Sna

  • Announced the appointment of Salwan Aviation Group as its sole and exclusive Distributor in India for all Star products;
  • As well as the opening of a Star office in New Delhi to provide technical, engineering and sales support
  • Agreement provides for an initial term of one year

TORONTO, March 01, 2018 – Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE:SNA) (CSE:SNA.CN) (OTCQB:SNAVF) (“Star” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Salwan Aviation Group as its sole and exclusive Distributor in India for all Star products, as well as the opening of a Star office in New Delhi to provide technical, engineering and sales support. The Salwan agreement provides for an initial term of one (1) year, renewable upon the achievement of sales targets.

The decision to create this partnership with Salwan Aviation and commit resources to India was driven by two important industry reports issued in the fourth quarter of 2017 as follows;

INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION (IATA) REPORT PROJECTS SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH OF INDIAN AVIATION MARKET

A report published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in October 2017 concluded the following:

1.  India will become the third largest aviation market in the world by 2025.

2.  Indian airlines have over 800 planes on order and in the next five years are set to add 350-400 aircraft. Currently, all Indian airlines put together have a fleet of approximately 500 aircraft.

3.  By 2036, India air passenger traffic will reach 478 million, surpassing air passenger traffic of Japan and Germany combined.  Current India air passenger traffic totals 114 million.

CENTRE FOR ASIA PACIFIC AVIATION (CAPA) REPORT PROJECTS SUBSTANTIAL JOB GROWTH WITHIN INDIAN AVIATION INDUSTRY

A report published by the Centre For Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) in November 2017 concluded the following:

1.  By 2027, India’s aviation market will generate close to 2.6 million direct and indirect jobs.

2.  By 2027, India will need 16,800 pilots compared to the current total of 6,772 pilots.

3.  By 2027, growth in cabin crew jobs will increase from the current 11,000 to 26,325.

4.  By 2027, growth in maintenance engineers will increase from the current 14,420 to 34,972.

Viraf Kapadia, Chairman &CEO said: “The growth figures for aviation in India are massive and irrefutable after reading these reports.  However, we believe this level of growth in aircraft, pilots and maintenance engineers will also pose safety and security challenges that will require the assistance of leading products and solutions from Star Navigation. Moreover, the ROI of our solutions will help these airlines reduce costs and run more efficiently in what is bound to be a very competitive market. The appointment of Salwan Aviation will ensure that Star will be part of those conversations from the very beginning.”

SALWAN AVIATION

Salwan Aviation is the newly formed division of Salwan Group, a company that has experienced great success in India across multiple industries for more than 30 years.  The company’s proven management team and extensive network will be invaluable to introducing Star to India’s airline industry. Salwan Group will utilize Stars’ registered Indian patent #209558 to meet their marketing and sales objectives.

Amit Salwan, Executive Director of Salwan Aviation Group stated “We are deeply honored to be appointed exclusive distributor in India for Star Navigation. We have been aware of Star’s efforts in India since 2008 with recommendations for their technology by India’s DGCA. India will be one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world expecting an additional 800 additional aircraft in the next 5 years. We have positioned our company to be a key player in India’s aviation industry by retrofitting aircraft with Star’s leading technology.”

“Monarques was truly successful in its first quarter as a gold producer,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “I am proud of the results achieved by the entire Monarques team, which allowed us to surpass our production cost targets. We also managed to generate a positive EBITDA for the quarter.”

“In addition, 2018 will be a very active year for Monarques on the exploration side. We have allocated significant amounts to increasing the reserve at the Beaufor Mine and extending the mine’s life, as well as increasing the resource at the Croinor Gold deposit, which continues to develop in line with our expectations. The results of the latest drilling programs on Beaufor and Croinor Gold show that those deposits have excellent exploration potential. We have also undertaken 43‑101 resource estimates for the McKenzie Break and Swanson properties and are currently planning our development strategy for the Wasamac gold deposit,” Mr. Lacoste concluded.

Financial results summary

Corporate highlights

  • On October 2, 2017, Monarques completed the acquisition of the Quebec assets of Richmont Mines in conjunction with the closing of a $6.5 million financing and a US $4.0 million credit facility (see press release).
  • On October 26, 2017, the Corporation announced the results of an updated NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate for its wholly owned Wasamac gold project establishing a measured and indicated resource of 2,587,900 ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 293,900 ounces (see press release).
  • On December 14, 2017, Monarques announced strong results from its drilling program on the Croinor Gold deposit, including 7.84 g/t Au over 9.0 metres (29.5 feet) (see press release). The Corporation noted that the new results continued to demonstrate the predictability of the geological model used, and that the Croinor Gold deposit remains open laterally and at depth.
  • On December 21, 2017, Monarques announced the acquisition of the McKenzie Break and Swanson gold properties from Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM, TSX:AEM) (see press release). The transaction enabled the Corporation to consolidate its portfolio of properties in the Abitibi region with the addition of two high quality gold projects that, with the Wasamac and Croinor Gold properties, bring Monarques’ total number of advanced projects to four.
  • On January 11, 2018, the Corporation reported excellent results from its drilling program at the Beaufor Mine, including 61.48 g/t Au over 3.9 metres (see press release), confirming the strong exploration potential in the area to the east of Zone Q.
  • On February 8, 2018, Monarques announced a positive updated prefeasibility study for the Croinor Gold deposit (see press release).

Next steps

  • Monarques’ goal for the coming quarters is to increase the profitability of the Beaufor mine, mainly by cutting production costs and increasing the grade through more selective mining. Production costs will be reduced through higher productivity at the Camflo Mill, among other things, with the increase in custom milling activities.
  • Monarques has announced drilling programs of 30,000 metres at the Beaufor Mine and 20,000 metres at the Croinor Gold deposit. The Corporation has also started 43-101 resource estimates for its McKenzie Break and Swanson gold projects.
  • The Corporation will also assess the possibility of restarting the Beacon Mill in the second half of the year to accommodate an anticipated increase in demand for custom milling services.
  • Finally, the Corporation is exploring a number of options for the development of the Wasamac gold deposit, including custom milling and the use of a railway system (located less than 500 metres from the Wasamac site).

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Marc-André Lavergne, Eng., the Corporation’s qualified person under National Instrument 43‑101.

TORONTO — Licensed producer Aurora Cannabis has signed a deal to supply medical marijuana to Shoppers Drug Mart.

The agreement is subject to Health Canada’s approval of the pharmacy chain’s application to dispense medical cannabis.

Aurora’s products are expected to be sold online, as current Canadian regulations prohibit the sale of medical marijuana in pharmacy locations.

Shoppers Drug Mart’s deal with Aurora comes after it recently signed similar deals with licensed medical marijuana producers Aphria, MedReleaf and Tilray.

The pharmacy chain’s parent company Loblaw Companies Ltd. applied in October 2016 for a license to dispense medical marijuana.

Other pharmacies have also lined up similar supply agreements, such as deals between Maricann Group. and Lovell Drugs and CanniMed Therapeutics and PharmaChoice.

2018 Social Media trends $PEEK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:27 PM on Tuesday, February 27th, 2018
  • Live streaming will continue to dominate social media
  • Video will continue to grow as it has for the past couple years
Milo Loftin

Writer, entrepreneur and social media influencer Natalie Zfat joined Good Morning San Diego to talk about the the social media trends of 2018.

When she’s not engaging with her 450K followers, Natalie loves sharing her entrepreneurial thought leadership at conferences and universities, including Carnegie Mellon, Parsons: NYU Stern School of Business, Internet of Things World and SXSW.writer, entrepreneur and social media influencer with a professional mantra that success means never doing the same thing twice (unless it was really fun the first time).

The top five social media trends for 2018.

5. Ephemeral Content will be dominating social media. Ephemeral content is content that is short-lived, typically expiring in 24 hrs like that of Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook stories. Viewed as more authentic by viewers than long living content or branded and sponsored posts.

4. Video will continue to grow as it has for the past couple years. They have been shown to promote higher interactions, likes, retweets, shares, etc. – integrating video content into social strategies and tying it into all written content will be pivotal in 2018.

3. Influencers aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In 2018 expect to see more brands embracing influencers and in doing so finding more authentic ways to connect with current and new audiences.

2. Live streaming will continue to dominate social media for an array of brands from news networks to fashion designers. This will begin to be a more integral part of social media strategies for smaller and medium-sized brands, who can share unique content to build and grow their audiences.

1. Regulations: We are also likely to see a change in the way that social media platforms are managed. There is still a need to more successfully regulate inappropriate content – and the Russian bots that have promoted rhetoric across social platforms have boosted this need. We may see changes to social media agreements and how our content is viewed and approved.
