  • CR-18-636 returned 43.25 g/t Au over 2.1 metres, including 88.60 g/t Au over 1.0 metre in the 125-foot level bulk sample area, and Hole CR-18-647 returned 25.92 g/t Au over 3.4 metres in the 250-foot level bulk sample area.
  • Both these holes have increased the volume of ore planned to be mined. New wireframes for each area are being completed by an external consultant.
  • Continuous strong results warrant an additional 8,300 metres of drilling

MONTREAL, Oct. 4, 2018  – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarquews” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV: MQR) (OTCMKTS: MRQRF) (FRANKFURT: MR7) is pleased to report additional assay results from the 2018 diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Croinor Gold project 50 kilometres east of Val-d’Or, Québec. The initial 20,000-metre program started in March 2018 and focused on the expansion and infilling of the Croinor Gold deposit. The program was completed in early September with a total of 19,935 metres of core drilled in 89 holes. Drilling continued with one rig on the property and a second drill was added on September 17 to drill an additional 8,300 metres before the winter freeze.

The Phase 3 results are from a total of 6,790 metres of drilling in 36 holes (see longitudinal view). Assays have been received for 77 of the 89 holes drilled and logged (see table below and press releases dated July 10, 2018 and September 5, 2018).

The first 25 holes in the table below are from the two areas targeted for bulk sampling, on the 125-foot level and the 250-foot level of the old mine workings. These holes are infill and contour drill holes for the two zones, with a grid spacing of 10 metres by 10 metres, considering historical holes and holes drilled previously by Monarques. Hole CR-18-636 returned 43.25 g/t Au over 2.1 metres, including 88.60 g/t Au over 1.0 metre in the 125-foot level bulk sample area, and Hole CR-18-647 returned 25.92 g/t Au over 3.4 metres in the 250-foot level bulk sample area. Both these holes have increased the volume of ore planned to be mined. New wireframes for each area are being completed by an external consultant.

Near-mine exploration drilling has consistently returned positive results, with 8 of the 11 holes returning economic assays. Hole CR-18-653, drilled 41 metres up plunge from the nearest planned stope, returned 22.00 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, indicating that the gold system is still open to the west. Hole CR-18-649 is a down dip hole drilled into the host diorite to test the deposit at depth and returned 9.59 g/t Au over 1.0 metre, indicating that the deposit is still open at depth.

“We continue to be impressed by these high-grade results on Croinor Gold, which prompted us to drill an additional 8,300 metres,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “The success of our 2018 drilling program also shows that we have a better understanding of the deposit. This supplementary 8,300-metre drilling program is designed to pass between the planned stopes, where there are no drill results, to increase the tonnage in the Croinor Gold deposit before mining starts, and to drill around the periphery of the deposit to follow up on positive assay results to extend the resource to the west, where it is still open. As I have said before, we believe that the Croinor Gold discovery potential remains essentially untapped.”

Phase 3 drill results from the Croinor Gold project

 

* The width shown is the core length. True width is estimated to be 90-95% of the core length.

** 125=125 Foot Level Bulk Sample; 250=250 Foot Level Bulk Sample; NME=Near Mine Exploration.

*** Holes CR-18-648 and CR-18-649 were drilled down dip, parallel to the diorite, to test for the presence of multiple directions of quartz veining. The width shown is the core length. True width is estimated to be 30-35% of the core length.

 

Sampling normally consists of sawing the core into two equal halves along its main axis and shipping one of the halves to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Val-d’Or for assaying. The samples are crushed, pulverized and assayed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish. Results exceeding 3.0 g/t are re-assayed using the gravity method, and samples containing gold grains are assayed using the metallic sieve method. Monarques uses a comprehensive QA/QC protocol, including the insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates.

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Ronald G. Leber, P.Geo., the Corporation’s qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.

Tetra Bio-Pharma $TBP.ca Moves PPP001 Closer to Commercial Manufacturing with the Issuance of a Drug Establishment License to Ford’s Pharmacy $AERO $CBDS $CGRW $APH.ca $GBLX

  • Developed and implemented a pharmaceutical quality system for Canada’s first botanical-based prescription drug PPP001
  • The Good Manufacturing Practices, Regulatory Operations and Regions Branch, Health Canada completed the inspection of Ford’s manufacturing facility

ORLEANS, Ontario, Oct. 03, 2018 – Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc., a leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery and development (TSX VENTURE: TBP) (OTCQB: TBPMF), in partnership with Ford’s Family Pharmacy and Wellness Center, have developed and implemented a pharmaceutical quality system for Canada’s first botanical-based prescription drug PPP001. The Good Manufacturing Practices, Regulatory Operations and Regions Branch, Health Canada completed the inspection of Ford’s manufacturing facility. A Drug Establishment License (DEL) was granted after having inspected and assessed the facility as being in compliance with the requirements of Divisions 2 to 4 of the Food and Drug Regulations thereby allowing Ford’s to conduct the fabrication, packaging and labeling of PPP001.

Dr. Guy Chamberland, M.Sc., Ph.D., Interim CEO and CSO of Tetra Bio-Pharma stated, “This is a significant accomplishment for Tetra and Ford’s. The manufacturing of a botanical drug is a complex operation and we have demonstrated to Health Canada that we are able to manufacture PPP001 in compliance with the requirements for a prescription drug. The DEL was required not just to manufacture the commercial lots but simply to enable Tetra to apply for approval and obtain the Drug Identification Number (DIN). Tetra is now in an excellent position to focus its activities on scale-up to ensure that we can supply the market demand for a first cannabis botanical drug. The DEL, a recognition of the pharmaceutical GMP quality process by Health Canada, was a critical milestone for Tetra to achieve thereby allowing the corporation to accelerate its plans to register cannabis drugs around the world including Europe and the USA.”

Dr. Peter Ford, CEO of Ford’s Family Pharmacy and Wellness Centre stated, “This has been a true team effort between Tetra and Ford’s and will potentially represent the very first smokable dosage form in Canada and beyond. We are both very much committed to the DIN application.”

Ofer Yifrach-Stav, Tetra Bio-Pharma Vice President, Pharmaceutical Compliance and Quality, said, “Tetra is proud to present a significant milestone in the development of PPP001, a prescription drug that contains a botanical ingredient, manufactured under the stringent requirements and regulations of Health Canada. The GMP inspection addressed a wide range of production activities, and the results demonstrate our consistent adherence to establish procedures at every step of the production process, as well as our ability to provide a high-quality, clean, safe and reliable product. We are excited to take the next steps in the development of cannabis botanical drugs with the potential of making them widely available to the public.”

Programmatic is the fastest growing segment of the U.S. digital display advertising marketplace, and is projected to expand 26.3% to $46.55 billion, according to updated estimates released by eMarketer on the eve of Advertising Week in New York City this week.

That’s a slightly faster rate of expansion than the overall digital display market, which eMarketer projects will grow 25.4% to $57.42 billion.

The only digital segment growing faster this year, is essentially a form of programmatic advertising — search — which will expand 27.7% to $48.49 billion.

As part of the update, eMarketer also released new long-term projections for the major digital marketplace players, which shows Amazon continuing to gain market share.

eMarketer, which last month estimated Amazon will overtake Microsoft as the third biggest digital advertising platform after Google and Facebook will also cut into Google’s market share over the next two years, to capture a 7.0% share of digital advertising in 2020.

While Google will remain the overall market leader, Amazon also has, or is on the verge of supplanting Google’s YouTube division.
