Atari (OTC:PONGF) – The video game industry has evolved at a breakneck pace over the course of the past decades. While some of the major players may be better known now, Atari remains one of the most iconic game developers in the history of the industry. It is regarded as one of the legendary interactive entertainment producers.

Yesterday, the company was in focus after it announced that it had been working with Dreams Underground, the award-winning game development studio to develop a new game. The game in question is based on Lunar Lander, a fan-favorite game from the 1970s. The game is going to be titled Lunar Lander: Beyond and is set to be released this year in PC and console versions.

The game is going to offer simulation and a deeper narrative to the mix, in addition to precision gravity flier mechanics. Wade Rosen, the Chief Executive Officer of Atari, spoke about the latest move from the company. He noted that Dreams Underground had the vision to turn the Lunar Lander game into one with a compelling back story and modern game play. He went on to add that everyone at the company was highly excited at the possibility of reviving one of the more iconic games ever released by Atari in a new avatar.

Surge Battery Metals Inc (OTC: NILIF) – Yesterday, the company came into focus after it announced that added a new member to its board of directors in the form of Dr. Vijay Mehta. The appointment went into effect immediately. Dr. Mehta holds a Bachelor of Science and a Doctorate in Flotation Technology. Surge Battery Metals Inc announced that Dr. Mehta was a globally respected expert in lithium mining, processing and extraction and brought five decades of experience to the company. He holds a sound record and has done consulting work for some of the leading operators in the global lithium mining industry.

The reason why the leading companies in the space are eager for his expertise is because of his knowledge about innovation in lithium brine processing and the industrial-scale production of battery-grade lithium end products. Another major skill offered by Dr. Mehta is that he can evaluate the economic and technological feasibility of lithium brine projects. He is also adept at making cost-competitive analysis comparisons across projects. Additionally, he holds in excess of 12 lithium-related patents in the United States and throughout the course of his career, published more than 50 technology reports.

Hertz Lithium (OTC: HZLIF) – The British Columbia based company is mainly involved in the acquisition and exploration of mineral assets. Yesterday, it announced that its shares had commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the ticker symbol HZLIF from July 11, 2023. Additionally, Hertz Lithium also announced that it had received the full-service eligibility in the United States from The Depository Trust Company.

The receipt of the eligibility made the company’s stock more accessible to institutional and retail investors in the United States. The company is also listed in Germany on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The latest listing would make it easier for both American and European shareholders to participate in trading the Hertz Lithium share with more ease.

Robert Barker, who is a director at the company, spoke about the development as well. He noted that the company’s Lucky Mica Lithium project and the Penn State Lithium Extraction patent license development technology could make it an interesting proposition for many investors based in the United States who may be interested in the lithium sector. He went on to add that Hertz was moving aggressively to push its active exploration initiatives at the Lucky Mica project.

Jones Soda Co (OTC:JSDA) – The company is best known for manufacturing craft soda with out-of-the-way flavors and user-designed artwork labels. Yesterday, the company announced that it had made a path-breaking new stride in its augmented reality program through the launch of a proprietary new platform. The platform had been developed for Jones Soda Co by August Allen, the award-winning creative agency. The new platform would build on the company’s initiative to feature fans on its labels and the new platform would bring video storytelling into a mobile-only augmented reality experience.

The company had launched the REEL LABELS initiative in 2021 but the platform would offer a smoother and faster user experience that would be based on mobile augmented reality and not apps. The Director of Marketing at Jones Soda Curt Thompson spoke about the latest development.

He noted that the company had decided to take a far more personalized approach with regard to Jones Soda labels. The new initiative would help in celebrating the community through video features on the packaging and customers would work on new ways for sharing their stories.

The collaborations would include the Advance Water Research Lab which is supervised by Dr. MohtadaSadrzadeh and the lab supervised by Dr HongboZenga at the University of Alberta’s Chemical and Materials Engineering Department. The latter is known as the Zeng Lab. The Chief Executive Officer of the company Alex Wylie spoke about the collaboration as well.
