• Unlike fossil fuels, renewables are on the rise as climate and energy crises accelerate and countries rush to implement a range of policy responses
• Among renewable energy sources, biogas, also called renewable natural gas, solves for two modern challenges – bloated landfills and the need for rapid decarbonization
• EverGen emerges as a leader committed to powering a sustainable, net-zero future by tapping into the power of organic waste to electrify homes and vehicles using biogas

The energy sector seems to be at a crossroads: on one side, there are renewables – an emerging green energy sector such as solar, wind, hydro, biofuels, and others that aim to facilitate the transition to a more sustainable economy. And on the other, there are traditional, fossil-based sources – a class of energy has-beens that economies are slowly trying to wean themselves off of. As the energy transition accelerates in the wake of the climate and energy crises, the world needs more renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. That is where companies like EverGen Infrastructure (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF), a leading Canadian renewable energy company, step in to offer solutions designed to speed up the shift toward a greener future.

Coal-fired power generation is expected to keep its downward trend, sinking from 20% of the U.S. energy mix in 2022 to 18% this year and 17% in 2024. A recent Morgan Stanley report expects renewable energy to entirely replace coal in as little as ten years (https://ibn.fm/fx2HJ). Gas is also projected to decline from 38% in 2023 and 37% in 2024. In contrast, renewables will continue to rise, reaching 24% of the generating mix in 2023 and 26% in 2024 (https://ibn.fm/KBXJ4).

Among currently available renewable options, biogas has some unique benefits. For example, sourcing energy from biogas could offer the optimal solution to two challenges of the modern world: mounting waste and the need to decarbonize the economy.

As a blend of gases created from waste materials like food waste, municipal waste, animal manure, plant material, and sewage – all of which methane and carbon dioxide make up the majority – biogas can release energy when oxygen is present during the burning process. This energy can be used for producing electricity, food preparation, transportation, and heating, which makes it a promising bioenergy source amid the heated fight against the threat of climate change (https://ibn.fm/Grotz).

Also called renewable natural gas (“RNG”), biogas is considered carbon-negative and, as such, can substantially lower the greenhouse gas (“GHG”) impact of the natural decomposition of waste, the process that releases methane into the atmosphere. Instead, these emissions are captured and transformed into biogas which is then cleaned to create a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative energy source that can be used in the existing gas pipeline grids. But the benefits of biogas do not stop here — byproducts of this process, including liquid and solid digestate matter, can be used as fertilizer and in other applications.

As a result, the global biogas or RNG market is expected to demonstrate considerable growth during 2023-2032. Valued at USD 3250.14 million in 2021, it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.5% by 2027, reaching USD 7323.37 million. Top regions include North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific (https://ibn.fm/ZBOsg).

Tapping into the power of organic waste to electrify homes and vehicles across Canada, EverGen aims to combat climate change by acquiring, developing, and operating a portfolio of renewable natural gas, waste-to-energy, and other infrastructure projects.

Run by industry veterans with decades of combined experience across the energy and infrastructure sectors, EverGen maintains a commitment to continued growth beyond its home market in Canada into other regions of North America. The Company operated three projects in British Columbia before expanding its Canadian presence in 2022 by acquiring a 67% ownership in GrowTEC, an Alberta-based biogas project and a 50% stake in a late-development-stage portfolio of three high-quality, on-farm RNG projects. Founded in 2020, this young company poised for growth went public in 2021 to capitalize on the strong momentum of the green sector.

• Restructuring whiz takes helm at RXMD
• New CEO takes no salary or other forms of compensation
• Company sees infusion of $6 million cash from key investors
• A synergistic tech-healthcare collaboration grows as financials show upward trend

Looks like something big is brewing at Florida-based Progressive Care (OTCQB: RXMD). Focused on health services, the company offers healthcare services and technology that supports the managed healthcare industry to reduce costs and improve quality of care. The company has been steadily building both its pharmacy and data-management divisions as revenues continue to improve. However, a couple of extremely revealing events recently transpired that may have set the course for considerable upside potential.

The first inkling of something big cooking was revealed in a September press release which announced that Progressive Care had successfully completed a recapitalization of its debt as well as a strategic investment of $6 million from NextPlat Corp. (NASDAQ: NXPL) (https://ibn.fm/5MlTc). Not only did NextPlat invest in RXMD, its CEO, Charles M. Fernandez, along with other investors, purchased approximately $2.8 million of outstanding convertible debt in the company. The press release also stated that Fernandez was named chairman of the board of Progressive Care.

Why would a technology-driven, global, e-commerce platform company and its CEO invest in a healthcare company such as Progressive Care? The answer might be found in NextPlat’s mission statement, which states that the company was “created to capitalize on multiple high-growth sectors.” It certainly appears that Progressive Care has been identified as a high-growth opportunity, which might be explained in part by Fernandez’s quote: “I look forward to working closely with the board and its leadership team to help ensure that during a time when technology is rapidly transforming the healthcare industry, Progressive Care can continue to innovate and make a positive impact on all stakeholders for years to come.”

This transaction becomes even more interesting when looking at the background of Fernandez, who “Fortune” Magazine called a “restructuring whiz” (https://ibn.fm/tWlm7). His Wikipedia page extols his accomplishments in identifying profitable start-up and dislocation opportunities as well as his impressive 30-year career in media, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, finance and technology while working alongside luminary investors such as Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square and Brookfield Asset Management (https://ibn.fm/pNxZD).

The potential for substantial upside at Progressive Care becomes more apparent with a November press release that announced the appointment of Fernandez as the company’s acting CEO. Fernandez provided additional insight by saying: “As many of you are aware, I had joined the board of directors of Progressive Care as the chairman in September. My appointment as chairman was part of the $6 million investment made in Progressive Care in September 2022 by NextPlat Corporation, the company of which I am also the CEO and executive chairman. I will receive no salary or other forms of compensation for my work as CEO of Progressive Care. I am taking on this role with the goal of maximizing the synergies that exist between NextPlat and Progressive Care.”

No salary or other forms of compensation for his work as CEO of Progressive Care — who’s heard of that? Sure, he already made an investment, but that means he must make the company successful for the investment to pay off.  And note that he says he’s taking on the role with the goal of “maximizing the synergies” between NextPlat and Progressive Care. Could there be a near-future technology infusion for RXMD to put it into the upswing of the healthcare market?

In December of last year, the company announced a reverse stock split (https://ibn.fm/C5p6C). Fernandez said: “We are pleased to announce this reverse stock split as we believe it is in the best interest of our shareholders and will help Progressive Care to attract institutional investors as we continue to grow. The reverse stock split changes the price per share and number of shares outstanding but has no effect on the operations of our company nor its size and growth potential.” Notice the reference to “institutional investors,” Fernandez’s wheelhouse, and also note that an increased share price may be the last hurdle before a potential NASDAQ listing, which would open up a multitude of possibilities.

It doesn’t take rocket science to get an idea of what’s happening here. A recognized “restructuring whiz” with more than 100 significant mergers, acquisitions and product-development projects under his belt has made a substantial investment in and taken charge of RXMD. If the past is any prologue to the future, and if Fernandez’s record of success is any indication of future performance, he’s about to apply his “wizardry” to help supercharge growth at Progressive Care.

• Strained Sino-U.S. relations make it more important than ever for North America to explore options for procuring rare earth element (“REE”) and rare earth oxide (“REO”) resources
• Ucore has positioned itself to fulfill North America’s unmet REE, and REO needs through its RapidSX(TM) demonstration plant and future commercial production plants
• Ucore’s first commercial production plant is already being engineered to ramp up for customers, located in Louisiana, with two additional plants in the pipeline

With China’s attitude toward developing a healthy, stable, and constructive Sino-U.S. relationship unchanged, it has become imperative for North America to consider options for procuring rare earth elements (“REEs”) and rare earth oxides (“REOs”) without reliance on China, which is currently dominating the REE market. Ucore Rare Metals (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) is a critical metals separation technology company executing an ESG-centered plan to establish a comprehensive North American critical metals supply chain. The company is positioning itself to fulfill North America’s unmet REE, and REO needs through commercial production plants, with the first expected to be operational by the end of 2024 in Louisiana.

Ucore recently participated in the 2023 Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (“PDAC”) mining convention, the world’s premier convention for people, companies, and organizations connected to mineral exploration. The Toronto, Ontario convention attracts up to 30,000 attendees from over 130+ countries. During the convention, Ucore’s CEO Pat Ryan participated in an interview with Goldinvest’s Managing Director Bjorn Junker (https://ibn.fm/khmPH).

During the interview, Ryan clarified that Ucore is not a mining company but a processing and refining technology company focusing on critical metals. These metals are used in vehicle electrification, and while many people focus on the batteries, the use of REOs in the motors is equally as important. Ryan pointed out that people are beginning to pay attention, demonstrated in Ucore’s share price, which has risen 100% over the last few months – thanks to the commissioning of Ucore’s demonstration plant in Kingston, Ontario.

Over the last few years, Ucore has invested about $10 million in the demonstration plant and its RapidSX(TM) technology. RapidSX(TM) is a westernized form of solvent extraction using fewer chemicals, quicker throughput, less capital expenditure and better operational expenditure. According to Ryan, the size of the demonstration plant allows it to accommodate tens of tons of earth concentrate, including heavy rare earth, which no one is currently doing in North America. It allows the company to gather thousands of hours of run-time to move to a bigger commercial plant with real revenue, which will start as it begins servicing customers.

Since Ucore is not building a mine, which can take six to seven years to complete, the company’s current timeline involves having the first commercial plant ready by the end of 2024. Currently, Ucore is engineering a plant in Louisiana to ramp up and move the company’s plans forward. Through the demonstration plant, Ucore is gathering the necessary metric data. The company has even had evaluations completed by notable industry experts – including Automotive Companies who have brought in their own processing specialists.

Ryan stated that the individual rare oxide market is expected to reach $32 billion by the decade’s end, with approximately $16 billion belonging to the ex-China market. Ucore is targeting 20% of that market, with the commercial plant in Louisiana expected to take on one-third of that capacity. Additionally, Ucore plans to engineer a second and third commercial plant to handle the remaining capacity in the future.

“Twenty percent is reasonable. Talking to real customers that need a real product and real points of time – what you need in 2025, what you need in 2026, what you need in 2027 – we are ramping up a plan that includes great people, really good tech, and financing plans that will get us there,” Ryan added.

• The push for developing a secure domestic supply of critical minerals is growing as U.S. dependence on mineral imports and foreign processing is reaching alarming levels
• Critical minerals are essential for advanced technologies that are the basis for the country’s high-tech digital economy and advanced military
• Arizona Metals boasts a high-grade, historic resource in Arizona – one of the world’s most attractive mining jurisdictions

A mineral exploration company engaged in advancing precious and base metal deposits, Arizona Metals (TSX: AMC) (OTCQX: AZMCF) is set out to benefit as North American metals projects appear to be experiencing a renaissance as the 1950 Defense Production Act, intended to support the nation’s supply of domestically-sourced critical minerals, gave a boost to the sector. But, as it turns out, not all exploration projects are created equal. Due to the prolonged metals and mining permitting processes involving many stakeholders, it can often take 7 to 10 years to complete the process in the U.S., making it one of the longest in the world (https://ibn.fm/g5tqa). Apparently, not in Arizona.

“If you’re looking for a stable jurisdiction with a long history of mining copper, it’s Arizona” – these are the words that Marc Pais, the President and CEO of Arizona Metals Corp. used in a recent interview for Mining Journal when he described how the company chose potential historical high-grade copper deposits in the U.S. for its mining business (https://ibn.fm/39tmN). In the Fraser Institute’s annual survey, Arizona and Nevada persistently score as one of the world’s most attractive mining jurisdictions due to the efficient permitting process and the faster timeline for drilling and development, which help decrease the projects’ risks and reduce exploration costs. Pais claims that the rapid deployment of drills is another feature of the project’s land ownership advantages, revealing that the company has averaged three months turnaround for drilling permits. For comparison, other junior mining competitors often wait much longer, sometimes even years.

The project has said to have already been attracting significant market attention. Still, the experienced management team expects to catch the eye of the mid-tier base and precious metal producers as the drill results are revealed during the exploration program. “We’re not mine builders, but we know what the gold and copper companies are looking for,” Paul Reid, the company’s Executive Chairman, added. “We’re in a jurisdiction they like, but we need to build a production profile that moves the needle for producers looking for additional copper and gold production. We just need to keep showing how big the Kay Mine Project can be while we continue to de-risk it.” The company owns 100% of their Kay Mine Deposit, its flagship copper-gold-zinc-silver asset located in Yavapai County. The VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide) copper-gold-zinc-silver project has a history going back over a century in a fertile region that includes 60 past-producing underground Cu Au-Zn VMS mines within a 150-kilometer radius.

It appears that there has never been better support for the U.S. mining industry as we become aware of the importance of critical minerals for the country’s digital economy and modern military grows – in lockstep with alarming concerns due to the lack of their secure supply. Although the U.S. boasts world-class reserves of minerals critical to its economic and national security, the country’s reliance on mineral imports and foreign processing leaves it vulnerable since robust critical mineral supplies are vital to economic and national security, especially its high-tech digital economy and advanced military.

The concerns that the U.S. is growing dependent on countries such as China – the dominant global player in critical minerals processing – are increasing at the same time as the market for critical minerals is heating up. The Inflation Reduction Act, intended to pour hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies, is expected to drive up demand massively. For example, tax credits are available for electric car makers if they source at least 40% of their critical minerals used in battery production from the U.S. or countries that have a free trade agreement with the U.S. (https://ibn.fm/m0qG6).

With projected mineral demand soaring, the push for prioritization of a secure supply of critical minerals to make the U.S. self-sufficient in refining critical minerals could give a strong boost to the domestic mining industry.

D-Wave’s focus is to help customers apply the unique capabilities of quantum computing to practical business applications that solve computationally complex problems.

The value delivered by D-Wave comes from its practical quantum applications for problems as diverse as logistics, artificial intelligence, materials sciences, drug discovery, scheduling, fault detection, and financial modeling. D-Wave’s technology is being used by some of the world’s most advanced organizations, including Volkswagen, Mastercard, Deloitte, Davidson Technologies, ArcelorMittal, Siemens Healthineers, Unisys, NEC Corporation, Pattison Food Group Ltd., DENSO, Lockheed Martin, Forschungszentrum Jülich, University of Southern California, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The launch of D-Wave’s new hybrid solver plug-in comes at a time when companies are turning to AI and machine learning technologies to navigate increased complexity in the enterprise. According to IDC, 78% of organizations believe that AI-driven projects significantly or very significantly impact business outcomes (https://ibn.fm/tHObs). (2)

“We’re hearing from customers that the combination of quantum hybrid solutions with feature selection in AI/ML model training is important for accelerating business impact,” said Murray Thom, vice president of quantum business innovation at D-Wave. “This plug-in represents yet another example of how D-Wave is facilitating quantum ML workstreams and making it easy to incorporate optimization in feature selection efforts.”

D-Wave’s new Ocean plug-in makes it easier to use D-Wave’s hybrid solvers for feature selection in workflows. Feature selection is a key building block of machine learning. It is a problem of determining a small set of the most representative characteristics to improve model training and performance in machine learning. With the new plug-in, developers do not have to be experts in optimization or hybrid solving to get the business or technical benefits of both. The developers who are creating feature selection applications can build a pipeline with scikit-learn and then embed D-Wave’s hybrid solvers into the workflow more easily and efficiently.

Developers can easily get started by signing up for the Leap quantum cloud service for free, installing the plug-in, and viewing demos and examples created by the company. For a more collaborative approach, developers can reach out to D-Wave directly and explore the feature selection offering in AWS Marketplace.

• Silo Pharma recently provided an update on an ongoing study delving into the potential use of SP-26 as an alternative treatment for fibromyalgia
• The study, which is being carried out in conjunction with Experimur, has looked into the feasibility of using a time-released, dosage-controlled formulation of ketamine as a suitable treatment for the chronic medical condition
• Since its founding, Silo Pharma has rapidly gained a reputation for its innovative approach towards seeking solutions to address a variety of underserved medical conditions

Silo Pharma (NASDAQ: SILO), a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused around merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research, recently announced that it had achieved a positive outcome for its toxicology study of SP-26, its novel time-released, dosage-controlled formulation of ketamine. The results come after Silo Pharma had previously revealed that it was working on the preparation of a pre-Investigational New Drug (“IND”) package and meeting request with the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for a novel formulation of ketamine destined towards the treatment of fibromyalgia (https://ibn.fm/X5GM4).

At the time, Eric Weisblum, Silo Pharma’s Chief Executive Officer had remarked on the company’s efforts, “We are confident that our highly constructive pre-clinical work on SP-26 will offer strong support for our pre-IND package as we seek to advance our time-released ketamine delivery system into the clinic” (https://ibn.fm/tHFlD).

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition causing pain to the connective tissues through the body including muscles, ligaments and tendons. Musculoskeletal pain is often accompanied by sleep difficulties, fatigue, mood disorders and problems with memory and concentration. Despite having over four million Americans living with fibromyalgia, there is relatively little known about this condition, and no apparent physical cause has been identified thus far. As of 2020, the FDA had approved three drugs specifically for treating fibromyalgia, however these have primarily been destined towards the treatment of specific symptoms, such as depression or nerve pain, rather than acting as a more holistic treatment (https://ibn.fm/k1mMN).

Now and in collaboration with Experimur, a Frontage Laboratories company, Silo Pharma have provided an update as to their efforts in producing a ketamine-based treatment for fibromyalgia. The company detailed in a recent announcement that it had tested SP-26 in a toxicology and tolerability study in mini pigs using an ascending (descending) dosing regimen. The study was carried out in adherence to the bioanalytical methods required to perform toxicology studies by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in advance of initiating clinical studies for SP-26.

“Today’s positive results are an important step as we move closer to achieving all needed components to plan human trials of SP-26.” remarked Weisblum. “We are advancing our work with our regulatory partners to prepare a Pre-Investigational New Drug (‘IND’) package for SP-26 and intend to pursue the FDA’s streamlined 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway for drug approval.”

Originally founded in 2010, Silo Pharma has rapidly earned a reputation in recent years for its ground-breaking research into conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other rare neurological disorders. In addition to its recent research into potential fibromyalgia treatment alternatives, Silo Pharma have also been involved in a number of studies designed to develop innovative solutions for previously underserved conditions, including exploring the use of a prophylactic treatment for drug-resistant depression and delving into the effects of psilocybin on inflammation, among several other initiatives.
