2 Generations of Smithsonite: #Smithsonite, or zinc spar, is zinc carbonate (ZnCO3), a mineral ore of zinc. Historically, smithsonite was identified with hemimorphite before it was realised that they were two distinct minerals.This Sample is from #Angouran #Mine (Anguran Mine), #Sheykhlar, #Zanjan #Province, #Iran. A Zinc Mine in Iran owned by NILZCO; It's VMS type deposit, located about 300 km NW of Teheran, and 120 km W of Zenjan. The deposit is worked from an open pit (the largest one in Iran). One of the major zinc producers in Iran. The main ore is smithsonite.

Our exploration team continues their excellent work at the Southern Gold Line; all eight drill holes in the campaign intersected gold mineralization. Well done our team 🙂. Please see more information below and from our release. https://lnkd.in/dp4taK3w Our target during this campaign was to confirm that the Kuittila gold mineralization extends to deeper levels that have never been investigated before – and this target we clearly achieved. At the lower levels, we intersected very wide mineralized areas with high-grade gold lenses. At the same time drill holes 41 and 44 intersected gold mineralization West from the known Kuittila deposit, extending the deposit to the West. One interesting point is the molybdenum and tungsten levels in the results and tungsten being a strategic mineral in the European Union. #gold #goldmining #exploration #goldexploration #endomines #preciousmetals #onemillionouncesandmore

$RPX.V intersects significant mineralization within a gap of the existing resource. 3.80g/t gold over 36.94m including 11.01g/t gold over 5.6m. https://lnkd.in/eSvbJsB9

Metallic Minerals calculates 18M silver equivalent oz. in Keno project in Yukon Metallic Minerals has released its first resource estimate for its 100%-owned, high-grade Keno silver project in the Yukon. The combined underground and in-pit total resource estimate from four separate deposits (Formo, Fox, Caribou, and Homestake) comprises an inferred resource of 2.5 million tonnes at 223 g/t silver equivalent containing 18.2 million oz. of silver equivalent (9.8 million oz. of silver).

ZM: BeMetals Uncovers Extensive Copper Mineralisation in Zambian Copperbelt BeMetals Corp. (TSXV: BMET, OTCQB: BMTLF, Frankfurt: 1OI.F) (the “Company” or “BeMetals”) has announced significant copper sulphide mineralisation from three of four new core holes at the Pangeni Copper Project in Zambia. The new analytical results reveal extensive copper zones covering more than 1.7 kilometres of strike length beneath sand cover, with the copper mineralisation exhibiting characteristics akin to those of major mines in the Domes Region of the Zambian Copperbelt.

This unique mineral is one of the most important ore minerals of the Kalahari manganese fields in South Africa. It is a silicate mineral and crystallizes in the tetragonal system as pyramidal striated crystals or as masses.

This is a prudent next step in the expansion of Orezone's Bomboré Gold Mine in Burkina Faso. By breaking the expansion into two stages, it allows Orezone to focus on: •Deleveraging the balance sheet •Building a strong treasury •Renewed focus on exploration •Evaluating timing & scope of Stage 2

Solis Minerals Ltd (ASX:SLM, TSX-V:SLMN, OTCQB:SLMFF) executive director Matthew Boyes sits down with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson to discuss a first-pass geochemical program at the Cinto Project in Peru, targeting high-grade copper. The company secured an access deal with the Carumbraya community, facilitating drill exploration. The next phase involves systematic mapping and sampling of copper mineralisation. Surface grab samples from Cinto revealed copper content up to 7.14% with mineralisation spread over a 200-metre by 100-metre area in historical workings. The site features a 100-metre-wide exposed area with significant copper oxide mineralisation. The project is located near the regional Incapuquio fault system, close to the massive Toquepala porphyry system. The geochemical and base metal profiles of Cinto samples resemble the Toquepala deposit, suggesting similar porphyry-style mineralisation. Solis is now...

Greatland (AIM:GGP) is pleased to announce exceptional Mineral Resource growth at Havieron, our flagship gold-copper project in the Paterson Province of Western Australia. Estimated Mineral Resources (including Ore Reserves) increased to 8.4Moz AuEq (7.0Moz Au plus 275kt Cu), representing a 29% increase in total gold equivalent content, and 28% increase in total gold content, compared with Greatland’s 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate. Greatland Managing Director, Shaun Day, commented: “We are delighted by the continued growth in the Havieron Mineral Resource Estimate. The growth journey in the resource has been quite remarkable with the total gold equivalent Mineral Resource content having increased from 4.4M oz in the October 2021 MRE, to 6.5M oz in the March 2022 MRE, and now to 8.4M oz in 2023. "The updated MRE now averages over 7,900 ounces per vertical metre (gold equivalent) over 1,000 metres vertically, which is testament to the quality of the Havieron ore body. "The high grade South East Crescent Zone Mineral Resource is now defined over a 1,200 vertical metres (another 200 metres deeper than in the March 2022 MRE update) and remains open at depth. It was particularly pleasing to delineate additional ounces in the lower third of the current extents of the mineralised system, with around 70% of the MRE increase identified in the extensions to this part of the ore body. "Another promising aspect of this update is the definition of the Link Zone, between the Eastern Breccia and main Havieron Breccia; whilst previously interpreted as separate domains, we have now confirmed mineralisation is continuous and the breccias are now defined as a singular continuous Breccia domain. "This update further demonstrates the quality and scale of Havieron, and the compelling investment proposition for Greatland. We are excited to see the impact of the significant growth in the Indicated category on the updated Ore Reserve Estimate that will underpin the Feasibility Study which is ongoing and expected to be completed in 2024.” Read more: https://loom.ly/VzxliF8 #GGP #Haverion #Gold #Copper #Exploration #MiningNews
