Monarques Gold $MQR.ca intersects 61.48 g/t Au over 3.9 metres (12.8 feet) at the Beaufor Mine $MUX.ca $SII.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:54 AM on Thursday, January 11th, 2018

  • New zones subparallel to Zone Q intersected with significant grades of:
    • 61.48 g/t Au over 3.9 metres, including 361.00 g/t Au over 0.7 metres
    • 39.05 g/t Au over 1.8 metres, including 99.95 g/t Au over 0.7 metres
    • 15.44 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, including 49.55 g/t Au over 0.8 metres
  • A new area, Zone 1700, returns a grade of:
    • 12.33 g/t Au over 1.6 metres, including 36.25 g/t Au over 0.5 metres

MONTREAL, Jan. 11, 2018  – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSX.V:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report the results of its exploration drilling program at the Beaufor Mine. The 2,239-metre program was aimed at increasing the resource in two sectors of the Beaufor Mine, Zone Q and Zone 1700.

Zone Q Sector

Zone Q is the main zone of current production at the Beaufor Mine.

Two new holes were drilled in the eastern extension of Zone Q, outside the known mineralized envelope, to test the continuity of the structure and check for the presence of mineralized veins in the hangingwall and footwall of the zone. Holes 150-60a and 150-61 (see Sections 1810E and 1855E) were drilled to a depth of 534 and 558 metres, respectively. They intersected Zone Q, as well as several mineralized veins (QH Zone) located 20 to 60 metres from the hangingwall of the zone. A number of mineralized veins were also intersected 10 to 100 metres away from the Zone Q footwall (QF Zone).

These new mineralized zones are similar in nature to the typical known veins at the Beaufor Mine, which are quartz-tourmaline veins with disseminated pyrite associated with diorite dikes.

The best results returned by Zones QH and QF were as follows:

  • Hole 150-60a intersected 15.44 g/t Au over 3.0 metres, including 49.55 g/t Au over 0.8 metres; and 7.70 g/t Au over 2.0 metres, including 14.10 g/t Au over 0.5 metres.
  • Hole 150-61 intersected 61.48 g/t Au over 3.9 metres, including 361.00 g/t Au over 0.7 metres; and 39.05 g/t Au over 1.8 metres, including 99.95 g/t Au over 0.7 metres.

These two holes, spaced at about 45 metres apart, appear to confirm the lateral continuity of Zone QH and Zone Q, which may remain open to the east.

“These initial drill results confirm the strong exploration potential in the area to the east of Zone Q,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “The intersection of several lenses with significant grades on both sides of the zone is ample reason to explore the area in more detail. Our strategy is to continue testing the mineralization in the east and at depth in order to increase the mineral resource at the Beaufor Mine.”

Zone 1700 Sector

The Zone 1700 sector lies east of the 1500 level of the Beaufor Mine, 458 metres below surface. A few historical holes intersected mineralized lenses with gold values of over 3 g/t.

Four new holes were drilled to test the extensions of those mineralized lenses. The results for holes 152-18, 160-14, 168-04 and 176-01 provided a better understanding of the structure and size of the lenses (see 1500 level plan). Zone 1700 remains open vertically but is not laterally continuous and may be confined by two structures striking N80°.

The most significant grades were intersected in holes 160-14 and 152-18 and appear to indicate the presence of two new zones:

  • Hole 160-14 intersected 10.75 g/t Au over 0.7 metres; 12.33 g/t Au over 1.6 metre, including 36.25 g/t Au over 0.5 metres; and 10.42 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, including 20.30 g/t Au over 0.5 metres.
  • Hole 152-18 intersected 14.25 g/t Au over 0.5 metres.

The extensions of these mineralized lenses are still not well defined and additional drilling is needed for a better understanding of their geometry.

Quality control and qualified person
Sampling normally consists of sawing the core into two equal halves along its main axis and shipping one of the halves to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Val-d’Or for assaying. The samples are crushed, pulverized and assayed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish. Results exceeding 10.0 g/t are re-assayed using the gravity method. Certified standards and blanks are inserted into the sampling stream for quality control purposes.

The technical and scientific content of this press release has been reviewed and approved by Élise Bourgault, P.Geo., the Corporation’s qualified person under National Instrument 43‑101.

2018 Ground Geophysics Update at the River Valley Platinum Group Metals #PGM #Palladium Project, Sudbury Mining District, Ontario $N.ca $WG.ca $XTM.ca $WM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:59 PM on Wednesday, January 10th, 2018

New age large

  • Line cutting is near completion in the footwall region of the River Valley Deposit
  • Ground IP geophysics on new footwall discovery will commence January 20th to test the footwall regions of the T4 to T9 anomalies
  • Footwall PGM mineralization is a new and additional source of PGMs at the River Valley project and it will be included in the new resource model.
  • Updated NI 43-101 resource calculations with WSP Canada have commenced and will include all the new data on the deposit and the recently acquired southern extension.
  • The new resource calculation is expected to be completed in Q1-2018
  • Mineralogical testing is ongoing
  • River Valley is the Largest Undeveloped Primary PGM resource in Canada, with 3.9Moz PdEq in Measured Plus Indicated including an additional 1.2Moz PdEq in Inferred and has excellent infrastructure within 100 kilometers to the Sudbury Metallurgical complex.
  • The Price of Pallidum the prominent metal at River Valley is trading at $1,078USD (Jan 10, 2018) near its all-time high based on limited supply and increasing demand.

Vancouver, Canada / January 10, 2018 – New Age Metals Inc. (TSX.V: NAM; OTCQB: PAWEF; FSE: P7J.F) is pleased to provide an update of exploration activity at the company’s River Valley PGM Deposit in Ontario. Field exploration presently is concentrated on the upcoming ground IP geophysical survey. WSP Canada is currently working on the upgraded 43-101 compliant resource calculation and mineralogical test of the different PGM grades is ongoing.

The geophysical survey will be 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 is 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 to cover the area between target anomalies T4 to T9 (Figure 1). This area represents a survey strike length of approximately 2000 metres. The linecutting and grid is near completion and the IP crews are scheduled to mobilize on site for January 20th.

Upon completion of the geophysics, the company will outline a series of drill programs to test the geophysical anomalies generated from the survey. The goal is to examine the potential for continuous PGM mineralization into the footwall area of the main River Valley PGM Deposit.

WSP Canada (News Release: Sept 7th, 2017) is progressing through the new resource calculation for the River Valley PGM Deposit under the supervision of Todd McCracken, Manager-Mining at WSP Canada. The new resource model and calculation will incorporate all the past data, geophysics, new drilling since 2012 and the River Valley Extensions (previous Mustang Minerals ground).

In 2016, the company obtained the Mustang Minerals’ southern portion of the River Valley PGM Deposit (River Valley Extension, News Release – Oct 5th, 2016). This added 4 kilometres of mineralized strike length to the company’s River Valley PGM Deposit.

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 Canada’s largest primary undeveloped PGM deposit with Measured + Indicated resources of 91 million tonnes @ 0.58 g/t Palladium, 0.22 g/t Platinum, 0.04 g/t Gold, with a total metal grade of 1.28 g/t at a cut-off grade of 0.8 g/t PdEq for 2,463,000 ounces PGM plus Gold. This equates to 3,942,910 PdEq ounces. In the Northern portion of the project (Dana North), not including the new high-grade Pine Zone, there is 24 million tonnes @ 1.58 PdEq. The River Valley PGM-Copper-Nickel Sulphide mineralized zones remains open to expansion. The company has recently completed a drill program on the Pine and T3 Zones.

ABOUT NAM’S LITHIUM DIVISION

The Company has five pegmatite hosted Lithium Projects in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field, located in SE Manitoba. Three of the projects are drill ready

Recently NAM announced (News Release: Dec 12th, 2017) a signed Letter of Intent with Azincourt Energy Corp for the Manitoba Lithium Projects.. 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, under its subsidiary Lithium Canada Developments, is one of the largest mineral claim holders in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field and is seeking JV partners to further develop the company’s Lithium Division.

The Explosive Growth of #Esports – Trends to Watch in 2018 $GMBL $ATVI $TTWO $GAME $EPY.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:00 PM on Wednesday, January 10th, 2018

Esport accomplishments in 2017:

  • Intel Extreme Masters held its premiere tournament in Katowice, Poland with on-site attendance of 173,000 fans, making it the biggest live event in esports history
  • Blizzard opened a dedicated esports stadium called Blizzard Arena at the former studio of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
  • The League of Legends World Championship reached 60 million unique viewers online, compared to 43 million in 2016
  • Overwatch League signed 12 teams for the first-ever global city-based esports league, featuring investments made by some of the most successful owners in the world of sports: Robert Kraft (New England Patriots, New England Revolution), Jeff Wilpon (New York Mets), Stan Kroenke (Los Angeles Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids, Arsenal FC), Andy Miller (Sacramento Kings) and other noteworthy names from both traditional sports and esports

By Jesse Steinberg, Account Supervisor, Taylor

As an avid fan of video gaming and a counselor to some of the most innovative brands in the space, I can confidently say that 2017 was a banner year for esports. Just look at all of the breakthrough accomplishments last year (list after video). But first, it’s worth taking a moment to watch this video that highlights the celebrities who have made investments in esports:

Esport accomplishments in 2017:

  • Overwatch League signed 12 teams for the first-ever global city-based esports league, featuring investments made by some of the most successful owners in the world of sports: Robert Kraft (New England Patriots, New England Revolution), Jeff Wilpon (New York Mets), Stan Kroenke (Los Angeles Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Rapids, Arsenal FC), Andy Miller (Sacramento Kings) and other noteworthy names from both traditional sports and esports
  • Riot introduced a franchising model for teams powered by  investments from mostly NBA team owners and the endemic gaming space
  • Intel Extreme Masters held its premiere tournament in Katowice, Poland with on-site attendance of 173,000 fans, making it the biggest live event in esports history
  • Blizzard opened a dedicated esports stadium called Blizzard Arena at the former studio of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson
  • The League of Legends World Championship reached 60 million unique viewers online, compared to 43 million in 2016

So where does the sport evolve from here and what does it mean for current and prospective sponsors and their partners? Our experience and alliance working with client partners Comcast and Activision Blizzard (and its Overwatch League) tell us the marketing opportunities within esports will only continue to accelerate and diversify. Here are four overarching trends we’ve identified for the next 12 months within this dynamic industry:

  1. Mainstream consumer awareness of esports will grow faster than predictedWith increased investments from celebrities, teams, and non-endemic brands, it’s not a surprise that esports is growing at an unprecedented rate. Nielsen reported in 2016 that 14% of Americans aged 13 and older are avid fans of esports. And according to industry research group Newzoo, 1.3 billion people worldwide are aware of esports. That leaves more than six billion people around the world who are not aware of esports. Talk about opportunity!The reason behind esports’ record growth and global awareness is because the industry continues to blend in seamlessly with traditional sports and our cultural fabric. As an example of esports and traditional sports culture colliding, Overwatch League aired an ad on ESPN during the 2017 ESPYs awards show (you can watch it here). In case you didn’t watch it live – you’ll see more esports awareness plays like that plugged into bigger cultural moments (football Sundays maybe? Super Bowl even?) where you won’t be able to miss it.
  2. Blue chip, non-endemic brands will continue investing in esports through sponsorshipsThis trend isn’t new to 2018 since it’s technically already happening. Companies like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jack in the Box, Intel, Snickers, Coca-Cola and others are diving into the space,  innovating across an industry that has already generated  $1.5 billion in 2017 alone. At this rate, esports is projected to bring in $2.3 billion by 2022, according to statistics company SuperData.What we will see in 2018 is the accelerated pace of new brands entering the space and the sophistication and reach of these partnerships. No longer is the market so fragmented that brands can’t get a good read on their ROI. Stability and projected longevity from entities like Overwatch League and Riot’s League Championship Series will offer brands more visible, global, robust platforms from which to activate and leverage their sponsorships.
  3. More celebrities, pro athletes, and team owners will be involved in professional esports The massive growth of esports has not only caught the eyes of brands and team owners. The dizzying pace at which celebrities and pro athletes are investing in esports teams, leagues, tech companies, etc. will be an intriguing sidelight to the growing allure of esports. Just to rattle off a few names who entered the space in 2017:
    • Marshawn Lynch
    • Jennifer Lopez
    • Joe Montana
    • Shaquille O’Neal
    • Robert Kraft

      These investments are just another indication of the benefits esports has to offer. Smart investors who jump in early will ultimately reap the rewards of brand integration and awareness and increased revenue stream. This year, when the Kraft Group bought into the Overwatch League, Robert Kraft, chairman, and CEO of the Kraft Group, said this decision was made after careful and extensive research in the industry.
      “We have been exploring the esports market for a number of years and have been waiting for the right opportunity to enter,” said Kraft. “The incredible global success of Overwatch since its launch, coupled with the League’s meticulous focus on a structure and strategy that clearly represents the future of esports made this the obvious entry point for the Kraft Group.”

    Be prepared for many more global influencers to align with the sport. Remember, everyone wants to be first in line when something special rolls around and because this industry is still in its formative years, the opportunities to invest have a very high ceiling. For more on this, see the video above. 

4. Broadcast/streaming convergence as big media players battle for valuable media rights.

Are we moving to a premium viewing model in esports like some experts predict? The answer is not entirely – at least for now. But what will happen is more deals being made with significant streaming partners like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and, of course, Twitch. And when you look at the younger audience demographics, it’s easy to understand why esports has found a home on these platforms. In addition to online media, mainstream television networks will also jump in to grab a piece of this lucrative pie. In 2016, Turner made a bold move by investing in esports. This year, ESL announced a partnership with former Fox Sports chief  David Hill to launch “eSports by Hill” which will provide premium broadcast experiences to esports.

The esports industry is growing at an exponential rate year-over-year. Media rights, advertising, merchandise sales, sponsorship opportunities and revenue streams are all increasing by double digits each year  — and we see no end in sight. Taking the aforementioned four trends into account, marketers should not view esports as building toward a bubble.

With hundreds of millions of streaming hours viewed and revenue generated in this space, we can’t point to a reason why NOT to invest in an area with such a significant potential for marketers.

#Gold jumps to near 4-month high as US dollar slips sharply $AMK.ca $EXS.ca $MQR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:35 PM on Wednesday, January 10th, 2018
  • Gold jumped to its highest in nearly four months on Wednesday
  • US dollar tumbled to a six-week low versus the Japanese yen and slid against the euro,
  • lifting assets priced in the US currency and offsetting a rise in global yields

LONDON (Jan 10): Gold jumped to its highest in nearly four months on Wednesday as the US dollar tumbled to a six-week low versus the Japanese yen and slid against the euro, lifting assets priced in the US currency and offsetting a rise in global yields.

The US dollar fell as much as 1.2% against the yen after the Bank of Japan’s move to trim its long-dated government bond purchases earlier this week, putting the US currency on track for its biggest two-day drop in nearly eight months.

The BoJ move also lifted bond yields across the world, generally a negative factor for gold as it increases the opportunity cost of holding non-interest bearing bullion. However, the impact of the US dollar’s fall outweighed that factor.

Spot gold was up 0.9% at US$1,324.40 an ounce at 1107 GMT, having earlier touched its highest since Sept. 15 at US$1,326.56. US gold futures for February delivery were up US$11.50 an ounce at US$1,325.20.

“The story in the markets right now is most certainly the yen story, and that is going to provide enough support (to gold) for the yield story to be ignored,” Saxo Bank’s head of commodity strategy Ole Hansen said. “Dollar/yen is down more than 1%.”

“We are seeing underlying demand for gold here as the year kicks off,” he added.

The US dollar’s slide against the yen also saw it move lower against the euro, with the single currency up 0.6% versus the US unit.

Major government bond yields hit multi-month highs on Wednesday as investors reevaluated the likelihood of continued easy-money policies by the world’s major central banks following the BoJ move. The 10-year US Treasury yield hit 2.57% for the first time since March.

Among other metals, palladium was down 0.1% at US$1,098.50 an ounce, after hitting a record high on Tuesday at US$1,111.40. Tightening emissions standards and a switch away from diesel cars to more palladium-heavy gasoline models has shored up demand expectations for the autocatalyst metal.

“Yesterday once again saw moderate outflows from palladium ETFs,” Commerzbank said in a note. “Since the start of the year, holdings have already been reduced by just shy of 13,000 ounces. The trend seen in recent years appears to be continuing.”

“That said, the exodus from palladium ETFs since the end of 2015 has done nothing to prevent the massive price rise,” it added.

Silver was up 1.2% at US$17.16 an ounce, while platinum was 0.1% higher at US$965.90 an ounce.

#Blockchain Is Changing Our World: Here Are The Best Practical Examples Of How It Is Used In 2018 #Bitcoin #Enthereum $IDK.ca $SX.ca $SXOOF #Blockstation

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:14 AM on Wednesday, January 10th, 2018
  • Blockchains, whether public or private, are a real-time ledger of records stored in a distributed, peer-to-peer fashion independent from any central authority
  • Since every record is encrypted and time-stamped and users can only access and edit the block they “own” through a private key, it’s very secure.

Bernard Marr , Contributor Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.

The potential of blockchain technology to disrupt nearly every industry in some way cannot be dismissed even though there are still several hurdles to overcome before we see its full transformative impact.

Leaders of major financial institutions where security is paramount and change is often resisted see enough upside in blockchain technology that they have been willing to invest millions in resources to learn how to best implement it. And, they are not alone. Any business with valuable digital assets from contacts to contracts they need to protect can find a legitimate use case for blockchain technology.

What makes blockchain powerful?

Blockchains, whether public or private, are a real-time ledger of records stored in a distributed, peer-to-peer fashion independent from any central authority. Since every record is encrypted and time-stamped and users can only access and edit the block they “own” through a private key, it’s very secure. Every block is linked to the one before and the one after it and whenever a change is made, the entire chain gets updated. Blockchain helps secure and streamline transactions efficiently without requiring intermediaries to manage the process. Blockchain technology is revolutionary in terms of record keeping and can track and document every change in a record or transaction.

What are the practical uses of blockchain?

If you haven’t already realized it, blockchain technology is going to change many systems that you encounter in your day-to-day life. Here are a few of the practical examples:

Contract management and smart contracts

Any industry heavily reliant on contracts such as insurance, financial institutions, real estate, construction, entertainment and law would benefit from blockchain’s indisputable way to update, manage, track and secure contracts. Smart contracts, those that are embedded with if/then statements and be executed without involvement of an intermediary, also use blockchain technology.

Marijuana Company of America $MCOA and Global #Hemp Group $GHG.ca Issue Final Report on New Brunswick Hemp / #CBD Project $AERO $CBDS $CGRW $APH.ca $GBLX

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:38 AM on Wednesday, January 10th, 2018

  • Provides a final report on the first phase of their industrial hemp project in New Brunswick
  • In this first phase of MCOA’s and GHG’s multi-phase hemp project, the Partners successfully cultivated industrial hemp during the 2017 growing season
  • Objective of phase one was to re-introduce hemp into the area, to ensure that it could be productive under New Brunswick growing conditions, prior to significantly increasing cultivation acreage, and building a hemp processing facility in the region

Escondido, California–(January 10, 2018) – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (OTC Pink: MCOA) (“MCOA” or the “Company“), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, and Global Hemp Group, Inc. (“GHG”) (CSE: GHG) (FSE: GHG) (OTC Pink: GBHPF) are pleased to provide a final report on the first phase of their industrial hemp project in New Brunswick.

On September 5, 2017, MCOA and GHG announced their joint venture to develop commercial hemp production on the Acadian peninsula of New Brunswick, Canada.

In this first phase of MCOA’s and GHG’s (the “Partners”) multi-phase hemp project, the Partners successfully cultivated industrial hemp during the 2017 growing season (see Phase One Hemp Trial Results below). For this phase of the project, the Partners only grew hemp for research purposes, as this was the first time in 20 years that industrial hemp was grown in the region. The objective of phase one was to re-introduce hemp into the area, to ensure that it could be productive under New Brunswick growing conditions, prior to significantly increasing cultivation acreage, and building a hemp processing facility in the region.

The Partners are preparing for proposed changes to Canadian legislation expected in 2018, that will permit cannabidiol (CBD) extraction from industrial hemp. Health Canada is currently consulting industry representatives regarding regulations that will accompany the new cannabis legislation expected by July 1, 2018.

The Partners are now focusing on the next season of crops. Farmers have been recruited and a minimum of 125 acres of hemp cultivation is planned for 2018, with the goal of increasing the acreage under cultivation to 1,000 acres by year three of the project. This first commercial crop will focus on CBD extraction. The Partners are currently considering sites in northeast New Brunswick to locate their processing facilities. In addition, discussions are underway regarding the purchase of extraction equipment for cannabinoids, and straw processing equipment for building materials. The companies expect the facilities to be in place and operational for the 2018 harvest in October.

Under the joint venture MCOA will facilitate access to international markets for the project’s CBD production, product development and distribution, while GHG will provide technical and management expertise. MCOA has Right of First Refusal as the primary off-taker of the cannabinoids from all future hemp cultivation projects.

RENEWAL OF GHG’S HEMP LICENSE IN CANADA

GHG’s industrial hemp license was renewed for 2018. Under current legislation, hemp flowers and leaves grown under field conditions cannot be processed. It is expected that this will be allowed under new 2018 regulations, but will still require additional licenses: one to extract the CBD and another to sell CBD for medical or non-medical purposes. In anticipation of this change, GHG will be applying for a license under the Narcotics Control Regulations (NCR) to extract CBD, and an additional license under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes (ACMPR) to sell it to wholesale and retail customers in Canada.

FINAL TRIAL RESULTS

The trial consisted of fifteen test plots with three different varieties and as many planting densities of hemp, in two different locations east and west of Bathurst.

The trials were sampled, and collected materials were measured at Collège Communautaire du Nouveau Brunswick (CCNB), Grand Falls laboratory, where standard drying and measuring procedures were applied to the hemp straw, flowers, and leaves. Straw yields averaged 1.0-2.5 T/ha, whereas the combined flowers and leaves of the plant averaged 1.25-2.10 T/ha. The Partners are confident that with an earlier planting date, adequate soil preparation, and a higher fertilizer application, yields will be improved in future seasons.

Cannabinoid analysis of the flowers and leaves was completed by RPC – Science & Engineering (RPC), an accredited laboratory located in Fredericton, NB. Contrary to expectations leaves, rather than the flowers, contained a greater concentration of CBD, largely explained by laboratory procedures. The highest concentration that was found was the CFX-1 leaf sample that resulted in 1.46% for the 30 kg/ha plant density compared to 1.17% for the flowers. Also, it should be noted that the CBD concentration in flowers is consistently higher at densities of 30 kg/ha across all varieties that were tested.

Frank Giese, an advisor to GHG, will consult on the 2018 cultivation to assist in increasing both plant yield and cannabinoid production. Through his experience, he has bridged the fundamentals of scientific research and hemp/cannabis breeding, as well as the use and development of modern cultivation and processing techniques in his breeding work. He has become proficient in breeding cannabinoid rich varieties of hemp, as well as being very experienced in auto flower breeding.

Donald Steinberg, CEO of MCOA, stated, “We are excited to complete the first phase of industrial hemp trials in Canada, and we look forward to continue expanding operations in Canada. Our joint venture with GHG allows MCOA the opportunity to expand the Company’s operations on an international level. Both Companies are excited about the endless possibilities for hemp derived CBD product this year in Canada.”

American Creek Resources $AMK.ca Reports 90.5m of 1.21 g/t #Gold at Treaty Creek, Including 70.5m of 1.47 g/t Gold $SEA $SA $SKE.ca $TUD.ca $PVG

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:21 AM on Wednesday, January 10th, 2018

Hublogolarge2 copy

  • Mineralization grading 1.21 g/tonne gold from 24 to 114.5m depth,
  • Including a higher-grade intercept of 70.5m grading 1.47 g/t gold from 31.5 to 102m

Cardston, AB – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: AMK) (the “Corporation”) is pleased to report on results from its 2017 drill program on the Copper Belle zone of the Company’s Treaty Creek property located in B.C.’s Golden Triangle adjacent to Seabridge’s KSM project and Pretivm’s Brucejack mine.

CB-17-12, a step-out hole drilled on the Copper Belle zone, intersected various mineralized zones where the most significant was 90.5m of continuous mineralization grading 1.21 g/tonne gold from 24 to 114.5m depth, including a higher-grade intercept of 70.5m grading 1.47 g/t gold from 31.5 to 102m. Hole CB-17-12 was a 564m hole that was collared adjacent to the west side of Treaty glacier where ice ablation (glacier melt-back) has exposed new opportunities for exploration access. Hole CB 17-12 is 110m south of CB-16-03 that graded 58m from 88 to 146m of 1.11 g/t Au; and 122m from 304 to 426m of 0.97 g/t Au. Hole CB 16-03 was drilled uphill at a higher elevation (see map link).

Drill results for hole CB-17-12 are summarized in the table below:

Darren Blaney, President and CEO, stated: “CB-17-12 shows a continuance of significant mineralization found in the numerous holes released so far.  The fact that holes on Copper Belle have excellent results, extend over a one-kilometer range, have continuity between, and are open to the north and south, makes this a very significant system.  This is emphasized by the fact that it, along with the high grade GR2/HC zone, are located within the same hydrothermal system as the world class KSM deposits and the Brucejack mine.  We look forward to the remaining assays and planned resource calculation(s) on the Treaty Creek project”.     

The Copper Belle 2017 resource delineation program comprised 27 drill holes to depths below 700m (an estimated 13,722m) and step-outs of 50m where topography permitted. Results from additional drill holes of the 2017 drill program at Copper Belle are still pending. Drill holes were targeted oblique to the northwesterly plunge of the main mineralized zone. A block of delineated mineralization will form the basis for a preliminary resource estimate. All drill holes were down hole surveyed at 25m stations using a Reflex Multi-shot device.

The Magnetotelluric Geophysical Survey program (MT Survey) completed on the property in 2016 was effectively utilized as a guide for the drill program. The MT Survey suggests that the mineralization continues to the southwest toward the Iron Cap deposit of Seabridge Gold Inc. The MT Survey also suggests that the mineralized zone is open along strike and at depth. Tudor Gold’s 2017 drill program was located just five kilometers north of the Iron Cap deposit and the Company intends to step out to the south in its 2018 program to see if it confirms a relationship between the two areas.

Drill hole samples were assayed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Kamloops, BC. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the submission of blanks, certified standards and duplicate samples inserted at regular intervals into the sample stream by Tudor Gold personnel. Activation Laboratories quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO 17025: 2005.

The Qualified Person for the Treaty Creek results in this new release is James A. McCrea, P.Geo. for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101. He has read and approved the scientific and technical information that forms the basis for the disclosure contained in this news release.

Background on the Treaty Creek Project

The Treaty Creek Project is situated immediately north of Seabridge Gold’s KSM property and near Pretium’s Valley of the Kings Mine, both of which are situated in BC’s Golden Triangle along the Sulphurets and Brucejack fault systems that continue northward into the Treaty Creek property.

In 2017 Tudor conducted a major drill program (approximately 20,000 metres) on the Treaty Creek property. The objective of the drill program was to define a gold resource on the Copper Belle zone and to determine the future potential of the high-grade gold/silver/zinc GR2 zone located in a separate area adjacent to the Copper Belle.

Seabridge Gold’s proposed development plan for their KSM Project includes an access tunnel system through the Treaty Creek property as a key component.  The approximate trajectory of the tunnels can be found on the drill map link above.

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).

    • Soil sample analytical results from the 2017 fall program on the Gold Drop Property
    • Conducted in the  Southwest Zone between the COD gold showing and the COD North gold showing and north of the gold bearing Everest vein
    • A total of 334 soil samples were collected along 31 soil lines. These lines were spaced 25m apart

 

Gold Drop Property, Greenwood British Columbia

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire)GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce the receipt of soil sample analytical results from the 2017 fall program on the Gold Drop Property, located in southern British Columbia. The soil sampling geochemical program was conducted in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone between the COD gold showing and the COD North gold showing and north of the gold bearing Everest vein. The program identified gold soil anomalies including high values of 0.061, 0.073 and 0.088 ppm gold.

A total of 334 soil samples were collected during the program and submitted to ALS Minerals in North Vancouver for gold and multi-element analysis. The samples were screened to 180 micron. Gold analysis was by aqua regia extraction with ICP-MS finish. Multi-element analysis was by aqua regia extraction and ICP-MS and ICP-AES. Soil samples were collected along 31 soil lines. These lines were spaced 25m apart with a 25m sample interval. The soil lines were of varying lengths but on average 250m long.

 

The soil sampling program identified several soil gold anomalies in the Southwest Zone, including numerous samples exceeding 0.01 ppm Au (including high values of 0.061, 0.073 and 0.088 ppm Au). The most distinct anomaly or anomalies is in the COD North area, where anomalous values are concentrated between two historical workings. The soil sampling program extended the target area for at least 600 meters northeast of the area of 2017 drilling and trenching. The Company is planning follow up work in this area in 2018 including a trenching program. The program also identified other gold anomalies near the new COD adit and northeast of the COD trenches.

 

The soil sampling program in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone helped identify a new vein exposure in a small, 2 meter deep historic adit 175 meters north of the C.O.D. trench. The adit is driven on a North-south striking quartz vein that is on strike with the C.O.D. Vein, and appears to be of the same style as the Detonia/Jewel quartz vein. Another vein exposure north of the trench was also located by hand pitting on local quartz float. Bedrock quartz samples from the small hand pit material returned values of 4.97 g/t Au and 30.7 g/t Ag. Samples of boulder material found outside of the small adit returned values of 1.28 g/t Au and 6.97 g/t Ag. (News Release of Nov 8, 2017).
