Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company”) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce further significant assay results from its drilling program within its 84.68%-owned Imbo Project in the eastern part of the Ngayu greenstone belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The deepest borehole drilled to date at its flagship Adumbi deposit, LADD009 intersected 32.15 metres grading 6.17 grammes per tonne (g/t) gold (including 1.46 metres grading 94.77 g/t Au), 15.36 metres grading 3.73 g/t gold (including 5.89 metres grading 6.56 g/t Au), 5.00 metres grading 3.17 g/t gold and 7.45 metres grading 1.48 g/t gold.
Mineralized sections for borehole LADD009 are summarised in the table below:

Borehole LADD009 had an inclination of minus 75 degrees and azimuth of 218 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated, and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are approximately 82% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut with maximum internal dilution equal to or less than 4 metres of intersected width. Borehole LADD009 intersected the mineralization at a depth of approximately 140 metres below the open pit shell (see Figures 2 and 3 below). Boreholes LADD012 and LADD013 are currently being drilled (LADD011 was abandoned before reaching target depth due to mechanical problems and LADD013 is being drilled in its place).
Commenting on these latest drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “Borehole LADD009 is the deepest hole drilled to date at Adumbi as well as the highest value in terms of the product of grade multiplied by true width for the multiple intersections (see Figure 2). These excellent results combined with previous results from the ongoing drilling program indicate that gold grades are increasing with depth. We continue to be excited by the results at Adumbi. The holes from our current drilling program have intersected significant widths and grades and will increase the current open pittable, inferred mineral resource of 2.19 million ounces (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t gold) at the Adumbi deposit. Studies are underway to quantify this increase.”
The gold mineralization at Adumbi is associated with a thick package (up to 130 metres) of interbedded banded ironstone and quartz carbonate and chlorite schist with higher grade sections being found in a strongly altered siliceous unit termed “Replaced Rock” (RP) where structural deformation and alteration has completely destroyed the primary host lithological fabric. Disseminated sulphide assemblages include pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite which can attain up to 20% of the total rock in places.
The objective of the current drilling program at Adumbi is to outline additional mineral resources to the current inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold on Loncor’s 84.68%-owned Imbo Project which contains the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au).

First Commercial Bank Lending Deal of its Kind For a U.S. Cannabis Company
Harborside Inc. (“Harborside” or the “Company”) (CSE: HBOR) (OTCQX: HBORF), a California-focused, vertically integrated cannabis enterprise, today announced it has entered into a loan financing arrangement with a commercial federally regulated bank (the “Bank“), in the amount of US$12 million (the “Loan“) pursuant to a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility“) due March 2024.
Harborside expects to use the majority of the Loan proceeds to support the purchase of the Company’s 47-acre production campus later this year, which includes 200,000 sq. ft. of licensed cultivation space, including 155,000 sq. ft. of flower canopy space and 45,000 sq. ft. of nursery space in Salinas, California.
“To the best of our knowledge, Harborside is the first cannabis business in the United States to secure a commercial loan of this kind with a traditional lender,” said Tom DiGiovanni, Chief Financial Officer of Harborside. “This deal is the culmination of months of effort and reflects the close working relationship and trust that we have developed with our bank. By significantly lowering our cost of capital, we will be able to better serve our customers, provide high-quality products and invest more heavily throughout California.”
“We are thrilled to solidify our relationship with our bank as they help support our efforts and growth throughout the state of California,” said Matthew Hawkins, Chairman of Harborside. “This Loan is a significant milestone for the entire U.S. cannabis industry and testament to the work that Harborside has done over the last four quarters in an effort to deliver for our customers and shareholders.”
Loan Terms
The Credit Facility has a variable interest rate based on the prime rate charged by the Bank plus a premium, with a floor rate of 5.75%, and will be secured by a first-priority security interest on substantially all of the Company’s assets. As consideration for the Credit Facility, the Company has agreed to, among other things: (i) deliver a commercial security agreement, an assignment of deposit account, and a security agreement in respect of cash collateral to the Bank; (ii) make an upfront cash payment based on the principal amount of the Credit Facility to the Bank as an original issue discount; and (iii) issue 4,100 warrants (the “Warrants“) to the Bank to purchase multiple voting shares (“MVS“) of the Company, which subject to certain conditions, are convertible into subordinate voting shares (“SVS“) of the Company at a conversion rate of 100 SVS for each MVS converted. Each Warrant will entitle the Bank to purchase one MVS of the Company at a price of C$369, at any time prior to March 19, 2023.
The phase II study will assess the efficacy and safety of a new Merck drug for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), a mental health condition that affects approximately 30% of people who suffer from major depressive disorder.
Yaron Conforti, CEO and Director of Novamind said: “Under Dr. Robison’s leadership, Cedar Clinical Research has proven itself as a best-in-class research site for emerging mental health therapeutics. We’re excited to work with Merck, a world-class pharmaceutical company, to advance research for innovative mental health treatments.”

– One of the largest gold discoveries in decades – Open in all directions and at depth – Exploration to increase in 2021 – Tudor is discovering gold at 1/50th the industry average* – Cost of discovery for AMK is $0 / Ounce – And yet… The Best Is Yet To Come! —————————————————————————————- American Creek Resources (TSX-V: AMK) Tudor Gold (TSX-V: TUD)
American Creek’s JV partner and operator at Treaty Creek, Tudor Gold, just announced a 27 million ounce gold equivalent resource* for the Goldstorm zone. This brings Goldstorm into a World Class category and while a discovery of this magnitude is very rare, Tudor’s VP of Exploration Ken Konkin says he’s just getting started. In the interview he states:
“This is the first page of a great book…I’m very excited about what we may find this year…I’m very optimistic.”
Every American Creek shareholder (and their friends and family) should watch Ken Konkin’s interview. Ken’s discussion highlights the true blue sky potential that Treaty Creek has. Who else in the world has ever said:
“You give me $30M and I’ll give you 30M ounces” [of gold M&I]
In the interview Ken lays out his priorities for the 2021 Drill Program. Priority #1 is to find the extent of the Goldstorm with big step outs then infill and convert as much of the Inferred resource into Measured and Indicated (M&I). Priority #2 is to expand exploratory drilling on the PS2 and Eureka zones.
“See if we can find another 15, 20, 25 million ounce deposit”
2021 at Treaty Creek is going to have more drills, more meters of drilling, convert Inferred resources to Measured & Indicated resources, expand the Goldstorm, develop the Perfect Storm zone, test the Eureka zone, and more. After watching this interview you’ll realize why… The Best Is Yet To Come!

Five silver bearing north – south structures were intercepted
North – South structures are mineralized
East – West Santa Maria structure returned 14.7 meters grading 44.92 g/t Ag Eq
Fabled Silver Gold Corp. (TSXV: FCO) (OTC Pink: FBSGF) (FSE: 7NQ) (“Fabled” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results of diamond drill hole 6 from the on-going 8,000 meter drill program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico.
Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, “This completes the results of the fence of drill holes 4,5 and 6 which are located approximately 125 meters to the east of the previous fence of holes 1, 2 and 3 which have been reported.
“Hole SM20-06 was drilled at -50 degrees and 232.0 meters in length and designed to test the various structures in the brittle oxide zone.
“Drill results demonstrate, while we are traversing eastwards the edge of a broad secondary north – south structure trend is starting to be encountered with intermittent silver mineralization within the structural fabric. As shown below in Table 1, five silver bearing north – south structures were intercepted before intersecting the targeted East – West Santa Maria structure which intersected 14.7 meters grading 44.92 g/t Ag Eq at -150 meters.
“Drill hole SM20-04 which was drilled at -60 below hole SM20-06 intercepted a north – south trending fault which displaced the Santa Maria Structure slightly to the south. This displacement is also quite evident in the first priority east to west northern IP anomaly IPSM-04 which has the same offset as we have encountered.
“Further evidence of the north – south trend is found in hole SM20-05 which has not only intersected the edge of Santa Maria structure but has also intersected three additional north – south trending mineralized structures reporting up to 232.08 g/t Ag Eq over 2.20 meters, 162.64 g/t Ag Eq over 0.55 meters and 1.6 meters grading 46.62 g/t Ag Eq before hitting the edge of the displaced Santa Maria structure at -300 meters vertically reporting 53.21 g/t Ag Eq over 7.2 meters.
“These intercepts add weight to the proposed theory that not only do the north – south structures slightly off set the east to west structures but they are more importantly mineralized.
“Re-logging of previously drilled hole SM-17-10 shows it intersected the north – south structures between hole SM20-04 and 05 at right angles to the structure not along the structure and returned1.40 g/t Au, 862 g/t Ag, 934.02 g/t Ag Eq.
“The two fences of drill holes 125 meters apart completes this drill section and adds new structural details to the interpretation on the newly interpreted East – West Santa Maria structure which is clearly defined from surface down to -350 meters vertically, which is the deepest hole ever drilled on the property. The structure remains very conformable and intersected exactly where predicted, which bodes very well for the expansion of Santa Maria and increasing the present NI 43-101 resources on the property with only 5 drill holes drilled to date.
“We expect to see the effect of the North – South structural fabric to become more intense as we move to the next fence of holes a further 200 meters to the east and expected to be in the middle of what is interpreted to be the center of the broad North – South structure intersecting the Santa Maria Structure. If this is the case this will set the stage for further investigation of this area.”
“We are very excited and honoured to be working with one of the world’s leading artificial intelligence institutions. We will now be able to accelerate our innovations and scale our team’s productivity while learning new ways to approach projects with new and unique technologies,” said Michael Lende, CEO of Predictiv AI. “The formalization of this relationship is a crucial building block in our growth plans as it allows us to remain asset-light while simultaneously accelerating innovation on our artificial intelligence and deep machine learning-based solutions. We look forward to a long-term association with Waterloo.AI.”
As part of our ongoing efforts to support Waterloo.AI and its partners, we’re very pleased to share information about an event they will be hosting next week – AI Industry Day on Tuesday, March 25th.
