• PlantX Life is the digital face of the plant-based community that offers over 5,000 products through its ever-expanding marketplace
• The company is also committed to educating and empowering people interested in the plant-based lifestyle

• Through its YouTube channel, the company uploads recipe videos as well as informative videos in which health coaches share tips to help viewers adopt/lead a plant-based lifestyle

A plant-based diet is more sustainable. At the same time, it offers numerous health benefits to virtually all age groups. For adolescents, in particular, research suggests that they can obtain health benefits such as improved cardiovascular health and enhanced weight control by simply embracing a plant-based diet. However, the independence that comes with being adolescents means that this group makes fewer healthy food choices. Before the publication of a 2021 peer-reviewed journal article, titled “Adolescent’s Willingness to Adopt a More Plant-Based Diet: A Theory-Based Interview Study,” it was previously unclear what factors promote or hinder adolescents’ intention to take up plant-based dietary habits. Nonetheless, the investigation now offers insight into these motivations as captured in the study’s findings and conclusion (https://ibn.fm/oEEdD). Firstly, participants noted that they lacked the skills to prepare plant-based meals despite expressing confidence in being able to consume such a diet for a definite period. Secondly, their unwillingness stemmed from the perception that plant-based food options had poor taste. Therefore, the study concluded that education on the plant-based diet with the aim of increasing awareness of the benefits and equipping individuals with skills to procure or prepare plant-based meals could increase plant-based food familiarity and knowledge. Though the study focused on adolescents, the conclusion is being implemented far and wide. For instance, colleges and universities are introducing official certification programs in plant-based nutrition, including even Ph.D. level coursework (https://ibn.fm/z057m). As the digital face of the plant-based community, PlantX Life (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) has not been left behind. Through YouTube videos, a weekly podcast, blog articles, and other educational resources, PlantX is playing a vital role in increasing knowledge of plant-based lifestyle, products, recipes, and more, thus eliminating the barriers of entry, some of which the 2021 study identified. The company’s YouTube Channel, for instance, contains recipe videos showing the preparation diverse plant-based foods from different parts of the world. So far, PlantX has showcased Bolognese, Mexican, and Thai dishes that are both easy to prepare, thanks to detailed and clear cooking instructions, and tasty. The channel also contains videos wherein health coaches and nutritionists offer tips and guidance to help viewers adopt and lead a plant-based lifestyle. In addition, PlantX regularly updates its website with new blogs and articles about living a simple plant-based life. Through these resources, the company avails education materials that not only teach readers the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle but also offer tips intended to guide people following this way of life. Notably, these resources demonstrate PlantX’s commitment to educate and empower people following a plant-based or flexitarian lifestyle, as well as those interested in these dietary habits. PlantX believes that learning the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle is only the beginning, further holding that such a lifestyle extends beyond just a diet. “It’s a way to connect to nature, to each other, and work toward a cruelty-free future for everyone on the planet,” reads the company’s website. In concert with the education resources available on its website and YouTube channel, PlantX also offers over 5,000 plant-based products through an ever-expanding marketplace for all things wellness and health.

With financial services such as mobile wallets, payment processing and access to specialist lenders, insurers, and pension products, Tingo Pay helps African farmers with financial inclusion. The platform processes more than 500,000 transactions daily with a value of over $8 million per day (https://ibn.fm/veq7t). Still, Tingo is not stopping there. The company is forging ahead with ambitious plans as it is positioning the platform to broaden the market reach by making Tingo Pay available to the general public. The company also intends to roll out a blockchain-based solution to enable frictionless trade across borders in Africa. With the goal to become a truly Pan-African company with a global reach, Tingo strives to build a company that can potentially make a difference for the continent by providing a complete digital ecosystem for agribusiness, a critical component of Africa’s economy.

• Avricore has been focused on the development of a network of POC analyzers running on its HealthTab software platform in community pharmacy
• So far, its platform can check up to 27 health markers, screen diabetes, and test Covid-19
• With multiple revenue streams, a key selling point for Avricore remains its commitment to patient health and convenience
• Through its innovations and forging the right partnerships, Avricore is getting closer to consumers and presenting even more possibilities for its HealthTab platform

At the start of 2021, Avricore Health (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF) set out to achieve four main milestones- the Abbott agreement, the Shoppers agreement, the HeathTab(TM) Pilot, and the HealthTab Rollout. As of May 31, 2021, the company had already signed a deal with Abbott to expand the distribution of its Afnion 2 analyzer in pharmacies, while on June 3, Shoppers signed an agreement to stock HealthTab for diabetes screening in 11 different locations, bringing its services closer to patients (https://ibn.fm/vFITf). Since its inception, Avricore has been driven by the development of a network of point-of-care (“POC”) analyzers that run on the company’s HealthTab software in community pharmacies, workplaces, and rural areas (https://ibn.fm/TrrRA). The company has recognized an opportunity and capitalizes on established consumer trends, technology advancements, health policy, and industry changes, to solve a business headache while also meeting a significant market opportunity. All this is built on the company’s HealthTab platform. As it works towards the HealthTab rollout, Avricore is implementing its decisions from a point of information and knowing its platform’s potential. So far, HealthTab can check up to 27 health markers, screen diabetes, and conduct rapid Covid-19 testing. It also offers convenience, with analyses taking less than 10 minutes. Most importantly, it is a platform that prioritizes safety and confidentiality, given that the consumer is in control of their data, ultimately choosing whom they can share it with (https://ibn.fm/FTSN1). Avricore has several revenue streams, including equipment leasing, data, consumables, screening tests, and application programming interface (“API”) integration. However, its primary selling point is its commitment to patients, primarily through its HealthTab platform. “What HealthTab does is it creates a space where a patient can take direct agency over their health. They can walk into any pharmacy, they can ask that question, and they can get information that they can act on now,” noted Hector Bremner, the chief executive officer (“CEO”) of Avricore (https://ibn.fm/dBYXP). The milestones achieved with HealthTab so far are significant. More so, they highlight the endless possibilities that the platform has regarding the diagnosis of various chronic diseases, bacteria, and viruses. This is further evidenced by the company’s recent moves and executive decisions. Its expansion of POC medical condition testing to Canada’s west coast and the planned HealthTab rollout are a testament to what the platform is capable of, Avricore’s potential going forward, and the company’s commitment to patients. Avricore is at the forefront in the POC diagnostics space and remains committed to becoming the world’s largest health diagnostics company. With consistent innovation and forging the right partnerships with strategic players in the healthcare sector, Avricore is getting closer to the consumers and presenting even more possibilities with its HealthTab platform.

• Mineral property exploration company StraightUp Resources has pursued greater scale of its acquisitions and holdings in recent months, including properties in Canada, the United States, and Peru
• StraightUp announced recently that it has upgraded its listing in the United States to the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol STUPF to gain access to a larger investor base
• StraightUp continues to be listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol ST as well
• The company’s flagship operations are in Ontario, where it has obtained options in several properties within the prolific Red Lake Mining Division’s greenstone belt

StraightUp Resources (CSE: ST) (OTCQB: STUPF), a company focused on acquiring select mining properties and a global scale of exploring for minerals, is expanding its access to investors by uplisting to the OTCQB Venture Market in the United States under the symbol STUPF. StraightUp has expanded its resources in recent months, bringing its precious metals asset portfolio to a level that includes options for the RLX North, RLX South, Belanger Red Lake, Bear Head and the Ferdinand gold properties in Ontario, Canada’s well-known greenstone belt, acquisition of the West Cat gold and silver mine in Nevada, United States, and the potential acquisition of the Mallay silver mine and processing plant in the Lima region, Peru during the next 60 days through a right of exclusivity agreement (“ROE”) for all outstanding shares in Premier Silver Corp. The OTCQB listing joins StraightUp’s trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol ST. “Upgrading to the OTCQB provides a greater reach in today’s marketplace, one that transcends borders and is truly global,” StraightUp President and CEO Mark Brezer stated (https://ibn.fm/nd0bL). “The new listing gives StraightUp improved access to millions of U.S. investors during our next phase of growth and, ultimately, connects us with a much larger audience. I expect our shareholders to benefit through increases in trading liquidity and expanded retail and institutional investors.” StraightUp’s exploration of its resources in Canada has given it a strong position within a region recognized as one of Canada’s most fruitful gold mining districts. The Red Lake district has a history of producing over 30 million ounces of gold, and the RLX projects are located close to the Red Lake Mine complex that has estimated reserves of 3.23 million ounces as of a 2019 report (https://ibn.fm/zDOOA). Drilling on the Bear Head Gold Project recorded shallow values of 11.09 g/t of gold over 1.79 meters and 3.98 g/t of gold over 2.3 meters, lying 1 kilometer from the Dorothy Main gold deposit that holds non-compliant historical resources of 46,600 ounces of gold at 6.17 g/t and 14 kilometers from the Golden Patricia former gold mine that produced 620,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 15.2 g/t from 1988-1997 (https://ibn.fm/do6NG). The company has completed high-resolution heli-borne magnetic surveys (“MAGs”) on some of the Canadian properties in preparation for drill programs there. The Nevada acquisition includes an unpatented lode mining claim on a 20.66-acre land package within a zone that produced about 2.3 million ounces of gold and more than 3 million ounces of silver during the 1990s. The most recent agreement regarding negotiations for the Peru property would potentially grant StraightUp access to primarily silver projects including one of the largest silver mining land packages in Peru with over $120 million in capitalized expenditures currently in care and maintenance mode, according to a news release about the discussions (https://ibn.fm/u6v3D). Premier plans to provide processing services to other mining operations in the region, which would further increase its revenue potential. “Taking a stake in a country that contains more silver resources than any other country and is ranked second in the world for production gives us a shot at tremendous upside potential, especially if we see a strong decade ahead for metals,” Brezer stated. “We are optimistic our companies can synchronize to mutually benefit one another and shareholders alike.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.StraightUpResources.com.

• In preparation of the Lightning Network platform launch, Maynard Communications will provide a wide range of services such as search engine optimization, media relations consulting, digital media branding campaigns, project management, and multimedia services
• The agreement between LQwD and Maynard allows the company to continue leveraging its position as a public company to enhance trust with its products and services
• LQwD has purchased an additional CAD $4.5 million (USD $3.6 million) worth of Bitcoin, now holding a total of 133 Bitcoins at an individual cost of CAD $59,000 (USD $47,500) each

Financial technology company LQwD FinTech (TSX.V: LQWD) (OTCQB: LQWDF) announced it has entered into an agreement with Maynard Communications Limited for various communications services in anticipation of the launch of its proprietary Lightning Network platform-as-a-service (“PaaS”). Dated November 4, the agreement will be in effect for a period of six months, with the opportunity to renew each month after that. The services that Maynard will provide to LQwD will include but are not limited to search engine optimization, media relations consulting, digital media branding campaigns, project management, and multimedia services (https://ibn.fm/77YYS). Maynard manages a team in Hong Kong and has provided successful marketing for a broad range of companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. “Branding, media relations, and corporate awareness is of utmost importance and a critical component of our business strategy as we prepare to launch our suite of institutional-grade products and payment channels on the rapidly growing Bitcoin Lightning Network,” Shone Anstey, LQwD CEO, commented on the agreement. “We selected Maynard based on their proven success, and they are a perfect fit to help LQwD’s ambitious goals of rapidly becoming one of the most dominant global Lightning Network service providers.” Meanwhile, following the close of LQwD’s previous financing of CAD $8 million (USD $6.4 million) at the end of October 2021, the company has purchased an additional CAD $4.5 million (USD $3.6 million) worth of Bitcoin (https://ibn.fm/xBgpS). To date, the company has spent a total of approximately CAD $7.8 million (USD $6.28) to purchase around 133 Bitcoins. The company now holds these coins at an average cost of CAD $59,000 (USD $47,500) per coin. The purchase of additional coins also signifies the strengthening of the company’s strategic growth initiative to accumulate Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Anstey commented on the additional Bitcoin purchase, stating that it was a major step for the company to progress its short-term business goals to launch its PaaS commercially, then focus on onboarding clients and providing them with strong connectivity to the Lightning Network. “This plays into our long-term objective of having a significant number of Lightning Network payment channels with Bitcoin staked on them (a requirement of the network) that are active across the Lightning Network and allow us to forward and route transactions as a major network participant and earn fees for doing so,” Anstey explained. LQwD’s proprietary Lightning Network PaaS allows payments to be sent instantly, securely, and inexpensively worldwide. The network itself is scalable, global, open, inclusive, permissionless, and decentralized. It works through nodes connected via payment channels that enable instantaneous and cheap payments at scale. The agreement with Maynard will allow LQwD to continue leveraging its position as a public company to enhance trust with its products and services, including the leveraging of its shares as currency for acquisition, roll-up, and growth, allowing for the attraction of top industry talent. Lightning Network is already on the radar of some of the more renowned names in the industry, including Twitter and Square. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.LQwDFinTech.com.

• Michigan lawmakers approve bills designed to restrict medical marijuana cultivation by caregivers
• Marijuana sales in the state are increasing.
• Top priority is concern about the safety of untested medical marijuana grown by caregivers.

With Michigan seeing record sales this year, the state is looking to provide regulation over the growing market in efforts to ensure quality and safety. Recently, Michigan lawmakers approved bills designed to restrict medical marijuana cultivation by caregivers (https://ibn.fm/tmflR). Growth and legislation are key points that cannabis company Hero Technologies (OTC: HENC) is paying close attention to, as the company works to strengthen its presence in the state’s cannabis space. “Michigan marijuana sales broke another record in July,” an article headline recently proclaimed (https://ibn.fm/t7uxL). The article reported that, during July, Michigan exceeded “$171 million in cannabis transactions, according to data from a state regulatory body that was released on Friday. Andrew Brisbo, executive director of Michigan’s Marijuana Regulatory Agency (“MRA”), touted the $128 million in adult-use sales and $43 million in medical cannabis purchases in July, saying, ‘Another record month!’” These record-setting sales are prompting increased legal scrutiny and legislation. Recently several bills that would change the state’s 2008 voter-approved Michigan Medical Marijuana Act and caregiver program moved out of committee and are headed to the House floor. “House Bills 5300–5302, known as the Michigan Cannabis Safety Act, tighten rules for caregivers related to plant allowances, product testing and where they can grow medical marijuana,” the article reports. “The new legislation would create a new specialty medical grower (‘SMG’) license for caregivers that includes a variety of regulations.” Currently, Michigan law requires medical marijuana caregivers to register with the state but doesn’t require a license. “In addition, these caregivers can have up to five patients and grow 12 plants per patient without many rules on testing, labeling or tracking of their products,” the article noted. “Caregivers can cultivate a maximum of 72 plants if they are also a registered medical marijuana patient.” An October hearing regarding the marijuana legislation was packed, showing intense public interest in marijuana legislation. During this hearing, committee chair Roger Hauck stated, “I want to let you know that we recognize it is critical that Michigan’s patients, including those with cancer and other severe or terminal illnesses, are not separated from their caregivers.” He then assured the audience that the committee reviews testimony submitted by constituents. A top priority for lawmakers is concern about the safety of untested medical marijuana grown by caregivers. Likewise, quality and safety are priorities for Hero Technologies, a cannabis company working toward a vertically integrated business model. The company’s strategic business plan includes space for both medical and recreational cannabis cultivation, production licenses, distribution licenses, consumer packaging, and retail and dispensary operations that make the company a multistate operator.
