VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / Arras Minerals Corp. (TSXV:ARK) ("Arras" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a regional field program across the more than 3,300 square kilometre license package it controls in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan.
Highlights of the Planned 2024 Regional Field Program:

• The 2024 Exploration program will target licences associated with the Teck Strategic Alliance, and Arras's 100% owned Elemes and Tay projects.
• An extensive airborne and ground geophysics program, followed by a mapping, soil sampling and drill program over the Package A and Package B Licences under the Strategic Alliance with Teck Resources Limited ("Teck").
• A geophysics and detailed mapping program followed an initial diamond drill program targeting the Berezski and Aimandai copper targets located within the Elemes Project.
• An initial scout KGK program followed by an initial diamond drill program on the Tay Project, targeting the 6.5-kilometre x 2.1-kilometre Induced Polarization ("IP") chargeability anomaly.

Tim Barry, CEO of Arras, commenting on the upcoming 2024 Field Program, stated, "We are very much looking forward to starting the 2024 field program. This will be our third exploration season in Kazakhstan. Over the previous couple of seasons, we have assembled an excellent team of young local geologists, gained hard won experience on how to effectively explore in Kazakhstan, and put in place robust systems which allows us to quickly assess projects and move them to the next stage. Furthermore in 2024, we are very pleased to also have our partner, Teck, working with us. They will provide invaluable additional support via their technical specialists. We are also excited to follow up on our Elemes and Tay prospects and expect to drill them later in the season after refining the targets with additional mapping and geophysics.
The 2024 field program has the potential to be transformative for Arras. We expect to drill at least three new porphyry prospects this year, which when combined with the Beskauga Project which we have under an option to purchase, means we potentially have at least four porphyry prospects controlled by the company. The project portfolio is close to incredible infrastructure and the country is quickly becoming a tier-one destination for copper and gold exploration globally as demonstrated by many of the copper and gold majors establishing a presence in Kazakhstan over the past 6-12 months."
Arras's licence package is located within the Bozshakol-Chingiz metallogenic belt, a belt of rocks that includes the Bozshakol Mine, as well as the Beskauga copper-gold-silver porphyry deposit currently under option by Arras. The licence package is composed of 17 licences and covers just over 3,300 square kilometres in area and is shown in the map below.
https://preview.redd.it/v7rw44mqud0d1.jpg?width=1425&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=984ca4ef4c1bd19e4105fd1c2e1ebd740a1d4d98
A budget of approximately US$2.5M for 2024 has been established for the Alliance package and will include airborne and ground geophysics followed up by mapping, soil sampling, and targeted KGK and potentially diamond drilling. The initial focus will be on Package "A" with work on Package "B" expected to commence in the coming months.
The Elemes Project - the Berezski and Aimandai Targets: The Berezski and Aimandai targets are located within the 531 square kilometre Elemes Project. The Berezski Target is an 8.8-kilometre-long copper anomaly which was announced in February 2024 and contains shallow historical drilling that has yielded notable results such as 132 meters at 0.80% CuEq and 108 meters at 0.94% CuEq from surface. The Aimandai Target is a 14-kilometre x 3.2-kilometre NE-SW trending coherent copper ("Cu") anomaly (>100ppm) which was announced in March 2024 that is parallel to Berezski and approximately five kilometers to the east and has had no known drilling.

Over the coming months, both targets will be mapped in detail along with ground geophysics to better refine the drill targets. A diamond drill program is planned to follow to test these two exciting new targets.
The Tay Project - The Tay IP Target: The Tay IP Target is a 6.5-kilometre x 2.1-kilometre East-West trending coherent Soviet-era Induced Polarization ("IP") chargeability anomaly located 28 kilometres north of the Bozshakol open pit copper-gold mine, and 85-kilometres from Arras's operational base in the city of Ekibastuz. The entire prospect is masked with unconsolidated cover believed to be 10-40m deep and has received no systematic modern exploration to date.

The Tay Prospect is strategically situated with outstanding accessibility and local infrastructure, including nearby high voltage power lines, railway, and roads.
Plans are underway to follow up the chargeability anomaly with a KGK drill program which will drill through the overburden and test the top of bedrock to understand the geology and then follow up with a diamond drillhole program to test the chargeability high.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 14, 2024 / Faraday Copper Corp. ("Faraday" or the "Company") (TSX:FDY)(OTCQX:CPPKF) is pleased to announce the results of five drill holes from its Phase III program at the Copper Creek Project, located in Arizona, U.S. ("Copper Creek"). One hole was drilled to test a new target area 275 metres ("m") west of Keel and one hole was drilled to test the westward extension of Old Reliable. Three holes were drilled at Area 51 as a follow-up to the recent Starship and Eclipse breccia discoveries (announced on January 16, 2024 and March 4, 2024).
Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented "The Phase III drill program continues to demonstrate the exploration potential of the Copper Creek Project on a number of fronts. At Area 51, we continue to intersect and expand near-surface mineralization. At Old Reliable, mineralization is being further delineated outside of the mineral resource pit shell. Additionally, the first reconnaissance hole drilled at depth, west of Keel, confirms our thesis that there is the potential for significant mineralization to be discovered below the Old Reliable breccia complex. This new data will enable us to vector to high grade zones for further drill testing".
Highlights

• At Area 51, intersected 42.05 m at 0.41% copper from 48.55 m in drill hole FCD-24-056 at the recently discovered Eclipse breccia.
  • This hole expands the known mineralization within the Eclipse breccia approximately 20 m to the east and 50 m to the north from previous intercepts**.**
• Drilling 275 m west of Keel ("Keel West") intersected 51.45 m at 0.50% copper and 1.39 grams per tonne ("g/t") silver from 820.62 m in drill hole FCD-24-053. This intercept is within a longer intercept of 186.90 m at 0.32% copper from 820.62 m.
  • This hole is in a previously undrilled area outside the Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and confirms that mineralization is open to the west of Keel and below the Old Reliable breccia.
• Step-out to the west of Old Reliable intersected 70.35 m of 0.29% copper and 1.31 g/t silver from 55.53 m in drill hole FCD-24-054.
  • Mineralization is hosted in granodiorite porphyry and confirms that near-surface mineralization at Old Reliable remains open.

(For true width information see Table 1.)
Area 51 was identified as highly prospective by integrating airborne versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical data and short wave infrared spectral data together with geological mapping and sampling. Area 51 encompasses a porphyry intrusion with nine mapped breccia bodies over an area of approximately 400 m by 400 m, including Starship and Eclipse. The breccias are interpreted to have been emplaced at a shallow crustal level in the hanging wall of the northwest trending Holy Joe thrust fault, which brought Proterozoic metamorphic rocks in contact with younger sedimentary rock units to the east of Area 51. This fault is also thought to have controlled the emplacement of the Paleocene Glory Hole volcanics and Copper Creek granodiorite which host the mineral resource.
Drill hole FCD-24-056 was collared northeast of the Eclipse breccia and drilled to the southwest to increase drill coverage for the Eclipse breccia (Figures 1 and 2). Mineralization is associated with chalcopyrite and minor bornite breccia cement. The hole started in granodiorite porphyry and intersected hydrothermal breccia from 28 m to 108 m followed by granodiorite porphyry to 131 m. The remainder of the hole to 187 m is in Glory Hole volcanics. The alteration in the breccia domain is quartz-sericite-pyrite with an interval from approximately 50 m to 70 m where tourmaline is abundant.
Drill hole FCD-24-051 was collared 250 m north of the Eclipse breccia and drilled to the southwest into the Ziltoid breccia (Figure 1). The hole intersected Glory Hole volcanics in the first 180 m, followed by 4 m of granodiorite porphyry. From 184 m to 247 m the dominant lithology is hydrothermal breccia. Alteration at the start of the breccia is sericitic but K-feldspar and biotite dominate from 190 m to the end of the hole.
Drill hole FCD-24-055 was collared southeast of the Eclipse breccia and drilled to the Northwest (Figure 1). The hole intercepted Glory Hole volcanics from surface to 49 m, followed by a series of granodiorite and monzogranite porphyries. From 136 m to 327 m the hole intersected hydrothermal breccia cemented by quartz, pyrite and specular hematite. Alteration within the breccia is intense quartz-sericite. Minor copper mineralization is associated with chalcocite near the upper contact of the breccia.
Keel West is the area between the Keel zone and Old Reliable. This area coincides with a prominent untested geophysical anomaly which extends westward from the known mineralization at the Mammoth breccia and Keel zone to below Old Reliable (Figure 3).
Drill hole FCD-24-053 was collared east of Old Reliable and drilled to the south-southeast (Figures 1 and 3). Mineralization is associated with bornite and chalcopyrite bearing veins with narrow sericite-biotite-K-feldspar alteration halos and the hole ends in mineralization. This type of bornite-rich, vein-hosted mineralization is known to be associated with high-grade mineralization and elevated gold grades at Keel and suggests the potential for other high-grade mineralized centers at depth below known near-surface mineralized breccias in the area.
Old Reliable was the site of small-scale underground mining for copper and molybdenum prior to World War II. Starting in the 1970s, an experimental in-situ leach operation recovered some of the near-surface copper oxide mineralization. The sulphide-hosted mineralization remains in place. During the 1990s, densely spaced vertical drilling led to resource definition to approximately 200 m below surface. Several of those drill holes end in mineralization and the resource is open at depth and laterally. Additional follow up drilling is planned for this area.
Drill hole FCD-24-054 was collared north of Old Reliable and drilled to the southwest (Figures 1 and 4). The hole was designed to test the westward extension of the mineralization outside of the open pit used to constrain the MRE. Mineralization is associated with disseminated and vein-hosted chalcopyrite within granodiorite porphyry. The drill hole intercepted Glory Hole volcanics from surface to 50 m and granodiorite porphyry to 208 m, returning to Glory Hole volcanics to 295 m and granodiorite for the last 12 m. Dominant alteration associated with the mineralization is sericite with kaolinite. Similar alteration is present in the Old Reliable breccia (as discussed in a news release dated April 10, 2024).

Next Steps
Phase III drilling continues and is focussed on three objectives:

• Reconnaissance drilling on new targets;
• Expanding the MRE; and
• Better delineating high-grade mineralized zones.

As part of the Phase III program, twenty-seven drill holes have been completed and results for nineteen have been released. Thirteen holes were drilled in Area 51, three in the Copper Prince-Copper Giant area, eight in the Bald-American Eagle area and three near Old Reliable. Current focus of drilling is on the near-surface breccias in the American Eagle area.
Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance
All sampling was conducted under the supervision of the Company's geologists and the chain of custody from Copper Creek to the independent sample preparation facility, ALS Laboratories in Tucson, AZ, was continuously monitored. The samples were taken as ½ core, over 2 m core length. Samples were crushed, pulverized and sample pulps were analyzed using industry standard analytical methods including a 4-Acid ICP-MS multielement package and an ICP-AES method for high-grade copper samples. Gold was analyzed on a 30 g aliquot by fire assay with an ICP-AES finish. A certified reference sample was inserted every 20th sample. Coarse and fine blanks were inserted every 20th sample. Approximately 5% of the core samples were cut into ¼ core and submitted as field duplicates. On top of internal QA-QC protocol, additional blanks, reference materials and duplicates were inserted by the analytical laboratory according to their procedure. Data verification of the analytical results included a statistical analysis of the standards and blanks that must pass certain parameters for acceptance to ensure accurate and verifiable results.

GPT-4 Size
Since before the release of GPT-4, the rumor mill has been buzzing.
People predicted and are still claiming the model has 100 trillion parameters. That's a trillion with a "t".
The often-used graphic above makes GPT-3 look like a cute little breadcrumb, which is about to have a live-ending encounter with a bowling ball
Sure, OpenAI's new brainchild certainly is mind-bending. And language models have been getting bigger - fast!
But this time is different and it provides a good opportunity to look at the research on scaling large language models (LLMs).
Let's go!

Training 100 Trillion Parameters

The creation of GPT-3 was a marvelous feat of engineering. The training was done on 1024 GPUs, took 34 days, and cost $4.6M in compute alone [1].
Training a 100T parameter model on the same data, using 10000 GPUs, would take 53 Years. However, to avoid overfitting such a huge model requires a much(!) larger dataset. This is of course napkin math but it is directionally correct.
So, where did this rumor come from?

The Source Of The Rumor:

It turns out OpenAI itself might be the source.
In August 2021 the CEO of Cerebras told wired: "From talking to OpenAI, GPT-4 will be about 100 trillion parameters".
At the time, this was most likely what they believed. But that was back in 2021. So, basically forever ago when machine learning research is concerned.
Things have changed a lot since then!
To what has happened we first need to look at how people actually decide the number of parameters in a model.

Deciding The Number Of Parameters:

The enormous hunger for resources typically makes it feasible to train an LLM only once.
In practice, the available compute budget is known in advance. The engineers know that e.g. their budget is $5M. This will buy them 1000 GPUs for six weeks on the compute cluster. So, before the training is started the engineers need to accurately predict which hyperparameters will result in the best model.
But there's a catch!
Most research on neural networks is empirical. People typically run hundreds or even thousands of training experiments until they find a good model with the right hyperparameters.
With LLMs we cannot do that. Training 200 GPT-3 models would set you back roughly a billion dollars. Not even the deep-pocketed tech giants can spend this sort of money.
Therefore, researchers need to work with what they have. They can investigate the few big models that have been trained. Or, they can train smaller models of varying sizes hoping to learn something about how big models will behave during training.
This process can be very noisy and the community's understanding has evolved a lot over the last few years.

What People Used To Think About Scaling LLMs

In 2020, a team of researchers from OpenAI released a paper called: "Scaling Laws For Neural Language Models".
They observed a predictable decrease in training loss when increasing the model size over multiple orders of magnitude.
So far so good. However, they made two other observations, which resulted in the model size ballooning rapidly.

1. To scale models optimally the parameters should scale quicker than the dataset size. To be exact, their analysis showed when increasing the model size 8x the dataset only needs to be increased 5x.
2. Full model convergence is not compute-efficient. Given a fixed compute budget it is better to train large models shorter than to use a smaller model and train it longer.

Hence, it seemed as if the way to improve performance was to scale models faster than the dataset size [2].
And that is what people did. The models got larger and larger with GPT-3 (175B), Gopher (280B), Megatron-Turing NLG (530B) just to name a few.
But the bigger models failed to deliver on the promise.
Read on to learn why!

What We Know About Scaling Models Today

Turns out, you need to scale training sets and models in equal proportions. So, every time the model size doubles, the number of training tokens should double as well.
This was published in DeepMind's 2022 paper: "Training Compute-Optimal Large Language Models"
The researchers fitted over 400 language models ranging from 70M to over 16B parameters. To assess the impact of dataset size they also varied the number of training tokens from 5B-500B tokens.
The findings allowed them to estimate that a compute-optimal version of GPT-3 (175B) should be trained on roughly 3.7T tokens. That is more than 10x the data that the original model was trained on.
To verify their results they trained a fairly small model on lots of data. Their model, called Chinchilla, has 70B parameters and is trained on 1.4T tokens. Hence it is 2.5x smaller than GPT-3 but trained on almost 5x the data.
Chinchilla outperforms GPT-3 and other much larger models by a fair margin [3].
This was a great breakthrough! The model is not just better, but its smaller size makes inference cheaper and finetuning easier.
So, we are starting to see that it would not make sense for OpenAI to build a model as huge as people predict.
Let’s put a nail in the coffin of that rumor once and for all.
To fit a 100T parameter model properly, open OpenAI would need a dataset of roughly 700T tokens. Given 1M GPUs and using the calculus from above, it would still take roughly 2650 years to train the model [1].
mind == blown
You might be thinking: Great, I get it. The model is not that large. But tell me already! How big is GPT-4?

The Size Of GPT-4:

We are lucky.
Details about the GPT-4 architecture recently leaked on Twitter and Pastebin.
So, here is what GPT-4 looks like:

• GPT-4 has ~1.8 trillion parameters. That makes it 10 times larger than GPT-3.
• It was trained on ~13T tokens and some fine-tuning data from ScaleAI and produced internally.
• The training costs for GPT-4 were around $63 million for the compute alone.
• The model trained for three months using 25.000 Nvidia A100s. That’s quite a considerable speedup compared to the GPT-3 training.

Regardless of the exact design, the model was a solid step forward. However, it will be a long time before we see a 100T-parameter model. It is not clear how such a model could be trained.
There are not enough tokens in our part of the Milky Way to build a dataset large enough for such a model.
There are probably not enough tokens in the
Whatever the model looks like in detail, it is amazing nonetheless.
These are such exciting times to be alive!
As always, I really enjoyed making this for you and I sincerely hope you found it useful!

Hello, I just picked up four Swiss 2 Franc coins from 1960-1965. My understanding is these coins are 83.5% silver and the design hasn't changed since 1874. I'm starting to having doubts about their authenticity, but then I begin having doubts that anyone would bother faking a 2 Franc coin, but then I have doubts... and so on.
My concerns are visual and aural.

1. Visually, the spacing of the numerals in the year looks different. The 1960 looks squashed while the 1964 is spread apart, with the 1965 somewhere in between.
2. The 2 indicating denomination looks different as well. Specifically, the curved line rising from the left of the horizonal line looks thicker on the 1960 coin and much finer on the 1964 coin.
3. The 1960 coin appears to be have been struck slightly off-centre. This is more obvious on the obverse.
4. Aurally, they all make the same resonating ping sound, but it is much higher pitched than the sound made by a 90% British Trade Dollar (although admittedly a much larger coin). It sounds more like copper to me.

My question is whether anyone is aware of these coins being faked, and whether you see any obvious reason for concern from the photos presented. Thank you.
