North Bay Resources Inc. announce that the Company is initiating its 2021 exploration season at its 100% owned Tulameen Platinum Project in southeastern British Columbia. This is a continuation of recent work the Company performed in 2018 that identified an exploration target of an estimated 135 million tonnes of olivine in the PGM mineralized areas of the property. Rock samples collected in 2018 exploration program resulted in assays up to 0.509 g/t platinum, over 0.12% nickel, 0.01% cobalt, and chromium assays greater than 1%. More significantly, magnesium grades have been shown to consistently average 25% throughout the deposit (approximately 40% magnesium oxide equivalent). Magnesium demand is high, as it is on the list of 35 strategic metals published in the Federal Register that the US government considers critical to the economic and national security of the United States, due partly to its reputation as a "defense metal". Magnesium is one of the lightest structural metal materials, and is considered an essential structural material for the production of spacecraft, military aircraft, missiles, high-mobility vehicles and ships. It is also widely used in manufacturing flares and incendiary bombs because of its high heat and light when it burns. As well, the company note that along with increased demand magnesium prices have been rising, and have averaged over $4,500 US per tonne in Fiscal Year 2021. The mineral olivine has been well studied and documented for over 30 years to also have CO2 sequestration properties through a natural chemical process known as mineral carbonation. Prior research and testing has demonstrated that as much as 1.25 tonnes of CO2 (S.J.T. Hangx and C.J. Spiers, 2008) can be captured and stored by a single tonne of olivine. Thus, with as much as 135 million tonnes hosted within the Tulameen deposit, it can potentially remove as much as 168 million metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere if the entire deposit is utilized for carbon removal purposes. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, both in-situ and ex-situ, and can be combined with other synchronistic technologies such as Direct Air Capture (DAC), enhanced rock weathering (ERW) for agricultural applications, etc. Any CO2 sequestered in this way can then be monetized through the sale of carbon removal credits, not only to government entities, but also to private companies around the world who have recently pledged billions of dollars to the goal of reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a potential solution to global warming.
