for my complete article go here
http://www.aheadoftheherd.com/Newsle...r_ventures.htm
but i want to point out a few things.
First off the 5k blue trend line is open at both ends.
Do you see the grey cliff face just up and to the left of the yellow blob marking the NE Extension? that sharp slope dipping at 50 degrees off to the west is the same attitude as the fault.
When you start to add it all up you quickly realize that with mineralization spread out over so big an area whatever created this thing was huge. Hopefully drilling intersects a few sweet spots.
Snow is starting to fall at higher elevations and instead of slamming in roads they will likely use helicopters to get drilling going.
I expect the PP to close this week, maybe next. There are drills sitting, available right now.

Hi
I like this one, I really like this one. Heres why...
The strike length could be 5km long, 95m deep and 200m wide. Specific gravity of 2.4 and an average grade of 1 gpt. Theres also bluesky in the fact that the length could be longer seeing as they haven't checked the next valley yet.
5000m x 95m x 200m x 2.4 = 228,000,000 grams / 31.1 = 7.33 million ozs gold. This is best case for now - barring further discovery.
Lets look at what they think they have now, that would be the increased length to 3000m.
3000m x 95m x 200m x 2,4 = 136,800,000 / 31.1 = 4.39 mm ozs gold.
Lets look at what they have for sure, which is 1500m.
4.39 / 2 = 2.19 mm ozs of gold.
Isn't math fun?
Lets look at these numbers...
1500m length x 50m depth x 100m width x 2.4 sg x 1gpt = 18,000,000 grams / 31.1 = 578,778 ozs gold.
Just to play the devils advocate lets say we're starting from 500,000 ozs of gold. I can't see a downside if I can pick up shares around .20 given the share structure and potential for increasing the oz count.
How will they increase the oz count? Drill the new discovery in the North East Extension. If they hit there it blows this thing wide open. Investors will automatically give them credit for everything in between the South/North Discovery Zones (our 500k ozs) and the North East Extension, the full 3k of strike length. Worst case I'd, imo, be talking a million ozs in an open pit scenario. That I just bought at .20!
The key than is what they hit, if anything, at the North East Extension. And it looks good. From the recent NR:

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information
Medley Global Advisors said October 19<sup>th</sup> that the US Federal Reserve will create $500 billion over the next 6 months.
"Whenever you print money, people look for a refuge – gold.” Jim Rogers, author and famed money manager
Using history as our guide we know that the greatest leverage to rising precious metal prices, the most profitable rewarding way to get involved in precious metals, is to own the shares of junior precious metal companies. And in this authors opinion the best time to get involved with a junior resource company is when it’s in the post discovery resource definition stage.
My favorite stage junior is a junior in the post discovery resource definition stage (also known as brown field stage companies). These companies have all ready found something, money’s being raised and the company is going to go in to see what they have - and hopefully produce a 43-101 compliant resource estimate and build upon it. The risk has been greatly reduced and the waiting time for a discovery non-existent.
Altair Ventures Inc. TSX.V – AVX is what this author would consider a classic post discovery resource definition stock. AVX has a new gold discovery, the company is in the process of raising money, and they are working on their property getting ready for the next drill program.
AVX has:
- Excellent management
- Money in the bank
- A tight closely held share structure
- A gold project
- A project that will be cheap and easy to work due to deposit structure, location, infrastructure and local skilled workforce
- World class neighbors already mining
- A project with immense size and open pit potential
- A head start on metallurgy
- Excellent potential for further discoveries
- Done no promotion, a relatively unknown and undiscovered company that is presently offering ahead of the herd investors an excellent entry point
Altair is developing a new gold deposit on its Prospect Valley Project (108 square kilometers) in a world class mining district near Merritt, British Columbia, Canada.
With the recent success at the following two projects:
Spanish Mountain:
• 4 million oz Au M&I resource at 0.58g/t Au
• Deposit is approx. 1,500m X 600m
• Sediment hosted in regional-scale structural setting
• SPA has $75 million market cap
Blackwater:
• No resource yet; Average grade probably ~1.0g/t Au
• Deposit is approx. 1,100m X 600m
• Hosted in silicified felsic volcanic rocks within large Porphyry Cu-Au Belt
• RVC has $103 million market cap
Exploration companies, and investors, are starting to realize the potential for discoveries and increased share price valuations as these deposits are found, explored and developed.
Prospect Valley Project
The 107.9 sq km, Prospect Valley Property is 3 hours driving time from Vancouver BC and is within the Spences Bridge Gold Belt just a short distance from the town of Merritt. Prospect Valley hosts a low sulphidation epithermal gold system with quartz vein stockwork type mineralization. Over 13 target areas have been identified in the claim block to date. The majority of the targets are located in the centre of the claim block along a prominent north-northeast trending linear zone.
Initial work on the property started in 2005 - mapping, soil sampling, trenching and Induced Polarization (IP). The initial target was high grade gold mineralization, but after 3,734 meters of drilling - 90 percent of holes drilled were mineralized – and analyzing the results the model was changed to a bulk tonnage low grade gold target with average grades of .8 grams per tonne (gpt) to 1 gpt.
“Detailed geological mapping, surface trenching, soil sampling and airborne
magnetic surveys have been completed, and 33 diamond drill holes in 2006/2007 confirmed an elongated NNE-trending gold mineralized belt, designated the North and South Discovery Zones. The mineralized belt is silicified with stringers and veinlets of quartz and fine grained disseminated pyrite. Geological data shows that the mineralization is confined within the hanging wall of a normal fault zone that trends NNE for several kilometers.” Altair News Release July 21<sup>st</sup> 2009
Recent field work extended the strike length of gold mineralization to roughly three kilometers. A prospecting team working northeast of the North and South Discovery zones discovered gold mineralization. This newly discovered zone lies within the Northeast Extension, extends for 135 meters along strike, is exposed over a width of up to 32 meters and disappears under overburden in all directions.
This newly discovered gold mineralization is approximately 300 meters topographically lower than the South Discovery Zone (SDZ) and may represent a deeper part of the mineralizing system. Altair’s 2010 drilling program seems to indicate that gold grades increase with depth.
The location and intense alteration in the Northeast Extension correlates with a moderately dipping slope that might be related to the structure that appears to control the gold mineralization in the SDZ. This structure continues to the northeast for at least another two kilometers perhaps adding another two kilometers to the already three kilometer long trend.
“This is a really exciting development for the Prospect Valley Property. The extension of the gold-bearing structure to at least three kilometers along strike indicates that a very large mineralizing system was in place and that there is excellent potential for the discovery of a new gold deposit here.” Robert Archer, Altair’s Chairman
Gold Recovery
Thirty gold-mineralized samples consisting of core reject materials were sent for cyanide leach tests. Results show that of the 30 mineralized samples 17 samples returned gold recoveries above 72%. The positive gold recoveries from these tests are significant - gold recoveries are within industry requirements for this type of mineralization.
The Deal
Altair can earn a 70 percent interest in Prospect Valley by spending $6,000,000.00 and giving the vendor 7 million shares over five years. Roughly $600,00.00 has been spent by Altair and two million shares have been issued.
Altair can earn another twenty percent, taking their total ownership of the project to 90 percent, by doing a bankable feasibility study.

There have been some exciting mergers and acquisitions (M&As) within the junior mining sector over the past few months. As gold and silver settle from the previous move, many projects will be rerated and acquired by majors that are struggling with decreasing resources. I believe the industry is undergoing consolidation and we are seeing the beginning of a major international race to control future gold and silver ounces in the ground. The bull market in gold and silver is intact and, though we may see some short-term pullbacks in bullion prices, the junior mining sector will continue to outperform.

There’s a sturdy old building in the east end of Pittsburgh. It’s located between two major streets, Centre Avenue and Baum Boulevard. It backs up into a hollow where there’s a railroad spur. From the train tracks in the hollow to the roof, the structure is about 125 feet tall. The building covers a city block. It was constructed in 1914 by the Ford Motor Co.
