  • Tourmaline Announces Formation of Topaz Energy, Unlocking Value in Tourmaline's Significant Asset Base
    NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR DISSEMINATION OVER UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES. NEWS RELEASE OCTOBER 10, 2019 TOURMALINE ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF TOPAZ ENERGY, UNLOCKING VALUE IN TOURMALINE'S SIGNIFICANT ASSET BASE Calgary, Alberta - Tourmaline Oil Corp. (TSX:TOU) ("Tourmaline") is pleased to announce the formation of Topaz Energy Corp. (“Topaz”), a new private royalty and infrastructure energy company. Tourmaline will sell to Topaz: a royalty interest on Tourmaline lands, a non-operated interest in two of Tourmaline‘s existing 19 natural gas processing plants, and a contracted interest in a portion of Tourmaline‘s current third-party revenue for total cash and share consideration of $775 million. Topaz will be a low-risk, high-distribution, hybrid royalty and infrastructure energy company with long-term growth plans. Topaz will be capitalized initially with a $150 to $200 million third-party equity private placement, with Tourmaline retaining a 75% to 81% equity ownership interest. Tourmaline intends to reduce a portion of its ownership as Topaz participates in future acquisition activities and an anticipated Topaz public liquidity event in 2020. The initial acquisition from Tourmaline is expected to generate approximately $90 million in revenue(1) in 2020, of which it is anticipated approximately 75% will be paid out in quarterly dividends ($0.80 per share annually, 8% yield). The assets to be acquired from Tourmaline will consist of three components: 1. A gross overriding royalty (“GORR”) on natural gas, oil, and condensate production on 100% of Tourmaline’s existing lands (approximately 2.2 million net acres). 2. A non-operated 45% working interest in two natural gas processing plants underpinned by long-term take- or-pay commitments from Tourmaline.

  • The Anjahamiary Pegmatite, Fort Dauphin Area, Madagascar
    The Anjahamiary pegmatite, Fort Dauphin area, Madagascar Federico Pezzotta* & Marc Jobin** * Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Corso Venezia 55, I-20121 Milano, Italy. ** SOMEMA, BP 6018, Antananarivo 101, Madagascar. E-mail:<[email protected]> 21 February, 2003 INTRODUCTION Madagascar is among the most important areas in the world for the production, mainly in the past, of tourmaline (elbaite and liddicoatite) gemstones and mineral specimens. A large literature database documents the presence of a number of pegmatites rich in elbaite and liddicoatite. The pegmatites are mainly concentrated in central Madagascar, in a region including, from north to south, the areas of Tsiroanomandidy, Itasy, Antsirabe-Betafo, Ambositra, Ambatofinandrahana, Mandosonoro, Ikalamavony, Fenoarivo and Fianarantsoa (e.g. Pezzotta, 2001). In general, outside this large area, elbaite-liddicoatite-bearing pegmatites are rare and only minor discoveries have been made in the past. Nevertheless, some recent work made by the Malagasy company SOMEMEA, discovered a great potential for elbaite-liddicoatite gemstones and mineral specimens in a large, unusual pegmatite (the Anjahamiary pegmatite), hosted in high- metamorphic terrains. The Anjahamiary pegmatite lies in the Fort Dauphin (Tôlanaro) area, close to the southern coast of Madagascar. This paper reports a general description of this locality, and some preliminary results of the analytical studies of the accessory minerals collected at the mine. Among the most important analytical results is the presence of gemmy blue liddicoatite crystals with a very high Ca content, indicating the presence in this tourmaline crystal of composition near the liddicoatite end-member. LOCATION AND ACCESS The Anjahamiary pegmatite is located about 70 km NW of the town of Fort Dauphin (Tôlanaro) (Fig.

  • Contributions to the Mineralogy of Norway
    NORSK GEOLOGISK TIDSSKRIFT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MINERALOGY OF NORWAY No. 5. Trace element variations in three generations of felds­ pars from the Landsverk I pegmatite, Evje, southern Norway. BY S. R. TAYLOR l, K. S. HEIER 2 and T. L. SvERDRUP3 A bstract: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Pb, Tl, Ca, Sr and Ba have been determined in potassium feldspars and coexisting albites of three different generations from one large pegmatite (Landsverk I, Evje, southern Norway). In additio n Fe, Cr, Mn, Cu, Co, Ni, V, Sn and F were determined in a pink microcline and a green amazonite which were seen to grade into each other. Same element concentrations and ratios reflect the different conditions of formation of the feldspars fro m the three generations. The data indicate that the amazonite formed through metasomatic action of a "pegmatitic rest liquid" (fro m which cleavelandite crystallised) on the pink microcline of the first gene­ ration. The trace element data also indicate that the youngest K- feldspar is no t a late fractio nation product of the pegmatite, but rather a late seco ndary mineralisati on. The cause of the colouring of the amazonite is discussed and it is concluded that it is not to be found in a signi fi cant difference in compositio n fro m the pink mi crocline for any of the elements determined. lntroduction. Two of the authors (K. S. H. and S. R.

Forty four brazilianite crystals from several localities in Brazil, Rwanda and Canada were measured on a two-circle goniometer to determine brazilianite morphology. Twenty forms were recorded; six of them have not been recorded before. All faces in the [001] zone are striated along crystallographic axis c. All striated forms in the [001] zone exhibit multiple signals. Two of the signals observed on the form {110} are always very clear. There is an exception on one crystal where just one face, (110), exhibits only one clear signal. Five groups of habits were recorded, two of them new to this mineral species. Eleven samples were examined by X-ray diffraction for calculation of the unit cell parameters yield- ing a=11.201(1)–11.255(2) Å, b=10.1415(5)–10.155(1) Å, c=7.0885(7)–7.119(2) Å and b=97.431(7)–97.34(1) °.

  • Refinement of the Crystal Structure of Ushkovite from Nevados De Palermo, República Argentina
    929 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 40, pp. 929-937 (2002) REFINEMENT OF THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF USHKOVITE FROM NEVADOS DE PALERMO, REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA MIGUEL A. GALLISKI§ AND FRANK C. HAWTHORNE¶ Department of Geological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2, Canada ABSTRACT The crystal structure of ushkovite, triclinic, a 5.3468(4), b 10.592(1), c 7.2251(7) Å, ␣ 108.278(7), ␤ 111.739(7), ␥ 71.626(7)°, V 351.55(6) Å3, Z = 2, space group P¯1, has been refined to an R index of 2.3% for 1781 observed reflections measured with MoK␣ X-radiation. The crystal used to collect the X-ray-diffraction data was subsequently analyzed with an electron microprobe, 2+ 3+ to give the formula (Mg0.97 Mn 0.01) (H2O)4 [(Fe 1.99 Al0.03) (PO4) (OH) (H2O)2]2 (H2O)2, with the (OH) and (H2O) groups assigned from bond-valence analysis of the refined structure. Ushkovite is isostructural with laueite. Chains of corner-sharing 3+ 3+ {Fe O2 (OH)2 (H2O)2} octahedra extend along the c axis and are decorated by (PO4) tetrahedra to form [Fe 2 O4 (PO4)2 (OH)2 3+ (H2O)2] chains. These chains link via sharing between octahedron and tetrahedron corners to form slabs of composition [Fe 2 (PO4)2 (OH)2 (H2O)2] that are linked by {Mg O2 (H2O)4} octahedra. Keywords: ushkovite, crystal-structure refinement, electron-microprobe analysis.
