(firmenpresse) - Bohrungen in s眉d枚stlicher Zone bei Tr锚s Estradas liefern weiterhin eindrucksvolle Ergebnisse
H枚hepunkte:
- Bohrungen entlang der k眉rzlich entdeckten s眉d枚stlichen Zone mit Streichenl盲nge von mindestens 700 m sorgen weiterhin f眉r Entdeckungen von Mineralisierung mit M盲chtigkeiten und Gehalten, die jenen der aktuellen Lagerst盲tte Tr锚s Estradas entsprechen:
o Bohrloch TED-17-121 ergab 28,60 m mit 3,53 % P2O5
o Bohrloch TED-17-124 ergab 54,00 m mit 3,70 % P2O5
o Bohrloch TED-17-126 ergab 40,05 m mit 3,08 % P2O5
o Bohrloch TED-17-127 ergab 28,55 m mit 3,87 % P2O5
- Die Streichenl盲nge der nord枚stlichen Erweiterung ist weiterhin 眉ber 700 m offen und das Unternehmen wird mit oberfl盲chennahen RC-Bohrungen beginnen, um diese potenzielle Erweiterung hinsichtlich weiterer oxidierter Mineralisierungen zu erproben
- Erg盲nzungsbohrungen bei Lagerst盲tte Tr锚s Estradas liefern weiterhin hervorragende Ergebnisse, die die Homogenit盲t der Mineralisierung sowie die Best盲ndigkeit an der Seite und in der Tiefe best盲tigen:
o Bohrloch TED-17-111 ergab 45,70 m mit 4,51 % P2O5
o Bohrloch TED-17-114 ergab 79,00 m mit 3,23 % P2O5
- 13.710 m an Erg盲nzungsbohrungen (Infill-Bohrungen) abgeschlossen - Programm soll bis Ende des Monats finalisiert werden
- Pilotanlagen-Flotationstest von oxidierter Karbonatit-Gro脽probe zurzeit bei Eriez im Gange
- Geplante Notierung an TSX-V geht gut voran
Der brasilianische D眉ngemittelentwickler Aguia Resources Limited (ASX: AGR) (Aguia oder das Unternehmen - http://www.commodity-tv.net/c/search_adv/?v=297517) freut sich, seinen Aktion盲ren ein Update des laufenden Erg盲nzungsbohrprogramms bei seinem Vorzeige-Phosphatprojekt Tr锚s Estradas im S眉den von Brasilien bereitzustellen. Das Programm liefert weiterhin positive Ergebnisse, die die Homogenit盲t und Best盲ndigkeit der Lagerst盲tte nachweisen. Ein Diamant- und ein RC-Bohrger盲t sind weiterhin am Standort im Einsatz.
Bis dato wurden insgesamt 13.710 Meter gebohrt, einschlie脽lich 9.495 Meter an Diamantbohrungen und 4.215 Meter an RC-Bohrungen. Das j眉ngste Bohrprogramm, das Ende 2016 begonnen hat, ist ein gr枚脽eres Vorhaben und macht etwa 50 Prozent der Diamant- und RC-Bohrungen auf insgesamt 27.800 Metern aus, die seit 2011 im Konzessionsgebiet durchgef眉hrt wurden.
Wie bereits am 16. Februar 2017 gemeldet, identifizierte das Unternehmen eine neue oberfl盲chennahe Mineralisierungszone entlang der S眉dostgrenze des geplanten Grubenmantels von Tr锚s Estradas. Durch die Bohrungen wurde in dieser Zone eine Best盲ndigkeit auf einem Streichen von mindestens 700 Metern nachgewiesen, wobei die nord枚stliche Erweiterung weiterhin vollst盲ndig offen ist. Die geologische Modellierung der Ergebnisse entlang dieser Zone weist darauf hin, dass die gefaltete Struktur in Richtung S眉dwesten abf盲llt, weshalb die nach wie vor offene nord枚stliche Erweiterung die Oberfl盲che erreichen sollte und m枚glicherweise hochgradiges oxidiertes Material beherbergt. Die nord枚stliche Erweiterung wird im Rahmen zus盲tzlicher RC-Bohrungen auf 500 Metern erprobt werden, die potenziell oxidiertes Material in Oberfl盲chenn盲he anpeilen werden.
Die Erg盲nzungsbohrungen entlang dieses 700-Meter-Streichens werden fortgesetzt, um von der Oberfl盲che bis in eine Tiefe von nur 100 Metern eine Ressource der gemessenen (Measured) und angezeigten (Indicated) Kategorie zu produzieren. Die Strategie des technischen Teams bestand darin, eine oberfl盲chennahe Mineralisierung anzupeilen, die zur aktuellen Ressource hinzugef眉gt wird. Es ist davon auszugehen, dass die Integration nicht nur das allgemeine Abraumverh盲ltnis des geplanten Betriebs verbessern, sondern schlie脽lich auch die Abbaukosten senken wird. Die Ergebnisse dieser Zone weisen darauf hin, dass die M盲chtigkeiten und die Gehalte mit jenen des Gro脽teils der Lagerst盲tte 眉bereinstimmen, was durch die Ergebnisse der Bohrl枚cher TED-17-124, das 3,70 Prozent P2O5 auf 54,00 Metern ergab, und TED-17-126, das 3,08 Prozent P2O5 auf 40,05 Metern ergab, nachgewiesen wurde.
Der Pilotanlagentest der frischen Karbonatit-Gro脽probe in der Flotation Division von Eriez in Pennsylvania ist abgeschlossen. Die Analyseergebnisse des frischen Karbonatits sind noch ausst盲ndig und werden ver枚ffentlicht, sobald sie verf眉gbar sind. Nun, da die Erprobung des frischen Karbonatits abgeschlossen ist, werden in der Pilotanlage nun Gro脽proben des oxidierten Karbonatits erprobt.
Das Unternehmen hat k眉rzlich Nano, ein Kommunikationsunternehmen aus Porto Alegre, damit beauftragt, die Informationen und Kommunikation hinsichtlich unserer Erschlie脽ungsarbeiten mit den Gemeinden Tr锚s Estradas und Lavras do Sul sowie mit den staatlichen Beh枚rden in Porto Alegre und allen Interessensvertretern des Projektes zu unterst眉tzen. K眉rzlich wurden mehrere Veranstaltungen hinsichtlich des Gemeinschaftsbewusstseins abgehalten, einschlie脽lich Workshops mit der Gemeinde und Pr盲sentationen des Projektes f眉r ein zahlreiches lokales Publikum.
Technical Director Dr. Fernando Tallarico sagte: Die Bohrergebnisse entlang der neuen s眉d枚stlichen Zone und innerhalb der Lagerst盲tte sind 盲u脽erst konsistent und verdeutlichen die kontinuierliche und homogene Beschaffenheit der Lagerst盲tte Tr锚s Estradas. Wir sind zuversichtlich, dass die M枚glichkeit besteht, zus盲tzliches oxidiertes Material entlang der nord枚stlichen Erweiterung dieser k眉rzlich entdeckten neuen Zone zu finden.
Managing Director Justin Reid f眉gte hinzu: Unser technischer Erfolg bei Tr锚s Estradas treibt den Wert des Projektes mit jedem Meter, den wir bohren, weiter nach oben. Die Konsistenz des Erzk枚rpers erm枚glicht ein einfaches Minenmodell f眉r die bankf盲hige Machbarkeitsstudie und unsere neue Erweiterung bietet die M枚glichkeit f眉r eine betr盲chtliche Steigerung des oberfl盲chennahen, zug盲nglichen Erzes, das unsere Abbaukosten weiter senken wird.
Ich bin k眉rzlich vom Standort zur眉ckgekehrt, wo ich mich mit unserem langfristigen Kommunikationsplan mit der Gemeinde und der Region von NANO vertraut gemacht habe, das einen ganzheitlichen Kommunikationsansatz entworfen hat, um die unglaubliche Arbeit fortzusetzen, die das Team bis dato geleistet hat. Unser Team wurde beim Treffen mit dem B眉rgermeister von Lavras do Sul, der unsere Arbeiten weiterhin unterst眉tzt und eng mit uns zusammenarbeitet, um unseren Beitrag f眉r alle lokalen Interessensvertreter unseres Projektes zu steigern, herzlich empfangen. Wir sehen uns bereits als wichtigen Teil der Gemeinde und freuen uns darauf, ein Arbeitgeber und Produzent zu werden.
Aguia gibt auch bekannt, dass seine geplante Notierung an der Toronto Venture Exchange gut voran geht, zumal der Gro脽teil der erforderlichen Dokumentation nun bei den Regulierungsbeh枚rden der TSX-V zur Pr眉fung eingereicht wurde. Ein Update des Zeitplans der Notierung wird in K眉rze bereitgestellt werden.
