Coronado Awarded Platinum Group Metals Exploration Permits in New Zealand

VANCOUVER, July 31, 2014 /CNW/ - Coronado Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: CRD) and (OTCQX: CRDAF) reports that on July 23, 2014, New Zealand's Minister of Energy and Resources, Simon Bridges, announced that Coronado's 100% owned subsidiary, Lynx Platinum Limited, was awarded five mineral exploration permits totaling 129,202 acres in the New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals Platinum 2013 Blocks Offer.

Platinum Group Metals ("PGM") occurrences are common in New Zealand, and there is considerable potential for PGM production in New Zealand both from hard rock deposits and alluvial concentrations. All five permits awarded to Coronado are prospective for PGM discovery with the Longwood Range area, where Coronado has been awarded two permits, is considered to be the most advanced area in terms of exploration undertaken to date.

Numerous publications have included mention of the PGM potential in the Longwood Range and recent aeromagnetic surveys, fieldwork and drilling have combined to give a new understanding of the geology and the potential for significant PGM discovery. GNS Science geologist, Nick Mortimer, said the Longwood has what geologists called a "layered gabbro" similar to those found in platinum-rich areas of South Africa and the United States.

Details of the permits awarded are summarized as follows. All five permits awarded reside on the South Island:

Permit Number

Permit Size

Longwood B

18,755 acres

MEP 56409

Longwood C

22,652 acres

MEP 56412

Murchison E-4

29,331 acres

MEP 56413

Murchison E-5

29,257 acres



129,202 acres

 

Initial efforts of the Company will be focused on analyzing all existing data and conducting the necessary geological and economic modeling to determine the potential of any commercial mineral deposits within these permits.

Daniel Brown, CEO of Coronado, commented, "We are pleased to have been awarded this very exciting opportunity in New Zealand, which is complimentary to our gold development assets in Montana and the Company's growing clean power generation business for industrial and residential customers in New Zealand."

Platinum Group Metals Use and Markets

The suite of metals known as PGM includes platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), rhodium (Rh), osmium (Os) and ruthenium (Ru). PGM have become critical to industry because of their extraordinary physical and chemical properties. The metals are refractory, are chemically inert even at elevated temperatures and display excellent catalytic activity. These properties are the basis for their principal uses: as catalysts in the automotive, chemical and petroleum refining industries and as corrosion-resistant materials in the chemical, electrical, glass and medical and dental industries.

World demand for PGM over the past decade has grown steadily, especially for palladium, which has been adopted as the standard for manufacture of auto catalysts. This has had far-reaching effects since  the introduction of stricter pollution controls in the U.S. and Europe, which has caused demand for PGM to increase sharply. Since 1997, platinum and palladium demand has outstripped supply mainly because Russia, the world's biggest palladium producer, has been unable to meet demand from new production and has run down its stockpiles. As a result, there has been a strong move to substitute other PGM for palladium with a consequent sharp rise in demand and price.
