Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 43.069.751 von SPLIT_VCK am 21.04.12 13:51:50

Die Frage ist doch sehr simpel -musst Du Dich an einer Einschätzung des Keweenaw Projektes/Optionslizenzgebiet versuchen.


Die, über 3 Jahre, zugesagten Investitionen(bei/für nur 65%) sehen für mich schon sehr ordentlich aus. Das geht schon n Eckchen über das "Normal" von Explorationsvereinbarungen hinaus, scheinen sie sich subsequenterweise biddl was auszurechnen. Die historischen Resourcengrade, über die Deposits verteilt, sind ausgezeichnet, die Gesamttonnage aber nicht "sooo" groß. Aber auch net klein -müssten uuum die 17.000.000(bei jeweils niedrigerem gewähltem Cut-off) Tonnen sein.

Also wenn sie die Resourcen bestätigen könnten("Located in what was once one of the largest producing copper districts in the world(11.500.000.000 pounds produced)"), bei diesen Graden, die sich gewaschen haben, dann könnte das schon nochmal interessant werden/Musik drin liegen. So ´ne Grade, v.a. in einem politisch nicht instabilen Land, werden iiiimmer weniger entdeckt, bzw. geht schon "fast gen 0" -kannst eigentlich auf die "Red List of Threatened Species" setzen. Das geht eher alles gen <0.75%, Tendenz klar abwärts. Aber auch dann in meinen Augen eher nix für unmittelbar, sondern möglicherweise erst irrgendwann später mal. Noch sind da Viiielzuviele Unbekannte/Variablen drin. Hast Recht -is schon hart von <34.000.000, auf >240.000.000 Aktien I/O verwässert zu werden. Aber die hatten davor, wie es ausschaut(??), ja gar nix. Von daher is sowas ja net unwahrscheinlich -da kannst dann wählen zwischen Ewigkeiten "in der Bedeutungslosigkeit rumhängen", oder sowas.

Aber Thx, werd mir das Teil mal angucken, v.a. zu einem Eindruck von potenziellem weiteren/über die hist. Resourcen hinaus Explorationspotenzial, Anbindung +warum die Arbeiten dann da offensichtlich schon vor mehreren Jahrzehnten eingestellt wurden -und eventl. zu einem dankbaren User des Verteilers werden.

[Popeye82]

Kleine Ergänzung -also der "bunte Mix" an jeweiligen Schätzungen basieren auf ner ganzen Menge unterschiedlicher Auftraggeber/Arbeiten. Sie selber geben das "Explorationspotenzial"(darauf basierend) auch mit nur "The individual properties collectively contain a potential target, based upon past drilling +underground sampling of nearly 10.000.000 tonnes of about 2.4% copper" an. Wobei ich da schon klar auf was anderes, mehr, gekommen bin? Da wär dann sich schon n Thema zu gucken dass/ob sie auch ne gewisse "kritische Masse" erreichen.

Die Hälfte etwa sulfidisch. Wobei, wenn ich das jetzt richtig in Erinnerung habe, das in dem Mineral "Chalcocite" eingebunden nochma interessant sein/werden könnte -da das meines Wissens nach einige wirtschaftlich sehr günstige Eigenschaften aufweist. Hab das erst vor kurzem wo gelesen, muss nochma schauen.


Zum Explorationspotenzial, dieser Region, scheint mir auf einen ersten Eindruck schon so einiges möglich. Das könnte, m.E.n., schon n wesentlich weiter gefasstes System, als die hist. Resourcen, sein. Wobei sie wesentliches(weiteres) Explorationspotenzial scheinbar nur in den besagten "Chalcocite"-Zielen sehen.

Scheint auch ne "Politische Kiste" zu sein, die Story -da es scheinbar schon das Ziel ist die Region wieder als "signifikanten Kupferförderer zu reaktivieren". Aber sowas ist ja meistens net so ganz simpel, und wohl, im Minimum, mit einigem an (zusätzlicher)Zeit verbunden.

Zitat von Popeye82: Aber Thx, werd mir das Teil mal angucken... -und eventl. zu einem dankbaren User des Verteilers werden.

Dafür reicht.


Kaufen würd ich die klar nich, aber könnt schon lohnenswert sein die Story mal im Auge zu behalten.

Danke für deine Einschätzung. ich war auf der Suche nach einem anderen invest auf die News gestoßen. Ich fand die menge der Aktien, im Vergleich zum Kurs extrem verwirrend. klar das historische Funde eine Grundlage sein können, aber das wusste manja schon vorher. jetzt in dem Moment die Finanzierung zu stemmen ist schon bemerkenswert. Dachte zuerst, es wäre natürlich auch mögliche gerade so ein Momentum auszunutzen um die 16 Mio gewinnbringend an den mann zu bringen. In dem Gedankenspiel machte aber der niedrige Kurs nicht mit.

Werde hier auch auf der Lauer liegen, was die Aktie in der nächsten zeit macht.

Highland Resources announces start of drilling campaign on the Keweenaw Copper Project in Michigan, USA; Initial drilling to target high grade near-surface chalcocite zones - Jul 23, 2012
www.highlandresources.ca/s/news.asp?ReportID=538158

"July 23, ´12 - Vancouver, British Columbia -- Highland Resources Inc. (TSXV: HI) ("Highland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, following the recent amendment to its Mining Venture Agreement with BRP LLC +Keweenaw Copper Co.(the "Agreement") +the completion of a $16.500.000 private placement, the Company has started a drilling program on the Keweenaw Copper Project in northernmost Michigan. Two drills are already on site.

From about 1850-1968 the Keweenaw Peninsula produced 5.400.000 short tons of copper, mostly as native copper concentrated in the tops of basalt lava flows +within interbedded conglomerates. For a long period this area produced >80% of all copper consumed in the USA. Sulfide minerals were rare in the native copper ores, but in the ´60s primary chalcocite mineralization, also in basalt flow tops, was discovered in a 20 mile long belt east of the native copper mines. Chalcocite is a copper sulfide containing about 80% Cu. Follow-up exploration drilling located numerous zones of chalcocite mineralization of potential economic interest, but low copper prices discouraged additional exploration.

One zone of chalcocite, the 543S sulphide deposit, was explored with 101 diamond drill holes from ´73 -´77 +is the most advanced mineralized zone. The 543S deposit contains a historic resource estimate of 4.500.000 short tons averaging 2.27% Cu @a 0.75% Cu cutoff grade as described in a Technical Report by Behre Dolbear & Company, Ltd. titled "Centennial +Kingston Native Copper, 543S, +Other Copper Sulfide Properties, Houghton +Keweenaw Counties, Michigan, USA'' dated September 29, ´11. This estimate is not compliant under NI 43-101 guidelines +must not be used to evaluate economic viability. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Small amounts of native copper +native silver are also present. The historical resource estimate is contained in six separate zones averaging 16 ft. true thickness that are inclined to the north @about 40 degrees. Several of these zones come to the bedrock surface under unconsolidated glacial deposits that are 10 -100 ft thick. Oxidation is shallow due to recent glaciation. The chalcocite zones have a low total sulfide content +the wall rocks contain abundant acid-consuming minerals.

The Company's objective is to complete ~100 diamond drill holes to confirm the size +grade of the non-compliant 543S historic resource estimate by the end of ´12. Resource modeling will begin in early ´13 if justified. @least five additional, incompletely drilled chalcocite zones are now targeted for drilling immediately following work on the 543S zone. Numerous unexplored copper-in-soil anomalies from the ´70s exploration work in the Chalcocite Belt will also be evaluated for initial drilling, in addition to more broadly-based geophysical studies.

Ross R. Grunwald, the Company's VP Exploration stated, "This project "combines the "unusual opportunity" to confirm non-compliant historic results on a well-drilled high-grade chalcocite deposit with exploration drilling on numerous incompletely or undrilled deposits that, "if successful", provide considerable upside potential in a relatively short period of time in a major mining district that has been largely ignored for the past 35 years "."

Pursuant to the amended Agreement, the Company has the right to earn up to a 65% interest in Keweenaw Copper Project covering about 13,000 acres of mineral rights for consideration of US$750,000 cash, 1,000,000 common shares of the Company, and US$11,500,000 to be spent on a development and exploration program on the project by October 26, 2015. At the end of the earn-in period and as a condition to earning its 65% interest, Highland is required to produce a feasibility study to be prepared by an independent consultant selected by the management committee.

For more information about the Keweenaw Copper Project, please refer to the Behre Dolbear's NI 43-101 Technical Report, available on the Company's website at www.highlandresources.ca and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The technical information contained in this release has been reviewed and approved by Ross R. Grunwald, PhD., Vice president - Exploration for the Company. Dr. Grunwald is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101.

Highland Resources Intersects 20.5 Meters of 2.24% Cu @the Keweenaw Copper Project, Michigan, USA - Oct 3, 2012
www.marketwire.com/press-release/highland-resources-intersec…
http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/figs1_21003.pdf

"VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 3, 2012) - Highland Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HI) ("Highland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from the first 17 diamond drill holes for which all assays have been received from the Keweenaw Copper Project in northern Michigan. Some of the longer intersections include:

- Hole CEN 302: 20.5 meters of 2.24% Cu
- Hole CEN 308: 9.0 meters of 2.10% Cu
- Hole CEN 309: 12.0 meters of 3.24% Cu
- Hole CEN 312: 13.1 meters of 3.02% Cu
- Hole CEN 313: 10.4 meters of 1.77% Cu
- Hole CEN 331: 17.0 meters of 2.07% Cu


Assay results are summarized in Table 1 below and drill hole locations are on Figure 1. The objective of the exploration program initiated in July is to confirm in compliance with NI 43-101 the historical resource of the 543S deposit originally discovered in the early 1970s. Lens-like zones of mineralization consist mostly of primary chalcocite in altered basalt flow top breccias accompanied by small amounts of native copper and native silver (see cross section 200E in Figure 2). Traces of other sulfide minerals are also present. Mineralization comes to the bedrock surface and is covered by 3 to 30 meters of glacial deposits.

"The alteration and mineralization intersected by Highland are identical to the available historic core and we are encouraged that the historic resource estimates from the 543S deposit may be duplicated by the current drill program" noted Dr. Ross R. Grunwald, Vice president - Exploration for Highland. "Four drills are operating at the project and the initial plan is to complete roughly 20,000 meters in 100 holes by mid-late October. Upon completion of the planned program we will evaluate the need for interspaced holes at 543S and will consider moving drills to several of the numerous additional chalcocite prospects in this area."

The 2012 drill holes are within an area of 101 historic diamond drill holes called the 543S sulphide deposit, a zone of chalcocite mineralization that was explored from 1973-1977 and briefly in the mid-nineties. The 543S deposit contains a historic resource estimate of 4.5 million short tons averaging 2.27% Cu at a 0.75% Cu cutoff grade as described in a Technical Report by Behre Dolbear & Company, Ltd. titled "Centennial and Kingston Native Copper, 543S, and Other Copper Sulfide Properties, Houghton and Keweenaw Counties, Michigan, USA'' dated September 29, 2011. The Company has not completed the work necessary to classify the historical estimate mentioned above as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources as defined in NI 43-101 and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. Highland's objective is to complete approximately 100 diamond drill holes to confirm the size and grade of the non-compliant 543S historic resource estimate. Resource modeling will begin in early 2013 if justified. The historical resource estimate is contained in six separate lenses averaging 5.0 meters (16.5 ft.) true thickness that dip about 40° to the north.

About Highland and the Keweenaw Copper Project

Highland is a Canadian exploration company focused on exploring and developing copper projects on the Keweenaw Peninsula within the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, U.S.A. through its 100%-held subsidiary, Keweenaw Copper Co. The Keweenaw Copper Project covers about 13,000 acres of mineral rights and is being explored under a Mining Venture Agreement between Highland and BRP LLC. The agreement allows Highland to earn a 65 percent interest by spending US$11.5 million on the project, providing a feasibility study by October 26, 2015 and additional consideration in cash and shares of the Company. A 20,000-meter drilling program was started in July 2012 and is expected to be completed by the end of October. The 2012 drill holes are within an area of 101 historic diamond drill holes called the 543S sulphide deposit, a zone of chalcocite mineralization that was explored from 1973-1977 and briefly in the mid-nineties. The 543S deposit contains a historic resource estimate. For additional information, please refer to the Technical Report by Behre Dolbear & Company, Ltd. titled "Centennial and Kingston Native Copper, 543S, and Other Copper Sulfide Properties, Houghton and Keweenaw Counties, Michigan, USA'' dated September 29, 2011.

Highland Resources intersects 47.1 meters of 2.47% Cu, @the Keweenaw Copper Project, Michigan, USA, Internal high grade zones up to 9.8 meters of 6.88% Cu +15.2 g/t Ag - Oct 26, 2012
www.highlandresources.ca/i/pdf/nr/HI%20-%20PR%202012-10-26%2…

"Highland Resources Inc. (TSXV: HI) ("Highland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from 12 additional diamond drill holes at the 543S chalcocite deposit. Some of the longer and higher grade intersections from holes for which all assays have been received and checked include:

+ Hole CEN353: 47.1 meters of 2.47% Cu, including:
5.5 meters of 7.65% Cu, 34.6 g/t Ag, and
9.8 meters of 6.88% Cu and 15.2 g/t Ag

+ Hole CEN391: 14.8 meters of 3.10% Cu

+ Hole CEN393: 9.0 meters of 3.70% Cu, and
10.5 meters of 0.81% Cu

+ Hole CEN316: 27.0 meters of 1.40% Cu

+ Hole CEN303: 30.4 meters of 0.88% Cu


In addition to impressive zones of high grade copper in holes CEN353, CEN391, and CEN393, considerable lengths of 0.20 -- 0.75% Cu mineralization may be present as lower grade envelopes next to the higher grade zones, illustrated by intersections in CEN303 and CEN393. Mineralization containing less than 0.75% Cu was not included in the historic resource estimate of the 543S deposit, although these lower grade intersections have the potential to provide additional upside for the deposit at current copper prices.

Assay results are summarized in Table 1 below and drill hole locations are on Figure 1. The objective of the exploration program initiated in July is to confirm, in compliance with NI 43-101, the historical resource of the 543S deposit originally discovered in the early 1970s. Lens-like zones of mineralization, largely in brecciated tops of amygdaloidal Precambrian basalt lava flows, consist mostly of primary chalcocite accompanied by small amounts of native copper and native silver (see cross section 200E in Figure 2). Silver in the copper-bearing zones varies mostly from 1-15 g/tonne Ag. Traces of other sulfide minerals are also present. Mineralization comes to the bedrock surface and is covered by 3 to 30 meters of glacial deposits. The 543S deposit is in the western portion of a 20-mile long belt of chalcocite prospects that extends east from a belt of large native copper mines, centered near the town of Calumet, Michigan, that were mined for about 130 years before closing in 1968 due to low copper prices.

"The alteration and mineralization intersected by Highland continue to confirm the high grades reported in historic resource estimates of the 543S deposit." noted Dr. Ross R. Grunwald, Vice president - Exploration for Highland. "The internal continuity of individual high grade assays in CEN353 was notable. The presence of lower grade, but potentially significant mineralization not recorded in the historic data from 543S had been suspected, but is increasingly confirmed by the current results. Upon completion of the planned program to fill in the historic drill grid to a 30 meter or less drill spacing at 543S, we will move drills to several of the numerous additional chalcocite prospects in this area."

The 2012 drill holes are within an area of 101 historic diamond drill holes called the 543S sulphide deposit, a zone of chalcocite mineralization that was explored from 1973-1977 and briefly in the mid-nineties. The 543S deposit contains a historic resource estimate of 4.5 million short tons averaging 2.27% Cu at a 0.75% Cu cut-off grade as described in a Technical Report by Behre Dolbear & Company, Ltd. titled "Centennial and Kingston Native Copper, 543S, and Other Copper Sulfide Properties, Houghton and Keweenaw Counties, Michigan, USA'' dated September 29, 2011. The Company has not completed the work necessary to classify the historical estimate mentioned above as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources as defined in NI 43-101 and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. Highland's objective is to complete approximately 100 diamond drill holes to confirm the size and grade of the non-compliant 543S historic resource estimate. Resource modeling will begin in early 2013 if justified. The historical resource estimate is contained in six separate lenses averaging 5.0 meters (16.5 ft.) true thickness that dip about 40° to the north.


Table 1




Drilling, Sampling, Assaying, and QAQC

The 2012 drill holes are mostly on cross sections spaced at 30 meter intervals between the historic 60 meter grid lines at the 543S deposit. All holes reported on Table 1 except CEN 306 and CEN 307 (reported in Highland's news release dated Oct. 3, 2012) are inclined to the south along section lines shown on Figure 1. Inclinations are selected to approximate a true width of the mineralized lenses based on regional information on the dips of the lava flows. Holes reported to date as unmineralized contain less that 3 continuous meters averaging at least 0.20% Cu and are mostly confined to edges of the 543S deposit.

All technical information for the 543S exploration program is collected under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) program that has been reviewed by two independent qualified persons as defined in NI 43-101. Samples are taken under the direction of qualified geologists and stored in sealed bags. Samples are then placed in sealed containers and delivered via courier or common carrier to Accurassay Labs and ACTLabs, both certified analytical facilities in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada for analysis. Copper and silver contents are determined at both labs using a four acid digestion procedure.

Highland Copper Company reports high grade copper, locally elevated silver grades @the Keweenaw Copper Project, Michigan 13.5 m of 3.23% Cu +21.5 g/t Ag in hole CEN382 - Nov 27, 2012
www.highlandcopper.com/i/pdf/nr/2012-11-27_HI_News_Release%2…

"November 27, 2012 -- Longueuil, QC. Highland Copper Company Inc. (TSXV: HI) ("Highland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from 18 additional diamond drill holes at the historical 543S chalcocite deposit of the Keweenaw project in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, U.S.A. Some of the longer and higher grade intersections from holes for which all assays have been received and checked include:

- CEN382: 13.5 meters of 3.23% Cu, 21.5 g/t Ag including:
4.5 meters of 5.39% Cu, 1.3 g/t Ag, and
3.4 meters of 3.41% Cu, 69.5 g/t Ag

- CEN337: 23.87 meters of 2.31% Cu, 3.6 g/t Ag including:
4.08 meters of 5.27% Cu, 9.2 g/t Ag
Also: 10.16 meters of 2.86% Cu, 2.8 g/t Ag

- CEN339: 24.6 meters of 2.37% Cu, 5.4 g/t Ag

- CEN320: 23.0 meters of 0.72% Cu, 1.3 g/tm Ag


In addition to high grade copper zones in holes CEN382, CEN337, and CEN339 elevated silver grades were also intersected. Considerable lengths of 0.20 -- 0.75% Cu mineralization continue to occur as lower grade envelopes next to the higher grade zones and as separate zones as in CEN 320. Mineralization containing less than 0.75% Cu was not included in the historic resource estimate of the 543S deposit, although these lower grade intersections could provide additional upside for the deposit at current copper prices. Assay results are summarized in Table 1 and drill hole locations are on Figure 1. Complete assay results to date are available on Highland's website. Cross sections on lines 200E and 1200E (Figures 2 and 3) illustrate the continuity of mineralized zones at a 0.20% Cu cut-off. Table 1 and all figures are at the end of this news release.

Although assays have been reported for only 60 percent of the holes drilled, grade-thickness contours for drill intersections at a 0.20% Cu cutoff illustrate the continuity of the mineralization in horizontal plan (see Figure 4). The values on Figure 4 are projected vertically to the surface and for 40 degree north-dipping lenses of mineralization this results in a 25% foreshortening of the full north-south down-dip dimension of the mineralization. The higher values are surrounded by a large zone of lower values.

"The internal continuity of high grade assay intersections in individual drill holes continues to be notable," said Dr. Ross R. Grunwald, Vice president - Exploration for Highland. In addition, grade-thickness contours demonstrate considerable continuity between adjacent drill holes and may identify areas for further drilling. Upon completion of the planned program to fill in the historic drill grid to a 30 meter or less drill spacing at 543S, drills will be moved to several of the numerous additional chalcocite prospects in this area. Drilling is planned through the winter with two or three machines. "

The 2012 drill holes are within an area of 101 historic diamond drill holes called the 543S sulphide deposit, a zone of chalcocite mineralization that was explored from 1973-1977 and briefly in the mid-nineties. The 543S deposit contains a historic resource estimate of 4.5 million short tons averaging 2.27% Cu at a 0.75% Cu cut-off grade as described in a Technical Report by Behre Dolbear & Company, Ltd. titled "Centennial and Kingston Native Copper, 543S, and Other Copper Sulfide Properties, Houghton and Keweenaw Counties, Michigan, USA'' dated September 29, 2011. The Company has not completed the work necessary to classify the historical estimate mentioned above as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources as defined in NI 43-101 and the historical estimate should not be relied upon. The historical resource estimate is contained in six separate lenses averaging 5.0 meters (16.5 ft.) true thickness that dip about 40° to the north.

Highland's objective is to verify the non-compliant historic drill results with compliant assay data by reducing the historic drill hole spacing and twinning selected historic holes to establish a resource estimate compliant with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"). Resource modeling is expected to begin in early 2013.




Lens-like zones of mineralization, largely in brecciated tops of amygdaloidal Precambrian basalt lava flows, consist mostly of primary chalcocite accompanied by small amounts of native copper and native silver. Silver in the copper-bearing zones varies mostly from 1-15 g/tonne Ag. Traces of other sulfide minerals are also present.

Drilling, Sampling, Assaying and QAQC

The 2012 drill holes are mostly on cross sections spaced at 30 meter intervals between the historic 60 meter grid lines at the 543S deposit. All holes reported on Table 1 are inclined to the south along section lines shown on Figure 1. Hole inclinations are selected to approximate a true width intersection of the mineralized lenses based on regional information on the dips of the lava flows. Holes reported as unmineralized contain less than 3 continuous meters averaging at least 0.20% Cu and are mostly confined to edges of the 543S deposit.

All technical information for the 543S exploration program is collected under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) program that has been reviewed by two independent qualified persons as defined in NI 43-101. Samples are taken under the direction of qualified geologists and stored in sealed bags. Samples are then placed in sealed containers and delivered via courier or common carrier to Accurassay Labs and ActLabs, both certified analytical facilities in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada for analysis. Copper and silver contents are determined at both labs using a four acid digestion procedure.

- FIGURE 4. Grade-thickness contour map of the 543S deposit (grade in %Cu and thickness in meters) for intersections at a 0.20% Cu cut-off. The map shows two areas of elevated contour values with reasonably good internal continuity. The highest values terminate sharply along the southwest side of the deposit where the mineralized zones come to the bedrock surface under glacial sand deposits and were cut off by erosion. This map was generated using data both from diamond drill holes completed by Highland Copper Company in 2012 and historic holes drilled by the Homestake-INCO joint venture in the 1970s (see note below).

The Company cautions that it has not verified the quality and accuracy of the historic sampling and drilling results reported on the grade-thickness map for holes indicated by the black triangle symbols. These historic holes predate the introduction of NI 43-101 and readers are cautioned not to rely upon them. The map was generated using data from sources believed to be reliable. Although the historic sampling and drilling results used to construct this map are relevant, they have not yet been verified. -

Also auf 543S gibt es schon klare Unterschiede zwischen hoch- und niedriggradigeren Zonen. Eine der Fragen erstmal dürfte sein wie sich das dann gegenseitig aufwiegt, da hab ich aktuell noch nicht sooo die Vorstellung. Meine Vermuuutung, aus 2erlei Gründen, wäre das die Grade der Resourcenschätzung dann schon "Eckchen" niedriger ausfallen als die der alten Resourcenschätzung, die Tonnage/Gesamtresource aber mit der Zeit schon einiges größer werden könnte, als die alte Schätzung.

Das Spacing der Twin-Holes scheint mir überraschend niedrig. Die Durchschnittlich bisher gebohrten Gehalte hätte ich bis jetzt doch einiges niedriger eingeschätzt, muss man mal schauen wie dann die 1. Resourcenkalkulation, wahrscheinlich in Q1 -2, ausfällt:

Highland Copper Company reports additional high grade intersections, @the Keweenaw Copper Project, Michigan, Drilling nears completion @the 543S deposit; Dr. R. R. Grunwald: "The " "internal continuity" of high grade copper intersections in individual drill holes +the unusual length of the lower grade intersections continue to be impressive". With the drilling by Highland +previous exploration groups, the drill hole spacing on the 543S deposit is now 30 meters or less, thought sufficient to initiate a database audit leading to a resource estimate. Eight holes remain to be completed in the eastern portion of 543S +drills will then be moved to the G-2 prospect, 11 miles east. Work will continue through the winter with two machines" - Jan 9, 2013

... Highland's 2012 objective was to verify the 1970s drill results by reducing the historic drill hole spacing and twinning selected historic holes to establish a NI 43-101 resource estimate at the 543S deposit. To date 26,207 meters in 174 diamond drill holes (with a final hole in progress) have been completed (see Figure 1). The original grid at an approximate 200 ft collar spacing (60 meters) has been reduced to an overall collar spacing of approximately 30 meters. Collar spacing in the southwestern portion of the 543S deposit was locally reduced to 15 meters to gain a better understanding of the continuity of mineralization and local geological structure (see Figure 1). Cross section 600E on Figure 2 indicates that the stratiform geometry of the mineralization is similar to the geometry of the mineralized zones on the adjacent section 500E (section 500E may be viewed in the January 9, 2013 news release on the Company's website Assay results for 123 diamond drill holes have been reported to date with assays from 51 holes remaining to be reported for the 543S deposit.

The Company is currently completing the QAQC audit on the 543S database and resource estimation in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") is expected to begin as soon as the audit is completed.

Drilling at 543S is complete for now and both diamond drills are being moved to the G-2 prospect where 31 historic holes drilled in the 1970s indicate potential for chalcocite mineralization geologically similar to that found in the 543S deposit. ...

Highland Copper Company reports high grade copper intersections @G-2 prospect - Resource estimate in progress for 543S - Jun 4, 2013
www.highlandcopper.com/i/pdf/nr/June_2013_G2_NewsRelease_v5-…

"Highland Copper Company Inc. (TSXV: HI) ("Highland" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results for all 35 diamond drill holes completed at the G-2 chalcocite prospect at the Keweenaw Copper Project in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, U.S.A. Some of the higher grade intersections at a 0.75% Cu cut-off include the following:

MH106: 7.7 meters of 3.14% Cu and 2.9 g/t Ag
MH116: 7.4 meters of 3.08% Cu and 10.0 g/t Ag
MH109: 6.4 meters of 4.73% Cu and 12.7 g/t Ag
MH105: 4.6 meters of 4.61% Cu and 1.7 g/t Ag
MH107: 4.2 meters of 5.58% Cu and 3.7 g/t Ag


The G-2 prospect consists of at least three, near-vertical zones of chalcocite mineralization hosted by basalt lava flows of the Portage Lake lava series. The Company has completed 35 holes totaling 6,800 meters. See drill hole locations on Figure 1, results for composite assay intersections on Table 1 and cross section of the G-2 area on Figure 2. [ link to Figure 1, Table 1, Figure 2 ] In April, diamond drilling was suspended when melting snow made access to drill sites difficult. Additional drill targets have been identified and will be tested in due course.

The G-2 prospect is located about 18 km east of the 543S prospect where the Company has drilled 171 diamond drill holes totaling 26,972 meters since July 16, 2012. The Company has delivered the 543S database to independent consultants and a resource estimate in compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") is in progress.

"We are very encouraged with the G-2 results," noted Ross R. Grunwald, PhD, Vice president of Exploration for Highland. "Drilling has confirmed the presence of high grade copper mineralization over widths that justify further evaluation as an underground resource. At least three different zones have been intersected and these remain open laterally and at depth. Additional IP and soil geochemical anomalies in the area also remain to be tested."


G-2 Geology

Lens-like zones of mineralization, largely in brecciated tops of scoriaceous amygdaloidal Precambrian basalt lava flows, consist mostly of primary chalcocite accompanied by small amounts of native copper and native silver. Traces of other sulfide minerals are also present. Mineralization comes to the surface, but supergene oxidation is weak and is restricted to depths of 1-2 meters. The G-2 prospect is in the eastern portion of a 20-mile long belt of chalcocite prospects that extends east from an area of large native copper mines, centered near the town of Calumet, Michigan, that were mined for about 130 years before closing in 1968 due to low copper prices.

The 2013 drill holes at G-2 are within an area of 33 historic diamond drill holes that was explored from 1973-1977 by a joint venture between Homestake Mining Co. and International Nickel Co. Drilling conducted in the 1970s indicated potential for chalcocite mineralization geologically similar to that found in the 543S deposit. The G-2 prospect contains a non-compliant historic resource estimate of 985,000 short tons averaging 2.8% Cu at a 1.0% Cu cut-off grade as described in a Technical Report by Behre Dolbear & Company, Ltd. titled "Centennial and Kingston Native Copper, 543S, and Other Copper Sulfide Properties, Houghton and Keweenaw Counties, Michigan, USA'' dated September 29, 2011. The Company has not completed the work necessary to classify the historical estimate mentioned above as compliant mineral resources as defined in NI 43-101. Therefore, the Company is not treating the historical estimate as a mineral resource and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.


Drilling, sampling, assaying, +QA/QC

Most of the 35 holes are drilled on an azimuth of 174 degrees (S6oE) and are inclined at 45-60 degrees from the horizontal. All holes reported on Table 1 are inclined to the south along section lines shown on Figure 1. The cut-off for reporting results is 3 meters averaging at least 0.75% Cu. Down-hole surveys are made for all holes. Winter drill progress was made difficult by an aggregate snow fall exceeding 300 inches.

All technical information for the exploration program is collected under a formal quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program that has been reviewed by two independent qualified persons as defined in NI 43-101. Samples are taken under the direction of qualified geologists and stored in sealed bags. Sampling of visually-identified high grade copper intersections is on approximate 0.5 meter intervals adjusted for the geology. Samples are then placed in sealed containers and delivered via courier or common carrier to Accurassay Labs and ActLabs, both certified analytical facilities in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada for analysis. Copper and silver contents are determined at both labs using a four acid digestion procedure.

The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Ross R. Grunwald, PhD., Vice president - Exploration for the Company. Dr. Grunwald is a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101.


Amendments to the Keweenaw Venture Agreement

The Company also reports that it has recently entered into an amended and restated Mining Venture Agreement with BRP LLC with respect to the Keweenaw Copper Project. The main purpose of the amendment was to remove from the Venture Agreement the southwest portion of the Project where previous deep underground mines are located. This amendment allows the Company to continue its current strategy and focus on exploring the Central and Eastern part of the project where the 543S, G-2 and other chalcocite target areas are located. The Keweenaw Copper Project now covers a total area of 9,186 acres. The amendment also clarifies the process and terms for the acquisition of new properties within the joint venture area of interest.

Under the Mining Venture Agreement, Highland is entitled to acquire a 65% interest in the Keweenaw Copper Project located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for consideration of US $750,000 in cash (US $500,000 paid to date), 200,000 (post consolidation) common shares of the Company (133,333 shares issued to date), US $11,500,000 in exploration and development expenditure on the project (approximately US $9.5 million spent as at March 31, 2013) and completion of a feasibility study by October 26, 2015. For properties that BRP has contributed to the joint venture, it will be entitled to a sliding scale net smelter return royalty (NSR) based on the price per pound of copper with a minimum of 2% up to a maximum of 5%. For other properties acquired within a certain area of interest, BRP will be entitled to a 1% NSR.

Production costs are estimated at 37.50$/t of ore: 12.00$/t for processing, 2.50$/t for general and administrative costs, 0.50$/t for tailings and 22.50$/t for ore transportation to White Pine Complex
A 5% royalty was used (4.99$/t ore)
No mining dilution and mining loss were considered for the Mineral Resources
Rock bulk densities are based on rock types, %Cu and proximity to specific gravity measurements
Assay capping was applied to some mineralized domains
Classification of Mineral Resources conforms to CIM definitions
The qualified person for the estimate is Mr. Réjean Sirois, eng., Vice President Geology and Resources of G Mining. The estimate has an effective date of July 5, 2014
Mineral resources, which are not mineral reserves, do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.
The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as indicated or measured mineral resources.

The mineral resource estimate was prepared by G Mining Services Inc. ("G Mining"), a Canadian mining consulting firm. After a detailed review of different options, Highland and G Mining have opted to report the mineral resources for potential underground development of the 543S deposit. This initial mineral resource estimate for the 543S copper deposit is based on 262 diamond drill holes totaling 45,608 m, of which 220 are NQ size and 42 HQ size, on a drill grid spaced 30.5 by 15 m.

Mineral Resource Estimate Methodology

G Mining undertook the Mineral Resource estimate based on data provided by Highland. The estimate was conducted in a block model limited by eighteen mineralized domains interpreted and modelled as 3D wireframes. Capped raw assays were composited into regular 2.5-meter run lengths within each domain. Isotropic cubic blocks of 2.5 meters were used in the block model. Bulk densities were first estimated in each block based on regressions calculated from the correlation of 1,100 specific gravity measurements with their copper content, for three major rock types (flow-tops, dyke and basalt/host rock). Secondly, blocks within a 50 meter radius from specific gravity measurements, within the same rock type, were interpolated using those samples and were given a higher priority. Resulting estimated specific gravity of blocks inside domains varies from 2.52 g/cm3 to 3.04 g/cm3. Overburden density was set to a uniform 2.35 g/cm3. Copper and silver grades were estimated using the Inverse Distance Cube (ID3) interpolation method in three successive passes, which led to Indicated and Inferred Resources, limited by mineralized domains. The underground scenario resources were constrained by blocks with a minimum threshold value of 1.9% Cu equivalent, where isolated clusters of blocks were removed and an upper hard boundary was set at 15 m below the bedrock surface. Mineral Resources were classified according to the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.


Metallurgical Work

A.C.A. Howe International first completed historical preliminary metallurgical studies in 1991 at the Institute of Materials Processing of Michigan Technological University on three samples of chalcocite from the 543S deposit. Concentrate grades from conventional flotation tests demonstrated over 40% Cu and recoveries over 90% were achievable at grinds between 200 and 270 mesh when combined with cleaning and re-cleaning of the rougher concentrates. A ball mill grindability work index of a composite of 19.36 KWh/t was also reported.

In February 2014 seven flotation tests were conducted on composite samples of drill core from the 543S deposit at SGS Laboratories in Lakefield, Ontario under the supervision of Ahmed Bouajila, Vice President, Metallurgy and Ore Processing for G Mining. The composite grade was 2.61% Cu and 3.9 g/t Ag. Copper recoveries reported for this work neglect the copper distribution contained in the cleaner tailings. In a continuous circuit the cleaner tailings would be re-circulated back to the rougher and cleaner flotation stages, respectively and a substantial part of it would be recovered in the final concentrate. The effect of this recirculation cannot be determined without running locked cycle tests or continuous pilot plant trials. It is concluded that reasonable expectation from an equivalent optimized and closed circuit would be:

Recoveries: 90% Cu, 80% Ag;
Concentrate grades: 44%Cu, 59g/t Ag ; and
Mass Pull: 5.5%.

Those numbers are used for the base case reported in this news release.


Geology of the 543S Deposit.

The 543S copper deposit is located within a zone of chalcocite-dominated copper mineralization that is unique to the Keweenaw Peninsula. The known chalcocite deposits in the Keweenaw region occur in a 30 kilometer long northeast-southwest trending belt located between the native copper-bearing lodes and the underlying Keweenaw Fault and hosted by the Portage Lake Lava series. Chalcocite mineralization primarily occurs as open space fillings in amygdaloidal and fragmental basalt flow tops. Historically, this type of mineralization has not been a major exploration target. The 543S deposit is the largest chalcocite occurrence found to date.

The basalt flows in the area of the 543S deposit are covered by up to 50 meters of glacial till and do not outcrop in the vicinity of the deposit. The flows have an average thickness of approximately 33 meters and are cut by two fine grained sill-like dacitic to andesitic subvolcanic intrusives (see Fig. 2). At the 543S copper deposit, more than 99% of the copper occurs in the mineral chalcocite and <1% is present as bornite, chalcopyrite, or as native copper. Traces of native silver are also present. Approximately 80 to 90% of chalcocite mineralization is concentrated in flow top breccias and amygdaloids where grades are the highest.


Future Plans

The 543S deposit is one of two lava flow top-hosted chalcocite deposits that have been subject to recent drilling programs by Highland, the other is the G-2 deposit located about 20 kilometers northeast of 543S. Highland plans to complete a resource estimate for G-2 in 2014. Although the possibility of an independent milling complex at 543S treating mineralization from both 543S and G-2 will be considered, Highland plans to evaluate alternatives that would treat mineralization from 543S and other undeveloped copper deposits in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan recently acquired by Highland, in a single center of metallurgical operations. Planned studies will evaluate an alternative that would involve transportation to and processing of mineralization from these deposits in a central mine and metallurgical complex, the location of which remains to be determined.

The agreement allows Highland to earn a 65 percent interest by spending US$11.5 million on the project (which amount has been spent) and providing a feasibility study by October 26, 2015. The Keweenaw Project is approximately 180 km northeast of the White Pine North Project and 250 km of the Copperwood Project by road access.


Cautionary Statement

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The terms "inferred" and "indicated" resources contains in this press release are recognized and required by NI 43-101 under Canadian regulations, but not recognized by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The SEC requires mining companies in their filings with the SEC to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. "Inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an "inferred resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or part of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable and that all or any part of mineral deposits in the "measured" or "indicated" resource categories will ever be converted into reserves.

This press release contains 'forward-looking information' within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward looking information in this news release includes information with respect to: the mineral resource estimate; the Company's plans to complete a mineral resource estimate at the G2 deposit; the timing and results of future studies; the geological and economic potential of the Keweenaw Project, including the possibility of developing an underground operation there; the potential to process mineralization with other deposits in a central mine; the completion of a feasibility study to earn 65% of the Keweenaw Project, and other statements and information regarding anticipated results regarding the Company's operations and exploration. Actual results may be materially different from those currently anticipated. Many factors, known and unknown, could cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to: the volatility of copper price; the uncertainty of exploration results and mineral resource estimates, capital expenditure requirements and other costs; the uncertainties related to the Company's ability to acquire a 65% interest in the Keweenaw Project; currency fluctuations; the availability of financing for additional capital requirements, cost of exploration and development programs; mining risks; risks associated with governmental and environmental regulation and obtaining all the necessary permits for the development of the Project; and risks associated with global economic growth.

You'"ll Be Surprised Where This Copper Mine Just Opened"
http://piercepoints.com/?p=1392

"It didn't get a lot of fanfare--but it might be one of the most important developments in the North American mining sector for decades.

That's the opening of one of the latest mines in America: the Eagle copper-nickel project, operated by Lundin Mining.

Platts confirmed with company officials late last week that Eagle is now shipping mineral concentrates. With output expected to ramp up to peak capacity through 2015--at which point it will be putting out 23,000 tonnes of nickel (51 million pounds) and 20,000 tonnes of copper (44 million pounds) per year.

That's not huge by any means. Nor is Eagle's projected eight-year mine life. Rather, the thing that makes this development critical for the mining sector is its location.

Michigan.

The successful commissioning makes this one of the first mining projects to be brought on-stream in Michigan for a long while. Despite the fact that numerous ore bodies with very good size and grade are known here, there's been little in the way of development, largely due to issues around permitting--both perceived and real.

But Lundin has proved that a mine can be built here. Perhaps opening the door to further development in the area.

That could also extend to states bordering Michigan. With places like Minnesota also seeing a number of projects advancing towards permitting and production of late.

As I've discussed before, this may signal a significant opportunity in the making. The geology of this area carries proven potential for a host of metals--including copper, nickel, iron and even platinum group elements.

And the region has seen little exploration during the most recent mining bull market. Meaning that new ore bodies likely abound here.

That could be a recipe for major discoveries if the area continues to prove its friendliness to mining. Watch for permitting decisions on other projects in the region, as well as exploration projects being started here.

Here's to a star being born,
