Rye Patch Gold Corp. (OTC:RPMGF; TSX.V:RPM) Completes Work Commitment for Wilco Earn In- one year early.

Rye Patch Gold Corp. (OTC:RPMGF; TSX.V:RPM) Completes Work Commitment for Wilco Earn In- one year early.


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - March 4, 2010 (Investorideas.com Mining Stocks Newswire) - Rye Patch Gold Corp (TSX-V:RPM)(OTC.BB:RPMGF) ("Rye Patch Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed the work commitment obligations to earn a 100% interest in the Wilco project by spending over US$3 million at the project to date. This milestone was achieved one year early.


The 5 Stocks to Own in 2010 -- Free Report!"2010 has started off with Rye Patch making great strides to reach its resource goals in Nevada and add value to its shareholders. The signing of the Definitive Agreement on the REN project and now completing the earn-in at Wilco shows the company is positioned to deliver on its resource goals in Nevada. In addition, the Company anticipates completing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate on the Lincoln Hill property this spring. When completed, the estimate will be the Company's fourth resource in Nevada. With gold production declining world wide, Rye Patch is uniquely positioned with gold and silver resources in Nevada to capitalize on gold price and resource demand," stated William C. (Bill) Howald, CEO and President


Rye Patch Gold's interest in the Wilco project is subject to the back-in rights of a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont"). If Rye Patch Gold completes a positive feasibility study on the Wilco project, Newmont will then have 120 days to exercise its back-in right to earn a 60% interest in the Wilco project which, if exercised, requires Newmont to contribute expenditures totalling US$15 million on the project prior to the 8th anniversary of exercising the back-in right. Newmont may also earn an additional 10% interest in the project (for a total 70% interest) by expending an additional US$5 million (for a total of US$20 million) on the property. If Newmont declines to exercise its back-in rights, or fails to exercise such rights within the 120-day time period, or fails to complete the necessary expenditures, Rye Patch Gold may complete the acquisition of the Wilco project by making a one-time payment to Newmont of US$2 million in cash (or half in cash and the remainder in Rye Patch Gold common shares, at Rye Patch Gold's sole discretion), failing which the project reverts to Newmont. Thereafter, Newmont's sole interest in the Wilco project will be a sliding scale 2% to 5% net smelter returns royalty (NSR) in respect of all gold, silver and platinum group metals production, as determined based on the prevailing gold price, and a 3.5% NSR in respect of production from all other minerals.



Going forward, the next steps for the Wilco project will entail additional metallurgical testing and preparation work for a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Also, the Company is designing a follow-up drilling campaign for the high-grade gold zone encountered in the North Basin.

Firestone Ventures (FV:TSX-V;F5V:FSE) Announces Results from Quetzal Zinc-Lead-Silver Project

Firestone Ventures (FV:TSX-V;F5V:FSE) Announces Results from Quetzal Zinc-Lead-Silver Project

February 1, 2010 - Firestone Ventures Inc. (FV:TSX-V;F5V:FSE) is pleased to announce high-grade zinc, lead and silver results from 120 rock samples collected on the Company’s “Quetzal” property located 100 kilometres northeast of Guatemala City, Guatemala. Grab rock samples from outcrops and historic mine dumps contained up to 32% zinc, 2.8% lead and 26 ppm silver. Six continuous horizontal chip samples were collected from a historic mine tunnel and stope. The chip samples ranged from 1.7 to 2.7 metres over 14.2 metres of tunnel walls and averaged 18.5% zinc, 2.4% lead and 57 ppm silver over a vertical mineralized zone varying in true width from 2 to 5 metres.

“Our goal for 2010 is to find more zinc. These excellent results from one of our new properties represent the first modern exploration work covering a historic zinc-lead-silver mining district in central Guatemala. The Quetzal property produced a small amount of zinc and lead in the 1960s but has been dormant since then.” says Lori Walton, President of Firestone Ventures Inc.

During November and December field crews conducted geological mapping, surface and underground rock sampling and a soil survey in two areas of interest on the Quetzal property.

The first area of interest measures 300 x 400 metres and comprises a group of eight short tunnels and one shaft. Five surface rock samples in this area contained 0.19% to 19.8% zinc, 0.14% to 2.3% lead and <0.1 to 73 ppm silver. Firestone geologists were able to map and sample in six of the tunnels and in the one shaft with an adjacent stope.

Shaft and Stope #5 Results
The shaft descended eight metres to a stope which extended 14 metres north exposing a north-trending vertical zone of replacement-type zinc-lead-silver mineralization. The mineralization, consisting mainly of smithsonite (zinc carbonate), iron oxides and galena varied in true width from 2 to 5 metres. Six continuous horizontal chip samples ranging from 1.7 to 2.7 metres were collected over 14.2 metres of tunnel walls and averaged 18.5% zinc, 2.4% lead and 57 ppm silver. Individual chip sample values ranged from 12% to 22% zinc, 2.4% to 2.5% lead and 14.2 to 110 ppm silver.

Tunnels 11 and 12 Results
A mineralized zone 2 to 3 metres wide is exposed near the portal to the tunnels. The tunnels are caved 2 metres from the portal entrance. A one metre chip sample across the mineralized zone contained 15.3% zinc, 2.0% lead and 47.7 ppm silver. A second chip sample returned 9.7% zinc, 1.5% lead and 2.4 ppm silver across 2 metres. One grab rock sample from dump material contained 32% zinc, 2.8% lead and 26 ppm silver.

Tunnel #6 Results
Ten chip samples were collected from a breccia and stockwork zone 6 to 8 metres in true width. Six chip samples contained greater than 1.0% zinc including two chip samples containing greater than 3.0% zinc. A chip sample across 1.4 metres contained 5.8% zinc, 0.7% lead and 0.8 ppm silver. A 2.1 metre chip sample contained 3.21% zinc, 0.3% lead and 1.1 ppm silver. A grab sample from an ore pile contained 24% zinc, 2.4% lead and 32 ppm silver.

The second area of interest on the Quetzal property is located 400 metres to the north. Three rock grab samples from outcrops and dumps in the second area of interest contained 20.7% to 31.4% zinc, 1.7% to 2.4% lead, and 4 to 67 ppm silver. None of the old workings in this area are accessible, but surface alteration indicates a north-south trending zone of zinc-lead mineralization about 20 metres wide.

The geological setting (Permian dolomite and limestone), style and grade of the mineralization at the Quetzal property are similar to the mineralization at Firestone’s Torlon Hill zinc-lead-silver deposit in western Guatemala.

Results from an extensive soil geochemical grid on the Quetzal property are being compiled and drill targets will be identified in anticipation of a drilling program to establish the horizontal and vertical extent and grade of the zinc-lead-silver mineralization.

Rock samples were sent to the BSI Inspectorate facility in Guatemala City for preparation and then sent by courier to the International Plasma Labs Ltd. facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for analysis using 30 element ICP and 30g FA/AAS. The road-accessible Quetzal property (380 hectares) is 100% owned by Firestone subject to a 2% NSR.

This news release has been reviewed and approved by John Cleary, (CPG), Firestone’s Vice President of Exploration and Qualified Person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 and by Al Workman, P.Geo., Vice President of Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited and Independent Qualified Person.

Linear Gold Commences Drilling at Goldfields Project

Linear Gold Commences Drilling at Goldfields Project


HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA, January 27, 2010: Linear Gold Corp. (TSX: LRR) (“Linear”) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced at its Goldfields Mine Development Project, host to Linear’s 100% owned Box and Athona Gold Deposits. The Goldfields Project includes over 25,000 hectares of contiguous property holdings located within a prolific gold-bearing region of Saskatchewan, Canada. The Box and Athona Gold Deposits are being developed as open pit operations with combined Proven and Probable gold reserves of 1,030,400 ounces.
Linear’s planned 2010 drill program will focus on the following objectives:
Drilling will test for additional gold mineralization below the bottom of the proposed Box Mine open- pit. The planned 3000 metre Box Deposit drill program will consist of between 10 to 15 drill holes, initially focusing on areas where potential ore-grade results have been returned from limited drilling completed and reported by GLR Resources Inc. during 2007, including:
Hole B07-292, which returned 2.13 grams per tonne of gold over an estimated true width of 47.81 metres, including 8.35 grams per tonne of gold over 8.60 metres; and
Hole B07-294, which returned 6.32 grams per tonne of gold over an estimated true width of 16.72 metres, including 11.47 grams per tonne of gold over 8.80 metres.
Following the completion of the initial 3000 metre drill program and the return of positive results, a follow-up infill drill program will be designed to incorporate the additional mineralization in to an updated Box Deposit gold resource estimate.
Drilling will follow-up and test geophysical anomalies identified within a planned 840 hectare sector of the Goldfields Project which will be surveyed by the advanced Titan 24 geophysical system. The Induced Polarization (IP) and Resistivity (DCIP) survey, which will be completed in February 2010, has been designed to identify anomalies with the potential to host mineralized systems near the Box and Athona Gold Deposits including the two kilometre area between the deposits. The Titan geophysical system is designed to acquire high-resolution results to depths of approximately 700 metres, depths that are unachievable with conventional geophysics or airborne geophysics. Through processing, inversion and interpretation of results, information can be obtained on conductive mineralization, disseminated mineralization, alteration, structure and geology resulting in highly prospective drill targets.
Drilling will be completed to test the following highly prospective targets:
The down-dip and along strike gold mineralization outside of the proposed design of the Athona Deposit open-pit; and
historic gold occurrences on the property including:
The Golden Pond occurrence, located approximately three kilometres northeast of the Box Deposit, where GLR Resources intersected 5.07 grams per tonne over 15 metres and16.57 grams per tonne over13.6 metres.
Howard Bird, Linear’s Vice President of Exploration, stated: “I am pleased that the Goldfield’s 2010 exploration program has commenced and look forward to the drill results which are expected to add additional ounces to the gold resource at the Box Deposit. Furthermore, the interpretation of three-dimensional model results from the IP geophysical program is expected to identify exciting target anomalies where drill testing may result in the discovery of large-scale bulk-tonnage gold occurrences similar to the Box and Athona Deposits, and/or high-grade gold vein occurrences. Exciting upside potential also exists in the Athona Deposit exploration drill program, as well as the testing of historic gold occurrences.”
The Goldfields project area hosts a wide variety of mineralization and historical underground development, including the Box Mine, which produced as an underground gold mining operation from 1939 to 1942. Twelve additional gold occurrences have been documented on the property. All of the known gold deposits and occurrences are exposed at surface, most of which were discovered through surface prospecting during the 1930’s. The Box and the Athona Deposits, the two known deposits on the property, are located two kilometres apart and will utilize a central processing mill facility. The Box and Athona Deposits are both large multi-million tonne open pit deposits, located on the western flank and near the nose of the Goldfields syncline. Both deposits have potential for increased open pit gold resources and there is good potential for higher grade gold mineralization, which may be suitable for underground mining methods below the proposed open pits.
The Goldfields project area is located 25 kilometres from Uranium City, Saskatchewan, and is serviced by excellent local infrastructure, including an airport, hydro-electric power, telecommunications, a good road system, a field office, a core shack and living quarters with kitchen facilities for the exploration team.

Mining Stocks News - Teck (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) Comments on Red Dog Permit Appeal

Teck (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) Comments on Red Dog Permit Appeal

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--- Jan. 15, 2010 - Teck Resources Limited (TSX: TCK.A and TCK.B, NYSE: TCK) commented on an appeal filed today against the State of Alaska's certification of a water discharge permit recently issued to Teck Alaska's Red Dog Mine by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA").


Two nonprofit law firms joined with local tribal and environmental organizations to file a request for an adjudicatory hearing with the State of Alaska of their appeal of the State's certification of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (the mine's main water discharge permit). The appeal asserts that certain permit provisions do not comply with the Clean Water Act. If successful, the appeal could result in revisions to the permit conditions or revocation of the permit. The organizations did not request that the permit be stayed, allowing the certification to remain in effect during adjudication of this specific appeal.
The certification was issued on December 15, 2009, when, in accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the State of Alaska certified that the renewed NPDES permit would comply with all applicable State water quality regulations.
"The State and Federal agencies have just completed a very thorough review of water quality issues associated with Red Dog," said Jim Kulas, Manager, Environmental and Public Affairs for Teck. "Based on years of data documenting a healthy downstream environment, in the agencies' judgment, the permit will be fully protective of human health and the environment. Teck believes that the regulatory process has been robust and appropriate."


The NPDES permit was issued by the EPA on January 8, 2010. The appeal period for the NPDES permit expires on February 16, 2010.


The Army Corps of Engineers permit for the Aqqaluk Deposit, the next ore body to be mined at Red Dog, is the only outstanding agency authorization for the next phase of mining at Red Dog. This permit is undergoing final agency review but has not yet been issued. There is no specific period established for an appeal of this permit.
Other state and local permits required for development of Aqqaluk were received in December. The appeal period for those permits has expired without appeal. As previously noted, development of the Aqqaluk Deposit at Red Dog could be delayed as a result of delays in permit issuance or appeals of permits issued. Any delay extending beyond the first quarter of 2010 will likely result in a reduction or interruption of Red Dog production.
Teck and its partner, indigenous landowner NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., continue to communicate with all stakeholders in an effort to respond to concerns raised and to mitigate the risk of an interruption to the Red Dog Operation.
"We are looking forward to completion of this process so that Red Dog can acquire the permits necessary to develop the Aqqaluk Deposit," said Rosie Barr, Resources Manager, NANA Regional Corporation, Inc. "It is my hope that the permitting process stays on schedule so that the essential economic, cultural and social benefits that are provided by the mine can continue. NANA is committed to working with the EPA and our partners at Teck to complete this process and to keep Red Dog operating for our people and the residents of Alaska for another 20 years."
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and forward-looking information as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario). Forward-looking statements and information include statements regarding Teck's expectations regarding the potential impact of permitting delays on future production from the Red Dog mine. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Teck to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Factors that may cause actual results to vary include, but are not limited to, potential appeals of regulatory actions, changes in regulations, court decisions, and operational mining risks. Certain of these risks are described in more detail in the annual information form of Teck and in its public filings with Canadian securities administrators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Teck does not assume the obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements after the date of this document or to revise them to reflect the occurrence of future unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Mining Stocks News- International Northair (TSXV: INM) Prepares for Drill Program at La Cigarra Silver Project, Mexico

International Northair (TSXV: INM) Prepares for Drill Program at La Cigarra Silver Project, Mexico

International Northair Mines Ltd. (TSXV: INM) (the “Company” or “Northair”) announces thatplanning is well underway for the first drill test of the La Cigarra Project (the “Project”), locatedapproximately 26 kilometers from the city of Parral in north central Mexico.

The Company hasrequested bids from three drill contractors for a minimum 1,000 metre reverse circulation drill program tocommence in the first quarter of 2010.The La Cigarra silver project consists of six concessions and is located in State of Chihuahua along theeastern fringes of the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. Reconnaissance and sampling completed byNorthair to date confirm three potentially significant zones of silver mineralization within a 3 kilometretrend. The La Cigarra silver project has good access, topography and infrastructure. Grupo Northair deMexico, S.A. de C.A., a subsidiary of Northair, can acquire a 100% ownership of the concessions bymaking payments over a 5 year period totaling US$445,000 with no royalties.The grades reported at La Cigarra appear to be similar in scale to those of the Santa Barbara-SanFrancisco del Oro sub-districts of Parral that have produced over 440 million ounces of silver.

AlthoughLa Cigarra has probably had very limited silver production, the Parral Region in total has produced overone Billion ounces of silver and over one Million ounces of gold, placing it in the top ten silver districtsin Mexico.Northair has been informed by Great Bear Uranium that it is not proceeding with its option on the ElReventon property.

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

Seven Kilometre Long Gold Zone Identified

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


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


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

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

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

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

Mining Stocks news - Fjordland Exploration Inc.: Gold Fields Exercises Right of First Refusal on Woodjam South, BC

Fjordland Exploration Inc.: Gold Fields Exercises Right of First Refusal on Woodjam South, BC


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-- Jan. 15, 2010 - Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FEX ) and Cariboo Resources Ltd (TSX VENTURE:CRB) , the Woodjam Joint Venture ("WJV") 60%/40% partners, report that Gold Fields Horsefly Exploration Corporation (a member of the Gold Fields Limited group of companies (NYSE:GFI - News)) has provided written notice that it intends to exercise a right of first refusal with respect to the WJV's Woodjam South copper-gold property. This offer matches one presented by another major international mining company.


Pursuant to the offer, Gold Fields can earn a 51% interest in the Woodjam South Property in consideration for expending US$7 million on exploration over 42 months and the purchase of a total of C$500,000 of common shares of the WJV partners, which will be divided relative to their interests. The offer includes the right to increase the earned interest to 70% by financing a bankable feasibility study. The transaction is subject to due diligence and the execution of a definitive agreement. A draft agreement is expected shortly; its terms will be released upon signing.
Gold Fields right of first refusal is contained in the existing Option and Joint Venture Exploration Agreement relating to the adjoining Woodjam North Property. The WJV recently released drill results which is part of a comprehensive exploration program budgeted at $3 million and operated by Gold Fields on this 40,750-hectare property (see January 12, 2010 News Release for details). Drilling is scheduled to resume in early February.

The 13,807-hectare Woodjam South Property includes the Southeast Zone, discovered in late 2007 by the WJV partners. Drilling of 7,700 m in 18 holes during 2007 and 2008 of a large, 1.5 km by 1 km, induced polarization (IP) target tested a length of 1000 m, a width of 500 m and to a depth of 700 m. Fifteen of these holes were drilled on a grid pattern 600 m by 300 m. Porphyry-style copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization was intersected from the bedrock surface to the end of the hole in all 18 holes. The best intercepts (hole 08-84) included: 359.1 m grading 0.69% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au and 0.006% Mo, including 200.8 m grading 1.01% Cu, 0.44 g/t Au and 0.002% Mo. Less than one quarter of the IP anomaly has been tested. During 2009, no drilling was carried out at Woodjam South. A high resolution, low level airborne magnetometer survey was completed over the property and several prospective new anomalies were identified.
Tom Schroeter, President of Fjordland commented, "The earn-in proposal for the WJV's Woodjam South Property by a major international mining company and the subsequent notice to exercise its right of first refusal by Gold Fields represents another important step in the WJV's objective of advancing the entire Woodjam property without significant equity dilution."
