April 16 Crypto Corner

Bitcoin SV (BSV), which split in a hard-fork from Bitcoin Cash (BCH) in November 2018, is experiencing yearly lows as exchanges delist the coin. CCN reports that a recent spate of boycotts and delisting of the cryptocurrency are in response to the controversial behaviour of BSV founder Dr. Craig Wright. Wright has claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin (BTC), and has recently sent letters to his critics threatening defamation lawsuits. This has led platforms such as Binance and Shapeshift to delist Bitcoin SV. Data from CoinMarketCap indicates that, at press time, Bitcoin SV is down almost 18 percent in the past 24 hours with a market cap of $984 million. By contrast, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has a market cap of about $5.47 billion.

Reuters reports that France will encourage its fellow European Union member states to adopt its regulatory framework for cryptocurrency. The new laws were only approved last week by the French parliament. At a blockchain technology event in Paris, the country’s finance minister Bruno Le Maire said:

“I will propose to my European partners that we set up a single regulatory framework on crypto-assets inspired by the French experience. Our model is the right one.”

Social trading and investment platform eToro has launched a crypto exchange with eight custom stablecoins, according to a report from CoinDesk. These eight eToro-branded tokens are each pegged to a fiat currency and include the eToro United States dollar (USDEX), eToro Japanese yen (JPYX) and eToro Euro (EURX), and others for pounds Sterling; Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, New Zealand dollar, and the Swiss franc. eToro CEO and co-founder, Yoni Assia, said:

“Just as eToro has opened up traditional markets for investors, we want to do the same in the tokenized world. […] Blockchain will eventually ‘eat’ traditional financial services through tokenization.”

Announced in a tweet earlier today, CoinMarketCap has released a mobile app. The app boasts such features as crypto rankings, portfolios and watchlists, price alerts and crypto news.

#Gold Bulls Push Forward - Companies Making Big Moves in Sector: (NASDAQ: $USAU) (NYSE: $NEM) (TSX: $LUN.TO) (TSX: $WDO.TO)

#Gold Bulls Push Forward - Companies Making Big Moves in Sector:  (NASDAQ: $USAU) (NYSE: $NEM) (TSX: $LUN.TO) (TSX: $WDO.TO) 

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – April 16, 2019 – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining stocks releases a snapshot looking at the gold-mining segment and companies making moves to set themselves up for a possible “spring” gold rally.

In a recent article from Mining.com, “The gold miners’ stocks are still marching, grinding higher on balance in a solid upleg. While interest in this sector has faded since late February, it is nicely set up for a strong rally. After consolidating high and establishing a sturdy base, the gold miners are likely to soon report greatly-improved first-quarter results. Couple that with gold itself powering higher, and the slumbering gold stocks should surge substantially.”

U.S. Gold Corp. (NASDAQ: USAU), a US-focused gold exploration and development company with a portfolio of properties is focusing more on human assets for April having just announced that the Honorable Ryan K. Zinke has been appointed to the Board of Directors. His appointment made headlines, noting his background, “Former Congressman and 52nd US Secretary of the Interior for the Trump Administration and - A geologist from Montana with in-depth mining industry regulatory contacts and experience.”

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/mining/04161Stocks.asp

Edward Karr, President and CEO of U.S. Gold Corp. stated, "All of the Directors of U.S. Gold Corp. are thrilled to welcome the Honorable Ryan Zinke to our Board.  As the former Secretary of the Interior and a geologist, Commander Zinke has an in-depth knowledge of the governmental regulatory and permitting process for mining and exploration companies.  We look forward to his future contributions to the overall Board, technical committees and permitting assistance with our Copper King project in Wyoming.”

The Honorable Ryan Zinke commented, “I look forward to joining a winning team.  U.S. Gold Corp. has attractive exploration and development projects in two mining friendly jurisdictions of Wyoming and Nevada.  I am confident that my prior experience can add tremendous value to the company.  I am excited to work closely with management and the Board to help make mining great again in America.”

This follows news from mid-March, “U.S. Gold Corp. Completes Additional District-wide Geochemical Surveys on the Keystone Project, Cortez Gold Trend, Nevada.”

From the news: Dave Mathewson, Vice President of Exploration for U.S. Gold Corp. states, "The geochemical data we have accumulated at Keystone demonstrate that we are potentially dealing with a very large and complex, Carlin deposit-type system.

One of the larger developments to come out this month has been from Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM), whose shareholders recently approved the company's $10 billion takeover of Goldcorp Inc. which is set to create the world's biggest gold producer with assets across the Americas, Africa and Australia.

The new company, to be called Newmont Goldcorp, will overtake the current market leader Barrick Gold Corp. in annual production, churning out 6 million to 7 million ounces of gold annually over the next 10 years, compared with Barrick's forecast of 5.1 million to 5.6 million ounces for 2019.

Lundin Mining Corp. (TSX:LUN) (OTC: LUNMF) said on Monday that it would acquire a Brazilian gold-copper mine of Yamana Gold Inc. for more than $1 billion, helping to boost its base metals production after a failed acquisition attempt last year.

The Chapada Mine, located about 270 kilometers (168 miles) northwest of the nation's capital of Brasilia, began operating in 2007 and is expected to produce about 54,500 tonnes of copper and 100,000 ounces of gold in 2019.

"We believe the acquisition of the Chapada Copper Mine in Brazil makes sense for Lundin as it gives them a producing, long life copper-gold mine with growth potential, and the price paid appears good," Sam Crittenden, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, wrote in a note.

Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO) (OTC: WDOFF) has also announced upcoming changes to its Board of Directors. At the Company’s upcoming 2019 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, Mr. Charles Page will retire as Chairman and director and will not stand for re-election. In addition, Mr. Rowland Uloth will also be retiring from the Board and will not stand for re-election at the AGM.

Pursuant to the Board’s succession plan, following the AGM and pending his re-election to the Board, Mr. Warwick Morley-Jepson will be appointed as the new independent Chairman of the Board. Mr. Morley-Jepson has more than 35 years experience in the mining industry within operations, project and business development in the precious metal sector.  He served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Kinross Gold Corporation from October 2014 to December 2016 and as Senior Vice President, Operations, and Vice President and Regional Vice President - Russia, between October 2009 and October 2014.

Despite some apathy hanging over the sector, gold stocks are still marching higher, thanks in part to renewed interest in the mining sector due to large acquisitions and high profile company appointments, and positioning for a long term future. The industry continues to reference peak gold as a catalyst for some of the mergers and acquisitions and posturing within the sector, inciting avid gold investors to look for the next possible play.  

Investorideas.com has created a directory of gold and mining stocks for investors following the sector.

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com “potcast” looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from experts and industry leaders.

Today we are looking at announcements from Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA), Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTC:GGBXF), Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT), 1933 Industries Inc. (CSE: TGIF) (OTCQX: TGIFF) and Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF).

Aphria Inc. (TSX: APHA) (NYSE: APHA) today announced that it has entered into a series of transactions that will accelerate the expiry date to April 25, 2019 for the previously announced take-over bid by Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE: GGB) (OTC:GGBXF) and will terminate the arrangements with GA Opportunities Corp. for consideration of $89.0 million.

Irwin D. Simon, Aphria's Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are very pleased to move forward with this favorable resolution as we continue to focus on the long-term growth of our leading cannabis business. We plan to use the $89.0 million in proceeds from the transaction to fund our strategic global expansion initiatives. On behalf of our Board of Directors and management team, we continue to recommend that Aphria shareholders reject the GGB offer and do not tender their Aphria shares to the GGB offer."

Aphria has entered into a shortened deposit period agreement with GGB to facilitate the acceleration of the expiry of GGB's offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Aphria (the "GGB Offer"). In that regard, Aphria has agreed to reduce the initial deposit period of the bid to 92 days from January 23, 2019, the date that GGB commenced the GGB Offer. GGB will be mailing a Notice of Variation providing that the GGB Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. on April 25, 2019. Based on the closing price of $3.86 per GGB share on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") on April 12, 2019, the implied consideration under the GGB Offer would be $6.07 per Aphria share, representing a significant 54.7% discount to Aphria's closing price on the Toronto Stock Exchange of $13.41 per share on the same day.

In light of the foregoing and for the reasons previously disclosed, Aphria continues to recommend that Aphria shareholders reject the GGB Offer and do not tender their Aphria shares to the GGB Offer.

Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT) announced that its Solutions Business has begun offering turnkey product development solutions with hemp-derived ingredients to business customers in the United States. A U.S.-based supply chain of licenced hemp extract producers has been established, and initial purchase orders are now being processed.

Neptune boasts long-standing experience in the management of custom and white label turnkey product development solutions comprising a diverse array of product forms including softgels, liquids, topicals, emulsions, and water-dispersible powders. Branded ingredients and products that have contributed to Neptune's success, such as MaxSimil® and ECSentials^TM formulations, could potentially be used in unique combinations with hemp ingredients, particularly as the U.S. regulatory framework around hemp extracts and cannabidiol (CBD) evolves.

"The U.S. market for hemp is developing rapidly and represents a significant opportunity for the consumer products industry. Neptune is now offering products and services to American brands that want to create a unique hemp-based portfolio, with products made exclusively in the U.S. for the U.S." said Jim Hamilton, President and CEO of Neptune.

1933 Industries Inc., a licensed cultivator and producer of cannabis flower and concentrates and manufacturer of hemp-derived CBD wellness products, announced the execution of an exclusive licensing agreement (the "Agreement") between Gotti's Gold Ex LLC and Alternative Medicine Association LC ("AMA"), for the launch of Gotti's Gold in Nevada, a new line of branded cannabis products in partnership with legendary hip-hop artist Kurupt. The Agreement expires on November 9, 2019, and is subject to renewal for an additional twelve (12) month term.

Gotti's Gold is an exclusive premium collection of fine cannabis products intended to appeal to adult-users of all demographics. Having served as Executive Vice President of Death Row Records, Kurupt is one of the most influential hip-hop artists in the business, playing an instrumental role in the launch of the early careers of some of the biggest names in hip-hop from 2Pac and Warren G to Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Kurupt entered the cannabis business as the original creator of now world-famous Moonrocks, and has been working with AMA since 2017, when it launched "The Real Kurupt's Moonrocks" in Nevada.

"We've teamed-up once again with the legendary Kurupt and we are proud to continue to build on our relationship with the launch of Gotti's Gold in the active Las Vegas market," said Mr. Joe Bleackley, Chief Operating Officer of the Company. "AMA has delivered consistent product quality and we are honored that Kurupt has selected AMA as a partner for his new line of premium products."  

Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM) (OTCQB: CHMJF). announced that its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, American CHM Investments Inc. has signed a letter of intent to partner with Applied Cannabis Sciences of New Jersey, a New Jersey-based medical retail dispensary applicant in the upcoming New Jersey round of Request for Applications, which is anticipated in 2020.

Applied Cannabis Sciences has been established by a team of seasoned professionals from the legal medicinal and adult use marijuana industry whose collective experience exceeds 50 years and includes over 20 cultivation, processing, and manufacturing licenses across four states (Washington, Oregon, California, and Colorado) within the U.S. The ACS team is predominantly made up of professionals that reside and currently operate from New Jersey and maintain multiple strategic relationships. Recently appointed Chemistree board member, Nico Escondido, is a founding member of the ACS team.

The application, if successful, will provide ACS with a fully integrated cultivation, manufacturing/processing and retail sales license in the state of New Jersey of which there are currently only 12 issued.

"We are excited about partnering with ACS, a highly experienced group recognized in the medical and recreational cannabis space that bring a track record of innovation and success.    The potential to expand Chemistree's presence outside of California and Washington state and ultimately introduce our signature brand Sugarleaf to the large New Jersey consumer base by partnering with ACS is consistent with our growth strategy," stated Karl Kottmeier, President of Chemistree. "New Jersey is home to over nine million people currently being served by only 12 cannabis operators in its medical program. New Jersey is a logical place for Chemistree to expand into and bring the Sugarleaf brand to the New Jersey market. I would like to specifically thank Nico Escondido, our newest board member for the introduction to this exciting opportunity and I am impressed with the significant impact he is already clearly having on our Company."
