• Experts project demand for copper is set to rise in coming years
• Increased demand from power generation, EVs and electronic devices may push the copper supply deficit to 6.5 million MT
• “We are excited about this significant exploration program at Storm,” said Aston Bay CEO Thomas Ullrich

In a space projected to see significant growth and demand in the coming decade, Canadian minerals exploration company Aston Bay Holdings (TSX.V: BAY) (OTCQB: ATBHF) is focused on establishing a strong foothold. As an explorer of high-grade copper and gold deposits in North America, the company is beginning an aggressive exploration program focused on immediate resource growth and testing of large-scale copper exploration targets (https://ibn.fm/rQ59y).

“Copper is the third-most-used metal in the world, and experts believe demand for this important commodity is set to rise in the coming years,” reported a recent Investing News Network (“INN”) article (https://ibn.fm/VSznK). “The copper price saw strong gains in the early part of 2023 before sinking through the year’s second and third quarters. However, growth in Q4 allowed it close out the year close to its starting price.”

Long-term projections for the copper space indicate a significant increase in demand for the red metal. “By 2031, McKinsey expects demand from power generation, EVs and electronic devices to push the copper supply deficit to 6.5 million MT,” the INN article noted. “Market participants are particularly interested in copper’s usage in EVs. With many governments looking to eliminate the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles in the next 15 to 20 years, demand for EVs is going to make up an increasing portion of global car sales. Currently, EVs use between 38.5 and 83 kilograms of copper per vehicle. And even with new innovations, which analysts anticipate will reduce the average amount of copper per vehicle to 55 to 65 kilograms, the amount of copper needed across an estimated 40 million EVs by 2030 will still be significant.”

INN further noted that copper needed for constructing utility-scale power generation would add to demand as well. “According to the Copper Development Association, solar installations require about 5.5 MT of copper for every megawatt, while onshore wind turbines require 3.52 MT of copper and offshore wind turbines require 9.56 MT of copper,” the article reports. “In order to meet demand for renewables amid ambitious climate goals, the International Renewable Energy Agency says an average of 1,000 gigawatts will need to be added annually through 2030.”

With that backdrop, the exploration program starting at Aston Bay Holding’s Storm Copper Project comes at an ideal time. The field program, which started last month, includes an extensive 22,000 meters reverse circulation (“RC”) and diamond drilling program focused on several key components, including:

• testing the extensions of the mineralized zones at Storm
• resource definition of known high-grade copper (“Cu”) discoveries at several zones at Storm
• exploring for new high-grade copper zones along strike and below the existing prospects and copper discoveries
• exploring along the prospective 100-kilometer copper belt including the Blizzard, Tornado and Tempest prospects

In addition, the company noted that high-resolution surface electromagnetic (“EM”) surveys are planned at its underexplored Blizzard, Tornado and Tempest Prospect areas; the company is also continuing work on its permitting roadmap, with environmental, mining and metallurgical studies underway.

“We are excited about this significant exploration program at Storm,” said Aston Bay CEO Thomas Ullrich. “Our partner American West is fully financed and currently coordinating mobilization in order to conduct the 2024 resource expansion and exploration program. Geophysics and 22,000 meters of planned drilling will focus on expanding the known areas of near-surface, high-grade copper mineralization at several prospects at Storm, as well as continuing to explore for new targets at depth and along strike over the almost-100-kilometer prospective trend for sediment-hosted copper mineralization.”

Aston Bay is a publicly traded mineral exploration company exploring for high-grade copper and gold deposits in Virginia state and Nunavut territory in Canada. The company is currently exploring the high-grade Buckingham Gold Vein in central Virginia and is in advanced stages of negotiation on other lands with high-grade copper potential in the area.

• Temporary railroad shutdowns in December 2023 stranded nearly 10,000 rail cars on both sides of the U.S. and Mexico border with embargoed goods on over 60 trains
• With disruptions to cross-border trade on the rise, companies are seeking more reliable ways to organize, facilitate, and monitor their cross-border shipments
• Fr8Tech, a tech company on a mission to revolutionize cross-border shipping, has positioned itself as the go-to brand for such services through its Fr8App system
• Fr8App seamlessly connects shippers with carriers and drivers, and offers comprehensive real-time tracking, fleet management, live pricing, and transportation management

The ongoing migrant crisis has exposed the downsides of reliance on America’s railroad network (https://ibn.fm/CwfUV). Two international railway crossing bridges in Texas were temporarily shut down in December 2023 following a reported surge in smuggling of migrants through Mexico by train.  The shutdown stranded nearly 10,000 rail cars on both sides of the border, with goods embargoed on over 60 trains every day of the closure (https://ibn.fm/BgyXU).

Situations like these have highlighted the value of a reliable and dependable way to organize, facilitate, and monitor cross-border shipments, especially within the USMCA (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement) region. Freight Technologies (NASDAQ: FRGT) (“Fr8Tech”), a tech company that is transforming cross-border shipping by offering carriers and shippers unmatched flexibility, visibility, and simplicity, has been at the forefront of pushing for such services, mainly through its Fr8App system that has proven its reliability and versatility over time.

Most recently, Fr8App was selected by Envases Universales, one of the world’s largest packaging companies, to help manage transportation needs over the next 12 months. Fr8App will cover 24 dedicated routes, mainly from Mexico to the US, estimated to be worth more than $5 million (https://ibn.fm/Q5BKa). The company also marked its second year working with Amazon Mexico, a testament to its commitment to meeting customers’ needs and its continuous platform improvements.

“Our commitment to meeting customers’ needs and our continuous platform improvements have led to this exciting opportunity,” noted Javier Selgas, Fr8Tech’s CEO (https://ibn.fm/vJ0t2).

These achievements validate Fr8Tech’s offerings and their ability to offer a viable alternative to companies’ reliance on the railroad network. They also point to the power of technology and how it allows previously unattainable levels of flexibility, cost savings, and overall reliability for USMCA cross-border shipping. The Fr8App is supported by artificial intelligence (“AI”), machine learning, and cloud computing, providing an unrivaled freight-matching platform with a real-time portal for B2B cross-border and domestic shipping. With Fr8App, connecting shippers with carriers and drivers is efficient and seamless (https://ibn.fm/lq8oM).

Railway closures on US-Mexico border crossings might be inevitable in the current political environment.  However, the accompanying delays and financial impact to shippers need not be.  Fr8App understands the complexities of cross-border logistics and knows that disruptions, such as railway closures, might occur.  The company helps its customers navigate the process, providing business continuity and peace of mind.

As more challenges to cross-border trade emerge, Fr8Tech’s importance will become more pronounced.  The company has already positioned itself as the go-to brand for cross-border shipping solutions in the USMCA region and is poised to strengthen its market position in 2024.

• The streaming market is undergoing significant changes, with observers noting that the future of streaming is clearly being driven by the vast market opportunity it presents, with free ad-supported streaming platforms currently being the fastest-growing segment of the streaming business
• Bravo Multinational, a company forging a solid foundation through streaming media and technology, is looking to tap into this fast-growing market segment
• Bravo finalized the acquisition of the TVee NOW(TM) over-the-top (“OTT”) streaming platform, provided the company with the technology and music library streaming rights to offer content at no cost to the viewer
• Following the acquisition, Bravo now owns cutting-edge OTT streaming technology and is deploying a model that blends advertising-based video-on-demand (“AVOD”) and subscription-based video-on-demand (“SVOD”) services

For many years, the TV industry was segmented into production (studios), distribution (TV channels that aired the content), and platform (the cable TV and satellite providers that enabled the TV channels to air their content). However, this traditional model has been dismantled over the past two and a half decades thanks to rapid vertical consolidation. Today, streaming services produce, distribute, and provide a platform for their content. Traditional TV channels and production companies like Disney, Paramount, and NBC have not been left behind, and have entered the streaming space, with this move reducing or eliminating their heretofore reliance on cable TV and satellite providers (https://ibn.fm/kudFV).

Many consider video streaming one of the biggest drivers of transformation in the entertainment industry today. It has created a massive demand for content and brought more TV shows and movies and other content directly into our homes than ever before. Consumers have responded in kind, subscribing to more services to keep up with new releases. A recent Forbes Home survey, for instance, shows that 95% of Americans now pay for more than one streaming service, up from 86% in 2023 (https://ibn.fm/A1WgO).

However, despite this growth, most big-name streaming services are growing at a slower rate than before, with observers attributing this slow-down to the fact that the streamers have reached most of their possible audience. “The golden age of high-flying, big-spending streaming seems to be over. In its place, there’s a new thing booming in streaming. Free ad-supported platforms are the fastest-growing part of the streaming business right now,” reads an article in The Verge titled “The future of streaming is ads.” The article posits that this segment is “only going to get bigger from here” (https://ibn.fm/gNIsB).

Looking to tap into this expected growth is Bravo Multinational (OTC: BRVO), a company forging a solid foundation through streaming media and technology. Bravo finalized the acquisition of certain streaming assets of Streaming TVEE, Inc., including the TVee NOW(TM) streaming platform, which delivers content directly to users via the internet. The beta version of TVee NOW(TM) launched in Q1 2024.

The acquisition enabled Bravo to own cutting-edge, over-the-top (“OTT”) streaming technology, allowing it to deploy a hybrid model that blends advertising-based video-on-demand (“AVOD”) and subscription-based video-on-demand (“SVOD”) services. It also provided Bravo with the technology and music library streaming rights to offer content such as linear TV (traditional broadcast TV) and an array of free on-demand content, including but not limited to movies, series, shows, concerts, comedy specials, events, and more. Bravo is nonetheless also looking to form partnerships with Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (“FAST”) channels to enrich its platform with even more content.

AVOD and FAST are the two types of free streaming services. A FAST service is characterized by programmed always-on streaming channels that run 24/7 and include ads, while an AVOD service gives you access to a library of on-demand content and features ads. Both AVOD and FAST are expected to feature prominently in the future of streaming, given that the “future of TV is free, it has ads, and it involves a lot of channel surfing,” according to The Verge article.

Supporting this assertion is a Deloitte survey that found that 59% of users of streaming services in the United States watch AVOD video streaming services that are either discounted or free. The survey also found that 44% of people had canceled at least one paid service in the previous half a year (https://ibn.fm/fWXRO). In addition, decisions by the likes of Netflix, Peacock, and Disney Plus, which previously were SVOD-only services, to add an ad-supported plan further give color to the assessment that the future of streaming is ads.

Against this backdrop, Bravo’s move to acquire and subsequently launch TVee NOW is advantageous on multiple fronts: it enables the company to tap into the growth projected within the various segments of the streaming market. In its market analysis report, for instance, Omdia noted that FAST channel revenue rose about 20x between 2019 and 2022 and is expected to triple between 2022 and 2027 to reach $12 billion (https://ibn.fm/6Ldkv).

Statista separately projects that the global AVOD market will achieve a revenue of $48.32 billion by 2024. It is expected to grow further by a CAGR of 9.53%, reaching $63.50 billion by 2027 (https://ibn.fm/xxMwk). The SVOD market is expected to grow from $108.5 billion in 2024 to $137.7 billion by 2027, representing a CAGR of 8.27% (https://ibn.fm/Qixxc), while OTT revenue is expected to grow from $154 billion in 2022 to $215 billion by 2029 (https://ibn.fm/ce2Df).

• Correlate Energy Corp. is a distributed energy solutions company focused on solar energy installation opportunities as well as other clean energy infrastructure improvements
• Federal government incentives as well as decreasing costs of solar installation are helping to scale clean energy adoption across the United States
• Correlate Energy’s projects tend to take about a year from initial contact to completion, as exemplified by recently completed and commissioned contracts with American Tire Distributors and Continental Envelope for rooftop solar projects
• The company’s average contract size is about $2 million, and CIPI currently has about $150 million of in-progress projects in various stages of development

A Reuters report this month notes that the United States has doubled the pace of cutting carbon emissions through the efforts of solar, wind and energy storage projects since the passage of the federal clean energy investment Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) in 2022, while hydrogen, electric vehicle charging station, nuclear energy and geothermal projects have struggled to take advantage of the law’s funding opportunities (https://ibn.fm/r6i1X).

Distributed energy solutions company Correlate Energy (OTCQB: CIPI) is enjoying an increase in profitable opportunities as it focuses its infrastructure know-how on setting up solar projects for corporate clients ready to build on the IRA’s benefits.

“We have a constant conveyor belt of a maturity of opportunities which allow us to smartly invest in different parts of the business,” Correlate Energy President and CEO Todd Michaels was quoted as saying in a recent Yahoo! Finance article (https://ibn.fm/3L3Qx). “Solar is the most applicable tech right now. It’s beating the grid for cost. You can easily do a 10% to 20% discount of what a person pays the local utility.”

CIPI’s most recent project announcements include an up-to-40 MW microgrid project outside of the Los Angeles metro area for a customer representing one of California’s largest privately owned oil and gas corporations (https://ibn.fm/ErXOz) and a 3.8 MW solar energy installation project (later expanded to 5.2 MW) for Pennsylvania-based stored energy solutions company EnerSys (https://ibn.fm/Se6Yk).

CIPI has also recently completed and commissioned already in the pipeline rooftop solar energy systems for American Tire Distributors’ headquarters in North Carolina (https://ibn.fm/vHDFf) and for Continental Envelope’s manufacturing plant in Illinois (https://ibn.fm/vGLTU).

“You have these proven businesses that are super well run that are looking for every edge to reduce cost and improve margin,” Michaels told Proactive Investors during a December interview (https://ibn.fm/pIej5). “Our average contract size today is about $2 million. … We typically work with customers like that that have, let’s say, 10 to 100 locations across the country, so it’s not usually just the one-off small, private business. It’s typically a portfolio business that has multiple operations.”

Correlate started with three people in January 2022 and has since begun to scale the business into additional markets with increased staff on the operations team and the revenue that comes in from its completed projects.

“It’s been all about executing on what we had in ’22 and setting ourselves up for doubling again, tripling again in the coming year,” Michaels said in December. “We have about $150 million of immediately actual projects that are (in) various stages of … development. About $22 million of those are, currently like, people are literally out there deployed onsite getting these projects completed. We have about another $50 million of projects that are fully contracted, that are mobilizing — they’re typically waiting for a utility approval, some permit, or are waiting for next summer to build versus building them in a place where we might be doing wintertime issues. So those are kind of the ready-to-go projects.”

The tax credit opportunities and the decreasing cost of solar installation are helping to drive Correlate’s growth. Installing solar panels costs (on average) about $2.86 per watt before taking advantage of available incentives, which is more than 65 percent cheaper than the $8.50 per watt price tag in 2010 (https://ibn.fm/r6rya).
