MannKind Corporation (MNKD)
InvestorsHub, MarketWatch, and Stockhouse reported on MannKind Corporation (MNKD), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.
MannKind Corporation concentrates on the development and commercialization of inhaled therapeutic products. These products are for patients with diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension and diabetes. The Company also employs field sales and medical representatives throughout the United States. MannKind has its head office in Westlake Village, California. It also has a state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Danbury, Connecticut.
A biopharmaceutical enterprise, MannKind is now commercializing Afrezza® (insulin human) inhalation powder. This is its first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved product. Afrezza® is the only inhaled rapid-acting mealtime insulin in the United States. It is available in the U.S. by prescription from pharmacies across the country.
Afrezza® uses MannKind’s proprietary Technosphere® formulation technology. The basis of this technology is on a class of organic molecules designed to self-assemble into small particles onto which drug molecules can be loaded.
Afrezza® is available via prescription only. It is a fast-acting inhaled insulin used to improve glycemic control in adults with diabetes. MannKind’s single-use and reusable Inhalers are breath-powered. Therefore, they require only the patient’s inhalation effort to deliver the powder.
Afrezza® is taken at the beginning of a meal using the specially designed inhaler. One breath delivers one dose. MannKind’s inhalers efficiently focus the energy supplied by the patient’s breath directly onto the dry powder. This results in high delivery performance.
Afrezza® dissolves rapidly upon inhalation to the deep lung. It delivers insulin quickly to the bloodstream. Peak insulin levels are attained within 12 to 15 minutes of use and help to control post-meal blood sugar spikes that affect HbA1C levels.
MannKind’s dry powder formulations are based on FDA-approved excipients. This includes fumaryl diketopiperazine (the excipient used in Technosphere® inhalation powders) and mannitol. The Company’s pipeline includes Epinephrine Technosphere® for anaphylaxis; and Treprostinil Technosphere® for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). Additionally, its pipeline includes Palonosetron Technosphere® for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV).
Recently, MannKind announced that new data for Afrezza from the STAT study (STudy comparing prandial insulin Aspart vs. Technosphere insulin in patients with Type 1 diabetes on multiple daily injections) were released June 23, 2018 at the American Diabetes Association’s 78th Scientific Sessions, which took place June 22-26, 2018, in Orlando, Florida.
The STAT study involved 60 patients with Type 1 diabetes. It is the first randomized, controlled study to use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with Afrezza. The dual primary endpoints were assessment of glucose time-in-range and postprandial glucose (PPG) excursions in the 1-4-hour post-meal period.
Mr. David Kendall, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of MannKind Corporation, stated, “We are very pleased to present results of the novel STAT trial. This is the first time we have seen a rapid-acting mealtime insulin provide a superior outcome when utilized with CGM in a treat-to-target dosing strategy. The results demonstrated that Afrezza dosed before and (as needed) after meals significantly improved all-day glucose time-in-range, limited daytime glucose variability and significantly reduced the overall rate and time spent in hypoglycemia.”
MannKind Corporation (MNKD), closed Monday's trading session at $1.90, even for the day, on 995,772 volume with 3,236 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 2,401,483 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $1.085/$6.96.

Vitality Biopharma, Inc. (VBIO)
Stock Beast, SmallCap Network, and Promotion Stock Secrets reported previously on Vitality Biopharma, Inc. (VBIO), and we are highlighting the Company today, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.
Vitality Biopharma, Inc.’s commitment is to the development of cannabinoid prodrug pharmaceuticals, and to unlocking the power of cannabinoids for the treatment of serious neurological and inflammatory disorders. Since 2012, it has developed a unique capability to produce molecules via glycosylation, a form of enzymatic biosynthesis that was originally developed to improve the taste of stevia. The platform is well suited for the discovery of new pharmaceutical products. OTCQB-listed, Vitality Biopharma is based in Los Angeles, California.
Late in 2015, Vitality successfully modified cannabidiol (CBD), which is not psychoactive, and in ongoing work has created a novel class of pharmaceuticals named cannabosides. Cannabosides, upon ingestion, can enable the selective delivery of THC and cannabidiol (CBD) to the gastrointestinal tract. Site-specific delivery could enable oral drug formulations of cannabinoids to provide therapeutic benefits. This is while lessening or avoiding the systemic delivery of THC into the bloodstream.
Vitality Biopharma completed preclinical pharmacokinetics studies with its proprietary THC glycosides to analyze their bioavailability. The Company has confirmed that large concentrations can be delivered orally without significant transit of THC to the brain, enabling their formulation within pharmaceuticals where drug psychoactivity will be lessened or eliminated.
The Company can biosynthesize cannabinoid glycosides (cannabosides) through enzyme biosynthesis. Vitality is one of only a very few groups internationally who know how to produce and work with the enzymes that perform glycosylation. It has been focused on it because the same enzymes are used to modify the taste of stevia (steviol glycosides).
Vitality Biopharma announced earlier this year that it has positive results indicating a new use for its proprietary prodrug cannabinoid delivery platform. Many colon cancer cell types were screened, each with unique combinations of genetic mutations that drive cancerous growth, and including a cell line known to express drug-resistance genes such as PD-L1.
Vitality Biopharma found that cannabidiol (CBD) universally inhibited cell growth at concentrations similar to established chemotherapeutics. It also found that its cannabidiol prodrug was not toxic to the human cells at the concentrations tested, demonstrating the relative safety of its prodrug delivery system.
Vitality Biopharma has obtained positive results demonstrating antimicrobial activity of cannabinoids. It filed for patent protection on the use of cannabinoid compounds for the treatment of microbes. This includes Clostridium difficile and other "superbug" pathogens.
In July, Vitality Biopharma announced positive preclinical efficacy results for its gut-targeted cannabosides in the treatment of colitis. The Company has developed a new class of cannabinoid prodrugs, called cannabosides that upon ingestion can be targeted and limited to the gastrointestinal tract thus avoiding drug psychoactivity and unforeseen side effects. In a preclinical model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cannabosides were able to decrease weight loss, lessen damage to the colon, and noticeably improve gastrointestinal health versus the placebo controls.
Last month, Vitality Biopharma announced the attainment of a biosynthesis breakthrough. The Company has developed a proprietary biosynthesis technology, which can modify cannabinoids to create pharmaceutical prodrugs that have no psychoactivity and that can provide targeted disease treatment. The process involves small molecule glycosylation, where sugar molecules are attached to cannabinoids, creating new compounds called cannabinoid glycosides, or cannabosides.
Vitality Biopharma announced in October the publication of a global PCT patent application that encompasses a new class of cannabinoid pharmaceuticals. The publication of the international patent filing is the first public disclosure of its full content. This includes 79 patent claims and close to 200 individual compounds. Furthermore, Vitality has filed for intellectual property (IP) coverage for methods to treat dysbiosis, gastrointestinal infections, and other digestive disorders employing cannabinoids.
Vitality Biopharma, Inc. (VBIO), closed Monday's trading session at $1.90, up 4.97%, on 201,508 volume with 299 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 108,694 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $1.05/$2.37.
CytoDyn, Inc. (CYDY)
OTCtipReporter, SeeThruEquity Research, Stock News Now, PennyStockRumors.net, StockOodles, PennyStockScholar, Profitable Trader Authority, and AllPennyStocks reported previously on CytoDyn, Inc. (CYDY), and today we are highlighting the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.
A biotechnology company, CytoDyn, Inc. is concentrating on developing subcutaneously delivered humanized cell-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as entry inhibitors for the treatment and prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The Company has one of the leading mAbs under development for HIV infection: PRO 140. This mAb is its novel self-injectable antibody for the treatment of HIV. PRO 140 has finished Phase 2 clinical trials with demonstrated antiviral activity in humans and is now in Phase 3. CytoDyn has its corporate office in Vancouver, Washington.
PRO 140 is a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CCR5, a molecular portal that HIV uses to enter cells. PRO 140 belongs to a new class of HIV/AIDS therapeutics - viral-entry inhibitors. The intention of these is to protect healthy cells from viral infection. PRO 140 blocks the HIV co-receptor CCR5. Clinical trial results so far indicate that it does not affect the normal function of the cell.
Results from Phase 1/1b and Phase 2a human clinical trials have shown that PRO 140 can considerably lessen viral burden in people infected with HIV. A Phase 2b clinical trial demonstrated that PRO 140 can prevent viral escape in patients during several weeks of interruption from conventional drug therapy. CytoDyn’s goal is to continue to develop PRO 140 as a therapeutic anti-viral agent in persons infected with HIV. In addition, PRO 140 has been designated a "fast track" product candidate by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
CytoDyn’s completed Phase 2b treatment substitution trial demonstrated that 98 percent of all patients treated with PRO 140 successfully passed four weeks of monotherapy without virologic failure. The Company said that its research data has expanded the potential clinical indications for PRO 140 to include certain inflammatory diseases, autoimmunity, transplantation, as well as cancer.
Recently, CytoDyn announced that the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) to PRO 140 for the prevention of graft versus host disease (GvHD). Orphan Drug Designation is granted to development-stage drugs that have shown promise in addressing serious medical needs for patients living with rare conditions.
The designation provides CytoDyn with various incentives and benefits. This includes seven years of U.S. market exclusivity for PRO 140 in GvHD, subject to FDA approval for use in this indication.
CytoDyn also announced that in a meeting, which took place October 12, 2017, the FDA confirmed the number and type of evaluable patients required for submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for PRO 140 as a combination therapy. The FDA accepted the 40 patients presently enrolled in the Company’s Phase 2b/3 pivotal combination trial as evaluable.
Also, the FDA further agreed that the trial’s Data Monitoring Committee can conduct an interim efficacy analysis of primary endpoint. Furthermore, the FDA confirmed that 50 patients will be required for the completion of this trial. It agreed to allow more flexibility in the enrolment criteria for the remaining 10 patients. Therefore, CytoDyn expects to complete enrolment soon.

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Hunter Oil Corp. (HOILF).
Hunter Oil (TSX.V: HOC) (OTCQX: HOILF) is engaged in acquisition, development, operation, and exploitation of crude oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin in eastern New Mexico. To view the full article, visit: http://nnw.fm/pO5OX.
Hunter Oil Corp. (TSX-V: HOC) (OTCQX: HOILF) (“Hunter Oil” or the “Company”) is an oil and gas exploration, development and production company. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Vancouver, British Columbia, and its operational headquarters are in Houston, Texas. Along with its subsidiaries, Hunter Oil is engaged in acquisition, development, operation, and exploitation of crude oil and natural gas properties in the Permian Basin in eastern New Mexico. The Company owns and operates two large, proven oil fields – the Chaveroo and Milnesand San Andres fields – with a total acreage position of over 23,000 acres that are essentially contiguous. Hunter Oil’s operations involve re-accessing the existing reservoirs and developing the resource by utilizing contemporary completion techniques and proven unconventional recovery technologies.
First developed in the 1950s and 1960s using vertical well production technology, the Chaveroo and Milnesand fields produced 40 million barrels or only a fraction of the original oil in place, leaving behind significant recoverable reserves. Hunter Oil plans to unlock the value in these resource-rich fields by leveraging existing infrastructure, lowering operating costs and increasing efficiencies of its operations. By exploiting the pre-existing infrastructure at these proven, legacy assets, Hunter Oil is poised to capitalize on a significantly reduced exploration and finding cost threshold that enables profitability. Net present value of its reserves in these fields, discounted at 10 percent, is estimated at US$829.7 million as disclosed in the company’s year-end 2017 reserve report(1).
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ridgeway Arizona Oil Corp., recently received drilling permits for five wells in its Chaveroo oil field. Hunter Oil intends to develop the Chaveroo reserves by drilling up to 84 horizontal wells. These permits represent the first group of wells to be drilled in the planned program and mark a significant milestone. During the past three years, the Company has readied the two oil fields for their next phase of exploitation via infill horizontal redevelopment.
The planned wells will target the San Andres formation at approximately 4,500’ TVD (true vertical depth) and will be one-mile-long horizontal wells. The Chaveroo oil field has reserves targeted for exploitation of 22 MMBOE (million barrels of oil equivalent) consisting of Proved Undeveloped reserves of 8.4 MMBOE, Probable reserves of 3.4 MMBOE, and Possible reserves of 10.2 MMBOE, as disclosed in the Company’s year-end 2017 reserve report(1).
Hunter Oil’s management team has decades of experience in oil production, both internationally and domestically, allowing for a greater understanding of operating assets on both state and federally regulated lands. Al H. Denson, P.E., recently appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Hunter Oil Corp., is an active member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers with more than 40 years of exploration and production experience. He began his career in 1976 with Amoco Corporation (now BP), where he served in various engineering, operational and management roles, both in the U.S. and internationally. Mr. Denson, who served as a director and member of the Company’s Operating Committee from 2014 to 2017, earned both a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering from Mississippi State University and is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Louisiana.
As a believer in corporate responsibility, Hunter Oil is committed to safe and responsible exploration and development practices that reflect a thoughtful awareness of the impact its operations have on the environment and community. Hunter Oil’s mission is to bring environmental, social and economic value to all of its stakeholders.

Zenergy Brands, Inc. (OTC: ZNGY)
The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Zenergy Brands, Inc. (ZNGY).
The global press toward finding technology-based advances that are more environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and “smart” is reflected in a variety of industries. Zenergy Brands, Inc. (OTC: ZNGY) is lending its resources and experience to those efforts in the utilities use sector.
Zenergy Brands, Inc. (OTC: ZNGY) is the nation’s leading next-generation energy and technology company operating in the emerging smart energy, conservation, and utility industries. Headquartered in Texas, Zenergy provides an entire suite of conservation-based products and services that enable clients to achieve sustainability goals, reduce carbon emissions and improve their bottom line. The company’s cutting-edge Zero Cost Program™ reduces utility expenses by 20 percent to 60 percent by offering energy conservation, smart controls, and efficiency-based products and services to residential, commercial, industrial and municipal end-use customers.
The Zero Cost Program™ is a financing mechanism that allows customers to reduce water, natural gas and electricity expenses by implementing proven conservation technologies at no out-of-pocket cost. The Zero Cost Program™ enriches businesses by immediately reducing energy consumption through the use of smart controls, building automation, LED lighting solutions, refrigeration optimization, efficient water systems, EC motor controls, demand-side management and load factor correction.
A unique Managed Energy Services Agreement (“MESA”) allows a portion of these utility savings to be retained by Zenergy’s partner financing the upgraded, retrofit equipment and installation costs until a specified repayment period ends. After that, clients reap all the financial rewards of the technologies implemented, which Zenergy estimates should range between 25 percent and 45 percent of total utility costs.
Residential customers seeking cost-effective energy savings can also choose from a suite of “Smart Home” products including home automation, security monitoring, and energy conservation services that can be controlled 24/7 from the comfort and convenience of their smartphones or internet-connected smart devices. Zenergy’s residential program offers partnership opportunities for homebuilders and residential, multi-family real estate developers to provide smart home technologies to high-end customers.
Zenergy Brands’ acquisition of Enertrade Electric LLC, a fully operating, licensed Texas-based Retail Electric Provider (REP), further increases the company’s value proposition. Zenergy CEO Alex Rodriguez said this new subsidiary adds an essential complementary service to the company’s suite of smart energy products and services.
“Since our founding, our vision has been to converge smart controls (home and building automation) with energy conservation and retail energy to deliver the comprehensive smart energy service to customers,” Rodriguez said.
On a global scale, residential and commercial buildings account for nearly 45 percent of the world’s total energy consumption. Improving the energy efficiency of these homes and buildings is often a more affordable way to reduce harmful gas emissions while minimizing the need for new energy production. According to Navigant Research, global revenue for energy-efficient commercial building retrofits alone is expected to grow from $71.4 billion in 2016 to $100.8 billion in 2025. At the same time, the energy-efficient devices market is expected to reach a market size of $908 billion by 2022. Increasing demands for reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions along with concerns over climate change are contributing factors driving the market’s overall growth.
Zenergy Brands, Inc. (ZNGY), closed the day's trading session at $0.001485, up 5.32%, on 17,120,631 volume with 37 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 8,731,777 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.0014/$0.032.

Lithium Chile Inc. (TSX.V: LITH) (OTCQB: LTMCF)
The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Lithium Chile Inc. (LTMCF).
Lithium Chile (TSX.V: LITH) (OTCQB: LTMCF) holds the largest privately-owned lithium claims in Chile, with properties ranging over 152,900 hectares. To view the full article, visit: http://nnw.fm/01nA4.
Lithium Chile Inc. (TSX.V: LITH) (OTCQB: LTMCF), headquartered in Canada, is advancing one of the largest lithium-rich exploration portfolios in Chile consisting of more than 148,000 hectares covering sections of 13 salars or mineral salt flats and one laguna complex. The company’s wholly owned premier properties include 66 square kilometers on the Salar de Atacama, Chile’s largest mineral salt flat which hosts the world’s highest concentration of lithium brine production and is currently the source of about 35 percent of the world’s lithium production. Lithium Chile also owns a significant copper/gold/silver property portfolio consisting of 28,184 hectares over six different properties.
Lithium Chile’s portfolio in the heart of Chile’s lithium-rich salars includes Salar de Coipasa, Salar de Helados, Salar de Atacama, Salar de Turi Salar de Ollague and Salar de Talar. Surface and near surface salt and brine sampling programs on all properties has been completed. To date, samples of high-grade, near-surface lithium brines at each of these projects are showing excellent chemistry of lithium to potassium and lithium to magnesium ratios. Good chemistry is important as it reduces your overall cost of production. Recent geophysical surveys including T.E.M have been completed on 5 of 6 priority targets and data collected to date has been extremely encouraging.
Lithium Chile has identified multiple high-priority brine target areas at its Atacama and Ollague lithium project areas. These areas display the same geophysical characteristics as the lithium-rich aquifers at Salar de Atacama, home to the world’s largest and highest-grade lithium brine producers. Spanning an area of 1,200 square miles, Salar de Atacama is the world’s third largest salt flat behind Salinas Grandes in Argentina and El Salar de Uyuni in neighboring Bolivia. Exploration drilling and resource definition drilling for these target areas are planned for 2018.
“We are delighted with the discovery of such impressive drill target areas at Atacama and Ollague. The results also follow the recent discovery of a 60km2 target area at another of our top Chilean projects – Helados – where we hope to drill in the second quarter of 2018,” stated President and CEO Steve Cochrane. “We have an aggressive multi-project drill program planned for this year, which includes all three of these exciting projects and we look forward to sharing drill results as they come through.”
Global demand for lithium-ion batteries is expected to surpass US$53 billion by 2024 as governments around the world aggressively seek to ban gas-powered vehicles and major automakers invest billions in new technology and electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries. Chile’s mining-friendly jurisdiction offers Lithium Chile a clear, streamlined permitting process that significantly lowers the cost of lithium production to around $1,800/ton as compared to Australia’s $5,000/ton.
Lithium Chile is led by an experienced team with strong Chilean connections. Cochrane’s 36 years of investment industry experience have primarily been focused on the mining sector. During this time, he raised more than US$500 million for a variety of small cap public companies in various businesses and industry sectors including mining.
Terry Walker, P.Geol., vice president of exploration and chief geologist, is a highly experienced geologist. He has spent over 25 years in Chile’s mining industry and is well connected throughout the sector. Walker is co-founder of GeoServicios Piedra Dorada, an exploration and development services company focused on Latin America. He is a Qualified Person for the North American and Australian stock exchanges.
Lithium Chile is well funded and driven by a top-tier team with more than 100 years of combined experience in financing, mining exploration and development in the natural resources sector.

Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: PVOTF)
The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (PVOTF).
Pivot Pharmaceuticals’ (CSE: PVOT) (OTCQB: PVOTF) (FRA: NPAT) patented Ready To Infuse Cannabis (“RTIC”) powder is drawing the attention of respected cannabis brands in California, resulting in potential manufacturing and supply agreements for the company. To view the full article, visit: http://cnw.fm/jNS4s.
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: PVOTF), based in Vancouver, Canada, is an emerging biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals that provide novel treatments for unmet healthcare needs. Pivot’s recent acquisition of BiPhasix ™ Transdermal Drug Delivery technology for the delivery of cannabinoids (CBD) to patients provides the answer for an age-old problem associated with cannabinoid-based therapies: the lack of a robust smoke-less delivery mechanism.
Research into the bioavailability of cannabinoid-based therapeutics shows that rates of absorption vary greatly between smoking cannabis to an orally-consumed product, with a difference noted even between individuals. Cannabinoids are degraded in the stomach and smoking may not appeal to patients for health or lifestyle reasons. Topical delivery, while a better alternative, has suffered from weak formulation issues. Transdermal cannabinoid delivery, on the other hand, could provide a better alternative route since it reduces side effects and bypasses other absorption issues. In addition, transdermal delivery provides the benefit of enabling patients to access a steady stream of medication over a prolonged period with fewer side effects.
Pivot Pharmaceutical’s newly created subsidiary, Pivot Green Stream Health Solutions Inc. (“Pivot Green Stream”), will focus on improving the bioavailability of cannabinoid-based and pharmaceuticals. BiPhasix™ has been tested in FDA and EMA approved human clinical trials, which have shown the delivery system enhances the bioavailability of many drugs and improves clinical outcomes. Pivot Green Stream is tasked with developing several natural health products containing cannabinoids (CBD) that can receive a Health Canada Natural Health Product (NHP) designation. This marketing method ensures a shorter development cycle and faster revenue generation opportunities.
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc., which has positioned itself as a growing and crucial vertical in the cannabis industry, represents a compelling opportunity in the biotechnology field. The company’s plans include working with Licensed Producers (LP) and Licensed Dealers (LD) to bring newer therapies to patients. The company has also applied to list on the Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE).
The global medical marijuana market is expected to reach a value of $55.8 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing number of states and countries gaining approval for using cannabis in therapeutic applications is expected to continue driving the market forward.
Pivot Pharmaceuticals has assembled a highly experienced management team, bringing together a wealth of clinical, commercial, product development and financial experience. Among the many healthcare targets in Pivot’s pipeline are cancer supportive care, pain and inflammation, women’s sexual dysfunction, dermatology and eye disease.
Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (PVOTF), closed the day's trading session at $0.40, up 4.52%, on 6,767 volume with 15 trades. The average volume for the last 60 days is 135,249 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.047/$2.46.

TGOD, which holds licenses in Ontario and Quebec, is strategically located in both provinces that together claim 22 million Canadians as residents. Another estimated 57 million people live next door in six U.S. bordering states.
The Canadian cannabis market currently has a massive supply demand gap, which makes TGOD’s expansion plans even more important to investors. These plans include a combined build-out capacity of 970,000 square feet, allowing TGOD to produce 116,000 kg annually of organic cannabis. Upon completion, Phase One in Hamilton, Ontario, which is fully funded, will provide 150,000 square feet of growing capacity capable of producing up to 14,000 kg of cannabis or $112 million in revenue at $8 a gram.
The company’s Quebec expansion will be constructed on a recently secured 75-acre property near Montreal. This new property has a planned expansion of 820,000 square feet capable of producing 102,000 kg of organic cannabis. The first phase of this expansion is underway and construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2018. Quebec’s first phase will consist of 220,000 square feet capable of producing 22,000 kg of cannabis. Two additional expansion phases will add 250,000 square feet (26,000 kg of cannabis) and 350,000 square feet (54,000 kg of cannabis). Power costs remain exceptionally low for both facilities with access to all other needed utilities available and close by.
TGOD also plans to gain a share of the burgeoning cannabis oils market which by Q1 2017 accounted for 49 percent of all cannabis sold in Canada under the ACMPR, up from only 27% in Q2 2016. TGOD has ordered a purpose-built extraction laboratory with an estimated commission in Q4 of 2017. This is a commercial-scale CO2 extraction unit capable of processing up to 12,000 kg of raw material per year and producing approximately $170 million worth of organic cannabis oils. Raw cannabis oil provides a significant downstream manufacturing opportunity into several potential recreational market verticals including edibles, beverages, topicals and concentrates.
Data from the Canadian ACMPR Market Trends report indicates a rising number of consumers will continue to seek out healthier, less conspicuous ways to consume cannabis, ensuring sales of organic cannabis oil products remain brisk. Organic cannabis products demand a significant premium compared to non-organic products and the demand keeps growing.
Plans to take the company public are underway with an initial public offering (IPO) slated for January 2018. In November, the company raised $13 million in equity financing and in March closed a $27 million non-brokered private placement. Another $20 million is currently being raised before the IPO in January, which will be utilized for expansion plans.
TGOD is uniquely positioned between the medical and recreational cannabis industry since Canada is scheduled to legalize cannabis for all adults in mid-2018. As of August 2017, TGOD has 2,400 shareholders. Established in 2012, TGOD’s motto, “Making Life Better,” can be seen in its strategic partnerships, top quality management team, and dedication to organic farming and principles.

Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSX.V: MFM) (OTCQB: MFMLF)
The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Marifil Mines Ltd. (MFMLF).
Mineral exploration company Marifil Mines (TSX.V: MFM) (OTCQB: MFMLF) is engaged in the exploration, evaluation and acquisition of mineral rich resource properties in Argentina. To view the full article, visit: http://nnw.fm/Uwv9c.
Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSX.V: MFM) (OTCQB: MFMLF), headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, is engaged in the exploration, evaluation and acquisition of mineral rich resource properties in Argentina. A rising global demand for cobalt and lithium is generating interest in Marifil Mines and its resources located within South America’s famed “Lithium Triangle,” which include 15,267 hectares spanning its recently acquired Ratones and Fraile claims, as well as two lithium properties covering the southern portions of the Carachi Pampa salar in the Argentine province of Catamarca.
The company’s property also includes the Las Aguilas nickel-copper-cobalt deposit property, with more than four contiguous claims in the San Luis province of Argentina. The Las Aguilas property, which is 100% owned by Marifil, is noted as one of the largest cobalt properties in Argentina. Other noteworthy properties in the company’s portfolio include the Toruel copper-silver property, with more than two contiguous claims, and additional potash properties in Punta Colorada, Pedernal and El Carmen.
Marifil’s sizable portfolio of cobalt and lithium claims in what is recognized as the world’s most prolific mining jurisdiction for these resources strategically positions the company to benefit as global initiatives push demand for lithium-ion batteries toward a frenzy. Zion Market Research, a leading research and consulting firm, has forecast that the lithium-ion battery market could hit $67 billion by 2022, realizing a CAGR of more than 13.7% from 2017-2022. Both lithium and cobalt are major components of these energy storage solutions, with industry data indicating that the battery industry currently consumes roughly 42 percent of global cobalt production.
The company is reviving a lithium exploration program that was active in Argentina a decade ago, building on an unexplored mine it owns there. Marifil will utilize a large proprietary geologic and geochemical data base it developed during its 2009 lithium exploration program in the Salta and Catamarca province sites to resume lithium exploration in the region.
Applications for a second mine and negotiations to purchase a third property are underway, which would establish a significant property portfolio of ‘salar’ brine evaporation lakes. Hydrothermal solutions emanating from regional faults in area volcanoes often enrich the brine with lithium, boron, potassium and magnesium.
In addition to nearly 152,000 acres of lithium-staked properties, Marifil owns 887 acres of land for cobalt exploration and 91,565 acres of gold mining rights in an advanced exploration stage in San Roque that company engineers indicate has high gold discovery potential with “excellent infrastructure and mining friendly politics.”
To date, more than $7.5 million has been invested assessing Marifil’s flagship San Roque gold property, including nearly 16,000 meters of diamond core drilling. The property is jointly owned by Marifil and Novagold Resources, with Marifil holding a 51% stake and serving as the current project operator. The company recently commenced a drilling campaign to further evaluate several deposits of significant gold-silver-indium-lead-zinc mineralization on a 4-kilometer-long zone.
Marifil has closed a private placement funding for $2 million that will inject additional life into the company. Proceeds from the funding will benefit acquisition plans, the ongoing drilling program at Marifil’s gold claim and other output from its general working capital accounts.
Robert Abenante, a chartered professional account, serves as president and chief executive officer of the company. He has extensive experience in the public markets and has served as an officer and director of several public and private companies across various industries, with particular success in the mining sector.
Marifil Mines Ltd. (MFMLF), closed the day's trading session at $0.1204, even for the day. The average volume for the last 60 days is 1,934 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.01/$0.165.

The technology provides highly accurate real-time alerts about the vehicle’s surroundings while in motion. The systems are designed to improve driving safety by enabling highly accurate and reliable threat detection while ensuring the lowest rates of false alerts.
The company’s patents provide IP protection for its robust and proven proprietary stereoscopic technology, which was developed using the security technology of Foresight’s major shareholder, Magna B.S.P.
Foresight has developed three main products:
- QuadSight™. This breakthrough detection system sets the bar for autonomous vehicle vision. It features nearly 100 percent obstacle detection with almost zero false alerts and operates optimally under all weather and lighting conditions, including darkness, rain, fog, haze and glare.

Eye-Net™ is designed to provide a complementary layer of protection to advanced driver assistance systems and extends this protection to road users who are not in direct line of sight. It is optimally designed for both urban environments and high-speed scenarios to provide protection for the most vulnerable road users. On March 28, 2018, Foresight announced that it had completed a successful feasibility study of its Eye-Net™ accident prevention solution involving 120 users of Android and iOS cell phones located across Israel.
In 2017, Foresight sought more opportunities within the international market. The Company signed pilot agreements with three leading car manufacturers in China and completed pilot projects meeting all pre-defined requirements and criteria. In addition, FRSX completed a pilot project with Uniti Sweden.
Studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety continue to emphasize the dramatic reduction in accidents and injury-related crashes reported when vehicles are equipped with collision avoidance systems. A recent study by the Institute states that the rate of single-vehicle, sideswipe and head-on crashes was 11 percent lower in vehicles with the warning systems. More importantly, the study shows collision avoidance technology cut the rates of injury crashes of the same type by 21 percent.
Foresight Autonomous Holdings, Inc. also holds a 32 percent interest in RailVision, a company that develops advanced systems for railway safety and maintenance. RailVision has successfully completed 13 tests in Israel, Germany, Italy and Switzerland in addition to a real-time system test with a European railway operator.
