Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) has announced its preliminary production results for the third quarter of 2022. Highlights include the production of 3.6 million ounces of silver – on track to exceed production guidance, and 44,747 ounces of gold. Phillips S. Baker, Jr., the company’s President and CEO, said:

 

"Hecla reported another strong quarter of operational performance from all three mines as Greens Creek achieved record throughput for the quarter, Lucky Friday’s quarterly production continued to exceed 1 million ounces and the mine has already produced around 90% of last year’s annual production, and Casa Berardi delivered consistent production with the mill continuing the record throughput rates. We also completed the acquisition of Alexco and are advancing Keno Hill development for consistent mill production in 2023."

 

Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd. (NYSE:OR) has posted an update on its third quarter 2022 deliveries, revenues, cash margin and recent asset advancements for its royalty and stream segment. The company earned about 23,850 attributable gold equivalent ounces in Q3, and recorded $53.7 million CAD in preliminary revenues from royalties and streams. Sandeep Singh, President and CEO of Osisko, said:

 

“We are delighted to have experienced another quarter of record deliveries, revenues and cash margin in Q3. These records were achieved despite the Eagle mine still working towards steady-state production, the gold price averaging US$142 per ounce lower quarter over quarter, and a meaningfully higher gold-silver price ratio used to convert silver deliveries into GEOs. The higher gold-silver price ratio, which has since subsided somewhat, decreased GEOs earned by approximately 850 ounces in the third quarter versus expectations. We believe our assets have the ability to end the year on a continued upswing and meet the low end of our guidance, with further increases from core assets expected in 2023.”

 

Endeavour Silver Corp. (NYSE:EXK) has announced the production of 1,458,448 ounces of silver, 9,194 ounces of gold, and 2.2 million ounces of silver equivalent for Q3 this year. Dan Dickson, the company’s CEO, said:

 

“The ore grades processed at Guanacevi continue to exceed plan, which has positioned the Company to meet the upper end of our improved production guidance. The outperformance is well timed, as we continue to face financial pressure from lower metal prices and inflationary effects on inputs. We announced impressive drill results from our exploration program in the quarter at Guanacevi, where we are extending and defining the vertical extents of the Porvenir Dos orebody, which is near historic working areas.”

 

Graphano Energy Ltd. (TSXV:GEL) has started the fall exploration program on its 100 percent-owned Lac Aux Bouleaux (LAB) graphite property in Quebec, Canada. According to the press release, the property boasts eight prospective graphite zones. The company’s CEO, Luisa Moreno, said:

 

"We are pleased that the fall 2022 exploration program is now underway. Initially we will be trenching and stripping the areas with new graphite outcrops to identify drilling targets. The prospecting work will be immediately followed by a drilling program to test new zones of graphite mineralization and the extension of the zones identified during previous drilling this year."

#REE #Stock News- Defense Metals (TSX-V: $DEFN.V) (OTCQB: $DFMTF) Continues to Drill High-Grades at Wicheeda with 106 metres of 2.53% Total Rare Earth Oxide; @defensemetals

 

#REE #Stock News- Defense Metals (TSX-V: $DEFN.V) (OTCQB: $DFMTF) Continues to Drill High-Grades at Wicheeda with 106 metres of 2.53% Total Rare Earth Oxide; @defensemetals

 

Drilling Includes 59 metres of 3.42%; Participate in the 18^th International Rare Earths Conference

 

Vancouver, British Columbia – October 13, 2022: Investorideas.com Newswire, Mining/Metals/Green Energy Stock news-  Defense Metals Corp. (“Defense Metals” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ 35D: FSE) announces high-grade Rare Earth Element (“REE”) assay results from one additional core drill hole, totalling 320 metres (m), collared within the northern area of Defense Metals’ 100% owned Wicheeda REE Deposit.

Infill drill hole WI22-67 (-60^o dip / 197^o azimuth)  was drilled southward within the northern area of the deposit and yielded a broad mixed lithology mineralized intercept comprising dolomite carbonatite and syenite averaging 2.53% total rare earth oxide (“TREO”) over 106 metres (m); including a high-grade zone of 3.42% TREO over 59 m[1] (Figure 1). The assays reported for WI22-67 are partial from surface to a downhole depth of 155 metres. Assay results for the remaining 165 m to end of hole at 320 m are expected in the coming days.

 

Craig Taylor, CEO, and Director of Defense Metals stated: “With the release of this additional drill hole, we continue to establish excellent continuity of mineralization in sectional infill drilling. As we advance the Wicheeda Project we know these kinds of results will contribute significantly to our goal of upgraded resource categories necessary to support a future Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS).”

18^th International Rare Earths Conference, Las Vegas, Nevada

 

Defense Metals and many of its directors, management and advisors will be attending the 18^th International Rare Earths Conference on October 17, 2022 to October 19, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Luisa Moreno, President and Director of the Company will be presenting on the “Wicheeda Deposit: The Next North American REE production”.

 

About the Wicheeda REE Property

The 100% owned 4,244-hectare Wicheeda REE Property, located approximately 80 km northeast of the city of Prince George, British Columbia, is readily accessible by all-weather gravel roads and is near infrastructure, including power transmission lines, the CN railway, and major highways.

 

The Wicheeda REE Project yielded a robust 2021 preliminary economic assessment technical report (PEA) that demonstrated an after-tax net present value (NPV@8%) of $517 million, and 18% IRR[3]. A unique advantage of the Wicheeda REE Project is the production of a saleable high-grade flotation-concentrate. The PEA contemplates a 1.8 Mtpa (million tonnes per year) mill throughput open pit mining operation with 1.75:1 (waste:mill feed) strip ratio over a 19 year mine (project) life producing and average of 25,423 tonnes REO annually. A Phase 1 initial pit strip ratio of 0.63:1 (waste:mill feed) would yield rapid access to higher grade surface mineralization in year 1 and payback of $440 million initial capital within 5 years.

 

Methodology and QA/QC

The analytical work reported on herein was performed by ALS Canada Ltd. (ALS) at Langley (sample preparation) and Vancouver (ICP-MS fusion), B.C. ALS is an ISO-IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 accredited geoanalytical laboratory and is independent of the Defense Metals and the QP. Drill core samples were subject to crushing at a minimum of 70% passing 2 mm, followed by pulverizing of a 250-gram split to 85% passing 75 microns. A 0.1-gram sample pulp was then subject to multi-element ICP-MS analysis via lithium-borate fusion to determine individual REE content (ME-MS81h). Defense Metals follows industry standard procedures for the work carried out on the Wicheeda Project, with a quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program. Blank, duplicate, and standard samples were inserted into the sample sequence sent to the laboratory for analysis. Defense Metals detected no significant QA/QC issues during review of the data.
