Veritone Named to Forbes’ 2021 List of Best Small-Cap Companies in America

Strong sales growth, along with a 52-week return of more than 550%, earned Veritone a spot on the Forbes ranking

COSTA MESA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Veritone, Inc. (Nasdaq: VERI), the creator of the world’s first operating system for artificial intelligence, aiWARE™, today announced it has been named to the Forbes 2021 list of America’s Best Small-Cap Companies.

Veritone earned its spot among Forbes’ list of the top 100 high-performing small-cap companies due to its more than 550% 52-week return through November 25, 2020 and its year-over-year revenue growth for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2020. The company’s sales growth was bolstered by its year-over-year SaaS revenue growth of over 40% in its third quarter.

“Veritone’s growth accelerated as 2020 progressed, and by all indications, that acceleration is continuing into 2021, substantiated by expanded use cases of aiWARE into new verticals, including Energy,” said ROTH Capital Partners Managing Director, Senior Research Analyst Darren Aftahi, who covers Veritone.

Forbes evaluated companies with a market value between $300 million and $2 billion, with positive sales growth over a 12-month period and a share price of at least $5. Forbes ranked the top 100 companies based on earnings and sales growth for the latest 12 months and over five years, one- and five-year returns on equity, and 52-week total return, with greater weight given to the latest 12-month and one-year data.

The Forbes ranking follows a year of significant growth for Veritone and its stock.

In June 2020, Veritone was added as a member of the small-cap Russell 2000® Index and broad-market Russell 3000® Index, as part of the 2020 reconstitution of the Russell indexes. Veritone’s stock was also added to the corresponding Russell growth and value indexes.

The Russell 2000 outperformed the S&P 500 in 2020, and Veritone’s stock was a top performer with 1043% growth for the full year of 2020.

“We’re proud to be growing as a company while advancing our mission to build a safer, more vibrant, transparent and empowered society with AI,” said Chad Steelberg, CEO of Veritone. “From growing our presence in the media and entertainment and government, legal and compliance markets, to launching Veritone Energy, 2020 was a banner year for Veritone and we have even bigger things planned for 2021.”

Great Bear Drills Multiple Shallow High-Grade Gold Intercepts at LP Fault Including 16.56 g/t Gold Over 11.00 m; Provides Higher-Density Drill Results and Updated Drill Sections

PR Newswire

TSX-V:  GBR     

VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Great Bear Resources Ltd. (the “Company” or “Great Bear”), (TSXV: GBR) (OTCQX: GTBAF) today reported results from its ongoing $25 million fully funded 2021 exploration program at its 100% owned flagship Dixie Project in the Red Lake district of Ontario.

This news release provides results from 22 additional LP Fault drill holes over 1.2 kilometres of strike length on 13 drill sections.  Great Bear has now published results from 220 LP Fault drill holes and anticipates up to 400 LP Fault drill holes will be completed by the end of 2021.  Figure 1 and Table 1.

The Company also provides new, detailed drill sections in this release, informed by higher-density drilling.  Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5.

Chris Taylor, President and CEO of Great Bear said, “We recently drilled a test panel of 15 densely spaced holes on 25 – 50 metre centres along 100 metres of strike length at the LP Fault to a depth of over 450 vertical metres.  We were very pleased to observe the same continuity of high-grade and bulk tonnage gold mineralization at the finer scale as we had previously seen with more widely spaced drilling.”


Shallow High-Grade Results

Great Bear continues to intersect significant widths of high-grade gold mineralization.  New shallow high-grade drill results between bedrock surface and approximately 150 vertical metres’ depth include:

  • 16.56 g/t gold over 11.00 metres from 162.50 to 173.50 metres in drill hole BR-196 on drill section 21100.
    • This included a high-grade core of 32.90 g/t gold over 3.10 metres from 162.50 to 165.60 metres.
  • 20.24 g/t gold over 7.35 metres from 163.50 to 170.85 metres in drill hole BR-201 on drill section 19950 (1,150 metres southeast of the previous section within the same zone).
    • This included a high-grade core of 211.00 g/t gold over 0.50 metres from 165.00 to 165.50 metres.
  • 25.36 g/t gold over 4.65 metres from 139.35 to 144.00 metres in drill hole BR-206 on drill section 20200 (900 metres southeast of the section 21100 within the same zone).
    • This included a high-grade core of 151.00 g/t gold over 0.50 metres from 140.65 to 141.25 metres. The entire mineralized interval in BR-206 was 5.06 g/t gold over 25.10 metres from 129.40 to 154.50 metres.
  • 18.45 g/t gold over 4.90 metres from bedrock surface (27.10 to 32.00 metres) in drill hole BR-203 on drill section 20200 (also 900 metres southeast of section 21100 within the same zone).
  • 17.11 g/t gold over 5.00 metres from 83.10 to 88.10 metres in drill hole BR-204 on drill section 20150 (950 metres southeast of section 21100 within the same zone).

An updated long section showing the number of drill holes completed within each segment along 4.2 kilometres of the central LP Fault gold zone is provided in Figure 1.  All 211 drill holes completed on this long section have successfully intersected gold mineralization.


High-Density Drill Panel 100 m x 450 m

Great Bear is completing systematic high-density drilling along the LP Fault, including ongoing step-downs which continue to expand the mineralized zone at depth.  Fifteen closely spaced drill holes on sections located 25 – 50 metres apart were completed along 100 metres of strike length on drill sections 20100 to 20200 at depths from bedrock surface to approximately 450 vertical metres.

High-grade and bulk-tonnage style gold intercepts were intersected at all sections and depths and demonstrate excellent continuity of the mineralized zone on these tight drill spacings.  Results include:

  • 1.34 g/t gold over 29.45 metres from bedrock surface (18.00 to 47.45 metres) in drill hole BR-209 on drill section 20100.
  • 1.31 g/t gold over 65.95 metres from 57.05 metres to 123.00 metres in drill hole BR-202 on drill section 20125 (25 metres from previous).
    • This included a high-grade core of 8.48 g/t gold over 4.70 metres from 71.80 to 76.50 metres.
  • 3.24 g/t gold over 19.00 metres from bedrock surface (23.00 to 42.00 metres) in drill hole BR-204 on drill section 20150 (25 metres from previous).
    • A separate shallow high-grade interval of 17.11 g/t gold over 5.00 metres was also intersected from 83.10 to 88.10 metres as disclosed in the “shallow high-grade results” at the start of this release.
  • 1.19 g/t gold over 34.85 metres from bedrock surface (22.15 metres to 57.00 metres) in drill hole BR-208 on drill section 20150 (same section as previous).
    • This included a high-grade core of 10.67 g/t gold over 1.70 metres from 23.30 to 25.00 metres.
  • 1.04 g/t gold over 46.60 metres from 417.00 to 463.60 metres in drill hole BR-221 on drill section 20150 (same section as previous).
    • This included a moderate-grade core of 3.21 g/t gold over 7.80 metres from 443.00 to 450.80 metres.
  • Drill hole BR-223 is a 50 metre (vertical) step-down hole, which expands the mineralized system on drill section 20150 (same section as previous). It intersected multiple mineralized intervals including:
    • 1.60 g/t gold over 21.90 metres from 474.00 to 495.90 metres. This included a high-grade core of 13.27 g/t gold over 1.90 metres from 491.00 to 492.90 metres.
    • A separate interval of 2.44 g/t gold over 34.10 metres from 515.00 to 549.10 metres.
    • This included a high-grade core of 10.53 g/t gold over 6.00 metres from 524.50 to 530.50 metres. This is the deepest LP Fault zone gold intercept to date in this area.
  • 1.02 g/t gold over 21.30 metres from 47.40 to 68.70 metres in drill hole BR-206 on drill section 20200 (50 metres from previous).
    • BR-206 also intersected a separate interval of 25.36 g/t gold over 4.65 metres from 139.35 to 144.00 metres as described in the “shallow high-grade results” at the start of this release.
  • 1.66 g/t gold over 13.00 metres from 223.00 to 236.00 metres in drill hole BR-220 on drill section 20200 (same section as previous).


Additional Drilling

Seven more widely-spaced drill holes were also completed along 500 metres of strike length on drill sections 20625 to 21150.  This drilling is located 450 to 950 metres to the northwest of the holes listed for the previous drill panel.  Results again demonstrate similar high-grade and bulk tonnage type gold mineralization on all sections, at depths from bedrock surface to approximately 420 vertical metres.  Results Include:

  • BR-178 is a 50 metre step-down hole on drill section 20650 (450 metres from previous section) that expands gold mineralization at depth on this section. It intersected:
    • 1.18 g/t gold over 22.20 metres from 446.20 to 468.40 metres in drill hole BR-178
    • This included a high-grade core of 36.40 g/t gold over 1.00 metres from 124.10 to 125.10 metres.
  • 2.57 g/t gold over 22.50 metres from 170.00 to 192.50 metres in drill hole BR-213 on drill section 20700 (50 metres from previous).
    • This included a high-grade core of 9.58 g/t gold over 4.00 metres from 174.50 to 178.50 metres.
    • A separate interval of 1.08 g/t gold over 25.40 metres was intersected from 219.60 to 245.00 metres.
  • Drill hole BR-196 on drill section 21100 (400 metres from previous) intersected 16.56 g/t gold over 11.00 metres from 162.50 to 173.50 metres and was reported in the “shallow high-grade results” at the start of this news release.
  • 1.08 g/t gold over 15.00 metres from bedrock surface (10.00 to 85.00 metres) in drill hole BR-197 on drill section 21100 (same section as previous).
    • This included a high-grade core of 13.60 g/t gold over 1.00 metre from 72.00 to 73.00 metres.
  • 1.50 g/t gold over 49.30 metres from 190.80 to 240.10 metres in drill hole BR-198 on drill section 21150 (50 metres from previous).
    • This included a high-grade core of 16.93 g/t gold over 2.20 metres from 196.00 to 198.20 metres.

* Widths are drill indicated core length, as insufficient drilling has been undertaken to determine true widths at this time.  Average grades are calculated with un-capped gold assays, as insufficient drilling has been completed to determine capping levels for higher grade gold intercepts.  Interval widths are calculated using a 0.10 g/t gold cut-off grade with up to 3 m of internal dilution of zero grade. 

 


New Cross Sections

With many areas of the LP Fault now drilled on 25 to 75 metre centres, a more detailed understanding of gold zone geometries is emerging.  Ongoing drill results demonstrate:

  • To date all drill holes on all drill sections completed into the LP Fault gold system within the approximately 4.2 kilometre long area of current higher density drilling have successfully intersected gold mineralization.
  • Drill section 20150 inFigure 3provides an example of higher-density drill spacing and mineralized zone continuity. Limited additional drilling is expected to be required on this section for mineralized zone modeling to approximately 400 metres depth.

  • Cross section 19925 (located 225 metres to the southeast of section 20150) demonstrates how at some locations along the LP Fault, the main mineralized zone bifurcates into several parallel gold zones which typically extend to bedrock surface.

  • Conversely, cross section 21100 (located 1,175 metres northwest of section 19925 in the same zone), demonstrates how the gold mineralized system consolidates into a single mineralized zone in areas of the LP Fault.
  • Section 21100 also demonstrates how some sections of the LP Fault have yet to be drilled at higher densities. Similar gold zone characteristics are observed on these loosely drilled sections as at more densely drilled sections.

As shown in the Company’s VRIFY model posted to Great Bear’s web site at www.greatbearresources.ca, halos of low grade gold mineralization (0.10 g/t to 1.00 g/t gold) typically also occur adjacent to, and between, the highlight intervals published in news releases.  All of the gold zones at the Dixie Project remain open to expansion.

A complete assay table for all LP Fault drill holes released to date is posted to the Company’s web site at www.greatbearresources.ca.

About the Dixie Project

The Dixie Project is 100% owned, comprised of 9,140 hectares of contiguous claims that extend over 22 kilometres, and is located approximately 25 kilometres southeast of the town of Red Lake, Ontario. The project is accessible year-round via a 15 minute drive on a paved highway which runs the length of the northern claim boundary and a network of well-maintained logging roads.

The Dixie Project hosts two principal styles of gold mineralization:

  • High-grade gold in quartz veins and silica-sulphide replacement zones (Dixie Limb, Hinge and Arrow zones). Hosted by mafic volcanic rocks and localized near regional-scale D2 fold axes. These mineralization styles are also typical of the significant mined deposits of the Red Lake district.
  • High-grade disseminated gold with broad moderate to lower grade envelopes (LP Fault). The LP Fault is a significant gold-hosting structure which has been seismically imaged to extend to 14 kilometres depth (Zeng and Calvert, 2006), and has been interpreted by Great Bear to have up to 18 kilometres of strike length on the Dixie property. High-grade gold mineralization is controlled by structural and geological contacts, and moderate to lower-grade disseminated gold surrounds and flanks the high-grade intervals. The dominant gold-hosting stratigraphy consists of felsic sediments and volcanic units.

About Great Bear

Great Bear Resources Ltd. is a well-financed gold exploration company managed by a team with a track record of success in mineral exploration.  Great Bear is focused in the prolific Red Lake gold district in northwest Ontario, where the company controls over 330 km2 of highly prospective tenure across 5 projects: the flagship Dixie Project (100% owned), the Pakwash Property (earning a 100% interest), the Dedee Property (earning a 100% interest), the Sobel Property (earning a 100% interest), and the Red Lake North Property (earning a 100% interest) all of which are accessible year-round through existing roads.

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols

Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located in Red Lake Ontario.  Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to Activation Laboratories in Ontario, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. All samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods.  Pulps from approximately 5% of the gold mineralized samples are submitted for check analysis to a second lab.  Selected samples are also chosen for duplicate assay from the coarse reject of the original sample.  Selected samples with visible gold are also analyzed with a standard 1 kg metallic screen fire assay.  Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Great Bear’s quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC).  No QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein. 

Qualified Person and NI 43-101 Disclosure

Mr. R. Bob Singh, P.Geo, VP Exploration, and Ms. Andrea Diakow P.Geo, Exploration Manager for Great Bear are the Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the accuracy of technical information contained in this news release.

GenScript Submits Application with FDA for Use of cPass™ SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization Antibody Test in Convalescent Plasma Screening

Novel test detects neutralizing antibodies within an hour

PR Newswire

PISCATAWAY, N.J., Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — GenScript USA Inc., the world’s leading research reagent provider, announced today that it has submitted an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) for use of the cPass™ SARS-CoV-2 Neutralization Antibody Detection Kit in convalescent plasma screening. The kit, which has been authorized by the FDA for emergency use in clinical diagnostics laboratories, is the first commercially available product to specifically detect COVID-19 neutralizing antibodies without the use of live virus. Neutralizing antibodies block the ability of the virus to infect a cell and are widely recognized biomarkers of immunity.

Convalescent plasma from patients who have recovered from COVID-19 may contain antibodies that fight the virus and is often used as a transfusion treatment for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 to speed recovery. However, successful treatment with convalescent plasma has been variable and new tools are needed to help gauge its effectiveness.

“The cPass is a valuable assay for identifying the functionality and level of antibodies in convalescent plasma prior to its use in treatment,” said David Martz, vice president of new product management in the Life Science Group at GenScript. “Convalescent plasma that contains functionally active antibodies that neutralize COVID-19 – rather than binding antibodies that don’t block the virus –  could be more effective than plasma with low or no neutralizing antibodies. This could potentially increase the effectiveness of convalescent plasma treatment, helping patients to recover more quickly.”

The novel cPass test detects neutralizing antibodies in patient samples without the use of live virus. The conventional method of measuring neutralizing antibodies in patient samples requires the use of live cells and a high safety level environment (BSL3). Obtaining results also takes multiple days. In contrast, the cPass™ kit utilizes pure proteins and can be performed in most standard laboratories with a short turnaround time (~1hr).

The cPass kit is also CE marked, and authorized by ANVISA and Health Sciences Authorities in Singapore.

GenScript remains committed to supporting the healthcare community in combatting COVID-19 infections, with a broad portfolio of research and development tools and diagnostics, including the novel cPass kit.

Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking information is often, but not always, identified by the use of words such as “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “estimate”, “expect”, “likely” and “intend” and statements that an event or result “may”, “will”, “should”, “could” or “might” occur or be achieved and other similar expressions. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management as at the date hereof. Forward-looking information in this press release includes, without limiting the foregoing, Real’s preliminary financial results and operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2020..

Forward-looking information is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect, including but not limited to Real’s business objectives, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business projects and opportunities and financial results. Real considers these assumptions to be reasonable in the circumstances. However, forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information. These factors should be carefully considered and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.

Real’s independent auditor, Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co. (A Firm in the Deloitte Global Network), has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to the accompanying preliminary financial results and other data, and accordingly does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

Miravo Healthcare™ Announces the Canadian Commercial Launch of NeoVisc®+ and NeoVisc® ONE for the Treatment of Pain and Improvement of Joint Functionality of the Knee

PR Newswire

MISSISSAUGA, ON, Jan. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Nuvo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: MRV) (OTCQX: MRVFF) d/b/a Miravo Healthcare (Miravo or the Company), a Canadian focused healthcare company with global reach and a diversified portfolio of commercial products, today announced the commercial launch of  NeoVisc+ 2 mL and NeoVisc ONE 4 mL in Canada. Both NeoVisc+ and NeoVisc ONE received Health Canada approval in September 2020 for the treatment of pain and improvement of joint functionality in patients affected by degenerative (age-related changes) or mechanical arthropathy (related to overuse) of the knee.

“We continue to expand our Canadian business with the commercial launch of the two new line extensions of NeoVisc,” said Jesse Ledger, Miravo’s President & Chief Executive Officer. “The launch of NeoVisc+ and NeoVisc ONE provides doctors and patients with innovative options for the treatment of knee pain.”

About NeoVisc

NeoVisc+ and NeoVisc ONE are hyaluronic acid (HA) viscosupplements injected by a licensed healthcare professional into the knee joint. Extensive data in peer reviewed literature indicates that intra-articular administration of HA is capable of restoring the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid, with alleviation of pain and improvement of joint mobility. Viscosupplements are often administered to patients suffering from the effects of osteoarthritis (OA).

NeoVisc is presented in pre-filled syringes containing either 30 mg/2 mL (NeoVisc+) administered at weekly intervals for 3 weeks or a low volume single injection, 60 mg/4 mL (NeoVisc ONE). Both presentations of NeoVisc reduce pain symptoms and improve knee joint functionality for up to 6 months.

OA is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly five million Canadians. Those numbers are increasing: an estimated one in six Canadians will have OA by 2035, with a new diagnosis every 60 seconds. (Arthritis Society of Canada). Historical data indicates approximately 29% of Canadians reported being diagnosed with OA of the knee, with prevalence rates of 13.0% in patients 20-49, 38.3% in patients aged 50-64, rising to 48.7% in those 65 years and older. (Statistics Canada).
