Woz ED is a model for incorporating the engineering process in the K-12 classroom and accelerating the path to employment for students who choose drones as a career. Students start with an introduction to aviation in Kindergarten and transition to physics of flight and flight skills in middle school. Students may choose elective courses in the Junior and Senior year to enroll in a drone course where students learn the engineering behind a drone, as well as earn their certification. The certification will make the students employable as they leave high school.

The Association of Unmanned Vehicle Systems International projected more than 100,000 new jobs in unmanned aircraft by 2025.

TransCanna’s $TCAN.ca Lyfted Farms Set to Increase Cultivation by 300% $VFF.ca $ACB.ca $GTII.ca $TEQ.ca

  • Company anticipates escalation in cultivation to have direct effect on revenue growth
  • Strategic location of the Company’s new facility takes full advantage of California’s lowest industrial electrical costs
  • “Our new facility gives us a massive competitive cost advantage that will increase our margins and empower us to offer consumers the best products at the most competitive prices,” said Bob Blink

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2021) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: TH8) (OTC: TCNAF) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) has increased its cultivation capacity by 300%, enabling it to effectively triple production of its most profitable and in-demand product: exotic indoor flower. With this increased cultivation capacity, Lyfted Farms – hailed in the industry for its premium genetics and seasoned team of master cultivators – can now meet consumer-driven demand in Northern California while expanding into the sizable Southern California home containing over 23,000,000 residents.

“We literally cannot keep up with demand as the vast majority of shipments are selling out within days of landing on retail shelves,” said Alan Applonie, General Manager for TransCanna subsidiary, Lyfted Farms. “We have been waiting for the right time to enter the Southern California market but needed this increase in cultivation capacity to effectively build and preserve our reputation for unwavering quality and reliability with our retailers and consumers,” said Mr. Applonie.

In addition to increasing output, the strategic location of the Company’s new Daly facility in Modesto, California, takes full advantage of California’s lowest industrial electrical costs per kilowatt-hour.

“Electricity is the largest direct cost for indoor cultivation so the location of our new facility gives us a massive competitive cost advantage that will increase our margins and empower us to offer consumers the best products at the most competitive prices,” said Bob Blink, CEO of TransCanna.

The additional cultivation rooms coming online within the Daly facility also unlock Lyfted Farms’ ability to leverage its multi-decade relationships within the industry. The expansion in cultivation capacity opens the door for collaboration with other dominant California cannabis lifestyle brands. Ensuing co-branding efforts (soon to be revealed) will be powerful and will impact all meaningful cannabis market segments within the state.

The new developments represent significant strides in TransCanna’s mission to establish itself as California’s leading cannabis conglomerate.

NAM Further Demonstrates Presence of Rhodium at the River Valley Palladium Project Near Sudbury, Ontario $WG.ca $XTM.ca $WM.ca $PDL.ca $PGM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:20 AM on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2021

Highlights:

  • Rhodium (Rh) is the most valuable platinum group metal (PGM), with recent spot price highs of over $US24,000/oz Rh, nearly 18 times higher than Pt
  • 303 Rh assay results reported for the Pine Zone of the River Valley Deposit
  • Highest assay result is 0.177 g/t Rh, with 9 other samples returned assays at or greater than 0.100 g/t Rh and a total of 50 samples returned assays higher than 0.050 g/t Rh
  • The highest Rh concentrations coincide with the highest palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) grades – Rh concentrations in the River Valley Deposit are equivalent to 12% of the Pt grades
  • Based on encouraging results from phase 1, subsequent phases of the multi-phase Rh evaluation program will take samples of PGM mineralized intervals from the Dana South and Lismer zones
  • The River Valley Deposit is one of North Americas largest undeveloped primary platinum-group metal projects with 2.867 Moz Palladium Equivalent (PdEq) in the Measured + Indicated classifications and 1.059 Moz Pd Eq in the Inferred classification

New Age Metals Inc. (NAM) (TSXV:NAM); (OTC:NMTLF); (FSE:P7J) (“NAM” or the “Company”) announces completion of Phase 1 of an ongoing Rh assay program on the River Valley Palladium Deposit near Sudbury, Ontario (Figure 1). Phase 1 of the Rh assay program collected 303 pulp samples from 17 mineralized intervals in 14 drill holes through the Pine Zone. The samples were selected to provide Rh data for mineralization in two cross-sections spaced 50 metres apart through the Pine Zone, located near the north end of the 16 km long River Valley Deposit (Figure 1).  In addition to Rh, the samples were also assayed for gold (Au), iridium (Ir), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and ruthenium (Ru). The assays were completed on 2015-2020 drill core sample pulps at the Geoscience Laboratories in Sudbury.

The new Rh data reported herein are in addition to historical data generated from drill core, channel and surface grab samples from the River Valley Deposit (Figure 2) (see also Pacific North West Capital Corp. press release dated July 26, 2011). Rh is the most valuable platinum group metal (PGM), with recent spot price highs of over $US24,000/oz Rh, nearly 18 times higher than Pt. However, Rh analyses are too costly to be performed on every drill core assay sample. Rh is reported in the current Mineral Resource Estimate for the River Valley Deposit (see NAM press release dated August 8, 2019), based on regression analysis of historical drill core and channel sample assay data for the Dana North, Dana South and Lismer Zones.

  • Conducting survey to delineate Nickel targets north of Kenbridge deposit
  • TDEM surveys have been used extensively and successfully to aid in identifying nickel sulphide targets
  • Next step is to move the Kenbridge Deposit towards a Bankable Feasibility Study
  • Tartisan is planning a late spring early summer drill program

Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE:TN)(OTC Pink:TTSRF)(FSE:A2D) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the 100% owned Kenbridge Nickel Project in Northwestern Ontario. The Company has contracted Crone Geophysics & Exploration Ltd to complete a surface Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey over targets identified to the north of the known Kenbridge Ni-Cu-Co Deposit. The target areas are interpreted to represent similar rock types which host the Kenbridge Deposit. TDEM surveys have been used extensively and successfully to aid in identifying nickel sulphide targets like the Kenbridge Ni-Cu-Co Deposit.

The Company recently released an Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, Atikwa Lake Area, Northwestern Ontario (press released September 17, 2020). Tartisan Nickel Corp. subsequently announced that P&E Mining Consultants Inc. have been contracted to oversee the updating of the Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report (“PEA”) on the Kenbridge Project (press released February 2, 2021). The “PEA” will identify the critical next steps that Tartisan needs to take to move the Kenbridge Deposit towards a Bankable Feasibility Study including permitting, geotechnical, environmental, and geological considerations.

Mark Appleby, CEO of Tartian Nickel Corp. states; “the geophysical field crew is expected to mobilize to site in the next 2 weeks. Tartisan is planning a late spring early summer drill program on the down plunge and down dip extensions to the known deposit and will look to drill targets generated from the TDEM program”. Appleby goes on to state “Tartisan will aggressively move the Kenbridge Nickel Project forward in 2021”.
