0
Mithril Resources Ltd (ASX:MTH) is pleased to advise that it has applied for a new 100% - owned Exploration Licence (EL09/2315 - Genoa Bore Copper Zinc Project) that lies west of Galena Mining Limited's Abra Deposit within a similar geological setting (located 300 kms north west of Meekatharra, WA - see Figure 1 in link below).

- New 100% - owned tenement application named "Genoa Bore" west of the Abra Lead Silver Deposit

- Genoa Bore covers interpreted western extension of large regional scale structure that controls mineralisation at Abra

- Prospectivity of new project highlighted by strong indications of copper and zinc mineralisation in historic work

- Strengthens the Company's exploration portfolio which includes the Kurnalpi Nickel Project where Mithril is planning to test priority nickel sulphide targets in late June.

Mithril's new Genoa Bore Project (340km2) covers the interpreted western extension of the Lyons River Fault Zone, a large regional scale structure that controls mineralisation at Abra 140 km to the East, within an area of similar Proterozoic sediments that host the Abra deposit (See Figure 2 in link below).

A 2012 JORC Code Compliant Indicated and Inferred Resource of 36.6Mt @ 7.3% lead, 18g/t silver has been recently estimated for the Abra Deposit (see ASX Announcement by Galena Mining Limited dated 14 March 2018).

At Genoa Bore, Mithril is targeting an economic accumulation of copper and zinc mineralisation. The area's prospectivity is highlighted by historic surface rock chip sampling and wide spaced drilling, some of which has returned strong indications of copper and zinc mineralisation, see Tables 2 - 3, and Figure 3 in link below;

- Rock chip samples with individual assay values up to 17.5% copper, 2.4% lead, 3.70% zinc, and 120ppm silver

- Drilling - 48m @ 2,709ppm Zn from 54 metres in ISBD1, 5m @ 5,940ppm Zn from 130 metres in ISBD2, and 21m @ 3,488ppm Zn from 315 metres in ISBD3

Mithril will now conduct a data compilation, review and target generation exercise at Genoa Bore ahead of the tenement's grant which is expected within the next 12 months.

The addition of the new project strengthens Mithril's exploration portfolio which includes the Kurnalpi Nickel Project (two targets prioritised for drill testing and EM geophysics in late June 2018), and the Billy Hills Zinc Project (target generation continuing ahead of expected tenement grant in the September 2018 Quarter) (see Table 1 in link below).

White Rock Minerals Ltd (ASX:WRM) ("White Rock" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that two of the first three diamond drill holes have intersected massive sulphide mineralisation at its 100% owned high-grade zinc VMS project at Red Mountain in Alaska.

At the Dry Creek deposit the first drill hole (DC18-76) intersected a zone of massive to semi-massive sulphide with coarse sphalerite and galena from 63.9 to 72.7 metres (8.8m) downhole (estimated true width of 7.9m) (see Figure 2 in link below). This hole is some 20 metres from the nearest holes (DC97-33 and DC98-39).

At West Tundra the second drill hole (WT18-28) intersected a zone of massive to semi-massive sulphide with visible sphalerite and galena from 60.6 to 63.1 metres (2.5m) downhole (estimated true width of 2.5m) (see Figure 1 in link below). This hole is some 75 metres from the nearest drill hole (WTF82-05). The first drill hole (WT18-27) drilled down a steep angled fault and did not intersect any significant base metal sulphide mineralisation.

Mineralised intervals have been split, sampled and submitted to ALS laboratories for analysis of gold and base metals. Results are anticipated in late June.

MD & CEO Matt Gill said "The commencement of the Company's first exploration programme at our globally significant(see Note below) high-grade Zinc VMS Project at Red Mountain in Alaska is a significant milestone for us. This programme is the culmination of two years work, analysing the existing data, identifying 30 high priority exploration targets, expanding our strategic footprint ten-fold, producing a maiden high-grade zinc - silver JORC Resource, and then tendering and awarding a number of contracts for the camp, diamond drilling, on-ground reconnaissance crews and supporting services. We look forward to advancing our knowledge of this VMS field, and the news flow that should come from a successful exploration program here."

Note: Refer ASX Announcement dated 26 September 2017 "White Rock Minerals Independent Research Report".

About Red Mountain (as more fully set out in the ASX Announcement dated 15 February 2016)

- The Red Mountain Project is located in central Alaska, 100km south of Fairbanks, in the Bonnifield Mining District. The tenement package comprises 230 mining claims over a total area of 143km2.

- The Red Mountain Project contains polymetallic VMS mineralisation rich in zinc, silver and lead, with potential for significant gold and copper.

- Mineralisation occurs from surface and is open along strike and down-dip.

- White Rock used historical drilling to determine a maiden JORC 2012 Mineral Resource estimate for the Dry Creek and West Tundra Flats deposit (ASX Announcement 26th April 2017). The Inferred Mineral Resource contains an impressive base metal and precious metal content with 678,000t zinc, 286,000t lead, 53.5 million ounces silver and 352,000 ounces gold.

- Good preliminary metallurgical recoveries of >90% zinc, >75% lead, >80% gold, >70% silver and >70% copper.

- Previous drilling highlights (ASX Announcement 15th February 2016) include:

Dry Creek

o 4.6m @ 23.5% Zn, 531g/t Ag, 8.5% Pb, 1.5g/t Au & 1.0% Cu from 6.1m

o 5.5m @ 25.9% Zn, 346g/t Ag, 11.7% Pb, 2.5g/t Au & 0.9% Cu from 69.5m

o 7.1m @ 15.1% Zn, 334g/t Ag, 6.8% Pb, 0.9g/t Au & 0.3% Cu from39.1m

West Tundra Flats

o 1.3m @ 21.0% Zn, 796g/t Ag,9.2% Pb, 10.2g/t Au & 0.6% Cu from 58.6m

o 3.0m @ 7.3% Zn, 796g/t Ag, 4.3% Pb, 1.1g/t Au & 0.2% Cu from160.9m

o 1.7m @ 11.4% Zn, 372g/t Ag, 6.0% Pb, 1.7g/t Au & 0.2% Cu from 104.3m

- VMS deposits typically occur in clusters ("VMS camps"). Deposit sizes within camps typically follow a log normal distribution, and deposits within camps typically occur at regular spacing. The known deposits at Dry Creek and West Tundra Flats provide valuable information with which to vector and target additional new deposits within the Red Mountain camp.

- Interpretation of the geologic setting indicates conditions that enhance the prospectivity for gold-rich mineralisation within the VMS system at Red Mountain. Gold mineralisation is usually found at the top of VMS base metal deposits or adjacent in the overlying sediments. Gold bearing host rocks are commonly not enriched in base metals and consequently often missed during early exploration sampling. This provides an exciting opportunity for potential further discoveries at Red Mountain.

- White Rock sees significant discovery potential, given the lack of modern day exploration at Red Mountain. This is further enhanced by the very nature of VMS clustering in camps, and the potentially large areas over which these can occur.

Introduction

The QuarkChain Network is an innovative permissionless blockchain architecture that aims to meet global commercial standards. It provides a secure, decentralized, and scalable blockchain solution to deliver 100,000+ on-chain TPS. The main features of the QuarkChain Network are:

- Reshardable two-layered blockchain: the QuarkChain Network consists of two layers of blockchains. Elastic sharding blockchains (shards) are applied as the first layer, and a root blockchain as the second layer that confirms the blocks from the first layer. The first layer is flexible to be resharded as needed without changing the root layer.

- Guaranteed security by market-driven collaborative mining: To ensure the security of all transactions, a game-theoretic framework is designed for incentives, where at least 50% of overall hash powers are allocated to the root chain to prevent double-spend attacks on any transactions.

- Anti-centralized horizontal scalability: In any blockchain network with a high TPS, a super-full node can be extremely expensive, which encourages centralization. In contrast, the QuarkChain Network allows multiple cheap nodes to form a cluster that has the ability to replace a super-full node.

- Efficient cross-shard transactions: Cross-shard transactions in the QuarkChain Network can be issued at any time, and confirmed in minutes. The speed of cross-shard transactions increases linearly as the number of shards increases.

- Simple account management: There is only one account needed for the entire blockchains (shards) in the QuarkChain Network. All cryptocurrencies from different shards are stored in one smart wallet.

- Turing-complete smart contract platform: the QuarkChain Network supports Turing-complete smart contracts and has adopted the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to allow for easy migration of existing EVM decentralized Apps onto the platform of the QuarkChain Network.

Carnarvon Petroleum Limited (ASX:CVN) Dorado-1 Drilling Commenced

$
0
0
Carnarvon Petroleum Limited ("Carnarvon") (ASX:CVN) (OTCMKTS:CVONF) is pleased to provide the following update on the commencement of drilling at the Dorado-1 well.

Highlights

- Drilling of the Dorado-1 well has now commenced

- Currently preparing to drill the 17-1/2" section of the hole

- Significant 125 million barrels of oil equivalent (gross, Pmean) being targeted

Progress

Since arriving on site, the rig successfully completed the ready to operate process, drilled the 36" conductor hole, running and cementing the 30" surface casing and preparing to drill the 17-1/2" section.

Forward Plan

The rig will drill the 17-1/2" hole to the planned section depth of approximately 1,175metres MD followed by setting the 13-3/8" casing.

Well Objective

The primary objective for the Dorado-1 well is to assess the gas and liquids potential in the Caley Member with the well being less than 20km from and updip of the successful Roc-1 and Roc-2 wells.

The Dorado structure at the Caley interval is estimated to contain a gross mean recoverable prospective resource of 545 Bscf of gas and 30 million barrels of associated condensate (being 125 million barrels of oil equivalent ("boe"), gross, Pmean). Multiple secondary targets have been identified by Carnarvon in the Crispin and Milne Members (see Figure 4 in link below) and these will also be assessed by the Dorado-1 exploration well. See the recently released volumetric strategy update (ASX 23 April 2018) for details on these targets.

Prospective Resources are the estimated quantities of petroleum that may potentially be recovered by the application of a future development project and may relate to undiscovered accumulations. These prospective resource estimates have an associated risk of discovery and risk of development. Further exploration and appraisal (including this well) is required to determine the existence of a significant quantity of potentially moveable hydrocarbons.

FINANCE VIDEO: Superior Lake Resources Ltd (ASX:SUP) Developing Canada's Highest Grade Zinc Project

$
0
0
Superior Lake Resources (ASX:SUP) recently acquired the Superior Lake zinc project in Canada. It was the country's highest-grade zinc operation (3.5 Mt at 14% Zn, 1% Cu) for a decade before closing in 1998 as a result of ongoing low zinc prices. Any exploration work since has been limited, due to the continued low zinc price and the project's fragmented ownership.

Why is this asset now viable? The zinc price, now at near-record highs, is expected to remain that way for some time. With no exploration at the project in 20 years, its potential seems excellent. Additionally, existing infrastructure (mine development, roads, power, water and workforce) at the mine should reduce future development capital costs.

What work has been completed recently? SUP acquired the project in early 2018 and has since been reviewing and verifying historic data. That has seen the release of exceptionally high-grade results within the unmined region of the deposit, including the following.

- UP-147: 33.2 m @ 18.77% Zn, 2.26% Cu

- UP-149: 10.5 m @ 24.8% Zn, 1.33% Cu

- UP-148: 15.8 m @ 30.05% Zn, 1.91% Cu

Valuation catalysts: the company will release a number of key announcements in coming months that should shape the future of the project. They include the following.

- Initial JORC Resource - 2Q18

- Identification of priority drill targets/3D geological model - 3Q18

- Commencement of an exploration drill program (first for 20 years) - 3Q18

- Initial capital estimates - 2H18

- Development study - 1H19

- Construction decision - 2H19

Analyst comments: the upcoming JORC resource is likely to confirm the Superior Lake zinc project as the highest-grade zinc asset on the ASX. Based on the historic resource and drill results, we expect the resource grade to be around 14% Zn and 18% Zn Eq, once by-products are accounted for. To put this grade into perspective, it equates to a gold grade of around 13 g/t Au (FM estimate - gold price US$1,300).

Post the release of the JORC resource (which is imminent) the first significant exploration program in more than 20 years will commence, including the first drill program. Initially, we anticipate that targets will focus around potential extensions to the resource areas, given these will be the easiest to convert to additional resources and hence extend the project's mine life.

In addition to drilling, SUP plans to use downhole electromagnetics (EM) for, we understand, the first time at the project. EM has been used with great success at volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) ore deposits (such as those at Superior Lake) to identify additional mineralized zones or lenses. SUP non-executive director Peter Williams has vast experience in this area, having been heavily involved in the development and success of Independence Group and, more specifically, the discovery of the McLeay nickel sulphide deposit (Long nickel mine) at Kambalda, in which downhole EM played a major role. We believe the discovery of additional lenses at Superior Lake is likely to result in a significant share price re-rating.

Coinciding with the exploration program, SUP plans to release initial capital costs for project development. We see this as a critical step in the long-term development of the Superior Lake project, as it will give an indication of the future production profile.

Argent Minerals Limited (ASX:ARD) Significant Kempfield Exploration Target Revision

$
0
0
Argent Minerals Limited (ASX:ARD), (Argent, or the Company) is pleased to report a significant upward revision to the Kempfield Exploration Target estimate, which the Company believes opens up a new potential development scenario as a large scale zinc-silver-lead-gold project.

Highlights:

- Significant potential identified in addition to the 100 million ounce Ag Eq at 120 g/t Ag Eq / 520,000 tonnes Zn Eq at 2.0% Zn Eq Kempfield Mineral Resource contained metals estimate announced 30 May 2018.

- New development scenario potential: major zinc-silver-lead-gold project situated in large scale mining growth neighbourhood.

- Significant upward revision to the Kempfield Exploration Target estimate for additional potential mineralisation incorporates the April 2018 metallurgical breakthrough results and updated metals pricing:

o Additional 58 to 190 million ounces Ag Eq at 80 to 130 g/t Ag Eq contained silver equivalent - approximately double the previous, and significantly higher Ag Eq grade;

o Additional 300,000 to 1 million tonnes Zn Eq at 1.3 - 2.1% Zn Eq contained zinc equivalent - newly reported for the Kempfield project.

An Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting where the statement or estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade, relates to mineralisation for which there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate an additional Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of an additional Mineral Resource.

A significant Kempfield Mineral Resource update was announced on 30 May 2018: 100 million contained silver equivalent (Ag Eq) ounces at 120 g/t Ag Eq / 520,000 tonnes contained zinc equivalent (Zn Eq) at 2.0% Zn Eq.

The Company has revised Exploration Target estimate for additional mineralisation potential to:

- 58 - 190 million ounces Ag Eq at 80 - 130 g/t Ag Eq contained silver equivalent; or

- 300,000 - 1 million tonnes Zn Eq at 1.3 - 2.1% Zn Eq contained zinc equivalent - new for the deposit.

The substantial Exploration Target revision is a direct result of the successful separation of the primary feed material into potentially marketable commercial grade zinc and lead concentrates, which also contain silver and gold.

The Exploration Target has been re-estimated to incorporate the impact of the metallurgical breakthroughs and updated market pricing on the basis of the new contained metals equivalence formula and primary material cut-off grade announced on 30 May 2018.

LARGE SCALE PROJECT POTENTIAL

New potential development scenario for Kempfield

The following map (see link below) illustrates the new potential development scale of the Kempfield project in the context of the immediate large scale mining growth neighbourhood and the underlying highly prospective geology that hosts some of the largest mining projects in Australia.

EXPLORATION AND RESOURCE INFILL DRILLING PROGRAMMES

Argent has recently completed a reassessment of the planned drilling programmes in view of the commercial impact of the recent metallurgical breakthroughs and current metals pricing.

The Company has revised the initial drill programme and is currently expediting Stage 1 from planning through to execution. In addition to hole design, the process has required field checking of hole collar positions and detailed environmental impact assessment, as well as the management of land access matters related to drilling planned outside Argent's freehold land.

The finalised regulatory document will be submitted shortly to the NSW Government Department of Planning and Environment for approval.

The drilling programme schedule has been revised as follows:

- Stage 1 - Mineralisation and genetic model verification - comprising approximately 4,100 metres of drilling, targeting completion before the end of CY 2018(see Note below).

- Stage 2 - Resource category drilling. Further resource infill drilling will be conducted to a level sufficient to estimate an additional mineral resource, if any, initially to Inferred category (contingent on satisfactory results from Stage 1). Stage 2 timing is envisaged to be completed during CY 2019(see Note below). Further infill drilling may be conducted by the Company in order to estimate Indicated and Measured categories ahead of potential Ore Reserve assessments, subject to the results of this stage, including a reassessment of the project economics.

Note: The indicated timings are subject to the completion of heritage surveys where applicable, the timely finalisation of land access matters, the completion of regulatory approvals and statutory notice periods, weather, as well as all and any other operational factors that could affect the ability of the Company to perform drilling.

Further details are provided in the following appendices of this announcement (see link below):

Central Petroleum Limited (ASX:CTP) Strengthens Management Team

$

0
As Central Petroleum Limited (ASX:CTP) ("Company" or "Central") enters its growth phase with the Northern Gas Pipeline ("NGP") becoming operational in December, the Company has significantly strengthened its management capabilities and taken the opportunity to have an orderly succession plan. The Company believes a successful Drilling Programme will open up the next phase of the Company's development and needs to start planning for that outcome.

This calendar year, the Company has two overriding priorities, namely:

1. Tripling sales revenue next year

This requires the Company to reopen Palm Valley and upgrade plant facilities across its fields in time for the NGP and come in under the allocated capital of $15 million (inclusive of Palm Valley nett to Central).

2. Three horizontal wells

An underbalanced deviated well with air mist is being drilled at each of Palm Valley and Mereenie and another well at Ooraminna. These wells may open up untapped potential on all three fields at a time of a national gas shortage.

Central has promoted Mike Herrington to the role of President - Operations and Chief Development Officer with the position overseeing the drilling and subsurface activities. This provides continuity of the present with a focus on the future. Ross Evans (short bio attached) has been appointed Chief Operations Officer with oversight of both projects and operations and will become a member of the management committee effective immediately. The Company intends to appoint a General Manager Operations shortly.

In addition, the Company has appointed Robin Polson (short bio attached) as Chief Commercial Officer and a member of the management committee. Following the collapse in oil price, the Company had merged this role with the Chief Financial Officer's. With the national gas shortage and the opening up of a myriad of sales and business opportunities with the advent of the NGP, Robin will be tasked with optimising those opportunities.

Mike and Robin will concentrate on the next phase of the Company's growth aimed at doubling its gas production again by 2022.

The Board has reached agreement with the Managing Director Richard Cottee to extend his tenure for a further two years with details to be released when all documentation has been finalised. The Board intends to renew Mike Herrington's and Leon Devaney's contract sequentially, ensuring that in any 12 month period only one of those contracts is up for renewal.

Central welcomes these new employees at such a critical and exciting time for the Company.

Ross Evans

Ross Evans has been appointed Chief Operations Officer with oversight of both projects and operations and will become a member of the management committee effective immediately. Mr Evans was recently Executive General Manager for Exploration & Development for Lattice Energy, the upstream business divested by Origin. Prior to that Ross held various senior roles with Origin where he was instrumental in the rapid growth of Origin's upstream business and the successful delivery of the APLNG Coal Seam Gas to LNG project in Queensland. Mr Evans brings to Central more than 20 years' experience diversified upstream industry experience particularly in Queensland and the Northern Territory, and holds a number of qualifications including a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Queensland and an MBA from the University of NSW.

Robin Polson

Robin joined Central Petroleum Limited after most recently 15 years as a financial advisory partner at Deloitte. At Deloitte and previously PricewaterhouseCoopers he has more than 27 years professional experience within the audit, advisory and valuation and strategy professional practices. He has a further three years M&A experience as a director of an investment bank. He regularly advised resource companies and government around issues relevant to the resources industry. Robin has deep experience advising the oil and gas industry in Australia and internationally, including: the preparation of numerous independent expert reports and other strategic advice in respect of most of the significant Australia East Coast on market and other corporate transactions since 2003, the Queensland Government Gas Demand and Supply Action Plan and assisting the Queensland coal seam gas to LNG players in their representations to the Queensland Government (through APPEA) around the approach to calculating and providing Financial Assurance in respect of environmental disturbance. Robin has a Bachelor of Commerce and a Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment. He is a member of the Queensland Exploration Council Executive and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

Carnarvon Petroleum Limited (ASX:CVN) Shareholder Update

$
0
0
Carnarvon Petroleum ("Carnarvon" or "the company") (ASX:CVN) (OTCMKTS:CVONF) is pleased to provide shareholders with this update on projects and progress.

Highlights

- Successful capital raising of $20 million giving total cash of $65 million to fund drilling and material value generating opportunities

- Buffalo-10 well on track for 2019 drilling

- Phoenix South-3 well drilling at ~4,619 metres toward its ~5,360 metre (MD) target

- Dorado-1 well has just commenced drilling

The Company recently completed a $20 million capital raising (placement and SPP). The raising strengthened the Company's total cash position to $65 million. The funds were raised to enable the Company to pursue drilling of the Buffalo-10 well with the maximum equity possible and to progress activity across other Carnarvon permits.

- Carnarvon carefully assessed farming out Buffalo project equity and determined the small capital raising was the most value accretive over the longer term;

- The raise was timed to leverage news flow as an investment catalyst;

The Buffalo project is a high value, low risk and low cost asset. It is a rare opportunity that is ideally suited to Carnarvon at its current stage and size.

- There are a number of options to develop and fund the project which adds to its appeal;

- The Company's recent capital raising de-risks the well cost funding and gives the Company far more certainty in terms of controlling the future of this project;

- It also ensures the Company's ability to leverage the best commercial outcomes on the project;

- Current plans are to drill the well in 2019 then move to oil production around 18 to 30 months later (timing dependent on factors such as approvals and rig availability);

- On current resource estimates (2C of 31 mmbls) and oil prices, the project is material to Carnarvon shareholders. The project would generate over US$2.3 billion in revenue and with an expected development cost of less than $150 million and a simple low cost floating production system, the project is expected to have a very high profit margin;

- Carnarvon owns 100% of this oil field redevelopment project.

Carnarvon is also progressing another significant, organically generated project that is nearing commercial validation. Having successfully proved the existence of a working petroleum system from the first four wells, the current two Phoenix project wells are seeking to confirm commerciality.

- Positive well results in either the Phoenix South-3 or Dorado-1 wells that are drilling now will provide Carnarvon with numerous commercialisation options, including reducing equity in the project to reallocate the funds to other project opportunities, such as the Buffalo project, in order to generate greater value for shareholders;

- This is a rare strategic asset given its volume potential, dual income stream source in gas and oil, and location in shallow water of around 100 metres;

- Also appealing is the close proximity of the asset to the mining town of Port Hedland approximately 150km away, with resident gas pipeline infrastructure;

- WA is forecast to have a gas shortfall around the time Phoenix is predicted to come into production, making the project especially appealing to oil and gas companies and industry.

More broadly, Carnarvon has been one of the most active exploration companies on the North West Shelf during the industry down turn that commenced in 2014:

- Five successful wells being drilled, including a significant flow test from the Roc-2 well;

- 3D and 2D seismic acquired over the 22,000 square kilometre Phoenix project acreage; and

- 11 new exploration permits acquired.

These counter cyclical initiatives mean Carnarvon benefited from the low cost and low competitive environment and now has a broad portfolio of assets that it will seek to create value from as industry sentiment strengthens on recently improving oil prices.

Carnarvon CEO, Adrian Cook said the company's model of "taking ideas to value" was now well proven with pleasing progress on both the Buffalo and Phoenix projects.

"During the down cycle in the oil price, Carnarvon focused on actively acquiring new projects," Mr Cook said.

"We are now progressing those and while Phoenix and Buffalo remain our near term focus, the next levels of project value are already being matured."

Mr Cook said the immediate focus was to progress Carnarvon's assets towards the most positive commercial outcomes.

"We are working with all relevant stakeholders to ensure efficient and expedient progress," he said.

"The Company looks forward to providing shareholders with more positive news in the coming months."

About Buffalo Redevelopment Project

Carnarvon was awarded the WA-523-P acreage in May 2016 for an initial six-year term which included the previously developed Buffalo field. The Field was discovered by BHP in 1996 and subsequently developed using four wells drilled from a small, unmanned wellhead platform installed in 25 metres water depth, tied back to an FPSO. Production commenced in December 1999 at production rates up to approximately 50,000stb/d and terminated in November 2004 after the production of 20.5MMstb of highly-undersaturated, light oil (53degAPI) from the Jurassic-age Elang Formation. All existing facilities and wells were decommissioned and removed prior to Carnarvon being awarded the block.

Carnarvon initially focussed its technical work on reprocessing of the 3D seismic dataset using state-of-the-art full waveform inversion (FWI) technology. This work supports the interpretation of a significant attic oil accumulation remaining after the original development, based on sub-optimal positioning of early wells using poorly processed seismic data. Reservoir modelling has been conducted using latest structural interpretation and available well data, including an extensive history-matching effort to calibrate model/well performance to production rates and watercut development (governed by strong aquifer drive) observed during the original production period.

Based on this work, independently audited volumetric estimates of contingent resources in the Buffalo oil field are 31.1 million barrels (2C) with high and low estimates of 15.3 million barrels (1C) and 47.8 million barrels (3C) - Refer to Carnarvon Petroleum's ASX announcement on 28 August 2017.

Lithium Power International Limited (ASX:LPI) (OTCMKTS:LTHHF) ("LPI" or "the Company") has entered into a term sheet with its joint venture partner, Minera Salar Blanco SpA ("Minera Blanco"), to acquire a further 1.35% of the shares in the Maricunga Joint Venture Company, Minera Salar Blanco S.A. ("MSB").(see Note below)

Highlights

- LPI enters agreement to increase its ownership to 51.35% of Minera Salar Blanco S.A. ("MSB").

- LPI strengthens its board by appointing MSB's Director and significant shareholder, Mr Martin Borda and MSB's CEO, Mr Cristobal Garcia-Huidobro as Non-Executive Directors.

- These agreements tighten strategic and operational alignment with the Chilean partners of the Maricunga Lithium Brine Project.

The transaction will take LPI's ownership of MSB to 51.35%, for a cash purchase price of A$2.03m. This will be paid from the Company's existing cash reserves. Post transaction, LPI will retain cash reserves of around A$22m with a further US$7m held by MSB.

On completion, LPI's interest in MSB will increase to 51.35%; Minera Blanco's interest will decrease to 30.98%; and Bearings Inc.'s ("Bearings") interest will remain unchanged at 17.67%.

The acquisition is subject to:

- each party obtaining all necessary corporate authorisations and approvals, along with the execution and completion of binding transaction documentation by 1 August 2018; and

- a pre-emptive right held by Bearings to acquire its pro rata share of the sale shares.

If Bearings exercises its right, it will acquire approximately 0.35% of the 1.35% interest being sold. This would give LPI an interest of 51% in MSB; Minera Blanco 30.98%; and Bearings 18.02%.

The transaction is further evidence of the strategic alignment between LPI and Minera Blanco on all matters relating to the governance and operations of MSB and the overall development of the Maricunga Lithium Brine Project.

LPI will also further strengthen its Board of Directors. The Company is pleased to welcome, upon completion of the transaction, two new Chilean directors, Mr Martin Borda, President and major shareholder of Minera Blanco, and Mr Cristobal Garcia-Huidobro, the CEO of MSB. Short biographies are set out below.

Mr Borda is also a substantial shareholder in LPI, with approximately 6.14% shareholding in the Company.

LPI's Chairman, Mr David Hannon said: "The acquisition of this extra ownership interest of MSB makes LPI the majority shareholder of MSB as we near completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study for the Maricunga Lithium Brine Project in 2018 and the finalisation of the permitting process. "

"We are delighted to welcome Mr Borda and Mr Garcia-Huidobro to the LPI Board on completion of the transaction and look forward to further aligning the strategic and operational focus of the Maricunga Joint Venture."

Mr Hannon added: "Our sincere thanks go to LPI Non-Executive Director, Mr Ricky Fertig, who also serves as President of MSB and Martin Borda, who have developed a constructive relationship during the past three years. By working together to facilitate this transaction, they have further strengthened the relationship between LPI and Minera Blanco for the benefit of the Maricunga Joint Venture."

Martin Borda biography

Mr Borda is MSB's founding shareholder and board member and has more than 40 years' industrial and commercial experience across the banking and food and consumer products sectors. Mr. Borda is a board member and founding shareholder of Multiexport Foods, one of the largest salmon farming companies in the world, and a board member of Molinera San Cristobal, a milling company. He also served as a board member for Scotiabank in Chile for more than 10 years. Mr. Borda has a B.A. from the Roosevelt University of Chicago.

Cristobal Garcia-Huidobro biography

Mr Garcia-Huidobro is MSB's CEO and a board member and has more than 18 years' experience on the development and financing of mining, energy, infrastructure, and property projects in North & South America. Mr Garcia-Huidobro was formerly Chief Investment Officer of investment company CENTINELA, and board member of a number of mining, energy and property companies, as well as member of the investment committees of numerous investment funds operating in these sectors. Mr. García-Huidobro is a Civil Engineer from the Universidad Católica of Chile and holds an M&A certificate from the Chicago University.

Note: the difference between a SpA registered company and a S.A registered company in Chile is similar to the difference between a Pty Ltd registered company and a Limited registered company in Australia.

Kingston Resources Limited (ASX:KSN) (Kingston or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on drilling progress at the Misima Gold Project. The major diamond drilling campaign is targeting extensions to the existing 2.8Moz gold resource and drill-testing of newly discovered exploration targets at Umuna East Side. Kingston's program of 10,000m this year is the first gold exploration drilling on Misima for more than 15 years.

Highlights

- Diamond drilling program on schedule for 10,000m in 2018

- Dispatch of samples to commence shortly

- Initial results anticipated in Q3

Drilling is progressing well, with the diamond rig achieving budgeted daily metres. Samples will soon begin to be dispatched to Lae for analysis with results anticipated next quarter. Relationships with local land owners and the broader community on Misima are excellent, and the Company enjoys the full support of the local people as it works towards its goal of ultimately recommencing mining operations on the island. Particular focus has been placed on hiring local employees for the Kingston and drill contractor's workforce. This has resulted in the current workforce being made up of more than 80% local Misimans, and more than 90% Papua New Guinea residents overall.

Kingston MD Andrew Corbett commented "The Kingston team on Misima continues to impress with mobilising a major drilling campaign on Misima with no safety incidents and full support from the local landowning groups. Alongside the drilling program, field work continues to advance a number of additional exploration targets outside the current resource. It is also extremely pleasing to see the impact Kingston is having on the ground first hand through local employment and reinvestment into the local community."
