#EV sector growth supports robust #nickel outlook $TN.ca $ROX.ca $FF.ca $EDG.ca $AGL.ca $ANZ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:02 PM on Monday, September 10th, 2018
  • Growth in nickel demand from the stainless steel and electrical vehicle (EV) sectors were the main topics of discussion at the Anglo American nickel seminar in Shanghai on Thursday September 6.
  • Increasing sales of EVs since 2012, in response to global subsidies for the production of EVs with a longer driving range, has resulted in accelerated nickel-containing battery output.

By Violet Li

Increasing sales of EVs since 2012, in response to global subsidies for the production of EVs with a longer driving range, has resulted in accelerated nickel-containing battery output.

“While nickel prices have been low in the past several years, it has been a fantastic time for end users and the growing use of nickel,” nickel analyst Barry Jackson of Anglo American said.

The three-month nickel price on the London Metals Exchange stood at $12,360-12,400 per tonne on Friday, vastly down from the all-time peak at $48,695-48,700 per tonne on April 2007, but up year on year from $11,640-11,650 per tonne.

There has been substantial growth in new nickel applications, such as EV, and existing nickel application in stainless steel, with the share of nickel contained in stainless steel and usage of nickel in batteries rising since 2007.

“The two very positive trends for nickel consumption in batteries will be the growing share of Ni-containing lithium-ion batteries and growing share of nickel in the batteries,” Jackson added.

Batteries for stationary storage is a growing area for nickel consumption. Meanwhile, home energy storage holds another potential end use for nickel.

Other speakers at the seminar also pointed to urbanization and modernization in infrastructure as positive growth markets for nickel use.

“With the urbanization in China and other countries, water distribution infrastructure will embrace a booming era, and that also means more nickel usage,” Philip Song, chief representative manager in China of the Nickel Institute, said at the conference.

  • Peeks Social is also available on iOS and Android
  • MAUs grew to 314,168 for August 2018, as compared to 245,875 for July 2018, and 146,496 for June 2018.
  • The growth in MAUs was substantially all sourced from the web platform

TORONTO, Sept. 10, 2018 — Peeks Social Ltd. (TSXV: PEEK; OTCQB: PKSLF) (“Peeks Social” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Peeks Social platform’s Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”) has increased by 114% since the launch of the web platform (www.peeks.social) on July 9, 2018. Peeks Social is also available on iOS and Android. MAUs grew to 314,168 for August 2018, as compared to 245,875 for July 2018, and 146,496 for June 2018. The growth in MAUs was substantially all sourced from the web platform.

“The launch of our upgraded web portal has led to robust and significant growth in new users coming the Peeks Social platform.  Although we have witnessed a slight cannibalization of users transitioning from the app to the website, the offsetting growth in users and higher conversion rates from our web marketing efforts have exceeded our initial expectations,” states Mark Itwaru, CEO of the Company. “I would like to congratulate our technical team on the achievement of a successful product launch.”

The Company also announces that user deposits and user sessions for the second quarter (three months ended August 31, 2018) were $1.4 million and 6.5 million, respectively, as compared to $1.4 million and 6.2 million, respectively, for the first quarter (three months ending May 31, 2018). The website of the Peeks Social platform does not yet contain the full purchase functionality of the app platforms, and as such the increase in MAUs has not yet had a direct impact on user deposits. Full purchase functionality will be available on the web platform imminently.

The Company also announces that it has closed a non-brokered private placement. The Company issued an aggregate of 2,250,000 units at a price of $0.12 per unit, for total gross consideration from this private placement of $270,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant of the Company. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The common shares and warrants are subject to a four month hold period. The private placement is subject to the Company obtaining final acceptance from the TSX Venture Exchange upon the filing of required materials in due course. The Company paid aggregate finder’s fees of $21,600 to eligible arm’s length parties in connection with this private placement. Proceeds raised through the private placement will be used for the marketing and advancement of the “Peeks Social” platform, as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Data for MAUs and user sessions was provided through Google Analytics. For additional information on Google Analytics’ definitions of these terms and the methods of calculating these metrics, please refer to https://support.google.com/analytics .

Monarques Gold $MQR.ca Sells its Interest in the Chimo Property to Chalice Gold Mines $GDX.ca $ECR.ca $MZZ.ca $QMX.ca $IMG.ca $IAG $MUX

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:29 AM on Monday, September 10th, 2018

Monarquesgold hub large

  • Announced that it has sold its 30% interest in the Chimo property to Chalice Gold Mines Limited (ASX:CHN; TSX:CXN) in consideration of 3 million fully-paid ordinary Chalice shares and a net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty of 0.5-1.5% (0.5% on the claims with pre-existing royalties and 1.5% on all other claims)
  • Chalice is entitled to buy back 0.5% of the NSR royalty from Monarques for $1.0 million at any time

MONTREAL, Sept. 10, 2018 - MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to announce that it has sold its 30% interest in the Chimo property to Chalice Gold Mines Limited (“Chalice”) (ASX:CHN; TSX:CXN) in consideration of 3 million fully-paid ordinary Chalice shares and a net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty of 0.5-1.5% (0.5% on the claims with pre-existing royalties and 1.5% on all other claims). Chalice is entitled to buy back 0.5% of the NSR royalty from Monarques for $1.0 million at any time.

Previously, Chalice exercised an option in March 2018 to earn a 70% interest in the property under an option and farm-in agreement that called for it to incur $3.1 million in exploration expenditures, make option payments totalling $200,000 and grant Monarques a 1% NSR royalty on certain claims.

“This is a good deal for both companies, as it allows Chalice to consolidate its position in its highly prospective East Cadillac Gold Project and Monarques to keep an interest in this mining play while continuing to focus on its core assets, namely the Wasamac gold project,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques.

It also offers custom milling services out of its 1,600 tonne-per-day Camflo mill.

PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Announces Intention to Purchase Up to 4.1% of its Common Shares in Open Market

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:42 AM on Thursday, September 6th, 2018

Pyr header 1

  • Announced today that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid  through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange
  • Pursuant to the NCIB, PyroGenesis proposes to purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months, up to 5,000,000 (approx. 4.1%) of its common shares issued and outstanding

MONTREAL, Sept. 06, 2018 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR), a TSX Venture 50® high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

Pursuant to the NCIB, PyroGenesis proposes to purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months, up to 5,000,000 (approx. 4.1%) of its common shares issued and outstanding (the “Shares”). As of the date hereof, there are 122,895,342 Shares of PyroGenesis issued and outstanding.

Purchases under the NCIB will commence on acceptance and approval of the TSXV and will expire on the earlier of: (i) one year from such commencement; or (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of Shares to be acquired under the NCIB. All purchases made by the Company will be through Pollitt & Co. Inc. acting on behalf of the Company in accordance with the rules of the TSXV. The actual number of Shares which will be purchased, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by the Company, and the price which the Company will pay for the Shares will be the market price at the time of the purchase.

The Company’s Board of Directors believe that the market price of the Company’s Shares does not reflect the underlying value of the Company, specifically its growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its Shares is in the best interests of the Company and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds. Any purchases made by the Company could also enhance value and liquidity for its ongoing shareholders.

“At these price levels, we find the value of our shares to be an attractive investment and, as such, a good use of funds, particularly given our recent press releases which describe, amongst other things that (i) the Company contracted for an order of 10 tons (minimum) of titanium powders, (ii) is now recommended by a leading 3D printer OEM to their customers, (iii) has embraced a tolling strategy for its Drosrite™ system with joint venture discussions in progress, and (iv) interest by the US Military for two (2) aircraft carrier systems continues.  This is all within the background of being nominated “Materials Company of the Year” at the 3D Printing Industry Awards 2018, and continued strategic commercial discussions with significant players within the Additive Manufacturing industry,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Despite our daily trading volume being respectable, we believe that the share price does not fully reflect this news. We find it inconceivable that PyroGenesis is approximately half the market value than it was at the end of January 2018, particularly given the news released since that time. As such, we feel it is an opportune time to buy PyroGenesis’ shares.”

  • A Canadian eSports company is the latest to try and offer its own cryptocurrency
  • Canada Cup is introducing the eSports ecosystem digital token (because, apparently, it couldn’t be creative enough to come up with a unique name), which will reportedly empower all gamers through the creation of a digital eSports currency specifically for the community

BY Erik Gibbs ON September 05, 2018

ESE will offer a medium to transfer value, reward both casual and professional players and compliment the current fiat-based payout structure. The token is designed, as described by Canada Cup, to fill a gap that prevents a number of casual gamers from being rewarded for their participation.

ESE token holders can passively earn more tokens through Canada Cup’s “staking rewards” program. This will provide an additional income source to both gamers and organizers, which will help them finance future participation. An ESE Loyalty Nodes program is also anticipated, and is designed to provide stability to the token award program above and beyond the passive awards users can accumulate. The staking rewards and Loyalty Nodes programs won’t be ready until sometime during the first quarter of next year.

A community wallet, representing 17% of the token’s initial supply, will be used to give back to the community. It will offer a variety of prize pools, player and team sponsorships, scholarships, charity donations and eSports advertisements.

Canada Cup, which was founded in 2010, hosts a number of tournaments for a variety of fighting games and is behind “the largest and most prestigious fighting game tournament in Canada,” the Canadian Fighting Game tournament.

According to the ESE white paper (in pdf), the currency will solve a number of problems, including complimenting fiat payouts by adding ESE tokens from the community wallet, which would increase the value of the total prize pool to support professional gamers financially and make it easier to transition into a gaming career.

It also promises to broaden payout structures to allow more players to reap rewards from tournaments, which means rewards are no longer limited to the top echelon of players, but can be extended to casual players due to an increased prize pool. Lastly, the currency will encourage tournament organizers to continue hosting events by supporting these events financially with ESE tokens from the community wallet to ensure that these events are sustainable, according to the company.

  • Hole CR-18-606 returned 8.24 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 26.38 g/t Au over 2.6 metres
  • This intersection lies 328 vertical metres below surface, 54 metres north of and 34 metres below the mineralized intersection of hole CN-88-133, which was used to design the deepest stope in the mining plan

Drilling confirms grades for planned bulk sampling areas and continues to expand the deposit at depth and to the west

MONTREAL, Sept. 5, 2018 – MONARQUES GOLD CORPORATION (“Monarques”, “Monarques Gold” or the “Corporation”) (TSXV:MQR) (OTCMKTS:MRQRF) (FRANKFURT:MR7) is pleased to report additional assay results from the 2018 diamond drilling program at its wholly owned Croinor Gold project 50 kilometres east of Val-d’Or, Québec. The 20,000-metre program started in March 2018 and is focused on the expansion and infilling of the Croinor Gold deposit. The Phase 2 results are from a total of 5,327 metres of drilling in 27 holes (see plan view). Phase 2 drilling is complete, with assays pending, and Phase 3 drilling has started.

The Croinor Gold deposit is hosted in a sheared diorite sill three kilometres long by 60–120 metres wide, striking 295 degrees north and dipping 50–65 degrees to the north. The mineralization is associated with pyrite found within and adjacent to quartz-tourmaline veins. The goal of Phase 2 was to extend the Croinor Gold deposit farther west and infill the two areas slated for underground bulk sampling.

Hole CR-18-606 returned 8.24 g/t Au over 9.0 metres, including 26.38 g/t Au over 2.6 metres. This intersection lies 328 vertical metres below surface, 54 metres north of and 34 metres below the mineralized intersection of hole CN-88-133, which was used to design the deepest stope in the mining plan. Hole CR-18-601, drilled on the western part of the Croinor Gold deposit, 84 metres west of the nearest hole (CR-11-401) on the same horizon, returned 5.30 g/t Au over 1.1 metres in an intersection 336 metres below surface. These results show that the deposit is still open both at depth and to the west, and that further drilling is warranted.

Hole CR-18-610 returned 5.67 g/t Au over 7.0 metres just below the 500-foot level drift of the old mine, enlarging a planned stope on this level.

Infill drilling of two areas slated for bulk sampling returned 18.45 g/t Au over 0.9 metres, 12.00 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 11.25 g/t Au over 1.0 metres from the area on the 125-foot level and 12.50 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, 6.34 g/t Au over 1.2 metres and 4.68 g/t Au over 1.2 metres from the area on the 250-foot level, in addition to other values shown in the table below. These encouraging numbers confirm and expand the two areas planned for bulk sampling on two different levels.  The area on the 125-foot level is in the western part of the deposit and the area on the 250-foot level is near the old shaft in the middle of the deposit.

“Drilling on Croinor Gold continues to generate excellent results,” said Jean-Marc Lacoste, President and Chief Executive Officer of Monarques. “Like Phase 1, Phase 2 was a success, striking mineralized zones in 26 of the 27 holes, returning a number of high-grade intersections and enabling us to confirm the grades and continuity of the gold structures in the planned bulk samples areas and extend the deposit at depth and to the west. As we await the final results for Phase 2, we have commenced Phase 3 drilling, which in addition to definition drilling on planned stopes in the western sector of the deposit is focused on other promising exploration targets on the 151 km2  Croinor Gold property. From what we know of Croinor Gold to date, we believe that its gold discovery potential remains essentially untapped.”

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 3.0 g/t are re-assayed using the gravity method, and samples containing gold grains are assayed using the metallic sieve method. Monarques uses a comprehensive QA/QC protocol, including the insertion of standards, blanks and duplicates.
