Cardinal Resources Limited (ASX:CDV) ("Cardinal" or "the Company"), an African gold focused exploration company, is pleased to present to shareholders its Quarterly Activities report for the period ended 30 September 2016. Currently Cardinal holds four tenements within the Bolgatanga Project, with Subranum comprised of a single tenement in central Ghana (see Figure 1 in the link below).

HIGHLIGHTS

- Infill drill holes continue to intersect wide mineralised zones at Namdini Project  

- Shallow updip drill holes at Namdini planned for Q4 2016

- 3 drills now onsite operating 24/7

- Further exploration planned around the Namdini orebody

- Further exploration planned within the Bolgatanga and Subranum Projects

Commenting on the quarter's activities, Managing Director Archie Koimtsidis said:  

"We are further encouraged by continued intersections of wide gold mineralisation reported during Q3 from the drilling within the Namdini Project (see Figure 3 in the link below).

"These gold intersections continue to confirm and enhance the gold potential of this project.

"We are looking forward to the commencement of the planned exploration programme which will begin with shallow first pass Auger drilling to test the larger Namdini Project area and also target areas within the Bolgatanga and Subranum Projects."

NAMDINI PROJECT

The Namdini tenement is located ~12 km SE from Cardinal's Ndongo Prospect (see Figure 2 in the link below).

Drilling  and Sampling Summary  

Infill diamond,reverse circulation (RC) with diamond tails and RC drilling continued at the Namdini Project during this quarter (see Figure 3 in the link below).  

Total drilling for the quarter comprised of 20 drill holes totalling 2,914.82m, with a combined total of 2,296 samples for fire assay, including duplicates, blanks and standards (see Table 1 in the link below).

Namdini Drilling

Drilling at Namdini comprised of 3 diamond drill holes and 3 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes with diamond tails (see Figure 3 in the link below). All samples have been submitted for fire assay with the results pending.  

Namdini Scout Sterilisation Drilling

Scout sterilisation drilling at Namdini North and Namdini South during this quarter comprised of 11 RC drill holes and 3 RC drill holes with diamond tails (see Figure 4 in the link below).

Three lines of shallow inclined reverse circulation drilling werecompleted to the north (two lines) and south (one line) of the Namdini deposit in order to initiate assessment of suitable locations for the positioning of infrastructure required for any future open pit mining located on the Namdini deposit. A total of 15 holes were drilled for 2,027 metres of RC drilling and 88.85 metres of diamond drill 'tails' for a total of 2,115.85m.  

Drill hole NMDD381-737 intersected the same mineralised lithologies asfound in all previous Namdini drill holes and also confirmed the lower metasedimentary contact.

Diamond Drilling

The drill rigs were aligned at -65deg dip drilling east which allows for the shallowing of the drill holes with depth. The azimuth was set at 095deg instead of 100deg (normal to the strike of the formations) as the borehole traces usually deviate to the right with depth due to the clockwise rotation of the drill rods.

The drill holes were surveyed near the top of each drill hole, then every 30m down the hole to determine the dip and azimuth of the drill holes with depth.  

The core was orientated at each drill run using a digital instrument. The core was marked showing the base of the drill hole, then the core from each drill run was laid in a length of angle iron to fit the core together so that the orientation line could be drawn along the length of the core at the drill site.  Geotechnical parameters were measured using this orientation line as the datum line.

Logging and Sampling  

The core was photographed both dry and wet, then logged lithologically. Weathering, mineralisation and alteration were all captured on a digital tablet for entry into the Cardinal database. A hand held kenometer device was used to measure the geotechnical parameters using the orientation line as a reference.

The core was then cut in half and then quartered. One quarter of the core was consistently sampled at 1 metre intervals, with the remaining three quarters core stored in metal core trays and placed on metal racks under cover in the core shed at Bolgatanga.  

The quarter core samples were bagged, weighed, labelled and inserted into polyweave bags for despatch to the laboratory for sample preparation, bulk density determinations on selected samples from each lithological unit and fire assay. QAQC protocols were observed by inserting in-house blanks and commercial certified reference material (CRM) as standards at every 22nd sample.

RC samples were collected through a cyclone, then weighed and split on site using a 3-tier splitter. The splitter generates two samples (1 laboratory and 1 reference sample, which is stored at Bolgatanga). Duplicate samples were taken every 22 samples and included with the samples for assaying. In-house blanks and commercial certified reference material (CRM) as standards were inserted at every 10th sample after the duplicates.

Washed RC chips from each 1 m sample bag were logged, then stored in chip trays. Each chip tray contains 10 compartments into which are placed the washed chips for future reference if required.

The Company has redirected its sample submissions from SGS Laboratory in Burkina Faso to the SGS Laboratory Ghana which will assist in the acceleration of assay results.  

Namdini Ground Geophysics
During the previous quarter Gradient Array Induced Polarisation and Ground Magmetic surveys were completed over a 24 sq km area around Namdini (see Figure 5 in the link below).

Soil auger drilling has been planned during this quarter to utilise the same grid lines for shallow soil sampling over the accessible areas within this 24 sq km area. Weather permitting, these surveys will start during October 2016.

Geochemical results will be combined with the ground geophysical interpretations to delineate drill targets to extend and further enhance the gold potential of the Namdini area.

BOLGATANGA PROJECT  

NDONGO PROSPECT

Ndongo Far East Prospect

The airborne geophysical survey over the Ndongo Tenement identified a magnetic body intruded into the low pressure dilation zone around the southern and SE margins of the Pelungu Granite (see Figure 6 in the link below).  

Previous geochemical sampling in this area delineated anomalous gold-in-soil values around the margins of this magnetic intrusive, which constitutes a target area for more exploration.  

During the previous quarter Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) and Ground Magnetic (GMAG) ground geophysical surveys were completed over 4 sq km of this target area which should indicate whether any gold- bearing sulphides are developed around the margins of this magnetic intrusive (see Figure 7 in the link below).

A soil auger survey was planned during this quarter to utilize the same geophysical grid to further delineate anomalous areas. This survey is planned to commence during the following quarter, weather permitting.

KUNGONGO PROSPECT  

The airborne geophysicalsurvey over the Kungongo Prospect delineated two interpreted target areas containing possible mineralised structures (see Figure 8 in the link below).  

Target A occurs over a ~6 km long portion of the SW extension of the regional Bole-Bolgatanga Fault (Shear) Zone which extends over northern Ghana. Target B occurs over a ~7 km long area underlain by Birimian greenstones and granitoids.

During the previous quarter (Q2 2016) Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) and Ground Magnetic (GMAG) ground geophysical surveys were completed over a 14 sq km area of Target A to delineate possible drilling targets along the shear zone (see Figure 8 in the link below).  

A shallow auger geochemical programme was planned during this quarter utilizing the same GAIP survey grid of 200m line spacings across the entire ~6 km strike length of this shear zone. A total of 36 lines have been cleared across strike for the auger programme to begin during the next quarter (see Figure 9 in the link below).

The geochemical results will be combined with the ground geophysical results to better define drill targets during the next quarter.

BONGO PROSPECT  

The airborne geophysical survey over the Bongo Prospect delineated six interpreted target areas containing possible mineralised structures (see Figure 10 in the link below).

During this quarter planning was done for possible soil auger programmes over Targets A, C and D. Thereafter Gradient Array Induced Polarisation (GAIP) and Ground Magnetic (GMAG) ground geophysical surveys will be considered, depending on the geochemical results.

SUBRANUM PROJECT  

Previous exploration at Subranum has established that the NE extension to the regional Bibiani Shear Zone is developed for approximately 9 km trending SW-NE across the Subranum tenement (see Figure 11 in the link below).

This previous exploration has established a significant anomalous zone of ~5 km to the NE from the SW boundary. Previous shallow drilling, however, had been on 11 fences of varying distances between 200m to >500m apart (see Figure 11 in the link below).  

To properly evaluate the gold mineralisation contained within this anomalous zone, Cardinal is planning a focused systematic exploration  programme to cover this ~5 km anomalous strike length.  

Clearing of the historical drill access tracks was started in this quarter with  planned exploration to start during the next quarter.

OPERATIONAL ACTIVITY

Elko Coking Coal Project Licence Renewal

During the period, the Company renewed the 3 x Coal Licences covering the Elko Coking Coal Project.

The Elko Coking Coal Project is PAK's flagship coal asset. It contains a 257.5 million tonne, JORC Code (2012), resource and is located in the East Kootenay Coal Basin of British Columbia, Canada. PAK holds a 100% interest in the Elko Coal Licenses, which covers a combined area of 3,571 Hectares.

The Elko Coking Coal Project is positioned within 20km of coal rail infrastructure at the southern base of the Basin. This makes it the closest project in the area to the coal ports of Vancouver.

The upper coal seams of the Elko Coking Coal Project have FSI ranging from 7-9 with low sulphur and ash. The Elko coal compares favourably with benchmark coals from around the world including Peak Downs

PAK is focusing on marketing Elko coking coal into the Asian region due to the suitability and favourable shipping location.

Hatch Limited engaged for Elko Coking Coal Project CAPEX study

During the period, the Company engaged Hatch Limited to complete a Concept level mine infrastructure and coal processing CAPEX study for the Elko Coking Coal Project. This package of work will deliver a greater understanding of the Elko Coking Coal Project, building on the 3D mine site modelling completed by Hatch earlier in the year.

Hatch has been engaged to provide capital estimates for the key capital components identified during the 3D mine site modelling package.

The capital will include:

- Materials handling system

- Workshops and mines infrastructure

- Site infrastructure including power and water

- Coal preparation system

- Tailings storage facility

- Execution phase construction costs

The information gained through the conceptual mine site capital study will assist with the planning and development of Elko. The Company is working with Hatch to finalising the CAPEX estimate and is expected to be release the results of this study in early October. The conceptual CAPEX will form part of a body of work that includes the exploration planning and budgeting PAK is currently quantifying.

The capital cost estimate for the Elko Mine will not be a comprehensive project estimate and will not include future capital underground expenditure.

Coking Coal Price Surge

The Company notes there has been a surge in the spot price for Low Volatile, Premium Hard Coking Coal (FOB Australia) and the December 2016 quarterly contract coking coal prices. During the period from 1 July 2016 to 28 October 2016, spot coking coal pricing has increased 274% from US$93 to US$255 per tonne, while contract prices have risen from 220% from US$90 to US$200 per tonne.

The Company continues to advance the Elko Coking Coal Project as the market rebalances through the commodity cycles. The Board remain committed to the Company's flagship Elko Coking Coal Project as it offers shareholders and investors direct exposure to hard coking coal.

Imagine Intelligent Materials

About Imagine Intelligent Materials

Imagine is the leading Australian developer of graphene-based coatings for industrial textiles and fibres. It was founded in 2014 by a group of scientists led by Chris Gilbey and Phil Aitchison, with a vision to create disruptive products and solutions that use graphene.

Imagine has developed a licensing and certification model to ensure that participants in the supply chain are required to meet a set of standards of materials quality. Imagine is the first company in the world to develop conductive geomaterials using functionalised graphene.

Imagine IM Share Exchange

On 2 August 2016, the Company announced the successful completion of the second 20% investment in Imagine Intelligent Materials (Imagine IM). This second acquisition takes PAK's holding in Imagine IM to 40%. The Share Exchange saw PAK issue 26,099,987 PAK ordinary fully paid shares in consideration for 783,766 Imagine IM ordinary fully paid shares.

Imagine IM Field Trials

During the period, Imagine IM successfully completed the first independent field trails of Imagine IM's X3 conductive textiles. The trials were conducted by ExcelPlas, a Nata accredited testing facility. The trials demonstrated the Imagine X3 coated conductive geotextiles are suitable for commercial application.

Imagine IM plan to conduct similar field tests with geotextiles producing companies to tailor the X3 materbatch to their products, product chemistries and production methodologies. These activities are anticipated to lead to short term revenues for Imagine IM.

Having successfully proven that the graphene enhanced non-woven textile is fit for purpose, Imagine IM will undertake a series of optimisation steps as part of a continuing research and development process that seeks to provide generational improvements in the functionalist and economics of the X3 product over time.

Key highlights from the fields trails are:

- Trails based on 2mm thick HDPE geomembrane in 2m wide x 25m long samples,

- Successful detection of holes down to 1mm in size using conductive properties of the X3 masterbatch coating,

- No special installation techniques were required and there were no welding or specialised joining techniques needed, and

- Confirmation that the X3 coated membrane offers an environmentally compelling outcome at reduced cost to industry.

Geelong Plant

Following the commencement of the pilot plant in Geelong on 14 June 2016, Imagine IM anticipates the plant to be at full production before the end of Q4 2016. The pilot plant has sufficient graphene output to meet the current Australian forecast demand and enable initial orders from foreign markets to be fulfilled.

Imagine IM actively pursued international opportunities during the period. Imagine IM have, and continue to build relationships with international organisations as part of the global agenda to accelerate the commercialisation of functional graphene.

Abitibi Royalties Inc. (CVE:RZZ) ("Abitibi Royalties" or the "Company") announces that at the request of the TSX-Venture Exchange ("TSX-Venture") and further to its news release on January 13, 2016, it has submitted an application to the TSX-Venture to change its issuer status from a Mining Issuer to a Tier 2 Investment Issuer, which has been conditionally accepted by the TSX-Venture subject to Abitibi Royalties filing final materials.

The Company's business plan will remain unchanged as it looks to build a portfolio of gold mining royalties, which currently includes various royalties at the Canadian Malartic Mine such as the Odyssey North discovery, Jeffrey Zone and the eastern portion of the Barnat Extension, that are located within the Malartic CHL property.

Details of the change of business, the Company's investment portfolio and policy are included in a Filing Statement, which has been filed with regulators and is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under the Company's issuer profile.

In connection with Abitibi Royalties normal course issuer bid announced on October 3 and 5, 2016, the Company may purchase through the facilities of the TSX-Venture up to 566,812 common shares versus 566,182 that was stated in the October 5, 2016 news release.

In addition, Agnico Eagle (NYSE:AEM) and Yamana (TSE:YRI) have received notice of an application for injunction related to the Canadian Malartic Mine. The next hearing is expected in March 2017. The request for injunction aims to restrict the Canadian Malartic Mine's mining operations to sound levels and mining volumes below the limits to which it is subject. The mines operators expect that if the injunction is granted, production could be reduced, which potentially could reduce royalty payments to Abitibi Royalties. Agnico Eagle and Yamana have reviewed the injunction request, consider the request without merit and will take all reasonable steps to defend against the injunction.

The Company observes that during the third quarter of 2016, a total of 56 drill holes (40,019 metres) were completed at Odyssey, bringing the year-to-date total to 113 holes (89,774 metres). The Company understands that drilling at Odyssey is expected to continue through year-end with an increased budget, previously established at Cdn$13.5 million (95,000 metres of drilling). As stated by Agnico Eagle at the Denver Forum (September 20, 2016), nine drill rigs are active at the project.

Yamana stated in its Q3-2016 News Release, "Drilling during the third quarter focused on defining the margins of both deposits and adding infill holes to upgrade the potential resources to an inferred status. Drilling in the fourth quarter will continue this work and provide additional intercepts to better define potential high grade cross cutting structures. The Company is excited about the results received to date and looks forward to receiving a maiden Inferred Mineral Resource estimate in the first quarter of 2017."

Agnico Eagle stated in its Q3-2016 Conference Call, "[Odyssey] certainly was one of the reasons that both Yamana and Agnico Eagle were attracted to the opportunity of Osisko. There are two zones, Odyssey North and Odyssey South. We have traced Odyssey North Zone from 600 to 1,300 metres below surface, it's a large zone with a strike length over one kilometre".

B) Odyssey - Resource Estimate

Abitibi Royalties has been advised that an inferred mineral resource is expected to be estimated for Odyssey North with the operators fourth quarter and year-end financial results due in February 2017. Abitibi Royalties anticipates receiving a separate annual reserve and resource estimate for the areas at the Canadian Malartic Mine where it holds a royalty sometime after the operator's fourth quarter and year-end financial results are released. Yamana stated during its Q3-2016 Conference Call that "Infill drilling of the Odyssey deposits has returned positive results" and, referring to future steps after the initial inferred resource, "Drilling will continue into Q1 or Q2 of 2017 to develop indicated resources that could form the basis of a pre-feasibility study".

C) Odyssey - Possible Production

Yamana states in its Q3-2016 News Release "This deposit (Odyssey) supports optionality for enhanced production and life of mine" and during the Denver Gold Forum Yamana indicated that Odyssey could operate between 8,000-10,000 tonnes per day (tpd). The operators have provided a range for Odyssey North's gold grade at between 1.5 to 3.0 grams per tonne (gpt), with an average grade being shown as 2 gpt (Agnico Eagle Exploration News Release July 27, 2016 and Yamana's Q2-2016 Results Conference Call Presentation July 29, 2016).

Drill Hole Data and Locations

The Company has not received all, or, in some cases any of the drill hole information since Agnico Eagle and Yamana assumed operational control of the Malartic CHL Property in March 2015. Odyssey North strikes east-southeast and dips deeply to the south, with the mineralization on the eastern portion of the discovery appearing to straddle the Malartic CHL Property boundary at depth (please refer to the Company's plan map in its corporate presentation located at www.abitibiroyalties.com). The Company has not independently verified the location of the published assay results, nor subsequent drilling at Odyssey North and the Company can make no assurances that all of the assay results released to date, nor all of the additional drilling targeting Odyssey North, are within the limits of the Malartic CHL Property where Abitibi Royalties holds a 3% NSR. Any resource estimate for Odyssey North released by the operators with their fourth quarter and year-end financial results may differ from the actual Abitibi Royalties NSR interest due to the location of the Malartic CHL Property boundary.

The Company also wishes to clarify the section numbers for two drill holes in its September 12, 2016 news release. Hole ODY16-5056 section number is 718000E (previously stated as 718800E) and hole ODY-16-5058 section number is 717800E (previously stated as 718800E).

Update on Barnat Extension and Jeffrey Deposits (3% NSR)

The Company holds a 3% NSR on the eastern portion of the Barnat Extension (Barnat East) and the Jeffrey gold deposit, both of which were included in the submitted Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") Project Notification Form. The formal EIA was submitted in February 2015 and is pending final approval.

Agnico Eagle states in its Q3-2016 News Release, "Following the Québec Bureau des Audiences Publiques sur l'Environnement ("BAPE") public hearings in June and July 2016, permitting of the Canadian Malartic extension project and Highway 117 deviation reached an important milestone with the issue of the BAPE report on October 5, 2016. The report concluded that the project is acceptable and provides several recommendations intended to enhance social acceptability. The next step is for the Ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques to review the report and present their decision to Cabinet for approval. No date for the approval has been set, but the Partnership anticipates that this may occur in the first half of 2017."

Based on current estimates, cash flow from the Jeffrey Zone in 2017 has been estimated by the Company at approximately Cdn$430,000 and for the Jeffrey and/Barnat Extension Zones in 2018 at approximately Cdn$1.85 million based on information provided by Agnico Eagle and Yamana (Abitibi Royalties News Release March 29, 2016) and a gold price of US$1,270 per ounce (1.34 CDN:USD Exchange Rate). No production details have been provided by the mine operators beyond 2018.

QUALIFIED PERSON

Glenn J. Mullan, Chairman, is the Qualified Person (as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) who has reviewed this news release which is based on and derived from information contained in Agnico Eagle's Q3-2016 News Release (October 26, 2016), Agnico Eagle's Q3-2016 Results Conference Call (October 27, 2016), Agnico Eagle's Exploration News Release (July 27, 2016), Agnico Eagle's Denver Gold Forum Corporate Presentation Webcast (September 29, 2016), Yamana's Q3-2016 News Release (October 27, 2016), Yamana's Q3-2016 Results Conference Call (October 28, 2016), Yamana's Denver Gold Forum Corporate Presentation Webcast (September 20, 2016) and Q2-2016 Results Conference Call Presentation (July 29, 2016).

MMJ PhytoTech Ltd (ASX:MMJ) Quarterly Update and Appendix 4C

October 31, 2016, 3:30 pm
$
0
0
MMJ PhytoTech Limited (ASX:MMJ) ("MMJ" or "the Company") is pleased to provide its quarterly activities report for the period ended 30 September 2016.

Highlights:

- Proposed spin-out of Canadian subsidiary United Greeneries and Swiss subsidiary Satipharm by way of reverse takeover of TSX-V listed entity Top Strike Resources (TSX-V; TSR)

- MMJ enters strategic option agreement to lease 13-acre land package located directly adjacent to existing Duncan Facility

- Phase 2 Clinical Trial of PTL101 capsules to measure efficacy for reducing seizures in children with intractable epilepsy set to commence

- Appointment of experienced pharmaceutical executive Catherine Harvey as Chief Operations Officer

Duncan Facility Expansion Strategy

During the September quarter, MMJ advised that its wholly-owned subsidiary United Greeneries Holdings Ltd ("UG") had executed a binding letter of intent ("LOI") with Cowichan Tribes ("Cowichan") in respect to the leasing of a 13-acre strategic land package ('Expansion Land") located immediately adjacent to the Duncan Facility.

MMJ estimates that the Expansion Land could support up to 10 acres of greenhouse production space, potentially yielding approximately 25,000kg/year of cannabis, which is more than 25 times the current production capacity of the Duncan Facility. Together with the existing production capacity, the expanded Duncan Facility could produce up to 26,000kg of cannabis per year, which would position it as one of the largest cannabis cultivation operations in Canada.

Expanded production capacity would further strengthen the Company's supply chain and will play a key role in supplying the soon to be legalised Canadian recreational market, with conservative estimates forecasting annual sales of approximately C$5 billion.

As one of only 29 companies currently licensed to produce medical cannabis in Canada, MMJ expects to be well positioned as a first mover in this emerging recreational market.

Cowichan Agreement Overview

The LOI grants MMJ an option to lease 13 acres of the 40-acre strategic land package directly adjacent to the existing Duncan Facility until June 1, 2017. Additionally, the agreement provides MMJ with the capacity to increase the acreage beyond 13 acres if needed upon exercise of the option.

In consideration for the option to lease, the Company has agreed to pay Cowichan Tribes C$1,000 per month until the earlier of the expiry of the option on June 1, 2017, or the entry into a lease agreement.

Phase 2 Clinical Trial for Treatment of Pediatric Epilepsy

In August, MMJ advised that its wholly-owned, Israeli-based subsidiary PhytoTech Therapeutics Limited ("PTL"), was finalising preparations to commence a Phase 2 Clinical Study into the efficacy of its PTL 101 capsules in treating intractable epilepsy in children.

The PTL capsules contain organically derived, highly purified CBD (cannabidoil) and are utilising proprietary formulations developed through the Company's Gelpell product technology.

The Phase 2 study is expected to commence in Q4 2016 at a leading Israeli healthcare facility, and follows the successful Phase 1 Clinical Study which highlighted the safety and high performance of the Gelpell-CBD capsules.

If successful, the Phase 2 clinical trial results will be a key catalyst towards the commercial development of the PTL101 prescription drug for the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children.

MMJ is also in the final stages of preparing for the commencement of a Phase 2 Clinical Study into the ability of its PTL201 capsules to treat spasticity related symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis patients.

Proposed Listing of Core Cannabis Brands of TSX-V

On 28 September, MMJ advised that it had signed a binding Term Sheet with TSX-V listed company Top Strike Resources Limited (TSX-V: TSR) ("Top Strike"), for Top Strike to acquire 100% of the issued shares of United Greeneries and Satipharm AG ("Satipharm") respectively.

The proposed transaction, which remains subject to a number of conditions, including shareholder approval, is intended to provide MMJ shareholders with direct exposure to the rapidly growing recreational and medical cannabis markets in Canada.

Post spin out, MMJ shareholders will, through their shareholdings in MMJ, have an indirect ownership in a fully-financed, growth-focused cannabis company with two key operating brands in UG and Satipharm.

The aggregate sale price of UG and Satipharm (C$40 million) represents approximately 97% of MMJ's current market capitalisation (undiluted and based on a share price of A$0.24).

TSX-V Listing Highlights / Key Benefits:

- Post transaction, MMJ shareholders will have significant exposure to two of the largest commercial opportunities in the global cannabis sector;

- TSX-V listing to fast-track growth of both UG and Satipharm cannabis brands respectively, with robust growth pipelines and near-term revenue generating opportunities to be realised;

- Direct exposure to Canadian capital markets to be a significant value catalyst;

-- Since 1 March 2016 over $200M has been raised by MMJ's Peers

- Top Strike to be become a pure play TSX-V cannabis company with world-class brands providing penetration into evolving recreational and medical cannabis markets globally; and

- Combination of UG and Satipharm brands in the resulting issuer for capturing the entire spectrum of the Canadian recreational and medical cannabis market is expected to create a competitive advantage over single brand competition and to leverage Satipharm's oral delivery assets into the recreational market.

Canadian Recreational Market Opportunity

The Canadian medical cannabis market is one of the most highly regulated and favourable operating jurisdictions globally. At present, there are 34 approved companies operating under the current regulatory framework, of which 10 are publicly listed in Canada.

The medical cannabis market in Canada is expected to grow to C$3 billion in annual sales by 2024, with new patient enrolments in 2016 increasing by an average of 5,000 new patients per month - a total of 75,000 patients are enrolled at present.

A significant value catalyst for Licensed Producers ("LP's") will be the anticipated regulation of the Canadian recreational market, which has a conservative estimated value of circa C$5 billion per annum.

The Canadian government has committed to the introduction of the new recreational regulatory system by in the second half of calendar 2017. It is expected that existing LP's under the current regulatory framework will have a strategic first-mover advantage as early stage suppliers to this recreational market.

Corporate Overview

During the quarter, the Company advised that Mr Ross McKay resigned as a Non-Executive Director due to increased workloads associated with other business interests in Canada. The Board thanks Mr Mckay for his commitment and contribution towards the growth of MMJ over the past 12 months.

In August, MMJ appointed Catherine Harvey as Chief Operations Officer. In the role, Catherine will play a significant role in overseeing the daily operations of MMJ's key business divisions, with a focus on the execution of key international growth objectives.

Post quarter end, the Company announced that it had raised A$4 million (before costs) through the placement of 19,512,196 fully paid ordinary shares ("Placement") to institutional and sophisticated investors at $0.205 per share.

The Placement was well supported by a number of well-regarded institutional investors with the Company accepting over-subscriptions of A$2 million, which is a strong endorsement of MMJ's near-term development strategy and underlying value.

Management Commentary

MMJ's Managing Director, Andreas Gedeon, commented: "The September quarter was a highly productive period for MMJ, highlighted by the Company's proposal to list its core cannabis brands - United Greeneries and Satipharm AG - on the TSX-V via a reverse takeover transaction.

The Company strongly believes listing on the TSX-V will be a significant near-term value catalyst for existing MMJ shareholders, as it provides direct exposure to the rapidly expanding Canadian cannabis market which has an estimated value of approx. C$5 billion.

As the framework around the Canadian medical and recreational cannabis markets continues to evolve, a key focus for management has been on ensuring MMJ has the capacity to rapidly scale-up production. As a result, the Company has entered into a strategic expansion land package to acquire an additional 13 acres located directly adjacent to our Duncan Facility, effectively enabling Duncan to produce circa 26,000kg/year of cannabis.

MMJ's Israeli-based subsidiary, PhytoTech Therapeutics has also continued to make significant progress during the quarter, as it prepares to commence a Phase 2 Clinical Trial to test the efficacy of our PTL 101 capsules in treating intractable epilepsy in children.

I would like to thank our shareholders for their ongoing support, and the Board looks forward to providing further updates on the TSX-V listing and other key operational milestones in the near-term."

Pacific American Coal Ltd (ASX:PAK) Imagine Intelligent Materials - October Update

October 31, 2016, 3:31 pm
$

0
Pacific American Coal limited (ASX:PAK) is pleased to provide shareholders the latest Imagine Intelligent Materials (Imagine IM) update. PAK holds a 40% equity interest in Imagine IM, which forms the cornerstone of the Company's investment into technology companies. Imagine IM is focused on delivering value through the commercialisation of graphene based technologies.

In the Imagine IM October newsletter:

- First Sales Order
- Certification
- Awards
- People
- Imagine IM graphene plant
- Product Launch
- Capital Raising

First Sales Order

I am delighted to report that we have just received our first sales order for imgne(R) X3 masterbatch from Geofabrics. The leak detection application is for a coal seam gas tailings tank liner and will be installed early December. This critical step will require our product solutions to perform as well as or better than other solutions in the challenging physical environment that they are designed for.

Certification

Last week the Company excuted an MOU with Swinburne University in Melbourne to establish the Imagine Intelligent Materials Graphene Certification Centre. The process of product certification is at the heart of our licensing business model. We need to provide certification of materials throughout the supply chain, in order to develop and deliver a robust quality assurance regime and give confidence to our customers and licensees. This is what will enable us to build a significant licensing business.

Awards

In the last month Imagine IM received an Engineering Excellence Award from the AEEA for Innovation. The award was presented jointly to Imagine IM and Austeng, the engineering company contracted to provide design and engineering services to deliver our pilot graphene masterbatch plant.

In the last week we found we had been nominated for another award, from the World Technology Network, and this time in the category of "materials". The WTN has some stellar advisors and award recipients, including Elon Musk, Craig Venter and Andre Geim. Obviously I will keep you posted as and when there is anything to report.

People

David Rieser recently joined the company to work with me on business case development. Originally the intent was for this to be in a part time capacity. He has now agreed to assume a "whole of business management and operations" role - essentially to become COO. David has previously run manufacturing operations in the US and improved productivity for large companies Georgia Pacific Corporation. His first area of focus for Imagine IM will be to manage the optimisation of the Imagine IM plant to ensure it will meet anticipated orders for masterbatch, and that the plant itself will be able to be replicated for deployment as and when our first international sales contracts are executed.

This will enable Phil Aitchison, who has been both head of R&D and COO to focus on the company's R&D activities - an absolutely critical part of building enterprise value over the coming months/years.

Imagine IM graphene plant

As you know our plant is now operational. Our next goal is to improve materials throughput and efficiency and reduce unit cost so that we can generate the target level of margin. The current planning indicates that it will take until the middle of 2017 to bring the plant to its optimal productivity and masterbatch throughput.

Product Launch

The first geotextiles to be manufactured will be installed in early December at an Origin Energy coal seam gas operation in Queensland. We are treating this as a "beta" product release. We will be ensuring that we have our people on site during the installation to monitor every aspect of both installation and testing, which will provide important feedback for our production process.

Capital Raising

The company will need to raise further capital at the beginning of next year in order to continue funding existing operations and to provide additional capital expenditure for improving masterbatch throughput of the plant to enable fast turnaround of orders that we are anticipating from Geofabrics in the next 12 months. In addition we will need to bring the plant up to a specification where we can confidently manufacture samples of masterbatch suitable for different kinds of polymers that are in use by geotextile companies operating in some international markets. Our strategic intent is to identify financial partners/licensees to whom we will license manufacturing rights while maintaining the plant in Australia as a part of our research and development capability.

Atrum Coal NL (ASX:ATU) Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report

October 31, 2016, 4:24 pm

Atrum Coal NL ("Atrum" or the "Company") (ASX:ATU) (OTCMKTS:ATRCF) is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 30 September 2016.

HIGHLIGHTS

- Atrum secures an additional 42 coal licences from the British Columbia Government, following conversion of all license applications, for its Groundhog Anthracite Project, more than doubling the area of exclusive coal exploration and development rights.

- Atrum signs Joint Exploration Agreement with Japan Oil, Gas & Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) to conduct exploration work at Atrum's Panorama North coal tenure in the western area of the Groundhog North Project in British Columbia.

- Successful drilling program at Panorama North concludes in the Second Quarter with coal samples from four core holes being sent for testing.

- Atrum commenced due diligence regarding possible takeover of Atlantic Carbon Group PLC (ACG), however is no longer considering an acquisition of the shares in ACG.

- Atrum secures up to 100,000 tonnes of anthracite from ACG to sell to potential long term international customers.

Bob Bell, Executive Chairman of Atrum commented:

"It has been a very busy and productive Quarter for Atrum. The multi-year exploration agreement with JOGMEC to finance an exploration program at our Panorama North tenure is already paying dividends as we have been able to complete the first year drilling program. No drilling has ever been done in the Panorama North area before, other than shallow auger holes, and we look forward to releasing the results, after coal testing is complete, and to undertaking an expanded program in 2017 with the support of JOGMEC and our Aboriginal Partners."

"Atrum entered an agreement during the Quarter to acquire a 26.68 per cent stake in Atlantic Carbon Group PLC (ACG), a public, but unquoted, anthracite mining company operating in Pennsylvania, USA. The Company then advised ACG of its intention to conduct due diligence with the aim of making an offer for all the shares and warrants in the ACG. However, the tight timeframes required by the UK Takeover Code and the difficulty in conducting due diligence on various US subsidiaries has resulted in a decision by Atrum not to pursue the purchase of ACG shares and warrants either at a minority or controlling level. The Company is in discussions with ACG in relation to a possible alternative transaction involving ACG."

"Atrum secured the rights to sell up to 100,000 tonnes of anthracite from ACG. We arranged laboratory testing of the anthracite and the results, confirming its premium quality, have been sent to numerous European and North Asian anthracite buyers. The Company is now in discussions with rail and port operators to co-ordinate possible shipments to potential customers."

"During the Quarter, all of Atrum's Groundhog Anthracite Project coal license applications were converted to coal licenses by the British Columbia Government. Atrum now has considerable exclusive coal exploration and development rights and greater certainty with respect to future exploration planning."

Groundhog Anthracite Project

The Groundhog Anthracite Project is located in the Groundhog Coalfield in northwest British Columbia, Canada. Groundhog covers an area of more than 800km2. Groundhog is prospective for high grade and ultra-high grade anthracite suitable for use in the manufacture of blast furnace steel, as well as electric arc furnaces, as a reductant, filter media, and feedstock for chemical production. The Company has devised concept plans for multiple mines for development in the Groundhog Coalfield, beginning with the Groundhog North Mining Complex, feeding a common coal handling and preparation facility (CHPP).

Bulk Sample Project

As noted in the Company's prior Quarterly Report, in May 2016, Atrum was awarded a Bulk Sample and related permits required to support the commencement of mining activities at Groundhog North. These permits allow Atrum to extract a bulk sample of up to 100,000 tonnes of anthracite from Groundhog North. The ultra-high grade lump and fine anthracite produced from the bulk sample are expected to be sold to various international customers for trials in blast furnace and sinter plants, with the potential to provide a portion of the product for beneficiation for specialty industrial users. These customer trials will assist the Company to secure long-term offtake agreements for supply of Groundhog Ultra High Grade 10% ash anthracite.

During the Quarter, Atrum continued with its preparation planning for the bulk sample mining operations. Additionally, internal planning work advanced in relation to implementation of the Special Use Permit also awarded to Atrum, which enables Atrum to establish ground based site access.

Atrum continues to discuss offtake with multiple anthracite consumers, and has received a number of new enquiries from traditional ferrous industry participants, and more recently consumers of specialised anthracite products. The bulk sample will assist customers to assess the suitability of Groundhog Ultra-High grade anthracite in their processes. Potential customers are a key avenue for assisting to fund the development of the Phase 1 mine, and the Company now has several groups investigating the technical details of the Groundhog Project. Given the continuing strong demand for anthracite in the seaborne market, the Company is investigating various ways to accelerate the Company's projects and supply ultra-high grade anthracite that remains in short supply.

Conversion of Coal Applications to Licenses

Late in the Quarter, all of the Company's Groundhog Anthracite Project coal license applications were converted to coal licenses by the British Columbia Government. Groundhog covers an area exceeding 800km2, and now comprises 88 granted coal licences. The additional 42 licences granted this Quarter almost doubles the area available for active exploration to the Company.

Obtaining these new coal licences is another positive development providing considerable additional exclusive coal exploration and development rights in the Groundhog area. They also provide the Company with greater certainty with respect to exploration planning in these areas, which augers well for maximizing the overall potential of the Groundhog Anthracite Project in the future. This is because drilling and mechanical trench sampling are not permitted on license applications but are permitted on full licenses.

Panorama Projects

Atrum has three projects comprising its Panorama coal block, namely Panorama North, Panorama West and Panorama South, all situated southwest of Groundhog North (see Figure 1 in the link below). These three areas were previously explored in the early 1980's by Gulf Corporation (Canada), however Gulf's exploration efforts concentrated only on surface mapping, trenching and shallow auger drilling. The culmination of this phase of exploration was the declaration by Gulf of significant exploration targets for shallowly emplaced anthracite deposits.

The total area of all three Panorama Projects is 25,127 hectares. Panorama North has a total area of 7,359 hectares. Based on the value of JOGMEC's investment under the recently signed Panorama North Joint Exploration Agreement (discussed below), the implied current value of the three Panorama Projects combined is estimated at approximately A$50 Million.

Panorama North Joint Exploration Agreement

As announced on 29 August 2016, Atrum and its wholly owned subsidiary, Atrum Coal Panorama Inc., entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement with JOGMEC. Partnering with such a respected corporation as JOGMEC will assist Atrum to accelerate exploration at its Panorama North Project.

Historical exploration indicates Panorama North is highly prospective for anthracite. The focus of the next stage of exploration at Panorama North will be to build upon historical exploration and to begin quantifying the resource potential of this area. If successful, the three years of exploration will support future feasibility work, helping to establish Panorama North as another development zone within the Groundhog coalfield.

First Drilling Program at Panorama North Concludes

Subsequent to quarter-end, on October 6th, exploration drilling under the JOGMEC Agreement commenced at Panorama North. This quick start to exploration enabled Atrum to undertake a limited program of about two weeks' duration intended to produce early results confirming the prospects for anthracite coal in select drill areas. It also provided an opportunity for Atrum to further develop relationships with the Aboriginal Groups whose traditional territories overlap the Panorama North tenure.

Atrum employed two drill rigs which completed almost 1200 metres of fully cored diamond drilling in four holes. Shallow coal seams were intersected, including a seam with total vertical thickness of 2.30 metres, occurring at 12 metres depth. Two seams within the boreholes have similar geophysical signatures to the Duke E seam which is the primary economic target at Groundhog North. With field work concluded on October 21st, the cores will now be sent for further laboratory testing and analysis.

With the encouraging results from this initial program, the Company and JOGMEC intend to commence discussions regarding a 2017 drilling program, covering a wider area. Reengagement with our Aboriginal partners in this process will also be undertaken.

Anthracite Market Update

Global anthracite markets remain undersupplied, and market prices for anthracite are strengthening. Current prices for imported anthracite are approximately US$165/t for lumps and US$125/t for fines as illustrated in Figure 3 (see the link below). Recent metallurgical coal price increases are expected to put upward pressure on seaborne anthracite pricing. The benchmark coking coal price for premium hard coking coal price for the October quarter, widely reported in the coal industry, more than doubled from the previous level to US$200/tonne FOB Queensland which increases the value of anthracite as a coke replacement product.

CORPORATE

Acquisition of Shares and Takeover of Atlantic Carbon Group PLC On 4 August 2016, Atrum announced it had entered into an agreement related to the proposed acquisition of a 26.68% interest in Atlantic Carbon Group PLC ("ACG"). ACG is an unlisted public company registered in the United Kingdom and operates three high grade and ultra-high grade anthracite mines in northeast Pennsylvania, USA. On 15 August 2016, Atrum issued an ASX release providing further background on ACG.

The acquisition was subject to conditions including, inter alia, further due diligence, funding and Atrum shareholder approval. At an Extraordinary General Meeting held 29 September 2016, the required shareholder approval was granted.

On 20 September 2016, the Company announced that it had approached ACG in relation to making a possible takeover offer for all of the shares issued by ACG. Under the UK City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, following an application to the UK Takeover Panel, Atrum had until 5pm on 26 October 2016 (UK time) before it was required to either announce its intention to proceed with the takeover offer (and announce the terms of the offer) or announce that no offer would be submitted.

Due to the time constraints of the UK City Code and the difficulty in sourcing information from regulators in relation to ACG's US subsidiaries, the Company announced on 27 October 2016 that no offer will be submitted for all of the shares of ACG and that it has terminated the agreement to purchase a 26.68% minority stake. As of the end of October, the Company is in discussions with ACG in relation to a possible alternative transaction involving ACG.

Option Secured for 100K tonnes of Anthracite from ACG

On 11 August 2016, Atrum announced it had entered into an option agreement with ACG wherein ACG would make available up to 100,000 tonnes of anthracite to Atrum to sell to potential customers in Europe, South America and Asia. Net profits generated by the sale will be split on a 50/50 basis. This agreement allows Atrum to start selling anthracite into target export markets prior to development of the flagship Groundhog Project and while these markets are undersupplied and anthracite prices increasing.

Atrum Coal NL (ASX:ATU) (OTCMKTS:ATRCF) is pleased to provide the company's Annual Report 2016 to shareholders.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

Company Overview

The company is an emerging metallurgical coal explorer and developer. The Company has a substantial coal position in British Columbia, Canada which, as a region boasts:

- Abundance of high quality anthracite coals

- Well-developed rail and port infrastructure with excess capacity

- Access to deep sea ports

- Competitive shipping distance to Asia

- Positive government stance on mining

Atrum is developing the world's largest high grade anthracite deposit at Groundhog, which has a JORC resource of 1.57 billion tonnes of anthracite. Our Board of Directors and Management Team have a strong track record in identifying and developing world-class coal assets.

Groundhog Project, British Columbia - Background

The Groundhog Anthracite Project (Groundhog) is located in the Groundhog Coalfield in the northern part of the Bowser Basin in north-western British Columbia, approximately 890km northwest of Vancouver, 150km northeast of Stewart, and 300km northeast of Prince Rupert. The project is located near key mining infrastructure including rail, port, road, power and water facilities. It is 150km north-east of a deep-sea port in the town of Stewart.

Groundhog now comprises 88 granted coal licenses covering an area of more than 800km2. Fortytwo (42) of these licenses were converted from license applications in September 2016. Our tenements are prospective for high-grade and ultra-high-grade anthracite suitable for use in blast furnace steelmaking, the manufacture of specialty steels and alloys in electric arc furnaces, as filter media, feedstock for chemical production and an economic alternative to graphite for industrial applications.

Operational activities

Bulk Sample Permit

A significant achievement for Atrum this year was securing the permits necessary to allow the mining of up to 100,000 tonnes of anthracite from Groundhog North (refer to ASX Announcement dated 9 May 2016 'Bulk Sample Permit Received' for further information). Granted in May 2016, two key permits included:

(a) an amendment to Atrum's Mineral & Coal Exploration Activities and Reclamation Permit (also known as "Bulk Sample Permit") to mine the bulk sample; and

(b) a Special Use Permit to use an existing railbed subgrade for land access to move equipment to the mine site and to transport the sample to the railway connection point.

Receipt of these permits has enabled Atrum to advance more detailed planning of the bulk sample mining activities, with a total bulk sample size of up to 100,000 tonnes approved for extraction by surface and underground mining methods to supply customers' trial cargoes of Groundhog Ultra High Grade anthracite. The ultra-high grade lump and fine anthracite produced from the bulk sample are expected to be sold to customers for trials in blast furnace and sinter plants, with the potential to provide a portion of the product for beneficiation for specialty industrial users. These customer trials will assist the Company to secure long-term offtake agreements for supply of Groundhog Ultra High Grade anthracite.

Preliminary works, including engineering design, contractor selection and commercial discussions with the rail provider, are underway. Ground access to Groundhog will aid in reducing operating costs and creating the initial supply chain to the market place and customers.

Exploration

Exploration activities focused on consolidating knowledge of the two key economic target seams, namely the Discovery B seam and the lower Duke E seam. Significantly improved float sink yields for the Duke E seam (yields ~80%, compared to previous average yields of ~60%) were identified in the Eastern Resource Block of Groundhog North that provide the potential for economic development once the area has been further explored.

Additional field mapping undertaken in the September Quarter 2015 identified more outcropping anthracite seams, this time very close to the planned Bulk Sample area. Geological interpretation, sampling and coinciding quality results validated it as the Duke E seam.

Updated Pre-Feasibility Study

The Company completed an updated Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), which includes underground mines in the Discovery B and Duke E horizons, and low cost highwall options in Discovery B and Duke E seams (refer to ASX Announcement dated 22 June 2016 'Updated Pre-Feasibility Study' for further information).

A phased approach to entering into production is included in the development plan for Groundhog North, commencing with a low capital cost mine of 880,000 saleable tonnes per year (Phase 1).

The smaller Phase 1 mine will allow the Company to:

- Establish operations in the area;

- Prove the logistics chain for transporting larger amounts of product;

- Continue to develop long term and sustainable relationships with the Company's Aboriginal Partners;

- Train Aboriginal and local personnel to build a workforce that will support sustainable, longterm operations;

- Establish customer channels;

- Investigate alternative high value markets;

- Increase debt funding potential for the larger mine development, providing superior shareholder returns by leveraging greater debt servicing ratios from cash reserves;

- Generate early cash flows, not just for the Company, but for local families, contractors, communities, and government; and

- Build credibility with a range of key stakeholders, including parties interested in the Company's growth and value potential.

The Company has started engaging with potential strategic investors in relation to funding the bulk sample extraction and, subject to permitting, a low capital cost Phase 1 mine development. Another option being considered by the Company at present is for a low cost 250,000tpa mine following the outcropping and shallow Duke E seam. This will be progressed in the coming year.

Panorama North Project, British Columbia

The Panorama North Project is approximately 15km southwest and contiguous with the Groundhog Project in British Columbia, Canada. It comprises 12 granted coal licenses over an area of approximately 7,359 hectares. Until last month, no drilling has been conducted in this area with the exception of shallow auger holes. Under JORC 2012 Guidelines, it is considered an area of interest only. The entire Panorama area comprises 30 coal licenses covering an area of 27,970 hectares including Panorama North, Panorama South and Panorama West.

On 29 August 2016 the Company announced it entered into a Joint Exploration Agreement (JEA) with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC). Under the agreement, JOGMEC will spend up to C$5.0 Million in cash or in kind over three years in return for an up to 35% equitable interest in the Panorama North Project. A small drilling program was completed at Panorama North over a four-week period in October 2016 and the Company looks forward to providing results later in the year.

OtherLevels Holdings Limited (ASX:OLV) ("OtherLevels") is pleased to announce that the past 2 months (September and October 2016) have seen:

- An Increase in sales and adoption of Web Push messaging

- First sale of Action Engine, OtherLevels real-time messaging content option

- Strong billings across the two months of $1.038m

Web push is the use of push notifications across the desktop and mobile web. OtherLevels is now able to sell to customers starting firstly in a web environment, rather than with a mobile app. This means a much broader range of potential customers for OtherLevels. Customer sectors included publishing and wagering.

The first sale of Action Engine, demonstrates that customers want to be able to engage their audiences 'in the moment', wherever they may be. Action Engine lets customers create real-time fresh and compelling messaging experiences, which leads to more successful campaign outcomes.

September and October 2016, saw strong billings of $1.038m, with sales in the UK, US and Australia. The Company is seeing a strong rebound in UK sales activity with a deepening pipeline, and FY Q3 and Q4 represent strong quarters for existing customer renewals.

Brendan O'Kane, the OtherLevels CEO commented, "This was a great two months after the northern summer. It provides us with real momentum as we head towards year end, before a busy first two quarters of 2017. What was particularly pleasing were the Web Push sales, and the first sale of Action Engine. These generate increased messages and further licence fees, and result in OtherLevels being more deeply integrated into our customer's messaging ecosystem. This in turn strengthens our long term partnerships with these customers."

Emefcy Group Limited (ASX:EMC), a provider of innovative, high effluent quality wastewater treatment solutions, has been listed as one of the Top 10 Technologies at WEFTEC by Water Online's Editor, Kevin Westerling, for its Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR).

Editor, Kevin Westerling, covers the top 10 technologies that "stood out from the masses, exceptional for their level of innovation and potential for industry impact."

Emefcy presented its MABR based wastewater treatment solution at WEFTEC 2016 in September. The company's innovative technology is the ideal solution for decentralized small-medium sized plants, for reuse applications or for safe discharge to the environment.

As reported by Westerling, Emefcy is the first to commercialize MABR technology, reducing energy consumption by up to 90% and sludge yield by 50%, compared to conventional aerobic wastewater treatment, with minimum operator involvement. The scalable modules allow gradual expansion according to the plant's requirements, and the system is odorless and quiet, making it suitable for rural villages, sustainable buildings, hotels, resorts and golf courses.

Emefcy recently launched its first operational plant in the Jezreel Valley, Israel and will soon launch plants in the US Virgin Islands and at the Ayder Hospital in Ethiopia. Watch an explanatory clip about Emefcy's MABR technology on YouTube (http://www.abnnewswire.net/lnk/4U960VJ4).

Emefcy Group Limited (ASX:EMC) ("Emefcy") is pleased to announce the signing of a distribution & deployment partnership for Emefcy's Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor ("MABR") based wastewater treatment solutions with Jiangsu Jinzi Environmental Technology Company, Ltd. ("Jinzi"), a leading environmental protection company focusing on the design, building and operation of wastewater treatment systems for rural communities in the Central and Southern Provinces of China. The memorandum of understanding with Jinzi will open access to several key southern provinces in China.

This is the third Chinese relationship that the Company has entered into in recent months; a testament to the growing recognition of Emefcy's technology as a credible solution to China's need for scalable, cost effective, energy-efficient wastewater treatment solutions in rural areas.

The program roll-out will begin with an immediate MABR deployment with a treatment capacity of 20,000 litres per day at a technical college in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. The system is planned to demonstrate the ability of the technology to meet Class 1A effluent quality at low operating costs. Once regional certification is achieved, the partnership allows Jinzi to deploy Emefcy plants in regions where total potential demand for Emefcy product under the current Five Year Plan amounts to an estimated A$2.5B.

Jinzi operates in several Provinces including Zhejiang, Guizhou, Fujian and Ningxia, and has already installed approximately 1,000 wastewater treatment plants in China. Jinzi plans to apply the MABR technology in larger wastewater treatment plants; with each treating a projected 100 -200 m3/day, addressing a population of 56 million who do not have access to wastewater treatment services.

"We are excited to team up with Jinzi to deploy the most efficient wastewater treatment solution in the market today. Jinzi brings hands-on market and project execution experience to enable rapid deployment of MABR systems throughout the Southern Provinces," said Richard Irving, Executive Chairman of Emefcy. Jinzi intends to deploy MABR-based wastewater treatment systems to rural communities throughout Central and Southern China. For all joint future contracts, Jinzi will purchase MABR modules from Emefcy, integrate them under Emefcy's technical guidance into a complete treatment system and provide ongoing plant maintenance and related services.

The Emefcy MABR modules initially will be produced at the Company's manufacturing facility in Israel, and are scheduled to ship before the end of this calendar quarter. Emefcy, as previously announced, is in the process of seeking license approvals and establishing manufacturing facilities in Jiangsu Province. The first manufacturing line in China is anticipated to be in place by the second quarter of calendar 2017.

The first Jinzi installed MABR-based system is scheduled to be commissioned during the first quarter of 2017.

"We have been building and operating wastewater treatment systems for many years and have not seen such an effective biological treatment technology until now," said Mr. Xie, President of Jinzi. "What impresses us about Emefcy's MABR system is the highly effective yet simple design of the membrane, which uses minimal energy to deliver the highest oxygen content to the biofilm layer, resulting in the lowest operating cost and most importantly meeting class 1A discharge guidelines for the China market."

Jiangsu Jinzi Environmental Technology Company. Ltd.

Jiangsu Jinzi Environmental Technology Company Ltd ("Jinzi") was founded in 2006. Jinzi is a high technology company delivering environmental protection technology and solutions. As an EPC company, Jinzi focuses on the design, build and operation of rural wastewater treatment plants.
