TORONTO, Dec. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FenixOro Gold Corp (CSE:FENX, OTCQB:FDVXF, Frankfurt:8FD) is pleased to announce that it is hosting a Webinar to provide insight and context on the successful drilling results received to date at its Abriaqui Project in Antioquia, Colombia. VP Exploration Stuart Moller and CEO John Carlesso will discuss the results to date.

FenixOro CEO John Carlesso commented: “While it is early in the program the results to date are demonstrating the presence of “Buritica style” mineralization – the combination of very high grade gold along with wider zones of lower grade mineralization. We are very pleased that our team is consistently intercepting the mineralized structures we are aiming for. With many new targets being generated and several areas still untested, our view of the potential for Abriaqui remains very positive. The objective of this webinar is to ensure that our audience of investors and stakeholders is informed of our understanding and the significance of the results received so far.”

Technical Information

Stuart Moller, Vice President Exploration and Director of the Company and a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101 (P.Geo, British Colombia), has prepared or supervised the preparation of the technical information contained in this press release. Mr. Moller has more than 40 years of experience in exploration for precious and other metals including ten in Colombia and is a Fellow of the Society of Exploration Geologists.

Drill core sampling is done in accordance with industry standards. The HQ and NQ diameter core is sawed, and half core samples are submitted to the laboratory. The other half core along with laboratory coarse reject material and sample pulps are stored in secure facilities on site and/or in the sample prep lab. Following strict chain of custody protocols, the samples are driven to the ISO 17025:2017 certified ALS Laboratory sample preparation facility in Medellin and ALS ships the prepared pulps to their assay laboratory in Lima, Peru. Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards totaling 15% of the total samples are inserted into the sample stream. To date, no material quality control issues have been detected. Gold is analyzed by fire assay with 50 gram charges for grades in excess of 10 grams per tonne and the additional elements are analyzed by ICP with appropriate follow-up for over-limits.

Reported grade intervals are calculated using uncut gold values at a minimum grade cutoff of one gram per tonne gold. The one gram level was chosen as being reasonable for reporting purposes but it has no necessary relation to potential future resource/reserve calculations. The current database is too small to calculate statistically valid levels for cutting of high grade. Maximum sample length is one meter and the length of sub-cutoff grade core contained within a given interval is restricted to one meter. Reported sample and interval widths are based on lengths of individual samples in core and do not necessarily represent true widths of mineralization. True widths will often be less than the quoted interval lengths.

The currently reported results may not represent full results for a given drill hole as some additional sampling may be required. All material drill results will be publicly reported in due course regardless of when they are received.

The comparison between Abriaqui and the nearby Buritica project is meant only to indicate the similarities between the two in terms of geological setting. FenixOro does not imply that exploration results and/or economic characteristics of a potential future mine at Abriaqui will be similar to those seen at Buritica.

About FenixOro Gold Corp.

FenixOro Gold Corp is a Canadian company focused on acquiring gold projects with world class exploration potential in the most prolific gold producing regions of Colombia. FenixOro’s flagship property, the Abriaqui project, is located 15 km west of Continental Gold’s Buritica project in Antioquia State at the northern end of the Mid-Cauca gold belt, a geological trend which has seen multiple large gold discoveries in the past 10 years including Buritica and Anglo Gold’s Nuevo Chaquiro and La Colosa. As documented in “NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Abriaqui project Antioquia State, Colombia”(December 5, 2019), the geological characteristics of Abriaqui and Buritica are very similar. The report also documents the high gold grade at Abriaqui with samples taken from 20 of the veins assaying greater than 20 g/t gold. A Phase 1 drilling program has begun at Abriaqui following the completion of surface and underground geological mapping and sampling, as well as a preliminary magnetometry survey.

FenixOro’s VP of Exploration, Stuart Moller, led the discovery team at Buritica for Continental Gold in 2007-2011. At the time of its latest report, the Buritica Mine contains measured plus indicated resources of 5.32 million ounces of gold (16.02 Mt grading 10.32 g/t) plus a 6.02 million ounce inferred resource (21.87 Mt grading 8.56 g/t) for a total of 11.34 million ounces of gold resources. Buritica began formal production in November 2020 and has expected annual average production of 250,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of approximately US$600 per ounce. Resources, cost and production data are taken from Continental Gold’s “NI 43-101 Buritica Mineral Resource 2019-01, Antioquia, Colombia, 18 March, 2019”). The comparison between Abriaqui and the nearby Buritica project is meant only to indicate the similarities between the two in terms of geological setting. FenixOro does not imply that exploration results and/or economic characteristics of a potential future mine at Abriaqui will be similar to those seen at Buritica. Continental Gold was recently the subject of a takeover by Zijin Mining in an all-cash transaction valued at C$1.4 billion.

SEATTLE, Dec. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OctoML, the MLOps automation company for superior model performance, portability and productivity, today announced that the 3rd Annual Apache TVM and Deep Learning Compilation Conference concluded with hundreds of attendees representing 35 countries gathering to discuss the latest advances in deep learning compiler optimization. This was the biggest TVM Conference yet, with more than 20 hours of live-streamed content presented by 65 speakers spanning more than 20 organizations.

In his opening keynote, Tianqi Chen, co-founder and CTO of OctoML and co-creator of Apache TVM, gave an update on the TVM project. In a major step forward for the growth and success of the project, he announced that TVM had officially graduated as a top-level Apache Software Foundation project. This was alongside updates on four major areas for which TVM greatly improved support in the last year:

• Improved model optimization through automatic optimization scheduling with the Ansor framework.
• Increased edge device coverage through µTVM for tinyML bare metal device support, enabling model optimization for resource constrained embedded targets.
• A new unified intermediate language to support even more advanced models and optimizations.
• Improved support for heterogeneous accelerators, giving TVM the ability to use the full variety of resources available on target systems.

Chen then outlined a roadmap for the future of TVM, including further development of the unified intermediate language, deeper integration with standard computation libraries like Numpy, an improved on-ramp for new users and developers with a stabilized API (looking towards a full 1.0 release), new user tutorials, and expanded developer documentation.

“I couldn’t be more proud to see TVM become a Top Level Apache Project,” said Chen. “That recognition, of the Apache way of open development, combined with a 50% growth in the TVM contributor and continued commitment to TVM from many of the world’s largest technology companies, sets the stage for another year of incredible success as TVM becomes the de facto industry standard for deep learning compilation.”

Leading cloud and edge AI providers, including Amazon, AMD, Arm and Sima.ai, were also featured in keynote sessions about how their engagement with TVM improved their ML pipelines. For example, Amazon showcased how TVM enabled 38% higher throughput on BERT models, resulting in 49% lower cost for running its models.

Other presenting companies included Alibaba, Bosch, Google, Huawei, Microsoft, NTT and Qualcomm. These talks covered a range of topics about how TVM is being used and extended for production workloads. The range of uses highlighted the power and flexibility of the TVM framework and the power of open source in allowing users to extend the software for their needs. For example, Amazon and Bosch are actively extending the optimization framework, with improved search algorithms and cost analysis through virtualization. Xilinx, AMD and Arm are able to quickly target new and emerging hardware platforms with TVMs extensible compiler framework.

In addition to these industry highlights, the research and development community was also well represented at the conference, including a full session on Ansor, the new automatic optimization framework, was delivered by Lianmin Zheng of U.C. Berkeley, who gave a comprehensive overview of this powerful new feature. Jared Roesch of OctoML and Joey Chou of Amazon delivered talks about extending TVM to support new languages and custom ML hardware.

The conference also included general talks from KubeFlow co-founder David Aronchik of Microsoft about securing ML systems, Jacques Pienaar of Google about the MLIR project, and a presentation from Dr. Joey Gonzalez of U.C. Berkeley about recent advances in ML research.

All the conference presentations are available to watch at https://tvmconf.org.

The attacked worker sought medical care for injuries sustained last week after the assailant punched and pushed her face-first into the concrete. SEIU Local 2 has written to Tropicana management to grant access to the video footage of the attack to assist a criminal investigation into the event. As the strike enters its 7th week, SEIU Local 2 is calling Tropicana management back to the bargaining table to end the strike immediately.

TORONTO, Dec. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tropicana workers returned to the picket line this morning reeling from having witnessed a violent attack against a picketer on Friday, December 18th. The victim is today missing her first day of picketing in 7 weeks to seek medical care. She reports that she is still in significant physical pain after having been threatened, punched, and pushed to the floor by a family member of the Tropicana management team.

A police report has been filed, and an investigation is pending. Legal counsel for the Union wrote to Tropicana management asking them to provide access to the surveillance footage of the attack as soon as possible. SEIU Local 2 is concerned that the footage may be compromised since the assailant is a senior Tropicana manager’s sister.

The strike is a direct result of years of wage freezes and management’s continued insistence on wage freezes. Tropicana has taken the untenable position to prolong this strike instead of providing the modest 1% wage increase every year for three years asked by workers. Tropicana management actively ratcheted up tensions on the picket line by hiring security guards and strike-breakers, fomenting a situation where violence was more likely to occur. The assault ultimately rests on the shoulders of Tropicana management.

As the pandemic worsens and Ontario enters into full lockdown protocols, workers are at increased risk on the picket line. Talks between management and SEIU Local 2 resumed on Friday, December 18th, following the worker assault, but so far have stalled. Following the breakdown, workers gathered at Honourable Ahmed Hussen’s office on Saturday to demand that he act to end unfair wage freezes for Tropicana workers. SEIU Local 2 is ready to return to the table to settle the situation at any time.

SEIU Local 2 represents workers in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick and British Columbia.
