New Age Metals $NAM.ca $NMTLF River Valley Prefeasibility Study Update and Drilling on PGM and Lithium Divisions in 2021 $WG.ca $XTM.ca $WM.ca $PDL.ca $PGM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:44 AM on Monday, March 8th, 2021

  • Subject to closing a recently announced financing, this release will outline our 2021 objectives including;
  • NAM intends to engage third party engineering companies to complete the River Valley Palladium Project’s first Prefeasibility Study before the end of the first quarter of 2022.
  • NAM technical teams are finalizing plans for additional exploration drilling of up to 5,000 metres at the River Valley Project to further delineate the northernmost mineralized zones, expand the known mineralization boundaries and for resource classification.
  • NAM has received notice that a drill permit for its Lithium One Project in southeast Manitoba has been approved and is extending its permit for the Lithium Two Project. A minimum 2,000 metre drill program on the Lithium Two Project is scheduled for the second quarter of this year.
  • NAM has submitted a second application to the Manitoba Chamber of Commerce’s, Mineral Development Fund (MMDF). The Company hopes to co-fund the program with the MMDF to conduct a drone magnetometry survey on its Lithium Two, Lithman West and Cat Lake Lithium projects.
  • The River Valley Palladium Project is one of North America’s largest undeveloped primary Platinum Group Metal (PGM) projects. The Project has excellent infrastructure and is within 100 kilometres of the Sudbury Metallurgical Complex. The Project is 100% owned by New Age Metals.
  • The spot price of an ounce of palladium, platinum, and rhodium as of March 4, 2021 was $US2,285/oz, $US1,160/oz, and $US26,000/ oz respectively (Kitco, 2021)

New Age Metals Inc. (TSXV:NAM); (OTC:NMTLF); (FSE:P7J.F) Harry Barr, Chairman & CEO, stated; “We are pleased to provide shareholders with a corporate update to detail our planned exploration and development activities for our portfolio of North American green metal projects in 2021.”

NAM is focused on advancing River Valley to a Prefeasibility study. This study would be based on completion of metallurgy, hydrogeology, geotechnical surveys, an updated mineral resource estimate, environmental baseline, infill and exploration drilling. Management has received quotes from third party engineering and environmental firms and confirmed a budget for the study. Subject to the completion of the recently announced financing, management plans to initiate this study in the first half of 2021. Our objective is to complete the Prefeasibility study on or before the end of the first quarter of 2022.

NAM’s technical team is finalizing a phase one drill program for up to 5,000 metres for the northern portion of the River Valley Project. Next phases of drilling will focus on the Dana North, Dana South, Pine, Banshee, Lismer and Pardo Zones (Figure 1) given their fundamental importance to any potential mining operation at River Valley. The occurrence of surface mineralization in the River Valley Intrusion, drill hole mineralization and geophysical chargeability east of the footwall boundary of the current resource model are all strong indicators of mineralization that could be added to a future resource model. Proposed drill targets are illustrated in Figure 1 below.

 Figure 1: Northern area of the River Valley Project.The image shows numerous IP anomalies similar to Pine Zone extend northeast (externally) and southwest (internally) of the footwall contact of the River Valley Intrusion. Those IP anomalies remain to be drill tested.

VIDEO – PK Beans $BEAN Is The Woman Powered Small Cap Incorporating Augmented Reality And Other Innovations To Revolutionize Children’s Clothing Industry

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:31 PM on Sunday, March 7th, 2021

If you thought PK Beans $BEAN is just a children’s clothes retailer, you’d better think again.  Whereas children’s clothes retailers simply stack, rack and sell on volume, $BEAN is bringing the kind of innovation to the space that we once saw from the likes of Apple. 

Just as Apple did back in the day, $BEAN is creating a complete experience out of their products that includes the use of Augmented Reality stories with characters that carry great messages while showcasing their products.

More than just a cool idea, $BEAN innovation is creating some eye-popping KPI’s in it’s very early pivot such as:

  • 10,000 customers  
  • 62% returning customer rate  
  • $29 on every $1 of ad spend
  • 18,000 + orders in 2020
  • 55% increase in online visitors
  • $1.5M + in 2020 sales
  • …. and much more 

Beyond Augmented Reality, $BEAN has also incorporated a second-hand resale and sustainable initiative that, combined with the fact it is Canada’s only public company with a board dominated by women, is quickly becoming a great ESG company.

Why is that important?  ESG investing (Environmental, social and corporate governance) is a very big trend in the United States, where BEAN is expanding to next!

If you ever wanted to truly learn how to become a great small cap investor, it doesn’t get much better than this.

On today’s episode we discuss the outlook for esports, why it is so explosive and a few small cap esports companies to consider including:

TransCanna’s $TCAN.ca Lyfted Farms Set to Increase Cultivation by 300% $VFF.ca $ACB.ca $GTII.ca $TEQ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:51 AM on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2021

  • Company anticipates escalation in cultivation to have direct effect on revenue growth
  • Strategic location of the Company’s new facility takes full advantage of California’s lowest industrial electrical costs
  • “Our new facility gives us a massive competitive cost advantage that will increase our margins and empower us to offer consumers the best products at the most competitive prices,” said Bob Blink

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2021) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: TH8) (OTC: TCNAF) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) has increased its cultivation capacity by 300%, enabling it to effectively triple production of its most profitable and in-demand product: exotic indoor flower. With this increased cultivation capacity, Lyfted Farms – hailed in the industry for its premium genetics and seasoned team of master cultivators – can now meet consumer-driven demand in Northern California while expanding into the sizable Southern California home containing over 23,000,000 residents.

“We literally cannot keep up with demand as the vast majority of shipments are selling out within days of landing on retail shelves,” said Alan Applonie, General Manager for TransCanna subsidiary, Lyfted Farms. “We have been waiting for the right time to enter the Southern California market but needed this increase in cultivation capacity to effectively build and preserve our reputation for unwavering quality and reliability with our retailers and consumers,” said Mr. Applonie.

In addition to increasing output, the strategic location of the Company’s new Daly facility in Modesto, California, takes full advantage of California’s lowest industrial electrical costs per kilowatt-hour.

“Electricity is the largest direct cost for indoor cultivation so the location of our new facility gives us a massive competitive cost advantage that will increase our margins and empower us to offer consumers the best products at the most competitive prices,” said Bob Blink, CEO of TransCanna.

The additional cultivation rooms coming online within the Daly facility also unlock Lyfted Farms’ ability to leverage its multi-decade relationships within the industry. The expansion in cultivation capacity opens the door for collaboration with other dominant California cannabis lifestyle brands. Ensuing co-branding efforts (soon to be revealed) will be powerful and will impact all meaningful cannabis market segments within the state.

The new developments represent significant strides in TransCanna’s mission to establish itself as California’s leading cannabis conglomerate.

NAM Further Demonstrates Presence of Rhodium at the River Valley Palladium Project Near Sudbury, Ontario $WG.ca $XTM.ca $WM.ca $PDL.ca $PGM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:20 AM on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2021

Highlights:

  • Rhodium (Rh) is the most valuable platinum group metal (PGM), with recent spot price highs of over $US24,000/oz Rh, nearly 18 times higher than Pt
  • 303 Rh assay results reported for the Pine Zone of the River Valley Deposit
  • Highest assay result is 0.177 g/t Rh, with 9 other samples returned assays at or greater than 0.100 g/t Rh and a total of 50 samples returned assays higher than 0.050 g/t Rh
  • The highest Rh concentrations coincide with the highest palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt) grades – Rh concentrations in the River Valley Deposit are equivalent to 12% of the Pt grades
  • Based on encouraging results from phase 1, subsequent phases of the multi-phase Rh evaluation program will take samples of PGM mineralized intervals from the Dana South and Lismer zones
  • The River Valley Deposit is one of North Americas largest undeveloped primary platinum-group metal projects with 2.867 Moz Palladium Equivalent (PdEq) in the Measured + Indicated classifications and 1.059 Moz Pd Eq in the Inferred classification

New Age Metals Inc. (NAM) (TSXV:NAM); (OTC:NMTLF); (FSE:P7J) (“NAM” or the “Company”) announces completion of Phase 1 of an ongoing Rh assay program on the River Valley Palladium Deposit near Sudbury, Ontario (Figure 1). Phase 1 of the Rh assay program collected 303 pulp samples from 17 mineralized intervals in 14 drill holes through the Pine Zone. The samples were selected to provide Rh data for mineralization in two cross-sections spaced 50 metres apart through the Pine Zone, located near the north end of the 16 km long River Valley Deposit (Figure 1).  In addition to Rh, the samples were also assayed for gold (Au), iridium (Ir), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), and ruthenium (Ru). The assays were completed on 2015-2020 drill core sample pulps at the Geoscience Laboratories in Sudbury.

The new Rh data reported herein are in addition to historical data generated from drill core, channel and surface grab samples from the River Valley Deposit (Figure 2) (see also Pacific North West Capital Corp. press release dated July 26, 2011). Rh is the most valuable platinum group metal (PGM), with recent spot price highs of over $US24,000/oz Rh, nearly 18 times higher than Pt. However, Rh analyses are too costly to be performed on every drill core assay sample. Rh is reported in the current Mineral Resource Estimate for the River Valley Deposit (see NAM press release dated August 8, 2019), based on regression analysis of historical drill core and channel sample assay data for the Dana North, Dana South and Lismer Zones.
