EnerDynamic Updates Ghana UNOPS Solar Project

NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp. (TSXV:EHT) ("EHT") is pleased to provide an update on its Ghana UNOPS Solar Contract.

As we previously announced, we scheduled a meeting on our last trip to Ghana with SHS Sustainable Housing ("SHS"), which is partnered with the UNOPS for the 100,000-housing project in Ghana. At the meeting with the SHS Director, we discussed the contract we have with the Ministry of Housing and our Enertec Solar Solution that will be utilized and the benefit thereof to SHS.

While the UNOPS project is running about 8 months behind schedule, since the first site chosen did not meet all the requirements and a new site had to be secured, both SHS and EHT agreed that now is the time to initiate the process to have EHT be officially included on the SHS project list of suppliers. Since EHT CEO's return from Ghana, we have now assembled and filed all the documents required by the UNOPS program with SHS for EHT to become a supplier to the project and receive all the final drawings required to supply the ENERTEC Solar System thereto.

We anticipate we will have all the requisite housing drawings etc. in the next few weeks and will then be in a position to move forward with the contract to start the necessary supply in Q4 of 2020. We will continue to update the market as we move forward with this order.

The UNOPS order is part of the Government of Ghana's Building of Social Green Housing initiative that is at the forefront of the Government's Solar program and one of its priority governmental infrastructure projects.

John Gamble, CEO of EHT, commented that "We are pleased to move this project ahead, as we know projects in other countries take longer than originally planned. EHT is well positioned now in Ghana to move ahead with this and our other projects and will continue to look for other opportunities there as they present themselves."

About EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies

EHT delivers proprietary, turn-key energy solutions which are intelligent, bankable and sustainable. EHT's expertise includes the development of its ENERTEC module structures with full integration of smart energy solutions. Using a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger than traditional wood or steel structural insulated panels, EHT provides exceptional thermal energy efficiency in modular homes, cold storage facilities, residential/commercial out buildings and emergency/temporary shelters. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. In addition to traditional support to established electrical networks, ENERTEC buildings excel where no electrical grid exists.

About ENERTEC

The EHT advanced ENERTEC Modular Wall and Roof System uses a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger and more energy efficient than traditional wood or steel structures providing the highest ratings for energy efficiency. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. After installation, each structure can be furnished and finished to meet the customer's requirements including siding, tile, kitchens and bathrooms or segregated commercial rooms. The finished wall product can be shipped on pallets and delivered via rail, truck or water in standard formats.

At the core of the ENERTEC product line is the ENERTEC Embedded Solar Roof Module. Solar cells can be embedded in a proprietary fire proof skin resulting in substantial cost savings by eliminating heavy glass panels and aluminum racking required for traditional solar panels. Two barriers to greater adoption of solar energy are weight limitations of the roof on which solar panels could be deployed and onerous shipping and labour costs. A lighter product at a better price point will open a larger market for solar due to the faster return of capital investment especially for rural and remote users looking to go off-grid. Furthermore, the entire EHT embedded solar roof becomes a massive solar panel capable of producing significantly more energy than the home requires, allowing the structure to then become an important source of power for the local micro grid or large battery storage systems.

Altus Shareholders Approve La Mancha Strategic Investment and Share Consolidation

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN, IS RESTRICTED AND IS NOT FOR PUBLICATION, RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, NEW ZEALAND, THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH IT WOULD BE UNLAWFUL TO DO SO

DIDCOT, UK / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / Altus Strategies Plc (AIM:ALS)(TSX-V:ALTS), the Africa focused project and royalty generator, announces that at its general meeting ("General Meeting") held on 18 February 2020, the shareholders of the Company ("Shareholders") approved all resolutions to effect the proposed strategic investment ("La Mancha Strategic Investment") by La Mancha Holding S.à r.l. ("La Mancha") in the Company and a five to one consolidation of the Company's share capital ("Share Consolidation"). The issue of 124,229,389 new ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company at a price of C$0.09 per Ordinary Share, to La Mancha is conditional upon Admission. Completion of the La Mancha Strategic Investment ("Completion") will only remain conditional upon the receipt by the Company of C$11,180,645 ("Subscription Price") (approximately £6.5 million), Admission (as defined below) and receipt of regulatory approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V"). Admission and Completion are expected to take place on 21 February 2020.

Highlights:

Conditional strategic investment by La Mancha of approximately C$11.2 million (approximately £6.5 million / approximately US$8.4 million) approved by Altus shareholders
Transformational deal to accelerate the Company's project and royalty strategies in Africa
On Completion:

La Mancha will become a cornerstone shareholder owning approximately 35.4% of the then enlarged share capital of Altus
La Mancha will have the ability to appoint two representatives to the Altus' board of directors

Following Completion the Altus treasury of cash and listed equities will be approximately C$18.2M / £10.5M
Five into one share consolidation to be undertaken effective as at the close of trading on 21 February 2020

Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus, commented:

"We are delighted that our shareholders have overwhelmingly approved the strategic investment by La Mancha, a pre-eminent Africa-focused mining investment group with a notable track record in deal selection and value creation. The directors believe that this transaction will be transformative for Altus, providing the capital and expertise to fast track our project and royalty generation activities, as well as unlocking new external growth opportunities. The directors are of the view that the deal also represents a strong industry endorsement of the Altus team, portfolio and business model. We thank our shareholders for their continued support and look forward to keeping them advised of our progress."

La Mancha Strategic Investment

Upon the receipt of the subscription price and final TSX-V approval, the Company will issue to La Mancha 124,229,389 new Ordinary Shares in the Company at a price of C$0.09 per Ordinary Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of C$11,180,645 (approximately £6.5m / US$8.4m). On Admission, La Mancha will own approximately 35.4 per cent. of the enlarged share capital of the Company. The Company will make a further announcement in relation to Completion and the subsequent Share Consolidation.

Pursuant to the Strategic Investment Agreement, La Mancha has agreed (subject to certain customary exceptions) not to dispose of any its shares in the Company for a period of 24 months following Admission. No finder fees or other commissions are being paid in respect of the La Mancha Strategic Investment.

Rule 9 Waiver

Without a waiver of the obligations under Rule 9 of the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (commonly referred to as a "Whitewash"), the La Mancha Strategic Investment would require La Mancha (and any persons acting in concert with it) to make a general offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company not already held by La Mancha (and any persons acting in concert with it). The Resolution relating to the Whitewash was approved on a poll by independent shareholders at the General Meeting on 18 February 2020. Since the La Mancha Strategic Investment will result in La Mancha owning more than 20 per cent. of the total voting rights of the Company and thereby becoming a "control person" under TSX-V policies, the issue of Ordinary Shares to La Mancha was also conditional on the approval of disinterested shareholders at the General Meeting.

Share Consolidation

As approved by Shareholders at the General Meeting, the Company will undertake the Share Consolidation, by way of one consolidated ordinary share ("Consolidated Ordinary Share") for every five existing Ordinary Shares. It is expected that the Share Consolidation will be effective after the close of trading in the Company's shares on AIM and TSX-V on 21 February 2020 (the "Share Consolidation Record Date").

Most Shareholders will not hold at the Share Consolidation Record Date a number of Ordinary Shares that is exactly divisible by the consolidation ratio. The result of the Share Consolidation, will be that such Shareholders will be left with fractional entitlement to a resulting Consolidated Ordinary Share. However, no fractional Ordinary Shares will be issued upon effecting the Share Consolidation. If, as a result of the Share Consolidation, a holder of existing Ordinary Shares would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Consolidated Ordinary Share, such fraction shall be rounded up to one whole Consolidated Ordinary Share. The nominal value of the new Consolidated Ordinary Shares to be issued in order to round up any fractional entitlement will be paid up from the Company's share premium account as fully-paid bonus shares. As a result of the Share Consolidation, there will be certain proportional adjustments to outstanding warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares to preserve the rights of holders of such securities to the relevant proportion of Consolidated Ordinary Shares.

As a result of the Share Consolidation the Company will have approximately 70,091,570 issued and outstanding Consolidated Ordinary Shares. The Company will make a further announcement in respect of the number of shares in issue as a result of fractional shares being rounded up following the Share Consolidation.

Admission of Ordinary Shares to AIM

Application has been made for the 124,229,389 new Ordinary Shares issued under the La Mancha Strategic Investment to begin trading on AIM and it is expected that admission and dealings in the new Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM ("Admission") at 8.00 a.m. on, or around, 21 February 2020.

Total Voting Rights

Following the La Mancha Strategic Investment and prior to the Share Consolidation, there will be a total of 350,457,850 issued Ordinary Shares, none of which are held in treasury. Shareholders should use that number as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

No offer or solicitation

This Announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an invitation to any person to purchase or subscribe for Ordinary Shares or any other securities or engage in any form of investment activity.

Taiga Expands Orchid Project, Acquires Additional High Grade Gold Occurrences

CRANBROOK, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / Taiga Gold Corp (CSE:TGC) ("Taiga") or (the "Company") has successfully completed staking activity on its' 100%-owned Orchid project located 120km east of La Ronge, Saskatchewan and 70km south of SSR Mining's Inc.'s Seabee Gold Operation, host of the Seabee and Santoy gold deposts. The Company recently added 384 ha to its existing property holdings of 7600ha which are situated along the same structural corridor and within rocks similar to those currently being mined at the Santoy deposit. The property is considered to have excellent potential to host significant gold mineralization and carries no underlying royalties or encumbrances.

The recently-acquired claims cover the "Versary" gold occurrence, a 100m-long shear zone containing quartz-pyrite-tourmaline veining and breccia. The showing was discovered in 1968 and has seen sporadic geological work including prospecting, geological mapping, trenching, ground geophysics and 14 shallow diamond drill holes, with the last significant work program completed in 1995 by Consolidated Pine Channel Resources.

An eight-hole diamond drilling program conducted by Consolidated Pine Channel in 1994-95 reported sample results ranging from trace gold values to highlights as summarized below:

72.3 – 74.2: 11.4 g/t Au over 1.9m (DDH WL – 2 – 94)
13.35 – 15.2: 4.98 g/t Au over 1.85m (DDH WL – 4 – 95)

Orchid Property History

The Orchid project was originally staked by Eagle Plains Resources in 2014 and was subsequently transferred to Taiga as part of a plan of arrangement completed in 2018. The property has historically been explored for its gold potential since the mid-1980s and contains numerous documented high-grade mineral occurrences grading from trace values to highs of 41.3 g/t (Orchid Au Zone), 19.2 g/t Au (Tim's Showing), 12.7 g/t (Eureka), and 8.5 g/t (Terra Zone) as well as significant Ag (144.5 g/t), Cu (3.9%), and Mo (2600 ppm). The property is located within the Trans Hudson Corridor, an ancient belt of rocks that contain significant mineral deposits such as the 40 M ounce Homestake gold deposit in South Dakota, the Flin Flon and Snow Lake VMS Districts and the Seabee/Santoy Gold Complex. Ore geology at the Seabee Gold Operation consists of high-grade vein mineralization associated with volcanic and mafic intrusive rocks which have been structurally disrupted by splays of the deep-crustal Tabbernor Fault system. Both the Seabee Gold Operation and the Orchid project are underlain by rocks of the Pine Lake greenstone belt.

2017 and 2018 exploration work included an airborne geophysical survey and the collection of a total of 110 rock samples, including 11 channel samples. Twenty-five rock samples returned greater than 1.0 g/t Au, with a best grab sample result of 61.30 g/t Au. Current exploration work has indicated certain similarities to those seen at the Seabee Gold Operation, including host lithologies and contact relationships, style of mineralization, and presence of multiple fault systems that allowed for high fluid-flow regimes. The Seabee Gold Operation has been in continuous production since 1991 and has produced over 1.57 million ounces of gold from the Seabee and Santoy deposits.

Taiga intends to advance the project to drill-ready status and is currently in the planning and budgeting stages for 2020 fieldwork.

The above results were taken directly from the SMDI descriptions. Management cautions that historical results were collected and reported by past operators and have not been verified nor confirmed by a Qualified Person, but form a basis for ongoing work in the Orchid property area. Management cautions that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the subject properties.

Charles C. Downie, P.Geo., a "qualified person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and a Director of Taiga Gold Corp., has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in the news release.

Fisher Project Update

Exploration activity continues at the Company's 100%-owned Fisher project, currently under option to partner SSR Mining Inc. Two drills are currently on site to carry out a planned 12,000m program. Results will be formally announced as they are received, compiled and interpreted.

About Taiga Gold Corp

Taiga Gold Corp was created through a plan of arrangement with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. and owns 5 projects targeting gold in the area near the Seabee Gold Operation, owned and operated by SSR Mining Inc. (formerly Silver Standard Resources Inc.) ("SSRM"). Taiga's flagship "Fisher" property is currently being explored by SSRM under option from Taiga.

Taiga's objective is to focus on the exploration and development of its gold projects located adjacent to the Seabee Gold Operation and along the Tabbernor Fault structure in eastern Saskatchewan, a highly-prospective mining jurisdiction which was recently recognized by the Fraser Institute as the second best place in the world in terms of Investment Attractiveness. Throughout the exploration and development process, our mission is to help maintain prosperous communities by exploring for and discovering resource opportunities while building lasting relationships through honest and respectful business practices.

Tony Amaradio Says that Achieving Financial Goals Can Happen in 5 Steps

Nearly half of the country still lives paycheck to paycheck,

Aliso Viejo, CA – February 19, 2020 /MarketersMedia/

Currently, millions of Americans have a hard time saving money for the future. This can be solved with a simple, easy-to-follow financial plan meant to provide guidance and structure. Renowned economic advisor and visionary philanthropist Tony Amaradio believes the key to attaining personal financial goals is found in the following of five crucial steps. The co-author of best selling book, “Faithful with Much” demonstrates that economic prosperity in a household involves discipline, strategy, and adapting to any changes or disruptions that occur along the way.

Despite a turnaround from recession within the U.S economy in recent years, nearly half of the country still lives paycheck to paycheck, according to a study cited by Esquire contributor Jack Holmes. Such circumstances require a measured and calculated approach when working towards a stable and abundant outcome. Tony Amaradio suggests first developing a realistic financial goal, and tailoring a plan to fit it. The next step is to review any outstanding debts, whether it’s credit card debt, or a mortgage. In many cases, there is leeway in regards to renegotiating the debt at a more advantageous interest rate. “Debt-laden consumers can negotiate with credit card issuers to reduce the amount they owe or create a more palatable payment plan—if they know what to do,” writes Fox Business contributor Donna Fuscaldo. Securing a favorable deal can result in lower payments, while also decreasing the amount of debt owed. This makes a surplus of funds that can be put towards savings.

The third step put forth by Amaradio is to identify spending habits. New York Times contributor Carl Richards emphasizes the examining of purchases from the past 30 days to get a better insight. “The point of this is not to beat yourself up about your spending,” Richards says, but rather to create a sense of awareness with your tendencies. After charting your expenses, create a monthly spending plan, allocating a reasonable amount of money towards every category, with strict adherence to each. The final step in the process is an ongoing one; adapting to any setbacks or changes that occur along the way, such as a medical emergency, car troubles, or home repair need. When faced with an unexpected expense, the best course of action is to either reallocate the money from a different category, or use an emergency fund established beforehand. Carefully aligning your finances with these proven steps set forth by Amaradio will lead to the desired financial goals in the future.

As a 35-year veteran within the financial services industry, Tony Amaradio provides what he has coined as “best in class” service to a wide and diverse range of clients. Upon graduating with an MBA in both Finance and Taxation, Amaradio’s skillset was quickly noticed and retained by a prominent Fortune 500 company. After receiving numerous accolades in the financial services industry, he left to establish his own firm, citing desire to forge his own path to success. Today, Amaradio oversees both Select Portfolio Management Inc. and Select Money Management Inc., and is known for his radio talk show “Market Talk”. Together with his wife, Carin, they contribute to a number of nonprofit organizations in the Southern California area, and have co-authored a revolutionary book titled “Faithful With Much – Breaking Down The Barriers To Generous Giving”.

Good Buddy Dog Training to Launch a Combined Dog Walking, Feeding and Training Service

The New Service in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, is Ideal for Busy Professionals Who Work Long Hours

RIO RANCHO, NM / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / Paul Falardeau, owner of Good Buddy Dog Training in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, is pleased to announce that he will soon be launching a new dog training and care service that is ideal for busy professionals who work long shifts.

To learn more about Good Buddy Dog Training and the services that Falardeau offers as a professional dog trainer, please visit https://www.goodbuddydogtraining.com/about-us.

Falardeau knows that there are certain professions, like doctors, nurses, and others, who work really long hours-sometimes as much as 12 or 16 hours at a time. If they own dogs, these professionals often not only need to find a reputable dog trainer to help them, they also need basic care for their four-legged friend.

"I'm putting together a service where several times a week I can go in and walk the dog, take him out, feed him if needed and also work on training him," Falardeau said.

Good Buddy Dog Training opened for business about 2 years ago. In addition to being certified as a dog trainer by a top local animal behaviorist, Falardeau has also earned his CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed), which is a national certification that holds certified dog trainers to a high standard of continuing education, training, and ethics.

Falardeau features private in-home dog and puppy training and said he always starts with an evaluation with his two- and four-legged clients.

"I'll go into the person's home, and I'll put together a custom plan, which is what I think they need the most," he said, adding that typically, he will go into the home once a week for about eight weeks.

"I really teach the owner more than the dog because the owner will be working with the dog more than I will. So as I like to say, I'm more of a people trainer than a dog trainer."

As for what he enjoys the most about his work, Falardeau said he especially likes seeing the many different personalities that dogs can have.

"I also really like seeing the owners when they see their dog is actually learning something. Seeing them get excited about it is really rewarding for me."

About Good Buddy Dog Training:

The mission of Good Buddy Dog Training is to provide professional, private dog training to responsible dog owners, which is based on the science of how dogs learn by using a positive and fun curriculum to build confidence in both dog and owner.

Looking For Gold Stocks? 5 Penny Stocks To Watch Right Now

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 19, 2020 / The top website for all things penny stocks, PennyStocks.com just released a new, exclusive & informative article titled: Top Penny Stocks To Watch If You Like Gold The team at PennyStocks.com discusses 5 penny stocks to watch this week that have started to make bigger moves as gold prices reach new multi-year highs.

Within this article, PennyStocks.com states how: "Gold stocks and certain penny stocks have taken center stage as the price of gold continues to climbs higher this month. Concerns over "COVID-19," a.k.a the coronavirus, persist as the world waits to find out the full fall-out from the illness. It's now impacted countries across the globe. More than 2,000 deaths have been attributed to the virus and over 75,0000 cases have been cited in Mainland China alone. While a broad range of industries have either stalled out or stopped completely in China, the adjusted outlook has shifted."

The top penny stock website continues: "This is part of the reason why gold stocks have shined. The previous high for gold in recent weeks was $1,613.30. Before the market open on February 19, gold futures broke above $1,614. While the market itself has climbed higher at the same time, some speculate that record-high levels may not be sustainable. Furthermore, a low-rate environment along with no resolution to the U.S. China trade war during an election year could give rise to more uncertainty later this year. With this in mind, here's a list of penny stocks you may want to watch as gold heads higher, including YAMANA GOLD INC. (YRI; AUY)
