Immunic CEO Dr Daniel Vitt marks International Day of Immunology with discussion on its crucial role

Immunic Inc

Immunic Inc CEO Dr Daniel Vitt joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion on the International Day of Immunology to discuss the broad and crucial role of immunology in human health. Vitt said immunology encompasses immune responses against pathogens like viruses, including the coronavirus, and also plays a significant role in combating cancer. He highlighted the importance of the immune system in managing and preventing autoimmune diseases, where the body mistakenly attacks its own cells, leading to various conditions. Focusing on Immunic's efforts, Vitt detailed their drug development pipeline, particularly in addressing chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and celiac disease. He spotlighted multiple sclerosis, with ongoing phase three studies in its relapsing form and a phase two study, named the CALLIPER trial, for its progressive form. The latter holds particular promise as it targets an area with currently no available treatments. For celiac disease, Vitt reported promising results from a phase one B proof-of-concept study that showed positive data across various metrics, including histology and biomarker levels. Plans are underway for further phase two studies in celiac disease and potentially other indications. Vitt also shared his personal journey from chemistry to immunology, driven by the potential to develop drugs that address significant medical needs.

Vinanz Ltd. Expands Bitcoin Mining Operations in North America

Vinanz Ltd

Vinanz Limited Executive Chairman David Lenigas joined Steve Darling from Proactive at our OTC studio in New York City to discuss the company's recent developments. Vinanz is a London-based Bitcoin mining company with a dual listing on the OTCQB. Lenigas outlined Vinanz's strategic positioning primarily in North America, with operations in Nebraska and Labrador, Canada. The company recently obtained DTC eligibility, which enhances its market presence, particularly in the U.S., and supports its market capitalization and growth objectives. Lenigas highlighted Vinanz's focus on expanding its North American operations by adding clusters of 250 to 500 Bitcoin miners across various states and provinces. Despite the typical reduction in Bitcoin production during a recent 'halving' event, Vinanz experienced an initial increase in production in Canada, which Lenigas attributed to overclocking older machines to enhance performance by 15-20%. Although this anomaly was short-lived, production stabilized at a higher-than-expected rate, reflecting the company's commitment to leveraging innovative technologies and maintaining competitive electricity costs. Looking ahead, Vinanz plans to significantly expand and install new mining equipment to enhance efficiency and productivity. The company remains committed to its strategic growth trajectory and aims to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the Bitcoin mining sector.

The Company Driving Blockchain Adoption in Spain: Unknown Gravity

500NewsWire

BLOCKCHAIN, THE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS CHANGING THE WORLD Blockchain is the most disruptive technology that has been created since the emergence of the Internet in the last century. This technology was designed for decentralized data storage, in a public, secure and immutable way. Therefore, it is the technology behind Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. For years, large corporations and banks have explored its possibilities and applications in the real world, achieving several significant use cases. Blockchain technology is based on a chain of blocks that stores operations by stacking blocks in a continuous and decentralized manner. This type of database has the advantage of being public and immutable, which allows third parties to verify the data stored there, in each of the blocks of the chain. Hence, its main usefulness is that it is seen as a large, unalterable, and shared accounting book with operations that a large number of computers record simultaneously. While it is true that understanding this technology and managing it can be intimidating for some people, the multidisciplinary team at Unknown Gravity are true experts in developing applications under blockchain. THE COMPANY THAT IS DRIVING CHANGE Unknown Gravity is a revolutionary blockchain company that is changing the way this decentralized technology is viewed and used in Spain, offering top-level solutions to provide cutting-edge products and services.

Likewise, marketing and design services, which include Content Creation, Social Media, Branding, and Search Engine Optimization (SEO), are designed to provide blockchain solutions and projects fully online and in the production stage. With Unknown Gravity, companies that are starting to create projects based on blockchain will not have the need to invest time and resources in acquiring the know-how of this technology, so they will have more time to exploit its benefits.

DV Silver CEO Shawn Khunkhun: "Value-creation is Done Through Growing Your Mineral Inventory"

Dolly Varden Silver Corporation

April 29, 2024 – TheNews w ire – Global Stocks News – On April 23, 2023 Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV:DV) (OTC:DOLLF) announced plans for its 2024 exploration drilling program at its 100% owned Kitsault Valley Project. Key Highlights: Three drill rigs mobilising  Initial 25,000 meters diamond drilling planned  Follow up on new discoveries  Focus on Homestake Silver and Wolf Deposits  Low snow packs allow for earlier than usual start in May  “ The drill program will be split approximately 50/50 between the Dolly Varden Property and the Homestake Ridge Property,” states DV, “with an overall project split of 1/3 to Homestake Silver deposit area, 1/3 to Wolf deposit area and 1/3 to project wide exploration targets with new discovery potential.” "Our drill results from Homestake Silver were among the highest-grade gold and silver intercepts anywhere in the Golden Triangle in 2023,” states Dolly Varden CEO Shawn Khunkhun. According to the Corporate Finance Institute (CFI), the five key responsibilities of a CEO are: 1. Setting and Executing Organizational Strategy, 2. Build the Senior Leadership Team, 3. Making Capital Allocation Decisions, 4. Setting Vision, Values, and Corporate Culture and 5. Communicating Effectively with All Stakeholders. In the junior markets, it is rare to find a CEO who excels at all five things. Commonly, #5 (Stakeholder Communication) is a glaring weakness. Typically, you find biotech geniuses, technology disrupters and brilliant geologists who are awkward, clumsy communicators. Shawn Khunkhun was appointed the DV SIlver CEO position on February 18, 2020, during a period of depressed metal prices.  Since then, he has proved to be demonstratively good at all five parts of his job, including communication to the investment community. Click Image To View Full Size   Wolf Vein At the Wolf Vein, drilling is planned to delineate the width and extent of the southerly plunge of wider and higher-grade silver mineralization. Step out holes that define the trace of the plunge are spaced so that any new mineralization can be included in a future resource update. The Company will implement directional drilling technology with the objective of more cost effective and accurate exploration at Wolf, particularly for deep holes. Figure 2. Previously released result highlights (2022 and 2023) on Wolf Vein long section looking northwest showing open zones for follow up and trace of wider, higher-grade plunge as black line. Homestake Silver The program planned for Homestake Silver will start with follow up drilling on the newly discovered gold zone at the northern extent of deposit, where coarse-grained native gold in late-stage quartz-carbonate veins (Figure 3.) returned grades of 1,335 g/t Au and 781 g/t Ag over 0.68 meters within a wider interval of stockwork grading 79.49 g/t Au and 60 g/t Ag over 12.45 meters in drill hole HR23-389. Figure 3. Visible Gold in quartz carbonate vein from drillhole HR23-389 at 410.00m depth. The second part of Homestake Silver drilling will be resource expansion and upgrade holes that target the low angle, north dipping plunge of wide and high-grade gold and silver mineralization encountered in 2023 (Figure 4.). Figure 4. Homestake Ridge Long section looking southwest showing previous results of wide, higher grade plunge and new gold zone at Homestake Silver with 2024 target areas. Exploration Targets including Moose Vein The Moose Vein is located 1.5 km up north of the Wolf Vein and is interpreted to be hosted within a similar cross cutting structure as Wolf. Other Exploration targets on both the Homestake Ridge and Dolly Varden properties include targets within the 5.4 km long area between the southern end of Homestake Silver and Wolf Vein. Shawn KhunKhun recently spoke with Kerry Lutz, a lawyer and entrepreneur who is now the CEO of “The Financial Survival Network”, providing “an alternative to Wall Street’s always-be-buying mantra.” “Primary silver mines are rare,” Khunkhun told Lutz. “They only represent about 28% of the market. We're located in Canada, that has stable mining laws.  We are up North in British Columbia where there are not a lot of tourists.  We've demonstrated size through acquisition and discoveries.” “This has led to a lot of notable shareholders,” continued Khunkhun. “Including Hecla, Eric Sprott and institutions like Fidelity.” On November 2, 2023 Dolly Varden Silver announced that it has closed a deal where Hecla Canada invested $10 million in DV Silver, raising its stake in DV Silver from 10.6% to 15.7%. Hecla Mining has a market cap of USD $3.13 billion and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It is on track to produce 17 million ounces of silver in 2024. “Hecla’s increased ownership stake is a benefit to us,” Khunkhun told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News. “Hecla has demonstrated it is a sticky shareholder. They're looking to expand their North American silver portfolio. ” Click Image To View Full Size   “V alue-creation is done through growing your mineral inventory, or growing your production,” Khunkhun told Lutz, “Dolly Varden is trading at about $1 an ounce in the ground.  The average company trades about $4 an ounce in the ground. If I can find more silver for pennies an ounce in the ground, there is a likelihood we’re going to be revalued.” “Our priority with this early [drilling] start is to continue with step-outs as well as infill drilling to confirm continuity of the potentially bulk-mineable mineralization,” stated Khunkhun in the April 23, 2024 press release. “Further south, silver mineralization at Wolf remains wide open for expansion and this seasons' introduction of directional drilling technology will allow for highly accurate placement of drill intercepts.” The currently gold/silver price ratio is 85. “ For the whole of the 20th century, the average gold-silver ratio was 47:1,” reports Investopedia. “In the 21st century, the ratio has ranged mainly between the levels of 50:1 and 70:1. With gold trading at USD $2,350/ounce – 95% of its April 12, 2024 all-time-high of $2,440 - and silver trading at USD $27/ounce, about 60% of its all-time high, it may be an advantageous time in to invest in silver equities.

IZEA (NASDAQ: IZEA) Defied Critics And Naysayers As It Helped Pioneer Influencer Marketing In 2004 – Here’s What It Sees Next In The Industry’s Evolution

Benzinga

By James Blacker, Benzinga The 21 st century has witnessed the rise of influencer marketing as a vital tool for brands seeking to boost their online visibility and reach new audiences. It has evolved from a niche strategy into a multi-billion-dollar industry that shapes consumer behavior worldwide. And it’s showing no signs of slowing down, with a projected CAGR of 31.78% over 2024-2029 that would bring the market size to $94.21 billion as businesses of all sizes leverage the advantages it provides. In a nutshell, influencers are individuals who have a significant social media presence and a dedicated follower base and, therefore, have the power to affect purchasing habits by posting content on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. While traditional advertising using celebrity endorsements can sometimes be seen as unrelatable by the everyday individual, influencers can deliver content that is perceived to be more authentic and relatable. Just two decades ago, however, this phenomenon was still in its infancy. Early Seeds Of Influence IZEA Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA) Founder and CEO Ted Murphy recognized early on that independent creators were starting to hold more and more sway over public perception. In 2004, he created the concept of “e-seeding” within his interactive agency. This involved leveraging the influence of bloggers and MySpace celebrities to promote brands. The following year, in 2005 he launched the BlogStar Network, a database of bloggers that the team would reference to send out offers and manually negotiate brand deals. This approach was initially successful, but scaling this type of marketing would require technology. PayPerPost And Industry Disruption In 2006, Murphy created the first influencer marketing platform called PayPerPost – a marketplace that paid bloggers to create content for brands. Initially, sponsored social media content was widely viewed with skepticism. In an era when social media was still free of advertising, Murphy was attacked by many in the industry who were concerned that this new model would lead to a flood of inauthentic content on the internet. Despite raising significant funding and introducing the first disclosure policy in the first year, it still seemed that the industry was against Murphy and unable to see his vision, with countless negative articles written about PayPerPost in that year. Expansion And Recognition In 2007, the company rebranded as IZEA. In the same year, it created a new platform called SocialSpark in response to the rise of Twitter and other social media channels. Two years later in 2009, as demand for Twitter campaigns increased, IZEA launched SponsoredTweets.com. It was around this time that the industry started to take influencer marketing more seriously, and over the next few years, more and more publications began to offer sponsored posts, including the early critics. Today, influencer marketing is a growing multi-billion-dollar space. According to IZEA’s historical transaction data, the average cost of a sponsored blog post grew 98X in the first decade, from $7.39 in 2006 to $726 in 2016. The average cost hit $1,492 in 2022 and has continued to rise, with some creators charging tens of thousands of dollars for a single post. Looking Ahead Speaking at the Adweek Creatorverse event in 2023, Murphy noted that the influencer marketing industry is set to undergo significant changes in the coming years with rapid improvements in AI technology. Research carried out by IZEA Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: IZEA) indicates that 66% of influencers are already using AI in their daily life. Furthermore, 38% are using AI to generate images. While the technology is still developing, creators will likely soon be able to use AI to produce realistic images of themselves, anywhere in the world, doing anything. As the industry adopts this new technology, the same concerns over authenticity, content quality and disclosure are sure to arise. However, in Murphy’s words: “The magic that happens when you give people access to new technology, the opportunity that spews from disruption — you can choose to ignore it, you can try to run from it, or embrace it.” Featured photo by dole777 on Unsplash.
