Doubleview Reports Strong Massive Sulphide Intercept Logged in Drill Hole H067

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview) is pleased to showcase a long intercept of massive sulphide mineralization in drill hole H068 at its Hat Project. The Hat polymetallic porphyry project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, has demonstrated that it contains several of the metals deemed as “critical metals” by the Canadian and American federal governments.

The accompanying photographs illustrate the character of the mineral zone. The long sulphide intercept will be transported under enhanced security protocols for analytical analysis. Assay results will be published in a subsequent news release upon receipt and verification. Further details, including collar coordinates and orientation, will be provided in the immediate future.

Drill hole H067 was collared 320 metres south of drill hole H034 and is directed to the projected south extension of the Lisle Zone. The strong sulphide mineralization appears to comprise sections of very strong chalcopyrite and pyrite, including about 2 metres of nearly massive chalcopyrite. [Chalcopyrite contains about 30% copper].

Further information and maps are being developed to demonstrate the southern extension of the Lisle zone. It is currently projected that the drilling will extend the deposit for another 450m by 340m towards the south while the deposit is open in all directions.

Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO, stated, “I am pleased to see that our modelling concept has been confirmed with drilling. I am also proud of our dedicated team, including our Tahltan Band members who put their utmost efforts into this season’s drilling campaign, which has been very cost effective and successful. We have drilled 1,500 meters in the past two weeks alone, and that has only been attainable due to the team’s hard work, preparation and efficient execution.”

The following photos depict the intersected mineralization (see this news release on the company’s website if the pictures are not visible).

Archistar, Blackfort and Corelogic have identified 655,000 potential sites in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for granny flat development

New analysis of all residential properties across Australia’s three largest capitals has identified more than 655,000 sites suitable for the construction of a granny flat, offering a solution to help ease the housing shortage.

The inaugural report Granny flats: Where are the greatest opportunities for development? by national town planning research platform Archistar, real estate construction lender Blackfort, and property data and analytics provider CoreLogic assessed every residential block across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to determine how many individual properties have building potential for a self-contained two-bedroom unit.

Sydney is home to the most granny flat development opportunities with around 242,000 suitable properties, representing 17.6% of the metro region’s housing stock. Melbourne has almost 230,000 potential sites, representing 13.2% of stock, while Brisbane has almost 185,000 suitable sites, representing 23.3% across the metro region.

Of these sites, more than a third (36%) are within two kilometres of a train or light rail station and 17% have a hospital within the suburb boundary, demonstrating a combination of accessibility and opportunity to fast-track housing options for essential workers in the health care sector.

CoreLogic Research Director Tim Lawless said the results highlight significant untapped development potential which could go some way toward addressing the housing shortage in the country’s largest cities.

“NHIFC forecasts indicate the national housing market is forecast to be undersupplied to the tune of 106,300 dwellings over the next five years,” Mr Lawless said.

“For policy makers and government, granny flats present an immediate and cost-effective opportunity to deliver much needed housing supply within existing town planning guidelines. For homeowners, the addition of a second self-contained dwelling provides an opportunity to provide rental housing or additional accommodation for family members, while at the same time, increasing the value of their property and potentially attaining additional rental income.” 

Archistar co-founder Dr Benjamin Coorey said accommodating the growing population within these larger capitals is a critical issue that flexible housing solutions can help address.

“Since granny flat developments leverage existing lot areas and require no changes to town planning regulation, they offer an immediate opportunity to address housing shortages and affordability pressures expected in the coming five years for both buyers and renters.”

Top Sydney council regions and suburbs

Sydney is home to the most granny flat development opportunities, with 242,081 existing residential dwellings fitting the zoning, land area and existing home position requirements to build a granny flat.

Across Sydney’s council regions, the Central Coast hosts the most granny flat development opportunities, with 41,569 or 17.2%, of all potential sites. The Northern Beaches (19,884 / 8.2%), Hornsby (18,344 / 7.6%), Blacktown (17,909 / 7.4%) and Ku-Ring-Gai (14,617 / 6.0%) round out the top five regions.

At a suburb level, neighbouring North-West suburbs show the highest opportunities for granny flat development. Baulkham Hills (4,673 / 43.3%), Castle Hill (4,423 / 39.8%), Cherrybrook (3,421 / 61.8%), Carlingford (2,910 / 46%) and West Pennant Hills (2698 / 49.3%) stand out due to their larger land areas compared to inner-city neighbourhoods.

“Sydney’s household formation is forecast to outpace supply from 2025, with the most significant undersupply expected through 2025 and persist up until 2026 at -15,900 dwellings,” Mr Lawless said.

Top Melbourne council regions and suburbs

“Melbourne is expected to face a major housing shortage from 2023 to 2027, with a deficit of 23,800 dwellings, which is nearly twice the anticipated shortfall of 12,100 new dwellings in Sydney during the same period,” he said.

Within Melbourne’s broad regions, the Mornington Peninsula offers the highest potential for granny flat development, with 23,870 sites which make up 10.4% of the total sites across the city. Casey (16,861 / 7.4%), Monash (13,960 / 6.1%), Knox (13,741 / 6.0%) and Manningham (13,063 / 5.7%) round out the top five municipalities for the most granny flat development sites.

East of Melbourne’s CBD, Glen Waverley (4,009 / 27.4%), Rowville (3,674 / 30.3%) and Berwick (3,604 / 18.3%) suburbs show highest opportunities for granny flat investment sites. Hotspot potential extends out to the coastal suburb of Rye (3,705 / 38.6%) and the northern suburb of Doncaster East (3,397 / 34.9%).

Top Brisbane council regions and suburbs

Mr Lawless said Brisbane’s housing supply shortfall is more imminent relative to the larger capital cities, with the current forecast of newly built housing supply short by 3,100 this year.

Across the council areas of Greater Brisbane, the Brisbane LGA has the most granny flat development sites, with 184,660 or 40.5% of all opportunities. Logan (33,414 / 18.1%), Moreton Bay (31,949 / 17.3%), Ipswich (22,569 / 12.2%) and Redland (19,243 / 10.4%) round out the top five council regions for the most granny flat development sites.

The top five Brisbane suburbs with the highest potential for granny flat development sprawl out across urban centres, with opportunities in The Gap (2,986 / 48.8%), Alexandra Hills (2,789 / 46%), Redbank Plains (2,479 / 30.3%), Albany Creek (2,378 / 44%) and Rochedale South (2,215 / 42.3%).

Granny flat development benefits

Mr. Lawless said there are immediate lifestyle and financial upsides for investors whose properties met the planning requirements.

“Adding a granny flat accommodates extra living space for extended family, multi-generational households or rental purposes, thereby boosting a property’s value and potentially creating extra income for rising living costs.

“CoreLogic figures show an extra two bedrooms, and an additional bathroom could add around 32% to the value of an existing dwelling. For a house worth $500,000, the addition of a granny flat has the potential to add approximately $160,000 to the value of the property.”

Dr Coorey said research showed more than a third of the sites identified are close to existing amenities and services such as transport or a hospital.

“Granny flats present a cost-effective opportunity to boost housing supply for growing capital populations close to existing infrastructure such as railways, bus routes and major road networks for state and local governments.

“While building regulations for secondary dwellings differ state to state, this unlocks a combination of accessibility and opportunity to fast track affordable housing options for all demographics, particularly essential workers in industries such as the health care sector.”

Doubleview Reports Strong Mineralization Extends Buck Zone of the Lisle Deposit Another 250m South-Southwest

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce further assay results from drill holes H054, H055 and H056 at the Hat deposit located in northwest British Columbia. Drill hole H054 contains assays with a higher gold content of 0.43 g/t, when generally balanced in comparison with copper 0.32%, scandium 27.3 g/t and cobalt 136.9 g/t, with a 1.29% copper equivalent intercept** over 143 meters. Drill hole H054 has extended the Buck Zone within the Lisle Deposit for another 250m south-southwest. The Hat polymetallic porphyry project in British Columbia’s Golden Triangle, has demonstrated that it contains several of the metals deem as “critical metals” by the Canadian and American federal governments.

  • The assay results summarized in Table 1 are open to the south and southwest of the Hat mineralization complex.
  • The mineralization starts from near the surface and strengthens in mineral content at depth,
  • Gold and cobalt mineralization are of higher grades in comparison with copper towards the south and southwest of the Lisle Deposit,
  • Strength of all metals with increased depth is notable in all drill holes to date in the Buck Zone,
  • The Buck Zone within the Lisle Deposit currently covers an area more than 400m x 450m and is open to the north-northeast, south, southwest, and to depth,
  • The Buck Zone connects the West Lisle, Main Lisle and Southern Lisle zones with strong mineralization.

The gradual approach to increasing the Buck Zone’s dimensions is anticipated to add more value to the upcoming Q1 2024 resource estimate. All drill holes in this news release (H054 – H056) have expanded the mineralized envelope of the Lisle Deposit. Table 2 depicts the location of drill holes H054, H055 and H056.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, commented, “The ongoing drilling campaign continues to exceed all expectations and the Company will continue working as long as weather permits. The 2023 program is designed to increase the dimensions of the Hat Deposit with the intention, upon completion of the NI 43-101 Resource Estimate, of having the project recognized as containing an outstanding resource, with exceptional metals extraction and recoveries. All holes drilled in 2023 are expected to be included in the forthcoming resource evaluation.”

Mr. Shirvani continued, “The 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat polymetallic deposit, and the total meters drilled this season now exceeds 8,700 meters.”

Drill Hole Assays in the Newly Discovered Buck Zone Connects the West Lisle Zone to Main Lisle deposit

Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (GER: A1W038) (the “Company or “Doubleview”) is pleased to announce assay results from Hat Project drill holes H049, H052, and H053 (Drill holes H050 & H051 were previously reported 06/010/23). Of special significance is drill hole H052 that intersected more than 500 meters with strong Copper and Gold Mineralization within which a 211.2 meter interval included 0.35 g/t Gold, 0.37% Copper with a total 1.33% Copper Equivalent**. Also particularly notable is an apparent increase in strength of all metals with increased depth. Cobalt assay results for drill hole H053 are among the highest ever reported for the Lisle Zone. Drill holes H052 and H053 are in the Buck zone connecting the western Lisle zone with the strong mineralization of the southern Lisle zone.

The reported drill holes cover a 150m x 260m area if projected to surface. The drill hole locations were carefully selected to gradually increase the Lisle deposit volume for the upcoming resource estimation, anticipated to be released Q1 of 2024. Table 1 shows assay intervals in detail and Table 2 provides information concerning drill hole locations. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the locations and distribution of mineralization. Drill holes H052 and H053 provide a link from the west part of Lisle Zone to its southern extension.

Farshad Shirvani, Doubleview’s president and CEO, comments that “The 2023 drill campaign has exceeded all expectations. These first pair of drill holes connect the newly discovered Buck zone with the Lisle zone, which until now had previously been viewed as two separate areas. It’s anticipated that this will add significantly to the size and value of the Hat deposit. Besides the consistently high values of scandium and the continuous numbers for copper, the results for cobalt in drill hole H049 are, as with the case in H053, some of the highest grading cobalt assays ever encountered at the Hat deposit. This underlines the project’s outstanding importance to potentially be supportive for Canada’s ambitious plan to tackle climate change and have an independent supply of critical metals.”

Mr. Shirvani continued “While work is continuing to prepare the resource estimation data package, we are steadily advancing our drill hole coverage southward to the nearly unexplored Hoey zone, where earlier surface work including hand trenching, showed strong copper, cobalt and gold mineralization.”

Currently the 2023 drilling campaign continues to advance the Hat project, and the total drilled length of this season exceeds 8,000 meters.

Pioneering Transformation: Unveiling the Trailblazing Winners of the Inaugural WiT Travel Changemakers Awards 2023

The Asia Travel Technology Industry Association (ATTIA) and Web in Travel (WiT) are delighted to announce the winners of the inaugural Travel Changemakers Awards 2023.

From over 100 entries, 10 were selected as representing best practice. The Awards seek to recognise innovators who have harnessed technology to usher in a brighter future for the Asia Pacific region. The winners were revealed at the WiT Singapore Conference held on 3 October 2023.

The Travel Changemakers Awards 2023 are organised by WiT in conjunction with ATTIA to celebrate innovators in the Asia Pacific who seized the opportunity to introduce new initiatives and programs to transform their organisations and impact the entire industry.

“Bringing action to our thoughts, we focused on common elements – the environment, empowering local communities, nurturing talent – which led to the creation of the Travel Changemakers Awards 2023. We are thrilled to have the Asia Travel & Tech Industry Association’s support for this inaugural event. As I read through all the entries, I was inspired by the creativity, innovation, and the remarkable individuals making positive changes in the world,” said Yeoh Siew Hoon, founder of Web in Travel.

These changes are marked by the imaginative and clever use of technology at their core.

Chris Kerin, Managing Director of Asia Travel Technology Industry Association (ATTIA), shared, “ATTIA is primarily trying to drive collaborative relationships between members, governments and the rest of the industry. We want to promote the good work that is being done by everyone – government departments, NGOs, not-for-profit enterprises, and the private sector. If we can highlight all the good that is happening, it is a clear way for us to strengthen relationships and demonstrate our support for the industry.”

The 11 esteemed judges are recognisable leaders in their field and represented all aspects of the industry from tourism to hospitality, aviation to ground transportation.

Palladium One Announces Multiple Drill Ready Targets on the Tyko II Nickel – Copper Project, Ontario, Canada

Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (OTCQB: NKORF) (FSE: 7N11) (the “Company” or “Palladium One“) is pleased to announce preliminary results from a VTEMmax survey on the Tyko II Property, part of the Tyko Nickel – Copper District (Figure 1).

“The addition of seven (7) new VTEM anomalies to our existing inventory of drill ready targets speaks to the large scale opportunity the Tyko District represents for shareholders. Soil sampling to ground truth the seven (7) VTEM anomalies is well advanced and drill permits are in hand to test five (5) of the seven (7) anomalies. The Tyko II project has many geological similarities to Tyko I and we look forward to receipt of additional results from the property.

“The recently completed VTEMmax survey is the most sensitive EM survey ever flown over the Tyko II property (Figure 2). The survey easily detected the historical Moshinkabi and Faries Lake Zones, but also detected new anomalies near the Kejimalda and Gionet Zones that had not been detected by previous airborne EM surveys. This speaks to the sensitivity of the VTEMmax system and its potential to identify targets that were overlooked by less sensitive historical EM surveys.

“The 2023 ground truthing is wrapping up and the Company is on track to begin drill testing in mid-October,” commented Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.

Targets: Magmatic Cu-Ni-PGE and VMS Cu-Zn-Pb

The Faries-Moshkinabi Mafic-Ultramafic Complex is associated with several Cu-Ni-PGE showings, making it a compelling target with similarities to the Company’s Tyko I property. The Complex hosts the historical Moshkinabi-Kejimalda Zone with up to 1.17% Cu, 0.73% Ni, 2.4 g/t Pd, 0.2 g/t Pt in grab samples (Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines (“MENDM”) Mineral Deposit Index (“MDI”) 000000002357). The Moshkinabi-Kejimalda Zone lies along the interpreted basal sequence of the Complex and has limited shallow historical drilling for which the vast majority of holes have no reported assays. Significantly, the recent VTEMmax survey has identified an untested potential northern extension of the zone which was obscured from historical airborne surveys by a powerline crossing the northern part of the property (Figure 2).

The Gionet Zone with grab sample assays up to 2.46% Cu, 0.22% Ni (ENDM MDI 42F04SE00012) consists primarily of a series of mineralized, highly deformed and altered gabbro boulders with pyrite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite. The Gionet Zone has never been drill tested, and notably the associated VTEMmax anomaly is actually located immediately to the east of original showing suggesting that the best part of the Zone has yet to tested (Figure 2).

The world class Geco (“Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide”) VMS deposit is located approximately 15 km northwest of the Tyko II Property (Figure 1). From 1957 to 1995, the Geco Mine produced over 49.3 Mt of ore grading 1.85% Cu, 3.78% Zn, and 56.2 g/t Ag (Puumala et al., 2020); in addition, the satellite Willroy, Willecho, and Nama Creek Mines entered production of copper-zinc-lead-silver ore at various times during this period. The Tyko II property contains altered volcanics rocks with similarities to those which host the Geco Mine and thus is also prospective for VMS hosted copper – zinc – lead mineralization.
