PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2015 / GoldStar Northamerican Mining, Inc. (OTC Pink: GDSR), an emerging, surface gold mining company with operations in Arizona, today announced it signed an agreement with Placer Mining Corp (PMC) to process a 100,000- ton gold bearing placer gravel stockpile and to explore PMC’s 6400 acres in the Plomosa mining district with the option to mine placer deposits on that acreage. Goldstar plans to set up its licensed proprietary F-Gem extraction equipment on site.

Commenting, GoldStar CEO Craig L. Parkinson, said, “This agreement marks a significant milestone for GoldStar as we seek to capitalize on our ability to extract and recover low cost gold from this property. Both the attractive location of this acreage position and the superior ability of F-Gem’s technology make this a very exciting project for GoldStar. I look forward to continuing the personal friendship and professional relationship I have had with the management at PMC for 10 years, and to successfully develop the gold mining projects that PMC controls in the gold-producing Plomosa Mining District.”

The Gold Mining Agreement with PMC includes a favorable land package of 10 square miles of mining claims, equivalent to 6400 acres. GNM has the option to purchase and begin mining the most favorable claims on a long-term basis. The number of claims included in the Lease-Purchase Option will be based on the results of gold-content identification that GNM will conduct in the early stages of the operation. Gold content testing will be conducted for at least 180 days to identify the most favorable areas for mining. Based on the results, GNM intends to purchase the claims that are economically feasible for mining and processing.

As part of Gold Mining Agreement, GNM will provide an initial payment to PMC of $50,000. In addition, GNM will provide to PMC 5% gross proceeds from gold and other precious metals recovered during the extraction process and a royalty payment equivalent to 10 ounces of gold (or cash) per month. The Agreement may be renewed after one year and may be modified as necessary with written agreement by GNM and PMC.

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2015 / Vycor Medical, Inc. (“Vycor”) (OTCQB: VYCO), a provider of innovative and superior surgical and therapeutic solutions, announced that two new important peer-reviewed studies have been published utilizing its ViewSite Brain Access System (“VBAS”). The studies appear in the March editions of World Neurosurgery and Neurological Research, and follow on from the study published earlier this month in the prestigious Journal of Neurosurgery which also featured VBAS on its front cover.

Management has consistently stated that it is this type of high quality clinical data that continues to evidence the clinical superiority of VBAS, which in turn drives its adoption and accelerates the hospital approval process, which in turn drives revenues. There have now been seven peer-reviewed studies published on VBAS and two white papers evidencing its clinical advantages which will over time ensure that the product becomes the standard of care for brain retraction and access. For a link to the clinical data, see VBAS Clinical Studies.

The World Neurosurgery article entitled “A Percutaneous Transtubular Middle Fossa Approach for Intracanalicular Tumors” was authored by Antonio Bernardo et al. of the Department of Neurological Surgery, Weill Cornell Medical College, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York. The study concluded: “All 10 approaches were successfully completed through the tubular retractor [VBAS] with minimal retraction of the temporal lobe. Excellent visualization of the structures within the internal auditory canal was achieved with both the microscope and 3D endoscope…” 

The Neuroogical Research article entitled “Rigid endoscopic resection of deep-seated or intraventricular brain tumors” was authored by Yukinori Akiyama et al. of the Dept of Neurosurgery, Sapporo Medical University, School of Medicine, Hokkaido Japan. This was an 18 patient study that concluded: “Strong retraction may cause significant brain and vascular damage; tubular retractors can help minimize retraction injury. The rigid endoscopic technique using a thick tubular sheath [VBAS] provides an alternative medial approach that improves visualization and increases working space. We believe that this technique [rigid endoscope resection through a sheath] is a safer, more reliable, and less invasive method for the treatment of deep-seated brain tumors”.

World Neurosurgery is the official journal of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS), a professional, scientific, non-governmental organization representing some 30,000 neurosurgeons worldwide. World Neurosurgery is recognized as not only conveying high-level peer reviewed clinical and laboratory neuroscience, but also to address issues of educational relevance. Neurological Research is an international, peer-reviewed journal for reporting both basic and clinical research in the fields of neurosurgery, neurology, neuroengineering and neurosciences. It provides a medium for those who recognize the wider implications of their work and who wish to be informed of the relevant experience of others in related and more distant fields.

About Vycor Medical, Inc.

(“Vycor”) is a publicly traded company (OTCQB: VYCO) dedicated to providing the medical community with innovative and superior surgical and therapeutic solutions and has a growing portfolio of FDA cleared medical solutions that are changing and improving lives every day. The Company operates two business units: Vycor Medical and NovaVision, both of which adopt a minimally or non-invasive approach. Both technologies have exceptional sales growth potential, address large potential markets, have the requisite regulatory approvals and are commercialized and generating revenue.

Vycor Medical’s ViewSite(TM) Surgical Access Systems (VBAS) is a suite of clear cylindrical minimally invasive disposable devices that hold the potential for speedier, safer and more economical brain surgeries and a quicker patient discharge. VBAS is designed to optimize neurosurgical site access, reduce patient risk, accelerate recovery and add tangible value to the professional medical community.

NovaVision develops and provides science-driven neurostimulation therapy and other medical technologies that help improve and partially restore sight in patients with neurological vision impairments. The company’s proprietary Visual Restoration Therapy(R) (VRT) platform is clinically supported to improve lost vision resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury (“TBI”), or other acquired brain injuries. VRT is the only FDA 510K cleared medical device in the U.S. aimed at the restoration of vision for neurologically induced vision loss and can be prescribed by any Physician. VRT also has CE Marking for the EU. NovaVision also provides Neuro Eye Therapy (NeET) in the EU, aimed at increasing visual sensitivity deep within the field defect.

The Company has also developed a therapy called NeuroEyeCoach(TM). The NeuroEyeCoach(TM) therapy is highly complementary to VRT(TM). The two therapies address different visual disabilities each of which results from neurologically-induced vision loss – a loss of visual field as well as difficulty with eye movement, affecting the ability to integrate visual information. VRT provides partial restoration of the patient’s lost visual field; NeuroEyeCoach(TM) is designed to increase the efficiency of eye movement and re-train the patients’ ability to integrate visual information between the left and right hand side. For an overview of NovaVision see NovaVision Video.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2015 / SeeThruEquity, a leading independent equity research and corporate access firm focused on smallcap and microcap public companies, today announced that it has issued a company update on Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE).

The note is available here: NETE Update Note. SeeThruEquity is an approved equity research contributor on Thomson First Call, Capital IQ, FactSet, and Zack’s. The report will also be available on these platforms. We also contribute our estimates to Thomson Estimates, the leading estimates platform on Wall Street.

“We see the acquisition of PayOnline as strategic for Net Elements, as the company already has a strong presence in Russia, CIS, Europe and Asia and all representing attractive markets with significant growth potential for online and mobile payments. Russia, for example, is the 6th largest global market for online payments, according to McKinsey & Company, accounting for $50Bn in payments annually. The country has several attractive growth characteristics, with ecommerce growing at a 22% annual rate and a long runway for potential growth, with only 43% of the Russian population using the Internet. We are reiterating our raising our 12 month price target on NETE of $5.17 per share,” stated Ajay Tandon, CEO of SeeThruEquity.

Additional highlights of the note are as follows:

PayOnline acquisition a strategic move for Net Element

– The acquisition of PayOnline is a strategic move that significantly expands Net Element’s scale, product offerings and international presence. PayOnline operates a proprietary integrated platform of payment solutions that supports over 10mn active consumers and thousands of merchants in the Russian Federation, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Europe and Asia. PayOnline is an online payment leader in Russia, which McKinsey & Company estimates is the 6th largest payments market globally, accounting for $50Bn in payments. PayOnline is estimated to hold a 30% share of the online payments segment, and appears to be an attractive addition to the company’s TOT Money and Unified Payments businesses, allowing a best in class solution that covers all methods of online and mobile payment in Russia. We estimate PayOnline processes approximately $100mn in online payments per year, generating roughly $3.5mn in revenue, with positive net income.

PayOnline acquisition adds to momentum in Russian Federation, Europe and Asia

– The PayOnline acquisition is the latest in a series of positive announcements for Net Element’s TOT Group subsidiary in the region. TOT Money, a TOT Group company, is an industry leader in the growing mobile payments market in Russia, where it has achieved 10% market share and has been one of the top three mobile payments provider for the last two years, according to research from Russian leading mobile operator Vimpelcom. The company has relationships with the top three mobile operators in Russia and reached a crucial milestone by exceeding 1mn recurring mobile payment subscribers in January. In fact TOT Money achieved 10% market share in Russia while generating double-digit, quarter-over-quarter subscriber throughout 2014. 

– We believe Net Element is rightly investing its resources in this strategic market where robust growth is expected for the foreseeable future and the company commands a strong competitive position. Net Element further increased the resources available to TOT Money in November, by entering into a financing agreement with Bank Otkritie Financial Corp, one of Russia’s largest private banks, to provide approximately $4mn in accounts receivable financing.

WHITEFISH, MT / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2015 / The cannabis industry is rapidly growing and there are no signs that it’s slowing down anytime soon. According to ArcView Research, the market for legal cannabis is the fastest-growing industry in the United States, growing to $2.7 billion in 2014.

Many publicly traded companies have sought to
capitalize on this growth by growing medical cannabis, pursuing clinical trials
with cannabinoids, developing vaporizers and other accessories, or providing
generic consulting services to the space. While many of these companies are
involved in the industry, no clear market leaders have yet to emerge as
conglomerates.

For instance, GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:GWPH) is a leader in conducting clinical trials targeting a number of underlying medical conditions. The stock has done very well, but it doesn’t provide diversification across multiple areas of the industry.

Recently, CannabisFN’s Mike Elliott sat down with DigiPath
Inc.’s (OTCQB:DIGP) CEO Todd Denkin to discuss the company’s recent
accomplishments in growing its diversified presence in the cannabis industry.

CannabisFN Executive Interview | DigiPath OTC: DIGP / Mr. Todd Denkin, CEO from TDM Financial on Vimeo.

Built Upon a Solid Foundation

DigiPath is a diversified provider of reliable testing, educational programs, and unbiased news coverage focused on the burgeoning cannabis industry through its four business units – DigiPath Labs, TNMNews Corp, DigiPath Corp, and DigiPath University. By leveraging synergies between these various divisions, the company aims to build the industry’s premier conglomerate.

Recently, the company completed a restructuring of
its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that removed the variable conversion price
feature. The conversion price is now fixed at $0.02 for the shares, instead of
the lower of $0.02 per share and 70% of the volume weighted 20-day moving
average. The fixed conversion price significantly reduces potential dilution
associated with the original terms of the Series A shares and eliminates uncertainty
regarding the number of shares of common stock the company has outstanding on a
fully-diluted basis.

The company’s balance sheet had no long-term debt and a strong cash position of over $3.6 million, as of December 31, 2014. With this solid foundation in place, we believe the company is well positioned to expand with its various initiatives targeting different areas of the cannabis industry, while continuing to grow its legacy digital microscopy business that continues to generate revenue.

Nevada Lab
Opening Soon

DigiPath Labs aims to set the industry standard for testing all forms of cannabis-based products using FDA-compliant laboratory equipment and processes to measure safety and efficacy. Since securing a permit from the State of Nevada to open a cannabis-testing laboratory in June of 2014, the company has completed the construction of a $1.4 million facility that’s slated to open in just a few weeks.

“Patient safety starts with adhering to standardized, rigorous analytical techniques,” said DigiPath Inc. Chief Science Officer Dr. Cindy Orser, who heads up the DigiPath Labs subsidiary, in a recent press release. “We believe we have developed best-in-class procedures to test dried plant material and byproducts from the cannabis plant for potency and contaminants.”

The market for cannabis testing services has been consistently growing alongside the medical and recreational marijuana industries. With a growing number of products targeting the space, there’s an increasing need for laboratories designed to screen for potentially harmful contaminants like solvents, pesticides, mold, heavy metals, or microbial contaminants.

TNMNews Goes
Terrestrial

DigiPath’s TNMNews Corp. has featured a number of so-called marijuana luminaries since its inception, including those shaping the industry and making the key decisions. Through these high-powered interviews, the program’s audience has expanded to well over 100,000 listeners each month through its website and other venues, like Live365 and even terrestrial radio stations.

In order to expand this audience, management has been diligently working to build its presence in terrestrial radio, which has been historically dominated by companies like Cumulus Media Inc. (NASDAQ:CMLS). The company is already on the terrestrial airwaves in Delaware, Wisconsin, and Alaska, while plans are in the works to onboard many other partners to develop into additional states. As well, management recently launched a new website to further drive online listenership.

Over the coming weeks, the company plans to feature
2012 Libertarian Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson, who has long been an
advocate for the lifting of federal restrictions on marijuana. The former governor of New Mexico recently compared the Marijuana industry to “a dam about to about to burst,” and warned lawmakers opposing legalization to “start packing their bags.” Interested
listeners can tune in by visiting www.thenationalmarijuananews.com or by visiting Live365.

Looking Ahead

DigiPath trades with a market capitalization of just $1.6 million, according to OTC Markets, which represents just a fractionof its potential if it’s successful in building out all of these businesses. With the early signs of success, cannabis investors may want to take a closer look at the stock.

Management has also been working to provide a
number of additional catalysts to grow the business ahead. For instance, the
company recently announced the signing of an agreement with Blue Line
Protection Group (OTCQB:BLPG) to synergistically cross-market their services and
ultimately drive revenue through “preferred partner” statuses between similar
customer bases.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2015 / Doubleview Capital Corp. (“Doubleview”) (TSX-V: DBV) is pleased to report that a crew led by Dr. Abdul Razique, the Company’s chief geoscientist, has commenced field work at the Hat Gold-Copper Porphyry Complex in the Sheslay district of northwest British Columbia. The Company is fully funded to execute the next important phase at the Hat Project, following up on the discovery of the richest gold-copper values yet encountered in drilling at the property.

As the already entirely equipped camp reopens in preparation for a resumption of drilling in April, Doubleview’s most urgent priority is to log and cut 250 meters of core from drill hole H-23. When completed, samples will be forwarded to an independent analytical laboratory for analysis.

H-23 was halted at a depth of 650 meters just prior to the winter shutdown December 20. Assay results for the first 400 meters were reported in news releases January 19, 2015, and February 3, 2015. A chalcopyrite-pyrite zone in Sheslay red stock was visually observed to extend for at least 120 meters in H-23 beginning at a depth of 402 meters.

Dr. Razique, a porphyry deposit expert whose background includes 12 years exploring the massive Reko Diq mining district in western Pakistan, has reviewed the Company’s database of technical surveys and more than 7,735 meters of drilling and 3034 core samples. He is now commencing hands-on property work including re-examination of drill cores and confirmation of geological data. A refined geologic model, including lithologic and alteration interpretations, will guide the Company’s extensive 2015 exploration and drilling programs.
