GNCC Capital, Inc. (GNCP) Provides Shareholder Update, Highlights Strong Position

GNCC Capital, Inc. (GNCP) Provides Shareholder Update, Highlights Strong Position Today before the opening bell, GNCC Capital issued a press release outlining its portfolio, strategic initiatives, ability to achieve stated objectives, and overall growth strategy. Management believes the “Clara” and “Burnt Well” gold exploration properties, as well as the recently acquired “White Hills,” meet immediate and stated objectives of “low cost” and potentially economically viable mining properties. The company’s strategy is to generate revenue streams from the JV agreements on its properties, the proceeds to be deployed in the acceleration of exploration for other potentially viable gold properties in its portfolio, thereby leading to further JV agreements and cash flow. The company will also expend funds on further development on certain of its properties with a view to a sale of advanced stage exploration properties. GNCC Capital also updated investors on its Gold Hill property, which is located at the company’s Clara gold property in La Paz County, Arizona. Management is of the opinion that this has the potential to be a low cost producer as well. Clara is a detachment fault gold deposit. The mineralization is in a flat lying breccia zone at the base of Gold Hill, which is ringed with historic adits (mine tunnels), pits and other mine workings. The breccia zone is 5 to 30 feet thick and it underlies the Gold Hill property. In management’s opinion, this has great economic potential. GNCC Capital is looking at Gold Hill in an entirely new way from previous owners. The last company to explore Gold Hill found, through sampling the workings around and under Gold Hill, very encouraging results. Their surface sampling reportedly returned gold values of up to 0.652 ounces gold per ton and copper values of up to 20% copper. Underground sampling returned up to 0.512 ounces gold per ton with copper values up to 2.59%. The 36 samples taken averaged 0.091 ounces gold per ton and included a section of continuous chip / channel samples which averaged 0.162 ounces gold per ton over 85 feet. They then drilled nine holes at Moreau Hill, which included intercepts of 45 feet grading 0.097 ounces gold per ton and 15 feet grading 0.089 ounces gold per ton. The company’s management team is analyzing these drill results and sampling patterns with the intention of developing an underground mining plan utilizing the latest technology in order to deliminate the mineralized breccia zone which has an access road. GNCC Capital has determined that this has the potential to be a low-cost underground mine which requires no shaft sinking or large capital expenditures. In the press release, GNCC Capital emphasized that low cost is its top priority for mining given the volatility of the gold price. All of its mines are in a mining-friendly state with good infrastructure and a well-educated workforce. The company said today it does not require any additional funding in this fiscal year in order to achieve their stated objectives. The company’s management has secured the requisite funding to meet its stated objectives for this fiscal year. GNCC Capital is working to monetize its existing assets and to acquire additional assets, should they be of a strategic and economic fit, in order to secure sustainable revenue streams for the company.

International Stem Cell Corp. (ISCO) Tackles Chronic Liver Disease, a Major Cause of Death

Stem cell technology has unlocked a world of potential treatments for almost every kind of disease. International Stem Cell offers an especially valuable foundation for such treatments through its development of parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSC), non-embryonic histocompatible human stem cells. Parthenogenesis promises to significantly advance the field of regenerative medicine by addressing the problem of immune-rejection. This is because parthenogenesis utilizes unfertilized human eggs to create stem cells that can be immune-matched to millions of people, meaning that a relatively small number of hpSC lines could provide sufficient immune-matched cells to cover a large percentage of the world’s population. ISCO scientists are now performing research to verify that such parthenogenetic stem cell lines can be successfully used to treat a variety of diseases, including chronic liver disease. Chronic liver disease (including hepatitis C) is the third most common cause of death due to chronic diseases in persons 35 to 64 years old. Roughly 3 million Americans are chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus, and approximately 12,000 Americans die annually from the disease. Cirrhosis and hepatitis taken together claim over 30,000 lives annually in the U.S. alone, and health care costs for chronic and acute liver disease in the U.S. are estimated to range from $60 billion to over $100 billion. The company’s scientific team is developing better methods to create pure populations of hepatocyte, the cells that make up most liver tissue, for use in transplantation, using HLA homozygous parthenogenetic stem cell lines to avoid the cells being immune rejected. UniStemCell bank, established by ISCO, is the life science industry’s first collection of non-embryonic histocompatible human stem cells available for research and commercial use.

All Grade Mining Inc. (HYII) Moves to Acquire Second Project in Chile with High Grade Copper, Silver and Gold Secondary Targets All Grade Mining was pleased to announce a major developmental step forward today in their continued campaign to build up broad-spectrum mineral extraction operations in South America, with the announcement that the company’s management has selected the Plateada Copper Sulfide Project, in the Republic of Chile, for their next acquisition. This copper project is located roughly 400 miles southeast of the company’s 1,831-acre Salitrosa Project in Chile. Just over 34 miles southeast of the city of Ovalle, this project would be a second major node for HYII in Chile’s rich base metal mineralization and one which could bolster both sales revenues and cash flows handsomely. The successful result of one of the very first JV pilot programs between HYII’s primary contractor, Foreign Commerce Consultative Services, and a group of private investors, Plateada ably met the planned target projections and is now ready to move into the next phase of expansion. All Grade Mining has devised a procedural approach to developing the abundant geological and mineral potential of Plateada, which is characterized by a primary host fault running north-northeast, bounded by a set of north-northwest faults, with apparent multiple additional faults in-trend with the primary host, evident from satellite imaging done of the property. The massive shear system at Plateada, given historical sales data and evidence from prior workings, has the richest copper grades in the sericitised portion, whereas the silicified part of the system has the best silver grades and better gold values overall, which are traceable to a yellow-brown quartz vein system. There is a good amount of mineralization here in parallel shears, but the primary target is the juicy bulk tonnage of the main system’s chalcocite and copper oxides. Silver is primarily occurring in grey sulphosalts and reports by the Chilean National Mining Corporation, ENAMI (Empresa Nacional de MinerĂ­a), which are quite good and boast sampling from all over the main adit, indicate from flotation products that gold is inside the sulphide minerals. CEO of HYII, Gary Kouletas, emphasized the extensive due diligence applied by the company prior to this decision and further explained that all the prerequisite Letters of Intent and assignment contracts are in place for the assumption of the business, with a ratification target set for the first two weeks of August. Kouletas was also keen to point out that these agreements and contracts will be highly transparent and will be presented to the regional Combarbala conservatory of mining, as well as being publicized more broadly via the Chilean Business Journal. Over the entire length of the roughly 328 feet of the adit itself there are pinches, splays, and swells of several feet, but the observable absence of cross structures here may be simply due to their having been mined out already. Since the ownership has shown HYII’s team a shaft which they maintain exposes two galleries down at around 100 feet and 200 feet, the company will be chasing this solid lead and intends to flesh it out as they move through their procedural exploration work in comings months. These workings are a good indicator that the main shear may extend well beyond the adit, further along strike, and HYII will be likely be chomping at the bit to resolve a higher-resolution portrait of this potential. The first step of exploration will be to do 30 to 100 foot drilling at the adit to determine where the parallel mineralization targets are, followed up by trenching along strike with a backhoe in the hunt for surface mineralization extensions. In addition to these efforts HYII will be taking a comprehensive look at the larger area of the project, that stretches for up to 0.77 square miles, crying out for a much-needed geologic mapping and sampling program. Anything kicked up in the geologic program will be vetted by trenching and subsequent drilling to identify a larger scale of mineralization should the trenching result warrant it. The company has assembled an expert team of mining and logistics professionals capable of placing any scale project, involving any mineral type, effectively on the table and investors should keep a close eye on HYII as development progresses in Chile.

NanoTech Entertainment, Inc. (NTEK) and Hannover House, Inc. (HHSE) Launch VODwiz Indie Film Channel NanoTech Entertainment and Hannover House have launched a beta-test of the new channel for independent films via the companies’ IPTV/OTT venture, VODwiz. The initial test launch will feature more than 50 films exclusively from the Hannover House film library. The library will continue to expand the channel by adding more film and video titles in the coming weeks and months to create a library of more than 2,000 films. The channel is initially available on the Roku platform for viewing on Internet-connected televisions, but will expand to computers, mobile phones, and tablets in coming weeks. The VODwiz titles and platform will also be available as a stand-alone video-on-demand Web site, VODwiz.com, which Hannover House and NanoTech plan to launch in August. “We were excited when Hannover House selected our technology as the platform to launch VODWiz. We believe that we are in the midst of a fundamental paradigm shift in how people consume their content, with on-demand programming becoming the essential delivery mechanism,” Jeff Foley, NanoTech CEO stated in the press release. “Consumers no longer want to rely on a single distribution point or method for viewing and by having a library of unique titles, available on a variety of platforms will make VODwiz a great success.” Initial pricing under the pay-per-transaction business model will make films available for $1.99 or $2.99, with television series programming available for $1.99 per 90-minutes. Hannover House and NanoTech say they will explore a variety of consumer promotional offers, including free movies, multi-title discounts, and the possibility of a monthly subscription based option. “Our goal is to establish the brand as the go-to source for consumers seeking the widest variety of films on the Internet and television. By having Video-on-Demand content available on our website, as well as most Internet connected devices and televisions, we are able to use the most popular state of the art methods in which consumers view content,” said Hannover House CEO Eric Parkinson. Hannover House President Fred Shefte noted that Video-on-Demand Web sites and new IPTV formats have created an opportunity for a virtual mega-video-rental store – an opportunity that the companies fully anticipate taking advantage of. “As consumers adapt the ease of streaming content directly into their homes or mobile devices, we want to build VODwiz as a dominant location for the widest variety of programming. Most of the major V.O.D. sites at present are only offering major studio blockbuster films and a handful of independent, esoteric or foreign films,” concluded Shefte. “We see no logical basis for why VODwiz cannot become the virtual equivalent of a video super-store with thousands of interesting and hard-to-find films instantly accessible. We share the vision with NanoTech Entertainment, that the VODwiz Web site and the VODwiz IPTV-ROKU channel have the potential of becoming a major destination for entertainment consumers.” For more information on NanoTech Entertainment, visit www.NanoTechEnt.com About QualityStocks QualityStocks is committed to connecting subscribers with companies that have huge potential to succeed in the short and long-term future.

Solar Wind Energy, Inc. (SWET) Seeks to Mimic the Sun Of all the renewable energy sources currently being developed and promoted, sun-driven wind power has been dominant. Although renewables still only account for 20% of global electricity production, and an even smaller portion of total energy consumption, and with most renewable energy coming from long-established hydroelectric plants, wind power remains the front-runner when it comes to the latest technologies. Wind power is considered more cost-effective and viable than other green alternatives, and is readily available since the wind blows just about everywhere. Still, there are issues with wind power, dependent as it is on wind speed. Wind speed, of course, does not parallel energy demand, and so excess generation capacity must be built which adds to costs. In addition, traditional wind technology requires wind farms covering large areas on land or in the sea, with associated infrastructure, all of which is both costly and controversial. But now there is another source of wind power, offering all of the benefits of the original but without the drawbacks. And, like traditional wind power, it too is driven by the sun. However, instead of the normal process, where the sun heats up large sections of the atmosphere, forming the massive air currents that we see as wind, this new approach turns the sun’s atmospheric heat energy into wind on a highly localized and controllable basis. Solar Wind Energy seeks to mimic the sun, creating wind-on-demand by adding finely-sprayed water to hot dry desert air in a very large enclosed space. The result is a high-volume continuous downdraft that can reach speeds exceeding 50 miles per hour even on a calm windless day. It’s a case of heat energy being turned directly into the energy of motion, just as the sun does with the atmosphere but in a perfectly controlled way. The moving air is then used to run turbines that turn out a dependable flow of electricity. Even after considering the costs involved in recycling and pumping the water, and the variability of air temperature and humidity, the process is seen as being more cost effective than other alternatives, and without the limitations of weather that affect traditional solar and wind based systems.
