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

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:
Adventure Gold Inc. is a mining exploration company focused on discovering high quality gold deposits in the Abitibi greenstone belt located in north-west Quebec and north-east Ontario - one of the richest gold deposit areas in the world. Adventure Gold holds quality assets in the Val-d'Or, Québec and Timmins, Ontario areas and is led by determined management and technical teams with extensive exploration and mine production experience.

Gold Stocks; Northern Tiger (TSX VENTURE:NTR) Announces Up to 82 g/t Gold from Sleeping Giant Zone Rock Sample - 3Ace Project, Yukon

Gold Stocks; Northern Tiger (TSX VENTURE:NTR)  Announces Up to 82 g/t Gold from Sleeping Giant Zone Rock Sample - 3Ace Project, Yukon


EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog)  - Sept. 23, 2010) - Northern Tiger Resources Inc. ("Northern Tiger" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NTR) is pleased to announce that all results from rock and soil samples collected during the 2010 surface exploration program at the 3Ace Project in the southeast Yukon have been received and that the recently announced drill program is progressing well. Highlights from rock sampling of the quartz vein structures in the Sleeping Giant Zone include:
  82.27 g/t gold from a rock grab sample
  11.34 g/t gold (weighted average) from a 6.0 metre continuous chip sample
  7.55 g/t gold (weighted average) from a 8.6 metre continuous chip sample
  6.78 g/t gold (weighted average) from a 6.0 metre continuous chip sample
"These latest results reinforce our belief that 3Ace is hosting an extensive gold bearing system with high grade gold mineralization in multiple zones." says Greg Hayes, President of Northern Tiger. "Several visible gold occurrences in the Sleeping Giant Zone and an average gold grade of 4.2 g/t from the entire sample set of 87.6 metres of chip samples are very encouraging initial results for a zone of its apparent size. In addition to these encouraging chip sample results our geologists have outlined a large and robust gold-in-soil anomaly dubbed the Green Zone - further confirming our belief that the system is extensive and has potential for further discovery."
Sleeping Giant Zone
A total of 47 chip samples totalling 86.7 metres were collected from quartz vein material in the Sleeping Giant Zone. Individual chip sample assays ranged from 0.01 g/t gold over 2 metres to 43.67 g/t gold over 1.1 metres (sample previously reported). The Sleeping Giant is hosted in a shear zone and consists of a series of overlapping (en echelon) massive quartz vein segments, with individual segments up to 25 metres in width. The mineralized structure trends north-south and has been traced along strike for 300 metres before disappearing under overburden at both ends of the exposed extent. Northern Tiger plans to drill test the Sleeping Giant zone as soon as we complete our initial exploration holes at the Main Zone.
Green Zone
Results have also been returned from soil and rock sampling of the Green Zone. The 2010 soil sampling program focused on the western half of the zone. A total of 474 soil samples were collected, returning values from trace up to 2.58 g/t gold. A total of 91 samples returned values in excess of 100 ppb gold, and have outlined a large soil anomaly measuring approximately 400 metres by 1,000 metres.
A total of 136 grab and chip rock samples were also collected from the Green Zone, and gold values ranged from trace up to 66.52 g/t (from a grab sample) and 3.36 g/t (from a 1.0 metre chip sample). A total of 24 of the Green Zone rock samples returned values in excess of 1.0 g/t gold.
The Green Zone is a mineralized east-west trending structural corridor extending at least two kilometres in strike length. Disseminated and locally banded arsenopyrite occurs within veins and veinlets and in strongly altered and locally brecciated quartz-pebble conglomerate.
Additional 3Ace Results
In addition to the four named zones at the 3Ace Project, other highly anomalous rock or soil samples have highlighted a number of areas for additional exploration work, including gold values of:
  22.89 g/t from a rock grab sample 900 metres south of the Green Zone
  15.54 g/t from a rock grab sample 400 metres south of the Green Zone
  9.46 g/t from a rock grab sample 800 metres south of the Green Zone
  5.89 g/t from a 2.0-metre bedrock chip sample 400 metres southwest of the Green Zone
  9.27 g/t from a soil sample 250 metres northwest of the Main Zone
  2.45 g/t from a soil sample 250 metres southeast of the North Zone
A minimum 1,000 metre drill program (see news release dated September 21, 2010) is progressing well with 2 holes completed and another in progress. Drill core from the Main Zone is being moved to Whitehorse for sawing, sampling and shipping to an assay lab; results will be reported when available.
Sample location maps and a table of the Sleeping Giant continuous chip samples are available at www.northern-tiger.com.
This News Release has been reviewed and approved by Carl Schulze, B.Sc., P.Geol., the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. All rock and drill core samples were analyzed by Inspectorate America Corporation of Richmond, British Columbia using 50 gram fire assay and 50-element, 4-acid ICP analysis. Soil and silt samples were also analyzed by Inspectorate, using 30-gram fire assay analysis. When visible gold is noted in drill core samples or regular fire assay values appear abnormally high, the pulp and screen metallic assay method is used to determine the total gold content and gold contents of different size fractions. This is considered industry best practice when dealing with coarse gold mineralization where a nugget effect is suspected. This determination is accepted as the most representative value and is used in the assay database.
Northern Tiger Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based resource exploration company focused on gold and copper exploration in the Yukon. Through its exploration alliance with Capstone Mining Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Minto Explorations Ltd., Northern Tiger benefits from a wide range of experience, knowledge and capabilities from early exploration to mine production.
This news release may contain forward looking statements, being statements which are not historical facts, including, without limitation, statements regarding potential mineralization, exploration results, resource or reserve estimates, anticipated production or results, sales, revenues, costs, "best-efforts" financings or discussions of future plans and objectives. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove accurate. Such statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are in Company documents filed from time to time with the TSX Venture Exchange and provincial securities regulators, most of which are available at www.sedar.com.

TSX Mining News; Dorato (TSX. V:DRI) Receives Highly Positive Lucero Results From Cordillera del Condor, NW Peru

TSX Mining News; Dorato (TSX. V:DRI) Receives Highly Positive Lucero Results From Cordillera del Condor, NW Peru

Surface Trenching Intercepts 41 Metres at 3.1g/t Gold and 0.2% Copper


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 23, 2010 - Dorato Resources Inc. ("Dorato" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:DRI)(OTCQX:DRIFF)(FRANKFURT:DO5) is pleased to announce that it has received highly anomalous rock sample results from Minera Afrodita's exploration program at the Lucero target, Cordillera del Condor project, Peru. The Lucero discovery zone currently forms a gold and copper mineralized zone that extends for over one kilometre. Significant trench results including 41 metres @ 3.08 g/t gold suggest that the discovery zone has significant bulk tonnage gold potential. Dorato has a right to acquire 100% of Minera Afrodita.
Trench 755201, located within the Lucero gold discovery zone, intercepted 41.4 metres grading 3.1 g/t gold and 0.20% copper with gold grades increasing at depth:. Two pits were excavated to investigate the depth extent of mineralization; grade in Pit V-2 increased with depth from approximately 1.0 g/t gold at surface to just over 6.0 g/t gold at 2.7 metres depth. Rock assay results (from 968 rock samples) range from below detection to 11.17 g/t gold and 2.31% copper.
"We are very excited with these highly positive gold and copper results; the disseminated nature of the mineralization has the potential to form a large, bulk-tonnage gold-copper target at Lucero," stated Keith Henderson, Dorato's President & CEO, "We are beginning to see consistent grade over a very significant area and test pits suggest that the grade could continue or increase with depth."
Trench Sampling Details
Trench 755201 is located in the south-eastern margin of the Lucero discovery zone (Fig. 1). It was excavated in order to evaluate a 9.7 g/t gold-in-soil sample (news release NR10-15). Preserved quartz and hematite veins in Trench 755201 indicate that the exposed rock represents outcrop and has not been reworked by near-surface weathering processes. Composite rock chip samples were collected over intervals ranging between 0.1 to 2.0 metres in length. Highlights from Trench 755201 are shown in Table 1. Gold intercepts are illustrated in Figure 2.
Surface rock sampling and trenching have defined a 1,100-metre by 750-metre northeast-trending mineralized corridor (Fig. 1). Gold and copper mineralization occurs in a hydrothermally altered package of sedimentary and intrusive rocks. Significant gold-copper mineralization is also found in massive magnetite replacement and breccia bodies.
Previous rock sampling results included 10 adjacent rock samples collected over 30 metres of continuous surface sampling that contained grades of up to 11.17 g/t gold and averaged 2.85 g/t gold and 0.37% copper (news release NR09-17). This sampling was completed 350 metres north of Trench 755201 and further illustrates the continuous nature of grades being encountered at surface.
Depth Extent of Mineralization
The depth extent of mineralization will be drill-tested, however excavation of near-surface pits is highly instructive in lieu of such data. Two vertical pits were excavated in Trench 755201 (Fig. 2) to test the depth extent of mineralization. A near-surface vertical profile of gold distribution was obtained by systematically sampling each pit at 10-centimetre intervals. Pit V-1 contains 1.1 metres grading 1.27 g/t gold and 0.51% copper. Pit V-2 contains 2.7 metres grading 3.25 g/t gold and 0.14% copper. Both pits produced increasing intensities of gold mineralization with depth; Grade in pit V-2 increased with depth from approximately 1.0 g/t gold at surface to just over 6.0 g/t gold at 2.7 metres depth.

Ongoing Work
Results are expected soon from extensive soil sampling grids surrounding the core Lucero target. In addition, as part of the airborne geophysical surveys ongoing in the Cordillera, the Lucero target area will be flown at a 50-metre line spacings – this increase in geophysical data density will provide better definition on the size of the coincident EM and magnetic anomalies.
Lucero is a 100% grass-roots discovery and was not previously exposed by any informal mining activity. The Lucero target was originally defined by 200-metre line-spaced magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) geophysical data combined with regional geology and stream sediment geochemistry. The Lucero discovery now forms a gold and copper mineralized zone that extends for over one kilometre. Significant trench results, including 41 metres grading 3.08 g/t gold, suggest that the discovery zone has significant bulk tonnage gold potential.

Cordillera Del Condor Background
The Cordillera Del Condor has been one of the most important gold-bearing areas in Ecuador and Peru since pre-Incan times. On the Ecuador side of the border, historical high-grade, small scale gold production is reported to have exceeded 100,000 oz per year.
Modern exploration on the Ecuadorian side of the border has resulted in the discovery of multiple, significant and world-class gold and base metal-bearing districts, such as Kinross Gold Corp's Fruta del Norte Gold deposit with an inferred resource of 13.6 million contained ounces of gold averaging 7.23 g/t gold), the Mirador Copper-Gold porphyry deposit (recently sold by Corriente Resources Inc.) with measured & indicated resources of 438 million tonnes at 0.61% copper, 0.19 g/t gold plus inferred resources 235 million tonnes at 0.52% copper, 0.17 g/t gold, and the Mirador Norte Copper-Gold porphyry deposit (indicated 171 million tonnes at 0.51% copper, 0.09 g/t gold; inferred 46 million tonnes at 0.51% copper, 0.07 g/t gold), and Dynasty Metals & Mining Inc's Jerusalem Gold deposit in the Chinapintza district with measured & indicated resources of 0.58 million contained ounces gold at 12.4 g/t gold plus an additional 0.71 million ounces inferred contained ounces averaging 11.5 g/t gold). The technical information with respect to the above deposits was obtained through the respective companies' public disclosure documents available on SEDAR.

Metanor Resources (TSX VENTURE:MTO): Drilling Campaign of 25,000 Meters to Continue to Grow the Resource at Barry


VAL-D'OR, QUEBEC--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 23, 2010) - Metanor Resources Inc. ("Metanor") (TSX VENTURE:MTO) and its exploration team are pleased to announce a drilling campaign of 25,000 meters on the Barry property.

The purpose of this drill campaign is to increase the known resource considerably. Operating and extracting ore from the Barry pit and the past drill campaign have enabled Metanor to have a very good comprehension of the geological structure and the continuity of the gold bearing zones. Moreover, strong intensity anomalies other than those of the Barry pit, where resources of several million tonnes were recently announced (Press Release dated September 21,2010), were discovered east and west of the pit by an induced polarization (IP) survey executed by Abitibi Geophysique of Val d'Or in 2009.(Press Release dated February 24, 2010)
New Resources calculated on approximately only 3% of the entire Barry property:
Indicated Resources2007**2010% Increase
 Tonnes385,0007,701,0001,900%
 Ounces Au52,300 (4.23g/t)309,500 (1.25g/t)491%

 Ounces Au126,600 (4.07g/t)471,950 (1.41g/t)272%
    
** announced by Press Release May 8, 2007   
These indices demonstrate the potential to rapidly increase the resources at Barry.
The present gold corridor (pit) is nearly 1 km long with a width of approximately 140 m and up to depths ranging from 75m to 125m. The Barry pit is still open in all directions.
This drilling campaign will target these strong anomalies to the East and West with the goal of extending the gold zone more than 5 km. Further, Metanor would drill around the present 1 km corridor (pit) and also below 125 m.
Metanor and all its team have great confidence in the future of the Barry property and its potential in becoming a major deposit in the Quebec mining industry.
Mr. André Tremblay, P Eng. is the qualified person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 and supervised the technical information presented in the news release.

Coal Stocks; Forbes & Manhattan Coal Corp. Announces Update on Agnew Lake Properties

Coal Stocks; Forbes & Manhattan Coal Corp. Announces Update on Agnew Lake Properties


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - Sept. 23, 2010 - Forbes & Manhattan Coal Corp. (formerly Nyah Resources Corp.) (TSX VENTURE:NRU) (the "Corporation") announces an update with respect to its previously held Agnew Lake properties located in the Hyman and Porter Townships in Sudbury, Ontario.


The Agnew Lake project consists of two separate exploration properties comprised of the Agnew Lake North Uranium property (the "Agnew Lake North Uranium Property"), which is the most advanced of the two claim blocks, and the Agnew Lake South property (the "Agnew Lake South Property"). The Agnew Lake North Uranium Property consists of seven unpatented mining claims (covering 1,032 ha, or 2,550 acres) located approximately 75 kilometres by road west of Sudbury, Ontario, in Hyman and Porter Townships. These claims encompass the past producing Agnew Lake Uranium Mine which was operated by Kerr Addison Mines Ltd. between 1977 and early 1983 producing approximately 1.9 million pounds of uranium. Three of the claims (850 hectares) are subject to a Federal license under the Nuclear Safety and Control Act. The Agnew Lake South Property consists of four unpatented mining claims (covering 692 hectares, or 1710 acres) located in Hyman Township of the Elliot Lake-Blind River uranium district, Ontario.
In September 2008, the Corporation announced that it had completed Phase III of the 2008 drill program consisting of 11 holes totaling 3,500 metres of NQ diamond drilling on the Agnew Lake North Uranium Property (See Press Release dated September 18, 2008). At this time, the Corporation also completed an aggregate of 62.3 line kilometres of ground geophysics at the Agnew Lake North Uranium Property and the Agnew Lake South Property. With respect to the Agnew Lake South Property, the Company completed magnetic, VLF-EM and IP surveys. Preliminary data with respect to these surveys indicate an antiformal structure with conglomerate units cropping out on the north limb and coincident high radioactivity that suggests conditions for a deposit similar to that found to the north. A follow up radiometric survey confirms the presence of uranium bearing conglomerates close to surface.
As set out in the Corporation's Management Discuss and Analysis for the financial year ended December 31, 2008 (the "MD&A"), during the year ended 2008, total exploration completed by the Corporation included 9,380 metres of drilling from 31 holes on the Agnew Lake North Uranium Property and exploration expenditures incurred on the properties are set out below.

Upon further review of the results from the Phase III drill program on the Agnew Lake North Uranium Property and the geophysics of both properties, as set out in the MD&A, taking into consideration the global collapse of the equity markets and the corresponding falling price of uranium at such time, the Corporation determined such results did not warrant further exploration work to be conducted with respect to the Agnew Lake North Uranium Property and decided not to proceed with any recommended work on the Agnew Lake South Property.
In February, 2009 the Corporation announced that it had entered into a letter agreement with Russo-Forest Corporation ("Russo-Forest") (See Press Release dated February 2, 2009) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Russo-Forest (the "Change of Business Transaction"). In accordance with the proposed terms of the Change of Business Transaction, the Corporation entered into an agreement with Pitchblack Resources Ltd. ("Pitchblack") (formerly Cash Minerals Ltd.) whereby Pitchblack agreed to acquire the Agnew Lake properties in consideration for an aggregate of 15,000,000 common shares of Pitchblack and 7,500,000 share purchase warrants of Pitchblack. On December 18, 2009, the Corporation announced that it had decided not to proceed with the Change of Business Transaction which included the proposed sale of the Agnew Lake properties to Pitchblack.
On July 7, 2010 the Corporation announced that it had entered into a letter agreement with Forbes & Manhattan (Coal) Inc. ("Forbes Coal") to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Forbes Coal. On September 20, 2010 the Corporation announced that it had completed the business combination with Forbes Coal (the "Business Combination"). In connection with the Business Combination, the Corporation also announced that it had completed the sale of its Agnew Lake properties to Valencia Ventures Inc. ("Valencia") in consideration of a cash payment of $500,000 and two additional payments valued at $500,000 in cash or common shares of Valencia, at the election of Valencia. The sale of the Agnew Lake properties constitutes a non-arm's length transaction for the purposes of the TSX Venture Exchange as Nyah and Valencia have common directors and officers.
Since completion of the Phase III drill program in 2008, as set out in the MD&A, the Corporation has not conducted any additional material exploration work on the Agnew Lake properties. During the month of September 2010, the Corporation performed additional prospecting, mapping and radiation surveys on the Agnew Lake South Property. The cost of such work was approximately $15,000 and was conducted in order to maintain the property in good standing. Samples have been sent to ALS Chemex and results are expected within a month.
