  • Announced its first sale of its Rx Princepsâ„¢ inhalation device
  • Sale of this inhalation device is the first step towards the sale of Rx Princepsâ„¢. 

OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(Nov. 9, 2017) – Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“Tetra” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF), a global leader in cannabinoid-based drug development and discovery, today announced its first sale of its Rx Princepsâ„¢ inhalation device. The sale of this inhalation device is the first step towards the sale of Rx Princepsâ„¢.

“I am happy to announce the first batch order of our medical cannabis inhalation devices. This is the first step in generating a steady revenue stream and it is the beginning of a new phase in our development. Sales of Rx Princeps â„¢ inhalation device will be an additional revenue stream for Tetra. Our inhalation device is a unique, high quality, CSA-approved customized titanium pipe, designed by our partner, Ford Pharmacy. With this launch Tetra is providing a high quality, standardized treatment with clinical data to patients in need.” As Rx Princepsâ„¢ (dried cannabis) will soon be launched under ACMPR through Aphria, and we are expecting to generate around $1.5 millions in sales, in fiscal 2018. Through our promotion and education efforts in Quebec, New Brunswick and part of Ontario, we estimate that over eight thousand patients will start using Rx Princepsâ„¢ under prescription from their doctors over in the next twelve months.” states Bernard Fortier, CEO of Tetra.

Mr Fortier highlights that “It is important to consider that only 4 % of physicians today consider prescribing cannabis. A fixed-dose approach, as we are promoting based on our original clinical data, is attractive to doctors because the treatment dose is standardized. We have a huge opportunity in educating doctors on our clinical approach.”

Tetra has received its first sales order from Sante Cannabis. Sante Cannabis is the first cannabinoid clinic and medical marijuana resource centre in Quebec. Healthcare professionals from Sante Cannabis support patients in their medical journey with cannabis.

Rx Princepsâ„¢ allows patients to optimize the benefits of medical cannabis through the intake of a standardized amount of product. The Rx Princepsâ„¢ inhalation device is an essential accessory to ensure consistency of treatment, as well as optimize the potency of the product, while minimizing wastes for the patient.

200,000 patients are already registered under the ACMPR program and around 1.5 million adults in Canada suffer from chronic pain and are considered non-responders to opioids; medical cannabis could be a therapeutic answer for those patients but physicians need bioavailability and safety data to prescribe medical cannabis with confidence. According to Health Canada, less than 3,000 physicians actually prescribe cannabis to their patients. Tetra is committed to provide them this data. Tetra has begun educating pain clinics and the medical profession across Canada on Rx Princepsâ„¢, including its advantages for patients. The Tetra medical team was at the Academic Pain Day hosted by the Ontario Pain Foundation this Wednesday to inform pain physicians about the benefits of Rx Princepsâ„¢. This was also an opportunity to introduce to them Tetra’s phase 1 data on its drug candidate PPP001.

Based on the most recent ACMPR market data from the Government of Canada, it is estimated that the sales of dried medical cannabis in Canada from April 2017 to March 2018 will be over $188M; Tetra is now entering this lucrative market and plans on progressively grabbing a significant share of it over the next two years.

About Rx Princepsâ„¢:

Rx Princepsâ„¢ is a unique blend of 3 strains of medical cannabis. Its production has been standardized in order to ensure a lot-to-lot consistent composition in its active ingredients (THC and CBD). Rx Princepsâ„¢ is composed of the same medical cannabis blend used to produce PPP001, which has demonstrated its safety in the Phase 1 clinical trial of PPP001. Rx Princepsâ„¢ will be available across Canada, through Licensed Producer Aphria Inc., for patients who have a prescription from their physicians.

About Tetra Bio-Pharma:

Tetra Bio-Pharma (TSX VENTURE:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF) is a biopharmaceutical leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery and clinical development. Tetra is focusing on three core business pillars: clinical research, pharmaceutical promotion and retail commercialization of cannabinoid-based products.

#PGM Mineralization Continues to be Encountered in Drilling at the at the River Valley #Platinum Group Metals Project $NAM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:36 AM on Wednesday, November 8th, 2017

New age large

  • Drilling continues to encounter PGM mineralization in the Pine Zone of the River Valley PGM Deposit
  • Borehole PL-17-08 intersects 14m of 2.01.g/t Pd+Pt+Au, including 4m at 2.98 g/t Pd+Pt+Au,
  • Drilling into the footwall to the east of the deposit will add to the resource calculation
  • Footwall PGM mineralization is a new and additional source of PGM mineralization to the resource model
  • Updated NI 43-101 resource calculation to commence upon the announcement of final assays.
  • River Valley is the Largest Undeveloped Primary PGM resource in Canada, with 3.9Moz PdEq in Measured Plus Indicated including an additional 1.2Moz PdEq in Inferred

Vancouver, Canada / November 8, 2017 – New Age Metals Inc. (TSX.V: NAM; OTCQB: PAWEF; FSE: P7J.F) is pleased to announce the third and final batch of drill hole results from the 2017 drilling campaign. Drilling was focused on the T3 Zone and Pine Zone as a follow up of the 2015 and 2016 drilling and IP geophysical work at the River Valley PGM Deposit.

Trevor Richardson, President/COO states “The purpose of the 2017 summer/fall exploration program was to focus on the footwall mineralization. The main River Valley PGM Deposit is a contact-style mineralization and this is where the bulk of the resource has previously been identified. The PGM mineralization found in the footwall is newly discovered mineralization and will add to the overall amount of PGM mineralization. This additional mineralization will be reflected in the new resource calculation/updated 43-101 for the River Valley PGM Deposit”.

Pine Zone Footwall Discovery Continues to Provide Positive Results

Present drilling into the footwall of the Dana North Zone area of the River Valley PGM Deposit has defined continuous PGM mineralization. To date PGM mineralization has been extended approximately 140 m eastward of the present known PGM mineralization. Past resource calculations of the Dana North Zone have been determined to be 24 million tonnes at 1.5 g/t PdEq. The recent footwall drilling will add to the resource calculation. Hole PZ-17-08 (figure 2) that is being reported in this release was drilled approximately 40 m to the east of the contact mineralization. It yielded 14 metres of 2.01 g/t Pd+Pt+Au and included 4 metres of 2.09 Pd+Pt+Au.

Review of the present drilling and past work is ongoing and will be used to generate a program of additional drilling for the T3 and Pine Zone in 2018. The new exploration model of footwall mineralization has yet to be tested further south of T3, between T3 and T9 (figure 1), and these targets equate to a small portion of the overall 16km of strike length of the main zone. These areas of potential PGM mineralization will be the focus of ongoing and future exploration of the deposit area.

Pine Zone

The Pine Zone was the first of numerous newly discovered PGM zones within the district-scale River Valley PGM Project. The Pine Zone is located east of the main River Valley Deposit in an area previously not known for mineralization. The 2016 drill program (figure 2) confirmed the higher-grade, near-surface PGM discovery made in the 2015 drill program (figure 2) and highlighted the continuity of the PGM mineralization into the footwall. The Pine Zone remains open along strike and at depth.

Figure 1: Drill Hole Distribution Map

Drill results (Table 1) have confirmed continued PGM mineralization in the Pine Zone (footwall) of the main River Valley PGM Deposit. The area from the Pine Zone to T3 equates to approximately ~1000mofstrike length of new mineralization.

A total of 15 holes were drilled as part of this drill campaign for a total of 4085m (13,402ft) of drilling. Further re-interpretation of the geology, geophysics, structure and PGM mineralization on the project are ongoing with the company’s geological and geophysical consultants. Drill widths are considered not true width due to the exploratory nature of the drill campaign.

Assay Procedures and QAQC

The drilling was undertaken by Jacob & Samuel Drilling Ltd. of Sudbury, Ontario under the supervision of a NAM geologist. The drill core samples were sent to the SGS Canada Inc. Laboratory in Lakefield, Ontario for sample preparation and assay analyses. The preparation involved crushing of 3kg of each sample to 90% passing 2mm, and then pulverizing 0.5kg to 85% passing 75um. Palladium, Platinum and Gold were assayed by fire assay with ICP-AES finish (GE-FAI313). Copper, Nickel and 32 additional metals were assayed by two acid digestion and ICP-OES finish (GE-ICP14B). Blanks and blind certified standard samples were submitted at regular intervals for assay with the core samples as part of NAM’s quality control program.

Future Activity

WSP Canada (News Release: Sept 7th, 2017) will be conducting the updated resource calculation and model for the River Valley PGM Deposit. This will incorporate the new findings and interpretations. The company plans to initialize a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Report in the future with WSP Canada. In-house recommendations will be compiled to delineate future work upon completion of the 2017 field program with future work on Pine Zone, T3, and new un-explored footwall targets.

Several 43-101 compliant resource estimates have previously been generated for the deposit through the development phases. The River Valley Deposit present resource, with approximately 3.9 PdEq ounces in Measured Plus Indicated mineral resources and near-surface mineralization covers over 16km of continuous strike length.

ABOUT NAM’S PGM DIVISION

NAM’s flagship project is its 100% owned River Valley PGM Project (NAM Website – River Valley Project) in the Sudbury Mining District of Northern Ontario (100 km east of Sudbury, Ontario). Presently the River Valley Project is Canada’s largest primary undeveloped PGM deposit with Measured + Indicated resources of 91 million tonnes @ 0.58 g/t Palladium, 0.22 g/t Platinum, 0.04 g/t Gold, at a cut-off grade of 0.8 g/t PdEq for 2,463,000 ounces PGM plus Gold. This equates to 3,942,910 PdEq ounces. The River Valley PGM-Copper-Nickel Sulphide mineralized zones remains open to expansion. The company has recently completed a drill program on the Pine and T3 Zones.

In 2016, the Company acquired the River Valley extension property from Mustang Minerals which added approximately 4 kilometres to the project’s mineralized strike length to the southern portion of the intrusion.

ABOUT NAM’S LITHIUM DIVISION

The Company has five pegmatite hosted Lithium Projects in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field, located in SE Manitoba. Three of the projects are drill ready. This Pegmatite Field hosts the world class Tanco Pegmatite that has been mined for Tantalum, Cesium and Spodumene (one of the primary Lithium ore minerals) in varying capacities, since 1969. NAM’s Lithium Projects are strategically situated in this prolific Pegmatite Field. Presently, NAM is the largest mineral claim holder in the Winnipeg River Pegmatite Field and is seeking JV partners to further develop the company’s Li division.

Namaste $N.ca Announces October 2017 Sales of $1.3M and Provides Corporate Update $ATT.ca $ABCN.ca $ACG.ca $ACB

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:00 AM on Wednesday, November 8th, 2017

Nlogo

  • October 2017 sales as reported by the Company were C$1,313,653
  • Representing a 1% month-on-month increase and a 174% year-on-year increase in comparison with September 2017 and October 2016, respectively

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 08, 2017 — Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (CSE:N) (FRANKFURT:M5BQ) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) is pleased to announce October 2017 unaudited sales as reported by the Company (including shipping revenues after discounts and refunds) were C$1,313,653 representing a 1% month-on-month increase and a 174% year-on-year increase in comparison with September 2017 and October 2016, respectively. The Company is also pleased to announce that it has submitted an amendment to its application with Health Canada for its wholly owned subsidiary Cannmart Inc. (“CannMart”) to include the sale of medical cannabis oils.

The table below displays a breakdown of Namaste’s revenue by sales channel.

While Namaste continues to see strong revenue leading in to the holiday season, the Company has also made substantial progress with CannMart, having now submitted an amendment on its application to include a license for the sale of cannabis oils under the Canadian Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (“ACMPR”) program. Construction of the CannMart facility will commence in late November, 2017 and the Company estimates a 6-8 week turnaround time for completion.

Namaste’s Canadian business represents approximately 5.5% of the Company’s total revenue and includes a consumer database of over 11,000 people with an average of 30,000 site visits per month. Namaste plans to leverage its data through CannMart to become Canada’s premiere online retailer for medical cannabis. The Company intends to pursue similar opportunities in other territories in which the Company maintains a large market share of cannabis users. Further to the Company’s joint press release dated November 7, 2017, Namaste has seen positive results in terms of vaporizer sales in a medical cannabis platform. These results further validate the Company’s intention of creating and leveraging a globally diversified database of cannabis users.

Management Commentary
Sean Dollinger, President and CEO of Namaste, comments: “We are very pleased not only to announce strong sales figures for October 2017, but also to provide these important updates on CannMart. The amended application to include the sale of cannabis oils is a crucial part of our plan to become Canada’s leading online retailer for medical cannabis products. As Namaste is already the largest global retailer of vaporizers products and accessories, we truly understand the need for patients to have access to a variety of consumption devices for dried flower as well as oils and we believe that medical patients should be offered a larger variety of product sourced from multiple licensed producers. We are very much looking forward to receiving our distribution license and have high expectations for this as a new revenue vertical for the Company.”

About Namaste Technologies Inc.
Namaste is the largest online retailer for medical cannabis delivery systems globally.

#Cryptocurrency Companies See Dramatic Spikes in Share Price #ThreeD $IDK.ca #Blockstation

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:39 PM on Tuesday, November 7th, 2017
  • Numerous companies involved in the cryptocurrency industries have seen dramatic increases in share price following the spectacular performances of bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies during 2017
  • Bitcoin Group’s Has Seen Its Share Price Increase by Approximately 1060% Since January This Year

Bitcoin Group was founded in 2014 and began as a mining company, however, expanded its operations after rebranding to Blockchain Global Limited in 2016. In addition to mining, the company now provides consulting and startup incubation services to companies in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors.

In July, Blockchain Global made a $4.35 million AUD investment into blockchain firm Digital X, including a payment of $300,000 AUD worth of bitcoin. The remaining $4.05 million AUD comprised $550,00 AUD in convertible notes and $3.8 million AUD in shares – seeing Blockchain Global own a 40 percent stake in the company. After the announcement, Digital X’s price moved by 74% at the close of trading. In 2014, DigitalX became Australia’s first listed bitcoin company following the reverse takeover of Macro Energy, however, in 2016, the original founder of Macro Energy was indicted for fraud, resulting in a significant loss in share price at the time.

Many Companies Involved in the Cryptocurrency Industries Have Seen Recent Booms in Share Price

Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd, a Canadian company that mines Ethereum, has seen year to date gains of 4089% as of this writing. At the end of October, Hive announced a “strategic partnership” with Genesis Mining Ltd., through which Hive “will finance the construction of… mining rigs… at [a] data centre in Sweden.” The deal was expected to double “the company’s cryptocurrency mining capacity… in Sweden.” When completed, will see “approximately 78%” of “Hive’s hashpower capacity is expected to be based… in Sweden,” with the remaining 22% being located in Iceland.

In late October, an Essex-based company saw a 394% spike in its share price after announcing that it would change its name from On-line Plc to Blockchain Plc. The jump in price comprised the “biggest one-day gain for the small-cap company since its December 1996 listing,” and was fuelled by “trading volume that… [was] equal to more than 16 times the entire year’s trading before the last two days.” The dramatic rally appeared to be driven by little more than hype associated with the word ‘blockchain’, as the company “caution[ed] investors that the development of its blockchain product is still at an early stage.”

How #Cryptocurrencies And #Blockchain Are Taking #Esports $GMBL To The Next Level #Blockstation #ThreeD $IDK.ca

Revenue from eSports — or competitive video gaming – will grow to $700m in 2017, a 41.3% increase from 2016 , according to Newzoo research. The industry is forecast to reach $1.5 billion by 2020. Major investors, high-profile celebrities, big-brand sponsors and major tech companies are banking on eSports’ profitable trajectory.

DreamTeam

Study shows the Esports market has tremendous untapped potential

Blockchain-powered solutions are the latest trend to shake up transactions and data for the entire sector. To gamers, blockchains and digital currencies are nothing new, and this attitude enables the industry to adopt new technologies faster than other industries like banking or logistics. Part of that has to do with age. According to Newzoo‘s 2017 Global Esports Market Report, electronic gaming entertains a young and marketable demographic: Millennials. More than half of eSports enthusiasts globally are aged between 21 and 35, and they are often early adopters of technology, including blockchain.

 

Blockchain applications across eSports

Startups are leveraging the benefits of blockchain to deploy smart contracts, fuel betting, host tournaments, and ease the purchase virtual assets, all of which help grow the eSports ecosystem. Much has been written about blockchain startups tackling eSports betting and the purchasing or trading of skins (cosmetic items), but another important application is how this technology can help amateur gamers on their pathway to going pro though both tournament and team building platforms.

Tournaments are a way of life for avid eSports gamers and online gaming platforms that have embraced blockchain are seeing the pay-off. FirstBlood, an eSports platform created on the Ethereum blockchain, decentralizes tournament setup and winnings distribution. It allows players to test their skills and to bet on games without being dependent on traditional money transfers, financial regulations and middleman corruption. With FirstBlood, players can game solo or with a team in order to improve their skill through games in a competitive environment. Other blockchain companies including Gilgam.es and EloPlay have entered the tournament space as well.

From amateur gamers to going pro 

While fostering a tournament environment can help players sharpen their skills, we believe there is an opportunity to take this one step further, by lessening the barrier of entry when it comes to building and managing teams.

DreamTeam

Majority of top competitive game titles are team-based

There are 1.4 billion registered gamers, and most of those players are concentrated around the most competitive eSports titles that include LoL, CS:GO, Dota2 and Overwatch.  One of the most loved esports titles, League of Legends, has 250 million players players who want to build, grow and manage their teams, but there are only 100 League of Legends clubs worldwide. Let’s compare that to football, a traditional sport, with more than 300 million players globally, with around 300,000 clubs. This discrepancy of players to clubs was the catalyst for our company, DreamTeam, to develop a dynamic platform to solve this problem.

Building teams to advance 

DreamTeam takes blockchain-powered tournaments one step further by creating a recruitment and management platform for amateur, novice, and pro teams. Blockchain-based smart contracts ensure contractual financial relations for all users without participation of third parties. One function of DreamTeam is to aid the development of small tournaments and secure payments. On the DreamTeam platform, when a team that participates in a tournament gets a winning place, the prize money automatically transfers to their account according to predefined rules (the data is taken from game API’s — application program interface and oracles, or a service that verifies the data independently). All players receive their share of the prize money without issues or delay. This is just one aspect; we envision the platform developing into a multi-billion dollar ecosystem built upon media right sales, sponsorships, players salaries, and prize money.

Blockchain has the potential to revolutionize a wide variety of industries, but with eSports’ audience made up of younger, tech savvy individuals, blockchain is more easily embraced. Every corner of eSports is ripe for rethinking. Aiding amateur gamers through team building and tournaments is only the beginning.
