The Conference keynote speaker is Mr. Josh Stanley, of Charlotte’s web fame. He will be speaking at 12:15 p.m. on Thursday, June 26.

Josh Stanley is a leading medical cannabis entrepreneur and advocate working to advance the medical cannabis industry in the United States and throughout the world. Josh has worked in the medical cannabis industry for over seven years and was one of the first individuals to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Denver, Colorado. He started Colorado’s first true political action committee and 501c4, the Medical Marijuana Industry Group, which he co-chaired.

In 2010, Josh assisted in the drafting of House Bill 1284, the first bill of its kind to further define and establish Colorado’s medicinal cannabis state regulatory structure through the Colorado Department of Revenue. The following year he assisting in drafting House Bill 1043 and was responsible for writing the research and development portion of the bill. Josh sat on the rules and regulations board of the Colorado Department of Revenue’s Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division as well as the rules and regulations board for research and development.

Josh worked with National Geographic Channel on a groundbreaking television series called American Weed that chronicled his family’s mission to keep medical marijuana legal in Colorado and tracked his observational research studies and patient successes with medical cannabis.

Josh is credited with creating the idea to breed a non psychoactive strain of the cannabis plant with low Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and high Cannabidiol (CBD) content which became known as “Charlotte’s Web.” This specialized sativa varietal of medical cannabis has shown promising results in alleviating symptoms of intractable pediatric epilepsy as well as a variety of other illnesses and disease states. Josh’s effort to help children restore their lives with high-CBD cannabis extracts made international headlines in 2013 and was prominently featured on Sanjay Gupta’s highly acclaimed CNN documentary special WEED, and just recently in March of 2014 was followed by the sequel, WEED 2.

Josh had the honor to perform a TEDx Talk in Boulder, Colorado that allows viewers to understand, in less than 19 minutes, the true healing powers of medicinal hemp, (high CBD strains).

A much sought after speaker, Josh has the ability to sift through the propaganda and fear encompassing the medical marijuana industry and delivers a compassionate appeal to end cannabis prohibition. Josh has recently been active in international arenas as he seeks to foster the advocacy for medicinal rights to cannabis on the global stage. .

AGORACOM Welcomes DNA Precious Metals (DNAP: OTCQB) Near Term PRODUCER, production target fall 2014 with 7+ Year Mine Life In Quebec

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:55 AM on Tuesday, June 24th, 2014

DNAP: OTCQB

Focused on near term production of the Montauban tailings mine in the Province of Quebec, Canada with an aggressive search for economic production assets.

Why DNA Precious Metals?

  • Company is 100% unhedged thus positioned to fully benefit from any future rise in precious metals prices
  • Main asset is the Montauban Tailings Mine Property located at Notre-Dame-de-Montauban in one of the world’s most favorable mining jurisdictions; the province of Quebec
  • Focused on the extraction of gold, silver and potentially, the industrial mineral mica (phogopite) from the approximate 2.5 million metric tons of historic mining residues (“residues”) situated in the Montauban area
  • Extraction of the valuable metals from the residues is a low cost process compared to the processing of ore.
  • Economic potential from the processing of the residues is approximately 174 million dollars

Competitive Edge

  • Sole mining company in Canada with its primary focus of bringing a tailings residue site into commercial production. The Company has “first mover advantage” in Quebec, and may expand into exploitation of other tailings sites throughout the province
  • Longer term potential is tailings exploitation nationally and in other jurisdictions.

The Montauban Project

Montauban, a series of advanced exploration claims, is located in the Portneuf County of Quebec, Canada. The project is situated approximately 120 km west of Quebec City and approximately 60 km north of Trois-Rivieres.

The project is accessible by vehicle through route 363 linking Saint-Marc des Carrieres, St- Casimir, Saint-Ubalde and Lac-aux-Sables, then following the route leading to Riviere-a-Pierre which cuts through the property.

Tailings

In July of 2010, 9215-8062 Quebec Inc. began a drilling campaign to evaluate the potential resources in the mining residues identified as “recent tailings” located on claims numbers; 5233236, 5233237, and 1037669. After receiving encouraging results from the initial drill campaign, 9215-8062 Quebec Inc. mandated Mr. Yves Gagnon, Engineer Geologist, to supervise a second drill campaign and to evaluate the Montauban Tailing resources by completing a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate.

Consequently, in January of 2011 Mr. Yves Gagnon Eng.Geo published the 43-101 Technical Report on the Resource Evaluation of the Montauban Tailings indicating the measured resources below. DNA Precious Metals Inc. is 100% owner of the sixty-five mining claims where the Montauban Tailings are located.

Historical tailings of approximately 2.5 million metric tons from past producers have been identified by multiple independent government reports for the Montauban Property. The tailings from those past producers in the Montauban Property area are;

DNA Crypto Corp.

Company has recently announced that it has formed a wholly owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Nevada called DNA Crypto Corp. The new subsidiary will seek to identify the best crypto currency mining opportunities in the US and Canada. Initially, DNA Crypto Corp. will focus on mining bitcoins which currently represents the world’s most popular crypto currency. Bitcoin has the biggest liquidity pool of all the crypto currencies with over 12.8 million bitcoins in circulation and with a market capitalization of $8.4 billion US. Well known investors like Marc Andreessen and innovative financial organizations like Second Market are firmly behind bitcoin and the potential for bitcoin to be transformative.

St-Georges Receives Positive Title Opinion On Zambian Projects

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:25 AM on Monday, June 9th, 2014

Montreal, Quebec / June 9, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to report it has received positive title opinion in relation to the mining production and mining exploration licenses it is acquiring in Zambia.

Significance of title verification and title opinion

The title verification and title opinion brings St-Georges closer to the completion of the current on-going due diligence process for acquisition of the Mwininlunga and Shongwa mining projects. Mwininlunga currently produces Copper Concentrate with plans to potentially expand to 20,000 tonnes per month. On Shongwa, the Company expects to initiate work on a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment Study later in early 2015.

Mark Billings, St-Georges Chairman and Director, stated: “The title opinion we received from KCK is an important milestone  along with the completion of the analysis of available geological and engineering data which should be on track with the previously announced schedule, it should provide enough comfort to recommend to our shareholders to endorse this acquisition. We received a fair amount of interest for these projects and are pleased with the response from the financial community in relation to the Company’s plan to move forward in Zambia.”

Mandate of KCK & Associates

In the course of the due diligence process, St-Georges hired KCK & Associates as independent legal advisors to establish its Zambian subsidiary and to assist the Company in the process of title and permit verification. KCK & Associates is a law firm established in Lusaka, Zambia that specializes in Corporate and Mining Law. The firm works for an extensive array of clients in the mining sector and with Governmental entities.

About the Zambian Projects

The Mwinilunga Copper-Cobalt-Gold Project. Covering 740 hectares (7.4 km2) , the project is located close to the Angola and DRC borders and is in the vicinity of CopperZone and Vale Inco’s Luamata Joint-Venture Project. Current small scale punctual production of 3,000 tonnes of Copper Concentrate (15%) per month on the mining license will be consolidated under St-Georges’ control at closing of the transaction, and will be managed under a service agreement to be finalized before the end of the due diligence period.

The Shongwa IOCG & Nickel Project. Covers an area of 72,600 hectares (726 Km2) and is located approximately 60 km northwest of the town of Kasempa. There is a current JORC Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) in place and the Company plans to verify and integrate the historical and JORC information into new NI 43-101 reports, and is currently evaluating the level of work required. The Company further expects to initiate work on a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment Study (PEA) later in 2014 or early 2015, conditional to the closing of the acquisition transaction.

Mr. Joel Scodnick, P.Geo. St-Georges’ Vice-President Exploration is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and verified the scientific and technical mining disclosure contained in this news release.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Frank Dumas
