Majescor stakes three gold-diamond projects in Quebec
Majescor stakes three gold-diamond projects in Quebec
– Momentum Public Relations –
Press Release: January 19, 2017
Majescor Resources Inc. has map-staked a number of new properties for gold and diamonds in Quebec based on a thorough review of its exploration database. The following is a brief summary of the recent acquisitions.
- Mirabelli — two claim blocks totalling more than 2,550 hectares were acquired in close proximity to the Radisson Road in the James Bay area. They cover the source area of anomalous gold values in till (up to 40 grains recovered from heavy mineral concentrates) samples collected over a previously unmapped probable banded iron formation identified earlier by Majescor through high-resolution airborne geophysics. The anomalous sectors are to be followed up through glacial sediment sampling as early as possible this spring, in conjunction with grassroots work on the unexplored portions of the pluri-kilometric belt;
- Laparre — the property, located in the Otish Mountains, totals 461 hectares and covers anomalous kimberlitic indicator minerals (KIMs) counts in till. Ground follow-up is planned for the next field season;
- Nottaway — the claim block totalling 1,899 hectares is situated roughly 105 kilometres west of the town of Matagami. It covers the probable head of a poorly defined, albeit very anomalous dispersal train of KIMs identified by RC (reverse circulation) drilling from glacial sediments. The recovery of counts of up to 300 KIMs from the basal section of the drill holes, and the significant proportion of ilmenites (up to 30 per cent) and garnets bearing fragile partial alteration mantles suggest proximity to source. A review of all available geophysical data over the property will be initiated in the near future. The higher-priority anomalies are to be tested by ground geophysics and drilling later in 2017. A number of untested magnetic anomalies are already known to be present within the project area based on earlier geophysical work.
Continuing projects
- Eastmain gold — a grassroots exploration program was performed by Diagnos in 2016 on nine claim blocks that surround the former Eastmain gold mine in the Otish Mountains area of Quebec. A total of 148 grab samples from different lithologies, as well as 10 samples from left-in-the-field drill cores from hole DDH 33C-05-08, were sent to ALS laboratory. Although no significant gold values were encountered, some of the visited targets present favourable alteration and deserve follow-up work;
- Rupert lithium — till sampling was carried out on transects in 2016 to follow up on distinctive lake sediment anomalies. Pegmatite was frequently visible in outcrop, and boulders showing two distinct facies (white and red pegmatite) were observed on one of the claim blocks located southwest of Whabouchi. Analytical results (ALS Labs in Val d’Or) are pending.
The technical content of this release was reviewed by Remi Charbonneau, PGeo, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Sage Gold (SGX:tsxv) to Conduct Surface Drill Program at Clavos
Sage to Conduct Surface Drill Program at Clavos
– Momentum Public Relations –
Press Release: January 19th, 2017
Sage Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SGX) ‘Sage’ is planning to commence drilling at its Clavos gold property located 32 kms east north east of Timmins, Ontario in the prolific East Timmins Gold Camp.
The program will consist of 1,500 metres of surface drilling involving 7 drill holes commencing next week. Drilling will initially start on the eastern portion of the “Main Mine Trend” of the Clavos deposit hosting significant mineralization in the Contact, Hangingwall (HW) and Footwall (FW) and Sediment Zones.
The current program’s objective is to test a 235 metre gap between the existing underground infrastructure and the 960 Zone from section 514525E and 514765E. Five holes are planned in this area targeting a shallow plunging flexure controlling gold, arsenopyrite, pyrite, quartz vein mineralization located in the altered ultramafics and porphyries flanking the Porcupine Group sediments demarked by the Pipestone Fault structure. The vertical and horizontal continuity of four gold bearing zones will be evaluated between the 1150m elevation and 1080m elevation (mine reference elevations). A systematic drill hole spacing of 60 metres may further define the plunge orientation of some of the high-grade shoots identified within the existing mine infrastructure.
In addition, 2 drill holes are planned on the western end of the Clavos deposit between section 512800E and 512830E. These holes are intended to in-fill gaps in the historic surface and underground drilling beyond the limits of the existing underground workings at the 1125 elevation order to better define new stoping blocks.
Nigel Lees, President and CEO commented: “Sage announced the closing of a $11.5 million financing commitment in November 2016, of which approximately $7.2 million is allocated to fund the development and restart of the Clavos mine. Historical expenditures by St Andrew Goldfields and Sage on the property have exceeded $70.0 million excluding prior expenditures by United Tex-sol, Kinross and Canamax. Dewatering of the Clavos deposit underground workings has commenced and is on time and on budget. Rehabilitation will follow the dewatering process to define the stope blocks and provide underground drill stations to test the down plunge extensions of the existing zones. Sage is permitted to produce 700 tonnes per day and has secured a life of mine milling agreement with Primero Mining’s Stock mill 10 kilometres away.”
The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Sage’s consulting geologist, Peter Hubacheck, PGeo, who is a Qualified Person (“QP”) as defined in National Instrument 43-101.
Sage currently plans to complete a reserve estimate and a prefeasibility study regarding the Clavos project. In the event that a production decision is made that is not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions.

Arctic Star applies for drilling permits for Cap
Arctic Star Exploration Corp. has begun permitting for a drill program on the company’s wholly owned Cap property, which is located approximately 80 kilometres northwest of Prince George, B.C.
The company acquired the Cap property in 2010 for its potential to host rare metal deposits (niobium and tantalum) and/or rare earth elements. These commodities have undergone a dramatic shift in demand, owing in part to their usage in the green energy sector, which includes modern wind turbines, rechargeable batteries, catalytic convertors and more.
The Cap property is within the central parts of the Rocky Mountain rare metal belt; it encompasses six claims (one new) totalling 2,825 hectares (6,980 acres) and is about 50 km southwest of the Wicheeda REE carbonatite. During 2008 and 2009, the Main zone at Wicheeda was drill tested with 15 drill holes at three sites.
Highlights included:
- 2008-02: 3.55 per cent REE across 48.64 metres;
- 2009-07: 2.92 per cent REE across 72 metres;
- 2009-09: 2.2 per cent REE across 144 metres.
The property was originally staked to cover an approximately three- to five-kilometre-diameter, circular, airborne magnetic geophysical anomaly, which is believed to represent a carbonatite (or similar intrusion) at depth. A brief field examination during September, 2010, identified two narrow syenite dikes, near the crest of the ridge that trends from northwest to southeast across the property. The dikes contained highly anomalous geochemistry, including 481 to 981 parts per million niobium, 1,125 to 3,191 parts per million zirconium, greater than 100 parts per million lanthanum, greater than 100 parts per million cerium and greater than 50 parts per million neodymium. These high-level dikes indicate that the source of the magnetic geophysical anomaly may be associated with a carbonatite or similar intrusion.
More recently, a single contiguous claim was staked to cover a newly discovered rare metal occurrence, which includes a thin fenite dike, which is typically indicative of proximity to a larger alkaline intrusive body. Two historical samples returned strongly anomalous values of rare earth elements (0.13 and 0.10 per cent REE).
Geologically, the Cap property has similar potential to the known carbonatite complexes worldwide. Carbonatite-related deposits are a major host for rare metals, such as niobium and tantalum, and rare earth elements. The world’s largest niobium mine, Araxa in Brazil, and several of the world’s largest rare earth element deposits, including Lynas Corp.’s Mount Weld deposit in Australia and Molycorp’s Mountain Pass deposit in the United States, are all hosted by carbonatites. Geologically similar exploration projects include Hudson Resources Inc.’s Sarfartoq carbonatite project in Greenland and Rare Element Resources Ltd.’s Bear Lodge carbonatite project in Wyoming.

Medical Cannabis: an Effective Tool to Manage Severe Pain
Medical Cannabis: an Effective Tool to Manage Severe Pain
Many people have heard about medical cannabis or medical marijuana. This natural remedy can be used to treat inflammation in the body, as well as symptoms of a number of other medical conditions. Do you know why it is so effective as a means to manage severe pain?
About Cannabis: An Overview
Cannabis is a plant that grows wild in many parts of the world. Marijuana refers to the flowers (buds) and leaves of the female plant, which are cured (dried). Hemp is cannabis that is grown for its fibre. It’s used to make a variety of products, including rope, paper and clothing.
Medical marijuana is specifically bred to have larger buds than the wild variety. It also has higher levels of the compounds that affect the mind. These active pharmacological components of cannabis are effective in treating pain and other medical conditions in the human body because they are similar to a system that already exists in the human body. It is called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).
Endocannabinoid System
The body’s ECS is controlled by chemicals that it produces, which are known as endocannabinoids. These endocannabinoids are the chemicals that are responsible for keeping a number of the body’s functions in balance, such as appetite, sleep and immune function. They also regulate pain. When the body is stressed in some manner, these specialized chemicals go to work and attempt to deal with the issue.
When someone ingests cannabis, it mimics the function of these types of chemicals that the body produces naturally, resulting in relief from pain. Cannabis also lowers inflammation by working with the body’s endocannabinoid system.
Active Ingredients in Cannabis
Cannabis is a type of plant that contains more than 400 active chemicals. The active components found in cannabis are referred to as cannabinoids. There are more than 100 different cannabinoids present in cannabis. The most common one is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. This is the ingredient that produces the feeling of being “high” that recreational users experience.
CBD is another cannabinoid contained in cannabis. Unlike THC, it doesn’t give users a “high.” Instead it helps to dampen the effects of THC (euphoria and lethargy).
Heath Benefits of THC and CBD
THC and CBD offer a number of health benefits when ingested. THC is a strong pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, having many more powerful properties than both Aspirin and hydrocortisone. THC has anti-spasmodic and muscle relaxant qualities. It is also a powerful antioxidant.
CBD is second most powerful cannabinoid contained cannabis. It is the most common one found in hemp plants. CBD is known for its ability to relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as tachycardia (rapid heartbeat). It has also been used to control some forms of epilepsy, can help to regulate blood pressure and reduce nausea.
CBD-rich cannabis strains provides powerful therapeutic benefits without giving users the sense of euphoria or lethargy that ones with higher levels of THC produce. Medical cannabis would be made up of these types of specially-bred strains. The medical marijuana available from authorized distributors is not the same product that the public pictures being available from street vendors.
The plant strains are selected and bred to provide the best results for patients. In the case of a medical treatment strain, the marijuana would likely contain a balance of THC and CBD that would balance its pain-relief, anti-inflammatory and other benefits with the risk of producing a feeling of euphoria and lethargy. Patients who use marijuana for medical purposes want to be able to remain functional while achieving pain relief and other benefits.
All cannabinoids, including THC and CBD, must be heated in order to convert their acids into active ingredients. For this reason, smoking is an effective way of ingesting the product. It’s the most expedient way to get the THC and CBD into the bloodstream. The interior of the lungs’ surfaces are covered with millions of alveoli (tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs). These air sacs have a surface area much greater than the skin, making it easy for the chemicals in the medical marijuana to enter the body, usually within seconds after ingestion. Vaporizers, which heat the cannabis to a level in order to vaporize the active ingredients without burning, may also be used to ingest medical cannabis.
