• Innovators in food supply field have been developing new technologies such as indoor farms
• These game-changing micro-farms can be built anywhere
• ACTX is the exclusive distributor of GrowPods in the United States

With global supply chain issues grabbing headlines and impacting almost every industry, potential solutions in any sector are certain to capture attention. Hence Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX), the exclusive U.S. distributor of GrowPods, is definitely seeing interest in the environmentally controlled micro-farms that allow cultivation of ultraclean crops year-round. “Land preservation and regenerative organic agriculture practices are critical to solving food insecurity and combating climate change,” reported a recent GreenBiz article titled, “How Vertical and Indoor Farming Can Supplement the Food Supply Chain” (https://ibn.fm/BuJEm). The article pointed out, however, that land is limited. “That’s why innovators in the field have been developing new technologies such as indoor and vertical farms designed to supplement outdoor farming. “Indoor farming allows for certain foods to be grown hydroponically in a closed-loop environment year-round,” stated the article. The article went on to quote John Church, cohead of Food & Beverage for HSBC USA, who observed that “these systems often recirculate water, which can be more efficient than how water is used for other types of crops. Light and temperature can also be controlled, and since there is no exposure to pests, no chemistry is needed.” However, one of the most significant benefits of these farms, the article noted, “is that they can be built anywhere. That means food such as leafy greens can be grown closer to population centers. Because it travels fewer miles to the plate, the taste and texture of the output from indoor farms is often better than conventionally grown produce. “While indoor and vertical farming will not feed the world, Church believes it can supplement the supply chain,” the article states. “One leader in indoor farming, for instance, recently began construction of a research center in Abu Dhabi, UAE. ‘This is the perfect spot for a vertical indoor farm,’ he explained. Due to its arid environment, the conditions are not suitable for outdoor growing, so the country has historically imported its produce. Recently the UAE’s government publicly stated it wants to become more sustainable — and this solution will go a long way in helping it achieve that. These are only a few of the advantages that GrowPods, which are self-contained, automated, indoor micro-farms, offer users. These innovative containerized growing systems are designed with functionality and ease of use in mind. The pods are configured to optimize plant growth while minimizing labor; setup is quick and simple, no pesticides are needed, and the containers produce harvests all year long. Advanced Container Technologies is in the business of selling and distributing GrowPods, along with related equipment and supplies. Additionally, the company designs and sells patented, proprietary medical-grade plastic containers, known as the Medtainer(R), that store and grind pharmaceuticals, herbs, teas and other solids or liquids.

• Plans moving forward to begin drilling this month
• Depending on drill production, drilling of next 10 wells will follow
• Reserve report estimates value of production to be $41 million

Laredo Oil (OTC: LRDC) an exploration and production company specializing in conventional and enhanced oil recovery techniques targeting mature and declining oil fields, is one step closer to drilling its first well — the Olfert 11-4 — in the Lustre Oil Field. The company has been granted a drilling permit for the planned drilling to take place in the Western Williston Basin of Montana (https://ibn.fm/xrwS0) and plans are moving forward to begin drilling soon. “The Olfert 11-4 well is the first of 11 wells we have identified for completion in 2022,” said Laredo Oil chair and CEO Mark See. “Drilling there will commence as soon as possible; the drill rig is under contract and, depending on rig availability and weather, is scheduled for early May.” According to See, Laredo anticipates seeing initial production from this well as early as three weeks after spudding. Based on those production results, Laredo Oil will assess the viability of the program, which was outlined in the reserve report from Nov. 1, 2021 released by an independent petroleum engineering firm. “Assuming successful economic results from the completion of this first well, we intend to proceed to drill the next 10 wells, contingent upon successful completion of the fundraising efforts currently underway,” stated See. “And we are continuing to expand our mineral rights acreage portfolio in Montana to more fully realize on the opportunity that we believe exists there.” Laredo’s belief in the potential of the property is rooted in more than 35 years of offsetting production and the associated technical data in the field in addition to the reserve report it received last year (https://ibn.fm/Woo0o). The report estimated that interests of proved undeveloped, probable undeveloped and contingent reserves, along with forecasts of economics attributable to certain properties in the Western Williston Basin of Montana for oil interests acquired by Lustre Oil Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Laredo Oil, total $41 million of cumulative cash flow discounted at 10%. “This reserve report confirms the potential of the first 10 wells we have identified for completion in a small portion of the 28,496 acres where Lustre has acquired mineral rights in northeast Montana,” said See. “Based on this reserve report, I feel the field has much more potential for expansion.” The company’s focus in Montana aligns with its strategy, which is to aggressively pursue conventional oil development opportunities and acquire select mature oil fields where management believes that the company can profitably use its proprietary Underground Gravity Drainage(TM) method to recover stranded oil reserves. Laredo believes that these fields are undervalued and have the potential to be extremely productive. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Laredo-Oil.com.

• Cybin has selected Clinilabs Drug Development Corporation as CRO for its Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluating CYB003 for treating major depressive disorder (“MDD”)
• MDD impacts more than 264 million people worldwide, is a leading cause of mental disability worldwide
• Preclinical studies show CYB003 may have significant advantages over classic psilocybin

In a significant step forward in the study of alternative treatments for major depressive disorder, Cybin (NEO: CYBN) (NYSE American: CYBN) is moving forward in its phase 1/2a clinical trial of its proprietary deuterated psilocybin, CYB003 (https://ibn.fm/VTjoI). Based on previous research, CYB003 has the potential to effectively treat MDD with significant advantages over classic psilocybin. Cybin announced that it has selected Clinilabs Drug Development Corporation to support the clinical trial. Clinilabs is a global, full-service contract research organization with an impressive reputation for its expertise in central nervous system drug development. “We are delighted to partner with the Clinilabs team as we progress this important program toward a first-in-human Phase 1/2a trial,” said Cybin CEO Doug Drysdale. “Clinilabs brings a unique combination of scientific and operational experience and deep expertise in clinical research across a range of psychiatric, neurological, and substance use disorders. Clinilabs is ideally suited to help us accelerate the regulatory pathway for this promising treatment candidate and, ultimately, to treat those suffering from MDD effectively.” One of the most common mental disorders, MDD impacts more than 264 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of disability worldwide (https://ibn.fm/JclMj). More than 7% of all adult Americans have had a least one major depressive episode, with 63.8% of adults suffering severe impairment. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to struggle with depression. Serious side effects accompany many currently available treatments. With these staggering numbers as a backdrop, Cybin focuses on finding solutions for those whose lives are impacted by MDD and other mental and emotional disorders. The company has conducted a series of preclinical studies that demonstrate that CYB003 may have significant advantages over classic psilocybin, including less variability in plasma levels, faster onset of action, shorter duration of effect, and better tolerability, for an overall better outcome for patients. The company recently completed in vivo preclinical studies of CYB003. The company plans to file an investigational new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its upcoming Phase 1/2a clinical trial. The company anticipates initiating the trial mid-year. “Approximately one-third to one-half of people with MDD demonstrate an inadequate response to antidepressant drug treatment. Treatment options for these patients currently are limited to dose escalation, switching or combining antidepressants, or augmentation therapy, often with unsatisfactory results,” said Dr. Gary Zammit, Clinilabs president and CEO. “It is a privilege to be working with Cybin, an innovator in the development of novel psychedelic therapeutics, to conduct its first-in-human clinical trial of CYB003. This trial is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of CYB003 in patients with MDD and is among the first to evaluate a standardized psychedelic treatment regimen in this patient population.” Cybin is a leading ethical biopharmaceutical company, working with a network of world-class partners and internationally recognized scientists on a mission to create safe and effective therapeutics for patients to address a multitude of mental health issues. Headquartered in Canada and founded in 2019, Cybin is operational in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Cybin.com.

• “Metaverse refers to digital worlds in which people will gather to work, play and hang out,” explains CNET article
• Kronos is one of the earliest companies to design and soon open its own metaverse virtual store
• Emergen Research reports that metaverse market reached $47.69 billion in 2020, by 2028 could see a revenue CAGR of 43.3%

The metaverse is everywhere, popping up in entertainment and vying for news headlines. This immersive virtual world where people live, work, shop and interact through avatars once seemed like science fiction but is fast becoming a real-world fact. Savvy companies, including Kronos Advanced Technologies (OTC: KNOS), are jumping at the chance to be part of this leading-edge innovation. “A vision for the next step in the internet’s evolution, the metaverse refers to digital worlds in which people will gather to work, play and hang out,” a recent CNET tech article touted (https://ibn.fm/E7lli). “Some of those online spaces will be immersive 3D experiences and require fancy goggles to enjoy. Others will play out on a computer screen. “The term’s been in flux, and might still keep evolving and renaming itself,” the article continued. “Tech hype cycles come and go. The metaverse could fizzle before it’s even realized. As of yet, however, interest continues to grow. Across gaming, NFTs and shopping, it’s become a repeated buzzword.” The article points to Microsoft’s planned $69 billion acquisition of ActivisionBlizzard and Facebook’s rebranding itself as Meta, along with fascinating innovations in the world of gaming and computing, as evidence of the strengthening of “a years-long push to make these advances useful to everybody. “What’s changed is a shift in understanding, a conviction the internet needs to be reimagined,” the article stated. “How far-reaching those changes end up being is anyone’s guess. After all, the road map for the metaverse is half-paved. It isn’t clear it’ll be completed as promised. What’s for sure is that if there’s money to be made, big companies will be involved.” While Kronos Advanced Technologies isn’t as large as Microsoft or Facebook by any means, the company recognizes the potential. Late last year, KNOS, a revenue-generating product development and production company that has significantly changed the way air is moved, filtered, and sterilized, announced plans to build an e-commerce metaverse store (https://ibn.fm/6INxa). According to the announcement, the company noted that as more retailers accelerate their digital transformation, the metaverse has the potential to enable customers to meet up in digital environments, make the shopping experience more comfortable with the use of avatars, and facilitate creative collaboration between customers and companies. One of the earliest companies to design and open its own metaverse store, Kronos noted the similarity with companies that decades ago opened websites on the internet. Emergen Research recently released the Global Metaverse Market Research Report, an investigative report providing an extensive study of the global Metaverse market (https://ibn.fm/uJteK). According to the report, the metaverse market size reached $47.69 billion in 2020 and by 2028 is projected to see a revenue CAGR of 43.3%. “Rising focus on converging digital and physical worlds through the internet and the recent COVID-19 outbreak is expected to support market revenue growth between 2021 and 2028,” the report noted. “In addition, increasing emphasis on developing metaverse platforms for education industry will continue to boost revenue growth of the market.” KNOS president Michael Rubinov observed that shopping is all about the experience, noting that “our metaverse shopping portal would fit in organically with VR gaming and entertainment experiences. Video game companies like Epic Games and Roblox are already linked in that players can often buy accessories, apparel, or cryptocurrency within a game.” KNOS partnered with BOTS Inc. (OTC: BTZI) to develop its metaverse eCommerce store, a space where customers can browse products, test products, virtually buy and have products delivered to their homes. Kronos is planning to expand its product lines that will be specifically designed for the metaverse experience. Kronos is focused on next-generation, wellness consumer electronics products and PPE solutions. Originally founded in 2002 and funded by the U.S. military to develop electrostatic air movers, KNOS has since evolved into the consumer air-purification space, initially focusing on developing, marketing and selling its proprietary air movement and purification technology. Its proprietary technology is now also being implemented in multiple standalone products for businesses, homes and vehicles of all types to move, sterilize and filter air. Kronos Advanced Technologies is exploring broad ranges of additional markets for standalone and embedded Kronos CORE technology-based devices, including schools, universities, healthcare facilities, operating rooms, manufacturing clean rooms, automobiles and commercial aircraft cabins, and specialized air filters for bitcoin-mining farms.

• In its most recent oral nicotine study, Lexaria established that DehydraTECH-oral nicotine delivery peaked in bloodstream 10x to 20x faster than controls and peak levels achieved were up to 10x higher than controls
• Lexaria hopes to evidence in its upcoming human oral nicotine study NIC-H22-1, that processing purified nicotine with DehydraTECH leads to better oral-tissue absorption and reduced negative experiences compared to currently sold brands
• Lexaria’s DehydraTECH technology works with new and existing drugs, processing them into a final form that increases bioavailability, speeds up onset and improves effectiveness that can allow for smaller doses
• The company also recently announced new agreements with tobacco giant Altria for evaluation of some of its powder-based nicotine formulations

Technology innovator Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) has developed a drug delivery technology designed to increase bio-absorption, reduce time of onset and mask unwanted tastes of a wide variety of medicines and therapeutics. In exploring the potential of its patented DehydraTECH(TM) technology, which uses a proprietary process to render active pharmaceutical ingredients into a readily absorbable final form, Lexaria has investigated DehydraTECH’s effectiveness in various markets such as hypertension, antivirals and oral nicotine to name a few, with outstanding results. Another important area of study has focused on nicotine alternatives to replace smoking. This summer, the Company will begin a human clinical study, NIC-H22-1, which will dose a minimum of 36 people to compare Lexaria’s DehydraTECH-nicotine pouch performance with that of existing brands such as ON! and Zyn currently sold in the United States, drawing on existing capital to fund the study (https://ibn.fm/Afcaq). Animal testing has already demonstrated that DehydraTECH-nicotine can deliver peak nicotine performance to the bloodstream 10 to 20 times faster than the study’s controls (https://ibn.fm/Nfn2Q). In March, the company received its first ever patent granted to use DehydraTECH to deliver nicotine more efficiently through buccal tissue absorption in Australia (https://ibn.fm/r4Tl6). Buccal tissue is the type of tissue in your mouth and throat, allowing for the nicotine to be primarily absorbed before it enters the stomach. Similar patent filings have been made in the U.S. and in the EU and Lexaria believes those potential patent awards could support significant competitive advantages in the nicotine white pouch category, as well as other oral nicotine product formats. The FDA has long resisted formal authorization of smokeless alternatives to tobacco consumption because of concerns about their capacity to lure youths into addiction. “Anyone who does not currently use tobacco products, especially youth, should refrain from doing so,” Acting FDA Commissioner Ned Sharpless, M.D., said in relation to the agency’s authorization for some “Modified Risk Tobacco Products” to be marketed as a safer alternative to smoking in recent months. But in 2019, Swedish smokeless brand General became the first in the long history of the FDA to ever win that marketing allowance. (https://ibn.fm/3VIC9). Lexaria has long held that any form of inhaling chemical substances can be detrimental to health, and its DehydraTECH-nicotine aims to help vapers as well as smokers wean themselves off of those products, giving them relief from cravings while offering a safer nicotine alternative. “My father also died from lung cancer … so I am no fan (of smoking),” CEO Chris Bunka told Forbes in 2019 (https://ibn.fm/3I6V0). “The fact that (DehydraTECH) is fast means that smokers might not be frustrated waiting for their nicotine experience to begin, the way they have been with traditional nicotine products such as gums and lozenges.” The company is working with the tobacco industry, and recently announced new agreements with tobacco giant Altria Client Services, LLC in which Lexaria will receive a fee to provide certain DehydraTECH powder-based nicotine formulations to Altria for evaluation (https://ibn.fm/Lttmz).

• Up to $400 million has been made available to support food purchases with emphasis on purchasing from underserved farmers, ranchers
• Agency strengthens efforts to provide emergency food assistance, expand economic opportunity
• ACTX GrowPods could be valuable tool in effort to build resilient local, regional food-production capabilities

In an effort to provide transform the food system and build a better food system after the global pandemic exposed weaknesses in the system, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) established a Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (“LFPA”) last year (https://ibn.fm/cXurt). Advanced Container Technologies (OTC: ACTX), a company focused on the business of developing, manufacturing and selling advanced cultivation equipment, proprietary packaging systems, and a variety of other products, is ideally suited to help meet the needs of the new USDA initiative to build a new and more equitable food system (https://ibn.fm/uj0th). According to the USDA announcement, up to $400 million in funding has been made available to support food purchases with an emphasis on purchasing from underserved farmers and ranchers. “Also as part of the Build Back Better Food System Transformation Initiative, USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service is announcing the availability of up to $50 million in funds provided by the American Rescue Plan for the Emergency Food Assistance Program (“TEFAP”) Reach and Resiliency grants to state agencies to expand program access in rural, tribal, and other currently underserved areas,” the agency states. “These grants and the LFPA are both part of USDA’s robust and ongoing support for food banks and the broader emergency food system.” “One of the lessons from COVID-19 is that the current food system is too rigid, consolidated and fragile,” the agency stated when it announced established the program. “These cooperative agreements will help state, tribal and local entities purchase food more efficiently from local producers and invest in infrastructure that enables partner organizations to reach underserved communities more effectively. “As we build back better than we were before, we will strengthen our efforts to provide emergency food assistance and expand economic opportunity for historically underserved producers by allowing state and tribal governments to buy and distribute local and regional foods and beverages that are healthy, nutritious and unique to their geographic area.” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack noted that the program “will help get local and regional agricultural products into schools, food banks and other nutritional assistance programs, and organizations that reach underserved communities. It also advances our efforts to ensure that historically underserved populations gain equal access to USDA resources through a combination of grants, loans, pilot programs, technical assistance, cooperative agreements, and more.” According to Advanced Container Technologies, its GrowPods — modular hydroponic greenhouses — could become a valuable tool in this effort to build more resilient local and regional food production capabilities. “With GrowPods, cultivation can be moved directly into the areas where food is needed,” the company noted. “Additionally, locating the pods nearer to the point of consumption allows food to be harvested at its peak nutritional value, and greatly reduces the carbon and environmental impact of the nation’s current food chain, which relies on trucks carrying mass quantities of produce across the country.” GrowPods offer a controlled environment with major advantages for the production of high-value crops. The ability to grow crops year-round while cultivating in a smaller footprint using less resources make the systems particularly well suited for programs such as the LFPA. ACTX is the exclusive distributor of GrowPods in certain markets. The company also provides a variety of other products and services, including packaging solutions for medicinal, pharmaceutical, and agricultural products.

• LRDC Exec Mark See discussed management, focus and strategy during recent podcast interview
• Short supply, increasing demand means simple business plan
• Laredo is acquiring assets that are “smaller but meaningful,” says CEO

Laredo Oil (OTC: LRDC) chair and CEO Mark See was the featured guest in a recent Bell2Bell Podcast (https://ibn.fm/2e8xL). A seasoned veteran of the oil and gas sector, See talked shop with host Stuart Smith throughout the interview, discussing Laredo management, focus and strategy. “Our business is very simple. . . profitably produced domestic oil – that’s our business,” See said. “The executives and board members of Laredo have, on average, 30 to 40 years of experience in the oil and gas business. The conclusion that we came to [when founding the company more than 11 years ago] is that . . . we’re short on supply and demand is constantly increasing.” See observed that the curve is driven by social, political and ESG factors, but the fundamentals are still there. “We looked at this and said, ‘What’s a niche for an oil producer and this outlook for the future considering that some of the largest businesses in the world are oil and gas producers?’” See asked — then answered his own question. “Our niche was twofold,” he stated. “We’ve identified over 20 billion barrels of oil in the United States that the majors and larger independents left behind. Additionally, the large independents and majors have to deploy capital in large quantities – billions of dollars at a time. “That presents an opportunity for quality assets that they just go by,” See continued. “That was our strategy when we formed Laredo, to prove up our Underground Gravity Drainage(TM) (‘UGD’) technology to recover some of these 20 billion barrels of stranded oil in the United States and also to acquire and operate underutilized smaller assets. The product of those parallel paths is what the company did over the last 11 years.” See provided a brief summary, noting that currently Laredo has spent more than $100 million on R&D to develop UGD. “And that’s our long-term strategy,” See remarked. “Our short-term strategy focuses on underutilized assets allowing us to come in, operate, increase production, drive down costs and be profitable in the oil business. “We are acquiring assets that are smaller but very meaningful to a company of our size,” he continued. “That’s our focus. We’ve been successful in acquiring this acreage and operating these underutilized assets. It’s our approach — simplicity versus complexity. With complexity there’s risk. . . . simplicity lets us de-risk. . . . It’s more executable.” The Bell2Bell Podcast is part of a sustained effort to provide specialized content distribution via widespread syndication channels. The program delivers informative updates and exclusive interviews with executives operating in fast-moving industries. Laredo Oil Inc. is an exploration and production company specializing in conventional and enhanced oil recovery techniques targeting mature and declining oil fields. In addition to pursuing conventional oil recovery methods in selected oil fields, Laredo Oil plans to use its unique UGD model wherever applicable to profitably recover stranded oil reserves previously thought to be incapable of economic recovery.

• Correlate focuses on enabling building owners to reduce their facilities’ energy use or install clean energy solutions such as solar energy
• The company designs, engineers, finances, and builds such solutions and other upgrades, enabling owners, who may include real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), to meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) targets
• Investors are increasingly conscious about whether companies espouse ESG values, and Correlate is helping REITs fulfill such requirements
• Recently, Correlate announced it has entered a contract for a major rooftop solar energy project in New Jersey

Correlate Infrastructure Partners (OTCQB: CIPI) is a portfolio-scale real estate platform focused on eliminating barriers for large-scale property owners looking to optimize their buildings’ energy footprint and meet their sustainability goals. The company recognizes that while owners understand that they can reduce energy use by installing better technologies or meet their sustainability objectives by generating clean energy onsite, they face a decision-making dilemma. Usually, property owners find it difficult to establish the right approach. The company has therefore modeled its operations around this problem. First, correlate uses technology to assess buildings to identify solutions that can be deployed therein. Next, it provides the capital needed to make the necessary updates. And once the installations and upgrades are complete, its team monitors the buildings 24/7 and maintains the technologies to ensure they are in top-notch shape throughout the service life. Correlate’s focus on offering solutions that help building owners to meet their sustainability goals and reduce the energy consumed by tenants in their facilities could not have come at a better time, given the rising wave of consciousness around Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) values. Vast swathes of investors are increasingly looking to invest in companies that espouse ESG, giving rise to ESG investing. According to the CFA Institute, ESG investors are commonly motivated by the desire to “incorporate ethical principles, values, or religious beliefs into investment decisions; avoid ESG risks that may negatively affect the value of investments; mitigate the negative impacts of investments on the environment and other people; and contribute, wholly or partially, to the attainment of specific, positive, measurable, or social outcomes” (https://ibn.fm/nivGi). Correlate’s business model allows scores of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) – companies that finance, operate, or own income-generating real estate – to implement ESG initiatives and, by extension, partially or wholly fulfill ESG investors’ requirements. With a recent report by Nareit showing that such companies continue to be at the forefront of sustainable building innovation (https://ibn.fm/T0Cye) by, among other things, increasingly using onsite renewables, Correlate’s offerings are enabling them to meet their ESG targets, whilst simultaneously saving up on energy costs and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Just recently, Correlate Infrastructure Partners announced it had entered an agreement valued at more than $2 million for a major rooftop solar energy project in New Jersey. The company has designed, engineered, and will finance and construct the project, which is expected to be operational in Q4 2022 (https://ibn.fm/VrrBK). “Corporate America is stepping up their measurable actions to meet investor-driven ESG mandates,” said Correlate President and CEO Todd Michaels, “and why wouldn’t they, it’s tremendously profitable for them. In New Jersey, our clients will typically save at least 20% on day one while converting 70% of the facility’s electricity use to carbon-free solar energy. With Correlate, customers put up zero capital and simply get cheaper, clean power at a fixed price. That’s an infinite return.” On his part, Correlate CFO Channing Chen stated that private real estate investment groups across the country are actively seeking the company’s services. “They are experiencing volatile energy costs that are adversely affecting their profitability and need a real strategy and execution vehicle to reduce their GHG emissions. We believe that our solutions solve two problems for our clients, while conforming to their corporate procurement rules. It’s a true game changer for those on the sidelines looking to catch up,” Chen added. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.CorrelateInfra.com.
