• GMGI CEO says new P2P Esports offering coming “quite soon”
• Gaming operators have need for new products to grow market share
• New product overcomes challenges related to compliance in Esports gambling

If you’re paying attention to the sports betting market, you’re seeing companies big and small looking for edges to capture market share from competition in a fierce, albeit huge, marketplace. It’s tough to carve out profits when, in the words of Brian Goodman, CEO of Golden Matrix Group (NASDAQ: GMGI), “everyone [is] fishing in the same pond.” Companies must be differentiated, as is Golden Matrix, a provider of turnkey and white label gaming platforms, Esports technology, and gaming content that has notched 15 straight profitable quarters. As more and more U.S. states legalize online gambling, there is room for vertical growth for sportsbooks, daily fantasy sports (“DFS”), and casinos. However, operators need to continue to follow trends to get into the pockets of new players. Many of these players win and retention opportunities are centered on non-professional betters, women, and younger players that don’t seem to want to follow conventional betting modalities. That is leading to a race to establish a footprint in Esports gambling and peer-to-peer betting, amongst other things. These are some of the immediate blue-sky chances to juice revenue streams or get fledgling companies off the ground. Golden Matrix’s roots are in B2B (business-to-business) gambling, where its technology is used by over 500 casino operators serving 7+ million players. The Las Vegas-based company has recently branched out into B2C (business-to-consumer) offerings through the acquisition of 80% of UK-based skilled competition operator RKingsCompetitions Ltd. Golden Matrix was recently featured in financial media and data company Benzinga’s Esports Listmakers Series where Goodman spoke about the state of the industry and some of the challenges involved with Esports and betting on them. It’s not as simple as being a facilitator of two friends betting who has more kills in any specific Esports game. For one thing, gambling on smaller events in sports known for rapid player turnover mean greater opportunities for collusion. Plus, operators are responsible for ensuring all government regulations are followed regarding money transfer, bettor locations, and, amongst other things, the age of gamblers. In jurisdictions around the world, bettors must be a minimum of 18 years old, and 21 in many cases (or even 25, as in Portugal). This is critical with respect to Esports, where players and fans tend to be from younger demographics. The average competitor in Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch League is about 20 years old. Players aren’t much older in Activision’s Call of Duty League (average age is 22 years). In the Overwatch League, the average retirement age is just 23. Goodman says his company will be releasing a new peer-to-peer Esports betting platform “quite soon.” There have been some delays in launching the product even though it is in a Beta testing stage as we are waiting for our Mexican facing casino to be launched which should happen in the coming weeks. The Esports product allays concerns about following regulatory guidelines in the burgeoning market and is seen as a good fit for its existing user base and way to generate additional revenues in Mexico and in Asia-Pacific, Golden Matrix’s biggest market currently.

• Medical technology innovator Odyssey Health Inc. is using clinical tests to establish the safety of a therapy designed to treat concussion injuries in its earliest moments
• The company is enthused by results from the early-stage testing and is preparing to design a Phase II/III trial that will target efficacy results in volunteer subjects, focusing particularly on members of the military
• Odyssey’s technology combines a synthetic medication with a specially designed application device that helps the medication cross the blood-brain barrier for immediate responsiveness following a mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI”)
• Medication for concussion treatment remains an unmet need and Odyssey is aiming to be a first-mover in the healthcare sector

The National Council on Aging sponsors its Falls Prevention Week timed, not ironically, during the fall of each year, using its national health campaign to combat the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. One message of the council’s awareness campaign is the importance of recognizing that after an old person is helped back up, the fall victim may be able to resume walking, but there is still a significant risk of worsening effects from a concussion-related head injury (https://ibn.fm/rRsst). While the potential harm of concussion injuries in youth sports and among professional athletes is gaining an increasing measure of attention, concussions in elderly fall patients is also a prominent concern, and active military personnel also continue evaluating potential new treatments for concussion injuries sustained on duty. Medical device innovator and biopharmaceutical product developer Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY) is working to address unmet needs in concussion therapy, to help patients beyond the standard of care for pain management, rest, and monitoring. A proprietary device and synthetic medication combination developed by Odyssey Health is being tested for safety related to treating concussion patients in the initial moments after a mild injury, successfully completing all three cohorts in the company’s Phase I Single Ascending Dosing (“SAD”) clinical trial recently and advancing to a Multiple Ascending Dosing (“MAD”) stage in which volunteers will be treated once daily for five straight days. “We have a very unique new chemical entity intended to treat mild traumatic brain injury — the acute phase of a concussion,” CEO Michael Redmond said during an interview with The RedChip Money Report(R) last month. “It’s a small device. It essentially goes and delivers a powderized drug through the upper chambers of the nasal cavity. The drug crosses the blood-brain barrier within five minutes. It spreads out throughout the brain within 30 minutes and reverses the effects of a concussion” (https://ibn.fm/sdVcJ). The SAD and MAD clinical trials work with healthy human volunteers to establish the safety of Odyssey Health’s technology, which previously completed preclinical lab animal testing successfully and is expected to advance to a Phase II/III design that will determine the efficacy of the company’s PRV-002 technology for concussed patients. Phase II trial sites are already being identified and the study’s design is being created, working with military board advisers while company officials report their early efforts to the FDA. “We are actively identifying and assisting with Phase II military trial site setup,” Major General (Ret.) Jim Linder, the former chief of staff for the U.S. Special Operations Command, stated in a July 12 news release about Odyssey’s progress (https://ibn.fm/VLE3Q). “We need a treatment to prevent the long-term consequences of concussion as far too many of our Service Members are retiring with TBI disorders that lessen their quality of life.” A significant target of the therapy involves getting the drug across the blood-brain barrier to directly deal with the central nervous system consequences of a head injury. “I am especially excited to see the overall low levels of PRV-002 in the blood supporting the hypothesis that more drug is getting to the brain itself when administered with the intranasal device”, Safety Review Committee member Dallas Hack, MD, stated after analyzing the SAD trial. “If this turns out to be the case, not only can the targeted effects of the drug be more efficacious, the drug will likely have less potential side effects.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.OdysseyHealthInc.com.

• MULN shares traded higher after Benzinga stated that the emerging EV manufacturer had reported higher-than-expected battery test results
• Data shows the company’s proprietary solid-state polymer batteries can deliver more than 600 miles of range on a full charge
• The company plans to include the new batteries in its second-generation Mullen FIVE EV Crossover

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ: MULN) was featured in a recent Benzinga Brief. The short summary noted that the company, an emerging electric-vehicle manufacturer, had reported results of its solid-state polymer battery testing, which exceeded expectations (https://ibn.fm/XI6Fa). Noting that shares were trading higher after the news, Benzinga quoted David Michery, Mullen CEO and chair, as saying, “The battery has performed exceptionally well, and I’m pleased with the results from BIC [Battery Innovation Center] in Indiana.” “Testing results from BIC show the solid-state polymer cell, rated at 300 Ah and 3.7 volts, tested at 343.28 Ah at 4.2 volts, exceeding expectation, and is in line with test tolerance from previous EV Grid test results,” the brief continues. “The data supports solid-state polymer battery cell technology [that], when scaled to the vehicle pack level and at a 150-kilowatt hour equivalent, can deliver over 600 miles of range on a full charge for the Mullen FIVE EV Crossover.” While the company plans to continue to test additional parameters to characterize overall capabilities and performance, these positive results bode well for the Southern California–based company, which owns and partners with synergistic businesses that share the same goal: to create clean, scalable electric vehicles and energy solutions (https://ibn.fm/D8vYz). The company announced plans to include the new solid-state polymer batteries in its second-generation Mullen FIVE EV Crossover (https://ibn.fm/Br0nl). In addition to offering more than 600 miles of range, the batteries can deliver 300 miles of range after an 18-minute DC fast charge. “We’ve conducted successful testing and will begin pack-level development next,” said Michery, who called the future bright for the nascent EV company. Key to the company’s success are several partnerships the company has built recently, including with hofer powertrain, Comau, ARRK, Dürr and DSA Systems. These partners will help Mullen produce improved EV powertrain, engineering, manufacturing, vehicle production systems, and over-the-air (“OTA”) and vehicle system diagnostics. “[Mullen] expects these strategic developments to play a crucial role in bringing the FIVE to market with the latest technology and in the shortest amount of time,” the company stated. The Mullen FIVE RS is a high-performance EV featuring close to 1,100 horsepower, 0 to 60 mph in only 1.95 seconds, and a top speed of almost 200 miles per hour (https://ibn.fm/KaCIj). The vehicle was awarded Top Zero Emission SUV as part of the ZEVA Awards at the Los Angeles International Auto Show in November 2021, where it debuted.

• Fossil fuels still account for about 80% of primary energy worldwide. They are responsible, on a per capita basis, for 63,130kWh of energy in the United States, with renewables onlyaccounting for 8,266 kWh
• The United States, prior to the recent ban, had 8% of its total petroleum imports (including crude oil) coming from Russia, a reliance that has now resulted in significant increases in gasoline and diesel prices
• Correlate, through its distributed clean energy solutions, is addressing these issues, helping to bring society closer to significantly less dependence on the national grid and more on green energy sources
• The company is capitalizing on the momentum of growing wind, solar, and even geothermal power production, to grow its market share, strengthen its brand equity, and diversify its product offering
• By providing energy programs for commercial property portfolios that require no upfront capital on the part of the customer, Correlate continues to build its appeal to potential clients, laying down a template that can be easily replicated and implemented in various sectors

Energy security and affordability have become increasingly critical factors for nations around the world. The Russia-Ukraine issue has pointed out how overreliance on specific energy supplies can be detrimental to national economies, and how bad the situation could get if geopolitical and other problems were to accelerate. Fossil fuels still account for about 80% of primary energy worldwide. The main source is oil, followed by coal, and it is further projected that this will continue to be the case for a long time. The United States, for instance, uses 63,130kWh of energy, per capita, from fossil fuels, with renewables only accounting for 8,266 kWh. Similar disparities are found in other countries, including, but not limited to, Canada, China, Japan, Australia, and the UK (https://ibn.fm/XxMAZ). This overreliance on fossil fuels presents international supply chain risks and challenges, affected by unexpected changes in linkages between energy markets. The U.S., prior to the recently imposed ban, had 8% of its total petroleum imports (including crude oil) coming from Russia. With the ongoing issue in Ukraine, this reliance and associated ban has caused issues with supply, ultimately resulting in a significant jump in gasoline and diesel prices (https://ibn.fm/cjiVv). Many other countries, of course, face the challenge of considerably more dependence. Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI), a company offering a complete suite of proprietary clean energy assessment solutions for the commercial real estate industry, is committed to bringing society closer to less dependence on the national grid and, by extension, fossil fuels, to focus demand more on green energy sources. With its distributed clean energy solutions, the company believes that it can help mitigate the effects of climate change while at the same time ensuring that businesses, both big and small, have access to clean and reliable energy. A report published by Frontier Group and Environment America Research and Policy Center, noted that between 2011 and 2020, the proportion of electricity generated from wind and solar in the U.S. increased by about four times. More specifically, the study noted that wind, solar, and geothermal power production grew yearly by 15%, which by 2035 could meet the country’s electricity demand (https://ibn.fm/JgD9Y). Correlate looks to make the most out of growing consumer realization of the overreliance on fossil fuels, to build its customer numbers given its unique product offering, and to thus grow its market share, strengthen its brand equity, diversify its product offerings, and create value for its shareholders. So far, Correlate and its subsidiary, Solar Site Design, have an opportunity pipeline of over $100 million in commercial products, with over $20 million in awarded backlog. With more corporations realizing the benefits associated with alternative energy sources, specifically solar power, Correlate is confident that its opportunity pipeline will continue to grow, as will its customer base. By providing energy programs for commercial property portfolios requiring no upfront capital, Correlate is appealing to more potential clients while continually reducing the barrier of entry, encouraging a much-needed energy transition. The company understands its clients’ hurdles and seeks to address them to reduce demand dependence on fossil fuels and to increase the uptake of greener, more sustainable energy alternatives.

• The rice production industry is under an imminent threat due to increased demand and reduced crop yields
• With Thailand, the Philippines, and China all facing problems in rice production, a lot rides on the success of India’s rice crops, despite the uncertainty of monsoon and harvest season
• FuelPositive Corp. is currently developing proprietary green ammonia technology driving for on-site fertilizer production and zero carbon emissions

The rice production industry faces multiple imminent threats worldwide, including rising fertilizer costs, climate change, and increased demand when crop yields seem to be declining. These threats pose a potential risk to food security and the efforts being made to contain inflation. Countries such as Thailand, China, India, and the Philippines, are already dealing with mounting concerns, due to the lower crop yields, climate change, invasion of pests, and the rising cost of crop nutrients. Most of the world’s rice is grown, eaten, and exported from Asia, making political stability in the region crucial to production efforts (https://ibn.fm/vQaoa). With the current status of the contributing countries, much is riding on India’s rice crop, which ships approximately 40% of the world’s exports in rice. Although India has limited wheat crops, the rice exports are helping ease the reduction in supply within the region. Should the wheat harvest be limited more due to the monsoon rains necessary for harvest season, it is possible that rice will be needed to supplement for food and livestock feed. According to Vice President and researcher V. Subramanian of The Rice Trader, “Global supply is at risk, but for now, we still have massive Indian availability that is reining in prices. Looking at the current situation, India is acting as an anchor for prices with its large exports.” The high prices for fertilizer and the inherent presence of climate change are driving factors for FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) message that fossil fuels don’t only damage the climate, but make the world economically vulnerable. FuelPositive is a growth-stage company focused on partnership and acquisition opportunities for energy efficiency and sustainability technologies. The company’s emphasis on economic vulnerability and climate change can be supported through the AR6 Synthesis Report (https://ibn.fm/tSc8e). Carbon emissions are the leading cause of climate change and global warming issues worldwide. The company’s Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer technology provides the means necessary to store green hydrogen as green ammonia that is completely carbon-free. The hydrogen can be removed when needed for use in fuel cells and other applications based on pure hydrogen technologies. In the same way that ammonia is the perfect carrier for hydrogen, it is also the perfect carrier for nitrogen – the key component in fertilizers. FuelPositive has developed a containerized green ammonia production system relying on renewable electricity to synthesize hydrogen from water and nitrogen from the air before combining the two elements in a proprietary converter to form ammonia. The technology will allow farmers to economically produce the amount of ammonia needed to fertilize their crops on-site. In doing so it eliminates supply chain dependence, and stabilizes price while eliminating carbon emissions. The system can be scaled up or down, so farmers can produce the amount of fertilizer they need right on their farms and apply it when the timing is best. The first demonstration systems are being built to produce up to 300 kg/day, which amounts to 100 metric tonnes per year. FuelPositive expects to begin on-farm demonstration of its proprietary green ammonia production systems in fall 2022. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FuelPositive.com.

• Lexaria Bioscience Corp. expects the upcoming human nicotine study to produce evidence that its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology can enhance oral-tissue absorption with reduced negative experiences
• Data collected from animal study NIC-A21-1 showed that DehydraTECH enhanced oral nicotine pouches delivered peak nicotine levels in the bloodstream of animals 10x to 20x faster than the control
• The global nicotine pouches market was valued at $2.33 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $21.84 billion by 2027, being one of the fastest growing segments in the nicotine industry
• Lexaria’s pipeline addresses serious unmet patient or consumer needs with greater market potential, addressing multiple mainstream applications in cannabinoids, oral nicotine, antiviral therapies, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and other APIs

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, recently announced the pending start of an upcoming human nicotine study, NIC-H22-1. The company expects to evidence that processing purified nicotine with its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology leads to enhanced oral-tissue absorption and reduced negative experiences. NIC-H22-1 is a minimum 36-person human pharmacokinetic randomized, double-blind, cross-over study comparing DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch performance to existing brands currently on the market, including ON! and Zyn (https://ibn.fm/aFVPk). The study’s primary objective is the objective data collection from blood samples that will evidence Tmax, Cmax, and AUC. Other study objectives include extensive subjective evaluations related to complaints of throat burn, user experience, and more. The nicotine test article ingredient manufacturing and DehydraTECH processing have been completed, and the materials have been received by the third-party pouch manufacturing company for filling and packaging. This study’s next two major steps will be Independent Review Board approval and subsequent human dosing. Through a previous animal study NIC-A21-1, the company has already demonstrated that oral nicotine pouches using DehydraTECH technology were 10x to 20x faster at reaching peak delivery of nicotine to the bloodstream than the control. Lexaria is leveraging the oral nicotine pouch market, which is one of the fastest growing segments in the nicotine industry due in part to the US Food and Drug Administration’s note of “reduced risk health outcomes” (https://ibn.fm/SmOJi). The delivery method, specifically the white pouch format, avoids harmful lung outcomes experienced by smokers and vapers, only involving absorption primarily through the mouth’s buccal tissues through purified nicotine. In 2020, the global nicotine pouches market was valued at $2.33 billion and is expected to reach $21.84 billion by the end of 2027, growing at a CAGR of 30.7% during the forecast period. (https://ibn.fm/a8Wc0). On March 8, 2022, Lexaria announced that it had been granted a new patent, “Compositions Infused with Nicotine Compounds and Methods of Use Thereof.” The Australian patent expands Lexaria’s international intellectual property rights to apply DehydraTECH enhancement technology to most oral forms of nicotine, including pills, lozenges, capsules, pouches, gums, and sprays. Lexaria currently has 25 patents granted worldwide plus a 26th patent allowed in Japan. As detailed in Lexaria’s July 2022 Corporate Presentation, DehydraTECH is faster and more effective at delivering drugs into the bloodstream and brain tissues by increasing bioavailability, improving the speed of onset, reducing drug administrative costs, and masking the unwanted taste (https://ibn.fm/QptMW). The technology’s pipeline addresses serious unmet patient needs with greater market potential, addressing multiple mainstream applications in cannabinoids, oral nicotine, antiviral therapies, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and other APIs. The current pipeline includes five studies currently in various stages, including animal PK/PD proof of concept for CBD for epilepsy and PDE5 inhibitors, human PK/PD proof of concept for oral nicotine (NIC-H22-1), and one study currently in the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) enabling study status, DehydraTECH-CBD for hypertension.

• As awareness of the long-term hazards of concussive head injuries for young athletes has increased during the past decade, advocates and business enterprises have stepped up to improve coach responsiveness to players’ condition
• While efforts primarily focus on assessing injury, Odyssey Health Inc. is developing a product it hopes to become the first drug device with FDA approval for treating a concussed patient after injury
• Odyssey is enrolling patients in a Phase 1 human clinical trial after completing pre-clinical studies in laboratory animals
• The medical research company’s assets include treatments for patients who may have undiagnosed heart disease, patients choking on some type of obstruction lodged in their throats and patients dealing with a rare neurodegenerative disorder

Sports-related concussions have gained a growing degree of attention during the past decade, thanks largely to the activism of a junior high school football player severely injured during a game who continued to play despite a hard impact to the head he had experienced (https://ibn.fm/bb79K). His story led to what has become known as the Lystedt Law, a series of head safety standards for youth athletes pioneered in Washington state and eventually adopted by all 50 states. Among professional athletes, concerns have been raised by players such as former Team U.S.A. soccer forward Bruce Murray’s, whose efforts to raise concussion awareness stem from head injuries he believes have left him with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (“CTE”), an incurable condition characterized by trouble with memory, problems organizing and planning simple activities, and changes in behavior, such as lack of motivation or having a short temper, but only truly diagnosable in deceased patients (https://ibn.fm/aAPGU). Former Denver Broncos football player Demaryius Thomas was one such athlete diagnosed with CTE after his death (https://ibn.fm/P9ziU). Head impact injuries can affect athletes in a wide variety of sports, and numerous enterprises have manufactured devices designed to help measure injury among them. Head Impact Trauma Ltd. founder Euan Bowen, for example, was inspired by his rugby experience to create a headband and sensor system that measures cranial G-force but his product has been adopted by downhill mountain bike racers as well (https://ibn.fm/M9X6t). And a group of engineering students at Old Dominion University created an award-winning accelerometer designed to be affordable even for small schools interested in assessing head impacts in young players (https://ibn.fm/LHuAz). Medical device innovator and biopharmaceutical product developer Odyssey Health (OTC: ODYY) is focusing on the concussion injury issue from the vantage point of treating individuals after they’ve been hurt. There is no medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) at this point for treating specific concussion injuries, but Odyssey is preparing for human trials of a product it believes may fill that gap. “We provide a clinical advantage in the marketplace,” CEO Michael Redmond told The RedChip Money Report(R) on Bloomberg TV last month. “We have a very unique new chemical entity intended to treat mild traumatic brain injury — the acute phase of a concussion. It’s a small device. It essentially goes and delivers a powderized drug through the upper chambers of the nasal cavity. The drug crosses the blood-brain barrier within five minutes. It spreads out throughout the brain within 30 minutes and reverses the effects of a concussion” (https://ibn.fm/sZXWV). The Phase 1 clinical trial is enrolling 48 patients and will follow completed preclinical lab animal testing. Odyssey also is developing a prototype device for diagnosing heart disease and another for saving people choking on an obstruction that it hopes to have before the FDA for approval by year’s end.

With Blockchain Futurist Conference and ETHToronto being the anchor events of the week, already bringing in thousands of tech enthusiasts from around the globe, it is an ideal time to host Canada Crypto Week. August is an especially great month for Canada, with mild temperatures and less interference with events in other countries. Together, these events represent great networking and business opportunities, hosted by Untraceable Events, a global company organizing blockchain and cryptocurrency events in Canada since 2013. Such networking symposiums are hugely important, and need to be encouraged and supported throughout Canada, with more dates and topics being the best way to expand the ecosystem. In the case of crypto, it’s the best way to get to know the space and learn about projects, with smaller events often able to narrow in on more specific topics of interest, such as deFi, the Metaverse or NFTs. Canada Crypto Week is a phenomenal platform to encourage and inspire the cryptocurrency trade and vendors in Canada, showcasing the growing cryptocurrency community on a global forum. Canada Crypto Week invites vendors, businesses, and enthusiasts of the cryptocurrency arena to participate in and boost crypto trade. Events currently registered for Canada Crypto Week include:
