Marvel Discovery TSXV:MARV Gold Investing
Marvel Discovery
Project diversity has become one of the resource industry's best strategies for minimizing risks and maximizing exposure to exceptional discoveries associated with mineral exploration projects. Companies with a diversified portfolio covering battery metals, gold, energy and rare earths demonstrate that mining players don't always have to put all their eggs in one basket.
Diversification across world-class mining countries like Canada presents even more exceptional economic upside. Investors can gain exposure from Ontario's prolific multi-million-ounce gold camps while leveraging the country's hottest iron and copper mines in Newfoundland. With the right company, operating a broad portfolio presents the best of all worlds.
One such company is Marvel Discovery (TSXV:MARV), a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring and exploring mineral opportunities across Canada. The company holds a robust project portfolio covering gold, nickel, PGE's rare earth and battery metals.
The company's projects host mineral richness across a wide spectrum of metals and leverage lengthy histories of mining and exploration in prolific jurisdictions, which many are seeing an exciting revitalization of.
Its outstanding gold project portfolio provides the company even more upside potential. Leveraging advantageous positioning in two of Canada's hottest gold mining provinces, its Blackfly and Camping Lake properties in Ontario and Slip and Victoria Lake gold projects in Newfoundland pose exceptional exploration and high-grade gold mineralization opportunities.
Marvel Discovery's flagship Blackfly gold property is located in the historic Atikokan district in Ontario. Blackfly is strategically positioned in one of the province's earliest gold camps and in proximity to Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef gold deposit, which has an estimated open pit mineral reserves of 3.3 million ounces of gold (123.5 million tonnes grading 0.84 g/t gold).
The Slip gold project is 10km west of New Found Gold's (TSXV:NFG) Queensway project, which is "the largest ever consolidation of property within the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt." Recent drill results at Queensway continue to demonstrate its potential to be a significant high-grade gold discovery. Historic work at Slip Gold indicate that both Queensway and Slip Gold are hosted in similar structural settings.
The Victoria Lake gold project in Newfoundland is also another one to highlight from Marvel Discovery's portfolio. Historic work at Victoria Lake has indicated that it is hosted within similar structural settings to Marathon Gold's (TSX:MOZ) Valentine Lake gold deposit, which is only 18 km away. Valentine Lake is poised to be the largest gold mine in Atlantic Canada. Preliminary grab samples from Victoria Lake ranged in value from 15.5 to 24.9 g/t gold and 18.6 g/t to 139.9 g/t silver.
Future plans for the company include the continued development of its flagship Blackfly and secondary Slip gold project. In May 2021, Marvel Discovery received its work permit issued by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines for Blackfly and its 2021 exploration program is ongoing. First results have been reported, with 40 of the 78 samples returned assays greater than 100 ppb gold, and 7 samples graded from 1.00 g/t and up to 2.99 g/t gold.
The company also acquired a significant land position within the Hope Brook Area where it staked 763 claims (19,075 hectares) which are strategically located and contiguous to First Mining Gold and to Sokoman Minerals-Benton joint venture. The new land position is hosted within the Exploits Subzone of the central Newfoundland gold belt. The property is proximal to two major structures linked to significant gold prospects (Cape Ray, Matador Mining) and deposits (Hope Brook, First Mining) in southern Newfoundland.
Marvel Discovery's six rare earth, nickel and uranium projects span across the entire country. This diverse spread of assets includes the Serpent River, Wicheeda North, Duhamel, Uranium City and Ungava & Overtime properties. The projects offer the company excellent exposure to Canada's most prospective base and battery metal mining jurisdictions, including Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Saskatchewan.
Marvel Discovery's Company Highlights
Marvel Discovery is an emerging Canadian mineral exploration company focused on generating, acquiring and exploring opportunities in Canada. The company's robust project portfolio includes ten highly prospective properties covering gold, nickel, PGE's rare earth and battery metals.
Its six rare earth metal, nickel and uranium portfolio spans across Canada, which offers excellent exposure and mineral diversity from the country's most prolific mining jurisdictions, including Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Marvel Discovery holds four highly prospective gold properties, including the flagship Blackfly property in Ontario and the secondary Slip gold project in Newfoundland. All projects prime the company for remarkable gold discovery and development possibilities.
The flagship Blackfly gold property is located in proximity to Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef gold deposit, which has an estimated open pit mineral reserves of 3.3 million ounces of gold.
40 of the 78 samples from the exploration program at Blackfly returned assays greater than 100 ppb gold, and 7 samples graded from 1.00 g/t and up to 2.99 g/t gold.
Marvel Discovery has a strong management team, which combines years of experience and a proven track record in corporate finance, project development and resource-based operations.
Marvel Discovery's Key Projects
Blackfly Gold Property
The Blackfly gold property comprises 64 unpatented mining claims totaling 1,296 hectares near the historical Atikokan gold camp in Ontario, Canada. The property is located along and within the Marmion Lake fault zone, approximately 13.6 kilometers southwest along the strike of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef gold deposit, which has an estimated 208 million tonnes grading 0.67 grams/tonne gold containing 4.5 million ounces of gold
Initial work documented by D.K. Burke in 1941 reported two gold vein shoots to the north and south of the property. The southern shoot averaged 11.9g/t gold over a thickness of 0.33 meters along a strike of 21.6 meters and the northern shoot averaged 13.44g/t gold over 0.27 meters within a 32-meter strike length.
The next step for the Blackfly gold project is to validate the 2012 drilling results through exploration. The first batch of 78 assay results from Blackfly were released in June 2021, and 40 of the 78 samples returned assays greater than 100 ppb gold.
The project presents exciting exploration potential as a high-grade system that has never been drilled to depth. Marvel has the option to earn 100 percent in the project subject to cash and exploration conditions.
Slip Gold Project
The Slip Gold project spans approximately 3,700 hectares in the mining-friendly and resource-rich province of Newfoundland, Canada. The property leverages strategic positioning within the Exploits Subzone, a hotspot for a potential district-scale gold camp. Likewise, Slip Gold boasts similar structural settings to New Found Gold's Queensway project and is tied to Marathon Gold, which is the northern Atlantic's largest gold deposit hovering 4.6 million ounces.
The project hosts gold mineralization within altered intrusive rocks and quartz veins, historically sampling up to 44.5g/t gold at surface level. Additionally, Slip lies along a major regional structural thrust feature known as the Dog Bay Line and displays characteristics and gold values aligned with possible orogenic epizonal-type deposits. This unique geological profile warrants further exploration and development of the tremendous land package.
Marvel plans to begin exploration immediately and conduct the first phase of prospecting along the gold-bearing trends. The company plans to initiate soil and rock geochemistry and structural mapping to narrow down prospective grids for airborne magnetic and TDEM geophysical surveys and later drill targeting with the data collected.
Serpent River Project
The Serpent River project is located in Elliot Lake, Ontario and hosts a 20 million tonne uranium historical resource. This geological profile is consistent with high levels of chromium and nickel as well. With established mining companies nearby, the company is hopeful Serpent River will demonstrate similar high-quality mineralization and development opportunities.
Marvel has spent upwards of CAD$300,000 in VTEM surveying across the property's six-kilometer-long and three-kilometer-wide anomaly. This unique Pecor anomaly is a strong regional magnetic high that has never been drilled at depth.
Wicheeda North Project
The Wicheeda North project is a rare earth elements property that spans 1,444 hectares of claims in the Cariboo mining division, British Columbia. The claim block adjoins the Defense Metals (TSXV:DEFN) Wicheeda rare earth mineral project hosts an indicated 4.9 million tonne rare earth deposit in Prince George, British Columbia.
Past exploration on the property includes airborne geophysical surveying from 2010, which successfully mapped Wicheeda's magnetic and conductive geological properties across a 29.4 square kilometer area. The property remains highly prospective for Marvel.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Nears US$1,850, "Everything Looks Good" in Oil and Gas youtu.be
It was a week of upward momentum for the gold price, which took off mid-week, briefly passing US$1,846 per ounce after going as low as U$1,810 earlier in the period.
The metal was around US$1,830 at the time of this writing on Friday (January 21) afternoon.
Industry commentators have explained gold's increase by pointing to a slew of factors, including weakness in the US dollar and lower 10 year Treasury yields, along with a correction in the NASDAQ Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) that left the index down over 10 percent from its November high.
Of course, inflation continues to loom large, and coming up next week gold market watchers will be eyeing the first Federal Open Market Committee meeting of the year — we'll keep you posted on what we learn.
This week's poll touches on gold, but also brings in two of our other most popular topics here at INN: silver and uranium. We asked our Twitter followers which of those three commodities they think will perform the best in 2022, and by the time voting closed uranium had won by a landslide with 65 percent of the vote.
We'll be asking another question on Twitter next week, so make sure to follow us @INN_Resource and follow me @Charlotte_McL to share your thoughts!
Aside from gold, I had the chance to speak recently with Eric Nuttall of Ninepoint Partners about oil and gas, which we don't often get to hear about on our channel.
Eric did a great job of explaining the supply and demand fundamentals at play in the market, and said he thinks oil prices will be "well in excess" of US$80 per barrel this year, with a shot at making it to US$100.
Interestingly, he said the biggest struggle for him in evaluating companies right now is that everything looks good — however, he does favor small Canadian oil and gas companies.
"My biggest challenge is everything looks good — large caps look good, small caps look good. Oil looks good, natural gas looks good. Services look good, offshore drilling looks good — everything looks good" — Eric Nuttall, Ninepoint Partners
Several commenters on our YouTube channel wondered about specific stock selections from Eric, which we didn't have a chance to cover in the interview. However, it's worth noting that he manages the Ninepoint Energy Fund, whose top holdings as of December 31, 2021, can be viewed online.
To close out, I want to share a quick note on INN's outlook content. At the end of every year, our reporters reach out to experts in the many industries we cover, from gold to lithium to cannabis and more. We then compile the information these market watchers share to give our audience a look at the year ahead.
This week we published our diamond and graphite outlooks. I've always had a soft spot for diamonds, and the experts INN spoke to believe the industry is looking much stronger after 2020 losses caused by COVID-19 — innovations in online sales in particular have helped prices rebound.
Electric vehicles are a key part of the graphite story since it's used in lithium-ion battery anodes, and analysts advise keeping an eye on any shifts in the market share for natural graphite vs. synthetic graphite.

Kibali Delivers Another Stellar Performance and Expects to Grow Its Mineral Reserves Net of Depletion
All amounts expressed in US dollars
Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD) (TSX:ABX) The Kibali gold mine produced a total of 812,152 ounces 1 well within guidance for 2021, and expects to increase its mineral reserves net of depletion for the third successive year, maintaining its plus 10-year life as one of Barrick Gold Corporation's Tier One 2 assets.
At a media briefing here, Barrick president and chief executive Mark Bristow noted that this performance, which grew steadily stronger during the year, was achieved with no lost time injuries during the last quarter. Like all Barrick's mines worldwide, Kibali retained its ISO 45001 safety and ISO 14001 environmental accreditations.
At the same time, Kibali continued to lead the group's clean energy drive with power sourced from its three continuously upgraded hydropower stations supported by new back-up battery technology.
"Kibali's performance was supported by reinforced Covid-19 protocols to deal with the fourth wave of the virus. The mine worked closely with the DRC's health authorities and the provincial government to source vaccines and to date has partially vaccinated 60% of its workforce, with 43% of the workforce fully vaccinated," Bristow said.
"It also strengthened its local business partnerships to build a sustainable economy in the region. During Q4 it spent $40.6 million with local contractors and suppliers, bringing the total since the start of Kibali to $2.1 billion. To date, Kibali has invested some $3.7 billion in the DRC in the form of taxes, permits, infrastructure, salaries and payments to local partners."
During the fourth quarter Kibali paid a dividend of $170 million to shareholders of Barrick, AngloGold Ashanti and government parastatal, SOKIMO, bringing the total distribution for the year to $200 million. Bristow said Barrick and the Congolese authorities were working together on a program to release cash for the repayment of offshore loans.
During the quarter Kibali launched the Garamba Alliance, a biodiversity partnership with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) designed to preserve this World Heritage park through anti-poaching actions and other conservation initiatives. This partnership is also designed to secure a sustainable economic future for the local community surrounding the park.
Looking ahead, Bristow said underground drilling at the KCD orebody was defining a new high-grade lode above the base of the shaft infrastructure. This was an exciting discovery which could add an entirely new orebody to the existing KCD series of orebodies.

Goldplay Mining Inc. (TSXV:AUC)(OTCQB:AUCCF)(Frankfurt:9FY), (the "Company" or "Goldplay"), is pleased to announce results from its 2021 field program on the Goldstorm South Project ("Goldstorm South" or the "Project"), formerly referred to as the Niut Mountain Project, located within 4 km from road access and 20 km southeast of White Saddle Air Services Ltd.'s permanent helicopter base in the western Chilcotin District of southwestern British Columbia
discovery of Travler Gold vein system, assaying 21.8 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") with 20.6 g/t silver ("Ag") from grab sample
three gold showings now known along a mostly unexplored, open 2.6 km extent of a subsidiary structure to the regional Tchaikazan fault system, an extension of the system associated with mineralization in the Bralorne gold camp
0.44 to 1.77% copper ("Cu") from six grab samples collected within a 260m area (yielding an average of 0.71% Cu), confirming mineralization at Fly porphyry prospect
anomalous copper ± molybdenum in talus fines suggests extension of the Fly prospect 750m to north
drill permit application submitted.
Catalin Kilofliski, Goldplay Mining President & CEO stated: "We are excited about our new gold-silver discovery along a mostly unexplored and highly prospective structure, and the confirmation of, and suggested continuity to, significant porphyry copper mineralization at Goldstorm South. We are anticipating an exciting 2022 exploration program on both our Goldstorm South and Big Frank Projects, based on the new discoveries made during our initial evaluation programs. A drill permit application for Goldstorm South has been submitted and a NI 43-101 Technical report has also been commissioned and will be available shortly."
The Project was optioned by Goldplay in 2021 based on the presence of favourable alteration and extensive gossans with known porphyry copper style mineralization (primarily the 1970's era Fly prospect), and gold bearing vein type mineralization (Harvey Gold, Fly Creek). This was quickly followed by an early September two day field program consisting of an initial examination and evaluation of the Fly porphyry prospect, the Niut Mountain, Harvey Gold, Fly (Creek) and Downs showings and the northwest extension of the Harvey Gold showing with the collection of 63 rock and 100 soil (talus fine) samples by 4 geologists across the 8 km long Project. Sample locations with thematically plotted gold and copper results are shown on Figures 1 and 2, with significant results from Goldplay's 2021 program labelled.
Orogenic Gold Zones (Harvey Gold, Fly Creek, new Travler Discovery)
The evaluation of the north-northwest extent of the Harvey Gold showing along the West Niut fault and follow up of quartz vein creek float, which returned 1.99 g/t gold ("Au") from a 1987 sample, led to the 2021 discovery of the Travler showing, which comprises an open 70 by 50m zone of quartz vein and stockwork mineralization in talus blocks, host by potassically altered quartz diorite about 1.2 km north-northwest of the Harvey Gold showing. Six rock samples (subcrop and float) collected from the showing ranged from 0.201 to 21.8 g/t Au, yielding an average of 6.16 g/t Au, accompanied by anomalous silver, lead and antimony. Goldplay's 2021 program also outlined anomalous gold in talus fines extending for 700m along the banks of Travler Creek and as a 300m cluster approximately 300m to the northwest of the Travler showing.
The Travler, Harvey Gold and Fly Creek vein/stockwork/breccia showings on the Project are all located along an open ended 2.6 km ? long trend and appear to be related to the West Niut fault, much of which remains largely unexplored. The West Niut fault is considered a subsidiary of the Tchaikazan fault, which represents the northwesterly extension of the fault system associated with mineralization within the economically important, orogenic type Bralorne gold camp (located about 140 km southeast of the Project and renowned as one of the highest grade, longest producing gold mines in British Columbia (https://taliskerresources.com/discover-bralorne-our-flagship/).
Porphyry Copper Molybdenum Zone (Fly Porphyry Prospect)
Samples by Goldplay along Fly Ridge in 2021 returned 0.44 to 1.17% Cu within a 260m area (yielding an average of 0.71% Cu) from the six rock grab samples collected, and returned an average of 0.105% Cu over 400m from ten consecutive talus fines, confirming significant copper mineralization at the Fly prospect. Anomalous copper of 395 to 698 ppm ± elevated molybdenum from Goldplay's 2021 talus fine sampling also extends for 200m along the southern bank of Travler Creek, about 750m north of the Fly prospect. Additionally the private report from the only drilling completed on the Project (1973 diamond drilling of 679.7m in five holes) was located. Previously only incomplete references to the program were in the public record. It was found that the entire core from holes VF-2 and VF-3 intersected significant anomalous intercepts of 0.081% Cu over 134.1m and 0.065% Cu over 133.8m, respectively comprising a 75 by 150m north-northwest trending zone, open in all directions.
The discovery of the Travler showing, the confirmation of significant porphyry copper mineralization and alteration at the Fly prospect (with evidence of continuity along trend) and the indication of additional porphyry style alteration (Niut Mountain) during the brief 2021 exploration program attests to the excellent potential for new discoveries on the Project.
Maps are available at the end of the news release and on the Company's website.

All samples were sent to MS Analytical Laboratories ("MSALabs") in Langley, British Columbia for sample preparation and analysis. At the laboratory, rock sample preparation involved drying, fine crushing to better than 70% passing minus 2 mm, then pulverizing a 250g split to better that 85% passing 75 microns (PRP 910). Soil sample preparation involved drying and screening to minus 80 mesh (PRP-757). For the rocks the fine fraction was analyzed for gold by fire assay on a 30g aliquot with an atomic absorption spectroscopy ("AAS") finish (FAS-111), and for 48 additional elements by four acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma ("ICP") - mass spectroscopy ("MS") ultra trace level analysis (IMS-230). The fine fractions of the soils were analyzed for 39 elements, including gold, by aqua regia digestion and ICP-atomic emission spectroscopy ("AES")/MS ultra trace level analysis on a 20g aliquot (IMS-128). Quality control samples were regularly analyzed by the laboratory and include blanks, certified reference materials, and duplicates of crushed and pulverized material. MSALabs is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited for the procedures performed.

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: RPX) ("Red Pine" or the "Company") is pleased to report drilling results from its 2021 drilling program. Hole SD-21-308 discovered significant mineralization 140 m down-dip of the resource boundary in the northern part of the Surluga deposit in the Jubilee Shear Zone. This new zone, starting at approximately 240 metres vertical depth and named the Surluga North Discovery, has the potential to expand the current resource of the Surluga Deposit at the Wawa Gold Project.
Highlights of the on-going drilling program ( Figure 1 )
SD-21-308 intersected a mineralized envelope covering 27.26 metres estimated true width (TW) in the Jubilee Shear Zone:
18.21 g/t gold over 1.95 metres (TW)
3.90 g/t gold over 4.47 metres (TW) including 18.14 g/t gold over 0.82 metre (TW)
Visible gold has been observed in the following holes with assays pending:
In veins and shear zones adjacent to the Jubilee Shear Zone in SD-21-309 and SD-21-313
In the Surluga South discovery (Jubilee Shear Zone South) in SD-21-312A
In the Nyman Shear Zone hole DG-22-317
"Our on-going exploration program testing the southern and northern extensions of the Jubilee Shear Zone continue to indicate that significant zones of gold mineralization remain to be discovered down-dip and beyond the footprint of the existing resources. Hole SD-21-308 opened a potential extension of gold mineralization beyond the current boundary of the Surluga Deposit resource which is less than 250 metres below surface.
With four drills turning on-site our exploration program can now test in parallel the Surluga South and North discoveries and the Darwin-Grace-Nyman target." – Quentin Yarie, President and CEO of Red Pine Exploration.
Figure 1 accompanying this announcement is available at:
https://prdesk.globenewswire.com/ResourceLibrary/ResourceLibrary/GetDynamicThumbnailContentContent/?resourceId=35681e6b-4bd5-484a-8bc6-08da61274840&maxHeight=280&maxWidth=280
As part of the Wawa Gold Project's on-going drilling program, Red Pine is testing the northern and southern extensions of the Surluga Deposit, and the extension of the Minto Mine Deposit beyond the footprints of their respective resources. One drill rig is active at the northern end of the Surluga Deposit and two drill rigs are active at the southern end of the Surluga Deposit. The southern drill rigs are also concurrently testing the Minto Mine Shear Zone. The fourth drill rig is currently testing the Grace-Nyman shear system near the historic Darwin-Grace Mine.
Drilling at the northern end of the Surluga Deposit
At the northern end of the Surluga Deposit, drilling indicated that the Jubilee Shear Zone extends down-dip of the current limit of the inferred resource. This is supported by the results from holes SD-21-299 and SD-21-301 that confirm the extension of gold mineralization in the Jubilee Shear Zone. The significant gold intersection in SD-21-308 further indicates that shallow and significant mineralization may be discovered in the unexplored Jubilee Shear Zone down-dip of the resource. Drilling in 2022 will continue to test the Jubilee Shear Zone to define the size and attributes of the zone discovered in SD-21-308 and will also test for other undiscovered zones of mineralization in that area.
Drilling in the Surluga South and Sadowski gold zones
At the southern end of the Surluga Deposit, holes SD-21-305A and SD-21-307 successfully intersected the Jubilee shear over 500 metres away from the boundary of the Surluga Resource.
The southern drill rigs also continue to extend the footprints of the Minto Vein that is forming the Minto Mine Gold deposit. The Minto Vein, with variable intensity of mineralization, was successfully intersected in holes SD-21-309, 312A, 313 and 319. The assays for these Minto Vein intersections remain pending.

TDG Gold Corp. Samples Up To 32.9 g/t And 27.6 g/t Gold at Mets, Toodoggone, B.C.
TDG Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDG) (the "Company" or "TDG") is pleased to announce the results of the 2021 exploration program at its former producing high-grade gold Mets Mining Lease located in the road accessible Toodoggone Production Corridor of north-central, B.C. Highlights include grab samples yielding 32.90 grams per tonne ("gt") gold ("Au") and 27.61 gt Au collected from locations of known historical drill collars (Table 1
TDG's Mets Mining Lease consists of 200 hectares located 23 kilometres ("km") by road from TDG's Baker Mine (Figure 1). A summary of historical exploration work completed at Mets was published by TDG in its news release dated May 19, 2021 (here). TDG has recompiled 7,944 metres ("m") of diamond drilling of the 8,784 m reported to have been drilled historically, along with review of the 2,622 m of historical trenching. Historical drill highlights include DDH MT86-08 which intersected 25.9 m of 9.52 g/t Au and MT86-05 intersecting 46.4 m of 3.57 g/t Au (including 11.8 m of 13.93 g/t Au).
Figure 1. Location of TDG's road accessible Mets Mining Lease 23 km northwest of TDG's Baker Mine.
In 2021, TDG completed a ground-based magnetometer survey consisting of 25 line-km that has highlighted several trends (Figure 2), in addition to geological grab sampling over historical collar locations (Figure 3).
Ground Magnetometer Survey Results
Using GEMS Overhauser 19W magnetometer units, a total of 25 line-km of ground-based magnetometer surveys were completed in 2021 on Mets. Magnetic data imagery highlighted several trends, interpreted by Company geologists to coincide with the historically trenched and drilled tested mineralization trend, defined by quartz ± quartz-barite veining, is part of a gold-silver bearing low sulphidation epithermal vein.
Historical trenching and drilling coincide with the A-Zone / Mets Structure. The structure is characterized as a magnetic low lineament in the 2021 magnetic survey. Figure 2 displays the respective historical drill intercepts with respect to the 2021 Total Magnetic Intensity ("MAG TMI").
Figure 2. Mets Historic Drilling And 2021 Magnetic TMI Imagery.
Grab Sampling Results
Select grab sampling was completed by Company geologists while completing general reconnaissance of the historically producing Mets property. Samples were selected based on the proximity to historical trenches and drillhole collars, targeting the quartz ± quartz-barite veins. Highlights include grab samples yielding 32.90 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") and 27.61 g/t Au.
Table 1: 2021 Mets Rock Sample Results - Gold ("Au"), Silver ("Ag").

Ag (g/t)
Figure 3. Mets Historic Drilling and 2021 Rock Sampling Results.
Select Grab Sampling: Data for geological field samples include: mineralogy, texture, alteration, and/or structure, and is located using a Garmin GPS64. Field notes are recorded in a field book and/or tablet computer. A rock hammer is used to separate the sample from its exposure and placed into a polyurethane bag with unique sample tag is place in the respective bag and secured using a zip-tie, and subsequently placed in security-sealed rice bags. The respective samples are then shipped as a batch to a third-party lab.
Magnetometer: The survey was conducted using GSM-19W Overhauser "Walking" magnetometers and a stationary GSM-19T Proton "Base Station" unit. "Walking" magnetometers recorded in situ magnetic field intensity while the "Base Station" recorded diurnal variations in the regional magnetic field during the survey. Positioning data was provided by handheld Garmin GPS64 units which were carried by each instrument operator in the field.
Following the completion of the survey, a set of corrections and Quality Assurance / Quality Control ("QA/QC") procedures were applied to the magnetic data, including diurnal correction, low-pass noise reduction, and individual operator leveling. After this QA/QC process was completed, the data was interpolated using industry-standard Golden Surfer 12 software. After interpolation, high-resolution Total Magnetic Intensity ("TMI") imagery was exported as a georeferenced TIFF image with matching contour shapefile.
Samples were submitted to SGS Canada's ("SGS") laboratory facility in Burnaby, B.C., following a chain of shipping custody from TDG to SGS, for preparation and analysis. The SGS facility is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard for gold assays, and all analytical methods include internal quality control materials at set frequencies with established data acceptance criteria. As a result of SGS' rigorous internal QA/QC protocols, TDG did not submit external (blind) QA/QC materials, using a 'fit for purpose' approach with the analytical data. Samples were analyzed following the procedures summarized in Table 2, where more information about methodology can be found on the SGS website, in the analytical guide (here).

Should You Be Eating More Eggs?
Everyday the list of things we should or should not consume changes at lightning speed. What you should eat one day, may kill you the next! However, there have been two things that has been a constant on the list of things to limit: eggs and butter.
It has been more than 50 years since Americans have been told that cholesterol causes heart disease. For this reason, nutrition experts, cardiologists and family practice physicians have advised their patients to limit egg consumption and to avoid butter. It's also why statin-type cholesterol-lowering drugs have been billion-dollar bonanzas for the pharmaceutical industry.
Even today, after 5 decades, many people still think of eggs as a sinful indulgence. The dairy section of our grocery stores are filled with low-fat or no fat yogurts, skim milk, and cheese and egg substitutes. And a lot of health professionals are still telling their patients to ration foods containing cholesterol.
A new study from Finland American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, just might rock the boat enough to change our eating habits. The researchers in Kuopio have followed more than 1000 healthy middle-aged men for over 20 years. At the beginning of the study in the 1980s the men filled out detailed records of their eating habits.
After reviewing the results from this study, eggs and cholesterol both have been exonerated. The investigators found no connection between egg consumption and heart disease. There was also no link between cholesterol in the diet and atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries. It was found that as much as an egg day or moderate-to-high cholesterol consumption did not appear to increase the likelihood of heart attack or stroke among those studied.
What is even more surprising is now there are studies surfacing suggesting that people who eat more eggs have larger, less dense artery-clogging LDL cholesterol particles, Metabolism, March 2013. Other research demonstrates that egg consumption raises good HDL cholesterol, lowers inflammation and improves blood sugar control, Lipids, June 2013.
It takes the nutrition world a long time to reconsider such long-established policies. This is because "experts" are just like you and me. They do not want to look foolish or look as if they flip flop on long-held beliefs and recommendations. But American policy markers are finally beginning to catch up with science. After years of strict prohibitions on high-cholesterol foods, especially eggs, the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans no longer limit cholesterol intake to 300 mg per day. They still recommend that we should eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible.
Many health professionals will find it challenging to accept the new data from the Finnish Heart Study. However, the writing has been on the wall for quite a few years that evidence supporting dietary cholesterol as the source of heart disease is weak.
Despite eggs and dietary cholesterol being seen differently in the community, saturated fat remains forbidden. The cardiology community is still convinced that this fat will clog arteries and the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines frown upon "sat fat".
So, the very foods we have been told over and over to eat for decades to protect our hears have actually been causing coronary heart disease.
As if the Canadian analysis weren't enough, there is now a study polished from the Netherlands Cohort in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. In this study, over 35,000 Dutch men and women were recruited between 1993 and 1997 and followed for 12 years.
The more saturated fat that these people consumed, especially from dairy products, the less coronary artery disease they experienced. Highly processed carbohydrates found in bread, pizza, pasta, cookies and cakes were linked to a higher risk of heart disease.
The bottom line is, the advice we have all been given for the past 50+ years has been turned upside down.

My brother, Basheer, woke early, 6 a.m.. He walked out onto our verandah and looked over our neighborhood of stucco apartments knitting courtyard to courtyard, winding down a hillside to the court where the sounds of children's voice already filled the air. He covertly lit a cigarette. He chose not to look out at the dusty morning light; instead, he faced the door to our kitchen. I broke his solitude. "Up so early," I chided Basheer as I came onto the verandah smiling and excited. This was Basheer's graduation day. Basheer smiled and put out his cigarette. "Better not let Mom catch me with this," he said. I laughed and went over to give my only brother a hug. "You are happy, right?" I said.
"Yes," Basheer answered.
Today was the climax or the beginning, depending on how you look at it, of the family's ambition for this son among daughters. In a few hours, we would travel with him to Birzeit University where he would graduate with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. Basheer had been reveling in his success, his imaginative mind seemingly fixed on the complexity of road building, concrete stress testing, water systems, irrigation. All lectures attended and finished, all exams passed, all grades recorded, Basheer was about graduate.
Gone, for the moment at least, was his preoccupation with cooking. "Are you sorry you listened to the family and went into engineering instead of becoming a chef," I asked, concerned that pressure from others would leave him unsatisfied?
Basheer didn't answer directly. He said, "Today is the second most important day in a man's life. Today, I say goodby to school and hello to the world. Next comes the most important day, the day I marry. I better make myself look good, because the pictures taken today will tell who I qualify to attract tomorrow." He beamed at me.
Before I could respond, the nephews, who live in our family compound, appeared pushing their way toward their hero. Basheer caught the first to reach him. "Up you go," he said lifting our four-year-old over his head. "I have a surprise for you." Basheer vanished into the house and returned with his cap and gown. Without a word, he dressed little Suhaib in his graduation gown. Next, he plunked his tasseled cap on the head of five-year-old Hamada.
"There," he said, "You two are the graduates. Here, let me take your pictures. Then, everyone will think we have geniuses in our family. You won't even have to go to school," he teased. "We'll prove that you've already graduated."
At noon, Basheer ironed his gown himself, allowing no one to assist him.
Then, he disappeared. It seemed hours before he returned, but when he did, he was a new Basheer. His hair slick with lotion, his face perfectly shaved, his gradation gift, a new suit, elegant with maroon tie and dress shoes. My mother and father, the nephews, all of us stood in adoring attention, all smiles. We were aglow.
Birzeit University's white stone buildings almost glittered as we made our way up a steep hill to the campus. The buildings seemed to radiate the pride we felt. Once in the auditorium, all the participants I could see from my seat were just as gratified as we were. I surmised that the happiness I saw all around me was a reprieve from, even a negation of, the power of occupation. A friend is always telling me that happiness is good.
At Birzeit University amid the reality of success, I understood what she meant. This was not hedonistic hilarity some equate with pleasure; this was head-held-high achievement. This was the mindful happiness that can only come when one has gone beyond all expectations, reduced all detriments to mindless rubble and made it.
Basheer's graduating class is the 26th group to pass beyond the portals of Birzeit University, the first and most prestigious of the 12 major institutions of higher education established in the Israeli named Occupied Territories, our Palestine. Graduations have been held at Birzeit since 1976 in spite of Israel's continual harassment including closing the institution as much as 60 percent of the time in the 80s and 90s.
Like the students who attend the university, Birzeit's very survival attests to the indomitable will of our people. For 19 of the university's 49 year existence, Birzeit's President, Founder and native of the area, Dr. Hanna Nasir, a graduate of Purdue University in the US, lived in exile. Those who work in university administration in the US would be in awe of the cooperative effort faculty and administrators maintained to keep Birzeit going through intifada, Dr. Nasir's banishment, the deaths of countless students who cared more about their country than their own lives or were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
As the daughter of an academician, I know that administrators everywhere must handle in-house politics. Imagine having to deal with all the standard complaints and problems of a university and manage an opposition government's imposed curricular restrictions, curfews that interrupt and destroy class time, no money to pay faculty and staff, air raids, Israeli Defense Forces, ditches dug to hamper coming and going, endless check point harassment of students and faculty alike.
Truant officers in the US who chase down wayward youths hiding from the education mandated by their government would marvel at Palestinian students' efforts to get to school on the West Bank and Gaza. This is especially true at Birzeit where the Israeli government often focuses its most ruthless offensives. It's nothing for students who live less than 5 miles from the campus to travel over fields and through people's yards taking hours instead of minutes to arrive at their destination. Nowadays, Birzeit has to shut down at 2 p.m. because students and faculty must arrive home by dark or risk being shot, trespassers on their own land.
In America, those who have not been to a war-torn country like ours have a hard time imagining what academic life here is like. Having lived with an American faculty family, I can imagine professors waking up early in the morning, eager to get to the university for some "contemplation time" before students arrive for their morning classes, driving out of the driveway only to find that all the roads leading to and from their homes have been blocked with mountains of dirt or ditches. For us, such roadblocks are frequent compliments of Israeli paranoia about security. It's no wonder that the physical stamina of many Palestinian educators would put their American colleagues to shame. Our mentors have few state-of-the-art gymnasiums, but they know how to walk and walk fast.
My student friends, even in places as near as Tel Aviv, would have a hard time believing the frustration of being a student on the West Bank. Imagine studying for weeks, getting up early to arrive in time for one last review before a final exam and having to miss it, and maybe a whole semester of work, because a check point guard decides that "this kid is not going toget through today" and that's it. To graduate from Birzeit means that you not only have to master the material and pass the tests, but you must risk your life simply to get there and to get home at the end of the day–everyday of every term of every year.
There are no gentleman's "C's" at Birzeit, let alone an easy "A." Very few Palestinian students have ever heard of American university grade-inflation, a surprise to me when I studied in America. One parent told me, "If I have to pay $30,000 a year for Tommy to go to college, that college just better get him through and get him ready for graduate school."
Another person told me, "In the future, a bachelor's degree will not be sufficient for the information age. Everyone will need an advanced degree. We have to be sure our students make the grade so they can get into good graduate programs."
At Birzeit, even if you've had nothing but exhausting struggle to get to school and to get home every day for four years, you've still got to meet stiff academic requirements or you don't graduate. Missing a class because an Israeli check point guard hit you on the head with his gun butt is no excuse for not having read the lesson of the day. Having studied abroad and here, I'm amazed at the hard standards required of us. Through tough academic standards our teachers inadvertently teach us to cope with the life Israelis' impose on us. No matter how hard the subject, no matter how long it takes us to graduate (sometimes 10 years for a four-year course), we Palestinian students leave the university knowing that we have what it takes to succeed in spite of occupation. Getting into to Birzeit is like getting into an ivy league school in the US and once in, a student is on the Palestinian fast track, even if that track seems like a plodders path rather than race track.
Basheer has a number of friends who came to Birzeit from Gaza, less than 50 miles from the campus. These students cannot invite their families to see them perform in a play, tour the campus or help them move into a dorm or apartment. Why? Most Gazans are not allowed to enter the West Bank. Students can rarely, if ever, go home at holiday times. Everyone knows that it's a privilege to be at Birzeit. Our students give up a great deal for the honor. For many, going home becomes a dream. Home may be only 50 miles by road; for Gazans it is thousands of miles by Israeli rules."
As Basheer passes down the aisle on the way to receive his diploma, he glances over at his family and winks. He gives us a thumbs-up. As he does,, I notice television cameras, more than those usually present. What's this, I wonder, Israeli surveillance, even at graduation?
The ceremony ends with a graduate hat toss and families rush to hug their graduates and take the obligatory photos. "What's with the cameras?" I ask Basheer.
"Oh, that," he answers nonchalantly, "that's so the families in Gaza can see the graduation in their camps." He sees a friend and turns away to shake hands and offer congratulation.
"So the families in Gaza can see their children's graduation," I say to myself imagining the pride and the joy that will chase away this particular dreary day in a refugee camp, made more like a prison by Israel's determination to destroy us. Cramped and unsanitary, the Gazan camps represent occupation of the already occupied. I imagine the pain of the families who could not come to be with their students on this special day. I know the frustration of the students. Still, Birzeit thought of a way to make things better through closed circuit television. "And the Israelis think they can bring us to our knees." I smile to myself and feel a rush of joy. I understand the meaning of real happiness even in this time of catastrophe.

long beach fire department
Long Beach Fire Chief Xavier Espino announced his retirement on Thursday after 36 years in the department and four years in the top job. His last day will be Dec. 30.
"I have been blessed to serve as a firefighter for the Long Beach Fire Department for nearly 37 years; the past four years as the Fire Chief," Espino said in a statement. "It has been my honor to protect the residents who call Long Beach home, the workforce who keep Long Beach running, and the visitors who enjoy our beautiful City."
Espino's time with the department included notable achievements, such as leading the department to become one of the first cities on the West Coast to launch a Mobile Stroke Program and launching the first dual Fire Academy in the Fire Department's history.
Espino's announcement, though, comes as the department faces pressure to cut its budget even as firefighters already report feeling "broken" by the demands of their job, according to a report the city released last month after the Post reported its findings.
In response to the report, Espino told the Post that covering vacant positions is currently a major strain on the department's personnel, but he was hopeful that a new class of paramedics will ease the burden. Upcoming academies could provide an influx of new firefighters and help reduce the amount of overtime personnel are being forced to work, something Espino said he never had to endure when he joined the ranks nearly 37 years ago.
"Their busy today would probably have had me retiring a long time ago," he told the Post last month.
Still, Espino said at the time, "The situation as it stands today is not good, but I do see light at the end of the tunnel."
Last month, the city also reached an agreement with the Long Beach Firefighters Association that includes pay increases to help attract and retain recruits.
City officials on Thursday applauded Espino and his leadership.
"Chief Espino spent his entire career to serving our community," City Manager Tom Modica said in a statement. "We are extremely grateful for his leadership, professionalism and ability to motivate personnel even during the most challenging of circumstances. I wish him all the best during his well-deserved retirement and quality time with his family."
Mayor Robert Garcia echoed that sentiment.
"Chief Espino embodies what it means to be a leader in public service," Garcia said in a statement. "He has led our Fire Department with honor, integrity and a deep commitment to the safety of our residents. We wish him well as he journeys into retirement."
A statement from the city said information on the selection process for the next fire chief "will be announced in the near future."

St. John tells how on two important occasions, when Jesus worked his first miracle and when he hung dying on the cross, he addressed Mary with the solemn and respectful Hebrew title, "Woman." No doubt St. John intends us to think of the Woman of Genesis.
The first occasion was the wedding at Cana, where Jesus, Mary and the Apostles were guests. The wine ran out and Mary drew Jesus' attention to it. He replied: "Woman, what have you to do with me?" - or, alternatively translated - "Why do you trouble me with that? My hour has not yet come."
In St. John's Gospel the "hour" of Jesus means the time of his death and resurrection. This remark implies that at Cana it was not Mary's business to be Christ's agent in helping humankind, but it would be when his "hour" had come, that is, after his death and resurrection.
However, he worked the miracle at her unspoken request, and did not do it grudgingly. He changed water from six large jars into wine, and it was better wine than they had had before (John 2, 1-11).
"When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman, behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple, 'Behold, your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home" (John 19, 26-27).
Jesus wanted St. John to look after her when he was gone, particularly as she had no other children. But he meant more than that. Mary is the second "Woman" through whom life is to come to the world. She is the woman whose offspring crushes the Serpent's head. St. John is the representative of all the Christians who are her children, since they belong to the Body of Christ, the Church.


There is this huge park with many walks very close to our current place of residence. Hence on a free weekend, with good weather we decided to explore it further. The park - known as hornsby park is more popular with the mountain bikers for it has multiple biking trails going through hilly regions and with increasing difficulty. There are also several walks going through the hills and valley - known as the old man's valley.
The route was indeed very nice. Going through the jungles and meeting few fellow walkers. After some meandering, we came across the steps which lead into the old man's valley. I did not count them exactly but i guess there were approx. 75-80 steps to reach the park below. On reaching down, there was a clearing where many families and kids had come for a weekend picnic. There is information on further walks which include a lake walk and a walk all the way to the harbor. Definitely noted this for further trips.


I love to eat rice, as well as my husband. Since, I started to want to shift more to a whole grain or brown rice more often for our diet, I do sometimes use as a side dish or salad for us both. But still we love to eat white rice. I just realized I can not eliminate white rice from our diet completely, but we can eat a bit less.
Instead of just a simple steamed (cooked) rice, I often make this rice. It's so easy to make because I can put any veggie, meat...aay ingredients I wish to use into the rice cooker together and press the start button. That's it. After 40min, it's all done and ready to eat.
This is called "Takikomi-Gohan". Soy sauce, sake,(yes, sake!) and salt are usually used to make this dish and added to one's taste. And for the ingredients, Gobo(burdock root), carrots, shiitake mushroom, Abura-age(fried tofu), chicken, those are commonly used, but can vary at each house with a variety of ingredients which is used. It's like a Japanese style paella.
For my version, I always add Hijiki Seaweed and Kiriboshi Daikon(Dried Shredded Daikon). Both great source for fiber and calcium.
I would like to create a good alternative recipe with more of these great Japanese ingredients and introduce it western kitchens. Finally my cooking class is coming up in September, and I definitely will use these ingredients in the class, too.

Home Business HIGHER SICKNESS ABSENCE RATE AT LARGER EMPLOYERS THAN SMALLER FIRMS
HIGHER SICKNESS ABSENCE RATE AT LARGER EMPLOYERS THAN SMALLER FIRMS
Unknown 8/10/2018 02:29:00 pm Business,
By contrast, micro businesses with between one and nine staff see their employees take 2.8 days of sick leave a year, a survey of 500 HR managers – 100 of whom worked at larger organisations – found.
Group Risk Development (GRiD), which represents the group risk protection sector and commissioned the survey, found 55% of larger businesses thought they had a higher sickness absence rate than their industry average, with a quarter putting this down to ineffective absence management.
Five per cent of the HR managers polled said they did not record or monitor staff absence at all, though this was more of an issue among SMEs (6%) than organisations with more than 250 staff (1%).
"Keeping tabs on every single member of staff at a larger firm is by no means an easy feat – particularly for companies whose staff travel between or work in multiple locations," said Katharine Moxham, spokesperson for GRiD.
"However, many of these companies may well already have group risk products in place whereby they can access support for individuals and the organisation as a whole, without requiring any additional expertise or spend."
GRiD suggested that employers could benefit from intervening on the very first day an employee is on sick leave to ensure they are supported through their illness.
But, it warned, employees may take sick leave for a combination of issues, each of which might need managing in a different way. Employees with musculoskeletal conditions might benefit from fast access to physiotherapy, for example, while those with mental health conditions might need to talk to a therapist or take advantage of an employee assistance programme to help with issues such as relationship problems or addiction.
Moxham urged employers ensure all their staff knew about the help on offer to them and look at how line managers can advise staff on where they can find better support.
She said: "No single organisation can expect to be an expert on every one of the issues its staff faces but, via the right group risk product, they can provide access to help, which can enable people to stay at or return to work, thus earning a salary and retaining a sense of normality."
Office for National Statistics figures last month showed that the average number of sick days taken by employees fell to 4.1 in 2017 – the lowest number on record. However, the CIPD warned that this could indicate an increased prevalence of presenteeism.

Hamilton Hotel and HBO unveiled an exclusive "VEEP" experience today that pays homage to the seven-season Emmy award-winning series in a fun and oh-so-Selina-Meyer way. It all begins on the 12th floor where notable cast photographs from multiple seasons adorn the hallway leading to a new one-bedroom Selina Meyer Presidential Suite. Once inside, guests enter President Meyers' brownstone residence—decked out in original set furniture and props, including Meyers' bar cabinet, a console table and a writing table—as well as memorabilia and home mementos.
"With VEEP coming to a close this season we were looking at ways to celebrate Selina Meyer, and a presidential suite seemed like such a perfect way to salute her legacy," added Yauny Wheaton, director of consumer marketing at HBO.
Hotel guests who book the suite will receive a complimentary copy of Selina Meyer's autobiography, "A Woman First: First Woman," a "revealing and personal memoir from one of our most beloved former presidents," according to Hamilton Hotel, as well as a sheet of commemorative Selina Meyer presidential stamps.
The "VEEP" Suite can be booked for your meeting or event starting March 28.

They recommend applying liberally to the armpits and nether regions but at $10 per stick, you might want to save it for special occasions like when you're not around people or animals, especially animals.
"Don't explore the wilderness without a firearm—we initially weren't going to sell in Alaska where there are a lot of bears—and wear at your own risk." Lefkow warns customers.
