$ETST President Commits to Donating 50,000 of his Personal Shares

Doral, FL, Jan. 18, 2018 —

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC PINK: ETST) (“ETST” or the “Company”), an innovative biotech company that operates in the fields of cannabinoid (CBD), nutraceutical and pharmaceutical and is focused on R&D for certain medical devices, announced today that Company President Nickolas S.

The Foundation’s goal is to help individuals suffering from cancer, epilepsy, autism, addiction and chronic pain who are not able to afford ETST’s products assisting them in obtaining these products at a reasonable price or at no cost. ETST plans to include participating organizations and those taking part in human trials and to provide them with  the benefits and supplies at our cost following the conclusion of these studies.

Mr. Aviles comments, “We are at the forefront of a new frontier in modern medicine. We have seen the tremendous potential our formulas have to improve the health of our patients, and we want to formally research and share our results and our life-changing treatments with as many people as we can, Our ability to do this stems from the education we provide. I will do my best to educate students, teachers, parents and the medical community on the benefits we have discovered in CBD-based treatments.”

Mr. Tabraue, the Company’s president, director and COO, has agreed to donate the shares of compensation he is to receive for Q1 2018, equal to  50,000 shares, to the Foundation. The shares will be used as an asset for the Foundation as it continues to grow and requires additional funds to help meet its obligations.

Mr. Tabraue concludes, “I have received a tremendous amount of positive feedback regarding our CBD-based products from children, adults and elderly patients alike who are suffering from cancer, epilepsy, chronic pain and autism, just to name a few. Nothing feels better than knowing my Company’s products have helped change peoples’ lives in a positive way. I do know there are many patients who are not able to purchase our products and they seek extra help in addition to the discounts we offer. Through the Foundation, I feel we can truly help those in need continue to find improved health.. As mentioned earlier, I am currently in talks with many great medical practitioners, schools and organizations, and I plan on sharing updates as they progress.”

$CIIX Repeal of Cole Memo Raises Concerns, Opportunities for Cannabis Industry

January 18, 2018

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Shortly after cannabis enthusiasts and investors celebrated California’s January 1, 2018, rollout of legal recreational marijuana sales to adults, the federal government reversed its course on marijuana policy, calling for tighter enforcement of marijuana laws. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the Cole Memorandum, a 2013 policy that offered some protections from federal prosecution for the cultivation, distribution and possession of cannabis in states where the highly regulated plant is legal (http://nnw.fm/7h5KR). Sessions’ decision ushered in a deeper freeze to the banking dilemma facing cannabis retailers, who have found themselves relying primarily on cash transactions since cannabis remains illegal under federal law. Although the rollback of the Cole memo created serious questions and sent marijuana-related stocks lower, there continues to be positive movement in the cannabis industry as companies such as ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) (CIIX Profile), Overstock.com, Inc. (OSTK), MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (MGTI), Riot Blockchain, Inc. (RIOT), and Xunlei Limited (XNET) invest their attention and resources on alternative financing options and the technology behind them.

Confusion = Opportunity

Even amid what the media is describing as a potential future “crackdown” on marijuana-related business, the cannabis industry is expected to mushroom from $6.7 billion in 2016 to over $21 billion by 2021, according to Arcview Group research (http://nnw.fm/PL0e0). In rescinding the Cole Memo policy, Sessions said future prosecutions of businesses and individuals who sell cannabis in states where it has been legalized will be left up to individual U.S. attorneys (http://nnw.fm/E5rrP). Nearly 70 U.S. representatives of Congress wasted no time in proposing a spending bill amendment that would ensure protections for states that have legalized marijuana in spite of Sessions’ decision. Representatives said the proposed provision is written to specifically respect the constitutional authority of states to regulate commerce within their own borders (http://nnw.fm/v1yAU).

Warren Wang, CEO and founder of ChineseInvestors.com (CIIX), said that even during a time of confusion in the broader cannabis industry there is opportunity if one knows where to look.

ChineseInvestors.com, a diverse educational and consulting company for the Chinese-speaking community in China and the United States with interests in the cannabinoid (CBD) market, recently announced it is spinning off two of its divisions to allow the company to focus on its new cryptocurrency division.

“We are excited to announce our intention to spin off CBD Biotechnology and ChineseHempOil.com, Inc., as we believe the existing business lines and the new acquisitions in China, secured by CEO (of CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) Summer Yun, will allow these entities to continue to grow in their respective markets, while bringing new value to the company’s existing shareholders,” Wang said in a December news release (http://nnw.fm/Yp1aN).

Cryptocurrency Options

The company recently announced an agreement with Blockchain BTM, LLC, to host a Bitcoin ATM in the lobby of its headquarters in San Gabriel, Calif. (http://nnw.fm/Vb6wQ). The Bitcoin ATM allows cryptocurrency enthusiasts to purchase up to $7,000 worth of Bitcoin daily. The company plans to expand this service in other Chinese communities located throughout the United States, in addition to providing onsite customer service representatives able to help customers with using the Bitcoin ATM. The machine offers translation into five languages including traditional and simplified Chinese, English, Spanish, French and Korean.

In the same announcement, CIIX unveiled its new cryptocurrency education and information services, including the first Chinese Daily Video Newscast, Bitcoin Multimillionaire, broadcast from the NYSE and covering cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. In November the company launched a free bitcoin news and education website in the Chinese language under the domain name newcoins168.com to serve Chinese cryptocurrency investors globally (http://nnw.fm/Vb6wQ).

“In addition to providing skilled investors with news about digital currency, ChineseInvestors.com, Inc., hopes to satisfy the average person’s curiosity about cryptocurrency, including how to purchase Bitcoin,” Wang said in announcing the company’s strategy. “Moreover, the underlying blockchain technology is extremely compelling and we expect to see many interesting developments in this area. Bitcoin ATMs are just one example of how this area is moving forward. We are excited to make this service available to the Chinese community.”

Viable Alternatives

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are seen as viable alternatives to conventional banking for the cannabis industry. Adopting this method of payment could provide a safer alternative to dealing solely in cash when conducting a transaction at a medical marijuana dispensary or retail establishment (http://nnw.fm/cMs5P). Cryptocurrencies are supported through blockchain technology, an encrypted digital ledger used to record financial and informational transactions. Wang, who remains bullish on the future of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, emphasized during a recent interview (http://nnw.fm/lGJ4G) that the Chinese-speaking community worldwide is eager to learn more about buying and managing digital currencies, despite China’s ban on trading cryptocurrencies on a regulated exchange.

In an interview with the Bad Crypto Podcast (http://nnw.fm/oO7WI), Wang said the Chinese investor is an important target for cryptocurrency entrepreneurs.

“The Chinese investor is an advocate of gambling,” he explained. “Most today trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on the offline market. The Chinese-speaking people within China and also in North America — the U.S. and Canada — are excited about Bitcoin.”

Legalization of recreational marijuana for adults is inching closer in Canada with an expected July 1, 2018, opening date. Blockchain technology, the underpinning strength of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Ethereum, is quickly being touted as the financial security tool of the future for the cannabis industry, its producers, growers, labs, specialists and dispensaries (http://nnw.fm/1OY0z). Industry giant IBM is also reporting that blockchain technology could provide “an irrefutable chain of custody” for cannabis — from its infancy as a seed to final production and sale of the plant’s various forms (http://nnw.fm/6qH4i).

Blockchain Believers

Among other companies developing opportunities in the blockchain sector, Overstock.com (OSTK) solidified its goal of bringing greater transparency and efficiency to capital markets by launching an initial coin offering (ICO), cryptocurrency’s version of a stock initial public offering (IPO), in December through its exchange operator, tZERO. The “pre-sale” phase targeting strategic purchasers began Dec. 18 and a “subsequent sale period” phase seeking agreements with other accredited investors is scheduled to begin Jan. 18 (http://nnw.fm/rOJa6). Overstock is the third most active corporate blockchain investor worldwide.

MGT Capital Investments (MGTI), with facilities in Washington state and Sweden, ranks as one of the largest global bitcoin miners. The company is also deeply invested in cybersecurity technologies for mobile and corporate applications. The company announced agreements in December to secure “reliable and adequate” electrical power in Sweden to begin bit mining operations there by the end of January. Stephen Schaeffer, president of the company’s Crypto-Capital Strategies business unit, said the company is “exploring cost-efficient locations for hosting and electricity on a global basis” (http://nnw.fm/4UwVJ).

Riot Blockchain (RIOT), a strategic investor and operator in blockchain technology, focusing primarily on bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains, has its own bitcoin mining operation. Its portfolio includes investments in cryptocurrency accounting and audit technology services, a Canadian exchange for digital currencies and a telecom industry escrow service based on the blockchain. Riot recently announced it has established Digital Green Energy Corp. as a wholly owned subsidiary to explore international infrastructure opportunities. The company is identifying environmentally friendly projects with large energy capacity and a cost-efficient rate for cryptocurrency mining and data center operations, according to a news release (http://nnw.fm/2FH1p).

Based in China, Xunlei Ltd. (XNET) is an online advertising service provider that also provides downloading services and online game platforms for game developers and users. Its products and services include Xunlei accelerator and cloud acceleration subscription services, in addition to providing mobile device applications. Onething Technologies Co., a subsidiary of Xunlei Ltd., recently brought its OneThing Cloud technology that integrates “crowd sourced computing + blockchain” to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. OneThing Cloud is a smart device that can collect idle computing resources including bandwidth and storage from users who are then rewarded with a form of digital asset called LinkToken (http://nnw.fm/wf87Z).

Blockchain technology is being touted as one of the single most important advancements in the securities and financial sectors. Cannabis-related business owners, along with other ancillary retail industry sectors, are paying close attention to the progress being made by companies leading the way in today’s fluid environment as the public and politicians grapple with marijuana’s next chapter.

$STLHF NetworkNewsAudio Audio Press Release on Lithium Brine Assets

New York, New York–(January 18, 2018) – NetworkNewsAudio announces the Audio Press Release (APR) titled “More Lithium Juniors Could Get Swallowed by Majors in 2018,” featuring Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV: SLL) (FSE: S5L) (OTCQX: STLHF).

Standard Lithium’s sole focus is on unlocking the value of existing large-scale U.S.-based lithium bearing brine resources that can be brought into production quickly. The current projects that Standard Lithium is working on highlight this, such as the Bristol Dry Lake and Cadiz Dry Lake lithium brine projects in California’s Mojave Desert and the recently announced Smackover Formation lithium brine project in Arkansas.

Standard Lithium’s fast-track approach to lithium production makes it an intriguing option for investors seeking to gain exposure to the massive upside forecast for the lithium industry. Though other small cap investment options are available in lithium mining, few offer a pure play market like Standard Lithium.

About Standard Lithium

Standard’s value creation strategy encompasses acquiring a diverse and highly prospective portfolio of large-scale domestic brine resources, led by an innovative and results-oriented management team with a strong focus on technical skills. The company is currently focused on the immediate exploration and development of the Bristol Dry Lake Lithium Project located in the Mojave region of San Bernardino County, California; the location has significant infrastructure in-place, with easy road and rail access, abundant electricity and water sources, and is already permitted for extensive brine extraction and processing activities. The company is also commencing resource evaluation on its 33,000 acres of lithium brine leases located in the Smackover Formation.

$STLHF Signs LOI for Development of Continuously-Operating Demo Pilot Plant

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 17, 2018 — Standard Lithium Ltd. (“Standard Lithium” or the “Company”) (TSXV:SLL) (OTCQX:STLHF) (FRA:S5L) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent with a non-affiliated NYSE-listed company whereby, subject to the execution of a definitive agreement on terms acceptable to both parties (the “Definitive Agreement”) and obtaining necessary consents and permits, the Company will design, build and operate a continuous demonstration scale pilot plant (the “Pilot Plant”), adjacent to certain existing chemical production facilities located in southern Arkansas.

The Letter of Intent provides for a ninety-day period within which the Company and the other party will negotiate a Definitive Agreement in respect of the proposed Pilot Plant.  Under the proposed Definitive Agreement, Standard Lithium would be permitted to build an in-place, continuously operating, pilot plant to explore and demonstrate a modern, selective extraction and purification process to produce battery-grade lithium products from a variety of brine streams, including tail brines from the Smackover Formation, which is one of the world’s largest brine deposits,.

In addition, Standard Lithium seeks to expand its lithium brine footprint through the evaluation of opportunities to obtain additional brine leases or sources located in southern Arkansas, which may allow for the transport and testing of multiple sources of Smackover brine in the Company’s proposed Pilot Plant.

Standard Lithium’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert Mintak commented, “The  facilities in southern Arkansas where we may build the Pilot Plant are fed by a network of brine production wells in southern Arkansas that access underground brine from the Smackover Formation and transport it via an extensive system of pipelines and related infrastructure.  Our relationship with this other party is expected to provide Standard Lithium with access to ‘tail’ brines to test for the viability of lithium extraction.  In signing this letter of intent and negotiating quickly an agreement for pilot scale testing, Standard Lithium expects to de-risk and expedite the initial phases of resource assessment and project development while realizing significant reductions in both the capital and time associated with permitting and drilling test wells.

President and Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Andy Robinson also commented, “When the definitive agreement with the other party is signed, it will allow us to move very quickly from the process testing work that we are currently performing at several locations, towards the design and fabrication of the continuous Pilot Plant.  The location of the Pilot Plant could not be more favourable, as we will have direct access to the tail brine feed into the site, all necessary utilities, and the access to the services of an existing workforce of skilled and trained brine handling and processing technicians and engineers, all within an existing permitted and fenced brine processing site.  This relationship aligns fully with Standard Lithium’s goal to demonstrate the efficient and effective use of modern processing techniques to produce battery-grade lithium products from large and previously overlooked brine resources”.

Proposed Transaction Terms

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, completion of the Definitive Agreement will be subject to a number of conditions, including completion of satisfactory due diligence investigation in support of the feasibility of the Pilot Plant and obtaining all necessary consents and permits.  In consideration for the right to conduct a due diligence investigation Standard Lithium has made a non-refundable deposit of US$100,000, and will make a further cash payment of US$100,000 upon signing of the Definitive Agreement.  The Company will pay certain recurring fees if the Pilot Plant is constructed.  No partnership is created by any of these agreements with the other party, and the other party has no obligation to fund any of the capital costs of the Company’s lithium-related activities.

$NEWA and NW Blockchain Limited Strategic Partnership Agreement

YANTAI, China, Jan. 16, 2018 — Newater Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEWA) (“NEWA”, or the “Company”), a developer and manufacturer of membrane filtration products and related hardware and engineered systems used in the treatment, recycling and discharge of wastewater, is pleased to announce its new strategic partnership with NW Blockchain Limited (“NWBL”), a blockchain developer focused upon environmental protection projects, to jointly develop blockchain applications to use in the wastewater treatment industry.

NWBL expects to utilize blockchain technology in the wastewater treatment industry to develop a new value-based exchange network. Blockchain is a digitized, decentralized, open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way.

The partners will focus on building a traceable, transparent, and highly-secured platform for wastewater treatment opportunities and transactions. The partners expect to develop a blockchain token system that will be backed by the assets and the revenues from the wastewater treatment projects invested by NWBL and operated and managed by Newater. Investors will be able to purchase tokens from NWBL.

For each wastewater treatment project identified by both partners, NWBL will fund the project and purchase the wastewater treatment equipment from the Company. The Company will then manage and operate those projects. During the lifetime of the project, NWBL will pay the Company 20% of the project proceeds for managing and operating the project annually.

“Having a strategic partner like NWBL opens the doors for our company to access blockchain technology and allows us to potentially significantly increase the Company’s revenue by engaging in larger projects that we believe are readily available in the growing China market.”

“We believe the partnership with NWBL will add value to our shareholders because in addition to our traditional equipment sales business, the management fees expected to be generated from operating wastewater treatment plants will provide an additional revenue stream. We believe this strategic partnership will expedite our growth and strengthen our company’s position as a leading disk tube reverse osmosis and disk tube nano-filtration manufacturer in China,” commented Mr. Yuebiao Li, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.”

About NW Blockchain Limited

NW Blockchain Limited, a blockchain ecosystem builder, is focused on environmental protection and atmospheric management using blockchain technology.

$CIIX NetworkNewsWire Publication on Transformative Tech in Cryptocurrency Markets

NEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2018 — via NetworkNewsWire — NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB:CIIX), a client of NNW.

To view the full publication, titled “Cryptocurrency Finds Security Amid Underlying Mutual Distrust Common Between Trading Partners,” visit: https://www.networknewswire.com/cryptocurrency-finds-security-amid-underlying-mutual-distrust-common-trading-partners/

ChineseInvestors.com (CIIX) provides innovation in real-time market analysis and educational services in Chinese language character sets, support services for advertising and public relations, and the sale of hemp-based products and other health-related products. Despite China’s prohibitions on trading cryptocurrencies as a regulated central exchange, company CEO Warren Wang stated in an interview last month that many Chinese investors are trading them legally on unregulated “over the counter” platforms that connect individuals to each other. And ChineseInvestors.com showed its own commitment to cryptocurrency by installing a Bitcoin ATM in the lobby of its San Gabriel, California, headquarters (http://nnw.fm/VIa3n). Wang called it the first such automated teller for cryptocurrency within the Chinese community in the United States and said it has generated a lot of traffic.

China serves as an example of the mutual distrust that drives cryptocurrencies’ prospects while relying on so-called “miners” to establish a level of trust in the legitimacy of the exchanges.

Despite the lack of a regulated Chinese exchange to trade cryptocurrencies and what Wang referred to as the Chinese government’s “badmouthing” of bitcoin though its official TV media outlet, the CEO said Chinese-speaking people within China and North America are very interested in buying, selling and trading bitcoin among themselves and he urged entrepreneurs to be patient as the community learns the ropes.

About ChineseInvestors.com

Founded in 1999, ChineseInvestors.com endeavors to be an innovative company providing: (a) real-time market commentary, analysis, and educational related services in Chinese language character sets (traditional and simplified); (b) advertising and public relation related support services; and (c) retail and online sales of hemp-based products and other health related products.

$STLHF NetworkNewsWire Announces Publication on Macro Factors Driving Lithium Demand

New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – January 16, 2018) – NetworkNewsWire (“NNW”), a multifaceted financial news and publishing company, today announces the publication of an editorial featuring Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSXV: SLL) (FSE: S5L) (OTCQX: STLHF), a client of NNW that is building one of the largest portfolios of high quality, domestic U.S. lithium brine assets.

The publication, titled, “Broader Market Shifts Send Lithium Demand Over the Top,” reviews opportunity for lithium suppliers generated by the global push to increase use of the metal as a power source.

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Standard Lithium Ltd. (OTCQX: STLHF) (TSXV: SLL) (FSE: S5L) is focusing its efforts on developing existing large-scale lithium brine resources in the United States that can be brought quickly into production. … Part of the allure of the Bristol Dry Lake project in particular is that it is currently permitted for brine extraction and processing activities; has significant production infrastructure in place; and is serviced by major highways, power and a dedicated rail siding and loading spur. Located 20 km (just under 12.5 miles) southeast of Bristol Dry Lake is the Cadiz Dry Lake Property, of which three initial grab samples of brine wells showed lithium concentrations in pumped brine ranging between 112-139 mg/L.

The company’s other significant project is its Smackover Lithium Brine Project. As announced earlier this week, Standard Lithium furthered its existing partnership with TETRA with an option agreement to acquire the rights to conduct exploration, production and lithium extraction activities in a highly productive area of Southern Arkansas’ Smackover Formation.

About Standard Lithium

Standard’s value creation strategy encompasses acquiring a diverse and highly prospective portfolio of large-scale domestic brine resources, led by an innovative and results-oriented management team with a strong focus on technical skills. The company is currently focused on the immediate exploration and development of the Bristol Dry Lake Lithium Project located in the Mojave region of San Bernardino County, California; the location has significant infrastructure in-place, with easy road and rail access, abundant electricity and water sources, and is already permitted for extensive brine extraction and processing activities. The company is also commencing resource evaluation on its 33,000 acres of lithium brine leases located in the Smackover Formation.

$VSQTF Partners With World’s First Regulated Token Sale Platform

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 15, 2018 — In another move reflecting its over-arching commitment to be a strong presence in the space of blockchain technology, Victory Square Technologies Inc. (“Victory Square” or the (“Company”) (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FWB:6F6) has become an early strategic adopter, investor, and partner in the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange (“GBX”).

The GBX, based in Gibraltar, is a subsidiary of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (“GSX”), a European Union (“EU”) regulated stock exchange since 2014. Victory Square’s investment of $150,000 USD into GBX (the “Investment”) connects the Company with the GBX partnership network and renowned blockchain technology professional services firms such as Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, PricewaterhouseCoopers, ISOLAS and Kenetic Capital.

In exchange for the Investment, the Company will receive 1,500,000 cryptographic tokens known as Rock Tokens (the “RKT Tokens”) issued by the crowd-contribution smart-contract. The RKT Tokens allocated to Victory Square include an agreed 10% bonus for being an early partner of GBX.

“The Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange represents a tremendous opportunity to partner with the world’s first licensed and regulated token sale platform and digital asset exchange that is operated by an EU-regulated stock exchange,” said Victory Square Chief Executive Officer Shafin Diamond Tejani. “The GBX is expected to be a global listing and token sales springboard for utility tokens that have satisfied a strict due diligence and admissions process as well as a high-quality digital asset exchange. In this regard, the GBX intends to set a higher standard for token issuance and trading for the benefit of all market participants.

“Victory Square is delighted to partner with the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange on this initiative, which provides an elite regulated market – a true rock, so to speak — for our portfolio companies and other leaders in the field,” added Tejani.

Gibraltar is an economically prosperous sovereignty with a highly-diversified economy spanning financial services, shipping, tourism, and — most notably — e-gaming. Gibraltar has established itself as one of the earliest homes to blockchain and crypto-asset companies. It has had tremendous success in identifying new, technology-based opportunities and then building vibrant and well-regulated industries.

GBX CEO Nick Cowan said: “Since we started the GBX project, we have been humbled and flattered by the support and interest we have received in building a rules-based marketplace promoting best practices in the industry. We have received phenomenal support globally for our ICO, and we are very pleased that Victory Square has chosen to join us in our journey to build the crypto harbour, right here in Gibraltar.”

The GBX Platform will provide crypto and blockchain companies a number of advantages. These include: the ability to raise post-ICO equity rounds on the GSX; a regulated and licensed platform for companies raising through an ICO; and a fully regulated cryptocurrency exchange for their tokens post-ICO. The Gibraltar government recently launched their Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Framework, solidifying their position as a market leader in blockchain and facilitator of innovation in technology and providing a pathway to Tokenized Securities (bonds, issuances) within a Stock Exchange ecosystem.

Victory Square selected GBX as an investment vehicle because the GBX has been exceptionally thorough in the preparation and organization of GBX’s overall business structure and operations. In particular, the GBX has developed the GBX Alliance to help facilitate discourse and form thought leadership around the growing token industry. The GBX Alliance includes key players and interest groups throughout the blockchain space including technology firms, academia, investors, practitioners, and legal advisors. Collectively, stakeholders will elect a council which will identify and manage partnerships and sponsor initiatives, further raising the profile of the GBX. The Alliance Council, in turn, connects to the GBX Partnership Model, which selects proven industry experts and key influencers, advises clients and will be responsible for bringing tokens to market on the GBX.

In this regard, the GBX intends to set a higher standard for token issuance and trading for the benefit of all market participants.

The GBX will benefit from the jurisdiction’s Distributed Ledger Technology Regulatory Framework which came into effect on 1 January 2018. From this date, firms, in or from Gibraltar that in the course of business use DLT to store or transmit value belonging to others, and whose activities are not regulated under another financial services framework, will be regulated in Gibraltar.

$MYSZ Positive Response to Measurement Tech at CES

AIRPORT CITY, Israel, Jan. 12, 2018 — My Size, Inc. (the “Company” or “My Size”) (NASDAQ: MYSZ) (TASE: MYSZ), the developer and creator of smartphone measurement applications, concluded a hugely successful first three days at CES in Las Vegas on January 9th through 11th and expects continued interest over the next few days from potential customers, as well as from apparel and tech media. MySizeID™, the Company’s revolutionary patented body measurement technology, designed to transform the way apparel is purchased online, is being unveiled at CES. A video that demonstrates MySizeID’s capabilities and benefits for online retailers was also launched at CES. To watch the video – press here.

“MySizeID has been received with excitement and enthusiasm during the first three days of CES. Our booth was visited by a large number of online retailers seeking to improve their customers’ shopping experience. We had meetings and highly productive discussions with some of the leading retailers in the world. Apparel retailers know that their customers prefer to shop online and simply want to make a purchase that is the right size the first time they order. We believe that MySizeID provides the key to unlocking further growth in the multi-billion dollar online apparel market, while improving economics for retailers and giving consumers a more satisfying shopping experience,” said My Size CEO, Ronen Luzon.

“In an online clothing market, estimated to be valued at over $72 billion in the U.S. alone, 70%* of apparel returns are size related, while 32%* of shoppers don’t purchase fashion online because of uncertainly around size and fit. My Size has the technology to address this weakness in the e-commerce economy and we believe our solutions will deliver clear financial results for our customers.”

MySizeID enables consumers to measure their body using their smartphones, allowing the application to determine the correct size for clothing provided online. The technology reflects a conceptual revolution that may significantly reduce the margin of error experienced by consumers who purchase the wrong size online and may increase consumer confidence in online purchases on matters relating to size.

The Annual CES Trade Show in Las Vegas is considered among the main platforms for introducing innovations and advanced technologies. The show attracts over 3,900 companies, manufacturers, developers, tech, software and hardware experts. Over 170,000 participants of about 150 countries are expected to participate in the trade show. For more information about the trade show – press here.

$CIIX Cryptocurrency Security Among Between Trading Partners

January 12, 2018

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: In a global marketplace where Internet-based technologies increasingly allow businesses the means and confidence to work with each other beyond political borders and with a minimum of governmental interference, cryptocurrencies have the potential to create a B2B interdependent financing system — perhaps even a single, common digital currency someday — because of the blockchain technology that underpins cryptocurrency trade. With the beginning of market movement for the new year, cryptocurrency started just shy of $613 billion in total capitalization and climbed steadily toward $750 billion on Jan. 4, showing an exponential rise just since April 2017 when it passed the $25 billion mark. ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) (CIIX Profile) is one of the businesses committed to the development of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies, recently announcing plans to spin-off two of its corporate divisions tied to hemp marketing and the burgeoning legal cannabis industry in order to focus on its cryptocurrency division (http://nnw.fm/5sf8Z). Other companies preparing to capitalize on opportunities in the blockchain sector include MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (MGTI), LongFin Corp. (LFIN), Bitcoin Services, Inc. (BTSC) and Overstock.com, Inc., (OSTK).

ChineseInvestors.com (CIIX) provides innovation in real-time market analysis and educational services in Chinese language character sets, support services for advertising and public relations, and the sale of hemp-based products and other health-related products. Despite China’s prohibitions on trading cryptocurrencies as a regulated central exchange, company CEO Warren Wang stated in an interview last month that many Chinese investors are trading them legally on unregulated “over the counter” platforms that connect individuals to each other. And ChineseInvestors.com showed its own commitment to cryptocurrency by installing a Bitcoin ATM in the lobby of its San Gabriel, California, headquarters (http://nnw.fm/VIa3n). Wang called it the first such automated teller for cryptocurrency within the Chinese community in the United States and said it has generated a lot of traffic.

China serves as an example of the mutual distrust that drives cryptocurrencies’ prospects while relying on so-called “miners” to establish a level of trust in the legitimacy of the exchanges.

Despite the lack of a regulated Chinese exchange to trade cryptocurrencies and what Wang referred to as the Chinese government’s “badmouthing” of bitcoin though its official TV media outlet, the CEO said Chinese-speaking people within China and North America are very interested in buying, selling and trading bitcoin among themselves and he urged entrepreneurs to be patient as the community learns the ropes.

“I believe Chinese investors will be the richest group in the world in (the) next 20 years, … because Chinese middle class are emerging since 2000 when the country opened the door to worldwide people,” he said in an interview with NetworkNewsWire (http://nnw.fm/U2Uct). “Real estate is very expensive and so are labor and rents in China. Investors have a high savings rate. They now would like to make bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies part of their assets.”

Blockchain technology was established on the principle that an unalterable digital ledger of transactions (arranged in blocks) requiring transparency among multiple parties would reduce the risk of fraud and prevent duplication in the transactions. It was proposed as the foundation of an alternative, people’s-run economic system that would not require the security of an established storefront middleman like a bank to uphold the transactions. Critics have questioned it on a commodities basis, searching for an undeniable stability that investors can rely on.

ChineseInvestors.com’s ATM is one example of the company’s commitment to providing cryptocurrency education. The company recently attended a Toronto cryptocurrency roadshow and educational seminar on how to buy, sell and manage the coins, and it produces a daily video from the New York Stock Exchange called ‘Bitcoin Multimillionaire’ that is focused on news about the currency (http://nnw.fm/Lfrx8).

“In an effort to expand its media products, as the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 came to a close, the Company announced that it would be working with Wall Street Multimedia (WSM), an independent news agency located in the NYSE, to produce a daily cryptocurrency video newscast in Chinese, providing timely information and exclusive analysis regarding all aspects of the emerging digital currency world, including specific cryptocurrencies, such as ‘Bitcoin’ and ‘Ethereum,’ industry trends, price movement, blockchain technology, sector-related stocks and ETFs, etc.,” ChineseInvestors.com stated in its most recent 10Q filing in October.

The company has offices in Shanghai, New York and California, and has plans to expand to Canada.

“There’s so many cryptocurrencies from China emerging, or at least on the exchange right now,” Wang said, referring to a sort of anti-governmental sentiment and a “huge demand from (the) Chinese community trying to learn these assets and what (they) are about” that “gives us tremendous opportunity to bring the revenue and profitability to our shareholders.”

Other companies focused on the potential of blockchain’s financial applications include:

MGT Capital Investments (MGTI), which is a Northwestern United States company deeply invested in cybersecurity technologies for mobile and corporate applications. The company is also one of the largest worldwide working in Bitcoin mining and announced agreements in December to secure “reliable and adequate” electrical power in Sweden to begin bit mining operations there by the end of January. (http://nnw.fm/noP3K).

LongFin (LFIN) specializes in structured commodity trade finance worldwide and works to establish markets and ensure liquidity through technological advances. The company stated in the fall of 2017 that it aims to connect 70 FX and spot exchanges with 300 banks through its electronic market platform, and in December made headlines when the acquisition of Ziddu.com sparked a huge cryptocurrency fever-inspired bounce in trading (http://nnw.fm/jRr8I).

Bitcoin Services (BTSC) is another company that performs bitcoin mining services, and began mining its own cryptocurrency known as Dash in early 2017. The company develops and markets blockchain-related software, and created subsidiary CryptoCapital Corp. in the fall of 2017 as a cryptocurrency holding firm, or a digital wallet, that would let users store multiple digital currencies in one place.

Overstock.com (OSTK) solidified its goal of bringing greater transparency and efficiency to capital markets by launching an initial coin offering (ICO), cryptocurrency’s version of a stock initial public offering (IPO), in December through its exchange operator, tZERO. The “pre-sale” phase targeting strategic purchasers began Dec. 18 and a “subsequent sale period” phase seeking agreements with other accredited investors is scheduled to begin Jan. 18. Overstock is the third-most-active corporate blockchain investor worldwide, according to a CB Insights report (http://nnw.fm/Cd39K), and may even consider selling off the retail business to focus on the 10 blockchain companies it owns (http://nnw.fm/Sx0gO).

Amid a worldwide effort to conduct business across borders as seamlessly and transparently as possible, blockchain technology and its financial sector development as cryptocurrencies are building confidence in an alternative economic system built on the need to overcome mutual distrust that exists between trading partners, governments and people in general as they strive to successfully work together.

$STLHF Broader Market Shifts Send Lithium Demand Over the Top

January 11, 2018

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Tesla CEO Elon Musk in December made true his promise to build in South Australia the world’s biggest lithium ion battery. “The world’s largest lithium ion battery will be an important part of our energy mix, and it sends the clearest message that South Australia will be a leader renewable energy with battery storage,” Australian Premier Jay Weatherill said in statement (http://nnw.fm/m2Lzh).” Musk’s vow came after a challenge for Tesla to address power blackouts and energy shortages in South Australia. In tandem with Weatherill’s enthusiasm over the success of the project, the achievement reveals a broader, global push to increase the use of lithium as a power source. Several companies are poised to scale up their production efforts and capitalize on the resulting global demand for lithium and cobalt, which is essential to lithium-ion battery operation. They include Standard Lithium Ltd. (OTCQX: STLHF) (TSX.V: SLL) (FRA: S5L) (STLHF Profile), Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A. (NYSE: SQM), NRG Metals, Inc. (TSXV: NGZ), FMC Corp. (NYSE: FMC) and eCobalt Solutions Inc. (TSE: ECS).

China Boosts Potential for Lithium Companies

China has the largest automotive industry in the world and it is estimated that cars running on combustion engines account for around 30 percent of the country’s air pollution. The government’s decision to phase out vehicles operating on fossil fuels has been welcomed by environmentalists.

The Chinese government aims to produce 7 million EVs and hybrid vehicles by 2025, and Goldman Sachs has estimated that China will account for 60 percent of all global EV sales by 2030.

China’s plans may appear ambitious, but it already has two of the top five lithium-ion battery manufacturers in the world, BYD and CATL. Some critics have pointed out that lithium-ion batteries are heavy and expensive, accounting for 33 percent of the cost of EV manufacture. However, Bloomberg reports that the price of these batteries is decreasing and predicts that EVs will be as affordable as vehicles powered by combustion engines by 2022 (http://nnw.fm/8iRER). As a result, demand for lithium and cobalt is skyrocketing, paving the way for companies in the industry to expand operations and increase production of the two minerals.

Standard Lithium, Gears Up to Service Global Demand 

Based in Vancouver, Canada, Standard Lithium Ltd. (OTCQX: STLHF) (TSX.V: SLL) (FRA: S5L) is focusing its efforts on developing existing large-scale lithium brine resources in the United States that can be brought quickly into production. To this end, the company is exploring and developing its California Lithium Project, which includes the Bristol Dry Lake and Cadiz Dry Lake lithium brine properties in the Mojave area of San Bernardino County in California. Standard Lithium has agreements in place with both of the regions permitted brine processor’s, National Chloride Corporation of America and TETRA Technologies.

Under the recently announced agreement with TETRA Technologies, Inc., Standard Lithium has increased the project scope to roughly 48,000 acres of mixed private, patented and placer claim land in the Bristol Dry Lake and Cadiz Dry Lake basins that allow for exclusive lithium brine exploration and processing. This agreement marked an extension of Bristol Dry Lake’s potential, and positioned Standard Lithium to fully leverage its working relationship with TETRA.

“Since day one we have recognized the bigger opportunity with respect to expanding the resource base and strengthening project economics at Bristol Dry Lake by securing the rights for lithium development over the entire basin.  By inking an agreement with TETRA, the only other permitted operator in the area, we have now effectively achieved that.  This is a significant and strategic move for Standard, but has only been made possible by the excellent relationships we have developed with the permitted brine operators in the region.  Gaining access to the adjacent Cadiz Dry Lake operating project is an additional benefit to our relationship with TETRA,” Standard Lithium CEO Robert Mintak noted in a press release announcing the deal (http://nnw.fm/4yD4U).

Part of the allure of the Bristol Dry Lake project in particular is that it is currently permitted for brine extraction and processing activities; has significant production infrastructure in place; and is serviced by major highways, power and a dedicated rail siding and loading spur.  Located 20 km (just under 12.5 miles) southeast of Bristol Dry Lake is the Cadiz Dry Lake Property, of which three initial grab samples of brine wells showed lithium concentrations in pumped brine ranging between 112-139 mg/L.

These concentrations from relatively shallow wells suggests that there is a potentially significant lithium brine deposit present in the Cadiz Dry Lake basin.  Our technical team is currently performing due-diligence on all available data for the Cadiz Dry Lake basin and will be laying out a plan for new data collection over the coming months.  Additional investigation of TETRA’s properties in both Bristol Dry Lake and Cadiz Dry Lake will be performed concurrently with our existing resource definition program, and as such, we should be able to significantly expand our resource base as we move towards producing maiden lithium resource estimates for the Mojave projects,” Standard Lithium president and COO Dr. Andy Robinson.

In a development updated issued in December 2017, Standard Lithium reported that six new separate evaporation ponds were installed on the Bristol Dry Lake Property, allowing the company to further assess the potential role of short-duration passive solar evaporation in processing the lithium brines encountered at the project.

Following previous work showing the possibility to concentrate brines from initial lithium concentrations of 146 mg/L to concentrations of 686 mg/L in roughly seven weeks, Standard Lithium is conducting additional evaporation tests to assess season variations and produce large volumes of pre-concentrated brine that will be shipped to the company’s North American testing facilities for use in ongoing selective lithium extraction processing work. A bulk raw-brine sample from the Cadiz Dry Lake project will also be transported to the evaporation ponds to assess the pre-concentration of lithium brine from the project.

With official approval of the lithium brine sampling program at Bristol Dry Lake, Standard Lithium said it expects the development will be finished by the end of January.

The company’s other significant project is its Smackover Lithium Brine Project. As announced earlier this week, Standard Lithium furthered its existing partnership with TETRA with an option agreement to acquire the rights to conduct exploration, production and lithium extraction activities in a highly productive area of Southern Arkansas’ Smackover Formation.

According to the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission, Arkansas produces on average more than 9 billion gallons of brine per year, mostly from the Smackover Formation. Standard Lithium’s brine leases, which covers an area of up to 33,000 acres of brine leases. have extensive resource potential, with well-studied and documented geology and hydrogeology. According to the company, this makes the Smackover deposit one of the most promising in the lithium industry, which has the benefit of existing regional large-scale brine extraction, processing and brine re-injection facilities. Historical data from Standard Lithium’s lease area indicates lithium content of 370-424 mg/L in these brines.

“The Company chose the Smackover Formation as a key development target, precisely because it combines a very large resource potential, with well-studied and documented geology and hydrogeology, along with a permitting regime that has a long history of approving operations that remove, process and re-inject massive volumes of brine.  Combined with a wealth of existing infrastructure in the project area (power, rail, gas, water, trained workforce, cheap reagents etc.), this makes Standard Lithium’s new opportunity in Southern Arkansas the perfect location to locate a modern lithium brine processing operation.  Due to the wealth of already-available data from our new project area, we can start the process of compiling a maiden resource estimate for this large lease package extremely quickly, with a minimum of additional intrusive investigation,” president and Chief Operating Officer Dr. Andy Robinson stated in the press release announcing the option agreement (http://nnw.fm/q1Pw8).

As Standard Lithium expands its project portfolio, management continues to invest in the company itself with the inclusion of industry professionals to its team.

In November 2017, Standard Lithium named Craig J. Brown, P. Eng. and a qualified Chemical Engineer, to its Scientific Advisory Council, as well as announced that that John E. Young, P. Eng. would join the company as senior corporate development officer.

Brown is widely respected as a hydrometallurgical expert and played a central role in the development of ion exchange technology. He has more than 45 years of experience in developing processes for the separation of a wide range of chemicals from aqueous solutions. The company intends to utilize Brown’s expertise in selective ion-exchange and hydrometallurgical technologies to improve its lithium extraction processes. Standard Lithium also announced that it had begun test work on a new lithium-selective Ion Exchange resin that has been in development for some years by one of the largest suppliers of these resins in the world. This shows the company’s commitment to expand its testing program to include cutting-edge technology in its drive to develop optimal process solutions for its lithium brine projects.

Young’s mandate will be to head up the company’s acquisition and development activities, while expanding and managing strategic partnerships and alliances, focusing on the southern U.S. region. He has more than 35 years of experience in reservoir engineering, economic evaluation, project development and property acquisition. As a registered professional engineer, Young holds a degree in petroleum engineering, as well as membership of the Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers. Previously, he held the position of director of business development for Legacy Reserves, LP.

$DJACF Canada Seen as Safe Haven for Cannabis Investors After U.S. AG Rescind

January 11, 2018

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: For the North American cannabis industry, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision (http://nnw.fm/7hbPL) to remove the protections to cannabis operations provided by the Cole Memo has created an environment of frustrating challenges, albeit one coupled with immense opportunity for neighbors in the north. While the AG’s broadside has increased uncertainty in the U.S. cannabis sector, federal authorities in Canada have taken a completely different tack. With legalized medicinal cannabis use already in the books, Canada’s impending Cannabis Act will allow adults to possess and access regulated, quality-controlled, legal cannabis, effective July 1, 2018. These shifting tides continue to increase interest in Canadian cannabis companies like DOJA Cannabis Company Ltd. (CSE: DOJA) (OTC: DJACF) (DOJA Profile), Aurora Cannabis, Inc. (OTC: ACBFF) (TSE: ACB), Hydropothecary Corp. (OTC: HYYDF) (TSVX: THCX), OrganiGram Holding, Inc. (OTCQB: OGRMF) (TSXV: OGI) and WeedMD Rx, Inc. (OTC: WDDMF) (TSXV: WMD).

The decision by Sessions will remove the safe harbor provided to the industry since 2013 by the Cole Memo, which promised to avoid federal interference with state laws if compliance with certain conditions were in place. Among other stipulations, these included safeguarding public health, particularly from the risk of impaired driving, and preventing the distribution of marijuana to minors and to states where it remains illegal.

Now under his indictment that the Cole Memo “undermines the rule of law,” the AG has left a controversial wake that frustrates the laws of the 30 U.S. jurisdictions that currently permit the use of cannabis for either medical or recreational purposes.

Despite the disheartening developments in the U.S., the cannabis industry in Canada appears headed for comprehensive liberalization and regulation of cannabis. The Canadian government has committed to bringing the proposed Cannabis Act into force this summer, allowing adults to legally possess, grow and purchase cannabis with restrictions (http://nnw.fm/FSz7L). The Act would also allow individuals 18 years of age or older to have up to 30 grams of dried cannabis or its equivalent in their possession when in public. Unlike in the U.S., federal and local legislation are framed to work in harmony, with provincial governments being able to set an additional layer of regulation over federal law if they so desire.

In Canada’s rapidly growing cannabis industry, DOJA Cannabis Company Ltd. (CSE: DOJA) (OTC: DJACF) is poised to become the preeminent craft cannabis brand house in the Canadian adult-use cannabis market.

On December 21, 2017, DOJA disclosed it had signed a ​​binding ​​Letter ​​of ​​Intent to acquire Tokyo Smoke (http://nnw.fm/UoY1c), an award-winning Canadian café company dubbed ‘the Starbucks of Cannabis’ (http://nnw.fm/0UOla). Under the terms of the agreement, DOJA will ​​acquire ​​​​all ​​of ​​the ​​issued and ​​outstanding ​​shares ​​of Tokyo Smoke, creating an emerging company with the proposed name, ​​Hiku ​​Brands ​​Company ​​Ltd.

Tokyo Smoke, recently ​​named ​​Brand ​​of ​​the ​​Year at ​​the ​​Canadian ​​Cannabis ​​Awards, is a lifestyle label that blends elements of cannabis culture with Japanese influences. The company has six brick-and-mortar cafes in Toronto and Calgary, which offer coffee, tea, juice and snacks along with a variety of cannabis accessories.

The DOJA merger with Tokyo Smoke is bolstered by funding from Aphria, ​​Inc. ​​​ (OTCQB: APHQF), (TSX: APH), ​which will inject C$10 million in equity into the combined company and Aphria will also enter into a supply agreement for cannabis concentrates with Hiku. Aphria, ​​recognized as one ​​of ​​Canada’s ​​lowest ​​cost ​​producers, is the first medical cannabis producer licensed under Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR) to report positive cash flow and positive earnings from operations in consecutive quarters. Aphria recently announced (http://nnw.fm/j3OJn) receipt of a Dealer’s License pursuant to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act under Health Canada, which authorizes it to possess, sell and transport medical cannabis oil and resin to international markets. The news has pushed Aphria’s stock up over C$22 per share with a market cap of nearly C$3.5 billion.

Aphria’s investment in Hiku gives them a stake in British ​​Columbia’s ​​premium ​​cannabis ​​market, though Aphria’s financial interest will go beyond being a passive investment. In what ​​is ​​expected ​​to ​​be ​​a ​​supply-constrained ​​market ​​at ​​the ​​onset ​​of legalization, Hiku’s agreement with Aphria will increase Hiku’s accessibility to product (http://nnw.fm/7ZUDo).

The DOJA-Tokyo Smoke deal has the potential to create a highly differentiated ​​Canadian ​​craft ​​cannabis label ​​that has ​​significant ​​national ​​retail ​​presence ​​and ​​a ​​growing ​​portfolio ​​of ​​premium ​​cannabis lifestyle ​​brands ​​including ​​DOJA, ​​Tokyo ​​Smoke, ​​and ​​Van ​​der ​​Pop. The combined entity, Hiku, ​​will ​​have seven ​​operational, ​​legal ​​cannabis ​​accessory ​​stores ​​in Alberta, ​​ ​​British ​​Columbia, and Ontario, ​​representing ​​an ​​unrivaled ​​platform ​​to ​​build ​​brand ​​awareness and ​​reach ​​consumers and will prioritize ​​retail ​​expansion ​​in ​​provinces ​​allowing ​​private ​​cannabis retail. Post-merger, ​​Hiku ​​is ​​expected ​​to ​​have ​​a ​​cash balance ​​of ​​approximately C​​$31 ​​million, which ​​the ​​company ​​plans ​​to ​​invest ​​in ​​scaling ​​up ​​production ​​capacity, expanding ​​its ​​retail and global ​​footprints, ​​and ​​further ​​build-out ​​of its ​​portfolio ​​of ​​cannabis ​​brands.

​​DOJA ​​also operates ​​a ​​cannabis ​​production ​​facility ​​in ​​British ​​Columbia’s ​​Okanagan ​​Valley. The company is ​​now ​​building a ​​new ​​production ​​facility, ​​FUTURE ​​LAB, to ​​be ​​located ​​in ​​Kelowna, British Columbia, which will ​​support ​​production ​​capacity ​​in ​​excess ​​of ​​5,000 ​​kg ​​per ​​year. ​​DOJA ​​also ​​operates ​​the ​​Culture Café, ​​​​located ​​on ​​Kelowna’s ​​busiest ​​street, which serves as ​​a ​​cannabis ​​information ​​center ​​that ​​generates brand ​​awareness. Late last year, DOJA announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Northern Lights Marijuana Company, a licensed cannabis producer under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (ACMPR), had successfully completed its initial cannabis harvests and had requested a Pre-Sales License Inspection from Health Canada (http://nnw.fm/6KF4o). The Pre-Sales License Inspection is the last step prior to the issuance of a Sales License under the ACMPR.

DOJA (the name is slang for cannabis) has emerged as a producer of high-quality product, supported by grow rooms equipped with equipment from Surna Inc., cultivation experts and agricultural engineers, and fitted with ductless air handlers, commercial-grade dehumidifiers, in addition to bio-security products using photo-catalytic reaction that sanitizes the air and minimizes breakouts of pests, pathogens and mold.

Trading at C$3.50 on the Canadian Securities Exchange with a market cap of C$214 million, DOJA is pacing its potential alongside some of the industry’s leading players.

Aurora Cannabis (OTC: ACBFF) (TSE: ACB), the only licensed producer (LP) located in Alberta, is also taking steps to capture its share of Canada’s increasingly ripe cannabis industry. Aurora kicked-off 2018 with news it plans to buy a 17.6 percent stake in privately held marijuana grower Green Organic Dutchman Holdings for C$55 million (USD 44 million) (http://nnw.fm/4Wc1N). The deal gives Aurora the rights to buy up to 20 percent, or more than 20,000 kilograms of Ontario-based Green Organic Dutchman’s annual production of cannabis at full capacity. And it allows Aurora to purchase up to 33 percent if Aurora increases its ownership to 31 percent. Aurora has also announced a deal with Danish tomato and pepper producer Alfred Pedersen & Son to produce and sell cannabis in Europe (http://nnw.fm/G2Fm6).

Eastward in Quebec, Hydropothecary (OTC: HYYDF) (TSVX: THCX) is planning to expand production 30-fold from 3,600 kg to 108,000 kg per annum, according to the company’s website (http://nnw.fm/5tPbM). Economies of scale and Quebec’s low utility rates have made Hydropothecary possibly one of the lowest cost producers in Canada.

In New Brunswick, OrganiGram Holding (OTCQB: OGRMF) (TSXV: OGI) announced the closing of its C$57.5 Bought Deal financing during December 2017 (http://nnw.fm/TaMh8). Around the same time, the company provided an update on how the construction of its facilities is proceeding (http://nnw.fm/3HEsN). About 80 percent of the net proceeds of the financing will fund the construction of an additional 255,000 square feet of production space at the Moncton campus. The company has also signed an MOU with New Brunswick provincial authorities to provide a minimum of 5 million grams yearly to the adult recreational market, a deal valued at between C$40 million and C$60 million.

Ontario-based WeedMD Rx (OTC: WDDMF) (TSXV: WMD) is also raising funds. In December 2017, the company entered into a letter of engagement for bought deal equity financing of $15 million. WeedMD intends to use the net proceeds of the funding for working capital, general corporate purposes and to position itself to expand production capacity within its recently announced existing 14-acre greenhouse. WeedMD is the publicly traded parent company of WeedMD Rx Inc., a federally licensed producer and distributor of medical cannabis. The company operates a 26,000-square-foot indoor facility in Aylmer, Ontario, and is awaiting its second-site cultivation license for a greenhouse in Strathroy, Ontario, representing 610,000 square feet, or 14 acres under glass.

While cannabis companies in the U.S. mull through Sessions’ recent decision regarding the Cole Memo and what it means for their operations, Canadian cannabis companies are stretching their legs to prepare for a significant boost in product demand and subsequent opportunity in market share.

$VSQTF Science-driven Blockchain Technology Set to Disrupt the Future

January 11, 2018

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The global blockchain technology market is expected to surge to $20 billion by the end of 2024 (http://nnw.fm/L0fW9), according to Transparency Market Research. The overall market is expected to exhibit a compound annual growth rate of 58.7 percent between 2016 and 2024, with the Asia Pacific region showing the most robust growth rate at 61.3 percent CAGR during the same time period. Momentum continues to build as blockchain technology becomes more well-known and proves its worth in both financial and non-financial sectors. Forward-thinking companies like Victory Square Technologies, Inc. (CSE: VST) (OTC: VSQTF) (FWB:6F6) (VSQTF Profile), Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE.V), Long Blockchain Corp. (NASDAQ: LBCC), Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBOE) and CME Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CME) are all visualizing blockchain technology as a portal into a profitable future.

Blockchain Benefits

Blockchains are digitized, encrypted, secure ledgers providing a decentralized database of financial transactions for a wide array of industries from cryptocurrencies – think Bitcoin and Ethereum – to global manufacturing and supply chains, logistics management, medical records, international payments, smart contracts and legal agreements. Notably, blockchain technology provides end-to-end encryption and privacy, virtually removing the risk of a single point of failure and assuring cybersecurity needs are being met (http://nnw.fm/NE5uc). In fact, demand for the technology is growing so rapidly that it’s expected to consume the majority of capacity at about 60 data centers that International Business Machines rents out to other companies (http://nnw.fm/W1K0m). IBM is already encouraging startups to try blockchain technology by using the company’s cloud storage for free.

Strategic Investments

About three years ago, Victory Square Technologies, Inc. (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FWB:6F6), a blockchain technology-focused venture builder, incubated and invested in BTL Group, which is now a $250 million TSX-listed company providing blockchain solutions to a wide variety of industries. BTL’s showcase product – Interbit – is a blockchain platform that facilitates the rapid development of business applications that dramatically improve efficiency. BTL Group co-founder Guy Halford-Thompson was recently appointed as the company’s strategic advisor (http://nnw.fm/YBty9) and will advise Victory Square’s portfolio companies, including VS Blockchain Assembly and FansUnite Media Inc. Victory Square’s recent introduction of VS Blockchain Assembly Inc., which was developed to deliver blockchain and crypto advisory services to its portfolio companies, illustrates the company’s commitment to this “once-in-a-generation” market opportunity (http://nnw.fm/7lvQv).

“Blockchain Assembly will act as a services firm providing guidance on technology architecture and development, and will facilitate banking, legal and commercialization services,” said Shafin Diamond Tejani, chief executive officer of Victory Square. “…Blockchain Assembly assists these companies with their fundraising objectives, whether they pursue capital through token generation events, private funding, or raising money through the public markets. We are using our expertise at company building to identify, incubate, advise and invest in the best blockchain entrepreneurs, helping build the tech titans of the next century.”

The addition of blockchain and cryptocurrency pioneer Pavel Bains, CEO of Bluzelle Platform Pte. Ltd., as Victory Square’s newest strategic advisor underscores the company’s dedication to supporting entrepreneurial dreamers (http://nnw.fm/uOhK7).

“Victory Square exists to enable the next generation of entrepreneurs to experiment, iterate and reinvent both themselves and their businesses to provide innovative solutions to problems with a global reach,” Tejani, stated in the news release. “Pavel is an exemplary individual who has a wealth of experience to impart on other entrepreneurs and we look forward to having him help shape the trajectory of many of the companies in our blockchain portfolio.”

Powerful Potential

The power of blockchain technology is very real and, according to numerous industry reports, it would be folly for businesses to ignore the technology’s disruptive potential (http://nnw.fm/rYNS0). Demand for the technology is growing and Victory Square, set to attend and engage over 1,500 major stakeholders in the North American Bitcoin Conference January 18-19 in Florida, will be sponsoring a $100,000 investment prize pool for the top three blockchain companies during the “Pitch Your ICO” session (http://nnw.fm/7EWUd).

Organized by Keynote Events, the conference will cover a wide array of topics relevant to blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, ICOs, regulations and more. At the September 2017 Keynote event held in London, Victory Square’s portfolio company FansUnite Media Inc., presented and took home second place for its new sports betting platform using blockchain technology.

“We’re extremely excited to be playing such a prominent role at the North American Bitcoin Conference,” Tejani said. “It is the premier conference for blockchain and cryptocurrency and we’re looking forward to using the opportunity to engage with some of the most promising startups and respected blockchain thought-leaders in the world.”

Harnessing the Power

Billions of people now connected to each other via the internet are also vulnerable to security risks, as numerous media reports attest, pointing to compromised Yahoo accounts, defective microchips in popular computers and mobile devices, state-sponsored Russian hackers, malware, and so on (http://nnw.fm/U5yd4). But blockchain technology has many potential applications that experts in the field believe can solve many of these threats. Among its powerful applications is the ability to hold more documents and data than traditional stage units, making it one of the “bright sectors” in technology, said Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies Associates Inc. Sales growth in cloud services, databases and services will jump by 35 percent, according to Susan Eustis, chief executive officer of WinterGreen Research (http://nnw.fm/OF3q9), pushing more large companies to use the cloud than their own data centers.

Potential Comparables

Hive Blockchain Technologies (TSXV: HIVE.V) manages a cryptocurrency mining operation. The company focuses on building a bridge from the blockchain sector to traditional capital markets through its acquisition of Genesis Mining Ltd., the world’s largest Bitcoin mining company. Hive also has the option to acquire four additional data centers from Genesis in Iceland and Sweden. The company will leverage Genesis’ infrastructure design and software to identify and manage new cryptocurrencies as they become profitable to mine. Mining relies on energy efficiency to make it profitable and Iceland provides abundant and cheap electricity from renewable resources. Geographically, it also provides a fast, reliable internet connection and gateway between North America and Europe.

Long Blockchain (NASDAQ: LBCC), which received approval January 5, 2018, to change its company stock trading ticker symbol to LBCC from LTEA (Long Island Iced Tea Corp.), has entered into an agreement to acquire 1,000 Bitcoin mining machines (http://nnw.fm/t1mY2). The company’s new website states it is dedicated to becoming a significant blockchain business that creates long term value for its shareholders and the wider community by investing in and developing businesses that are “on-chain.” The strategic shift in focus will pivot the business to pursue opportunities in an evolving industry, a press release states (http://nnw.fm/1NTvL).

Headquartered in Chicago, Cboe Global Markets (NASDAQ: CBOE), one of the world’s largest exchange holding companies, debuted its Cboe Bitcoin futures (XBT) market December 10, 2017, with about 20 trading firms actively participating (http://nnw.fm/9rcQQ). Over the past five years, the total value of all Bitcoin outstanding (market capitalization) has grown from less than $1 billion to over $262 billion, with the total value of all cryptocurrency tokens outstanding now at approximately $423.7 billion, according to Cboe Global Markets.

Also based in Chicago, CME Group (NASDAQ: CME) operates derivative exchanges in the United States and Europe. Through its exchanges, CME Group offers the widest range of global benchmark products across all major asset classes, including futures and options based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural products and metals. In October 2017, CME Group announced it would launch Bitcoin futures in the fourth quarter of 2017. CME Group chairman and chief executive officer Terry Duffy said the decision to introduce a Bitcoin futures contract was based on the increasing interest from clients in the evolving cryptocurrency markets (http://nnw.fm/Tld2B).

A Revolution in the Making

Blockchain technology not only is transforming the way financial firms conduct business, it is promising to revolutionize nearly aspect of society. The science at the heart of blockchain technology lets the individual and massive corporations alike not only imagine a safer, more profitable future, but experience a less stressful experience today when it comes to managing digital transactions. Instead of struggling with intermediaries and the possibility of exponentially greater errors cropping up along the algorithm being utilized to conduct business, blockchain technology connects each transaction, process, and task with its own digitized, secure record that is easily identified, stored and shared between the parties involved. It’s a game changer and one that companies like Victory Square Technologies are facing head-on.

$STLHF Trump’s Recent Executive Order Could Boost Lithium Supply in the U.S.

January 10, 2018

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: A recent report released by the U.S. government has identified as many as 23 minerals that are “critical to the national economy and national security” of the nation. Immediately following the report, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to urgently reduce foreign dependence on these minerals and ramp up domestic production. One critical metal of heavy emphasis on the list is lithium, which the U.S. is currently importing 50% from abroad. This presents an unprecedented opportunity for a country that has so much undeveloped lithium reserves but previously chose to mostly bypass domestic mining in favor of imports. This executive order now changes everything, and with the global demand for lithium used in electric car batteries rising at an unstoppable pace, the global lithium supply landscape is set for a shakeup. Companies poised to lead in the supply of lithium include Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSX.V: SLL) (FRA: S5L) (OTCQX: STLHF) (STLHF Profile), Liberty One Lithium Corp. (TSX.V: LBY) (OTCQB: LRTTF) (FRANKFURT: L1T), Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), Lithium X Energy Corp.  (TSX.V: LIX) (OTC: LIXXF) and Nemaska Lithium Inc. (TSX: NMX) (OTCQX: NMKEF) (FRANKFURT: N0T).

The world is moving fast towards “electrification” of the auto industry to reduce global emissions and pollution. For this, lithium has become a hot commodity for its role as a key ingredient in electric vehicle batteries. The global EV revolution, first started by Tesla, is now getting bigger and more influential than ever. Carmakers like General Motors and Volvo have pledged to end production of gas-powered vehicles altogether in the future (http://nnw.fm/HuFx7). Volkswagen is even willing to thrust $40 billion into EV development by 2022, just to name a few.

This means lithium is going to keep its status as an in-demand critical commodity for a while.  According to data from Global Market Insights, Inc., the worldwide market for Li-ion batteries alone is set to exceed USD $60 billion by the year 2024 (http://nnw.fm/Y84e0). It is estimated that one lithium mine needs to be brought on line each year through 2025 to meet its fast-growing demand. With Trump’s new executive order in effect, the next lithium mine could well be in the U.S.

While U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data reveal that continuing exploration has increased global lithium resources worldwide (http://nnw.fm/CRs1v), lithium producers will have their hands full in meeting rampant demand. Lithium companies like Standard Lithium Ltd. (TSX.V: SLL) (FRA: S5L) (OTCQX: STLHF) are wasting no time to get operations in order to potentially cash in on this EV-driven lithium boom and embrace the U.S. government’s new policy to expand lithium production.

Based in Vancouver, B.C., Standard Lithium stands out as a premier lithium developer focused on the production of high-quality lithium at a low cost. The company is engaged in unlocking the value of large-scale lithium brine resources that are already in existence in the United States and can be quickly brought into production.

Standard Lithium’s approach is based on its stance that new lithium production can be rapidly brought on stream through minimizing project and process risks and through leveraging advances in lithium extraction technologies and processes.

Exploration and Development

Standard Lithium recently announced the expansion of the lithium brine project at its Bristol Dry Lake property in California’s Mojave Desert, where six new evaporation ponds have been installed (http://nnw.fm/9LBwK). The company is taking advantage of record-high evaporation rates in this region to pre-concentrate brines produced from the project, which will then be shipped to its testing and processing facilities at three North American campuses.

Standard Lithium is also in the midst of drilling work at its Bristol Dry Lake property and has completed four exploration boreholes, with two more planned. Preliminary results have equaled and exceeded historic data, and full QA and QC results are scheduled to be released during the first half of 2018.

The Bristol Dry Lake project encompasses an area spanning more than 33,000 acres, including both patented and placer mineral claims and private property. Geophysical data that was recently acquired indicates the basin is deep and expansive, and historical drill samples have shown lithium contents of more than 100mg/l over the drilled interval. Bristol Dry Lake is an established mining area with world-class infrastructure at the project as well as paved road and rail access and water and electricity.

Standard Lithium has forged agreements with National Chloride Corporation of America and TETRA Technologies (NYSE: TTI), two of the established brine producers in this region, to explore and develop the area for potential lithium production. Under the agreements, the company can conduct exploration, brine sampling, extraction, evaporation and process testing.

In order to advance the project, Standard Lithium has amassed a strong team of scientists and process engineers who are applying a hybrid approach that utilizes both conventional and modern extraction processes.

The company has additionally entered into an agreement to explore highly promising brines covering an area of about 30,000 acres in the Smackover Formation, which extends across Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. This presents a low-risk investment with promising potential returns in a region with well-understood geology that further has a lengthy history of brine production and infrastructure for profitable mineral extraction. In historical analysis of the Arkansas Smackover Formation, a lithium content of 365mg/l was shown.

Potential Industry Comparables

Another Canada-based player looking to help meet the growing global lithium demand is Liberty One Lithium Corp. (TSX.V: LBY) (OTCQB: LRTTF) (FRANKFURT: L1T). Headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., Liberty One currently has plans underway to examine a short list of prospective lithium properties in Latin American and the continental U.S. during Q1 of 2018. The company also recently announced plans to commence an evaluation of its North Paradox property during 2018. Liberty One’s North Paradox property consists of 233 placer claims encompassing 4,480 acres in the Paradox Basin of Grand County, Utah. Liberty One seeks out regions that are ideally situated for lithium brine production via low-cost and well-proven evaporation methods and which are adjacent to functional infrastructure and an experienced labor force.

One of the biggest producers of lithium raw material in the world is Albemarle (NYSE: ALB), which is based in Charlotte, NC, and is a global market leader for lithium compounds. In Q3 2017, Albemarle logged net sales of $343.6 million for lithium and advanced materials, representing a year-over-year increase of 42.9 percent. This is clear evidence of the potential for lithium producers to profit hugely in the face of increasing prices and demand.

Growing global interest in lithium’s rising star is also evidenced in recent acquisition activity. Lithium exploration and development company Lithium X Energy (TSX.V: LIX) (OTC: LIXXF) recently entered into a definitive agreement with Nextview New Energy Lion Hong Kong Limited, through which Nextview will acquire all of Lithium X’s issued and outstanding common shares and warrants. Lithium X has two lithium projects in the prolific “Lithium Triangle” in the Salta province of Argentina and also has ownership interest in Pure Energy Metals, which is developing a lithium project in Nevada.

Another Canada-based player that is specifically focused on serving as a supplier for the lithium battery market is Nemaska Lithium (TSX: NMX) (OTCQX: NMKEF) (FRANKFURT: N0T). Nemaska Lithium is developing a key spodumene lithium hard rock deposit in Quebec, Canada, that is being touted as one of the most important spodumene lithium hard rock deposits in the world, both in terms of volume and grade. The spodumene concentrate that is produced at the company’s Whabouchi mine will be shipped to Nemaska Lithium’s lithium compounds processing plant, which is planned to be built in Shawinigan, Quebec. This facility will transform spodumene concentrate into high-purity lithium hydroxide and carbonate using the company’s proprietary methods, for which Nemaska Lithium holds nine issued patents and various patent applications that are pending in different countries.

The growing value and importance of the lithium market are clear, and companies like those named are primed for profitability as EV dominance blazes forward and lithium demand increases to keep pace. Li-ion manufacturers and end-users of Li-ion batteries, including car manufacturers, are increasingly motivated to ink multiyear deals with lithium producers to spur them to greater and faster investment and production. While the earth’s supply of lithium is plentiful, processing capacity remains an issue—which will continue to spell motivation for end users and profit for lithium producers.

$VSQTF Blockchain Technology Transforming Future of Transaction Management

January 10, 2018

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt many industries in the future by changing the way companies process business transactions. Originally developed to facilitate the exchange of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, blockchain will provide access to financial services for people all over the globe, especially those who don’t have access to traditional banking. Future Thinkers outlines several industries that are likely to benefit from blockchain technology for their business transactions (http://nnw.fm/MjaO8), including supply chain management, forecasting, the Internet of Things (IoT), insurance, ride sharing, cloud storage, voting, government services, energy management, online retail, real estate and healthcare. Businesses in these industries will adapt their processes to accommodate the number of people concluding transactions online, which is growing exponentially. Victory Square Technologies, Inc. (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FWB:6F6) (VSQTF Profile) is one of the leading companies taking advantage of the growth potential of blockchain technology by investing in and incubating entrepreneurial ventures in this sector. Other companies investing in business opportunities in online payment and blockchain technologies include Net Element, Inc. (NASDAQ: NETE) (NETE Profile), Riot Blockchain, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT), Longfin Corp. (NASDAQ: LFIN) and Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK).

Victory Square Technologies, Inc. (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FWB:6F6) incubates and invests in entrepreneurs to create partnerships and joint ventures in various fields, including blockchain technology, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, personalized health, gaming and film. The company’s business model enables these entrepreneurs to access its creative workspaces, education programs, distribution partners and global mentorship networks. It also offers operational support to help these emerging companies scale their operations internationally.

Though most people are now familiar with blockchain, Victory Square’s involvement in the technology started before it went “mainstream.” Over three years ago, the company invested in the BTL Group (BTL:CC) (OTC: BTLLF), using its business model to grow the company to a $215 million organization recognized as the first public blockchain technology company. BTL’s core product is called Interbit, a blockchain platform used by some of the world’s largest companies and institutions to explore new business opportunities using private blockchains. BTL has developed blockchain solutions for companies in the energy, finance and gaming sectors.

As it continues to gain traction and pace alongside broader market growth, Victory Square is enhancing its networking efforts and exposure within the blockchain realm. The company recently partnered with the North American Bitcoin Conference, a part of the World Blockchain Forum, which will allow the company to be among the presenters at a major conference in Miami on January 18-19 (http://nnw.fm/0at7R). Organized by Keynote Events, the conference will be attended by more than 1,500 leading shareholders in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors and will cover a wide range of related topics such as blockchain, bitcoin and Ethereum, regulations in the field, initial coin offerings and more. The partnership will allow Victory Square the opportunity “to engage with some of the most promising startups and respected blockchain thought-leaders in the world,” according to CEO Shafin Diamond Tejani. A focal point for the company will be participation in the “Pitch Your ICO” sessions, where over 30 leading blockchain companies will present to some of the most notable investors in the industry.

On the topic of ICOs (initial coin offerings), Victory Square has its hand in the game with plans to purchase $500,000 of cryptocurrency tokens in Bluzelle Platform Pte. Ltd.’s token sale (http://nnw.fm/8lSb8) coming up later this month.  Bluzelle is a leading decentralized database service recognized as a “technology pioneer” by the World Economic Forum. Backed by experience building enterprise-grade blockchain technology for reputable businesses such as KPMG, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), HSBC (NYSE: HSBC) and others, Bluzelle is poised to gain considerable traction at its ICO. As an early contributor to the ICO, Victory Square is privy to an additional 25 percent of bonus Bluzelle tokens.

Another recent endeavor is Victory Square’s interest in the game-changing role of blockchain technology in the creation of a global decentralized Internet via software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN). The company has signed a letter of intent to acquire a 20 percent stake in SD-WAN company Multapplied Networks Inc. (http://nnw.fm/Rq3a2) – an organization focused on supporting service providers to incorporate SD-WAN technology into their existing services to develop a decentralized Internet. Multapplied Networks is already serving a considerable portfolio of global partners across North America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.

A promising industry with regard to blockchain implementation for secure transactions is the fast-growing sports betting industry – another sector Victory Square is already exploring. The global online gambling market is expected to reach $59.79 billion in 2020 from $37.91 billion in 2017, according to Statista. Of this, the esports segment is responsible for over $696 million in revenue for 2017, a figure expected to increase to $1.5 billion by 2020, according to a Newzoo report (http://nnw.fm/X1llW). While traditional payment services such as digital wallets and banks have been typically wary of supporting the online gambling sector, blockchain technology has the potential to significantly transform the industry by enabling easier payments, a more transparent betting process and overall more positive experiences for the users.

Recognizing the market opportunity within this burgeoning sector, Victory Square’s FansUnite Media Inc. subsidiary has already integrated blockchain technology into its development of a social sports betting platform that enables community members to collaborate, discuss and predict the winners of sporting events using free virtual currency. FansUnite recently introduced FAN tokens for gaming, purchased with cryptocurrency to enable consumers to place bets and earn more tokens by participating in the company’s Bounty program. FansUnite co-founder and CEO Darius Eghdami has expressed confidence that its dynamic and responsive betting platform will enable the company to develop into the gold standard for sports betting sites worldwide.

The success of this blockchain application has encouraged Victory Square to incorporate this technology in its other subsidiaries and divisions. On December 11, 2017, Victory Square announced that its subsidiary, VS Blockchain Assembly Inc., has been developed to provide blockchain and cryptographic services to the other enterprises within its portfolio (http://nnw.fm/7lvQv). It will provide guidance on blockchain technology architecture and development, and facilitate banking, legal and commercialization services. Blockchain Assembly will also assist these companies to raise capital, either through private funding, public markets or token generation events.

Victory Square’s investment strategy also includes a range of endeavors that demonstrate its expertise outside blockchain technology.  Victory Square Health Inc., which focuses on developing solutions in personalized health technologies. Victory Square Health has in turn invested in Personalized Biomarkers Inc. (“PBI”), a company that develops test kits to predict the response to therapies prior to prescription. PBI is initially focusing on diabetes, identifying five potential biomarkers and enabling the company to enter a $4 billion market opportunity. In partnership with Insight Diagnostics Inc., Victory Square Health is developing a personalized diagnostic solution for the prevention and management of Type II diabetes.

Victory Square has also been instrumental in the incubation of V2 Games, a studio for the development and publishing of high-quality mobile games. V2 Games is best known for its launch of PAC-MAN Bounce and Beast Brawlers, which has resulted in millions of downloads globally.

Victory Square CEO Tejani has stated his confidence that all these companies within its portfolio will have an influential role to play in the evolution and growth of the company to maximize returns for its investors.

A player new to blockchain but well-versed in payment innovations is Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE), a technology-driven company that specializes in mobile payments and value-added transactional services. It owns Unified Payments, a provider of bankcard payment processing services and value-added solutions in the U.S., as well as owns Aptito, a next generation cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) payments platform, and Restoactive, a digital add-on for POS legacy systems. The company’s stable also includes Payonline, a fully integrated, processor agnostic ecommerce platform. On December 20, 2017, Net Element recently announced that it is launching a blockchain-focused business unit to develop a cryptocurrency-based ecosystem to enable merchants to connect with consumers (http://nnw.fm/0lB6b). This announcement resulted in its shares rocketing more than four-fold to a 16-month high.

Riot Blockchain (NASDAQ: RIOT) targets investments in blockchain technology by identifying unique projects in decentralized markets, with its primary focus on the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. The company’s portfolio includes Verady, which provides cryptocurrency accounting and audit technology services through VeraNet. This application enables companies and individuals to account, audit and report on blockchain assets, while providing a bridge between cryptocurrencies and traditional financial accounting. Riot Blockchain also owns Coinsquare, a leading Canadian digital currency exchange, which provides a user-friendly, secure, cost-efficient and trustworthy way to purchase digital assets. Tesspay also falls within Riot Blockchain’s portfolio, and plans to develop a blockchain-based escrow service for wholesale telecom carriers. The company has also launched a Bitcoin mining operation.

A U.S.-based financial technology company, Longfin (NASDAQ: LFIN), provides finance and foreign exchange hedging solutions for importers, exporters and SMEs worldwide. The company uses blockchain technology to enable trade finance solutions globally for SMEs, manufacturers, processors, importers and exporters using cryptocurrencies. It also provides financing for companies and lower credit rated banks using insurance wrap. Longfin’s vision is to securitize and finance carry trade and asset backed solutions for companies, while aiming to connect with 70 forex and spot exchanges, and over 300 banks across the world. On December 18, 2017, Longfin stock rose almost five-fold on the news that it had bought Ziddu, a blockchain technology provider for micro lending, warehouse finance, trade finance, bullion trading and real-time derivative settlements.

Another company long in support of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology is Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK). Overstock founder Patrick Byrne recently announced the company’s Medici Ventures has signed a memorandum of understanding to create DeSoto, a company built to work on blockchain. According to a December 27, 2017, the goal of the new company is to develop a blockchain-based system to develop a global property registry system focused on the property rights of people in the developing world. Overstock’s portfolio company “Bitt” also recently launched its new mMoney digital payment product in Barbados. Under the mMoney brand, Bitt is bringing a blockchain-based mobile wallet that allows users to participate in digital transactions on their smart phones from a secure account, a company press release states (http://nnw.fm/3nnAW).

Blockchain technology has generated a large amount of interest and excitement in many industrial sectors for its potential to facilitate faster and more secure business transactions. These companies are some of the leading enterprises well-positioned to capitalize on the future development and adoption of this technology.

$DJACF 2018 Could be a Breakout Year for Cannabis Companies

NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Entering a new year is exciting, especially when the future holds the promise of expanding marketplaces and business opportunities. From growers and processors to the essential support services and an increasing number of retailers, cannabis companies are looking at 2018 as a breakout year for unprecedented growth. California’s launch of legal marijuana for adult recreational use kicked off January 1, and Canada is set to follow the same path in July 2018. An article in Newsweek reveals at least 12 states are poised to consider legalizing some form of marijuana in 2018 (http://nnw.fm/1ETMq), marking the latest in a quick volley of changes being implemented by lawmakers and the public as more than 60 percent of Americans say they support legalization for adults (http://nnw.fm/pFa4w). Companies nimble enough to take advantage of these promising changes include DOJA Cannabis Company Ltd. (CSE: DOJA) (OTC: DJACF) (DJACF Profile), Growlife, Inc. (OTC: PHOT), United Cannabis Corp. (OTCQB: CNAB), Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (TSXV: CBW) (OTC: CBWTF) and Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (TSXV:FIRE) (OTC:SPRWF).

Acquisitions, deal-making, and expansion plans are on the minds of many in the cannabis sector as 2018 enters the world. A new Viridian Cannabis Deal Tracker report states the amount of financing raised in 2017 to support the coming cannabis boom is a staggering $2 billion in…

$PTIE Positive Top-line Results from Nasal Abuse Potential Study with REMOXY™

– Study Meets Primary Endpoint (p<0.01) –

– REMOXY NDA Remains On-Track for Resubmission in Q1 2018 –

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 09, 2018 — Pain Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:PTIE) today announced positive results from a human abuse potential study of its late-stage drug candidate, REMOXY.  Study results indicate that in non-dependent, recreational opioid users, nasal administration of REMOXY resulted in significantly lower abuse potential compared to immediate-release (IR) oxycodone.  All study subjects reported reduced ‘Drug Liking’ ‘Take Drug Again’ and ‘Drug High’ for REMOXY compared to oxycodone IR.  In addition, nasal administration of REMOXY showed lower exposure to oxycodone, lower peak concentrations (Cmax) and longer time to peak drug concentration (Tmax) against comparator drugs, suggesting comparatively lower abuse potential.

“We believe these data indicate REMOXY may have limited nasal abuse potential relative to comparator drugs,” said Remi Barbier, President & CEO.  “We have now successfully completed all studies necessary to resubmit the REMOXY NDA to the FDA, and plan to do so shortly.”

Design & Methods:
This Category 3 nasal abuse potential study was conducted in accordance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Guidance for Industry for Abuse-Deterrent Opioids.  In a randomized, double-blind, active- and placebo-controlled, single-dose, 4-way crossover study, 38 recreational opioid users with a history of intranasal drug abuse were enrolled in the study.  The primary endpoint was ‘Drug Liking’.  Secondary endpoints included ‘Take Drug Again’, ‘Drug High’ and pupil size.  There were four treatment arms: REMOXY 40 mg intact; REMOXY 40 mg microwaved; oxycodone IR 40 mg; and placebo.  All treatments were administered nasally.  Thirty-six subjects completed the study.  In addition, the first 20 subjects who completed the double-blind portion of the study also participated in a supplemental FDA Category 2 treatment arm to measure pharmacokinetic parameters following the nasal administration of 40 mg crushed OxyContin®.

Top-Line Study Results:
REMOXY intact and microwaved each demonstrated lower VAS scores on the primary endpoint, Drug Liking (p<0.01) versus oxycodone IR, indicating that oxycodone IR was significantly preferred over REMOXY.

On secondary endpoints, REMOXY intact and microwaved each demonstrated lower scores versus oxycodone IR on Take Drug Again, Drug High and pupil size (each p<0.001 or better).

On all pharmacokinetic parameters, REMOXY resulted in significantly lower exposure to oxycodone compared to oxycodone IR and crushed OxyContin.  Peak oxycodone concentrations (Cmax) were at least 4-fold lower for REMOXY, microwaved or intact, compared to crushed OxyContin or oxycodone IR.  Additionally, time to reach peak oxycodone concentrations was 3.5 times as long for REMOXY compared to crushed OxyContin.  The Cmax values for nasally administered REMOXY, microwaved REMOXY, crushed OxyContin and oxycodone IR were 14.9, 11.9, 63.6 and 64.7 ng/ml, respectively.  Tmax values were 3.1, 3.1, 0.88 and 1.6 hours, respectively.

Finally, the Abuse Quotient (AQ=Cmax/Tmax) is an essential measurement of abuse potential, with lower scores suggesting comparatively lower potential for abuse.

In this study, AQ measurements were:
<5.0     for REMOXY, intact or microwaved
72.3     for OxyContin crushed
40.4     for oxycodone IR

About REMOXY ER (extended-release oxycodone capsules CII)
REMOXY ER is a proprietary, abuse-deterrent, extended-release oral formulation of oxycodone. The proposed indication for this drug candidate is for “the management of pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.”  We developed REMOXY to make oxycodone difficult to abuse yet provide 12 hours of steady pain relief when used appropriately by patients.  In particular, REMOXY’s thick, sticky, high-viscosity gel-cap formulation may deter unapproved routes of drug administration, such as injection, snorting or smoking.

About Opioid Abuse
Opioid drugs such as oxycodone are an important treatment option for patients with severe chronic pain.  However, oxycodone abuse and diversion remains a serious, persistent problem. Drug overdose deaths exceeded 64,000 in 2016, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).  For over a decade, Pain Therapeutics has pioneered Abuse-Deterrent Formulations (ADFs) to help in the fight against prescription drug abuse.  ADFs attempt to raise the bar on prescription drug abuse by making it more difficult, longer or aversive to tamper with long-acting opioid formulations, recognizing that no drug can be made abuse-proof.

About Pain Therapeutics, Inc.
We develop proprietary drugs that offer significant improvements to patients and physicians. Our expertise consists of developing new drugs and guiding these through various regulatory and development pathways in preparation for their eventual commercialization.  We generally focus our drug development efforts around disorders of the nervous system.  The FDA has not yet established the safety or efficacy of our drug candidates.

Our pipeline of drug assets includes:

REMOXY ER (extended-release oxycodone capsules CII) – Proprietary abuse-deterrent, twice-daily oral oxycodone for severe chronic pain.  NDA resubmission planned for Q1 2018.

FENROCK (transdermal fentanyl patch system) – Proprietary, abuse-deterrent skin patch for severe pain.  Early-stage program, substantially funded by a research grant award from National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

PTI-125 – Proprietary small molecule drug for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.  Phase I clinical-stage program, substantially funded by a research grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

PTI-125-DX – Blood-based diagnostic/biomarker to detect Alzheimer’s disease.  Early-stage program, substantially funded by a research grant award from the NIH.

NOTE: REMOXY ER and FENROCK are trademarks of Pain Therapeutics, Inc.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains forward-looking statements for purposes of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”).  Pain Therapeutics disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, and claims the protection of the Safe Harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Act.  Examples of such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the planned resubmission of the REMOXY NDA in a timely matter. Such statements are based on management’s current expectations, but actual results may differ materially due to various factors.  Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those risks and uncertainties relating to the ability to resubmit the REMOXY NDA in Q1 2018.  For further information regarding these and other risks related to our business, investors should consult our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

$DJACF Closes $12.5 Million Private Placement led by $APHQF

KELOWNA, BC, Jan. 9, 2018 – DOJA Cannabis Company Limited (“DOJA” or the “Company“) (CSE: DOJA) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts“) whereby Aphria Inc. (“Aphria“) (TSX:APH and US OTC: APHQF) and Koicha Partners LP acquired from DOJA an aggregate of 8,992,807 Subscription Receipts of the Company at a price per Subscription Receipt of $1.39 for gross proceeds of $12,500,001.73 (the “Offering“).

The financing supports the strategic positioning of Hiku Brands Company Ltd. (“Hiku“), the anticipated combined company resulting from the merger (the “Merger“) of DOJA and TS Brandco Holdings Inc. (“Tokyo Smoke“), an award-winning lifestyle brand and retail-focused cannabis company (see DOJA’s press release of December 21, 2017). The merger of DOJA and Tokyo Smoke creates the first retail-focused, craft cannabis producer, and with a portfolio of highly recognizable brands, Hiku is strategically positioned to become the preeminent craft cannabis brand house in the Canadian adult-use cannabis market.

“We’re thrilled to have strategic partners in Aphria and Koicha Partners,” said Trent Kitsch, CEO of DOJA. “Once the merger with Tokyo Smoke goes through, this strategic investment will strengthen Hiku, financially as well as through its brand recognition and product and market reach. Expanding Hiku’s retail footprint, targeting provinces allowing private cannabis retail, and building a portfolio of recognizable consumer brands and products will be key differentiators for Hiku.”

The Subscription Receipts will be automatically convertible into units of the Company (the “Units“) upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions, with each Unit comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share“) and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (a “Warrant“).  Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share (a “Warrant Share“) for a period of two years from the closing date of the Merger at an exercise price of $2.10 per Warrant Share. If, following the closing of the Merger, the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange is equal to or greater than $3.05 for any twenty (20) consecutive trading days, the Company may, upon providing written notice to the holders of the Warrants, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such written notice. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to expand its cannabis production capacity, grow its retail footprint, and add select brands to its portfolio through highly strategic and complementary acquisitions.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring May 10, 2018.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

For further details on the Offering and the Merger, please refer to the Company’s press release dated December 21, 2017.
