Growth of Point-of-care Lab Testing Means Blue Sky Opportunity for Avricore Health Inc. (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF) as its Platform Continues to Roll Out

  • Pharmacy services developer Avricore Health is establishing a network of lab-grade testing and reporting for select medical conditions through neighborhood pharmacy stores
  • Such neighborhood POC store solutions building empowers patients to work with trained pharmacy professionals in monitoring select health conditions, including virus exposure
  • Viruses have become a focal point of health response efforts during the past two years as COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 infections have claimed millions of lives and sickened scores of others
  • Avricore has thus far established its pilot program in Canada’s eastern Ontario province and western British Columbia province, anticipating strong growth of the HealthTab network in Canada and internationally in 2023
The global COVID health crisis has illuminated the importance of the medical sciences like never before as the populations of virtually every nation have monitored news updates on the progress of infectious disease rates, visited local health departments to receive vaccinations, and debated the effectiveness of health policy measures on social media. The vaccination efforts by local health departments have extended to the street, with mobile shot clinics and education strategies independent of primary caregiver offices. In real time, the organization of the COVID response plan has demonstrated the potential of point-of-care (“POC”) testing and POC analysis of lab results. Americans interested in the advent of COVID-19 home test kits have overwhelmed resources in many places, particularly as the holiday season has generated a spike in family and neighbor gatherings to celebrate, leading major pharmacy chains to ration individual purchases of the kits (https://ibn.fm/aEalA). Avricore Health (TSX.V: AVCR) (OTCQB: AVCRF) is a health diagnostics solutions innovator dedicated to expanding access to lab-grade medical test results for a wide variety of medical conditions, including potential COVID analysis. Avricore’s trademarked HealthTab platform brings together a baker’s list of corporate resources that make up the recipe for patients’ active participation in their own medical care. Multinational medical devices and health care company Abbott Laboratories has agreed to let Avricore distribute its handheld blood chemistry analyzer, for example, under Avricore’s pilot rollout of its accessible lab test program at several Canadian Shoppers Drug Mart pharmacies, using Abbott’s trademarked ID Now kiosks. HealthTab provides the nerve fibers through which the program’s messages travel. “We‘ve demonstrated a unique resilience by remaining focused on our goal of creating the world’s largest rapid testing network in pharmacy,” Avricore Health CEO Hector Bremner stated earlier this year (https://ibn.fm/9Rk8q). “We are well on our way to making actionable health information more accessible for everyone and dramatically expanding our network in the coming months.” In the process, Avricore is simultaneously rewarding patients interested in maintaining their well-being and pharmacies concerned about their bottom line, particularly in Canada where passage of the Pan-Canadian Select Molecule Price Initiative for Generic Drugs in 2018 turned out to be a money-losing effort for the corner drug stores as it reduced retail margins in reimbursements. The HealthTab platform provides lab results for monitoring pre-diabetes and cardiovascular conditions, as well as viruses such as COVID’s SARS-CoV-2, RSV, influenza A and B, and strep. As enthusiasm for point-of-care testing continues to grow, patients find it easier to visit a neighborhood pharmacy and monitor their blood chemistry on a regular basis to identify concerns in regard to their own conditions.

StraightUp Resources Inc. (CSE: ST) (OTCQB: STUPF) Increasing Gold, Silver Mining Assets, as Investors Eye Precious Metals To Counter Inflation

  • StraightUp is expected to benefit from increased interest in precious metals as investors, traders, and savers rush into gold and silver markets to hedge against inflation, which has risen to its highest point since 1982
  • Economists expect that the strong inflation will continue driving buyers into gold and other precious metals
  • StraightUp is acquiring various gold and silver mineral property assets in historically prolific regions of both North and South America
The latest data released December 10 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics show the US inflation rate rose to 6.8%, its highest point since 1982, on the back of higher housing, food, and gas prices. The price hikes are attributable to the pandemic, which disrupted and continues to affect manufacturing and shipping. At the same time, Americans have more cash to spend due to the US government’s stimulus payment program. This has burdened supply chains even further, bumping up inflation numbers (https://ibn.fm/90wSw). Economists are, however, wary that the country’s inflation is no longer in the “transitory” ballpark. Instead, they opine that the Federal Reserve (“the Fed”), which is congressionally mandated to tame inflation, is losing control of the impermanence narrative of the current hot figures. Ironically, the Fed is said to be eager to see inflation numbers move even higher because that would make otherwise unsustainable debt loads more sustainable by reducing their real value – borrowing vast amounts of money is appealing provided interest rates remain below the inflation rate. But according to a recent Money Metals article (https://ibn.fm/OwttD), this presents a challenge. The write-up observes that debt can work out great for leveraged speculators in financial markets until it no longer does. “At some point, interest rates will rise… Asset classes that have been heavily bid up by leveraged speculation include stocks, real estate, and even cryptocurrency. When the next round of deleveraging takes hold, these and other financial assets will be vulnerable to forced selling. By contrast, precious metals markets have seen very little speculative buying of late,” the article reads. The article notes that as inflation eats away the value of financial assets, hard assets such as gold and silver are likely to garner the attention of investors. In November, in spite of normal and expected ups and downs, gold prices rallied to a near-five-month high after high consumer price data prompted people to buy gold as a hedge against inflation (https://ibn.fm/xFXOJ). Economists expect that strong inflation will continue to drive buyers into gold, while others observe that the Fed’s hands are tied – any remedial efforts are only likely to compound the situation. As this happens, the gold market is expected to continue on a bullish trend, with the resultant price rally expected to benefit StraightUp Resources (CSE: ST) (OTCQB: STUPF), a public company engaged in mineral exploration as well as the acquisition of mineral property assets with significant potential in North and South America. Its North American assets are spread across the United States and Canada, with some of its properties – the RLX North and RLX South – located in the prolific Red Lake Mining District, which boasts a rich history having produced more than 30 million ounces of gold (https://ibn.fm/VS3rd). The company also has other key projects – the Bear Head Gold Project and Ferdinand Gold Project – extending along the same Greenstone Belt into the neighboring Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt located in Uchi Subprovince. In addition, in September, StraightUp acquired the historic West Cat Mine in Nevada that includes an unpatented lode mining claim in the historic Beatty Mountain Nevada Mining District (https://ibn.fm/bmGsN). In October, the company secured a right of exclusivity to negotiate an agreement to acquire Premier Silver Corp (“PSC”), which owns one of the largest silver mining land packages as well as a processing plant in Peru, collectively known as the Mallay assets (https://ibn.fm/zq96t). The property was developed, capitalized, and permitted by Buenaventura (NYSE: BVN), a multibillion-dollar globally recognized mining company that adheres to the highest industry standards. As an asset, Mallay offers a high level of operationality. It put PSC, which acquired it in 2020, in a unique position to provide the market-leveraged exposure to the silver industry. StraightUp’s potential acquisition of PSC is expected to have a similar effect. With assets capable of producing silver and gold, StraightUp appears poised to benefit from the inflation-triggered interest in precious metals as investors, savers, and traders seek alternatives to cash.

BevCanna has recorded a number of operational highlights over the past few weeks, contributing to the company’s top-line revenue growth – a key driver of which has been the obtention of initial product listings and purchase orders from the British Columbia Liquor Distribution Branch (“BCLDB”), Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission and the Ontario Cannabis Store, which in turn have resulted in shipments to British Columbia and Ontario delivered over the course of the quarter.

  • Businesses that stay ahead of the technology curve and provide their distributors with appropriate technology tools and support are likely to see success
  • SHRG is focused on technology being a strength in company principles and values
The gig economy is growing at an ever-increasing rate, according to Direct Selling News, which recently reported on leading trends in the gig space (https://ibn.fm/73zQ9). Companies such as Sharing Services Global (OTCQB: SHRG) that are leading the way in top trends may be set to benefit from the gig economy explosion. “That the gig economy is growing at an ever-increasing rate is an irrefutable fact,” the Direct Selling News article reported. “With more than 57 million Americans involved and $1.4 trillion+ changing hands annually, the gig economy reflects people’s desires for more flexible work opportunities and greater freedom as to how, when and where work is performed.” The article notes broad trends in the gig economy space that have specific implications for direct selling. One of the top trends is the tendency for gig work to be carried out through online platforms. “This movement, due to both technology advances and the increasing adoption of online platforms by a variety of companies — both large and small — also would seem to bode well for direct selling [companies] whose distributors work from home,” the article observed. “Online-related gigs would appear to have the potential to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the direct selling process if direct selling companies can stay ahead of the technology curve and provide their distributors with appropriate technology tools and support.” Sharing Services appears to be particularly well positioned to make the most of this trend. “Technology must always be a strength,” states SHRG in outlining company principles and values (https://ibn.fm/CML5B). “Being a public traded company, the quality of internal decisions determines the quality and success of outcomes.

StorEn Technologies Inc. Partnership Part of ‘New Era’ for Australia’s Battery Storage Industry

  • The project allows researchers to test and develop safety standards for vanadium flow batteries
  • StorEn provided 30kWhr battery through partnership Multicom Resources Limited
  • Industry expert reports that a switch to vanadium batteries and other renewables could save the Australian industry more than $1.6 billion a year
StorEn Technologies, a developer of evolutionary vanadium flow batteries with a disruptive patent-pending, all-vanadium flow battery technology, is involved in a project that could save Australia more than $1 billion a year (https://ibn.fm/2idBg). A key player in the project, Shay Chalmers, recently wrote about the “exciting collaboration” that focused on converting to vanadium flow batteries. “We have entered a new era for Australia’s developing battery storage industry, thanks to an exciting collaboration and project I’m involved in,” Chalmers reported. “Led by Future Battery Industries CRC, with QUT, research partners, state and federal government, the project allows researchers to test and develop safety standards for vanadium flow batteries. This is being conducted at Freedom’s Vanadium Flow Battery Pilot Manufacturing plant, the National Battery Testing Centre. . . . The 30kWhr battery was provided by Multicom Resources Limited in partnership with StorEn Technologies Inc., based in the U.S., as part of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (“ARENA”)-funded H2Xport project at QUT for use in their renewable hydrogen plant.” Chalmers has been working with StorEn’s Australian partner Multicom Resources and a global team on the completion of a feasibility study regarding the construction of a StorEn manufacturing plant in Australia. The study will also examine the establishment of local manufacturing supply chains for the innovative vanadium batteries designed by StorEn. An engineering management professional with years of global experience in the manufacturing environment, Chalmers has held leadership roles in a steel mill in the United States and with Cook Medical in production, process engineering and project management. “A switch to vanadium batteries and other renewables could save the Australian industry over $1.6 billion a year,” she continued. “We are excited to see the opportunities this project will bring to our local manufacturing community. Cutting-edge technology developments such as this highlight the benefits of university and industry collaboration. We can leverage this opportunity to create strong local supply chains through the manufacture of future energy components. With the strong government support, now is the time to collaborate and get these types of projects across the line.” StorEn Technologies has developed evolutionary vanadium flow batteries. Incubated at the Clean Energy Business Incubator Program (“CEBIP”) within Stony Brook University in New York, the company is building upon the strengths of vanadium flow batteries to revolutionize the world of residential and industrial energy storage. In part, StorEn’s technology has enhanced the electrical efficiency of the stack and energy density of the electrolyte and module, ultimately reducing costs and improving performance. The company produces products with a battery life of 25 years and more than 15K cycles. That company takes pride in offering batteries that meet consumers demand for efficient, durable and cost-effective energy storage, enabling self-consumption of self-produced electricity and the transition toward a carbon-free economy.

FuelPositive Corp.’s (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) CEO’s Tactical Leader Interview; Appointment of Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle as new Agriculture Sector Advisor

  • FuelPositive’s CEO recently appeared on The Tactical Leader podcast, where he shared a background into the company, along with a brief history of himself
  • He also talked about the company’s values and what it plans to achieve going forward, particularly from an environmental advocacy and action standpoint
  • The company also announced the appointment of Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle, a professor and researcher at the University of Guelph
  • Dr. Wagner-Riddle will play a key role in helping the company qualify its first pilot project partners in 2022
Ian Clifford, the Board Chair, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Founder of FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) recently appeared on The Tactical Leader podcast, where he shared snippets of his life story, background on the company, and vision for the enterprise going forward. The Tactical Leader, hosted by Zack A. Knight, a former SWAT operator, police officer, U.S. Army veteran, and entrepreneur, offers a platform for entrepreneurs to share their triumphs and personal stories. Most notably, Mr. Clifford highlighted starting as a photography assistant for Ansel Adams at only 17 years old, a significant moment in his life that created an environmental vision and a “way of looking at the world that was very different” (https://ibn.fm/wqOVg). He also talked about the critical values of the company: accountability, commitment, and kindness, which he noted have been integral in taking the company to where it is today in under a year, primarily since it is only comprised of 12 people but with huge aspirations. “We’re now 12 people. We’re a tiny company in terms of the number of people, but our aspirations are huge. We’ve built this phenomenal team of people as a result of that (commitment to values). We’re very forward with our mission and our values….we’re really serious about that,” he noted. Since its inception in January 2021, FuelPositive has been vocal about environmental conservation. Its flagship green ammonia technology is geared towards solving vital ecological concerns, mainly with CO2 emissions associated with the traditional manufacturing and distribution of ammonia. In the podcast, Mr. Clifford reckoned that environmental preservation and conservation remain at the core of FuelPositive’s operation. “We’re tiny, but have huge influence. This is why we look seriously at the impact of every step of our technology, not just the outcome of the product being carbon-free or non-polluting…We’re passionate about that,” he added. This commitment to conserving the environment and having as little impact on it as possible, especially in the agricultural sector, has seen FuelPositive appoint Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle as its charter agriculture sector advisor. Dr. Wagner-Riddle, a professor and researcher at the University of Guelph, shares the same passion as FuelPositive to reduce the planet’s carbon footprint. She lends her years of experience as a professor and as a researcher, particularly from an internationally-renowned research program that utilizes the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions to determine the carbon footprint of food, fuel, and feed produced by agriculture. “I am pleased to be working with FuelPositive- a young Canadian company whose technologies and products have the potential of making a significant impact on the reduction of greenhouse gases. We share the same passion to reduce our carbon footprint and I’m thrilled that my experience has direct relevance to inform the FuelPositive team members as they build and begin to market their green ammonia production systems,” she noted (https://ibn.fm/M11aH). Dr. Wagner-Riddle’s appointment comes just in time as the company is building its first full-sized green ammonia production units to launch several “real world” demonstration pilot projects throughout 2022. She will play an integral role in helping the company qualify its first pilot project partners. “It is our belief that the best way to deliver excellence is to invite excellent people to join our team. We are delighted to have Dr. Wagner-Riddle advising us, as we build our green ammonia production systems, to help farmers reduce their carbon footprint and take control of their fertilizer and fuel supply,” noted Mr. Clifford. “Her knowledge of the impact of farming on the environment and the impact that climate change has on farming is already ensuring we are making the right decisions to provide the maximum benefit to farmers,” he added.

Energy Fuels (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) is partnering with Nanoscale Powders LLC (“NSP”) with plans to develop a novel technology for the production of rare earth elements (“REE”) metals (https://ibn.fm/FO5x2). In the announcement, Energy Fuels noted that the Nanoscale’s patented rare earth metal-making technology has potential to revolutionize the rare earth metal space. “We believe this technology, which was initially developed by NSP, and will be advanced by the company and NSP working together, has the potential to revolutionize the rare earth metal making industry by reducing costs of production, reducing energy consumption, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” the company stated when announcing the execution of the memorandum of understanding (“MOU”). “Producing REE metals and alloys is a key step in a fully integrated REE supply chain, after production of separated REE oxides and before the manufacture of neodymium iron boron magnets used in electric vehicles, wind generation and other clean energy and advanced technologies.” The country’s leading uranium mining company, in 2021 Energy Fuels began making its mark in the REE sector. A newcomer to the space, UUUU is committed to building a new, environmentally friendly REE supply chain in the United States, and the company has made impressive progress, including beginning production of an intermediate rare earth product more advanced than any other U.S. company today. The agreement with NSP is another important step in Energy Fuels’ commitment to this new venture. NSP initially started as a company focused on producing solar-quality silicon metals and refractory metal powders. However, the company eventually began turned its attention to the production of titanium and alloy powders through sodium reduction before its most recent breakthrough — the development of an innovative process to create REE metals from REE oxides. The partnership between the two companies appears ideal, with NSP bringing its tech to the table while Energy Fuels contributes the rare earth material and industrial-scale processing facility. At its White Mesa Mill in Utah, UUUU is currently producing mixed REE carbonate while recovering uranium from natural monazite sands, which are produced as a low-cost byproduct of heavy mineral sands mining in the U.S. and around the globe. Energy Fuels’ REE carbonate is the most-advanced REE product being produced in the country today. According to the MOU, the two companies will create a new entity that will hold an exclusive license to the technology as it specifically relates to REE metal making. The agreement outlines phased development of the project, with Energy Fuels having the right to earn up to a 100% interest in the entity and technology. UUUU will be providing more than $1 million in funding for the project to begin with; in addition, the company agreed to fund future approved annual budgets as required for commercialization of the project, up to a maximum total expenditure of $10 million over three years. “Metal-making is a critical step in the rare earth supply chain,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers. “Energy Fuels has already restored monazite ‘crack-and-leach’ capabilities to the U.S. at our White Mesa Mill in Utah, where today we are producing a high-purity mixed rare earth carbonate, which is ready for separation. No other company in the U.S. is currently producing a high-purity REE product ready for separation at commercial levels. We are also quickly moving toward adding solvent extraction separation equipment at the Mill and associated permitting that will allow us to produce commercial separated rare earth oxide powders in the coming years. In fact, we are already well advanced with piloting these capabilities on a continuous 24/7 basis at the mill today. “The next step in rare earth processing and refining is turning those separated rare earth oxide powders into usable rare earth metals and alloys, particularly NdPr metal needed for NdFeB magnets used in EVs, wind generation and other technologies,” Chalmers continued. “If successful, Nanoscale’s metal-making technology could be orders of magnitude safer and less expensive than the current established technology. This is the type of technology we as Americans need to develop to produce advanced rare earth materials in a cost-competitive manner, while achieving the highest standards of protection of public health, safety and the environment. Nanoscale Powders has proven their technology on a small scale, and we look forward to working with them to advance the technology to pilot scale, and then to commercial scale in the coming years. Our relationship with Nanoscale Powders demonstrates Energy Fuels’ commitment to fully integrating a domestic REE processing supply chain in the most optimal and environmentally prudent manner possible.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.EnergyFuels.com.
