HANOI, VIETNAM - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 December 2023 - In an extraordinary convergence of 60 globally renowned golf legends and hundreds of golf enthusiasts from across the globe, Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023 has etched a unique mark on the international stage. Nestled against the picturesque backdrop of Nha Trang, Khanh Hoa, this remarkable event stands as a testament to Vinpearl Golf's commitment to excellence, transcending the realms of competitive prowess and embracing an unparalleled resort experience amidst the breathtaking allure of Hon Tre. A Golf Extravaganza at Vinpearl Nha Trang Initiating within the esteemed Legends Tour, a premier professional golf tour in Europe, the revered golfing legends commenced their journey to claim the championship cup from the iconic Tram Huong Tower, symbolizing the heart of Khanh Hoa.

After two days of Pro-Am camaraderie with Vietnamese and international golfers, the legendary golfers embarked on three riveting official rounds. Adilson da Silva, the Brazilian maestro, displayed exceptional form, leading the scoreboard after the initial two days and continuing his stellar performance on the final day to claim a deserving victory. The accolades included the Dong Son Bronze Drum replica trophy—a poignant symbol of Vietnamese tradition—and a prize package valued at an impressive 93,500 USD.

Over three days of competition at Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang, 60 legendary golfers delivered awe-inspiring performances, showcasing perfect swings, precise putts, and astonishing ball trajectories. Notably, on the second day of competition, a Hole-In-One (HIO) was recorded at the par 3 Hole 13 by legendary English golfer Malcolm MacKenzie after an exquisite swing. This particular hole, characteristic of Vinpearl Golf Nha Trang, provides a panoramic view of the sea, a sloping terrain towards the green area, and presents various challenges to golfers with wind, undulating terrain, and deep sand traps. Therefore, when the English legend sent the ball over a distance of 150 yards from the green tee straight into the hole, onlookers erupted in cheers, astonishment, and admiration.

This included a splendid stay in luxurious beachfront villas amidst the ocean, overwhelming emotions and awe while enjoying the multimedia Tata Show performance at the renowned VinWonders Nha Trang theme park, health and spirit rejuvenation through premium spa treatments at Akoya Spa, natural mud baths on Hon Tam Island, and indulging in dinners featuring high-quality local specialties and global culinary excellence in the romantic setting of resort restaurants nestled in the bay. Legendary golfer Michael Campbell, ambassador of Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam 2023, who has treaded upon many world-famous beach paradises, did not hesitate to laud Vinpearl Nha Trang: "These experiences are beyond amazing!

Professor David Nutt presents his insights into psychedelic medicine - Neural Therapeutics

Neural Therapeutics Inc.

Neural Therapeutics Scientific Advisory Board Member Professor David Nutt presents fascinating insights into psychedelic medicine and its potential uses. His pioneering research, influencing Australia's adoption of psychedelic medicines, underscores a pivotal moment in mental health care. Nutt highlighted the historical journey of psychedelics, from widespread research in the 1950s and 60s to their banning due to misperceptions about safety and efficacy. This ban, tied to political motives, stifled research for decades. Recent studies, however, have rekindled interest, demonstrating the low harm and high efficacy of psychedelics compared to other substances, particularly in clinical settings. Professor Nutt's work reveals significant breakthroughs in treating conditions like treatment-resistant depression, addiction, and alcoholism using psychedelics like psilocybin and mescaline. His team's studies show unprecedented success rates, often with just a single dose, offering hope for those with chronic mental health issues. These findings are supported by neuroimaging studies that illustrate how psychedelics promote neuroplasticity, enabling the brain to forge new, healthier thought patterns. This revival of psychedelic research marks a revolution in mental health treatment, offering new pathways for those who have not benefited from traditional therapies. The Australian regulatory body's recent approval of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression exemplifies this shift. Nutt's presentation, a blend of historical context, scientific evidence, and a call for compassionate use, heralds a new era in mental health care, emphasizing the potential of psychedelics to transform lives. For further reading, Nutt recommends his co-edited book on psychedelics in psychiatry and a forthcoming book for the general public. The presentation is introduced by Neural Therapeutics CEO and Director Ian Campbell. Neural Therapeutics is a drug-discovery company focusing on plant-based active substances with the goal of delivering beneficial, over-the-counter dietary supplements and psychedelic-based therapeutic medicines to treat serious mental ailments where no significant treatment is available today.

iClima Earth says decarbonisation "bloodbath" is over

HANetf Holdings Limited

iClima Earth CEO Gabriela Herculano speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after publishing the November edition of the "Monthly Dose of Climate Solutions" report - a report she describes as being highly encouraging after a tough period for the decarbonisation sector. She highlights a significant turnaround in the iClima Global Decarbonisation Enablers Index from October to November, saying that the index moved from a "bloodbath in October, to a somewhat green rally in November" following dovish signals from the US Federal Reserve. Herculano anticipates a strong year for fixed income strategists, expecting returns close to historical equity market returns due to potential interest rate cuts. She stresses that sectors underperforming and less sensitive to interest rates, especially in green renewable companies, could experience significant growth in the new year. Herculano cited the energy transition's unpredictability but remained optimistic, noting the daily addition of over one gigawatt of solar energy globally, with a significant portion being solar rooftops in Europe. She also highlighted the surge in electric vehicle sales in the US and the boom in clean energy storage in the US, Europe, and Australia. Herculano anticipates a convergence of investment approaches in 2024, combining energy transition enthusiasm with attractive valuations. She predicts that lower interest rates before the US presidential elections will catalyze a green rally. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

This Award-Winning Vodka Manufacturer Has Multiple Premium Partnerships Under Its Belt, Including A Deal With The Atlanta Braves – And It’s Raising Funds For Expansion

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Click here to learn about Lit Vodka’s crowdfunding campaign, and how to invest! Lit Vodka, the Atlanta distiller, is trying to breathe new life into the market with its high-end Grain-Neutral Spirit (GNS) blend. Distilled ten times using a carbon-filtration process and boasting 40% alcohol by volume, Lit Ultra Premium Vodka is gaining a following thanks to its high-end taste at an affordable price. A big part of its success since launching in 2019 is Lit Vodka’s premium sponsorships aimed at creating a lifestyle brand. Lit Vodka’s team of experienced industry executives knows far too well how hard it is to stand out in the vodka market, particularly when it comes to premium brands. There’s little distinction in taste and quality of top vodkas, so branding is an important differentiator. Taking a page from beer companies that have a long history of sponsoring concerts and sporting events, Lit Vodka is doing the same and getting a lot of exposure along the way. Music, Shows And More Take its multi-year deal with Gas South Arena, the indoor arena in Duluth, Georgia, which it inked in March of 2020. The arena is home to live shows, events and concerts that appeal to diverse audiences. The partnership included branding the entire Club Lounge and the VIP entrances at the arena. As the official featured vodka, Lit Ultra Premium got product placement, interior signage and digital marketing assets. That deal alone built name recognition and drove sales, but Lit Vodka hasn’t rested on its laurels since then. The company recently became the premier vodka of the Atlanta Braves professional baseball team. Visitors to the stadium can get Lit Vodka-infused cocktails at the Lit Bar, Delta Club or Xfinity Lounge. The deal gives it a big presence at Atlanta Braves games and access to thousands of potential customers across several demographics. After all, baseball is one of America’s favorite pastimes that draws crowds from all walks. The Atlanta Braves team is seeing that this year. Statista reports the average home stadium attendance for 2023 at about 39,401, a slight increase from the prior year’s 38,641. Lit Vodka “Hits It Out Of The Park” That deal is poised to give Lit Vodka even more exposure. The Atlanta Braves are hosting the 2025 All-Star game and Lit Vodka will play a big part. “As Lit Vodka partners with the Braves to create an unparalleled fan experience, we look forward to working alongside MLB, local businesses, and the community to craft memorable and impactful experiences for an unforgettable All-Star Week,” the company said on its website. “We'll be sharing event details as they are finalized, so be sure to follow our social channels for the latest updates.” In another big brand-building deal, in October Lit Vodka was the official sponsor and supporting stage sponsor for the 2023 RushSouth Music Fest in Columbus, Georgia, giving it the opportunity to enhance brand visibility and engage with a diverse audience. The strategy seems to be working. The company sold over 4,000 cases within the first 14 months of business. It previously raised $1.7 million in funds and boasts a valuation of $21 million, and is now offering shares through a crowdfunding raise that has already reached nearly $300,000. In the first seven days, the company raised $239,224. High Quality At The Right Price What makes Lit Vodka resonate with consumers is the fact that it can offer high-quality corn-based GNS vodka at an affordable price point. Because the grain is germinated, fermented and then distilled and that’s it, the company says the natural flavors come through with clarity and purity. Lit vodka is American-craft made and distilled 10 times for purity, and boasts 40% alcohol content. Since being launched, the premium yet affordable vodka has won multiple awards, including the 2020 Ultimate Spirits Challenge Great Value Award with a 93 overall score and Silver at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Challenge. It keeps costs down by manufacturing in Georgia and passes along the savings to consumers. Add the lifestyle brand the company is creating through sponsorships and social media to the mix, and it would seem Lit Vodka is cracking the code and reinvigorating a market it believes has not seen enough innovation recently. The vodka market is expected to grow annually by a CAGR of 2.27% from 2023 through 2028, and vodka accounted for the largest amount of volume sales of spirits in the U.S. in 2022. Consumer preferences overall are beginning to shift towards premium alcohol, and Lit Vodka targets this intersection with its unique flavors. Following its previous success, the company says it is now “ready to expand to new territories, grow our marketing strategies, and connect with new demographics,” and it is currently raising funds toward that goal. The company had previously raised $1.7 million in funds. It now boasts a valuation of $21 million and is offering shares through a crowdfunding raise that has already reached nearly $300,000. In the first seven days, the company raised $239,224. Click here to learn about Lit Vodka’s crowdfunding campaign, and how to invest! This post contains sponsored content.

From Staking Land For Tuition To Being One Of Few Royalty Companies Traded For 20+ Years – A Brief History Of Altius Minerals

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In the realm of royalty companies traded on North American exchanges, Altius Minerals (OTCQX: ATUSF) (TSX: ALS) seems to stand out as a reliable leader with a unique story. With over 20 years of experience, Altius has demonstrated its prowess and resilience in the industry. Founded in 1997, Altius Minerals has a rich history and a track record of success in the mining sector. The Birth Of Altius Minerals Altius Minerals began as a project generation business, with a group of geology classmates at Memorial University of Newfoundland staking land to raise funds for their university tuition. Over time, the company transitioned its focus to buying and holding royalties, creating a diversified portfolio of royalty assets that relate to long-life, high-margin operations. Today, Altius Minerals stands as a premier diversified mining royalty company that held to its core project generation business, holding a varied portfolio of royalties on projects ranging from development to exploration stages. The company's royalty interests are mainly in potash, copper, nickel, iron ore, cobalt and lithium – all commodities that belong in a portfolio built around sustainability. A Bold Leap In 1997, the founder of Altius Minerals launched its initial public offering (IPO). The company's IPO showcased its confidence and belief in the potential of its business model, which was purely exploration at the time. The company began as a project generation business, focusing on staking lands and generating value from exploration and development activity. The timing of the IPO could have been a major headwind, as the Canadian mining scandal Bre-X followed in 1997, but Altius continued its project generation activity and received support in the market. “When the market started to get better in 2001 and 2002, we had a bit of a head start on everyone because we’d stayed busy right through the downturn. The market got behind us and we were first able to buy a royalty on Voisey’s Bay in 2003. It was a really big bet for us costing $10 million dollars, which was essentially our full market cap, but we felt comfortable with it. Fast-forward to about 2011 and the end of the big bull run in the market, and we found ourselves with a lot of cash, over $200 million. I can remember we started the cycle with less than a $1 million market cap. The most important thing to remember is that these were profits, not money we raised in the market selling our stock,” shared CEO Brian Dalton about the history of the company. A Different Path Among the myriad of royalty companies, very few have sustained their existence for over 25 years, and Altius knows of only three who continue today under the same CEO since their inception. Altius Minerals is proudly a member of this group, a testament to the vision and leadership of Brian Dalton, who has steered the company to success since its establishment. Similarly, while many royalty companies have chosen to establish their head offices in major business hubs such as Toronto, Vancouver or Denver like Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD), Altius Minerals has kept its headquarters in St. John's, Newfoundland. This decision has allowed Altius to maintain strong ties to its founding roots and leverage the unique advantages offered by its location. Bringing Us To 2023 Following the purchase of that first royalty on Voisey’s Bay, Altius has since acquired an additional 10 royalties in potash, copper and other battery metals and last year recorded royalty revenue of more than CA$ 100 million. With a remarkable journey that began with resourceful geology students staking lands to raise funds, Altius has evolved into a pioneering royalty company with a long-term vision and a good track record of buying royalties at times of low commodity prices and being rewarded as cycles turn. With an unusual history compared to other corporate offices, Altius Minerals continues to set new standards in the world of royalty companies. This post contains sponsored content.

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga Givex Corp (OTCMKTS: GIVXF), an established provider of integrated end-to-end management and customer engagement solutions, recently announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2023, which reflect the company's steady growth and commitment to innovation. Sustained Revenue Growth The third quarter of 2023 saw Givex report a revenue increase of 7% year-over-year (YoY) to $19.6 million. This growth in revenue is in line with the company’s progressive trajectory over the last few years. However, over the nine-month period, revenue grew 13% YoY. Since 2018, Givex has demonstrated consistent growth, with revenue climbing from $41.4 million to $55.2 million in 2022 and $58.2 million through Q3 of 2023, a clear indicator of the company's expanding market presence. Expanding Global Footprint Givex's client base now spans over 100 countries, with more than 128,000 active locations utilizing its services. This diverse and growing client base highlights the global reach and scalability of Givex’s platform. In Q3 2023, the company reported a Gross Transaction Value (GTV) of $1.58 billion, marking an increase from Q3 2022’s $1.34 billion. This growth in GTV, along with an increase in transactions, underscores the robust nature of Givex’s platform and the trust that merchants place in it. Profitability And Efficiency An important aspect of Givex’s financial health is its ability to manage profitability. The company successfully reduced its net loss by 71% to $1 million in Q3 2023 from $3.4 million in the same period the previous year. Over a nine-month period, the net loss decreased by 68%, from $9.9 million to $3.2 million. Such figures reflect the company's focus on optimizing operational efficiencies, particularly in payroll costs, to bolster its earnings and move toward positive net income. Operational Performance In terms of operational performance, Givex's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in Q3 increased by 30% and by 22% over the nine-month period. The company also experienced an 18% growth in total GTV in Q3 and a 22% growth over the nine months. Investor Considerations For potential investors, these figures and the company's trajectory can serve as indicators of Givex’s market position and its potential for future growth. The company’s financial results from Q3 2023 suggest it’s taking meaningful steps toward sustainable growth and profitability, but it’s important to see that trend continue as Givex scales its operations and active locations. As Givex continues to expand its global footprint, investors may find the company's approach to growth and profitability sustainable, especially if it maintains its impressive sub-1% client churn rate. Its emphasis on technological innovation will also be a key factor in driving its long-term value. Givex appears to have a clear strategic direction and a robust operational model and stands as a participant to watch in the payment and customer engagement space. Overall, the latest financial results from Givex demonstrate the company's potential in a competitive landscape. By focusing on delivering integrated solutions and driving efficiency, Givex could be poised to do more than survive but actively shape the commerce technology market.
