VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2016 / Elysee Development Corp. (TSXV: ELC) is pleased to announce that it has acquired 1.3 Million units of IBC Alloys Corp. at $0.375 per unit for a total investment of $487,500 and 232,500 units of Alexco Resource Corp. at $1.20 per unit for $279,000. These investments represent approximately 5% and 3% respectively of our total investment portfolio.

IBC Advanced Alloys Corp. is an advanced alloys and precision castings company serving a variety of industries including nuclear energy, automotive, telecommunications and a range of industrial applications. Advanced alloys utilizing rare metals, including beryllium, are produced for a range of specialized applications, with IBC currently supplying specialized beryllium-aluminum cast alloy parts for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program in the U.S.

Alexco Resource Corp. owns the historic Keno Hill Silver District in the Yukon which includes the high grade Bellekeno silver mine, which is now on interim suspension. Alexco is exploring other promising high-grade silver prospects on its other District properties, and has discovered two important new deposits – the Flame & Moth and Bermingham, with significant high-grade drill intercepts reported from Bermingham in 2014 and followed up during 2015.

During the three month period ended February 29, 2016 Elysee had net and comprehensive earnings of $391,851 as a result of net investment gains on its portfolio of $488,824. These financial statements, as well as our Audited Financial Statements for the year ended November 30, 2015, are available on SEDAR as well as on our recently updated web site at www.elyseedevelopment.com.

On April 27, 2016 the Company paid a dividend of $0.02 per share for fiscal 2015 to shareholders of record as of April 20, 2016 for total proceeds of $425,359.48. This was an eligible dividend for Canadian tax purposes.

As at May 20, 2016 our Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share was calculated as $0.42 per share. Moving forward, Elysee intends to update this NAV figure on a quarterly basis.

NAV is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) measure calculated as the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities divided by the total number of common shares outstanding as at a specific date. For the purpose of this calculation, share purchase warrants held by Elysee were valued based on their intrinsic value only. The warrants were not valued using the Black-Scholes model calculation, which would result in a higher value, as reported in our annual and quarterly financial statements. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. There is no comparable GAAP measure presented in Elysee’s consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that NAV can provide information useful to its shareholders in understanding its performance, and may assist in the evaluation of its business relative to that of its peer.

The Reality Show Focuses on Four Baltimore Men Following Diverse Paths to Attain Success at Any Cost

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2016 / 695 Entertainment, a company that specializes in diverse genres of video and music from hip-hop to pop, R&B, gospel, country and electronic, recently announced the launch of their latest venture, a TV series called All or Nothing. The reality show is currently in production and follows four men rising from riot-torn Baltimore City and confronting depression, unemployment, criminal histories, conflict, and frustration from family, friends and foes.

According to a representative of 695 Entertainment, All or Nothing’s cast members have a single goal in common: they each want to break into the rap music and entertainment industry. The show features Nathaniel “Centree” Jones, Jr., Dominc “Nik Soprano” Newsmith, Jamal “Sosa” Weldon, and Gary “D Reign” and follows their lives as they continuously move towards their dreams while dealing with their own life drama. For example, Centree, the group’s writer and producer, has trouble with his romantic relationships; Soprano is frustrated with his family and home; Sosa is a full-time dad of twins who is also juggling college; and D Reign is a Caucasian man who is determined to achieve his goal of becoming a rap artist in a Black culture.

At this time, 695 Entertainment is seeking the necessary funds to continue producing All or Nothing through Kickstarter. If funded in full, the first season, a 12-episode project, will be completed, marketed, and submitted to networks and social media. Funding will also help to produce the soundtrack, finance expenses for promotion, and further develop the show.

In exchange for contributions, 695 Entertainment is offering supporters copies of the soundtrack, signed pictures of the cast, and exclusive trailers.

“They are going for broke, giving all or nothing,” said 695 Entertainment. “They are putting their private business out for public scrutiny to depict the struggle, heartaches, and challenges and yes, even the fun stuff associated with getting into the music business.”

Individuals interested in learning more about All or Nothing can visit the show’s Kickstarter page for additional information.

About All or Nothing:
Reality television has become wildly popular in the last decade, and it almost seems like the genre produces the majority of programming on television nowadays. All Or Nothing has some of Baltimore’s finest rappers who are letting their audiences in on the drama and struggle in their daily lives. Despite their individual life drama, these four determined brothers rise out of the ashes like the Phoenix. For more information, please visit https://goo.gl/aze4Mj

The Modern Fuel Mechanical Pencil is a Seamless CNC Machined Work of Art

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2016 / Andrew Sanderson is pleased to announce The Modern Fuel Mechanical Pencil. The pencil is made from either aircraft grade aluminum, or high quality brass, and is designed to appear as one solid unit without seams or connecting pieces.

As a mechanical designer, Sanderson works with mechanical pencils everyday. For years he would go through plastic pencils that would quickly ware out or break. It didn’t seem logical to him that mechanical pencilsare considered “disposable,”and that his own reliance on them added to the world’s problem of plastic waste that will never decompose.

Sanderson knew there had to be a better way, and after several hundred hours of design and testing, he created a single pencil that would last a lifetime.

The Modern Fuel Mechanical Pencil features a seamless outer tube that stretches from the tip of the pencil to the eraser. This gives the surface a sleek, sophisticated look, and allows a grip that is free of distracting bumps or connecting points.

The major challenge with building a lead-feeding mechanical pencil is that it requires the outer housing to be separated into two pieces. The mechanism cannot function in any other way, and Sanderson quickly realized it’s the reason most stationary manufacturers save their high end designs for pens. Undeterred, he was able to machine a unit that paired without visible seams, and give the appearance that there are no connecting points.

After one metal piece is separated into the joining units through CNC machining, the pieces are fine-tuned by hand until all the seams are blended out. Finally, a coating is applied to pair the surfaces, and to give the pencil a smooth, non-slip grip.

“I wanted to design one that didn’t reveal how it was put together or the different parts it was made of at first sight,” says Sanderson. “With this design, you really have to investigate to find where the pencil breaks apart, the different pieces it is made of and how the parts are held together. This to me as a designer is as intriguing as the pencil itself.’

In order to fund his next production run, Sanderson has taken the project to Indiegogo. He will use the funds to push his pencil to a wider audience, and backers will be rewarded with special perks such as a pencil of their own.

The “Let’s Read Tour” is a unique program that combines reading with theatre in an effort to encourage kids to read

Los Angeles, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2016 / In modern America, schools struggle to compete with an evolving technology that constantly vies for children’s attention. As school programs are cut, social media, Internet and television become increasingly accessible, and skills like reading take a back seat to more “interesting” forms of entertainment.

It’s for this reason that Carlos Hardy and Christopher Edwards have created the “Let’s Read Tour,” a super hero-based theater production that travels between schools inspiring children to read.

Hailing from Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Illinois, the duo has first-hand experience with the struggling educational system in the United States. Their painful realities drew them to comic books, where not only did the characters stand for justice, peace, and equality, but their actions had a real effect on society.

Inspired by these stories of heroism, Hardy and Edwards came up with the unique idea to host live plays in schools that point back to downloadable books. The plays would pique the children’s interest, and the stories would finalize in print.

Quitting their jobs, and creating a play from scratch, Hardy and Edwards launched their “Let’s Read Tour” in Los Angeles and had no idea what to expect. To their amazement, their plays were received with cheers and enthusiasm from the children, many of whom rushed home to get their free downloadable copies of the books.

“The youth of today are extremely advanced,” says Hardy, “and they have a variety of social media outlets vying for their attention. Which forces reading into the background and other mindless activities forward. In order for reading to compete, it has to be transformed, updated and presented in a way that educates while engaging at the same time.”

Hardy and Edwards have committed to the goal of visiting 100 schools in 10 states, and have taken their project to Indiegogo to raise the money necessary to fund their 2-3 month excursion.

“When you support our tour, you place creative and artistic programing back into schools. You will help reading scores elevate to new heights,” says Hardy and Edwards.

Vancouver, Canada / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2016 / Canarc Resource Corp. (TSX: CCM, OTC-BB: CRCUF, Frankfurt: CAN) announces that it has closed the sale transaction under the definitive agreement announced on May 9, 2016 with Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX: EDR, NYSE: EXK) pursuant to which Canarc sold to Endeavour 100% of the shares of Canarc’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Oro Silver Resources Ltd., which indirectly holds a 100% interest in the El Compas Gold-Silver Mine Project (“El Compas”) in Zacatecas, Mexico, in consideration for 2,147,239 free-trading common shares of Endeavour, with an aggregate deemed value of CAD$10.5 million.

The Endeavour shares were issued to Canarc at a deemed price of CAD$4.89 per share, equal to the volume-weighted average trading price on the TSX for the 10 trading-day period immediately prior to May 6, 2016. As additional consideration, Endeavour has assumed Canarc’s obligation to deliver an aggregate of 165 troy ounces of gold (or the US Dollar equivalent thereof) to Marlin Gold Mining Ltd. (“Marlin”) in three equal payments of 55 troy ounces which are due in October 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Canarc Strategic Update
Canarc’s enhanced financial position should allow the Company to pursue more substantial M&A opportunities aimed at creating additional growth and value for shareholders. The Company has already begun reviewing several new projects generated by management or submitted by investment bankers.

Going forward, management remains focused on acquiring near term gold-silver-copper mining assets located in Mexico, US and Canada, together with a renewed effort to advance the Company’s New Polaris and Windfall Hills projects.

Canarc intends to hold the Endeavour shares received at closing as a marketable security having both short and long term value. Management plans to minimize treasury risk and maximize treasury value by monetizing Endeavour shares from time to time as dictated by market conditions. We believe that as gold and silver prices rise, the Endeavour share price also has good potential to rise and further increase Canarc’s treasury value.

In conjunction with the closing of the El Compas sale, the Marlin board nominee, Mr. Akiba Leisman, has resigned from the Canarc board.

Mr. Catalin Chiloflischi, CEO of Canarc, stated: “The closing of this transaction represents a positive step forward for Canarc that gives the Company the opportunity to continue growing from a position of financial strength. For the first time in many years, the company now has sufficient capital to pursue larger and more advanced M&A opportunities with a goal to create even more value for our shareholders.”

The App Offers Navigation for the Real World by Incorporating Innovation and Functionality to Make Traveling Easier

Los Angeles, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2016 / Steve Tresnan, a manager and former engineer, recently announced the launch of his new map application, MyMappApp, which improves upon the approach taken by widely used search and navigation apps. The application uses innovative features—such as intuitive interfaces—to make navigating more simple, cost effective, and user-specific.

According to the MyMappApp page, the app offers several features that other “mapplications” lack. For example, users can preview upcoming highway exit signs so that they can plan for food, gas, rest stops, and more, and the app’s on-the-go filters find points of interests that minimize impact on route-in-progress. Additionally, the app caters to the interests of each user by optimizing searches and including food and restaurant recommendations.

MyMappApp offers solutions for users who prefer applications that cater to specific situations and helps them plan trips with ease. The app provides user-friendly functionality, takes note of user preferences to offer suggestions, and delivers a customized experience.

“Our app’s intention is to directly connect users and businesses in desirable and mutually beneficial ways, which will revolutionize mapplications as we know them today,” said Tresnan. “There are 64.5 million users of Google maps, and by combining new technologies, we can reach millions of people with a compelling idea.”

At this time, Tresnan and the MyMappApp team have taken their project to Kickstarter, where they seek the necessary funds to continue developing the app. In exchange for contributions, Tresnan and the team are offering prizes such as prototypes and complimentary downloads of the app when it officially hits stores.

Individuals interested in learning more about MyMappApp can visit the application’s Kickstarter page for additional information.

About MyMappApp:

MyMappApp, a unique navigation system, organizes points-of-interest (POIs) as upcoming highway exit signs, allowing travelers to plan for food, gas, rest stops, etc. the way that they would in the real world. It incorporates different methods of transportation (i.e., walking, driving, public transportation, biking) into searches, ensuring results are relevant and specifically more desirable by each user. Among other key functions, MyMappApp optimizes stops and even business locations to help users get their tasks accomplished and get back home as quickly as possible.
