Majescor's Surface Sampling of the Besakoa Polymetallic Prospect in Madagascar Returns Grades of Up to 17.5 g/t Gold, 47 g/t Silver, 30% Copper and 3%

Majescor Resources Inc. ("Majescor") (TSX VENTURE:MAJ.V - News) is pleased to announce that it has received the final results from the reconnaissance survey conducted in September 2006 on its Besakoa gold and base metal prospect, located in southern Madagascar.

A total of 49 grab rock samples and 6 quality control samples were collected from surface exposures during the survey. The analytical results confirm the presence of anomalous gold, silver and copper values over a minimum 700m strike length at the main Besakoa prospect, with 32 grab samples out of the 49 collected assaying above 0.1 g/t gold, 1 g/t silver and 0.1% copper.

Out of the 32 anomalous samples, 7 returned values in excess of 0.5 g/t gold and 5 g/t silver, including sample BSKR-10, which assayed 17.5 g/t gold and 9.8 g/t silver, and sample BSKR-21 which contained 1.9 g/t gold and 9.8 g/t silver. Both surface rock samples also showed highly anomalous copper values of 20.7% and 11.9% respectively, and contained visible malachite. Two more samples yielded greater than 3% copper: BSKR-7 with 30.4% copper (the highest copper value of the survey); and BSKR-12 with 3.4% copper and 3.0% zinc (the highest zinc value of the survey). Sample BSKR-12 also scored the second highest silver assay of the survey, 24.1 g/t Ag, the highest silver value of 47.1 g/t Ag being recorded in sample BSKR-14.

Majescor's Chairman, Andre Audet, states: "We are exited by the initial sampling results from our Besakoa prospect which improve upon the historical data collected in the 1950's and suggest the presence of a near-surface oxide zone enriched in gold and copper. Our up-coming core drilling program at Besakoa in November will focus exclusively on the near-surface portion of the prospect which has never been tested."

The Besakoa prospect is a historical volcanogenic massive sulfide occurrence with compositional similarities to the Bisha polymetallic deposit in Eritrea held by Nevsun Resources Ltd. The Besakoa property holds a series of sulphide occurrences which have never been fully investigated. The property was last explored over 40 years ago. A map showing the location of the Besakoa prospect as well as a table of results is available on the Company's Website at: www.majescor.com .

All samples, including field duplicates and blanks, were submitted to ALS-Chemex laboratories in Johannesburg, South Africa for trace element analysis using ICP-AES. Samples with gold values greater than 10 ppm were reanalyzed for total gold by fire assay.

This press release was prepared by Marc-Andre Bernier, P. Geo., geologist, who is a "Qualified Person" as defined under National Instrument NI 43-101.

Majescor is an aggressive exploration company with the largest portfolio of diamond properties in Quebec, as well as projects in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, Brazil and Madagascar. Majescor has also acquired gold and base metal properties in Quebec and Madagascar.

IMF Executive Board Discusses the First Assessment of Eligible Countries under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative

On December 21, 2005 the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) established the list of countries that qualify for debt relief from the Fund under the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI). Debt relief delivery, which could start as soon as January 3, 2005, is now conditional on getting the consents of all the contributors to the Subsidy Account of the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) Trust, whose contributions help finance the Initiative. The MDRI will deliver debt relief from the Fund to qualifying members countries with an annual per capita income at or below US$380, and to countries above the threshold that have reached the completion point under the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative. The implementation of the MDRI will reduce the external debt burden of a number of the world's poorest countries and will provide additional resources to help them reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Background The Executive Board appro...

Oil’s chaotic collapse deepens; stocks drop worldwide

Image
NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices crumpled even further Tuesday, and U.S. stocks sank to their worst loss in weeks as worries swept markets worldwide about the economic carnage caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The market’s spotlight was again on oil, where prices have plummeted because very few people are flying or driving, and factories have shut amid widespread stay-at-home orders. Global demand is set to drop to levels last seen in the mid 1990s. At the same time, oil producers can’t slow their production fast enough, and all the extra crude means storage tanks are quickly running out of room. The cost for a barrel of U.S. oil to be delivered in June plunged 43% to $11.57. That’s the part of the market that oil traders are focused on and trading most actively. For oil to be delivered next month, which is when storage tanks could top out, the cost of a barrel stood at $10.01. A day earlier, it fell below zero for the first time, meaning traders paid others to take oil off their hand...

Mapping Extreme Poverty Around the World A new report from the

Image
A new report from the  World Bank  just landed, finding that a record low of 10% of humanity now live in extreme poverty, down from 11% in 2013. But poverty rates aren’t anywhere close to equal between continents or even countries, as our new series of maps clearly demonstrates. The World Bank provides an in-depth explanation for its methodology, which you can find in Appendix A of the full report  here . We focused on the percentage of people in each country living below what the World Bank defines as extreme poverty, or $1.90/day. We’ll let the researchers defend this definition on their own, but there is one caveat to keep in mind. It can be extraordinarily difficult to collect reliable data from so many countries on a regular basis, and in fact we used the latest year in which numbers were available whenever possible. For example, in some of these maps we compare 2011 figures against 2015. In short, our maps provide the clearest possible apples-to-apples compa...
