Copper prices jumped to a four-year peak on Thursday as funds bet on strong demand in top consumer China and supply disruptions in top producer Chile leaving the market short of the metal used widely in power and construction.

Benchmark copper on the London Metal Exchange was up 0.3 per cent at $7,264 a tonne at around 1215 GMT from an earlier $7,312.5, its highest since January 2014. It is up more than 30 per cent so far this year.

“Funds are on a buying spree, but the timing and strength is surprising,” said Quantitative Commodity Research consultant Peter Fertig. “Fundamentals are good. China is a growing economy, it will need more copper. The risk of strikes in Latin America due to labor negotiations is looming.”

China accounts for about half of global copper demand estimated at around 23.5 million tonnes.

That is why a surge in its imports to 329,168 tonnes in November, up 19 per cent from the same period a year ago, triggered a buying frenzy this week.

Analysts estimate China’s copper demand growth could be as high as 3 per cent in 2018 from around 2 per cent this year.

They will be watching surveys of purchasing managers in China’s manufacturing sector and industrial production growth, which are typically used as lead indicators for copper demand.

“Heading into next year, a case can be made for a relatively higher trading range for copper compared to what we saw in 2017,” INTL FCStone analyst Edward Meir said in a note.

Meir expects the copper market to see a 130,000 tonne deficit next year after a shortfall of 95,000 tonnes this year.

“One variable that should help the market next year is the fact that there will be a series of key labor negotiations that could potentially impact a substantial amount of metal.”

Given copper’s 70 percent gains since hitting a 6-1/2 year low of $4,318 in January 2016, expectations are for unions to be more militant, particularly given the concessions they made when prices were tumbling.

Analysts at Citi say there are over 30 labor contracts, covering around five million tonnes of mine supply, due to expire next year, most of them in Chile and Peru.

“The largest identifiable potential issue concerns the Escondida contract due June, 2018, given the 2 month strike earlier this year,” they said.

“To reflect elevated supply risks over the next 12 months we assume a 6.0-per-cent disruption allowance for 2018 or 1.26 million tonnes versus 5.2-per-cent average since the financial crisis or 970,000 tonnes.”

Also helping copper is the lower U.S. currency, down 10 per cent since the start of this year against a basket of other major currencies, making dollar-priced commodities cheaper for holders of other currencies.

This relationship is used by funds which trade using buy and sell signals generate.

7 Social Media Trends That Will Dominate 2018 #LiveStreaming #Peeks $PEEK.ca $BCOV $AVID

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:24 AM on Thursday, December 28th, 2017
Jayson DeMers , Contributor

I demystify SEO and online marketing for business owners. Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.

  • Live streaming will continue its explosive rise in popularity
  • About 80 percent of consumers would rather watch a live video from a brand than read a blog, and 82 percent would prefer live video to written social media updates

7 Social Media Trends That Will Dominate 2018

How do you plan on socializing next year? How do you plan on reaching your target audience, who will be socializing with each other, next year? By default, we underestimate how our lives will change in the future.

We tend to think of next year as ending more or less the same as this year (with the exception of any personal plans you might have). In addition, we tend to underappreciate the progress of technology, at least on a smaller scale.

That’s because our favorite social media apps tend to roll out updates on a nearly constant basis, changing slightly but frequently; just as we don’t notice children getting taller day by day, we don’t always recognize how the social media landscape around us evolves. But it is evolving, constantly, and in 2018, there are going to be a handful of highly important trends dictating how that evolution unfolds.

These are seven of the most important trends I’m predicting will make their presence known in 2018:

1. Augmented reality will finally take off. About five years ago, Google came out with a pair of glasses—Google Glass—that promised to bring augmented reality (AR) to the mainstream and change how we live and interact with each other. It was a flop. But now, multiple companies—including Facebook, Google, and Snap—are competingLive streaming will continue its explosive rise in popularity. to enter or re-enter the AR ring. After a handful of highly successful AR apps, rising sales of VR headsets, and greater technological sophistication (including faster internet speeds and better visual rendering), 2018 could finally be the year that AR takes off. If it does, and stays in the mainstream, you can bet that social media will be one of the most popular applications for the technology, bringing people together over vast distances, and providing an entirely new UI for social interactions.

2.Live streaming will continue its explosive rise in popularity You could make the argument that live streaming dominated 2017; about 80 percent of consumers would rather watch a live video from a brand than read a blog, and 82 percent would prefer live video to written social media updates. Live streaming statistics exploded in 2017, thanks in part to all the social platforms and other companies supporting the format. But 2018 will be an even bigger year, now that both audiences and brands have settled into the format. This is no longer a cool new way to interact with audiences—it’s an expectation for your brand.

3. Privacy and open source will take precedence. The use of social media requires the forfeiture of certain types of privacy. Though Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms have attempted to crack down on users abusing the system, and are trying to keep customers informed about their privacy rights, some users are still hungry for an app that won’t sell their information to advertisers. I think in 2018, we’ll see an increase in the number and popularity of apps that keep user privacy as a top priority, or offer open-source APIs to make users feel more comfortable with using them.

4. Gamification will extend to social media apps. Users love to interact with each other, but they also love game-like experiences—and because many companies have generated significant revenue from microtransactions and immersive gaming experiences, it’s only a matter of time before we see an app that tries to blend social media and gaming more organically. Time will tell what kind of app could result from this hybridization, but it’s likely going to make a significant impact in 2018.

5. Ad growth will accelerate. Early in their development, social media platforms made building a user base their highest priority. Now that they’re more firmly established and have proven their long-term viability, their biggest concern has shifted to revenue. Most major social media brands have already started shifting their focus toward building more advertising, but 2018 will see an even bigger shift in that direction.

6. Brand fatigue will force changes to the current social media formula. In 2017, there were more than 50 million small businesses using social media pages to interact with their customers. Social media is incredibly popular for a reason, but that increased volume of businesses is also leading to an increased presence of brand-written content. This is already leading to some signs of brand fatigue, making consumers less likely to engage with sponsored or branded content than content from independent sources. That’s going to put more pressure on brands to make better, more independently verifiable sources.

7. Local and personal experiences will sharply increase in popularity. Partially as an extension of the brand fatigue, 2018 will be a year for more local and personal experiences. With Google putting a higher emphasis on search results for local companies, and online consumers wanting more local, interpersonal interactions, I expect to see an increase in the number of local business owners reaching out to individuals, and doing more to engage with their respective communities. This is going to be a benefit for both entrepreneurs and consumers, as well as the communities in which they reside.

Are these trends going to completely change how brands and consumers use social media? I doubt it, but we’re in for one interesting year. If you want to remain competitive in the world of social media marketing, and prevent your competitors from getting ahead of you, stay tuned to the latest changes, and don’t hesitate to update your brand strategy to fit new trends, expectations, and opportunities.

The more modern your campaign is, the better chances you’ll have at connecting with your audience, and differentiating yourself from the crowd. For more help with your social media marketing strategy in 2018, see The Definitive Guide to Social Media Marketing.

Monarques #Gold $MQR.ca Announces Positive Results for the Updated Beaufor Mine Technical $MUX.ca $SII.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:29 AM on Thursday, December 28th, 2017

  • Reports results of the updated mineral resource and reserve estimates for its wholly-owned Beaufor mine
  • Confirms profitability of the Beaufor mine

MONTREAL, Dec. 28, 2017 - MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSX.V:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report the results of the updated mineral resource and reserve estimates for its wholly-owned Beaufor mine. The mineral resource and reserve estimates were prepared by InnovExplo inc., in collaboration with Beaufor mine personnel and the Corporation in accordance with NI 43-101. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts in this press release are presented in Canadian dollars.

The Beaufor mine is located approximately 20 km northeast of Val-d’Or, in the province of Quebec. The mine has been in operation since 1930. The ore from the Beaufor mine is processed at the Camflo mill, which has a 1,600 tonne-per-day milling capacity. The mill is operated by Usine Camflo inc., also wholly-owned by Monarques.

“The outcome of the technical report is positive for Monarques, as it confirms the profitability of the Beaufor mine,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “Furthermore, the report does not consider the Camflo mill’s current custom milling activities, which could enhance the mine’s profitability. We are also continuing to assess our options for extending the mine life through targeted drilling programs on the most promising identified zones.”

Key economic parameters

Based on a gold price of $1,638/oz, reflecting a gold price of US $1,280/oz and an exchange rate of 1.28 CAD/1 USD, the study demonstrates that the Beaufor mine could generate an after-tax net present value of $4.41 million at a 5% discount rate with a total production of 30,018 ounces over the mine life. Operating costs would total $41.5 million and the total project cost would be $43.0 million. The average production cost would be $1,433/oz.

Table of economic parameters

Notes:

  • The independent and qualified person for the mineral reserve estimate, as defined by NI 43-101 is Laurent Roy, Eng. (OIQ No. 109779), of InnovExplo Inc. The effective date of the estimate is September 30, 2017.
  • The economic viability of the mineral reserve is proven.
  • Results are presented including dilution. Dilution varies from 10% to 15% for the long-hole stopes based on the position of the dyke, and is 0% for the room-and-pillar stopes as the stope width is less than 2.40m.
  • Results are presented including mining recovery rates. Mining recovery varies from 85% to 90% for long-hole stopes based on the position of the dyke and is 90% for room-and-pillar stopes.
  • The metallurgical gold recovery at the Camflo mill is 98%.
  • The mineral reserve was compiled using cut-off grades of 3.95 g/t Au (long-hole) to 4.66 g/t Au (room-and-pillar). Cut-off grades must be re-evaluated in light of prevailing market conditions (gold price, exchange rate and mining cost).
  • A constant specific gravity value of 2.75 t/m3 was used.
  • A minimum true thickness of 2.40 m was applied.
  • Ounce (troy) = metric tons x grade / 31.1035. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, and g/t).
  • The mineral reserve was estimated using a long-term gold price of CAD 1,638.40 per ounce (metal price of USD 1,280 per ounce and an exchange rate 1.28 CAD/1 USD).
  • Tonnage and ounces estimates were rounded to the nearest hundred. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations in Form 43-101F1.
  • The mineral reserve estimate is compliant with CIM standards and guidelines.
  • InnovExplo is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issue that could materially affect the mineral reserve estimate.

Resources

Estimated mineral resource table, exclusive of mineral reserve

Notes:

  • The independent and qualified person (“QP”) for the Mineral Resource Estimate as required by NI 43‑101 is Carl Pelletier, P.Geo. (OGQ 384), employee of InnovExplo Inc. The effective date of the estimate is September 30, 2017.
  • Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
  • Mineral reserves have been subtracted from mineral resources.
  • Results are presented in-situ and undiluted. The reported mineral resource is considered by the QP to have reasonable prospects for underground economic extraction.
  • The estimate includes 63 mineralized zones in the Beaufor mine.
  • Mineral Resources are estimated at variable cut-off grades ranging from 3.95 g/t Au (long-hole) to 4.66 g/t Au (room-and-pillar). Cut-off grades must be re-evaluated in light of prevailing market conditions (gold price, exchange rate and mining cost).
  • A specific gravity value of 2.75 t/m3 was used.
  • A minimum true vein width of 2.40 m was used.
  • Capping of high-grade values was done at 68.5 g/t Au for zones 8, B, M, M1 and Q, while all other zones were capped at 34.25 g/t Au and drill hole intersections were capped at 16.5 g/t over 2.40 m. Capping was done on raw assays.
  • The estimation method was polygonal on cross section.
  • Polygons for measured resources extend 8 m above and below development and up to 10 m laterally. Polygons for indicated resources do not extend more than 20 m from drill hole intercepts, along dip and along strike. Polygons for inferred resources do not extend more than 40 m from drill hole intercepts, along dip and along strike; they are generated where the drill spacing generally ranges from 20 m to 40 m and/or in areas of isolated drill holes where mineralization is interpreted to be the extension of known mineralized zones.
  • Ounce (troy) = metric tons x grade / 31.1035. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t)
  • Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of CAD 1,638.40 per ounce (metal price of USD 1,280 per ounce and an exchange rate of 1.28 CAD/1 USD).
  • Tonnage and ounce estimates were rounded to the nearest hundred. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations in Form 43-101F1.
  • CIM definitions and guidelines were followed in estimating mineral resources.
  • InnovExplo is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issue that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.

A technical report on the Beaufor mine’s mineral resource and reserve estimates, as presented above, will be filed today, Thursday, December 28, 2017, on SEDAR following the publication of this press release.

Preliminary Third Party Report Leads St-George $SX.ca $SXOOF to Accelerate Plans to File for Patents on Extraction for Lithium in Clays $ICM.ca $DST.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, December 27th, 2017

  • Preliminary report provided by the third party contractor hired to execute certain tests in relation to St-Georges’ research initiatives related to the extraction of lithium in clays
  • Extraction techniques evaluated can achieve recoveries between 80% to 99.9% with a purity of 99.9%. St-Georges is focused on total capital and operating costs with a green foot print
  • First stage of the mandate given to Dundee Sustainable Technologies (CSE:DST) was to characterize the material from the Bonnie Claire Lithium Property – provided by Iconic Minerals Ltd (TSX-V: ICM)

Montreal, Quebec / December 27, 2017 – St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX)(OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to release the findings of the preliminary report provided by the third party contractor hired to execute certain tests in relation to St-Georges’ research initiatives related to the extraction of lithium in clays.

The first stage of the mandate given to Dundee Sustainable Technologies (CSE:DST) was to characterize the material from the Bonnie Claire Lithium Property – provided by Iconic Minerals Ltd (TSX-V: ICM) – and to test it using currently knowns extraction techniques, commercially deployed or known in the public domain from academic research. St-Georges will work strategically with all the potential suppliers to optimize for total cost of ownership and develop a green foot print. This will include solvent extraction, membranes and electrolysis to make a lithium product that meets or exceeds industry standards.

The extraction techniques evaluated can achieve recoveries between 80% to 99.9% with a purity of 99.9%. St-Georges is focused on total capital and operating costs with a green foot print. The ecological focus is achieved, in part, by converting by products into saleable forms. St-Georges management is encouraged by the recent developments and is now looking to expand the scope of its analysis in regards to what might be patentable in its extraction methods.

The economic nature of St-Georges proposed technology in relation to the Bonnie Claire project cannot be established prior to the definition of a NI 43-101 Resources Estimate and a Preliminary Economical Assessment of the Bonnie Claire Project. However, the characterization of the material provided by Iconic to St-Georges allows for a certain amount of limited hypothesis. The high percentage of silica and alumina characterized in the material processed from Bonnie Claire makes an already interesting concentration of lithium stand out in the remaining segregated material. The report also hint at are other elements that might be worth recovering like potassium and other agricultural focused by products. The next phase of process optimization will be initiated in January. St George is encouraged by the initial characterization results.

Enrico Di Cesare, St-Georges’ director and vice-president research & development commented: “We are looking forward to working closely with the Iconic exploration team and characterizing and testing the results in parallel of their exploration effort on Bonnie Claire. Our technical team is looking forward to optimizing the process for recovery of lithium and salable by-products with a focus on being ecologically green”.

“(…) Our R&D initiative related to lithium bearing clay is progressing well. Shareholders and stakeholders need to keep in mind however that we still have more challenges in the near future. The next 2-3 months will be critical for the development of the lithium-in-clay (LiC) extraction process. It’s important to note when studying the history of science that a significant amount of disruptive technologies never made it outside of a controlled laboratory environment. The demonstration of commercial scalability is still the make or break milestone that we need to secure and we do not have any guarantee of success at this point in time. If that milestone is achieved, we will then have the privilege of embarking into the exciting endeavor of bringing a mine to production. (…) over the months and years period that this task might entails” – said St-Georges’ CEO Frank Dumas.

PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Announces that HPQ Silicon $HPQ.ca Signs Development Agreement with Solar Silicon Specialist Apollon Solar $FSLR $SPWR $CSIQ $NEP

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:21 AM on Thursday, December 21st, 2017

Pyr header 1

  • Announced today that HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. signed a development agreement with Apollon Solar, a solar silicon specialist
  • PyroGenesis has been engaged by HPQ to demonstrate, on a laboratory scale, that the PUREVAP™
  • Process can produce high purity silicon metal from quartz in a one step process

MONTREAL, Dec. 21, 2017 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V:PYR) (OTCQB:PYRNF), a high-tech corporation (the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announces today that HPQ Silicon Resources Inc., (“HPQ” or the “Client”) signed a development agreement with Apollon Solar, a solar silicon specialist.

As previously disclosed, PyroGenesis has been engaged by HPQ to demonstrate, on a laboratory scale, that the PUREVAP™ process can produce high purity silicon metal from quartz in a one step process. Pursuant to a Can$8.3 MM contract signed with HPQ in August 2016, PyroGenesis is designing, fabricating, assembling, commissioning and testing a PUREVAP™ pilot system to produce silicon metal directly from quartz.

Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, provides an overview of today’s announcement in the following Q&A format.

Q: HPQ Silicon announced Monday1 their agreement with Apollon Solar (“Apollon”), a solar silicon specialist. What does this mean for PyroGenesis specifically and the project in general?

A: This move, to bring Apollon into the HPQ-PyroGenesis fold, is in one word: ingenious. Not only does it demonstrate the validity and merit of our project, but the development agreement, in our opinion, not only increases the probability of success, but decreases the time frame in which success may be obtained.

Q: How is that?

A: To answer your question one must first understand who Apollon is and what they have achieved to date.

First, Apollon is a private French company which, as one of the world’s leaders in renewable energies, has developed processes to make high purity silicon metal for photovoltaic conversion for use in high performance solar cells…

Q:  So, they are competitors to PyroGenesis?

A: Absolutely not!  They complement us and that is the genius of this partnership.

Apollon is an expert in the manufacture of silicon wafers for use in solar panels. Apollon’s unique knowledge and experience with silicon, silicon wafers, and solar panels has enabled it to understand what works and what doesn’t, and they have been extremely successful at this.  In fact, Apollon was the first to manufacture entirely monocrystalline Czochralski (“Cz”) ingots made with 100% solar grade silicon metal refined metallurgically (“SoG Si UMG”).  Which in layman’s terms translates simply to the fact that they were one of the first to manufacture silicon wafers using an upgraded metallurgical grade (“UMG”) silicon metal as feedstock.  In addition to this achievement, Apollon has also managed to obtain conversion efficiencies of over 20% in solar panels using these same wafers.  In fact, Apollon holds a world record conversion efficiency of 21.1% with wafers made from UMG silicon metal used as feedstock.

So, in short, Apollon has managed to use UMG silicon metal as feedstock, manufacture silicon wafers, introduce them into solar panels, and get world record conversion rates.

Q:  And….?

A: And we can supply Apollon with the required feedstock, and therein lies the beauty of this arrangement.  Apollon has proven that UMG silicon metal can be used as feedstock to make silicon wafers for solar panels. Our results to date show that PUREVAP™, at a bench test scale, could convert quartz into the UMG silicon metal which can be used as feedstock to manufacture Apollon’s wafers for solar panels.

Q:  What else can you say about Apollon and the team?

A:  It is important to realize, that in all this, Apollon is actually the first independent party to validate the innovation potential of the PUREVAP™ process.  When reviewing the PUREVAP™ process, Apollon concluded that:

  • PUREVAP™ is a new metallurgical process (patent pending held by HPQ) for the production of solar grade silicon metal, and that it is a unique process, based on the innovative plasma technology that is at the heart of PyroGenesis’ expertise, and
  • The successful commercial application of the PUREVAP™ process will lead to the production of solar quality silicon at significantly lower costs compared to those of competing process technologies (examples include Siemens chemical process, Elkem Solar, Silicor Materials, etc.)

Without a doubt, future collaboration between HPQ, Apollon and PyroGenesis should increase the probability of success of the project. In this sense, Apollon brings two important elements to the team:

  • Firstly, the ability to achieve a higher level of vertical integration (from the extraction of raw quartz (SiO2) by HPQ all the way to the production of solar cells), and
  • Secondly, many years of innovative research and development work in the field of solar silicon and solar panels which complements the work already underway.

Q: From a practical perspective, how do you expect these benefits will be integrated into the project?

A: In the short term, we expect Apollon to provide immediate input into, and to help accelerate, the development phase of GEN-2 as well as to de-risk the design and testing of the pilot phase of the project (GEN-3).  In the longer term, Apollon’s knowledge and expertise in solar panels will not only lend itself well to the integration of silicon produced by the PUREVAP™ technology into solar panels, but could eventually lead to HPQ becoming a vertically integrated producer of such solar panels.

Q: Conclusion?

A: Once again, we are impressed with the strategies and forward thinking of the HPQ team. They have done their research and positioned themselves to be a significant force within their space. We are happy to be engaged in this project.
