GOLD,COPPER,PALLADIUM AND PLATINUM SELLING FOR 9 CENTS?
AFF AUTOMATED FAST FOODS: AFF/VSE has assembled some of the finest mineral properties in San Bernadino County, California. One of their properties had an estimated (not proven or probable and based on preliminary data and subject to revision) of 770,000,000 pounds of copper that was stated by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. There was also values of gold,silver,molybenum and other metals which could further enhance the potential of the property/project.
The company plans to undertake a major work program on this property immediately.
AFF'S PLATINUM/PALLADIUM PROPERTY.
The company is negotiating the acquisition of a major platinum/palladium mineral property located in Northern Ontario. In view of the increasingly important role that Platinum Group Metals ("PGM's ) play in our modern society,management has implemented a program to pursue opportunities related to platinum and palladium projects. Recent research by academic and government institutions, including the United States Geological Survey, the Geological Survey of Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and mines, has shown many geological similarities, at both a regional and local scale, between the Noril'sk area of Russia and the Midcontinental Rift System of the Superior area of northern Ontario and Minnesota.
NEWS RELEASE (PGM's) PROPERTY
AFF Automated Fast Foods Ltd -
50% interest to be acquired in Bulldozer No. 1 property
AFF Automated Fast Foods Ltd AFFShares issued 176378021998-05-19 close $0.12Wednesday May 20 1998Mr. James Armstrong reports AFF has entered into an agreement to acquire a 50 per cent interest in the Bulldozer No. 1 property held pursuant to an option agreement by a non-arm's length party. The property is comprised of six claims covering approximately 960 hectares. The company is also in the process of negotiating the acquisition of other ground in the area. The Bulldozer No. 1 property, which has potential to host platinum group metal mineralization, is approximately 32 kilometres northeast of the famous Hemlo gold camp of northwestern Ontario. Portions of the property are known to cover an airborne geophysical anomaly but only limited exploration was ever performed to determine the cause of the anomaly. During 1997 logging activity provided much needed access to the property and allowed prospecting of the area and reconnaissance surveys to be conducted by the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS). The property is now known to cover portions of the Bulldozer Lake intrusion, a geologic terrain that is a promising host for copper - nickel - platinum group metal deposits. This intrusion, which is most probably of a composite, mafic to ultramafic nature, is delineated by the prominent, elliptical aeromagnetic anomaly. Limited exploration in the area has led to the discovery of sulphide mineralization on the property that appears similar to that of the Shabotik occurrence approximately five kilometres to the southeast. At the Shabotik occurrence, sulphide-rich rocks have shown values of up to 3 grams platinum, 1 gram palladium, 1.99 per cent nickel and 2.66 per cent copper. Although little is known about the Bulldozer Lake intrusion and the Shabotik occurrence at this time, the OGS has recommended a thorough investigation of the area for copper - nickel - platinum group metals deposits. The recent increase in the price of palladium, which has gone from $120 (U.S.) per ounce at the beginning of 1997 to over $400 (U.S.) per ounce in recent trading, and the worries about supply problems from Russia (Russia accounts for approximately 60 per cent of the world's palladium supply) encourage the company in its quest for strategic properties which may host platinum group metals deposits. Palladium is a metal which is vital in making mobile phones, laptop computers and anti-pollution vehicle catalysts.
