Release – Palladium One Mining (NKORF)(PDM:CA) – Begins 2000-Meter Phase II Drilling

Posted on April 6, 2021 by Admin

Palladium One Begins 2,000-Meter Phase II Drilling and Outlines EM Conductors at Smoke Lake High-Grade Sulphide Nickel Zone of the Tyko Project in Ontario

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – April 6, 2021) – A 2,000-meter Phase II drilling program at the high-grade Smoke Lake nickel discovery, which returned up to 9.9% Ni_Eq over 3.8 meters from surface (see press release January 19, 2021), on the Tyko Sulphide-Nickel-Copper project in Ontario, Canada, has started, said Palladium One Mining Inc. (TSXV: PDM) (FSE: 7N11) (OTCQB: NKORF) (“Palladium One” or the “Company”) today. In advance of drilling, in February 2021, detailed ground based Electromagnetic (“EM”) and Borehole Electromagnetic (“BHEM”) surveys were conducted to better define the conductors hosting the high-grade nickel mineralization.

EM and BHEM surveys conducted at Smoke Lake outlined two conductors, the deeper one was intersected by a single drill hole returning 6.3% Ni_Eq over 0.9 meters (see press release January 19, 2021) during the December 2020 drill program. This lower conductor extends beyond the EM survey grid to the northwest, where it remains open for extension.

“Given the very encouraging results at Smoke Lake, we have commissioned a 3,000-line kilometer, high-resolution airborne, Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Max) survey covering the entire Tyko Nickel-Copper Project, which includes the Bulldozer mafic-ultramafic Intrusion, the objective of which is the discovery of additional EM anomalies such as the Smoke Lake anomaly. The survey is expected to be flown in May 2021,” said Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.

“In addition to the work conducted at Smoke Lake in Q1 2021, the Company also completed a short reconnaissance drill program of 1,233 meters in 5 drill holes and both EM and BHEM surveys on its Disraeli PGE-Ni-Cu project, located in Ontario, Canada and within the prolific mid-continental rift.”

“Significant cobalt bearing magnetite skarn mineralization was intersected. Notably, down hole geophysics outlined an off-hole conductor at the basement contact that may represent a mafic-ultramafic feeder system to the Disraeli Intrusion, which requires follow up,” said Weyrauch.

Tyko Phase II Drilling Program and EM Surveys, Ontario, Canada

A 2,000-meter Phase II drilling program at the high-grade sulphide-nickel discovery of Smoke Lake has started. From surface, the Smoke Lake zone returned 9.9% Ni Eq over 3.8 meters (8.13 % Ni, 2.88% Cu, 0.11% Co, 0.61 g/t Pd, 0.71 g/t Pt and 0.02 g/t Au), (see news release January 19, 2021). This Phase II program is designed to infill and expand the high-grade sulphide-nickel mineralization. The program is expected to continue until the start of spring weather conditions.

In February 2021, high-resolution ground-based and borehole EM surveys were conducted at Smoke Lake. This second ground-based survey was undertaken to supplement the initial reconnaissance survey conducted in October 2020 (see press release December 7, 2020) . The February 2021 survey provided excellent data and allowed the modeling of two conductive plates (Figure 1) which closely match the drilling results to date (Figure 1 and 2). These plates consist of smaller highly conductive near surface plate and a larger less conductive but more expansive plate. The most significant result from this survey is that the lower most conductor continues off the survey grid area, to the northwest where it remains open for expansion.

In addition to the EM surveys, the Company commission an inversion of the high-resolution drone based magnetic survey which was flown in 2020 (see press release December 7, 2020). The inversion model shows a large southwest plunging body at depth, below the Smoke Lake zone. The Smoke Lake zone is associated with a strong magnetic high at surface and an elevated magnetic response at depth (Figure 3). This deep magnetic body may represent mafic-ultramafic rocks associated with the Smoke Lake nickel mineralization, and is a high priority target.

The Company has contracted to fly a 3,000-line kilometer high resolution (100-meter line spacing) airborne EM and magnetic survey using the VTEM™ Max system. The Tyko project encompasses 200 square kilometers, the vast majority of which has seen little to no exploration or even government regional mapping. The western portion of the project has been the subject of several historic airborne EM surveys, using the technology of that time (Figure 4.), however the eastern portion is only partially covered by a 1980’s Noranda survey.

Notably it was the old 1980’s survey that detected the Smoke Lake EM anomaly at the very end of one of the flight lines (Figure 4). There is very limited airborne EM coverage surrounding the high-grade Smoke Lake nickel discovery, and absolutely no survey coverage to the south. This “terra incognita” is highly prospective for additional massive nickel sulphide discoveries, as it also hosts the Company’s Shabotik showing which has returned up to 1.0 % nickel in grab samples (see press release August 19, 2019).

Disraeli PGE-Ni-Cu Project Drilling and EM Surveys, Ontario, Canada

In January 2021, the Company constructed a 2-kilometre ice road and then drilled 5 ice-based holes totalling 1,233 meters to test several airborne EM conductors and a reversely polarized magnetic body under Hook bay of Disraeli Lake (see news release December 9, 2020). One conductor was found to be caused by massive magnetite copper-cobalt-nickel Skarn, while several of the airborne EM conductors proved to be the result of lake sediments. (Figure 5), (Table 2). The reversely polarized magnetic body requires additional follow up as it was not adequately explained, it may be the result of a reversely polarized granophyric sill located below the Disraeli Intrusion and/or a magnetite skarn.

Borehole EM surveys were conducted on all holes drilled and were hindered by very high background conductivity, which may be the result of saline brines in the Sibley Formation sediments. Of particular note was an off-hole EM conductor identified at the Sibley – Quetico (metasedimentary basement rocks) contact (Figure 6). Unseasonably warm conditions in early March resulted in deterioration of the ice road, cutting the drill program short and thus this target was not able to be tested. This target remains a priority target.

The copper-cobalt-nickel magnetite skarn is of particular interest as it is enriched in cobalt (Table 2). The mineralization intersected in the recent program is very similar to skarn mineralization intersected 1.5 kilometers to the south in holes U17-01 and U17-02 by a previous operator. These holes intersected up to 0.13 % cobalt over 2.0 meters and 0.16 % cobalt over 0.45 meters respectively.

This cobalt bearing skarn-style mineralization has now been intersected by 4 holes on the Disraeli project indicating it is much more widespread that previously thought. The mineralization is hosted in the carbonate-rich (dolomite) Rossport unit of the Sibley Formation, mostly likely representing replacement of stromatolitic beds within the sediments. It consists of massive to stringer magnetite with 10-20% sulphides consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite, and chalcopyrite (Figure 7).This skarn mineralization is indicative of widespread hydrothermal alteration associated with either the Disraeli intrusion or another unknown mafic-ultramafic intrusion at depth. Additional, copper mineralization is known to occur in the greater Disraeli Lake area as chalcocite and malachite hosted in stromatolites with the Sibley sediments, grab samples collected by the Ministry of Northern development in 2011 returned up to 1.57% Cu (Mineral Deposit Index MDI52H02NW00002) from this style of mineralization. All of this indicates a significant magmatic hydrothermal system was present in the Disraeli Lake area, and suggests thicker and higher-grade areas of cobalt skarn mineralization are yet to be discovered.

*Nickel Equivalent (“Ni_Eq”)
Nickel equivalent is calculated using US$1,100 per ounce for palladium, US$950 per ounce for platinum, US$1,300 per ounce for gold, US$6,614 per tonne (US$3.00 per pound) for copper, US$15,432 per tonne (US$7.00 per pound) for nickel and US$30,865 per tonne (US$14 per pound) for Cobalt. This calculation is consistent with the commodity prices used in the Company’s September 2019 NI 43-101 Kaukua resource estimate.

QA/QC

The Phase I drilling program was carried out under the supervision of Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P. Geo., Vice President of Exploration and a director of the Company.

Drill core samples were split using a rock saw by Company staff, with half retained in the core box. The drill core samples were transported by company staff the Company’s core handling facility, to Actlabs laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Actlabs, is an accredited lab and are ISO compliant (ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 17025:2017). PGE analysis was performed using a 30 grams fire assay with an ICP-MS or ICP-OES finish. Multi-element analyses, including copper and nickel were analysed by four acid digestion using 0.5 grams with an ICP-MS or ICP-OES finish.

Certified standards, blanks and crushed duplicates are placed in the sample stream at a rate of one QA/QC sample per 10 core samples. Results are analyzed for acceptance at the time of import. All standards associated with the results in this press release were determined to be acceptable within the defined limits of the standard used

The partnership will kick off with an upcoming Playboy x Slimesunday release of original works developed by Slimesunday in partnership with Playboy’s editorial and archival curators, followed by participation in a Pride-themed curation in June with digital artist Blake Kathryn.

The longer-term Playboy x Nifty relationship will focus on three key areas: artist collaborations with Playboy’s vast art and photography archive, an ongoing effort to incubate and commission new artist NFT works including providing grants specifically designed to support emerging and underrepresented artists entering the NFT art community, and the curation and sales of Playboy’s iconic art collection in NFT form.

Playboy’s entry into the crypto art world is a natural extension of the brand’s 67-year commitment to providing a platform for artists, writers and photographers to freely express themselves and to connect with vast audiences. From Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí to Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, Playboy has served as a creative incubator for some of the world’s most legendary artists. Playboy’s contemporary arts program continues to build on that legacy with a focus on platforming more female artists and diverse voices, including profiles and events with such artists as Marilyn Minter, Xaviera Simmons, and Hank Willis Thomas. Playboy’s archives contain an immense wealth of original artwork, photography, cartoons, interviews, and multimedia ripe for exploration by digital audiences, art lovers and collectors.

“Since its inception, Playboy has championed artists and creative self-expression, turning its magazine pages and the walls of Playboy’s iconic spaces into an ever-expanding, priceless art collection. We’re thrilled to partner with Nifty Gateway, a platform and team dedicated to the artist community and technology security and efficiency, to allow a new generation to not only experience, but also to collect unique works from, this unparalleled collection,” said Rachel Webber, Chief Brand Officer & President of Corporate Strategy at PLBY Group.

“And in addition to bringing our existing archive to the blockchain, what’s equally exciting about our partnership with the Nifty team is our shared commitment to fostering and commissioning new work and supporting up-and-coming artists. We can’t wait to release more details soon from our partnership with Blake Kathryn, and from our collaboration with Slimesunday, an artist we’ve worked with previously in print form. We wholeheartedly believe in the future of a blockchain- and crypto-powered art world that ensures artist and collector protection, ongoing artist compensation, and the democratization of distribution and collecting. We’re thrilled to dive in with Nifty, and to continue learning and contributing.”

Ashley Ramos, Senior Producer at Nifty Gateway, said, “It is exciting to work with such an iconic brand that has long served as an incubator for both established and up-and-coming artists. Nifty Gateway and Playboy are both committed to creating authentic opportunities for artists to showcase their work, and we are excited that Playboy has entered the NFT space with care, creative intention and commitment to the artists and the NFT community. We’re thrilled to give our artists access to the legendary work from Playboy’s archives for collaborative purposes, alongside new works in commission.”

Energy Industry Report

Where Is The Supply Response?

Michael Heim, CFA, Senior Research Analyst, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to end of report for Analyst Certification & Disclosures

Oil prices continued their upward trend in the first quarter with WTI
prices reaching mid-sixties in early March before closing the quarter closer to
$60/bbl. The oil future curve is flat with longer-term pricing just below $60/bbl. Meanwhile, domestic producers have been slow to react to higher oil prices. There are slightly more than half the number of active oil rigs in the United States versus this time last year (324 verses 624) and only 25% of the rigs operating at peak (1600).
Natural gas prices followed oil prices up in January and February due to
much-publicized cold fronts across the Midwest. The May contract peaked at $3.22/mcf on February 16^th. However, prices fell in March when warmer weather took over. The recent decline in natural gas prices mirrors what can be seen in the natural gas storage numbers. Storage began the winter near full capacity but has fallen sharply in January and February due to cold weather.
Energy stocks, as measured by the XLE Energy Index, rose alongside oil
prices climbing 32% during the quarter. The rebound in oil prices came faster than expected and is staying higher than we would have expected. Our near-term outlook for energy stocks remains positive. We expect companies to report favorable results for the next few quarters. Longer-term, we have concern that oil demand will be constrained by power generation competition from renewable energy and decreased demand for gasoline and diesel due to a growth in electric vehicles.

Oil Prices

Oil prices continued their upward trend in the first quarter with WTI prices reaching mid-sixties in early March before closing the quarter closer to $60/bbl. Brent oil prices are trading approximately 5% above WTI prices. Improving global economic trends have improved the outlook for oil demand. OPEC, which initiated supply reductions last year, has maintained those reductions despite the improved demand outlook. Near-term, temporary events such as cold weather and the blockage of the SUEZ canal have helped keep spot prices high. The oil future curve is flat with longer-term pricing just below $60/bbl.

Meanwhile, domestic producers have been slow to react to higher oil prices. There are slightly more than half the number of active oil rigs in the United States versus this time last year (324 verses 624) and only 25% of the rigs operating at peak (1600). Note in the graph below how WTI oil prices began rising in the fall of 2020, but the rig count barely responded. International rig counts show a similar story. We are somewhat at a loss to explain the slow supply reaction to higher prices. Perhaps COVID issues are making it difficult to man the crews needed to run rigs. Perhaps producers are wary of supply bottlenecks that pushed oil prices into negative levels last fall. Perhaps producers believe OPEC will punish U.S. producers that expand when prices cross $50/bbl. by opening up supply and driving prices back down below $40/bbl. Whatever the reason, the lack of a supply response has the effect of keeping oil prices above the levels we believe would occur when supply and demand are in balance.

Natural Gas Prices

Natural gas prices followed oil prices up in January and February due to much-publicized cold fronts across the Midwest. The May contract peaked at $3.22/mcf on February 16^th. However, prices fell in March when warmer weather took over. Current prices are near $2.60/mcf, close to where they began the quarter. Natural gas futures rise modestly as they stretch into the fall approaching $2.75/mcf. There were 92 gas drilling rigs in operation as of March 26^th down from 102 rigs a year ago.

The recent decline in natural gas prices mirrors what can be seen in the natural gas storage numbers. Storage began the winter near full capacity but has fallen sharply in January and February due to cold weather. At current levels, storage is near 5-year averages. As we enter the end of the heating season, there is little chance that levels will move away from average levels.

Energy Stocks

Energy stocks, as measured by the XLE Energy Index, rose alongside oil prices climbing 32% during the quarter. The chart below shows that the performance of energy stocks in comparison to the S&P Composite Index.

Outlook

The rebound in oil prices came faster than expected and is staying higher than we would have expected. We have been adjusting our models to reflect higher prices but are maintaining our long-term oil price forecast of $50 per barrel and $2.50 per mcf. Energy companies should start reporting positive cash flow at these prices and increasing drilling budgets.

Our near-term outlook for energy stocks remains positive. We expect companies to report favorable results for the next few quarters. Longer-term, we have concern that oil demand will be constrained by power generation competition from renewable energy and decreased demand for gasoline and diesel due to a growth in electric vehicles. At the same time, increased supply from OPEC and continued drilling productivity will mean lower energy prices. We recommend investors stay focused on energy companies with solid balance sheets, low operating costs and protected prices.

How Fast are People Cutting the Cable Cord?

Posted on April 5, 2021 by Admin

Cord-Cutters, Advertisers, and Market Disruption

Internet television, or streaming TV, reached a tipping point last year. Viewers had more time at home to review the alternatives to cable and perhaps less money to pay for the cable subscription. This is only part of the reason why a full 15 percent of U.S. cable TV consumers cut the cord amid the pandemic-imposed lifestyle in 2020.

The number of subscribers to more traditional TV is fading just as the use of telephone landline customers faded after cell phones were adopted. And the change is happening quickly. The growth of TV viewers connected via streaming services grew to 84 million U.S. households according to eMarketer, while report fewer than 78 million U.S. households maintained a cable subscription by January 2021. This is causing accelerated disruption in spending on advertising. And the trend is unlikely to reverse. According to new research by TradeDesk and YouGov, the number of additional viewers who expect to cut the cord and be cable-free during 2021 is 27% which is an accelerated pace from the large 15% migration in 2020.

Subscriber Cost

Price is one of the factors driving this disruptive shift, but with untethered accessibility, fine-tuned selection, and the inclusion of traditional broadcasters offering online access, consumers can now opt for premium content they can watch where they want and on-demand. There is no longer a distinct prime time for viewing or advertisers, only prime shows.

Marketers acknowledge the rise of CTV and, as important, the move from linear TV. But, there still may be a heavier weighting toward ad spending on traditional TV relative to how the desired audience actually consumes news, sports, and entertainment. According to the TradeDesk report (The CTV Tipping Point), data indicates budgets are not yet fully allocated to where the target audience is most likely to be found. They reported that this is most prevalent for brands trying to reach a young audience. These brands are likely missing opportunities to reach potential customers who are no longer linked via a cable box. Despite the less than nimble shift, TradeDesk reports 89 percent of marketers believe that CTV advertising is just as, or more effective as linear TV. Each Spring a TV ad buying extravaganza named Upfronts is held where TV ad buyers and sellers hammer out billions in marketing agreements. At the most recent Upfronts, a majority (59 percent) of linear TV ad buyers said they’re making fewer upfront commitments in 2021, as the advertising industry is realigning to put their products on the screens of the right people. One significant finding in the TradeDesk report is marketers’ preference for CTV to build awareness of their brands. Forty-three percent identified CTV as the number one channel for brand storytelling in 2021. The next best for introducing a brand was social media (29 percent), and then linear TV (26 percent).

Sports Impact

Live sports broadcasting is a factor helping to shift traditional activity among both advertisers and consumers. Live sports had been a key selling point keeping consumers attached to linear television. This is important because access to watch live sporting events has often been cited as a primary reason consumers continue to keep their cable subscriptions. However, the pandemic may have altered this as many viewers went without many major sporting events in 2020. Since then, as sports slowly return to traditional channels, audiences haven’t been following suit.

Advertisements

Many have migrated to new ways of watching live sports, including streaming and social. As a result of these shifts, TV marketers are adjusting their creative approach to take advantage of the benefits of CTV, which differ from the norms of linear TV. This has caused brands to develop new types of creative ads tailored for separate audiences. According to the TradeDesk report, Ads are getting shorter, given that, the viewing experience on CTV differs from its linear counterpart. Additionally, marketers are also using more animation to prepare in case adjustments need to be made after the initial production.

Take-Away

Almost 50 percent of those who already have or plan to cut the cable cord say their main reason is that cable is too expensive. They just don’t feel they’re getting enough value with the service. At the same time, more and more people are attracted to streaming services because they prefer the viewing experience and on-demand, where and when they’re ready. At present, about half of TV viewers say they still subscribe to cable TV services. Demographically the transition is being driven by more than the under-35 years-of-age population, 20 percent of cable subscribers 55 and older said they plan to cut the cord too.

Once the cord is severed, and viewers adapt to the new services, they aren’t likely to return. Almost 79 percent of people who stopped paying for cable or never had it say they are unlikely to retain the service.

For investors, this growing shift to streaming means there could be opportunities in companies that provide streaming and ancillary services. Also, media companies to review to make see if they are changing as the world requires the new technology. Outside of the media industry, brands not reaching their intended audience with advertising may suffer as that could be a big differentiator between one brand and another with a similar product offering.

About gammaCore^TM

gammaCore^TM (nVNS) is the first non-invasive, hand-held medical therapy applied at the neck as an adjunctive therapy to treat migraine and cluster headache through the utilization of a mild electrical stimulation to the vagus nerve that passes through the skin. Designed as a portable, easy-to-use technology, gammaCore can be self-administered by patients, as needed, without the potential side effects associated with commonly prescribed drugs. When placed on a patient’s neck over the vagus nerve, gammaCore stimulates the nerve’s afferent fibers, which may lead to a reduction of pain in patients.

gammaCore is FDA cleared in
the United States for adjunctive use for the preventive treatment of cluster headache in adult patients, the acute treatment of pain associated with episodic cluster headache in adult patients, and the acute and preventive treatment of migraine in adolescent (ages 12 and older) and adult patients. gammaCore is CE-marked in the
European Union for the acute and/or prophylactic treatment of primary headache (Migraine, Cluster Headache, Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgias and Hemicrania Continua) and Medication Overuse Headache in adults.
gammaCore contraindications include but are not limited to:

Patients with an active implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker, hearing aid implant, or any implanted electronic device
Patients with a metallic device, such as a stent, bone plate or bone screw, implanted at or near the neck
Patients who are using another device at the same time (e.g., TENS Unit, muscle stimulator) or any portable electronic device (e.g., mobile phone)

Safety and efficacy of gammaCore have not been evaluated in the following patients:

Patients diagnosed with narrowing of the arteries (carotid atherosclerosis)
Patients who have had surgery to cut the vagus nerve in the neck (cervical vagotomy)
Pediatric patients (less than 12 years of age)
Pregnant women
Patients with clinically significant hypertension, hypotension, bradycardia, or tachycardia

Please refer to the gammaCore Instructions for Use for all of the important warnings and precautions before using or prescribing this product.

CanAlaska address change

Vancouver, Canada, April 5, 2021 – CanAlaska Uranium Ltd.

CanAlaska’s Management and Board of Directors wish Victor well in this new community role, and wishes to acknowledge the strong supporting role Victor has had with the direction of the Company’s activities since his appointment in 2008.

His new Community Liaison responsibilities for Cameco and Orano highlight how well regarded and knowledgeable is Victor.
