• Among the contracts that Nextech has provided support for is February’s Student Veterans of America’s (SVA) 2021 National Conference, which featured first lady Dr. Jill Biden as its keynote speaker and other national luminaries on the agenda

Barely a generation ago, “flip phone” cell phones became a novelty that allowed consumers to play with pocketable Star Trek nostalgia-level communications technology on a broad market scale. But it didn’t take long before the nostalgia surrendered to the utility of slide-open phones, then the quantum leap in connective technology that flat-faced smart phones offered (https://ibn.fm/FEpEn). Enterprising augmented reality pioneer Nextech AR Solutions (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF), based in Vancouver, Canada, is similarly working to mainstream AR functionality beyond simple gimmickry, enabling educators, events managers, advertisers and consumers to engage their audiences in a more immersive way using AR and 3D imaging, holographic displays and 360-degree portals. “When we look at 2021, I see lots of catalysts for our company,” Nextech AR CEO and founder Evan Gappelberg said during a recent Virtual Investor Conferences webcast and Q&A. “Beyond just revenue, we have launches of new major brands for our e-commerce division. … We’re also working very hard on launching new technology, especially in our AR division, which includes getting to market with the holy grail of AR, which is beaming a live volumetric human as a hologram in our AiRShow app.” “We’re also working hard on bringing the AR room to the market for consumers as a standalone product,” Gappelberg added. “Right now it’s in our platforms but we plan on launching it as a standalone this year, which will be a Zoom lookalike only better since we have AI and AR.” As a virtual experience company, Nextech AR is dedicated to empowering people to achieve a better future for themselves through SaaS platforms that create “infinite experiences that inspire the world,” as the company’s website states. In terms of helping companies enhance their revenue potential, Nextech AR has or is developing tech verticals that include AR-enhanced virtual conference platforms, 3D advertising solutions, an Aritize360 (TM) app for e-commerce that includes “Try It On” technology via the virtual experience, and a Hollywood Studios version of the same app for creating 360-degree videos. The company’s products have been garnering attention. Gappelberg noted that in 2019, Nextech AR Solutions generated $6 million in revenue. In 2020, the company pre-announced its bookings at $20 million, and the company anticipates its 2021 revenues will land between $50 million and $60 million. Nextech’s Virtual Experience Platform (“VXP”) was chosen to host the Student Veterans of America’s (SVA) 2021 National Conference in February, which included a keynote address by first lady Dr. Jill Biden and other speakers such as author Gary Vaynerchuk, actress, neuroscientist and author Mayim Bialik, and Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough. “I’m very proud of our Nextech delivery team who flawlessly pulled off this high-profile event. It is a great honor for our young company to be selected to work with SVA to build an engaging and secure venue for veterans and high-profile thought-leaders,” Gappelberg stated following the event (https://ibn.fm/fUEZi).

• Drilling at GOH’s Rio Loa Project begins; major milestone in development to unlock potential of area
• Based on proximity to nearby top-producing projects, GoldHaven anticipates Rio Loa could deliver impressive drill results
• GoldHaven’s high-priority projects, unique land position are starting to yield attractive targets

GoldHaven Resources Group (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS), a Canadian junior exploration company active in the Maricunga Gold Belt of Northern Chile, has mobilized a drill crew and commenced drilling its 5,000 meter Phase 1 drill campaign at Rio Loa (https://ibn.fm/n18yj).

“This is a major milestone in our development to unlock the potential of our 251-square-kilometer Maricunga district play,” said Goldhaven CEO Daniel Schieber. “Pat Burns and his world-class exploration team managed to get the drill turning on time and on budget. Surface expressions of our pathfinder elements As and Pb are reportedly higher than those at Salares Norte. The 5,000m drill program will take about five to six weeks to complete, and the plan is to deliver results to our shareholders as we go.”

One of GoldHaven’s seven high-priority Maricunga projects, the Rio Loa Project is located 25 kilometers south of Gold Field’s Salares Norte deposit (5.2 million ounces equivalent of gold scheduled to produce 350,000 ounces of gold per annum) and 6 kilometers south of Gold Field’s Horizonte discovery. Based on proximity to nearby top-producing projects, GoldHaven anticipates Rio Loa could deliver impressive drill results. The project has already been subject to trenching, sampling and geophysics; in-fill IP geophysics lines are currently being conducted for further target definition.

Within the Rio Loa project, GoldHaven has identified a three-and-a-half kilometer north-south trending alteration zone that averages one kilometer wide. Recent trenching and rock sampling with numerous erosion windows exposing altered volcanics have returned highly anomalous As and Pb as well as locally anomalous Au and Sb values. This geochemical response is a defining characteristic of many high sulphidation deposits within the Maricunga Gold Belt such as at the Salares Norte mine.

Drilling at Rio Loa began within days of GoldHaven’s announcement that it had hired Drillex Chile SpA to conduct the drilling campaign (https://ibn.fm/g1GqR). The Drillex team comes with more than four decades of experience in exploration and resource-definition drilling, and its members are partners of the Exploration Drill Masters out of Santiago, Chile.

“[GoldHaven’s] seven projects and unique land position (251 square km’s) are starting to yield attractive targets,” stated Burns, GoldHaven’s head of exploration (https://ibn.fm/CyFDQ). “The world-class exploration team is now complete and ready to start our exploration campaign.”

In addition to Rio Loa, GoldHaven has six other high priority assets to test and drill. This will keep the company busy during 2021. The company is intent on advancing its Apolo Project’s Roma and Alicia properties as well as its Coya assets and preparing them for drilling. These targets have been designated as high-priority owing to their extensive and pervasive alteration, favourable geology, structures and highly anomalous rock geochemistry results, as well as their relative proximity to existing deposits.

GoldHaven’s goal is to identify and capitalize on valuable precious metals projects in mineral-rich districts with stable political jurisdictions. In the last 10 years, 100 million ounces of gold have been discovered within the Maricunga Belt.

• UUUU committed to industry-leading recycling programs; dedicated to sustainability
• Company helping address some of world’s most daunting health, environmental issues: air pollution and climate change
• Energy Fuels’ sustainability report tells story of company’s commitment to human rights and corporate and social responsibility

As one of the nation’s largest producers of uranium and critical minerals, Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) places a high priority on environmental responsibility and sustainability. The company’s recently published Sustainability Report outlines its commitment to a number of initiatives, including producing many of the raw materials that make clean energy and advanced technologies possible and executing industry-leading uranium and vanadium recycling programs (https://ibn.fm/8d3TQ). The report also notes UUUU’s dedication to sustainability through corporate, environmental and social responsibility.

“Energy Fuels is proud of our record of environmental stewardship,” said Energy Fuels president and CEO Mark S. Chalmers (https://ibn.fm/nY843). “We work hard every day to ensure our operations minimize potential impacts to the environment, including water, air, wildlife, soil, and cultural resources.  We operate in strict compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and where practicable, we strive to exceed those standards.

“Past uranium mining in the U.S. created many health and environmental issues,” he continued. “However, it is important to understand that most health and environmental impacts from the uranium industry resulted from operations that occurred decades ago in the years during and after WWII and at the height of the Cold War. Energy Fuels — and the regulators that oversee our operations – are working to ensure that those mistakes are not repeated. The uranium we responsibly produce today is helping address some of the most daunting health and environmental issues facing the world today — air pollution and climate change.  We are proud to play a growing part in this global effort.”

As part of that effort, Energy Fuels is committed to environmental responsibility through its industry-leading recycling programs. UUUU recycles uranium-bearing material for the recovery of uranium at its White Mesa Mill in Utah that would otherwise be lost to direct disposal. This includes material produced from other metal mining and processing, the uranium conversion process, and other sources.

In addition, Energy Fuels is recycling high-purity vanadium from its tailings facilities.

According to UUUU’s sustainability report, the 1.8 million pounds of vanadium that Energy Fuels has recycled would produce enough vanadium for the steel girders needed to build four and a half Golden Gate bridges. The company believes it is vital to recycle and reuse as much material as possible in order to reduce the need for more mining of the world’s finite resources and reduce carbon emissions.

The Sustainability Report also noted that over its history, the White Mesa Mill has recycled more than six million pounds of uranium, all of which would otherwise have been lost to direct disposal. After being converted to nuclear fuel, that amount of recycled uranium would eliminate an estimated 85 million tons of CO₂ emissions compared to coal, or the same amount of annual emissions as 18 million passenger vehicles or about one and a half times the annual CO₂ emissions from the entire country of Sweden.

Energy Fuels also notes that uranium is the fuel for carbon-free, emission-free baseload nuclear power – one of the cleanest forms of energy in the world. Vanadium, which today is mainly used in the steel, aerospace and chemical industries, is also expected to increase its contribution to environmental sustainability, as next-generation, grid-scale batteries utilizing vanadium are being commercialized to store energy generated from renewable sources.

Finally, REEs, which are a group of 17 chemical elements, are the building blocks for a wide array of clean energy and advanced technologies, including wind turbines, electric vehicles, cell phones, computers, flat-panel displays, advanced optics, catalysts, medicine and national defense applications. Energy Fuels’ involvement in these sectors underlies its efforts and commitment to environmental sustainability.

“Energy Fuels might be the best untold clean energy and sustainability story in the U.S. today,” said Chalmers. “We believe our recently published Sustainability Report tells this story, along with our commitments to human rights and corporate and social responsibility. We are proud of the growing roles we play in helping address global climate change, reducing air pollution, making clean energy technologies possible, and working to make the world a healthier and cleaner place.”

• The global market for botanical and plant-derived drugs was valued at $29.4 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $39.6 billion by 2022
• Healthy Extracts is nearly debt-free with minimal overhead costs

Through a growing portfolio of wholly owned subsidiaries, Healthy Extracts (OTCQB: HYEX) (formerly Grey Cloak Tech) is engaged in proprietary research and development of natural plant-based formulations, sales, and distribution of cardiovascular and neuro products. Through its unique assets and operations of subsidiaries BergaMet North America and Ultimate Brain Nutrients (“UBN”), the company aims to offer better lifestyle opportunities while advancing its market position in the health industry. The company has recently announced promising results of clinical studies for two leading products: BergaMet North America’s HERHEART(TM) and Ultimate Brain Nutrients’ Fuel4Thought(TM) Brain Booster. HERHEART(TM) is an exclusive natural supplement that is scientifically formulated specifically for women to support cardiovascular health, including perimenopausal symptoms. The study was conducted in 35 postmenopausal women with sexual dysfunction at the University Magna Graecia of Caranzaro in Italy. Results indicated that patients who were administered HERHEART(TM) reported a 40 percent decrease in mood swings and 60 percent reduction in hot flashes, along with a 45 percent increase in energy and a 40 to 70 percent increase in desire and arousal. The supplement was also shown to have beneficial effects in what regards fat metabolizing, lower cholesterol levels and anti-inflammatory action (https://ibn.fm/c2yTR). Duke Pitts, CEO of BergaMet North America, explained that HERHEART(TM) was specifically designed to fill the void in heart health products designed for women, in the context in which cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for women in the U.S. “Not only does HERHEART assist in metabolic syndrome challenges, it also provides continued support for women as they mature. There is no other product that focuses directly on women, combines natural ingredients, and has the clinical studies to confirm its effectiveness,” Pitts said. The company expects HERHEAT(TM) to become one of its top selling products, while providing an exclusive market position. Aiding in the product’s promotion is internationally renowned Dr. Nesochi Okeke-Igbokwe MD., M.S, who recently joined the company’s Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Nesochi is a respected international health expert and trusted media resource. Shortly after releasing the results about HERHEART(TM), the company’s UBN subsidiary released its study of Fuel4Thought(TM) Brain Booster, showing impressive results in brain activation, sports vision, hand to eye coordination, and auditory reaction time. The results were presented by Dr. Neil Wolkadoff and Dr. Gerald Haase at the 2020 meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine. The prospective, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial was completed at the Colorado Center for Health and Sport Science. Renowned Iron Man Triathlete and Medical Advisory Board President Dr. James Rouse explained that the study of Fuel4Thought(TM) shows that it improves brain activity energy by 49%, improves overall sports vision by 18%, improves auditory reaction time by 13%, and improves reaction time and hand-eye coordination by 24% (https://ibn.fm/4q3Oc). Rounding out a successful 2020, BergaMet North America entered into an exclusive performance-driven agreement with Xymogen(R) for the purchase of BergaMet North America’s Citrus Bergamot SuperFruit(TM). The agreement between BergaMet North America and the leading manufacturer and distributor of clinical-grade nutraceuticals has been three years in the making. Xymogen(R) is currently selling and distributing proprietary formulations of BergaCor(TM) and BergaCorPlus(TM) to over 20,000 doctors in their network (https://ibn.fm/iOSZb). Discussing the partnership with Xymogen(R), Pitts said it is a clear example of BergaMet North America’s strategic B2B goal of a continuing growth strategy. “We are very excited as this agreement provides significant revenue generation and distribution through Xymogen’s national market footprint,” Pitts said. This partnership is expected to help BergaMet and by extension the company solidify their position on the global market for botanical and plant-derived drugs, which was valued a $29.4 billion in 2017. The market is expected to continue growing and reach an estimated $39.6 billion by 2022, marking a CAGR of 6.1 percent (https://ibn.fm/DGrVD). The company’s focus is currently on the categories of heart and brain health, liver disease, women’s health, and immune function, resulting in a potential target audience of more than two hundred million people in the United States. The company experienced large growth over the last year and is operating nearly debt-free with minimal overhead costs. Lead by a strong and experienced executive team, the company plans to launch its proprietary products with an aggressive revenue outlook in mind and focus on continuing its growth strategy through 2021 and beyond.

• Fan Pass closed out February 2021 with an increase in numbers across the board, including social media reach and presence
• 317 new artists signed up for the platform during the month
• Growing focus on streaming as a favorable online environment for the relationship between the artist and the fans, as Square acquires Tidal

Mobile technology and marketing company Friendable (OTC: FDBL) announced that as February 2021 closed out, the company’s live streaming artist Fan Pass live streaming artist platform saw exponential growth across the board. According to a company press release, impression numbers for Fan Pass were up 81% from previous, live-streamed events. Artist events were up a total of 191%, accounted for by 32 artist events for the month, with fan and user sessions increasing by 64%. A total of 317 new artists signed up during the month, which may account for Fan Pass showing gains on Instagram by over 55% (https://ibn.fm/LRcF8). According to CEO Robert A. Rositano Jr., the statistics are confirmation of the fact that Fan Pass is the most complete and best artist-centric live streaming platform available to music artists. While it is one thing to be an “A-Lister” and have that exposure, the true talent (majority) of the artists gain a helping hand from the platform, allowing them to foster new opportunities and engage new audiences while developing a fan base that converts to revenue, he explained. “Fan Pass launched its platform as a solution for artists and their fans as the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and the associated shutdown has continued to severely hamstring the entertainment industry as a whole. The Company believes the virtual stage will be incorporated in all artist touring from now into the foreseeable future, protecting artist revenue streams should world or even local events limit earning potential,” Rositano added. Friendable isn’t the only company to change the way that streaming for artists is approached. Traditionally, streaming leaves artists frustrated and paid very little after services and labels take “their cut” of the profit. At the heels of the pandemic, it is becoming more apparent that artists want a more “artist-centric” approach, one that puts artists and fans together. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, the founder of Square, acknowledges the necessity for streaming to become about the relationship between the artist and the fans, not the relationship between the artist, the label, and the fans. The acknowledgment comes in the form of the acquisition of majority ownership in Tidal, a music streaming service indirectly owned by Shawn Carter, better known to his fans as Jay-Z (https://ibn.fm/LHLXp). Square will pay $297 million as a mixture of cash and stock in return for the controlling stake, which will make the original artists on the platform the second largest group of majority shareholders. Jay-Z is also set to become a member of Square’s Board of Directors as a part of the acquisition. “It comes down to one simple idea: finding new ways for artists to support their work. New ideas are found at intersections, and we believe there’s a compelling one between music and the economy. I knew Tidal was something special as soon as I experienced it, and it will continue to be the best home for music, musicians, and culture,” Dorsey said discussing the acquisition of Tidal, a platform that directly competes with Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music services. Despite the pandemic seemingly “winding down,” streaming services like Fan Pass and Tidal still have a significant role in the music industry overall, allowing artists and fans to interact safely, maintain engagement while providing artists with revenue-generating opportunities and fans with valuable content from the artists they admire.

The global cannabis market is projected to reach $90.4 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of 28% over the forecast period (https://ibn.fm/B52T0), and branding is expected to play a critical role in success as more players enter the market. Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF), a Canada-based cannabis company dedicated to producing premium strains and products through a genetics-focused approach, is fusing the power of branding with superior product quality through its acquisition of the iconic Lords of Grasstown brand. Born from the vision of Tyler Hazelwood, founder and director of Lords of Gastown, Grasstown is an established freedom-focused brand rooted in the Pacific Northwest’s motorcycle culture. The recent launch of the brand in California and British Columbia was highly successful, earning the brand a loyal following among motorcycle and cannabis enthusiasts through strategic partnerships and alliances in both those communities. “The team at Lords of Grasstown have done a remarkable job branding, designing, launching and marketing Grasstown in B.C. and California. The alliances are real and the followers like what they see,” said PacRoots CEO Patrick Elliott (https://ibn.fm/3Q9Ad). “We are thrilled to develop and expand Grasstown from Prince Rupert to San Diego. Tom and Tyler are authentic artists with a strong pedigree to prove it. We are inspired to have them as part of the team.” Besides leveraging branding as part of its overall corporate strategy, PACR is strongly committed to providing high-quality cannabis to increasingly discriminating and sophisticated consumers. The Company uses a genetics-based cultivation approach that has produced roughly 350 tested cultivars, including 50 super-elite strains revered by the industry for their potency and overall effectiveness. Along with optimizing for quality, the Company leverages genetic technology to produce plants that provide maximum yields with minimum labor costs for increased profitability. PACR recently completed a massive land acquisition of 250 acres with no zoning restrictions in Fraser Valley, one of Canada’s most productive and intensively farmed areas. The Company is also in the process of completing its 20,000 square foot cultivation facility in Lake Country, B.C. that will allow it to cycle through an elite line of high-grade cultivars across roughly 7,600 square feet of cultivation space. PACR’s selective breeding process results in a catalog featuring fewer lines with superior genetic characteristics, translating into a distinct competitive advantage in the rapidly growing cannabis industry. Along with the acquisition of Lords of Grasstown, the Company is positioned to take a significant market share through its overall strategy that combines iconic branding principles with a strict commitment to first-rate product quality.

• PULL subsidiary has submitted application to Health Canada to amend license to permit sales of product
• The submission follows recent announcement that Pure Extracts inked distribution agreement with an important Canadian Licensed Producer (“LP”)
• PULL plans on distributing exclusive vape, edible products to retail buyers across Canada

As a result of the its recently inked distribution agreement with an important Canadian LP, Pure Extracts Technologies (CSE: PULL) (OTC: PRXTF) (XFRA: A2QJAJ) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Extracts Manufacturing Corp., will be selling its exclusive, high-quality cannabis extract products to provincially authorized distributors and retailers throughout Canada by the end of April. The Company has also submitted an application to Health Canada to amend its license to permit the Company itself to sell cannabis extract products to provincially authorized distributors and retailers.

“This milestone dovetails perfectly with our recently signed distribution agreement,” said Pure Extracts’ CEO Ben Nikolaevsky. “We have all our bases covered now, and we will quickly and efficiently get our vape and edible products to retail buyers across Canada through our distribution partner while we wait to receive our own sales amendment from Health Canada.”

The distribution agreement calls for the LP to distribute Pure Extracts’ vape and edible products through its established provincial distribution channels. The agreement represents a significant opportunity to increase brand awareness and strengthen the sales for Pure Extracts’ Pure Pulls and Pure Chews branded products.

Currently, Pure Extracts’ portfolio of cannabis 2.0 products includes 34 proprietary formulations of Pure Pulls’ branded, full-spectrum oil (“FSO”) vape products and its new line of Pure Chews edible gummies (https://ibn.fm/tf7lt).

“We create products that are in high demand by provincially authorized distributors and retailers nationwide, and are looking forward to having our high-quality, FSO products in consumers’ hands early in Q2 of this year,” said Nikolaevsky.

Pure Extracts is also well positioned to partner with organizations planning to develop both functional and psychedelic products as the Company’s 10,000-square-foot facility is designed for EU-GMP certification, which allows for international sales. Pure Extracts has signed NDAs to explore joint development endeavors for product launches, as well as an advisory agreement with Dr. Alexander MacGregor, founder of Transpharm Canada Inc., the parent company of Toronto Institute of Pharmaceutical Technology, whose facility is a fully compliant Health Canada licensed Good Manufacturing Practice manufacturing and testing facility and is a full-service clinical development business that provides clinical trial services to biotechnology companies. The Company is positioned to be one of the dominant extraction companies and a leader in the rapid development and commercialization of functional and medicinal mushroom products.
