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

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

Chip Sample	Grade Au	Width
Traverse #	(g/t)	(m)
SH_2010_042	9.10	27.43
SH_2010_003	1.40	7.62
SH_2010_031	5.88	15.24
SH_2010_038	1.13	4.57
SH_2010_040	1.58	3.05
SH_2010_043	1.48	3.05

At the Oxide Ridge prospect, 20 km to the north, two more anomalous intervals were sampled:

Chip Sample	Grade Au	Width
Traverse #	(g/t)	(m)
OR_2010_001	1.63	3.05
OR_2010_007	1.83	3.05

Additionally, discovery of a new mineralized zone with disseminated arsenopyrite and tourmaline returned anomalous values in talus fines sampling. This zone, named Oxide North, is located approximately 2.5 km north of the original Oxide Ridge showing. Millrock is currently conducting induced polarization geophysical surveys to test for disseminated sulfides in the valley separating the two gold occurrences. Soil geochemical surveys in the valley have returned widespread arsenic anomalies with gold.
Millrock has expended approximately US$500,000 on the Estelle property in 2010 using funds raised from Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") in a private placement financing completed in May, 2010. Teck's subsidiary, Teck American Incorporated ("TAI"), upon completion of the initial exploration program now being carried out by Millrock, has the right to elect to enter into an earn-in agreement. TAI can earn an initial 55% interest in the property by incurring US$3.6 million in expenditures over two years, and then a further 10% interest by sole funding an additional US$5 million in exploration expenditures on the property and making cash payments to Millrock totaling US$400,000 prior to the end of 2014.
The Estelle property, located 160 km northwest of Anchorage Alaska, was purchased by Millrock in 2009 from Hidefield Gold plc., (HIF - AIM), and Mines Trust Co. a privately held Alaska-based company. Presently, Millrock owns a 100% interest in the property which is subject to a 3.0% royalty. Consisting of 214 claims covering 13,157 hectares, the property is adjacent to Kiska Metals' Whistler copper-gold deposit, with a resource totaling over five million ounces of gold equivalent (Indicated resource: 30 million tonnes grading 0.87 g/t gold, 2.46 g/t silver and 0.24% copper [1.31Moz Gold Equivalent] and an 134 million tonnes grading 0.64 g/t gold, 2.18 g/t silver and 0.20% copper [4.44Moz Gold Equivalent], as reported on Kiska's website). Estelle is in the Kahiltna Terrane, an assemblage of rocks that hosts Northern Dynasty/Anglo American's giant Pebble copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit, with a resource totaling 107.4 million ounces of gold, 80.6 billion pounds of copper and 5.6 billion pounds of molybdenum (Measured & Indicated 5.942 billion tonnes at 0.42% copper, and 0.35 g/t gold and 250 ppb molybdenum using a 0.3% cutoff plus 4.835 billion tonnes at 0.24% copper and 0.26 g/t Au and 215 ppb molybdenum using a 0.3% cutoff, as reported on Northern Dynasty's website).
Previous work by Millrock at Estelle has identified high-grade gold veins spanning the property which measures approximately 5 km by 20 km. These gold-bearing veins are significant targets, but at the Shoeshine and Oxide Ridge prospects the veins are spatially associated with porphyritic intrusive rocks, quartz stockworks and hydrothermal breccias. These features, and extensive surface geochemical anomalies, indicate the potential for large, bulk minable, intrusive-related or porphyry style deposits.
The technical information in this news release was reviewed by Gregory Beischer, Millrock's President and CEO, a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.
About Millrock Resources Inc.

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

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


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


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

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

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

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


Kenai also advises that, following the completion of the initial drilling at Hope Butte, the rig will be remobilised for a planned 1,000 metre drilling program at the Albisu farm-in exploration project in northern Nevada. This program is currently anticipated to commence during November. The Albisu gold project was drilled by Chevron Resources in 1979 and 1981 and Western Energy Development Corp. ("WEDC") followed up with four core holes in 2008 to twin Chevron's AL-14 drill hole that reportedly intercepted 6.5 meters at 6.2 gram per tonne ("gpt"). The WEDC holes confirmed the gold zone by intercepting 1.6 meters of 12.46 gpt and 8 meters of 1.94 gpt. To date WEDC has drilled a total of 3,729 meters of core at Albisu in 2008 and 2009. That drill program defined a mineralized stockwork sulphide-quartz-calcite zone that is up to 73 m thick. Gold values range from 14.6 gpt over 1.8 meters to intervals between 3 and 32 meters of 0.2 to 0.5 gpt.

Kenai Entry to Brazil via Strategic Joint Venture with Gold Anomaly on its Sao Chico Gold Project

Kenai has executed an Option Agreement with Gold Anomaly Limited (ASX:GOA) for Kenai to acquire 50% of the Sao Chico gold project in Brazil, by funding project exploration ahead of a possible decision to acquire equity in the project, with key terms as under:

1. Kenai has an 18 months option to acquire 50% of Sao Chico following an advance to GOA of A$1m and committing to provide A$2m project funding, these funds will be in the form of a loan from Kenai to GOA until exercise of the option. If Kenai does not exercise the option, the loan funds advanced will be repaid to Kenai by GOA.
2. Kenai has a further option to acquire further 25% by payment to GOA of A$1m and committing to provide A$1m project funding.
3. GOA has right to continuing participation at 25% level or can sell 25% to Kenai based on US$30/oz for attributable CIM Mineral Resources gold ounces plus US$60/oz for attributable CIM Mineral Reserves gold ounces at that time.
4. Kenai to pay a 10% Net Profits Interest (NPI) for 5 years to GOA over Kenai's attributable interest, whether at 50% or 75%.

Kenai's objectives in this transaction are to undertake local and regional exploration and development, over the tenement area covering 1,416 hectares, initially targeting one million gold ounces in the 56 hectare core area, the site of extensive prior garimpeiro surface workings. Kenai's project funding is to generate the necessary data to accelerate a Mining Lease application.
Kenai will assume the role of project manager, utilizing existing GOA personnel as well as its own personnel. The focus is on fast tracking initial gold production and defining a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource. GOA has been planning the commencement of production by the end of 2010 at the rate of 20,000 gold ounces per annum. Production is planned from an expected high grade gold deposit using a minimal capital cost, low operating cost gravity recovery operation. On exercise of the Option, Kenai's participation will be as an incorporated joint venture with GOA, covering GOA's rights under contract with the local garimpeiro landowner. This landowner has recently been granted a 12 month trial mining permit or GUIA, with a possible 12 month extension to the permit, during which time a feasibility study for a full scale project is planned to be completed. As Greg Starr, President of Kenai is also a Director of Gold Anomaly; the intended transaction may be determined by the TSX Exchange as a non-arms length acquisition.
About the Sao Chico Gold Project, Pará State, Brazil:
The Sao Chico project is located 340 kilometres south-east of the major city of Manaus. It lies within a prominent north-west to south-east trend in Brazil's Tapajós Mineral Field, exploited over only the past 30 years by a gold rush of some 500,000 garimpeiros, ie artisanal alluvial miners, for the production of unofficially estimated 20 to 30 million ounces of gold. With little underground mining expertise, the garimpeiros were urged by government to consolidate their claims and joint venture with established mining companies. The field has had little modern exploration undertaken.
San Chico is in cleared low grade farming land adjacent to the Transgarimpeiro Highway, at a road distance of about 350 kilometres or 8 hours' drive from the regional city of Itaituba, to the north-east. Light aircraft from Itaituba service Sao Chico via two local airstrips.
Extensive surface mining has been undertaken by garimpeiros at Sao Chico for over 20 years, with minor underground workings in primary rock which occurs at less than 20 metres depth. There are several sub-parallel gold-bearing coarse grained quartz/sulphide veins, with a strike length so far known of 1000 metres.
Investigations by GOA to date have determined the following:

• Veins weathered up to around 10 metres depth, free dig by excavator to the depth of oxidation.
• Underground sampling by GOA along about 70 metres of drives from a 20 metre deep shaft in free-standing primary rock, with average gold grades of 15 g/t, from over 100 samples. 
• Good metallurgical recoveries, both by gravity and cyanidation methods.

Current plans are for delivery during October of a 100 tonnes per day capacity, integrated gravity processing plant, which will allow commencement of the GUIA trial mining at the permit rate of 50,000 tonnes per annum by year end. There are abundant local water supplies and ample tailings dam capacity.
From its due diligence investigations, Kenai considers there is excellent potential at Sao Chico for delineation of NI 43-101 mineral resources of sufficient tonnage and grade to support a substantial gold project operation. An independent NI 43-101 report is currently being prepared for the project.
The Tapajós gold region is situated in the south-central part of the vast Amazon Craton, which is divided into two, the Guyana Shield north of the Amazon River and the Brazilian Shield, with its nucleus as the Archaean greenstone-granitoid terrane, south of the Amazon. As shown in the appended regional geology plan (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/k921c.pdf), Sao Chico is in the same geological unit, the intrusive Parauari Suite, as the Tocantinzinho (TZ), Palito and Sao Domingo projects. TZ is a major gold project acquired for CAD$122 million in July 2010 by Eldorado Gold (TSX:ELD, ASX:EAU). In June 2010, ELD acquired 26.8% equity in Serabi Mining plc, the AIM-listed company which owns 100% of the Palito underground mine. From Sao Chico, the TZ project is 54 kilometres north-west and Palito is 23 kilometres east north-east.
Kenai Chairman Daniel Kunz said today, "Kenai is pleased to be joint venturing with Gold Anomaly on the Sao Chico project. We are committed to bringing the project into production in the short term and have expectations of defining a significant resource at Sao Chico leading to a long term mining project. Kenai has negotiated a deal structure that overall is low-risk in terms of financial exposure in the event that our positive expectations for Sao Chico are not realised during the Option Agreement period."
GOA Non Executive Director Tom Fermanis said today, "We believe our shareholders will view this agreement as favourable. The agreement with Kenai injects funds into the Sao Chico project, fast tracking production and exploration, and should a JORC or CIM NI 43-101 compliant resource be developed at Sao Chico, both GOA and Kenai will share in the upside. Kenai are targeting a potential million ounce deposit, potentially enabling GOA to benefit from a strong cash flow from the project. The agreement with Kenai will enable GOA management to fully focus on developing its flagship Crater Mountain project in PNG".
About Kenai Resources:
Kenai is a Canadian company focussed on precious mineral project exploration and development, towards early significant gold production. In addition to the Albisu, Nevada, advanced gold exploration project, Kenai's principal project assets are the wholly-owned Quartz Mountain and Hope Butte gold projects in South-Eastern Oregon, both located in Malheur County, close to the Oregon border with Idaho. All three of these projects are epithermal gold projects.
Kenai's current gold resources from the two Oregon projects, aggregating approximately 500,000 contained gold ounces, are summarized as follows:

Project		Tonnes		Grade		Ounces Au		Status/Classification
Quartz Mountain		15,050,200		0.80 g/t Au		352,667		Indicated Resources, NI 43-101 compliant
Hope Butte		5,000,000		0.91 g/t Au		146,300		Historical, not NI 43-101 compliant

Footnotes:

1. For Quartz Mountain, resources above a 0.34 g/t cutoff with silver converted to gold equivalent using a ratio of 49.5:1 silver to gold. Metallurgical recoveries were not considered. Indicated resources are as reported in an independent November 2006 NI 43-101 report, posted on SEDAR at that time.
2. The Hope Butte resources are considered historic in nature, do not comply with current NI 43-101 standards, have not been verified by the Company and therefore should not be relied upon. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the discovery of an economic mineral resource.

Shares Outstanding: 31,231,734

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

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  Sept. 22, 2010 - Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. (OTCBB:DLKM)(FRANKFURT:D60) is very pleased to announce that the Company has recently received approval from its Board of Directors to both enter into and immediately close upon the terms and conditions of a certain Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the "Acquisition Agreement"), with IPP Gold Ltd. ("IPP Gold"), to acquire a 100% interest in four prospecting licences (the "PLs"), totaling approximately 800 square kilometres, located in the Handeni District of Tanzania and which are owned or controlled by IPP Gold and its affiliates.
Harp Sangha, CEO of the Company, stated: "This new Acquisition Agreement with IPP Gold represents a significant step forward for the Company. Along with our new partners at IPP Gold, we will map out our new strategy and course of action over the coming weeks and months. The Handeni District has become alive with activity since the extraordinary drilling results from Canaco Resources have placed this region on the world stage. We plan to focus our energy and resources on the exploration and potential development of this new acquisition. Our aim is to direct Douglas Lake down a path towards success."
On September 13, 2010 Canaco announced significant new exploration developments including the identification of important new parallel trends of gold mineralization and discovery of a new mineralized zone five kilometres W/NW of the Magambazi Gold Discovery. Early results from the regional exploration on the Handeni Gold Trend indicate the work program has already made significant progress in identifying new gold targets and upgrading the potential of previously identified gold zones. Over the past month, the regional program has included over 3000 metres of Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling, approximately 10,000 metres of reconnaissance Rotary Air Blast ("RAB") drilling, a detailed airborne survey, detailed mapping of some of the key target areas defined to date and geochemical interpretation. The Handeni Gold trend is now recognized as consisting of two, parallel gold trends with a combined strike length of over 15 kilometres (Source: Canaco Resources).
In April 2010, TD Newcrest, A Division of TD Securities, initiated coverage of Canaco Resources and announced a speculative buy recommendation with a $1.25 target price. They now believe that $175/oz is an appropriate resource multiple given the forecast high grade/low cost nature of the ounces discovered to date by Canaco. They have revised their target price to $6 per share and maintain their speculative buy rating.
The closing of the Acquisition Agreement
In accordance with the closing today of the Acquisition Agreement IPP Gold has now become a major stakeholder in the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement the Company has now issued 133,333,333 restricted shares of common stock to IPP Gold in exchange for 100% interest in the four PLs of the new Handeni Project, with no further payments in shares or cash required. This acquisition of these four PLs as a whole represents the largest land position in the Handeni District, and the boundary area is geologically contiguous to Canaco's Magambazi gold project.
In addition, and accordance with the closing of the Acquisition Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company has also accepted the consent to act as both a director and as the Chairman of the Company from Reginald Mengi, together with the consents to act as directors of the Company from each of Reyno Scheepers and Douglas Boateng. Mr. Mengi will replace the Honorable Joseph Rugumyamheto as the Company's Chairman and Mr. Rugumyamheto will continue to serve as a director of the Company.
The Company's new directors
About Reginald Mengi
Mr. Reginald Mengi is the Chairman and owner of IPP Resources. He also chairs IPP Ltd., one of the largest private sector holding companies in Tanzania. Mr. Mengi commenced IPP Ltd.'s business in the mid 1980's manufacturing ball point pens. Today the IPP group of companies is engaged in various areas including bottling of Coca Cola products, drinking water, manufacturing and bottling of drinks and spirits, mining of minerals and gemstones, gemstone cutting, lapidary and media.

About Reyno Scheepers
Dr. Reyno Scheepers' involvement with the mining industry stretches for a period of 22 years. He started off as a researcher at the Fuel Research Institute (CSIR) of South Africa where he gained experience in the composition and characteristics of various South African coal fields. This was followed by a two year period as a geologist at a South African gold mine where he gained experience in underground geology, underground and surface exploration and gold exploration project planning. He then joined the University of Stellenbosch where he became a professor in petrology/mineralogy in 1999.
Since 1995 Dr. Scheepers directed his efforts towards the investigation of gemstone deposits covering alluvial and kimberlitic diamond deposits in South Africa, the DRC and in Tanzania. One of his major achievements in Tanzania was the investigation of the geology and technical aspects of the Merelani tanzanite deposit which eventually led to the successful listing of the first colored gemstone company on the JSE.
Professor Scheepers is also closely involved in the application and development of geochemical analytical techniques and was in charge of the running of an XRF laboratory, an ICP-AES laboratory and a micro thermometric laboratory. He participated in the development of international geochemical reference standards and completed numerous challenging analytical problems for the industry over the years.
Dr. Scheepers' interest in providing small scale miners with the necessary skills to conduct safe and effective mining led to the establishment of the Gemstone Research Centre at Stellenbosch University and currently the Unit for Gemstone Geology ("UGG"). The UGG is a collaborative training and research unit between Free State and Dar es Salaam Universities through which research on gemstone deposits is currently conducted.

Gold Stocks; Ironwood Gold (OTCBB: IROG) Announces Investment by Callinan Mines

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog )  - September 22, 2010 - Ironwood Gold Corp. (OTCBB: IROG) is pleased to announce that Canadian mining company Callinan Mines Limited ("Callinan") has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 27, 2010. The agreement has been represented as a preliminary investment in exchange for certain shares and warrants exercisable over the next two years.


Callinan Mines is a base metals exploration company dedicated to continuing a tradition of successful exploration that began in 1927. The company derives significant, and increasing, revenue from an historic royalty interest in two producing mines in Manitoba, Canada. This income allows the company to keep dilution low as they develop additional high potential exploration properties located in Manitoba and British Columbia.


In addition to their Canadian exploration programs, Callinan is focused on expanding shareholder value through accretive acquisitions of both base and precious metals properties. The global economy has priced many in-ground assets far below their actual value, given the current metals environment. By virtue of the company's cash reserves and income, Callinan is able to compete for the most valuable available assets in both the base and precious metals sector.
The properties that Callinan selects for exploration have been chosen because they have the potential to host large, world class deposits.
Additional details regarding Ironwood Gold and its agreements are filed as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.

ABOUT IRONWOOD GOLD CORP. (OTCBB: IROG)
Ironwood Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration and development company building a portfolio of prospective properties containing known deposits of strategic precious metals in politically stable, mining-friendly North American districts with recognized production histories.

Gold Stocks; Sonora (TSX. V:SOC) Announces: Second Gold Property in Tanzania, Private Placement, Appointment of New Director, Grant of Options

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog)  - Sept. 22, 2010) - Sonora Gold & Silver Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SOC) is pleased to announce an agreement for the option to purchase (the "Option Agreement") through the Company's wholly-owned Tanzania subsidiary, 100% of the 10 square km Negese Mining Permit (the "Negese Property"). The Negese Property is located in the Kilindi District of Northeastern Tanzania and is being optioned from an arms' length private Tanzanian corporation (the "Vendor"). The Negese Property was selected on the basis of growing artisanal mining activity in the area, including processing of alluvial, colluvial and bedrock gold mineralized material including pits and underground workings to a depth of 30 meters. The geological setting is notably similar to the rapidly developing Magambazi discovery by Canaco Resources (TSXV: CAN).



Gold mineralized zones in the form of discrete high grade lodes and a broad zone of disseminated sulphides hosted by garnet-silica altered amphibolite in a corridor defined by artisanal workings and outcropping mineralized material are known to exist along a minimum of 1600 meters of strike and across from 300 to 500 meters. The host envelope and the mineralized zones dip at 15 to 25 degrees and the true width of the target zone is approximately 200 to 250 meters. The area is traversed by gravel roads and the topography is moderate. The project can be advanced rapidly without significant infrastructure enhancements.
Reconnaissance mapping over the area shows structural repeats and additional strike extensions which will be evaluated as part of the forthcoming work program. The Company completed an orientation sampling of the target zones in a field review and results from the rock samples are pending. On the basis of this work, and the analytical results, the Company is planning a sequenced exploration program including geological mapping, soil and rock geochemistry and drilling.


The terms of the option on the Negese Property consist of:

• US$5,000 due on signing, US$25,000 due within 30 days;
• The issue of 300,000 shares of the Company to the Vendor upon completion of due diligence review and final TSX Venture Exchange approval;
• Monthly payment to the Vendor of US$2,000 increasing to $5,000 over time to maintain the option up to a maximum of four years;
• A lump sum payment of US$1,300,000, payable at any time to exercise the Option in full for 100% ownership of the Negese Property, subject to a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty.

Further to the announcement of the Negese Option Agreement, the Company will conduct a non-brokered private placement of units, priced at $0.25 per unit, consisting of 5,000,000 units, each unit consisting of one common share and one-half (1/2) of one share purchase warrant for gross proceeds of CDN$1,250,000. Each whole warrant will be exercisable at a price of $0.50 for a period of two years from the date of closing. The proceeds of the private placement will be allocated towards transaction costs for the acquisition and for the exploration and development of the Negese Project as well as for general working capital. This financing is integral to and forms part and parcel of the acquisition of the Negese property.
The Company is also very pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Paul Matysek to the Board of Directors. Mr. Matysek is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of Potash One Inc. where he is leading the company to feasibility stage on its Legacy Project in Saskatchewan. He was a founder and CEO of Energy Metals Corporation, which he helped grow from a market capitalization of $10 million to acquisition by a larger uranium producer for $1.8 billion. Since 1999, he has been involved in obtaining over $200 million of exploration and development financing for a number of significant precious metal and base-metal properties. Mr. Matysek is a geologist/geochemist and has served in an Executive or Director capacity, for several exploration and development companies including: First Quantum Minerals Ltd., First Majestic Resource Corp., Energy Metals Corp. and Lithium One Inc. He brings to the Company a wealth of technical and financial experience as well as over 35 years of exploration and development experience. "We are very honored to have a man of Mr. Matysek's caliber join Sonora," states company President, Ken Churchill.
The Company has also granted a total of 900,000 incentive stock options at a price of $0.25 per share, to certain directors and officers of the Company. The options are exercisable for up to three years from the date of grant.
The technical details of this announcement and the field sampling, pertaining to the Negese Property, were completed under the supervision of David Bending, M.Sc., P.Geo., an independent Qualified Person pursuant to the standards of National Instrument 43-101.
On behalf of the Board of Directors.

Mining Stocks; Moly Mines Limited (TSX:MOL) Update: Iron Ore Project Execution on Track for First Ore Shipment in December 2010

Mining Stocks; Moly Mines Limited Update: Iron Ore Project Execution on Track for First Ore Shipment in December 2010

Extension to deadline for molybdenum project finance facility to 31 January 2011

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog ) - Sept. 22, 2010 - Moly Mines Limited (TSX:MOL)(ASX:MOL) provides the following update on development activities at the Spinifex Ridge Iron Ore Project and the status of the US$500 million project financing for the Spinifex Ridge Molybdenum Project.



SPINIFEX RIDGE IRON ORE PROJECT – ON TRACK FOR FIRST SHIPMENT DECEMBER 2010
The major milestone of the successful wet commissioning of the new Utah Point shiploader and berth at Port Hedland over this last weekend gives the Company confidence that it is on track to meet its target of first shipment of iron ore in early December. Approximately 70,000 tonnes of Atlas Iron's ore was shipped on the bulk panamax vessel, the Bergen Max.
Dr Derek Fisher CEO of Moly Mines commented; "This is a significant event for the new iron ore miners of the Pilbara and for Western Australia. The Port Hedland Port Authority, Atlas Iron, and POAGS Bulk Logistics are to be congratulated on this important achievement".
Moly Mines is also pleased to announce that it has awarded the final significant operations contract for the 1 million tonne per annum Spinifex Ridge Iron Ore Project. The ore haulage contract has been awarded to local Pilbara operator Bullbuck Pty Ltd ("Bullbuck") for the transport of the iron ore product from the mine site to the Utah Point port facilities at Port Hedland.
Bullbuck has been operating in the Port Hedland region for more than 13 years providing road haulage services to remote mining locations in the wider Pilbara region. They currently provide haulage services to Consolidated Minerals and Aditya Birla Minerals.
In recent weeks, Moly Mines has announced the award of the mining contract to BGC Contracting Pty Ltd, crushing services to Rapid Crushing Pty Ltd, camp facilities management to the Compass Group / Pantarlangu JV and now the ore haulage agreement. This completes the major contract awards for the operation of the Spinifex Ridge Iron Ore mine.
The primary crusher has been delivered to site while the secondary crushers, screens and slewing stockpile conveyor will be completed by the second week in October for commissioning and production by the end of October.
Mining equipment began arriving on site early in September and mining operations will commence by the end of this month.
Ore haulage to Moly Mines' stockpile area at the Utah Point facility will commence on or around 6 November 2010. The stockpile will be built up over the course of November for first shipment of Spinifex Ridge ore in early December. Sales contracts will be concluded in the near term.
SPINIFEX RIDGE MOLYBDENUM PROJECT - US$500 MILLION PROJECT FINANCING FACILITY
The Subscription Agreement dated 19 October 2009 between Moly Mines and Hanlong Mining Investment Pty Ltd ("Hanlong") requires Hanlong to use best endeavours to procure a US$500 million Project Finance Facility ("Project Finance Facility") for the Spinifex Ridge Molybdenum Project ("Molybdenum Project") on or before 30 September 2010 ("Cut-off date"). Hanlong's parent entity Sichuan Hanlong (Group) Co Ltd agreed to provide, from itself or a related body corporate, a guarantee in favour of the proposed financiers.
Financing Status
Strong progress has been made toward completing the Project Finance Facility. Hanlong are actively engaged with the proposed financiers and regulatory authorities both at the Sichuan provincial and at the state level in Beijing. They have strong finance teams dedicated to the process in their Sydney, Chengdu and Beijing offices.
China Development Bank and China Exim Bank have participated in Perth office and Spinifex Ridge site due diligence over the last 8 weeks. In July, a comprehensive engineering study was completed by a major Chinese engineering group as part of the banking process for the 10 million tonne per annum Molybdenum Project.
In August the Sichuan branch of the National Development Reform Commission ("NDRC") concluded that the Molybdenum Project complied with overseas investment policies and the project has now been submitted to the Beijing office of the NDRC.
The proposed financiers have requested the completion of an Engineering Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contract that describes the scope, cost and schedule for construction of the Molybdenum Project as a core condition precedent to the financing. Moly Mines is currently preparing these arrangements with suitable contractors.
In addition, the proposed financiers have asked Hanlong and its related companies to provide additional asset security for the Molybdenum Project.
Hanlong has advised the Company that they anticipate finalizing term sheets for the Project Finance Facility in mid October 2010 with full loan documents expected to be executed during the period December 2010 to January 2011, subject to the completion of the EPC arrangements and iron ore and molybdenum marketing agreements with Hanlong that will be put to minority Moly Mines shareholders for approval before the end of 2010.
Although significant progress on the Project Finance Facility has been made, terms and conditions for the Project Finance Facility are still being negotiated with the proposed Chinese financers and the level of interest and feedback gives Moly Mines confidence that the funding will be forthcoming. Moly Mines acknowledges the continuing high level of support and commitment of Hanlong to complete this process in the shortest possible timeframe.
New Agreements
In consideration for the additional security, beyond the parent company guarantees, being offered by Hanlong that will strengthen the terms of the Project Finance Facility, Moly Mines has agreed to grant Hanlong additional time to procure the Project Finance Facility by amending the cut-off date in relation to the Financial Penalty to 31 January 2011. The Financial Penalty described in the Subscription Agreement will now apply on this new date. That is, if the Project Financing Facility is not available in accordance with the Subscription Agreement by 31 January 2011 approximately US$45 million of the Shareholder Loan will be forgiven and US$15 million will become immediately repayable.
Further Moly Mines will, subject to shareholder approval being received at the November 2010 Annual General Meeting, issue Hanlong 35.5 million Project Finance Options ("New Options") to replace the options issued under the Subscription Agreement which will lapse on 30 September 2010. The New Options will have the following terms and conditions:

• The New Options will be exercisable at C$1.00 per share.
• The New Options will only vest if full binding documents for the Project Finance Facility are executed by 31 January 2011. If full binding documents for the Project Finance Facility are not executed by 31 January 2011, the New Options will be cancelled.
• If the New Options vest by 31 January 2011, but conditions precedent to the initial drawdown of the Project Finance Facility are not met or waived and initial drawdown is not achieved by 31 December 2011, the New Options will be cancelled.

Mining Stocks; Vanstar Starts Drilling on the Lac Fortune West Gold Project in the Rouyn-Noranda Mining Camp, Quebec

LA PRAIRIE, QUEBEC--(http://www.investorideas.com/ gold and mining stocks blog)   - Sept. 22, 2010 - Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. ("Vanstar")(TSX VENTURE:VSR) wishes to announce that it will start an initial diamond drilling program for a maximum of 2,000 m. This program will be launched within the next two weeks and will test the lateral extensions of the known gold zones on the property.


The property is strategically located on the Cadillac fault, 25 km west of Rouyn Noranda. It is easily accessible by national road 117 which passes just south of the property.

Lac Fortune hosts many auriferous structures, notably the South King Zone and the Main Zone. These gold zones are trending east-west and are known by drilling, over a strike length of 700 m and are located south of the Francoeur-Wasa shear zone. The South King zone displays several geological similarities with the Francoeur-Wasa shear zone orebodies, notably mineralization hosted at an andesite - gabbro lithological contact in close spatial association with an hematite - altered felsic intrusive showing some local breccia textures.
Diamond drilling by previous operators yielded high grade intercepts as well as mineralization over broad intervals as demonstrated by the following historical intercepts:
South King Zone

• 855.58 g/t Au over 0.35 m from 29.83 to 30.18 m
• 60.43 g/t Au over 0.27 m from 69.18 to 69.45 m
• 1.83 g/t Au over 10.94 m from 72.50 to 83.44 m (including 11.42 g/t Au over 1.50 m)
• 1.21 g/t Au over 11.37 m from 52.73 to 64.10 m
• 10.30 g/t Au over 2.75 m from 57.10 to 59.85 m
• 1.13 g/t Au over 12.40 m from 44.40 to 56.80 m

Main Zone

• 9.91 g/t Au on 2,30 m
• 7.30 g/t Au on 6,50 m
• 6.75 g/t Au on 1,45 m

Important exploration and development work is being executed in the immediate proximity of the property. Vantex Resources is advancing the Pitchvein Galloway zone to the west of the property where it is aiming to develop an Osisko type orebody. Recent drilling intersected values of 0,78 g/t Au over 160.5 m, including 1,01 g/t Au over 55,5m, 0.67 g/t Au over 73,65 m, 1,042 g/t Au over 36 m.
Situated directly to the northeast of Lac Fortune, the Francoeur gold mine owned by Richmont Mines ("Richmont") is part of a group of 11 similar deposits located within the Francoeur-Wasa shear zone, a very important east-north-east trending regional gold bearing structure which transects the northeast corner of the property. The principal deposits located in the Francoeur-Wasa shear zone have produced over 500,000 ounces of gold from approximately 2.6 million tonnes of ore with a recovered grade of 6.07 g/t of gold (Richmont Mines Inc. press release dated August 7^th 2009). In the light of the recent strength in the gold price near $1,000 per ounce, Richmont has announced its intention to restart production at the underground Francoeur gold mine in 2011.
This campaign will be under the supervision of MM. Daniel Kelly and Gilles Laverdière, Qualified Persons as defined in NI 43-101. Mr. Gilles Laverdière read and approved this press release.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
