Over 10 ounces of silver over 6 meters.
2nd hole of 8000m program
Followed up with SM20-03, designed to be the deepest hole ever drilled on the property.
Fabled Silver Gold Corp. (TSXV: FCO) (FSE: 7NQ) (“Fabled” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the second diamond drill hole from the on-going 8,000 meter drill program on the Santa Maria Property in Parral, Mexico, with assays from two additional holes pending.
Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President, remarks, “As expected, the sulphide contents of the Santa Maria vein and structure has increased and intercepted over 10 ounces of silver over 6 meters. These exceptional high- grade results intercepted at -145 meters vertically below surface will be followed up by hole SM20-03 which was designed to hit the Santa Maria structure at a vertical depth of -350 meters below surface which will be the deepest hole ever drilled on the property.”
Peter Hawley continues, “The data being obtained from this fence of drill holes will not only target adding silver ounces to the overall resource but also allow us to interpret and model the behavior of this robust mineralized system for future drill hole success.”

Drill holes SM20-01, SM20-02 and SM20-03 are drilled on the same section with holes 02 and 03 targeting the sulphide intercept of the Santa Maria vein and structure, which is typically higher in grade due to metal values not being leached out by surface ground waters as commonly seen in oxide zones.

On October 1st, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) and Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) issued a press release in which they stated:
“As outlined in joint whistleblower guidance published today, the OSC and IIROC have reason to believe that certain market participants may be engaged in abusive short selling practices.”
and then announced this MASSIVE BOUNTY on predatory short sellers:
“Those who provide information to the OSC Whistleblower Program may be eligible for awards of up to $5 million for tips that lead to an OSC enforcement action.”
What effect has this had on the smallcap markets? Let’s look at the TSX Venture Index
On behalf of all small cap issuers, investors and service providers, we’re grateful to the OSC and IIROC for stepping up and putting their foot down.
However, none of this would have happened if it were not for the efforts of “Save Canadian Mining”, the lobbyist/advocacy group founded by Terry Lynch and backed by industry giants such as Eric Sprott, Sean Roosen, Keith Neumeyer and Rob McEwen and 3,000 + small cap investors who wrote the cheques necessary to hire the experts and analysts to help SCM make their case.
As such, if your Canadian small cap stock or stocks have appreciated nicely over the past 2 1/2 months without being hit by predatory short seller attacks, we should all be thanking SCM for their relentless and tireless work.
To this end, we were happy to interview Terry Lynch to find out if this 8 year nightmare is over and what final steps they are hoping to achieve with the Ontario Provincial Government, OSC, IIROC and CSA over the next 90 days to finally put an end to this. Watch this great interview.

If you think it’s too late in the year to get planting, think again. Gardening experts suggest planting certain trees, flowers, grass, produce and flower bulbs in the fall for maximum output, come spring. This all does heavily depend on the specific plant, however, as well as your location and climate so do some research to be sure. Now, as much as we miss the smell of Home Depot’s garden center, making fewer non-essential trips to crowded stores is key to keeping cases of you-know-what down. Instead, take advantage of these great online plant delivery and garden box services that will send seeds, seedlings, flower bulbs, chutes and even full-grown plants along with instructions for care, gardening accessories and safe growing chemicals to your door.
Indoor plants are always in season, of course, and these online plant marketplaces stock potted plants, ferns, flowers and succulents a-plenty that will brighten any corner, shelf or window sill. You can buy common and exotic plants, both as well tropical plants and most of them in a variety of sizes — from mini cacti to large plants that will anchor an entire room. Better yet, these popular online plant vendors like Bloomscape and The Sill tell you which plants are hard to kill in case plant-care is not your forte.
For the green-thumbed, buying quality seeds, bulbs and chutes online from these plant and garden box subscription services will help maximize your garden’s yield. Many of them function as sprawling online bulb, plant and seed marketplaces, but if you’re indecisive like me, you can simply input your growing goals and sign up for a monthly subscription and receive shipments of flowering plants, seeds, bulbs and gardening gear sent to your home. Every garden is different, of course, and so most of these plant delivery and garden subscription services take steps to find out both what you’d like to grow and where you plan to grow it. Whether it’s pretty flowers and houseplants or outdoor plants and produce you want, they will tailor your plant delivery to help you nail the garden of your dreams.
Don’t have an outdoor growing space or garden at all? Don’t worry: There is a slew of urban gardens and mini-farm stands designed to function without any earth or even access to regular sun. These nifty indoor grow systems like AeroGrow and LettuceGrow use self-contained seed pods and chutes to avoid messy soil situations. Some even come with their own synthetic lighting to sprout plants, produce, herbs and fresh flowers in the most unlikely of growing environments.
No matter your setup or situation, there is a home garden service that will help you hone your green thumb or make an ideal gift for an aspiring gardener on your holiday list. Check out the best online plant delivery services, garden box subscriptions available in 2020.
PlantX
PlantX
This online marketplace likes to think of itself as a vegan version of Amazon. PlantX caries a sprawling inventory of plant-based products, including a variety of indoor house plants and succulents. It’s all reasonably priced too, with most clocking in under $50 and some small plants for as little as $6. What’s nice about PlantX is you can tack other items, including ready-to-eat, plant-based meals, to your order.

Tulane University contracted as Research Organization to conduct its adjuvant Inactivated Polio Vaccine (“IPV“) study
Study will evaluate the ability of MVMD to promote dose-sparing, and therefore lower costs
Mountain Valley MD Holdings Inc.(the “Company” or “MVMD“) (CSE: MVMD) (FRA: 20MP) is pleased to announce it has contracted Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, as its Contract Research Organization (“CRO“) to conduct its adjuvant Inactivated Polio Vaccine (“IPV“) study, commencing in February, 2021.
As announced in its recent news release on January 20, 2021, the Company filed a POROUS ALUMINUM NANO-STRUCTURED ADJUVANT (“PANA“) patent to support its advanced vaccine dose sparing work and began immediately to undertake the study development and contracting of a qualified CRO. The study will compare existing Alhydrogel adjuvant to the Company’s recently invented stable nano-particulate adjuvant by both intramuscular injection and intradermal injection immunization, evaluating the antibody responses following vaccination with fractional doses of IPV comparing delivery types with IPV alone or adjuvanted.
The study is anticipated to take sixty-days and will be led by Dr. Elizabeth Norton, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine. Dr. Norton’s research focus is mucosal immunity and immunologic mechanisms of vaccination, with a particular concentration on how infection or vaccination can target specific cell populations involved in antigen transport and processing, enhance Th17 cell development and induce IgA production.
Dr. Norton was supported by the Company’s key scientific advisor, Dr. John Clements in the development and design of the adjuvant IPV study that would effectively determine the exact dose sparing achievement of its patent-pending approach. Dr. Clements is Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine and has over 35 years of experience in vaccine, immunology and infectious diseases research and development, with a distinguished scientific career focused on developing and evaluating vaccines for a wide range of infectious diseases globally.
“Our study will evaluate the ability of MVMD’s new porous aluminum nanostructures to adjuvant injected IPV, promote dose-sparing, and therefore lower costs, and facilitate mucosal and herd immunity when compared to IPV,” stated Dr. John Clements, MVMD scientific advisor and Emeritus Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Tulane University School of Medicine. “Successful completion of these studies and subsequent human clinical studies could further demonstrate the potential of Mountain Valley MD’s porous aluminum nanostructures as an adjuvant in a modified IPV vaccine strategy and thereby take a major step toward achieving the global eradication of polio.”
