COEUR D'ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / New Jersey Mining Company (OTCQB:NJMC)(CSE:NJMC) ("NJMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired a strategic land package of approximately 368 acres of patented mining claims having both surface and mineral rights, and situated one mile (1.6 kilometers) west of its Golden Chest Mine.

NJMC's VP of Exploration, Rob Morgan commented, "This land acquisition strategically connects New Jersey's east and west holdings and is the culmination of a lengthy three-year base-building process in which we planned for success and consolidated the Murray Gold Belt (MGB). Along with the adjacent NJMC properties, this private land package provides an exclusive and exciting opportunity for gold exploration as it is underlain by favorable host rocks and is bisected by a gold-mineralizing fault. Additionally, our experience permitting, designing, constructing – and operating the New Jersey Mill on a daily basis – leads us to believe this property may contain terrain suitable for future tailings impoundment and/or a new mill for the Golden Chest Mine or other infrastructure related to mineral processing in the Murray area." Figure 1 shows land ownership within the Murray Gold Belt; note the large positions held by NJMC and Hecla.

The Alder Gulch land was originally patented in the 1880's due to its gold potential and has changed hands only a couple of times since Idaho statehood in 1890. It was held in the same family for nearly 100 years. Since the 1960's at least three campaigns of mineral exploration by major companies have taken place in the Murray Gold Belt. Some of these majors included Newmont, Cominco, Kennecott, ASARCO and Hecla, however none of these companies had access to the closely held Alder Gulch land – thus the land remained largely unexplored for more than a century.

NJMC VP Rob Morgan added, "Our initial review of local geologic features suggests several promising prospects that support the gold potential of this land package. One such prospect is located on the Evans claim where a hydrothermally altered intrusive sill barely outcrops through the gravel cover. The sill contains disseminated pyrite and galena with numerous quartz vein stringers mineralized with chalcopyrite, galena and tellurides. Anomalous mineralization is found not only in the veins and veinlets, but also in the intrusive wallrock and in the surrounding sedimentary Prichard Formation host rocks."

The presence of gold-tellurium mineralization is interesting as NJMC has experience with that type of mineralization from its work on the Toboggan Project (A select sample from this sill assayed 4.75 gpt gold, 15.65 gpt silver, 2.2 % lead and 7.96 ppm tellurium). NJMC believes that the occurrence of tellurium with gold in this sill is important because it indicates a potentially large alkalic intrusive is responsible for the gold mineralization. Another prospect known as the Gold Lady has exposed banded veins that assay from 3.00 to 10.45 gpt gold, similar to those seen at the Golden Chest Mine. The assays above are from select grab samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

Figure 1. Land Ownership in the Murray Gold Belt

In addition to ownership challenges, historic exploration for gold vein lode deposits on the Alder Gulch land has been hampered due to a majority of the property's bedrock being covered by a veneer of river gravels from an ancient stream. This old stream channel of auriferous gravels, and the original justification for granting of the patent, crosses the Alder Gulch land from the northeast to the southwest. Vein systems and north-south trending faults, like the aforementioned Murray Peak Fault, extend under this ancient stream channel from both sides. Mineralization on the NJMC-controlled Buckskin patented claims appears to extend south under the gravels of the newly purchased lands based on historical and recent observations. Similarly, the gold-telluride bearing sill on the Evans extends north and disappears under gravel cover. The application of modern geophysical exploration methods, especially magnetics, should reveal more information on the rocks and fault structures beneath the gravels and help target future drill programs.

Qualified person

NJMC's Vice President of Exploration, Robert John Morgan, PG, PLS is a qualified person as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information and data included in this press release.

No PEA, PF or FS has been completed to verify the economic viability or technical feasibility regarding any new construction of future tailings impoundment, a new mill or other infrastructure related to mineral processing in the Murray area.

In order to raise the funds required to complete the acquisition, the Company has issued secured convertible promissory notes (the "Notes") with an aggregate principal amount of US$885,000.00. The outstanding principal amount of the Notes will bear interest at an annual rate of 8.0% for a term of three years. The principal amount of the Notes will be convertible at the option of the investors for common shares of the Company at a price of US$0.18 for per common share prior to the maturity date of the Notes. Interest only payments shall be made on the Notes payable and the Company may prepay the Notes in whole or in part without written consent of the investors.

Other Corporate Activities

The Company is seeking to amend the terms of 375,000 warrants issued in connection with a private placement completed in December 2018 such that the exercise price of the warrants will be expressed in US currency at US$$0.18. Management and the Board have determined that for purposes of US GAAP it is preferable for the Company to have the exercise prices for its warrants to be expressed in US dollars.

About New Jersey Mining Company

New Jersey Mining Company is headquartered in North Idaho, where it is producing gold at its Golden Chest Mine. Gold was first discovered in the Murray Gold Belt in 1882, but by 1888 mining declined as the center of activity and demand for labor shifted to the Silver Valley following the discovery of the Bunker Hill, Sunshine, Lucky Friday, and other iconic regional mines. The rebirth of the long-forgotten Murray Gold Belt has been led by NJMC, as evidenced by production from open-pit and underground operations at the Golden Chest Mine, its extensive land package and superior knowledge of the district gained from current development and production, and ongoing exploration activities.

NJMC has established a high-quality, early to advanced-stage asset base in three historic mining districts of Idaho and Montana, which includes the currently producing Golden Chest Mine. The Company's objective is to use its considerable in-house skill sets to build a portfolio of mining and milling operations, with a longer-term vision of becoming a mid-tier producer. Management is shareholder focused and owns more than 15-percent of NJMC stock.

The Company's common stock trades on the OTC-QB and the CSE Market under the symbol "NJMC."

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / CANEX Metals Inc. ("CANEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results for 41 rock samples and 15 reconnaissance soil samples taken in December 2019 at the Gold Range Property, Arizona.

Highlights from the Sampling Program

Multiple chip samples returned high grade gold including 24.3 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and 25.4 g/t gold over 1 metre.
Chip sampling has confirmed high grade gold mineralization within veins over a large area as previously indicated by grab samples.
Resampling the main vein in Trench 2 using large sample size and metallic screen method has resulted in an increase in gold grade from 2.33 g/t over 2 metres to 16.56 g/t over 2 metres.
Reconnaissance soil sampling has confirmed the large gold in soil anomaly previously identified in Grid 1 at the Central Zone.

Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company stated, "We are very pleased to see our recent rock and soil assays returning strong gold grades over a widespread area. We have multiple exploration targets being assembled from a combination of surface sampling, high resolution geophysics, and geological data sets. Field work is currently in progress at Gold Range and we look forward to advancing a number of potential drill targets as field work progresses over the next several weeks".

Rock Samples

A total of 41 rock samples (34 chips and 7 grabs) were taken from the Central, East, Shaft/Shear, and Adit Zones during the December sampling program. Gold results from all 41 samples, including unmineralized wall rock, range from 0.03 to 25.40 g/t, averaging 4.15 g/t. In total 367 chip and grab samples have been taking from the property, including mineralized veins and barren wall rock, and have returned trace to 94.67 g/t gold, averaging 4.40 g/t.

High grade chip samples have been encountered in all the zones sampled confirming the presence of high grade gold mineralization over a large area as initially demonstrated by grab samples. Most of these high grade zones of mineralization are poorly exposed and will require further surface work, possibly including trenching and drilling to fully evaluate.

*All grab and chip samples reported here were taken by CANEX personnel with all chip samples taken perpendicular to the strike of the structures sampled. Grab samples are selective in nature and are not necessarily representative of mineralization on the property. See QAQC section below for assay methods.

Resampling Trench 2 and Metallic Screens

During the December sampling program a portion of the exposed quartz vein in Trench 2 was resampled utilizing a larger sample size and re-assayed for gold using a metallic screen method. The larger sample size and metallic screen method resulted in significantly higher gold values than those initially reported. The original result for the intervals (samples 546163 and 164) were reported in the Company's news release dated December 3, 2019 and returned 2.33 g/t Au over 2 metres (weighted average of both samples). New composite results utilizing a larger sample size with gold analyzed by the metallic screen method returned 16.56 g/t Au over 2 metres for the same interval. The high-grade results correspond well with previously released chip samples taken along strike 5 metres to the northwest (18.5 g/t over 1.8 metres, samples 5677539 and 540) and 5 metres along strike to the southeast (6.0 g/t gold over 1.7 metres, samples 5677533 and 535).

*All samples are 1 metre chip samples from a mineralized quartz vein exposed in Trench 2.

These results demonstrate the importance of taking large samples in this system which contains coarse gold. The metallic screen method is commonly utilized when coarse gold is present and allows larger sample pulp sizes to be processed for assay. CANEX will take this into account when planning future sampling and drill programs.

Soil Samples

A 15 sample reconnaissance soil line was run over a portion of the Central Zone to help evaluate a mostly covered area containing known but poorly exposed gold veins. Gold in soil results ranged from below detection (<3 parts per billion (ppb)) to 53 ppb and included a 65 metre wide zone of anomalous gold values ranging from 16 to 53 ppb gold, averaging 39 ppb gold. This reconnaissance soil line overlaps and confirms the gold in soil anomaly identified in soil Grid 1 (previously released see January 27, 2020 news release).

Exploration Update

High resolution drone magnetic surveying has been completed over 2 key target areas on the Gold Range Project, the Pit Zone and the Central Zone. The survey results have recently been received and are currently being evaluated and interpreted.

Two field crews are currently on-site conducting field programs. One is focused on geologic mapping, sampling, and prospecting, and the second is conducting a minimum 734 sample soil program. Geologic fieldwork is focused on advancing and mapping known gold bearing zones, prospecting and sampling new targets, as well as ground truthing and tracing key geophysical and structural targets. The soil program is focused on expanding and defining recently identified gold in soil anomalies immediately north of the Pit Zone and at the Central Zone. In addition, several reconnaissance soil lines will be run over key target areas in the southern and central parts of the claim block to assess the potential for additional zones of mineralization in those areas.

The Company has filed an amended exploration permit application with the Bureau of Land Management to allow for an expanded trenching and drilling program to include several new targets recently identified on the property. Once the amended permit has been received and all current field program results are in, a second trenching program will be planned.

Quality Control

The soil and rock samples reported in this release were taken by CANEX representatives and shipped to American Assay Laboratories in Reno, Nevada (which is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited) for analyses. Gold was assayed using a 30g fire assay (method FA-PB30-ICP) with all gold samples greater than 10 g/t redone using a 30g fire assay method with a gravimetric finish (method GRAVAu30). Duplicates, blanks, and certified standards are analyzed with every sample batch and then checked to ensure proper quality assurance and quality control. Select samples were analyzed using a metallic screen procedure where the entire sample is crushed and 1 kilogram of material is pulverized and screened at 150 mesh. The oversized and undersized fractions are analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish and weighed and the total gold concentration in the sample is calculated. The metallic screen procedure can help provide reliable results in samples containing coarse gold.

About the Gold Range Property

The Gold Range Property is located in Northern Arizona within an area that has seen historic lode and placer gold production but limited systematic modern lode gold exploration. Fieldwork by the Company has identified numerous gold exploration targets on the property with grab samples from outcropping quartz veins returning multiple values in the 20 to 40 g/t gold range, and chip sampling returning values of 31.7 g/t gold over 1 metre, 24.3 g/t gold over 1.5 metres, 28.1 g/t gold over 1 metre, 17.2 g/t over 1.1 metre, and 8.47 g/t gold over 5.6 metres.

Arria's Natural Language Generation (NLG) technology poised to profoundly impact their ability to turn vast amounts of data into real-time actionable intelligence

MORRISTOWN, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / Arria NLG, the world's leading provider of NLG technology, and Pathfinder Solutions Group (PSG), announce a partnership which establishes PSG as Arria's selected partner for offering its NLG capabilities to US Department of Defense and Government agencies.

With Arria's NLG technology already proven in crucial business areas, such as regulatory financial reporting, sensor data analysis and business intelligence, its entrance into the cyber and operational intelligence fields is seen as a significant development in the military's and government's ability to deliver real-time actionable intelligence.

The Military's Data Challenge

The military wants to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into operational missions. However, the challenge is: dirty, unstructured, and voluminous data that creates bottlenecks and missed insights-without an effective and efficient way to analyze it. Cyber threat intelligence is particularly challenging.

Current gaps in information analysis result in suboptimal decisions with potential detrimental impacts. Speed to decisions is critical when reacting to high-value targets and cyber threats. Data analysis-the ability to interpret and understand the data, get it into a useable format, and mine the data for hidden insights, continues to be a challenge-especially in warfighting situations.

Other agencies, such as Homeland Security, the NSA, FBI and CIA face similar challenges.

Arria's NLG Solution: Real-Time Actionable Intelligence

Arria NLG creates analysis reports that transform data output (including dashboard charts, graphs, tables) into comprehensive narratives that provide the warfighter or government agent with timely, relevant and actionable intelligence resulting in better operational decisions in both cyber and operational domains.

Arria NLG's platform dramatically improves time from analysis to insights to decision by expressing complex data and information in real-time, insightful narratives-making big data…smart data.

The expert narratives produced by Arria's breakthrough NLG technology ensure critical facts and insights are presented in a more comprehensive and understandable way, as if written by a team of the best subject matter expert analysts. These reports can be detailed and able to break the data down in multiple ways, or they can be simple, concise, actionable one-page decision brief for commanders or agency chiefs.

The real-time reporting generated by Arria NLG ensures that critical facts and insights are clearly articulated and can be customized based on the threat intelligence and the mission.

According to Lt. General Brooks Bash, US Air Force Retired, Co-Founder and Director, Pathfinder Solutions Group, "As a senior Air Force leader, I was often faced with making decisions without a full analysis of available intelligence. With Arria NLG, leaders now have the capability to aggregate, in real-time, vast amounts of AI and analyst-generated information into actionable intelligence, which is especially relevant for time-critical decisions in cyber and aerospace arenas. Being able to deploy these types of dual-use, off-the-shelf technologies to meet key AI requirements is one of the primary reasons I am so excited about the Pathfinder Solutions Group and Arria NLG partnership."

Sharon Daniels, CEO, Arria NLG, stated, "We're very pleased that our NLG technology can now be used in the defense of freedom. By turning complex information and structured data into comprehensive, actionable narratives in a fraction of the time that teams of analysts are capable of, we're able to ensure that critical facts and insights are clearly articulated, and almost instantly available, based on the threat intelligence and the mission."

Flexible, Seamless Integrations

Arria NLG's API-based architecture enables flexible, seamless integrations with existing military and government workflows. Arria's NLG platform is customizable and integrates seamlessly with existing commercial business intelligence (BI) and proprietary dashboards to provide insightful advanced analytics and reports. Current software and platforms do not need to be replaced as Arria's NLG technology layers on top of existing capabilities.

Arria is the world's most advanced NLG technology. It combines advanced analytics with advanced computational linguistics to automate reporting at a level equal to, or better than, subject matter experts-only infinitely faster. It also adds a degree of scalability and operational efficiency not previously attainable.

The Pathfinder Agreement

Per their partnership agreement, Pathfinder will be representing and offering Arria's breakthrough NLG technology to the following:

US Government Agencies-All Applications: Department of Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force, USMC), Coast Guard, Army Futures Command, AFWERX, Army Applications Lab, and Naval Information Warfare Centers.

US Government Agencies-Cybersecurity and Intelligence: NSA, CIA, FBI, and Dept. of Homeland Security.

US Government Allies: a select group of US-allied government agencies and instrumentalities.

State Agencies: The New York City Cybercommand, The New York City Police Department and The New York City Fire Department.

Pathfinder's Unique Team of Experts

About the Jewel Ridge Property

The property comprises 96 unpatented lode mining claims and 30 patented claims covering approximately 728 hectares (1,800 acres). The Jewel Ridge property contains several historic small gold mines which align along a north-south-trending stratigraphic contact of Lower Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, as well as several other gold mineralized zones with a variety of structural and lithological controls. The Company's focus is on Carlin-style disseminated gold deposits, the primary focus in the area since the late 1970s.

SECURE Act gives investors more time to invest and save for retirement and as such Gold IRAs are gaining momentum in 2020

WOODLAND HILLS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / April 15th is not only the tax filing deadline but is also the last day for individuals to contribute to their IRAs for the 2019 tax year. In advance of the upcoming tax season,Allegiance Gold's CEO, Mark Naaman, highlights recent changes to retirement systems and how investing in gold IRAs could have additional tax benefits.

It's recommended that individuals maximize their IRA contributions. For individuals over the age of 50, the contribution limit for Traditional and Roth IRAs is $7,000; for those under the age of 50, the limit is $6,000. Traditional IRAs are tax-deductible on both state and federal returns. Roth IRAs are not tax-deductible and, therefore, will not lessen adjusted gross income for 2019.

Signed into law on December 20, 2019, and considered one of the most significant reforms to retirement legislation in more than a decade, the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act aims to make it easier for businesses to offer retirement plans and for individuals to save for retirement. Some key provisions of the SECURE Act that went into effect on January 1, 2020 include the following:

Distribution Age Is Raised To 72

"Before the SECURE Act went into effect, individuals with IRA and 401(k) accounts had to start making required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their retirement accounts once they turned 70 ½," said Naaman. "But the SECURE Act changed that by raising the minimum age to 72, basically adding on an extra year-and-a-half before RMDs are permitted."

Age Limit For Contributions Is Eliminated

"Previously, you were prohibited from contributing to a Traditional IRA using pre-tax dollars if you were over the age of 70 ½, although you could still make post-tax contributions to a Roth IRA. The SECURE Act changed that by eliminating the age limits on contributions to Traditional IRAs, which allows older workers to continue contributing pre-tax dollars from their paychecks to their IRA accounts," said Naaman.

Changes To Inherited And Stretch IRAs

"Stretch IRAs used to allow individuals who inherited an IRA to ‘stretch out' distributions over their lifetimes. For example, if you die at age 85 and leave your IRA to your 55-year-old son, he could withdraw money from that IRA over the course of his lifetime," explained Naaman.

"The new laws under the SECURE Act, however, require all non-spouse inheritors of IRAs to distribute the assets from their inherited IRAs within 10 years. This could cause a huge tax hit to children inheriting their parents' retirement accounts. It's also significant to note that we are on the cusp of the largest generational wealth transfer in US history, as an estimated $68 trillion will change hands in the U.S. from baby boomers to the next generation."

Gold IRAs are gaining momentum in 2020

"Commodities like gold and other precious metals have historically remained stable in the face of stock market volatility, currency devaluation and failing real estate prices," said Alex Ebkarian, COO of Allegiance Gold. "In fact, over the last two decades, gold has outperformed the stock market."

"This year is expected to be another year of significant uncertainty and geopolitical turmoil. There could also be quite a bit of market volatility ahead of the U.S. presidential elections. In a late cycle environment, the outlook for gold tends to shine bright. I think the odds for an insurance-type event are fairly high in 2020, which fits naturally with gold's traditional role as an insurance asset."

"This is why a Gold or precious metals IRA should be part of every individuals' investment portfolio. A Gold IRA, whether Traditional, Roth, or SEP, not only diversifies a portfolio on a tax-deferred basis, but also protects against predictable and unforeseen market corrections."

"Precious Metals IRAs have a significant tax benefit" noted Ebkarian. "Precious metal IRAs are portable and mobile, while a standard IRA is not. In addition to the standard monetary distributions, investors with a precious metal IRA can take an in-kind distribution which allows them to physically hold the asset. In so doing, distribution rules are satisfied without "selling the position" and a lower tax-basis valuation is realized. On the other hand, paper investments force investors "to sell the position" when taken as an in-kind distribution, unnecessarily exposing them to potentially unfavorable market conditions."

VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2020 / Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (NASDAQ:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, announced today that it continues to execute against its planned 10 megawatt (MW) long-term microturbine rental business with the deployment of a C600 Signature Series microturbine in the Permian Basin with a repeat customer and one of the world's largest oil and gas companies. The new long-term rental was secured by Lone Star Power Solutions (www.lonestarpowersolutions.com), Capstone's exclusive distributor in Arizona, Texas, and the Gulf states.

The C600S long-term rental order increases Capstone's existing microturbine rental fleet from 7.0 MW to 7.6 MWs, and the company continues to expand the current factory long-term rental fleet to a target of 10 MW, as part of management's focus to achieve sustainable positive Adjusted EBITDA in the June 2020 quarter and beyond.

Capstone microturbines align perfectly with the needs of the oil and gas industry and are currently used in all phases of oil production, including upstream, midstream, and downstream operations in both onshore and offshore applications. Capstone long-term rentals provide oil and gas customers low operational cost, high availability, and high reliability.

"The demonstrated performance of Capstone Turbine products has proven to be an integral part of our customer's operational requirements," said Doug Demaret, President of Lone Star Power Solutions. "Capstone products allow Lone Star Power to provide its customers with 100% uptime, low emissions, and infrequent service visits, allowing our customers to focus on their core energy business," added Mr. Demaret.

With the instability in the global oil markets, the demand for rental units continues to grow as oil and gas companies look to conserve capital and focus on increasing free cash flow. Capstone is experiencing increased demand globally for long-term rental units, a trend the company expects to continue through 2020 and beyond.

"Developing a 10 MW long-term rental fleet is a critical component of management's plan to achieve not only positive Adjusted EBITDA in the June 2020 quarter, but the long-term high margin source of revenue is critical to enable us the opportunity to sustain positive Adjusted EBITDA beyond our June target," said Darren Jamison, President and Chief Executive Officer at Capstone Turbine. "The continued growth of our long-term rentals, long-term service contracts and expanded lower cost spare parts remanufacturing program are significant drivers of future margin expansion," concluded Mr. Jamison.
