Today's podcast overview/transcript:

From company news sources

Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we will be looking at announcements from FSD Pharma Inc. trading on the CSE as HUGE and the OTCQB as FSDDF, CANNAMERICA BRANDS CORP. trading on the CSE as CANA and Hempco Food and Fiber Inc. trading on the TSX-Venture as HEMP,

FSD Pharma Inc. announced the launch of a pilot clinical study in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, by its strategic R&D partner, SciCann Therapeutics ("SciCann"). The study is designed to test the safety and efficacy of SciCann's proprietary "Steady Stomach" cannabidiol (CBD) combination product for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients. This study follows the previously reported efficacy results from a preclinical study in rodent models which demonstrated a three-fold increased efficacy in lowering abdominal inflammation levels with the advanced combination product as compared to CBD alone.

The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study will enroll 20 patients in a cross-over design to comply with the highest standards of rigorous scientific validity and certification demands of international medical regulatory authorities.

Under the terms of FSD's strategic agreement with SciCann, the Company holds exclusive manufacturing and distribution rights for the "Steady Stomach" product in Canada.

CANNAMERICA BRANDS CORP. announced the launch of its branded cannabis concentrates in Maryland. These high-quality concentrates are available to dispensaries across the state through CannAmerica's partnership with FGM Processing LLC ("FGM Processing"), which operates a 7,500 square foot cannabis extraction facility in Charles County, Maryland, and was one of the first extraction licenses in the state.

"We look forward to working with our partners at FGM Processing to increase the medical cannabis product offerings available to Maryland's patient community, with many new and exciting products being developed in our Maryland cannabis laboratory," said Dan Anglin, CannAmerica Co-Founder and CEO. "As one of the first fifteen (15) licensed hydrocarbon cannabis processors in the state of Maryland, our terpene-rich product line is based on our many years of experience bringing quality concentrates and distillate formulations to cannabis consumers and patients in Colorado's regulated marketplace."

CannAmerica products available to licensed Maryland dispensaries include concentrates, such as the Company's Rick Simpson Oil (RSO), as well as Full Spectrum Distillate and Disposable Vape Pen lines-both available in Indica, Sativa and Hybrid.

Hempco Food and Fiber Inc. provided a corporate update on recent developments of its strategic growth plans.

The recent roll-out of the new Cannabis Act further strengthens Hempco's position for growth and expansion under its Tri-Crop Strategy with three key revenue streams from the industrial plant:

New Market Expansion

Increasing bulk distribution of hemp seeds, hemp protein and hemp oil into new markets is a core part of the Company's growth strategy. Hempco has just signed an agreement with one of New Zealand's largest hemp importers/distributors. The expansion coincides with the development of Hempco's new 56,000 square foot production facility in Nisku, Alberta, capable of processing nearly 3.0 million kg of hemp seeds annually. This facility will be the largest of its type in Canada for the production of hemp-based products

Planet Hemp Superfood™ Product Line and Market Expansion

After successfully launching its Plant Hemp Superfood™ line in Mexico, Hempco is expanding this product line's geographical distribution footprint into Canada. The Company signed agreements with key health and wellness food distributors Jonluca (a Canadian Business' Growth 500 company) and Satau, to extend market coverage in Ontario and Quebec respectively.

The Company also recently launched two new line extensions: 'Super-Seeds' in Original and Savoury Onion varieties. 'Super-Seeds' are ideal as a snack, and can be used to complement salads, on avocado toast or on their own.

Tri-Crop Opportunities for Hempco and farmers with Bill C-45

Bill C-45 positions Hempco for growth and expansion with three revenue streams from the hemp plant:

Hemp seeds for hemp-based foods;

Hemp stalk for fiber and hurd that is used in textiles and industrial applications; and

Flowers and leaves for CBD extraction.

The flowers and leaves are valuable components of the plant that were once required to be left behind as waste materials in the fields after each harvest. Bill C-45 allows Hempco to work with farmers to collect the flowers and leaves and implement its' Tri-Crop Strategy to ensure none of the plant is left as waste.

Coinbase Not Going Public "Any Time Soon", Korea's Financial Services Commissioner Affirms Legality of Banks Working with Crypto Exchanges, Indian Authorities Consider Ban of Private Crypto Use and Brazilian Banks Reopen Local Exchange Accounts

In an interview with Bloomberg, Coinbase President and COO Asiff Hirji said the company had no immediate plans for an initial public offering (IPO). Hirji said the company would eventually, but that it was not the most important thing to consider at this time.

"There's not going to be an IPO any time soon. We have so much to do. At some point, yes, we will go public, but that's not even close to the top of the list of things we're worried about right now."

CCN reports that the commissioner of Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC), Choi Jong-Ku, has affirmed the legitimacy of banks working with cryptocurrency exchanges. Choi stated that as long as crypto exchanges observe the Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti Money Laundering (AML) systems, there should be no barrier in working with banks.

"There exists no issue in banks providing virtual bank accounts to cryptocurrency exchanges. If digital asset trading platforms have KYC and AML systems in place, there is no problem in issuing virtual bank accounts to exchanges,"

A meeting of India's Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC) yesterday considered the banning of the private use of cryptocurrencies. A Press Information Bureau release from the meeting indicates that the council talked about developing a legal framework to make private use illegal but to urge growth in blockchain technology.

The Council also deliberated on the issues and challenges of Crypto Assets/Currency and was briefed about the deliberations in the High-level Committee chaired by the Secretary (Economic Affairs) to devise an appropriate legal framework to ban use of private crypto currencies in India and encouraging the use of Distributed Ledger Technology, as announced in the Budget 2018-19.

Two major Brazilian banks, Banco do Brasil and Santander Brasil, have reopened the accounts of local crypto exchange Bitcoin Max, according to Portal do Bitcoin. This follows a preliminary ruling by the Federal District and Territorial Court that the banks had failed to notify Bitcoin Max of the closure which violates consumer protection rules. If the banks had failed to reopen the accounts, they would have been fined.

Investorideas.com Newswire - #Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces Changes to Board of Directors and Provides Project Update

#Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces Changes to Board of Directors and Provides Project Update

Vancouver, British Columbia - October 31, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: SIL.V; NYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Hannes Portmann to the Board of Directors replacing George Sanders, who is retiring from the Board. SilverCrest is also pleased to provide a brief update of ongoing activities at the Las Chispas project.

Mr. Portmann is a mining executive with significant management and capital markets experience. Through May 2018, he spent 10 years with New Gold Inc., ultimately serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of the intermediate gold producer. Previously, Mr. Portmann served as Executive Vice President, Business Development with primary responsibilities including corporate development, investor relations, human resources, and exploration. Prior to New Gold, Mr. Portmann was a member of the Merrill Lynch investment banking mining group and the assurance and advisory practices of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. Mr. Portmann holds a Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering from Queen's University and a Masters of Management and Professional Accounting from the Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, "We would like to thank George Sanders for his leadership and guidance during the Company's expansion of the Las Chispas project. His advice and strategic expertise made a significant contribution to SilverCrest's success as we navigated a challenging mining investment climate. We are happy to welcome Hannes Portmann to the Board of Directors. Hannes brings significant strategic planning, finance and capital markets experience to the Board, which should prove invaluable as we look to build shareholder value by advancing the Las Chispas project and the Company."

On October 2, 2018, SilverCrest retained the services of Tetra Tech Inc. of Vancouver, BC to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Las Chispas project. The PEA will consider the conceptual economics of developing a 1,000 to 1,500 tonne per day underground mining operation with a counter-current decantation facility (CCD) and Merrill Crowe recovery circuit similar to the nearby Santa Elena and Mercedes mines. The PEA is expected to be completed in Q1, 2019. As part of the PEA, the Company is completing expansion and in-fill drilling and detailed metallurgy testwork at Las Chispas. Given the high-grade nature of Las Chispas, the Company is evaluating cyanidation with a possible add-on flotation circuit followed by intense leaching for greater than 1,000 grams per tonne silver equivalent material. This test work will help determine the potential for higher silver recoveries using both cyanidation and flotation methods. Initial metallurgical testwork completed in November 2017 showed average recoveries of 86.6% for silver and 98% for gold using standard cyanidation only.

SilverCrest is proceeding with the construction of an exploration decline to access the Babicanora Vein, Area 51 zone. The Company is finalizing its selection of contractors to construct this decline, estimated to be 500 metres long, 4.5 metres wide by 4.0 metres in height. The work will also include drifting 600 to 800 metres along the strike of vein mineralization to collect information on vein grade and width continuity, reconciliation with the resource model, geotechnical parameters, mineability, and bulk sampling for additional metallurgical testwork. During the construction of the exploration decline, the Company will set up drill stations to further in-fill drill the Area 51 zone and test for extensions at depth. The Company expects to be drifting in high-grade mineralization and stockpiling of this material in the second half of 2019. As previously stated in the Company's May 2018 prospectus offering, the total estimated cost of the decline and associated exploration work is approximately US$3 million, which will be funded by the Company's current cash position of approximately C$12.3 million.

ABOUT SILVERCREST METALS INC.

SilverCrest is a Canadian precious metals exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, BC, that is focused on new discoveries, value-added acquisitions, and targeting production in Mexico's historic precious metal districts. The Company's current focus is on the high-grade, historic Las Chispas mining district in Sonora, Mexico. SilverCrest is the first company to successfully drill-test the historic Las Chispas Project resulting in numerous discoveries. The Company is led by a proven management team in all aspects of the precious metal mining sector, including taking projects through discovery, finance, on time and on budget construction, and production.

Investorideas.com - NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: $NXTD) Subsidiary - Fit Pay, Inc. News: Mastercard and Garmin® Expand Garmin Pay™ Contactless Payments to Maestro European Accountholders

NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: $NXTD) Subsidiary - Fit Pay, Inc. News: Mastercard and Garmin® Expand Garmin Pay™ Contactless Payments to Maestro European Accountholders

SEBASTIAN, Florida - October 30, 2018 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Mastercard, Garmin International, Inc., and Fit Pay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), today announced that the Garmin Pay™ contactless payment feature will be available for Maestro cards issued by major banks in Europe, including KBC Bank and Insurance (including CBC and KBC Brussels) in Belgium, Rabobank and ABN AMRO in Netherlands and BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas in Italy. The contactless payment feature and digital wallet, which is available on 10 of Garmin's latest smartwatches, enables consumers to make highly secure contactless payments at near-field communication-enabled (NFC) point-of-sale (POS) terminals.

"By adding Maestro, our issuers will be able to expand this innovative solution to their entire consumer base, which will result in more connected and digitally native customers than ever," said Paolo Battiston, EVP Digital Payments & Labs Europe, Mastercard.

Garmin Pay, which launched in November 2017, allows Garmin users to make contactless payments free from having their phone or wallet present. The payment feature includes a digital wallet, which is integrated into the Garmin Connect™ user application. Garmin Pay is now available on 10 of the company's smartwatches, including the D2™ Delta S, D2 Delta, D2 Delta PX, fēnix® 5S Plus, fēnix 5 Plus, fēnix 5X Plus, Forerunner® 645, Forerunner 645 Music, vívoactive® 3 and vívoactive 3 Music.

"We are committed to expanding Garmin Pay support to our customers around the world, and we are excited to officially offer that service to Maestro cardholders," said Joe Schrick, Garmin vice president of fitness. "Now, athletes and adventurers throughout Europe can leave their wallet at home when they go to the gym or for a run, making it easier than ever to just get up and go."

Maestro accountholders from numerous participating issuing banks throughout Europe, including KBC in Belgium, Rabobank and ABN AMRO in Netherlands and BNL Gruppo BNP Paribas in Italy, will have the ability to add their account to Garmin Pay, enabling them to make "tap and go" payments at any point-of-sale terminal that accepts contactless payments. Additional issuers on the Maestro network will be added soon.

A February 2018 study by Mastercard, found that one quarter (24 percent) of Europeans expect to start using "tap and go" contactless payments with a smartwatch, bracelet, keyring or other wearable. Between 2018 and 2017, contactless spending on Mastercard and Maestro grew by 145 percent.

"Adding Maestro is a major step forward in expanding the global footprint of Garmin Pay, which is now available in 26 countries and through more than 200 issuers," said Michael Orlando, COO of NXT-ID and President of Fit Pay, Inc. "Mastercard and Garmin have been tremendous partners as we have begun providing consumers worldwide with more convenient, secure and seamless ways to pay."

Garmin Pay is powered by FitPay's Token Requester Management Platform, which enables cardholders to securely add their payment credentials to devices that are integrated with FitPay's token management solution. The platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders' account information with a unique digital identifier (a "token"), to transact highly secure contactless payments.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:

From company news sources

Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com Potcast - following Cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we will be looking at announcements from Aphria Inc. trading on the TSX as APH and US OTC as APHQF, Namaste Technologies Inc. trading on the TSX-Venture as N, Australis Capital Inc. trading on the CSE as AUSA and Cannvas MedTech Inc. trading on the CSE as MTEC.

Aphria Inc. announced today that its common shares have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and will commence trading effective the open of markets on November 2, 2018.

Aphria's shares will trade on the NYSE under ticker symbol "APHA". The Company's ticker symbol on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) will also change from "APH" to "APHA", effective November 2, 2018. Existing shares of Aphria, which previously traded on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol "APHQF" will now trade on the NYSE.

"Listing on the NYSE provides Aphria with access to the largest equity market in the world, with increased exposure to a vast array of US institutional and retail investors. This strategic move aligns directly with our growth ambitions as we enter an elite peer group of respected, high-profile corporate brands listed on the NYSE," said Vic Neufeld, Aphria CEO.

Namaste Technologies Inc. announced that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cannmart Inc., has signed a medical cannabis supply agreement with Maple Leaf Green World (NEO: MGW, OTCQX: MGWFF), whereby Cannmart will purchase medical cannabis from Maple Leaf to offer in its online platform. Subject to the terms of the Agreement, Cannmart will have the right of first refusal ("ROFR") on 100% of the total production of cannabis from Maple Leaf's facility.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Maple Leaf grants Cannmart the exclusive option (but not the obligation) to purchase all of its products, upon the Maple Leaf's receipt of a license to produce and sell cannabis pursuant to applicable legislation and regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Maple Leaf shall first offer products to Cannmart and should Cannmart decide not to purchase the offered products from the Maple Leaf, Maple Leaf shall have full liberty to sell products to third parties.

The Agreement with Maple Leaf, including the ROFR on production further solidifies Cannmart's future supply chain of unique cannabis products to be sold through its online platform. Cannmart holds the first "sales-only" license to be issued to a non-cultivator. Cannmart's goal is to offer a unique selection of high-quality cannabis products sourced from Licensed Producers across Canada.

This announcement falls in line with yesterday's announcement of Cannmart Inc. signing a medical cannabis supply agreement with RMMI Corp.'s (CSE: RMMI) wholly-owned subsidiary, Rocky Mountain Marijuana Inc., whereby Cannmart will purchase medical cannabis from RMMI to offer in its online platform. Cannmart will also have the right of first refusal ("ROFR") on 20% of RMMI's gross production.

Australis Capital Inc. announced that the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Body and Mind Inc. (CSE: BAMM, US OTC: BMMJ) to purchase units and debentures of BaM. BaM is a publicly traded company investing in high quality medical and recreational cannabis cultivation and production and retail. BaM products include dried flower, edibles, topicals, extracts as well as GPEN Gio cartridges. BaM marijuana strains have won numerous awards including the Las Vegas Hempfest Cup 2016, High Times Top Ten, the NorCal Secret Cup and the Emerald Cup.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Australis will acquire (i) 16,000,000 units of BAM, each comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (the "Warrants"), at a purchase price of $0.40 per unit for $6,400,000, and (ii) $1,600,000 principal amount 8% unsecured convertible debentures of BaM (the "Debentures") maturing two years following the date of issue (collectively, the "Financing").

"We are solely focused on leveraging our resources and penetrating markets aligned with our growth vectors," stated Scott Dowty, Chief Executive Officer of Australis. "BaM checks all the boxes with preeminent brands, first rate domain experience, ideal market positioning and a superb culture. Together with our strategic partners and expansive eco-system, BaM's vertically integrated, multi-state operations will super charge our move into key geographic regions in the United States. We are fully committed to supporting BaM's expansion into Ohio, building out operations in Nevada and supplying additional brands into distribution channels with a keen focus on creating value for our collective shareholders."

Cannvas MedTech Inc. announced the November addition of the Health & Fitness module to the Cannvas.Me education platform, for those who care about their health and are looking for more information on how the potential benefits of medical cannabis treatments can be combined with fitness and training activities to lead a healthy lifestyle.

"The Health & Fitness module is a natural addition to our Cannvas.Me educational platform as it takes a holistic approach to living a healthy cannabis lifestyle," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "The new module highlights the benefits of combining fitness activities with the use of medical cannabis and has tips on best practices should you choose to combine the two. Coupled with our Cannvas Culinary module, encouraging nutritious choices when cooking with cannabis, we are committed to continue advocating for the beneficial use of cannabis within an active and healthy lifestyle."

Launching in November, the Cannvas.Me Health & Fitness module includes information on augmenting an active lifestyle with the use of cannabis. With valuable information on basic fitness training and more detailed tips on incorporating cannabis in different forms, Cannvas.Me helps its users kickstart a fitness routine and discover how cannabis products can boost recovery from strenuous activity. The high nutritional value of cannabis can also help positively impact any fitness or exercise routine by helping in pre- and post-exercise activities to boost recovery.
