  • Company has signed a contract with Abitibi Geophysics Ltd of Thunder Bay
  • For drone magnetic survey and a 3D induced polarization orientation survey over the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt deposit

Toronto, Ontario – Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN, FSE: A2DPCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”)  is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a contract with Abitibi Geophysics Ltd (“Abitibi”) of Thunder Bay, Ontario for a drone magnetic survey and a 3D induced polarization orientation survey over the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt deposit near Kenora, Ontario. Contracted works will commence once lines have been cut and break-up has advanced sufficiently to allow surface access to the Kenbridge site.

Abitibi will provide an Aerovision™ drone magnetometer survey over approximately 70% of the total Kenbridge lands and is a follow up to the VTEM survey conducted by the previous owners in 2008. This survey delineated a strong magnetic feature with a 2-km strike length with a prominent deep-seated 200m long conductive anomaly located along the flank of the magnetic anomaly. The prospective target is located some 2.5km to the northeast of the Kenbridge deposit, situated along the same structural trend of the Kenbridge intrusion. The drone survey automatically corrects for objects of varying height (building on site; tall trees) allowing for consistent data over the 14.73 square km survey area. A total of 338.5 line-km will be flown with lines at 50m spacing.

A 5-line 10-km Induced Polarization Survey over the Kenbridge Deposit is planned with IPower 3D™ using a 3D electrode array measuring chargeability on multi-directional dipoles and yielding up to approximately a 600m depth of investigation, sufficient for proving mineralization continuity down to the bottom of the deposit as defined by previous operators. If successful, this survey will be applied to the 2-km magnetic anomaly as previously described to test for deep-seated mineralization. This survey is expected in the latter part of 2018.

Tartisan Nickel CEO Mr. Mark Appleby noted, “The drone magnetometer survey and the deep IP survey are modern exploration tools that will give us a very good idea of the best areas for follow up exploration in the Kenbridge camp.”

The drone magnetic survey will be integrated with a LIDAR survey at 1m contour intervals to better focus future exploration and definition efforts.

The Kenbridge Deposit hosts measured and indicated resources of 7.139 million tonnes of 0.62% nickel; 0.33% copper; and 0.016% cobalt; with inferred resources of 0.118 million tonnes of 1.38% nickel; 0.88% copper; and 0.003% cobalt. In total a contained nickel resource of 97.8 million pounds of nickel and 47 million pounds of copper has been defined by previous operators to data. The Kenbridge deposit is equipped with a 623m shaft and two levels and has never been mined. Mineralization is open at depth and along strike.

ABOUT TARTISAN NICKEL CORP.

Tartisan also owns a 100% interest in the Alexo-Kelex Nickel property, a past-producing nickel deposit near Timmins, Ontario with historical production of some 87,000 tonnes of nickel grading 3.06%. Tartisan Nickel is actively evaluating Alexo-Kelex to determine potential courses of action that would add value to the Corporation.

In Peru, Tartisan owns a 100% stake in the Don Pancho Zinc-Lead-Silver Project in Peru just 9 km from Trevali’s Santander mine and owns a 100% stake in the Ichuna Copper-Silver Project, contiguous to Buenaventura’s San Gabriel property. Tartisan also owns a significant equity stake (6 million shares and 3 million warrants at 40 cents) in Eloro Resources Ltd, which is exploring the low-sulphidation epithermal La Victoria Gold/Silver Project in Ancash, Peru. Tartisan Nickel Corp. common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE:TN, FSE: A2DPCM). Currently, there are 97,623,550 shares outstanding (109,547,594 fully diluted).

  • Commencing a creative cross-marketing collaboration with a global content leader Lionsgate
  • Company will create and market suites of digital coloring tasks around Lionsgate properties through Kuuhubb’s Recolor digital coloring app
  • Lionsgate will support these campaigns by driving traffic through its marketing channels to Recolor
  • Past collaborations generated over three million unique coloring tasks and over 300 million impressions in total

TORONTO, April 13, 2018 – Kuuhubb Inc. (“Kuuhubb” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:KUU), a technology company focused on acquiring, developing and distributing lifestyle and mobile applications, today announced that it will be commencing a creative cross-marketing collaboration with a global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE:LGF.A) (NYSE:LGF.B).

Under the agreement, Kuuhubb will create and market suites of digital coloring tasks around Lionsgate properties through Kuuhubb’s Recolor digital coloring app, a leader in bringing brands and media properties to the art app universe. In addition, Lionsgate will support these campaigns by driving traffic through its marketing channels to Recolor, whose users generate more than 200 million coloring works per quarter.

Recolor will feature a broad range of unique brand campaigns tying into the releases of Lionsgate movies and TV shows this year, such as the groundbreaking and critically acclaimed hit series Orange is the New Black and the eagerly anticipated feature films The Spy Who Dumped Me and A Simple Favor. There will also be campaign releases for Lionsgate’s existing library of content, including Mad Men and Dirty Dancing.

Lionsgate and Kuuhubb recently partnered on successful brand campaigns on the Recolor app for three Lionsgate IP: My Little Pony: The Movie, the critically acclaimed blockbuster film Wonder, and the recently launched series Step Up: High Water, each with in-app branded coloring images and video units showing trailers for the properties. These collaborations generated over three million unique coloring tasks and over 300 million impressions in total.

“Finding novel ways to engage consumers in the entertainment industry on mobile devices, particularly in the art app space, is an important challenge,” said Peter Levin, Lionsgate’s President of Interactive Ventures, Games, and Digital Strategy. “The entertainment app category has shown stunning growth, and we’re excited to partner again with Kuuhubb to creatively capitalize even further on its potential.”

Kuuhubb COO Pasi Piipponen noted that, “Digital coloring engages app users on a totally different level than traditional banner or video campaigns – we are reaching 10 minutes of average coloring time per branded coloring task on Recolor. Based on previous successes with Lionsgate, it´s easy to conclude that Recolor users are keen to engage with targeted brand campaigns that bring added value to the user experience.”

Lionsgate’s interactive games business has recently partnered on a deal to promote the Starz Original Series Ash vs Evil Dead with The Overwatch League™ team Los Angeles Valiant, run by professional esports organization Immortals, in which Lionsgate is an investor; collaborated on the blockbuster mobile game Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, which recently crossed 30 million installs on its first anniversary and was part of Amazon’s GameOn announcement at the Game Developers Conference; released “The Saw Chapter” DLC for the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight; and created a feature for The Divergent Series in the role-playing app What’s Your Story?™

#Gold set for second consecutive weekly gain on tension over #Syria $AMK.ca $EXS.ca $GGX.ca $GR.ca $GZD.ca $MQR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:18 AM on Friday, April 13th, 2018

  • Spot gold rose 0.4% to $1,339.71/oz as of 3.24am GMT, and was set for a weekly gain of 0.5%. US gold futures were up 0.1% at $1,342.70/oz.
  • Spot gold is expected to rise to $1,348/oz, as it has found a support at $1,334, said Reuters’ technical analyst Wang Tao.

13 April 2018 – 08:38 Swati Verma

Gold rose on Friday and was set to post a small gain for a second consecutive week, supported by tensions over Syria.

Spot gold rose 0.4% to $1,339.71/oz as of 3.24am GMT, and was set for a weekly gain of 0.5%. US gold futures were up 0.1% at $1,342.70/oz.

Spot gold is expected to rise to $1,348/oz, as it has found a support at $1,334, said Reuters’ technical analyst Wang Tao.

Prices were gaining on tension over Syria, which had stoked geopolitical concern, said Richard Xu, a fund manager at HuaAn Gold, China’s biggest gold exchange-traded fund.

President Donald Trump and his national security aides on Thursday discussed US options on Syria, where he has threatened missile strikes in response to a suspected poison gas attack, as a Russian envoy voiced the fear of wider conflict between Washington and Moscow. Trump, however, cast doubt over the timing of his threatened strike on Syria on Thursday, by tweeting that an attack on Syria “could be very soon or not so soon at all”.

Global stocks recovered and the dollar firmed after Trump’s comments, which weighed on the dollar-denominated bullion.

Gold prices dropped 1.3% on Thursday, the biggest one-day percentage fall since March 28. Prices have fallen by more than $25/oz since climbing to an 11-week high of $1,365.23/oz on Wednesday.

The easing concern over the trade war between China and the US also weighed on gold prices in the previous session.

“Going forward I see downside risk for gold prices in general, the ebbing trade war concerns as well as improvement in growth-related news should bring safe-haven demand lower into the year ahead,” said OCBC analyst Barnabas Gan.

Trump said on Thursday that the trade “negotiations” between Washington and Beijing were going well, conflicting with Chinese official statements on the dispute.

Meanwhile, holdings of SPDR Gold Trust, the world’s largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, rose 0.69% to 865.89 tonnes on Thursday.

In other precious metals, platinum was 0.2% higher at $926.74/oz.

Palladium was up 0.5% at $968.50/oz and on track for a more than 7% rise this week.

Spot silver rose 0.4% to $16.49/oz.

Global silver physical demand dropped to its lowest level in five years during 2017, led largely by a steep decline in coin and bar demand, even as industrial demand increased, according to Thomson Reuters GFMS.

Santander $SAN launches a #blockchain – based foreign exchange service that uses #Ripple’s technology $SX $SX.ca $SXOOF $IDK.ca $AAO.ca $HIVE.ca $CODE.ca $BLOC.ca

  • The service, called Santander One Pay FX, uses technology developed by blockchain firm Ripple.
  • Santander’s blockchain-powered foreign exchange platform is currently live in Spain, the U.K., Brazil and Poland.
  • Ripple has struck partnerships with multiple banks and other financial institutions, including Santander.

Santander has launched a foreign exchange service that uses blockchain technology to make same-day international money transfers.

The service, called Santander One Pay FX, uses tech developed by blockchain firm Ripple. Santander said it is the first cross-border payments service using blockchain to be made by a bank.

Blockchain, or distributed ledger technology, is a decentralized network that records a growing list of transactions. It was originally used as the technology to underpin bitcoin but banks have become increasingly interested in other use cases, like clearing and settling payments.

Santander’s blockchain-powered foreign exchange platform is currently live in four different countries — Spain, the U.K., Brazil and Poland. A wider roll-out is expected in coming months, the bank said.

Innoventures, a $200 million fintech, or financial technology, venture capital fund set up by Santander, was one of a number of investors to participate in Ripple’s first round of funding in 2015.

Ripple has struck partnerships with multiple banks and other financial institutions, including Santander. Banks are less keen to use the firm’s digital currency XRP, but earlier this year two money transfer firms, MoneyGram and Western Union, announced projects involving the cryptocurrency.

On Wednesday, Ripple invested $25 million into a fund started by Blockchain Capital, a venture capital firm dedicated to blockchain.

Traditional sports and #Esports collide at the #NBA2K draft $GMBL $KUU.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:47 AM on Thursday, April 12th, 2018

  • Most recent NBA draft, which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in June, was a packed house with players in dapper suits being called on stage as fans held up signs and chanted their names.

The most recent NBA draft, which took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in June, was a packed house with players in dapper suits being called on stage as fans held up signs and chanted their names.

Other than the suits, there was none of that at the NBA 2K League draft. It was closed to the public, meaning that attendees were either media or family. And because this is esports, the draft wasn’t broadcast on television, but rather on Twitch.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver was there to present the first draftee, Artreo “Dimez” Boyd — often called the LeBron James of the NBA 2K world — who joined Mavs Gaming. Silver then jumped offstage after the first pick and had NBA 2K League managing director Brendan Donohue take it from there.

The NBA 2K League draft had six rounds, as teams here were setting out to create complete five-player squads, with one for backup. And toward the end of the draft, claps started to wane, much like people called up to the stage at the end a high school graduation.

Around the corner was the media scrum, where players would jump from one camera to the next and answer questions by reporters like “What does it feel like to be a part of X team?” and “What kind of music do you listen to?” These players were being treated as celebrities mostly from news publications that were unsure of how else to treat them.

Almost everything about the NBA 2K League draft resembled the actual NBA draft, except a smaller size, and a few very esports-like nuances. Imad KhanThe players themselves didn’t tower over everyone else either. Players were of all shapes and sizes. Some tall, many short, some skinny, some wide, and two European. It shows the power of competitive gaming. For many of these players, they’ve watched and played basketball all their lives. At some point, they realized that a professional career in the NBA was out of reach. But through gaming, they had an opportunity to go pro, and represent an NBA team. In many ways, it felt like the great equalizer. That anybody with enough skill had a shot at making it into the 2K League. Even if during the inaugural draft, no women qualified. Granted, Silver, along with Oris Stuart, who is the head of diversity and inclusion at the NBA, have created a task force to tackle the lack of female competitors.

Past the Hulu theater, up a flight of escalators, were a few dressing rooms that had been converted into makeshift war rooms, areas where teams could pow-wow over which player to draft.

ADVERTISEMENT

Of the three was Jonah Edwards, 23, the head coach of Mavs Gaming. He’s from the competitive NBA 2K community, and dropped out of Ball State University in his senior year to join the Mavs. As he was watching the picks, he was surprised at some of the players teams were leaving out on the field. Of the 17 teams in the 2K League, about eight had taken in coaches from the community itself. That’s probably why many teams were possibly picking players based on their relative location rather than skill set.

As the trio inside the room were on the conference call, they were crossing names off spreadsheets, and calling the team back in Dallas. Mavs Gaming has its eyes set on the championship.

The question on everyone’s mind is: Will fans actually come to watch a competitive basketball video game? That fear was put to rest for Sumit Arora, the senior director of strategy at Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, the umbrella organization for the Maple Leafs, the Raptors and Toronto FC, when they held a fan event for Raptors Uprising Gaming Club.

Arora said that Raptors Uprising GC held an event for fans. He really wasn’t sure what to expect, but was stunned to see the turnout. The team has been running tournaments to create a practice squad. And for players in Toronto wanting to be a part of next year’s 2K League draft, it’s probably the best practice any aspiring pro gamer could get.

By about 4 p.m., journalists started to trickle out of MSG. There wasn’t an after-party or any other major celebrations. The teams had picked their players, packed up their equipment, and went off for dinner.

An in-person draft is a first for esports, but a staple for traditional sports. It’s a welcome change, that will help elevate gaming further into the mainstream. And the NBA wants the 2K League to be everlasting. If marketed correctly, players will grow in fame and eventually the draft will be open to the public.

And maybe one day, the 2K League draft will fill up Barclay’s too.

New Cisco $CSCO blueprint to tap $2 billion #Indian digital education market #edtech #betterU $BTRU.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:52 AM on Thursday, April 12th, 2018
  • Education is at the heart of new digital economy and the digital learning solutions’ market in India is currently at $2 billion
  • Second largest market for digital education after the US

HYDERABAD: Education is at the heart of new digital economy and the digital learning solutions’ market in India is currently at $2 billion — the second largest market for digital education after the US, global networking giant Cisco said here on Thursday.

Realising the need to skill students in disruptive technologies like Big Data analytics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, Cisco on Thursday announced a “Blueprint for Digital Education” here.

The blueprint will allow colleges and universities to enable students learn anywhere with “Cisco Connected Classroom” solutions which use the Cisco “Digital Network Architecture” (Cisco DNA) and collaboration solutions such as “WebEx” online meetings and Cisco “Spark” all-in-one communications solution.

Currently the Indian education industry at $97.8 billion and is set to grow to about $140 billion by 2020.

“Education is at the heart of new digital economy and the digital learning solutions’ market in India is currently at $2 billion and outside the US, India is the largest digital education industry,” Sudhir Nayar, Managing Director, Commercial Sales, Cisco India and SAARC, told reporters here.

He was speaking at the Cisco “Digital Education Summit” at the Indian School of Business (ISB) here.

“Cisco Connected Campus” provides extensive network analytics to help administrators make data-driven decisions while managing facilities, lighting, parking and transportation.

“We are committed to create environment that enables solutions and tools for digital learning and digital campus in the country,” Nayar said.

“Today, we are for the first time launching a complete digital blueprint for education institutions that can help transform the Indian education sector,” he noted.

The blueprint aims to help colleges and universities create a completely integrated digital environment that meets the high expectations of the industry.

With approximately 30% of India’s current population in the 0-15 age group, the education sector in India is poised to witness significant growth.

However, the education system faces challenges such as capacity, scale and quality.

“At Cisco, we create the infrastructure that can help the education system to transform,” Nayar said.

The blueprint is based on Cisco’s highly secure core network and unified voice, video and wireless communications, protected by state-of-the-art security solutions and lay the framework for connected campuses, empowered educators, informed administrators and students.

“In terms of affordability the new model would cost Rs 200 per student per month, which includes automated attendance, browsing facilities for the students, among others,” Nayar noted.

Currently, 500 institutes and colleges (60% urban and 30% in rural areas) across the country are using Cisco digital education solutions for their digital journey.

It also includes leading institutions such as Manipal University, Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Jamia Hamdard and Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies.

“With smart workspaces that automatically track student attendance and progress, schools and universities can operate efficiently in a rapidly changing environment,” Cisco said in a statement.

Digital learning classrooms can support new online learning experiences, worldwide collaboration and rich online media consumption with virtual classrooms.

Cisco “Connected Research” solutions are also helping researchers, faculty and students conduct high-performance computing (HPC) in a secure environment and quickly scale computing resources to fuel innovation.

Small Cap Companies that will Benefit from Gold Surge on Trade War $AMK.ca $EXS.ca $GGX.ca $GLI.ca $GZD.ca $GR.ca $MQR.ca $NSM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:40 AM on Thursday, April 12th, 2018

What Would a Trade War Do to the Value of Exploration Companies?

Questioning what will happen to precious metal prices if a trade war causes a number of countries, including the U.S., to charge heftier tariffs on imported goods?

A bigger question is what will happen to the companies searching for these strategic minerals?

Tariffs affect the trading of imported metals, which impact price. Other factors such as interest rates, the law of supply and demand, and the strength of the dollar against foreign currencies also determine pricing. Common sense thinking leads one to believe that if a trade war causes the quantity of precious metals imported to drop and prices for imported metals to rise that this increases the value of metal owned and should benefit the companies searching for these elements destined to increase in value. We at Agoracom believe the following companies have a great chance to accrue value as the trade war continues and the companies themselves advance their projects.
