Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) to Become a Metaverse Company with ARway Acquisition; Integrates HoloX into Microsoft’s HoloLens2; Receives Order for Additional AR Labs

  • Nextech AR signed a definitive agreement to acquire UK-based spatial computing company ARWAY Ltd. in a deal that allows it to become a metaverse company
  • Nextech announced it had begun integrating HoloX into Microsoft’s HoloLens2, with the integration expected to enable users to navigate the application through eye-tracking and hand gestures
  • The company also announced Ryerson University had ordered an additional 35 AR labs for its biology, chemistry, and biochemistry departments
  • Nextech is intent on creating shareholder value by integrating the amazing technologies it has created into a single platform that revolves around the metaverse
Nextech AR Solutions (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF), a company bridging physical and digital worlds through its augmented reality (“AR”) platforms, believes that utilizing live streaming human holograms will result in an explosion of new use cases, as the holograms are destined to play a significant role in global entertainment, commerce, and learning (https://ibn.fm/EQwGH). Given the recent developments at Nextech, this belief is surely becoming a reality. Nextech announced August 10 it had signed a definitive agreement under which it will acquire UK-based spatial computing company ARWAY Ltd. (“ARway”) for approximately $1 million in an all-stock transaction, as well as hire the key founders Baran Korkmaz and Nikhil Sawlani. The acquisition provides Nextech with the technology, in the form of a spatial mapping platform, that allows it to become a metaverse company (https://ibn.fm/ZfcFy). ARway is a Unity-based spatial mapping platform that uses AI to scan and recognize surroundings for hyper-accurate location-based 3D mapping, providing users with an Augmented Reality Software Kit (“SDK”) to frame the digital world in a few minutes. This 3D mapping technology and its AR cloud, combined with Nextech’s scalable solutions for HoloX Human Holograms, AR advertising, AR portals, and AR e-commerce, position NTAR as a leader in the race to the metaverse. In describing the concept of the metaverse during an interview published on the company’s YouTube channel (https://ibn.fm/tIHfM), Nextech CEO Evan Gappelberg likened it to a more experiential AR cloud, further noting that it constitutes persistent augmented reality (“AR”) experiences. “When you think about the top of the mountain in the world of AR, the metaverse is the top of the mountain. There’s really nothing above the metaverse; it is the highest activity or business opportunity that we can actually pursue,” he stated. Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), Epic Games, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and others have all identified the metaverse as the future of the internet and computing itself. However, according to Gappelberg, the metaverse is nothing exciting without the content. This is why the company sees it as an opportunity, leading to the focus on creating mini-metaverses – Nextech aims to populate the metaverse with content such as products and holograms (through HoloX). “We think that the mini-metaverse business use case is here to stay, and the implications for future growth are significant. Nextech’s mini-metaverse offering will be available to brands and companies that want to create mini-multiverses based on a geolocation like museums, corporate headquarters, theme parks, sports stadium, university campuses, and more,” explained Gappelberg. Further, as an integral part of Nextech’s mini-metaverse vision, the HoloX, its mixed reality (“MR”) human hologram solution expected to launch in Q3 2021, recently received a major boost when the company announced August 5 that it had begun integrating HoloX into Microsoft’s HoloLens2. Through this implementation, users will be able to navigate the application through eye-tracking and hand gestures thanks to supported gesture controls across HoloX’s UI and UX (https://ibn.fm/nkl71). “We are starting with Microsoft as they are clearly targeting HoloLens at corporations and the government, places where we already have customer relationships, and we see very specific use cases for our holograms,” said Gappelberg. The HoloLens initiative is being designed to provide a more realistic feeling of human hologram presence, beyond what other in-market solutions are capable of currently. Nextech sees the project as an important building block that sets it up for future success. Nextech also announced it had received from Ryerson University, a globally recognized leader in higher education with over 46,000 students, an order for an additional 35 AR labs for its biology, chemistry, and biochemistry departments. Once these labs are complete, the institution will have one of the largest known AR immersive learning programs globally (https://ibn.fm/4NT8V). “These new labs are in addition to the fifty labs developed for the 2020/2021 school year and the further AR labs produced through the RALE AR Lab Builder Program, a Government of Ontario Initiative in Partnership with Ryerson University and Nextech AR and will be available province-wide to institutions of higher education in 2022,” reads the press release. Nextech is availing AR to education institutions through EdTechX, a Microsoft Azure-based platform that enables education institutions to add valuable, immersive digital experiences to learning. With EdTechX and HoloX being just some of several amazing technologies Nextech has created so far, the company, which aims to become a leader in the AR space, believes that integrating such technologies in one unified metaverse-centric platform will create tremendous value for its shareholders.

Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) Subsidiary AI Model Predicts Cancer Outcomes, Leads to New Therapies

  • AI models of genomic data can predict cancer outcomes, which can then help personalize ovarian cancer treatments
  • Results come from Helomics’ work on the 100,000 Genomes Project in Genomics England’s National Genomic Research Library
  • Model learns patterns in genetic mutations of patients’ tumors, uses that knowledge to predict patient survival
In an historic announcement in the space where artificial intelligence and precision medicine intersect, Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI) has released initial results for its AI-driven models of ovarian cancer (https://ibn.fm/H3As3). According to Predictive Oncology, the initial results demonstrate that AI models of genomic data can predict cancer outcomes which has the potential to help personalize ovarian cancer treatments and drive the discovery of new therapies. “We are excited to be able to show the impact of using our AI and machine learning approach that leverages complex genomic data to deliver improved, more personalized therapy for ovarian cancer that, worldwide, affects over 300,000 women,” said Predictive Oncology CEO J. Melville Engle. “We are continuing to refine these AI models with the goal of providing highly accurate predictive models of ovarian cancer to help oncologists and drive the development of the next generation precision ovarian cancer therapies.” The results come from POAI subsidiary Helomics’ work on the 100,000 Genomes Project in Genomics England’s National Genomic Research Library (“NGRL”). Helomics has created a new AI-driven model that predicts post-treatment survival time for ovarian cancer patients. According to the company, these AI models have the potential to not only improve treatment paths for ovarian cancer but also to drive the development of new therapies. POAI noted that official study results will be available as a preprint on Biorxiv in the coming weeks. To build the model, Helomics used a machine learning approach to extract key genomic features from nearly 500 ovarian cancer participants in the 100,000 Genomes Project. The AI model learned patterns in the genetic mutations of patients’ tumors and then used that knowledge to predict survival time. The model predicted rates with almost 70% accuracy. With that success as a backdrop, Helomics is now focused on refining its AI models to achieve an even greater accuracy for predictions. The news is notable in the world of oncology because no biomarkers for prognosis and treatment responses in ovarian cancer currently exist, making it difficult for health-care providers to tailor treatments for individual patients. Instead, doctors are forced to choose from a set “menu” of drugs and therapies, observed POAI, a menu that has seen little progress in more than 20 years, even with the significant amount of research devoted to cancer. Using the predictions of patients’ responses to certain therapies, Helomics’ AI model could assist health-care providers in narrowing down the ovarian cancer treatment options, thereby improving patients’ prognosis and offering clinicians a more efficient and cost-effective precision medicine approach to treatment. These models also give doctors and scientists better insights into which genes are involved in response to treatment, which could lead to the development of new precision medicines. “We’re delighted that our multiyear partnership with Helomics has resulted in this important research into ovarian cancer — a disease with significant unmet need,” said Parker Moss, chief commercial and partnership officer at Genomics England. “We are incredibly grateful to the around 900 participants in the 100,000 Genomes Project who suffer from ovarian cancer and have made their data available for this ground-breaking research. Genomics England is pleased to have contributed to Helomics’ work through our ovarian cancer dataset, as this has allowed them to validate their discoveries and create predictive models that will advance drug discovery and support ovarian cancer patients and their doctors.” POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through its Helomics division, the Company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (“PDx”) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a roadmap to help individualize therapy. In addition, the Company is leveraging artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of more than 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug response to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow.

FuelPositive Corp. (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) Developing Tech Solutions for Carbon-free Ammonia Production, Renewable Energy Innovation

  • FuelPositive Corp. is a Canadian clean energy innovator intent on developing manufacturing, licensing and acquisition opportunities, particularly through the development of a carbon-free ammonia production IP
  • The company’s solution, its Phase 2 Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer, is a commercial prototype designed to be transportable, scalable, and efficient in producing carbon-free ammonia for a range of applications
  • Green innovations in ammonia production can immediately benefit the agricultural industry, but also have the potential to create ammonia/hydrogen fuel alternatives to pollutant-heavy petroleum used in internal combustion engines and new ammonia-based storage options for electrical grids
  • FuelPositive began trading on the OTCQB Venture Marketplace last month, adding to its investor profile on the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada
When climate visionaries talk about the possibilities of a carbon-free energy future, many people imagine landscapes covered with solar panels and wind turbines favored as a means of producing “clean” energy. Recognizing that internal combustion engine vehicle emissions remain the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and many other parts of the world, it’s no surprise that debates about electric vehicle (“EV”) adoption also are ticking upward (https://ibn.fm/X9Ebn). Canadian-based FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a licensing and acquisition opportunity developer, is intent on supporting clean energy technologies, particularly ammonia produced in a carbon-free manner for use in a variety of applications. The company is encouraging governments and industries to adopt this significant approach to improving the environment, which includes the possibility of reducing fossil fuel combustion engine emissions in large engines, along with many other applications. But first, FuelPositive is targeting existing ammonia production methods that sustain a multi-billion-dollar global industry tied to world food commerce that creates a large proportion of the greenhouse emissions polluting the planet’s ecosystem. FuelPositive is developing a patent-pending, first-of-its-kind carbon-free method of producing ammonia as its flagship technology to reduce the impact of pollution in ammonia’s commercialization. When used properly, the only discernable emissions from the technology will be water vapor, or, in the case of agriculture, some inert hydrogen emissions. “Until now, the production of ammonia has been one of the most carbon-intense manufacturing processes on the planet, and given the amount of ammonia that is used on an annual basis in a variety of applications, ammonia is a serious negative contributor to greenhouse gases and global warming,” CEO Ian Clifford stated earlier this year (https://ibn.fm/q23Nj). “This development, in sustainable ammonia, and the creation of carbon-free NH3 that is far more efficient than current manufacturing systems, could pave the way for the broad acceptance of ammonia as a fossil fuel replacement.” The technology behind the solution is FuelPositive’s Phase 2 Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer commercial prototype systems. The company anticipates rolling out the first demonstration models early next year through an agreement with National Compressed Air Canada Ltd. (https://ibn.fm/sDNpn). A commercial-scale, carbon-free method of producing ammonia could immediately benefit the agricultural industry with a non-polluting source of fertilizer, but it also has the potential to expand its usefulness to other sectors. A renewable fuel alternative for combustion engines through its hydrogen conversion process, electrical grid storage solutions drawing on ammonia’s high energy density, and electricity provision to northern / remote communities thanks to the technology’s portability are all ways FuelPositive may fulfill its potential. Ammonia’s chemical composition of three hydrogen atoms and one nitrogen results in an energy density by volume that is nearly double that of liquid hydrogen. Liquid hydrogen has been the focus of many renewable energy efforts, but ammonia not only contains a significant amount of hydrogen, it is easier to ship and distribute than liquid hydrogen (https://ibn.fm/ysmXb). “Our (Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer) systems are small, they’re about the size of a shipping container that you would see on an ocean-going ship, and we can move them all over the place. So they can be used exactly where the ammonia is needed, so we don’t have to transport ammonia all over the place,” Clifford recently told a group of young investment advisers (https://ibn.fm/6hHpF). “We think our company will grow a lot in value over the next six to 12 months as our systems are delivered to end users — the people who need the ammonia.” Considering the rapidly growing effects of worldwide global warming, and the serious role that traditional ammonia production plays in that process, FuelPositive’s technology, and the potential for significant reduction in greenhouse gases that it represents, is of global importance.

Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) (NYSE American: EXN) (FSE: E4X2) Reports Strong Second Quarter Financial Results

  • The company reported revenues of $9.7M, in-line with Q1 2021’s sales while gross profit improved to $2.1M, up 16% quarter over quarter
  • Excellon’s production cost per tonne decreased to $273, down 8% quarter over quarter
  • The company also increased its exploration expenditures to $1.8M in Q2 2021, with ongoing mining activity at Mexico’s Platosa mine, as well as in their German and Idaho-based sites
Excellon Resources (TSX: EXN) (NYSE American: EXN) (FSE: E4X2), a silver and base metals producer with precious metal projects in Mexico, Idaho and Germany, has recently published their second quarter results for the 2021 fiscal year. The Company reported Q2 2021 revenues of $9.7 million, up from the $0.7 million registered in Q2 2020, while gross profit improved to $2.1 million, a significant improvement from last year when there was a loss of -$2.6 million. Excellon Resources also reported that the company had cash and marketable securities totalling $7.1 million at hand as of June 30, 2021. Excellon Resources’ strong second quarter results were directly correlated to the robust production numbers generated from the Platosa Mine in Durango, Mexico. Excellon saw silver production of 296,013 ounces, lead production of 1.9 million pounds and zinc production of 2.5 million pounds – in aggregate totalling silver equivalent production of 487,009 ounces. Although comparative results relative to the equivalent period in 2020 were impacted by the suspension of activities in Mexico from April 2, 2020 to June 1, 2020 on account of the COVID-19 outbreak, the second quarter of 2021 marked the fourth consecutive quarter of over 21,000 tonnes mined and milled. “Platosa delivered a fourth consecutive quarter of production at historically high productivity rates,” stated Brendan Cahill, President & CEO of Excellon Resources (https://ibn.fm/eE7Hs). “We continue to see room for improvement, with our ongoing work to improve recoveries at Miguel Auza and, additionally, a sizeable inventory of ore and concentrate at quarter-end due to mill maintenance and weather conditions in late June.” In addition to the high productivity rates witnessed within the company’s operations, Excellon Resources were simultaneously able to reduce their marginal cost of extraction. Production cost per tonne decreased to $273 per tonne, a decline of 8 percent relative to the first quarter of 2021, with the all-in sustaining cost per silver ounce payable decreasing to $26.69 per ounce (https://ibn.fm/KPgIy). Exploration expenditures rose by 597 percent year over year and by 80 percent quarter over quarter to $1.8 million as drilling operations continued to ramp up across various sites. Excellon Resources has recently commenced the process of drilling and adding a second rig at the Silver City site in Germany’s Saxony following the approval of the 2021 drilling operation plan, and it has looked to expand surface and underground drilling operations on multiple targets within the Platosa Mine property. Additionally, the company has commenced drilling at the Oakley Project in conjunction with Centerra Gold Inc. “The operation delivered good improvements in cost-per-tonne and cash costs, while AISC was higher in the quarter due to sustaining capital expenditures, a part of which had been deferred from earlier periods,” stated Cahill. “Most importantly, we continued to ramp-up exploration on our projects, with Platosa ongoing and Silver City and Oakley getting started. We look forward to drilling results from our resource growth and discovery-focused projects through the remainder of the year.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.ExcellonResources.com.

Brain Scientific Inc.’s (BRSF) Technology Could Be Part of the Solution as New Research Finds that Neurological Consequences of COVID-19 Could be the Norm Rather than Exception

  • It has become known that COVID-19 patients can present with neurological symptoms, but new comprehensive cross-country study indicates that it could be more prevalent than previously thought
  • This could represent enormous challenge to healthcare as it needs to prepare for immediate and longer-term rehabilitation care of these patients
  • Brain Scientific is committed to remaining at forefront of brain diagnostics, potentially offering solution to higher need for neurological care of COVID-19 patients
Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), a commercial-stage health care company on a mission to modernize brain diagnostics, could be the one offering solution to the rising challenge global healthcare systems face in the post-Covid world. As scientists are starting to collect more and more data, they can decipher both immediate and longer-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Research has been mounting demonstrating that some infected patients suffer from neurological symptoms, including memory loss, stroke, and other effects on the brain (https://ibn.fm/CM7uW). However, the new comprehensive cross-country study recently published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry reveals that neurological symptoms may actually be the norm rather than an exception (https://ibn.fm/s3uJw). A new systematic review and meta-analysis conducted by University College London examined 215 COVID-19 studies across 30 different countries involving 105,638 symptomatic COVID-19 patients from January to July 2020. The research team was expecting to find neurologic and psychiatric findings to be more common in severe COVID-19. Instead, they found that some of these symptoms appeared to be more common in mild cases, indicating that COVID-19 affecting the brain could be the norm, rather than the exception as previously thought. The study also demonstrates no clear link of these symptoms to systemic or respiratory symptoms. According to the authors, the most prevalent neurological symptoms actually occurred more frequently in patients with less severe COVID-19. This finding could indicate that neurological symptoms are not necessarily correlated with systemic or respiratory symptoms. As we learn more about COVID-19, it is becoming increasingly clear that neurological care in the post-Covid world will be crucial. In the words of the authors, with millions of people infected globally, even the rarer symptoms could affect considerably more people than in normal times. Due to the sheer scale of the pandemic, this could potentially represent a massive challenge to healthcare systems that need to prepare both for the immediate care of these patients and their longer-term rehabilitation needs. In an environment like this, Brain Scientific’s next-generation technological solutions for the neurology market could become critical as they offer EEG testing to be deployed rapidly and accurately in children and adults alike. The company’s two FDA-cleared devices, NeuroCap(TM) and NeuroEEG(TM), allow quick and reliable EEG testing in minutes and by any healthcare worker, not only specialized neurological technicians, bringing brain diagnostics to settings where it was previously impossible or difficult to conduct neurological testing.
