The two companies to jointly develop a patentable industrial scale process for Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling.
Altair International Corp. (the “Company” or “Altair”) (OTC: ATAO) is pleased to provide an update on its previously announced partnership with St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) (“St-Georges”) a Canadian public company engaged in the development of new Lithium extraction technologies.
On December 1, 2020 the two companies entered into a Binding agreement that would allow Altair access to St-Georges’ patent-pending Lithium processing technology for Altair’s Nevada based Stonewall project and most importantly bring together the two companies to jointly develop a patentable industrial scale process for Electric Vehicle Lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling.
As the global Electric Vehicle (EV) market heats up over the coming decade, the demand for battery metals is expected to outpace current production. Even with increased energy density and charge cycles, Lithium based batteries for EVs, laptops, phones and other mobile devices will create cumulative waste challenges both in the environmental footprint of production and end-of-life LIB disposal.
Altair and St-Georges recognize that new optimized recycling technologies will offer valuable solutions to both a waste-management and battery metal supply. Selective, economic and responsible metal extraction of spent LIBs will be an integral part of the multi-billion dollar green economy and play a crucial part in the future of EV dominance of the automotive sector.

Fabled Silver Gold Corp. (TSXV: FCO) (FSE: 7NQ) (“Fabled” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce initial diamond drill results from the on-going 8,000-meter drill program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico, with assays from two additional holes pending.
Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President remarks, “We are quite excited with the results from our first drill hole drilled to the east of the last underground workings and the exceptional wide intersection of 68.6 meters of continuous silver in shallow oxide mineralization. Within this broad zone, 20 meters reported 0.35 g/t Au, 106.29 g/t Ag and within this 20 meters, widths grading 146 g/t Ag, 238 g/t Ag and 151 g/t Ag were intersected (See Table 1 for widths and values). Drill holes SM20-02 and SM20-03 are drilled on the same section with the target being the sulphide intercept of this broad hydrothermal breccia zone, which is typically higher in grade due to metal values not being leached out by surface ground waters as commonly seen in oxide zones. The data being obtained from this fence of drill holes will not only target adding silver ounces to the overall resource but also allow us to interpret and model the behavior of this robust mineralized system for future drill hole success.”

Fabled Silver Gold controls 100% of the Santa Maria Gold and Silver property in Mexico. It is a high grade underground mine with a rich mining history and a Silver Equivalent 43-101 with 3.2million ounces Indicated and 1.1m inferred.
Now as far as silver projects go 3.2M ounces isn’t very big but when serial mine finder and industry stalwart Peter Hawley was presented with it in 2016, he came out of retirement saying “it was almost too good to be true” and “this is the one I’ve been looking for.
Santa Maria’s best historical intercept to date, reported 11meters of 1,672 g/t Silver & 3.74 g/t gold and ending in mineralization. Moreover, a 2018 PEA is very supportive at current market prices.
Santa Maria has never been systematically, or explored thoroughly with modern methods, until now. FCO is currently conducting their first drill program to support the 43-101 and expects results to start flowing right into June.
It is definitely in a great “neighbourhood” in the mining friendly jurisdiction of Parral which has produced over 250M oz silver. Moreover, multiple major operators in the vicinity, including three toll mills within a 20 km distance.
Watch this great first of many anticipated interviews with CEO Peter Hawley.

Acquired never before published exploration data from 1957 to 1965
This effectively triples the overburden drilling data that will give Beauce unprecedented overview of the placer channel
Beauce Gold Fields (TSXV: BGF) (Champs D’Or en Beauce),(“BGF”), is pleased to announce that it has acquired, from a Private Collector, a trove of never before published exploration data by the Beauce Placer Mining company that operated from 1957 to 1965 on the company’s Beauce Gold property located in Saint-Simon-les-Mines, Quebec.
Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields said, “This effectively triples the overburden drilling data that will give us an unprecedented overview of the placer channel.” Mr. Levasseur added: “The data will have a profound impact in orientating our future rock drilling program to uncover the source of the gold placers.”
Active from 1957 to 1965, the Beauce Placer Company was the largest placer gold mining operation in eastern North America. Yet, there was very little documentation available of the work completed during that period. Historical reports found on the Government of Quebec’s geology and mining data registry are but brief summaries and observations. Missing were drill hole logs and subsequent results, geophysics data, field surveys, compilation maps and for that matter, all aspects pertaining to the dredge mining operation itself. These have now been found.
According to the Collector, the documents originated from a field office the Beauce Placer Mining Company occupied in Beauceville, Quebec. The office was abandoned in the 1970s leaving behind filing cabinets full of documents. The documents were given to the Collector, a businessman from St-Simon-les-Mine. Being an avid antiques collector, he recognized the importance of preserving historical documentation pertaining to his town’s heritage.
Document Highlights
– Total 344 drill logs from 7-inch wide overburden drill holes down to bedrock:
Gilbert River (St-Simon-les-Mine) – 252 holes
Famine River – 40 holes
Chaudière River – 36 holes
Riviere Du Loup – 12 holes
Ruisseau Des Meule – 4 holes
– Geophysics – Claims and property agreements – Land surveys – Documentation regarding the operation of the dragline and the Yuba dredge – Daily back office operation – Gold receipts from the mint

Entrepreneur Sheldon Inwentash is the founder and President of Toronto’s ThreeD Capital, a venture capital firm focused on investments in companies operating in junior resources, blockchain, artificial intelligence, psychedelics, electric vehicles and other sectors.
For Sheldon, a career that began in the life insurance industry as an oil and gas analyst quickly evolved into one that would include the creation of five companies and nine CEO roles, including a 20-year stay as the founder of Pinetree Capital.
In addition to providing companies with investment strategies, Sheldon provides counsel and guidance to C-suite executives. He has financed hundreds of public and private start-up companies, many of which went on to have successful exits.
We recently spoke with Sheldon about the digitization shock happening in Canada and his experience with investing in new technology.
During COVID, all you have to do is turn on the news to learn about the various digital strategies that companies have had to implement. Do you think digitization will continue to impact the way businesses operate, even after the pandemic is over?
Sheldon Inwentash: Yes. COVID definitely accelerated digitization, but I believe that whether there was a pandemic or not, we were going to see it happen. Even after COVID is over, people will be more embedded in working remotely and going through the digital mechanics. Whether it’s through a ZOOM call or shifting your business to eCommerce, my feeling is that we are in the midst of a digital acceleration, and this way of life will be with us indefinitely.
The stock market is at an all time high and junior cap stocks are on a tear. How do you think the digital revolution influenced this?
Sheldon Inwentash: There are a lot of digital technology stocks that are on the rise. There are also a lot of companies that, because of people having to purchase items online, have seen a sharp increase in stocks. I think the market is also discounting a pent-up demand on many fronts. Whether it’s the anticipation of airline stocks, oil and gas stocks, the green revolution – I think it’s a great time to be an investor because there are so many different verticals that are exciting and interesting to invest in. Frankly, I see this continuing over the long term.
ThreeD Capital invests in a range of industries, including blockchain technology, electric vehicles and AI. What about the future of technology piques your interest when it comes to making investment decisions?
Sheldon Inwentash: We have a number of disruptive technologies in our portfolio. These are technologies that change the way we do things or are different from what we’ve done before. They’re more efficient to use. Technology is an integral part of our investment philosophy and we are actively looking on a weekly basis at new emerging technology companies that we think have a chance for exponential growth.
A tech entrepreneur comes to you asking for capital. What do you expect from them in terms of a pitch?
Sheldon Inwentash: I want to hear a clear, concise message. From there, obviously, there’s depth of technology and infrastructure. Time is your enemy in this business. Even before we listen to a pitch, we prefer to get a PowerPoint presentation in advance because then we are able to determine whether or not it’s something that interests us. In some cases, even the PowerPoint isn’t so clear, but we may still be interested. In that case, we expect the founder to be able to communicate in a very succinct and fast matter or otherwise it tends to lose our focus.
What, in terms of venture capital, can investors do to help make Toronto the next Silicon Valley?
Sheldon Inwentash: I think Toronto is underrated in the amount of tech that I see evolving in the city. Anytime you have a number of universities and teaching and research centers within an hour outside of Toronto, which we do, those are the places that spawn all the R&D. Those are the places that come up with great new things.
People are leaving Silicon Valley. There are Silicon Valley’s in every city now because of the digital revolution. Anyone can work, from anywhere, whenever they want now. There’s really no barrier to entry.
In the blockchain space, Toronto is a global leader, but it’s not understood that that’s the case. The only thing that’s missing is capital, but there’s a lot of that in Toronto, as well, so there are opportunities everywhere. Arguably, Toronto doesn’t have to be a Silicon Valley of the north, but it does have its fair share of companies that are spawned here.

Staked a portfolio of prospective placer to hard rock gold anomalies throughout southern Quebec
The Mégantic property extends for at least 30 km along the axis of the Bella Fault.
Beauce Gold Fields (Champs D’Or en Beauce) (TSXV: BGF),(“BGF”), is pleased to announce that it has acquired through map staking, a portfolio of prospective placer to hard rock gold anomalies throughout southern Quebec. The Beauce, the Megantic and Quebec’s Eastern Townships are considered to be the most suitable regions for the discovery of gold deposits near or under former gold placers.
Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields said, “Just as major gold companies have found new value in storied placer gold districts of BC’s Cariboo and the Kondike in Yukon, we see untapped potential in Quebec’s placer gold properties.” Mr. Levasseur added: “For example, the Megantic property holds a similar geological model to the company’s flagship Saint-Simon-les-Mines Beauce Gold property whereby a major geological fault line follows along strike historical placer gold deposits.”
The Mégantic property is limited to the southwest by the American border of New Hampshire and to the northeast by Lac Mégantic. The property extends for at least 30 km along the axis of the Bella Fault. It is divided into four areas: the Ditton, the Mining Brook, the Chesham and Bergeron rivers.
The Mégantic property is located at the foot of the granite intrusion of Mont Mégantic. It partly occupies the Compton Formation composed of graphitic and pelitic metasedimentary rocks of Siluro-Devonian age. These sedimentary rocks are in discordant contact in the center of the terrain with the volcanic facies (basalts, andesites and dacites) of the Siluro-Devonian Formation of the Frontenac Formation. The Bella fault, which is the major structural element of the Mégantic property, is in contact between the Compton and Frontenac Formations. Observations at Mount Saddle suggest several intrusive phases that would be favourable to the establishment of gold mineralization.

Mechanized excavations of the overburden exposed the bedrock before it plunges deeper into the historical placer gold channel.
Geological mapping and structural study to the east and west of Rang St-Gustave road will provide requisite data to optimize the drill program
Montreal, Quebec–(Newsfile Corp. – January 6, 2021) – Beauce Gold Fields(Champs D’Or en Beauce) (TSXV: BGF) (“BGF”), is pleased to announce that it has completed its trenching and rock outcrop exploration program in the Rang St-Gustave sector of the gold property located in St-Simon-Les-Mines in the Beauce region of southern Quebec.
Patrick Levasseur, President and CEO of Beauce Gold Fields said, “The Rang St-Gustave area was the site of the only major placer mining and dredging operation in eastern North America. In this same sector, the company discovered a major geological fault which could explain, in part, the gold bearing structures.” Mr. Levasseur added: “The data provided by the survey and sampling of the trenches will better guide our future rock drilling program to uncover the source of the gold placers.”
