(the “Company” or “1933 Industries”) (CSE:TGIF)(OTC PINK:TGIFF), a Nevada-focused cannabis cultivator and producer, is pleased to announce that the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) entered into by its wholly owned subsidiary, FN Pharmaceuticals, and Mr. Caleb Zobrist (the “Seller”) to acquire his nine percent (9%) of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Alternative Medicine Association LC (“AMA”) has been amended (refer to news release dated April 8, 2024).

Under the amended terms of the MIPA, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Membership is a total of USD$50,00, payable to the Seller USD$25,000 in cash and USD$25,000 through the issuance of shares of common stock of 1933 Industries (the “Shares”). The final number of Shares to be issued to the Seller is 5,503,450 as determined via the 10 day VWAP price of the Shares on November 27, 2024, being the date the transactions contemplated by the MIPA (the “Transaction”) were approved by the Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board.

The Shares are subject to a hold period in Canada expiring on October 1, 2025. Additional restrictions will apply pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The parties have set the closing date for the Transaction as May 30, 2025. With the completion of the MIPA, FN Pharmaceuticals owns 100% of the membership interest in AMA, the Company’s cultivation and production subsidiary.

As such, the transaction constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of MI 61-101.

The Company intends to rely on exemptions from formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 found in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the transaction does not constitute more than the 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

A new Field Operations & Retail Channel Engagement activation team has launched in Las Vegas to onboard 200 new stores and establish a scalable model for nationwide expansion.

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / GPO Plus, Inc. (OTCQB:GPOX), an AI-powered distributor revolutionizing product delivery to gas stations and convenience stores through its innovative, tech-driven Direct Store Delivery (DSD) model, today announced the deployment of its Field Operations & Retail Channel Engagement sales team (“G-FORCE”) in Las Vegas to drive new retail account growth and deepen market penetration.

G-FORCE is a field-based sales team designed to open new accounts, accelerate product placement, collect data at the store level, and increase revenue. The initial goal is to activate 200 new retail locations across the Las Vegas metropolitan area.

This hands-on activation initiative is part of a larger, coordinated growth strategy now being executed following a strong Q3, where GPOX reported a 30% reduction in operating expenses and a significant increase in gross margins from 15% to 28%. With operations streamlined and margins improving, the company is entering a new expansion phase, and a field activation team is a key growth lever within that framework.

“The field activation team is a critical component of our national rollout strategy,” said Brett H. Pojunis, CEO of GPO Plus, Inc. “This program allows us to scale efficiently, connect directly with high-value retail partners, and apply what we learn to expand rapidly into new markets. Combined with our call center, digital ordering portal, and improved logistics, this strategy gives us a clear edge to open new markets and execute our billion-dollar vision.“

This initiative is designed as a repeatable and scalable model. By deploying trained field teams in densely populated urban markets, GPOX bypasses traditional distribution bottlenecks and establishes direct relationships with independent retailers. The G-Force teams handle store onboarding, product education, merchandising, and order placement-closing the loop between sales strategy and in-store execution. Once the Las Vegas operation reaches maturity, GPOX plans to replicate this model in additional key markets as part of a structured national rollout.

The Las Vegas activation also complements GPOX’s recently launched call center and DISTRO+ Wholesale Portal, both designed to increase velocity and reach across sales channels. Together, these initiatives significantly expand GPOX’s total addressable market (TAM) and provide the scalable infrastructure needed to drive national growth.

Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR)(OTC PINK:DTREF) has updated its Scoping Study for the 100% owned Colosseum Gold Project, increasing the gold price assumption from $2,200/oz in the October 2024 Project Definition Study (PDS) to $2,900/oz for the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS), reflecting recent gold price performance averaging $3,000/oz in 2025 and a long-term consensus forecast. With all other production assumptions unchanged, this results in a 32% increase in sales revenue, a 208% increase in net revenue before tax, a 134% increase in NPV to US$550 million from US$235 million (6.5% discount), and a 96% increase in before-tax internal rate of return (IRR) to 61% from 31%. These outcomes, at a Scoping Study level of confidence, highlight the project’s robust potential as it advances into the BFS.

Table 1: Colosseum Gold Mine Scoping Study – Estimates of Inputs and Outcomes

Note: The following table should be read in conjunction with the cautionary statement below

*** The results presented in Table 1 are estimates only, based on an estimated level of accuracy of +/- 35%, as per the Cautionary Statement below**

Cautionary Statement

The Project Definition Study was undertaken to assess the viability of developing the Colosseum Gold Project by constructing an open cut mine ± underground mine and processing facility to produce gold doré.

It is a preliminary technical and economic study of the potential viability of the Colosseum Project. It is based on technical and economic assessments that are not sufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves. Further exploration and evaluation work and appropriate studies are required before Dateline will be in a position to estimate any Ore Reserves or to provide any assurance of an economic development case.

The Study is based on the material assumptions highlighted in the announcement “Colosseum Scoping Study Delivers Positive Outcomes,” 23 October 2024. While the Company considers all the material assumptions to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated by the Study will be achieved.

There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources, and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realized.

The Study is based on the June 2024 Mineral Resource Estimate, is based on low-level technical and economic assessments, and is insufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Study will be realized.

The Study has been completed to a level of accuracy of +/-35% in line with industry standard accuracy for this stage of development. The Company has reasonable grounds for disclosing a Production Target, given that in the first five years of production, 89% of the mill feed is scheduled from the Measured and Indicated Resource category, which exceeds the economic payback period for the Project by 1.75 years.

Approximately 55% of the Life of Mine Production Target is in the Measured Mineral Resource category, 26% is in the Indicated Mineral Resource category, and 19% is in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. There is a lower level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources, and while the Company considers all the material assumptions in this Study to be based on reasonable grounds, there is no certainty that they will prove to be correct or that the range of outcomes indicated will be achieved.

The Mineral Resources underpinning the production target in the Study have been prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the requirements of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources, and Ore Reserves (JORC Code (2012)). The Competent Person’s Statement is found in the Mineral Resources section of the Study. For full details of the Mineral Resource Estimate, please refer to Dateline’s ASX Announcement dated 6 June 2024.

Dateline confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that release. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that Announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Note that unless otherwise stated, all currency in this Announcement is US dollars.

About Dateline Resources Limited

Dateline Resources Limited (ASX: DTR) is an Australian publicly listed company focused on mining and exploration in North America. The Company owns 100% of the Colosseum Gold-REE Project in California.

The Colosseum Gold Mine is located in the Walker Lane Trend in East San Bernardino County, California. On 6 June 2024, the Company announced to the ASX that the Colosseum Gold Mine has a JORC-2012 compliant Mineral Resource estimate of 27.1Mt @ 1.26g/t Au for 1.1Moz. Of the total Mineral Resource, 455koz @ 1.47g/t Au (41%) are classified as Measured, 281koz @1.21g/t Au (26%) as Indicated, and 364koz @ 1.10g/t Au (33%) as Inferred.

The Colosseum is located less than 10km north of the Mountain Rare Earth mine. Work has commenced on identifying the source of the mantle-derived rocks that are associated with carbonatites and are located at Colosseum.

Scoping Study Authors & Competent Person Statements

This Scoping Study is as defined in Clause 38 of the JORC Code 2012. It refers to the Mineral Resource Estimate announced by Dateline Resources Limited (DTR) on 6 June 2024, but the Production Targets presented do not constitute Ore Reserves as defined in the JORC Code 2012.

Apart from the Mineral Resource Estimate, the PDS was completely compiled by Australian Mine Design and Development Pty Ltd (AMDAD) with information supplied by Dateline, generated by AMDAD, or publicly sourced.

The principal author of the report and supervisor of the work conducted by AMDAD is Mr. John Wyche BE(Min Hon) BComm FAusIMM CP. Mr. Wyche is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He has 37 years of relevant experience in hard rock gold mining.

Mr. Wyche does not hold shares or any other form of equity in Dateline Resources Limited.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. These statements relate to future events or future performance and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the potential of the Colosseum Project, the expected benefits of the OTCQB listing, the company’s plans for future development, and the strategic importance of the project for U.S. critical minerals supply.

Innovative Asset Monitoring Technology Selected by U.S.’s Largest Container Chassis Provider

WATERLOO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) today announced that Direct ChassisLink, Inc. (“DCLI”), the largest provider of container chassis to the U.S. intermodal industry, will deploy BlackBerry® Radar® across 100,000 of its DCL53 domestic 53-foot chassis. The rollout is part of a major initiative DCLI is undertaking to enhance the quality, reliability, visibility and operational efficiency of its fleet, with a view to setting a new freight industry standard for data driven decision-making.

The deployment represents a deepening in the companies’ technological collaboration. DCLI has utilized Radar devices on a subset of its fleet for over five years and after seeing the reliability and intelligence they provide, decided to exponentially increase the number of its chassis deployed with the solution while also recognizing Radar as a top tier supplier.

With the BlackBerry Radar asset monitoring solution, DCLI will gain operational visibility, enabling its customers to optimize asset utilization and deliver more streamlined operations. Thanks to the steady stream of near real-time information Radar provides, DCLI will benefit from precise asset tracking, advanced inventory insights, location-based alerts, and optimized driver and terminal efficiency. Integrated sensors will streamline billing processes and enhance fleet optimization, enabling real-time monitoring of chassis to reduce delays and improve logistics planning.

The rollout of the technology also reinforces DCLI’s commitment to fleet safety and reliability by improving maintenance visibility and response times. This includes preparedness for chassis requiring FMCSA inspections, optimized maintenance scheduling, and enhanced responsiveness for road service – all measures that help minimize downtime, assist with compliance, and help create a safer operating environment for all stakeholders.

“At a time where the freight industry continues to grapple with driver shortages, rising costs, and supply chain disruptions, the need for advanced asset visibility with enhanced fleet management solutions has never been more important,” said Christopher Plaat, SVP and GM of BlackBerry Radar. “With the deployment of Radar, DCLI is taking a vital step in its digital transformation efforts. To that end, we’re excited to demonstrate the countless data-driven insights that can be unlocked when you have improved visibility into the status of your chassis. We look forward to continually improving our platform based on customer use cases and feedback.”

“At DCLI, quality is a top priority, and this initiative reflects our dedication to delivering exceptional value to our customers,” said Lee Newitt, chief executive officer at DCLI. “Equipping our entire DCL53 chassis fleet with GPS technology is a testament to our ongoing mission to lead the intermodal industry with innovative solutions and unparalleled fleet quality.”

BlackBerry Radar is an easy-to-install, asset monitoring solution for chassis, trailers, containers, and railcars, and provides near real-time information around location, cargo load status, motion, mileage, temperature, humidity, door open/close status, handbrake engaged status, and impact events through an intuitive dashboard. A device-agnostic platform that provides customers with a single pane of glass view for their asset management needs, with BlackBerry Radar, all data is transmitted and stored securely on a cloud platform, which maintains the privacy of user information at all times.

Funding will be used for production and company growth in the US and abroad

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network anchored by patented AI-powered Arrive Points™, today announced that it has secured financial backing of up to $40 million from Streeterville Capital, LLC. Access to the capital coincided with Arrive AI’s public debut on Nasdaq on May15, 2025.

“This significant capital injection is one of the reasons we went to the public markets,” said Arrive AI CEO Dan O’Toole. “We celebrate the forward thinking Streeterville is leading with in their major commitment to our vision.”

Streeterville Capital is an investment firm with operations in Utah and Tennessee with investments in companies including Cingulate, the Marygold Companies and Damon Inc. Streeterville Capital President John Fife said he is intrigued with the vast potential of Arrive AI’s solution for package delivery issues like security and efficiency, and the cost savings that can be gleaned.

“This is an exciting answer to problems that are plaguing every industry. Dan and his crew really saw the future coming and worked quickly to meet needs that are starting to be seen around the world,” Fife said. “We’re excited to see how this plays out and are clearly bullish about Arrive AI.”

In 2014, O’Toole filed for his first patent for his concept of an AI-powered, smart mailbox capable of securely accepting packages delivered autonomously, beating similar filings from other potential competitors. Since then, he has built a global team, made multiple iterations and acquired complementary technology to refine the devices now known as “Arrive Points.” The company, which has amassed nearly 5,000 private investors and raised nearly $12 million, has largely generated capital via crowdsourcing. Now that Arrive AI is public a new chapter has begun.

SHELTON, CT / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / Dr. Anil Diwan, President of NanoViricides, Inc. (NYSE Amer.:NNVC ) (the “Company”), comments on the new COVID Vaccine policy adopted by the US FDA.

The new FDA COVID Vaccine Booster Shots policy ^[1] is based on the findings that the groups that benefit from repeat of vaccination (i.e. booster shots) are the groups that are likely to be at risk of severe COVID disease from the virus. These groups include all adults over 65 years of age, and persons over 6 months of age that have one or more co-morbidity factors leading to a disposition towards severe COVID if infected.

The FDA policy notes that the benefit of repeat dosing of vaccine among people with low risk (i.e. healthy adults) is uncertain. As such, the FDA now will require randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials that produce evidence of effectiveness in this healthy adults group if a vaccine is submitted for licensure to include this group.

In the past, the COVID vaccines were approved for all ages above 6 months. This resulted in CDC recommending the COVID vaccines for everyone. Yet, COVID vaccine uptake rate was only about 25% of the eligible persons in the last few years.

Over years of exposure, the population has built immunity due to multiple infections from ever-changing COVID variants as well as multiple vaccinations. An additional booster dose in such population would only make sense if a clear benefit can be proven.

“Evidence-based decision making about vaccine boosters policy for COVID is a welcome change over broadcast vaccine recommendation for all,” commented Anil R. Diwan, Ph.D., President and Executive Chairman of NanoViricides, adding, “This rational and scientific, non-dogmatic approach should go a long way towards restoring public trust in institutions that make decisions that affect peoples’ lives.”

The new policy brings the US FDA policy to be similar to the vaccination policies adopted in most developed countries. Even so, between 100 million to 200 million Americans are estimated to be eligible for boosters because of the broad definition for co-morbidity factors that put a person at high risk of severe COVID, which include obesity, diabetes, asthma, and even mood disorders.

“We believe that when a highly effective antiviral drug against COVID becomes available, the need for vaccination will decrease substantially,” said Dr. Diwan, adding, “Our broad-spectrum antiviral drug NV-387 is poised to become an important solution for multiple viral threats that emerge every season, including Influenzas, Coronaviruses, RSV, MPox, and possibly even Measles!”

About NanoViricides

NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) ( www.nanoviricides.com ) is a clinical stage company that is creating special purpose nanomaterials for antiviral therapy. The Company’s novel nanoviricide™ class of drug candidates and the nanoviricide™ technology are based on intellectual property, technology and proprietary know-how of TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company has a Memorandum of Understanding with TheraCour for the development of drugs based on these technologies for all antiviral infections. The MoU does not include cancer and similar diseases that may have viral origin but require different kinds of treatments.

The Company has obtained broad, exclusive, sub-licensable, field licenses to drugs developed in several licensed fields from TheraCour Pharma, Inc. The Company’s business model is based on licensing technology from TheraCour Pharma Inc. for specific application verticals of specific viruses, as established at its foundation in 2005.

Our lead drug candidate is NV-387, a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that we plan to develop as a treatment of RSV, COVID, Long COVID, Influenza, and other respiratory viral infections, as well as MPOX/Smallpox infections. Our other advanced drug candidate is NV-HHV-1 for the treatment of Shingles. The Company cannot project an exact date for filing an IND for any of its drugs because of dependence on a number of external collaborators and consultants. The Company is currently focused on advancing NV-387 into Phase II human clinical trials.

NV-CoV-2 (API NV-387) is our nanoviricide drug candidate for COVID-19 that does not encapsulate remdesivir. NV-CoV-2-R is our other drug candidate for COVID-19 that is made up of NV-387 with remdesivir encapsulated within its polymeric micelles. The Company believes that since remdesivir is already US FDA approved, our drug candidate encapsulating remdesivir is likely to be an approvable drug, if safety is comparable. Remdesivir is developed by Gilead. The Company has developed both of its own drug candidates NV-CoV-2 and NV-CoV-2-R independently.

The Company is also developing drugs against a number of viral diseases including oral and genital Herpes, viral diseases of the eye including EKC and herpes keratitis, H1N1 swine flu, H5N1 bird flu, seasonal Influenza, HIV, Hepatitis C, Rabies, Dengue fever, and Ebola virus, among others. NanoViricides’ platform technology and programs are based on the TheraCour® nanomedicine technology of TheraCour, which TheraCour licenses from AllExcel. NanoViricides holds a worldwide exclusive perpetual license to this technology for several drugs with specific targeting mechanisms in perpetuity for the treatment of the following human viral diseases: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV/AIDS), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), Rabies, Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), Influenza and Asian Bird Flu Virus, Dengue viruses, Japanese Encephalitis virus, West Nile Virus, Ebola/Marburg viruses, and certain Coronaviruses. The Company intends to obtain a license for RSV, Poxviruses, and/or Enteroviruses if the initial research is successful. As is customary, the Company must state the risk factor that the path to typical drug development of any pharmaceutical product is extremely lengthy and requires substantial capital. As with any drug development efforts by any company, there can be no assurance at this time that any of the Company’s pharmaceutical candidates would show sufficient effectiveness and safety for human clinical development. Further, there can be no assurance at this time that successful results against coronavirus in our lab will lead to successful clinical trials or a successful pharmaceutical product.

This press release contains forward-looking statements that reflect the Company’s current expectation regarding future events. Actual events could differ materially and substantially from those projected herein and depend on a number of factors. Certain statements in this release, and other written or oral statements made by NanoViricides, Inc. are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and which could, and likely will, materially affect actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the company’s expectations include, but are not limited to, those factors that are disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in documents filed by the company from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory authorities. Although it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors, they may include the following: demonstration and proof of principle in preclinical trials that a nanoviricide is safe and effective; successful development of our product candidates; our ability to seek and obtain regulatory approvals, including with respect to the indications we are seeking; the successful commercialization of our product candidates; and market acceptance of our products.

The phrases “safety”, “effectiveness” and equivalent phrases as used in this press release refer to research findings including clinical trials as the customary research usage and do not indicate evaluation of safety or effectiveness by the US FDA.

FDA refers to US Food and Drug Administration. IND application refers to “Investigational New Drug” application. cGMP refers to current Good Manufacturing Practices. CMC refers to “Chemistry, Manufacture, and Controls”. CHMP refers to the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, which is the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) committee responsible for human medicines.
