TANAKA Succeeds in Developing World’s First High-Entropy Alloy Powder Composed Only of Precious Metals

TOKYO, Oct 25, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – TANAKA Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Koichiro Tanaka), which develops industrial precious metals products as one of the core companies of TANAKA Precious Metals, announced that it has succeeded in creating a high-entropy alloy powder composed of precious metals with a fine particle size of 10µm or less high crystallinity and excellent composition uniformity. This product is the world’s first high-entropy alloy powder composed of only five precious metals: platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), ruthenium (Ru), and rhodium (Rh). TANAKA has already established a mass production process for this product and plans to begin providing samples in October.

TANAKA has established five or more precious metal alloy powders and their production methods, which are used in this product, and obtained a basic patent in June 2023 (Patent No. 7300565)[1]. The precious metal alloy powders in this product are alloys composed only of five or more precious metal elements that maintain the corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and other excellent properties of precious metals. They are micro-order[2] alloy powders that are easy to use in industrial applications. Unlike conventional nano-order precious metal high-entropy alloys, micro-order alloys are stable as alloys due to their large crystallite size, and they satisfy the original requirements of alloys, such as improved mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and controlled thermal expansion. They are also expected to contribute to the improvement of the functions and properties of precious metal alloys, whose properties vary greatly depending on the composition ratio of the alloy.

The precious metal alloy in this product is in powder form, and in addition to modeling using a 3D printer and rod forming (forming rod-shaped material by solidifying powder), it can also be used in paste form, which is often used in various circuits and sensors. Furthermore, the high strength and high heat resistance properties of high-entropy alloys are expected to be utilized in catalysts and conductive films that require high durability, among other applications.

[1] Patent related to high-entropy alloy powder granted on June 29, 2023 (Patent No. 7300565). The precious metal alloy powder in this product is defined as (1) precious metal alloy powder consisting of an alloy of five or more precious metal elements, (2) average particle size of 10µm or less, (3) crystallite size of 60nm or more, and (4) one peak observed in the range of diffraction angle 2θ of 38 to 44° in the X-ray diffraction spectrum.

[2] Order: A term used in physics, engineering, and other fields to roughly express the magnitude of a number. It represents the number of digits or degrees of a unit.

About High-Entropy Alloys

High-entropy alloys are alloys containing five or more elements in equal amounts and are characterized by the absence of major elements that make up most of the alloy. They have been attracting attention as a new category of metallic materials in recent years. Research and development on high-entropy alloys is being actively conducted worldwide, as the properties of the metals and precious metals contained in these alloys can simultaneously produce properties such as high strength and high heat resistance, as well as the possibility of creating new properties.

Doubleview Announces South Lisle Zone Drill Holes Extend the Main Lisle Deposit for 120 meters

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 24, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (GERMANY: A1W038) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce the inaugural drill results from the south extension of the Lisle Zone. Drill holes H057, H058, and H059 have expanded the Lisle Deposit by 120m to the south and increased the volume of mineralization that will be included in the resource estimate which is being prepared by an independent engineering group and scheduled for completion in Q1 of 2024. This zone also encompasses drill hole H067 announced in news release dated 17th of October, 2023. The polymetallic Hat project is located in the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.

Highlights:

Drill hole H058 of the returned assays of 0.49% copper, 0.18 g/t gold, and 33 g/t scandium over 125.8 meters. This intercept may be a continuation of the same horizon that was encountered in the main Lisle deposit’s richer parts. All drill holes of this zone returned greater than average assayed scandium values compared to all other areas the deposit yet.

the reported results of the 2023 season demonstrate that the Lisle Zone is not limited in this direction towards the south,
the Lisle deposit has an inner mineralization of the strongest Scandium values seen thus far on the project,
these drill holes extend the Lisle deposit by an additional 120m by 200m,
mineralization is open in all directions.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, commented “It is exciting to discover these new extensions to the south of the Lisle Zone that have added important dimensions to the deposit and indicate further potential in and to the south. The remaining 2023 drill holes will continue to explore this part of the deposit and we also note the strong contribution of the critical metals, copper, cobalt and scandium. The dimensions of the Hat deposit keep increasing and drilling has not found the limits.”

Mr. Shirvani continued “The 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat polymetallic deposit, and the total meters drilled this season now exceeds 9,000 meters. More results will be announced as they become available.”

Drill hole H-057 intercepted 139.1 m with 0.17g/t gold, 0.23g/t silver, 0.06% copper, 105.3 g/t cobalt and 37.6 g/t scandium, (1.10% Cu Eq). Drill hole H-058 intercepted 654m with 0.27g/t silver, 0.10g/t gold, 0.14% copper, 78.6g/t cobalt and 34.8g/t scandium (1.05% Cu Eq) and included 305.4m with 0.44g/t silver, 0.14g/t gold, 0.26% copper and 32.2g/t scandium (1.11% Cu Eq) and also 125.8m with 0.78g/t silver, 0.22g/t gold, 0.49% copper and 33.0g/t scandium (1.38% Cu Eq). The latter intercept appears to be a direct continuation of a higher grade part of the main Lisle Zone. Drill hole H-059 intercepted 421.7m with 0.18g/t silver, 0.12g/t gold, 0.05% copper and 32.6 g/t scandium (0.93% Cu Eq).

2023 Drill Season:

Doubleview’s goal for the 2023 drill season was to gradually increase the known deposit by strategically drilling new locations, such as the Buck Zone to add more value to the upcoming Q1 2024 resource estimate.

All drill holes in this as well as previous news releases (H054 – H059) have expanded the mineralized envelope of the Lisle Deposit. Table 1 is a compilation of significant intercepts; Table 2 includes drill hole data. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate vertical projections of various drill holes and the southern part of the Lisle Zone.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 19, 2023) – Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTC Pink: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the “Company” or “Casa”) is pleased to announce that it has received a Special Land Use Permit for its Congress Gold Mine project located near the town of Congress in the Martinez Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona. Casa is the owner of a 90% interest in the Congress Gold Mine property.

The Company’s subsidiary Casa Gold (USA) LLC received the Special Land Use Permit for Split Estate Mining Exploration from the Arizona State Land Department. The permit is valid for 5 years.

Casa Minerals Inc.’s president & CEO stated: “We are very excited to have the permit in our hand to continue exploration and drilling at the Congress Gold Mine project including the Shiraz Lode claims which opens additional opportunities for our shareholders. This is an area of great exploration potential that was outlined by Malartic Hygrade Gold Mines, one of the last operators.”

The permit is subject the regular provisions, such as conformity to law, indemnity, insurance, environmental matters etc.

About the Congress Mine

The Congress mine is a shear zone hosted gold-silver deposit: low sulphide gold quartz veins occupy complex structural zones in coarse-grained gneissic granodiorite and pegmatite of Precambrian age. Gold values occur in association with fine-grained pyrite and, frequently, other sulphide minerals.

Most historic production was from the Congress and Niagara veins that are exposed on surface over more than 1060 m (3,500 ft) and 365 m (1200 ft). Both veins trend northwesterly and dip moderately to the north and were variously mined to several hundred metres from surface. Several other gold-bearing veins are referred to in archival documents but have not been investigated.

About Casa Minerals Inc.

The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties located in Canada and the USA. Casa owns ninety percent (90%) interest in the Congress gold mine (Arizona, USA). This historic high-grade gold producing mine has not been explored nor been in production since 1992. Additionally, the Company owns a one hundred percent (100%) interest in the polymetallic Pitman and Keaper properties (BC, Canada) and has an option to acquire a seventy-five percent (75%) interest in the Arsenault VMS Property (BC, Canada).

Doubleview Reports Strong Massive Sulphide Intercept Logged in Drill Hole H067

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 18, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview) is pleased to showcase a long intercept of massive sulphide mineralization in drill hole H068 at its Hat Project. The Hat polymetallic porphyry project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, has demonstrated that it contains several of the metals deemed as “critical metals” by the Canadian and American federal governments.

The accompanying photographs illustrate the character of the mineral zone. The long sulphide intercept will be transported under enhanced security protocols for analytical analysis. Assay results will be published in a subsequent news release upon receipt and verification. Further details, including collar coordinates and orientation, will be provided in the immediate future.

Drill hole H067 was collared 320 metres south of drill hole H034 and is directed to the projected south extension of the Lisle Zone. The strong sulphide mineralization appears to comprise sections of very strong chalcopyrite and pyrite, including about 2 metres of nearly massive chalcopyrite. [Chalcopyrite contains about 30% copper].

Further information and maps are being developed to demonstrate the southern extension of the Lisle zone. It is currently projected that the drilling will extend the deposit for another 450m by 340m towards the south while the deposit is open in all directions.

Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO, stated, “I am pleased to see that our modelling concept has been confirmed with drilling. I am also proud of our dedicated team, including our Tahltan Band members who put their utmost efforts into this season’s drilling campaign, which has been very cost effective and successful. We have drilled 1,500 meters in the past two weeks alone, and that has only been attainable due to the team’s hard work, preparation and efficient execution.”

The following photos depict the intersected mineralization (see this news release on the company’s website if the pictures are not visible).

Doubleview Reports Strong Mineralization Extends Buck Zone of the Lisle Deposit Another 250m South-Southwest

Vancouver, British Columbia–(ACN Newswire – October 16, 2023) – Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce further assay results from drill holes H054, H055 and H056 at the Hat deposit located in northwest British Columbia. Drill hole H054 contains assays with a higher gold content of 0.43 g/t, when generally balanced in comparison with copper 0.32%, scandium 27.3 g/t and cobalt 136.9 g/t, with a 1.29% copper equivalent intercept** over 143 meters. Drill hole H054 has extended the Buck Zone within the Lisle Deposit for another 250m south-southwest. The Hat polymetallic porphyry project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, has demonstrated that it contains several of the metals deem as “critical metals” by the Canadian and American federal governments.

The assay results summarized in Table 1 are open to the south and southwest of the Hat mineralization complex.
The mineralization starts from near the surface and strengthens in mineral content at depth,
Gold and cobalt mineralization are of higher grades in comparison with copper towards the south and southwest of the Lisle Deposit,
Strength of all metals with increased depth is notable in all drill holes to date in the Buck Zone,
The Buck Zone within the Lisle Deposit currently covers an area more than 400m x 450m and is open to the north-northeast, south, southwest, and to depth,
The Buck Zone connects the West Lisle, Main Lisle and Southern Lisle zones with strong mineralization.

The gradual approach to increasing the Buck Zone’s dimensions is anticipated to add more value to the upcoming Q1 2024 resource estimate. All drill holes in this news release (H054 – H056) have expanded the mineralized envelope of the Lisle Deposit. Table 2 depicts the location of drill holes H054, H055 and H056.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, commented, “The ongoing drilling campaign continues to exceed all expectations and the Company will continue working as long as weather permits. The 2023 program is designed to increase the dimensions of the Hat Deposit with the intention, upon completion of the NI 43-101 Resource Estimate, of having the project recognized as containing an outstanding resource, with exceptional metals extraction and recoveries. All holes drilled in 2023 are expected to be included in the forthcoming resource evaluation.”

Mr. Shirvani continued, “The 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat polymetallic deposit, and the total meters drilled this season now exceeds 8,700 meters.”

“These exceptional drilling results have confirmed the potential of Target IV,” stated Stephen Burega, president. “The assay results received to date showcase substantial mineralization across 100% of the drill holes.”

Tom Drivas, CEO, said, “It’s very exciting to witness the PCH Ionic Clay project’s potential increasing through this Phase 1 drilling campaign with the average depth of mineralized zones increasing to 13 metres while consistently delivering extraordinary overall assay values which, in many cases, are from top to bottom of the hole.”

He continued, “Ionic Clay Rare Earths Deposits are usually found within the top 10-20m from surface; they are easier to mine, more environmentally friendly because they contain low or no radioactivity; exhibit simpler metallurgy therefore easier and cheaper to process; and contain good amounts of both the very valuable heavy and light magnet rare earths that are in high demand for cleaner electrification and use in a large number of high tech applications.”

The PCH Ionic Clay Project drilling has resulted in 17 holes with a weighted average value of 1,566 ppm TREO, which is comparable to, or surpasses, other well-known international deposits. “This initial batch of samples has revealed MREO that account for approximately 25% of TREO, producing notable overall values up to 1,189 ppm. We have identified high-grade values that are exceptional in terms of both width and grades,” stated Carlos Bastos, Brazilian Qualified Person and Geology Manager.

Target IV marks a significant milestone for Appia’s PCH Ionic Clay project, and the Company eagerly anticipates receiving further assay results from the SGS Geosol labs. “These results reaffirm our commitment to exploring the entire PCH project area which covers an impressive 17,551 hectares with a significant area still open to bluesky early-stage exploration, and we look forward to sharing more exciting developments in the near future,” commented Stephen Burega.

Background on the PCH Project

The PCH Project is located within the Tocantins Structural Province in the Brasília Fold Belt, more specifically, the Arenópolis Magmatic Arc. The PCH Project is 17,551.07 ha in size and located within the Goiás State of Brazil. It is classified as an alkaline intrusive rock occurrence with highly anomalous REE and Niobium mineralization. This mineralization is related to alkaline lithologies of the Fazenda Buriti Plutonic Complex and the hydrothermal and surface alteration products of this complex by supergene enrichment in a tropical climate. The positive results of the recent geochemical exploration work carried out to date indicates the potential for REEs within lateritic ionic adsorption clays and Niobium.

Reverse circulation (RC) drill holes are sampled at one metre intervals, resulting in higher average sample size of 5-25 kg. A small representative specimen was taken from each sample bag and placed into a chip tray for visual inspection and logging by the geologist. Quartering was performed at Appia’s logging facility using a riffle splitter and continued splitting until a representative sample weighing approximately 500g each was obtained, bagged in a resistant plastic bag, labeled, photographed, and stored for shipment.

The samples were sent to the SGS laboratory in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais. Despite the SGS Lab owning internal QA/QC, Appia has used its own control samples in each batch sent to the laboratory.

Quality control samples, such as blank, duplicate, and standard (CRM) were inserted into each analytical run. For all analysis methods, the minimum number of QA/QC samples is one standard, one duplicate and one blank, introduced every batch which comprise a full-length hole. The rigorous procedures implemented during the sample collection, preparation, and analysis stages underscore the robustness and reliability of the analytical results obtained.

All analytical results reported herein have passed internal QA/QC review and compilation. All assay results of RC samples were provided by SGS Geosol, an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certified laboratory, which performed their measure of the concentration of rare earth elements (REE) analyses by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analytical methods.
