Another Exceptional Copper-Vanadium-Lead Intersection At Nosib

and step out hole extends copper-vanadium-lead mineralisation along strike to the NE

Golden Deeps Limited (“Golden Deeps” or “Company”) is very pleased to announce further, exceptional, copper-vanadium-lead-silver intersections from the second diamond drill hole at the Nosib Block (“Nosib”) Prospect, located in the Otavi Mountain Land of northern Namibia (see location Figure3).

Highlights:

  • The second diamond drill hole completed at Nosib Prospect, NSBDD002, has produced exceptionally high-grade copper-lead-vanadium and silver intersections from surface, including:
    • NSBDD002: 20.85m @ 2.0% Cu,1.54% V 2O5, 6.0% Pb, 7.7g / tAg (6.4%CuEq*) from 0m
      • incl. 12.10m @ 3.2% Cu, 2.54% V 2O5, 9.8% Pb, 8.0g/tAg (10.3% CuEq*) from 0m
      • incl. 3.00m @ 6.3% Cu, 7.82% V 2O5, 21.9% Pb, 6.4g/tAg (25.9% CuEq*) from 7.3m

*See copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation Appendix 1

  • NSBDD002didnottesttheentiretargetzonedue to bogged drill-rods, but still intersected an overall zone of 45.7mdownhole/truethicknessataveragegradeof1.0%Cu,0.72%V2O5,2.8%Pb
  • These exceptional diamond drillhole intersections are located within the shallow, supergene, zone of the Nosib deposit between previousvery-high-gradecopper,vanadium,leadandsilver intersections,including:

* NSBRC0102: 29m @1.54% Cu,1.19% V 2O5, 4.49% Pb, 6.97g/tAg (6.6% CuEq*) from 2m

    • incl. 13m @ 2.83% Cu, 2.52% V 2O5, 9.18% Pb, 6.57 g/tAg (13.3% CuEq*) from 3m
    • incl. 9m @ 3.66% Cu, 3.62% V 2O5, 11.9% Pb, 7.70g/tAg (18.4% CuEq*) from 3m

* NSBRC0071: 24m @ 1.33% Cu, 1.37% V 2O5, 4.77% Pb, 3.67g/tAg (5.0% CuEq*) from 3m

    • incl. 10m @ 2.65% Cu, 3.12% V 2O5, 10.7% Pb, 7.79g/tAg (11.0% CuEq*) from 3m
    • incl. 6m @ 3.67% Cu, 4.40% V 2O5, 14.9% Pb, 12.2g/tAg (15.4%CuEq*) from 6m

*See copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation Appendix 1

  • In addition, diamond drillhole NSBDD004, a step-out hole to the northeast of NSBRC0071, has intersected “frequent pods and patches of malachite” (copper-carbonate) as well as copper- sulphide mineralisation from 24.5m to 46.5m (22mzone) with pXRF readings up to 4.4% copper
  • Diamond drilling is continuing (NSBDD005) with a higher-capacity diamond drilling rig, testing down plunge of the previous intersection in NSBRC009² of 5m @ 2.58% Cu,18.8g/tAg from 61 m that indicates potential for a high-grade copper-silver sulphide zone at depth
  • Diamond drilling is also planned to test down-plunge extensions of the very-high-grade Khusib Springs deposit, 15km east of Nosib, that previously produced 300,000t @ 10% Cu,584g/tAg3

Copper Crunch Coming as Demand Rises and Mine Supply Falls Short

Since the advent of electricity, copper has played an essential role in energy generation and transmission. It will be similarly unreplaceable as the world moves away from fossil fuels to more sustainable sources of energy.

Pierre Lassonde, founder and chair emeritus of Franco-Nevada (TSX:FNV,NYSE:FNV), emphasized this during the "Where Will the Money Come From?" panel at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention.

“Copper is required for everything, and today 80 percent of terminal energy is carbon based and only 20 percent is electricity," he said. "If we want a green world, that has to be flipped around, where 80 percent of terminal energy has to be electricity. And the metal that carries electricity is copper in every which way. That is the key metal."

Avrupa Minerals CEO Paul Kuhn

Avrupa Minerals CEO Eyes Joint Ventures for VMS Projects in Europe

Avrupa Minerals (TSXV:AVU,OTC Pink:AVPMF,FWB:8AM) has achieved exploration milestones at the fully funded Alvalade copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulfide project in Portugal and the Slivova gold project in Kosovo. CEO Paul Kuhn is keen to look for potential joint ventures to advance the company's projects.

“The idea is that we start the early phases of the project," he said. "We do the early exploration and hopefully discovery, which we've done at Slivova in Kosovo and the Sesmarias (target) in Portugal, and get them to a point where they are 'venturable.'”

Joint ventures, according to Kuhn, work better by allowing Avrupa and its partners to work together and resolve any problems related to exploration.

World Copper CEO Gordon Neal

New World Copper CEO Shares Plans to Advance Zonia Copper Project to Production

World Copper’s (TSXV:WCU) newly appointed CEO Gordon Neal wants to focus on advancing the Zonia copper oxide project in Arizona, US, to the development stage and transforming World Copper into a US-centric copper company.

“The US government, the Department of Energy, has determined that copper is a critical metal. And so there’s lots of attention and funds available for companies that have a US-domiciled project,” he said.

World Copper’s Zonia project has undergone extensive historical exploration and mine development planning, with a historical 2018 preliminary economic assessment and 2017 mineral resource estimate that show excellent economics, a mine life of 8.6 years and an average annual production rate of 49.1 million pounds.

Casino Project’s Compelling Attributes Attract "Phenomenal" Investments, WRN Exec Says

Western Copper and Gold’s (TSX:WRN,NYSEAMERICAN:WRN) Casino project is a compelling asset loaded with reserves that could last 27 years, one of the factors that sealed joint ventures with Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO,ASX:RIO,LSE:RIO) and Mitsubishi Materials (TSE:5711), according to the company’s CEO, Sandeep Singh.

“Both (Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi) are tremendous partners. They lend a significant amount of technical expertise to the asset — things that a junior company could not replicate on its own even if it had the resources to do it,” he said.

“It's not just the scale … But also kind of the other factors going for it — the high-grade core, that it's at surface with next to no strip, the clean metallurgy, the jurisdiction it's in, you know, the state it's in. There's a lot of positive attributes. And it's not a surprise to us that it's attracted interest from those types of groups,” Singh added.
