TORONTO, July 13, 2018 – Eric Owens, the founder and former CEO of Alexandria Minerals Corporation (“Alexandria” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that he has launched a “CEO Verified” Discussion Forum on AGORACOM. The forum will serve as the Founder Group’s primary social media platform to interact with shareholders and advise of the group’s future growth initiatives.

The Alexandria Minerals Discussion Forum can be found at:

https://agoracom.com/ir/thefoundersgroup/forums/discussion

Eric Owens, a concerned shareholder, is a member of the Founder’s Group of dissident shareholders who have requisitioned a shareholder meeting to remove three board members (the “Affected Board”) who we believe are disrespecting shareholder value for self-interested motives.

“Alexandria’s huge, largely unexplored Val d’Or property, located along the proven Cadillac Break, is highly prized and envied. We are deeply concerned with the lack of integrity displayed by the Company Board members, and how it affects Alexandria’s future and reputation, a company I founded and am (or was) proud of. Under my stewardship, we developed a reputation for integrity in the mining community while discovering gold.” Eric Owens

The Founder’s Group supports Eric Owens’ proposal to elect three highly-qualified and experienced candidates to the Alexandria Minerals board. These three respected professionals share Eric’s superior vision for Alexandria and are committed to maximizing shareholder value.  The new Board’s priorities will be to:

  1. Bring in the capital necessary to restart the scuppered drilling program, the largest planned program in Alexandria’s history;
  2. Re-start the 60,000 metre drill program; and
  3. Complete the 2-year period of aggressive discovery drilling.

To support this vision, Eric Owens and the Founder’s Group recommend that shareholders vote only on our YELLOW BALLOT.  We encourage you to vote the yellow ballot, even if you have already voted the blue ballot. Shareholders must cast their vote no later than 5:00 P.M. (EDT) on Thursday, July 19, 2018

Even if you have already voted, VOTE AGAIN! Your last vote is the vote that counts.

Data privacy takes centre stage for advertisers $GOOD.ca $TTD $RUBI $AT.ca $TRMR $FUEL

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:04 PM on Tuesday, July 10th, 2018
  • Good Life Networks Inc. (TSX.V: GOOD), has created an ad tech platform that uses machine learning algorithms, rather than PII, to serve ads to consumers
  • Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with a social media world that seems to be spying on them
  • GLN CEO, Jesse Dylan, comments, “It can feel weird when a topic mentioned in discussion with friends in a bar ends up in your Facebook feed as advertisements about that exact product 15 minutes later.”

Jason Smith, special to BNN Bloomberg from Market One Media

Good Life Networks offers ad tech solution

The Cambridge Analytica scandal has brought data privacy issues to the forefront for large advertising technology (“ad tech”) companies like Facebook and Google.

In March, it was disclosed that the political firm had used data from 50 million Facebook users in support of Donald Trump’s campaign for U.S. President.

Facebook CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg found himself testifying before the U.S. Congress to explain how the company uses it members’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Facebook has built its ad tech empire, in part, by using members’ PII to sell targeted advertising.

Consumers like the connectivity and freedom of expression that social networks like Facebook offer, but they are becoming increasingly anxious about how much data these companies are collecting on them and how that information is being used.

This dilemma has companies looking for ways to balance advertisers’ demand for the targeted advertising with consumers’ desire for privacy. One Vancouver-based company, Good Life Networks Inc. (TSX.V: GOOD) (“GLN”), has created an ad tech platform that uses machine learning algorithms, rather than PII, to serve ads to consumers.

Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with a social media world that seems to be spying on them. GLN CEO, Jesse Dylan, comments, “It can feel weird when a topic mentioned in discussion with friends in a bar ends up in your Facebook feed as advertisements about that exact product 15 minutes later.”

GLN’s goal is to leverage machine learning to offer advertisers a similar level of consumer targeting, but without the privacy concerns attached to many of the most prominent companies in the internet ecosystem.

Programmatic Advertising that Doesn’t Use PII

GLN offers advertisers a video-focused advertising platform that allows its clients to effectively and accurately target ads to consumers to ensure engagement and successful conversions.

Dylan notes, “We don’t collect any PII, and we never will. We believe that technology platforms have crossed the line in the pursuit of collecting user information in order to capture more advertising dollars.”

A technology company, GLN builds software that allows advertisers to target engaged users without violating anyone’s privacy. The company estimates that the addressable market for its product was $17 billion in North America in 2017.

GLN has been growing by leaps and bounds. It posted record full-year revenue for 2017 of $9,723,075, a 278 per cent increase over the $2,571,311 it generated in 2016. Gross profit for 2017 increased 800 per cent, from $481,765 to $4,334,670.

GLN has a patent pending on its programmatic video advertising platform. According to Dylan, the technology was designed from the ground up to avoid using PII. “We avoided PII deliberately. Even before the Cambridge Analytica scandal, we anticipated a backlash.”

Led by a CTO with over 20 years’ experience building advertising platforms, the company’s technology allows advertisers to protect their brand while accessing prospective consumers to drive their business.

Speed, Targeting, and Fraud Protection

GLN claims an ad serve rate three times faster than IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) industry standard of 30 milliseconds. It’s high-speed exchange, is used by media buyers and sellers, and offers access to millions of websites and mobile devices worldwide.

GLN delivers an ad in 250 milliseconds and makes decisions on users in 10 milliseconds. The product provides its media buyers with brand safety by ensuring that websites are legitimate and that the traffic to a site is valid.

This feature of the product allows advertisers to avoid wasting advertising spend on fraudulent traffic and helps ensure their brand does not get associated with undesirable media outlets. Dylan comments, “We look at traffic based on a patent pending algorithm to determine if the traffic is valid. Our product protects advertisers from invalid traffic or IVT, from the most sinister to the most innocent.”

GLN has its own proprietary tests for IVT that allow it to vet traffic before going out to third-party vendors. This helps with speed of ad service — a critical selling point of any ad tech service.

A Blockchain Answer to the Ad Industry’s AR Problem

In addition to addressing the issue of privacy in online advertising, GLN is also focused on solving one of the ad industry’s biggest problems: timely payment. The company is developing a provisionally patented blockchain solution that would allow publishers to get paid the next day after their transaction.

Last year, spending on digital advertising outpaced spending on TV in the U.S. for the first time, according to the Internet Advertising Bureau (“IAB”). With that trend expected to continue, GLN is trying to find a 21st century solution for an industry stuck in a 20th century accounts receivable system.

“We aim to clean the market up with a financial instrument that takes some of the volatility out of the blockchain community,” says Dylan. “Publishers don’t want to wait 30, 60, or 90 days for payment, and with our blockchain solution, they won’t have to.”

Organic Growth with an Eye to Strategic Acquisitions

With demand for video advertising growing rapidly, GLN’s patent-pending video platform appears perfectly aligned to where the ad tech market is heading.

The company plans to grow organically and by acquisition in the next year. One recent move was to sign a letter of intent to acquire a leading connected television platform. GLN (TSX.V: GOOD) will stay on the lookout for other acquisitions that can be accretive to the company.

The company’s ambition is to be the third largest ad platform outside of Facebook and Google. It believes demand for ad targeting that doesn’t leverage PII will put it in the driver’s seat going forward. “We’re right in the sweet spot,” says Dylan. “This is our moment.”

  • Phase III diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop Property near Greenwood, BC.
  • 7.44 grams / tonne (g/t) gold, 54.9 g/t silver and 41.6 g/t tellurium over 0.45 meter core length in DDCOD18-4

 

Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – GGX Gold Corp. (TSXV: GGX) (the “Company” or “GGX”) is pleased to announce drill core analytical results from this winter’s Phase III diamond drilling program on the Gold Drop Property near Greenwood, BC. Analytical results have been received for drill holes DDCOD18-4 to DDCOD18-6, targeting the COD gold and silver bearing quartz vein in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Results include 7.44 grams / tonne (g/t) gold, 54.9 g/t silver and 41.6 g/t tellurium over 0.45 meter core length in DDCOD18-4 in the COD Vein.  Analytical results were previously announced for drill holes DDCOD18-1 to DDCOD18-3 with the highlight being 14.6 g/t gold, 150 g/t silver and 102 g/t tellurium over 2.1 meter core length in DDCOD18-3 (News Release of May 29, 2018)..

The ongoing diamond drilling program is designed to test and further define the COD Vein, a Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein, located in the Gold Drop Southwest Zone. Trenching during 2017 has exposed the northeast – southwest striking COD Vein for over 160 meter strike length.

The analytical results reported in this News Release are for DDCOD18-4 through DDCOD18-6 of the 2018 drilling program, which were completed from two pads north of the COD Mineshaft. DDCOD18-4 was drilled at a 161° azimuth and a 70° dip. DDCOD18-5 was completed at a 161°azimuth and a 60° dip. DDCOD18-6 was drilled at a 308° azimuth and a 45° dip. Hole 4 and 5 holes were designed to further delineate the COD vein at depth below the 2017 trench. Hole 6 was drilled from the east side of the vein to intersect the vein and to identify possible cross structures.

Drill hole DDCOD18-4 intercepted the vein at an in-hole depth of 48.45 meters, or true depth of 37.51 meters. DDCOD18-5 intercepted the vein at an in-hole depth of 32.1 meters, or true depth of 27.8 meters. DDCOD18-6 intercepted the vein at an in-hole depth of 10.9 meters, or true depth of 8.5 meters.

The analytical results listed below are from holes DDCOD18-4 to DDCOD18-6, testing the COD Vein. Since true widths cannot be accurately determined from the information available the core lengths (meters) are reported. The Gold and Silver analyses are reported in grams per tonne (g/t equals parts per million). The intervals listed in the table below are from the gold and silver bearing vein and / or adjacent low grade mineralized host rock.

Hole ID From (m) To (m) Interval Length (m) Au (g/t) Ag (g/t) Te (g/t)
COD18-4 7.82 8.1 0.28 24.1 189 127
COD18-4 48.32 49.05 0.73 1.54 16.25 11.7
COD18-4 49.05 49.5 0.45 7.44 54.9 41.6
COD18-5 32.1 32.65 0.55 1.2 7.74 4.97
COD18-5 34.12 34.65 0.53 1.08 9.38 6.36
COD18-6 7.18 7.68 0.5 1.08 8.24 5.29
COD18-6 10.9 11.35 0.45 1.19 13.9 8.94
COD18-6 11.35 11.8 0.45 0.14 3.2 2.26
COD18-6 11.8 12.6 0.8 0.81 5.17 4.56

The most significant gold mineralization is found in the COD Dentonia/Jewel style quartz vein. The vein is mineralized with pyrite and trace chalcopyrite and telluride minerals. The hostrock near the vein is often altered and carries anomalous silver and gold values, such as at 11.80-12.60 m in DDCOD18-6 which is silicified and pyrite bearing. Silicification and chlorite alteration is texture and magnetite destructive. Strong fine disseminated pyrite is often found in these alteration zones.

Observed core vein contact angles indicate the COD vein is sub-vertical being structurally controlled by the host rock. The predominant host rock for the COD vein is a massive and competent medium grain granodiorite of the Antsey Pluton. Faulting does occur however the general north south trend of the vein is predictable.

In 2017 the Company had received analytical results for 68 trench channel samples collected at the COD Vein. These samples returned anomalous to high grade values for gold, including high values of 43.2 grams / tonne (g/t) Gold and 224 g/t Silver (News Release of July 26, 2017). The first batch of 2017 drill core samples for the COD Vein returned up to 24.1 g/t Gold and 192 g/t Silver (News Release of Aug 28, 2017). The second batch of drill core samples also returned significant gold and silver values including a broad intersection in hole COD17-14 grading 4.59 g/t Gold and 38.64 g/t Silver over 16.03 meters core length with a high grade core grading 10.96 g/t Gold and 89.86 g/t Silver over 5.97 meters core length (News Release of Sept 7, 2017).

Drill core is being geologically logged and sampled at the Greenwood facility. Drill core is sawn in half with half core samples submitted for analysis and remaining half core stored in a secure location. Core samples were delivered to the ALS Minerals laboratory in Vancouver to be analyzed for gold by Fire Assay – AA. The samples are also being analyzed for 48 Elements by Four Acid and ICP-AES / ICP-MS. Quality control (QC) samples are inserted at regular intervals.

Star $SNA.ca Confirms GADSS Compatibility

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:25 AM on Monday, June 11th, 2018

  • ICAO’s Concept of Operations recommends that starting in November 2018, there should be autonomous aircraft flight tracking every 15 minutes over oceanic areas,
    • As of January 2021, that there should be autonomous location and tracking of aircraft in distress at least once every minute
    • Star’s STAR-A.D.S. ® System already exceeds compliance with all of the ICAO GADSS recommendations and evolutions planned from 2018 to 2021 and beyond

TORONTO, June 11, 2018 — Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE:SNA) (CSE:SNA.CN) (OTCQB:SNAVF) (“Star” or the “Company”)  having participated in the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (“ICAO”)  Working Groups, was pleased to see that ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (“GADSS”) Advisory Group, formed in 2014, updated their Concept of Operations and Standard and Recommended Practices late last year.

The tragedies of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 and Air France flight 447 highlighted the limitations in the current air navigation system, which have hampered timely identification and localisation of aircraft in distress. This has also significantly hindered effective search and rescue efforts and recovery operations. On the rare occasions when accidents occur, rescuing survivors has the highest priority, followed by the recovery of the flight recorders. Analysis of data from these recorders is usually key to identifying the cause of the accident, and contributes towards enhancing safety.

In May 2014, ICAO convened a multi‐disciplinary meeting with States, Industry, and related specialists to reach a common agreement in making global aircraft tracking a priority.

ICAO’s Concept of Operations recommends that starting in November 2018, there should be autonomous aircraft flight tracking every 15 minutes over oceanic areas, and as of January 2021, that there should be autonomous location and tracking of aircraft in distress at least once every minute.

Star’s STAR-A.D.S. ® System already exceeds compliance with all of the ICAO GADSS recommendations and evolutions planned from 2018 to 2021 and beyond.

It can securely and automatically track any type of retrofitted aircraft, worldwide.

Location and general flight data (position, flight level, heading etc.) are sent at pre-determined intervals on a routine flight, while all data are recorded. It can transmit real-time flight data and system alerts. The precision of localization of the system is within 1NM.

The STAR-A.D.S. ® System is compatible and fits with all existing information and data management procedures. All transmissions are encrypted and secured.

For future evolutions of the recommendation dealing with the recovery of flight data (and as the system records all relevant data on-board), it can automatically and securely download information directly to the ground as a ‘virtual black box’.

In addition, the STAR-A.D.S. ® system, upon completion of the flight, provides automatic generation of all End of Flight Reports, and historical flight information filing for post flight data mining.

About Star Navigation:

Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. owns the exclusive worldwide license to its proprietary, patented In-flight Safety Monitoring System, STAR-ISMS®, the heart of the STAR-A.D.S. ® System. Its real-time capability of tracking performance trends and predicting incident-occurrence enhances aviation safety and improves fleet management while reducing costs for the operator.

Stars’ M.M.I. Division designs and manufactures high performance, mission critical, flight deck flat panel displays for defence and commercial aviation industries worldwide. These displays are found on aircraft and simulators, from P-3 Orion and C-130 aircraft, to Sikorsky and AgustaWestland helicopters, as examples.

When used in this document, the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “expected” and similar expressions, as they relate to Star or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect Star’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause Star’s actual performance or achievements to vary from those described herein. Should one or more of these factors or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Star does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Namaste $N.ca $NXTTF enters into distribution agreement with Lowell Herb Co California’s fastest growing #cannabis brand to penetrate the Canadian recreational market $ACB.ca $HIP.ca $WEED.ca $CMED.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:44 AM on Wednesday, June 6th, 2018

Namaste Technologies (CNW Group/Namaste Technologies Inc.)

  • Company has signed a supply and distribution agreement with Lowell Herb Co.
  • To launch Lowell Smokes brand of ultra-premium cannabis products for the Canadian recreational and medical cannabis markets
  • Agreement represents a strategic partnership between Namaste and Lowell Smokes to leverage Namaste’s resources and Lowell’s international brand appeal

VANCOUVER, June 6, 2018 – Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV: N)(FRA: M5BQ)(OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a supply and distribution agreement (the “Agreement”) with Lowell Herb Co. (“Lowell Smokes” or “lowellsmokes.com”) to launch Lowell Smokes brand of ultra-premium cannabis products for the Canadian recreational and medical cannabis markets. In anticipation of Canada’s roll-out of legal recreational cannabis, the Agreement represents a strategic partnership between Namaste and Lowell Smokes to leverage Namaste’s resources and Lowell’s international brand appeal. Namaste will work with Lowell Smoke’s procurement team to source the highest quality cannabis grown with organic methods and facilitate packaging and distribution through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc. (“Cannmart”). Namaste anticipates a strong demand for organic cannabis products as the general consumer market becomes more conscious of the products they consume.

California is considered by many to be the most competitive cannabis brand market in the world. Lowell Smokes has established itself as one of the strongest brand names in California and within the entertainment industry and its ties to Hollywood have played a key role in supporting the brand and making it ideally suited for international expansion. In a recent BDS Analytics report, Lowell Smokes ranked as the #1 pre-roll brand in California amongst over 50 other brands listed, with an impressive 12% market share. Lowell Smokes is in over 250 top dispensaries across the entire state of California. With celebrities like N.O.R.E, Snoop Dogg, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Bella Thorne, Bria Vinaite, Sasha Lane and dozens of others talking about the brand and posting content on social media, this Agreement will bring great value to Namaste and its shareholders.

With the impending roll-out of recreational cannabis in Canada, the Company believes that over time, the commoditization of Cannabis will require companies to become more innovative in branding and marketing to differentiate themselves.

Star Announces $SNA.ca STAR-ISAMM™ In-Flight System Aided Medical Monitoring system

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 1:12 PM on Monday, June 4th, 2018

Sna

  • Announce its R&D Department has completed development of its In-Flight System Aided Medical Monitoring system
  • Utilizing Star’s patented STAR-A.D.S. ® System, STAR-ISAMM™ directly addresses the need to improve the in-flight transmission to a hospital of medical data concerning an on-board emergency patient

TORONTO, June 04, 2018 – Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE:SNA) (CSE:SNA.CN) (OTCQB:SNAVF) (“Star” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its R&D Department has completed development of its In-Flight System Aided Medical Monitoring system (“STAR-ISAMM™â€). Utilizing Star’s patented STAR-A.D.S. ® System, (an on-board, real-time flight data monitoring and tracking system), STAR-ISAMM™ directly addresses the need to improve the in-flight transmission to a hospital of medical data concerning an on-board emergency patient.

The STAR-ISAMM™ system interfaces with existing bio-medical equipment aboard the MEDEVAC helicopter. It securely transmits the patients’ vital signs and other critical information directly to receiving hospital physicians through SATCOM or GSM, as well as providing tracking and location of the vehicle. This allows the early assessment and initiation of the best possible care plan, well before the patient arrives. While the most obvious application is to Helicopter Emergency Medical Services, the System is equally adaptable to both ambulance and commercial airline usage.

In response to discussions with the Emergency Medical Service industry, Star’s R&D Department has been working on this project for several years. Recent breakthroughs in Star’s technology have led to today’s announcement.

The STAR-ISAMM™ prototype has already been demonstrated and Star expects that this will significantly enhance:

  • Interfacing with EMS, in the air and on the ground, improving on scene care and care in transit.
  • Providing better patient care with a seamless hospital virtual environment. The patient will be already ‘admitted’ to the hospital care service while being transported.

Star intends to start fielding the STAR-ISAMM™ system this year, starting with the helicopter EMS segment.

Star’s R&D department will continue to rapidly develop the system, with the addition of new features through technological evolution.

About Star Navigation:

Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. owns the exclusive worldwide license to its proprietary, patented In-flight Safety Monitoring System, STAR-ISMS®, the heart of the STAR-A.D.S. ® System. Its real-time capability of tracking performance trends and predicting incident-occurrence enhances aviation safety and improves fleet management while reducing costs for the operator.

Stars’ M.M.I. Division designs and manufactures high performance, mission critical, flight deck flat panel displays for defence and commercial aviation industries worldwide. These displays are found on aircraft and simulators, from P-3 Orion and C-130 aircraft, to Sikorsky and AgustaWestland helicopters, as examples.

Certain statements contained in this News Release constitute forward-looking statements. When used in this document, the words “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “expected” and similar expressions, as they relate to Star or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect Star’s current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause Star’s actual performance or achievements to vary from those described herein. Should one or more of these factors or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Star does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

Neither the Canadian Securities Exchange nor its Market Regulator (as that term is defined in the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of the content of this release.
