This Week on the CSE Feb 4th through 8th

 

 

 

 

 

By Christian Granholm

 

Early February, 1858: gold starts trickling into the taverns of New Westminster.

 

“Nice nugget – where’d you find that?” asks every man jack in the joint.

 

Suddenly everyone’s best friend point up the Fraser and says, “It’s just laying about. All you have to do is go dig it out.”

 

Within months, 30,000 Americans are pounding across our border, sparking conflict with local First Nations and generally making a muck of it.

 

I think about that story sometimes, when I’m sitting in the border lineup to cross into Washington state.

 

Strong borders are like good fences: sometimes they’re necessary to make good neighbours.

 

 

New Listings

 

We had no new listings for this week, but we did have two name changes:

 

BLVD Centers Corporation (BLVD)  has announced a name and symbol change to Ventura Cannabis and Wellness Corp. (VCAN).

 

Global Blockchain Technologies Corp. has announced a name change to Global Gaming Technologies Corp. The symbol will remain “BLOC.U and BLOC.WT.U”.

 

February 4th

 

AgraFlora Organics International Inc. (formerly PUF Ventures Inc.) (CSE: AGRA) announce that Natures Hemp Corp., a spin-off company from PUF Ventures, is moving forward with the development of a hemp based coffee creamer.

 

The University of Manitoba is undertaking phase two of product development which includes product and process optimization, increased production scale plus a shelf life study.

The Cultivation & Processing Licenses were awarded to Rubicon Organics’ 20-acre property with a state-of-the-art 125,000 sq. ft. facility in British Columbia. “Our next generation facility design when paired with our proprietary certified organic production system results in terpene and cannabinoid levels that will be unrivalled in Canada” said Jesse McConnell, Co-Founder and CEO of Rubicon Organics.

Irving Resources Inc. (CSE:IRV) has acquired two new gold projects in Hokkaido, Japan.

 

Shimokawa Gold Project Irving recently filed applications for 15 mineral prospecting licenses totaling 48.50 sq km at Shimokawa, an area prospective for hot spring epithermal gold mineralization.

Eastern Zinc Corp. (CSE:EZNC) will acquire a large portfolio of mineral rights focused on an emerging carbonate reef district in Nova Scotia, which is highly prospective for zinc mineralization.

 

“The zinc mineralization within Nova Scotia’s Windsor Basin shows significant similarities to other carbonatezinc-lead deposits in the major mining districts of Pine Point (now controlled by Osisko Metals), as well as the mid-Tennessee. With our adjacent property neighbor ScoZinc set to recommence near-term zinc production, Eastern Zinc is well positioned for future success in one of Canada’s upcoming zinc production camps,” stated Joel Dumaresq, CEO of Eastern Zinc.

 

The transaction consists of 14 exploration licenses covering 558 mineral claims located in Nova Scotia.

 

 

February 5th

 

FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) and Solarvest BioEnergy Inc. (TSX-V: SVS) have signed an LOI to develop and test pharma-grade cannabinoids made out of algae. Solarvest is a technology company which has developed an algal-based flexible production platform capable of producing health products.

“We are currently working on a partnership model to hard code the decision-making process into the Electronic Medical Records,” said Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of Premier. “There has been a critical gap between the patient’s need for medical cannabis and the doctor’s knowledge and comfort level in prescribing it. At Premier we understand the frustration felt from both the patient and the doctor and are integrating what we think is a revolutionary process. This new tool will allow us to provide a much-needed service to the 287 clinics and almost 3 million patients in our ecosystem.”

“We have existing relationships with HSN, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond and Amazon in addition to our vast indirect sales channels,” says Mr. Rae Kim, President of Infinity One.

 

“Most of our chain store accounts range from 200 to 400 retail locations. The plan we have developed with Weekend sees us expanding in the second phase to add edibles and beverage products to our product line as we expand distribution in these regions and add Texas in the coming months.”

Biome Grow Inc. (CSE: BIO) has released its first shipments of finished cannabis product to Newfoundland and Labrador. Products are expected to be delivered directly to retail locations across Newfoundland and Labrador and accessible to consumers next week. A second shipment of finished product will also be sent later this month with an emphasis on independent retail locations.

 

 

The Overall

 

The week was a bit of an anomaly for the overall trend, opening at 836.21 and closing at 832.77. However, the index continues to rise at a steady pace.

 

Always Be Closing

 

“Where’s my Trump Bump?” is what I’m hearing from investors this month.

 

How come Canadian stock markets aren’t performing like their American counterparts and why aren’t overseas investors seeing value here?

 

Well, that’s because we’re not looking in the right places. Sure, the TSX is down about 3.1% over the last year, but that exchange is dominated by resource-heavy stocks.

 

Look to the CSE for dynamic growth: cannabis companies are where it’s at. That’s my opinion and I’m not alone.
