Defense Metals Corp. (TSXV:DEFN) (OTCQB:DFMTF) has received additional pre-pilot hydrometallurgical test work utilizing high-grade rare earth element (REE) mineral concentrate. Highlights include: increased REE extraction from 91.5% to 97.3% from flotation concentrate, decreased REE losses, and flowsheet simplification. The company’s CEO, Craig Taylor, said:

"Our decision to conduct additional infill hydrometallurgical test-work has yielded significant REE recovery gains approaching 100% REE extraction from the flotation concentrate. Perhaps more importantly, this additional testing has advanced the Wicheeda REE separation flowsheet such that we are able to "tune" process variables (chiefly: grind size, acid, and caustic concentrations) to achieve a balance of minimizing REE leach losses and maximizing impurity removal. This level of process control will de-risk our planned hydrometallurgical pilot plant and contribute to greater flexibility in design of a future commercial-scale hydrometallurgical plant.

Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO) announced to the Australian Securities Exchange estimate updates to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves at its Pilbara iron ore deposits in Western Australia, Rio Tinto Aluminium (RTA) Pacific Operations’ Weipa and Gove assets in Australia, and Mineral Resources at the Kennecott Copper operation in Utah. Additionally, the company’s Board has approved a total dividend of 557 US cents per share including a special dividend of 93 US cents per share. Rio Tinto CEO Jakob Stausholm said:

"Safe and well-run operations, together with world-class assets, great people, capital discipline and a strong balance sheet, leave Rio Tinto well placed to generate superior returns for shareholders, invest in sustaining and growing our portfolio, and make a broader contribution to society."

Barrick Gold Corporation (NYSE:GOLD) has reached an agreement to sell its 100 percent interest in the Lagunas Norte mine in Peru to Boroo Pte Ltd, a privately-held investment holding company, for a total consideration of up to $81 million. According to the press release, “the total consideration consists of an up-front cash payment of $20 million, additional cash consideration of $10 million payable on the first anniversary of closing and $20 million payable on the second anniversary of closing, a 2% net smelter return royalty on gold and silver produced through the refractory sulphide ore project, which will terminate once one million ounces of gold has been produced and which may be purchased by Boroo for a limited period of time after closing for $16 million, plus a contingent payment of up to $15 million which is based upon the average gold price per ounce for the two-year period immediately following closing.”

Aftermath Silver Ltd. (TSXV:AAG) has commenced field work at the Challacollo Silver-Gold project in northern Chile. The project will test material outside of the high-grade structures that formed the Mineral Resource Estimate, and Aftermath also plans to “undertake preliminary metallurgical leach testwork on composites from this sampling program.” The company’s President and CEO, Ralph Rushton, said:

"Following the highly successful resource estimate which added tremendous value to Challacollo, the next phase of our concept for the project is to test the hangingwall sequence where historically only visible structures were sampled. This sampling program is an important next step in our exploration and engineering efforts at Challacollo. If successful, the program will help further refine the objectives of the planned drilling at Challacollo. "

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:MSTR) (TSX:HUT) (NasdaqGS:EBON) (CSE:BIGG)

As is so often the case these days, Bitcoin (BTC) wasted no time in surpassing its recently achieved new all-time high trading price (covered in yesterday’s Crypto Corner), as it crossed the $51K mark early this morning, according to data from CoinMarketCap. So far, it has peaked at $51,630, and has not seen a significant downward correction. At press time, Bitcoin is trading for about $51,350.

MicroStrategy (NasdaqGS:MSTR), which yesterday announced a proposed private offering of $600 million in convertible senior notes, has adjusted the pricing of its offering to $900 million. The company expects net proceeds from the sale of the notes to be approximately $879.3 million, an amount it plans to use to acquire additional bitcoin.

Hut 8 Mining Corp. (TSX:HUT) announced that, as of the end of day Tuesday, February 16, it had a bitcoin balance of 3,012 ($186 million CAD). The company’s CEO, Jaime Leverton, said:

"Our commitment to 'hodling' bitcoin is at the core of our strategy in creating incremental value for Hut 8 investors. I am proud of our position as a leading Bitcoin miner globally and celebrate our substantial bitcoin balance as a testament to the strength and efficiency of our mining and executive leadership teams. We will continue to manage our operations to prevent the need to sell any of the bitcoin we mine for the foreseeable future."

Ebang International Holdings Inc. (NasdaqGS:EBON) has passed a resolution to launch a Bitcoin mining business. According to the press release, this will involve the deployment of “self-manufactured mining machines and mining machines purchased from other manufacturers as well as leasing computing powers from other mining farms.” Dong Hu, Ebang’s Chairman and CEO, commented:

“With the development of Bitcoin mining business, the Company will not only just continue to position itself as a Bitcoin mining machine producer. This move will increase our revenue in cryptocurrency business and optimize our product offering structure. We believe it will help the Company’s transformation from a hardware manufacturer to a blockchain company with comprehensive involvements in its industry chain.”

Blockchain Intelligence Group (BIG), a subsidiary of BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (CSE:BIGG), has partnered with KYC-AML regulatory technology provider Netki “to integrate their Travel Rule solution (TransactID) into BIG’s Compliance suite of tools to allow BIG’s clients to meet the latest regulatory recommendations put out by FATF (Financial Action Task Force) and strongly endorsed by the G7.” Netki’s CEO, Justin Newton, said:

“Netki is pleased to partner with Blockchain Intelligence Group, an industry leader in cryptocurrency compliance solutions. The integration of our TransactID travel rule solution into their platform ensures the market has a full service provider for the AML and travel rule regulations put out by FATF. We know these recommendations will shortly be regulation adopted globally.”

Investor Ideas #Renewable Portfolio - Out performs S&P 500 almost 8 Times - 235% vs 31%- J Peter Lynch

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – Feburary 17, 2021 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering Cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues today's Cleantech column at Investorideas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com with J.Peter Lynch.

As I said in past articles we are at an historic junction in human history in which we are transitioning from the age of fossil fuels to the age of renewables and distributed energy, in effect a planetary paradigm shift. The tide has turned and worldwide momentum is irreversible. This change is occurring around the world and has been accelerating dramatically for the last 3 years.

The two most compelling factors in this transition to renewables are:

1. Cost: Renewables have a far lower initial cost, much faster time to build and a far lower cost to operate

2. Need for Water: Renewables have very little need for fresh water to operate and generate power. Fossil fuels need enormous amounts of fresh water which we need for drinking and food production.

Strangely neither of these advantages are seldom highlighted or even mentioned in most articles about the future of energy. It is even more amazing, given that both of these compelling advantages are truly insurmountable!

1. Cost – Renewables are cheaper NOW** than any other energy generating technology and they are getting cheaper every year at an accelerated rate, whereas fossil fuel technologies are getting more expensive every year.

**Renewables are in fact FAR cheaper than all forms of fossil fuels, when you compare all of the relevant factors – initial cost, timing of cash flows (cost of money), absence of variable fuel costs for decades, far superior job creation, no pollution, no huge resultant cleanup costs and few if any health related costs.

2. Need for Water – We cannot keep using enormous amounts of fresh water for the extraction of fossil fuels, fracking, coal mining and electric power plants, including nuclear plants. For example, a large nuclear plant can use up to a BILLION gallons of fresh water a day – which is heated, turn into steam to turn turbines to generate electricity. Renewables on the other hand use almost no water for the production of their electrical energy.

** It was shocking, at least to me, how small the amount of fresh water on Earth is and how little of that small amount is actually available for use.

Only 3% of the water on Earth is fresh. Of that surprisingly small amount 83% of that fresh water is unavailable: locked up in glaciers, polar ice caps, atmosphere, and soil; highly polluted; or lies too far under the earth's surface to be extracted at an affordable cost. As a result – fresh water is far more precious and scarce that most of us think and it is critical that it be carefully conserved and managed.

** These are two of the major reasons I think the renewable energy sector will continue to out preform for perhaps decades.

As we said in our last article on 29 January 2021:

“It will be the savvy and aware investors and corporations that will take advantage of this. Now that the economics are much more obvious this will spark the investment community and they will further accelerate the transition. It will become increasingly difficult to ignore the superior financial numbers of renewables as a result: the best investment in the history of mankind and most important factor in saving our planet will be the identical – renewables.”

Investor Ideas Renewable Energy Portfolio Update

Our portfolio started on June 26 2020 – has returned 235% in a little more than 7 months, compared to a 31% return for the S&P 500, almost 8X out performance as of the close of trading 2/12/21.

It has performed, far better than I thought it would. It was diversified being divided into among companies with dividends (stronger companies), two ETF’s covering solar companies and electric car companies, three companies in the wind sector, two in the fuel cell sector, two in the solar inverter sector and one in the silicon production sector.

These are the companies currently in the Investor Ideas Renewable Energy Portfolio

1. Northland Power, NPI-TO (symbol my vary - listed on Toronto Exchange), Yield = 3.59%,

2. Brookfield Renewable Partners, BEP, Yield = 4.57%

3. NextEra Energy L.P. , NEP, Yield = 4.37%

4. Hannon Armstrong, HASI, Yield = 1.75%

These two ETF’s are focused on the solar energy sector and the electric car sector

5. Invesco Solar, TAN, Yield = 0.25%

6. KraneShares Electric Cars and Future Mobility, KARS, Yield = 1.75%

These two companies are in the Wind Sector

7. Orsted ADR, DNNGY, Yield = 0.85%

8. Vestas Wind, VWDRY, Yield = 0.81%

These companies are mostly smaller and not as financially strong. They are more volatile and therefore can be either a bigger winner or a bigger loser.

9. Gamesa Corp., GCTAF, Wind Sector, Yield = 1.18%

These two are in the Fuel Cell Sector (Energy Storage)

10. Plug Power, PLUG, Yield = 0.91%

11. Ballard Power, BLDP, Yield = 1.58%

These two companies are the leading companies in Inverters (devices that convert DC to AC power)

12. Solar edge Technologies, SEDG, Yield = 0.95%

13. Enphase Energy, ENPH, Yield = 1.0%

This last company is a leading company in the manufacturing of Silicon for solar company’s products

14. Daqo New Energy, DQ, Yield = 0.94%

Here are the individual returns of each of the stocks in the Portfolio

1. Northland Power, NPI-TO = + 52.31%

2. Brookfield Renewable Partners, BEP = + 85.47%

3. NextEra Energy L.P. NEP = + 66.48%

4. Hannon Armstrong, HASI = + 129.71%

5. Invesco Solar, TAN = + 247.99%

6. KraneShares Electric Cars and Future Mobility, KARS = + 94.71%

7. Orsted ADR, DNNGY = +49.04%

8. Vestas Wind, VWDRY = +113.00%

9. Gamesa Corp., GCTAF = + 133.78%

10. Plug Power, PLUG = + 825.18%

11. Ballard Power, BLDP = + 163.66%

12. Solar Edge Technologies, SEDG = +155.45%

13. Enphase Energy, ENPH, Yield = + 355.87%

14. Daqo New Energy, DQ = + 787.54%

What To Do Now

Given the amazing and rapid rise of the portfolio, with the worst stock returning 49.04% I would advise taking a minimum of 100% of your initial investment off the table. When I constructed the portfolio I assumed that an investor put $5,000 into each stock, the number could obviously be higher or lower. Assuming you invested $5,000 in 14 stocks you would have invested $70,000. With the portfolio retrurning 235% that would mean it is now worth $164,500 ($70,000x14).

Aa a result, you could take $5,000 out of each stock and continue to hold the portfolio with zero cost.

However, I would personally recommend, at a minimum, considering the speed and the magnitude of the portfolios gain to take out an addition $5,000 dollars from each, in my opinion, of the 7 highest risk stocks – DQ, ENPH, SEDG, BLDP, PLUG, TAN and GCTAF for an additional $35,000.

In doing this you would take out your initial investment of $70,000 + $35,000 for a healthy profit of 50%. Leaving $59,500 in the portfolio to let it play out. This would also give you $105,000 of “dry powder” to take advantage of other future opportunities as they present themselves.

In future articles I will keep updating the porfolios status and any actions I feel are warranted. Plus information on new situations, technologies and any overviews of how they will be implemented as the transition to a Renewable Energy Future advances.
