Company to Host Investor Conference Call on Tuesday, June 14 to Discuss Growth Outlook

HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2016 / Takung Art Co., Ltd. (OTCQB: TKAT), an online platform for acquiring shared ownership units in Asian fine art, jewelry and precious gems (collectively, “artwork”), today said it processed transactions totaling US$449.73 million in the 21-day trading month of May 2016, a 317 percent increase on total transactions of US$107.73 million recorded in the 19-day trading month of May 2015.

Total transaction value for the first five months of 2016 reached US$1.63 billion, a 329 percent increase on the total transactions of $380.16 million recorded in the comparable year-ago period.

The company added three new listings in May, bringing the total number of artworks trading on its platform to 110.

Since December 2013, Takung has provided a way for art collectors and investors to buy and sell ownership units in valuable paintings, calligraphies, jewelry and precious gems. Takung’s unique approach is to divide selected artwork into equal ownership units based on its appraised value. Traders can then buy and sell these units online via a client app available for download from the company’s commercial website. Currently, almost all traders on the platform are located in mainland China.

Takung generates revenue from listing fees ranging from 22.5 to 48 percent of the artwork’s offering price, as well as recurring revenue from trading commissions and nominal management fees. Takung may also receive annual fees from offering agents authorized to list artwork on the company’s platform.

There are two types of listings on the Takung site – an individual artwork or a portfolio of several pieces. Most of the listed artworks trade actively and have shown significant appreciation following their initial sale and introduction on the site. Each listing – with its initial offering price and current price and value – can be found on Takung’s corporate website at http://www.takungart.com/portfolio/listed-artwork.

“Last year our trading platform generated US$2.33 billion in total transactions,” said Takung CEO Di Xiao, “and we are now on pace to approach or exceed that number in the first half of 2016 alone. Clearly, our ongoing marketing efforts have been successful in attracting the participation of more and more enthusiastic art investors in Takung’s shared ownership model.”

The company also announced that Mr. Xiao and Takung CFO Leslie Chow will host a conference call on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 at 9:00am Eastern Daylight time. The purpose of the call will be to discuss the company’s rapid growth and timetable for achieving future milestones, and for management to take questions from shareholders and investors relating to these topics.

Call-in instructions for accessing the conference will be announced shortly.

About Content Checked Holdings, Inc.

Content Checked (www.contentchecked.com) has created a revolutionary marketplace for people with dietary restrictions and the organizations who cater to them by creating and introducing the ContentChecked, MigraineChecked and SugarChecked smartphone applications. ContentChecked and MigraineChecked are the first applications with comprehensive and accurate content information, and in-depth allergen and migraine definitions for over 70% of conventional U.S. food products.

Each app gives consumers the ability to scan a product’s bar code and determine if it is safe for consumption based on their allergy settings. The apps will recommend a suitable alternative if a product does contain one or more of a user’s allergens. This enables the applications to meet the needs of millions of people in the U.S. In the U.S. alone, there are more than 15 million people who suffer from food allergies and 38 million people who suffer from migraines and chronic headaches. The food allergy and intolerances market has been valued at approximately US$13 billion in 2015. As a result, Content Checked has created a pivotal way for food manufacturers and producers to showcase their products to consumers who are actively seeking them at the point of purchase.

Content Checked has created a robust database of allergens, migraine triggers and food ingredients that directly correlate with food allergies, intolerances, migraines and chronic headaches. There are currently hundreds of thousands of products in its database, updated regularly. All applications serve as easy shopping tools for consumers to decipher often misleading food labels and receive recommendations for healthier alternative products as they shop in real time. Content Checked’s mission is to offer fast, reliable and efficient mobile apps that help consumers make more informed purchasing decisions and live healthier lives in accordance to their dietary preferences.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2016 / American CuMo Mining Corporation (TSXV: MLY) (OTC Pink: MLYCF) (CuMoCo or the Company) is pleased to announce that it and its subsidiary, Idaho CuMo Mining Corporation (Idaho CuMo), have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ping Shan Resource Holdings Ltd. (PS Resources), a subsidiary of a leading Hong Kong based commodities group, and MCC8 Group Company Limited (MCC8, and collectively with PS Resources, the Chinese Partners), a China-based leader in Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) and management for non-ferrous metallurgical industry projects, with respect to the development of CuMoCo’s CuMo Project, a molybdenum-copper-silver deposit located in Idaho, USA.

The parties entered the MOU to formalize their understanding and intentions with respect to the development of the CuMo Project. Specifically, the Chinese Partners are to arrange a minimum of US$700 million in project financing for the development and construction of the CuMo Project in order to receive an 80 percent of net proceeds interest in the joint venture to be formed between Idaho CuMo and the Chinese Partners in respect of the CuMo Project (Joint Venture). Subsequent funding of the Joint Venture is to be provided on a pro rata basis. At the appropriate time, Idaho CuMo intends to seek mining equipment equity loans to cover their 20 percent of the contributions to the Joint Venture.

Upon formation of the Joint Venture, the CuMo Project would continue to be owned by Idaho CuMo and managed through the Joint Venture by a committee (Management Committee) consisting of two committee members from Idaho CuMo and two from the Chinese Partners with appropriate provisions to resolve deadlocks. The parties contemplate that the Management Committee would be charged with the objective of reaching a production decision for the CuMo Project and commissioning an independent Definitive Feasibility Study, including all environmental studies, permits and bonding arrangements for the Project.

The parties are to negotiate a binding, definitive project financing agreement (Definitive Agreement). The terms of the Definitive Agreement would be subject to various regulatory, government, Board of Director and shareholder approvals. The terms of the MOU provide that once Idaho CuMo has obtained US$25 million in new capital (Initial Funding), the Chinese Partners would be granted exclusivity for one year to perform due diligence, obtain all required approvals and secure funding to complete the proposed transaction (Exclusivity Period).

Strategic Venture Fund of Hong Kong facilitated the MOU between CuMoCo and the Chinese Partners, subsequent to signing a US$50 million consulting agreement with the Company.

CuMoCo’s President and CEO Shaun Dykes stated, “We are extremely pleased to see that our CuMo Project has been met with genuine interest from one of Asia’s largest and most prestigious companies in the non-ferrous metallurgical industry, and a company that has a declared focus on modern environmental solutions. MCC8 not only has an impressive financial background, the company has also demonstrated its outstanding capability for sustainable green solutions in its many recent projects. CuMoCo looks forward to the CuMo Project being developed to the benefit of its many stakeholders, including Boise County and the State of Idaho.”

Asimos Will Present a $1,000 Scholarship to a College Student

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2016 / Mike Asimos, a successful wine importer and exporter, is committed to finding ways to give back to the local community. This desire has inspired him to set up a scholarship program that will give a college student a sum of $1,000.

As Asimos has explained in posts on his Facebook page, he knows firsthand what it is like to start from nothing and grow a large and profitable company.

“This is why I’m offering a yearly $1,000 scholarship to hopefully make a small improvement in a college student’s life. I am blessed to have the ability to offer this scholarship, and I hope my small contribution can make a positive impact in a future entrepreneur’s life.”

In order to apply for the scholarship, Asimos said students do need to meet certain requirements. For example, applicants must currently be enrolled in college and have a GPA of 2.5 or higher, and they must submit a valid name, contact information and university name. All applications must be submitted by December 21, 2016.

Once the applications have been submitted, Asimos said a selection committee will review them and choose one winner to receive the $1,000 prize.

“He or she will be notified via the contact information submitted via our application form along with full details on how to claim their scholarship,” Asimos said.
