Royal Standard to drill at Pinon-Railroad

2007-01-16 10:01 ET - News Release

Mr. Roland Larsen reports

ROYAL STANDARD MINERALS INC.: POTENTIAL FOR LARGE COPPER OXIDE PLAY SOUTH OF THE NEAR SURFACE GOLD OXIDE DEPOSITS ON THE RAILROAD PROPERTY, ELKO COUNTY NEVADA

Royal Standard Minerals Inc. owns a project in the Railroad mining district, which represents the northern portion of the approximately 17,000-acre land package contained within the Pinon-Railroad project area located south of Newmont Gold's Rain mining district in Elko county, Nevada. RSM has a 100-per-cent interest in this project that has concentrated upon the proposed development of open pit oxide and exploration for deeper underground potential targets for Carlin-type gold-silver deposits. RSM is currently engaged in the federal and state permit process to develop several near-surface oxide gold-silver deposits on this property package according to Roland Larsen, qualified person, NI 43-101.

Based upon the results of drilling and previous skarn-hosted base and precious metal production, the company believes that there is an opportunity for significant copper resources that will include additional base and precious metal credits occurring south of and adjacent to the near-surface gold deposits in this area. As in a previously reported in Stockwatch Sept. 20, 2005, a number of drill holes that intersected long sections of copper oxide and associated base and precious metal mineralization during the gold exploration effort are listed as follows:

* KC99-14: 100 feet of 0.630 per cent copper;
* KC99-17: 400 feet of 0.432 per cent copper;
* KC99-19: 60 feet of 0.834 per cent copper;
* KC98-49: 250 feet of 0.262 per cent copper;
* AR-6: 130 feet of 0.52 per cent copper;
* AR-7: 60 feet of 0.75 per cent copper; and
* AR-8: 87 feet of 0.51 per cent copper.

RSM commenced a ground magnetics survey and surface alteration mapping program in late September, 2006, that was completed in December, 2006. The initial ground magnetics program that includes more than four square miles, based upon the data, represents the largest ground survey to date on this property. This effort incorporated all previous smaller patchwork surveys completed by others within the new coverage area.

The results of this effort have been an eye-opener for the company indicating that the Bullion intrusion central core reveals a well-developed circular-oval magnetic signature that is flanked by a large area on the northeast side of the intrusion that is approximately 1.5 square miles in size is believed to be a large alteration zone. The entire magnetite skarn prospective area includes more than 2.5 square miles. The northeast magnetic response in this area indicates a disruption in the pattern possibly indicating alteration of one of the intrusive phases of the Bullion stock. This anomaly is on the order of two miles long north to south and one mile wide east to west. The copper intercepts indicated above occur on the extreme north-northeastern margin of this anomaly. The southern-southwestern edge of this anomaly contains the Railroad district where the high-grade near-surface skarn-hosted copper-lead-zinc-silver-gold mines are located. This district has produced significant copper, silver, lead, zinc and gold during the late 19th and the early portion of the 20th century. Prior production from several small underground mines indicated copper and silver-lead-zinc from skarn and pipe-like replacement deposits. From 1869 into the 1930s and minor production after that, the following metals were produced from various mines in the Railroad district to include: seven million pounds of copper, 36,000 ounces of gold, 25 million pounds of lead, 1.2 million ounces of silver and 442,000 pounds of zinc. Most of this production was from the area south of the Bald Mountain fault, Rayias, 1999.

Within the area that is bounded by the significant base and precious metal occurrences mentioned above, an area on the order of 1.5 square miles indicates no previous drilling of any significance exists between the northern copper-gold mineralization and the Railroad skarn base and precious metal district more than two miles to the south, this area is essentially untested. The company believes that there is a strong indication that this area is prospective for more of the copper-gold-silver and other base metal mineralization as indicated.

The aerial dimensions and signature of this geophysical response is analogous to other alteration patterns of productive copper-bearing skarn systems in North and South America such as Battle Mountain, Yerington and Robinson, Nev., as well as a South American analogues such as the Tintaya skarn belt of southern Peru. RSM is very encouraged in regard to the magnitude of the intrusive-skarn-related base and precious metal potential of this area, the company believes that these results suggest the potential for a large-scale copper-bearing porphyry/skarn system in this area.

The initial focus of the RSM copper exploration effort will be to offset the drill holes listed above toward the south to the Railroad district deposits on the southern portion of this anomaly. This effort will result in drilling on the north and south of the Bald Mountain fault about one mile south of the near-surface gold-oxide deposits currently under study for future development.

At this time, the relationships between the skarn base and precious metals deposits and the heavily drill-tested near-surface oxide gold-silver deposits is to be determined. It is clear on the northern portion of this geophysical anomaly the copper-gold system is spacially related to the gold-silver deposits.

RSM has received its drill permits from the BLM to commence testing the copper target on the Railroad property, Elko county, Nevada. There will be some adjustments to the placements of the drill holes on this first phase of drilling. The company has contracts in from one Nevada core driller for this project. RSM is currently negotiating for additional core drills for the Railroad and other projects in Nevada, the plan is to commence drilling as soon as possible.

We seek Safe Harbor.

Die Umsätze der letzten beiden Wochen lassen zu wünschen übrig - mit der heutigen News hat das nicht viel zu tun.

Ich denke wenn es losgeht hier, kommt man nicht mehr vorher rein und wird den Anstieg verpassen - siehe Aurelian!

Schöner UP-MOVE gestern!

I checked my "hit stats" for TheSimpleInvestor.ca website today.

Our counter gives a lot of information and guess what, the third most popular search phrase for those who ended up at my website (after "the simple investor" and "simple investor") was "royal standard minerals".

This is the first time I can remember RSM being so actively "searched" by those visiting my website.

The next stocks "searched" that found my website were Acadian Gold and Impact Silver.

I think something is up.

I sold 2/3 of my RSM shares months ago in the 80s and am fully invested and happy with my current PF, but for those who like this stock averaging down a bit could be timely??

RSM: More on the Potential for Large Copper Oxide Targets South of the Near Surface Gold Oxide Deposits on the Railroad Property, Elko County Nevada

MANHATTAN, NEVADA--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 6, 2007) - Royal Standard Minerals Inc. ("RSM")(TSX VENTURE:RSM)(OTCBB:RYSMF) announces additional results based upon interpretations of the recently completed ground magnetic survey in the Railroad district as presented in a press release dated January 16, 2007. The Company has continued to evaluate the magnetic data on the property spanning more than four square miles of coverage including the re-evaluation of all rock and soil geochemistry collected within the immediate vicinity of the Bullion stock. Specifically, the magnetic data has identified for the first time, a well-defined annular magnetic high reflecting the Bullion stock, a central porphyritic intrusive ringed by extensive previously unidentified magnetic skarn horizons. Analysis of previously collected soil and rock geochemistry has revealed significant copper and gold anomaly trends directly related to the magnetite skarn horizons flanking the central Bullion stock.

It is the position of the Company that these copper and magnetic anomalies are associated with known base and precious metal mineralization based upon prior drilling and mining activity, according to qualified person, Roland M. Larsen. The magnetic survey, in addition to defining the central stock, has revealed a large "magnetic low" flanking the northeast side of the Bullion stock representing, based upon the copper-gold mineralization occurring as oxide in the drilling results to the north, and prior base and precious metal production extending one mile to the south, an extensive altered copper-gold bearing phase of the Bullion stock. Soil and rock geochemistry collected within this broad zone, reveal an extensive northeast - southwest trending copper anomaly containing outcropping copper and gold mineralization tracking with the "magnetic low" and magnetite skarn horizons readily detectable in the ground magnetic data. This area is largely untested; the plan is to commence the drilling program in this area.

In addition to the above, this recent geophysical program has mapped an aerially extensive porphyry Cu and magnetite Cu-Au skarn system that is proximal to the Bullion stock. Specifically, the ground magnetic survey identified a minimum of four significant magnetic anomalies representing drill targets that are spatially or directly associated with outcrop potential quality grade Cu-Au mineralization and a small number of strategic drill hole intersections of copper-gold and other base metals north of and more than one (1) mile south of the Bald Mountain Fault that serve to confirm the potential of the untested anomalies. This area is very under explored and will require a large drilling program in order to determine the mineral potential of this target area.

On the northern periphery of the central Bullion stock, an extensive magnetic anomaly has been identified and extends to the east traversing both sides of the Bald Mountain fault which coalesces into the structurally controlled "alteration low" (altered phase of the Bullion stock) as previously identified above in this press release. The strike length of this zone spans more than one mile, and is 1/2 wide, representing magnetite skarn and intrusive where a single exploration drill hole intersected significant Cu-Au mineralization as previously reported. Obviously, this area remains untested with drilling.

All of the above-mentioned anomalous magnetic target zones represent a significant Cu bearing skarn system positioned above or adjacent to a potential Cu (with Mo) bearing porphyry intrusive. These magnetic target zones are largely untested by previous exploration drilling, however, the available drill data has served to identify the potential for copper resources when coupled with the identification of significant magnetic anomalies within each target area.

A similar pattern of magnetic anomalies occur on the most southern end of the Bullion stock and has been identified with an anomalous zone of copper soil geochemistry containing outcropping copper mineralization. This target area and associated magnetite-skarn anomalies are largely untested, particularly at depth.

All of the above-mentioned magnetic anomalies coupled with significant copper in soils and rocks represent and delineate a significant copper bearing system adjacent to a central Cu (with Mo) bearing porphyry intrusive. All target zones identified in this press release are largely untested by previous exploration drilling, however, all available drill and geochemistry data has served to identify the significant resource potential of this property.

The overall exploration strategy, in addition to follow-up drilling of copper mineralization intersected in previous drilling, is to target the significant magnetic anomalies known to represent magnetite skarn horizons which in themselves can constitute economic grade material and ultimately lead to identifying significant porphyry copper mineralization adjacent to or beneath the magnetite replacement skarn bodies. This strategy was successfully deployed during the reevaluation of the Tintaya skarn belt, located in southern Peru, where the discovery of a porphyry copper deposit and related ore grade magnetite - copper skarn deposit resulted in a major change in the size and the economic potential of copper deposits in this area.

Royal Standard Minerals Inc.: Goldwedge Project Progress, Nye County, Nevada

MANHATTAN, NEVADA--(CCNMatthews - Feb. 8, 2007) - Royal Standard Minerals Inc. ("RSM") (TSX VENTURE:RSM)(OTCBB:RYSMF). Goldwedge project underground development program has continued without interruption. Considerable time in January, 2007 has been spent constructing pipelines and increasing the pumping capacity for a water handling system to remove the mine water as part of the decline development program. This system should place the operation in a position of controlling the water along with the grouting program that will result in an increase in mine development productivity going forward, according to qualified person, Roland M. Larsen.

In the plant, the regrinding facilities to include two ball mills, thickener tank(s) and the addition of more gravity concentration capacity is nearly all in place. Cold weather has affected the pouring and curing of concrete, however, progress on the facility and the construction of the new water handling system that will utilize the recently installed water tank to supply water via a gravity feed to the plant is nearly completed. Our objective is to complete the installation of the ball mills, the concentrator and thickener tank(s) installation this month.

A recent metallurgical gravity recovery test report completed by Knelson Research & Technology Centre of Langley, BC indicated that the approximately 76 % recovery of the total contained gold in the test samples. (This work followed a recent test by Metcon of Tucson, AZ that focused upon a flotation recovery test of the same sample that indicated that approximately 95.5% of the gold and silver can be recovered through flotation with a grind of 80% minus 100 mesh test.) In the Knelson test approximately 24% of the gold remained in the fine tails within the fine fraction. Of this total 14.1% of the gold in the tails is contained within the minus 500 mesh fraction and the remaining 9.9% gold in the tails occurs within the size fractions minus100- +500 mesh fractions. The gold in the fine tails occurs as free fine gold with a significant proportion in water suspension, the company believes that the most of this gold can be recovered via concentration using high gravity concentration followed by thickener tank concentration and filtration of this material. The final filtered concentrate and gold recovery will be achieved by tabling this material. Our estimates are that a 93-95% total gold recovery can be achieved with a process that does not include a flotation circuit.

Dutton Associates Announces Investment Opinion: Royal Standard Strong Speculative Buy Rating in Initiating Coverage by Dutton Associates

17:17 26.02.07

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dutton Associates initiates its coverage of Royal Standard Minerals
(OTCBB:RYSMF) with a rating of Strong Speculative Buy and a target price
at $3.00. The 22-page report by Dutton senior analyst Mike Niehuser is
available at http://www.jmdutton.com as
well as from First Call, Bloomberg, Zacks, Reuters, Knobias, and other
leading financial portals.

Royal Standard Minerals has several advanced-stage projects in
gold-producing districts in Nevada. Management as been active in Nevada
for over 10 years and has put together one of the largest land positions
of any junior mining company in the state. Royal Standard’s
most advanced project, the Goldwedge Project, is near the
Kinross-Barrick Round Mountain Mine and is scheduled to move into
production in the next several months. The Company also has several
projects in Nevada’s Carlin Trend that are in
various stages of permitting and exploration. We are initiating coverage
of Royal Standard with a 12-month price target of $3.00 per share. This
value incorporates our estimations of the middle range of estimates for
the Company’s projects. As companies with
projects in various stages of development carry unique risks, and many
of our assumptions are speculative, we feel our target is reasonable. We
are certainly of the opinion that the market should respond favorably to
the Goldwedge project moving into production. We would expect that its
progress may overshadow permitting and exploration at the Railroad-Piñon
Project, but in the next 12 months, the Company and its projects will
enjoy a higher level of exposure and valuation. We are initiating
coverage with a Strong Speculative Buy recommendation. With successful
execution of the Company’s opportunities, our
target might prove conservative.

On page 18, they mention production start-up in March, 2007!!!

"Its Goldwedge Project appears to be rapidly approaching production."

100.000 Tonnen liegen bereits auf Halde (durchschnittlicher Goldgehalt 0,31 ounce = 31.000 Unzen warten auf die Verarbeitung.

"At current metal prices and assuming costs of production of $150 to $200 per ounce, at the current shares outstanding, the Goldwedge could be valued at 2.50 per share"

Sehr gutes Posting aus einem anderen Board:

Ich halte seit geraumer Zeit laufenden Kontakt mit dem Management und mit den Dissidents. Die derzeitige Lage stellt sich wie folgt dar:

1.) Die Mannschaft der Miners in Goldwedge wurde im Januar kräftig aufgestockt.

2.) Das Decline hat inzwischen die High Grade Zone erreicht. Hochgradig vererztes Gestein wird abgebaut und gemahlen.

3.) Der langersehnte Produktionsstart findet innerhalb der nächsten 4 Wochen statt. Bei den aktuellen Kursen wird dies mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit kein Non-Event bleiben.

4.) Die von der Anlage erbrachte und von externen Labore bestätigte Recovery Rate entspricht nahezu dem Optimum.

5.) Die Kapazität der Anlage wurde unbemerkt von der Anlegerschaft extrem vergrößert.

6.)Seit Mitte letzten Jahres wird neben dem Vortrieb im Berg jeden Tag im Zweischichtbetrieb mineralhaltiges Gestein abgebaut, gemahlen und auf Halde gefahren.
Die Lagerkapazität des hierfür eingeebneten Geländes ist nahezu erschöpft.

7.) Larsen hat es völlig in der Hand wie groß der erste Poor sein soll. Er braucht mit seinem Kipplader ja nur die High Grade Halden anzufahren und dieses Material durch die Anlage zu jagen.

8.) Die Barmittel der Gesellschaft reichen bei weitem um ein weiteres Projekt in der Größenordnung von Fondaway in Produktion zu bringen.

9.) Die aktuellen Verhandlungen über ein JV mit einem ausländischen Minenunternehmen lassen in Hinsicht auf Railroad ebenfalls zumindest kursrelevante Fantasie aufkommen.

10.) Wenn überhaupt noch mit dem Versammlungstermin im Mai gerechnet werden kann, so ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit sehr hoch, dass es sich um eine stinknormale ordentliche Hauptversammlung handeln wird. Die Dissidents scheinen insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der laufenden JV-Verhandlungen ihren Schwanz eingezogen zu haben und haben nach meinem Eindruck fertig.

Ob nun der Goldpreis jetzt, oder in zwei Monaten die 670$ Marke nachhaltig durchbricht ist für RSM völlig unerheblich.

Aus fundamentaler Sicht heraus ist in RSM nach meiner Überzeugung kurz- und langfristig sehr hohes Kurspotenzial auszumachen.

Es wäre schade, wenn zuerst Daytrader dies alles erkennen und den in Mitleidenschaft geratenen Langzeitaktionären günstige Nachkaufgelegenheiten verteuern.

Eine kritische Betrachtung eines Investments ist immer richtig!!!
Man sollte jedoch erkennen können, wann positive Faktoren die Überhand gewinnen. Es sind halt nicht immer News Releases und nackte Zahlen die den Kurs ausmachen.

DIE UHR TICKT!

Diesen Monat!
