Transaction Terms
The proposed transaction (the “Transaction”) is structured as a share purchase agreement whereby in exchange for the purchase of all of the shares of Eureka, NORTHBUD will issue CAD$20 million in common shares (“Common Shares”) to the shareholders of Eureka (the “Eureka Shareholders”) with the price per Common Share to be determined based on a formula of the higher of (a) CAD$0.35 per Common Share and (b) the 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) calculated on the closing date (the “Closing Date”) of a definitive agreement in respect of the transaction (the “Definitive Agreement”). NORTHBUD and Eureka expect to enter into the Definitive Agreement by May 30, 2019. 10% of the Common Shares issued pursuant to the Definitive Agreement will be issued to the Eureka Shareholders on the Closing Date, with the remainder of Common Shares issued in equal tranches of six, twelve, eighteen, and twenty-four months from the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”). The Transaction will be considered a “Fundamental Change” pursuant to the policies of the CSE and will accordingly require a new listing statement (the “Listing Statement”).

Eureka Shareholders will receive Revenue Milestone Shares pro rata, on a quarterly basis, based on the percentage of USD$25 million of revenue generated in that quarter. All Revenue Milestone Shares will continue to be subject to the remainder of the Escrow Period at the time of issuance and will only be releasable in accordance with the Escrow Period. The Revenue Milestone Shares will be issued at the 10-day VWAP at the time of issuance.

“The opportunity to partner with a recognized brand in some of the most developed retail markets in North America is an exciting development for NORTHBUD,” says Ryan Brown, CEO of NORTHBUD. “We believe that vape cartridges represent a high margin and high-growth product segment of the market. The Eureka team are proven operators and possess an unmatched product knowledge which is evidenced by the strong brand loyalty that they have established.”

Mobile accounted for almost 80 per cent of programmatic spend in China last year

By: Tim Maytom

  • Programmatic spending in China has surged over the past year, increasing by 48.6 per cent year-on-year to hit a total of $16.7bn (£11.9bn) in 2017, according to new figures from eMarketer.

Spending was driven by local internet giants like Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, who are expected to continue to dominate the programmatic ad landscape. The so-called ‘BAT companies’ cast a large shadow over digital publishing in the region, with most advertisers buying directly through one of the BAT companies.

As a result, direct sales accounted for 63.5 per cent of programmatic digital display ad spending last year, compared to just 36.5 per cent through real-time bidding.

With many Chinese consumers considered mobile-first, digital advertisers in the region have followed suit, with 79.9 per cent of programmatic spend dedicated to mobile advertising, and mobile expected to keep driving total programmatic growth.

Despite this rapid growth, programmatic’s share of overall display ad spending in China lags behind the US and the UK, at 60 per cent, compared to 78 per cent and 79 per cent respectively. This is largely due to the limited options available to advertisers in China, compared to the more competitive spread of publishers in the US and UK, which enables more spending.

eMarketer’s forecast for the region predicts that growth will continue to slow over the next few years but will remain healthy, dropping to 36.6 per cent this year, and 29.8 per cent in 2019. By 2019, programmatic is expected to account for 69 per cent of all digital display ad spending, with spending of around $29.6bn.

Advance Gold has Identified up to 30 Epithermal veins through the first 2 stages of drilling.

  • AGT-02 Tabasquena intersected 19m of core and is discovery hole of 1.7m of 9.64g/t gold in first 10 metres assayed.
  • La Chiquita – 4.70m Intersection from (109.25 to 113.95) in AGT-04
  • AGT-04 Intersected new Vein Yaki for 0.8m, crosscutting La Chiquita vein for 4.70m,the Tabasquena vein for 10 metres in the oxide zone & the La Nina vein for 11m (129-140m depth)

Phase 3 Drilling

  • In the first two phases of drilling, Advance discovered a cluster of epithermal veins, all but a few of them blind, which suggests this drilling intersected the top of the epithermal vein system.
  • The results from the 2 phases of drilling returned significant gold mineralization (see Press Releases November 1, 2018 and November 6, 2018)
  • A key focus of the phase 3 drilling will be to drill deeper and target the boiling zone of the epithermal vein system. The cluster of veins dip toward a fault which is considered a key structural feature.
  • A proposed hole will start from the east side of the fault, drill west, to then go through the cluster of veins to catch them at the boiling zone.

$HPQ.ca Gen2 PUREVAP(TM) Testing of Tapping Section of Pilot Plant Design and Subsystems, De-Risking Up-Coming Pilot Plant Trials $PYR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:15 AM on Tuesday, March 5th, 2019
  • Announced the receipt of a progress report from PyroGenesis Canada Inc (TSX Venture: PYR) describing continuous development testing of the pilot plant design and reactor related subsystems of the Silicon Melt Drainage (Tapping) part of the process.  
  • Work of the Gen2 PUREVAP™ Commercial Scalability Proof of Concept platform is undertaken in order to minimize the risk of design failure during the pilot plant trials schedule to start mid-2019.

MONTREAL, March 05, 2019 – HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. (HPQ) (TSX VENTURE:HPQ) (FRANKFURT:UGE) (OTC PINK:URAGF) is pleased to announce the receipt of a progress report from PyroGenesis Canada Inc (“PyroGenesis”) (TSX Venture: PYR) describing continuous development testing of the pilot plant design and reactor related subsystems of the Silicon Melt Drainage (Tapping) part of the process.  This work of the Gen2 PUREVAP™ Commercial Scalability Proof of Concept platform is undertaken in order to minimize the risk of design failure during the pilot plant trials schedule to start mid-2019.

DRAINAGE OF LIQUID SILICON MELT AT THE BOTTOM OF REACTOR (TAPPING) CRITICAL TO PROCESS

Drainage of silicon (tapping) is one of the most important aspects of the process.  Efforts have been made by PyroGenesis to optimize the design of the melt drainage subsystems of the pilot plant.  In order to test design efficiency and to generate computational studies to predict the tapping behaviour of liquid silicon in the Gen3 pilot plant, a few silicon melting and tapping tests using GEN2 reactor have been conducted to date.

SIMULATED TAPPING DONE USING GEN2

To simulate the tapping process of the pilot plant unit, the Gen2 reactor was ramped up to operating parameters with a standard mixture of quartz and carbon introduced at the beginning.  Once the reactor reached operating temperature as-received Si is introduced in the reactor for effective melting.  Once the whole Si mass melted, the tap hole was opened to drain the liquid metal and the data from the test was then used to generate computational studies.

Mr. Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ Silicon Resources Inc stated: “We are very happy to show our first ever public picture of the Gen2 in action.  What these tests demonstrate is the incredible versatility of our Gen2 PUREVAPTM QRR platform, highlighting the advancement being made on the project and toward de-risking the mid-2019, Gen3 commercial scalability testing phase”.

Pierre Carabin, Eng., M. Eng., Chief Technology Officer and Chief Strategist of PyroGenesis has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release.

This News Release is available on the company’s CEO Verified Discussion Forum, a moderated social media platform that enables civilized discussion and Q&A between Management and Shareholders.

Menashe Kestenbaum, CEO of Enthusiast commented, “We are really excited about EGLX 2019, and we have some exciting additions in the pipeline for the expo in October 2019. Last year, we had capacity issues and had to stop selling tickets on the Saturday. To avoid any issues this year, we have expanded into the North Hall of the MTCC and plan to have more sponsors and higher attendance numbers.” He added, “We have already seen tremendous growth since we started EGLX in 2015, and in only a few short years we have grown into the largest video game expo in Canada and now have plans to expand into the United States in 2020. Attendees at EGLX 2019 can expect continued growth with more sponsors, more space and a larger focus on Esports and tournaments.”

The company is looking at opportunities to expand EGLX to multiple cities across North America. With the bulk of Enthusiast’s online traffic originating in the US, it’s a logical next step in the expansion process and the Company has already received strong interest from multiple US cities and partners wanting EGLX.  Enthusiast is planning its multi city expansion into the US starting in 2020.

CardioComm Solutions $EKG.ca Prepares New FDA Applications for Direct-to-Consumer and Physician Use Cardiac Arrhythmia Algorhythms $ATE.ca $TLT.ca $OGI.ca $ACST.ca $IPA.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:43 AM on Tuesday, March 5th, 2019

Apps for Automated Atrial Fibrillation and Prolonged QT Interval Detection will be Included in the Scope of Detection Options

  • Preparing US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“) 510(k) Class II medical device clearance applications for new arrhythmia detection algorithms.
  • Main application will be for GEMS™ Rhythm, a full suite of arrhythmia detection tools designed for use with GEMS™ WIN, which is licensed to hospitals, clinics and commercial ECG scanning services

Toronto, Ontario – (March 5, 2019) – CardioComm Solutions, Inc. (TSXV: EKG) (“CardioComm” or the “Company“), a global provider of consumer heart monitoring and electrocardiogram (“ECG“) acquisition and management software solutions, is preparing US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA“) 510(k) Class II medical device clearance applications for new arrhythmia detection algorithms.

The main application will be for GEMS™ Rhythm, a full suite of arrhythmia detection tools designed for use with GEMS™ WIN, which is licensed to hospitals, clinics and commercial ECG scanning services. GEMS™ Rhythm will support long-term, continuous recordings of ECGs that are associated with new and higher paying reimbursement codes in Canada and the US. GEMS™ Rhythm will also be capable of running on smartphones, removing the dependence on access to cloud-based systems for the collection and interpretation of ECG data.

The Company will also seek approvals for GEMS™ Rhythm AF and GEMS™ Rhythm QT for consumer and prescription use. These auto-detection algorithms will be available as add-on features to the recently FDA- cleared GEMS™ Mobile app, the only iOS and Android smartphone ECG app that can connect to different manufacturers’ ECG monitoring devices. GEMSTM Mobile with Rhythm AF will compete against solutions from AliveCor, Apple and others.

GEMS™ Rhythm QT would be the first QT interval prolongation screening solution released for smartphone use. QT interval abnormalities have been associated with sudden cardiac death sometimes seen in athletes and in patients prescribed certain medications. These abnormalities are better detected by devices like CardioComm’s HeartCheck™ ECG PEN and HeartCheck™ CardiBeat, both of which allow a lead II ECG trace to be recorded.

The ability for GEMS™ Mobile to link consumer use of ECG devices to hospitals where GEMS™ WIN is licensed extends the patient monitoring experience beyond the fixed and short-term use of traditional, large and expensive ECG monitoring devices. This should lead to better patient care outcomes and open additional billing code revenue-generating opportunities for health care organizations.

To learn more about CardioComm’s products and for further updates regarding HeartCheck™ ECG device integrations please see the Company’s websites at www.cardiocommsolutions.com and www.theheartcheck.com.
