Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: KGS) in Prime Position as Investors Return to ‘Favorite Safe Haven Asset’
-Bloomberg reports that gold is “set to soar”
-Forbes predicts that gold “is likely to reach a major milestone”
-KGS Minerals committed to delivering highest possible value to shareholders
Bloomberg pegged 2020 as a “golden year,” noting that “after one of the most geopolitically charged years in recent memory, gold is now set to soar” (http://ibn.fm/Epv8a) — and that was before the market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Kingman Minerals (TSX.V: KGS), a Canada-based company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in North America, looks to be ideally positioned to benefit from the gold boom as investors start “racing back to their favorite safe haven asset.”
The Bloomberg report, titled “The 6 Most Promising Gold Trends for 2020,” continued by stating that “gold stocks were depressed for years. But as worries of dwindling gold supplies — ‘peak gold’ — and geopolitical uncertainty took root, investors began to bet on a major gold run.”
Bloomberg isn’t the only financial-market organization to report on the shining potential of gold. A July 1, 2020 Forbes article, titled “Gold Prices Are Soaring to the Moon,” reported that “the precious metal, gold, is likely to reach a major milestone and touch the critical $1,800 mark” (http://ibn.fm/5AvVb).
“Gold prices have been rallying since the last quarter of 2018. Since then, it has been recording gains for each quarter,” the article continued. “It is highly likely that gold may continue its momentous run for another few quarters, especially this quarter.” The article went on to note that, with no realistic expectation that a vaccine for COVID-19 will be available before 2021, local shutdowns on a global basis will likely continue to limit economic recovery. “As we move into Autumn, the flu season is only likely to worsen the already complex situation. This means that there are higher chances of strong percentage gains for the gold price in Q3 and Q4.”
Kingman Minerals is focused on taking full advantage of the rising interest — and investments — in gold. Committed to delivering the highest possible value to shareholders, KGS is working to purchase 100% of the properties within its portfolio, which includes two current mining operations: the Mohave Project and the Cadillac East Property. In addition, the company’s unique business model creates significant shareholder value by providing leverage to increases in the price of precious metals, additional growth through the acquisition of new potential exploration targets, and participation in the exploration and expansion success of the historical mines and prospects underlying its current agreements.
Kingman Minerals Ltd. is currently engaged in the business of precious metal mineral exploration for the purpose of acquiring and advancing non-grass-roots mineral properties located in mining friendly jurisdictions of North America. Formerly known as Astorius Resources Ltd., KGS is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in North America. Based in Canada, KGS is committed to sourcing and developing high-quality properties with significant mining potential as part of its strategy of developing a diverse portfolio of low-cost, lifelong assets.

Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) to Capitalize as Nuclear Takes Center Stage
-Nuclear increasingly seen as critical energy in post-pandemic world
-UUUU plays leading role in the U.S. nuclear industry, producing more than one-third of country’s uranium over past 15 years
-Energy Fuels provides investors with compelling growth potential underpinned by industry-leading production assets, robust balance sheet
Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), the largest uranium producer in the United States and the leading conventional producer of vanadium, appears well positioned to capitalize on the recent attention that nuclear power has attracted, both in the United States and abroad. A recent push for nuclear power by the International Energy Association (“IEA”) and OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, two major international organizations, recognizes immense benefits of this energy source for both economic recovery and energy supply resilience in the post-COVID19 world.
According to the IEA, nuclear power has been one of the largest contributors to carbon-free electricity with the considerable potential to contribute to power sector decarbonization. In its recent World Energy Outlook Special Report on Sustainable Recovery, the agency reported that investing in nuclear energy, particularly in existing power plants, is one of the measures set out to support clean energy technologies during the COVID19 economic recovery (http://ibn.fm/P3zcN). The report notes that extending the operations of existing nuclear plants will support job creation and the prevention of more emissions per GW than other low-carbon options.
In a similar tone, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency recently published a series of policy briefs (http://ibn.fm/obvAk) that investigate the role of nuclear energy in the post-pandemic economic recovery covering four themes: building resilience of electricity infrastructures, high-quality job creation, cost-effective decarbonization and unlocking finance for nuclear energy infrastructure.
In a statement following the release of the briefs, the agency stated that the COVID19 pandemic had made a significant impact on the global economy and the energy sector underlining the importance of electricity resilience and reliability during major disruptions. It is becoming increasingly clear that stimulus packages put in place by governments around the world have the opportunity to foster energy systems that not only contribute to economic recovery but also meet long-term environmental goals and energy security, said the agency. Nuclear energy can play a key role in post-COVID19 economic recovery.
The pandemic may be an additional impetus for an already growing industry. The global demand for clean energy is increasing, with nuclear energy emerging as an excellent option. With power plants that operate 24/7, nuclear is a reliable, stable and affordable energy source with zero carbon emissions and air pollution. In the United States, nuclear supplies 20% of all electricity and 55% of all clean energy (http://ibn.fm/6DmGD). At the same time, major uranium producers are shut down due to the pandemic, including global leader Kazakhstan, which produces 40% of the world’s uranium, squeezing an already tight market.
With more uranium production facilities and capacity, as well as more in-ground resources than any other company in the country, UUUU has produced more than one-third of all U.S. uranium over the past 15 years (http://ibn.fm/khaiz). The Colorado-based diversified miner has been focused on building a rock-solid balance sheet through a strategy of reducing the debt burden over the past several years. UUUU has recently announced the plan to pay off half of its debt by mid-July 2020, expecting to become debt-free by the end of 2020 (http://ibn.fm/ZNrkq). The company is also seeking to bring rare earth element production back to the U.S. With an unparalleled ability to swiftly increase low-cost U.S. uranium production, Energy Fuels is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing role of the nuclear energy in the years to come.

DarioHealth Corp. (NASDAQ: DRIO) is “One to Watch”
-Dario’s popular (4.9 stars on the Apple App Store and 11,000 reviews) chronic condition management platform addresses a $72 billion annual U.S. market opportunity
-There are roughly 51,000 active users of the Dario platform, including its proprietary medical device, mobile application, and digital and human coaching services
-Clinical studies show Dario’s direct improvement on users’ health measures like H1AC scores (diabetes) and blood pressure (hypertension)
-Patient engagement in therapies leads to health success. The Dario platform centers on continual maximization of patient engagement through personalization, including ‘nudges’ and live, AI-generated responses to health measures provided by Dario smartphone-connected medical devices
-Dario is now deploying its successful B2C platform in B2B channels, targeting employers and health plans with competitive advantages spanning cost, software and hardware
-Catasys Inc.’s (NASDAQ: CATS) C-level team (president, CMO, and head of sales) recently joined Dario to accelerate B2B penetration and revenue growth
New York and Israel-based DarioHealth (NASDAQ: DRIO) leads global digital therapeutics (“DTx”) with its popular, smartphone-centered personalized chronic illness management software-as-a-service (SaaS). The company’s strategic advantages include:
-AI-powered digital solutions that drive durable behavior change in chronic disease patients, and
-Personalized user experience at scale to make behavior change the path of least resistance.
Approximately $3 trillion in annual U.S. costs associated with chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension and obesity are largely preventable with behavioral therapies. Formerly limited to periodic office visits, these therapies can now scale to millions with tech-enabled, continual and remote health monitoring, as well as AI-driven digital and live coaching. This is all possible while still maintaining the personalization required for success in reducing illness and its related effects and costs.
Roughly 51,000 active, paying users manage their health with Dario’s platform that combines smartphone-connected vitals measurement, remote patient monitoring (“RPM”), lifestyle management tools, and AI-driven and human coaching to deliver improved clinical outcomes.
Among the most downloaded medical apps, the Dario platform is rated at 4.9 stars on the Apple App Store and features 11,000 reviews, along with a Net Promoter Score (a measurement of consumers’ willingness to recommend the product to others) that’s the highest in its field.
Company Strategy
Clinical studies demonstrate Dario’s direct improvement on users’ health measures like H1AC scores (diabetes) and blood pressure (hypertension).
Patient engagement in therapies leads to health success. Dario’s platform centers on continual maximization of patient engagement through personalization, including ‘nudges’ and live, AI-generated responses to health measures provided by Dario’s smartphone-connected medical devices.
Proprietary data analysis provides valuable insights that not only improve health care providers’ medical capabilities but, through artificial intelligence, encourage patients to take evidence-based and highly personalized preventative measures that reduce risk, emergency room visits and preventable hospitalization.
Dario is now deploying its successful B2C platform in B2B2C, targeting employers and health plans with competitive advantages in cost, software and hardware.
The company estimates an annual addressable U.S. market of $72 billion, only 1% of which has been penetrated with digital therapeutics.
The strategic transition to B2B2C (from exclusively B2B) is intended to accelerate revenue growth by reducing Dario’s cost per acquisition per user and expanding margins.
Dario’s commitment to aggressive growth is also shown by its appointment of a new president, chief medical officer and head of sales for North America, all from a highflyer behavioral health company.
Key growth drivers planned include expansion of the company’s paying B2C subscriber base; lateral expansion into other chronic conditions that overlap with its core diabetes populations, such as hypertension, obesity and depression; and increased B2B2C penetration.
Financial Highlights
The company plans to leverage a massive opportunity for growth, with a global addressable market for digital therapeutics of roughly $108 billion. In the U.S. alone, that number is estimated at $72 billion, and only about 1% of that market has been penetrated.
Dario’s strategic transition to an SaaS membership business model increased gross profit by 87% in Q1 2020, as compared to the prior year. Membership revenue increased from 27.1% to 46.7% in the same period. The company is seeing improved operating efficiencies as it shifts focus to the B2B2C business model, and it expects average revenue per user per month (“ARPU”), which was $6 and $25 in 2019 and 2020, respectively, to reach $70.
Value to Consumers and Businesses
Dario continually evaluates and optimizes the value and return its platform delivers to consumers and businesses.
Consumers seeking to understand how their everyday behavior impacts their personal health and chronic conditions benefit from actionable feedback on how to improve health and better collaborate with health care providers.
Businesses looking to increase employee satisfaction, loyalty and productivity with fewer health-related absences take advantage of Dario’s services for employers.
Health care providers improve patient compliance using the platform’s interactive services that allow for greater monitoring, which improve engagement with patients at the right times and with the right treatments.
Health plans can leverage DarioHealth’s solutions to improve patient outcomes and lower costs.
Recent Studies
The company recently presented the results of two new studies at the American Diabetes Association’s 80th Scientific Sessions, which showed sustained improvements in blood glucose levels and blood pressure among users of its digital therapeutic platform for chronic diseases. The results of these two studies demonstrate that the use of Dario’s therapeutic platform promotes behavioral modification, enhanced individual engagement and improved clinical outcomes.
Remote Patient Monitoring (“RPM”) Agreements
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services recently approved RPM codes for Medicare patients, which enables physicians to bill for between-visit patient care.
This simplifies implementation of the company’s open and scalable AI-driven platform and further supports transition to the company’s high-margin, recurring SaaS model targeting B2B2C revenue channels.
Emergency COVID-19 FDA Guidelines Allow Self-Test Blood Glucose Meters
In an effort to preserve personal protective equipment (“PPE”) and reduce contact between health care providers and patients in hospital settings due to COVID-19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has recognized that home-use blood glucose meters, including Dario’s smartphone-connected metering device, may be used by patients with diabetes who are hospitalized due to COVID-19 to check their own blood glucose levels and provide the readings to the health care personnel caring for them.
As a result, hospitals can now allow patients to self-test using their Dario blood glucose testing strips and smartphone-connected devices, or hospitals can issue patients Dario devices upon admission for COVID-19-related conditions.
Irregularities in blood glucose levels are suspected as a factor in the increased severity of potentially deadly COVID-19 complications. As such, a high priority is being placed on stabilization of patients’ blood glucose levels.
Awards and Recognition
DarioHealth’s Blood Glucose Monitoring System was voted as the ‘Best Glucometer for Data Management’ by Top Ten Reviews. Jeph Preece, senior editor at Top Ten Reviews, said, “The Dario app is the best data management system that I’ve seen. Compared to apps by popular brands, Dario’s system looks and feels like it’s years ahead of the curve.”
‘The Global Digital Health 100’, an annual award sponsored by the reputable Journal of Health, recognized DarioHealth as a leader among health technology companies demonstrating the greatest potential to change the way that health care is delivered.

Bullfrog Gold Corp. (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) today announced that its CEO, David Beling, was featured on The Stock Day Podcast with host Everett Jolly. “We started drilling on May 31st, in spite of Coronavirus, and by June 6th we completed a 25-hole program. Everything is going our way and we’re quite pleased with what we’ve accomplished with this program,” Beling said in the interview, discussing recent projects, then further elaborating on the Company’s intention to drill an additional nine holes. “These drill samples that we collect, we send them to a commercial lab in Reno to get the gold and silver assays. We’re not doing anything on a 43-101. We did a 43-101 resource estimate in August of 2017, but nothing has changed until we get the assays on the 25 holes,” Beling added, noting that once the Company receives the final analytics the next step will be a preliminary economic analysis. He then explained that this would allow the Company to fully define and optimize the Bullfrog and Montgomery-Shoshone pits, followed by feasibility studies.

PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) Welcomes Insurance Entities to Platform Amid Buildup to Online Lease Offerings
-PowerBand Solutions is rolling out its comprehensive virtual platform for buying and leasing automobiles online via home computers or handheld smart devices on the go
-Amid the final preparations to begin leasing automobiles through its platform, PowerBand has announced financing and brand-building efforts by insurance entities D&P Holdings and Comprehensive Auto Resources Company, Inc. (“CARco”)
-PowerBand announced in a recent statement of its 2019 year-end finances that the company had seen its annual revenues grow seven-fold to nearly $2 million and that it is confident revenues will continue to grow by the end of 2020 as a result of its activity
-The company’s platform enables seamless sales transactions by including responsiveness to financing, inventory and inspections management needs
The global rise of giant online retail operations such as Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba, has become Exhibit A in judging the potential reach of e-commerce these days. The need for brick and mortar stores to also maintain a virtual storefront has long since become a foregone conclusion as well.
Disruptive fintech innovator PowerBand Solutions (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA) is becoming part of this movement, driving its smart-tech-accessible platform to obtain household name status as a preferred means of buying and leasing automobiles, with a personalized comfort level thoroughly capable of addressing any concerns that may arise between listing and sale to a degree simply not offered by other online services.
In an era when the coronavirus pandemic has led companies and consumers alike to limit face-to-face transactions in the name of reducing the spread of infection, PowerBand Solutions’ platform streamlines not only the transfer of money but also financing and inventory paperwork, vehicle inspections, and auction negotiations, as part of its all-encompassing alternative to physical in-person purchasing. The streamlined platform provides a speed, ease, and cost-efficiency in auto sales expected to turn the industry on its ear.
On June 16, the company announced its financial statement for the 2019 year-end noting that it had increased revenues seven-fold to nearly $2 million.
“The company made considerable advancements of its comprehensive online platform for the purchase, sale, trade-in, and financing of new and used vehicles in 2019,” PowerBand CEO Kelly Jennings stated (http://ibn.fm/gsofZ). “With the commercialization of the D2D Auto Auctions platform in the U.S., the continued development of the consumer Driveaway app, and the acquisition ed of a 60% interest in the industry-leading online lease platform MUSA Auto Finance, LLC, which should start to originate vehicle leases this month, PowerBand is well positioned to achieve significant revenue growth in 2020, and in the years ahead.”
PowerBand’s automotive transaction platform attracted Texas-based D&P Holdings, Inc., one of the largest administrators of automotive warranty and insurance products in the United States. D&P made the decision to convert $6 million of debentures in PowerBands’ subsidiary company PowerBand US into a direct investment in the company.
“We have seen the PowerBand transaction platform in action and we are confident it will be widely used by both consumers and auto dealers, who are increasingly looking to carry out their automotive transactions on a digital transaction platform,” D&P CEO John Armstrong stated (http://ibn.fm/OY1YA).
Armstrong had previously stated his company will invest at least $10 million in PowerBand eventually.
“While COVID-19 has caused unexpected business delays for many of us, this crisis has reinforced our belief that PowerBand will revolutionize how consumers and dealers interact when they buy, sell, lease and trade cars and trucks,” he stated in April (http://ibn.fm/4ML5k).
Comprehensive Auto Resources Company, Inc. (“CARco”), a managing general insurance agency that administers automobile protection products nationwide, will further advance PowerBand’s brand by using its network to promote PowerBand’s product to auto dealers across the United States (http://ibn.fm/wMrF9).
CARco and D&P will both offer their products to auto consumers via the PowerBand platform.

The acquisition of Soluble Therapeutics and BioDtech marks a new step in Predictive Oncology’s journey towards building out its precision medicine business, following its acquisition of its Helomics arm in April 2019. Soluble Therapeutics, which was founded in 2008 with the aim of commercializing technology licensed from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, seeks to enhance the drug development process by rapidly optimizing protein solubility and stability. Meanwhile, BioDtech develops and markets a line of reagents and systems for the detection, neutralization and removal of endotoxin for researchers in the bioresearch and bioprocess fields.
“These two acquisitions meaningfully expand revenue and monetization prospects for our precision medicine business,” said Predictive Oncology CEO and director Dr. Carl Schwartz (http://ibn.fm/4Nk9J). “First, the Soluble Therapeutics assets increase the company’s capabilities to provide services for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and predict and provide the best formulation with the highest concentration and the most stable solution for protein and peptide-based drugs. Second, the company’s purchase of BioDtech’s assets provides it with ownership over BioDtech’s successfully developed test used to ‘unmask’ endotoxins, which allows a monitoring physician to perhaps change the strategy of treatment or treat the patient with antibiotics. These acquisitions will allow Predictive Oncology to further maximize opportunities within the company’s precision medicine business.”
Predictive Oncology is bringing precision medicine, or tailored medical treatment using the individual characteristics of each patient, to the treatment of cancer. Through its Helomics division, the company leverages its unique, clinically validated patient derived (“PDx”) smart tumor profiling platform to provide oncologists with a roadmap to help individualize therapy. In addition, the company is leveraging 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) Positioned to Transform Ecological Aftermath of Escalated Hurricane Season into Eco-Friendly Solutions
-Forecasters predicting 60% chance for “above-normal” 2020 hurricane season
-NSRI provides services that transform natural debris into useful chemical-free, environmentally beneficial products
-Impressive first-quarter results include over $6 million in revenues, over $1.7 million gross profit
Forecasters from the National Oceanic Administration Association are predicting a 60% chance for an “above-normal” 2020 hurricane season, including up to 6 major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or higher (http://ibn.fm/UEyJ7). With a combination of expertise and dedication to the environment, National Storm Recovery (OTC: NSRI) is positioned to tackle the ecological effects of hurricanes through its services that include tree services, debris hauling, bio-mass recycling, and mulch manufacturing services.
Rather than allowing hurricane waste to be diverted into landfills, NSRI transforms this valuable natural debris into useful chemical-free products that benefit the environment.
Strong hurricane winds harm everything in their path, including urban landscapes, woody vegetation, and ecologically-diverse forests that include a myriad of tree species (http://ibn.fm/P4EF0). Impacts on individual trees can be especially profound, with effects that include severe physical damage, defoliation, partial breakage, dropped branches, toppling, and even complete uprooting.
NSRI provides innovative solutions that are based on principles of sustainability and recyclability, transforming tree debris into a variety of organic, attractive, next-generation mulch products that are packaged and marketed to garden hobbyists and professional landscapers. With its recent acquisition of Mulch Manufacturing, a 35-year leader and innovator in the space, the company is now ready to respond with full-service solutions while benefiting the environment and improving its bottom line.
“We’re in a very solid position after our recent acquisition,” said NSRI Chief Executive Officer Tony Raynor in a recent interview (http://ibn.fm/7c63h). “We were also awarded three long-term three-year contracts that are already in place for storm recovery.
“We’re prepared to jump right into the action and help people get their cities back in order again, and not only take the tree debris that is knocked down…we take it, reprocess it and make it into usable products again.”
Through the acquisition of Mulch Manufacturing, Inc., NSRI was able to leverage the company’s established networks in sales, distribution and production, synergizing the activities of both companies into what Raynor calls “The Sustainable Green Team.”
After an impressive first quarter that includes revenues of over $6.2 million and gross profits of over $1.7 million (http://ibn.fm/pIXeg), the company expects to exceed expectations this year as it enters what’s expected to become a historically busy hurricane season.
“At the end of the day, it’s important to share that belief that we are stewards of the environment, and that shouldn’t be understated,” Raynor noted. “We really enjoy and we’re passionate about what we do, and our numbers came out great and we’re excited about sharing that with the public.”
Based in Florida, NSRI’s client base includes governmental, residential and commercial customers. With an eye on sustainability and stewardship towards the environment, NSRI plans to continue growing its operations from a combination of both organic growth strategies and strategic acquisitions.

ISW Holdings (ISWH) Making Strides to Dramatically Expand Commercial Presence, Segmentation
-Recent article reports ISWH is “highly diversified company with a litany of recent catalysts”
-ISWH has been reporting strong financial data with “growth trend that is somewhat striking on a sequential quarterly basis”
-ISW Holdings is creating successful companies, partnerships in array of disruptive industries
During this economically uncertain time, investors are looking for diverse, stable options. International Spirits & Wellness Holdings (OTC: ISWH) (“ISW Holdings”), a global brand-management holdings company, is a “highly diversified company with a litany of recent catalysts” that make it “worthy of a fresh look,” reports a recent MMJ article (http://ibn.fm/9Y6P9).
The article, titled “A Fresh Look at ISWH Holdings,” notes that ISWH is “making aggressive strides to dramatically expand both its top-line commercial presence and its segmentation, with partnerships placing it in renewable energies, cryptocurrency mining, and data processing.”
In addition to its impressive expansion strategy, the article notes that ISWH has been reporting strong financial data in recent quarters, with a “growth trend that is somewhat striking on a sequential quarterly basis, including 2019 revenues of well over $500K. Management also noted in a recent release that these results were achieved on accelerating sequential quarterly growth, with nearly half of those revenues appearing in Q4. Sequential growth in Q3 (versus Q2) was 26%. Sequential growth in Q4 (versus Q3) was 29%.”
Certainly, ISW Holdings looks to be on a strong trajectory. Initially ISWH established itself as a technology, home healthcare and wellness company focused on reshaping different sectors across various industries. The company has established a strong reputation for using state-of-the-art nanotechnology processes to develop a wide range of effective nano-infused wellness and restoration products.
With that impressive foundation and expert insight, the company then began creating successful companies and partnerships in an array of disruptive industries, including cryptocurrency mining via its recently announced joint-venture agreement with Bit5ive, an official distribution partner of Bitmain (http://ibn.fm/niBud). This move represents significant potential for the company, as the Bitcoin technology market, currently valued at more than $293 million, is forecast to reach $477 million by 2025.
The move into crypto mining aligns solidly with ISWH’s core mission, which is to enhance the sectors it is involved in by implementing innovative services and products ready to meet the demands of a changing world. With that in mind, the company focuses on utilizing its powerful expertise, resources and innovative software to establish market-leading companies and partnerships. This savvy strategy enables ISW Holdings to return maximum shareholder value.
Based in Nevada, ISW Holdings is a diversified portfolio company comprised of essential business lines that serve consumer product demands. The company’s expertise lies in strategic brand development and early-growth facilitation, as well as brand identity through its proprietary procurement process. Together with its partners, ISWH seeks to provide a structure that meets large scalability demands as well as anticipated marketplace needs.

SinglePoint Inc. (SING) Set to Capitalize on Burgeoning Sustainable Hemp Industry
-Hemp emerging as a versatile, sustainable alternative that is easily grown with minimal water, without pesticides
-SING leveraging growth in hemp industry through 1606 Hemp, Klen subsidiaries
-1606 Hemp achieved 133% increase in quarterly sales growth with expected $5.5 million in annual sales revenue per 1,000 active accounts
With hemp making headlines for its versatility and sustainability in the production of many biodegradable materials, SinglePoint (OTCQB: SING), a diversified holding company with operations in multiple industries and verticals, is leveraging this trend with multiple subsidiary businesses in this hypergrowth industry.
Along with its 1606 Hemp combustible hemp cigarette brand and its Klen sanitizer fortified with hemp seed oil, SING is positioned to benefit from hemp’s increasing use in mainstream products as the company expands operations through its aggressive acquisition strategy.
Prior to its prohibition, hemp was historically used in a wide variety of consumer products due to its ability to grow prolifically with little water and no pesticides (http://ibn.fm/JRAFG). Aside from textiles, hemp is also increasingly being used to replace plastic in many common household items. With over 300 million tons of plastic produced every year, only 10% of that plastic is recycled (http://ibn.fm/2TzEI). Hemp-based plastics, on the other hand, decompose in three to six months in ideal conditions. Not only are they more sustainable, but hemp-based plastics are also stronger and safer because they do not contain the dangerous toxins found in conventional carbon-based plastic. Besides its use in textiles, the biofuel industry represents another potential application for the hemp plant. Since cannabis is a weed that grows easily, it may give communities the opportunity to manufacture their own energy within a biofuel-based infrastructure on a decentralized power grid.
SING has shown an intuitive interest in the hem industry, seeing its potential long before CBD products hit the mainstream. Through its strategy of acquiring a significant equity stake in emerging businesses, SING became directly involved in the operation of several hemp-based companies such as 1606 Hemp, its smokable hemp brand. Featuring U.S.-grown pre-rolls cultivated to high standards, 1606 Hemp offers a smooth combustible hemp experience with high CBD content, minimal THC and zero nicotine. The company’s successful sales marketing strategy, along with its social media campaign, led to an impressive 133% quarter-on-quarter sales increase earlier this year, with expectations of up to $5.5 million in annual sales revenue per 1,000 active accounts (http://ibn.fm/jXAXf).
Klen Hands is another hemp-based brand that is wholly-owned, developed and manufactured by SinglePoint. Featuring the addition of hemp seed oil to the product, Klen Hands features moisturizing elements that protect hands and retain moisture while safely and effectively disinfecting hands of all skin types.
SinglePoint’s mission is to capture opportunities through an aggressive expansion strategy across a broad range of assets in emerging industries. Guided by a visionary leadership team, the company typically acquires companies in emerging industries and grows them through strategic capital injections coupled with management’s expertise in sales, marketing, technology and engineering.

Among other highlights, the company’s Hemp cigarette brand, 1606 Original Hemp, experienced a sharp climb in sales, with revenues rising 133% in Q1 2020 compared to the previous quarter. (http://ibn.fm/5Ngqn).

The pre-rolled organic hemp cigarette brand was launched to much fanfare at last year’s MJBizCon Conference in Las Vegas (http://ibn.fm/yoK7G) and represented SinglePoint’s attempts to break into the combustible hemp segment – a sector which is currently the second fastest growing sub-category within the $4.6 billion industrial hemp market (http://ibn.fm/FqXYT).”

The mineral is also being increasingly used in high-capacity, community-scale batteries that store intermittent renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar. . . . In 2019, Energy Fuels recycled 1.8 million pounds of vanadium. This is enough vanadium used in steel to build four and a half Golden Gate Bridges from scratch. And now, the company is entering the rare earth elements (‘REE’) space, which also involves the recycling of REE-bearing materials. Indeed, the White Mesa Mill may be able to play an important role in bringing REE production back to the U.S.

Sharing Services Global Corporation (SHRG) Only Growing Stronger
-Customers keep coming back for their D.O.S.E. of happiness
-Over the last year, company has strategically set aside money, paid off debts and reduced excess expenditures
-SHRG uniquely equipped with leadership team capable of handling change, a necessary skill in 2020
Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG) is focused on elevating entrepreneurs and reshaping how they succeed in today’s marketplace. A diversified company dedicated to maximizing shareholder value, SHRG operates two primary subsidiaries: Elepreneurs US Holdings LLC, a marketing company in direct selling, and Elevacity US Holdings LLC, a products company.
Elepreneurs Holdings is growing an international network of home-based entrepreneurs the company refers to as Elepreneurs, a unique combination of elevate + entrepreneurs = Elepreneurs. SHRG Elepreneurs are encouraged not to compete in the direct-selling market but to succeed in such a way that there is no competition.
The company works to ensure that every Elepreneur has access to a community of support, next-generation customer-relationship management, lead generation, training and mentorship. The goal is to take everyday entrepreneurs and help elevate them to their max potential. In doing so, Sharing Services is redefining success.
As part of that process, SHRG provides a quality line of proprietary products through its second subsidiary, Elevacity Holdings US LLC. Elevacity has created a health and wellness product line that consists of nutraceutical products all formulated to offer a unique combination dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins. The company refers to this proprietary formulation of hormones and neurotransmitters, proven to promote happiness and well-being, as D.O.S.E. The purpose of every D.O.S.E. product to elevate the happiness and well-being of the consumer, and customers have developed a deep loyalty to their daily dose of happy.
The driving mission behind Elepreneurs and Elevacity is to live life elevated and to define success on one’s own terms. Throughout the challenges of COVID-19, this philosophy has guided the company in strategic decision making and a way forward.
While other companies within the direct-selling industry were receiving warnings from the Federal Trade Commission (http://ibn.fm/Ec5Q6), Elevacity was busy preparing for the launch of its newest product, CoffeeMAX. Throughout the pandemic, SHRG has focused on keeping customers and Elepreneurs informed and closely following the guidelines. Already working with an international network, the company was ready to make the fast adjustments needed to survive during the worldwide pandemic.
“Over the last 12 months, we have carefully and purposely set aside money for use in case of emergencies,” said Elevacity president and CEO Keith Halls (http://ibn.fm/J04p2). “We have paid off most debts, eliminated excess expenditures and saved for the future. Because of such actions, we are confident that we will be able to weather and withstand this storm.”
Halls also notes that the company purchased key formula ingredients in advance to not interrupt the manufacturing and logistics of delivery in the event of more unforeseen challenges to the supply line. Finally, Halls encourages Elevacity’s valued customers to reach out and help others, to provide hope and support to one another during these challenging times.
Clearly, SHRG has a leadership team capable of handling change. In March 2018, John “JT” Thatch was appointed president and CEO of SHRG. He brought the company his wealth of experience in fast-paced and flexible environments, an invaluable skill in the ever-changing climate of 2020.
“We recognize the unique challenges our country is facing during these unprecedented times,” Thatch noted, in his own statement regarding COVID-19 (http://ibn.fm/Akv85). “We want to assure you that we are fully operational and functional. Our ‘Elepreneurs’ distributor system remains vibrant and focused. Customer service requests are being handled remotely by our excellent staff. Our fulfillment and logistics partners are currently open and processing orders. And, our executive and management staff are working diligently to conduct our operations in a robust and timely manner.
“We all share the common objective of providing the best in health and wellness products available on the market today,” he continued. “We stand shoulder to shoulder in navigating through this journey with you. Moreover, we are confident that all of us will come back stronger than ever because . . . we are stronger together as a team.”

Bullfrog Gold Corp. (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) Announces Assays on 9 Additional Drill Holes at its Project in Nevada
-Investors have been showing exuberance in gold during the novel coronavirus pandemic, driving prices up nearly 44 percent as of mid-June since a low in September 2018
-Bullfrog Gold Corp. continues to achieve significant gold intercepts at the historically productive Bullfrog Project in southwestern Nevada, with assay reports on nine additional holes that better define the Bullfrog resources and pit limits and potential for expansions. One hole drilled in the Mystery Hill pit showed an intersection of 110 meters averaging 0.41 g gold/t, including 26 meters of 0.91 g/t, while another intersected 91 meters averaging 0.33 g/t and an upper interval of 6 meters averaging 0.53 g/t
-Bullfrog Gold is fulfilling a final work commitment that will let the company buy a 100 percent interest in the project this Septemberfrom Barrick Bullfrog Inc (Barrick) , which produced more than 2 million ounces of gold from the project until depletion of ore reserves in early 1999
Bullfrog Gold (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) is well poised to use its large database , existing resources and poterntial exploration targtes to capitalize on the sudden surge in gold demand during the novel coronavirus pandemic, which in June had taken the market to close to a 44 percent increase since its $1,202.44 low in September 2018 (http://ibn.fm/waesO).
Bullfrog Gold has recently completed a 25-hole strategic drilling program on the 5,250-acre Bullfrog Project lands outside of Beatty, Nev., accessible from Las Vegas’ transportation hub 125 miles to the southeast. Assay results from the exploratory drilling have been coming back in stages, and on June 30 the company announced the addition of nine assays to the initial six holes whose results were announced a couple weeks earlier (http://ibn.fm/mxQfU).
The hole assays continue to show significant gold intercepts that better define all resource classifications within a potential expansion of the Mystery Hill deposit within the existing Bullfrog pit. The other holes were drilled to better define resource and pit expansions to the Montgomery-Shoshone deposit and initially test the new Paradise Ridge exploration target (http://ibn.fm/e1S6C). The Bullfrog mine area is in the heart of one of the most active gold regions in the world and is being aggressively explored by AngloGold, Kinross Gold Coeur Mining, and Corvus Gold.
Most of the holes are on Barrick’s lands where more than one million ounces of the total 2.3 million ounces of gold were recovered during the 1990s using conventional milling operations (http://ibn.fm/MTDg8). Bullfrog Gold has obtained a significant dataset from Barrick with 155 miles of drill information.
The nine new assay results include intersections in the Mystery Hill area showing 110 meters averaging 0.41 g/t of gold in one of the holes and 91 meters averaging 0.33 g/t in another, including notable segments of 26 meters of 0.91 g/t and 6 meters averaging 0.53 g/t. A third hole showed an intercept of 3.22 g/t across 8 meters starting at 46 meters deep.
Most of the new intercepts are not in areas previously included in measured and indicated resource classifications. The previous NI 43-101-compliant resource estimates within parts of the project area show 525,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.02 gold g/t in base case pit plans using a $1,200 gold price and 72 percent heap leach recovery. Other inferred resources were estimated at 110,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.2 g/t.
Bullfrog Gold is enthused about the project’s potential, particularly given recent market price trends and metallurgical test programs that have shown Bullfrog resources are highly amenable to producing very fine leach feeds and achieving an average 85% gold recovery using high pressure grinding rolls rather than conventional crushing equipment. .
Barrick ceased milling operations upon depletion of ore reserves in 1999. During the decade of project operations, Barrick extracted about 26.1 million metric tons of open pit and underground ores from Bullfrog’s epithermal gold systems, averaging 2.98 g/t gold and 4.57 g/t silver.
In early July, Bullfrog Gold expects to receive the remaining assays from three remaining holes in the Montgomery-Shoshone deposit, five holes in the Mystery Hill deposit and two holes in the new Paradise Ridge target.

Sharing Services Global Corporation (SHRG) Leading the Way Through Change in 2020
-Growing use of technology, social media and increased interest in gig-economy opportunities create significant changes in direct marketing space
-Stigma of work-from-home jobs has shifted radically in 2020
-SHRG operates through a business model primed and ready to meet the challenges of the current cultural shift
The last few years have seen a great deal of change in the direct-selling industry. Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG), a company specializing in the direct-selling industry and network marketing, has risen to the challenge by providing high-quality products and elevating its independent contractors.
A recent article in Direct Selling News, titled “A Lifetime of Change In One Decade,” emphasizes the use of technology, social media and increased interest in gig economy opportunities as being key factors to shifts in how direct selling and network marketing function (http://ibn.fm/MaxFV).
All of these changes have provided an avenue for companies such as Sharing Services to step up and lead the way.
“The direct-selling space is evolving from the days when it was sort of a niche way to do business,” states securities analyst Doug Lane in the article. “Given advancements in technology and social selling, direct selling is becoming more mainstream.”
The stigma of work from home jobs has shifted significantly in recent years, with the current pandemic fueling that trend. “The fast-moving coronavirus pandemic has forced millions of Americans to work from home, with no immediate end in sight,” noted a recent NBC News article (http://ibn.fm/UBLzw). “Dates for when employees will return to office buildings move later and later or remain uncertain for many companies. On Tuesday, Twitter told its employees that many of them will be allowed to work from home in perpetuity, even after the pandemic ends. The move signaled a growing shift in attitudes in certain industries toward remote working — a change that could have lasting implications.”
The events of 2020 have catapulted changes to the culture that will significantly affect the direct-selling and work-from-home spaces. SHRG’s business model melds together three keys to success that benefit from this shift and that position the company to meet the challenges and opportunities resulting from these cultural shifts. Those keys are:
-Elevating home-based entrepreneurs
-Generating organic growth
-Creating independent business leaders
SHRG believes strongly in partnering with entrepreneurs, equipping them with training and quality resources to support and boost their success. The company refers to these individuals as Elepreneurs, or an elevated entrepreneur. This network of home-based entrepreneurs is growing internationally, now numbering more than 25,000 globally. This consistent growth is in large part because of the company’s strong online training, mentorship and network system.
Sharing Services companies are not simply selling a product, the company is inviting entrepreneurs to join a community that uplifts and trains for success. Through its two wholly owned subsidiaries — Elepreneurs US LLC and Elevacity Global US LLC — SHRG offers services and products to elevate the lives of entrepreneurs and their customers.
Elepreneurs are encouraged to join a movement that aligns with purpose. This is a direct call to all those who are searching in the gig economy for something more than just a paycheck. SHRG is providing the opportunity for individuals to become independent business leaders in charge of their own future, their own schedules, and their own happiness. In essence, Sharing Services is offering happiness, freedom and purpose to those who are tired of selling their time for nothing more than a paycheck. They are addressing a need in America’s culture as people in 2020 access what they find important in life and begin to make changes that align more toward their individual values.

Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. Non-Surgical, Non-Invasive, and Cost-Effective Solution, May Help Relieve OSA-Associated Healthcare Costs
-Estimates suggest obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) costs the US economy $150 billion annually
-Medicare beneficiaries with obstructive sleep apnea cost taxpayers $19,566 per year
-Company’s oral appliances have shown to be effective in over 15,000 patients, successfully treated worldwide by approximately 1,250 trained dentists and doctors
It is estimated that obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) affects approximately 1 billion people worldwide, of which 54 million are Americans (http://ibn.fm/jBfMi). According to a study published by the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, individuals with untreated OSA face increased health care utilization (“HCU”) and costs across all service aspects. Costs and HCU were evaluated by researchers over the period of a year leading up to the initiation of treatment. According to Emerson Wickwire, PhD, a lead author of the study, sleep disorders represent a massive economic burden on the U.S. health care system. Medicare beneficiaries with obstructive sleep apnea cost taxpayers an additional $19,566 per year. They also use more emergency, outpatient, inpatient, prescription health services, and medical services in general (http://ibn.fm/ZcFhY).
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the economic burden of undiagnosed sleep apnea is about $150 billion a year in the U.S. alone, and diagnosing and treating every patient who is suffering from the condition may generate annual savings of $100 billion (http://ibn.fm/veMVc).
Vivos Therapeutics’ proprietary Vivos System(R) has the potential to help reduce these costs significantly, being the first treatment modality for mild to moderate OSA that can potentially do away with the need for lifelong interventions. The system’s typical 18-24 month treatment time is a fraction of that of alternative treatments. Adults often experience immediate relief with potentially lasting benefits in a matter of months, with the possibility of eliminating the need for surgery (http://ibn.fm/zqmWB).
The multidisciplinary treatment protocol is comprised of comfortable and customized oral devices along with other therapies as needed. In most patient’s, the upper airway is effectively increased and enhanced over the course of treatment, which typically ranges from 18 to 24 months. The purpose is to reduce tissue obstructions causing OSA. Vivos’ technology represents the first true hope of an effective non-surgical OSA solution (http://ibn.fm/7GBpF).
Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. offers a new and superior alternative for treating obstructive sleep apnea and the company believes its technology represents the most important breakthrough in OSA treatment since CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), which involves the use of special face or nasal masks.
Almost all commercial health insurance carriers offer reimbursement for the Vivos System and products. Individual policies and reimbursement options will vary based on an individual’s policy. These unique oral devices are non-invasive and yet, unlike other OSA approaches, treat the underlying condition. Vivos is expanding its technology applications and is now running WIRB approved clinical trials to evaluate oral appliance therapy in pediatrics as the FDA does not currently recognize the treatment sleep disorder breathing for pediatrics with oral appliance therapy. The Vivos System treats the underlying condition for people of all ages.
Vivos Therapeutics is an emerging global leader in the treatment of OSA. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the company utilizes proprietary, groundbreaking technology; a proven, go-to-market strategy; and a powerful executive team dedicated to changing the face of health care by helping people of all ages breathe and sleep properly.
Trained dentists use the Vivos System to treat the conditions associated with SDB and OSA. The company is rapidly expanding the use of the Vivos System by involving dentists earlier and more actively in the process of diagnosing and treating OSA. In support of its growth strategy, Vivos has established FDA-approved and registered manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada and Asia. The company’s oral appliances have shown to be effective in over 15,000 patients successfully treated worldwide by approximately 1,250 trained dentists.

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) Creating Valuable Trove of Specialized Data Across 25,000 Unique Points of Segmentation
-SRAX derives consumer data from BIGtoken platform that compensates over 16 million users from more than 30 countries for access to their data
-BIGtoken provides brands with ability to target and access specific niche groups across 25,000 unique points of segmentation
The business of big data is evolving to benefit both consumers and marketers as demonstrated by the success of SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a technology company focused on digital marketing and consumer data management. The Company’s BIGtoken platform compensates over 16 million users with cash or gift cards when they opt in to give access to their data while concurrently creating valuable data sets that can be accessed by marketers for a fee.
“Big marketers are really interested in this,” said SRAX CEO and founder Christopher Miglino in an interview on the LA Weekly Podcast with Brian Calle (http://ibn.fm/dIMJd). “They don’t want to buy bad data anymore. They want to buy data from consumers that have said ‘yes, you have the right to market to me’, so we’ve found ourselves in a unique spot.”
SRAX’s tools deliver a digital competitive advantage for companies in several verticals that include consumer goods, investor relations, luxury, and lifestyle. The Company’s technology unlocks data to reveal brands’ core consumers and their characteristics across several marketing channels by integrating all aspects of the advertising experience into a single platform. Besides giving access to marketers for a fee, SRAX also engages in the sale of specialized data sets across several verticals.
“Our primary focus is figuring out ways to monetize different data sets. We had a business a few years ago where we aggregated data on doctors in the country and then we sold that data,” said Miglinio, referring to SRAX’s healthcare vertical, SRAX MD, that sold for a $43.5 million consideration while allowing SRAX to retain a 31% ownership.
Investor relations is another key area for SRAX that has increased in importance during these unprecedented economic times, elevating demand for virtual investor relations platforms. Through SRAX’s Sequire platform, CEOs & CFOs of publicly traded companies are now able to monitor the trading behaviors of their investors while the investors in turn are kept informed on corporate prospects.
The power of big data to meet the demands of the increasingly demanding and competitive economic landscape is exemplified by SRAX’s services that give clients the ability to target and access specific niche groups across 25,000 unique points of segmentation. The platform’s unique interface gives users the power to submit specialized queries that include location and purchase history.
Besides serving clients on both sides of the data trade, SRAX also gives back to the community by allowing BIGtoken users to donate their earnings to charity through its partnerships with several high-profile, nonprofit associations. Through the program, BIGtoken users are able to support efforts put forward by the American Heart Association, HealthCorps and The ALS Association.
