  • Announced that Mr. Richard Giguere has been hired as Executive Vice-President, Commercial Operations
  • He will be responsible for the commercial sales and operations of Tetra Natural Health and Tetra Veterinary Health

Tetra Natural Health and Tetra Veterinary Health

ORLEANS, Ontario, June 19, 2018 – Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc., a leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery and development (TSX VENTURE:TBP) (OTCQB:TBPMF), is pleased to announce that Mr. Richard Giguere has been hired as Executive Vice-President, Commercial Operations. He will be responsible for the commercial sales and operations of Tetra Natural Health and Tetra Veterinary Health.

Richard has more than 20 years’ experience in sales and marketing in the pharmaceutical industry from coast to coast. During his career, he has held various business development, management and negotiation positions and launched several new products on the Canadian market. He has worked for various pharmaceutical companies in sectors such as generics, branded products and medical devices. He has also worked with OTC, natural products and original medications. Richard is recognized for his deep ethical sense, respect of others and talent for developing long-term business relationships through flexibility and efficiency. In the past 10 years, he was also a board member at the companies for which he worked.

“We’re very proud to add Richard Giguere to our senior management team. His vast experience in the sales and marketing of OTC, natural health products and original medications in the pharmaceutical industry across Canada will help drive the execution of our corporate strategy for our Tetra Natural Health and Tetra Veterinary Health divisions,” says Guy Chamberland, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Tetra Bio-Pharma.

Richard Giguere’s arrival is perfectly aligned with Tetra Bio-Pharma’s decision to restructure its corporation by commercial markets. While Tetra Bio-Pharma will be dedicated to pharmaceutical development and commercialization of cannabinoid-based prescription drugs and treatments, Tetra Natural Health will develop and sell cannabinoid-based OTC (self-care) products to leverage the post-legalization market and Tetra Veterinary Health will focus on commercialization of cannabinoid-based products for the pet product market.

“I am honored to be able to play an active role in growing both the Tetra Natural Health and Tetra Veterinary Health divisions,” says Richard Giguere, EVP, Commercial Operations. “Tetra has a sound business model, and there are significant opportunities for us to grow our two commercial divisions. I am committed to making the best business and commercial decisions to accelerate the development of these huge potential markets for our cannabinoid-based products.”

As a result of this senior management change, Anne-Sophie Courtois left the corporation thereby terminating her role as Vice President, Marketing and Communications.

#Digital Ad Spend Reaches an All-Time High of $88 Billion in 2017, With #Mobile Upswing Unabated, Accounting for 57% of Revenue – $GOOD.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:24 PM on Monday, June 18th, 2018
  • Total U.S. digital ad spend reached a record-setting $88 billion last year
  • Represents a 21 percent uptick over the previous year at $72.5 billion, and marks the first time in this report that digital ad revenues have overtaken television (broadcast and cable combined)

Mobile Advertising Hits Landmark $49.9 Billion, While Digital Video Climbs to a Record $11.9 Billion, According to 2017 IAB Internet Advertising Revenue Report

NEW YORK, NY (May 10, 2018) —Total U.S. digital ad spend reached a record-setting $88 billion last year, according to the latest IAB Internet Advertising Revenue Report, released today by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), and prepared by PwC US.  This represents a 21 percent uptick over the previous year at $72.5 billion, and marks the first time in this report that digital ad revenues have overtaken television (broadcast and cable combined).

Mobile built on its momentum from 2016, when it first took more than half of total revenues—claiming an even bigger slice of the pie in 2017 at 57 percent. Spend on mobile rose from $36.6 billion in 2016 to $49.9 billion in 2017, marking a 36 percent increase year-over-year.

Other highlights from the report include:

  • Digital video hit a record $11.9 billion in 2017, a 33 percent year-over-year increase from $8.9 billion in 2016
  • On mobile devices, video revenue surged by 54 percent to $6.2 billion, representing the first time that mobile video revenues have surpassed desktop video
  • Social media advertising commanded $22.2 billion last year, rising 36 percent over $16.3 billion in 2016
  • Search revenues reached nearly $40.6 billion in 2017, up 18 percent from $34.6 billion in 2016
  • Banner advertising is up 23 percent to $27.5 billion, 67 percent of which is derived from mobile banners.
  • Digital audio, measured for the second time in a full-year report, is up 39 percent to $1.6 billion from $1.1 billion in 2016

“Consumers are increasingly spending a tremendous amount of time with interactive screens and content – from mobile to desktop and audio to OTT – and brands are in lockstep with a growing commitment to digital ad buys,” said Randall Rothenberg, CEO, IAB. “Mobile captured more than half of the total digital ad spend last year and we can easily expect that share to continue to climb. Video also saw significant growth. That is no surprise—especially after seeing buyers clamoring to get into last week’s NewFronts presentations in New York.”

“Smartphones and tablets have become indispensable tools in the hands of consumers, from the moment they wake up to right before they go to sleep,” said Anna Bager, Executive Vice President, Industry Initiatives, IAB. “A double digit uptick in spend on mobile video is testament to both the pull of mobile and consumer’s never-ending demand for sight, sound, and motion—even while on-the-go. In addition, brands are embracing digital audio at a fast clip, recognizing the power of this burgeoning medium.”

“Digital advertising revenues have been steadily rising for several years and buyers continue to increase their investment,” said David Silverman, Partner, PwC US. “From mobile to video, consumers are constantly turning to digital, whether for information, entertainment, shopping, sharing, or more.”

Tetra Bio-Pharma $TBP.ca Takes on #Fentanyl in Head to Head Trial for the Treatment of Breakthrough Pain $ATT.ca $ABCN.ca $ACG.ca $ACB $WEED.ca $HIP.ca

  • Announced that Santé Cannabis, the independently credentialed research organization they work with has finalized the clinical study protocol evaluation of PPP001,
  • Will be the first time that cannabis is being compared to fentanyl in a clinical trial

First Clinical Study to Assess Cannabis as an Alternative to Fentanyl

ORLEANS, Ontario, June 18, 2018 — Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc., a leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery and development (TSX VENTURE:TBP) (OTCQB:TBPMF), is pleased to announce that Santé Cannabis, the independently credentialed research organization they work with has finalized the clinical study protocol evaluation of PPP001, which will be the first time that cannabis is being compared to fentanyl in a clinical trial. The study protocol has received approval from the Independent Ethics Board (IRB Services) and was recently submitted for review to Health Canada. PPP001 will investigate cannabis as an alternative to fentanyl in the management of breakthrough pain.  Santé Cannabis is a Quebec-based medical clinic specialized in clinical research and cannabis – based therapies.

Health Canada approved clinical trials completed by Tetra Bio-Pharma in 2017 and 2018 have led to a significantly improved understanding of the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PPP001 in the treatment of pain and suffering.  The development of clinical research protocols to investigate the use of cannabis as an alternative to fentanyl followed Tetra’s meeting with the Therapeutic Products Directorate (TPD), Health Canada in early 2018. As a prescription drug, PPP001 will be eligible for insurance coverage.

The trial is designed to assess the time-to-relief in patients suffering from breakthrough pain.  Based on its clinical data, Tetra believes that the pharmacodynamic properties of PPP001 may provide a novel alternative to fentanyl.  In addition, the time-to-maximal plasma concentrations of THC suggests that PPP001 will provide rapid relief to the patient’s suffering.

“Patients suffering from breakthrough pain require fast relief.  Overdosing from fentanyl may occur in patients that exceed the recommended dosage in the hope of obtaining a more rapid relief.  The development of a THC-based alternative would help provide a safer option to these patients and help prevent overdosing on fentanyl,” said Dr. Antonio Vigano, an Attending Physician at the Supportive and Palliative Care Division, McGill University Health Centre, an Associate Professor in the department of oncology, McGill University and the Research Director of Santé Cannabis where he is a Principal Investigator in a Phase 3 clinical trial for pain associated with advanced cancer, in addition to a phase 2 trial for chronic pain. “PPP001 has the potential to become the long-awaited alternative to opioids for the management of breakthrough pain in cancer patients. Through this trial we are going to gather  more evidence-based data on the safety, efficacy and ease of administration of inhaled cannabinoids as the complementary therapy of choice for cancer related pain.” said Dr. Vigano.

In Canada, the opioid crisis is serious and growing, and imposes devastating effects on families and communities. From January to September 2017, there were at least 2,923 apparent opioid-related deaths of which 92% were accidental. While males make up 76% of these fatalities, the highest percentage (28%) occurred among individuals between the ages of 30 and 39 years.i From January to September 2017, 72% of accidental apparent opioid-related deaths involved fentanyl or fentanyl analogues compared to 55% in 2016.

“Our rich cannabinoid-derived product pipeline has the potential to play a major role in opioid sparing, thus addressing a societal issue of critical proportion,“ said Guy Chamberland, Interim CEO and Chief of Scientific Affairs at Tetra Bio-Pharma.  In addition, the R&D team is in discussions with Health Canada to take PPP001 into other therapeutic indications including fibromyalgia. In taking on new therapeutic indications for PPP001 we can, if successful, significantly increase the potential market as well shareholder value,” said Mr. Chamberland.

Namaste $N.ca $NXTTF closes acquisition of 10% share equity of Israeli-based cannabis producer Cannbit Ltd $ACB.ca $HIP.ca $WEED.ca $CMED.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:54 AM on Monday, June 18th, 2018

Namaste large new

  • Further to its January 18th, 2018 letter of intent, that the Company has signed a subscription agreement to acquire 10% of the issued share capital of Israeli licensed producer of medical cannabis, Cannbit Ltd

VANCOUVER, June 18, 2018 - Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV: N)(FRA: M5BQ)(OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that further to its January 18th, 2018 letter of intent (“LOI”), that the Company has signed a subscription agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire 10% of the issued share capital of Israeli licensed producer of medical cannabis, Cannbit Ltd (“Cannbit”) for NIS 2,500,000 or approximately CAD $908,000, which includes a combination of both cash and shares.

Subsequently, Cannbit has also signed a binding agreement to complete a merger with a company listed on the Tel Aviv stock exchange, whereby Cannbit will retain 85% ownership of the combined public entity, The Company believes that its investment will be immediately accretive in nature based on the valuation metrics of the transaction which consequently valued Cannbit significantly higher than what Namaste acquired its 10% equity stake for. In anticipation of closing this transaction, Namaste has established a supply arrangement with Cannbit to export cannabis to the Canadian market (subject to approval by Health Canada and the Israeli government), and will also engage with Cannbit to expand the Company’s Israeli-based vaporizer sales platform.

Namaste remains focused on establishing domestic and international supply arrangements and investments that will secure supply channels of high-quality medical cannabis for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. (“Cannmart”). This transaction validates our strategy of sourcing quality cannabis products abroad and introducing them to the Canadian market. Early signs indicate that international cannabis producers are eager to penetrate the Canadian market, and view Namaste as a valuable resource in expanding their market share on an international level. In a relatively short period of time, Namaste has managed to solidify its position as an innovator in e-commerce technology and will leverage its multiple supply arrangements to offer Canadian patients a more diverse offering of cannabis products while remaining focused on its overall vision creating a better user experience.

Management Commentary

Yaron Razon, co-founder and CEO of Cannbit comments: – “We are very pleased to have Namaste join as an investor in Cannbit. Namaste is a global leader in cannabis technology and their investment in Cannbit reinforces their confidence in our management team. We intend to work closely with Namaste to promote joint business activities in Israel and in Canada including the development of unique products and technologies.”

Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments: – “We are once again excited to be closing on another strategic business arrangement that is helping Namaste bring international awareness to its platform. We feel extremely excited to not only be working with a licensed Israeli producer but to be making a strategic long-term investment for the company and our shareholders. As a pioneer of cannabis research and development, we believe Israel will play an important role in the overall cannabis market and this transaction puts the Company in a great position moving forward. We feel very optimistic about the rate at which we have been able to close on many key initiatives and fully expect to continue accelerating our efforts to expand our product offering through our platform.

New age large

-The New Age Metal/Azincourt Option – Joint Venture is the largest claim holder of Lithium Projects in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field with over 14,000 hectares (34,800 acres). The Option/Joint Venture has eight projects in this large pegmatite field and are exploring for lithium-bearing pegmatites and Rare Metals.

– Field exploration is underway which includes further ground proofing to better outline drill targets on the Lithium Two Project. Past historical drilling has outlined the Eagle Pegmatite (one of several pegmatites on the project). In 1947 a previous operator reported, 545,000 tonnes of 1.4% Li2O drilled to 60 meters and which was reported as open along strike and to depth. The Eagle Pegmatite is not 43-101 compliant.

– Management feels based on the geological history of the Lithium Two Project, and more specifically the Eagle Pegmatite target, that it is drill ready but management also believes a more in depth field review and geological mapping and sampling program on this large pegmatite would help our technical team to better understand how to pinpoint the summer 2018 drill holes.

– The overall objective for the Lithium Two project is to complete a compliant NI 43-101 report by the end of Q1 2019.

– Field surface exploration will commence on the Lithman West Project as soon as the field team completes the work on Lithium Two. Lithium Two is one of the 3 the drill ready projects and is slated to be drilled later in the year.

– NAM’s Lithium Division has a minimum commitment of $600,000 for exploration and drilling in 2018 which is financed by NAM’s option/joint-venture partner Azincourt Energy Corp. (TSX.V:AAZ).

– NAM’s PGM Division: NAM’s flagship project is its 100% owned River Valley PGM Project (NAM Website – River Valley Project) in the Sudbury Mining District of Northern Ontario (100 km east of Sudbury, Ontario). Presently the River Valley Project is North America’s largest undeveloped primary PGM Project.

June 14th, 2018 / Rockport, Canada – New Age Metals Inc. (TSX.V: NAM; OTCQB: NMTLF; FSE: P7J.F) is pleased to announce that through its Lithium Division, Lithium Canada Developments (LCD) and joint venture partner, Azincourt Energy, that field exploration is proceeding and underway on the Lithium Two Project in southeast Manitoba.

The field crews have nearly completed the first phase of the 2018 surface field exploration on the Lithium Two Project (see figure 1). This project is situated in the active Cat Lake region of southeast Manitoba. The project contains several known lithium-bearing pegmatites (Figure 2) with the Eagle Pegmatite being the largest known to date.

Historical drilling (43-101 non-compliant) of the Eagle Pegmatite in 1947 reported, 545,000 tonnes of 1.4% Li2O drilled to 60 meters and opened along strike and to depth. Management feels based on the geological history of the project that it is drill ready but also felt a field review and geological mapping programs and on this large pegmatite would better help our technical team define the existing summer drill targets.

Given the fact The Eagle Pegmatite is traceable on surface up to approximately 1100 meters and up to 12 meters wide. NAM completed a detailed exploration program of the surface pegmatites in 2016 which returned assays up to 3.04% for LiO2 for the Eagle Pegmatite and 2.08% from the FD5 Pegmatite. The 2018 field program consisted of sampling, prospecting and mapping. Assays will be sent out after the completion of field work on the project. Surface exploration will continue onto other Lithium Projects in the joint venture. Drilling is slated for summer 2018.

All eight Lithium Projects in the option/joint venture are located in the Winnipeg River-Cat Lake Pegmatite Field. This field hosts the world-class Tanco Pegmatite that has been mined for Tantalum, Cesium and Spodumene (one of the primary Lithium ore minerals) in varying capacities, since 1969 at the Tanco Mine. The Tanco Pegmatite is a highly fractionated Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum (LCT Type) pegmatite and numerous other Lithium-bearing pegmatites exist in the Pegmatite Field. The LCT-type pegmatites can contain large amounts of Spodumene (one of the primary ores used in hard rock Lithium extraction) and are a primary geological target in hard rock Lithium exploration. They also can contain economic qualities of Tantalum and Cesium as well as other Lithium bearing minerals such as Mica.

ABOUT NAM’S PGM DIVISION

NAM’s flagship project is its 100% owned River Valley PGM Project (NAM Website – River Valley Project) in the Sudbury Mining District of Northern Ontario (100 km east of Sudbury, Ontario). Presently the River Valley Project is North America’s largest undeveloped primary PGM deposit with Measured + Indicated resources of 160 million tones @ 0.44 g/t Palladium, 0.17 g/t Platinum, 0.03 g/t Gold, with a total metal grade of 0.64 g/t at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t equating to 3,297,173 ounces PGM plus Gold and 4,626,250 PdEq Ounces (Table 1). This equates to 4,626,250 PdEq ounces M+I and 2,713,933 PdEq ounces in inferred (see May 8th, 2018 press release). Having completed a 2018 NI-43-101 resource update the company is finalizing its 2018 exploration programs which will include geophysics, and extensive drill programs, which are all working towards the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Our objective is to develop a series of open pits (bulk mining) over the 16 kilometers of mineralization, concentrate on site, and ship the concentrates to the long-established Sudbury Metallurgical Complex. On May 23rd, 2018, NAM’s board approved a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on River Valley Platinum Group Metals Project’s. Management is currently finalizing its selection of a 3rd party engineering company to complete this PEA. This will be the first economic study on the project. Alaska: April 4th, 2018, NAM signed an agreement with one of Alaska’s top geological consulting companies. The companies stated objective is to acquire additional PGM and Rare Metal projects in Alaska. On April 18th, 2018, NAM announced the right to purchase 100% of the Genesis PGM Project, NAM’s first Alaskan PGM acquisition related to the April 4th agreement. The Genesis PGM Project is a road accessible, under explored, highly prospective, multi-prospect drill ready Pd-Pt-Ni-Cu property.

The results of the new resource estimation are tabulated in Table 1 below (0.4 PdEq cut-off).

Notes:

1. CIM definition standards were followed for the resource estimation.

2. The 2018 resource models used Ordinary Krig grade estimation within a three-dimensional block model with mineralized zones defined by wireframed solids.

3. A base cut-off grade of 0.4 % g/t PdEq was used for reporting resources.

4. Palladium Equivalent (PdEq) calculated using (US$): $1,000/oz Pd, $1,000/oz Pt, $1,350/oz Au, $1750/oz Rh, $3.20/lb Cu, $5.50/lb Ni, $36/lb Co.

5. Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding.

6. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have economic viability

7. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.

  • Phase III diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop Property near Greenwood, BC.
  • 7.44 grams / tonne (g/t) gold, 54.9 g/t silver and 41.6 g/t tellurium over 0.45 meter core length in DDCOD18-4

 

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce drill core analytical results from this winter’s Phase III diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop Property near Greenwood, BC. Analytical results have been received for drill holes DDCOD18-4 to DDCOD18-6, targeting the COD gold and silver bearing quartz vein in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Results include 7.44 grams / tonne (g/t) gold, 54.9 g/t silver and 41.6 g/t tellurium over 0.45 meter core length in DDCOD18-4 in the COD Vein.  Analytical results were previously announced for drill holes DDCOD18-1 to DDCOD18-3 with the highlight being 14.6 g/t gold, 150 g/t silver and 102 g/t tellurium over 2.1 meter core length in DDCOD18-3 (News Release of May 29, 2018)..

The ongoing diamond drilling program is designed to test and further define the COD Vein, a Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Trenching during 2017 has exposed the northeast – southwest striking COD Vein for over 160 meter strike length.

The analytical results reported in this News Release are for DDCOD18-4 through DDCOD18-6 of the 2018 drilling program, which were completed from two pads north of the COD Mineshaft. DDCOD18-4 was drilled at a 161° azimuth and a 70° dip. DDCOD18-5 was completed at a 161°azimuth and a 60° dip. DDCOD18-6 was drilled at a 308° azimuth and a 45° dip. Hole 4 and 5 holes were designed to further delineate the COD vein at depth below the 2017 trench. Hole 6 was drilled from the east side of the vein to intersect the vein and to identify possible cross structures.

Drill hole DDCOD18-4 intercepted the vein at an in-hole depth of 48.45 meters, or true depth of 37.51 meters. DDCOD18-5 intercepted the vein at an in-hole depth of 32.1 meters, or true depth of 27.8 meters. DDCOD18-6 intercepted the vein at an in-hole depth of 10.9 meters, or true depth of 8.5 meters.

The analytical results listed below are from holes DDCOD18-4 to DDCOD18-6, testing the COD Vein. Since true widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available the core lengths (meters) are reported. The Gold and Silver analyses are reported in grams per tonne (g/t equals parts per million). The intervals listed in the table below are from the gold and silver bearing vein and / or adjacent low grade mineralized host rock.

Hole ID From (m) To (m) Interval Length (m) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t) Te (g/t)

The most significant gold mineralization is found in the COD Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein. The vein is mineralized with pyrite and trace chalcopyrite and telluride minerals. The hostrock near the vein is often altered and carries anomalous silver and gold values, such as at 11.80-12.60 m in DDCOD18-6 which is silicified and pyrite bearing. Silicification and chlorite alteration is texture and magnetite destructive. Strong fine disseminated pyrite is often found in these alteration zones.

Observed core vein contact angles indicate the COD vein is sub-vertical being structurally controlled by the host rock. The predominant host rock for the COD vein is a massive and competent medium grain granodiorite of the Antsey Pluton. Faulting does occur however the general north south trend of the vein is predictable.

In 2017 the Company had received analytical results for 68 trench channel samples collected at the COD Vein. These samples returned anomalous to high grade values for gold, including high values of 43.2 grams / tonne (g/t) Gold and 224 g/t Silver (News Release of July 26, 2017). The first batch of 2017 drill core samples for the COD Vein returned up to 24.1 g/t Gold and 192 g/t Silver (News Release of Aug 28, 2017). The second batch of drill core samples also returned significant gold and silver values including a broad intersection in hole COD17-14 grading 4.59 g/t Gold and 38.64 g/t Silver over 16.03 meters core length with a high grade core grading 10.96 g/t Gold and 89.86 g/t Silver over 5.97 meters core length (News Release of Sept 7, 2017).

Drill core is being geologically logged and sampled at the Greenwood facility. Drill core is sawn in half with half core samples submitted for analysis and remaining half core stored in a secure location. Core samples were delivered to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver to be analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – AA. The samples are also being analyzed for 48 Elements by Four Acid and ICP-AES / ICP-MS. Quality control (QC) samples are inserted at regular intervals.

Monarques Gold $MQR.ca Confirms Pit Constrained Resource on its Mckenzie Break #Gold Project $MUX.ca $SII.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:48 AM on Thursday, June 14th, 2018

  • The mineral resource estimate for McKenzie Break was prepared for two scenarios:
    • Scenario 1: A pit constrained Indicated resource of 48,133 ounces and Inferred resource of 14,897 ounces, and an underground Indicated resource of 53,448 ounces and Inferred resource of 49,130 ounces, for a total of 165,608 ounces of gold.
    • Scenario 2: An underground Indicated resource of 85,059 ounces and Inferred resource of 58,373 ounces, for a total of 143,432 ounces of gold.
  • Monarques Gold now has a combined measured and indicated resource of more than 3 million ounces of gold (see table at the end of press release).

MONTREAL, June 14, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSX-V:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report the results of a mineral resource estimate for its McKenzie Break gold project 35 km north of Val-d’Or, Québec. Monarques can acquire a 100% interest in the property from Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM, TSX:AEM) over a four-year period (see press release dated December 21, 2017). The report was prepared by Alain-Jean Beauregard (P.Geo.) and Daniel Gaudreault (Eng.) of Geologica Groupe-Conseil Inc., and Christian D’Amours (P.Geo.) of GeoPointCom Inc., qualified persons as defined by NI 43-101. The estimate was prepared by GeoPointCom Inc. and is dated April 17, 2018.

Following a careful and detailed review of the old holes logs, and thanks to the 3D compilation of the drilling data, it was possible to identify about 11 new mineralized structures. These mineralized zones are located near, above and below the 12 Green and Orange zones and associated known sub-zones. With approximately 23 associated gold structures, it is now possible to consider the possibility of a pit-constrained operation as presented in Scenario 1.

“The results of this resource estimate are better than we anticipated, mainly due to the pit constrained potential,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “The pit constrained resource is easily accessible as the average overburden thickness is only 5 metres wide, meaning that we could put the McKenzie Break project into production relatively quickly. With our Beacon Mill less than 20 km away scheduled to restart in the last quarter of 2018, we could potentially use this resource as additional feed for the mill. We think this could be a cost-effective strategy for this project, and we will now work on increasing the potential of the pit constrained resource.”

The McKenzie Break property is located in an area with existing infrastructure and several mills. It has surface and underground infrastructure, including a ramp down to a depth of 80 metres below surface. The main Green and Orange zones were drilled on a tight grid to define the resource. The mineralization consists of multiple, narrow and at times anastomosing high-grade veins. Assay results can be erratic due to the nugget effect of the gold.

The database contains conventional analytical gold assay results for 258 surface diamond drill holes, as well as coded lithology from the drill core logs (except for the Series WD04 and WD05 holes). This represents 39,611 m of core for a total of 14,758 m assayed core. The database does not include results for QA/QC samples. At least one of the mineralized zones or the potential pit mineralized material covered by the estimate was intersected in 244 of the holes. This represents 3,411 intersections (including 1,817 in the mineralized zone) for 56,141 composites (including 5,488 in the mineralized zone).

The report covers two scenarios. The first scenario has two elements: a proposed pit constrained operation for the near-surface mineralized material and an underground operation for the remaining zones deep underground. The second scenario contemplates an underground operation only.

River Valley Platinum Group Metals Project, Sudbury Ontario

  1. 1.New Age Metals (NAM) flagship project is the River Valley Project, which is the largest undeveloped primary PGM resource in North America, with 4.6 Moz PdEq in Measured Plus Indicated including an additional 2.6 Moz PdEq in Inferred. The River Valley PGM Project is located in Ontario and has an excellent infrastructure and is within 100 kilometers of the Sudbury Metallurgical Complex. The project is 100% owned by New Age Metals (see news releases dated March 21st, 2018 and April 11th, 2018).
  2. 2.Ground IP geophysics final report completed by Abitibi Geophysics. NAM’s Management is working with Alan King, NAM’s Sudbury Geophysical consultant, to review all geophysics and complete a separate more comprehensive report and recommendations.
  3. 3.The goal of the geophysical survey was to test various new footwall targets on the main River Valley PGM Deposit, southward of the 2016/2017 new discovery, the Pine Zone (See News Release: Jun 19th, 2017) to cover the area between target anomalies T4 through to T9 (Figure 1) which is in the northern portion of the 16km project.
  4. 4.Field crews have mobilized to begin surface exploration on the project, more specifically to complete further detailed testing of the new geophysical anomalies from the Abitibi report and to collect further samples that will be used for additional ongoing metallurgical and mineralogical testing, all of which will add to the information needed to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA).
  5. 5. The footwall PGM mineralization is new and the Pine Zone discovery has proven that it is both adjoining and adjacent to the existing mineralization and is an additional source of PGMs at the River Valley project. Several new large anomalies have been identified in the northern portion of the project and will be ground proofed in the summer and fall of 2018.
  6. 6.NAM’s management is working on finalizing its selection of an experienced PGM engineering company who will help NAM’s technical team to complete this projects first Economic study, a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), on NAM’s 100% owned River Valley PGM Project.
  7. 7.NAM’s Lithium Division has a minimum commitment of $600,000 of exploration, leading to late summer/fall drill programs on NAM’s eight Lithium Project in Southeast Manitoba (see news release June 6th, 2018), which is financed by NAM’s option/joint-venture partner Azincourt Energy Corp. (TSX.V:AAZ)

June 13th, 2018 / TheNewswire / Rockport, Ontario, Canada – New Age Metals Inc. (TSX.V: NAM; OTCQB: PAWEF; FSE: P7J.F) is pleased to announce that the Abitibi geophysical report for the River Valley Project is complete. All past and present geophysical reports are being reviewed by Alan King, the company’s Sudbury based Geophysical Consultant, and Mr. King’s objective is to work with NAM’s technical team to recommend a two phase drill program for the Northern portion of the River Valley Project based on several large new anomalies which appear to be adjacent to our existing mineralization.

The anomalies will be examined in 2018 in the field and if warranted, added to the two phase drill programs. Alan King’s report will include specific recommendations for drilling in the northern portion of the River Valley Project.

The ground geophysical survey performed was a high-resolution OreVision(R) IP survey performed by Abitibi Geophysics (Thunder Bay, Ontario). OreVision IP can reveal targets at four times the depth of conventional IP without compromising near-surface resolution. The goal of the geophysical survey was to test the footwall portion to the main River Valley PGM Deposit, southward of the Pine Zone IP survey (News Release: Jun 19th, 2017, and May 8th,2018) and to cover the area between target anomalies T4 to T9 (Figure 1). This area represents a survey strike length of approximately 2000 metres.

An initial review of the chargeability plan map from the Abitibi report (Figure 2) shows a good correlation with the River Valley PGM Deposit at surface and the recent footwall discoveries in the Pine Zone. The mineralization zone (red unit on Figure 2, RV Mineralized Breccia Zone) has a well-defined geophysical signature (blue) on the chargeability map (Figure 2). This will be a strong exploration tool in going forward in planning new drill targets into the main zone and into the footwall. The main mineralization corresponds well and correlates with the chargeability feature. This feature extends the length of the survey and as mentioned, corresponds with the location of the surface mineralization. Figure 2 is the chargeability at the 125 meter level above sea level. A further review notes that the Pine Zone (footwall mineralization) extends perpendicular to near perpendicular from the chargeability feature. Elsewhere along the extent of the chargeability feature are other perpendicular to near perpendicular features similar to the area of the Pine Zone Figure 2 – Zones of Interest).

These anomalies will be further examined in the field as they may indicate other areas of footwall mineralization as seen at the Pine Zone.

ABOUT NAM’S LITHIUM DIVISION

The summer/fall exploration plan has begun for the company’s Lithium Division. NAM has 100% ownership of eight pegmatite hosted Lithium Projects in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field, located in SE Manitoba, with focus on Lithium bearing pegmatites. Three of the projects are drill ready. This Pegmatite Field hosts the world class Tanco Pegmatite that has been mined for Tantalum, Cesium and Spodumene (one of the primary Lithium ore minerals) in varying capacities, since 1969. NAM’s Lithium Projects are strategically situated in this prolific Pegmatite Field. Presently, NAM is the largest mineral claim holder for Lithium and Rare Metal projects in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field.

Lithium Canada Development is a 100% owned subsidiary of New Age Metals (NAM) who presently has an agreement with Azincourt Energy Corporation (AAZ) whereby AAZ will now commit on its first year a minimum of $600,000 in 2018. In its initial earn in AAZ may earn up to 50%, of the eight Lithium projects that are 100% owned by NAM. AAZ’s 50% exploration expenditure earn in is approximately $2.950 million and should they continue with their option they must issue up to 1.75 million shares of AAZ to NAM. NAM has a 2% royalty on each of eight Lithium Projects in this large pegmatite field. For additional information on the NAM/AAZ option/joint-venture and recent acquisitions (see the news releases dated Jan 15, 2018, May 2, 2018, May 10, 2018).

ABOUT NAM’S PGM DIVISION

NAM’s flagship project is its 100% owned River Valley PGM Project (NAM Website – River Valley Project) in the Sudbury Mining District of Northern Ontario (100 km east of Sudbury, Ontario). Presently the River Valley Project is North America’s largest undeveloped primary PGM deposit with Measured + Indicated resources of 160 million tones @ 0.44 g/t Palladium, 0.17 g/t Platinum, 0.03 g/t Gold, with a total metal grade of 0.64 g/t at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t equating to 3,297,173 ounces PGM plus Gold and 4,626,250 PdEq Ounces (Table 1). This equates to 4,626,250 PdEq ounces M+I and 2,713,933 PdEq ounces in inferred (see May 8th, 2018 press release). Having completed a 2018 NI-43-101 resource update the company is finalizing its 2018 exploration programs which will include geophysics, and extensive drill programs, which are all working towards the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). Our objective is to develop a series of open pits (bulk mining) over the 16 kilometers of mineralization, concentrate on site, and ship the concentrates to the long-established Sudbury Metallurgical Complex. On May 23rd, 2018, NAM’s board approved a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on River Valley Platinum Group Metals Project’s. Management is currently finalizing its selection of a 3rd party engineering company to complete this PEA. This will be the first economic study on the project. Alaska: April 4th, 2018, NAM signed an agreement with one of Alaska’s top geological consulting companies. The companies stated objective is to acquire additional PGM and Rare Metal projects in Alaska. On April 18th, 2018, NAM announced the right to purchase 100% of the Genesis PGM Project, NAM’s first Alaskan PGM acquisition related to the April 4th agreement. The Genesis PGM Project is a road accessible, under explored, highly prospective, multi-prospect drill ready Pd-Pt-Ni-Cu property.
