King’s Bay (KBG:tsxv) Receives Preliminary Geophysical Maps From VTEM Plus Survey over Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project
King’s Bay Receives Preliminary Geophysical Maps From VTEM Plus Survey over Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project, Southern Labrador
King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mining exploration and development company based in Vancouver Canada is pleased to announce that through preliminary assessment, several electromagnetic anomalies have been located across the 382 line kilometer area of interest, using Geotech’s, helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) Geophysical Survey over King’s Bay’s 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} owned Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project in southeastern Labrador.
Geotech has provided King’s Bay with preliminary geophysical maps outlining the VTEM data. From the information provided, King’s Bay was able to identify several potential geophysical anomalies, one of which is located in the CA Pit that yielded historic assays of up to 1.39{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cu, 0.94{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co, 0.21{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Ni and 6.5g/t Ag. Geotech Ltd. has advised King’s Bay that it expects to have the full report prepared by the end of April. Deliverables include magnetic, electromagnetic, and chargeability components. Once the final data is received, it will allow King’s Bay’s technical team to continue to develop and interpret these anomalies.
The helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic System (VTEM) has a penetration depth of over 800 m, with a low Base Frequency (30Hz) for penetration through conductive overburden cover, coupled with a 2-3 meters High Spatial Resolution. This system is able to delineate potential drill hole targets from the airborne results. In addition, it also has excellent resistivity discrimination to enable the detection of weak anomalies.
Lynx Lake Project
The Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Property consists of 959 mineral claims encompassing a land area of approximately 240 square kilometers, located 100 kilometers southeast of Happy Valley Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. Government regional low resolution residual magnetic surveys and preliminary handheld electromagnetic surveys done by local prospectors have shown strong conductors beneath the overburden, and provide incentive to explore the area further for additional subsurface mineralization. A 3 phase powerline that is under construction from Muskrat Falls and the Trans-Labrador Highway cross the northern part of the Property.

Press Releases: February 16, 2016
King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mining exploration and development company based in Vancouver, is pleased to announce that, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, it has entered into an agreement dated February 6, 2017 with Gary Lewis, Nigel Lewis and Unity Resources Inc. (collectively the “Vendors”), to acquire a 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} title and interest in the North Trump Island copper-cobalt property in north-central Newfoundland.
Kevin Bottomley states, “The Trump Island acquisition fits in with our commitment to advancing high grade copper-cobalt properties in Newfoundland & Labrador. The fact that there has been historical mining on the island adds a new dimension to our property portfolio.”
Property Overview
The North Trump Island Property consists of 8 mineral claims encompassing an area of 2 square kilometers and is located 7 kilometers south of the town of Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador. The property is accessible by boat 1.5 kilometers east from the nearest boat launch at Tizzard’s Harbour on NL Hwy 345.
The property’s history dates back to the mid 1860’s when a 20-foot (6.1 m) shaft was sunk on a mineralized zone of massive chalcopyrite. At the bottom of the shaft, it was reported that the mineralized zone expanded with depth but, due to limited technology, no further excavation could be safely continued. Follow up grab sampling in 1999 by G. Lewis, an experienced local prospector, revealed mineralization assaying up to 3.80{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cu, 0.30{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co, 2.90 g/t Au and 10.9 g/t Ag near the old Clymo mine shaft. The property has not been drilled to date. The compilation of the recent 1998-99 field work done by Lewis suggests that a more detailed exploration program is warranted.
Exploration History
In 1863 Nicholas Clymo, a miner of Cornwall, United Kingdom visited the area and sunk a pit to a depth of 20 feet (6.1 m) which followed a 3 feet (0.9 m)wide mineralized zone that was said to increase in thickness with depth. He reported that a shipment of high grade copper-cobalt ore was shipped to Swansea, England as documented in the Newfoundland Provincial Mineral Rights Database. This shipment was said to be worth “40 pounds per fathom” (Clymo, 1863). In 1953, J. Kalliokoski of the Newfoundland Geologic Survey headed up a mapping and prospecting program for Newmont Mining Company in the area but no sample assays were reported. In the 1990s, G. Lewis conducted prospecting and limited rock and soil grab samples and filed a first-year assessment report in 1999 with the Newfoundland and Labrador Mineral Titles Branch.
Regional Geology
The Trump Island Group lies near the southeast boundary of the Notre Dame Subzone of the Dunnage Zone in the Central Mobile Belt, locally marked by the Chanceport Fault. The Central Mobile Belt represents the boundary of Laurentia and Gondwanaland at the start of the Appalachian-Caledonian Orogeny. The oldest unit in the Twillingate area is the Cambrian Sleepy Cove Formation mafic pillow flows and breccias mixed with minor silicic volcaniclastics. The Twillingate Granitoid, a high-soda trondjhemite characteristic of ophiolite assemblages intruded the mafic formation. Zircon age-dates place the granitoid as Late Cambrian (510 m.y.). Amphibolite dykes intrude the granitoid and mafic units with Lower Ordovician zircon ages. The ophiolite assemblages in the Notre Dame Subzone host a number of copper-rich deposits that have been mined in west-central Newfoundland.
Local Geology
The property claims cover the majority of North Trump Island and includes mainly Sleepy Cove mafic pillow basalts and breccias which have been retro-metamorphosed to chlorite-sericite-epidote schist foliated subparallel with the contact with the Twillingate granitoid. Mineralisation, as is currently known, occurs as chalcopyrite, pyrite, and pyrrhotite in quartz vein networks and high-sulphide lenses (Clymo Shaft).
Exploration Program
The initial exploration program will include additional sampling from the historic shaft area along with geological mapping and local scale electromagnetics. Based on successful results from these works, a drilling program would be planned for summer, 2017.
Purchase Consideration
In consideration for the purchase, the Company will issue to the Vendors an aggregate of 200,000 common shares at a deemed value of $0.195 per common share on the closing date. The Property is subject to a 2.0{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} net smelter return royalty payable by the Company to the Vendors.

Shutdowns at Biggest Mines Extend Copper’s Best Rally in 5 Years
Shutdowns at Biggest Mines Extend Copper’s Best Rally in 5 Years
Copper is extending the best start to a year since 2012 after the world’s two biggest mines halted some operations.
The metal has rallied 11 percent this year, helped ongoing problems at Freeport-McMoRan Inc.’s Grasberg complex in Indonesia and BHP Billiton Ltd.’s Escondida mine in Chile. Futures for March delivery climbed 0.5 percent to $2.783 a pound at 1:18 p.m. on the Comex in New York, after earlier touching $2.823, the highest since May 2015.
“Copper’s been leading the way, but everything’s moved higher in a broad allocation back into metals,” Robin Bhar, an analyst at Societe Generale SA, said by phone from London. “We’ve had supply-side concerns which have boosted the market no end.”
Freeport-McMoRan suspended copper concentrate output at its giant Grasberg complex in Indonesia as the company continues to negotiate with the government over the terms of its mining permit.
Local unit PT Freeport Indonesia halted output at its copper mill Friday, Tri Puspital, a member of the industrial relations department at Grasberg’s labor union, said by phone Monday. The shutdown came after Freeport ran out of space to store copper that has been backing up at the site since last month, when its permit to export expired.
Read more about Freeport’s copper concentrate suspension at Grasberg.
An indefinite strike at BHP Billiton’s Escondida mine in Chile has also led the company to stop production and declare force majeure on its shipments. Over the weekend, a group of more than 300 people entered the mine site during the strike and forced some contractors to abandon the compound, BHP said.
“After the force majeure at Escondida on Friday, the market took off like a rocket,” Bhar said.
A 20-day stoppage at Escondida and a one-month delay to exports at Grasberg would result in an output loss of almost 100,000 tons, including 64,000 tons from the Chilean mine, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said a note dated Feb. 8.
Macquarie Group Ltd. expects the BHP strike to last up to three weeks, London-based analyst Vivienne Lloyd said by e-mail. The dispute at Grasberg could be tougher to resolve, she said.
Copper rallied 5.5 percent last week in London and ranks third this year among the best-performing contracts tracked by the Bloomberg Commodity Index. Gains this year also come amid President Donald Trump’s promise to spend $1 trillion in infrastructure over the next 10 years.
“Definitely if copper output is at all sidelined with the talk about all this new spending in the U.S. and building we’re going to see an extension upwards, it could get pretty ugly,” Phil Streible, a senior market strategist at RJO Futures in Chicago, said in a telephone interview.
Mining stocks also advanced on Monday, with Teck Resources Ltd. gaining more than 3 percent
Money managers who cut their record bullish bet in copper last week missed out on the rally. Hedge funds and other large speculators lowered the net-long position in copper futures and options contracts by 15 percent, the most since October, according to Commodity Futures Trading Commission data released Friday.

Puma Exploration and Votorantim Metals Canada amend the terms of the Murray Brook Property Agreement
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: January 25, 2017
Puma Exploration inc. (the “Company” or “Puma”) (TSX VENTURE:PUM)(SSE:PUMA) is pleased to announce that by mutual agreement, Votorantim Metals Canada Inc. (“Votorantim”) and Puma have agreed to modify the terms of the amended and restated Asset Purchase Agreement signed October 5th, 2016 to facilitate and accelerate the final closing of the acquisition of the Murray Brook Property which include the transfer of the mining claims to Puma.
To satisfy the new requirements as set in the amended agreement signed November 27th 2017, Puma will proceed with the $2M cash consideration on February 28th, 2018 as previously agreed. The date at which the Environmental Bond will be assumed by Puma has been postponed to December 31st, 2018, the date of the final cash consideration payment. Once the final cash consideration payment is done and that Puma has assumed the Environmental bond, the mining claims will be transferred to Puma.
“We are very pleased with this new mutual agreement that provides Puma with more flexibility in achieving our shared objective in finalizing the acquisition of the Murray Brook Property. The delay of the release of the Environmental Bond will let us focus on exploring and developing the Murray Brook Deposit” notes Marcel Robillard, President of Puma.
Except as specifically modified pursuant to the present release, no other changes or modifications to the Asset Purchase Agreement are intended or implied or have otherwise been agreed between the Parties. The present modifications have to be reviewed by the usual regulatory agencies.
Current Exploration Program
The second phase of the 2017 exploration program has begun on prospective new areas on both sides of the Murray Brook Deposit and initially consists of trenching. Puma’s geologists have defined several new high priority targets based on their stratigraphic location, their proximity to the Deposit and along the best geophysical anomalies.
So far, 11 trenches have been completed for a total of 803 meters. Along the Western side of the Murray Brook Deposit, altered black shales units were discovered and contain disseminated sulphides and also small veinlets of sulphide. The mineralized rocks, visually similar to the Murray Brook Deposit footwall sediments, were found over a strong chargeability and gravity anomalies. This trenching program was also aimed at defining several high priority targets that will be tested in the coming drilling program.
Corporate Matter
An insider of the Company has participated in the recent September 15th, 2017 flow through private placement for an amount of $1,000.00 (representing 1% of the total placement). This insider subscribed to the units on the same terms as the other investors. The participation of an insider is exempt of the standard regulatory acceptance as well as of the approval of the shareholders of the Company according to sections 5.5 (a) and 5.7 (a) of the Regulation 61-101 « Regulation 61-101 » concerning the protection of minor shareholders in a special transaction. This exemption is based on the fact that the market value of the placement or the amount paid by each of the total insiders does not represent more than 25% of the market value of the Company.
Qualified Persons and QC/AC
The content of this press release was prepared by Marcel Robillard, P.Geo., President and Dominique Gagné, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration of Puma Exploration, qualified persons as defined by NI 43-101, who supervised the preparation and technical information that forms the basis for this news 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. Mr. Robillard and Mr. Gagné are not independent of the Company, as both are officers and shareholders thereof. The samples were prepared, sent, processed at ALS Val D’Or, Québec and ALS Sudbury, Ontario. All samples were assayed by ME-ICP41 method and gold was assayed by AU-AA26 method. QA/QC are monitored by the analysis of blanks, reference material and replicate samples at a frequency of one (1) of each per 30 samples.
About the Murray Brook Project
The Murray Brook Project consists of three (3) distinct contiguous areas that cover more than 18 kilometers of the favorable rocks that host the operating Caribou Mine (Trevali Mining Corp.), the Murray Brook Deposit and the past operating Restigouche Mine (Trevali Mining Corp.).
