San Diego, California, August 23 , 2016 – (Investorideas Newswire) Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) (“Gopher” and the "Company”), a development-stage Company which specializes in the development of real-time, heuristic-based mobile technologies, and its partners, Guardian Patch LLC (“Guardian”) and Alpha EDA, LLC (“Alpha”), which previously announced on July 27, 2016 that they had completed the design and construction of version I of PUZPIX, a unique social media game based on their GOPHERINSIGHT™ integrated circuit technology, announced today that the PUZPIX website, http://www.puzpix.com/, has been launched and is fully operational.  PUZPIX can be downloaded on both the Apple store and on Google Play under the name “PUZPIX”.

PUZPIX is a social media game based on GOPHERINSIGHT™ technology licensed by the Company. The game uses a computerized framework to create a puzzle from images that users upload onto the system’s server. The user creates an account and has the option to store images in the designated "FRIENDS" area and/or in the designated ALL (public) area. Only approved friends will be granted access to the images in the FRIENDS area and all players have access to the ALL area. Upon a user’s request, the system turns an image into a puzzle of at least nine pieces, though more challenging puzzles can be made once the user achieves a higher level of skill.

As detailed in our recent quarterly report filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, PUZPIX represents a joint venture between Gopher and Alpha. The Company, Guardian and Alpha have agreed that all Epsilon EDA and PUZPIX intellectual property rights will be assigned to Alpha (Epsilon EDA was developed in connection with the Company's mobile IC technology for the purpose of reducing power consumption and to provide optimal heat control).  Alpha and the Company agreed to enter into a Joint Venture ("JV") agreement similar to the Guardian Patch JV agreement, pursuant to which Alpha will fund all of its operational and developmental needs (software development, support, marketing and administrative) and the profits of Alpha will be distributed equally to the two equal JV partners.  Alpha will hold all intellectual property rights related to software. Currently, two products will be owned by Alpha, the Epsilon software and the PUZPIX social game.

The Company, through Alpha, has also begun initial development and testing on an advanced version II of PUZPIX, which if developed, would include a GPS base tracking technology. The Company envisions that the inclusion of such a tracking technology in PUZPIX would require users to venture outdoors in order to find and collect puzzle pieces. Upon the Company and its partners launching the GopherInsight™ integrated circuit technology, the Company also hopes to develop a version III of PUZPIX to include domestic/ international exchanges of puzzle pieces that could be shared worldwide.

PUZPIX offers its users entertainment, education, interaction and most off all, fun. The experience is even more enjoyable when two or more players collaborate on the same puzzle.  The system offers high-quality sound effects, tactile feedback and other experiences that make it all the more rewarding.”, said Dr. Rittman, the CTO of the Company.  Being a social media game, but still a derivative of the GOPHERINSIGHT™ technology, PUZPIX represents for us a lab prototype examining system that will manage databases of all types including media, textual, graphical and secured communication information.” Continued DR. Rittman. “In addition to our designated Facebook page for PUZPIX (“PUZPIXAPP”), we have also released a short informational video about the game that can be watched on the following link: https://youtu.be/5zrJH827le4 .“, advised Dr. Rittman.


PUZPIX is protected through a patent in connection with the Company's development of a system, method and software application for mobile database management and sharing over a private, secured network. The patent contemplates that a system will manage databases of all types including media, textual, graphical and secured communication information. The system will work with a proprietary integrated circuit (IC) within mobile devices. Working together with the IC and the mobile software application, it is the intent that the system will share all mobile database types with all other, same mobile ICs that are installed on other mobile devices, worldwide, via its own private, secured, encrypted protocol.

#CYPRIUMMINING @CypriumMining (#TSX: $CUG.V) ANNOUNCES OXIDE ZINC ASSAYS RESULTS AVERAGING 30.2%

#CYPRIUMMINING @CypriumMining (#TSX: $CUG.V) ANNOUNCES OXIDE ZINC ASSAYS RESULTS AVERAGING 30.2%



Montreal, Quebec - August 22, 2016 – (Investorideas Newswire) Cyprium Mining Corporation (“Cyprium” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: CUG) is pleased to announce the results from additional underground samples taken from an oxidized zinc body on level 14 as part of its ongoing exploration program of the Potosi silver mine located in the historic Santa Eulalia, Mexico.

The thirty six samples were taken from two historic stopes on level 14 of the Santo Domingo body, and averaged 30.2% Zn over an average sample width of 3.00 m.  Two samples assayed less than 10% zinc and two samples were below detection levels for the zinc assay utilized, and 0 was used in the calculation of the average.  If the two samples with zinc assays below detection are left out, the average is 32.0% zinc for the remaining 34 samples. 

Assay results for nine samples of similar zinc oxide material from a third smaller stope on the same level assayed 37% zinc as previously announced (see News Release of June 20, 2016).  The oxide zinc material is mainly hemimorphite, a zinc silicate mineral, and contains variable but generally low concentrations of lead, iron, manganese and arsenic. Oxidized zinc material is different from the more usual zinc sulfide produced by flotation in most zinc mines and requires different processing techniques to recover the zinc metal. The results announced today are part of an ongoing exploration program to evaluate the potential of known mineralized areas.

Mr. Alain Lambert, Chairman and CEO of Cyprium commented: “The three areas where we are currently focusing our exploration efforts inside the mine are the Tunel body at level 2 to 4, the oxide zinc body on level 14 and the sulfide mineralization in the Santo Domingo body, also known as Main Silicate body. The Santo Domingo body, which was partly mined in the past on levels 6, 9, 10 and 11, assumes top priority in terms of evaluation and preparations for exploitation.”

Results of sampling from the Santo Domingo body taken during the due diligence period prior to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company’s Potosi joint venture, were previously announced and showed significant silver, lead and zinc values (see News Releases of August 12th and September 3rd, 2015) as summarized in the table below.

Weighted averages for samples from the Santo Domingo body and released previously as indicated in text.

The primary objective of the 2015 exploration program at level 9 and 10 was to audit past exploration results from over five hundred samples taken in 2014 by an independent third-party. The audit sampling included taking twenty-five duplicate samples of the 2014 program.

The sample audit consisted of ten samples from level 9 and fifteen samples from level 10. The ten samples from level 9 gave a weighted average of 246 g/t Ag, 4.3% Pb and 4.3% Zn over an average sample width of 1.12 meters, while those taken by the independent third party yielded averages of 290 g/t Ag, 5.46% Pb and 3.45% Zn for the corresponding samples. The fifteen samples from level 10 yielded 78 g/t Ag, 3.3% Pb and 4.1% Zn over an average sample width of 1.16 meters, while those taken by the independent third party yielded 187 g/t Ag, 3.44% Pb and 4.31% Zn. The Company does not have laboratory certificates or analytical methods for the third party samples.

The 2015 underground exploration program also consisted of thirteen channel samples taken on level 6 and 11 of the mine. Three samples from level 6 gave a weighted average of 733 g/t Ag, 1.12% Pb and 0.53% Zn over an average sample width of 1.53 meters, while a sample taken from a stockpile located on level 6 yielded 376 g/t Ag, 0.75% Pb and 1.66% Zn. The nine samples from level 11 yielded 45.5 g/t Ag, 2.02% Pb and 4.10% Zn over an average sample width of 1.84 meters.

The Santo Domingo body is not accessed by the recently rehabilitated Potosi No. 3 shaft that will be used to provide services such as compressed air and for haulage of broken mineralized rock from Tunel body on levels 2-4 (see News Releases of June 9 and Jun13, 2016) where underground exploration and development has begun.  Past production from the Santo Domingo body was from the Potosi No. 1 and Potosi No. 5 shafts and from the Buena Tierra shaft on neighboring ground controlled by Grupo Mexico. Proposals for gaining shaft access to the Santo Domingo body are currently in consideration. 

Mineralization in the area is exposed in a large chimney that extends over several levels. Although most of the mineralization on the upper levels of the Potosi mine is oxidized, local areas with preserved sulfides on the upper levels were discovered in the last few decades (1).  The main exposures of sulfide mineralization studied to date are on levels 9 to 11, but the sulfide material also extends upward to level 6. Such sulfide orebodies were not economically exploitable prior to the advent of selective flotation in the early 1900’s and were evidently left behind for this reason and later forgotten.  These “perched” sulfide bodies were possibly preserved due to the vagaries of past oxidation.

Efforts are underway to determine the volume and grades of remaining sulfide material as part of a NI 43-101 resource calculation planned by the end of the year.

The workings discussed in this press release are shown on a composite projection in different colors for each level, and include the main adit and 0 level tunnel, Potosi shafts No. 3 and No. 1, and the stopes on levels 2-4 (Tunel body), 6 and 9-10 (Santo Domingo or Main Silicate body).

The Santa Eulalia District
Santa Eulalia is a world class polymetallic mining district located in the central part of the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, approximately twenty-two kilometers east of the City of Chihuahua. Mineralization in the area was originally discovered during the Spanish colonial period in the 1500’s, and recorded production has occurred over more than 300 years. Santa Eulalia ranks as one of Mexico's primary silver and base metal producing districts with nearly 450 million ounces of silver and substantial amounts of lead and zinc mined. The nature of the deposit in the Santa Eulalia district is a carbonate replacement deposit and is the historically largest of its type in Mexico. Mineralization occurs in an area about 10 km in length and 5 km in width.  Production and reserves for the district have been estimated to be about 50 million metric tons (2) with grades of 125-350 g/t Ag, 2-8% Pb and 3-12% Zn (2) (3), along with appreciable quantities of tin and vanadium. 

The Santa Eulalia district covers approximately forty-eight square kilometers and is divided into three areas, the West Camp, the Central Camp and the East Camp. The Potosi silver mine is located in the West Camp. The West Camp has produced most of the minerals from the district from an area 4 km long in a north-south direction and 2 km wide in an east-west direction, with the Potosi silver mine being one of the primary producers.

Based on the geology, past mining activity and the exploration work completed by the Company to date, the Potosi mine, the Company believes that the project warrants further exploration. Widely spaced sampling on levels 3-4 in the area of the Potosi #3 shaft (Tunel body) and levels 6 and 9-11 in the area of the Potosi #1 shaft (Santo Domingo or Main Silicate body) has shown that mineralized material of interesting grades is exposed at the margins old stopes and adjacent areas, and this work will continue in order to evaluate the potential for defining resources. 

Geological Setting, Deposit Type and Mineralization
Mineralization in the Santa Eulalia district is characterized by massive sulfides, dominantly pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena and pyrite that are hosted mainly in horizontal mantos and steep chimneys of sulfide material that replace limestone, with some breccia bodies also occurring.  Mineralized bodies occur along laterally continuous discrete structural zones that mainly trend in a north-south orientation, with mineralization forming preferentially in certain stratigraphic units.  Past mining has reached to as much as 700 meters depth below the surface on 21 levels.  Production in the West camp was diminished until the late 80’s with the discovery of new mineralization.  Currently there is little production in the district.

National Policy 43-101 Report
Cyprium has recently filed on SEDAR a National Instrument 43-101 report with respect to the initial mine levels 2, 3 and 4 of the Potosi silver mine.  The report, prepared by Dr. Craig Gibson, does not contain a resource or reserve calculation.

Quality Assurance and Control
Samples taken in underground workings are typically channel samples.  Sample cuttings consist of rock chips taken along pre-marked channels approximately 15-20 cm in width that span the mineralized zone and are collected at the site by an experienced sampling crew under the supervision of a Company geologist.  Sample material, consisting of 1.4 to 3 kg of material, was placed in labelled plastic bags that sealed with ties at the collection site.  The samples are then transported from the mine and stored at the Company’s or contractors surface facilities or are taken directly to the lab preparation facility.  The samples are transported in Company vehicles and delivered to the sample preparation facility by personnel of the contractor. 

All samples were analyzed in Vancouver for the reported metals except zinc by the ME-OG62 method for higher grade samples.  Zinc was analyzed by the Zn-VOL50 potentiometric titration method using a 4 acid digestion.  For these initial high grade samples, only blanks were used as internal control samples, and the laboratory applies strict quality control procedures.  ALS Chemex is part of ALS Global, an internationally recognized analytical laboratory.

Tech News: SoundView Research Issues Note on NXT-ID, Inc (NASDAQ: $NXTD); Acquisition Into Position

Tech News: SoundView Research Issues Note on NXT-ID, Inc (NASDAQ: $NXTD); Acquisition Into Position



BOSTON - August 22, 2016 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SoundView Technology Group (http://soundview.co) releases the following company note for NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXTD).

NXT-ID (NXTD $0.45)
Acquisition into position.

Kris Tuttle & Steve Waite: August 22, 2016

In July NXT-ID completed a major acquisition that brings substantial revenues and profits ($11.1M sales and $2.1M EBITDA in 2015) into the company. The deal also takes them from a payments-focused technology provider into a more horizontal IoT technology provider to multiple markets.

NXT-ID announced an agreement to purchase LogicMark on May 18, 2016 and set about to put together the considerable financing needed to complete the deal. They put a package together and on July 26, 2016 completed the deal for consideration of $20M cash and $900K in stock. There are also performance-driven payments of $6.5M if gross margin targets are hit in future periods.

LogicMark has built a good business in personal emergency response systems. These are devices which allow easy 2-way voice communication between parties and/or 911 services. These devices are essential for aged and disabled people living on their own.
The LogicMark business is expected to continue to deliver profitable growth through the next few quarters and likely to accelerate in 2017 thanks to expanded distribution with at least one major retailer.

It's worth pointing out that two key members of the NXT-ID advisory board that might be able to be helpful in expanding this business:

Lawrence Flanagan is currently the president and CEO of AARP Member Services. He was formerly the chief marketing officer of MasterCard Worldwide. He's also formerly from Procter & Gamble.

Bill Fields is the former president and CEO of Walmart retail stores. He was also the CEO of Blockbuster and recognized industry-wide for his expertise in retail and distribution. He also played a decisive role in all the different products that Walmart purchases from around the world.

We'll be redoing our entire model in light of the LogicMark deal. As a starting point we are expecting 2016 revenues of about $13M and $4M of EBITDA. Until we factor in the increased number of shares and debt associated with the deal we don't know exactly how our IV will shake out.

Potential partnerships with the likes of the AARP and/or Walmart offer significant drivers of accelerated growth in 2017 and beyond. One thing we can say for sure is that NXTD stock will be a very different animal in September.

Other Items

There is still a fair amount of structural and administrative work for the NXT-ID management team to complete in the next 30 days or so. By early September much or all of it will be resolved, including a reverse stock split.

The existing business with the WorldVentures card continues to develop and ramp. We expect to see revenues increasing at the end of Q3 and then dramatically in Q4.

After Labor Day we will be publishing our revised IV model and an updated full company report. Soon after that management plans another investor update webinar hosted by NASDAQ. It will be announced but feel free to sign-up for our email updates if you want to be sure not to miss getting our full report and the invite to this webinar. You can sign up via this link.

NXT-ID continues to work on other corporate partnerships in the IoT space. We're looking for something more along the lines of channel expansion and improved visibility in general-purpose IoT. Such things can never be forecast with certainty but we wouldn't be shocked to see one before the end of this year.
