  • 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.

  • Gemstone Identification Using Raman Spectroscopy
    RM APPLICATION NOTE 01-03 Gemstone Identification Using Raman Spectroscopy In recent years, the gemstone market has been flooded with stones of questionable origin.

  • Mineralogy and Petrogenesis of the California Blue Mine
    MINERALOGY AND PETROGENESIS OF THE CALIFORNIA BLUE MINE AQUAMARINE- AND TOPAZ-BEARING PEGMATITE DEPOSIT, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA by Carolyn Pauly Copyright by Carolyn Pauly 2019 All Rights Reserved A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date __________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Carolyn Pauly Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Alexander Gysi Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date __________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Dr. M. Stephen Enders Professor and Department Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT The California Blue Mine Pegmatite is a recently discovered gem aquamarine- and topaz- bearing deposit near Yucca valley in southern California, and is the first significant gem-bearing pegmatite discovered north of the Southern California gem districts (Hunerlach, 2012). Aside from large-scale mapping by the USGS and field work necessary for mining, little research has been conducted on the deposit. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a catalogue of the mineralogy, textures, zoning, and geochemistry of the California Blue Mine pegmatite, and to synthesize these observations into a petrogenetic model. This research combined mineralogical, textural, and geochemical field and hand sample observations with lab analyses, including optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), automated mineralogy, electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). A distinct textural and mineralogical zoning has been identified in the pegmatite, including a border zone, wall zone, intermediate zone, and core zone, as well as several miarolitic pockets.
