• Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, foresees a future where every financial asset is tokenized
• Tokenization promises a future where investing is more efficient, transparent, and accessible, ultimately reshaping the financial landscape
• Diamond Lake Minerals employs state-of-the-art technology to develop and support digital assets and SEC-registered security tokens – setting new industry standards for security and compliance

The cryptocurrency frenzy may overshadow a quieter yet monumental revolution in finance: the tokenization of financial assets. This movement, powered by blockchain technology, aims to digitize and securely represent assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate, eliminating intermediaries and streamlining transactions. Diamond Lake Minerals (OTC: DLMI), a multi-strategy operating company specializing in developing and supporting digital assets and SEC-registered tokens, recognizes that the future of financial markets is set to be revolutionized by tokenization.

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, champions this vision, foreseeing a future where every financial asset is tokenized. Estimates suggest that by 2030, tokenized “real-world assets” could reach a staggering $10 trillion in value (https://ibn.fm/Ojajd). Real estate is a prime example of how blockchain technology could simplify and expedite transactions, reducing costs and increasing efficiency through transparent, immutable records and automated smart contracts.

However, while the potential for asset tokenization is large, it has challenges. Technological barriers and regulatory complexities pose significant hurdles. Despite this, progress is evident, with major financial institutions like UBS and HSBC exploring blockchain applications and regulators in the UK, EU, and the US creating regulatory sandboxes to test tokenization within controlled environments.

The growing acceptance signals a recognition of blockchain’s potential to transform finance. Asset tokenization represents a shift in theory, promising a future where investing is more efficient, transparent, and accessible, ultimately reshaping the financial landscape. Though obstacles remain, the trajectory towards tokenization is clear, signaling a wake-up call for those clinging to outdated practices—the future of finance is tokenized.

In recent reports from major US crypto exchanges, Coinbase Global Inc. witnessed a significant increase in net consumer transaction revenue, rising 60% in the fourth quarter compared to the previous year and 80% over the third quarter (https://ibn.fm/qt4ZS). Similarly, Robinhood Markets Inc., focusing on retail users, noted a surge in crypto notional volumes in December, marking a 242% increase from a year ago. These indicators suggest a resurgence of interest among retail traders, buoyed by the January launch of US exchange-traded funds investing directly in Bitcoin, despite previous losses incurred during the 2022 crypto-price collapse.

While retail investors are gradually returning to the market, metrics such as web searches for “Bitcoin” and app downloads for major crypto exchanges are still below peak levels seen during the last bull market. However, analysts anticipate further growth potential, especially with the upcoming Bitcoin halving expected in April, coupled with the current upward trajectory of Bitcoin prices, which have risen by more than 20% this year.

Investing in Diamond Lake Minerals is an investment in the future of asset tokenization. The company employs state-of-the-art technology to develop and support digital assets and SEC-registered security tokens – setting new industry standards for security and compliance. The company envisions a diverse portfolio, guided by its strategic partnerships and future roadmap, covering multiple industries and focused on vertical integration, digital securities, and sustainable growth.

Market Opportunity

The market value is projected to reach approximately $805.08 billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period.

• Cannabis industry retail opportunities growing amid evolving regulations, increasing consumer demand, and shifting public attitudes
• Demand for specialized, direct-to-consumer properties includes dispensaries, manufacturing or processing centers, and distribution hubs
• ZDPY is a technology-driven property investment company that focuses on securing direct-to-consumer real estate opportunities in the regulated cannabis market
• ZDPY has recently secured and acquired investment properties in Michigan, Arizona, and Illinois with 100% occupancy and a weighted average lease term of 10+ years
• All ZDPY properties are occupied by commercial cannabis tenants, company anticipates $2.5+ million from its property investment portfolio in 2024

Changing regulations and attitudes towards cannabis use are transforming the industry, leading to new opportunities in the real estate sector. Zoned Properties (OTCQB: ZDPY), a technology-driven property investment company, focuses on seizing direct-to-consumer real estate opportunities in the rapidly growing and regulated cannabis market.

Cannabis businesses are expanding significantly as regulations evolve, leading to an increased demand for specialized, direct-to-consumer properties that include dispensaries, manufacturing or processing centers, and distribution hubs. Real estate investors are capitalizing on this demand by acquiring properties for rental income generation while potentially realizing significant property value appreciation as the industry grows.

A case in point is Michigan, where investors, developers, and brokers swiftly pivoted to procure targeted property investments focusing on the needs of cannabis-specific businesses. Along with retail locations, other requirements in Michigan include warehouses, industrial spaces, and growing facilities (https://ibn.fm/F7hMN).

In alignment with the evolving market, ZDPY has recently secured and acquired investment properties in Michigan, Arizona, and Illinois. All properties in ZDPY’s portfolio boast 100% occupancy and a weighted average lease term of 10+ years. Each leased property is occupied by a commercial cannabis tenant, and the company anticipates more than $2.5 million from its property investment portfolio in 2024.

Zoned Properties Brokerage has closed over $80 million of commercial real estate deals nationally since 2021. The company reported revenues of $720,450 for the quarter, ending September 30, 2023 – a 17.2% year-over-year increase. In addition, ZDPY reported a positive net income of $114,523 for the September 2023 quarter compared to a net loss of $77,328 last year.

ZDPY is also leveraging digital innovation through its proprietary cannabis technology platform, called REZONE. Similar endeavors have leveraged data-driven insights, analytics, and artificial intelligence to identify potential investment properties, streamline processes, and enhance efficiency.

Overall, industry experts are optimistic about growth prospects for the industry as public attitudes shift rapidly in favor of increased liberalization. In his State of the Union Address, President Biden called for cannabis reform, specifically his intent to review marijuana rescheduling and possibly issue pardons for thousands of users convicted of possession (https://ibn.fm/15DtO).

Based in Arizona, Zoned Properties is led by Chairman and CEO Bryan McLaren, whose background in community development and strategic leadership informs the company’s forward-thinking strategy. As the cannabis industry continues its forward trajectory, Zoned Properties is favorably positioned to capitalize on real estate opportunities in the rapidly expanding market.

• Electric boats offer an impressive list of benefits for boating enthusiasts
• New partnership establishes exclusive distributorship agreement for south Florida, includes “milestone” order for VMAR’s Phantom
• Nautical Ventures Marine Group has ordered 50 units of VMAR’s Phantom, a boat constructed from fully recyclable materials

The advantages of electric propulsion are spreading beyond the roads to the waterways. Boat enthusiasts see the importance of sustainability as they consider electric boats, but they are recognizing other perks as well. The swell of support for electric boats can be seen in many ways, including the recent news from Vision Marine Technologies (NASDAQ: VMAR), a global leader and innovator in the performance electric recreational boating industry. The company received a purchase order for 50 units of its Phantom model from Nautical Ventures Marine Group, a premier provider of maritime products and services (https://ibn.fm/TyWja).

“There’s no denying the appeal of gliding over the open water, wind in your hair, and the sun on your face,” states an Elektrek article titled “Thinking of Buying a Small Boat? Here’s Why It Should Probably Be Electric” (https://ibn.fm/fgXvO). “Boat ownership has long been a cherished dream for many, and with more options for small, affordable boats than ever, that dream is widely becoming a reality. But in recent years there has been an exciting shift in the market towards electric boats.

“The boating industry, like many other sectors, is undergoing an electric revolution,” the article continues. “More and more people are choosing electric boats over their traditional gasoline-powered counterparts, and it’s not hard to see why.” The article provides a list of reasons why boaters should consider electric options, including a smooth, quiet and pleasurable ride; sustainability; lower operating costs; increased safety; and ease of use. In addition, the article points out that some countries and regions offer incentives and benefits for those who opt for electrically powered boats, in an effort to support eco-friendly alternatives. “Access to electric-only and nonpowered lakes or streams is also a major advantage of electric boats over gas-powered vessels,” the article states.

This hefty list of advantages helped inspire what Vision Marine calls a “groundbreaking partnership” with Nautical Ventures Marine Group. The partnership establishes an exclusive distributorship agreement for south Florida and includes a “milestone” order for 50 units of VMAR’s Phantom, a boat constructed from fully recyclable materials that offers unparalleled durability and performance. The 50 units of the Phantom will be delivered over the next four months.

“Under the exclusive distributorship agreement, Nautical Ventures Marine Group will serve as the sole distributor of the Phantom in the vibrant and burgeoning south Florida market,” the company announced. “This strategic partnership is expected to significantly enhance the visibility and availability of the Phantom, positioning it as a mainstay in the recreational marine landscape of Florida.”

Noting that Vision Marine Technologies and Nautical Ventures Marine Group share a commitment to innovation, quality and environmental stewardship, VMAR CEO Alex Mongeon stated that “this partnership and the initial order of 50 units are a testament to the Phantom’s unique value proposition and our shared vision for a greener future in maritime recreation.”

Vision Marine Technologies epitomizes the marine industry’s shift towards electric propulsion, offering the pioneering E-Motion(TM) outboard powertrain system. This innovative technology represents a significant leap forward in marine propulsion, combining advanced battery packs, inverters, and high-efficiency motors with proprietary software and assembly techniques.

Vision Marine’s commitment to eco-friendly electric powerboats is reshaping the recreational boating experience, offering higher speeds, longer ranges, and smoother rides than traditional internal combustion engine boats. With a focus on design, innovation, and craftsmanship, Vision Marine continues to redefine recreational boating for a more sustainable future.

• SuperCom, a global leading provider of traditional and digital identity solutions, expects a growth in the demand for EM solutions and services as calls for public safety increase
• This follows the ongoing conversations on EM’s benefits against a backdrop of the growing cases of domestic violence
• Bills, such as the Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act, demonstrate the growing realization of EM’s benefits and the role they can play in improving the safety of violence victims
• SuperCom has positioned itself as a leading brand for EM solutions, and with its tried and tested range of products, it expects an uptick in demand with time

SuperCom (NASDAQ: SPCB), a global leading provider of traditional and digital identity solutions offering advanced safety, identification, and security products and solutions to governments, continues to advocate for its electronic monitoring (“EM”) solutions, specifically for offenders of domestic violence. This comes in the wake of the ongoing conversation on its benefits against growing cases of domestic violence and deaths associated with it.

Progress is being made from a legislative front, mainly as more people realize the value of EM solutions. In Tennessee, for instance, the Debbie and Marie Domestic Violence Protection Act was tabled to the House Criminal Justice Committee in February. The bill, once approved, would ensure that victims of domestic violence are provided with a device that would notify them if their abuser is within a certain distance. This would guarantee the safety and well-being of the victims and help hold the offenders accountable for their actions (https://ibn.fm/oHS8G).

While testifying in support of the bill, Alex Youn shared the plight of his sister, Marie Varsos, and their mother, Debbie Sisco, both killed in April 2021 by Marie’s abusive husband right after he was arrested and almost immediately released. Youn noted how the husband sat outside their home for 45 minutes in a rental car, stoked with guns, a taser, and zip ties, pre-meditating what he was about to do.

“I often wonder how things would have gone differently if [Marie] knew that he was sitting outside waiting for them,” noted Youn. “They could have contacted law enforcement, secured their firearms faster, and strategized a plan. And even had time to say goodbye,” he added.

While sad, Youn’s case highlights the importance of EM solutions. Had they been used then, his family could be alive today. This is the case with thousands of other victims who have suffered the same fate, and unless something is done, the numbers might keep growing.

SuperCom, through its growing line of EM solutions, recognizes this issue at hand and continues to refine its offerings to address emerging situations and challenges in various spaces and markets worldwide. Its PureSecurity Suite offers advanced EM solutions and services to criminal justice agencies, allowing for efficient operations, outstanding compliance, and highly successful outcomes. SuperCom has seen its solutions adopted by various governments worldwide, from EU countries to the United States and Canada.

As more conversations are held and more people and institutions realize the benefits of EM solutions, SuperCom expects the uptake of its products and services to grow. It has already proven the superiority of these products and services and positioned itself as a leading brand for EM solutions. As such, its management is optimistic that demand for its products will increase as time progresses, and by doing so, it will help to increase the protection of thousands of domestic violence victims around the world while holding the offenders accountable for their actions.

• Advanced Gold Exploration in January 2024 closed the first tranche of a non-brokered private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of $62,500
• A continuing private placement is in progress and will be closed soon
• In December 2023, the company exercised its option to acquire a 75% interest in certain mineral claims located in Melba Township in the Kirkland Lake Area of Ontario
• In October 2023, Advanced Gold Exploration acquired an option on the Landrum gold property in South Carolina from Carolina Gold Resources
• The company announced in September 2023 it would change its corporate name to Advanced Gold Exploration Inc.

Advanced Gold Exploration (CSE: AUEX) (OTC: AUHIF) (FSE: 4TG), formerly Advance United Holdings Inc., is a junior mining company bringing an entirely different approach to the mining industry. Advanced Gold Exploration doesn’t intend to become a mining company. Rather, it has acquired a portfolio of undervalued gold properties and is increasing their value through the application of modern technology. The object is to eventually monetize the projects to add value for its shareholders.

Advanced Gold Exploration has a growing pipeline of similar properties that it is looking to acquire. The company is involved exclusively in the acquisition and advancement of past gold projects – with no intent to bring them back into production. It leaves the actual gold mining to others who are experts in that area.

Advanced Gold Exploration’s expertise is in identifying and acquiring undervalued properties with significant historical work which were previously not economically viable, but that the company believes have economic value at today’s gold prices. Advanced Gold Exploration funds the reworking of historic data and applying modern technology to underwrite new qualified reports that document quantifiable resources and reserves to current standards, thereby recognizing the current value of the projects.

The company’s purpose is to bring immediate and long-term value to its partners and shareholders while seeking to eliminate exploration risk. Advanced Gold Exploration believes that the future of gold is strong, and it will be part of that future.

The company is headquartered in Toronto.

Projects

The Melba Property is the site of a former producing gold mine located about 15 kilometers north of the gold mining center of Kirkland Lake, Ontario. The project is located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, part of the largest gold producing area of Canada. Visible gold can be identified in quartz veins on the surface and high-grade gold intersections have been obtained in drilling by AUEX. No exploration has been carried out on the extensions of the veins to the north or south of the surface exposures in swamp covered areas.

The Doyle Property lies in the Batchawana Greenstone Belt located north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Past drilling identified high-grade gold deposits in three areas of the property. Follow up studies are needed on all three sites. Exploration has not been carried out to follow-up the high-grade gold intersections. Further work will focus on expanding the areas of known gold mineralization.

The Landrum Property in Edgefield County, South Carolina, is in the Carolina Gold Belt, home of at least five past producing gold mines and one currently producing gold mine. The area was the site of the first gold rush in the U.S. in the early 1800s, predating 1849 California. The area has recently become of interest due to gold bearing intersection on a nearby property where 62.5 meters graded 8.5 G/t gold in a recent drillhole. Gold can still be panned in some streams in the area. Identified veins consist of silicified zones generally made up of 20-50% and vary in thickness from less than a meter to 10 meters.

The Paint Lake Road Property is located in Wawa, Ontario, and is less than five kilometers from Wesdome’s operating Mishi Open Pit gold mine. Gold deposits have been found to the north, east and south of the property. A recent geophysical survey on the neighboring property has pointed to a prospective mineralized horizon which appears to trend onto the property.

Market Opportunity

The World Gold Council, the industry association for the world’s gold producers, estimated in 2023 the physical financial gold market, which is made up of bars, coins, gold ETFs and central bank reserves, is worth nearly $5 trillion. The council reports that gold mine production adds approximately 3,500 tons of the precious metal to the world’s supply annually, equivalent to about 2% growth.

Recently the gold price has reached new highs on multiple days and is tracing a trend upward.

This historical scarcity and relatively slow production of new supply, as compared to other commodities, is a primary reason gold has retained its value for millennia, according to the council.

Management Team

James Atkinson, M.Sc., P. Geo., is CEO of Advanced Gold Exploration. An experienced exploration geologist and project manager with over 50 years of experience, he has spent his career in mineral exploration and mining. He has designed and managed multimillion dollar programs searching for and discovering various commodities, including industrial minerals. These projects involved geophysical, geochemical and drilling programs, as well as prospecting and geological mapping. He has also negotiated options and purchase deals for mineral properties and raised financing for exploration. He recently completed a transaction which resulted in cash and shares to the company. The result was a special distribution of publicly trading shares to the existing shareholders.

NOTE TO INVESTORS: The latest news and updates relating to AUHIF are available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/AUHIF

• Autism (“ASD”) is a global problem, with no generally accepted treatment. In the UK alone, between 1998 and 2018, research has found a greater than 780% increase in the number of autism cases
• PaxMedica is focused on the development of novel anti-purinergic therapies (“APTs”) for the treatment of ASD and other serious conditions with intractable neurologic symptoms
• The ASD therapeutics market was valued at $2.01 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.42 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.9%
• There is currently no approved pharmacologic treatment targeting the cause and symptoms. Current treatments only address the condition’s symptoms rather than targeting the pathophysiology itself

Researchers used to believe that autism spectrum disorder only affected one in 2,500 children – today, that estimation is closer to one in 36 children. Between 1998 and 2018, research has found more than a 780% increase in the number of autism cases in the United Kingdom. This significant increase is partially due to the deeper understanding and awareness of autism and the number of physicians who can diagnose the condition (https://ibn.fm/o5oTZ).

Autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”) is a developmental disorder affecting how individuals interact with other people, behavior, communication, and learning. This disorder can be diagnosed at any age, but symptoms often appear in the first two years of life. There is currently no approved pharmacologic treatment targeting the cause and symptoms. Current treatments only address the condition’s symptoms rather than targeting the pathophysiology itself.

PaxMedica (NASDAQ: PXMD), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel anti-purinergic therapies (“APTs”) for the treatment of ASD and other serious conditions with intractable neurologic symptoms, is on a promising path to address the unmet medical needs of ASD, bringing hope to millions. Anti-purinergic therapies target the excess production of purines in cells. An overexpression of purines can offset homeostasis and result in an overproduction of cellular adenosine triphosphate, the main energy molecule in all living cells.

PaxMedica is developing a robust lineup of products aimed at addressing ASD and associated neurodevelopmental conditions. Their flagship product under development holds promise in mitigating or even easing some of the most challenging factors of ASD, potentially facilitating smoother integration of autistic individuals into social settings and enhancing their quality of life.

At the forefront of PaxMedica’s initiatives are PAX-101 and PAX-102, leveraging the company’s exclusive source of suramin sodium, a broad-acting anti-purinergic therapy with a century-long history. Their ongoing endeavors encompass:

• PAX-101 (IV Suramin) for ASD – Having concluded a Phase 2B study in 2021 involving 52 subjects across six sites in South Africa, PAX-101 exhibits promising results in ASD management. Suramin’s efficacy, demonstrated in a dose range study, underscores its potential as a therapeutic agent for ASD, with findings presented to AACAP in October 2021.
• PAX-102 (Intranasal Suramin) – PaxMedica’s innovative intranasal suramin formulation is presently undergoing evaluation for its efficacy in ASD and other neurodevelopmental conditions.
• PAX-101 for HAT – Capitalizing on suramin’s historical usage in treating Human African Trypanosomiasis (“HAT”), PaxMedica is advancing PAX-101 as a therapeutic solution for this ailment, particularly focusing on early-stage East African HAT cases.
• Selective Anti-Purinergic Therapies – PaxMedica’s exploration extends to other APTs through preclinical studies targeting specific purinergic receptors. These investigations aim to uncover therapies that offer tailored benefits beyond suramin’s broad spectrum of action.

The ASD therapeutics market was valued at $2.01 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.42 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% (https://ibn.fm/lvMzA). There are many factors expected to influence this growth, including the growing prevalence of the disease globally, the rising awareness about ASD and the available options for treatment, and growing interest by investors making investments in R&D initiatives for effective drugs to treat ASD.
