The future of live sport – how brands can make an impact with new digital possibilities

  • We’ve seen the already growing appetite for virtual event counterparts accelerate during the lockdown period.
  • Our consumer research found that football fans in the UK are now three times more likely to find the prospect of augmented reality (AR) replays and stats exciting, with younger fans more likely to use these technologies in the near future.

By: Mark Melling, Verizon Media

Digital fan experiences like the NFL’s ‘Watch Together’ synchronised livestream are reinventing the way in which consumers enjoy live sports content.

The absence of live sport throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been felt strongly by fans like me across the globe. From the pre-game rituals, half-time debrief with friends and the atmosphere within the stadium, fans have been missing out on the communal and experience-led aspect of a physical game.

In response to this, we’ve adapted our strategy and looked at new and innovative ways we can elevate the sports fan experience as well as focusing on the entertainment sector more broadly.

We’ve seen the already growing appetite for virtual event counterparts accelerate during the lockdown period. Our consumer research found that football fans in the UK are now three times more likely to find the prospect of augmented reality (AR) replays and stats exciting, with younger fans more likely to use these technologies in the near future.*

This demonstrates how fans are starting to see the value these technologies bring, and so will be more likely to continue using them to enhance the digital experience – even when live sporting events start-up again.

More broadly, the expectation for consumers is that most offline events will have some sort of digital twin and be augmented by tech in some way. We’re already starting to see this amongst the younger generation, with 83% of UK millennials claiming they expect their digital experiences and interactions with brands online to be seamless, innovative, and to enhance what’s happening in the real world.*

The convergence of online and offline

These sorts of insights have been integral in driving our strategy and the platforms we use moving forward – highlighting the importance of exploring the convergence of online and offline.

As part of this, it’s been important for us to consider two key streams: live events with virtual integrations and virtual events with live integrations. The former will be vital for sport as virtual elements can be incorporated to enhance the offline experience.

For example, better quality video streaming, immersive experiences and real-time virtual reality (VR) and AR overlays that will allow viewers to watch the game from multiple angles – including cameras on the players and referees, so that fans can get a point of view shot and feel more involved in the action.

COVID-19 has been instrumental in accelerating demand for these types of experiences. And technology can help to create communal experiences for viewers, even when they are unable to attend the physical venue to watch the game with friends and family under current lockdown restrictions.

As a result, everyone working within the sports industry – from production and distribution to branding and marketing – has had to adjust their strategy and adapt to bringing digital experiences to the forefront. Much of this technology was already in the pipeline but the global pandemic has accelerated plans due to the need to shift to digital overnight.

NFL partnership: ‘Watch Together’

One of the ways we helped to improve the digital fan experience within the sports industry was through our recent partnership with the NFL to launch ‘Watch Together’.

The new platform consists of a co-viewing experience that enables fans to video chat on their phones whilst watching live games in the Yahoo Sports App in the US. Watch Together for NFL Live on Yahoo Sports will give fans the ability to invite up to three family and friends to watch live local and primetime NFL games on their phones through a synchronised livestream, creating an interactive, virtual experience that lets viewers feel like they are watching the game together. 

On top of this, the new Yahoo Sports game centre experience offers fans the ability to see graphical replays of key NFL game plays in near real-time using its proprietary Next Gen Stats player tracking data. The NFL is the first launch partner for Watch Together, but it could easily be replicated across the whole sport sector and demonstrates the digital capabilities for consuming live events.

These viewing experiences will be game-changers moving forward, even post-pandemic, and will more intrinsically link the offline and online element of live events. This is an incredible opportunity for brands to test themselves. And marketers should be thinking about their engagement strategies now to establish themselves in this evolving world, taking hold of the unique digital opportunities that are arising. 

Supercharging the experience with 5G

This is also where 5G can make a real impact – supercharging the fan experience through rich, real-time and immersive experiences. It will enhance existing technologies and help to cater for the increased demand for online events, while also elevating offline experiences in the future.

For example, e-commerce, social interaction and video replays in between games are all currently available but can be heightened, personalised and delivered in real-time at scale through the connectivity that 5G will enable.

Brands can tap into these opportunities by thinking creatively about ways to bring together the online and offline elements in a meaningful way that will connect with consumers. For live sports – and indeed live entertainment events more broadly – we can expect interactive and immersive experiences to become the norm, with fans looking for new ways to watch the game from their homes.

Brands that do not adapt and help to drive these unique experiences risk being left behind as we hurtle towards a more digitised future.

UK to invest in AI and cyber as part of major defense spending hike

By: Natasha Lomas

The UK has announced a massive boost in defense spending — £16.5 billion ($21.8BN) over four years, the biggest such spending bump for 30 years — in what prime minister Boris Johnson has described as a “once in a generation modernization” of the UK’s armed forces and “the end of the era of retreat” on funding for defense.

Overall the UK prime minister said the spending hike will create 40,000 jobs, adding that it will cement the country’s position as the biggest military defense spender in Europe and the second largest in NATO after the US.

Johnson said the focus for investment will be on cutting edge technologies that can “revolutionize” warfare — implying a major role for artificial intelligence and sensor-laden connected hardware in “forging our military assets into a single network designed to overcome the enemy”, as he put it in a statement to parliament, setting out the first conclusions from an the (ongoing) review of security, defense, development and foreign policy.

“A soldier in hostile territory will be alerted to a distant ambush by sensors or satellites or drones instantly transmitting a warning using artificial intelligence to device the optimal response and offering an array of options — from summoning an air strike to ordering a swarm attack by drones, or paralyzing the enemy with cyber weapons,” Johnson told the House of Commons today, speaking via video conference as he continues to self isolate following a coronavirus contact.

“New advances will surmount the old limits of logistics,” he went on, fleshing out the rational for spending on upgrading military technology. “Our warships and combat vehicles will carry directed energy weapons — destroying targets with inexhaustible lasers. And for them the phrase out of ammunition will become redundant.”

“Nations are racing to master this new doctrine of warfare and our investment is designed to place Britain among the winners,” he added.

The review sets out at least £1.5BN extra — and £5.8BN total — spending on military R&D which Johnson said would be “designed to master the new technologies of warfare”.

There will also be a new R&D center set up with a dedicated focus on artificial intelligence, he added.

An RAF Space Command center is also in the works — with the aim of launching British satellites including the UK’s first rocket from Scotland in 2022.

While the airforce will get new fighter system that Johnson specified will incorporate AI and drone technology.

He also confirmed the existence of a National Cyber Force — a joint unit consisting of personnel from the UK’s intelligence agencies and military personnel which runs cyberops targeting terrorism, organized crime and hostile foreign state actors.

He suggested the hike in military spending on emerging technologies will filter down into wider societal tech gains, telling MPs: “The returns will go far beyond our armed forces — from aerospace to autonomous vehicles — these technologies have a vast array of civilian applications, opening up new vistas of economic progress.”

Responding to Johnson’s statement, the leader of the opposition, Keir Starmer, welcomed the announcement of increased spending for defense and the armed forces — but accused the government of issuing another “press release without a strategy” — pointing out that successive Conservative governments have eroded defense spending over the past ten years.

“This is a spending announcement without a strategy. The government has yet again pushed back vital parts of the integrated review and there’s no clarity over the government’s strategic priorities,” said Starmer, going on to query how the spending hike would be funded, given the economic crunch facing the UK as a result of the pandemic — asking whether it will require tax rises or cuts to public spending elsewhere, such as to the international development budget.

Starmer also raised the awkward matter of the Russia report — wondering why Johnson’s government has not acted on the “urgent” national security risks identified there.

The report, by parliament’s intelligence and security committee, found the UK lacks a comprehensive and cohesive strategy to respond to the cyber threat posed by Russia and other hostile states that are deploying online disinformation and influence ops to target democratic institutions and values.

It also sounded the alarm about how much Russian money is finding its way into UK political party coffers.

“The prime minister speaks of tackling global security threats, improving cyber capability — and that is all welcome, and we welcome it — but four months after the intelligence and security committee published its report concluding that Russia posed… an immediate and urgent threat to our national security,” noted Starmer.

Replying, Johnson dodged all Starmer’s questions — branding his criticisms “humbug [that] takes the cake” and opting to attack the Labour leader for having served under the party’s former leader, Jeremy Corbyn, who did not support increasing UK defense spending.

  • Drills 20.33 m of 2.47 g/t Au at Adumbi

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Loncor Resources Inc. (“Loncor” or the “Company“) (TSX: “LN”; OTCQX: “LONCF”; FSE: “LO51”) is pleased to announce that the first core hole of a 7,000 metre drilling program at its Adumbi deposit has intersected multiple gold sections including 20.33 metres grading 2.47 g/t gold (including 4.8 metres grading 5.40 g/t Au), 7.33 metres grading 5.80 g/t Au and 20.77 metres grading 1.72 g/t Au, on its 84.68% owned Imbo Project in the eastern part of the Ngayu greenstone belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (see Figure 1).

Mineralized sections are summarised in the table below:

Borehole NumberFrom
(m)
To
(m)
Intersected Width

Grade (g/t) Au
LADD001202.58223.3520.771.72

LADD001301.62321.9520.332.47
LADD001Incl. 317.11321.954.805.40

Borehole LADD001 had an inclination of minus 65 degrees and azimuth of 220 degrees at the start of hole and regular measurements of inclination and azimuth were taken at 30 metre intervals down the hole. All core was orientated and it is estimated that the true widths of the mineralised sections are 82% of the intersected width. All intercepted grades are uncut.

The gold mineralization at Adumbi is associated with a thick package (up to 130 metres) of interbedded banded ironstone and quartz carbonate and chlorite schist with higher grade sections being found in a strongly altered siliceous unit termed “Replaced Rock” (RP) where structural deformation and alteration has completely destroyed the primary host lithological fabric. Disseminated sulphide assemblages include pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite which can attain up to 20% of the total rock in places.

The objective of the 7,000 metre drilling program is to outline additional mineral resources to the current 2.5 million ounces on Loncor’s 84.68%-owned Imbo Project which contains the Adumbi, Kitenge and Manzako deposits (inferred mineral resources of 30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au). At the Adumbi deposit where there is a current inferred resource of 2.19 million ounces of gold (28.97 million tonnes grading 2.35 g/t Au), drilling is targeting mineralized zones within the US$1,500 open pit shell where closer spaced holes such as LADD001 are required to delineate additional mineral resources. Drilling will also focus on outlining mineral resources below the pit shell where the gold mineralization remains open at depth over a strike length of over 600 metres.

In addition to core hole LADD001, LADD003 has now been completed to the southeast of LADD001 and within the open pit shell and will be submitted for assay. Deeper holes LADD004 and LADD005 are currently being drilled to intercept the downdip/down plunge mineralized zone below the open pit (see Figure 2 – Longitudinal Section of the Adumbi Deposit). Hole LADD004 is targeting mineralization 150 metres below previous hole S53 drilled in 2017 which intersected 23.5 metres grading 6.08 g/t Au and 9.37 metres grading 3.70 g/t at the base of the open pit shell.

Commenting on these drilling results, Loncor President Peter Cowley said: “We are encouraged by the results of this first hole of our 7,000 metre drilling program at Adumbi where we are targeting a significant increase of resources, both within and below the open pit shell. Exploration is also ongoing on new targets along the 14 kilometre long mineralized trend on the Imbo permit in order to generate additional drill targets. If we achieve our objectives, the next step will be a Preliminary Economic Assessment to illustrate the positive economic potential that we believe is contained within Adumbi and the neighbouring deposits and other targets within the Imbo exploitation permit.”

Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Drill cores for assaying were taken at a maximum of one-metre intervals and were cut with a diamond saw, with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags by Company geologists and sent to the Company’s on-site sample preparation facility. The core samples were then crushed down to 80% passing minus 2 mm and split with one half of the sample up to 1.5 kg pulverized down to 90% passing 75 microns. Approximately 150 grams of the pulverized sample was then sent to the SGS Laboratory in Mwanza, Tanzania (independent of the Company). Gold analyses were carried out on 50g aliquots by fire assay. In addition, check assays were also carried out by the screen fire assay method to verify high-grade sample assays obtained initially by fire assay. As part of the Company’s QA/QC procedures, internationally recognized standards, blanks and duplicates were inserted into the sample batches prior to submitting to SGS Laboratory.

Qualified Person
Peter N. Cowley, who is President of Loncor and a “qualified person” as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release.

About Loncor Resources Inc.
Loncor is a Canadian gold exploration company focussed on the Ngayu Greenstone Belt in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”). The Loncor team has over two decades of experience of operating in the DRC. Ngayu has numerous positive indicators based on the geology, artisanal activity, encouraging drill results and an existing gold resource base. The area is 220 kilometres southwest of the Kibali gold mine, which is operated by Barrick Gold (TSX: “ABX”; NYSE: “GOLD”). In 2019, Kibali produced record gold production of 814,000 ounces at “all-in sustaining costs” of US$693/oz. Barrick has highlighted the Ngayu Greenstone Belt as an area of particular exploration interest and is moving towards earning 65% of any discovery in approximately 2,000 km2 of Loncor ground in the Ngayu Greenstone Belt that they are exploring. As per the joint venture agreements entered between Loncor and Barrick, Barrick manages and funds exploration on the said ground until the completion of a pre-feasibility study on any gold discovery meeting the investment criteria of Barrick. In a recent announcement Barrick highlighted six prospective drill targets and have commenced confirmation drilling in 2020. Subject to the DRC’s free carried interest requirements, Barrick would earn 65% of any discovery with Loncor holding the balance of 35%. Loncor will be required, from that point forward, to fund its pro-rata share in respect of the discovery in order to maintain its 35% interest or be diluted.

In addition to the Barrick joint ventures, certain parcels of land within the Ngayu Belt surrounding and including the Adumbi and Makapela deposits have been retained by Loncor and do not form part of any of the joint ventures with Barrick. Barrick has certain pre-emptive rights over the Makapela deposit. Adumbi and two neighbouring deposits hold an inferred mineral resource of 2.5 million ounces of gold (30.65 million tonnes grading 2.54 g/t Au), with 84.68% of this resource being attributable to Loncor via its 84.68% interest in the project. Loncor’s Makapela deposit (which is 100%-owned by Loncor) has an indicated mineral resource of 614,200 ounces of gold (2.20 million tonnes grading 8.66 g/t Au) and an inferred mineral resource of 549,600 ounces of gold (3.22 million tonnes grading 5.30 g/t Au).     

Resolute Mining Limited (ASX/LSE: “RSG”) owns 26% of the outstanding shares of Loncor and holds a pre-emptive right to maintain its pro rata equity ownership interest in Loncor following the completion by Loncor of any proposed equity offering.

Candente Copper $DNT.ca Agreement Signed with Forte Copper on Don Gregorio Copper-Gold Project, Peru $DNT.ca $CN.ca $FCX.ca $TECK.ca $FSUGY $PER.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:23 AM on Monday, November 30th, 2020

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Candente Copper Corp. (TSX:DNT, BVL:DNT) (“Candente Copper”, “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into an Assignment Agreement (“AA”) with Forte Copper Corp. (“Forte Copper”), on the Don Gregorio copper-gold porphyry project.

The Company entered into an Option Agreement on the Don Gregorio project with Forte Copper (previously known as Plan B Minerals) in 2017. The recently signed Assignment Agreement allows Forte Copper to move ahead with applications for drilling permits.

Under the Assignment and Option Agreements Forte Copper has the right to earn a 60% interest in the Don Gregorio property by completing the following terms:

  1. Making payments of US$500,000 to Candente; and
  2. Drilling 10,000 metres within three years of receiving drilling permits of which 5,000 metres must be drilled within two years; Forte Copper may pay $100/metre cash in lieu of metres not drilled.
  3. The Assignment Agreement is for 5 years such that if the 10,000 metres have not been drilled (including cash paid in lieu), then the property must be returned to Candente Copper Corp.

To date, the Company has received payments totalling: US$100,000 and reimbursements for fees for annual mineral rights totalling US$41,540.

Candente Copper acquired the Don Gregorio from the Peruvian government in a competitive auction in 2008. Don Gregorio covers a mineralized (copper-gold) porphyry system, that occurs within the same geological trend as Yanacocha, Cerro Corona and Cañariaco.

Don Gregorio (previously referred to as La Huaca) was discovered by Ingemmet (Peruvian government geological survey) in 1974 during a regional exploration program. In 1977, 8 holes were drilled to a maximum of 107 metres (“m”) and intersected o.22 to o.56% Cu over 15m to 100m, averaging 50m and bottoming in mineralization. These holes were not analysed for gold.

In 1992, a Newmont Buenaventura Joint Venture (“JV”) discovered a gold (“Au”) zone in surface samples covering 200m by 700m coincident with copper (“Cu”) previously delineated in a north-northwesterly trending zone. In 1995, the Newmont-Buenaventura JV drilled 4 holes in 800m. These 4 holes were also mineralized to final depths.

The 12 holes totalling 1,642m drilled to date indicate copper and gold mineralization occurs over a minimum of 400m vertically from 2,600 to 2,200 metres in elevation.

Mineral intercepts in the historic drilling include 153.3m of 0.394 percent (“%”) Cu & 0.18 grams per tonne (“g/t “) Au.

Surface samples collected to date include assays of:

  • 20m of 1.23% Cu and 0.26 g/t Au
  • 9m at 1.13% Cu and 0.90 g/t Au
  • 3m at 1.36% Cu and 0.84 g/t Au

About Candente Copper
Candente Copper is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties. The Company is currently focused on its 100% owned Cañariaco project, which includes the Feasibility stage Cañariaco Norte deposit as well as the Cañariaco Sur deposit and Quebrada Verde prospect, located within the western Cordillera of the Peruvian Andes in the Department of Lambayeque in Northern Peru.

The sales and marketing team are building a pipeline of international distribution partners for our SIAscopy ® on DermSecure ® telemedicine platform and are experiencing strong interest in the Company’s unique teledermatology platform. While COVID-19 will continue to have an impact on all businesses, it is increasing the interest in telemedicine in general, albeit it is impacting the rate of implementation. While our revenue increased over the second quarter, the loss for the quarter was higher as we built out our sales team, increased marketing efforts, and spent on continued enhancements to our DermSecure ® platform, and as well, we incurred non-cash share-based compensation expense. We remain convinced that we will have long-term, sustainable growth with the MedX DermSecure ® platform and that it is the ‘Gold Standard’ in the teledermatological market space.”
