PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Announces Intention to Purchase Up to 4.1% of its Common Shares in Open Market

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:42 AM on Thursday, September 6th, 2018

Pyr header 1

  • Announced today that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid  through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange
  • Pursuant to the NCIB, PyroGenesis proposes to purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months, up to 5,000,000 (approx. 4.1%) of its common shares issued and outstanding

MONTREAL, Sept. 06, 2018 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR), a TSX Venture 50® high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

Pursuant to the NCIB, PyroGenesis proposes to purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months, up to 5,000,000 (approx. 4.1%) of its common shares issued and outstanding (the “Shares”). As of the date hereof, there are 122,895,342 Shares of PyroGenesis issued and outstanding.

Purchases under the NCIB will commence on acceptance and approval of the TSXV and will expire on the earlier of: (i) one year from such commencement; or (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of Shares to be acquired under the NCIB. All purchases made by the Company will be through Pollitt & Co. Inc. acting on behalf of the Company in accordance with the rules of the TSXV. The actual number of Shares which will be purchased, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by the Company, and the price which the Company will pay for the Shares will be the market price at the time of the purchase.

The Company’s Board of Directors believe that the market price of the Company’s Shares does not reflect the underlying value of the Company, specifically its growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its Shares is in the best interests of the Company and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds. Any purchases made by the Company could also enhance value and liquidity for its ongoing shareholders.

“At these price levels, we find the value of our shares to be an attractive investment and, as such, a good use of funds, particularly given our recent press releases which describe, amongst other things that (i) the Company contracted for an order of 10 tons (minimum) of titanium powders, (ii) is now recommended by a leading 3D printer OEM to their customers, (iii) has embraced a tolling strategy for its Drosrite™ system with joint venture discussions in progress, and (iv) interest by the US Military for two (2) aircraft carrier systems continues.  This is all within the background of being nominated “Materials Company of the Year” at the 3D Printing Industry Awards 2018, and continued strategic commercial discussions with significant players within the Additive Manufacturing industry,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Despite our daily trading volume being respectable, we believe that the share price does not fully reflect this news. We find it inconceivable that PyroGenesis is approximately half the market value than it was at the end of January 2018, particularly given the news released since that time. As such, we feel it is an opportune time to buy PyroGenesis’ shares.”

Canada’s #Esports tournament creates its own #cryptocurrency $GMBL $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca $TCEHF $Game.ca $EPY.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:39 AM on Wednesday, September 5th, 2018
  • A Canadian eSports company is the latest to try and offer its own cryptocurrency
  • Canada Cup is introducing the eSports ecosystem digital token (because, apparently, it couldn’t be creative enough to come up with a unique name), which will reportedly empower all gamers through the creation of a digital eSports currency specifically for the community

BY Erik Gibbs ON September 05, 2018

ESE will offer a medium to transfer value, reward both casual and professional players and compliment the current fiat-based payout structure. The token is designed, as described by Canada Cup, to fill a gap that prevents a number of casual gamers from being rewarded for their participation.

ESE token holders can passively earn more tokens through Canada Cup’s “staking rewards” program. This will provide an additional income source to both gamers and organizers, which will help them finance future participation. An ESE Loyalty Nodes program is also anticipated, and is designed to provide stability to the token award program above and beyond the passive awards users can accumulate. The staking rewards and Loyalty Nodes programs won’t be ready until sometime during the first quarter of next year.

A community wallet, representing 17% of the token’s initial supply, will be used to give back to the community. It will offer a variety of prize pools, player and team sponsorships, scholarships, charity donations and eSports advertisements.

Canada Cup, which was founded in 2010, hosts a number of tournaments for a variety of fighting games and is behind “the largest and most prestigious fighting game tournament in Canada,” the Canadian Fighting Game tournament.

According to the ESE white paper (in pdf), the currency will solve a number of problems, including complimenting fiat payouts by adding ESE tokens from the community wallet, which would increase the value of the total prize pool to support professional gamers financially and make it easier to transition into a gaming career.

It also promises to broaden payout structures to allow more players to reap rewards from tournaments, which means rewards are no longer limited to the top echelon of players, but can be extended to casual players due to an increased prize pool. Lastly, the currency will encourage tournament organizers to continue hosting events by supporting these events financially with ESE tokens from the community wallet to ensure that these events are sustainable, according to the company.

  • Hole CR-18-606 returned 8.24 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 26.38 g/t Au over 2.6 metres
  • This intersection lies 328 vertical metres below surface, 54 metres north of and 34 metres below the mineralized intersection of hole CN-88-133, which was used to design the deepest stope in the mining plan

Drilling confirms grades for planned bulk sampling areas and continues to expand the deposit at depth and to the west

MONTREAL, Sept. 5, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques”, “Monarques Gold” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report additional assay results from the 2018 diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Croinor Gold project 50 kilometres east of Val-d’Or, Québec. The 20,000-metre program started in March 2018 and is focused on the expansion and infilling of the Croinor Gold deposit. The Phase 2 results are from a total of 5,327 metres of drilling in 27 holes (see plan view). Phase 2 drilling is complete, with assays pending, and Phase 3 drilling has started.

The Croinor Gold deposit is hosted in a sheared diorite sill three kilometres long by 60–120 metres wide, striking 295 degrees north and dipping 50–65 degrees to the north. The mineralization is associated with pyrite found within and adjacent to quartz-tourmaline veins. The goal of Phase 2 was to extend the Croinor Gold deposit farther west and infill the two areas slated for underground bulk sampling.

Hole CR-18-606 returned 8.24 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 26.38 g/t Au over 2.6 metres. This intersection lies 328 vertical metres below surface, 54 metres north of and 34 metres below the mineralized intersection of hole CN-88-133, which was used to design the deepest stope in the mining plan. Hole CR-18-601, drilled on the western part of the Croinor Gold deposit, 84 metres west of the nearest hole (CR-11-401) on the same horizon, returned 5.30 g/t Au over 1.1 metres in an intersection 336 metres below surface. These results show that the deposit is still open both at depth and to the west, and that further drilling is warranted.

Hole CR-18-610 returned 5.67 g/t Au over 7.0 metres just below the 500-foot level drift of the old mine, enlarging a planned stope on this level.

Infill drilling of two areas slated for bulk sampling returned 18.45 g/t Au over 0.9 metres, 12.00 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 11.25 g/t Au over 1.0 metres from the area on the 125-foot level and 12.50 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, 6.34 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 4.68 g/t Au over 1.2 metres from the area on the 250-foot level, in addition to other values shown in the table below. These encouraging numbers confirm and expand the two areas planned for bulk sampling on two different levels.  The area on the 125-foot level is in the western part of the deposit and the area on the 250-foot level is near the old shaft in the middle of the deposit.

“Drilling on Croinor Gold continues to generate excellent results,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “Like Phase 1, Phase 2 was a success, striking mineralized zones in 26 of the 27 holes, returning a number of high-grade intersections and enabling us to confirm the grades and continuity of the gold structures in the planned bulk samples areas and extend the deposit at depth and to the west. As we await the final results for Phase 2, we have commenced Phase 3 drilling, which in addition to definition drilling on planned stopes in the western sector of the deposit is focused on other promising exploration targets on the 151 km2  Croinor Gold property. From what we know of Croinor Gold to date, we believe that its gold discovery potential remains essentially untapped.”

How Online education #edtech is beneficial for students from remote areas in #India $BTRU.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:41 PM on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018

  • A country’s growth is governed by many factors, and education is one of them.
  • While schools in the urban areas are complemented by state-of-the-art infrastructure, facilities, and teachers; schools in the rural areas struggle with necessary facilities like toilets and lack a proper teaching staff.
  • Needless to say, this results in a reduced sense of motivation among students and is a significant cause of poor quality of education in rural schools

Despite 85% of the government schools being in villages, students in rural areas rarely get the quality education that could benefit them. This leads to a loss of potential talent which could have contributed to the progress of the country. Keeping in mind the fact that numerous successful IAS aspirants are from rural areas, there are no limits to what these students could achieve if they are given access to quality education.

Non-Profit Organizations:

To battle this imminent problem, many non-profit organizations like eVidyaloka are now trying to improve the quality learning by bringing online education to rural classrooms. Their prime purpose is to bring about a knowledgeable and empowered rural India through the provision of quality education. The “each one, teach one” ideology encourages educated professionals to take time out of their schedules to deliver online lectures to students from rural areas.

The students thus not only get the quality education they lack, but they also get taught by teachers who are enthusiastic about teaching, which also goes a long way in boosting their morale. Online education enhances the learning outcome of students through learning modules that are focused on their classroom syllabus.

The language also poses a barrier when it comes to teaching in rural areas. NGOs, however, have overcome this barrier through an active tutor management program that focuses on taking on volunteers who are comfortable teaching in the local language, although it might not be their medium of instruction during their school days!

Government Initiatives:

The government has also played a significant role in bringing about an educational reform through online learning. The Ministry of Human Resource Development has recently launched three initiatives – Swayam, Swayam Prabha, and National Academic Depository, which aim to take the e-learning sector in India to the next level. At the inauguration of these initiatives, former President Pranab Mukherjee talked about how digital technology can enable excellent teachers to directly teach a large number of students who are not physically present in classes. The interactive learning experience will thus allow students in the remote parts of the country to benefit from lectures delivered by highly qualified teachers.

Swayam and Swayam Prabha are a rendition of digital classrooms that enable students from rural areas to connect either through the Internet or direct-to-home service and access educational content. Swayam offers courses through digital classes, and the study material is available online in the form of videos. Everything is available free of cost; however, students who want certificates will need to get registered.

India’s Chief Economic Advisor, Arvind Subramanian has also prepared a series of lectures on the Indian economy which can be accessed via Swayam and Swayam Prabha. The course structure of these online and digital classrooms will cover every aspect of education from class nine onwards, and will also include preparatory courses for competitive exams, including modules for preparation of IITs and IAS exams.

If not Internet, then DTH:

For the remote areas which still lack the facilities of a stable Internet connection, the Government will use alternative methods of communication. Swayam Prabha aims to tap into the potential utilization of Direct-to-Home (DTH) Service, and plans are already in place for setting up of a dish antenna that would give students access to 32 educational channels run by the HRD ministry. According to Dr. Pankaj Mittal, the Additional Secretary in UGC, these channels will broadcast new content of a duration of at least four hours, and this would be repeated five more times in a day, thus allowing students to view this content according to their convenience.

The online classrooms offered by government and non-profit organizations alike work towards one common goal: to provide equal quality of education to students in rural areas. These classroom programs are bridging the gap in quality education, and are thus empowering these students to do more with their lives. Thanks to these active initiatives, students in rural areas are also becoming aware of the variety of career paths they could follow, a privilege that they’d never had before.

Methods of teaching and learning processes make all the difference when it comes to education. These are also the main factors responsible for the stark contrast in the quality of education in the rural and urban areas. Online education can bridge this gap and bring to rural students the education they most rightly deserve.

Tartisan $TN.ca Initiates Work Program at the Kenbridge Deposit, Kenora, Ontario and Prepares Update to NI 43-101 $ROX.ca $FF.ca $EDG.ca $AGL.ca $ANZ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:13 AM on Tuesday, September 4th, 2018

  • Tartisan has a detailed three-pronged exploration strategy for the Kenbridge Deposit.
  • First, analysis of the structural and deformational setting of the Kenbridge Project through surface mapping and geophysics as Tartisan’s data analysis from the Canadian Arrow Mines Limited acquisition shows a number of very interesting mineralized zones that do not appear to have been fully explored
  • Second, MineMap Pty Ltd of Perth, Australia has been evaluating the resource base of the Kenbridge deposit from both open pit and underground perspectives.

Toronto, Ontario – Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN, FSE: A2DPCM) (“Tartisan”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that strategic exploration on the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, Kenora, Ontario has commenced.

As previously press released, Tartisan has a detailed three-pronged exploration strategy for the Kenbridge Deposit. First, analysis of the structural and deformational setting of the Kenbridge Project through surface mapping and geophysics as Tartisan’s data analysis from the Canadian Arrow Mines Limited acquisition shows a number of very interesting mineralized zones that do not appear to have been fully explored.

Second, MineMap Pty Ltd of Perth, Australia has been evaluating the resource base of the Kenbridge deposit from both open pit and underground perspectives. Key to the relevance of this effort is that the principal resource consultant for MineMap is a past Falconbridge employee and has a detailed prior knowledge of the Kenbridge Deposit. This resource calculation, with the insights into potential future mine planning that a resource distribution can provide, is a key factor in updating the NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper Deposit.

Third, as previously announced, Tartisan has contracted Abitibi Geophysics Inc. Thunder Bay, Ontario office to provide the geophysical surveys that will define the geophysical character of the Kenbridge Deposit from the mineralized outcrops at surface to the high-grade drill-intersected mineralization at the base of the 632m shaft and below within the Kenbridge deformation zone. Abitibi will use this data to survey the rest of the northeast-trending deformation zone as well as on subsidiary related structural settings seen on the Kenbridge property.

Tartisan Nickel Corp CEO Mark Appleby said, “Since the original magnetic survey by Falconbridge Nickel in 1955, approximately 10 detailed geophysical surveys have been conducted over the Kenbridge Deposit and Property, but none were deep-seeking geophysical studies. Since our purchase of the Canadian Arrow assets in February 2018, we have undertaken a careful review of the asset. Our geophysical programs should put our whole geophysical database into a real discovery context so that when we go to drill the Kenbridge Property, we will have the best possible target definition.”

Tartisan will continue the strategic exploration program by evaluating surface exploration works, evaluate core stored on site and facilitate the surface geophysical survey. Ryder & Associates of Bradford, Ontario and Steel & Associates of Brampton, Ontario are continuing to assist in advancing the Kenbridge asset and they have been an integral part of the Company’s review and analysis since the Canadian Arrow Mines Limited purchase.

As a note, the Kenbridge Deposit occurs within a vertically dipping, lenticular gabbro and gabbro breccia with surface dimensions of 250m by 60m and sits within a significant northeast-trending deformation zone, as shown by deformation textures and shearing in the deposit host rocks. Other structural deformation zone orientations have been mapped on the Kenbridge Project including north, east, and northwest-trending. East-trending deformation zones appear to be host the ultramafic rock units implicit in nickel mineralization at Denmark Lake and Overflow Lake, located to the southeast of the Kenbridge Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Deposit.

As previously described in the Company’s CSE Monthly Progress Reports, and the Company’s Financial Disclosure Documents, Tartisan was served with a statement of claim on June 12, 2018 by a supplier under contract to the Company. The Company has filed a statement of defence and counter claim in the amount of $1,050,000 against the supplier. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case and advance the counter claim.
