BRIDGEWATER, NS / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2019 / Silver Spruce Resources Inc. (TSXV:SSE)(Frankfort:S6Q1) ("Silver Spruce" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the completion of its field due diligence program on the Melchett Lake Zn-Au-Ag volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") project, an advanced precious and base metal project in the Thunder Bay Mining District, northern Ontario, Canada. Mobilization to the Property by air from Nakina was conducted on October 3rd, 2019 for a seven-day field program focusing on the known targets with drill core and surface exposures.

"We are very pleased to report on management site visits to provide oversight on targeted exploration and data verification on the Melchett Lake VMS-Au Property which will support a pending decision to earn a 100% interest in the project," stated Karl Boltz, CEO of Silver Spruce.

"We continue to advance our due diligence pending multi-element geochemical results from rock and core samples, while building our Leapfrog GIS database with recently revised drill hole co-ordinates and all available drilling, geophysical and geological information to identify additional VMS sulphide mineral responses and alteration vectors leading to drill target identification," stated Greg Davison, Director of Silver Spruce. "Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines work permits currently are in place for our follow-up exploration program including geological sampling, trenching and diamond drilling."

Letter of Intent

Silver Spruce Resources Inc. signed a binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire 100% of the Melchett Lake Zn-Au-Ag volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") project, Thunder Bay Mining District, northern Ontario, Canada. The LOI was executed on September 9th, 2019. Silver Spruce has a 90-day window after signing the LOI to carry out its due diligence and prepare a Definitive Agreement ("DA").

Due Diligence and Exploration

The current work was performed to update and verify the multi-kilometre strike length of the known areas of mineralization, broad intervals of mineralization, intense alteration profile similar to well-known polymetallic deposits, and presence of high-grade values of both precious metals and base metals reported from the historical exploration.

Field work for the due diligence program focused on geological sampling and data verification on known occurrences, GPS location surveys of the historical drill collars to update the 2D and 3D Leapfrog model, and preservation and sampling of the diamond drill core stored on the Property.

The team examined the principal showings and trenches, and drill core at the Relf and Nakina targets separated by 5km along the principal mineralized trend. Limited ground truthing of geochemical and geophysical targets was conducted over areas peripheral to the known mineralization.

The Property was accessed via float equipped aircraft from Nakina to fly camps on both Relf Lake and Kapikotongwa Lake, the latter west of Melchett Lake, and by helicopter to camp sites and target areas from Nakina Airport.

The team spent four days at the Relf Lake showings and three days at the Nakina showings. Silver Spruce Director, Greg Davison, who worked the Melchett Lake area for Kerr Addison Mines and Tribute Minerals, respectively, led the management visit to the Property. Consulting Geologist Luc Lepage, MSc, PGeo, was the manager of the on-site activities for the field program. Mr. Lepage has extensive international experience including field work at the nearby Marshall Lake VMS project.

Drill core from the Stratabound Minerals program of two holes in 2007 and 2008 was stacked at the Relf Lake collar sites whereas Kerr Addison core from the 1983-1987 programs were stored in racks near the Kapikotongwa Lake ("Kap") camp location, two kilometres west of the Nakina showings. The former core was well preserved, and all of the remaining core was laid out and reviewed before cross-stacking, and 10cm whole core samples were collected for metal and alteration geochemistry. The altered and mineralized intervals previously were sampled in select sections using whole core (20% of 1metre intervals per 8metres, additional intervals in well mineralized core) and the abundant gap intervals were marked. The collars for the Relf area holes and the main trench zone were re-located using GPS.

The core at Kap-Nakina included Kerr Addison holes from both the Nakina and Relf targets. The core racks were in very poor condition and only a small proportion of the core was readily accessible for sampling as labels and core integrity were limited. Samples for geochemistry were selected only where hole identification was verified. The collars for the Nakina area holes, which exhibited significant variance from the assessment literature, and the trench zones, were re-located using GPS.

Rock sampling was carried out at both the Nakina and Relf targets at known trench locations. The Nakina targets are characterized by high silica-pyrite and a well foliated micaceous fabric. The Relf trenches are intensely altered and well oxidized on surface with extensive gossans with very friable to siliceous quartz-sericite schists, pervasive discoloration by iron and massive to spongy ferroan "blackjack" sphalerite in thin stringers to sphalerite-pyrite lenses of several centimetres, over an exposure of more than forty by twenty metres. The schists exhibited finely disseminated pyrite within granular quartz-sericite with pinch swell textures and steep dips along an east-west fabric. Lineations, from limited measurements, in the area are steeply dipping and appear orthogonal to the principal oblate alignment of the mineralization.

A total of seventy-two (72) rock and core samples were collected, sixty of which were submitted for multi-element geochemical analysis and the results are pending.

Maps and site photographs of the core and trench areas are available on the Silver Spruce website at Melchett Maps and Melchett Photos, and the geological and GIS compilations will be reported and posted on the Company website in due course.

An update to the NI 43-101 technical reporting initiated by an independent Qualified Person ("QP") is planned during Q1 2020 upon acquisition of the detailed airborne and downhole geophysical survey data, structural geology analysis, receipt of the due diligence assays, interpretation of the geochemical vectors and development of the 2020 program proposals.

Project Background

The Property, located within Melchett Lake greenstone belt of the English River Sub-province of the Archean-age Superior Province, is underlain by a bimodal mafic-felsic sequence of pyroclastics, tuffs and flows with cherts and Fe-lean to Fe-rich iron formation. Several occurrences of polymetallic Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-Au VMS style mineralization are similar in character to ore deposits exploited at Mattabi, Winston Lake, Geco, Brunswick, Rouyn-Noranda and Uchi Lake. There are locally high-grade lenses of Zn & Ag with variable Cu, Au and Pb, and historical gold grades to 28.8g/t Au, silver grades to 560g/t Ag and zinc grades to 19.1%.

Highlights of the prospective geology, alteration and mineralization include multiple folded or stacked horizons of coincident alteration and metal mineralization, high Zn/Cu, Zn/Pb and Ag/Au ratios, extensive remobilization of major and trace elements with defined enrichment (Fe, Mg, Co, Cr, Cd) and depletion (Na, Sr, Ca) zones, and continuity, increased alteration and anomalous metal values over large intervals (up to 245 metres in DDH SB-07-01 from 345-590metres) with a strong electromagnetic (BHTEM) 20 channel off-hole response.

Selected grab samples taken from the Relf Zone by Shawmin averaged 13.0% zinc (Zn), 1.2% lead (Pb), 0.26% copper (Cu) and 325g/t silver (Ag); best results received were 19.1% Zn, 2.2% Pb, 0.40% Cu, 565g/t Ag and 1.72g/t gold (Au). A selection of Relf Zone samples collected in 1984 by Kerr Addison geologist and current Silver Spruce director G. Davison is shown below.

At the Nakina l Zone, Nakina Mines reported, in separate samples, 14.85% Zn and 28.8g/t Au from a pyritized felsic volcanic unit. Rock sampling of a pyritized felsic volcanic unit in the Nakina 2 Zone by Kerr Addison returned a value of 15.08g/t Au.

Gold mineralization in the Iron Lake area, which was not examined during the current due diligence program, is traced for at least 600metres within a sheared, sericite-silica altered felsic metavolcanic and contains 3-8% pyrite, with lesser chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Grab samples reported 7.7g/t Au, 13.05g/t Au and 13.48g/t Au.

All of the above metal values were reported by past operators in the Melchett Lake area, from grab samples which may not be representative of the metal grades, and are historical in nature.

Exploration History

Base metals were first reported in 1959 by Kerr-Lund and Little Long Lac Gold Mines in the Kerr-Lund (Relf) Zone. Between 1964 and 1997, the area was held by Shawmin, Nakina Mines, Chimo Gold Mines, Falconbridge, Cominco, Kerr Addison Mines, Minnova, Inmet and Redbird. Tribute staked a large claim group in 1999 and during 2002 completed a 217 line-kilometre DIGHEMv airborne magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical survey using a 100metre separation. Stratabound Minerals, during 2007 and 2008, completed two drill holes and downhole geophysics with Maxwell modelling. The property was staked by the current Vendors in 2017.

In addition, Fugro carried out a regional airborne magnetic gradiometer survey for the Ontario Geological Survey from 2009-2010 which comprised over 75,000 line-kilometres of data acquisition, flown in a north-to-south direction with 200 metre flight line spacing and with full coverage over the Property and the Melchett Lake greenstone belt.

Geochemical Analysis, Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Samples were collected by the Company's QPs, packaged in plastic bags with Tyvek tags and shipped by contract air services to Nakina and, using the QPs' private vehicles, delivered directly to the ALS Global sample preparation facilities in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Photographs of the individual rock and core samples were collected from each sample prior to shipment. Several select rock samples from the Nakina and Relf trenches were split as required, with a representative portion bagged and sealed in packages by the QPs for analysis. These rock samples selected for display and investor meetings were photographed at the offices of the QP, and all images will be made available on the Company web site in due course.

Samples were weighed on receipt (WEI-21) and logged into the global tracking system (LOG-22). The samples were crushed to 70% passing 2mm (PREP-31) and a split of up to 250 grams was pulverized to 85% passing 75 micrometres (-200 mesh).

The sample pulps were transferred internally to ALS Global's North Vancouver analytical facility for analysis. ALS Global in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, is a facility certified as ISO 9001:2008 and accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 from the Standards Council of Canada.

Twenty-four pulps (25gram split) were then submitted for analysis by Aqua Regia Digestion followed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) multi-element analyses (ALS Code AuME-TL43, 51 elements).

Thirty-six pulps were submitted for whole rock oxide, metals and multi-element analysis by lithium borate fusion and acid digestion followed by Inductively-Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) (ALS Code ME-ICP06, 13 elements), Loss on Ignition (LOI) at 1000C by furnace or TGA, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) on the same fused bead after acid digestion (ALS Code ME-MS81d, 30 elements), and measured by Inductively-Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) after a near-total digestion in a mixture of HCl, HNO3, HClO4, and HF (ALS Code ME-4ACD81, 12 elements).

All precious and base metal analyses that reach the over-limits of AuME-TL43, ME-MS81d or ME-4ACD81 will be re-analyzed with an Ore Grade method. Over-limit Cu (>1%), Pb (>1%), Zn (>1%) and Ag (>100ppm) samples are analyzed by Ore Grade 4 Acid Digestion followed by Ore Grade Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) for Pb (ALS Code Pb-OG62) and Ag (ALS Code Ag-OG62), and by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) for Cu (ALS Code Cu-AA62) and Zn (ALS Code Zn-AA62). Gold will be analyzed using 30gram fire assay with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (ALS Code Au-AA23). Over-limit Au (>10ppm) will be conducted by 30gram fire assay with Gravimetric finish (ALS Code Au-GRA21).

No independent or in-house quality control samples (blanks, standards, duplicates) were inserted into the sample sets. ALS Global conducts its own internal QA/QC program of blanks, standards and duplicates, and the results are provided with the Company sample certificates. The results of the ALS control samples will be reviewed by the Company's QP and evaluated for acceptable tolerances. All sample and pulp rejects will be stored at ALS Global pending full review of the analytical data, and future selection of pulps for independent third-party check analyses, as requisite.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2019 / GLOBAL HEMP GROUP INC. ("GHG" or the "Company") (CSE:GHG)(OTC PINK:GBHPF)(FRANKFURT:GHG) is pleased toannounce that the "Field Agent" hemp drone has made its inaugural flight over Global Hemp's joint venture hemp farm in Scio, Oregon. The flight was a great success and marked the beginning of the beta testing phase of the Hemp-Fiber biocomposite drone developed specifically for agricultural monitoring. Further beta testing will be conducted over the coming weeks to continue the development of Field Agent as the project moves into Phase II to begin developing the manufacturing and marketing plan.

In order to have increased access to hemp biomass to complete work on the Field Agent and to initiate a number of additional hemp development projects contemplated, Q Worx LLC ("QWorx") has recently relocated their operations from Florida to Scio, Oregon to be near the Company's hemp farm. QWorx will now have access to hemp stalk, fiber, hurd, seed and fan leaves for research on these various projects. QWorx is currently researching the feasibility of developing a binder from components of the hemp seed, fan leaves and/or stalk of the hemp plant to develop a 100% biodegradable composite material. The hemp stalk and seed contain useful lignins, cellulose, and starches that can potentially be used in the formulation of a non-toxic, biodegradable binder.

GHG has been impressed with the progress QWorx has made on the development of the Field Agent prototype. In light of this, the Company is excited to announce that it has entered into a second Technology Development Agreement with QWorx to develop a cold air rapid drying system specially designed for drying hemp and cannabis flower. This unique drying system will deliver a much more efficient solution than traditional drying systems that use heat. By using cold air for drying and curing versus the traditional warm air, degradation of cannabinoids that occurs when heat is applied will be greatly reduced. The system is extremely versatile as it can also be operated using heat if required. The system is designed to reduce labor and fuel costs associated with most current drying systems and will significantly reduce the drying time for the flower. The drying system will not only be cost effective to operate; it can potentially generate 40% to 60% of the energy required to operate it, using a unique and proprietary technology being developed by QWorx. The dryer prototype is expected to be ready for testing on the first harvest from the Company's greenhouse operation later this year.

The cold air rapid drying system has been designed with very few moving parts that could break down, and will have a shell constructed out of hemp composite material made from the biomass produced at GHG's hemp farm. This is just one more example of utilizing what most hemp farmers consider waste, the hemp stalks. Hemp is the only plant on earth that can feed, clothe, house, fuel and medicate society, Global Hemp Group and QWorx intend to promote whole plant processing. There is no waste from the harvested hemp plant, 100% of the plant is useable.

In an interview with CEOCFO Magazine, VOIP-PAL CEO and Director Emil Malak discusses their Patents on the technology needed to switch phone calls from land lines to internet connected calls

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2019 / CEOCFO Magazine, an independent investment publication that highlights important technologies and companies, today announced an interview (https://www.ceocfointerviews.com/interviews/VOIP-PAL1019.htm) with Emil Malak, founder of Voip-Pal (OTCQB:VPLM), a Vancouver, B.C.-based company inventers and pioneers of the switching technology now being used by many of the world's largest telecommunication and social networking companies, without which they could not connect Landline phone calls to Internet phone calls.

As Malak explained in the interview, "We started with five original core patents which we first applied for in November 2006. Between April 2013 and March 2014 those five original patents were all issued. After each patent was issued we filed for continuation patents and have built a portfolio so far of more than 20 patents in the US alone. We also have patents in Europe, Indonesia, Asia and we are expecting approvals soon in other countries".

What the VOIP-PAL patented technology does is allow phone calls routed over the Internet to be seamlessly transferred between traditional landlines, cell phone networks and the internet. Without their technology this would be practically impossible and costly today. Malak notes, "The big players have broken our patent and are using our technology without licensing it. Each one should be paying a fee to use our technology".

Every company that is currently in telecommunications, whether internet or legacy (PSTN), such as AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Apple, and Facebook, and also companies like Amazon because of Alexa, and Google etc., have been and are still using our Voip-Pal system. "We consider their subscribers to be our indirect subscribers," says Malak

As Malak told CEOCFO's Bud Wayne, "We have been fighting some of the most powerful companies in the world in Apple, Amazon. AT&T, Verizon and Twitter. So far we have prevailed in eight IPR challenges and we expect to prevail soon in four others that were filed earlier this year. We are appealing an Alice 101 challenge before the Federal Appeals Court and defending against another in Federal District Court".

Malak explains how difficult it is for most companies and inventors to bring new technologies to the marketplace, "Big tech companies decided they no longer wanted to pay in order to use other company's patents; they wanted to simply steal intellectual property. So they spent billions of dollars in lobbying efforts."

In discussing other projects he is involved with Emil Malak tells CEOCFO, "We are working on a delivery method that will remove THC and all its harmful effects and just provide the user with all the positive benefits of CBD." When asked if he would patent his other projects, Malak responds, "Oh no! I am following my own advice… We will keep our technology as a strict trade secret".

During the Course, Creatives and Anyone Else Who Wishes to Grow their Brand will Learn How to Gain the Attention their Craft Deserves

WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2019 / Brandon Groce, a Designer and Digital Strategist, is pleased to announce the launch of his new online course that will teach creatives and others how to build or grow their brand online.

To learn more about the course and/or to enroll, please check out Groce's Instagram page at https://brandongroce.teachable.com/p/instagram-course.

As Groce noted, the world of design is not as accessible as many people might imagine. This industry, which has grown over the decades and is responsible for the branding of any company or famous individual, can at times be too exclusive.

Through his work as a Designer and Digital Strategist, Groce wants to fix this issue by providing design education to those who want it. As someone who struggled with finding an appropriate and inspiring learning environment growing up, he can relate with those who feel scared or incapacitated to learn about design.

"When I was younger, I never raised my hand in school because I was too afraid of being wrong. One day I raised my hand because I knew the answer to the question, but everyone had become accustomed to me being wrong, including the teacher. All the students laughed at me and I felt stupid, small and insignificant. Because of that day I strive with all my heart and energy to help individuals who feel the same way I did that day in the classroom," Groce said.

The feeling of shame and embarrassment he felt when he was just a kid who was trying to learn, is in part what inspires Groce to make design education more accessible. Groce recently launched his new course because he wants others to know that regardless of their situation or setbacks, they can achieve progress in their lives and careers.

"I was told I had learning disabilities. I was told by teachers and colleagues that I would never be able to make anything for myself, and I've proved them wrong. I am a college dropout turned designer and digital strategist for Fortune 500s, as well as a design educator. I've worked with some of the largest and coolest brands in the world today," Groce said.

As a designer, Brandon has worked with Adobe, Disney, Hilton, LG, Salesforce, CES and Dannon, among others. Through his work, he helped them build their brand and improve their sales online. In addition, Groce hosts the podcast Design Huddle, where he and his co-host Ryan Warrender, discuss news and important stories related to the world of design.

Groces's next projects include building courses on Adobe XD and animation, since designers constantly ask him how to design and animate the way they see him do on his Instagram feed. In addition, Groce wants to continue collaborating with Adobe on other educational and tutorial content for the creative community.

About Brandon Groce:

Brandon Groce is a Designer and Digital Strategist for Fortune 500 companies. He uses design and social media to create sales funnels and gain massive attention for brands such as Adobe, Disney, Dannon, Hilton, and LG. Over the past year, he's focused on helping other creative entrepreneurs grow their personal brands and gain attention. For more information, please visit http://www.brandongroce.me/.
