The maximum number of common shares that may be purchased for cancellation pursuant to the NCIB is that number of common shares that represents 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Based on the 34,865,717 shares issued and outstanding as at April 24, 2012, the maximum number of shares is 1,743,285. Daily purchases will be limited to 18,214 common shares, other than purchases pursuant to block purchase exceptions. The actual number of common shares that would be purchased under the NCIB, if any, and the timing of such purchases will be determined by the Company considering market conditions, stock prices, its cash position, and other factors.

The Company has undertaken the NCIB because it believes that the underlying value of Forbes Coal is not reflected in the current market price of its common shares.

Purchases under the NCIB are permitted to commence on April 30, 2012 and will terminate on or about April 29, 2013 or the date upon which the maximum number of common shares have been purchased by Forbes Coal pursuant to the NCIB. Forbes Coal intends that any shares acquired pursuant to the NCIB will be cancelled.

Any purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the rules of the Exchange and will be made at the market price of the common shares at the time of the acquisition. Forbes Coal will make no purchases of common shares other than open market purchases that may be made during the period that the NCIB is outstanding.

The East Zone is located approximately 800 metres east of the easternmost “C” vein exposure in the open cut above Level 1 of the Treasure Mountain mine and is in apparent proximity to the Mine Dyke (?) and Treasure Mountain Fault. A small open cut from surface was completed in September 2011 to follow up on the 2010 exploration program. A 7 metre wide and 7 metre high section of the vein was removed and machine and hand sorted into bags for shipment off site. The material was put through a portable concrete and gravel crusher to reduce the size to 1/4″ and bagged for storage. There was no milling or concentration required for the material to be accepted as smelter grade. An additional 500 tonnes of material was bulk shipped from the East Zone to the Company’s Merritt Mill site for further processing.

The Company also wishes to announce that it is currently conducting further metallurgical testing on the recently completed 10,000 tonne underground bulk sample. The purpose of this testing is two-fold. The first objective is to provide a representative sample of both lead silver and zinc silver concentrates to the smelter laboratory to enable the terms of a Long-Term Agreement to be completed. The second is to provide an additional sample of tailings material to the Company’s engineering staff to determine if manganese can be recovered from the tailings using non-chemical methods. The metallurgical test work is being conducted at Inspectorate Exploration & Mining Services Ltd. of Richmond, BC an ISO 17025 accredited Laboratory.

Technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Al Beaton, P.Eng., a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.

Spotlight Venture: Midland Intersects a New Gold Zone in its Casault Property

Written by editor April 26th, 2012

MONTREAL, QUEBEC– April 26, 2012 - Midland Exploration Inc. (“Midland”) (TSX VENTURE:MD) is pleased to announce the intersection of a new gold zone at shallow depth on its Casault gold property. This new gold-bearing zone was identified during an extensive regional exploration program involving nineteen (19) diamond drill holes totalling 4,562 metres recently completed along a series of sections spaced approximately one kilometre from one another. The Casault property, currently held 100% by Midland, is located about 40 kilometres east of the Detour Lake gold deposit, which currently hosts 23.3 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated resources (43-101) and 5.8 million ounces of gold in inferred resources (43-101), including 15.6 million ounces of gold in near-surface proven and probable mineral reserves (43-101) (Source: press release by Detour Gold Corporation dated January 25, 2012).

Full coverage of MD: http://stockgurucanada.com/?s=md

Join in the Discussion of MD at: http://members.stockguru.com/stocks/md

During the recent winter 2012 drilling campaign, drill hole CAS-12-07 intersected a high-grade zone at 10.4 g/t Au over 1.45 metre, from 176.60 to 178.05 metres depth, including a local interval grading 13.05 g/t Au over 0.75 metre from 177.30 to 178.05 metres depth. This new gold-bearing zone appears to be positioned along the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone and is characterized by the presence of 10-15% disseminated pyrite in a structure with strong quartz-sericite-calcite alteration. The gold-bearing zone occurs along the contact between a granodiorite intrusion and enclosing mafic volcanic rocks. It remains open and untested in all directions. The orientation of the zone (strike and dip) and its true thickness are not known at this time. Planning of the next phase of work is in preparation.

The Casault gold property consists of 324 claims wholly owned by Midland, for a total surface area of about 178.4 square kilometres. Midland controls the extension, over more than 20 kilometres strike length, of the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone, which hosts the major Detour Lake gold deposit. The Casault property is also adjacent to the west of the Martiniere property held by Balmoral Resources Ltd, where drill intersections grading 11.42 g/t Au over 9.3 metres were recently reported in the Martiniere East zone (Source: press release by Balmoral Resources Ltd dated March 29, 2012).

For Figure 2 – Map showing the discovery hole CAS-12-07 on the Casault property, click here: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Figure2_Casault_Regional_Mag.pdf

Terms of Exploration Agreement

Osisko can earn 50% of Midland’s interest in the property by spending a total of $6,000,000 in exploration work and making payments totaling $600,000 over a period of five years. Midland will be the operator during the first year of the option agreement. Upon acquiring a 50% interest, Osisko will have the option during a three year period to acquire an additional 15% interest by delivering a bankable feasibility study or by solely assuming all exploration, development and mining operations on the Casault Property, earning a 1% additional interest for every $1,000,000 spent on the property (up to 15% by spending $15 million).

Quality Control

The exploration program on the Casault project is supervised by Mario Masson, VP exploration for Midland and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Assay samples are taken from NQ-size drill core sawn in half; one half is shipped to a commercial laboratory and the other half is kept for future reference. Analyses are conducted by ALS Chemex-Chimitec in Val-d’Or. Significant assay results are duplicated at the original laboratory and at a second independent laboratory, Lab Expert in Rouyn-Noranda. Quality control samples, standards, blanks, and duplicates, are systematically inserted in the sample stream. Drill intersections are reported as core lengths and their true thickness remains to be determined.

About Midland

Midland targets the excellent mineral potential and the favourable investment climate of Quebec to make the discovery of new world-class deposits of gold, base metals and rare earth elements. Midland is proud to count on reputable partners such as Osisko Mining Corporation, Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited, Aurizon Mines Limited, North American Palladium Limited, Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation and SOQUEM Inc. Midland prefers to work in partnership and intends to quickly conclude additional agreements in regard to newly acquired properties. Midland is currently evaluating new opportunities and other projects in order to increase the portfolio of the Company.

This press release was prepared by Mario Masson, VP exploration for Midland and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. For further information, please consult Midland’s website.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially from targeted results. Such risks and uncertainties include those described in Midland’s periodic reports including the annual report or in the filings made by Midland from time to time with securities regulatory authorities.

Join in the Discussion of VSR at: http://members.stockguru.com/stocks/vsr

Under the terms of the option agreement, Vanstar will have the option to earn a 70% ownership interest in the Fancamp Property by paying an aggregate amount of $150,000 in cash and issuing an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares over a period of three years, and incurring exploration expenditures on the Fancamp Property in the aggregate amount of $1,200,000 over a period of four years. During the option period, Vanstar will be the operator on the Fancamp Property. The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.

When Vanstar will earn the 70% interest, a joint venture will be formed with each party having the right to maintain its respective interest by funding its share of exploration costs.

“We are pleased to have signed this agreement with Murgor. It gives us the opportunity to acquire an important interest in their Fancamp project which is located within the Fancamp deformation corridor in the Chapais-Chibougamau mining camp. We are convinced that this area will become a privileged area for gold project exploration and development. Many gold showings and gold deposits are known in this area which makes us very positive about its potential. Murgor’s Fancamp property also contains many promising gold showings,” said Mr. Guy Morissette, CEO of Vanstar.

To view location map: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Vanstar_Chapais_property.pdf

The option agreement also provides that Murgor shall receive, subject to certain conditions, up to a maximum of 2,000,000 additional common shares of Vanstar, in the event Vanstar discloses gold resource on the Fancamp Property compliant with the standards of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The foregoing additional Vanstar shares would be issued in tranche of up to 200,000 shares for each 250,000 ounces of new gold resources disclosed by Vanstar.

The Fancamp Property

Location:

The Fancamp Property is located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of the town of Chapais, and 55 kilometres south of the town of Chibougamau, in north-western Québec.

Geology:

The Property lies in the Archean, Abitibi Greenstone belt and is underlain by NE-striking mafic to intermediate/felsic volcanic rocks that are flanked to the east by the syntectonic Verneuil Pluton (granodiorite/tonalite) and, to the west, by the smaller Chico Stock. The Property covers a six kilometre strike length of the Fancamp Deformation Zone (FDZ) and subsidiary shear zones. The NE-trending, 20 kilometres long, FDZ, is host to at least 15 gold deposits and occurrences, including the Chevrier (1.1 Mt @ 6.4 g/t Au) and Chevrier South (230 Mt @ 0.3 g/t Au) deposits (located 5 kilometers northeast and on strike with the Fancamp Property). Other important gold deposits in the area include the Joe Mann Mine (6.65 Mt @ 8.54 g/t Au) 12 kilometers to the southeast.

Mineralization:

Five (5) gold mineralized zones have been discovered to date on the Fancamp Property. In the mid-80′s, Murgor identified Zones “A” and “B” through drilling and underground development.

Results included:

Zone “A”: 8.22 g/t Au over 6.10 m, 5.14 g/t Au over 3.36 m and 4.60 g/t Au over 3.05 m

Zone “B”: 9.3 g/t Au over 8.2 meters

Following the current compilation of previous works, Vanstar will plan a drilling program for the coming months.

Spotlight Venture: Calibre and B2Gold Advance the Minnesota Gold-Copper Project, Borosi Concessions, Nicaragua

Written by editor April 26th, 2012

Trench Results Include 8.0 Metres Grading 6.35 g/t Gold and 12.8 Metres Grading 1.27 g/t Gold

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA– April 26, 2012 - Calibre Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CBX) (“Calibre” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from an initial prospecting, geological mapping, soil sampling and trenching program on the Minnesota gold-copper project within the B2Gold Corp. (TSX:BTO)(OTCQX:BGLPF) (“B2Gold”) Joint Venture on the Borosi concessions in northeast Nicaragua. Recent trench assay results include: 6.40 metres grading 5.56 g/t Au (BRTR11-044), 8.00 metres grading 6.35 g/t Au (BRTR11-047), 12.80 metres grading 1.27 g/t Au (BRTR11-057), 6.00 metres grading 2.12 g/t Au (BRTR11-054), and 4.65 metres grading 1.51 g/t Au (BRTR11-053). These initial trenches were excavated over a 900 metre strike length within the Minnesota gold-copper project area.

The Minnesota gold-copper project is located 20 kilometres northwest of the Primavera gold-copper project where an on-going B2Gold/Calibre drill program has intersected significant porphyry-style gold-copper mineralization including: 261.70 metres grading 0.78 g/t Au, 0.30% Cu (PR-11-002) and 172.35 metres grading 0.48 g/t Au and 0.24% Cu (PR-12-008). The Minnesota area was selected as a high priority target during regional evaluation of the entire Borosi Joint Venture area.

Work completed to date includes; 25.5 line kilometres of soil sampling (449 samples), 138 rock samples, 339.55 metres of face sampling of artisanal workings (189 samples), detailed geologic mapping over 15 square kilometres, and reconnaissance geologic mapping over 52 square kilometres.

This work was highly successful in outlining porphyry-style alteration and mineralization delineated over 1.75 km by 1.25km area with an associated central gold and copper soil anomaly measuring 500 metres by 250 metres. The area is also variably anomalous in Mo, Pb and Zn. A second gold in soil anomaly located 500 metres to the north-east measures 750 metres by 250 metres and has returned initial trench results of 8.00 m grading 6.35 g/t Au and 6.40 metres grading 5.56 g/t Au. Surface rock samples at the Minnesota target have returned results up to 34.2 g/t Au, 90.4 g/t Au, and 0.261% Cu. The target consists of a favourable multi-phase intrusive centre with peripheral epithermal vein sets and widespread alteration. Numerous small-scale artisanal gold miners are active in the Minnesota region.

Douglas Forster, Chairman of Calibre, stated: “We are very encouraged by the initial mapping, soil geochem and trenching results at the Minnesota gold-copper project. B2Gold and Calibre are currently planning the next phase of exploration at this high priority target which will include detailed mapping focusing on delineating intrusive centres and alteration as well as additional trenching over areas with newly defined gold/copper soil anomalies.”

Additional maps and results as well as current information on the Minnesota gold/copper project can be found at www.calibremining.com.

Quality assurance and quality control procedures include the systematic insertion of blanks, standards and duplicates into the rock sample strings. Samples are placed in sealed bags and shipped directly to Inspectorate Labs in Managua, Nicaragua for sample preparation and then to Inspectorate Labs in Vancouver, Canada for gold and silver fire assay and ICP multi element analyses. The technical content in this news release was read and approved by Gregory Smith, P.Geo, Vice President, Exploration and a Qualified Person (“QP”) as defined by NI 43-101.

Windpass Gold Property

The Windpass Gold Property is located approximately 8 km east of Little Fort in Central British Columbia, between Dunn Lake and Baldy Mountain. The Property is comprised of seven Mineral Leases covering 354.34 hectares and one Mineral Claim covering 382.78 hectares for a total of approximately 737 hectares. All of the Mineral Tenures are 100% owned by Nevada CMI. Access to the Property is provided by paved and well-maintained gravel roads.

The Property is situated within the Fennel Formation of volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Permian Age. Into the Fennel Formation and passing through the center of the Property is a broad sill, some 720 meters in width, of hornblende pyroxene diorite. The mineralization is controlled by southeast trending shears which open up as they are refracted by the diorite, allowing the development of shear veins. The mineralization is classified as a low sulphidation, epithermal, gold quartz veins.

The previous geological work had been conducted within the Property in the past 70 years from 1916 to 1987. Two underground mines were operated and produced 32,026 ounces of gold.

In 2009, Nevada CMI drilled twelve diamond drill holes totaling 1,287 meters and completed nine trenches totaling 856 meters. The drill holes and trenches encountered several areas of gold mineralization with a width of 0.61-6.00 meters and a range of 0.43-19.65 g/t gold. The Property contains at least twenty shear vein structure zones, which warrant exploration work. The types of deposits that can be expected are high grade shoots within the shear vein structures.

About Nevada CMI

Nevada CMI is a diversified precious, speciality and base metal exploration and development company focusing on magnesium, molybdenum and gold exploration and development in North America.

Spotlight Venture: Josephine Mining Corp. Announces Progress on the Turner Gold Project

Written by editor April 26th, 2012

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON– April 26, 2012 - Josephine Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:JMC) (the “Company” or “JMC”) announces progress on the Turner Gold project in southwestern Oregon, and an update on the program going forward at Turner for Q2 to Q4 2012. The Company has been working diligently for the past year to prepare for permit applications, further delineate the mineral resource, and optimize plans for mining the Turner Gold resource. Eleven core holes totaling approximately 12,000 feet of diamond drilling provided infill information to be included in the next iteration of the resource block model. It was also used as a source of new data for geotechnical evaluations currently in progress and provided sample material for metallurgical testing. Assays from core intercepts in the new holes were commensurate with those collected in multiple prior programs. Details of the new drilling are included in prior press releases that may be found on the JMC website: www.josephinemining.com.

JMC intends to change the mining method from Avoca, as proposed in the 2010 PEA, to post-pillar cut-and-fill. Both methods are dependent upon backfilling of the underground mining void to maintain high levels of stability. Both methods provide adequate support of the surrounding ground, but post-pillar is much more flexible, allowing more selective recovery of the ore body, a factor which should reduce dilution and optimize the recovered ore grade. CEO Robert L. Russell said, “Our staff has been successful in employing the post-pillar method in a number of mines in the US and abroad, and with good resource recovery and low dilution. The method leaves little ground unsupported, and where employed, has provided the safest possible working conditions.”

The Turner project program has also concentrated upon consolidation of the Company’s land position, resulting in a tripling of acreage, all of which remains on private ground. JMC is focused on making the final $1.35 million payment to General Moly to complete the purchase of the Turner property.

The new drilling results have provided additional information that will be used in refining our understanding of the Turner mineralization. Work has commenced on an updated resource block model and on a geo-technical evaluation. Additional metallurgical test work will be initiated shortly, using samples collected during the 2011 drilling program. Environmental work continues in support of ongoing permitting efforts. JMC will incorporate the results of this work into a pre-feasibility study on the Turner project. The study is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2013.
