TREATY CREEK JV PROJECT FINALLY IN THE SPOTLIGHT?
- BC’s “Golden Triangle†has just experienced its greatest year of mineral exploration in the last decade
- All indicators are showing that the upcoming 2018 season promises to be far more significant, especially for the Treaty Creek Project and adjoining neighbours
February 15, 2018Â – AMERICAN CREEK RESOURCESÂ TSX-V: AMK
BC’s “Golden Triangle†has just experienced its greatest year of mineral exploration in the last decade. All indicators are showing that the upcoming 2018 season promises to be far more significant, especially for the Treaty Creek Project and adjoining neighbours.
On January 31, 2018 Seabridge stated that the size and grade of their Lower Iron Cap zone (located approximately 600m west of the Treaty Creek property boundary) is so significant that it has the ability to reduce initial capital expenditures and increase initial higher-grade feed for a KSM mine. This has the potential to dramatically improve the feasibility and to rapidly accelerate the development of the KSM project.
On February 13, 2018 Seabridge released a new updated resource calculation on the Iron Cap (and Lower Iron Cap zone) of a staggering 25 million ounces gold, 10 billion pounds copper and 170 million ounces silver, all categories included!
http://seabridgegold.net/News/Article/705/seabridge-gold-increases-estimated-gold-copper-resource
This appears to be THE catalyst in advancing the KSM project as analysts recently stated:
“We believe a number of top-tier base metal and gold miners are lining up to offer JV terms to Seabridge on KSM. Based on management commentary, we are pushing this event to April/May next year (2018), from our previous estimate of exit 2017”.
Seabridge moving towards production has very positive implications for Treaty Creek as Seabridge’s feasibility study includes building roads from Highway 37 to within a couple kilometers of the Copper Belle gold zone on Treaty Creek. In order to actually get any gold out of their project, Seabridge has also proposed twin access tunnels to be constructed through the Treaty Creek property. The proposed tunnel route passes through the area in which the Copper Belle and GR2 discoveries are being drilled.
On February 13, 2018 Tudor Gold stated their intention to dramatically increase the scale of the drill program on the Copper Belle zone taking it from 27 holes in 2017 to 50-60 holes this year! Given this increase, the tremendous success of the 2017 drill program, and the maiden resource calculation scheduled to come out shortly, the 2018 Treaty Creek program has the potential to be one of the most significant developments in the Golden Triangle.
Walter Storm, President and CEO of Tudor Gold recently commented on the project. He stated: “As we analyze Treaty Creek from an overview perspective we find a very compelling image:  Our discoveries, as expected, are closely related to the now-famous “Red Line” (Triassic/Jurassic contact), as predicted in the seminal research report by British Columbia government geologists Kyba and Nelson. The Sulphurets Fault (coincident with the Red Line), weaves its way for over 20 kms from the southern end where the Kerr, Kerr Deep and Valley of the Kings deposits are located, winding its way northward through the Sulphurets, Mitchell, Snowfields, Iron Cap and Iron Cap Deep discoveries before crossing into Treaty Creek and up to the Copper Belle and GR2 zones. As observed in the Kyba/Nelson research report, major discoveries lie generally within 2 kms of the Red Line and that is the case with all these deposits. Tudor has a 3 km unexplored gap between the Copper Belle discovery and the Seabridge Gold’s Iron Cap deposit, in which our MagnetoTelluric Geophysics survey identifies strong anomalous targets that have not yet been drilled. Results from Tudor Gold’s drilling in 2017 show that in the Copper Bell zone, gold mineralization is expanding northward and eastward with improving grades, increasing copper and silver credits, not to mention other promising areas within the zone like Hole CB-17-26 which returned 149.1m of 1.78 g/t gold.
This prolific hdyrothermal system which hosts the many gold deposits of Seabridge Gold and Pretium Resources, as well as the nascent gold mineralization currently being drilled on Tudor Gold’s Treaty Creek property, is known as one of the seven largest hydrothermal systems in the world for hosting porphyry-type mineral deposits of gold and copper-gold (Alldrick). Moreover, Seabridge Gold’s KSM property is currently recognized as hosting the world’s largest undeveloped reserves of copper and gold. In close proximity to these reserves are Pretium Resources’ very large, porphyry gold Snowfields deposit and its high-grade, Valley of the Kings gold mine, the latter recently having entered into commercial production. This is an excellent area in which to be looking for another “elephant” and early indications are that mineralization continues onto the Treaty property, right past an arbitrary line called a ‘claim boundary’.”
Tudor Gold has released an updated presentation that summarizes the past 2017 program and highlights the upcoming plans for 2018. You can view it here:
For further insights on Treaty Creek and where the project is headed, you can watch this recent interview:
http://americancreek.com/index.php/projects/management-interviews
The exploration season ahead clearly has the potential to be transformational with significant advances being made on both the KSM and the adjoining Treaty Creek Project.
The Treaty Creek Project may finally get the attention and recognition it deserves.
The Treaty Creek Project is a joint venture between Tudor, Teuton Resources Corp., and American Creek. Tudor is the operator and holds a 60% interest with both American Creek and Teuton each holding respective 20% carried interests in the property (American Creek and Teuton are not required to contribute to their proportionate costs until a production notice is given).

About American Creek
American Creek holds a strong portfolio of gold and silver properties in British Columbia. The portfolio includes three gold/silver properties in the heart of the Golden Triangle; the Treaty Creek and Electrum joint ventures with Walter Storm/Tudor, as well as the recently acquired 100% owned past producing Dunwell Mine. Other properties held throughout BC include the Gold Hill, Austruck-Bonanza, Ample Goldmax, Silver Side, and Glitter King.

HPQ Silicon $HPQ.ca Reports 1,900 % Increase In Total Mass Of Silicon Metal Produced By Gen2 PUREVAP Versus Baseline Gen1 Result $FSLR $SPWR $CSIQ $NEP
Posted by
at 7:26 AM on Thursday, February 15th, 2018
- 1,900 % Increase In Total Mass Of Silicon Metal Produced By Gen2 PUREVAP Versus Baseline Gen1 Result
- Total mass of Si produced during Gen2 test #007 was 28.1 grams; 20 times greater than the baseline Gen1 test #63 result of 1.4 grams and 1.4 times greater than Gen2 test # 003 result of 19.9 grams1;
MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Feb. 15, 2018) – HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (“HPQ”) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ)(FRANKFURT:UGE)(OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to inform shareholders that PyroGenesis Canada Inc (PyroGenesis) has submitted an updated progress report on the ongoing Gen2 PUREVAPTM Quartz Reduction Reactor (“QRR”) test work. The Gen2 PUREVAP™ process improvements and design modifications continue to produce very encouraging results.
GEN2 AN INVALUABLE BENCH TEST PLATFORM TO COMMERCIAL SCALABILITY OF PUREVAP™ QRR
Increasing yield (Si quantity) and Production Yield of Gen2 PUREVAP™ are key objectives of the ongoing program. The results include the latest tests completed, which attained the following key milestones:
- Total mass of Si produced during Gen2 test #007 was 28.1 grams; 20 times greater than the baseline Gen1 test #63 result of 1.4 grams and 1.4 times greater than Gen2 test # 003 result of 19.9 grams1;
- Gen2 test #007 28.1 grams is the highest quantity of Si produced to date: 3.2 times greater than the best results of 8.8 grams from Gen1 test #322;
- Gen2 test #007 achieved a Production Yield3 of 13.4%, the highest to date: ten times greater than baseline Gen1 test #63 Production Yield of 1.3% and 1.8 times greater than Gen2 test # 003 Production Yield of 7.4%;
PRODUCTION YIELD A KEY CONTRIBUTING FACTOR THE FINAL PURITY
Gen1 testing confirmed the key relationship between production yield and purity (November 1 2017 release) and from these results and ongoing tests PyroGenesis extrapolated as follows:
- These results support the expectation that under a semi-continuous PUREVAPTM process, assuming standard production yield of 90%, it would be possible to transform Quartz (SiO2) into Silicon Metal (Si) with purity levels acceptable to the solar industry (4N+ or 99.998% Si)(4);
- The positive correlation between production yield, purity, and PUREVAPTM QRR reactor size is optimized with a 50 Tonne per year reactor;
- The Gen2 PUREVAP™ reactor capacity has limited achievable production yield at 15% (± 3%).
IMPLEMENTING ADDITIONAL METHODS TO INCREASE PURITY BECOMES KEY FOCUS
With the Gen2 reactor now operating within the 90th percentile of its achievable production yield, test work in the current phase will concentrate on establishing a repeatable process at maximum yield prior to moving on to implementing and testing additional pathways to increase the final purity of the Si produced.
Purity of Gen 2 test #007 material was analyzed at (CM)2 (École Polytechnique de Montréal) using the SEM-EDS method(5) and result confirmed, as expected, the production of 99.9+% pure Si, using low purity feedstock, 98.84% SiO2.
Subsequent Si produced will be sent to outside laboratories for bulk purity analysis using ICP-OES (inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry). In this area, the expertise of Apollon Solar will be a great advantage given their long track record of conducting these types of tests for material very similar to the one currently being produced by the Company.
Bernard J. Tourillon, Chairman and CEO of HPQ Silicon stated, “Our methodical approach is yielding exciting results and the Gen2 is proving to be an invaluable bench test platform for testing new design and process improvements prior to the final design and assembly of the pilot plant equipment later this year. Our objective for 2018 continue to be building on our technical successes as we get ready to commence the Pilot Plant phase with our ‘Solar Silicon Team’ of Pyrogenesis and Apollon Solar, as well as, building market awareness of our progress and plans. With every successful milestone, we are de-risking our project, while our ongoing tests are providing valuable information to implement the adjustments needed to produce the Solar Grade Silicon Metal necessary for the manufacture of multi and monocrystalline solar cells for high performance photovoltaic conversion.”

KEY MILESTONES MOVING FORWARD
Milestones of the GEN2 PUREVAP™ program in 2018 are:
- Tapping Silicon Metal from the Gen 2 PUREVAP™;
- Increasing Production Yield of Gen 2 PUREVAP™ over multiple test cycles from high grade feedstock;
- Testing the Purity of the Si produced and implementing additional methods to increase the final purity of the Si produced;
- Testing electrical parameters of the High Purity Si;
- Provide additional data to calculate the economics of PUREVAP™ QRR.
- Adapt the methods and processes developed in GEN2 PUREVAPTM to the final design and assembly of the Pilot Plant equipment.

How to Invest in Canada’s Coming Legal #Cannabis Boom $N.ca $TBP.ca $MCOA
Posted by
at 4:23 PM on Tuesday, February 13th, 2018
- In just the first six weeks of 2018, 15 of Canada’s 28 public cannabis companies have raised a combined C$1.2 billion selling securities.
- Many investors have opted instead to focus on Canada, which has a federally legal medical cannabis program and is on the cusp of becoming the first country with federally legal access for all adults
Investing in US-based cannabis companies can be tricky, but Canadian-based companies have few of the same legal risks. (MJ_Prototype/iStock)
For those looking to invest in the legal cannabis industry, companies in the U.S. offer a quandary. Since cannabis remains federally illegal, these companies are all at risk of prosecution, a risk that may have increased earlier this year when Jeff Sessions rescinded the Cole Memo, the departmental guidance that protected states and operators as long as they adhered to the memo’s eight principles.
In just the first six weeks of 2018, 15 of Canada’s 28 public cannabis companies have raised a combined C$1.2 billion selling securities.
Many investors have opted instead to focus on Canada, which has a federally legal medical cannabis program and is on the cusp of becoming the first country with federally legal access for all adults.
What makes the Canadian cannabis sector even more interesting than its ability to service its own population legally is that many of the licensed producers (LPs) are actively involved in international markets like Europe, Australia, Latin America and Israel.
These companies are not only able to export but are also in the process of applying for licenses to operate cultivation facilities in conjunction with local investors. Germany is a particularly exciting medical cannabis market due to insurance reimbursement and distribution through traditional pharmacies.
Your Options: 28 Public Companies
Health Canada, which oversees the licensing and regulation of the Canadian cannabis industry, has approved 89 licenses, some of which have been awarded to companies holding multiple licenses. There are 28 cannabis companies that trade publicly on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the TSX Venture Exchange or the Canadian Securities Exchange. Many of these have U.S. listings as well on the OTC.
So far in just the first six weeks of 2018, 15 of these public companies have raised a combined C$1.17 billion selling securities. This access to capital is a big difference between Canadian and U.S. cannabis companies. I expect that there will be another five or so trading publicly within the next three months.
I’ve created an index for those interested in tracking the performance of this sector: the Canadian Cannabis LP Index. I break it into three different segments, including Tier 1, the largest producers, Tier 2, those that are generating sales but not at the same scale as the leaders, and Tier 3, those companies that have received their license to cultivate but aren’t yet permitted to sell. Overall, the sector has performed very well over the past two years, though it has undergone a sharp correction over the past few weeks.
The top tier includes six companies that are all generating annual sales in excess of C$16 million. These include Aurora Cannabis, Aphria, CanniMed Therapeutics, MedReleaf, CannTrust Holdings and Canopy Growth. CanniMed and Aurora Cannabis are in the process of merging, with an expected closing next month. Note that Aurora Cannabis and Canopy Growth are clients of New Cannabis Ventures, where I serve as managing partner. This article is not intended to be a recommendation of these companies or any others that I mention.
Daily Trading Exceeds C$1 Billion
With the exception of CannTrust, which trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange, each of the others trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The combined daily trading value of Aphria, Aurora Cannabis and Canopy Growth has been exceeding C$1 billion regularly, meaning that investors can buy and sell these names without moving the market. The other 22 publicly-traded companies also provide reasonable liquidity for the most part.
At least two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are heavily invested in Canadian LPs.
U.S. investors interested in buying Canadian licensed producers are best off opening an account that allows them to buy and sell Canadian securities directly, but it is also possible to buy the U.S. listings.
Another alternative is to consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs). I wasn’t a fan of Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF when it debuted in April, but it has improved. At this point, Canadian LPs make up more than 80% of the Horizon ETF’s holdings. The fund manager is launching a second ETF this week, the Emerging Marijuana Growers Index ETF, which includes smaller companies, over half of which are Canadian LPs.
High Valuations, Higher Expectations
Despite the recent decline in prices, the valuations of Canadian LPs are high relative to their current rate of sales. Still, with legalization kicking in later this year, future sales are expected to rise substantially. Canopy Growth and Aurora Cannabis have market capitalizations of about C$6 billion, followed by Aphria at C$2.8 billion, MedReleaf at C$1.9 billion, CanniMed at C$882 million and CannTrust at C$793 million. The U.S market caps are about 20% lower based on the current Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.795.
Bottom line: Canadian cannabis companies are perhaps safer investments than those in the U.S. due to being federally legal, but they have performed very well and may be overvalued despite a recent sell-off. Investors looking to capitalize on global cannabis opportunities should consider exploring this group of companies, which currently numbers 28 and is likely to expand in the near term.
Next up: I discuss the hazards of investing in the stocks of publicly-traded producers of CBD from industrial hemp.
As an owner of New Cannabis Ventures, Alan Brochstein works with several publicly-traded and privately held cannabis companies as he discloses here. In the event he mentions a company that is a client, he will disclose it in the article as well.Source: https://www.leafly.com/news/industry/how-to-invest-in-canadas-coming-legal-cannabis-boom
