Prize Mining Receives Permit for Drilling Program on the Toughnut Property, Commences Drilling and Announces $1.15 Million Flow Through Financing

CALGARY, Nov. 28, 2017 /CNW/ - PRIZE MINING CORPORATION ("Prize" or the "Company") (TSXV:PRZ) (OTCQB:PRZFF) (MQSP:GR:FRANKFURT) is pleased to announce it was issued a Mines Act Permit from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources of BC authorizing mineral exploration activities, including a drilling program, on its Toughnut Property.

Drill crew mobilization was initiated last week, and drilling has commenced on the first of four high-priority targets. A total of 1,700 metres of diamond drilling on 7 drill pads is being planned. This program is expected to be completed by December 15th, 2017.

Feisal Somji, Chief Executive Officer of Prize commented: "We are excited to end the year with this much-anticipated drilling program on the Toughnut Property. New targets identified through our summer exploration campaign and known mineralized intercepts from previous drilling will be tested during this program. With the drilling permit in hand for the Toughnut Property, we will finish the year both drilling and looking forward to our results from the recently completed drilling program on our contiguous Daylight Property."

The four high-priority targets were generated using a combination of ground magnetic survey, soil/rock sampling from our summer exploration program and historical data.

The location of a rock sample from the Gold Eagle showing within the Toughnut Property, taken during the summer 2017 program that assayed at 2.8 g/t Au will be tested as a high priority target.  The location of historical drill hole VTN11-010 will also be tested.  This hole returned 1.22g/t Au and 2.71 g/t Ag over 29.72 metres and included a higher-grade zone of 4.4g/t and 6.1g/t Ag over 2 metres (2011 Diamond Drilling Assessment Report on the Toughnut Property).  A soil anomaly from the Company's summer program that returned 8,000 ppb Au (8 g/t Au), with several corroborating samples taken in the summer 2017 exploration program that returned assay values of in the range 200 ppb Au, will also be tested as a high priority target.

Lucky Drilling Ltd. of Castlegar, BC is engaged for both snow removal activities and drilling operations.

$1.15 Million Private Placement

Prize also announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered flow-through private placement financing for proceeds of up to $1.15-million. The private placement will consist of the sale of up to 2,300,000 units at the price of $0.50 per unit. Each unit will consist of one common share issued on a flow-through basis for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one-half common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.65 per common share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the private placement.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used by Prize to continue its drilling program on both the Daylight and Toughnut Properties in 2018.

Prize intends to close the private placement on or about December 5^th, 2017. Prize may pay finder's fees consisting of cash and/or securities in connection with the private placement.  The completion of the private placement is subject to Prize receiving all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

MOTOR TREND Announces Its 2018 Motor Trend "Of The Year" Award Winners

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MOTOR TREND today announced the Motor Trend award winners of the "Golden Calipers" for Car of the Year, Truck of the Year, SUV of the Year, and Person of the Year. One of the most prestigious and sought-after honors by automotive manufacturers worldwide, the award winners were announced during a red carpet ceremony at a gala event featuring an audience of industry insiders and celebrity guests at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

"We are thrilled to announce the best of the best in the industry," says Edward Loh, editor-in-chief of MOTOR TREND. "This year's coveted Car of the Year, Truck of the Year, SUV of the Year, and Person of the Year are being presented to some of the most well-deserving and innovative recipients we have had since the founding of the award in 1949."

Finalists this year were evaluated against six key criteria: safety, efficiency, value, advancement in design, engineering excellence, and performance of intended function. Judges for each program came from the MOTOR TREND staff and also included two special guest judges for Car of the Year (legendary car designer Tom Gale and product development guru Chris Theodore) and one special guest judge for SUV of the Year (auto engineering expert Gordon Dickie). The Person of the Year was chosen from MOTOR TREND's annual Power List of the automotive industry's 50 most influential people.

The details of the awards are:

2018 MOTOR TREND Car of the Year Winner: Alfa Romeo Giulia 
What clinched this year's Car of the Year winner with MOTOR TREND judges was the sheer joy that the Alfa Romeo Giulia puts back into driving. Alfa understands the nuance that sport sedan drivers desire, with a racy engine response and dynamic handling without a rough ride. The Giulia's 2.0-liter turbo-four engine demonstrates notable power with its stunning-yet-tractable 280 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque.

The judges' evaluation of the $38,990 base Alfa Romeo Giulia convinced them of the car's overall prestige. Alfa succeeded in making a blazingly fast performance sedan, while delivering luxurious touches in the base-model version—an accomplishment many car manufacturers are unable to achieve. The Giulia range is topped by the 505-horsepower Quadrifoglio edition, which is, as one judge notes, "the best pure sports sedan you can buy today."

Following a week of testing at the Hyundai-Kia Motors California Proving Ground, MOTOR TREND Features Editor Christian Seabaugh summarizes, "It handles absolutely beautifully, with light, linear sports car–like steering. It rides like a luxury car with no impact harshness in the cabin, and it's downright quick. This is a car that puts a smile on your face. It doesn't matter whether you're sitting at a stoplight, bombing down a back road, or cruising on the highway. It just wants to please."

In awarding the Alfa Romeo Giulia its COTY status, Angus MacKenzie, MOTOR TREND's International Bureau Chief, describes this year's winner as recapturing "the spirit of [the] 1960s Alfas but in a thoroughly modern manner."

2018 MOTOR TREND Truck of the Year Winner: Ford F-150
Out of this year's three impressive finalists tested at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Arizona Proving Grounds, the MOTOR TREND judges named the Ford F-150 MOTOR TREND's 2018 Truck of the Year winner.

For 2018 Truck of the Year testing, Ford provided four variants to show the breadth of the changes made under the hood. The significant updates made to the F-150 have resulted in the interiors becoming more premium, the infotainment system more intuitive, and the steering more responsive. With these new powertrains, the F-150's lighter, military-grade, aluminum alloy body delivers strong fuel economy for a full-size truck. Ford ultimately proved its superiority compared to competitors by producing an impressive range of midcycle changes, including significant ride and handling improvements.

Judges were unanimous in their decision for this year's Truck of the Year winner. "It was a pretty resounding win," MOTOR TREND Road Test Editor Chris Walton says. "Nothing really came close."

2018 MOTOR TREND SUV of the Year Winner: Honda CR-V 
Honda SUVs are no strangers to MOTOR TREND's of the Year awards. In the 20-year history of the award, this is the second time the Honda CR-V has won a Golden Calipers for the MOTOR TREND SUV of the Year.

Thorough testing at Honda's recently renovated proving ground near Mojave, California, showed that CR-V Touring is by far the best entry in the industry's most competitive segment. A new engine and transmission delivers strong performance to a budget-minded family—by getting to 60 mph 0.8 second quicker than the previous model and also being about 8 percent more fuel efficient around town. In addition, the cabin is supremely functional, with prodigious storage space in a small footprint. The CR-V's rear doors open wide, ensuring easy access to the spacious rear seats. Judges agreed that with prices ranging from just under $25,000 for the LX to $34,735 for the Touring AWD model, the value of Honda's CR-V is highly competitive.

MOTOR TREND Detroit Editor Alisa Priddle says, "Honda made sure it kept its crown jewel ahead of the field by paying attention to a wide range of details. Others might excel in certain fields, but others don't put the whole package together the way the CR-V does."

2018 MOTOR TREND Person of the Year Winner: Mary Barra, Chairman and CEO General Motors
This year's 2018 MOTOR TREND Person of the Year is making leaps and bounds as she strives to make changes in today's automotive industry. Jumping from last year's No. 11 spot to No. 1 for 2018, MOTOR TREND is honored to recognize Mary Barra, Chairman and CEO General Motors.

As GM's Chairman and CEO, Barra is executing the automaker's plans to expand into electric vehicles starting with the Chevrolet Bolt (MOTOR TREND's 2017 Car of the Year) and introducing at least 20 new EVs by 2023; partnering with companies such as Lyft; and creating GM's own car-sharing service, Maven. Barra also took smart business moves, updating the hot-selling SUV lineup, while dialing back production on slower-selling models rather than piling on incentives. She also pushed forward financial restructuring, which elevated GM from bankruptcy to record net income in one of the most successful business turnarounds of the modern age.

Microsoft and SAP join forces to give customers a trusted path to digital transformation in the cloud

Expanded partnership offers customers joint cloud capabilities and a trusted road map

REDMOND, Washington and WALLDORF, Germany, Nov. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. and SAP SE on Monday announced integrated offerings to provide enterprise customers with a clear road map to confidently drive more business innovation in the cloud. In a bold show of commitment, the two companies also announced they will be deploying each other's cloud solutions internally. Through their unique partnership, the companies will co-engineer, go to market together with premier solutions and provide joint support services to ensure the best cloud experience for customers.

SAP HANA^® Enterprise Cloud -- SAP's private managed cloud service -- on Microsoft Azure will allow customers to run SAP S/4HANA in a secure, managed cloud. Additionally, Microsoft will deploy SAP S/4HANA^® on Azure to help run its own internal finance processes, and SAP will move its key internal business critical systems to Azure. Finally, SAP Ariba is currently utilizing Azure and is exploring further use within its procurement applications. Together, SAP and Microsoft will help companies make the most of running SAP applications in the cloud.

"As technology transforms every business and every industry, organizations are looking for the right platforms and trusted partners to help accelerate their digital transformation," said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft. "Building on our longtime partnership, Microsoft and SAP are harnessing each other's products to not only power our own organizations, but to empower our enterprise customers to run their most mission-critical applications and workloads with SAP S/4HANA on Azure."

Enterprise companies are increasingly moving business-critical systems to the cloud for the benefits digital transformation provides: better customer relationships, more empowered employees, streamlined operations, new business models, and new products and services. According to research firm Gartner Inc., two-thirds of all business leaders believe that their companies must pick up the pace of digitalization to remain competitive.* As leaders in enterprise software, SAP and Microsoft are aligning closely to provide customers with the safe and trusted path to digital transformation. 

"We are taking our partnership to the next level with this new capability to run SAP S/4HANA in the Microsoft Azure environment," said SAP CEO Bill McDermott. "The world's significant businesses trust Microsoft and SAP. Together, we will help companies win the customer-driven growth revolution."

SAP and Microsoft both will run SAP S/4HANA on Azure for their internal operations. Microsoft is transforming its internal systems -- which include legacy SAP finance applications -- and will implement the SAP S/4HANA Finance solution running on Azure. Microsoft also plans to connect SAP S/4HANA to Azure AI and analytics services for more efficient financial reporting and more powerful decision-making. SAP is migrating more than a dozen business-critical systems to Azure for the optimal efficiencies, flexibility and innovation the platform offers. This includes the SAP S/4HANA software supporting Concur, an SAP company.

Both companies will document the internal projects to provide customers with guidance and enterprise architecture for deployment of SAP applications on Azure.

With SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud on Azure, customers get the best of both worlds: application management and product expertise from SAP and a global, trusted and intelligent cloud from Microsoft Azure, including the range of Microsoft cloud services.

Enterprise customers of all types, such as The Coca-Cola Company, Columbia Sportswear Company, Coats and Costco Wholesale Corp., count on SAP and Azure today for their businesses.

"The strategic partnership announced between Microsoft and SAP is an extremely important development for the Coca-Cola System," said Barry Simpson, senior vice president and chief information officer at The Coca-Cola Company. "The value of aligned engineering, sales and delivery between these two strategic partners will allow our system to accelerate our digital agenda. This is a very positive and exciting development for us."

"SAP and Microsoft are key partners with Costco, and this alliance will help drive our cloud strategy and digital business forward," said Jim Rutherford, senior vice president of Information Systems at Costco Wholesale.

"Microsoft and SAP are strategic partners helping us grow our wholesale and direct-to-consumer businesses. Their close alignment is an integral part of advancing our technical architecture and cloud strategy to better serve our customers around the world," said Mike Hirt, vice president and chief information officer at Columbia Sportswear Company. "We produce innovative products that allow our customers to pursue and enjoy their outdoor passions. Our partnership with Microsoft and SAP is essential to us continuing to deliver on that commitment."

"With SAP HANA on Azure, we have the data intelligence to operate more efficiently across all aspects of our business and accelerate the delivery of finished goods to our customers," said Hizmy Hassen, chief digital and technology officer, Coats. "The Microsoft and SAP alliance provides us with the assurance we need for our innovation in the cloud."
