Glance Technologies Announces RSU Plan and Grants

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2019 / Glance Technologies Inc. (CSE:GET)(OTCQB:GLNNF)(FKT:GJT) ("Glance" or the "Company") one of Canada's leading mobile payments and customer loyalty platforms, today announced the implementation of a restricted share unit (RSU) award plan (the "RSU Plan").

Subject to ratification by disinterested shareholders at the Company's next Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), the Company has initially awarded 1,126,000 RSUs to employees of the Company, of which 865,000 vest over 36 months, in equal quarterly installments and 261,000 vest subject to meeting certain conditions or performance milestones.

Pursuant to the terms of the RSU Plan, the number of RSUs issuable under the RSU Plan, together with the number of common shares issuable under options that are outstanding under the Company's Stock Option Plan, will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares as at the date of a grant under the RSU Plan or the Stock Option Plan, as the case may be.

"This combination of salary and equity is designed to incentivize employees," said Glance's Interim CEO Jonathan Hoyles. "Allocating RSUs to Glance employees fosters an ownership mentality at the Company and is also consistent with our efforts to spend wisely, conserve cash and maintain a lean culture. We understand the importance of continually re-enforcing a cost-conscious culture, particularly in a business incurring net losses."

Hoyles has agreed to receive one-fifth of his current remuneration in the form of RSUs and the Board has also agreed to take 50 per cent of its current board compensation in the form of ongoing grants of RSUs. Similar packages have been and will continue to be offered to future employees with the goal to weight individual compensations to RSUs and stock options rather than cash.

In a similar arrangement, Paola Ashton, VP Business and Client Development, has agreed to receive one-fifth of her compensation in the form of stock of the Company.

"These plans are very common in startup environments where it takes time to get to cash flow positive and companies such as Glance look for a compensation strategy that builds a long-term and high level of commitment," explained Hoyles. "RSUs can effectively engage employees in the longer term and create a sense of ownership."

"Moreover, it lessens the up-front financial burden of paying out competitive market salaries, and it attracts employees who are committed to working harder in order to ensure their financial well-being and the success of the company."

A description of the RSU Plan and the awards made under such plan will be set out in the Management Information Circular of the Company, which will be sent to shareholders and filed on SEDAR in connection with the AGM.

American Battery Metals Corporation Provides its Outlook on the Planned GM and LG Electric Vehicle Plant

INCLINE VILLAGE, NV / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2019 / American Battery Metals Corporation (OTCQB:ABML) (the "Company"), a premier battery metal exploration and development and battery recycling company based in Nevada, today commented on the planned joint venture between General Motors and LG Chem.

The American auto manufacturer and South Korean chemical and battery manufacturing company will invest $2.3 billion USD to build an electric vehicle battery cell plant in Ohio, creating one of the world's largest battery manufacturing facilities. The plant is projected to have a 30 gigawatt capacity.

"This is a significant announcement between two global companies," said American Battery Metals Corporation CEO Doug Cole. He continued, "When two giants like GM and LG invest this kind of money to create a battery manufacturing plant, it's a clear indicator that the explosive projections for the adoption of EV are accurate. And it is particularly noteworthy that they will build this factory in the United States."

American Battery Metals Corporation head of business development and government affairs, Doug Nickle, said "This announcement will not go unnoticed by investors in the lithium and battery metals markets. Depressed lithium prices, due to the "oversupply myth," will likely see a turnaround in 2020 as the world realizes that the massive demand projections for EV are real and will require much more EV battery grade lithium than is currently available."

As the EV and energy storage markets continue to experience seismic growth, new sources of battery metals need to be developed. American Battery Metals Corporation is uniquely positioned to address the existing supply chain shortages through the company's exploration and mining and battery recycling divisions. "We are aggressively working to develop both our primary sources of battery materials through environmentally-sustainable mining, and we are "re-mining" lithium ion batteries through our next-gen recycling process," said CEO Doug Cole.

ABMC will discuss the economic and national security implications of the electric revolution as it meets with American lawmakers and personnel from multiple government agencies this week in Washington, D.C.

American Battery Metals Corporation

American Battery Metals Corporation (www.batterymetals.com) (OTCQB:ABML) is a premier battery metal exploration and development company based in Nevada. The company is focused on its Railroad Valley battery metal project in Nevada with the goal of becoming a substantial domestic supplier of battery metals to the increasing electric vehicles and battery storage markets in America.

Viveve Announces Clearance of Next Generation 2.0 System in South Korea

Viveve 2.0 System and consumable treatment tips now commercially available in U.S., European Union, China, and Korea

ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2019 / Viveve Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVE), a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health, today announced registration clearance by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for the company's next generation Viveve 2.0 cryogen-cooled monopolar radiofrequency (CMRF) system for use in general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis as well as for the treatment of vaginal laxity.

"We are pleased to have received our most recent clearance of the Viveve 2.0 System and its consumable treatment tips in South Korea, one of the largest and most influential global markets for women's aesthetic and intimate health procedures. JOYMG Co., Ltd., Viveve's exclusive distribution partner in South Korea, serves an established and growing base of physician customers who demand the latest advances in medical technology. We look forward to continuing our support of JOYMG in their efforts to expand awareness and adoption of Viveve's 2.0 System as a clinically proven safe and effective treatment to improve vaginal laxity," said Scott Durbin, Viveve's chief executive officer and director.

Clearance of the Viveve 2.0 System in South Korea represents the latest milestone in Viveve's ongoing regulatory strategy to expand the global commercial footprint of its next generation CMRF technology platform. The 2.0 System and consumable treatment tips are currently available in the U.S., European Union, China, and South Korea. Viveve continues its efforts to achieve additional regulatory clearances in markets around the world.

About Viveve

Viveve Medical, Inc. is a medical technology company focused on women's intimate health. Viveve is committed to advancing new solutions to improve women's overall well-being and quality of life. The internationally patented Viveve® System incorporates CMRF technology to uniformly deliver volumetric heating while gently cooling surface tissue to generate neocollagenesis in a single in-office session.

Currently, in the United States, the Viveve System is cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. International regulatory approvals and clearances have been received for vaginal laxity and/or improvement in sexual function indications in over 50 countries. Viveve is conducting VIVEVE II, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial to assess improvement of sexual function in women following vaginal childbirth. Completion of full 250 subject enrollment was announced in early March 2019. The top-line 12-month data read-out of the VIVEVE II trial is expected in April 2020. If successful, VIVEVE II results could support a marketing application for a new U.S. commercial indication.

Viveve continues to advance its clinical development program in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and plans to initiate a short-term feasibility study upon approval by the Canadian Ministry of Health of the investigational testing application submitted in August 2019. Following the positive yet inconclusive results of the LIBERATE-International trial, the proposed feasibility study will be a single-blind, three-arm, three-month study to compare Viveve's CMRF treatment to cryogen-only treatment and to inert sham treatment in order to capture short-term safety and effectiveness data on use of the Viveve System for the improvement of SUI in women. Results of the planned three-month feasibility study are targeted for read-out in April 2020. If positive, the results could be used to support Viveve's re-submission of its Investigational Device Exemption to the FDA for approval to conduct the LIBERATE-U.S. trial designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Viveve System for improvement of SUI in women. The results of these trials, if successful, could support marketing applications in the U.S. and over 30 countries around the world for this new commercial indication.

Kitchen Compost Bin Company Adds to Product Line to Meet Growing Demand

Third Rock, a zero-waste company with a focus on providing composting accessories to households, has recently added a larger kitchen compost bin to its collection to help meet increasing demand from the market.

Ashgrove, QLD, Australia – December 10, 2019

Third Rock is pleased to announce the expansion of its leading line of zero-waste products. The company, with a focus on advocating for living waste-free without compromising style, has recently added a larger variation of its popular kitchen compost bin to its growing line. The new 1.3-gallon, 5-liter bin is a welcomed addition from the company, as the compost market continues to see significant growth and demand.

Jason Hetherington, a senior spokesperson for Third Rock, says, “The compost market is not slowing down, especially with the increasing advancements in technology and awareness in households and schools nationwide. We’ve seen a huge demand in compost bin countertop decor and felt it was necessary to add this larger size to our line. We want to keep composting easy and stylish, and I think we’ve achieved this with our bins. This helps further the growth and enthusiasm around living a zero-waste lifestyle and becoming more cognizant of where our waste goes.”

Recent research on compost market trends and dynamics shows that the zero-waste lifestyle is gaining popularity throughout the U.S., with more people seeking alternative means to minimize the waste they leave behind. Hetherington says that taking small steps at home can help households start building daily waste-free habits, such as keeping a bin on a kitchen counter for composting purposes only.

“There has been a significant increase in sales over recent years of our products, as they help families and households live with less waste. These compost bin kitchen accessories are an easy way for you to start composting. Sometimes people think that composting can be complicated or too much work, but a lot of families we hear back from say that starting small helps encourage them to keep going, and then they start to seek other ways to do even more. It’s been amazing to see,” Hetherington adds.

Third Rock’s newest compost bin is constructed of carbon and stainless steel, and the company states that the bin will not rust or crack over time. A charcoal filter and removable inner pail liner are also included, which have been designed to keep the compost container odor-and-fly-free. The company adds that a rustic and vintage design also suits many home kitchen decors.

Those interested in learning more about Third Rock’s waste-free products can visit the company’s Amazon storefront or official website.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid finders fees of $1,256 in cash and issued 1,675 finder warrants on the same terms as the Warrants.

EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies Provides Solar Technology Update

NIAGARA FALLS, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2019 / EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies Corp. (TSXV:EHT) ("EHT") is pleased to report that it has achieved a major breakthrough in its solar panel construction and output.

EHT has been able to use a back contact solar back sheet and integrate its ENERTEC fiberglass material to achieve a solar module that can provide over 25 watts per sq. foot of roof space. This new module will provide a more uniform power flow and less power loss over the lifetime of the module, which will be over 50 years. The fact each cell will now work independently of each other will allow the output of the module to be more consistent and reduce power losses due to shading and other environmental factors. Additionally, the removal of the need for standard bussing currently in a typical solar module drastically increases the new modules' durability and power flow, thereby increasing power output and the resilience of the EHT solar module.

This breakthrough, which has been over a year in the works, allows EHT to power all its integrated solutions, homes, shelters, power wagons, and most importantly its micro-grow units more efficiently and thus demand less battery storage. This is a great leap forward and a welcomed addition to the EHT product line.

EHT will have the new equipment up and running at its Niagara Falls facility by the second quarter of 2020; in the meantime, EHT will utilize its relationship with the company it is purchasing the equipment from to make the panels at their facility until such time. All the projects/units that EHT is currently manufacturing, including the EHT Micro-Grow Unit in Niagara Falls that has just been completed and is ready for submission to Heath Canada for Medical Grade Cannabis Production in the next week, will have the new panel technology built into them.

John Gamble, CEO of EHT and fresh off a successful European trip to finalize this technological enhancement breakthrough, commented, "This is a major milestone in EHT; this achievement puts us back at the forefront in the solar industry with not only a lightweight panel but one that can outperform all of the other modules in the industry."

About EnerDynamic Hybrid Technologies

EHT delivers proprietary, turn-key energy solutions which are intelligent, bankable and sustainable. EHT's expertise includes the development of its ENERTEC module structures with full integration of smart energy solutions. Using a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger than traditional wood or steel structural insulated panels, EHT provides exceptional thermal energy efficiency in modular homes, cold storage facilities, residential/commercial out buildings and emergency/temporary shelters. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. In addition to traditional support to established electrical networks, ENERTEC buildings excel where no electrical grid exists.

About ENERTEC

The EHT advanced ENERTEC Modular Wall and Roof System uses a proprietary skin and foam core that is stronger and more energy efficient than traditional wood or steel structures providing the highest ratings for energy efficiency. EHT works with its partners worldwide to erect the buildings on-site utilizing EHT staff and local crews. After installation, each structure can be furnished and finished to meet the customer's requirements including siding, tile, kitchens and bathrooms or segregated commercial rooms. The finished wall product can be shipped on pallets and delivered via rail, truck or water in standard formats.

At the core of the ENERTEC product line is the ENERTEC Embedded Solar Roof Module. Solar cells can be embedded in a proprietary fire proof skin resulting in substantial cost savings by eliminating heavy glass panels and aluminum racking required for traditional solar panels. Two barriers to greater adoption of solar energy are weight limitations of the roof on which solar panels could be deployed and onerous shipping and labour costs. A lighter product at a better price point will open a larger market for solar due to the faster return of capital investment especially for rural and remote users looking to go off-grid. Furthermore, the entire EHT embedded solar roof becomes a massive solar panel capable of producing significantly more energy than the home requires, allowing the structure to then become an important source of power for the local micro grid or large battery storage systems.

Klondike Gold’s Exploration Model Update

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2019 / Klondike Gold Corp. (TSXV:KG)(FRA:LBDP)(OTC:KDKGF) ("Klondike Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update to the working exploration model which identifies newly recognized northeast trending orogenic faults and links these faults to gold mineralization. The updated exploration model is a result of a comprehensive three-month reprocessing and recompilation program of collected data involving in-house personnel and structural, geophysical, and LiDAR outside consultants. This new exploration model more adequately explains the recent gold discovery in drill hole EC19-267 which intersected mineralization grading 1,009 g/t Au with 1,035 g/t Ag over 1.0 meter (104.00-105.00 m) and provides vectors towards new exploration targets at the Lone Star and Stander zones. These areas, among others, will continue to be the focus of drilling and exploration efforts in 2020.

EXPLORATION MODEL OVERVIEW

The new orogenic structural model identifies three phases of early deformation ("D1" to "D3") associated with obduction of the Klondike island arc terrain onto continental North America, which created northwest-southeast oriented unmineralized faults through the Klondike District. A later post-obduction deformation phase ("D4"), recognized in outcrops in 2018 and recently documented in outcrop, oriented-drill core, in multiple geophysics and LiDAR datasets, and also in the topography (see Figure 1) shows approximately northeast-southwest oriented faults which dip northwesterly. This represents an almost 90-degree rotation of the main compressional stress direction, and is implied to occur well after (D1 to D3) terrain obduction.

The exploration model essentially recognizes that northeast-trending "D4" faults are responsible for gold mineralization, and that the D4 fault process also reactivated and introduced gold mineralization into some earlier "D3" northwest-trending faults. Historically the D3 faults have been the focus of all exploration in the Klondike District to date and were previously considered to be the only faults with gold mineralization.

The Lone Star Zone and Stander Zone are both (D3-related) structures cross-cut by the newly recognized (D4) faulting. The Company interprets the recent Stander Zone gold intersection in drill hole EC19-267 of mineralization grading 1,009 g/t Au with 1,035 g/t Ag over 1.0 meter (104.00-105.00 m) to be situated at the intersection of localized northwesterly (D3) and northeasterly (D4) trending structures.

Also recognized are subsequent post-mineralization north-northwest ("D5") faults containing Cretaceous age mafic, felsic and lamprophyre dykes which indicate a direct magmatic connection to the upper mantle. Most recent intrusions of north-south trending, reverse-magnetic-polarity ("D6") Eocene porphyry dykes complete the structural evolution.

FIGURE 1: STRUCTURAL MODEL SHOWCASING D3 AND D4 FAULTS ON LONE STAR RIDGE

Figure 1 provides an illustrative sketch of a potentially gold mineralized fault network. The new D4 (yellow) northeast trending faults are readily identifiable as gulches which connect between the two major thrust faults (purple) which occupy the major creeks and parallel secondary D3 reactivated faults (red).

The Company has mapped four D3 faults reactivated during the D4 gold mineralizing event, namely;

Bonanza Fault (hosting Lone Star Zone)
Nugget Fault (hosting Stander Zone)
Eldorado Fault (hosting the Gay Gulch showing)
Irish Fault (hosting the Violet showing)

The Company has also provisionally identified five northeast (D4) cross-faults in the same area which correspond directly to the pattern of creeks drainage (represented in yellow in Figure 1). The recognition and mapping of the D4 orogenic faults across multiple datasets and linking these faults to gold mineralization provides explanation for the distribution of gold in faults within the Klondike District. These northeast (D4) faults, the extensions of northwest D3 faults and the structural intersection of the (D3/D4) fault systems are considered primary targets of 2020 gold exploration.

GEOPHYSICAL EXPRESSION OF LONE STAR ZONE

The Lone Star Zone is known from drilling to be a broad zone hosting disseminated gold mineralization associated with the Bonanza Fault. A one-kilometer length by 200-meter width has been systematically drilled from 2016 to 2018 with relatively consistent gold grades across broad intervals. Additional drilling in 2019 tested for along-strike continuation of this mineralization with assay results pending.

The Lone Star Zone is recognized in gold-bearing outcrops and drilling for approximately 3 kilometers. The Lone Star Zone is directly correlated with gold-in-soils, very-low-frequency ("VLF") electromagnetics, reduced-to-pole magnetics and total field magnetics for an additional 4.5 kilometers with little exploration to date along this length, for a total interpreted length of approximately 7.5 kilometers.

GEOPHYSICAL EXPRESSION OF STANDER ZONE

The "Stander Zone" is the new name (previously ‘Nugget' and others) for the zone of quartz veining containing coarse gold mineralization found in outcrop on the east side of Eldorado Creek. The name remembers Anton Stander who was the first discoverer of placer gold in Eldorado Creek in August 1896.

The Stander Zone is recognized in gold-bearing outcrops and drilling for approximately 4 kilometers. The Stander Zone is recognizable in coincident tilt-derivative magnetics plus gold-in-soil anomalies for an additional 8 kilometers with no exploration to date along this length, for a total interpreted length of 12 kilometers.

The Stander Zone has been tested in various localized areas along approximately a 2-kilometer extent. Additional drilling in 2019 tested the area adjacent to the 1,009 g/t Au with 1,035 g/t Ag over 1.0 meter intersection with assay results pending.

2019 ASSAYS PENDING

Remaining unreleased 2019 drill results are undergoing interpretation and review in light of the new structural information and exploration model updates and will be forthcoming upon completion of this review. Results from other work such as additional soil sampling, GT-Probe surveying, rock sampling and oriented core analysis are also pending.
