NEW YORK, Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NetworkNewsAudio — GoldHaven Resources Corp. (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: ATUMF) today announces that its CEO, Dan Schieber, has been featured in an exclusive audio interview with NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”), a financial news and content distribution company and one of 50+ brands in the InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”). During the interview, Schieber provided some background on the company’s recent IPO, the strength of its management team and upcoming plans to begin its initial exploration program on several properties located in the famous Maricunga Gold Belt of Chile.

The broadcast can be heard at The NetworkNewsAudio Interviews Podcast.

Schieber began the interview by providing some background on the company. “GoldHaven is a Canadian junior exploration company. We’ve been active since March, when COVID was just coming out, and managed to get our IPO done and raise $2.5 million during a pandemic. Our unique land position is in the Maricunga Gold Belt of Chile, where more than 100 million ounces of gold were discovered in the last 10 years, along with half a billion ounces of silver,” he said.

GoldHaven’s formidable positioning in the gold space is underpinned by the company’s valuable assets and the financial strength of its business plan. GoldHaven’s initial exploration program includes drilling and conducting geophysics on several properties starting in January 2021.

Another significant asset for GoldHaven, said Schieber, is the leadership of the company’s Vice President of Exploration, Patrick Burns, a Canadian geologist with over 40 years of experience throughout the Caribbean and Central and South America. Burns played a direct role in the discovery of the Escondida porphyry copper deposit in Chile and has been involved in publicly traded mining companies, predominantly in Chile, for 35 years.

“Pat Burns is the life of the company. He is credited with discovery of one of the largest mines in the world. I’m really looking forward to seeing what results he brings from our initial exploration program,” Schieber added.

Looking ahead, Schieber said one of the strongest arguments for investing in GoldHaven is COVID-19’s effect on the global economy.

“It’s going to be really interesting to see the market turn for us. One thing that is a premise for my involvement in GoldHaven, and why I like to be in gold, is the basics of currency. You cannot undo the printing of money; you can’t control this,” he said. “That argument is the strongest one we have for gold as a means of preserving wealth. This is an exciting time to be a shareholder of GoldHaven. We believe in gold and believe gold will be a great hedge against the dilution of currencies.”

About GoldHaven Resources Corp.

GoldHaven Resources Corp. is a Canadian junior exploration company active in the Maricunga Gold Belt of northern Chile. The Maricunga measures 150 km north-south and 30 km east-west and is host to discoveries in the last 10 years of 100M oz gold; 450M oz silver and 1.3 billion lbs. copper. The company has agreements in place to acquire seven high priority exploration targets as identified by geological studies. GoldHaven has identified four of these seven properties as being “High Priority” targets and, will commence a drilling program beginning during the first quarter of 2021. The four priority targets include Coya, located approximately 16 km northeast of the La Coipa mine, where Kinross has extracted over 6.2 million oz.; Rio Loa, a project located 25 km south of Gold Field’s Salares Norte deposit (5.2 M oz. AuEq); and Alicia and Roma, which are approximately 35 km south of the Salares Norte deposit. These priority targets have been designated as High Priority owing to the extensive pervasive alteration, favorable geology and highly anomalous rock geochemistry results, as well as their relative proximity to existing deposits.

SEATTLE, Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jones Soda Co. (OTCQB: JSDA), the original craft soda known for its unconventional flavors and user-designed label artwork, announced the promotion of 38-year CPG and foodservice industry veteran Mark Murray to President and CEO. Murray began working with the company as a consultant earlier this year, has served as president since September 1, 2020, and helped engineer a turnaround that saw the company achieve a 17% year-over-year third quarter revenue increase and improved gross margins after six consecutive quarters of revenue decline.

Murray’s contributions to date include new cost and management controls, a revised sales strategy focusing on core product offerings, and a new three-year strategic plan that includes expansion into foodservice and club channels. He has also played a critical role in encouraging and shaping renewed marketing investments, including a high-profile RV campaign featuring legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk, as well as supporting an ongoing series of promotions using Jones Soda labels as a canvas for personal expression to reinforce the company’s heritage as the people’s craft soda.

“Mark hit the ground running when he was hired as a consultant and has proven to be instrumental in the early days of our turnaround strategy,” said Mick Fleming, Chairman of the Board for Jones Soda. “His experience, guidance and vision have helped us streamline costs, improve almost every aspect of operations, raise brand awareness, and build strong momentum, even in the midst of a pandemic. Considering what he has accomplished in just a few months, having Mark at the helm positions the company to achieve sustainable, profitable growth in the months and years ahead.”

Commenting on his promotion, Murray said: “Jones is a strong brand that has two key assets: a unique brand personality and a 25-year foothold in the growing craft soda market. We’ve had early successes already, and I fully expect our performance to continue improving as we execute our plan to return the business to growth and profitability.”

Prior to joining Jones Soda, Murray served as the president of JGC Foods, a 600-employee North American food manufacturer specializing in fresh soups, sauces, sides, and entrées. In his six years with JGC, including four as vice president of sales and marketing, Murray created and implemented a broad range of strategic initiatives that nearly tripled company sales, developed new channels, achieved significant cost savings, and led to the acquisition of JGC by a capital fund.

WOBURN, Mass., Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN), an agricultural bioscience company, today announced that Meghna Malik, Ph.D., Senior Director, will present at the 4^th CRISPR AgBio Congress which is being held December 1-3, 2020 as a virtual event.

Dr. Malik’s presentation is titled “Yield10 trait development: Using CRISPR to increase seed yield and oil content in Camelina.” The presentation will be part of the “Expanding the CRISPR scope to more challenging agricultural crops” session which is scheduled at 6:00 pm EST on Dec. 2. Dr. Malik will also participate in a Virtual Roundtable titled “Analyzing the next generation of promising target traits: Revolutionizing the future of agriculture,” which is scheduled at 3:00 pm EST on Dec. 3.

In her presentation, Dr. Malik will discuss the approach taken by Yield10 and its wholly owned subsidiary, Metabolix Oilseeds, to deploy novel traits in the oilseed crops Camelina sativa and canola using CRISPR genome-editing to increase seed yield and oil content. The presentation describes the simultaneous editing of three gene targets (C3008a, C3008b, C3009) designed to reduce the oil turnover during seed maturation. To do this, the researchers simultaneously edited nine genes in Camelina using CRISPR. Different combinations of edits were obtained and characterized. Dr. Malik will present data obtained from a triple edited Line E3902 showing a five percent increase in total oil produced per plant in greenhouse studies and a calculated 15 percent increase in total oil produced per hectare in field tests conducted in 2019.

Dr. Malik will also highlight Yield10’s work with the novel oil content trait C3007, which disrupts BADC, a novel negative regulator of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), a key enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis. Yield10 has obtained stable edits for select badc genes and gene combinations deployed in Camelina and canola. In greenhouse studies, certain combinations of CRISPR-edited BADC targets deployed in Camelina have shown an increase in oil produced per plant. In 2020, Yield10 conducted its first field trials of BADC (C3007) edited Camelina lines in the U.S. Yield10 has also produced C3007 canola lines where an increase in oil produced per plant has been observed in greenhouse studies.

“Our presentation highlights our success deploying multiple CRISPR edits in a complex genome crop like Camelina and translating the greenhouse research to field testing to obtain the positive outcome of increasing oil content,” said Meghna Malik, Ph.D., Senior Director of Metabolix Oilseeds, the Canadian subsidiary of Yield10 Bioscience. “Our research with these CRISPR-edited Camelina and canola lines is intended to increase seed oil content to maximize oil yields per acre. We also see the potential to combine or stack these CRISPR edits with oil composition traits, such as Camelina omega-3 (DHA+EPA), to increase yield and hence the economic value of engineered crops. We look forward to reporting further results for these traits as our work continues to progress in 2021.”

Yield10 recently announced a collaboration with Rothamsted Research to develop advanced technology for producing omega-3 (DHA+EPA) nutritional oils in Camelina.

Learn more about the conference at the 4^th CRISPR AgBio Congress website. A copy of Dr. Malik’s slide deck is available on the Yield10 Bioscience website.

NEW YORK, Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — Brain Scientific Inc. (OTCQB: BRSF), a neurology-focused medical device and software company, has filed a provisional patent application in the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) entitled, “FULL HEAD APPARATUS AND ELECTRODES FOR CONDUCTING ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY.”

During EEG testing electrodes are put to the person’s head by either a cap application or placement of each electrode. The latter method is time consuming and requires a trained technician. Reusable caps and electrodes need cleaning and adding gel – a lengthy procedure that can also transmit germs. Both methods can lead to recording incorrect signals if the person moves during the test. Additionally, when an electrode cap is used for EEG, customizing it to fit users remains a challenge due to the various head sizes. Disposable EEG caps address this problem but they can only be provided with pre-set sizes.

“The new EEG product for which Brain Scientific is seeking a patent approval is a flexible head cap for conducting electroencephalography. The cap carries multiple dry electrodes that are placed at various positions corresponding to various channels for bio-signal collection,” said Irina Nazarova, Marketing Director at Brain Scientific.

The new flexible full head EEG cap is a response to the market demand for size-adjustable EEG with maximized electrode placement coverage and strong contact with the scalp, where the person’s comfort is maximized and bio-signals collected are of high quality.

Traditionally, EEG tests have been useful in helping diagnose conditions relating to brain injuries, such as seizures, strokes, brain tumors, Alzheimer’s disease and certain psychoses. Recent studies show more than 80% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients have neurological symptoms, which could require EEG testing. Also, Brain Scientific estimates that approximately 5 million patients in U.S. emergency departments and ICUs are subject to seizures and could benefit from routine EEG tests.

Additionally, EEG systems have gone through evolution to become an integral part of modern applications, such as brain computer interface for controlling electronic devices, neurofeedback activities, electronic sports (e-sports), health and wellness parameter collection, virtual and augmented reality, and sleep pattern evaluations.

MANASSAS, Va., Dec. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RangeForce, provider of the first and most advanced cloud-based cybersecurity training platform and cyber range, today announced that Niloofar Razi Howe has joined its board of advisors.

A 25+-year investor, executive, and entrepreneur in technology and a top influencer in national security and cybersecurity, Howe was most recently chief strategy officer and senior vice president of strategy and operations at RSA. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of Recorded Future, Morgan Stanley US Banks, and Pondurance. She is also a Senior Fellow at New America and serves on a number of US Government advisory boards.

“Training and rapid up-leveling of cybersecurity professionals has become an essential part of the preparedness of every organization in an era of unprecedented cyber threats,” said Howe. “Even before the pandemic halted most on-site training, enterprise security teams had concluded that the only way to continually improve cyber resilience is by combining hands-on remote training with on-going realistic blue team exercises. RangeForce turns cyber pros into star defenders and star defenders into star teams, and that’s critically needed in our industry and very exciting,” she added.

RangeForce customers typically start with hands-on individual training modules, ranging from beginner to advanced, delivered through role-based prescriptive learning paths. Learners continually take built-in challenges to test their skills and report progress along those learning paths. This ongoing activity takes place through short time commitments that prepare them to better execute their jobs or move into new positions. Blue team training exercises in RangeForce’s unique cloud-based cyber range build security tool competency, validate processes and playbooks, and most importantly, build team skills and coordination. Exercises are realistic, based on an organization’s IT infrastructure, and are repeatable, thus, driving down costs and encouraging re-use and sharing.

According to RangeForce President Gordon Lawson, “We’re so fortunate to have Niloo join our advisory board during a time when we’re seeing tremendous customer adoption of the RangeForce Platform. We are committed to building cyber resilience through our hands-on approach, and Niloo’s unique perspective and background in finance, cyber security, and national security will be a huge competitive advantage for us and our customers in 2021.”

At RSA, Howe led corporate strategy, development and planning, security operations, and Federal business development. Previously, she was chief strategy officer of Endgame, Inc., a leading enterprise software security company acquired by Elastic. She has led deal teams in private equity and venture capital, including at Zone Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm in Los Angeles, and Paladin Capital Group. Additionally, she is a senior operating partner at Energy Impact Partners, a VC fund investing in companies shaping the energy landscape of the future, and a RangeForce investor. She graduated with honors from Columbia College and holds a JD cum laude from Harvard Law School.
