About the ADP National Employment Report®
The ADP National Employment Report® is a monthly measure of the change in total U.S. nonfarm private employment derived from actual, anonymous payroll data of client companies served by ADP®, a leading provider of human capital management solutions.  The report, which measures nearly 26 million U.S. workers, is produced by the ADP Research Institute®, a specialized group within the company that provides insights around employment trends and workforce strategy, in collaboration with Moody’s Analytics, Inc.

Each month, ADP Research Institute issues the ADP National Employment Report as part of the company’s commitment to adding deeper insights into the U.S. labor market and providing businesses, governments and others with a source of credible and valuable information.  The ADP National Employment Report is broadly distributed to the public each month, free of charge.

The data for this report is collected for pay periods that can be interpolated to include the week of the 12th of each month, and processed with statistical methodologies similar to those used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to compute employment from its monthly survey of establishments.  Due to this processing, this subset is modified to make it indicative of national employment levels; therefore, the resulting employment changes computed for the ADP National Employment Report are not representative of changes in ADP’s total base of U.S. business clients.

For a description of the underlying data and the statistical model used to create this report, please see the ADP National Employment Report: Development Methodology.

EnergySage Brings Much-Needed Transparency and Simplicity to Community Solar Shopping with Launch of New Marketplace

BOSTON, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Following a very successful soft launch in select markets, EnergySage is excited to announce the official release of the EnergySage Community Solar Marketplace, an entirely new way for people to find, participate, and benefit from local community…

BOSTON, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Following a very successful soft launch in select markets, EnergySage is excited to announce the official release of the EnergySage Community Solar Marketplace, an entirely new way for people to find, participate, and benefit from local community solar farms.

In recent years, the community solar market has transformed and become much more consumer-friendly. Agreements are short and simple, savings are locked in for up to 20 years, and there’s no penalty to cancel. Yet as more community solar projects are developed across the country, finding out which projects are available to you and understanding the key differences between them have remained unnecessarily difficult. The EnergySage Community Solar Marketplace removes these roadblocks by providing homeowners, businesses, and renters with a one-stop-shop experience for easy, confident decision making.

«People want to comparison-shop online – that’s how we all make decisions about the things we buy,» said Vikram Aggarwal, CEO and founder of EnergySage. «We launched our rooftop marketplace back in 2013 because the market needed a more transparent, accessible way to shop for solar and it changed the residential solar industry permanently, and for the better, by empowering the consumer. Community solar is in the same position today, and we believe this innovative new online shopping experience is the missing piece to the industry’s growth.»

Quick facts about community solar, also known as shared solar, solar gardens, or solar farms:

  • Community solar is one of the fastest-growing segments of the US solar market.
  • It allows residents to subscribe to electricity produced from a local solar farm. As a result, subscribers typically save 10% annually on their electricity costs.
  • Despite its rapid growth, community solar is a relatively nascent product and is only readily available in select states, including CO, IL, MA, MD, ME, MN, NJ, NY, and RI, all of which are covered by the Community Solar Marketplace, with new projects being added all the time.

«Community solar allows a far greater number of people the opportunity to benefit from solar power, including renters and individuals with lower income or poor credit,» said John Gingrich, SVP new business development at EnergySage. «Helping facilitate smart energy decisions for new, more diverse consumer segments is very important to us, as well as to the health and longevity of the community solar industry.»

Using the EnergySage Community Solar Marketplace is extremely straightforward. Simply enter your zip code and average electric bill to instantly review eligible projects available in your area. You can then compare options side-by-side including the location of the project, estimated annual savings, how quickly each project is filling up, customer reviews, and much more.

The EnergySage Community Solar Marketplace provides great value to project developers and electric utility companies as well. For developers, this is a new cost-effective channel to acquire customers, especially as a massive backlog of projects open up and are in need of subscribers.

For utilities, the Community Solar Marketplace is an opportunity to help their customers make informed decisions about the local renewable energy options available to them, further strengthening the utility’s position as a trusted energy advisor to the consumer. In partnership with an investor-owned utility, EnergySage built the marketplace to empower and protect consumers, and to be as consumer-friendly as possible. This includes utility data integration to pull in customer electricity usage information, single sign-on capabilities to allow consumers to sign in using their utility account login, and the ability to white-label the marketplace to fit the branding of utilities and other partners.

The EnergySage Community Solar Marketplace is now publicly available and completely free for anyone interested in subscribing to a local solar farm: communitysolar.energysage.com

If you are a project developer interested in joining the Community Solar Marketplace, please fill out this brief form and the EnergySage team will contact you.

ABOUT ENERGYSAGE, INC.
EnergySage is the leading online comparison-shopping marketplace for rooftop solar, solar financing, energy storage, and community solar. Supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, EnergySage is now trusted by over 10 million consumers across the country to help them make smarter energy decisions through simplicity, transparency, and choice. Unlike traditional lead-generation websites, EnergySage empowers consumers to request and compare competing quotes online from a network of more than 500 pre-screened installation companies – a formula that is proven to result in a higher rate of adoption, 20 percent lower prices on average for consumers, and significantly lower costs for renewable energy providers. For these reasons, leading organizations like Connecticut Green Bank, Duke University, Environment America, Kaiser Permanente, and National Grid refer their audiences to EnergySage.

NEXE Innovations Provides Corporate Update and Outlook for 2021

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – NEXE Innovations Inc. (TSXV: NEXE) («NEXE» or the «Company»), a leader in plant-based materials science and advanced manufacturing technologies, is pleased to highlight our achievements in 2020, and to provide a 2021 outlook.

<a…

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – NEXE Innovations Inc. (TSXV: NEXE) («NEXE» or the «Company»), a leader in plant-based materials science and advanced manufacturing technologies, is pleased to highlight our achievements in 2020, and to provide a 2021 outlook.

Despite a year beset by challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was a successful year for NEXE with numerous critical milestones reached.  It is our intention to begin providing quarterly reports to our shareholders going forward, allowing investors to closely monitor our progress.

2020 Highlights:

Completion of Go-Public Transaction & Board of Directors Formation

In 2020, we completed, by way of reverse takeover, our qualifying transaction to become a publicly listed company on the TSX Venture Exchange. This major milestone was preceded by various brokered and non-brokered financings raising gross proceeds exceeding Cdn$20M over the past 12 months, a significant increase over the original capital raise target. In total, fundraising and government grants have brought in over Cdn$35M to NEXE since its inception in 2015.

Furthermore, we have strengthened our board of directors with the addition of three new independent members.  This is consistent with best corporate governance practices as the majority of the board will be independent.  The new members include Haytham Hodaly (Senior Vice President, Corporate Development of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp.), Killian Ruby (President and CEO of Malaspina Consultants Inc.) and Graham Gilley (Director of Enterprise Risk Management and Data Protection at a private academic institution). The new board brings decades of experience in corporate finance, public practice accounting and risk management. In addition, and to complement our board of directors, we have added key members to the advisory board, who bring unrivalled experience in product marketing, automation and finance.

Strengthening of IP Portfolio, Equipment Update, and Interest from CPG Players

A strong IP strategy is the foundation of our business.  The Company has substantially strengthened its intellectual property («IP») portfolio in 2020. NEXE engaged a leading IP consulting firm to focus on our proprietary automation processes and materials technology within our pods. The IP firm had identified more than 20 possible patent applications that would further bolster NEXE’s competitive advantage, raise barriers to entry, and generate potential licensing revenue.  We anticipate that any potential future licensing revenue will compliment capsule sales thereby diversifying our revenue streams.  It will also safeguard us as we pursue other business lines and further leverage our innovation platform.    

In early 2020, NEXE placed orders for custom-built high-speed automation to scale its NEXE Keurig-compatible («K-Cup») pod production capacity from 20 million annually toward capacity of up to 120 million pods/year. We expect our high-speed automation for our K-Cup-compatible to arrive and be commissioned by mid-2021.  In addition, we have begun to commercialize our Nespresso-compatible initiative and expect high speed automation deliveries in Q2 of 2021.  With all of key equipment anticipated to arrive at site through 2021, we will be able to scale our Nespresso and K-Cup-compatible pod production to a combined 220 million pods/year capacity.  As equipment arrives, we will continue to improve supply chain efficiencies and reduce supply chain risk.

Finally, in 2020, NEXE received substantial inbound interest from large consumer packaged goods («CPG») companies who have avoided the single-serve beverage market due to sustainability concerns and see our technology as a sustainable entry point and solution. These discussions are ongoing as we look to bring our production facility online in 2021.

2021 Outlook:

In 2021, investors can expect an active year as we will primarily focus on commercialization of our plant-based capsule businesses and pursuing collaborations with leading CPG companies who have a shared ethos.  We are also 100% committed to demonstrating the leverage of our innovation platform into new businesses which we believe will be a significant value driver going forward.  In addition, our in-house IP team will continue to work with outside consultants to ensure that we are always expanding our IP portfolio and safeguarding every move we make.  We will continue our efforts in engaging the various government entities who have been so supportive in our pursuit to tackle the elimination of single-use plastic waste.   

We aim to commercialize our fully compostable capsules for use in Keurig Brewing Systems in the first half of 2021. We are also targeting the launch of our coffee capsules for use in Nespresso «original line» brewing systems by the second half of 2021. As we anticipate the arrival of our high-speed automation equipment and the start of commercialization, we are planning a major expansion of our production facility, both in terms of physical space and personnel, to satisfy the high level of demand we expect for our products.  We continue to expand our personnel and believe our new hires are among the brightest minds in the space.

Finally, NEXE Innovations would like to wish a Happy New Year to all its stakeholders, team members and partners. Though last year was a challenging year for most, we are exceptionally proud of our team’s achievements in 2020 and look forward to an exciting and prosperous year ahead in 2021.

About NEXE Innovations Inc.

NEXE Innovations Inc. is an advanced materials innovator and leader in plant-based compostable technology based in British Columbia, Canada. The company has developed one of the only patented, fully compostable, plant-based, single-serve coffee pods for use in existing major single-serve coffee machines.

New Found Gold Doubles Drill Program to 200,000 Meters and Increases to 8 Drill Rigs at Queensway

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – New Found Gold Corp. («New Found» or the «Company«) (TSXV: NFG) (OTC: NFGFF) is pleased to announce that the Company is expanding the current Queensway drill program from 100,000 meters to 200,000 meters and is increasing the rig count from four to eight drills.

<a…

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – New Found Gold Corp. («New Found» or the «Company«) (TSXV: NFG) (OTC: NFGFF) is pleased to announce that the Company is expanding the current Queensway drill program from 100,000 meters to 200,000 meters and is increasing the rig count from four to eight drills.

Highlights

  • The decision to double the current drill program to 200,000 meters was made following an analysis of the multiple high-grade gold intercepts reported from drilling to date and further review of the multiple drill-ready targets defined along 5 km of strike of the Appleton Fault Zone and 3 km of strike of the JBP Fault Zone.
  • To the end of December 2020, approximately 13,400 meters of drilling has been completed.
  • With this expansion to 200,000 meters of drilling, the revised budget for the Queensway program commencing January 1, 2021 is approximately $35 million.
  • The Company currently has approximately $67 million in working capital and is well funded to support this expanded program.
  • Following the holiday break, drilling has now resumed at the Queensway with four drill rigs currently on site. The Company is advancing arrangements for four additional drills and anticipates finalizing contracts and mobilizing these drills by February 2021.
  • There is currently a significant backlog of samples from the 2020 drilling at the assay lab including a significant number of samples submitted on a rush basis. Additional results are expected by next week.

Craig Roberts, P.Eng., Chief Executive Officer of New Found, stated: «Our drilling to date at Queensway has yielded impressive intervals of high-grade gold over significant widths. With this increase in the drill count we can now accelerate our grid drilling program along 5 km of strike on the Appleton Fault Zone. We will also concurrently commence testing targets along 3 km of strike on the parallel JBP Fault Zone. Both zones are highly prospective for gold with multiple showings that require systematic drilling. With our new 7,000 ft2 core process facility in place our operational team is ready to ramp up and aggressively explore Queensway.  We are excited to move into 2021 with this large program ahead of us and we look forward to a significant news flow of drill results through 2021.»

QA/QC

True widths of the new exploration intercepts reported in this press release have yet to be determined but are estimated to be 70% to 80% of reported core lengths. Assays are uncut, and calculated intervals are reported over a minimum length of 2 meters using a lower cutoff of 1.0 g/t Au. All HQ split core assays reported were obtained by either whole sample metallic screen/fire assay or standard 30-gram fire-assaying with ICP finish at ALS Minerals in Vancouver, British Columbia. The whole sample metallic screen assay method is selected by the geologist when samples contain coarse gold or any samples displaying gold initial fire assay values greater than 1.0 g/t Au.

HALIFAX, NS, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) («GoGold», «the Company») is pleased to release additional assay results from the Company’s El Favor deposit on the Los Ricos North property, including 2.0m of 928 g/t silver equivalent («AgEq»), within 15.3m of 174 g/t AgEq, both from…

Shares Outstanding: 265,238,134

OTCQX: GLGDF

HALIFAX, NS, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – GoGold Resources Inc. (TSX: GGD) (OTCQX: GLGDF) («GoGold», «the Company») is pleased to release additional assay results from the Company’s El Favor deposit on the Los Ricos North property, including 2.0m of 928 g/t silver equivalent («AgEq»), within 15.3m of 174 g/t AgEq, both from hole LRGF-20-019.

«Results from our first 20 diamond drill holes are demonstrating the El Favor deposit is hosted by a large scale zone of semi-parallel silver and gold bearing structures.  The deposit is open along strike and at depth and may be amenable to bulk mining,» said Brad Langille, President and CEO.  «We believe El Favor will form a significant part of our maiden resource for the Los Ricos North project.  With 10 new targets already identified for diamond drilling in 2021, we see the opportunity to realize great value creation through discovery in the Los Ricos district.»

The El Favor deposit consists of several sub-parallel mineralized vein systems (El Favor, Salomon, Las Guittarrillas, Los Chivos) that occur along a 2km E-W trending, north dipping, structural zone. The junction of veins is highly favorable for bulk tonnage mineralization and all 4 veins merge in the area of the historical Hundido open pit and Salomon underground workings. 

Hole LRGF-20-019 was drilled to test below the Salomon workings and intersected 70.5m of 61 g/t AgEq from 25.5 to 96.0m, consisting of 50 g/t Ag and 0.15 g/t Au in silicified and altered quartz rhyolite units, including a high-grade intercept of 2.9m of 390 g/t AgEq.  The hole also intersected another vein from 112.2 to 127.5m for 15.3m of 174 g/t AgEq, which included a high-grade intercept of 2.0m of 928 g/t AgEq.

Hole LRGF-20-010 intersected 14.8m of 168 g/t AgEq from 36.0 to 50.8m, consisting of 131 g/t Ag and 0.49 g/t Au, including an intercept of 3.2m of 604 g/t AgEq, made up of 452 g/t Ag and 2.03 g/t Au. 

Hole LRGF-20-020 intersected 12.8m of 149 g/t AgEq from 144.8 to 157.6m, consisting of 127 g/t Ag and 0.30 g/t Au, including an intercept of 3.3m of 368 g/t AgEq.  The hole also intersected 2.0m of 254 g/t AgEq from 243.6 to 245.6m.

Detailed intersections are listed in Table 1 with a summary of the previously release drill holes at El Favor included in Table 2.  Drill hole locations are included in Table 3. A drill plan map of El Favor is included as Figure 1 below, along with an isometric view included as Figure 2, and Figure 3 shows an overview of the Los Ricos district.

Los Ricos District Exploration Projects
The Company’s two exploration projects at its Los Ricos property are in Jalisco state, Mexico.  The Los Ricos South Project began in March 2019 and includes the ‘Main’ area, which is focused on drilling around a number of historical mines including El Abra, El Troce, San Juan, and Rascadero, as well as the Cerro Colorado, Las Lamas and East Vein targets.  An initial resource on the Los Ricos South project was announced on July 29, 2020 and indicated a Measured & Indicated Mineral Resource of 63.7 million ounces AgEq grading 199 g/t AgEq contained in 10.0 million tonnes, and an Inferred Resource of 19.9 million ounces AgEq grading 190 g/t AgEq contained in 3.3 million tonnes.

The Los Ricos North Project was launched in March 2020 and includes drilling at the El Favor, La Trini, and El Orito targets.

Procedure, Quality Assurance / Quality Control and Data Verification 
The diamond drill core (HQ size) is geologically logged, photographed and marked for sampling. When the sample lengths are determined, the full core is sawn with a diamond blade core saw with one half of the core being bagged and tagged for assay. The remaining half portion is returned to the core trays for storage and/or for metallurgical test work. 

The sealed and tagged sample bags are transported to the ActLabs facility in Zacatecas, Mexico. ActLabs crushes the samples and prepares 200-300 gram pulp samples with ninety percent passing Tyler 150 mesh (106μm). The pulps are assayed for gold using a 50-gram charge by fire assay (Code 1A2-50) and over limits greater than 10 grams per tonne are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 1A3-50). Silver and multi-element analysis is completed using total digestion (Code 1F2 Total Digestion ICP). Over limits greater than 100 grams per tonne silver are re-assayed using a gravimetric finish (Code 8-Ag FA-GRAV Ag).

Quality assurance and quality control («QA/QC») procedures monitor the chain-of-custody of the samples and includes the systematic insertion and monitoring of appropriate reference materials (certified standards, blanks and duplicates) into the sample strings. The results of the assaying of the QA/QC material included in each batch are tracked to ensure the integrity of the assay data.  All results stated in this announcement have passed GoGold’s QA/QC protocols.

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo., Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Omnipresent Love (Amor Omnipresente) was created by Henry Joshua Nicol. Henry Joshua Nicol is an author who was born in Guatemala City. He left Guatemala for the United States of America and became a United States citizen. He wrote poems in Colorado for Poetry.com and the National Library of Poetry. Presently, he includes his poems in English and Spanish.

Henry Joshua Nicol said this about his book: «I am honored to dedicate my poetry in English and Spanish to the world, especially in these difficult times that we have. I know that my experiences I have had since my early childhood have given me solutions for many of the challenges our world faces today.

I support the protection of the environment since I believe it is our duty to protect what God has given us and not to be destructive to flora and fauna and that wars between humans should be resolved in a peaceful and cordial way.

I also address homelessness, drug abuse, abuse of the elderly, and to prayerfully resolve hateful issues between religions through diplomatic negotiations.

My poetry includes all of the above, presented artistically in my poem «Art Sublime.» I have also shared my poetry in the past with Poetry.com and with the National Library of Poetry and in Guatemala with other poets in Arcón de Poesía and El Pensador.

Today the world needs neither chemical or nuclear warfare nor any warfare but to consciously pray in a mental environment of peace and love and sincerity in the omnipresence of God’s love.»
