Deer Horn Issues Q1 Review, Including Strategic Partnerships
Deer Horn Issues Q1 Review, Including Strategic Partnerships
Vancouver, BC, Canada, April 29, 2019 – Deer Horn Capital Inc. (CSE: DHC, OTCBB: GODYF) (or “Deer
Horn”) President and CEO Tyrone Docherty reports on the Company’s activities for Q1 2019.
To our Shareholders:
The first quarter of 2019 was productive as Deer Horn continued to lay groundwork for its long‐term
vision. Most importantly, the Company negotiated two strategic partnerships that management believes
will prove extremely valuable for the company in the years ahead.
Deer Horn’s Vision
Deer Horn’s vision is to provide metals vital to a low‐carbon economy as well as for emerging
technologies related to information processing and the advancement of clean energy, clean technology
and fresh water.
A New Revenue Model for the Industry
Deer Horn’s intent is to build a new revenue model for the junior resource industry at a time when old
models are struggling. A key aspect of this model is partnering with industry leaders in critical and
strategic metals extraction, manufacturing, supply and research as well with relevant governmental and
educational institutions.
We are working to monetize this strategy through our Deer Horn Growth Model, which includes:
1. Advanced Exploration
2. Project Generation
3. First Nations Cooperation
4. Scientific Innovation
5. Sustainable Operation
Strategic Partnership: Fenix Advanced Materials
On April 4th Deer Horn announced a strategic partnership with Fenix Advanced Materials of Trail, British
Columbia for potential future tellurium extraction and purification. The Company anticipates other
synergies with Fenix as well, all aimed at achieving a vertically integrated enterprise for cleantech metals.
The partnership and more details were announced in our April 4 news release.
We consider this agreement a vital step in Deer Horn’s evolution, as we continue to field interest from
critical metals end users about tellurium at the Deer Horn property. Fenix can be instrumental in helping
Deer Horn bring the property to production, not only through purchase and processing of the tellurium,
but also through research and exposure to new technologies that may increase the property’s value.
Fenix brings Deer Horn access to important indirect partners such as Teck, the University of British
Columbia and Redlen Technologies of Victoria. Redlen is a manufacturer of high‐resolution Cadmium Zinc
Telluride (CZT) semiconductors which are advancing a new generation of high‐performance radiation
detection and imaging equipment.
Through its proprietary HydroFenix process, Fenix is focused on developing its low‐cost environment‐
friendly hydrometallurgical extraction of tellurium. Further, Fenix spearheads the R&D for a lithium‐
tellurium (LiTe) solid‐state battery, considered a potentially superior option for next‐generation batteries
beyond current technology (primarily liquid lithium‐ion batteries). Solid state batteries are manufactured
with a solid electrolyte, making them safer and non‐flammable. Other potential advantages include faster
charging, better stability, increased life cycle, and increased energy density – thus, higher capacity and
driving range for electric vehicles.
A recent article in Fortune Magazine reported on Germany’s push to develop and build battery cells
through a $1.12 billion fund, which specifically highlighted lithium solid‐state batteries as the future of
the industry.
Strategic Partnership: Unique First Nations Venture
On April 10th we announced that Deer Horn had partnered with First Nation mineral exploration
entrepreneur Mr. Allen Edzerza to explore highly prospective areas of northern British Columbia.
This is a landmark agreement, both for its value in potentially opening up vast areas of Northern BC to
Deer Horn, but also for its intent of helping First Nations exercise their inherent rights and title to mineral
resources in their ancestral lands.
The lands to be explored under the agreement lie east of BC’s “Golden Triangle” mineral region in a large
area hosting Kutcho’s copper‐zinc project and Coeur Mining’s Silvertip silver‐lead‐zinc mine. The Golden
Triangle has generated discoveries totaling more than 130 million ounces of gold, 800 million ounces of
silver and 40 billion pounds of copper. It has also hosted some of the world’s richest mines, including the
historic Eskay Creek (Canada’s highest‐grade gold mine and world’s fifth‐largest silver producer) and Snip
mines, the currently operating Red Chris gold‐copper mine developed, and recently sold, by Imperial
Metals and Pretium Resources’ Brucejack gold‐silver mine.
This agreement offers a number of potential benefits to Deer Horn shareholders, including opportunities
for Deer Horn to be a project generator in a productive region of BC with the possibility of near‐term cash
flow. It also presents potential new funding opportunities (i.e government, NGOs and others) outside of
traditional resource models. You can read more about the partnership here.
Looking Ahead
Dependent on securing additional funding, this year we are planning to 1) explore the Deer Horn
property’s copper porphyry potential, 2) begin prospecting and staking in Northern BC under our First
Nations venture, 3) work with Fenix Advanced Materials to research the use of tellurium in new
technologies and 4) explore other new partnerships aligned with our vision and strategy.
