Holy COW LIMESTONES - CARBONATES in Arizona in OZ JV just realeased at my Other AZ Favorite: Jaba Inc - Jaba signs U.S. exploration JV with North Mining Jaba Inc JBA Shares issued 22,340,336 1999-10-01 close $0.075 Tuesday Oct 5 1999 Mr. James Briscoe reports Jaba has announced the signing, as of Sept. 22, 1999, of a new exploration joint venture with North Mining Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of North Limited of Australia. The intent of this joint venture is to further evaluate the potential of and to define drill targets within what Jaba and North believe to be a highly prospective area for the occurrence of large polymetallic carbonate replacement deposits -- that is, combinations of base (copper, zinc, lead, molybdenum, etc.) and precious (gold and silver) metals in veins, mantos and disseminations in limestone host rocks. The term of this phase of the project is until June 30, 2000, and the objective of the project is to define targets for drill testing that would take place after that date. The project could result in the definition of multiple target areas that would become subprojects of a minimum of 20 square miles each. On each target subproject, North can earn a 51-per-cent interest by expending $1-million (U.S.) and defining a resource equivalent to one million ounces of gold regardless of metal type. They can earn another 24-per-cent interest on that subproject by expending a further $1-million (U.S.) on exploration and definition drilling within four years. Jaba would retain a 25-per-cent interest in each defined subproject area. North will manage the project, with Jaba providing assistance in various geologic details. Jaba considers this joint venture to be a very favourable development. North Mining has significant expertise in exploring for this type of mineral environment (large, polymetallic carbonate replacement deposits). Another Jaba prospect is under consideration by a large production company. Should negotiations proceed favourably, a positive decision may be made within 60 days. Jaba continues to actively seek joint venture partners for its other properties in the southwestern United States and Northern Mexico. canada-stockwatch.com Chucka THIS IS TUCSON just 25 or so miles from P-7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
