AGORACOM Welcomes AIM Exploration (AEXE: OTCQB) Exploring Anthracite Coal, The Highest Quality Metallurgical Coal Available $AEXE.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:09 AM on Wednesday, December 21st, 2016

  • Coal is the world’s largest source of energy for the production of electricity.
  • 1 billion tons of coal used in global industrial steel production each year.
  • There are zero alternatives to coal in the industrial steel-making process.

Anthracite Coal

What Is It and Why This Is So Important?

Anthracite is officially classified as coal however it is not just another fuel, anthracite should not be confused with just ordinary bituminous coal. Anthracite is the highest quality metallurgical coal available, clean burning, hard coal with the highest carbon content of any coal, very energy efficient and even burns smoke free. This premium coal represents only 1% of world coal reserves.

The Cleanest Burning Solid Fossil Fuel

Anthracite is an almost pure form of carbon. It has a very high heat value, and very low levels of sulphur and other impurities. This makes it not only the most sought after home heating fuel but also a much sought after, high quality component for a number of industries. The anthracite coal extracted from the AIM coal concessions in Peru have been tested by the world-wide highly regarded SGS labs and the findings indicate a very high fixed carbon, very low ash and sulpher content with a high calorific value. AIM would be pleased to provide the analysis upon request.

Why Does the World Need Anthracite Coal?

As a result of its attributes, anthracite coal trades at prices substantially higher than thermal coal and has a lower environmental impact. High quality anthracite is increasingly sought for by the steel industry, always under pressure to reduce costs and improve margins. Metallurgical coal together with iron ore is the principal raw materials used to make steel. As such, it supports an improved quality of life for all of us through its use in the construction of homes and hospitals, and in the production of everything from mass transportation vehicles to wind turbines. Due to its high carbon content and low volatiles, anthracite is more reactive and efficient with respect to energy released than the lower–ranked coals and consequently has a lower environmental impact due to the lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The industry most commonly associated with anthracite is the steel industry.

Within the steelmaking industry, anthracite is used in three processes

  1. Pulverized coal injection
  2. Basic Oxygen Steel
  3. Electric Arc Furnaces

 

Present Activities

 

  • Anthracite Samples from AIM's PropertyAssets encompass 1,000 hectares of mining concession property consisting of three sites of 600, 200 and 200 hectares respectively.
  • Percana SA initially acquired these properties based on indications of the presence of high grade anthracite coal. Illegal artisan miners are currently operating multiple one-entry mines on the property, which further indicates the presence and mine-ability of these deposits.
  • To verify the geology and quality of the coal, Percana SA commissioned local geologists to compile a technical report on the 1,000 hectares. Although the report yielded optimistic estimates of resources, reserves and economics, it does not meet public reporting standards.

LOCATION

 

  • located in Huaranchal, which is one of ten districts in the province of Otuzco.
  • Two-hour drive from Trujillo (the second largest city in Peru), and an equal distance to the city of Otuzco.
  • Also strategically located 200km from Salaverry, which features a port that can service ships with capacities of up to 35,000 tons. The Port of Salaverry provides direct access to the Pacific Ocean.

 

INFRASTRUCTURE

Water A river adjacent to the property provides access to water for mining operations. However, most of the coal on the property may be extracted with minimal or no coal washing. Power Power lines cut through the property, although Aim is yet to ascertain the capacity of these lines. The company expects to use diesel powered equipment for most of its mining activities. Roads The first half of the road from the property to Otuzco is along steep mountainsides and can support 25-ton trucks. The next half of the road to Otuzco is better maintained and can also support 25-ton trucks. The road from Otuzco to the Port of Salaverry is well constructed, paved, and has bridges that can support up to 50-ton loads. This will facilitate smooth hauling of coal to the port.   Besides accessibility to water, transportation and electricity, there are also small villages on the property with ample accommodations and restaurants to service exploration crews and other travelers.

Market Potential

  • Highly desirable resource with a variety of uses. I
  • Primarily used in the manufacturing of steel, the production of cement, and the generation of electricity.
  • 70% of the steel produced globally relies on coal (World Coal Association, 2013); 200kg of coal is required to produce one ton of cement (Van Oss, 2012); and 41% of global electricity production relies on coal (Clemente, 2012).
  • Highest ranking coal because it is older and harder, contains more carbon, has lower moisture content, and burns hotter than any other type of coal. Comprising only 1% of global reserves, anthracite is also the cleanest burning fossil fuel on the planet (Cornerstone, 2013).

Once the joint venture with Prina Energy Aim intends to sell its output to international customers through the joint venture corporation concentrating the marketing efforts in India.

  • Unavailability of Anthracite Coal in India creates a huge potential for coal as a fuel for Indian Steel industry, which is growing on progressive and steady pace.
  • Huge scope for growth is offered by India’s comparatively low per capita steel consumption and the expected rise in consumption due to increased infrastructure construction and the thriving automobile and railways sectors.

Competitive Advantage

Aim has a variety of advantages. The company has a team of technical experts on ground in Peru, and has also recruited advisors and directors who bring complementary skills to the venture. In terms of infrastructure, power lines run through Aim’s property, while a river runs adjacent to the site. The road network from the site to Otuzco can support 25-ton trucks. From Otuzco to Salaverry, the road is paved and well maintained, and can support up to 50-ton trucks. There are also accommodation facilities close to the property that can cater to Aim employees and contractors. Other advantages include competitive labour wages in Peru, and competitive storage and stevedoring costs at the port together with the ability to extract deposits with minimal or no coal washing.

Soil Survey Results Prompts Claim Block Expansion at Black Rock Desert, Nevada $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:19 AM on Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Bff hub 2 copy

  • Program continued to show strongly anomalous results with 88 samples collected; 73 of them (83%) containing more than 100 ppm Li
  • Together the combined grids contain 258 samples of which 239 samples (93%) had values of greater than 100 ppm Li. Maximum values ranged up to 520 ppm Li

December 15, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia- Nevada Energy Metals Inc. “the Company”, TSX-V: BFF (OTCQB: SSMLF) (Frankfurt: A2AFBV) and LiCo Energy Metals Inc. TSX-V: LIC (OTCQB: WCTXF) are pleased to announce that following positive results from an expanded soil sampling program, 71 new placer claims have been added to the Company’s Black Rock Desert Project, Nevada.

Results from the program continued to show strongly anomalous results with 88 samples collected; 73 of them (83%) containing more than 100 ppm Li. Together the combined grids contain 258 samples of which 239 samples (93%) had values of greater than 100 ppm Li. Maximum values ranged up to 520 ppm Li.

These results show that dissolved lithium has been transported into this portion of the Black Rock Desert and is available for potential concentration by evaporative brines. The exploration model for the Black Rock Project is a Clayton Valley evaporative brine deposit as described in USGS Open File Report 2013-1006.

Geochemical sample points were arranged to expand on the original 170-sample grid. Samples were collected on 200 meter intervals along lines spaced 350 meters apart. Samples were collected by a contract crew and transported to the ALS sample preparation lab in Elko, Nevada. Samples were screened to -80 mesh at the ALS prep lab in Reno, Nevada and analyzed by Aqua Regia leach mass spectrometry at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. Canada. QA/QC standards were inserted into the sample stream with one in twenty samples being a standard. All 6 standards in this batch were within 3% of their accepted value of 750 ppm.

About the Blackrock Desert Lithium Project:

The Black Rock Desert Lithium Project now consists of 199 placer claims, (3,980 acres/ 1,610 hectares) located in southwest Black Rock Desert, Washoe County, Nevada. The nearest population center is the town of Gerlach, which lies 177 kilometers north of Reno.

The western arm of the Black Rock Desert covers an area of about 2,000 square kilometers and contains 5 of the 30 currently listed Known Geothermal Resource Areas in Nevada. The property covers an area of playa underlain by a moderately deep basin interpreted from gravity and seismic surveys, indicating a maximum thickness of valley-fill deposits of about 1,200 m/3,600 ft. A high salt content prevents any significant vegetation from growing on the playa surface.

Locally, the basin is being fed in part by boiling springs and siliceous sinter containing strongly anomalous lithium values (up to 3.5 ppm) that flank the property on the west side (U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Open-File Report 81-918). While these lithium values are well below those of producing lithium brines, they do represent a significant source of metal available for evaporative concentration within the playa basin.

The company plans to carry out additional exploration programs this fall to determine the potential for an economic lithium brine deposit. Future exploration will consist of shallow auger sampling followed by a high resolution geophysical program to define potential drill targets.

Nevada Energy Metals has entered into an agreement where LiCo Energy Metals is able to acquire a 70% interest subject to a 3% NSR royalty in the Black Rock Desert Property. Nevada Energy Metals holds a 100% interest in the property, free of royalty payments.

Qualified Person: The technical content of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Alan Morris CPG, Elko, Nevada.

Casino Gamblers’ Spending Prognosis Expected to Bump by 3.5 Percent Through 2020 $GMBL

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:11 AM on Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Casino consumer spending is ready for takeoff. According to a study titled “Gambling: United States” conducted by Freedonia Focus Reports, an Ohio-based market analytics firm, gambling will grow in the United States at an annual rate of 3.5 percent through 2020.

casino consumer spending Steve Wynn

  • “States will attempt to overcome stagnating gaming receipts by proposing new forms of, or locations for, gaming such as retail gaming, satellite casinos, and slots at airports,” Spectrum predicts. “More casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City will stage eSports events and contests, while Atlantic City will attempt to reposition itself as an eSports hub.”

Due to increased consumer spending, domestic casinos should see their revenues and bottom lines bounce upwards 2.9 percent during the same period, if Freedonia’s projections come true. It’s promising news for gambling companies and industry operatives who might be concerned that the US has become oversaturated with casinos.

Freedonia points to an increasingly permissible gaming landscape in numerous states, as well as casino patrons having more disposable income due to a resurging economy.

“Casino hotels are expected to see above-average growth, as many of these establishments offer gambling as part of a diversified entertainment strategy,” the report states. “Efforts to offer the Las Vegas casino experience closer to home will also boost revenues.”

Bearer of Good News

There are only a dozen states remaining that don’t have either commercial or tribal gaming. That’s why some are understandably worried that there are simply too many slot machines and table games in the US.

But directly on the heels of a national recession, the casino players that know best are making substantial investments. Steve Wynn is building a $2.1 billion resort in Boston. MGM Resorts recently opened the $1.4 billion National Harbor outside of Washington, DC, and is working on a $950 million facility in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Two of the most well-known and respected gaming companies aren’t scared of competition, and along with Freedonia, another market research firm supports the notion that there’s more money up for grabs for casinos.

Spectrum Gaming Group, a consultancy company in New Jersey that analyzes gambling markets, says in its 13th annual list of gaming trends that casinos will adequately adapt to a changing environment.

Vegas Confidence

Casino revenue has stabilized on the Las Vegas Strip, after falling from $6.8 billion in 2006 to $5.7 billion in 2010. Total gross gaming receipts came in at $6.3 billion in both 2014 and 2015, but will eclipse $6.4 billion this year.

Many believe eSports is a key area that Vegas needs to tap into. The emerging world of competitive video gaming was a major talking point at the Global Gaming Expo this fall. ESports is an area highly popular arena with the millennial, a demographic that hasn’t seemed to keen on playing games of pure chance common on casino floors.

For now, the older generations are providing a rebound to overall revenues in Vegas. Paired with the prospect of bringing new customers to casinos with eSports, gaming companies remain optimistic in Nevada and throughout the country.

AGORACOM Launches Small Cap Marijuana and Cannabis Stocks Gateway For Investor Research $N.ca $TBP.ca $MCOA

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:04 AM on Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Good morning to you all.  As the Small Cap Marijuana and Cannbais industry emerges from the shadows of “PotCom” and races into Weed 2.0 at full speed, AGORACOM will once again establish itself as the starting point for investor research and moderated discussion.

We’ve already started the process by announcing the engagement of 3 leading small cap marijuana, cannabis and vaporizing clients. I strongly encourage investors to visit each one of these companies and discover why all of them are accomplishing great things in their respective fields.:

We’re now building on that foundation by launching the AGORACOM Small Cap Marijuana and Cannabis Stocks Gateway.  This is the research starting point for small cap marijuana stocks investors to begin their research.  We feel it is important to help investors given the fact that we have already seen – and expect to see many more – “pretenders” enter the space by simply issuing a press release about entering the “medical marijuana / cannabis” industry for no other reason than to get a quick bump in their share price.

Our gateway will only include real small cap medical marijuana, cannabis and related companies that are truly engaged in the business and have taken active steps towards it.

In addition, the gateway goes beyond being a simple list by actively updating itself with relevant content from the industry.

Within a few weeks, this initiative will grow even further with a bigger presence and even greater content but – in the meantime – we believe this is a great starting point to discover real small cap marijuana, cannabis and related stocks.

Click below to start your research and be sure to come back often!

* Theoretical value of CaCo3 is calculated based on the assay value of CaO * 1.78476 and is used to estimate limestone (CaCO3) composition. This calculation assumes all CaO analysed is present as CaCO3.

 

Cautionary statement: Readers are cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of mineralization hosted on the property.

All samples were grab samples and were analyzed by Bureau Veritas, Vancouver, British Columbia. The analytical methods used correspond to Bureau Veritas code LF700 – Whole Rock Analysis by XRF.

An additional 26 outcrop samples were taken during a recent follow-up survey as announced on December 06, 2016 and are still pending assay at Bureau Veritas in Vancouver, BC. Assay results will be announced when they become available.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango stated, “We are extremely pleased with the assays received for the Mayner’s Fortune project. Favourable grades of up to >99.99% limestone from Limestone Unit #5 (by calculation), has created additional opportunities for potential end users. Despite snow and winter conditions, our geological crew successfully mapped limestone in the northern section of Unit #5 to an extent of 650m along strike by 140m apparent thickness with the unit remaining open at both ends. This compares well with historical mapping of 1,600m strike length and an apparent thickness of 180m in the south end of the limestone bed. These assay and mapping results have affirmed the vast potential of this property and Durango plans to continue to advance its limestone prospects through 2017.”
