NuRAN Wireless Inc. (‘Nuran Wireless” or the “Company”) (CSE:NUR) (OTC:NRRWF), a leading supplier of mobile and broadband wireless solutions to connect the next billion is pleased to announce that it has received an order for approximately $1,254 Million of its LiteCell 1.5 to be deployed for a Tier One operator in Nigeria.

On February 23, 2017, Nuran had previously announced that its GSM LiteRAN 2G solution was selected by Global Communications Extension Services Ltd (“GCES”), a wholesale operator, for an initial deployment in Nigeria for a Tier One mobile operator.

Nigeria has the largest rural population in Africa with over 95 million people living in these remote and rural areas. The mobile phone penetration rate is at 81% and mostly within the urban region. With NuRAN’s solution, the Mobile Network Operators (MNO) and/or their wholesale partners now have an alternative to bring connectivity to these underserved areas with an economically viable solution compared to typical expensive wireless infrastructure. If this deployment proves to be successful, it will lead to many additional sites to be installed over the next three years.

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUÉBEC–(Marketwired – March 21, 2017) – Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CBG)(STUT:CLL)(OTC PINK:CMAUF) continues to refine our understanding of the geological potential of our large mining camp land package which includes five former mines, two unmined deposits (one copper-gold, one zinc-gold-silver) the down dip of three former sizable producers and our large exploration position which includes numerous under explored drill intersections of copper and/or gold.

On January 18, 2017 Chibougamau announced the results of two drill holes on the C3 copper-gold zone of our Bateman Bay mine property. Hole BJ-16-15 intersected 6.33m (20.7ft) grading 3.65% copper and 0.82 g/t gold. Hole BJ-16-16 returned 12.5m (41ft) grading 3.61% copper and 1.72 g/t gold. True widths are approximately 60-65% of intersection widths. We recently tried to undertake a down hole geophysical survey to better define the strike of the mineralized zone, but the contractor was unable to descend the equipment in the drill holes. We are currently studying the distribution of the recent and previous drill intersections in order to plan additional drilling. Interestingly as reported in the press release, over the 90 meter down dip distance between the two new drill holes, the width of the mineralized zone and gold grade have doubled. The robust copper grade has remained constant.

This is significant in the overall context of the Chibougamau mining camp. Historically the mining camp has produced approximately 45.35 million short tons of copper ore grading 1.74% copper and 2.24 g/t gold. Using a historic metal price of USD $0.436 per pound for copper and USD $60.48 per ounce for gold, gold would represent 22.4% of the revenue from production. On the other hand, using somewhat current and conservative prices of say USD $2.50 per pound for copper and USD $1,150 per ounce for gold, would contribute 48.8% of the revenue. Historically exploration and production were focused on copper. The mining camp must now be considered a copper-gold mining camp rather than a copper mining camp with emphasis placed upon the long-ignored gold potential in addition to the historic copper focus.

Quebec, QC, Canada, March 20th, 2016 – NuRAN Wireless Inc. (“NuRAN Wireless” or the “Company”) (CSE: NUR) (OTC:NRRWF), a leading supplier of mobile and broadband wireless solutions announces the launching of the Facebook Community Cellular Manager (CCM) Software for the NuRAN LiteCell base station.

With the goal of democratizing the access to mobile infrastructure solutions and enabling the emergence of innovative ways of providing connectivity to the Next Billion, NuRAN has created an innovative and distinct software for its base station products. This new software offering is known as NuRAN Open Access (“NOA”), and consists of open-source software as well as open interfaces at various layers of the mobile network protocol, including the Osmocom network-in-a-box and Facebook’s CCM software. In the second quarter of 2017, the software will have all of its elements hosted directly within the NuRAN LiteCell base station unit, effectively transforming the NuRAN base station into a self-standing and autonomous GSM network.

The NOA software creates an alternate way of providing mobile connectivity by combining the pervasiveness and effectiveness of GSM technology at the access level with the simplicity of voice-over-IP (VoIP) for the network back-end. CCM provides a cloud-based platform to monitor the network and manage subscribers without requiring extensive knowledge in mobile networking.
