Fairmont Encouraged by Chinese Asset Purchase of Former Lithium Producer rb Energy Adjacent to Rome Lithium Property

  • Jilin Jien already active in Quebec, following the 2010 acquisition of Canadian Royalties
  • Rome Lithium Property acquired by Fairmont Resources less than a month ago
  • Historical underground and open pit lithium mine on property adjacent to Rome Lithium Property

Vancouver, BC – Fairmont Resources Inc. (FMR: TSX-V) (“Fairmont”) is encouraged by the Court Approval yesterday of the Asset Purchase Agreement of RB Energy Inc. by Jilin Jien Nickel Industry Co. (“Jilin”).

RB Energy, who once claimed its Quebec mine would produce “the highest-quality lithium carbonate in the world”, was forced to halt operations in October 2014 after failing to complete a much needed financing. Subsequent attempts to raise financing proved to be very difficult due to market conditions at the time for Canadian resource companies. Specifically, Investment Quebec and/or KSV Advisory held discussions with 26 parties regarding the potential sale of RB Energy.

Jilin acquired the Quebec Lithium Mine for an undisclosed amount but it is estimated that approximately $150 – $200 Million in additional capital will be required to take the Lithium project to its production stage.

Michael Dehn, President and CEO Of Fairmont Resources, stated the following regarding the significance of this deal for both the Lithium industry and Fairmont’s Rome Lithium Property “Fairmont is very encouraged by the acquisition of the past producing Quebec Lithium Mine and Mill by Jilin Jien Nickel, as it provides third party validation of Fairmont’s decision last month to option of the Rome Lithium Property, which borders the property acquired by Jilin Jien. Rome added shareholder value at the time of its option and we believe this acquisition of the bordering property will add further near and long term value”.

PROXIMITY OF RB ENERGY MINE TO FAIRMONT’S ROME LITHIUM PROPERTY

The Rome Lithium property is located approximately 60 km north of Val d’Or Quebec. The property is contiguous to the north and south of RB Energy’s Quebec Lithium Mine with a published measured and indicated resources (at a 0.60% Li2O cutoff) of 41,556,000 tonnes at 1.09% Li2O, and an inferred resource of (at a 0.60% Li20 cutoff) of 17,766,000 million tonnes at 1.10% Li2O (RB Energy Press Release of October 11, 2012).

The property is also contiguous to Jourdan Resources Vallee Lithium property that drilled more than 4000m of core in 2011 and intersected more 100 pegmatite and aplite dikes. Jourdan Resources intersected values of up to 1.187% Li2O over 5.50m (Jourdan Resources Press Release of October 24, 2012).

For additional information on the Rome Lithium Property, please see the press release dated May 26, 2016 on Fairmont Resources website, or via the link: http://fairmontresources.ca/uploads/270.pdf

  • Announced the acquisition of the assets of Laboratoires Holizen Inc.
  • Assets will be part of the Company’s new wholly-owned subsidiary Agro-Tek Inc. and will form a new division of GrowPros’ that specializes in the distribution of Natural Health Products and cosmetics
  • Transaction will provide the Company with an established product line and allow GrowPros to rapidly commercialize and distribute new NHPs and cosmetics through Holizen’s strong distribution network

OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(June 22, 2016) – GrowPros Cannabis Ventures Inc. (“GrowPros” or the “Company“) (CSE:GCI) is pleased to announce the acquisition of the assets of Laboratoires Holizen Inc. (“Holizen“) for $450,000. The acquisition will be funded by the $600,000 private placement (see below). These assets will be part of the Company’s new wholly-owned subsidiary Agro-Tek Inc. and will form a new division of GrowPros’ that specializes in the distribution of Natural Health Products (“NHP“) and cosmetics. The transaction will provide the Company with an established product line and allow GrowPros to rapidly commercialize and distribute new NHPs and cosmetics through Holizen’s strong distribution network.

Acquisition Terms:

GrowPros will be required to make a payment of $325,000 on signing the agreement, $50,000 on the 12 month anniversary of the agreement, $50,000 on the 24 month anniversary of the agreement and a final payment of $25,000 on the 36 month anniversary of the agreement. The Agro-Tek team has already commenced applications with different government institutions to access investment funds for developing a strategic growth plan for the sale and distribution of Holizen products to the rest of Canada and the United States in the next year.

Asset Highlight

GrowPros has acquired Holizen’s existing customer base, inventory and natural product registration numbers.

The acquisition of Holizen’s assets by GrowPros will not change Holizen’s daily activities. The current President of Holizen, Mrs. Francine St-Sauveur, and all of the company’s employees and consultants will be retained by GrowPros. Mrs. St-Sauveur will assume the role and responsibility of the Chief Operating Officer of Agro-Tek. In her new role, Mrs. St-Sauveur will be responsible for day-to-day operations and client relations including the company’s network of retail stores. Mr. André Rancourt was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Agro-Tek and will take over the management of all of its divisions and partnerships. “The Board of Directors and I are delighted that Mr. Rancourt has agreed to accept this responsibility,” said André Audet, Chairman. “He is someone with tremendous experience in the NHP retail market, his unquestioned work ethic, and integrity will prove to be of great value to the growth of the Company”. Mr. Rancourt has worked in the food and NHP market for over 20 years and has established an extensive network of contacts. André will be responsible for the overall commercial strategy of Agro-Tek, licencing of innovative technologies, and future acquisitions to expand the Company’s product lines and distribution capabilities. Holizen products are currently distributed in over 200 Natural health stores in Quebec. The company plans to launch an aggressive expansion to try and grow its market share of the 11.3 Billion dollar FFNHP (functional foods and Natural Health Products) market Place *stats Canada.

Holizen was created in 2002 and has been producing and distributing high quality NHP and cosmetic products. In addition to its NHP line, Mrs. St-Sauveur created alliances with several highly reputable European laboratories to offer Egyptian spagyria products, certified organic skincare products, and a line of silicon-based supplements and gels. “Holizen owes its fame to the absolute quality and efficiency of its products, a long and established network of clients, and the dedication of its employees to serve clients with respect and promptness,” stated Mrs. St-Sauveur. “The acquisition by GrowPros will allow the company to rapidly expand the distribution of its product lines across all of North America and continue to offer its clients innovative, effective, and high quality NHP and cosmetic products.”

Summary

The acquisition and recent creation of the multiple subsidiaries will provide GrowPros with a diversified portfolio of companies operating in independent yet related fields. PhytoPain Pharma Inc. will focus on pharmaceutical development, Agro-Tek will focus on retail product distribution and Grow Pros MMP will focus on cultivation and production of medicinal plants including Cannabis for which the company requires an approval under the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulation (“MMPR“).

“This platform should allow GrowPros to evolve into a fully integrated Pharmaceutical and Natural Health product development, production, and distribution company. This strategy provides multiple revenue streams across various industry segments and sub segments and insulates the company from the uncertainty that results from solely focusing on an MMPR application,” stated Ryan Brown, GrowPros CEO.

Financial Terms:

The Company also announces a non-brokered private placement of 12,000,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $600,000. Each unit will consist of one common share and one non-transferable warrant, with a whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.07 for a period of 12 months following the closing date.

In connection with the private placement, the Company may pay a cash finder’s fee equal to 8% of the gross proceeds raised and may issue non-transferable finder’s warrants equal to 8% of the number of common shares issued under the private placement. Each finder’s warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.07 per share for a period of 12 months following the closing of the private placement.

The securities issued pursuant to the private placement will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date. The Company may pay a commission in connection with the private placement, subject to compliance with the policies of the Exchange. Completion of the private placement and the payment of any commissions remain subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Exchange.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used to fund the acquisition of the assets of Holizen as well as general working capital.

CLIENT FEATURE: Nevada Energy Metals (BFF: TSX-V) Powering Our Green Future $BFF.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:04 PM on Friday, June 17th, 2016

TSX-V: BFF, (OTC Pink: SSMLF)

Why Lithium?

  • Major companies such as Sony and Panasonic got behind lithium as an anchor material in a possible successor to the lead-acid battery paradigm.
  • Although it took decades, lithium-based batteries are now the industry standard.
  • Lithium has limited supply and increasing demand.
  • Lithium seems untouched by economic downturns.
  • Lithium prices increased by about 20% in 2014 and by a larger percentage in 2015 when gas, coal and natural gas were down 50%
  • Climate change has lead to the frenzied search for green energy solution
  • Because of its high reactivity, lithium does not occur as a pure element in nature but is contained within minerals in a range of hard rock types or in brine solutions (elements contained in salty water) in salt lakes, “salars.” Lithium’s primary driver for growth is:

Batteries and grid-scale energy storage:

  • Most important use of lithium is in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, grid-scale energy storage, phones, laptops, cameras, gaming consoles and hundreds of other electronic devices.
  • Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly used for bikes, power tools, forklifts, cranes and other industrial equipment. In essence, lithium powers modern technology.

Benchmark Mineral Intelligence estimates that the

“EV market will grow five-fold between 2015 and 2020 while the market for stationary storage will increase 8-fold.”

We have already seen Tesla increase the land holding of their $5 billion under-construction lithium-ion battery factory and Faraday Future strike a deal to build a $1 billion electric car plant.

Nevada Energy Metals Acquires 100% Ownership in Clayton Valley BFF-1 Lithium Project

  • Announced acquisition of 60 claims in Clayton Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada
  • 250 meters from Albemarle Corporation’s Silver Peak lithium mine and brine processing operations
  • Also the location of Pure Energy Minerals’ 816,000 metric tonnes Lithium Carbonate Equivalent (LCE) Inferred Resource
  • 3.5 hours away from Tesla’s Gigafactory, which has a planned annual lithium-ion battery production capacity of 35 gigawatt-hours per year by 2020
  • Aannounced that it has agreed to grant 1074654 Nevada Ltd an Option to acquire a seventy (70%) percent interest in the BFF-1 Clayton Valley Property

Nevada Energy Metals Expans Lithium Exploration Potential at San Emidio

Company has increased the exploration potential of the San Emidio property by adding 69 additional claims to its land position. The property now includes 155 claims (approximately 3,100 acres/1255 hectares) in the San Emidio Desert, Washoe County, Nevada, 95 km northeast of Reno.

Importantly, historical results by previous operators exploring the playa for lithium reported lithium value in sediments up to 312 ppm and up to 80 ppm lithium in brine from a depth of 1.5 meters.

Company acquired 160 placer claims, with an area of 3,200 acres/1,295 hectares, located in northern Big Smokey Valley, Township 13N., Range 43E, Nye County, Nevada.

BSV Property:

Big Smokey Valley is situated in central Nevada. It begins at a point 12 miles east of the town of Austin and extends approximately 100 miles in a southwesterly direction to reach a southern terminus near Clayton Valley to the west of Tonopah. Hydrologically and topographically the valley is divided into northern and southern sections by a physiographic high near the mining community of Round Mountain. The northern section, where the claims area is located contains three geothermal resources; the Darrough, the McLeod and the Spencer hot springs.

Projects

  • Acquired, by staking, 100 placer claims covering 2000 acres (809 hectares) at Teels Marsh, Nevada.
  • Property, called Teels Marsh West is highly prospective for Lithium brines and is located approximately 48 miles northwest of Clayton Valley and the Rockwood Lithium Mine, North America’s only producing brine based Lithium mine supporting lithium production since 1967.
  • Access to Teels Marsh is via dirt road, west of Highway 95 and northwest of Highway 360.
  • Completed an orientation survey
  • Collected twenty-seven shallow auger sediment samples
  • Lithium values ranged from 8.9 to 104.5 ppm. The two best results (93.2 and 104.5) were obtained downstream of thermal springs on the western part of the property

Teels Marsh West is a highly prospective Lithium exploration project, 100% owned without any royalties, located on the western part of a large evaporation pond, or playa (also known as a salar). Structural analysis reveals that Teels Marsh is bounded by faults and is tectonically active. Tectonic activities supply additional local permeability that could be provided by the faults that bound the graben and sub-basins.

  • Located 12 km (7.5 miles) northeast of Albemarle Corporation’s (formerly Rockwood Lithium),Silver Peaksolar evaporation ponds. Silver Peak is the only producing brine-based lithium facility in North America.
  • 60-40 earn-in joint venture with Dajin Resources Corp.
  • In addition to its proximity to Silver Peak, the property is 20 km (12.5 miles) east-northeast of Pure Energy Minerals’ Clayton Valley exploration project.
  • Preliminary data from ongoing exploration activities on the property, suggest that Alkali Lake could be situated on one of the most prospective areas in the entire basin.
  • Lithium assay results from sediment sampling carried out on the Alkali Lake property confirmed the presence of near-surface lithium at grades ranging from 73 ppm to 382 ppm.

  • Early stage exploration property, located in the northern foothills of the Alaska Range, which contains VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) mineralization.
  • Property is located in the east portion of the Bonnifield Mining District, central Alaska, approximately 60 mi (96 km) south of Fairbanks, Alaska (Figure 1).
  • Property consists of 36 quarter-section State of Alaska mining claims (Galleon 1-36; Appendix 1) held by Anglo Alaska Gold Corporation (AAGC). Rock Star Resources Inc (RSRI) holds the rights to a 100% earn-in interest under an agreement with AAGC to pay for exploration and make required payments.
  • Access to the Property currently is only by helicopter, or by trail from a nearby airstrip, however, strong potential exists for future development of a road connecting the Property with an existing mine road system to the west.
  • The claims are subject to a 3% Net Production Royalty to the State of Alaska beginning 3.5 years after mine start-up. All claims comprising the Galleon Property are in good standing at the time of this writing.

Energy metal markets are booming

The age of electrification across the transportation sector, the solar panel revolution, and Tesla’s battery gigafactory are igniting a battle for the cheapest battery. That will transform lithium into a boom-time mineral and the hottest commodity on the energy investor’s radar. It has been easy to take lithium for granted. This wonder mineral is the backbone of our everyday lives, popping up in everything from the glass in our windows to our mountains of electronics.

And while investors have long appreciated the steady rise in demand for this preferred mineral, the number of new applications continues to multiply. Smart phones, tablets, laptops, and other consumer electronics demand more lithium. But the largest driver for future lithium use will be in electric vehicles and home batteries for solar panels. That has lithium on the verge a boom for which supply can no longer be taken for granted.

Exceptional Properties

Electrum Gold-Silver Property, British Columbia – 100% owned

The Electrum property has a rich history with some of the highest grade hand-mined ore mined in North America combined with excellent logistics. The property is located directly between two high-grad vein gold/silver mines; the past producing Silbak Premier mine and Pretiums high-grade Brucejack mine (production in 2017).All three lie within the Iskut mineral district (a particularly prolific part of the Canadian Cordillera) with numerous geological similarities between them.

The Electrum Property holds significant potential to attract mining companies when considering its high-grade nature combined with the exceptional logistics in place.

  • Located in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia, an area encompassing mineral rich belts that host more than 43 past producing mines including Eskay Creek, Silbak Premier, Granduc and Big Missouri.It is a hotbed of activity with one new mine having come online in 2015 (Imperial Mines Red Chris) and another scheduled for 2017 (Pretium Brucejack) and at least three more world-class mining projects headed toward production.
  • Located in a particularly rich valley with 4 past producing commercial mines and a 5th in the adjacent valley.
  • Includes the historic East Gold Mine that had intermittent small-scale production of approximately 46 tonnes of ore with grades averaging 1,661 grams of gold per tonne and 2,596 grams of silver per tone (roughly 50oz gold with 75oz silver).
  • Mineralization is believed to be very similar to the silver-gold-base metal veins responsible for the precious metal mineralization found in the Silbak Premier Mine and the Big Missouri mines (located in same extended valley).
  • Pretiums Brucejack Summary Report (for exploration) compares itself geologically to the Silbak Premier mine as well.
  • Exceptional gold and silver assays including 440 g/t gold with 400 g/t silver over 0.52m, with numerous silver intervals of 583g/t, 501 g/t, 420 g/t, 384 g/t in core, and surface samples of 80.96 g/t gold with 80,818 g/t silver, 694 g/t gold with 550 g/t silver, 54.77 g/t gold with 14,903 g/t silver, 615 g/t gold with 616 g/t silver.
  • A very successful program was run in 2015 wherein:
    • A new approach focusing on high-grade was employed very successfully
    • A new zone of gold / silver mineralization was discovered
    • A better understanding of the property geology was obtained
    • Surface samples from the structure averages 27,092 gm/tonne silver and 248 gm/tonne gold



  • The program proved the Electrum Property has multiple high-grade gold-silver epithermal breccia vein systems and gave us a better understating of their sequencing.
  • Excellent logistics including road access, power located 2 km away and a bulk tonnage shipping port and supportive mining town located just40 km away in a mining friendly jurisdiction.

The high-grade ELECTRUM PROPERTY recently had a program run on it. CLICK HERE for the Electrum presentation and HERE for the 2015 drill program presentation. The highly mineralized gossans on the Electrum are shown in the image at the top of this page.

Treaty Creek is located in British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle; one of the richest areas of mineralization in the world with one new mine having come online in 2015 (Imperial Mines Red Chris) and another scheduled for 2017 (Pretium Brucejack) and at least three more world-class mining projects headed toward production.

Mineralization in the Treaty Creek claims area lies within the same broad hydrothermal system that generated the several deposits on the Seabridge Gold KSM and the Pretivm Brucejack properties that lie immediately southwest of the Treaty Creek claims. So far over 130 million ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of silver and 20 billion pounds of copper (all categories included), representing one of the greatest concentrations of metal value on the planet, have been delineated within the geological system shared by KSM, Brucejack, and Treaty Creek.

Seabridge Gold’s KSM is the world’s largest undeveloped gold/silver project by reserves while Pretium’s Brucejack is the highest grading undeveloped large-scale gold project in the world.KSM has just past the environmental and permitting stage while the Brucejack is in construction phase.
Treaty Creek is part of the same large hydrothermal system as it’s neighbours, hosts the same bedrock geology as its neighbours, the same magneto-telluric (MT) anomalies that proved to be large deposits on the neighbours claims, the same major fault system (Sulphurets) that is responsible for KSM’s deposits, and initial exploration and drilling show similar results to initial drilling on KSM.

The Treaty Creek property is in a strategic location as it’s included in Seabridge’s plan for the KSM to go into production. Seabridge has proposed twin tunnels that would take the KSM ore through American Creek’s Treaty Creek property to a processing plant and tailings pond.

  • Corporate objective is to develop an economic Lithium Brine Project
  •  Exploration planning nearing completion; ground work slated for Summer/Fall 2016
  •  OTCQB Listing completed USA Trade Symbol: PAWEF, Frankfurt: P7JF
  • The company has a well-diversified project portfolio of Platinum Group Metals and Lithium Projects
  •  The company’s 100% owned River Valley PGM resource is one of the largest undeveloped primary PGM resources in Canada River Valley PGM Project

June 16th, 2016, Vancouver, Canada – Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN”, the “Company”) (TSX.V: PFN; Frankfurt: P7J.F; OTCQX: PAWEF further to the company’s previous news release (PFN April 25th, 2016 News Release), the Clayton Valley Forks Li Project (“CVF”) is comprised of 73 claims for a total of approximately 583 hectares (1440 acres) and is located on the west side of Lithium X’s South

expansion Project in Clayton Valley.

(Figure 1 is a company made composite and not intended for redistribution. The company accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of other claim blocks other than the claim block associated with the Clayton Valley Forks Li Project)

Mr Barr Chairmen and CEO of PFN stated “With the completion of this acquisition, our company has acquired its first strategic USA Lithium Brine asset. The Clayton valley Fork Li Project is situated in North America’s only Lithium Brine producing area, where approximately 4% of the world’s supply of Lithium Brine is produced. Due to growing demand, decreasing supply and increasing price of Lithium, Clayton Valley has become host to one of the largest project acquisitions and staking rushes in recent Nevada history. We look forward to developing and implementing an aggressive exploration and development program on this strategic project.”

The Property is strategically located south of the Silver Peak Lithium Mine operated by Albemarle Corp. Pure Energy Minerals Limited’s Clayton Valley South project is situated on the east side of Clayton Valley and the Clayton Valley Forks Li Project is situated on the opposite side of the valley, the west side.

The company plans to test for Lithium-Bearing Aquifers thru the Project Area. The company’s technical team believes that geological structures of the sediment-filled Clayton Valley basin, underlying the claims, contains sediments that, based on previous work in the area, have the potential to lead to new Li discoveries. The geological environment appears similar throughout the basin, but the company’s technical team is reviewing all available data, to build an exploration plan that is slated to begin the Summer/Fall of 2016.

The project is situated over an area that is believed to contain favourable geology, faults, ground water and possible Lithium-Bearing source rocks. The west side of the north-south trending Clayton Valley Basin lies within a geological belt of right lateral deformation, near the western edge of the Basin and Range geological province. The project area also a straddles the Walker Lane wrench fault zone, which is still active today. Aerial photos reveal strong faults on the mountains west of the project that roughly trend northerly-southerly. This faulting system may have formed structural traps which could contain accumulated lithium rich brines. Upcoming exploration programs will focus on geophysics and drilling.

Further announcements will be forthcoming, with regard to the projects near completion, further exploration and development plans, as well as other acquisitions in Canada and the United States.

Nevada the Lithium Hub

Nevada Building a Future for Green Energy Manufacturing

The Nevada government is actively embracing the Lithium Energy market and future ventures. In March 2016 the Nevada Board gave final approval to the Faraday Futures $1 Billion dollar electric car factory in North Las Vegas. Once this plant is operating it is estimated that it will create over 4500 jobs for the area. Tesla received over $1.25 Billion in tax incentives from the Nevada government to start up their $5 Billion Giga-factory in Reno, Nevada. The Nevada government is backing the new growth in the Lithium-ion battery and electric car market. Future projected market growth will also increase the need for Lithium-ion batteries. At present, the Clayton Valley area produces 4% of the world’s Lithium Carbonate production.

Clayton Valley is located in Esmeralda County of Nevada, host to the Albemarle Corporation’s Silver Peak Lithium Mine and Brine processing operations. The mine has been in operation since 1967 and remains the only Brine based Lithium Producer in North America. The new project acquisition in Nevada will allow the company a project in an area that is well known for its Lithium Carbonate production. Clayton Valley is a centralized location in Nevada with highway access, power infrastructure, water and local labour. The company’s new Lithium Brine Project will be approximately 3.5 hours away from Tesla’s Gigafactory, which has a planned annual Lithium-ion battery production capacity of 35 gigawatt-hours per year by 2020. The CV West Li project is located approximately 3 hours north of the Faraday Electric Car Factory to be operated in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Clayton Valley was one of the few locations globally known to contain commercial-grade Lithium-Enriched Brines.

About The Company’s Lithium Division

The company’s new Lithium Division will focus on the acquisition, exploration and development of Lithium Projects in Canada. In the United States, the company will use its wholly owned U.S.A subsidiary to acquire and develop projects in active mining camps in Nevada, Arizona and California.

Management believes that these New Age Metals, Lithium, PGM’s and Rare Earths, have robust macro trends with surging demands and limited supply. Going forward, this new division will explore for the minerals needed to fuel the demand for energy storage and other core 21st Century Technologies.

In addition to the Lithium Brine potential of the CV West Li Project in Nevada, the company has and is developing Hard Rock Lithium Projects in Canada (April-21st-2016-PFN- Clayton Valley). The Lithium One Project in southeast Manitoba: May-3rd-2016-PFN-Completes-acquisition-Lithium-One- is located 8.5 kilometers south of the Tanco Mine Site, North America’s richest and longest operating Hard Rock mine for Tantalum, Lithium and Cesium. Recently, PFN adds another Manitoba site: May-24th-2016-PFN-grabs-Lithman-West-Lithium-Project, along with a 3rd site: June-15th-2016-Pacific-North-West-Capital-Acquires-4th-100%-Owned-Lithium-Project-Lithman-North.

Lithium and Platinum group metal prices have improved dramatically in recent months. Lithium supplies remain in deficit relative to their demand. Both metals groups are used for the expanding worldwide automobile industry (conventional and electric). In the case of PGM’s, demand is increasing for Autocatalysts, a key component for reducing toxic emissions for automotive, gasoline and diesel engines. In regards to Lithium, there is an ever increasing demand for batteries in cellphones, laptops, electric cars, solar storage, wireless charging and renewable energy products.

Pacific North West Capital Acquires 4th 100% Owned Lithium Project Lithman North Project, Southeast Manitoba $PFN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:17 AM on Wednesday, June 15th, 2016

  • -The company acquires 4th 100% owned Lithium project-Lithman North Project is 15 kilometers to the northwest of the Tanco Mine site in southeast Manitoba-The Tanco Mine was Canada’s largest producer of Spodumene, Tantalum and Cesium, producing from the Tanco Pegmatite

    -Spodumene is mined from Pegmatites and is one of the primary Lithium ore minerals in hard rock Lithium mines

    -Lithman North project is situated approximately 17 kilometers to the northwest of the Lithium West Project and 12 kilometers north of the Lithium One Project.

    -To date this brings the total amounts of company’s claims in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field to 21, for a total of 3,691 hectares (9,120 acres)

June 15th, 2016 Vancouver, Canada / Pacific North West Capital Corp. (“PFN”, the “Company”) (TSX.V: PFN; Frankfurt: P7J.F; OTCQX: PAWEF announces that it has acquired another Lithium project in southeast Manitoba through staking. The project will be held by Lithium Canada, which is a 100% subsidiary of PFN.

The Lithman North Project is situated to the northwest of the present day Tanco Mine, which currently is producing Cesium Formate, a completion fluid for the petroleum industry. The Tanco Mine, was previously known as North America’s largest producer of Spodumene, Tantalum and Cesium. Spodumene is one of the primary Lithium ores minerals in hard rock Lithium mines. The 100% owned project consists of 3 claims for a total area of 372 hectares (919 acres).

The project area is situated in the Bird River Greenstone Belt and was staked to cover several large Pegmatites as found on government maps. The Pegmatites have had little exploration and there are no historical records. A field review of the Pegmatites showed them to be Albite Pegmatites with a complex mineralogy. Field work is being planned to explore them for the summer of 2016. They are located approximately 15 kilometers to the northwest of the Tanco Minesite and on the northern margin of the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field.

The Tanco Pegmatite was discovered on the west side of Bernic Lake from surface drilling in the 1920’s. The mine went into production in 1969 and has produced over the years, in varying capacity, and is still producing today. It is a buried Pegmatite and not exposed at surface, except for under Bernic Lake. It is an extremely fractionated, rare-metal, complex type-Petalite subgroup, LCT (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) Pegmatite and is hosted by a late stage, subvolcanic Gabbro. The total tonnage of the Tanco Gabbro Pegmatite has been calculated to be approximately 25 million tons. It is a part of the Bernic Lake Pegmatite Group of the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field.

The company considers the Lithman North Project to have the potential to host additional Lithium-bearing Pegmatites similar to others found in the region. The area has strong infrastructure and is an active mining area. The staking of this additional ground has increased the claims in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field to 21 for a total of 3,691 hectares (9,120 acres). Lithman North Project is situated approximately 17 kilometers to the northwest of the Lithium West Project and 12 kilometers north of the Lithium One Project. The project has excellent infrastructure and is located approximately 150 km (93 miles) northeast of the provincial capital, Winnipeg. Claims are to the east of Bird Lake and a gravel based highway (HWY 315) runs through the project area.

With respect to the Lithman North Project, a finder’s fee in the amount of 60,000 shares of the Company is payable to Carey Galeschuk. The finder’s fee is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

All shares issued in connection with the finder’s fee are subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issuance.

Further announcements with regards to joint venture partners and exploration plans will be forthcoming.

PhytoPain Pharma Files Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for a Topical Product for the Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain $GCI.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:54 AM on Wednesday, June 15th, 2016

Growpros

  • Announced that it has filed a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) with Health Canada for PhytoPain Topical Gel Relief (PPTGR), a locally administered therapeutic for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP)
  • Upon approval of the CTA, the Company plans to initiate a double-blind, randomized, cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical study with PPTGR in late 2016 and expects to report initial clinical data from the trial in late 2017

OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(June 15, 2016) – PhytoPain Pharma (PPP) Inc., a subsidiary of GrowPros Cannabis Ventures Inc. (“GrowPros” or the “Company” or “GCI“) (CSE:GCI), today announced that it has filed a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) with Health Canada for PhytoPain Topical Gel Relief (PPTGR), a locally administered therapeutic for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP). Upon approval of the CTA, the Company plans to initiate a double-blind, randomized, cross-over, placebo-controlled clinical study with PPTGR in late 2016 and expects to report initial clinical data from the trial in late 2017.

CINP is a common adverse effect of cancer therapy and a frequent reason why cancer patients stop their treatment early. For some patients, the severity of the symptoms can be reduced by lowering the dose of chemotherapy or temporarily stopping it. In other patients, the symptoms of CINP may last for months or years after the cancer therapy has stopped. CINP symptoms are managed using the same analgesics used to manage other types of neuropathic pain. Some of these analgesics also cause intolerable side effects in patients. The use of a topical counterirritant may help reduce the symptoms of CINP and avoid exposing some patients to oral neuropathic pain analgesics.

According to Dr. Guy Chamberland, the Company’s Chief Scientific Officer, “PPP is developing this topical product to provide cancer patients a safer, natural and more tolerable alternative in the management of CINP”. The development of the PPTGR product is in line with PPP’s strategy to bring an integrative medical approach for cancer patients suffering from pain. “The demonstration of the safety and efficacy of botanical drugs including cannabis for pain management is a critical step in the development of an evidence-based approach to integrative medical care. PPP intends on working with physicians to demonstrate that PPTGR can be safely used as an adjunct to inhalation and oral medical marijuana for the reduction of pain in cancer patients. Physicians need additional drugs that can help reduce the amount of narcotics required to manage pain while minimizing the risk of psycho active effects or tolerance to opioids, cannabis, and other narcotics commonly prescribed to patients. The intention is to develop PPTGR, and other botanical-based drugs, as adjuncts to the standard of care,” stated Dr. Chamberland.

PPTGR is a counterirritant topical gel that conforms to the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate (NNHPD) monograph. However, the intended use of counterirritant products under the NNHPD monograph does not include the temporary relief of CINP. PPP is launching a clinical trial to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PPTGR in cancer patients with CINP and work with medical oncologists to integrate the use of PPTGR in the management of CINP.

International research indicates that 60% of patients undergoing chemotherapy will suffer from varying degrees of CINP during their treatment. PPP believes it can demonstrate increased symptom alleviation using natural based agents and mixtures as opposed to the synthetic alternatives. “PPP was created to conduct cannabinoid and medicinal plant based research with the goal of developing over-the-counter products for consumers and prescription drug products for physicians that can be distributed through the existing pharmaceutical infrastructure. This submission is the first step in the growth of our vision,” commented CEO Ryan Brown.

CINP Market Size and comparison products

MARKET STATISTICS:

There were an estimated 15.2 million cancer cases globally in 2014 according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) with projections of 17.1 million cases in 2020. Roughly 25%-30% of cancer patients receive chemotherapy, and of those patients, 70%-80% experience a form of CINP. The global CINP market saw estimated revenue of $1.3 billion in 2014 with a projected 5.7% compounded annual growth rate through 2020 as cancer rates climb with growing, aged populations. Of the products available Oral delivery drug of dronabinol which is comprised of synthetic cannabinoids had sales of $110M in 2014. Similar to other mainly orally administered cannabinoids, results in relatively low bioavailability, coupled with irregular pharmacokinetics secondary to absorption variability and first-pass metabolism by the liver, complicated by the need for multiple dosages per day. In addition, many patients report nausea and/or vomiting as a side-effect related to the drug. (NEMUS BIO SCIENCE)

Many studies have concluded that natural cannabinoids offer a safer, more effective solution than their synthetic counterparts. A recent article entitled Comparison of Outcome Expectancies for Synthetic Cannabinoids and Botanical Marijuana, from The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, concluded that given growing public acceptance of recreational and medical marijuana, coupled with negative perceptions and increasing regulation of synthetic cannabinoid compounds, botanical marijuana is likely to remain more available and more popular than synthetic cannabinoids.

PPP is proud to position itself as a leader in the development of natural pharmaceuticals derived Cannabis and other medicinal plants,” commented CEO Ryan Brown.

Darren Blaney, American Creek’s CEO, states: “We are pleased to have closed these two JV transactions with Walter Storm’s Tudor Gold Corp. We are very much looking forward to the advancement of both the Treaty Creek and Electrum projects.

The Treaty Creek property is located immediately adjacent to, and on geological trend with Seabridge Gold’s KSM project and north of the Pretivm Resources Brucejack project. The Sulphurets Thrust Fault, which has been identified by BC government geologists as being related to all of Seabridge’s KSM property gold-copper deposits, continues northeast through the Treaty Creek property.

The Electrum property is located approximately 45km north of Stewart, British Columbia, near past operating mines including the Riverside, Scotty Gold, Granduc, Big Missouri and Silbak-Premier. The Electrum is road accessible and is only 45km from recently upgraded concentrate shipping port facilities located in Stewart. A new electrical power line currently being constructed by Pretivm Resources runs right up the valley beside the Electrum project and may provide a future source of power. The Electrum property encompasses the historic East Gold Mine which has produced extremely high grades of gold, silver and electrum in the past, over 25 years of small-scale hand mining. Past work completed by American Creek has identified several areas on the property which contain very high grade gold and silver vein systems.
