• Ontario, Canada-based Tartisan Nickel Corp. is developing a number of mining exploration projects that will provide resources for the electric vehicle and hybrid automobile battery market
• Tartisan recently announced the acquisition of additional land to increase the size of its flagship project in Ontario’s Kenora Mining Division to 4,273 hectares (more than 10,500 acres)
• Tartisan owns two other exploration projects in Ontario and one in central Peru
• The company is dedicated to responsible social and environmental stewardship as nickel mining’s chain of custody comes under a growing degree of public and investor scrutiny

In spite of the challenges that naturally accompany any foundational shift in a major industry, such as the introduction of EV technology to world transportation, it’s clear that the still developing EV industry is here to stay. Problems will be addressed, infrastructure will be created, and the material and technological demands of the sector will continue to grow.

Canadian mineral and battery metals explorer Tartisan Nickel (CSE: TN) (OTCQB: TTSRF) is confident of this long-term growth. Market forecasts anticipate EV sales jumping from 18 percent of global passenger vehicle sales last year to 45 percent by the end of the decade, and 73 percent by 2040, according to the Los Angeles Times (https://ibn.fm/yROn1).

The company announced last month that it is expanding the size of its flagship Kenbridge Nickel Project exploration site in northwestern Ontario, Canada’s Kenora Mining Division, near the town of Kenora.

The Kenbridge Nickel Deposit hosts a Nickel-Copper Resource with a 622-meter shaft, and the expanded project sits on 4,273 hectares (more than 10,500 acres) that includes 93 contiguous patents and 153 single cell mining claims 100 percent owned by Tartisan Nickel Corp. through wholly owned subsidiaries.

A prior baseline study and a new baseline study collecting aquatic and terrestrial data this year, along with species at risk surveys in compliance with Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, will be used to develop baseline environmental reports to ensure provincial and federal regulations are met for the approval and permitting processes dealing with advanced metals exploration and eventual mine development.

“In addition to excellent field skills in all seasons and environments, (biologist Lindsay Spenceley  leading the baseline study field work) has considerable project management skills,” Tartisan CEO Mark Appleby stated in the Kenbridge Nickel expansion announcement (https://ibn.fm/297lQ). “Aspen Biological can leverage its network of experienced resource professionals to pull together, as needed, multi-disciplinary teams to deliver upon project requirements and timelines in a cost- effective manner.”

Tartisan has additional exploration projects in Ontario — the 5,440-acre (2201-hectare) Turtle Pond Nickel Copper Project and 2,850-acre (1,153-hectare) Sill Lake Lead Silver Project — and the Don Pancho Manganese Silver Zinc Project in central Peru.

“Our high-grade Kenbridge Nickel Project is essential for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles, and is positioned for substantial growth,” a recent SmallCapPower feature on the company states (https://ibn.fm/vxRxm). “And Tartisan’s strategic focus is not just on mining, but on advancing nickel deposits responsibly. We’re aligned with Treaty 3 First Nations ensuring our operations respect both the land and its original stewards.”

Tartisan’s responsible practices position it as a visionary leader in the market as the environmental and social impacts of nickel mining increasingly raise concerns among investors and the general public. The European Union will require battery “passports” for all EVs by 2027, showing verified data regarding battery metals’ raw materials and their chain of custody from mine to market. Volvo announced earlier this month that such concerns led it to introduce its own battery passport with the necessary data (https://ibn.fm/PrBoL).

• Humans are biologically hardwired to crave high-calorie foods at night. Those high-sugar, high-fat options are understood to be unhealthy, and they can also directly impair sleep quality
• NGTF provides sleep-friendly options for nighttime snacking, with snacks formulated by sleep and nutrition experts specifically for snacking in the hours before bed
• Nightfood cookies contain prebiotic fiber for gut health, inositol for anxiety reduction and improved sleep, gluten-free oat flour for easy digestion, and vitamin B6 for melatonin synthesis, mood and sleep regulation
• Other key ingredients include allulose and monk fruit for great taste without blood sugar spikes plus slow-digesting micellar casein protein for satiety and blood sugar support

Humans are biologically hardwired to crave high-calorie, sweet, and high-fat foods in the evening. At night, appetite peaks, cravings spike, and willpower drops.

This perfect storm results in over 90% of Americans snacking regularly at night, with the average adult snacking before bed 3.9 nights per week.

The result is over one billion snacks consumed in the US before bed every single week, with an estimated consumer spend of over $60 billion annually.

These hardwired cravings are an outdated survival mechanism to store fuel before the long nighttime fast and uncertainties of the coming day to ensure survival. So, it makes sense that the most popular nighttime snacks are the most calorie dense: cookies, chips, candy, and ice cream.  Unfortunately, these are not only generally unhealthy, but they can directly disrupt and impair sleep quality.

Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) provides sleep-friendly choices through products developed by sleep and nutrition experts, specifically formulated for nighttime cravings and the nighttime snack occasion. Formulated with better sleep-in mind, Nightfood is revolutionizing how people snack at night, allowing them to satisfy their cravings while minimizing guilt and nutritionally supporting better sleep.

NGTF’s cookies contain prebiotic fiber, which supports gut health by nourishing beneficial gut bacteria, leading to improved digestion and immune function. Inositol, another key ingredient, has been linked to reduced anxiety and improved sleep quality, helping consumers unwind before bed. Gluten-free oat flour is higher in melatonin and tryptophan than traditional flours and is lower glycemic. Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in serotonin and melatonin production, essential neurotransmitters involved in regulating mood and sleep-wake cycles.

Other key ingredients include Allulose and monk fruit – natural sweeteners that deliver great taste without causing blood sugar spikes that can kill sleep quality. The cookies also contain slow-digesting micellar casein protein that provides a sustained release of amino acids to support muscle repair and satiety throughout the night.

The company recently reported early signs of success in their recent launch of direct-to-consumer sales of Nightfood sleep-friendly cookies, announcing over $50,000 in unaudited net revenue during the 30 days from April 21 through May 20, 2024.

Nightfood Holdings is pioneering a new category of “sleep-friendly nighttime snacking,” which Management believes has the potential to reach billions of dollars in consumer spend.

• Astiva Health Inc. is expanding services, offering healthcare solutions precisely targeted at growing senior demographic
• “NPJ Aging” reports that U.S. is undergoing a demographic and health transformation that will have profound implications for its healthcare system and society
• Astiva’s activity centers are designed to be a hub for seniors, providing a space for health education, wellness activities and community building

As a record number of people become seniors and enter the season of their lives when quality health care becomes increasingly important, Astiva Health is expanding its services and offering healthcare solutions precisely targeted at this growing demographic. A fast-growing Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (“MAPD”) health plan, Astiva Health is dedicated to reshaping personalized and comprehensive healthcare. Symbolic of that commitment is the company’s grand opening of its newest facility, the Los Angeles-Koreatown Activity Center (https://ibn.fm/7JMA8).

“The United States is undergoing a demographic and health transformation that will have profound implications for its healthcare system and society,” a recent “NPG Aging” article stated (https://ibn.fm/pQKWt). “The population is aging at an unprecedented rate, with the baby boomer generation, defined as those born between 1946 and 1964, reaching retirement age and living longer than ever before.

“According to the U.S. Census Bureau, by 2030, all baby boomers will be older than 65, leading to about one in every five residents being retirement age,” the article continued. “This shift poses a dual challenge for the healthcare system: how to meet the increasing and complex healthcare needs of the elderly, and how to ensure that the system is prepared and equipped to provide quality and equitable care for this growing segment of the population.”

As part of the solution to these challenges, Astiva Health operates a growing number of activity centers. The centers are designed to be a hub for seniors, providing a space for health education, wellness activities and community building. Each center reflects Astiva Health’s dedication to delivering culturally tailored healthcare and providing services that cater to the unique needs of the communities Astiva serves.

The company opened its Los Angeles-Koreatown Activity Center in December; it also has centers in San Diego, Westminster and Monterery Park.

“We are thrilled to open the doors of the Los Angeles-Koreatown Activity Center,” said Astiva Health CEO Dr. Tri T. Nguyen. “It’s more than just a place — it’s a testament to our mission of empowering seniors to lead active, fulfilling lives.”

These activity centers are only one example of how Astiva Health is actively addressing the growing needs for older individuals, particularly those in ethnic communities. The company is focused on integrating cultural respect into its healthcare model and establishing a new standard for responsive and respectful care. With a mission to elevate the well-being of individuals, Astiva Health specializes in innovative health plans tailored to meet the unique requirements of its members.

Astiva Health prioritizes a culturally responsive approach to healthcare, offering multilingual solutions for customer service, marketing materials and educational resources. The company’s dedication to serving the underserved population is not only fulfilling a critical societal need but also positioning it to tap into a market segment with significant growth potential. By addressing the diverse healthcare needs of its members, Astiva Health aims to create lasting relationships and contribute to the overall well-being of the communities it serves.

• Super-apps have become popular in many parts of the world as time-saving, app download-reducing platforms known as all-in-one “everything-apps”
• Social platform and streaming service company Bebuzee is now introducing the Super-app concept to North America with the rollout of its connectivity technology
• Bebuzee’s platform combines a variety of shopping, news, streaming, travel, ticketing, and payment technologies, all under one umbrella
• The company is attracting revenue through advertising and premium subscriptions and listing options

In the modern, globally connected digital era, social platform and streaming service company Bebuzee (OTC: BBUZ) is taking Internet connectivity to a level as yet unheard of in the United States through the rollout of the company’s time-saving communications technology.

Bebuzee’s platform takes its inspiration from multi-service applications that have become popular in Asian nations, where an enormous part of the world’s population embraces an all-in-one approach to mobile and web connectivity known as super-app (also stylized as “super app” or “superapp”) technology on an all-encompassing, self-contained commerce and communication online platform (https://ibn.fm/G77f2).

Bebuzee’s platform includes video streaming, photo sharing, a messaging service, a wide variety of news services from national sources down to the local level, real estate information, a search engine for finding contractors, shopping services and payment options, travel services and entertainment ticketing, all through a seamless single gateway (https://ibn.fm/NKvnN).

“The Bebuzee Super App is not just an app; it’s a revolution,” CEO Joe Onyero stated in an April announcement by the company (https://ibn.fm/Z7ad7). “We’re about to change the game by offering a comprehensive digital ecosystem that caters to every user’s needs, all within a single platform.”

By combining various applications under one umbrella, Bebuzee’s super-app helps users simplify daily tasks and reduces the need to download numerous applications to accomplish tasks through a computer platform.

Similar products have become popular not only in Asia, but in Africa and parts of Latin America as well. But thus far the super-app has not found a home in the United States or Europe, and the Miami-based company expects to take advantage of the lack of competition to build super-app success in North America and Europe.

Market growth will be driven by increasingly rapid lifestyles. The company anticipates monetizing its products through advertising revenue, premium account subscriptions and premium listing options.

During remote lifestyle conditions made necessary by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and a lack of effective medical options initially, Bebuzee’s user base surged by 78 percent with over 42 million new users, according to the company (https://ibn.fm/Jz7cv).

“We are on the brink of launching some of the most incredible technologies that have never been mentioned publicly before,” Onyero stated last year (https://ibn.fm/PNmKe). “These technologies will redefine the industry and set a new standard for digital platforms.”

• Hawk Point Media recently interviewed SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi to discuss the company’s remarkable 2023 performance and future growth
• SuperCom’s extensive investment in R&D, over $40 million since 2014, further solidifies its position as a sector trailblazer
• SuperCom plans to retain its position and continue providing practical, effective, and scalable monitoring solutions for tracking offenders, benefiting all stakeholders

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global leader in secured solutions for the e-government, IoT, and cybersecurity sectors, offers a comprehensive suite of field-proven RFID and GPS tracking technologies. SuperCom’s services span various industries, including security, public safety, law enforcement, domestic violence prevention, and electronic monitoring of offenders. Exploring SuperCom’s success, Hawk Point Media recently interviewed SuperCom President and CEO Ordan Trabelsi to discuss the company’s remarkable 2023 performance and future growth drivers (https://ibn.fm/CvJ4B).

Despite being under-the-radar among investors, SuperCom is entering its 37th year of business and is highly recognized in the professional world. According to Trabelsi, the company’s focus has always been on innovation and providing top-tier traditional and digital identity monitoring solutions. Trabelsi believes that the company’s world-class solutions portfolio has the potential to reshape the identification, monitoring, and public safety landscape. This potential is reflected in the recent record revenues and EBITDA.

As the company continues to demonstrate consistent performance, market cap valuation could be more in line with the company’s operational success, similar to the period between 2012 and 2014 when the stock price appreciated by over 2,000%.

SuperCom’s 2023 results highlight its impressive operating performance. The company posted 5-year-record revenues of $26.6 million, a 51% increase year-over-year, and an EBITDA of $4.8 million, a 2350% increase year-over-year. Gross profit surged 60% year-over-year to $10.2 million, bolstered by a strong Q4 performance. The company has also started 2024 strongly, securing new contracts in California and Canada, and receiving $5 million in new orders from European governments. This strategy of winning more contracts while streamlining operations and demonstrating improved performance could help close valuation gaps.

Significant project wins have also driven SuperCom’s success. In 2022, the company secured a $33 million project with Romania’s Ministry of Interior, further establishing its reputation for executing large-scale national projects. Additionally, SuperCom launched a $3.6 million national electronic monitoring (“EM”) project in Finland and a $4.25 million contract for adult re-entry services in Northern California. Technological advancements, such as the PureProtect solution for domestic violence monitoring and the all-in-one ankle-bracelet solution PureOne, have been well-received and significantly expand the company’s addressable market, supporting expansion into the U.S. market.

SuperCom’s products and service platforms offer several advantages over competitors. For instance, the battery of the Pure Tag bracelet can last over a year without charging, while competitors’ battery usually requires daily charging. Additionally, the company’s location tracking technology is more accurate and works even underground and within buildings. These products are ergonomic, lightweight, and cost-effective, providing a humane-centered alternative to incarceration and improving rehabilitation outcomes.

The company’s solutions can enhance the protection of vulnerable populations, such as victims of domestic violence, through rapid response mechanisms, secure communication channels, and real-time monitoring. SuperCom’s extensive investment in R&D, over $40 million since 2014, on top of the long track record of success of its R&D teams, has resulted in over 100 patents, solidifying its position as a sector trailblazer. These technological advantages have led to a contract win rate of over 65% in National Government Tenders in Europe. As the company expands its footprint globally, it aims to achieve similar success in new markets like the U.S. and Canada.

Entering Q2, SuperCom remains committed to revolutionizing government sectors through superior technology and solutions. This approach has made the company a leader in offender tracking and monitoring solutions. By staying ahead of technological advancements, SuperCom plans to retain its position and continue providing practical, effective, and scalable monitoring solutions for tracking offenders, benefiting all stakeholders involved.

The company’s strategic innovations, top-notch technology, and focus on public safety have propelled it to record growth and established it as a leader in its field. As it continues to expand globally, SuperCom is well-positioned to further enhance its impact and drive continued success.

• Clene’s CEO Rob Etherington and CFO Morgan Brown presented highlights and updates on the company’s pipeline – as well as answering questions from the audience
• Clene has conducted several clinical trials to test the efficacy of CNM-Au8(R), focusing on the diseases amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis
• CNM-Au8 has shown a favorable safety profile, with over 650 collective years of subject exposure without any major safety signals attributed to CNM-Au8
• Negotiations are underway to extend the cash runway into 2025, including potential licensing deals and the exercise of warrants that could bring in up to $130 million in additional capital for the company

Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial health and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) and multiple sclerosis (“MS”), recently participated in the 72nd Emerging Growth Conference. EmergingGrowth.com is a leading independent small cap media portal that identifies companies with strong management teams, innovative products, focused strategy and overall potential for long-term growth. Its audience includes potentially tens of thousands of Individual and Institutional investors, as well as Investment advisors and analysts. Clene’s CEO Rob Etherington and CFO Morgan Brown presented highlights and updates on the company’s pipeline – as well as answering questions from the audience.

The Emerging Growth Conference, moderated by award-winning journalist Ana Berry, is considered an effective way for public companies to engage with the investment community. Companies present new products, services, and make other announcements significant to their industry. During the event, Clene’s CEO presented the company’s groundbreaking asset, CNM-Au8, a suspension of gold nanocrystals designed to improve mitochondrial function and reduce oxidative stress. This novel treatment utilizes catalytic activity to enhance neuronal energy utilization, which is critical for maintaining brain function.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Parkinson’s, and MS, are among the most challenging medical issues. These conditions involve the progressive degeneration of neurons. In ALS, degeneration of the motor neurons leads to compromised muscular functions, including breathing, swallowing, and motor skills. Despite various treatments, a definitive cure remains elusive. Clene is tackling this challenge with an innovative approach to neuroprotection.

Clene has conducted several clinical trials to test the efficacy of CNM-Au8, focusing on diseases like ALS and MS, and the results have been promising:

• RESCUE-ALS: A Phase 2 study involving 45 subjects showed significant improvements in survival rates and in delaying disease progression.
• HEALEY-ALS Platform Trial: This major study demonstrated a 70-90% risk reduction in death among participants, marking a significant breakthrough in ALS treatment.
• VISIONARY-MS Study: This study focused on MS patients with optic neuritis. Results indicated significant improvements in vision, cognition, and fine and gross motor skills, with continued benefits over time.
• Compassionate Use Program: Over 256 patients have participated in these programs, with many participants showing extended survival and improved quality of life compared to historical controls.

CNM-Au8 has shown a favorable safety profile, with over 650 collective years of subject exposure without any major safety signals. The most common side effects are mild to moderate, primarily gastrointestinal issues, and headaches.

Clene is preparing for a potential accelerated approval from the FDA, based on the promising data from its clinical trials. The company is also exploring partnerships and non-dilutive funding opportunities to support further development and commercialization of CNM-Au8.

According to Brown, as of the first quarter, Clene holds approximately $28 million in cash, with an average burn rate of $7 million per quarter. Negotiations are underway to extend the cash runway into 2025, including potential licensing deals and the exercise of warrants that could bring in up to $130 million in additional capital.

• A recent Bell2Bell interview with HealthLynked Chairman and CEO, Dr. Michael Dent, revealed the company’s technological solution to the common problems in the healthcare industry
• Florida-based HealthLynked Corp. is dedicated to improving the overall ability of patients and medical providers to partner in improving health outcomes by pioneering a tech platform that improves how medical records are kept and shared
• HealthLynked also has a rewards program that incentivizes preventive care and helps lower overall costs of healthcare.  It also sells a wide variety of medical supplies at discount
• HealthLynked recently introduced an AI-powered chatbot to improve patients’ ability to find healthcare providers wherever they may be across the country
• The company’s CEO provided $1 million in financing this month in a show of support for its mission and plans for growth

Healthcare technology solution pioneer HealthLynked (OTCQB: HLYK) is utilizing artificial intelligence and years of industry experience to offer a sophisticated, cloud-based network for managing and archiving health care records, tailoring healthcare solutions to individual needs, facilitating medical research, and streamlining caregiver access, reducing wait times and potential exposure to other illnesses.

“We’ve all probably been to the doctor where he’s asking about records from another physician that he doesn’t have, or he’s asking us about information that we don’t have access to anymore. And that’s a problem,” HealthLynked Board Chairman and CEO, Dr. Michael Dent. said during an interview earlier this month on the Bell2Bell podcast (https://ibn.fm/AkSkB). “For a physician to make an accurate diagnosis, they need all the information they can get on a patient and it’s all important. That’s something that was a big part of our mission — to really provide a more efficient exchange of health information, putting the patient at the center of that.”

That information sharing capability, among the many other features of the HealthLynked app, may also become valuable when patients are traveling, especially outside the country, and encounter situations in which they need access to their records. Likewise, emergency situations may stand a better chance of a healthful resolution if first responders have access to an individual’s important medical information at a time when the patient may not be able to communicate it.

“We’re looking at working with EMS to where we can provide access to medical records in those emergency situations, and those can be life-saving,” Dent said.

As an added benefit, HealthLynked also helps make overall healthcare more affordable to patients by offering a rewards points program through the company’s platform, as well as by offering approximately 15,000 name brand medical supplies that patients or providers can buy at a discount, he said.

As the platform grows in its ability to provide concierge-type services to patients and doctors, technology plays a big part. The company introduced a new AI-powered chatbot last month that is designed to help patients find healthcare providers wherever they may be across the country. “By integrating AI into our platform, we can provide more efficient and timely support to our users, ensuring they receive the care they need without unnecessary delays,” Dent stated in a news release (https://ibn.fm/GkdiU).

At a personal level, the CEO further demonstrated his commitment to the company’s success by providing $1 million in financing this month to help fund expansion of HealthLynked’s services and hasten the company’s growth. “Providing funding to HealthLynked is a testament to my belief in the transformative power of our services and our mission to create a more efficient healthcare system for the benefit of everyone,” Dent stated (https://ibn.fm/tAgTx).
