StraightUp Resources (CSE: ST)is a public company engaged in the business of mineral exploration and the acquisition of mineral property assets in North America. The company’s flagship properties are located in the Red Lake Mining District of Ontario, Canada, renowned for over 30 million ounces of historic gold production. Other key projects extend into the neighboring Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt of the Uchi Subprovince. The company’s management team is led by dedicated professionals, aiming to maximize shareholder value while employing modern exploration techniques and principles to achieve its goals. The mission of StraightUp Resources is to maximize shareholder wealth through mineral discoveries at projects with robust potential, maintain long-lasting partnerships, and continue to focus on the acquisition, development and exploration of mineral resource properties in North America. The company’s objective is to continue to locate and develop economic, precious and base metal properties of merit. The company’s 10,000-hectare (almost 25,000 acres) RLX Projects are contiguous to various Evolution Mining, Great Bear Resources, Pacton Gold and Dixie Gold properties. Its 2,000-hectare (just under 5,000 acres) Belanger Project is contiguous to Infinite Ore’s Fredart and Garnet/Arrow properties. StraightUp intends to conduct exploration on the RLX North, RLX South, Belanger and Ferdinand Gold properties located in the Red Lake District, a location touted as having one of the best metal-endowed greenstone belts in the world. The Bear Head Gold Project is located within the Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt of the Uchi Subprovince, approximately 80 kilometers west of the Pickle Lake Gold Camp and 14 km northeast of the former gold mine, Golden Patricia. It amassed 620,000 ounces of gold at an average of 15.2 g/t Au from 1988-1997. The property is bordered by an Australian miner massive gold project. Known gold occurrences are already mapped on the Bear Head property, as are previous drill holes and results. Once the data is re-examined, an exploration budget and subsequent plans will be announced by the company. Projects Ontario’s Red Lake Mining District is one of Canada’s most prolific gold mining districts, renowned for its high-grade gold deposits. This is a mining-friendly, politically stable jurisdiction with a skilled labor force and infrastructure specifically built around meeting the needs of the mining industry. RLX North & South Projects At over 10,000 hectares, the RLX North and RLX South Projects represent a district-scale exploration opportunity. The RLX North and RLX South Projects are well positioned on-strike to the southeast of the district’s largest gold deposit (Red Lake Gold Mines – Evolution Mining). The project is adjacent to Great Bear Resources’ Sobel Project. Great Bear Resources is also in the process of evaluating the area for significant regional-scale structural controls and has proposed additional work on its neighboring project in the near term. These properties are highly accessible, with the southern boundary only eight kilometers from the paved highway into Red Lake, and can be accessed by forest service roads which traverse throughout the properties. Belanger Project Historic exploration work on the 2,000-hectare property has identified three significant surface exposures of gold, copper and silver. Early exploration work will focus on validating historic sampling results and following the occurrences along strike with a view to better understanding the nature and controls on mineralization. The property has excellent forest road access from the town of Ear Falls. Ferdinand Gold Project The Ferdinand property is situated within the southeastern extension of the Confederation-Uchi greenstone belt, one of the most metal-endowed greenstone belts in the world by square kilometer. It consists of 17 contiguous mining claims covering approximately 7,143 hectares (17,650 acres), located 13 kilometers northwest of the town of Slate Falls. Access is currently by logging roads, with forestry logging operations scheduled for expansion on the property. StraightUp recently completed a heliborne magnetic survey consisting of 1,994 line-km at 50m line spacings covering the entire property. The MAG survey was designed to provide geological and structural details of a 25km long southeast extension of the Confederation-Uchi greenstone belt along the Fry-Bamaji Deformation Zone. Bear Head Gold Project The Bear Head Gold Project comprises 31 mining claims totaling 1,944 hectares (4,800 acres) in the Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt of the Uchi Subprovince, host to the Golden Patricia former gold mine, which produced 620,000 ounces of gold from 1988 to 1997. The Dorothy Main gold deposit owned by Ardiden lies only one kilometer from the Bear Head Gold Project. The Dorothy Main gold deposit holds noncompliant historical resources of 46,600 ounces of gold at 6.17 g/t Au. The company looks forward to adding the Bear Head Gold Project to its exploration efforts, with a work program to be conducted later in the fall of 2021.

• SVFD Advisory Board to be chaired by Dr. Art Dawson, who brings extensive experience across the post-harvest sector to his new position.
• Company is turning focus from product development to commercialization.
• Save Foods has growing portfolio of proprietary, effective produce solutions; initial customer response to products has been positive.

Save Foods (NASDAQ: SVFD), an agri-food tech company focused on creating solutions to food waste and loss as well as food safety, has announced the formation of a new advisory board (https://ibn.fm/0RiwJ). In addition, the company appointed Dr. Art Dawson as board chairman. Initially, the board and its members will focus its efforts on building market awareness and facilitating sales of Save Foods’ products. “We are delighted to welcome Art as chair of our advisory board. He will be a tremendous asset to our team,” said Save Foods CEO David Palach. “Art has repeatedly demonstrated his ability to guide products from development to market and propel revenue growth in the global arena. I am confident we will benefit greatly from his insight and expertise as we turn our focus from product development to commercialization.” According to the company, Dawson brings extensive experience across the post-harvest sector to his new position. Most recently, Dawson founded the Dawson Company, an agriculture and postharvest consultancy; he also serves as editor of “The Heartbeat of Agricultural Technology,” a digital magazine focused on cutting-edge industry technology. In the past, Dawson has held leadership positions with major produce operations, including worldwide general manager of Decco Post Harvest Division and vice president of fungicides at Ecogen Inc. Dawson also worked as manager of quality control for Dole Citrus and manager of fresh fruit sciences group at Sunkist Growers Inc. “This is an exciting time for Save Foods,” observed Dawson. “I believe they are well positioned to become a leader in the sector. They have a growing portfolio of proprietary, extremely effective produce solutions and initial customer response to their products has been very positive. I look forward to working with management to realize their full growth potential.” The company also announced that Dawson is a featured guest on the latest episode of The Stock2Me Podcast, a program that features a fascinating array of companies and individuals, many of whom are actively revolutionizing age-old business practices within their respective markets (https://ibn.fm/V9Wyh). Throughout the interview, Dawson and Stock2Me Podcast host Stuart Smith explored Dawson’s extensive background in the post-harvest industry as well as discussing Save Foods’ business model, recent milestones and near-term goals. “The most important thing to know is that Save Foods has successfully completed the development and has also begun to market natural, eco-friendly [treatment] for fresh produce,” said Dawson during the interview. “These solutions are used in the process of protecting fresh fruits and vegetables, and, therefore, they’re an important part of the economic scheme of the fresh produce value chain. This is because the products themselves contribute to the extension of shelf life within that value chain. They are also used simultaneously to ensure food safety and to ensure compliance with the current U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act. “To summarize this point, Save Foods’ solution not only prolongs the shelf life of produce, thus reducing wasted food, but it also ensures safe, natural and healthy produce,” he continued. “Moreover, Save Foods’ solution leaves behind no unhealthy chemical residues. So with these innovations in play, Save Foods is addressing one of the biggest issues in the food business today . . . pathogens. These pathogens are the main cause of food decay and food safety issues… which lead to food waste, human illness and produce recalls. These issues alone cost hundreds of billions of dollars to the economy every year.” Dawson noted that Save Foods uses its proprietary technology, which includes natural food acids, to deal with pathogens. The technology results in an exclusive Save Foods treatment that reduces and in some cases replaces completely the synthetic residuals fungicides currently being used to protect produce. “In addition to the consumers’ benefit, there’s a specific result that is of high interest to those people in the produce business,” said Dawson. “Save Foods solution is easy to use and implement. It is easily integrated into the already existing fruit and vegetable packing systems. It enters seamlessly into the user’s current operations.” Save Foods offers the first green product with potential to actually replace the different residuals chemicals used today while also addressing the challenges of both food waste and food safety. The company’s core applications are ecofriendly, post-harvest treatments for fruits and vegetables. SVFD’s proprietary technologies reduce the need for conventional post-harvest fungicide by at least 50% — even entirely in some cases — can reduce food loss due to spoilage by up to 50%. The company is dedicated to delivering integrated solutions for improved safety, freshness and quality, every step of the way from field to fork. Collaborating closely with its customers, Save Foods develops new solutions that benefit the entire supply chain and improve the safety and quality of life of both workers and the consumers alike.

• Research team uses Delphi process for the first time to identify ideal cannabis dosing guidelines.
• After several rounds of voting, the ‘global task force’ created three separate dosing protocols.
• RYAH Group’s suite of precision dosing devices provide a practical way to safely execute these — or any — recommended dosing guidelines.

Dosing recommendations are critical in any health treatments, but where cannabis is concerned, dosing levels have been tricky to identify. A recent blog from RYAH Group (CSE: RYAH) notes that a team of more than 20 cannabis experts have published consensus recommendations for dosing and administration of medical cannabis to treat chronic pain (https://ibn.fm/2BHJC). RYAH is a leading digital health care analytics and technology company with a mission to advance the world’s transition to remote-health solutions and data analytics in patient treatments. “Despite hundreds of thousands of patients legally using medical cannabis to treat a broad spectrum of conditions, it remains frustratingly difficult to dose,” the Sept. 8 article states. “There are no official guidelines or dosing schedules. In large part, patients experiment independently, with information found online or based on vague suggestions from friends. “Physicians, researchers, and lawmakers have struggled to craft policies around cannabis dosage guidelines,” the blog continued. “But, as medical cannabis earns more acceptance across the national and international health care community, there have been renewed attempts to settle on safe and standardized dosage recommendations.” The article goes on to report that in a renewed attempt to identify clear, scientifically supported dosing recommendations, researchers applied the Delphi process to reach a dosage consensus regarding a specific condition; the team chose to focus on chronic pain. The researchers utilized the Delphi process, a systematic, interactive way of gaining opinions or agreement from a panel of independent experts, typically through surveys or questionnaires of some sort, to determine cannabis dosing (https://ibn.fm/Ldklx). Results of the group’s efforts were published in the “Journal of Cannabis Research.” The paper noted that “the modified Delphi process has been used extensively in health care settings to provide consensus-based recommendations on important clinical questions where randomized control trial data is lacking.” Cannabis dosing seemed perfectly suited to this approach. “After several rounds of voting, the ‘global task force’ created three separate dosing protocols: routine administration, conservative administration, and rapid administration,” the RYAH blog noted. “Each is designed to ease a patient treating chronic pain into medical cannabis and treatment with THC if needed. “Dosing guidelines like [these] just one-half of the equation,” the article continued. “The other half is the delivery mechanism. Patients need a reliable way to receive consistent and measurable doses, to adhere to their treatment protocol. Physicians also need a way to monitor patient titration and dose size.” Enter RYAH Group. RYAH Group’s suite of precision intake control and management devices provides a practical way to execute these — or any — volume control guidelines safely. The RYAH Smart Patch, Inhaler, and Pen enable patients and physicians to control their medicine, the specific administration volume, and the protocol behind the treatment. In addition, detailed analytics provided by these RYAH devices help determine which intake volumes are working and what needs adjusting, and a patient’s progress in their treatment. It’s the data-driven approach to plant-based medicine desperately needed to help patients reach their goals faster. “We want to create useful technology that collects, analyzes, and leverages objective data on therapeutic plant usage,” the company states. “A holistic approach to plant treatment is now possible thanks to RYAH products. Using smart devices, artificial intelligence, and an integrated platform, patients and doctors can stay on top of their prescriptions in a way that is both safe and seamless.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.RYAHGroup.com.

Offering a wide range of plant-based foods and ready-to-go meals, snacks, coffee, pantry staples, beer, and wine, this company has reported incredible growth since PlantX acquired it in May 2021. So far, it already has over 500 new plant-based items. The company also announced that its Executive Chairman, Mr. Fred Leigh, currently owns 2,100,000 common shares and has purchased 250,000 shares since his recent appointment as chairman. So far, PlantX has continued to position itself for growth and success, and it is paying off. The rest of the 2021 fiscal year looks brighter owing to what the company has done so far, the foundation it has laid, and its plans for the future.

• The company has completed many milestones to date, with plans to finalize its Phase 2 Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer commercial prototype by the end of 2021, and other high-visibility projects planned for 2022
• Hydrogen transportation and storage poses a problem on account of volatility and high costs, but carbon-free ammonia is a cost-efficient and environmentally logical alternative
• The weather of 2021 has been a key indicator of the climate changes that are taking place and the need to work toward the net-zero 2050 plans made globally

FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF), a growth-stage company focused on providing commercially viable and sustainable clean energy solutions, including carbon-free ammonia (“NH3”), for use across a broad spectrum of industries and applications, has provided a corporate update announcing that prototype development milestones have been set and met (https://ibn.fm/6WpPj). The company’s lead technology is a system for producing carbon-free ammonia for use across various industries and applications. FuelPositive recently presented at the H.C. Wainwright 23rd Annual Global Investment Conference, where CEO and Board Chair Ian Clifford participated in one-on-one meetings. The company presented its most recent corporate presentation during the conference and also announced that prototype systems are scheduled for completion by the end of 2021, and that high-visibility projects are planned for 2022. “Having received extensive interest from investors and potential partners since our last corporate update on July 15, we felt it would be helpful to share how we are progressing, particularly regarding the building of our Phase 2 Hydrogen-Ammonia Synthesizer commercial prototype systems,” Clifford explained in the corporate update. To date, the milestones met by FuelPositive include:

• Process Determination – establishment of the flow diagram, process map completed, and major component design parameters have been established
• Major Component Vendor Selection and Procurement – the production of hydrogen, nitrogen, fabrication of reactors, separation process, and heat exchangers
• Engineering Design – process modeling and design, reactor modeling and design, ammonia separation modeling and design, and instrumentation and control process development and design

Interested in the effects of climate change and the impact of fossil fuels on the environment, FuelPositive sees the changes that have taken place within this category. One of the most common signs that complex systems are reaching a tipping point is the rise in volatility. An example is the extreme weather patterns of 2021 – heat domes, droughts, fires, floods, cyclones, and more. Because of these increasingly alarming patterns, much of the world is adopting plans for climate action, with a goal of net-zero by 2050. And, as it says in a recent article, “…But net zero commitments by other sectors work only if farmland goes sharply net negative. That means an end to livestock farming and the restoration of forests, peat bogs and other natural carbon sinks.” (https://ibn.fm/seNdc). With many industries looking at hydrogen as a potential replacement for current fuel measures, it is still undeniable that clean hydrogen may be too expensive and inefficient to play a major role in the decarbonization of heat, transport, and heavy industries (https://ibn.fm/AOrtx). Hydrogen is extremely difficult and energy intensive. The end product is highly volatile, essentially difficult to contain, making it an inappropriate option as an energy carrier. FuelPositive’s carbon-free ammonia offers a solution to this problem. Carbon-free ammonia is more cost-effective and easily contained, and can be used either as a clean hydrogen carrier or a fueling method per se. The company’s patent-pending first-of-its-kind carbon-free ammonia has the potential to eliminate and replace fossil fuels in several industries, including agriculture and transportation, reduce the need for massive ammonia processing facilities, produce carbon credits on a substantial level, help provide electricity for grid storage and fuel the shift to a hydrogen economy.

• Health diagnostics technology innovator Avricore Health has introduced its HealthTab platform as a means of improving patients’ ability to monitor their health conditions through point-of-care testing under the guidance of trained pharmacists
• HealthTab uses partnerships with molecular testing device makers to establish rapid molecular testing services in pharmacies, including the Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacy network in Ontario
• The initial rollout has taken place in 15 Shoppers pharmacies, with rapid scaling planned to achieve more than 600 locations by the end of 2023
• HealthTab’s diagnostics platform is designed to be high quality with appropriate approvals and certifications, helping patients to avoid delays in lab result turnaround
• The COVID pandemic has exposed weaknesses in lab result turnaround time capacity, but Avricore’s testing offers solutions that include COVID infection analysis under a new agreement

The unexpected advent of the COVID-19 global pandemic last year taxed health response infrastructures on numerous fronts as the rapidly spreading SARS-COV-2 virus caused an influx of sick and dying patients at hospitals struggling to keep up with demands for intensive care. The health emergency exposed weaknesses in the diagnostic ecosystem, as well. Once testing protocols were developed, health experts still struggled to get labs the necessary resources and labs struggled to turn around test results in a timely fashion (https://ibn.fm/gdfiR). By November, many labs were reporting they had improved turnaround times for COVID results to one-to-two days, but as case numbers began a winter surge in the United States and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) threatened to cut its payments to slow labs, lab professionals braced for new obstacles to timely reporting (https://ibn.fm/ppGHh). Those challenges persist, particularly affected by the ebb and flow of COVID case rates during the current pandemic climate. The Baltimore Sun reported this month that a new increase in test demand as COVID infections rise and a variety of business and government institutions mandate testing is again threatening turnaround times and may, as a result, create an unintended increase in outbreaks if those left waiting for lab results fail to quarantine (https://ibn.fm/5a56Q). Pharmacy services developer Avricore Health (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF) is helping to tackle the problem head-on with the rollout of its Point of Care Testing ecosystem that encourages patients to get lab-quality results for COVID and other illnesses at local pharmacies, with the results then shared seamlessly to patients, medical professionals and researchers in real time without compromising health privacy. Avricore’s flagship HealthTab platform establishes the interlocking data connections, drawing on partnerships with Abbott Diagnostics and Abaxis Global Diagnostics for the technological interfaces that are lab-grade instruments compliant with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and European Conformitè Europëenne (“CE”) standards and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) certification (https://ibn.fm/HE5Ei). Abbott’s trademarked ID Now molecular testing instrument is capable of a molecular test for COVID-19, as well as other common infectious respiratory illness pharmacies treat, such as Respiratory Syncytial Virus (“RSV”), influenza A and B, and strep.  This allows pharmacies to identify, treat share information quickly and accurately with respect to these illnesses, add to the company’s trademarked Afinion 2 device for testing for heart disease and diabetes data in use through HealthTab (https://ibn.fm/ftWiG). “With ID Now(TM) on the HealthTab(TM) network in community pharmacy, patients can know what they have and get focused treatment and prevent spread through better information,” Avricore CEO Hector Bremner stated in the company’s announcement about the device.

• Dozy Mmobuosi, CEO and co-founder of Tingo Mobile, aims to accelerate digital commerce in Agritech and Fintech verticals across Africa
• Mmobuosi spearheaded the design and launch of Nigeria’s first SMS banking solution and has led Tingo’s growth to more than $600 million in annual revenue
• Tingo’s innovative mobile Agritech and Fintech platforms and credit solutions bolster commerce, connect markets and provide mobile banking services
• Due to growing need and demand, Mmobuosi expects Tingo Mobile to become the continent’s leading Agri-Fintech business powered through smartphone technology

Dozy Mmobuosi founded Tingo Mobile in 2001 to bring mobile technology and Fintech solutions to the unbanked rural areas in Nigeria. Mmobousi’s first Fintech endeavor was a revolutionary SMS banking solution which represented the first mobile payment platform in Nigeria which remains in use today. Mmobuosi’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident even in his youth when he was threatened with expulsion for selling “provision commodities” while in secondary school in Nigeria. He even cleaned and packaged used clothing for re-sale while home on holiday. From those humble beginnings he began to promote concerts and events and eventually created, Naijafans, the only Nigerian-focused social media platform at the time. Along the way he managed to earn advanced degrees, holding a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in political science and economics, respectively, from Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma, and a Ph.D. in rural advancement from Universiti Putra Malaysia. Fast forward a few decades, and Mmobuosi, now 43, has brought his company, Tingo (OTCQB: IWBB), public in a deal valued at $3.7 billion. Tingo, with over $600 million annual revenues and nearly 10 million subscribers, is Nigeria’s leading Agri-Fintech and device-as-a-service platform aimed at accelerating digital commerce in the agricultural sector. The company helps farmers acquire mobile phones through a unique leasing plan, connecting them to mobile and data networks through its own virtual mobile network. Mmobuosi headed a team of more than 120 Chinese and Nigerian engineers in the construction of two mobile phone assembly plants in Nigeria, to produce and distribute 20 million phones across the country. Tingo connects farmers to markets, services and resources via Nwassa, its digital Agritech marketplace platform that commenced operations in 2020. More recently, Mmobuosi directed the launch of a beta version of TingoPay – a B2B and B2C fintech app which will provide financial services to users inside and outside of agriculture which includes mobile wallets, payment processing and access to specialist lenders, insurers and pension products. Mmobuosi also plans for Tingo to soon roll out a blockchain-based solution that will empower frictionless trade across borders in Africa. This innovation and market-proven model give Tingo the ability to deliver the same service model across all of Africa and transform the continent with Agri-Fintech solutions powered through smartphone technology. Tingo intends to become a truly Pan-African company with global reach that modernizes the continent by providing a complete digital ecosystem to facilitate financial interaction and deliver disruptive micro-finance solutions. Digitally connecting the agricultural value chain that represents such a large share of Africa’s economy could easily be the impetus to democratizing commerce and propelling the continent into the 21st century. Through Tingo Inc., Dozy Mmobuosi is committed to delivering Agri-Fintech, telecommunications and market access to millions of farmers, consumers and other key players across Africa. A marketplace platform that connects every stakeholder in the agricultural value chain, from farmers, to packaging and logistic partners to everyday people looking to purchase fresh produce at the best prices is certain to change the fortunes of Africa, one of the last frontiers for global growth.

• States that have already legalized cannabis are seeing a spike in business thanks to the overwhelming convenience of cannabis delivery
• Article reports that delivery services can “help surge revenue for retailers that jump in to take advantage”
• Earlier this year, SGMD launched a new business initiative for the licensed delivery of cannabis products

According to a recent article, states that have already legalized cannabis, such as California, are seeing a spike in business thanks to the overwhelming convenience of cannabis delivery (https://ibn.fm/AGyL4). This is great news for Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD), an innovator in the dynamic California cannabis scene with majority control and ownership of cannabis delivery service Nug Avenue, based in Southern California and providing hand-selected top-shelf products from Stiiizy, Kanha, PlugPlay, Cookies and more. “Just in January of 2019, California legalized statewide cannabis delivery,” noted the article, titled “The Hottest Revenue Stream in Cannabis” and released by High There, the largest cannabis social network. “This removed the previous regulations that prevented the legal access to cannabis delivery throughout roughly 70% of the state. . . . As of January 19, cannabis delivery services can reach almost any address in California – and this includes the areas where retailers are still banned from opening a storefront. “Landmark states that have already legalized cannabis, like California, are seeing a spike in business thanks to the overwhelming convenience of cannabis delivery,” the article continued. “Since January 19, the promise for delivery being the next wave in cannabis commerce is becoming obvious.  What many are considering the next trend for cannabis business, delivery services can help surge revenue for the retailers that jump in to take advantage.” The article noted that the cannabis industry is already a record $10 billion and climbing, even with cannabis prohibition still in place in much of the country.  “A particularly explosive section of this industry is almost exclusively the new cannabis delivery sector,” the article stated. “In fact, according to Statista.com, 44% of medical marijuana users across the U.S. regularly used a cannabis delivery service to buy their bud.  With legalization only having ramped up since then, it’s likely the numbers have only continued to increase, making the market ripe for cannabis delivery.” Earlier this year, Sugarmade acquired a 70% stake in Nug Avenue, a Lynwood, California-based cannabis delivery operation, and launched a new business initiative for the licensed delivery of cannabis products (https://ibn.fm/Yn6Jj). “We strongly believe the LA delivery market is the prime spot for expansion of our business,” said Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan.  “California is the world’s sixth-largest economy, and LA County is by far the most significant driver, with over 25% of the state’s population.  The Lynwood, California, site is optimal, as it is located along one of the major distribution freeways, allowing drivers to efficiently reach the more than 15 million consumers that live within a 30-mile radius of the new location. We plan to make a big impact on the LA cannabis delivery marketplace.” Sugarmade Inc. is a product and branding marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. In addition to its financial interest in the BudCars brand, SGMD’s brand portfolio includes NUG Avenue, CarryOutsupplies.com and SugarRush.
