Winston Digging Away.
The Carrabba portal now being constructed at the site of a historic tunnel, called Tunnel #1. This tunnel will be widened to 12-by-12 ft and rehabilitated. Winston Gold believes that it was last used in the late 1970’s or early 1980’s to access the upper level of the historic Custer workings in order to mine out sections of the vein to the surface.

There is unsurprisingly 100's of AQUAhydrate articles with Wahlberg/Diddy at the helm. We'll collect them (most of them) and post on the Beverage Start-Up News site.
The Alkaline Water Co.,+ AQUAhydrate = Powerhouse Water Start-Up.
"We view the acquisition of AQUAhydrate as extremely synergistic and accretive, and look forward to working closely with new director nominees Ira Tochner from leading investment firm Yucaipa who invested over $27 million in AQUAhydrate and investor Matthew Howison of Emerald Partners; as well as investors Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Mark Wahlberg, who have personally invested over $20 million into the development and growth of AQUAhydrate and brand ambassador Jillian Michaels."

Sunken Spanish galleon has treasure worth as much as $22 billion (2018).

On July 15, a South Korean treasure hunting company called the Shinil Group claimed it found the wreck of a Russian warship, the Dmitrii Donskoi. The ship sank east of the Korean Peninsula more than 100 years prior during a 1905 battle with the Japanese while carrying a cargo of 200 tons of gold bullion, according to Shinil’s claim. The Shinil Group announced the find in a full-page newspaper ad, and also claimed that in 2019 they would distribute dividends worth 10% of the sunken treasure’s value to holders of the Shinil Gold Coin cryptocurrency — available on the newly launched Donskoi International Exchange. The company released a statement two days later that featured photos and video of the shipwreck, including what appeared to be confirmation of the ship’s name painted on the hull.

WTER Annual Revenues
$552 thousand- 2014

$7.0 million – 2016
$12.7 million – 2017
$19.8 million – 2018
$32.2 million – 2019
First Quarter sales $10.2 million from a single product line and they are just now rolling out flavored water – to a market which already knows and loves their plain water. Can it get any better?
Don’t believe a start-up beverage company with a single product line can grow from $500,000 in sales for an entire year, to over $40 Million in 5 Years with minimal advertising?
It’s rare but it can happen and it is happening at the Alkaline Water Company. Simply amazing.
Read it here in the 10Q just released.
https://www.otcmarkets.com/filing/html?id=13579721&guid=9kOIUWrdbx5XNth
Without dissecting the reasons for that type of growth at any start-up beverage company – just know if consumers truly love a product in its initial test market (say Arizona as an example), odds are good that they’ll love it in CA, and Illinois, and NY and FL and then nationally. While odds of any new beverage hitting $10 million in annual sales are slim, the ‘like it here, like it everywhere’ dynamics of the beverage business is what appeals to us the most in this industry.

What’s interesting about the Alkaline Water Co., is while most start-ups begin their journey at small mom-n-pops and then hope to land a national chain, Alkaline88 could be bought at the big chains early on and is just now spreading to the 1000’s and 1000’s mon-n-pops.
In the last six months, they landed in 4,000 new retail locations. They are now up to $100,000 in sales per day, day in and day out. They are now selling more water in just 5 days than they sold in all of their first year of business. This is a true Horatio Alger type success story. An example of David vs. Goliath – that succeded against all odds.

Core Water Raised $39 Million.
To fund their expansion plans, the year before (or same) that they were acquired by Dr. Pepper for $525 million (around six times wholesale sales).
Since Dr. Pepper stated they were expected to realize $90 million in tax benefits in the deal - we can safely assume Core was far from being profitable.
Did Dr Pepper look at Core's financials and think "OMG you guys are burning cash like mad, shouldn't we only be acquiring profitable start-ups?"
No, they ponied up to the bargaining table with near $600 million before one of the other majors beat them to it. The majors don't want profitable companies - they want companies with proven consumer acceptance that they can grow to $1 billion with their established marketing and distribution.
And you can't buy consumer acceptance with celebrity sponsorships or massive advertising. People either like the taste or they don't. Like Jagermeister lol.
Along with brands like Smartwater, LIFE WTR and Essentia, Core is fighting for a share of the increasingly lucrative super-premium water category. According to data from market research group IRI, Core Hydration had over $93 million in multi-outlet plus C-store sales in a 52-week period ending on January 28..

It's good to study the 'private' market of beverage success stories to get an understanding of how they are financed by outside money - though not 'publicly traded' outside money which can be considerably less patient.

Alkaline Water Company (WTER): Diamond In The Rough.
Just saw this on SeekingAlpha and re-posted on our site.
In closing..
In the end, The Alkaline Water Company has been able to become a leader in an emerging niche of the beverage industry. Through prudent financial and operational execution, WTER will be primed to become a multi-billionaire-dollar company. Speculative investors have a chance to get into a strong company on the ground floor. It will not always be smooth sailing; however, I feel strongly that years down the road, WTER’s share price will be much higher than it is now, which will be driven by growth of its market-leading Alkaline88 brand and expansion into hemp-infused beverages.
Disclosure: I/we have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Initiating Coverage.
Ecuador: The Largest Gold Rush in History? Initiating Coverage on Lucky Minerals (LKMNF).
Resource-rich Ecuador has truly been barely touched by modern exploration techniques until the most recently elected President Lenin Moreno began to implement decidedly mining-friendly policies over the past three years.
This isn’t a ‘new-discovery’ gold rush. This is a ‘change in Government’ fueled gold rush, that will make the California gold rush look like child’s play.
The world’s largest mining companies have known for decades that billions in gold, copper, and molybdenum lie below Ecuador’s surface. They just weren’t able to recover it, facing a hostile political environment, including a recently abolished 70% windfall profit tax established in 2009 by Past President Correa.
Up until the late 2018 repeal of the tax, billion-dollar gold mining companies simply said, “Thanks, but no thanks.”
Ecuador is an OPEC nation suffering from $50 oil like all OPEC nations and oil accounts for 40% of its exports. Despite the potential for political interference in the future, we believe this gold rush is here to stay. Ecuador is done suffering. It’s ‘Make Ecuador Great Again.’
Fact: The government in 2015 created the mining ministry and announced plans to promote 36 projects to produce gold, copper, and molybdenum estimated to be worth $200 billion. Near term, Ecuador plans to attract $3.7 billion in mining investments in the next two years, up from $270 million in 2018 and add $826 million to its tax coffers between 2019 and 2021.
IMPORTANTLY, while we recently become bullish on Gold, the opportunity here with Ecuadorian Gold and with Lucky Minerals is not dependent on rising gold prices. It simply has to do with finding Gold. Gold is priced at $1300+ an ounce and the experts agree, Ecuador will have the least expensive Gold recovery costs in the World.
If anything a rising price for Gold will simply act as a double-barreled upward force on the share prices of all 12 of the publicly traded companies listed in our report below that we have uncovered operating there.
During our research, we uncovered Lucky Minerals as the lowest priced and least expensive miner in the country, with a market value of $5 million. May the force be with us. Read our report below.

Consumers Snapping Up Alkaine88® Water at Record Pace.
Nielsen Research Ranks Alkaline88 ® as the Fastest Growing Alkaline Water.
The Alkaline Water Company (WTER) Outpaces Larger Advertised Essentia®, CORE®, AQUAhydrate®, Mount Valley Spring Water™ and 26 Other Better Financed Brands.
The amazing acceptance of Alkaline88® continues to confound its better-funded competitors, landing at the very top of Nielsen’s ranking of Top Alkaline Brands while spending a mere fraction on advertising. It’s a true David vs. Goliath battle to the top-ranked in terms or fast growth – as cream rises to the top without regards to advertising budgets. A true sign of which beverage maker has the best tasting water.
All in all, $1.50 in our opinion the single best entry point into WTER over since we initiated coverage in 2016. You can price and time stamp that!

13 Truckloads of Alkaline88 New Flavored Water hit the Road!
The Alkaline Water Co., (WTER) $1.75. And let the games begin.
This is quite exciting, because as opposed to when Alkaline88 first starting hitting the shelves – facing an unknown and potentially terrifying reception – Alkaline88 proved the skeptics wrong and is now enjoyed by millions ($40 million in wholesale sales, last 4 years) who already know and love the Alkaline88 taste.
This means they can now have their favorite water in their favorite new flavors! How hard of a sell is that we wonder?

Innovus (INNV) Interview in The Silicon Review Magazine.
Nice interview.
http://internetstockreview.com/innovus-innv-in-silicon-review-interview/
Well, this is a first!
We've never replied to a poster (since 2011) but since this about us, versus about the issuer of securities or client, we'll reply this one time JB.
It was a corporate site which contained our corporate brochures. It was outdated, outmoded and hadn't been updated in five years (we've been in business since 1995) so we finally gave it a proper burial.
We have 12 financial sites to provide news for both clients and non-clients. The InternetStockReview.com, the BeverageStartupNews.com, the MarijuanaStockReview.com and the BlockChainInvestorWire.com are currently active.
Please note as we are Investor Relations firm, we cannot reply to posters regarding the issuer of securities as we aren't a broker/dealer or registered as an investment advisor. Our disclaimers are on EVERY report. Nearly every company we report on is either a client, or we would like them to be a client. So impartial we are not!
This is our first and last reply.
We on occasionally find interesting stocks and one (there are many) of our crowning achievements was finding IMMU at $3 before it rose to $26. Prior to our initiating coverage, the shares had fallen from $30 (2001) to $3 (2016) and there were a lot of unhappy shareholders.
After we wrote a report at $3 it almost immediately dropped to $1.79 and looked like it was about to roll over and die, but the rest, as they say, is history. There were 20 million shares short at $3.00 and we all know how smart they can be (at times). Not this time. The total market gain exceeded $4 billion from low to high.
It took patience (two years) but what a ride! Past performance of stocks featured in our various letters is not an indication or even an inkling of future performance of currently featured stocks.
And of course, we've had our share of losers.
