Vancouver, British Columbia – September 23, 2021:Investorideas.com Newswire, MiningSectorStocks.com and RenewableEnergyStocks.com -Mining/Metals/ Green Energy Stock News- Defense Metals Corp. (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ 35D: FSE) is pleased to announce that in light of renewed and sustained uranium interest which has driven uranium spot prices to multi-year highs, it has commenced an updated internal technical review of its Athabasca Basin uranium project holdings.

During 2018, Defense Metals acquired 100% of the Geiger North and Klaproth projects for a combination of cash and share payments; with Geiger North being subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty. The projects comprise a total of five mineral claims totalling 9,363 hectares (ha) located in the northeast Athabasca Basin, with the Geiger North claims (1,233 ha) being in good standing until summer-fall 2022, and Klaproth (8,130 ha) in good standing until early 2023.

The Geiger North and Klaproth projects are located approximately 35 kilometres northwest of the McClean Lake mine and mill, in a relatively under-explored area of the Athabasca Basin adjacent to the Wollaston-Mudjatik transition zone – a major crustal suture related to most of the major uranium deposits in the eastern Athabasca Basin.

 

The Geiger North and Klaproth projects are surrounded by multiple major mining companies, giving the company a strategic foothold in a proven and prolific uranium mining district.

Uranium mineralization in the northeast Athabasca Basin and vicinity of the Geiger and Klaproth projects is typically associated sheared graphitic-gneiss basement rocks that present as prominent conductive anomalies. Defense Metals is currently initiating an updated review of historical exploration (diamond drilling, ground, and airborne magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical, and geochemical surveys) completed within the projects. The expectation is that results of the data review will form the basis for go-forward justification for renewed exploration up to and including commissioning of project wide airborne electromagnetic geophysical surveys to identify prospective basement conductive anomalies.

 

Craig Taylor, CEO of Defense Metals, stated: “The renewed interest in uranium has prompted Defense Metals to reassess its considerable land position in the prolific northeast Athabasca Basin. While the Company’s focus remains on advancing it flagship Wicheeda REE Deposit near Prince George, British Columbia, we look forward to further capitalizing on the shareholder value  brought by the Geiger North and Klaproth Projects.”

#Metals / #GreenEnergy #Stock Defense Metals (TSX-V: $DEFN.V) (OTCQB: $DFMTF) Reports Drills 215 Metres Carbonatite -the longest carbonatite interval ever drilled on the Project; @DefenseMetals  

Vancouver, British Columbia – September 22, 2021: –Investorideas.com Newswire, MiningSectorStocks.com and RenewableEnergyStocks.com -Mining/Metals/ Green Energy Stock News- Defense Metals Corp. (“Defense Metals”) (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ 35D: FSE), is pleased to provide an update with respect to its ongoing Wicheeda Rare Earth Element (REE) deposit resource expansion and delineation diamond drill program. The first drill hole of the 2021 campaign testing the North Zone of the Wicheeda REE Deposit has intersected a 215-metre core interval of visually REE mineralized carbonatite, the longest carbonatite interval ever drilled on the Project (Figure 1). The program is progressing on schedule and is currently on the 4th drill hole, with over 750 metres drilled to date.

Technical Report on the Wicheeda Property, British Columbia, effective June 27, 2020 and prepared by APEX Geoscience Ltd. (Steven J. Nicholls, B.A. Sc., MAIG and Kristopher J. Raffle, B.Sc., P.Geo.) is available under Defense Metals Corp.’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com)


Drill hole WI21-33 (350az/-80o) was designed to test the North Zone of the Wicheeda REE Deposit, which remains open to expansion, and collared into visually REE mineralized carbonatite, and remained in carbonatite to a depth of 220 metres downhole. Significantly the intercept extends 120 metres vertically below the bottom of nearest mineralized drill hole (WI19-32) and 70 metres and below the base of the current resource pit shell, reinforcing that the north end of the Wicheeda REE Deposit is open to expansion (Figure 2).

 

The drill hole was designed to follow-up and expand to depth mineralization in nearby 2019 drill holes that yielded some of the highest REE grades to date including hole WI19-31 that intersected 4.43% LREO over 83 metres; including 5.47% LREO over 33 metres; and WI19-32 the final hole of the 2019 campaign that returned 4.01% LREO over 58 metres2 (see Defense Metals News Release Dated December 12, 2019).

 

The 2021 Wicheeda diamond drill program is designed to build on the successes of the 2019 campaign in support of future advanced economic studies. The 2021 drill program will focus on expanding the zone REE mineralized dolomite-carbonatite to the north, in addition to further delineating existing inferred resources within the central and northwestern areas of the deposit

 

Craig Taylor, CEO of Defense Metals, stated: “Defense Metals is extremely pleased to not only be making steady progress in completing our 2021 resource expansion and delineation drill program, but to have out first hole exceed our expectation in terms of visual indications of REE mineralization and being the longest carbonatite interval drilled to date on the Project. This reaffirms our believe in the significant expansion potential of the Wicheeda REE Deposit.”

 

About the Wicheeda REE Property

The 1,708 hectare Wicheeda REE Property, located approximately 80 km northeast of the city of Prince George, British Columbia, is readily accessible by all-weather gravel roads and is nearby to infrastructure, including power transmission lines, the CN railway and major highways.

 

Geologically, the property is situated in the Foreland Belt and within the Rocky Mountain Trench, a major continental geologic feature. The Foreland Belt contains part of a large alkaline igneous province, stretching from the Canadian Cordillera to the southwestern United States, which includes several carbonatite and alkaline intrusive complexes hosting the Aley (niobium), Rock Canyon (REE), and Wicheeda (REE) deposits.

 

Qualified Person

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release as it relates to the Wicheeda REE Property has been reviewed and approved by Kristopher J. Raffle, P.Geo. (BC) Principal and Consultant of APEX Geoscience Ltd. of Edmonton, AB, a director of Defense Metals and a “Qualified Person” as defined in National Instrument 43-101  Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. Raffle verified the data disclosed which includes a review of the analytical and test data underlying the information and opinions contained therein.

#ExploringMining #Podcast – Management of #Colombian #Miner O2Gold (TSXV: $OTGO.V)
(FRA: 6210.F) Discuss Drill Results; @otgo_v

 

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, September 22 , 2021 Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases today’s edition of Exploring Mining Podcast, featuring an exclusive interview with management of O2Gold Inc. (TSXV:OTGO) ( FRA: 6210.F) , a mineral exploration company with activities in Colombia.

Investorideas.com caught up with Jaime Nicholas Lalinde and Mateo Hernandez, upper management at O2Gold Inc. (TSXV:OTGO), to speak about the company’s recent press release regarding its first drill hole at the Aurora Tunnel in Colombia, as well as the wider potential of its land package.

 

The press release indicates that drill hole AUR-21-001 yielded the following results: 1.6 m @ 9.19 g/t Au and 1.89 g/t Ag from 97.4 m, including 0.7 m @ 20.11 g/t Au and 3.30 g/t Ag @ 97.4 m. Lalinde explained that these early results already bode well in comparison to regional averages.

 

“This is just the results from our first hole, but to find the productive vein of the Aurora Tunnel exactly where we expected it to be, is a great indication for all of the geophysics and exploration work we’ve done up until now,” he said. “20 grams per tonne is obviously an incredible grade. For a bit of context, the regional grade, region-wide…is about 6-7 grams per tonne. And the [average] regional vein width is about 40-60 cm, so we are, by a large margin, surpassing what are considered averages in an area that is extremely gold rich to begin with.”

 

Addressing the mine’s production potential, Mateo Hernandez explained the company’s options given factors such as its large land package.

 

“Depending on how we want to structure our mining plan over a ten year period, we could be talking about 30-50,000 ounces per year if we structure it linearly,” he said. “If we want it to be larger, ounces mined per year would decrease.”

 

“We expect that in the next month and a half we’re going to be working actively in the tunneling, and preparing for production on a lesser scale, then start ramping up once we have a clear indication of resources and a feasible mining plan.”

 

Owing to its being in Colombia, O2Gold, Inc. anticipates more regular updates than its North American counterparts, according to Lalinde.

 

“We had these first results, in twelve days I believe, so we expect to have all additional results on this two week timeline,” he said. “For perspective, in North America the lead time on drill core assay analysis is as little as 30 and as many as 90 days. That is an absolute killer for a junior exploration company that lives by the results that it can show.”

 

AUR-21-001 was the first hole drilled for the company’s planned 8,000 metre campaign. Lalinde indicated that, though this is not the most extensive planned campaign, its precision can yield promising results.

 

“8,000 metres is maybe not a lot – that’s what we have planned for this year – but 8,000 metres put in the right places can be a lot,” he said. “There are peers in the region that have started defining 1.5-2 million ounce deposits based on 4-6,000 metres of drilling. So it is possible for us to arrive at what we think is there by the end of the year, but what we know for sure is that the news will continue to come from here through December with drill core assays and with the progress and good news of the ongoing campaign.”

 

Hernandez too spoke about the abundance of potential present in the property’s other regions.

 

“This type of mining in this region, and its high-grade veins can be replicated across the property at a lesser CapEx than doing a full scale exploration of another deposit,” he said. “And it’s feasible to start small-scale mining in other portions as well.”
