  • Acquired 100% of the Don Pancho polymetallic zinc-lead-silver-manganese project located in the Province of Huaral, in the Department of Lima Peru
  • located in a prolific polymetallic mineral belt in central Peru with several operating mines in the area including the world class Iscaycruz and Yauliyacu polymetallic mines operated by Glencore-Xtrata Plc located 50 kilometers to the north-northwest

Toronto, Ontario – Tartisan Resources Corp. (CSE: TTC) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of the acquisition of the Don Pancho |polymetallic zinc-lead-silver-manganese project in Peru.

Tartisan Resources Corp. has now acquired 100% of the Don Pancho polymetallic zinc-lead-silver-manganese project located in the Province of Huaral, in the Department of Lima Peru, 105 kilometers north-northeast of Lima, comprising one concession of 600 hectares and located approximately between 3,660 meters and 4,487 meters above sea level. A Technical Report on the Don Pancho Polymetallic Project (Zn,Pb,Ag,Mn) NI 43-101 has been filed on SEDAR (2014).

The Don Pancho Project is located in a prolific polymetallic mineral belt in central Peru with several operating mines in the area including the world class Iscaycruz and Yauliyacu polymetallic mines operated by Glencore-Xtrata Plc located 50 kilometers to the north-northwest. Additionally, Trevali Mining Corporation’s Santander silver-lead- zinc mine is located 9 kilometers to the east and Buenaventura’s silver-lead-zinc Uchucchacua mine is located 63 kilometers to the north, (10 million ounces of silver produced in 2011). Infrastructure is considered excellent with ready access and a power line crossing the property en route to the Santander mine.

Don Pancho Project

Previous exploration on the property included an extensive surface mapping and sampling program, geophysics and a 2021 metre diamond drilling program of 6 holes conducted by a private Peruvian company.

Mapping and sampling shows an extensive NNW-SSE trending breccia zone measuring over 800 metres in length and 150 to 200 metres in width. There are numerous old workings and underground drifts located within this zone. The 2014 diamond drilling program shows large intersections of polymetallic mineralization, including 40 metres of 0.88% Zn, 0.40% Pb and 7.7 g/t Ag, 22.65 metres of 1.00% Zn, 0.26% Pb and 6.85 g/t Ag and 1.15 metres of 4.38% Zn, 3.25% Pb and 61.1 g/t Ag, (see Duran’s Press Release September 2, 2014). Surface sampling from the previous operator has revealed very interesting values, including 13.9 metres of 28.1 g/t Ag, 2.43% Pb, and 2.42% Zn, 2.8 metres of 28.1g/t Ag, 1.06% Pb, and 9.07% Zn and 13 metres of 8.38g/t Ag, 0.39% Pb, and 2.22% Zn. Sampling of underground workings in Yanapallaca area before the previous operators retuned 106 g/t Ag, 3.26% Pb and 17.56% Zn over 2.00 metres. (see 43-101 Technical Report on Don Pancho filed December 30th, 2014 on Sedar). Please note that the true width of the mineralization both on the surface and underground workings cannot yet be determined as the controls of the mineralization is yet to be fully understood.

A “Stage 1 Program” of geophysics, diamond drilling and potentially underground  drifting is envisioned to commence in 2017. Structural analysis on the geology suggests previous drilling did not properly test the potential of the property. Tartisan  has acquired the core  and data.

In summary under the terms found in the Defineative Agreement Tartisan has acquired a 100% undivided interest in the property by paying $50,000 and issuing 500,000 common shares. Upon completion of 5,000 metres of drilling and/or underground development a further 150,000 shares are payable, and if a NI 43-101 compliant resource is published, a further 150,000 shares are payable and if the Company loses control of the project either by sale or joint-venture, a further 200,000 shares are payable. Duran Ventures will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty, of which half (1%) can be purchased by Tartisan for US$500,000.

Tartisan Resources Corp. common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE:TTC). Currently, there are 64,564,345 shares outstanding (84,913,414 fully diluted)..|Tartisan additionally owns a 20% + equity stake in Eloro Resources  Ltd . as well as holding  a 2% NSR in the La Victoria Project in North-Central Peru.

Route Mobile founder to invest $10m in eSports, launch online league $GMBL.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:59 PM on Tuesday, March 28th, 2017
  • Ronnie Screwvala and Nazara Games, the founder of Route Mobile Rajdip Gupta is planning his eSports venture – COBX Gaming – that will invest $10 million to promote eSports in India
  • COBX will launch an online domestic league, and an international league besides building an Indian team for international eSports championships

MUMBAI: 2017 is turning out to be a watershed year for India’s eSports industry as three companies have announced plans to put big money to launch their respective leagues in the country.

After Ronnie Screwvala and Nazara Games, the founder of Route Mobile Rajdip Gupta is planning his eSports venture – COBX Gaming – that will invest $10 million to promote eSports in India. COBX will launch an online domestic league, and an international league besides building an Indian team for international eSports championships.

According to the Netherlands-based market intelligence company Newzoo, eSports is a $99.6 billion industry globally, as of 2016. Led by China, the Asia Pacific region controls 47% of the total market and 58% of the growth in the global games market comes from the Asia-Pacific region.

Gupta, who recently sold 10% stake in Route Mobile for $23 million, told ETthat COBX wants to create awareness and give an opportunity and a platform to Indian players. “This is the right time to invest in eSports, and it could not have been better. There are other people trying different things in this space, but I want to create awareness and make eSports a career option for serious players,” Gupta said.

His plan is to launch an online league in the second half of April, inviting participation from any team in India. “We have kept the total prize money of `10 lakh for the online championship, which may not sound big, but will surely attract gamers. The idea is to get the right talent and create a team that will take part in International majors,” he added.

COBX will also launch the first international eSports league in India by the end of this year. “We are focused on getting teams from 16 different countries in December for the international league, which will have a prize money of $300,000,” he added.

Marijuana industry gets boost from anticipated legalization target date $TBP.ca $MCOA.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:55 AM on Tuesday, March 28th, 2017

Canadian marijuana businesses got a confidence boost from a CBC News report that the government plans to legalize recreational marijuana by July 2018, although big questions remain about how the legal market will work in different provinces.

The newly revealed date for the debut of legal cannabis is “exactly along the lines of what we expected,” said Neil Maruoka, a stock analyst with Canaccord Genuity who covers publicly traded marijuana companies.

“Certainly there are some companies with more aggressive expansion plans, and this will give some comfort and clarity on what that path forward is going to be,” he said.

Stocks in Canadian marijuana companies swelled on Monday. Shares of Canopy Growth Corp., Canada’s largest publicly traded marijuana producer, gained more than 11 per cent. Shares of Aphria, another large player, gained about 8.4 per cent.

The tabling of the legislation, expected the week of April 10, should be “the tide that lifts all cannabis stocks,” said Maruoka.

Licensed producers bet on recreational sales

Currently, 39 marijuana producers are licensed by Health Canada to cultivate medical marijuana and sell it to patients via a mail-order system. Some of those companies are spending heavily to build up their growing capacity, betting that they’ll be well positioned to sell into the recreational market as soon as the green flag waves.

Alberta-based Aurora Cannabis, which is building an 800,000 square-foot farm near Edmonton International Airport, welcomed the reassurance that Ottawa is committed to recreational sales.

“This is something that we planned on and that’s why we started construction on this enormous facility,” Aurora executive vice-president Cam Battley told CBC Edmonton on Monday.

Canopy Growth CEO Bruce Linton also said the legalization date is in line with his company’s plans.

“It means everything that’s been predicted to be on a path is on a path,” said Linton.

“And when you’re dealing with a government, you can expect things not to stay that course, but they have.”

Who will be allowed to sell?

Even if they weren’t surprised by the date, players in the Canadian marijuana market are taking notice of the news that individual provinces will be deciding how marijuana is sold.

“The dispensary groups, depending on how this plays out, could be big winners,” said Mark Lustig, CEO of CannaRoyalty Corp., which invests in legal aspects of the marijuana industry.

Pharmacies like Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, and Jean Coutu could also benefit if provincial governments tap them as marijuana distributors, said Lustig.

In Ontario, the union that represents Liquor Control Board of Ontario workers has pushed for marijuana sales through the government liquor monopoly.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said Monday that the provincial government has not yet decided who will get to sell marijuana in Canada’s most populous province, although she previously said “it makes sense” to sell marijuana through the LCBO.

Colette Rivet of the Cannabis Canada Association, which represents 15 licensed producers, says her organization’s members favour leaving the mail-order system for medical marijuana in place, and potentially expanding it to recreational sales.

Still, Rivet acknowledges that brick-and-mortar retail sales are “likely to happen, of course.”

In its submission to the federal task force on marijuana legalization, Cannabis Canada said it was against selling alcohol and marijuana in the same location.

Dispensaries hope for inclusion

Owners of some marijuana dispensaries, which are illegal under federal law, are also hoping the provinces will cut them in on the legal marijuana market.

“We feel that we have a very good potential to be included in a regulated environment,” said Jeremy Jacob, a Vancouver dispensary owner and president of the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries.

In many Canadian cities, dispensaries are frequently raided and shut down by police. But Jacob points out that some B.C. dispensaries have good relationships with local governments in Vancouver and Victoria, where marijuana shops can be licensed by municipal authorities.

Jacob expressed hope that those existing government ties could help pave the way for dispensaries — and the unlicensed producers who grow their product — to take part in the legal marijuana economy in B.C.

“We’re waiting to see how inclusive they actually are,” said Jacob.

Marijuana could be legal by July 2018: report $TBP.ca $MCOA.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:32 AM on Monday, March 27th, 2017

Cured flowers of cannabis intended for the medical marijuana market are seen at a licensed producer facility in Moncton, N.B., on April 14, 2016. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ron Ward
  • federal Liberals have reportedly set a date to officially legalize marijuana
  • government will unveil legislation the week of April 10 and that the recreational use of marijuana is set to be legal by Canada Day of next year.
The federal Liberals have reportedly set a date to officially legalize marijuana.

The CBC reports the government will unveil legislation the week of April 10 and that the recreational use of marijuana is set to be legal by Canada Day of next year.

According to the Globe and Mail, the federal government is scrambling to draft legislation ahead of April 20, the day when pro-weed groups publicly “light up.”

The minimum age to buy pot will be 18, but provinces could set a higher limit. It’s also up to the provinces to control distribution and sales. Also, four marijuana plants will be allowed in each household.

Last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had signalled the legislation would be drawn up this spring to make good on his campaign promise to legalize pot.

All storefront marijuana dispensaries are currently illegal while the federal government drafts legislation to legalize and regulate recreational pot.

Dispensaries have been frequent robbery targets over the last few months. Several shops have been held up, often at gunpoint, and in some instances shots were fired.

Earlier this month, police arrested Marc and Jody Emery – the owners of the Cannabis Culture brand – and raided a number of Cannabis Culture dispensaries across Canada.

The Opportunity
Iceland Resources EHF is an Icelandic corporation with gold/silver/copper/cobalt/zinc projects in Iceland. Amongst its projects are the 100% owned Reykjanes developmental project covering 897.5 km2  of licenced area that is in close proximity to Reykjavik and Keflavik and the gold project of Thormodsdalur located approximately 10km east of the city limits of the capital Reykjavik.
.Terms of Acquisition
St-Georges will create a new subsidiary in order to transfer its ownership of Iceland Resources. 40% of this subsidiary will be owned by the former Iceland Resources shareholders and the remaining 60% will be owned by St-Georges. Additionally, St-Georges make the following commitments:
  • Issuing 6,000,000 common shares of St-Georges to Iceland Resources’ shareholders with a 12-month escrow release schedule;
  • Issuing a $350,000 debenture, bearing a 6% annual interest (cash or shares), maturing in November 2026 to be distributed to Iceland Resources’ shareholders and some creditors; and
  • $1,000,000 of expenditure on the Iceland assets over the next 24 months, including mineral exploration expenses and metallurgical process research & development.
St-Georges Priorities in IcelandSt-Georges’ priority in Iceland will be to further explore the Thormodsdalur (Thor) gold project, which is currently in the process of being permitted for drilling later this summer.  The company plans a 3,000 meter diamond drilling campaign that will be comprised of twin-drilling certain historical drill holes and will add in-fill holes in the identified gold trend which strikes some 700 meters that has seen drilling in 2006.  The objective will be to gather enough data to be able to establish a first resource estimate by year end.Management of St-Georges will be publishing the summary of a geological due diligence report focused on the Thor Project and the drill core chemical analysis results that was commissioned to Dr Natasha Henwood as soon as Mr. Joel Scodnick and Mr. Herb Duerr, both Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, complete their review.Thormodsdalur is located about 20km east of the city centre of Reykjavík and south-east of the lake Hafravatn. The project was discovered in 1908. The property produced mineral concentrate from 1911 to 1925 when over 300 meters of tunnels were dug below surface excavations. The ore recovered was transported to Germany and historic sources reported values ranging between 11g/t and 315g/t Au.  Note: All information pertaining to mineral resources, grades or operational results herewith presented are historical in nature and while relevant, the information was obtained from sources that cannot be independently verified.More recently, visible gold was seen in core from geothermal wells located on the project. This new discovery compelled the Icelandic government to create a mining entity for gold exploration in Iceland called Málmís.

The best intercepts from the diamond drilling are 33.5m @ 8.0 g/t Au (true thickness) and 5.2m @ 35.4 g/t Au (true thickness).

Durango Provides Update On Properties in Windfall Lake Area $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:01 AM on Monday, March 13th, 2017

  • Announces technical specifications on its Trove Property that is currently under negotiation as well as the additional property in the area that was recently acquired by Durango

Vancouver, BC / March 13, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (OTC-ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces technical specifications on its Trove Property that is currently under negotiation (the “Trove Property”) as well as the additional property in the area that was recently acquired by Durango (the “New Windfall Property”).

Previous exploration work conducted by Durango on the Trove Property included a VLF-EM survey and a detailed humus grid sampling of 1046 samples. NE-SW trending conductors were identified and a strong anomalous gold signal was defined from the humus survey in the SW portion of the property, about 160 m from an NE-SW regional fault crossing the Trove Property. This anomalous gold signal consists of three contiguous anomalous gold values, including 171 ppb Au, which is the highest assayed gold value that was returned from the humus sampling1.

The Trove Property lies in a highly favorable area of the Windfall Lake Gold camp and is almost entirely enclosed by Osisko Mining’s (TSX-OSK) ground. Per Durango’s map, several Osisko till anomalies are adjacent to Trove Property, three of which are located down-ice, indicating a possible source inside the limits of the Trove Property. A multi-element statistical approach is needed to enhance the interpretation of the humus soil sampling survey.

Durango’s recent acquisition of the New Windfall Property announced on March 6th, 2017 is located 2.5 km east of the Trove Property and adjoins the southern limit of Osisko’s ground. A limited amount of exploration work has been conducted over this ground which totals an area of over 2,000 hectares. The New Windfall Property is located within 1.5 km of the regional NE-SW faults extending from the Gladiator project of Bonterra Resources. A Power line is crossing the central portion of the claim block and several lakes and rivers are present, which may facilitate the access for future exploration works. Topography indicates that the area could be suitable for a till survey, as a first step to outline future targets. An additional 600 hectares is located to the west of the Trove Property and to the south.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “Durango has been positioned for discovery in the Windfall Lake area since 2010 with positive indicators on the Trove Property and our recently-acquired New Windfall Property in the area. Durango looks forward to an exciting year ahead and is working diligently to bring additional value to our shareholders.”

The technical contents of this release were approved by Mrs. Isabelle Robillard, M.Sc., P.Geo., an associate of Inlandsis Consultants s.e.n.c who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

Vancouver, BC / March 13, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (OTC-ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces technical specifications on its Trove Property that is currently under negotiation (the “Trove Property”) as well as the additional property in the area that was recently acquired by Durango (the “New Windfall Property”).

Previous exploration work conducted by Durango on the Trove Property included a VLF-EM survey and a detailed humus grid sampling of 1046 samples. NE-SW trending conductors were identified and a strong anomalous gold signal was defined from the humus survey in the SW portion of the property, about 160 m from an NE-SW regional fault crossing the Trove Property. This anomalous gold signal consists of three contiguous anomalous gold values, including 171 ppb Au, which is the highest assayed gold value that was returned from the humus sampling1.

The Trove Property lies in a highly favorable area of the Windfall Lake Gold camp and is almost entirely enclosed by Osisko Mining’s (TSX-OSK) ground. Per Durango’s map, several Osisko till anomalies are adjacent to Trove Property, three of which are located down-ice, indicating a possible source inside the limits of the Trove Property. A multi-element statistical approach is needed to enhance the interpretation of the humus soil sampling survey.

Durango’s recent acquisition of the New Windfall Property announced on March 6th, 2017 is located 2.5 km east of the Trove Property and adjoins the southern limit of Osisko’s ground. A limited amount of exploration work has been conducted over this ground which totals an area of over 2,000 hectares. The New Windfall Property is located within 1.5 km of the regional NE-SW faults extending from the Gladiator project of Bonterra Resources. A Power line is crossing the central portion of the claim block and several lakes and rivers are present, which may facilitate the access for future exploration works. Topography indicates that the area could be suitable for a till survey, as a first step to outline future targets. An additional 600 hectares is located to the west of the Trove Property and to the south.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “Durango has been positioned for discovery in the Windfall Lake area since 2010 with positive indicators on the Trove Property and our recently-acquired New Windfall Property in the area. Durango looks forward to an exciting year ahead and is working diligently to bring additional value to our shareholders.”

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(March 10, 2017) –Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N)(CSE:N.CN)(OTCQB:NXTTF)(FRANKFURT:M5BQ) is pleased to provide an update on its ecommerce activities including the integration of the EveryoneDoesIt platforms and eBay marketplace. The Company has made substantial progress in terms of optimizing the commercial potential of these platforms and continues to focus activities on increasing traffic, conversions and average sale prices, while capturing valuable customer and market data.

EveryoneDoesIt 

Namaste has successfully migrated the EveryoneDoesIt portals to its Shopify platform, and completely revamped the user interface to considerably improve the overall customer experience. This includes reducing page load times from over 3.0 seconds to 1.7 seconds. In addition, the Company’s e-commerce team has created a centralized management platform to access and update all product listings and website characteristics seamlessly, across multiple Shopify storefronts. This results in improvements in operational efficiency. Since completing the migration, the EveryoneDoesIt conversions have increased by 15.9% compared to the same period last year. In addition to improved conversions, the average purchase of a customer has improved by 11.0%. The EveryoneDoesIt portals consistently produce monthly site traffic of over 300,000 visits.

The EveryoneDoesIt platforms are now utilizing machine learning algorithms to deliver personalization across onsite searches, product recommendations, and category navigation. By analyzing user activities, Namaste is building a behavioral profile on a per user basis. This profile is used to match products that the algorithm believes the individual user is more likely to purchase. This is a collaborative filtering based algorithm, that essentially creates a “trend aware” dynamic algorithm. This generates search results and category views that change to reflect a user’s preferences, therefore displaying products of the highest interest. The utilization of this data is a significant competitive advantage and key differentiator for the Company. This technology will be rolled out to all sites as part of the Namaste portfolio.

The revised site can be accessed by utilizing the link below:

eBay Marketplace 

Namaste has received approval to list over 100 products for distribution though eBay Inc. (“eBay”), a global commerce leader that connects millions of buyers and sellers around the world. Going forward, the Company plans to list over 1,000 products for sale, including the latest vaporizers and accessories. Due to the large customer base of eBay and the fact Namaste is one of the only companies to be approved for the distribution of vaporizers through eBay, it is anticipated product sales and revenue generation will increase significantly as the Company continues to add products for distribution. March will be the first full month of having listings live for purchase on eBay.
