  • Announced that Chris Gayle, Cricketer from the Indian Premier League (IPL), has joined betterU’s Brand Ambassador program
  • Brand Ambassador program is the company’s effort to continue to grow awareness and draw attention to the importance and personal value of skills development through betterU’s global education marketplace

OTTAWA, May 30, 2017 — betterU Education Corp. (the “Company” or “betterU”), (TSXV:BTRU), (FRANKFURT:5OGA) is pleased to announce that Chris Gayle, Cricketer from the Indian Premier League (IPL), has joined betterU’s Brand Ambassador program in the company’s effort to continue to grow awareness and draw attention to the importance and personal value of skills development through betterU’s global education marketplace.

betterU’s vision is to provide all individuals across the country with the opportunities to learn and grow. This bold initiative is in line with Prime Minister Modi’s mandate to skill up 500 million people by 2022. To achieve such levels of mass education, betterU understands that there is a need for a collective collaboration between global educators, industry leaders, and government as well as influential individuals such as Chris Gayle. This also aligns with the recent addition of Satnam Singh, the first NBA player to ever get drafted from India, who joined betterU back in late 2016. Part of betterU’s ongoing strategy is to continue to create awareness to the value of life-time learning and the ongoing need for personal advancement of one’s skills.

Mr. Gayle and the CEO of betterU both came from backgrounds in which they struggled with access to quality education. Yet even through these limiting moments, their dedication, persistence and a passion to become more, resulted in both growing to become leaders in their respective fields. “When Chris and I met in Bangalore many months back, I realized the value he could bring to betterU because of his appreciation and understanding towards the value of education along with his love of India, made us immediate partners. Everyone has the right to education, but the realities are that not everyone has access to it, whether that be due to their physical location, affordability, connection to technology, or fear of the unknown. I am excited to welcome Chris to the betterU family, and for helping support betterU and India! I am also looking forward to building a life-time friendship,” said Brad Loiselle, President and CEO, betterU Education Corp.

betterU and Mr. Gayle will be working on collaborative opportunities to promote the company’s content partners’ through betterU’s overall vision to support India. “I am excited to be working with Brad and betterU in the supporting of this great initiative. I have so many fans across the country that have supported me for so many years and I feel passionate about continuing to support them outside of Cricket. I love India, I love the people and I want to be part of making a global difference through opening education to all!” said Chris Gayle, IPL Cricket player.

About Chris Gayle

Christopher “Chris” Gayle is a Jamaican cricketer and a former captain, who plays international cricket for the West Indies. Gayle captained the West Indies’ Test side from 2007 to 2010. Considered one of the greatest batsmen in limited-overs cricket, Gayle has set and tumbled numerous records across all three formats of cricket. He is known as a hard-big hitter, very often hitting sixes; in 2012, he became the first player to hit a six off the first ball of a Test match.

He is one of only four players who have scored two triple centuries at Test level: 317 against South Africa in 2005, and 333 against Sri Lanka in 2010. Gayle became the first batsman in World Cup history to score a double century when he reached 200 off 138 balls against Zimbabwe during the 2015 World Cup. He finished on 215 runs, which was the record for highest score in a World Cup until it was broken by Martin Guptill against Gayle’s own team. He is one of the five players to score a double century in ODIs. In March 2016, Gayle became only the second player (after Brendon McCullum) to hit two Twenty20 International hundreds, scoring 100 not out against England.

He plays domestic cricket for Jamaica, and represents the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, the Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League, the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League and the Dhaka Gladiators in the Bangladesh Premier League. He has also represented Worcestershire, the Western Warriors, Sydney Thunder, Barisal Burners, Kolkata Knight Riders and Somerset in his career. He was also selected for team Uva Next for the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League in 2012. – Source: Wikipedia

GGX Gold Corp Provides Update on 2017 Exploration Program on the Gold Drop Property $GGX.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:56 AM on Tuesday, May 30th, 2017

Ggx large

  • Announced an update for the 2017 exploration program at its high grade Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood in southern British Columbia
  • Focus of the current work is to locate and sample reported veins and document historic workings
  • Exploration program will focus on 6 priority areas, covering areas of gold and silver bearing veins

Vancouver, British Columbia – GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce an update for the 2017 exploration program at its high grade Gold Drop property, located near Greenwood in southern British Columbia. The Company has also expanded the Gold Drop property to the west by staking of additional mineral claims. The property now covers an area of approximately 4200 hectares. The property covers geologically prospective ground in the well-mineralized Greenwood Mining Division. The property hosts numerous low-sulfide, gold and silver bearing quartz veins or vein systems, four of which were previously mined. The focus of the current work is to locate and sample reported veins and document historic workings.

The 2017 exploration program will focus on 6 priority areas, covering areas of gold and silver bearing veins (B.C. MINFILE occurrences and other veins reported in historic B.C. assessment reports). These priority areas are the Gold Drop – North Star vein system, Ken vein and Silent Friend veins in the eastern region; Amandy vein and Roderick Dhu vein in the northwest region; and Tel – C.O.D. veins in the southwest region (Southwest Zone). An area of high grade gold and silver mineralization discovered in 2015 at a trench at the North Star vein is high priority target for the Company. Grab samples from this trench returned 159 g/t Au (grams per tonne) and 744 g/t Ag, 12.2 g/t Au and 78 g/t Ag; and 12.5 g/t Au and 100 g/t Ag.

Phase I of the 2017 work program on the Gold Drop property is currently underway with initial focus on the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Gold and silver bearing quartz veins are reported in this region of the property. One reported quartz vein in this region is referred to as the C.O.D. The northeast-southwest striking C.O.D. vein is reported to be traced by a series of shafts and pits for a distance of 1500 metres and reported to have a maximum width of 1.5 metres at surface. The Company has located historic workings during May in the area of this reported vein, including shafts and trenches. One located shaft is the C.O.D shaft which is reported to be approximately 20 metres deep. A 1988 quartz vein grab sample from a trench in this region southwest of the C.O.D. shaft was reported to return 20.8 g/t Au and 115.6 g/t Ag (Tel 2 gold and silver occurrence)

The Company has located and sampled new exposures of a vein interpreted by Company management to be the C.O.D. vein. New showings of this vein have been exposed by recent logging activity in the area. Several of these exposures were sampled during May. These have been further exposed in May by excavator pitting and hand trenching

Historic shaft in southwest region of Gold Drop Property

Banded chalcedonic quartz has been reported in a historic trench southwest of the C.O.D shaft. This material is of possible epithermal origin. A historic sample was reported to return s of 0.608 oz./ton Au (20.8 grams / tonne) and 3.38 oz./ton Ag (115.8 grams / tonne). These historic trenches were located in May but have filled in over time. The Company has identified the area of the C.O.D. vein and the reported chalcedonic quartz as a trenching target.

Other discoveries during May include an exposure described by Company personnel as a chalcedonic vein breccia. This exposure is located further northeast of the C.O.D. shaft.  Due to the steepness of the area the vein has been hand trenched and chip sampled.

Durango Initiates Geophysical Exploration on Decouverte (Discovery), QC $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:29 AM on Tuesday, May 30th, 2017

Logo

  • Planning further exploration for the Decouverte Property in relation to its grant from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique
  • Neighbours on the west side of the project is Osisko Mining Inc.’s (TSX-OSK) Assinica property and to the northwest is Beaufield Resources Inc.’s Troilus-Tortigny Property (TSX.V-BFD)

Vancouver, BC / May 30, 2017 – Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC-ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) announces that it is planning further exploration for the Decouverte Property in relation to its grant from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (“INRS”) as announced June 1, 2015, September 18, 2015, November 5, 2015 and November 30, 2015.

Durango’s wholly owned Decouverte (Discovery) property is in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt in northern Quebec approximately 100km to the northwest of the town of Chibougamau. Neighbours on the west side of the project is Osisko Mining Inc.’s (TSX-OSK) Assinica property and to the northwest is Beaufield Resources Inc.’s Troilus-Tortigny Property (TSX.V-BFD). The former-producing Troilus mine is approximately 60km northeast along the same fault. It is noteworthy to mention that there are three important massive sulphide showings to the west (Fallara, Rapides Assinica and Lucky Strike) and to the East are VMS deposits with proven resources (Tortigny, Lessard, De Maures, Moleon).

The INRS grant (FQRNT-MERN-MINES) on the Decouverte property is being used to focus on defining the electromagnetic (EM) anomalies from Durango’s Dighem airborne survey, which may be indicative of massive sulphide mineralization.

The research grant is being used on the site of the Decouverte property to test the utility of deep penetration geophysical methods (audiomagnetotelleluric: AMT, Controlled Source ElectroMagnetics; CSEM) to document the VMS mineralization potential of the lake Pasquale area.

At the end of 2015, 9.9 km of magnetometric, gravimetric and electromagnetic (FDEM) surveys were carried out along 3 sections intersecting different lithological units and structures of the Decouverte property. These sections also intersect magnetic and EM anomalies detected by the DIGHEM heliborne survey. An audiomagnetotelluric survey was also realized to document the deep geophysics (0-1500m) under line 3 which intersects a large conductive magnetic anomaly.

Given the presence of formational conductors on the Decouverte property, gravimetry and sub-surface electrical resistivity work will be carried out to characterize the main anomalies detected by the DIGHEM survey. A follow-up exploration program (outcrops, erratic blocks) will be carried out in 9 sectors previously identified as priority. Finally, a lithogeochemical study will be carried out to document the geochemical signature of felsic volcanics in the southern part of the property. This sector includes base metal showings associated with felsic and intermediate volcanics. According to the report of Falconbridge Ni, these showings had been discovered by ground FDEM and magnetic surveys.

The work is planned to occur in late June and additional details will be announced as they become available.

Rock sampling has been conducted by INRS and is undergoing petrophysics laboratory studies on the Decouverte rocks. The geophysical, petrophysical and geological data of the Decouverte is being developed into a model of the deep geology on the property. Once the report is completed it will be announced and published on the corporate website of Durango.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated, “The Decouverte property remains a compelling project for Durango due to its volcano-sedimentary environment and structural geology which increases the potential for a significant gold and /or VMS deposit. Durango is positioned for discovery as VMS deposits often occur in clusters which mean that the discovery of one may indicate that there are others nearby.”

The technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Marc Richer-LaFleche, P.Geo QC, a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

About Decouverte

The Decouverte property is in the Frotet-Evans greenstone belt approximately 60 kilometres southwest of the former Troilus copper-gold mine, which produced over two million ounces Au and 50,000 tonnes Cu from 1997 to 2010. The property covers approximately 5,900 hectares covering a synclinal fold nose of Archean units transected by a major northeast-trending shear zone. Durango carried out a helicopter-borne DIGHEM EM/magnetic airborne geophysical survey on the property in 2011 (NR Nov. 24, 2011) and soil geochemistry and prospecting in 2013 and 2014 targeting areas identified in the airborne survey. The geological setting is mainly mafic volcanics (basalts/andesites), in places strongly sheared, cut by pegmatitic granitic units, and significant sedimentary, oxide and sulphide facies iron formation units. Alteration including silica, sericite and iron carbonate is noted. Significant soil values included 174 ppb gold, 0.66 ppm silver, 150 ppm nickel, 200 ppm copper and 240 ppm barium. Chip/channel rock samples gave values of 7.6 g/t gold and 6.24 g/t gold hosted in narrow quartz veins in mafic volcanics, in the contact area with the pegmatitic granite. The property is located 100 kilometres north of Chibougamau, Quebec and benefits from favourable infrastructure, including road accessibility, being 10 kilometres from Route du Nord, and a power line that bisects the property.

Such statements include statements regarding the completion of the proposed transactions. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved), and variations of such words, and similar expressions are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statement are necessarily based upon several factors that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of the Company to be materially different from future results, performances or achievements express or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including the price of gold and other metals, anticipated costs and the ability to achieve goals, and the Company will be able to obtain required licenses and permits. While such estimates and assumptions are considered reasonable by the management of the Company, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory uncertainties and risks including that resource exploration and development is a speculative business; that environmental laws and regulations may become more onerous; that the Company may not be able to raise additional funds when necessary; fluctuating prices of metals; the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Company’s expectations; operating hazards and risks; and competition. There can be no assurance that economic resources will be discovered or developed at the Gold Drop Property. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward looking statements include continued availability of capital and financing and general economic, market or business conditions, the loss of key directors, employees, advisors or consultants, equipment failures, litigation, competition, fees charged by service providers and failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and, accordingly are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty of such statements. The forward-looking statements included in this news release are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable securities legislation.

Tartisan Resources Corp. Completes the Purchase of the Ichuna Copper-Silver Property in Peru $TTC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:22 PM on Wednesday, May 24th, 2017

Tartisan logo copy

  • Completed the acquisition of the Ichuña Copper-Silver property in located in the Department of Moquegua in Southern Peru
  • Entered into an agreement with Duran Ventures Inc. to acquire 100 per cent interest

Toronto, Ontario – Tartisan Resources Corp. (CSE: TTC) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) has completed the acquisition of the Ichuña Copper-Silver property in located in the Department of Moquegua in Southern Peru.

Tartisan entered into an agreement with Duran Ventures Inc. (“Duran”) to acquire 100 per cent interest in the Ichuña copper-silver property by paying Duran a cash payment $50,000 CDN and issuing 500,000 shares. Duran retains a 2% NSR of which Tartisan may purchase half (1%) of the NSR for $500,000.

The Ichuña property is contiguous to San Gabriel project owned by Peru’s largest mining company Minas Buenaventura (“Buenaventura”). The San Gabriel project was a blind discovery in 2008 and now is reported to contain a resource of 13 million tonnes at 5.26 g/t Au for 2.2 million ounces in the measured, indicated and inferred categories (source Buenaventura website 2017 corporate presentation page 15). Buenaventura consolidated its interest in the project by purchasing Goldfield’s interest in 2014 and revised the project from a large open pit operation to a more profitable underground operation. The main mineralized zone on the San Gabriel project is located just 3 kilometres from the property boundary with Tartisan.

The previous owner acquired the 1,000-hectare Ichuña Property in 2006 before the discovery at San Gabriel. Extensive high-grade surface Cu-Ag mineralization was initially observed by Duran’s geologists and was later followed up by a property wide geophysical survey in 2010. The work identified a large IP geophysical anomaly trending northwest-southeast measuring over 1,500 metres in length. The main mineralized zone on Buenaventura’s San Gabriel project called the Canahuire Zone was a blind target with a strong geophysical response. Economic mineralization in the Canahuire zone does not outcrop at surface and follows a recessive area. The geophysical anomaly on Ichuña has similar characteristics to the Canahuire zone whereby the IP anomaly trends along a recessive area with no outcrop.

Historic work on the property by Duran included seven diamond drill holes totaling 2,754 metres. Drilling did not test the geophysical anomaly. Tartisan intends to test this anomaly with diamond drilling. Initial work will comprise of community relations followed by detailed magnetic surveys. The Company is confident in obtaining community approvals since Buenaventura recently had their Environmental Impact Assessment approved.

Jeff Reeder, PGeo, a qualified person in the context of National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.

Tartisan Resources Corp. common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE:TTC). Following the above transaction, there are 72,862,443 shares outstanding (88,905,827 fully diluted).

For further information, please contact Mr. D. Mark Appleby, President & CEO and a Director of the Company, at 416-804-0280 ([email protected]),. Additional information about Tartisan can be found at the Company’s website at www.tartisanresources.com or on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

This news release may contain forward-looking statements including but not limited to comments regarding the timing and content of upcoming work programs, geological interpretations, receipt of property titles, potential mineral recovery processes, etc. Forward-looking statements address future events and conditions and therefore, involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements.

  • Announced the acquisition of a 37 mineral claims units package (4 claims) totalling 592 hectares, situated in Holloway and Marriott Townships in the Larder Lake Mining Division, District of Cochrane, Province of Ontario, contiguous to the PG-101 Gold Property
  • With this acquisition, the PG-101 property now consists of 110 mining claims (195 mineral claim units) covering 3,122.8 hectares situated in the Larder Lake mining division

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC–(May 24, 2017) – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQB:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a 37 mineral claims units package (4 claims) totalling 592 hectares, situated in Holloway and Marriott Townships in the Larder Lake Mining Division, District of Cochrane, Province of Ontario, contiguous to the PG-101 Gold Property. With this acquisition, the PG-101 property now consists of 110 mining claims (195 mineral claim units) covering 3,122.8 hectares situated in the Larder Lake mining division, district of Cochrane, in the Marriott and Halloway Townships, Ontario.

Explor Resources Inc., will pay a total of $7,000 CDN and issue 300,000 common shares for an Option to acquire a 100 % interest in the Property. The Optionors have retained a 2.0% NSR in the property. This acquisition is subject to the approval of The TSX Venture Exchange.

The PG -101 additional claims are contiguous to the claim group where Explor’s intersected 52.01 g/t Au over 3.0 m (Press Release of March 24, 2009) and adjacent to the eastern boundary of Kirkland Lake Gold’s former producing Holt Mine Property and only a few kilometers east of their Holloway Mine property. Historic production (1988-2004) from the Holt (McDermott) Mine totals 8.18 million tons at a grade of 0.162 opt Au1(7.42 million tonnes @ 5.6 gpt Au). Measured and indicated resources reported as of Dec. 31, 2016 for the Holt Mine are 6.970 million tonnes at a grade of 4.2 gpt Au2. Production at the Holloway Mine to 2004 is reported as 4.73 million tons at a grade of 0.166 opt Au1 (4.29 million tonnes @ 5.7gpt Au). Measured and indicated resources reported as of Dec. 31, 2016 for the Holloway Mine are 1.370 million tonnes at a grade of 5.3 gpt Au2. Several other smaller deposits in the Harker-Holloway gold camp and in the vicinity of the PG-101 Property include the Buffonta, Mattawasaga and East zone deposits.

The PG-101 Property is underlain by the same succession of mafic volcanic flows, breccias, and tuffs that host the known gold deposits of the area. These volcanic rocks are cut by ENE trending faults that splay from the Porcupine-Destor fault zone (“PDFZ”). The PDFZ is a major deformation zone that crosses along the north boundary of the PG-101 claims in Marriott Township. Proximity to the PDFZ, the Kirkland-Larder Lake Break and other similar regional faults are characteristic of significant gold deposits of the Eastern Abitibi greenstone belt.

Explor plans to continue its exploration program on the PG-101 Property with the integration of this property with the existing property by the compilation of historic work, geological modeling, and the identification of high priority targets. Explor plans to start its exploration program in the spring of 2017. Explor plans on drilling on geophysical targets that were discovered in the fall of 2016.

“We are very pleased to announce this partnership with Panag as we work towards building an innovative product pipeline focused on cannabis,” said Andre Rancourt, CEO of Tetra Bio-Pharma. “Tetra is committed to generating revenues in 2017 by launching several products in the retail market through its partnership with Panag.”

Panag has developed potential new cannabinoid-based therapies for ocular and topical anti-inflammatory and pain markets. The total ocular anti-inflammatory market was estimated at over $3 billion in the USA in 2014 and includes conditions such as post-op inflammation, allergic conjunctivitis and inflammatory dry eye. Panag also developed a cannabinoid topical drug product for the local treatment of pain and inflammation. In 2014, the over the counter sales of topical analgesics were estimated at over $2.5 billion according to IMS.

“We will prioritize the development of the ocular therapy as this is a promising innovative product with high medical need and a significant potential financial reward,” said Guy Chamberland, Chief Scientific Officer of Tetra Bio-Pharma. Tetra has positioned itself to become a leader in topical pain relief.
