  • Phase 2 identified 30 epithermal veins that remain open at depth and along strike
  • 1000m to the northeast lies the SG3 target area,  which is a feeder system type target.
  • Plan to drill deeper into the vein system to look for the boiling point in epithermal veins

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 6, 2018) – Advance Gold Corp. (TSXV: AAX) (“Advance Gold” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration plans for its Tabasquena project near Ojocaliente, Mexico. Based on the phase 2 drilling program, and historical work completed by the geological survey of Mexico, a dual track drilling program is being planned.

The recently completed drilling in phase 2, has identified a series of epithermal veins (more than 30), which have only been drilled above the boiling point and remain open at depth and along strike. Approximately 1000 metres to the northeast, the SG3 target area, is a structural intersection mapped and sampled by the geological survey of Mexico which is a feeder system type target.

Allan Barry Laboucan, President and CEO of Advance Gold Corp. commented: “Now that we have established that there is a large cluster of epithermal veins at Tabasquena, we are also eager to explore for feeder system type targets. Our plan to drill deeper into the vein system to look for the boiling point in our epithermal veins, combined with stepping out into other areas of the property gives us a good chance to open things up.

“Past work by the geological survey of Mexico, at the SG3 target area, has mapped a key structural intersection to the northeast of the vein system and a coincident gold anomaly.

“The more work we do on the property, the more it becomes clear that we are looking at a large epithermal vein system, and other compelling targets on the project. We are looking forward to more drilling to test these targets in our phase 3 drilling.”

Tungsten bearing pegmatite veins occur in the northern region of the property including at a quarry referred to as the South Quarry and an adjacent smaller quarry. The veins were first reported in the area of these quarries during the 1980s. Great Atlantic confirmed high grade tungsten mineralization (scheelite) in veins in rubble and bedrock at the two quarries during 2015 (News Release of November 19, 2015). Eleven rubble grab samples exceeded 5% WO3 (W % x 1.26 equals WO3%). A 20 cm long channel sample along a 15cm wide vein in the small quarry returned 2.96% WO3 while a grab sample from a 0.25 meter wide vein in the South Quarry returned 11.94% WO3.

 

Great Atlantic recently collected a bench scale sample of tungsten bearing vein material from the South Quarry for preliminary metallurgical studies. The sample will be processed utilizing ore sorting technologies to evaluate the viability of such technologies for processing the tungsten bearing veins on the Property. Great Atlantic is currently discussing ore sorting options with various processing companies.

AUGUSTA INDUSTRIES (AAO:TSXV) LOCK-UP AGREEMENT IS A WINNING STRATEGY $PHO.ca $DYA.ca $OPS.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:20 PM on Thursday, November 9th, 2017

AUGUSTA INDUSTRIES (AAO:TSXV) LOCK-UP AGREEMENT IS A WINNING STRATEGY

On September 29, 2016, Major Shareholders and Directors of dynaCERT announced a Lock-Up of more than 55,000,000 shares for 180 days, representing ~ 23% of the Company’s shares.  The purpose of the Lock-Up was stated as follows:

“Given the significant progress that has been achieved in recent months, we felt a Voluntary Lock-Up Agreement would demonstrate to shareholders and potential investors the commitment and confidence that management, directors and certain major shareholders have in the future of dynaCERT.”

The Company proceeded to make significant progress and its stock achieved the following performance over the next 12 months.

 

 

Augusta Industries Announces Lock-Up Agreement

On November 9th, Augusta Industries announced a Lock-Up Agreement for Directors and Officers holding 83.4 Million shares, representing 32% of the Company’s outstanding share amount.  One major term of the Agreement is the agreement to vote the shares in support of the Augusta Spin-Off of Fox-Tek Canada Inc.

Allen Lone, President and CEO of Augusta stated:

“The company continues to work with its advisers to ensure the success of the proposed spinoff of Fox-Tek and to ensure that it is done it a manner that is beneficial to its shareholders”

In both scenarios, management and major shareholders agreed to act in unison for the long-term benefit of each respective company and its shareholders.  Though a Lock-Up on it’s own does not create the kind of share price appreciation experienced by dynaCERT, both the underlying fundamental strengths and the shareholder unison can’t be denied as harbingers of a bright future.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Augusta revenues for 2016 / $4.6M
  • Augusta market cap is ~ $10,000,000 as of November 9, 2017
  • The proposed Spin-Off of FOX-TEK is expected to return up to $25,000,000 of stock to existing shareholders of Augusta.
  • Though terms of the Spin-Off are yet to be finalized, the proposed $2.5:$1 benefit to shareholders is now one step closer with the announcement of the Lock-Up Agreement.

VIDEO: AGORACOM Predicts TSX Venture Small-Cap “Melt-Up”

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:11 AM on Wednesday, March 11th, 2015

It is no secret that Canadian small-cap companies have taken a massive beating in the last 4 years, falling from 2,500 to 650 or ~ 75%.  That is a brutal melt down and here is a visual:

TSXV MeltUp

 

Nobody escaped unscathed.  If you were lucky, you survived – barely.  The rest just died.  AGORACOM survived largely because we saw the oversupply and called it as far back as 2008 when I posted the following right here on this same blog”

“Let the fly by nights die, consolidate those with decent assets and let the superstars stand up on their own two feet.”

Our industry, however, didn’t learn our lesson and chose to keep the fly by nights going in the name and pursuit of greed.  Unfortunately, Mr. Market doesn’t like an oversupply of non-performing assets, so he chose to teach us the lesson by turning fly by nights into zombies.  For the record, I want to thank Tony Simon for quantifying the term … but have to give credit to our very own Chief Market Commentator, Allan Bary Labouchan, for first applying the term Zombies to the TSX Venture Walking Dead … watch this clip.

THAT WAS THE BAD NEWS … HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS … I’M NOW CALLING A MELT UP

I’m calling it, right here, right now … the Canadian Small Cap Market is now entering a Melt UP Phase that will last for a minimum of 4 years. My call is based on the following:

  1. The Zombies may still be walking around but we all know who they are and they no longer pose a risk.
  2. Investors have ended the “mourning” phase and are now seeking new investments to build their future with.  This is supported by our traffic metrics clearly demonstrating investors are spending more time researching even while the TSXV bottomed out in 2014.
  3. The Buzz at PDAC was much more focused on making real deals and moves between the strong companies that survived the melt down.
  4. The survivors are trading at ridiculously cheap prices.
  5. The TSX Venture Exchange is starting to see healthy diversification via “real” companies from the tech and medical space.  I emphasize REAL because these companies have real products, customers and business plans.

More than just lip service, here is my video call.  If your small cap company is ready to take advantage of the multi-year melt up, be sure to get in contact with us to discuss our CASHLESS online programs!
