Blog Coverage Deutsche Bank Hives off its UK Insurance Unit to Phoenix Group

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2016 / Active Wall St. blog coverage looks at the headline from Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB) as the company announced on September 28, 2016 that it had finalized an agreement with Phoenix Life Holdings Limited to sell its UK based Abbey Life business. The deal is valued at £935 million, or around $1.2 billion based on current exchange rates. Register with us now for your free membership and blog access at:  http://www.activewallst.com/register/.

Today, AWS is promoting its blog coverage on DB. Get all of our free blog coverage and more by clicking on the link below: http://www.activewallst.com/registration-3/?symbol=DB

Deutsche Bank owned Abbey Life by way of Deutsche Asset Management. As per the sale agreement, Phoenix Life Holdings Limited (a subsidiary of Phoenix Group Holdings Limited) will acquire the complete business of Abbey Life which includes Abbey Life Assurance Company Limited, Abbey Life Trustee Services Limited, and Abbey Life Trust Securities Limited. The transaction is subject to approvals from regulatory bodies including Prudential Regulatory Authority.

Commenting on the sale, John Cryan, Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Bank, said:

“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Phoenix Group. Deutsche Asset Management will continue to focus on its core businesses of Active, Passive and Alternatives, while this transaction will also strengthen Deutsche Bank’s capital position. We continue to build a simpler and better Deutsche Bank.”

Implications:

For Deutsche Bank

Deutsche Bank had acquired Abbey in 2007 for £977 million and has been looking at selling it off since the last one year. For Deutsche Bank the sale means it will face a pre-tax loss of around €800 million (approx. $ 895 million); however it will mainly be write-offs in terms of goodwill and other intangible assets. The sale will also result in influx of cash which will increase Deutsche Bank’s capital ratio by 10 basis points.

Deutsche Bank has been under financial pressure and CEO John Cryan has been working towards overhauling the entire organization, increasing cash and assets base. New European regulations, which mandate more capital against any assets as well as low interest rates, have played a major role in pushing the sale.

For Phoenix Group Holdings

Acquisition is a part of Phoenix Group’s long-term strategy for growth in a low interest market scenario. In May 2016, Phoenix Group via its subsidiary Pearl Life Holdings had acquired AXA’s UK investment and pensions business. With the current acquisition, Phoenix Group will add £10 billion of assets under management (AUM) and around 735,000 new policyholders. From purchase of Abbey Life, Phoenix Group expects to earn £0.5 billion cash flows for the period 2016–2020. From 2021 onwards the cash flows are expected to increase to £1.1 billion which will help the company’s plans to increase dividends for its shareholders.

Phoenix Group plans to fund its acquisition of Abbey Life with a bank lending to the tune of £250 million and a sale of equity with a rights issue valued at £735 million.

Legal hurdles

Deutsche Bank is under financial pressure and its stock has been hit hard in recent times. It has been looking at raising funds either from asset sale or any other means to improve its balance sheet. The public offering of Deutsche Bank’s German Postbank consumer division was also put on hold. The US Department of Justice is demanding $14 billion from Deutsche Bank as settlement for probe into sale of mortgage-backed securities during the pre-crisis period.

Another legal tangle is linked with the current asset sold – Abbey Life. UK’s insurance regulatory body – Financial Conduct Authority – has been investigating Abbey Life’s annuity sales and other practices which could lead to claims from policy holders or fines. As one of the conditions of sale, Deutsche Bank has agreed to indemnify Phoenix Group against possible future claims to the extent of $228 million. The resultant legal fees are going to take a toll on Deutsche Bank’s reserves.

Stock Performance

On Wednesday, September 28, 2016, Deutsche Bank’s shares closed the trading session at $12.30, jumping 3.19% from its previous closing price of $11.92. A total volume of 14.47 million shares exchanged hands at the end of the day, which was higher than the 3-month average volume of 5.77 million shares. At the close yesterday, the stock’s market cap was $17.01 billion.

Analysts and industry experts have been speculating that unless the parent bank manages to raise fresh capital or the German government steps in to bailout the bank, its survival is hanging on a thin thread. In either scenario investors will take a hit. The worst case scenario if Deutsche Bank topples could lead to a major financial and banking crisis globally.

Forum and Uracan Commence Drilling on Clearwater Property in Patterson Lake South Area

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2016 / Forum Uranium Corp. (TSXV: FDC) (“Forum”) and Uracan Resources Ltd. (TSXV: URC) (“Uracan”) announce the commencement of a 3,000 metre drill program on Forum’s 100% owned Clearwater Project, on trend from Fission Uranium’s Triple R deposit and Nexgen Energy’s Arrow Deposit in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan (Figure 1). The Patterson Lake Corridor continues to yield significant uranium mineralization 840 metres to the southwest of the original discovery in the direction of the Clearwater Project.

A total of eleven drill holes totalling 2,836 metres have been completed to date on the property. This previous drilling defined a number of target areas with altered and reactivated graphite bearing structures with elevated boron and nickel geochemistry and anomalous uranium values. Forum and Uracan plan to drill ten to twelve drill holes to follow-up these structures along the Mongo and Key trends and to test new targets that have not yet been drill tested.

In addition, a 12 line kilometre ground electromagnetic survey is currently underway on the Clearwater Project to better target the planned drilling.

Uracan Option Agreement

Uracan can earn a 25% interest in the Clearwater property by spending $1.5 million (approximately $500,000 spent to date), a 51% interest in the Clearwater property by spending $3 million in exploration over three years and up to a 70% interest by spending $6 million over five years. The Clearwater Project covers a total of 9,912 hectares adjoining Fission Uranium’s Patterson Lake South claims to the southwest. Forum will be the Project operator until Uracan earns its 51% interest, after which Uracan may elect to become the operator.

Figure 1: The Mongo Trend is the extension of the Patterson Lake Corridor, host to the Triple R and Arrow uranium deposits. The Key Trend has demonstrated potential for uranium deposition from previous drill programs by Forum and Uracan.

Gainey Intersects Near-Surface Mineralization Over 70 Meters of 1.14 g/t Au Eq at La Nueva Victoria, Mexico

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2016 / Gainey Capital Corp. (TSXV: GNC) (OTCQX: GNYPF) (“Gainey” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from the first hole of the Company’s ongoing, Phase 1 drill program at the near surface, La Nueva Victoria Mineralized Zone (“La Nueva Victoria”) of the El Colomo property in Sierra Madre Golden Belt, Mexico. The mineralized interval commences at 5.15 meters from surface for 70.85 meters of 0.65 g/t Au and 35.31 g/t Ag (1.14 g/t Au Eq), please see Table 1 below for more details:

*Au Equivalent calculated using a price of $1,300 US/oz for gold and $18 US/oz for silver.

Hole 1 targeted the center of the silicified vein breccia zone, consisting of grey quartz veining and permeable lithic tuff, of the La Victoria structure at a dip of -60 degrees. Two additional holes targeting this zone are currently being processed, and the results are anticipated shortly.

Rafael Gallardo, Senior Geologist of Minera Cascabel S.A. de C.V., who is leading the drill program, commented, “The results that we have received for the first drill hole are very encouraging and I look forward to the results from the other two holes designed to target this zone. The near-surface Au-Ag mineralization we have encountered is typical of epithermal low-sulphidation type deposits found in the area.”

David Coburn, CEO of Gainey, commented, “The maiden drill results on La Nueva Victoria confirm our model for sub-surface mineralization following up on our initial detailed sampling program. Further drilling along trend and at depth has the potential to see this zone expand significantly and, in addition to future drilling at La Higuerita and El Arrayan, have the potential to support the discovery of an under-explored gold-silver mineralized system.”

El Colomo Property

El Colomo is a highly prospective, 187 km2 property with district-scale gold-silver potential located within the ‘Golden Corridor’ in Sierra Madre, Mexico. High-grade and bulk tonnage targets have already been identified through prior exploration and there are strong indications of continuity between La Higuerita, La Nueva Victoria and El Arrayan (at least 2 km in strike length). Please refer to Figure 1 of this release for a map showing the extent of the El Colomo property.

97% of this 18,766-hectare project has not been explored using modern concepts & technology. All 20 mineralized zones identified to date are located in the central portion of the property and within a 1.5 km radius of each other.

Figure 1 – Full Extent of the El Colomo Property

Qualified Person

David Hladky, P. Geo. is the Qualified Person with respect to NI 43-101 at El Colomo.

La Nueva Victoria Drilling and Assay QA/QC

All drill core from this release is drilled at HQ diameter and is split into equal halves near site. All samples are assayed using standard 33 element ICP and 50 gram fire assay with atomic absorption finish by ALS in Vancouver, Canada.

QA/QC programs using internal standard samples, field and lab duplicates and blanks, indicate good accuracy and precision in a large majority of standards assayed. As the mapped mineralized corridors strike N-S, the drill holes were designed to have azimuths perpendicular or as close to perpendicular to the strike as the permitted pad would allow. As this is the first drill program by Gainey at El Colomo, the dip of the main structure is not entirely known but is believed to dip steeply to the west based on mapping and historical work, and thus the intercept is estimated to represent 50-60% of the true width. No intercept was reported that averaged less than 0.4 g/t Au and/or 10.0 g/t Ag and no intercept had more than five consecutive meters of less than 0.2 g/t Au and/or 10 g/t Ag, or began or ended with values less than 0.2 g/t Au and/or 10 g/t Ag.

Gilla Brands Featured on European E-Liquid Kiosk Network

KALISPELL, MT / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2016 / Gilla Inc. (OTCQB: GLLA), a manufacturer and marketer of E-liquid for vaporizers, recently announced the signing of a brand distribution agreement with a French based owner of more than 60 E-liquid dispensing kiosks located in France.

The 60 kiosks are all part of a regulatory compliant network, and will sell the Coil Glaze and Craft Vapes brands of Gilla’s product portfolio. The products will be sold to the distributor in a bulk, zero nicotine format, at which point it will be placed into the kiosks directly in the retail locations.

The kiosks act very much like those new fountain soda machines where you can add in as much syrup as you want, except in this case it is E-Liquid for your vaporizer. Since new European regulations limit the bottle size to 10 ml, the consumer purchases an empty 100+ ml bottle and then purchases a 10 ml neutral flavored nicotine enhancer. The consumer then adds in the amount of enhancer they want (based on desired nicotine levels), they then go to the auto fill pump, choose a flavor, and fill the remainder of the bottle. A good shake is all that is needed to blend the two liquids, and off the customer goes with their own custom blended E-liquid.

It is anticipated that the kiosks will start selling Gilla product by the end of October 2016, and while the press release states that the kiosks will initially only be located in France, Graham Simmonds (CEO and Chairman of Gilla) does state “Gilla granted the Distributor one-year exclusive distribution rights for the Company’s Coil Glaze and Craft Vapes brands for this type of E-liquid dispensing machine in Europe and the UK.” This would suggest that within the next year the kiosks would also be located outside of just France, a good sign of planned expansion.

Kiosks Undergoing Resurgence in Popularity

Kiosks are an attractive way to sell product not only for their reduced cost and efficient service, but also for their ability remember the customer and create customer loyalty. According to Loyalty Guide, 90% of consumers in the US are part of a retail loyalty program. Customer loyalty is something that gradually builds up with time, usually stemming from the initial relationship with a brand. In this case, by marketing the Coil Glaze and Craft Vapes brands, Gilla is increasing awareness across their entire product portfolio.

Any number of industries are incorporating kiosks these days, for example you can’t even talk to an agent at Delta Airlines (NYSE: DAL) unless you have already visited a check-in kiosk. Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), the largest grocery store chain in the US, opened an entirely self-checkout store in 2011. In the E-liquid space, Electronic Cigarettes International (OTCQB: ECIG) opened up their first US based “VIP” kiosk at the FlatIron Crossing Mall in Broomfield, Colorado in January.

Conclusion:

Within the last year, Gilla has managed to sign distribution agreements in The Netherlands, France, The United Kingdom, and China; won awards for it’s Coil Glaze E-liquid on multiple occasions; expanded their product portfolio to 14 brands; posted their first $1 million quarter in revenue, all while increasing gross margins to 62% in Q2 2016.

CanAlaska Announces Summer Drill Program Finished at West Athabasca Diamond Project

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2016 / CanAlaska Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: CVV) (OTCQB: CVVUF) (FSE: DH7N), (“CanAlaska” or the “Company”) has been informed by De Beers Exploration that seven of 11 anomalies originally targeted as accessible for the summer program at the West Athabasca project were drilled, while the remaining four targets have been deferred due to high water levels. All remaining targets will be inaccessible until the winter freeze takes place.

The condensed summer program finished without intersecting kimberlite. De Beers is still receiving and analyzing physical property data from the last hole to better understand the overburden’s physical properties, and geophysical response. All the drill core will be removed from site and transported to De Beers facility in Sudbury for further review and planning.

CanAlaska President Peter Dasler said: “The large number of anomalous geophysical responses, scattered across the 100 kilometre (60 mile) long zone, provides logistical challenges. This coupled with an abnormally wet fall season, has slowed the previous rapid advancement of this project. We look forward to winter freeze, so that site access becomes an easier exercise. We also look forward to the continual systematic testing of the various targets this winter.”

Prophecy Outlines Company Objective, Plans Definition Drilling at Pulacayo and Paca

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2016 / Prophecy Development Corp. (“Prophecy” or the “Company”) (TSX: PCY, OTC: PRPCF, Frankfurt: 1P2N) is pleased to announce the Company’s priority objective at the Pulacayo silver-zinc-lead district project located in southern Bolivia and close to major silver mining projects operated by Coeur Mining Inc. (San Bartolome), Pan American Silver Corp. (San Vicente) and Sumitomo Corporation (San Cristobal). All necessary permits have been obtained in 2013 to mine up to 560 tonnes of ore per day.

The objective is twofold:

Study the possibility of commissioning Pulacayo and/or Paca to production at current metal prices, part of which includes definition drilling; and

Apply modern exploration techniques to the Pulacayo district to test mineralization found during reconnaissance exploration.

In light of this objective, the company is pleased to report the following activities:

1,500 meter Definition Drilling

The program, scheduled to commence in third quarter 2016, aims to increase the confidence level and size of certain resource blocks already identified in the respective Pulacayo and Paca resource estimates disclosed according to National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”)*.

These resource blocks are characterised by elevated grades and relatively easy access, which make them potentially suitable to be mined first should a decision be made to start mining.

The definition drilling program lowers project risk by improving confidence level in the resources and may reassure concentrate off-takers and financiers of the reliability of their internally prepared production and revenue forecasts. 

Proposed drill hole location maps (both plain and cross section for Paca surface drilling and Pulacayo underground drilling) are available at: www.prophecydev.com

District-wide Three Dimensional Induced Polarisation Program (3D IP)

Concurrent with the definition drilling, the Company is initiating a district-wide close-spaced 3D IP geophysical survey program that will use a pole-dipole configuration.  Data interpretation will take advantage of the functionality offered by 3D inversion techniques (resistivity and chargeability) that has been successfully used at Pulacayo before.  The results are expected in approximately 3 months.

The 3D IP surveys will be carried out in the high priority areas of Paca North, Pero and Pacamayo where surface mapping and sampling have identified significant surface anomalies.

A wide-spaced IP program was performed at Pulacayo by Apogee Minerals Ltd. in 2008. Twelve lines were laid out at a 400 meter interval (total 29km) in the Paca, Pero, and Pacamayo areas located in the north and east of the Tajo vein system found in the Pulacayo district.

A detailed presentation about the exploration and maps showing prior sample location and assay results and proposed IP line locations are available on Prophecy’s website.

The results from the detailed 3D IP surveys, the assay results of recent surface and underground sampling, and the prior IP results will be used to identify the most prospective drilling targets. The objective of the 3D IP surveys followed by drilling is to assess the potential of the Pulacayo district for near-surface mineralization.

Update on Other Work

As reported in the news release dated June 16, 2016, Prophecy continued its discussions with concentrate off-takers based on the results of the 2013 Pulacayo trial mining and has received updated concentrate off-take term sheets, possibly reflecting the potential tightening of future zinc-silver and lead-silver concentrate supplies. Some off-takers have prepared their own production and revenue forecasts related to the Pulacayo project based on geological, technical and economic information provided by Prophecy. Prophecy has also received an improved term sheet from a custom milling and processing facility in Potosi, approximately 180km from the Pulacayo project and that is connected by a recently paved highway which is in excellent condition.

The Company continues its study of optimal mining production and processing scenarios and intends to announce a production decision at the conclusion of the study in conjunction with a financing plan should a positive production decision be reached. A positive production decision would not be based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability so would carry increased uncertainty and the risk of failure as to the mining method and profitability.

Qualified Persons

The technical content of this news release and the presentation and maps referred to in this news release were reviewed and approved by Christopher M. Kravits, CPG, LPG, who is a Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101. Mr. Kravits is a consultant to the Company and serves as its Qualified Person and General Mining Manager.

**Tonnes are rounded to nearest 10,000
***Base case resources are those reported at the 300 g/t Ag Eq. cut-off

Inferred resources do not have demonstrated economic viability, are speculative, and are not to be relied upon.

The mineral resource estimate was prepared by Mercator Geological Services Limited (“Mercator”) under the supervision of Michael Cullen, P.Geo., who is an independent Qualified Person as set out in NI 43-101. The Paca mineralization starts from surface, with approximately 95% of the resource existing at the cut-off value of 300 g/t Ag Eq. occurring within 100 metres of surface (refer to the Company’s news release dated September 21, 2015).

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this news release, including statements which may contain words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, or similar expressions, and statements related to matters which are not historical facts, are forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s expectations regarding Prophecy’s future growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, are based on certain factors and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These estimates and assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future events, are subject to change and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by Prophecy. In making forward-looking statements as may be included in this news release, Prophecy has made several assumptions that it believes are appropriate, including, but not limited to assumptions that: there being no significant disruptions affecting operations, such as due to labour disruptions; currency exchange rates being approximately consistent with current levels; certain price assumptions for coal, prices for and availability of fuel, parts and equipment and other key supplies remain consistent with current levels; production forecasts meeting expectations; the accuracy of Prophecy’s current mineral resource estimates; labour and materials costs increasing on a basis consistent with Prophecy’s current expectations; and that any additional required financing will be available on reasonable terms. Prophecy cannot assure you that any of these assumptions will prove to be correct.

Numerous factors could cause Prophecy’s actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including the following risks and uncertainties, which are discussed in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in Prophecy’s most recent Management Discussion and Analysis and Annual Information Form as filed on SEDAR and posted on Prophecy’s website: Prophecy’s history of net losses and lack of foreseeable cash flow; exploration, development and production risks, including risks related to the development of Prophecy’s mineral properties; Prophecy not having a history of profitable mineral production; the uncertainty of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates; the capital and operating costs required to bring Prophecy’s projects into production and the resulting economic returns from its projects; foreign operations and political conditions, including the legal and political risks of operating in Bolivia, which is a developing jurisdiction; amendments to local Bolivian laws which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s operations; title to Prophecy’s mineral properties; environmental risks; the competitive nature of the mining business; lack of infrastructure; Prophecy’s reliance on key personnel; uninsured risks; commodity price fluctuations; reliance on contractors; Prophecy’s need for substantial additional funding and the risk of not securing such funding on reasonable terms or at all; foreign exchange risks; anti-corruption legislation; recent global financial conditions; the payment of dividends; and conflicts of interest.

These factors should be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on Prophecy’s forward-looking statements. Prophecy believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the documents incorporated by reference herein are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. In addition, although Prophecy has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Prophecy undertakes no obligation to release publicly any future revisions to forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this news or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as expressly required by law.
