Stock of the week: Maple Gold Mines
Maple Gold Mines with top-class drill results!
Maple Gold Mines recently announced top-class drill results! DO-18-216 intersected 52m grading 3.53 g/t Au, within a broader, 158.2m interval grading 1.25 g/t Au from 335m downhole the south-central part of the Porphyry Zone. These results also include 21m grading 7.87 g/t Au and a very high-grade intercept of 1.5m with 86.19 g/t Au.
Drill-hole DO-18-203, collared 439m to the SE of DO-18-216, targeted the down-dip and down-plunge extension of Porphyry Zone mineralization and cut 19.0m of 0.88 g/t Au.
This interval appears to represent one of the 5th best intervals in the entire 760+ drill-hole database and the best intercept reported from the Porphyry Zone to-date, with only a fraction (~25%) of the assays received to-date, and one that indicates this particular zone widens and may extend beyond the currently-defined zone with higher grades.

Market Watch:
Uranium stocks start running – could this be the trigger for the whole sector?
It was a little bit surprising that the major uranium stocks – first of all Cameco – started running last week, with jumps of more than 10% within only two days. Winners were – among others – north American and especially US stocks like Uranium Energy, Energy Fuels and Laramide Resources. This all without any important news on production cuts (as been seen several times within the last few months) or import- and export-restrictions, like some US companies would like to achieve and Russia would like to terminate. Also, the uranium spot price made no move upwards. Altogether, such a jump in uranium stock prices perplexes. Is there some early money coming back into the uranium sector? Especially Cameco, but also Uranium Energy and Energy Fuels showed some rising volumes, exactly the companies, which are able to produce or come back into production in a short time. There is some noise below the surface – maybe a first sign for a bigger volcanic event?!

Aurania Resources: new discovery and soil sample results
Aurania Resources recently reported, that reconnaissance exploration crews have found silica blocks indicative of an entirely new epithermal system, the “Charip” target, some 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of the Latorre area in its Lost Cities – Cutucu Project in southeastern Ecuador. In addition, the Company has received soil geochemistry results that refine the Crunchy Hill target and move it a step closer to drill-testing.
Furthermore, results have recently been received from soil samples that were collected over a regular grid on the recently discovered Crunchy Hill target area, identified by vuggy silica in outcrop. The soil sample analytical results identify metal enrichment that effectively refines the size and shape of this target. Based on this, we estimate that the target could cover an area of 400 meters by 100-200 meters.
