AMC Networks, 4C Insights and VideoAmp have all teamed up with MASS Exchange (MX) to fire up a programmatic advertising capabilities for live linear television.

AMC is using MX to handle pricing, inventory management and sales strategies for its ad inventory.

“MASS Exchange equips AMC Networks to offer an end-to-end programmatic solution for TV,” said Adam Gaynor, vice president of AMCN Agility, in a statement. “Leveraging their dynamic inventory and pricing management tools to expose more inventory to advertisers, we’re able to offer our partners a new standard of accessibility that improves their ability to execute targeted media plans.”

MX said it will allow AMC Networks to offer specific spot-level inventory, accessible via the buyer’s planning tools or directly through MX’s buyer interface. The company also said it can offer automation by converting traffic logs into an inventory catalog, which is algorithmically priced and packaged according to the seller’s rules.

“The TV industry is going through significant transformation at the intersection of audience targeting, attribution and technology,” said Habib Khoury, CEO of MX, in a statement. “We are very excited to be playing such an important role in helping to reduce friction for content providers and deliver an efficient, automated market that allows smart brands to improve the return on their advertising dollars. With AMC Networks, 4C Insights and VideoAmp, we’re working with established industry leaders to move meaningfully closer to realizing the promise of addressable TV.”

For AMC, the programmatic ad plans arrive after a third quarter in which the company’s ad revenues stayed mostly flat. AMC’s national networks advertising revenues increased 0.9% to $200 million. The increase in advertising revenues principally related to higher pricing partially offset by lower delivery.

The world’s #Esports industry is growing at a massive rate, and Hong Kong is ready to catch up $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $TCEHF $Game.ca $EPY.ca

If you haven’t noticed by now, the eSports industry is on an exciting growth trajectory that won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Less and less people on the outside looking in are seeing eSports as a niche interest or trend, but a legitimate, lucrative and very, very entertaining sport that could easily eclipse traditional sports given the time. The proliferation of eSports events around the world is certainly helping drive that growth, with even official tourism boards now recognising the potential for eSports to be a major draw for international and domestic visitors. Case in point: the Hong Kong e-Sports and Music Festival.

The three-day event, which was held towards the end of August for it’s second year, took place in Hall 3 of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and represented a major recognition of the industry by the city of Hong Kong. In fact, it was organised by Hong Kong Tourism Board, with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) Limited on board as the event’s major sponsor. As such, the prize pools were also remarkably large for such a young event of this size.

The tense CS:GO Grand Finals saw a record-breaking HK$2 million total prize pool, while the weekend’s highlight, the Hong Kong PUBG World Invitational, saw a pool of over HK$1 million – the largest amount ever in a local PUBG competition.

Throughout the weekend more than 26 eSports teams from around the world, and over 110 players, competed in the tournaments which were complemented by live music and an “Experience Zone” which filled an entire hall with eSports products, playable games, a large amount of VR titles, and a mini-stage hosting various other acts like a CLP x eSports Academy, KOL battles, and performances by local musicians.

With Hong Kong’s local eSports scene now boosted thanks to events like this, we thought it best to catch up with a big-name local to discuss competitive gaming, it’s growth, and what five things are required for someone to make it in this growing industry. That local just happened to be Hong Kong’s first League of Legends world champion, Toyz of professional eSports organization G-Rex and Emperor esports Stars.

Competitive gaming has come so far but there is still a long way to go for eSports, in terms of its popularity and recognition. Where has the major growth been in 2018 and what do you feel is driving this growth?

One of the significant growth factors in 2018 is definitely the legitimization of eSports as one of the demonstration sports in Asian Games, officially drawing the line between games and eSports. Asian Games attracts world-class players from different sports categories and audience from worldwide. Being one of the demonstration sports in Asian Games goes beyond a simple recognition but also drives public attentions towards eSports. Notably, eSports exclusively possessed over 60% of the viewership among all the sports in Asian Games; it shows the trend of future competitive entertainment and the growing mass public’s interest in eSports. From my perspective, this milestone is a recognition of youngsters’ interest and the penetration of eSports compared to traditional sports.

What is Hong Kong’s eSports scene like now? Is there any difference between the scene in Hong Kong and other Asian cities?

I think HK’s eSports is lagging behind compared to regions nearby. Even though we see HK officials are making more investment in eSports including EMF and a budget of $100M HKD for local eSports development; HK eSports has not yet been well recognized globally. One of the ways to truly accelerate HK’s eSports growth is to build an international eSports brand to compete in international matches and win international titles to acquire recognition on a global scale, and shape a better career path for eSports players as well as eSports related workers in HK.

What are five things you feel are necessary for someone to get into, and succeed in, the world of eSports?

Passion, persistence, talent, diligence, and high team spirit

How do you define your teams play style and what aspects of the play style remain consistent across games?

Our League of Legends team is more on defensive style with a late-game strategy. G-rex is strong in team fight and we keep this style as one of our signature.

Prize pools are getting bigger, like EMF in August, and there are now more new eSports events happening around the world. What do you feel will be the major trends in eSports in 2019? What would you like to see happen for the industry?

I think we can see more eSports stars in the market. We now see more eSports related entertainment supplementary to the traditional entertainment industry, and it’s great to see to see more and more big corporates join the market and help build a better and more supportive ecosystem for eSports in the future.

#Lithium Market Expected To Struggle To Meet Demand Through 2025 $NAM.ca $LIC.ca $LIX.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:14 PM on Monday, November 5th, 2018
  • For lithium producers, the inability to lift output fast enough to meet the demand for the most coveted material, essential for producing electric vehicle batteries, will undoubtedly cause some problems in the forthcoming years.
  • This was revealed earlier this week by the sector’s newest public company, Livent Corp who have expressed their worries about the greater risks imposed in the near future, thanks to the consistent deficit on the market.

OCT 24 2018 BY VANJA KLJAIC 

The production of the material that are essential in making batteries for electric vehicles will impact the market in the forthcoming years.

For lithium producers, the inability to lift output fast enough to meet the demand for the most coveted material, essential for producing electric vehicle batteries, will undoubtedly cause some problems in the forthcoming years. This was revealed earlier this week by the sector’s newest public company, Livent Corp who have expressed their worries about the greater risks imposed in the near future, thanks to the consistent deficit on the market.

“We think demand is going to grow almost five times larger in 2025 than it was in 2017,” CEO Paul Graves said in an interview Thursday in New York, as the supplier made its trading debut. “Our biggest challenge is producing enough to meet the demand — there’s a much greater risk that this market is consistently in a deficit in the near future.”

The long-term outlook considering the lithium demand from Livent, a spinoff from chemical maker FMC Corp., is shared by their competitors, like the Chinese-based company Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Co., which this week sold shares in Hong Kong for the first time. However, it seems that the investors haven’t been immediately swayed, focusing instead on concerns new supply may flood the market in the short term. Furthermore, the potential decline, coming after a rally that tripled prices in the three years through 2017, also causes concern for potential investors.

Hence, the shares of the Philadelphia-based Livent closed little changed Thursday, while Ganfeng plunged 29 percent on its Hong Kong debut.

“The poor performance reflects lack of confidence in the near-term lithium market,” Argonaut Securities (Asia) Ltd. analysts including Helen Lau said in a Friday note. “We think markets have indeed over-reacted to the current price performance and overlooked the demand growth prospects.”

There are several reasons behind the inability for these companies to lift output fast enough to meet the demand set forth by the world car industry. For some, it’s the capital they’re unable to raise that would fuel their expansion. Some others are faced with face regulatory hurdles, dimming the supply outlook. For Livent’s Graves, 47, who was FMC’s CFO and worked at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. for 12 years, including as co-head of natural resources in Asia, expansion into other countries is needed in order to meet the ever increasing demand for this material.

“Our next priority is to expand our Argentina production as quickly as we can to meet that downstream need,” he said.

Even more, according to Ganfeng’s Vice Chairman Wang Xiaoshen, giving an interview Tuesday, there is a potential risk of a lithium shortage longer term, particularly from around 2023 to 2024, when production of electric vehicles is set to accelerate even further. And that could cause additional problems. The world is gearing up for an electric revolution, but it seems that the lithium industry – the one supplying its core materials – may not yet be ready for it.

#Weed woes: Canada struggles to meet huge demand for legal #cannabis $BOG.ca $NBUD.ca $MCOA $AERO $CBDS $CGRW $APH.ca $GBLX $ACG $ACB $WEED.ca $HIP.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:12 PM on Monday, November 5th, 2018

  • Two weeks after Canada became the first G20 country to legalize cannabis amid much fanfare and celebration, numerous stores – both physical and digital – are struggling to meet unexpectedly high demand and in much of the country, the legal supply of marijuana has dried up.
  • “There is not enough legal marijuana to supply all of recreational demand in Canada,” said Rosalie Wyonch, a policy analyst at the CD Howe Institute. “The shortages are happening faster than I would have expected, but our research suggested quite strongly that there would be shortages in the first year of legalization.”

Leyland Cecco in Toronto

Sun 4 Nov 2018 08.00 GMT Last modified on Mon 5 Nov 2018 11.22 GMT

When Trevor Tobin opened one of Canada’s first legal cannabis stores last month, he had high hopes of playing a small part in a historic national experiment – and of making a tidy profit.

Brimming with optimism, he and his mother Brenda pooled $100,000 in savings to create High North, one of the few private retailers in Newfoundland and Labrador.

But the pair quickly found themselves staring at empty shelves – and watching the money they had invested slip away. Day after day, staff at Labrador City’s only cannabis shop have had to turn away customers due to scarce inventory and have even gone as far as temporarily shutting down the store.

“After a week of 100 apologies [to customers] each day, we’re tired of just saying sorry,” said Tobin. “We were told there would be bumps in the road. This isn’t a bump in the road. This is a pothole.”

Two weeks after Canada became the first G20 country to legalize cannabis amid much fanfare and celebration, numerous stores – both physical and digital – are struggling to meet unexpectedly high demand and in much of the country, the legal supply of marijuana has dried up.

“There is not enough legal marijuana to supply all of recreational demand in Canada,” said Rosalie Wyonch, a policy analyst at the CD Howe Institute. “The shortages are happening faster than I would have expected, but our research suggested quite strongly that there would be shortages in the first year of legalization.”

A mix of regulatory frameworks, retail chain distribution and logistical kinks – including rolling postal strikes across the country – have created fertile ground for the shortages.

When Colorado legalized recreational cannabis, it took three years for supply to finally catch up to demand, and Canada could expect a similar delay, said Wyonch.

In Quebec, the Société Québécoise du Cannabis – a government entity overseeing sales – has opted to close three days per week in order to better ration its limited supply.

Online sales make up a large component of the recreational cannabis market. In Ontario, where there are no physical retailers, residents are required to purchase products through a government-run web site.

Within the first 24 hours of legalization, the Ontario Cannabis Store website processed 100,000 orders – but few of them have been shipped to customers.

Because Ontario only allows online sales of cannabis, many residents have been left waiting two weeks for orders to arrive – and some report random cancellations of their orders.

University student Curtis Baller found out that his order had been cancelled after seeing a charge disappear from his credit card – not a notification from the OCS.“The most frustrating part to me is that the government forced a monopoly on both the supply and delivery on cannabis products, then failed to deliver,” Baller told the Guardian. Ontario’s ombudsmen has received more than 1,000 complaints about the site since it launched on 17 October.

Supply for retailers, either private or government, is dictated by contracts between the government and licensed suppliers, making shifting to new sources of cannabis to fill supply gaps a lengthy process.

“Health Canada is still licensing producers, existing producers are expanding facilities and at the end of the day, marijuana is a plant. It takes a certain amount of time to grow, process and package, ship and get tested,” said Wyonch.

The shortages are also likely to be costly for provincial and federal governments. In a policy paper developed with colleague Anindya Sen, Wyonch argues that the government could lose $800m in revenues to the black market – far outpacing the anticipated tax revenues of $300m-$600m in the first year of legalization.

For Tobin and his mother, one of the few private retailers with a retail licence, the shortage has turned what seemed like a lucrative business into a temporarily losing venture.

“I’m paying staff members to sit around with fingers crossed that we’ll receive [new stock]. We never do,” said Tobin. “I can’t keep operating the shop, losing money everyday paying staff with no product.”

Some see a potential silver lining to the shortage: the bottlenecks likely mean a large number of people have tried to shift from the black market to the legal space at a faster rate than anticipated.

But the risk remains that the move may be reversed if supply problems are not resolved.

“The government will likely be successful in eliminating the black market, as long as the legal supply comes online quickly. Otherwise, we risk potentially entrenching a black market,” said Wyonch.

But Tobin fears that the recent shortages have already pushed consumers away from the legal markets. Both new and prior cannabis users have expressed frustration that they can’t buy from his store, or any other retailer in the region.

“Now that we can’t supply them, they’re still going to find it,” he said. “There’s no shortage of weed in Labrador City. Just the legal stuff.”

$AMK.ca American Creek Reports That Drill Program on Gold Hill Project Near Fort Steele Is Proceeding on Schedule $SEA $SA $SKE.ca $TUD.ca $PVG $MRO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:20 AM on Monday, November 5th, 2018

https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.agoracom.com/public/companies/logos/562696/hub/HubLogoLarge2_copy.jpg

  • 100% owned Gold Hill property proceeding on schedule and includes up to 2,500 meters of drilling.
  • There are two main highly prospective targets on the property:1. The Midas prospect which is situated on the southern part of the property. The Midas is in an area of steep topography and is structurally controlled.2. The Big Chief prospect which is situated on the northern portion of the property. The Big Chief is located on an area of moderate relief and is formed by hydrothermal activity from intruded syenite dykes of Cretaceous age.

Cardston, Alberta–(November 5, 2018) –  American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (“American Creek”) (“the Corporation”) is pleased to report that the drill program being conducted on its 100% owned Gold Hill property located in the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the Wildhorse River east of Fort Steele, British Columbia is proceeding on schedule. The program includes up to 2,500 meters of drilling.

The Gold Hill property covers approximately 836 hectares and is located along the eastern edge of the Kimberly Gold Trend. The property is road accessible by paved highway to Fort Steele and then by main logging roads to (and through) the property. Driving time from Cranbrook to the center of the property is less than one hour.

The property contains a significant portion of the Boulder Creek drainage, a tributary of the Wild Horse River which is considered to be one of the greatest gold rivers in the entire province. Gold rushes have taken place there since the 1860’s that have yielded 48 tonnes of reported gold, making it Canada’s 4th largest placer producer. The majority of the gold recovered from the Wild Horse was located along a 6 km stretch between Boulder Creek (upstream) and Brewery Creek (downstream). Early efforts by prospectors to locate the source of the Wild Horse placer gold led explorers up Boulder Creek to what is now called the Gold Hill property.

Although lode gold was first found in the area by prospectors in 1865, the Gold Hill property has not been the subject of any systematic modern exploration and the property has never been drill tested. The apparent reason is that the property was tied up in Crown Grants for an extended period of time. Historic work conducted on the property in 1937 included drifting and sampling on the Big Chief prospect by The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company (CM&S – which became Cominco and is now Teck Resources Ltd.). CM&S conducted a car sampling program in which samples taken every 5 feet (1.5 meters) of advance along 40 feet (12 meters) of tunnel returned an average of 0.43 ounces (12 grams) of gold per ton with additional silver and base metal values.

In addition, face samples taken at 2 foot (0.6 meter) intervals along 22 feet (7 meters) of tunnel assayed 2.4 ounces per ton (68 grams) however, the face samples were likely subject to “nugget effect”. The tunnel driven by CM&S veered off the mineralized zone to explore a different part of the structure (where the gold values stopped).

Rock grab sampling conducted by American Creek in 2016 and 2017 included assays up to 25.14 g/t gold with 498.9 g/t silver in the northern Midas/Gold Hill area and up to 22.32 g/t gold on the Big Chief, and included the discovery of two new gold-bearing quartz veins.

Darren Blaney, CEO and President stated: “We are excited to be drilling on this project and look forward to what the drill may reveal. The fact that the property has never been drill tested in the past adds an extra level of anticipation. The weather has been very cooperative and the program is off to a great start.”

There are two main highly prospective targets on the property:

1. The Midas prospect which is situated on the southern part of the property. The Midas is in an area of steep topography and is structurally controlled.

2. The Big Chief prospect which is situated on the northern portion of the property. The Big Chief is located on an area of moderate relief and is formed by hydrothermal activity from intruded syenite dykes of Cretaceous age.

The property is nominally divided into north and south portions by Boulder Creek which flows westerly through the property. This portion of the exploration program is focused on the Big Chief prospect.

The drill program is designed to test the underlying formations at depth where they are intruded by the Syenite Porphyry. A report titled “Summary Report Untested Gold Targets on the Big Chief Property by David Pighin, P. Geo. (2014) theorizes that the syenite porphyry on the property may intrude the calcareous Cambrian Jubilee Formation at depth. Pighin further theorizes the calcareous Jubilee Formation is a more favorable host rock for mineral deposition. A hypothetical cross section exhibits the theoretical underlying formation and this drill hole is designed to test the theory.

Frank O’Grady, P.Eng., is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the Gold Hill Project and is directing the current drill program.

  • Detailed gold exploration results from the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt (FLGB)
  • Florence Lake Greenstone Belt is a 57 kilometre strike length of stratigraphy prospective for gold
  • Analyses received to date, primarily on two of the larger grids, Misery and Jasmine-Shirley, show significant gold anomalies
  • Gold in soil samples from the 5.7km by 2km grid covering the Misery carbonate alteration zone indicate four distinct soil anomalies.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 02, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Labrador Gold Corp. (TSX-V:LAB) (“Labrador Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce initial results from the first phase of detailed gold exploration in the Florence Lake greenstone belt (FLGB). The company controls a 57 kilometre strike length of stratigraphy prospective for gold in the belt. The exploration program at Florence Lake followed up on successful results of 2017 and included detailed soil sampling, geological mapping, rock sampling and prospecting along the length of the belt.

A total of 11,213 soil samples were taken on 12 grids at a 100m line spacing and 25m sample spacing across the FLGB. Results of 5,511 analyses received to date, primarily on two of the larger grids, Misery and Jasmine-Shirley, show significant gold anomalies typically associated with geological contacts. Analyses range from below detection limit, <0.25 parts per billion (ppb) to 2.22g/t Au, with 19 samples containing more than 0.1g/t Au. In addition, 551 samples greater than the 90th percentile are considered anomalous and require detailed follow up.

Gold in soil samples from the 5.7km by 2km grid covering the Misery carbonate alteration zone indicate four distinct soil anomalies with the two largest measuring 1,300m by 150 m and 750m by 100m, with nine samples containing more than 0.1g/t Au and ranging from 0.1 to 2.1g/t Au in the soil. Anomalies occur at the contact with ultramafic rock and felsic/mafic volcanic rocks and at the contact between ultramafic rocks and felsic intrusive rocks, both common sites of gold mineralization in greenstone belts.

Similarly, gold anomalies over the 2.6km by 0.6km Jasmine-Shirley soil grid occur along the contact between ultramafic rocks and sedimentary rocks (800m by 120m) and in a fold nose in the ultramafic rocks (400m by 250m) with values up to 0.36g/t Au in the soil. The Jasmine-Shirley grid also shows a strong arsenic soil anomaly associated with massive arsenopyrite mineralization with an along strike trend over 1km and highlights of between 0.1 and 1% As in the soil (see figures at www.labradorgold.com/Hopedale).

‘Results received for Misery and Jasmine-Shirley show specific gold targets, typical of greenstone hosted gold mineralization elsewhere in the world, defined by the detailed soil sampling on both grids, said Roger Moss, President and Chief Executive Officer of Labrador Gold. “Soil sampling is working to focus us on the highest potential mineralized areas of the belt and we will follow up these anomalies with detailed mapping, rock sampling and drilling during the next field season.”

“This summer’s program did exactly what we wanted it to do, identify and pin down the anomalous gold trend on a 25m scale,” added Shawn Ryan, Technical Advisor to Labrador Gold. “The intensity and strength of the targets, both in terms of size of the Misery anomaly and its location right along the contact of the felsic / ultramafic unit, indicates that we truly have a new mineralized system. Three other targets in the area all seem to be following the same pattern with anomalous gold seen along the contacts of either the felsic or mafic units with ultramafic rocks. These areas will be the focus of detailed mapping next season to identify high quality drill targets.”

All samples were dried in the field before being shipped to the Bureau Veritas preparation laboratory in Timmins, Ontario, with analyses completed at the Vancouver laboratory. Samples were analyzed for gold and another 36 elements by ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry) following an aqua regia digestion. The company routinely submits blanks, field duplicates and certified reference standards with batches of samples to monitor the quality of the analyses.

About Labrador Gold:

Labrador Gold is a Canadian based mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of prospective gold projects in the Americas. In 2017 Labrador Gold signed a Letter of Intent under which the Company has the option to acquire 100% of the 896 square kilometre (km2) Ashuanipi property in northwest Labrador and the Hopedale (458 km2) property in eastern Labrador.

The Hopedale property covers much of the Hunt River and Florence Lake greenstone belts that stretch over 80 km. The belts are typical of greenstone belts around the world but have been underexplored by comparison. Initial work by Labrador Gold during 2017 show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 3 kilometre section of the northern portion of the Florence Lake greenstone belt in the vicinity of the known Thurber Dog gold showing where grab samples assayed up to 7.8g/t gold. In addition, anomalous gold in soil and lake sediment samples occur over approximately 40 kilometres along the southern section of the greenstone belt (see news release dated January 25th 2018 for more details). Labrador Gold now controls approximately 57km strike length of the Florence Lake Greenstone Belt.

The Ashuanipi gold project is located just 35 km from the historical iron ore mining community of Schefferville, which is linked by rail to the port of Sept Iles, Quebec in the south. The claim blocks cover large lake sediment gold anomalies that, with the exception of local prospecting, have not seen a systematic modern day exploration program. Results of the 2017 reconnaissance exploration program following up the lake sediment anomalies show gold anomalies in soils and lake sediments over a 15 kilometre long by 2 to 6 kilometre wide north-south trend and over a 14 kilometre long by 2 to 4 kilometre wide east-west trend. The anomalies appear to be broadly associated with magnetic highs and do not show any correlation with specific rock types on a regional scale (see news release dated January 18th 2018). This suggests a possible structural control on the localization of the gold anomalies. Historical work 30 km north on the Quebec side led to gold intersections of up to 2.23 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 19.55 metres (not true width) (Source: IOS Services Geoscientifiques, 2012, Exploration and geological reconnaissance work in the Goodwood River Area, Sheffor Project, Summer Field Season 2011). Gold in both areas appears to be associated with similar rock types.

The Company has 51,592,552 common shares issued and outstanding and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol LAB.
