Auramex Resource Corp Georgie River Gold-Silver Project Key to Long Term Value
MONTREAL, QUEBEC – MomentumPR ‘s client Auramex Resource Corp. , is listed on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol: AUX . (TSXV:AUX)
Momentum PR is pleased to have produced an informative and comprehensive report on Auramex Resources Corp o ration, available here – Auramex Resource Corp. Momentum Report .
Auramex Resource Corp. Highlights
- Auramex’ flagship project includes the historic Georgia River Mine, a high-grade gold mine 100% owned by Auramex.
- The high-grade deposit at the Mine, outlined by drilling and past production, confirms the presence of gold in this extremely large hydrothermal system.
- Drilling from 1978 to 2003 was primarily aimed at the area around the past production. Drilling encountered highly encouraging gold values along 400 metres of strike length and throughout the 100 metres of vertical extent probed by the drilling.
- Dr. Metcalfe (who is now Auramex Director and VP Exploration) confirmed the presence of Early Jurassic magmatic intrusions near the mine. Intrusions of that age are closely associated with many large gold deposits in the Golden Triangle.
- Information compiled by Auramex provides compelling evidence of a large gold-bearing geological system.
- Fieldwork by Auramex confirmed the presence of alteration, mineralization and strongly anomalous gold values in other areas of the property as well.
- Other projects for Auramex include American Creek, Bear Pass, Lower Bear and Tide North Project. Auramex has rigorously assembled properties previously explored piecemeal by various operators over the past century.
Auramex Resource Corp (TSXV:AUX) is a Canadian gold junior that creates shareholder value by applying its extensive geological expertise in the quest for large-scale gold discoveries. Advanced scientific work now underway is refining targets for a drill program intended to probe beneath the past-producing high-grade gold mine in the hunt for a multi-million oz. deposit. Georgia River Mine, the Auremex flagship project, is situated in an area known for million-ounce gold deposits; the Golden Triangle. Geological advances and infrastructure developments are turning the under-explored region into what investment analysts describe as the “centre of a new Canadian gold rush”. Georgia Mine, discovered in 1910, faced the challenges of difficult access at that time, as well as limits to the processing technology and was abandoned in 1939. The property laid dormant until the late 1970s. Drilling from 1978 to 2003 was primarily aimed at the area around the past production. Most of the work was conducted by juniors with the intent of re-starting the old mine. The minimal work conducted outside of the mine area found encouraging signs of a larger system, but there was no follow-up until the property was acquired by Auramex.
The geophysics outlined a large VTEM anomaly, interpreted as a conductive zone oriented along a southwest-dipping fault. Gold values in excess of a gram per tonne have been identified over an area in excess of a square kilometer largely co-incident with the geophysical anomaly.
The information compiled by Auramex provides compelling evidence of a large gold-bearing geological system of which the old mine is one small part. The work now underway is aimed at identifying concentrations of gold within that system outside of the known gold-bearing zone at surface.
Considering all 5 of Auramex’s projects, the primary focus now is to advance geological understanding. Auramex’ primary goal is to fund exploration at Georgia River and to seek joint venture funding for its other projects. The larger mining companies are interested in the Golden Triangle and looking for access to large blocks with well-defined geological targets.

San Marco Completes Phase 1 Drilling at Buck Property, Central BC
2020-04-08 07:30 ET – News Release
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 8, 2020) – San Marco Resources Inc. (TSXV: SMN) (“San Marco”) is pleased to announce that the previously announced Phase I diamond drilling program (March 17, 2020) has been completed at its 100% optioned gold/silver/zinc Buck property in north-central B.C.
The 1,806 metre drill program was centered in an area of historic mineralization and consisted of a total of five holes, with three collared in the Horseshoe Zone and two approximately 300 metres to the northwest in the Adit Zone (see Figure 1).
Highlights of the Phase I drill program include:
- All five holes intersected mineralization from surface.
- Three of the five holes intersected mineralization to depths in excess of 400 metres, which is approximately 150 metres below historic drilling depths.
- Mineralization is hosted in highly altered and fractured volcanic breccias as disseminations, veins/veinlets, and mineralized fractures.
- Initial logging suggests a large, highly altered gold/silver/zinc volcanic breccia system, open in all directions.
Drill hole locations are set out below in Table 1.
Hole ID | Easting | Northing | Azimuth | Dip | Length (m) |
BK20-001 | 654649 | 6019613 | 45o | -55o | 467 |

Total Length (m) | 1806 |
Table 1. Phase I Drill Hole Locations at the Buck Property
The drill core samples are being processed by ALS Chemex in North Vancouver and results will be announced when available.
San Marco’s Executive Director, Bob Willis, commented “We are very excited to have completed our initial drill program at Buck. We look forward to analyzing the results and receiving assays, which will help guide planning of Phase II exploration. I thank the entire team for diligently completing this drill program ahead of schedule and on budget. During this time of COVID-19 awareness, I especially thank the front-line team of Coast Mountain Geological and JT Thomas Drilling, who operated under strict COVID-19 protocols and completed the program in a safe and healthy manner.”
Industry best practices were used for defining a QA/QC program where 5% of the sampling stream was controlled by industry recognized certified reference material (CRM’s) and blanks. When necessary, an additional 5% of QA/QC in the form of pulp and coarse reject duplicates were selected for laboratory verification. The drill core was mapped and logged in detail by geologists utilizing a logging approach designed by senior technical managers.

SIRONA BIOCHEM INITIATES COVID-19 AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Sirona Biochem Corp.’s French subsidiary lab, TFChem, has initiated an anti-viral program to produce potential new anti-viral agents to assist in combating COVID-19 and other infectious diseases.
After two months of extensive research, TFChem scientists have determined the proprietary platform technology can be applied to develop new antiviral compounds. Work on this program has begun with a goal to produce new therapies in three current antiviral categories: Neuraminidase Inhibitors, Nucleoside Analogs and Iminosugars. These categories are all Glycosides with a carbohydrate core and therefore suitable for application of the technology. The goal is to develop novel multi-target antiviral compounds, affecting different steps of the viral life cycle. The company believes there is a high therapeutic potential for these Glycosides.
Viruses are a leading cause of death globally. Therapies to treat most viral infections are limited and the emergence of new viruses can greatly endanger society, as is currently the case with the pandemic caused by COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2. There is a need to identify novel, effective and safe drugs to treat viral infections. Awareness of the value of this project and other antiviral projects ongoing globally has become apparent.
“We have the financial resources to initiate this project and anticipate we will secure further non-dilutive financing to support the project ongoing. We are working to secure new senior laboratory technicians to join our current team at TFChem and have identified suitable candidates within France that will greatly expand our capabilities. We will also reach out to our current partners to explore how their capabilities can assist us in this project. None of these efforts will affect our current core projects which are principally managed by different team members than are involved in early stage compound synthesis,” said Dr. Howard Verrico, CEO of Sirona Biochem.
“These are difficult times with our global battle against COVID-19. We are receiving tremendous support from the French government and have a dedicated team who are always searching for new opportunities to apply our technology. Dr. Geraldine Deliencourt-Godefroy, our Chief Scientific Officer, has a proven ability to identify projects with significant probabilities of clinical success. On her recommendation and the recognition to potentially deliver novel therapies that can benefit the global population, we have decided to proceed with this program,” Dr. Verrico added.

Northern Lights Resources (CSE:NLR) Growth Metrics Edge Higher After Secret Pass Gold Project Purchase
MONTREAL, QUEBEC – MomentumPR‘s client Northern Lights Resources Corporation, is listed on the CSE exchange under the symbol: NLR(CSE:NLR).
Momentum PR is pleased to have produced an informative and comprehensive report on Northern Lights Resources, available here – Northern Lights Resources Corporation Investor Report.
Northern Lights Resources Corporation Highlights
- Northern Lights Resources has two prospective mining projects that continue to affirm long-term growth prospects; Secret Pass Gold Project in Arizona and Medicine Springs Silver/Lead/Zinc project in Nevada.
- Secret Pass Gold Project is a former gold producing property, 100% owned by NLR with no royalties payable from future production.
- The prospective gold project stands out in part because it features two major fault systems with numerous gold deposits showing. – NLR is progressing with an exploration plan that includes an aeromagnetic survey and an updated NI43-101 project report for the historic Tin Cup open-pit resource area. Tin Cup offers near-term production opportunities and the potential to host high-grade, shallow underground and open pit gold targets.
- Medicine Spring Project is targeting a large scale, high-grade, silver-lead-zinc carbonate replacement sulphide deposit.
- 123 shallow holes were completed to an average depth of only 43 meters. Notable intersections from the historical drilling includes 18% zinc and 36 g/t Ag over 5m and 7% Zn, 4% Pb, and 114 g/t Ag over 8m. – Exploration results defined a strong NE trending lead-zinc-silver soil anomaly that extends >2000 metres in length and 350-500 meters in width that is planned for drilling in 2020.
Northern Lights Resources Corp. (CSE:NLR) is a growth-oriented company committed to increased shareholder value through exploration and development of high-quality resource projects.
Secret Pass located in Mojave County, Arizona just 15 km north of the historic Oatman gold mining district is a region that produced 2 million ounces of gold 1892-1940. The project area’s excellent advantages include power, water, a skilled labor pool, plus epithermal gold mineralization, hosted by steeply dipping regional fault systems. Past exploration drilling completed in 1984-1991 intersected significant high-grade gold mineralization in the Tin Cup Gold Zone, with gold assays ranging as high as 40g/t.
The Medicine Springs property located in Elko County, Nevada is a previous producer with an extensive drilling prospective for high-grade oxide and sulphide silver, zinc and lead mineralization. Northern Lights is earning 100% equity interest in the project.
Backed by an experienced management team, Northern Lights Resources is on its way to becoming a highly valued exploration company in terms of value generation supported by two highly prospective mining projects.

Colibri Resource’s Evelyn Gold Project is Gathering Major Attention as Significant New Discovery Potential
MomentumPR‘s client Colibri Resource Corporation, is listed on the TSX Venture exchange under the symbol: CBI(TSXV:CBI) (OTC:CRUCF).
Momentum PR is pleased to have produced an informative and comprehensive report on Colibri Resource Corporation, available here – Momentum Report – Colibri Resource.
Colibri Resource Corporation Highlights
- The company currently has five promising exploration properties at various stages of exploration in the Sonora Gold Belt. The Evelyn Project is the Colibri flagship exploration project located in northern Sonora.
- The state’s mineral-rich area is home to miners such as Fresnillo – Mexico’s largest gold producer and the world’s leading silver producer.
- The El Mezquite 180-hectare site has the potential to host low grade/large tonnage deposits with high sulphidation mineralization. Of 321 rock chip samples, 42 showed high values of >0.10 g/t Au and up to 3.41 g/t Au & 198 g/t Ag.
- Pitaya is located on the Caborca Orogenic Belt in northwest Sonora, an area known for its gold-rich quartz veins. Exploration just two kilometres east at Fresnillo’s Tajitos Project has identified a minimum of 400K Oz.
- Colibri has received the required drilling permits and recently contracted Major Drilling for its maiden drilling program at its Evelyn gold project located 60 kilometres northwest of Caborca, Mexico. The drilling may commence as early as next week.
Colibri Resource Corp. (CBI:TSXV) is a Canadian junior formed explicitly “to acquire and explore historical mining districts in Mexico.” Colibri’s five Sonora properties are located in or near a free-trade zone, which facilitates cross-border movement and general business. The properties enjoy ease of access, well-developed infrastructure, an available pool of skilled labour and a large degree of common logistics, owing to the sites’ relative proximity to each other.
The Evelyn Project considered a significant new discovery opportunity, enjoys open pit potential and contains free gold in oxide ore type, with orogenic mineralization. Buoyed by the gold project’s prospects, the Canadian mining company recently engaged the services of Major Drilling for its eminent drilling program.
The mapping study and drilling program comes by virtue of a localized chip sampling survey in which the samples returned as high as 4.81g/t AU and 4.19 g/t Au in an area with high levels of iron oxide staining. A sampling of the main zone returned 43.1 g/t Au, in sample values, early last ear.
Colibri optioning its Pillar and selling its Pitaya gold properties should help minimize stock dilution while also help accelerate their development. The sale of non-core properties should also allow the company to get the much-needed financing to advance their other highly prospective gold projects while, for now, wisely financing Evelyn and El Mezquite Gold Projects and upholding shareholder value.
The Evelyn project is set to be one of the key drivers propelling the company’s underlying value in part because it is one of the last claims of land not held by a major producer in the area and financing is being generated internally rather than through stock dilution. In fact, Mexico’s largest gold mining company dominates the area by holding upwards of 300,000 hectares of claims around the Evelyn property. Steady news is expected from the Company for the foreseeable future as advancements are made and milestones achieved.

VANSTAR EXPANDS AMANDA GOLD PROJECT
The management of the company announces that it has acquired 98 additional cells (5,188 hectares) by map designation to be added to Amanda project for a total of 138 cells with a total area of 7,306 hectares.
The Amanda property is located 275 km northwest of Chibougamau within the regional county municipality of Jamésie in the southern part of the Nord-du-Québec administrative region, Quebec, Canada.
Local geology
The Amanda project is located in the southeastern part of the Auclair Formation in the La Grande Subprovince. The Auclair Formation consists of a sedimentary pile essentially made up of paragneiss alternating with iron formations varying from a few meters to forty meters thick. South of Lac Béryl, there is an intrusion corresponding to a foliated and homogeneous tonalite as well as a band of volcanic rocks belonging to the Natel Formation. The Natel Formation represents the basis of the Eastmain Group. South of the Natel Formation, metasedimentary rocks are described as belonging to the Laguiche Complex. The region has structural complexity linked to the presence of folds, shear zones and faults.
Two major deformation phases (D1 and D2) are highlighted on the property.
Orogenic-type gold mineralization is associated with these two deformation episodes. However, the most important, such as the Eau Claire deposit located 40 km to the west and the mineralization of the Amanda property, are linked to event D2.
Economic geology
Several gold showings are listed on the Amanda property. Other evidence with a similar geological background is also highlighted within a 15 km radius to the west and southwest of the property. Mineralization consists of pyrite, pyrrhotite, disseminated arsenopyrite, and gold in veined quartz veins intersecting iron formations or in paragneiss.

“The geological and geophysical data as well as the presence of many gold showings located in several locations on the Amanda property and in its environment confirm the gold potential of this project. Following the recommendations of our consulting firm, we plan to start various exploration work there (geophysics, geology and prospecting) as soon as the land is accessible in order to prepare a first drilling campaign, “underlined the CEO, Mr. Guy Morissette.
The company is currently in discussions with a few specialized firms in order to carry out this first step.
Félix project
The management of the company intends to undertake as soon as possible a first drilling program on this project. Located in the Chicobi sedimentary formation, this project proposes some interesting targets in areas of low magnetic intensities.
Nelligan Project
With regard to the Nelligan project, the drilling program currently underway continues without stopping. The company is still awaiting the first results. More than 2,500 meters have been completed to date on a program of a minimum of 8,000 meters. The objectives of this program are to verify the lateral and in-depth extensions of the Nelligan deposit as well as to categorize the inferred resources into the indicated resources.
The Nelligan deposit contains nearly 100 million tonnes grading 1.02 g/t Au for a current total of nearly 3.2 million ounces of inferred gold (NI43-101 Report Oct 2019).
