The Movie Studio, Inc. (MVES) Benefits from Explosion in Original Content Programming
-The Movie Studio has benefitted from recent surge in demand for VOD platforms
-Launch of new streaming platforms has led to increase in demand for original content, product differentiation
-44% of viewers are now opting to view original content unique to specific platform
-MVES has monetized its film assets across a number of VOD providers and recently expanded its distribution to foreign markets
As theaters have been shuttered across the world in the wake of COVID-19, movie studios have had to find ways to reach moviegoers at home—a move that has created a windfall for video-on-demand (“VOD”) purveyors. Original content and film producers such as The Movie Studio (OTC: MVES) have been major beneficiaries of the recent surge in demand for online content.
AMC Theaters, the world’s largest cineplex operator, recently announced that “almost all” of its locations in the United States and Britain would reopen by July (http://ibn.fm/J7Ayd). The dearth of cinematic content as well as the lengthy lock-downs prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an explosion in growth for VOD platforms, with up to 12,000 consumers a day reportedly cutting ties with their traditional satellite and cable service in favor of online platform subscriptions (http://ibn.fm/Zt6z3).
In April 2020, Netflix released its first quarter results, revealing that the streaming platform had added 15.8 million new subscribers in the first quarter of the year – up 23% year over year and, remarkably, over double the 7 million new subscribers the company had originally forecast (http://ibn.fm/bDgX9). However, the launch of a spate of new streaming platforms – including the likes of Apple TV+, Disney, Comcast’s NBCU and AT&T’s WarnerMedia, and the growing need for product differentiation has led to a rising demand for original content programming.
A 2019 study by consultancy PwC found that video-on-demand VOD viewers spent 44% of their time watching content which was original to the platform it was viewed on (http://ibn.fm/M7amL). The rise in competition as well as the difficulty in sourcing licensed content has led to a surge of investment in to original content creation. Netflix alone is forecast to spend $17.8 billion on original content production in 2020, a 157% increase on its spend only five years prior (http://ibn.fm/d8iKr).
A beneficiary of the growing need of streaming platforms to secure original content, The Movie Studio has sought to carve out a niche for its unique brand of films by creating and distributing its content on major subscription VOD platforms without the expense of using recognizable movie stars; the strategy in turn has allowed the company to focus on increasing production quality and reduced its overall capital expenditure.
Thus far the company has successfully monetized its film assets on platforms such as Amazon Prime, tubi tv, Comcast and Showtime while entering into a number of distribution agreements to further bolster its commercial efforts going forward. In addition to its existing partnership with Filmhub for the licensing and distribution of its motion pictures, The Movie Studio recently announced that it had entered into a memorandum of understanding with BINGE Networks LLC, an award-winning streaming platform which has enabled MVES to syndicate and monetize its content globally.
“We are excited to leverage a digital platform for our current and future aggregated titles and to facilitate title recognition for upcoming movies,” stated The Movie Studio president and CEO Gordon Scott Venters. “This platform allows for geo-fracturing of worldwide distribution rights, isolating our potential revenue streams and allowing for the maximization and monetization of intellectual property rights” (http://ibn.fm/jOhv5). Venters went on to elaborate on the recent monetization efforts achieved through its collaboration with BINGE Networks, “We also recently announced that The Movie Studio has licensed several films, including ‘Bad Actress’ and ‘Exposure’ for distribution in Australia.” (http://ibn.fm/9qLmW).
With worldwide subscribers expected to top 1.1 billion by 2021 (http://ibn.fm/s1GMl), the global growth of VOD platform revenue is expected to rise from $69 billion in 2018 to $129 billion by 2023 (http://ibn.fm/y5dWg). The Movie Studio’s innovative distribution model, vast film library and wide array of feature films in pre-production has optimally positioned the company to capitalize on the continued surge in global demand for original content programming going forward.

ISW Holdings (ISWH) Enters Crypto Space via Partnership with Leading Crypto Mining Company
-Joint venture with Bit5ive represents milestone for ISWH as it marks company’s first foray into burgeoning crypto world.
-ISWH excited to expand current portfolio, move into sector poised for strong technological and financial growth.
-ISW Holdings among limited, exclusive options for equity market investors looking to capitalize.
International Spirits & Wellness Holdings (OTC: ISWH) (“ISW Holdings”), a global brand-management holdings company, has entered the cryptocurrency space via a joint agreement with Bit5ive, an official distributor of top-selling crypto mining equipment (http://ibn.fm/Fb1E8). The joint venture represents a milestone moment for ISWH as it marks the company’s first foray into a burgeoning crypto world, where the Bitcoin technology market, valued at more than $293 million in 2019, is expected to reach $477 million by 2025.
The move appears to be a strong strategic one for ISWH, which has growing businesses in multiple sectors, including renewable energy, home health care, wellness and restoration, the adult beverage industry, and operations in supply chain and logistics management. “We are incredibly excited to expand our current portfolio and move into what we believe is a sector poised for strong technological and financial growth,” said ISWH president and chairman Alonzo Pierce (http://ibn.fm/SYUp7). “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.”
The explosive potential of cryptocurrency mining should only strengthen the company’s already diverse portfolio, making it even more attractive to investors. In fact, a recent “Journal Transcript” article, titled “ISWH and Bit5ive Team Up to Conquer the Crypto Mining Capex Opportunity,” noted that “for traders and investors in the equities markets, one theme has remained extremely difficult to find in terms of portfolio exposure: cryptocurrency mining. Very few companies have genuine exposure and constructing a diversified portfolio of equities with operational ties to the crypto mining theme has remained an elusive goal. . . . But, as a result of a groundbreaking new joint venture announcement that hit the newswires in May, ISWH is now one of the most interesting new vehicles through which investors can gain exposure to the cryptocurrency capital equipment marketplace.”
As ISWH enters this growing sector, Bit5ive looks to be the ideal partner. The new partnership draws on strengths of both parties to combine global brand management with innovative crypto mining solutions.
Bit5ive is an official distribution partner of Bitmain, the industry-leading fabless manufacturer of computing chips and distributor of Antminers to more than 30 countries in Latin America, Central America, and the Caribbean. In addition, Bit5ive produces and distributes POD5 and Power Skid 2.5, recognized as the most efficient and successful infrastructure for crypto mining hardware. Bit5ive is one of the largest U.S.-based companies in the cryptocurrency mining and bitcoin farm industry, a clear an indication of increased interest in bitcoin and blockchain technologies.
“We have achieved considerable growth and hit several major milestones in the last three years, consistently growing our staff and honing our expertise along the way,” said Bit5ive CEO Robert Collazo. “It is important that we continue innovating and be over par with industry demand from every aspect.”
This new partnership should allow both companies to do exactly that. “There are very few stocks in the stock market with genuine exposure to the upside in cryptocurrency mining,” the “Journal Transcript” article concluded. “As the mining space expands in response to more demand for coins, mining equipment is likely to become a core investment theme. And now, following its partnership with Bit5ive, ISW Holdings Inc. is among a very limited and exclusive set of options for equity market investors looking to capitalize.”

Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. Launches Promising Treatment of Mild to Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Adults
-Obstructive Sleep Apnea (“OSA”) impacts up to 1 billion people globally, including 54 million Americans
-Estimates suggest OSA costs the U.S. economy $165 billion annually
-Vivos System offers significant advantages over traditional OSA treatment approaches
-Over 4,300 healthcare professionals registered for Vivos’ education and training Summit in March 2020, with strong and growing interest in this disruptive new technology
Vivos Therapeutics’ Vivos System is the first treatment modality for mild to moderate OSA based on the ability to remodel and enhance the function, size, and shape of the human airway, in most cases avoiding the need for lifelong interventions. The system’s treatment time is a fraction of that of its alternatives, potentially relieving symptoms in a matter of 18-24 months in most cases without the need for surgery (http://ibn.fm/7opjM).
The company’s existing mRNA (Mandibular Repositioning Appliance) is an FDA cleared class II device that treats mild to moderate sleep apnea, snoring, and sleep disordered breathing in adults. This is great news for people suffering from sleep apnea, as the device for most patients can serve as a potential lasting solution to these frustrating and dangerous conditions. It is estimated that OSA affects approximately 1 billion people worldwide, of which 54 million are Americans (http://ibn.fm/jrHQ6).
Vivos created and patented its novel system to combat OSA caused by deficiencies and other tissue anomalies in craniofacial anatomy development, the main cause of 98% of OSA cases. The multidisciplinary treatment protocol is comprised of comfortable and customized oral devices as well as biofunctional therapies, such as training the tongue. Over the course of treatment, the patient’s upper airway is effectively increased and enhanced, reducing tissue obstructions causing OSA. Vivos’ technology represents the first true hope of an effective OSA solution not involving surgery or lifelong interventions (http://ibn.fm/SuE6g).
The company is also developing an mmRNA (Modified Mandibular Repositioning Appliance) device, which is currently undergoing mechanical testing. Once this has been completed, the company plans to submit a 510k to the FDA for class II clearance approval. Once they have the FDA’s 510k clearance and award letter, they will approach Medicare in hopes to have the mmRNA added to the PDAC approved oral devices to treat mild to moderate sleep apnea, snoring, and sleep disordered breathing in adults. If Medicare provides Vivos CMS PDAC approval, they can bill the mmRNA for adults 65 and up with Medicare and/or adults 18 and up with various commercial policies that do follow Medicare guidelines.
Although Vivos devices are currently cleared only for mild to moderate sleep apnea in adults, and not for severe sleep apnea, the company believes its technology represents the most important breakthrough in OSA treatment since CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), which involves the continuous use of special face or nasal masks.
Vivos’ proprietary system is designed to promote correct growth and development of the hard and soft tissues surrounding and compromising the oral cavity, nasal cavity, upper and lower jaws, and other tissues which comprise and shape the human airway. The system uses Pneumopedics(R), the natural process induced by Vivos biomimetic technology to widen and expand the patient’s airway, allowing for proper breathing through the nose. This addresses the root cause of OSA effectively.
The Vivos System multidisciplinary treatment protocol involves collaboration between physicians, dentists who have completed advanced training in craniofacial sleep medicine, and other ancillary healthcare providers. Unlike many other approaches, it aims for a lasting resolution by targeting the root cause of sleep apnea. Vivos clinicians can now be found in almost every major city in the U.S. and in many countries.
Vivos sponsored its first online education and training Summit on March of 2020, featuring selected clinicians from the dental and medical arena. The event reached maximum capacity in just three days, with over 500 dentists in attendance. Six additional two-day encore events were quickly scheduled twice a week thereafter to accommodate the surging demand. Over 4,300 healthcare professionals concerned about sleep, breathing, and wellness, are currently registered for the innovative program (http://ibn.fm/dM8CQ).
“By going virtual with sleep/breathing education and training, we have created an opportunity for everyone to come and learn about the latest developments in currently available treatment options,” said Vivos Co-Founder and CEO R. Kirk Huntsman. ” We believe our approach and related services could make a huge difference in the lives of many.”

Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: KGS) Ideally Positioned as Investors Seek ‘Safe-Haven’ Assets
-Gold prices have gained 15% so far this year, surpassing $1,700 per ounce threshold.
-Yahoo Finance article concludes that gold will continue to be preferred investment option.
-KGS is dedicated to acquisition, exploration and development of gold, silver properties in North America
As the economy struggles to regain stability in the fragile environment created by a global pandemic, gold has emerged as a highly preferred investment option. The precious metal has long been recognized for being one of the most consistently performing investments over time, a fact that puts Kingman Minerals (TSX.V: KGS) in an attractive position for those looking for an investment foothold in the gold or silver industry.
“Gold prices have gained 15% so far this year and surpassed the $1,700 an ounce threshold for the first time in seven years,” a recent Yahoo Finance article reported (http://ibn.fm/xFmr6). “This was primarily driven by the coronavirus-induced crisis that triggered apprehensions regarding the global economic growth. This, in turn, sent investors scurrying for safe-haven assets like gold.
“The Fed has slashed interest rates to zero,” the article continued. “Notably, lower the interest rates, lesser will be the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion, making gold an attractive option for investors holding other currencies. Further, lower oil prices and fears of supply crunch with miners halting their operations as per government mandates to stem the coronavirus spread have also contributed to the price movement. Further, mining companies are major consumers of energy with around 50% of their production costs closely linked to energy prices. The current combination of higher gold prices and lower oil prices will translate into improved operating margins and higher free cash flow for miners.”
The Yahoo article, titled “Gold Mining Stocks’ Outlook Bright on Coronavirus Fears,” noted that, because of COVID-19, the global economy has been upended, resulting in gold seeing its best performance since 2010, increasing as much as 20%, with analysts predicting a continued increase. Calling gold a “safe-haven asset,” the article concluded by stating, “Gold will continue to be the preferred investment option supported by the environment of low interest rates and coronavirus-induced global slowdown. Lower mined gold supply, higher demand and geopolitical tensions are likely to drive prices north, which bodes well for gold-miners.”
With two current mining operations in place — the Mohave Project and the Cadillac East Property — Kingman Minerals appears ideally positioned in today’s volatile investment world. KGS is focused on sourcing and developing high-quality, nongrass-roots properties in favorable mining jurisdictions, and has entered into option agreements to purchase 100% of the properties within its portfolio.
Kingman’s Mohave Project is located in the Music Mountains in Mohave County, Arizona, and is comprised of 20 lode claims, including those from the Rosebud Mine. In addition, KGS has entered into an option agreement with two arms’ length vendors to acquire a 100% interest in 52 nearby lode claims covering an area of 1,071.2 acres. High-grade gold and silver veins were discovered in the area in the 1880’s and were mined into the late ‘20s and ‘30s.
The company’s Cadillac East Property is located east of Val d’Or, a hub for exploration and mining activities in the Canadian province of Quebec. The property consists of 12 claims, and KGS has an option agreement to earn 100% over three years. Recent exploration reported multiple potential targets for future investigation, as results from the soil program identified value in gold, silver, copper, zinc and nickel.
Formerly known as Astorius Resources Ltd., Kingman Minerals is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in North America. Based in Canada, KGS is focused on 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.

-Trxade Group Inc. is a growing B2B pharmaceutical network that provides solutions to small healthcare businesses, care providers and medical patients through growing optimization of remote-access health services
-Amid the sweep of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Trxade Group has continued to build its vision of enabling the health industry to operate transparently and effectively even as the importance of changing remote-access medicine models grows
-Trxade Group recently began receiving research report coverage from investment services firm Taglich Brothers, Inc. as part of ongoing brand-building efforts
-The company also recently announced that experienced healthcare market advisory professional Ashton Maaraba has been named president of Trxade Group’s Bonum Health telemedicine practice and will guide new patient acquisition
Growing prescription drug delivery and healthcare services innovator Trxade Group (NASDAQ: MEDS) continues to nurture a brand built on the vision of officers intent on providing affordability, transparency and equal access to medical community patients through effective technology. The company recently announced that investment services firm Taglich Brothers, Inc. has begun providing coverage to Trxade through its research division (http://ibn.fm/sSOt8).
Trxade’s efforts to expand its network of independent pharmacies and empower them to better deliver medications regardless of competition from larger retail chains have resulted in an upswell of brand-building and marketing outreach during the past several months.
After Trxade’s acquisition of Internet drug outlet company Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC, (http://ibn.fm/wrNq4) the company began building a remote-access “secure virtual examination room” for patient-physician consultation through a “Health Hub” initiative that partners with the company’s drug delivery services (http://ibn.fm/3mHKC).
Trxade then began listing its common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market in February as part of its efforts to increase its visibility, stability and ability to attract new investment (http://ibn.fm/uTO4r), even as the novel coronavirus pandemic was beginning to make itself known throughout the world. Trxade helped respond to concerns about limited testing for the new virus by rolling out an FDA-approved rapid point-of-care skin prick test to help medical professionals triage patients with potential COVID symptoms (http://ibn.fm/0Oknn).
Trxade’s developments are helping to position the company to deliver value to the health care market in coming days as nations recover from their initial shock at seeing populations decimated by the pandemic and begin working with confidence on providing health solutions and solutions that address economic and lifestyle needs.
“We believe our platform will become even more important for our customers in the years to come. We have a clear vision of our strategy and the opportunities ahead and look forward to another successful year of growth,” Board Chairman and CEO Suren Ajjarapu stated earlier this year in a report on the company’s 2019 achievements (http://ibn.fm/jA8tM).
The Taglich Brothers coverage involves an agreement for Taglich to create and disseminate research reports on Trxade and its market. Trxade has paid for the initial two months, which will begin reporting in September, and will begin paying a monthly service amount for ongoing reporting after that initial period has expired.
Trxade also recently announced the appointment of former AshHealth healthcare market advisory firm President Ashton Maaraba as president of Trxade Group’s Bonum Health telemedicine practice.
Maaraba has over 20 years of experience in developing and directing strategic national sales, marketing and operating initiatives in ever-changing, dynamic environments, according to the company, and will work to help build long-term shareholder value by welcoming a growing number of patients under the Bonum Health Hub platform.
“Ashton is an intuitive leader with acute business acumen and expertise in channel development and market development,” Trxade Group CEO Suren Ajjarapu stated in describing the company’s forward strategy (http://ibn.fm/8hFn9). “I am confident in his ability to drive widespread adoption of Bonum Health amongst both employers seeking to provide unique healthcare perks to their workers as well as to individuals seeking a low-cost, convenient way to speak with a doctor.”

InsuraGuest Technologies (ISGI) Adds a New Product to its Insurtech Platform
-InsuraGuest Technologies is an insurtech company disrupting the insurance landscape by utilizing its proprietary software platform to deliver digital insurance to multiple sectors
-InsuraGuest’s new Business Liability product, administered through the company’s website InsureThePeople.com, will deliver coverage for more than 130 business class codes, including business property, business income, and general liability
-The insurtech industry is expected to see a CAGR of 10.8 percent between 2019 and 2025, according to ResearchAndMarkets.com analysts, delivering global revenues of $10.14 billion by 2025
The fast pace of technological change continues to drive changes in the way we work, and today, small businesses now account for 99% of American companies. Small business continues to evolve at a rate unseen by past generations – driven not only by emerging technologies but also by disruptive conditions such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Add in the nation’s 64.8 million freelancers, and there’s massive potential among small business owners and entrepreneurs who have evolving needs and are currently underserved in the business insurance space. InsuraGuest Technologies (TSX.V: ISGI), an insurtech company, is responding to that need in a way that’s revolutionizing insurance for small businesses.
Affordable insurance coverage remains a core need for the business community, and the insurtech industry provides a nimble response to the changing conditions companies are dealing with amid this evolutionary trend. Insurtech software company InsuraGuest Technologies, Inc. (TSX.V: ISGI) already established itself as a Hospitality Liability Policy solution for the hotel and vacation rental industry, but recently began to upscale its offerings for a much broader clientele.
“We are taking digital insurance and reimagining it, reinventing it, and revolutionizing it by harnessing the power of our insurtech platform to deliver that digital insurance to multiple sectors,” InsuraGuest Chairman and CEO Douglas Anderson stated in a recent news release (http://ibn.fm/oX8a1) about the company’s new Business Owner Policy (“BOP”) insurtech portal, www.InsureThePeople.com. “Additionally, by advancing our product offerings, we are creating multiple avenues of revenue, which will result in greater shareholder value.”
Through its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Insure The People, LLC,(www.InsureThePeople.com), InsuraGuest will digitally deliver BOP policies to cover more than 130 class codes, including business property coverage, business income, enhanced equipment breakdown (such as micro-circuity), general liability and employment practices liability at the outset.
Once the portal launches, InsureThePeople (“ITP”) expects to add coverage for sectors such as Blanket Additional Insured, employee benefits liability, hired and non-owned auto, liquor liability, miscellaneous professional liability, scheduled property floater, cyber risk, workers’ comp, errors and omissions, and directors’ and officers’ coverages.
InsuraGuest Insurance Agency will operate InsureThePeople.com policies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, where InsuraGuest Insurance Agency is licensed to sell insurance. The company also just celebrated the news that it can finish streamlining how it issues policies for its hospitality coverage, thanks to a certificate of compliance issued to the company’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary InsuraGuest Risk Purchasing Group, LLC (“RPG”) by the Insurance Department for the state of Utah, where InsuraGuest’s headquarters are located.
The insurtech industry is expected to continue its upward trajectory as an increasing number of businesses evaluate their strategies to keep up with the evolving marketplace worldwide. A recent report by analysts at ResearchAndMarkets.com projected that global market revenue for the industry will reach $10.14 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 10.80 percent during the six years leading up to that point (http://ibn.fm/n64CU). Expect InsuraGuest Technologies to be leading the way.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Sugarmade, Inc. (SGMD) Announces Plans to Expand into Cannabis Cultivation in Verticalization of BudCars Model
Sugarmade (OTCQB: SGMD), together with its BudCars Cannabis Delivery Service (“BudCars”), today announced that the Company is submitting an application to the California Bureau of Cannabis Control to expand into cannabis cultivation as part of a strategic plan to partially verticalize its BudCars model, a process that management strongly believes will further increase the Company’s gross profitability over the long-term and provide a rapid potential path to branded product development. According to the update, the Company has already secured a property containing a 5,000 square-foot indoor premium cannabis cultivation facility located in very close proximity to its Sacramento BudCars hub. “BudCars is a high margin, high-growth business. But it will still benefit from verticalization,” Sugarmade CEO Jimmy Chan said in the news release. “Because we have access to our end-market consumer directly and we have cultivation expertise and a premium grow facility, an expansion into cultivation to connect the dots is a clearly advantageous move. In addition, because BudCars is a rapidly growing distribution channel, we will have a clear edge in the marketplace in terms of the capacity to establish our own branded cannabis product line.”

Energy Fuels Inc.’s (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) Plans to Redeem Half of Outstanding Debt Early
-UUUU will pay off half of its debt in July, plans to be debt free by the end of 2020
-Expects to save about $350,000 in avoided interest
-Energy Fuels has focused on strategy to eliminate debt over the past several years with minimal impact to shareholders
Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR), the largest uranium mining company in the United States, plans to take a significant step forward in its strategy to reduce debt and further strengthen its balance sheet by redeeming half of its outstanding debt earlier than planned (http://ibn.fm/eAj5w). The company notified holders of the outstanding floating rate convertible unsecured subordinated debentures of its plans earlier this month.
“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,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers. “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.”
On July 14, 2020, UUUU will redeem the principal amount of Cdn$10,430,000, half of the outstanding Cdn$20,860,000 debentures, originally due Dec. 31, 2020. The debentures are redeemable for an amount equal to 101% of the principal due, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, up to but excluding the redemption date.
The plan calls for the debentures to be redeemed on a pro rata basis to the nearest multiple of Cdn$1,000 in accordance with the principal amount of the debentures registered in the name of each holder, or in such other manner as deemed equitable, subject to any applicable regulatory approvals. The record date for determining the holders of the debentures to be redeemed is slated for July 8, 2020. Following the partial redemption, Cdn$10,430,000 aggregate principal amount of the debentures will remain outstanding and shall continue to be subject to the terms of the indenture and remain listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
“Many junior uranium producers and developers in North America are currently incurring significant amounts of debt to fund exploration and development activities and to cover corporate overheads,” Chalmers said. “However, without sufficient cash flow, servicing this debt can become extremely burdensome and destructive to shareholder value. Instead, Energy Fuels has focused on a strategy to reduce our debt load over the past several years, including paying off our debt to the State of Wyoming in 2018, all with minimal impact to our shareholders. Furthermore, we do not expect to incur more debt in the future without a clear, short-term path toward positive cash flow. We will continue to manage all aspects of our business proactively, including maintaining our position as the leading U.S. uranium producer, advancing our exciting rare earth initiatives, and maintaining the other significant aspects of our business plan, including our significant inventories of uranium and vanadium.”
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 U.S. 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, and production capacity than any other producer, Energy Fuels is in a unique position to take charge as the leading producer of uranium in an era of viable transformation of the U.S. nuclear industry. Energy Fuels is also making significant progress in entering the U.S. rare earth processing business.

Licensed producers haven’t yet been able to scale their production to meet consumer demand for this product category, and brand loyalty has not yet been achieved the same way we have seen in mature U.S. markets for similar products. We believe that Dynaleo will be a key partner in manufacturing gummies brands that will be leaders in the 2.0 market.”

Is InsuraGuest Technologies Inc. (TSX.V: ISGI) the Next Insurtech Unicorn?
-InsuraGuest partners with hospitality expert Adam Gatto to increase hospitality footprint
-InsuraGuest’s Hospitality Liability policy ideal for vacation-rental operators
-Mammoth market: vacation rental companies number 23,000 in U.S.; 115,000 globally
In the hospitality business, it’s not who you know but who knows you, which is why the partnership between InsuraGuest Technologies (TSX.V: ISGI) and hospitality and hotel expert Adam Gatto is a big deal. Gatto heads AAG Capital Management (“AAG”), which has been involved with single-asset and portfolio sales of select-service hotels, large convention hotels, and hotel development. Joining forces with Gatto should expand InsuraGuest’s presence in new markets (http://ibn.fm/TIF1h).
InsuraGuest is a pioneer in the fast-developing insurtech sector of digitized insurance products that reduce operating costs and increase customer satisfaction. The company has already launched a hospitality policy that offers hotel owners and vacation-rental operators a way to increase property revenue and decrease risk and claims profiles while protecting their guests. Now, ISGI is turning attention to other niches in the mammoth insurance marketplace; this impressive start-up could be the next Unicorn in the insurtech space.
In the same way fintech disrupted financial services, insurtech is revolutionizing the staid insurance industry. It’s an industry badly in need of disruption, with many of its practices and products outdated and change slow in coming. For example, some maritime contracts such as bottomry and respondentia date back to ancient Babylon, circa 2000 BCE, and yet were still quite common in the nineteenth century. The development of digital technologies has made the industry’s timeworn operations seem even more antiquated. But these technologies also provide ways to make insurance protection more accessible, affordable, and better tailored to individual needs.
Many corners of the insurance industry are ripe for reinvention. Some are already in upheaval, with upstart digitech insurance providers laying claim to niche after niche, sometimes with amazing results. One such provider, Lemonade, founded just five years ago, is now worth $2 billion – according to Forbes (http://ibn.fm/w2JwX) – after the company raised $300 million. The company uses behavioral economics, artificial intelligence, and chatbots to deliver renter’s and homeowner’s insurance policies at greatly reduced prices.
Another provider — Root Insurance — also targets homeowners. Root first ventured into the car insurance marketplace with a novel product that bases the policy premium on the motorist’s driving behavior. After its latest funding round in September 2019, the company was valued at $3.65 billion (http://ibn.fm/7Lyog). And Next Insurance, which offers general liability coverage to small business, is now the nation’s latest insurtech Unicorn, according to PitchBook, crossing $1 billion in valuation after reinsurance giant, Munich Re, ploughed $250 million into the start-up (http://ibn.fm/75A5j).
Munich Re’s investment in Next Insurance is not surprising. A major driver of demand for digitization has come from traditional carriers as they move to simplify transaction processes and improve customer service. These establishment insurers and brokers are turning to insurtech start-ups to help update their legacy systems and increase market responsiveness, reports a recent Boston Consulting Group (“BCG”) study. The reasons are obvious. Digitization is expected to significantly improve the insurance industry’s core business of risk measurement and management, which in turn should allow more consumers to enjoy basic insurance protections at less cost than is currently available.
InsuraGuest’s Hospitality product called Hospitality Liability offers coverages that protect hotels and vacation-rental properties, addressing covered claims from guests during their stays. The vacation-rental market looks particularly promising. In recent times, it has expanded by around 6.9%, a growth rate that tops regular hotel bookings. Market revenues are estimated to have reached $57.7 billion at the end of 2019, driven by the prodigious 115,000 vacation-rental companies operating globally, 23,000 of which are based in the United States. Undoubtedly, many of these companies will see InsuraGuest’s Hospitality Liability coverage as a way to add value to their offerings.
As insurtech continues to grow and disrupt the insurance industry, InsuraGuest Technologies has stepped into the insurtech/fintech space offering a tremendous amount of value with powerful new digital insurance products. That begs the question: could InsuraGuest Technologies be the next Unicorn to watch out for?

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) Launches App for New Investor Intelligence Platform Sequire
-App will allow company executives to monitor shareholders’ trading behavior from any location
-Platform enables diverse account management capabilities, including ability to build contact profiles on shareholders, track outstanding warrants and shares, manage social media & news campaigns remotely
-Online modes of connecting with investors have become especially relevant in wake of COVID-19 pandemic
SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a digital marketing pioneer focused on providing consumer data management services, has recently launched a new app for its investor intelligence platform, Sequire. Sequire, which enables companies to monitor their shareholders’ buying and selling behavior and interact with them through a number of digital mediums, has seen a rapid gain in adherents following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused demand for virtual investor relations platforms and services to skyrocket. Now through the launch of its proprietary mobile application, Sequire will allow CEOs & CFOs of public companies to monitor their investors’ trading behaviors anywhere they go.
The application, which is available to download for free on the App Store and Google Play, includes many of the features which have been popularized through the Company’s existing service. Subscribers will now be able to gain insights on their shareholder’s trading activity, analyze market-maker activity within their listed equities through the use of level 2 trading data and even turn real-time conference visitor data into targeted cross-channel ads. The app will also provide users with a business card scanner, enabling executives to quickly scan business cards to save and organize contact information from people they meet.
“We are thrilled to launch the Sequire mobile app enabling our clients to now monitor their investors’ behaviors and their contributions anytime and anywhere,” says SRAX CEO and founder Christopher Miglino (http://ibn.fm/p5v1M). “We’ll also be launching more exciting mobile features in the next few months, so stay tuned.”
Investor relations functions have increasingly gone digital as companies find themselves unable to meet with their investors in person. Hundreds of investor conferences across the world have been moved to virtual platforms while webinars have gained in popularity—the latter medium allowing presenters to target and reach far wider audiences than ever before. However the shift to digital mediums has been juxtaposed against record trading volumes and market volatility, with monthly equity transactions hitting historic highs across a multitude of global stock exchanges in the first quarter (http://ibn.fm/iUh0A). As investors have sought to gain greater clarity on corporate prospects during these uncertain times, virtual IR platforms such as SRAX Inc’s Sequire have found themselves in greater demand than ever before.

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Vivos Therapeutics Inc. Develops Potential, Nonsurgical Solution for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Vivos Therapeutics, an emerging global leader in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”), has developed a groundbreaking remedy that holds the potential to be a possible solution for the life-threatening condition. A recent article further discussing the company reads, “This innovative medical device technology company has created and patented a novel system to combat OSA caused by deficiencies and other tissue anomalies in craniofacial anatomy development — the root cause behind 98% of OSA cases. The Vivos System requires no surgery but is a multidisciplinary treatment protocol that consists of comfortable and customized oral devices. Over the typical 18-to-24-month course of treatment, we believe the patient’s upper airway is remodeled and enhanced, thereby reducing the tissue obstructions that gave rise to the OSA. Thus, Vivos technology represents the first true hope of an effective and lasting nonsurgical OSA solution that, in most cases, doesn’t require a lifetime of treatment intervention. For the first time, the salutation ‘good night’ will truly mean a good night for these sufferers.”

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – Kingman Minerals Ltd. (TSX.V: KGS) Engages Burgex Inc. to Complete New NI 43-101-Compliant Technical Report
Kingman Minerals (TSX.V: KGS), a Canada-based company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of gold and silver properties in North America, recently commissioned Burgex Inc. to produce a new NI 43-101 technical report on its Mohave County assets. An article discussing the company further reads, “Forming part of KGS’s Mohave Project, the historic 167-hectare Rosebud Mine was originally discovered as part of the ‘Gold Rush’ era in the 1880s and was mined extensively until the 1930s. While the most accessible resources have already been extracted, modern mining techniques enable the extraction of difficult lodes safely and cost effectively, giving KGS the ability to tap into the new wealth left behind by previous mining generations. . . . Renewed interest in the Rosebud site by KGS is primarily driven by underground mapping, drilling and sampling of the area conducted between 1984 and 1986 by L.A. Bayrock, PhD, PGeo, on behalf of Stellar Resource Corporation (http://ibn.fm/K2LFf). The proposed drilling site includes eight separate veins and one prominent double vein, which extends from the northwest corner to nearly the southeast corner of the claims block. Written prior to NI 43-101 regulations, the results are not NI 43-101 compliant and require additional underground sampling for verification. KGS has started the process of preparing an NI 43-101-compliant technical report on its Mohave County assets by commissioning the services of Burgex Inc. (http://ibn.fm/9c7fc), a mining consulting services company specializing in the analysis of abandoned mine sites throughout the Western United States.”

Bullfrog Gold Corp. (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) Details Strategic Growth as Gold Price Increases
-In January 2020, Bullfrog completed a private placement of shares that raised C$2 million to fund drilling of its flagship project with 43-101 compliant gold resource of 525,000 ounces and 110,000 ounces of inferred resources within pit plans
-Company’s project is 125 northwest of Las Vegas and in the area where Barrick Bullfrog gold Inc. produced over 2.3 million ounces of gold between 1989 and 1999
-Bullfrog’s land position is now covers 5,250 acres in the prolific Bullfrog Gold District
-Average gold price is expected to reach by year end an all-time high of $1,970 per troy ounce
Bullfrog Gold (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) President and CEO David Beling detailed the company’s strategic efforts to position for growth over the past decade and discussed development of its flagship Bullfrog Project, as well as company management in an exclusive audio interview with NetworkNewsWire.
“Bullfrog Gold took over an OTC-listed company in mid-2011. The key property that we had at that time is now our flagship property called The Bullfrog Project. We didn’t have any known ounces on it, but we had great potential in an area where Barrick Bullfrog Inc. produced 2.3 million ounces from 1989 to 1999,” Beling said (http://ibn.fm/n1E2s).
In the years since, Bullfrog has expanded its base in Bullfrog Gold District 125 miles northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. The company has acquired more lands, including an option to purchase key lands from Barrick that contain most of the established resources. Their strategic land ownership and resources have positioned the company for success on the market, particularly with soaring gold prices. According to aggregated statistics, average gold prices worldwide are expected to reach an all-time high of $1,970 per troy ounce this year, from $1,390 per troy ounce in 2019. Analysts expect the average price to stay over $1,900 per ounce over the next few years (http://ibn.fm/90qY9).
Beling underlined that the company is committed to developing its Bullfrog project and adding value, having the necessary capability to take it into production or to complete an M&A or a corporate transaction on the property. “We just recently completed a 25-hole drill program to expand resources, further define expansions of the existing pits and initially test a new, highly prospective exploration target,” he said.
During the interview, Beling also detailed the company’s recent corporate achievements, including a Canadian Stock Exchange listing in September 2019 and closing a C$2 million (US$1.47 million) equity raise in mid-January 2020 to fund its recently completed Bullfrog Project drilling program.
Bullfrog’s corporate backing is just as impressive. The company’s management team has over a century of combined experience in the industry, Beling himself having been in the business for more than 55 years. Chairman and Director Alan Lindsay brings about 42 years of experience, 26 of which are in the mining industry, to the table, while Kjeld Thygesen, independent director, has 48 years of experience in mining research and investment management.
Additionally, approximately 5% of the company is owned by Owl Capital Corp., run by Ron Netolitzky and Dale Wallster. Netolitzky was inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame in 2015. Wallster and his team discovered what became Hathor’s Roughrider uranium deposit, sold to Rio Tinto for C$650 million (over US$479 million).
At present, the Bullfrog Project has a measured and indicated resource of 525,000,000 ounces of gold and 1.34 million ounces of silver at average grades of 1.02 and 2.61 grams per tonne within pit plans based on a gold price of $1,200 and a cutoff grade of 0.36 g/t. There is also an inferred in-pit resource of 110,000 ounces of gold and 248,000 ounces of silver at similar grades. Barrick conventionally milled and produced over 2.3 million ounces of gold and 2.49 million ounces of silver from three open pits and one underground mine between 1989 and 1999
Project lands cover the Bullfrog and Montgomery-Shoshone pits that the company intends to expand and process using low cost heap leaching methods. Several exploration targets are also planned for drilling.
Since purchasing the initial land position in 2011, Bullfrog optioned 12 patents from Mojave Gold. The company also leased/optioned 28 claims and 6 patents from Barrick that include SE half of Montgomery-Shoshone pit and north third of Bullfrog deposit in 2015 and leased 24 patents, staked 134 claims, and purchased two patents during 2017 and 2018.
