Sekur Private Data (CSE: SKUR) (OTCQB: SWISF) (FRA: GDT0), a leading Swiss-hosted secure and private communications platform, recently announced significant developments that will revolutionize the world of private and secure communications – including the launch of Sekur Enterprise plus a signed distribution agreement with Qatar.

The upcoming launch of the Sekur Enterprise suite of privacy communication solutions is scheduled for mid-January 2024. This suite will offer a comprehensive range of features designed to meet the demands of enterprises worldwide. Several customers across Latin America, the USA, and the Middle East Gulf countries, are eagerly awaiting the release of Sekur Enterprise (https://nnw.fm/dfjZr).

The key features of Sekur Enterprise include:

SekurMessenger for Enterprise: A secure messaging solution for businesses with features to control communications, ensuring compliance, security, and privacy.
SekurRelay: An innovative solution that enables tight information flow control, catering to enterprise customers’ needs. It will be proposed to telecom operators in various regions, including Latin America, starting in Q1 2024.

Several existing distributors are ready to launch Sekur Enterprise in Latin America and beyond. In Latin America, America Movil’s Telcel is set to launch SekurMessenger for Enterprise, targeting financial institutions and large enterprises seeking a secure alternative following WhatsApp’s recent bans by many financial and government institutions.

The company has introduced SekurRelay Enterprise Email Solution as part of its Sekur Enterprise suite. This solution enables corporate executives and management to seamlessly integrate SekurMail’s privacy and security features without migrating their entire company email domain. This innovative “Inbound Relay” approach allows businesses to protect C-level and management level emails from Business Email Compromise (“BEC”) attacks without disrupting their existing IT infrastructure.

Sekur has also signed distribution agreements in Jordan and Qatar and is discussing with distributors in the United Arab Emirates. These distributors actively engage with leading telecom operators to promote Sekur Enterprise and Sekur Business solutions for small and large enterprises.

Sekur has signed a distribution agreement with Beyond Limits Programs and Electronics (“BLPE”), a Qatari corporation (https://nnw.fm/sbyKJ). This agreement covers the State of Qatar and extends to sales support and new distribution setups for Gulf Cooperation Council (G.C.C.) countries. BLPE, instrumental in introducing Sekur to other regions, including Jordan and Iraq, is working closely with Sekur to expand distribution and support across the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

With the Middle East witnessing increased cyber-attacks, Sekur aims to offer its robust and secure communications platform to businesses and governments in the region. Alain Ghiai emphasized, “We can offer the only Swiss-hosted, proprietary, private, and secure communications platform, reducing the risk of cyber penetration for businesses and governments in the region.”

Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data, shared his excitement about these developments. “We are excited to launch our anticipated Sekur Enterprise solutions globally. The first phase has already been launched with our SekurRelay feature, followed by an expanded SekurMessenger,” Ghiai said. “Sekur Enterprise will significantly increase the average revenue per user by up to 280%, offering a truly independent, private, and secure means of communication.”

Sekur recognizes the growing importance of online privacy and security. Therefore, SekurVPN, a privacy VPN solution, has been integrated into its offerings. This VPN solution enhances internet connection encryption, safeguarding users’ identities from malicious hackers. Approximately 50% of Sekur’s customers have chosen to include SekurVPN in their bundles, highlighting the demand for enhanced online privacy and security.

Nicole Marie Breen, COO of HEMP BioSciences Inc., said: “HEMP has been issued all required licenses for Industrial HEMP; Growing, Nursery, Harvester, Transporter and Processor licenses under Title 3-Chapter 2-Article 4.1 of The Arizona Department of Agriculture. With the renewal of our hemp licenses, we are now in the process of acquiring a cGMP certification to ensure the highest quality products, while protecting the public in this highly regulated industry. We believe HEMP’s CBD gummies, oils, cremes, tinctures, balms, both broad and full spectrum, will maximize the entourage effects under the strictest manufacturing processes globally.”

Jeffery Miller, CEO of HEMP BioSciences, adds: “Hemp is a botanical class of cannabis sativa cultivars belonging to the same plant species Cannabis Sativa L. Our hemp is carefully processed under supercritical CO2 extraction of hemp flowers. Our cGMP kitchen will provide a pure, clean complete extraction process that yields the maximum levels of hemp’s natural phenotypes with natural terpenes added for the perfect flavor and textures. This provides increased absorption, higher bioavailability and greater effectiveness for the consumer or patient.

“HEMP’s proprietary strains vary in phytochemical properties that contain no more than 0.3% THC in dried condition for sale under our current licensing,” Miller continued. “Our products are high in active phytonutrients and are grown, cultivated, harvested and processed in the USA.

WEED Israel (Cannabis) Ltd. “After over 4 years of putting human clinical trials and product development on hold due to COVID and now the war, WEED Israel is still poised and anxious to build out our global brands in both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical categories, starting with women’s health and veterans’ ailments (PTSD) to healthy green alternative medicines,” stated Elliot Kwestel, managing director of WEED Israel (Cannabis) Ltd. based outside Jerusalem.

Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) Gets Tax Exemption for US REE Processing Project, Subcontractors Also Selected

Canadian metals supply company Ucore Rare Metals Inc. is focused on establishing North American independence in the production of rare earth elements (“REEs”) vital to modern computerized technologies
China currently dominates the global market for mining, processing and product creation for REEs, raising concerns that governmental controls over its industries could hamstring supplies Western nations need for everything from cell phones to fighter jet parts
Ucore is preparing to establish commercial operations for REE refining and processing using the company’s trademarked RapidSX(TM) solution, which has demonstrated significant economical and environmental improvement over the standard SX separation technology
The company recently announced execution of a tax exemption contract in Louisiana, where it will build the first commercial facility, and the company has selected initial construction contractors to get the process under way

Strategic metals enterprise Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) is wrapping up the year by presenting its shareholders a soft construction launch for work at the Louisiana site where the company will build its important rare earth element (“REE”) processing plant.

Ucore announced on December 12 that Louisiana’s governor has executed the contract that will exempt Ucore from some $8.2 million in projected taxes over the next decade, that construction engineering services and construction contracting services subcontractors have been selected, and that members of the Louisiana site program team have begun the “copy & paste” transition process of adapting the technology tested at Ucore’s Canadian demonstration site to the Louisiana facility.

“The recent trip to Ucore’s Kingston, Ontario, RapidSX(TM) Demo Plant really reinforced the size, scale, and importance to North America of what Ucore is working to accomplish for the electric vehicle industry,” Ralph Hennessy, the director of the Louisiana “England Airpark” site, stated in the company’s news release about the progress (https://nnw.fm/rWU3w). “They have assembled a very capable team to construct their facility at the England Airpark, representing a significant milestone in Louisiana’s pathway to a multi-energy economy.”

Ucore’s “Strategic Metals Complex” (“SMC”) in Louisiana represents the fulfillment of efforts to establish a Western-nation supply chain for REEs that is not dependent on China’s industrial domination in the industry. REEs perform crucial functions in modern computerized technologies.

“Knowing that we have local, regional and state support, coupled with federal support through the U.S. Department of Defense and, most recently, from the Government of Canada truly provides a North American solution as we focus on keeping manufacturing jobs in the United States and Canada,” Ucore VP & Chief Operating Officer Mike Schrider, P.E., stated.

For months, Ucore has been demonstrating the capability of RapidSX(TM) REE processing technology in a head-to-head output challenge against the industry standard for REE solvent extraction (known as CSX, or simply SX) at the test facility in Kingston, Ontario. The SMC in Alexandria, Louisiana, will use RapidSX(TM) to produce REEs at commercial scale, building up to 7,500 metric tons of total rare earth oxide (“TREO”) production from an initial 2,000 metric tons startup.

While China has developed its REE mining and processing industries, similar industries in the Americas and other nations have virtually disappeared during recent decades because of economic factors and pollution concerns. RapidSX(TM) offers an improvement over the standard process for teasing the 17 REE metals out of their host ores — a complex process Ucore is managing with a smaller footprint and less demand for electricity.

“The (standard) rare earths refining process can be very finicky,” University of Arizona’s mining and geological engineering department chief Kray Luxbacker told The Economic Times recently (https://nnw.fm/i7oWO). “There are just so many complex steps.”

Once the Louisiana SMC is operational and receiving feedstock from Western mining operations, Ucore will beginning turning its sights toward building two additional planned SMCs in the United States and Canada. The company also owns a rare earths deposit in Alaska that it may tap to mine REEs itself at some point in the future.
