Post date March 4, 2019

TORONTO , March 1, 2019 /CNW/ – Aethon Minerals Corp. (“Aethon”) (AET.V) and AbraPlata Resource Corp. (“AbraPlata”) (TSX-V: ABRA & OTCPK: ABBRF) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding letter agreement (the “Agreement”), whereby Aethon will have the exclusive right for a period of approximately five months to (i) perform technical due diligence on AbraPlata’s Diablillos silver-gold project (the “Project”) in Argentina and (ii) negotiate with AbraPlata the terms of an option or other transaction whereby Aethon could acquire a 50% or greater interest in the Project. SSR Mining Inc. (“SSRM”) (SSRM) (SSRM.TO), the original vendor of the Project to AbraPlata, has indicated its intention to support in principle the transactions to be negotiated by the parties pursuant to the Agreement.

The Diablillos project is located in the mining-friendly province of Salta in northwestern Argentina , approximately 150 km southwest of the city of Salta. The Project comprises nine mineral leases acquired by AbraPlata in 2016 from SSRM (formerly Silver Standard Resources Inc.), with multiple known occurrences of epithermal gold-silver mineralization. Exploration work, conducted by a number of operators over the history of the Project, includes approximately 88,000 meters of diamond and reverse circulation drilling in over 475 holes. This drilling has delineated the Oculto and Fantasma deposits, which are weathered high-sulphidation epithermal gold-silver deposits.

Historical Mineral Resource estimates for the Oculto and Fantasma deposits on the Diablillos property, based on a technical report dated April 16, 2018 , are summarized in Table 1. For purposes of Aethon, the Company is reporting the mineral resource as a Historical Estimate per NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. A qualified person for Aethon has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Aethon is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves

Table 1 – Diablillos Historical Mineral Resource Estimates

Category	Deposit	Tonnage (000t)	Ag (g/t)	Au (g/t)	Contained Ag (000 oz Ag)	Contained Au (000 oz Au)
Indicated	Oculto	26,850	93.0	0.85	80,300	732
Indicated	Fantasma	200	98.3	–	650	–
Total Indicated		27,100	93.1	0.84	80,940	732
Inferred	Oculto	1,000	46.8	0.89	1,510	29
Inferred	Fantasma	80	75.3	–	190	–
Total Inferred		1,100	48.8	0.83	1,690	29

Notes:
1.	Full details of the historical mineral resource estimates can be found in a report by RPA Inc. titled “Technical Report on the Diablillos Project, Salta Province, Argentina” dated April 16, 2018. This report can be found under AbraPlata’s profile on www.SEDAR.com. It is believed that minimal work would be required to upgrade or verify the historical estimate as current mineral resources.
2.	CIM definitions were followed for Mineral Resources.
3.	Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut off grade of 40 g/t AgEq for Oculto and 40 g/t Ag for Fantasma.
4.	Mineral Resources are estimated using long-term metal prices of US$1,500/oz Au and US$23/oz Ag.
5.	Average bulk density is 2.22 t/m3 for the Indicated category and 2.29 t/m3 for Inferred for Oculto and 2.00 t/m3 for both Indicated and Inferred categories for Fantasma.
6.	The estimate was constrained by pit shells for both Oculto and Fantasma.

Highlights of the Project

The Diablillos project contains a historical estimate of Measured and Indicated Resources of over 80 million ounces of silver and 730,000 ounces of gold, or 142 million silver-equivalent ounces at spot prices. Mineralization remains open at depth with excellent potential for extensions of high grade mineralization.
Aethon and AbraPlata believe exploration potential exists to increase resources significantly, especially gold resources. Hydrothermal breccias at Oculto extend into the basement and have strong potential for high grade gold mineralization and to date have been largely untested.
With funding from Aethon, the main Oculto deposit at Diablillos will be categorized into geometallurgical domains based on re-logging and structural geology work done by AbraPlata. A metallurgical test work program will be conducted on existing samples with the aim of optimizing the flowsheet for the Project and estimating silver and gold recoveries. This work is expected to take three to four months.

Mr. John Miniotis , Interim CEO of Aethon, commented, “This transaction represents an outstanding opportunity for Aethon to become involved in a high-quality, advanced exploration project. In addition to the already substantial defined silver and gold historic resource at Diablillos, the Project hosts several under-explored targets that we believe offer excellent opportunities for new discoveries in a favourable mining jurisdiction. Opportunities of this nature are few and far between, and we look forward to working with AbraPlata with the aim of creating value for our respective shareholders.”

Mr. Hernan Zaballa , Chairman of AbraPlata, commented, “We are excited to be entering into this agreement with Aethon, which brings additional technical expertise and financial resources that can help us advance the Diablillos project. Also, in the event that we are successful in negotiating with Aethon, in the coming months, arrangements that will permit our respective shareholders to jointly participate in the rewards that will come from combining our efforts and resources in the further exploration and advancement of the Project, we take comfort that SSRM has indicated a willingness to consider deferring the due dates of scheduled property payments so that we can maximize the funds available for exploring and advancing the Project. We wish to thank SSRM for its flexibility and support.”

Transaction Summary

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Agreement:

Aethon shall have the exclusive right until July 26, 2019 (the “Exclusivity Period”), to complete its due diligence and negotiate the terms of, and enter into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with AbraPlata, pursuant to which Aethon can earn a 50% interest in the Project.
In consideration for the Exclusivity Period, Aethon agrees to make an upfront payment of USD$50,000 to AbraPlata.
By June 28, 2019 , Period, Aethon will spend a minimum of USD$150,000 on expenditures in connection with a metallurgical testing program and other related test work to be carried out on the Project.

If Aethon fulfills the above covenants and elects to exercise the Option by fulfilling the conditions, Aethon and AbraPlata shall negotiate the Option Agreement. On exercise of the Option, Aethon shall:

issue to AbraPlata the number of Aethon common shares that would result in AbraPlata owning 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding Aethon shares; and
subscribe, by way of a private placement, for a number of AbraPlata common shares that would result in Aethon owning 9.9% of the then issued and outstanding AbraPlata shares. The subscription price per AbraPlata share to be issued shall be equal to the greater of (i) the closing market price of AbraPlata on the day that the Option is exercised, and (ii) CAD$0.06 .

AbraPlata also has written assurances from SSRM that it will forbear from enforcing payment of an outstanding NSR royalty payment until October 31, 2019 , provided no further event of default occurs, and that it would consider providing its agreement to delay property payments of USD$5 million and USD$7 million by up to four years under certain circumstances, including a merger of Aethon and AbraPlata, provided that it is satisfied with the definitive transaction terms and the provision of such security and other assurances as it determines to be necessary or desirable to protect and preserve its rights and interests, and it receives certain additional consideration.

Investors are cautioned that there is no assurance that Aethon and AbraPlata will successfully negotiate an Option Agreement or other transaction whereby Aethon would acquire an interest in the Project or that any such transaction, if successfully negotiated, would ultimately be consummated.

Next Steps

Aethon’s first phase program on the Diablillos Project will have several objectives, including:

A review of the drill data on the Oculto zone to determine how representative the sampling for metallurgical testing of the open pit resource silver dominant zone has been. This review will determine whether additional sampling/metallurgical testing is required for the open pit scenario and, if so, additional test-work will be completed;
A review of additional epithermal style gold dominant resources within the Diablillos project area in preparation for future reconnaissance drilling; and
A review of historical drill data to determine if higher grade silver and gold zones could potentially be exploited using underground mining methods.

AbraPlata Management Change and Issuance of Stock Options

AbraPlata announces that Willem Fuchter has resigned as President and CEO, effective immediately. Mr. Fuchter will continue to serve as a director of AbraPlata and will provide additional services under a consulting agreement. The board of directors of AbraPlata thanks Mr. Fuchter for his role in creating the company and advancing the understanding of the Diablillos project. Robert Bruggeman , a director of AbraPlata, has been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Bruggeman has more than 20 years of corporate development and financial markets experience and has worked with AbraPlata since November 2017 .

EMX ROYALTY Options the Røstvangen and Vakkerlien Properties in Norway to Playfair Mining

Post author By admin
Post date March 4, 2019

March 4, 2019
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 4, 2019 (TSX Venture: EMX; NYSE American: EMX) – EMX Royalty Corporation (the “Company” or “EMX”) is pleased to announce the execution of an exploration and option agreement (the “Agreement”) for the Røstvangen volcanogenic massive sulfide (“VMS”) property and Vakkerlien nickel-copper-cobalt property in Norway (collectively the “Project”) with Playfair Mining Ltd. (“Playfair”) (TSX Venture: PLY). The Agreement provides EMX with immediate share equity in Playfair, and upon Playfair’s completion of the option terms and other consideration, a 9.9% interest in Playfair, a 3% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty on the Project, and advance royalty payments.
The Røstvangen property hosts a >30 kilometer long trend of geophysical anomalies and VMS-type mineralization, as well as the Kvikne copper deposits, that occur in one of Norway’s oldest mining districts. On the directly adjoining Vakkerlien property, nickel mineralization was discovered in the 1870s, and was the subject of drill campaigns from the 1970s through the early 2000s that led to the discovery of nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization.
Commercial Terms Overview. Pursuant to the Agreement, Playfair can earn 100% interest in the Project by the issuance of shares to EMX and performance of work during the one-year option period, as described below (all dollar amounts in CDN):

On signing the Agreement, subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, Playfair will issue to EMX 3 million common shares of Playfair stock.
As a condition to the exercise of the option, Playfair must complete work commitments of at least $250,000 on the Project, and must raise such capital by May 15, 2019.

Upon exercise of the option, Playfair will issue to EMX an additional 3 million shares of Playfair stock, and EMX will receive a 3% NSR royalty on the properties comprising the Project. Within six years of the execution of the Agreement, Playfair may purchase 1% of the NSR royalty in 0.5% increments for a total of $3,000,000, leaving EMX with a 2.0% NSR royalty. EMX will also receive annual advance royalty (“AAR”) payments of $30,000 commencing on the second anniversary of the option exercise, with the AAR payments increasing by $5,000 per year until reaching $80,000 per year. AARs may be paid in cash or Playfair shares, subject to certain conditions.
After the exercise of the option, further conditions of the Agreement include:

Playfair will use commercially reasonable efforts to raise an additional $2,750,000 for advancement of the Project and other activities, and will drill at least 2,000 meters on the Project before the third anniversary of the Agreement effective date.
Within two years of the execution date, Playfair will issue to EMX that number of common shares of Playfair that will increase EMX’s equity ownership in Playfair to 9.9%. Thereafter, Playfair will have the continuing obligation to issue additional shares of Playfair to EMX to maintain its 9.9% interest in Playfair, at no additional cost to EMX, until Playfair has raised a cumulative $3,000,000 in equity; thereafter EMX will have the right to participate pro-rata in future financings at its own cost to maintain its 9.9% interest in Playfair.
Playfair will issue the equivalent of $250,000 in common shares of Playfair to EMX upon the earlier of:
- the filing of a Preliminary Economic Assessment technical report,
- the filing of an initial Resource Estimate technical report,
- the fifth anniversary of the option exercise date.
The issuance of additional shares of Playfair to EMX will be limited to a maximum 9.9% equity ownership in Playfair by EMX.

The issuance of Playfair shares to EMX as set forth in the Agreement is subject to receipt of TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Overview of Project. The Røstvangen property is located approximately 300 kilometers north of Oslo, and hosts the “Kvikne Copper Works”, one of Norway’s oldest base metal mining districts. Copper mineralization was discovered at Kvikne in 1629, followed by 150 years of mineral production. The mineralization at Kvikne is VMS-type, with enrichments of copper and gold. The Kvikne deposits are positioned along a >30 kilometer long trend of geophysical anomalies and VMS-type mineral occurrences that form multiple parallel belts across the property. These belts have seen little modern exploration work, and only a few historic drill holes, despite the widespread VMS occurrences and historic mining activities.
The Vakkerlien nickel-copper-cobalt property directly adjoins the Røstvangen exploration licenses. Nickel was discovered on the property in the 1870s, when small scale mining was conducted in the district. Further exploration by Falconbridge Limited and Blackstone Ventures Inc. from 1975 through the early 2000s led to the drilling and discovery of nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization to the southeast of the historic workings. The mineralization is associated with, and hosted by, a mid-Proterozoic gabbroic intrusive complex, and is interpreted to be a magmatic sulfide deposit type. Gold and platinum group element (“PGE”) content remains poorly understood and in need of further assessment.
EMX and Playfair are planning to commence exploration programs in the upcoming spring and summer months, which will include property-scale sampling, reconnaissance mapping and geophysical surveys. The intent of the programs is to rapidly identify additional exploration targets for drill testing.
Dr. Eric P. Jensen, CPG, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and employee of the Company, has reviewed, verified and approved the disclosure of the technical information contained in this news release.
About EMX. EMX leverages asset ownership and exploration insight into partnerships that advance our mineral properties, with EMX receiving pre-production payments and retaining royalty interests. EMX complements its royalty generation initiatives with royalty acquisitions and strategic investments. Please see www.EMXroyalty.com for more information.

Bob Moriarty on Geopolitics, Resource Companies and His New Book
Contributed Opinion

Source: Maurice Jackson for Streetwise Reports (3/3/19)

Bob Moriarty of 321 Gold sits down with Maurice Jackson of Proven and Probable and sounds off about the state of the world, resource companies he is paying attention to, and what readers will find in his new book.

Maurice Jackson: Welcome to Proven and Probable, I’m your host Maurice Jackson. Joining us for a conversation is Bob Moriarty, the founder of 321gold and 321energy.com.
We brought you on today to discuss current events, companies that have your attention and to discuss Amazon’s best-selling book right now under commodities trading, which happens to be your book aptly entitled “Basic Investing in Resource Stocks: The Idiot’s Guide.” Bob, you shared with me on a number of occasions to be aware of political and geopolitical events as they have a direct influence on our lives and portfolio. Let’s begin with current events and there’s a number of them unfolding right before us. Beginning in the U.S., what has your attention and why?
Bob Moriarty: I don’t know a good term to use, but it’s almost a feeling of a sick desire to watch something obscene, the Cohen hearings are certainly interesting. It’s a measure of how far over the cliff the country has gone. It’s obscene. Why you would get a guy who is a felon and who’s lied to Congress, who has an agenda to testify in Congress is just amazing! We know the guy is a liar. It’s all political theater. Sadly, neither party, no one is trying to improve the country. They’re just trying to get even with the guys on the other side of the aisle. It’s sick okay, but it’s interesting to watch because it’s so sick.
Maurice Jackson: In previous interviews you referenced the Deep State/Shadow Government. For someone new to the conversation, who is the Deep State and what is their significance?
Bob Moriarty: I’m not sure that deep state is a good term. It’s really the Congressional Military Industrial Complex that President Eisenhower warned us about in 1961 in his farewell address. In his written copy, President Eisenhower called it the Congressional Military Industrial Complex. His political advisor said, “You can’t do that. You can’t criticize Congress, so remove that. Just call it the Military Industrial Complex.”
There exists within the United States a small subset whose economic welfare is based on constant war. We no longer fight wars to achieve peace. We fight wars to achieve war and it’s a transfer of wealth from the taxpayers, the United States to the Congressional Military Industrial Complex. Wars will destroy, actually it has destroyed the United States already.
The United States is bankrupt, it’s functionally bankrupt. There is nothing we can do about it. There is no savior that’s going to come along. There are no solutions, we’re bankrupt. The standard of living of most Americans is going to decline a lot more than it already has.
Maurice Jackson: Just for the record, is it the Military Industrial Complex or the Democratic Party, which one is it that really wants President Trump out and why?
Bob Moriarty: Both the Deep State and the Democrats, but only because they wanted Hillary Clinton in. She was supported by the Deep State. A couple of months ago I was writing and talking about there being a coup d’etat in the United States. Then Andrew McCabe came actually went on 60 Minutes and he admitted it. I mean this is bizarre. If you have a coup d’etat in any country in the world, the legal system should arrest these guys, give them fair trials and shoot them. We don’t do that. We admit, “Oh yeah, we attempted a coup d’etat, the Department of Justice and the NSA and the CIA and the FBI were all trying to overthrow the democratically elected president of the United States,” but who cares?
Maurice Jackson: Bob, I want to go back to my previous question, what will be the purpose or what is the ultimate intent? If they get President Trump out, then what?
Bob Moriarty: Well, see, that’s the problem. We talk about defeating the ISIS in Syria or we talk about regime change in Iran or regime change in Syria or regime change in Afghanistan or regime change in Iraq. We never have a plan B. We never have anything that we actually intend to do. The journey has become the destination and that is perpetual war.
Maurice Jackson: Let me ask you this here, what is Bob Moriarty’s assessment of President Trump?
Bob Moriarty: I think the man’s an idiot. You want to beat around the bush, he’s a blithering idiot. He’s a narcissist. He’s knowledge of things economic or historical are absolutely obscene. He’s most certainly a criminal, but when you say that you also have to say, well, his opponent was Hillary Clinton. If she had been elected president, there would have been four versions of air force one, three of them just to carry her baggage around.
Maurice Jackson: Therefore, in some regards the United States would have the same president in Trump or Clinton. Let’s expand the narrative to geopolitics here. Things are really heating up between India and Pakistan. What’s going on there?
Bob Moriarty: Let me back track a little bit. I think we’ve discussed the worldwide revolution before, but the population of every country on earth is upset because the power and the money is being transmitted from the 99% to the 1%. Everybody is upset, the Yellow Vest and Israel and Canada and Brussels and Spain and I’m certain that’s true in Pakistan as well. There is an area of disputed territory between Pakistan and India that’s been in dispute since 1948. There are people, there are terrorists, India calls them terrorists, but they’re supported by Pakistan who set off a bomb and killed 40 Indian policemen, military. India was naturally upset.
When you’re dealing with two parties who are equipped with nuclear weapons, you want to avoid that kind of stuff. Because one of the options is everybody keeps being stupid and you end up lobbying nuclear weapons at each other. I’m not going to say I’m predicting it, I don’t know what the possibility is. I know it’s a very dangerous time and I wish there was a way of sorting it out that made sense. Unfortunately, I mean the only sane political leader in the world today I think is Putin.
Maurice Jackson: Speaking of Putin, I want to address the situation with Russian, Ukraine as well. Before we do that, let’s move west and go and discuss the situation between the U.S. and Iran, what’s going on there?
Bob Moriarty: Well, here’s what’s funny. Israel has been advocating for a war against Iran since 1982. It’s in writing. They’ve said it many, many times. It has nothing to do with Iran and everything to do with Israel. Israel has convinced the United States to fight their wars for them. There is no Iranian nuclear weapons program period. It stopped years ago, all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies admitted and there is no nuclear weapons program period, end of story. Everything that has been said about Iran is something that has been made up by Benjamin Netanyahu and the Mossad. They’re trying to convince the Americans to go to war.
Now since Donald Trump was bought and paid for by Sheldon Adelson, he sold his soul for about $30 or $35 million in the presidential campaign. Benjamin Netanyahu through Sheldon Adelson literally tells the President of the United States what to do. I’m naturally against that, however, if Hillary Clinton had been elected she would have done the same thing. We need to stop fighting wars for Israel. I am not a pacifist. I am the opposite of a pacifist. I am a warrior and I fought in war and I know all about war because I’ve been there. I would defend my country and my family and my state in a minute against a true enemy.
We go out and create the straw enemies who are not the enemies of us on behalf of Israel. Then we attack them and we let a bunch of our kids get killed. We pay for the war and it’s bankrupted the United States. The United States can end up just like French empire, the Spanish empire, the Russian empire, the British empire, it’s going to bankrupt itself. The standard of living of Americans are going to go down substantially, fighting wars for a tiny meaningless country in the Middle East.
Maurice Jackson: You know what you say sometimes I know that others may disagree with you and say, “That’s a little extreme,” but the reality is, you’ve stated empirical evidence. Wars bankrupt nations and then they also devalue their currency and history does repeat itself. The United States currently is on that trajectory. Let’s move north here. You referenced Russia earlier, there isn’t that much news coming out from Russia and Ukraine. What’s the situation like there?
Bob Moriarty: Well, actually there is and again that’s a situation where the neocons who are under the control of Benjamin Netanyahu. I mean they’re traitors to the United States, but they would like to get into war with Russia and they’re using the Ukraine. It’s really funny because the Ukrainian government is supported by the United States, Poroshenko, they’re just as corrupted as they could be. It’s the worst possible thing in the world for the Ukrainian people, but we don’t give a shit, okay, as long as they do what the United States wants to do, which is to antagonize Russia.
Now everybody talks about Russia having invaded Crimea, but the Crimea was always part of Russian, been part of Russian since I think Catherine the Great. The Crimea only became part of Ukraine in 1954, because Khrushchev got drunk and he signed it over to the Ukrainians. Ukraine was part of the USSR back then, so it didn’t really change anything whatsoever. When the United States sponsored and paid for and admittedly paid $5 billion of American dollars to subvert the Ukrainian government and sponsored the coup d’etat in Ukraine against their democratically elected president. Then the thugs that are running Ukraine started stirring up trouble that was anti-Russian. The people in the eastern part of the country voted and said, “We don’t want to be part of Ukraine, we’re Russian. We’ve always been Russian and we want to be Russian.” Ukraine is kind of split in two.
Ukrainian Navy tried to force a ship through a very narrow straight and the Russians captured the ship and said, “No, you can’t do that. That’s illegal to do.” It’s a hot spot and it’s something that could go nuclear in very short order. We have a small group about 30 people who are at the heart of military industrial complex. They’re neocons, they’re dual nationals. They do not owe any loyalty whatsoever to the United States, but all of it to Israel who want to sponsor war between the United States and Russia. If we do, if we allow them to do that, it’s a war that’s going to last for about 30 minutes.
Maurice Jackson: Well, certainly it’s a war that we don’t want. I recall, Bob, you’ve referenced before in previous interviews it’s a fact that maybe most people aren’t aware of. You referenced that the United States does not engage in war with countries that have nuclear weapons. I’m I correct in my memory on that?
Bob Moriarty: Well, by and large we choose to attack countries that cannot defend themselves. Pakistan was good and Afghanistan was good and Iraq was good and Syria was good and Iran’s good. Why they’re antagonizing Russia, which most certainly is nuclear armed, I don’t know.
Maurice Jackson: Switching gears, let’s move onto companies that have your attention at the moment.
Bob Moriarty: Well, there’s my favorite trio and Quinton Hennigh is behind all three of them in Novo Resources Corp. (NVO:TSX.V; NSRPF:OTCQX), which we have talked about at some length. It’s very hot in Australia right now and summer starts cooling down in March and April and they’ll get busy. Novo is doing some stuff now, but nothing of significance that will move the market. They will be testing at Egina probably starting in April and I expect some very significant results there.
But of more interest is Miramont Resources Corp. (MONT:CSE) that I think they’ve completed six holes so far in southern Peru. They’ve got a very interesting deposit with three big targets that could be a world-class project. I’m not sure the first results they’re going to show out of the box, blow the lead off the stock kind of assays. It’s a drill program that I expect to be of major importance. I expect drill results coming out in two to four weeks, and they’re certainly going to be very interesting and it’s the stocks that I own a lot of and I’d like a lot. It’s got about $30 million market cap. Now Novo has about $400 million market cap, so Miramont’s can move a lot more than Novo in terms of percentage.
Second, you and I went to Irving Resources Inc. (IRV:CSE; IRVRF:OTCBB) a year and a half ago, almost two years ago now. They should and should be in great big quotation marks, should start drilling about mid-March and probably six weeks to two months after that start coming out with the results. They’re testing two things. They’re going to test the area that we saw that had very high grade gold right at the surface in a vein system. Just for your information Keith Barron went over there. The samples that we took tested about $25,000 a ton. Keith Barron took a sample that tested $35,000 a ton. That’s not going to be the first drill target. The first drill target’s going to be in the sinter. The sinter has shown some several grams to the ton assays from the coats of silica cap that makes it the sinter. That sinter is steep because that’s typically not where the gold is found. The gold is trapped underneath the sinter and they’re going to drill into that. I can’t tell you whether Irving will hit on the first hole or its 50th hole, but I expect some real barn burning results there.
Maurice Jackson: It’s truly interesting times for Dr Quinton Hennigh there. How about switching to the Metallic Group of Companies. What can you tell us about them?
Bob Moriarty: Well, the first company that I wrote up going back 18 years ago is NovaGold. The guy that I was working with was Greg Johnson, he was the Vice President of Exploration. Very intelligent guy, very good guy. I like him a lot. What he’s done he’s put together three companies in different commodities. He’s got a company that specializes in copper and it’s called Granite Creek Copper Ltd. (GCX.V:TSXV). He’s got a company called Group Ten Metals Inc. (PGE:TSX.V; PGEZF:OTC) that has a platinum, palladium deposit in Montana right next to the Stillwater mine. It appears from a technical point of view, it appears that they’ve got a carbon copy of the Stillwater Mine.
Greg has done a brilliant job of putting packages together that nobody else has ever put together before. Everybody knew there were some good projects at Stillwater that weren’t owned by Stillwater. One guy owned one and another guy owned another. Another company owned the other and what Greg’s managed to do is put that together. Then there’s Metallic Minerals Corp. (MMG:TSX.V) that specializes in silver up in the Yukon. The interesting thing is, it’s all under similar managements. I like him a lot. These are all very quiet companies. Nobody’s heard about them. Nobody pays any attention to them, but I think that all three of them will end up being home runs. I like Greg Johnson a lot, he’s a good guy.
Maurice Jackson: Full disclosure, all the companies that you’ve referenced so far are sponsors of Proven and Probable with the exception of Granite Creek Copper. There’s one more company that recently you’ve been discussing and that is Rover Metals. What can you share with us?
Bob Moriarty: Well, Rover Metals Corp. (ROVR:TSX.V; ROVMF:OTCQB) is interesting. Rover has got the market cap about $3 million and they’ve got just under a million dollars in the bank. They can get started. In a roaring ball market it is not the majors or the mid tiers that have the greatest percentage advance, it’s the little tiny companies that have the major upside. Rover is north of the Yellowknife okay up in the Northwest Territory. I think they’re 110 kilometers north of the Yellowknife.
Most people won’t even recognize this, but I think it’s the biggest gold mine in Canada was the giant mines in Yellowknife. It was a big deal 30 or 40 years ago, but you don’t hear much about that district now. He’s put together a good package. They’re getting a lot of interesting results. He’s got enough money to get started on the drill program and it’s the company that can go from the $3 million market cap to a $30 million market cap with one set of good drill holes.
Maurice Jackson: The CEO there is Judson Culter. Just for our audience, we will be interviewing Group Ten Metal’s tomorrow as well as Rover Metals. Then Metallic Minerals as well next week and we plan to have Granite Creek Copper as well. We just interviewed Novo Resources and we’re trying to get Miramont and Irving back on the program as well here in the future. Finally, Bob, you just released a new book entitled ‘Basic Investing in Resource Stocks: The Idiot’s Guide.’ Allow me to be the first to congratulate you in less than 10 days your book is the best-selling book on Commodities Trading on Amazon. That’s quite an accomplishment.
Bob Moriarty: Well, yeah, but you’re the guy who kept bugging me to write the damn thing. It’s all your fault, it’s not my fault.
Maurice Jackson: I’m delighted and honored that you wrote the book and I know everyone that will be wise enough to purchase a copy will feel the same. Bob, tell us about your book, and why should someone reading purchase a copy?
Bob Moriarty: Well, here’s what’s interesting, if you’ve never written a book or a long article, you don’t realize that once you start writing, it takes a life of its own. I fully intended to cover copper and uranium and zinc and silver and gold and platinum and palladium. What I intended to do turned out to be something totally different than what I actually ended up with. I started writing and whatever it is that controls my typing fingers said, “No, you don’t want to go in this direction. You want to go in this direction,” so I did that. What I did is I put in a lot of things that I’ve learned over the years that they’re very important.
I mean, let me give you a perfect example. There are so many people who are invested in gold and silver and resource stocks, who spend a lot of time worrying about manipulations. The funny thing is the whole manipulation thing is just as big as scam as “Bitcon” and Global Warming. We talked about Bitcon when it was $800 billion and it’s $150 billion now. That was a great financial fraud world test. Global warming and carbon credits is an absolute fraud. It’s a tax. There is no such thing as global warming. The real danger is global cooling and it has far more to do with the sun than it has to do with the actions of man.
To a much smaller degree, the idea of manipulation being significant, it’s similar. It’s fraud and the people who talk about it know that they’re using fraud. However, it’s very appealing. When you go out and buy a company or when you go out and buy a commodity and it goes down, you can always point at manipulation and say, “It’s manipulated. I didn’t lose money because I’m stupid and made bad decisions. I lost money because it’s manipulated.” The guys who talk about manipulation and use manipulation as an excuse don’t bother telling everybody every financial instrument is manipulated. It is manipulated by everybody all of the time. Now if you think that manipulation is significant, you should not invest. It’s that simple, but everything’s manipulated.
We know the government manipulates the interest rates. We know they manipulate currencies, good chance they manipulate stock market. Who gives a shit? It’s like the sun coming up, you can’t do anything about it. Why worry about it? I put in a bunch of tips that I’ve learned over the years from mistakes that I’ve made and I’m really quite proud of the book. I think it’s a good book and I think that people will save themselves a lot of money by buying and reading the book.
What I try to do is I try to make books very simple. I’m not interested in a 400 or 500 page turner or I’m trying to espouse some really unique theory of investing. I don’t give a shit. I want to help ordinary people make decisions that can make them money. Now, I think you and I have talked a couple of times about the Daily Sentiment Indicator. I have used that to predict turns in 24 commodities. I did it in January of 2018 and then I did it in the end of December 2018. Only 24 commodities that I predicted would turn direction, 24 of them did it. The funny thing is I’m not a guru. Anybody could do that, if they would read the book, if they would understand the basics. If they use the tools that are available to everybody. Anybody could do that. There’s no magic to it. Everybody wants to convince people there’s some kind of magic. You need to listen to the experts, you need to listen to the gurus. Well, the experts are all full of shit. Why would you want to listen to them?
Maurice Jackson: Your book resonates with so many people, hence the success it’s had already. When one reads this book, you have the ability to tap into one of the deepest reservoirs of intellectual capacity in this sector that has a proven pedigree of success. Bob is sharing with you the tools he uses, and they’re very practical. Anyone as you referenced could use the tools.
When I first read the book, it wasn’t what I expected. Not in a disappointing way, I thought you were going to go into a more technical side but instead it’s a very pragmatic book. It’s very easy to understand and apply. Bob, on behalf of Proven and Probable, we want to thank you for giving us the seal of approval as one of the trusted sources that you recommend for readers. That is by far the highest compliment to our work and I want to thank you for that sir.
Bob Moriarty: Well, I don’t know whether you should thank me. If people hate the book, I’m going to blame you.
Maurice Jackson: We’ll take the blame on that one. Let me ask you this as well, what type of feedback have you received from your peers in the industry?
Bob Moriarty: Very positive. When you’re a writer you never really know how people are going to react to it. I mean face it, there’s a lot of books that are worth reading. When you do something and you have invested a lot of time and energy and thought into something, you want people to react to it in a positive way. I’ve talked to a lot of people and I’ve had a lot of people do reviews so far and there will be a lot more reviews. Everybody is receiving it very well. I think these guys are not trying to suck up to me. If they saw a problem with it, they’d say something.
Maurice Jackson: Bob, give us a title one more time and share with us where we can purchase a copy.
Bob Moriarty: Okay, you can go to Amazon.com and buy it there in any country they sell books. It’s “Basic Investing in Resource Stocks: The Idiot’s Guide.” I want everybody to understand it’s not the reader that’s the idiot, it’s me.
Maurice Jackson: Bob, before we close, last question. What did I forget to ask?
Bob Moriarty: Probably dozens and dozens of things. You just lack the ability to ask any interesting questions. Once you got past, “How are you doing on your book?” you just ran out of interesting things to say.
Barbara Moriarty: He forgot to ask about the new investment.
Bob Moriarty: Oh, which new investment?
Maurice Jackson: Well, please share with us.
Barbara Moriarty: Sheep. I bought two of the Swiss Valley black Nosed Sheep. They are a special breed. They are very rare and they are absolutely gorgeous. They are living in five star luxury in the new forest in England and they are two males, but they sort of didn’t go full, did they really?
Bob Moriarty: Yeah. Let me be nice about this. They used to be males.
Barbara Moriarty: They have them fixed, but they’re not like normal sheep. They are like lovely cuddly teddy bears.
Maurice Jackson: Pleasure speaking with you, ma’am.
Barbara Moriarty: I will send you a photo.

TOM WHEELWRIGHT 3 Proven Ways to Build Wealth

Post author By admin
Post date March 1, 2019

Think about how much time you spend earning your money.

Now, think about how much time you spend investing that earned money.

Most people spend at least 40 hours per week – each and every week – earning their money and maybe an hour per month on investing that earned money.

This allocation of time won’t get them to their goal of passive income any time soon. This is a challenge many people face.

The WealthAbility Show

A Wealth Strategy Doesn’t Have to be a Full-Time Job

A wealth strategy doesn’t have to be a full-time job if it is done properly. This is why I say you must build a business around your wealth.

A business is one of the best forms of leverage. When wealth building is treated like a business, it is possible to see results in just a few hours each week.

What exactly does it mean to build a business around your wealth?

In any business, leverage comes in many forms, all of which contribute to spending less time “in” the business and more time “on” the business. This is key in a wealth strategy – it’s what enables someone to be successful in their wealth strategy in just a few hours each week.

Schedule a Call

Here are 3 forms of leverage commonly found in a business that I think every wealth strategy should have:

Leverage #1: A clear written strategy

It’s common for a business to have a clear written strategy, but it’s not common for a person to have a clear written strategy for their investing. Without a clear written strategy, a business (or wealth strategy) often changes directions many times, and with each change, time and money is lost.

A clear written strategy helps reduce the amount of time a person spends in their wealth strategy because there is a clear focus. The strategy can be shared with team members so they are more efficient and focus only on those things that support the strategy.

Leverage #2: Systems

Systems are the greatest form of leverage in a business. The systems run the business. This enables the owner to spend his or her time managing the systems instead of managing the people. Managing systems is not only more efficient than managing people, it also takes less time and effort and produces greater profit.

Systems should identify the who, what, where, why and how for operating a business. Systems can (and should) touch every aspect of a wealth strategy.

For example, a wealth strategy should have systems for:

Identifying and selecting investments.
Funding the investments. If there is a loan process, there is a system for that.
Managing the investments.
Reporting for the investments.

Creating the systems can take some time, but once they are in place, it becomes very efficient to run a wealth strategy. The systems help reduce the amount of time required to manage a wealth strategy. The systems also provide better information so decisions can be made proactively and not reactively – this is also a huge time and money saver.

Leverage #3: Team of advisors

The 3 most expensive words in the English language are “do it yourself.”

Having a team brings leverage and velocity to investing which leads to better and faster results. This is what businesses do. They build a team with their employees, vendors, customers, advisors, partners and so on.

This same principle applies to a wealth strategy. The right wealth team can bring the greatest value to a wealth strategy.

Using Business Leverage in Your Wealth Strategy

If you are an investor and don’t think of yourself as a business owner, think again. Those who are most successful in their wealth strategies are those who have built a business around their wealth and treat their investing activities like a business.

The above are just 3 examples of how leverage commonly found in a business can be used in a wealth strategy. Start taking the steps today to work towards building a business around your wealth.

EQUITY.GURU Podcast: Jericho Oil (JCO.V)

Post author By admin
Post date March 1, 2019

Jericho Oil (JCO.V) spent the last five years securing distressed assets in the state of Oklahoma, a state which produces 16% of America’s total crude output.
Oklahoma also plays host to the lucrative Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin Canadian and Kingfisher counties (STACK) play.
The oil market continues to run rough with WTI Crude prices settling at $56.97 per barrel, down 22% from $73.03 back in September 2018.
Brian Williamson, Jericho CEO, said he feels that even with the depressed market, Jericho still has a chance generating profitable production rates from the company’s highly-prospective unconventional oil plays.
Equity.Guru’s Chris Parry spoke with Brian to get the lowdown on Jericho, its Oklahoma STACK assets and what lies ahead for 2019.

ANACONDA MINING Intersects 59.39 G/t Gold Over 7.0 Metres And 6.17 G/t Over 8.0 Metres at Argyle; Provides Infill Drilling and Development Update

Post author By admin
Post date March 1, 2019

TORONTO , March 1, 2019 /CNW/ – Anaconda Mining Inc. (“Anaconda” or the “Company”) – (ANX.TO) is pleased to provide an update on the exploration and development activities at the Argyle Deposit (“Argyle”), located approximately 4.5 kilometres from the Company’s operating Pine Cove Mill and tailings facility at the Point Rousse Project in Newfoundland (See Exhibit A). Since announcing the Argyle Mineral Resource Estimate on January 8, 2018 , Anaconda has completed an internal project evaluation and engineering that has led to development of an optimized pit shell and a cash flow positive mining plan. It has also initiated the permitting process, conducted infill drilling and successfully identified high-grade, wide intersections of mineralization immediately adjacent to the known Mineral Resource. In addition, the Company has discovered another area of very high-grade mineralization associated with visible gold approximately 800 metres from the main Argyle Deposit. Anaconda expects Argyle to contribute to the production profile at Point Rousse in the third quarter 2019 and anticipates expanding the known Mineral Resources in the area.

“We are progressing toward production at Argyle and expect the deposit to be incorporated into our mine plans in Q3 of 2019. Preliminary permits have been received and we will finalize mine planning following a resource update in May, which will include the additional drilling completed since the last Mineral Resource Estimate as well as our current infill drilling. As we move Argyle into production this year we will also follow up on the high-grade visible gold encountered in hole AE-18-83 which is one of the best intersections of gold within the Point Rousse Project to date.”
~ Dustin Angelo , President and CEO

In addition, to better align the long-term incentive plans of directors, officers, and employees with Anaconda’s shareholders, the Company’s Board of Directors has approved the adoption of a Share Unit Plan, subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company at the upcoming Annual General and Special Meeting and made certain grants under the Plan as part of year-end performance reviews and director compensation. Please see below for further details.

Argyle Exploration Program

The Company has completed an exploration program consisting of 2,810 metres of diamond drilling in 22 holes approximately 250 metres to 1,250 metres northeast of the Argyle Deposit (“Argyle Exploration Program”). The Argyle Exploration Program targeted an area that exhibited anomalous ground IP and soil geochemical characteristics as well as surface alteration and favourable geology similar to the Argyle Deposit area. Drill hole AE-18-83 intersected two occurrences of visible gold coincident with composited assays of 59.39 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold over 7.0 metres (32.0 to 39.0 metres) including 413.90 g/t over 1 metre and 6.21 g/t gold over 2.0 metres (96.0 to 98.0 metres) (Exhibit A). These intersections are associated with an alteration system similar in character to the Argyle and Stog’er Tight Deposits. The alteration system extends for 250 metres as identified in core by eight drill holes completed during the Argyle Exploration Program; however, Hole AE-18-83 was the only one to return significant mineralization. To better understand the controlling structures associated with the two high-grade gold occurrences, Anaconda is planning a trenching program and further drilling during the spring of 2019.

No significant gold mineralization was encountered in the remainder of the alteration system northeast of Argyle. A portion of the anomalies encountered were associated with an iron stone formation as well as a certain stratigraphy that is typically not mineralized.

Argyle Deposit Infill Drilling

The Company is conducting an infill drill program at Argyle (“Argyle Infill Program”) to better define portions of the deposit planned for development in 2019. The initial results from the western portion of the Argyle Deposit comprise 12 holes totaling 525 metres of diamond drilling, which intersected mineralization as outlined in the existing Mineral Resource. Mineralization intersected in holes AE-18-98 to AE-19-109 is approximately the same thickness of previous drilling in this area but with grades approximately 25% greater than previous drilling in this area of the deposit. Highlights from the western portion of the Argyle Infill Program include:

6.17 g/t gold over 8 .0 metres (3.0 to 11.0 metres) in hole AE-19-107;
2.32 g/t gold over 7.0 metres (8.0 to 15.0 metres) in hole AE-18-98; and
1.15 g/t gold over 8.0 metres (3.0 to 11.0 metres) in hole AE-18-100.

Anaconda is currently drilling additional infill holes on the eastern portion of the Argyle Deposit. These results will be released at a later date.

Upon completion of the Argyle Infill Program, the Company will create an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Argyle Deposit to confirm pit extents and begin mining. This resource will also include drill holes reported on March 22, 2018 (the “2018 Holes”) which intersected mineralization outside of the current Mineral Resource and expanded the deposit. Highlights from the 2018 Holes include:

7.87 g/t gold over 7.0 metres (44.0 – 51.0 metres) in hole AE-18-74; and
12.47 g/t gold over 5.0 metres (54.5 – 59.5 metres) in hole AE-17-58.

A table of selected intersections from both exploration and infill drilling programs are shown in the table below.

Argyle Development

The Argyle project was released from environmental assessment in November of 2018. The Company has submitted a Development Plan and is finalizing a Rehabilitation and Closure plan to be submitted to the Ministry of Natural Resources by the end of Q1 2019. Once Anaconda receives approval of the Development, Rehabilitation and Closure plans, it will be ready to begin mine development and site construction, which is expected to be by the summer 2019 with ore production commencing in the third quarter.

A Table of highlight composited assays from holes AE-18-98 to AE-19-109 are shown below:

Hole ID	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Grade (g/t)
AE-18-100	3.0	11.0	8.0	1.15

CHRIS MARCUS Tesla – The Next Enron?

Post author By admin
Post date March 1, 2019

Tesla – The Next Enron?
As the Austrian economists have long pointed out, one of the things that commonly happens during periods of credit expansion is that the easy money leads to malinvestment. Which is usually revealed later on when the credit is removed and the excesses are exposed.
Of which there is growing evidence that Tesla may turn out to fit this profile. To the degree that some analysts are suggesting it might even be the next Enron.
Certainly one of the challenges in today’s financial markets (and perhaps this has always been the case) is not just in analyzing the numbers. But also in evaluating the integrity of the numbers. Because remember that the Enron numbers looked great. Except that they were never real.
And now as Tesla approaches a key financial event where its $920 million dollar bond payment is coming due, not only is there uncertainty as to how CEO Elon Musk is going to make that payment, but also increasing concerns around his actions and the veracity of the financial data the company provides.
In an interview with Tesla analyst Dave Kranzler of Investment Research Dynamics, Kranzler pointed out how not only did Musk break the law in sending his “420 secured” tweet, but that “Tesla’s Q3 GAAP “Net Income” numbers are highly misleading, if not outright fraudulent”.

Aside from concerns about the quality of the financial statements, Mark Tepper, president and CEO of Strategic Wealth Partners mentions how “there are stories of people not getting their vehicles, and then not getting their refunds for months.” While another concern being echoed among Tesla bears is in regards to the company’s growing reputation for being unable to deliver on the promises Musk makes.
“He hasn’t hit on any target or deliverable with any sort of reliability for years now. Why should I believe him now? Remember in 2016 when he said they’d be profitable and didn’t need any more money? Or when they said that in 2017? He’ll probably be saying the same thing at the bankruptcy hearing.”
-Harris Kupperman of Praetorian Capital
In addition to the red flags surrounding management is the latest news that January sales are down significantly, as the tax incentives have begun phasing out.

(chart courtesy of @teslashcarts)
Which makes it even more interesting to see what will happen in the next few days as the bond payment comes due. Especially with Musk creating a new round of suspense on Wednesday with a tweet that “some Tesla news” will be delivered on Thursday.
So if Musk is going to convince investors that the company is on solid footing, under good management, and that the data is accurate, he has some work to do. Because simply based on the events of the past year, as well as growing skepticism in the investment community, the possibility that Tesla will be exposed as an Enron is becoming a more real view in the marketplace.
To date the company has been able to navigate these issues. Yet especially if the Fed were to ever remove the unprecedented amount of credit it has injected into the system over the past decade, if the concerns regarding Tesla are indeed accurate, it may well in time rival Enron as one of the biggest financial scandals in history.
