PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Receives $345K Milestone Payment from RISE Energy Technology Center AB $LMT $RTN $NOC $UTX $HPQ.ca $DDD.ca $SSYS $PRLB

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:41 AM on Monday, November 4th, 2019
  • Further to its previous press release dated October 17th, 2019, the Company has received a milestone payment of approx. $345K from RISE Energy Technology Center AB
  • Contract, originally announced last January, is for a 900-kW plasma torch system which was won in a competitive bid process.

MONTREAL, Nov. 04, 2019 – 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 products, announced today that, further to its previous press release dated October 17th, 2019, the Company has received a milestone payment of approx. $345K from RISE Energy Technology Center AB (the “Client”).

This contract, originally announced last January, is for a 900-kW plasma torch system which was won in a competitive bid process.

Following the success of the Factory Acceptance Test last month, PyroGenesis’ team performed the SAT of the high-power plasma torch at the Client’s facility in Sweden where the torch has been installed and operated under the Client’s parameters. This milestone payment is connected to the successful Site Acceptance Test (“SAT”) where the torch has been installed on the Client’s reactor, upon which a series of tests are now being conducted. A final payment is also expected towards the end of month once all tests are completed.

PyroGenesis’ 900-kW plasma torch is to be tested to replace fossil fuel burners in the iron ore induration (pelletization) process. Pelletization is the process in which iron ore is concentrated before shipment, thus significantly reducing the cost of transportation. In conventional technology, the process heat is provided by diesel/fuel burners. The combustion, in the burners, of natural gas, heavy oil and/or pulverized coal results in the production of greenhouse gases such as CO2. Plasma torches are therefore an environmentally friendly alternative.

According to management a typical pellet plant producing 10 million metric tonnes of pellets annually, emits approximately one million metric tonnes of CO21. The total world pellet production of 400 million metric tonnes of pellets corresponds to the production of about 40 million metric tonnes of CO2, and represents a potential market for torch sales in excess of $10B worldwide.

Separately, further to the Press Release dated October 9th, 2019, wherein it was disclosed that a $6.4M payment was expected within 2-4 weeks, the Company confirms that this the payment is still on schedule.

On a separate note, further to a Press Release dated September 18th, 2019, the Company provides the following additional information with respect to the agreement with Independent Trading Group (“ITG”). The agreement is for an initial term of three (3) months (the “Initial Term”), renewable for subsequent one (1) month terms (each an “Additional term”), unless PyroGenesis or ITG provides at least thirty (30) days written notice prior to the end of the Initial Term or an Additional Term. The Company has agreed to pay ITG a service fees of $5,000 per month, plus applicable taxes. There are no performance factors contained in the agreement between ITG and the Company, and ITG will not receive any shares or options from the Company as compensation for the services it will render.

Loncor $LN.ca – Hard Asset Digest October 2019 Gold Market Update $ABX.ca $TECK.ca $RSG $NGT.to

Posted by AGORACOM at 2:34 PM on Friday, November 1st, 2019

Sponsor: Loncor is a Canadian gold exploration company focused on two projects in the DRC – the Ngayu and North Kivu projects. Both projects have historic gold production. Exploration at the Ngayu project is currently being undertaken by Loncor’s joint venture partner Barrick Gold (Congo) SARL (“Barrick”). The Ngayu project is 200 kilometres southwest of the Kibali gold mine, which is operated by Barrick and in 2018 produced approximately 800,000 ounces of gold. As per the joint venture agreement signed in January 2016, Barrick manages and funds exploration at the Ngayu project until the completion of a pre-feasibility study on any gold discovery meeting the investment criteria of Barrick. Subject to the DRC’s free carried interest requirements, Barrick would earn 65% of any discovery with Loncor holding the balance of 35%. Loncor will be required, from that point forward, to fund its pro-rata share in respect of the discovery in order to maintain its 35% interest or be diluted. Click Here for More Info

The first thing is gold 

It’s true that gold has made a significant upward move from $1,300 per ounce in May to currently around $1,500 per ounce with at least some of that move being attributable to bullish market fundamentals. Yet, we can also count on a lot more whipsaw action as gold continues to be ping-ponged about from geopolitical headline to geopolitical headline. 

The devaluation of fiat currencies in the face of rising and unsustainable debt loads across all developed economies will be the true driver of the long-term bull market that’s beginning to take form now.

 US government spending is so wildly out of control, and has been for more than a decade, that the federal debt will become unmanageable in the very near future. 

 Not that long ago, economists didn’t really have to think in terms of “Trillions of Dollars.” Yet today, we’ve grown accustomed to the fact… however dire it may be…that our federal debt is ballooning at a rate of nearly $1.5 Trillion each and every year. It’s simply not sustainable. 

At this rate, it will only be a few years until America can no longer afford to service its federal debt — no matter where interest rates go. 

Add to that the fact that we’re seeing this exact pattern of excessive money printing combined with unsustainable debt accumulation emerge across all developed economies. 

The end result can be only one thing: A devaluation of all fiat currencies. 

This doomed race to the bottom will leave gold, along with silver, standing alone as the only real store of value.

The EU is nearing recession

The Eurozone continues to experiment with negative interest rates in an attempt to spur economic growth by encouraging bank lending and also by boosting exports. Yet, the bottom line is that banks simply cannot make money in a negative deposit rate environment. 

 As much as banks may continue to try and sway lenders to do something more useful with their money than simply parking it with the European Central Bank, it’s doubtful such an ill-devised monetary policy can stave off recession. 

Thus far, growth has remained anemic, raising the specter of a recession hitting the Eurozone sometime next year.  

US/China Trade War: A trickle down effect across Europe’s largest economies

Germany, Europe’s largest economy, is suffering its worst manufacturing downturn in almost seven years as the US/China trade war spills over into european economies. 

 It’ll be interesting to see if Germany resorts to injecting fiscal stimulus (aka, the printing of even more money!) to boost its sagging export-reliant economy. Growth forecasts for 2020 have already fallen below the key 1% threshold.

Britain, Europe’s second largest economy, remains mired in its self-induced Brexit maelstrom, which certainly isn’t helping things from an economic standpoint. 

In what looks to be a warning sign of impending stagnation, the British economy took its first step backward (in Q2) in more than 7 years. Amid all the turmoil, it seems increasingly doubtful Britain will be exiting the EU on October 31st, with or without a deal, as the Brexit cloud continues to darken.

New reports are also revealing weakness in Europe’s third largest economy, France. In fact, the export sectors of both France and Germany – which includes their high-profile automobile industries – are being hit hard by flagging demand from China.

 The luster is coming off the Chinese economy

While growth in China held steady at 6.4% in Q1 this year, it proceeded to slip to 6.2% in Q2. Economic numbers over the last few months reveal that the worst may not yet be over for China with analysts projecting weakening third quarter data. 

 A recent survey by China Beige Book reveals slowing growth and soaring debt levels for the world’s second largest economy.

 Here at home, the trade war continues to stoke recession fears

US gross domestic product grew at a 2% annual pace from April to June, which was in-line with expectations. Yet, how long can that last?

Affinity Metals $AAF.ca Gold Prices to Push to $1,600 an Ounce in 2020, says World Bank $SII.ca $TUD.ca $GTT.ca $AMK.ca $OSK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:38 AM on Friday, November 1st, 2019

Sponsor: Affinity Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company building a strong portfolio of mineral projects in North America. The Corporation’s flagship property is the Drill ready Regal Property near Revelstoke, BC (TSX-V: AFF) Click Here for More Info

Investors can expect the rally in gold to continue as uncertainty dominates the marketplace, according to the latest forecast from the World Bank.

In a report published Tuesday, the global financial institution said that it expects gold prices to rally 5.6% in 2020, which would see prices trade around $1,600 an ounce.

“The risks to the precious metals price outlook are on the upside and reflect heightened uncertainty and weak growth prospects of the global economy,” the analysts said.

The comments come after gold prices rallied 12.6% in the third quarter as prices pushed to a six-year high, seeing best gains in three years. When the dust settles, the analysts expect prices to record a 9.5% gain for 2019.

“Prices have been supported by strong physical demand, interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and increased global policy uncertainty,” the analysts said. “Increased demand for gold has been led by central bank purchases, investor holdings in gold-backed exchange traded funds, and jewelry sales, especially in India.”

Gold is expected to outperform in the precious metals space as industrial demand weighs on other metals like silver and platinum, the report said.

Looking at silver, the World Bank said that they expect prices to rally 4.9% next year, which would push prices close to $19 an ounce. The rally comes as analyst expect the metal to rally 3.1% this year.

Precious metals will continue to outperform base metals as global growth concerns continue to weigh on copper prices, the World Bank added. The analysts expect copper prices to rally 2.3% next year after dropping 8% this year. The entire base metals complex is projected to fall 1.4% in 2020, after seeing a decline of 5.2% this year.

“Risks to this outlook are tilted to the downside, including the possibility of a sharper-than-expected global downturn and less effective policy stimulus in China,” the analysts said.

The analysts noted that gold’s stellar performance and copper’s lackluster moves have pushed the gold-copper ratio to its highest level in three years during the third quarter.

ZEN Graphene Solutions $ZEN.ca Reports Preliminary Results for Graphene Aerogel Battery Tests $LLG.ca $FMS.ca $NGC.ca $CVE.ca $DNI.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:40 AM on Friday, November 1st, 2019
  • Reporting on additional results from battery development program led by Dr. Lukas Bichler and his team at the University of British Columbia
  • Created a Graphene Aerogel composite anode material using a proprietary aerogel formulation containing doping with either ZEN’s reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) or Graphene (produced via ZEN’s licensed process
  • Results are believed to be better than those currently reported in the literature for Graphene Aerogel batteries

Thunder Bay, Ontario–(November 1, 2019) – ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (TSXV: ZEN) (“ZEN” or the “Company“) and its research partner, Deutsches Zentrum fur Luft- und Raumfahrt (“DLR“, the German Aerospace Center) are pleased to report on additional encouraging results from their battery development program led by Dr. Lukas Bichler and his team at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus (UBC-O). UBC-O has created a Graphene Aerogel composite anode material using a proprietary aerogel formulation containing doping with either ZEN’s reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) or Graphene (produced via ZEN’s licensed process announced in the company’s May 30, 2019 news release). Preliminary results indicate that relatively low loadings (<5 wt.%) of graphene-based material, combined with this proprietary aerogel structure, can result in an anode with a significant specific discharge capacity. Preliminary best results were achieved with a 2 wt.% loading of Graphene dispersed in aerogel and resulted in an initial specific discharge capacity of 2800 mAh/g and a discharge capacity of 1300 mAh/g after 50 cycles at a current capacity of 186 mA/g. These unoptimized results are believed to be better than those currently reported in the literature for Graphene Aerogel batteries. DLR and ZEN will present a poster of the battery results at the Batterieforum in Berlin, Germany in January 2020. Graphene-containing aerogels could have the potential to be a low-cost, low-weight, high-performance composite materials for near future energy storage applications.

DLR has applied for and received federal funding from the Helmholtz Association to create a new Helmholtz Innovation Lab, called ZAIT, or the Center for Aerogels in Industry and Technology, which will be working together with industrial partners on the development of Aerogels. ZEN supported this application with a letter of intent indicating the Company would continue to collaborate with DLR in developing graphene-based aerogel batteries and other graphene-based products.

“Our work with the team at DLR has led to very promising research and we look forward to continuing this research both at UBC-O and within the new Center for Aerogels in Industry and Technology (ZAIT), a Helmholtz Innovation Lab” commented ZEN CEO Dr. Francis Dubé. Also, Dr. Bichler indicated that “this partnership brings together expertise from Canada and Germany to jointly develop high-tech energy storage systems, which are currently not available on the market”.

Applied BioSciences $APPB – Transparency in the CBD Sector $CGRW $APH.ca $GBLX $PFE $ACG.ca $ACB.ca $WEED.ca $HIP.ca $WMD.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:24 PM on Thursday, October 31st, 2019

SPONSOR: Applied Biosciences Corp. is a vertically integrated company focused on the development of science-driven cannabinoid therapeutics and biopharmaceuticals, as well as state-of-the-art testing and analytics. As a leading company in the CBD, Pet and Health and Wellness space, the company is currently shipping to the majority of US states as well as to 5 International countries. Click Here for More Info

Despite the tremendous growth of CBD in the pet space, many consumers are struggling to understand when, how or even if they should give CBD to their pets. For those who have made the decision to give CBD to their pets, there’s an increasing need to learn what’s actually in the CBD products they buy, including how much CBD is really in them.

Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of solid, accurate information out there for consumers to rely upon, and not every CBD product manufacturer makes finding product information easy for consumers. Therefore, retailers who sell CBD products or find themselves advising customers about CBD need to thoroughly investigate products before providing that advice. Additionally, those who sell CBD need to be able to reassure their customers about the CBD content of the products they supply.

In a recent television news interview on KRIS-TV, the NBC affiliate in Corpus Christi, Texas, veterinarian Dr. Wallace Graham said, “There are a lot of people getting in the business because it’s a way to make a lot of money quick because people are demanding it. My advice to people that ask me about using CBD and their pets is to buy it from a source that has a third-party or FDA analysis of their product. That needs to be an ongoing kind of thing so their products are tested from time to time so that it is established that they have in them what they say.” Graham also said that although the FDA doesn’t regulate CBD products, when they’re tested by the FDA, “Many of these products, they have found that they have little or no CBD in them, actually.”

Chelsea Rivera, head of content for HonestPaws.com, agrees. “Unfortunately, there are many unscrupulous companies that are not being upfront about the contents of their products,” she said. “For that reason, it is imperative that the buyer beware. From the start, we wanted to establish ourselves as an honest, transparent company that is on the side of the buyer. It’s even in our name.”

HonestPaws.com provides consumers with COA, or Certificate of Analysis, for their products right on their website. A COA is a document from an accredited laboratory that shows the quantity of various cannabinoids in a product. HonestPaws.com provides not only product information but COA for specific batches of products that have been sent to a lab for testing. Such laboratory analysis and certification is designed to protect customers and provide proof that each of the products have the amount of CBD in them that they advertise.

When asked why it is so important to HonestPaws.com to provide this information so readily to their customers, in addition to providing their customers peace of mind, Rivera said, “We hope to be an example in the CBD space to other companies. It’s hard for other companies to deny a consumer their COA when there are companies like Honest Paws who encourage their customers to ask for it.”

Edible CBD Products Offer Consumers a New Health Trend

  • North American consumer spending on cannabis-infused foods and drinks reached USD 1.5 Billion in 2018, according to data compiled by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics,
  • By 2022, the two firms suggest that edible sales are on track to reach USD 4.1 Billion

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2019 – Consumer trends constantly require industries to adapt in order to thrive among the competition. Specifically, the food and beverage industry is one of the fastest evolving markets because of constant changes in consumer demands. Nowadays, the increasing demand for healthier and more organic options is prompting manufacturers to produce alternatives to sugar-packed drinks and fatty snacks. Instead, consumers are looking for products that are processed with healthier sustainable ingredients, proteins, vitamins, and antioxidants. Notably, many consumers have turned to the beverage industry for functional drinks such as kombucha. A functional drink is a type of beverage that typically conveys a health benefit such as being packed with performance-enhancing agents like nootropics and amino acids. Consequently, the growing demand in the functional beverage market sparked interest within the CBD market. CBD is a derivative of the hemp plant, which falls under the cannabis family.

Typically, cannabis is associated with its marijuana component, which causes psychoactive effects because of its heavy THC concentrate. However, hemp does not cause psychoactive effects because the main compound is CBD. THC and CBD are widely different in their biological makeup, but because they derive from the cannabis plant, regulators deemed both compounds to be unsafe for consumers. However, extensive research has uncovered that CBD provides therapeutic and health benefits, which then led to the rapid emergence of CBD-based products. As such, North American consumer spending on cannabis-infused foods and drinks reached USD 1.5 Billion in 2018, according to data compiled by Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics, By 2022, the two firms suggest that edible sales are on track to reach USD 4.1 Billion.

Typically, most people consume CBD to simply relax. However, clinical trials have proven that CBD can also provide medical benefits. Specifically, patients suffering from chronic ailments such as severe pain, cancer, arthritis, and epilepsy can consume CBD drinks to subdue the symptoms. And while CBD is quickly permeating throughout global regions, the North American market is the primary driver because of legality stance. Canada moved to legalize cannabis entirely back in late 2018, which prompted a spur of recreational demand. On the other hand, the U.S. passed the Farm Bill in 2018, which legalized hemp-derived CBD products. Shortly after, stores across the nation began to commercialize CBD goods.

Now, consumers can easily purchase products such as tinctures, topicals, oils, and edibles at their local convenience stores or online e-commerce platforms. However, the CBD beverage market is one of the most popular segments because consumers can easily purchase a CBD-based tincture and add droplets of CBD into their beverage. Generally, CBD can be found within beverages such as soda, juice, coffee, wine, water, and even alcohol. However, consumers can also add CBD-based powders into their beverages and some producers have even mentioned that powders are much better in terms of solubility. Overall, the cannabis-infused beverage industry is quickly gaining traction, however, some beverage producers are still evaluating the industry.

Nonetheless, a handful of corporations such as the alcohol industry, have already dove into the marketplace and are already marking their presence.  “Everyone in the industry recognizes that CBD-infused beverages are going to be one of the largest category opportunities in all of CBD,” said Ben Witte, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Recess, a company producing CBD-infused sparkling water. “As a result of that, a lot of the suppliers in the supply chain have innovated to create a format that is soluble in beverages.”

Five rehab hospitals across the country will soon be testing a digital therapeutic platform that combines music with AI and mHealth sensors to help stroke survivors with walking problems.

  • Hospitals will be testing a digital therapeutic device developed by Portland, ME-based MedRhythms, which is seeking US Food and Drug Administration approval for the service.
  • The program will study the mHealth device’s impact on walking among a group of patients who have walking impairments as a result of a stroke

By Eric Wicklund

October 29, 2019 – Five rehabilitation hospitals will be testing a telehealth platform for stroke treatment that integrates music with AI and mHealth sensors for guided therapy.

The hospitals will be testing a digital therapeutic device developed by Portland, ME-based MedRhythms, which is seeking US Food and Drug Administration approval for the service. The program will study the mHealth device’s impact on walking among a group of patients who have walking impairments as a result of a stroke.

“Right now, the MedRhythms digital therapeutic technology is a novel treatment for a subset of individuals that have few, if any, effective treatment options,” David Putrino, director of the Abilities Research Center (ARC) for the Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance at the Mount Sinai Health System, said in a press release. “The mission of the ARC is to identify and validate novel technologies that have the potential to significantly enhance the rehabilitation of people who are recovering from brain injuries and neurological conditions, including chronic stroke.”

Putrino will lead the research project at New York-based Mount Sinai. Also participating in the study are the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, the Kessler Foundation in New Jersey and Spauld ing Rehabilitation Hospital and the Boston University Neuromotor Recovery Laboratory, both in Boston.

“The digital therapeutics industry has the potential to transform rehabilitation and disrupt healthcare, and it is imperative for companies in this space to run full-scale, multisite RCTs like MedRhythms is doing,” Putrino added.

MedRhytms began as a digital therapy program launched out of Spaulding Rehab, part of the Partners HealthCare network, and has been building a portfolio of digital therapeutic treatments for treatment of neurological injury and disease, including Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. The company is also looking to apply the treatment to senior care and fall prevention programs.

The company’s first and signature product is MedRhythms Stride, a digital health platform for stroke rehabilitation that focuses on Rhythmic Auditory Simulation (RAS). mHealth sensors attached to a patient’s feet gather gait parameters, which are then analyzed by a smartphone app that pairs the patient’s gait with music.

“Rhythm is the main driver of the interventions we have,” Owen McCarthy, the company’s president and founder, told mHealthIntelligence in a 2018 interview. “And it’s the type of thing we’re going to see more and more of in healthcare.”

This past June, the company announced a partnership with Health Catalyst’s new life sciences business to make its platform available to payers and providers looking for new ways to enhance stroke rehabilitation programs.

“This partnership comes at a crucial time in the digital therapeutics industry,” Carlos Rodarte, senior vice president of strategy and business development for the life sciences at Health Catalyst, said in a press release. “Several companies in this field have completed or are completing important trials demonstrating the significant clinical impact of true, validated and regulated digital therapeutics, paving the way for an entire new industry in digital health which has disruptive potential globally to deliver rapid, efficient therapies for patients with unmet needs.”

Bitcoin And Crypto Is Heading For An Epic Social Media Showdown

By: Billy Bambrough

In one corner: Twitter’s cofounder and chief executive Jack Dorsey. In the other corner: Facebook’s cofounder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg. The fight’s prize is the future of money and their respective weapons are bitcoin and libra.

Who will win?

While the social media monetary situation is not this clear cut, both Dorsey and Zuckerberg have emerged as champions of two similar but opposing ideas; the internet needs its own currency, one sees it as centralised, through Facebook, the other sees it as decentralised, through bitcoin.

Zuckerberg appears to have lost the first round. His libra project, a cryptocurrency by name only and governed by an independent-but-shrinking group of companies, has run afoul of governments and regulators around the world, many of which were already worried Facebook wielded too much influence before the social media giant thought to take on the central bankers.

“I believe that this is something that needs to get built,” Zuckerberg told U.S. senators last week, defending Facebook’s involvement in the controversial libra project and arguing libra could bring financial maturity to millions, if not billions, of people around the world.

Zuckerberg also warned the U.S. could fall behind other countries if lawmakers moved to block the development of libra and similar digital money projects.

Dorsey will, meanwhile, be counting his blessings, with the bitcoin price staging a somewhat miraculous recovery last week after many feared it was heading to lows not seen since March.

American Creek $AMK.ca Treaty Creek Moves Closer to Eric Sprott’s Prediction of 10 to 20 Million Ounces with Latest Drill Results $TUD.ca $SII.ca $GTT.ca $AFF.ca $SEA.ca $SA $PVG.ca

  • 23 holes drilled in the last two years have intersected significant mineralization and dramatically increased the size of the Goldstorm deposit at Treaty Creek
  • Eric Sprott re-emphasized the potential of the project in last Friday’s podcast where he stated that he is “hoping they can prove up a 20-million-ounce deposit”

11:30 –“I still believe there’s going to be huge deposit proven up there. If we get the right environment in precious metals, which it looks like we might be getting here, people are going to start looking at these things again, and it could be very, very exciting, so…and I am, kind of, hoping that they can ultimately pull up, like, a 20 million ounce deposit there. So these stocks would prove to be very, very inexpensive”

SUMMARIZING THE 2019 PROGRAM

The Company’s JV partner, Tudor Gold’s 2019 exploration program at the Goldstorm Zone on Treaty Creek totalled 9,781.8 meters with 14 diamond drill holes. This year’s drilling program generated the best near-surface results attained to date on the project. Specifically, in addition to several hundred meters extension along strike to the northeast, the 2019 program significantly expanded the mineralized limits to the southeast, where one of the best near-surface intervals averaged 2 g/t Au over 87m, within 336 m averaging 1 g/t Au in hole GS19-52.

RESULTS OF THE FINAL 5 DRILL HOLES

  • Hole GS19-49 was drilled to 960.1 m, at -80° dip, on Section 111+00 NE next to the previously announced vertical hole GS19-48, which yielded 0.725 g/t Au over 838.5m, including an upper horizon that averaged 1.048 g/t gold Au over 328.5 m. Hole GS19-49 returned equally impressive results with a comparable 0.7 g/t Au over 826.5 m and the upper horizon averaging 1 g/t Au over 249 m 
  • Along the same section, hole GS19-52 (-50° dip at 115° azimuth) was drilled much longer than expected because the Goldstorm System continues at least 700 m to the southeast ; GS19-52 averaged 1 g/t gold over 336 meters with a higher grade core of 2 g/t gold over 87 meters within the upper horizon.

Tudor Gold Exploration Manager, Ken Konkin explained: “Clearly the results of the previously reported deep vertical step-out holes demonstrate the impressive size and grade consistency of the Goldstorm system. Within the overall mineralized package of fragmental intermediate volcanic rocks there are several sub-horizontal horizons of significantly higher gold grades. The uppermost portions of the previously reported holes GS19-42, GS19-47 and GS19-48 contained respectively, 1.268 g/t gold over 252 m, 0.828 g/t gold over 301.5 m and 1.048 g/t gold over 328.5 m. We now have several other drill holes with excellent near-surface gold values to add to this list of growing intercepts. GS19-52 has returned the highest core gold grades of 2.006 g/t Au over 87 m within a 336m intercept of 1.004 g/t Au.

These intercepts are part of the uppermost portion of the Goldstorm system which we refer to as the ‘300 Horizon’. The ‘300 Horizon’ remains open along strike to the northeast as well as to the southeast. In addition, the lower horizons of the Goldstorm system also remain open in all directions and the lowest horizon is open at depth.”

Furthermore, Mr. Konkin added: “We are seeing consistent silver and copper mineralization associated with the deeper gold horizons such as the previously reported 151.5 m zone of 0.572 g/t gold, 8.5 g/t silver and 0.21% copper that was intercepted from 665.0 to 816.5 m in GS19-47 and a 66.0 m zone with 0.958 g/t gold, 3.9 g/t silver and 0.35% copper, whichwas intercepted from 874.5 to 940.5 m in GS19-48. Similarly, we have now seen in GS19-49, a 78 m intercept averaging 1.145 g/t gold, 11.2 g/t silver and 0.21% copper (750-828 m) and in GS19-52 an 88.5 m interval averaging 0.352 g/t gold, 9.3 g/t silver and 0.25% copper (515-603.5 m). Not only does the Goldstorm Zone remain open at depth and along strike, we are now seeing base-metal associations possibly as part of a zonation within the hydrothermal system.”

The final three footwall extension holes (GS19-50, GS19-51 and GS19-53) were completed on section 110+00 NE. These were successful in extending the width of the mineralized zone to the southeast:

  • Hole GS19-50 returned an average of 0.602 g/t Au over 577.5 m including 0.811 g/t Au over 267.0 m in the ‘300 Horizon‘
  • Hole GS19-51 returned an average of 0.721 g/t Au over 246 m in the ‘300 Horizon’ and a lower horizon that averages 1.017 g/t Au over 40.5 m.
  • Hole GS19-53 returned an average of 0.984 g/t Au over 147.0 m in the ‘300 Horizon’
