Update on the Status of the Lobash-1 Gold-Copper Project
The initial review by Stans of the documentation of the Lobash-1 gold-copper project produced the following results:
- The current status of the Mine Licensing Agreement for the Lobash-1 property, held by the JSC “Promnedra-Regions”, is being confirmed with the Russian State Sub-soil Agency.
- Since exploration began in 1980, 100 exploration drill holes totalling over 23,000 m of core have been completed on the Lobash-1 property. Of these, analytical results from core from 43 drill holes completed in 2009, were used to prepare mineral resource estimates for the property.
- The preliminary C2 Category mineral resource estimates of the Russian Federation Standard for the Lobash-1 property, as approved by the Russian State Reserves Committee in its report of February 17, 2010, are reported in the Company’s Press Release of February 27, 2020.
- The mineral resource estimates for the Lobash-1 project are not NI 43-101 compliant and should not be relied upon.
The Company is continuing its due diligence of the data including exploration and metallurgical test results, as well as the mineral resource estimates, while waiting for licensing issues to be cleared.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
