Predictive Oncology (NASDAQ: POAI), a knowledge-driven company focused on applying artificial intelligence (“AI”) to personalized medicine and drug discovery, announced Q1 2020 financial results and business highlights (http://ibn.fm/mFwpq) as well as receipt of cash proceeds of $2.2 million from exercise of warrants (http://ibn.fm/2n6x5).
“[POAI] improved our liquidity position and streamlined our capital structure with the conversion of a $2.1 million convertible note, previously held by me, to newly issued equity,” said POAI CEO Dr. Carl Schwartz. “This action demonstrates my confidence in the commercial viability of our work, and when combined with the additional capital we raised through an equity offering, provides us with the cash runway to fund key clinical, regulatory and operational milestones for the next several quarters. In addition, we have significantly reduced the corporate structure of our Skyline Medical business to enable it to operate independently as we consider strategic alternatives for this business.”
According to Predictive Oncology’s report, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, company revenues increased to $295,943 compared with $255,241 for the first quarter of 2019. Gross margins remained strong at 69% for the same period, compared with 71% in the 2019 period. Other Q1 highlights included the following:
Continued initial study to sequence ovarian tumors and validate “reach-back” process; study is on schedule to be completed Q3 2020
Signed LOI to acquire Quantitative Medicine, a biomedical analytics and computational biology company; closed early July Q3 2020
Signed a term sheet to acquire both BioDtech and Soluble Therapeutics and its HSC(TM) Technology; closed in Q2 2020
In addition, POAI announced the closing of a previously announced transaction resulting in gross cash proceeds of approximately $2.2 million paid to the company, prior to deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses, through the exercise of certain existing warrants by several holders to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,396,826 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.575 per share. The shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the existing warrants are registered for resale pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1.
In consideration for the immediate exercise of the existing warrants for cash, the exercising holders received new unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,396,826 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share with an exercise period of five and one-half years from the issuing date. Predictive Oncology plans to use these funds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
POAI is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through the company’s Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (“PDx”) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a road map to help individualize therapy. In addition, the company is utilizing artificial intelligence and its proprietary database of over 150,000 cancer cases tumors to build AI-driven models of tumor drug response to improve outcomes for the patients of today and tomorrow

National Storm Recovery Inc. (NSRI) Strong Presence in Environmentally Friendly Gardening Space
-New National Gardening Survey shows Americans choosing to garden in ways that benefit environment, wildlife
-1 million American adults converted part of their lawns to natural/wildflower landscape
-Strategic acquisition positions NSRI as “The Sustainable Green Team”
As growing numbers of people take up gardening and yard work during the worldwide pandemic (http://ibn.fm/0fLLD), a recent study shows that Americans are choosing to garden in ways that benefit the environment and wildlife. National Storm Recovery (OTC: NSRI), a leading provider of environmentally beneficial solutions for mulch products as well as tree and storm waste disposal, is committed to creating a Sustainable Green Team approach and stands to benefit from the heightened awareness of sustainability.
“The new National Gardening Survey shows people across America are purposefully planting for wildlife, making a conservation difference where they live and advancing the wildlife gardening movement,” said senior director of Garden for Wildlife Mary Phillips (http://ibn.fm/o2jET). “At the National Wildlife Federation, we hope even more people will find solace in wildlife gardening and plant with purpose, creating eco-friendly green space to relax, rejuvenate and get some much-needed outdoor time during these unprecedented times. While millions invite butterflies, birds and bees to their yards by replacing lawn with native plants, smaller habitat oases can also be created in backyards, porches, patios or even windowsills.”
According to the 2020 National Gardening Survey, conducted by the National Garden Association and the University of New Hampshire Survey Center on behalf of the National Wildlife Federation, one in four (more than 64 million American adults) purchased a plant because it was beneficial to birds, bees or butterflies; one in seven Americans (14%) purchased plants native to where they lived; and 23.1 million (9%) of American adults converted at least a portion of their lawns to natural/wildflower landscape.
This trend bodes well for NSRI. In operation for more than four decades, National Storm Recovery made a strong move into the yard and gardening space with its recent acquisition of Ohio-based Mulch Manufacturing, a 35-year-old industry leader and innovator. “This strategic acquisition has positioned us as The Sustainable Green Team,” said NSRI CEO Tony Raynor (http://ibn.fm/WMEVb), as both companies share a deep dedication to offering environmentally friendly products and services.
“This business combination has created an industry power house and, with our combined strengths, puts us in an ideal position to increase our sales and resulting margins, as our combined operations benefit from the resulting vertical integration and economies of scale,” noted Mulch Manufacturer CEO Ralph Spencer. “Not only does this transaction make good economic sense, but we both share the same vision and commitment of providing environmentally friendly products to the public. . . . The importance of our shared belief that we are ‘stewards of the environment’ should not be understated.
In addition to manufacturing, packaging and sales of next-generation, environmentally friendly mulch products, National Storm Recovery Inc. provides tree services, debris hauling and removal, and bio-mass recycling. Based in Florida, NSRI serves governmental, residential and commercial customers.

The Movie Studio Inc. (MVES) Focused on Growth-by-Acquisition Strategy in Emerging Multibillion VoD Industry
-Forecasts for VoD space range from $80 billion to more than $120 billion by 2025
-Video on demand becoming part of daily viewing habits for everyone, says Yahoo Finance
-MVES committed to changing the way independent motion pictures are made, distributed
With forecasts for the video on demand (“VoD”) market reaching anywhere from $80 billion (http://ibn.fm/ayjRx) to $120.91 billion (http://ibn.fm/jH9e7) by 2025, it seems clear that The Movie Studio (MVES) is in exactly the right place at the right time. The vertically integrated motion-picture production company is focused on acquiring, developing, producing and distributing independent motion-picture content for worldwide consumption via subscription and advertiser video on demand (“SVOD/AVOD”), over the top (“OTT”) platforms, foreign sales and various media devices.
A recent Yahoo Finance article reported that “video on demand is becoming a part of daily viewing habits for everyone as they can stream or download content from an online source or a traditional TV package” providing “better control over what to watch, how to watch and where to watch.” Summarizing an Infinium Global Research report, the article noted that “in 2018, there were 5.9 billion mobile subscriptions worldwide. This is set to touch 8 billion by 2025.”
The article attributed as least a portion of the spiking VoD numbers to the swiftly growing use of smartphones. “Currently, there are 5.11 billion unique mobile users in the world, which increased by 100 million from 2018,” the article states. “In addition, there were 4.39 billion internet users in 2019, with an increase of 366 million (9%) from January 2018. Countries such as China and India are at the forefront of driving the growth of mobile phones and also have the highest average monthly mobile data consumption per smartphone. Furthermore, the growing trend of binge-watching on Netflix, Prime Video, Hotstar, Eros Now, Viu, and other video streaming services among the youngsters are driving the growth of the VoD market.”
A Mordor Intelligence report noted that “VoD offers a wide array of video programs that include entertainment, films, sports, and educational programs. Although VoD was initially in demand for movie access, with the changing customer preferences boosting the demand for TV programs and other content, VoD service providers had to expand their offerings to other content programmers.”
Keenly aware of the vast potential in the VoD space, The Movie Studio is working to establish its own OTT VOD platform designed to integrate both its own and aggregated feature film projects, television programming and other media intellectual properties. The company’s growth-by-acquisition strategy includes purchasing legacy film libraries, upgrading acquired films to 4K resolution and remonetizing with “new” film content on popular VOD streaming platforms across the internet, strategic partnerships and media content alignment with other OTT platforms, and the production of its own micro-budget, motion-picture content.
Based in Florida, MVES continues to focus on changing the way independent motion pictures are made and distributed. For investors, the potential for significant ROI exists as the commercial VOD (video on demand) technology owned by the company is an efficient means of distribution. With the aim of increasing overall revenues for all parties in the motion picture production and distribution channels, the Movie Studio is disrupting traditional media content delivery systems with its digital business model of motion picture distribution.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) Eyes Debt Freedom in 2020
Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), the leading uranium producer in the United States, is taking significant strides to reduce debt while moving forward on the path to debt freedom. A recent article quoted Energy Fuels’ president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers on this initiative, stating, “Energy Fuels is proud to announce that we are paying off half of our debt on July 14, 2020, and that we expect to become debt free by the end of 2020. We are proactively managing our remaining debt to ensure we have the ability to pay it off on our own timing and terms and with minimal disruption. We believe it makes sense to redeem half of the Debentures now because the U.S.-Canada exchange rate is favorable, we have sufficient cash available, and we will avoid approximately US$350,000 in interest payments in 2020 by doing so. We will address the remaining Cdn$10,430,000 balance over the next several months when we think the timing is most appropriate.”

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) Set to Benefit from Rising Interest in REE Space
Domestic REEs increasingly in demand for use in critical modern technologies, to decrease reliance on China
UUUU announced earlier this year it is preparing to enter REE sector
Energy Fuels’ fully licensed and constructed White Mesa Mill could be key player in producing country’s own REE supply
Increasingly in demand, rare earth elements (“REEs”) — and where they come from — have becoming a hot topic recently (http://ibn.fm/0Q6is). Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), the largest uranium producer in the United States and the leading conventional producer of vanadium, is in an ideal position to leverage that rising interest as the company prepares to enter the REE sector.
“[REEs are] an awfully hot topic right now for two reasons,” reports a recent “Forbes” article. “First, they’re increasingly in demand for critical modern technologies, ranging from computer hard drives and cell phones, to new-tech applications such as batteries for EVs and clean power storage, to critical defense items such as jet engines and lasers.
“Second,” the article continues, “supply is currently dominated by China (for mining alone, for example, China has 80% market share). China has cut off supplies to countries before, and just last year threatened to do so again, in retaliation against the trade war with America.”
The article, titled “For Near-Term U.S. Decoupling From China For Rare Earth Elements, Options Are Limited — But They’re Out There,” notes that a lot of people are focused on getting the United States in a more stable situation in terms of its supply of rare earth elements. Currently, the country relies heavily on China for its supply of the valuable elements.
In part, that desire has been sparked because of a recent warning Chinese President Xi Jinping that he might ban exports of REEs to the U.S. And second, the current COVID-19 pandemic has caused many companies to take a closer look at ways to decrease their reliance on China for essential items, not just REEs, in their global supply chains.
Earlier this year, Energy Fuels announced its entry into the REE space. The company is confident that its fully licensed and constructed White Mesa Mill, which is the only uranium and vanadium mill in operation in the country today, could be a key player in re-establishing the country’s ability to produce its own supply of REEs.
UUUU chose to enter the REE industry after an intense, months-long review and testing period. The intense due diligence process included discussions with technical experts and the U.S. government, which is actively seeking a domestic source of REE minerals, which it uses for national defense. As part of this effort, President Donald J. Trump issued a series of five presidential determinations declaring domestic REE production essential to national defense.
Based in Lakewood, Colorado, Energy Fuels holds three of America’s key uranium production centers: the Nichols Ranch (“ISR”) project in Wyoming, the Alta Mesa ISR Project in Texas and the White Mesa Mill in Utah – the only conventional uranium mill operating in the United States today with a licensed capacity of more than 8 million pounds of U3O8 per year. With an asset portfolio that boasts more uranium production facilities, in-ground resources, production capacity and experienced personnel than any other producer, Energy Fuels is in a unique position to maintain its position as the leading producer of uranium in an era of viable transformation of the U.S. nuclear industry.

-BFGC recently completed 25-hole drill program covering 12,520 feet (3,816 meters), including a 360-foot interval (110 meters) averaging 0.41 g gold/t
With the price of gold climbing and now exceeding $1,800 an ounce, Bullfrog Gold (OTCQB: BFGC) (CSE: BFG) (FSE: 11B) is starting to glitter in investors’ eyes even more. The company recently completed a drill program at its Nevada Project in the Bullfrog Gold District with encouraging results. Most of the drilling was in the Mystery Hill area where thick intervals of gold mineralization were intercepted. As assay results continue to come in, Bullfrog is hoping that the property, which produced 2.3 million ounces from 1989 to 1999, has more to offer. The company’s management team, with well over a century of combined industry experience, may be just the one to unearth any hidden treasure. The company currently has a NI 43-101 measured and indicated resource of 525,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.02 g gold/t within pit plans based on a gold price of $1,200/ounce and a 72% heap leach recovery from a conventionally crushed size of minus 3/8-ich. Recent column leach tests on four bulk samples sized at minus 1/16-inch achieved an averaged gold recovery of 85%.
The Bullfrog project comprises 2,125 hectares (5,250 acres) of land with significant infrastructure about four miles west of Beatty, Nevada (around 125 northwest of Las Vegas). Important pit expansion and exploration targets include Mystery Hill, which is adjacent to the Bullfrog pit, Montgomery-Shoshone and Paradise Ridge. Bullfrog also obtained a large database from previous owner Barrick Bullfrog Inc. , which includes detailed information on 250,000 meters (155 miles) of drilling in 1,262 holes in the area.
In June, Bullfrog completed a 25-hole drill program that covered a total of 12,520 feet (3,816 meters), an expansion of its earlier plan to drill 9,000 feet in 17 holes. To date, results from the project’s Mystery Hill deposit include several thick mineral intervals above the applied cutoff grade of 0.2 g/t and summarized below with assays in grams of gold per tonne.
BH-20-6: 110 meters averaging 0.41 g/t, including 26 meters of 0.91 g/t
BH-20-9: 91 meters averaging 0.33 g/tand an upper interval of 6 meters averaging 0.53 g/t at 23 meters
BH-20-7 intersected 8 meters of 3.22 g/t starting at 46 meters
BH-20-9 had three significant intercepts plus 91 meters of 0.33 g/t starting at 104 meters
BH-20-4: 110 feet averaging 0.274 g/t
BH-20-5: 110 feet averaging 0.58 g/t
It is very important to note that the leach test recovery on the Mystery Hill bulk sample sized at -1/16-inch was 91% compared to an 83% gold recovery from a -3/8-inch size.
Results from five holes in Mystery Hill were released on July 7, 2020. Assays from three holes in the Montgomery-Shoshone (“MS”) deposit, two holes in the new Paradise Ridge target and one hole in the Mystery Hill are expected before mid-July.
Bullfrog is fielding a management team — Alan Lindsay, David Beling and Kjeld Thygesen — that knows how to make the best of these grade and intercept-length metrics. Lindsay, developer and founder of several public companies, is chairman and brings over 42 years of business experience, including 26 years in the mining industry. Beling is president and CEO. He has more than 55 years corporate and project experience with major and junior companies, and has engineered or managed 12 open pit mines, 9 underground mines and 14 process plants. Since 1981, he has sat on the boards of 14 U.S. and Canadian mining companies. A BFGC director, Thygesen has experience stretching over 48 years, including stints in mining research and investment management for James Capel & Co. and N M Rothschild, two prominent financial entities.

Trxade Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEDS) Invigorates Investors with Affirmative Presentation
-Uplists to NASDAQ
-Added as component of Russell MicroCap Index
-Grew revenues 94% in 2019
-Added 3,200 pharmacies in 2019
-Total pharmacies on marketplace now number 11,400
Investors in Trxade Group (NASDAQ: MEDS) have received significant positive news regarding revenues and expansion. Revenues are up, and so too are earnings, as the company’s pharmaceutical platform gains in popularity. On average, every day in 2019, some eight or nine new pharmacies signed up to use Trxade’s services. All this and more came out in a recent online presentation featuring CEO Suren Ajjarapu. The presentation covered various aspects of the company’s operations, starting with a recap of major milestones (http://ibn.fm/jYpNI).
Founded in 2010 by Ajjarapu along with MEDS COO and president Prashant Patel, the Trxade Group spent its first three years working on the technology that would underlie its innovative pharmaceutical platform. Dedicated and passionate, Ajjarapu and Patel bootstrapped early development with some $5.5M of their own funds. Their efforts began to bear fruit in 2013, when the first client came aboard. Not resting on its laurels, the company launched a second service that year — a highly structured single platform — for pharmaceutical distributors to make sourcing supplies easier.
In 2014, the company’s progress continued with two major achievements. First, Trxade went public and began trading under the ticker symbol TRXD. And it also brought a new product — RxGuru — to market. RxGuru is a search tool for pharmaceutical prices. By 2017, the company’s more extensive product line and increased visibility attained by listing publicly began to pay off. The company also had its first quarter of profitability that year. Growth continued in 2018, during which Trxade acquired Community Specialty Pharmacy, an accredited independent retail pharmacy with a focus on specialty medications, and launched Delivmeds.com, a consumer-based app to facilitate delivery of pharmaceutical products.
In 2019, Trxade expanded the services offered by its drug-procurement marketplace when it acquired the telemedicine and telehealth platform operated by Bonum Health. In February 2020, it uplisted to NASDAQ and began trading under the stock symbol MEDS (http://ibn.fm/hmT54). And in June, the company received word its stock had been added to the Russell MicroCap Index, a signal honor likely to increase investor interest (http://ibn.fm/BcQY5).
The U.S. pharmaceutical market is an extensive network of pharmacies, drug companies and intermediate operators. Every year these entities create, distribute and sell $330 billion worth of supplies to the public. Historically diverse and heterogeneous, the industry presently includes around 65,000 pharmacies plus hundreds of suppliers licensed by various states. Just over one-third of these — about 24,000 — are independently run (not a branch of some large chain), but together they amass formidable buying power, representing approximately approximately $90 billion, or 20% of all drug purchases.
This vast sprawling behemoth is riddled with inefficiencies, however, with two major market frictions standing out. Middlemen, such as large pharmacy benefit managers, wholesalers and retail chains, operate in a way that stifles competition. Consequently, they capture significant excess margins, for which consumers ultimately pay. Moreover, pricing in the market is unpredictable. Suppliers, especially the largest three wholesalers — AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Cardinal Health and McKesson Corporation — often reprice and restock inventory on a daily basis, resulting in one price today and another tomorrow.
The Trxade platform can smooth these frictions out. Its trading tools allow independent pharmacies to analyze up-to-the-minute supply and pricing on a cost-effective basis. In addition, with all participants having access to the latest prices, transparency increases. Independent pharmacists no longer have to spend time trying to get the best deals for their businesses. It all represents a strong incentive for participation, and a reason for the company’s continued growth.

SRAX Inc.’s (NASDAQ: SRAX) Sequire sees $2.5M in Q2 2020 Sales
-SRAX’s investor intelligence platform Sequire announces that Q2 2020 sales exceeded $2.5 million
-The platform has seen customer numbers swell to over 75 publicly listed companies, rising from 59 at start of year
-SRAX also announced its raise of $13 million through the sale of convertible debentures, equity warrants
-While also settling an outstanding secured term loan, proceeds from raise will be used to fuel Sequire’s rapid expansion plans
SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing pioneer focused on providing consumer data management services, announced that its investor intelligence platform, Sequire, has shown significant growth in the second quarter with sales exceeding $2.5 million (http://ibn.fm/IqJdp). Launched in its rebranded format during SRAX’s first quarter earnings announcement, Sequire has witnessed a sharp increase in customer interest in recent months, growing its client base to over 75 publicly traded companies in the US and Canada, with an aggregate of over 500,000 unique shareholders. The platform, which assists its clients in tracking and interacting with their shareholders, has rapidly become an essential digital tool for equity issuers seeking to broaden their shareholders’ registers during a largely unprecedented time in global markets.
SRAX also seized the opportunity to announce that it had raised $13 million through the sale of convertible debentures and equity warrants (http://ibn.fm/5MTOc), with the proceeds of the capital-raising exercise to be used to fund Sequire’s rapid growth. With client numbers growing by a remarkable 27% over the first six months of the year, the investor intelligence platform has seen its ability to better understand which types of investors are willing to buy different stocks become increasingly defined, thereby enabling Sequire to better serve its clients.
“On Thursday, we announced a capital raise of $13M, which we will use in part to fund the rapid expansion of Sequire,” said SRAX CEO and founder Christopher Miglino. “Our clients have seen notable results from the platform and its related services. We’ve also seen a significant increase in the number of clients on the platform with Q2 sales hitting over $2.5M and an additional $3M in the pipeline, with a very high probability of closing in Q3.”
Sequire has launched a number of new initiatives over the past few weeks so as to broaden its overall service offering to its corporate customers. In addition to its revolutionary ‘Stocks for Ads’ initiative (http://ibn.fm/dbdrH), which enables companies to subscribe for Sequire’s services and pay for media campaigns in exchange for stock, thus allowing them to conserve their cash reserves at an economically tumultuous time – the company has also recently introduced its Virtual Roadshow feature (http://ibn.fm/rF1WP).
With companies unable to carry out their traditional investor relations agendas, digital exchanges with investors have increasingly become a priority for corporate management teams. The Virtual Roadshow feature allows companies to host video and audio meetings with both new investors and existing shareholders, while also allowing them to track their meeting attendees’ investments following the event. With investors progressively resorting to digital means to research and interact with new investment opportunities, Sequire and its diverse portfolio of services appear to be in greater demand than ever before.

The Movie Studio Inc. (MVES) Leverages First-Mover Strategies in Evolving VOD Space
-MVES CEO highlights growth of VOD and company’s new disruptive strategies
-Industry experiencing massive shifts as result of theatre closings, productions being released straight to VOD/DVD
-MVES’s unique MovieSodes interactive app increases engagement by allowing users to view content in episodes, send audition clips to producers
With nearly every sector experiencing negative impacts as a result of events related to COVID-19, Video on Demand (“VOD”) is one space that has benefited from the unprecedented state of the economy. One rising industry player, The Movie Studio Inc. (OTC: MVES), a vertically integrated motion picture production and distribution company, recently revealed its progressive strategy that aims to disrupt the industry in stride with major players like Disney and Viacom. With a combination of proven strategies and innovative ideas, MVES is positioned to make impressive gains as it continues to engage in the acquisition, development, production and distribution of independent motion picture content for worldwide consumption.
With world events altering consumer habits and preferences, the industry has experienced massive shifts as a result of theatre closings as well as changes in the distribution model, such as Universal’s recent release of its “Trolls” film straight to VOD. “We’re very fortunate that when the pandemic came around people were sheltered in place and they were digesting content more frequently and more robustly even in genres that they generally didn’t visit,” stated MVES founder, president and CEO Gordon Scott Venters In a recent interview (http://ibn.fm/xd9qJ). Disclosing his thoughts on the changing landscape of the VOD industry, Venters noted, “Right in the midst of the pandemic on March 17, 2020, Tubi was bought by Fox/Disney for $440 million. On the coattails the same day, you had Pluto Television bought by Viacom for $330 million.
“Those giant media companies wouldn’t have spent that capital unless they felt that the consumer ingestion of content was going to accelerate at a super-fast rate.”
Along with time-tested and proven growth strategies such as strategic acquisitions, MVES is also integrating social media and consumer approaches in the promotion and distribution of its upcoming films. MVES’s MovieSodes feature, available on its widely-distributed app, features partial distribution of films over an extended time period through the release of separate episodes. In addition to creating an extended buzz around the film, the feature also allows users to upload a video clip to be sent to producers for consideration in upcoming productions.
“This is part of our business model that has never entered the VOD space where people want to be in the motion picture industry and, of course, that has been held captive for a long time by the studio configuration,” Venters explained. “You can click on what’s called our “Audition Submission” button when the model is completed, upload a video clip of yourself and send it to our producers for consideration in our upcoming feature films. We’re going to fracture motion picture manufacturing and just shoot on the weekends where we can be inventive by capturing short clips of content.
“Over 10 weeks, we smash that content together and end up with a feature film for global distribution. It also allows the individual that would want to participate in a feature film the ability to actually capture and get involved with the feature film while it’s being manufactured,” he concluded.
MVES is a first-mover digital disrupter leveraging the expanding VOD sector with a unique business model that could command significant market share. With the consumption of VOD content increasing coupled with the closure of movie theater destinations and other forms of on-site entertainment, the company anticipates that the upward trend will continue in the long term.
With a unique business model capitalizing on the increasing global demand for streaming entertainment content, MVES has the potential to emerge as a unique brand in the industry, realizing high returns on investment as it continues to leverage the changing landscape of video-based entertainment.

ISW Holdings (ISWH) Ready for Coming Crypto-Mining Boom
-As price of crypto climbs, crypto mining equipment soon to be in high demand
-People turning to crypto as governments expand money supply to keep economy moving
-ISWH implementing innovative services, products to meet demand of changing world
International Spirits & Wellness Holdings (OTC: ISWH) (“ISW Holdings”) is focused on growing businesses in multiple sectors; one of the most promising is crypto mining. In a rapidly changing industry, ISWH works to meet consumer demand with turnkey solutions. With change as the new norm for 2020, crypto mining equipment appears to be making its way back into high demand.
As evidence of the company’s commitment to the space, ISWH has entered into a joint venture with Bit5ive LLC, a global leader in cryptocurrency mining. Since mid-March, Bitcoin has appreciated 125% and Ethereum as much as 400% (http://ibn.fm/iWW6x). As the price of crypto climbs, the need for crypto mining equipment should follow suit. When the prices of crypto bottomed out in 2017, the production of machines stopped, and existing machines were repurposed or destroyed. With the current need for crypto mining, ISWH and Bit5ive are positioned to benefit from that demand.
As governments and central banks expand money supply in order to keep the economy moving and fund stimulus efforts to battle the economic impact of COVID-19, people are turning to crypto. The industry is seeing the beginning of a familiar cycle that leads to a higher demand of mining equipment.
Bit5ive is making a strong name for itself as one of the largest U.S.-based companies in the crypto-mining industry. The company produces and distributes POD5 and Power Skid 2.5, infrastructure for crypto-mining hardware. The majority of crypto-mining data centers are not located in the United States, which gives the company an added advantage.
“This new joint-venture agreement enables us to collaborate with the experienced team at Bit5ive to innovate the infrastructure needed to run profitable, efficient crypto mining projects, and to take advantage of the incredible growth projected for the crypto market,” said ISWH president and chairman Alonzo Pierce stated (http://ibn.fm/emz1m).
ISWH’s mission is to implement innovative services and products that meet the demand of a changing world. The joint venture with Bit5ive appears to be falling right in line with this mission. Together Bit5ive and ISWH are standing at the starting line ready to take off with the next boom.
At the same time, ISWH has also partnered with Proceso LLC. Proceso is building secure crypto-mining data centers in the U.S. that use renewable energy solutions. This aligns the company with Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”), which also provides essential access to capital support (http://ibn.fm/WrJMk).
ISWH is working to create companies and partnerships in disruptive industries. This includes crypto, health care, wellness, supply chain management, adult beverages and more.

PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) Virtual Transaction Platform Now Available via CARco to Nationwide Network of Auto Dealers
-CARco will promote PowerBand’s cloud-based auto trading platform to its network of insurance entities, with reach into thousands of car dealerships across the U.S.
-Users will also be able to access CARco and D&P vehicle protection products directly on PowerBand’s platform
-PowerBand is working on integrating credit financing agreements from U.S. financial institutions into its platform to allow users access to financing and leasing solutions
PowerBand Solutions (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA), a provider of auction and finance portal software tools that deliver increased sales, efficiencies and profitability to customers, announced that Comprehensive Auto Resources Company, Inc. (CARco) will promote PowerBand’s virtual transaction platform to auto dealerships throughout the United States (http://ibn.fm/hCkJA).
CARco, a leading administrator of automotive protection products, joins Texas-based D&P Holdings, Inc., which has already partnered with PowerBand, to offer consumers a wide range of vehicle protection products and warranties via PowerBand’s platform. The innovative cloud-based platform makes buying, selling, leasing and trading cars and trucks as easy as purchasing a product on Amazon. PowerBand’s platform benefits key stakeholders in the automotive retail sector, including funders, OEMs and rental companies, by removing unnecessary third parties and their fees from sales transactions.
Following the latest deals, consumers using the PowerBand platform to buy, lease, sell and trade vehicles on from their smart phones and other digital devices, will also have access to CARco and D&P vehicle protection products.
“We believe PowerBand is offering a ground-breaking way for consumers and dealers to buy, sell, lease and trade vehicles,” said CARco President and CEO Charlie Caronia. “Obtaining vehicle protection products through PowerBand’s cloud-based platform is also an important innovation, particularly during this pandemic, and I believe both dealers and insurance agents will see this as a powerful, consumer-friendly tool.”
Based in Exton, Pennsylvania, CARco was founded in 2004 to offer automotive dealers and consumers a wide array of vehicle protection and warranty products. As a managing general insurance agency, CARco works with six national insurance companies and more than 1,000 agents, to provide service to thousands of auto dealerships nationwide. CARco administers more than 100,000 new vehicle protection products on a monthly basis in the United States.
“Charlie Caronia and CARco are respected leaders in the automotive warranty business and we are delighted they are joining D&P on the PowerBand platform,” said PowerBand CEO Kelly Jennings. “Together, we will be able to offer consumers and dealers a wide array of automotive vehicle protection and insurance products, simply by using a smart phone or tablet.”
D&P is one of the United States’ largest administrators of automotive warranty and insurance products, directly working with more than 850 dealerships in all 50 states. It is the managing general agency for The Hanover Insurance Group, which has a $3.8-billlion market valuation.
The latest announcements came as PowerBand is preparing to launch its first lease originations, via MUSA Auto Finance, LLC, the company’s leasing subsidiary that provides consumers and auto dealers with access to extensive funding opportunities from national financial institutions and the most advanced digital leasing solutions in the market. The technology can take an application, calculate the lease, auto-decision the application, provide approvals to dealer partners and accurately prefill lease contracts. The entire process happens in just a few seconds, making it significantly easier for users of of PowerBand’s platform and integrated Driveway app to get approvals for financing and leasing.
The automotive industry has been in a state of flux, with every aspect experiencing disruption, from driverless vehicles to artificial intelligence. Customer expectations for the market have been raised as technological innovations progress. As more customers begin to expect the same seamless digital service they receive in other retail markets, the automotive industry must adapt to remain competitive and protect profits as well as finance and insurance margins. To do so, retailers must find opportunities to leverage the digital-oriented nature of buyers and their desire for advanced technology.
Additionally, social distancing rules imposed by the ongoing pandemic have increased this already significant demand for online alternatives. According to the ‘Digital Commerce 360 Online Vehicle Shopper 2019’ survey, conducted among 1,089 buyers, 49% are willing to purchase a new vehicle entirely online (http://ibn.fm/j6RyW). According to Frost & Sullivan, consumers may purchase as many as 1.3 million vehicles annually online as soon as 2035 (http://ibn.fm/jhJpk). And nearly 90% of Americans report they dislike the car dealership experience, noting they feel anxious or uncomfortable in dealership settings.
PowerBand is positioned to capitalize on these trends by disrupting the antiquated business model of the automotive industry, replacing distrust and confusion with transparency, access to information and ease of use.

Pure Extract Technologies Inc. Set to Become Dominant Extraction Company in Growing Mushroom Space
-Functional mushrooms seeing rise in popularity due to health benefits, alternative medicine options
-Predictions show global medicinal mushroom market growing annually by $13.88 billion
-Pure Extracts is ideally positioned to enter the space as experienced producer
Used for centuries for their impressive medicinal properties and health benefits, functional mushrooms are enjoying a rise in popularity, due at least in part to increased research and study of the natural fungi as well as trends toward alternative natural health options. Pure Extract Technologies, a private, plant-based extraction company with a new vertical in functional mushrooms, is focused on becoming the dominant extraction company in the industry and a leader in the rapid development and commercialization of functional mushroom products.
In an article titled “Here’s What You Need to Know About Functional Mushroom,” Stephanie Ferrari, a Massachusetts-based registered dietitian, says that there is deep scientific literature that points to the healing properties of mushrooms, specifically their immune system and cancer-prevention benefits (http://ibn.fm/3EczB). “Research suggests that mushrooms not only strengthen our immune systems but may also be useful in treating certain diseases like asthma, allergies and arthritis due to their anti-inflammatory properties,” she says.
Beyond that, the article notes that “mushrooms are low in calories, high in protein, and good sources of B vitamins, minerals and fiber. . . . Several are considered adaptogens, which means they help us to cope with stress.”
In addition, research published in “Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal,” notes that, for certain types of mushrooms, “an abundance of in vitro evidence exists that elucidates the anticancer immunological mechanisms. Preliminary research in humans is also available and is promising for treatment” (http://ibn.fm/SGEgE).
The functional mushroom industry is among the fastest growing in North America, with forecasts predicting the global medicinal mushroom market will grow annually by $13.88 billion (http://ibn.fm/mwcrf). As the industry transitions from dry biomass to extracts, many companies are unprepared for this new opportunity.
Pure Extracts, on the other hand, is ideally positioned to enter the space as an experienced producer. With a team of qualified experts and cutting-edge extraction technology, the company is set up for long-term strategic distribution and product innovation. Located in Pemberton, British Columbia, the company’s facility is built for EU-GMP certification, which allows for international sales and ensures the production of high-quality, high-purity formulations on a commercial scale.
Further establishing its power in the market, Pure Extracts has signed nondisclosure agreements to explore joint-development endeavors for product launches slated for potential Q4 delivery. The company also inked an advisory agreement with Dr. Alexander MacGregor, founder of Transpharm Canada Inc., the parent company of Toronto Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology, whose facility is a fully compliant Health Canada-licensed, Good Manufacturing Practice manufacturing and testing facility and is a full-service, clinical-development business that provides clinical trial services to biotechnology companies.

Bullfrog Gold Corp. (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) on Tuesday announced assay results from five more of the 25 holes recently drilled at its Bullfrog Project (“Project”).

Among key highlights announced in the update, drilling continued to intercept thick intervals of gold mineralization in the Mystery Hill (“MH”) deposit, including 46 meters averaging 0.30 g gold/t and 24 m of 0.35 g/t. Another hole intersected 14 m at 2.42 g/t in the main Bullfrog vein, including 6 m at 4.89 g/t starting at a depth of 42 m. Most of the thicker, lower grade intercepts are not within previous estimates of measured and indicated resources.

Cybin Corp. is “One to Watch”
-Cybin is a leading Canada-based mushroom life sciences company focused on psychedelic medicines and nutraceutical products
-The company has two operating divisions – Serenity Life Sciences (psychedelic pharmaceutical products) and Natures Journey Inc. (medicinal nutraceutical products)
-Members of Cybin’s experienced management team have collectively run multiple clinical trials and helped facilitate over $1 billion in pharmaceutical sales
-The company recently announced a strategic partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science
-Cybin is currently marketing a range of fungi-based supplements under its Journey brand aimed at breaking into the global non-psychedelic legal supplement market, which is valued at $25 billion annually and growing at a 9% year-over-year rate
-The company has plans to carry out a clinical trial with a new delivery system for its psilocybin-based medications later this year
-Cybin recently entered an amalgamation agreement that is expected to result in the reverse takeover of Clarmin Exploration Inc. by Cybin
-To date, Cybin has raised approximately C$10,400,000 through an initial financing round and its series A financing round
Cybin Corp. is a Canada-based life sciences company focused on the pharmaceutical development of psychedelic products, as well as the functional mushroom market.
The early-stage company boasts an experienced management team featuring industry veterans from pharmaceutical and consumer product backgrounds who have run multiple clinical trials and collectively helped facilitate billions of dollars in product revenues. The team is dedicated to the development of products and protocols within the psychedelic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.
In particular, Cybin aims to further build upon and expand its intellectual property (“IP”) portfolio, which is structured around unique psilocybin delivery mechanisms that target a number of different therapeutic indications. In addition, the company has dedicated itself toward furthering its research and IP within the fields of synthetic compounds, extraction methods, the isolation of chemical compounds, new drug formulations and protocol regimes.
Serenity Life Sciences & Natures Journey Inc.
The company’s business model is centered around its two core subsidiaries, Serenity Life Sciences and Natures Journey Inc., which comprise Cybin’s two-pronged approach toward delivering fungi-derived psychedelic and medicinal products.
Serenity Life Sciences is focused on furthering research and development of psilocybin-based medications. Psilocybin is found in certain species of mushrooms and is a non-habit forming, naturally occurring psychedelic compound. Research into psilocybin has shown positive results for the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, eating disorders, ADHD and other indications.
Natures Journey Inc. operates the Journey brand, which specializes in developing proprietary medicinal mushroom products that target and promote mental wellness, immune boosting detoxification and overall general health and wellbeing.
Partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science
Staying true to its axiom of being a research-first medicinal mushroom life sciences company, Cybin recently announced its entry into a strategic partnership with the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science (“TCPS”), with the goal of furthering its ongoing psilocybin research efforts and expanding Cybin’s psilocybin IP portfolio (http://ibn.fm/sO76n).
“While there is evidence to support psilocybin as a treatment for certain indications, the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science is taking a clinical approach to prove or disprove the safety and efficacy of psilocybin-based microdosing through an open science approach,” Paul Glavine, CEO of Cybin, stated in a news release.
“We are excited to join forces with Cybin and to offer our expertise. A number of firms had approached TCPS, but Cybin demonstrated a superior commitment to high-quality research and integrity in product development. Our high standards for scientific rigor and transparency will find a fitting home within the culture Cybin is cultivating in Canada and abroad,” Thomas Anderson, co-founder of the Toronto Centre for Psychedelic Science, added.
Journey’s Product Monetization & Market Potential for Nutraceutical Supplements
Although Cybin is at the forefront of companies seeking to conduct clinical trials aimed at gaining regulatory approval for psilocybin and other psychedelic products, the company has also placed a great deal of emphasis on generating meaningful revenue from its very outset.
Cybin’s Journey brand has is launching a range of supplements comprised of popular fungi-derived ingredients such as Reishi, Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps. Purported to aid focus and concentration while promoting neurogenesis, Journey’s range of nutraceutical products provides Cybin with a crucial foothold within the non-psychedelic legal supplement market, which is valued at over $25 billion globally and growing at a 9% year-over-year rate.
Pharmaceutical Psychedelics
In addition to the company’s range of non-psychedelic supplements, Cybin has plans to carry out a clinical trial with a new delivery system for its psilocybin-based medications later this year. Ultimately, the company aims to enter into technology transfer agreements with global pharmaceutical companies after phase 1 & phase 2 clinical trials are complete in order to accelerate regulatory approvals in major indications in global markets with entire lifecycle product management.
With products such as psilocybin truffles already legal in nations such as the Netherlands, Jamaica and Bulgaria, Cybin has positioned itself to capitalize on an eventual legalization of psychedelic mushroom-derived products in the future. Working within a regulatory environment with strong similarities to that which dealt with cannabis prior to the industry’s eventual legalization by the Canadian government in 2018, Cybin is laying the groundwork for the moment pharmaceutical psychedelics gain acceptance in North America and abroad.
Amalgamation Agreement and Financing
Cybin recently announced its entry into an amalgamation agreement dated June 26, 2020, with Clarmin Explorations Inc. (TSX.V: CX) and 2762898 Ontario Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Clarmin (http://ibn.fm/uprIC). Completion of the transactions contemplated in the amalgamation agreement will result in the reverse takeover of Clarmin by Cybin.
In connection with the proposed transaction, Cybin plans to complete a “best-efforts” brokered private placement of subscription receipts of Cybin, with a syndicate of agents co-led by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (Stifel GMP) and Eight Capital, to raise a minimum of C$14 million ($10 million) and a maximum of C$21 million ($15 million), with a 15% agents’ option.
To date, Cybin has raised approximately C$10,400,000 through an initial financing round and its series A financing round.

As society deals with increased uncertainty in the post-pandemic world, the potential of cannabis to safely ease stress, suffering and pain as well as spark economic stimulation may change the societal stigma that may still hamper the proliferation of cannabis products (http://ibn.fm/7gRx9).
However, social-distancing orders have changed how cannabis customers behave, leading to an increase in delivery in states where it is legal, including California, Nevada, Oregon and Massachusetts. These regulatory changes regarding the legalization of delivery will change consumer expectations in the industry towards convenience (http://ibn.fm/TJ950).
Quick to seize market opportunities as they arise, SGMD acquired BudCars, a premier cannabis-delivery service, positioning itself to capitalize on this growing trend. BudCars is an online shopping platform for same-day cannabis delivery designed to provide customers with a convenient way to discover and order a wide range of cannabis products, including flowers, edibles, pre-rolled, tinctures, vapes and concentrate from multiple premium brands. The platform currently operates in Sacramento, CA, and has reported astounding success with a Los Angeles hub scheduled to open in July.
Cannabis is a solid sector for Sugarmade. Industrial hemp and hemp-derived products are reporting a steep increase over the recent years, and the trend is expected to continue, with an annual growth rate of 14% through 2022 (http://ibn.fm/saNB3).
SGMD is gearing up to finish the first two quarters of 2020 strong, with robust sales achieved since the beginning of the year. The company recently announced that its BudCars Cannabis Delivery Service amassed 58% month over month sales growth, leading to record-breaking sales numbers (http://ibn.fm/SqkPu). With the current focus on the expansion of non-storefront cannabis delivery and the overall business model that is aligned with the significant trends shaping the cannabis industry, SGMD is poised to maintain its explosive expansion trajectory, offering investors a high-growth investment opportunity.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Cybin Corp. and IntelGenx Corp. to Collaborate in Development of Fast-Acting Psilocybin Film
Cybin Corp., Canada’s premier mushroom life sciences company focused on advancing psychedelic and nutraceutical-based products derived from fungi, today announced its entry into a feasibility agreement with IntelGenx Corp. (OTCQB: IGXT) (TSX-V:IGX) for the development of an orally-dissolving film for the delivery of pharmaceutical-grade psilocybin, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. “We at Cybin are proud to be working with IntelGenx to develop a fast-acting psilocybin film,” Cybin’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jukka Karjalainen, stated in the news release. “Compared to oral psilocybin capsules, which are subject to variable intestinal absorption and high first-pass metabolism in the liver, the systemic bioavailability of orally-dissolving psilocybin film is expected to be quite high. In addition, the dose of psilocybin administered by an orally-dissolving film is expected to be a fraction of what is required in oral capsules. Taken together, these features have the potential to increase both the safety and efficacy of psilocybin when administered in this manner.”
