Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) Poised to Profit from China’s Transformation

  • China’s economy is now world’s 2nd largest – set to overtake the U.S. this century
  • 695 million+ mobile internet users create new Chinese consumer
  • Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) platforms convert online users to retail customers

The roots of modern capitalist China are curiously and inexorably linked to the 1949 foundation of the People’s Republic of China by communist revolutionary Mao Zedong. In spite of horrific atrocities, Mao is still credited for modernizing China and building it into a world power as China’s population grew from around 550 million to over 900 million under his leadership. Mao seized control of China after a brutal civil war and held power until his death in 1976. Many of his socialist policies such as promoting the status of women, improving education and health care, and increasing life expectancy actually integrate and underpin today’s Chinese economic model. Since inception, the People’s Republic of China has surreptitiously and steadily embraced the tenets of capitalism, especially since economic reforms were enacted in 1978.

Succeeding Mao, Deng Xiaoping, a Communist Party veteran, was eager to adopt capitalist methods and reforms to try to stimulate economic growth and restore confidence in the party. Deng launched several economic reforms that allowed private sectors to start and operate their own businesses again. He also established four special economic zones along the coast of China with intentions of attracting foreign investments. Due to the reforms Deng put in place, China has gone from being a country that opposed capitalism to one that embraces property rights, profits and free market competition.

Today, China’s economy is the second-largest in the world and is likely to overtake the U.S. sometime this century. The country is in the process of transforming itself from a global center of low-tech manufacturing into a major hub of innovation and consumption.

Computer usage in China has exploded. There are now over 730 million internet users in China and over 95 percent, 695 million+, use mobile devices for internet access. This massive increase of computer users in China creates both challenges and opportunities.

To capture the immense new opportunities in China’s changing consumer market, companies must become more strategic in targeting income segments, product categories, and retail channels. To succeed, it’s imperative that companies take into account rapid shifts in consumer consumption patterns. Serving the businesses that feed Chinese consumer demand, Moxian, Inc.

InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF) Targeting Blockbuster Therapeutics

The medical efficacy of cannabinoids to treat a multiplicity of maladies is no longer in doubt. Two recently published scientific studies dispelled any apprehensions about cannabis-based therapies. The highly respected New England Journal of Medicine published a peer reviewed article that proved in a controlled study that cannabidiol dramatically reduced the number of convulsive seizures in children stricken with a severe epileptic disorder (http://dtn.fm/hUy56). The results of this study follow a comprehensive report by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine which confirmed that cannabinoids are effective at treating chronic pain and for providing relief from nausea and vomiting related to chemo treatments. Multiple other medicinal marijuana therapies are undergoing scientific review, including two potential blockbuster therapies in development by InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF) for glaucoma and epidermolysis bullosa, a devastating genetic skin disease that afflicts up to 20 million newborns in varying degrees of severity.

Utilizing its proprietary bioinformatics assessment tool, InMed’s unique research approach can expedite identification of bioactive compounds that have the potential to significantly impact specific diseases. Using comprehensive algorithms and extensive databases, the company’s exclusive computer-based program can scrutinize, analyze and identify novel cannabinoids to determine potential new drug candidates that maximize therapeutic benefit and minimize adverse effects.

SinglePoint’s (SING) $1M Promissory Note Furthers Efforts to Offer Bitcoin Payment Solution for Cannabis Businesses

Furthering its efforts to innovate solutions for the cannabis industry, SinglePoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) has taken a step forward in its endeavor to offer a bitcoin payments solution for cannabis businesses through its partnership with First Bitcoin Capital Corp. (OTC: BITCF). SinglePoint recently announced (http://dtn.fm/Mq8ah) it has successfully closed a $1 million convertible promissory note with an institutional investor — the proceeds from which will be used to fund the company’s bitcoin payments endeavor and will enable SinglePoint to move quickly in developing a cryptocurrency solution and continuing its acquisitions activities in the cannabis space.

A lack of banking options for legalized marijuana businesses in the United States currently poses a significant obstacle for these cannabis enterprises, forcing them to conduct cash transactions because they do not have the cooperation of banks or the FDIC to accept credit and debit cards. Seeing bitcoin technology as a potential solution for this problem, SinglePoint recently partnered with First Bitcoin Capital to develop a proprietary bitcoin payment solution that can be implemented in any point-of-sale machine through an easy download and will allow customers to purchase cannabis products using debit and credit cards without the backing of banks or the FDIC.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that enables the transfer of funds in a way that is unregulated by governments and is conducted independent of banks. It is growing in popularity and even recently became an official payment method in Japan. As a potential solution for currently “unbankable” cannabis business, SinglePoint’s bitcoin solution is an exciting prospect.

Four developments have been planned by SinglePoint and First Bitcoin Capital based on bitcoin, ethereum and blockchain technology, and SinglePoint recently acquired the rights and domain name for www.SingleCoin.com as part of a planned potential initial coin offering (ICO), which would specifically support transactions for the marijuana industry and other high-risk industries.

In addition to its bitcoin payment solution development activities, SinglePoint has also created and is releasing a Web development and online marketing solution for cannabis dispensaries and plans to use some of the recent funding to launch a proprietary marketing system to attract new customers to SingleSeed.com, which has become a prime resource for dispensaries seeking merchant payment processing solutions and other business tools. SinglePoint offers payment solutions to cannabis businesses through SingleSeed payments, including mobile marketing and payment solutions such as Pay-by-Text™, cashless ATM and text message marketing.

Having made various acquisitions in its efforts to take a diversified approach in the cannabis industry without actually touching the plant, SinglePoint’s portfolio includes a majority stake in Discount Indoor Garden Supply, which immediately positioned the company to become a leader in online products, retail stores, cannabis consulting and equipment in California. The company additionally started funding Convectium in 2017. Convectium is a provider of equipment, branding and packaging solutions to the cannabis industry and is the developer of the first cartridge and vape pen oil-filling machines offered through wholesale distribution to cannabis dispensaries. Convectium’s 710Shark and 710Seal machines, currently sold through the EquipCanna.com website, are capable of filling and packaging more than 100 cartridges or disposable vape pens in 30 seconds. Convectium further operates a consumer brand that includes BlackoutX and HazeSticks products.

American Energy Partners (XFUL) Extends Water Treatment to the Industry and Energy Sectors

Converde Energy USA, Inc. (OTC: XFUL), d/b/a American Energy Partners Inc., has diversified its energy services portfolio following a successful rebranding effort. The Allentown, Pennsylvania-based company operates through various subsidiaries that have their own energy operations. Hydration Company of Pennsylvania (HCPA) focuses on water exploration and treatment with applications in multiple industries; American Energy Solutions (AES) is an industrial waste stream treatment company; and Gilbert Oil & Gas Company focuses more on generating value in the upstream gas and oil space through operating, drilling, and partnership opportunities. Overall, American Energy Partners hopes to significantly expand operations through involvement in hydrological projects and sourcing water supplies.

The ability to attract capital, form strategic alliances, and achieve sustained growth is helping American Energy Partners serve a diverse customer base. These assets are also attracting investors. Recently, it entered an agreement with GPL Ventures LLC, which may purchase stock valued at up to $3 million. Additionally, the company retained Minivest as a business advisor, to which it issued a Convertible Promissory Note valued at $100,000. Among other things, the agreement allowed access to Minivest’s online marketing platform to help XFUL strengthen its online advertising.

Competent subsidiaries are key contributors to the growth and success of XFUL. A technical workhorse, HCPA can source, implement, and distribute reclaimed water and work in a diversity of geographies, storage conditions, and water quality. It’s also able to augment existing water flow. This allows it to provide a consistent supply, even when levels are low and drought conditions affect a region.

An expert in performing hydrological studies and contracting with mine owners, HCPA possesses the hydrological and engineering know-how to maximize filtration, treatment, and distribution of water resources. Its low-cost treatment and distribution model involves locating, procuring, treating, and distributing water while preserving the environment. The subsidiary can serve a range of applications, including oil and gas, utilities, mining, pipelines, industry, and local municipalities.

HCPA’s patent-pending proprietary water conveyance system is a key component of the subsidiary’s treatment and distribution model, which it plans to implement together with AES, to begin with, by remediating pools of non-potable water. Its recent contract with the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation (“EPCAMR”) to engage the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (“SRBC”) in a study of the Mocanaqua Abandoned Mine Drainage (AMD) Tunnel will serve as a starting point for the new model, proving its efficacy and validity.

Providing off the shelf and custom water treatment solutions, AES is devoted to serving the industrial waste sector. It offers remediation of superfund sites. Also, it can remedy coal ash, acid mine draining, and various other industrial processes. Flowback and produced waters, as well as drill cuttings, can be managed. Specializing in project design and managing strategic partnerships with established water treatment providers, AES can offer performance evaluation and aims to generate market share.

Gilbert is an energy source producer operating in the Marcellus and Utica region. As such, the subsidiary and its competitors represent potential XFUL customers. The market itself is a driver for potential growth of the company and its subsidiaries. Much water is utilized in hydraulic fracturing, including that purchased from public utilities. Flowback and treated wastewater from existing wells are significant. Aside from these water-intensive industrial processes, water use is a major aspect of irrigation, aquaculture, thermoelectric power, mining, and domestic use. In Pennsylvania, thermoelectric power alone consumes 6.43 billion gallons of water per day, and public water supplies use 1.42 billion gallons each day, demonstrating the size of the market XFUL can reach.

InMed Pharmaceuticals (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF) Takes Additional Step toward Clinical Trials for INM-750

Moving toward offering the very first therapy for treating epidermolysis bullosa (EB), InMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CSE: IN) (OTCQB: IMLFF) recently announced it has signed an agreement with Pharmaseed Ltd. (http://dtn.fm/o5XNU) to develop a final formulation for INM-750, InMed’s lead compound, which is being developed as a therapy for EB and for other potential dermatological and wound-healing applications.

EB is a group of inherited connective tissue diseases sharing a common manifestation of very fragile skin that is prone to easily blistering or tearing. An orphan disease that currently has no approved treatments and has significant unmet medical need, EB results from a defect in anchoring between the dermis and the epidermis and is most commonly caused by the absence of specific keratins in the skin. In addition to its effects on the skin, EB can also affect bodily systems and internal organs.

InMed’s INM-750 is a proprietary topical product candidate that includes multiple cannabinoids as its active ingredients, which were chosen to modulate keratin levels in EB patients in anticipation of having a disease-modulating effect. A secondary reason for selecting these cannabinoids was to address EB symptoms, including inflammation, wound healing, skin regeneration, itching and pain. In development as a topical application, INM-750 is designed to optimize penetration of the cannabinoids to the skin’s epidermal/dermal junction.

Through the agreement with Pharmaseed, which is the largest GLP-certified preclinical contract research organization in Israel, InMed is taking another step toward moving INM-750 to its first clinical trial. Under the terms of the agreement, Pharmaseed will develop a final formulation for INM-750 for ongoing R&D, including IND-enabling pharmacology and toxicology studies and eventual clinical studies. The contract also includes the development of assay methods for manufacturing, stability, quality assurance and other methods of analysis.

A preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, InMed specializes in the research and development of cannabinoid-based prescription drug therapies that utilize novel drug delivery systems. For its product candidates, the company conducts research, discovery, preclinical, clinical, regulatory, manufacturing and commercial development activities. InMed’s primary value drivers are its proprietary bioinformatics database assessment tool, biosynthesis manufacturing process and drug development programs.

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) Raises Profile, Increases Revenues from Investor Relations Activity

ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) has been closely monitored for its upside as it competes in the hemp-derived cannabis market. CIIX has launched a cannabidiol (CBD) online store in the free-trade zone of Shanghai and soon it plans to open a brick-and-mortar store in its home market of San Gabriel, California, to market a line of food and nutrition products. However, the bulk of its existing business remains in investor relations, which is growing as the company invests more in personnel and advertising, successfully raising its profile.

CIIX offers a variety of consulting services to Chinese-speaking clients and companies. It offers real-time financial information and educational services in Chinese language character sets. It also provides consulting services to smaller companies seeking to go public. It has clients on the NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTCQB markets. During the quarter ended February 28, 2017, the bulk of the company’s revenues were from its investor relations activities.

The development of new roadshows and multimedia presentations has helped CIIX grow public company clients, building the company’s brand and reputation. CIIX said its gain in investor relations for the period was due to its hiring of more professionals to service public company clients and improve its service quality. The company increased the amount of its advertising to raise its visibility in different cities and languages.

For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017, the company reported sharp increases in its sales within investor relations, tripling and doubling its revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods, respectively. A SeeThruEquity Report on CIIX of March 2017 (http://dtn.fm/SDJ3f) positively noted the gain in CIIX’s high margin investor relations business.

One factor in its higher profile has been the airing of its weekly TV show via Phoenix Television, which broadcasts the program on its Phoenix North America Chinese Channel. This is a popular, subscriber-only media platform aimed at the Chinese-speaking community in the U.S.

Hydration Company of PA (XFUL) Innovates Exciting Water Reclamation Solution Amid Global Water Crisis

In view of the current global water crisis, which has reportedly left approximately 783 million people without access to clean, safe water (http://dtn.fm/6HDv4), the existence of a process for reclaiming previously unavailable water would be quite a game-changer, and it just so happens that one company has pioneered just such a process.

Hydration Company of PA (HCPA), a subsidiary of Converde Energy USA, Inc. (OTC: XFUL), d/b/a American Energy Partners, Inc., is focused on sourcing, implementing and distributing reclaimed water at a profit. HCPA has a competitive edge in its pure volume of reclaimed water and its access to low-cost treatment with high flow rates and highly concentrated solids through technologies from XFUL’s partners.

HCPA offers a pioneering solution for locating, procuring, treating and distributing water using a patent-pending process that results in cleaner water and a safer environment. This innovative process can alleviate drought conditions by enabling access to water that was previously unavailable.

Due to the volume and flexibility of the model HCPA has established through its patent-pending methodology and conveyance procedures, the company is poised to immediately and effectively gain market share, since large corporations desire access to a single source that can provide massive amounts of reclaimed water in spite of drought conditions.

The exciting applications for HCPA’s solution include oil and gas, pipelines, mining, utilities, municipalities and landowners. The company plans to operate out of a number of predetermined sites within the United States, which will vary in terms of geography, storage and water quality. These sites will facilitate augmentation or the ability to mitigate during pass-by conditions, and the augmentation of existing water flow will allow the company to supply everyday water as well as providing additional waters to the system in low-flow conditions. This represents a particularly valuable piece of HCPA’s model, as customers will have the ability to consume at their intake up to the maximum docketed withdrawal regardless of how long or severe a drought may be, giving the customers pass-by exemption.

This is how HCPA’s model works:

  • Region-wide hydrological studies are conducted to identify the largest pools of non-potable water
  • Access and control are gained to these mines through contracts with current owners
  • Final hydrology and engineering studies are performed
  • A filtration system is installed with all the needed permits
  • A dynamically adjustable turnkey system is deployed, allowing HCPA to execute its treatment and distribution model through the company’s proprietary conveyance system

The ability to tap into previously unusable sources of water is certainly an exciting prospect, and one that could address and solve limitations in a variety industries and areas.

Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) Exploration Expands as China Winds Down Refined Metals Production

Experts say China could soon look to import refined metal as its available zinc concentrate continues to fall, per a May 2013 Economic Times report (http://dtn.fm/AZ9iv). The falling demand there for steel galvanization is partly to blame; a national crackdown on industrial pollution is helping to drive this decline as well. A decline in refined zinc output from 43,400 tonnes in March 2017 to 41,300 tonnes in April 2017 has been noted by the National Bureau of Statistics, and refined metal production has been affected by major mine closures in Australia and Ireland. In contrast to Chinese production cuts, Kootenay Zinc Corp. (CSE: ZNK) (OTCQB: KTNNF) has stepped up its exploration efforts to meet a global demand for zinc imports.

In a recent press release (http://dtn.fm/Gaw40), the company reported that China boosted its refined zinc imports 21 percent year-over-year while, according to Reuters, zinc ore and concentrates shipments rose 44 percent. These are just a few statistics proving the importance of Kootenay Zinc Corp.’s step up of zinc exploration. The Vancouver-based company is expanding its exploration program at its Sully Property, which is 18 miles east of one of the world’s largest mineral deposits, the legendary Sullivan Mine.

Although the renowned Sullivan Mine closed in 2001 after nearly 100 years in operation, geological data thus far suggests Kootenay Zinc’s Sully Project shares many of the same geological features. These are known for sedimentary exhalative, or SEDEX deposits, that fed the original mine’s 17 million tons of lead and zinc obtained over its operating life. Both locations also reside in the same basin; the company has already seen evidence of a lead-zinc soil anomaly cause by a buried deposit. Minerals may be being leaked up through faults and dispersed amongst the till and alluvium.

An aerial survey also found magnetic anomalies up to two miles long in the area. Exploration efforts continue as these nearly coincide with gravity anomalies. A drilling effort in 2004 may have missed the main deposit site by about 100 meters, according to downhole readings of the local magnetic field and temperature, taken in 2014. Testing has continued into June 2017, when a Kootenay Zinc Corp. exploration update (http://dtn.fm/ec7ES) revealed that scientific observations were ongoing. These included gravity surveying, soil geochemistry sampling, and interpretation and mass modeling. In addition to drilling preparations, road and access preparations were ongoing at the site. The company has been focused on the E3 drilling target, which appears to be a more attractive drilling target compared to the extensively measured and analyzed E1 site.

In fact, outcrop samples have been taken from multiple sites for assay; at two of them, zinc values were above 10,000 parts per million, per a soil geochemical survey in June. Several other samples at the base of the slope were in the 150 to 300 parts per million range. The Sully property is currently 1,375 hectares, or nearly 3,398 acres, in size, and located in British Columbia, where Kootenay continues its mineral exploration and development efforts.

Patriot One Technologies (TSX.V: PAT) (OTCQB: PTOTF) and McMaster University Researchers Team Up to Commercialize Concealed Weapons Detection System

Patriot One Technologies, Inc. (TSX.V: PAT) (OTCQB: PTOTF) is taking steps to commercialize its PATSCAN™ CMR technology, which features an innovative radar technology that can detect concealed weapons such as knives, guns, grenades, and suicide vests. The microwave radar system can identify moving targets – individuals who are carrying concealed weapons. Recently featured in a June article (http://dtn.fm/3Nw6n), the company plans on making the system available to commercial markets to help fight terrorism and other security issues throughout the world. Researchers at McMaster University, based in Hamilton, Ontario, have joined forces with the Patriot One team to boost the product’s path to commercialization.

PATSCAN is the next-generation version of NForce CMR1000, a popular and award-winning software and radar system. It has been developed and improved with the help of the university’s research team. The result is a portable device and software solution that can be used by security personnel at the civilian and military levels. PATSCAN has been engineered to detect metal content, using software that can recognize the wavelength patterns of weapons, and compare them to the signatures of known weapons in real time.

Thanks to its small size, the system can be concealed in a doorway, hallway, or in any public venue such as an airport, stadium, or school. Individuals are unaware of the device’s presence or that it is scanning them. Rather than generate a scan as many traditional security systems do, this system automatically relays an alert to security personnel. So far, it has a 93 percent accuracy rate for identifying the entry of an active threat. Its current range is 6.5 feet.

The entire radar-based PATSCAN is contained in a small semiconductor chip. This integrated circuit is similar to microwave radar the military has used for years. It has also enabled more financially practical applications, so other systems have been developed using such small circuits as well. These include intrusion alarms, police speed meters, door openers, and motion detectors. Microwave radar offers a very fine resolution, so it can detect small objects, and some versions integrate multiple receivers, adding fine precision and wide-angle detection.

In addition, the Patriot One-McMaster University solution avoids the pitfalls of current technologies. Present security systems at, for example, airports, use X-rays and CT scans. With PATSCAN, there are no privacy or health concerns, operator errors, or false positives. Individuals do not have to comply with being scanned or searched, nor do they have to take the time to be processed. The entire scanning procedure is inconspicuous to the individual being probed. Plus, an assailant cannot plan a way to avert the radar, as they often try with perimeter security.

Many facilities have sought out detectors that meet cost, space, and location requirements, in addition to those that are simple to use. The need to be accurate despite interference from metal ordinarily carried by people is high as well. Patriot One’s near-field radar solution addresses all the concerns of standard security systems, and it is currently in the process of commercialization.
