Darnley Bay Announces Increased Size of Davidson Molybdenum-Tungsten Deposit
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/17/16 -- Darnley Bay Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: DBL) ("Darnley Bay" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an updated mineral resource estimate for the Davidson molybdenum and tungsten property near Smithers, British Colombia. The estimate was undertaken by independent consultants, Jim Cuttle, P.Geo. and Gary Giroux, P.Eng. Since the last resource estimate on the property in 2007 (also by Gary Giroux), a previous operator drilled 23 additional holes and these have been incorporated into the new resource estimate.
Total drilling on the property to date is 72,815 metres in 218 drill holes, dating back to the 1950s. All of the drill core has been securely stored and is available to Darnley Bay. Giroux and Cuttle estimate the following Measured and Indicated Resources ("M&I") at a 0.20% and 0.28% MoS2 cut-off:
The mineral resource estimate represents significant increases in Measured and Indicated ("M&I") resources of molybdenum and tungsten over those of the previous mineral resource estimates for the Davidson project:
The report recommends that a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) be commissioned to determine the cost of producing molybdenum and tungsten from the Davidson property. Two cut-offs are highlighted based on two possible underground mining scenarios. A 0.20% MoS2 cut-off might correspond to a bulk mining approach with onsite processing facilities while a cut-off of 0.28% MoS2 might reflect a more selective direct shipping alternative of hauling ore to another mill for processing.
The Company confirms that it will file a technical report on the Davidson Property within 45 days of this press release to support the above disclosed Davidson mineral resource estimate.
Darnley Bay entered into an agreement with Roda Holdings Inc. in March, 2016, whereby Roda granted Darnley Bay the option to earn a 100% interest in the property in exchange for: (i) Darnley Bay made a payment to Roda in the amount of $50,000 (ii) a further payment by Darnley Bay to Roda of $100,000 on each anniversary of the Definitive Agreement during the Option period which will commence on execution of the Definitive Agreement and terminate on the date Darnley Bay commences commercial production of at least 500,000 tonnes of ore in any 12 month period. Upon achieving commercial production, Darnley Bay shall be deemed to have automatically exercised the Option and have earned a 100% interest in and to the Project, subject to a three percent (3%) net smelter returns royalty in the Project in favour of Roda.
