Brigus Gold is on a roll into 2015

If you are looking for a growing, junior gold miner, that makes profit, is growing it's margin, and resource base, while reducing overall costs of production, look no further than Brigus Gold.

In Q3 Brigus produced a record 22,000 oz and is on track to exceed 100,000 oz producion per year for the forseeable future.  Resource base has grown to over 2 million oz. In October drilling at the Black Fox Mine site hit a whopper of a result at 18.09 grams per ton over 39.60 metres, including 39.45 g/t over 10.35 metres. This, in an industry where 3g/t is considered mineable. That result occured only 2 weeks after hitting a previous whopper of  40.71 gpt Gold Over 26.75 Both if these occured at Brigus's producing Black Fox Mine.  At the same time they began hitting great results at thier Grey Fox property as well. Although headquartered in Halifax Nova Scotia, Brigus mines are situated in the Timmons Ontario gold district which has been one of the most prolific gold producing regions of the world for decades.  Brigus is an anomaly in the junior gold space. Why? Because it has a working gold mine, it produces gold, is profitable and it is growing.

TNR Gold confirms Mineralization at Shotgun Ridge Drilling in Alaska

TNR Gold Completes Drill Program, Confirms Mineralization Model And Expands Target Area At The Shotgun Gold Project In Alaska (prnews)

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TNR Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSXV: TNR) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the 2012 exploration drilling and geophysical program on its 100% owned Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska. The 30-day exploration program included 814 metres of drilling in three holes. The geological features observed in the drill core confirm down-dip and along strike extensions of feeder zones discovered in earlier drilling campaigns.

Geophysical surveys that helped to identify the feeder zones were expanded along the ridge and elsewhere within the property during the 2012 work program to guide future drilling.

Drill Program Highlights
Three drill holes totalling 814 metres were completed on the Shotgun Ridge prospect. The drilling was designed to extend the mineralized feeder zones identified in drill hole 06-43 down-dip and along strike. Diamond drill hole 06-43 intersected 210 metres grading 1.3 g/t Au (grams per tonne gold). Higher-grade intervals, within this zone defined the position of structurally controlled feeder zones. The geology, sulphide mineralization and structural features encountered in the 2012 drilling are similar to that found in 06-43. Geochemical assay results are pending.

The feeder zone associated with the higher-grade assays in hole 06-43 was intersected in all three drill holes providing the Company with greater confidence in extending this zone along strike and to depth with further drilling.

"It is encouraging that we see continuity of the intrusive breccia in all three 2012 drill holes. DDH 12-57 was drilled approximately 50 metres NW of 06-43 and both 12-58 and 12-59 were collared approximately 30 metres behind 06-43, intersecting the targeted zone as much as 100 metres down-dip. These results confirm that the structural feature believed to host some of the better mineralization at Shotgun Ridge is continuous over some distance and correlates well with the ongoing interpretations of the geophysics thus is clearly open at depth." comments John Harrop, VP Exploration.

Geophysical anomalies that were interpreted as structural corridors hosting mineralization in the 2011 three-dimensional IP/resistivity survey data were found to be coincident with the interpreted mineralized feeder zones. Additional three-dimensional IP/resistivity surveys were carried out in the 2012 program to expand and further define the correlation between geophysical response and mineralization.

Geophysical Survey Highlights
Following the successful application of three-dimensional IP/resistivity surveys in 2011, SJ Geophysics Ltd. collected three additional grids during the 2012 field season. One grid was centred on a surface geochemical gold anomaly at the Winchester prospect, the southernmost target area along a 35 kilometres discontinuous mineralized trend running south from Shotgun Ridge.

Two other grids were designed to extend the 2011 survey at Shotgun Ridge. The data were collected in a manner where they could be merged with the 2011 surveys and modelled in three dimensions to produce a single comprehensive three-dimensional model of chargeability, resistivity, geology and geochemistry to be used for further target delineation. The geophysical data are being processed and results of the merged surveys are pending.

About the Shotgun Gold Project

TNR holds a 100% interest in the Shotgun property located 175 kilometres south of Donlin Creek within the Kuskokwim Gold Belt in southwestern Alaska. This area is emerging as a world-class gold district hosting more than 40 million ounces of aggregated gold resources. The Shotgun property includes a number of prospects, including Shotgun Ridge and nearby Winchester. Donlin is an intrusion-associated system and represents one of the largest undeveloped gold deposits in the world. The Company believes that there are several key similarities between prospects on the Shotgun property and that of the Donlin Creek gold deposit as well as other important intrusion-associated deposits.

Rodinia Lithium Receives Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment

Rodinia Lithium Receives Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Diablillos Lithium Brine Deposit With NPV of Up to US$964 Million and IRR of 36% 

Today - by Marketwire 

Rodinia Lithium Inc. ("Rodinia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: RM)(OTCQX: RDNAF)

is pleased to announce the results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") completed on its 100% owned Salar de Diablillos lithium brine project ("Diablillos" or "Salar") located in Salta Province, Argentina. The PEA outlines an operation producing 15,000 tonnes lithium carbonate ("LC") per year and approximately 51,000 tonnes of KCl ("potash") per year, projecting a 34% internal rate of return ("IRR") pre-tax and a US$561 million pre-tax net present value ("NPV") at an 8% discount rate. The PEA also outlines Rodinia's available option to increase production to 25,000 tonnes LC and 85,000 tonnes potash per year. This increased production scenario generates a much higher pre-tax NPV estimate of US$964 million, along with a pre-tax IRR of 36%. Rodinia continues to advance the technical and processing aspects of the Salar and will commence a feasibility study once the PEA report is finalized. 

The PEA was completed by SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc ("SRK") located in Lakewood, Colorado and is effective as of November 1, 2011. The brine resource model and resource estimate were provided to SRK by Paula Larrondo, Principal Geologist, P.Geo., of AMEC Internacional Ingenieria y Construccion Limitada, Santiago, Chile, Qualified Person ("QP") for the Company's NI 43-101 compliant recoverable lithium brine resource estimate. The complete PEA report will be filed on SEDAR and Rodinia's website within 45 days of this news release. 

The table below outlines the key findings of the PEA:

The PEA is preliminary in nature, includes inferred brine resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the estimates of the PEA will be realized.
William Randall, President & CEO of Rodinia, commented "This PEA is the product of quality work completed on schedule by Rodinia's expert staff and consultants. The PEA demonstrates that Diablillos has the potential to be a low cost producer of high purity, battery-grade, lithium carbonate, potash and boric acid using conventional, environmentally friendly methods to harvest the salts. Due to the favourable geochemistry of the brines, our potash and boric acid production is such that revenue from the sale of these products will result in credits in excess of US$3,500/tonne of LC, more than covering our total anticipated production costs. As long as prices for potash and boric acid remain at today's levels or higher, Diablillos has the potential to remain price competitive down to historic lows for lithium carbonate pricing."

The Salar has favourable economic potential across a range of discount rates, annual production rates, and long-term LC prices. In all cases the Salar shows robust economics consisting of large NPV values and significant positive cash flows, which position it favourably relative to other PEA reports issued for salars at a similar stage of development in the Puna region of South America.
Will Randall elaborated on the preliminary economics of the Salar, "We are pleased with the results and initial conclusions of this PEA. While the assessment estimates robust economics with first quartile capital and operating costs, we gained considerable insight to further improve on these already favourable numbers. We will look to validate these opportunities during the Feasibility Study phase, which will commence once the PEA report is finalized." 

Economic Parameters and Assumptions
The PEA presents a base case operation producing 15,000 tonnes of battery grade lithium carbonate per annum and 25,000 tonnes of battery grade lithium carbonate in the optional production scenario. First production levels of 9,000 tpa LC (15,000 tpa LC for optional production) are expected to be reached after three years of mine construction and pre-production, with full production levels reached two years later. Allowing a further year for the completion of a Feasibility Study, the PEA contemplates initial production by 2015. Management will begin to evaluate methods in which feasibility level engineering and mine construction can be combined to expedite this production timeline. In particular, management will focus on construction of pilot ponds that will subsequently be employed in the commercial production circuit.
Details and Assumptions 

Total initial capital expenditures (including contingency) are estimated at US$144 million to produce 15,000 tpa LC and US$220 million to produce 25,000 tpa LC. The initial capital cost estimate excludes closure costs and sustaining capital. Sustaining capital requirements for years 1 to 20 of operation (15,000 tpa LC) were estimated to be approximately US$80 million including wellfield maintenance and replacement.

Mine construction for a 15,000 tpa LC production facility requires the installation of 23 production wells, approximately 7 square kilometers of evaporation ponds for the production of lithium carbonate, potash and boric acid. At 25,000 tpa LC, the requirements increase to 53 production wells and 11.5 square kilometers. While the wells, evaporation ponds and potash plant are designed to be constructed on the Diablillos property, the current design contemplates constructing the boric acid and lithium carbonate plants off-site at an industrial park in Pocitos. Cost analysis performed on the various options, taking into account capital costs requirements and operating costs, indicated constructing the lithium carbonate and boric acid facilities where access, natural gas, and power are readily available presented considerable cost savings across the board.
A conservative pumping rate of 11 litres per second was employed for this study based on field test work. It is important to note that numerical groundwater flow and solute transport modeling, constraining well drawdown and accounting for dilution impacts on brine chemistry, has demonstrated that higher extraction rates can be achieved from the sand and gravel aquifers predominant at Diablillos. Once further tests are completed on production size wells management expects the estimated capital expenditures required for well construction to be significantly reduced. Pond construction considers an initial unlined pond, where brine is brought to saturation, followed by a series of subsequent lined ponds. There is natural clay occurring on or near Diablillos that will allow for construction of the initial ponds, offering cost savings over lined ponds. Any brine losses experienced in this unlined pond go straight back into the underlying Salar sediments and can be potentially recovered at a later date. 

The total average operating costs over 20 years are estimated to be negative at (US$703) per tonne LC once the potash and boric acid credits are applied, based on the following:

Well and pond costs as well as G&A costs were assigned to all three products according to the percentage of revenue generated by each commodity. Potash plant costs were assigned exclusively to potash and LC plant costs were distributed between lithium carbonate and boric acid, as both of these are produced in the same plant complex. By far the largest expense is the cost of reagents, and in particular soda ash and lime, followed by transportation costs. 

Consistent with practice in the industry, this PEA has been prepared with an engineering accuracy of +/- 30%. As the project progresses through the feasibility stage, advancement in the detail of engineering will improve the accuracy to approximately +/-15%. The PEA used commodity pricing provided by Rodinia that was assembled from various studies and sources, including industry leading reports and forecasts provided to the Company through its relationship with Forbes & Manhattan Inc., access to industry specialists (boric acid), and generally accepted industry standard pricing based on recently completed studies similar in nature to this PEA. The PEA assumed long-term commodity prices of US$5,500 per tonne LC, US$620 per tonne potash, and US$1,150 per tonne boric acid. 

PEA Report
The PEA was prepared in accordance with the guidelines of National Instrument 43-101 by the independent engineering firm SRK Consulting Limited with contributions from AMEC Internacional y Construccion Limitada ("AMEC") of Santiago, Chile, and Mr. Robert Cinq-Mars of North Carolina, USA (whose work experience includes 20 years with FMC Lithium Division as Manager, New Resources and Process Development). SRK is a leading full-service engineering and consulting firm. The final PEA technical report will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days. 

Description of Proposed Operation
The proposed operation for Diablillos will largely make use of conventional evaporation based processing, similar to those employed at Silver Peak (Nevada, USA) and Atacama (Chile). The brine is to be pumped from subterranean aquifers by a series of production wells to an initial unlined evaporation pond. The proposed lithium recovery process is a combination of solar evaporation steps, in-field brine treatment, by product potash ("KCl") and boric acid recovery and chemical processing to produce lithium carbonate. The process results in a high lithium recovery of approximately 65%. The process contemplates a series of six ponds from largest to smallest, where the largest is used to bring brine to saturation and is designed to be unlined reducing the capital cost of pond construction. Sylvinite is to be harvested from the third pond, which is proposed to be subsequently upgraded through a conventional floatation process to muriate of potash. Brine extracted from the final pond will have a concentration of approximately 12% lithium chloride and will be transported to the treatment facility in Pocitos, where boric acid and lithium carbonate are produced. For further details please refer to the press release dated October 11, 2011. 

Groundwater and Solute Transport Modeling
SRK evaluated potential brine extraction for Diablillos to produce lithium carbonate, potash and boric acid. This modeling was based on the resource estimate conducted previously by AMEC (please refer to the press release dated April 11, 2011), and on work completed more recently by Rodinia and SRK; in particular the completion of pumping tests and additional drilling. The work was completed based on the development of 3-D numerical groundwater and solute transport models and included the assessment of:

--  The number of extraction wells needed to meet production targets, their
    locations, total pumping rates and the subsequent drawdown in
    surrounding areas

--  Expected changes in lithium, potassium and boron concentrations within
    the extracted brine over time given possible surface water dilution and
    dilution from surrounding areas containing lower concentrations of these
    components

SRK completed the numerical modeling using MODFLOW-2005 (groundwater flow) and MT3DMS (solute transport) finite-difference codes that are supported by Visual MODFLOW software (SWS, 2010).

TNR Gold Corp.  (.05c)

TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE:

November  2011

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 2, 2011) - TNR Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TNR) ("TNR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a purchase option agreement (the "Agreement") on the acquisition of the Soules Bay Iron Ore project.
Key Highlights:

• Readily accessible: proximal to highway, power and rail;
• 12kms of highly magnetic iron formation strike length contained within the Property;
• Partially overlapping and adjacent to the west is a historical reserve* of 628 million tonnes grading 23.1% soluble iron**;
• 94.5 metre composite 1957 drill sample reports 24.9% soluble iron within and near the western boundary of the Property;
• Iron formation extending to the west has witnessed considerable exploration while limited exploration performed within Property boundary on same-trend magnetic anomaly; and
• The Company to acquire 100% interest.

"The acquisition of the Soules Bay Iron Ore project, encompassing 12 kilometres in strike length of a more extensive iron formation known to host a significant historical reserve, represents a remarkable opportunity for TNR to become a key player in the exploration and potential development of Canadian based Iron projects," states TNR President and CEO Gary Schellenberg.

A comprehensive exploration program consisting of a high resolution airborne magnetic survey, geologic mapping/prospecting and subsequently diamond drilling is planned to be performed throughout the Property along the extent of the highly prominent iron formation.

Under the terms of the Agreement, TNR will acquire a 100% interest in the Property by making aggregate cash payments of $99,065 and issuing an aggregate of 150,000 common shares over a four year period to the Optionor. The Optionor retains a 2% net smelter return royalty on the Property subject to TNR's right to purchase one-half (1/2) of the two percent (2%) for $1 million at any time. The Agreement is made between the Company and Perry English of Souris, Manitoba, an authorized agent for Rubicon Minerals Corporation (TSX:RMX) (the "Optionor").

The Agreement is subject to TNR obtaining approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Soules Bay Property
The 1904-hectare Property is located approximately 310 kilometres north of Thunder Bay and 45 kilometres south of Pickle Lake in northwestern Ontario. Provincial Highway 599, originating off the Trans-Canada Highway 17 from the town of Ignace to Pickle Lake, passes less than 300 metres southeast of the Property. An electrical grid is situated just east of the Property and a railway line is located approximately 96 kilometres south at Savant Lake station on Highway 599.

The Property occurs within the eastern Lake St. Joseph Greenstone Belt in the Uchi Subprovince of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The main target area consists of a banded iron formation of considerable extent of which 12kms of strike length is contained within the Property limits. The on-strike extension of the iron formation, partially overlapping, adjacent and to the west of the Property, has witnessed considerable exploration by Steep Rock Iron Mines Ltd. ("Steep Rock") from 1957-1961 reporting a historical indicated reserve* of 628 million tonnes averaging 23.1% soluble iron** yielding a concentrate averaging 67.6% soluble iron signifying an 84.8% recovery at a concentration ratio of 3.4:1; or 29.3 weight percent (Goodwin 1965 and Taylor et al. 1972).

One of the 1957 drill holes (hole #2) utilized in the 1960 Steep Rock reserve calculation, situated within and proximal to the Property's western boundary, reported a 94.5 metre composite sample grading 24.9% soluble iron yielding a concentrate of 68.8% soluble iron signifying an 82.7% recovery at a concentration ratio of 3.3:1; or 29.9 weight percent.

The vast majority of the 12 kilometre long iron formation within the Property remains untested.
Ike Osmani, M.Sc., P.Geo., is the Qualified Person (QP) as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and is responsible for the preparation of all technical information contained in this news release.

*The geology and assay results quoted above are from various historical reports and have not been verified by the Company. A Qualified Person (QP), as defined in NI 43-101, has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources. TNR is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources, as defined in NI 43-101, and thus the historical estimate should not be relied upon. Furthermore, because no recent work has been done to evaluate the economics of the deposit, there is no guarantee that the quoted historic "reserve" figure is potentially economic. Economic studies done in 1960 do not mean the mineralized iron deposit would be found to be economic today. In accordance with NI 43-10, Sec 2.3 (2), the reader is cautioned that the estimate of the potential quantity and grade for the deposit is conceptual in nature and that there has not been sufficient exploration in this instance to define a current mineral resource nor is there certainty that further exploration will delineate the target as a mineral resource.

**Soluble iron is that partial component of total iron content that is acid (i.e. aqua regia) soluble. For clarification, the iron in iron oxides is classified as acid soluble, whereas iron-bearing silicates represent an example of material categorized containing insoluble iron.

About TNR Gold Corp.
TNR is a diversified international mineral exploration company focusing on the advancement of existing properties and identifying and acquiring new prospective projects. TNR has a portfolio of 18 active projects, of which 9 rare metals projects, including Mariana, is now held by TNR's recently listed subsidiary, International Lithium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ILC). TNR remains a large shareholder in ILC at 28% of outstanding shares.

The recent acquisition of lithium, other rare metals, rare-earth elements and iron ore projects in Argentina, Canada, USA and Ireland confirms TNR and ILC's commitments to generating projects, diversifying its markets, and building shareholder value.

On behalf of the board,
Gary Schellenberg, President

TNR Gold Corp.: Preliminary Results at Seabrook Niobium-Rare-Earth Elements Property

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 25, 2011) - TNR Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:TNR) ("TNR" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Company has completed preliminary work at the Seabrook Niobium and Rare Earth Elements ("REE") Property (the "Property") in northern Ontario.
Key Highlights:

• Preliminary analyses confirms significant historical REE grades;
• 45% of samples report >0.20% TREO;
• Cerium, Neodymium, Lanthanum and Niobium oxide grades range up to:
  3,233 ppm Ce₂O₃, 1,779 ppm Nd₂O₃, 1,163 ppm La₂O₃, and 1,903 ppm Nb₂O₅; and
• Preliminary soil orientation survey completed, awaiting results.

"We are encouraged by the rare-earth element levels and the corroboration of historical results reported from this initial sampling program," states Gary Schellenberg, President and CEO of the Company. "This was the first step in a fully warranted comprehensive evaluation of the multi-commodity potential of the Property."
Seabrook Niobium – Rare-Earth Elements Project Update
Results from 22 geochemical and mineralogical characterization samples (grab samples*) are consistent with historical work by exploration companies and published work by Ontario government geologists. The following table summarizes samples containing greater than 0.20% Total Rare-Earth Oxides + Yttrium ("TREO+Y").

Sample ID	TREO%	CeO2 ppm	Nd2O3 ppm	La2O3 ppm	Nb2O5 ppm
16205	0.71	3233	1779	1163	594
16204	0.48	2026	1065	842	1903
16206	0.42	1851	799	903	302
16222	0.31	1242	549	634	436
16207	0.28	1283	702	365	144
16203	0.28	1236	500	585	388
16211	0.27	1277	552	568	346
16216	0.25	1032	545	486	104
16209	0.24	1113	367	620	396
16208	0.24	1089	321	677	714

The Seabrook Carbonatite Complex hosts Niobium and Rare-Earth Element mineralization with Light Rare-Earth Elements (LREEs) dominating. LREEs account for 94% of TREO+Y in samples with ≥0.20% TREO+Y. Three LREEs account for approximately 84% of TREO+Y in samples with ≥0.20% TREO+Y. These are Cerium (~44%), Neodymium (~20%) and Lanthanum (~20%).

This initial survey of the property was conducted under the supervision of Dr. Frederick Breaks, P. Geo., and the Company's special advisor on Rare - Earth Element ("REE") exploration. Further mineralogical work is underway. Subsequent to the identification of historical workings in the hematite alteration zone an orientation soil survey was conducted in this area. Results of the soil survey are pending.

*Note: grab samples are by definition selective and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property.

About the Seabrook Project
The Seabrook Project is located 100 kilometres northeast of Sault Ste. Marie in northern Ontario, covers 512 hectares and is accessible year round. The property encloses the Seabrook Carbonatite Complex which forms the area of prospective geology. Access to the property is by major paved highways with the final 10 kilometres on unpaved forest service road. Electrical transmission lines cross the southwest corner of the property.

The Seabrook Carbonatite is approximately 1.5 x 2.5 kilometres in area and elongated along a north-south trend forming a tadpole shaped complex consisting of sovite and silicocarbonatite in the bulbous northern portion and ijolite in the tail to the south. The entire complex is enveloped by a well developed aureole of fenitized granitic rocks.

Limited historical exploration of the Seabrook Carbonatite has indicated significant REE potential. In 1955, W. Bussineau reported 4 grab samples* grading 0.6, 1.5, 4.7 and 10.3% Nb₂O₅. In 1971, Canpac Minerals Ltd. and Gunnex Ltd. reported grab samples grading up to 0.90% Nb and outlined 3 areas of high Nb values that were never followed up by drilling. In 1977, as part of a geological survey of the Chapleau area for the Ontario Division of Mines, Thurston et al published data on a sample from a hematite-rich carbonate rock estimated to cover a 90m by 90m area and grading 0.47% Ce₂O₃ and 0.22% La₂O₃ where only those two Rare-Earth Elements (Ce and La) were analyzed.

Mr. John Harrop is the Company's qualified person on the Seabrook Project and as required under NI 43-101 and has reviewed the technical information contained in this press release.

Brigus Gold Completes Option of 75% Interest in Its Ixhuatan Gold Project in Mexico 

7 hours ago by Business Wire

 Brigus Gold Corp. ("Brigus" or the "Company") (NYSE Amex: BRD)(TSX: BRD) announces that Cangold Limited ("Cangold") has received regulatory and TSX Venture Exchange approval and has completed its previously announced transaction with Brigus. The terms of the transaction provide Cangold with the option to acquire a 75% interest in Brigus' Mexican subsidiary (the "transaction") that owns the Ixhuatan gold project ("Ixhuatan Project"), an advanced exploration stage project located in Chiapas, Mexico.

Cangold has filed an updated Canadian National Instrument 43-101 report on the project (P. Secombe, May 18, 2011) and has completed a definitive option agreement with Brigus. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction, Cangold has paid Brigus Cdn$1.0 million and has issued 6.0 million Cangold shares to acquire the initial option and will be required to pay Brigus Cdn$1.0 million and issue 6.0 million Cangold shares after 12 months and an additional Cdn$3.0 million and 4.0 million Cangold shares after 24 months. To exercise its option and acquire a 75% interest in the Ixhuatan Project, Cangold will then be required to pay Brigus Cdn$5 million and issue 4.0 million Cangold shares as well as complete an independent third-party feasibility study on the Campamento Deposit within 36 months. Following Cangold's exercise of the purchase option, Cangold and Brigus will hold a 75% and 25% interest respectively and will be responsible for their pro-rata costs in jointly developing the Ixhuatan deposit. Brigus will retain a 2% Net Smelter Return royalty over the project and upon commencement of commercial production, will also receive a payment of Cdn$5.00 per ounce of gold in the Proven and Probable category included in the feasibility study.
