Sector Snapshot - The Lucrative #CBD #Pet Products Market (OTC: $HIPH) (OTC: $LRSV) (OTC: $MJNA) (OTC: $EDXC)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – August 28, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering cannabis and pet stocks releases a snapshot reporting on the continued growth in both product development and availability in the CBD pet product market as more companies enter the space and consumer awareness and demand increase.



In a recent news article, “In the U.S., sales of CBD products for all species are approaching US$500 million, reported David Lummis, lead pet market analyst for Packaged Facts, in a column in Pet Product News. Citing data reported by the Washington Post, he said those sales are projected to soar to as much as US$22 billion by 2024.”

The article continued, Packaged Facts’ own data shows that sales of CBD products for pets specifically are only a fraction of the total, about U.S.$25 million, but growing quickly. Among U.S. pet owners surveyed by Packaged Facts, 39% of dog owners and 34% of cat owners agree they like the idea of CBD supplements for their pets. Additionally, 29% of dog and cat owners agree they would be interested in purchasing CBD supplements for their pets if they were legal.”

“Through the years, the pet supplements market has benefited from the popularization and cross-over of various ingredients from the human side, such as glucosamine and omega fatty acids,” says David Sprinkle, research director for Packaged Facts. “Looking back, however, it’s hard to recall anything making more of a splash in both human and pet supplements than CBD.”

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) recently announced that its Lynks CBD Pet Water, a joint venture with Link Reservations Inc. (OTC: LRSV) is now available for sale on SingleSeed.com.  The Company is launching Lynks CBD a day earlier than the previously announced date of August 29th. The CBD used in this product is hemp-derived.


American Premium Water Corporation CEO, Ryan Fishoff stated “I’m happy to announce that Lynks CBD Pet Water is now available for sale on SingleSeed.com! This product was fast tracked for development in the spring, and we were able to deliver it early! Beverages designed for pets has been an overlooked category in the pet space. There are very few pre-packaged waters designed for pets available in the marketplace, and certainly none that are infused with our proprietary Hydro Nano CBD technology. I am confident that Lynks CBD will quickly establish itself as the market leader in the pet sector. We’re really excited that the Company now has a product to enter the pet market, one of the largest consumer markets in the world.”

Rene Lauritsen, CEO of LinkRes Pets commented, “Today is a great day for our Company. We are excited to expand our offerings for pets and enter the pet beverage market. This product is quite revolutionary; there aren’t many pet beverages on the market, and we are quite confident we will be able to grab significant market share with this product. We have received a number of inquiries from retailers looking to carry this product; I look forward to working with Ryan and his team on fully developing the distribution strategy for Lynks CBD Pet Water.”    

The American Pet Products Association estimates that the US pet product industry will be worth over $75 billion in 2019. The Brightfield Group projects that the CBD Pet Product Market will represent over $1.5 billion in sales, of an estimated $23 billion CBD market by 2023. Pet owners are typically more affluent, as a research report by Research and Marketing estimates that over 55% of US households own a pet, and of that group, they are more likely to be in a higher income household than non-pet owners.

CBD Unlimited, Inc., formerly known as Endexx Corporation (OTC: EDXC), a provider of innovative phytonutrient-based food and nutritional products, recently exhibited at SuperZoo.

At SuperZoo, the Company exhibited its veterinarian-approved Phyto-Bites and Soft Chew CBD pet products which are THC-free, neither heated nor baked, and involve a dual-delivery method to provide effective and safe absorption. CBD Unlimited looks forward to continuing to promote this unique product line and highlighting the benefits that cats and dogs can receive from CBD.

CBD Unlimited's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Daniel Kiddy, has assisted the Company with its analysis of cannabinoids and its effects on each delivery system. From years of continuous research, CBD Unlimited prides itself on formulating properly dosed products ranging across several pet sizes including cats, dogs and horses. The Company’s one-of-a-kind technology delivers CBD to both CB1 and CB2 receptors in the Endocannabinoid System. 

“CBD Unlimited is passionate about formulating the best products for our four-legged friends that provide optimal results,” CEO & Chairman Todd Davis stated. “Our CBD-infused Soft Chews are proven to have one of the most expeditious and effective delivery systems. We are excited about this opportunity to demonstrate the positive effects of CBD for families’ loved ones.”

Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), recently announced that its subsidiary HempMeds® has released its Hemp for Pets pet cannabidiol (CBD) product line in celebration of National Dog Day.

Hemp for Pets by HempMeds® was created to help improve the lives of all pets, from nose to tail. The Company, a proud member of the National Pet Supplement Council (NPSC), aims to improve the lives of pets and people naturally with a commitment to ethically-sourced hemp CBD extract and natural ingredients, dedicated scientific expertise and innovation backed by the strictest efficacy testing.

"We don't just want to create great products, we want to do great work. National Dog Day isn't just a great opportunity to celebrate the dogs who have become a part of our family, but also recognize the many dogs who are currently in need of homes or care. There are so many pet parents, rescues and shelters that HempMeds® can now aid by providing them with the CBD products they need to help improve the wellness of their pets," said HempMeds® President, Todd Morrow. "This is very near to my heart and I am looking forward to spearheading this initiative through our Animals in Need Program."

According to Nielsen analysts, the US pet food and treats market in 2018 reached nearly $33 billion across various retail channels, including local pet stores, vet clinics, e-commerce sites and more. Compared to 2017 sales, this represents a five percent, or $1.5 billion, increase. The Brightfield Group recently reported that the US CBD pet product market was worth $32 million in 2018 and is estimated to grow to at least $1.16 billion by 2022.

"There are many studies providing evidence that CBD has a variety of wellness benefits for pets including improved cardiovascular function, neurological health and behavior, healthy joints and hips, and healthy skin and coats," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO, Dr. Stuart Titus. "Our pet-focused products are made with the Company's Triple Lab Tested™ full-spectrum hemp oil and THC-free isolate to offer pets the same high quality that we've been providing to humans for many years."

The company also recently attended SuperZoo, the most-attended pet industry show in North America, in Las Vegas, August 20-22.

This rise in demand is bringing everyone to the market including GCH, Inc., the development company co-founded by Willie Nelson and his wife, Annie Nelson, which is adding another brand to its portfolio of popular cannabis and hemp product lines, Willie’s Rescue, an array of hemp products for internal and external use in dogs, cats and horses.

“Our mission is to utilize the benefits of the hemp plant to positively impact the lives of companion animals,” said Elizabeth Hogan, Vice President of Brands for GCH, Inc.

This brand also debuted at SuperZoo at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas.

“As longtime animal advocates and pet owners, our family believes that the hemp plant has benefited our own animals,” the Nelsons said in a statement. “We want you and your best friends to experience the potential benefits of hemp. That’s why we created Willie’s Rescue and are donating a portion of each sale to help find loving homes for animals in need.”

While CBD products may remain in somewhat of a grey area legally, consumer demand is driving this industry forward with the pet segment taking up a larger and larger segment. People love their pets and it seems most pet owners want the option of quality CBD pet products, and through some companies recent developments, they’re now having more and more options to choose from.

#Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces Babi Sur Vein Expansion, Additional High-Grade Drill Results

#Mining Stock News: #SilverCrest (TSXV: $SIL.V; NYSE: $SILV) Announces Babi Sur Vein Expansion, Additional High-Grade Drill Results:
3.1 Metres at 1,355 gpt AgEq
8.8 Metres at 536 gpt AgEq
3.8 Metres at 773 gpt AgEq



Vancouver, British Columbia - August 28, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SilverCrest Metals Inc. (TSXV: SIL.VNYSE American: SILV) ("SilverCrest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce initial in-fill and additional expansion drill results from the Babi Sur Vein ("Babi Sur") of the Las Chispas Project ("Las Chispas") located in the state of Sonora, Mexico. In-fill drilling has increased the confidence of resources and high-grade continuity in the vein. Expansion drilling has increased the high-grade footprint for possible additional resources (see attached Figures). The 33 drill holes released today (23 in-fill and 10 expansion) are in addition to the 39 drill holes previously announced on February 14, 2019, and used in the technical report titled "Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Las Chispas Property, Sonora, Mexico", dated effective May 15, 2019, as amended July 19, 2019 (the "PEA"). The PEA is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and the Company's website (www.silvercrestmetals.com).


The Babi Sur Vein, as defined in the PEA includes 39 drill holes, and has a modelled average vein width (true) of 0.95 metres and cut diluted grade of 4.10 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold (or "Au") and 268 gpt silver (or "Ag"), or 575 gpt silver equivalent ("AgEq", based on assumptions defined in table below) over a discontinuous (4 discrete zones) mineralized length of 1,200 metres (see attached Figures). The Babi Sur drill holes announced in this release have a weighted average true width of 2.3 metres grading 3.36 gpt Au and 282.5 gpt Ag, or 534 gpt AgEq (uncut) with hole intercepts distributed along the same estimated mineralized length as presented in the PEA. These new drill results suggest an increase in true width of between 1 to 2 metres, from 0.95 metres, and confirm the estimated overall grade of 534 to 575 gpt AgEq. In-fill drilling is also suggesting better continuity between the discrete zones delineated in the most recent resource estimate, with potential to reduce the required underground development to access these areas of the vein. In addition, drilling has established further high-grade mineralization intersected to depth and down plunge.
While drilling the Babi Sur Vein, the Babi Sur HW Vein was intercepted along with other unknown vein intercepts, with the results presented in the tables below.

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, "While Babi Sur mineralization has an impressive average grade of approximately 500 gpt AgEq, it tends to be overlooked when reviewing the higher grades at the Babicanora, Babicanora Norte and Babicanora FW veins. Babi Sur is incremental for additional ounces and conveniently located within the Babicanora area for accessibility in the conceptual mine plan. Since the last resource estimate in February 2019, we have been systematically testing Babi Sur to connect the four zones of mineralization and potentially expand the resource. The results to date suggest that the vein is wider and has increased continuity, with potential to expand the resource while reducing underground development costs to access the mineralization. Over the next several months, we are systematically and aggressively drilling in-fill and expansion holes for most of the Las Chispas veins with resources, including Babi Sur Vein, to meet our schedule to convert resources into reserves for the ongoing feasibility study. Of the 16 drills currently operating at Las Chispas, three are dedicated to Babi Sur."

The most significant results for this release are hole BAS19-63, at 3.1 metres (est. true width) grading 8.51 gpt Au and 716.6 gpt Ag, or 1,355 gpt AgEq and hole BAS19-57, which intersected 8.8 metres grading 3.09 gpt Au and 304.6 gpt Ag, or 536 gpt AgEq. Also, noteworthy is hole BAS19-49 at 3.8 metres grading 5.32 gpt Au and 374.3 gpt Ag, or 773 gpt AgEq. The following table summarizes the most significant drill intercepts (uncut, undiluted) for this release;

Note: all numbers are rounded. Based on a cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq with no minimum width.
* AgEq based on 75 (Ag):1 (Au) calculated using long-term silver and gold prices of US$17 per ounce silver and US$1,225 per ounce gold, with average metallurgical recoveries of 90% silver and 95% gold.

All assays were completed by ALS Chemex in Hermosillo, Mexico, and North Vancouver, BC, Canada.

For the Babi Sur veins, holes BAS19-41 to 43, 45 to 48, 52, 56, 58, 59, 62, and 64 intersected veining but were below the Company's cutoff grade of 150 gpt AgEq. Holes BAS19-65, 66, 68, and 69 have pending assays, and will be reported when compiled.

The Babi Sur Vein and Babi Sur HW Vein are still open to depth and down plunge to the southeast. Unnamed veins are under review for possible continuity and announcement(s) of additional vein discoveries. Approximately 25 to 35 additional in-fill and expansion holes, for a minimum of 7,000 metres, are planned for the Babi Sur Veins in H2, 2019.

Global #AI in IoT Market to Reach $19.9 Billion by 2025



Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – August 27, 2019  – Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com), a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings you today’s edition of  The AI Eye-  watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence.

Today’s Column- The AI Eye- Watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:VMW) (NasdaqGS:BIDU)

VMware, Inc. (NYSE:VMW) has completed the acquisition of AI and machine learning optimization provider Uhana. An article today from FierceTelecom quotes Gabriele di Piazza, vice president of managed products and solutions for telco NFV and edge cloud, VMware, on Uhana’s utility in 5G radio access networks (RANs):

"We see a major change coming with all the radio aspects. We invested in Uhana to provide fine-grained streaming analytics, which actually leverage direct feeds from radio networks, and then we can apply AI techniques, such as machine learning, to what we call observe, predict and control your network.

With Uhana, we are getting deep into the network. RAN is probably one of the most complicated assets that every telco is managing, and it's just about to become even more complicated with 5G and radio densification. We're getting to the heart of understanding  the radio in every single session and transaction with Uhana."

Baidu, Inc. (NasdaqGS:BIDU) has announced a strategic partnership with the municipal government of Chinese city Chongqing to collaborate in areas including autonomous driving, smart cities, smart government and blockchain solutions. Robin Li, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of Baidu, explained:

"Chongqing is a city with an innovative spirit, and a national front-runner when it comes to promoting the comprehensive integration of AI and big data into the economy, as well as intelligent transformation and industrial upgrading.

As an AI company, Baidu has been committed to empowering all walks of life through AI. We believe that deepening cooperation between Baidu and Chongqing will accelerate technological innovation and applications in areas closely linked to people's everyday lives and Chongqing will become an intelligent and innovative mountain city attracting more worldwide attention.”


Global AI in IoT Market to Reach $19.9 Billion by 2025

A report from Zion Market Research finds that the global AI in IoT market will reach $19.9 billion USD by 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.89 percent in the forecast period 2019-2025. An excerpt from the report analysis reads:

The AI in IoT market is gaining acceptance globally, owing to its rising demand by industrial sectors, enterprises, companies, and business[es] that have already implemented or are in the process of implementing AI in IoT to efficiently manage work. AI is playing a vital role in IoT as the former has secured its place in numerous sectors, such as vision sensors, to identify accuracy, product orientation, and enhanced process flow by decreasing waste and removing defective products. Moreover, the rising demand for road safety, growing concerns for new infrastructure and devices, such as sensors and video camera[s] to monitor drivers’ behavior and driving patterns to find the cause of road accidents, are also projected to propel the AI in IoT market over the predicted time period.

Investor Ideas #Potcasts; #Cannabis News and Stocks on the Move: Interview with Matt Markiewicz, The Cannabis ETF (NYSE: $THCX)



Delta, Kelowna, BC –August 27, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



Today's podcast overview/transcript

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast I interviewed Matt Markiewicz, the Managing Director of Innovation Shares which also manages The Cannabis ETF (NYSE: THCX), regarding the recent news surrounding THCX as well as the cannabis industry in general.

The Cannabis ETF (THCX) is an ETF that provides investors with a liquid and diversified vehicle to gain access to the explosive growth of the legal cannabis market.

There are a lot of ETF firms out there and over 2k ETFs in the United States. What makes Innovation Shares different?
“The unique thing about Innovation shares is how we build the index that the fund attracts. Part of our methodology is using a patent pending process that applies a natural language processing algorithm, that’s rooted in artificial intelligence, that looks at media sentiment for stocks related to a particular theme. We are trying to only include stocks with positive sentiment. Investor sentiment/behaviour is often influenced by what the media says about the stocks. We apply this process, what’s called a sentiment overlay, into the construction of our portfolios. That’s what really differentiates us.”
What are some of the other factors that influence their decisions to add or remove certain companies from the ETF?
“A stock must a have a minimum 100 million dollar market cap U.S. in order to even be considered in the portfolio. It also has to trade on one of 5 exchanges in the world, which are the ASX, TSX, TSX-V, NYSE or NASDAQ. We also have liquidity requirements as well and we rebound this portfolio monthly and we apply a modified market cap approach.”
Your ETF has had a fair amount of movement in the last few months, could you discuss some of that in detail?
“We did have a fairly active reshuffling of the portfolio this past rebalance. We added ValensCBDMDFire and Flower as well as a company called Enwave who has a proprietary drying technology used in food which is now being applied to cannabis, which is quite an interesting story. We also removed Innovative Industrial Properties and Canntrust. It was a very active rebalance period for us. That’s not always going to be the case but there were a lot of big news items, some bad some good for the cannabis industry over this summer, so that’s why you’re seeing a lot of activity.”
When looking at the proposed Safe |banking Act, how much do you see this impacting the U.S. cannabis industry as well as your ETF?
“The question for us is will the potential passage of the safe banking act allow companies easier access to capital markets, or in other word list on the NYSE or NASDAQ. As I mentioned we have a requirement that stocks have to trade on one of those exchanges. From a funds specific standpoint I think it would be massive. From a broader perspective, it would open up the market to the larger equity space.Right now you’re still not seeing many of the largest fund managers in the world getting involved with cannabis. If the safe banking act will allow those institutions to become more comfortable with owning the stock of these public companies, then this could be a watershed moment for the industry.”
The U.S. and Canada get a large spotlight in the Cannabis industry, how much attention are you paying to the international scope of the industry?
“I think the growth of the global cannabis story is quite interesting. There are companies that are trading now or will be trading soon that will have access to these global markets. As regulatory changes occur in markets around the world, they definitely bare watching. It's going to be an opportunity for revenue expansions, or multiple expansions for the companies entrenching themselves in these markets.” When asked which companies are included in the ETF on an international level Matt included, Khiron Life Sciences and Pharmacielo.
