K9 Gold Corp. Yielding High Quality Gold Samples at Stony Lake Project as CEO Discusses Company’s Promising Exploration

NEW YORK, NY, Nov. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — K9 Gold Corp. (OTC Pink: WDFCF) (TSXV: KNC) (FSE: 5GP) continues to ramp up exploration of its extremely promising Stony Lake Project in Central Newfoundland as gold futures climbed to just below $1,900 an ounce at last Friday’s close.  K9 Gold Corp. announced last week that Overburden Drilling Management (ODM) completed the preliminary phase of till sampling, which followed up on the compilation of historic exploration work on the property that identified a large area with highly anomalous gold values in tills previously collected.  

In those previously collected tills, the company stated the calculated visible gold assays, by ODM, yielded 15 samples with values over 1500 parts per billion (ppb), four of which had values of 11.8, 12.8, 14.1, and 19.5 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au).

Stock Market Media Group, a news and media IR firm, caught up with K9 Gold Corp.’s Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Poloni, to discuss the company’s exploration of its Stony Lake Project, the gold and precious metals market, and funding opportunities that are keeping the project moving full steam ahead.  Jeff Poloni’s exploration career began at an early age when he spent his summers off from school, working for his father, and since then, he’s amassed 30 years of experience in mineral exploration and corporate management on projects in both North America and South America.

SMMG: When you were named the CEO of the company in September, what attracted you to join the team at K9 Gold Corp.?

Jeff Poloni: “Simply put, two things, management and the Stony Lake Project. Management at K9 Gold Corp. is an experienced, dedicated team that has an excellent track record in developing projects and building shareholder value. Additionally, the Stony Lake Project has all the right signatures to move it to the next level.”

SMMG:
With the current price of gold remaining just below $1,900/ounce, what is your short and long-term performance outlook for the gold and precious metals market?

Jeff Poloni: “I believe that the outlook for gold is excellent. Bank of America has a 12-month price target of $3,000. There have been a lot of big investors moving capital into gold and gold stocks recently.”

SMMG:
Can you bring us up to speed on the company’s current operations at the Stony Lake Project?

Jeff Poloni: “Currently we are actively working at Stony Lake conducting airborne VTEM, LiDAR and Imagery surveys, mapping, and rock and till sampling. We are also planning some trenching to open up a few areas with mineralized outcrop.”

SMMG:
For the average investor who isn’t familiar with exploration in the mining industry, can you explain what is the significance of where the Stony Lake Project is situated geographically?

Jeff Poloni: “The property covers a 27-kilometer long portion of the Cape Ray Valentine Lake structural zone, the host to several advanced-stage gold projects. Included are both Marathon’s Valentine Lake and Sokoman’s Moosehead project. The importance of faults in this zone is that it allows gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids to leak upwards from a deeper intrusive source.”

SMMG:
And for investors who aren’t versed in the industry’s language, what does “of favorable trend” and “significant structural trend” mean?

Jeff Poloni: “Since many mineral deposits are related to major structures, such as faults and shear zones, geologists always look for geological settings that are similar to known districts hosting major mines. Such areas are often referred to as both ‘a favorable trend’ and a ‘significant structural trend.’  In reality, the two terms are pretty much fully interchangeable.”

SMMG:
What did the company learn from the 2019 airborne magnetometer, radiometrics, and VLF-EM survey it had done, and how will K9 Gold Corp. capitalize on that information now?

Jeff Poloni: “The 2019 airborne survey provided the data to allow an interpretation of the structural patterns (first and second-order faults) underlying the upper sedimentary rocks. This has given us more specific targets for this next phase of exploration. This is of particular significance since we have found gold mineralization both in the intrusive rocks and within the overlying sediments.”

SMMG:
Additionally, you have announced the mobilization for a VTEM survey has begun. What do you hope to learn from this survey?

Jeff Poloni: “The VTEM survey will give us even more definition of mineralized structures. Along with the LiDAR, Imagery and mapping it will allow us to correlate gold mineralization and structure.”

SMMG:
K9 Gold Corp. announced that it is well funded, having raised gross proceeds of $3.5 million in 2 separate private placements, so what have you earmarked these funds for?

Jeff Poloni: “Yes, we are well-funded having raised $2.5 million in one private placement, and an additional $1 million in another private placement, which was led by Palisades Goldcorp, a major backer in the area. 

“These funds will be used for this first phase of exploration, which consists of till sampling, mapping, orthophotos, LiDAR, and VTEM airborne geophysics. It will also fund an initial drill program at our Stony Lake Project.”

SMMG:
Given your short and long-term projections for the gold and precious metals market, what are your expectations for K9 Gold Corp.’s future in the industry as it relates to its current projects and the potential for exploration?

Jeff Poloni: “Central Newfoundland is on both the Canadian and world stage as a source for orogenic gold deposits, with Stony Lake having all of the correct signatures for discovery. I believe the long-term outlook for gold will have investment moving into the sector.”

AMCI Acquisition Corp. Highlights Partner Advent Technologies’ Collaboration With Los Alamos National Laboratory and World-Class Research Team in Development of Next-Generation Fuel Cell Technology for the Automotive Industry

AMCI Acquisition Corp. Highlights Partner Advent Technologies’ Collaboration With Los Alamos National Laboratory and World-Class Research Team in Development of Next-Generation Fuel Cell Technology for the Automotive Industry

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
AMCI Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: AMCI) (the “Company”) today announced that Advent Technologies (“Advent”) – with which AMCI has entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger for a business combination – recently reached an agreement to collaborate with Los Alamos National Labs, University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), University of New Mexico and Toyota Motor North America R&D (TMNA R&D) to continue development of next-generation high-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (HT-PEM) fuel cell technology for the automotive industry. The program is funded by an Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (“ARPA-E”) OPEN award.

William Hunter, AMCI’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “This partnership speaks to Advent’s leading role in the fuel cell space. By partnering with prestigious research institutions and companies like Toyota and Los Alamos National Laboratory, Advent will be able to greatly leverage its expertise to deliver efficient and clean hydrogen technology to various sectors in the economy over the next decade.”

Dr. Vasilis Gregoriou, Advent’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We at Advent are committed to bringing HT PEM fuel cell technology to the market. Drawing on our leadership team’s decades of experience, we intend to commercialize and scale-up membrane electrode assembly (MEA) production while working closely with Tier-1 manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers. We believe that HT-PEM represents not only a breakthrough for heavy-duty automotive technology but also for aviation, portable, and off-grid power generation.”

Dr. Emory DeCastro, Advent’s Chief Technology Officer, added: “We are very excited to work with LANL (Los Alamos) and our other partners to advance this technology. These developments have the potential to lead to groundbreaking cost savings – including dropping overall fuel cell system costs by 25% and enabling higher power density and simplify packaging constraints. Furthermore, the potential to use eFuels instead of hydrogen can provide a significantly lower total cost of ownership and allow for faster deployment of fuel cell technology across the industry.”

The purpose of the development program is to use HT-PEM technology operating at 80oC-220oC to achieve a variety of objectives, including:

  1. High Energy Efficiency: The target efficiency of the HT-PEM simplified fuel cell system is 70% vs. 60% for current incumbent technology; thereby providing a significant total cost of ownership advantage. This is especially important for long haul trucks using hydrogen fuel cells.
  2. Fast Startup Time: Develop extremely stable fuel-cells that can start under nearly water-saturated conditions.
  3. Superior Heat Management: Completely remove the external humidifiers/demisters and substantially reduce the size of the radiator. Various industry sources have stated that radiators for Class 8 Trucks running with low-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (LT-PEM) technology are an enormous challenge. There is evidence that the size of the radiator required to run a Class 8 truck in hot and dry conditions (i.e. in places such as Nevada, Australia, Africa and India) is impractical and will pose a huge challenge for the deployment of current fuel cell technology. Next-generation HT-PEM technology aims to solve this problem.
  4. Increase Lifetime: Boost tolerance to impurities and improve performance with platinum and non-platinum catalysts.
  5. Address the hydrogen infrastructure challenge: Allow for the direct reformation of a variety of fuels (natural gas, methanol, ethanol, and zero-carbon emissions eFuels of the future) to low grade (impure) hydrogen within the vehicle, thus bypassing the need for expensive hydrogen storage, transportation, and de/compression technology and hydrogen refill stations.

About AMCI Acquisition Corp.

(NASDAQ: AMCI) is a blank check company incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses that are critical to the growing urbanization, electrification and infrastructure needs of the world.

Model N’s Fall 2020 Release for High Tech Offers Expanded AI/ML, Price Optimization and Channel Network Features

Model N introduces new revenue management and channel performance solutions with enhanced AI/ML reach for deal and channel intelligence

SAN MATEO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Model N, Inc. (NYSE: MODN), the leader in cloud revenue management solutions, today announced new revenue management and channel performance capabilities as part of its Fall 2020 high tech product release, including expanded artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities for deal optimization and channel intelligence.

In recent years, many of the largest high tech companies have initiated new strategies focused on managing all functions impacting net revenue, price and channel performance as a single revenue continuum. The latest release of Revenue Cloud for High Tech aligns Model N’s product strategy closely with its customers’ revenue success, helping address the ongoing need for companies to maintain revenue growth.

Model N Revenue Cloud for High Tech is the industry’s premier solution for end-to-end revenue management, stopping revenue leakage by bridging the gap between front-office and back-office processes and serving as the commercial system of record for revenue execution and channel automation. New features in the Fall 2020 product release provide additional AI- and ML-driven intelligence, key factors in growing topline revenue and maximizing margins, as well as automation for pricing, deal management and channel automation functions.

Specific features and functionality in Model N’s Fall 2020 release include:

  • Price Optimization and Management – Next-generation price optimization and management features for creating high-value deals and cross-tier pricing ranges.
  • Channel Network – Enabling channel partners to correct data submissions via a self-service portal, for more efficient data submission and faster access to more accurate channel sales data.
  • Rebate Management – For rapid creation and execution of new incentive and rebate programs, including a wide variety of prebuilt targeted templates, ability to handle thousands of goals/and benefits across a large set of products, and program performance analysis via real-time intelligence.
  • Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning – With AI and ML capabilities to enable new, intelligent, in-context, business insights, including optimized pricing and product recommendations.

“Our Fall 2020 product release is truly in sync with what is happening in high tech, supporting the industry by delivering next-generation features and functionality,” commented Suresh Kannan, Chief Product Officer at Model N. “Model N is one of the first revenue management providers to introduce and extend price optimization and AI/ML solutions for the complete revenue lifecycle.”

The need for price optimization and management solutions that capture lost revenue has never been greater, and high tech companies must modernize and optimize global pricing management to succeed in an era of increased competition and shrinking margins. By enabling high tech companies to automate their channel partner networks and more effectively manage incentive, promotion and rebate programs, Model N continues to assist its customers in making partners more self-sufficient, opening new avenues for revenue growth.

Forrester Principal Analyst Jay McBain commented on this market dynamic in a Forrester blog post, Channel Data Is A Competitive Differentiator, (January 2019). “Brands that provide an enhanced partner experience grow faster than their peers, are more profitable, and drive higher customer satisfaction and retention downstream.”
