  • Announced the launch of its contact tracing platform in Nevada with two of Grupo Anderson’s flagship restaurants in Las Vegas, Senor Frog’s and Carlos’n Charlies
  • Loop’s contact tracing solution entry into Las Vegas, with a globally recognized hospitality company, supports the Company’s broader goals for global adoption
  • In addition to possible expansion into Grupo Anderson’s other locations in tourist destinations such as Mexico, the Caribbean, and Spain, Loop is also gaining traction with large-scale projects in Canada, Australia, the UK, and Indonesia

VANCOUVER, BC, July 23, 2020  – Loop Insights Inc. (TSXV: MTRX) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive marketing and real-time consumer insights, is pleased to announce the launch of its contact tracing platform in Nevada with two of Grupo Anderson’s flagship restaurants in Las Vegas, Senor Frog’s and Carlos’n Charlies. 

NEVADA ENTRY SUPPORTS GLOBAL ADOPTION GOALS

Loop’s contact tracing solution entry into Las Vegas, with a globally recognized hospitality company, supports the Company’s broader goals for global adoption. In addition to possible expansion into Grupo Anderson’s other locations in tourist destinations such as Mexico, the Caribbean, and Spain, Loop is also gaining traction with large-scale projects in Canada, Australia, the UK, and Indonesia.

Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson stated: Las Vegas is a clear global leader in critical billion-dollar industries related to hospitality, gaming, sports & entertainment, and tourism. During these uncertain times, companies and cities around the world are looking to Las Vegas for direction on solutions; it is a major priority for Loop to help these Nevada industries and demonstrate to the world what is possible. Our discussions with casino operators, conference centers, university campuses, stadium operators, and professional sports teams are now being fast tracked because our automated contact tracing solution is highly adoptable, easy to use, accurate, secure, and can connect with other Covid-19 technology. Launching with recognizable brands, such as Senor Frog’s and Carlos’n Charlies, secures our leadership position in moving forward with other Las Vegas venues.

Senor Frog’s USA Director of Operations, Omar Licon Schmitt stated: Covid-19 certainly threw Las Vegas a curveball, and all industries need to pivot to both reopen and remain open. Adopting proper safety measures is a top priority for all in order to ensure both staff and customers to feel safe. Loop’s ability to securely capture names and phone numbers with one tap of the mobile device is impressive and something we haven’t seen on the market to date. We see this automated solution being adopted Vegas-wide, and we look forward to building a safe community together.

LAS VEGAS NEEDS TO PROTECT INDUSTRIES FROM 2ND WAVE OF COVID-19

The Company is accelerating opportunities to implement its contact tracing platform in Las Vegas as a sense of urgency grows to protect its billion-dollar industries and economy. Loop’s solution integrates its Fobi technology with mobile wallet pass technology to create a platform that is proven, reliable, and highly scalable to support large adoption rates on any existing infrastructure. 

Government officials and business owners are aware that a second wave is a major potential threat. Implementing best practice protocols will help instill confidence, keep all stakeholders safe, and ensure Las Vegas remains open and revive its economy. 

The scope of opportunity to keep people safe and businesses open is massive, as Las Vegas hosts just under 50 million visitors and generates 58 billion dollars in annual tourism alone. With tourism and other revenue-generating industries being closed for most of the year to date, time is of the essence. Loop’s speed to scale supports accelerated revenue streams for the Company, including onboarding fees per location, monthly Software as a Service fees, and active user fees.

VIDEO – Loop Insights $MTRX.ca Artificial Intelligence #AI + ImagineAR $IP.ca $IPNFF Augmented Reality Will Change Shopping Forever $SEV.ca $VST.ca $YDX.ca $NTAR.ca

“Change Shopping Forever” … that’s a pretty bold statement to make from two small cap companies in the early stages of commercialization.  But when you watch this interview, it becomes pretty apparent why Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV) and ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB) realized within a couple of hours of speaking they were creating the “Minority Report” of shopping.  

How?  

Well, this is the part where we write a carefully crafted synopsis of the interview to provide viewers with enough context to dive into the video.  But this is the first time in our existence where a synopsis just isn’t possible because it’s tough enough trying to describe the benefits of one paradigm shifting technology, let alone two of them that have joined forces.  If we tried, we’d give away the entire interview and still not do it justice.  

Trust us that this is a video you have to watch – and then share.  In fact, you’ll probably end up watching it a couple of times.  

These two companies are onto something we’ve never seen before.  At Agoracom, we believe the convergence of AI and AR is going to change the world this decade in many applications – and we just found the first two companies who may very well be doing by closing the loop between E-commerce and Bricks & Mortar.  

Get your popcorn ready.

TransCanna $TCAN.ca Seizes New Processing Opportunity and Expands Operations at Daly Street Building $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca

  • Announced that Lyfted Farms Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary) will build a processing division inside its Daly Street Building
  • Aas not originally planned in phase one in order to meet the increased demand for this service and ultimately increase profits margins
  • Once operational, the division will oversee the trimming, drying, curing, grading and packaging of cannabis, and support TransCanna’s strategy of vertical integration of the California cannabis market through distribution centers serving Northern California from the Daly Street building, and Southern California from the Company’s recently announced Lemoore facility

Vancouver, British Columbia–(July 22, 2020) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) TransCanna announces that Lyfted Farms Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary) will build a processing division inside its Daly Street Building that was not originally planned in phase one in order to meet the increased demand for this service and ultimately increase profits margins.

Once operational, the division will oversee the trimming, drying, curing, grading and packaging of cannabis, and support TransCanna’s strategy of vertical integration of the California cannabis market through distribution centers serving Northern California from the Daly Street building, and Southern California from the Company’s recently announced Lemoore facility.

“Once we received our final State License for the Daly Building, our already existing demand increased significantly. To meet this demand and seize the opportunity we saw to really drive our bottom line margin through processing, we sped up the timeline to add processing at this level,” said Bob Blink, TransCanna CEO. “We have the team and the space to execute this. Being agile enough to adapt to a changing market and identify opportunities for growth within it speaks to our collective mindset. When we run the numbers, we can see upon execution this service adding an additional 10% to our forecasted revenue targets,” adds Blink.

“This will facilitate the larger strategy of the Daly facility becoming a central distribution point for Lyfted Branded products and a wholesale processing center,” said Alan Applonie, company General Manager. “Converging marketing and buying interests into a single Northern California location gives state-wide buyers a broader range of products to purchase,” he adds.

The Processor License is an additional license type not included in the original statute specifically added for processors. As this is a new business segment whilst being built out, the Company has submitted an application for a Processor License and anticipates approximately a 90-day timeline to receive it.

The Daly building’s phase one deployment plan will also accommodate perpetual storage of at least 20,000 lbs. of cannabis flower in a climate-controlled atmosphere that will serve business-to-business cannabis market demand throughout California.

#Platinum and #palladium will creep higher as auto sector returns to life SPONSOR: New Age Metals $NAM.ca $WG.ca $XTM.ca $WM.ca $PDL.ca $GLEN

Platinum and palladium will creep higher as auto sector returns to life

  • Palladium – which cost around $2,070 an ounce on Tuesday – will average $2,050 this year and $2,138 in 2021, according to the median result from a poll of 32 analysts and traders.
  • A similar poll in April forecast averages of $2,100 this year and $2,150 in 2021.
  • Platinum – currently around $840 an ounce – will average $832 this year and $913 in 2021. The poll three months ago predicted averages of $836 an ounce for 2020 and $945 for 2021.

By: Sumita Layek and Peter Hobson

LONDON — Analysts and traders have cut their forecasts for autocatalyst metals platinum and palladium as the coronavirus outbreak curtails vehicle sales, but they still expect prices for both to rise gradually through 2021, a Reuters poll showed.

Platinum and palladium are used mainly in engine exhausts to reduce emissions. Platinum is also used in jewelry.

Years of undersupply pushed palladium to record highs above $2,800 an ounce this year, while surpluses have kept platinum near multi-year lows.

Prices plunged in March as the coronavirus choked economic activity but have since recouped some ground as China rebounds.

Palladium – which cost around $2,070 an ounce on Tuesday – will average $2,050 this year and $2,138 in 2021, according to the median result from a poll of 32 analysts and traders.

A similar poll in April forecast averages of $2,100 this year and $2,150 in 2021.

Platinum – currently around $840 an ounce – will average $832 this year and $913 in 2021. The poll three months ago predicted averages of $836 an ounce for 2020 and $945 for 2021.

Palladium is likely to remain in deficit while platinum will be oversupplied, analysts said.

“Auto sector recovery is key for platinum prices, as we doubt jewelry demand will see any revival this year,” said ANZ analyst Soni Kumari.

“The market is flipping from a deficit in 2019 into a surplus of 480,000-500,000 ounces in 2020.”

Palladium use in China has remained solid and there could be a pick-up in speculative buying, which has remained very low, said VTB Capital analyst Dmitry Glushakov.

  • Announced a Memorandum of Understanding with award-winning and leading legacy cannabis brand, the Summit Boys, to co-brand a series of high-quality cannabis concentrates
  • Summit Boys are a well-known legacy recreational cannabis product producers (operating since 2016 under prop 215 and with a cult-like following on Instagram of over 66,000 followers).
  • Demand for Cannabis Concentrates are the Fastest Growing of all Related Product Categories

Vancouver, British Columbia–(July 21, 2020) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (FSE: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a Memorandum of Understanding with award-winning and leading legacy cannabis brand, the Summit Boys, to co-brand a series of high-quality cannabis concentrates.

The Summit Boys are a well-known legacy recreational cannabis product producers (operating since 2016 under prop 215 and with a cult-like following on Instagram of over 66,000 followers). In this agreement, Lyfted Farms (a TransCanna subsidiary), will supply high-quality cannabis flower to the Summit Boys for processing into a line of popular cannabis concentrates branded as ‘Caviar.’

In 2019, the Summit Boys earned 14 awards in the Bay Area Cannabis Cup in several categories, including for Best Product and Hybrid Concentrate for this same Caviar product. The line of ‘White Caviar’ branded products are what The Summit Boys are best known for.

Cannabis concentrates have a greater proportion of cannabinoids and terpenes when compared to natural cannabis flowers, and can increase the potency of cannabis flower. Demand for these concentrates are also the fastest-growing of any cannabis product in the California market (the largest Cannabis market globally).

“This co-branding of the already famous Caviar product now powered by Lyfted’s flower is great news for cannabis consumers,” says Bob Blink, TransCanna CEO. “For us, it’s another example of our strategy to align with high-quality producers and already successful players in the industry-this time with the added value of the Summit Boys’ grassroots following. But for the more sophisticated California cannabis market, this partnership will mean an even higher quality product for consumers.”

“As a dedicated brand to California Cannabis market, we wanted to find like-minded partners. Since meeting the Lyfted team, they have earned our respect, and we definitely look forward to working together. There are many things that excite us, but being able to co-brand and scale now that the Daly Facility is licensed is a huge opportunity, ” stated Mike Larson, Summit Boys CEO.

News of this agreement follows an announcement by TransCanna that the Company was awarded its final operating license for the 196,000 square foot Daly Facility by the California Bureau of Cannabis Control July 10, 2020.
