At first glance, iMetal Resources was just gearing
up to explore its wholly-owned Gowganda West Project. The prospective property is located less
than 1.3 km south of Tahoe Resources’ 4 million ounce Juby gold deposit (1.1 million ounces
Measured & Indicated, 2.9 million oz. Inferred), 20 km WSW of Gowganda Ontario, and 90 km
SW of Kirkland Lake Ontario.
• After a season of extensive prospecting and fieldwork, the project has become even more
compelling. So much so, in fact, iMetal increased its land position five fold: from 20 km2
to 105
km2
.
• Historically, the property has seen almost no exploration - mainly because it’s covered by glacial
overburden as well as meta-sediments as opposed to the easier to prospect meta-volcanics
(greenstones). However, “windows” within these meta-sediments and late-stage intrusions
cutting through them prove that gold, silver, copper and even cobalt are present.
• This past year, IMR has identified and sampled a number of these “windows” on its property. Grab
sample results assayed as high as 56.59 g/t gold, 15 g/t silver, and 2.6% copper. What is
particularly interesting is that two of these “windows” lie 5 km apart along a common structural
trend and the associated mineralization may be part of a larger system just beneath the surface.
Further exploration, as well as geophysics and a drill program may provide the market with some
exciting results

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Exploration History Extensive soil geochemistry, trenching, pitting and drilling activities were done by Anglo American Zimbabwe Ltd.
The data is proprietary
and is not available to the current holders of the claims at the moment.
The huge open cast Motapa mine, Isabella mine, McCays mines and Bubi mine have been mined by Anglo American .
Artisanal miners have been active in the area since the closing down of Motapa Mine.
Exploration activities near the When gold claims led to the discovery of Open pittable resources.
Other Historical
Records
Big mines around the area are:
Turk Mine,
Lonely,
Dawn,
Isabella Mine incorporating When ,McCays & Bubi mines. Anglo American has the historical production records. The
mines have excellent production records. Turk and Lonely mines are still operating but they are underground
operations.
Surface activities Sampling was done and the rock samples were taken to the following laboratories:-
Zimbabwe School of Mines (ZSM) and;
Duration gold mine laboratory

8. Project Name : When North Gold Project, Zimbabwe
The project is a potential heap leach operation. The nearby Motapa and Isabella mines are heap leach operations.
The project presents an excellent exploration and development opportunity.
Potential for a multi-million once deposit.
The project can be expanded by obtaining and merging more claims in the area then consolidate them into one big
project. There are some individuals who are willing to relinquish their gold claims upon getting some payment (See
the diagrams on Upside potential below).
Large gold mining operations such as the Motapa and Isabella mines are less than 10 km away from When Gold
claims.
Drilling is required in order to define mineralisation.
Artisanal mining has indicated the presence of mineralisation. However, technical exploration will unearth the full
potential of the area.
It is located in a geologically good environment. Artisanal miners are found in the area and this is a good indication of
potential.
The area in which the project lies is a well known gold producing area in Zimbabwe. Successful open cast mining
operations have been carried out by renowned companies such as Anglo American Zimbabwe (Pvt) Ltd.
Like any project, due diligence is required. A field visit is required.
Arrangements to purchase any available data relating to the When Gold claims (from Anglo American) must be made.
An preliminary budget is attached herewith.
Recommended exploration activities will include Geochemical and Geophysical methods.
Trenching, diamond drilling/or RC or Percussion drilling will need to be done so that a geological model of the
Project can be produced. This will aid the planning of any subsequent exploration programs or the development
of the project into a producing mine.
Data Source Source Project owners
Deal Terms The owners of the project are seeking for Joint Venture partners in order to explore and develop the project into a
producing mine.
The project requires an investment in the region of R 3 707 815.00 (which can be rounded off to approximately
US$4 million).
