Since the completion of this acquisition, last August, we have reduced the overall debt by nearly $500k. Our goal for the next 12 months is to aggressively continue this balance sheet strengthening "Stated Everett Dickson CEO, Aureus.

About Yuengling's Ice Cream

Developed by American businessman Frank D. Yuengling, as a dairy business to help support the Yuengling family brewery during the 1920s Prohibition period, Yuengling's Ice Cream has a strong tradition of making exceptional gourmet ice cream products in central Pennsylvania. The fan-favorite brand continues advancing its legacy and its renowned dairy quality, by using locally sourced dairy ingredients that contain no added hormones. Yuengling's Ice Cream is a super-premium ice cream, which means it has a butterfat content of 14% or greater. In addition to having high butterfat, Yuengling's also has low overrun (or a lower amount of air). This makes the ice cream less whipped and much more dense. Yuengling's also is constantly working to keep its product as "clean" as possible, by using as few ingredients as necessary, and those that are used are of an extremely high quality. The brands Yuengling's is most similar to are Häagen-Dazs and Ben & Jerry's.

David Yuengling and Rob Bohorad revived the brand in 2014 and an American classic was re-born. In 2018, positioned for the brands next stage of development, Yuengling's Ice Cream forged a partnership with YIC – Online Distributors, to distribute the iconic ice cream brand online, now via Aureus. Today, Yuengling's Ice Cream is delivered directly to the doorsteps of its consumers across the nation.

The Yuengling's Ice Cream Corporation, as it has been since 1935, is a separately owned and run company from D. G. Yuengling and Sons, Inc Brewery.

Twin Vee 240 Center Console Featured in August Issue of Rudow’s Fishtalk Magazine

FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / July 28, 2020 / Twin Vee PowerCats, Inc. (OTC PINK:TVPC), one of the largest production-based dual hull boat companies in the United States, will be featured in the August 2020 issue of the magazine Rudow's Fishtalk. Rudow's Fishtalk is a magazine that has served Chesapeake area fishing enthusiasts since 2017. "Rudow's Fishtalk will, among other things, include a stellar review of our 240 CC," Joseph Visconti, president of Twin Vee Powercats, Inc. said, "The team at Twin Vee is so honored to be included in a publication that celebrates the fishing lifestyle that we all love and, in part, design our boats around."

According to their website, Rudow's Fishtalk is a magazine that focuses in on Chesapeake Bay and Mid-Atlantic-based anglers and provides a "source for accurate, timely, how-to, where-to, local fishing knowledge…" The magazine offers fishers in the Mid-Atlantic region a publication that is "100-percent dedicated to fishing and fishing alone. One that's dedicated to bringing them timely information on how to catch more and bigger fish." Published by the SpinSheet Publishing Company, Rudow's Fishtalk is helmed by Lenny Rudow, a 20-plus year veteran writer specializing in fishing, boating, and marine electronics. In its August issue, the magazine examined a couple of new fishboats, including the 240 CC Powercat.

240 CC Powercat

Rudow's Fishtalk Reviews the 240 CC Powercat

A few years ago, Twin Vee Powercats, Inc. began work on designing and manufacturing new boat models that would appeal to a wider consumer base and allow more potential boat buyers the opportunity to experience the kind of smooth ride Twin Vee has become known for. Twin Vee launched the 24-foot center console power catamaran in 2019, which has been received very well by customers and critics alike. The Rudow's Fishtalk article showcases the boat in its review.

Touting the 240 CC Powercat's features in his article, Lenny Rudow goes over the best-in-class amenities onboard. Everything from the 240 CC's wide 8 foot and 8 inch-wide beam, the abundant seating throughout the deck, and the twin Suzuki outboard motors (115s, 140s, or 150s) that can be affixed on 12-inch Atlas jack plates. Moreover, Rudow states in his article that he loves "that six flush-mount gunwale rodholders come standard instead of the usual four, the transom livewell holds a whopping 40 gallons . . . When you put those goodies to use we have no doubt you'll do your best to fill the in-deck macerated fishboxes flanking the console…"

Visconti adds that the 240 CC Powercat was designed and built with an all-composite body that offers superior stability to v-shaped hulls. "The amenities that were featured in the article, as well as the others not mentioned, all come together to create a unique and extraordinary boat that exemplifies the great strides our company has taken in recent years," explains Visconti.

240 CC Powercat featured in Rudow's Fishtalk August 2020 Issue

The Rudow's Fishtalk article encourages its readers to test drive a 240 CC, especially if all they've owned were V-shaped hulled boats, stating "Just wait for a day with 20-knot gusts, and take one for a sea trial. Your aching back will thank you for it." Preston Yarborough, Director of Product Development and Vice President for Twin Vee, believes that when customers get behind the wheel of a 240 CC, they will see for themselves that it delivers a stable ride (even in turbulent waters), regardless of one's familiarity with operating a twin-hull boat. "Power cats are incredibly simple to operate. Once you learn the basics of keeping a proper trim, you will be well on your way to becoming an expert," stated Yarborough. "In fact, experienced boaters will tell you that learning to drive a catamaran was easy and they'll never go back to a monohull because of the benefits of owning a power cat," Yarborough adds.

The 240 CC Powercat Life

In addition to the attention from the Rudow's Fishtalk article, Twin Vee's 240 CC was also featured in Center Console Life Magazine and Florida Sportsman Magazine in 2019. Visconti and the Twin Vee team are delighted to see the 240 CC get recognized by authorities in the recreational boating world as well as customers who have rode in and purchased one. "The 240 CC is just one example of Twin Vee's commitment to designing and manufacturing innovative and best-in-class boats. We want to constantly push the boundaries and improve the way our customers live, work, and play on the water," explains Visconti.

Amplitech Group, Inc. Discusses Major Milestones and Prospective Markets

BOHEMIA, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 28, 2020 / AmpliTech Group, Inc. (OTCQB:AMPG): AMPG CEO Fawad Maqbool stated today "In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, AMPG is proud to announce that it has continued to follow its strategy for the identification of key elements of today's technology revolution, and has leveraged its technical expertise and experience to align its product portfolio and IP with these innovations. These technologies are evolving just as the previous "dot-com",bubble, fiber, 1G to 4G as well as standard Wi-Fi, which led to the FAANG group of companies we know so well today. Similarly, we believe we are at the knee of "hockey-stick" growth that is purportedly bigger than ALL the previous developments COMBINED. We hope our existing and newly developed products will make AMPG an integral part of these global multi-trillion dollar rapidly evolving markets for the 21st century." The Company noted that it plans to be a catalyst in the enhancement, development, and distribution of breakthroughs in the following significant sizeable markets:

Target Markets for AMPG

High Speed Terrestrial and Satellite Terminals (SATCOM, "Internet in the Sky")
5G/Wi-Fi6E, and 6G wireless infrastructure (Cellular Base Stations, Small Cells, Private Wi-Fi Networks)
IoT (Internet of Things) Eventually everything gets "connected" as billions of devices become smart and enabled by the 5G Ecosystem
Cloud Farms, Big Data, and MEC architecture
Quantum Supercomputers/Quantum Research
Deep Space Astronomy
Autonomous Self-Driving Vehicles
Telemedicine, AR/VR (Augmented and Virtual Reality)
Drones, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)
Cyber-security
Military/Defense ECM/EW

The Company has made significant breakthroughs in its core low noise amplifier products, as evidenced by its recent filing of various patents. These amplifiers are the "building blocks" of virtually every wireless communication system and the ever-growing demand for higher performance and quality in many of these communication systems has made AMPG products more popular. This is where the Company has excelled for many years, but the best performance and fidelity was only required in high-end systems such as radar, test equipment, and small research projects. "We believe we have "perfect storm" conditions today as the rising demand for better and faster communication equipment is the gateway to usher in many other technologies (listed above). Now, the obscure applications have become the mainstream solution to many developing technologies and AMPG has now focused on making its products mainstream and providing staple solutions." The Company lists the following milestones for achieving its goals throughout 2019 and into 2020:

Important Milestones for 2019 and 2020

Re-organization of BOD
Obtained non-dilutive financing/funding
Executed first accretive acquisition (Specialty Microwave)
Expanded Technical and Sales teams with key engineering and executive talent
Engaged Maxim Group, LLC to re-IPO and try to up-list to Nasdaq
Engaged Investment banking consultant
Expanded its IP portfolio with assets from acquisition as well as filing new patents
Expanded customer base by adding OneWeb, CNN, Fox News, Globecomm, General Dynamics, and many other notable Specialty Microwave customers
Developed and expanded joint product line offering by creating up-selling and cross-selling opportunities for AMPG and Specialty to larger customer base
Developed new cryogenic amplifiers for use in quantum computing and research
Generated Pro-Forma Revenues of $4 million, (post acquisition)
Uploaded new product list for U.S. Government GSA (General Services Administration) leading to increased RFQ activity on $500,000 GSA award
Increased Company market cap from $2.7 million to ~$8 million

Upcoming Guidance

Barring the latent effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Company cited its achievements and continued focus on target markets as an indication of its progress and dedication to growth. The Company remains committed to its investors and shareholders, and has taken deliberate and careful steps to steadfastly scale up its business model from a low volume research and development company, to blazing a trail and becoming a cornerstone of breakthrough and mainstream technology.

Tetra Bio-Pharma’s Management Provides Corporate Update on QIXLEEF(TM) & CAUMZ(TM) Drug Development Activities

Resumption of its PLENITUDE© clinical trial on-time;
CAUMZ™ manufacturing set to begin in USA to allow start of clinical trials;
QIXLEEF™ metabolite mapping study to be complete in Q3 2020

OTTAWA / ACCESSWIRE / July 28, 2020 / Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. ("Tetra" or the "Company") (TSXV:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF), a leader in cannabinoid-derived drug discovery and development, today announced that the long awaited resumption of its PLENITUDE© clinical trial is on time and set to commence in Q3 2020. In addition, the Corporation expects to resume the ReBorn© clinical trial to bring CAUMZ™ to the market as an alternative to opioids for breakthrough pain.

QIXLEEF™ UPDATE

The Plenitude© trial, which will involve ten clinical sites across the United States, is set to begin site initiation study specific procedures in August 2020. This is important to ensure the principal investigator and study staff understand the study protocol, that all the operational steps have been implemented, and that specific roles and responsibilities have been clearly defined and understood by all parties. Patient recruitment and enrollment will begin as soon as the sites receive the GMP grade cannabis drug product from Aphria. Plenitude© is on target to deliver the initial drug dose to patients in the clinical trial by September 2020.

QIXLEEF™ CANNABINOID METABOLIC PROFILE STUDY IN HUMANS:

On April 2, 2020, Tetra announced the launch of a study to map out the levels of cannabinoid metabolites (e.g., 7-COOH-CBD), cannabinoid precursors (e.g., CBGA) and minor cannabinoids (e.g., CBN) in the plasma of humans that had smoked or vaporized QIXLEEF™. This study is advancing as planned and we expect to receive the first data by end of August, beginning of September. Tetra is on track to complete this study as promised in Q3 2020. Dr. Guy Chamberland, CEO and CRO of Tetra commented, "We look forward to the 7-COOH-CBD metabolite data as the levels of this metabolite could provide an explanation of the recognized safety profile for the inhalation route of administration of the drug product through the Mighty Medic device, relative to the oral dosing route. If this is the case, Tetra believes that its inhalation technology could provide a safer solution to avoid liver toxicity in patients seeking CBD-based therapies."

CAUMZ™ UPDATE:

Over the last six months, Tetra has been planning for the manufacturing of CAUMZ™ at an undisclosed site in the USA. This project was initiated as part of Tetra's risk mitigation framework aimed at reducing delays to export CAUMZ™ to the USA. The Corporation expects to complete the manufacturing set-up and required GMP validations prior to the start of the ReBornã trial. Guy Chamberland, commented, "Once the USA and Canadian manufacturing facilities are fully operational and validated, Tetra will be able to accelerate the clinical development of the CAUMZ™ technology product line. This is also a critical path for completing the regulatory requirements for marketing approval. Subject to the outcome of the metabolite profiling study, which is ongoing, this validated manufacturing process would allow the Corporation to accelerate any CAUMZ™ technology product rapidly for patients."

About Tetra Bio-Pharma

Tetra Bio-Pharma (TSXV:TBP) (OTCQB:TBPMF) is a biopharmaceutical leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery and development with a Health Canada approved, and FDA reviewed and approved, clinical program aimed at bringing novel prescription drugs and treatments to patients and their healthcare providers.

(OTCQB:NBIO), announced today it has entered into a research collaboration with Syracuse University to further the development of Pritumumab, a unique monoclonal antibody that binds to cell-surface vimentin, for potential use in COVID-19 treatment.

Alison Patteson, an assistant professor of physics at Syracuse University, will test to see if Pritumumab has the potential to block SARS-CoV-2 (SARS2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, from entering cells. According to Patteson, research shows that SARS2 may be traveling into cells by way of a receptor known as cell-surface vimentin (CSV). This ia a protein found on the cell surface, similar to vimentin, which is a key internal structural protein present in many cell types. Vimentin is known for its cage-like structure which protects the cell against damage.

"Our hope is that when we treat cells with Pritumumab, it will bind to CSV, and effectively block the SARS2 virus from entering the cell," says Patteson. "An antibody that could block the entry of SARS2 into the cell could be a monumental step in the fight against COVID-19."

Patteson will test the hypothesis on mouse embryo fibroblast cells and lung airway epithelial cells to determine if the antibody will block the uptake of SARS2. Using a cell in which vimentin has been knocked out, the results will provide an important control of Pritumumab effects.

Nascent Biotech Chief Medical Officer over Viral Research, Dr. Navpaul Singh said, "This collaboration will determine if Pritumumab can effectively block SARS2 in an animal mouse model. It will also gauge Pritumumab's ability to bind vimentin in a live model."

More about the Zinc8 Energy Storage System (ESS)

The Zinc8 ESS is a modular Energy Storage System designed to deliver power in the range 20kW – 50MW with capacity of 8 hours of storage duration or higher. With the advantage of rechargeable zinc-air flow battery technology, the system can be configured to support a wide range of long-duration applications for microgrids and utilities. Since the energy storage capacity of the system is determined only by the size of the zinc storage tank, a very cost-effective and scalable solution now exists as an alternative to the fixed power/energy ratio of the lithium ion battery.

Technology

The Zinc8 ESS is based upon unique patented zinc-air battery technology. Energy is stored in the form of zinc particles, similar in size to grains of sand. When the system is delivering power, the zinc particles are combined with oxygen drawn from the surrounding air. When the system is recharging, zinc particles are regenerated, and oxygen is returned to the surrounding air.

Applications

The flexibility of the Zinc8 ESS enables it to service a wide range of applications. Typical examples include:

Smoothing energy derived from renewable sources such as wind and solar
Commercial/Industrial backup replacing diesel generators
Industrial and grid scale, on-demand power for peak shaving and standby reserves
Grid-scale services such as alleviating grid congestion, deferring transmission/distribution upgrades, energy trading and arbitrage, and increasing renewable energy penetration.

Architecture

The Zinc8 ESS is designed according to a modular architecture that enables a wide variety of system configurations to be created from a small number of common subsystems. Each subsystem implements a single element of the technology:

The Zinc Regeneration Subsystem (ZRS) provides the recharging function
The Fuel Storage Subsystem (FSS) provides the energy storage function
The Power Generation Subsystem (PGS) provides the discharging function

Michel Chapdelaine, Vice-President of Exploration commented as follows:

"This is a totally new discovery in a well-known mining camp. The target area surrounding the Snowfall Gold-Copper occurrence covers an area well over 5 square kilometers and not one historical drill hole is reported in the area."

André Tessier, President and CEO commented as follows:

" We have a tremendous opportunity to make a significant discovery in a mature camp where multiple deposits already exist. Our team of geologists is extremely excited and motivated by this new discovery. We're looking forward to receiving the results of our channel sampling shortly."

As reported on July 9th, 2020, Delta is currently carrying out a mechanical trenching program at Delta-2, which includes the Snowfall Gold occurrence. Mechanical trenching at Snowfall uncovered strong and pervasive alteration zones hosting different mineralized quartz veins at the contact of the La Dauversière Pluton. Three (3) trenches were completed spaced by more than 150 meters from each other. Channel sampling work has been completed and assays are pending.

Targets at the Delta-2 project consist of magmatic-hydrothermal gold deposits related to the La Dauversiere Pluton, such as the Joe Mann past producer (1956-2007: 1.173 million ounces of gold at a grade of 8.26 g/t Au, 607,000 ounces of silver at 5 g/t Ag and 28.7 million pounds of copper at 0.25% Cu) (Source: Technical Report on the Joe Mann Mining Property dated January 11, 2016, prepared by Geologica Inc.). In addition, Delta is targeting VMS mineralization similar to the Lemoine Mine which is located 1.5 kilometre north of the property. Between 1975 and 1983, the extraordinarily rich Lemoine Mine produced 757,585 tonnes of ore grading 9.52% Zn, 4.18% Cu, 4.56 g/t Au and 82.26 g/t Ag (Source: www.sigeom.mines.gouv.qc.ca).

Analytical Protocol and Qualified Person

Geochemical analyses were performed by Laboratoire Expert Inc, Rouyn-Noranda. Gold geochemical analyses were performed by fire assay with finish by Atomic Absorption. For samples grading over 3 g/t Au, the sample was re-analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Silver and base metal assays were analyzed by aqua regia (ICP).

The quality assurance and quality control protocol include insertion of blank or standard in addition to the regular insertion of blank, duplicate, and standard samples accredited by Laboratoire Expert during the analytical process.
