CaNickel Mining Ltd.

Vancouver, British Columbia --- September 30, 2011 --- CaNickel Mining Ltd. ("CaNickel" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has been granted by the Manitoba government a revised Environment Act Licence (the "Licence") to construct and operate a land based tailing management area (the "TMA") at its Bucko Lake Mine, Wabowden, Manitoba.

The TMA is an expansion of the existing Interim Tailing Storage Facility (the "ITSF") and has a footprint of approximately 68.5 hectares to store all tailing from Bucko Lake Mine for the remainder of its existing mine life. Environmental studies indicated that the TMA would have a net benefit in relation to environmental impact, eliminating the need for sub-aqueous deposition of the tailing into Bucko Lake. The Construction of the TMA will be carried in two phases and the phase I construction is underway and expected to be completed by end of 2011 or early 2012.

"The granting of this License is a significant achievement for the Company." said Dr. Dianmin Chen, CEO of CaNickel. "The tailing storage issue concerning the Company over the past several years would now be resolved, and we are able to secure the privilege to continue to advance our strategic plan and ramp up and expand the operation at Bucko Lake Mine and to develop the untapped resources in the Company's projects in the Thompson Nickel Belts. We thank the Manitoba government and local community for their continued support to the Company." Read more...
                                       
 

Copper Reef Mining Corporation

March 7, 2011. Copper Reef Mining Corporation (CNSX: CZC) (the "Issuer") is pleased to provide an update on the Company in light of its recent transactions and private placements. Three major events have placed Copper Reef in a much improved financial position which now permits it to begin realizing its potential. Firstly, the transaction with Foran Mining Corporation which saw Copper Reef sell its 25% ownership in the Hanson Lake Joint Venture while retaining the all important royalty on the McIlvenna deposit, any additions to its tonnage or any new discoveries on the property. In this asset exchange transaction Copper Reef, in addition to its retained Royalty, received $1,000,000 in cash, four million shares of Foran, and five major Manitoba properties all with large copper, zinc and gold potential.
 
Every one of these properties contained an undefined tonnage or significant intersections of copper and zinc. The exception to this is the Smelter Claims lying just north of Hudbay Mineral’s Triple 7 head frame and the Callinan orebodies, which are currently being drilled, are located in the only portion of this stratigraphy not controlled by Hudbay. Secondly, upon acquiring the Smelter Claims, Copper Reef was able to arrange a private placement with Hudbay Minerals for $1,000,000 at $0.15 per share with a $0.15 warrant exercisable within 6 months.

Jiminex Inc.

February 3, 2011 – Pass Lake, Ontario - James R. B. Parres, President & CEO of Jiminex Inc. is pleased to provide an update on the current exploration activities. Geochemical analyses from drill samples from the Snow Lake, Manitoba property have been received from TSL Laboratories, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and have been evaluated by the Company. Highlights include a 0.25 metre section from drill hole P10-3 which returned 1.8% copper and 1.51 grams per tonne gold from an intermediate volcanic tuff located at a hole depth of 132.50 to 132.75 metres.
 
Mr. Parres commented "The interesting copper intersection in hole P10-3 as well as the conductive zones containing anomalous geochemical values in copper and/or zinc in holes P10-1, -2, -3 and -5 require further evaluation. We intend to undertake further drilling to follow up on this copper intersection along strike as well as on several other anomalies not accessible before freeze-up.
 
Meanwhile, we are continuing with two drills active at our Hemlo property and are in the process of preparing a winter drill camp for our Pickle Lake drill program."
 
The majority of the conductors were determined to be 0.5 to 1.5 metre semi-massive (20-50%) pyrrhotite and pyrite zones in andesitic-dacitic-rhyolitic volcanic rocks. Six conductive zones in 4 holes had geochemically-anomalous values (greater than 500 ppm for copper and greater than 1000 ppm for zinc) in copper and/or zinc over widths varying from 0.25 up to 1.55 metres. The first phase of drilling on the Parres property in late 2010 consisted of drilling eight holes located into 9 VTEM airborne geophysical anomalies. Drill core totaling 1,847 metres was recovered and a total of 326 samples were sent to TSL laboratories for ICP-MS multi-element geochemical analysis. Copper, zinc, silver and gold were included in the 37 element analysis. Read more...
                     

Nanika Resources Inc. 

VANCOUVER, June 24 /CNW/ - Nanika Resources Inc. (TSX-V: NKA and FSE: C7X) today announces that it has received assay results for the exploration program on Nanika's 100% owned Herb Lake property in Manitoba. Phase 1 of the work program included extensive prospecting, mapping and sampling. During the program a geological map in the scale of 1:10,000 was prepared.
 
The map will provide guidance in designing any future geophysical programs. Thirteen grab samples were collected and one of the samples collected during the program assayed 0.17% copper. The sample consists of disseminated chalcopyrite within metamorphosed volcanic rock. Nanika's geological staff believes the sample represents VMS type mineralization. None of the other samples returned significant values.
 
The Herb Lake property is located approximately 25 kilometers south of Snow Lake, Manitoba. Nanika's Herb Lake property is comprised of eleven mineral claims on approximately 5,930 acres to the immediate north of the Copperman Project of VMS Ventures Inc. (TSXV-VMS). Read more...
