Nevada Energy capitalizing on what Goldman Sachs calls the new gasoline in the electric vehicle revolution – lithium $BFF.ca

  • Works aggressively toward the acquisition of new lithium targets in Nevada, one of the most mining friendly jurisdictions in the world and figuratively in the shadows of Tesla’s Gigafactory
  • Lithium has become a permanent topographic feature of the Nevada economic landscape
  • By 2018, the Gigafactory will reach full capacity and produce more lithium ion batteries annually than were produced worldwide in 2013

Nevada Energy Metals Inc. (TSXV: BFF | OTCQB: SSMLF | Frankfurt: A2AFBV) is capitalizing on lithium, what Goldman Sachs calls the new gasoline as an enabling commodity in the electric vehicle revolution. It is approaching the market smartly to minimize risk, keep overhead low and maximize shareholder value.

Nevada Energy is an exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of brine lithium projects in the world-class mining jurisdiction of Nevada. But Nevada Energy found its own way to minimize risk and leverage others money to capitalize on brine to supply the expanding lithium demand.

Nevada Energy works aggressively toward the acquisition of new lithium targets in Nevada, one of the most mining friendly jurisdictions in the world and figuratively in the shadows of Tesla’s Gigafactory.

Lithium has become a permanent topographic feature of the Nevada economic landscape. Tesla broke ground on the Gigafactory in June 2014 outside Sparks, Nevada, and we expect to begin battery cell production by the end of this year. By 2018, the Gigafactory will reach full capacity and produce more lithium ion batteries annually than were produced worldwide in 2013.

To service this market Nevada Energy has acquired mineral rights to 7 properties in Nevada,

  1. A 100% option-outagreement, 3% net-smelter royalty of the Dixie Valley Project (348 of 910 total claims covering 7,363 hectares/28.4 square miles) to LiCo Energy Metals (LIC.TSXV), covering the majority of the Humboldt Salt Marsh playa in Churchill County, Nevada;
  2. Acquisitionof 100% of the Big Smokey Valley Project (160 placer claims covering 3,200 acres/1,295 hectares) located in Nye County, Nevada;
  3. Acquisitionof 100% ownership in the Black Rock Desert Project (128 claims covering 2,560 acres/1,036 hectares) located in southwest Black Rock Desert, Washoe County, Nevada;
  4. A 70/30farm-out option JVto American Lithium Corp (LI.TSXV) on 77 claims in Clayton Valley, approximately 250m from the Rockwood Lithium mine, the only brine based lithium producer in North America;
  5. Acquisition of 100% in the Teels Marsh West project (100 claims covering 2000 acres/809 hectares) in Mineral County, Nevada;
  6. Acquisition of 100% ownership in the San Emidio Project (155 claims, 3,100 acres/1,255 hectares) near Empire, Washoe County, Nevada;
  7. Acquisition of the Alkali lake Project, 60% Option from Dajin Resources Corp. (191 claims covering 3,820 acres/1,558 hectares) in the Esmeralda County, Nevada.

Nevada Energy uses three time-tested approaches to maximize shareholder value:

  1. It teams up with other companies for exploration and development. This permits Nevada Energy to leverage its funds;
  2. It has formed an advisory board to streamline the selection, management and development of its lithium projects; and,
  3. It keeps overhead low even as it is well capitalized.

Incidentally, Goldman Sachs is both right and wrong about lithium being the next gasoline: the properties of lithium make it the best possible atoms for energy storage. Lithium is the lightest solid element on earth with double the energy density of the next closest alternative; it is also one of the most abundant elements on earth. These unique properties ideally position it for portable energy storage applications that will be a key enabler of the electric car revolution and replace gasoline as the primary source of transportation fuel.

Gasoline is a source of energy. But lithium is not and will never be until such time as we change the physical laws of the universe, which is safe to assume won’t happen during the four-year term of the next president of the United States.

Lithium is an atom that has the ability to store energy. It stores joules from solar, fossil, hydroelectric sources or nuclear. In reality Nevada Energy aims to provide the fuel tank to electric vehicles.

Marijuana Company of America Q4 2016 Outlook and Update $MCOA.us

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:46 AM on Tuesday, October 18th, 2016

  • hempSMART Brain product release imminent
  • Offers brain support and protection
  • Product is first-of-its-kind
  • Fulfillment center prepared to manage distribution of orders
  • Members signing up for PreLaunch

BONSALL, CA–(Marketwired – Oct 18, 2016) –

MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC., (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK:MCOA), an innovative cannabis and hemp marketing and distribution company, is providing this update to keep our shareholders and prospective investors informed.

Our first product, hempSMART BRAIN, formulated with CBD or Cannabidiol as the core ingredient combined with high quality, clinically proven, branded ingredients to compliment the CBD to support brain health. There are new articles published daily regarding the benefits of CBD, hempSMART BRAIN was formulated to meet the growing demand for cannabinoid based neutraceutical products that assist in brain function.

The hempSMART Brain product is scheduled for release by the end of October. It was expected to ship by the second week of October, but delays in receiving key ingredients from suppliers has pushed back the ship date by approximately two weeks. Our fulfillment center is ready to manage distribution of orders and they are working very closely with hempSMART’s manufacturer, which will result in significant efficiencies of scale.

hempSMART Brain is a first-of-its-kind product. The synergistic blend of clinically verified natural brain support ingredients, blended with water soluble CBD, enables crossing of the blood-brain barrier to provide optimal brain support and protection.

hempSMART Brain was developed to address the increase in neurologic and neurodegenerative challenges that have prompted a surge in scientific research on prevention and/or reversal of brain and nervous system pathology. A variety of natural products have been shown, in clinical trials, to improve neurological and cognitive function and there has been a surge of products being marketed to improve brain function.

Marketing leaders are currently preparing for the Brain product roll-out. The hempSMART prelaunch website: hempSMART.com is now active and accessible to the Company’s members.

According to the Direct Selling Association, in 2015 over 20 million people in the U.S. were involved in direct selling, with total sales of $36.1 billion. More than 74 percent of the American public has purchased goods or services through direct selling. Worldwide sales are also strong with more than $154 billion in sales. This marketing and distribution method is incredibly effective at creating solid sales and loyal members, as well as brand awareness in the marketplace because the sales “force” are people that passionately believe in the company, product and the difference it can make in people’s lives. The energy they can invest into the education of potential customers is far more than any other sales model.

Another key driver in the affiliate marketing industry is compensation or commission that is based on performance. Affiliate leaders earn rewards and compensation for developing training systems for their personal sales “teams” within hempSMART. Based on this win-win business model, companies can grow rapidly due to the success of the customer, the affiliate and the entire direct sales process.

Over the years, thousands of affiliate marketing teams have been established to promote new products for launch. Our affiliate marketing leaders are well established, long-term professionals. They are testing the system as well as preparing their marketing organizations for the Brain product launch.

Explor Start a Diamond Drill Program on the Chester Copper Property $EXS.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:31 PM on Monday, October 17th, 2016

Exs_logo

  • Announced the start of a 2,000 meters diamond Drill program on the Chester Copper Property
  • Property is located in the Northumberland County, 70 km southwest of Bathurst, New Brunswick and 50 km west-northwest of Miramichi, New Brunswick, within the Bathurst Mining Camp
  • Area has an extensive history in base metal production from VMS deposits

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC–(Oct. 17, 2016) – Explor Resources Inc. (“Explor” or the “Corporation“) (TSX VENTURE:EXS)(OTCQX:EXSFF)(FRANKFURT:E1H1)(BERLIN:E1H1) is pleased to announce the start of a 2,000 meters diamond Drill program on the Chester Copper Property. The Chester Copper property is located in the Northumberland County, 70 km southwest of Bathurst, New Brunswick and 50 km west-northwest of Miramichi, New Brunswick, within the Bathurst Mining Camp. This area has an extensive history in base metal production from VMS deposits.

A new and updated geology map produced by Explor personnel as a result of their work on the west side of Clearwater Stream in 2014 indicates a westerly dip to the existing known mineralization. New soil sampling in 2014 indicates wide spread copper and base metal anomalies and favorable stratigraphy associated with the mineralized bedrock areas as well as the potential to discover new mineralization although there are very few outcrops in the area. Explor is planning a 2,000 meters diamond drill program to test the down dip extension of the mineralization outlined in the current 43-101 Technical report, as well as the Time Domain EM Survey conducted by Geotech in 2004 and the technical analysis completed by Condor Geophysical Consultants in June 2005.

A review of the 1996 Extech 2 airborne survey of the Bathurst Mining Camp as well as the Geotech Airborne survey completed by First Narrows in 2004 (Assessment report No 475973) outlines untested geophysical targets that are co-incident with the recent geochemical anomalies. The copper and base metal soil anomalies combined with the geophysical and new geological interpretations indicates there is a westerly down dip component to the stratigraphy as well as a steeply westerly sloping terrain.

There has been very little exploration work in this area of the Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC) since the initial exploration more than 60 years ago. Of significance also is the fact that three (3) age date studies of the rock in the area since 2005 have indicated an age of 469+/- 0.3 ma. All of the main largest VMS deposits in the BMC (including BMS #12 and #6, the Caribou Deposit (currently being developed by Travalli) and the past producing Heath Steele Mines, are associated with this age date for the footwall felsic rocks. That new data in 2007 places Explor’s Chester deposit is in the same time frame as the Brunswick Mining No. 12 and No. 6 deposits located in the BMC.

In 2014, an extensive ground exploration program was conducted on the Chester property, concentrating mainly west side of the Clearwater Stream in an area that has not been explored since the late 1950’s. The purpose was to explore the possibility of finding additional near surface mineralized zones similar to the known Chester Copper and VMS zones since it has already been confirmed (First Narrows 2004 and Historical drilling in 1967‐68) that the main zone Copper Stringer deposit exists for 500 to 700 metres west of the calculated resource. The 2013 exploration program has determined numerous near surface, as well as deep, exploration targets on the Chester claim group west of Clearwater Stream. This area is an area that has not been explored by grass roots methods since about 1959. The soil sampling and modern soil geochemical analytical procedures have proven to be invaluable in defining drill targets.

New Brunswick is the home of the No 12 massive sulphide deposit (The Brunswick Deposit) which was in continuous production from 1964 to its closure in March of 2013 (to Feb 2013, 135,903,168 tonnes milled at 3.44 % Pb, 8.74 % Zn, 0.37 % Cu and 102 g/t Ag). The Brunswick deposits (No 6 and No 12) are situated in the Nepisiguit Falls Group of rocks in the Lower Tetagouche group of the BMC. There are 46 known VMS deposits in the BMC.

The Chester Property is known to contain both a copper deposit and a VMS deposit. The copper deposit has an Open Pit resource with Measured & Indicated resource of 1,400,000 tonnes grading 1.38% Cu, 0.06% Zn & 3.5 g/t Ag and an inferred resource of 2,089,000 tonnes grading 1.26% Cu (assayed for Cu only).
