AGORACOM Welcomes Stria Capital with a New Source and New Process For Technology Lithium

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:49 AM on Wednesday, March 19th, 2014

Why Stria Capital?

  • Aiming to become one of the lowest cost producers in the world for battery- grade technology lithium — critical for high-technology green energy industries.
  • Management is key. Stria has assembled a truly world-class, experienced and accomplished team.
  • Stria’s strategic, cost-effective exploration substantially reduces the risks and expenditures of exploration by focusing on deposits that are readily available to advance.
  • Stria’s unique and extensive experience in understanding and utilizing the latest, most-advanced geophysical tools affords the Company a competitive edge within the industry.
  • The lithium market remains robust with tremendous upside potential versus other metals.

 

A New Source, a new process for technology lithium

 

Several foreign nations are already stockpiling materials critical to the emerging green technology economy, which means a reliable North American supply of high quality lithium-based products has never been more urgent. At Stria, we believe Canada has a key role to play in the green tech economy, and we plan to be a part of it by carving out a supply and technology niche in the critical and strategic metals world.

The Stria strategy …

Stria, through a business plan combining strategic alliances and property acquisition, aims to be among an elite group of Canadian producers helping to drive the clean tech economy through the provision of a dependable supply of “home-grown” lithium carbonate and through innovative mineral processing and purification technologies for primary lithium-spodumene ore.

Pontax-Lithium property …

Stria holds 100 per cent ownership of the Pontax-Lithium property located in the west-central James Bay territory in northern Quebec.

The property, which Stria acquired from Khalkos Exploration Inc. in 2013, is host to a recently discovered swarm of a dozen spodumene-bearing (a lithium mineral) pegmatite dikes, each one metre to 10 metres in thickness, plus a series of small centimetre-thick dikelets.

The lithium-bearing dikes outcrop over an area of 450 metres by 100 metres (for more information, click here to view the NI-43-101 Technical Report (Girard,2013) on the Pontax-Lithium Property).

Close-up view of Pontax’s spodumene-bearing pegmatite. The light grey spodumene is idiomorphic and lath-shaped. The intergranular grey mineral is quartz.


Willcox Lithium / Arizona

Stria holds 100 per cent ownership of the Willcox Lithium project, located in Cochise County, Arizona. Acquired through the purchase of Pueblo Lithium LLC from AGR-O Phosphate Inc. in 2014, the property is comprised of 61 lode mining claims.

Willcox Playa is located a few kilometres south of the city of Willcox in north-central Cochise County, 120 km east of Tucson. This barren flat — elevation 1,260 metres (approx. 4,136 feet) — is the lowest part of Willcox basin, which is the northern end of Sulphur Springs Valley. The location is known for its lithium content, and Willcox Playa was part of the U.S. Geological Survey’s 1978 drill program testing lithium distributions in the late Cenozoic sedimentary basin.

Financing abounds for medical marijuana startups

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:15 AM on Friday, March 14th, 2014

Financing abounds for medical marijuana startups

All of the medical marijuana producers approved by Health Canada or in the approval process say they’d been approached with multiple financing offers.

Tweed Inc. workers tend to medical marijuana plants at a new commercial operation set up inside a former Hershey’s chocolate factory in Smiths Falls, Ontario, an hour’s drive from Canada’s capital Ottawa, on February 4, 2014. AFP PHOTO/MICHEL COMTE

By: Business reporter, Published on Thu Mar 13 2014

Canada’s new medical marijuana industry is set to make history on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Tweed Inc., among the first ten companies licensed by the federal government to produce and distribute pot, is in the final stages of approval for a listing on the TSX Venture Exchange.

The firm has a ticker secured — TWD — chosen because fertilizer manufacturer Potash Corp. has long held the ticker POT, joked chairman Bruce Linton.

If it is granted the listing it will become the country’s first public medical marijuana company with an opening share price just below $1, he said.

With over $10 million in private financing, Tweed is housed in the old Hershey’s plant in Smiths Falls and on track to produce 25 different strains of medical marijuana ranging in price from $5 to $12 a gram.

The company hopes to capture a healthy slice of the $1.3-billion medical marijuana industry Health Canada forecasts by 2024. And that’s worth the scrutiny and paperwork of an IPO, said Linton.

“We thought it was an important step to give another level of credibility to what we’re doing as a differentiator in terms of professionalism,” he explained.

Under Canada’s new Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR), which roll out completely April 1, the government appoints and oversees producers. The old guidelines allowed users to grow their own medical marijuana or purchase it from the government.

The cost for staff and facilities to meet Health Canada’s requirements is substantial, say licensees.

“To build up a capacity to produce large quantities, and test the product, and have a quality, secure operation, that requires significant dollars,” said Bedrocan Canada CEO Marc Wayne.

“You’re moving out of the kind of handmade grow ops in days gone by. This is a much more sophisticated industry.”

Fortunately, startup money abounds. All the approved or pending producers the Star spoke with said they’d been approached with multiple offers by financiers.

Venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary may yet be among them. In a recent CNBC appearance, the investor of Dragon’s Den fame raved about the burgeoning U.S. industry where $14 million (U.S.) of recreational pot was sold in Colorado in January.

“For me as an investor, this is like getting an opportunity to get into alcohol after prohibition just ended,” he said on Squawk Box. “This is going to be a massive multi-billion dollar business, regulated and taxed by the government…. I really like the margins in this business – it is phenomenal,” he said.

However, with these changes only happening at the state level —Washington is next to allow recreational pot — O’Leary fears running afoul of territorial rules.

“If I were to invest in two deals I’ve been looking at in Colorado right now I could run into jurisdictional problems as an investor in another state where it’s illegal,” he said.

The Montreal native needs to look closer to home.

“Since we became licensed, I’ve received quite a number of calls, both from individuals and from bankers wanting to talk to me about financing or investing or even going public,” said Neil Closner, MedReleaf CEO.

“This is an extremely exciting, interesting time for bankers in Canada, because there really isn’t a huge healthcare entrepreneurial base in this country; mostly because the government controls healthcare.”

MedReleaf doesn’t have designs on the TSX though.

“Being a public company has its pros, but it involves a lot of work in terms of public reporting and news releases and regulations,” said Closner. “We’d rather focus on growing and treating our patients.”

Mark Gobuty, CEO of The Peace Naturals Project, has a similar outlook: “We think there’s going to be a significant evolution for this industry. We need to be nimble and responsive, both to our clients and to the regulator, and we need to be privately held, with a low amount of shareholders, for really important decisions.”

One publicly-traded Canadian company has their sights on ancillary industries rather than growers or producers.

“There are just a lot of companies rushing into that space,” said Harry Barr, CEO of Vancouver-based Next Gen Metals Inc. “Part of my fear is that there’s a limited amount of patients. I see us financing the companies that do the lights, the fertilizer, the seed, the sophisticated equipment that would go in there. To use a mining analogy, I want to sell them the picks and shovels.”

The long time mining executive, who is diversifying into medical marijuana and industrial hemp to buoy a mining slump, said Next Gen is currently reviewing 45 proposals.

Garibaldi broadens mineralized corridor at Grizzly, prepares to accelerate 2014 exploration plans

TSXV: GGI, OTC: GGIFF, Frankfurt: RQM

VANCOUVER, March 13, 2014 – Garibaldi Resources Corp. (TSXV: GGI) (the “Company” or “Garibaldi”) is pleased to report that recent reconnaissance work carried out over western portions of its Grizzly Property in the Sheslay Valley, northwest British Columbia, has identified a new zone of porphyry copper mineralization 3 km south of its Grizzly West porphyry target and 3 km west-southwest of Prosper Gold Corp.’s Pyrrhotite Creek prospect in an area referred to as West Kaketsa. Garibaldi is the largest landholder among juniors in the Sheslay district and controls approximately 26,200 hectares in claims. The results of this program suggests potential to significantly broaden a NW/SE trending corridor of porphyry targets that extends for over 30 km through the Sheslay Valley from the western end of the Grizzly Property through Grizzly Central to the recently announced Grizzly East expansion claims.

Given highly encouraging results in the western and central parts of the Grizzly Property, Garibaldi is accelerating its 2014 plans at the Grizzly by launching an aggressive Phase 1 exploration program to include detailed mapping, geochemistry, IP surveys and drilling. The initial stages of this work will commence in the next few weeks and the results will determine the scale of a planned Phase 2 program. Garibaldi is in a strong working capital position and is looking forward to advancing the Grizzly Project concurrently with its assets in Mexico.

“The importance of the discoveries recently announced by Prosper Gold and Doubleview Capital Corp., located approximately 10 km apart on properties within the Sheslay corridor, is the scale of mineralization over such wide distances. Confirmation of another significant porphyry target area several km south of Grizzly West underscores the world class potential of this growing mineralized Cu-Au porphyry corridor in the Sheslay Valley,” explained Steve Regoci, Garibaldi President and CEO. “Garibaldi has captured more than 50% of this very prospective corridor with multiple targets already identified from Grizzly West to Grizzly Central through geophysical and geochemical surveys. We’re very excited about advancing the Grizzly to a first-ever drilling stage.”

West Kaketsa Mineralization Similar To Grizzly West, Pyrrhotite Creek

The extent of the newly discovered mineralized area at West Kaketsa is yet to be determined but it’s located approximately 1 km north of the historic West Kaketsa prospect (B.C. Minfile # 104J-024) and appears to be related to a fault that extends at least 3 km to Pyrrhotite Creek on the eastern flank of Mount Kaketsa. Garibaldi’s upcoming program at the Grizzly Property includes plans to further define this new zone with IP surveys and identify potential drill targets.

Petrographic analysis of mineralization from both the West Kaketsa and Grizzly West prospects has confirmed that both areas exhibit classic porphyry-style copper-gold mineralization including hydraulic brecciation, disseminated chalcopyrite and intense alteration within a hydrothermal environment. Garibaldi’s reconnaissance work identified the new mineralized zone while following up on an encouraging airborne magnetic and radiometric survey completed last fall over western portions of the Grizzly Property.

The airborne survey confirmed that West Kaketsa, like Grizzly West, is in a region of strong magnetic activity and structure, the latter indicating faults and fractures in the intrusive bodies favorable for mineralizing fluids along the contact zones of the Mount Kaketsa monzonite granodiorite stock. Historic technical reports describe porphyry mineralization at West Kaketsa as being similar to mineralization observed at Pyrrhotite Creek. Prosper Gold has reported that Pyrrhotite Creek is a large mineralized zone with multiple porphyry targets located 3 km southwest of the Star porphyries in the SW corner of its Sheslay Property adjoining the Grizzly.

Grizzly West

Last fall’s airborne survey shows that Grizzly West is on the periphery of a large magnetic anomaly, in a similar setting to targets on the adjoining Sheslay Property. A soil geochemical survey has defined several strong copper anomalies open in multiple directions at Grizzly West with the grid covering an area approximately 1.5 km x 1.5 km. Fieldwork at this target has confirmed historical reports (Corona Resources) of mineralization with reported grades ranging from 0.20% Cu to 6.7% Cu in rock chip samples.
