Tagalder Incorporated - Regal Goldfields To Spend $250,000 On Tagalder's 1998 Kiglapait/Labrador Nickel Exploration Prog
TORONTO, ONTARIO - Tagalder Incorporated today announced that Regal Goldfields will spend $250,000 to finance Tagalder's 1998 exploration program on its Labrador nickel-copper-cobalt exploration properties. Regal will earn a 25 percent interest in the properties and has the right to spend an additional $1.5 million on exploration in 1999 and 2000, for which it can earn an additional 50 percent. The agreement between Regal and Tagalder supersedes a funding agreement announced April 21, 1998, between Tagalder and a group of private investors.
Tagalder's Kiglapait properties comprise 277 claims over 6,925 ha and are located approximately 100 km northeast of the original Voisey's Bay nickel-copper discovery. The claim group, while almost completely overlain by the Labrador Sea, is interpreted to cover part of the basal portion of the Kiglapait Intrusion, one of a series of troctolitic intrusions belonging to the Nain Plutonic Suite. Tagalder controls 14 km of strike length along the basal portion of the Kiglapait Intrusion. The remainder of the intrusion, currently controlled by Inco, was staked by Diamond Fields Resources after its Voisey's Bay discovery as it has a geological structure very similar to that of Voisey's Bay.
The 1998 exploration program will focus on the significant anomalies delineated by a 1996 aerial magnetometer survey. Watts, Griffis and McOuat Limited, Consulting Geologists and Engineers, will carry out the exploration work which includes: initial reconnaissance to map and sample the basal part of the intrusion as exposed along the shore and on the small islands in the claims; confirmation of drill sites in the vicinity of the magnetic anomalies; an initial 400 m diamond drillhole to test the basal part of the intrusion in the area of one of the magnetic anomalies; and a down-hole EM survey to explore for the presence of off-hole conductors. Funding is available for additional drilling should initial drill results merit further work.
Tagalder is also negotiating the financing of its commercial-scale cattle embryo transfer and dairy project in Northern China designed to produce high-quality beef, dairy products and breeding stock. In anticipation of the expansion of its successful pilot project, Tagalder is pleased to announce the appointment of two new members to its Board of Directors: George Mitrovich, President of ProForma Consulting, has extensive experience in the manufacture and distribution of food products, and Albert Brown is a Senior Director of J.J. Barnicke Limited. Gary Lovie and Herb Lee have resigned as Directors, however Gary Lovie will remain active with the company as Vice President.
