How To Profit From The Death Of Las Vegas

London – January 14, 2019 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: Earlier this year, a little-known U.S. Supreme Court decision ripped open the door to a potential multi-billion dollar market. Only, it’s not what you think.

According to Forbes, illegal betting on NFL and college football will hit $93 billion in 2018. Global Market Advisors estimate illicit sports betting is a $150 billion industry.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has written that some even estimate it at $400 billion per year.

For decades this was a massive black market. But after a landmark ruling in the nation’s highest court, the whole industry is now poised for rapid legalization.

A rush for the U.S. market is kicking off. And Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF) is positioned to seize a chunk of the online gambling spoils.

On May 14th the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of New Jersey in a 6-3 decision - striking down the federal law that banned sports betting in most states.

The decision - Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association - grants the 50 state legislatures the power to license and regulate sports betting.

Now - if California or New York or any other state want to legalize wagering on the NFL or major league baseball - they can do it without any interference from Uncle Sam.

On news of the decision, shares of several gaming companies moved higher including Caesars Entertainment, up 6 percent and Penn National Gaming, up 4 percent.

And, while many investors are focusing on Blue Chip casino names - an opportunity may be in stocks like Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF).

To dominate this new industry, you need three things:

#1 - A veteran operating team with experience in the industry.

Bragg has all three - and they could soon join the likes of Las Vegas Sands (LVS), Wynn Resorts (WYNN) and Caesar’s Entertainment (CZR) in the online gaming industry.

But it’s no game for amateurs. It’s highly regulated. There are major issues with cyber security. Marketing channels are often limited. Barriers to entry are high.

CEO Dominic Mansour has nearly 20 years’ experience in the gaming and lottery industry. He operated Full Tilt poker - the 2nd largest poker site in the world.

He was also CEO at the UK based Health Lottery, and built bingos.com from scratch, before selling it to NetPlay TV Plc. where he became CEO and a board member.

CFO Akshay Kumar was previously CFO at NetPlay. Prior to this he was Financial Controller at Sporting Index, the sports spread betting specialist.

Matevz Mazij is the Managing Director of Oryx - a key Bragg Gaming division.

He founded the company in 2010, after spending 8 years as one of the IT minds behind multiple online and land-based gaming companies around the world.

They intend to compete across the online gambling industry’s full spectrum of B2B and B2C verticals - first in Europe and ultimately in the United States.

The first pillar of the Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF) opportunity is Oryx Gaming - a turnkey B2B gaming solution provider they acquired in 2018.

It offers European gaming operators access to a diverse portfolio of proprietary and 3rd
party Sportsbook, Lottery and Casino products.

Oryx publishes over 5,000 game titles. They provide the technology, the gaming platform, risk management, operations and back office services.

They are certified, approved and licensed in Malta, Schleswig Holstein, Spain, Romania, Colombia, Croatia, Serbia, Gibraltar, UK and Slovenia.

Their clients range from JackpotJoy Plc to GVC Holdings - one of the world's largest sports betting and gaming groups at a $5.49 billion market cap.

For the six months through June, 2018 - Oryx generated $9.49 million in revenue, with $1.98 in EBITDA. That represents 414% growth over the same period in 2017.

This gives Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF) the resources and operational capability to launch their own B2C gaming brands in both Europe and the United States.

Every online business needs customers. If you’re selling cereal, or microwaves or car insurance - you have an arsenal of advertising options at your disposal.

Since 2003 when U.S. regulators began cracking down on gambling advertisements, most ad platforms highly restrict, or even prohibit them outright.

This isn’t just an American regulatory issue. In 2007, the U.K. banned over 1,000 gambling sites from advertising online, in print, on the radio or on television.

That’s why Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF) which was then known as Breaking Data, in 2017 acquired GiveMeSport - a next generation sports media asset.

With 26 million followers, they are the largest sports publisher on Facebook. ESPN is in second place with just 18 million followers - or over 44% less.

Right now, the only monetization plan for GMS is paid advertising. Their ad revenue growth is sitting at 83% year over year. But that’s merely the short-term plan for the site.

The company plans to leverage the free traffic from GiveMeSport to grow other gaming assets, initially in the UK, and then in the United States as the market matures.

According to Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF) CEO Dominic Mansour “the acquisition of Oryx is the first step on the road to the creation of a new global gaming group.”

“We plan to follow this with other acquisitions in the gaming sector as we position Bragg Gaming Group as a next generation gaming company.”

This new website will start with sports betting before expanding into the other areas including casino games, e-sports, poker and lottery products.

Oryx will provide the technology platform and software to run the service. Bragg Gaming has an agreement with Argyll, which holds a UK betting license to operate the site.

They’ll leverage the massive audience from their GiveMeSport website to drive adoption and growth. This isn’t an untried model - it’s been done before.

Sky Bet was built by leveraging the Sky Sports media assets. In 2018, CVC and Sky agreed to sell Sky Betting & Gaming to The Stars Group for £3.4 billion.

And, don’t forget - the GiveMeSport brand has more than double the Facebook audience of Sky Sports. The growth potential for Bragg is significant.

As legalization unfolds in the United States, the company intends to grow and acquire assets across the full spectrum of gaming verticals in multiple jurisdictions.

The May 14th U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn PASPA, in favor of New Jersey, was a watershed moment for online sports gambling in the United States.

Seven states — Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New York, Mississippi and West Virginia — have laws prepared to make sports betting legal.

Thirteen other states have planned or proposed similar legislation. And, sports betting isn’t the only gaming vertical affected by this monumental decision.

The New York State legislature is working on a bill to legalize online poker. California - the most populous state in the union - is also exploring poker legalization.

This is a massive potential opportunity for Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF)

They boast an incredibly experienced team of industry veterans. With Oryx, they have both the infrastructure and revenue to pursue an ambitious roadmap.

Thanks to GiveMeSport’s over 30 million unique visitors – they have a media springboard to launch B2C platforms like GiveMeBet in Europe and the U.S.

If you aren’t following Bragg Gaming Group (TSX.V:BRAG.V; OTC:BKDCF) yet - you need to start.

Wayland Group (CSE:WAYL.CN) (OTCQB:MRRCF)

How A NASA Scientist Could Trigger The Next Cannabis Boom

London – December 18, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: Marijuana spent this year finding its feet. It may spend next year surfing a big wave of profits.

Marijuana 1.0 was all about the legalization drive, the dumping of billions of dollars of cash into the industry and mouthwatering, legitimizing mergers and consolidations—but it was a jockeying exercise in capacity expansion.

Marijuana 2.0 could be just as big a deal—it’s about the technological tweaks that will actually make this industry profitable.

It involves Big Data, AI, automation and a host of other tech tweaks that will increase profitability and open up vast new markets in key verticals. That includes everything from recreational use and OTC pain and sleep relief to pharmaceuticals and beauty/nutraceuticals.

Only the most efficient and competitive cannabis players will thrive under the coming Big Data and AI revolution.

And one little-known company has already developed an efficient, high-quality, low-cost automated mass production operation.

The little-known company is the Wayland Group (WAYL.CN, OTC:MRRCF), and it’s positioning itself to be the “Vertical Integrator of Cannabis”.

Just like major oil companies such as ExxonMobil or Royal Dutch Shell used their superior Big Data capabilities to streamline their supply chain and muscle their way to the top of the oil distribution chain, this company is positioning itself to become the “Vertical Integrator of Cannabis” by leveraging the first large-scale integration and automation drive in the medical cannabis industry

Their operations require just 10 percent of the staff of a traditional operation

And for now, it remains “little-known” because just as early investors failed to understand that Amazon was a technology company first and a retail operation second … the same thing could unfold in the cannabis sector.

The easy money in the weed industry has already been made. The real money comes in the next wave of profits from companies that are able to navigate the technological and efficiency cul-de-sacs that plague the industry…

Wayland is a “tech first” $250-million market-cap company armed with a war chest of patented technologies that can reshape the marijuana industry in 2019.

Being a relatively new industry, the cannabis space suffers from a severe shortage of credible, evidence-based data and a major void of automation tools. As a result, most companies have been relying on gut-feeling to run their operations - leading to high operational inefficiencies and high costs.

Wayland Group (WAYL.CN, OTC:MRRCF) is a medical cannabis company that’s positioning itself as the industry’s ultra-efficient manufacturer of CBD and CBD products by automating its upstream and downstream operations.

The company has partnered with Rockwell Automation (NYSE:ROK) to develop a connected and scalable platform that seamlessly connects its cultivation facilities for a consistent and high-yield crop.

Wayland employs Rockwell’s new exclusive agriculture platform from AI Data Grow with its hardware, Automation FactoryTalk software and Ethernet/IP network connectivity to streamline communication between traditional silos such as process control functions, material handling and building automation. This connected and scalable system provides a single, integrated platform for predictive AI, environmental monitoring, process automation and building management.

Through this innovative platform, the company is able to monitor and control all the variables required for the growing of medicinal cannabis, including capturing the ideal nutrient mix, humidity, temperature and light cycles to produce a consistently high-quality and high-yield crop regardless of changing weather conditions. The unified platform is highly scalable and expandable, thus allowing the company to seamlessly replicate a bolt-on solution and facilitate rapid growth. This improves asset utilization, shortens time-to-market and lowers costs.

The system is the industry’s first large-scale integration in the medical cannabis industry and transfers Rockwell’s immense expertise in life sciences to the medical cannabis industry. Additionally, Wayland is integrating Oracle’s ERP with Rockwell and AI Data Grow’s platform to have full visibility and control from the factory floor to the executive suite.

Wayland’s automation drive has earned it various industry accolades including the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) rating, becoming one of only 5 EU GMP-certified producers that can sell directly to the EU market.

That’s remarkable for a $250-million company, with the others being the industry’s big fish: Tilray, Canopy, Cronos and Aurora.

The big craze about the company’s automation platform is this: It makes cannabis production energy efficient and introduces lower labor costs. That removes two ominous bogeymen for the sector.

Utilizing FactoryTalk energy metrics, Wayland is able to optimize its carbon footprint by controlling fans, lights and other environmental specifications such as temperature, lighting, humidity, fertigation and carbon dioxide to achieve a 90 percent-plus energy efficiency rating (EER).

Some of its key milestones include onsite natural gas cogeneration facilities and state-of-the-art water filters that recycle water leading to losses of just 10,000 liters per year.

Automation enables the company to replace ergonomically challenging and labor-intensive jobs with advanced operators with higher skills sets. This creates a lower headcount with higher pay grade and thus addresses a major hurdle in agriculture agronomics. The company has fully automated its Canadian operations, and now needs only 26 employees as opposed to 500 before the exercise. At 14 dollars an hour minimum wage in Ontario, those savings quickly add up.

Wayland (WAYL.CN, OTC:MRRCF) is now able to leverage its innovative automation machine using another clever trick—by only targeting growing regions and markets that will likely provide high returns and profits.

Regions like Argentina and Columbia where production costs are low … and markets like Switzerland, Germany and the EU where cannabis products fetch attractive prices.

That’s because only niche markets will deliver the kind of crazy margin goals that this company has set for itself…

Wayland is now selling CBD at CAD$16 per gram in Europe compared to prices as low as $5.65 in Canada.

With production costs in in Argentina and Columbia as low as 5 cents per gram for CBD, there is a massive profit opportunity if South American CBD were to be sold in Canada.

Even the Canadian region has become highly profitable for the company thanks to its full-on automation.

With cheap production in Canada due to its low labor costs and automation the company is still able to realize a very impressive gross profit in a market where pretty much everybody else is counting losses

Wayland (WAYL.CN, OTC:MRRCF) has brought the best of the pharmaceutical world to the marijuana industry by integrating Vesisorb technology across its product portfolio--thus enhancing rapid absorption and predictable dosing.

Vesisorb is a patented product applied to fat-soluble formulations leading to as much as 622 percent increase in bioavailability.

CBD molecules are oily in nature and tend to clump together upon ingestion. This interferes with absorption and can lead to unpredictable effects. Vesisorb resolves that by improving dispersion of CBD molecules and ensure uniform absorption.

Wayland has the patented-protected global rights (ex-U.S.) for use of Vesisorb with cannabis.

Wayland has also developed a range of CBD brands to cater to buyers of different ages, genders, needs and occasions. Each brand projects a unique feel and image making it easy and intuitive for customers to make their pick in a potentially confusing industry.

Marijuana consumers no longer fit the old stereotype of bored people simply trying to escape their crushing suburban ennui. Wayland has created a range of high-quality products for the sophisticated consumer, with brands like Solari--designed to provide the best holistic and health benefits that CBD can offer, while Kiwi is perfectly balanced to appeal to new or light users.

Wayland’s (WAYL.CN, OTC:MRRCF) advisory board is a Who’s Who of Big Pharma and Silicon-Valley-style tech gurus—and its management team is headed by a similarly powerful line-up of pharma-tech figures from the CEO and chairman to the CFO and president.

The board pulls from the best and brightest at NASA Jet Propulsion Labs (JPL) and Lockheed Martin, among others.

Wayland President Terry Fretz is a veteran pharmaceutical exec with two privately held generic pharma companies under his belt that were the fastest-growing in Canada and acquired by publicly traded multinationals.

CFO Scott Langille has over 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry in both Canada and the United States, holding executive positions at publicly traded pharma companies including Tribute Pharmaceuticals, and Virexx Medical Corp.

The advisory board includes everyone from Hilti Tools empire heir apparent Rudolph Hilti, Prof. Dr. Markus Backmund MD, PhD—the chair of the German Society of Addiction Medicine, and Dr. Horst Schiessl, on the supervisory board of Baader Bank AG, to Dr. Hans Dendl, former chairman of AOK Health and researcher at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Research.

To fully capitalize on its growing moat, Wayland (WAYL.CN, OTC:MRRCF) plans to rapidly ramp up production in its key markets.

From a projected 2,400 kilos of CBD in the current year, it’s eyeing a run-rate of 95,000 kilos per annum by Q4 2019 in Canada alone.

The company expects similar sharp ramps elsewhere— boosting dry cannabis for CBD extraction in both Switzerland and Germany.

But the best part of the story: the company says it’s already made massive infrastructural investments to yield free cash flow for the coming years.

Marijuana 2.0 is a tech game above all, and this little-known company has been quietly developing the tech this industry needs to turn hype into profit and to make good on the industry’s desperation to expand capacity to meet demand. That’s exactly what will define 2019 for pot, and the high times will be on the back of the right tech, rolling the right margins.

Read OilPrice.com's Extensive Coverage of
United Battery Metals Corp (CSE:UBM, OTC:UBMCF)

London – October 18, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: It’s the most critical economic resource you’ve never heard of.

Without this unknown commodity, you can’t build as strong a bridge, factory or skyscraper. It’s used extensively in planes, trains and supertankers.

The scary part? None of it is produced in the United States. China, Russia and South Africa control almost all of the global production, and we’re locked in the middle of a trade war.

Now United Battery Metals Corp (CSE:UBM, OTC:UBMCF) is one of the few companies providing some hope.

As we speak, this tiny Colorado mineral explorer is sitting on an estimated resource of 2.7 million pounds of proven Element “V” reserves - estimated in an independent geologist’s 43-101 technical report. And, that’s not all.

The company has nearly 800 acres of property consisting of 39 claims, and one of the top exploration geologists in the western United States is on board.

Battery tech is poised to transform the electricity industry. In the U.S. alone, energy storage will grow 6x, from 120 megawatts to over 720 megawatts by 2020.

Globally, it will bring power for the first time to over a billion people by letting them tap into micro-grids. And, while lithium is the key battery metal of today…

As we speak, United Battery Metals Corp (CSE:UBM, OTC:UBMCF) is potentially sitting on one of the only reserves of this critical metal anywhere in the United States.

Former US President Barack Obama has touted it as the key to generating 80% of the nation's electricity from renewable sources by the year 2035.

Thanks to the VRF (vanadium redox flow) battery - it’s set to take the energy world by storm.

These game changing batteries are non-flammable and non-explosive. Unlike short lived lithium ion batteries, their battery life is almost infinitely long.

Vanadium batteries already provide complete energy storage systems for $500 per kilowatt hour, a figure that is expected to fall below $300 per kilowatt hour in less than 2 years.

Companies like CellCube are already building out the infrastructure with 130 installed VRF battery facilities. Soon they’ll be in electric car charging stations around the world.

Robert Friedland - the legendary mining magnate – believes that “there is a revolution coming in vanadium” thanks to this technology.

He’s building a 3-megawatt (MW), 12-megawatt-hour (MWh) vanadium flow battery in China as part of Phase 1 of a 10-MW, 40-MWh demonstration project.

The rise of the Element “V” powered, global energy grid is poised to skyrocket demand for this little-known metal - which is a huge boon for stocks like UBMCF.

You see - vanadium is critical to the production of steel. It helps make steel lighter, tougher and more efficient – making it one of the strongest alloy metals on Earth.

Twenty years ago, literally no vanadium went into cars, versus around 45 percent of cars today. By 2025, it’s estimated that 85 percent of all automobiles will include it.

For United Battery Metals Corp (CSE:UBM, OTC:UBMCF) it’s the opportunity they’ve worked for.

On September 4th, 2018 - U.S. weekly steel production capacity utilization climbed to the highest level since 2014. The same day, China reported new output highs.

The United States Steel Corp. is opening new plants and modernizing others. They just invested $750 million into their facility in Gary, Indiana.

New regulations on low quality steel in China is forcing producers to embrace vanadium alloys like never before. Meanwhile, supply is horribly constrained.

The price per pound is up nearly 300% over the last three years. The world’s economic superpowers are locked in a life or death struggle over limited supply.

With a massive property and proven resources in safe, mining friendly Colorado – United Battery Metals stands to help give America a boost to catch up with the competition.

On December 20th, 2017 - President Trump issued an executive order to ensure and protect reliable supplies of minerals recognized as critical to “national security.”

Vanadium is used for America’s buildings, roads, bridges and future green energy infrastructure. Without it, we are way behind.

Which is a big problem because…

The big three producers are Russia, China and South Africa. Over 70% of global production is controlled by America’s enemies in Moscow and Beijing.

As Trump’s trade war escalates - it’s increasingly likely China will retaliate by restricting or even banning the export of strategic minerals.

They’re sitting on one of the only potentially viable vanadium plays in the continental U.S.

U.S. policymakers will use the critical minerals list to identify which resource projects should be given fast track approval, and assistance with government grants.

For United Battery Metals - it has the potential to reduce red tape.

Environmental and Bureau of Land Management permitting that normally takes years could be slashed to the bone - radically improving the project’s economics.

For the company, that would be an incredible boon. Especially when you consider that they’re already sitting on a substantial, proven resource.

United Battery Metals Corp (CSE:UBM, OTC:UBMCF) has the Wray Mesa Project - an exploration stage uranium-vanadium property located in Montrose County, Colorado.

It consists of over 39 contiguous mining claims for a total size of about 800 acres. It could be the one of the first vanadium mines in the United States.

Drill exploration started in the late 1940’s with the U.S. Geological Survey, then continued from the 1960’s through the 1980’s with the private sector.

Over 739 historical drill holes have been punched across all 39 claims - at a cost that would exceed $30 million today. UBMCF inherited this exploration windfall.

The company now has an NI-43-101 on the property authored by Antony Adkins in 2013. According to that report, they’re sitting on an estimated 2.7 million pounds of vanadium and an indicated resource of 500,000 pound of uranium.

At $18.50 per pound vanadium and $26.20 per pound uranium - we’re talking about a potential $63,050,000 find. Right now they have a $16 million market cap.

With hundreds of acres left to explore - the company expects that number to rise. They’re already initiating a $300,000 Phase I drill campaign.

With hundreds of acres yet to explore, not to mention potential upside deeper underground - the “blue sky” on this project could be great.

Mineral exploration is a challenging proposition. Luckily, United Battery Metals Corp (CSE:UBM, OTC:UBMCF) has a secret weapon as an advisor.

Mr. Saderholm is a professional Geologist who previously worked as Newmont Mining’s Exploration Manager for the entire Western United states.

He has almost 3 decades of experience in the industry with leadership in exploration, project development, property management and mining.

His resume includes large projects at Bingham Canyon, Carlin, Midas, Gold Quarry, Twin Creeks, Lonetree, Mule Canyon, Black Pine, Genesis and Yanacocha.

Over his career, he’s been integral to geologic teams that added millions of ounces of gold to reserve bases in Nevada, Washington and Peru.

With UBMCF his mission is to help dramatically expand the resource at Wray Mesa and also to find additional properties in North America with Vanadium discovery potential.

And, with the huge plot of land right in the heart of America’s new vanadium belt - he’ll be working one of the key exploration plays in America.

Urbanization is unstoppable. Globally, 1.5 million people are added to the urban population every week. That’s a city the size of San Antonio every 7 days.

High quality steel production will spur massive demand for Element “V” - vanadium. And, when the energy grid expands beyond Lithium…

We expect a price spike in vanadium that could eclipse the 300% gain of the last 3 years.

Backed by the Trump administration’s new critical metals policy, Colorado based United Battery Metals Corp (CSE:UBM, OTC:UBMCF) is in a choice position.

They’ve got a $63 million resource, plus nearly 800 acres of exploration upside potential with the exact geologist you’d want to help find the mother lode.

Read OilPrice.com's Extensive Coverage of
Scythian Biosciences (CSE:SCYB, OTCMKTS:SCCYF)

And that’s also the date that the best kept story in the cannabis sector could be revealed.

A team that has already built two cannabis companies to a $340 million and $5 billion valuation.

But now, they are involved with something that could become much bigger... Scythian Biosciences (CSE:SCYB, OTCMKTS:SCCYF)

First, Scythian has just closed an incredible $280 million deal with Aphria, the third-largest cannabis company in the world.

Aphria saw the potential in Scythian’s “cannabis incubator” investment plans, and agreed to sell $193 million in stock to them... and today – as they close the deal – that same stock is worth nearly $300 million.

That’s a $137 million windfall for Scythian... a 65 percent ROI. And that’s only one deal of many.

Scythian Biosciences (CSE:SCYB, OTCMKTS:SCCYF) story could blow the lid off the cannabis market. It’s already one of the biggest investment trends of 2018.

Canada is instituting full legalization on October 17, and the Scythian story is unlikely to stay off the radar for long when that happens.

#1 The Crucial Time is Now Because Canada Legalizes Recreational Cannabis on October 17th

For decades, marijuana was off the grid: an estimated $53 billion American market[i] for an illegal substance without any kind of legitimate investment footprint.

Now, that’s changing. Canada is on the verge of instituting full recreational legalization.

It’s all over the news, and it’s caused a huge spike in investor interest in the cannabis sector... and it will probably only get bigger in the run up to October 17^th.

But what most people don’t know is that the marijuana sector isn’t getting its backing from Wall Street, which struggles to nail down the value of the legal cannabis market while illicit growers are still in the game.

Instead, funding is coming from publicly traded companies acting as incubators for promising cannabis ventures worldwide.

And Scythian Biosciences (CSE:SCYB, OTCMKTS:SCCYF) is the top incubator that anyone can invest in through their brokerage account.

So, Scythian stock gives investors access to a huge potential upside normally reserved for Venture Capital by offering the rare opportunity to buy into dozens of companies before they hit the big time.

But mainstream investors haven’t caught on, probably because other cannabis companies have been competing

so fiercely for the cannabis spotlight. And that’s opened up a big opportunity for investors to consider Scythian’s value in comparison to cannabis high flyers before October 17^th.

In a short span of time, the tiny legal cannabis sector is likely to explode from near zero just a couple of years ago to $8.7 billion in sales by 2024. Worldwide, the cannabis market could reach $32 billion by 2022 and $57 billion by 2027.

Scythian Biosciences (CSE:SCYB, OTCMKTS:SCCYF) is an international incubator of cannabis assets.

That makes it unique: most pot stocks, such as Aphria and Canopy Growth Inc., focus on cultivation, production and marketing in one country.

Calculating an upside in those kinds of companies is relatively straightforward, and in the case of Canopy most of the growth has already been realized.

With an incubator, the upside could be enormous. One estimate has the global cannabis market reaching $65 billion by 2023.

Any one of Scythian’s assets could explode on to the scene, especially at a time when cannabis laws are changing all over the world at rapid speeds.

Scythian looks to invest in dozens of assets at an early stage, but it only needs one asset to make it big to realize upside from the expected $57 billion or bigger global cannabis market.

Wall Street is waiting for federal laws to loosen... so they are leery of pot stocks, and Silicon Valley venture capital hasn’t picked up on it yet.

That leaves the field wide open for Scythian and other pot incubators to get access to the best deals first.

More importantly, it has allowed early-in investors to get in on the high-upside “early” investments normally reserved for Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

· Owns a highly diversified portfolio of cannabis assets, ranging from North and South American to Western Europe...

Scythian’s “first mover” approach is to identify ideal assets in undeveloped markets and incubate them for maximum profitability.

In Latin America... Scythian established relationships with “cultivation hubs”, in a market which has over 600 million people, all potential pot customers.

In North America, 90 percent of the pot market remains illegal… and yet the market still generates more than $9 billion a year according to ArcView Market Research. Legalization will let Scythian tap that market and get around behemoths like Canopy Growth Corp.

The global legal cannabis market could be worth $57 billion in just a few years, representing exponential growth.

And if Scythian captures just a tiny fraction of that potential, its valuation should really please its shareholders.

The executive team leading Scythian Biosciences (CSE:SCYB, OTCMKTS:SCCYF) has been at the forefront of the biggest success stories in cannabis.

They were involved in Aphria, a cannabis giant that exploded into a $5 billion company. They are also some of the leading business figures in the European cannabis industry.

And Scythian’s world-class team is poised to take advantage of a colossal new opportunity, one that could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

This deal between Aphria and Scythian Biosciences just closed, so the market is still catching up to the news.

Here’s what happened: Aphria chose to buy into Scythian, pumping it full of fresh capital for its incubation projects.

In July, Aphria announced plans to buy into Scythian, hoping to acquire a number of Scythian’s Latin America and Caribbean assets for $193 million payable mainly in Aphria stock.

Now, that Aphria stock position is worth more: $280 million on last count, an increase of 79 percent.

But this isn’t the only deal Scythian’s working on. They have dozens of deals in the “incubator” pipeline... that Scythian plans to invest in, incubate and bring to maturity and better valuations.

It’s taking on an interest in Florida-based medical cannabis firm 3 Boys Farms LLC, which will give it access to the Florida pot market when that state embraces legalization. The company has announced its new U.S. headquarters will be in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The acquisition is Scythian’s first big step into the North American market, part of its plan to shift its attention towards specific cannabis friendly zones in the United States.

The Aphria deal may be just the beginning. Scythian has its sights set on U.S. expansion, branching out from its start in South America to embrace North America.

The news is out there. It’s only a matter of time before this little firm -- with some of the team behind Red Bull -- starts to attract even more attention.

Expect the market to start paying attention after recreational marijuana is sold legally in Canada on October 17^th.

Read OilPrice.com's Extensive Coverage of
Cool Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AWSM)

London – September 18, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: Apple made history this year by becoming the first trillion-dollar company the U.S. has ever seen. But the only millionaire investors Apple is minting these days are those who boarded early.

While that ship has sailed, with share prices over $220, there’s some low-hanging fruit on the Apple tree that no one’s ever heard of …

One company might be about to provide investors with a backdoor into the world’s most tantalizing brand.

And they’re planning to roll out a new type of Apple store across the Americas.

In fact, it’s even closing in on Apple-owned stores themselves, which are the top retailers in terms of sales per square foot at $5,546 as of 2017.

For an investor looking to tie-in with Apple—the biggest and best brand in the world—this is how it’s done, and this is the time to do it.

Here are 5 reasons to keep a very close eye on Cool Holdings (NASDAQ:AWSM) right now:

Cool Holdings owns OneClick International and OneClick Argentina, and it is already one of Apple’s premier partners in the Americas.

Its Apple-product boutiques look like Apple, and smell like Apple, but they aren’t run or owned by Apple.

Cool Holdings’ goal with its One Click retail boutiques is to become the largest authorized reseller of Apple® products and services.

In Latin America, its staging ground is Argentina, with six brand new boutiques. Its staging ground in the U.S. is Florida, where three stores are already up and running:

On August 28, Cool Holdings opened their newest OneClick Apple Boutique Store in Orlando, Florida, and on August 20, it acquired an Apple Boutique Store retail chain in the Dominican Republic, adding 7 more shops to the portfolio.

Either you have the distribution without retail or retail without distribution – Cool Holdings has both.

There seems to be nowhere for these figures to go but up, if Apple sales are a good indicator.

Remember, Wall Street thinks Apple will make $165 billion just on the iPhone this year. Add accessories, and this is a retailer’s dream.

Just think: In 2017, Target’s revenue per square foot was only $290, according to Forbes. And the latest figures from 2015 put Walmart at revenue of $423 per square foot.

Cool Holdings’ (NASDAQ:AWSM) business model breaks the mold in a way that should please investors to no end. It’s unlike anything else.

Where other companies take bad sales executives and promote them to “marketing”, Cool Holdings has a very different philosophy.
They’ve created their own marketing agency and brought it into the company. That means the best of the best.

It also means they do marketing for free and generate profit from it. That’s a rare relief for investors who typically see companies spend $2 in marketing for every $1 they get.

Winning over Apple isn’t easy for retailers. The trillion-dollar company doesn’t entrust its brand to just any old company.

You have to look and feel like Apple because customers want the Apple experience, and the Apple brand won’t risk being sold by outsiders.

Cool Holdings is a premier Apple partner that is kicking it into full throttle with plans to roll out hundreds of new boutiques in less than two years.

Cool Holdings’ motto is “one world, one store, one click”—so no matter where you are in Latin America or the U.S., all of its stores will look and feel the same. In other words, they are just like Apple wants them to be, and with true Apple DNA.

Investors should take note of a company founded by a former Apple employee. And Cool Holdings (NASDAQ:AWSM) is just that.

After all, the best things have come from former Apple employees, according to Business Insider.

And the board has plenty of powerhouses behind it, too, including Canadian billionaire Aaron Serruya, who made his fortune along with his brother, Michael Serruya, in the 1980s with frozen yogurt and most recently sold the closely-held Kahala Brands food franchise, which includes Blimpie and Cold Stone Creamery, for some $320 million.

Chairman of the Board Andrew DeFrancesco has over 26 years of capital markets experience and has taken a string of companies to multi-million-dollar sales. As founder and chairman, he took Dalradian Resources through its IPO in 2010 and it was recently sold for $500 million. He also injected $6.2 million into Aphria Inc. (TSE:APH), which is now worth $4.73 billion.

They know what Apple wants, and they definitely know what Apple has to offer.
As of today, Cool Holdings has already successfully rolled out 17 stores that sell Apple products, and they are only just getting started.

This is a truly unique opportunity that comes at the perfect time as Apple breaks the trillion-dollar mark and prepares to launch new products.

And it’s not just about Apple, or even the iPhone. Cool Holdings (NASDAQ:AWSM) is free to pivot to other, hot, high-margin tech products that benefit from the Apple halo effect. Revenues for retail accessory sales from key manufacturers like Bose, Sonos, Belkin, Zagg-Mophie, Speck, JBL … are also at play.

This is a team with Apple DNA, making $3,750 per square foot in a fast-growing market. And it’s hoping to piggy-back on Apple’s growth.

New stores are quietly being rolled out... and revenue numbers may be reflected in their next quarterly call... In the not-too-distant future, this might be another big ship that’s already sailed.

London – July 25, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: As the global marijuana industry booms, one little company has just hit a huge payday.

Scythian Biosciences Corp. (TSXV: SCYB.V; OTC:SCCYF) is a tiny company with a big secret: a way to turn cannabis assets across the world into investments worth hundreds of millions.

The company is making a transition from biosciences to investment, and it’s just struck it rich.

But there are better ways to profit from the Green Revolution…ways that the hedge funds and venture capitalists haven’t discovered yet.

Scythian knows the secrets to making minor marijuana assets into a $193 million investment.

It’s the only truly global cannabis opportunity spotter, an incubator for marijuana ventures and research throughout the world.

Everyone’s been paying attention to the North American weed market…but they’ve been missin

g the big picture.

1.37 billion people in Europe and Latin America could soon gain access to legal marijuana. And most people have no idea.

They’ve got a presence in some of the key markets there, and now they’re targeting acquiring new investments in Brazil.

And what they’ve done is ingenuous: acquiring and incubating assets with cash from Aphria, only to sell them back for a huge payday.

Cannabis has been one of the biggest stories of 2018…but few have grasped the size of the opportunity.

A report from Arcview Market Research and BDS Analytics found cannabis sales accounted for $9.5 billion in consumer spending.

The total size of the global cannabis market is estimated to reach $32 billion by 2022 and $57 billion by 2027.

The bulk of pot sales are in the United States, which at the moment has a patchwork of state regulations dictating how marijuana can be sold and consumed legally.

But North American pot consumption is bound to rise rapidly, led by groundbreaking Canadian legalization this year.

Canadians spent $5.7 billion on cannabis products in 2017, but with recreational pot now about to be legal, that figure could explode as millions of new users start lighting up legally.

Across North America, marijuana is having its best year ever. Support for legalizing weed across the U.S. is at its highest level in years—polls find as much as 80 percent in favor.

And the limited space for medical marijuana is blossoming into a much broader market, one that includes recreational marijuana use and marijuana-based pharmaceutical products.

States are rushing towards legalization: super-conservative Oklahoma, for instance, just legalized medical marijuana, becoming the 30^th state to do so.

States like Oklahoma are desperate for tax revenue…the kind that a new green pot industry could bring generate.

States like Vermont, Michigan and California are lining up to expand pot and make a killing.

With such momentum, $57 billion by 2027 may be a conservative estimate. The greener North America gets, the bigger the opportunity in pot becomes.

Scythian Biosciences Corp. (TSXV: SCYB.V; OTC:SCCYF) is unique because it taps into this opportunity…something that firms focused on North America have overlooked.

The company got its start in biosciences, but now it’s made the transition to investing and incubating marijuana assets.

Scythian’s approach is to identify quality assets and build them up into something of value—an approach it clearly demonstrated with its recently announced asset sale to Aphria.

It’s the “first mover” approach—search out corners of the market for the assets no one else has found. Scythian sets up strategic “cultivation hubs” with local partners, and also works with medical institutions.

One such avenue for exposure is in Latin America, where Scythian has already laid down a foundation.

And the European market could be even bigger. The continent has twice as many people as the U.S. and could provide double the sales, once laws are relaxed.

Scythian has a plan in place to tap into the European market, laying a foundation in a number of key markets including Italy and the United Kingdom.

When European laws change, Scythian should be in prime position to seize a chunk of the market.

Scythian’s (TSXV: SCYB.V; OTC:SCCYF) plan is bigger than just production and distribution. The company invests in every part of the cannabis supply chain.

It is also setting out to incubate marijuana distributors across the world—building markets that both Aphria and Scythian can exploit with Canadian pot.

There are lots of different opportunities for Scythian to hit it big. A consumer marijuana product, a “Coca Cola” for pot smokers, could let it tap into the recreational market.

Beyond distribution, Scythian is incubating marijuana research ventures at the University of Miami, University College Dublin, Universidad de la Plata and the University of West Indies.

From these investments, Scythian could acquire lucrative new patents for marijuana products—from cannabis oils to new strains of pot to pill-based THC consumables.

Scythian could be granted profitable patents, then watch the money roll in from licensing.

The team at Scythian (TSXV: SCYB.V; OTC:SCCYF) is dedicated, professional—and led by a true visionary.

George Scorsis sits on the Board of Directors for Scythian. Over fifteen years, Scorsis has led a number of companies to rapid growth, all in highly regulated fields from alcohol to energy drinks (he was key in developing Red Bull, the super popular energy drink) to medical cannabis.

Formerly serving as President of Mettrum Health Corp, Scorsis built that company into a $340 million concern, just before selling it to the Canadian marijuana giant Canopy Growth Corp.

The management team behind Scythian is a huge, 75-person squad scattered across the globe in Scythian’s different regional offices: Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and North America.

These pros are identifying and incubating marijuana ventures in a dozen different time zones.

Scythian has access to all these opportunities and the company has harnessed the brain-power to tap into them.

Scythian (TSXV: SCYB.V; OTC:SCCYF) has been lurking in the shadows, but now it’s about to burst on to the scene.

And Aprhia is one of the biggest players in the marijuana space: a $2.952 billion company that dominates medical marijuana and is bound to profit from Canada’s legalization.

The cannabis market may have attracted some big money, but NOBODY has realized the potential of the global weed market…except for Scythian.

And with Aphria backing them, this little company is planning to make some big moves in Italy, Portugal and the UK. They’re basically incubating market outlets for Aphria’s product.

Rather than banking on fly-by-wire growers in North America, where markets might get saturated with pot, savvy companies should look abroad, where billions of customers remain underserved and where legalization legislation is probably not far off.

As many 1.37 billion people in Europe and Latin America may soon be free to shop for pot.

London – July 10, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: “Heavy Oil” is basically a dirty word in the energy world.

Technology company Petroteq Inc. is using a new proprietary Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) system that could completely revolutionize oil sands extraction. This technology just might be the key to unlocking the next wave of the energy boom leading to domestic energy independence.

Through a closed-loop system, Petroteq’s EOR can extract 99 percent of all hydrocarbons without releasing ANY greenhouse gases.

At their Asphalt Ridge property in Utah, Petroteq (TSX:PQE.V; OTC:PQEFF) is sitting on a contingent deposit of 86 million barrels…and their extraction facility is now fully operational.

The grand opening, according to CEO David Sealock, “was the culmination of two years of hard work by our entire team…as well as the harbinger of value creation to come.”

The company can produce oil for as little as $28 per barrel, they’re already set to produce 1,0

00 bpd by the end of this year and 5,000 bpd by the end of 2020.

The Big Picture-- Scattered throughout Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming are oil sands deposits equal to 1 trillion barrels. There are trillions more locked away in deposits around the world. And Petroteq’s proprietary oil tech can get to it. The company is filing patents around the world, and the licensing opportunities for its EOR closed-loop system are enormous.

Petroteq’s secret is its technology. The patented Liquid Extraction System is the first successful method ever tested that can extract the heavy oil sands of Utah in an environmentally safe and sustainable manner.

The method extracts 99 percent of all hydrocarbons, generating zero greenhouse gases and requiring no high temperatures or pressures.

The company’s deposit at Asphalt Ridge could be worth $6.2 billion at today’s prices, and cost of production is as low as $28 a barrel.

The company plans to ratchet up production to 30,000 bpd from reserves. But that’s not even the biggest opportunity here.

The licensing opportunities for Petroteq’s proprietary technology are staggering. Heavy oil drillers around the world will likely be lining up to use their methods, which could unlock trillions of barrels of heavy oil locked in oil sands worldwide.

The OPEC/U.S. energy war is heating up. Recently, American production of crude oil rose to an all-time high, surpassing 10 million bpd.

In February 2018, the International Energy Agency predicted that U.S. shale output could eventually meet all new global demand, thanks to its “extraordinary growth.”

Shale production continues to grow, and even an OPEC decision to boost output won’t slow it down.

Technology is key to this battle. The U.S. national interest is focused on increasing domestic production, achieving “energy dominance” and turning the U.S. into a major energy exporter.

Oil sands don’t seem a natural solution. They have a bad reputation: investors consider them dirty, expensive and environmentally damaging.

Despite being one of the largest petroleum deposits on earth, many majors had to divest from their holdings as the oil price crash of 2014-2016 made production prohibitively expensive.

Petroteq (TSX:PQE.V; OTC:PQEFF) is getting ready to change oil sands’ reputation, particularly for dry oil sands like those in the American west.

Technological advances such as their patented Liquid Extraction System will become a key focus for revolutionizing the economics of U.S. oil sands deposits.

Existing oil sands extraction technologies use tons of water and leave toxic trailing ponds. But Petroteq is different.

Petroteq’s system produces oil and leaves behind nothing but clean, dry sand that can be resold as frack sand or construction sand or simply returned to Mother Nature.

Better still - it is expected to achieve production costs of as low as $28/barrel for volume production.

The end results? The extracted crude oil is free of sand and solvents and then pumped out of the system into a storage tank.

According to Petroteq Chairman and CEO Aleksandr Blyumkin, “no other company has what we have in this space.”

And, their technology is already proven in test results! Petroteq has already extracted 10,000 barrels of oil at their original plant.

After months of testing, the plant is now fully up and running. Petroteq expects to produce 1,000 bpd by the end of 2018 and double that next year.

#2 Unlocking 1.2 Trillion BOE in the U.S. Alone

This tech could be the silver bullet needed to unlock the oil sands of Utah.

The state has more than half of all U.S. oil sands deposits: 32 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) waiting to be extracted from 8 major deposits.

The deposits have access to fantastic infrastructure. Five major refiners are nearby, and truck routes can deliver product quickly to Salt Lake City.

Better yet, the oil is near the surface, reducing the risk of a “dry well.”

Until now, the major problem facing the oil sands was economics.

The price of oil was simply too low: Utah oil sands couldn’t compete.

But along came Petroteq, with its patented oil extraction technology, which could harness Utah oil sands for cheap.

Petroteq acquired Asphalt Ridge for $10 million, giving it the rights to exploit a huge deposit of an estimated 86 million boe of bitumen in eastern Utah.

At current oil market prices, the field’s oil has gross value of up to $6.2 billion. That’s huge news for a company with a $60 million market cap.

And now, the Asphalt Ridge facility is fully operational. Petroteq is ramping up to produce 1,000 bpd this year and expects to reach 5,000 bpd by the end of 2020.

But the real opportunity is bigger than that. The potential for mass application of Petroteq’s (TSX:PQE.V; OTC:PQEFF) new technology is vast.

Utah, Colorado and Wyoming together hold about 1.2 trillion boe in oil sands and shale, worth a combined $72 trillion at current market prices.

At today’s prices, and with Petroteq’s cheap methods, this huge deposit is ripe for safe, inexpensive exploitation. Oil sands owners should jump at the chance to utilize Petroteq’s methods and should deliver lucrative licensing fees in the process.

With licensing its technology, all Petroteq has to do is sit back and let the fees roll in.

Plus, there are more than 20 countries around the world with sizable oil sands deposits just like Asphalt Ridge. Canada alone has more than 100 billion BOE of oil sands, worth $6 trillion.

Worldwide, oil sands deposits are estimated at 500 billion BOE.

Petroteq plans to license its tech to companies around the world, raking in hefty licensing fees and expanding its revenue base. But it will also expand its resource base on an opportunistic basis while prices are low. A recent press release announces a 7 million barrel resource acquisition. Expect it to acquire lots more oil sands property so that it can monetize its tech on its own as well.

#3 Petroteq Aims to Revolutionize Energy Supply Chains with Blockchain

Petroteq’s EOR technology isn’t their only licensing opportunity.

The company also plans to break out another game-changing technology: blockchain.

Nothing could transform oil industry supply chain management more than blockchain.

Supermajors like BP, Shell and Equinor are getting into blockchain, because they know it will make oil and gas trading easier—eliminating the middle men and bringing more efficiency to energy supply lines.

Petroteq has its very own blockchain subsidiary, PetroBLOQ, which is developing the very first blockchain-based platform exclusively for the oil and gas supply chain.

And it can be applied GLOBALLY, to the entire oil and gas chain, from well to tanker to gas pump.

PetroBLOQ is already attracting major attention:

It was cited by Geoffrey Cann, director at Deloitte specializing in oil and gas, as a contender for best blockchain tech in the energy sector.

In January 2018 PetroBLOQ reached an agreement with Pemex, the Mexican state-owned oil company. Petroteq plans on deploying its PetroBLOQ platform to the Pemex supply chain to radically improve efficiency.

Ultimately, if widely adopted, its blockchain platform could end up involved in every single transaction in the oil and gas supply chain—upstream, midstream and downstream.

#4 Management Has Major Skin In The Game

The management at Petroteq (TSX:PQE.V; OTC:PQEFF) is head and shoulders above the rest: they know the energy world and the world of blockchain inside and out.

More importantly, they’ve got their own money in the game: they’re betting on themselves to win.

Chairman Alexsander Blyumkin has invested millions of his own money in the business, including an interest-free loan he used to get the facility at Asphalt Ridge off the ground.

Founder and CTO Dr. Vladimir Podlipskiy is a 23-year veteran in chemistry, R&D and manufacturing, and a chemical scientist from UCLA. He’s the oil extraction tech genius with a line-up of patents for everything from oil extraction and mold remediation to fuel reformulators.

President, Jerry Bailey has joined Petroteq after retiring from Exxon as president of the Middle East region. He has been the face of the company for a long time – often providing energy industry advice to CNBC, CNN and Fox Business.

Chief Geologist Donald Clark, PhD, is a geologist and consultant with a wide-range of publications. Even better, he’s a blockchain tech mastermind.

Now that the Asphalt Ridge facility is up and running, Petroteq has tons of additional interest from potential partners around the world and has plans to expand its advisory board.

Together, the management team at Petroteq combines the skills, experience and innovation necessary to bring the company’s ambitious plans to fruition.

#5 We’re One Flashpoint Away from $100 Oil

Oil prices have been ticking up for months. The supply glut is gone, and markets have tightened.

OPEC is considering a boost to production, but it won’t be enough to cover collapsing production in Venezuela and Libya. Petroteq’s resource is exactly the type of heavy oil that is needed in the market, as Venezuela’s production decline has refineries looking for more heavy oil. This void in the regional market might mean that Petroteq’s oil might sell on par or at a price very close to WTI.

New sanctions on Iran will cut into oil production as well.

Saudi officials are eyeing $100 for the Saudi Aramco IPO.

But it’s possible oil prices could scoot even higher, as production bottlenecks in the Permian Basin slow down the growth of U.S. shale.

Prices are pointing upwards, and that would make the Petroteq (TSX:PQE.V; OTC:PQEFF) oil sands play even more valuable.

#6 Trump’s $1.7 Trillion Infrastructure Plan

Now is the time to pay attention to Petroteq (TSX:PQE.V; OTC:PQEFF) for a single big reason - the likely imminent spike in demand for heavy oil.

President Donald S. Trump has announced a $1.7 trillion infrastructure plan.

Billions of dollars will be deployed to rebuild U.S. infrastructure and infrastructure construction requires exactly the kind of heavy oil that Petroteq can produce from oil sands. Petroteq is an approved government supplier – and may generate revenues by selling the raw bitumen ore to roadbuilders.

Petroteq’s mine has supplied regional players in the market for years!

This is a story of extracting costs targeted as low as $28 per barrel of oil… in a $74 world.

Not only that - but Petroteq is the only known company with the technology to tap trillions of barrels of “trapped” heavy oil in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming.

And now, their first production facility is up and running—proof that their revolutionary concept for extracting oil sands works.

The U.S. is positioned to become the world’s dominant energy producer. And it’s all thanks to innovation from companies like Petroteq (TSX:PQE.V; OTC:PQEFF).

London – May 30, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: A billion-dollar industry has sprung up virtually overnight. Cannabis has gone from taboo to big business, and most of it is happening in Canada, a country with 35 million people and big, green ambitions.

“Cannabusiness” is growing at an astounding rate, and it is much more advanced than you might think. Today’s cutting-edge technology has a big role to play in managing this new “Green Revolution.” One company is entering the world of marijuana technology…and faces little competition.

BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX) is a full-service software company which has developed the world’s first integrated platform that tracks and registers cannabis intellectual property (IP) “from genome to sale.”

The company’s software utilizes blockchain technology, and is proprietary, immutable and cryptographically secure from external tampering: a completely safe repository for IP and a “single source of truth for cannabis strains and their ownership.”

It’s the “smart hub” for cannabis, bringing cutting-edge tech to one of the hottest industries of 2018. BLOCKStrain is the first to the field in tracking and verifying cannabis products, bringing transparency, trust and safety to an industry which for decades operated mostly on the black market. And with Canadian legalization only weeks away, the company seems to be poised to dominate a growing market…one with global sales expected to reach $63 billion by 2024.

Here are 5 reasons to keep a close eye on BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX)

1) A Soon To Be $63 Billion Industry

Canada is on the verge of a historic milestone, becoming the first G7 country to make cannabis fully legal. The number of licensed producers (LPs) has shot through the roof as growers try to position themselves to meet increased demand.

Canada’s cannabis exports increased by 400 percent in 2017. The nation’s marijuana market is set to grow to more than $20 billion once legalization goes through. In May, the industry had its first billion-dollar buyout. As the first developed country to embrace full marijuana legalization, Canada is about to become the pot capital of the world.

But with so many growers crowding the market, tracking and verifying product strains poses a big challenge. Why is weed special? Well, it remains subject to different laws and regulations depending on regions: federal legalization will help with that problem, but provincial authorities will continue to affect how cannabis can be bought and sold.

Patent protection for marijuana strains is a historic trouble spot for the industry: it can be difficult to find adequate legal protections for products, and thieves can duplicate strains and rip off IP with ease.

Finally, with so many unprotected strains out there, ensuring quality control and bringing transparency to the market is absolutely necessary. Without effective quality assurance, strains might not perform as advertised, with potentially harmful consequences.

Supply chain management for cannabis could be a huge opportunity, one which has gone relatively under-appreciated in the cannabis stock boom of 2017-2018. The global cannabis market is projected to be $63 billion by 2024, and could overtake cigarette sales, currently $77 billion.

Billions of dollars in product will soon be changing hands across a global marijuana market, but without quality assurance, patent protection and tracking/verification, billions could be lost in waste.

And that’s where BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX) comes in. It’s first to the field in supply chain management and will be the first company to apply proprietary software and blockchain technology to the marijuana market.

2) First to Market in Canada

On the verge of legalization, the Canadian government is making moves to ensure the new recreational pot market is regulated, to protect growers, distributors and consumers.

But right now, there’s only one company positioned to verify and track pot sales nationwide—BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX).

The company faces little competition and will have huge scope to dominate the Canadian domestic recreational pot market, estimated to reach $8.7 billion in sales by 2024. And with legalization on the horizon, the Canadian government has indicated its determination to “strictly regulate” the cannabis space. That presents wide opportunities for companies like BLOCKStrain.

The company has already signed deals with WeedMD Inc. (TSX-V: WMD), a licensed producer (LP) under Canada’s Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR). This includes the integration of BLOCKStrain’s blockchain-based secure platform into a member of the federal LP system. “We believe that BLOCKStrain is best positioned to protect our intellectual property by further validating and securing our best-in-class genetics,” said Derek Pedro, design, cultivation and production partner at WeedMD.

WeedMD has invested $500,000 in BLOCKStrain’s platform and will receive a board seat, making it the first LP to integrate blockchain into its ecosystem. And this is just the beginning. There are over 100 LPs in Canada, with more going on-line every month. BLOCKStrain offers the only blockchain enabled method for verifying and tracking sales, protecting product from fraud and ensuring quality control.

It has the Canadian market cornered…a domestic marijuana space that generates $24 billion in total economic activity.

3) Tech to the Rescue

What makes BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX) so special? The key is in the name: this is the first company to bring blockchain technology to the marijuana supply chain. You’ve heard of blockchain: one of the hottest buzz-words in tech last year, blockchain acts as a digital ledger for transactions. It cuts through third-party obstructions and delivers super-fast, reliable accounting for colossal amounts of data.

Bitcoin may have been flash-in-the-pan, but blockchain could potentially transform whole industries.

Now, BLOCKStrain has adapted it for the cannabis space. They aim to use the blockchain to validate and verify products, providing security for licensed producers and transparency for users.

BLOCKStrain’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is a pioneer of applying new tech to the marijuana market. He has twenty years of experience in enterprise design and development for major companies like Microsoft, YouTube and Mercedes Benz, and served as the CTO for Weedmaps—the biggest tech player in the cannabis space.

Driven by innovative leadership, BLOCKStrain has developed a “clean, immutable, legal and transparent distribution network of product between producers and consumers”—the first time that a full transparency and security has been brought to the marijuana space.

And the great thing about the blockchain is that it’s easily exportable—from Canada, BLOCKStrain could bring its tech to cannabis markets all over the world, embracing the global pot industry. And who says they should stop with pot? There are trillion-dollar industries out there in need of verification services, presenting even greater opportunities for BLOCKStrain’s proprietary platform.

4) From Here to Millions

The global pot industry could exceed $63 billion in legal sales by 2024…and right now, BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX) is one of the only companies out there providing verification and transparency for producers and consumers. Even if it captures only one percent of the market, that’s $630 million worth of cannabis sales per year that is looking for the protection that BLOCKStrain can offer. Bring that up to 10 percent, and you’re looking at a colossal opportunity for a small cap company.

Using the blockchain should cut way down on verification costs, while BLOCKStrain’s access to Canada’s fully-legal market will give it expertise it can apply elsewhere, once other countries start to fully legalize.

The legal market in the U.S. is $9.7 billion, but if the federal government ever embraces full legalization, that could explode to $55 billion virtually overnight. With current trends, a decade from now, the North American market could be worth $47 billion.

As sales grow and the number of LPs, marketers and distributors expand, consumers and regulators will demand greater transparency, while the LPs themselves will need verification that their products are protected.

Demand for BLOCKStrain’s services is already starting to grow: the WeedMD deal could be the sign of bigger deals further down the road. Several more clients are scheduled to come on line shortly, and more partnerships are soon expected to be announced.

Cnnabis is only the beginning. Verification for seed, food and plant material is another huge opportunity for BLOCKStrain’s proprietary tech. And while weed is a billion-dollar opening, the global grocery industry, for example, is $3.2 trillion…which could potentially all be placed on the blockchain through BLOCKStrain’s immutable, secure and transparent system.

5) About Time

Once pot becomes fully legal, it’s going to need what all large industries need: quality control, transparency and security for producers and consumers. BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX) can do that, all on a platform that is fully capable of expanding out from Canada to embrace the whole world and the growing global pot market.

The deal with WeedMD has brought BLOCKStrain into the world of officially-licensed legal producers. The Canadian government has expressed its wish to bring full regulation to the pot market, opening up opportunities for BLOCKStrain’s services.

The WeedMD deal is just the tip of the iceberg. There are dozens of LPs looking for verification for their products, and at the moment only BLOCKStrain’s immutable, secure software can give them the transparency they are looking for.

According to CEO Robert Galarza, “Our platform brings the best aspects of blockchain technology into the cannabis industry in order to protect the intellectual property of producers, while giving customers visibility and transparency.”

BLOCKStrain (TSX.V:DNAX) has few competitors, a fast-growing market and potential to grow in the near future to other industries and markets.

London – May 15, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: The clock is ticking down. On or around August, 2018 Prime Minister Trudeau will sign the Cannabis Act - fully legalizing recreational marijuana in Canada.

With mere months until this $22.6 billion market, which includes retail cannabis and all related products and services, is ripped wide open, there’s a major problem most investors are ignoring: there’s not enough pot to go around.

Licensed cannabis growers only have about 60,000 kg per year of capacity. That’s well short of the 900,000 kg Canadians are expected to consume in the first 12 months after legalization.

What could that mean? In one word - price shocks.

For companies like Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF) that can help plug the supply gap, this represents a huge opportunity.

After introducing the world’s first “cannabis streaming” model in 2017, they now have exposure to effectively 2,000,000 square feet of marijuana cultivation space.

They’re poised to participate in every link of the cannabis value chain - from production and distribution to medical applications, nutraceuticals and beverages.

Here are five reasons why investors should be watching Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF) very closely.

#1 The Great Canadian Marijuana Explosion

In November 2017, the proposed Cannabis Act was passed by the lower house of the Canadian Parliament and is now with the Senate. It is expected that the law will be fully enacted by the end of summer, 2018, opening up all of Canada to legalized cannabis.

That watershed moment is only a few months away.

The economic impact is predicted to be truly massive. For companies like Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF), it’s possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Consider that the number of medical marijuana patients has already tripled in the last year from around 100,000 to 300,000 and continues to grow at seven percent month over month.

Right now, licensed producers in Canada only provide about seven percent of the potential recreational demand, serving a medical marijuana patient base of 300,000 people.

With full legalization in place, Deloitte estimates the total economic impact of the industry could be $22.6 billion annually - more than the combined sales of beer, wine and spirits.

Canadians will be able to order pot to their door, allowing for easy consumption on a scale never before imagined. That means demand is expected to spike, big time.

ight now, cannabis producers are in a tight spot. Canada currently has just over 100 licensed producers authorized to produce cannabis and only 40 producers authorized to sell cannabis. They grow about 60,000 kg of pot, a mere 7 percent of the potential demand once pot is legalized this summer.

The most recent data by Marijuana Policy Group asserts that demand for recreational cannabis in Canada will be much stronger than expected.

It could exceed 900,000 kgs next year.

Even if every funded square foot of growing space comes online as expected, with no delays whatsoever - we could still be facing a supply shortage through 2021.

Production, distribution, marketing: it’s all in need of rapid expansion.

And, that only accounts for Canadian demand. With legalization sweeping across the globe, including huge markets like California: we may literally run out of pot.

Cannabis Wheaton, thanks to its streaming model, access to capital and market expertise, is well positioned to exploit the need for future expansion.

And, with legalization going global - Cannabis Wheaton could become a future cannabis “multi-national,” serving consumers around the world.

#2 A Unique Streaming Business Model

Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF) is driven by a unique business model.

It’s the first company to propose “cannabis streaming” - bank-rolling the growth plans of licensed producers in exchange for equity and a steady stream of royalties or taking possession of a portion of the actual pot.

The streaming business model is incredibly attractive. It gives you all the upside exposure of individual LPs, with incredible diversification - and fewer operational headaches.

That’s why royalty companies like Franco Nevada in the mining industry ($13.31b market cap) are typically much larger than the companies they partner with and command significantly higher valuation multiples.

CBW has signed partnership agreements with 17 facilities across six provinces, with a combined 2.0 million effective square feet of cannabis growing space.

The company also has partnerships with 39 clinics, with access to over 30,000 registered medical marijuana patients. They’re actively growing that network.

And, here’s the best part - Cannabis Wheaton’s royalty-based business model is designed to allow it to earn immediately from profitable relationships.

They also have tremendous diversification. With interests in numerous operations, if one crop fails - CBW can turn to another producer without breaking a sweat.

Cannabis Wheaton is building a pan-Canadian network of streaming partners - including producers and distributors - just as it prepares for a potential revolutionary expansion in demand.

Check out its streaming partners below:

And, with legalization on the horizon, a whole new class of startup companies are eager to take advantage of this potential $22.6 billion market.

Cannabis Wheaton recently launched its “Wheaton Licensing Program,” to assist applicants wishing to become Licensed Producers with knowledge of the market.

Think of it as an “incubator” for potential cannabis producers and distributors, all of which could be future streaming partners or acquisition targets.

As the industry grows, Cannabis Wheaton aims to be at the center of it all.

#3 “Downstream” Leverage

Through 2021, Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF) expects to capitalize on the massive supply shortage in Canada’s newly legalized markets.

Eventually - however - supply will catch up with demand. Marijuana scarcity premiums will shrink. In response, the company is aggressively climbing the value chain.

Over the last year, they’ve become a lot more vertically integrated. They plan to participate economically in every part of the marijuana value chain.

The structure they use to talk about this system is the oil and gas terminology of upstream, midstream and downstream.

Upstream is all the cultivation – where they collect royalties from their streaming partners or can take physical possession of the cannabis to sell into a higher value channel where higher margins can be captured.

Midstream is where the product goes after it leaves the grow facilities. Just as it’s playing out in the U.S., lot of cannabis will be consumed in dry forms or oils.

Edibles, beverages and other innovative formats are increasingly popular and today account for at least 50% of products consumed in recreational US states like Colorado and California.

Cannabis Wheaton has responded by going on a dealmaking spree. They bought Dosecann, which has extraction and R&D facilities for developing higher margin offerings.

Downstream is all the straight to consumer distribution channels. Cannabis Wheaton has split these efforts into three channels: medical, domestic retail, and international.

In February 2018, they secured a distribution deal and ownership stake in Inner Spirit - a market leader in the franchising of retail cannabis dispensaries in Canada.

They’ve also partnered with Province Brands - which aims to become the first company to develop a premium line of beverages brewed exclusively from cannabis.

Along with its partnerships, Cannabis Wheaton has entered into a distribution alliance with a national independent convenience store chain. The agreement will give Wheaton a 10-year exclusive relationship with the nation-wide store chain for medical cannabis distribution.

In a recent interview, CEO Chuck Rifici said these deals could “take us from a wholesale per gram cost for a dry flower of 4 or 5 bucks, into a wholesale refined good - which could be 5 or 6 times the revenue per gram equivalent.” That’s a massive competitive advantage.

Cannabis Wheaton also have their eyes set on emerging legal markets in Europe and Latin America. In January, they announced the acquisition of 80 percent of Uruguay cannabis company Inverell - which produces high grade CBD oil at incredible margins.

The international market for cannabis is projected to hit $31.4 billion by 2021.

#4 Broad Access to Capital

In November 2017, Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF) completed a private placement of convertible debenture units for $35 Million in additional capital. Following that in January 2018, the company raised an additional $100 million through another offering of convertible debentures.

That’s on top of $50 million raised in June 2017. This gives The Company a full war chest to finance deals, acquisitions and new streaming agreements.

Cannabis Wheaton recently announced a $10 million debt financing deal with Beleave Inc., the parent company of a licensed producer, built around a novel debt instrument dubbed the Debt Obligation repayable in Product Equivalent, or “DOPE Note”.

The DOPE Note model allows the company to loan Beleave up to $10 million and receive repayment in cannabis, which can be sold by Beleave to its patients and/or customers or the company can sell on to other distributors.

The first $5 million has already been advanced.

Expect to see more of these deals as Cannabis Wheaton continues to aggressively pursue every sector of the marijuana market, in Canada and abroad.

#5 Highly Connected & Experienced Management Team

Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF) has a strong team at the helm, an experienced group of cannabis experts with enough market savvy to take full advantage of Canada’s changing regulations.

CEO Chuck Rifici is a well-known figure in the cannabis industry, the co-founder of Canada’s largest government-sanctioned marijuana producer, Canopy Growth Corp., and the man who took it public in April 2014. Canopy has a $6.0 billion market cap and is the largest public cannabis company in the world.A pioneer of the legal pot trade, Rifici has also sat on the board of a number of industry standouts, including Supreme Pharmaceuticals Inc. (FIRE), CannaRoyalty Corp. (CRZ) and
Aurora Cannabis Inc. (ACB).

Rifici has the political connections to make it in the world of pot, still an industry in need of strong government direction. He is the former chief financial officer of the Liberal party, and the company’s strategic advisor Rick Dykstra is a former Conservative Member of Parliament and former Ontario party president.

Cannabis Wheaton is well positioned to navigate the regulatory environment. Rifici and Dykstra can count on legal knowledge from industry expert Hugo Alves, a former partner at Bennett Jones LLP, founder of the firm’s Cannabis Group and another industry pioneer and now President and Director of Cannabis Wheaton.

Alves has advised over 15 of the leading licensed producers, as well as 60 ancillary cannabis businesses. Possibly no one in Canada knows more about the regulatory environment than him, and possibly no one could give better advice as to how to navigate the changing waters of the legal cannabis industry than him.

With this management team in place and its unique business model to back it up, Cannabis Wheaton considers itself better positioned than any other firm to take full advantage of the coming cannabis boom.

Conclusion

As we speak, the global legalization wave is picking up steam.

The state of California, one of the largest cannabis markets in the world, started selling recreational pot early this year. By some estimates, the legal cannabis market in North America could be $24.5 billion by 2021.

While federal law in the United States may take some time to change, you can be sure that Germany, Ireland, France, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and a host of other countries will take notice and may also join the cannabis craze.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. And Cannabis Wheaton (TSX-V:CBW; OTC: CBWTF) is a company that bears close watching.

If investors want to get in on the action, they should consider now as a very good time.

But one little-known miner called Vatic Ventures (TSXV:VCV.V) with a simple business strategy... is sitting on a potential find that could make a real difference in Asia.

Scour the globe with the latest technology for a commodity that is needed right where the commodity is found.

In simple terms: Find something everyone needs... in the region where it’s most needed.

In fact, they are hoping to be sitting on one of the largest finds of its kind... in the PERFECT location.
· It has the infrastructure... electricity, water, roads and labor.
· It has incredible local and regional demand from Southeast Asia, India and China.

It’s critical to rice and other crop production... in a region experiencing tremendous growth.

It’s a vital component in fertilizers, and it is crucial for increasing crop yields.

The price of potash is hovering around $225 per ton and could well increase over the course of 2018.

And as the world’s population continues to grow, demand for potash is set to rise higher and higher and higher.

Right now, the potash market is cornered by several major producers—Canada and Russia, where production and transportation costs are high, and reserves are dwindling.

The UN projects the world’s population to rise 42% to 10 billion people by 2050, and farmers are going to need a lot of potash to help grow enough food to fill all those stomachs.

Potash demand is very likely to rise—along with Vatic’s chances of success if it finds what it hopes to on its project.

The Saksrithai potash project in northeastern Thailand is 32 sq. kms of prime real estate, 270 kms from Bangkok, Thailand. So, transportation costs of the potash to end users would be low compared to current transport routes that must cross the

world to get into the local market. Local production will also cut down on the premium that is paid by regional potash importers. This is important because potash is shipped by the ton and is very bulky.

Vatic (TSXV:VCV.V) obtained an 80 percent interest in Saksrithai in early 2017, and immediately proceeded with an initial seismic survey, environmental study and geological survey. Drilling is set to commence around May 1, 2018, and Vatic plans to spend $1.5 million over 15-18 months to prove the project’s feasibility.

Thailand is believed to have the world’s largest untapped potash deposits. The Khorat Evaporite basin contains billions of tons of sylvanite and carnallite, covering about 300,000 sq km. It was formed millions of years ago and is prime potash mining real estate.

The deposit at Udon Thani, which the CEO of Vatic first developed in the 1990s, was estimated to hold 908 million tons—at current prices, worth $206 billion.

Recognizing the bonanza, the Thai government put together a steering committee in 2014 to attract investment in potash mining.

Even better, the project at Saskrithai is said to be shallow and easy to mine. So, mining costs are low.

Those deposits are situated a mere 150-350m below the surface. Around the world, similar deposits can be as deep as 1.9 km—and cost a lot more to dig up.

At Dan Khun Thot, drilling has found deposits close together, at grades as high as 34.03 percent. That property, which is directly adjacent to Vatic’s Saksrithai, is already projected to produce 500,000 tons per year, or about $113 million per year at current prices.

Vatic’s property is hoped to be bountiful or more. Its surveys have uncovered promising signs of deposits of high grade, and the potential of the deposit could be as large as the property itself.

The key to Vatic’s (TSXV:VCV.V) future is the location of its big discovery: Thailand.

Nearly all the world’s potash comes from a handful of exporters, all of them in Russia, Europe or North America. But the major import markets are in Asia, and one of the biggest markets is Southeast Asia. And that’s where Vatic comes in.

Vatic (TSXV:VCV.V) has the solution: its potash exploration property is close to major markets. Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia make up 75 percent of all Asian potash imports, excluding China and India.

Vatic’s goal is that its potash would enjoy a major transportation cost advantage from potash imported from Europe or North America—up to $60/ton, enough to make Vatic’s product 26 percent cheaper than imports.

Thailand currently imports 100 percent of its potash, which means that a Saksrithai find could fill a major hole in the Southeast Asian market. Imports have kept up with demand since 2011, and demand is expected to rise steadily until 2027.

Currently, the four biggest countries in Southeast Asia excluding China and India (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia) import about 5 million tons of potash each year, worth $1.25 billion—a market that Vatic hopes to tap almost immediately after it proves up its resources and builds its mine.

And in China and India, potash demand is massive—it’s crucial to regional rice and palm oil production.

From the Saksrithai property, Vatic has excellent access to excellent infrastructure: it can drive potash down the road to market with a relatively low transportation investment.

So, thanks to advantages in cost and a superb geographic location, the opportunities for Vatic (TSXV:VCV.V) to tap major market demand for potash are massive.

The world needs potash: it’s a crucial ingredient in fertilizer and is in hot demand all over the world.

Supply is expected to quadruple between 2020-2027 to keep up with demand, but there’s a chance that delays in bringing new production on-line would lead to a tight market, potentially for the next decade.

Vatic’s (TSXV:VCV.V) project in Thailand is on the doorstep of the world’s largest potash markets—China and India. Demand for potash has been growing strong at 6 percent per year and shows no signs of slowing down.

In Southeast Asia, demand for potash is off the charts—it’s 4.25X local production, requiring mass imports from Russia and Canada.

But Vatic’s potash play in Thailand is aimed to help meet that demand, at a lower price than competitors.

Vatic Ventures (TSXV:VCV.V) is a Western company making a play for Thai potash—because it’s led by a management team with the skill set needed to pull off a this very promising venture.

CEO Dr. Gerald Wright already has one big success under his belt. He was part of the first Thai potash play by a Western company—Udon Thani, which he helped fund and develop in the mid-1990s. As CEO of Asia Pacific, Wright took a struggling firm to an almost $1 billion valuation, raising over $100 million in the 1990s. He’s CEO of Hong-Kong based Red Branch Investments Ltd., and he has thirty years of experience in mineral exploration across four continents.

The Board of Directors is dominated by Nasim Tyab, a financier with twenty years of experience in international capital markets, and Barry Coughlan, a Vancouver-based businessman with thirty-years of experience in financing and a string of successful mining ventures under his belt.

Together with Wright, they have excellent connections in Thailand and a partnership with a Thai firm to develop the Saksrithai property.

As a Western firm to get into Thai potash mining, Vatic has an open field in which to expand—and hopes to seize opportunities other companies haven’t recognized yet.

In February the company’s stock uplisted from the NEX to the TSX Venture Exchange, where it qualifies as a Tier Two stock.

This is sure to attract more investor attention for a company that has a tiny $3.6 million market cap.

Other mining plays have been hugely successful. A non-western firm in the potash business, Danakali Resources working in Eritrea, Africa and an Australian company HighField Resources working in Spain, have realized market caps of $186 million and $347 million, respectively. And Vatic aims to be next, once operations start up.

But then again, the Vatic play could be much, much bigger. Dr. Wright, the CEO, has very high hopes.

The pre-drilling indications are promising, and the nearby potash property is already projected to bring in hundreds of thousands of tons.

The Thai market depends on imports, which local production could be in a great position to undercut, capturing a huge share of the market.

Thailand’s strategic location makes it the perfect place from which to jump into the lucrative Southeast Asian markets—

Vatic (TSXV:VCV.V) is one to look at carefully... before the extent of its resources becomes known.

London – April 18, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: It’s one of the most unbelievable energy stories of the year.

A Chinese oil company was sitting on what might be a major oil discovery - a 182-million-barrel probable reserve, with great potential to grow.

They spent hundreds of millions of dollars and sunk 13 wells, shot or acquired 6,700 km of 2D seismic, and shot over 1,000 km of 3D seismic. Then - thanks to a weird quirk of Sudanese geology - they gave away the entire African mother lode for free.

They literally abandoned their whole investment in the Al-Rawat Basin.

Now, a tiny Canadian explorer - Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) - stands to reap a petroleum opportunity unlike anything we’ve seen in years.

And, they’re doing it with an energy industry legend - the one man with a nearly perfect 40-year record of striking oil in the tricky rock of Sudan.

Here are five reasons you should be paying attention to Stamper today:

1. China’s Huge Mistake
2. Stamper Oil’s Secret Weapon
3. A Fortune On The White Nile
4. The Sudanese Oil Dream Team
5. In Place Free Infrastructure

The story of Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) begins with a colossal blunder by Chinese geophysicists on the shores of the White Nile.

Beijing’s Huge Mistake

15 years ago, an oil hungry China made Sudan’s Al-Rawat Basin a major focus of their multi-billion dollar energy exploration machine.

One Chinese oil company spent ten years scouring the region for oil. Anticipating a massive find, they sank thirteen wells, acquired or shot 6,700 km. of 2D seismic and shot 1,000 sq. km. of 3D seismic spending $100s of millions in the process.

And, while they did strike a little oil - ongoing seismic studies determined their blocks held far less than they had anticipated. Eventually, they gave up.

The Chinese turned everything over to the Sudanese government.

The problem? It turns out they were hunting for the wrong kind of oil formation. If they knew what to look for, they might have unlocked a major oil find.

Now, Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) is looking to swipe the entire African oil bonanza right out from under China’s nose.

And, it’s all thanks to a man known as Mr. 99 percent.

Stamper Oil’s Secret Weapon

George Fulford is a legend in Sudan, with 40 years of experience and connections at the highest levels of the Sudanese petroleum industry.

He’s also known as “Mr. 99 percent." Why? Because after drilling 77 wells across the country, he can boast an almost unparalleled success rate in the industry.

No one alive knows more about Sudanese oil. So when the Chinese flopped in the Al-Rawat - it’s no surprise that Fulford spotted their mistake.

Four years ago, Stamper CEO David Greenway asked Fulford to interpret seismic data that had been done on the huge Al -Rawat oil concession that the Chinese company had let go.

Fulford immediately figured out what China had missed.

You see - the Chinese were looking for so-called “structural” deposits - the kind that nearly all oil exploration in the world looks for. Big mistake.

That’s because the oil locked away in Sudan is not structural, but stratigraphic.

These rare deposits are locked in place by cap rock, making them difficult to dislodge, and difficult to find… unless you know precisely what you’re looking for.

That’s George Fulford comes in. He’s worked with stratigraphic oil for years.

Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) has now locked down his expertise: adding him to their technical advisory board in January.

The Latest Great Oil Discovery On Earth

Sudapet Petroleum, Sudan’s national oil company, upon learning of this report drilled eight test wells.

The first five “structural” oil wells proved underwhelming. But the last three “stratigraphic” holes gushed oil at a rate of up to 2,200 barrels per day (bpd), thereby proving out Fulford’s hypothesis of a stratigraphic play.

Based on Fulford’s finds, Stamper Oil & Gas signed an MOU with State Oil Corporation (“SOC”) which has an MOU with Sudapet Co. Ltd, a Sudan company that has the oil development rights to some of the Al-Rawat Basin, giving SOC the right to purchase up to 50 percent of Block 25 in Sudan from Sudapet. So far there is an agreement in place for State Oil to buy 35 percent of Block 25.

Estimated probable reserves on the Al-Rawat field are around 182 million barrels.

Sudapet has 6,000 bpd ready to produce and will add the 33 wells to be drilled as they come on line, at a projected cost-per-barrel of only $17-$20 (compare that to the $50-$75 it costs to produce a barrel of oil in Alberta).

Keep in mind that today Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) has a total market cap of just $13.44 million. The opportunity is clear.

And Stamper has the team to capitalize on it. Stamper can buy 100 percent of SOC for 25 million Stamper shares and pay certain costs of SOC. SOC can earn a 35 percent interest in Block 25 developed oil fields for $40,144,000, and another $26,250,000 for the same participation in the development block of oil fields, plus its share of new well costs. All of these costs will be recovered through the Production Sharing Agreement with the Sudanese Government.

The White Nile Dream Team

The management at Stamper has the skills needed to reinvent the Sudanese oil industry - and capitalize on what might be the one of the last great discoveries on Earth.

You already know about George Fulford. He’s the gold standard in Sudanese oil exploration.
CEO David Greenway has two decades of experience in managing, financing and developing growth for junior public resource companies like Stamper.

He achieved great success as CEO of Chief Consolidated Gold Mines and SNS Silver Corp, and he’s aiming to make similar gains with Stamper.

CFO David Alexander has thirty years of experience in international finance and has helped identify stressed assets and developed a framework to realize value from those assets in excess of $1 billion. As CFO of Arakis Energy Corporation in the early 1990s, Mr. Alexander helped managed the company’s growth from startup to over a billion barrel in reserves primarily in Sudan. Arakis was subsequently sold to Talisman Energy.

Chairman Lutfur Rahman Khan has more than three decades of experience in the oil and gas sector. He’s well aware of the difficulties of working in Sudan.

As Chairman of Arakis Energy Corporation from 1995 to 1999, he oversaw the acquisition of a 12.2-million- acre oil concession in Sudan.

The concession was a huge triumph, with 1 billion barrels discovered.

Mr. Khan has also been active throughout Canada, Africa and the Middle East and controls several companies in the upstream and downstream sectors.

With over one hundred years of cumulative experience of its people and immense knowledge of working in Sudan, Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) is superbly positioned.

A Multi- Million Gift from China

With the potential of a project like this, with probable reserves bordering 182 million barrels, located deep in the remote border regions of Sudan - you’d typically be facing hundreds of millions in exploration costs.

But, once again - Stamper has an ace in the hole.

Imagine someone building a factory and equipping it with everything you need to produce one of the most in-demand commodities on Earth.

Now imagine they gave it to you for free.

That’s essentially what happened here.

You see - the Chinese built up $100s of millions of exploration in their failed search for structural oil deposits. They abandoned these assets as good as new.

Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) through its partner State Oil are going to help develop them.

This gives them a huge leg up when it comes to commercializing the find.

CONCLUSION

Years from now, we may view the story of Stamper Oil as one of the greatest “scoops” in the history of energy exploration. It may also be one of China’s biggest blunders.

We’re talking about a 182-million-barrel probable reserve discovery.

Right now, Stamper Oil & Gas (TSX.V: STMP; OTC: STMGF) is worth just $13.44 million.

Operators of Block 25 can tap into the region’s special geology within a projected one-year start pumping out 6,000 bpd at a cost-per-barrel estimated at only $17-20, until production from 33 planned new wells being drilled can be added on

At 6,000 bpd gross profits should approximate $20 million before production sharing. That means potential for millions in annual gross profit is just waiting to be tapped. Stamper’s portion is set to be over 31 percent under existing MOUs.

The time to pay close attention is right now.

London – April 3, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: We’re facing an imminent crisis in global lithium markets. Demand is growing exponentially, and lithium consumers are facing a 100,000-ton shortfall by 2025.

Traditional lithium brine projects take too long to put into production. At up to 48 months, they won’t be able to close the supply gap on their own.

The industry is turning to high grade, hard rock lithium pegmatite deposits. That’s why Power Metals Corp (TSXV:PWM.V; OTC:PWRMF) is becoming a critical stock to follow.

They’ve recruited the world’s top lithium pegmatite expert and invested in next generation 3D modeling for what could be the largest drill campaign of its kind for lithium today.

With results expected in a matter of months and a fully funded ongoing drill program - Power Metals is the biggest, under the radar lithium story to watch for 2018 and beyond.

Here are 5 reasons why you should keep your eye on Power Metals Corp (TSXV:PWM.V; OTC:PWRMF)

1. Runaway Lithium Prices.
2. The New Opportunity In “Hard Rock” Lithium.
3. Exciting Exploration Play.
4. Their Secret Weapon: The Queen Of Lithium Pegmatite.
5. Incredible Ontario Tax Advantages.

We’re Nearing A Major Crisis Point In Lithium

Lithium is in the midst of an unprecedented boom. Since 2015, the price per ton has soared from $6,500 to over $20,000, and demand shows no signs of stopping.

In fact - with explosive demand growth for smartphones, EV’s and home storage batteries - we might soon hit the physical limits of our lithium supply chain.

Companies like Power Metals stand to attract major investor attention.

According to reports - the crisis is about to get a lot worse.

Analysts at UBS Securities expect us to hit a critical milestone in 2018 - as electric cars finally hit cost parity with the internal combustion engine.

That event should trigger a wave of EV adoption across the globe.

Electric car batteries require a staggering amount of lithium to produce.

The Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) 70kWh Model S battery pack contains 63Kg of lithium, equivalent to the amount of lithium in 10,000 cellphones.

Oil major Total predicts we’ll see 20 million electric vehicle sales by 2030. That’s the lithium equivalent of building 200 billion iPhones.

That would require up to 1,200,000 tons of lithium, or 6x current global production.

Morningstar predicts a 100,000-ton annual shortfall in supply by 2025.

By 2030, today’s lithium prices might look incredibly cheap.

Power Metals Opportunity In “Hard Rock” Lithium

Global lithium supply is concentrated in relatively few locations. Lithium brine deposits in Argentina and Chile represent nearly 60 percent of global production.

These deposits are time consuming to put into production.

It can take 12-24 months to set up a facility. Then it takes another 12-24 months for the evaporative extraction process to produce usable lithium.

It may literally be impossible to scale up production in time.

That’s where Power Metals Corp (TSXV:PWM.V; OTC:PWRMF) comes in. They’re leading the charge through a massive drill program of “hard rock” lithium exploration in so called “pegmatite” deposits.

Many Pegmatites are known to have much higher lithium concentrations than brines.

Unlike brine, high-grade lithium pegmatite can be processed into a higher quality battery-grade lithium hydroxide, where consumers like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) are lining up to buy it. The low-grade lithium produced from brine operators produces a lower grade lithium carbonate which is far less valuable.

All of this makes the hard rock method much more attractive to battery manufacturers.

And, while hard rock lithium projects were once viewed as prohibitively expensive - they’ve become very lucrative at $20,000 per ton lithium sales prices.

Credit Suisse analyst John McNulty estimates “Lithium from minerals or ores costs about $4,200-4,500/tonne (€2,800-3,000/tonne) to produce.”

That could potentially deliver $15,800 per ton in gross profit.

Exciting Lithium Exploration Play

Today, Power Metals Corp (TSXV:PWM.V; OTC:PWRMF) is potentially sitting on one of the largest and most exciting high grade, hard rock lithium pegmatite projects in the world.

It’s not in the Atacama Desert, or deep in Central Asia.

This lithium bonanza is located near the Gigafactory in a politically stable Canada.

Power Metals currently controls three properties in Ontario, each of which has vast exploration upside. The most important of the three is Case Lake.

Case Lake is located near established gold mining camps in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. All season access roads surround it on all sides.

It consists of a total of 38 mining claims with 7136 hectares of land. Multiple pegmatite outcrops were historically identified on the property.

In 2017, Power Metals started with a drill program for 5,000 meters. On their 8th hole they high grade lithium and tantalum. See PWM’s November 2, 2017 news release for grade numbers.

To put that into context - a 1 percent grade is considered high for hard rock deposits.

Lithium grades on some cores ran as high as 3 times that.

Beginning in January 2018, Power Metals drilled 3,000 meters on a dyke that very high grade lithium at surface. The Company is eagerly awaiting these lab results. See the company’s news releases of January 22 and 24, 2018.

Over 15,000 meters of drilling is budgeted and funded for 2018. And, the team at Power Metals has a secret weapon for their upcoming drill campaign.

The Queen Of High Grade Hard Rock Lithium

Power Metals Corp (TSXV:PWM.V; OTC:PWRMF) has retained Dr. Julie Selway, as Vice President of Exploration. She has co-authored twenty-two scientific journal articles on lithium pegmatites.

Her expertise is so highly regarded, she’s known as the Queen of Lithium Pegmatites.

She worked for the Ontario Geological Survey during the tantalum boom in the early 2000’s. During this time, she visited about 90 percent of the pegmatites in the province.

Dr. Selway has worked on properties including Case Lake, Georgia Lake, Seymour Lake, Crescent Lake and Separation Rapids pegmatite fields.

She’s the co-author of twenty-three NI43-101 reports.

Now she’s leading Power Metals new exploration campaign.

There are several reasons to get excited about the upcoming program. First, PWM uses a 3D model to target every single drill hole they punch.

Geologist in the field update their office with their quick log every day. The 3D model is then updated every second day - giving PWM better targeting.

They set the coordinates of 2-3 proposed holes at a time, rather than blindly setting up locations for 30 holes at the beginning of the program.

This means their geologists - lead by Dr. Selway - can react intelligently and change the exploration plan based on the previous day’s drill core.

We believe Power Metals Corp (TSXV:PWM.V; OTC:PWRMF) is the smartest lithium pegmatite explorer, with the best technology and the right geologist.

1) Extraordinary Tax Benefits In The Ontario Jurisdiction

Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (NYSE:SQM) and Albemarle (NYSE:ALB) were recently forced to sign new royalty agreements with the Chilean government.

SQM was paying 6.667 percent and now must pay a base of 20 percent. The payments are on a sliding scale and top out at 40 percent if the price hits $25,000/tonne.

They’re also required to sell a portion of their product at a below market price to local Chilean entities to promote value-added industries in Chile.

Albemarle signed a similar deal in 2017.

This dramatically changes the economics of Chilean lithium brine production.

By contrast the Ontario mining royalty is a flat 10 percent - with no royalty on the first $10 million
CDN of sales per year for the first three years of the life of a new mine.

With taxes low and lithium prices rising - the economics of Ontario pegmatite have never been more attractive than they are today.

Conclusion

The world is starving for lithium. Global consumption will nearly double by 2025, soaring to 422,000 metric tons - worth $8.4 billion at today’s prices.

We simply won’t achieve that production with brines alone. That’s why pegmatite deposits like those being developed by PWM are so critical.

They have the properties. They have Dr. Julie Selway. They have a smart exploration system. More importantly, they’re moving right now.

Power Metals Corp (TSXV:PWM.V; OTC:PWRMF) has 15,000 meters of drilling planned, budgeted and fully funded for 2018. This includes 6 separate targets at Case Lake.

Each of those drill programs represents a major potential catalyst for the stock.

London – March 20, 2018 - OilPrice.com Market Commentary: The electric car revolution is driving a lithium-ion battery boom that could be worth $67 billion by 2022 - as long as a supply crunch doesn’t choke it to death.

Thankfully, International Battery Metals Ltd. (CSE:IBAT; OTC: RHHNF) is seeking to revolutionize the economics of Lithium extraction.

Traditional solar evaporation technology takes up to 24 months to extract lithium from metal heavy brine. IBAT’s incoming CEO John Burba says he can do it in 24 hours.

Not only that - traditional methods only recover 40 percent of the resource. With their new tech, IBAT can achieve lithium extraction rates of over 90 percent.

Elon Musk even offered $325 million to acquire the CEO’s previous company - which was based on an earlier version of the advanced technology that IBAT’s will use.

A major New York Global Investment Bank valued the same company at 7X that number... at $2.5 billion. Fortunately for investors now, the deal was never completed.

The Lithium Megaboom
We’re witnessing an explosion in global demand for Lithium, and supply isn’t even close to keeping up. That’s why Lithium spot prices have nearly tripled since 2015.

The price per metric ton in Chinese spot markets is up from $6,500 to over $20,000.

Lithium’s wild ride is just beginning. Demand for the metal is set to soar in coming years, and we believe that represents a massive investor opportunity.

Electric car production is expected to increase more than thirtyfold by 2030, hitting 24.4 million in annual vehicle sales - up from under 1 million today.

The Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) 70kWh Model S battery pack contains 63Kg of lithium, equivalent to the amount of lithium in 10,000 cellphones.

The problem? Production capacity is now at a critical juncture. Unfortunately, recovery of Lithium from brine deposits is a painfully slow process.

Traditional solar evaporation technology is an extremely time-intensive process, with a lengthy production cycle that can exceed 18 months.

It takes a minimum of 4 years for an average Lithium brine mine to come online-- and another 3-4 years to reach full capacity.

The total investment in new mines will likely range from $350 billion to $750 billion, according to analysts at researcher Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.

Game Changing Lithium Extraction Technology
International Battery Metals (CSE:IBAT; OTC: RHHNF) will soon have the solution.

The technology that International Battery Metals has contracted to acquire could be a significant key to unlocking $84 billion in lithium brine resources—by making it faster and cheaper to produce.

Lithium is currently produced through a grueling 18-24-month solar evaporation process that entails slowly extracting all other elements from the brine until only lithium remains. The biggest problem with this reality is that the expansion of plants to produce more lithium will be painfully slow and require construction of thousands of acres of new evaporation ponds.

IBAT’s soon-to-be-acquired technology is designed to do the opposite, removing evaporation ponds from the equation.

The proven method will reduce extraction times to as little as 24 hours. Better still - it will improve recovery from roughly 40 percent to over 90 percent of all lithium.

As inventor and incoming CEO John Burba puts it: “Our tech has such a high specificity for lithium that it can directly take the lithium out. Selective Absorption, the core of our process is the only commercially proven technology that can make this claim”.
Instead of going the traditional route of trying to isolate lithium by removing all of those complex ions, the tech removes the Lithium directly.

According to incoming IBAT CEO John Burba, the mastermind of this technology, the process takes the lithium out on a continuous basis.

As the brine goes by, it collects lithium and lets the other impurities continue on and go straight back into the ground. The end-product is a diluted stream of lithium chloride and water that comes out as the brine goes by.

The whole extraction process takes 24 hours, so it would mean the end of 18-24- month residencies. That’s a game changer for lithium. Burba says: “Once we have proved our patent pending fourth-generation technology, we will be able to expand production in a fraction of the time it will take for solar evaporation. This ability will be critical to being able to keep up with the expected demand curve for battery grade lithium products”.

Unlocking $84 Billion Worth Of Lithium Lithium brine deposits are estimated to contain 66 percent of the world’s 14 million metric tonnes (MT) of Lithium. That’s Lithium worth $84 billion at current prices.

With their soon-to-be acquired extraction breakthrough, International Battery Metals (CSE:IBAT; OTC: RHHNF) could be the fastest-producing lithium company in the world.

Faster means more efficient and cost effective.

While new entrants are struggling with costs, IBAT’s technology could put it on cost par with the Big 3 lithium producers—the lowest-cost producers right now.

That includes Albemarle Corp (NYSE:ALB), Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (NYSE:SQM) and FMC (NYSE:FMC).

But, there’s a bigger opportunity than just production.

If proved up this technology could be highly disruptive, offering one of the fastest-to- production Lithium brine extraction solutions out there.

How This Play Was Almost Taken Off The Market
Investors came very close to missing out John Burba’s genius entirely when his previous company was nearly acquired in 2014.

Tesla Motors will use up the entire world’s supply of battery-grade lithium when it hits annual production of 500K Model 3s in its Nevada Gigafactory later in 2018.

Elon Musk offered $325 million for Burba’s earlier start-up - the lithium extraction company Simbol Materials, in an effort to bolster his supply.

Musk wrote, "this is a compelling opportunity to combine two innovative companies on a mission to advance clean and sustainable energy technologies worldwide.”

A Veteran Team Of Lithium PioneersInventor John Burba—a veteran in lithium extraction—is the incoming IBAT (CSE:IBAT; OTC: RHHNF) Chairman and CEO. He’s an extraction tech pioneer, and he is bringing a Dream Team of engineering experts to further enhance the new extraction technology that IBAT is acquiring.

IBAT’s new to-be-acquired technology is actually based on tech that Burba co-invented and sold in the 1990s when he was a leading technologist at lithium giant FMC.

FMC has been using that same tech for nearly 20 years, and it’s responsible for making some of the purest primary lithium carbonate in the world.
It’s even earned its own lithium label: “FMC-grade” carbonate.

Burba has since made dramatic advancements on the core technology. This has yielded significant improvements in terms of extraction efficiency, cost and purity.

Robert Miller will be working with IBAT on fund raising efforts.
Miller has raised over $500 million in early-stage capital and taken 7 companies public - with listings including both NASDAQ and AMEX.
He’s also founder of one gold-mining company Crystallex.

Burba has already revolutionized lithium processing once. With his new tag team, he has the potential to do it again - unlocking over $84 billion worth of lithium.

Globally, demand for lithium is skyrocketing. With battery demand forecast to rise 7.7 percent to $120 billion already in 2019, this is a market on the move.

What the world needs right now is plentiful supply of high-grade lithium to power that growth, and it won’t wait 12-24 months for evaporating ponds.

With electric vehicles rapidly soaring in popularity, the lithium battery market could be at $46 billion by 2022.

The technology to be acquired by International Battery Metals (CSE:IBAT; OTC: RHHNF) could be a game changer. It could allow extraction of over 90 percent of the metal from lithium brine continuously with a very small environmental foot print. Additionally, extraction units can be replicated for resource expansion or new resources in a fraction of the time it will take to expand or reproduce solar evaporation plants.
