Investorideas.com - TAG Oil (TSX-V: TAO) Acquires Condensate-Rich Deep Gas Discovery, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
Investorideas.com - TAG Oil (TSX-V: TAO) Acquires Condensate-Rich Deep Gas Discovery, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
Vancouver, B.C. – September 16, 2010 (Investorideas.com Newswire) – Canadian-listed, New Zealand oil and gas producer, TAG Oil Ltd. (TSX-V: TAO), reports that the Company has acquired 100%-interest in Petroleum Mining Permit 38156-D, which contains the Cardiff gas/condensate discoveries located onshore in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. This interest was acquired from the receivers and liquidators of the previous operator of PMP 38156-D, and its joint-venture partner, the New Zealand state-owned utility.
The Cardiff structure has been identified as a large anticlinal trap, some 12 km long by 3 km wide, with a number of potential pay zones within the Kapuni Sands Formation. The Cardiff gas/condensate discovery has the potential to become a substantial onshore resource, situated on trend and among several sizable deep gas/condensate discoveries in the Taranaki Basin, including the nearby landmark Kapuni Field, New Zealand's first major onshore discovery, and the prolific Mangahewa and Pohokura gas fields.
Gas with rich condensates was discovered at Cardiff within the upper Kapuni zone, which encountered 12m of net pay and flowed at over 3 million cubic feet and 100 barrels of condensate (light oil) per day with improving rates observed on long-term testing. This zone can be identified on 3D seismic to be a prospective target across the span of the Cardiff structure. Furthermore, even greater resource potential exists in the deeper K1A and K3E zones, where strong gas shows were encountered over a gross 600m interval. This will be a primary target in future Cardiff wells.
View New Zealand's gas supply/demand.
Access to market for Cardiff gas is relatively straightforward, being situated just 3-km from a tie-in to TAG-owned gas infrastructure. This tie-in provides a link to the high-capacity LTS gas pipeline and the thriving North Island gas market. This acquisition comes at a time of strong demand, tightening supply and record-high contract gas prices in New Zealand, providing a number of commercial opportunities for developing Cardiff gas.
TAG plans to recommence development of Cardiff targeting the various gas/condensate zones with rapidly advancing horizontal-drilling and multi-stage fracturing technologies developed specifically for these types of tight-sand gas reservoirs. Porosities and permeabilities found within the multiple Kapuni Sands Formation zones encountered in the Cardiff-1 (5050m total depth), Cardiff-2 and Cardiff-2A sidetrack (4931m total depth) wells are analogous to prolific tight-sand formations found in Germany, Holland, the North Sea and numerous basins in the U.S. and Canada, where these technologies have been successful in achieving dramatic increases to flow rates and overall reserve recovery.
See a larger map on our website.
Permit PMP 38156-D resides within the same permit boundary as TAG's Petroleum Mining Permit 38156-S, where TAG is currently producing oil and gas and developing discoveries in shallower formations. This acquisition effectively ends the previous split of the permit and TAG now controls 100% of all prospective formations within Petroleum Mining License 38156.
Mr. Garth Johnson, CEO of TAG commented, "This acquisition not only positions TAG with a prime onshore gas and condensate development opportunity in close proximity to our own infrastructure, it secures 100%-control over title to the PMP 38156 production license. TAG is building its near-term cash flow through development of the shallow discoveries, and can now apply our highly efficient business model to exploiting the extensive multiple-zone hydrocarbon potential within this Taranaki Basin permit."
TAG Oil Ltd.
TAG Oil Ltd. is a Canadian-based company with international operations in New Zealand. The Company holds a drill-ready prospect inventory that covers more than 3,500 sections of land in the Taranaki and East Coast basins, including a 100% interest in the producing Cheal oil and gas discoveries now under appraisal and development.
In the East Coast Basin, TAG is planning a drilling campaign to further investigate the major unconventional resource potential that has been demonstrated in the Waipawa and Whangai fractured shale source-rock formations that are widespread across the Company's acreage. The geological characteristics of these formations compare favourably to oil-rich shale formations such as the Bakken Shale in the Williston Basin and Liassic Shale in the Paris Basin.

Cautionary Note Regarding Anticipated Results and Forward-Looking Statements
Statements contained in this news release that are not historical facts are anticipated results and forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainty affecting the business of TAG Oil. Actual results may vary materially from the information provided in this release. As a result, there is no representation by TAG Oil that actual results realized in the future would be the same in whole or in part as those presented herein. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance.
TAG Oil is involved in the exploration for, and production of, hydrocarbons, and all of its current property holdings, with the exception of the Cheal Oil Field, are in the grassroots or primary exploration stage. Exploration for hydrocarbons is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. There is no certainty that the expenditures incurred on TAG Oil's exploration properties will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. TAG Oil's future success in exploiting and increasing its current reserve base will depend on TAG Oil's ability to develop its current properties and on its ability to discover and acquire properties or prospects that are producing. But, there is no assurance that TAG Oil's future exploration and development efforts will result in the discovery or development of additional commercial accumulations of oil and natural gas.
Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the anticipated results and forward-looking statements are set forth in, but are not limited to, filings that the Company and its independent evaluator have made, including the Company's most recent reports in Canada under National Instrument 51-102.

Mining Stocks; North Arrow (TSX-V: NAR) Receives Drill Permit for Lac De Gras Diamond Project
Mining Stocks; North Arrow (TSX-V: NAR) Receives Drill Permit for Lac De Gras Diamond Project
Vancouver, British Columbia CANADA - September 16, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire, http://www.gold-miningstocks.com/ ) North Arrow Minerals Inc. (NAR: TSXV), ("North Arrow" or the "Company") is providing an update on its Canadian exploration properties. The Company reports it has received a land use permit from the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board for its 81,000 acre Lac de Gras diamond property, which adjoins the Diavik Diamond Mine in the Lac de Gras area of the Northwest Territories. Receipt of the permit allows the Company to commence planning for a drilling program, which has been re-scheduled for April and May of 2011 due to lateness of the season. As previously announced, a program of anomaly checking and ground geophysical surveys is scheduled to begin this week. The Lac de Gras property covers numerous geophysical targets selected by Dr. Chris Jennings using a proprietary geophysical technique that has successfully identified kimberlites in the Lac de Gras area. The project is a 50:50 joint venture between the Company and Dr. Jennings.
Ground geophysical surveys have now been completed at the Company's Hammer kimberlite located in the Coronation area of Nunavut. The surveys were conducted to cover a 1 hectare topographic low from which a 6.6 kg sample of kimberlite collected in 2009 returned a diamond on the 0.106 mm square mesh screen, confirming that the kimberlite body is diamondiferous. The property is subject to a joint venture arrangement between North Arrow (25%) and Stornoway Diamond Corporation (75%). Results of the survey will be announced after data processing and review.
The Company also reports the completion of an initial exploration program at the recently acquired Cal (1,446 acres) and Dotty (620 acres) properties situated in north-central Yukon Territory. The gold prospect claims were staked to cover anomalous government stream silt geochemical results in an area having bedrock stratigraphy similar to ATAC Resources Ltd.'s Rau Gold Project. During the program a total of 40 rock samples, 90 stream silt samples and 43 soil samples were collected and results are pending. The Company has issued 25,000 shares to Cathro Resources Corp. and 25,000 shares to Cazador Resources Ltd. as required under the terms of the previously disclosed option agreement whereby the Company can earn a 100% interest in the properties (please see North Arrow news release #10-11 dated August 3rd 2010).
North Arrow's exploration programs are conducted under the supervision of Gordon Clarke, P.Geol (NT&NU), Vice President, Exploration for North Arrow and a qualified person under NI 43-101.

Investorideas.com - Gold Stocks; Kinross (TSX:K)(NYSE:KGC) Shareholders Approve Red Back Combination
Red Back transaction creates new leader in gold growth with US$19-billion market capitalization
TORONTO, ONTARIO - September 15, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire, www.gold-miningstocks.com ) - Kinross Gold Corporation (TSX:K )(NYSE:KGC ) today announced that its shareholders have approved an ordinary resolution authorizing the issuance of Kinross common shares and common share purchase warrants (the "Shareholder Resolution") in connection with the previously announced arrangement involving Red Back Mining Inc. under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement").
The Shareholder Resolution was approved by approximately 66% of the votes cast by Kinross shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Kinross special meeting. The total votes cast represented approximately 70% of the Kinross' total issued and outstanding common shares. At a special meeting of Red Back shareholders also held today, the friendly combination with Kinross was approved by approximately 99% of the votes cast by Red Back shareholders present in person or represented by proxy.
"We are pleased by this strong vote of confidence from shareholders on the friendly combination with Red Back, which adds significantly to Kinross' production profile and creates a new leader in growth among senior gold producers," said President and CEO Tye Burt. Following closing of the Arrangement, Kinross will have a balanced portfolio of ten mines and five high quality growth projects, approximately 7,000 employees, and a market capitalization of approximately $19 billion(1). The addition of the Tasiast mine in Mauritania is expected to give Kinross one of the fastest-growing rates of production among senior gold producers between now and 2015.
Pursuant to the Arrangement, Kinross will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Red Back, other than those common shares currently held by Kinross and other than those common shares held by Red Back shareholders who properly exercise their dissent rights. Each Red Back common share will be acquired in exchange for 1.778 Kinross common shares plus 0.11 of a Kinross common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant is exercisable for a period of four years following the completion of the Arrangement at an exercise price of US$21.30 per Kinross common share. The Kinross common shares and warrants issued in connection with the Arrangement are expected to be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange within a week after closing.
Completion of the Arrangement remains subject to, among other things, the final approval of the Superior Court of British Columbia, which approval is expected on September 16, 2010. The closing date of the Arrangement is expected to occur on or about September 17, 2010, provided that all of the conditions of the Arrangement are satisfied or waived.

Investorideas.com - Kitcommentary from Kitco Metals Inc. - "Basel Rules. In More Ways Than One."
Investorideas.com - Kitcommentary from Kitco Metals Inc. - "Basel Rules. In More Ways Than One."
(Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire, www.gold-miningstocks.com ) The Basel III accord struck a chord with investors during the late weekend hours and as the new trading week got underway this morning. Risk appetite was on the mend in Asian markets on Monday following the Basel Committee's announcement that new capital rules-albeit requiring more than double the level of minimum equity levels for institutions-were neither as stringent as anticipated, nor likely to be a reality across the board for some seven or eight years.
Under the new rules, the minimum capital requirements would jump from 2% to 4.5% and the total equity ratio would rise to 7% from its current 4%. The decision basically implies that many an Asian bank has nothing to worry about, and that many an Aussie bank has much more capital than will be required. Take ANZ for example, with a ratio of more than 11%, or Commonwealth Bank with a 10% ratio. Cheers, mates.
For those observers who are still writing dissertations intended to frighten people into mass hysteria about the future of global banking, ECB chief Jean-Claude Trichet had the following summation to deliver at the end of the Basel summit: "The agreements reached today are a fundamental strengthening of global capital standards. Their contribution to long-term financial stability and growth will be substantial. The transition arrangements will enable banks to meet the new standards while supporting the economic recovery." What do you want to bet that so-called ‘fiat currencies' are here to stay, along with the global banking system? Faites Vos Jeux accordingly. By the way, Mr. T is also confident that the Basel rules will be implemented in the US banking industry as well
The other item of import that drove risk appetite out of the cave of fear it went into, but not much out, of last week, was the weekend report that showed China's economy growing at 13.9% (!) in August. On top of that rate of growth, the country reported strong retail sales and an inflation rate of 3.5%; perhaps not enough to trigger a pre-emptive rate move on the part of local financial authorities.
Meanwhile, in Greece, no less of an authority than the Prime Minister promised more efforts to neutralize the threat of the country's default and assured his country's denizens that the imposition of fresh Spartan flavored belt-tightening measures might not be required if Greece ‘stays the course,' fiscally speaking.
The expected consequence of such gains in risk appetite also became manifest as the new week's New York metals trading sessions opened for business; gold took a safe-haven-on-the-wane-flavored price dip while industrial metals remained well-bid (with silver less so than platinum and palladium).
The opening signal had the yellow metal down $2.60 an ounce, at $1,244.10 and then slipping lower, to $1,240.10 per ounce in the first twenty minutes of action. The Kitco Gold Index was showing the precious metal turning less precious by $12.20 per ounce on account of predominant physical selling by funds, while the much weaker US dollar (which also fell victim to easing risk aversion) –trading at 82.24 on the index- was lending a $9.60-sized hand of support to prices.
Platinum remained relatively firm, showing a $9 gain at $1,549.00 while palladium also rose, adding $2 to start the session off at $520.00 the ounce. The noble metals continue to receive price support from the estimated loss of circa 1,000 ounces of platinum in daily output by the strike unfolding at producer Northam in South Africa.
Silver opened with a gain of one nickel, quoted at $19.93 but later turned to unchanged-to-down a penny (at $19.87) as the selling pressure from the gold pits spilled over into the white metal. Underscoring once again that the entrée of speculative funds has yielded mushrooming precious metals ETFs –and given rise to new risks in the marketplace- was the finding that the iShares Silver Trust outperformed its golden cousin (the GLD) by a factor of almost three, in August.
However, Ms. Catherine Raw, a portfolio manager at BlackRock Inc. opines that while it has become quite clear that the advent of such funds has lent a tremendous hand of support to silver prices, the same phenomenon poses a rising risk to same; precisely in the manner that the situation in the gold niche has morphed into. "Physically backed metals ETFs are a source of demand in the marketplace now," she noted. They could become a source of supply in the future."
Add to that, the observation by Morningstar ETF strategist Paul Justice that "it should be noted that silver isn't a foolproof inflation hedge," he wrote. "Unlike gold, silver has industrial applications, which means it's more likely to fluctuate with economic ups and downs."
Highlighting the similar, ETF-engendered paradigm in gold bullion, Waverly Advisors, in a September 3rd strategy note advised caution if gold prices rise to new highs and later show signs of weakness. "There will be many trapped bulls, and with the public increasingly involved in this market through ETFs such as SPDR Gold Shares, there could be a dramatic stampede for the exits," the investment firm said. We brought to your attention last week the fact that DailyFX strategists had found that a whopping 89% of the variance in the spot gold price is explained by variance in the holdings of the SPDR Goldshares ETF.'
Perhaps some of the above has led to a recent assessment of prices by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) suggests that "predicting [gold] prices in the period ahead can be tricky business." According to the EIU report, expert sources in the international gold industry are exercising more than a hint of caution about future gold prices. The report says that "Phillip Gibb, manager of the 600 million pound Jupiter Absolute Return Fund, recently sold out his position in gold." One Seeking Alpha analyst tendered the assessment that "gold looks expensive relative to stocks and to agricultural commodities on a historical basis."
Expensive or not, history also however shows that keeping a core allocation in the yellow metal for a just-in-case eventuality is not only prudent, but perhaps absolutely essential. Not wearing a (golden) helmet while riding the wild investments bucking bronco has its risks as well, obviously. It just does not mean that the helmet has to be as large, or larger, than the rider, or –in some cases-the stallion.
Happy galloping over to the Kitco eConference this morning! Giddy up!

Investorideas.com - Gold Stocks; GOLD BULLION (TSX-V: GBB) GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF GRANADA GOLD PROPERTY
Investorideas.com - Gold Stocks; GOLD BULLION (TSX-V: GBB) GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF GRANADA GOLD PROPERTY
Vancouver - September 10 , 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks Newswire) - Mr. Frank Basa reports: Gold Bullion Development Corp. (TSX-V: GBB) (the "Company" or "Gold Bullion") is very pleased to report that Phase 2 drilling at its Granada Gold Property has delivered the best near-surface assay result yet. In addition, the geological interpretation of the LONG Bars Zone - in particular the growing Eastern Extension where visible gold has been intersected within porphyry in numerous holes - is evolving after 18,000 metres of drilling the past four months. Gold Bullion is aggressively exploring Granada, located five kilometres south of Rouyn-Noranda in northwestern Quebec, as a potential open-pit deposit along the prolific "Cadillac Trend" where numerous multi-million ounce deposits have been discovered and developed.
GR-10-53, collared 88 metres southeast of recently reported GR-10-41 and near Pit #2 East, has intersected 68.3 metres of 2.16 g/t Au, including a high grade section of 4.60 g/t Au over 26 metres, within a wider near-surface interval of 110.5 metres (3.5 metres to 114 metres) grading 1.34 g/t Au. This hole was drilled perpendicular to Vein #2 and is believed to closely approximate true width. Alteration dominated by strong sericitization and silicification was encountered in this hole along with quartz veining and abundant pyrite. GR-10-53 is inside the LONG Bars Zone Preliminary Block Model which was outlined in detail in Gold Bullion's April 22, 2010, news release.
"We're elated with the way this major project is coming together and we're eagerly anticipating additional results," explains Gold Bullion President and CEO Frank Basa. "We're still in the early stages, strategically drilling for structure, and each and every hole is hitting mineralization and giving our geological team the critical information it needs in order to better understand the dynamics of this potentially large gold bearing system. We've already completed a large bulk sample which was extremely important in terms of quantifying grade. We've also now launched a Baseline Environmental Study and we're already examining the most efficient ways to potentially process Granada ore. We're on track to achieve our goal of building shareholder value by taking a fresh approach to this former producer and developing a potential world class open-pit deposit. Granada is surrounded by excellent infrastructure in one of the best jurisdictions there is for mining and exploration."
Granada is a sediment-hosted, structurally controlled vein-type deposit (quartz veins, veinlets, stockworks, breccias) that has been intruded by a series of syenite feldspar porphyry sills and dykes mineralized with finely disseminated pyrite and/or arsenopyrite. It is underlain by conglomerates and greywackes of the Archean Timiskaming group sediments and intruded by later syenite. These rocks appear to be intensely hydrothermally altered. The Cadillac Fault traverses the northern portion of the property and multiple spatially-related secondary faults have become areas of intense interest - GENIVAR, Gold Bullion's geological consultant, hypothesizes that these faults may have acted as permeable conduits for mineralizing fluids as higher grades at Granada appear to be concentrated in close proximity to these structures.
While results in the southern half of the Preliminary Block Model, near former producing Pits #2 West and #2 East, have been very encouraging to date, the northern half from the waste pile (immediately east of Pit #1) to the eastern boundary of the Preliminary Block Model has received only limited historical attention. A total of 15 holes (not including GR 10-33 and GR-10-41 which straddle the north-south boundary) have now been drilled east of the waste pile over the northern half of the Preliminary Block Model - a section that was not tested in Phase 1 drilling. Assay results are still pending on 14 of these holes but GR-10-47, one of the deepest holes drilled so far within the Preliminary Block Model, confirmed the presence of a northeasterly trending fault and returned 1.68 g/t Au over 28 metres (from 122 to 150 metres) within a wider envelope of 182 metres grading 0.44 g/t Au.
A large amount of rock is being removed from the 34,000 square metre waste pile which will allow for drilling of important targets there. GENIVAR reports that large porphyry intrusions cover much of the northern part of the waste pile. Northeasterly trending fault structures are also interpreted to run through the waste pile.
Assay results for three other holes within the Preliminary Block Model have been received. The best intercepts included 1.31 g/t Au over 11 metres in GR-10-32 and 1.16 g/t Au over 9.2 metres in GR-10-35.
Meanwhile, the LONG Bars Zone Eastern Extension, outside the Preliminary Block Model area, continues to grow and is of extreme interest. The total surface area drilled so far in the Eastern Extension is 450 metres north-south and 500 metres east-west. GENIVAR reports that visible gold and disseminated sulphides, along with large alteration zones, have been observed within the porphyry in numerous holes drilled since July in all directions (north, south, east and west) surrounding Phase 1 discovery hole GR-10-17. Assay results are still pending for these holes where mineralization was encountered near-surface and at depth. The fact that feldspar porphyry is hosting gold is an interesting development historically for Granada as a 2006 Technical Report on the Property stated that all economic mineralization at Granada was related to quartz veining.
Assay results are pending for seven holes drilled northwest of GR-10-17 in close proximity to a possible northeasterly trending fault. There were also very encouraging visual observations in a series of holes (assays pending) drilled east and southeast of GR-10-17. GENIVAR confirmed an extension to the LONG Bars Zone geological structure east of GR-10-17 after drilling was completed in GR-10-63, GR-10-65 and GR-10-73. GR-10-73 (collared 155 metres east of GR-10-17) and GR-10-78 (collared 250 metres east of GR-10-17) are the deepest holes drilled so far in the Eastern Extension as they each went to a vertical depth of 350 metres and encountered visible gold.
Of significant new interest is the southernmost hole drilled to date in the LONG Bars Zone, GR-10-86, which has intersected strong alteration and intrusive zones along with visible gold in two sections (in a brecciated quartz vein and also in feldspar porphyry) at different depths. Assays are pending on this hole which is interpreted to be a possible extension of Vein #2, 250 metres to the west-northwest. GENIVAR is plotting additional targets in the vicinity of GR-10-86.
Initial assay results from early Phase 2 drilling in June in the Eastern Extension have been received and confirm more near-surface mineralization.
GR-10-44, collared 100 metres southwest of GR-10-17, showed consistent mineralization throughout the length of the hole with the best intercept being 1.20 g/t Au over 41.5 metres (from 91.5 to 132.65 metres). GR-10-44 assayed 0.287 g/t Au over 237 metres.
GR-10-42, collared 50 metres west of GR-10-17, returned intersections of 1.45 g/t Au over 19 metres and 0.53 g/t Au over 96 metres (from 17 to 113.5 metres) within an overall interval of 249.6 metres grading 0.315 g/t Au. Highlights of five other holes included 1.97 g/t Au over 9 metres in GR-10-56 (from 23.74 to 32.74 metres) and 0.58 g/t Au over 20.9 metres in GR-10-46.
An updated drill map and assay results for all 18 Phase 2 holes drilled at Granada and received so far are available in the Phase 2 drilling section of the Company's web site, www.GoldBullionDevelopmentCorp.com.
All core is being logged and split on-site, and the Company has just recently contracted a third assay lab (ALS Chemex Labs in Val d'Or, Quebec) to expedite delivery of additional results. A total of 88 holes have been drilled in Phase 2 through September 8, with 2,000 metres remaining, so less than 20% of the assay results from this program have been received.
Gold Bullion is also very pleased to announce that it has just received a Testwork Study Report from Gekko Systems Ltd. of Victoria, Australia, regarding extensive metallurgical testing on Granada ore samples taken from the LONG Bars Zone Eastern Extension last May. The Company is reviewing this report and will release details shortly. Gekko Systems is an internationally recognized company that specializes in the design, development and distribution of innovative mineral processing equipment and systems with a particular focus on gravity separation.
Mineralization remains open in all directions at the nearly 5,000 hectare Granada Gold Property.
The NQ drill program and drill core sampling, including the quality assurance/quality control program, are supervised by GENIVAR, Gold Bullion's geological consultant. Assay results referred to in this news release are length-weighted average values and are believed by GENIVAR to closely approximate true widths. Core was sent to Laboratoire Expert in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec and Swastika Laboratories in Swastika, Ontario for analysis. Gold and silver were assayed by fire assay with additional metallics analysis done on samples where visible gold was identified. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks and reference materials at both labs. Quality control is further assured by the insertion of blind certified standard reference material and blanks into the sample stream at regular intervals by Gold Bullion and GENIVAR personnel in order to independently assess analytical accuracy.
