Excellon Resources Reports Promising Results from Kilgore Project Drilling in Idaho

Excellon Resources Inc

Excellon Resources CEO Shawn Howarth joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the latest drilling outcomes from the exploration program at the Kilgore Project in Idaho, which is entirely owned by Excellon. The exploration comprised six diamond drill holes, spanning a total of 2,145 meters, with oriented cores and detailed sampling aimed at enhancing the structural understanding and potential of high-grade mineralization. Howarth reported that the drilling has successfully confirmed mineralization in a previously under drilled area of Kilgore, with grade intervals consistent with the current Mineral Resource Estimate cut-off. This suggests a potential extension of the mineralization southwest of the known deposit. Notable results included a yield of 1.37 grams per tonne of gold (g/t Au) over 81.21 meters in drill hole EX22KG004, which included higher concentrations of 2.77 g/t Au over 15.64 meters and 5.28 g/t Au over 5.54 meters, confirming significant high-grade mineralization in the Aspen sediments. Additionally, drill hole EX22KG005 showed 0.53 g/t Au over 56.24 meters, including 2.91 g/t Au over 1.45 meters, effectively testing the extension of the existing mineralized envelope to the southwest. This valuable data will contribute to a better understanding of grade contouring and will be instrumental in future resource modeling and exploratory drilling programs.

Electric Royalties looks for sustained growth in 2024 after closing large royalty acquisition

Electric Royalties Ltd

Electric Royalties CEO Brendan Yurik joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share details the company has announced the successful closure of the company's previously disclosed transaction to acquire a comprehensive portfolio comprising 18 royalty agreements and 32 lithium properties situated in Ontario. Yurik elaborated on the portfolio's composition, highlighting its inclusion of 18 royalties and 32 lithium properties. Notably, 31 of the 32 properties are presently under exploration by third parties pursuant to option agreements. Subject to the fulfillment of option payments over the next two and a half years and the exercise of options, each property would transition into royalty interests for Electric Royalties. The company would retain ownership of any properties not transferred to optionees, with the flexibility to re-option, sell, or relinquish such properties. These properties encompass promising land situated on geological trends similar to, and surrounding, significant lithium discoveries in Ontario. Moreover, six out of 24 developed lithium prospects in Ontario with documented reserves or resources are proximate to these properties. Electric Royalties' acquisition underscores its strategic positioning within the burgeoning lithium sector, capitalizing on the potential of Ontario's lithium resources and reinforcing its commitment to expanding its royalty portfolio in key mining jurisdictions.

BNA will use this new facility to manufacture high quality healthy food ingredients including VitaFiber® IMO and the new products being scaled up under the MPA with PIC.   Dr. Zhu added, “A new large-scale facility in Canada will propel BioNeutra to the forefront of value-added food ingredients created from starch. We look forward to working with our partners over the next three years on this project.”   About BioNeutra BioNeutra is an award-winning, sector-leading Canadian company in the business of research and development, production, and commercialization of ingredients for nutraceutical, functional and mainstream foods and beverages with a focus on its lead product - VitaFiber® IMO.   VitaFiber® IMO is made using a patented process that naturally transforms starch molecules from agricultural crops such as pea or tapioca into healthy, functional molecules. The VitaFiber manufacturing process is based upon a natural enzymatic conversion of the molecules without any chemical modification involved making VitaFiber® IMO a natural food and beverage ingredient. VitaFiber® IMO is also non-GMO, vegan friendly, gluten-free, Kosher and Halal certified and available as certified organic.   VitaFiber® IMO has been approved for sale by the world’s top three health regulatory bodies – GRAS approved by the US Food & Drug Administration; the European Food Safety Authority and Health Canada (approved as a novel food ingredient and dietary fiber).
