There’s Gold in Them Thar Hills! The ‘Unique Business Model’ in the Historic Cariboo

The world’s most iconic precious metal has soared back into prominence in recent months, surpassing the $2,400 Canadian mark in mid-May. Yes, indeed, gold is back. 
Green River Gold Corp. (CCR) (CSE.CCR, Forum) was founded in the summer of 2017 by a group of investors who had experience in placer mining in the Cariboo Mining District of British Columbia through a private corporation. The Company’s executive saw near term cash flow potential in the placer mining industry and also recognized the great potential for hard rock gold discoveries based on the rich mining history of the Cariboo District. The Cariboo District was the site of the original Cariboo Gold rush starting around 1860. Since then, historic gold production has been approximately 3.8 million ounces, 2.0 million from placer production and 1.8 million from lode deposits. Starting in 2017, with the assistance of locally based geological consultants and miners with many decades of combined experience, the Company set out to find both placer and mineral properties with good potential.
In this informative and entertaining podcast, Stockhouse Media's Dave Jackson was joined by the CCR’s President and CEO Perry Little to learn more about the history and present-day gold mining exploration in the Cariboo, the Company’s long-term corporate vision, and the one-of-a-kind placer mining investment opportunity it offers.

AI & IoT Innovations Saving Retail During Coronavirus And Beyond

In a time of retail struggles in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the spotlight is on platforms that can help. Stores and brands have suffered as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has kept people at home, and many non-essential stores have had to close. In the past, this would have been a guaranteed death knell, but technological innovations have changed the game. From online sales and video services to delivery platforms, companies that have enabled businesses to continue working safely are currently front-and-centre. But brick and mortar retail needs more than a boost, it needs a revolution. Once the pandemic is over, the retail market is still losing money to online stores and advertisers hand-over-fist. That’s why the A.I. and I.o.T. experts at Loop Insights Inc. (TSX-V:MTRX, OTC:VRZPF, Forum) have created innovate solutions that have the potential to save physical retail. Part of that saving comes in the form of helping in the current market, and the Company has stepped up to the plate in the form of the “Sharing is Caring” initiative launched on March 30. The other is developing a platform that gives retailers and brands added data value where there was none, and is a big reason why Loop Insights has gotten support from big names like Amazon Web Services amongst many other believers. So how does one revolutionize offline retail and level the playing field, and what does the market need? Loop Insight’s Founder and CEO, Rob Anson, recently spoke with Stockhouse Media to explain what the Company is doing to assist during the coronavirus pandemic and well beyond.
