Datametrex $DM.ca Announces Another Sale of #COVID19 Test Kits for $850,000 to a Canadian Mining Company

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:24 AM on Monday, July 6th, 2020
  • Announced a purchase order of 20,000 COVID-19 test kits from a Canadian based mining company with operations worldwide. This PO is for one of their Latin American mine operations
  • Total gross sales amount is approximately $850,000 CDN, excluding shipping and courier fees
  • The Company has secured all requested testing kits, swabs, tubes, and the PCR machines

TORONTO, July 06, 2020 – Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex“) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) is pleased to announce a purchase order (the “PO”) of 20,000 COVID-19 test kits from a Canadian based mining company (the “Purchaser”) with operations worldwide. This PO is for one of their Latin American mine operations.

The total gross sales amount is approximately $850,000 CDN, excluding shipping and courier fees. The Company has secured all requested testing kits, swabs, tubes, and the PCR machines. All of the items will be delivered directly to the mining company at their operating site in Latin America in mid-July. The Company anticipates little or no up front costs associated with the sale of these kits.

“Datametrex is assisting with the implementing of test kits as it is a fundamental response to the pandemic, and those mining companies that have been able to test more comprehensively have had greater success,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company. “The reasoning is simple: An individual who tests positive can be isolated until they recover, and their contacts may be traced and similarly tested and isolated, effectively reducing the rate of transmission.”

Under the terms of the PO, Datametrex will provide the Purchaser with 20,000 units of the COVID-19 qPCR Detection Kits manufactured by 1drop Inc. (“1drop”), 20,000 Universal Transport Medium (UTM®), Sterile Swabs with 16x100mm and Skirted Tubes. The Company also sold two (2) Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction Detection System (“PCR”) machines along with software to ensure optimal assay performance of the samples.

Some Latin American countries are seeing shocking unemployment figures as the pandemic has caused hunger to rise in the region. The fallout from the pandemic is being felt hardest in Latin America, and has seen an almost three-fold rise in the number of people requiring government assistance, and among urban communities in low and middle-income countries, which are being dragged into destitution by job losses, especially in the mining sector. Millions of people are out of work in Brazil, Chile and Colombia, which have all attempted to re-open sectors of their economies but were hit with fast-spreading infections.

About 1drop Inc.

1drop Inc. aims to provide a solution to manage health with a drop of fluid. It has the key technologies for becoming a global leading company in the field of smart health care. 1copy™ COVID-19 qPCR Multi Kit can reduce the risk of asymptomatic and latent infection of COVID-19 by a single virus level limit of detection.

  • IMAGINEAR SIGNS PARTNERSHIP WITH FIRST ESCAPE ROOMS IN AMERICA TO INCORPORATE AUGMENTED REALITY – WITH POTENTIAL GLOBAL EXPANSION
  • Escape Room NJ, with 3 locations in New Jersey, has executed a partnership agreement to become both a client and reseller of ImagineAR
  • Escape Room NJ will be first-ever Escape Room in North America to integrate immersive Augmented Reality within their three locations, as well as, offer AR Scavenger Hunts to their consumer and corporate clientele
  • There are over 2,000 Escape Rooms around the world

VANCOUVER, BC and ERIE Pa., June 30, 2020  - Imagine AR Inc. (IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB) (“ImagineAR” or “Company”) an Augmented Reality Company that enables businesses, sports teams and organizations to create their own AR campaigns, would like to take this opportunity to provide investors with a mid-year corporate update during this holiday shortened week in which both the Canadian and American stock markets will be closed for their respective independence day holidays.

Though the Company fully expects to resume the release of further news related to significant business development after this week, investors will be happy to hear about new developments in this update.

AN INCREDIBLE BUT NOT SURPRISING 2020 SO FAR FOR IMAGINEAR

Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO of ImagineAR, stated “This was the year that, by all expert accounts, was the year that Augmented Reality would begin to make its first commercialization push and it did not disappoint.  Despite dramatic geo-political, economic and societal volatility from the start of 2020 resulting in delays to some of our negotiations, we were still able to close a significant financing, announce significant national and global partnerships, and add top notch people to our board and team.  It is safe to say that we anticipate significant results to stem from this positioning in the second half of the year and, quite frankly, for the foreseeable future”.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION APPRECIATION IN 2020

The Company’s great progress in 2020, as well as, positioning for growth can best be observed through our market capitalization growth in 2020.  At the outset of the year, ImagineAR had a market capitalization of less than $5,000,000.  Today, that figure sits at approximately $25,000,000.

Furthermore, liquidity and dollar volume trading in the first quarter was encouraging and showed us signs of promise, which came to fruition at the end of the second quarter with daily dollar volume trading regularly exceeding $500,000 and even surpassing $3,000,000 recently.  

Silverrstieen added “With a market cap of approximately $25 million dollars, ImagineAR continues to provide investors with a great opportunity to participate in the anticipated growth of Augmented Reality, which promises to be a disruptive over the next 3 years and then well beyond into the rest of the decade”.

January 21 – Retained Mackie Research For Capital Market Services

January 30 – Closed Financing First Tranche Of $560,000

February 11 – Mike Tuncliffe, Former EVP & Head Of Universal Music Group and Brands, Joins Advisory Board.

May 12 – ImagineAR Announces Partnership With Engaged Nation, An Award Winning Digital Marketing Firm For Casinos

May 19 – ImagineAR Appoints Troy Miller, With Over $500 Million In Career Sports Sponsorships and Media Deals, As Advisor For Sports Venues and Live Streaming

June 15 – ImagineAR Teams Up With Music Superstar Flo Rida, NBA Superstar Dwyane Wade and Broward County Education Fund To Help Students Celebrate Graduation Through Augmented Reality

HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport

  • Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world
  • HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables

By: Bernard Marr Contributor

Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world. HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables. The company has three AR offerings, including HADO Augmented Sport (Player vs. Player), HADO Monster Battle, and HADO Shoot; they will soon add HADO Kart.

HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport

First Experience to Merge Physical Athletics with AR Technology

In HADO Augmented Sport, you can see how physical the game can be. It resembles dodgeball with players competing in an arena and flipping and bending to avoid being hit by the opposing team’s energy balls. Competitors can play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. Each team stays on one side of the court. The goal is to hit the other team with as many energy balls as possible to drain them of their “lives” and get points during a timed event.

Players can defend themselves with shields and barriers. If the shields get hit, they will weaken and ultimately need to be recharged. If you remember playing dodgeball, there is a lot of ducking and diving in HADO, just as there is in the traditional dodgeball game. Quick reflexes and coordination are necessary to avoid being hit. Players also have the option to alter their play characteristics to become more defensive (shields get stronger, but a slower recharge time for attacks) or offensive (quick recharge time after attacks, but shields are weaker). In addition to shield thickness and recharge speed, players can alter the bullet size. These adjustments can allow for different players on the same team to play different strategic roles in the competition.

AR of HADO

The digital experience is enabled by an AR device that players wear on their heads and a motion sensor the size of a smartphone worn on the wrist or forearm. Players are able to move unrestricted in the real environment while interacting with the digital items they can see through the AR headset. This is not a sport played in your living room, but in 60+ arenas in 15 countries that give ample space for the competition similar to other physical sports such as volleyball and basketball. AR tech is also lighter weight, so players can dive and move without feeling weighed down. The possibilities allowed through AR make applications for HADO’s e-sport virtually unlimited.

Physical Fitness with HADO

HADO requires players who are physically agile and have gaming skills as well. Players who succeed at the game will be in constant motion while diving, bending, and squatting to evade the energy balls hurled by the other team. When players shoot energy balls, they use a punching motion. Players must have great hand-eye coordination and be adept at blocking from a variety of angles. There are VR games such as Sparc and Audioshield that can help players with hand-eye coordination training required to be good at HADO.

Global Expansion

HADO has held several competitions and events in Asia, including the HADO World Cup tournament where the world’s top players compete for a cash prize and bragging rights as the HADO World Champions. There are plans to expand globally by 2020. Currently, 600,000 users have experienced HADO sports.

HADO is launching a pro AR league in Japan this year as well. Tournaments are planned every week and will award a cash prize to the winners. The first official season of the pro league begins in the third quarter of 2019.

As this new concept of e-sports gains popularity, a HADO arena might open near you, where you will be able to compete with other players locally to see what it’s all about. Until then, you can watch YouTube to see players in action.

Not only did Meleap make many childhood dreams come true with the creation of HADO and by bringing virtual and physical realms together, but they proved that AR technology and athletic sports can be combined for an entirely new experience. It will be interesting to watch as others apply these concepts to other sports competitions and use cases in a variety of industries.

A Novel Product for Child Nutrition

  • ELSE stands out as a unique supplemental beverage for 3-12 year-olds
  • It has the essential vitamins and nutrients that many children lack in their usual diets
  • Unlike competitor products, ELSE contains no milk or soy proteins, also making it ideal for kids with such allergies

by Dr. Leah Alexander

Ensuring that a child has a balanced, healthy diet can be a challenge for parents.  Every family situation is different, but a variety of factors can prevent children from eating nutritious foods.  Some families live in communities where access to fresh food markets is limited.  Instead, fast food establishments and convenience stores are the only local food sources.  Other families live in areas of food shortages due to climate effects, civil unrest, or poverty.  In other cases, it is simply that a child has developed taste preferences for high fat, sweetened, and salty foods due to introduction during the toddler years.  Whatever the reason, a report by The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), “State of the World’s Children 2019,” shows some startling statistics (source):  

  • 1 in 3 children under the age of 5 are either undernourished or overweight, resulting in stunting of growth, muscle wasting, and obesity
  • 1 in 2 children suffers from “hidden hunger,” deficiencies in vitamins and essential nutrients
  • 1 in 5 children aged 5 to 19 are considered overweight (BMI >19)

The World Health Organization’s analysis provides similar results (source).  Children worldwide are not consuming the proper nutrients in their diets.

A healthy diet is important for optimal growth and cognitive development.  Calcium absorption for maximum bone density, increase in muscle mass, and brain maturation occurs throughout childhood.  If the appropriate nutrients are lacking, these important milestones are affected.  Iron, in particular, is important for brain function;  research has shown reduced academic achievement in the presence of iron deficiency (source).  Unfortunately, children are not consistently eating enough of the right kinds of foods.  According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), calories from added sugars and fats contribute to 40% of the daily caloric intake for children aged 2 to 18 (source).  The primary sources of these calories come from soda, fruit drinks, desserts, pizza, and whole milk.  Based on this, it is clear that improvements need to be made regarding global child nutrition.

The WHO recommends a balanced diet of grains or tubers (i.e. potatoes, yams), legumes, vegetables, fruits, and proteins (source).  Vegetables and fruits provide essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, plant protein, and antioxidants.  These all lower the risk of obesity, heart disease, type II diabetes, and some forms of cancer.  A diet with adequate protein is important for both muscle and tissue building.  How much of each food group a child should eat varies by age, gender, and amount of physical activity (source).  When too much or too little are consumed, the risk of health-related illness increases.

A Pediatric Perspective 

In clinical practice, I have witnessed a variety of childhood eating habits.  In the best scenario, some children seem to naturally be “healthy eaters,” enjoying any food put on the plate.  Other kids prefer only fruits, therefore, missing the nutrients vegetables would provide.  Then, there are children who will only eat a few foods from each food group.  While some of these “selective eaters” have a diagnosed developmental disorder or autism, many do not.  Additionally, there seems to be a preference for what I call the “Kid Junk Food Trifecta”:  chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, and pizza.  The chicken nuggets are typically from a fast-food establishment, the macaroni is the “boxed” version, and, by pizza, it means only dough, sauce, and cheese.  Although there are many theories as to why children may refuse healthy foods, research has shown an association of food marketing with unhealthy food choices.  Advertisers promote products that are kid-friendly but often low in nutritional value (source).  When seen often enough, children find the advertised food to be more appealing, choosing it over healthier options.

Efforts to Improve the Current Trends in Child Nutrition 

In order to address the UNICEF concerns about stunted growth during the early childhood years, nutritional beverages have been developed by infant baby formula companies.  In theory, by offering a supplement with vitamins, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, parents have another way to provide essential nutrients.  Creative marketing has convinced many parents that these products are nutritious and beneficial.  Examining the ingredients, however, there are some concerns.  The second or third ingredient is often sugar.  While this added sugar may give an appealing taste to the product, it can promote tooth decay and obesity.  It also increases the likelihood of developing type II diabetes later in life.  Although it may not have been the intention of the developers, the high sugar content of these beverages puts them in the category of a “sugary drink,” something the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages  (source).  The CDC agrees, stating that no more than 10% or 200 calories of one’s total daily calories should come from sugar (source).  The currently available nutritional beverages contain 12-18% sugar, much more than is recommended.  Fortunately, there is a much better option, ELSE.

Else Plant-Based Kids Nutritional Drink

ELSE stands out as a unique supplemental beverage for 3-12 year-olds.  It has the essential vitamins and nutrients that many children lack in their usual diets.  Unlike competitor products, ELSE contains no milk or soy proteins, also making it ideal for kids with such allergies.  Those who follow a vegan diet will find this aspect appealing as well (some versions of the competitor product contain tuna oil).  There are no artificial flavors in ELSE.  As an added bonus, ELSE contains the essential fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA).  Although most important during the first 2 years of life, there is growing evidence of the benefits of DHA in older children and adults (source).

There are some special situations where ELSE may be beneficial.  For example, children with inflammatory bowel disease often eat less due to abdominal pain, and their bowel inflammation impairs nutrient absorption.  ELSE could be a source of nutrients that are difficult for these children to get.  Young cancer patients suffering from anorexia during chemotherapy treatments may benefit from this product as well.  In situations of food scarcity, such as during a natural disaster, ELSE could be a temporary, supplemental source of nutrition. 

The WHO has set goals for child nutrition with the hope of meeting them by 2025.  They seek to lower the rates of stunted growth under age 5, to reduce childhood wasting to less than 5%, and to stop the rise of childhood obesity (source).  A healthier nutritional supplement such as ELSE may be just the product needed to help achieve these goals.
