Charlie’s Holdings and nzo Execute Strategic Partnership to Collaborate on Closed Device Pod System

Broadens Pachamama Brand Reach into New International Markets

COSTA MESA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2019 / Charlie's Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK:CHUC) ("Charlie's" or the "Company), an industry leader in both the premium, nicotine-only, e-cigarette space and the hemp-derived, CBD wellness space, announced today a strategic partnership with nzo, a visionary brand in the vaping industry, that will provide its closed device pod system.

The design of the nzo device is inspired by the lightweight feel and smooth lines of Italian supercars: sleek in look, light and tactile in the hand. There are no buttons or switches – the aim being simplicity. The system is particularly aimed at adult smokers who are seeking a way to quit harmful cigarette smoking but feel vaping has been too complicated to-date.

Charlie's will be supplying its Pachamama line of liquid concentrates- Apple Tobacco, Strawberry Watermelon and Fuji Apple flavors- to be incorporated into nzo's closed device pods. nzo will be manufacturing the liquids for the pods in its dedicated UK factory. In order to meet the high demand of the end consumer, the initial launch will be for 150,000 units.

nzo plans to launch these new and exciting vape flavor pods in the U.K. by mid-January, and it will be launched at The Vaper Expo at the London Olympia held from February 15 to 18, 2020. nzo will leverage its existing distribution and its partner networks, aiming to have products on the shelves of at least 4,000 retail outlets by mid-2020. nzo will be sold across five continents with a particular focus on the Middle East. The plan is to then launch into the European Union, where they will be looking to extend their European distribution networks by targeting France, Germany and Italy.

Brandon Stump, Charlie's Holdings Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are thrilled to have executed on this strategic partnership with nzo as it enables us to penetrate new markets internationally and does not cannabilize any of our existing sales. nzo is a great fit for us with their stylish, compact and very easy- to-use pod system. We share in the vision of offering consumers a less complicated, portable, no-liquid-spill device with a long battery life, as an alternative to quit smoking cigarettes."

Irshad Kara of nzo, commented, "While we have been seeking to forge additional collaborations with e-liquid providers to enhance our easy-to-use portable vape pod system, we were extremely impressed by the feedback of the great taste of Pachamama's flavors in our device. We are confident our existing sales channels of convenience stores and vape stores, as well as our distribution network will welcome the new flavors. We look forward to the launch in January and the expansion throughout 2020 to additional countries."

alphaDIRECT Advisors to Host Capstone’s Chief Revenue Officer, Jim Crouse, on December 17, 2019, as Part of The alphaDIRECT Virtual Conference Series

VAN NUYS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2019 / Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (NASDAQ:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, will be participating in the alphaDIRECT Virtual Conference Series on Tuesday, December 17, 2019, at 12:00 PM ET.

alphaDIRECT Advisors is an investor intelligence firm that creates and implements digital content and programs to help investors better understand a company's key drivers, including industry dynamics, technology, strategy, outlook and risks.

Jim Crouse, Capstone's Chief Revenue Officer, will present an overview of Capstone and the renewable future followed by a short question and answer session. The presentation will be webcast live and available for replay by visiting the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at www.capstoneturbine.com and under the alphaDIRECT Investor Center page at www.alphadirectadvisors.com.

"Climate change, energy efficiency and renewable energy have become part of our daily lives, as energy, energy conservation and creation, and its environmental impacts are important topics both locally and globally. We are going to see more and more governmental policy and regulations drive towards renewable and decarbonization of all energy consumption," said Jim Crouse, Capstone's Chief Revenue Officer. "At Capstone we are seeing an exponential shift of attitudes around the world – for example, a recent UK study showed that 84% of people support or strongly support the use of renewable energy to provide electricity, fuel and heat. As a result, governments are setting targets or goals for carbon reduction," added Mr. Crouse.

"We are pleased to host Capstone in our alphaDIRECT Virtual Conference Series. As recently discussed in our latest Management Series, a combination of increased corporate focus on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) principals, government policies, regulations and better economics are creating strong tailwinds for the broader renewable energy sectors. This plays very well into Capstone's core product offerings, in our view, as they are able to effectively and economically supply power while reducing both NOx and CO2 for its customers," said Mr. Severson, Founding Partner of alphaDIRECT Advisors.

Operation Underground Railroad Starts 12 Days of Nuggets Charity Event

12 Days of Nuggets, a charitable event hosted by Operation Underground Railroad and PPC Entourage, has gone live as of Monday, Dec 9. The goal of this 12-day campaign is to create mass awareness about the evils of child trafficking.

United States – December 12, 2019

Operation Underground Railroad is pleased to announce the 12 Days of Nuggets charitable initiative, which it is hosting in partnership with PPC Entourage. This event will conclude on Friday, Dec 20 and is intended to raise public awareness about bringing an end to human trafficking, especially child trafficking.

Popularly known as O.U.R, Operation Underground Railroad is an organization dedicated to fighting child trafficking. Through its relentless efforts, it has rescued more than 3,000 children under severe distress in the U.S. as well as several other countries. To help the rescued children put their terrifying pasts behind them, O.U.R also provides emotional recovery and physical rehabilitation programs.

To make more people aware of O.U.R and its activities, PPC Entourage will create small, shareable pieces of content. Several content pieces will be released each day to drive traffic to the Days of Nuggets site. Some of the most renowned industry thought leaders and influencers have already joined hands to share their best tips, insights, and proven strategies in nugget-sized videos. These videos will help Amazon sellers make a significant, positive impact on their business.

“We are looking for contributors to provide either valuable content or financial sponsorships to help us raise $1 million for Operation Underground Railroad. As a leader/influencer in your niche, we invite you to participate in this noble cause,” said Mike Zagare, the President and co-founder of PPC Entourage. “A 3-5-minute video is all we need, but I would respectfully request that it be your best golden nugget. You’ll help Amazon sellers grow, provide valuable content, and, most of all, help save lives.”

Visitors to the Days of Nuggets website are encouraged to donate and share the page with their Amazon colleagues, friends and family members. The financial goal of this charity campaign is to raise $1 million for Operation Underground Railroad. All the proceeds of this campaign will go to O.U.R. or Days of Nuggets awareness campaigns on Facebook and YouTube.

Soricimed Provides Update on its Peptide-Drug Conjugate Program

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2019 / Soricimed Biopharma Inc. ("Soricimed" or the "Company"), a privately-held, science-based company today provided an update on its peptide-drug conjugate (PDC) program.

PDCs, which consist of a cytotoxic drug payload bound to a targeting peptide, have the potential to selectively target receptors that are overexpressed by cancerous cells. Thus, PDCs enable delivery of highly cytotoxic payloads directly to cancerous tumors while minimizing the risk of damage to healthy cells and tissues as is commonly seen with current chemotherapy treatments. PDCs have several additional advantages over other drug conjugate approaches, such as those that use antibodies: they are much smaller; easier and less costly to manufacture; and have better tumor penetration, lower systemic exposure, and less risk of liver damage.

Soricimed is developing the next generation of PDCs for cancer treatment by linking cytotoxic payloads to its proprietary TRPV6-targeting peptides.

Soricimed evaluated SBI-1301, a conjugate of an extremely potent cytotoxic drug, as part of an earlier collaboration with Eisai Inc., a Japanese pharmaceutical company. The results of this collaboration were compelling. Complete tumor regression was demonstrated in a mouse model of human prostate cancer with just three intravenous treatments of SBI-1301 over nine days. At the highest doses tested, there was no evidence of toxicity in the animals, and following 60 days of observation, the tumors did not regrow.

Soricimed has also completed a maximum tolerated dose study in an ongoing collaboration with a European-based biotech company interested in exploring the targeted delivery of their proprietary toxin to cancer cells. Animal efficacy testing in a human prostate cancer mouse model will be completed over the next several months.

"With the continued progress of our PDC program, we intend to utilize the data to advance partnering discussions with larger pharma and biotech companies," commented Robert Bruce, CEO, Soricimed Biopharma. "With the potential to more precisely deliver various cytotoxins with different mechanisms of action, while sparing healthy tissue, we are looking forward to initiating additional collaborations."

About Soricimed Biopharma Inc.: Soricimed is a privately-held, science-based company focused on the development and commercialization of applications originally derived from its unique and proprietary family of peptides found in the paralytic venom of the northern short-tailed shrew. Product development is ongoing for three distinct verticals: as targeted drug candidates for the treatment of solid-tumor cancers; as an environmentally responsible pesticide for the agriculture and aquaculture sectors; and as novel active ingredients in skin-care products for the cosmetic industry. For more information visit www.soricimed.com.

About Soricimed – Oncology: Soricimed's oncology vertical focuses on targeted drug candidates for the treatment of solid-tumor cancers. Soricimed's lead drug candidate, SOR-C13, has been shown to be safe and well tolerated, with indications of efficacy in a Phase 1 human clinical trial. A follow on Phase 1b Investigator Initiatied Trial ("IIT") in late-stage cancer is currently underway. SOR-C13 has been granted orphan drug status for the treatment of pancreatic and ovarian cancers by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In addition, a portfolio of targeted Peptide-drug Conjugates ("PDCs") is in late pre-clinical development at this time.

Prestige Of Yacht Ownership- Saveene Fractional Yacht Ownership

WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2019 / People engage in a lot of activities for enjoyment, and yachting is one of the most fun-filled activities. Owning a luxury yacht comes with some prestige – sort of a status symbol. This is mainly because yachts cost millions to purchase and maintain. And with such a high cost, only the rich can afford luxury yachts.

However, gone are the days when only the super-rich can own a yacht. You can also enjoy the prestige that comes with yacht ownership by subscribing to a fractional yacht ownership. Here, you partly own the boat with other individuals, meaning that all expenses to do with ownership is shared between the co-owners. This will immensely help you in keeping yacht expenses down. Best of all no one but yourself will know you don't own the yacht outright.

Here are more reasons why owning a yacht is considered a status symbol:

A luxury yacht is not your ‘everyday' boat. The size of a yacht ranges anywhere from 40ft to 328ft in length. This provides a lot of room for enjoyment – you have enough fun while sailing on the waters.

Yachts come with luxury cabins that can accommodate as many guests as possible, sometimes up to twelve or more. Your friends, family members, or business colleagues can join the fun, and space wouldn't be a problem. They will have enough accommodations to make their trip quite relaxing and so much fun.

How about a mini bar or galley on the sea? Most yachts come with both indoor and outdoor bar or entertainment area , and professional bartenders ready to mix and serve you your favorite whisky. Get on the deck in the evenings and ‘wet your whistle' with your co-travelers while staring out at the ocean. Talk about class!

Finely designed dining rooms are typically found in luxury yachts. Your guests would surely have an exciting dining experience. More so, an outdoor dining can also be set to avail your guests to enjoy the beauty of the sunset.

What of sun pad or hot tub on the sun deck? Yes, of course. Most luxury yachts have this as well. This way, you can have a soothing bath outdoors, while enjoying the sun. Your guests will definitely love this. In the case of Saveene Fractional Yacht Ownership they offer the ability to use the club where numerous facilities can be found such as pools, hot tubs, gym, billiards, and sauna just to name a few. All to the benefits of its fractional yacht owners.

Many individuals would love to own a yacht, so as to enjoy all these amenities and also the classy-effect that comes with it. However, one major hinderance is the price and upkeep expenses. This shouldn't be an issue anymore, as www.saveene.com offers fractional yacht ownership for individuals that want to enjoy the prestige of yacht ownership. What's more? – You walk on in style and walk off in style, without bothering about cleaning or maintenance hassles, as the management company takes care of everything. Imagine this case scenario: You agree to meet your family or business partner at the yacht club for a few drinks while you wait for the rest of the family to join you. In the meantime your children, wife or grandkids wish to go sunbathing or to play by the pool. Now that the whole family has arrived you are ready to enjoy your cruise on your private yacht to the Bahamas. The Captain and crew wait for you by your private yacht. The stewardess serves you a few drinks prior to departure. You sail away enjoy your time with your family or business associates and when your trip is done you simply walk off in class and the crew prepares for the clean up and maintenance. Yes it's that simple with Saveene!

Massive Sulphides Intersected in First Blue Moon Drill Hole of 2019

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2019 / Blue Moon Zinc Corp. (TSX.V:MOON)(OTC PINK:BMOOF) ("Blue Moon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its exploration partner, Platina Resources Limited ("Platina"), reports drilling at the Blue Moon Project intersected visible massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralisation in the first drill hole of this year's program at the Blue Moon zinc-copper-gold project in California. The current drilling program is designed to determine the extent of the high-grade mineralisation cut in hole BMZ78 in 2018.

Hole BMZ79 intersected 40 metres of mineralisation from 410 metres (core length not true thickness). The intercept in BMZ79 is located approximately 30 metres from the mineralized intercept in BMZ78 (press release January 18, 2019). The location of the BMZ79 and photographs of the mineralization in the hole are shown in Figures 1 to 4. Hole BMZ80, the second hole in the program, is currently underway.

Platina is currently paying 100% of the drill program costs and can earn an initial 50% interest in the Blue Moon project by incurring $3 million including the drilling of a minimum 10,000 metres and payment to the Company of $250,000. Platina can increase its interests to 70% by incurring an additional $3.75 million including the completion of a pre-feasibility study and payment to the Company of $500,000.

("ILI" or the "Company") (TSXV:ILI)(OTCQB:ARXRF) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired a 100% interest in a package of two additional strategic claim groups known as the "Dixie 3" and "Ben Lake" properties from Pistol Bay Mining Inc., in the Red Lake Mining District. The Dixie 3 property is approximately 18 kilometers east of the eastern boundary of Great Bear Resources Corp.'s (GBR-TSX:V) Dixie Project, and approximately 22 kilometers north-east of the active drilling by BTU Metals Corp.

The Dixie 3 and Ben Lake properties are contiguous and comprises 178 single-cell mining claims and 3 boundary cell mining claims, covering approximately 3,680 hectares. Both properties have multiple known VMS mineral occurrences, electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic geophysical anomalies, and favorable alteration patterns.

In 2008, Tribute Minerals carried out a Titan-24 DCIP and MT survey over the Dixie 3 area covering approximately one-sixth of the property. The results of the DCIP were filed for assessment work and demonstrated two target areas at depths of between 300 and 600 metres.

The Ben Lake property covers prospective alteration in rock samples favorable for VMS mineralization with a portion of the property and the contiguous "Eastern Vision" property covered by a high resolution VTEM airborne electromagnetic survey, flown in 2017.

The Company is acquiring a 100% interest in the claims comprising the Dixie 3 and Ben Lake properties from an arms-length party through payments of Cdn $100,000 cash over a 6-month period and the issuance of 2,000,000 shares. The underlying vendor retains a .5 % Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") on Dixie 3 which can be bought for $400,000 at any time and a 1.5% NSR on Ben Lake, half of which can be bought back for $400,000 at any time.

Mr. Kelly Malcolm, P.Geo, is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 who has examined and described the geological information available from public sources related to the property and is responsible for reviewing and approving the technical contents of this press release.
