Both KABN North America (KABN:CSE) and ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB)  are incredibly disruptive and on the cusp of unstoppable trends, which makes them both explosive but also so new that investors still need to wrap their minds around each of them, let alone both of them together.  The good news is that CEO’s from both companies (David Lucatch KABN and Alen Paul Silverrstieen ImagineAR) have sat down with us to explain why their combination is the way all of us will be controlling and profiting from our online identities in the near future.

Before watching the video, here is a little about what you need to know about each company.

KABN – Solves the major problem around our online identities and data. Through Liquid Avatar they provide each one of us with the power to manage and monetize our digital identity, which is an unstoppable trend as both a natural evolution of the web, as well as, legislation forcing big platforms to no longer share and profit from our personal online data.

IMAGINEAR – As the name implies, ImagineAR is an Augmented Reality Company that enables businesses to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience.  AR is also an unstoppable trend – but don’t take our word for it.

Apple CEO Tim Cook stated “AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”

The AR market is expected to grow to $200 Billion by 2025 from just $3.5 billion in 2017. .

Now you know why the combination of these two companies is so powerful and well worth your while to watch, listen and learn about what they are going to do.  The future is coming, so you might as well see it coming first.

Lomiko $LMR.ca Sees Biden’s $400 Billion Commitment To Clean Energy As An Opportunity For Quebec Mine Developers $CJC.ca $SRG.ca $NGC.ca $LLG.ca $GPH.ca $NOU.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:36 AM on Tuesday, January 12th, 2021

Lomiko Metals Inc. (“Lomiko”) (TSX-V: LMR, OTC: LMRMF, FSE: DH8C) is focused on the exploration and development of flake graphite in Quebec for the new green economy.  Lomiko has been monitoring emerging legislation aimed at reducing North American dependence on Chinese supply of graphite and other electric vehicle battery materials.  The US Geological Society 2020 report indicates that 100% of graphite anodes are currently imported to the United States as there are no domestic graphite mines able to produce the material used in Electric Vehicles.

Nomination of Jennifer Granholm as Secretary of Energy

Jennifer Granholm born in Vancouver, B.C., is Joe Biden’s nominee to head the US Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE is responsible for developing and implement clean technologies needed to reach Biden’s fossil fuel reduction targets. Ms. Granholm is passionately committed to decarbonizing the economy.  Combined with a large budget economic plan, there is a clear indication that change to clean energy is the order of the day.

Biden aims to hit net-zero emissions by 2050 which is a goal shared by the Trudeau federal government in Canada and builds upon the Canada-US supply strategy agreement. Biden is well-regarded by the Canadian government on issues of mining and green energy.  In January 2020, Canada and the U.S. announced they have finalized the Canada–U.S. Joint Action Plan on Critical Minerals Collaboration, advancing mutual interest in securing supply chains for the critical minerals needed for important manufacturing sectors, including communication, aerospace, defense, and clean technology.

VIDEO – As The Use Of Drones Prepares To Go Parabolic, Draganfly $DFLY.ca $DFLYF CEO Says “I’ll Build The Company Into One of The Top Three Largest Drone Companies In The World” $FLT.ca $UAVS $ALPP

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:22 PM on Sunday, January 10th, 2021

Most of us know drones as cool toys flying around the neighbourhood, or perhaps even as simple commercial applications for things like real estate videos.

But the fact of the matter is that drone usage is about to go parabolic with huge corporations now testing ways to:

  • Deliver vaccines with drones. 
  • Use drones to provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • Use drones to collect data.
  • Use drones to detect infectious conditions from a distance of 190 feet.
  • ……  And there’s even a start-up that’s using drones to deliver tacos to your door. 

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones (hardware) to data … and one company is already ahead of the shift … DraganFly (DFLY: CSE) (DFLYF:OTCQB) (3U8:FSE)

DraganFly is an award-winning drone manufacturer and technology developer that is actually delivering some pretty incredible achievements, milestones and even history:

  • Established in 1998 DFLY is considered the oldest commercial drone company in the world
  • Built the first drone that saved a life
  • Boasts the first drone to be inducted into the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
  • Shooting down “smuggler” drone carrying 28lbs of heroin
  • Developing Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)

Clients include:

  • Ford
  • Warner Brothers
  • Suncor Energy
  • Shell
  • Redbull
  • Government of Canada 
  • Ontario Provincial Police, 
  • Australian Federal Police, 
  • Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 
  • Illinois State Police, 
  • Shell
  • Dow 

Most recently, DFLY was selected by the US Department of Agriculture to do phenotyping and other related data collection and analysis. Draganfly drones are important within the agriculture industry as they support evidence-based crop, health, planning and spatial data collection. These tools and technologies can provide valuable data that can then be used to influence policies and decisions.

With respect to development of the vaccine drone delivery system above, DFLY was selected by Coldchain Technology Services, a Leading Vaccine Supply Chain Management Company to the US Government to Provide Vaccine Payload System and Flight Services for the COVID-19 Vaccine.

And last but not least was the issuance of a delivery drone patent – which sounds like no big deal until you understand how it is a GAME CHANGER for the entire drone delivery market.

If you believe in the massive parabolic growth in the use of drones for almost everything we do in this world, or are just learning, then watch / listen to this powerful interview with Draganfly CEO and Chairman, Cameron Chell

By: Trung T. Phan

On Wednesday evening, the collective value of all cryptocurrencies crossed $1T (with a frickin “T”). And on Thursday, Bitcoin, the most prominent coin, hit $40k — 2x its price from just a month ago.

While these are huge milestones for the industry, it may not even be the most consequential ones of the week.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) — a bank-regulating bureau within the Treasury Department — has issued guidance saying banks may adopt certain blockchain technologies.

Specifically, chartered banks can deploy stablecoins, which are more… er… stable than other crypto because they’re pegged to other assets.

The OCC has been very forward-looking on payments…

… since a former Coinbase executive, Brian Brooks, took over the bureau in May 2020.

According to Forbes, Brooks has previously:

  • Issued guidance allowing banks to custody cryptocurrencies
  • Created a special payment charter for fintech firms

One DC lawyer said the OCC was similarly ahead of the pack on internet banking, and the latest guidance (AKA an interpretative letter) will help make crypto more mainstream.

What does this really mean?

Jeremy Allaire, CEO of blockchain payments startup Circle, says the OCC’s move is important because it:

  • Allows banks to treat blockchain like other payments infrastructure (e.g., SWIFT, ACH)
  • Enables banks to use decentralized and faster settlement technology
  • Creates a path for the US to create its own digital currency (AKA a “USDC”)

Furtner, Forbes notes that there’s a huge opportunity to improve the speed of cross-border transactions if US banks deploy blockchain.

The changes are happening too fast for some

In November, 6 members of Congress criticized the OCC for moving “unilaterally” on crypto regulation.

The OCC itself acknowledges that banks must expand “compliance programs” to deal with any blockchain-related transactions.

Meanwhile, another US bureau with the Treasury Department, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), released more stringent rules on data collection for digital wallets.

Crypto is moving fast, but there are still some hurdles to clear until the next trillion (with a frickin’ “T”) in market value is created.

Burger King to launch 100% vegan burger for Veganuary in the UK

Burger King is launching a new vegan burger in the UK next week (11th January).

The new vegan burger comes a year after the chain released its plant-based Rebel Whopper, which was unsuitable for vegans because of it being cooked on the same grill as meat.

However, this time the US fast-food giant will sell a 100% vegan bean burger, which includes two signature veggie patties on a toasted sesame bun, topped with fresh-cut lettuce, juicy tomatoes, ketchup, and vegan mayo.

The burger is said to cost around £4.59 on its own, or £5.59 with a drink.

The Rebel Whopper

Last year, the chain launched a Rebel Whopper for Veganuary, angering many vegans because it was grilled on the same surface as the meat version.

It however said at the time that the burger was aimed at ‘flexitarians’.

Commenting on the plant-based Whopper, Toni Vernelli, international head of marketing at Veganuary, said: “For all of the important issues that Veganuary – and most vegans – are trying to address through their food choices it makes absolutely no difference whether the plant-based patty is cooked separately or on the same grill as the meat.

“What does make a big difference to animals and the planet is when non-vegans choose a plant-based menu option, enjoy it and then order it again.

“And that’s exactly who Burger King’s plant-based Whopper is aimed at, flexitarians who want to reduce their meat consumption for health or environmental reasons, or are considering going vegan.”

Veganuary launches

Burger King has joined a slew of retailers, restaurants, and fast-food chains that have launched new products for Veganaury this year.

Wagamama is moving ahead with a new vegan-themed menu for Veganuary amid its pledge to make 50% of its menu meat-free by the end of 2021.

The new menu offers plant-based versions of cult favourite dishes; Chilli Squid, sticky ribs, Firecracker Curry, and Grilled Duck Donburi, which the company hopes will entice even their ‘most set-in-their-ways meat-eating fans’.

Pret A Manger is adding nine new vegan items including breakfast items and wraps to its January menu, which will be launched at both Pret and Veggie Pret outlets nationwide.

Sandwich chain Subway has launched the vegan T.L.C. (Tastes Like Chicken) Sub and Vegan Double Choc Cookie, both of which are available to order in Subway stores just in time for Veganuary.

Durango $DGO.ca Drill on Site at East Barry, Windfall Lake $OSK.ca $BTR.ca $SII.ca $TLG.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:59 AM on Friday, January 8th, 2021
  • Durango has received drill permits for the East Barry claim block to test high priority targets
  • Drilling is scheduled to begin on January 11th with two exploration holes on the East Barry Property budgeted for depths of approximately 750m each.

Durango Resources Inc.(TSXV-DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) is pleased to announce that further to the news release of December 18, 2020, the drill and team from Faubert & Fils Inc. has arrived on site on its wholly owned East Barry property at Windfall Lake, Québec.

East Barry Property

Further to the news release of November 19, 2020, Durango has received drill permits for the East Barry claim block to test high priority targets coincident with high till anomalies of up to 2.19 g/t gold and pristine gold grains in till trend.  Now that weather conditions are favourable for access, a winter road has recently been built and a drill is on site at the East Barry Property. The drilling is scheduled to begin on January 11th with two exploration holes on the East Barry Property budgeted for depths of approximately 750m each.

Trove Property

To date, 2,100m has been drilled over nine holes on the Trove Property at an average depth of 233m.  Drilling on the Trove Property stopped before Christmas and Durango’s exploration crew has not been back to Windfall Lake yet in 2021 due to the Québec government Covid-19 restrictions. The Association de l’exploration Miniere du Québec (“AEMQ”) announced on January 6, 2021 that the government has made the decision to maintain mining activities, allowing exploration to continue in Québec.
