• Police in Australia recently reported a data-sharing error that caused domestic violence victims’ addresses to be published to the offenders accused of harassing them
• The situation demonstrated the vulnerability of the police service’s public safety measures, leading to recommendation that at least one of the victims move to a new residence, and highlighting the critical need for advanced electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology for domestic violence offenders
• SuperCom Ltd., a secured tracking solutions provider for governments, is focused on ensuring that its superior PureConnect EM platform is available for tracking the movements of offenders under parole and probation supervision, including accused domestic violence offenders
• The company’s technology not only helps meet public safety concerns but also helps accused offenders to remain employed and active in society

Electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology innovator SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) has built its PureSecurity suite as a public safety solution that draws on the most advanced technology to track the movements of potentially dangerous individuals who nevertheless are deemed a low enough risk that they can resume normal activities under observation.

The company’s end-to-end solution, helping justice systems worldwide reduce recidivism and improve offender rehabilitation, uses GPS tracking, communication, monitoring technologies, and real-time tracking and reporting to provide the best EM services.

PureProtect’s goal-driven design approach focuses on reducing domestic violence, supporting house arrest orders, and generally observing the movements of individuals involved in sensitive situations.

When the Queensland, Australia, state police recently reported it had received information from a media outlet that a “data system breach” had caused domestic violence victims’ addresses to be published to their accused offenders, the police service struggled to come up with a solution and advised at least one victim to move to a new home, according to The Associated Press (https://ibn.fm/VSQi1).

At least five victims in hiding were harassed by phone or email, and the police service’s records management system recorded the victims’ addresses as the place where the offenses took place, which were then included on published court paperwork (https://ibn.fm/MUt1p). While the police service ultimately set up CCTV government cameras at the victims’ homes as a means of security, the incidents serve as an example of how judicial systems could make better use of technology such as that offered by SuperCom to protect vulnerable individuals.

“Our GPS technology and 24/7 monitoring center services are perfectly aligned to meet the needs of their clients and operations, providing robust and reliable solutions to support their mission,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi stated in an Aug. 29 news release (https://ibn.fm/KtfKf).

SuperCom’s flagship platform works in near real-time to transmit information on a monitored subject’s whereabouts, not only on a geographical footprint but also with elevation data, for more effective use in the 3-D landscape inhabited by apartment dwellers and office workers. The system also notifies victims via cell phone if an offender’s location is proximal to their location.

Another virtue of SuperCom’s technology is its streamlined presence, allowing offenders to wear it more discretely than traditional bulky ankle monitors, thus avoiding the social stigma that may accompany the more obvious presence of monitoring technology. In addition, the use of cell phone technology to quickly notify victims of offenders’ whereabouts serves as a simple and readily adaptable method.

The technology is a win-win for criminal justice systems, providing a valuable measure of public safety while also making it possible for qualifying offenders to avoid incarceration. That helps jail services reduce expenses and avoid overcrowding while also helping the offender to function gainfully in the community through employment and safe interactions.

• Dynasty Gold represents a significant investor opportunity in the secure North American gold market, holding a still small market resting on an impressive portfolio potential.
• The company has two 100% owned gold assets (Ontario and Nevada) in two of the most desirable mineral belts in North America.
• Thundercloud project hosts a measured and indicated resource of 232,000 oz at 8.04 g/t, an impressive high-grade for an open–pit mine, or 439,000 at 2.14 g/t (internal resource estimate, not NI43-101), a robust open-pit mine. The drill holes are shallow holes of less than 250 meters in length and it opens at depth.
• Investment potential in both properties is further boosted by their proven historical locations and easy access to key mining infrastructure.
• Recently completed Phase 1 drilling at flagship Thundercloud Property indicates the presence of a robust mineralized system.
• The company’s strategic focus is to expand its resource base with similar high-potential properties while advancing current exploration efforts.

Canadian gold exploration company Dynasty Gold Corp. (TSX.V: DYG) (OTC: DGDCF) is rapidly emerging as a key player in the sector, due to its portfolio, its recent drilling results, and the unique position it has in the industry, along with a small market cap compared to the huge potential of its assets.

Specifically, Dynasty made rapid progress in developing its Thundercloud asset in Ontario since its acquisition of the project in October 2021:

In the last two short years Dynasty has advanced the Thundercloud resource from 137,000 inferred resource at 1.37 g/t to 232,000 oz measured and indicated at 8.04 g/t of 3.03 g/t (its internal resource estimates. An impressive high-grade resource for an open-pit mine. At 0.5 g/t cut-off, the project is boosted to 439,000 oz at 2.14 g/t. 90% of drill holes are shallow holes and less than 250m in length and 90% of the property untested by drilling. The company continues to drill to increase the resource.

All of these factors make Dynasty Gold an attractive option for investors looking to support a fast-growing company in an expanding sector, with realistic potential for substantial gains.

The company has two 100% owned gold assets located in two of the most profitable mining camps in Canada and the United States:

Thundercloud Property (Ontario)

Strategically located in the Archean Manitou-Stormy Lakes Greenstone belt in Western Ontario, with a geological setting similar to the Abitibi belt but much less explored, the Thundercloud Property, Dynasty Gold’s flagship project, covers approximately 5,560 acres. The property has easy access to excellent infrastructure, being situated 47 kilometers southeast of the resource-based town of Dryden, Ontario and accessible via the Trans-Canada Highway. Ontario is renowned for rich mineral deposits and supportive mining infrastructure and Dryden provides key infrastructure for mining operations.

The property has significant potential for bulk-tonnage orogenic gold mineralization, with high-grade mineralization. Approximately 30 million ounces of gold have been discovered in the area over the last few years.

Dynasty Gold has recently completed Phase 1 of its 2024 Drill Program at the property, with impressive results. “Dynasty completed Phase 1 of the 4,000 meters planned drilling, consisting of 11 holes for a total of 2,198 meters,” Ivy Chong, President and CEO, was quoted as saying in a company press release (https://ibn.fm/TF8wH).

“The eight holes within the Pelham Zone all intersected intervals from 10+ to 70 meters of strong pyrite veinlets and disseminations similar to that associated with high-grade mineralization in the previous two years of grades up to 8.4 g/t gold over 73.5m including 151.7 g/t gold over 3.0m,” Chong added. Similar mineralization was intersected within the three holes drilled approximately 300m to the west under an area with multiple small historic exploration pits.

Selected Previous High Grades Intervals

72.2 g/t over 6.5m – DP22-03

65.2 g/t over 3.0m – DP22-02

38.3 g/t over 1.0m – PH88-10

37.5 g/t over 1.0m – TC08-11

19.3 g/t over 3.0m – DP23-01

18.3 g/t over 3.0m – DP23-01

11.2 g/t over 3.0m – DP23-10

11.0 g/t over 12m – DP23-04

10.4 g/t over 6.0m – DP23-03

8.8 g/t over 7.5m – DP23-10

8.3 g/t over 3.0m – DP22-05

7.1 g/t over 14.8m-DP23-03

July of this year drill results are pending. Drilling was set to recommence in September to test the remaining 90% of the property untested by drilling. This area has huge potential for more gold discovery. The goal is to increase the resource to 1 million oz.

The high-grade intercepts indicate the presence of a robust mineralized system, which can further boost the project’s resource estimate and the company’s profile on the market. This degree of mineralization at a comparatively shallow depth (less than 250 meters, while similar projects often need to drill 700+ meters for similar results) further enhances the project’s attractiveness to investors.

The Golden Repeat Property (Nevada)

Strategically located in the prolific Midas region, along the Carlin Trend within the Northern Nevada Rift, the property covers approximately 968 acres, comprising 49 mining claims. These claims share geological similarities with gold properties in the Midas Gold Camp, with epithermal bonanza-style high grade gold-and-silver deposits. The property has easy access to key mining infrastructure, is surrounded by other major gold mines and is easily accessible from Interstate 80.

The Golden Repeat project was briefly explored in the 1990s, when Gold Fields and Romarco Minerals drilled five holes. Dynasty Gold drilled three more holes in 2011, leaving a large portion of the property untested by drilling.

While continuing exploration at its two key projects, Dynasty Gold plans to expand its portfolio with other quality, high potential properties with good infrastructure in mineral-reach areas, with the ultimate goal of increasing shareholder value and cementing its role in the expanding gold market. According to 2023 statistics from the Word Gold Council, the physical financial gold market – made up of bars, coins, gold ETFs and central bank reserves – is worth nearly $5 trillion (https://ibn.fm/EpNkq). Gold prices have also shown a rising trend recently, with the spot price of gold reaching $2,577 per ounce as of Sept. 17, 2024 (https://ibn.fm/r2EdF).

With an experienced exploration team led by seasoned geologists with proven track records in mineral discoveries, and with a unique market position highlighted by its minuscule market capitalization with significant asset potential, Dynasty Gold is on track to becoming a key player in the sector, offering investors and shareholders access to attractive opportunities and a solid return on investment.

• Company’s flagship Duquesne West Gold Property is believed to host an estimated historical mineral resource of 727,000 ounces of gold.
• Emperor Metals aims to scale this resource as quickly and efficiently as possible, with the goal of increasing its market cap and enhancing shareholder value.
• An updated mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) is planned for Q1 2025, based on drilling results achieved last year and this year’s overall 16,000 meters assayed, and associated cutoff grades are planned to be significantly lowered.

Emperor Metals (CSE: AUOZ) (OTCQB: EMAUF) (FSE: 9NH), an advanced stage gold exploration company, was recently featured on IBN’s The MiningNewsWire Podcast, where Head of Corporate Development and Director Alex Horsley discussed the company’s flagship Duquesne West gold project, recent achievements and near-term plans and goals (https://ibn.fm/BXCZO).

“People are always talking about location, location, location, and we happen to be in the Southern Abitibi of Quebec, in the heart of this district surrounded by 15 gold producing mines – an area that’s produced 200 million ounces of gold.” Horsley said, explaining that the Duquesne West gold project has a historical resource of 727,000 ounces of gold, “and what’s really crucial is that it’s high grade, with an average of 5.42 grams of gold per ton and a robust average thickness of 5.7 meters.”

Emperor Metals’ mission is to grow the Duquesne West resource as quickly, cost efficiently and strategically as possible. “Our resource was based on a 3.0-gram cutoff grade in a 2.5-meter thickness, and it was also based on $960 gold back when that historical report was done in 2011. What is really exciting is that, since 2011, gold is up 150%,” Horsley said.

The Emperor Metals executive also talked about the company’s successful drilling campaign at Duquesne West last year, when it achieved high-grade intercepts, and what he described as the biggest achievement of 2023 – identifying a conceptual open-pit model. The new open pit model shows gold potential on top of the existing high-grade underground gold resource, granting Emperor Metals the opportunity for multiple production scenarios.

Emperor Metals aims to continue this momentum with a fully funded Phase II drilling program, which began in May 2024 with the goal of enhancing the open-pit model. The program consists of 8,000 meters drilling/assaying and 8,000 meters of historical core assaying.

The company will use these results to generate an updated mineral resources estimate that has the potential to be transformative. The updated estimate will be created by a third party and is expected to be completed by Q1 2025. “In that updated MRE, we are planning to significantly lower the cutoff grades,” Horsley added. “We’re quite excited to have this unique asset in the most prolific and productive gold mining camp in Canada. It’s a special opportunity.”

Horsley also talked about the extensive experience of the company’s team in the mining sector, led by CEO John Florek. “We have an exceptional technical team, and as gold juniors go, the project we have is high grade, robust average thickness, and significant historical resource with significant potential for resource expansion. We’re very excited to move this project along,” he said.

In addition to the updated mineral resource estimate, the company’s plans for the near future include an expanded drilling program in 2025 and building of investor awareness. “We’re positioned better than, in my opinion, 95% other gold juniors because of the location, the grade, the thickness and the exploration upside led by one of the best exploration teams in the business,” Horsley added.

• Electronic monitoring (“EM”) technology is becoming increasingly popular among European governments as a means of advancing the social inclusion of criminal offenders through probationary services, reducing recidivism
• EM technology innovator SuperCom Ltd. has secured a growing number of probationary services clients in Europe as well as in the United States, adding over $11 million in orders since the beginning of the year
• SuperCom announced another $2.6 million in European EM orders this month

The Confederation of European Probation, an organization that promotes pan-European cooperation for the social inclusion of offenders through a variety of community sanctions, reports high-tech electronic monitoring services are booming throughout Europe as a security solution benefitting both the offenders and the community.

“Probation services in almost all Western European countries are experimenting with it, while probation services in most Eastern European countries are considering pilots,” the CEP states (https://ibn.fm/FMnzv).

Israel-headquartered identification security solutions developer SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB) is marketing its electronic monitoring (“EM”) platform as a cutting-edge solution that is ahead of the curve in what is still a niche market. Its client list in Europe and the United States is continuing to grow.

“We are delighted to continue strengthening our collaboration with European governments,” SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi stated earlier this month in announcing a new $2.6 million in orders from the old-world continent (https://ibn.fm/8JvoC). “It highlights our leadership in the electronic monitoring sector and our ability to consistently meet our clients’ evolving needs. We remain committed to ensuring successful project execution and fostering lasting partnerships with governments worldwide.”

SuperCom’s expansion of contracts utilizing its end-to-end GPS tracking, communication, monitoring technologies, and real-time tracking and reporting software platform includes over $11 million dollars in new orders reported since the beginning of the year from European clients on a recurring revenue basis.

“These repeat orders underscore our customers’ confidence in SuperCom’s cutting-edge technology and our unwavering commitment to improving public safety,” Trabelsi stated.

The company’s technology was specifically designed to meet the needs of correctional facilities and law enforcement agencies seeking alternatives to incarceration, but its potential application is much wider, such as the potential for tracking Alzheimer’s patients prone to wander or vulnerable patients with no in-residence caregiver.

Reaching even further, the European Union funded a pilot project in 2022 for the use of remote EM systems on processing vessels for bluefin tuna to help combat illegal bluefin tuna markets in Europe (https://ibn.fm/ILK5o). Still, SuperCom sees the strength of the company’s position in concentrating on justice systems’ EM needs.

“We focus at one market at a time because we believe the margins are the best and the penetration is the strongest when you do it that way,” Trabelsi said during an interview with the Your Advantage Play podcast in July (https://ibn.fm/RvIhs). “So we focus on this market — there’s only 10 players, we have a great track record, (and) we’re able to win more and more projects rather than spread it out thin to many different industries with the same technology.”

“So once we’ve reached significant size … then we can start splashing over into other industries that will use the exact same technology,” he said. “Our technology, which of course is something that is doing well tracking offenders, we hope will be considered to do well also to track (vulnerable) patients, and animals, and children.”

• Lexaria, a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, is reporting on its eight-week body weight results from its WEIGHT-A24-1 ongoing animal study
• The study was made up of three main groups of formulations: DehydraTECH-processed CBD; semaglutide (including “Rybelsus(R)”) and liraglutide
• The DehydraTECH-CBD and DehydraTECH-liraglutide both outperformed Rybelsus(R), which was a surprise outcome. DehydraTECH-liraglutide posted a weight reduction of 4.74%, the most significant in the study
• For Lexaria, this continued outperformance of DehydraTECH-liraglutide is of particular interest, particularly since many third-party studies have shown semaglutide to be more than twice as effective as liraglutide in promoting weight loss
• As the study progresses, Lexaria’s management is optimistic that it will realize positive and ground-breaking results that will demonstrate the superiority and potential of its technology

Lexaria (NASDAQ: LEXX), a global innovator in drug delivery platforms, is reporting on its eight-week body weight results from its WEIGHT-A24-1 ongoing animal study. This study explores Lexaria’s patented technology, DehydraTECH(TM), and its potential in addressing diabetes and weight loss. More importantly, it looks to establish whether DehdyraTECH processing results in higher brain absorption than non-DehydraTECH arms, with a focus on glucagon-like peptide 1 (“GLP-1”) drugs, liraglutide and semaglutide (https://ibn.fm/xSZTO).

This part of the study was comprised of eight different formulation arms. Arms A through D used different DehydraTECH-CBD compositions, with arms E and F using DehydratTECH-processed Rybelsus, and arms G and H using pure GLP-1 drugs (semaglutide and liraglutide, respectively) processed with DehydraTECH. At the eight-week mark, the liraglutide arm H posted a weight reduction of 4.74%, the most significant weight reduction from the entire study. Equally interesting, two of the DehydraTECH-CBD compositions also led to weight reductions and also outperformed both Rybelsus(R) and pure semaglutide (https://ibn.fm/xSZTO).

For Lexaria, this continued outperformance of DehydraTECH-liraglutide and DehydraTECH-CBD is of particular interest. Lexaria fully owns DehydraTECH-CBD, while liraglutide has become available in generic version. This presents a massive opportunity for Lexaria and its goal of offering a potential treatment option for diabetes and weight loss.

The global diabetes drugs market in 2023 was valued at $79.925 billion. By 2032, it is projected to hit $153.98 billion in value, representing a CAGR of 7% over the forecast period (2024-2032) (https://ibn.fm/8baKb). Lexaria looks to carve out a decent market share from this growth with its DehydraTECH technology, primarily by offering a viable oral treatment alternative to what is currently in the market. Its DehydraTECH technology has proven itself many times to improve drug delivery, and it has also done so in its ongoing studies. The company looks to build on this, ultimately offering an oral alternative to diabetes treatment.

As the study progresses, Lexaria’s management is optimistic that it will realize positive and ground-breaking results that will demonstrate the superiority and potential of its technology. They are also confident that results from the study will inch the company closer to carving out a market share in the diabetes and obesity treatment market, even as it continues to create value for its shareholders.
