  • lithium bearing pegmatites were discovered on its property that is adjacent to Nemaska Lithium Inc.’s (TSX-NMX) Whabouchi Project
  • Anomalous lithium assays were grabbed from surface exposed pegmatites outcrops identified by high definition satellite imagery

Vancouver, BC / September 20, 2016 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO), (the “Company” or “Durango”) reports that further to its news release of September 13, 2016, lithium bearing pegmatites were discovered on its property that is adjacent to Nemaska Lithium Inc.’s (TSX-NMX) Whabouchi Project.

Durango’s anomalous lithium assays were grabbed from surface exposed pegmatites outcrops identified by high definition satellite imagery. No trenching or blasting was completed on the first phase reconnaissance program which took place in August 2016, as the scope of the program was limited to identifying pegmatites and sampling for lithium values.

Durango has discovered anomalous lithium bearing pegmatites sampled by a simple grab sample. From all the pegmatites discovered and sampled, 25 returned anomalous lithium values ranging from 50 to 320 ppm or 0.032%Li.

Exploration on Nemaksa Lithium’s claims has been ongoing since 1962 and has been worked on by various companies over the years. Nemaska Lithium is the eighth company to work the block of claims and began their work in 2009 by property visits and grab sampling. According to the Nemaska Lithium’s 43-101 report, Canico completed the first work in the area in 1962-63 and drilled 5 holes with the best result being 1.44% Li2O over 83.2m. Forty years later (2002), Inco tested the same pegmatite while exploring for Tantalum with results up to 0.026% Ta over 1 m in a channel sample. The lithium results returned by Inco ranged from 0.14%Li to 1.73% Li over a 1 m channel on the same spodumene-bearing pegmatite.*

Durango’s pegmatites with the lithium results can be easily accessed to trench and blast, or possibly commence drilling, to determine the extent of the pegmatites and to obtain fresh rock samples (not exposed to weathering and erosion) to determine Li content. Cesium levels ranged up to 80.9ppm, tantalum levels up to 77.1ppm and rubidium up to 2140 ppm which is typical of LCT (lithium, cesium tantalum) pegmatites. Pegmatites exploited for lithium are usually of the LCT type.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango comments: “Durango is highly encouraged by the geological discovery of the lithium-bearing pegmatites so proximal to the Whabouchi project. This discovery has greatly increased our odds of hosting a LCT (Lithium, Cesium, Tantalum) type deposit adjacent to Nemaska Lithium Inc. As such, Durango has asked Donald Theberge to prepare a report with phase two exploration program recommendations which will be announced as soon as it is available.”

The technical contents of this release were approved by Mr. Donald Theberge, PEng., MBA, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not been subject of a National Instrument 43-101 report.

Nevada Energy Metals Inc. Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project Update $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:22 AM on Tuesday, September 20th, 2016

Bff_hub-2_copy

  • American Lithium Corp (TSX-V: LI), the Optionee of the Company’s Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project advised the Company that the BLM has approved a Notice of Intent describing proposed locations for up to 6 sonic drill holes on the property.

September 20, 2016 / Vancouver, British Columbia- Nevada Energy Metals Inc. “the Company”, TSX-V: BFF (OTCQB: SSMLF) (Frankfurt: A2AFBV) is pleased to report that American Lithium Corp (TSX-V: LI), the Optionee of the Company’s Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project “the Project”, has advised the Company that the BLM has approved a Notice of Intent describing proposed locations for up to 6 sonic drill holes on the property. Sonic drilling is capable of reaching a depth of 500 feet and is used for determining the characteristics and orientation of subsurface playa sediments. The ultimate goal of this program is to confirm the presence of a fine grained green sand and silt logged as volcanic ash in previous drilling on the property. This horizon is thought to be correlative to the Main Ash Aquifer on the adjacent Albermare/Rockwood lithium producing property. (ref. Geology and Conceptual Modeling of the Silver Peak Geothermal Prospect, Esmeralda County, Nevada; Jeffrey B. Hulen, PG, 2008)

American Lithium Corp. holds the right to acquire up to a 70% interest in and to the Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project by making staged cash payments in the amount of USD$275,000, issuing 1,200,000 million common shares of American Lithium Corp in three tranches and incurring USD$1,000,000 in exploration expenses on or before the third anniversary date of the agreement.

Rick Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Nevada Energy Metals, commented: “We are delighted to have American Lithium Corp. as our partner with which to advance the Clayton Valley BFF-1 property. The Project covers an area similar to the structural and geologic settings at Albemarle’s Silver Peak lithium-brine operation, the border of which, lies only two hundred meters to the south east. We look forward to an exciting exploration program in the months ahead.”

About the Clayton Valley Project:

The Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project is an early-stage lithium brine prospect in Esmeralda County, Nevada. A total of 77 placer claims encompassing an area of approximately 623 ha (1,540 acres) on the north-western side of the original Clayton Valley playa. The property position covers an inferred graben bounded by the Silver Peak Range front on the west and by an outlier of Paleozoic rocks known as Goat Island on the east. The exploration concept is that the graben is a sub-basin of the larger Clayton Valley basin and may represent a secondary trap for lithium brines within the greater system.

The Clayton Valley BFF-1 NI 43-101 Technical Report by Alan Morris, CPG, QP, states ” The property has strong potential to host lithium brine deposits in favorable geologic horizons within the basin fill. Another possible target is lithium enriched clay within the fill package and potentially in previous high stands of the playa.” (April, 2016)

Geologic and geophysical mapping conducted for geothermal exploration and documented by Hulen (2008) indicates previously unrecognized, deep graben lying between the Silver Peak range front and outcrops of Paleozoic rocks at Goat Island and Alcatraz Island. This area was their target zone for a deep circulating geothermal system they hoped to exploit for geothermal power. This graben is the main target for lithium brine as it may represent a separate sub-basin in Clayton Valley that holds brines not subject to pumping by production wells on the east side of the main valley. Exposed mineralization is confined to salt crust on the playa surface and other locations in the valley.

Western Geothermal Partners drilled a 120 meter (400 foot) geothermal gradient test well in 2006 on what is now the Clayton Valley BFF-1 Project. Bottom hole temperature was 50C (122F) which showed moderate potential for geothermal power. Of significance, the well encountered a 25-foot-thick zone of volcanic ash reportedly similar to the Main Ash Aquifer in the Clayton Valley lithium operation. The presence of any felsic ash in this hole is significant in light of that, it is the presumed source for at least some of the lithium in the brines (Price et al, 2000).

A millennial view of the gaming industry $GMBL

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:09 PM on Monday, September 19th, 2016

 

  • eSports may be the thing to bring millennials back to the casinos.
  • Industry, both operators and regulators, need to take hold of the new opportunities – skill gaming, sports, social games and eSports – and present them in novel ways in order to survive
eSports may be the thing to bring millennials back to the casinos.

It seems that every year before the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), as the gaming industry spends some time self-reflecting, executives and marketing professionals focus on developing strategies to attract the ever-elusive “millennial.” As a member of that confusing young generation, and as someone who has spent over a decade in the industry, I wanted to offer a few thoughts as everyone heads to Las Vegas this year.

The gaming industry is at a dramatic turning point. From a legal and regulatory perspective, the country has never been more open to legalized gambling, as reflected in the increasing number of jurisdictions that have authorized casino gaming in the past decade. Daily fantasy sports are finding a regulated path in light of initial legal challenges. New Jersey is tirelessly and ceaselessly — though not necessarily successfully — thumbing its nose at federal bans on sports wagering, causing many former skeptics to at least consider the idea of legalized sports gaming. Legislatures across the country considering gaming expansion opportunities are increasingly concerned about that once-unthinkable phenomenon — “market saturation.

“So where has the demand gone? I’ll spare you the well-worn statistics about how millennials now outnumber baby boomers and are the nation’s largest generational group. And, as you are well aware, we aren’t necessarily thrilled about traditional casino gaming.At industry panels and discussions — often solely featuring older generations — there has been plenty of talk about opening up the casino floor, placing “lounge” areas throughout a property, incorporating more nongaming amenities throughout the gaming space, and other cosmetic changes to better draw in younger crowds. I’ve seen many an executive wring his hands over the fact that young men and women will gladly drop hundreds on bottle service but won’t sit down at those fancy new “Big Bang Theory” slot machines designed to attract them.

“New colors, sounds and themes aimed at the customer’s existing preferences have always worked! What’s wrong with kids these days?”

I am not a marketing expert, and I am certainly not claiming to speak for everyone in my increasingly diverse generation, but the industry seems to miss some key points in its attempts to adapt to a new demographic.

After spending considerable time thinking about why casinos seem unappealing, I think all of the issues boil down to this:

We simply don’t have the economic security to take blind risks with our leisure time.

First, and most obviously, we are under a level of financial stress and uncertainty unfamiliar to many except those who lived through the Great Depression. After being encouraged by well-meaning parents to take out exorbitant student loans so that we could “find a good job,” we enter the real world with few employment prospects and massive, non-dischargeable debt. Not only do we not have a large budget to put down at the tables, but we have delayed major life decisions (marriage, home ownership, etc.) because of unemployment, underemployment or lack of faith that our existing position won’t be cut tomorrow. Studies have shown a lack of trust in established brands, corporations and other major economic players as we have seen quality sacrificed for growth. In essence, although we have great optimism in ourselves and our social group, we have a deep-seated skepticism of large institutions, as we have seen our parents, friends and personal prospects largely left behind.

It is much easier to spend a set amount of our money on a night of booze and dancing, where we can truly escape ourselves for a few hours, than to watch our chips slowly transfer across the table just like our meager salaries are transferred back to student loan collectors. Sure, it’s possible to walk away a winner, but we all know the odds are more likely that we walk away with just a story of the grumpy old-timer who got angry that we “took his card” through non-optimal blackjack strategy.

But table games are not the true threat to gaming’s continued growth. At least millennials will consider a few games of blackjack, poker or craps. Slots, the bedrock of gaming revenue for decades, simply have no appeal to younger generations. Here, we have absolutely no say in the outcome, no way to try to grow our initial gaming investment beyond the press of a button. And we have vastly more interactive and exciting gameplay opportunities on our phones, many of them free. We are also, as is well documented, a social generation, for whom the idea of engaging with a single, personal screen with no contact with others is unappealing. The small prospect of winning, let alone the infinitesimal prospect of winning a jackpot, isn’t appealing as entertainment in and of itself.

Despite all this, I am still hopeful that the industry will adapt to new entertainment options. I can’t place the blame on casino operators, as laws and regulations strictly dictate the products they can offer in a way unseen in the rest of the corporate world. Thankfully, through the efforts of AGEM, the AGA and their state-level partners, skill-based gaming has been authorized and may offer an opportunity to truly revolutionize the industry. These games may allow the industry to address the concerns noted above, letting younger players have greater control over the outcome of the game, create a more social atmosphere, and bring gaming technology into line with the most current video and mobile games. This type of regulatory reinvention is necessary to drive gaming entertainment into the current leisure activity options for younger demographics.

Sports wagering offers a much more interactive opportunity and control over our betting — so much so that daily fantasy operators have tried to argue that their games are purely skill-based. Here, we can also engage with some of the few major brands that have appeal: professional and college sports teams and athletes. eSports is an entirely new opportunity that has an incredibly dedicated and engaged fan base that is entirely dependent on the video games and technologies that millennials grew up enjoying. There is already a massive gray market where gaming fans wager in-game skins and other virtual items on matches between professional Counter Strike, DOTA and League of Legends events. Many would more than happily throw down cash at the opportunity to play a similar type of game in a casino atmosphere against a few other competitors for a prize.

There is a change coming, and it will need to be dramatic for modern casinos to compete with other entertainment options. This goes well beyond moving a few chairs around the gaming floor, pumping in loud music or changing the themes of slot machines. The industry, both operators and regulators, need to take hold of the new opportunities – skill gaming, sports, social games and eSports – and present them in novel ways in order to survive.

PyroGenesis retains a royalty-free, exclusive, irrevocable worldwide license to use the process for purposes other than the production of silicon metal from quartz.
  2. 2.Placed an order for the purchase a 200 metric ton/year PUREVAP(TM) QRR pilot system to produce solar grade silicon metal from HPQ Silicon quartz.

The PUREVAP(TM) QRR process’s disruptive advantage is its one step direct transformation of Quartz into High Purity Silicon Metal Solar Grade Silicon Metal and/or Higher Purity product, thereby potentially allowing HPQ Silicon to manufacture high value material for the same operating cost presently being paid by traditional producers to make Metallurgical Grade Si (98.5% Si) using the traditional arc furnace approach.

The science behind the PUREVAP(TM) QVR is well demonstrated:

    • -Plasma arc based process can transform High Purity Quartz into MG Si.-Plasma arc based process can be used to purify MG Si into higher value SG Si.

      -Refining MG Si to SG Si using an electron-beam furnace in vacuum-processing environment has proven the concept of the elimination of impurities.

What is unique and ground breaking is the combination of these three proven processes into one step.

A Green And Clean Company

HPQ Silicon, with its PUREVAP(TM) QRR will also be implementing a process to make Sg Si, which is estimated to generate 14.1 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si, versus the 54.0 kg CO2 eq/Kg SG Si of emissions generated by the Siemens process (90% of the present production process). This represents 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which is justified by elimination of the emissions emanating from the use of chemicals, as well as, energy consumption from the additional purification step.

High Purity Quartz Properties

HPQ Silicon is also the largest holder of High Purity Quartz properties in Quebec, with over 3,500 Ha under claims. Despite the abundance of quartz, very few deposits are suitable for high purity applications. High Purity Quartz supplies are tightening, prices are rising, and exponential growth is forecast. Quartz from the Roncevaux property successfully passed rigorous testing protocols of a major silicon metal producer confirming that our material is highly suited for their silicon metal production.

American Creek Options the Ample Goldmax Gold Property $AMK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:50 PM on Thursday, September 15th, 2016

Hublogolarge2_copy

  • Entered into an option agreement with an arm’s length third party to acquire the Ample Goldmax gold property located in southern British Columbia, Canada
  • Ample Goldmax property package spans 1,044 hectares and is located approximately 8 km west of Lillooet along and adjacent to Highway 99 South along Cayoosh Creek
  • Property has a long but intermittent history of gold prospecting dating back to 1866 when coarse free gold was discovered in the lower reaches

CARDSTON, ALBERTA–(Sept. 15, 2016) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AMK) (“American Creek” or “the Corporation”) is pleased to report that it has entered into an option agreement with an arm’s length third party to acquire the Ample Goldmax gold property located in southern British Columbia, Canada.

The Ample Goldmax property package spans 1,044 hectares and is located approximately 8 km west of Lillooet along and adjacent to Highway 99 South along Cayoosh Creek. The property has a long but intermittent history of gold prospecting dating back to 1866 when coarse free gold was discovered in the lower reaches of Cayoosh Creek. Prospecting naturally led upstream and in 1887 the first lode gold in bedrock was found. In 1897 the Golden Cache (Ample) mine started small scale gold production which continued until 1901.

Past historical work on the property by Homestake included the mapping of eight underground workings and also the identification of at least 10 known mineralized zones over a strike length of 3 km primarily hosting native gold with or without sulphides in mesothermal quartz vein stockworks, gold and various amounts of silver in sulphide zones, and areas with lower grade bulk tonnage disseminated type gold. Homestake conducted a small diamond drill program in 1996 and reported several intersections of gold at shallow depth including 11.76 g/t over 8.2 meters which included 1.2 meters of 66.84 g/t gold (containing visible gold) and another intersection of 21 meters of 2.75 g/t gold (December 16, 1996 Aris Report 24742.

A report prepared for Homestake by Kuran and McLeod (1997) reports that grab samples from the mine area returned up to 118 g/t gold with surface chip samples up to 6.9 g/t gold over 3 meters.

The property is being acquired through a four year option agreement with terms/payments as follows:

Year one:
$7,000 cash within 5 business days of TSX-V approval.
100,000 American Creek common shares within 10 days of TSX-V approval.
A minimum of $15,000 of exploration work conducted on the property prior to the one year anniversary of the agreement.

Year two:
$10,000 cash
200,000 common shares
$25,000 work commitment

Year three:
$15,000 cash
250,000 common shares
$75,000 work commitment

Year four:
$30,000 cash
300,000 common shares
$100,000 work commitment

The vendor will retain a 25% bulk sample royalty on any net profits American Creek receives from the extraction of a bulk sample as well as a 3% NSR which can be fully bought out anytime for $500,000 per each 1%.

All cash payments, share payments and work commitment amounts may be accelerated at American Creek’s choosing.

All shares issued under this option agreement will be subject to a statutory 4 month hold period.

This agreement is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Darren Blaney, American Creek President & CEO stated: “We have been wanting to acquire the Ample Goldmax property package for quite some time and after almost a year of negotiating, which included the amalgamation of four separate Cayoosh Creek properties, have finally put a deal together. This is a strong addition to the Corporation’s gold and silver property portfolio.”

About American Creek

A diamond drilling and trenching program is currently being conducted by Tudor on the property.

Gold Hill property – American Creek holds a 100% interest in the Gold Hill property located east of Fort Steele, BC in the Boulder Creek watershed. The Wildhorse River, to which Boulder Creek is a headwater tributary, is the site of one of Canada’s biggest historic gold rushes with approximately 42 tonnes of placer gold reportedly being recovered from the Wildhorse below the confluence of Boulder Creek. A field mapping and sampling program is currently being conducted on the property.

Austruck-Bonanza property – American Creek holds a 100% interest in the Austruck-Bonanza property located approximately 50 km north of Kamloops, BC.

In July of 2016, WestKam reportedly began a 10,000 tonne bulk sample program to further test near-surface high grade gold veins. American Creek is watching the WestKam Bonaparte program closely and is in the process of planning further exploration on the property.

Silvershot property – American Creek holds a 100% interest in the Silvershot property also located in BC’s “Golden Triangle” approximately 7 km northeast of Stewart. The property is near the past producing Portland Canal mine and also the historic Dunwell gold/silver mine.

D1-McBride property – American Creek holds a 100% interest in the D1-McBride property located 64 km southeast of Dease Lake, BC. The property hosts the Discovery showing with high grade gold, silver, lead and zinc.

Namaste Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire URT1 Limited and Forms World’s Largest E-Commerce B2C Vaporizer Company $N.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:18 PM on Thursday, September 15th, 2016

Namastelarge_copy

  • Definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with URT1 Limited
  • Creating the world’s largest e-commerce company focused on sales of vaporizers and accessories
  • Unaudited 12 month trailing revenues were approximately C$3.2 million for the period ended August 31, 2016
  • Gross profit margin of 53%.
  • In business since 2000
  • Acquisition positions Namaste as the LARGEST business to consumer e-commerce retailer of vaporizers and accessories globally
  • Combined proforma unaudited 12 month trailing revenues of approximately C$10 million for the period ended August 31, 2016, total monthly site traffic of over 550,000 visitors

Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N)(FRANKFURT:M5BQ) reports that it has entered into a Definitive Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with URT1 Limited and its wholly owned US subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “URT1”) to create the world’s largest e-commerce company focused on sales of vaporizers and accessories. This most recent acquisition, in combination with the acquisition of VaporSeller, reiterates Namaste’s strategic position as the leading consolidator of the industry.

URT1 is one of the top 5 domains in the world for the sale of vaporizers, pipes and accessories. The company operates two websites, www.everyonedoesit.com and www.everyonedoesit.co.uk, and retails through select third-party marketplaces. Unaudited 12 month trailing revenues were approximately C$3.2 million for the period ended August 31, 2016 with a gross profit margin of 53%. URT1 has been in business since 2000.

Strategic Rationale

The strategic rationale for the transaction includes:

  • The acquisition positions Namaste as the largest business to consumer e-commerce retailer of vaporizers and accessories globally, with combined proforma unaudited 12 month trailing revenues of approximately C$10 million for the period ended August 31, 2016, total monthly site traffic of over 550,000 visitors. The combined company will operate 26 websites in 20 countries with distribution centers in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
  • The combined company will have over 3,000 products for sale; the largest product offering of any company in the industry. The complementary product offerings of both companies creates significant revenue expansion potential through cross selling across all sites. In addition, Namaste will utilize its proven search engine optimization strategies to enhance site traffic, conversions and average selling prices of URT1. URT1 currently converts its traffic at 0.8% in the US compared to Namaste at 2.2%. Improving URT1’s conversion rate to 1.6% would double the revenue of the site, which currently generates 75% of URT1’s revenues.
  • The higher gross margins of URT1 are beneficial to the gross margins of the combined entity. The opportunity to further improve the gross margin will result from increased buying power with the existing vendor base and focus on private label sales. The combined entity will generate a gross profit margin of over 40%.
  • Further profit contribution is expected from the reduction in overhead costs, which will enhance earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization. This is due to a shared technology and e-commerce platform, lean centralised management team, and outsourcing of staff functions to India. The resulting increased cash flow generation creates a financial platform for further industry consolidation.
  • Following from the acquisitions of VaporSeller and URT1, revenues for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2017 are expected to be C$15.7 million and C$24.9 million for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2018. It is expected that the company will generate positive earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization by December 31, 2016. It is anticipated that Namaste’s revenues will increase in line with projected growth for the industry of 35% per year for the period 2014 – 2020 (Source: Wells Fargo Research).
  • The transaction broadens the management and board profile of the Company with the addition of experienced executives with extensive global industry expertise. Namaste will benefit from decades of financial, accounting, and administrative experience, and deep relationships with product vendors that URT1 has cultivated since 2000.

Terms of the Transaction and Conditions to Closing

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Namaste will acquire all the website domains, the customer list of over 40,000 individuals, the vendor list of over 197 vendors, intellectual property and related technologies, in exchange for common shares of Namaste. The purchase price will be calculated as one-times the 12-month trailing gross revenue of URT1, subject to adjustments for inventory, wind down costs, and assumed liabilities including a secured note of approximately C$500,000 to be transferred at closing of the transaction. The purchase price will be funded by issuing Namaste common shares at a deemed value of C$0.12.

Closing of the transaction is subject to the following:

  • Receipt of all director and requisite regulatory approvals relating to the transaction, including without limitation, CSE approval if required;
  • Completion of all financial and legal due diligence; and
  • Completion of a minimum capital raise of C$1,500,000 on satisfactory terms to both parties.
