Fabled Copper’s OHM Property Discovery Unveils Exciting Lithium Prospects

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 8:48 AM on Wednesday, September 20th, 2023

In a recent development, Fabled Copper Corp. (CSE:FABL)(FSE:XZ7) has revealed the promising results of its first-phase sampling program on the OHM Property, situated in the resource-rich region of Quebec. This news is sparking interest among investors and industry enthusiasts as the company unveils a wealth of untapped potential.

Uncovering the OHM Property

The OHM Property, a vast expanse covering 2,856 hectares approximately 70 kilometers south of Val D’Or, has long remained under the radar. However, Fabled Copper’s groundbreaking exploration has shed light on this hidden treasure trove. The property’s strategic location, with easy access via route 117 and forestry roads 43 and 44, coupled with excellent outcrop visibility due to extensive logging, makes it an enticing prospect.

Pioneering Exploration

In late July 2023, following a forest fire-induced hiatus, Fabled Copper initiated its exploration sampling program with several key objectives in mind:

  • Assess accessibility and field conditions.
  • Identify the presence of pegmatites across the property.
  • Determine whether these pegmatites are boulders, glacial trains, or in situ outcrops.
  • Analyze the characteristics of discovered pegmatite boulders.
  • Investigate the presence of lithium and associated minerals within these boulders.
  • Decide on the viability of further exploration endeavors.

Discovering Lithium Potential

Over the course of a week in July, Fabled Copper collected 19 samples, covering an impressive 8 kilometers by 2 kilometers area of the property. These samples included a variety of angular and rounded pegmatite boulders. Notably, the central region of the property exhibited pegmatite outcroppings of undetermined dimensions.

Detailed geologic observations revealed a fascinating composition of pegmatites across various sectors, with crystal sizes of associated minerals hinting at low-temperature crystallization. Furthermore, the central area displayed promising K/Rb ratios and elevated lithium and cesium levels, indicators of lithium fertility.

The Path Forward

Fabled Copper’s initial success is just the beginning. With hundreds of pegmatite boulders yet to be sampled, unexplored outcroppings, and substantial data from Quebec’s Ministere des Ressources naturelles et des Forets SIGEOM database, the company is gearing up for a Second Phase Exploration Program. This phase will involve comprehensive data analysis, detailed sampling, structural mapping, and more, underscoring Fabled Copper’s commitment to unlocking the OHM Property’s full potential.

Revolutionizing Healthcare: AI Scanner Promises Faster Assessments and Enhanced Safety

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 8:20 PM on Thursday, September 14th, 2023

 

In the realm of healthcare technology, a remarkable innovation is poised to transform patient care and safety. Predictmedix AI, a Toronto-based health tech company, has unveiled an AI-powered scanner that not only accelerates assessment times in hospitals but also plays a pivotal role in maintaining a drug-free environment by detecting cannabis. Let’s delve into how this groundbreaking technology is set to reshape healthcare practices.

Swift Assessments for Faster Care

Getting all the vital signs needed for patient diagnosis has traditionally been a time-consuming process. Predictmedix AI’s Safe Entry Station, an AI-powered scanner, is changing the game. This device can swiftly monitor vital signs, including heart rate and respiration rates, and even detect alcohol or cannabis intoxication. What sets it apart is its ability to provide this data in a matter of seconds, without invasive procedures or blood samples.

Redefining Triage Efficiency

For patients who spend hours in emergency rooms, a technology capable of significantly reducing triage times is a game-changer. Predictmedix AI’s scanner can shorten this process from up to an hour to less than 20 seconds. It achieves this by capturing vitals in a completely non-invasive, contactless manner. The results seamlessly integrate into the hospital’s medical system, enhancing overall efficiency.

Enhanced Safety with Cannabis Detection

Beyond rapid assessments, the AI scanner has an additional, unique capability: it can detect cannabis on individuals entering healthcare facilities. In regions where cannabis use is regulated or prohibited within healthcare premises, this feature ensures compliance and enhances security.

How It Works

The Safe Entry Station is equipped with multi-spectral cameras that analyze different wavelengths and a host of sensors. An edge computing unit, a powerful computer, processes this data on-site. Proprietary technology allows these cameras to analyze subtle changes in blood flow patterns, converting them into essential data such as blood pressure, heart rate, and the presence of alcohol or cannabis. Currently, it covers about 18 different parameters with an accuracy rate of over 90 percent.

Global Impact

Predictmedix AI has deployed its AI scanner in hospitals in India and Indonesia, with major sporting events in the U.S. also benefiting from this technology. The focus is on regions where a high patient flow necessitates swift vital sign measurements. The data collected is anonymized and used to train the algorithm, ensuring privacy and data security.

Affordable Accessibility

The business model for this AI scanner is a lease model. For a monthly fee of $2,000 to $4,000, users can have unlimited access to the technology. This affordability, coupled with its high accuracy, makes it an attractive option for healthcare providers and employers alike.

Augmenting, Not Replacing

The AI scanner isn’t meant to replace the human triage process but rather augment it. When it comes to measuring impairment, it provides valuable information. For vital sign measurements, its accuracy levels can potentially replace the entire process of manually measuring vitals.

As healthcare technology continues to evolve, innovations like Predictmedix AI’s AI scanner are leading the way towards more efficient, secure, and patient-centric care. This technology has the potential to redefine healthcare practices on a global scale, ultimately benefiting both patients and healthcare providers.

Investing in Innovation: How Marble’s Inverite AI Platform is Revolutionizing the Lending Landscape

A pioneering AI-driven financial technology company is making waves in the world of fintech. The company, known for its innovative subsidiary, Inverite Verification Inc., recently achieved a remarkable milestone – a new monthly transaction record in August 2023. Let’s dive into the details of this achievement and explore how Marble Financial is transforming the lending industry.

Breaking Records in a Challenging Financial Landscape

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:38 PM on Tuesday, September 5th, 2023

GameOn Achieves Remarkable Q2 Growth: A Closer Look for New Investors

GameOn (CSE: GET) (OTCQB: GMETF) is on fire, and Q2 2023 financials prove it. The next-generation fantasy sports platform, renowned for partnering with the world’s top leagues to launch, operate, and monetize web3 games, has shattered its own records for the second consecutive quarter. Let’s dive into the highlights:

Stunning Revenue Surge:
In Q2 2023, GameOn reported a whopping $836,239 in revenue. This is a staggering 568% increase compared to the same period in 2022 when the revenue stood at $125,160. The growth is not just impressive; it’s a testament to GameOn’s aggressive expansion and solid market positioning.

Smart Cost Management:
While revenue soared, GameOn displayed astute financial management. The net loss and comprehensive loss for Q2 2023 were $1,200,580, which is a remarkable 50% decrease compared to Q2 2022 when the losses were $2,424,024. This demonstrates GameOn’s commitment to a path of profitability.

Major League Momentum:
GameOn is driving its recent successes with a major league focus. The announcement of Professional Fighters League as a partner is just the beginning. GameOn has multiple deals already in the pipeline, poised to be unveiled in the coming months. Each of these partnerships will leverage GameOn’s PLAYN3XT platform, opening doors to multi-million-dollar revenue opportunities.

Future Projections:
With several partnerships on the horizon, GameOn management plans to provide detailed revenue projections in late-Q3 or early-Q4. This careful planning and collaboration with partners are expected to significantly boost GameOn’s investor reach, brand value, and financial standing.

GameOn’s Q2 2023 financials tell a compelling story of rapid growth, sound financial management, and a strategic approach to dominating the fantasy sports and web3 gaming landscape. As a new investor, this is a company to watch closely, as it’s poised for even more significant achievements in the near future.

AGORACOM INTERVIEW … WHY SMALL CAP COMPANIES ARE FAILING AT SOCIAL MEDIA & LOSING THE ATTENTION WAR

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:11 AM on Thursday, November 21st, 2019

If you are a small cap CEO, Director or Investor Relations Officer in North America, my 23 minute interview with James Black of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) is the most important podcast you will listen to in 2019. Not because I am the guest but because of what I have to say.

Why does what I say matter? AGORACOM surpassed 600 million page views this year, we’re averaging over 4.5M views per month on Twitter and we’ve served over 300 clients. As such, the powerful information in this podcast comes from a deep understanding of both social media, why small cap companies are failing at it and what the serious implications are of that failure.

Make no mistake about it, this isn’t some generic social media discussion. James and I go deep and I hit hard because that is what good friends do. I’m sounding the alarm because of the massive implications if I don’t.

The good news is that, if you are not an AGORACOM client, you can turn this ship around but you have to do it now and that can only be done by understanding why small caps are failing today.

I suggest that your entire management team listens to it and discusses it. Then let’s have a call to discuss what can be done.

The beauty of this audio format is you can listen to it at work or in your car / subway to and from work. I’ve done the hard work presenting this powerful information, all you have to do is press play.

Thank-you and I look forward to discussing this with you and potentially working together in 2020. Our cashless and fully compliant shares for services program should make the decision an easy one.

GGX Gold: Former Lead Financial Officer of The World Bank Explains Central Banks Return to Gold $GGX.ca $NNZ.ca $GTT.ca $AOT.ca $MTB.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:40 PM on Monday, July 22nd, 2019

SPONSOR: GGX’s Gold Drop property, situated in one of the most prolific gold-copper mining camps of North America, the Greenwood-Republic mining camp. The current 2019 drill program is following up on the 2018 drilling which intercepted high grade gold-silver results (129 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meter) from the near surface COD vein which is projected to be 1.5 kms in length. Click here for more information

http://ggxgold.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/GGX-Logo-TSXV.png
Central Banks Return to Gold
  • Central banks bought more gold in 2018 than at any time since the early 1970s
  • Bullion holdings rose by 651.5 tons last year, the most since 1971

In the 1990s, gold was an unloved asset among central banks. Reserve managers lent or sold their gold, particularly in Europe, and the gold price fell to a low of US$250/oz. Years of persistent selling triggered the Central Bank Gold Agreement of 1999, under which signatories agreed to limit collective sales to 400 tonnes per annum, put a cap on gold leasing and take a disciplined approach to gold futures and options. 

The Agreement delivered two clear benefits: it helped to stabilise the gold price and increased transparency around central bank gold sales. Today, however, sentiment towards gold has been transformed and gold has regained its status as a valuable and highly regarded reserve asset.

In 2018 alone, central banks bought 651 tonnes of gold, up 74% compared to 2017 and the highest level since 1971.

Key Changes

A glance back over the past 20 years highlights some of the key changes in central bank behaviour. 

First, central banks have rapidly and consistently added to their foreign exchange reserves since the Asian crisis of 1998. Reserves are a crucial element in a country’s armoury, providing protection against both domestic and external shocks and acting as a show of confidence to the outside world. Emerging market economies led the charge in this respect, sending worldwide foreign exchange reserves from around US$3 trillion (tn) in 2000 to approximately US$13tn in 2014. Purchases have plateaued over the past five years but still stand at some US$13tn today.

The dollar is the most widely held reserve asset but, according to International Monetary Fund statistics, gold comes third, accounting for 11% of global reserves. Having been net sellers until 2000, central banks have been net buyers ever since. In 2018 alone, central banks bought 651 tonnes of gold, up 74% compared to 2017 and the highest level since 1971. Over the past decade, central banks have purchased more than 4,300 tonnes of gold, taking their total holdings to around 34,000 tonnes today. The trend has continued in 2019, with net purchases reaching 90 tonnes before the end of the first quarter.
Notably too, central bank buying has been geographically diverse. Russia has been the most committed purchaser of gold – acquiring almost 275 tonnes in 2018, the largest amount ever purchased in a single year. China has been consistently adding to its reserves as well, but many other emerging market countries have been accumulating gold over the past year and more, including Hungary, Poland, Egypt, Kazakhstan and India.

The Drivers

What is the rationale behind this renewed interest in gold? First, heightened uncertainty about the global economic and geo-political outlook and second, gold’s intrinsic value as a reserve asset.

Ten years after the Global Financial Crisis, the macro-economic outlook remains fragile and hard to read. In April, the IMF outlook highlighted weakening GDP growth, with risks skewed to the downside. As IMF Chief Economist Gita Gopinath explained, the global economy is at “a delicate moment”. Advanced economies are predicted to grow by just 1.8% in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020, while growth in the Euro area is expected to be even lower, at 1.6% and 1.5% respectively. The emerging market growth trajectory is more solid (4.4% in 2019 and 4.8% in 2020) but risks remain tilted downwards.
Trade tensions are a major unknown. They have already had a negative impact on growth and if the US and China do not reach a genuine truce, the global outlook may worsen further. Fears of retaliation and escalation may hit business investment, supply chains may be disrupted, and productivity may slow across the world stage. The Euro area faces specific challenges too. Business confidence is low, especially in Germany due to the introduction of new fuel emission standards in the auto industry. Fiscal policy is affecting Italian sovereign and commercial bank spreads. And, of course, uncertainty about Brexit persists, particularly as the exit date has now been postponed to October 2019.

Furthermore, global geo-political risks have not abated and may have a negative impact on economic activity. Idiosyncratic risks are increasing too, such as the rise of populist governments in Latin America and across Europe.

What is the rationale behind this renewed interest in gold? First, heightened uncertainty about the global economic and geo-political outlook and second, gold’s intrinsic value as a reserve asset.

Gold Advantages

All these uncertainties accentuate negative market sentiment and drive central bank investors to reallocate their portfolios away from risky assets to safe haven assets.

This is where gold comes into its own, as it fulfils central banks’ three core objectives: safety, liquidity and return.

Gold is well known as a safe haven asset. It carries no credit risk, has little or no correlation with other assets and the price generally increases in times of stress. As such, it offers valuable protection in times of crisis. 

Gold is highly liquid too. It can easily be traded in global market centres, such as London and New York. It can be used in swap transactions to raise liquidity when needed and it can be actively managed by reserve managers.

Gold can also enhance the risk/return profile of a central bank portfolio. Its lack of correlation to other major reserve assets makes it an effective portfolio diversifier and, over the long term, it delivers higher returns than many other assets.

AGORACOM Appoints Allan Barry Laboucan As Chief Commentator; “Buying Dollars For Pennies”

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:06 PM on Friday, July 12th, 2013

We are very pleased to announce that the appointment of Allan Barry Laboucan as Chief Market Commentator. Allan is the publisher of Allan Barry Reports, a leading multi-media source analyzing commodities, resource stocks and stock markets since 2005.  ABR Media Company has offered corporate consulting services to a select group of private and public companies over the past couple decades.

He started his career in the mining sector in the early 1990s as a consultant to publicly traded resource companies. During his time as a consultant, he worked directly with a well-known group of talented geologists, which gave him the education and experience in geosciences necessary to become one of Canada’s leading “rocks and stocks” commentators.

As a result, Allan has been a frequent guest on various business television shows seeking his opinions on markets and specific stock picks. He is focused on using fundamental analysis to find quality companies and technical indicators to refine timing.

APPOINTMENT COMBINES POWERFUL COMMENTARY WITH LEADING MULTI-MEDIA TOOLS

The combination of AGORACOM and Allan Barry represents the next generation of financial communities, in which investors are offered in-depth leading commentary via any digital platform of their choice, including the web, social media, video and mobile, as well as, the opportunity to share and interact via those same platforms at anytime and from anywhere.

Both small cap companies and investors can expect to see the rollout of great content in the coming weeks, including live weekly interviews between Allan, George and small-cap CEO’s that are broadcast on both YouTube and AGORACOM in real-time.  This will be a small-cap industry first!

THE PROOF IS IN THE NUMBERS – OVER 1.1 MILLION SMALL CAP INVESTORS / YEAR

While many online providers attempt to access the online small community, AGORACOM annual traffic averages over the last 4 years surpass all online Investor Relations sites combined, serving as unequivocal proof that our online model works:

  • 1.01 million investors per year
  • 6.8 million visits per year
  • 66.2 million pages per year

George Tsiolis, Founder of AGORACOM, stated “I am thrilled to have Allan as our Chief Market Commentator.  I’ve not only watched him grow over the past few years, I’ve also watched him beat me hands down in personal market challenges between us.  In addition to being a great market commentator, he’s also an early and leading adopter of digital media that makes it easier for investors and public companies to connect with him via their preferred platform.  This is critical in a world in which market participants want unlimited access to information.”

Allan Barry stated “The data is irrefutable. Google Analytics have told me for years that investors on AGORACOM  are the most engaged and intelligent small-cap investors in the world.  They read more pages and stay on my sites longer than any other source, including Google!  As Chief Market Commentator, I’m looking forward to directly engaging this great audience at this critical time in the junior markets for the purposes of identifying leading small-cap companies and encouraging investors to challenge their small-cap companies to either start acting as leaders or leave the market altogether.”
