Joe Montana talks of esports: ‘We believe in the space’ $GMBL.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:31 AM on Friday, March 31st, 2017

Joe Montana said he doesn’t take losing well, and after getting beaten by his kids in video games he lost interest in playing. But investing in esports, however, is a whole different ballgame for the NFL Hall of Famer. Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images

The Cloud9 organization and its co-founder and CEO Jack Etienne are no strangers to winning, having won the North American LCS in its inaugural season in the summer of 2013.

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback and Hall of Famer Joe Montana is also no stranger to victory, just on a different playing field. He was named Super Bowl MVP three times in his career and lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy on four occasions in the 1980s and early ’90s.

Together, they both hope to continue their winning ways. Montana and his seed stage fund Liquid 2 Ventures invested in Cloud9 over the past week, along with other notable athletes such as Hunter Pence of the San Francisco Giants and Andrew Bogut of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

For Montana, one of the winningest players in NFL history, the rapid growth of esports was an opportunity that he and his partners couldn’t pass up, even if his children continually beat him down in the world of video games.

“[My background] in video games has been very limited,” Montana said. “[It’s] because I hate to lose.”

Montana’s four children, in their mid-20s and early 30s, passed up the MVP quarterback when it came to video games, and made him a less-than-active participant. As an observer, however, Montana has already made moves to enter the video-game scene, helping create Montana 17, a mobile virtual reality football game for VR systems like the Samsung Gear.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Etienne has been in the esports scene for five years now, first a manager for Team SoloMid before co-founding Cloud9. Even during his days while working at Crunchyroll, the leading streaming anime service, the C9 CEO knew one day esports had the potential to be as big as it’s getting now.

“I did believe we were heading in this direction” Etienne said of his team’s growth over the past few years. Starting as just a League of Legends club, the organization has expanded across the esports landscape, having players and teams in such large competitive titles as Overwatch, Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

With the added funding, Cloud9 is always on the search for the next big esport, and for Etienne, it’s the fans, not the game publisher or title itself, that interests the organization in terms of expanding.

“Twitch is a fantastic tool to find what people are watching,” Etienne said. “There is a lot of research you can do on Twitch. H1Z1 and games [in the same genre] are getting a lot of attention.”

In the day and age where every game publisher with a new multiplayer title wants to become an esport, Cloud9 believes in trusting what the fans support instead of simply backing the video game with the most marketing behind it. If the fans flock to a video game on Twitch, C9 takes notice.

With that being said, though, Etienne says that although the organization is looking to expand, the added investment will also be a boon toward its already established teams, giving them more funds to help them improve.

“We believe in the team. We believe in the space.”

Joe Montana

In the whirlwind of traditional sport owners and stars investing in esports over the past year, the NFL has seemingly lagged behind the competition. The NBA has had the biggest impact in competitive gaming, with stars and former stars like Rick Fox, Magic Johnson, and Shaquille O’Neal becoming faces for various organizations. Montana, the biggest NFL name to attach himself to esports, says he believes there are a few factors for that.

“Part of it is the NFL, part of is coincidence,” Montana said. “On average, until recently at least, NBA players made more than players in the NFL. Also, NBA players are traveling all the time, and are on the road three-to-five days a week.”

In the NFL, players can have more of a stable home life. They play on the road only eight times a season, not counting the playoffs, and when you’re a family man, being able to play games is a luxury. NBA players, especially younger ones, bring their favorite consoles along for long road trips, playing with their teammates in the hotel to kill time while away from their families. Additionally, the NBA has fewer traditional owners compared to the NFL, so it’s not surprising why it’s now that the NFL and its representatives are discovering the potential of esports.

A similarity Montana found between esports and NFL is the newfound training regimens. When asked how he felt about esports moving away from the old stereotype of players sitting in a room guzzling Mountain Dew and devouring Doritos, Montana said, “Anything you do, you’re better when you’re healthier. That [stereotype] is what linemen used to be.”

As esports advances to match traditional sports in mental and health training, it also appears to be heading toward a franchising system. Blizzard, for example, announced the upcoming Overwatch League in North America would be built around geolocation and owners bidding where they would want their team to play.

Etienne sees this as the inevitable future of competitive gaming if it wants to reach its full potential. “I think for esports to evolve, these franchises need to happen,” he said. “Franchise models are critical.”

On the topic of fan support and the difference between esports fans primarily following teams because of personalities over any sort of allegiance with a city, Montana isn’t deterred. He cites a story about meeting a die-hard 49ers fan in the heart of Miami Dolphins country, so he says he believes fans can come in all different shapes. “To [esports] fans, it’s the same as a [traditional] sport to them. They’re crazy. It can survive the way it is.”

Montana knows that profits won’t come easy or right away. He and his group, especially when coming into a space so early, are aware of the risks and are confident that their investment in Cloud9, and esports in general, will bear fruit sooner rather than later.

“We believe in the team,” Montana said. “We believe in the space.”

Tartisan Resources Corp. Acquires the Don Pancho Polymetallic Zinc-Lead-Silver-Man… Property in Huaral, Peru $TTC.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:39 AM on Thursday, March 30th, 2017

Tartisan logo copy

  • Acquired 100% of the Don Pancho polymetallic zinc-lead-silver-manganese project located in the Province of Huaral, in the Department of Lima Peru
  • located in a prolific polymetallic mineral belt in central Peru with several operating mines in the area including the world class Iscaycruz and Yauliyacu polymetallic mines operated by Glencore-Xtrata Plc located 50 kilometers to the north-northwest

Toronto, Ontario – Tartisan Resources Corp. (CSE: TTC) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the closing of the acquisition of the Don Pancho |polymetallic zinc-lead-silver-manganese project in Peru.

Tartisan Resources Corp. has now acquired 100% of the Don Pancho polymetallic zinc-lead-silver-manganese project located in the Province of Huaral, in the Department of Lima Peru, 105 kilometers north-northeast of Lima, comprising one concession of 600 hectares and located approximately between 3,660 meters and 4,487 meters above sea level. A Technical Report on the Don Pancho Polymetallic Project (Zn,Pb,Ag,Mn) NI 43-101 has been filed on SEDAR (2014).

The Don Pancho Project is located in a prolific polymetallic mineral belt in central Peru with several operating mines in the area including the world class Iscaycruz and Yauliyacu polymetallic mines operated by Glencore-Xtrata Plc located 50 kilometers to the north-northwest. Additionally, Trevali Mining Corporation’s Santander silver-lead- zinc mine is located 9 kilometers to the east and Buenaventura’s silver-lead-zinc Uchucchacua mine is located 63 kilometers to the north, (10 million ounces of silver produced in 2011). Infrastructure is considered excellent with ready access and a power line crossing the property en route to the Santander mine.

Don Pancho Project

Previous exploration on the property included an extensive surface mapping and sampling program, geophysics and a 2021 metre diamond drilling program of 6 holes conducted by a private Peruvian company.

Mapping and sampling shows an extensive NNW-SSE trending breccia zone measuring over 800 metres in length and 150 to 200 metres in width. There are numerous old workings and underground drifts located within this zone. The 2014 diamond drilling program shows large intersections of polymetallic mineralization, including 40 metres of 0.88% Zn, 0.40% Pb and 7.7 g/t Ag, 22.65 metres of 1.00% Zn, 0.26% Pb and 6.85 g/t Ag and 1.15 metres of 4.38% Zn, 3.25% Pb and 61.1 g/t Ag, (see Duran’s Press Release September 2, 2014). Surface sampling from the previous operator has revealed very interesting values, including 13.9 metres of 28.1 g/t Ag, 2.43% Pb, and 2.42% Zn, 2.8 metres of 28.1g/t Ag, 1.06% Pb, and 9.07% Zn and 13 metres of 8.38g/t Ag, 0.39% Pb, and 2.22% Zn. Sampling of underground workings in Yanapallaca area before the previous operators retuned 106 g/t Ag, 3.26% Pb and 17.56% Zn over 2.00 metres. (see 43-101 Technical Report on Don Pancho filed December 30th, 2014 on Sedar). Please note that the true width of the mineralization both on the surface and underground workings cannot yet be determined as the controls of the mineralization is yet to be fully understood.

A “Stage 1 Program” of geophysics, diamond drilling and potentially underground  drifting is envisioned to commence in 2017. Structural analysis on the geology suggests previous drilling did not properly test the potential of the property. Tartisan  has acquired the core  and data.

In summary under the terms found in the Defineative Agreement Tartisan has acquired a 100% undivided interest in the property by paying $50,000 and issuing 500,000 common shares. Upon completion of 5,000 metres of drilling and/or underground development a further 150,000 shares are payable, and if a NI 43-101 compliant resource is published, a further 150,000 shares are payable and if the Company loses control of the project either by sale or joint-venture, a further 200,000 shares are payable. Duran Ventures will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty, of which half (1%) can be purchased by Tartisan for US$500,000.

Tartisan Resources Corp. common shares are listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE:TTC). Currently, there are 64,564,345 shares outstanding (84,913,414 fully diluted)..|Tartisan additionally owns a 20% + equity stake in Eloro Resources  Ltd . as well as holding  a 2% NSR in the La Victoria Project in North-Central Peru.

Durango Enters Into Option Agreement With Bonterra Resources For Trove Windfall Lake Property $DGO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:39 AM on Thursday, March 30th, 2017

Logo

  • Entered into an option agreement under which BonTerra can earn a 100% interest in Durango’s Trove Windfall Lake Property located in the Windfall-Urban Gold Camp district of northern Quebec
  • Direct extension of the south west mineralized trend that BonTerra is currently exploring on its Gladiator Gold Deposit and Coliseum Gold Property
  • BonTerra technical team is experienced and very familiar with the type of geology hosted by the Trove Property

Vancouver, BC / March 30, 2017 – BonTerra Resources Inc. (TSX.V-BTR, US: BONXF, FSE: 9BR1) (“BonTerra”) and Durango Resources Inc. (TSX.V-DGO, OTC: ATOXF, FSE:86A1), (“Durango”) are pleased to announce that they have entered into an option agreement (the “Agreement”) under which BonTerra can earn a 100% interest in Durango’s Trove Windfall Lake Property located in the Windfall-Urban Gold Camp district of northern Quebec (the “Trove Property”).

The Trove Property, surrounded by properties held by Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX: OSK) (“Osisko”) and Beaufield Resources Inc. (TSXV: BFD) (“Beaufield”), is a direct extension of the south west mineralized trend that BonTerra is currently exploring on its Gladiator Gold Deposit and Coliseum Gold Property. The BonTerra technical team is experienced and very familiar with the type of geology hosted by the Trove Property.

Pursuant to the Agreement, BonTerra may earn a 100% interest in the Trove Property from Durango in exchange for making the following payments and undertaking the following exploration work on the Trove Property:

  • -BonTerra must pay Durango CDN$150,000 in cash and issue Durango 1,500,000 BonTerra common shares within 2 business days of the date the TSX-V approves of the transaction (the “Closing Date”);-on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date, BonTerra must pay Durango a further CDN$150,000 in cash and issue Durango an additional 1,500,000 common shares;

    -on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, BonTerra must pay Durango $200,000 and complete a minimum of CDN$1,000,000 in exploration expenditures, upon which BonTerra will have exercised its option and full title of the Property will be transferred from Durango to BonTerra;

    -BonTerra will issue an additional 2,000,000 common shares to Durango as a discovery bonus if, and when, BonTerra produces a technical report compliant with National Instrument 43-101 showing a minimum 500,000 ounces inferred resource of gold; and

    -Durango will retain a 2% net smelter return royalty in respect of the Trove Property. BonTerra may purchase 50% of this royalty at any time for $1,000,000.

Marcy Kiesman, CEO of Durango, stated “The next exploration stage of the Trove Property requires immediate expenditures for drilling, which Durango’s management is unwilling to finance at current share prices due to the dilution which would result for our shareholders. Entering into this transaction with BonTerra provides Durango with cash flow and allows Durango to share in BonTerra’s potential success in working the Trove Property as a shareholder of BonTerra. BonTerra brings a strong management team and a talented exploration team for future exploration on the Trove, having made a significant gold discovery in the Windfall Lake area on the eastern section, making this partnership an exciting opportunity for Durango. Durango recently acquired additional strategically located ground in the Windfall Lake area adjacent to Osisko and within a few kilometres of the Trove Property boundary, and plans to advance this newly-acquired property in the same manner as the Trove Property was advanced. If Bonterra has success exploring the Trove Property, Durango may be better positioned finance large exploration drilling programs on its other projects. We are very excited about this transaction and the year ahead.”

The Agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and will be filed on SEDAR under the profiles of each of Durango and BonTerra at www.sedar.com.

Route Mobile founder to invest $10m in eSports, launch online league $GMBL.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:59 PM on Tuesday, March 28th, 2017
  • Ronnie Screwvala and Nazara Games, the founder of Route Mobile Rajdip Gupta is planning his eSports venture – COBX Gaming – that will invest $10 million to promote eSports in India
  • COBX will launch an online domestic league, and an international league besides building an Indian team for international eSports championships

MUMBAI: 2017 is turning out to be a watershed year for India’s eSports industry as three companies have announced plans to put big money to launch their respective leagues in the country.

After Ronnie Screwvala and Nazara Games, the founder of Route Mobile Rajdip Gupta is planning his eSports venture – COBX Gaming – that will invest $10 million to promote eSports in India. COBX will launch an online domestic league, and an international league besides building an Indian team for international eSports championships.

According to the Netherlands-based market intelligence company Newzoo, eSports is a $99.6 billion industry globally, as of 2016. Led by China, the Asia Pacific region controls 47% of the total market and 58% of the growth in the global games market comes from the Asia-Pacific region.

Gupta, who recently sold 10% stake in Route Mobile for $23 million, told ETthat COBX wants to create awareness and give an opportunity and a platform to Indian players. “This is the right time to invest in eSports, and it could not have been better. There are other people trying different things in this space, but I want to create awareness and make eSports a career option for serious players,” Gupta said.

His plan is to launch an online league in the second half of April, inviting participation from any team in India. “We have kept the total prize money of `10 lakh for the online championship, which may not sound big, but will surely attract gamers. The idea is to get the right talent and create a team that will take part in International majors,” he added.

COBX will also launch the first international eSports league in India by the end of this year. “We are focused on getting teams from 16 different countries in December for the international league, which will have a prize money of $300,000,” he added.

Marijuana industry gets boost from anticipated legalization target date $TBP.ca $MCOA.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:55 AM on Tuesday, March 28th, 2017

Canadian marijuana businesses got a confidence boost from a CBC News report that the government plans to legalize recreational marijuana by July 2018, although big questions remain about how the legal market will work in different provinces.

The newly revealed date for the debut of legal cannabis is “exactly along the lines of what we expected,” said Neil Maruoka, a stock analyst with Canaccord Genuity who covers publicly traded marijuana companies.

“Certainly there are some companies with more aggressive expansion plans, and this will give some comfort and clarity on what that path forward is going to be,” he said.

Stocks in Canadian marijuana companies swelled on Monday. Shares of Canopy Growth Corp., Canada’s largest publicly traded marijuana producer, gained more than 11 per cent. Shares of Aphria, another large player, gained about 8.4 per cent.

The tabling of the legislation, expected the week of April 10, should be “the tide that lifts all cannabis stocks,” said Maruoka.

Licensed producers bet on recreational sales

Currently, 39 marijuana producers are licensed by Health Canada to cultivate medical marijuana and sell it to patients via a mail-order system. Some of those companies are spending heavily to build up their growing capacity, betting that they’ll be well positioned to sell into the recreational market as soon as the green flag waves.

Alberta-based Aurora Cannabis, which is building an 800,000 square-foot farm near Edmonton International Airport, welcomed the reassurance that Ottawa is committed to recreational sales.

“This is something that we planned on and that’s why we started construction on this enormous facility,” Aurora executive vice-president Cam Battley told CBC Edmonton on Monday.

Canopy Growth CEO Bruce Linton also said the legalization date is in line with his company’s plans.

“It means everything that’s been predicted to be on a path is on a path,” said Linton.

“And when you’re dealing with a government, you can expect things not to stay that course, but they have.”

Who will be allowed to sell?

Even if they weren’t surprised by the date, players in the Canadian marijuana market are taking notice of the news that individual provinces will be deciding how marijuana is sold.

“The dispensary groups, depending on how this plays out, could be big winners,” said Mark Lustig, CEO of CannaRoyalty Corp., which invests in legal aspects of the marijuana industry.

Pharmacies like Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, and Jean Coutu could also benefit if provincial governments tap them as marijuana distributors, said Lustig.

In Ontario, the union that represents Liquor Control Board of Ontario workers has pushed for marijuana sales through the government liquor monopoly.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said Monday that the provincial government has not yet decided who will get to sell marijuana in Canada’s most populous province, although she previously said “it makes sense” to sell marijuana through the LCBO.

Colette Rivet of the Cannabis Canada Association, which represents 15 licensed producers, says her organization’s members favour leaving the mail-order system for medical marijuana in place, and potentially expanding it to recreational sales.

Still, Rivet acknowledges that brick-and-mortar retail sales are “likely to happen, of course.”

In its submission to the federal task force on marijuana legalization, Cannabis Canada said it was against selling alcohol and marijuana in the same location.

Dispensaries hope for inclusion

Owners of some marijuana dispensaries, which are illegal under federal law, are also hoping the provinces will cut them in on the legal marijuana market.

“We feel that we have a very good potential to be included in a regulated environment,” said Jeremy Jacob, a Vancouver dispensary owner and president of the Canadian Association of Medical Cannabis Dispensaries.

In many Canadian cities, dispensaries are frequently raided and shut down by police. But Jacob points out that some B.C. dispensaries have good relationships with local governments in Vancouver and Victoria, where marijuana shops can be licensed by municipal authorities.

Jacob expressed hope that those existing government ties could help pave the way for dispensaries — and the unlicensed producers who grow their product — to take part in the legal marijuana economy in B.C.

“We’re waiting to see how inclusive they actually are,” said Jacob.

Marijuana could be legal by July 2018: report $TBP.ca $MCOA.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:32 AM on Monday, March 27th, 2017

Cured flowers of cannabis intended for the medical marijuana market are seen at a licensed producer facility in Moncton, N.B., on April 14, 2016. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ron Ward
  • federal Liberals have reportedly set a date to officially legalize marijuana
  • government will unveil legislation the week of April 10 and that the recreational use of marijuana is set to be legal by Canada Day of next year.
The federal Liberals have reportedly set a date to officially legalize marijuana.

The CBC reports the government will unveil legislation the week of April 10 and that the recreational use of marijuana is set to be legal by Canada Day of next year.

According to the Globe and Mail, the federal government is scrambling to draft legislation ahead of April 20, the day when pro-weed groups publicly “light up.”

The minimum age to buy pot will be 18, but provinces could set a higher limit. It’s also up to the provinces to control distribution and sales. Also, four marijuana plants will be allowed in each household.

Last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had signalled the legislation would be drawn up this spring to make good on his campaign promise to legalize pot.

All storefront marijuana dispensaries are currently illegal while the federal government drafts legislation to legalize and regulate recreational pot.

Dispensaries have been frequent robbery targets over the last few months. Several shops have been held up, often at gunpoint, and in some instances shots were fired.

Earlier this month, police arrested Marc and Jody Emery – the owners of the Cannabis Culture brand – and raided a number of Cannabis Culture dispensaries across Canada.
