Vancouver, BC, Jan. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Demesne Resources Ltd. (CSE:DEME) (OTCQB:DEMRF) (FSE:RK9) (“Demesne” or the “Company”) announced that it has begun compilation of historical data on the IMA mine to support preparation of a Technical Report on the property. Demesne has contracted A-Z Mining Professionals to prepare the report, a mining consultancy firm with extensive experience in development of Tungsten, precious metals and base metals projects utilizing open pit narrow vein and bulk underground mining methods.

Independent project QPs are currently conducting a site visit with Demesne geology staff and contractors to catalog historical data and review drillcore from prior exploration programs. For more information concerning the Company’s engagement with A-Z Mining Professionals, please refer to the company’s press release dated January 9, 2025.

“Further to our long-term operational strategy, Demesne has initiated technical work on the property, beginning with the preparation of a Technical Report.” said Murray Nye, CEO of Demesne Resources Ltd. “We have a large amount of historical information on the property, including maps, reports, drillhole data, and production information dating back to the 1940s. Our QPs and geology staff are conducting a site visit this week in order to identify, catalog, and digitize the key records.”

The IMA Mine is a past producing underground tungsten mine situated on 22 patented claims located in East Central Idaho. Between 1945 and 1957, the property produced approximately 199,449 MTUs of WO3 and was subsequently explored for molybdenum and tungsten by various operators between 1960-2008⁽¹⁾.

Historical data sets available to guide future exploration development and project planning include:

• Drillhole data sets from Bradley, Inspiration, Gentor and others including logs, surveys, assay certificates and other records.

• A large number of detailed underground maps and sections showing historical development, drilling, sampling and survey points from 1950 Bradley and 1980s Inspiration work.

• Company reports and records containing historical production data, metallurgical testwork, historical Non-43-101 compliant resource estimates⁽²⁾.

• Digital data sets including historical scans, CAD data and drillhole database files.

“The extensive historical data available on the IMA mine is invaluable for quickly advancing this project towards development.” said Murray Nye.

The Company plans to continue work to digitize and verify historical information and records in support of developing a 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource for the property, in conjunction with initiating project planning and trade off studies, and planning for sample collection activities for verification and metallurgical studies.

Statements concerning historical mineral resources and production on the property have been obtained through both public and private sources, and are believed to be substantially factual and relevant in that they demonstrate the tenor of exploration targets on the property. These historical resource estimates pre-date the implementation of NI 43-101 and do not use categories stipulated by CIM. Prior operators assigned confidence categories which differ from those stipulated by CIM, as they may not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimates should not be relied upon until they have been verified. Neither Demesne Resources, nor its Qualified Person, has done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or to verify historical information regarding past production or exploration. Demesne Resources is not treating the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
