the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) High Angle Rescue Team responded to a driver whose car had rolled off of Gold Camp Road
CSFD reported that one person had to be removed from the car
The team reported that the driver had been successfully removed from their car and taken to a "waiting ambulance."
The High Angle Rescue Team is one of CSFD's five specialized response teams.
the team was created to "provide safe and efficient evacuation of climbers in the Cheyenne Canon and Garden of the Gods Area."
Roll-over accidents in the Gold Camp Road area are also a big concern for the team
due to an influx in the accidents and amateur climbers
the team responds to an average of 30 rescues a year
it's worth noting that service members who retire and then teach at the Academy are considered civilian instructors

Report a typo
and the rookie quarterback delivered during the Green Bay Packers' rookie minicamp
Matt LaFleur said Taylor Elgersma had a live arm
While the Canadian quarterback went undrafted
the Packers have shown clear interest by hosting him for a tryout
He was the only quarterback on the practice field
which gave him one-on-one time with LaFleur
"Elgersma's arm is in fact live. Can confirm," Packer Report's Andy Herman wrote from minicamp
"Wouldn't be surprised if they liked him enough to be the #4 QB in camp."
As the only quarterback at rookie minicamp
Elgersma received extensive coaching from LaFleur and new quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion
The buzz is quietly building about Elgersma, who threw for 4,011 yards
and 10 interceptions for the Laurier Golden Hawks last season
He also showed off his rushing ability with six more touchdowns on the ground
He could be the perfect quarterback to develop on the practice squad
The Buffalo Bills plan to give him a tryout
and Elgersma was also selected in the second round of the Canadian Football League Draft
The Packers have the inside track
as passing game coordinator Jason Vrabel coached him at the Senior Bowl
Green Bay has a track record of bringing in players who perform well in Mobile
and Vrabel got to spend the week with the young quarterback
He would be a perfect fourth quarterback to bring to training camp
While he's a way off being ready to play NFL snaps
LaFleur described it as a "live arm," but Elgersma can also move and run
Elgersma took home first-team All-Canadian honors and won the Hec Crighton Trophy
The Packers don't need competition for Jordan Love or Malik Willis, but they are always looking for quarterback talent
and the Packers may view Elgersma as a project who could eventually take on backup duties
and the Packers haven't even signed him yet
But Elgersma caught attention at rookie minicamp and is a player to watch closely

(TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC) ("RUA GOLD" or the "Company") is pleased to advise the commencement of drilling at the Cumberland gold camp drill target
This builds upon the integration of the VRIFY AI targeting and ranking process with RUA's extensive geological database
as well as the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield - an orogenic gold and antimony belt on the South Island of New Zealand
The geological team have defined an initial drill program for 6 holes of depths ranging from 70m to 150m to be drilled from the first pad to define the structure of the Gallant lode
Targets are following up on high grade historical intercepts that are at very shallow depths ranging from 30m to 60m
Subsequent drilling will then systematically test the remainder of the Cumberland gold camp targeting the 7 historic mines in a 2.2km long north-northwest trending zone of quartz veins and shearing
Historical drilling targeting the Gallant structure drilled 20.7m of quartz with individual 1m assays ranging from 0.15g/t gold to 1911g/t gold (60oz/t) using screen fire assay method
Re-assaying the historical core using photon assay methods confirms the very high grade and nuggety nature of the gold mineralization
Averaging the two sets of core assays confirm a 20.7m intersection assaying 62.2 g/t (2 oz/t) gold
Modelling of the observed quartz veins and gold mineralisation intercepts interprets an 8m true width of the vein
Initial drilling targets a 600m zone from the Gallant to the Sir Francis Drake historical workings (see figure 3 below)
where quartz veins can be traced on surface in folded structurally complex greywacke-argillite host rocks
The Cumberland structural zone has emerged as a standout target from the early stages of the Company application of the VRIFY AI tool
RUA GOLD has completed drilling of the Victoria lode within the Murray Creek mine camp and is now focusing on the Cumberland gold camp
a historic site located 3km south of Globe-Progress Mine
The Globe-Progress Mine has a rich history of production
with over 1 million ounces of gold produced (424,000 ounces prior to 1950 and an additional 665,000 ounces produced between 2007 and 2015 under OceanaGold)
"The Gallant prospect represents the first VRIFY target to be drilled in 2025
With a history of compelling high-grade gold
it lies in structurally complex steeply folded sequence of rocks
and remains largely untested along strike and at depth
Located just 3km south of a major road and accessible via a 4WD track
Gallant has logistical simplicity for exploration and potential development."

Based on the extensive surface exploration work and historical drilling
the Gallant lode in the Cumberland gold camp stands out as an exceptional high-grade target
Abandoned without rigorous testing following the completion of the Globe-Progress mining
it features quartz veins outcropping on surface within an envelope of strong gold-arsenic anomalism
The Gallant lode has several exploratory holes drilled by OceanaGold 15 years ago
on a well-defined quartz vein at shallow depth (Table 1 in the appendix; Figure 2)
The Company has re-assayed the historical core using photon assay methods
which confirmed the very high grade and nuggety nature of gold mineralization
Averaging the two sets of core assays confirms a 20.7 m intersection assaying 62.2 g/t (2oz/t) gold
Core orientation clearly demonstrates that this intersection drilled down the quartz reef exaggerating its width but provides for a compelling and prospective target for immediate follow-up

The Cumberland gold camp comprises 7 historic mines in a 2 km long north-northwest trending zone of quartz veins and shearing
Historic production totaled 21,740oz gold at an average recovered grade of 26.1 g/t (see appendices)

The Company has partnered with VRIFY to onboard VRIFY's AI-assisted mineral discovery platform to accelerate discovery
reduce costs and further de-risk exploration
In conjunction with the consolidation of the Reefton Goldfield in November 2024
Cumberland was identified as a standout target
The VRIFY team has assimilated geochemistry
drilling and geophysical data on an unprecedented scale and accuracy over the whole district
actively informing our 2025 drill targets for quicker project advancement and de-risking our work programs
unlocked through VRIFY's Al-assisted mineral discovery platform
This AI-assisted data synthesis enabled RUA GOLD to actively and effectively rank its 2025 drill targets
accelerating its project advancement and de-risking its work programs in a matter of minutes
RUA GOLD inherited thousands of data points from historic activity on its multiple mine sites and exploration work with the Reefton Goldfields
The ability to rapidly mine this existing data for new insights and targets
provided real-time feedback through VRIFY's platform to inform drilling programs
RUA GOLD is just beginning and is confident that VRIFY will continue to add value by allowing for the analysis of larger datasets without increasing costs linearly
VRIFY's proprietary Al model reduces human error and identifies patterns that manual review might miss

RUA GOLD is treating the drill results as historic
sampling and analytical information contained in the written disclosure
Data was verified by examination of remaining core in the core-box; confirming intervals
core splitting and interval handling procedures and logged core descriptions matched original core logging
Verified the core sampling and assay procedures by examining and confirming from the original assay certificates of SGS and ALS laboratories that the sample numbers recorded matched the sample intervals logged
Verified from original assay certificates stated blanks and certified standards and duplicates were used and reported
and where deviations outside 2 standard deviations assays have been repeated
Verified that suitable assay methodology for coarse gold was used by both laboratories SGS Reefton method FASC30T(screen fire assay) and ALS method Au-SCR22AA (screen fire assay)
The QP has verified in the zone of exceptionally high-grade gold values that gold is clearly visible in veinlets within a significant quartz vein
The QAQC summarized from the OceanaGold report is as follows:
"Diamond drill samples were generally taken over 1 m intervals and cut in half
Some of the significant reef samples were analyzed at the ALS laboratory in Townsville for rapid processing and the rest were analyzed at the SGS laboratory in Westport
Due to the large amount of quartz reef drilled in the first part of the program
a screen fire technique was introduced at SGS (FAS30T)
ALS Townsville preformed 1 kg screen fire assays (Au-SCR22AA) along with a standard fire assay procedure (Au-AA26)
Diamond core submissions included at the minimum one blank and two certified standards and at least two lab duplicates taken after coarse crushing of the sample
If both standard assays from the same hole returned assay values outside two standard deviations of the actual value
the laboratory was requested to re-assay the job
Assays from dispatches RD131025.1 and RD131106.1 showed significant deviation from standards and checks
These two batches were re-assayed (RD131025.1R and RD131106.1R respectively)
All assay data was imported into the Reefton project acQuire database directly from laboratory reports."
MP 41164 Globe Progress annual technical report - 2014
Samples were analyzed by PhotonAssay at ALS Perth
which has a detection range of 0.03-350 ppm Au
PhotonAssay analysis works by bombarding samples with high-energy X-rays which excite atomic nuclei that produce gamma rays at signature energies
This method has a fast turnaround time and is non-destructive

A meeting next week highlights the efforts of people in southern Teller County to provide housing for people with low-to-moderate annual incomes
22 in Cripple Creek introduces the founders of Gold Camp Housing Partners and a project they call HOPE
“HOPE stands for Housing Opportunities Process Engagement,” said Kaitlyn Ragsdale
“Our nonprofit was formed in June to provide decent and safe housing
the organization intends to seek funding through grants and loans from USDA
“We’ll have testimonials from people who became homeowners with USDA loans,” Ragsdale said
Colorado residents pay 1\10th of 1% of federal taxable funds from the state’s general fund and is expected to generate $300 million a year
According to the website for the Colorado Department of Local Affairs
40% of the total goes to DOLA and 60% to the Office of Economic Development and International Trade
The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority manages the program for OEDIT
“We’re focusing on Cripple Creek initially,” Ragsdale said
casinos have offered signing bonuses to attract employees
the stopgap was the lack of affordable housing
Gold Camp Housing Partners offers home-ownership opportunities for families
seniors and workforce households earning up to 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI)
we strive to promote equitable housing options and strengthen our community by addressing the housing needs of diverse populations.”
Among the presenters are Cripple Creek Mayor Annie Durham

CRIPPLE CREEK — For nearly two-and-a-half decades
the Gold Camp Victorian Society has been hosting a tour through Mt
and even unknown members from Cripple Creek and Victor's distant past (1890s - early 1900s) are brought to life through carefully rehearsed portrayals
the event is now in its 24th year; members of the club estimate that collectively
hundreds and hundreds of hours have gone into researching and rehearsing over the years in order to depict their chosen historical figures and characters in as much depth and detail as possible
In addition to hearing stories from the most recognizable individuals laid to rest at Mt
Pisgah cemetery (such as Pearl DeVere and Doctor Susan Anderson)
The Gold Camp Victorian Society also educates visitors on the thousands of unmarked graves that reside on the premises
they're taking a piece of history with them," commented society member and reenactor
"it's so important that we preserve this history
this little piece in time that will never be here again."
This event, intended to be as educational as it is entertaining (and somewhat spooky) serves as the nonprofit's largest event each year; however, you can find members of the club bringing 1800s ambiance and historical fun/education to Cripple Creek throughout the summer months as well
This year's event will be hosted this coming weekend on September 21st and 22nd:

After two years of intense archaeological work
The Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities
represented by the Supreme Council of Antiquities
has successfully completed the ambitious Revival of the Ancient Gold City project
an unprecedented initiative that has led to the discovery
and conservation of a gold mining camp with over three thousand years of history
southwest of Marsa Alam in the Red Sea province
has been rescued thanks to the collaboration between archaeological authorities and the administration of the current Sakari gold mine
thus ensuring the protection of Egypt’s invaluable historical heritage from contemporary mining activities
The project has involved a series of extensive archaeological excavations
and relocation of architecturally significant elements
The structures found have been relocated to a safe site
three kilometers north of the original location
moving them away from modern mining activity currently taking place in the area
This effort has required the application of rigorous administrative and legal procedures
including approval by the Permanent Committee of Egyptian Antiquities
has expressed his enthusiasm for this remarkable discovery
emphasizing the importance of this project in preserving Egypt’s historical legacy
He highlighted that this finding not only provides crucial data on the techniques used in gold mining in antiquity
but also enriches the understanding of daily life in an industrial city in the Eastern Desert throughout different historical periods
Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities
detailed that the excavations have unearthed a perfectly structured mining camp dating back more than three thousand years
remains of a complex gold processing system have been identified
including specialized factories for extracting the precious metal from quartz veins
The evidence found reveals a meticulous process that involved crushing and grinding the quartz
filtering and sedimentation in special basins
smelting in clay furnaces to obtain pure gold
the excavations have revealed remnants of the daily lives of ancient miners
Architectural elements have also been identified
indicating the site’s continued use in later periods
including remains from the Roman and Islamic eras
One of the most fascinating discoveries is a collection of 628 ostraca (fragments of pottery or stone with inscriptions)
reflecting the linguistic and cultural diversity of the time
bronze coins from the Ptolemaic dynasty have been found
along with an impressive number of terracotta figurines depicting human and animal representations from the Greco-Roman period and small stone sculptures
Also discovered were five offering tables from the Ptolemaic era
along with a varied collection of ceramic vessels of different sizes and shapes
as well as ornaments made of precious stones and seashells
Khaled emphasized that this discovery is essential for understanding the advanced gold extraction techniques used by the ancient Egyptians and for reconstructing the social
and economic structure of the mining communities that inhabited the Eastern Desert throughout history
These findings confirm Egypt’s significance as a gold production center since Pharaonic times
further reinforcing the country’s historical and archaeological importance
head of the Egyptian Antiquities Department of the Supreme Council of Antiquities
has highlighted the efforts made to document and preserve these architectural remains
a replica of the mining camp has been created in a six-acre area
where the main discovered structures have been reconstructed
equipped with high-definition screens displaying detailed images of the excavation process and the most significant findings
Complementing this are informational panels narrating the site’s history and its importance within the context of gold mining in Egypt

belt-scale antimony-gold project covering 13,990.90 hectares over 697 claims
The Howells Lake Antimony Gold Project (“Howells Lake Project”) is located in the Howells Lake area in the Thunder Bay Mining Division of Ontario
for which the price has tripled in the past year
is right now arguably one of the most attractive critical minerals in the world
and the Howells Lake Project provides Madison with one of only a handful of antimony historic resources
have the opportunity to obtain complete control of a large
belt-scale asset like the Howells Lake Project
covering such an extensive area of known mineralization that seems to have been overlooked for decades,” said Duane Parnham
“The Howells Lake Project has enormous potential to have real economic significance
and Madison is seizing this rare opportunity to discover new areas of antimony-gold mineralization as well as define the known areas of antimony and gold mineralization on this very large
We believe we can drive real shareholder value creation as soon as we get exploration underway on the project.”
*The historic mineral resource was prepared before the implementation of NI-43-101 standards for disclosure for Mineral Projects
The historic resource does not meet the disclosure required under the provisions of NI-43-101 and should not be relied upon
The report was prepared by New Jersey Zinc staff in 1977 and reported on by then Ontario Resident Geologist John Scott
While the resources should not be relied upon
the QP for this release considers the resource estimate to be pertinent and of value for readers to consider
“Antimony was historically discovered in drilling alongside gold mineralization on the Howells Lake Project in the early 1970s,” said Parnham
“The antimony price run-up has been driven by its supply-demand fundamentals
and its tripling in price over the past year has been largely sparked by increasing demand and the Chinese export restrictions that took effect September 15
Expanding our portfolio to include this high-impact
high-grade project complements our existing uranium assets and positions us as a first mover in the space.”
the Howells Lake Project is very similar in its geochemistry and geological setting to that found in the world-class Hemlo gold deposits
where gold production and resources now exceed 25 million ounces
Many setting similarities make the Howells Lake Project a very rare ‘Hemlo copy.’ They include the presence of antimony
evidence of regional faults and unconformities with the unique addition of the presence of high-grade antimony associated with some of the gold mineralization
which was largely overlooked or thought to have little value given the antimony price of the 1970s
which was a fraction of the current pricing
Millions were spent exploring the area and defining mineralization
and this work produced a substantial non-43-101 compliant historical resource* of approximately 51 million pounds of antimony
With gold prices soaring past US$2,600 per ounce and antimony trading at more than $16 per pound
the combination amplifies the project’s economic potential.”
Bruce Durham to our team as special technical advisor to the Board of Directors and lead technical manager of all activities at the Howells Lake Project
Antimony is a critical mineral that is vital for numerous applications
it is becoming increasingly strategic and growing in use for military applications
It is also used in semiconductor manufacturing and is a key ingredient in fire retardants and solar panel manufacturing
Global antimony supply faces significant challenges
China produced 48% of the world’s supply in 2023 but essentially ceased exports on September 15
causing a severe shortage and resulting in a tripling of prices in the past year
With virtually no Western production and no new major projects under development
the need for new mines and refining capacity is urgent
Antimony is on the critical metals list of Canada
projects that qualify as critical minerals projects can receive funding incentives not available for other exploration projects

Commenting on the latest exploration programs across the company’s gold project portfolio in the Pilbara
Novo Executive Co-Chairman and Acting CEO Mike Spreadborough said
“We continue our strong exploration program across key gold targets in the Pilbara
The drilling results at Nunyerry North are very promising and we look forward to assessing the complete program and establishing the next set of work activities.”
continues targeted exploration programs across key prospects at the Becher Project
De Grey has completed approximately 36,000 m of combined aircore and RC drilling at Becher to end July 2024 and plans to continue to drill across the Heckmair
Lowe and Whillans targets over the coming months
Our Egina JV tenements are considered highly prospective for significant intrusion-related gold deposits and shares similar attributes to the nearby 12.7 Moz Hemi Gold Project.”
2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novo Resources Corp
(Novo or the Company) (ASX: NVO) (TSX: NVO) (OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to provide an exploration update on programs at the Egina Gold Camp and Balla Balla Gold Project
including results from RC drilling at Nunyerry North (Figure 1) and the recent Determination Wide Aboriginal Heritage Protection Agreement with the Kariyarra Aboriginal Corporation which will allow for on ground exploration to commence at Balla Balla and ongoing work by De Grey on the Becher Project at the Egina farm-in and Joint Venture
Novo has been exploring the Mallina Basin and adjacent areas in the Pilbara since 2017
focusing on gold prospectivity but also with a view to adding value through lithium
This work culminated in 2023 with considerable success delivered from drilling at Nunyerry North and through the completion of transformative deals with De Grey Mining (De Grey) (the Egina farm-in and Joint Venture (Egina JV)) and Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A
(SQM) (the Harding Battery Metals Joint Venture (HBMJV))
These strong JV partnerships give Novo exposure to a new discovery through JV partner expenditure and allows Novo to focus on progressing exploration across targeted prospects in the Pilbara and Victoria and advance assessment of project generation opportunities
Figure 1: Novo Tenure in the Central Pilbara showing the Egina Gold Camp and Balla Balla Gold Project
The Egina Gold Camp is a contiguous tenement package
transecting the Mallina Basin in the north and mafic / ultramafic sequences further south
These corridors are part of the regional structural architecture that encompasses De Grey’s 12.7 Moz Hemi Gold Project (Hemi)3 to the northeast
This tenure has been one of the main focus areas of Novo’s exploration programs over the last eighteen months
and delineation of the Nunyerry North orogenic gold prospect in 2023
First pass drilling at Nunyerry North in late 20234 was restricted to a central zone of structurally controlled outcropping quartz veins with high-grade gold rock chip results (Figure 2)
Figure 2: Nunyerry North geological interpretation
Drilling generated significant intercepts in Main Lode #1 in a shallow plunging shoot within a brittle basalt unit
Other mineralised lodes were identified below the Main Lode #1
Best results from the 2023 RC program include:
Novo recently completed a follow-up RC drill program of 34 holes for 3,942 m aimed at extending known mineralisation in the Main Area and at testing other more regional targets defined by soil sampling
These regional targets included the Estrid Fault
west of the Aurora Fault (‘Aurora West’) and a porphyry unit south of the Skadi Shear (‘Porphyry’)
Angled drill holes ranged from 66 m to 192 m in depth (average 116 m) and were drilled on 40 m to 80 m spaced sections
All holes were drilled oriented perpendicular to the interpreted mineralised trend
with the intersected widths representative of the true width of the mineralisation unless noted otherwise
Main Area - Drilling was designed to extend mineralisation along strike to the east of
and down plunge of the Main Lode #1 and to understand the context of previous high-grade intercepts in the east of the area drilled in 2023
Best results (Figure 3) from the latest drilling include:
See Appendix 1 for hole details and Appendix 2 for complete assay results
Drilling has extended known mineralisation by 250 m to approximately 500 m in strike (Figure 3)
NC061 intersected the Main Lode # 1 approximately 100m down plunge of 2023 drilling extending the plunge extent to over 300m
An additional mineralised shoot is also interpreted towards the east
possibly related to a splay fault recognised from chips and surface mapping
Mineralisation is still open to the east and at depth
Anomalous and significant results from the current program are currently being re-analysed by multi-pot PhotonAssay™
The larger sample methodology may better resolve any coarse gold component
Figure 3: Nunyerry North long section (looking NNW) showing m x g/t Au (downhole width)
Three holes were drilled into the Estrid Fault target where high-order soil anomalies and surface alteration and veining defined the mineralised corridor
All three holes generated significant gold intercepts
Hole NC046 intersected strong silica-sericite alteration (Figure 4)
Figure 4: NC046 drill chips showing altered basalt
top) and mineral / alteration intensity / vein percent (bottom)
None of the drilling was at optimal angles due to the terrain and these holes may have drilled at low angles to mineralisation along the fault
although true orientation of mineralisation cannot be determined at this stage
Mineralisation is open along strike for several hundred metres
Porphyry Target - Three holes were drilled into the Porphyry target where Novo rock chip samples have returned several positive results from brecciated quartz veins5
The porphyry is up to 1 km long by 85 m wide in outcrop and disseminated pyrite is common throughout
with areas showing up to 5% disseminated to blebby pyrite
Drilling intersected a porphyritic rhyolite to rhyodacite with pyrite (+/- chalcopyrite) mineralisation
coinciding with elevated pXRF assays on RC powder of up to 0.21% Cu
Results to date do not warrant immediate follow up in the direct target area
However anomalous Au and Cu results are encouraging for exploration prospectivity in the district
as porphyry style mineralisation was not previously recognised in this area
Aurora West – A broad soil anomaly was tested at Aurora West
in stratigraphy interpreted to be the offset basalt host to mineralization at the Main Lode #1
Whilst quartz veins and minor sulphide were intersected in a number of holes
De Grey is currently progressing the first stage of its earn-in at the Egina JV
with a minimum spend of A$7 million to be completed in 18 months (December 2024)
De Grey needs to invest up to A$25 million on exploration at Becher and adjacent tenements within 4 years to earn a 50% direct interest in the JV
Follow-up aircore (AC) and RC drilling programs commenced at Novo’s flagship Becher Project by De Grey in late May 2024
with two rigs concurrently conducting a proposed approximate 28,000 m combined drill program
The RC drill program is focussed initially at Heckmair and has been designed to follow up on encouraging results at Lowe
The AC drill program has commenced at Lowe and aims to provide better geochemical coverage over structural and intrusion targets
a total of 38 RC holes for 4,975 m and 201 AC holes for 16,955 m had been completed
The Tabba Tabba Shear Corridor is a deep NE trending mantle tapping structure/series of structures in the Southern Egina Gold Camp (Figure 1) and host to numerous gold occurrences
The 60 km strike of the Tabba Tabba Shear Corridor on Novo tenure (Figure 5) is underexplored
as access is difficult and significant parts of the corridor are covered with shallow alluvium
and part of the corridor is overlain by Fortescue Group Basalt
Novo have recently completed a re-interpretation of the corridor utilising new advances in understanding from geology
previous reconnaissance style exploration during 2019 to 2023 and the understanding of Hemi
Several conceptual targets have been identified
with most having received little to no historical exploration
Conceptual targets focus on structural intersections of faults and shears within the Tabba Tabba Shear Corridor
particularly where folded stratigraphy and / or minor intrusions are noted
The Kilkenny prospect was explored by Kilkenny Gold NL (Kilkenny) in the late 1990s and comprised several short costeans and 18 shallow percussion holes for a total of 530 m drilled
following up a coherent gold in soil anomaly
Kilkenny returned best costean samples of 8 m at 4.2 g/t Au
and drilling results of 5 m at 5.0 g/t Au from 9 m (ACN05) and 5m at 1.7 g/t Au from 14 m
See Appendix 3 for hole details and Appendix 4 for complete assay results
and modern exploration includes results of 25.5 g/t Au and 32.3 g/t Au from rock samples7
This prospect is located within the Yandeyarra Reserve and has not been accessible in recent years due to the requirement to complete access agreements
Drilling and surface sample results may not be representative of mineralisation in the district
Novo has recently commenced mapping and surface sampling over prospective parts of the Tabba Tabba Shear Corridor to delineate targets for potential future drill testing
The initial program comprises six mapping areas and approximately 1,200 surface soil samples
with opportunistic rock and stream sediment samples where appropriate
The Balla Balla Gold Project (Figure 6) includes Novo granted tenements and tenement applications immediately north of the Egina Gold Camp (Figure 1) and overlaps with the Kariyarra and Ngarluma / Yindjibarndi Native Title Determination areas
Novo reports that a Determination Wide Aboriginal Heritage Protection Agreement (the Agreement) has been signed between Novo and the Kariyarra Aboriginal Corporation
The execution of this Agreement streamlines the interactions between Novo and the Kariyarra People and confirms Novo’s commitment to open
honest and transparent dealings with the Traditional Owners of the Pilbara Region
The Agreement also provides for compensation payments for the benefit of the Traditional Owners which are customary and in line with normal commercial terms for similar agreements of this nature
The Agreement enables the grant of tenement application E47/4703 at Balla Balla
A cultural site avoidance heritage survey has already been completed with Kariyarra
jointly organised by Novo and SQM with a final report expected within the next few weeks
This survey will enable AC drilling to commence after the grant of the tenement
The Balla Balla Gold Project covers a significant flexure of the Sholl Shear Zone
a major crustal suture between the Central Pilbara Tectonic Zone and the Karratha Terrane
The Sholl Shear Zone is a NE – SW striking mylonite zone
trending parallel to the Mallina Shear and Tabba Tabba Shear Corridor
including the Loudens Fault and Wohler Shear
Novo holds approximately 60 km of strike length over the Sholl Shear Zone at Balla Balla
Figure 6: Balla Balla Project geology showing Sholl Shear Zone corridor and complex folded stratigraphy
The Sholl Shear Zone and surrounds are prospective for orogenic and intrusion related gold
and Novo intends to rapidly progress exploration by regional AC traverses over key targets
Novo retains upside to this lithium potential with the HBMJV
where SQM have paid A$10M for a 75% interest in five of Novo’s tenements
SQM will be the manager and Novo is free carried until a decision to mine
Several conceptual targets on Novo’s tenure have been identified through comprehensive analysis and interpretation of geophysical and remote sensing data
existing geochemical datasets and searches through historic reporting over the broader area
Many of these targets have received little to no historical exploration presenting new opportunities for discovery and development
Tenement application E47/4703 shows significant geological complexity in magnetic data in proximity to the deep mantle tapping Sholl Shear Zone
the stratigraphy comprises interbedded varying sedimentary units of the Mallina Formation and to the north is a fault-bound wedge of Mallina Formation adjacent to felsic volcaniclastics and porphyry dacites & rhyolites of the Red Hill Volcanics
These are also intruded by the young mafic-ultramafic rocks of the Sherlock Intrusion and crosscut by late dolerite dykes (Figure 6)
The complex geological setting and evidence of folded stratigraphy in a potential extension of the Loudens Fault provides a compelling region for a first pass AC drilling program primarily targeting gold and copper mineralisation
Novo has designed a preliminary 8,000 m AC program pending tenement grant and finalisation of the heritage survey
Drilling is expected to commence in Q4 2024
The program comprises regional drill lines to test approximately 10 km of target strike extent
Lines are designed at a nominal spacing of 320 m or 640 m
preferentially targeting interpreted structures and fold closures
This program will utilise the same refined and optimised in-field sampling methodology and dispatch as that used at the Becher Project during 2023 AC drilling
The technique led to rapid sample collection
This program is aimed at determining bedrock geochemistry to generate a coherent litho-geochemistry dataset driving geological understanding and enabling identification of mineralogical systems and their primary controls
Nunyerry North RC chips were split directly off the cyclone on the drill rig at one metre intervals and sent to Intertek Genalysis (Intertek) in Perth
Western Australia with the entire sample smart crushed to -3 mm (NVO02 prep code)
with a 500 g split sample analysed for gold using PhotonAssay™ (PHXR/AU01)
Remaining drill spoil was retained on site in numbered green bags
QA/QC for RC samples are inserted at the rate of 2 x 600 g standards per 100
2 x 600 g blanks per 100 and 4 duplicates per 100
Field duplicates are collected from the cone splitter at the time of drilling
Intertek also inserts PhotonAssay™ blanks and certified standards at the rate of 4 per hundred
All significant sample intervals greater than 0.3 g/t Au or part of an interval that falls within an interpreted mineralisation shape were resubmitted for multiple PhotonAssay™ analysis
selected from remaining crushed material available in the laboratory
Samples were analysed ‘in full’ by splitting the crushed material into multiple PhotonAssay™ jars (PHXR/AU01) with a maximum of five jars
Kilkenny constructed trenches through soil and rubble to ensure sampling could target rock in situ
Samples were collected by hand over two metre intervals along the trench and perpendicular to stratigraphy
with most costeans approximately 20 metres long
Samples were submitted to Genalysis Laboratories and analysed for gold via Fire Assay (AAS
Drilling by Kilkenny was completed with a 600cfm/250psi AC hammer rig
with each meter captured in green bags which have since been rehabilitated
four metre composite samples were speared and submitted to Genalysis Laboratories and analysed for gold via Fire Assay (AAS
Composites greater than 1 metre were speared on site and resubmitted for re assay
Kilkenny does not report duplicate samples or insertion of CRMs or blanks
and historical results are not considered representative of mineralisation in the district

was a tour guide at the mine and a Cripple Creek local
Officials described him as a respected member of the tight-knit mountain community
“I know that he was a good man and he loved his job and he was a part of a mine safety crew,” Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikesell said
Mikesell confirmed the name of the tour guide who was killed during a Friday press conference streamed by KRDO.
Officials have blamed the accident on a malfunction with an elevator in the abandoned gold mine
which advertises itself as a way for visitors to experience the history of the Old West and get an up-close look at “the world’s greatest gold camp.”
The elevator that apparently malfunctioned is not a typical elevator
State documents describe it as a traditional “cable lift mine shaft hoisting equipment.”
The two-minute ride and 1,000-foot drop were described as “cramped” and “longest two-minute elevator ride of my life” by mine enthusiast Heath Gay
who’d visited the mine before Thursday’s incident
Officials say the mechanical failure occurred at about 500 feet inside the mine shaft
Eleven people were rescued from that initial incident
including four people who sustained minor injuries
Another 12 people were left trapped in the mine for hours until rescue crews were able to inspect and fix the elevator
Officials had debated sending a team down the mine shaft as a “Plan B.”
The dozen people still stuck in the mine were not told about the fatality and injuries in the first party
Mikesell said crews decided to withhold that information to help keep the group calm
“We made the ultimate decision not to tell them what was occurring at 500 feet
At the surface we knew that we couldn't get anybody down to them,” Mikesell said
“We knew that we couldn't help them if there was a medical emergency
We didn't want anybody to be upset because if we'd have had an anxiety issue or a heart attack because of the stress of it
you are at 1,000 feet (down) and there's no way up until we get the elevator up and running – other than somebody on a ropes team to bring out everybody one at a time.”
Teller County Commissioner Dan Williams praised the rescue response.
“It's courage under fire is what it is,” Williams
“I think with all of the interactions between both sides of the aisle in the political environment right now
It didn't matter which side of the aisle you sat on
We had the White House reach out to talk to us about mental health concerns
Doesn't matter who anyone is or their political affiliations.”
Mine safety experts from the Colorado Department of Natural Resources' Division of Reclamation
Mining and Safety were dispatched to the tourist mine after the accident was reported
Mikesell referred questions about the mine elevator’s inspection to the state
The agency has not provided copies of permits and inspection reports requested by CPR News
Spokesperson Chris Arend said officials will release more information
including details on the role the state mining agency may have had in overseeing the operation “as the investigation unfolds.”
The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration has no jurisdiction over the mine or investigating the accident since it’s not an active mine and was being used as a tourist attraction
Department of Labor spokesperson Frances Alonzo
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the accident
but would not give any details about the probe until it’s completed
The agency declined to give a timeline for its investigation

This discovery has helped to enhance the nation’s understanding of ancient gold extraction techniques
Egyptian archaeologists have now completed their two-year excavation of an extensive gold mining complex dating back to a time long before Christ
This monumental achievement has been attracting a great deal of attention
In a social media post from the nation’s Ministry of Tourism & Antiquities on Feb
government officials discussed the 3,000-year-old discovery and highlighted key findings
it contains a fully equipped facility for extracting gold from quartz veins
In addition to the gold mining infrastructure of antiquity at the site
they dug up an entire residential district that housed the ancient Egyptian miners
the remains of administrative facilities and bathhouses
Artefacts uncovered at the project were transported to a safe location about three kilometres away
“It is a significant discovery because it expands our understanding of ancient Egyptian mining techniques,” Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities Secretary-General
said in a statement from the government’s official news agency

_________________1 Refer to De Grey’s ASX Announcement
No assurance can be given that a similar (or any) commercially viable mineral deposit will be determined at Novo’s Becher Project.2 See Appendix: Tables 1 and 2 for detailed assay results and hole locations3 Refer to Novo’s ASX Announcement
Significant Drill Results at Becher (corrected)
(Novo or the Company) (ASX: NVO) (TSX: NVO) (OTCQX: NSRPF) is pleased to provide a progress update on exploration activities at the Egina Gold Project (Figure 1) with De Grey Mining Ltd (De Grey) (ASX:DEG)
Novo Executive Co-Chairman and Acting CEO Mike Spreadborough said: “We are delighted that De Grey shares our enthusiasm for the Egina Gold Project
We’ve been exploring the Mallina Basin since 2017
To be able to partner with a group like De Grey
provides the best opportunity for us to drive value for our shareholders at Egina
through any potential new discoveries and future exploration success.”
De Grey is just starting to explore at Egina
with several highly prospective areas yet to be systematically tested
providing multiple new targets to explore and build upon the platform set by De Grey over the past 12 months.”
we remain focussed on progressing our prospects in the Pilbara and Victoria
as well as assessing project generation opportunities.”
commented: “The Egina Project is an important part of De Grey’s strategy to grow a large regional scale resource base around the planned Hemi processing plant
The Egina tenements are approximately 1,000 sq km and significantly grows the land position De Grey has exposure to around Hemi
Egina contains major structures and geological units which extend from Hemi and is prospective for both large intrusion-hosted deposits like Hemi and orogenic gold deposits
Large prospective areas of the Egina Project have not been explored so we believe the area still has exciting potential
De Grey satisfied its minimum expenditure commitment by spending A$7 million over a 15-month period
Our intention is to continue to progress exploration on the Egina tenements towards forming a 50:50 joint venture subject to ongoing assessment of exploration results on the Project.”
Novo entered into an earn-in and joint venture agreement with De Grey for the Company’s Becher Project and adjacent tenements within the Egina Gold Camp (Figure 1)
with the resultant joint venture to be known as the Egina JV
De Grey is earning into the Egina JV and has advised Novo that it has now satisfied the initial minimum expenditure requirement of A$7 million (required prior to December 2024)
This is part of a required A$25 million spend within 4 years to earn 50% of the joint venture
The combined Egina JV and De Grey tenure forms a strategically significant land position in the Mallina Basin covering approximately 2,500 sq km
De Grey assumed management control of the Novo area (under the earn-in arrangements) from 1 July 2023 and rapidly advanced key exploration efforts through targeted AC and RC drill programs and geophysical surveys
The Egina JV tenure comprises a large 1,034 sq km tenement package adjacent to De Grey’s existing Hemi Gold Project (‘Hemi’) and is located immediately south of Withnell and southwest of the Hemi deposits (see Figure 2)
Figure 2 Hemi and Egina Gold Project areas.4
_________________4 Refer to De Grey’s ASX Announcement
Egina contains similar geology and structures to those found within Hemi
in some cases directly along strike from De Grey’s current exploration areas
Consolidating exploration of the Egina tenements with Hemi is an important step in De Grey’s strategy to discover and grow a large resource base centred around the future Hemi processing plant
Previous exploration by De Grey within the existing Farno Joint Venture (De Grey 75% and Novo 25%) and recent drilling at the neighbouring Becher and surrounding prospects (contained within the Egina Project area) highlight the potential for the discovery of large scale
intrusion-related gold deposits similar to Hemi
as well as shear-hosted orogenic deposits similar to the Withnell and Mallina deposits
The additional tenure in the west of Egina also contains strike extensions of the structural corridor that hosts the Mallina deposit and opportunities to discover new intrusions similar to Toweranna and Charity Well
As part of the A$7 million minimum expenditure requirement
De Grey has completed 34,180m of aircore drilling and 9,129 m of RC drilling in 2024 across four main prospects testing prospective intrusions and regional structures (Figure 3)
A drone aeromagnetic survey was also completed in the Becher area
Most of the remaining areas throughout Egina have received very little modern systematic exploration
Figure 3 Egina anomalous gold intercepts and drilling (see Appendix: Tables 1 and 2)
Previous results from De Grey’s work on the Egina Project were provided by De Grey in an ASX release on 13 February 2024 (Greater Hemi and Regional Exploration Update)
and by Novo in its ASX release on 14 February 2024 (Significant Drill Results at Becher corrected)
which included a best intercept of 8m @ 4.7 g/t Au from 97 m in MSRC0031 at the Lowe prospect
with mineralisation associated with a deformed intrusive sill
Other highlights included a large WNW-trending 1.5km brittle fault zone in the Heckmair intrusion with broad intervals of anomalous base metals and low-level gold mineralisation
A follow-up RC program comprising 19 holes (2,368 m) returned strong base metal values including 10 m @ 0.1g/t Au
with individual metres grading up to 4% Zn and 4% Pb
The best gold intercept was 2m @ 2.8 g/t Au in hole MSRC0013 (See Novo’s ASX release dated 14 February 2024)
Prospect locations in the Becher area are shown in Figure 3
with significant intercepts given in Appendix: Tables 1-3
Exploration since De Grey’s Greater Hemi and Regional Exploration Update on 13 February 2024 includes AC and RC drilling
in addition to the drone aeromagnetic survey
which was flown to enable more detailed structural and geological interpretation of bedrock
Multiple thin anomalous gold intercepts were returned at the Whillans prospect from drillholes MSRC0074
associated with minor quartz veining and weak sericite alteration of metasedimentary arkosic sandstone and siltstone
Multiple thin intercepts were returned at the southern edge of the Heckmair sanukitoid intrusion from drillholes MSRC0012
Novo ASX release on 14 February 2024 (Significant Drill Results at Becher corrected)
All intercepts were associated with minor quartz veining and weak sericite alteration and hosted within a dioritic intrusion
extending to the eastern side of the Heckmair Intrusion has identified broad zones of Zn-Pb-Ag and gold anomalism within the weathered horizon
These are adjacent to the previously reported intercepts of base metal mineralisation within the Heckmair Fault that bisects the Heckmair intrusion (Figures 4 and 5)
base metal anomalies can signal enhanced gold prospectivity
Better gold intercepts include 12 m @ 0.8g/t Au (including 4 m @ 2.1g/t Au) in MSAC0989
Gold mineralisation is hosted in quartz veining within metasediments
Anomalous base metal intercepts include 25 m @ 0.99% Zn+Pb (MSAC0962) and 43 m @ 0.53% Zn+Pb (MSAC0963)
Four metre composite samples with anomalous base and precious metals assays are currently being re-split and will be submitted for multi-element and fire assay gold analysis
with ongoing interpretation and targeting to follow
Figure 4 Plan showing anomalous base metal results in AC drilling at Irvine (see Appendix: Tables 2 and 3)
Figure 5 Section showing anomalous base metal (Zn+Pb) results in AC drilling at Heckmair East (see Appendix: Tables 2 and 3)
Four metre composite samples with anomalous base and precious metals assays are currently being re-split and will be submitted for multi-element and fire assay analysis
De Grey is currently awaiting final assay results including aircore re-splits
Work will continue compiling and analysing results from recently completed work programs in addition to generating additional targets and developing follow-up programs
Negotiations with the Mugarinya Community Association are continuing regarding an access agreement to the Yandeyarra Aboriginal Reserve
A high-level Aboriginal heritage area avoidance survey was recently completed on tenements within the Yandeyarra Reserve with results pending
Discussions are also underway with the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation regarding upcoming heritage surveys
Once these permits and clearances are in place
De Grey will be well-positioned for exploring areas that have previously seen little to no modern exploration
On-ground exploration activities will progress from minimum impact
typical early-stage activities including ground gravity surveys
geological mapping including remote sensing methods
De Grey advises that it intends to then progress to AC drilling for target generation and sub-surface geological mapping
Follow up target testing drilling would then generally involve follow-up AC
Key terms of the Egina HOA between De Grey and Novo include:
AC drilling is utilised as a first pass technique testing for gold mineralisation and anomalous pathfinder geochemistry in basement rocks under cover
The drilling methodology is rapid and low cost
enabling large systematic programs to be completed in a cost effective and timely manner
One metre AC drill samples are collected from the drill rig through a cyclone and placed on the ground in piles for geological quantitative and qualitative logging
These piles are then speared as four-meter composites
All AC chip samples were sent to ALS in Perth
Western Australia and each sample was dried
crushed and pulverised to 85% passing 75 µm
11 elements assayed with aqua regia mass spectrometry (ALS Lab Code ME-MS43) with an additional 29 elements assayed with aqua regia ICP-AES finish (ALS Lab Code ME-ICP43)
and trace-level gold by 25 g aqua regia (ICP-MS)
All aircore holes end with a 1 m bottom of hole sample using the ME-MS61 method with Au by 30 g fire assay (Au-ICP21)
are re-split to 1 m samples and were assayed using 30 g Au fire assay with ICP finish (ALS Lab Code
Au-ICP21) and high-grade results >10 ppm Au were assayed by fire assay and gravimetric finish (ALS Lab Code Au-GRA21)
Multielement analysis was conducted using four acid digest followed by ICP-MS finish for 61 elements (ALS Lab Code ME-MS61™)
QAQC procedures for the program include insertion of certified coarse blanks (minimum rate 2%)
certified standards (CRMs minimum rate 2%)
RC drilling allows for deeper testing of anomalies delineated by aircore drilling
and other geological direct targeting methods such as surface mapping and sampling
RC sampling utilized a cone splitter on the rig cyclone and drill cuttings were sampled on 1m intervals
All RC chip samples were sent to ALS in Perth
All RC drilling samples were assayed using 30 g Au fire assay with ICP finish (ALS Lab Code
There were no limitations to the verification process and all relevant data was verified by a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) by reviewing analytical procedures undertaken by ALS

Joseph Glass of Manitou Springs competes in the first stage of the Pikes Peak APEX mountain biking race at Palmer Park on Sept
In aiming to grow its prestige and showcase the bike riding potential of the Pikes Peak region
a sixth-year race is adding what might be called a quintessential route that goes through the Cripple Creek/Victor mining district
Or as the Pikes Peak APEX calls it: “what might just be Colorado’s most stunning gravel race.”
That’s the billing for Queen of the Canyons
the single-day race out of Colorado Springs’ southwest mountains boasts about 135 miles and 11,000 feet of climbing over Gold Camp and Phantom Canyon roads
following much of the Gold Belt Tour Scenic Byway between Cripple Creek and Cañon City
30-mile climb around Pikes Peak’s historic mining camps and a “thrilling descent” down Shelf Road to Cañon City
“It’s a heckuva day of riding bikes,” he said
the Mini Majesty will also run that Sunday
The 65-mile out-and-back covers the entirety of Gold Camp Road
the historic path that fueled the Pikes Peak gold rush
who organizes one of the state’s biggest gravel races out of Steamboat Springs
knows Gold Camp as “one of the most beautiful roads in the state.” In his 15 years around the Springs’ cycling scene
he said he was unaware of a formal race covering the road’s full length
he said: “to continue the growth of the APEX.”
Dangling a prize purse of $12,500 in hopes of again drawing pros and local “joes,” the APEX will return its three mountain bike
singletrack-centric courses June 6-8: in Palmer Park that Friday and North Cheyenne Cañon that Sunday (Saturday was still being finalized as of this writing)
The Queen of the Canyons and Mini Majesty pose other options for Sunday
with the Penrose House serving the same start
finish and afterparty for both Cheyenne Cañon- and Gold Camp-bound riders
Registration is $107 and $138 for the Mini Majesty and Queen of the Canyons
Single-day and three-day options for the mountain bike races run between $64-$295
“there will be some people who have to make a decision,” Rice recognized
But he sees the Gold Camp Road races and the more technical race in Cheyenne Cañon appealing to different riders
In terms of the Gold Camp Road races: “We look at this as kind of a safe way to do a massive
Maybe the route has been too intimidating for one to take on alone or in a small group
“This allows those people to have a structured event
there’s dedicated rest stops with food and drink
Rice said he was keeping “conservative” expectations for Queen of the Canyons and Mini Majesty ridership
He said he was hoping for close to 200 across the APEX’s other three mountain bike races
Numbers have hovered below that in recent years
Housed under the Colorado Springs Sports Corp
with national-level sponsors and significant backing from the city’s Lodgers and Automobile Rental Tax (LART) fund
the additional routes will stretch logistics like never before
“There’s a lot of moving parts for sure,” he said
“We’re gonna just pull everyone together and try to pull off year one and see how it goes.”
playSwanson reflects on 'special' USWNT connection with Smith & Rodman (1:42)Mallory Swanson speaks about her connection with Sophia Smith and Trinity Rodman for the USWNT
AUSTIN, Texas -- United States women's coach Emma Hayes on Wednesday called the team's October training camp "the perfect window" to test out new players who could bolster the squad following its Olympic gold medal earlier this year
Hayes called up six uncapped players to the USWNT for a training camp ahead of a pair of games against Iceland, and a third match against Argentina next week
Three of those players are also in their first senior team camp
"There will be debuts over this block," Hayes said on Wednesday at Q2 Stadium
are the two big windows in the immediate to be able to assess what other players from outside the current playing pool are going to be candidates to be involved with what we're going to be doing."
Thursday's match against Iceland will also mark the first time the team has gathered since the Americans won Olympic gold on Aug
For as much talk there is about turning the page toward the 2027 World Cup and identifying new talent
the three games this window are contractually considered the team's victory tour
"Number one, we want to celebrate," USWNT midfielder and captain Lindsey Horan said
We haven't been back together since the Olympics
so this is an incredible moment for us to be back on home soil and be able to celebrate
My big message at the beginning [of camp] and Emma's message as well is
and we are looking forward to the future."
Defenders Emily Sams and Eva Gaetino, and midfielder Hal Hershfelt are also uncapped
Hershfelt and Sams were alternates at the Olympics
and Sams earned a gold medal since she made a gameday roster as an injury replacement
Forward Alyssa Thompson and midfielder Ashley Sanchez are both in their first training camp since late 2023
Hayes requested to expand the training camp roster by three to 26 members so she could evaluate as many new players as possible
so I felt like I needed to address it before it got worse," Smith said on Wednesday
I've been doing a lot of work in Portland with our medical staff
but I've been working hard and staying ready
we have three games in this window and then I go back
getting my feet back underneath me and feeling good again."
Smith's minutes will be restricted over the next week with the USWNT -- and she won't be alone
The NWSL's final round of the regular season kicks off on Friday
1 -- two days after the USWNT plays Argentina in Louisville
The Thorns sit in seventh place and are haven't clinched a playoff spot
Portland is one of four NWSL teams playing that Friday, which will limit who Hayes plays against Argentina. The former Chelsea coach said that "in an ideal world," nobody will play more than two full matches across the three fixtures
The USWNT coach said the compact NWSL schedule is more of a challenge than having European-based players (the USWNT has four in camp) fly over to Texas
"I think the bigger issue is the NWSL has games [next] Friday," Hayes said
the bigger challenge are the four teams that are playing NWSL games on the Friday
"And these are conversations I've had with the NWSL
so hopefully in the future we'll work towards not having scheduled games on a Friday after a Wednesday international game
We're working hard with NWSL in our communication to plan for the future."
Hayes said she and her staff have conducted an "extensive
comprehensive report" around the Olympics that will inform their strategy as the team shifts focus toward the 2027 World Cup and 2028 Olympics
That strategy will be shared internally in January at a camp feature senior players training side by side with a "futures camp" of younger players who are relatively new to the national team experience
"I think the rest of this year is very much celebrating this victory tour for the players
plus recognizing the achievements of those that have performed really well in the NWSL," Hayes said
2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd
(“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) is pleased to report additional drill results from the Upper 8 Target (“Upper 8”) at its 100% owned Madsen Property located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario
These results follow-up on the significant Upper 8 intercepts previously announced on October 2, 2024
where drilling returned 44.17 g/t Au over 1.3 meters (“m”) and 20.63 g/t Au over 0.5m
“The initial results we received from Upper 8 were very encouraging and motivated our team to add a second drill to focus solely on this new high-grade area
Upper 8 was already a shallow geologic analog to the deeper 8 Zone
but with the exceptional grades and visible gold showings we’re now encountering this target is becoming truly reminiscent of the high-grade gold mineralization Red Lake is known for
but we believe the Upper 8 target has the potential to become the next new significant discovery in the Red Lake gold camp and supports the likelihood for the presence of more high-grade deposits like 8-Zone yet to be discovered across the Madsen property.”
Visible gold showings within 0.5m (core length) zone of blue-grey quartz veining (VBGQ) grading 52.17 g/t Au
Note the spatial association between the high-grade interval and the Russet Lake Mafic Intrusive (RSMI)
PRBA denotes “Biotite-Altered Peridotite” and is the signature 8-Zone-style gold bearing alteration package within the Russet Lake Ultramafic
Diamond drill core in this photo is NQ diameter (47.6 millimeters)
The drill results featured in this news release are focused on the Upper 8 target
which is a shallower geologic analog to the well known high-grade 8-Zone
The Upper 8 target is hosted within the same lithologic unit (Russet Lake Ultramafic) approximately 750m up-plunge from the main 8-Zone deposit (Figure 3)
and its exceptionally high grades make the 8 Zone geologically unique from the main Madsen deposit
The 8 Zone currently contains an Indicated mineral resource of 87,700 ounces (“oz”) grading 18 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”)
with an additional Inferred resource of 18,200 oz grading 14.6 g/t Au
Plan maps and sections for the Upper 8 drilling outlined in this release are provided in Figures 2 through 7
Significant intercepts (>1 g/t Au) from drilling at Upper 8 Target
*The “From-To” intervals in Table 1 are denoting overall downhole length of the intercept
True thickness has not been calculated for these intercepts but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole thickness based on intercept angles observed in the drill core
Internal dilution for composite intervals does not exceed 1m for samples grading <0.1 g/t Au

Drilling on the Upper 8 target is designed to test the projected
near-surface extension of the mineralized shear corridor that hosts the highly prospective 8-Zone
The Upper 8 target horizon was intercepted in only a few historic drill holes
which encountered a zone of strong shearing
alteration and quartz veining equivalent to 8-Zone style mineralization
The Upper 8 shear domain is hosted within the Russet Lake Ultramafic
and the angle of shear emplacement of Upper 8 is sympathetic to the structural orientation observed at 8-Zone
Recognition that the gold mineralization at the Upper 8 target is comprised of transposed quartz veinlets within a definable and recognizable shear corridor provides excellent opportunity for additional drilling and expansion potential
Recent drilling on the Upper 8 target by WRLG has shown that gold mineralization is similar in geological setting and style as the deeper 8-Zone deposit
Elevated gold at Upper 8 is shown to occur within deformed and recrystalized blue-grey quartz and quartz-sulphide veinlets
These veinlets are hosted within shear domains
which are easily recognizable by their locally intense deformation fabrics
A spatial association with mafic intrusives (Russet Lake Mafic Intrusives
which is interpreted as being a more mafic equivalent to the spatial association seen at Madsen between mineralized domains and quartz-porphyry (“QZPY”) dikes
the high-grade vein zones tend to be positioned footwall to the RSMI units
This spatial relationship between gold mineralization and syn-contemporaneous intrusives has been well documented at other significant deposits in the Red Lake district (Eg

The Pre Feasibility Study (PFS) for the Madsen Mine is nearing completion
The final phase of this study involves optimizing underground development and infrastructure sequencing and refining the associated operating and capital costs
West Red Lake Gold is working with SRK Consulting on these optimization opportunities
a process that is expected to take an additional few weeks to complete
As such the PFS is now targeted for release early in 2025
Change of Year-EndThe Company also announces that it has changed its fiscal year-end from November 30 to December 31
Exploration drilling completed on surface at the Madsen Mine consists of oriented NQ-sized diamond drill core
and sampled by a trained geologist at the Madsen Mine core processing facility
Control samples (certified standards and uncertified blanks)
are inserted at a target 5% insertion rate
The BQ-sized drill core is whole core sampled
The NQ-sized drill core is then cut lengthwise utilizing a diamond blade core saw along a line pre-selected by the geologist
the same side of drill core is sampled consistently utilizing the orientation line as reference
For those samples containing visible gold (“VG”)
a trained geologist supervises the cutting/bagging of those samples
and ensures the core saw blade is ‘cleaned’ with a dressing stone following the VG sample interval
Bagged samples are then sealed with zip ties and transported by Madsen Mine personnel directly to SGS Natural Resource’s Facility in Red Lake
which consists of drying at 105°C and crushing to 75% passing 2mm
A riffle splitter is then utilized to produce a 500g course reject for archive
The remainder of the sample is then pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns from which 50g is analyzed by fire assay and an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish (SGS Code GO-FAA50V10)
Samples returning gold values > 10 g/t Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish on a 50g sample (SGS Code GO_FAG50V)
Samples with visible gold or returning gold values > 30 g/t Au are also analyzed via metallic screen analysis (SGS code: GO_FAS50M)
samples are sent to SGS’s facility in Burnaby
British Columbia and analyzed via four-acid digest with an atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish for 33-element analysis on 0.25g sample pulps (SGS code: GE_ICP40Q12)

our state's beauty is accented this time of the year as shimmering aspens
colder storms that frequently drop a coat of white on the peaks of the Rockies
Seeing the best and brightest of Colorado's fall colors does take some planning
we hope that you get the chance to explore a new corner of the state or return to a favorite spot
When should you plan a trip to see the fall colors
fall colors will start to peak by mid-September north of I-70
Something to consider when making your fall leaf-peeping plans
Here are the average dates for peak fall color viewing
the changing aspens typically peak towards the middle to end of September
peak colors are often experienced towards mid to late September
For the Pikes Peak Region and Highway 50 corridor
peak fall colors can be seen from late September through early to mid-October
If you're planning to check out the autumn leaves in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains
you should probably wait until early to mid-October for the best viewing
How this year's drought will affect fall colors
Drought plays a key role in our seasonal fall foliage
areas of Moderate to Severe Drought have returned to portions of Colorado this September
mainly along and east of the Continental Divide and into the High Plains
where we saw exceptional and severe drought conditions
we saw the timing approximately two to three weeks earlier than average," said Dr
a Forest Entomologist from the Colorado State Forest Service
drought can help get those colors to turn more quickly compared to non-drought years
the drought isn't as pronounced in the mountains
and so peak fall colors may come later says Dr
"The season timing appears to be closer to average this year
whereas the last couple of years have been slightly earlier from a lack of precip and drought conditions," said Dr
Weather and climatology also impacts fall foliage
Drought only plays part of the role in this annual tradition
"We want those warm days followed by cool nights
to reveal the yellows and oranges that are already present in the leaves," according to Dr
West also warns that cold snaps and high wind events can impact the trees
sometimes putting an early end to Colorado's annual kaleidoscope of colors
Leaf peeping hot spots for Colorado residents and visitors
with some of my favorite places to catch the changing fall colors
Most of these drives are nearby and can therefore attract larger crowds
so plan these trips on wide-open days when you're not rushed
Leaf peeping after all is all about the journey
This 19-mile paved road from Cascade to the summit of Pikes Peak shouldn't be overlooked
Leaf peeping enthusiasts will get the chance to witness a variety of colors and seasons on the way to the top
but don't forget your jacket at temperatures at the summit can be more than 30 degrees colder than Colorado Springs
The lower part of the drive travels through dense forests and groves of aspen trees
with plenty of opportunities to pull over and soak in the scenery
Crystal Reservoir is one of my favorites to check out the fall colors and admire the view of America's Mountain as your backdrop
It should be noted that this drive isn't free. More information can be found here: Pikes Peak Reservations.
Teller County - Highway 67 from Divide to Cripple Creek
One of the most convenient drives for fall colors from Colorado Springs is on Highway 67 from Divide to Cripple Creek
You'll see tons of yellow aspen and cottonwood trees as you follow the winding road south through the mountains
There are several pull-off spots along the highway to snap a picture
and you can grab lunch or place a bet in Cripple Creek before you head home
Due to its close proximity to the I-25 corridor
it's one of the more popular leaf-peeping trails here
Early mornings are preferred or plan to check it out during the week to avoid peak crowds
Located off Highway 67 about 7 miles south of Divide this popular year-round destination
If you're looking for a great spot to picnic
the opportunities for hiking and leaf peeping here are endless
it's a great place to settle in for a night or a quick weekend getaway
El Paso County/Colorado Springs - Quail Lake
Quail Lake is located a few miles south of downtown Colorado Springs
and is surrounded by beautiful yellow and orange trees
The lake offers fantastic views of Pikes Peak
A recreation mecca for Colorado Springs residents
or simply take a walk on the nearly mile-long trail surrounding the lake
The best view is along the waterfront on the lake's east side
El Paso & Teller counties - Gold Camp Road
Formerly a railroad line from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek
Gold Camp Road is now a free public road popular with bikers and hikers
but features several great views of aspen and cottonwood trees
The easiest way to get there is to drive through Cheyenne Canyon
and follow the paved road until it turns into Gold Camp Road
Gold Camp is a ROUGH road with steep grades
so a 4-wheel-drive vehicle with good brakes is highly recommended
If you've driven out to Breckenridge or Buena Vista from Colorado Springs
and scenic drive about an hour west of Colorado Springs
The mountains you'll see in the distance are part of the Sawatch and Mosquito range
Our advice would be to park at the Wilkerson Pass Visitor Center and explore the area
especially southwest of the visitor center
Plus the valley below is one of Meteorologist Alan Rose's favorite parts of the state as it's a drive that he's done several dozen times en route to his favorite ski areas
Pueblo & Custer counties - Highway 165 from Rye to San Isabel
A longtime favorite of former KOAA-TV Lead Forecaster and Southern Colorado weather legend Mike Daniels
this beautiful drive is great for those who live in Pueblo
A little more than 10 miles from Rye to San Isabel
this short drive is the perfect way to explore the lesser-known Wet Mountains
You'll see lots of Aspen trees along Highway 165
with plenty more fall colors around San Isabel Lake
If you have the time, keep driving about ten minutes west of San Isabel and explore Bishop Castle!
Huerfano & Las Animas counties - Cucharas Pass
Located in the stunning Sangre de Cristo Mountains
the nearly 10,000-foot mountain pass is located less than 20 miles south of La Veta
The peak of fall colors here usually occurs from late September to early October
giving visitors plenty of time to see the changing leaves compared to neighboring passes up north
This lesser-known leaf-peeping drive is not heavily traveled and offers guests beautiful views of the Spanish Peaks to the east
and the towering spines of the Sangre De Cristos to the west
The road is paved and pretty easy to drive for most vehicles
here are a few of our state's most popular spots found outside of Southern Colorado
The Maroon Bells might be the top leaf-peeping spot in all of Colorado
Often regarded as the most photographed place in the Centennial State
the bells sit in front of a valley covered in aspen trees surrounding Maroon Lake
Our advice is to do your research before visiting the bells (what you need to know)
Parking spaces at the Maroon Lake Trailhead are RESERVATION ONLY
and many spots are already taken. If you have a reservation
you can drive your personal car right up to your reserved parking spot
There is a shuttle bus option to the base of the bells
Guests can arrive at Aspen Highlands and purchase their tickets in person for a first come first serve basis
as the bells are one of the most popular places to see fall foliage in the entire state
why not get there in style on Independence Pass
Independence Pass is the second-highest paved mountain pass (12,095 feet at the summit) that connects Twin Lakes to Aspen
and steep at times with two VERY narrow sections near the end of the west side
Fun fact: It's only open on a seasonal basis
closing each year around the first week of November
and not reopening until Memorial Day weekend
The whole pass has amazing mountain views, but the best aspen colors are on the west side of the pass. If you have a little time, stop and see the famous cliff jumping spot, The Devils Punchbowl!
making it a relatively close drive to Colorado Springs
Boreas Pass was turned from a railroad route into a mountain pass in 1952
Boreas Pass will give you plenty of mountain views with dense yellow
The gravel/dirt pass is smooth enough for most 2WD cars
Not only is it one of the most popular national parks in the entire country
but Rocky Mountain National Park also boasts some of our state's most amazing fall color views
You'll see yellow aspens and fall foliage pretty much anywhere in the park
Crystal Mill is an old power station built back in 1893
The mill sits on an outcrop above the Crystal River and has not been in use since 1917 when the Sheep Mountain Mine closed
Crystal Mill is only accessible in the fall and summer months by a rough
High clearance, 4-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended, but the mill can also be reached by foot, a mountain bike, or a guided jeep tour. Click here for more information on Crystal Mill

The British Columbia Government has ordered the company to remove a construction worker camp near its Blackwater project after violating environmental guidelines
The British Columbia Government has ordered Artemis Gold
to remove a construction worker camp near its Blackwater project by the end of this month after not complying with environmental guidelines
Canada’s BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) has directed the company to dismantle a workers’ camp 110km south of Vanderhoof
The office discovered the company was not approved to construct or operate the camp along an electrical transmission corridor outside the mine site.
The order to remove the camp located at the Chu site was issued to the Blackwater Gold Project
an open-pit gold and silver mine owned by Artemis Gold
after an on-site inspection on 14 May.
According to the inspection record
the uncertified facility housed Blackwater Gold transmission line construction workers from April onwards and had at least 48 accommodation units
three generators and potable water storage
The Blackwater environmental permit allows for a construction camp for up to 1,000 employees and an operational camp for up to 500 individuals within the mine site.
Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard
Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis
The mining company said in March 2023 that Artemis Gold received approval to construct the camp from the Mines
Competitiveness and Authorisations Division of the Ministry of Energy
Mines and Low Carbon Innovation.
the certificate holder’s [Artemis ] email explicitly stated the intention to use the camp at the Chu Site as an overflow camp for mine construction workers
The email also indicated that the camp at the site was not considered in construction plans
suggesting that the use of the camp was not included in the environmental assessment for the project.
site representatives mentioned that the original Chu Site camp was demolished
and the holder constructed a new camp facility to house Blackwater Gold workers
as mentioned in the inspection report.
Artemis noted that employees from the Chu site have been transferred to the main camp
which must be relocated by 6pm local time on 31 August.

Road to Gold Training Camp returns to Vail Friday
offering adult classes July 19-21 and youth (20 and younger) classes July 21-23
the camp features Olympic medalist and two-time U.S
Participants build their own training schedule to fit their individual needs from a menu of 40-minute
and skaters can also sign up for private lessons with coaches
On-ice sessions cater to just about every level
from edges to various levels of spins and jumps
Most are capped at 17 skaters on half a sheet of ice
but single jump and edge classes can be a bit larger than upper-level jump sessions
“We’re trying to keep them relatively small so we can connect with all of (the participants),” Gold said
$28.70; lunchtime book chat with Gracie Gold

Workshops also include artistic elements and a special competition simulation and judges’ critique for adults
The camp also offers special talks aimed at parents
including Gold’s “What I Wish Every Parent Knew.”
video analyses or breaking down jumps and choreographic elements as well as special talks with Gold about her memoir
People usually come to the talks with plenty of questions — everything from Gold’s process of writing the book to how it can relate to their lives
“The hardest part about writing the book was including the ups and downs but making sure it came off clearly how much I love skating,” she said
“It’s OK to have ups and downs and love something
I don’t shy away from sharing how difficult skating is
but just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean it’s bad.”
Throughout her competitive and professional career
Gold has learned to view failure as a gift — a learning opportunity that makes you stronger
as opposed to something to beat yourself up about
but I encourage the positive (aspect): Without failure
we don’t learn anything,” she said
I thought it was about me — that I was bad
… One thing I speak about in my classes is that there really is no good jump or bad jump
has a history of being pigeonholed primarily as an Olympic sport
‘When are you going to the Olympics?’ Other sports aren’t like that
‘When are you going to the NHL?'” she said
“There’s a huge community that skates for fun because they love the sport
There are so many other paths and journeys to enjoy skating that aren’t ‘ride and die to the Olympics.'”
The camp’s primary focus revolves around fostering confidence in every figure skater
no matter what one’s age or ability is
Coaches also emphasize kindness and compassion toward oneself and others
to create a supportive and empowering environment
Gold chooses coaches partially because she’s friends with them
but also because she respects what they do on and off the ice and how they want to give back to the skating community
National and Grand Prix Champion Max Aaron
two-time British Junior National Champion James Hernandez
ISU Junior Grand Prix Final bronze medalist Geoffry Varner and Eddie Shipstad
international and world PSA master-rated jump specialist
who also brings the Vail Skating Festival and Ice Spectacular to Vail every December
who is the owner and coordinator for the skating camps and has a special talent for breaking down elements of spins and jumps to students
Pairs Champion John Coughlin and Fankhauser
skating director of Line Creek Community Ice Arena in Kansas City
got together to offer a weekend of classes
and a rink in North Dakota asked if they’d take their camp on the road
a group of elite coaches have offered an average of eight to 10 camps throughout 19 states nationwide
and “would love to do more,” Fankhauser said
The camps focus on smaller markets that might not otherwise attract coaches who have achieved international medals within the skating world
“We are dedicated to ensuring that every skater
has the opportunity to train like an elite athlete,” according to the website
Adult sessions draw a plethora of recreationally competitive and hobby-oriented skaters 21 and older from all over the nation
“Adult skating is the fastest growing aspect of figure skating in the country,” Gold said
“Adult skating is very inclusive and supportive.”
She encourages even shy first-timers to sign up for a beginner class
“If you’ve ever felt like you’re not good enough to participate in skating — because I’ve felt that (because) the skating world can feel exclusive
or elitist — in the Road to Gold that doesn’t exist
She also points out that there’s no need to feel intimidated by the high-level coaches
“Several of us that coach are Olympians or big skaters in our day
We just worked hard at one thing,” she said
In keeping with its mission to make skating accessible to all kinds of ages and abilities
It provides financial support to skaters and clubs
it has provided three grants: one to a club for a jump harness and two for kids who needed new skates
“I have been coaching for 30 years and have been a part of many clinics during that time,” Shipstad said
“Road to Gold is one of the best-run camps in the country and offers something for every level of skater.”

A mountain biker rides under the trail flyover bridge where the downhill bike-only Captain Morgan Bike Trail crosses the new Ladders Trail in North Cheyenne Cañon Park on June 14
Colorado Springs mountain bikers are celebrating the completion of a trail said to be unlike any other in the city
Colorado Springs Mountain Bike Association is calling Captain Morgans the only double black diamond
downhill-only bike trail recognized by the city's parks department
The nonprofit association recently marked the mission complete to modify the trail up to city standards — "the culmination of almost a full year of effort from planning to development to fundraising to construction," read an announcement
A lifelong rider in the Springs and executive director of Colorado Springs Mountain Bike Association
Keith Thompson called Captain Morgans "probably the largest advancement in the mountain bike scene here in probably the past five-plus years."
He added of early feedback: "Really just feeling like
this is a new day for mountain biking and for progressing trails to the point where we have things that we can offer similar to other cities we see around Colorado and around the country."
Off Captain Jacks Trail and plunging toward the downhill bike-only Chutes trailhead on Gold Camp Road
the expert-only Captain Morgans had long been deemed an erosive "rogue" trail by the parks department leading up to the 2018 North Cheyenne Cañon master plan
While the plan called for several trail closures and re-routes in the canyon
advocates with Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates — the city's longest-going mountain bike advocacy group — pushed for Captain Morgans to be retained and sanctioned
The moment was seen as a compromise between city officials concerned about expensive
unsustainable trails on the region's unique
loose soil and enthusiasts wanting to seize the potential of local terrain
Those interests have flared tensions in recent years
Colorado Springs Mountain Bike Association rose in 2022 "to create a new relationship across the divide," Thompson said
"represents a willingness of parks staff to recognize that you can take something that riders want in an illegal trail and find a way to compromise and bring that as a resource."
The trail design "kept it about 90% intact of its current form," Thompson said
was controlling and moving water across loose
"So we had to engineer some pretty calculated drainage features," he said
Captain Morgans was formally recognized in a trail map released by the parks department in June
That's the 2 1/2-mile section largely paralleling Gold Camp Road
dusty road and unlocking several connections between the high reaches of North Cheyenne Cañon and the lower Stratton Open Space
Captain Morgans is one of those connections
Morgans runs down to a wooden "flyover" feature never before seen in city parks
Hikers and cyclists can proceed safely on Ladders Trail while downhill bikers can fly over the overhead ramp
catching brief air in one of the more dangerous moments of Captain Morgans
"We feel like this flyover feature is going to become really the symbol of how mountain bikers perceive Colorado Springs," Thompson said
Riders drop to a narrow turn in a fashion that's difficult to negotiate and appears to be degrading the trail's edge
Thompson said a plan is underway to create a cinderblock stretch that "should provide a surface that people can break on ..
but more importantly will hold the slope."
He said another volunteer day is scheduled for September
"To examine the work that we did through the construction phase to make sure (the trail) is holding up against any rainstorms as well as damage from riders," he said
"So far what we're observing is that the trail is getting used at a much greater rate than it ever was when it was a rogue trail
because that decomposed granite does not always hold up well to extremely high use."
Cyclists in Boulder are celebrating a trail eight years in the making — a trail symbolizing a much longer wait
