Feedback
hab das Unternehmen vorgestern woanders vorgestellt &mach das hier auch nochmal -die annähernd 1:1 Version ...
Ich fand das Zitat auf der Website so knackig –hab das dann gleich mal übernommen, wobei „Got Grade…“ vielleicht besser gepasst hätte. Ich hoffe mal, dass die Beschreibungen so in etwa hinhauen &man sich dabei was vorstellen kann, ansonsten mal unbedingt die Karten &dergleichen dazu angucken-dann macht das nämlich sogar Sinn.
Merc International Minerals ist ein kanadisches Explorationsunternehmen mit 6 Gold- &Silberprojekten. 5 davon liegen in Quebeq &Ontario und eins, Damoti Lake, im Nordwesten Kanadas. Die Unternehmensstrategie ist wohl zu Teilen darauf ausgerichtet Projekte mit hist. Daten &Schätzungen zu übernehmen, die das Potenzial haben durch heutige Explorationstechniken einen deutlichen Mehrwert zu bringen. Und da käme für mich v.a. erstmal das Damoti Lake Projekt ins Spiel, worauf ich mich hier mal konzentriere.
Erstmal kurz was zur Bewertung: bei 21,5/28,7 Aktien I &O und einem Kurs von 0,36CAD macht das bei eine akt. Bewertung von 8,73CAD, die O&W haben eine Laufzeit von demnächst –Apr ´12, mit einem Strike von 0,25 -1CAD(eine genauere Aufschlüsselung hab ich dazu noch nicht gefunden). Zum 30. April haben sie ein Working Capital von 3,26Mio CAD.

Damoti Lake
Das Projekt, und andere, wurde letztes Jahr im September von Anaconda Mining übernommen &es gibt einige historische Daten dazu. Mal kurz was zu den Konditionen:
Merc acquired 100% of Anaconda’s interest in the Damoti Lake Project subject to an existing 2% NSR by paying $250,000 to Anaconda and issuing Anaconda 1,250,000 of Merc’s common shares. The Damoti Lake Project is located 200 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and extends over 2,849 hectares of land in six mining leases. Anaconda owned a 100% interest in mining lease DAM 3 that holds the Horseshoe Zone deposit and an 80% interest in the balance of the Damoti Lake mining leases. Merc also acquired all of the issued shares of Golden Sierra Resources Inc. (“Golden Sierra”), a private mineral exploration company. Golden Sierra has three wholly-owned Quebec gold projects, an extensive geological/geochemical/geophysical database in Ecuador, South America, and approximately $250,000 in cash. Merc paid $250,000 in cash and issued 750,000 of Merc’s common shares to acquire all the issued shares of Golden Sierra.
Lage:
+ anfänglich hatte man sich 2,849Hektar gekauft, was durch einen Zukauf am 09.04. 4,391Hektar geworden sind –was etwa 43km2 sind
+ 1996 gab es wohl Probleme, woraufhin man einen kleinen Abbau eingestellt hat, in dem Zusammenhang würde mich mal interessieren, wie: „Ramp decline driven in 1996. Approximately 430 metres of development completed. Bulk sample extracted and stockpiled on surface (3,820 tonnes averaging 15.43 grams/tonne).“ zu übersetzen ist(??)
+ wie schon erwähnt, es gibt 3 hist. Schätzungen, von Denen nur die kleinste nach NI 43-101 ist, wobei man sich meist auf eine von gut 200k Oz zu 15g/t bezieht –wäre die mittelgroße
Vollständig sehen die so aus:

Projektgegebenheiten
+ alle Schätzungen beruhen auf Ergebnissen der Horseshoe Zone, basierend auf max. 200m Richtung Streichlänge &150m in die Tiefe –hochgradig &relativ oberflächennah also
+ die, kleinste, 2005er Schätzung wurde mit der Absicht erstellt eine Highgrade Resource auszuweisen, die relativ zügig abbaubar wäre &basiert auf allen Bohrlöchern von vor 1996(135)
+ die von 2004 basiert auf 102 Bohrlöchern von vor 1998
+ die größeren Schätzungen werden als relevant, aber halt nicht als nachgewiesen gesehen
Im Folgendem kann man mal ganz gut sehen, woraus sich die IMO sehr beträchtliche Phantasie speist
&
Alleine auf welches Gebiet sich „nur“ die Schätzung von ´04 bezieht(s. Factsheet), spricht finde ich für sich: da wäre erst ein Teil der Horsehoe Zone inbegriffen(deutliches Ausweitungspotenzial Richtung Streichlänge &Tiefe), &allein die 2 anliegenden Zonen bieten einige weitere Ziele, wovon eine dieses Jahr angebohrt wird. Die richtig große Phantasie könnte IMO aber der Punkt bringen, dass durch Mapping, wie auf den oberen 2Karten zu sehen, teils mit Gold mineralisierte „Banded Iron Formations“(BIF), in parallel laufenden Strukturen, über eine Länge von 10km ausgemacht wurden. Inclusive, oberflächennah &hochgradig, ausgemachter Goldmineralisierungen bezieht sich das derzeit auf eine Länge von 5km. Von den 10km würde allerdings ein guter Teil wohl unter dem anliegendem See verlaufen &ob sie den ganz nördlichen Ausläuferauch im Blick haben, kann ich nicht so genau sagen. Würde wenn aber sicher erst sehr viel später mal ein Thema werden.
Ziele/(Bohr)Programm ´09
Als eigenes, übergeordnetes, Ziel haben sie ausgegeben: „Merc’s goal is to outline 6 to 10 million tonnes grading 9 to 15 g/t gold along strike, in parallel structures and at depth, and advance the Damoti Lake Gold Project towards a 3 million ounce gold resource, making it comparable to other northern Canadian iron formation hosted gold mines/deposits.“
Das wäre eine Spanne von um die 1,7 -4,6 Mio Unzen, wobei 3Mio etwa die Mitte wäre –mit theoretisch z.B. 8Mt @12g/t.
+ zusammentragen, prüfen &auswerten der bisher schon bekannten Daten, daraus folgend ein geologisches Model zu Damoti Lake erstellen &neue Bohrziele definieren
+ soweit ich das verstehe wird die zusammenhängende Horsehoe, die nördlich liegende Pyrite- &Kitchen-Zone Richtung Streichlänge mit Infill Drillings gebohrt, s. Graphik oben, sowie die südwestlich, separat, liegende Red Mountain- &Pink Antler-Zone generell auf Mineralisierungen hin getestet(wovon einige auch schon Oberflächenmineralisierungen, oder sogar durch Bohrungen tiefer gelegene Mineralsisierungen, bis um die 150m rum, aufweisen), sowie nach weiteren vielversprechenden Gebieten Ausschau gehalten.
+ nachdem am Anfang April das ganze Equipment vor Ort gebracht wurde, wurde gestern der Start des diesjährigen Bohrprogramms bekanntgegeben, womit auf den erwähnten Gebieten 6.000m mit 20 -30Löchern gebohrt werden soll
+ wobei einige Abschnitte von 04/05 wiederholt werden, &ähnliche Parameter wie 2004 verwendet werden sollen
+ erste Ergebnisse werden Ende August erwartet &danach dann im Monatstakt bis zum November
+ daraus soll bis Ende des Jahres eine 1ste standardgemässe Resourcenschätzung abgeleitet werden, basierend auf 135 alten, sowie den neuen Bohrlöchern. Darin wären noch 63 enthalten, die ´97 und ´04 noch nicht dazugehörten. Sie selber gehen davon aus, dass das die Schätzung von 2004, also 223k Oz, „signifikant“ ausweiten sollte
+ in einem folgendem Bohrprogramm 2010 würde es dann darum gehen mit weiteren Bohrzielen die Resource auszubauen &im Speziellen die Gebiete westl. der Horsehoe Zone("fold structures") zu testen
Der Vollständigkeit halber &da eines erwähnenswert ist, stell ich mal kurz die weiteren Projektbeschreibungen rein. Konkrete Ansätze sind erstmal nur auf Lingman Lake zu sehen, das eine Resource, allerdings nicht nach NI 43-101, mit hohen Gehalten hat, gute 530k Oz zu um die 10g/t –wovon Mercs aber nur 40% gehören(215k Oz) –dafür „open in all directions“. Schade, dass Denen davon nicht 100% gehören, dann hätte man hier vielleicht einen 2ten möglichen Companymaker. Die weiteren Projekte:
Lingman Lake Gold Property
+ Located 325 km north of Red Lake, Ontario.
+ Occupies 7 mining claims covering 384 hectares.
+ Merc can acquire a 100% interest from Anaconda Mining Inc. for $25,000 cash, incurring exploration expenditures aggregating $300,000, and issuing Anaconda 400,000 common shares over the 45-month term of the agreement.
+ North and South mineralized zones contain a proven-indicated non-43-101 compliant resource of 444,000 tons grading 0.41 oz/ton Au (171,118 oz) above 400 feet, and 1,300,000 tons grading 0.3 oz/ton Au (366,600 oz).
+ 40% of the resource exists on Merc’s property and is open in all directions.
+ In December 2008, Merc and the optionor of the Borthwick Lake Project, acknowledging that there has been an event of force majeure related to an environmental issue on neighbouring claims and First Nations concerns over traditional territories, agreed that Merc's obligations under the Borthwick Lake Project option agreement be in held in abeyance until the event of force majeure is resolved.
Borthwick Gold-Silver Property
+ Located 190 km north of Red Lake, Ontario on the south side of South Trout Lake, next to the past producing Berens River Gold Mine .
+ Occupies 17 mining claims covering 3,136 hectares.
+ Merc can earn a 100% interest from Anaconda Mining Inc. for $95,000 cash, incurring exploration expenditures of $1.7 million, and issuing Anaconda 1,600,000 common shares over the four year term of the option agreement.
+ In December 2008, Merc and the optionor of the Borthwick Lake Project, acknowledging that there has been an event of force majeure related to a local First Nation community restricting access to the Borthwick Lake Project, agreed that Merc's obligations under the Borthwick Lake Project option agreement be in held in abeyance until the event of force majeure is resolved. As well, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, one significant claim was re-staked by another party. The Borthwick Lake Project has been held in force majeure for the past four months and property access has been restricted for more than a year. It is highly unlikely that Merc will proceed with exploration activities on the property.
+ The property is underlain by Archean metavolcanic rocks, volcanogenic metasedimentary rocks and felsic and mafic intrusives of the Sachigo Subprovince of the Superior Province.
Québec Properties
Launay Gold Property
+ Consists of three claim units in Launay Township Quebec.
+ Regional geology is dominated by two felsic intrusions, separated by mafic volcanic rocks.
+ Property geology: series of quartz-carbonate veins hosted by a narrow band of felsic pyroclastics and felsic dikes within mafic volcanic rocks. The veins host disseminated pyrite and pyrrohite and make up 1% to 2% of a zone of structural deformation.
+ Historic surface samples returned gold values up to 1.7 grams per tonne over 0.6 metres.
+ Two holes drilled in 1991, intersected 0.4% copper and 3.8 grams per tonne gold over 1.2 metres and 1.7 grams per tonne gold over 0.6 metres.
Disson Gold/Silver Property
+ The Property consists of three claim units located in Disson Township.
+ The main showing is hosted in a mineralized structure within a sequence of graphitic and pyroclastic volcanic rocks that lie between two circular granitic intrusions.
+ Historic samples from the showing returned silver results of 5.14 ppm over 1.4 metres, 5.4 ppm over 1.4 metres and 8.91 ppm over 1.0 metre. Gold values are reported up to 1030 ppb over 1.1 metres.
+ Historic drilling (three holes) report 1 gram per tonne gold and 8.9 grams per tonne silver over 1.5 metres 1 gram per tonne gold and 3.1 grams per tonne silver over 2.2 metres, and 0.7 gram per tonne gold over 1.3 metres.
La Reine Gold Property
+ Composed of three claim units in La Reine Township.
+ Local geology consists of an intercalated.
+ The claims cover a strong electromagnetic conductor extending for several hundred meters in a northerly direction that intersects a second north trending conductor.
+ The conductors lie just north-west of the Santa Anna Gold Deposit and just south of the Duvan Copper, Gold Mine.
Positiv
+ Kanada
+ deutliche –eventl. sehr große Resourcenphantasie, neben den schon aktuellen dürfte es eine Menge potentieller Ziele geben
+ hohe Gehalte &recht oberflächennah nicht unwahrscheinlich; maximale Tiefe bisher 200m, neben dem hauptsächlich horizontalem ausweiten der Resource, dürften auch in die Tiefe(wo schon Mineralisierungen festgestellt wurden) ganz gute Chancen auf Ausweitung bestehen
+ Gold dürfte wohl einer der wenigen Rohstoffe sein, mit dem man auch jetzt noch gut im Geschäft sein kann
+ die übernommene Datenbank von Sierra Minerals könnte sich denke ich später nochmal positiv auswirken, zum jetztigen Zeitpunkt ist aber nichts in der Richtung abzusehen
+ wenig Aktien ausstehend
+ scheinen mir auch sehr sorgsam mit Geld, Verwässerung etc. umzugehen, ist aber nur mein erster Eindruck
Negativ
+ sehr illiquide (wenn sich das wie erhofft entwickelt, sollte sich das IMO ändern)
+ so gut wie keine nachgewiesenen Resourcen nach gängigen Standards
+ der Übernahmepreis für Damoti Lake scheint mir sehr niedrig
Es gibt sicher noch einige mehr und auch Punkte, die man positiv, wie negativ, je nach Perspektive, sehen könnte(z.B. m.E. nach annähernd unbekannt).
Fazit
Also ich finde das „spekulativ sehr interessant“, mit etwas Glück könnte hier denke ich mal eine super Resource(v.a. was Größe, Gehalte &Tiefe angeht) draus werden. Ich würde hoffen, dass sie m.d. Zeit mindestens auf >1Mio Oz, zu vielleicht >/= um die 7g/t kommen –mögliches weiteres Potenzial könnte aber IMO noch sehr, sehr deutlich sein.
2, 3 Sachen wären mir auch noch nicht richtig klar &wäre toll, wenn dazu vielleicht jemand was sagen könnte
+ die Banded Iron Formations als Träger der Goldmineralisierungen –hat das irgendwelche speziellen Vor- oder Nachteile?
In der Übersicht wird noch angeführt, dass es im Norden Kanadas wohl noch einige andere populäre „Iron Formation Hosted Gold Deposits“, mit meist deutlich überdurchschnittlichen Gehalten, gibt.
+ die 3 verschiedenen Schätzungen finde ich etwas verwirrend –bei der(kleinsten) von 2005 wird erwähnt, dass die alle Bohrungen vor 2006 beeinhaltet –die anderen Schätzungen wiederum aber davor stattgefunden haben, aber trotzdem deutlich größer ausfallen. Den Punkt bekomme ich ehrlich gesagt nicht richtig auf die Reihe –zumal sie sich ja als Ausgangsbasis auch meist auf die 223k Oz beziehen.
Vor allem deswegen ist es denke ich schwer abzuschätzen, was im 1sten Schritt bei rauskommen könnte. Wenn man davon ausgeht, dass die Ergebnisse von 2005 alles einbeziehen &das trotzdem, berechtigt, so klein ausfällt, dann dürfte wahrs. nicht viel bei rumkommen. Da scheint mir aber nicht so richtig Sinn zu machen. Sollte diese größte Schätzung von ´97 nicht sehr aus der Luft gegriffen sein, dann dann könnten IMO auch 500.000 -1Mio Oz, unter Umständen noch ein klein bisschen aufwärts, bis zum gegen Jahresende hin drin sein. Da sie sich ja scheinbar auf die 223k Oz beziehen würde ich erstmal vielleicht an die 500.000Oz denken –reine Spekulation. Könnte positiv wie negativ deutlich abweichen.
Dann dürfte man eine ganz gute Ausgangslage haben &etwa wissen, woran man ist –aber wenn die gut ausfällt, könnte Merc denke ich auch schon eine ganze Ecke höher stehen. Ist in meinen Augen eine richtig interessante Kombination, bei der sich über das nächste halbe Jahr die fundamentalen Rahmenbedingungen stark verändern könnten –mir scheinen die Chancen darauf nicht schlecht zu stehen. Wem das zu unsicher ist, der sollte mindestens die erste Schätzung abwarten.

+ Located 190 km north of Red Lake, Ontario on the south side of South Trout Lake, next to the past producing Berens River Gold Mine .
+ Occupies 17 mining claims covering 3,136 hectares.
+ Merc can earn a 100% interest from Anaconda Mining Inc. for $95,000 cash, incurring exploration expenditures of $1.7 million, and issuing Anaconda 1,600,000 common shares over the four year term of the option agreement.
+ In December 2008, Merc and the optionor of the Borthwick Lake Project, acknowledging that there has been an event of force majeure related to a local First Nation community restricting access to the Borthwick Lake Project, agreed that Merc's obligations under the Borthwick Lake Project option agreement be in held in abeyance until the event of force majeure is resolved. As well, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, one significant claim was re-staked by another party. The Borthwick Lake Project has been held in force majeure for the past four months and property access has been restricted for more than a year. It is highly unlikely that Merc will proceed with exploration activities on the property.
+ The property is underlain by Archean metavolcanic rocks, volcanogenic metasedimentary rocks and felsic and mafic intrusives of the Sachigo Subprovince of the Superior Province.
Québec Properties
Launay Gold Property
+ Consists of three claim units in Launay Township Quebec.
+ Regional geology is dominated by two felsic intrusions, separated by mafic volcanic rocks.
+ Property geology: series of quartz-carbonate veins hosted by a narrow band of felsic pyroclastics and felsic dikes within mafic volcanic rocks. The veins host disseminated pyrite and pyrrohite and make up 1% to 2% of a zone of structural deformation.
+ Historic surface samples returned gold values up to 1.7 grams per tonne over 0.6 metres.
+ Two holes drilled in 1991, intersected 0.4% copper and 3.8 grams per tonne gold over 1.2 metres and 1.7 grams per tonne gold over 0.6 metres.
Disson Gold/Silver Property
+ The Property consists of three claim units located in Disson Township.
+ The main showing is hosted in a mineralized structure within a sequence of graphitic and pyroclastic volcanic rocks that lie between two circular granitic intrusions.
+ Historic samples from the showing returned silver results of 5.14 ppm over 1.4 metres, 5.4 ppm over 1.4 metres and 8.91 ppm over 1.0 metre. Gold values are reported up to 1030 ppb over 1.1 metres.
+ Historic drilling (three holes) report 1 gram per tonne gold and 8.9 grams per tonne silver over 1.5 metres 1 gram per tonne gold and 3.1 grams per tonne silver over 2.2 metres, and 0.7 gram per tonne gold over 1.3 metres.
La Reine Gold Property
+ Composed of three claim units in La Reine Township.
+ Local geology consists of an intercalated.
+ The claims cover a strong electromagnetic conductor extending for several hundred meters in a northerly direction that intersects a second north trending conductor.
+ The conductors lie just north-west of the Santa Anna Gold Deposit and just south of the Duvan Copper, Gold Mine.
Positiv
+ Kanada
+ deutliche –eventl. sehr große Resourcenphantasie, neben den schon aktuellen dürfte es eine Menge potentieller Ziele geben
+ hohe Gehalte &recht oberflächennah nicht unwahrscheinlich; maximale Tiefe bisher 200m, neben dem hauptsächlich horizontalem ausweiten der Resource, dürften auch in die Tiefe(wo schon Mineralisierungen festgestellt wurden) ganz gute Chancen auf Ausweitung bestehen
+ Gold dürfte wohl einer der wenigen Rohstoffe sein, mit dem man auch jetzt noch gut im Geschäft sein kann
+ die übernommene Datenbank von Sierra Minerals könnte sich denke ich später nochmal positiv auswirken, zum jetztigen Zeitpunkt ist aber nichts in der Richtung abzusehen
+ wenig Aktien ausstehend
+ scheinen mir auch sehr sorgsam mit Geld, Verwässerung etc. umzugehen, ist aber nur mein erster Eindruck
Negativ
+ sehr illiquide (wenn sich das wie erhofft entwickelt, sollte sich das IMO ändern)
+ so gut wie keine nachgewiesenen Resourcen nach gängigen Standards
+ der Übernahmepreis für Damoti Lake scheint mir sehr niedrig
Es gibt sicher noch einige mehr und auch Punkte, die man positiv, wie negativ, je nach Perspektive, sehen könnte(z.B. m.E. nach annähernd unbekannt).
Fazit
Also ich finde das „spekulativ sehr interessant“, mit etwas Glück könnte hier denke ich mal eine super Resource(v.a. was Größe, Gehalte &Tiefe angeht) draus werden. Ich würde hoffen, dass sie m.d. Zeit mindestens auf >1Mio Oz, zu vielleicht >/= um die 7g/t kommen –mögliches weiteres Potenzial könnte aber IMO noch sehr, sehr deutlich sein.
2, 3 Sachen wären mir auch noch nicht richtig klar &wäre toll, wenn dazu vielleicht jemand was sagen könnte
+ die Banded Iron Formations als Träger der Goldmineralisierungen –hat das irgendwelche speziellen Vor- oder Nachteile?
In der Übersicht wird noch angeführt, dass es im Norden Kanadas wohl noch einige andere populäre „Iron Formation Hosted Gold Deposits“, mit meist deutlich überdurchschnittlichen Gehalten, gibt.
+ die 3 verschiedenen Schätzungen finde ich etwas verwirrend –bei der(kleinsten) von 2005 wird erwähnt, dass die alle Bohrungen vor 2006 beeinhaltet –die anderen Schätzungen wiederum aber davor stattgefunden haben, aber trotzdem deutlich größer ausfallen. Den Punkt bekomme ich ehrlich gesagt nicht richtig auf die Reihe –zumal sie sich ja als Ausgangsbasis auch meist auf die 223k Oz beziehen.
Vor allem deswegen ist es denke ich schwer abzuschätzen, was im 1sten Schritt bei rauskommen könnte. Wenn man davon ausgeht, dass die Ergebnisse von 2005 alles einbeziehen &das trotzdem, berechtigt, so klein ausfällt, dann dürfte wahrs. nicht viel bei rumkommen. Da scheint mir aber nicht so richtig Sinn zu machen. Sollte diese größte Schätzung von ´97 nicht sehr aus der Luft gegriffen sein, dann dann könnten IMO auch 500.000 -1Mio Oz, unter Umständen noch ein klein bisschen aufwärts, bis zum gegen Jahresende hin drin sein. Da sie sich ja scheinbar auf die 223k Oz beziehen würde ich erstmal vielleicht an die 500.000Oz denken –reine Spekulation. Könnte positiv wie negativ deutlich abweichen.
Dann dürfte man eine ganz gute Ausgangslage haben &etwa wissen, woran man ist –aber wenn die gut ausfällt, könnte Merc denke ich auch schon eine ganze Ecke höher stehen. Ist in meinen Augen eine richtig interessante Kombination, bei der sich über das nächste halbe Jahr die fundamentalen Rahmenbedingungen stark verändern könnten –mir scheinen die Chancen darauf nicht schlecht zu stehen. Wem das zu unsicher ist, der sollte mindestens die erste Schätzung abwarten.

""Dear ...,
Thank you for your interest in our company. Merc is currently drilling our Damoti Lake Gold project, about 200 km north of the city of Yellowknife, NT. Mineralization is hosted within iron formation. Iron formation gold deposits are some of the richest gold deposits in the world. I've included a general description that was published by the Northern Miner in 1998. This brief article effectively describes this type of deposit and gives several North American examples. Since 1998 a few other deposits of this type have been discovered in northern Canada. I would also encourage you to review the Meadowbank deposit (Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited) and the Meliadine deposit (Comaplex Minerals Corp).
I've included the historic resource table to address your questions.

The 1997 resource was a global resource that included the Horseshoe Zone as well as several of the other satellite zones. It is much broader in nature than the other two.
The 2004 resource only included the Horseshoe, Pyrite and Kitchen Zones. So this resource covers a much smaller area than the 1997 calculation.
The 2005 resource only included a very restricted portion of the Horseshoe Zone, or those high-grade areas that could be best exploited by the shallow ramp. That is why the average grade is reported as 26.17 grams/tonne gold.
The resource numbers appear to decrease over the years because the area included in the resources shrank from a more extensive global resource in 1997 to a very restricted and shallow portion of the Horseshoe Zone in 2005.
Although I cannot speak on behalf of the previous owners, it would appear that the historic price of gold (being much lower than today), and financial constraints goverened their decisions and resource objectives. On the other hand, Merc is looking at Damoti and surrounding areas with a much broader mandate. Our goal is to build a global resource (upwards of 3 million ounces) making it comparable to several other northern Canadian iron formation hosted gold deposits (ex. Meadowbank, Lupin, Musselwhite, Meliadine). We believe that Damoti represents the right property, with the right grade, at the right time in the gold cycle, to achieve our goal.
Our 2009 drill program will begin the process of expanding the resource by exploring new targets within the Horeshoe and Red Mountain Zones. This will culminate in a new 43-101 resource. Subsequent drill programs will focus on expanding known areas of gold mineralization and test furtile stratigraphy north and south along strike of the main mineralized zones.

Banded iron formation-hosted gold deposits, Part I
by Derek Wilton
Banded iron formation-hosted gold deposits consist of gold intergrown with quartz and/or sulphide minerals in deformed and structurally complicated iron-rich sedimentary rocks. In general, most geologists would define these deposits as a variety of the mesothermal lode gold type.
These deposits mainly occur within Archean-aged (more than 2,600 Ma, or million years old) greenstone belts, though some are Early Proterozoic (ca. 2,100 Ma). Greenstone belts are linear volcanic and sedimentary centres that are engulfed and completely surrounded by granitic-gneissic basement rocks; these belts are typical of the shield areas of northern Ontario and Quebec and the Northwest Territories. The banded iron formation (BIF) host rocks are thinly layered (layers can be measured in centimetres) sedimentary rocks with alternating iron-rich and cherty (silicious) layers; the BIFs can have considerable lateral extents.
There are different types of BIFs, defined on the basis of the mineralogy of the iron-rich layers: if the iron-rich layer is dominantly
magnetite-hematite, then the BIF is termed oxide facies (a sedimentary term meaning a distinctive group of characteristics that distinguish one sedimentary unit from another); if the layer is composed of pyrite and/or pyrrhotite (iron sulphides), then the BIF is called sulphide facies. There are also carbonate- and silicate-facies BIFs.
All BIF's are classified as chemical sediments, which means that they formed through chemical precipitation from seawater on the sea floor. Other sedimentary textures in the BIFs suggest deposition in shallow water on submarine continental shelves.
Gold occurs as native (free) gold intergrown with pyrite and/or pyrrhotite; arsenopyrite and/or magnetite are also present in some deposits. Other accessory and trace minerals are similar to those found in mesothermal lode gold deposits, such as sphalerite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, scheelite, and molybdenite. Mineralogy of the host-rock alteration is predicated upon the fact the rocks are iron-rich. In the case of oxide-facies BIF, primary hematite-magnetite is replaced by pyrite-pyrrhotite with minor siderite (iron carbonate). Quartz, in the form of crosscutting veins, is also a common alteration mineral and, most typically, the gold is intergrown with sulphides in the quartz veins. Chlorite is a common alteration product of silicate minerals here.
Most generally, BIF-hosted gold deposits are thought to form by the reaction of auriferous and sulphur-bearing hydrothermal fluids with the iron oxide (or sulphide) in country rocks, causing precipitation of gold and sulphides. The gold is present in quartz veins or the immediate wallrock, wherein the precipitation reactions occur. As such, the deposits are said to be stratabound (i.e., the gold is contained within a single stratigraphic unit, but the mineralization can cut across the layering in the unit) because the specific chemical horizon responsible for gold precipitation is represented by a single sedimentary horizon. Access to the favorable chemical environments of the BIF for the hydrothermal fluids was provided by large-scale fault and shear systems in a manner similar to that visualized in mesothermal lode gold models.
There is debate as to the origin of a few BIF-hosted gold deposits. Some geologists suggest that gold actually precipitated with the original chemical sedimentary host rocks as sort of a submarine hot-spring that exhaled onto the sea floor. In this model, subsequent deformation of the gold-enriched BIF led to the local remobilization and secondary concentration of gold in highly deformed zones. In other words, the gold was originally precipitated at above-normal concentrations in the BIF but was concentrated up to ore grade with deformation of the BIF. In this case, the gold in the BIF would be classified as stratiform (truly bedded and related to the deposition of the host unit), based on its original pre-deformation form.

Banded Iron Formation-hosted gold deposits, Part 2
by Derek Wilton
Banded iron formation-hosted gold deposits are important in terms of Canadian and U.S. gold production, as illustrated by mines such as the Lupin and Musselwhite in Canada and the Homestake in South Dakota.
In general, gold deposits in banded iron formations (BIFs) contain from 0.1 to 100 million tonnes of ore grading between 4 and 30 grams gold per tonne. The Homestake mine, a world-class example of this deposit type, has produced over 1,180 tonnes of gold from 118 million tonnes of ore since operations began in 1876; remaining reserves at the end of 1996 were over 21.5 million tonnes of ore grading 6.72 grams gold.
Lupin has over 9 million tonnes of ore grading 10 to 11 grams gold. The gold is relatively pure, with moderate to low silver content of generally less than 6 grams. The gold ore is mined in a similar manner to that of mesothermal lode gold deposits, with emphasis on veins or sulphide-rich portions of the BIFs.
Since the veins and BIFs are frequently narrow units, mining is typically an underground operation, but there is some production from open pits. The bulk ore is crushed, then fed through a processing and refining plant akin to those in use at archetypal mesothermal lode gold operations. As BIF-hosted gold deposits are restricted to greenstone belt terranes in Archean to Early Proterozoic shield areas, exploration would be directed towards regions such as the Superior and Slave provinces of the Canadian Shield. The main points in both variations to the genetic model for these deposits are that deformation either provided permeable pathways for the gold-bearing ore fluids along faults, or caused remobilization of pre-existing gold accumulations, essentially enriching and upgrading gold concentrations. Exploration would focus on highly deformed, structurally complicated portions of BIFs within greenstone belts, especially where regional fault-shear systems cut through.
The dominant structural style of the deformation manifested at most gold-bearing BIFs is folding; hence contorted fold zones in a BIF would also be a favorable exploration target. Though deformation is strongly developed in these deposits, metamorphic grade usually does not exceed greenschist facies.
Exploration should further zero in on portions of BIFs that are sulphide facies or on areas with sulphide alteration overprinting oxide facies BIF. Since BIFs account for less than 5% of the area of greenstone belts, exploration would first be directed towards locating these sedimentary rocks within the greenstone belt piles. Such exploration would be aided by airborne and ground geophysical surveys over the greenstone belts, since the greatly elevated metal contents of the host rocks make them very electrically conductive and thus discernable by electromagnetic surveys. Also, the rocks' magnetite (plus pyrrhotite) contents make them readily detectable by magnetic surveys. Induced polarization surveys would also be very advantageous in detailed exploration for, and mapping of, these conductive host rocks. Regional geochemical surveys for iron formation and elevated concentrations of gold, iron, arsenic, bismuth and antimony could also prove effective in exploration. " "
Komplett Sinn macht das für mich immernoch nicht, die Angaben hier in der Mail schon -aber dann müssten eigentlich die Angaben auf Deren Website zu den verschiedenen Schätzungen IMO nicht ganz richtig sein. Und schade, dass er nicht noch mehr auf die anderen Fragen eingegangen ist.

Since the veins and BIFs are frequently narrow units, mining is typically an underground operation, but there is some production from open pits. The bulk ore is crushed, then fed through a processing and refining plant akin to those in use at archetypal mesothermal lode gold operations. As BIF-hosted gold deposits are restricted to greenstone belt terranes in Archean to Early Proterozoic shield areas, exploration would be directed towards regions such as the Superior and Slave provinces of the Canadian Shield. The main points in both variations to the genetic model for these deposits are that deformation either provided permeable pathways for the gold-bearing ore fluids along faults, or caused remobilization of pre-existing gold accumulations, essentially enriching and upgrading gold concentrations. Exploration would focus on highly deformed, structurally complicated portions of BIFs within greenstone belts, especially where regional fault-shear systems cut through.
The dominant structural style of the deformation manifested at most gold-bearing BIFs is folding; hence contorted fold zones in a BIF would also be a favorable exploration target. Though deformation is strongly developed in these deposits, metamorphic grade usually does not exceed greenschist facies.
Exploration should further zero in on portions of BIFs that are sulphide facies or on areas with sulphide alteration overprinting oxide facies BIF. Since BIFs account for less than 5% of the area of greenstone belts, exploration would first be directed towards locating these sedimentary rocks within the greenstone belt piles. Such exploration would be aided by airborne and ground geophysical surveys over the greenstone belts, since the greatly elevated metal contents of the host rocks make them very electrically conductive and thus discernable by electromagnetic surveys. Also, the rocks' magnetite (plus pyrrhotite) contents make them readily detectable by magnetic surveys. Induced polarization surveys would also be very advantageous in detailed exploration for, and mapping of, these conductive host rocks. Regional geochemical surveys for iron formation and elevated concentrations of gold, iron, arsenic, bismuth and antimony could also prove effective in exploration. " "
Komplett Sinn macht das für mich immernoch nicht, die Angaben hier in der Mail schon -aber dann müssten eigentlich die Angaben auf Deren Website zu den verschiedenen Schätzungen IMO nicht ganz richtig sein. Und schade, dass er nicht noch mehr auf die anderen Fragen eingegangen ist.
Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 37.555.493 von Popeye82 am 11.07.09 22:44:10Hallo Popeye,
bloß, weil ich grad deine "iron banded" ... lese ...
Viel weiß ich auch nicht, außer dass sie (zu Kupfer) selten sind. Kommen auch teilweise in Afrika vor.
Ich bin da im Zuge von Pater Hambro drauf gestoßen, die haben so ein Projekt in der Amur-Region. Glaube, so 20% Eisen und 6/8 Gramm Gold. Geologisch ist es "dieselbe Gegend", Beringsee ja sehr neu geologisch. Bin aber kein Geologe, nach 3 Semestern Geographie hats gereicht.
Zu Hambro: Die haben so 1 Miilion Unzen ausgwiesen, 100000 pro Jahr, Caskosten unter 100 (aus dem Gedächtnis); Abbau für 2011 geplant. Guter technischer Bericht auf ihrer Hompage.
Weiß jetzt keinen Capex, wenn Verarbeitungsanlage nötig, dann teuer; Infrastruktur nötig, da sonst schwierig mit Abtransport des Eisens als Beiprodukt.
Hab jetzt leider wenig Zeit, schau später noch rein. Man sollte das weiterverfolgen, da Eisen sehr leicht radiomagnetisch nachweisbar ist, und wenn Eisen die Trägersubstanz von dem Gold ist ... aber wie gesagt, ich bin kein Experte und hoffe, dass das stimmt, was ich da so schreibe ... ansonsten hab ich mich blamiert und schäm mich ...

Hallo buw,
Danke für die Einschätzung -dann werde ich mal versuchen zu gucken, ob man über Peter Hambro, Comaplex etc. ein bisschen mehr in der Sache rausbekommt.
Für´s erste würde ich aber eigentlich dahin tendieren, dass es(bei Erfolg) die Gehalte &die Tiefe eigentlich, mehr als, rausreissen sollten(eventl. deutlich höhere Capex(?) -dafür mal sehr profitable Aussichten) -dazu dürfte das Eisen ja noch eine zuätzliche, potentielle, Einnahmequelle darstellen.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 37.655.525 von Popeye82 am 27.07.09 21:18:25Hallo Popeye,
hab später gesehen, dass du zu dem Eisen noch was ausgegraben hattest - hab da schon mit dem Lesen aufgehört gehabt.
Mit der Capex hab ich nur gemeint, wenn die das Eisen als Beiprodukt abbauen, was sie bei Peter Hambro so machen. Ansonsten sind die Goldgehalte für sich allein schon überzeugend; aber das Eisen dazu wär m.E. ein Schmankerl. Natürlich zu früh, um sich darüber zu "sorgen".
Ohne mich näher beschäftigt zu haben ... interessant, was du so ausgräbst.
Ich hab da noch ne einen Wert (verkauft letztes Jahr in dem Explorerdebakel), vielleicht schaust du ihn dir mal an; ich find ihn immer noch gut:
CBR Gold sitzen in Nunavut auf 700000 Unzen indicated und inferred, 6 Gramm, riesige Gebiete in einem jungfräulichen Greenstone Belt; das Geologenteam ist echt gut, so weit ich das beurteilen kann
zweites Projekt aus Merger (Niblack); polymetallisch, Alaska, seit neuestem Joint Venture mit ner bekannten privaten Firma (leider Name vergessen)
Nur wenn Zeit ... aber deine Expertise würd mich interessieren ... wär vielleicht per BM besser gewesen ... aber egal
Hier kann man echt mal gucken, was wird ...
Bis später, buw

Merc Announces Drilling Update at Damoti Lake Gold Project - August 5th, 2009
www.mercinternational.ca/newsReleases/2009/090805.html
"Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSXV: MRK) today provides an update on its first drill program at the Damoti Lake Gold Project, located 200 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Merc’s ongoing 2009 exploration program, which is designed to expand upon the historic resource at Damoti Lake, consists of compiling and auditing all historical data, defining and testing new drill targets, and initiating a NI 43-101 resource estimate.
The current 6,000 metre, 20 to 30 drill hole program, that started on July 1, 2009, is intended to infill priority target areas within the current resource and to extend mineralized zones along strike and to depth within the Horseshoe and Pyrite Zones. Drilling in the latter part of this program will focus along mineralized structures 150 metres west of the Horseshoe Zone within the Red Mountain, Pink Antler and Lookout Zones. To date, 1,500 metres have been drilled. Re-sampling of previous drill core and samples from the first six holes of the current program have been sent to ALS Chemex’s assay laboratory in Vancouver; Merc expects to release these assay results by the third week of August 2009.
This drill program is expected to be completed by October 2009. A NI 43-101 compliant resource will then be completed using all drilling results to date within the Horseshoe Zone (135 drill holes) as well as the drilling completed in Merc’s 2009 program (20 to 30 holes). The resource will also make use of approximately 63 holes not included in the 1997 and 2004 resource estimates.
“We are very excited about the drilling to date,” reported Dr. Michael Byron, Merc’s President and CEO. “Drilling has tested several new targets within the southern portion of the Horseshoe Zone, and is now focused on following the fold structure down plunge to the north and along its western limb. These areas represent priority targets for resource expansion.”

Merc Intersects 13.91 Grams Gold Per Tonne Over 23.50 Metres at Damoti - August 25th, 2009
www.mercinternational.ca/newsReleases/2009/090825.html
"Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSXV: MRK) announces that the initial drill results from its gold resource expansion program on the Damoti Lake Gold Project in the Northwest Territories has returned 13.91 grams gold per tonne over 23.50 metres (including 20.95 grams gold per tonne over 9.60 metres) from hole D09-377 and 9.31 grams gold per tonne over 22.30 metres (including 22.06 grams gold per tonne over 4.60 metres) from hole D09-380.
"We are extremely encouraged with these results as they clearly illustrate the high-grade nature and continuity of the Horseshoe Zone mineralization. Drilling continues as we advance our exploration efforts north along the mineralized structure and westward, targeting similar mineralized folds" states Dr. Michael Byron, Merc's President and CEO. “Our confidence is high in Damoti and its potential to evolve into a high-grade, multi-million ounce deposit,” added Dr. Byron.
Merc's ongoing 2009 exploration program is designed to expand upon the historic resource (News Release - August 5, 2008) by infilling priority target areas, extending mineralized zones along strike and to depth within the Horseshoe and Pyrite Zones - where the fold nose offers considerable potential - and to test similar mineralized structures 150 metres west of the Horseshoe Zone within the Red Mountain, Pink Antler and Lookout Zones.
The 6,000 metre, 20 to 30 hole initial phase program was initiated on July 1, 2009, and is expected to be completed in October 2009. Approximately 3,000 metres have been drilled to date. Assays have been returned for the first 614 metres and summarized in the table below. Updated maps and drill sections will be available on Merc’s website when completed.

*Lengths are reported as core lengths. True widths are not known at this time.
These first seven holes, covering approximately 10% of the 2009 drill program, have tested the southern portion of the Horseshoe Zone where mineralization is typically hosted by strongly chloritized and sulphidized banded iron formation within the eastern limb of the syncline. As short holes (88 metre average lengths) targeting shallow mineralization, they are intended to confirm historic drill results and to infill the current resource model presently being advanced by Merc. Drilling is now focussed on following the mineralization down plunge to the north and along the relatively untested western limb of the fold.
Results from holes D09-377 and D09-380 emphasize the excellent grade and continuity of the near surface Horseshoe Zone gold mineralization. Areas of high-grade mineralization are best developed with the top and basal portions of the iron formation unit where gold occurs in association with the sulphide mineral pyrrhotite and, to a lesser extent, pyrite. Intense chloritic alteration and graphite are also prevalent and imparts a distinctive dark green/black colouration to the core. Both are also observed in association with gold.
“Work is advancing well on our three dimensional geological model. Our initial version, based on historical drilling, is complete but will be updated with information as generated from the present drill program”, commented Dr. Byron. “We are now able to visualize exciting new target opportunities from our mineralization modelling. The 0.5 grams per tonne gold mineralized shell has been completed for the Horseshoe, Pyrite, Kitchen, and Red Mountain Zones. Construction of 3 and 5 grams per tonne gold shells are in progress and this work will form the basis for our NI 43-101 compliant resource to be completed early in 2010”, added Dr. Byron.
A new NI 43-101 compliant resource will use all drilling results to date within the Horseshoe Zone (135 drill holes) as well as the drilling completed in Merc's 2009 program (20 to 30 holes), and include approximately 63 holes not included in the 1997 and 2004 resource estimates. Preliminary drill results and deposit modelling confirm the potential for resource expansion.
Merc has also completed a program of selective re-sampling and analyses of historical drill holes D97-278, D97-282 and D97-311 to validate original gold assays and confirm the high-grades at Damoti, as well as test the mineralization for a "gold nugget effect." Results from this program are expected to be compiled in September 2009.
Quality Control
Merc has implemented a quality-control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. NQ-size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals not exceeding 1.5 metres in length while core from the main mineralized horizons or core displaying visible gold or significant sulfides are sampled in greater detail generally not exceeding 1 metre in length. The remaining half core is stored in a secure location.
Core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory in Vancouver, BC. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. Gold assaying is done by a fire assay - atomic absorption spectrometry method on a 30-gram charge of a 1000 gram pulp. Samples returning values exceeding 3 gpt Au are re-checked by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Pulp and metallics assaying for gold is conducted on the entire pulverized sample for all samples within the main mineralized horizons and those samples with visible gold or significant sulfides.
As part of its QA/QC program, Merc inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples. This is in addition to the standards, blanks and pulp duplicates inserted by ALS Chemex. In addition, samples of pulps have been collected from ten percent of all samples analyzed and will be submitted to a second independent laboratory for comparison purposes.
The Damoti Lake Gold Project is being supervised by William Waychison, M.Sc.A.,P.Geo, the Qualified Person (QP) for this project. (...)"

Es wurde ein Unternehmen zur Resourcenschätzung beautragt, die irgendwann Anfang 2010 kommen soll. Weiterhin wurde eine recht bekannte IR Agentur engagiert um Merc bekannter zu machen &es wurden alte Proben, die damals nach 2verschiedenen Methoden gemacht wurden, wieder aufbereitet +auf´s Neue auf Ihre Gehalte getestet. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen die Proben von ´97, soweit wie ich das sehe liegen die manchmal etwas höher, manchmal etwas tiefer, in der Summe müsste das eigentlich relativ deckungsgleich sein. Die 2verschiedenen Arten der Proben haben aber damals schon ganz unterschiedliche Ergebnisse gebracht, was mal ganz interessant ist, wenn man das gegeneinander abgleicht. Kann die verschiedenen Herangehensweisen nicht vernünftig genug abschätzen, die wohl nötig waren um den speziellen Charakteristika von Damoti Lake gerecht zu werden(die erste Methode dürfte deutlichst zu hohe Ergebnisse gebracht haben &es eher in Richtung der zweiten Ergebnisse gehen), weshalb ich mich dann auch erstmal einfach überraschen lasse:
Merc Engages SRK to Complete a NI 43-101 Compliant Resource Estimate - Sep 14, 2009

"TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 14, 2009) - Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) announces today that it has retained SRK Consulting ("SRK") to complete a mineral resource evaluation and preparation of a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant technical report on Merc's Damoti Lake Gold Project, located 200 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. SRK is recognized as a world leader in providing technical consulting services to the mineral exploration industry.
"We are extremely pleased to have SRK working with us and look forward to the completion of an updated resource in early 2010 " states Dr. Michael Byron, Merc's President and CEO. "This resource evaluation represents an important milestone in Merc's goal of advancing Damoti into a significant gold deposit.
An exploration drill program has been underway since early July 2009 to verify and expand the historic resource by infilling priority target areas, extending mineralized zones along strike and to depth within the Horseshoe and Pyrite Zones and to test similar mineralized structures 150 metres west of the Horseshoe Zone within the Red Mountain, Pink Antler and Lookout Zones.
Merc also reports that selective re-sampling and analyses of historical drill holes D97-278, D97-282, and D97-311 validate original gold assays and confirm the high-grade tenor of the mineralization on the Damoti Lake project. Merc re-sampled selected intervals from the historic holes using the remaining half of the core that was then analysed using the metallics assay method, an industry accepted assay procedure that identifies the presence and significance of coarse gold in a sample. Assay results are summarized in the table below and compared with the standard fire assay method results of 1997.

Results compare exceptionally well, except for some high-grade samples and composite intervals such as D97-282, footage 132.3 to 135.8, where the re-sampled value is approximately a factor of 10 lower than the original value. This can best be attributed to the variable nugget-like characteristics of the Damoti gold mineralization. To address the nugget effect Merc is using the metallics method to analyse all iron formation sections that host significant sulphide mineralization and/or alteration.
Re-sampling was also intended to examine the mineralized shoulders of some historic intersections to determine whether pulp metallic assaying would prove effective in extending mineralization widths. Results proved inconclusive, however one sample taken by Merc at the end of a mineralized interval in hole D97-282 (147.0 m to 147.5 m), that was not sampled by the previous workers, returned 19.20 g/t Au, better than twice the original adjacent sample. Merc routinely samples all intersected iron formation to avoid such oversights.
A new NI 43-101 compliant resource will use all drilling results to date within the Horseshoe Zone (135 drill holes) as well as the drilling completed in Merc's 2009 program (20 to 30 holes), and include approximately 63 holes not included in the 1997 and 2004 resource estimates. Preliminary drill results and deposit modelling confirm the potential for resource expansion.
Renmark Financial Communications Inc.
Additionally, Merc has retained the services of Renmark Financial Communications Inc. to handle its investor relation's activities.
"We are pleased to announce that we have selected Renmark to reinforce Merc International Minerals' profile in the financial community and enhance the visibility of our project portfolio. We choose Renmark because its standards and methodologies fit best with the message we wish to communicate to the investing public," noted Merc's CEO, Dr. Michael Byron.
In consideration of the services to be provided, the Company has agreed to pay a monthly retainer of $3,500 for a one-year contract to Renmark Financial Communications Inc. Renmark Financial Communications does not have any interest, directly or indirectly, in Merc International Minerals Inc. or its securities, or any right or intent to acquire such an interest.
Quality Control
Merc International Minerals, Inc. has implemented a quality-control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. NQ-size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals not exceeding 1.5 metres in length while core from the main mineralized horizons or core displaying visible gold or significant sulfides are sampled in greater detail generally not exceeding 1 metre in length. The remaining half core is stored in a secure location.
Core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory in Vancouver, BC. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. Gold assaying is done by a fire assay - atomic absorption spectrometry method on a 30-gram charge of a 1000 gram pulp. Samples returning values exceeding 3 g/t Au are re-checked by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Pulp and metallics assaying for gold is conducted on the entire pulverized sample for all samples within the main mineralized horizons and those samples with visible gold or significant sulfides.
As part of its QA/QC program, Merc International Minerals inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples. This is in addition to the standards, blanks and pulp duplicates inserted by ALS Chemex. In addition, samples of pulps have been collected from ten percent of all samples analyzed and will be submitted to a second independent laboratory for comparison purposes.
The Damoti Lake Gold Project is being supervised by William Waychison, M.Sc.A.,P.Geo, the Qualified Person (QP) for this project. (...)"

Merc Intersects 21.35 Grams Gold Per Tonne Over 5.0 metres at Damoti Reports New Gold Zone Discovery - Sep 16, 2009
www.mercinternational.ca/newsReleases/2009/090916.html
"Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSXV: MRK) released results today for four more drillholes from its ongoing gold resource expansion program on the Damoti Lake Gold Project in the Northwest Territories. Drillhole D09-382 returned 21.35 grams gold per tonne over 5.00 metres (including 39.6 grams gold per tonne over 2.65 metres), and intersected a new gold zone at depth within the west limb of the Horseshoe syncline that assayed 3.63 grams gold per tonne over 7.55 metres (including 12.02 grams gold per tonne over 1.10 metres). Approximately 40 meters northeast of the D09-382 west limb intersection, D09-384 intersected 18 meters grading 2.86 grams gold per tonne near the base of the west limb (including a 5.0 metres at 4.97 grams gold per tonne, 0.60 metres at 15.40 grams gold per tonne and 1.10 metres at 10.40 grams gold per tonne).
"These results are very encouraging as they continue to demonstrate the robust nature of gold mineralization within the iron formation on the property, and point to the untapped potential for additional discoveries along our 12 kilometres of strike length,” stated President and CEO Dr. Michael Byron. “Our discovery of a new gold zone represents an exciting advancement at Damoti. Being the first significant intersection in the west limb of the fold, this entire limb is now open and highly prospective, thus strongly supporting the potential for ongoing resource expansion. We look forward to continued exploration work on this new zone,” he added.
Results for Merc's initial seven drillholes were reported on August 25, 2009. Summarized highlights include 13.91 grams gold per tonne over 23.50 metres (including 20.95 grams gold per tonne over 9.60 metres) from hole D09-377 and 9.31 grams gold per tonne over 22.30 metres (including 22.06 grams gold per tonne over 4.60 metres) from hole D09-380. These short holes targeted shallow mineralization within the southern portion of the Horseshoe Zone, were intended to confirm some historic drill results, and to infill the current resource model presently being advanced by Merc.
Drilling is now focused on following the mineralization down plunge to the north and along the relatively untested western limb of the fold, and to infill priority target areas within the resource model.

* Lengths are reported as core lengths. True widths are not known at this time.
Areas of significant iron formation hosted gold mineralization occur in association with the sulphide mineral pyrrhotite, and to a lessor extent, pyrite. Intense chloritic alteration and graphite are also prevalent and impart a distinctive dark green/black colouration to the core. Both are also observed in association with gold. Dr. Byron stated, “As both pyrrhotite and graphite are good conductors, we believe that a combination of magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) geophysical surveys should prove very effective for identifying and tracking this style of mineralization throughout our property.”
The ongoing 2009 exploration program is designed to establish the basis from which to complete a mineral resource evaluation and preparation of a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant technical report on the Damoti Lake Gold Project (News Release - September 14, 2009). To date approximately 4,800 metres have been drilled. The program is expected to be completed by early October.
In a recent news release (September 14, 2009) it was reported that Merc had retained SRK Consulting to complete a mineral resource evaluation and preparation of a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant technical report. A new NI 43-101 compliant resource will use all drilling results to date and is expected to be completed early in 2010.

Summarized highlights include 13.91 grams gold per tonne over 23.50 metres (including 20.95 grams gold per tonne over 9.60 metres) from hole D09-377 and 9.31 grams gold per tonne over 22.30 metres (including 22.06 grams gold per tonne over 4.60 metres) from hole D09-380. These short holes targeted shallow mineralization within the southern portion of the Horseshoe Zone, were intended to confirm some historic drill results, and to infill the current resource model presently being advanced by Merc.
Drilling is now focused on following the mineralization down plunge to the north and along the relatively untested western limb of the fold, and to infill priority target areas within the resource model.

* Lengths are reported as core lengths. True widths are not known at this time.
Areas of significant iron formation hosted gold mineralization occur in association with the sulphide mineral pyrrhotite, and to a lessor extent, pyrite. Intense chloritic alteration and graphite are also prevalent and impart a distinctive dark green/black colouration to the core. Both are also observed in association with gold. Dr. Byron stated, “As both pyrrhotite and graphite are good conductors, we believe that a combination of magnetic and electromagnetic (EM) geophysical surveys should prove very effective for identifying and tracking this style of mineralization throughout our property.”
The ongoing 2009 exploration program is designed to establish the basis from which to complete a mineral resource evaluation and preparation of a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant technical report on the Damoti Lake Gold Project (News Release - September 14, 2009). To date approximately 4,800 metres have been drilled. The program is expected to be completed by early October.
In a recent news release (September 14, 2009) it was reported that Merc had retained SRK Consulting to complete a mineral resource evaluation and preparation of a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant technical report. A new NI 43-101 compliant resource will use all drilling results to date and is expected to be completed early in 2010.
Quality Control
Merc International Minerals, Inc. has implemented a quality-control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. NQ-size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals not exceeding 1.5 metres in length while core from the main mineralized horizons or core displaying visible gold or significant sulfides are sampled in greater detail generally not exceeding 1 metre in length. The remaining half core is stored in a secure location.
Core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory in Vancouver, BC. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. Gold assaying is done by a fire assay - atomic absorption spectrometry method on a 30-gram charge of a 1000 gram pulp. Samples returning values exceeding 3 gpt Au are re-checked by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Pulp and metallics assaying for gold is conducted on the entire pulverized sample for all samples within the main mineralized horizons and those samples with visible gold or significant sulfides.
As part of its QA/QC program, Merc International Minerals inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples. This is in addition to the standards, blanks and pulp duplicates inserted by ALS Chemex. In addition, samples of pulps have been collected from ten percent of all samples analyzed and will be submitted to a second independent laboratory for comparison purposes.
The Damoti Lake Gold Project is being supervised by William Waychison, M.Sc.A.,P.Geo, the Qualified Person (QP) for this project. "

Merc Intersects 12.97 Grams Gold Per Tonne Over 3.0 Metres-Significantly Expands New Gold Zone and Extends Mineralization North-East of the Horseshoe Zone - Oct 27, 2009
www.marketwire.com/press-release/Merc-International-Minerals…
"TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 27, 2009) - Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) is pleased to report results on seven new drillholes from its ongoing gold resource expansion program at the Damoti Lake Gold Project, Northwest Territories. All holes have returned multiple gold intersections, significantly expanding the continuity of mineralization throughout the north-eastern portion of the Horseshoe Zone. In addition, a new intersection at depth in hole D09-387 (4.31 grams gold per tonne over 6.90 metres, including 30.01 grams gold per tonne over 0.80 metres) has opened up the western limb of the fold 100 meters to the north of the new discovery reported for hole D09-382 (see September 16, 2009 news release). Other drill highlights include: 12.97 grams gold per tonne over 3.0 metres, including 25.40 grams gold per tonne over 1.50 metres; 30.01 grams gold per tonne over 0.80 metres; 17.68 grams gold per tonne over 1.80 metres, including 23.70 grams gold per tonne over 1.10 metres.
President and CEO Dr. Michael Byron said, "The confirmation of mineralized iron formation within the keel of the syncline, and extending upward into the west limb of the fold, adds considerably to the potential for ongoing resource expansion, both latterly and vertically in this area. The fact that all seven holes returned multiple gold intersections is further evidence of the robust nature of the mineralization. We are very excited and look forward to continuing exploration work on this new zone," he added.

Drillholes D09-386B, 387, 388 and 389B successfully intersected mineralization within the fold nose, down plunge from previously reported intersections (September 16, 2009 press release), and traced mineralized zones vertically into the west limb gold zone, located at depth within the west limb of the Horseshoe syncline. This latest drilling has extended the potential strike length of the new gold zone north 100 metres, while remaining open down plunge to the north, and vertically within the west arm of the fold.
Holes D09-388, 389, 389B and 389C, the most northerly holes drilled in this campaign, have extended previously identified near-surface mineralized zones an additional 50 metres to the north. In this area, D09-389 returned 4.53grams gold per tonne over 6.0 metres (including 12.2 grams gold per tonne over 1.5 metres), while D09-389B returned 7.81 grams gold per tonne over 4.25 metres (including 17.68 grams gold over 1.8 metres and 23.70 grams gold per tonne over 1.10 metre). Further exploration is warranted as the shallow zone remains open to the north.
The remaining holes drilled in the 2009 summer program were directed towards expanding mineralization within the Red Mountain syncline located 150 metres west of the Horseshoe Zone, and to explore for new gold zones within the fold. Results for these holes will be reported once they have all been received by the Company.
Expansion and winterizing of the Damoti field camp is complete in preparation for a winter drill program. In late 2009, Merc will carry out detailed ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys designed to identify new drill targets throughout the 14 kilometres of iron formation within the Damoti property. The winter drill program, planned for early 2010, will follow up on results from the summer program and be broadened to confirm and increase the high-grade gold BIF Island Zone located 4 kilometres northeast of the Horseshoe Zone, and to expand the overall resource. This area hosts mineralization similar to that of the Horseshoe Zone yet has not seen any exploration activity since 1996. Historical 1993 results include near surface intersections of 11.10 meters assaying 11.74 grams gold per tonne and 2.7 metres of 42.26 grams gold per tonne. 1994 drilling includes shallow intersections of 37.12 grams gold per tonne over 23.88 metres, including 81.21 grams gold per tonne over 8.82 metres; and 2.60 metres of 220 grams gold per tonne.
"Exploration opportunities within the BIF Island Zone are exceptional and we have already identified a number of high-priority targets in this 4 kilometre zone that have not been tested", states Dr. Byron. "In addition, our planned geophysical surveys will be instrumental in identifying additional primary targets that will be drilled in this winter's program".
In a recent news release (September 14, 2009) it was reported that Merc had retained SRK Consulting to initiate a mineral resource evaluation and preparation of a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant technical report. SRK has recently completed their site visit of the project area and reviewed the Company's sampling procedures and protocols.

Historical 1993 results include near surface intersections of 11.10 meters assaying 11.74 grams gold per tonne and 2.7 metres of 42.26 grams gold per tonne. 1994 drilling includes shallow intersections of 37.12 grams gold per tonne over 23.88 metres, including 81.21 grams gold per tonne over 8.82 metres; and 2.60 metres of 220 grams gold per tonne.
"Exploration opportunities within the BIF Island Zone are exceptional and we have already identified a number of high-priority targets in this 4 kilometre zone that have not been tested", states Dr. Byron. "In addition, our planned geophysical surveys will be instrumental in identifying additional primary targets that will be drilled in this winter's program".
In a recent news release (September 14, 2009) it was reported that Merc had retained SRK Consulting to initiate a mineral resource evaluation and preparation of a National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant technical report. SRK has recently completed their site visit of the project area and reviewed the Company's sampling procedures and protocols.
Quality Control
Merc International Minerals, Inc. has implemented a quality-control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. NQ-size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals not exceeding 1.5 metres in length while core from the main mineralized horizons or core displaying visible gold or significant sulfides are sampled in greater detail generally not exceeding 1 metre in length. The remaining half core is stored in a secure location.
Core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory in Vancouver, BC. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. Gold assaying is done by a fire assay - atomic absorption spectrometry method on a 30-gram charge of a 1000 gram pulp. Samples returning values exceeding 3 gpt Au are re-checked by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Pulp and metallics assaying for gold is conducted on the entire pulverized sample for all samples within the main mineralized horizons and those samples with visible gold or significant sulfides.
As part of its QA/QC program, Merc International Minerals inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples. This is in addition to the standards, blanks and pulp duplicates inserted by ALS Chemex. In addition, samples of pulps have been collected from ten percent of all samples analyzed and will be submitted to a second independent laboratory for comparison purposes.
The Damoti Lake Gold Project is being supervised by William Waychison, M.Sc.A., P.Geo., the Qualified Person (QP) for this project. (...)"

"President’s Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
2009 was a breakout year for Merc International Minerals Inc. The year was highlighted by the successful completion of our first drill campaign on our principal asset, the Damoti Lake Gold Project. Numerous high-grade gold intercepts were reported in addition to the discovery of new high-grade zones. In November of 2009, Merc closed a $3.1 million financing which will be directed towards our 2010 winter drill program at Damoti Lake. Drilling will focus on expanding newly discovered mineralized zones, developing known zones to depth and along strike, and to test other high profile gold targets on the property as defined by our ongoing geological modelling and surface geophysical program (to be initiated in the first week of January 2010).
The Damoti Lake Gold property truly represents a world class opportunity for the Company. Drilling to date has confirmed the high-grade character of the deposit’s near-surface gold mineralization, intersected new high-grade zones at depth, and discovered mineralized zones within new regions of the host fold structures. In the 2009 summer program, 27 drill holes were completed (5,600 metres) resulting in 26 holes intersecting significant gold mineralization, for a 96% hit rate, and 20 holes, or 77%, intersecting multiple mineralized zones. These impressive hit rates are a testament to the pervasive style of gold mineralization hosted within the Damoti iron formation, and confirm this property’s exciting potential.
Early in 2010, Merc will table a new National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource that will set the foundation from which Damoti Lake will be expanded. This next year will be a very busy year for our Company as we plan to aggressively advance Damoti Lake towards the north’s next economic gold deposit. On behalf of the Board of Directors and management, I wish to acknowledge and thank you, our shareholders, for your ongoing support.
Sincerely,

Merc Initiates Geophysical Program at Its Damoti Lake Gold Project - Jan 26, 2010
www.marketwire.com/press-release/Merc-Initiates-Geophysical-…
"TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 26, 2010) - Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) announced today that a ground geophysical program has commenced at its Damoti Lake Gold Project in preparation for the 2010 Winter Drill Program expected to begin in early March. The first drill program was completed in early November 2009 and included 27 drill holes (5,600 metres) of which 96% intersected gold mineralization. (For further results please visit Merc's website: www.mercinternational.ca.)
As part of an initial orientation program, a detailed ground magnetic, electromagnetic, and localized induced polarization surveys will be carried out over gold mineralized zones previously drilled by Merc in order to determine their physical responses and characteristics. This information will be used to help trace mineralization along strike and down plunge within the known host structures, and to establish better survey parameters to more effectively target and assess new opportunities throughout the property's 14 kilometre strike length of gold mineralized iron formation.
"The detailed magnetic survey will help us locate areas of structural complexities, including folding, faulting, and thickening of the iron formation units, all of which represent highly prospective areas in terms of their potential to host gold mineralization," stated Merc's CEO, Dr. Michael Byron. "Once identified, electromagnetic and induced polarization surveys will be selectively run over these areas to identify conductors, as the association between gold and pyrrhotite, a highly conductive mineral, has been well documented. The resulting targets will be tested in our upcoming drill program as we continue to aggressively advance Damoti Lake."
In November 2009, Merc closed a $3.1 million flow-through financing to support the 2010 Damoti Lake geophysics and winter drill program (10,000 metres), which is expected to be completed by May 2010.
Merc is also pleased to announce that it will be displaying core samples from its 2009 Damoti Lake Summer Drill Program at the 2010 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada's (PDAC) Trade Show in Toronto, Ontario. The core may be viewed on March 7 & 8, 2010 at the PDAC Core Shack, Booth #5004, Level 700, Metro Toronto Convention Center, South Building. ..."

"TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 4, 2010) - Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) has now completed the previously reported (see January 26, 2010 news release) ground geophysical program at its Damoti Lake Gold Project. The program was carried out between January and early March 2010, and consisted of detailed ground magnetic, electromagnetic, and localized induced polarization surveys. Initial orientation surveys focused on gold mineralized zones previously drilled by Merc in order to determine their physical responses and characteristics and create a geophysical "footprint" of known mineralized areas. Subsequent work was then broadened to trace mineralization along strike and down plunge within the host structures and identify potential drill targets with similar geophysical "footprints" throughout the property's 14 kilometre strike length of gold mineralized iron formation.
Mobilization for Merc's Damoti Lake 2010 Winter Drill Program is underway and Merc anticipates drilling to begin in late March 2010. This drill program (10,000 – 12,000 meters) will focus on the BIF Island, Horseshoe, and Red Mountain Zones, as well as other drill targets identified by the geophysical program.
Merc's first drill program was completed in early November 2009 and included 27 drill holes (5,600 metres) of which 96% intersected gold mineralization. (For further results please visit Merc's website: www.mercinternational.ca).

Merc Commences Drilling at Its Damoti Lake Gold Project - Mar 24, 2010

"TORONTO, ONTARIO -- 03/24/10 -- Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE: MRK) announced today the start of its second diamond drill program at the Damoti Lake Gold Project, located 200 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Drilling is currently underway as two rigs begin a 10,000 to 12,000 meter program intended to extend known mineralization to depth within the Horseshoe North zone, to extend new zones discovered at Red Mountain by the 2009 drill program and to confirm and expand the high-grade mineralization previously reported for the BIF Island zone.
On March 4, 2010 Merc reported the completion of its winter geophysics program of detailed ground magnetic, electromagnetic, and localized induced polarization surveys. Initial orientation surveys were carried out over known mineralization to determine their physical characteristics, in effect, creating a geophysical "footprint". Subsequent surveys helped trace mineralization along strike and down plunge within the iron formation and identified new drill targets elsewhere on the property with similar "footprints". Drilling will test these new geophysical targets, as well as other high-priority mineralized zones that are represented by significant geophysical anomalies including Knob Hill, Runway, Lard, and Granite.
"Drill crews arrived on site last week and drilling is now in progress, with our first assay results expected by mid to late April," reported Dr. Michael Byron, Merc's President and CEO. "We are very excited and look forward to testing these new targets including those identified by our recently completed geophysical program. Deposit modeling at Red Mountain, Horseshoe and BIF Island present additional drill targets that are expected to expand the Damoti resource."

Agnico-Eagle Mines acquires Comaplex Mining for CDN$570 million - PI - Apr 3, 2010
- by Sergei Balashov -
www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/5153/agnico-eagle-…
"Agnico-Eagle Mines (TSX: AEM) is set to purchase the remaining 87% that it doesn’t yet own in Comaplex Mining (TSX: CMF) for C$570 million to take control over the Meliadine gold property in the Nunavut province in Canada, intending to speed up exploration activities to convert the resources into reserves within two years and initiate a scoping study by the end of 2011.
The consideration will consist of 0.1576 of an Agnico and a share in a new company, which will control Complex’s remaining exploration assets for one share in the company, making for a total C$10.32 per share, which represents a 34% premium to the stock’s 20-day volume weighted average on the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange).
Meliadine, which is located 186 miles from Agnico’s Meadowbank project, hosts a gold resource of 12.9 Mt (million tonnes) grading 7.9 g/t (grammes per tonne) for 3.29 Moz (million ounces) in the measured and indicated category and 8.4 Mt grading 6.4 g/t for 1.73 Moz in the inferred category.
The Meadowbank project poured its first gold earlier this year.
“On the back of a successful start up of our Meadowbank gold mine this quarter, the Meliadine property is a perfect fit with our Arctic skill set and the transaction solidifies our commitment to Nunavut and our foundation in Canada. At Meliadine, our plan would be to accelerate an underground exploration program focused on expanding the resource and converting the large resource into reserves over the next two years,” said Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of Agnico-Eagle Sean Boyd.
The company said its focus remained on the optimization of newly built gold mines and on completing several internal expansion studies that are currently underway.
Profile
Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited is an international growth company focused on gold, with operations in Canada and advanced-stage projects and opportunities in Canada, Mexico, Finland, and the USA. Agnico-Eagle's LaRonde Mine in Quebec is Canada's largest gold deposit and is a strong foundation for international expansion. "

Hbg55,
Um eines möchte ich Dich mal bitten -no Spam/Serienpostings, die der aktuellen "5min-Stimmung" entsprechen.
Braucht keiner.
Ansonsten, was m.E.n. damit zu tun haben dürfte -die Initial Resourcenschätzung wurde schon vor Eeewigkeiten angekündigt. Bis jetzt nichts. Dürfte wahrs. irgendwann nach dem Sommerbohrprogramm erfolgen. Bin drauf gespannt, aber habe keine so richtige Ahnung, wo das hingehen könnte. Würde mal meinen, alles über 500k Oz dürfte fürs Erste schon eine positive Überraschung sein. Die bisherigen Gehalte, post Nugget Effekt, liegen m.E.n. auch etwas unter Derem Ziel(íns Blaue würde ich mal schätzen viel. ~1/3 darunter(?)). Wegen der Art der letzten Finanzierung hat auch, mind., ein bekannter BBvor einiger Zeit groß zum Ausstieg geblasen. Dazu kommt sicher, dass es ja schon Entwickler schwer genug haben, "Grassroot-Exploration" aktuell aber so ziemlich gaaar keinen interessiert. Das ist so das, was mir als Erklärung v.a. ins Auge springen würde. An sich haben sie ja, noch, rein gar nichts vorzuweisen. Bin gespannt, wie das am Jahresende aussieht.

Merc Intersects 9.80 Grams Gold Per Tonne Over 8.5 Metres at Red Mountain-Reports Additional Near-Surface Mineralization
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Aug. 4, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) is pleased to report results on the remaining 13 drill holes from the recently completed 2010 Winter Drill Program at its Damoti Lake Gold Project, Northwest Territories.
Eight holes were collared within the eastern limb of the Red Mountain syncline as part of the ongoing evaluation of this mineralized fold structure. Twenty metres from surface, hole D10-420B intersected 20 metres of 5.60 grams gold per tonne, including 9.80 grams gold per tonne over 8.5 metres. This hole lies 165 metres north of drill hole D10-416B (see July 6, 2010 news release) which returned a composite assay interval of 151.40 metres of 1.64 grams gold per tonne starting 30 metres below surface. Hole D10-420B has significantly extended the mineralization northward along Red Mountain's eastern fold limb and opened up a new area for exploration. Subsequent holes D10-421, 421B, D10-422 and 422B all intersected mineralization north of 10-420B, further extending the target area in excess of 200 metres north of D10-416B.
Delineation of a newly defined mineralized corridor, as described in the July 6, 2010 news release, is largely based upon drill results to date, and results from the winter ground geophysics program. The corridor includes the Red Mountain Zone, the high-grade Horseshoe Zone (125 metres to the east of the Red Mountain Zone), and the magnetic high associated with an induced polarization (IP) anomaly located 250 metres further east of Horseshoe. Current drill results further confirm the presence of this feature and its extension to the north. Merc is presently working at developing drill targets within the corridor, as this represents an exciting new prospect.
"In addition to the high-grade mineralization, drilling at Red Mountain has also identified several near-surface areas of extensive lower grade mineralization that is considered of great exploration significance," commented Dr. Michael Byron, Merc President and CEO. "Coinciding with the large composite lengths reported for previously drilled holes D10-416B and D10-420B, drill hole D10-422B intersected, starting from surface, 86.5 metres grading 0.44 grams gold per tonne. Such pervasive mineralization may be indicative of nearby higher grade zones," added Dr. Byron. "These opportunities will be evaluated further upon completion of our geological modeling, as this mineralized setting may be amenable to bulk mining methods."
Drill holes D10-427, 427B and 427C tested the near-surface northern extension of the Horseshoe mineralized zone returning 5.03 grams gold per tonne over 3.5 metres, 14.95 grams gold per tonne over 0.5 metres; 1.0 metre of 14.66 grams gold per tonne, including 0.5 metres of 28.20 grams gold per tonne; and 2.5 metres of 6.56 grams gold per tonne, including 0.5 metres of 22.90 grams gold per tonne. Additional holes are to further evaluate/extend the Horseshoe mineralization northward within the fold limb, and to more effectively model the controls on mineralization. These results continue to demonstrate the ongoing potential of this mineralized zone.
Two holes, D10-430 and 430B, were drilled in the nose of a fold west of the Runway syncline, 200 metres southwest of the Red Mountain drilling. Drilling appears to have intersected the fringe of a mineralized zone with results of 3.5 metres of 3.49 grams gold per tonne, including 12.5 grams gold per tonne over 0.5 metre. Given these encouraging early results, geological modeling of this area will better define additional targets.
The 2010 Winter Drill Program was intended to trace mineralization northward within the Horseshoe Zone, to extend new zones discovered at Red Mountain by the 2009 Summer Drill Program, and to confirm and expand the high-grade mineralization previously reported for the BIF Island Zone. Drilling was successful in infilling and extending the stacked mineralized zones identified at Red Mountain, intersecting additional near surface mineralization, and opening up the northern portions of the Red Mountain and Horseshoe Synclines.
Additional drilling and exploration work is planned and is contingent upon the incorporation of the present drill results into an expanded geological model to assist in target generation and evaluation.

Quality Control
Merc International Minerals Inc. has implemented a quality-control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. NQ-size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals not exceeding 1.5 metres in length while core from the main mineralized horizons or core displaying visible gold or significant sulfides are sampled in greater detail generally not exceeding 1 metre in length. The remaining half core is stored in a secure location.
Core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory, Vancouver, BC. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. Gold assaying is done by a fire assay - atomic absorption spectrometry method on a 30-gram charge of a 1,000 gram pulp. Samples returning values exceeding 3 gpt Au are re-checked by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Pulp and metallics assaying for gold is conducted on the entire pulverized sample for all samples within the main mineralized horizons and those samples with visible gold or significant sulfides.
As part of its QA/QC program, Merc International Minerals Inc. inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples. This is in addition to the standards, blanks and pulp duplicates inserted by ALS Chemex. In addition, samples of pulps have been collected from ten percent of all samples analyzed and will be submitted to a second independent laboratory for comparison purposes.
The Damoti Lake Gold Project is being supervised by William Waychison, M.Sc.A., P.Geo., the Qualified Person (QP) for this project.
This news release may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions and judgments of management regarding future events or results. Such statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Merc disclaims any intention or obligation to revise or update such statements.

Quality Control
Merc International Minerals Inc. has implemented a quality-control program to ensure best practice in the sampling and analysis of the drill core. NQ-size drill core is saw cut and half the drill core is sampled in standard intervals not exceeding 1.5 metres in length while core from the main mineralized horizons or core displaying visible gold or significant sulfides are sampled in greater detail generally not exceeding 1 metre in length. The remaining half core is stored in a secure location.
Core samples are transported in security-sealed bags for analyses at ALS Chemex Assay Laboratory, Vancouver, BC. ALS Chemex is an ISO 9001:2000 certified laboratory. Gold assaying is done by a fire assay - atomic absorption spectrometry method on a 30-gram charge of a 1,000 gram pulp. Samples returning values exceeding 3 gpt Au are re-checked by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Pulp and metallics assaying for gold is conducted on the entire pulverized sample for all samples within the main mineralized horizons and those samples with visible gold or significant sulfides.
As part of its QA/QC program, Merc International Minerals Inc. inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples. This is in addition to the standards, blanks and pulp duplicates inserted by ALS Chemex. In addition, samples of pulps have been collected from ten percent of all samples analyzed and will be submitted to a second independent laboratory for comparison purposes.
The Damoti Lake Gold Project is being supervised by William Waychison, M.Sc.A., P.Geo., the Qualified Person (QP) for this project.

Merc Operational Update
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Aug. 18, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) is pleased to provide an overview of its recently completed 2010 Winter Drill Program at its Damoti Lake Gold Project, located 200 km north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Results continue to outline broad zones of near-surface gold mineralization, with associated high-grade cores.
This second phase of drilling, which focused on stepping out along strike from historical work in the Horseshoe Zone and parallel iron formations, achieved remarkable success as 83% of the holes intersected gold mineralization. Between March 19, 2010 and June 5, 2010, Merc completed 42 drillholes for 7,985 meters. Drill results were reported in four news releases: May 18, 2010; June 15, 2010; July 6, 2010; Aug 4, 2010. Zones discovered at Red Mountain by Merc's 2009 drill program were extended, and new high-grade vertically stacked zones were traced over 200 meters north along strike of the host iron formation. For information on Merc's drill program and results, please visit Merc's website www.mercinternational.ca.
Red Mountain Zone
Zones discovered at Red Mountain by Merc's 2009 drill program were extended, new high-grade vertically stacked mineralized zones were traced over 200 meters north along strike, and other new zones discovered at depth. Fifteen holes were collared within the eastern limb of the Red Mountain syncline, located 125 meters west of the Horseshoe Zone. This drilling has intersected the best widths and grades ever reported for Red Mountain, successfully establishing Red Mountain as a new priority target. For example, D10-416B returned a composite grade of 1.64 grams gold per tonne over 151.40 meters, demonstrating the continuity of extensive near-surface mineralization extends to depth. Hole D10-420B, collared 165 meters north of D10-416B, intersected several of its projected zones, including 20 meters of 5.60 grams gold per tonne, with a subinterval of 9.80 grams gold per tonne over 8.5 meters, starting from 20 meters below surface.
In addition, the latest drilling has identified a mineralized corridor linking the high-grade Horseshoe Zone (125 meters to the east of Red Mountain) and coincidental magnetic and induced polarization (IP) anomalies located 250 meters further east of Horseshoe. Merc is presently developing drill targets within this highly prospective and unexplored area.
Northern Extension of Horseshoe Zone
Drilling was successful in extending the near-surface Horseshoe Zone mineralization further to the north intersecting 5.03 grams gold per tonne over 3.5 meters, 14.95 grams gold per tonne over 0.5 meters; 1.0 meter of 14.66 grams gold per tonne, including 0.5 meters of 28.20 grams gold per tonne; and 2.5 meters of 6.56 grams gold per tonne, including 0.5 meters of 22.90 grams gold per tonne. These results demonstrate the ongoing potential of this promising mineralized zone. Additional holes are needed to further evaluate/extend the mineralization northward within the fold limb, an area that remains open.
Other Zones
Two holes were drilled 200 meters southwest of Red Mountain in the nose of a fold, referred to as the Runway Zone, and appear to have intersected the fringe of a mineralized zone (3.5 meters of 3.49 grams gold per tonne, including 12.5 grams gold per tonne over 0.5 meter). Based on these encouraging preliminary results, additional work is required in this new target area as it constitutes another "Horseshoe-like" mineralized fold opportunity.
Drilling also confirmed and expanded the high-grade mineralization previously reported for the BIF Island Zone, located 3.5 kilometers southwest along strike of the Horseshoe Zone. Nineteen holes were drilled in the folded iron formation, which is geological setting similar to the Horseshoe Zone. Holes primarily tested shallow targets to a maximum vertical depth of 150 meters in order to define the extent of the host iron formation and confirm a strong core of gold mineralization conforming to the general plunge of the fold. This has resulted in an enhanced geological model for gold mineralization outlining broad zones of mineralization containing high-grade cores. The limits and expansion opportunities of this mineralized zone will be further evaluated.
Future Exploration Work
Given the relatively shallow nature and good continuity of the gold mineralization at Damoti, Merc will conduct some preliminary evaluations on its potential for an open pit operation. Additional drilling and exploration work will be contingent upon the incorporation of the present drill results into an expanded geological model to assist in target generation and evaluation. Future work is being planned for, but not restricted to, the following areas:
-- The mineralized corridor that extends northwestward through the
Horseshoe and Red Mountain Zones;
-- Northern extensions of the Red Mountain and Horseshoe Zones;
-- The Rangi target area that lies 150 meters east of the Horseshoe Zone
and extends 2.5 km to the south.
Work will also focus on exploring the mineralized Runway fold and the regional unconformity/fault contact between mafic volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks that lies along the western portion of the Damoti claim group. This geological setting of iron formation and regional fault zone is similar to portions of Agnico-Eagle's Meliadine gold deposit, which reportedly contains more than 3 million ounces of gold.

MERC RECEIVES LAND USE PERMITS FOR NWT GOLD PROPERTIES DRILLING TO COMMENCE EARLY MARCH
Feb. 8, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
TORONTO, Feb. 8 /CNW/ - Merc International Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:MRK) ("Merc") announced today that it has received all government permits necessary to begin drilling its recently acquired Treasure Island Gold Project located approximately 230 kilometres north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The permits are valid until 2016 and cover Merc's entire land position within the Indin Lake Gold Camp (approximately 61,000 acres or 25,000 hectares). Merc is currently constructing a drill camp at Treasure Island and estimates it will be operational by late February. Two diamond drills and fuel are currently on site, which will allow the drilling of the gold targets at Treasure Island to begin in early March.
"We are extremely pleased with the milestones we have achieved at Merc over the past two quarters. Over that period we have added exceptional people to our team, focused Merc's efforts on a Northwest Territories regional gold play, and grown our footprint in the region 16 fold from approximately 3,810 acres or 1,287 hectares to a little over 61,000 acres or 25,000 hectares. Merc has methodically increased its number of gold targets via acquisition and staking in areas where there is an abundance of historic data including former mining and drill data from the 1940's, the 1980's, and the 1990's. With our permits in hand, we can now focus on executing an aggressive exploration program with drilling expected to commence within the next 30 days. We look forward to sharing the results," said David Wiley, President and CEO of Merc.
Located 35 kilometres northeast of the Damoti Lake Gold Project, the Treasure Island mineralized corridor represents a high priority target for Merc as it contains the Treasure Island gold deposit as well as several additional gold showings along its 6 kilometre strike length. The main deposit is made up of at least five parallel, mineralized gold zones within a highly altered and silicified 200 metre wide envelope, up to 230 metres in strike with a reported historical grade from 5.2 g/t up to 12.6 g/t. Zones remain open in all dimensions. The style of mineralization is analogous to typical Archean lode gold camps such as Timmins, Red Lake, and Kirkland Lake.
Mineralization similar to Treasure Island's main zone (historical drill intercepts of 34.0 g/t over 1.1 metres and surface trench samples up to 73.2 g/t) has been reported to the east and west highlighting the opportunities available within the corridor.
Additionally, Merc is currently working on advancing its other regional targets towards the drill stage; some of which are described below.
Other High Priority Targets
The North Inca and Diversified Gold Deposits
Both deposits, 1.2 kilometres apart, lie within a 6.5 kilometre shear zone. A shaft was sunk on each with some exploratory lateral development along the mineralized shear. Gold is mainly associated with quartz-carbonate veining parallel to the main shear, while higher grade mineralization is reported over narrow widths in tension fractures. Merc is currently compiling the historical data and building a geological model. Target areas have been identified showing the potential to develop a resource that links the two mines along strike. The mineralization is also open at depth as historical drilling below 300 metres intersected comparable mineralization and grades.
JPK Gold Property
The property lies east of Treasure Island within an iron formation, similar to Merc's Damoti Lake Gold deposit, and the former producing Lupin Gold Mine. Historical surface sampling along a 550 metre section of the iron formation returned assays ranging from 5.0 g/t Au to 15.6 g/t Au. No drilling has been reported for this area, and as such, JPK represents a primary target to be tested in 2011.
Echo-Indin Gold Property
Historical work at Echo-Indin included channel samples from trenches that returned gold values up to 31.5 g/t Au. Thirty-one historical holes were drilled intersecting two quartz stock-work mineralized zones with an average grade of 9.3 g/t Au.
In 1988, re-sampling of five trenches exposed a north trending mineralized zone roughly 100 metres by 30 metres. Assay highlights include channel samples over 1.0 metre returning values up to 7.0 g/t Au with higher grades of 17.4 g/t Au and 11.1 g/t Au over 1.0 metre intervals reported.

Merc Closes $9 Million Private Placement-Appoints Mark Goodman to Board of Directors
Mar. 7, 2011 (Marketwire Canada) --
TORONTO, ONTARIO --
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX VENTURE:MRK) is pleased to announce that it has completed the first tranche representing $9 million of a $9.25 million non-brokered private placement financing and has appointed Mark Goodman to its Board of Directors.
Companies controlled by Ned Goodman subscribed for $3,970,000 of the private placement representing approximately 19% of total shares outstanding, rendering Mr. Goodman Merc's largest shareholder. Other significant participants in the private placement include the Jodamada Foundation, Northfield Capital Corporation, Pinetree Capital Ltd., AlphaNorth Asset Management, Sheldon Inwentash, Pat DiCapo, members of the Goodman family and certain directors of Merc.
The first tranche of the offering comprised 14,400,000 units ("Units") at $0.20 per Unit and 24,480,000 flow-through common shares ("Flow-Through Shares") at $0.25 per Flow-Through Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $9 million. Each Unit consists of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.35 per share for a period of 24 months following the closing date. If Merc's shares trade at or above $0.50 per share for 21 consecutive trading days, Merc may then accelerate the expiration of the Warrants upon not less than 30 days written notice. The private placement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
In connection with this financing, Merc paid aggregate cash finders' fees of $168,750 to CoreCap Inc., a division of GFI Investment Counsel, and PowerOne Capital Markets Limited. The securities issued pursuant to the first tranche of the private placement are subject to a four month hold period expiring on July 8, 2011. The gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used for drilling and exploration of Merc's expanding gold property position in the NWT and surrounding regions. The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used for general corporate purposes.
David Wiley, Merc's President and CEO, stated, "This financing provides shareholders with significant capital to advance Merc's current priority targets and future targets as we continue to grow our asset base in this fertile and historic gold mining camp. As important as the financial strength gained through this offering, is the strong sponsorship acquired, including an impressive and proactive group of seasoned mining investors. We look forward to working jointly with them."
Merc is also pleased to report that Mr. Mark Goodman has joined its Board of Directors. Mr. Goodman has been working in the financial services and mining industry since 1992. He began his career working for Dundee Corporation and has held numerous positions within the organization. In 2005 he founded Cogitore Resources Inc. ("Cogitore"), a base metal exploration company active in Northern Quebec. He has also served as President and CEO of both Valdez Gold and Cogitore and is currently the Executive Chairman of Cogitore. He sits on the Board of Directors of several public and privately held companies including Cogitore, Corona Gold Corp., Ryan Gold Corp., Energy Fuels Inc., Odyssey Resources Inc. and the Dynamic Venture Opportunities Fund (Ontario Labour Sponsored Fund).
Mr. Goodman replaces Mr. John Tait who has stepped down from the Board after serving since Merc's initial public offering.
"On behalf of the Merc Board of Directors we welcome Mark Goodman to the Board and look forward to working closely together as we develop and advance this exciting area play." said John McBride, Merc's Chairman. "We would also like to thank John Tait for his longstanding support and material contribution."

2011-03-09 15:49 ET - News Release
Mr. Sheldon Inwentash reports
INWENTASH ACQUIRES SECURITIES OF MERC INTERNATIONAL MINERALS INC.
Sheldon Inwentash, on March 7, 2011, acquired ownership of 2.6 million common shares and 1.3 million common-share purchase warrants of Merc International Minerals Inc. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share at a price of 35 cents until March 7, 2013.

As a result of this transaction, Mr. Inwentash and his joint actors collectively held, as at March 7, 2011, a total of 6.64 million common shares of Merc, including the common shares and rights to acquire an additional four million common shares of Merc upon the exercise of convertible securities, including the warrants. Of these totals, Mr. Inwentash owns 3,065,000 common shares, including the common shares, and the warrants directly.
In the event that the convertible securities are fully exercised, the holdings of Mr. Inwentash and his joint actors represent a total of 10.64 million common shares of Merc, or approximately 11.9 per cent of all issued and outstanding common shares as at March 7, 2011, calculated on a partially diluted basis assuming the exercise of the convertible securities only. In the event that the warrants are fully exercised, the direct holdings of Mr. Inwentash represent a total of 4,365,000 common shares of Merc, or approximately 5 per cent of all issued and outstanding common shares as at March 7, 2011, calculated on a partially diluted basis assuming the exercise of the warrants only.
These transactions were made for investment purposes, and Mr. Inwentash and each of his joint actors could increase or decrease their respective investments in Merc depending on market conditions or any other relevant factor.

MERC COMMENCED DRILLING ON NWT GOLD PROPERTIES
TORONTO, March 24 /CNW/ - Merc International Minerals Inc. (TSX-V:MRK) ("Merc") announced today that it has commenced a 7,000 metre diamond drill program on its Indin Lake area gold properties located approximately 200 kilometres north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories ("NWT"). Drilling recently began with one rig on the Treasure Island property and a second rig is expected to commence drilling shortly at the Diversified and North Inca deposits.
"Merc's recently consolidated land package, resides within an underexplored structural corridor that historically produced several million ounces of gold," said Merc President and CEO, David Wiley. "After our recent financing Merc is well-funded and affords investors a unique opportunity to participate in a large area gold play containing multiple, prospective targets supported by high-grade historical data within a land package comprising approximately 61,000 acres. The potential compares well to other major regional structures that host gold camps, such as the Destour-Porcupine Fault Zone and Kirkland Larder Lake Break. The combination of high-grade gold mineralization derived from historical data; the fact the mineralization has yet to be tested at depth and along strike; and the untested potential that several more mineralized vein systems may exist within this broad structural corridor is why we believe this is one of Canada's most underexplored gold camps."
Located north-east of the past producing Colomac gold mine, the Treasure Island mineralized corridor represents a priority target for Merc as it contains the Treasure Island gold deposit as well as several additional gold showings along its 6 kilometre strike length. The main deposit is made up of at least five parallel, mineralized gold zones within a highly altered and silicified 200 metre wide envelope, up to 230 metres in strike with a reported historical grade from 5.2 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") up to 12.6 g/t Au. Zones remain open in all dimensions. The style of mineralization is similar to typical Archean lode gold camps such as Timmins, Red Lake, and Kirkland Lake.
Drilling is now in progress on the Treasure Island main deposit targeting sub-vertical stacked gold zones. Mineralization in a quartz feldspar dyke represents the closest gold zone to the main formational contact. All zones run parallel to the mafic volcanic/sedimentary rock contact within this regional deformation zone. Initial drilling will involve one rig (2,000 metres) focused on confirming historical high-grade intercepts, stacked zone morphology, potential for expansion of zones along strike and to depth, and for the discovery of new zones. Mineralization similar to Treasure Island's main zone has been reported to the east and west (historical drill intercepts of 34.0 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, and surface trench samples up to 73.2 g/t Au), highlighting the opportunities available within the corridor.
A second drill has been moved to the Diversified and North Inca deposits and will begin a 5,000 metre drill program within the next week. The two deposits lie along the northern portion of the West Bay - Indin Lake fault corridor, a 200 kilometre long structure that hosts the past producing Giant and Con gold mines (13 million ounce gold production) to the south, and the Colomac gold mine (500,000 ounce gold production), North Inca, and Diversified deposits which lie within its northern extent. Several other notable gold deposits are located within the core of this structure including the Lexindin, Echo Indin, Cass, Kim, and Treasure Island deposits.
The North Inca, Diversified, and Lexindin deposits were discovered and developed in the late nineteen forties and early nineteen fifties and are characterized by numerous high-grade vein systems developed within a 6.5 kilometre portion of the West Bay-Indin Lake Fault (Diversified Mineralized Corridor). Deposits lie within a highly altered shear zone up to 400 metres wide hosting both parallel and extension vein systems open in all dimensions. The last exploration program in the area was in 1988.
In order to maximize Merc's opportunity for drilling strategic lake (ice) setups, the Treasure Island drill will be relocated to the Diversified Mine upon completion of the initial Treasure Island program. Fuel has already been stored at the Diversified site to facilitate the continuation of drilling into late summer.

Merc Staking Program Expands NWT Land Package by 241%
Apr. 26, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
TORONTO, April 26 /CNW/ - Merc International Minerals Inc. (TSXV: MRK) ("Merc") announced today that it has successfully staked an additional 79 mining claims (148,318 acres or 60,022 hectares), achieving another significant milestone in its consolidation of the prolific Indin Lake Gold Camp located in the Northwest Territories. Merc now controls the majority of the prospective Indin Lake Greenstone belt in this historic gold camp with a total ground position now comprising 209,763 acres or 84,888 hectares. The newly staked ground consists of several new gold prospects incremental to Merc's previously reported acquisitions (see news releases January 10, 2011 and January 20, 2011), some of which lie contiguous to the former producing Colomac Gold Mine and host similar geological and deposit characteristics. Merc's land position now includes the Diversified, North Inca, Lexindin, Treasure Island, Damoti Lake, Echo Indin, and Fishhook gold deposits as well as ten additional historic gold showings. Merc is actively drilling the Diversified, North Inca, Lexindin and Treasure Island deposits, and as part of the on-going approximately 7,000 metre drill program, will expand activities to explore its additional deposits in the near future.
The newly staked ground has significantly expanded Merc's gold exploration targets within an area that lies along the West Bay - Indin Lake Fault Zone, a regional structure that extends over 200 km from the shores of Great Slave Lake to areas north of the Indin Lake Belt. This fault zone contains both the Giant and Con gold mines (approximately 13 million ounces of production) to the south and the Colomac Gold Mine (approximately 500,000 ounces production) within its northern extent. Merc believes this structure has played a major role in the development and localization of Indin Lake gold mineralization; much the same role as that of other large regional fault zones, such as the Destor-Porcupine Fault's influence on gold deposit formation within the Timmins Gold Camp. The Indin Lake Greenstone belt remains one of the few under-explored historic gold camps in Canada.

Property Highlights
Fishhook Property
The Fishook property is located 11 kilometres southwest of the Damoti Lake gold deposit. The geological setting is similar to that of the Damoti Lake deposit consisting of folded, sulphidized, banded iron formation within a sedimentary stratigraphy. Gold is reported from twelve separate occurrences within the area, of which a number have been previously drilled. The majority of the holes were laid out to test shallow (less than 100 meters) mineralization. Drill intersection highlights include: 13.6 metres of 6.70 grams gold per tonne, 13.9 metres of 5.02 grams gold per tonne, 6.3 metres of 8.07 grams gold per tonne, 3.0 metres of 13.93 grams gold per tonne, and 1.6 metres of 19.78 grams gold per tonne. Merc is planning a surface mapping and prospecting program this summer and drilling will be contingent upon the results of that work.
Andy Lake Property
The property is located northwest of Damoti Lake and just east of Indin Lake. Historic work was limited to surface sampling of quartz stockwork veins in shear zones between volcanic rocks and granite intrusions where assays up 8.05 grams gold per tonne were reported. No drilling has been conducted in this area. Merc intends to prospect the showing as part of this summer's field program.
West Cass Property
Located at the west end of Indin Lake, the West Cass property lies within the mafic volcanic - sedimentary rock contact zone, a setting similar to the Diversified, North Inca, Lexindin, and Kim gold deposits. Historic surface sampling of quartz veins returned assays up to 5.96 grams gold per tonne, and surface grab samples up to 52.8 grams gold per tonne. Three short holes were previously drilled to test the vein structure with assays as high as 7.80 grams gold per tonne reported. Additional work is planned by Merc in 2011 prior to drilling.
Knob Lake Property
The Knob Lake property is located 5.0 kilometres northeast of the Diversified Mine within a prominent shear zone cutting sedimentary rocks; a setting similar to that described for the Diversified and North Inca gold deposits. Historic sampling was limited to surface grab and channel samples taken from shear hosted quartz carbonate stockwork veins that returned values up to 8.35 grams gold per tonne. Drilling will be contingent upon the results of the 2011 summer work program.

Merc Reports Multiple High-Grade Gold Intercepts, Intersects New Zones at Treasure Island in NWT
May 31, 2011 (Canada NewsWire Group) --
Highlights include intersections for new and extended gold zones:
0.74 g/t Au over 215 metres, including 14.43 g/t Au over 4.0 metres in hole TI11-01B;
0.73 g/t Au over 238.4 metres, including 72.90 g/t Au over 0.87 metres in hole TI11-03B;
12.59 g/t Au over 1.25 metres including 31.1 g/t Au over 0.5 metres in hole TI11-01; and
Gold system extended to 250 metres vertical depth - open at depth and along strike
TORONTO, May 31, 2011 /CNW/ - Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX Venture: MRK) is pleased to report the completion of the first phase of its 2011 drilling program on its Indin Lake greenstone belt projects. Eighteen holes were drilled (4,319 metres) on the Treasure Island, Diversified, and North Inca properties. Visible gold was observed in nine of the initial drill cores. This release reports the results of the first five holes drilled at Treasure Island. All five holes intersected gold mineralization. New zones were discovered near surface and at depth, including several high-grade gold zones. Drilling has established the width of this gold system to over 200 metres, and it remains open along strike and at depth. A historic drill hole intersected similar mineralization over four kilometres to the east at Laurie Lake, indicating the untested potential of this mineralized corridor. Assay results are pending for the thirteen holes completed at Diversified and North Inca.
David Wiley, President and CEO of Merc commented: "We're exceptionally pleased with the results of our exploration efforts on the property. The program met our objectives of confirming historic gold mineralization along a 200 metre strike length, within a zone of up to 200 metres width and to depths of as much as 250 metres. The results from this program coupled with the detailed historical data we have been able to compile for this mineralized system will enable our geologic team, lead by Dr. Michael Byron, to continue to further advance exploration efforts on our approximate 85,000 hectare land package. Drilling is scheduled to resume in June, following the spring break-up."
Treasure Island Results
Drilling at Treasure Island targeted a robust gold system (see assay composite table) of stacked mineralized zones associated with a 200 metre wide envelope of silicification near the volcanic rock-sedimentary rock contact. With these results, Merc accomplished its primary objectives of confirming historic reports of gold along this contact region, testing and extending existing zones in all dimensions, and confirming new zones at depth. Assay highlights include 12.59 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 1.25 metres including 31.1 g/t Au over 0.5 metres from TI11-01 confirming the New South Zone in this area; 14.43 g/t Au over 4.0 metres including 98.60 g/t Au over 0.5 metres from TI11-01B extending the New South Zone an additional 150 metres down dip; 44.95 g/t Au over 1.43 metres, including 72.90 g/t Au over 0.87 metres from TI11-03B representing a new high-grade zone at a vertical depth of 250 metres. Shallow mineralization was intersected by all holes within mafic volcanic rocks immediately north of the Gamble Dyke, a quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke that runs parallel to the volcanic rock - sedimentary rock contact. This new zone was traced for over 150 metres and remains open in all dimensions, representing an additional target opportunity.
Treasure Island, the northern most property in Merc's Indin Lake Gold Camp land package, is located 265 kilometres north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories ("NWT"), and lies within a 6 km mineralized corridor that hosts several high-priority gold showings. The area between the main deposit and the East Zone (600 metres east) remains untested, as does the 4 kilometres that separates Treasure Island from the Laurie Lake showing to the west, which leaves more than 95% of this mineralized corridor yet to be drill tested. Mineralization similar to Treasure Island's Main Zone (historical drill intercepts of 34.0 g/t Au over 1.1 metres and surface trench samples up to 73.2 g/t Au) has been reported to the east and west and highlights the opportunities available within the corridor.
The reported high-grade intersections are continuous for over 150 metres along strike (open) and down dip (open). New high-grade gold zones were also discovered at depth within altered sedimentary rocks, and near surface within the mafic volcanic host rock. Treasure Island represents an exciting new opportunity for Merc as this initial drill program signals the project's potential for advancement towards a near surface bulk mineable prospect as well as a high-grade vein type deposit.

* Lengths are reported as core lengths. True widths are unknown at this time.
Diversified and North Inca Drilling
Merc has completed thirteen core holes to test the targets at the North Inca and Diversified properties. Assay results are pending and will be released expeditiously once they are received.
North Inca Deposit
The North Inca deposit consists of 3 parallel, north striking quartz veins of variable widths. Historical development on the site was limited to vertical depths of less than 100 metres, leaving the deposit open to exploration at depth. Moreover, the en-echelon nature of the vein sets indicates the potential for the deposit to continue along strike as well. Six historic holes were drilled 500 metres north of the North Inca deposit testing quartz veining believed to be the deposit's northern extension. Assay results returned an average grade of 16.20 g/t Au over an average width of 1.4 metres.
Historical mineralization at North Inca includes a 183 metre section of vein within the shaft area that averaged 15.08 g/t Au over 1.5 metres between depths of 48.7 metres to 91.4 metres. Historical surface trenching also returned high-grade mineralization including 25.7 g/t Au over 4 metres.
Diversified Deposit
The Diversified deposit shares similar characteristics to the North Inca deposit and is located approximately 1.2 kilometres to the north. The deposit's "Main Zone" has been traced for 220 metres on both the 54 metre and 145 metre levels, with an average grade of 9.60 g/t Au over 1.67 metres on the 54 metre level, and 17.30 g/t Au over 1.61 metres on the 145 metre level. A historical hole drilled in the vicinity of the shaft area intersected 25.71 g/t Au over 4 metres, attesting to the high-grade nature of the deposit's mineralization.
Summer Exploration
Merc is scheduled to resume its ongoing drill programs at its Diversified and North Inca targets in early June after the spring breakup. At that time an extensive prospecting and mapping program will also be initiated on several other high-priority deposits and mineralized showings within the Indin Lake Gold Camp, including both the Treasure Island and Diversified mineralized corridors.
Merc recently added to its land package (see April 26, 2011 news release at http://www.mercinternational.ca/newsReleases/2011/April26-20… consolidating much of the Indin Lake greenstone belt. Merc currently controls 209,763 acres or 84,888 hectares, ground that contains two historical gold mines with underground workings, several gold deposits, and numerous showings; all lying within kilometres of the former producing Colomac Gold Mine.

Merc Intersects 6.86 g/t Gold Over 26.0 Metres, including 44.34 g/t Gold Over 3.5 Metres at North Inca, NWT
www.mercinternational.ca
Highlights include the following intersections:
6.86 g/t Au over 26.00 metres, including 44.34 g/t Au over 3.45 metres from hole NI11-02;
7.23 g/t Au over 11.75 metres, including 11.38 g/t Au over 7.40 metres from hole DV11-02C; and
1.82 g/t Au over 23.00 metres, including 2.21 g/t Au over 6.00 metres from hole NI11-01
TORONTO, June 15, 2011 /CNW/ - Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX Venture: MRK) announced today the results from the final 12 holes of the recently completed 2011 Phase I drill program at its Treasure Island, North Inca, and Diversified gold projects. Of the 17 holes drilled (4,319 metres total) on the three Indin Lake greenstone belt properties, visible gold was reported in 11 of the holes and all holes intersected gold mineralization.
Merc President and CEO, David Wiley, commented, "We believe that these results are further evidence that a high-grade gold system is present within Merc's expansive Indin Lake land position. The Phase I program has validated our approach to exploring the Indin Lake greenstone belt and far exceeded our expectations. We are finding that the widths associated with our gold intercepts are much more substantial than what the historical data had led us to believe. Furthermore, the zones tested to date continue to be open in all directions. The Phase II program will focus on extending and potentially connecting the deposits along strike, which will enable us to begin defining one or multiple ore bodies."
North Inca and Diversified Results
Merc drilled five holes at its North Inca project and assay highlights include 6.86 gram per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 26.0 metres, including 44.34 g/t Au over 3.45 metres from drill hole NI11-02; 1.60 g/t Au over 19.85 metres, including 5.26 g/t Au over 3.15 metres from drill hole NI11-01B; 1.82 g/t Au over 23.00 metres, including 8.98 g/t Au over 1.51 metres from drill hole NI11-01; and 7.18 g/t Au over 2.50 metres from drill hole NI11-02C. These results confirm the high-grade nature of the North Inca mineralization while demonstrating, for the first time, the substantial widths of the gold zones.
Merc drilled seven holes at its Diversified project and assay highlights include 7.23g/t Au over 11.75 metres, including 11.38 g/t Au over 7.40 metres from drill hole DV11-02C; 8.64 g/t Au over 1.95 metres from drill hole DV11-02; 3.25 g/t Au over 7.79 metres from drill hole DV11-01; and 9.33 g/t Au over 1.17 metres from drill hole DV11-03. These results extend the high-grade mineralization to new depths and confirm the potential for significant zone widths.

Merc recently reported on the results of the five Treasure Island drill holes, all of which intersected gold mineralization, while collectively defining a 200 metre wide mineralized corridor open at depth and extending for a projected strike length upwards of six kilometres (see May 31, 2011 news release at http://www.mercinternational.ca/newsReleases/2011/MAY31-2011…
Merc has resumed its ongoing drill programs at Diversified and North Inca, kicking off Phase II in early June. Soon the drilling will begin testing the area between the North Inca and Diversified deposits. Merc believes significant opportunities exist within the 500 metre wide mineralized structure that runs between and beyond North Inca to the south and Lexindin to the north, a distance of 2.5 kilometres. Additional historical gold showings along the Leta Arm Fault Zone extend the target area to an excess of six kilometres. An extensive prospecting and mapping program on several other high-priority deposits and mineralized showings within the Indin Lake gold project was also initiated in early June, including both the Treasure Island and Leta Arm Fault Zone.
About the Diversified Corridor
The Diversified Corridor lies 210 kilometres north of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, along the northern extension of the West Bay - Indin Lake Fault Zone (WBILFZ); a major regional structure hosting the former producing Giant and Con Gold mines to the south (13 million ounces of historic gold production). The Leta Arm Fault Zone, a 500 metre wide structural corridor within the northern extension of the WBILFZ, transects the central portion of the Indin Lake Belt, hosting four historic gold deposits (Diversified, North Inca, Lexindin, Number 3), as well as several gold showings.
Exploration shafts and limited underground development were completed on the North Inca and Diversified deposits in the 1940's to explore multi-stage quartz veins characterized by high-grade gold mineralization. The Diversified deposit lies 1.3 kilometres north of North Inca with the Number 3 deposit lying between them and the Lexindin deposit an additional1.2 kilometres north of the Diversified. All deposits are open laterally and vertically suggesting the possibility that they are part of a single large system.
North Inca Deposit
North Inca consists of at least 3 parallel north striking silicified zones of variable widths. Historical development was limited to vertical depths of less than 100 metres, leaving the deposit open to exploration at depth. Moreover, the en-echelon nature of the vein sets indicates the potential for the deposit to continue along strike. Phase I drilling was designed to test the East Zone, the eastern most mineralized zone within host metasedimentary units. Five holes were drilled from three lake setups to validate the limited historical data, expand zones to depth, and test for new zones laterally. Results to date are encouraging as several high-grade intersections are reported, with zone widths much wider than previously recognized. Phase II drilling is currently in progress testing two near surface mineral zones located 150 metres west of the East Zone within host metavolcanic rocks. North Inca remains a prime target, and one that Merc believes has the grade and widths to warrant a continued and rapid ongoing exploration program.
Diversified Deposit
The Diversified deposit shares similar characteristics to the North Inca deposit. The deposit's "Main Zone", which lies within metasedimentary rocks, has been traced for 220 metres based upon historical drilling and underground development. Merc's Phase I drilling has confirmed the high-grade nature of the deposit's mineralization, defined zone widths that significantly exceed those previously reported, and extended the high-grade mineralization to new depths. All mineralized zones remain open laterally and to depth.
Lexindin Deposit
The Lexindin Deposit is located approximately 1.2 kilometres north of the Diversified shaft. Tensional, en-echelon, quartz veins lying obliquely to branches of the main shear zone make up the mineralized zones at Lexindin. Veins dip steeply north within the 40 metre to 60 metre wide shear zone and open-up laterally with increased depth. Exploration drilling has been limited to less than 150 metres vertical depth with historical intersections of 113.80 g/t Au over 3.05 metres, 18.85 g/t Au over 1.53 metres, and 22.97 g/t Au over 2.37 metres. Initial drilling at Lexindin will be part of our Phase II program with the goal of establishing mineralized continuity between the various deposits within the Leta Arm Fault Zone.
Merc Intersects 6.86 g/t Gold Over 26.0 Metres, including 44.34 g/t Gold Over 3.5 Metres at North Inca, NWT
www.mercinternational.ca
Highlights include the following intersections:
6.86 g/t Au over 26.00 metres, including 44.34 g/t Au over 3.45 metres from hole NI11-02;
7.23 g/t Au over 11.75 metres, including 11.38 g/t Au over 7.40 metres from hole DV11-02C; and
1.82 g/t Au over 23.00 metres, including 2.21 g/t Au over 6.00 metres from hole NI11-01
TORONTO, June 15, 2011 /CNW/ - Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX Venture: MRK) announced today the results from the final 12 holes of the recently completed 2011 Phase I drill program at its Treasure Island, North Inca, and Diversified gold projects. Of the 17 holes drilled (4,319 metres total) on the three Indin Lake greenstone belt properties, visible gold was reported in 11 of the holes and all holes intersected gold mineralization.
Merc President and CEO, David Wiley, commented, "We believe that these results are further evidence that a high-grade gold system is present within Merc's expansive Indin Lake land position. The Phase I program has validated our approach to exploring the Indin Lake greenstone belt and far exceeded our expectations. We are finding that the widths associated with our gold intercepts are much more substantial than what the historical data had led us to believe. Furthermore, the zones tested to date continue to be open in all directions. The Phase II program will focus on extending and potentially connecting the deposits along strike, which will enable us to begin defining one or multiple ore bodies."
North Inca and Diversified Results
Merc drilled five holes at its North Inca project and assay highlights include 6.86 gram per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 26.0 metres, including 44.34 g/t Au over 3.45 metres from drill hole NI11-02; 1.60 g/t Au over 19.85 metres, including 5.26 g/t Au over 3.15 metres from drill hole NI11-01B; 1.82 g/t Au over 23.00 metres, including 8.98 g/t Au over 1.51 metres from drill hole NI11-01; and 7.18 g/t Au over 2.50 metres from drill hole NI11-02C. These results confirm the high-grade nature of the North Inca mineralization while demonstrating, for the first time, the substantial widths of the gold zones.
Merc drilled seven holes at its Diversified project and assay highlights include 7.23g/t Au over 11.75 metres, including 11.38 g/t Au over 7.40 metres from drill hole DV11-02C; 8.64 g/t Au over 1.95 metres from drill hole DV11-02; 3.25 g/t Au over 7.79 metres from drill hole DV11-01; and 9.33 g/t Au over 1.17 metres from drill hole DV11-03. These results extend the high-grade mineralization to new depths and confirm the potential for significant zone widths.

Merc Step-Out Drilling Intersects High-Grade Gold Mineralization Over Broad Zones at Both the North Inca and Diversified Deposits
9/6/2011 7:00 AM - Canada NewsWire
TORONTO, Sep. 6, 2011, 2011 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) --
www.mercinternational.ca
-Intersects 6.08 g/t Au over 16.90 metres, including 22.07 g/t Au over 3.44 metres-
Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX Venture: MRK) announces drill results for ten of the twenty-six holes from its Phase II summer drill program at its Indin Lake Gold Project in the Northwest Territories. Merc continued to encounter gold mineralization by drilling 150 metres to the west of the North Inca Deposit East Zone and stepping-out up to 450 metres south of the Diversified Deposit. Highlights from the drill results on these areas include:
-- 6.08 g/t Au over 16.90 metres, including 22.07 g/t Au over 3.44
metres from hole NI11-04;
-- 4.20 g/t Au over 16.50 metres, including 15.72 g/t Au over 2.00
metres from hole NI11-04B;
-- 16.36 g/t Au over 4.81 metres, including 122.50 g/t Au over
0.50 metres from hole NI11-04C;
-- 9.25 g/t Au over 3.73 metres, including 49.60 g/t Au over 0.67
metres from hole NI11-05C; and
-- 14.03 g/t Au over 3.20 metres, including 40.90 g/t Au over 0.50
metres from hole DV11-04B
Merc President and CEO, David Wiley, commented, "These drill results move Merc one step closer to being able to define an ore body within a mineralized corridor spanning at least 10 kilometres. We have stepped out a considerable distance from the Phase I collars and intersected new zones containing parallel veins of substantial widths to previously known mineralization. Furthermore, the intersection of mineralization at the historical #3 Deposit advances Merc's belief that the Diversified and North Inca Deposits are part of the same structure and are connected along strike. In the coming weeks, we will continue to report additional drill assays as they are received while our technical team works to update geological models and interpret the results."
Merc's Phase II summer drill program consisted of twenty six drill holes (7,610 metres). Today's reported assay results are for ten of the twenty-six holes with results pending for the remaining holes. Sixteen holes were drilled at North Inca (4,898 metres) with eight containing intersections of visible gold, while three of the nine holes completed at Diversified (2,475 metres) contained visible gold. Results are also pending for a single hole drilled at Lexindin (237 metres), a historically defined near surface deposit located 1.1 kilometres north of Diversified.
Drilling tested a strike length of approximately 2.4 kilometres along the Leta Arm Fault Corridor covering four historic gold deposits for which new zones were discovered and historical zones extended along strike and to depth (see Figure 1. below). The recent drilling targeted a series of en-echelon quartz veins and mineralized zones. Both the North Inca and Diversified properties lie within the Leta Arm Fault Corridor (previously referred to as the Diversified Corridor), a 500 metre wide deformation zone that locally parallels this main lithological contact. This structure regionally transects the entire Indin Lake Gold Camp, which hosts numerous gold deposits and showings.

North Inca Deposit
North Inca consists of several parallel north striking silicified zones of variable widths hosted by metavolcanic rocks. Historical (1940's) development was limited to shallow vertical depths, leaving the deposit open at depth. The en-echelon nature of the vein sets indicates the deposit's potential to continue along strike. Winter (Phase I) drilling tested the eastern most mineralized zone (East Zone) situated within metasediments. Five holes drilled from three lake setups returned several high-grade intersections with zone widths much wider than previously recognized (see June 15, 2011 news release). Phase II drilling targeted near surface mineralization within metavolcanic rock located 150 metres west (West Zone) of the East Zone. Step out holes were successful in extending known mineralized zones laterally and to depth. The holes confirm the high-grade nature of the mineralization and expand the widths of the mineralized zones. In addition, new zones were intersected and known zones extended to depths in excess of 100 metres. Visible gold was observed in the most northerly step out hole, NI11-10, (assays pending) extending the North Inca mineralized structure over 250 metres northward. North Inca continues to deliver encouraging results while remaining open in all directions. Drilling to date has confirmed its high-grade nature, significant mineralized widths, and the potential to deliver new zones along strike and merge with the #3 and Diversified Deposits.
Sectional drilling targeted two near surface vein systems within the West Zone. NI11-04, NI11-04B, and NI11-04C intersected the intended targets and discovered a third new zone 28 metres further west. NI11-04 intersections for the three zones are 22.07 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 3.44 metres, including 103.50 g/t Au over 0.50 metres; 3.97 g/t Au over 6.50 metres, including 31.70 g/t Au over 0.5 metres; and 0.96 g/t Au over 16.50 metres, including 3.96 g/t Au over 1.50 metres. NI11-04B (steeper cut) intersected all three zones with the two upper zones appearing to coalesce into a single broad feature running 2.29 g/t Au over 37.00 metres including 15.72 g/t Au over 2.00 metres. The new lower zone returned 5.31g/t Au over 6.44 metres, including 45.10 g/t Au over 0.50 metres. The steepest hole on the section (NI11-04C) intersected one narrower zone of 16.36 g/t Au over 4.81 metres, including 122.50 g/t Au over 0.50 metres and 26.90 g/t Au over 0.50 metres.
Sectional holes NI11-05, NI11-05B, and NI11-05C drilled 40 metres south of NI11-04, intersected the projected extension of the mineralized zones. Although all three holes intersected their intended targets, assay results are variable. NI11-05C, the steepest hole, returned positive results of 9.25 g/t Au over 3.73 metres, including 49.60 g/t Au over 0.67 metres. To date, mineralization has been drilled to a vertical depth of 150 metres and remains open to the south beneath Indin Lake. Geological models are currently being updated and resulting interpretations forthcoming.
Initial drilling of the North Inca West Zone has been positive. High-grade gold mineralization was intersected over significant widths (22.07 g/t Au over 3.44 metres, 15.72 g/t Au over 2.00 metres, 16.36 g/t Au over 4.81 metres, and 9.25 g/t Au over 3.73 metres). These results are a clear indication of the potential this property has to host a gold deposit.
#3 Deposit
The #3 Deposit lies along the Leta Arm Fault Corridor 450 metres south of the Diversified shaft and 800 metres north of the North Inca East Zone. Merc believes the three metasediment-hosted gold deposits are part of the same mineralized structure as they have similar gold grades, mineralized widths, and general morphology, and when viewed in longitudinal section, share the same orientation.
Six sectional holes were drilled at 40 metre centres in Phase II of which two are being reported (results are pending for the remaining four). DV11-04 and DV11-04B tested the downward extension of the #3 deposit, a near surface prospect defined in the 1940's by overburden trenching and limited diamond drilling to a vertical depth of 50 metres. DV11-04B returned a intersection assaying 14.03 g/t Au over 3.20 metres, including 40.00 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, believed to represent the extension of the #3 Deposit at a vertical depth of approximately 200 metres. To follow-up, two holes were drilled at the end of the current program to test the near surface portion of the deposit. DV11-09 and DV11-09B cut the mineralization at a shallow downhole depth with several grains of visible gold reported in both holes. Assay results are pending but are expected to confirm the continuity of mineralization for over 200 metres in depth. This represents a material advancement and significant expansion of this deposit and reaffirms the huge potential present within the Leta Arm Fault Corridor.
Diversified Deposit
The deposit's "Main Zone", which lies within metasedimentary rocks, has been traced for 220 metres based upon historical drilling and underground development. Merc's Phase I drilling confirmed the high grade nature of the deposit's mineralization, defined zone widths that significantly exceed those previously reported, and extended high grade mineralization to new depths.
In Phase II two sectional holes were drilled 120 metres south of previous Phase I drilling. The step-out holes successfully intersected the projected mineralized horizons returning moderate assay results. DV11-05B (steeper hole) cut a 1.0 metre section that assayed 4.35 g/t Au at approximately 100 metres vertical depth. All mineralized zones continue to remain open laterally and to depth.

-Intersects 6.08 g/t Au over 16.90 metres, including 22.07 g/t Au over 3.44 metres-
Merc International Minerals Inc. ("Merc") (TSX Venture: MRK) announces drill results for ten of the twenty-six holes from its Phase II summer drill program at its Indin Lake Gold Project in the Northwest Territories. Merc continued to encounter gold mineralization by drilling 150 metres to the west of the North Inca Deposit East Zone and stepping-out up to 450 metres south of the Diversified Deposit. Highlights from the drill results on these areas include:
-- 6.08 g/t Au over 16.90 metres, including 22.07 g/t Au over 3.44
metres from hole NI11-04;
-- 4.20 g/t Au over 16.50 metres, including 15.72 g/t Au over 2.00
metres from hole NI11-04B;
-- 16.36 g/t Au over 4.81 metres, including 122.50 g/t Au over
0.50 metres from hole NI11-04C;
-- 9.25 g/t Au over 3.73 metres, including 49.60 g/t Au over 0.67
metres from hole NI11-05C; and
-- 14.03 g/t Au over 3.20 metres, including 40.90 g/t Au over 0.50
metres from hole DV11-04B
Merc President and CEO, David Wiley, commented, "These drill results move Merc one step closer to being able to define an ore body within a mineralized corridor spanning at least 10 kilometres. We have stepped out a considerable distance from the Phase I collars and intersected new zones containing parallel veins of substantial widths to previously known mineralization. Furthermore, the intersection of mineralization at the historical #3 Deposit advances Merc's belief that the Diversified and North Inca Deposits are part of the same structure and are connected along strike. In the coming weeks, we will continue to report additional drill assays as they are received while our technical team works to update geological models and interpret the results."
Merc's Phase II summer drill program consisted of twenty six drill holes (7,610 metres). Today's reported assay results are for ten of the twenty-six holes with results pending for the remaining holes. Sixteen holes were drilled at North Inca (4,898 metres) with eight containing intersections of visible gold, while three of the nine holes completed at Diversified (2,475 metres) contained visible gold. Results are also pending for a single hole drilled at Lexindin (237 metres), a historically defined near surface deposit located 1.1 kilometres north of Diversified.
Drilling tested a strike length of approximately 2.4 kilometres along the Leta Arm Fault Corridor covering four historic gold deposits for which new zones were discovered and historical zones extended along strike and to depth (see Figure 1. below). The recent drilling targeted a series of en-echelon quartz veins and mineralized zones. Both the North Inca and Diversified properties lie within the Leta Arm Fault Corridor (previously referred to as the Diversified Corridor), a 500 metre wide deformation zone that locally parallels this main lithological contact. This structure regionally transects the entire Indin Lake Gold Camp, which hosts numerous gold deposits and showings.

North Inca Deposit
North Inca consists of several parallel north striking silicified zones of variable widths hosted by metavolcanic rocks. Historical (1940's) development was limited to shallow vertical depths, leaving the deposit open at depth. The en-echelon nature of the vein sets indicates the deposit's potential to continue along strike. Winter (Phase I) drilling tested the eastern most mineralized zone (East Zone) situated within metasediments. Five holes drilled from three lake setups returned several high-grade intersections with zone widths much wider than previously recognized (see June 15, 2011 news release). Phase II drilling targeted near surface mineralization within metavolcanic rock located 150 metres west (West Zone) of the East Zone. Step out holes were successful in extending known mineralized zones laterally and to depth. The holes confirm the high-grade nature of the mineralization and expand the widths of the mineralized zones. In addition, new zones were intersected and known zones extended to depths in excess of 100 metres. Visible gold was observed in the most northerly step out hole, NI11-10, (assays pending) extending the North Inca mineralized structure over 250 metres northward. North Inca continues to deliver encouraging results while remaining open in all directions. Drilling to date has confirmed its high-grade nature, significant mineralized widths, and the potential to deliver new zones along strike and merge with the #3 and Diversified Deposits.
Sectional drilling targeted two near surface vein systems within the West Zone. NI11-04, NI11-04B, and NI11-04C intersected the intended targets and discovered a third new zone 28 metres further west. NI11-04 intersections for the three zones are 22.07 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") over 3.44 metres, including 103.50 g/t Au over 0.50 metres; 3.97 g/t Au over 6.50 metres, including 31.70 g/t Au over 0.5 metres; and 0.96 g/t Au over 16.50 metres, including 3.96 g/t Au over 1.50 metres. NI11-04B (steeper cut) intersected all three zones with the two upper zones appearing to coalesce into a single broad feature running 2.29 g/t Au over 37.00 metres including 15.72 g/t Au over 2.00 metres. The new lower zone returned 5.31g/t Au over 6.44 metres, including 45.10 g/t Au over 0.50 metres. The steepest hole on the section (NI11-04C) intersected one narrower zone of 16.36 g/t Au over 4.81 metres, including 122.50 g/t Au over 0.50 metres and 26.90 g/t Au over 0.50 metres.
Sectional holes NI11-05, NI11-05B, and NI11-05C drilled 40 metres south of NI11-04, intersected the projected extension of the mineralized zones. Although all three holes intersected their intended targets, assay results are variable. NI11-05C, the steepest hole, returned positive results of 9.25 g/t Au over 3.73 metres, including 49.60 g/t Au over 0.67 metres. To date, mineralization has been drilled to a vertical depth of 150 metres and remains open to the south beneath Indin Lake. Geological models are currently being updated and resulting interpretations forthcoming.
Initial drilling of the North Inca West Zone has been positive. High-grade gold mineralization was intersected over significant widths (22.07 g/t Au over 3.44 metres, 15.72 g/t Au over 2.00 metres, 16.36 g/t Au over 4.81 metres, and 9.25 g/t Au over 3.73 metres). These results are a clear indication of the potential this property has to host a gold deposit.
#3 Deposit
The #3 Deposit lies along the Leta Arm Fault Corridor 450 metres south of the Diversified shaft and 800 metres north of the North Inca East Zone. Merc believes the three metasediment-hosted gold deposits are part of the same mineralized structure as they have similar gold grades, mineralized widths, and general morphology, and when viewed in longitudinal section, share the same orientation.
Six sectional holes were drilled at 40 metre centres in Phase II of which two are being reported (results are pending for the remaining four). DV11-04 and DV11-04B tested the downward extension of the #3 deposit, a near surface prospect defined in the 1940's by overburden trenching and limited diamond drilling to a vertical depth of 50 metres. DV11-04B returned a intersection assaying 14.03 g/t Au over 3.20 metres, including 40.00 g/t Au over 0.50 metres, believed to represent the extension of the #3 Deposit at a vertical depth of approximately 200 metres. To follow-up, two holes were drilled at the end of the current program to test the near surface portion of the deposit. DV11-09 and DV11-09B cut the mineralization at a shallow downhole depth with several grains of visible gold reported in both holes. Assay results are pending but are expected to confirm the continuity of mineralization for over 200 metres in depth. This represents a material advancement and significant expansion of this deposit and reaffirms the huge potential present within the Leta Arm Fault Corridor.
Diversified Deposit
The deposit's "Main Zone", which lies within metasedimentary rocks, has been traced for 220 metres based upon historical drilling and underground development. Merc's Phase I drilling confirmed the high grade nature of the deposit's mineralization, defined zone widths that significantly exceed those previously reported, and extended high grade mineralization to new depths.
In Phase II two sectional holes were drilled 120 metres south of previous Phase I drilling. The step-out holes successfully intersected the projected mineralized horizons returning moderate assay results. DV11-05B (steeper hole) cut a 1.0 metre section that assayed 4.35 g/t Au at approximately 100 metres vertical depth. All mineralized zones continue to remain open laterally and to depth.
