Partnership Provides Unified Solution for the Protection of Healthcare Organizations’ Information Assets on Microsoft Azure

CROFTON, MD / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2018 / XentIT today announced its cloud security offering in partnership with Trend Micro and Qualys, the Healthcare Cloud Security Stack (HCSS) for Microsoft Azure. The solution provides a unified dashboard that combines vulnerability information from Qualys and the appropriate protection capabilities from Trend Micro. Combining the implementation and management capabilities of XentIT with the unified dashboard for vulnerability detection and response, this new offering allows healthcare entities to build security into their data-driven healthcare decision-making applications as they migrate workloads to the cloud.

This cloud security solution ensures all workloads running in Azure are constantly protected without the need to manually correlate vulnerabilities and protections, and it enables healthcare organizations to support the shared security responsibility model of the cloud.

“XentIT is excited to be a strategic partner of Qualys and Trend Micro on this initiative—helping healthcare entities modernize their IT infrastructure through unified solutions while maintaining focus on cybersecurity and HIPAA compliance,” said Tariq Alvi, CEO of XentIT. “Healthcare organizations are making the shift to the cloud to enable better health outcomes, and a critical part of that process is ensuring security and vulnerability management, which XentIT can deliver via the HCSS.”

HCSS for Azure uses Qualys Vulnerability Management and Cloud Agent to continuously detect vulnerabilities across Azure cloud workloads with Six Sigma accuracy. Within the XentIT dashboard, the vulnerabilities detected by Qualys are linked to Trend Micro Deep Security protections, allowing healthcare entities to leverage the dashboard as a unified cloud threat management console. There they can enable specific protections based on the presence of a vulnerability and the specific data of the asset. The dashboard displays vulnerabilities detected by Qualys and identifies the number and types of threats blocked by Trend Micro, and it provides intelligence for further investigation and remediation by security analysts and engineers. This ensures all Azure cloud workloads are properly protected.

“Moving to the cloud has become essential to healthcare organizations in order to remain competitive and provide better services, and securing this journey is paramount,” said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO, Qualys. “We’re thrilled to work with XentIT and Trend Micro on this front.”

“We realize the unique security needs of the healthcare industry, ranging from protecting personally identifiable information and medical devices,” said Sanjay Mehta, SVP, Business Development & Strategic Alliances, Trend Micro. “We are proud to work with Microsoft and their partner ecosystem to help organizations secure and migrate their most critical data in the cloud.”

CARLSBAD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2018 / OPTEC International, Inc., (OTCQB: OPTI) today announced the Company has launched the Fleet & Heavy-Duty Trucking Division Fuel Maximizer Technology.

OPTEC International, Inc. the exclusive worldwide distributor of the OPTEC Fuel Maximizer, has now launched its Fleet and Heavy-Duty trucking division. The OPTEC Fuel Maximizer is an advanced hydrogen fuel cell technology that dramatically reduces emissions, enhances vehicle performance and throttle response, and maximizes mpg potential. The on-demand technology is designed for modern, computer-controlled gasoline and diesel engines and works on almost all internal combustion engines.

Third party testing has revealed fuel savings anywhere from 5-10% for Heavy Duty Trucks, Transportation Refrigeration Units, generators, and off-road equipment. Tests have shown an average of 10-20% fuel savings for passenger vehicles depending on the year, make and model. To support performance claims and product safety, OPTEC has gone through rigorous third-party, controlled environment testing at California Environmental Engineering, CERT UC Riverside, Mesilla Valley Transportation Solutions, Olson-Ecologic, UL, SAE J1321 testing and has obtained a CARB Executive Order Exemption for various engines.

The OPTEC Fuel Maximizer currently is 49 state legal for Heavy Duty Trucks. However, the new fleet division launch comes at an exciting time as we await pending emission testing results for a CARB Executive Order Exemption for the legal sale in California of the OPTEC Technology for these engines. Upon favorable results, we expect the OPTEC Fuel Maximizer to be available in California to all 2010-2018 Heavy Duty Trucks by the end of next month. OPTEC is also further testing with Mesilla Valley Transportation Solutions this month to expand our fuel savings certification to cover the Heavy-Duty Diesel Trucks.

It has been important to us as a company to make research and development a priority and take the extra steps to provide the data on the OPTEC technology’s capabilities. With tightening emission standards and a demand to save on fuel costs rising, we feel the OPTEC Fuel Maximizer is a solution for fleets to meet these demands.

The announcement is published as an introduction to the Logistics industry in the current edition of Transport Topics, a leading magazine in the transportation industry on page A9.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2018 / MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX” or the “Company”) (CSE: XMG; FKT: 1MG; OTCQB: MGXMF) is pleased to announce it has received notice from the Chilean state agency National Geology and Mining Service (“SERNAGEOMIN”) that the Company will be approved to carry out a 6-hole drill program at the Francisco Basin lithium project (“Francisco Basin” or the “Project”) located 30 kilometers south of Salar de Maricunga. MGX has also received a positive response from the Environmental Assessment Service (“SEA”) and does not expect that an environmental impact assessment will be required in order to carry out these exploration activities on the Project.

MGX and its Chilean joint venture partners continue to work with SRK Consulting Inc. (U.S.) to complete a definitive exploration program for the Francisco Basin lithium project. The Project lease area comprises 12,900 hectares and reconnaissance brine sampling in January 2018 confirmed the presence of lithium enrichment in surface brines. An electromagnetic geophysical survey was completed in April 2018 and results indicated strong potential for the presence of two highly conductive brines zones where significant thickness and horizontal coverage may exist. In May 2018 additional samples were taken near the southern shore of the surface and sent to Servicios Quimicos Ltda. (“SERQUIM”) in Antofagasta, Chile, for content analysis. Results reported to date are shown in Table 1 below.

The Francisco Basin salar resides within a large, fault-bound, alluvium-filled basin to the immediate south of the Copiapó Volcano. The basin is closed, drains a large area and the salar appears to be the lowest point within the drainage. The rocks in the drainage surrounding this salar are dominantly volcanic, ranging in age from Eocene to Miocene, juxtaposed with some older rocks. To the west is a Cretaceous sedimentary sequence separated from the volcanic rocks of the Francisco Basin area by the Cerro Guerrita Fault. To the east, an older Oligocene to Miocene volcanic sequence is overlain by the Copiapó volcanic rocks. The Francisco Basin alluvial basin sits at the junction of three catchments. These river systems presumably provide the fill for the basin and are in part, along with the limits of the salar, structurally controlled. The alluvial fill may be covering post-Copiapó aged faulting.

About MGX’s Chilean Lithium Joint Venture

MGX is earning a 50% interest in Chilean Lithium Salars SpA (“CLS”). CLS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chilean Lithium Salars Holdings Ltd. (“CLSH”) and holds a 100% interest in three prospective lithium exploration projects located in Chile, including the Francisco Basin, Laguna Brava and Laguna Escondida lithium projects (the “Projects”). To acquire an undivided 50% interest in CLS, MGX has agreed to make Option Payments totaling US $1.5 million, incur exploration expenditures totaling US $2 million, and complete an NI 43-101 resource estimate on at least one of the Projects within 20 months. MGX is acting as project operator and has appointed Mr. Aldo Boitano, current project manager for CLS, as project manager to work alongside Kura Minerals. MGX maintains the right to participate as a service provider of the engineering, construction and/or procurement of a brine processing plant using its rapid lithium extraction technology.

Rapid Lithium Brine Extraction Technology

MGX has developed a rapid lithium extraction technology that reduces the capital cost of recovery compared to traditional solar evaporation as it does not require the investment in large, multi-phase, lake sized, lined evaporation ponds, greatly reducing the physical footprint and enhancing the quality of extraction and recovery across a complex range of brines previously considered un-processable due to complexity or geographical location outside of solar evaporation appropriate zones. This includes oil and gas wastewater, natural brine, and other brine sources such as lithium-rich mine and industrial plant wastewater. The technology was recently chosen as winner of the Base and Specialty Metals Industry Leadership Award at the 2018 S&P Global Platts Global Metals Awards, held in London earlier this month (see press release dated May 18, 2018).

COEUR D’ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2018 / Timberline Resources Corporation (OTCQB: TLRS; TSX-V: TBR)(“Timberline” or the “Company”) today announced results for the first hole drilled at its Elder Creek porphyry copper-gold project in the Battle Mountain Mining District of Nevada.

Reverse circulation (RC) drill hole RCEC18-01 (Figure 1) intersected 110 feet (34 meters) of 0.44% copper. The entire 500 foot (152 meters) hole averaged 0.21% copper, and bottomed in mineralization at 500 feet due to depth limitations of the rig (Table 1). It contains multiple intervals of anomalous gold, silver, and pathfinder elements. The hole was designed to test the grade and continuity of mineralization intersected in five shallow vertical holes drilled in 1967 when copper prices were $0.38/lb. These holes intersected continuous copper mineralization grading 0.2% to 0.3% from surface to their maximum depths of 200 to 300 feet.

Steven Osterberg, Timberline’s President and CEO commented, “We are encouraged that our first drill hole at Elder Creek intersected a thick and consistently mineralized section of copper mineralization. The results confirm discovery of a large porphyry copper-gold system resulting from purposeful compilation and insightful interpretation of fifty years of exploration data. The results are similar to the historic drilling in copper oxide mineralization, and show anomalous multi-trace element signatures consistent with such a system. The mineralization remains open laterally and at depth.”

Hole RCEC18-01 Assay Results

RCEC18-01 was collared in heterolithic breccia of the Harmony Formation, and also intercepted oxidized arkosic quartzite, and a quartz-bearing porphyritic intrusion with strong potassic (biotite) and silica alteration over its 500 foot (152 meters) depth. The hole was sited within a zone of porphyry-style quartz veining (Figure 1), and over a strong magnetic donut encircling a non-magnetic core to the system (Figure 2); no indicators have been recognized in the drilling results to explain the strong magnetic signature, which suggests a deeper source.

Assay results in RCEC18-01 are summarized as follows (Table 1):

Figure 1. Geology, Alteration, and Copper Geochemistry of the Elder Creek Porphyry Copper-Gold Prospect

A diamond core drill rig has been mobilized to deepen the second drill hole of the program (RCEC18-02) which was terminated at 840 feet (256 m) due to depth limitations of the reverse circulation rig. The hole is targeted to test a flat-lying chargeability/resistivity (IP/Resistivity) anomaly identified in historic data. Encouragingly, to date the hole has intercepted intensely altered (biotite and silica) quartz ± feldspar porphyritic intrusive rocks, and Harmony Formation quartzite. Assays results are pending.

Figure 2. Elder Creek Airborne Total Field Magnetics with Alteration Zoning

The Elder Creek copper/gold system lies approximately 11 miles (18 km) north of Newmont’s Phoenix mining complex. Exploration data compiled from over 40-plus years of exploration on the property includes only limited shallow, historic drilling in the pronounced magnetic low, and only shallow drilling along the north and northeastern magnetic zone targeted primarily at gold. Geologic and geophysical characteristics, and rock geochemical sampling results evident at Elder Creek (see press release dated June 18, 2018 at http://timberlineresources.co/press-releases/) are common to major porphyry copper deposits.

Timberline has the right to acquire a 65% interest in the 16 square mile (41 km2) property by spending US$5.1 million over 6 years through an earn-in joint venture agreement with McEwen Mining Inc. (see new release dated May 24, 2018 at http://timberlineresources.co/press-releases/).

Further technical details of the Company’s Elder Creek project may be viewed at: http://timberlineresources.co/projects/ElderCreek/.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance

Collection of Reverse Circulation percussion drill samples was completed under the supervision of a Company representative. Quality control is monitored by the insertion of numerous blind certified standard reference materials and blanks into each sample shipment. The samples were collected on-site by ALS USA Inc. (ALS) and were transported to Elko, Nevada for sample preparation. Drill samples were assayed by ALS in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge with an AA finish (ALS code Au-AA23). Samples were also assayed for a 48 multi-element four acid ICP-MS (code ME-MS61) geochemical suite in Vancouver, B.C.

Steven Osterberg, Ph.D., P.G., Timberline’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this release. Mr. Osterberg is not considered independent of the Company as defined in Section 1.5 of NI 43-101. Drill intercepts are reported as drill thicknesses; true widths of intercepts are unknown.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2018 / Black Sea Copper & Gold Corp. (TSX-V: BLS), (OTCQB: BLSSF) (“Black Sea” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received its exploration and prospecting license from the Ministry of Energy for its 100% owned Zlatusha project.

Figure 1 – Zlatusha exploration permit regional position and the porphyry/epithermal targets within it.

“Black Sea has been in discussions with multiple parties as potential partners for its projects in Bulgaria, and the issuance of the Zlatusha License will allow us to move forward more aggressively with that strategy,” stated Vince Sorace, President and CEO of Black Sea Copper & Gold Corp. “As mentioned previously, Black Sea has been and will continue to evaluate more advanced stage projects for potential acquisition and will be selective in ultimately pursuing the opportunities we believe will return the highest shareholder value.”

Zlatusha Project Overview

The Zlatusha license area (195 km2) lies within an emerging porphyry copper-gold/epithermal belt located northwest of Sofia, in the Western Srednogorie segment of the Banat-Timok-Srednogorie magmatic arc (Fig. 1). The project opportunity was identified by Black Sea in July 2013 after launching a detailed exploration campaign involving data acquisition, regional targeting and subsequent reconnaissance field exploration programs focused on porphyry copper-gold and epithermal gold targets throughout Bulgaria. The Zlatusha project was selected for license application based on the presence of favourable age and composition Cretaceous arc magmatic rocks, magmatic-hydrothermal mineral occurrences, and the presence of several magmatic-hydrothermal centers with outcropping copper-gold mineralization.

Geological Setting

The project area is underlain by Upper Cretaceous andesite volcanic rocks, Cretaceous carbonate and clastic sedimentary rocks, which are intruded by diorite porphyry stocks and dikes. The geological setting of these highly prospective rocks is the same as the Timok Magmatic complex located 95 kilometres to the northwest in eastern Serbia that hosts the world class Bor, Majdanpek and Chucaru Peki deposits, and the Panagyurishte ore field located 65 kilometres to the east in Bulgaria hosting the world class Chelopech, Elatsite and Asarel deposits (Fig.1).

Mineralization and Alteration

Multiple porphyry-related alteration zones, characterized by intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration and associated biotite altered diorite porphyry, are present at Zlatusha. Outcrops of quartz vein stockwork with chalcopyrite mineralization cutting biotite altered diorite porphyry have also been identified on the property.

Zlatusha Target Areas

The exploration program conducted to date by Black Sea has improved the understanding of the known target areas, and has yielded multiple additional target areas. The target areas shown in Figure 1 are based on alteration/sulphide/oxide zones in conjunction with anomalous copper and gold.

Property-wide mapping indicates that host rocks for the magmatic-hydrothermal alteration centers are andesite flows, breccias and tuffs with local intercalated limestone intervals. These rocks are intruded by diorite to quartz monzonite porphyry intrusions. Exposed portions of the alteration zones indicate footprints varying in size, with the largest up to 2500 metres by 1200 metres. Alteration zones are typically developed in the vicinity of the porphyry intrusions, and are characterized by silica-sericite-clay assemblages with local development of secondary biotite and skarn in addition to vein stockworks. Distal alteration assemblages which flank the core zones are commonly characterized by chlorite/epidote in andesite host rocks, or marble in limestone host rocks. Primary sulfides associated with the alteration footprints (typically pyrite with local chalcopyrite) are generally weakly oxidized, and occur as disseminated zones and/or in stockwork-style fracture networks. Copper oxides are noted in various locales throughout the property. The field mapping and analytical data demonstrate that the productive porphyry environment has been preserved at multiple locations across the Zlatusha property.

Qualified Person. Rory Kutluoglu, B.Sc. P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has read and approved all technical and scientific information contained in this news release. Mr. Kutluoglu is the Company’s Vice President Exploration.
