VANCOUVER BC / April 8, 2021 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT)(Frankfurt:8EC)(OTCQB:EPWCF) (“Empower” or the “Company“) an integrated healthcare company – serving patients through medical centers, telemedicine platforms and a high complexity medical diagnostics laboratory processing thousands of COVID-19 specimens – today announced a partnership with Snow Agency to launch its direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce solutions.

The Snow Agency is a performance digital marketing and creative agency whose customized brand strategies and content production maximize the impact of direct response ads and creatives on Facebook/Instagram, Google/YouTube, Snapchat, and Email/SMS. To date, they’ve brought in more than $250 million USD in sales for their clients. The Snow Agency has been recognized on Yahoo! Finance ranked as the #1 US Digital Marketing Agency & Digital Agency in January 2021 by Design Rush, a top B2B marketplace connecting brands with agencies.

The collaboration will allow Empower patients, existing and prospective, to benefit from an accessible, seamless and educative experience when purchasing at-home diagnostics test kits. Today patients can purchase at-home COVID-19 saliva test kits by phone or email at www.kaitests.com.

“Empower is committed to make our solutions as convenient as possible to all patients in North America. A DTC e-commerce solution is a key part of that solution.” said Steven McAuley, Chairman & CEO of Empower. “I am privileged to now count Snow Agency as a partner in our journey to deliver at-home testing solutions and empower patients to take control of their own health data.

We see our partnership with Empower as our contribution from Snow Agency to help reopen the economy, allow people to travel with confidence and getting back to normal life.” said Dan Snow, CEO and Co-founder of Snow Agency.

“As a trained physician and a digital marketing entrepreneur, I fully believe in Empower’s at-home diagnostic testing solutions especially its integrated laboratory services at Kai Medical. It’s the time now to digitally transform healthcare, focus on accessibility and convenience for patients and save valuable time and money on stretched public health services. People will need to get tested regularly so we can all get back to normal” said Dr. Jonathan Snow, COO and Co-founder of Snow Agency.

In addition, Fabled was required to pay an additional $200,000 per annum to the Vendor in advance royalty payments, and pay a 2% NSR on the commencement of commercial production. Prior to entering into the Amended Agreement, past and unpaid advance royalty payments of $750,000 were to become due on March 31, 2021. Such amounts are not due under the Amended Agreement.

SX Eco-Mining $SX $SXOOF: Received Latest Shipment of Bulk Test Lithium Material from Iconic $NNX.ca $OM.ca $ICM.ca $CRE.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:34 AM on Wednesday, April 7th, 2021

St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX)(OTC:SXOOF) (CNSX:SX.CN) (FSE:85G1) is pleased to disclose that it has received the latest shipment of bulk material from Iconic’s (TSXV:ICM) Bonnie Claire Lithium Project in Nevada.

As previously reported, St-Georges’ metallurgists were able to concentrate through mineral processing and selective leaching the original feedstock by 25 folds, down to 4% of its initial mass where 99.99% of the lithium was leached into solution after 5 minutes at low temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.

Work on the Bonnie Claire Lithium Project material will now resume along side the on-going work being conducted on other hard rock lithium resources. Current efforts of flow sheet optimisation will focus on front-end challenges, like concentration, and also on the later purification stage, where testing of a newly designed bounding solution should reduce the number of steps required to achieve a 99%+ lithium purity.

Current hypothesis developed using an array of lithium feedstocks from different sources indicate the whole closed-loop initial cycle allows a recovery rate of 90% or better.  Reprocessing of the lithium bearing proprietary acid-blend solution eventually achieves higher total recuperation and achieves battery grade purity.

VANCOUVER, BC ans ERIE, PA , April 7, 2021 – Imagine AR Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTCQB: IPNFF) (“ImagineAR” or “Company”) an Augmented Reality Company that enables sports teams, businesses and enterprises to instantly create their own AR mobile campaigns, has revealed its new brand logo to represent the company’s personality and the experiences it offers to users – immersive augmented reality.

According to the Logo Design team lead, Sylvie Ozipko , “the logo is impactful and now being treated in all capital letters; it offers the brand a strong presence while still keeping it approachable and fun. Using an A with the horizontal line removed, also reinforces the triangle shape in our AR icon and continues our theme of imagination as when read, our brains fill in the missing shapes.  The prism and lighting effects creates depth and interest to the logo and reflect the endless possibilities of our immersive content.”

“The treatment of the AR acronym has two significant parts; first the blue main triangle is the representation of physical space where our experiences are generated; secondly the angled cut out is the perspective of the letter A, and the representation of the interactive piece of an AR experience”, further explained Ms. Ozipko.

CEO of ImagineAR, Alen Paul Silverrstieen, stated “We are excited to reveal our new branded logo which clearly represents ImagineAR today as we expand globally delivering immersive and experiential AR mobile engagements.  Our new re-branded website will be launched within 60 days.”
