MNF Group (ASX:MNF) today announced the significant expansion of its global TNZI operation by successfully opening a new Point of Presence (PoP) facility in Hong Kong. The new PoP makes TNZI a carrier of choice for European and US telcos seeking to expand in the fast-growing Asia Pacific market.

"The Hong Kong PoP completes MNF Group's global network ring and will ensure we are well placed to grow our business in the lucrative Asian region," said Rene Sugo, CEO of MNF Group.

"Several of the largest global telecommunication corporations are already set to take advantage of the Group's Hong Kong PoP facility, including PCCW Global, SoftBank Corp, M800 and NTT Communications. Operators will also benefit from more interconnect options, increased diversity within the core network and new traffic route options that will drive call quality and cost efficiency," Sugo added.

Emerging new-generation call providers in the region will also benefit from MNF Group's vast array of specialised voice capabilities, enabling them to deliver additional features and value for their end-users.

"MNF Group aims for TNZI to become the 'go to' carrier for those providers who are looking to innovate in the voice communications space. Our investment in this new Hong Kong PoP will allow us to compete more effectively for a larger share of the enormous Asian market and ensure our global voice network is able to carry the growing volume of traffic on direct routes between Asia, Europe, the Americas and ANZ," Mr Sugo said.

The launch of the Hong Kong PoP facility follows TNZI being granted the Services-Based Operator Licence for provision of external telecommunications services (ETS) by the Office of the Communications Authority in Hong Kong. Prior steps in building the global network ring included the upgrade of MNF Group's London and Los Angeles PoPs.

Business Outlook and Guidance

MNF Group is re-iterating its earlier guidance from October 2016, where it is targeting organic EBITDA growth in the current financial year of 25% to $22.3m and NPAT growth of 22% to $11.0m. The company is on track with these budget estimates and will provide further updates in February 2017 with the half year result.

0
Traditional Therapy Clinics Limited (ASX:TTC) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fuqiao (Chongqing) Holdings Co. Limited, has entered into contract to acquire a new clinic from its franchised clinic base in line with a key element of the business strategy which is to grow its owned clinic network and increase revenues and profit. The signing of the contract to acquire a new clinic takes the number of clinics acquired by TTC, since listing on the ASX in September 2015, to 12 and the total number of owned clinics to 23. In addition, TTC has signed 38 new franchise agreements for the period from 1 January 2016 to 5 Dec 2016. TTC is also in the final stages of due diligence and negotiation for the acquisition of further clinics.

The purchase price for the new clinic will be paid in cash by TTC and totals RMB 6.8 million which equates to AUD 1.32 million at an exchange rate of 5.16(AUD:RMB). The total purchase price represents an average EBITDA multiple of 3.2 based on the clinic's earnings in the 2016 financial year.

In China, Guizhou Province has the largest number of TTC clinics. The newly acquired clinic is located in the city of Longli in the Guizhou Province and is TTC's 1st self-owned clinic in Guizhou. TTC is focused on building on its established market position and expanding its owned clinic network in key strategic areas of its business coverage. Settlement of the acquisition is expected to be complete during Jan 2017. The total number of franchised and owned clinics and new franchise licences granted and clinics acquired by TTC during 2015 and 2016 calendar years is shown in the link below:

TTC's Growth Strategy

TTC's multi-pronged growth strategy includes focusing on:

- Growing its number of franchised clinics; and

- Expanding its owned clinic network through the acquisition of existing clinics (from third parties or franchisees) or developing greenfield owned clinics in suitable locations.

The "owned clinic" model is one key focus of the company given the ability to generate a greater return on investment and its added advantage of assisting with projecting TTC's brand and further demonstrating the high standards of quality and service within the TTC network.

Emmerson Resources Limited (ASX:ERM) High Grade Gold Continues at Tennant Creek

$

Emmerson Resources Limited (ASX:ERM) (OTCMKTS:EMMRF) ("Emmerson") is pleased to announce further assays from the 6,500m drilling campaign at their Edna Beryl project in the Northern Territory of Australia (see Figure 1, 2 and table 1 in the link below). Both diamond and RC drilling has now been completed at Edna Beryl and weather permitting, the RC rig will move to the Retsina prospect.

- Second batch of results from Campaign 3 at Edna Beryl returns intersections:

-- 5m at 83.6g/t gold and 3.1g/t silver from 89m(GRED42A) including;

--- 3m at 127g/t gold, 5.0g/t silver from 89m

--- 2m at 123g/t gold, 5.0g/t silver from 90m

--- 1m at 337g/t gold, 8.86g/t silver from 91m

-- 4.3m at 24.6g/t gold and 3g/t silver from 249m (EBWDD031) including;

--- 2m at 51.7g/t gold, 5.25g/t silver from 249m

--- 1m at 102g/t gold, 10.1g/t silver from 250m

-- 2m at 13.6/t gold and 2.09 g/t Ag from 73m (EBWRC034) including;

--- 1m at 23.4g/t gold and 3.22g/t Ag from 74m

- Further results from Edna Beryl expected in mid-December

- Drilling to commence on the Retsina prospect shortly

- All exploration is fully funded by the Farm-in and Joint Venture with Evolution Mining

The RC results reported are 1m samples and the DDH results are 1/2 NQ diamond core samples, which support the previous gold intersections from Campaign's 1, 2 and 3 at Edna Beryl (ASX 31 October 2016) (refer the link below).

Drill holes GRED42A and EBWRC034 are development drilling ahead of mining at Edna Beryl and where both the sinking of the haulage and ventilation shafts continues. First ore is anticipated in early 2017. These bonanza high grade gold intersections confirm the very positive outlook for not only the tribute mining at Edna Beryl and future risk-free cash for Emmerson, but also auger well for the discovery of similar supergene gold within the broader Edna Beryl project.

Diamond drill hole EBWDD031 confirms the continuation of high grade gold at depth with the intersection of free gold in Ironstone 1 (formerly called EB Deeps). This 6m of brecciated ironstone contains free disseminated gold that occurs with hematite, chlorite and locally minor pyrite-chalcopyrite. Assay results of 4.3m at 24.6g/t gold, include outstanding intercepts of 2m at 51.7g/t gold and 1m at 102g/t gold - attesting to the high grade nature of the primary gold mineralisation at Edna Beryl.

Managing Director of Emmerson Resources Rob Bills commented: "These recent intersections again demonstrate the high grade nature of both the supergene and primary gold at Edna Beryl and potential for the discovery of further new ironstones. Particularly as the drill density in comparison to some of the historic mines such as Nobles Nob is still very low - in fact reconstructing the discovery history at Nobles Nob (the highest grade gold mine in Australia at that time) indicates that fan drilling from the underground development was instrumental in not only defining the resource but also in providing better statistical representation of these incredibly high grade, supergene ore surfaces.....something that we could contemplate once the Edna Beryl small mine development is completed."

The drilling campaigns at Edna Beryl continue to build on our geological and structural understanding, where numerous shallow, sub-parallel ironstones are bounded by steeply dipping shear zones (Ironstones 2, 3 & 4). The most recent drilling has indicated great potential for some of these ironstones to persist at depth but further drilling will be required to test and define the extent of mineralisation, particularly as EBWRC041 - 8m at 157g/t gold (ASX 31 October 2016) was the first indication of bonanza gold within ironstone 3.

The high grade gold mineralisation at Edna Beryl is very typical of the Tennant Creek Mineral Field however this style of predominantly hematite associated gold has gone virtually undetected by previous explorers. This is Emmerson's third discovery of this style and opens up the entire field to a new generation of deposits that are hosted by non to weakly magnetic hematite ironstones.

The approaching Northern Territory wet season provides an opportunity to compile and review the extensive data collected from these drill programs, including downhole televiewer logs of structure, magnetic susceptibility, density and natural gamma logs -which in conjunction with the diamond drill holes will allow refinement of our 3D geological and mineralisation model, ahead of the next round of drilling in early 2017.

The last prospect for drill testing in this campaign is Retsina, which occurs in an analogous structural setting to Edna Beryl (see figure 1 in the link below). Of interest at Retsina is the presence of brecciated hematite ironstone at surface which returned a "near ore" geochemical signature - whilst it is early days in terms of testing the efficacy of this proprietary geochemical discriminant tool, the data so far indicates the possibility of distinguishing barren from gold fertile hematite ironstones. If successful, this technique will greatly increase our success rate in discovering this new generation of hematite hosted gold deposits.

About Tennant Creek and Emmerson Resources

The Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF) is one of Australia's highest grade gold and copper fields producing over 5.5 Mozs of gold and 470,000 tonnes of copper from a variety of deposits including Gecko, Orlando, Warrego, White Devil, Chariot and Golden Forty, all of which are within Emmerson Resources (ASX:ERM) exploration and joint venture portfolio. These deposits are considered to be highly valuable exploration targets and, utilising modern exploration techniques, Emmerson has been successful in discovering copper and gold mineralisation at Goanna and Monitor in late 2011, the first discoveries in the TCMF for over a decade. To date, Emmerson has only covered 5.5% of the total tenement package (in area) with these innovative exploration techniques and is confident that, with further exploration, more such discoveries will be made.

Emmerson holds 2,500km2 of ground in the TCMF, owns the only gold mill in the region and holds a substantial geological database plus extensive infrastructure and equipment. Emmerson has consolidated 95% of the highly prospective TCMF where only 8% of the historical drilling has penetrated below 150m.

Emmerson is led by a board and management group of experienced Australian mining executives including former MIM and WMC mining executive Andrew McIlwain as non-executive chairman, and former senior BHP Billiton and WMC executive Rob Bills as Managing Director and CEO.

Pursuant to the Farm-in agreement entered into with Evolution Mining Limited (Evolution) on 11 June 2014, Evolution is continuing to sole fund exploration expenditure of $15 million over three years to earn a 65% interest (Stage 1 Farm-in) in Emmerson's tenement holdings in the TCMF. An option to spend a further $10 million minimum, sole funded by Evolution over two years following the Stage 1 Farm-in, would enable Evolution to earn an additional 10% (Stage 2 Farm-in) of the tenement holdings. Emmerson is acting as manager during the Stage 1 Farm-in and is receiving a management fee during this period. Exploration expenditure attributable to the Stage 1 Farm-in to date is approximately $11 million.

About Evolution Mining

Evolution Mining is a leading, growth-focussed Australian gold miner. Evolution operates six wholly-owned mines - Cowal in New South Wales; Mt Carlton, Mt Rawdon, and Cracow, in Queensland; and Mungari and Edna May in Western Australia. In addition Evolution holds an economic interest in Ernest Henry, in Queensland, that will deliver 100% of future gold and 30% of future copper and silver produced from an agreed life of mine area. Outside of the life of mine area Evolution will have a 49% interest in future copper, gold and silver production from Ernest Henry.

In FY16 Evolution produced 803,476 ounces of gold at an AISC of A$1,014 per ounce generating a net mine cash flow of A$428.2 million.

Evolution is forecasting Group gold production in FY17 of 800,000 - 860,000 ounces at an AISC of A$900 - A$960 per ounce.

About Edna Beryl Mineralisation

Edna Beryl was discovered by prospectors in 1935 and mined underground in the 1940s and 1950s to a maximum depth of approximately 50 metres. Production up until 1952 was reportedly 2,700t of ore at an exceptional grade of 53g/t gold.

More recent exploration between 1996 and 2000 by Giants Reef Mining outlined additional high-grade gold mineralisation below the historic workings of the Edna Beryl East Mine and resulted in a resource estimate being reported in 1998 by independent consultants in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC:1998). While this estimate does not meet the minimum reporting requirements for a Mineral Resource under the current 2012 JORC Code, Emmerson has decided to monetise this mineralisation via a "small mines" Tribute Agreement with the Edna Beryl Mining company. The Tribute Agreement is constrained to a tight 3D envelope around the mineralisation at the Edna Beryl East Mine (orange and purple colours in Figure 2 in the link below). The Tribute Agreement also contemplates further underground exploration and drilling, however any mineralisation outside of this 3D envelope remains 100% Emmerson.

Peak Asset Management's latest Corporate Opportunity, Lifespot Health Ltd (ASX:LSH), is now live. Bids close Wednesday 10am given exceptional demand. Peak's last three deals (DTZ, CFO, NTI) are up over 100% since listing as at close on Friday, 2 December 2016.

Lifespot Health is focussed on the management and monitoring of chronic diseases (Telehealth is in a hot space right now) and one of (if not the only) globally certified platform that is device agnostic, a huge "unique selling preposition" to the other hardware companies... just think RAP, CMP, MDR, RMD, COH... potentially being able to integrate their devices and grow market share?

The Company already has large paying clients, which include AnyCare and B.BRAUN (a $9BN AUD revenue per year "juggernaut", that is about to "pull the trigger" on a new diabetics device that will integrate with Lifespot's back end), a huge tick.

The management is highly qualified that with a proven track record of delivering shareholder value. Stefan Shraps, Chief Executive Officer of Lifespot Health, was previously the COO for a software & encryption business that he listed on the German Exchange (150x over-subscribed and on day 1, reaching over $1BN EUR market cap) - he certainly knows how to create shareholder value.

"Our technology is already operational in Europe, with existing paying customers including B.Braun, Anycare and TK Pharma", Stefan said.

CLICK HERE to bid for stock http://wiredlifespot.securechkout.com

He describes the BodyTel technology as an "end-to-end" solution for managing chronic diseases. Patients do not need to visit the hospital as analysis can be done in real-time with BodyTel devices. Lifespot Skin is a secondary focus, with technology which has the potential to revolutionise management, monitoring and analyses of skin diseases in a similar way.

Big Data is the play here with a SaaS revenue stream allowing the device companies to create "smart-medically approved devices". The market is valued >$35BN according to Goldman Sachs by 2020...

The business is already cash-flow break even (based on the past few months) and this is without B.BRAUN's SaaS based revenues kicking in 2Q 2017...

Lifespot has large opportunities to scale the business internationally without large CAPEX and potential SaaS based revenues of over 90% gross margins, directly to the bottom line.

Lifespot Health is expected to list on the ASX at $0.20 share price in December 2016. The Company is raising AUD $5M - 8M with an enterprise value (EV) of AUD $6.85M ... at 5x, this is under $60M fully diluted. On listing, it will be trading at an Enterprise Value/Revenue multiple of only 3.4X, cheaper than all its peers. Please note: Lifespot Health is likely to be oversubscribed and you may not receive the full allocation bid for. Final bids are due 10am, Wednesday 7 December.

Please ensure you carefully read the prospectus before submitting your bid.

DroneShield Ltd (ASX:DRO) Top 5 Illegal Ways Drones Get Used

$
0
0
DroneShield Ltd (ASX:DRO) is pleased to provide a post with the title "Top 5 Illegal Ways Drones Get Used". The global consumer drone market is expected to reach US$14 billion by 2023 according to Goldman Sachs research. Since drones are a rapidly expanding, fledging market with an ever-increasing number of drones selling each year, it's hard to nail down exact figures and we may see these numbers grow even faster than experts estimate.

With this surge of drone sales and grey legality of when and where drones can be flown, it stands to reason that the number of instance of illegal drone use will also rise. How do you know if you'll be a target of illegal drone use? Here are the five most common ways drones are used illegally.

1) Terrorism

A Newsweek article from this year is chillingly titled "Terrorist Drone Attacks Are Not an 'If' But 'When'*." There is a real threat of ISIS using hobbyist drones strapped chemicals or explosives to attack civilian populations. Drones have already been used in a variety of applications of the battlefield from filming propaganda videos for ISIS to scouting enemy positions, but the ease of availability, inexpensive models, and the fact that drones are highly portable makes them uniquely positioned to be used in acts of terrorism.

But its not just a threat overseas. Weaponizing drones is easy enough that an 18-year old from Connecticut mounted a semi-automatic handgun to a drone* and put a video of it up on YouTube.

Bombs are also not the only terrorism threat that drones pose. Loading a drone with radioactive or toxic material, and spraying a major city, is on the list of the risks*.

2) Prisons

Drones are the hot new thing to smuggle contraband - drugs, weapons, pornography, cell phones, etc. - into prisons, sometimes right to the prisoner's window*. Of course, smuggling contraband into prisons comes with some hefty fees and a potential jail sentence if caught, but it hasn't stopped a marked rise in this tactic in the last few years.

While there aren't hard numbers on this, it's happening all over the world*. While prisons can simply wait for a drone carrying contraband to drop it to confiscate, it gets a little murkier when the drone is simply doing surveillance, tracking guard changes or taking pictures of the prison grounds itself to gather data to formulate an escape plan.

3) "Plane Watchers"

Drones must be flown at or below 400 feet and unless the traffic control center is contacted, it's illegal to fly a drone with five miles of an airport. These laws are set for very practical reasons - those being that if a drone were to get sucked into a 747 engine, it could end in tragedy (here is the sneak preview of the study of what happens to the engine - The speed of drone debris thrashing about inside the engine could reach speeds 715 miles per hour. Broken blades also would create more fragments as the fan crumbles and warps the engine block housing, contributing to catastrophic engine failure*). However, drones flying too closely to manned aircraft is happening at dangerous levels. According to a report from the FAA*, from August 22, 2015 to January 31, 2016, nearly 600 drones flew too close to airports or airplanes.

These incidents were sometimes taken to a scary level when manned aircraft have been knocked off course or forced to take evasive action to avoid hitting a drone while flying, even at cruising altitudes. A report from Bard College* estimates there have been 28 of these incidents from December 2013 to September 2015.

4) Illegal Surveillance

The question of what constitutes illegal drone surveillance is something countries around the world are grappling with. Sweden recently outlawed* the use of drones equipped with cameras, deeming it illegal surveillance unless the pilot applies for an expensive permit. The FAA guidelines* specify that drones should not be flown over people, stadiums, or large crowds, but drone pilots could also get in trouble for flying over private property where the owners have a reasonable expectation to privacy. In 2014*, California passed a paparazzi drone law to try to protect celebrity children. Meanwhile Kanye West is taking no chances by getting a pack of trained eagles to protect against paparazzi drones*.

Illegal drone surveillance can be on a individual level, like drones flying over celebrity property, but it also happens on a large scale. Sports stadiums have struggled to find a solution to drones hovering over games and taking illegal video footage from the skies, and movie studios are learning to deal* with drones flown by fans trying to predict the plot of the upcoming production.

5) Interfering with First Responders

Drones have quickly become a nuisance and danger to first responders, especially fire fighting pilots. The U.S. Forest Service has recorded 13 wildfires* where drones have interfered with fire-fighting aircraft this year alone. Not only does this put first responders in danger, but it makes it harder for them to be effective and the wildfires could spread. This is such a serious threat that California just recently passed a law* in September that allows first responders to damage or destroy drones that could interfere with emergency responses.

DroneShield provides the world leading drone detection solution combined with DroneGun (where legal for the customer to deploy) - a portable rifle-style jammer, to neutralise the intruding drones. For more information, please go to DroneShield website (http://www.droneshield.com).

Triton Minerals Ltd (ASX:TON) (Triton or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has embarked on the revised strategy set out in the prospectus of 24 October 2016, with a renewed focus on the rapid development potential of the premium quality Ancuabe Graphite Project in Mozambique.

A new-look Triton re-commenced trading today, recapitalised and with a fresh Board and management, following a successful Voluntary Administration process.

Following a strategic review, which highlighted the large flake size distribution and opportunity for potential rapid development, the Company has turned its focus to the evaluation and development of Ancuabe and supply into the high value end of the graphite supply market.

New Triton Managing Director, Mr Peter Canterbury said, it was exciting to be heading a company with strong fundamentals.

"We are now excellently positioned with strong cash levels of approximately $8 million at bank, a supportive substantial shareholder in Shandong Tianye Mining Co Ltd, which is the nominee company of Minjar Gold Pty Ltd, and a very attractive project opportunity, that we believe can deliver significant value to all shareholders."

"The global graphite industry is currently going through a period of historically high growth, underpinned by the rapidly developing battery market for automobiles, solar systems and mobile devices. Preliminary test work at Ancuabe has indicated that approximately 50% of the flake size distribution fits in the extra-large or jumbo flake size category which could allow us to market into the niche and high-value end of the market."

"Even during the Voluntary Administration process we have not been sitting still having commenced a 3,000 metre diamond and 1,800 metre reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme last month. This was part of the overall strategy to focus on, further explore and upgrade, the Ancuabe T12 Mineral Resource classification, and to assess other VTEM targets in the Ancuabe area, to support a decision to undertake a Pre-Feasibility Study."

"Results from the drilling are expected to become available progressively over the coming 3 months commencing in December as a programme of sample assaying, resource modelling and metallurgical test work is undertaken."

"Ancuabe is close to existing infrastructure, including roads, port, airport and power, and we are targeting the development of this highly prospective deposit at a scale suitable to the size of the deposit, the demand from the high-value end of the market and a company of Triton's size."

"We look forward to keeping shareholders updated as we progress over coming months."

Sayona Mining Ltd (ASX:SYA) Phase 2 Resource Expansion/Definition & Exploration Drilling

$
0
0
Sayona Mining Limited (ASX:SYA) (OTCMKTS:DMNXF) ("Sayona" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has lodged the drilling permits for the Phase II resource expansion drilling program at the Authier lithium project, Quebec.

Highlights

- Permits for up to 4,000 metres of new expansion and definition drilling lodged

- Focus on the expansion of the resource following the highly successful drilling program in 2016 which significantly increased the resource and grade

- Drilling to define the size and lithium grade of the recently discovered, high-grade, northern pegmatite

- Exploration drilling to define additional lithium bearing pegmatites outside the existing resource area

The Company believes there is excellent potential to both expand the size of the existing resource and to optimise and improve the existing resource. In addition the company is planning to further expand the total project area resource by drilling the recently discovered lithium pegmatite and undertaking exploration for further mineralised pegmatites.

The Company is planning a diamond drilling program of up to 4,000 metres commencing in early 2017. The mineralisation remains open in all directions (see Figure 1 and 2 in the link below) and follow up drilling is being planned with the objectives, including:

- Defining the mineralised boundaries and lifting the resource categories in the western sector that were not accessible during the 2016 drill program. The 2016 drilling program in the western zone highlighted wide intervals of high grade lithium dioxide including 46m @ 1.26% Li2O from a depth of 190 metres including 24m @ 1.62% Li2O from 190 metres;

- Testing for mineralisation in the eastern and western strike extensions;

- Infill definition drilling within the main resource zone (Infill zone on Figure 1 in the link below) where the mineralisation is not well defined and is currently treated as waste;

- Assessing the resource potential of the new northern pegmatite which intersected 7m @ 1.36% Li20 from 15 metres. Any new mineralisation within the new pegmatite is likely to fall within the main Authier open-cut pit shell and significantly improve the waste to ore ratio in a future operation; and

- Pegmatites generally occur in "swarms" and the company's aim is to locate additional mineralised pegmatites in the area.

The drilling program has been designed with three aims:

- To improve the overall quality and expand on the size of its JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource estimate. The project now has nearly 19,000 metres of diamond drilling in 141 holes. The Company's plan is to increase the size and confidence levels of the resource and to study the merits of an expansion and/or the value adding potential of the project beyond what has been studied in the current Pre-Feasibility Study which is nearing completion (see Figures 1 and 2 in the link below);

- Assess the resource potential of the newly discovered pegmatite (see Figure 2 in the link below); and

- Locate additional lithium mineralised pegmatites

Blackham Resources Ltd (ASX:BLK) Drilling Confirms Wiluna Open Pit Mining Potential

$

0
Blackham Resources Ltd (ASX:BLK) ("Blackham") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the East and West Lodes at Wiluna which were drilled as part of a 25,000m RC and diamond drilling program undertaken to investigate open pit potential at Wiluna and support the mill expansion study. These results follow on from those reported to the ASX on 9th November 2016 and confirm continuity of mineralisation.

Drilling has continued to intersect significant mineralisation along strike, between and beneath the East, West and North pits at shallow depths, highlighting the potential for open pit mining.

Highlights:

- High grade mineralisation intersected at shallow depths

- Continuity of mineralisation over 300m outside current pit

- Discovery of new mineralisation between East and West Lodes; remains open

- Amenable to open pit mining

Significant results include:

- WURC0127: 24m @ 7.73 g/t from 95m & 186 gm

21m @ 1.19g/t from 129m (EOH) 25 gm

- WURC0119: 10m @ 3.51g/t from 65m & 35 gm

13m @ 2.87g/t 37 gm

- WURC0117: 8m @ 2.21g/t from 172m 18 gm

- WURC0125: 14m @ 1.60g/t from 123m 22 gm

Blackham's 100% owned Matilda and Wiluna Gold Operations are located in Australia's largest gold belt. The Wiluna Gold Plant is located in the centre of the combined Operation and can currently process 1.7Mtpa or ~100,000ozpa (Stage 1). The project contains JORC 2012 Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources of 48Mt @ 3.3g/t for 5.1Moz Au (refer to ASX release 27th June 2016) within a 860km2 exploration tenement package which has historically produced in excess of 4.3 million ounces. A mill expansion study (Stage 2), which is exploring the potential to grow production beyond 200,000ozpa, is in progress.

Since the mid 1990's, previous operators at the Wiluna Mine have focused on the underground resources and have not explored the potential of open pit cutbacks. As outlined in a release to the ASX dated 9th November 2016, preliminary mining pit optimisations of mineralisation modelled using underground cut-off grades from only the historical drilling indicate the potential to profitably extract higher grade mineralisation beneath and along strike from existing pits. Pit optimisations based on an A$1,800 gold price indicate that with additional drilling there is the potential to have a single 1.9km long open pit from Bulletin to Happy Jack and deeper pits beneath the existing East and West pits (see Figure 1 in the link below).

Assays have now been received for the remaining holes drilled as part of the open pit and mill expansion study which targeted the East and West Lodes. The East and West Lodes are located within 1.5km of the refurbished Wiluna Gold Plant (see Figure 1 in the link below). Results for the remainder of the drilling program are expected within the next two weeks.

The East and West Lodes at Wiluna have historically produced over 1.5Moz predominately from underground mining. Mineralisation has been intersected below and along strike from the East and West pits (see Figure 2 in the link below) and results to date from the East Lode indicate good continuity of mineralisation between the East and North Pits with an overall strike length in excess of 1.4km.

Historical drilling targeting the West Lode intersected mineralisation between the East and West Lodes including 12m @ 2.9g/t from 124m (including 5m @ 5.4g/t), 25m @ 2.7g/t from 126m (including 10m @ 3.5g/t) and 18m @ 3.3g/t from 106m (including 10m @ 5.1g/t). Many of the historical holes which intersected this central zone were drilled on two sections and limited drilling to the north and south was often only assayed on broad composite intervals. A re-logging and resampling program is currently underway on all available historical holes which are likely to have intersected this structure.

Several holes drilled as part of the current campaign targeted this central lode and have returned significant intercepts including:

- WURC0119: 13m @ 2.87g/t from 90m (including 3m @ 9.38g/t) 37 gm

- WURC0127: 21m @ 1.19g/t from 129m (End of hole) 25 gm

- WURC0117: 8m @ 2.21 g/t from 172m 18 gm

- WURC0091: 13m @ 2.23g/t from 64m (previously reported) 29 gm

- WURC0085: 5m @ 2.41g/t from 141m (previously reported) 12 gm

Due to the limited drill testing of this zone (see Figure 3 in the link below), the orientation of mineralisation is unconfirmed at this stage. However, indications are that this zone may represent a linking structure between the East and West Lodes. Mineralisation in this central zone remains open to the north, south and down dip (see Figure 3 -Figure 5 in the link below). Any mineralisation identified between the East and West lodes is likely to have significant economic impact as it will lower the strip ratio and potentially allow the East and West lodes to be mined within a single pit.

Further significant mineralisation was intersected on the East Lode between the North and East pits enhancing the potential for the pits to be combined.

Better intercepts from the East Lode include:

- WURC0127: 24m @ 7.73 g/t from 95m (including 14m @ 12.5g/t) 186 gm

- WURC0119: 10m @ 3.51 g/t from 65m (including 2m @ 13.2g/t) 35 gm

- WURC0115: 9m @ 1.29 g/t from 282m 12 gm

- WURC0121: 12m @ 1.63 g/t from 32m 20 gm

- WURC0125: 14m @ 1.60 g/t from 123m 22 gm

- WURC0130: 3m @ 7.14 g/t from 140m 21 gm

- WURC0113: 11m @ 1.81 g/t from 169m 20 gm

All intercepts from the holes targeting the East and West lodes are given in Table 1(in the link below).

The Resources at the Matilda and Wiluna Gold Operation currently stand at 48Mt @3.3g/t for 5.1Moz Au (48% indicated) (ASX release 27th June 2016). The Project resources are currently being re-estimated to incorporate this additional drilling.

An update of the East West resource model is nearing completion. Resource estimates are also in the process of being completed at the remaining deposits. There is the potential for a significant reduction in operating costs if sufficient additional open pit resources to justify a mill expansion can be identified.

Gold Resources

The Matilda Gold Project has an updated Mineral Resource of 48Mt @ 3.3g/t for 5.1Moz (48% indicated) all within a 20 kilometres radius of Blackham's 100% owned Wiluna gold plant capable of processing up to 1.7Mtpa for over 100,000ozpa gold production (refer to BLK ASX release dated 27th June 2016). Measured and Indicated Resources now total 22Mt @ 3.4g/t for 2.4Moz.

Helix Resources Limited (ASX:HLX) is pleased to announce that aircore drilling commences today at the Battery Tank Prospect near Cobar in NSW.

The 20 hole program, for approximately 1,000m, will be testing a large 500m x 500m gold-in-soil anomaly associated with a series of historic pits and trenches scattered throughout the Prospect area. The program is targeting high-grade gold structures.

- A 20 hole Aircore drilling program commences today at the Battery Tank Gold Prospect, Cobar NSW.

- The 1,000m program will be testing a large 500m x 500m gold in soil anomaly scattered with historic pits and trenches.

- Helix is targeting high-grade gold mineralisation associated with quartz-rich structures and altered sediments within multiple prospects identified throughout a 5km wide historic goldfield.

- Recent diamond drilling at nearby prospects have returned excellent high grade gold results including 45m @ 3.4g/t Au at the Boundary Prospect and 28m @ 3g/t Au to EOH at the Good Friday Prospect.

- The Company plans to complete first-pass drilling at the Battery Tank Prospect and then prioritise additional drilling to advance these exciting high grade gold discoveries.

Results from the recent diamond drilling at the nearby Good Friday and Boundary Prospects have provided a clearer understanding of the high-grade gold controls within structures in this goldfield (refer figure 1 in the link below).

Intercepts included from shallow depths:

Boundary Prospect : HRDD002: 45m @ 3.4g/t Au from 46m, incl. 5m @ 9.3g/t Au from 51m and 11.4m @ 5.1g/t Au from 71m.

Good Friday Prospect: HRDD003: 28.8m @ 3.0g/t Au from 29m incl. 8m @ 4.9g/t Au from 31m and 7.8m @ 4.0g/t Au from 50m to EOH.

Helix has submitted additional plans for approval with the Mines Department for further drilling and is planning diamond and RC programs to follow-up these exciting high grade gold results.

Regionally, Helix is targeting multiple gold-rich structures within the broader goldfield. Additional targets will continue to be worked-up using the company's soil auger rig to define gold anomalies to be tested in future drilling programs.

The historic goldfield being targeted by Helix was actively mined in the late 1800's before a multi-year drought forced the area to be abandoned. Historic records report that during its producing years, gold grades exceeding 3kg per tonne were produced from this goldfield.

The gold systems present are thought to be similar to the nearby Mt Boppy gold mine where 500,000 ounces at an average grade of 10g/t Au was produced from a deposit less than 300m in length.

Core Exploration Ltd (ASX:CXO) High Grade Lithium Assays from Maiden Diamond Drilling

$
0
0
Core Exploration Ltd (ASX:CXO) ("Core" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that high grade lithium assays have now been received from its maiden diamond drilling program at the BP33 and Grants Prospects within the Finniss Lithium Project near Darwin in the NT ("Finniss").

HIGHLIGHTS

- High grade lithium assays of drill core confirm that diamond drilling at the BP33 and Grants prospects within the Finniss Project have consistently hit thick intersections of high grade spodumene mineralisation

- Thick intersections of high grade spodumene mineralisation were made in all four diamond holes drilled, including:

-- 42m @ 1.53% Li2O from 58m (FRCD001) at Grants Prospect

-- 39m @ 1.55% Li2O from 69m (FRCD002) at Grants Prospect

-- 48m @ 1.53% Li2O from 70m (FRCD003) at Grants Prospect

--- Including 5m @ 2.53% Li2O

-- 34m @ 1.47% Li2O from 85m (FRCD004) at BP33 Prospect

- 2 RC drill rigs are currently drilling multiple targets at Finniss, with assay results expected through December and into early 2017

As previously announced, all diamond holes drilled hit thick intersections of excellent quality coarse grained spodumene that is potentially amenable to processing to produce commercial grade spodumene concentrate.

Assays have now been received for each of the diamond holes at the BP33 and Grants Prospects and are summarised in Table 1 (see the link below).

Spodumene Pegmatite Mineralisation

Core's high grade assays from diamond core confirm observations in drill core that high grade lithium (as spodumene) is consistently present as a major rock forming mineral throughout the fully-cored pegmatite drill intersections at Finniss (see Figures 1-4 and Table 1 in the link below).

Spodumene mineralisation is consistent throughout the Grants pegmatite, and has been intersected consistently over 40m-50m in all three fully cored diamond drillholes (see Figures 1-4 in the link below).

In all cored holes at Grants, the pegmatite has a simple zonation from wallrock inward: 1-2m thick quartz-mica rich margins and a 30-35m (true thickness) spodumene rich medial/central zone.

The spodumene is green at the Grants Prospect, in contrast to the spodumene at the BP33 Prospect in which it had both green and pink spodumene. The spodumene crystals are usually large with some greater than 10cm (see Figures 1 & 2 in the link below).

On preliminary inspection it appears that the pegmatite at BP33 and Grants comprises only a few simple minerals, in overall order of abundance: feldspar, spodumene, quartz and muscovite (less than 5%).

Next Steps

A bulk sample from Grants of 400kg of large diameter HQ core is now at Nagrom metallurgical facilities in Perth, W.A for metallurgical test work to determine potential to produce commercial grade spodumene concentrate. The first test results from this work are expected in early 2017.

Core currently has 2 RC rigs undertaking exploration drilling of a number of prospects on the Finniss Lithium Project.

The field season remains open at Finniss, so the current Phase 2 RC drilling program is expected to continue well into December and may open the opportunity to drill additional targets.

Assay results from this Phase 2 RC drilling are expected during December and in early 2017.

Finniss Lithium Project Background

Core's Finniss Lithium Project covers a large portion of the Bynoe Lithium-Tantalum-Tin Pegmatite field (see Figure 5 in the link below).

Core's drilling at Finniss has intersected high lithium grades and spodumene mineralisation within a number of pegmatites at Finniss.

The Bynoe Field is a 15-20 kilometre wide belt of more than 90 tin and tantalum prospects and mines and lithium rich pegmatites which stretches over a distance of 75 kilometres south from Port Darwin and is one of the most prospective areas for lithium in the NT.

Core's Finniss Lithium Project has substantial infrastructure advantages being close to grid power, gas, and rail and services infrastructure and within easy trucking distance by sealed road to the multi-user port facility at Darwin Port - Australia's nearest port to Asia.
