Erin Ventures Files Mineral Resource Estimate for Its Serbian Boron Project

02.12.2013  |  FSCwire
Victoria, British Columbia CANADA, December 02, 2013 /FSC/ - Erin Ventures Inc. (EV - TSX Venture), is pleased to announce the completion of a National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report and Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its 100% owned Piskanja boron deposit, located in Serbia. The MRE reports an Indicated Mineral Resource totalling 5,600,000 tonnes with an average B2O3 content of 30.8 percent and an additional Inferred Mineral Resource of 6,200,000 tonnes with an average B2O3 content of 28.8 percent. The Mineral Resource statement has been prepared by SRK Exploration Services Ltd (SRK) in accordance with Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 "Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects" ("NI"43-101").

This Mineral Resource estimate presents a maiden estimate which has been prepared by SRK on behalf of Erin. The geological modelling was completed using 53 drill holes, totalling 19,554 metres, which contained analytical sample data with B2O3 analysis results for 1,473 samples, totalling 6,211.68 metres.  This borehole and sample data has been used to prepare the Mineral Resource Estimation, which has an effective date of 22 October 2013.

The maiden Mineral Resource Statement generated by SRK for the Piskanja Project is presented in the following table:

Reported at a cut-off grade of 12 percent B2O3, above a minimum mining thickness of 1 m,considering reasonable underground mining, processing and selling technical parameters and costs benchmark against similar borate projects and a selling price of US$1005/tonne (boric acid).  All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have a demonstrated economic viability. The contained B2O3 represents estimated contained metal in the ground and has not been adjusted for metallurgical recovery, and may have discrepancies due to rounding.

The technical report containing the MRE has been prepared under the guidelines of National Instrument 43-101. The Mineral Resource Statement reported herein was prepared in conformity with the Canadian Institute of Mining (CIM) "Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves Best Practices Guidelines". The technical report, will be filed on SEDAR, and will contain more information with respect to the key assumptions, parameters, methods and risks of determination associated with the Mineral Resource Estimate.

Mineralisation Zone Modelling Highlights

The deposit grade distribution was assessed and modelled in Leapfrog software using a structural trend determined from cross-sections provided by Erin and through a statistical analysis that showed that a cut-off of 5 percent B2O3 provided contiguous zones of mineralisation. In total, SRK modelled 10 separate mineralisation zones. The average thickness of the mineralised zones ranges from 0.3 to 22.3 m, with an average thickness of 2.9 m. The average B2O3 grade is 30.4% for all mineralised zones. Seventy two percent of the mineralisation volume is located within Zones 1, 2 and 3.


Mineral Resource Expansion Potential

SRK states that there is potential to increase the current Mineral Resource with further targeted exploration programmes.

The main focus of any future drilling would be to increase the confidence within the confines of the presently modelled mineralised bodies by infill drilling to 50 x 50m. A secondary priority would be to delineate extensions to the existing mineralisation model through drilling at the peripheries of the deposit.

Both programmes of work would increase confidence in the geological and structural interpretations as well as add to the volume of mineralisation already modelled and defined. Greater sampling of low-grade intercalated, disseminated and wall-rock borate mineralisation may also add to the existing Mineral Resource Estimate.


Key Conclusions

The work completed by Erin to date demonstrates that the Piskanja Project and the western part of Jarandol Basin have significant potential to host multiple horizons of high-grade boron mineralisation. SRK considers the Piskanja Project to be an exploration project of merit and that there is potential to increase the current Mineral Resources with further targeted exploration programmes.

Blake Fallis, General Manager
