UCLA Health has announced that they are deploying Microsoft’s (NasdaqGS:MSFT) Azure platform in an effort to “speed medical discoveries and improve patient care”. The Azure platform will equip UCLA Health with advanced computing tools embedded with artificial intelligence solutions that will render data analysis faster and more efficient.

By connecting health data and systems in the cloud in an interoperable way, we're excited we can help advance health care data for more efficient and personalized care."

IBM Watson Health, a subsidiary of IBM (NYSE:IBM), demonstrated the progress of AI technology in the provision of clinical decision support for cancer care at the American Society for Clinical Oncology 2019 meeting.

Nathan Levitan, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer for Oncology and Genomics at IBM Watson Health, said:

"Artificial intelligence technology is helping to enhance the way clinicians treat cancer today, in the real world. AI is helping multidisciplinary tumor boards make more informed decisions based on curated scientific evidence; it is surfacing critical insights and information that is not identified manually; and it is helping to improve patient satisfaction by delivering a comprehensive view of treatment options."

May 31 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (TYO:8473)

Yesterday Bitcoin (BTC) briefly peaked at a trading price of $9005, before quickly correcting down to the $8200-$8300 range for most of the rest of the day, according to data from CoinMarketCap. The total crypto market capitalization basically mirrored Bitcoin’s trajectory, peaking at $286 billion and then sinking down to a current total of $267 billion. Consequently, most of the top 100 coins listed by market cap are in the red going into the weekend. At press time, Bitcoin is trading for $8437, Ether (ETH) for $261 and XRP for $0.43.

According to a blog post published yesterday, crypto exchange giant Coinbase is now supporting the buying, selling, storing and trading of EOS. This latest addition to the platform will be available in most jurisdictions excluding New York state and the U.K. The blog describes EOS as:

EOS is a cryptocurrency designed to support large-scale decentralized applications. There are no fees to send or receive EOS. Instead, the protocol requires EOS to use resources like RAM, CPU, and network bandwidth. It also rewards the entities that run the network periodically with new EOS, effectively substituting inflation for transaction fees.

SBI Ripple Asia, which is a subsidiary of SBI Holdings, Inc. (TYO:8473) has announced the launch of in-store payments based on the firm’s Money Tap service. Initially the service will be trialed as a “demonstration test” to note customer feedback before launching the full service within the space of a year. The announcement also reveals that SBI will promote the move to cashless payments through Money Tap more generally. A loose translation reads:

The SBI Group will continue to encourage local banks and other financial institutions to participate in management as a shareholder of Moneytap, and will actively strive to expand sales of the service, creating a new local industry through cashlessization. Will contribute to the development of society and to the reduction of social costs.

The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has issued a media release seeking feedback on the regulatory status of crypto exchange platforms. This is based on a more expansive consultation report published by IOSCO. The media release outlines the concerns surrounding crypto-asset trading platforms (CTPs):

Many of the issues related to the regulation of CTPs are common to traditional securities trading venues, but may be heightened by how CTPs are operated. Where a regulatory authority has determined that a crypto-asset is a security and falls within its remit, the basic principles or objectives of securities regulation should apply. The report, therefore, sets out that the IOSCO Principles and Methodology provide useful guidance for regulatory authorities considering the identified issues and risks.

#Mining Stocks Sector Close-up on African Gold Mining (CSE: $ZBR.C) (OTC: $ZNZBF) (NYSE: $GOLD) (TSX: $ABX.TO) (NYSE: $AU) (NYSE: $TRX)

#Mining Stocks Sector Close-up on African Gold Mining (CSE: $ZBR.C) (OTC: $ZNZBF) (NYSE: $GOLD) (TSX: $ABX.TO) (NYSE: $AU) (NYSE: $TRX)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - May 31, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining stocks releases a snapshot looking at the recent developments in the African Gold mining sector, specifically in Tanzania.

In Tanzania, revenues from the country's mineral resources are on the rise, thanks to government efforts to curb smuggling and strengthen the Mining Commission's capacity.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/mining/05311Stocks-AfricanGold.asp

The March 2017 government's decision to ban the export of mineral concentrates has led to increased mineral production and exports, and by March this year, the country had earned nearly $244 billion from minerals, representing 78.63 percent of the year's $310 billion collection target.

Minerals Minister, Doto Biteko, tabling the ministry's budget estimates for the 2019/2020 fiscal year, told the National Assembly that out of the collected amount, $223.5 billion, which is 72 percent of total collections, was from royalties and inspection fees.

The remaining 20.5 billion, he said, was from other sources of revenues, including annual fee and geological survey fees. Minister Biteko assured that by the end of this fiscal year on June 30, the ministry will meet the collection target.

Zanzibar Gold Inc. (CSE: ZBR) (OTC: ZNZBF), a junior mineral exploration company, that engages in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties in Canada and Tanzania recently reported that its consultants have initiated their exploration evaluation of the Mkuvia Gold Property in the Nachengwea area of southern Tanzania.

The Mkuvia property has had small scale local placer operators mining gold from the property since 2005. In 2009, a 43-101 Compliant Reserve report was calculated on the central portion of the main gold producing area which outlined an inferred reserve 6 million grams of gold.

The initial assessment is to determine that the identified reserve is intact, and the purity of the gold being recovered. A field visit to the property and the collection of the alluvial gold for analysis is being completed by the report’s original author.

“This work will determine how much of a gold bullion inventory can be established for the company by a low cost placer operation,” Company President S.A. Farrage outlined, “As well as enabling the company to evaluate other gold prospects in the region.”

Tanzania has moved from an insignificant gold producing country in the last century to a 50 tonne per year producer in the early part of the 21^st century with AngloGold Ashanti’s Geita Gold mine (7 million ounces produced since 2000 with reserves estimated at 7.7 million ounces) and Acacia’s (Barrick gold) Buylanhulu (initial reserves 17 million ounces) as the forefront operations.

Tanzania as a country seems well aware of the increased gold mining interest and has begun picking and choosing its partners having recently announced it will no longer allow Acacia Mining Plc to manage its mines in the country and will only work with the company’s parent, Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE:GOLD) (TSX:ABX), to resolve a two-year impasse that has stymied operations.

“We will no longer work with Acacia,” Hassan Abbasi said Tuesday by phone. “Under no circumstances can Acacia be a party to the agreements, or have any role in the operation or management of the Barrick mining subsidiaries in Tanzania. The ball is now in Barrick’s court.”

Acacia has been at odds with Tanzania’s government since July 2017, when the state handed the London-listed gold producer a $190 billion tax bill, saying it under-declared bullion exports. Barrick has since led discussions with the government and, in an effort to solve the impasse, surprised the market last week with an informal plan to buy out Acacia’s minority shareholders.

Abbasi said the government of Tanzania will continue to try to resolve the dispute based on a previous tentative agreement with Barrick.

“The initial agreement that we reached with Barrick in October 2017 is the one that is guiding the negotiations,” Abbasi said.

In a 2017 meeting between Tanzania’s President, John Magufuli and Barrick Executive Chairman John Thornton, it was tentatively agreed that Acacia would pay $300 million to the government to settle tax claims and would split future returns from operations with the country. At the time, Acacia criticized the move and blamed Barrick for its worsening relationship with Tanzania after Thornton took over negotiations.

Last week, Barrick said the government of Tanzania had made clear it won’t negotiate a settlement with Acacia. Barrick Chief Executive Officer Mark Bristow has repeatedly spoken about the breakdown of the relationship between the two companies, and between Acacia and the government.

President Magufuli has vowed to secure more revenue from the country’s resources. His government is targeting boosting income from minerals by half in the 2019-20 fiscal year to 470.9 billion shillings ($205.1 million), according to the Mines Ministry.

While some are looking at new prospects in African Gold mining, others like AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) recently announced that it was embarking on a process to review divestment options for its remaining South African assets. This process will consider all ownership options, with a view to maximizing the value and future prospects of these assets. This is in line with AngloGold Ashanti’s ongoing review of its portfolio and a disciplined approach to allocation of capital and other resources to ensure it generates maximum value for all its stakeholders.

AngloGold Ashanti has dedicated significant time and resources over the past few years to restructure its South African operating portfolio into a more focused business with enhanced operating and financial metrics. The successful completion of the restructuring has resulted in this portfolio comprising a single underground mine, Mponeng, a surface rock dump processing business and a mine waste retreatment operation, Mine Waste Solutions. These assets are now better positioned for the future, with the potential for further enhanced production growth, profitability and free cash generation from the significant remaining ore reserve base of 16.8 million ounces.

Mponeng is ramping up production from the Below 120 Level project, which is expected to give it a lifespan of around eight years, with improved margins from anticipated higher grades within this new mine area. In the medium term (starting in around two years), Mponeng will require additional capital investment to further extend its life and to realize the full potential of this operation.

“We believe that under the right ownership, our South African assets offer a compelling long term value proposition that may allow for an extension to Mponeng Mine’s current life,” Chief Executive Officer Kelvin Dushnisky said. “The investment to extend Mponeng’s life beyond eight years has very strong competition for capital and other scarce resources from a host of other projects in our portfolio, which at current planning assumptions are more attractive, generating higher returns and quicker payback periods - we have therefore decided to review divestment options for our South African business.”

This process is at an early stage and may not ultimately result in any change to the ownership of the South African business. AngloGold Ashanti’s priority is to ensure that the process is conducted with the appropriate thoroughness to ensure the best possible outcome for all stakeholders.

Tanzanian Gold Corporation (TSX: TNX) (NYSE:TRX) announced the first set of assay results from its deep level diamond core drilling program at the Buckreef Project, aimed at better defining potential mineralized zones below the open pit as reported and published in the June 2018 Pre-Feasibility 43-101 Technical Report. Infill drilling within the open pit is continuing, highlights from which will also be announced.

Assay results for a third mineralized zone at depths below 450m are expected soon from the assay lab. The drill-hole was drilled to a depth of 555 meters, one (1) meter is equal to 3.2808 feet for a total depth of 1,820 feet, all diamond core.

Mr. Jim Sinclair, Chairman (TRX) commented, “We are pleased with the first results from our deeper drilling below the open pit using core drilling to better define more robust mineralized zones that may extend below the pit bottom." Mr. Sinclair also noted, "Our in-fill drilling program in the open pit area has passed the mid-point of planned drilling, and, I believe, that the results will help move Inferred Resources into the Measured and Indicated categories."

A recent CNBC article discussed how gold has had some of its best days in nearly three months, due to market turmoil triggered by China announcing that it will retaliate over levies imposed by the Trump administration.

This rise in gold stocks, as well as new government regulations in the African mining community could bring renewed interest into the region, and the companies already looking for new opportunities in growing production regions like Tanzania may benefit from this recent gold surge.
