Fabled Silver Gold (FCO TSXV) ( FBSGF: OTC ) controls 100% of the Santa Maria mine gold and silver property in Mexico. It is a high grade silver gold property that is situated right in the middle of the Mexican Epithermal silver gold belt that has reportedly produced more silver than any other equivalent area in the entire planet.
To say it’s a mining friendly jurisdiction is an understatement.
Multiple major operators are in the vicinity and it’s already got a silver equivalent 43-101 of 3.2m ounces, but is looking to add to that significantly with recent intercepts of 2269 g/t silver.
That is not a typo, in other words it is also 2.269 kilos AgEq or 72 troy ounce.
Just recently, Fabled encountered a new, previously unknown gold zone with the discovery of a new high grade gold system with values up 10.85 g/t Au within 30.7m grading 161.09 Ag Eq
This quote from Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President sums up the future potential aptly:
……“ we have found a new, never discovered high grade gold mineral domain system, with silver credits, over consistent widths in an area never explored, and which remains open to the west and at depth, plunging 45 degrees to the west and open in all directions for expansion.
Recent underground diamond drilling also intercepted 4 Zones of Silver Mineralization including 314.35 g/t Ag Eq over 0.80m.
Fabled is intent on proving Santa Maria is bigger and of potentially higher grade than the market understands and is well on its way with intercepts such as these.
Sit back with your favorite beverage as Peter Hawley explains the importance of the latest discovery within the context of the Fabled corporate presentation
The Santa Maria Project is poised to deliver as exploration continues to deliver discoveries through both above and underground drill programs.
In this episode of the Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers podcast, Dr. Reid Robison, Dr. Steve Thayer, and Derick Moody, PA-C discuss whether or not the mystical experience caused by many psychedelic medicines is a necessary factor for the healing they promote.
Microdose covers ketamine’s history as an off-label treatment for depression, the FDA approval of Spravatoᵀᴹ (esketamine) and what the future looks like for these drugs. CEO Yaron Conforti and CMO Dr. Reid Robison were both interviewed for the article.
“Cost and accessibility are universal challenges we face in our healthcare system, and these will also apply to psilocybin, MDMA, and nearly every drug that comes to market, at least during the initial years of patent exclusivity,” said Robison.
We are pleased to announce that our wholly owned subsidiary, Cedar Clinical Research has been selected as a research site for a study titled “A phase IIb, randomized, double blind, two arm study to investigate the effects of BNC210 tablet formulation compared to placebo in adults with post-traumatic stress disorder”.
“This clinical trial leverages CCR’s established track record studying novel treatments for PTSD and other difficult to treat mental health conditions.” said Dr. Reid Robison, Chief Medical Officer of Novamind.
Larger and stronger neural connections. According to new research out of Yale, it’s all about the increased density of dendritic spines. “Small protrusions found on nerve cells which aid in the transmission of information between neurons. Chronic stress and depression are known to reduce the number of these neuronal connections.” If psilocybin can create larger and stronger neural connections, the potential for treating depression and creating lasting change improves significantly.
While “there have been no research studies in humans showing that LSD can treat allergies of any kind” one patent application hopes that one day LSD will be able to treat food allergies. The article references a story about a claim (not research- or evidence-based) that LSD cured a lifelong cat allergy and goes into more detail about the patent process and what might stand in the way of this one getting approved. “It’s based on luck.” And it’s another entrant to the race to patent psychedelics.

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing a portfolio of high value-added silicon products sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers.
If that sounds a lot like what other small companies are saying lately, $HPQ differentiates itself as a leader of the pack thanks to the following:
To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:
” Demand for higher purity Silicon, materials that the PUREVAP QRR was designed to produce – but one that traditional silicon producers have a difficult time making, is about to enter a massive growth phase, driven by worldwide demand from the silicones, solar, and batteries industries. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the closing of old inefficient traditional Silicon plants and combining this with the chronic under investment in new conventional Silicon plants that occurred in the past decade, and the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly processes has created a perfect storm for the industry. HPQ should be a key beneficiary of this new reality.”
Today, thanks to HPQ’s great progress on its silicon mission, the Company announced “An Agreement to Develop a New Environmentally Friendly Process to Manufacture Fumed Silica” What is Fumed Silica? Suffice it to say, it is in heavy demand right now but current producers are going to run into strong environmental “ESG” headwinds as the industry is now moving towards clean and verified Fumed Silica that HPQ Silicon believes it will be able to deliver thanks to its powerful relationship with ESG driven PyroGenesis Canada. The market for Fumed Silica is set to hit $USD 2.2 Billion in 2022 and CEO Tourillon wasn’t shy about his confidence in the Company’s potential to win market share with this quote:
““The business opportunity that this represent should not be underestimated and could be as significant as the ones represented by the PUREVAP™ family of processes we are developing with PyroGenesis”

A weekly summary of Novamind news and media, including the announcement of a US$1,000,000 strategic investment in a Stealth Mode Drug Development Company.
“Novamind has over five years of operational expertise with psychedelic medicine, a track record of innovative treatment protocol development, and strong clinical research partnerships with blue-chip pharmaceutical companies,” said CEO Yaron Conforti. “I’m excited to share our vision for the next chapter of mental health treatment at the Conference.”
The Strategic Investment leverages Novamind’s expertise in patient recruitment and patient management for the Investee’s development of novel treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders.
Global News paints a compelling picture about the need for psychedelic-assisted therapy in Canada. “I just had so many different experiences, where all my questions that I had written out, everything was answered for me.” says Laurie Brooks, who was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 54. “I’m able now to deal with the emotions as they come, and to sit with them and hold them.”
It’s been a year of progress as many health breakthroughs happened while the public’s attention was rightfully focused on a Covid vaccine. Time covers some significant steps forward, including a malaria vaccine that could help save some 400,000 lives a year and the promising results of MDMA and psilocybin studies. It’s important to note the therapy aspect of the psychedelic studies. Both MDMA and psilocybin were given to participants in conjunction with therapy. Yes, these drugs are powerful and help provide the right mindset for improving mental health, but it’s the therapy that really creates lasting change. And it’s why that’s such a big part of what we do at Novamind.
Congratulations to Atai Life on listing to the Nasdaq. As an early strategic investor, we look forward to seeing Atai continue to deliver on its mission of “pioneering the development of highly effective mental health treatments.” Christian Angermayer

American Creek ( AMK:TSXV ) is located in one of the best mining jurisdictions in the world in B.C. Canada. They are already partnered to a world class discovery and just embarked on this years exploration program to determine how big their Goldstorm deposit really is, and to see if the deposit is not alone. There may yet be a whole storm of deposits out there on the property.
The Treaty Creek project is in the Golden Triangle on one of the largest hydrothermal systems in the world. The “Sulphurets Hydrothermal system” supports numerous world scale deposits, including the high-grade Brucejack mine (opened 2017 by Pretivm) and Seabridge’s KSM which boasts the largest undeveloped gold deposit by reserves in the world.
The southern half of the system contains 188m oz gold, 1.2 bn oz silver, 55bn lbs. copper in resources.
American Creeks Treaty Creek project is a Joint Venture. Tudor Gold owns 3/5th, is the operator and controls all costs associated with development and discovery. American Creek owns 20% and is fully carried until a “Production Notice” is issued and benefits from a “free ride” on any discovery, or discoveries made, to which there is one to date.
In March the 1st the very first resource calculation was released for Treaty Creek’s Goldstorm deposit. It is true world class, opening with 19.4m ounces of gold equivalent in Indicated and 7.9m Inferred. The potential to grow with further drilling is substantial.
A 2021 Phase 1, 30,00m, 4 drill program is underway to define where the mineralization stops in order to truly define the scope of the Goldstorm deposit. It is still open in all directions. Not too many companies have the advantage of this position, let alone at no cost.
There will be 2 more drills and 20,000 more metres added to the program later this summer targeting new discoveries.
Last Year Eric Sprott said the following about the Goldstorm Deposit on Treaty Creek:”
“It certainly looks like they have 20 million ounces and they could easily get to 30 or 40 or 50 million ounces (of gold)” Eric Sprott, July 24, 2020
I wonder how many ounces he will be counting at the end of this drill campaign. Or will it be discoveries?
Drop in and enjoy this illustrative narrative with Kelvin Burton of American Creek and discover the world class scale of Treaty Creek.
Green Market Report covers our fiscal Q3 earnings in their Psychedellux recap of the top business stories in the psychedelic medicine industry.
Novamind reported total revenue of $1.8 million, a 43% quarter-over-quarter, driven by increased patient volume at the Company’s four operating clinics.
“Together with the Wholeness Center, we’re joining forces to offer a new therapy that will positively impact the people who show up every day and continue to provide critical healthcare for the public during—and after—this difficult time,” said Dr. Robison.
From GQ’s series on mental health comes a piece about the psychological reasons how new experiences can change how we perceive time and make us more resilient. It’s an interesting read and the author even compares trees blooming in spring to psychedelics. “Even the most mundane new experiences left me feeling genuinely elated.” There’s a reason for it too. From Dr. Laurie Santos, “Novel stimuli tend to activate regions of our brain that are associated with rewards.” At our Cedar Psychiatry clinics, we practice a holistic approach to mental health. Taking into account psychological, biological, social, environmental, and cultural influences. Learn more here.
We’ve always believed in Atai’s vision to transform the treatment of mental health disorders. It’s why we became early strategic investment partners. Congratulations to Atai Life Sciences on launching their initial public offering.
