Compass Pathways PLC. (CMPS)

QualityStocks, InvestorPlace, MarketBeat, Daily Trade Alert, StreetInsider, Schaeffer's, Trades Of The Day and The Street reported earlier on Compass Pathways PLC. (CMPS), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

Dozens of states have launched medical and recreational cannabis industries over the past two decades amid a wave of drug reform that has swept across the country. In the past couple of years, reformists in several states have also begun campaigns to legalize, or at least decriminalize, psychedelic drugs as initial research has shown that those drugs have potential as mental health treatments.

However, while states are increasingly adopting permissive drug policies, federal law still bans the production, distribution and use of drugs such as cannabis and psychedelics even though millions of people across the country now use them either recreationally or therapeutically.

This mismatch between state and federal law has been a bone of contention for reform activists, lawmakers and players in these emerging industries. The situation has created numerous challenges to both businesses and consumers who use or would like to use cannabis and psychedelics.

Congressional researchers recently called attention to the growing rift between state and federal-level drug laws as more states begin pursuing psychedelic drug reform. Released last week, the Congressional Research Service report focused on the federal Controlled Substances Act, which currently outlaws drugs such as psychedelics and cannabis, classifying them in the same class as heroin and cocaine.

The report noted that while Congress had always had the authority to challenge these federal drug laws, it had declined to do so on multiple occasions. As a result, the report noted, the already wide gap between federal and state law had continued to expand as more states chose to loosen their own drug policies.

With states such as Oregon and Colorado moving to legalize the use of certain psychedelics for adults for mostly medical reasons, this gap is widening even further. On top of that, lawmakers in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Oklahoma are also pursuing psychedelic reform in 2023. 

The Congressional report also stated that while the gap between federal and state cannabis regulation was well-known, other Schedules I controlled substances such as psilocybin seemed to be developing a similar gap in regulation. Even as more states look to legalize or decriminalize psychedelic drugs, any change they make to their respective drug policies will have no effect on the federal Controlled Substances Act, which currently outlaws psychedelic drugs.

According to the report, this disconnect between drug laws at the federal and state level has led to “collateral consequences” for people who take part in state-legal cannabis markets, such as difficulties accessing financial aid, federal benefits, assisted housing, firearms and employment.

This drive to reform psychedelic drug policy is in part being driven by the research being undertaken by startups such as Compass Pathways PLC. (NASDAQ: CMPS) leading to the demonstration of many therapeutic possibilities involving these substances.

Compass Pathways PLC. (CMPS), closed Wednesday's trading session at $10.61, up 2.2158%, on 235,327 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 3.12M and the stock's 52-week low/high is $6.54/$21.50.

National Grid instructed coal-fired power plants to stand down hours after issuing them an order to “warm up” last week. The United Kingdom grid operator had asked one unit at West Burton, Nottinghamshire, and two in Drax, Yorkshire, to do so before midnight on Wednesday night.

The Electricity Supply Operator (ESO) asked the West Burton unit to stand down on Thursday morning before informing the two coal units in Drax later that they also would not be firing up. These three coal-fired power plants were placed on standby to produce additional power amid an energy crunch that has significantly increased fears of blackouts during winter.

National Grid has been working to balance power supplies in the country over the past couple of weeks as cold and less windy weather has increased energy use in households while simultaneously reducing power generation from wind turbine stations.

In January, the energy company began running a demand flexibility program that allows it to pay some households with smart meters to reduce their energy use at peak demand times. This allows the ESO to reduce power generation from polluting sources such as coal at peak energy consumption times; the program also includes some businesses. National Grid is expected to pay suppliers and households slightly more than $3,714,300 as part of its energy-saving service.

The energy-saving scheme was debuted by Octopus Energy in 2020 and expanded to other suppliers in November. More than a million households and businesses signed up for the energy-saving program when it was officially launched last week. The program will most likely expand over time and include home batteries and electric vehicles.

However, according to National Grid, the latest instruction to warm up wasn’t because of sudden cold weather that increased demand while reducing power supply. The ESO said that it was due to a request for assistance from French power grid operator RTE, which feared a critical disruption in electricity generation due to strike action on Thursday.

The French grid operator later determined that the additional power from the coal-fired facilities wasn’t needed, resulting in the stand-down order. France and Britain are linked by subsea interconnector cables that allow grid operators to move electricity from one country to another based on demand.

According to the ESO, the coal-fired power plants would only have been able to provide power to send to France if it was determined that those resources were not essential in the prevention of energy shortages in Great Britain.

These coal plants show just how vital the commodity produced by companies such as Peabody Energy Corporation (NYSE: BTU) still is in providing an energy source countries can rely on, at least for the foreseeable future.

Bit Mining Ltd. (BTCM)

QualityStocks, MarketClub Analysis, Schaeffer's, Wall St. Warrior, StocksEarning, smartmoneytrading, MarketBeat, INO Market Report and 247 Market News reported earlier on Bit Mining Ltd. (BTCM), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

Bitcoin has had a great run with a near 40% rise this year, even after Genesis, a crypto lender declared bankruptcy months after FTX sunk in November. Let us decipher the driving force behind the cryptocurrency rally.

Most markets have their peak sales in January as money is deployed then by fund managers, according to industry insiders. This year has seen a rise in risk assets as NASDAQ registered an 8.8% gain. Bitcoin on the other hand was massively shorted after FTX caved in last year. This January during crypto’s unexpected price rise, short sellers closed their positions to buy Bitcoin, skyrocketing the price further.

Following the FTX’s closure, open contracts for Bitcoin on Deribit climaxed, indicating optimum activity levels, noted Luuk Stijers, chief commercial officer at Deribit. Crypto market panic may have eased in January with market indicators suggesting an institutional interest resurgence.

Despite the Bitcoin comeback, experts envision further drawbacks, which may cause a drop below the $15,480 previous fall. Analysts think the market has more risks than opportunities currently.

There is a challenge macroeconomically, owing to high inflation rates and looming recession in the United States. Following the collapse of several crypto enterprises, regulators can drown the market to new lows quite easily, observers say. But Stijers is hopeful that the rally will push the market into recovery mode.

Tesla did not trade in Bitcoins during 2022’s final months, even though Bitcoin fell to $15,480, the lowest in two years. Tesla banked on Bitcoin and invested $1.5 billion in 2021 when crypto was trading at more than $30,000. Tesla noted a $34 million loss in the last quarter, indicating digital asset value at $184 million, a fall from $218 in September.

The Bitcoin prices rose in the past week, trading at $23,027, while Ether gained 5% ($1,610) in the same period, noted CoinDesk data.

Here are how some crypto companies traded in the past week:

Coinbase Global Inc. amassed 8.6% to get $53.67 last week while MTSR shot up 9.6% to $242.77. Riot Blockchain rose 7.1%, and rival company, Marathon Digital Inc., went up 17.9% gaining $8.65. EBON stocks lost 10.9% in the past week.

ProShares BITO rose to 9.3% while Short Bitcoin ETF BITI dropped to $27.53. Grayscale Bitcoin GBTC went up 5.5% to reach $12.13 by Thursday last week.

It would be interesting to track how other crypto mining companies such as Bit Mining Ltd. (NYSE: BTCM) fared in comparison to the other industry actors on a week-by-week basis.

Bit Mining Ltd. (BTCM), closed Wednesday's trading session at $3.88, up 13.1195%, on 696,269 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 22,069 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $1.40/$34.799.

The QualityStocks Company Corner

Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF).

Arizona Metals owns two highly compelling properties in Arizona,the Kay Mine Project and Sugarloaf Peak

The company had $58 million in cash at the end of Q3, enough tocomplete its ongoing Phase 2 drilling program, as well as a largePhase 3 program to continue building the resource at the Kay MineDeposit, and explore around it for additional deposits

The latest drill results provided more compelling data, includingdiscovery of a new gold/copper zone and extension of knownmineralization

The U.S. mining industry produced $90.4 billion in non-fuel metals in 2021, with Arizona being the single-largestproducer on a percentage bases, outshining neighbor Nevada as theonly two states to command double-digit share at 11.0% and 10.3%,respectively. Arizona is widely known for its copper and goldprowess, contributing a whopping 71% of the nation’s copperproduction in 2021. If Arizona Metals (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF) has anything to say about it, the state will continue itsdominance for decades to come as it unearths a world-classgold/copper/zinc VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) deposit.

Arizona Metals Corp. (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF) is a mineral exploration company engaged in advancing precious and base metal deposits in the state of Arizona. Its flagship copper-gold-zinc-silver asset is the Kay Mine Project, located in Yavapai County. The company also owns Sugarloaf Peak gold project in La Paz County.

The company in October 2022 received permit approval from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for two new drill pads, located approximately 1,200 meters west of the Kay Mine Deposit. These new pads will allow for testing of the company’s Western Target, while also allowing for drilling of additional coincident anomalies located between the Central and Western Targets. Construction of the drill road for the Central Target (located 500 meters west of the Kay Mine Deposit) is currently underway, with drilling expected to begin in November 2022. Road construction for the Western Target will begin upon confirmation of BLM acceptance of the company’s posted bond, with drilling expected to commence in Q1 2023.

The company is fully funded, with $60 million in cash as of June 30, 2022, to complete the remaining 18,000 meters planned for the Phase 2 program at Kay, as well as an additional 76,000 meters in the Phase 3 program (budgeted at $27 million), which will be used to test the numerous parallel targets heading west of the Kay Deposit, as well as the northern and southern extensions of the Kay Deposit.

Arizona Metals Corp. is based in Toronto, Canada.

Projects

Arizona Metals Corp. owns 100% of the Kay Mine property in Yavapai County, which is located on a combination of patented and BLM claims totaling 1,300 acres that are not subject to any royalties. An historic estimate by Exxon Minerals in 1982 reported a “proven and probable reserve of 6.4 million short tons at a grade of 2.2% copper, 2.8 grams per ton gold, 3.03% zinc, and 55 grams per ton silver.” The historic estimate has not been verified as a current mineral resource. None of the key assumptions, parameters, and methods used to prepare the historic estimate were reported by Exxon, and no resource categories were used.

Market Opportunity

The World Gold Council, an industry association representing gold producers with hundreds of mining operations in nearly 50 countries around the world, reports that global demand for gold during the first six months of 2022 was 2,189 tons, a 12% increase in demand over the same period in 2021. Demand came primarily from gold bar and coin investors, jewelry consumers, central bank purchases to bolster currency reserves and technology manufacturing.

The average price per ounce for the period was $1,871, marking a 1% year-over-year increase. The council reported gold mine production for the period was up 3% over 2021 at 1,764 tons. For the remainder of 2022 and into 2023, the council projects flat gold demand with possible slight increases in gold mine production. The council notes that unpredictable geopolitical factors, the Ukraine war for example, and likelihood of global economic slowdown could have significant near-term impact on gold demand and prices.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF).

EverGen (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQB: EVGIF), Canada’s renewable natural gas (“RNG”) infrastructure platform,is featured in an editorial published by NetworkNewsWire ("NNW").The editorial discusses the booming market for renewable energy;much of the growth is rooted in growing concerns about climatechange, energy security and global initiatives to reign in carbonemissions. To add to the momentum, the Inflation Reduction Act(IRA) was signed into law last last year. The act is the largestinvestment to date made by the U.S. government in renewableenergies and budgets $369 billion to accelerate efforts to reducedependence on fossil fuels. NNW is one of more than 50 trustedbrands within the InvestorBrandNetwork (“IBN”), a multifacetedfinancial news and publishing company for private and publicentities.

“According to some experts, the IRA is expected to more than tripleAmerica’s clean-energy production by 2030, resulting in about 40%of the nation’s energy coming from sources such as wind, solar andrenewable natural gas (RNG),” the editorial states. “For this tohappen, about 550 gigawatts of new energy supply from green sourceswill come online over the next seven years. Against the backdrop ofthis generational opportunity, EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSX.V:EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), a specialist in RNG, has positioned itself asan emerging leader in the booming renewables sector.”

EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF) is developing Canada’s Renewable Natural Gas Infrastructure Platform, starting on the west coast in British Columbia. The company is combating climate change and helping communities contribute to a sustainable future by acquiring, developing, building, owning and operating a portfolio of renewable natural gas (RNG), waste-to-energy, and related infrastructure projects.

While EverGen is currently focused on British Columbia, its continued growth is expected across other regions of North America. RNG is produced differently than conventional natural gas, without drilling wells. RNG is derived from biogas, which is captured from decomposing organic waste in landfills, food waste, agricultural waste matter and wastewater from treatment facilities. This waste feedstock is supplied to an anaerobic digester which contains bacteria that breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen. The resulting biogas is captured and cleaned to create carbon neutral or carbon negative RNG to be used by the existing North American gas pipeline grid. By capturing these emissions and transforming them into RNG, then combusting into CO2, the overall greenhouse gases (GHG) impact is materially less potent than allowing natural decomposition to release methane into the atmosphere. Liquid and solid digestate matter is a byproduct of the RNG production process and is used as fertilizer and in other applications.

EverGen operates three projects in British Columbia. The company was incorporated in 2020 and went public in 2021, with its common shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under ticker symbol ‘EVGN’. In February 2022, EverGen’s common shares began trading on the OTCQB Venture Market in the U.S. under ticker symbol ‘EVGIF’. The company is headquartered in Vancouver.

Portfolio Projects

Fraser Valley Biogas is one of three projects in EverGen’s portfolio. Located in Abbotsford, British Columbia, the facility has been digesting manure and off-farm organics since 2011 and was the first agricultural digester in Canada to produce RNG. The RNG generated through this project is part of a FortisBC program to supply renewable gas to homes, businesses and other customers. Fraser Valley Biogas also provides Abbotsford farms with renewable fertilizer via the digestate produced. EverGen acquired Fraser Valley Biogas early in 2021 and is currently enhancing and expanding the facility. These optimization projects resulted in record production during the month of September 2021, supporting the growing demand for RNG in British Columbia. Optimization activities contributed an additional 18% of RNG production for September and a 9% higher year-to-date production compared to the previous year. The facility produces approximately 80,000 gigajoules of RNG, enough to heat more than 1,000 homes for a year.

Net Zero Waste Abbotsford, a wholly owned EverGen subsidiary and portfolio project, is an existing composting and organic processing facility and RNG expansion project. The British Columbia Utilities Commission recently approved a 20-year offtake agreement between the facility and FortisBC, an electricity and gas utility. Under this agreement, FortisBC will purchase up to 173,000 gigajoules of RNG annually for injection into its natural gas system upon completion of an anaerobic digester project at Net Zero Waste Abbotsford. Once construction is complete, this project is expected to produce enough energy to meet the needs of more than 1,900 homes.

Sea to Sky Soils, a wholly owned EverGen subsidiary and portfolio project, is an existing composting and organic processing facility and potential future RNG expansion project which has been operating near Pemberton, British Columbia, on Lil’wat Nation land since 2012. The Lil’wat Nation is a key partner and supporter of the facility, which has employed a majority of its staff from the First Nation since inception. The Sea to Sky Soils facility processed approximately 160 percent of its forecast tonnage in the second half of 2021. In total, Sea to Sky Soils processed approximately 36,000 tons of organic waste in 2021. The facility is working with the Ministry of Environment to expand its operational capacity in 2022. EverGen has partnered with local municipalities – including Metro Vancouver and the municipality of Pemberton – for the delivery of additional organic waste to the facility. The facility is an important part of EverGen’s RNG infrastructure platform and serves as a source of valuable feedstock to support the company’s existing and future operations.

Market Outlook

A report from Global Market Insights states that the biogas market is projected to see significant growth over the next few years, driven by a shifting preference to utilize biogas to reduce emission levels from traditional fuels. Escalating RNG usage by gas utilities as a sustainable and low carbon alternative to supply heat and electricity in industries and buildings will further stimulate growth. RNG is increasingly deployed across the transport sector, especially for heavy vehicles and vessels, to abate GHG emissions.

Many North American gas utilities have set RNG targets of 5% to 15% of production by volume in 2030, compared to less than 1% by volume in 2020. FortisBC has a goal of including 15% RNG in its gas supply by 2030. EverGen believes this presents a potential C$16 billion+ opportunity for RNG producers.

Market Outlook

According to Grand View Research (Patient Monitoring Devices Market Size & Share Report, 2030), the global patient monitoring devices market size was valued at $47.0 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% from 2022 to 2030. The expansion of the industry can be attributed to the rise in demand for monitoring devices used to measure, distribute, record, and display a variety of biometric data, including blood pressure, temperature, and blood oxygen saturation level.

The growing number of chronic disorders, such as diabetes, stroke, and kidney disease, are driving the demand for patient monitoring devices. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 422 million people globally have diabetes. Likewise, the number of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients (COPD) is increasing rapidly.

According to the WHO, around 235 million people suffer from asthma. As a result, peak flow meters, which are used to gauge respiration rate, are increasingly used. The market for patient monitoring devices is driven by the simplicity with which it is handled, transported, and remotely accessible. Major market players are engaging in a variety of tactics to expand the industry, including partnerships, cooperation, innovation, launches, and mergers.

During the COVID-19 outbreak, social segregation and quarantining procedures were put into place worldwide. Many people avoided regular hospital visits as a result. Many people now need routine home temperature and oxygen level monitoring to maintain track of their health, thereby demanding monitoring devices at home.

Various government programs are supporting the pandemic outbreak. The FDA has granted Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for a few wearables and patient monitoring devices to improve access to medicines, monitor patients more closely, and lessen the risk of SARS-CoV-2 exposure to medical professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The growing popularity of wearable and remote patient monitoring devices is another factor fueling the market’s expansion. By fusing clinical symptomology with vital indicators, wearable technology helps in the diagnosis of many chronic diseases.

SideChannel is committed to creating top-tier cybersecurity programs for SMBs to help them protect their data and assets. To date, SideChannel has created more than 50 multi-layered cybersecurity programs for its clients.

 

Reports show that cyberattacks on SMBs have increased in recent years, as organizations’ network attack surfaces have grown exponentially with remote and in-office workers increasingly relying on cloud environments, mobile devices, software applications and third-party suppliers to conduct business.

SideChannel continues expanding its service offerings, workforce and customer base, attracting over 20 virtual CISOs to serve across industries including fintech, biotech, healthcare, manufacturing, legal, defense and technology services. The company is based in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Market Opportunity

An analysis from ReportLinker states that the global cybersecurity market is expected to grow from an estimated value of $173.5 billion in 2022 to $266.2 billion by 2027, recording a CAGR of 8.9% for the period.

The increased number of data breaches worldwide, the ability of malicious actors to operate from anywhere in the world, the links between cyberspace and physical systems, and the difficulty of reducing vulnerabilities and consequences in complex cyber networks are some factors driving cyber security market growth, according to the report.

A lack of cybersecurity professionals and the budget constraints among SMBs and start-ups in developing economies are expected to hinder market growth.

REZYFi, Inc.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight REZYFi, Inc.

REZYFi, a growth mortgage origination and specialized financing companythat targets licensed and permitted cannabis companies, owners ofreal estate who lease to cannabis companies and companies andindividual homeowners, is set to benefit from the growing supportfor the cannabis industry. “The United States Department ofAgriculture (‘USDA’) is set to include hemp data in its 2022 Censusof Agriculture. It is noted that with this inclusion, theorganization is pushing the conversation around hemp and marijuanaforward. It also signals the eventual integration and support ofthe overall cannabis industry. With this support, various companieswithin the sector are set to benefit, REZYFi being one of them,” arecent article reads. “REZYFi is banking on the federallegalization of this product. Its management is optimistic thatthis recent move by the USDA to include hemp data is a step in theright direction. More importantly, the company understands thatthis inclusion gives farmers a voice in the matter and the power toinfluence policy in a way that would favor the industry’s growth…The increasing support of the cannabis industry is proving morepromising while presenting many growth opportunities for companiessuch as REZYFi.” To view the full article, visit https://ibn.fm/tf7YN.

Currently, cannabis is legal in 21 states for recreational usageand 39 states for medical use, with total revenues anticipated toexceed $38.8 billion through 2023. The next logical stage in the development of the cannabis market is federal financial regulation for complying enterprises.Theoretically, most other sectors’ opportunities for credit cards,deposits and loans should be available to the marijuana business aswell. However, there hasn’t been a legislative majority or thepolitical desire to make tax and banking reform regarding cannabisbusiness to happen, despite numerous efforts in Congress to do so.Despite numerous attempts, the usual bills from opposing parties inthe U.S. Congress and Senate — MORE, CAOA and SAFE — have not been successfully passed. Furthermore, the outcomes of the latest elections do not indicate any quick progress. Therefore, national financialreform may eventually lead to a lower cost of borrowing, but youshouldn’t count on it in the short-term. Entities such as REZYFi Inc. are working to bridge the financing gap for marijuana industryplayers. More actors of this nature could eventually help theindustry thrive despite lacking access to mainstream banks.

REZYFi, Inc. is a cannabis mortgage bank servicing the needs of both traditional and non-traditional consumers and businesses. Its target markets include licensed and permitted cannabis companies, owners of real estate who lease to cannabis companies, and companies and individual homeowners seeking a variety of real estate-related first and additional mortgage-based financing and project-specific financings, such as solar installations and real estate development projects.

Headquartered in Miami, Florida, REZYFi operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries – REZYFi Lending, which primarily addresses emerging real estate-related financing opportunities, and ResMac Inc., the company’s traditional mortgage origination, correspondent and servicing operation. REZYFi is currently licensed in 34 U.S. states, with plans to expand to all remaining states later this year.

REZYFi is positioned as one of first cannabis mortgage bankers in the U.S., while most traditional lenders are still reticent to serve the state-licensed cannabis industry.

Operations

REZYFi Lending

REZYFi Lending leverages a wide network to offer options such as 15- and 30-year fixed-rate loans, FHA loans, VA loans, reverse mortgages, jumbo loans and adjustable-rate mortgages.

Looking ahead, the company expects increased funding in marketing and loan agents to drive significant origination growth over the next two years, further supported by the planned launch of a high-margin cannabis division later this year.

ResMac Inc.

ResMac has been in operation for 13 years, having closed more than 20,000 loans for more than 15,000 clients. The company expects to accumulate $285 million in retail origination in 2023, alongside $250 million in wholesale origination for the same period. ResMac is further targeting $600 million in origination through its mortgage correspondent operations for 2023.

Through its ResMac subsidiary, REZYFi operates as a direct lender and originator of residential mortgages, with active mortgage correspondent and mortgage servicing operations. Through its correspondent segment, ResMac primarily purchases and aggregates residential mortgages from trusted third-party originators.

The company intends to harvest the database of customers within its mortgage servicing operations as an essential source of additional growth, especially relative to the new alternative residential loan programs being offered.

Corporate Strengths

  • Experience – REZYFi is led by a seasoned management team with significant expertise spanning a wide range of real estate and financing subsectors. The team also has extensive experience in the cannabis and hemp marketplace, which the company intends to leverage as it navigates the changing landscape of the cannabis industry while sourcing the best opportunities in the sector.
  • Network of Independent Brokers – Over the past five years, REZYFi has developed an extensive network of independent mortgage-related brokers and licensed loan officers. The company is currently training the network members on its new service offerings, with many already launching sales efforts. REZYFi believes this network will be a vital asset moving forward as other firms in the sector terminate relationships in the face of slowing mortgage business in a rising interest rate environment.
  • Proprietary Technology – REZYFi has invested heavily in designing, building and implementing proprietary automated/machine learning technology to shorten loan processing timeframes and increase efficiencies, allowing it to operate its legacy business at staffing levels meaningfully below those of its competitors.

Market Overview

REZYFi’s diversified approach to the real estate lending sector positions it to capitalize on growth in multiple verticals in the years to come.

In the first quarter of 2022, lenders issued 2.71 million residential loans, with the average balance for a first mortgage climbing to a record high of $298,324 in 2021, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. This trend is expected to continue, with Freddie Mac forecasting a 10.4 percent increase in home prices in 2022 and a 5.0 percent bump in 2023. Growth prospects in the cannabis industry paint a similar picture.

The National Association of Realtors® issued a report in April 2021 examining the correlation between cannabis legalization and real estate demand. In states where prescription and recreational cannabis use is legal, more than a third of surveyed agents reported an increase in demand for warehouses. Likewise, 23 percent of those surveyed reported an increase in demand for storefronts, and 28 percent observed increased demand for land. As other states look to join the 19 that have embraced full cannabis legalization, this rising demand could create an opportunity for REZYFi’s cannabis-focused initiatives.

In total, an analysis by market research firm Business Research Insights projects the global loan servicing market to reach a value of nearly $1.5 billion by 2028, up from $680.8 million in 2021. Those figures represent a CAGR of 11.0 percent during the forecast period of 2022-2028.

The Decarbonization Movement

Soaring and unstable energy/fuel costs continue to highlight the importance of rethinking the traditional approach to powering homes, from top to bottom. While most everyone is well aware of the remarkable, multi-trillion-dollar opportunity the electric vehicle transformation offers to investors (in addition to the benefits to the climate problem), few recognize that the all-electric home market is as large as electric vehicles and equally important to reducing carbon emissions.

U.S. energy expenditures clocked in at $3,891 per person in 2018, leading to estimated spending of $1.3 trillion on energy that year alone. Despite this, fewer than 3% of U.S. homes are currently powered by solar. This number is poised to increase exponentially as both new and existing residences transition to zero carbon models.

GST estimates that if all the homes in America were powered by its technology, carbon pollution could be reduced by an estimated 1.9 trillion pounds per year, greatly reducing the negative impacts on our climate.

GeoSolarPlus®

The GeoSolarPlus (“GSP”) system combines solar power, geothermal ground-sourced energy and other clean energy technologies into one fully integrated system.
Key benefits of the GSP system include:

  • Making a real planet-changing difference in reducing air pollution
  • Eliminating or significantly reducing homeowners’ future utility bills

Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: ELO) (OTCQX: ELRRF) is a publicly traded exploration and mine development company with a portfolio of gold and base-metal properties in Bolivia, Peru and Quebec.

The company has an option to acquire a 99% interest in the highly prospective Iska Iska Property, classified as a silver-tin polymetallic epithermal-porphyry complex, a significant mineral deposit type in the Potosi Department of southern Bolivia. Iska Iska is a road-accessible, royalty-free property.

Eloro also owns an 82% interest in the La Victoria Gold/Silver Project, located in the North-Central Mineral Belt of Peru, some 50 kilometers south of Barrick’s Lagunas Norte Gold Mine and Pan American Silver’s La Arena Gold Mine. La Victoria consists of eight mining concessions and eight mining claims encompassing approximately 89 square kilometers. La Victoria has good infrastructure, with access to road, water and electricity, and is located at an altitude that ranges from 3,150 meters to 4,400 meters above sea level.

The company has a strong management and technical team working diligently to uncover the value of both Iska Iska and La Victoria. Eloro is based in Toronto, Canada.

Projects

Iska Iska – Potosi, Bolivia

Iska Iska is associated with a Miocene possibly collapsed/resurgent caldera, emplaced on Ordovician age rocks with major breccia pipes, dacitic domes and hydrothermal breccias. The property is wholly controlled by the title holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. It is located 48 kilometers north of Tupiza city, in the Sud Chichas Province of the Department of Potosi. This is an important mineral deposit type in the prolific South Mineral Belt of Bolivia. Eloro commissioned a NI 43-101 Technical Report on Iska Iska, which was completed by Micon International Limited and is available on Eloro’s website and under its filings on SEDAR.

A fully financed drill program is currently underway on the property, situated near world-class deposits including Silver Sand, San Bartolomé, Pulacayo, San Cristobal, San Vicente, Chorolque, Tasna, Choroma and Siete Suyos. Iska Iska is in the southwest part of the Eastern Cordillera, which hosts a number of major polymetallic mines and mineral deposits. Drilling and continuous channel sampling results have demonstrated some very high metal values, especially silver and tin, within an immense system, where mineralization has been encountered in every drill hole to date. The company believes there is excellent potential for world-class bulk mineable deposits.

La Victoria – Ancash, Peru

The La Victoria project, targeting gold and silver production, is situated near world-class, low-cost gold producers Pan American Silver and Barrick Gold Corporation. Located in Ancash Department, La Victoria sits on the western slopes of the Peruvian Andes. The property is located 12 hours from Lima, with a travel distance of 600 kilometers. The nearest road accessible population centers from La Victoria are Huandoval, Pallasca and Cabana. The project includes four principal mineralized zones in Peru’s prolific North-Central Mineral Belt – San Markito, Victoria, Victoria South and Ccori Orcco – with excellent potential for gold discovery. Operations at La Victoria are planned to proceed with a 2,000-meter diamond drilling program to test targets to outline potential resources at San Markito. Trenching and sampling confirmed high silver values and veins at San Markito in 2020.

Market Outlook

According to industry association The Silver Institute, the outlook for silver demand is exceptionally promising, with global demand forecast to rise to a record high of 1.112 billion ounces in 2022. The increase will be driven by record silver industrial fabrication, which is forecast to improve by 5%, as silver’s use expands primarily in solar energy and electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. The institute states that government commitments to carbon neutrality have resulted in a rapid expansion of green energy projects, driving record photovoltaic panel installations which are expected to lift silver demand in this segment to an all-time high in 2022.

Rising demand in the electronics industry is also boosting the demand for tin, which is primarily used in solder. The electronics and electrical industries use solders containing 40-70% tin, which provide strong and reliable joints under a variety of environmental conditions. At present, the majority of the assemblers are using patented tin-and-copper-based solders. Mordor Intelligence estimated tin demand at 387 kilotons in 2021 and forecasts demand growth of 2.5% annually through 2027. Over the medium term, surging demand from the EV market and increasing applications in the electrical and electronics industry is expected to drive the market.

India Globalization Capital Inc. (NYSE American: IGC)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight India Globalization Capital Inc. (NYSE American: IGC).

Earlier this week, the FDA published its final guidance on cannabisdrug development in the federal register. This comes after itreleased a draft version in 2020. The guidance outlines the basic clinical study standards, considerations for researchers and the drug development process.The legalization of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill is one major reason for the guidance’s release because it made thedrug development process for hemp different from marijuana, whichis still classified as a Schedule I substance under the ControlledSubstances Act. In its statement, the agency said that theguidance outlined its views on topics related with the development of cannabis and cannabis-deriveddrugs for humans. The FDA also made a number of nonbindingrecommendations for scientists interested in the development ofcannabis drugs that could be commercialized. The advice, the agencynoted, was centered on addressing the regulatory controls and legaldefinitions related to cannabis as well as specific questionsraised about drugs that contained cannabis. For entities that arealready conducting cannabis drug development, such as India Globalization Capital Inc. (NYSE American: IGC), the new guidance may simply clarify what they are already doingbecause any clinical development program can only take place oncethe needed approvals are granted by regulators, such as the DEA andthe FDA.

India Globalization Capital Inc. (NYSE American: IGC), through subsidiary IGC Pharma, develops, patents, and markets advanced THC-based drug formulations for the treatment of symptoms related to various diseases including but not limited to Alzheimer’s disease, Tourette syndrome, chronic pain, and pet seizures.

IGC’s leading drug candidate, IGC-AD1, has completed Phase 1 of a safety and tolerability trial and entered Phase 2 trials for treating agitation in patients with Alzheimer’s dementia, the first study in humans of a natural tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) compound plus another molecule (www.clinicaltrials.gov). As of September 2022, the IGC trial is the only ongoing Phase 2 trial of a natural THC-based formulation on Alzheimer’s patients.

The company’s other drug candidate, TGR-63, is an enzyme inhibitor that has shown in preclinical trials the potential to reduce neurotoxicity in Alzheimer’s cell lines. Both drug candidates have shown their ability to ameliorate beta amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s cell lines and improve memory in Alzheimer’s mouse models. Beta amyloid plaques are a key hallmark of Alzheimer’s and an important target of Alzheimer’s pharmaceutical drug development.

Neuro Psychiatric Symptoms (NPS) are not only debilitating for Alzheimer’s patients; they also place an immense emotional burden on their caregivers. Beyond reducing symptoms, IGC-AD1’s active molecules and TGR-63 have also shown promise in preclinical trials to reduce important hallmarks of Alzheimer’s including plaques and tangles, as well as improving the treatment of memory loss.

Over the past eight years, the IGC team has amassed a deep knowledge of cannabinoid science, including extraction, isolation, purification, and development. The company’s strategy is to leverage its unique end-to-end capabilities, platform, and expertise to develop a class-leading program and bring it to market quickly and cost efficiently to treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

The company also has a family of cannabidiol (CBD)-based consumer products (www.Holief.com) such as pain relief creams, pain relief gels, purpose gummies, tinctures, and capsules targeting women’s wellness, with a particular focus on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and dysmenorrhea (period cramps). In addition, the company targets individuals that need sleep-aids with its specially formulated low melatonin cannabinoid gummies.

IGC has also introduced a low-calorie CBD- and caffeine-infused energy beverage brand (www.SundaySeltzer.com) that is currently available for purchase. The company’s brands are founded on the belief that effective natural solutions should be affordable and accessible to everyone. As the demand for natural products targeting women’s wellness and energy drinks continue to grow, these products are seeing strong traction in the market.

The company operates three facilities – a large GMP (Good Manufacturing Production Standards) certified facility that includes extraction, distillation, and manufacturing, in Washington State; a GMP-211 (pharmaceutical) grade facility in Maryland; and a facility licensed for controlled substances including cannabis in Bogota, Colombia, with complete access to legal licensed cannabis where the company conducts its testing.

In addition, the company’s development under Magistral Formulations is approved by INVIMA (Colombia National Food and Drug Surveillance Institute) to treat neurological disorders, non-oncological chronic pain, and mental disorders.

IGC’s intellectual property (IP) portfolio comprises of eight patents that it controls and seven patent applications. The portfolio includes #11,446,276, a patent for extreme low dose THC treatment of Alzheimer’s that was granted in September 2022.

The company is headquartered in Potomac, Maryland.

IGC-AD1

IGC-AD1 is the company’s leading drug candidate for the treatment and relief of Alzheimer’s symptoms. A significant amount of research on Alzheimer’s cell lines has shown that the active agents in IGC-AD1 reduce plaques and neurofibrillary tangles that are the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s. Further, micro-dosing of THC, as shown in cell lines, could increase the functioning of mitochondria and potentially promote the growth of new neural pathways (neurogenesis). The research shows that micro-dosing of THC affects the brain radically differently from the normal higher dosing of THC.

While there is a significant body of research showing that THC is neuro-toxic at normal levels of dosing, micro-dosing of THC has been shown to be non-toxic to neurons. With the results of these preclinical studies, the company developed an oral formulation, IGC-AD1. The company recently completed a safety and tolerability Phase 1 trial on Alzheimer’s patients and has initiated a Phase 2, multi-site, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the safety and efficacy of IGC-AD1 on agitation in participants with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease at sites in the U.S. and Canada. IGC expects the Phase 2 trial to take between 9 and 12 months to complete, barring unknown factors such as, for example, a resurgence of COVID and the enforcement of lockdowns and travel restrictions.

With further successful trials and FDA approvals, IGC hopes to bring a drug based on natural THC as an effective treatment for agitation in Alzheimer’s to market.

TGR-63

The company’s other molecule, TGR-63, has been shown to reduce the neurotoxicity that impacts memory loss in preclinical trials with mice. On a dose dependent manner, transgenic Alzheimer’s mice treated with TGR-63 showed improvement in memory relative to control.

Both drug candidates, IGC-AD1 and TGR-63, have shown their ability to reduce the brain plaques associated with memory loss in Alzheimer’s in mice.

With further successful trials and FDA approvals, IGC hopes to bring TGR-63 as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease to market.

Market Opportunity

Alzheimer’s disease impacts over 55 million people worldwide and about 5.5 million individuals in the U.S. Over 70% of these patients face debilitating symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and agitation (Mendez, 2021). Agitation in dementia patients can include excessive physical movement and verbal activity, restlessness, pacing, belligerence, aggression, screaming, crying, and wandering.

In 2020, the estimated healthcare costs for Alzheimer’s disease in the U.S. were $305 billion. Medicare and Medicaid covered about 70% of those costs, leaving considerable burden on patients and families. At the current rate of growth of Alzheimer’s and other dementia diagnoses, those costs are estimated to reach over $1 trillion by 2050.

Currently, there are no FDA-approved medications to alleviate the symptoms of dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease, providing a tremendous opportunity for formulations that can have an impact on quality of life and disease progression.
