VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) (“Irving” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce gold and silver assay results from drilling at the Nanko vein target, Omui Mine Site, part of its 100% controlled Omu Gold Project, Hokkaido, Japan.

Summary
:

• Holes 20OMI-004 and 20OMI-005 were both drilled from the same drill pad at the same north-northeast azimuth as previously announced drill hole 20OMI-003 that encountered multiple high grade veins (please refer to the Company’s news release dated August 13, 2020 for further details). Hole 20OMI-005, drilled at an inclination of 65 degrees, encountered a very long intercept of 81.73 m grading 1.44 gpt Au eq (1.02 gpt Au and 31.29 gpt Ag) beginning at a down hole depth of 27.45 m (please refer to table below). Included within this are several higher grade vein intercepts including 8.42 gpt Au eq (7.05 gpt Au and 102.50 gpt Ag) over 1.60 m, 3.33 gpt Au eq (3.09 gpt Au and 17.89 gpt Ag) over 3.35 m, 7.30 gpt Au eq (5.05 gpt Au and 168.96 gpt Ag) over 1.41 m and 4.85 gpt Au eq (0.84 gpt Au and 300.72 gpt Ag) over 0.65 m. Hole 20OMI-004, with an inclination of -55 degrees, encountered 55.44 m grading 0.72 gpt Au eq (0.52 gpt Au and 15.24 gpt Ag) as well as several narrow higher grade vein intercepts.

* = Previously announced in the Company’s news release dated August 13, 2020

• Figure 1 illustrates the interpreted geometry of the mineralized hot spring system discovered at Nanko. Long mineralized intercepts near the tops of all three holes occur in intensely silicified and brecciated rock that is interpreted to be part of an explosive vent in the upper portion of the hot spring regime. The root structure that likely fed this vent is interpreted to be the high grade vein network encountered somewhat deeper in hole 20OMI-003.
• Individual vein structures encountered in holes 20OMI-003, 20OMI-004 and 20OMI-005 display at least two principal orientations, one trending northwest and the other trending northeast. Irving has recently completed four additional diamond drill holes, 20OMI-006, 20OMI-007, 20OMI-008 and 20OMI-009, in an area approximately 200 meters to the northeast. All of these newer holes have encountered vein mineralization, and Irving believes that some of these veins are extensions of those seen in the three holes discussed above. Irving also believes the veins at Honpi, approximately 600 m to the northwest, are also connected with some veins at Nanko.
• A structural study of the vein system at Omui Mine Site will be conducted early next year. This study is expected to guide next year’s infill and step-out drill program at both the Honpi and Nanko targets.
• Drilling at Omui Mine Site has concluded, and the drill has been repositioned at Omu Sinter where it is scheduled to complete four new holes over the coming months. The first of these holes tests a vertical resistivity feature under hole 20OMS-002, drilled earlier this year, in which 22.9 m grading 0.99 gpt Au eq was encountered in a shallow sinter cap (please refer to the Company’s news release dated April 21, 2020 for further details). Irving believes this feature may be associated with a feeder structure for this hot spring system. A well-deserved drill break is scheduled between December and January for the drill team who have been operating non-stop since COVID-19 travel restrictions were implemented beginning in March of this year.

“Assays from holes 20OMI-004 and 20OMI-005 provide us with a more complete profile of the Nanko hot spring system,” commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, director and technical advisor to Irving Resources. “We clearly have a well-preserve deposit with a large silicified cap and veins underneath. At least two sets of veins are present, one trending generally northwest, and the other, northeast. Recently completed holes approximately 200 m northeast of the Nanko discovery holes have intersected veins that appear to be part of the same network. Assays for these holes are expected back late this year after which time a structural study will be undertaken to better understand the entire vein system at Omui Mine Site. Meanwhile, our drill has moved to Omu Sinter where four holes are scheduled for completion over the coming months.”

The Omu region continues to report no cases of COVID-19, and Irving continues to operate under strict Company guidelines.

All samples discussed in this news release are ½ split sawn diamond core samples. Irving submitted rock samples to ALS Global, Vancouver, Canada, for analysis. Au and Ag were analyzed by fire assay with AA finish. Overlimit samples were assayed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Multielements were analyzed by mass spectrometry following four acid digestion. Irving staff and personnel from Mitsui Mineral Development Engineering Co., Ltd. (MINDECO) are responsible for geologic logging and sampling of core. Au equivalent is calculated by adding Au (gpt) to Ag (gpt)/75. Assay turn around has been slow due to COVID-19 and high throughput demand at the Vancouver laboratory.

Quinton Hennigh (Ph.D., P.Geo.) is the qualified person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 responsible for, and having reviewed and approved, the technical information contained in this news release. Dr. Hennigh is a technical advisor and director of Irving Resources Inc.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DoubleVerify (“DV”), a leading software platform for digital media measurement, data and analytics, today announced the results of a new study examining publisher challenges amid COVID-19. For the study, DV’s Publisher Division commissioned a survey of 300 executives in the digital media sector, including digital publishers and supply-side platforms. The survey was conducted online from September 11-18, 2020. 

Nearly half struggle with billing management, delaying payments

As a result of the coronavirus pandemic impacting marketing plans, many advertisers have paused or reduced campaign spend. While publishers are facing revenue pressure, DV found that payments are being delayed due to challenges with billing. In fact, nearly half (47%) of all respondents stated that their organization “lacks the resources to support the billing and reconciliation process across our customers, causing payment times to increase.”

“Closing the books is one of the biggest operational drains for publishers, seriously impacting revenue and cash flow at the worst possible time,” said Steven Woolway, EVP of Business Development, DoubleVerify. “Publishers and advertisers need to work together to streamline pacing and delivery discrepancies, and to reduce billing cycles.” 

Three-quarters say they spend too much time processing data

Data management remains a key operational and revenue hurdle for publishers. Nearly three-quarters (73%) indicated that their organization spends “too much time manually processing inventory performance and revenue data.” Similarly, 80% stated the excessive time spent on data collection and processing “limits our ability to optimize inventory performance and revenue.” 

“Publishers have to pull disparate data from all of these scattered connections, including DSPs, SSPs, and exchanges, then they have to consolidate, organize and normalize that data,” said Woolway. “It’s a cumbersome and repetitive process that takes resources away from more revenue-producing initiatives.” 

Communication is biggest campaign delivery challenge 

While the majority (67%) of respondents rated their organization’s campaign delivery process (the management of developing, running and measuring campaigns) positively, one-third (33%) described it negatively, as either “poor” or “fair.” The greatest campaign delivery challenges cited were “communication and synchronization across internal and external parties” (3.63 average ranking with 1 being the most challenging and 7 the least) and “not enough time to focus on analysis and optimization” (3.83 average ranking). 

“From pre-launch planning to troubleshooting, communication misalignment on campaign delivery can undercut a publisher’s ability to meet the buyer’s goals,” said Pieter Mees, VP Video & Publisher Product, DoubleVerify. “Publishers, advertisers and vendors need to be clear and transparent with one another to satisfy objectives and expectations. Publishers also said they don’t have sufficient time to analyze and optimize campaign delivery, which is critical. This could stem from time spent on onerous, manual activities, like data processing.” 

Publishers cite impression-level fraud as a key threat 

When asked whether real-time inventory quality data (e.g., viewability, brand safety, invalid traffic, etc.) was easily accessible for optimization, 80% of publishers responded that it was. However, there were some challenges – namely “lack of consistent media quality measurement methodologies between advertiser clients” (2.84 average ranking with 1 being the most challenging and 5 the least) and “the ability to proactively identify and troubleshoot impression-level fraud issues” (2.92 average ranking). 

“Different advertisers often use a different combination of solutions to evaluate media quality or performance, impacting a publisher’s ability to make sense of how their inventory is viewed or deliver on goals,” said Mees. “To solve for that, publishers would benefit from better data pipelines and the ability to investigate data discrepancies to streamline their workflows and maximize their media’s performance.”

On the issue of fraud, Mees added, “Ad fraud isn’t just a buyer issue – it also eats into a publisher’s resources and monetization opportunities. Like advertisers do, publishers also benefit from technology to easily identify and act on invalid traffic to prevent fraud in real-time. This helps them prove the value of their inventory to media buyers.” 

In August, DoubleVerify announced its publisher division to spearhead the company’s relationship with the publisher community, and to lead product innovation efforts designed to help publishers maximize revenue yield and reduce friction with buyers. The division features over 60 employees globally developing actionable insights and supporting R&D and engineering, all in service of helping publishers improve transparency, increase efficiency and maximize inventory monetization. DV serves over 110 publishers, including more than half of the top-100 Comscore-ranked web publishers – fortified through the company’s acquisition of Ad-Juster in 2019.

These materials will become safe and effective surfaces for IT devices such as cases for cell phones and tablets that are touched frequently. SINTX and Iwatani aim to create surfaces that resist bacteria and viruses. The successful development of these products may help prevent and reduce the spread of respiratory diseases like SARS-CoV-2, Influenza A, and H1N1 by inactivating viruses and bacteria on the polymer surfaces.

“We are pleased to enter this joint development agreement with Iwatani, toward developing new products that leverage the intrinsic antipathogenic properties of silicon nitride,” said Dr. Bal. “The collaboration with Iwatani is intended to directly apply our material science expertise toward new product development and revenues, a very significant and exciting move for SINTX.”

SINTX and Iwatani intend to capitalize on recent and promising data demonstrating the potential of SINTX AP²silicon nitride powder to inactivate the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic. Studies showing the rapid inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 by SINTX’s silicon nitride are the latest in a series of papers showing similar activity of silicon nitride against a variety of bacteria and viral strains. SINTX and Iwatani plan to jointly fund collaborative product development activities in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Japan with the support of external laboratories as well.

SINTX notes they are working diligently to incorporate silicon nitride into several products such as masks and consumer electronic products and other surfaces that will help inactivate respiratory pathogens. The joint development agreement between Iwatani and SINTX will help SINTX advance their materials science, while external partners like Iwatani develop commercial products that can help protect the worldwide community against viral diseases.

About EnWave

EnWave Corporation, a Vancouver-based advanced technology company, has developed a Radiant Energy Vacuum (“REV™”) – an innovative, proprietary method for the precise dehydration of organic materials. EnWave has further developed patent-pending methods for uniformly drying and decontaminating cannabis through the use of REV™ technology, shortening the time from harvest to marketable cannabis products.

REV™ technology’s commercial viability has been demonstrated and is growing rapidly across several market verticals in the food, and pharmaceutical sectors, including legal cannabis. EnWave’s strategy is to sign royalty-bearing commercial licenses with innovative, disruptive companies in multiple verticals for the use of REV™ technology. The company has signed over thirty royalty-bearing licenses to date. In addition to these licenses, EnWave established a Limited Liability Corporation, NutraDried Food Company, LLC, to manufacture, market and sell all-natural dairy snack products in the United States, including the Moon Cheese^® brand.

EnWave has introduced REV™ as a disruptive dehydration platform in the food and cannabis sectors: faster and cheaper than freeze drying, with better end product quality than air drying or spray drying. EnWave currently offers two distinct commercial REV™ platforms:

1. nutraREV^® which is a drum-based system that dehydrates organic materials quickly and at low-cost, while maintaining high levels of nutrition, taste, texture and colour; and,
2. quantaREV^® which is a tray-based system used for continuous, high-volume low-temperature drying.

About the mSToPS Study

Researchers at the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) conducted the study in partnership with collaborators, Aetna and Janssen Pharmaceuticals. The innovative study design demonstrated that the digital solution enabled by Zio effectively monitored a large and geographically dispersed population of patients who had risk factors for AF. 

The study involved 5,214 eligible Aetna members who were identified through claims data to have risk factors for AF but had not been previously diagnosed. 1,738 individuals were enrolled via a web-based platform to undergo either immediate or delayed active ECG monitoring at home for up to 4 weeks with a Zio XT patch monitor (two-week monitoring periods spaced four months apart). Each monitored participant was matched with two non-monitored participants with a similar CHA2DS2-VASc, a standardized stroke-risk assessment score, to act as controls. 

The study looked at the time to first diagnosis of AF and its clinical consequences for the active monitoring cohort as well as the cohort undergoing usual care.
