Copper Stocks; Toro Resources Corp (CNSX:TRK) : Positive Independent Consultant Report for the Morgan Peak Copper Project

Copper Stocks; Toro Resources Corp (CNSX:TRK) : Positive Independent Consultant Report for the Morgan Peak Copper Project


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 28, 2010) - Toro Resources Corp. (CNSX:TRK) (the "Company") is pleased to announce completion of initial mapping and an aerial survey at its Morgan Peak Copper Project. The project is located within the World Class Globe-Miami Mining District in central Arizona, close to major copper mines, such as the recently opened Carlota (Quadra/FNX), and major new discoveries such as Resolution (Rio Tinto/BHP Billiton).
The Company implemented an evaluation and mapping program by Dr. Warren Pratt. Dr. Pratt examined Morgan Peak over a 10-day period in July. In his executive summary, Dr. Pratt confirms the presence of significant copper mineralization across an area of roughly 3 km x 0.8 km. He also emphasizes potential for other mineralized zones in previously ignored areas and considers many of the targets as "virtually drill ready". Dr. Pratt's discovery of the Birthday Zone, an untested target with great promise, highlights the need for detailed mapping of the entire project. His work provides an excellent starting point for remapping.
"We are excited by the positive report from Dr. Pratt and the new targets he has generated," said Bill Galine, president of Toro Resources. "We are fortunate that Dr. Pratt could assess the property. As well as confirming known copper mineralization, probably leachable, in the West part of the area, he agrees that the Morgan Peak project has significant exploration potential. His new drill targets reinforce our view that additional mineralization will be found elsewhere on the large claim block."
Geologic mapping, sampling and drilling are scheduled for later in the year, depending on permitting. A recent aerial survey over approximately 1550 hectares at Morgan Peak will produce air photos, a topographic map with 1 m contours, and an orthophoto map of the claim at a scale of 1:1000. All will be used for detailed geologic mapping in the near future. A field survey program will provide detailed surface information including sampling, outcrop and contact locations, as well as accurate historic drill hole locations with elevations.
Toro's disclosure of a technical or scientific nature in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Bernie Stannus P.Eng, Toro's vice-president of exploration, who serves as a qualified person under the definition of National Instrument 43-101. Toro Resources recently launched its website which includes the company's new corporate presentation and fact sheet. Please visit www.tororesources.com. Toro Resources Corp. (CNSX:TRK) is a publicly held Canadian exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties located in favourable geo-political areas. The Company is led by a highly skilled and experienced board and has a management team that has had significant success in managing early stage mineral exploration companies.

Silver Stocks; Wildcat Updates Preliminary Economic Assessment on Hardshell; 6 Million Ounces Per Year Silver Production, NPV of $357 Million; Announces $5 Million Private Placement

Silver Stocks; Wildcat Updates Preliminary Economic Assessment on Hardshell; 6 Million Ounces Per Year Silver Production, NPV of $357 Million; Announces $5 Million Private Placement


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 28, 2010) - Wildcat Silver Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WS) ("Wildcat" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results of an updated scoping study on its 80%-owned Hardshell project in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The Company also announces it has negotiated a private placement to raise up to $5 million to fund the continued development of the project.
The updated preliminary economic assessment (PEA) demonstrates a net present value of US$357 million (7.5%), with an internal rate of return of 19% on an after-tax basis. Silver production is expected to average approximately 6 million ounces for the first five years, with cash costs for producing silver estimated to be negative $0.40 per ounce for the first five years, net of by-products and taxes. The initial capital cost is estimated to be US$337 million, and will include an open pit and underground operation lasting 18 years. The PEA assumed metal prices of $16.78 per ounce silver, $8.13 per dry metric ton (DMTU) manganese or $0.41 per pound contained manganese, $0.91 per pound zinc, and $3.07 per pound copper.
"The Hardshell project continues to demonstrate robust economics, low risk and a very low cost silver production capacity in a mining friendly location," says Chris Jones, President and CEO of Wildcat Silver Corporation. "This, coupled with the potential benefits for southern Arizona in terms of jobs and tax proceeds, makes Hardshell a great project. Further, the $5 million private placement will fund the significant exploration program we have planned."
Financial Highlights
The Cases:
Price Scenario60/40 Prices (Base Case)Recent Prices
NPV @ 7.5%$357M$423M
IRR19%21%
Silver Price $/oz16.7818.42
Manganese Price $/lb0.410.42
Zinc Price $/lb0.910.95
Copper Price $/lb3.073.33
M3 Engineering and Technology ("M3") of Tucson, Arizona prepared the PEA and NI 43-101 technical reports, which will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days. The M3 study concludes that the project has potential to be feasible and should progress to pre-feasibility engineering, and that there are further opportunities to improve and optimize the project's economics.
M3 used 60/40 base pricing for NI 43-101 reporting purposes, reflecting 60% historical and 40% forward market prices. This represents our base case pricing. A forward market is not available for manganese, thus the long term price is estimated to be $8.13 per DMTU, or $0.41 per pound contained manganese. The three-year trailing average for manganese is $9.53 per DMTU, or $0.43 per pound contained manganese.
Recent pricing represents recent cash prices as reported by the London Metals Exchange, or in the case of manganese, in Ryan's Notes during August 2010.
Mineral Resource Estimate
The mineral resource at Hardshell has been previously reported in the April 20, 2010 press release, and is included here for reference:
Mineral Resource Estimate ($55/ton cutoff)
Indicated OxideTonnes (000s)Silver (g/t)Manganese (%)Zinc (%)Copper (%)
6,004187.86.831.030.10
Inferred OxideTonnes (000s)Silver (g/t)Manganese (%)Zinc (%)Copper (%)
39,26861.07.661.550.06
Inferred Sulfide6,99935.05.772.250.10
Production Estimate
The mining process at Hardshell will initially be an open pit, with underground operations beginning four years after start-up. Current plans call for producing 3,630 tonnes of ore per day. The processing facility will use an SO2 leach followed by copper precipitation, zinc SXEW, as well as manganese and silver recovery circuits. The Hardshell project is expected to produce, over its 18 year life, an annual average of:
  • 4.1 million ounces of silver
  • 233,000 tonnes of manganese carbonate
  • 20,187 tonnes of zinc cathode
  • 960 tonnes of copper
Manganese
Manganese is the fourth largest metal market in terms of tonnage after iron, aluminum and copper, with 2008 production totalling 46 million tonnes of ore. Manganese has numerous common applications and plays a vital role in the smelting of iron ore into steel, as well as an alloy for various high-wear and other steels. U.S. Domestic demand for manganese is 4 million tonnes per year.
The Hardshell project is expected to produce an average of 233,000 tonnes of manganese carbonate per year. Prices for manganese ores have averaged over $9.50 per dry metric tonne unit (three year trailing average), or approximately $0.43 per pound manganese, so there is considerable additional value to be realized. The Company has also been in recent discussions with various parties as potential purchasers for the metal. However, Wildcat intends to retain its interest in manganese as it believes considerable upside remains.
Private Placement
Wildcat also announces it has arranged for a non-brokered private placement of up to ten million units at a price of $0.50 per unit, for gross proceeds of up to $5 million. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one half of one non-transferable share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.75 per common share for a period of one year following the closing of the private placement.
Proceeds from the financing will be used to execute a 12,500 ft (4,000 meter) exploration drilling program designed to explore high value targets around the existing mineral resource. Metallurgical drilling will also be undertaken to provide material for studies designed to reduce forecasted processing costs. Wildcat also plans to operate a pilot plant with this material to further define the metallurgical operating characteristics and provide detailed design inputs for the Hardshell processing plant.
Qualified Person
The PEA and NI 43-101 technical reports were prepared by an integrated team led by M3 Engineering and Technology Corporation ("M3") of Tucson, Arizona as the primary author of the technical report. The technical report was conducted under the overall review of Timothy S. Oliver, P.E. of M3, and independent Qualified Person under the standards set forth under NI 43-101. Timothy S.

Vanstar (TSX VENTURE:VSR) Acquires 2 Gold Properties in Abitibi

Vanstar (TSX VENTURE:VSR) Acquires 2 Gold Properties in Abitibi


LA PRAIRIE, QUEBEC--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 27, 2010) - The management of Vanstar Mining Resources Inc («Vanstar»)(TSX VENTURE:VSR) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 2 gold properties in Abitibi, Quebec.
The Nelligan property comprises 92 cells covering an area of 4,968 hectares and is located near Chapais in Abitibi.
Geological description of the Nelligan project
Nelligan showing
The central part of the property hosts a volcano-sedimentary sequence between 1 to 2 km in length, trending ENE that is associated with the Obatogamau Formation. This mineralization is located near a large EW to ENE deformation corridor within the Guercheville-Fancamp system. The geological and structural environment is favorable to the presence of Archean mesothermal gold mineralization of vein and replacement types. This is the same context as the Joe Mann mine (3.35M t at 9.1g/t), the Phillibert deposit (1.5Mt at 5.4g/t) and the Chevrier deposit (1.8Mt at 5.1g/t).
Historical drilling shows grades of 2.17 g/t Au and 3.5 g/t Au (drill holes 94-13 and 95-01) on respective widths of 4.4 and 10 metres.
Phillibert showing
The Phillibert 1 showing is hosted in an amphibolitized and lightly epidotized gabbro. The gold mineralization is linked to a white to smoky quartz vein with tourmaline, carbonate and is lightly mineralized with pyrite. Gold seems more abundant where the quartz vein contains tourmaline and/or pyrite. The historical data mentions grades of 31.06 g/t Au and 2.54 g/t Ag on 1.22 m, 22.66 g/t on 1 m and another one with 6.0 g/t Au on 1 m in channel sampling. Drill hole 973-02 returned grades of 18.86 g/t Au on 0.60 metre.
Vanstar will own 100 % of this property in exchange of a $4,160 cash payment and the issuing of 225,000 common shares of Vanstar to the sellers of the property. The sellers are keeping a 2% NSR which 1 % can be purchased for $1,000,000.
The Destor property comprises 72 cells covering an area of 3,888 hectares and is located 30 km north of Rouyn-Noranda.
Description of the Destor project
Two blocks of claims composes the Destor project. They are located within the favorable geological environment of the Destor-Porcupine Fault where many gold deposits can be found, notably the former Beattie mine ( Clifton Star- Osisko ), the Fayolle deposit and the Duquesne mine. Many Megatem anomalies can be found on the north block while many metal base and input showings show up on the south block.
Vanstar will own 100 % of this property in exchange of a cash payment of $3,354 and the issuing of 500,000 common shares of Vanstar to the seller of the property. The seller is keeping a 0.5 % NSR.
These new acquisitions are part of Vanstar's strategy to progressively acquire high potential properties in various geological environments within the province of Quebec. A geological compilation will follow the acquisition of these new properties.
This press release was read and approved by Mr. Gilles Laverdière, geologist and Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.

Velocity Minerals (TSX:VLC) Announces Staking of Idaho Gold Prospect

Velocity Minerals  (TSX:VLC) Announces Staking of Idaho Gold Prospect


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 27, 2010) - Velocity Minerals Ltd. (TSX:VLC) is pleased to announce that it has staked 60 claims (A1 to A60) in the Orogrande mining district in Idaho county, Idaho State using the professional services of Idaho registered surveyors. The 60 contiguous claims cover an area of approximately 1240 acres in the historic Orogrande Mining Division in central Idaho near an area known for past gold production.
The ground staked by Velocity has received relatively little recent exploration. The district, however, is known to contain multiple gold occurrences with some grades running as high as 0.8 ounce per ton. The claims completely surround two patented claims that contain the Homestake Mine, which is located in the Crooked River watershed, southeast of Grangeville, Idaho.
The A claims are also adjacent to and south of Premium Exploration Inc.'s Friday-Petsite project. Premium has an active 10,000 meter diamond drilling program underway on the Friday-Petsite approximately 3 kilometers north of the northern boundary of Velocity's claims. In a press release on August 10, 2010, Premium announced assay results for holes PFR2010-4, PFR2010-5, and PFR2010-6 of that program. Premium indicated that these holes advance the development of its new Lower Block, continuing resource growth and the establishment of at least 100 meters of mineralized width at depth, which remains open along strike and at depth.
Highlights of that release (dated August 10, 2010) include:
PFR2010-4 1.5 g/t gold over 150.0 meters including
  2.5 g/t gold over 36.9 meters including
  8.3 g/t gold over 4.9 meters
   
PFR2010-5 0.9 g/t gold over 267.0 meters including
  1.5 g/t gold over 72.2 meters including
  3.4 g/t gold over 11.0 meters
   
PFR2010-6 0.5 g/t gold over 226.0 meters including
  2.5 g/t gold over 16.4 meters
In a further press release on September 20, 2010, Premium announced assay results for the next six holes of the ongoing drill program at the Friday-Petsite project. Premium indicated in that release that these six holes, in addition to the six previously released, have successfully doubled the down-dip extension of the resource from 150 meters to 300 meters of depth and have developed 300 meters of the lower block mineralization along strike. Premium also said that in maximizing drill footage, all six holes did not fully cross-cut the zone and, hence, terminated in mineralization allowing Premium to achieve its goal of resource growth while simultaneously revealing the potential at depth.
Highlights of that release include:
PFR2010-8 0.7 g/t gold over 162.4 meters including
  2.0 g/t gold over 19.5 meters including
  3.1 g/t gold over 9.1 meters
   
PFR2010-11 0.8 g/t gold over 107.9 meters including
  1.1  g/t gold over 42.1 meters
   
PFR2010-13 0.7 g/t gold over 222.2 meters including
  1.1  g/t gold over 41.2 meters including
  2.3 g/t gold over 11.9 meters
HISTORICAL PRODUCTION
According to National Gold, Inc., a company registered in the state of Delaware and the holder of the patented claims on which the Homestake mine is situated:
"Gold exploration in the region dates back to 1861 when placer gold deposits were found on Newsome Creek near Elk City, 10 miles east of the Homestake Mine.
At least ten lode gold mines were in production in the Orogrande Mining District from the late 1890's to the late 1930's. Large scale placer mining using hydraulic mining and dredges began in the early 1900's and resulted in a huge increase in gold production. Placer mines outnumbered lode mines until World War II put a temporary stop to gold mining.
Five adits are located on the Homestake Mine but the exact time of development is unknown.
According to the previous owners, all five adits were being worked in the 1930's and 1940's until World War II interrupted all mining activity. Considerable evidence remains on the site from that period. Many old buildings used to support the working crews are still standing, although they are now unsuitable for any use due to advanced deterioration. In addition, the remains of an old crusher are evident.
Extensive work has been done on the Homestake. At 6,464 feet a vein has been exploited to a depth of 30 feet. There is another mine at 6,393 feet which has been dug to 150 feet. At 6,192 feet there is a mine that goes 1,150 feet into the mountain. And at 6,192 feet there is a mine that extends 880 feet."

Velocity Minerals Ltd. is a public company dedicated to the acquisition, exploration and development of molybdenum, gold and other mineral resources. In addition to the Company's two Cassiar, B.C. area properties, its Southeastern B.C. gold prospect and its Idaho claims, several other opportunities in the mining industry in North America and elsewhere are actively being pursued.

Kenneth R. Holmes, Chairman

Golden Tag (TSX VENTURE:GOG) Reports Initial Rulings of Arbitration-ECU is Removed as Operator of San Diego Joint Venture

Golden Tag (TSX VENTURE:GOG) Reports Initial Rulings of Arbitration-ECU is Removed as Operator of San Diego Joint Venture


MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining blog) - Sept. 27, 2010) - Golden Tag Resources Ltd (TSX VENTURE:GOG) ("GOG") is pleased to announce that it has received a decision in the matter of arbitration between Golden Tag and ECU Silver Mining Inc. ("ECU") over numerous breaches by ECU of the Joint Venture Agreement ("JVA") governing the highly prospective San Diego Property in Velardeña, Mexico.
GOG requested arbitration in June 2009 to resolve many difficulties encountered with ECU. This action was taken after a 3 month period in which time ECU failed to resolve the outstanding issues. The first stage of the arbitration focused on the question of liability and the arbitration Award was issued on September 20th, 2010.
A second stage of arbitration to deal with the issue of damages may proceed as GOG has now been successful in proving fault by ECU. GOG has the right to elect to proceed with the second stage hearing by notification to the arbitration panel within 30 days of the Award.
The arbitration panel has confirmed:
1/ GOG was justified in commencing and proceeding with the arbitration. ECU admitted significant breaches of the JVA. It admitted that it used GOG's funds to pay creditors that were not creditors of the Joint Venture and commingled these funds with its own. In addition to these egregious breaches, ECU committed other defaults under the JVA including, among others, improper removal of ore-bearing stockpiles, failure to produce financial statements and failure to advise of lack of funds to complete the Phase 4 program.
2/ ECU failed to pay invoices of the two principal contractors during Phase 4 drilling which resulted in the premature termination of the program in December 2008 when drills were removed from the property by the contractor and reporting on all assay results was suspended. As of mid-2009 the contractors remained unpaid by ECU and full payment was only confirmed in March 2010.
3/ ECU failed to pay its share of the costs of the Phase 4 exploration program on a timely basis. In addition ECU used funds received from GOG during Phase 4 to pay invoices that were not connected with the Joint Venture.
4/ ECU failed to provide required financial statements.
The conclusion outlined by the Arbitrators in the Award of September 20th states that ECU's behavior is "Egregious". The Award makes the following immediate orders:
1/ECU is to pay GOG's costs.
2/ Neither party will be diluted from their current 50% interests.
3/ An audit of the financial records of the Joint Venture by an independent firm of Chartered Accountants is to prepare adequate financial statements for the Joint Venture for December 31, 2010. The parties have 60 days to agree on auditors. Audit costs will be paid 2/3rds by ECU and 1/3rd GOG.
4/ ECU is to transfer to GOG a 50% interest in the Cortez Mining Rights (San Diego) for no additional consideration.
5/ ECU is to pay GOG 50% of the gross revenue it reported from metals in the stockpile material mined from the property in 2009, an amount equal to US$60,565.12.
6/ ECU has been removed as Operator. The Management Committee is to meet within 30 days to select a new Operator. If there is no agreement on selection of Operator after 60 days, additional submissions may be made for arbitration of this decision.
7/ GOG may, within 25 days of the date of the Award, make submissions seeking payment of its legal fees.
It is the Company's intention to work with ECU to resolve outstanding issues related to the arbitration ruling in an expedient manner as possible so that work may re-commence on the property as soon as possible. The Company intends on issuing more information in the near future.
San Diego Property, Durango State, Mexico
Four phases of surface exploration have been undertaken by the JV on the San Diego Property. Successful exploration drilling has to date identified a major new polymetallic Silver –Lead – Zinc – (Gold) [Ag-Pb-Zn-(Au)] mineral discovery on an extension of the Velardeña Mine trend. NI 43-101 compliant reporting in January 2009 [News Release: Jan 19th 2009] identifies combined Joint Venture Mineral Resources of:
  • Indicated Resources: 0.371 Million tonnes (MT) grading 245 grams Ag per tonne (Ag g/t), 1.80 percent Pb (% Pb), 1.33 percent Zn (% Zn) and 0.339 grams Au per tonne (Au g/t); representing
    • 4.25 Million Ounces of Silver-equivalent (oz.Ag.EQ); and,
  • Inferred Resources: 21.63 Million tonnes (MT) grading 110 Ag g/t, 1.84 % Pb, 2.21 % Zn and 0.134 Au g/t; representing an additional
    • 214.3 Million oz.Ag EQ.
  • Micon International Inc. also estimated that the property remains highly prospective with additional mineral potential, on strike and at depth, of an additional estimated
    • 173.5 to 389.5 Million oz.Ag EQ.
Golden Tag Resources Ltd.
Golden Tag is a junior exploration company exploring for high grade gold and silver deposits at the San Diego silver project in Durango State, Mexico; the Aquilon Gold project in James Bay, Quebec; and the McCuaig gold project in Red Lake, Ontario.

Investorideas.com - ADVENTURE GOLD (TSX-V:AGE) ACQUIRES THE GRANADA EXTENSION PROPERTY ADJACENT TO GOLD BULLION'S LONG BARS ZONE, ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC




MONTREAL, QC September 27, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining stocks newswire) - Adventure Gold Inc. (AGE: TSX-V) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce the acquisition of the new high gold potential Granada Extension property covering approximately 200 hectares along the Cadillac Larder Lake Gold Break, in the Rouyn-Noranda mining camp, Quebec (Figure 1 – see website). The Property includes the interpreted lateral and southern extensions of the Gold Bullion Long Bars Zone, where a preliminary block model outlined a gold-mineralized system that offers a potential of 2.4 million ounces of gold (non-compliant with NI 43-101; Gold Bullion press release, April 22, 2010). The Granada Extension property boundary (Figure 2 – see website) is located less than 30 meters from the southernmost part of the former Granada Mine pit #2, 250 meters East of drill hole GR-10-17 which had returned 1.0 g/t Au over 99 meters and less than 450 meters West of pit #1 and drill hole GR-10-21 which had returned 2.2 g/t Au over 20 meters (Gold Bullion press release, March 1, 2010).

Jules Riopel, Vice-President Exploration and Acquisitions at Adventure Gold stated: "A proven major gold structure environment and several favourable geological features were recognized on the Property, leading us to acquire this strategic land position. In fact, porphyritic dykes, shear zones, and quartz veins were observed South and South West of the former Granada Mine. Moreover, our interpretation of the information released by Gold Bullion and those from the Quebec Sigeom database suggest that the Long Bars Zone probably extends onto our new Property and these extensions had never been drilled. A prospecting program is slated to start this week."
The Granada Extension property consists of 11 mining titles, three of which were bought from two individuals in counterpart of staged cash payments totalling $50,000 over 4 years, 100,000 shares and 250,000 stock options at $0.25 of the Company. The vendors will retain a 1.5% NSR, of which 0.5% can be bought back for $500,000. The shares issued by the Company pursuant to the agreement with the vendors shall be subject to a four-month hold period from their issuance date. This agreement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Jules Riopel P.Geo. Vice-President Exploration and Acquisitions, who acts as the Company's "Qualified Person" as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed this press release.
Profile:

About the Changyun Coal Project
Located within the Bijie coal fields, Guizhou Province, the Changyun coal mine covers an area of 2.0954 sq. km with valid mining permits for a 150,000 MTPY coal mining operation, which may be expanded to 300,000 - 500,000 MTPY. Local historical reports (non-compliant with NI43-101) state that coal seams within the mine area are highly altered and would produce a low ash, low to medium sulphur (average 0.23%), and low-volatile (7-8% volatile matter) product, with high gross calorific value that ranges from 6400 to 7200 Kcal/kg. The thermal grade coal is suitable for power plant use. A ready market for production exists with the nearby power plants and other end users within Guizhou province.


In addition to the mine, Changyun has recently been provided with preferential rights to explore and develop a 20 sq. km of highly prospective exploration land surrounding the mine.
