Lara Signs Option to Acquire Damolandia Nickel Sulphide Project in Brazil
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/01/16 -- Lara Exploration Ltd. ("Lara" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: LRA) is pleased to report that it has signed an Option Agreement ("the Agreement") with BCV Consultoria e Projetos Ltda. ("BCV"), to acquire the Damolandia Nickel Project in central Brazil.
The property comes with an extensive database of airborne and terrestrial geophysics, geochemistry and drilling, including seven diamond drill holes (for a total of 1,553 metres) completed in 2008, which intersected a shallowly-plunging, pipe-like body of disseminated nickel-copper sulphide mineralization approximately 600 metres long and open down plunge. Table 1., below, summarizes the drill intersections that reported greater than 0.2% nickel values.
Lara's interpretation is that the target may represent the distal extension of more massive mineralization. Certainly there are several geophysical anomalies along the trend, including electromagnetic (conductivity) anomalies, with coincident soil geochemical anomalies that may reflect more massive sulphides, which were not tested at the time.
Damolandia Purchase Option
Under the terms of the Agreement with BCV, Lara has agreed to make staged cash payments totalling US$580,000 as follows in Table 2.
BCV will also be entitled to a 1% net smelter return royalty on any production, but Lara retains the right to purchase this royalty for a cash payment of US$2 million.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Industry standard sample procedures and QA-QC methodologies were utilized at the time. Sampling intervals vary from less than one metre in the sulphide-rich intervals up to three metres in weakly to non-mineralized zones. The samples were shipped to the SGS Geosol sample preparation laboratory in Goiania, then to their main laboratory in Belo Horizonte. Following multi-acid digestion, analysis was by ICP for 31 elements and fire assay for precious metals. Check assays included 33 element four-acid ICP and XRF at ALS laboratories in Lima, Peru and Vancouver, Canada respectively and by XRF at SGS Geosol, in Belo Horizonte. The QA-QC procedures also included the insertion of blanks every 40 samples and certified standards every 20 samples.
