The Bearish Gold Bull

Full Article: The Bearish Gold Bull

By: Jordan Roy-Byrne

The Bearish Gold Bull was the title of my presentation last weekend at the Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver, British Columbia. While the title could be ascribed to me personally for my recent tendency towards conservative and cautious views, it more importantly describes the current dichotomy in the gold sector. The mining sector saw its fundamentals hit rock bottom in 2014-2015 and became “bombed out” at the end of 2015. However, while parts of the industry have performed well, as a whole it has been unable to push higher after a torrid recovery in early 2016. A big reason is the outlook for metals prices suggests lower prices before any large advance. Until metals prices are ready to rise, the miners may find themselves in a bearish bull.

MGX Minerals North American Petro Lithium Mineral Claims top 1,500,000 acres (600,000 ha.) – New 350,000 acres (143,000 ha.) staked in Alberta and Utah

Company News, Company News Archive, Featured, , , ,

 

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / March 1, 2017 / MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE: XMG / FKT: 1MG / OTC: MGXMF) is pleased to announce recent staking activities to further expand its petro lithium land position in the Province of Alberta and State of Utah.

North American Lithium Portfolio
The Company has significantly expanded its Alberta petro lithium portfolio through the acquisition of additional Metallic and Industrial Mineral Permits (“Permits”) covering over 133,000 hectares. The new Permits are located within the Leduc (9,216 hectares), Swan Hills (110,592 hectares) and Nipisi (13,824 hectares) formations.

In total, MGX now holds Permits throughout the Province of Alberta totaling over 600,000 hectares. The Company also has exploration level agreements in place with major oil and gas companies throughout the Province to conduct well sampling.

At its Lisbon Valley Petro Lithium Project MGX has also acquired, through staking, an additional 301 mineral claims encompassing 6,020 acres within the Paradox basin of southeastern Utah. The new claims further increase the Company’s Lisbon Valley land package to 23,780 acres (see Figure 1). MGX also recently announced an earn-in agreement to explore 111 mineral claims in the Cane Creek area of the Paradox Basin (see press release dated February 22, 2017).

The Lisbon Valley oil and gas field is located approximately 40 miles southeast of Moab, Utah in the salt anticline belt on the southwest edge of the Paradox Basin in San Juan county. Historic lithium brine content has been reported as high as 730 parts per million lithium (Superior Oil 88-21P). The region is home to the former Rio Algom uranium mill facility, an active copper mine operated by Lisbon Valley Mining Company, and a natural gas processing plant.

As consideration for staking the Utah claims, the Company paid a fee of $19,565 to Plateau Ventures LLC. and a fee of $9,375 to the Government of Alberta to acquire the Metallic and Mineral Permits in that Province.

Scientific Metals options 50% of Paradox to MGX

2017-02-22 09:09 ET – News Release

See News Release (C-STM) Scientific Metals Corp (2)

Mr. Wayne Tisdale of Scientific Metals reports

SCIENTIFIC METALS ENTERS INTO EARN-IN AGREEMENT WITH MGX MINERALS ON ITS PETRO LITHIUM PROJECT IN THE PARADOX BASIN, UTAH

Scientific Metals Corp. has entered into an arm’s-length earn-in agreement with MGX Minerals Inc., pursuant to which MGX has been granted the option to acquire a 50-per-cent interest in Scientific Metals’ Paradox basin lithium brine property located in Utah in the Western United States.

Under terms of the agreement, MGX has the option to acquire a 50-per-cent interest in the Paradox property by: (i) making a cash payment of $50,000 to Scientific Metals upon execution of the agreement; (ii) issuing 150,000 MGX common shares to Scientific Metals upon execution of the agreement; and (iii) incurring minimum exploration expenditures on the Paradox Property of no less than $250,000 over the course of a 12-month period. If MGX earns its 50-per-cent interest, the parties will negotiate and enter into a joint venture agreement, pursuant to which the parties shall be equally responsible for all future exploration and development expenses on the Paradox property. Further, MGX will have the right to participate in an amount of up to 15 per cent of the gross proceeds of any equity or debt financings of Scientific Metals for a period of 18 months from the date of execution of the agreement.

Scientific Metals’ president, Wayne Tisdale, stated: “We are pleased to partner with MGX on our exciting petro-lithium project in the Paradox basin. We benefit from being an early mover in the Paradox basin and securing what we believe to be key ground which historically demonstrated lithium grades. With deep experience and expertise in the oil and gas sector, we feel that MGX is the right partner to help explore this exciting new basin. Cementing this joint venture will allow Scientific Metals to benefit from their nanoflotation technology that is exclusive to MGX. We look forward to working together to develop our project.”

The Paradox property consists of an aggregate of 111 mineral claims covering approximately 2,200 acres located approximately four kilometres northwest of Intrepid Potash’s Cane Creek operation. Approximately eight wells have been drilled on the Paradox property, with additional historical wells in the immediate area. Historical exploration, as reported by Southern Natural Gas and documented by the Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey, reported 500 parts per million lithium from well No. 1 Long Canyon (“Concentrated Subsurface Brines in the Moab Region, Utah,” Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey, June, 1965).

Lithium occurs in the basin in oversaturated mineral brine (40 per cent minerals, 60 per cent water) and was discovered during oil exploration when drill wells intercepted the main brine zone (clastic break 31) of the Paradox formation (“Concentrated Subsurface Brines in the Moab Region, Utah,” Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey, June, 1965).

The company has not undertaken any independent investigation of the drill results, fluid analysis or other information contained in this press release, nor has it independently analyzed the results of the previous exploration work in order to verify the accuracy of the information or whether the information was prepared in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101. The company believes that the historical drill results, fluid analysis and other information contained in this press release are relevant to continuing exploration on the Paradox property. MGX and Scientific Metals intend to conduct a review of recent and historical well logs, along with chemical analysis in the area and reprocessing of seismic data, focusing on mineral brine.

Garry Clark, PGeo, of Clark Exploration Consulting, is the qualified person as defined in NI 43-101, who has reviewed and approved the technical content in this press release.

MGX Minerals Acquires Lisbon Valley Petro Lithium Project in Utah

MGX Minerals Acquires Lisbon Valley Petro Lithium Project in Utah

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / February 2, 2017 / MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE: XMG / FKT: 1MG / OTC: MGXMF) is pleased to announce it has acquired the Lisbon Valley petro lithium project (the “Project”) located in the Paradox Basin, Utah.

The Project includes 888 placer mineral claims inclusive of lithium brine mineral rights covering the majority of the Lisbon Valley oil and gas field (see Figure 1), where historic lithium brine content has been reported as high as 730 parts per million lithium (Superior Oil 88-21P).

“This recent acquisition in the Paradox Basin is strategic for MGX. These claims cover the majority of the Lisbon Oilfield placing MGX as a major player in oilfield lithium brine in the United States,” stated MGX Chairman Marc Bruner.

Geologic Setting

The Lisbon Valley oil and gas field is located approximately 40 miles southeast of Moab, Utah in the salt anticline belt on the southwest edge of the Paradox Basin in San Juan county. The oilfield was first discovered by Pure Oil Company in 1960. The Lisbon field produces oil and gas from the southwest flank of a faulted anticlinal trap in the Devonian sandstones and Mississippian limestones (Segal et al., 1986).

The Paradox Basin covers large parts of San Juan, Garfield, Wayne, Emery, and Grand Counties in southeastern Utah. The Basin was a structural and depositional trough associated with the Pennsylvanian-age Ancestral Rocky Mountains. The subsiding basin developed a shallow-water carbonate shelf that locally contained carbonate buildups along its south and southwest margins.

The region is home to the former Rio Algom uranium mill facility, an active copper mine operated by Lisbon Valley Mining Company, and a natural gas processing plant located in the city of Lisbon, Utah.

Extraction of Lithium from Oil Field Brine

As previously announced, MGX and engineering partner PurLucid Treatment Solutions (“PurLucid”) have successfully extracted lithium from oil sands wastewater (see press release dated January 3, 2017). The Company and PurLucid are now preparing for deployment of the pilot plant shortly with commercial scale deployment expected during the second half of 2017.

The pilot plant unit represents fully integrated technology combining MGX’s patent pending lithium extraction process, which potentially reduces recovery times of lithium and other valuable minerals from 18 months to one day when compared with conventional lithium extraction, with PurLucid’s patented water purification technology, which removes particulate and dissolved material including dissolved and emulsified oil, colloids and heavy metals.

Pilot Plant Optimization Update

Results from pilot plant optimization testing will be released shortly as part of the completion of the pilot plant. Lithium carbonate has been extracted from oil well production waste water at the Company’s flagship Sturgeon Lake property. Results are currently under technical review and will be released shortly (see Figure 2).

Geo.), Vice President of Exploration for MGX Minerals. Mr. Kikauka is a non-independent Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument (N.I.) 43-101 Standards.

What is Happening?

With the Dow Jones hitting 20,000 yesterday for the first time, one of our top picks MGX Minerals is rocking as well:

 

(1) Since last week, MGX Minerals Inc., (CSE:XMG) (OTC-BB:MGXMF) share price has almost doubled. Company president Jared Lazerson is holding the Holy Grail with their patent pending process that basically makes oil more valuable because they are going to extract lithium from the water that is just waste. “The company owns a patent-pending process (U.S. provisional patent No. 62/419,011) for the extraction of lithium and other valuable minerals from oil brine. This technology is the first of its kind, reducing production time of lithium from brine by 99 per cent compared with conventional lithium brine production times that use solar evaporation. Process time is reduced from approximately 18 months to one day using MGX’s process.” More below…

The possibilities are endless and we are excited about the pilot plant.

Extraction of Lithium from Oil Field Brine
MGX recently reported the extraction of lithium from oil wastewater using its patent pending process (U.S. Provisional Patent #62/419,011) for the extraction of lithium and other valuable minerals from oil brine (see press release dated January 3, 2017).

It is the only patent of its kind providing for the rapid extraction of lithium and other valuable minerals from oilfield brine. Current conventional production of lithium from brine takes up to 18 months due to the solar evaporation phase. MGX’s process eliminates the solar evaporation step, reducing potential production to one day and representing a reduction of >99% and a by-product of re-useable, non-toxic water. The treatment of oil wastewater offers significant revenue potential and environmental benefit in addition to mineral extraction as the processing removed all suspended solids, including 99.7% of hydrocarbons and 99.9% of silica and other scale-forming minerals. With its engineering partner PurLucid Treatment Solutions Inc., MGX expects deployment of pilot plant shortly. Commercial deployment is expected in the second half of 2017 and off-take negotiations are underway.

Again, I encourage you to read the news release
