Loop Insights $MTRX.ca $RACMF Announces Intention To Begin Process Of Uplisting To Major North American Stock Exchanges, Commencing With Application To Uplist On #TSX, Followed By Application To Dual-List On #NASDAQ

https://miro.medium.com/max/3150/1*f9msDHyceA_TbRM30jQhsw.png
  • Announced the approval by the Board of Directors of the Company’s intended plan to begin the process of uplisting to major North American Stock Exchanges.
  • Uplist Plan outlines Loop’s proposed plan to apply to have its common shares uplisted to the Toronto Stock Exchange, as a technology company, from the TSX Venture Exchange
  • Secondly, if the Company is successful in uplisting to the TSX, Loop intends to, as soon as practical, begin the process of filing a Form F-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States, which will enable Loop to apply to be listed on the NASDAQ.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 07, 2020 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV) (RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement, and automated venue tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the approval by the Board of Directors of the Company’s intended plan (“Uplist Plan”) to begin the process of uplisting to major North American Stock Exchanges.

The Uplist Plan outlines Loop’s proposed plan to apply to have its common shares uplisted to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), as a technology company, from the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). Completion of the Uplist Plan is subject to meeting certain conditions, as well as the approval of the TSX. There is no assurance that the TSX will approve the listing application or that Loop will complete the Uplist Plan as proposed.

Secondly, if the Company is successful in uplisting to the TSX, Loop intends to, as soon as practical, begin the process of filing a Form F-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States (the “SEC”), which will enable Loop to apply to be listed on the NASDAQ. In the opinion of the Board, legal counsel, and financial advisors, a NASDAQ listing application would be better served coming from a TSX listed company, as opposed to a direct application from the TSXV. Any such listing application is subject to meeting the stringent conditions of the SEC, as well as, the approval of the NASDAQ. There is no assurance that either the SEC or NASDAQ will approve the Company’s respective applications or that Loop will complete the listing to the NASDAQ as proposed. Loop may elect to not complete the uplist to the TSX or the NASDAQ for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, unfavourable market conditions, the additional regulatory and financial burden of being listed on the TSX or the NASDAQ, or other conditions affecting the business or operations of Loop.

UPLIST PLAN ENACTED IN ANTICIPATION OF COMPANY GROWTH IN 2021

2020 has seen extraordinary growth for the Company in terms of its technology stack, customer acquisitions, Tier-1 partnerships, technology deployments, and most importantly, the growth of the Company’s sales pipeline. Though Loop cannot provide any assurances as to the success stemming from its current and growing sales pipeline, we are of the strong opinion that we will continue to see increased demand in the marketplace for our AI data applications and product services. The digital transformation driven by COVID-19 has accelerated Loop’s products across all industries and channels. As a result, Loop is well-positioned to be a big winner in the global digital transformation opportunity, as we seek to develop the connective tissue that bridges all data worlds together in real-time.

The Company’s main goal from the outset was to be the first publicly-traded, Artificial Intelligence, data play that delivers the ability to connect and to provide real-time data applications across the big three channels; In-Store, E-Commerce, and M-Commerce. The Company has not only accomplished this goal in 2020, it has begun to commercialize and build a strong pipeline of Tier-1 global brands.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “As a result of our immutable relevancy, high demand for Loop’s products, pipeline growth, and ability to easily scale into a global marketplace that is in full press digital transformation, we expect a continued accelerated pace that now warrants an uplist and dual list strategy that will attract institutional investors commensurate with our anticipated profile in 2021 and far beyond.”

December 5, 2020 – Toronto, New York – Binovi Technologies Corp., (TSXV:VISN ) | ( OTC:BNVIF), a leader in neuro-vision performance technology, is redefining the delivery of its vision based cognitive training SaaS through the launch of Binovi Connect, a web-based video conferencing app solution that leverages the Best-In-Class SaaS to provide remote telehealth capabilities. Binovi Connect provides the opportunity for the Company to compete and offer care in any market in the world, hyper-scaling its growth through the optimization of its provider network (over 800 registered providers), and facilitating care to individuals from the classroom or the comfort of home. Binovi Connect enables users to connect with vision care professionals focused on concussion, reading skills, athletic enhancement. The company has invested over $6M into product development and is well positioned to take its Global Expert Network and make them available to the millions of people that need their help now.

“There is a great demand for healthcare services through digital platforms, amplified by the restrictions brought on by COVID-19. Professionals are looking for evidence-based, outcome-oriented solutions that offer virtual health resources for their patients, while patients are looking for a vision care experience comparable to in-person visits. Binovi Connect will allow us to scale our reach and service offering globally,” stated Adam Cegielski, Binovi CEO.

The global telehealth user community has become increasingly dependent on agile solutions that are intuitive and reliable; ease-of-use and performance are critical qualities of video service adoption. Leading contributors to telehealth SaaS include CloudMD (TSXV:DOC) , IBM Corporation (NYSE:IBM), Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ:CERN), Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) , Medtronic PLC (NYSE:MDT) . Strategic telehealth industry partnerships and collaborations will enable providers to gain a significant edge with service offerings. The Binovi Platform resources are compatible with a variety of software and hardware support solutions.  The company is expecting to launch a Beta version of the app by fiscal Q1 2021.

The company is currently targeting the 50m+ students currently enrolled in K-12 Education in North America, of which approximately 20% have undetected binocular vision problems. Binovi Connect will allow users to get the benefit of quick screening, immediate optometric evaluation, and training and therapy.  Recent global events relating to COVID-19 have forced healthcare providers to re-imagine the care model with remote care as a viable solution.

“We are very excited to offer this leading solution as a standard feature to all of our relationships,” said Terry Booth, Binovi Executive Chairman. “We strive to connect users with our vast global provider network through this pandemic and beyond.”

Providing the ultimate in flexibility for both providers and users, Binovi Connect allows users to browse through the entire Binovi provider network, selecting providers that meet their medical needs, performance goals, personal preferences, budget and scheduling sessions that work with their schedule.

Binovi Connect will enable school boards —in collaboration with vision specialists— to conduct screening as part of the curriculum, identifying and addressing potential issues before they can manifest as difficulties or impairments. Binovi Connect’s goal is to link knowledgeable vision care providers with patients, broadening the reach for practitioners and improving accessibility for patients. This solution will ultimately expand upon the company’s existing SaaS offering, providing greater flexibility between in-clinic and remote care appointments.

“Binovi uses cutting-edge technology and an innovative approach to bring a telehealth solution to market, comprised of a suite of tools, including testing, training, and education for vision care providers around the world. With Binovi Connect, we are bringing all this functionality to our end users —students, athletes, vision therapy and concussion patients— mediated by our network of specialists – all remotely,” commented Sam Mithani PhD, Binovi CTO.

Binovi Connect Providers will be able to:

  • – Set own schedule and manage practice in one place – Expand client base by reaching out to new clients – Binovi Pro and Binovi Coach integration and compatibility – Access Binovi Academy eLearning content – Conduct assessments, capture activity data, and therapy / training exercises remotely – Offer one-on-one or group sessions to reach even more people! – Collaborate with other specialists to provide the best testing, training, and treatment possible – Capture and review diagnostic, training, and milestone data on each user

Loop Insights $MTRX.ca $RACMF Lands 2nd Product With #Telus $T.ca … And Goes Trophy Hunting For Major Customers $AT.ca $QTRH.ca $SNSR $BSQR $PTS.ca

On December 3rd, Loop Insights announced “The launch of a second product into the TELUS (T:TSX; TU:NYSE)  IoT Marketplace for national sales and marketing To TELUS Business Customers.”    

This comes less than 50 days since Loop announced the acceptance of its first product into the TELUS IoT Marketplace.   

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL  

The first goal of the Pilot, was for Loop to achieve exponential scale through a channel reseller distribution partnership for its Insights service with TELUS, which has now been achieved.   

The second goal of the Pilot is a rollout of Loop’s Insights service to ALL TELUS corporate stores. That hasn’t happened yet but Loop has advised it will provide an update on this when it becomes available.  

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL  

Signing of the 2nd deal with TELUS has apparently started the Loop phone ringing off the hook, including continued discussions with other major telcos.  Earlier this year, Loop reported it was speaking to 4 major telecom companies on both sides of the border.  

Finally, with the Company’s #VegasBubble 100% delivered and executed, Loop CEO Robert Anson talks about the ripple effects of being the first company in the world to protect a major event.

Not Enough Class 1 Nickel In The Pipeline – Sherritt CEO SPONSOR: Tartisan Nickel $TN.ca $RNX.ca $TSLA $NOB.ca $SHL.ca $CNC.ca $FPC.ca $NICO.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 11:01 AM on Friday, December 4th, 2020
Tc logo in black

SPONSOR: Tartisan Nickel Corp’s flagship asset, the Kenbridge Nickel Deposit, hosts an updated resource estimate of 7.5 Mt of 0.58% nickel and 0.32% copper for a total of 95 Mlb of contained nickel. Tartisan also owns equity stakes in Eloro Resources Ltd. that is exploring the ISKA ISKA project, and the low-sulphidation epithermal La Victoria Gold/Silver Project in Ancash, Peru. Class 1 Nickel & Technologies Limited who are advancing the Alexo-Kelex Dundonald nickel project near Timmins Ontario and Peruvian Metals Corporation who are operating a toll mill in Peru. Click Here For More Info

With the spotlight shining on nickel, Canadian miner Sherritt International’s (TSX:S) CEO David Pathe sees brighter days ahead.

Sherritt, which has significant assets in Cuba, has weathered storms ever since Pathe’s predecessor gambled on partnering with Havana’s communist government in the 1990s, and the miner was pushed to the brink during president Trump’s tenure, when early last year, the White House began ramping up sanctions on Cuba.

Nickel has been a tough business since the financial crisis, and Sherritt’s market value sunk to a record low C$29.8 million ($22.8 million) in March from its 2008 peak of C$4.8 billion, trading at a low of eight Canadian cents.

In February, Sherritt had announced a proposed transaction designed to improve its capital structure and reduce the company’s debt by half, and at the end of August, Pathe said it closed a “significant restructuring” of all of its debt tied to exiting the costly Ambitovy project in Madagascar, eliminating C$300 million in debt and pushing out loan payments due next year to 2026.

Pathe said covid-19 pandemic disruptions haven’t had any material effect on operations, after making some adaptations, and the company is on track to hit production targets.

The world needs more battery metals

Given the chasm between future demand for battery raw materials used in electric vehicles and new supply entering the market over the next decade, the current low price environment for lithium, cobalt, graphite and less so nickel is not likely to endure.

At its much-hyped Battery Day event in September, automaker Telsa CEO Elon Musk called on the world’s miners to make more nickel, while hardly mentioning cobalt.

“There isn’t any new, meaningful capacity in class 1 nickel anywhere in the pipeline, because the price of nickel over the last ten years hasn’t supported it”

David Pathe, CEO, Sherritt International

While Pathe is optimistic about nickel demand, he said reducing cobalt by volume will continue, but doesn’t see it being eliminated from the battery metals supply chain.

“There isn’t any other metal that does what cobalt does in terms of stability and seeing a battery through temperature changes and the thermodynamics of charging,” Pathe told MINING.COM. “We don’t think you’ll see cobalt eliminated from batteries any time soon.”

While Musk’s call for miners to produce more nickel lifted prices, California-based Tesla couldn’t buy from Sherritt without violating the US embargo on Cuba.

“We are expecting to see a bit of an inflection point in nickel prices,” Pathe told Bloomberg, adding the attention Musk is drawing “is good for the industry as a whole, including us.”

Pathe said he is hoping that now, the differentiation between class 1 nickel for batteries and nickel pig iron, which accounts for most of the supply in the market, will strengthen class 1 nickel price.

“The challenge with the whole automobile industry now is that they are looking at their plants to ramp up electric vehicle production in the next 5 to 20 years, and if you look at global nickel production – class 1 nickel, used for batteries, and the capacity just isn’t there, and there isn’t any new, meaningful capacity in class 1 nickel anywhere in the pipeline, because the price of nickel over the last ten years hasn’t supported it. ”

Pathe said automakers are “coming to appreciate that, and seeing how different the mining industry is from the automobile industry.”

Mines will be needed to feed new industrial production, and Pathe said automakers are getting their minds around their nickel supply strategy and what it’s going to look like.

Pathe said there isn’t enough class 1 nickel production in the pipeline, and said plants need metals supply to ensure the viability of the auto (EV) industry, while North America catches up with Europe and China.

“That is the way the world is going, and I think its further evidence that we are getting closer and closer to a tipping point. Disruptive changes take a while to build momentum,” Pathe said.

House Gets Ready For Historic Vote On Federal Marijuana Prohibition SPONSOR Harborside $HBOR.ca $VFF.to $HARV.ca $ACB.to

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:03 PM on Thursday, December 3rd, 2020
https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.agoracom.com/public/companies/logos/564690/hub/Harborside_Inc2_logo.png

SPONSOR: Harborside is a California-focused, vertically integrated, fully licensed cannabis company with its business consisting of three primary segments, Retail Dispensaries, Cultivation and Processing and Wholesale Sales (including branded product sales). Harborside operates the only drive through dispensary in California

This week the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on a bill that would remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and require federal courts to expunge many prior marijuana offenses. It will be the first time the full House will vote on ending the federal prohibition of cannabis.

Morgan Fox with the National Cannabis Industry Association says House passage would “send a really strong message to not only the rest of Congress, but to a lot of other states that the time to end prohibition has come.”

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act (MORE Act), introduced by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), would eliminate conflict between state and federal law and allow states to set their own marijuana policies.

 “We don’t need to have one size fits all. We just need to get rid of prohibition and then let the states do what the states are doing. It’s essentially what the states have done already. They haven’t waited for the federal government, which is why we have a lot of these discrepancies and challenges,” said Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D., Ore.), who has long pushed for marijuana legalization.

 Blumenauer and Rep. Barbara Lee (D., Calif.) — who also wrote parts of the legislation — told Yahoo Finance the bill is a racial justice issue.

 “It’s coming at a time when Americans are recognizing how hopelessly flawed the criminal justice system is,” said Blumenauer.

‘You’ve got to repair the damage’

The MORE Act would impose a 5% sales tax on marijuana and marijuana products. The revenue would go toward a new trust fund for grant programs designed to help people “adversely impacted by the War on Drugs” access job training, re-entry services, legal aid, treatment and more. The bill would also provide protections prohibiting denial of federal benefits based on use, possession or conviction for a marijuana offense.

“Regardless of who you are, if you’ve been incarcerated and if you’ve done your time and you get out, you should be provided for a second chance,” Lee told Yahoo Finance. “When you’ve been incarcerated or when you have have a record based on unjust laws — they’re really targeted in many ways, Black and Brown people — then you’ve got to make restitution, you’ve got to repair the damage. This fund is about the time that was lost because of barriers to employment, because of incarceration.”

The MORE Act would open up more opportunities for marijuana businesses, including access to Small Business Administration funding. It would also require the Bureau of Labor Statistics to gather demographic data on cannabis business owners and employees to ensure people of color and economically disadvantaged people are taking part in the industry.

“That really sets out a process for equity in the industry. This is a job-creating industry, and it also provides economic opportunities for minority-owned business owners,” said Lee.Graphic by David Foster/Yahoo Finance

The House Judiciary Committee passed the MORE Act last year 24 to 10 — Rep. Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) and Rep. Tom McClintock (R., Calif.) were the only Republicans who voted for the bill.

In an interview with Yahoo Finance, McClintock said while he didn’t endorse marijuana, it’s clear U.S. marijuana laws have “not accomplished their goals.”

“These laws have done far more harm than good. They’ve created a violent underground economy and ruined the lives of so many young people who’ve had a youthful marijuana conviction, follow them and ruin their lives,” said McClintock.

The House was scheduled to vote on the bill in September, but Democratic leadership postponed the vote because some members in tight races worried passing the MORE Act before a stimulus package could hurt them at the polls.

Nearly a month after the election, there is still no additional coronavirus relief and many Republicans are again slamming Democrats for what they see as prioritizing the cannabis bill over coronavirus relief efforts.

Democrats have already passed two versions of the Heroes Act and argue it’s the Trump administration and Republican Senate that’s holding up stimulus talks.
