Aphrodite Gold intersects 77m at 4.07g/t gold near Kalgoorlie

Aphrodite Gold (ASX: AQQ) has delivered some stunning drill results including 77 metres at at 4.07 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 139 metres, the highest grade and longest gold intersections reported to date at Aphrodite Gold Project near Kalgoorlie.

That intersection included 13 metres at 11.06g/t gold from latest drilling at the Alpha lode. 

Notably, every hole from this reverse circulation drilling program intersected reported multiple zones of gold mineralisation.

Investors may recall that the Alpha Lode forms the eastern portion of the current Aphrodite gold resource area, the 1.03 million ounce total gold resource is contained within the Alpha and Phi Lodes at the project.

Today’s drilling results follow sparkling drill results Aphrodite announced from Alpha in the June quarter including 31 metres at 7.83g/t gold from 182 metres including 10 metres at 18.80g/t gold.

The latest drilling continues to confirm the presence of multiple, wide zones of gold mineralisation within the Alpha structure and within potentially open pit mine depths.

Other highlights from the 11 hole (2329 metres) program over a 320 metre strike length at the Alpha Lode included:

- 24 metres at 4.23g/t gold from 209 metres; and
- 36 metres at 2.52g/t gold from 185 metres, including 2 metres at 10.94g/t gold.

The results also included an intersection of 1 metre at 95.29g/t gold, which was hosted within the high grade intersection of 10 metres at 13.51g/t gold from 72 metres.

Importantly – the gold discoveries are the highest grade and broadest to date not just from the Alpha Lode.

The company continues to progress infill drilling programs on both the Alpha and Phi Lodes, which is aimed at increasing the confidence categories of the current JORC Resource.

Drilling will continue to mid-December, which provide investors with a strong news flow of results.

The project currently hosts a resource of 10.06 million tonnes at 3.19g/t gold for 1,033,000 ounces.

This is comprised of an Indicated 3.67 million tonnes at 3.83g/t gold for 451,000 ounces and an Inferred 6.39 million tonnes at 2.83g/t gold for 582,000 ounces.

Scoping Study

Earlier in the month Aphrodite commenced a Scoping Study following positive metallurgical test work of plus 90% gold recoveries from the deposit.

The study will examine the staged development of the deposit by initial open pit mining followed by underground development of higher grade resources.

Also to be examined, the study will investigate the practicalities of utilising available nearby infrastructure close to the deposit, including processing plants.

One of the major benefits already of the Aphrodite deposit is the strategic location 75 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie and in proximity to regional gold mills in need of feedstock ore.

Analysis

Clearly, these drill results provide confidence in the resource and bode well for conidence in the resource as well as within potentially open pit mine depths.  This augurs exceptionally well for the Scoping Study.

In the past, concerns over metallurgical issues may have hampered growth in the overall valuation, which is at the lower end of the EV/Resource ounces relative to its peers.  Recent positive metallurgical results have demonstrated this is not a factor.

Curis Resources provides update on Florence Copper development

Curis Resources (TSE:CUV) announced on Friday the voluntary withdrawal of its requests to amend the Town of Florence General Plan and rezone a portion of its property, with regards to its Florence copper project in Arizona.

However, Curis said it continues to pursue the completion of state and federal permit amendments required to advance Florence towards full development.

This process is in the final phase, which includes a 30-day public comment period that is anticipated to be initiated by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the near term, the company added.

Curis noted that in withdrawing its amendment request for the Town’s General Plan, it would focus on finalizing the environmental permit amendments early in 2012, planning to re-engage in these discussions with the Mayor, Town Council and Town staff.

“The completion of this process and amendment of the permits will give the Town of Florence and all stakeholders greater confidence on environmental and technical matters and the opportunity to focus their attention on matters relating to land use,” the company said in a statement.

A number of the permits required for the development and operation of Florence Copper are already in place, including water use approvals from the Arizona Dept. of Water Resources (ADWR) and air quality permits from Pinal County.

As such, the permit amendments from ADEQ and EPA represent the final step in the overall environmental approvals required for the development and operation of Florence Copper.

Vice president of project development, Mel Lawson, added: “Our primary goal has been upon receipt of our updated environmental operating permits, we would move forward with Florence Copper operations.”

“Nothing with respect to our overall project development timeline has changed as a result of today’s announcement.”

About one-half of the recoverable oxide copper contained in the 429 million tonne resource hosted at Florence rests beneath a 160 acre block of state land. Curis holds the rights to recover and process minerals under a mineral lease from the state on this land parcel.

The company said it intends to complete its feasibility study and initiate operations using in-situ copper recovery technologies next year, starting with phase one production test and ramping up to commercial production by 2014.

Bourse bulls bury bears; Microsoft, General Electric, McDonald’s and Verizon in focus

U.S. stocks rallied to their highest levels in more than two months Friday, as investors were optimistic that European leaders would come to a concrete resolution to the region’s debt crisis in matter of days.

At the close, the Dow Jones jumped 2.3% to 11,809, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq climbing 1.5% to 2637.

The Dow has closed in a different direction from its prior trading session for 10 straight sessions, the longest such streak since May 2009, as investors are sensitive to any news out of Europe. A disorderly Greece default threatens to derail the entire banking industry in Europe and abroad.

However, investors were hopeful for a resolution, after French president Nicolas Sarkozy and German chancellor Angela Merkel said late Thursday that the elements of a comprehensive response to Europe’s debt crisis will be discussed in depth at this weekend’s European Council summit with a plan expected to be unveiled at a second meeting no later than next Wednesday, with Merkel and Sarkozy also scheduled to meet Saturday night before the crucial meeting.

Late Thursday, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MFST) reported fiscal first quarter earnings results that matched expectations, with a profit of .74 billion, or 68 cents a share, compared to .4 billion, or 62 cents per share, a year earlier.

Revenue rose to .37 billion, up from .2 billion in the same period a year ago, as strong sales in the corporate market were largely offset by a flat consumer PC market. Analysts expected the company to report earnings of 68 cents a share on revenue of .24 billion.

Friday saw a number of corporate earnings reports, including Dow components General Electric (NYSE:GE), McDonald’s (NYSE:MCD) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ).

General Electric reported Friday a third quarter net profit of .22 billion, with adjusted operating earnings of 31 cents, compared to 28 cents a year ago, matching analyst forecasts. Revenue was flat at .37 billion, beating estimates of .84 billion. Shares fell as the quarter marked the first time GE did not beat earnings forecasts since 2008.

Meanwhile, McDonald’s swung to all time highs as it posted higher third quarter profits of .51 billion, or .54 per share, compared with .39 billion, or .29 per share, a year ago, driven by global growth. Revenue rose 14% to .17 billion, as global comparable sales were higher by 5%.

According to Thomson Reuters, analysts expected earnings per share of .43 for the quarter, on revenue of .02 billion. The fast-food chain’s stock traded at record levels Friday, reaching an intraday high of .09.

Verizon said Friday that third quarter profits more than doubled, to .38 billion, or 49 cents per share, up from 9 million, or 23 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding pension and benefits costs, earnings rose to 56 cents a share, topping analyst estimates by a penny. Operating revenue rose 5.4% to .91 billion.

The telecommunications giant’s carrier Verizon Wirless, which Verizon owns with Vodafone, added 1.3 million total subscribers during the quarter, with retail churn, or the rate at which customers cancel services, improving to 1.26% from 1.43% a year earlier.

The world’s largest oilfield services company Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) also reported results Friday, posting lower-than-expected third quarter profit as weak financial markets cut oil demand, sending shares lower. Excluding one-time items, Schlumberger earned 98 cents per share, falling short of analyst forecast of .01 per share, according to Thomson Reuters.

SunTrust Banks (NYSE:STI) said that it recorded a higher third quarter profit on lower loan loss provisions. The Atlanta-based regional bank set aside 43% less money to cover loan losses, and earned more from interest.

It reported net profit of 1 million, or 39 cents per share, up from million, or 17 cents per share, a year earlier, beating analyst estimates of 35 cents per share. Revenue, however, declined 5% to .2 billion, as it sold less securities.

Honeywell (NYSE:HON) reported that third quarter earnings rose 45%, on strong performance in its commercial aerospace business, prompting a boost to its 2011 forecast. The company, whose shares were up almost 5% in the afternoon, said it now expects full year sales of .5 to .7 billion, up about 13 percent over 2010, with earnings at .00 to .05 a share.

In other news, online coupon business Groupon said today it will look to raise as much as 0 million in its IPO, planning to offer 30 million shares priced in the range of to each. In a regulatory filing, the Chicago-based company’ set price range, values the company at around .4 billion, less than the billion valuation it was looking for earlier this year.

The November 3 planned listing of 30 million shares, which represents only five percent of Groupon, could raise as much as 0 million, compared with a prior target of raising over 0 million. Some analysts suspect that further stock may come to market down the line.

On the economic front, talk of more stimulus by the Federal Reserve made its way through the market as two top Fed officials argued the US central bank should consider resuming large-scale mortgage bond purchases.

Commodities

Crude oil for December delivery rose 1.21%, or .04, to .11 per barrel, while gold futures climbed 1.53%, or .60, to ,637.50 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Europe

Ahead of the weekend summit, and after Merkel and Sarkozy announced a resolution to Europe’s debt crisis would be in place by next week, markets in the region closed higher. The FTSE 100 in London closed up 1.93%, and the DAX in Frankfurt rose to end up by 3.55%.

GeoMega announces pre-development agreement with Crees for Montviel project

GeoMega Resources (CVE:GMA) reported Thursday that it has inked a pre-development agreement with the Grand Council of the Crees and the Cree First Nation of Waswanipi for its Montviel rare earths project in the Abitibi region of Quebec.

The pre-development agreement has been developed on the principle of mutual respect between both parties, in seeing the establishment of a successful mining venture at Montviel, the company said in a statement.

The agreement is the result of a collaboration that began last year, while the company prepared for the start up of phase one drilling at Montviel.

In a statement, GeoMega’s chief executive, Simon Britt, said: “This significant milestone, achieved early in the development of Montviel and illustrates our dedication to social and environmental respect.”

Chief Paul Gull, from the Cree First Nation of Waswanipi, added: “The signing of this agreement ensures that there will be meaningful participation by our local members without sacrificing sustainability. It is an important step for all parties.”

GeoMega said that during the period of pre-development activities, the agreement will provide the Cree with jobs and opportunities leading up to a potential production decision for the project.

Additionally, the agreement provides Cree assistance in the preparation of an environmental and social impact assessment for Montviel.

The company said that Montviel has the potential to play a major role in clean technologies due to its proximity to infrastructure and available labour. An initial NI 43-101 resource calculation totalled 183.9 million tonnes averaging 1.45 percent total rare earth oxides (TREO), in the indicated category, and 66.7 million tonnes averaging 1.46 percent TREO, in the inferred category.

GeoMega, which owns 100 percent of the Montviel property, is a young Québec mining exploration company focused on finding deposits of elements needed by clean technologies.
