Namaste $N.ca $NXTTF Announces New AI-Driven #Cannabis Mobile Strain Recommendation App Uppy Cannabis Journal $VAPE $VPCO $MCIG $ABCN.ca $ACG.ca $ACB $WEED.ca $HIP.ca
- Announced that the company has submitted applications to the Apple and Google Play stores in order to launch its latest mobile application, Uppy Cannabis Journal
- Uppy Cannabis Journal is the first artificial intelligence (“AI”) driven medical cannabis app, which is designed to collect direct feedback on cannabis strains and over time provide strain and cannabis hardware recommendations
VANCOUVER, July 19, 2018 – Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV: N) (FRANKFURT: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the company has submitted applications to the Apple and Google Play stores in order to launch its latest mobile application, Uppy Cannabis Journal. Uppy Cannabis Journal is the first artificial intelligence (“AI”) driven medical cannabis app, which is designed to collect direct feedback on cannabis strains and over time provide strain and cannabis hardware recommendations. Namaste has implemented its AI technology through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Findify AB (“Findify” or “Findify.io”) and has fed over 2 million pieces of unique data to the platform which forms the base on which the algorithm will evolve and adapt itself to better understand the effects of cannabis strains in relation to treatment of many symptoms.
Through Uppy Cannabis Journal, Namaste’s customers and medical cannabis patients will have the access to journal their experiences using various strains of cannabis to treat their symptoms. The data collected over time will allow the algorithm to characterize the way different strains of cannabis benefit different people suffering from different symptoms. The goal of the Uppy Cannabis Journal is to develop a shopping experience whereby patients are provided with the best possible strain recommendations personalized for their needs, based on factual data collected through Namaste’s network of e-commerce sites, combined with user-feedback and AI technology.
Namaste will leverage its database of over 1.5 million consumers on a global scale to collect as much patient and strain data as possible. The implementation of AI technology in strain recommendations opens the door to a deeper level of understanding in how cannabis and different strain profiles treat medical symptoms. Namaste is well-positioned with its expansive international database of cannabis consumers to develop the Uppy Cannabis Journal app to a platform that ultimately will serve to benefit cannabis patients on a global scale. Once the app is approved by Apple and Google, Namaste will begin a marketing program to drive traffic from its own sites to Uppy Cannabis Journal and to attract new users through various digital marketing strategies.
The Company remains focused on developing innovative technologies like Uppy Cannabis Journal and NamasteMD, that provide value to Namaste and its shareholders but also bring great value to the industry, the Company’s peers and patients across the globe. Namaste is keen to differentiate itself in an industry focused on cultivation, as a leader in cannabis technology. Uppy Cannabis Journal provides Namaste with a tool to leverage its e-commerce platform to collect valuable data. Furthermore, the integration of Findify’s AI technology with Uppy Cannabis Journal is a ground-breaking event that will fuel a deeper level of understanding for cannabis patients.
Real-world applications of AI are best suited for implementation in e-commerce, healthcare and logistics environments. With Namaste’s large base of online traffic, the Company can collect substantial data in relation to cannabis patients and strains that will be leveraged using the most innovative AI technology in the market. Namaste will be the first company to dive deep into this exciting area of the industry and in enhancing the user experience for medical patients by providing more relevant recommendations based on the specific needs of individual patient’s. The Company will be able to immediately monetize the data collected by integrating Uppy Cannabis Journal with its e-commerce platform and its upcoming medical cannabis “sales-only” license through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary and Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes (“ACMPR”) applicant, Cannmart Inc.
Management Commentary
Chad Agate, CTO of Namaste comments; “The coming launch of Uppy Cannabis Journal represents the next phase of our integration of the Findify AI team into the Namaste platform core – applying machine learning models to help our users have the best cannabis experience in the world. I’m very proud of our world-class team of engineers and designers. We are spending time looking at how we are using technology today during interactions with our customers and focused on how the value of that moment could be increased. For the dedicated Namaste team, machine learning and AI is not about providing novel tools anymore, it is about creating a new type of organization. Our role model is Amazon, which has been able to apply its formula of automation, innovation and data-driven everything to solve seemingly unrelated business issues.”
Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste comments; “This is a very exciting moment for Namaste. Our acquisition of Findify will now show true value to the cannabis industry. Imagine having a platform which has been developed with millions of data points and that uses machine learning algorithms to gain a better understanding of the complex relationships between cannabis strain profiles and treating patient symptoms. We believe that that the Uppy platform will provide better strain recommendations for patients based on actual data that we can collect and analyze using some of the most advanced AI technology on the market today. Each cannabis strain has its own unique profile of cannabinoids and terpenes which define the characteristics of the particular strain and how it impacts patients on an individual basis.
Namaste is leading the industry in developing the most valuable technology platforms and in collecting data on a global scale that serves the Company, its consumers, patients and shareholders. I truly believe that this is something we should be proud of as a company and I feel confident Uppy will help better educate patients from across the globe by assisting them in making more informed decisions. We believe our users will find incredible value in this revolutionary educational tool which we will believe is essential in building patient trust and loyalty. Our ability to allow our patients real-time feedback is very exciting, as we once again lead the industry in new initiatives designed with a “patient first mentality” in mind. This was the last step needed in Namaste’s sales funnel and in creating a personalized consumer experience. I’d like to thank our Technology team at Namaste and our incredible CTO Chad Agate who continues to create and innovate incredible technology that will provide long term value to the Company.”

Bank of America $BAC Reveals #Blockchain Patent for External Data Validation, Cites Need for ‘Accurate Indication’ of Financial Standing $SX $SX.ca $SXOOF $IDK.ca $AAO.ca $HPQ.ca $HIVE.ca $BLOC.ca $CODE.ca
- Bank of America (BoA) has filed a patent for a blockchain-based system allowing the external validation of data, according to a United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent filing released July 17.
- BoA’s patent filing proposes using blockchain for tracking resource information and confirming resource transfers, noting that
“A need currently exists for providing a more accurate indication of a user’s financial standing by allowing external validation of data in a process data network.â€
The patent describes how the system would record information on the blockchain based on “aggregated information associated with past transfer of resources executed by an entity,†and would update the information on the blockchain with each new transaction activity.
In April, the USPTO had published another patent from BoA for a blockchain-based storage system. According to Fortune, BoA currently has 45 live patents related to blockchain pending, with the bank’s CTO noting that the amassing of patents allows the bank to be “prepared.â€
At the same time, the BoA has become infamous for its distaste for cryptocurrency, in May calling Bitcoin (BTC) “troubling†while upholding a previous decision to ban its customers from purchasing crypto using credit cards.
Despite its apparent foresight in the blockchain sphere, BoA is not without its competitors, Mastercard this week unveiling a patent of its own allowing transactions of what it calls “blockchain currencies.â€

American Creek $AMK.ca Reports That Drilling Has Commenced on the Treaty Creek Property Located in B.C.’s Golden Triangle $SEA $SA $SKE.ca $TUD.ca $PVG $MRO.ca
- Reports the commencement of a significant drill program on the Treaty Creek Project, immediately adjacent to and in the same hydrothermal system as Seabridge Gold’s KSM property and Pretium’s high-grade Brucejack mine
- Treaty Creek has similar geophysical, geological, and structural signatures to its neighbours with potential for similar scale
Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – July 18, 2018) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (OTC Pink: ACKRF) (the “Corporation”) is pleased to report the commencement of a significant drill program on the Treaty Creek Project, immediately adjacent to and in the same hydrothermal system as Seabridge Gold’s KSM property (largest gold deposit in the world by reserves) and Pretium’s high-grade Brucejack mine. Treaty Creek has similar geophysical, geological, and structural signatures to its neighbours with potential for similar scale.
The 2017 Copper Belle zone resource delineation program comprised 27 drill holes with intercepts containing long intervals of gold mineralization (an estimated 13,722m total). A block of delineated mineralization from all historical drilling will form the basis for a preliminary resource estimate. Another 8 to 16 holes to depths of greater than 700 m are recommended in order to publish a preliminary resource estimate.
A geophysical (MT/mag) anomaly under Copper Belle (B in Figure 1) shows a strong continuation of mineralized structure that is open to the north, west and to depth. This was verified in the 2017 drill results and supports the priority focus for 2018 drilling on the Copper Belle extensions. The Konkin Zone MT/mag anomaly (A in Figure 1) is another high priority exploratory drill target that previously generated 870 g/t Au over a 1.2m channel sample.
Walter Storm, President and CEO of Tudor Gold, commented (June 4th, 2018): “Our first priority now is to complete the work for our resource estimate followed by drilling other exciting targets confirmed by Simcoe Geoscience. The consolidated geophysical survey that combined acquired data from Magnetotellurics (MT), magnetometer (Mag) and electromagnetic (EM) surveys has provided Tudor with several high priority anomalous drill targets. We expect that this summer’s drill program will be very busy.”
The 2016 Magnetotelluric geophysical survey program (“MT Survey”) was effectively utilized as a guide for the drill program. The MT Survey suggests that the mineralization continues to the southwest, toward the Iron Cap deposit of Seabridge Gold Inc. The MT Survey also suggests that the mineralized zone is open along strike and to depth.

Simcoe Geoscience has previously provided the Magnetotelluric surveys and interpretive guidance for Seabridge Gold and Pretium Resources in targeting what have developed into world-class discoveries on these neighbouring properties.
More Core Diamond Drilling Services of Stewart B.C. (owner Sean Pownall) will carry out all the diamond drilling and will manage the camp activities in 2018. More Core has extensive experience drilling on the Treaty Creek claims having conducted successful programs previously for both Tudor Gold and prior rights holders. Also, once again, Tudor has selected Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd. (YHL) to provide service. YHL has provided safe and efficient service for the Treaty program for the past two years.
The Treaty Creek Project is a joint venture between Tudor, Teuton Resources Corp., and American Creek. Tudor is the operator and holds a 60% interest with both American Creek and Teuton each holding respective 20% carried interests in the property (fully carried until a production notice is given).
