A.I.S. Resources Identifies Six Reefs in Sheehans Historic Mine Area and Commences Due Diligence for West Wyalong Advanced Gold Project

Vancouver, British Columbia – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) announces commencement of due diligence on the Yalgogrin orogenic gold project (the “Project”) with a detailed review of RC and Air Core drilling sample trays and surface samples and identification ofsix reefs in Sheehans historic mine area.

Fig 1. Sample fire assay 1.76gm/t Au with manganese replacement and pyrite crystal voids. Fig 2 Sample fire assay 1.01gm/tonne Au and a large pyrite crystal void.

The detailed information has been entered into Micromine and Mapinfo software. Rockchip samples were reviewed and four samples had fire assay gold values of 4.89gm/t YR74, 4.82gm/t YTRD, 1.012gm/t YR21, and YR8 1.756 as well as silver being present.

Six Reefs Discovered On EL6030
Approximately 10.1 km southwest of Yalgogrin is a group of workings comprising the Asia-Wyalong Mine, Rowe and Prestons Mine, and the Sheehan Mine, which were staked as EL6030. Further research has identified six reefs in the Asia Wyalong – Sheehans historic mine area. Magnum Gold NL conducted some auger drilling in 1990. The main workings comprise of three shafts up to 91.5m deep, drives, crosscuts, winzes, stoping and shallow pits extending about 15.3m over the surface. Prior work was mostly carried out between 1932 and 1936 on a number of quartz veins, which were between 0.76 and 2.2m wide. They strike 340o, with a near vertical dip.

Altogether there are six parallel reef lines within a 60m wide strip. They run parallel to the cleavage and include numerous smaller crosscutting veins. The richest gold is reported to have come from the intersection between the main veins and the smaller veins. Officially, a total of 21.225 kg of gold was won from ore yielding 36g/t (1.15 troy oz) Au up to 1936. Fig 3 below shows the arsenic contours that correlate with gold at 20 ppm, eight mine workings, the main shaft and head frame and the auger locations.

Fig 3. Arsenic is correlated with gold and this map shows the Arsenic (As) contours and old workings.

Thomson Resources Ltd (ASX:TMZ) has staked around the EL5891 tenement completely.

Exploration Strategy for the Yalgogrin Gold Project
The primary exploration targets on EL 5891 are large tonnage low to medium grade deposits amenable to open pit mining. The secondary exploration targets on EL 5891 are high grade resources amenable to underground mining. The tenement is deemed prospective for these types of mineralisation due to:

  • extensive gold in soil anomalism;
  • historical high grade gold mining;
  • high grade rock chips;
  • extensive low grade rock chips;
  • extensive mineralisation identified in trench sampling;
  • intersecting mineralized veins sets;
  • extensive mineralisation intercepted in drilling;
  • extensions to known mineralisation interpreted from high resolution geophysics;
  • location in a historic gold field within a regional setting that has large tonnage deposits that have been mined;
  • distribution of historical workings; and
  • large resources that have been identified in similar settings globally.

Phillip Thomas, President & CEO of AIS, commented, “AIS is very pleased to have secured this opportunity to explore and develop an advanced-stage

Exploration at the Yalgogrin Gold Project
Interpretation of a 250,000 to 350,000 m3 target extending from the Hollande prospect through to Walsh’s prospect has been ascertained from 21 drill holes (including AC and RC) and three costeans. The body is dipping at approximately 30 degrees to the southwest and interpreted down to 35 m, which approximates base of oxidation evidenced by aircore refusal. The average intercept grade ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 g/t Au within the target. Waste to ore ratio of the interpreted body based on simple pit outline approximates 2:1. The mineralisation is open along strike to both the northwest of Hollande and also to the southeast of Walsh’s as shown in Figure 3.

Phillip Thomas President and CEO stated, “The quality of the comprehensive records kept by the vendor is impressive. All files are up-to-date and reports lodged. The data is easy to access. We look forward to completing the due diligence when we visit the property in the week commencing 27thJuly. The grades of gold and mineralogy are very exciting”.

A.I.S. Resources Signs Binding LOI for West Wyalong Advanced Gold Project with DDH YAC5 Intercept of 9m at 2.7gm/t and 1m at 21.5gm/t

Vancouver, British Columbia – A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF) (the “Company” or “AIS”) announces that on July 17, 2020 the Company entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”), to acquire the Yalgogrin orogenic gold project (the “Project”), with Auger results of 12.5 gm/t and 32.3 gm/t, and 14 DDH’s with intercepts ranging from 1.9 gm/t to 1m at 21.5 gm/t. The Project is located in the historic West Wyalong gold corridor of central NSW, Australia which produced 445,700 oz gold mined between 1894-1921. Denis Walsh, the vendor, is a senior consulting geologist at the Victoria Fosterville gold mine.  AIS will acquire two exploration licences (ELs) the EL5891 tenement, which is 2.8 sq. km. (280 ha) and the EL6030, which is 56 sq. km. and encompasses two historical gold mines.

Fig 1. Regional magnetic survey

Located approximately 37 km. west of the town of West Wyalong on the Newell Highway and 595 km. north of Melbourne, this advanced-stage exploration project is in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW in the historic Yalgogrin goldfield.  Thisregion has seen significant gold mining over the past 100 years and currently has three major operating gold projects:

  • Cadia Newcrest 220 km north west producing 900,000 oz of gold a year,
  • Lake Cowal Gold Mine which is 40 km from Yalgogrin project, that was purchased by Evolution for $550 million, and
  • North Parkes, a copper and gold mine 168 km to the northeast thatin 25 years has produced 1.464 million ounces of gold and 1.168 million tonnes of copper.

Fig 2. EL6030 covers 56 sq. km. including the Talmore, Sheehan and Asia Wyalong mines, and EL5891 covers the Walshes.

Thomson Resources Ltd (ASX:TMZ) has staked around the EL5891 tenement completely.

Local Geology
The local geological environment is a magnetic, magmatic complex of Ordovician age located within the Lachlan Fold Belt. Numerous gold deposits occur in the West Wyalong Temora Adelong district, many of them close to the Gilmore Suture, which is delineated by regional aeromagnetic and gravity data. A sequence of Late Ordovician metasediments, which have been intruded by granites of (mostly) Silurian age is situated to the west of the suture. To the east of the suture, Ordovician metasediment strata form basement to an extensive sequence of volcanics and sediments which have been intruded by granitic dioritic, and gabbroic bodies of (mostly) Early Devonian age.

Granodiorite phases of the Siluro-Devonian batholiths are the host to, or were the source of substantial primary and secondary gold mineralisation at Adelong, West Wyalong, and Sebastopol-Junee Reefs (some orebodies) along the Gilmore Fault Zone.

Fig 3. Geological Model from Drill hole data on the tenement.

Phillip Thomas, President & CEO of AIS, commented, “AIS is very pleased to have secured this opportunity to explore and develop an advanced-stage gold project in the exciting historic gold district of New South Wales, Australia.  The Project is geophysics and drill- ready with 3,795 metres over 14 drill holes already completed and a substantial drill hole and magnetic survey database from other explorers from 1953 when BHP explored the area. The goal is to fast-track the Project towards resource estimation, feasibility and then mine development in the Neighbour, Last Hurrah, Walsh, Adelaide, and Holland deposits. The Adelaide mine area is not yet drilled.  The Company plans IP geophysics and drilling as soon as possible with a focus onBulk Tonnage, near surface lower grade opportunities; Down dip/plunge and along strike of Holland/Walsh’s/Last Hurrah 500 m trend, Bonanza grade narrow vein targets near Adelaide Mine and down dip/plunge of 140 m strike workings to 55 m depth, grades equivalent to 1 m@24 g/t Au; Bonanza grade narrow vein targets at Neighbours Farm; Down dip/plunge of 14 m @ 2.6 g/t Au (entered old stope) from 1 m and along strike to 32.3 g/t Auger result.”

Fig 4. Top target the Neighbours Farm prospect.

Planned Property Exploration Program
The tenement offers:

  • Mineralised system of significant scale containing numerous ‘walk-up’ drill targets;
  • Open high grade near surface intersections;
  • Untested historic workings with reported high grades;
  • Bulk tonnage lower grade potential;
  • Oxide heap leach planned;
  • Land access secured and excellent relationships established.

Our aim is to define the oxide resource, provide targeting guidance for deeper exploration. In summary the program entails 5000 metres percussion reverse circulation with downhole geophysics (Optical televiewer), 240 metres of oriented diamond core holes (HQ3), QA/QC, DGPS survey, downhole surveys, handheld pXRF multi-element, gold fire assays with 50g charge on 1m intervals; preliminary metallurgical test work, resource estimate of oxide mineralisation, and an IP survey to guide further exploration at depth. Our estimated Cost is approximately AU$650,000. The planned outcome will be a NI43-101 Compliant gold oxide resource with IP Chargeability and Resistivity Inversions for drill hole guidance.

Due Diligence
AIS has paid a AU$10,000 option fee per month, for three months to complete due diligence. The Company plans to prepare a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on the Project in accordance with regulatory requirements. All the work since 2001 has been done by Denis Walsh, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. He is also the senior geologist working at Fosterville gold mine in Victoria that produced 155,106 ounces of gold this past quarter.

Acquisition Terms
Under the terms of the LOI, AIS has paid an AU$10,000 (approximately, C$9,500) deposit per month for an exclusivity period of 90 days during which time AIS will undertake due diligence and the parties will finalise and enter into a definitive agreement. As part of the LOI, Walsh will be granted 2% net smelter return royalty on the first 50,000 oz production.

Under the terms of the LOI, AIS will acquire a 60% interest in the Yalgogrin Gold Project in exchange for (i) a cash payment of AU$275,000 (approximately, C$261,250) on the definitive agreement date, (ii) the issuance, on the definitive agreement date, of AU$125,000 (approximately, C$118,750) of AIS common shares; to acquire the remaining 40% AIS will iii) incur exploration expenditures of AU$750,000 (approximately, C$712,500) in the 12 month period post the signing of the definitive agreement. and (iv) the issuance on the date that is 18 months from the Definitive Agreement date of AU$600,000 (approximately, C$570,000) of AIS common shares at the 20-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) immediately preceding such date.

Closing of the Definitive Agreement is subject to, among other things, the receipt of all necessary approvals and all conditions having been satisfied or waived with respect to the terms of the LOI including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”). Technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Phillip Thomas, a Director of AIS, who is a Qualified Person under the definitions established by the National Instrument 43-101.

A.I.S. Resources Chairman Martyn Element: Manganese to Emerge Among Battery Metals

– February 19th, 2020A.I.S. Resources CEO Martyn Element

A.I.S. Resources Chairman Martyn Element joined INN at to discuss his company’s progress in the manganese market, the future of electric vehicles and the dominant trends that are most likely to shape the resource industry moving forward.

A.I.S. Resources (TSXV:AIS,OTCQB:AISSF) Chairman Martyn Element joined the Investing News Network at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference to discuss his company’s progress in the manganese market, the future of the electric vehicle market and the dominant trends that are most likely to shape the resource industry moving forward.

A.I.S. Resources recently completed sourcing and shipping an order of manganese to send to a client in China. The 292 dry metric tons of manganese were assayed at 53.66 percent by the purchaser following shipment.

According to Element, the move towards electric vehicles has created significant demand for manganese, lithium, copper and other metals commonly used in rechargeable batteries and the vehicles themselves. Despite the potential in similar industries, Element maintains that A.I.S. Resources is focused on the manganese industry. However, there is potential for a new company to be created by A.I.S. as an investment issuer moving forward.

Below is a transcript of our interview with A.I.S. Resources Chairman Martyn Element. It has been edited for clarity and brevity.

Investing News Network: What is the name of your company, what is its symbol, where would we find you and which market?

A.I.S. Resources Chairman Martyn Element: We are on the TSXV and have been around since 1968. We’ve never been consolidated and never been rolled back. The company is an investment issuer, A.I.S. Resources, and our symbol is AIS.

INN: And you’ve been around for a little while.

ME: I’ve personally been around for a little while; I was a broker in the early 1980s in corporate finance. I finished up with a local firm here as Director of Corporate Finance for Pacific International. I had a client that was beginning to take a lot of my time so I went full-time with the client and that was called Clearly Canadian. I found them their first money and I found all the money for Clearly Canadian, which, of course, went from 50 cents to C$31 a share. So I left Pacific International and went on my own in corporate advisory and corporate finance.

INN: For those who don’t know what manganese is, why is this an important element as we move into the green sector?

ME: It’s not a well-followed metal, but it’s beginning to be now as it’s starting to come into vogue. There’s quite an accomplished fellow who is a director over at Canaccord — he has a deal called Euro Manganese that he’s going to be producing from a tailing situation just outside Prague, and he’s going to be producing manganese in 2024. He’s capped at about C$30 million I think, so it’s significant money he’s got. He’s single-handedly putting manganese a little bit more on the map. Manganese is used as a strengthener in steel traditionally, but it’s now beginning to be used more in futuristic car batteries. Manganese and cobalt are two of the metals that are being integrated into these longer extended batteries.

Manganese is starting to get the spotlight and cobalt is beginning to get the spotlight as well. We looked at the lithium market and lithium had quite a significant correction. With all these new cars coming out, I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more lithium in the future. However, we looked at manganese and we decided that we didn’t want to mine it, we didn’t want to get involved in that, but we saw an opportunity to start getting involved in the trading of manganese. So we shipped our first manganese as a company about two months ago now, and we are expecting to have news of that shipment soon. There’s a learning curve, but it was a small amount relatively speaking. We shipped 400 tonnes of product which is still 21 or 22 containers, so it was a lot of work but we got it done and we hope to be in a position to announce that shortly. We’ve now discovered that in this marketplace to be a meaningful player will require a minimum of 5,000 tonnes.

In the last three weeks, we’ve written up two contracts for 5,000 tonnes. One was with a very large company, a $9 billion corporation called Erdos out of China. Another was with a company that we haven’t announced yet, so we’re awaiting clarification on that. Then just in the last three or four days, we’ve written a contract up for 50,000 tonnes.

Peru is not the country for that sort of quantity. So we’ve now gone further afield and we’re now sourcing in Zambia and indirectly into Tanzania and Brazil with larger amounts because for those sorts of quantities you’ve got to be able to have the supply. My CEO is a very accomplished fellow, he’s a mineral adviser in Australia, he’s one of 12 men in Australia considered in such high esteem, so he’s very qualified in all metals. He’s doing a lot of the sourcing and we are going to be the agent on these trades. To give you an idea about the money involved, on a 5,000-tonne order, our revenue at the end of the day would be just over US$1,000,000, so there’s a lot of money at stake here.

We’re all very excited about what we’re doing. We’re getting a reputation, we’re new guys, but we’re not without a resource and we’re not without players in the world and they are looking. One of the reasons there’s been a delay with our shipment is that the price of manganese went down and now it’s coming right back to where it was six months or nine months ago, which is more than holding its price, so it’s a nice place to be.

INN: Do you foresee demand for more battery power?

ME: That’s coming. People like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and these big companies are starting to get a little nervous. They’re forward buying products like manganese and lithium of course because they don’t want to get caught. When the wave comes, it’s going to be bigger than anybody would ever estimate.

INN: You touched on lithium as one of the commodities that you’re still in. Where is your lithium project at?

ME: We went into Argentina and we drilled three properties. We hit lithium on all three, but we didn’t get the parts per million. So, we didn’t get it. Millennial Lithium (TSXV:ML,OTCQX:MLNLF) did. They drilled less than 30 kilometers from one of our wells and they hit but we didn’t; it was a mother nature situation.

Now they’ve just recently changed the government again in Argentina and things are getting out of control a little bit there with inflation, the new president and a lot of the business philosophy. So, we’ve kept some key personnel in Argentina and we’re closely monitoring the situation. We’re not walking away, we’re just keeping it close. So we’re keeping our hand in but we’re not going after anything at the moment in the lithium field, we’re focusing on manganese.

INN: What are your connections like in Asia? Who do you have as a representative that’s out helping to tell your story in those complex marketplaces?

ME: The people we met in Montreal are employed close to the Chinese government and they have been incredible. We have two ladies working for us who have been successfully sourcing supply for us. I have a very close personal relationship with a very famous racing car driver, Emerson Fittipaldi from Brazil. He has told me that he’s very keen once we have a track record of success. He’s been working in China with the two biggest car manufacturers in China and the largest car manufacturer in Korea, which is KIA (KRX:000270). He said, “Martyn, when the time comes, I will take you and we will go together to meet the guys that run these plants but we have to have the success of a few things.”

So I have a few options through him. I’m going to put an advisory board together in the coming months along with some fund manager friends of mine out of Australia. We’ll have Emerson, of course, heading up the advisory board as well and I think it’s all going to come together really nicely.

INN: How important do you see manganese being in the future development of automotive batteries?

ME: Mercedes Benz is buying forward, buying lithium and other metals as we speak and they have to because the world is waiting for the explosion of cars. They’re coming on now fast and furious, with the Volkswagen (OTC Pink:VLKAF,FWB:VOW) Golf, even Volvo is going 100 percent electric by 2025. I’ve driven an electric car now for three or four years and I absolutely love it. My last car was an exotic; I had an Aston Martin DB9 Volante and it was a beautiful car. But then it was just too fast and I didn’t need it, so I’ve got an electric vehicle, a Nissan (OTC Pink:NSANY,TSE:7201) Leaf, and I love that car. Now I’m looking at the Jag, the new SUV electric that they have.

INN: Right. You’re connected to other markets as well aren’t you?

ME: Yes, yes. Well, all markets. We’re covering a lot of different things with gold through our endeavors in Peru. After two or three months, a group brought us a really nice gold property that is producing gold from two veins. Philip Thomas, a certified Mineral Valuer and Geo Scientist with the Australian Institute of Mineral Valuers and Appraisers, went out and had a close look at the property and he thinks there’s potential there for the swarming of veins that could reveal 12 to 18 veins, but it needs a little bit of money spent on it. We’ll earn our way up to 50 percent on a cash-flowing small gold mine.

There’s a county in the world that has changed all its mining laws and we’ve been working closely with some representatives there on very, very big projects in the gold world. But I don’t want to confuse investors. We have geared towards manganese. If we do something in a big way in gold, we won’t do it directly. Because of the way A.I.S. is structured, we can put an umbrella over a big deal coming in and we can vend it out quite successfully. Then you take the shareholders from A.I.S. and they get a piece of the action as we give birth to another company.

INN: OK, for somebody at home watching right now. What is my investment opportunity with you at the moment?

ME: You’ve got a company that’s capped at C$3.5 million, which of course is nothing these days. The major shareholders in A.I.S. are very big players because of my reputation and where I’ve been and they’re all staying in there, hanging in at five cents. So I think as we close on some of these bigger manganese transactions, the stock is just going to go up, very substantially and very quickly. It’s an opportunity to put some investment into the current situation and be ready for significant developments very, very shortly.

We’ve got the infrastructure, we’ve got the players and we’ve got the pedigree with me and my successes. I’m watching the market and I’m thinking you can’t ignore gold right now. I’ve got a lot of people who’ve said to me, “Look, if you do something, we’ll do something significant with you as well.” So, I’m very confident. As I’ve stressed, we will be managing, we won’t be mining, we’ll be creating another company within A.I.S. as an investment issuer.

INN: Wonderful, thank you very much.

ME: Thank you for a great interview. Thank you.
