CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2020 / Point Loma Resources Ltd. (TSXV:PLX) ("Point Loma" or the "Corporation"), which controls a land base of over 161,000 net acres (250 net sections) and a deep inventory of oil and gas opportunities, is pleased to announce the execution of a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") outlining a farmout agreement with a private company ("Privco" or the "Farmee") which includes a commitment by Privco to drill a horizontal well on at least one of the Corporation's oil and gas projects. The LOI is subject to the execution of definitive farmout and purchase and sale agreements incorporating the terms of the LOI and other industry standard conditions.

Farmout of Point Loma Lands

The LOI contemplates that Point Loma will initially assign 20% of the Corporation's interests in three areas of mutual interest ("AMI") lands to the Farmee in exchange for a commitment to drill a horizontal well on one of the three AMI lands to earn additional interests in the drilled AMI lands. Once the first horizontal well is drilled there is the opportunity for the Farmee to elect to drill and earn similar interests in the second and third AMI areas on a rolling option basis.

The first horizontal well is committed to be drilled prior to February 28, 2021. Should the commitment horizontal well not be drilled, there is a non-performance penalty of $100,000 payable to Point Loma and the initial assignment of lands to the Farmee would be nullified and revert back to Point Loma.

The drilling of an earning well will result in either a 15% GORR payable to Point Loma convertible at payout to 50% of the Corporation's pre-drill working interest or, at the election of the Farmee, the Farmee will earn 70% of the Corporation's pre-drill working interest in the block of AMI lands on which the drilling occurred.

AMI Areas

The AMI lands contain three of Point Loma's high-graded exploration opportunities at Leaman, Wildwood and Paddle River. In total Point Loma currently holds 14,711 net acres in these three areas.

Leaman AMI – Upper Mannville Oil and Natural Gas (Wizard Lake Rex Analog)

Point Loma has internally identified and captured an Upper Mannville pool target which is analogous to the Corporation's Rex discovery at Wizard Lake in 2018 that led to the development of three successful oil wells currently producing approximately 500 bpd oil and 2 MMcf/d natural gas. The target zone appears to have similar reservoir characteristics to the Wizard Lake development and internal mapping indicates a potential pool size of approximately 6 to 8 sections. This could result in 15 to 20 follow-up opportunities with success.

Wildwood AMI – Lower Mannville Oil and Natural Gas

Point Loma has internally identified and captured multiple Mannville pool targets which appear analogous to the Corporation's operated Paddle River Lower Mannville producing oil and gas pool. The target zones are thicker and appear to have similar reservoir characteristics to the existing Paddle River development. Certain pools are expected to be light oil and others natural gas accumulations. Internal mapping indicates the potential for 15 to 20 follow up opportunities upon a successful discovery.

Paddle River AMI – Banff Oil

Based on proprietary 3D seismic shot by the Corporation, Point Loma has internally identified two high impact Banff oil targets in the Paddle River area. As interpreted, these pools are analogous to developments in the offsetting Cherhill and St. Anne areas which have accumulations of up to 90 MMbbls of original oil in place. The Corporation plans to utilize horizontal multi-stage completions to develop these pools upon success. The only previous horizontal wells drilled in the region utilized dated technology and were completed as open holes yet achieved initial production rates ranging from 200 to 800 barrels of oil per day.

Increases in Natural Gas Production Weighting and Indications of Strengthening Prices

The Corporation's natural gas production was bolstered in late 2019 by the transfer of approximately 240 boepd (net) of natural gas weighed production from its partner Salt Bush Energy Ltd. in association with the Stage 1 closing of the Wizard Lake property disposition. Point Loma's production mix is expected to be further natural gas weighted upon the disposition of the majority of the Corporation's remaining interest in Wizard Lake scheduled to close in late May 2020.

The onset of Covid-19 has had a negative impact on world oil demand and prices and has resulted in a substantial reduction in drilling activity and production shut-ins in North America. As a consequence, associated natural gas production is expected to continue to fall, resulting in a reduction in supply to the North American natural gas market. Natural gas futures prices have begun to reflect the markets expectation for tighter supply later this year.

About Point Loma

Point Loma is a public oil and gas exploration and development company focused on conventional and unconventional oil and gas reservoirs in west central Alberta. The Corporation controls over 161,000 net acres (250 net sections) and has a deep inventory of oil and gas opportunities. Point Loma's business plan is to utilize its experience to identify, acquire and develop accretive assets with potential to employ horizontal multi-stage frac technology and to exploit opportunities for secondary recovery.

Oil and Gas Information

"BOEs" may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value.

Well test results should be considered as preliminary. Neither a pressure transient analysis nor a well-test interpretation has been carried out on the well test data contained herein and therefore the data contained herein should be considered to be preliminary until such analysis or interpretation has been done. There is no representation by the Corporation that the disclosed well results included in this news release are necessarily indicative of long term performance or recovery. As a result, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production for the Corporation or that such rates are indicative of future performance of the well.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

The court then issues a Markman Order, also known as the claim construction ruling, in which the court determines how each term is to be construed. The court's claim constructions are then applied in motions and at trial in the determinations of patent infringement and validity. 

Jeffrey Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ParkerVision stated, "We are pleased with the court's Markman Order, and we remain confident in our position concerning Qualcomm's infringement of the patent claims at issue in this case. We believe the court's Markman Order is another significant step towards the successful resolution of this litigation."

This patent infringement action, filed in May 2014, alleges that certain Qualcomm and HTC product infringe numerous claims of four patents owned by ParkerVision. The parties originally filed claim construction briefs in June 2015 and presented arguments in a claim construction hearing in August 2015. Prior to the court's ruling, the case was stayed pending resolution of other actions. After the stay was lifted in 2019, additional briefs were filed by the parties and a second claim construction hearing was held in November 2019. The case is currently scheduled for trial commencing December 1, 2020.

WALTHAM, MA / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2020 / Tecogen Inc. (NASDAQ:TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce orders for multiple InVerde microgrid enabled cogeneration systems from two separate multi-unit residential buildings in New York City. One of the buildings is installing two InVerde units to replace a competitor's cogeneration system that was no longer in operation.

"We continue to see strong demand for InVerde systems in New York City as buildings invest in efficiency measures to meet New York City's carbon reduction laws," commented Jeff Glick, Vice President of East Coast Sales at Tecogen. "The InVerde cogeneration system is one of the most cost-effective ways that buildings can substantially reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint to avoid penalties under New York local law 97. The InVerde's high efficiency is expected to reduce the GHG footprint of these buildings by more than 37% and improve their economic return on building operations."

New York City's local law 97 requires GHG reductions of 25% by 2024 and 40% by 2030. The InVerde system produces electricity and hot water far more efficiently than the electric grid and conventional hot water boilers, and typically reduces the GHG footprint of a large residential building by as much as 250 metric tons/year.

"Our InVerde cogeneration systems are one of the most cost-effective ways for buildings to reach their carbon reduction targets" stated Benjamin Locke, Tecogen's CEO. "Both of these buildings are expected to reduce their energy costs significantly year over year while benefitting from resiliency to grid interruptions. More importantly, the InVerde system provides significant GHG reductions to permit buildings to avoid costly penalties for failing to reach prescribed GHG reduction goals."

Both projects are expected to be operational in late 2020 and include five-year maintenance agreements.

About Tecogen

Tecogen Inc. designs, manufactures, sells, installs and maintains high efficiency, ultra-clean, cogeneration products including combined heat and power, air conditioning systems and high-efficiency water heaters for residential, commercial, recreational and industrial use.

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2020 / Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. ("Leafbuyer" or "the Company") (OTCQB:LBUY), a leading technology company within the cannabis industry, announced today a new loyalty integration with Flowhub, a prominent cannabis retail software company known for its industry-leading point of sale solution.

The integration enables new features for dispensaries that use both Leafbuyer Loyalty, the Company's texting and loyalty platform, and Flowhub. "The integration between Leafbuyer and Flowhub provides value to both platforms as well as our dispensary clients," said Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer. "Dispensaries that use our software solutions will see a drastic improvement in their ability to collect customer contact information and effectively communicate with them."

The integration has three key benefits. First, Leafbuyer Loyalty will automatically pull sales data from Flowhub, syncing customers' purchase data with their loyalty profiles. Loyalty systems generally operate on a points-per-visit or points-per-spend basis. While the latter is most effective, it is typically time-intensive and prone to user error. With this integration, dispensaries can seamlessly run a points-per-spend loyalty program with no extra effort required. Once a customer "checks in" at the dispensary and makes a purchase, the purchase details are linked with the Leafbuyer Loyalty account. The dispensary then has the added benefit of being able to send text and email messages to specific customers based on purchase behaviors.

Second, the dispensary no longer needs additional hardware to register each customer's visit. Dispensary visitors can simply provide their phone number to a customer service representative who enters it into the Flowhub POS. For the first check-in, Leafbuyer Loyalty does require customers to register on a tablet to ensure compliance with text message regulations. While other cannabis loyalty providers have faced scrutiny in recent years, Leafbuyer has continued to keep clients compliant with these guidelines.

The third benefit relates to the Leafbuyer Loyalty "wallet" feature. Dispensaries that use Leafbuyer Loyalty can offer their customers digital "wallets" which show transaction data and current loyalty points. The new integration enables Leafbuyer Loyalty to pull exact purchase information, giving the wallet a more robust and detailed purchase history.

"We look forward to rolling out the enhanced features to all joint clients of Flowhub and Leafbuyer Loyalty," continued Rossner. "This integration will also give Leafbuyer a strategic advantage when pitching new dispensaries, including the 1,000+ clients that use Flowhub."

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 30, 2020 / When it comes to changing the world at the hands of an invisible monster, not many have been as effective as Eugene Gu. The founder of a smoking cessation aid has now turned his sites onto the fight against COVID-19. "It is something that we must band together now and fight against. It truly is the invisible enemy and I would like to be the arms dealer that doles out some good ole' fashion whoopings on this coronavirus."

With new updates to Cool Quit, it seems that Eugene Gu's stock is on the rise. "We are very happy to announce that we can now offer at-home coronavirus testing kits to patients." Eugene Gu said when talking about the latest innovation in his product line. "We have effectively been able to change course and begin developing a product line that can help fight against the virus and flatten the curve through detection and subsequent quarantine."

Before the at-home coronavirus testing kits were announced, however, Cool Quit had been already putting in the work with free COVID-19 screening, evaluation, and testing for Medicare PPO patients in Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia. "It was a huge deal and I am happy to say that thanks to the flexibility of our staff as well as our ability to stay vigilant and nimble, we were able to get testing set up in those locations and metro areas that needed it the most." Eugene Gu noted. "I think that right now, it is important for us to stand up for those that need help the most, and that means our vulnerable as well as those that are below the poverty line. This situation has made things much more stressful for those populations and we needed to work quickly to mobilize for those individuals specifically." Eugene Gu continued.

Eugene Gu, it should be noted, is a Stanford trained medical doctor who found his way into the medical testing world. "It was a way for me to do something greater than just seeing patients one on one. I found it to be a way to impact communities in a more positive way." Eugene Gu said. "I found that developing smoking cessation kits could impact more people at once than my practice ever could."

Eugene Gu is also quick to point out how impressed he is with his own organization and their ability to react in times of crisis. "I think it is important that every business becomes a business that fights to support its own community. The business then becomes a symbol of responsibility to help the community in any way possible." Eugene Gu noted. "But his battle hasn't been won yet." Eugene Gu continues. "We must hold strong and hold the fort down for those who can't".
