Arras Minerals Initiates Heli-TEMGeophysical Survey of Its Maisor and Aktasty Mineral Licenses, Kazakhstan
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 22, 2024 / Arras Minerals Corp. (TSX-V:ARK)(OTCQB:ARRKF) ("Arras" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that its planned 3,381 km airborne (helicopter) electromagnetic (EM) ("Heli-TEM") survey has commenced at the Company's Bozshakol group of licenses. These licenses form part of the Teck-Arras Strategic Exploration Alliance announced on December 7, 2023 (the "Bozshakol Project"), and are located nearby and surrounding the operating large-scale Bozshakol copper mine, operated by Kaz Minerals.
2024年7月22日,卑诗省温哥华/ACCESSWIRE/——Arras Minerals Corp.(TSX-V:ARK)(OTCQB:ARRKF)(“Arras”或“公司”)很高兴地宣布,其计划的3,381公里空中(直升机)电磁(EM)(“Heli-TEM”)测量已经在公司的Bozshakol许可证组合内开始进行。这些许可证是在2023年12月7日宣布的Teck-Arras战略勘探联盟的一部分(“Bozshakol项目”),位于靠近和围绕Kaz Minerals运营的大规模Bozshakol铜矿的区域。
Highlights from the Soil Sampling program
土壤采样项目的亮点:
3,381 line-kilometer Heli-TEM survey over the entire 1397 square-kilometer Bozshakol project mineral tenement package.
Survey lines will be flown in a northwest-southeast (125-315) line direction, with lines expected to be approximately 500m apart.
整个1397平方公里的Bozshakol项目矿业地租包的3,381公里线-千米直升机电磁测量。
测量线将在西北-东南(125-315)线方向飞行,预计距离约为50000万。
Tim Barry, CEO of Arras Minerals stated, " The commencement of the Heli-TEM survey at the Bozshakol group is an important initiative which we have worked closely with our Alliance partners, Teck Resources on planning. The shallow overburden on most of the project has prevented us from completing geological mapping and soil sampling over the properties and this survey will provide a significant amount of quality data to help guide future exploration as we commence our hunt for additional porphyry deposits adjacent to the large-scale Bozshakol copper mine."
Arras Minerals的首席执行官Tim Barry表示:“在Bozshakol小组的Heli-TEm调查开始之际,这是一个我们与我们的联盟伙伴Teck Resources密切合作规划的重要举措。大多数项目的浅覆盖物阻止了我们在属性上完成地质映射和土壤采样,这次调查将提供大量优质数据,以帮助我们在寻找大规模Bozshakol铜矿旁边的其他斑岩矿床时引导未来的勘探。”
Future work will include evaluation of the airborne survey and ground follow-up that includes ground-based geophysics surveys, trenching and diamond drilling of identified targets.
未来的工作将包括评估空中测量和跟进的地面工作,包括地基地球物理勘测、开挖和钻石钻探已确定的目标。

Teck Package A - Bozshakol Project:
Teck Package A-Bozshakol项目:
The Bozshakol Project is located 56km to the northwest of the town of Ekibastuz and surrounds and covers the potential continuation of mineralization of KAZ Minerals' Bozshakol copper- mine.
Bozshakol项目位于Ekibastuz镇以西56公里处,围绕和覆盖了KAZ Minerals的Bozshakol铜矿矿化的潜在延伸。
This area has received limited historic exploration due to unconsolidated cover masking bedrock geology. The property consists of seven exploration licenses and covers approximately 1,400 square kilometres.
由于非固结覆盖层掩盖了岩床地质学,该区域受到了有限的历史勘探。该物业由七个勘探许可证组成,占地约1,400平方公里。
The properties are in the Bozshakol-Chingis magmatic arc, which is an accretionary arc composed mainly of volcanics, volcaniclastics, older plutons and a nickel rich ophiolite belt of Cambrian age that have been intruded by mid-Ordovician aged intrusions, several of which host economic copper-gold porphyry mineralization. This package is regionally folded and refolded.
这些物业在Bozshakol-Chingis玄武岩弧中,是由火山岩,火山碎屑,早期侵入岩石和富含镍的某种富含某种古生代的Cambrian链带以及几个包含经济铜金斑岩矿化的中奥陶世块体组成。该地区局部折叠和再折叠。

Heli-TEM Background Information
Heli-TEm背景信息:
The Heli-TEM system was developed by Fugro Airborne Surveys in the mid 2000's for detection of deep discrete conductive mineral targets or targets obscured by conductive overburden.
Heli-TEm系统是由Fugro Airborne Surveys于21世纪初期开发的,用于检测深层分散的导电矿物目标或被导电覆盖物遮蔽的目标。
The Heli-TEM system is composed of a 40-metre cable to which is attached the transmitter loop. The receiver platform and the receiver coil are located at the centre of the 35 metre diameter transmitter loop approximately 0.1 metre above the centre of the transmitter plane. The real time navigation GPS antenna is on the tail boom of the helicopter. The barometric altimeter, radar altimeter, laser altimeter, video camera and data recorder are all installed in the helicopter. GPS antennae are attached to the transmitter loop to give positional information and transmitter orientation.
Heli-TEm系统由一个长达40米的电缆组成,附有发射线圈。接收器平台和接收线圈位于35米直径的发射器环的中心,距离发射平面中心约0.1米。实时导航GPS天线位于直升机的尾梁上。气压高度计、雷达高度计、激光高度计、摄像机和数据记录器都安装在直升机上。GPS天线固定在发射线圈上,以提供位置信息和发射方向。
The survey uses a 7.5 Hertz ("Hz") one half cycle of the Heli-TEM system that is made up of a square pulse (on-time) of approximately thirty-four milliseconds in duration followed by approximately thirty-four milliseconds of off-time before the pulse is repeated with the opposite polarity. After acquisition the measured data are windowed into twenty-five ranges called "gates". Gate widths increase as time after turn-off increases because as the energy from the transmitter decays a wider sample must be taken to get a valid average. The position of the first off-time gate is selected after examining several flights of data and is as close to the transmitter turn off as possible. The power of the pulse causes eddy currents in the system after the turn off and the first off-time gate cannot start until these have died away. The earliest data has had less time to penetrate the subsurface and so contains information from the near surface.
该测量使用Heli-TEm系统的7.5赫兹("Hz")一半周期,由一个长约34毫秒的方波(开启时间)组成,紧接着是约34毫秒的关时间,然后是与相反极性重复。采集后,所测得的数据被分割成25个被称为“门”的距离。门宽随时间而增加,因为随着从发射器衰减的能量,必须采取更广泛的样本才能得到有效的平均值。第一个关时间门的位置是在检查几次数据后选择的,并且尽可能接近发射器关闭。脉冲功率在关门后会在系统中引起涡流,因此在这些涡流消失之前,第一个关门时间不能开始。最早的数据对穿透亚表面的时间较短,因此包含来自近表面的信息。

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors concerning estimates of Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Resources: This press release uses the terms "measured resources", "indicated resources", and "inferred resources" which are defined in, and required to be disclosed by, NI 43-101. The Company advises U.S. investors that these terms are not recognized by the SEC. The estimation of measured, indicated and inferred resources involves greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that measured and indicated mineral resources will be converted into reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that estimates of inferred mineral resources exist, are economically minable, or will be upgraded into measured or indicated mineral resources. Under Canadian securities laws, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
对于美国投资者的警示:本新闻稿中使用了“可测量资源”、“指示资源”和“暗示资源”这些术语,这些术语在NI 43-101中有定义并需要披露。公司提醒美国投资者,SEC不承认这些术语。测量、指示和暗示资源的估算比已探明和可采储量的估算存在更大的不确定性。美国投资者应注意,不要认为可测量和指示矿物资源会转换为储量。暗示资源的估算比其他类别的资源的估算存在更大的不确定性,不要认为暗示矿物资源的估算存在、是经济可采的或将升级为可测量或指示的矿物资源。根据加拿大证券法规,估算的暗示矿物资源可能不能成为可行性或其他经济研究的依据。
Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations, however the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, the information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies that are not subject NI 43-101.
在加拿大规定下,矿产资源中的"含盎司"泄露是被允许的,然而,SEC通常只允许发布不符合SEC标准"储量"的矿化物作为现场吨位和品位,而不涉及单元计量。因此,本新闻稿中包含的信息可能无法与未受NI 43-101约束的美国公司公开的类似信息相比。
Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements: This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and Arras' future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, and applicable Canadian securities laws.
