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

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:ACN) (OTC:TTCM) (NasdaqGS:GOOG)

Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has acquired Netherlands-based product design and innovation agency VanBerlo, a move which, according to the press release, “will strengthen Accenture’s capabilities to help clients benefit from the merging of physical products and digital services.” VanBerlo’s “smart connected solutions combine physical objects with digital services, using technologies like internet of things sensors, artificial intelligence and data analytics.” Frank Rennings, managing director and Accenture Digital Lead in the Netherlands, said:

"The number of smart connected products is increasing rapidly and the speed of digitization is challenging our clients’ design and development processes. Both call for a new approach to innovation. Bringing VanBerlo’s creative team into our Industry X.0 practice will enable us to help our clients develop new business models and generate new revenues from smart connected products and services."

Tautachrome, Inc. (OTC:TTCM) has announced the inclusion of Google's (NasdaqGS:GOOG) TensorFlow artificial intelligence (AI) for image classification in the 1.3.4 release of the former’s ARknet social media app. According to the official website, “ARknet is a global geolocated augmented reality network,” that “connects humanity through social sharing, commerce and information.” With this new release, ARknet will be able to classify incoming images utilizing TensorFlow, allowing it “to crowdsource its user base for machine learning purposes.” Jon N Leonard, CEO of Tautachrome, Inc. explained:

"Machine learning technologies using recent advances in what is known as ‘deep learning convolutional neural networks' have become enormously powerful, solving long standing problems in computer vision, speech recognition, biometrics, natural language processing, and many other arenas of human-like performance. These deep learning technologies are being deployed on a large scale by Microsoft, Google and Facebook, and are being made generally available through powerful tools such as TensorFlow. We are fortunate to have these tools available to us and a fabulous ARknet team to able deploy them in our ARknet 1.3.4 release."


European Commission Releases White Paper Outlining Investment Goals for AI

Today the European Union’s (EU) executive branch, the European Commission, released a White Paper titled: On Artificial Intelligence - A European approach to excellence and trust. The paper opens with the following overture:

Artificial Intelligence is developing fast. It will change our lives by improving healthcare (e.g. making diagnosis more precise, enabling better prevention of diseases), increasing the efficiency of farming,contributing to climate change mitigation and adaptation, improving the efficiency of production systems through predictive maintenance, increasing the security of Europeans, and in many other ways that we can only begin to imagine.

After emphasizing the growing importance of AI investment, the paper concedes the EU’s own shortcomings in comparison to other regions:

“Some €3.2 billion were invested in AI in Europe in 2016, compared to around €12.1 billion in North America and €6.5 billion in Asia. In response, Europe needs to increase its investment levels significantly.”

In response to this admitted lag, the European Commission aims “to attract over €20 billion of total investment in the EU per year in AI over the next decade.” Additionally, the European Commission “has proposed more than €4 billion under the Digital Europe Programmeto support high-performance and quantum computing,including edge computing and AI,data and cloud infrastructure. The European Data strategy develops these priorities further.”

Delta, Kelowna, BC, February 19, 2020 (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 podcast edition of  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 we look at a few public announcements.

But first, a team of Canadian cannabis industry professionals have launched the world's first public relations agency focused on cannabis, psychedelics and other emerging regulated markets - all with heightened transparency not often seen in traditional PR.

Along with years of combined experience working in the regulated Canadian cannabis sector, the company's team is ushering in a new approach to PR services with four core values: transparency, authenticity, accountability, and consistently driving value.

Alan Aldous will offer services in communications and marketing for emerging and regulated markets, including full-spectrum public relations support, search engine optimization, media outreach, and the development of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.


As emerging markets mature in Canada and abroad, brands realize that the one-size-fits-all PR agency model, with increasingly uncontrollable monthly retainers, may no longer make sense.

Unlike most PR firms, Alan Aldous offers a transparent quote builder on its website, so brands can determine an approximate budget for their desired PR services - on a per campaign basis with no exclusivity contracts.

The name "Alan Aldous" is a nod to two highly-inquisitive famous authors, Alan Watts and Aldous Huxley. Both of these extraordinarily forward-thinking writers focused on psychedelic content in their works and advanced the world towards better human understanding.

Alan Aldous has developed one of the most comprehensive private media contact databases within the cannabis and psychedelics industry.

Zenabis Global Inc. (TSX:ZENAannounced details of its cannabis derivative product strategy and execution, including entering into an agreement with a Canadian beverage manufacturer to produce a range of cannabis-infused beverages.

Highlights:
     In December 2019, Zenabis signed a definitive agreement with HYTN Beverages Inc. to produce a range of cannabis-infused beverages at Zenabis Stellarton.

     The initial launch of cannabis-infused sparkling water beverages under the HYTN brand are listed with all Zenabis' Provincial counterparties, with strong indicative demand. First shipment of the initial four flavours of the cannabis-infused sparkling water beverages expected in Q2 2020.

     Zenabis executed its first production run of vape cartridges for the PAX Labs Inc. Era vaporizer device range. The initial run was immediately sold to three provincial partners. The first provincial shipments commenced on 5 February, 2020.

     Zenabis Atholville's extraction lab is currently operating at 400 kg of biomass per month, and is expected to reach steady state in March 2020. The intent is to use cannabis extracts from Zenabis Atholville in Zenabis' cannabis derivative products once extraction reaches steady state.

HYTN is in the process of installing its own beverage production line in Zenabis Stellarton, with commission expected to be completed by March 2020. Zenabis will supply the requisite cannabis extracts and provide coast to coast distribution with the company's provincial counterparties. The intent is to launch a series of cannabis-infused sparkling water beverages under the HYTN brand with future beverage products planned to the extent that is justified by market conditions and demand.

"We are happy to announce a new addition to the Canadian cannabis 2.0 market. We are working with a partner that has experience successfully formulating new beverage options in the Canadian market. The combination of HYTN's beverage manufacturing expertise with our high-quality cannabis extracts allows Zenabis to provide consumers with a new line of high-quality cannabis-infused beverages," commented Kevin Coft, Chief Executive Officer of Zenabis. "Initial indicative demand from our provincial partners is strong and we hope to have these products into their supply chains in Q2 2020. This will make Zenabis one of the first licensed producers to bring cannabis-infused beverages to the Canadian market."



 BevCanna Enterprises Inc. (CSE: BEV) (OTCQB:BVNNFannounced that it has entered into a definitive joint venture agreement with Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE:MOTA) (OTC: PEMTF), to exclusively distribute BevCanna's hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) products in the European market.

The Joint Venture will initially launch BevCanna's "LEV" line of fruit-forward lightly sparkling CBD-infused spring water beverages and water-soluble powders.  The beverages will also utilize BevCanna's proprietary method of nano-delivery of cannabinoids, a unique technology that produces a rapid onset time for the cannabinoids.  The JV will launch additional products over the life of the five-year agreement.

Under the agreement, BevCanna and Mota have agreed to share equal ownership in the Joint Venture and be jointly responsible for developing and funding its operations.  In addition to capital, BevCanna has agreed to contribute proprietary brands, product formulations, formulas for nano-encapsulated water-soluble powders, and marketing and manufacturing expertise to the Joint Venture. Mota has agreed to provide manufacturing, marketing and distribution infrastructure in the European market.

"We're eager to launch our CBD products in the European market," said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer of BevCanna. "Infused beverages are a great way to enjoy cannabidiol in a familiar, appealing consumption format, while also being non-carcinogenic and more socially friendly than other formats. We're also excited to employ our proprietary nano-technology in our beverages, which is more bioavailable and produces a rapid onset time."

The company also announced that it is significantly expanding its manufacturing premises, in anticipation of the Company receiving its standard processing license and initiating full-scale commercialization this year.

Pursuant to a second amendment agreement dated February 14, 2020, BevCanna's current 5,235 square foot of dedicated cannabis production premises has doubled to 10,378 square feet.

"This expansion is an exciting step for BevCanna," said John Campbell, Chief Strategy Officer at BevCanna. "We expect to receive our standard processing license imminently, and we're preparing to initiate full-scale production in the coming months. We've seen a fantastic consumer and industry response to the upcoming Canadian beverage market, and this development ensures that we have capacity and full product offerings to fulfil the anticipated demand."

The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD) (OTC:TGODF), a leading producer of premium certified organic cannabis, announced that it has secured a research licence from Health Canada.  Valid for five years, the Licence allows TGOD to reduce the cost and accelerate the pace at which it develops new products by eliminating reliance on third parties.
"As consumers become increasingly aware that not all cannabis products are created equal, we want to ensure that TGOD continues to go to market with consumables that bear a seal of premium quality that they can trust," commented Brian Athaide, CEO of TGOD.  "By leveraging the expertise of our in-house Science and Marketing teams, we are able to optimize costs and accelerate our speed to market.  In parallel, we are also layering on additional quality control measures ensuring a high level of consistency across all our product lines."

TGOD also intends to leverage the newly awarded Licence to complete the development of additional premium cannabis 2.0 products, which are expected to launch later this year.

James E. Wagner Cultivation Corporation (TSX: JWCA.V) (OTCQX: JWCAF), announced that it has entered into a Master Cannabis Supply Agreement effective February 6, 2020, with the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, operating as the Ontario Cannabis Store. This agreement marks the launch of JWC’s products for sale into the recreational market.

The agreement provides the framework for JWC to supply its aeroponically grown cannabis products to the OCS, making them available for purchase through the OCS online store and nearly 30 private retail stores across Ontario.

“In signing an agreement with the OCS, we are able to realize our goal of joining one of the largest recreational cannabis markets in the industry,” says Nathan Woodworth, JWC President and CEO. “Our products have a reputation for consistency and flavour. We will be introducing new products in different formats to service a wide range of lifestyles.”

As announced in its press release dated November 20, 2019, JWC is also working with Kindred Partners Inc. to offer products for sale in Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. Kindred is a specialty brokerage and services company for cannabis products.

Each of JWC’s cultivars are grown exclusively using the Corporation’s proprietary GrowthSTORM™ aeroponic technology, recognized for producing clean, consistent cannabis. JWC is on track to produce a total of over 35,000 kg of dried cannabis per year once its JWC2 cultivation facility, located at 530 Manitou Drive, Kitchener, Ontario, is fully operational.

#ExploringMining #Podcast – #Mining #Stocks News from (NYSE American: $SILV) (TSX: $SIL.TO) (NYSE: $RIO) (NYSE: $NEM) (NYSE: $AGI) (ASX:LLO)

#ExploringMining #Podcast – #Mining #Stocks News from (NYSE American: $SILV) (TSX: $SIL.TO) (NYSE: $RIO) (NYSE: $NEM) (NYSE: $AGI) (ASX:LLO)



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, February 19, 2019 Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases today’s edition of Exploring Mining Podcast, featuring stock news from TSX, TSXV ,CSE, ASX, NASDAQ, NYSE  companies plus interviews with CEO's and leading experts.

Listen to the podcast:


SilverCrest Metals Inc. (NYSE American:SILV) (TSX:SIL) has announced a new discovery and additional drill results from the Babicanora Norte Vein of the Las Chispas Project in Sonora, Mexico. Results include a total of 216 holes, 65% of which are in-fill holes and 35% expansion holes. The discovery of the Babi Norte southeast faulted extension named "Area 200 zone" intercepted 2.0 metres grading 6,418 grams per tonne silver equivalent, making the Babi Norte Vein “the highest-grade vein currently known on the property.” SilverCrest CEO N. Eric Fier commented:

"Since the high-grade discovery in January 2018 of the Babicanora Vein, Area 51 zone, the SilverCrest technical team has been systematically testing out its theory of "the Nature of Multiples" for the potential to discover parallel high-grade precious metal veins and zones similar to Area 51. With the high-grade discoveries of Las Chispas Vein, Area 118, in November 2019, and now the Babi Norte Vein, Area 200, this work has proven effective. Area 200, approximately 500 metres in strike length, is now considered the highest-grade discovery to date at Las Chispas and, combined with the remaining 1.5 kilometres strike length of the Vein, is the longest mineralized vein in the district, surpassing the Babicanora Vein. Area 200 is proximal to the Santa Rosa Decline, suggesting it could be easily accessed with minimal underground development. Congratulations to the SilverCrest team on another high-grade discovery and its ability to aggressively advance this for FS inclusion."

Rio Tinto Group (NYSE:RIO) has recently approved a $98 million investment in a new solar plant at the Koodaideri mine in the Pilbara, Australia. The plant is expected to supply power to the mine during peak solar power generation times and approximately 65 percent of the mine’s average electricity demand. Chris Salisbury, Rio Tinto Iron Ore’s chief executive, said:

"The construction of our first solar plant in the Pilbara is a significant milestone for the business and an important step in reducing our carbon footprint in the region.
"We are investigating additional renewable energy options in the Pilbara, as well as other opportunities to reduce emissions across our entire global portfolio, building on the 43 per cent reduction in absolute greenhouse gas emissions since 2008."

Newmont Corporation (NYSE:NEM) has approved investment in an Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) at its Boddington mine in Australia to improve safety and prolong the mine’s life. Expected to be fully operational by 2021, this would make Boddington the first open pit gold mine with an autonomous haul truck fleet in the world. Newmont President and CEO Tom Palmer explained:

"Not only does Boddington continue to deliver strong performance, our investment in autonomous haul trucks will generate an internal rate of return greater than 35 percent with a more controlled and efficient haulage operation. We are also uniquely positioned in the gold sector to support effective implementation and operation of the fleet thanks to the technical capabilities and previous experience of leaders in our business. Simply put, Boddington will be a safer, more productive world-class gold mine in a top-tier jurisdiction."

Alamos Gold Inc. (NYSE:AGI) has reported its mineral reserves and resources for the year-ended 2019. Among the highlights are: “Island Gold’s Mineral Reserves and Resources increased by a combined 921,000 ounces, net of mining depletion, Global Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of 9.73 million ounces of gold, Global Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 7.04 million ounces of gold, Global Inferred Mineral Resources increased 10% to 5.98 million ounces of gold, and Global exploration budget of $36 million in 2020.” John A. McCluskey, President and CEO, said:

“We had another tremendous year at Island Gold on all fronts with the asset continuing to evolve into a world class ore body. Over the past two years we have added more than two million ounces of Mineral Reserves and Resources, before mining depletion, with the deposit now approaching four million ounces in all categories. We see strong potential for this growth to continue with the deposit open laterally and down-plunge across multiple areas of focus.”

Lion One Metals Limited (ASX:LLO) has announced high-grade gold assays part of its 100 percent-controlled Tuvatu alkaline gold project, Fiji, from recent surface sampling. Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor to Lion One, commented:

"Building a pipeline of new, high quality drill targets outside of the Tuvatu resource is one of our main objectives at Lion One. Once access was granted to our new Navilawa tenement, we began to explore. Over the past few months, we conducted BLEG sampling which indicated the entire northern half of the caldera is prospective. Now that we are opening up roads, we are able to see numerous mineralized exposures. These first surface sample results are very promising, and, coupled with recently announced results from our controlled-source audio-magnetotelluric surveys that show robust structures underlying the region, suggest we should have a large pipeline of drill targets in time for the upcoming dry season."

Lion One Metals stock is up about 7.6 percent at press time.
