Liquid Avatar platform (www.liquidavatar.com) has partnered with Apex Comics Group (www.apexcomicsgroup.com) founder and publisher, Mariano Nicieza to present at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con @Home event
The Apex Comics Group panel will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 5 pm Pacific Time / 8 pm Eastern Time
San Diego Comic-Con is hailed as the largest attended event in San Diego annually with over 135,000 attendees in 2019 according to VisitSanDiego.com
This year’s event, celebrating 51 years, will be held virtually for the first time, bringing the event to the world
Toronto, Ontario–(June 25, 2020) – KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. (CSE: KABN) (the “Company” or “KABN” or “KABN North America“), a Canadian Fintech company that specializes in continuous online identity verification, management and monetization, is pleased to announce that its Liquid Avatar platform (www.liquidavatar.com) has partnered with Apex Comics Group (www.apexcomicsgroup.com) founder and publisher, Mariano Nicieza to present at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con @Home event. The Apex Comics Group panel will take place on Saturday, July 25, 2020 at 5 pm Pacific Time / 8 pm Eastern Time.
San Diego Comic-Con is hailed as the largest attended event in San Diego annually with over 135,000 attendees in 2019 according to VisitSanDiego.com. This year’s event, celebrating 51 years, will be held virtually for the first time, bringing the event to the world.
KABN’s presentation during the Apex panel will focus on this week’s earlier announcement launching Liquid Avatar’s Creator program which is bringing some of the world’s leading pop culture, comic book, fantasy, anime, manga and other iconic Artists together to create Illustrator and Signature series Liquid Avatars. There is also an open call for emerging Artists to join these programs and sell one of a kind, digital series and limited runs of custom Liquid Avatars. All custom Liquid Avatars will be available in the Liquid Avatar Marketplace launching in Q3 (www.liquidavatarmarketplace.com). A select group of emerging Artists will also be commissioned to create new, free Liquid Avatar icons available in the program’s Creator Studio.
Liquid Avatars are high quality digital icons for personal or business use that emulate a user’s digital “wallet” and “keyring” allowing them to manage and control their digital identity, credentials, and valuables. Powered by KABN ID with its biometrics, including facial recognition and other security features, Liquid Avatars can be shared with 3rd parties on a permission basis to verify identity without exposing any sensitive data. There is no cost for a consumer to create or manage their Liquid Avatar account and use the platform.
With the evolving macroenvironment driving an increased amount of time spent online, KABN believes that digital identity will become more important as users look to work, play, educate, game and shop virtually and will need to protect, manage and control the use of their digital identity.
Each custom Liquid Avatar, including the Illustrator and Signature series program, will also be supported by a Digital Certificate of Authenticity (“DCA”), based on blockchain technology developed by the KABN Network. DCAs allow for the issuance, recording, management and transfer of digital assets using IBM’s Hyperledger Fabric.
“San Diego Comic-Con is a perfect place to showcase Liquid Avatars and we want to support the growing number of young, emerging artists and help them kickstart their career through the creation of custom Liquid Avatar icons,” said Ben Kessler, CEO. “Our Liquid Avatar program is positioned to give people a wide range of choices on how they want to digitally present themselves as well as manage and control their digital identity, private and public data. Embracing the professional and emerging Artist community will provide unique opportunities to showcase their work while creating new sources of revenue for themselves and KABN.”
Liquid Avatar is developing custom icons for online groups, events and conferences to create incentives for participation. Liquid Avatar also has other gamification features like badges to create recognition and rewards for attendance and participation.
KABN believes that ownership of identity is a basic human right and individuals should be the primary beneficiary of any use of their identity. KABN North America generates revenue by providing users with high value services and delivering permission-based offers that fit their aggregated public data profiles through KABN KASH and the KABN Visa Card.

SPONSOR: Esports Entertainment Group(GMBL:NASDAQ) – Millions of people from around the world tune in to watch teams of video game players compete with each other. In first quarter 2020, YouTube reported 1.1 billion hours watched, an increase of 13% when compared to fourth quarter 2019. Wagering on Esports is projected to hit $23 BILLION this year although that number will likely be eclipsed due to the recent pandemic. Esports Entertainment Group is the next generation online gambling company designed for the purpose of facilitating as much of this wagering as possible. LEARN MORE.
Esports Millions will award €1 Million Jackpot to CS:GO fans
ESPORTS MILLIONS contest will award €1 million to Esports fans rather than players as they se Unikrn’s betting platform to call how CS:GO goes during the event series over the coming weeks
“Million-dollar prize pools are commonplace in esports,†he said, ‘But this is the first time esports fans could become millionaires themselves.
It’s the news that Counter-Strike: Global Offensive fans will be most excited about this summer. Esports data provider GRID and online Esports betting site Unikrn have partnered up for an Esports event with a difference.
The ESPORTS MILLIONS contest will award €1 million to Esports fans rather than players as they se Unikrn’s betting platform to call how CS:GO goes during the event series over the coming weeks. The forthcoming ‘9to5’ event will see a free-to-play live prediction game take place, with fans asked 10 questions over weeks.
Whichever fans finish in the top three places for their predictions being correct will win gaming computers. If any fan scores a flawless set of predictions, they’ll win that million Euros for being top of the ESPORTS MILLIONS.
GRID’s Chief Operating Office, Thomas Warburton, was excited to announce the project, saying:
“We aimed at encapsulating the excitement of a high stakes wager and combining it with friendly competition. As fans, we love to look at esports and contest the next breakout stars, ESPORTS MILLIONS hopes to take the significance of the fans’ opinion to a whole new level. We could not think of a better partner to help us premiere ESPORTS MILLIONS than Unikrn.â€
Unikrn’s Karl Flores, eulogized equally passionately about the collaboration.
“Million-dollar prize pools are commonplace in esports,†he said, ‘But this is the first time esports fans could become millionaires themselves. We host a hyper-engaged community of esports fans. Pairing GRID’s data-driven questions, our customers’ prowess, and our tips tools, we’re looking forward to a CS:GO fan making esports history.â€
With the ESPORTS MILLIONS event beginning on June 29th and running until September, there are going to be plenty of opportunities to call how the CS:GO events go, with teams such as North, MIBR, Godsent, Havu, fore, OG and Team Spirit taking part.
Fans winning thanks to players is a great idea and the fact that GRID and Unikrn have made this free-to-play is amazing. Fans will look forward to backing their favourites for nothing at a time when, thanks to the global Coronavirus pandemic, times might be tight. It’s sure to buy Unikrn and GRID plenty of new fans when lockdown is over and make the enforced stay at home period a lot more fun for everyone involved too.
In my latest sports Op Ed piece, I want to focus on a decision made just 24 hours ago by one of the biggest football clubs in England.
Over the past few weeks, the statements, hashtags and passionate words of many football players, managers and clubs have displayed an allegiance to the Black Lives Matter movement around the world.
The fight for racial equality, felt so strongly by black managers and players for so many years, has seemed an endless, unwinnable war in recent years. However, From the moment Bulgarian football fans gave English players abuse last year, however, there seems to have been more momentum behind the movement.
In the past few weeks, following the killing of George Floyd, sports stars such as Colin Kaepernick and Raheem Sterling and football pundits such as Ian Wright and Gary Lineker have spoken movingly on how the time for action and change is now. How black people both in sport and around the world in all walks of life deserve equality and respect, the same as anyone else.
It was always going to be a revealing point on the graph as to how much change is really happening when the first manager to lose a high-profile job was sacked and what process that football club went through in recruiting their next manager.
Sadly, on Tuesday, we found out that wasn’t very much change at all.
Yesterday morning, Middlesbrough, who have played in twelve seasons of Premier League football, as well as winning the 2004 League Cup and reaching the UEFA Cup final in 2006, sacked Jonathan Woodgate as their first-team manager.
“Jonathan was relieved of his role on Tuesday morning and will be replaced by the experienced Neil Warnock. Warnock will assume responsibility immediately. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Jonathan for all his work in the role of head coach.â€
Not only is it a minimalist statement in itself, paying no tribute to the fact that Woodgate was a former player in his first managerial position for instance, but it would appear that the Rooney Rule, which was adopted by the English football association in January 2018 and means that a quota of BAME (black and minority ethnic) candidates must be considered for roles, meant nothing to the North-East side.
Middlesbrough’s contribution to the Black Lives Matter movement on social media was this tepid effort – including their own club hashtag – which garnered just 21 retweets:
Whether Neil Warnock is the right man for the job at Middlesbrough remains to be seen. To this reporter, that’s not the issue. The point is that the first time a major club could have shown that action and change are more important than a panicked quick fix – and at 71, it’s hard to see Warnock building any kind of dynasty at The Riverside – they failed to do so.
Numerous black managers might be wondering why they weren’t considered for the position. Chris Hughton, who took both Brighton and Newcastle into the Premier League might be one of them. If he was interviewed at lunchtime between Woodgate being fired and Warnock being hired, we’d be very surprised.
Action and change? They are still just words until clubs adopt the Rooney Rule to any hired positions, whether it’s as a manager, board member, sports scientist or any other role. Black players have long been seen as vital by football fans, so why are they not allowed to progress further along the football journey once their playing careers are over?
Decisions that are made by clubs when it comes to managers hold back BAME candidates by exclusion. Neil Warnock could lose all eight games he manages for Middlesbrough and send them down. He could win all eight and be hailed a hero. He’s not at fault here, but the club who hired him are.
Did Middlesbrough include BAME candidates in their process? How long between Jonathan Woodgate’s dismissal and Neil Warnock was there? These questions need to be asked and more importantly answered for those who speak of change to stick by their words and make a new future where everyone is treated equally.
If action and change really aren’t just words but have genuine meaning, then they should apply to every managerial role at the very least and at any club, including Middlesbrough Football Club.

Chinese auto sector to boost platinum demand
Analysts said platinum demand from the Chinese auto sector is looking “progressively encouraging,†with sales of commercial vehicles on a more aggressive uptrend than autos, down just 1% so far in 2020 compared to last year.
“Within this subset, ~70% of sales are diesel,†BMO said. Diesel-powered vehicles require platinum, whereas gasoline-powered cars rely on palladium.
(Kitco News) – The Chinese auto sector looks as though it will boost platinum demand through 2021, said BMO Capital Markets. Chinese auto output rose sharply in June, climbing some 50% year-on-year through the first 20 days of the month, although actual sales may not keep up, BMO said. “We view this as a deliberate move by Chinese OEMs to preload stock of China V compliant passenger vehicles following the change of legislation in May,†BMO said. Analysts explained that manufacturers appear to be hiking output of old models before the July 1 deadline hits for new emissions rules. “In turn, OEMs may focus on selling China V-compliant vehicles while possible and run down inventories through 2H20, a minor negative for palladium demand, as average loadings perhaps don’t increase as much as anticipated through 2020,†BMO said.

Following completion of its successful Phase 1 drill program in May 2020 (see press release dated June 2, 2020), Phase 2 of the 2020 field season will commence in July with exploratory drilling and environmental baseline studies
Drill target prioritized for testing is a large chargeability high detected in the 2017 IP survey (Figure 1), which was performed over the Pine Zone and footwall at the northern end of the 16 km long River Valley Palladium deposit
The IP target appears to be strongly chargeable, links to the eastern known extent of the Pine Zone resource via a curvilinear chargeability trend about 300 metres long , and extends from approximately 120 metres to 340 metres below surface in geophysical inversion modelling of the IP survey results
June 24, 2020 – Rockport, Canada – New Age Metals Inc. (TSXV:NAM); (OTC:NMTLF); (FSE:P7J). NAM is pleased to announce plans for its Phase 2 2020 exploration and development program at the Company’s 100% owned River Valley Palladium Project. This district-scale land package and large mineral resource is located near the City of Sudbury, Ontario, and its world-class mining and processing facilities.
Following completion of its successful Phase 1 drill program in May 2020 (see press release dated June 2, 2020), Phase 2 of the 2020 field season will commence in July with exploratory drilling and environmental baseline studies. The drill target prioritized for testing is a large chargeability high detected in the 2017 IP survey (Figure 1), which was performed over the Pine Zone and footwall at the northern end of the 16 km long River Valley Palladium deposit. The IP target appears to be strongly chargeable, links to the eastern known extent of the Pine Zone resource via a curvilinear chargeability trend about 300 metres long (Figure 1), and extends from approximately 120 metres to 340 metres below surface in geophysical inversion modelling of the IP survey results.

Figure 1. Undrilled priority target from interpretation of the merged 2017 and 2018 IP survey chargeability maps for the Pine Zone-Dana North Zone area of the River Valley Palladium Project near Sudbury, Ontario. The Phase 2 program includes two vertical holes (PZ-20-07p and PZ-20-08p) totalling 750 metres.
The Phase 2 drill program as planned consists of two vertical holes totalling 750 metres and will be completed by a single diamond drill rig. Drilling is scheduled to commence in the third week of July and should be completed within about two weeks. The drilling will test for presence of the favourable Breccia Unit of the River Valley Intrusion (or feeder magma conduit), fault and fold structures, and Palladium mineralization, either an along strike continuation of the Pine Zone or a new zone (Figure 2). Assay results should be available from the laboratory by the end of August. Pending results, the two Phase 2 holes and other holes nearby may be surveyed by downhole IP techniques for off-hole anomalies. This drill program is the second phase of a three phase 5,000 metre drill program proposed for 2020.

Figure 2. Pseudo-section view looking roughly southwest along strike of target towards the Pine Zone Palladium mineralization. Two Phase 2 drill hole locations (PZ-20-07p and PZ-20-08p) shown in red. The objective of these two holes is to test for the presence of the following three geological features: 1) the favourable host Breccia Unit; 2) Palladium mineralization (i.e., the IP chargeability target); and 3) the Boundary Shear Zone.
In addition to the Phase 2 drill program, environmental baseline studies are planned to commence in July. The baseline studies will include two components: 1) desktop study planning; and 2) site reconnaissance. The desktop study planning component includes reviewing historic studies and developing the baseline surface water, hydrology, aquatics, and archaeology programs. Adequate consideration at the start is necessary to ensure that such programs are rigorously defined and that the appropriate data are collected and aligned to support future permitting efforts. Site reconnaissance will be completed to validate the desktop exercise, collect and analyze two rounds of surface water samples, carry out some hydrology work and aquatic fish community and habitat work, and complete a Stage 1 archaeological assessment within the River Valley Project area. The reconnaissance work may continue into Q4 2020, depending on progress and field conditions.

Announced that it’s Liquid Avatar platform (www.liquidavatar.com) has launched its Creator program together with leading pop-culture, comic book, manga, anime and other iconic artists to design and develop a continuous series of digital icons that consumers can acquire to display and share with their Liquid Avatar
Liquid Avatars are high quality digital icons for personal or business use, that emulate a user’s digital “wallet” and “keyring” allowing them to manage and control their digital identity, credentials and valuables
Toronto, Ontario–(June 23, 2020) – KABN Systems NA Holdings Corp. (CSE: KABN) (the “Company” or “KABN” or “KABN North America“), a Canadian Fintech company that specializes in continuous online identity verification, management and monetization, is pleased to announce that it’s Liquid Avatar platform (www.liquidavatar.com) has launched its Creator program together with leading pop-culture, comic book, manga, anime and other iconic artists to design and develop a continuous series of digital icons that consumers can acquire to display and share with their Liquid Avatar.
Liquid Avatars are high quality digital icons for personal or business use, that emulate a user’s digital “wallet” and “keyring” allowing them to manage and control their digital identity, credentials and valuables. Powered by KABN ID with its biometrics, including facial recognition and other security features, Liquid Avatars can be shared with 3rd parties on a permission basis to verify identity without exposing any sensitive data. There is no cost for a consumer to create or manage their Liquid Avatar and use the platform.
With the evolving macroenvironment driving an increased amount of time spent online, KABN believes that digital identity will become more important as users look to work, play, educate, game and shop virtually and will need to protect, manage and control the use of their digital identity.
The Liquid Avatar Creator program will feature original and licensed Illustrator and Signature Series digital icons which will be available as one of a kind, limited edition or collectable set from legendary and emerging pop culture Artists for sale in the Liquid Avatar Marketplace (www.liquidavatarmarketplace.com), (coming Q3 2020).

Esports & Gaming Industry on a Tear
The esports industry is on a tear as very few ways of entertainment are as popular as video games.
“The video game industry is disrupting traditional media and entertainment,†according to VanEck.Â
The world’s 2.7 billion gamers will shell out $159.3 billion on games in 2020, if we go by a forecast by market researcher Newzoo. This marks about 9% year-over-year growth.
By: Sanghamitra Saha
Newzoo also expects gaming revenues of $200.8 billion by 2023 at a compound annual growth rate of 8.3%. The coronavirus pandemic and the resultant stay-at-home trend made it more lucrative for the video gaming industry. The pandemic has caused the cancellation of all sporting events and consumers are indulging in video games or online watching of esports.
Despite no breakout new releases, the month of May saw U.S. spending on hardware, full game sales and accessories touching $977 million, according to industry-tracking firm NPD Group. The figure was 52% higher when compared to a year ago. This was the highest tracked outlays for a May month since the $1.2 billion achieved in May 2008.
Total video game sales so far this year are up about 18% year over year to $5.48 billion. Revenues from video game hardware gained 34% year over year while software sales rose 13% year over year. Video game accessories and game cards added 12% year over year.
Apart from this, there is a big market for sports betting. As of 2018, sports betting made up approximately 18% of the $449 billion global gaming market, as measured by gross gaming revenues, or “GGR.†Goldman Sachs expects the online sports betting market to increase 7.1% per annum from 2018 to 2022.
Regulated sports betting is currently legal in several European countries, Australia and Mexico. In the United States, legalization is enacted at the state level. On a country level, Brazil and India are moving toward likely regulation.
