Margaret Lake Diamonds Inc. - Sept 2016Stacey Wallin
Margaret Lake Diamonds Inc. owns a diamond exploration property located 10km north of De Beers and Mountain Province Diamonds' new Gahcho Kué diamond mine in Canada's Northwest Territories. The property was flown with advanced geophysical techniques identifying 12 high-priority drill targets, including the top target ML006. Inversion modeling of geophysical data on ML006 revealed a well-defined gravity anomaly indicating a potential kimberlite body. Subject to permitting and financing, the company plans to drill 11 underwater targets during optimal ice conditions in March/April 2017 to test for kimberlite and diamonds.
The Sun is the largest object in the solar system, with a mass over 300,000 times that of Earth. Its core reaches temperatures high enough to power nuclear fusion, releasing huge amounts of energy that radiate out into space. Mercury is the hottest planet as it is closest to the Sun. Venus is similar in size to Earth. Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons.
There are three types of volcanoes: active volcanoes that have erupted recently and may erupt again, dormant volcanoes that are currently inactive but could erupt in the future, and extinct volcanoes that will not erupt again. Examples of active volcanoes discussed are Kilauea in Hawaii, the most active volcano in the world, and Arenal in Costa Rica. Mount Fuji in Japan is currently dormant. Anatahan was thought to be extinct but erupted in 2003. Vesuvius in Italy is extinct but had a devastating eruption in the past that buried the city of Pompeii under ash.
Volcanoes are mountains with deep holes that go into the Earth. There are three types of volcanoes: active volcanoes that can erupt, dormant volcanoes that are currently sleeping, and extinct volcanoes that cannot erupt again. Examples provided are Kilauea as the most active volcano in Hawaii, Mount Fuji in Japan being dormant, and Anatahan being an extinct volcano in the Pacific Ocean. Underwater volcanoes can form islands as they erupt, such as the Galapagos Islands near Ecuador which were formed underwater and include 13 big islands and 6 smaller islands, with some still experiencing eruptions. Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted in 1815 killing over 3,600 people and
The Paricutin volcano in Mexico erupted unexpectedly in 1943 in a cornfield, growing rapidly over the following years into a cinder cone volcano over 400 feet tall. The eruption destroyed over 10 miles of land and forced over 7,000 people to relocate as lava flowed up to 2.8 miles. While causing significant damage, the rare opportunity to observe a volcano's formation from the beginning allowed scientists to study its entire life cycle. The dormant volcano is now a tourist attraction and one of Mexico's seven natural wonders.
Volcanoes form due to tectonic plate movement and hot spots under the Earth's surface. There are different types of volcanoes that can erupt in either explosive or calm fashions depending on the viscosity of the magma. Famous volcanoes include Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii, Mount St. Helens, and volcanoes in Hawaii.

The document summarizes information about volcanoes from a student presentation. It describes what volcanoes are, the main types of volcanoes (shield and composite), how they erupt, and the effects of volcanic eruptions on weather. It also provides instructions for a school project to build a model volcano using common household materials like baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring.
The document summarizes a volcano eruption. Magma builds up pressure under the soil until it erupts through the surface, expelling lava, rocks, ashes, and eruption clouds. The story then allows the reader to go back in time to prevent the eruption by destroying trees covering the volcano with rocks, following the given instructions.
This document provides instructions for making a homemade volcano. The materials needed include cardboard, newspaper, paper mache glue, paint, vinegar, a plastic drinks bottle, a funnel, measuring jug, and baking soda. The instructions are to glue the bottle to a cardboard base, make paper mache strips to build up the volcano shape around the bottle, paint and decorate the volcano, then add vinegar, food dye, baking soda, and detergent to the bottle to create an eruption.
Volcanoes are mountains that sometimes erupt, shooting gas, ash, and burning rock. Inside volcanoes is a deep hole containing hot magma that can push to the surface, forming a crater and flowing as lava. Different types of volcanoes include active volcanoes that can still erupt, dormant volcanoes that are currently sleeping, and extinct volcanoes that cannot erupt again. Some examples of active volcanoes are Kilauea in Hawaii and Arenal in Costa Rica, while Mount Fuji is currently dormant. The eruption of Vesuvius in Italy buried the city of Pompeii under ash.
This document provides information about volcanoes. It defines volcanoes as openings in the Earth's surface that allow magma, ash, and gases to escape during eruptions. It notes they are usually located at tectonic plate boundaries, especially around the Pacific Ring of Fire. The document describes how magma rises through the volcano's vent and turns to lava before erupting. It lists some facts about volcanoes and provides a diagram of a volcano's structure. It also discusses impacts of volcanoes on people and the environment, both positive and negative, as well as strategies for preparing for a volcanic eruption.
This document provides examples of using the present simple tense with the phrase "like + -ing" to express preferences in affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences. It shows how to construct sentences talking about what single people, groups of people, and others like or don't like doing by using common verbs paired with -ing words. Responses affirming or denying likes are also demonstrated for interrogative examples.
Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust that allow magma, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. There are three types of volcanoes: active, dormant, and extinct. Magma is molten rock underground, while lava is magma that flows out of a volcano. Ash, cinders, and pumice are other materials emitted from volcanoes. Over half of the world's volcanoes are located on the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. Volcanic eruptions are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, which squeezes magma up in between. Eruptions can endanger people through lava, tsunamis, earthquakes, and toxic gases

Volcanoes form when magma rises from below the Earth's surface and erupts through openings called vents. As magma accumulates at the vent it builds up a mountain-like structure called a volcano. There are three main types of volcanoes defined by their shape and eruption characteristics: shield volcanoes which have broad bases and gentle slopes formed by fluid basaltic lava flows; cinder cone volcanoes which are steep-sided with a small base formed from explosive eruptions of thick sticky lava; and composite or stratovolcanoes which are large mountains formed by alternating explosive and effusive eruptions that build tall layers of ash and lava.
1. Volcanoes form when pressure and heat deep underground causes rock to melt and form magma.
2. The magma pushes upward through the crust until it reaches the surface in an explosive volcanic eruption.
3. During an eruption, magma and rock are violently ejected from the volcano, building up the volcanic features on the surface over time.

Arrowstar Resources is raising capital through a private placement to fund a 10-hole diamond drill program at its Secret Pass Gold Project in Arizona. The goals are to validate historic resource calculations and evaluate feasibility study and mine development options. The project has seen significant past exploration including drilling and contains historic estimates of over 1 million tonnes grading around 2.5 g/t gold, though these are not compliant with current standards. Arrowstar plans to incorporate new drilling data into its models to define next steps toward feasibility studies and potential production.
Gold/silver exploration is being conducted in the prolific mining states of Durango and Zacatecas in Mexico. Three properties, Catrina, Pedernal, and Escondida, show potential for open pit and underground exploration based on soil and trench sampling that has identified gold and silver anomalies. Recent drilling at Catrina intersected indicator minerals associated with the upper levels of an epithermal system. At Pedernal, drilling demonstrated continuity of vein structures at depth and along strike, indicating a mineralized epithermal system is present. Further exploration is planned for 2012 to test additional targets across the three properties.
Scientific Metals Corp. is focused on acquiring and developing cobalt and lithium deposits critical for batteries. Their key assets include cobalt projects in Idaho with historic resources grading over 0.6% cobalt, and lithium brine properties in Utah and Alberta with brine samples up to 1700 ppm lithium.

In the Heart of Major Gold-Copper Mining & Development ProjectsStephan Bogner
With today‘s spot price of $1,730 USD, gold has appreciated by 19% since December and needs to rise another 12% to break above its previous all-time high of $1,923 USD, which was marked 9 years ago in 2011. Even more impressively, the gold price in Canadian dollars (CAD) has appreciated by about 25% since December and has been trading above its 2011-high for 9 months already. Last at $2,405 CAD, an ounce of gold in Canada is now worth 33% more than at its peak in 2011. As such, some senior and junior gold stocks have been performing well recently, especially those with active projects in Canada. One of them is IMC International Mining Corp., whose share price has increased by about 160% since December.
This document provides information about Ontario's Ring of Fire mineral deposit. It begins by describing the original Ring of Fire volcanic region around the Pacific Ocean. It then introduces another Ring of Fire discovery in Northern Ontario centered around McFaulds Lake. This area contains significant deposits of chromite, copper, zinc, nickel, platinum, vanadium, and gold. The discovery of these deposits could potentially supply North America's chromium needs for centuries and transform Canada into a major stainless steel producer. Currently only two development proposals are underway, but many exploration companies continue prospecting the region for new discoveries. The development of the Ring of Fire presents both opportunities and challenges related to the environment and Aboriginal communities.
