Nevada Zinc Reports on Majority Owned Generic Gold Corp's Exploration Update on Its Goodman Gold Project
DGAP-News: Nevada Zinc Corporation / Key word(s): Miscellaneous
14.12.2017 / 06:01
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
--------------------
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 14, 2017) - Nevada Zinc Corporation (TSXV: NZN) ('Nevada Zinc' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce that majority owned Generic Gold Corporation ('Generic Gold') has provided the Company with an update on exploration activities completed at the Goodman and Seattle projects, approximately 40 kilometres northwest of Mayo and immediately southwest of Victoria Gold's Eagle Gold project, Yukon Territory. The Company owns 25 million shares (approximately 75% of the issued and outstanding shares) of Generic Gold.
The work completed during the 2017 field season consisted of reverse circulation drilling, induced polarization ('IP') geophysics, soil sampling, prospecting, and geological mapping. Additionally, the land positions at the Goodman project and the nearby Seattle project were significantly increased, and a NI-43-101compliant technical report was completed. A summary of the highlights of the work completed can be seen in the accompanying map *(*link to figure 1*)*.
President and CEO of Nevada Zinc, Bruce Durham commented: 'When we initially acquired the main block of Goodman claims in 2010 there was virtually no history of exploration in the entire area west of the Victoria Gold property despite the fact that the Goodman property covered the headwaters of a number of gold bearing placer creeks. Solid exploration programs by us, and now Generic Gold, have resulted in the definition of a significant extension to the structural domains on the Victoria Gold property for kilometres farther to the west through the Goodman property. Numerous gold exploration targets have been defined on the property, the first of which were drill tested this year. This drilling was the first ever completed on this camp scale project located immediately adjacent to the southwest of Victoria Gold's Eagle gold deposit. Of particular importance is the fact that significant disseminated sulphides were discovered in association with quartz vein material in several locations'.
The Goodman project covers an area of roughly 19 x 5 kilometres, located 40 kilometres northwest of Mayo, and is accessible by a government maintained all-season road. The project is contiguous with Victoria Gold's Eagle Gold Project (Proven & Probable Reserves 2.67Moz Au (Victoria Gold Corp. Feasibility Study, October 26, 2016)), along the interpreted extension of the Potato Hills Trend. The Goodman property includes claims inside the Victoria Gold property very close to and covering the extension of the historic Peso silver mine adit. The Goodman property is also proximal to Alexco Resource's Keno Hill Silver District project and Golden Predator's Gold Dome project.
The 2017 work program consisted of:
*NI-43-101 Technical Report*
· Carl Schulze, P.Geo, of Aurora Geosciences completed an independent technical Property of Merit report on the Goodman Project on October 13, 2017.
· The report determined that the Goodman Project represents a 'property of merit' due to widespread geochemical anomalies, potential geological setting, and proximity to the Eagle and Olive zones within the adjoining Dublin Gulch property held by Victoria Gold Corp. Mr. Schulze determined that the results of geochemical sampling to date indicate a gold +/- silver bearing system, with an associated pathfinder element signature, typical of Intrusion-Related Gold mineralization.
· The recommendations of the report included: ground-based geophysics, including magnetic, VLF, and IP; continued extension of the existing soil sampling grids; geological mapping, prospecting, and trenching; a study on gold grains from proximal placer mining sites; and RC drilling.
· This report will be filed on SEDAR by Generic* *Gold.
*Induced Polarization Geophysical Survey*
· A high-resolution IP survey was completed in the Murphy's Creek area of the Goodman project. Eighteen chargeable anomalies were identified, some of which are directly coincident with geochemical anomalies identified in previous exploration campaigns.
*Reverse Circulation Drilling (RC)*
· An RC drilling program was completed following receipt of both the Goodman 43-101 technical report and the IP survey results. Eleven drill holes were completed for 850 metres of drilling, targeting high priority geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Drilling intersected significant intervals of alteration (silica, sericite, carbonate) along with quartz veining and disseminated sulfides (dominantly pyrite, with lesser arsenopyrite and stibnite).
*Soil sampling, prospecting, and geological mapping*
· Soil sampling and prospecting was undertaken in underexplored areas of the large property, while follow-up grid sampling and geological mapping was conducted in areas identified as anomalous in previous exploration campaigns. A total of 71 rock samples and 333 soil samples were taken during the duration of the field program.
*Staking*
· The land position at Goodman and the neighbouring Seattle property were significantly expanded by 51 and 96 quartz claims, respectively.
· The combined land package at the two properties is now roughly 12,000 hectares, or 574 Quartz claims.
Results are pending and will be released by the Company once they have been received from Generic Gold.

*About Nevada Zinc*
Nevada Zinc is a discovery driven, early-stage mineral exploration company with a proven management team focussed on identifying unique opportunities in mineral exploration that can provide significant value to its shareholders.
While the Company continues to maintain a significant equity interest in the highly prospective Yukon gold properties through its majority ownership position in Generic Gold Corporation ('Generic Gold'), the current focus of the Company is the exploration and advancement of the Lone Mountain Zinc Project comprised of 224 claims covering approximately 4,000 acres near Eureka, Nevada.
The Lone Mountain Zinc Project is located in east-central Nevada and is easily accessible via paved and gravel roads northwesterly from Eureka where all essential services are available. The Project includes options, leases or purchase agreements to acquire 100% interests in all properties along the key structural trend for more than 4 kilometres.
The Company has completed 83 reverse circulation drill holes on its Lone Mountain Zinc Project and recently completed an initial 13 hole core drilling program on the property. Results from the RC drilling programs showed numerous broad intervals of medium to high grade non-sulphide zinc mineralization in two locations where the zinc mineralization is located between surface and a depth of approximately 250 metres.
The Company also recently obtained the right under an option agreement to earn up to an 80% interest in the MacBride Zinc Project in northern Manitoba (see the Company's press release dated October 23, 2017).

Author Barry Koplen’s “Why The Last Capitol of The Confederacy Became A Capital Attraction” Wins Best of Los Angeles Award for “Best Historical Education Book” 2017
Author Barry M Copeland’s book “Why The Last Capitol of The Confederacy Became A Capital Attraction” won the Best of Los Angeles Award for “Best Historical Education Book” 2017 according to Aurora DeRose, award coordinator for the Best of Los Angeles Award community (https://www.facebook.com/BestofLosAngelesAwards/).
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) December 14, 2017
Award-winning author and publisher Barry M. Koplen released his latest historical book, “Why The Last Capitol of The Confederacy Became A Capital Attraction,” in May of this last summer. The book depicts the revival of the historical downtown of Danville, Virginia as seen through the eyes of the men and women who made that possible. Long considered dead, Danville’s downtown has experienced a resurgence that rivals that of many southern cities, even larger ones, because of its wealth of structures that have provided block after block of living history. During the eighteen months spent writing Why The Last Capital Of The Confederacy Became A Capital Attraction, Koplen has tracked Danville’s resurgence in ways that explain why the population of the downtown has gone from near zero to more than 1400 residents. The book was met with rave reviews from readers across the country immediately after its release:
"What a exceptionally told story of a historical city’s history and recent resurgence, with great illustrations! Koplen really captures the vitality that has become an irresistible feature of historical downtown Danville!" Julie Benson - Denver, CO
“Reading ‘Why the Last Capitol of the Confederacy Became A Capitol Attraction' is like a Ken Burns adventure into an epic story of grandeur. The people involved come alive with Mr. Koplen's narration and rich pictures. When he takes you into an antebellum building, the imagination jumps. The future leaps from the pages as you look & 'listen' to the men & women responsible for Danville's transformation. A fascinating and fun read!” John Andrews – Los Angeles, CA
"This book is a great read and a joy to roam through. Koplen takes us through the countless phases of Danville’s history and prominence, and which can also be seen as a microcosm as the trajectory of most American historical cities.” - Edward Hasgard – Westfield, MA
The “Best of Los Angeles Award” community was formed three years ago and consists of over 3,700 professional members living and working in Southern California. It celebrates the best people, places and things in Los Angeles with a slogan “No Ads. No B.S. Only the Best.”
“The mission of the community is to celebrate the best of Los Angeles, and allow its community members to connect with other members who share the highest standards of quality and integrity,” said DeRose.
"I am honored to receive this award from the Best of Los Angeles," says Copeland. "I worked hard to write an interesting and informative book on the complex resurgence of one of the most historical and unique places in our country."

InventHelp Inventor Redesigns Sofa for Ease in Moving (DPH-213)
Pittsburgh-based InventHelp, a leading inventor service company, is submitting this client’s idea, SU CASA FURNITURE in the hopes of a good faith review.
PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) December 15, 2017
An inventor from Aurora, Colo., has developed the SU CASA FURNITURE, an improved sofa design that can be assembled and disassembled for easier moving. Additionally, it can be modified into a sectional by adding one additional piece. A prototype is available.
"Sofas can be found in almost any living space, but they often stay unmoved due to the bulkiness and weight. My invention will provide users with the luxury of easily moving and transporting a couch as needed," said the inventor. The SU CASA FURNITURE disassembles into manageable pieces and reassembles easily. Users can more easily move the couch from one location to another without the weight and struggle associated with moving a standard couch. This, in turn, reduces strain on the body and back. In addition, it prevents damage to walls or doorways due to the bulkiness of standard sofa designs. Individuals living in small apartments or houses will appreciate the versatility of this item, as well as professional movers and moving companies.
The original design was submitted to the Denver office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 16-DPH-213, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

DIGITAL HEALTH BRIEFING: Microsoft developing health chatbot platform — Lifespan aims to cut $182 million in costs with GE partnership — Hitachi working to reduce hospital readmissions
Welcome to Digital Health Briefing, a new morning email providing the latest news, data, and insight on how digital technology is disrupting the healthcare ecosystem, produced by BI Intelligence.*Sign up and receive Digital Health Briefing free to your inbox.*
Have feedback? We'd like to hear from you. Write me at: lbeaver@businessinsider.com
--------------------
*MICROSOFT IS TESTING ITS NEW HEALTH CHATBOT PLATFORM: *The tech giant is developing the platform as a part of its Healthcare NExT program and has partnered with Aurora Health Care to create the Aurora Digital Assistant, a new chatbot service that aims to demonstrate how digital assistants can benefit not only patients but healthcare providers and networks, too. Currently, the platform is being privately previewed to Microsoft's new partners.
*Microsoft hopes the service will help make it easier for users to access medical info from their smartphones.* Aurora patients can “text” the digital assistant in a conversational manner via an app, answering a series of questions relating to their ailment. The assistant uses these responses to determine the type of care the patient may need and when they need it. The patient can then use the app to schedule an appointment with an appropriate doctor.
*For healthcare providers, AI-integrated services, like chatbots, are showing great potential to make healthcare more efficient. *They can help cut costs associated with processes including triage, admissions, reimbursements, and others. For example, insurers can use chatbots to make it easier for potential and existing customers to look up plans, or the status of a claim. Healthcare providers could save just over four minutes per inquiry by 2022 or $8 billion in savings, according to Juniper research. That’s up from $20 million in 2017.
*Although the current utility of chatbots in healthcare is limited, there is growing interest from a range of US medical providers that have shown interest in Microsoft’s efforts.* These include Premier Blue Cross, the largest health plan in Pacific Northwest, and UPMC, a leading US integrated healthcare delivery network, according to Microsoft.
*LIFESPAN PARTNERS WITH GE HEALTHCARE TO CUT COSTS: *Lifespan, the Rhode Island-based hospital system, is partnering with GE Healthcare in an effort to reduce $182 million in costs over the next six years. In what is being dubbed a shared-risk model, GE Healthcare will only be paid once certain outcomes are achieved. These outcomes likely fall under improving patient flow, increasing capacity for services, decreasing wait times, improving efficiencies, and ultimately reducing costs. In order to achieve these outcomes, GE Healthcare plans to lean heavily on digital health technology, including data analytics and tools. This is GE Healthcare's fifth shared-risk model partnership in the US — all of which were initiated in recent months. This appears to be part of two growing trends. Hospitals are beginning to adjust to the digitization of the healthcare system by adopting the latest technologies. However, they are also not completely sold that these technologies can achieve all of the positive outcomes being marketed which explains the shared-risk model.
*HITACHI AND PARTNERS HEALTHCARE TO USE AI TO LOWER HOSPITAL READMISSIONS: *Japanese technology company Hitachi has partnered with Partners Healthcare’s Connected Health group to develop artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools to predict and prevent hospital readmission in patients with heart failure, according to HIT Consultant. The AI algorithm that they developed uses a form of machine learning that can highlight critical factors that lead it to identify a patient as being at high risk for readmission. This gives hospital personnel the opportunity to take steps to mitigate that risk. Researchers working on the algorithm tested it by using it on data from over 12,000 heart failure patients who were discharged, comparing its predictions to what actually happened. Preventing hospital readmissions is a critical metric for hospitals — too high a readmission rate can lead to penalties under the Affordable Care Act and can cost payers well over $10,000 per incident. Using AI-powered tools to prevent readmissions can help hospitals and insurers to reduce costs and improve outcomes.
*MERCY JOINS AVIA INNOVATOR NETWORK TO IMPROVE INNOVATION:* Mercy Health, the largest health system in Ohio, announced that it has joined the AVIA Innovator Network to gain insights into digital innovation. AVIA is a network of over 24 health systems across the US and the UK that have partnered to accelerate the identification, adoption, and circulation of highly impactful digital strategies. Through these collaborations, AVIA has been able to create a field-tested methodology to enable health systems to develop an innovation blueprint. While only 10% of providers and payers were actively executing digital transformation initiatives as of March, that number is expected to reach 42% among providers in the next year, according to an IDC survey cited by HealthcareITNews.
*In other news…*
· The *FCC* voted to repeal 2015’s Open Internet Order, which established net neutrality regulations on Thursday, according to TechCrunch. The decision will likely impact the deployment of telemedicine in the US, however, parties disagree whether the effects will be positive or negative.
· *MassChallenge*, a non-profit startup accelerator, has named 32 startups to participate in PULSE 2018, its digital health program, AmericanInno reports. The program aims to partner startups with healthcare institutions, systems, and payers to better achieve milestone goals.

InventHelp Inventor Develops Enhanced Cutting Board
InventHelp, founded in 1984 in Pittsburgh, is attempting to submit this idea, the Cutting Board Pro, to applicable companies for their consideration.
PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) December 15, 2017
"I needed a better cutting board that would keep my work area neat and clean while allowing me to slice up food items efficiently," said an inventor from Aurora, Colo.
He developed the CUTTING BOARD PRO to allow the cutting board to be elevated above the countertop. The design makes it easier to slice and chop various food items. It allows for safer food preparation. The accessory ensures that liquids drain away from the work area to keep the cutting surface clean. The unit keeps the countertop and surrounding area neat and tidy. Additionally, it limits waste and increases yield as well as increases efficiency of food preparation according to the inventor.
The original design was submitted to the Denver office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

The Marine Corps just successfully tested a fully autonomous helicopter
· *The US Marine Corps just finished testing a fully autonomous helicopter that can conduct missions start to finish without ever being piloted — even remotely.*· *The aircraft could potentially be used to re-supply and reinforce units in hot zones.*
· *The technology itself is a kit, meaning it could possibly be integrated onto other platforms in the future.*
--------------------MARINE CORPS BASE QUANTICO, Va. (NNS) -- Autonomy options for the Marine Corps have taken a major step forward, as ONR officials announced Dec. 13, a successful final helicopter flight demonstration with autonomous capability at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, part of the Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility System (AACUS) program.
AACUS is a partnership between the Office of Naval Research and technology company Aurora Flight Sciences and will enable the Marine Corps to rapidly resupply forces on the front lines using cutting-edge technology sponsored by ONR.
The system consists of a sensor and software package that can be integrated into any manned or unmanned rotary-wing aircraft to detect and avoid obstacles (like telephone wires, other vehicles or large ground objects) in unfavorable weather conditions or to facilitate autonomous, unmanned flight.
This capability will be a welcome alternative to dangerous convoys or manned aircraft missions in all types of weather.
"This is more than just an unmanned helicopter," said Dr. Walter Jones, ONR executive director. "AACUS is an autonomy kit that can be placed on any rotary-wing platform and provide it with an autonomous capability. Imagine a Marine Corps unit deployed in a remote location, in rough terrain, needing ammunition, water, batteries or even blood."
"With AACUS, an unmanned helicopter takes the supplies from the base, picks out the optimal route and best landing site closest to the warfighters, lands and returns to base once the resupply is complete-all with the single touch of a handheld tablet."
The need for this capability surfaced during Marine Corps operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, experts say. Cargo helicopters and resupply convoys of trucks bringing fuel, food, water, ammunition and medical supplies to the front lines frequently found themselves under fire from adversaries, or the target of roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices.
AACUS is designed for simple use; an operator with minimal training can call up the supplies needed and order the flights using only an intuitive handheld tablet.
During the Dec. 13, demonstration tests at Quantico, a Marine with no prior experience with the technology was given a handheld device and 15 minutes of training.
The Marine was able to quickly and easily program in the supplies needed and the destination, and the helicopters arrived quickly-even autonomously selecting an alternative landing site based on last-second no-fly-zone information added in from the Marine. The demonstration featured a UH-1 "Huey" flying autonomously on multiple missions.
"We've developed this great capability ahead of requirements and it's up to us to determine how to use it," said Lt. Gen. Robert Walsh, commanding general, Marine Corps Combat Development Command. "The young Marines today have grown up in a tech-savvy society, which is an advantage. We've got to keep pushing and moving this technology forward."
Officials say AACUS represents a leap-ahead technology for the Marine Corps and Navy, moving unmanned flights far beyond the current standard, which requires a specialized operator to select a landing site and manually control an unmanned aircraft via remote.
"AACUS gives revolutionary capability to our fleet and force," said Dennis Baker, AACUS program manager. "It can be used as a pilot aid to operate in GPS- and communications-denied arenas or allow fully autonomous flights in contested environments-keeping our pilots and crews out of harm's way."
