  • Announced that is has signed an agreement with Qiyuesuo, China’s leading digital document signing service provider, that will allow members of its Lending Hub ecosystem to digitally sign legally binding agreements with one another
  • Qiyuesuo (https://www.qiyuesuo.com/) or “Contract Lock” is used by some of China’s most prominent web platforms including search engine giant Baidu and Ant Financial

Montreal, Quebec–(March 9, 2021) – Peak Fintech Group Inc. (CSE: PKK) (OTCQX: PKKFF) (“Peak” or the “Company”), an innovative Fintech service provider to the Chinese commercial lending sector, today announced that is has signed an agreement with Qiyuesuo, China’s leading digital document signing service provider, that will allow members of its Lending Hub ecosystem to digitally sign legally binding agreements with one another.

Ever since its re-launch late in the third quarter of 2020, Peak’s Gold River platform has seen an increasing amount of activity. The platform has become particularly popular with supply-chain businesses, from restaurants and retailers to factories and raw material suppliers, serving as a gateway to the Lending Hub where orders they place through Gold River can qualify for financing from the Hub’s financial institution partners. In some cases, the purchase orders are tied to contracts, which until now had to be executed offline or outside of the Gold River/Lending Hub ecosystem between the clients and suppliers. Given that contracts must bear a corporate seal in order to be legally binding in China, physical distance alone can sometimes make it difficult to do business. Case in point: Peak announced the arrival of China’s 2nd largest steel supplier, Xingcheng Special Steel Works Ltd. (“XSSW”) to its ecosystem in December 2020 but XSSW’s need for legally binding contracts has thus far limited its activity on the Gold River and Lending Hub. The announced partnership aims to remove that barrier to allow businesses typically involved in large value transactions to freely transact with one another within the Hub.

Qiyuesuo (https://www.qiyuesuo.com/) or “Contract Lock” is used by some of China’s most prominent web platforms including search engine giant Baidu and Ant Financial. Any contract signed with Contract Lock has an independent and complete digital audit record, in line with judicial evidence collection records, complies with the “Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China”, “The Electronic Commerce Law of the People’s Republic of China”, “The Electronic Signature Law of the People’s Republic of China” and has the same legal effect as a legally binding paper contract.

“Companies like Qiyuesuo are helping to revolutionize the way business is done in China, contributing to helping move the country to a more digital society and better automated processes, which is in line with Peak’s service offering,” commented Liang Qiu CEO of Peak China. “Giving raw material suppliers such as steel suppliers or petroleum based product suppliers, who typically deal with average orders worth several million dollars, the ability to enter into legally binding contracts on our platforms opens a whole new world of possibilities for us. This should have a significant impact on the value of the average size of transactions that take place throughout our ecosystem. With the integration of Contract Lock combined with everything else that our ecosystem already offers, including the upcoming implementation of our payment processing and fund transfer services, we’re truly on the verge of building an all-encompassing B2B ecosystem promoting transaction efficiency predicated on data, analytics and AI.”

Fabled $FCO.ca Reports Intersection of New Mineralized North – South Structures $RDU.ca $KTN.ca $GMBXF $EDR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:17 AM on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021
  • On-going 8,000 meter drill program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico
  • SM20-05 intersected three additional north – south trending mineralized structures
  • North – South trending fault has displaced the Santa Maria Structure slightly to the south
  • Next fence of holes a further 200 meters to the East

Fabled Silver Gold Corp. (TSXV: FCO) (OTC Pink: FBSGF) (FSE: 7NQ) (“Fabled” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce diamond drill holes 4 and 5 from the on-going 8,000 meter drill program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico.

Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, “The fence of drill holes 4,5 and 6 are located approximately 125 meters to the east of the previous fence of holes 1, 2 and 3 which have been reported.

“As expected, as we traverse eastwards the edge of a secondary north – south structure trend is starting to be encountered. Hole SM20-04 drilled at -60 degrees intersected 12.5 meters grading 22.37 g/t Ag Eq at -200 meters vertically in a north – south trending fault which has 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 displace 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. We expect to see this become more pervasive in the next fence of holes a further 200 meters to the east and to be in the middle of what is interpreted to be the center of the North – South structure intersecting the Santa Maria.

“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 returned 1.40 g/t Au, 862 g/t Ag, 934.02 g/t Ag Eq.

“These drill holes plus the results from hole SM20-06, to be announced, adds to the drill sections and interpretation on the newly interpreted Santa Maria structure and clearly defines the structure 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.”

Peter Hawley continues, “The data being obtained from this fence of drill holes with the mineralized north – south structures now evident should not only help target adding silver ounces to the overall resource but also allow us to interpret and model the behavior of this robust mineralized system for future drilling as we expand outwards from the present resource. We now have two mineralized plumbing systems starting to intersect which bodes well for the future drilling.”

Manitou Gold $MTU.ca Intersects Wide Zones of Increasing Gold Mineralization in Stover Zone Step-Down Holes $AGI.ca $OIII.ca $AR.ca $WDO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:08 AM on Tuesday, March 9th, 2021
  • Main Shear Confirmed Along 2 km Strike Length
  • Drilling at Stover continues to intersect broad zones of gold mineralization
  • 3.0 m grading 4.0 g/t Au within a broader intersection of 49 m grading 0.7 g/t Au

Manitou Gold Inc. (TSX-V: MTU) (the “Company” or “Manitou”) is pleased to announce additional assay results from its ongoing 10,000 metre drill program along the eastern portion of the Baltimore deformation zone (the “BDZ”) on its 100% owned Goudreau Project in Northeastern Ontario.

Highlights of drill results are from the Stover zone and newly identified extension zones, where the Company is reporting assay results from an additional eight drill holes completed in February of this year. Drilling is ongoing, with two diamond drill rigs currently testing the Stover zone and 28 other high priority targets on the eastern 4 kms of the 18 km length of the BDZ on Manitou property.

Highlights:

  • Drilling at Stover continues to intersect broad zones of gold mineralization down plunge of previously announced, shallow drill hole intersections, with highlights including:
    • 3.0 m grading 4.0 g/t Au within a broader intersection of 49 m grading 0.7 g/t Au (starting at 291 m down hole) in hole MTU-21-10, located approximately 200 metres down-plunge of hole MTU-20-56, which intersected 15 m grading 1.5 g/t Au, including 5.3 m at 2.7 g/t Au; and
    • 36.5 m grading 0.5 g/t Au (starting at 186.9 m down hole), including 4.4 m at 1.8 g/t Au in hole MTU-21-07, located 150 m up plunge of MTU-21-10.
  • Identified significant gold mineralization over widths of up to 12 m in step-out holes located 1.2 kms east and 600 m west of the Stover zone along the “Main shear”;
  • The Main shear has now been drill confirmed along 2 km of strike length.
  • All gold zones encountered along the BDZ to date remain open in all directions; additional drilling to test for higher grade shoots is ongoing. A second diamond drill is completing follow-up hole in the vicinity of the step-out drilling to determine the extent of gold mineralization in these new areas.
  • Aggressive step-down drill-hole underway with hole MTU-21-12, which targets the Stover zone 200 m down-plunge from the deepest intercept to date. Hole MTU-21-12 is an aggressive step-down drill hole which targets the mineralized zone at a vertical depth of approximately 450 metres.

“Our exploration thesis for the BDZ is that the orogenic gold environment proven up by our neighbours to the west is intact, with the main gold bearing sections beginning at depths of several hundred metres below surface. The deeper we have drilled on the Stover zone, the more confirmation we are getting in this regard. I am very optimistic about the ongoing hole MTU-21-12, which is testing 200 metres below our most recent, highest grade intersection to date,” stated Richard Murphy, President and CEO of Manitou Gold. “I am also looking forward to the results of our ongoing geophysical surveys, which are covering the western ten kilometres of the BDZ on Manitou Property. I expect that we will be ramping up our exploration drilling to test new targets in this area.”

Stover Zone

Today’s results from the Stover zone includes two drill holes collared 50 m and 200 m down-plunge of previously released drill holes, (see news release dated December 16, 2020 & news release January dated January 12, 2021) which intersected up to 39.9 m at 0.5 g/t in hole MTU-20-49, 0.8 g/t Au over 18.0 m, including 3.3 g/t Au over 2.1 m in hole MTU-20-52 and 15 m grading 1.5 g/t Au, including 5.3 m at 2.7 g/t Au in hole MTU-20-56.

Hole MTU-21-07 returned 36.5 m at 0.5 g/t Au (starting at 186.9 m down hole), including 4.4 m at 1.8 and Hole MTU-21-10 intersected 49 m at 0.7 g/t Au (starting at 291 m down hole), including 3.0 m at 4.0 g/t Au.

The new results demonstrate the down-plunge continuity of mineralization and validate the interpretation of steeply westerly plunging shoots. Drill results to date demonstrate the continuity of mineralization over a distance of 200 metres along strike and 350 metres down plunge.

The company is now completing an aggressive step-down drill hole which targets the mineralized zone at a vertical depth of approximately 450 metres and 200 metres down plunge of the deepest intercept to date.

  • Subject to closing a recently announced financing, this release will outline our 2021 objectives including;
  • NAM intends to engage third party engineering companies to complete the River Valley Palladium Project’s first Prefeasibility Study before the end of the first quarter of 2022.
  • NAM technical teams are finalizing plans for additional exploration drilling of up to 5,000 metres at the River Valley Project to further delineate the northernmost mineralized zones, expand the known mineralization boundaries and for resource classification.
  • NAM has received notice that a drill permit for its Lithium One Project in southeast Manitoba has been approved and is extending its permit for the Lithium Two Project. A minimum 2,000 metre drill program on the Lithium Two Project is scheduled for the second quarter of this year.
  • NAM has submitted a second application to the Manitoba Chamber of Commerce’s, Mineral Development Fund (MMDF). The Company hopes to co-fund the program with the MMDF to conduct a drone magnetometry survey on its Lithium Two, Lithman West and Cat Lake Lithium projects.
  • The River Valley Palladium Project is one of North America’s largest undeveloped primary Platinum Group Metal (PGM) projects. The Project has excellent infrastructure and is within 100 kilometres of the Sudbury Metallurgical Complex. The Project is 100% owned by New Age Metals.
  • The spot price of an ounce of palladium, platinum, and rhodium as of March 4, 2021 was $US2,285/oz, $US1,160/oz, and $US26,000/ oz respectively (Kitco, 2021)

New Age Metals Inc. (TSXV:NAM); (OTC:NMTLF); (FSE:P7J.F) Harry Barr, Chairman & CEO, stated; “We are pleased to provide shareholders with a corporate update to detail our planned exploration and development activities for our portfolio of North American green metal projects in 2021.”

NAM is focused on advancing River Valley to a Prefeasibility study. This study would be based on completion of metallurgy, hydrogeology, geotechnical surveys, an updated mineral resource estimate, environmental baseline, infill and exploration drilling. Management has received quotes from third party engineering and environmental firms and confirmed a budget for the study. Subject to the completion of the recently announced financing, management plans to initiate this study in the first half of 2021. Our objective is to complete the Prefeasibility study on or before the end of the first quarter of 2022.

NAM’s technical team is finalizing a phase one drill program for up to 5,000 metres for the northern portion of the River Valley Project. Next phases of drilling will focus on the Dana North, Dana South, Pine, Banshee, Lismer and Pardo Zones (Figure 1) given their fundamental importance to any potential mining operation at River Valley. The occurrence of surface mineralization in the River Valley Intrusion, drill hole mineralization and geophysical chargeability east of the footwall boundary of the current resource model are all strong indicators of mineralization that could be added to a future resource model. Proposed drill targets are illustrated in Figure 1 below.

 Figure 1: Northern area of the River Valley Project.The image shows numerous IP anomalies similar to Pine Zone extend northeast (externally) and southwest (internally) of the footwall contact of the River Valley Intrusion. Those IP anomalies remain to be drill tested.

A Note From Liquid Avatar $LQID CEO Regarding #NFT’s (Non-fungible token) $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca $CTZ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:36 AM on Monday, March 8th, 2021

Good Morning.

With the recent interest in NFTs, we’re starting to receive a lot of questions and I wanted to provide our stakeholders with a quick note, as the Company continues to explore this fast-rising sector.

Liquid Avatar icons (the high-quality digital images that make up your “avatar”) started their journey as potential NFTs (ERC 1155) and we continue to monitor the sector carefully. We believe that value of NFTs are real, and through the increased media attention the market is beginning to understand the value and power of the global blockchain movement beyond the trading and holding of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other fungible coins and tokens and how you can attach value to the blockchain.

This past weekend, there have been a number of great articles about the state of the NFT industry, including:

If you thought PK Beans $BEAN is just a children’s clothes retailer, you’d better think again.  Whereas children’s clothes retailers simply stack, rack and sell on volume, $BEAN is bringing the kind of innovation to the space that we once saw from the likes of Apple. 

Just as Apple did back in the day, $BEAN is creating a complete experience out of their products that includes the use of Augmented Reality stories with characters that carry great messages while showcasing their products.

More than just a cool idea, $BEAN innovation is creating some eye-popping KPI’s in it’s very early pivot such as:

  • 10,000 customers  
  • 62% returning customer rate  
  • $29 on every $1 of ad spend
  • 18,000 + orders in 2020
  • 55% increase in online visitors
  • $1.5M + in 2020 sales
  • …. and much more 

Beyond Augmented Reality, $BEAN has also incorporated a second-hand resale and sustainable initiative that, combined with the fact it is Canada’s only public company with a board dominated by women, is quickly becoming a great ESG company.

Why is that important?  ESG investing (Environmental, social and corporate governance) is a very big trend in the United States, where BEAN is expanding to next!
