Approximately 17,000 People Came Through the Doors of the Inaugural Event in Edison, NJ The 420 Expo, New Jersey’s first-ever BYOC Consumer Cannabis Convention, was an unmitigated success for the cannabis community, exceeding all expectations. Approximately 17,000 people aged 21+ attended the historic three-day event, from September 16-18, 2022, at the NJ Convention & Expo Center in Edison, NJ. Hosted by the legendary Tommy Chong and presented by Wakit Grinders, the 420 Expo brought together experienced cannabis users, the “canna curious,” and businesses from the cannabis world and beyond in what amounted to one giant celebration. The event also featured significant educational seminars, designed to start breaking down the stigma that is still associated with legalized recreational adult use of marijuana. “While THC products weren’t for sale at the 420 Expo, just the idea that people could legally bring their own cannabis, and use it, at an event that was clearly curated to support the cannabis community meant a lot to attendees,” said J. Handy, co-founder of the 420 Expo. “People were raving about every part of the expo, from meet-and-greets with celebs like Tommy Chong and Rob Van Dam, to amazing vendors, food trucks, great music, and killer afterparties. It was truly a momentous occasion.” In addition to the celebratory atmosphere, educational seminars tackled very real and meaningful issues. The 20+ sessions included topics such as “Cannabis 101,” “Combatting the Social, Racial, & Economic Injustices of Cannabis,” “Medical Marijuana Patient Perspectives,” and “Overcoming Addictions” to opiates and other hard drugs with the help of cannabis. Dan Davis, co-founder of the 420 Expo, said, “It was literally nothing but good vibes. Despite thousands of people, 75+ vendors, tons of live entertainers, etc., there were zero issues. That speaks volumes about the responsible community from all walks of life who are exercising their legal rights with recreational cannabis use, and we hope it debunks many of the misguided perceptions out there.” Next year’s 420 Expo will take place in the same location on September 22-24, 2023, and planning is already underway.

• Residential sector is major energy consumer, accounting for more than 20% of US energy consumption; strong push for grid decarbonization coupled with rising energy prices are turning the tide
• More and more Americans are warming up to idea that their homes could be both energy efficient and comfortable as they seek net-zero homes to control both their carbon footprint and energy bills
• GeoSolar Technologies is poised to capitalize on this growing market demand with its technology that seeks to revolutionize how homeowners generate and use power

As the climate crisis unfolds, it’s becoming increasingly clear that residential stock may lie at the heart of the greenhouse gas conundrum. Therefore, tackling how people live may be an integral part of any green initiative that aims to succeed toward a greener future. That’s where companies like GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a Colorado-based climate technology company, can step in and take up the challenge to bring more sustainable living into American homes. Its SmartGreen™ systems utilize the unlimited power of the sun and earth to heat and cool buildings, charge electric vehicles, and run electric appliances. Predominantly heated and powered by fossil fuels, American homes are notorious for guzzling energy as residential buildings contribute more than 20% to the country’s energy consumption. Often built with poorly insulated walls and thinly glazed windows, each household releases around 70% more carbon dioxide than the average passenger car (https://ibn.fm/iXxgN). Devices for temperature control, combined with home appliances such as washing machines and refrigerators, account for most of that consumption. Although so-called passive construction — or building principles for achieving superior energy efficiency while also allowing for comfortable living — have been known since the energy crisis in the 1970s, American homeowners have been slow to embrace them fully. Due to relatively lower energy costs and a heated political debate over climate change, the nation’s residential home sector failed to adopt the technology that allows these principles on a widespread level. But that seems about to change. Homeowners increasingly seek to ensure that their everyday lifestyle is part of the solution rather than making the climate crisis worse than it already is. In their attempt to contribute to resolving this challenge, they often work to retrofit their existing houses and bring them to “net-zero energy” status — which means an environmentally sustainable house that creates at least as much energy as possible it consumes. One such family is featured in a recent article published by The Washington Post, showing Vanessa Bertelli and Stefano Negri, who lives in Washington DC with their three children. The family decided to claim back control over their own carbon footprint and re-designed their home toward net-zero status – which involves slashing their energy consumption in the first place and then employing solar energy production to offset what they do consume (https://ibn.fm/ytxBa). Proponents claim multiple benefits of such a way of living. These changes not only reduce household carbon footprint but can also lead to a better quality of life, thus achieving a sweet spot that combines convenience, comfort and better health with lower energy costs and smaller overall environmental impact. The air is cleaner, heating, and cooling costs are lower, and the comfort level is easier to maintain. As a result, an increasing number of homeowners is shifting toward renewables and authorities are catching up with the updates to building codes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and monetary incentives to support their implementation. For example, Bertelli – Negri family’s home city, D.C., boasts a lofty goal, aiming to run its grid on 100% renewable energy by as soon as 2032 in a bid to establish itself as the country’s leader in clean-energy construction. This ambitious green initiative includes requirements for new builds to be net-zero and the Solar for All program, where the city provides no-cost solar panel installation to income-qualified residents. GeoSolar appears well positioned to respond to this rising market demand. The Company’s proprietary SmartGreen™ Home technology aims to transform every aspect of the living experience to be more aligned with the effort toward a greener future. It seeks to harness the sun’s and earth’s never-ending power to electrify homes and empower homeowners and businesses to achieve Net-Zero heat and cool buildings, charge electric vehicles, and run electric appliances. GeoSolar’s solar panels, geothermal heat pumps and advanced CERV 2 air purification systems have been designed to unleash energy efficiency by using the power of the sun and earth to enable building that works for humans and nature alike.

• Cepton received a letter of intent from Koito for an investment of up to $100 million to help fund Cepton’s next stage of growth as it scales for mass market deployment
• Lidar technology within urban settings is becoming increasingly ubiquitous across automotive (i.e., assisted driving & autonomous vehicles) and smart infrastructure
• Since being the recipient of the largest known ADAS contract from an automotive manufacturer within the lidar space, Cepton maintains a major frontrunner

Cepton’s (NASDAQ: CPTN) long-term automotive Tier 1 partner, Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. recently revealed that it had provided Cepton with a Letter of Intent representing an investment of up to $100 million to help fund Cepton’s next stage of growth as it seeks to scale its lidar solutions for mass deployment (https://ibn.fm/2nIDH). This investment would bolster Cepton’s balance sheet and allow the company to develop the manufacturing and supply chain capabilities it needs to meet the expected demand from the rapidly expanding lidar market. Lidar technology has become increasingly ubiquitous, particularly within urban settings. For example, Chinese tech giant Baidu recently revealed that its autonomous vehicle-powered ride-hailing service had successfully processed its one millionth ride, a remarkable feat achieved only twenty-four months post the service’s inception (https://ibn.fm/eFcU0). Whilst Baidu’s milestone was remarkable, the foundations of its achievement lay several years in the past when the company opted to equip its autonomous driving vehicle fleet with lidar sensors, thereby enabling its cars to reliably navigate roadways in real time whilst simultaneously detecting objects, vehicles and people that posed a potential collision threat (https://ibn.fm/BIOBj). From powering autonomous vehicles across Beijing to controlling traffic volume in South Africa, lidar technology has proven itself as a robust, versatile 3D perception tool with a plethora of use cases (https://ibn.fm/rYug1). In support of these types of innovations, U.S. Rep. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, introduced the SELF – DRIVE act, a bill aimed at forming a federal regulatory framework designed to spur the development of autonomous vehicles in the U.S. The successful passing of this bill has been heralded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a key step towards furthering the development of self-driving cars and ultimately, lidar technology within the nation (https://ibn.fm/eC8Ek). Outside of the highly publicized and buzzing autonomous vehicle market, smart infrastructure presents a strong use case for lidar sensors. In fact, a recent market study forecasts the total addressable market for lidar technology within smart infrastructure (e.g., crowd analytics, perimeter security, road traffic management, electronic tolling, etc.) to rise from $1.5 billion in 2025 to $14 billion by 2030 (https://ibn.fm/hQUOI). A key use case for lidar has been within traffic intersection management solutions, which carry the capabilities to store data on accidents to help the municipality understand the traffic situation. In addition to providing reports to help build better models of simulated traffic scenarios for the development of AVs (https://ibn.fm/KGPBW). The deployment of lidar technology has enabled city planners to simultaneously gain perspectives on additional road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and scooters, which has been critical to their ability in developing strategies around resolving traffic flow patterns and safety issues going forward. Cepton lidars has also partnered with surveillance managements, providing anonymized data by eliminating concerns around personal identifiable information as many patrons might object to being monitored (https://ibn.fm/h4vME). Cepton, a Silicon Valley innovator and pioneer within high-performance lidar solutions, has rapidly emerged as a leader amongst its peers – deploying its unique capabilities across a host of different environments, ranging from traffic systems in Cape Town, South Africa to airport terminal monitoring in the U.S. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Cepton.com.

• As of September 7, 2022, the company had a market capitalization of C$235 million
• In the period ending June 30, 2022, Eloro reported C$14.4 million in cash on hand
• The company’s stock is covered by analysts from Cantor Fitzgerald and Haywood Securities
• Eloro has raised more than C$40 million in multiple financing deals
• Eloro’s strong management and technical team is working diligently to uncover the immense value of the Iska Iska and La Victoria projects, both of which are located in mining-friendly jurisdictions

Eloro Resources (TSX.V: ELO) (OTCQX: ELRRF) is a publicly traded exploration and mine development company with a portfolio of gold and base-metal properties in Bolivia, Peru and Quebec. The company has an option to acquire a 99% interest in the highly prospective Iska Iska Property, classified as a silver-tin polymetallic epithermal-porphyry complex, a significant mineral deposit type in the Potosi Department of southern Bolivia. Iska Iska is a road-accessible, royalty-free property. Eloro also owns an 82% interest in the La Victoria Gold/Silver Project, located in the North-Central Mineral Belt of Peru, some 50 kilometers south of Barrick’s Lagunas Norte Gold Mine and Pan American Silver’s La Arena Gold Mine. La Victoria consists of eight mining concessions and eight mining claims encompassing approximately 89 square kilometers. La Victoria has good infrastructure, with access to road, water and electricity, and is located at an altitude that ranges from 3,150 meters to 4,400 meters above sea level. The company has a strong management and technical team working diligently to uncover the value of both Iska Iska and La Victoria. Eloro is based in Toronto, Canada. Projects Iska Iska – Potosi, Bolivia Iska Iska is associated with a Miocene possibly collapsed/resurgent caldera, emplaced on Ordovician age rocks with major breccia pipes, dacitic domes and hydrothermal breccias. The property is wholly controlled by the title holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. It is located 48 kilometers north of Tupiza city, in the Sud Chichas Province of the Department of Potosi. This is an important mineral deposit type in the prolific South Mineral Belt of Bolivia. Eloro commissioned a NI 43-101 Technical Report on Iska Iska, which was completed by Micon International Limited and is available on Eloro’s website and under its filings on SEDAR. A fully financed drill program is currently underway on the property, situated near world-class deposits including Silver Sand, San Bartolomé, Pulacayo, San Cristobal, San Vicente, Chorolque, Tasna, Choroma and Siete Suyos. Iska Iska is in the southwest part of the Eastern Cordillera, which hosts a number of major polymetallic mines and mineral deposits. Drilling and continuous channel sampling results have demonstrated some very high metal values, especially silver and tin, within an immense system, where mineralization has been encountered in every drill hole to date. The company believes there is excellent potential for world-class bulk mineable deposits. La Victoria – Ancash, Peru The La Victoria project, targeting gold and silver production, is situated near world-class, low-cost gold producers Pan American Silver and Barrick Gold Corporation. Located in Ancash Department, La Victoria sits on the western slopes of the Peruvian Andes. The property is located 12 hours from Lima, with a travel distance of 600 kilometers.

Operations at La Victoria are planned to proceed with a 2,000-meter diamond drilling program to test targets to outline potential resources at San Markito. Trenching and sampling confirmed high silver values and veins at San Markito in 2020. Market Outlook According to industry association The Silver Institute, the outlook for silver demand is exceptionally promising, with global demand forecast to rise to a record high of 1.112 billion ounces in 2022. The increase will be driven by record silver industrial fabrication, which is forecast to improve by 5%, as silver’s use expands primarily in solar energy and electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturing. The institute states that government commitments to carbon neutrality have resulted in a rapid expansion of green energy projects, driving record photovoltaic panel installations which are expected to lift silver demand in this segment to an all-time high in 2022. Rising demand in the electronics industry is also boosting the demand for tin, which is primarily used in solder. The electronics and electrical industries use solders containing 40-70% tin, which provide strong and reliable joints under a variety of environmental conditions. At present, the majority of the assemblers are using patented tin-and-copper-based solders. Mordor Intelligence estimated tin demand at 387 kilotons in 2021 and forecasts demand growth of 2.5% annually through 2027. Over the medium term, surging demand from the EV market and increasing applications in the electrical and electronics industry is expected to drive the market. Management Team Thomas G.

• FuelPositive is working on completing the validation of the first demonstration unit of its green ammonia production system in November 2022, following which it will deliver the system to a farm in Manitoba
• The placement in the Manitoba farm is part of a demonstration project intended to evaluate the operational interface between the system and the customer as well as provide insights on the ease of use of the system and ensure the system performs as expected over time
• Having completed a portion of the validation that yielded positive results, FuelPositive has begun accepting pre-sale applications from farmers
• Meanwhile, FuelPositive is making efforts to enter controlled environment agriculture
• The company has partnered with the Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility at the University of Guelph and Lenore Newman, the Director of the Food and Agriculture Institute at the University of Fraser Valley

Committed to sustainability, reversing climate change and ending global food insecurity, Ontario-based clean energy solutions provider FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) has long been working on releasing its onsite, containerized green ammonia production system to the public. Having set an aggressive timeline for itself toward the end of last year, the company has been inspired partly by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) ’s successful approach to manufacturing and product development and by the Toyota Production System (“TPS”) (https://ibn.fm/6a3d2). FuelPositive’s product development program has remained largely on course, with build-out and validation of the hydrogen separator and nitrogen extractor, which make up 60% of the system, having been completed ahead of schedule. However, in acknowledging supply chain challenges that have delayed the build-out and validation of the patent-pending ammonia synthesis convertor that makes up the remaining 40%, FuelPositive now expects to finish validating the demonstration unit of the system in November 2022, a slight deferral from its earlier projection of late summer 2022. Even so, this delay comes amid positive news that the early validation of the hydrogen separator and nitrogen extractor yielded results that surpassed expectations, giving FuelPositive the confidence to begin accepting pre-sale applications from farmers at a price of CA$950,000. Pre-sales activities started Aug. 10, 2022 (https://ibn.fm/PqRUj). A few weeks since, the company is already seeing strong interest from farmers around the world and has termed the demand as encouraging. “The level of interest in pre-sales serves as a strong indicator of demand. We are seeing a high level of interest in our onsite model, as we expected, because of the stability it gives farmers over supply, timing and price,” said Derek Boudreau, the Strategic Advisor for Agricultural Implementation at FuelPositive. FuelPositive intends to use the pre-sales metrics to determine the volume of demand, following which it will determine the size of its mass manufacturing facility set to be custom-built on a nine-acre site in Waterloo, Ontario. In addition, the data will help the company come up with its material, labor and order fulfillment plans as well as the production schedule. In the interim, FuelPositive plans to first deliver the demonstration unit to a Manitoba farm this fall as part of a demonstration project that aims to investigate the operational interface between the system and the customer in what is expected to provide insights on the system’s ease of use and ensure the system performs as expected over time (https://ibn.fm/YK1Ed). The unit will be deployed at an 11,000-acre family-operated crop farm in Manitoba operated by Tracy and Curtis Hiebert, FuelPositive’s demonstration project partners and first customers. The choice of the Hieberts and the location is strategic. First, Manitoba is known for its extreme weather that sees it experience heavy spring floods, sweltering summers and frigid winters. The unit’s placement in this region, therefore, will enable FuelPositive to understand its performance in the face of such conditions. Secondly, the unit is expected to be powered by renewable electricity from the green Manitoba grid. FuelPositive’s onsite, containerized green ammonia production system is designed to utilize renewable electricity to generate hydrogen from water via the hydrogen separator and nitrogen from the air through the nitrogen extractor, before combining the molecules in an ammonia synthesis convertor to produce green ammonia. Elsewhere, last month, FuelPositive named Lenore Newman, the Director of the Food and Agriculture Institute at the University of Fraser Valley, as its Global Food Security Advisor. In addition, the company announced entry into a partnership with the Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility at the University of Guelph, a research facility focused on greenhouses and vertical farming (controlled environment agriculture). The two partnerships, FuelPositive CEO and Board Chair Ian Clifford said, are intended to help the company make inroads into the exciting and critical controlled environment agriculture (https://ibn.fm/Enj06). FuelPositive’s systems, a news release containing the announcement reads, “would be able to provide nitrogen fertilizer for the highly controlled environments that are required for indoor plant-based agriculture while eliminating the greenhouse emissions associated with traditionally produced grey nitrogen fertilizers. The green ammonia output of FuelPositive’s system could also be used for fossil fuel replacement, heating and cooling, dehumidification, and even for water purification.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FuelPositive.com.

• The average ‘green’ home now sells at a premium of over 100% relative to average home prices across a broad selection of U.S. cities
• Despite annual energy cost savings of $1,587, homeowners often opt to forgo installing residential solar panel systems due to their elevated upfront costs
• The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act will provide homeowners with a 30% tax credit to assist with the upfront cost of installing renewable energy home systems
• The lower upfront costs, coupled with lower utility bills and a ‘green’ premium applied to residential home sale prices could lead to added demand for the likes of GeoSolar Technologies

In St. Petersburg, Florida, the average “green” home sold for $734,502 over the past year, a premium of 159% relative to the average home in the city. However, this “green” premium was hardly confined to sunny Florida alone. Environmentally friendly homes across broad swathes of the United States were habitually found to sell for over twice as much as the average property in their home cities, in locations ranging from Virginia Beach and New Orleans all the way through to Chandler, Arizona (https://ibn.fm/2b7a7). In fact, a study carried out by Consumer Affairs found that 70% of American homeowners reported an increase in home value following the installation of solar panels, with three out of four homeowners stating that they would not buy their next home if the property did not boast solar or some type of eco-friendly feature. Nevertheless, current property owners across the United States, more often than not, opt to forgo installing solar panels and other environmentally friendly appliances within their properties, with 22% citing elevated costs as the key rationale underpinning their decision. GeoSolar Technologies (“GST”), a Colorado-based climate technology company, has sought to combat this trend through the introduction of its proprietary SmartGreen(R) Home system – an environmentally friendly, renewable energy focused technology designed to harness energy from the earth and sun to power and purify homes and automobiles without the use of fossil fuels. With 30% of total greenhouse gases originating from households, addressing rising home emissions has rapidly emerged as a key priority within the global climate change agenda. GeoSolar has looked to capitalize on this trend, revealing that the average GeoSolar-powered home could result in a negligible carbon footprint with homeowners disbursing less than $100 per annum in utility bills – a key consideration within an environment of rapidly rising energy costs (www.GeoSolarPlus.com). Nevertheless, initial installation costs remain a daunting obstacle for many current homeowners. Replacing high energy consuming appliances such as refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, and televisions with more energy efficient models can run into the thousands of dollars. Meanwhile, the lowest price of a residential heat pump can run close to $2,000, with the price of the typical home solar panel system ranging ever higher, at between $17,000 and $34,000, as per home-improvement digital marketplace, HomeAdvisor (https://ibn.fm/F775s). However, help may be on the way. The U.S. Government passed the Inflation Reduction Act in early August, representing the most ambitious climate-spending package in U.S. history – most critically perhaps, it will look to assist American homeowners with the upfront costs of installing renewable energy home systems, with households improving their energy efficiency poised to reap financial benefits. The package will inject $369 billion into measures to fight climate change, boost energy security and lower electricity costs for consumers. For the most part, the investments will take the form of tax breaks or rebates for qualifying households and businesses. The average household could save about $170 to $220 a year in electricity costs – representing a cumulative $209 to $278 billion over the next decade – due to the bill’s policies according to think tank, Resources for the Future (https://ibn.fm/dzhjW). This is in addition to the average reported savings of $1,587 in annual energy costs, according to customer review company, Consumer Affairs. Adding on to the utility cost savings driven by the bill, the Inflation Reduction Act will also contain a 30% federal tax credit applying to the installation costs of residential solar panels up until 2034 – a measure the White House believes may drive 7.5 million more homeowners to install panels over the period. Overall, residential consumers could qualify for up to $10,000 — or more — in tax breaks and rebates, depending on the scope of their purchases. However, and while homeowners have long sought to add solar panels to their properties in a bid to save on utility bills or to lower their carbon footprints, it is the latest home price data which is likely to play the biggest role in promoting renewable power sources. Previously, studies revealed that homeowners could make a return on the investment on their solar panels in a little over seven years, on average. Nonetheless and with green homes now often selling at a premium of over 100% to the average property in their respective locations, going green may be the easiest way for a property owner to boost their home’s value. GeoSolar Technologies for one, is looking to help them do just that. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.GeoSolarPlus.com.

• H1 2022 revenue increased to ~$15.0 million, up 604% from H1 2021 and 117% from H2 2021, driven by House of Brands
• Gross Profit increased to ~$7.0 million, up 547% compared to H1 2021 and 363% compared to H2 2021
• Company reaffirms its 2022 revenue guidance to range between $35.0 million – $45.0 million, indicating approximately 300% – 400% projected revenue growth from 2021

In August, Flora (NASDAQ: FLGC) released its financial and operating results for the six months that ended June 30, 2022 (https://ibn.fm/NjsJi). As an internationally focused cannabis company, the organization’s management acknowledged how challenging the current global cannabis environment is. However, it also lauded the team’s ability to deliver on plan and the overall company’s focus on its goals for the current financial year. The release indicated that Flora posted total revenue of $14.9 million for the first half of the 2022 fiscal year (“H1 2022”), 7x year-over-year (“YOY”) growth, and 2x sequential growth. This growth was attributed to Flora’s House of Brands division, which include the acquisitions of Vessel and JustCBD. The performance, according to the company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Luis Merchan, delivered on the company’s promise to double its revenue compared to H2 2021. “In the first half of 2022, Flora delivered on its promise to double revenue compared to the second half of 2021, and we expect to maintain that trajectory to deliver our full-year guidance as a result of continued growth in our House of Brands, the launch of several new brands in the United States and the commencement of sales in our Commercial Wholesale and Life Sciences business,” noted Mr. Merchan (https://ibn.fm/qHPbA). The company kicked off 2022 with the integration of both Vessel and JustCBD. It also saw the bolstering of its human resources following the appointment of former Director of Cannabis for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Holly Bell, as the Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. Flora also signed a distribution agreement with Giant OTG Management to offer access to JustCBD products in airports within the United States and strengthened its European presence by opening an office in London. All these investments, and more, have paid off significantly for the company, and its management believes that it has achieved a path to profitability. The company has reaffirmed its 2022 revenue guidance to range between $35 million and $45 million, representing growth of approximately 300% to 400% over 2021. “With all three of our core pillars generating revenue in the second half of 2022, continued gross margin expansion and a focus on streamlining operating expenses- we believe we have a path to profitability that few global cannabis companies can achieve in this difficult environment,” noted Mr. Merchan. “The execution of our key initiatives is a testament to our team’s ability to deliver on plan. We will continue to execute as we focus on profitability and long-term value creation,” he added (https://ibn.fm/qHPbA). Flora H1 2022 revenue increased to ~$15.0 million, up 604% from H1 2021 and 117% from H2 2021, driven by House of Brands. Gross Profit increased to ~$7.0 million, up 547% compared to H1 2021 and 363% compared to H2 2021. The company reaffirms its 2022 revenue guidance to range between $35.0 million – $45.0 million, indicating approximately 300% – 400% projected revenue growth from 2021. Going forward, the company is set to benefit from the addition of strategic management players in its team, such as Elshad Garayev, the new Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and Brandon Konigsberg, who serves on the Board of Directors as Chair of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Compensation Committee. Flora has also entered into an agreement with Pharma Indigena Misak Manasr Sas (“Manasr”), the largest indigenous tribe in Colombia, to commercialize and sell cannabis products domestically and internationally in partnership with the Misak people. This will further accentuate the company’s performance, particularly given the favorable regulatory tailwind that the company is experiencing already in Colombia. It will also play an integral role in achieving the projected revenue goals for the current financial year. In addition, a recent Zacks SCR report (https://ibn.fm/IRcHy) lists the following key positives for the company in light of their release:

• 1H22 augers well for meeting targets
• benefiting from cost advantages
• favorable regulatory environment

• The global cannabis market is expected to reach $33 billion by 2025, driven by legality and regulation within the market
• REZYFi is servicing the needs of both traditional and non-traditional consumers and businesses
• Company targets licensed and permitted cannabis companies, owners of real estate who lease to cannabis companies, and companies and individual homeowners seeking a variety of real estate-related first and additional mortgage-based financing
• REZYFi’s management team is leveraging its extensive industry experiences in real estate, finance and cannabis to pursue company objectives

The cannabis industry has experienced significant growth in recent years due to the expanding legalization and interest from venture capital firms. This growth is not only being seen in the United States but worldwide. Global cannabis sales are expected to increase from $13.4 billion in 2020 to $33 billion by 2025 (https://ibn.fm/GYkcJ). Legality and regulation are key forces that drive this market in the United States, but banking continues to be a challenge as cannabis companies cannot legally access traditional banking services. The Federal Reserve began raising interest rates in March 2022, which makes it even harder for cannabis companies to raise capital and fuel future growth. As a cannabis mortgage bank servicing the needs of both traditional and non-traditional consumers and businesses, REZYFi is targeting markets that include licensed and permitted cannabis companies, owners of real estate who lease to cannabis companies, and companies and individual homeowners seeking a variety of real estate-related first and additional mortgage-based and project-specific financings – like solar installations and real estate development projects. The company is positioned as one of the first cannabis mortgage bankers in the United States, an arena where most traditional lenders remain reticent to serve state-licensed cannabis companies. To overcome many of the challenges that the companies in the cannabis industry face, REZYFi plans to utilize its corporate strengths to facilitate growth, namely experience, a network of independent brokers, and proprietary technology. REZYFi’s experience comes from a management team with significant expertise that spans a wide range of real estate and financial sectors. This team also has extensive experience in the cannabis and hemp industries, which they will leverage as the company navigates the ever-changing cannabis industry landscape. Over the past five years, REZYFi has developed an extensive network of independent mortgage-related brokers and licensed loan officers, allowing the company to train network members on its new service offerings. REZYFi believes this network is a vital asset as it moves forward in an industry where other firms are abandoning the cause. These strengths, coupled with REZYFi’s proprietary automated/machine learning technology, can shorten the loan processing timeframes and increase overall efficiencies. This allows REZYFi to operate its legacy business at staffing levels meaningfully below its competitors. REZYFi operates through its two wholly owned subsidiaries from its base of operations in Miami, Florida. The first, REZYFi Lending, primarily addresses the emerging real estate-related financing opportunities within the targeted industry. The second, ResMac Inc., is the company’s traditional mortgage origination, correspondent and servicing option. These subsidiaries are licensed to serve 34 states, and the company plans to expand to the remaining 16 states later in 2022. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.REZYFi.com.

• Canadian clean energy and fertilizer innovator FuelPositive Corp. has launched its pre-sale application process for its long-awaited onsite, containerized green ammonia production system, capable of providing nitrogen fertilizer for a 2,000-acre farm
• The system is designed to deliver a solution to farmers’ dependence on uncertain supplies of fertilizer, as well as to eliminate the carbon emissions associated with the production of fertilizer
• In Europe, a number of large ammonia producers have severely reduced their supply as gas prices continue to soar as a consequence of Russia’s war on Ukraine and the industry’s dependence on Russian gas
• The reduction of European ammonia supply is expected to further exacerbate fears of food insecurity throughout nations already affected by declining agricultural production in Ukraine and Russia amid the war

The pending food insecurity crisis expected to arise from Russia’s war against Ukraine became more evident this summer as European fertilizer producers cut their output as a consequence of their dependence on Russian gas and Russia’s curbs on gas outflow to them because of the war’s economic strictures. An ocean away, Canadian clean energy and fertilizer solutions innovator FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) announced in August that it has begun accepting pre-sale applications for its technological solution that addresses the very type of challenge being evidenced in Europe — it’s an onsite, modular system for producing green, hydrogen-dense ammonia that farmers and other potential end users can adopt to locally generate and manage fertilizer and fuel without reliance on the vagaries of the fertilizer and fuel supply chain. The containerized green ammonia production system created by FuelPositive is currently being built for a pilot project on the Manitoba crop farm of Tracy and Curtis Hiebert, who became the first pre-sales order customers in April when they committed to purchase a commercial system after testing is completed on the first demonstration system on their farm (https://ibn.fm/0Ue3A). “The FuelPositive system will give us stability. That’s what we like about it. It’s stabilizing the supply and stabilizing the price,” Curtis Hiebert stated in an August news release about the pre-sale program (https://ibn.fm/ZLQNj). Under FuelPositive’s pre-sale terms, interested farmers will use a dedicated email address to express interest in the system and will receive an introductory call to discuss their application, objectives and conditions on their farm, according to the news release. FuelPositive will then create a proposal tailored to their individual requirements to help customers see what will be required of them to produce their own green ammonia with the system. The customers can then enter a pre-sales agreement and secure a position in the production line-up with a deposit. After further planning arrangements, “a sales agreement will be considered to formalize the order,” the news release states. In Europe, ammonia fertilizer production has dropped to about 33% of previous levels, according to estimates by industry researcher CRU Group. Bloomberg reported that Norwegian producer Yara International ASA recently slashed its ammonia utilization, close on the heels of CF Industries’ announcement it will stop ammonia production at its last remaining plant in the United Kingdom. Lithuania’s top fertilizer company Achema AB will temporarily stop ammonia production in September, joining in cuts or cessation of output by producers in Hungary and Poland (https://ibn.fm/gePfa). “It is becoming very obvious that the European energy market is bust,” Fertilizers Europe spokesperson Lukas Pasterski told Bloomberg after wholesale fertilizer prices soared to multiyear highs on commodities insecurity, began to recover, then rose again as gas prices increased. “The system in place fails to handle the current situation,” Pasterski said. The initial base system price for FuelPositive’s system will be CA$950,000, although individual farm conditions may cause the actual price to vary as clients consider adding options or potentially deducting from the base system, according to the company. Once it is produced at scale efficiency, the company also will be able to offer customers greater savings over carbon-intensive ammonia costs.
