St-Georges to Focus on Julie Nickel Discovery; Withdrawal of Zambian Interest

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:29 PM on Friday, January 9th, 2015

Baie-Comeau, Quebec / January 9, 2015 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) (US OTC: SXOOF) today announces its intention to terminate all efforts to acquire and develop projects in Zambia. The company had previously signed an agreement in February 2014 in order to acquire two sizeable Copper-Cobalt projects in Zambia. The difficulty to finalize a proper due diligence had forced the company to put these negotiations on hold in the summer of 2014. The Company had mentioned that it was entertaining the acquisition of another project in Zambia at that point without giving more details. The management of St-Georges has taken the strategic decision to focus all its attention to the new Nickel discovery at its wholly owned Julie Nickel Project.

FINANCIAL SITUATION & OTHER CORPORATE MATTERS

As of December 31, 2014 the Company had 34,504,463 shares issued and outstanding. It also had 1,182,692 outstanding options at a weighted average exercise price of $0.27 per share and, $230,000 of Convertible Debentures carrying an annual 6% cumulative interest rate expiring July 2, 2023. These Debentures are convertible at any time at a price related to average market prices subject to a minimum conversion rate of $0.10 per share. There are currently no outstanding warrants.

Internal, unaudited financial statements of the Company to December 31, 2014 show Net Assets of $1,512,249. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in these unaudited financial statements at December 31, 2014 amounted to $557,340 and included an amount of $285,888 payable to Directors, Officers and Executives of St-Georges and $191,208.27 that are optional liabilities that the Company is currently reviewing.

JULIE NICKEL DISCOVERY

Results from Agat Laboratories are expected in the coming days from the latest surface campaign conducted on the Julie Nickel Project. Last week St-Georges published the initial results from the latest campaign. The table below constitute a recapitulation of these results already published in a press release on December 29, 2014:

Results Summary

A surface mineralized zone of 70 by 56 meters referred to as “T1” has been identified. All initial results below come from this zone. The ultramafic intrusive suite which hosts the new discovery can be traced in the geophysic data obtain by St-Georges in 2011 for approximately 13 kilometres on a WSW to NE trend. At this point it appears that the mineralized zone remains open in all directions.

The table below outline the initial and partial results from a 17.26 meters channel cut executed along the identified conductor on the T1 zone at a 45º angle:

From To Interval* Nickel Copper Cobalt
(Metres) (Metres) (Metres) (%) (%) (%)
T1 Channel 1 0 8.49 8.49 1.71 0.271 0.0347
including 0 3.62 3.62 2.07 0.31 0.04

* Reported channel cuts sections are not true widths. An apparent surface width of 15 meters can be calculated but at this time there is insufficient data with respect to the shape of the mineralization to calculate true orientations in space.

The starting point of the channel cut was located at N49° 57.463′ W69° 27.045′

Results from a man-held portable drill hole are also available. The hole was drilled from surface to the shallow depth of 0.52 meters at a 90º angle and was assay as a whole. The drill hole was located at N49° 57.467′ W69° 27.046′.

CLIENT FEATURE: Robix (RZX: CSE) Revolutionary Oil Spill Clean Up Technology

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:43 PM on Thursday, January 8th, 2015

RZX: CSE

  • The COV’s rapid recovery rate and large on-board storage result in low per barrel recovery cost.
  • The COV’s simple design minimizes down time for repair and maintenance.
  • A two-man crew can be easily trained and the COV vessel can operate long hours without interruption
  • Goal to be selling COV products in the first half of 2015

Design Versatility

  • COV’S can be scaled to meet various application requirements (sizes range from 10 Ft., 20 Ft., 40 Ft., 80 Ft., 100 Ft. (references to length of vessel
  • A standard 40-foot COV is 40 feet in length, 26 feet in width, and 12 feet in depth
  • Recently completed the engineering drawings for the Clean Ocean Vessel (COV) and ordered critical components to initiate construction on the COV

Recent Highlights

  • Signed an exclusive manufacturing agreement with Rayco Steel Ltd, to manufacture the Clean Ocean Vessel
  • Based on market analysis Robix has decided to commence construction of a 10ft COV
  • Creating a new business division, through a subsidiary entity, to enter into the marine industry.

How the COV compares to the competition:

  • Rates of oil recovered and recovery-throughput efficiencies are noted as “oil rate of recovery” (ORR) and “recovery efficiency” (RE).
  • The water surface lifting force generated by the COV’s patented contra-rotating drums acts in a suction or pumping manner that increases the ORR compared to conventional skimmer systems and the RE of the COV is in the 90-97% range. This is competitive with best in class 21st century technology in terms of ORR and RE.
  • Further improvements to the ORR (in terms of gallons per minute) could easily catapult the COV to “top three” status, by increasing the surface area of the drums through design modifications without impairing the stability of the vessel which is inherent to the COV design.
  • When our competitors’ skimmer systems meet waves above 18 inches, they are forced to suspend service. The COV operates in rough sea conditions (as high as 8 feet waves), significantly out-performing its competitors, and stands in a class of its own.

Quebec Quartz Montpetit Quarry Assay Results, Validated as Suitable for High Purity Ferrosilicon and High Purity Quartz Applications

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:28 PM on Thursday, January 8th, 2015

Montreal, Quebec /January 8, 2015 / Uragold Bay Resources Inc. (“Uragold”) (TSX Venture: UBR) is pleased to announce that it’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quebec Quartz, has received assay results for samples taken on the Montpetit Quarry quartz (silica) property located in the Monteregie Region of Quebec, some 40 km south of Montreal and 7 km south of Saint-Clotilde-de-Chateauguay

The corrected SiO2 average for 9 of the 10 samples assayed is 99.46 %, ranging from 99.16% to 99.67%. The corrected SiO2 average for the 10 samples assayed is 99.13%, ranging from 96.21% to 99.67%. These results validate the fact that a significant portion of the Quartz material from the Montpetit Property would make suitable feedstock for High Purity Ferrosilicon, and could be amenable to be beneficiated to Silicon Metal purity requirement and even high purity quartz sands.

Patrick Levasseur, President and COO of Uragold stated, “We are extremely happy with these results, just like our Roncevaux property, it shows that the Montpetit Quarry has great potential.” Mr. Levasseur added, “2015 will be an exciting year as we continue to develop Quebec Quartz’s exciting high purity silica projects while developing two gold mines in the Beauce region of Quebec.”

IMPORTANCE OF QUARTZ (SILICA)

Quartz (SiO2) is one of the most abundant minerals. It occurs in many different settings and in many different rock types. However, High Purity Quartz deposits with low impurities are rare and only a few deposits are suitable in volume, quality and amenability to be tailored to refining methods for specialty high purity applications.

High Purity Quartz (HPQ), and Silicon Metal is used in large part in the aluminum industry while Ultra High Purity Quartz (UHPQ) has become one of today’s key strategic minerals with applications in high-tech industries that include semiconductors, LCD displays, fused quartz tubing, microelectronics, solar silicon applications and recently, Silicon Anode Lithium Batteries.

GO FORWARD PLAN:

The Corporation intends to advance the development of the Montpetit project by completing the following steps during Q1 & Q2 2015:

  1. 1.Send material to specialized laboratories to find the best beneficiation process to transform the Montpetit Quartz material into Silicon Metal grade material and further test to see if the material could be purified to the Ultra High Purity Quartz specifications needed for advanced material and pharmaceutical applications.

High Purity Quartz beneficiated to 99.998% Si02 can command prices up to
US$ 6,000/T (Source: Dorfner Anzaplan). The Corporation intends to focus its interest on this segment of the market.

Run of mine quartz for usage as Ferrosilicon commands sale price averages between US$ 50/T to US$100/T; while run of mine quartz for Silicon Metal commands sale prices averaging between US$ 100/T to US$ 250/T.

  1. 2.Evaluating the Property Potential.

The exact volume of the quartzite body found on the Montpetit Property needs to be confirmed and measured. Furthermore, the grade distribution needs to be better understood. Of significance will be identifying, the controls that could explain the one-outlier result found in the assay results.

Average 99.05 0.38 0.06 0.19 99.92 99.13%

The total exploration area of the Montpetit deposit is 2.42 Km2, while the old quarry is 100 m long by 35 m large and is inside a tabular quartzite. The deposit is composed of consolidated beach sand that diagenesis has transformed into a quartzite. In order to have a good sampling spread, 5 samples were taken at different zones of the quartzite deposit. Each quartzite layer along the stratigraphy has been sampled.

In 1956, 3,000 tons of quartzite averaging 99.27% SiO2 was mined from the Montpetit Quarry and used to produce ferrosilicon (Source: Resources Naturelles du Quebec, Sigeom 2014, Work Reports GM03695).

The material was first sent to the INRS (Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique) laboratory in Quebec City to be prepared for testing for Silica values. 10 prepared samples (an original and a duplicate) were sent to the Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, Ontario for whole rock and trace elements assay (FUS X-Ray Fluorescence (“XRF”)).

The average losses in ignition (“LOI”) (material and moisture burned off during the assays) for the 10 samples is 0.19% (ranging between 0.13% and 0.36%) this suggest that a certain percentage of the alkali metals are present as a carbonate molecule, and with an average laboratory total of 99.92% (ranging between 98.80 % and 100.6%), a correction for the loss of carbonate is required in order to present the actual SiO2 grade of the samples.

Gupta: ‘I am doubling down’ on medical marijuana


Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN Cheif Medical Correspondent. We have no affiliation with this well known medical expert, but his latest “Doubling Down” on the medical marijuana sector is worthy of your attention. Reasons such as these convince us we are doing the right thing in entering this market.

Medical marijuana and ‘the entourage effect’

Today, most Americans and most Canadians support some form of medical use of marijuana, in poll after poll.

Likewise, the legal marijuana industry is and will be heavily regulated, and we support that. We’ve already proven our ability to be transparent with our stakeholders and our ability to work within all applicable government regulations. We promise to deliver that transparency and dedication to the legal marijuana industry where these traits are a vital component towards ultimate success.


The medical marijuana business just might be one of the most recession-proof industry sectors there are. There is no boom and bust cycle that is apparent. The average demographic age in North America continues to increase, with over 44 million people in the USA today at the age of 65 or over. Age-related illnesses will continue to grow, and some fraction of these people looking for an alternative to opiate-based painkillers have a real need for pain-relief choices.

KWG Receives Promising Search Report From Patent Authority, Negotiating Black Horse Terms

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:16 PM on Tuesday, January 6th, 2015

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Jan. 6, 2015) – KWG Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:KWG)(FRANKFURT:KW6) announces that it has received from the US Patent Office’s International Searching Authority the International Search Report in response to its application to patent a new process for the direct reduction of chromite utilizing natural gas, a carbon reductant, and a catalyst formulation. The Search Report indicates that the Searcher found the applicant’s claims are novel and that prior art does not teach or fairly suggest anything similar. The Report also indicates that the claims have industrial applicability as defined by PCT Article 33(4) because the subject matter can be made or used in industry.

“This is a major step forward in our prosecution of this patent application,” said KWG President Frank Smeenk. “We will now determine in which countries to seek patent protection of this process, beyond Canada and the United States of America. Our discussions and negotiations with chromite industry participants have helped us understand how and where this innovation might best be commercialized, as we have recently shared with Minister Rickford as he requested.”

The Company also announces that prior to December 30th, 2014 it proposed terms to Bold Ventures Inc. (“Bold”) for the further amendment of the agreement between them for the acquisition of the mineral rights in the Black Horse deposit. The Black Horse mineral rights may be acquired by Bold under an option agreement with Fancamp Exploration Ltd. Previously, Bold and KWG had extended to December 30, 2014, the deadline by which KWG must provide notice that it intends to make the $700,000 option payment due February 7, 2015 under the KWG/Bold Option Agreement and expend an aggregate of $8,000,000 on the property by March 31, 2015. KWG has to date incurred $5.8 million of the $8.0 million required expenditure and is proceeding with a prospectus offering of securities to fund the additional work.

About KWG: KWG has a 30% interest in the Big Daddy chromite deposit and the right to earn 80% of the Black Horse chromite where resources are being defined. KWG has also acquired patent interests, including a method for the direct reduction of chromite to metalized iron and chrome using natural gas. KWG also owns 100% of Canada Chrome Corporation which has staked claims and conducted a $15 million surveying and soil testing program for the engineering and construction of a railroad to the Ring of Fire from Exton, Ontario.

What is Xylitol you ask?

  • Xylitol is a sugar alcohol – and no, that doesn’t mean there’s alcohol in it. It’s also known as a polyol. Sugar alcohols contain fewer calories and fewer carbohydrates than other sweeteners. Replacing sugar with xylitol can be helpful if you’re trying to lose weight or even to help prevent weight gain.

What does xylitol taste like?

  • Xylitol is a white crystalline granule that looks and tastes like sugar. The good news is that it doesn’t have the negative side effects associated with sugar. Xylitol is low-calorie, low-carb, diabetic safe and we think it’s guilt free!

Where does your xylitol come from?

  • Xyla brand xylitol is extracted from North American grown hardwood trees, and it’s delicious. We believe the practices employed in the harvesting and processing of our xylitol are ecologically sustainable. Xylitol is also naturally occurring in many fruits and vegetables. Did you know the human body makes about 15 grams of xylitol per day?

Xylitol Canada, Inc. emerged in 2004 as a reseller and distributor of Xylitol and Xylitol products. Based in Toronto, Ontario, the company continued to grow and develop additional brands under the names Sweet Diabetic Delight and Xylitol Canada. Realizing the market potential for high quality, readily available, and consistently priced Xylitol and Xylitol products, the Company broadened its strategic vision in 2009.

Realizing that the void in the Xylitol market was based on inadequate supply and lack of awareness, the company initiated a 2-tier business expansion plan that sought to solve both of these problems. With the vision of a full scale North American Xylitol production facility as a critical element of this strategy, the Company reached out to the Capital markets and formally went public in April of 2010. With the capital base to aggressively address the marketplace, the company immediately began executing its business plan.

Xylitol In The Media

Daytime Toronto – Rogers TV (Aug 2013) – Julie Reid from Xylitol Canada appears with Mari Loewen from Anna Magazine to make some delicious recipes using North American hardwood derived Xyla xylitol.

Daytime Ottawa – Rogers TV (June 2013) – Xylitol Canada’s Julie Reid and naturopath Helene Huot discuss the benefits of Xyla xylitol and share great summer recipes using Xyla.

Is Sugar Toxic? – 60 Minutes (May 4th, 2013) – Sugar is the most addictive substance on earth. It’s also the most dangerous and toxic substance anyone can consume. Sugar has similar affects on the brain like cocaine. Heart disease, cancer, diabetes type II and many more are linked to processed sugar.

Sugary Drinks Linked To 180,000 Deaths Worldwide – CNN (March 19, 2013) – “One in every 100 deaths from obesity-related diseases is caused by drinking sugary beverages,” says study author Gitanjali Singh, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health.
