pele" or the "Company") today announced the confirmation of significant concentrations of all rare earth oxides ("REO") in each of the 30 drill holes analyzed for REO to-date at its Eco Ridge Mine uranium project in Northern Ontario. As announced on October 7, the analysis of certain drill intersections at Eco Ridge has confirmed the presence of extensive REO in conjunction with uranium oxide (U3O8) in the Main Conglomerate Bed ("MCB"). The Eco Ridge Mine project is 100-percent owned by First Canadian Uranium Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pele.

A total of 29 of the 30 analyzed holes were drilled over an area 2 kilometres across strike and 1 kilometre down dip within the area of the defined NI 43-101 uranium resources. The outlying hole was located north of the classified resources and intersected the down-dip continuation of both uranium and REO mineralization beyond the resource area. A table containing individual REO analyses for each of the 30 analyzed drill holes is available at http://www.pelemountain.com/pdfs/allREE_tableSW.pdf

Although Yttrium and heavy REE comprise a minority of the overall REO content of the Eco Ridge deposit, these minerals have far greater economic value than the light REO and have demonstrated good recoverability. Preliminary leach testing at SGS Canada Inc. indicates potential recoveries of approximately 64-percent of combined Yttrium and heavy REE.

REOs are critical components in many high-tech applications including hybrid motor vehicles, flat screen monitors, high-power magnets and a wide range of military applications. Although demand for REO is growing rapidly, over 90-percent of global production is controlled by China, which has recently imposed restrictions on their export.

With its excellent regional infrastructure, well-understood geology, and politically-stable and mining-friendly jurisdiction, Elliot Lake is an ideal location for the development of a long-term secure and reliable supply of uranium and REE. Pele's 100-percent owned Eco Ridge Mine project contains a NI 43-101 compliant resource of 6.4 million pounds of "indicated" U3O8 (5.68 million tonnes grading 0.051-percent U3O8) and 36.1 million pounds of "inferred" U3O8 (37.26 tonnes grading 0.044-percent U3O8) with the potential for significant expansion. More than 300 million pounds of U3O8 were mined from similar deposits near Elliot Lake by Rio Algom and Denison Mines from 1956 to 1996. Elliot Lake was a global producer of Yttrium during the 1980s as a by-product of uranium production.

The samples were analyzed at SGS Canada Inc. and Activation Laboratories Ltd., both independent and ISO 17025 accredited laboratories. The Company is performing routine QA and QC on laboratory assay results. The calculations of REO grades shown in the table were independently reviewed by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. This press release has been reviewed and approved by Fergus Kerr, P.Eng., Vice President of Uranium Operations for Pele and a qualified person under NI 43-101.
