#Lithiumstocks Snapshot: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)


#Lithiumstocks Snapshot: (OTCQB: $ENRT) (CSE: $TOP.C) (TSXV: $SLL.V) (NYSE: $LTHM) (TSX: $ORL.TO)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - February 21, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, one of the first global investor news source covering lithium stocks issues a snapshot looking at the projected growth demand for lithium and how lithium miners are looking to meet the growing global demand.

According to Research and Markets, the lithium ion battery market is estimated to grow from USD 37.4 billion in 2018 to USD 92.2 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 16.2% between 2018 and 2024. The growth of the lithium ion battery market is driven by an increase in demand for plug-in vehicles, growing need for automation and battery-operated material-handling equipment in industries, growing demand for smart devices and other industrial goods, and high requirement of lithium-ion batteries for various industrial applications.

Electric Vehicle (EV) metals are all in demand; lithium, cobalt, rare earths, graphite, nickel, and copper. Here is how a few lithium companies are betting on the future and ramping up.

Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB:ENRT) (CSE:TOP) is looking to expand its lithium capacity, having recently announced that all drill core sample assays have been received from the four resource definition holes and one metallurgical test hole. The best hole for grade and thickness was TOP-02* that averaged 1,231 ppm li over 262 feet, Including 1,368 ppm li over 186 feet in the main reduced zone.


Drilling confirms widespread lithium mineralization on the property. This zone appears to have a regional NE trend starting from the Southwest on Cypress Development’s proposed high-grade starter pit, with an average grade of ~ 1,105 ppm Li and running through the project and then onto Noram Ventures project to the northeast where they have outlined a shallow resource to ~ 50 feet averaging 1,060 ppm li.

“Drilling has not only verified the Company’s expectations for the potential of the lithium horizon on our property but we have been able to show by the drill bit that the drill intersections to date indicate any future outlined resource could have Lithium values exceeding those of the proposed high grade starter pit envisioned on the Cypress Development property to our southwest,” stated President, Robert McAllister.

Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV:SLL.V) (OTC:STLHF) also reported on a maiden lithium resource statement for its approximately 30,000 acre Project (aka TETRA Project) in the south-western region of Arkansas, USA.  The maiden resource report includes 802,000 metric tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) at the Inferred Resource Category.  Combined with Standard Lithium’s other project in Southern Arkansas, this results in a total combined Arkansas lithium brine resource of 3,888,000 tonnes LCE.

Robert Mintak, CEO said, “This combined project in Southern Arkansas positions us as the largest lithium brine resource in the US; a significantly expanding market that currently relies on imports of foreign lithium.”  Dr. Andy Robinson, President and COO of Standard Lithium continued “Our collaboration with TETRA Technologies was fundamental in allowing Standard Lithium to gain a meaningful foothold in the south-west Arkansas Project area, and this maiden resource estimate is validation of the high resource potential we identified in this highly prospective region.  We look forward to tighter definition of this resource and developing its potential in parallel with the Lanxess property.”

Companies like Livent Corporation (NYSE: LTHM) who recently reported its fourth quarter and full-year 2018 results have seen the benefits of increased lithium demand.  For the year, Livent reported revenue of $443 million, an increase of 27 percent compared to 2017.

"We delivered revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2018 in-line with our prior expectations," said Paul Graves, President and Chief Executive Officer of Livent Corporation. "Looking ahead to 2019, we expect revenue growth in the high teens percentage, driven largely by higher volumes and a stable pricing environment."

"The fundamental drivers of demand in our industry continue to be positive. In particular, electric vehicle sales that are consistently exceeding even the most bullish forecasts, as well as battery technology developments that are increasingly favoring lithium hydroxide.  We remain confident that Livent will continue to be a leader in the performance lithium compounds industry in the coming years."

Orocobre Limited (OTC: OROCF) (TSX: ORL.TO) provided an update on the completion of pumping test activities at the Cauchari JV property located in Jujuy Province, Argentina.
The exploration program is being managed by JV partner Advantage Lithium Corp., who holds 75% of Cauchari. Orocobre owns 33.5% of Advantage Lithium's issued capital and 25% directly in the joint venture.
More lithium projects like Enertopia’s are expected as lithium demand continues to be driven by emerging technologies, and according to projections, this market has many booming years ahead of it.

How #Cybersecurity Experts are Leading Companies into a New Era of Security; (CSE: $VAI.C) (OTC: $VTRL) (NYSE: $BAH) (NASDAQ: $CHKP) (NYSE: $ACN)

How #Cybersecurity Experts are Leading Companies into a New Era of Security; (CSE: $VAI.C) (OTC: $VTRL) (NYSE: $BAH) (NASDAQ: $CHKP) (NYSE: $ACN)



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 21, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering defense and security stocks issues a  snapshot looking at the current cybersecurity landscape and how experts and service providers are shifting companies into a new era of security; beyond a “ bigger wall” mindset. 


Investor Ideas turned to cybersecurity expert Roger Cressey at Liberty Group Ventures, LLC for insight into the sector and what is needed to address current and future threats.  Cressey was formerly with Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH), Good Harbor Consulting, held senior cyber security and counterterrorism positions in the Clinton and Bush Administrations and was an on-air counterterrorism analyst with NBC News.

Cressey said, “We have been very slow on understanding how to integrate cybersecurity into our overall business operations.” 

Listen to full interview with Roger Cressey:

According to recent commentary from Consulting.US, “The interest in cybersecurity consultancy is an international phenomenon. Saudi Arabia in June entered into an agreement with Booz Allen Hamilton, which will see the American consulting firm train Saudi cybersecurity experts. In a report that analyzed 158 UK-based cybersecurity start-ups, consulting firm Wavestone found that demand for cybersecurity services rose steeply in 2018.“

VirtualArmour International Inc. (CSE:VAI) (OTC:VTLR), a global cybersecurity and managed services provider, is gearing up to launch a new version of their proprietary CloudCastr client portal and prevention platform, and company CTO, Andrew Douthwaite explains how regulation is healthy for promoting good security.

“The more regulation the better, so we can keep this drive toward good security going forward,” he said.

“One way VirtualArmour has been able to keep clients in the loop with regard to security risks and data, is their Cloudcastr client portal, a proprietary monitoring and visualization platform.”

Douthwaite explained that the platform provides “…an overview of current threats that are happening, all of the services that we’re offering to that customer, access to our managed service engineers and has other functionalities such as secure file share.”

Douthwaite said that the platform is being updated all the time and that clients can anticipate a 2.0 which will boast even more capabilities.

“Cloudcastr has been continually developed from there, adding new features all the time,” he said. “And we’re going for a new big launch, which is being developed…of Cloudcastr 2.0. It will include a lot of new features, such as reporting, invoicing and some more predictability pieces around the security environment.”

Listen to full interview with CTO Andrew Douthwaite:

According to Accenture (NYSE: ACN), one of the largest cyber consultancy firms, the average cost of malware attack spending and the top cost to companies is $2.4 million and the average time to resolve a malicious insiders attack is 50 days.  Their approach; historically, the energy spent on securing data has been focused on building a better “wall.” It’s an approach that no longer works in today’s perimeter-less world where some seven billion connected devices (80 billion by 2025*) have opened a liquid stream of data vulnerable to attack.

“It is time to shift our security posture to focus on a liquid approach to cybersecurity - where strong, immutable identities, hardened data and an ever-changing polymorphic attack surface enable us to move beyond cyber resilience to a constant state of business operations.”

Recent breaking news in the sector; Infocyte, a cybersecurity company focused on proactive threat detection and incident response and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP), a leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, said they are partnering to deliver faster threat detection and incident response services on compromised hosts. As part of the partnership, Infocyte's platform, Infocyte HUNT will be integrated with Check Point's suite of advanced services. Both companies will share threat intelligence to improve their threat detection and incident response capabilities.

Check Point's recent Cyber Attack Trends Report highlights the growing concern around advanced threats. New forms of malware, cryptominers, ransomware and other cyber-attacks continue to show alarming rates of success across cloud, traditional, and hybrid networks. As cyber-attacks evolve, they become better at penetrating deep into IT networks and hiding from traditional detection technologies. In an effort to fight back, companies are adopting proactive practices like post-breach threat detection and remediation solutions that complement their existing cyber security defenses.

Turning back to how Roger Cressey sees the landscape, he said, “I do think things are starting to evolve and I think there is a higher level of awareness, especially in corporations, that I have not seen in a number of years and that’s encouraging.”

#Blockchain Stocks Trending Again Thanks to #JPMCoin; (CSE: $LLT.C) (OTC: $LLNKF) (TSXV: $HIVE.V) (OTCQX: $HVBTF) (TSXV: $GLXY.V) (NASDAQ: $RIOT)

#Blockchain Stocks Trending Again Thanks to #JPMCoin; (CSE: $LLT.C) (OTC: $LLNKF) (TSXV: $HIVE.V) (OTCQX: $HVBTF) (TSXV: $GLXY.V) (NASDAQ: $RIOT)


Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – February 21, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering blockchain and cryptocurrency issues a special edition of the Crypto Corner looking at the recent run in cryptocurrencies and blockchain stocks following recent news of the  JPM Coin.

With a heart-stopping 180o turn on February 14thJ.P. Morgan  became the first US bank to create and successfully test a digital coin representing a fiat currency. The JPM Coin will use blockchain-based technology, enabling the instantaneous transfer of payments between institutional accounts.


Adding fuel to the fire, in a recent interview at the IBM Think 2019 conference, Jesse Lund (VP of Blockchain and Digital Currencies for IBM) said IBM has several “letters of intent” with major banks to release digital currencies.

From finance to supply chain, healthcare, real estate, smart contracts, IoT and more, the applications for blockchain ledger technology seem endless.

Blockchaintechnologies.com recently reported, “Huge tech companies like IBM have already seen the potential for blockchain supply chain management and have web 3.0 solutions in development or pilot program stages.”

Litelink Technologies Inc. (CSE: LLT(OTC: LLNKF) is also aiming to take logistics to a whole new level. “Our platforms use the power of blockchain, artificial intelligence and the rich features in the Amazon Cloud to change the way the world works in logistics, digital wallets & payment solutions.”

Litelink’s Shift product uses blockchain to track shipments, handle invoicing, payments and reviews and ratings.  For audit and dispute resolution, their blockchain tech records the time and location of arrival at the location/gate and dock via GPS location data, records the receipt of the signed BOL, as well as runs AI algorithms to determine whether there are any exception conditions present at delivery. The proprietary Adversarial Permissioned Blockchain platform, based on JP Morgan’s platform, can also provide an early warning for potential future disputes, allowing the parties to proactively seek solutions rather than pointing fingers later.

The company recently announced an update on the progress and planned the rollout of its 1SHIFT Logistics platform.

Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE.V(OTCQX:HVBTF) just announced up-listing to the OTCQX. "Upgrading to the OTCQX is an important event for the Company," said Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman. "The OTCQX equips HIVE with better liquidity and exposure for existing and future US investors as we continue our long-term strategy to enhance shareholder value. HIVE is an industry leader among publicly traded blockchain infrastructure companies and trading on OTCQX in the US provides investors with an opportunity to participate in the long-term potential of blockchain and to invest in a stock that is highly correlated to the price movements of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum." 


Galaxy Digital Holdings Ltd. (TSXV: GLXY), a diversified asset management firm dedicated to the digital assets and blockchain technology industry recently reported preliminary assets under management of $416.5 million as of January 31, 2019, inclusive of committed capital in a closed-end vehicle.

The Company says, “Our mission is to stand behind companies that we believe will be successful in helping to accelerate and promote the institutional adoption of blockchain technology and digital assets.”

Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NasdaqCM:RIOT), a company that says its focus is on Bitcoin and general blockchain technology has been one of the biggest movers in the recent run.  Trying to regain investor confidence, earlier this month the company announced its Board of Directors is implementing leadership and governance structure changes. Jeff McGonegal is being named Chief Executive Officer, replacing departing Chris Ensey, who had joined the Company in January 2018 as its Chief Operating Officer and had been appointed interim Chief Executive Officer, in September 2018. Jeffrey Vormittag, Chief Operating Officer of the Company's subsidiary, Riot Blockchain Canada Inc. will also be leaving the company.

“Riot Blockchain's Board of Directors is very focused on delivering value for the Company's shareholders and believes that a new streamlined leadership structure is critical to achieving success, while also achieving cost reductions.”

It appears the recent complacency in the sector has shifted to a new sense of optimism and for now, the trend is the friend in blockchain stocks.
