The Resource for the La Loutre Flake Graphite Property of 18.4 M Tonnes of 3.19{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Indicated and 16.7 M Tonnes at 3.75{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Flake Graphite Inferred with a cut-off of 1.5{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}. The sensitivity table also features 4.1 M Tonnes of 6.5{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Indicated and 6.2 M Tonnes at 6.1{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Flake Graphite Inferred with a cut-off of 3{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}. The Resource is estimated on the Graphene-Battery Zone only and does not include recent high grade intercepts of 28.5 metres of 16.53{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg and 21.5 metres of 11.53{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg reported January 6, 2016 and 9{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} over 90.75 metres reported September 24th, 2015 from the Refractory Zone.
The La Loutre property consists of contiguous claim blocks totalling approximately 2,867.29 hectares (28.67 km2) situated approximately 53 km east of Imerys Carbon and Graphite, formerly known as the Timcal Graphite Mine, North America’s only operating graphite mine, and 117 km northwest of the International Port of Montreal, key to shipping to North America and Europe. Lomiko is currently completing an option to acquire 80{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} of the property which requires $665,000 more in work and issuing of 1.5 Million shares to be issue February 15th, 2016.
The La Loutre Resource is constrained within a drilled area of approximately 900 m along the N150° striking trend of the graphitic paragneiss, 250 m across the strike and 300 m below surface. Geological interpretation and mineral resource estimation were based on 62 NQ-size drill holes (totaling 8,193.3 m) drilled by Lomiko and Canada Strategic Metals in 2014 and 2015.
InnovExplo performed the geological interpretation of lithological domains and mineralized zones using vertical sections spaced 50 metres apart. The mineralized zones strike with an average trend of N150° and an average dip of 45°. A minimum width of 4.0 meters (true width) was respected for the interpretation. InnovExplo constructed wireframes of lithological domains and mineralized zones showing a sufficient continuity. The 2016 Mineral resource Estimate includes 18 graphite-bearing zones with high graphitic carbon grades (assays > 4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg), 4 graphite-bearing zones with low graphitic carbon grades (assays < 4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg), 5 graphite-bearing quartzite domains (assays < 4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg), and a remaining external envelope hosting isolated low graphitic carbon grades.
The mineral resource was estimated using 3-D block modeling (block size = 5 m x 5 m x 5 m). The grades of the blocks were estimated using the inverse distance squared (ID2) interpolation method for a 1000-metre strike length corridor and up to a vertical depth of 300 metres below surface.
The resources are constrained in a Pit shell of 1,100 m by 350 m and a maximal depth of 200 m.
2016 Pit constrained Mineral Resource Estimate (Indicated and Inferred resources) at different cut-off grades – La Loutre Property. The official resource is reported at a cut-off grade of 1.5 {92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg.

- The effective date of the estimate is January 15, 2016.
- Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.
- Pit constrained results are presented undiluted within a Whittle-optimized pit shell, designed with a 30-m buffer around lakes.
- The estimate includes 18 graphite-bearing zones with high graphitic carbon grades (assays > 4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg), 4 graphite-bearing zones with low graphitic carbon grades (assays < 4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg), 5 graphite-bearing quartzite domains (assays < 4{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg), and a remaining external envelope hosting isolated low graphitic carbon grades.
- Pit-constrained resources were compiled at cut-off grades of 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg. The official pit-constrained resource is reported at a cut-off grade of 1.5{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cg (grey highlighting).
- Cut-off grades must be re-evaluated in light of prevailing market conditions (graphite price, exchange rate and mining cost, etc.).
- Density (g/cm3) data used is on a per zone basis varying from 2.70 to 2.85 g/cm3.
- A minimum true thickness of 4.0 m was applied, using the grade of the adjacent material when assayed, or a value of zero when not assayed.
- Based on a study of the effect of high-grade values (basic statistical analysis), no raw assays were capped for the mineralized zone, the lithological domains or the external envelope considered in the 2016 Mineral Resource Estimate. Compositing was done on drill hole sections falling within any of the interpreted mineralized zones, lithological domains or external envelope (composite = 1.5 m).
- Resources were estimated using GEOVIA GEMS 6.7 software from surface drill holes, using inverse distance squared (ID2) interpolation method in a block model (block size = 5 m x 5 m x 5 m).
- By default, interpolated blocks were assigned to the Inferred category. The reclassification to an Indicated category was done in areas with sufficient density of visually observed information and supported by a maximum distance to drill hole composite of 30 m.
- Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes and {92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}).
- The number of metric tonnes was rounded to the nearest hundred. Any discrepancies in the totals are due to rounding effects; rounding followed the recommendations in NI 43-101.
- InnovExplo is not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issue that could materially affect the mineral resource estimate.
- Whittle parameters (all amounts in Canadian dollars): Mining cost=$3.75; Processing cost=$9.40/t; G&A=$2.11/t; graphite price=$1,910/t; mining recovery=90{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}; milling recovery=95{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}; dilution=10{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}; wall slopes=45° (rock) and 18° (overburden).

Are Investors Returning to Gold?
Optimism Ahead for Junior Gold
– Momentum Public Relations –
Optimism in the Mining Industry
It is common knowledge that the mining industry has suffered and has even been near disastrous at times in the past few years. However, speculators and investors are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, after years of economic turmoil, we have seen recent rebounds in the Venture, which has many investors taking notice.
Impact on the Junior Mining Sector
Investors are examining a number of individual smaller gold mining prospects like Corex Gold (CGE:tsxv), that are nearing or have already begun to exploit reserves. At the current price of gold, these investors have every reason to be optimistic. Gold mining operations with solid resources and low cost of extraction can generate solid profit and create shareholder value when the commodity is trading in the area of USD $1200 to $1300 per ounce. Industry analysts expect the price to continue to rise within the next 12 months. Market observers also believe that the perception of safety of gold as an investment has for the most part returned.
With optimism in the mining industry on the rise, there is also good reason to believe that the current price of gold will positively affect the junior mining sector.
While there is cause for optimism in the junior mining sector, it is important to remember that standard business fundamentals still apply. Wise and experienced investors will lay low and avoid being caught up in “pricing euphoria” and will continue to look at key metrics, management experience and historical data to determine the worthiness of an investment.
When evaluating a company’s ability to produce resource and provide value to shareholders, it’s always important to ‘dig down’ and see who you’re working with. In the case of the aforementioned Corex Gold (CGE), apart from the ongoing joint venture partnership with GoldCorp. (G:TSX – GG:NYSE), one name stands out above the rest;
Chester F. Millar.
Born in British Columbia in 1927, Chester Millar began his career in the Canadian mining industry when he discovered copper gold deposits, after which he founded Afton Mines Ltd. in Kamloops, British Columbia. The company was acquired by the Teck Corporation, which operated the Afton Mine until its closure in 1997.
Later on, in the 1970’s, Millar pioneered the use of heap leaching to process low-grade gold ores in the western part of the United States. He also successfully introduced the process of heap leaching in Latin America by writing a book about the technical process in Spanish that received overwhelmingly positive responses from engineers and other interested parties in the community.
One of the mining industry’s most successful entrepreneurs, Millar was inducted in to the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in 2008, having helped many junior exploration companies such as Gamis Gold and Eldorado Gold transform into substantial gold producers with global operations. Millar also contributed to the early growth of Alamos Gold and Castle Gold, two companies based in Mexico, with the belief that mining explorations should provide long-term benefits to the local people.
With few equals as a builder of junior mining exploration companies and extensive experience in Mexico, Chester Millar sits on the operations team at Corex Gold. The Corex Gold Company is considered one of the premier exploration companies in Mexico, which has a mission to create shareholder wealth through the discovery of new gold deposits in the area. As an emerging company, Corex investors participate in quality exploration projects and the potential to take part in possible major gold discoveries.

A Huge Opportunity for Retailers in 2016
Mobile Couponing is a Huge Opportunity for Retailers in 2016
– Momentum Public Relations –
Consumers love coupons. According to RetailMeNot, an astonishing 92{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} of North American consumers use coupons on a regular basis. While most retailers are aware of the marketing and sales power of coupons, a significant percentage have yet to make the shift to digital coupons. Even though 90 million consumers will have used a digital coupon at least once by the end of 2016, this channel is still very underutilized by retailers of all sizes.
Since consumers have made it clear that their purchases are directly influenced by coupons and they’re quite comfortable with mobile coupons, here’s how retailers can make the most of mobile couponing in 2016 and beyond:
- Don’t Be Afraid of Coupon Consistency
Some retailers are afraid of using mobile coupons on a consistent basis. While this is an understandable concern, industry data shows that consistency actually increases the effectiveness of coupons. Retailers who commit to a consistent mobile coupon strategy are able to drive predictable redemption rates, while retailers that only deliver occasional coupons via mobile generally experience erratic results.
- Make Promotions Exclusive to Mobile
Although consumers love good deals, what they love even more is feeling like they’re getting a good deal that’s exclusive to them. Making a point of only sending certain promotions via mobile will create that exact type of feeling for customers. Letting people know that exclusive promotions are only available via mobile is also a great way to increase mobile signups.
- Find Opportunities to Surprise and Delight
Another reason that mobile coupons present such a compelling opportunity for retailers is they make it possible to deliver coupons in real-time. For example, if a customer is about to check out, an enticing coupon can be delivered directly to their phone that gives them a great deal on a relevant upsell. This type of approach is both beneficial to retailers’ bottom line and creates a great experience for customers.
- Review Data to Refine Mobile Strategy
Retailers have access to more customer data than ever before. When combined with an intelligent mobile couponing system, retailers can use all of this data to analyze different promotional efforts and pinpoint which ones drive the best results. Having the ability to analyze and refine coupons on an ongoing basis makes it possible for retailers to create a highly optimized mobile promotional strategy.
- Use the Right Tool to Manage Mobile Couponing
Retailers can drive significant results by committing to a consistent mobile coupon strategy, using promotions that are exclusive to mobile, finding opportunities to surprise & delight and utilizing data to refine their mobile strategy. The key to putting all those pieces of the mobile coupon puzzle into place is using the right tool.
Mobi724 Global Solutions (MOS:CSE) is the perfect solution for retailers who want to make the most of the opportunity presented by mobile couponing. By integrating the tech into an elegant platform, coupons can be linked to a consumer’s banking or credit card. Not only does that eliminate the friction associated with many other mobile coupon backends, but Mobi724’s cutting-edge technology provides retailers with everything they need for real-time mobile coupon delivery and data collection.

Gold Jumps on Fed Interest Rate Announcement
The FOMC Interest Rate Increase was Short on Expectations – Gold Surges
– Momentum Public Relations –
The Federal Reserve’s biggest meeting of the year was held on March 15-16, capped off by a press conference from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. In the official press release, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) stated:
“Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee currently expects that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity will expand at a moderate pace and labor market indicators will continue to strengthen. However, global economic and financial developments continue to pose risks. Inflation is expected to remain low in the near term, in part because of earlier declines in energy prices, but to rise to 2 percent over the medium term as the transitory effects of declines in energy and import prices dissipate and the labor market strengthens further. The Committee continues to monitor inflation developments closely.
Against this backdrop, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 1/4 to 1/2 percent. The stance of monetary policy remains accommodative, thereby supporting further improvement in labor market conditions and a return to 2 percent inflation.”
Yellen would not rule out the possibility of an April rate hike, striking a notably cautious tone throughout her press conference. She stressed that the committee’s projections were not to be viewed as promises and were subject to change as new data became available. However, the two projected interest rate hikes for 2016 are down from the four hikes experts expected back in December.
Although the FOMC announcement was notable for investors of all types, those interested in gold were particularly enthused by the news. After posting negative returns for the past three years, 2016 has brought plenty of good news for gold investors. Seeing a 13{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} plus hike in the early months of 2016, gold dropped briefly last week before spiking immediately after the FOMC announcement.
Gold began 2016 trading at $1,078.40 USD an ounce. As of March 17, it was trading at $1,262.70 USD an ounce. Reasons for gold’s continued gains include:
- The stock market has been off to sluggish start for 2016. This prompted the rise of gold as investors started losing faith in their stocks and seeking alternative investments. Gold is well regarded as good investment for those seeking protection from global insecurities.
- A weak dollar associated with low interest rates in the United States makes dollar denominated commodities such as gold more appealing. Historically, gold prices increase whenever the value of paper currency falls.
- The Feds appear to be leaning towards higher employment at the expense of higher inflation.
If you’re interested in diversifying your investments with gold, there are four primary options to consider:
- Physical Gold: Banks sell 24 carat gold for investors, but expect to pay a premium for the 99.99{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} purity. Jewelry is often a more affordable way to invest, but don’t forget to check for purity and factor in the cost of a secure facility for safe storage.
- Gold ETFs: Offered by fund houses, gold exchange traded funds are listed on the stock market. They can be purchased and sold just like shares of stock.
- Gold Mutual Funds: Allowing investors to invest through SIPs, gold mutual funds invest in multiple gold ETFs.
- Gold Bond Schemes: Gold-denominated bonds are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) with a fee linked to current gold prices. They have a maturity date of eight years and an exit option after five years.
Although now may seem to be the perfect time to invest in gold, please keep in mind that prices will inevitably continue to fluctuate. Wait for gold to drop to the lowest possible price before it soars to get the highest return on your investment.
