Canada Nickel Company Inc. (CNIKF)

TradersPro and InvestorPlace reported earlier on Canada Nickel Company Inc. (CNIKF), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

Canada Nickel (TSX.V: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) has inked a deal to acquire a 100% interest in the Texmont property, which is located between the company’s Deloro and Sothman properties, south of Timmins, Ontario. The planned acquisition will provide potential for near-term, open-pit production from near-surface, high-grade mineralization at Texmont, as well as high-grade regional potential, which has already been demonstrated at Texmont, Sothman and Bannockburn. In addition, the company released an update with logging information from the first four holes in its ongoing drill program at Texmont. While noting that true widths are unknown at this point, the report indicated that the first three holes intersected mineralization immediately after overburden, confirming its continuation to surface. Higher sulphide mineralization was intersected as expected over intervals of 16–25 meters in all three holes within overall mineralized intervals of whole core lengths, and was found in outcrop. “The acquisition of the Texmont property provides near-term, smaller-scale production potential and is highly complementary to our large-scale Crawford and regional nickel sulphide projects,” said Canada Nickel Company chair and CEO Mark Selby in the press release. “We are excited by the potential for leveraging the understanding of the geology at Texmont and additional high-grade areas at Sothman and Bannockburn and applying these learnings to our large regional property package.  In our discussions with nickel consumers for the battery market, many of them are keen to have new nickel production that could come to market by 2025. Similarly, a number of investors have expressed interest in financing near-term production.”

(MARA), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

Bitcoin prices increased by more than 5% on Dec. 13, 2022, after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was up by 0.1%. November’s CPI reading was 7.1%, implying that inflation will remain moderate despite soaring interest rates from the Federal Reserve System.

The CPI announcement sparked excitement in the crypto market, but the excitement faded later in the day as investors realized that inflation is still three times above the Fed’s 2% target. Crypto traders have been closely monitoring the monthly inflation report for clues on whether the Fed’s tightening of monetary policy this year will help slow the rate of consumer price increases.

The majority of altcoins rose after the CPI data was released as investors regained their appetite for risk and reentered the market.The day’s top gainers included MXC, Siacoin and Toncoin, which reported 12.25%, 19.6% and 12.04% increases respectively. Consequently, the S&P 500 closed 0.73% higher, while the NASDAQ and Dow were up 1.01% and 0.03% respectively.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market value, rose immediately after the report was released, by 1.6% from $16,979 to around $18,200 before stabilizing at $17,760. Its value has been declining since the collapse of FTX, once one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges. According to Jim Wyckoff, Kitco’s senior market analyst, the spike pushed BTC to a month’s cumulative high and signals that its price will rise further in the near future.

Arcane Research analysts predicted that the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting would probably cause a major market reaction. The analysts had previously warned that crypto markets would likely experience volatility due to the expected significant economic events this week. They also noted that Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s hints about projected interest rate peaks for next year will almost certainly contribute to a more volatile economic environment.

Additionally, the expected spike in interest rates by the Bank of England and the European Central Bank this week may influence Bitcoin prices as it directly affects dollar strength.

In a tweet, founder of Eight Global Michaël van de Poppe speculated on what Bitcoin’s price might look like if the Fed Reserve’s actions match investor expectations. He stated that support levels will be between $17,100 and $17,200, while resistance levels are expected between $17.8K and $18.2K. However, a number of veteran crypto traders warn that further declines are possible.

As cryptos climb, they are likely to have a favorable effect on other industry players such as Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA) as they execute their growth and expansion plans.

Marathon Digital Holdings Inc. (MARA), closed Monday's trading session at $3.87, off by 0.257732%, on 11,155,190 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 424,102 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $3.69/$40.78.

The past couple of months have been hard on precious metals such as gold, which usually fared well when the economy falters. Traditionally in high demand during times of economic upheaval because its value generally does not diminish, gold has seen its performance drop amid increasing inflation and a surging dollar.

However, projections for the last few months of the year and 2023 have been hopeful, stating that gold will perform much better than it has in 2022. Last week, gold and silver saw prices in the United States surge after officials released a lukewarm Consumer Price Index (CPI) data report. Gold prices reached a four-month high, with February gold going up by $29.50 to $1,821.

The recently released inflation report revealed that conditions were tamer than expected, showing a CPI rise of 0.1% from October and an overall 7.1% year-on-year increase. This was slightly lower than the predicted 0.3% increase from October and a 7.3% year-on-year increase.  As a result, the financial, stock and metal markets saw a significant but short rally, which quickly lost steam while the U.S. dollar index went down.

The recent lukewarm CPI report was a win for U.S. monetary policy doves who would like the Federal Reserve to loosen its increasingly aggressive monetary policy. The Fed has raised the benchmark interest rate for several consecutive months as part of its ongoing efforts to tame inflation, but this has increased fears of economic recession.

With the year drawing to a close, the Fed is expected to increase interest rates by 0.5%, pushing benchmark borrowing rates to 4.25-4.5%. This move will likely be followed by the Bank of England and European Central Bank, which meet shortly after the Fed meets.

According to Religare Broking VP of technical research Ajit Mishra, markets will be looking at the U.S. Fed for cues on whether it will slow its interest rate hike. Furthermore, Mishra noted that markets will also be keeping an eye on U.S. CPI data, stating that the trajectory of inflation and interest rates by the Fed could have a major role in the upward trend of gold prices.

Gold stocks have seen their prices rally amid the cooler-than-expected report, and commodity market experts predict that this upward trend in prices will likely continue into the next year.

Experts also predict that despite facing some consolidation over the next few sessions, they expect gold to bounce back. This revival will possibly further bolster the books of extraction companies such as Royal Gold Inc. (NASDAQ: RGLD).

Royal Gold Inc. (RGLD), closed Monday's trading session at $106.53, off by 0.805438%, on 424,102 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 18.825M and the stock's 52-week low/high is $84.54/$147.70.

Rivian Automotive Inc. (RIVN)

Kiplinger Today, InvestorPlace, The Street, QualityStocks, Schaeffer's, MarketClub Analysis, MarketBeat, The Online Investor, Investopedia, Daily Trade Alert, StocksEarning, Trades Of The Day, Early Bird, Zacks, INO Market Report, Louis Navellier and AllPennyStocks reported earlier on Rivian Automotive Inc. (RIVN), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

The demand for electric vehicles has been on the rise this year. According to Edmunds data, EV sales increased by almost 82% year on year, and currently account for 5% of the whole market. However, plenty of potential customers are skeptical of this novel technology. In light of this, the following are answers addressing the top questions on the minds of EV shoppers before making a purchase.

The number of miles one can drive on a full charge

The type of EV model, the size of the battery, the outside heating rate and the driver’s habits while driving will definitely impact this number. The approximate range for modern electric vehicles could be 250 miles, while earlier versions will have a shorter range of 100 to 200 miles due to the earlier technology that wasn’t advanced and also because of deterioration of their batteries. Note that you will travel further if you speed up gradually. Overspeeding and erratic driving will reduce one’s range.

How long the battery will last?

The number of times the battery is subjected to harsh conditions, the frequency of high and low charge states of operation, the number of charge cycles, and the number of trips to a DC fast charger are just a few of the variables that will affect how long your battery will last.

The performance of an EV battery will deteriorate over time. Your EV battery would be functioning at about 77% after a 10-year period according to vehicle data company Geotab. To help allay some of this worry, the federal government has required that all electric vehicle batteries have a lifespan of at least eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever happens first. The coverage has increased to 10 years in California, along with 14 other states that have enacted zero-emissions vehicle rules.

Does the EV does qualify for tax credit?

Qualifying for an EV tax credit has been modified since the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act. Starting next year, price restriction, revised taxable income of the person purchasing the vehicle and EV battery components will all be incorporated into the specifications when doing the final assembly. The maximum price for qualified SUVs as well as vans and pickups will be limited to $80,000, while sedans and other automobiles will be limited to $55,000. The EV battery components will require that at least 50% of the battery components used in electric vehicles be purchased and manufactured in the United States or imported from a country that supports free trade agreements. This percentage will rise in the coming years.

The duration it takes to charge

The battery capacity, the built-in chargers and the outlet voltage that permits plugging all play a role in how long it takes to charge an EV. Since 110-volt outlets slow down charging, level 2 chargers are primarily used by those who charge at night on 240-volt outlets. However, a level 3 quick charger is needed while driving long journeys because the charging stations placed along the road are powerful and will cut the charging time in half.

Availability of EVs

Your nearby car dealer has a large selection of electric vehicles to choose from, but in the event of a shortage, as has recently been reported, one may need to wait until the vehicles are available or anticipate paying more from overly enthusiastic dealers. Some businesses, such as Tesla and Lucid, engage in direct sales to customers on their websites. The vehicles are assembled once a customer creates an order. The delivery date, which can range from only a few weeks to more than a year, is determined by the make and design of the vehicle.

As people become more informed about electric vehicles and the technologies powering them, the market is likely to explode for manufacturers such as Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: RIVN).

Rivian Automotive Inc. (RIVN), closed Monday's trading session at $22.03, off by 2.0018%, on 18,825,174 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 77,958 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $19.25/$107.49.

Field Trip Health Ltd. (FTHWF)

We reported earlier on Field Trip Health Ltd. (FTHWF), and today we highlight the Company, here at the QualityStocks Daily Newsletter.

Researchers have spent a significant amount of time trying to figure out the mechanisms that cause depression in an effort to develop preventative and treatment strategies for the mental condition. Over decades of intense research, three theories have emerged as the most plausible.

The monoamine theory posits that the depletion of key hormones such as serotonin, norepinephrine and/or dopamine was instrumental in the development of antidepressants. This theory stated that a chemical imbalance in the brain and nervous system was to blame for the development of depression.

More specifically, it said that a deficiency in monoamine transmitters was the primary cause of depression after animal experiments and clinical observations showed that a high blood pressure medication called reserpine that depleted neurotransmitters caused depression-like symptoms.

As such, researchers figured that they could alleviate depressive symptoms by taking medications designed to boost neurotransmitter levels; these substances were called antidepressants.

The theory has been criticized for decades because antidepressants often take weeks to cause a noticeable change in symptoms. In addition, only 40% to 60%  of patients reporting a reduction in symptoms within six to eight weeks of beginning antidepressant therapy.

The prozac boom was characterized by the development of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in the 1980s and 1990s to tackle the growing anxiety and depression problem.

After zimelidine, the first SSRI in the world, proved to cause significant side effects, Prozac was adopted as the main antidepressant in several countries and gained immense popularity. It became the most-prescribed pharmaceutical drug in the United States only three years after its introduction and was the second most-prescribed drug globally four years after it was introduced.

The success of Prozac ensured that SSRIs would be the first line of defense against depression for the coming decades because it had proved that the monoamine theory had a basis.

However, current antidepressants, which are all monoaminergic, cause side effects such as anxiety, nausea, irritability, headaches, appetite changes, weight fluctuation, insomnia, diabetes and more.

With pharmaceutical companies operating under this theory, even as research has shown that antidepressant therapies aren’t completely safe and effective, the development of more efficient therapies has stalled.

The inflammation theory is another promising theory about the possible cause of depression. This theory states that increased levels of cytokines, which are signaling molecules tasked with activating inflammatory responses, result in elevated levels of anxiety and depression.

Inflammation may be a natural immune response against harmful stimuli, but it can harm the body if it occurs at elevated levels.  Data has shown that antidepressants tend to be less effective in patients who have inflammation. In fact, antidepressants that stimulate serotonin production may actually encourage an inflammatory response by stimulating serotonin bound to serotonin receptors.

Regardless of which theory is the most correct, what patients see are alternative treatments that are effective and don’t come with a laundry list of side effects. Entities such as Field Trip Health Ltd. (OTC: FTHWFF) (TSX: FTHWF) are conducting drug-development programs to tap psychedelics to address this need.

Field Trip Health Ltd. (FTHWF), closed Monday's trading session at $0.07, off by 10.2564%, on 81,958 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 367,696 and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.0177/$0.50.

Renewable energy facilities developer Vision Energy Corporation isdedicated to developing green and low-carbon fuel resources, withcurrent focus on construction of multiple hydrogenproduction-via-electrolysis facilities in Europe

The company announced a cooperative agreement last month withglobal industrial gases and engineering company Linde Engineeringto initiate design of a planned green energy terminal site in theNetherlands

Vision Energy announced this month that the agreement is expandingto accelerate the development of the site for the storage ofammonia/LPG and other green and renewable products

A final investment decision (“FID”) is expected by Q3 of next yearon the project, which would be Northwestern Europe’s first import,storage, and handling terminal designed exclusively for hydrogencarriers, renewable energy products, and low-carbon fuels

Green and low-carbon fuel asset developer Vision Energy (OTCQB: VENG) announced recently that it has signed a memorandum ofunderstanding (“MOU”) with Linde Engineering, a leading globalindustrial gases and engineering company, to expand theircollaboration on services associated with designing and operatingclean energy infrastructure in Northwestern Europe.

Vision Energy Corp. (OTCQB: VENG) (“Vision Energy”) is a forward-looking energy company developing carbon reduced solutions for the commercial, industrial and transportation sectors. Vision Energy is leveraging its team’s proven track-record in site and asset procurement, accelerating development and permitting processes, plant design, and grid integration to facilitate low-carbon energy production, supply and distribution. The company is pursuing reliable offtake relationships and operating partnerships with energy industry participants and end users seeking carbon abatements across feedstock and fuels. Vision Energy is committed to providing low carbon energy solutions with maximized yield, with projects designed to exploit existing gas and power infrastructure, to integrate and facilitate import and/or distribution of reduced-carbon energy to domestic and global supply chains.

The company believes that hydrogen and liquid carriers of hydrogen are the most reliable alternatives to fossil fuels. Hydrogen is anticipated by many energy analysts to become more widely competitive as an alternative mobile energy source as early as 2030, as economies of scale drive down costs.

According to the International Energy Agency report ‘Hydrogen in North-Western Europe (2021)’, the region is well placed to lead hydrogen adoption as a clean energy source. Today, this region comprises approximately 5% of global hydrogen demand and 60% of European demand. Moreover, the region is home to the largest industrial ports in Europe, where much of this hydrogen demand is located, and presents a well-developed natural gas infrastructure connecting these ports with other industrial hubs. This gas network could be partially repurposed to facilitate hydrogen delivery from production sites to demand centers. Governments in this region also have ambitious goals for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and there is strong political interest in hydrogen as a pathway to maintaining industrial activity in the region.

Vision Energy is based in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Projects

Through wholly owned subsidiary Evolution Terminals BV, Vision Energy is pioneering a Green Energy Hub development project for the import, storage and distribution of low-carbon renewable fuels and hydrogen carriers, strategically located in the North Sea port of Vlissingen at the mouth of the Westerschelde estuary in the Netherlands. This Green Energy Hub is positioned to be the first terminal in Europe focused on green and low-carbon energy products.

Vision Energy is at an advanced stage of planning for the construction of its Green Energy Hub and is on schedule to file for the remaining construction and environmental permits by December 2022. The Green Energy Hub design is capable of receiving seagoing vessels, barges and coasters, served by a dedicated deep-water jetty as well as rail and truck loading infrastructure that will enable direct access to purpose-built storage and handling facilities for low-carbon fuels and hydrogen carriers, including ammonia, methanol and liquid organics. Phase 1 capital expense is estimated at approximately €450 million, including jetty infrastructure, and will provide for up to 400,000 cubic meters (CBM) of storage capacity with land already secured for future expansion.

Market Opportunity

In Northwestern Europe, the market for green hydrogen, or hydrogen produced by renewable energy, is growing rapidly. The current hydrogen demand projections outstrip the scheduled production for the next five to 10 years.

The company believes that all producers will face high demand. Moving beyond its initial Green Energy Hub, Vision Energy is focused on countries where governments support a regulatory standard that promotes hydrogen production and consumption. Many governments have established various incentives and financial mechanisms to accelerate and promote the use of hydrogen as a renewable energy source.

The EU, through its European Green Deal, has set an objective to become climate-neutral by 2050, implying the near total phase-out of fossil fuels in the EU energy system, and many countries are working to put in place subsidy programs for the development of green hydrogen facilities in anticipation of this goal.

Vision Energy projects its total addressable market at €10 billion by 2050.

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP).

New research has found that cooling brain tumors improves rates ofsurvival, which offers hope for new options for treatment for patients suffering from difficult brain cancers. The mostcommon type of brain cancer, glioblastoma multiforme, is afast-growing and aggressive cancer that usually occurs in an individual’s spinal cord or brain. While this particular type of cancer can develop at any age, it ismore common in older adults. Surgery is usually the standard treatment for glioblastoma multiforme, followed by radiation andchemotherapy, as recommended by a patient’s oncologist. Despitethese treatments, the rate of survival for this particular canceris still poor, which highlights the need for alternative treatment options thatmay provide patients a better chance for long-term survival. A teamof researchers, led by Duke University’s Dr. Syed Faaiz Enam, have devised a new way to treat glioblastoma multiforme using cooler temperatures. The researchersused a device to locally cool tumor cells to 20to 25oC, which led to a discovery that this could be used to impede cellgrowth in rats with glioblastoma multiforme. As more discoveriesand drug-development programs are instituted by various companiessuch as CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP), patients suffering from brain cancers can look forward to newtreatments in the not-so-distant future.

CNS Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: CNSP) is a clinical stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of novel treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain and central nervous system.

The company was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

Organ Targeted Therapeutics

The company’s lead drug candidate, Berubicin, is proposed for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”), an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. Berubicin also has potential to treat other central nervous system malignancies. Based on limited clinical data, Berubicin appears to be the first anthracycline to cross the blood brain barrier in the adult brain, and it was the subject of a successful Phase 1 study which found the MDT and produced efficacy data as well.

CNS holds a worldwide exclusive license to the Berubicin chemical compound. The company has acquired all requisite data and know-how from Reata Pharmaceuticals Inc. related to a completed Phase I clinical trial of Berubicin in malignant brain tumors. In this trial, 44% of patients experienced a statistically significant improvement in clinical benefit. In 2017, CNS entered into a collaboration and asset purchase agreement with Reata.

CNS intends to explore the potential of Berubicin to treat other diseases, including pancreatic and ovarian cancers and lymphoma. The company is also examining plans to develop combination therapies that include Berubicin.

CNS estimates that more than $25 million in private capital and grants were invested in Berubicin prior to the company’s $9.8 million IPO in November 2019.

CNS intends to submit an IND for Berubicin during the fourth quarter of 2020 and expects to commence a Phase II clinical trial of Berubicin for the treatment of GBM in the U.S. in Q1 2021. A sub-licensee partner was awarded a $6 million EU/Polish National Center for Research and Development grant to undertake a Phase II trial of Berubicin in adults and a first-ever Phase I trial in pediatric GBM patients in Poland in 2021.

The company’s second drug candidate, WP1244, is a novel DNA binding agent licensed from the MD Anderson Cancer Center. In preclinical studies, WP1244 proved to be 500-times more potent than the chemotherapeutic agent, daunorubicin, in inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. The company has entered into a sponsored research agreement with the MD Anderson Cancer Center to further the development of WP1244.

CNS Pharmaceuticals recently engaged U.S.-based Pharmaceutics International Inc. and Italian BSP Pharmaceuticals SpA for the production of the Berubicin drug product. The company has implemented a dual-track manufacturing strategy to mitigate COVID-19-related risks, diversify its supply chain and provide for localized availability of Berubicin. CNS has already completed synthesis of Berubicin’s active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and has shipped the API to both manufacturers in order to prepare an injectable form of Berubicin for clinical use.

Global Brain Tumor Therapeutics Market

The high recurrence rate of malignant brain tumors is due to reappearance of focal masses, indicating that a sub-population of tumor cells in these cancers may be insensitive to current therapies and may be responsible for reinitiating tumor growth. This necessitates the development of newer drugs in the market that demonstrate greater efficacy in treating such aggressive cancers.

A global increase in neurological disorders has placed increased attention on cancers of the brain over the past decade. Neurological disorders are becoming one of the most prevalent types of disorders, due to longer life expectancy, greater exposure to infection and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. Because few treatments for primary and metastatic cancers of the brain exist, costs are high and have acted as a restraint for the brain tumor therapeutics market.

Despite progress in surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapeutic strategies, effective treatments for brain cancer are limited by a lack of specific therapies for the brain and the difficulty in transporting therapeutic compounds across the blood brain barrier. Therefore, there is a significant need for novel and effective therapeutic drugs and strategies that prolong survival and improve quality of life for brain tumor patients.

Several companies are making significant investments into R&D, which is expected to bring more treatment options to the market in the near future. Industry reports consistently project continued growth in the market.

One report estimates that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach a valuation of $2.74 billion in 2023, with the market expected to register a CAGR of 11% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2023. Another report projects that the global brain tumor therapeutics market will reach $3.4 billion by 2025, up from $2.25 billion in 2019 (http://nnw.fm/eDUjp).

SideChannel Inc. (OTCQB: SDCH) CEO Brian Haugli authored an article for the Cyber Defensemagazine. The piece, titled “Micro-Segmentation: Where Does It Fitinto Zero Trust?”, discusses a zero trust, a recent buzzword thatis a concept not a technology, Haugli explained. He also notes thatzero trust is not micro-segmentation, and he cautions companies notto be misled by vendors that tout that an implementation of amicro-segmentation solution equates to having a zero trustenvironment. Zero trust, says Haugli, “is a strategic initiative tocreate least privilege across all aspects of an organization. Itrequires the three elements of the triad in any program: people,process and technology. You generally need an inventory of theusers in the environment, the applications in place and thesupporting infrastructure. Without that inventory, a move towardszero rrust will be impossible.” He also goes on to observe that thebasic requirement of micro-segmentation is expressly allow trafficfrom a source to a destination and deny all other traffic. “It’sone thing to build a program based on standards, but we must factorin the threats that are present that the program is built to reduceor stop,” wrote SideChannel CEO Brian Haugli in the article. “Cyberisn’t just addressing the defensive needs or accounting for theoffensive threats. Ransomware is prevalent in our society today andan all-too-common news story both locally and nationally. When welook at why it’s so destructive, it’s not the encryption of onesystem that causes the pain, it is that the impact is across somany systems. This is allowed to happen from flat networks or lackof segmentation between work groups. A properly implementedmicro-segmentation technology coupled with a strong managed policywould significantly reduce or even stop ransomware’s lateralmovement across an environment. . . . The first question to answeris whether you have a cyber program built to a standard, such asNIST CSF. Then it’s onto how your organization meeting is each ofthe applicable controls. As you define your remediations andmitigations, a micro-segmentation solution should make its way intoyour plan to address identified gaps in controls.

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

Unlikelegalization, which made it possible to grow, process and sellcannabis without legal repercussions, cannabis decriminalization issimply intended to remove criminal charges from cannabis possession and use, but does not facilitate themarijuana trade. With states such as Colorado and California bringing in billions of dollars worth of cannabis sales taxes, countries across the Atlantic havebegun taking notice. In a recent move that could trigger a dominoeffect of cannabis legalization across the European Union, GermanHealth Minister Karl Lauterbach announced that Germany is considering legalizing cannabis production and use, and unveiled a plan forlegalization. Germany’s marijuana policy would be similar to Canada’s, stripping marijuana of its status as a narcotic; building astate-licensed system for cultivation, production, delivery andsale; launching a federal cannabis tax; and allowing adults topurchase 20 to 30 grams of cannabis for personal use. While Germanyis still going through the process of ending cannabis prohibition,various jurisdictions in North America are finding avenues to availfunding to cannabis companies through entities such as REZYFi Inc. so that the industry players receive the funds they need to scaleand grow their operations despite federal law, which keepstraditional banks from accepting marijuana companies as clients.

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.

EVGIF announced 80% completion of GrowTEC expansion, finalizingconstruction of injection infrastructure to connect system to localRNG pipeline network

GrowTEC RNG production expected end of 2022, planned capacity ofapproximately 140,000 GJ/year

Released Q3-2022 financial results, highlights included YOY revenueincrease to C$2.0 million, cash and cash equivalents of C$12.8million

Key milestones achieved included signed term sheet for long-termRNG offtake agreement, signed term sheet for C$31 million seniorterm loan, commencement of Fraser Valley Biogas RNG ExpansionProject

EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), a renewable energy company that is developing Canada’s renewablenatural gas (“RNG”) infrastructure platform, recently announcedthat its GrowTEC expansion is 80% complete with production plannedby the end of 2022 (https://ibn.fm/pX5t3).

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.

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. Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a “qualified person” (as defined in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to be a current mineral resource. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.

The company also owns 100% of the Sugarloaf Peak Property in La Paz County, which is located on 4,400 acres of BLM claims. Sugarloaf is a heap-leach, open-pit target and has a historic estimate of “100 million tons containing 1.5 million ounces (of) gold” at a grade of 0.5 grams per ton. The historic estimate at the Sugarloaf Peak Property was reported by Westworld Resources in 1983. 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, and no resource categories were used. Significant data compilation, re-drilling and data verification may be required by a qualified person before the historic estimate can be verified and upgraded to a current mineral resource. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify it as a current mineral resource, and Arizona Metals is not treating the historic estimate as a current mineral resource.

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.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD)

The QualityStocks Daily Newsletter would like to spotlight Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD).

 

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD) is a product and brand marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. The company is focused on collaborating with real people in real-time to identify the emerging desires and behaviors poised to unlock new opportunities and pathways for growth. Sugarmade seeks to redefine the marketplace by nurturing an innovative and compelling relationship between brand, botany and business – resulting in both undeniable consumer value and an intriguing cross-pollination of revenue sources.

The company’s core strategic plan is centered on expanding its end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace while developing its in-house cannabis production capacity to verticalize operations in the space. Through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Sugarmade intends to develop a full farm-to-door vertically integrated cannabis business.

Brand Portfolio

Sugarmade has investments in a number of subsidiaries with active operations in the California cannabis sector. These include:

  • NUG Avenue – Sugarmade owns a 70% stake in NUG Avenue, a cannabis delivery service based in Southern California providing hand-selected top-shelf products from Stiiizy, Kanha, PlugPlay and more.
  • BudCars – Sugarmade is an investor in cannabis delivery service of BudCars’ first operating location in Sacramento, California. BudCars is an online-shopping experience designed to provide new customers with an easy way to discover and order cannabis products within minutes.

Acquisition of Lemon Glow Company

On May 17, 2021, Sugarmade took a major step toward closing the loop on what its management team believes to be one of the most promising vertically integrated cannabis models in the thriving California market when it announced the signing of a definitive agreement for its acquisition of Lemon Glow Company Inc.

The Lemon Glow acquisition includes 640 acres of property, 32 of which have already been designated for outdoor cannabis cultivation. Per the company’s news release, the annual potential cultivation yield at the property is estimated to be approximately 4,000 pounds of dry trimmed cannabis flower per acre per year, which represents approximately 128,000 pounds, or 64 tons, of dry trimmed cannabis flower per year in total.

Notably, Sugarmade also benefits from the acquisition in terms of team capital, as Lemon Glow executive team members will stay on and become the core management team at the cannabis cultivation site, granting the operation over 30 years of cannabis cultivation experience.

“The Lemon Glow team are tremendous additions to the Sugarmade team,” Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade, commented in announcing the definitive agreement. “They have vast experience and established skills, as well as intricate knowledge of the property and its local grow context. That’s an enormous added value proposition in this deal. We look forward to bringing them on board, ramping up operations at the property, and taking key steps toward delivering on the promise of Sugarmade’s farm-to-door vision.”

Market Opportunity

The California cannabis industry has continued to record tremendous growth since voters approved a measure to legalize recreational use of the plant in 2016. According to data from MJBizDaily, California’s legal market hit $4.4 billion in sales in 2020, up from $2.8 billion in 2019 and $1.4 billion in 2018.

Those figures highlight California’s status as the largest legal cannabis market in the world. With roughly 28 million residents over the age of 21, California is more than twice the combined size of the four states (Arizona, New Jersey, Montana and North Dakota) that legalized cannabis in 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a key driver in the growth of cannabis delivery services throughout the state in 2020. One California cannabis delivery firm reported a 60% increase in new delivery customer sign-ups in the 30 days following the March 13, 2020, declaration of a national emergency. As a result of this boom, tech companies in cannabis ecommerce were able to dramatically increase their market share.
Sugarmade’s continued efforts to develop a farm-to-door vertically integrated cannabis business position it to capitalize on these trends as the California cannabis industry continues to expand moving forward.

Management

Jimmy Chan is the CEO of Sugarmade. He is an experienced business executive instrumental in growing multiple business operations with a strong expertise in international trade and banking, international manufacturing and importation. He is also the founder of CarryOutSupplies.com, a company that revolutionized the custom-printed paper supplies subsector of the quick service restaurant industry, which merged with Sugarmade in 2014.

Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC: SGMD), closed Monday's trading session at $0.0002, even for the day, on 37,674,899 volume. The average volume for the last 3 months is 37.675M and the stock's 52-week low/high is $0.0002/$0.0012.
