TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - October 26, 2015) - Primero Mining Corp. ("Primero" or the "Company") (TSX: P) (NYSE: PPP) today announces further extensions to the Deep Central Zone at the Company's Black Fox mine, located near Timmins, Ontario, Canada. Primero additionally reports the expansion of the Froome zone, located approximately 1 kilometre west of the open-pit at its Black Fox Complex.
Highlights:

• Black Fox Continues to Grow at Depth: Wide intercepts demonstrate the continuation of high-grade mineralization at depth and include highlights of 16.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 11.9 metres (520-EX482-76) and 15.4 g/t gold over 10.9 metres (520-EX482-64) located over 800 metres below surface.
• Delineation Drilling Continues to Grow the High-Grade Deep Central Zone: Results from the Deep Central Zone including 10.9 g/t gold over 10.5 metres (580-F392-38A), 8.7 g/t gold over 9.1 metres (580-F392-37) and 9.2 g/t gold over 8.4 metres (580-F392-41) have given Primero increased confidence in the wide, high-grade mineralization characteristics of this zone.
• New Gold Zone Materializing at Black Fox: Recent drilling from the Froome zone, located 1 kilometre west of the Black Fox open-pit, include long mineralized intercepts of 5.1 g/t gold over 56.7 metres (15PR-G015),4.8 g/t gold over 52.4 metres (15PR-G007) and 5.1 g/t gold over30.9 metres (15PR-G013), demonstrating considerable continuity over long mineralized intervals.
  
• Gibson South Zone Shows Promise: Highlights include 5.2 g/t gold over 34.0 metres (GF15-1043), and 6.4 g/t gold over 7.0 metres (GF15-1045) at the Gibson South deposit, located 300 metres to the southwest of the Grey Fox Contact zone.

"Our 2015 exploration program at Black Fox continues to exceed expectations, reaffirming our original investment thesis that the high-grade gold mineralization is much more extensive than previously identified," commented Joseph F. Conway, Chief Executive Officer. "Exploration drilling is already expected to have replaced our estimated full-year underground production at Black Fox, encouraging us that with continued success we'll be able to grow our resources beyond depletion this year. The extension of the Froome zone into a wide, continuous mineralized zone, located near the Black Fox mine confirms our belief that there remains significant exploration upside outside of the identified deposits at the Black Fox Complex."
Black Fox Continues to Grow at Depth
Today Primero announces additional drilling from the Black Fox mine, targeting the high-grade mineralization in the Deep Central Zone, located between the mine's 600 metre level and the 820 metre level. Two exploration holes have encountered the deeper extensions of this mineralized zone, returning long intercepts including 16.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 11.9 metres (520-EX482-76) and 15.4 g/t goldover 10.9 metres (520-EX482-64). Both intersections are located over 800 metres below surface.
Delineation drilling also targeting the Deep Central Zone continues to demonstrate wide intervals of high-grade mineralization. Specific highlights include 10.9 g/t gold over 10.5 metres (580-F392-38A), 8.7 g/t gold over 9.1 metres (580-F392-37) and 9.2 g/t goldover 8.4 metres (580-F392-41). The area remains open along strike and down dip and is expected to continue to expand with the results of additional exploration drilling.
Underground exploration drilling results are included in Table 1 with locations identified in Figure 1.

*All assays are capped at 30 g/t gold, average gold grades over core length widths.
Froome Zone Demonstrates Black Fox's Continued Prospectiveness
The Company's surface drilling program at Black Fox has also been successful in expanding the Froome zone discovery. The Froome zone, located approximately 1 kilometre west of the Black Fox open-pit, was initially encountered in late-2014 and intersected by the discovery hole 14BF-591 which targeted a strong Induced Polarization ("IP") chargeability anomaly. Results from this initial hole were reported in the Company's February 23, 2015 news release and highlighted a long intercept of continuous mineralization grading 1.7 g/t gold over 66.0 metres. The Froome zone became a priority for 2015 surface exploration, and to-date 39 holes have targeted this new mineralized area.
Highlighted recent drill results from the Froome zone include 5.1 g/t gold over 56.7 metres (15PR-G015) and 4.8 g/t gold over 52.4 metres (15PR-G007) both less than 200 metres below surface, and provide the Company with confidence that this area could continue to expand. The Froome zone continues to be a priority for surface exploration through the remainder of 2015 and 2016.
The Froome zone demonstrates considerable continuity of mineralization and extends laterally over 500 metres dipping 70 to 75 degrees and is located along the highly prospective Gibson-Kelore Fault Zone ("GKFZ"). The GKFZ has been interpreted to be a southeast trending 2^nd order splay of the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone ("DPFZ"), which is the major fault structure controlling much of the gold mineralization in the Timmins Gold Camp. The GKFZ is projected to originate from the DPFZ a few kilometres west-northwest of the Black Fox deposit, trending southeast and gradually splitting near the Grey Fox 147 zone at the south boundary of the Black Fox Complex properties.
The GKFZ is an economically important regional structure hosting a series of significant gold deposits including the 147, Contact, Gibson, and Gibson South zones at Grey Fox. It also hosts the two Hislop open-pit deposits, and the Ross Gold Mine. These deposits are all hosted along a 4 to 5 kilometre stretch of this fault.
Additional drilling is still required to fully define the extension of the Froome zone, which is open to the east, west, and at depth. The zone has been traced to the bedrock surface, located 30 metres below the ground surface level. Primero expects to complete approximately 9,000 metres (30 holes) of additional drilling in 2015 at the Froome zone.
Highlighted exploration drilling results from the Froome zone are included in Table 2 with locations identified in Figure 2. The true depth of the Froome intercepts listed below is approximately 100 metres below surface.

*All assays are capped at 100 g/t gold, average gold grades over core length widths.
**90 assay intervals (less than 1.0 metre each) are still pending for hole 15PR-G015.
Gibson South Zone Continues to Show Promise
Primero also announces recent drilling results from its Grey Fox project, located approximately 4 kilometres south-east of the Black Fox mine. The Grey Fox project currently includes two potential open-pits at the Contact and 147 zones, but the Grey Fox property also contains a number of other mineralized zones (Grey Fox South, Whisky Jack, Gibson, and Gibson South zones), all within close proximity to each other. These zones also have the potential to become additional sources of ore as part of the Black Fox Complex and are within trucking distance of the Black Fox mill facility.
Similar to the Froome zone, as described above, the Gibson South zone is also located along the GKFZ. The Gibson South zone is located approximately 300 metres southwest of the Contact Zone and south of the historic Gibson Decline, which was used in 1989 to extract an 8,000 tonne bulk sample with an average grade of 27.4 g/t.
Recent drilling at the Gibson South zone has returned results including 5.2 g/t gold over 34.0 metres (GF15-1043).
Highlights of Gibson South zone exploration drill results are included in Table 3 with locations identified in Figure 3.
Table 3: Gibson South Zone - Highlighted Surface Exploration Drilling Results

Hole		From (m)		To (m)		Core Length (m)		Gold Grade (g/t)
GF15-1016		317.0		324.0		7.0		5.0
GF15-1043		305.0		339.0		34.0		5.2
GF15-1045		370.0		377.0		7.0		6.4

*All assays are capped at 100 g/t gold, average gold grades over core length widths.
The majority of 2015 drilling has been focused on infilling the Contact zone. This drilling continues to confirm the continuity mineralization within that zone. The two main Grey Fox area deposits, Contact zone and 147 zone have now been drilled off at 15 metre centres.
Highlights of Contact zone infill drill results are included in Table 4 with locations identified in Figure 3.

Lockheed Martin orders more Beralcast(R) Castings for F-35 Lightning II from supplier, IBC Advanced Alloys

IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (OTCQX: IAALF) (TSX VENTURE: IB) ("IBC" or the "Company") announces that Lockheed Martin has issued IBC a second contract to produce components for the F-35 Lightning II Electro-Optical Targeting System (EOTS).

This purchase order extends production of a component contract announced in September 2014, an EOTS azimuth gimbal housing manufactured using Beralcast(R), the Company's proprietary and high performance beryllium-aluminum casting alloy.

On July 13, 2015 IBC announced successful delivery of first article components for low rate initial production (LRIP) lots 7 and 8. This follow on purchase order is for subsequent LRIP years and will cover new planes and related spares and has a minimum contract value of more than $2 million. The EOTS, produced by Lockheed Martin, is integrated on all F-35 variants; planned production quantities are estimated to be over 3,000 aircraft with deliveries through 2035.

The quantity of components specified under this purchase order is approximately double that for LRIP lots 7 and 8 reflecting accelerated production of the F-35 Lightning II. First deliveries are scheduled for September 2015 when IBC will deliver near-net-shape castings directly to Lockheed Martin which will then separately contract for finishing and final machining. Lockheed Martin has agreed to a long lead time procurement provision for key materials to ensure continued production. 

"We are delighted to receive another purchase order for the EOTS azimuth gimbal housing on the F-35 Lightning II," said Anthony Dutton, CEO and President of IBC Advanced Alloys. "This continues our substantial progress with Lockheed Martin since our initial purchase order was announced in 2014.

Lomiko Hires Drilling Company for La Loutre Crystalline Flake Graphite Property for Resource Assessment

VANCOUVER, British Columbia & MONTREAL, July 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX-V:LMR) (OTC:LMRMF) (FSE:DH8B) (the "Company") and Canada Strategic Metals (TSX-V:CJC) are pleased to announce that Forage Val D'Or Inc. has been awarded the contract for up to 10,000 metre drilling program at the La Loutre Crystalline Flake Graphite Properties located in Quebec. Over the past month since exploration began, crews have been prospecting, detail mapping and sampling, which will be followed by building roads and drill pads at the site.

"Flake Graphite has unique characteristics that makes it a better conductor of electricity and heat than copper," stated A. Paul Gill. "It will have an expanding role in a new green economy in new batteries, lighting, lubricants, printable electronics and in the nuclear industry."

(Notes: Lithium Ion Batteries now use 10 times as much Graphite as lithium)



To view jumbo flake graphite from La Loutre Property, please visit: http://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/1944/16390_loutre03.jpg

The 2014 drilling program at La Loutre was managed by Consul-Teck Exploration of Val-d'Or, Quebec, who designed and will oversee the 2015 drilling campaign. The full set of drill results were reported in the February 9, 2015 news release.

After the current program is complete, the property will be assessed for a resource and if warranted, a pre-economic assessment (PEA). The primary focus is intersections which start within 15 metres of the surface as highlighted below. Viable near surface mineralization reduces the amount of waste rock that needs to be moved, reducing overall cost of the project and reducing environmental impact. The target cost per metric tonne of graphite from Canada to compete with graphite from China is under $800/per metric tonne USD.

The La Loutre Property reported grab samples up to 22.04% Carbon Flake Graphite (CFG) and Carbon Purity Test results reporting up to 100%. Carbon Purity in the Large and Extra Large Flake Graphite categories. Details regarding these tests are available in a September 23, 2014 news release.

IBC Advanced Alloys Delivers First Articles EOTS Components for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II

July 13, 2015

WILMINGTON, MA and VANCOUVER, - IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. (OTCQX: IAALF and TSX-V: IB;) ("IBC" or the "Company"), a leading advanced alloys and precision castings company, has successfully delivered its first completed Beralcast^® azimuth gimbal housing components to Lockheed Martin. The articles will be used in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Electro Optical Targeting System (EOTS).

Lockheed Martin's EOTS provides affordable, high-performance multi-function targeting to the F-35's full spectrum of military operations. It is the first sensor to combine forward-looking infrared and infrared search and track functionality to provide F-35 pilots with situational awareness and air-to-air and air-to-surface targeting from a safe distance. The technology enables aircrews to identify areas of interest, perform reconnaissance and precisely deliver laser- and GPS-guided weapons.
Ray White, President of IBC Engineered Materials Corp. said, "Successful first article delivery of Beralcast^® components to Lockheed Martin raises the bar for high performance aerospace applications delivered with cost and lead time savings. This is an important milestone for both IBC and the aerospace industry," continued White, "and we look forward to continuing to support Lockheed Martin and aerospace with IBC's Beralcast® cast alloys."


The first contract for Beralcast^® azimuth gimbal housing components for OEM aircraft fitted with EOTS systems and spares for low-rate initial production (LRIP) Lots 7 and 8 was announced September 8, 2014. Beralcast® alloys are ideally suited to many aerospace applications where lightweight, high modulus and cost are critical performance factors. The principal Beralcast^® alloys are three times stiffer than aluminum with 22% less weight and can be substituted for aluminum, magnesium, titanium, metal matrix composites as well as pure beryllium or powder metallurgy beryllium-aluminum.

Sernova Corp. Announces Collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital to Develop Novel Diabetes Treatment

 by Marketwire
Sernova Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SVA)(FRANKFURT: PSH), is pleased to announce a research collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital, supported with funding from JDRF to develop a novel treatment for diabetes.

Sernova and Dr. Mark Poznansky, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor ofMedicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Vaccine and Immunotherapy Center at Massachusetts General Hospital will collaborate on the project, with JDRF providing $150,000 USD in funding support.

The collaboration will incorporate a proprietary local immune protectant technology within Sernova's novel Cell Pouch as a potential new treatment for patients
with insulin-dependent diabetes.

"Sernova is pleased to be working with Dr. Poznansky, a world renowned expert in understanding and modulating molecular processes of the immune system for therapeutic uses, whose laboratory discovered the novel protectant technology and we are similarly pleased to be working with JDRF and to receive shared support for this work," said Dr. Philip Toleikis, President and CEO of Sernova Corp.
Islet transplantation represents a potentially durable cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D) by replacing the lost beta islet cells with new, functional insulin producing cells. Application of islet transplantation as a treatment for T1D is currently limited by a number of significant obstacles: a very limited availability of transplantable islets derived from human cadaveric donors, the immune destruction of the islets following transplantation and the need for an implantable, scalable and retrievable device for delivering therapeutic cells.

Sernova's patented Cell Pouch uses biocompatible polymers to develop, highly vascularized subcutaneous tissue chambers for the placement, survival and long term function of islets and other therapeutic cells. Over the past six years, Sernova's Cell Pouch has demonstrated an excellent safety profile and efficacy benefit in small and large animal models of disease and importantly, in humans with severe diabetes, islets transplanted into the Cell Pouch have been shown to become highly vascularized and able to produce their therapeutic product.

"Sernova's goal for the treatment of diabetes is to develop a product consisting of our prevascularized, human scaled Cell Pouch which creates an ideal environment for locally immune-protected therapeutic cells from a virtually unlimited source to treat all patients with insulin-dependent diabetes," added Dr. Toleikis.

"Our collaboration with Sernova is designed to address the obstacles of current portal vein islet transplantation by combining a proprietary local immune protectant for transplanted cells from a virtually unlimited source, within a biocompatible device that enhances microvessel formation and thereby oxygen supply to the graft," said Dr. Poznansky. He continued, "This combination is designed to unlock the potential of advanced therapeutic cell treatment that could meet the needs of the growing population of patients with diabetes."

"We see Sernova's approach to treating diabetes with its prevascularized implantable Cell Pouch(TM)
using virtually unlimited cell sources that are locally protected from the immune system as being directly aligned with the research emphasis of JDRF and look forward to the results from the collaboration with Dr. Poznansky," said Dr. Albert Hwa, JDRF's Director of Discovery Research.
