BURLINGTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2017 / Green Swan Capital Corp. (TSXV: GSW) has entered into an agreement to further expand its cobalt portfolio by purchasing “Chilton Cobalt”, in the Laurentian Region of Quebec. Cobalt recently reached a five year high, touching USD$21.50 a pound after being at $9.85 in February, 2016. Green Swan targeted cobalt for these growth opportunities and is now being rewarded for being an early mover in this space.

This latest addition to its portfolio, Chilton Cobalt, consists of nine claims totaling 497 hectares (almost five square kilometers). As part of the purchase, the arm’s length vendor will deliver to Green Swan all available historic data for the property, including a recently completed geological report (non NI 43-101 compliant).

The historic work on Chilton Cobalt identified four distinct cobalt-copper-nickel showings. Grab samples from one of the showings returned values up to 2,500 parts per million (ppm) cobalt, 3,300 ppm copper and 12,300 ppm nickel. Green Swan cannot verify the accuracy or thoroughness of historic work until further research and analysis is completed.

Green Swan will begin its historic data review and analysis as soon as possible to enable an exploration program in the summer of 2017.

“This will be a very busy year for Green Swan’s field team as we build shareholder value,” said Peter M. Clausi, Green Swan’s CEO. “We intend to conduct a second round of exploration at our Sudbury cobalt-gold asset, to explore our Dryden Cobalt asset, and to begin work on Chilton Cobalt.”

Green Swan continues to build its impressive portfolio of assets in mining-friendly jurisdictions. In Sudbury, previous surface grab sampling returned up to 4.5% cobalt and 44 g/t gold (see news release August 15, 2016) and Green Swan ran a successful diamond drill program there in November 2017, with cobalt and gold values in every sample. Green Swan will be presenting at PDAC Convention in Toronto on Sunday, March 5, 2017 at the Ontario Pavilion to discuss this unique property.

Dryden Cobalt is located roughly one kilometer southwest of Green Swan’s main Sudbury cobalt-gold asset, also in the highly productive Sudbury Basin. This property was acquired by staking, based on Green Swan’s interpretation of the Nipissing Diabase and the Huronian sediments (Hough Lake Group – Mississsagi Formation) which cross this property. Green Swan intends to conduct surface exploration at this location in the summer of 2017.

As announced last week, Green Swan purchased 33 units in 4 claims in Otto Township, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario (see news release February 21, 2017). Those claims are on Special Status with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines due to a prior owner’s inability to move the project through the permitting process. Green Swan believes it can resolve the permitting issues, which would allow Green Swan to begin its exploration on these claims in late 2017.

In consideration of the purchase of Chilton Cobalt, Green Swan will issue to the vendor 150,000 common shares at a deemed issue price of seven cents, and 150,000 common shares purchase warrants having a two year term and a 10 cent exercise price. The vendor will also receive a 2 per cent Net Smelter Returns Royalty with a buyout at Green Swan’s option on half of the NSR for one million dollars. The transaction is subject to stock exchange approval.

The technical contents of this release were approved by Dr. Tom E. McCandless, P.Geo., an independent director for Green Swan and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The property has not been the subject of a National Instrument 43-101 report and Dr. McCandless has not verified the technical data disclosed in this release.

Green Swan granted a total of 500,000 stock options to consultants and directors, effective February 24, 2017, exercisable at $0.075 cents each and expiring February 23, 2022.

TORONTO, CANADA / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2017 / Data Deposit Box Inc. (“Data Deposit Box”) (CSE: DDB, OTCQB: DDBXF, Frankfurt: 2DD), a global provider of cloud backup and recovery technology, is proud to announce a full global release of a diverse protection from Ransomware for the SMB industry.

Data Deposit Box offers partners a complete cloud backup and recovery solution via software and local appliance, which provides numerous Ransomware recovery options. Data Deposit Box technology provides Ransomware recovery for granular file, folder, virtual system, databases and complete system restores for servers and workstations in one complete SMB-focused solution.

“From bare-metal and full system recovery (workstations and servers), to file versioning, Point-in-Time recovery, SQL Database, Exchange, and VMWARE generation recovery, we have our clients covered” says Tim Jewell, CEO of Data Deposit Box. “There are image-based only solutions that will allow for Ransomware recovery but the options do not provide a complete granular recovery service. Some of them are even susceptible of having the actual backup files become infected, as they are simple image files maintained in a Windows shared folder. This is not a secure way to protect the company’s only real option for recovery. Data Deposit Box offers a customized solution to this problem, all configurable by the MSP for the SMB all in one simple offering,” states Jewell.

“Once we took a look at how easily our existing clients recover from Ransomware using Data Deposit Box we knew we were offering a complete recovery option for the SMB”, says Troy Cheeseman, President of Data Deposit Box. “We are offering a comprehensive recovery solution that corrects an incredibly complex problem”, concludes Cheeseman.

To educate and detail the options available to partners, Data Deposit Box has published a new web informational landing page and a new ‘Ransomware E-Document’ that outlines how the SMB can protect themselves from Ransomware. The ‘Ransomware E-document’ details how Data Deposit Box technology offers a comprehensive—yet simple and easy—way for clients to recover infected files, folders, databases, entire servers and workstations. Starting March 9th, Data Deposit Box will offer bi-weekly Ransomware webinars that will review the company’s recovery options and provide a deep dive into the technical recovery details. Data Deposit Box will be presenting the entire solution at partner events and trade shows throughout 2017.

About Data Deposit Box

Data Deposit Box, a pioneer of cloud backup and recovery technology, has set a new industry standard by providing the SMB market with the same level of security and protection that is available to large enterprises. Data Deposit Box patented backup technology, known for its Exabyte scalability, advanced data reduction capabilities and ease-of-use, has won prestigious industry awards and has been featured in many key industry publications.

Actinium Pharmaceuticals Has a Long Collaborative History with Sloan Kettering

SANTA MONICA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2017 / Online Media Group Inc. covers Actinium Pharmaceuticals (NYSE MKT: ATNM).

The strong collaboration between Actinium Pharmaceuticals and the prestigious Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) was on full display during a recent presentation at a satellite symposium to the 2017 BMT Tandem Meetings (http://www.onclive.com/conference-coverage/bmt-tandem-2017/novel-pretransplant-conditioning-regimens-seek-to-reduce-relapse-in-blood-cancers).

In a talk focused on novel therapeutic strategies to prevent relapse, the most important cause of treatment failure after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients with hematologic malignancies, Sergio Giralt, MD, Chief of the Adult Bone Marrow Transplantation at Sloan Kettering, highlighted Actinium Pharmaceuticals’ Iomab-B.

The renowned physician was optimistic about the potential of adding targeted agents to the pretransplant conditioning regimen to increase the antitumor effect. Of these options, Dr. Giralt focused extensively on Actinium’s lead product candidate, Iomab-B, a radiolabeled antibody-drug conjugate targeted against CD45; and rituximab, an antibody directed against CD20.

Actinium’s Iomab-B is a therapy designed to help prepare patients for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Actinium is currently conducting a single pivotal 150-patient, multicenter Phase 3 clinical study of Iomab-B in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), age 55 and older.

Internationally recognized, Dr. Giralt is board certified in internal medicine with subspecialties in medical oncology and hematology. He is an active member of the American Medical Association, American College of Physicians, American Society of Hematology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, North American Society of Blood and Bone Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT), International Society of Hematotherapy and Graft Engineering, International Society of Haematology, and the Gerontological Society of America.

Actinium, a company founded on technology developed by MSK, continues to work closely with the world-renowned cancer center, a relationship that has only been enhanced since the company in-licensed Iomab-B. Sergio Giralt, MD, along with other leading physicians at Sloan Kettering, currently serves on the Advisory Board of Actinium Pharmaceuticals.

Working Closely with Casale in Sales Discussions to Ammonia Chemical Plants Debt Conversions Have Improved Company Balance Sheet

SANTA ANA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2017 / QuantumSphere, Inc. (OTC PINK: QSIM), a developer and manufacturer of advanced catalyst materials designed to increase process efficiencies and production output in commercial-scale chemical plants, today issued a business and corporate update to its shareholders.

QuantumSphere continues to operate its pilot manufacturing facility in Santa Ana, CA and although the sales process has taken longer than expected, the Company is still active with its partner, Casale, S.A., in pursuing an ammonia plant operator as a customer. The Company is optimistic that its ammonia FeNIX™ product can add significant value to ammonia plant operators and that an install at a live operating plant may occur in 2017. After 14 years of research and development, more than $35 million of invested capital and having worked closely with Casale for the past six years, QuantumSphere believes all of the hard work will result in commercialization; it’s just a matter of when.

2016 was a milestone year for QuantumSphere, as it was issued a key ammonia patent in March 2016 and executed a 10-year commercialization agreement with Casale also in March 2016. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a key patent related to its advanced FeNIX nanocatalyst accelerator technology. The patent covers claims around the application of iron nanocatalysts, applied as a coating onto existing commercial ammonia catalysts, for increased catalytic activity and production efficiency in ammonia synthesis. As of today, QuantumSphere has 10 issued patents.

The Company entered into a multi-year Commercialization Partnership Agreement with Swiss-based Casale S.A. (Casale), pursuant to which the parties agreed to the terms of commercialization of the Company’s QSI-Nano iron catalysts for ammonia synthesis. Casale is restricted from entering into any agreement with any third party for any purpose relating to the use of nano-sized particle based catalysts in ammonia synthesis. Further, during the term, Casale has exclusive rights to commercially market, co-brand and sell the FeNIX product into the ammonia market globally, with the exception of China. The Company is now in the initial commercialization phase with its partner Casale in addressing the market opportunity within the $100 billion annual ammonia market. Per its commercialization agreement, Casale is responsible for the sales and marketing efforts of FeNIX to its existing and prospective customers.

QuantumSphere is currently in sales discussions with multiple ammonia plant operators. A particular focus is on India due to their compelling need and the size of the market (India is the #2 world producer of ammonia after China). “QuantumSphere has generated considerable excitement in India this past year, where the increased output and energy savings that its FeNIX product can provide are particularly critical,” says Bill Collins, Executive Vice President of GRMC, QSI’s representative company in India. “QSI was a featured presenter at India’s most prestigious fertilizer conference and has caught the attention of the “who’s who” of the Indian chemical industry.”

The recent stock activity in QuantumSphere, which has witnessed a dramatic decline in price and significant increase in volume, is a result of debt converting to equity. While it caused a major drop in stock price, the debt conversions have improved the company’s balance sheet. The Company may experience further conversions of debt to equity in the near future. Investors are encouraged to carefully review QuantumSphere’s latest 10-Q filing for details. In this regard, the Company is exploring opportunities related to additional financings, licensing of its technology, and a possible sale of assets pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. The Company has had preliminary discussions with multiple parties that have expressed an interest in additional debt financing or acquiring company assets.

Earnings Reviewed

For the 16-week first quarter ended January 15, 2017, Whole Foods reported that total sales increased 1.9% to a record $4.92 billion compared to total sales of $4.83 billion in Q1 FY16. The Company’s comparable store sales decreased 2.4% on a y-o-y basis. Whole Foods revenue numbers came in below analysts’ consensus of $4.98 billion.

For Q1 FY17, Whole Foods gross margin declined 43 basis points to 33.6% driven by increases in occupancy costs and cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales. Excluding the charge related to a separation agreement, SG&A increased 12 basis points to 28.6% of sales.

During Q1 FY17, Whole Foods earned $95 million, or $0.30 per share, compared to $157 million, or $0.47 per share, in the year-ago same period. Adjusted for one-time items, Whole Foods reported earnings of $123 million, or $0.39 per share, compared to $157 million, or $0.46 per share, in Q1 FY16. The Company’s reported quarter results included a $34 million charge related to store and facility closures, and a charge of $13 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, associated with a separation agreement. Whole Foods stated that it expects to incur an additional charge in Q2 FY17 of approximately $30 million, or 0.06 per share, in relation to store and facility closures. The Company’s earnings numbers came in in-line with market expectations.

During Q1 FY17, Whole Foods’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) were $360 million, or 7.3% of sales. EBITDA margin was 7.6% and return on invested capital was 12%.

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet

During Q1 FY17, the Company produced $284 million in cash flow from operations, invested $245 million in capital expenditures, and returned $43 million in quarterly dividends to shareholders. The Company ended the quarter with $1.1 billion of total debt and $1.2 billion of total available capital.

Growth and Development

In Q1 FY17, Whole Foods opened 13 stores, including two relocations. On February 08th, 2017 in the second quarter, the Company has opened three stores, including one relocation, and it expects to open three additional stores including one relocation. The Company also closed one commissary kitchen and will be closing nine stores and its last two remaining commissary kitchens during the quarter. The Company recently terminated two leases and signed four new leases and currently has 93 stores in development.

In the conference call, Whole Foods announced that it will continue to grow, but no longer have a goal of 1,200-plus stores. The Company stated that it remains optimistic about the future growth potential for its 365 format, but want to see how these next rounds of stores perform before getting more aggressive. Whole Foods noted that for long-term success, it has evaluated its portfolio of stores, and have made the difficult, but prudent decision to close nine stores in Q2 FY17. As of November 02, 2016, the Company operated 464 stores in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Fiscal Year 2017 Outlook

For FY17, Whole Foods is forecasting sales growth of 1.5% or above and is anticipating Comps to decline at most 2.5%. The Company now envisions earnings per share of $1.33 or greater for FY17.

The Company plans to reduce its cost structure in FY17 but expects these savings to be more than offset by investments in marketing, value, and technology as well as higher occupancy, depreciation, and other costs. In addition, the Company is estimating additional costs of approximately $14 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, related to its recent decision to accelerate the implementation of category management, the majority of which it expects to incur in the fourth quarter. Therefore, the Company now expects a decline in operating margin of approximately up to 85 basis points for the year, with greater declines of up to 115 basis points in the second and fourth quarters.
