Canadian Arrow drills sulphide mineralization at Glatz nickel project

Canadian Arrow drills sulphide mineralization at Glatz nickel project 08:59 EST Thursday, November 19, 2009

SUDBURY, ON, Nov. 19 /CNW/ - Canadian Arrow Mines Limited (CRO: TSX-V) (the "Company") is pleased to report it has intersected sulphide mineralization on its Glatz nickel copper project located 40 km south of Dryden Ontario and 70 km east of its flagship Kenbridge advanced nickel copper project.

Diamond drill hole GZ-09-02 intersected coarse blebby and finely disseminated sulphides from surface to the 90m interval. The mineralization is consistent with that displayed in trenches and outcrop exposures occurring at surface above the hole.

More significantly it also intercepted vein and stringer breccia sulphide bands over a 12m down-hole interval between 41.0m and 53.0m.

Initial examination of the core has identified encouraging widespread magmatic sulphide mineralization associated with breccia zones within a gabbro and pyroxenite intrusion. The geological model bears a resemblance to the Company's Kenbridge nickel-copper deposit. The Kenbridge deposit is also characterized by near-surface, wide-spread disseminated nickel-copper sulphide mineralization suitable for open pit extraction that resolves at depth into narrower, high grade semi-massive lenses and disseminated mineralization suitable for underground extraction.

Kenbridge and Glatz are only two of the 23 recorded nickel-copper sulphide bearing occurrences hosted within the same 220km ring of volcanics and ultramafic intrusives located between Dryden and Kenora, Ontario.

To date two NQ size holes have been logged and sampled for a total of 416m. Core samples have been split and sent out for analyses at an accredited laboratory in accordance with NI 43-101 best practice guidelines. No estimation can be concluded at this time of the extent or true widths of the mineralization. Additional drilling has been allocated to follow up on the mineralization.

Hole GZ-09-02 was drilled on coordinates 26+00N at 45+35E, at an azimuth of 180 degrees and a dip 0f -60 degrees. Hole GZ-09-01 was drilled on coordinates 26+00N and 45+85E at an azimuth of 180 degrees and a dip of -60 degrees. The hole was drilled through the northern intrusive/volcanic contact. Although sulphide mineralization is weak, the presence of variable sulphide, potassic, chloritic and silica alteration are interpreted to be distal vector indicators of a regional mineralization package.

The Glatz Property is the first of six targets to be drilled on the Turtlepond Lake Group of projects. The Turtlepond Lake Group consists of three previously under-explored historic nickel-copper occurrences, (Glatz, Emmons and Prigg), coincident with recently surveyed electromagnetic conductor/magnetic anomalies, and three other newly discovered geophysical targets, North Glatz, Night Danger, and Double E. All targets are clustered within 1.5 km of each other and occur within a few kilometres either side of highway 502.

The exploration program is being carried out under the direction of The Company's Vice President of Exploration, Mr. Todd Keast P. Geo., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The information in this release was prepared under the direction of Mr. Kim Tyler, P. Geo., President of the Company, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Canadian Arrow starts drilling Glatz Nickel Project

cnw


SUDBURY, ON, Nov. 9 /CNW/ - Canadian Arrow Mines Limited (CRO: TSX-V) (the "Company") announces it has begun diamond drilling the first of its high priority Turtlepond area nickel-copper projects located 40 km south of Dryden in northwestern Ontario. Over twelve first-pass holes are planned totaling 2,500 metres of drilling over six priority targets. The Turtlepond Lake Group consists of three previously under-explored historic nickel-copper occurrences, (Glatz, Emmons and Prigg), coincident with recently surveyed electromagnetic conductor/magnetic anomalies, and three other newly discovered geophysical targets, North Glatz, Night Danger, and Double E. All targets are clustered within 1.5 km of each other and occur within a few kilometres either side of highway 502.


The Glatz Property is the first of these targets to be drilled and will consist of four holes for an approximate total of 800 metres of NQ core. Mechanical trenching and ground geophysical surveys on the Glatz showing have delineated two parallel zones of mineralization which extend for 900 m and 700 m in length respectively. Widespread disseminated and blebby nickel-copper-iron sulphide mineralization has been exposed and channel sampled along both trends. Both anomalies are coincident with airborne geophysical anomalies and have not yet been drill tested. An 800m long VTEM anomaly is associated with the Glatz showing and eleven conductive targets have been identified. In 2007 Arrow investigated a series of historical trenches along this geophysical trend with grab sample assay results ranging between trace to 1.28% Ni, and trace to 4.56% Cu. More detail on the Glatz Property can be viewed on the company's website at:

Canadian Arrow prepares to drill nickel projects

cnw

SUDBURY, ON, Oct. 5 /CNW/ - Canadian Arrow Mines Limited (CRO: TSX-V) (the "Company") having recently completed a $1.83M financing is pleased to provide an update on the exploration programs planned on its nickel-copper properties located in northwestern Ontario.


"Over $1.5M is to be expended on resumption of our exploration activities," comments Company President Kim Tyler. "First pass drilling programs are prepared to evaluate the six highest priority targets on our regional projects in addition to drilling proposed on the open extensions of our flag-ship Kenbridge nickel/copper deposit."


The initial focus will be on the Turtlepond Lake group of projects located about 40 km south of Dryden, Ontario and 70 km east of Kenbridge. The Turtlepond Lake Group consists of three previously under-explored historic nickel-copper occurrences, (Glatz, Emmons and Prigg), coincident with recently surveyed electromagnetic conductor/magnetic anomalies, and three other newly discovered geophysical targets, North Glatz, Night Danger, and Double E. All targets are clustered within 1.5 km of each other. A map detailing the Turtlepond projects can be viewed on the Company's website at:


http://www.canadianarrowmines.ca/turtlepond_lake_projects/.

- This company has connections to very well funded mining operations through decades of experience. I believe Mr. Tyler when he says they are speaking with 5 strategic partners for completion of there project through joint ventures. Joint venture speculation could drive our sp into a frenzy.

- The drill program which comprised our 253 million dollar property is open at depth and further drilling could significantly increase the resource. Some of our strongest results were on outer edges of the drill zone. De-watering of the 2500 meter mine shaft will allow them to get at these areas. The intersection I speak of is the 7% nickel over 5 meters that intersection comes from the end of the drill core. Further exploration could offer up amazing results. 0 summer 2008 drill results out, any significant finds in mine ready atikocan or kenora/dryden properties will lift stock.

- The company has contractual agreements with Opiwica explorations (OPW) on the TSX.V to mill there major gold and copper find with in close proximity of Canadian Arrows Planned site. Mining could begin on both projects in early 2010. This represents earnings and is a good partnership for a company seeking to be the next significant Nickel Copper producer in Canada.

- Canadian Arrow has the ability to produce nickel in its mine at 3.47 per pound nickel. That kind of number is unheard of in comparison to other mines. With production scheduled for early 2010 (around the same time our economy should be significantly rebounding) what if nickel prices return back to 15 dollars per pound? This site will look like a gem to any investor! (plus the property would be worth about 400mil at 15 dollars per pound nickel.

This is just a few of the key points that I believe make this company look attractive. If my predictions are correct we will see a significant rebound to normal multiples over the course of the next couple of months and with any significant news pertaining to my points and our sp and volume will be sent soaring. JV with cash on the books and abilitiy to help put project into production will send our sp back to .50 if not higher! I am Bull on Canadian Arrow mines.

Stocks fall sharply on economic recovery worries, tech sector downgrade

Stocks fall sharply on economic recovery worries, tech sector downgrade
11:40 November 19, 2009, EDT.
(Canadian Press)


TORONTO - A fresh round of economic pessimism sent North American stock markets sharply lower late Thursday morning.

The S&P/TSX composite index fell 167.2 points to 11,485.5 amid a warning about the economic recovery and concerns about the financial and tech sectors.

The Dow Jones industrial average was down 161.4 points to 10,265.

The Canadian dollar gave back 1.21 cents to 93.62 cents US.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development increased its forecast for economic growth in 2010 in its 30 member countries, but cautioned that any recovery will be slow and bumpy because of high unemployment. The Paris-based group said unemployment is not expected to peak until the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011.

"There shouldn't be a surprise there: we've been talking for some time that we thought that the recovery - although under way - would be a bumpy one and we weren't looking for a V-shaped recovery or things to go up in a straight line," said Steve Uzielli, portfolio manager, director at ScotiaMcLeod Equity Advisory.

"This is not a normal recession so we shouldn't anticipate a so-called normal recovery."

The financial sector moved down 1.67 per cent after Manulife Financial Corp. (TSX:MFC) said it is raising $2.5 billion to restore the Toronto insurer's balance sheet. The company will issue about 132 million shares at $19 each. Its shares fell $1.50 to $18.68 while Sun Life Financial shares dropped $1.36 to $27.34.

Concerns about the financial sector also rose after Japan's biggest bank, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, said it plans to raise US$11.2 billion to shore up its balance sheet.

The tech sector was down 0.75 per cent after Bank of America Merrill Lynch downgraded eight microchip companies, including Intel and Texas Instruments. The downgrade came amid worries that inventories are too high unless there's a sharp economic upturn.

In New York, Intel shares fell $1.12 to US$19 while Texas Instruments dropped $1.07 to US$24.68 while on the TSX, Research In Motion Ltd. (TSX:RIM) stepped back $1.24 to $62.01 after losing $1.28 Wednesday in the wake of a downgrade to market perform from outperform by BMO Capital Markets analyst Tim Long.

Commodity prices were lower as the December crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange lost $2.38 to US$77.20 a barrel. The energy sector lost 1.56 per cent with EnCana Corp. (TSX:ECA) down $1.15 to $56.70.

The gold sector was off 1.18 per cent as the December bullion contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange dipped $7.40 from Wednesday's latest record close to US$1,133.80 an ounce. Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) faded 68 cents to $45.68.

The base metals sector declined 2.06 per cent while December copper was down four cents at US$3.07 a pound. Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B) gave back 72 cents to $36.07.

The TSX Venture Exchange moved 11.73 points lower to 1,382.33.

New York markets were also depressed as a private forecast of economic activity over the next six months edged up less than expected in October, signalling slow growth next year.

The Conference Board says its index of leading economic indicators rose 0.3 per cent last month. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had expected a 0.5 per cent gain.

The Nasdaq composite index declined 49.93 points to 2,143.21 while the S&P 500 index fell 20.3 points to 1,089.5.

Investors also took in data showing that lost jobs, rather than subprime loans made during the housing boom, are now the main reason U.S. homeowners fall behind on their mortgages.

The Mortgage Bankers Association said fixed-rate home loans made to people with good credit accounted for nearly 33 per cent of new foreclosures last quarter. That compares with just 21 per cent a year ago, when high-risk loans made during the housing boom were the main reason for default.

At the same time, the proportion of homeowners with a mortgage who were either behind on their payments or in foreclosure hit a record-high for the ninth straight quarter.

In other news, struggling Internet company AOL Inc. plans to cut about a third of its workers if its planned spinoff from Time Warner Inc. goes through. That would amount to nearly 2,300 of the roughly 6,900 total employees. AOL hopes to trim annual costs by about $300 million.

Fertilizer company Agrium Inc. (TSX:AGU) said that stockholders of CF Industries Holdings had tendered 62 per cent of outstanding CF shares to its takeover offer as of its expiration Wednesday night. The offer is valued at $5.1 billion. Agrium shares dipped 62 cents to $59.41.

Units in Priszm Income Fund (TSX:QSR.UN) plummeted 37 cents or 30.08 per cent to 86 cents after it announced it had suspended its monthly distribution to unitholders in an efforts to increase its cash position. Priszm, which operates and franchises KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut restaurants in Canada, said it needed cash to fund capital programs required by franchise renewals with Yum! Restaurants International.

In overseas trading, London's FTSE 100 index was off 1.47 per cent, Frankfurt's DAX was down 1.52 per cent while the Paris CAC 40 declined 1.92 per cent.

Earlier, Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average lost 1.3 per cent - its seventh straight day of decline as investors succumbed to jitters about a possible glut of new bank shares after Mitsubishi UFJ announced plans to raise capital.

Elsewhere, Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.9 per cent.
