OJAI, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Elixir today announced significant progress in its patent application for Elixir Catalyst, a groundbreaking AI and machine learning-powered solution that transforms how organizations migrate from legacy Customer Communications Management (CCM) systems. This revolutionary technology addresses one of the most daunting challenges facing enterprises today: replacing mission-critical CCM platforms that have been deeply embedded in business operations for years or even decades.
“CCM migration has long been considered one of the highest-risk, most expensive technology projects an organization can undertake,” said Tarek Harry, CEO at Elixir. “With Elixir Catalyst, we’re fundamentally changing this reality. Our patent-pending AI technology can slash migration timelines by 3-4x and reduce costs by 50-80%, transforming what was once a multi-year, multimillion-dollar nightmare into a streamlined, predictable process.”
Traditional CCM migrations often exceed a year in duration and cost millions of dollars, particularly with legacy solutions that require complete manual template rebuilds. Organizations face the painful reality of complex data migrations and high-stakes compliance risks that can halt production and damage the bottom line. Elixir Catalyst solves these challenges through its innovative approach that requires only data sources and sample PDF outputs to automatically generate fully functional Elixir Cloud templates. The solution combines patent-pending AI and machine learning technology with expert professional services to rapidly convert legacy and competitive documents while maintaining template fidelity through built-in checks and human oversight.
“What makes Elixir Catalyst truly revolutionary is its vendor and system agnostic approach,” said Libby Koehn, Global VP of Product at Elixir. “We don’t need access to the original CCM platform – just sample PDF outputs and their data feeds. This means organizations can finally break free from legacy systems without the traditional barriers of complex integrations and manual reconstruction efforts. Our AI technology even discovers business / data rules for variable content, shared resources and optimizes templates during the conversion process.”
The solution has already demonstrated remarkable success in the field. One of the largest insurers in the country leveraged Elixir Catalyst to migrate from legacy systems in under a year at 60% less cost than the nearest competitor, avoiding the multi-year timelines and millions in costs quoted by incumbent CCM vendors.
Key benefits of Elixir Catalyst include:
Dramatic reduction in migration time and costs through AI-powered automation
Accelerated time to value by eliminating manual template re-development
Enhanced template fidelity with built-in quality checks and expert oversight
System agnostic approach requiring only sample PDF outputs and data feeds
Optimized template generation through intelligent discovery and generation of data mappings, variable content rules, and shared resources
As organizations increasingly recognize the need to modernize their communication systems for improved security, scalability, and business agility, Elixir Catalyst provides a transformative path forward that significantly reduces the traditional risks and complexities of CCM migration.
The advancement of Elixir’s patent application represents a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to innovation in the customer communications space, building on its cloud-native platform that already empowers business users to create personalized communications at scale.

One year on, Mediagenix completes full integration of Spideo technology and talent, driving audience intelligence earlier in the pipeline and measurable customer gains.
BRUSSELS, BE / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Mediagenix, a global leader in smart content solutions to profitably connect the right content to the right audience, has completed the integration of Spideo personalization and recommendation capabilities across its Content Strategy, Content Value Management, and Content Scheduling solutions. The company announced the acquisition of Spideo at IBC2024, and in the year since, has successfully unified its technology and talent across the portfolio and organization. This milestone, which will be celebrated at IBC2025 (Stand 1.B57), strengthens the Mediagenix offering and positions the company to deliver even greater value to customers worldwide.
“The Spideo integration materially enriches the Mediagenix portfolio across the board. Every one of our solutions – content strategy, title management, scheduling, and personalization – has been strengthened with intelligence that compounds value over time. Equally important, the tremendous talent that joined Mediagenix through the acquisition has added unique knowledge and expertise that continue to accelerate innovation for our customers,” said Emmanuel Müller, Chief Product Officer, Mediagenix.
The Spideo recommendation and personal technology integration continue to accelerate the introduction of audience intelligence much earlier in the content pipeline, enabling strategic decision-making upstream in content strategy, curation, and scheduling. By shifting intelligence to these earlier stages, media companies can make better-informed choices when they matter most, driving stronger audience engagement, higher retention, and improved monetization.
“It is deeply rewarding to see the DNA of Spideo come to fruition at this scale. What began as personalization has now expanded into areas far beyond the initial scope, shaping strategy, operations, and monetization across the entire Mediagenix platform,” said Gabriel Mandelbaum, Spideo co-founder and VP Content Strategy & Management, Mediagenix.
At the core of this approach is the Self-Optimizing Content Monetization Flywheel, a framework that continuously feeds audience engagement data back into upstream processes, maximizing content monetization. With every cycle, operators refine content strategy and scheduling to improve outcomes, creating a system that gets more effective over time.
Customers are also realizing measurable gains. Globo, Brazil’s largest streaming platform, adopted Mediagenix personalization/recommendations innovation to power discovery on Globoplay.
“Personalization increases the lifetime value and shortens the payback on customer acquisition costs. Even our free-tier users create ROI through ad views, so personalization helps us maximize value across both paid and free audiences. When we deliver the right content at the right moment, LTV rises, CAC payback becomes faster, and engagement goes up-users spend more time on Globoplay, return more frequently, and as a result, are less likely to churn,” said Igor Macaubas, Director of Product & Engineering, Digital Products at Globo.
By replacing its legacy search with a Mediagenix recommendations engine, Globo achieved a 25% lift in user engagement. Internally benchmarked against alternatives, the Mediagenix solution outperformed on both relevance and engagement, providing greater impact through context-aware recommendations that helped redefine primetime. “AI-driven recommendations are the new prime time,” insists Macaubas.
Macaubas recently joined Mediagenix and Devoncroft for a webinar on personalization and curation innovation, where he shared deeper insights into how Globo achieved these results. The webinar session is available on demand and provides a closer look at the strategies and outcomes behind Globo’s success.
Mediagenix’s rapid progress in this field has also been recognized by key analysts. Earlier this year, the company was named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Media and Entertainment 2025* for its breakthrough approach to embedding personalization across the content lifecycle.

25-year workmanship warranty
Lifetime product warranties
Energy-efficient, Canadian-made products

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2025 / Northern Superior Resources Inc. (“Northern Superior” or the “Company“) (TSXV:SUP)(OTCQB:NSUPF)(GR:D9M1) is pleased to announce the commencement of exploration activities on its newly acquired Hazeur property, strategically located adjacent to its flagship Philibert Project in Québec’s Chibougamau Gold Camp. Additionally, Northern Superior has expanded its Chevrier Project through the acquisition of claims totalling 2,100 hectares contiguous with the project’s northern boundary, bringing the Company’s total landholdings in the Chibougamau Gold Camp to more than 70,000 hectares. Lastly, approximately 90% of the Philibert expansion drilling program has now been completed and reported; a final tranche of approximately 2,000 metres remains in progress, with results to be disclosed as assays are received and QA/QC is finalized.
Regarding Hazeur and other newly acquired ground, the Company is systematically compiling historical assessment data, re-logging, and re-sampling available core to address gaps in prior work and initiating reconnaissance programs across the new land position. (See details of the acquisition of Hazeur, Monster Lake West and Monster Lake East in the press releases dated June 16 and July 17, 2025.)
Highlights Include: (Grades uncut; lengths are measured along the drill hole, and true widths are unknown at this time.)
Hazeur: HA-16-004: 1.10 g/t Au over 25.5 metres, including 7.28 g/t Au over 1.7 metres starting at 82.5 metres – located approximately 350 metres west of the Philibert conceptual pit and believed to represent the western extension of the Red Fox zone; and
Hazeur HA-16-003: 0.94 g/t Au over 8.9 metres starting at 99.9 metres, and 1.49 g/t Au over 1.1 metres starting at 118.2 metres – located over 400 metres west of the conceptual pit and 70 metres west of HA-16-004.
“These early Hazeur results demonstrate meaningful gold mineralization immediately west of Philibert, highlighting the potential for resource growth across our expanding land package. The addition of the new claims north of Chevrier adds to the recent acquisition of the Hazeur, Monster Lake West, and Monster Lake East properties as we continue to consolidate our position in a camp rapidly gaining global recognition. We are executing a disciplined and cost-effective strategy to acquire high-quality ground and advance our portfolio,” said Simon Marcotte, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our technical team has already identified the western extension of the Red Fox zone over a 600-metre strike length west of the Philibert pit. Re-logging and re-sampling are filling gaps in the historic record, and reconnaissance work has collected 80 outcrop samples in the Kapunapotagen Fault Zone. We are confident this work will generate strong drill targets to expand Philibert and test new ground within the Hazeur and Chevrier projects,” said Adree DeLazzer, Vice President of Exploration.
Compilation of Results The Company’s geological team is actively compiling historic data from the eastern half of the Hazeur property and has undertaken a program of re-logging and re-sampling to close gaps in earlier work. This review has confirmed what the team interprets as the western extension of the Philibert Red Fox mineralized zone, traced for approximately 600 metres west of the current conceptual pit.
Drill hole HA-16-004 intersected 25.5 metres at 1.10 g/t Au, including 7.28 g/t Au over 1.7 metres, within a strongly silicified and albitized gabbro hosting disseminated pyrite and pyrrhotite. A second hole, HA-16-003, collared 60 metres farther west and more than 400 metres from the nearest Philibert resource drill holes, cut the same mineralization style typical of the Philibert footwall zones. Results included 0.94 g/t Au over 8.9 metres and 1.49 g/t Au over 1.1 metres, although unsampled intervals remain in mineralized sections and will be addressed in follow-up work. (See Figure 1 below for a long section along the Red Fox Corridor, Figure 2 for the location of the Figure 1, and Table 1 for drill hole parameters.)
Beyond the Red Fox extension, compilation work has highlighted other zones of interest across Hazeur, including the 7597 series of shallow historical holes, which encountered near-surface but lower-grade mineralization. These results suggest multiple mineralized horizons across the property, warranting systematic evaluation.
To advance this potential, Northern Superior is finalizing an exploration drilling program designed to test the western continuation of the Red Fox footwall zones, with drilling scheduled to begin later this month. In parallel, the Company is planning fieldwork focused on mapping, prospecting, and targeted sampling in areas of abundant bedrock exposure. This program will also establish a surface geochemical grid along the Guercheville Deformation Zone, a key regional structure, to further refine drill targeting.

New Land Acquisitions The Company has also expanded its land position through the acquisition of 38 new map-designated claims (CDC) covering more than 2,100 hectares contiguous to the north of the Chevrier property (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). These claims straddle the Chapais Syncline, a large and underexplored sedimentary-volcanic basin unconformably overlying the Roy Group. The syncline is cut by the Kapunapotagen Fault Zone, a major reverse shear corridor known to act as a conduit for mineralizing fluids. Despite its favorable geological setting, the area has seen very limited systematic exploration to date, as evidenced by the sparse detail on the geological map and very limited drilling (SeeFigure 3). Northern Superior’s geological team has already initiated reconnaissance work, including mapping and the collection of 80 surface samples, with results pending.
The potential of this new land package lies in its geological diversity. The Hauy and Stella formations, which form part of the Chapais Syncline, could host a variety of mineral systems. Felsic volcanic centers within these sequences may prove prospective for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits, much like those of the Noranda camp. Faults cutting Opémisca sediments and volcanics provide structural traps for magmatic-hydrothermal Cu-Au veins, analogous to the historic Springer and Perry mines at Opémiska.
Meanwhile, carbonaceous sedimentary members intersected by shear zones are prospective for orogenic gold systems, drawing comparisons to camps such as Detour Lake and Malartic. The underexplored nature of the ground, combined with these multiple mineralization models, highlights the strategic value of this acquisition. Several showings and mineralization have been identified near the edges of the basin.

The Chibougamau Gold Camp The Chibougamau Gold Camp is rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most sought-after gold destinations with several complementary gold resources reaching viable scale. In recent years, these critical assets were divided amongst five different companies. Today, largely due to Northern Superior’s acquisitions and corporate transactions,[1] ownership has been streamlined, with only IAMGOLD and Northern Superior holding these assets. The proximity of these deposits to each other makes them ideally suited to feed a single mill, and their consolidation enhances their viability, thereby increasing their value.
Below is a table showing the resources of the camp having been formalized to date.
