Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – GREAT ATLANTIC RESOURCES CORP. (TSXV.GR) (the “Company” or “Great Atlantic”) is pleased to announce it has commenced the 2018 exploration program at its Pilley’s Island Base – Precious Metal Property, located in north-central Newfoundland, Newfoundland and Labrador. The property was expanded in 2018 to 4,600 hectares, covering most of Pilley’s Island. The current work program consists of prospecting and rock and soil geochemical sampling on a regional scale covering multiple target areas. The Company confirmed significant levels of zinc, lead, copper, gold and silver mineralization during 2017 within the property at the Bull Road Showing. The Company is also planning a diamond drilling program for 2018 at the Bull Road Showing.

The focus of Great Atlantic’s work to date on the property has been the Bull Road showing, located in the southern region of Pilley’s Island. A trench was excavated in 2017 at this showing exposing sulfide mineralization over a northwest-southeast length of 130 meters with a width varying between 1-7 meters. The Bull Road Showing is a polylithic slump breccia of volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralization containing massive sulphide clasts up to greater than a meter in length. Sample results from this trench are reported in the Company’s News Releases of November 16 and December 14, 2017. Bull Road Trench sample highlights include (channel sample lengths are in meters):

  • 1.05m channel sample: 15.40% Zn, 6.60% Pb, 4.66% Cu, 111.5 g/t Ag and 1.008 g/t Au.

 

  • 0.70m channel sample: 17.30% Zn, 0.10% Pb, 2.97% Cu, 31.2 g/t Ag and 0.449 g/t Au.

 

  • 0.95m channel sample: 3.95% Zn, 0.73% Pb, 2.83% Cu, 62.2 g/t Ag and 0.613 g/t Au.

 

  • 1.00m channel sample: 2.96% Zn, 0.03% Pb, 3.27% Cu, 30.4 g/t Ag and 0.563 g/t Au

 

  • Outcrop grab sample: 40.8% Zn, 4.69% Pb, 6.08% Cu, 22.5 g/t Ag and 1.366 g/t Au.

 

  • Outcrop grab sample: 32.60% Zn, 1.30% Pb, 8.38% Cu, 148.1 g/t Ag and 1.421 g/t Au

 

  • Outcrop grab sample: 36.40% Zn, 5.50% Pb, 4.22% Cu, 59.9 g/t Ag and 0.325 g/t Au

 

  • Outcrop grab sample: 27.5% Zn, 20.0% Pb, 5.78% Cu, 63.4 g/t Ag and 0.314 g/t Au

The 2017 samples were analyzed at Eastern Analytical in Springdale Newfoundland (gold by Fire Assay – atomic absorption (AA); and copper, lead, zinc and silver by multi-acid digestion and AA). The channels samples were collected across selected clasts at generally right angles to the long dimension of the clasts.  The 2017 Bull Road trench sample data was verified by qualified persons who managed the sampling program and verified sample data.

Great Atlantic is planning a diamond drilling program for fall 2018 at the Bull Road showing.

The Pilley’s Island Property hosts the historic Pilley’s Island Mine, which operated during the 1890s and early 1900s. The Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources reports historic estimated proven reserves of 1.159 million tonnes grading 1.23% Cu (referencing Grimley, 1968 as the source) or 627,373 tons at 2.34% Cu (referencing Walker, 1976 as the source ) in their Mineral Occurrence Database. David Martin, VP Exploration for Great Atlantic, states “These historical estimates of reserves are not reliable. The historical estimates are only relevant to the extent of identifying an area on the property for research and possible future exploration. The key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historical estimates are not known.  A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as current resources or current reserves. A qualified person would need to complete sufficient work following CIM Best Practice Guidelines to upgrade or verify the historical estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. This would almost certainly require additional exploration in the way of diamond drilling, trenching and / or underground work and corresponding sampling all of which must follow CIM Exploration Best Practice Guidelines.” Great Atlantic is not treating the historical estimates for the historic Pilley’s Island Mine as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

Access to and infrastructure at the Pilley’s Island Property is excellent. The property is serviced with power mains and government maintained roads and is within 2 km of tide water. The property is located within a mining friendly district.

Readers are warned that historical data on the historic Pilley’s Island Mine referred to in this News Release have not been verified by a qualified person. A qualified person has not verified this data as the Company’s focus since acquiring the property in 2017 has been the Bull Road showing.

David Martin, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and VP Exploration for Great Atlantic, is responsible for the technical information contained in this News Release.

PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Announces Intention to Purchase Up to 4.1% of its Common Shares in Open Market

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:42 AM on Thursday, September 6th, 2018

Pyr header 1

  • Announced today that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid  through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange
  • Pursuant to the NCIB, PyroGenesis proposes to purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months, up to 5,000,000 (approx. 4.1%) of its common shares issued and outstanding

MONTREAL, Sept. 06, 2018 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR), a TSX Venture 50® high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

Pursuant to the NCIB, PyroGenesis proposes to purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months, up to 5,000,000 (approx. 4.1%) of its common shares issued and outstanding (the “Shares”). As of the date hereof, there are 122,895,342 Shares of PyroGenesis issued and outstanding.

Purchases under the NCIB will commence on acceptance and approval of the TSXV and will expire on the earlier of: (i) one year from such commencement; or (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of Shares to be acquired under the NCIB. All purchases made by the Company will be through Pollitt & Co. Inc. acting on behalf of the Company in accordance with the rules of the TSXV. The actual number of Shares which will be purchased, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by the Company, and the price which the Company will pay for the Shares will be the market price at the time of the purchase.

The Company’s Board of Directors believe that the market price of the Company’s Shares does not reflect the underlying value of the Company, specifically its growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its Shares is in the best interests of the Company and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds. Any purchases made by the Company could also enhance value and liquidity for its ongoing shareholders.

“At these price levels, we find the value of our shares to be an attractive investment and, as such, a good use of funds, particularly given our recent press releases which describe, amongst other things that (i) the Company contracted for an order of 10 tons (minimum) of titanium powders, (ii) is now recommended by a leading 3D printer OEM to their customers, (iii) has embraced a tolling strategy for its Drosrite™ system with joint venture discussions in progress, and (iv) interest by the US Military for two (2) aircraft carrier systems continues.  This is all within the background of being nominated “Materials Company of the Year” at the 3D Printing Industry Awards 2018, and continued strategic commercial discussions with significant players within the Additive Manufacturing industry,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Despite our daily trading volume being respectable, we believe that the share price does not fully reflect this news. We find it inconceivable that PyroGenesis is approximately half the market value than it was at the end of January 2018, particularly given the news released since that time. As such, we feel it is an opportune time to buy PyroGenesis’ shares.”

$GGX.ca GGX Gold Drills 1.66 m of 7.6 g/t Au, 60 g/t Ag at Gold Drop #K.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:33 AM on Thursday, September 6th, 2018

https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.agoracom.com/public/companies/logos/564602/hub/ggx_large.png

  • Holes COD18-52 to COD18-54. The COD gold bearing vein is located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone.
  • 7.6 g/t gold, 60.2 g/t silver and 34.1 g/t tellurium over 1.66 meter core length in drill hole COD18-54
  •   COD18-54 was collared approximately 50 meters northeast drill hole COD17-14 which intersected the 4.59 g/t gold over 16.03 m

GGX Gold Corp has received additional analytical results from its diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood, B.C. Drill core analytical results have been received for 2018 drill holes COD18-52 to COD18-54 which tested the COD Vein. The COD gold bearing vein is located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. High grade gold has been confirmed within the COD Vein during the 2018 drill program with some core samples exceeding 1 oz. / ton gold. Gold bearing quartz veins are also reported in the east and north regions of the property, with historic samples reported to exceed 1 oz. / ton gold for veins in both areas.

The analytical results listed below are highlights from drill holes COD18-52 to COD18-54 (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 highlight from these analytical results is the intersection of 7.6 g/t gold, 60.2 g/t silver and 34.1 g/t tellurium over 1.66 meter core length in drill hole COD18-54, including 35.8 g/t gold, 276 g/t silver and 154.5 g/t tellurium over 0.30 meter core length. This interval of quartz veining/ flooding and altered granodiorite is at approximately 20 meter vertical depth. This hole was collared approximately 50 meters northeast drill hole COD17-14 which intersected the 4.59 g/t gold over 16.03 meter core length, including 10.96 g/t gold over 5.97 meter core length (News Release of September 7, 2017).

The 2018 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. Numerous 2018 drill holes testing the COD Vein intersected significant levels of gold, silver and tellurium 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 and August 30. These included holes in the area of the 2017 trench and holes southwest of the 2017 trench. More significant gold intersections (core length) to date from the 2018 program 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 COD18-34: 6.16 g/t Au over 3.41 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 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 approximately 600 meters 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).

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 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.

Canada’s #Esports tournament creates its own #cryptocurrency $GMBL $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $TCEHF $Game.ca $EPY.ca

  • A Canadian eSports company is the latest to try and offer its own cryptocurrency
  • Canada Cup is introducing the eSports ecosystem digital token (because, apparently, it couldn’t be creative enough to come up with a unique name), which will reportedly empower all gamers through the creation of a digital eSports currency specifically for the community

BY Erik Gibbs ON September 05, 2018

ESE will offer a medium to transfer value, reward both casual and professional players and compliment the current fiat-based payout structure. The token is designed, as described by Canada Cup, to fill a gap that prevents a number of casual gamers from being rewarded for their participation.

ESE token holders can passively earn more tokens through Canada Cup’s “staking rewards” program. This will provide an additional income source to both gamers and organizers, which will help them finance future participation. An ESE Loyalty Nodes program is also anticipated, and is designed to provide stability to the token award program above and beyond the passive awards users can accumulate. The staking rewards and Loyalty Nodes programs won’t be ready until sometime during the first quarter of next year.

A community wallet, representing 17% of the token’s initial supply, will be used to give back to the community. It will offer a variety of prize pools, player and team sponsorships, scholarships, charity donations and eSports advertisements.

Canada Cup, which was founded in 2010, hosts a number of tournaments for a variety of fighting games and is behind “the largest and most prestigious fighting game tournament in Canada,” the Canadian Fighting Game tournament.

According to the ESE white paper (in pdf), the currency will solve a number of problems, including complimenting fiat payouts by adding ESE tokens from the community wallet, which would increase the value of the total prize pool to support professional gamers financially and make it easier to transition into a gaming career.

It also promises to broaden payout structures to allow more players to reap rewards from tournaments, which means rewards are no longer limited to the top echelon of players, but can be extended to casual players due to an increased prize pool. Lastly, the currency will encourage tournament organizers to continue hosting events by supporting these events financially with ESE tokens from the community wallet to ensure that these events are sustainable, according to the company.

How Online education #edtech is beneficial for students from remote areas in #India $BTRU.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:41 PM on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018

  • A country’s growth is governed by many factors, and education is one of them.
  • While schools in the urban areas are complemented by state-of-the-art infrastructure, facilities, and teachers; schools in the rural areas struggle with necessary facilities like toilets and lack a proper teaching staff.
  • Needless to say, this results in a reduced sense of motivation among students and is a significant cause of poor quality of education in rural schools

Despite 85% of the government schools being in villages, students in rural areas rarely get the quality education that could benefit them. This leads to a loss of potential talent which could have contributed to the progress of the country. Keeping in mind the fact that numerous successful IAS aspirants are from rural areas, there are no limits to what these students could achieve if they are given access to quality education.

Non-Profit Organizations:

To battle this imminent problem, many non-profit organizations like eVidyaloka are now trying to improve the quality learning by bringing online education to rural classrooms. Their prime purpose is to bring about a knowledgeable and empowered rural India through the provision of quality education. The “each one, teach one” ideology encourages educated professionals to take time out of their schedules to deliver online lectures to students from rural areas.

The students thus not only get the quality education they lack, but they also get taught by teachers who are enthusiastic about teaching, which also goes a long way in boosting their morale. Online education enhances the learning outcome of students through learning modules that are focused on their classroom syllabus.

The language also poses a barrier when it comes to teaching in rural areas. NGOs, however, have overcome this barrier through an active tutor management program that focuses on taking on volunteers who are comfortable teaching in the local language, although it might not be their medium of instruction during their school days!

Government Initiatives:

The government has also played a significant role in bringing about an educational reform through online learning. The Ministry of Human Resource Development has recently launched three initiatives – Swayam, Swayam Prabha, and National Academic Depository, which aim to take the e-learning sector in India to the next level. At the inauguration of these initiatives, former President Pranab Mukherjee talked about how digital technology can enable excellent teachers to directly teach a large number of students who are not physically present in classes. The interactive learning experience will thus allow students in the remote parts of the country to benefit from lectures delivered by highly qualified teachers.

Swayam and Swayam Prabha are a rendition of digital classrooms that enable students from rural areas to connect either through the Internet or direct-to-home service and access educational content. Swayam offers courses through digital classes, and the study material is available online in the form of videos. Everything is available free of cost; however, students who want certificates will need to get registered.

India’s Chief Economic Advisor, Arvind Subramanian has also prepared a series of lectures on the Indian economy which can be accessed via Swayam and Swayam Prabha. The course structure of these online and digital classrooms will cover every aspect of education from class nine onwards, and will also include preparatory courses for competitive exams, including modules for preparation of IITs and IAS exams.

If not Internet, then DTH:

For the remote areas which still lack the facilities of a stable Internet connection, the Government will use alternative methods of communication. Swayam Prabha aims to tap into the potential utilization of Direct-to-Home (DTH) Service, and plans are already in place for setting up of a dish antenna that would give students access to 32 educational channels run by the HRD ministry. According to Dr. Pankaj Mittal, the Additional Secretary in UGC, these channels will broadcast new content of a duration of at least four hours, and this would be repeated five more times in a day, thus allowing students to view this content according to their convenience.

The online classrooms offered by government and non-profit organizations alike work towards one common goal: to provide equal quality of education to students in rural areas. These classroom programs are bridging the gap in quality education, and are thus empowering these students to do more with their lives. Thanks to these active initiatives, students in rural areas are also becoming aware of the variety of career paths they could follow, a privilege that they’d never had before.

Methods of teaching and learning processes make all the difference when it comes to education. These are also the main factors responsible for the stark contrast in the quality of education in the rural and urban areas. Online education can bridge this gap and bring to rural students the education they most rightly deserve.

  • Tartisan has a detailed three-pronged exploration strategy for the Kenbridge Deposit.
  • First, analysis of the structural and deformational setting of the Kenbridge Project through surface mapping and geophysics as Tartisan’s data analysis from the Canadian Arrow Mines Limited acquisition shows a number of very interesting mineralized zones that do not appear to have been fully explored
  • Second, MineMap Pty Ltd of Perth, Australia has been evaluating the resource base of the Kenbridge deposit from both open pit and underground perspectives.

Toronto, Ontario – Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN, FSE: A2DPCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that strategic exploration on the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, Kenora, Ontario has commenced.

As previously press released, Tartisan has a detailed three-pronged exploration strategy for the Kenbridge Deposit. First, analysis of the structural and deformational setting of the Kenbridge Project through surface mapping and geophysics as Tartisan’s data analysis from the Canadian Arrow Mines Limited acquisition shows a number of very interesting mineralized zones that do not appear to have been fully explored.

Second, MineMap Pty Ltd of Perth, Australia has been evaluating the resource base of the Kenbridge deposit from both open pit and underground perspectives. Key to the relevance of this effort is that the principal resource consultant for MineMap is a past Falconbridge employee and has a detailed prior knowledge of the Kenbridge Deposit. This resource calculation, with the insights into potential future mine planning that a resource distribution can provide, is a key factor in updating the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit.

Third, as previously announced, Tartisan has contracted Abitibi Geophysics Inc. Thunder Bay, Ontario office to provide the geophysical surveys that will define the geophysical character of the Kenbridge Deposit from the mineralized outcrops at surface to the high-grade drill-intersected mineralization at the base of the 632m shaft and below within the Kenbridge deformation zone. Abitibi will use this data to survey the rest of the northeast-trending deformation zone as well as on subsidiary related structural settings seen on the Kenbridge property.

Tartisan Nickel Corp CEO Mark Appleby said, “Since the original magnetic survey by Falconbridge Nickel in 1955, approximately 10 detailed geophysical surveys have been conducted over the Kenbridge Deposit and Property, but none were deep-seeking geophysical studies. Since our purchase of the Canadian Arrow assets in February 2018, we have undertaken a careful review of the asset. Our geophysical programs should put our whole geophysical database into a real discovery context so that when we go to drill the Kenbridge Property, we will have the best possible target definition.”

Tartisan will continue the strategic exploration program by evaluating surface exploration works, evaluate core stored on site and facilitate the surface geophysical survey. Ryder & Associates of Bradford, Ontario and Steel & Associates of Brampton, Ontario are continuing to assist in advancing the Kenbridge asset and they have been an integral part of the Company’s review and analysis since the Canadian Arrow Mines Limited purchase.

As a note, the Kenbridge Deposit occurs within a vertically dipping, lenticular gabbro and gabbro breccia with surface dimensions of 250m by 60m and sits within a significant northeast-trending deformation zone, as shown by deformation textures and shearing in the deposit host rocks. Other structural deformation zone orientations have been mapped on the Kenbridge Project including north, east, and northwest-trending. East-trending deformation zones appear to be host the ultramafic rock units implicit in nickel mineralization at Denmark Lake and Overflow Lake, located to the southeast of the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Deposit.

As previously described in the Company’s CSE Monthly Progress Reports, and the Company’s Financial Disclosure Documents, Tartisan was served with a statement of claim on June 12, 2018 by a supplier under contract to the Company. The Company has filed a statement of defence and counter claim in the amount of $1,050,000 against the supplier. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case and advance the counter claim.

$GLI.ca Glacier Lake Completes Exploration at Silver Vista and Hackett Properties $TUE.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:29 AM on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018

  • Glacier Lake Resources Inc. completed 2 reconnaissance surface exploration programs on its Silver Vista and Hackett properties
  • Silver Vista, the company’s principal project,  is a large, bulk-tonnage, clastic-sediment-hosted, disseminated copper-silver deposit
  • SV18-06 returned 153.4 meters averaging 28.9 grams per tonne silver equivalent

EXPLORATION ACTIVITY UPDATE- SILVER VISTA AND HACKETT PROPERTIES

Glacier Lake Resources Inc. has completed two reconnaissance surface exploration programs on its Silver Vista and Hackett properties. The Silver Vista property is the company’s principal project and is located near Smithers, B.C., with a focus on the discovery of a large, bulk-tonnage, clastic-sediment-hosted, disseminated copper-silver deposit. The Hackett property is located in the Sheslay area of northwestern British Columbia, strategically adjoins the eastern border of the Hat property, owned by Doubleview Capital Corp. and actively being explored by Hudbay Minerals Inc., the company’s joint venture partner. The work on both properties was completed by Exploration Facilitation Unlimited Inc.

Silver Vista property

The “MR Zone” on the Silver Vista property was drilled in the 1st quarter of 2018, with seven holes, totalling 1,273 metres completed. All drilling was directed at the “MR Zone”, which represented the first drilling on the property since the initial program of 1,252.5 meters in 1991/1992. Highlights of the recent drill program include Hole SV18-06 which returned multiple horizons of mineralization over the entire length of the hole, with the entire drill hole length of 153.4 meters averaging 28.9 grams per tonne silver equivalent, (see press release May 23, 2018). Hole SV18-06 was the northernmost hole and the mineralized zone is open and undrilled to the west, north and northwest. Assay results from these two work programs are pending.

The “MR Zone” discovery (1990) comprises a mineralized showing in a logging road-cut. The property has been extensively logged recently, and a network of newly constructed roads was the focus of this summer exploration program to discover additional mineralization in outcrop exposures or boulders.

Work performed included till sampling using a backpack drill and prospecting/mapping. A total of 7 till samples and 25 rock grab samples were collected from three target areas (West, SE, Circle Road), away from the “MR Zone’ area. Outcrop exposure is limited, due to the slight, rolling topography, but weak observations of copper mineralization (oxide stain) were observed at all three locations. The West and SE Target areas were surveyed using a GDD Beep Mat to detect near-surface EM/Mag conductors, with one anomaly noted. Further details on the Silver Vista property can be found in the National Instrument 43-101 report on the property located under the company’s SEDAR profile.

Hackett property

The Hackett property is located approximately 38 kilometres northwest of the village of Telegraph Creek, and approximately 95 kilometres west-southwest of Dease Lake. The western border of the Hackett property is less than a kilometre away from Doubleview’s Lisle zone, and the Hoey Minfile prospect is located near Big Creek on the boundary with the Hat property. Exploration activity focused on expanding on the mineral showings discovered in 2014, related to the Hoey Minfile occurrence, which lies on the boundary with Doubleview. On the Hackett property the 2014 discovery mineral showing returned 24 and 594 parts per billion gold, and 598 and 2,970 parts per million copper, respectively. Approximately 150 m upstream on Big Creek from the discovery showing, another strongly oxidized showing returned 128 ppb gold and 935 ppm copper.

ing, with a crew using a fly-camp located on the property, serviced by helicopter form Dease Lake. In total 26 rock samples were collected from the area of the 2014 sampling in a steep ravine on the western flank of the property. The majority of samples collected were gossanous fine-grained mafic volcanics, many of which contained quartz -carbonate veins/veinlets. In addition, 33 soil samples were collected using augers from within a target zone projects as the extension of the Hoey Zone.

The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by R. Tim Henneberry, PGeo, a member of the Glacier Lake advisory board and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 — Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The TSX Venture Exchange has accepted for filing the company’s issuance of 734,095 shares at an average price of $0.0725 in consideration of certain services provided to the company pursuant to an agreement dated May 25, 2017.
