Mining News; Valterra(CNSX:VTA)(FRANKFURT:3VA) Drills Toughnut Yielding 4.05 g/t Au over 8.0m


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog)   - Sept. 23, 2010) - Valterra Resource Corporation ("Valterra") (CNSX:VTA)(FRANKFURT:3VA) reported encouraging near surface diamond drill results from its recent 2010 exploration program at the Au-Ag-Cu porphyry/shear-hosted "Star Project" (Star and Toughnut claims) located in southeast British Columbia.


Drilling intercept highlights at the Eureka and Toughnut zones include:
VTN10-005 (Toughnut): 4.05 g/t Au & 0.88 g/t Ag over 8.0 metres
VTN10-003 (Toughnut): 1.28 g/t Au & 0.70 g/t Ag over 12.0 metres
VST10-011 (Eureka): 0.28 g/t Au, 4.45 g/t Ag & 0.27% Cu over 66.67 metres
Including 1.07 g/t Au, 19.05 g/t Ag & 2.32% Cu over 2.0 metres
The Company completed a total of 1,438 metres in seven NQ2/BTW-sized drill holes. The drilling centred on three of the five-known gold-silver +/- copper zones that are contained within a prospective 3.5 kilometre-long polymetallic mineral trend transecting the claim blocks. The initial phase of Toughnut zone drilling has defined approximately 200 metres of strike length that is located more than 3.0 kilometres southeast of the Eureka zone. The company believes that the geological, structural, alteration, and mineralogical packages intercepted in the drilling are consistent with a zoned porphyry model subjected to shear-fault/hydrothermal activity that generated focused zones of higher-grade.
Valterra expects timely receipt of pending assays from the remaining two holes recently drilled at the Toughnut occurrence and anticipates undertaking a Phase II exploratory drill program on several anomalies in the area during Q3/Q4 of 2010.
Targeting was aided by several recent technical programs implemented by Valterra in Q2 2010. Firstly, a geological consultant was retained to prepare a technical (compilation) report on the Star-Toughnut dataset which outlines several geophysical, geological and reverse circulation/diamond drilling programs spanning a 25-year period. Secondly, a 30 square kilometre airborne EM-MAG survey was flown by Aeroquest Ltd. over the entire +1,900 hectare claim block (see NR-03-10). Lastly, the airborne data was subjected to detailed processing analyses by a geophysical consultant whose work refined and sharpened numerous airborne anomalies warranting follow-up.
This region of the province has produced several million ounces of gold and precious metals from numerous past producers. The BC MINFILE records lists such operations as the Rossland Camp (past production estimate of 3.5M ounces of gold), and the Silver King mine - BC's first lode mine ca. 1888 (reportedly produced 4.4M ounces of silver(1)). Valterra's claims are centrally located on the Silver King Shear Zone, to the east is the Kena Gold project (1.0M ounce NI43-101 compliant gold resource(2) - Sultan Minerals Inc.), and to the northwest is the Kenville Mine (386,000 ounce NI43-101 compliant gold resource(3) - Anglo Swiss Resources Inc.).
2010 QA/QC Protocols
Core samples were analyzed at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. located in Vancouver, BC, for Au + 41 elements by Fire Assay (FA)/Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)/Emission Spectroscopy (ES) and Four-Acid Digestion/ Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)/Mass Spectroscopy (MS) using appropriate calibration standards. Additionally, any samples assaying greater than 10.0 g/t Au are re-analyzed using a Gravimetric finish.
Valterra implemented established QA/QC quality protocols throughout the core sampling process comprising "blind" insertions of a variety of standard pulps, blanks and field duplicated samples. Certified analytical standards were utilized from suppliers CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. and WCM Minerals Limited and overall approximately 10% of the total assays were QA/QC-related; the results of which were carefully monitored in order to verify the assaying quality.

TSX Gold Stocks; Bear Lake Gold (TSX VENTURE:BLG) Reports Drill Results at Larder Lake: Second Diamond Drill to Arrive Shortly

TSX Gold Stocks; Bear Lake Gold (TSX VENTURE:BLG) Reports Drill Results at Larder Lake: Second Diamond Drill to Arrive Shortly


LONGUEUIL, QUÉBEC--( http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 23, 2010) - Bear Lake Gold Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:BLG) is pleased to announce the first drill results of its 2010 drill program at the Larder Lake property, in Ontario. Hole 49-W3 intersected 1.7 g Au/t over 9.5m in flow-type mineralization at a depth of 850m and hole 78 intersected 1.9 g Au/t over 4.5m at a depth of 700m, also in flow-type mineralization. The following table highlights the results in all three holes. The attached longitudinal sections show the location of the drill holes.

Hole 49-W3 is a re-drill of hole 49, and holes 77 and 78 were drilled on the eastern edge of the mineralized envelope for logistical reasons. The drilling confirmed the presence and extended the typical mineralized alteration zones, and intersected both Carbonate-type and Flow-type mineralization with the exception of Hole 77. This hole was abandoned after deviating too far off target and did not reach the flow-type mineralization. The intensity and characteristics of alteration encountered in these holes will allow the Company to focus more accurately on the interpreted location of the higher grade lenses within the heart of the Bear Lake deposit. The alteration can also be used as a vector toward locating higher grade zones outside the actual mineralized envelope. (See link to longitudinal map below)

2010 Work Program
Following the completion of a $3.76M Financing, the drilling program is now underway at Larder Lake with one drill working on site. A second drill is scheduled to arrive later this month to accelerate the drilling. The program consists of approximately 15,000 meters of diamond drilling focused mostly on the Bear Lake zone. The campaign will mainly target the upper part of the Bear Lake zone at depths between 400m and 1,200m from surface with the objective to define and expand the higher grade mineralized lenses, including both the Carbonate and Flow-type mineralized horizons. The objective is to complete a NI43-101 compliant resource estimate as soon as the density of drilling is sufficient on the Bear Lake zone. The Larder Lake properties extend over 13km straddling the prolific Cadillac-Larder Lake fault zone, host of the historic Kerr Addison mine (11M ounces of gold produced), which is located some 4km to the east. Easily accessible, the properties are close to major infrastructure including a paved road and power line.
QA/QC
The Company has implemented a rigorous QA/QC program independently set up and supervised by P&E Mining Consultants Inc., of Brampton, Ontario. The program includes chain of custody of samples, drill core sawn in half and shipped in sealed bags to Laboratoire Expert, a certified assay laboratory located in Rouyn Noranda, Quebec. Blank samples, blind duplicates and certified standards are also inserted in the sample stream. Samples with gold values higher than 10g Au/t are re-analysed via the metallic screen procedure. Samples containing visible gold are also analysed systematically with the metallic screen analysis.
Qualified Person
The 2010 work program is directed by Francois Viens, P. Eng., President and CEO of Bear Lake Gold. Mr. Viens is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Viens prepared and approved the content of this press release.

TSX Gold Stocks; Millrock (TSX. V:MRO) Samples 9.1 Grams Per Tonne Gold Over 27.4 Meters at Estelle Project, Alaska

TSX Gold Stocks; Millrock (TSX. V:MRO) Samples 9.1 Grams Per Tonne Gold Over 27.4 Meters at Estelle Project, Alaska


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 23, 2010) - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRO) ("Millrock" or the "Company") today released results of exploration work carried out at its Estelle Project in south-central Alaska.
Chip sampling of mineralized outcrops at the Shoeshine prospect in the southern portion of the claim block returned the following anomalous intervals:

OR_2010_0011.633.05
OR_2010_0071.833.05
Additionally, discovery of a new mineralized zone with disseminated arsenopyrite and tourmaline returned anomalous values in talus fines sampling. This zone, named Oxide North, is located approximately 2.5 km north of the original Oxide Ridge showing. Millrock is currently conducting induced polarization geophysical surveys to test for disseminated sulfides in the valley separating the two gold occurrences. Soil geochemical surveys in the valley have returned widespread arsenic anomalies with gold.
Millrock has expended approximately US$500,000 on the Estelle property in 2010 using funds raised from Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") in a private placement financing completed in May, 2010. Teck's subsidiary, Teck American Incorporated ("TAI"), upon completion of the initial exploration program now being carried out by Millrock, has the right to elect to enter into an earn-in agreement. TAI can earn an initial 55% interest in the property by incurring US$3.6 million in expenditures over two years, and then a further 10% interest by sole funding an additional US$5 million in exploration expenditures on the property and making cash payments to Millrock totaling US$400,000 prior to the end of 2014.
The Estelle property, located 160 km northwest of Anchorage Alaska, was purchased by Millrock in 2009 from Hidefield Gold plc., (HIF - AIM), and Mines Trust Co. a privately held Alaska-based company. Presently, Millrock owns a 100% interest in the property which is subject to a 3.0% royalty. Consisting of 214 claims covering 13,157 hectares, the property is adjacent to Kiska Metals' Whistler copper-gold deposit, with a resource totaling over five million ounces of gold equivalent (Indicated resource: 30 million tonnes grading 0.87 g/t gold, 2.46 g/t silver and 0.24% copper [1.31Moz Gold Equivalent] and an 134 million tonnes grading 0.64 g/t gold, 2.18 g/t silver and 0.20% copper [4.44Moz Gold Equivalent], as reported on Kiska's website). Estelle is in the Kahiltna Terrane, an assemblage of rocks that hosts Northern Dynasty/Anglo American's giant Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit, with a resource totaling 107.4 million ounces of gold, 80.6 billion pounds of copper and 5.6 billion pounds of molybdenum (Measured & Indicated 5.942 billion tonnes at 0.42% copper, and 0.35 g/t gold and 250 ppb molybdenum using a 0.3% cutoff plus 4.835 billion tonnes at 0.24% copper and 0.26 g/t Au and 215 ppb molybdenum using a 0.3% cutoff, as reported on Northern Dynasty's website).
Previous work by Millrock at Estelle has identified high-grade gold veins spanning the property which measures approximately 5 km by 20 km. These gold-bearing veins are significant targets, but at the Shoeshine and Oxide Ridge prospects the veins are spatially associated with porphyritic intrusive rocks, quartz stockworks and hydrothermal breccias. These features, and extensive surface geochemical anomalies, indicate the potential for large, bulk minable, intrusive-related or porphyry style deposits.

Uranium Stock News; Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) Completes Drilling in Ambrosia Lake

Uranium Stock News; Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) Completes Drilling in Ambrosia Lake

LEWISVILLE, Texas--( http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog ) -Uranium Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE) (“URI”) announced today that the Company has completed drilling at its Section 13 property in Ambrosia Lake in McKinley County, New Mexico, approximately 10 miles northeast of Grants.
Three holes, totaling more than 2,600 feet, were drilled on the property. A total of 95 feet were cored and 75 feet of three inch core were recovered. Gamma ray and Prompt Fission Neutron (PFN) logging tools were used to evaluate the sub-surface environment. The core has been quartered by URI and the core samples will be shipped to a laboratory which will evaluate the suitability of the property for in-situ recovery (“ISR”) mining, a process that is expected to be completed in December 2010.


“The drilling at Ambrosia Lake is part of our strategy to determine the suitability of our Section 13 property for profitable ISR production in order to prioritize our efforts as we continue to advance toward production in New Mexico. As we await the results of the core evaluation, we will maintain our dialogue with the communities and government agencies regarding the safety and suitability of ISR mining and similarly intend to continue to reach out to the local residents who stand to benefit from a potential return of uranium mining to the state,” said Don Ewigleben, President and Chief Executive Officer of URI.
URI received a permit for drilling the property from the New Mexico Mining and Minerals Division in November 2008. The permit, which was renewed in July 2010, allows URI to drill up to ten holes for the purpose of extracting core samples until November 2011.
URI has over 100 million pounds of in-place, mineralized uranium material in New Mexico and approximately 2.4 million pounds in the Ambrosia Lake area. Stewart Brothers of Milan, NM conducted the drilling as part of URI’s continued commitment to the local New Mexico economy.


About Uranium Resources, Inc.
Uranium Resources Inc. explores for, develops and mines uranium. Since its incorporation in 1977, URI has produced over 8 million pounds of uranium by in-situ recovery (ISR) methods in the state of Texas where the Company currently has ISR mining projects. URI also has 183,000 acres of uranium mineral holdings and 101.4 million pounds of in-place mineralized uranium material in New Mexico and a NRC license to produce up to 1 million pounds of uranium per year. The Company acquired these properties over the past 20 years along with an extensive information database of historic mining logs and analysis. None of URI’s properties is currently in production.
URI’s strategy is to fully exploit its resource base in New Mexico and Texas, expand its asset base both within and outside of New Mexico and Texas, partner with larger mining companies that have undeveloped uranium or with junior mining companies that do not have the mining experience of URI, as well as provide restoration expertise to those that require the capability or lack the proficiency.
Uranium Resources routinely posts news and other information about the Company on its web site at http://www.uraniumresources.com/.

TSX Mining Stocks News; Kenai Resources (TSX.V:KAI) Starts Drilling at Hope Butte and Albisu Secures Key Gold Project in Brazil

TSX Mining Stocks News; Kenai Resources (TSX.V:KAI)  Starts Drilling at Hope Butte and Albisu Secures Key Gold Project in Brazil


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog ) -  - Kenai Resources Ltd (TSX VENTURE:KAI) ("Kenai") announces that drilling at its Hope Butte, Oregon gold project located just west of the Idaho border is scheduled to commence around the end of September. Kenai's immediate drilling program of approximately 3,000 metres is designed to replicate the results and the mining potential recorded at Hope Butte in the 1996 to 2000 period by Chevron Resources and its joint venturers, and to advance Hope Butte to NI 43-101 status. To this end, four initial holes are being drilled by twinning Chevron's prior results, including several very high grade intercepts. Assay results from the initial drilling at Hope Butte will be released as soon as available.


Kenai also advises that, following the completion of the initial drilling at Hope Butte, the rig will be remobilised for a planned 1,000 metre drilling program at the Albisu farm-in exploration project in northern Nevada. This program is currently anticipated to commence during November. The Albisu gold project was drilled by Chevron Resources in 1979 and 1981 and Western Energy Development Corp. ("WEDC") followed up with four core holes in 2008 to twin Chevron's AL-14 drill hole that reportedly intercepted 6.5 meters at 6.2 gram per tonne ("gpt"). The WEDC holes confirmed the gold zone by intercepting 1.6 meters of 12.46 gpt and 8 meters of 1.94 gpt. To date WEDC has drilled a total of 3,729 meters of core at Albisu in 2008 and 2009. That drill program defined a mineralized stockwork sulphide-quartz-calcite zone that is up to 73 m thick. Gold values range from 14.6 gpt over 1.8 meters to intervals between 3 and 32 meters of 0.2 to 0.5 gpt.
Kenai Entry to Brazil via Strategic Joint Venture with Gold Anomaly on its Sao Chico Gold Project
Kenai has executed an Option Agreement with Gold Anomaly Limited (ASX:GOA) for Kenai to acquire 50% of the Sao Chico gold project in Brazil, by funding project exploration ahead of a possible decision to acquire equity in the project, with key terms as under:
  1. Kenai has an 18 months option to acquire 50% of Sao Chico following an advance to GOA of A$1m and committing to provide A$2m project funding, these funds will be in the form of a loan from Kenai to GOA until exercise of the option. If Kenai does not exercise the option, the loan funds advanced will be repaid to Kenai by GOA.
  2. Kenai has a further option to acquire further 25% by payment to GOA of A$1m and committing to provide A$1m project funding.
  3. GOA has right to continuing participation at 25% level or can sell 25% to Kenai based on US$30/oz for attributable CIM Mineral Resources gold ounces plus US$60/oz for attributable CIM Mineral Reserves gold ounces at that time.
  4. Kenai to pay a 10% Net Profits Interest (NPI) for 5 years to GOA over Kenai's attributable interest, whether at 50% or 75%.
Kenai's objectives in this transaction are to undertake local and regional exploration and development, over the tenement area covering 1,416 hectares, initially targeting one million gold ounces in the 56 hectare core area, the site of extensive prior garimpeiro surface workings. Kenai's project funding is to generate the necessary data to accelerate a Mining Lease application.
Kenai will assume the role of project manager, utilizing existing GOA personnel as well as its own personnel. The focus is on fast tracking initial gold production and defining a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource. GOA has been planning the commencement of production by the end of 2010 at the rate of 20,000 gold ounces per annum. Production is planned from an expected high grade gold deposit using a minimal capital cost, low operating cost gravity recovery operation. On exercise of the Option, Kenai's participation will be as an incorporated joint venture with GOA, covering GOA's rights under contract with the local garimpeiro landowner. This landowner has recently been granted a 12 month trial mining permit or GUIA, with a possible 12 month extension to the permit, during which time a feasibility study for a full scale project is planned to be completed. As Greg Starr, President of Kenai is also a Director of Gold Anomaly; the intended transaction may be determined by the TSX Exchange as a non-arms length acquisition.
About the Sao Chico Gold Project, Pará State, Brazil:
The Sao Chico project is located 340 kilometres south-east of the major city of Manaus. It lies within a prominent north-west to south-east trend in Brazil's TapajĂłs Mineral Field, exploited over only the past 30 years by a gold rush of some 500,000 garimpeiros, ie artisanal alluvial miners, for the production of unofficially estimated 20 to 30 million ounces of gold. With little underground mining expertise, the garimpeiros were urged by government to consolidate their claims and joint venture with established mining companies. The field has had little modern exploration undertaken.
San Chico is in cleared low grade farming land adjacent to the Transgarimpeiro Highway, at a road distance of about 350 kilometres or 8 hours' drive from the regional city of Itaituba, to the north-east. Light aircraft from Itaituba service Sao Chico via two local airstrips.
Extensive surface mining has been undertaken by garimpeiros at Sao Chico for over 20 years, with minor underground workings in primary rock which occurs at less than 20 metres depth. There are several sub-parallel gold-bearing coarse grained quartz/sulphide veins, with a strike length so far known of 1000 metres.
Investigations by GOA to date have determined the following:
  • Veins weathered up to around 10 metres depth, free dig by excavator to the depth of oxidation.
  • Underground sampling by GOA along about 70 metres of drives from a 20 metre deep shaft in free-standing primary rock, with average gold grades of 15 g/t, from over 100 samples. 
  • Good metallurgical recoveries, both by gravity and cyanidation methods.
Current plans are for delivery during October of a 100 tonnes per day capacity, integrated gravity processing plant, which will allow commencement of the GUIA trial mining at the permit rate of 50,000 tonnes per annum by year end. There are abundant local water supplies and ample tailings dam capacity.
From its due diligence investigations, Kenai considers there is excellent potential at Sao Chico for delineation of NI 43-101 mineral resources of sufficient tonnage and grade to support a substantial gold project operation. An independent NI 43-101 report is currently being prepared for the project.
The TapajĂłs gold region is situated in the south-central part of the vast Amazon Craton, which is divided into two, the Guyana Shield north of the Amazon River and the Brazilian Shield, with its nucleus as the Archaean greenstone-granitoid terrane, south of the Amazon. As shown in the appended regional geology plan (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/k921c.pdf), Sao Chico is in the same geological unit, the intrusive Parauari Suite, as the Tocantinzinho (TZ), Palito and Sao Domingo projects. TZ is a major gold project acquired for CAD$122 million in July 2010 by Eldorado Gold (TSX:ELD, ASX:EAU). In June 2010, ELD acquired 26.8% equity in Serabi Mining plc, the AIM-listed company which owns 100% of the Palito underground mine. From Sao Chico, the TZ project is 54 kilometres north-west and Palito is 23 kilometres east north-east.
Kenai Chairman Daniel Kunz said today, "Kenai is pleased to be joint venturing with Gold Anomaly on the Sao Chico project. We are committed to bringing the project into production in the short term and have expectations of defining a significant resource at Sao Chico leading to a long term mining project. Kenai has negotiated a deal structure that overall is low-risk in terms of financial exposure in the event that our positive expectations for Sao Chico are not realised during the Option Agreement period."
GOA Non Executive Director Tom Fermanis said today, "We believe our shareholders will view this agreement as favourable. The agreement with Kenai injects funds into the Sao Chico project, fast tracking production and exploration, and should a JORC or CIM NI 43-101 compliant resource be developed at Sao Chico, both GOA and Kenai will share in the upside. Kenai are targeting a potential million ounce deposit, potentially enabling GOA to benefit from a strong cash flow from the project. The agreement with Kenai will enable GOA management to fully focus on developing its flagship Crater Mountain project in PNG".
About Kenai Resources:
Kenai is a Canadian company focussed on precious mineral project exploration and development, towards early significant gold production. In addition to the Albisu, Nevada, advanced gold exploration project, Kenai's principal project assets are the wholly-owned Quartz Mountain and Hope Butte gold projects in South-Eastern Oregon, both located in Malheur County, close to the Oregon border with Idaho. All three of these projects are epithermal gold projects.
Kenai's current gold resources from the two Oregon projects, aggregating approximately 500,000 contained gold ounces, are summarized as follows:
Project Tonnes Grade Ounces Au Status/Classification
Quartz Mountain 15,050,200 0.80 g/t Au 352,667 Indicated Resources, NI 43-101 compliant
Hope Butte 5,000,000 0.91 g/t Au 146,300 Historical, not NI 43-101 compliant
Footnotes:
  1. For Quartz Mountain, resources above a 0.34 g/t cutoff with silver converted to gold equivalent using a ratio of 49.5:1 silver to gold. Metallurgical recoveries were not considered. Indicated resources are as reported in an independent November 2006 NI 43-101 report, posted on SEDAR at that time.
  2. The Hope Butte resources are considered historic in nature, do not comply with current NI 43-101 standards, have not been verified by the Company and therefore should not be relied upon. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource.
Shares Outstanding: 31,231,734
On behalf of the Board of Kenai Resources Limited

Mining News; Douglas Lake (OTCBB:DLKM) Acquires 100% Interest in 4 New Properties Bordering Canaco in the Handeni District

Mining News; Douglas Lake (OTCBB:DLKM) Acquires 100% Interest in 4 New Properties Bordering Canaco in the Handeni District


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  Sept. 22, 2010 - Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. (OTCBB:DLKM)(FRANKFURT:D60) is very pleased to announce that the Company has recently received approval from its Board of Directors to both enter into and immediately close upon the terms and conditions of a certain Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement"), with IPP Gold Ltd. ("IPP Gold"), to acquire a 100% interest in four prospecting licences (the "PLs"), totaling approximately 800 square kilometres, located in the Handeni District of Tanzania and which are owned or controlled by IPP Gold and its affiliates.
Harp Sangha, CEO of the Company, stated: "This new Acquisition Agreement with IPP Gold represents a significant step forward for the Company. Along with our new partners at IPP Gold, we will map out our new strategy and course of action over the coming weeks and months. The Handeni District has become alive with activity since the extraordinary drilling results from Canaco Resources have placed this region on the world stage. We plan to focus our energy and resources on the exploration and potential development of this new acquisition. Our aim is to direct Douglas Lake down a path towards success."
On September 13, 2010 Canaco announced significant new exploration developments including the identification of important new parallel trends of gold mineralization and discovery of a new mineralized zone five kilometres W/NW of the Magambazi Gold Discovery. Early results from the regional exploration on the Handeni Gold Trend indicate the work program has already made significant progress in identifying new gold targets and upgrading the potential of previously identified gold zones. Over the past month, the regional program has included over 3000 metres of Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling, approximately 10,000 metres of reconnaissance Rotary Air Blast ("RAB") drilling, a detailed airborne survey, detailed mapping of some of the key target areas defined to date and geochemical interpretation. The Handeni Gold trend is now recognized as consisting of two, parallel gold trends with a combined strike length of over 15 kilometres (Source: Canaco Resources).
In April 2010, TD Newcrest, A Division of TD Securities, initiated coverage of Canaco Resources and announced a speculative buy recommendation with a $1.25 target price. They now believe that $175/oz is an appropriate resource multiple given the forecast high grade/low cost nature of the ounces discovered to date by Canaco. They have revised their target price to $6 per share and maintain their speculative buy rating.
The closing of the Acquisition Agreement
In accordance with the closing today of the Acquisition Agreement IPP Gold has now become a major stakeholder in the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement the Company has now issued 133,333,333 restricted shares of common stock to IPP Gold in exchange for 100% interest in the four PLs of the new Handeni Project, with no further payments in shares or cash required. This acquisition of these four PLs as a whole represents the largest land position in the Handeni District, and the boundary area is geologically contiguous to Canaco's Magambazi gold project.
In addition, and accordance with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company has also accepted the consent to act as both a director and as the Chairman of the Company from Reginald Mengi, together with the consents to act as directors of the Company from each of Reyno Scheepers and Douglas Boateng. Mr. Mengi will replace the Honorable Joseph Rugumyamheto as the Company's Chairman and Mr. Rugumyamheto will continue to serve as a director of the Company.

These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans, "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and should be viewed as "forward-looking statements". Such forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and other factors include, among others, the actual results of exploration activities, the availability of capital to fund programs and the resulting dilution caused by the raising of capital through the sale of shares, accidents, labour disputes and other risks of the mining industry including, without limitation, those associated with the environment, delays in obtaining governmental approvals, permits or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, title disputes or claims limitations on insurance coverage. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained in this news release and in any document referred to in this news release.
Forward looking statements are made based on management's beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if these beliefs, estimates and opinions or other circumstances should change, except as required by applicable law. Such forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the risks and uncertainties outlined in our most recent financial statements and reports and registration statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (available at http://www.sec.gov/) and with Canadian securities administrators (available at http://www.sedar.com/). Such risks and uncertainties may include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's filings with the SEC, such as the ability to obtain additional financing, the effect of economic and business conditions, the ability to attract and retain skilled personnel and factors outside the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release, and the Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. Although the Company believes that the beliefs, plans, expectations and intentions contained in this news release are reasonable, there can be no assurance those beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions will prove to be accurate. Investors should consider all of the information set forth herein and should also refer to the risk factors disclosed in the Company's periodic reports filed from time-to-time with the SEC. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities of the Company nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
