First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTC: FSTTF) (the "Company" or "First Tellurium"), reports that the Company's Strategic Partner Fenix Advanced Materials of Trail, BC, has provided additional funding to the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) to advance research and development of solid-state, lithium-tellurium batteries. The new batteries are designed to increase performance and stability specifically for powering electric vehicles. UBCO, home to over 11,562 undergraduate and graduate students, is a renowned research and innovation hub situated in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley.
As reported in First Tellurium's March 9 , 2022 news release, UBCO, in cooperation with Fenix, has developed a lithium ion tellurium battery that could meet a number of performance and safety needs for the EV battery market. Tellurium can extend lithium battery life up to 400% and in some cases hold ten times the charge (as reported January 26, 2022 ). The advanced and patented product is nearing commercial production. A recent Global News cast on the technology can be viewed here .
"Considering the Biden administration's recent commitment to provide nearly three billion dollars to boost production of advanced batteries, development of the lithium-tellurium battery is timely," said First Tellurium CEO Tyrone Docherty. "At the same time, Canada is developing its own Critical Minerals Strategy , backed by a commitment approaching four billion dollars in 2022, to address the need for metals like tellurium for advanced battery technology."
The UBC program, led by the UBC Okanagan Principal's Research Chair in Energy Storage Technologies Dr. Jian Liu, represents an important step toward building a battery supply chain locally while strengthening Fenix's international position in the growing battery market.
"This partnership with UBCO has played a key role in helping to uncover some exciting innovations in new battery technology and other clean technology solutions," said Fenix Founder Don Freschi. "We are thrilled to take this next step." Mr. Freschi also sits on First Tellurium's Advisory Board.
Fenix is supplying the pure tellurium required for UBCO's battery development. Tellurium has high electrical conductivity and a high volumetric capacity—meaning it can help create small, but powerful batteries. The collaboration with Fenix will ensure Dr. Liu and his team have the materials to conduct their research.
Under the Fenix-FTEL Strategic Partnership, First Tellurium plans to supply Fenix with tellurium from the Company's Deer Horn Project in west-central BC, situated south of Imperial Metals' Huckleberry Mine. First Tellurium is the only junior mining company focused on exploring for and supplying tellurium, and the Deer Horn Project represents North America's only tellurium-silver-gold property with an NI 43-101 compliant tellurium resource.
Said Docherty, "Fenix is a leader in supplying ultra-pure critical metals like tellurium to industry. They're well-positioned to benefit from the world's push to move away from fossil fuels."

First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTC: FSTTF) (the "Company" or "First Tellurium"), reports that it has secured Canadian Remote Drilling Services ("CRDS") of Maple Ridge, BC and Las Vegas, Nevada to conduct exploration drill campaigns at both the Klondike tellurium-gold project in Colorado and the Deer Horn tellurium-gold-silver project in British Columbia.
FTEL's immediate focus is at the Deer Horn Project, while the Klondike campaign is expected to launch later this year.
"Canadian Remote Drilling, led by Phil McLean, is a highly-regarded operator with over forty years of experience worldwide," said First Tellurium President and CEO Tyrone Docherty. "We're fortunate to have secured their services, especially considering the tight market for quality drilling companies."
Docherty noted that CRDS also manufactures leading edge drills used by a number of major mining companies. "Considering CRDS' experience, technical know-how and track record, we're confident that the program will be managed efficiently and professionally. We look forward to working with Mr. McLean and his team."
Drilling at the Colorado Klondike property will follow up on high-grade showings of both tellurium and gold identified through exploration by First Solar Inc. as part of their tellurium exploration initiative in the mid-2000s. During that time, First Solar performed geophysics, sampling, drill targeting, and permitting at Klondike. Following a corporate mandate to terminate their exploration initiative and source tellurium through open markets, First Solar dropped Klondike prior to drilling the identified targets. The property was then acquired by FTEL's Colorado Project Manager John Keller, P.Geo, who had managed Klondike exploration for First Solar. Mr. Keller, along with others who worked for First Solar at Klondike, will direct the upcoming drill program for FTEL.
As reported in the 2015 Colorado Mineral and Energy Industry Activities 2014-2015 publication, surface sampling by First Solar in 2006 found very high tellurium grades of up to 3.3% (33,000 ppm), along with locally high gold grades. The report noted that Tellurium grades at Klondike were the highest encountered in the First Solar's nationwide exploration program.
"With the growing focus on critical metals for green energy, the Klondike Property really stands out for its high-grade tellurium showings," said Docherty. "There's a good reason First Solar wanted Klondike to help supply tellurium for their cadmium-telluride solar panel production. They completed a lot of high-quality exploration, from which we're now benefitting."
Near-term drilling at the Deer Horn Project, located south of Imperial Metals' Huckleberry Mine and Surge Copper's Ootsa-Berg Project, is expected to focus on the copper porphyry showings reported in FTEL's August 23 news release. The objective is to gain a better understanding of potential porphyry systems related to these targets.
Drilling at Deer Horn in 2023 is targeted to further evaluate the known Te-Ag-Au resource, as recommended in the 2018 Preliminary Economic Assessment.
"We're very excited about taking these next steps at Deer Horn and learning more," said Docherty. "The copper targets span a very large area, and the current identified tellurium, silver and gold resource occupies only 450 meters of a 2.4 kilometer-long surface expression."
In a 2012 presentation to the International Minor Metals Conference in Cologne, Germany, First Solar identified Deer Horn as one of the world's top four primary tellurium properties, comparing Deer Horn to projects in China, Mexico and Sweden.
"Combining the drill campaigns on both properties, including current copper porphyry investigations underway at Deer Horn, we expect an active exploration pipeline over the coming 12-18 months," said Docherty. "We look forward to sharing news and results with our shareholders."

First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (OTC: FSTTF) (the "Company" or "First Tellurium"), reports that a work crew is mobilizing for further investigation of potential copper porphyry systems at the Deer Horn Project in west-central British Columbia. Deer Horn is located 36 kilometers south of Imperial Metals' Huckleberry open pit copper mine and Surge Copper's Ootsa-Berg project.
The program, expected to begin before Labor Day, is led by Dr. Lee Groat of the University of British Columbia. Dr. Groat is a Professor at UBC's Dept. of Earth and Ocean Sciences and a former NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at Cambridge University.
"Dr. Groat's team will follow up on three copper showings first discovered at Deer Horn in 2012," said FTEL CEO Tyrone Docherty. "As reported in our latest PEA, the showings were indicative of a copper porphyry system hidden from previous explorers due to glaciation. With the glaciers receding, we now have extensive new ground to explore with untapped potential."
The May 2018 PEA noted that bulk-tonnage, porphyry-style copper-silver mineralization and associated alteration was discovered north of the Deer Horn adit. Another new area of anomalous copper-gold mineralization was discovered along ridge crests northwest of Kenney Lake. The extent of both discoveries remains open and unknown at this time.
The copper showings are located about one kilometer west-northwest of the known Te-Ag-Au resource zone and also northeast of the resource. Prospecting of these showings will include use of portable spectrometer, which can greatly enhance identification and measurement of mineral systems.
"A copper porphyry system would add significant value to the Deer Horn Property's mineral mix," said Docherty. "While we've long focused on the tellurium-silver-gold zone, Dr. Groat has always championed the potential of other metals on the property. It's important to remember that Deer Horn covers more than fifty-one square kilometers, most of it unexplored."
The area around the Huckleberry Mine and Surge Copper's Ootsa-Berg project is being recognized as one of the province's most exciting emerging copper districts with significant untapped exploration potential. Recent discoveries by Surge Copper have added to interest in the region.
"Both copper and tellurium are critical for new battery technology," said Docherty. "New advances in lithium-tellurium (Li-Te) batteries show great promise for efficiency, safety and battery life, while copper is essential for development of electric vehicles. We feel the Company is well positioned to capitalize on both trends."
The Company also announces that it has granted 100,000 incentive stock options to a consultant of the Company, exercisable at a price of $0.19 per share for a period of 10 years.

First Tellurium Corp. (CSE: FTEL) (the "Company" or "First Tellurium"), reports that the Company is finalizing upcoming work programs for both its Deer Horn Project in British Columbia and Klondike Project in Colorado. Exploration will focus initially on the Deer Horn Property, with work expected to begin in September.
"Work at Deer Horn will concentrate on the copper porphyry showings detailed in our latest PEA," said FTEL CEO Tyrone Docherty. "While Deer Horn supports one of the world's only NI 43-101 qualified tellurium-silver-gold resources, past prospecting has revealed significant potential for copper porphyry mineralization outside of the known resource area."
Docherty added that, with the world's increasing focus on green metals, especially with new programs from the United States in support of domestic critical metals production, First Tellurium is strategically positioned to help meet this demand.
"First Tellurium has long been recognized as the leading tellurium-focused junior miner," said Docherty. "However, with the surging need for copper for electrification, we're seeing renewed interest in the Deer Horn property's copper potential."
Deer Horn's May 2018 Preliminary Economic Assessment noted that copper showings there may be evidence of a largely hidden porphyry copper systems. Samples collected from this zone produced results as high as 4240 ppm Cu and 6.6 g/t Ag. This new copper porphyry potential adds further exploration value to the property.
The copper showings are located about one kilometer west-northwest of the known Te-Ag-Au resource zone and also northeast of the resource.
Said Docherty, "More and more, this district that includes the Huckleberry Mine and Surge Copper's Ootsa-Berg project, is being recognized as one of the province's most exciting emerging copper districts."
In a recent news release, Surge Copper CEO Leif Nilsson noted that "…this district has significant untapped exploration potential and could one day be among the largest copper districts in Canada."
In Colorado, First Tellurium's exploration at the Klondike Project will focus on drilling the property's significant tellurium potential. Surface sampling by First Solar, Inc. in 2006 found very high tellurium grades of up to 3.3% (33,000 ppm) at Klondike, along with locally high gold grades. Tellurium grades at Klondike were the highest encountered in the company's nationwide exploration program.

GCM Mining Corp. ("GCM Mining" or the "Company") (TSX: GCM, OTCQX: TPRFF) announced today that the Company has received positive recommendations from both Institutional Shareholder Services ("ISS") and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC ("Glass Lewis") in support of the proposed plan of arrangement of GCM Mining and Aris Gold Corporation ("Aris Gold") announced on July 25, 2022.
ISS and Glass Lewis are leading independent, third-party proxy advisory firms who provide proxy voting recommendations to pension funds, investment managers, mutual funds, and other institutional shareholders.
In making their recommendation, ISS commented:
"The transaction makes strategic sense as the arrangement will create a combined company with a balanced portfolio of operating and development assets with increased scale and diversification, significant free cash flow to unlock shareholder value, and involves potential cost reduction synergies of approximately $10 million per year. In addition, the at-market-value merger is expected to provide the combined company with an opportunity to re-rate its share price, improved balance sheet and enhanced capital markets profile. In light of the reasonable strategic rationale and streamlined corporate structure with direct realizable synergies, shareholder approval of this resolution is warranted."
"In conclusion, we find the proposed arrangement both strategically and financially compelling, structured in a reasonable manner for GCM shareholders. The board appears to have formed a reasonable basis in determining that the acquisition of Aris Gold represents the best path forward to enhance shareholder value. The combined company will have complementary assets, enhanced financial and operational scale, a seasoned management team and board, and various opportunities to realize incremental value for shareholders. In sum, we believe shareholders are likely to realize greater value following the transaction than would otherwise be delivered under the Company's status quo. Moreover, having reviewed the terms of the transaction, we believe the all-stock merger consideration represents a reasonable and fair price for GCM to pay, considering the complementary nature of the assets and the prevailing market and transaction valuations recently observed in the gold mining industry. Therefore, we believe the proposed transaction represents an appropriate use of the Company's equity capital, given the value-creation opportunity presented by the transaction. Based on these factors, along with the support of the board, we believe the proposed share issuance for the acquisition is in the best interests of shareholders."

Thomas Klein, VP Exploration commented, "I am excited about the exploration program we have in front of us. For the past two years, it has been challenging to engage drill rigs in Nevada with qualified teams. We are fortunate to have recently engaged Envirotech to commence our 2022-2023 exploration program. We have priority targets on several projects and expect significant field activity with respective news flow over the course of the next several months. I am optimistic that we could have several significant discoveries. Additionally, the targets identified by Goldspot provides a portfolio of high potential targets to add to our already large land package in Nevada."
John Seaberg, NV Gold's Chief Executive Officer added, "NV Gold is at a pivotal juncture in its evolution. We have amassed a significant portfolio of high priority gold properties in Nevada and are excited to test their potential, many of which have never been drilled before. We will be very active over the course of the next several months as we begin to unlock the hidden value of these properties.

GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) ("GoldHaven" or the "Company") has doubled the size of its Smoke Mountain land position from 4,190 hectares to 8,645 hectares based on preliminary results from geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys conducted during the 2022 Smoke Mountain summer exploration program.
GoldHaven CEO, Justin Canivet reports "Preliminary results from work at Smoke Mountain confirm the gold and copper potential of the Project . The distribution of favourable host rocks coupled with newly defined geochemical anomalies drove the decision to add additional ground, more than doubling GOH's land position and significantly strengthening our presence in the highly endowed Central British Columbia Copper-Gold Belt ."
GoldHaven's recently enlarged 8,645 hectare Smoke Mountain property is strategically situated within an extensive 85 kilometre polymetallic belt that is highly prospective for gold-silver-zinc epithermal systems, porphyry copper-gold deposits, as well as gold and silver-rich magmatic-hydrothermal occurrences . The property is road accessible from Houston via a series of gravel forest service roads off Highway 16.
Exploration activity in the area has been renewed in this historic mining region , propelled by the ongoing expansion of advanced exploration projects and mines including:
Note: the mines and advanced exploration and development projects in the Central BC porphyry-epithermal provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain Property, but this is not necessarily indicative that the Smoke Mountain Property hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.
GoldHaven has executed a 30 day fieldwork campaign including geological mapping, soil sampling, stream sediment sampling and prospecting/rock sampling as well as airborne LiDAR, MAG, Radiometrics and Z-Tipper Axis Electromagnetic (ZTEM) surveys. All field data is currently being processed and evaluated and final results are expected in Q4, 2022.
The historic Central BC porphyry-epithermal belt is re-emerging as an important copper-gold-silver jurisdiction as evidenced by increased staking activity and exploration drilling. The region is quickly becoming known for its long mineralized drill intercepts including Universal Copper's 216m interval grading 0.54% CuEq ( click here for release) and has the potential to host some of the largest copper-polymetallic discoveries in British Columbia .
In recent news, Surge Copper expanded their Ootsa project by 96% to a total of 439Mt grading 0.32% CuEq ( click here for release) increasing their total mineralized inventory in the southern part of this belt to over 1 billion tonnes (measured and indicated).
These results in the immediate vicinity of GoldHaven's Smoke Mountain project showcase the exceptional regional endowment and metallogenic character of the Late Cretaceous arc rocks hosted within this belt. GoldHaven's exploration upside lies in the 2.5km long untested and under-explored alteration and mineralization trend currently being examined by our field team at Smoke Mountain .
Note: T he adjacent mines and advanced exploration and development projects in the Central BC porphyry-epithermal provide geologic context for the Smoke Mountain Property, but this is not necessarily indicative that the Smoke Mountain Property hosts similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.
Daniel MacNeil , P.Geo, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has read and approved all technical and scientific information contained in this news release. Mr. MacNeil is Technical Advisor to GoldHaven Resources Corp.
GoldHaven Resources Corp. is a Canadian junior precious metals exploration Company focused on acquiring and exploring highly prospective land packages in both Canada and Chile. GoldHaven maintains a strategic presence in the gold and silver rich Maricunga Gold Belt of Northern Chile which is host to several mining and advanced exploration projects including Salares Norte (Gold Fields), Esperanza (Kingsgate Consolidated), La Coipa ( Kinross ), Cerro Maricunga ( Fenix Gold ), Lobo-Marte ( Kinross ), Volcan (Volcan), Refugio ( Kinross /Bema), Caspiche (Goldcorp/Barrick), and Cerro Casale (Goldcorp/Barrick). The Company has identified a total of 12 high-priority targets at its Alicia and Roma project areas in the Maricunga within a prominent regional NW-SE structural trend along strike from Gold Fields' Salares Norte deposit (5.2 million ounces of Gold 7) . These targets have been designated "High Priority" due to the extent, pervasive alteration, favourable geology, highly anomalous rock geochemical results, and their relative proximity to existing deposits. GoldHaven is also making exploration progress at its Smoke Mountain property ( Canada ) which is strategically located in the Central British Columbia Porphyry-Epithermal Belt in close proximity to Surge Copper's Berg project, as well as its Pat's Pond project in Newfoundland's Central Newfoundland Gold Belt ( Canada ). Pat's Pond is strategically located less than 20km from Marathon Gold's 3.14 Moz 8 Valentine Gold Project and on strike from the Boomerang/Domino VMS deposit. Pat's Pond is highly prospective for gold, copper, silver and zinc and has large scale discovery potential. GoldHaven engages proactively with local and Indigenous rightsholders and seeks to develop relationships and agreements that are mutually beneficial to all stakeholders.
Note: The deposits/mines near GoldHaven's properties provide geologic context, but this is not necessarily indicative that GoldHaven properties host similar grades or tonnages of mineralization.
