NuggMD to Again Offer Cannabis Support Line, the Too-High Hotline, on 4/20

NuggMD

NuggMD, the nation's leading medical marijuana telemedicine platform, is once again helping accidental cannabis over-indulgers find support this 4/20 with its Too-High Hotline. The hotline (323-518-2728), first established last April, is a resource for consumers who, for whatever reason—cough, cough—want a friendly voice who will converse with them, calm them down, or just listen. States have seen an explosion in much-needed harm- and anxiety-reduction measures, thanks to the reduced stigma around cannabis use. Still, many Americans resist seeking help for highly emotional psychedelic experiences because cannabis is still illegal at the federal level. This results in unguided use by consumers who are unprepared to handle unusual mental effects. It is why emergency-room visits for the overconsumption of cannabis usually spike on April 20. “To be clear: Yes, this is a real service. Anyone who consumes, or consumes too much, this April 20 can call us and talk to us about whatever they want to. No judgments,” said Alex Milligan, co-founder and CMO of NuggMD. He continued: “There is also a serious side to the 4/20 holiday that I hope gets more attention this year. The cannabis movement acknowledges the need for harm-reduction measures as the substance continues to gain mainstream acceptance. Use of the plant affects different people in different ways, and the truth is that some of those effects are negative or unpleasant. So, beyond setting up the Too-High Hotline every April, we are committed to consumer empowerment and education every day throughout the year.” NuggMD’s Too-High Hotline is available to everyone in the United States this 4/20 to offer support during or after their cannabis experience. NuggMD is also educating patients about harm reduction and support options through a dedicated landing page, nationwide email notifications to its network of more than a million patients, and additional ongoing campaigns focused on harm reduction and safe consumption. To learn more about NuggMD’s Too High Hotline, please visit https://www.nuggmd.com/support. About NuggMD NuggMD is the nation's leading medical marijuana technology platform, serving patients in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. They've connected over 1,300,000 patients face-to-face with their new medical marijuana doctors via their state-of-the-art telemedicine platform.

Bluepeak to Accelerate Its Over $100 Million Investment in Fiber Optic Network Expansion Into Oklahoma and Texas

Bluepeak

Bluepeak is accelerating its more than $100 million investment to expand its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network to over ten new markets in Oklahoma and Texas starting this year. “We’re thrilled to continue building out our fiber-to-the-home network, expanding into new communities and bringing cutting-edge technology and an incredible value proposition to more customers in Oklahoma, Texas and elsewhere,” said Bluepeak CEO Rich Fish. The expansion means Bluepeak’s fiber network will soon be available to more than 100,000 new homes and businesses in new markets across Oklahoma and Texas. Denison, Texas, was the company’s most recent fiber expansion market announced in late 2023, and the new investment by Bluepeak will result in more than ten additional communities in the region benefiting from greater choice among their internet options starting in 2024 and 2025. Since 2021, Bluepeak has been dramatically improving broadband options by bringing fast, reliable, affordable fiber internet to residents of Oklahoma, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and Texas. The latest network expansion investment is part of Bluepeak’s larger plans to invest more than $200 million to continue building out its network in its currently served markets, reaching more than 200,000 new locations with its fiber network in 2024 and 2025. With Bluepeak service, customers get fiber-fast speeds, equal upload and download speeds and whole-home WiFi. Bluepeak service features all-in pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with a minimum service tier of 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps). Homes can get up to 5 Gbps and businesses 10 Gbps and beyond. Each fiber internet speed package includes Wi-Fi powered by eero, along with the added value of eero Secure, which protects devices from online threats, ads and allows for customized content filtering. Bluepeak's fiber network provides reliable connectivity and the bandwidth to connect more devices for internet, streaming, gaming and more. Ultimately, Bluepeak service increases broadband competition for internet consumers by providing a fast, reliable, affordable choice for internet in communities where options have traditionally been very limited. According to the Federal Trade Commission, competition “benefits consumers by keeping prices low and the quality and choice of goods and services high.” In addition, a 2020 report by Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond on “Bringing Broadband to Rural America” determined that broadband access and adoption is linked to increased job and population growth, higher rates of new business formation, higher home values, and lower unemployment rates. Those interested in more information on Bluepeak service availability and details on the construction process can sign up for updates by entering their service address at mybluepeak.com. About Bluepeak Bluepeak is a new kind of internet provider bringing fast, reliable, affordable internet to places that have needed better options for too long.

Steppe Gold enters into definitive deal to acquire Boroo Gold

Steppe Gold Ltd

Steppe Gold Chief Financial Officer Jeremy South joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a significant development in the company's growth trajectory. Steppe Gold has initiated a transformative share exchange agreement aimed at acquiring all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Boroo Gold, a strategic move poised to establish Steppe Gold as Mongolia's premier gold producer. In tandem with this acquisition, Steppe Gold has also finalized separate definitive share purchase agreements, paving the way for the sale of the Tres Cruces Oxide Project to Boroo Singapore for approximately 12 million Canadian dollars, to be disbursed over the course of the next 18 months. South emphasized that this strategic maneuver not only accelerates Steppe Gold's journey towards becoming a multi-asset mining group focused on Mongolia but also fortifies its financial position with robust cash flow, buoyed by the recent upsurge in gold prices. With this transaction nearing completion, Steppe Gold anticipates closing out 2024 with a run rate of approximately 90,000 ounces in gold production, with projections soaring to over 150,000 ounces by 2026 on a pro forma basis. Furthermore, South disclosed to Proactive that Boroo Gold anticipates a significant uptick in gold production from 2024 to 2031, with projected average annual production hovering around 60,000 ounces in 2024, 2025, and 2026. This augurs well for Steppe Gold's strategic objectives, positioning the company for sustained growth and value creation in the years to come. As Steppe Gold charts its course towards becoming a dominant force in Mongolia's mining landscape, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering value to its shareholders while driving sustainable growth through strategic acquisitions and operational excellence. Stay tuned for further updates as Steppe Gold continues to execute its ambitious expansion plans and solidify its position as a leading player in the gold mining industry.

TNR Gold chairman Kirill Klip discusses asset valuations, the gold price and project developments

TNR Gold Corp

TNR Gold Corp executive chairman Kirill Klip discusses the company's strategic moves and upcoming projects with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Klip highlighted the purchase of over 6 million shares under its normal course issuer bid program, underscoring the management's belief that the current share price does not reflect the true value of the company's assets. He referenced a report from Fundamental Research Corp., which set a price target of 22 cents per share. Additionally, Klip noted significant progress in TNR Gold Corp's projects, including the Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska, which benefits from rising gold prices and promising drill results. The project's inferred gold reserves stand at over 700,000 ounces, with potential for resource expansion through further drilling. Klip also discussed how Ganfeng Lithium is advancing its Mariana Lithium Project, scheduled to start production in 2024, marking a significant step as TNR Gold Corp transitions to a green energy metals royalty company. This project will provide the company's first cash flow from NSR royalty payments without requiring capital contributions. Furthermore, Kirill discussed the Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina, highlighting meetings with the new Argentine president and potential project implications under new economic policies. The project's expected outputs could significantly increase TNR Gold Corp's revenue streams from NSR royalties. Contact Details v +1 604-688-8158 na-editorial@proactiveinvestors.com

US Gold Corp's Edward Karr says gold's rally is a game changer for junior miners

US Gold Corp

US Gold Corp (NASDAQ:USAU) founder Edward Karr discusses the current gold market and company prospects with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Karr highlighted the gold price reaching new all-time highs at approximately $2,400 per ounce, which he sees as a positive trend for the industry, particularly beneficial for junior mining companies. Despite recent fluctuations, the industry remains highly profitable at these levels. Karr shared insights from the European Gold Forum in Zurich, noting a decrease in investor attendance compared to previous years, which he interprets as indicative of a "stealth bull market." Karr expressed optimism for future gold prices, emphasizing strong fundamentals despite potential headwinds from high interest rates and a robust US dollar. He believes that gold's resilience in the current geopolitical and economic climate suggests further upward potential. Karr also pointed to increased central bank and Asian market purchases as signs of sustained demand. Discussing US Gold Corp specifically, Karr detailed the promising economics of its flagship CK Gold Project in Wyoming, which is close to production with anticipated permits. He cited a sensitivity analysis indicating significant valuation increases at current gold prices. The company’s projects in Nevada and Idaho also stand to benefit greatly from the current gold market, potentially leading to enhanced company valuations and increased mergers and acquisitions activity in the sector.

Bango says positive momentum from 2023 has continued into 2024

Bango PLC

Bango PLC (AIM:BGO, OTCQX:BGOPF) CEO Paul Larbey takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's 2023 performance, highlighting revenue growth of 62% to $46.1 million and a 29% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $6.4 million, slightly above the range provided in a January trading update, partly due to FX reclassification. A notable achievement was the 77% growth in recurring revenue for the Digital Vending Machine (DVM). This improvement has provided a solid foundation for future expansion, Larbey said. The full integration of the company's Docomo Digital acquisition promises significant future cash generation and profitability. The acquisition has also realised £21 million in annualised cost synergies, with additional savings identified. DVM, identified as a growth engine, has seen an expansion, with nine new contracts signed, increasing the total to 18 by year-end, and an additional four in the first quarter of 2024. This growth has propelled the ARR from £5 million at the end of 2022 to £11 million by the end of Q1 2024. Larbey said Bango's market position has been strengthened in North America, with the company now holding contracts with three of the top five operators, and it is exploring opportunities beyond telecommunications, venturing into financial services. The company maintains a positive outlook for 2024, with analyst forecasts suggesting a 16% revenue growth, a target already surpassed in Q1 with a 20% growth.
