Tetra Bio-Pharma Plays to Its Strengths with Pharma Approach, Plus Exclusive Interview — CFN Media
SEATTLE, WA–(Marketwired – May 4, 2017) – CFN Media Group (“CannabisFN”), the leading creative agency and digital media network dedicated to legal cannabis, announces publication of an exclusive interview and article discussing Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (CSE: TBP) (OTCQB: GRPOF) and its transition to a pharmaceutical-like approach to the cannabis industry. The interview is with Dr. Guy Chamberland, Tetra’s Chief Science Officer.
Smoked Cannabis Trials
Most mainstream physicians are hesitant to recommend the use of medical marijuana to treat any medical conditions due to the lack of controlled clinical trials. In many cases, there’s only anecdotal evidence of efficacy in treating certain medical conditions and several studies have shown possible negative side effects. There’s also a huge difference between various strains available on their market and very little data supporting one over another.
Tetra Bio-Pharma’s flagship clinical program intends to assess the safety and efficacy of smoked marijuana in treating pain in patients with cancer and AIDS. By doing so, the company aims to achieve prescription drug coverage to make medical marijuana more affordable for patients while reassuring physicians that the treatment is both safe and efficacious. The move could have tremendous implications for the industry that still struggles with a negative stereotype.
The team worked closely with U.S. and Canadian regulators to design and implement a Phase I safety trial (ongoing) that will eventually move to a large-scale Phase III efficacy trial targeting pain in patients where opioids and other options have been ineffective.
Partnerships
Tetra Bio-Pharma has recently unveiled several different partnerships that help expand its footprint and advance its clinical pipeline. On April 3, the company announced a definitive agreement to develop and commercialize a drug product containing dronabinol for the management of anorexia and cancer chemotherapy-related pain. The new product will be an oral mucoadhesive tablet based on IntelGenx’s proprietary AdVersa® technology, which avoids common side effects associated with the original drug, including upset stomach and headache.
On April 19, the company announced plans for the joint distribution of dried medical cannabis in the Maritime Provinces and Quebec with Aphria Inc. The agreement provides the company with dried cannabis for use in its aforementioned clinical trial program while generating near-term revenue to help finance the program’s development. This helps the company avoid the cost of establishing its own grow operations.

Sage Gold Grade Thickness Model-High Grade Zones-Clavos
Sage Gold Grade Thickness Model-High Grade Zones-Clavos
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – May 3, 2017) – Sage Gold Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:SGX) has completed a Grade times Thickness model for the Clavos gold deposit located 32 kms east north east in the prolific East Timmins Gold Camp. The purpose of this analysis is to determine plunge trends for the higher grade gold mineralization within the Clavos gold system. An outcome of this work is that a number of high grade intersections are proximal to primary structures below the 300 metre level controlling the lens geometry. These uncut assays in these intersections were drilled by Kinross and previously reported by United Tex Sol Mines Inc. and include the following as reported in press releases:
KC 99-131- 94.6g/t over 9.6 metres uncut – (press release September 21, 1999)
KC 99-137- 61.59g/t over 3 metres uncut (press release November 17, 1999)
KC 99- 155W- 85.15g/t over 3.2 metres uncut (press release March 2, 2000)
These holes are assumed to be reported as drill core lengths.
The development of the grade thickness model as detailed below has led to a re-interpretation of the potential plunge directions and controls on the gold mineralization at Clavos. The majority of the higher grade composites occur below the 300 meter level below and adjacent to the mine infrastructure. The intersection of the high angle back thrust faults with the low angle imbricate thrust faults are within reach of drill stations on the 225, 285 and 300 levels. The model also provides vectors to potential new gold plunge directions higher in the Clavos deposit such as at the 100 metre east level. Underground definition drilling will commence on May 7th on the 100 metre east level. Further underground drilling will follow from the 225 level to fill in up plunge from KC99-137 and from the 285 and 300 levels to test up plunge from KC99-131 and 155W.
Nigel Lees, President and CEO commented, “This modeling will provide Sage with the analytical framework to more precisely target underground definition, exploration and resource drilling. The exercise of plotting grade times width across the Clavos deposit has yielded higher grade plunge trends that will potentially outline additional resources. We are looking forward to the commencement of our underground drill program and expect to be drilling these higher grade zones next month.”
Sage has recently completed a compilation of the surface and diamond drilling assay database focusing on the gold mineralization by computing composite weighted average grades over core lengths for the major gold zones specified in the 2012 NI 43-101 resource estimation report as well as sub-zones not included in this report. The drill database includes holes which have been previously disclosed by previous operators such as those quoted above and holes which are in the drill database. This data comprised 569 surface diamond drill holes for all of the Clavos area drilling totalling 126,894 m for an average drill hole length of 225 m. A total of 837 underground drill holes with a combined length of 64,225 m and an average length of 77 m were also provided. The Clavos area drilling spans a strike length of 3.3 km covered by 171 geological cross-sections spaced from 15 metres to 30 metres apart. A total of 30,836 surface drilling assays and 13,912 underground drilling assays.
GRADE / THICKNESS CALCULATIONS
Composite intervals were based on a minimum cut-off grade of 2.75 g/t over a minimum true width of 1.2 metres. Grade capping was set at 90 g/t affecting 29 assays. An allowance of 2 metres for internal dilution was employed factoring in the stockwork and replacement veining style of gold mineralization. True widths were calculated by applying a 30{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} correction factor to the assay core lengths.
A total of 499 grade (grams) / true width (m) composites were manually calculated from the surface drilling database. The composites having a grams x m product greater than 30 total 46.
A typical example of some of the high grade composites are the historic holes KC99-131, 155W, KC00-176 and 159 which were drilled by Kinross exploring the property in 1999 and 2000. Please note that drill holes KC99-131,137,155W as originally reported above have been cut to 90g/t and are reported as true widths.
The table below is a sampling of some of the higher grade composites.
TABLE: SELECTED COMPOSITES CUT TO 90 GRAMS
HOLE_ID | FROM | TO | GRADE (G) CUT 90 G |
TRUE WIDTH (M) | G X M | |||||
CL_KC99-131 | 341 | 350.6 | 30.5 | 7.38 | 225 | |||||
CL_KC00-176 | 327.2 | 333.95 | 34.78 | 5.19 | 181 | |||||

CL_KC99-155W | 650.8 | 655 | 17.91 | 3.23 | 58 |
A total of 515 grade (grams) / true width (m) composites were manually calculated from the underground drilling database. The composites having a grams x m product greater than 30 total 70. Refer to the Sage website – www.sagegoldinc.com – longitudinal plot of the grade thickness model.
MODELING PARAMETERS
Since the four major mineralized vein systems are stratabound in nature and located proximal to the steeply dipping Pipestone Thrust Fault, a longitudinal projection of the centroids of the composite intervals for each hole was projected to a vertical WEST/ EAST plane. The grade estimation parameters employed a search radius of 60 metres selecting 13 nearest grade composite by Inverse Distance Squared method in 3D, then plotting and contouring the values on a 2D longitudinal section where the drill holes pierce the section. The G X M product was contoured in colour ranges set at 5 to 8; 8 to 13; 13 to 21; 21 to 34; 34 to 55; 55 to 89; > 89.
INTERPRETATION
The grade / thickness geological model reveals six major structures cross-cutting the main mine stratigraphy and the Pipestone Thrust Fault. The orientation and arrangement of these structures also displays a remarkable symmetry with structural lineaments interpreted from airborne magnetics. In a regional context, four of these arcuate structures exhibit the habit of imbricate thrust faults facing to the southeast. They conform with right lateral strike-slip deformation during the later stages of the D2 deformation compressional juxtaposing the Kidd-Munro ultramafic assemblage with the Davidson-Tisdale felsic volcanics. The imbricate thrust faults have orientations varying from 55 degrees to 70 degrees and transect the grade / thickness model at shallow angles to the west. A conjugate series of four back thrust faults with orientations at Az 150 degrees steeply crosscut the longitudinal section facing to the east. These faults served as important fluid corridors enhancing gold enrichment processes.
The geological, modeling computations and interpretations of this news release has been reviewed and approved by Sage’s consulting geologist, Peter Hubacheck, P. Geo, who is a Qualified Person (“QP”) as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Len MacKenzie, P.Geo. guided the geologic modeling of the grade / thickness exercise.

IWS Announces DC Water Installation
IWS Announces DC Water Installation
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – May 2, 2017) – International Wastewater Systems Inc. (“IWS” or the “Company”) (CSE:IWS)(CSE:IWS.CN)(FRANKFURT:IWI)(OTC PINK:INTWF) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a US$330,000 (CAN$478,000) contract to supply its innovative SHARC thermal energy exchange system to the new headquarters of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (“DC Water”) in Washington, DC.
The new $60 million headquarters (“DC Water HQ”) is being constructed on the waterfront of the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, DC and will serve as the new public face for the agency. DC Water’s green initiatives will be showcased in a deeply innovative facility featuring a bold and distinctive design developed by SmithGroupJJR in collaboration with Skanska. The building is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and will also employ many advanced strategies that will surpass LEED Platinum certification.
The SHARC system will allow DC Water HQ to use its own wastewater as a source of thermal energy to condition the building. This project represents a historic HVAC first. The DC Water HQ building will be the first ever deployment of this technology used to both heat and cool a building in the USA.
With two-thirds of all the outflow from DC’s sewers flowing through the underground infrastructure on the site, the system will have a virtually uninterruptible supply of thermal energy. Utilizing this technology, the design team has calculated that the DC Water HQ will take its place as one of the lowest energy-consuming office buildings in the region.
“The idea of building a 150,000-square-foot headquarters building directly over a pumping station would normally be viewed as implausible,” said SmithGroupJJR’s Corporate Director of Engineering Don Posson. “But by doing so, DC Water will be able to leverage the station’s wastewater to provide enough power to heat and cool this large building. It’s a breakthrough solution and a perfect complement to DC Water’s objective of a greener, healthier District of Columbia.”
IWS will install the SHARC 440 model with a flow rate of 250 gallons per minute, providing the primary energy source for building heat, and the primary energy rejection source for building cooling. IWS’s SHARC technology is a major contributor to the project’s LEED® Platinum 96 credit threshold, delivering one of the lowest energy consumption rates per unit of floor area possible, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 40{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}, and water consumption by hundreds of thousands of gallons annually.
Lynn Mueller, CEO of IWS commented: “DC Water’s new state-of-the-art building is a world class design-build project. The integration of SHARC technology demonstrates the world-class caliber of IWS’s projects and partners, and represents the increased adoption of IWS systems in the United States.”
