#Gold up, heads for longest string of weekly gains since January $AMK.ca $EXS.ca $MQR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:36 AM on Friday, October 26th, 2018
  • Gold prices edged up on Friday and were on track to rise for the fourth straight week,
  • The longest string of weekly gains since January, as Asian stocks slumped amid increasing worries over the outlook for U.S. corporate earnings and global economic slowdown

Asian shares skidded to 20-month lows, S&P futures fell sharply and China’s yuan weakened at the end of a turbulent week for financial markets on Friday.

Spot gold was up 0.27 percent at $1,234.88 an ounce. It was up 0.7 percent for the week.

U.S. gold futures were up 0.4 percent at $1,237.30 an ounce.

“We had a pretty good rally in gold since the stock market crash. People are more concerned about the current geo-political risks and gold is being looked at more favourably now than in the past,” said Yuichi Ikemizu, Tokyo branch manager, ICBC Standard Bank.

Financial markets have been whipsawed in recent sessions on concerns over global growth as investors fretted over Sino-U.S. trade frictions, a mixed bag of U.S. corporate earnings, Federal Reserve rate hikes and Italian budget woes.

Gold, used as an alternative investment during times of political and financial uncertainty, has gained about 6 percent after falling in mid-August to their lowest since January 2017 at $1,159.96 an ounce.

However, the yellow metal has declined about 10 percent from its April peak after investors preferred the dollar as the U.S.-China trade war unfolded against a background of higher U.S. interest rates.

“Gold markets have entered a new trading zone of $1,228-$1,238, with investor mood swings on the S&P steering the ship,” said Stephen Innes, APAC trading head at OANDA in Singapore.

“The short-term narrative is caught between a hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve and a weaker equity market now.”

A target range of $1,252-$1,263 per ounce has been aborted for spot gold, as it failed again to break a resistance at $1,238, according to Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao.

Meanwhile, the dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, was down 0.1 percent.

Among other precious metals, palladium was down 0.13 percent at $1,198.50 an ounce, but away from a record high of $1,150.50 an ounce hit on Tuesday.

“Concerns around U.S. sanctions on Russia have eased a little bit, so not surprising to see investors lock in some of the gains (in palladium) achieved in the past week. But it still looks fairly constructive at least in the short-term,” ANZ analyst Daniel Hynes said.

Silver rose 0.21 percent to $14.64 per ounce, and platinum was up 0.72 percent at $828.90 an ounce.

How This #Blockchain Innovation Could Impact Billions $IDK.ca $HIVE.ca $BLOC.ca $CODE.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:42 AM on Friday, October 26th, 2018

  • Everest, a blockchain startup that began generating revenue in 2017 and now has 12 employees, is working to provide people in the developing world with a blockchain identity that will connect everyone to the 21st-century economy.
  • Founder Bob Reid, 48, says, “Everest gives the average person the ability to prove who they are, exchange value with another individual or institution, and utilize technology provided by an organization, facility, or agent army.”

There are two social issues the team hopes to address with their technology, he says.

  1. Human Trafficking: By creating an identity utility for humanity, Everest aims to combat human trafficking by supplying a simple means for parents to enroll their children, then, in the case something bad happens, the parent has the ability to flag their children as “missing.” Further, by providing a simple mobile phone app, first responders and healthcare workers are able to screen individuals to make sure that they have not been reported as missing.
  2. Borrowing Costs for Low-Income People: In frontier and developing markets the cost of capital is artificially high because of the perceived higher risk profile due to a lack of verifiable identities of people. By providing everyone with a durable, verifiable identity, and an attached digital wallet, we are bridging those individuals into a digital economy where the cost of capital is dramatically reduced.

With two IPOs and two other successful exits under his belt, Reid has the credibility to back up that statement with action. Be sure to watch the full interview in the video player at the top of the article.

Athman Ali, CEO of impact investing firm 1000 Alternatives, has partnered with Everest to address some of the economic challenges facing people and countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The partnership was originally focused on reducing transportation costs in the region—cut costs of transport and the cost of almost everything else will fall, too.

“We have since deepened our partnership to position the Everest platform for use by innovators, incubation hubs and social entrepreneurs to spur innovations in the various areas that 1000 Alternatives focuses towards achieving positive social impact,” Ali says.

The expanded relationship now includes another area with the potential to impact people in dramatic ways. “Legal identity, land titles tracking and documentation of ownership and transfers of assets remain a big challenge in African countries,” Ali says. “Opportunities to use the blockchain platform to improve services in education, health and livelihoods is another set of opportunities.”

For his part, Reid likes to start a conversation with context by providing some big numbers. He says, 1.1 billion lack an ID, 2.5 billion are unbanked and 5 billion don’t have a smartphone. He sees these big numbers as both problems to be solved and as an opportunity.

He hopes to take “people from the 9th-century economy to a 21st-century economy in one step,” suggesting that some of the people whom he hopes to help are operating in a barter economy today.

Everest will generate revenue in a variety of ways but has already begun by providing biometric identity verification, charging between two and seven cents per verification. There are a few other players in the space, he says, who are charging fees in the same range. The firm will also charge for financial transactions, perhaps $2 for a remittance or 0.5% fee on new microloans. In addition, business services will generate revenue from the sale of software development kits (SDKs) and access licenses. Everest will also provide integration services to help businesses connect legacy data to the new platform.

Toronto #Overwatch #Esports team name and colours unveiled $GMBL $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $TCEHF $Game.ca $EPY.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:23 PM on Thursday, October 25th, 2018

  • OverActive Media, the group behind the new Toronto eSports team coming to the Overwatch League, unveiled its name and colours today.
  • Toronto Defiant is one of eight new teams added to the lineup this year and one of two in Canada.
  • Vancouver will also have a team but has yet to announce its name

By Christopher Whan

After making the jump from the Canadian Olympic team to eSports, CEO of OverActive Media Chris Overholt says his team has put a lot of time and effort into this venture and is excited to see people’s reactions.

“We’ve been working really hard over the last couple of months,” said Overholt. “We know this kind of thing doesn’t happen overnight and we are really appreciative of our fans.”

The announcement was made to a sold-out crowd at the Berkeley Church in downtown Toronto. According to Overholt, the interest was unexpected, and tickets for the event sold out in 14 minutes.

“We’re very happy with the level of support from our fans,” said Overholt.

The palette of colours that ownership had to chose from was provided by Blizzard Entertainment, the company that develops the game and owns the league. The team at OverActive Media decided to go with red, black, white and pewter, not only because of its imposing nature in competition but also because they believe that it captures the spirit of Toronto.

Plus its similar to the Canadian Olympic team palette which Overholt says he’s familiar with through his former job at with the Olympic team.

“Its got a bit of an edge,” aid Overholt. “As we went along in this, we spent a lot of time discussing that Toronto is a world-class city as well as its grittiness.”

WATCH: Intense & lucrative eSports gaming world

According to Overholt, the Defiant name is not necessarily to stand in defiance of something but to “embody the endemic feeling of standing tall.”

“There’s a little bit of wear and tear on the logo,” said Overholt. “We added that because we believe it represents the resilience and grittiness of our city and we believe we will be strong representatives of not only the league but also the area we cover.”

Toronto has been placed in the Atlantic Division of the league and will compete for the championship when the 2019 season starts on Feb. 14.

American Creek $AMK.ca Commences Gold Hill Property Drill and Exploration Program $SEA $SA $SKE.ca $TUD.ca $PVG $MRO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:05 AM on Thursday, October 25th, 2018

  • Commenced an exploration program 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
  • Program includes up to 2,500 meters of drilling

Cardston, Alberta–(October 25, 2018) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV:AMK) (“American Creek”) (“the Corporation”) is pleased to report that it has commenced an exploration program 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. 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.

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 will concentrate on the Big Chief prospect.

One of the planned drill holes 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.

Other drill holes will test additional prospective targets.

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

Electrum Option Agreement

The Corporation also reports that it has granted Tudor Gold Corp. (“Tudor”) an additional extension for the previously announced option to buy out the Corporation’s 40% interest in the Electrum Project Joint Venture located near Stewart, British Columbia. Tudor paid the Corporation a non-refundable payment of $50,000 upon entering the original agreement. If the option is exercised by Tudor, a further payment of $2,650,000 will be made to the Corporation on or before December 15, 2018.

This transaction is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

About American Creek

American Creek holds a strong portfolio of gold and silver properties in British Columbia.

Three of those properties are located in the prolific “Golden Triangle”; the Treaty Creek and Electrum joint venture projects with Tudor (Walter Storm) as well as the 100% owned past producing Dunwell Mine.

The Corporation also holds the Gold Hill, Austruck-Bonanza, Ample Goldmax, Silver Side, and Glitter King properties located in other prospective areas of the province.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 25, 2018 / GGX Gold Corp. (TSX-v: GGX), (OTCQB: GGXXF), (FRA: 3SR2) (the “Company” or “GGX“) is pleased to announce it has received remaining analytical results from its 2018 winter diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood, B.C. These include results for drill holes COD18-55 to COD18-60 which tested the area of the COD Vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Eight samples from these holes exceeded 1 gram / tonne (g/t) gold. Previously reported gold intersections (including high grade gold) from the 2018 drilling program include:

  • COD18-3: 14.62 g/t Au over 2.1 meters
  • COD18-37: 8.23 g/t Au over 3.95 meters
  • COD18-45: 50.1 g/t Au over 2.05 meters
  • COD18-46: 54.9 g/t Au over 1.47 meters

 

Gold bearing quartz vein with high grade gold in drill hole COD18-45
(50.1 g/t gold over 2.05meters)

 

The analytical results listed below are highlights from drill holes COD18-55 to COD18-60 (intersections greater than 1 g/t gold), testing the continuation of the COD Vein in the area of the 2017 trench at the COD Vein. Since true widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available the core lengths (meters) are reported. The gold, silver and tellurium analyses are reported in grams per tonne (g/t).

The samples listed in the preceding table include quartz veining (plus or minus calcite) and / or altered granodiorite. Pyrite is present in all samples, both in veining and wall rock.

The 2018 winter drilling program focused on testing and defining the COD Vein, a Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein. Trenching during 2017 exposed the northeast – southwest striking COD Vein for over 160 meter strike length. The majority of the drill holes tested the COD Vein with significant levels of gold, silver and tellurium intersected in numerous holes as reported in News Releases of May 29, June 14, June 27, July 11, July 19, July 25, August 1, August 9, August 15, August 22, August 30 and September 6. These included holes in the area of the 2017 trench and holes southwest of the 2017 trench. More significant gold intersections (core length) from the 2018 winter program at the COD Vein are as follows:

  • COD18-3: 14.62 g/t Au over 2.1 meters
  • COD18-26: 10.3 g/t Au over 1.4 meter recovered core (within 2.35 meter interval)
  • COD18-28: 11.3 g/t Au over 0.51 meters
  • COD18-33: 8.65 g/t Au over 2.98 meters

  • COD18-49: 9.52 g/t Au over 1.47 meters
  • COD18-54: 7.60 g/t Au over 1.66 meters

 

The 2018 drilling program also tested the continuation of the Everest Vein, which is located southwest of the COD Vein worksite. The Everest Vein was first discovered by Company prospectors during the 2017. Chip samples collected in 2017 across the approximate 0.4 meter wide vein exposure returned up to 52.8 g/t gold and 377 g/t silver while a grab sample of a quartz vein boulder broken off the outcrop by the excavator returned 81.8 g/t gold and 630 g/t silver (News Release of August 21, 2017).

The Everest Vein 2018 drill holes are located approximately 350 to 800 meters south of the area of 2017 and 2018 COD Vein drill holes. High gold intersections (core length) from the 2018 winter drill program at the Everest Vein include:

  • EVE18-5: 10.55 g/t Au over 0.45 meters
  • EVE18-12: 12.45 g/t Au over 0.85 meters

 

In addition to the gold discovered by the Company at the COD and Everest veins, gold mineralization is reported in quartz veins in the east and north regions of the property. These include the Gold Drop, North Star and the Silent Friend quartz veins in the east region of the property and Amandy, Roderick Dhu, Lady of the Lake, Lake View and Moonlight in northern region of the property. High grade gold is reported for historic samples at some of these veins with samples reported to exceed 1 oz. / ton gold. Historic gold production occurred at the Gold Drop, North Star, Amandy and Roderick Dhu veins.

Drill core from the 2018 winter program was geologically logged and sampled. Drill core was sawn in half with half core samples submitted for analysis and remaining half core stored in a secure location. Core samples were delivered to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver to be analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – AA. Samples exceeding 100 g/t gold were re-analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – Gravimetric Finish. The samples were also analyzed for 48 Elements by Four Acid ICP-MS. Samples exceeding 100 g/t silver were re-analyzed for silver by Four Acid ICP-AES. One sample from COD18-46 exceeded 1500 g/t silver and was re-analyzed for silver by Fire Assay – Gravimetric Finish. Quality control (QC) samples were inserted at regular intervals.

‘Shaky’ Global Stock Markets Trigger Bid For #Gold Says #Sprott $SII.ca $AMK.ca $EXS.ca $MQR.ca

  • Volatility in global stock markets is boosting demand for gold, which has stood “the test of time,” said Eric Sprott, billionaire precious metals investor and founder of Sprott Inc.
  • As central banks around the world stepped up gold purchases, shouldn’t investors follow suit, Sprott was asked during the company’s Weekly Wrap-Up segment.

(Kitco News) – Volatility in global stock markets is boosting demand for gold, which has stood “the test of time,” said Eric Sprott, billionaire precious metals investor and founder of Sprott Inc.

As central banks around the world stepped up gold purchases, shouldn’t investors follow suit, Sprott was asked during the company’s Weekly Wrap-Up segment.

“In India, the central bank bought some gold for the first time in over a decade. Hungarians increased their gold [tenfold to 31.5] tons. Poland also made purchases,” Sprott said. And that’s aside from continued purchases of Russia and China, he added.

In the meantime, physical demand is also picking up, with India importing 95 metric tons of gold in August, Sprott added.

These are all positive numbers that investors should be paying attention to because there’s significant risk in the markets and gold is a proven safe-haven asset, he explained.

“There are lots of reasons to think that the Federal Reserve will have to change. It is uncertain what the Fed will do. You should not automatically count on four rate increases next year,” Sprott said.

On top of that, most stock markets in the world are in a bear market, he pointed out.

“Look at China, [the stocks] was down 32% this year. There are a lot of liquidity issues in a lot of markets, and when you’re the last man standing, [investors] are going to be selling American stocks first, because they’re the ones that are theoretically liquid,” he said. “The structure of markets is very risky … [And] as things get shaky here in the markets, you see the safe-safe-haven bid coming into gold,” Sprott said.

On Tuesday, equities dropped for the fifth consecutive session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is seeing its worst monthly decline in three years and the S&P 500 is seeing its worst monthly performance in seven years, according to reports.

Meanwhile, the December Comex gold futures touched a three-week high of $1,242 Tuesday on increased safe-haven demand.

“The yellow metal was boosted by safe-haven demand amid keener geopolitical uncertainty in the marketplace. Gold prices did back off their daily highs as the U.S. stock indexes moved up from their daily lows,” said Kitco’s senior technical analyst Jim Wyckoff. “Global stock markets saw risk aversion return to the marketplace today amid heightened geopolitical tensions. China’s stock indexes were sharply down after good gains posted Monday. South Korea’s and Japan’s stock markets were also sharply lower.”

Demand for #marijuana real estate ‘astronomical’ as Canada legalizes $BOG.ca $NBUD.ca $MCOA $AERO $CBDS $CGRW $APH.ca $GBLX $ACG $ACB $WEED.ca $HIP.ca

  • Demand for marijuana facilities, including greenhouses, indoor grow-ops and warehouses will put more demand on the country’s already tight supply of industrial real estate.
  • British Columbia and Ontario combined took up more than half of the existing grow-op space, Altus said.

The rush for cannabis is on in Canada and so is finding the real estate to grow it.

The legalization of recreational weed on Wednesday has already fuelled a sixfold surge in pot-growing facilities to 8.7 million square feet (808,256 square meters) in the year through September, according to data from Altus Group Ltd. — space about the size of Amazon.com Inc.’s Seattle headquarters. Publicly listed companies have another 6.4 million square feet on the drawing board, not including retail.

“It’s grown astronomically,” Raymond Wong, vice president of data operations at Toronto-based Altus, said by phone. “With the publicly traded companies, there’s a lot more investment in these areas with anticipated growth and available capital, and they’re acquiring and expanding their existing facilities.”

The demand for marijuana facilities, including greenhouses, indoor grow-ops and warehouses will put more demand on the country’s already tight supply of industrial real estate. British Columbia and Ontario combined took up more than half of the existing grow-op space, Altus said.

Wong said expansion plans are likely conservative as it excludes private companies’ anticipated growth. “There’s a whole other market out there that anticipates further growth in this area,” he said. “We don’t see this slowing down.”
