That is what JS Research out of Germany is suggesting in their follow up to the Report on Treaty Creek they did in June 2020. We think that their research on the Goldstorm and our JV partner Tudor Gold does a good job showing the potential that lies before us including projections for size and value of the property. This year’s 20,000m drill program was recently doubled to 40,000 utilizing six drills and extending the drill season. We only have the first two rounds of assays and this seasons drill results have already eclipsed the great results of 2019. The geophysics and geology suggest more of the same so we’re looking forward to seeing if the trend continues throughout the year.
The Treaty Creek Project is a Joint Venture with Tudor Gold owning 3/5th and acting as operator. American Creek and Teuton Resources each have a 1/5th interest in the project creating a 3:1 ownership relationship between Tudor Gold and American Creek. American Creek and Teuton are both fully carried until such time as a Production Notice is issued, at which time they are required to contribute their respective 20% share of development costs. Until such time, Tudor is required to fund all exploration and development costs while both American Creek and Teuton have “free rides”.
Market value soon to be $ 1 billion?
Breathtaking gold rally in full swing! With this precious metal pearl you benefit to the maximum! Because the sensational news flow and gold contents of an average of 1.161 g / t Gold Eq over 930 meters justify a reassessment !!!
Dear Readers, Tudor Gold once again delivers massively – the brand new press release ( LINK here ) contains a wealth of important information for you as an investor:
Publication of further excellent drilling results, eg GS-20-65 with a near-surface interval of 2.12 g / t Gold Eq (equivalent) over 348 meters within a 930 meter interval with an average of 1.161 g / t Gold Eq.
GS-20-64 with a near-surface interval of 1.482 g / t Gold Eq over 154.5 meters within a 550.55 meter interval with an average of 0.983 g / t Gold Eq.
Hole GS-20-64 was a so-called step-out hole that significantly increased the length of the Goldstorm mineralization system on Treaty Creek from 850 to 1,000 meters . (The width is currently 600 meters) The system is open in all directions and at depth – further drilling will follow to define the limits of the enormous system.
Tudor Gold announced that instead of the planned 20,000 meters, 40,000 meters will now be drilled! The drilling program is completely financed, a total of 6 drilling rigs are used.
Another lower camp is being built, which will extend the drilling season by several months!
Tudor Gold (WKN: A2AJ7Y, Frankfurt: TUC / TSXV: TUD) has been on the lips of gold investors, brokers and industry experts for months. We hear from our Canadian network that bets are already being made as to when the first takeover offer for the world-class Treaty Creek project will arrive at the successful Walter Storm, CEO of Tudor Gold .
One thing is certain, there are only a handful of stocks on the quote that control a gold resource of over 15 million ounces of gold. And at the latest after yesterday’s press release, it will become clear to everyone that the ‘Goldstorm’ system is enormous and an absolute world-class project.
What we really like in yesterday’s press release is the fact that Tudor was able to extend the length of the (mineralization) system from 850 meters by another 150 meters to 1,000 meters . It remains open on all sides and in depth.
The Tudor Gold team of geologists and the market participants invested in the share hoped that the ‘ step-out’ well drilled would encounter gold-bearing mineralization again and significantly enlarge the gold system again.
And the GS-20-64 well was once again a direct hit: a high grade intersection with 1.482 g / t Gold Eq over 154.5 meters was found within a long drilling interval with 0.983 g / t Gold Eq over 550.55 meters.
What the market has not yet fully realized: The conceptual exploration target of 1 billion tons of rock is likely to be revised significantly upwards again. And that automatically increases the possible gold resource by an additional million ounces.
For us, it all looks like a possible future huge opencast mine. These operations often have a long mine life of more than 15/20 years and are at the top of M&A shopping lists for gold producers.
“Grade is King” – the high gold content of the drilling results to date speak in favor of Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek project:
A look at the published resource statements (‘proven and probable mineral reserves’) of the direct neighbor Seabridge Gold shows an ore grade of 0.55 g / t gold in the ‘KSM’ project. Even if Tudor Gold has not yet released a resource, the strong drilling results published to date, with long intervals of up to 1,081 meters and good gold grades, provide a very good indication of what the average grade of an ore could be from a potential resource. In our opinion, it should be loosely between 0.85 and 1.20 g / t Gold Eq , and thus significantly higher for ‘Treaty Creek’ than for the ‘KSM’ project!
Tudor Gold’s ‘Treaty Creek’ project is also very cost-effective to connect to the infrastructure (road and electricity) about 20 kilometers away. It is not necessary to build a very expensive and complex tunnel through the mountain, as with the neighbor, which can quickly cost 500 to 1,000 million dollars in such a dimension.
For such an investment amount, Tudor Gold’s complete open-cast mine, including infrastructure connection and processing systems, can possibly be realized. We are excited to see what the economic indicators in the ‘PEA’ (preliminary feasibility study) will look like.
The Treaty Creek project is an extremely rare rarity in the North American exploration sector!
No wonder why legendary mine investor and billionaire Eric Sprott recognized the enormous potential of the Treaty Creek project, as we did, in 2019 and has since participated in several rounds of financing from Tudor Gold.
Just last week, Eric Sprott struck again and increased his strategic equity position at Tudor Gold again. This time he accessed the stock market directly and invested another million CAD, as the insider filings below show:
Eric Sprott chatted in his weekly market commentary on July 24, 20 at Sprott Money News and named a few titles that he is convinced and invested in.
He also mentioned Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek project from 18:33 and speculated that the gold project could easily contain 20, 30, 40 or even 50 million ounces of gold . Feel free to listen to the interview at this link: LINK

Tudor Gold’s stock has risen by a sensational 1,000% since the beginning of 2019 – it is not too late for far-sighted investors to invest in this world-class project developer. We expect an enormous news flow by the end of the year, which should catapult the market capitalization to at least CAD 1 billion ! Do not miss this unique investment opportunity!
The market value of Tudor Gold is just under CAD 500 million – cheap in direct comparison to Seabridge Gold, which is valued at just under CAD 1.8 billion.

Let’s take a quick look at the brand new press release from 07/27/20 ( link here ) and let geologist Ken Konkin have his say:
Ken Konkin, Vice President of Project Development at Tudor Gold, P.Geo., Said in the press release: “For the second time this month, we are very pleased to report the results of GS-20-57 , which is an enriched mineralization section of 1.40 g / t AuEq averaging 217.5 meters (544.5 to 762.0 meters) within have a composite average of 0.845 g / t AuEq over 973.05 meters (34.50 to 1077.55 meters). Hole GS-20-65 was designed as a 100 meter undercut to drill hole GS-20-57. The result was a remarkable 348 meter intercept at 2,120 g / t AuEq within a larger 930 meter intercept at 1.161 g / t AuEq in hole GS-20-65. Further drilling is required in this central region to better define these high-grade areas (‘metal plumes’) that we believe will occur throughout the ‘Goldstorm’ system. There were three results above 15.0 g / t Au that occurred within hole GS-20-65. These include: 19.7 g / t Au over 1.5 meters (145.5 to 147.0 meters), 22.5 g / t Au over 1.5 meters (310.5 to 312.0 meters) and 34 .2 g / t Au over 1.0 meter(921.0 to 922.0 meters). The focus for the rest of this summer will be on completing exploration drilling to the limits of known mineralization along the northeastern axis. We started drilling on pad 8, a 150 meter step-out northeast of hole GS-20-47, which produced the best intersection of 0.697 g / t AuEq over 1081.5 meters in 2019. This hole ended in a mineralization zone as drilling capacity was reached. This year, all six drills have modified drill heads to complete boreholes more than 1,800 meters deep. However, we expect our longest holes to be approximately 1,400 meters long in 2020. ”
Konkin adds: “One of the most impressive aspects of the Goldstorm system is the constant strength of the mineralization. Hole GS-20-64 was a steeply angled 150 meter step-out that was drilled northeast of the DS-5 section beyond the trace. This exploration hole aimed to expand a very robust stockwork system that was intersected at the bottom of hole GS-19-47 with 0.996 g / t AuEq over 243 meters (933.5 to 1176.5 meters). The section ended in a mineralization zone at a depth of 1199 meters. The same DS-5 zone was intersected in GS-20-64, which doubled the cutting length from 243 meters to over 550 meters and averaged 0.983 g / t AuEq (648.4 to 1198.95 meters), which is extremely consistent with the results obtained in GS-19-47. An enriched upper part of the stockwork system gave 1,442 g / t AuEq over 154.5 meters (771.5 to 926.0 meters). We are currently re-drilling the GS-19-47 hole as the system may be much larger than originally anticipated based on the results of the GS-20-64 step-out hole located 150 meters northeast. The goal is to drill through the entire stockwork profile discovered in 2019. ”
On the map below you can see various wells and sections where they are located.
Source: Tudor Gold Corp. Walter Storm, President and CEO of Tudor Gold said: “Our technical team continues to research different areas of the drilling targets, achieving excellent results and the size of the ‘Goldstorm’ system is continuously expanding significantly. The north-east axis of the mineralized ‘Goldstorm’ (ore) body is now longer than a kilometer, and we still have to find the mineralization boundaries in the northeast and in depth. It was necessary to step up our efforts by doubling our drilling program to 40,000 meters and using more drilling rigs. We are very pleased to announce the approval of our new work permit, which will allow us to expand the drilling at ‘Goldstorm’ and drill additional zones. Tudor Gold’s construction teams are planning to build a lower-level drill camp, that will extend the exploration season by several months. We are now able to build land access routes to access the zones from the current camp as well as the proposed lower camp (on the Treaty Creek glacier toe). ”
The company recently uploaded an interesting video with the geological 3D model to the flagship project ‘Treaty Creek’ on the website.
For all new readers, we have briefly compiled some background information on Tudor Gold:
Tudor Gold is a precious metals and base metals exploration company with concession areas in British Columbia’s ‘Golden Triangle’, an area where producing or past mines are located, as well as several large deposits that are nearing potential development. The 17,913 hectare Treaty Creek Project (in which Tudor Gold holds a 60% stake) is adjacent to the KSM property of Seabridge Gold Inc. in the southwest and the ‘Brucejack’ property of Pretium Resources Inc. in the southeast. The company controls 100 % of the Electrum project. In addition, Tudor has ‘earn-in’ options or is 100% involved in other projects in the ‘Golden Triangle’.
The Sulfurets Thrust Fault leads from the Seabridge deposit ‘Iron Cap’ to the Tudor Gold ‘Goldstorm’ system from the southwestern corner of the ‘Treaty Creek’ claims, which adjoin Seabridge Gold’s concession areas. The Gold Storm Zone is located five kilometers northeast of Seabridge’s Iron Cap deposit.
The ‘Golden Triangle’ region is one of Canada’s richest gold regions – over 80 million ounces of gold and over 17 billion pounds of copper have already been found in the immediate vicinity of world-class explorer Tudor Gold!

Management expects significant revenue growth in 2020
MONTREAL, July 29, 2020 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today its financial and operational results for the second-quarter ended June 30th, 2020.
“Percent complete revenue recognition in our major projects, which is the revenue recognition method we are mandated to follow by GAAP, is such that it is not linear, but exponential and as such, Q2 is now starting to reflect the results one might expect given recent announcements. It is interesting to note that using this revenue recognition method, only $1.8MM has been recognized under the $22MM+ DROSRITE™ contract for which we have announced receipt of over $7MM, and which will be completed within the next year. Using this same revenue recognition method, we can provide guidance for Q3 2020, and for the year ending December 31st, 2020: At this point, we expect that Q3 2020, and the nine months ending September 30, 2020, will both be profitable as will year end results. We are projecting Q3 2020 EPS (Basic & Diluted) to be conservatively in excess of 6 cents,” said P. Peter Pascali, CEO and President of PyroGenesis. “We are happy to be reporting these results in record time, and are pleased to note that we did so within the time frame set by more demanding exchanges. As such, we have set a goal to report all future financial results within the more stringent requirements set by the TSX as opposed to the TSXV.”

OUTLOOK
Percent complete revenue recognition in our major projects, which is the revenue recognition method we are mandated to follow by GAAP, is such that it is not linear, but exponential and as such, Q2 is now starting to reflect the results one might expect given recent announcements. It is interesting to note that using this revenue recognition method, only $1.8MM has been recognized under the $22MM+ DROSRITE™ contract for which we have announced receipt of over $7MM, and which will be completed within the next year.
Using this same revenue recognition method, we can provide guidance for Q3 2020, and for the year ending December 31st, 2020: At this point we expect that Q3 2020, and the nine months ending September 30, 2020, will both be profitable as will year end results. We are projecting Q3 2020 EPS (Basic & Diluted) to be conservatively in excess of 6 cents and the year to be in excess of 10 cents.
Any discussion regarding the OUTLOOK of the company would be remiss if it did not address the continued increase in the Company’s market capitalization and the implications that has for the future.
Without a doubt the Company’s market capitalization suffered, as did many other companies, in the general Covid-19 market meltdown at the end of March 2020. However, PyroGenesis soon broke from the pack with the issuance of a material press release on March 24th, 2020.
Management believes that its breaking from the ranks caught the attention of investors, fund managers, and money managers who all now had the time during the COVID-19 lockdown to fully analyze the complicated story that is PyroGenesis. Management does not see any reason why this interest would abate anytime soon. To the contrary, Management has reason to believe that interest in the Company will only increase over the foreseeable future. As such, several strategies (up listings, spinoffs, acquisitions) are now being accelerated/considered.
Having a larger market capitalization has also helped in discussions with potential customers who take comfort from the possibility that a higher market capitalization may translate into easier access to capital. For the record, there is no intention to raise capital for working capital purposes.
If 2018 was the year in which PyroGenesis successfully positioned each of its commercial business lines by strategically partnering with multi-billion-dollar entities, and 2019 was the year that saw the appropriate personnel and infrastructure being put in place while building upon the success of 2018, then 2020 is without a doubt the year that the long awaited breakout, which began in the second half of 2019, takes place; it is in fact already upon us:
To date during 2020, PyroGenesis has:
received significant payments under the $22MM contract with Drosrite International thereby validating announcements made during 2019,
established a relationship with a US based tunneling company (contracts and payments ongoing),
Established itself in the iron ore pelletization industry as a potential supplier of torches geared to replacing existing burners and thereby reducing GHGs. Interest is also spilling over into other industries with GHG reduction targets,
Established a relationship with an OEM in North America with the intent to eventually supply powders for their 3D printing needs. This augments our relationship with Aubert & Duval, while at the same time de-risking our dependence on them,
retired the $3MM convertible debenture in full,
bought back approximately 1.2 Million shares under the existing Normal Course Issuer Bid,
increased Company’s investment in HPQ, who has subsequently also experienced a significant increase in market capitalization,
further benefited from early conversions of warrants maturing in 2021 of over $3MM.
The Company has booked a significant backlog of signed contracts (in excess of $28MM; 2019 Revenues approx. $5MM) which, when taking the eagerly awaited US Navy contract into account, will increase to over $38MM. This provides a solid cornerstone upon which PyroGenesis can:
continue to build on the recent successes with the Company’s DROSRITE™ offering,
Leverage off of the recent successes with the Company’s torch offerings to (i) the iron ore pelletization industry, and (ii) a tunneling client,
Accelerate activities with Aubert & Duval in the Additive Manufacturing sector as well as HPQ in the Mining and Metallurgical sector, both of which did not progress as fast as management would have liked in 2019. Significant attention will be placed on both these activities in 2020.
Specifically, with Aubert & Duval the goal will be to complete the integration of the cutting-edge advances PyroGenesis has made to the powder production process.
With respect to HPQ, the goal would be to accelerate the game changing PUREVAP™ family of processes which we are developing for HPQ, namely:
The PUREVAP™ “Quartz Reduction Reactors” (QRR), an innovative process (patent pending), which will permit the one step transformation of quartz (SiO2) into high purity silicon (Si) at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint that will propagate its considerable renewable energy potential; and
The PUREVAP™ Nano Silicon Reactor (NSiR), a new proprietary process that use PUREVAP™ QRR silicon (Si) as feedstock, to make spherical silicon nano powders and nanowires;
Looking forward, the Company has, as of December 31st, 2019, approximately $10MM of in-the-money warrants and options expiring in 2020 and 2021. The Company also has over $50MM in tax loss carryforwards (roughly evenly distributed between federal and provincial obligations) which is not reflected as an asset on the balance sheet.
Financial Summary
Revenues
PyroGenesis recorded revenue of $2,128,454 in the second quarter of 2020, representing an increase of 133% compared with $913,769 recorded in the second quarter of 2019.
Revenues recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were generated primarily from:
DROSRITE™ related sales of $1,319,904 (3 months) and $1,794,336 (6 months),
PUREVAP™ related sales of $25,093 (3 months) and $43,058 (6 months),
torch related sales of $617,077 (3 months) and $705,022 (6 months),
support services related to PAWDS-Marine systems supplied to the US Navy $37,143 (3 months) and $61,039 (6 months).
Cost of Sales and Services and Gross Margins
Cost of sales and services before amortization of intangible assets was $855,049 in Q2 2020, representing an increase of 18% compared with $723,641 in Q2 2019, primarily due to an increase in subcontracting and direct material expenses offset by a reduction in employee compensation in Q2 2020.
In Q2 2020, employee compensation decreased to 103,957 (Q2 2019 – $414,873) and subcontracting, direct materials and manufacturing overhead increased to $813,201 (Q2 2019 – $335,240). The gross margin for Q2 2020 was $1,268,592 or 59.5% of revenue compared to a gross margin of $185,349 or 20.3% of revenue for Q2 2019. As a result of the type of contracts being executed, the nature of the project activity, as well as the composition of the cost of sales and services, as the mix between labour, materials and subcontracts may be significantly different. Of note, the Company in Q2 2020 applied for an amount of $648,125 in wage subsidy from Revenue Canada under the CEWS program. From this amount, $92,028 was applied to employee compensation under cost of sales and services.
Investment tax credits recorded against cost of sales are related to projects that qualify for tax credits from the provincial government of Quebec. Qualifying tax credits decreased to $18,758 in Q2 2020, compared with $29,061 in Q2 2019. This represents a decrease of 35% year-over-year. In total, the Company earned refundable investment tax credits of $17,332 in Q2 2020. The Company continues to make investments in research and development projects involving strategic partners and government bodies.
The amortization of intangible assets of $6,813 in Q2 2020 and $4,779 for Q2 2019 relates to patents and deferred development costs. Of note, these expenses are non-cash items and will be amortized over the duration of the patent lives.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Included within Selling, General and Administrative expenses (“SG&A”) are costs associated with corporate administration, business development, project proposals, operations administration, investor relations and employee training.
SG&A expenses for Q2 2020 excluding the costs associated with share-based compensation (a non-cash item in which options vest principally over a four-year period), were $1,641,338 representing an increase of 4% compared with $1,583,779 reported for Q2 2019.
The increase in SG&A expenses in Q2 2020 over the same period in 2019 is mainly attributable to the net effect of:
an increase of 34% in employee compensation due primarily to an increase in commission expenses offset by amounts claimed from Revenue Canada under the CEWS wage subsidy program,
an increase of 15% for professional fees, primarily due to an increase in legal fees,
a decrease of 0.4% in office and general expenses, is due to a decrease in computer and internet expenses,
travel costs decreased by 82%, due to a decrease in travel abroad,
depreciation on property and equipment decreased by 79% due to lower amounts of property and equipment being depreciated,
depreciation on right of use assets decreased by 19% due to lower amounts of right of use assets being depreciated,
Investment tax credits increased by 328% due to an additional refund of $24,605 from the 2018 tax return filed,
government grants increased by 228% due to higher levels of activities supported by such grants,
other expenses decreased by 33%, primarily due to a decrease in cost of freight and shipping.
Separately, share based payments decreased by 14% in Q2 2020 over the same period in 2019 as a result of the vesting structure of the stock option plan including the stock options granted on January 2, 2020.
Research and Development (“R&D”) Costs
The Company incurred ($3,869) of R&D costs, net of government grants, on internal projects in Q2 2020, a decrease of 102% as compared with $212,645 in Q2 2019. The decrease in Q2 2020 is primarily related to an increase in government grants supporting our R&D activities and an amount of $129,201 claimed under the wage subsidy from Revenue Canada under the CEWS program.
In addition to internally funded R&D projects, the Company also incurred R&D expenditures during the execution of client funded projects. These expenses are eligible for Scientific Research and Experimental Development (“SR&ED”) tax credits. SR&ED tax credits on client funded projects are applied against cost of sales and services (see “Cost of Sales” above).
Net Finance Costs
Finance costs for Q2 2020 totaled $276,928 as compared with $275,418 for Q2 2019, were less than 1%, resulting in a virtually unchanged variance.
Strategic Investments
The adjustment to the fair market value of strategic investments for Q2 2020 resulted in a gain of $5,899,465 compared to a loss in the amount of $339,313 in Q2 2019, representing an increase of 1839% year-over-year. The increase is primarily attributable to the increased market share value in the HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. and Beauce Gold Fields.
Net Comprehensive Loss
The net comprehensive gain for Q2 2020 of $5,228,020 compared to a loss of $2,253,390, in Q2 2019, represents an increase of 332% year-over-year. The increased gain of $7,481,410 in the comprehensive gain in Q2 2020 is primarily attributable to the factors described above, which have been summarized as follows:
an increase in product and service-related revenue of $1,214,685 arising in Q2 2020, an increase in cost of sales and services totaling $133,442, primarily due to an increase in subcontracting, direct materials, manufacturing overhead & other, offset by a decrease in employee compensation,
an increase in SG&A expenses of $53,613 arising primarily due to an increase in employee compensation, professional fees, offset by a decrease in travel, depreciation on property and equipment, depreciation ROU assets, and other expenses,
a decrease in R&D expenses of $216,512 primarily due to an increase in government grants and wage subsidy,
an increase in net finance costs of $1,510 primarily due to interest on higher amounts of debt,
an increase in fair value adjustment of $6,238,778 primarily due to strategic investments.
EBITDA
The EBITDA gain in Q2 2020 was $5,610,023 compared with an EBITDA loss of $1,814,832 for Q2 2019, representing an increase of 409% year-over-year. The $7,424,855 increase in the EBITDA gain in Q2 2020 compared with Q2 2019 is due to the increase in comprehensive income of $7,418,410, a decrease in depreciation on property and equipment of $38,927, a decrease in depreciation of right of use assets of $21,171, an increase in amortization of intangible assets of $2,034, and an increase in finance charges of $1,511.
Adjusted EBITDA gain in Q2 2020 was $5,633,661 compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1,787,248 for Q2 2019. The increase of $7,420,909 in the Adjusted EBITDA gain in Q2 2020 is attributable to an increase in EBITDA gain of $7,424,855, offset by a decrease of $3,946 in share-based payments.
The Modified EBITDA loss in Q2 2020 was $265,804 compared with a Modified EBITDA loss of $1,447,935 for Q2 2019, representing a decrease of 82%. The decrease in the Modified EBITDA loss in Q2 2020 is attributable to the increase as mentioned above in the Adjusted EBITDA of $7,357,909 and an increase in the change of fair value of strategic investments of $6,238,778.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred, in the last several years, operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, resulting in an accumulated deficit of $57,304,682 and a negative working capital of $7,463,370 as at Q2 2020, (December 31, 2019 – $60,237,656 and $10,492,102 respectively). Furthermore, as at Q2 2020, the Company’s current liabilities and expected level of expenses for the next twelve months exceed cash on hand of $1,567,777 (December 31, 2019 – $34,431). The Company has relied upon external financings to fund its operations in the past, primarily through the issuance of equity, debt, and convertible debentures, as well as from investment tax credits.
Revenue generated from active projects has begun to produce sufficient positive cash flow to fund operations. The Company has a strong backlog from signed contracts totaling $28MM, and a pipeline of prospective new projects resulting in the Company’s business plan becoming less dependent on raising additional funds to finance operations within and beyond the next 12 months. While the Company has been successful in securing financing in the past, raising additional funds is dependent on a number of factors outside the Company’s control, and as such there is no assurance that it will be able to do so, should it need to, in the future. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient additional financing when needed, it may have to curtail operations and development activities, any of which could harm the business, financial condition and results of operations.

About Candente Gold
Candente Gold has launched a comprehensive growth strategy to build a cash flowing business platform and gain access to properties with near surface exploration potential while maintaining El Oro as its flagship asset and an integral part of the overall growth strategy. The acquisition of the SDA Plant and the El Dorado historic mines signifies an important first step.
The financial benefits from Western Mexico operations and the addition of specialized personnel will translate across platforms to strengthen our efforts to explore and potentially mine. The Company is currently evaluating properties that are complimentary to the SDA plant and El Dorado Property.
El Oro is a district scale gold project encompassing a well-known prolific high-grade gold dominant gold-silver epithermal vein system in Mexico. The project covers 20 veins with past production and more than 57 veins in total, from which approximately 6.4 million ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these veins (Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin No. 37, Mining of the El Oro and Tlapujahua Districts. 1920, T. Flores*)
Modern understanding of epithermal vein systems indicates that several of the El Oro district’s veins hold excellent discovery potential, particularly below and adjacent to the historic workings of the San Rafael Vein, which was mined to an average depth of only 200 metres.
Joanne C. Freeze, P.Geo., President, CEO and Director and Matthew Melnyk, CPG., Director Operations are Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the projects discussed above. Ms. Freeze and Mr. Melnyk have reviewed and approved the contents of this release.

When the subsidiary of a Billion Dollar, Nutrition Focused company buys 11.5% of your stock, agrees to a voluntary 12-month lock up and holds anti-dilution rights to maintain it’s ownership percentage by buying a proportionate number of shares in any future financing, it is safe to assume you have a strategic investor who believes in the future of your company.
When that same strategic investor wants to then help your company expand into large international markets, it is safe to assume your plant based food capabilities are amongst the most respected in the world.
This is just a glimpse into the strength of Else Nutrition (BABY:TSXV) (BABYF:OTCQB), an Israeli based, award winning plant based food nutrition company that is giving small cap investors an opportunity to participate in the global paradigm shift towards plant-based, clean label foods.US MARKET COMMERCIALIZATION COMMENCES
Given what you now know, it should come as no surprise that – as part of its path to commercialization in the U.S.A. – it has just successfully completed its first full-scale commercial production run of its Plant-based Toddler Nutrition product. The production run was completed at the U.S. based facilities of the Company’s production partner, a leading producer of organic baby formula in the U.S. BABY CEO Hamutal Yitzhak stated “These accomplishments further demonstrate our readiness for launch into the North American marketplace.Parents across North America have been looking for clean, plant-based, whole food nutrition options for their children – and we are set to make this a reality” “Making it a reality”appears imminent because the company has signed broker agreements with three (3) reputable, natural food retail brokers, and is close to signing with a fourth broker. Moreover, pre-orders are already commencing online. In short, BABY is on the proverbial commercial launch pad into a paradigm shifting industry that itself is also on the launch pad for the 2020 decade – Plant Based, Clean Label Foods.
If you believe in the future of plant-based, clean label foods or want to discover its possibilities, then watch this incredible interview with CEO Hamutal Yitzhak.
