Clarification of Technical Disclosure on Pegmont Project
Vancouver, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / November 28th, 2014 / Vendetta Mining Corp. (VTT-TSX:V) (the "Company") reports that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, it is issuing this news release to clarify points of technical disclosure.
The informational pieces in question include Canaccord Genuity Mineral Exploration Review (November 10th, 2014) and SNN Live interview (November 6th, 2014), both of which appeared on the Company's website under the 'Media' page, and the Company has removed them from the website.
The Company would like to clarify that in both instances errors were made in the technical disclosure as follows:
-
- Disclosure of the mineral resource estimate was contrary to sections 2.2(c) and 3.4(b) of NI 43-101. The inferred and indicated mineral resources estimates for the sulphide material at Pegmont had been added and quoted as a singular mineral resource.
-
- Disclosure of the exploration potential was contrary to Section 2.3(1)(a) of NI 43-101 and did not state the potential quality and quantity of grade and didn't indicate that this is conceptual in nature nor the basis on which the disclosed potential quantity and grade has been determined as required by Section 2.3(2).
The Company would like to re-iterate that the mineral resource estimate is as stated in the Companies News Release # 3 - Vendetta Mining Corp. Announces a Mineral Resource Estimate on the Pegmont Lead-Zinc Project, Queensland, Australia - September 2nd, 2014, see Table 1 below, with the original source document being "Technical Report Pegmont Property Mineral Resource Estimate" AMC Consultants (Canada) Limited, effective date of 28 February 2014, available for viewing under Vendetta Mining Corp.'s profile page on SEDAR at http://www.sedar.com.
The Company would like to state that the exploration target for Pegmont is 8 to 11 Mt at 2 to 4% Pb, 1 to 3% Zn as determined by AMC Consultants (Canada) and reported in the above mentioned Technical Report. The exploration potential in both quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, it is present in three areas, Zone 5, Gossan Load and part of Zone 1. The Zone 5 and Zone 1 exploration potential is based on limited wide spaced drilling, insufficient to define an inferred mineral resource. The exploration potential at the Gossan Load is due to historic data quality needing to be confirmed. It is not certain that further exploration will delineate a mineral resource in Zone 5 and Zone 1 nor that historic data at the Gossan Load will be confirmed.
The mineral resource and exploration potential areas described above are shown on the map in Figure 1 below.
