Escondido, California–(October 10, 2017) – Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC Pink: MCOA) (“MCOA” or the “Company“), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, and Global Hemp Group (CSE: GHG) (FSE: GHG) (OTC Pink: GBHPF), (collectively the “Companies“), are pleased to announce that they have jointly entered into a letter of intent with Space Cowboys, Inc. (“Space Cowboys“) for the purposes of forming a joint venture (the “Joint Venture“). Space Cowboys is an existing fully licensed and compliant hemp-derived cannabinoid producer in Colorado.

Pursuant to the terms of the letter of intent and subject to the Companies obtaining sufficient financing, the Companies will invest US$2.5 Million in exchange for a 25% equity interest in Space Cowboys. The investment funds will be used to expand Space Cowboys’ cultivation operation.

Space Cowboys is in its fourth year of operation and is in full compliance with Colorado state law and the Colorado Department of Agriculture. The business consists of both indoor and outdoor cultivation of highly concentrated CBD hemp on properties located in Longmont and Loveland, Colorado. Space Cowboys’ current hemp crops will be harvested in the latter part of October and prepared for extraction of the high-value cannabinoids.

In addition to the potential revenue streams generated from Space Cowboys’ ongoing high cannabinoid hemp production, this Joint Venture will provide the opportunity to be a part of a legal operation with the extensive knowledge and experience required to cultivate and process industrial hemp into raw cannabinoids. For MCOA, it will also provide a consistent cannabinoid supply from a known source and trusted partner for its hempSMARTâ„¢ product line. This will also enable Global Hemp Group to develop its Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone concept.

“MCOA has always been interested in developing hemp farms and processing here in the United States. By initiating this Joint Venture, the Company will accomplish this objective along with securing its supply chain of raw cannabinoids. It is an important step in the continued development of the hempSMART brand, which distributes a hemp-based Cannabinoid product line,” said CEO, Donald Steinberg.

The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, completion of satisfactory due diligence, entry into a definitive agreement and receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals. There is no assurance such conditions will be met or that the Companies will be able to secure the financing necessary to complete the transaction on acceptable terms or at all.

St Georges $SX.ca Provides #Lithium Processing Update & New Canadian Focused Subsidiary

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:49 PM on Thursday, October 5th, 2017

Sx large

  • Provides update on the progress of a few of its business initiatives
  • Received in Montreal a first delivery of material from the Bonnie Claire sedimentary lithium project, which is 100% owned by Iconic Minerals (TSX-V: ICM)

Montreal, Quebec / October 5, 2017 – St-Georges Platinum & Base Metals ltd (CSE: SX) (OTC: SXOOF) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to update its shareholders and stakeholders on the progress of a few of its business initiatives.

Lithium Research Initiative Update

The Company has received in Montreal a first delivery of material from the Bonnie Claire sedimentary lithium project, which is 100% owned by Iconic Minerals (TSX-V: ICM). St-Georges’ metallurgists have devised a protocol to extensively test the material in order to prepare a multi-tonne larger bulk test in a pilot plant environment later this fall in collaboration with St-Georges R&D partners. Please refer to St-Georges’ press release dated August 10, 2017 for details regarding the relationship between St-Georges and Iconic Minerals.

St-Georges’ research team will be working on the optimization of the lithium recovery process specific to the Bonnie Claire project’s mineral composition and will be reviewing the potential economic recovery of secondary commodities such as strontium. The approach can be summed up to a combination of hydrometallurgy and mineral process configured in such a way that it optimizes the liquid separation of the valuable elements. St-Georges has now moved away from the stage of the proof of concept and is currently characterizing and identifying the key performance indicators for each step of the lithium recovery pertinent to Bonnie Claire’s mineral material.

New Canadian Focused Subsidiary

Mr. Mark Billings, chairman of the board of St-Georges, will become the president of a new subsidiary of St-Georges that will be receiving certain assets of the company, including the nickel, copper & cobalt project known as the Isoukustouc Project, which is located on the Quebec North Shore, north of the deep-sea port town of Baie-Comeau and on the territory of the Quebec Government Initiative known as the “Northern Plan”.

About Isoukustouc

Owned 100% by St-Georges, the Isoukustouc Project is located 75 km north of the town of Baie-Comeau on the Quebec North Shore and is composed of 32 claims representing an approximate total of 1,800 hectares or 18 square kilometers. Previously reported historical assay values obtained on selected grab samples yielded grades of 17.00% wt. copper, 3.84% wt. nickel and 0.20% wt. cobalt. The 2012 surface sample program from the B40 section yielded 1.85% nickel and 0.335% copper on average. An exploration program of 2,343 line-km of airborne magnetic geophysical survey with 100m spacing was completed in 2011.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

“Frank Dumas’

FRANK DUMAS, PRESIDENT & CEO

About St-Georges

St-Georges is developing new technologies to solve the biggest environmental problems in the mining industry. If these new technologies are successful, they should improve the financial bottom line of current mining producers. The potential success of these technologies would also involve upgrading certain current known metal resources to economic status while addressing the environmental and social acceptability issues.

The Company controls directly or indirectly all of the active mineral tenures in Iceland. It also explores for nickel on the Julie Nickel Project & for industrial minerals on Quebec’s North Shore and for lithium and rare metals in Northern Quebec and in the Abitibi area. Headquartered in Montreal, St-Georges’ stock is listed on the CSE under the symbol SX, on the US OTC under the Symbol SXOOF and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol 85G1.

Microsoft $MSFT could become the #Ticketmaster of #Esports analyst says $GMBL

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:17 PM on Thursday, October 5th, 2017
  • Microsoft is headed for a “sustained period of accelerating growth” driven by its cloud computing, office productivity software and potential esports cash cows, according to Canaccord Genuity.
  • “Perhaps Microsoft could become the Ticketmaster of eSports, maybe they could run leagues,” the firm’s analyst writes.

Microsoft’s growth could get a boost from its latest Xbox launch as well as its exploration of the growing esports industry, according to one Wall Street analyst.

Canaccord Genuity upgraded Microsoft shares to buy from hold Wednesday, noting that the Xbox maker could give more credibility to the budding world of esports, which is centered on video game tournaments and already attracts thousands of participants and viewers.

“In our view, this is both an area of future internal development and prospective M&A,” wrote analyst Richard Davis. “With regard to M&A, perhaps Microsoft could become the Ticketmaster of eSports, maybe they could run leagues.”

Microsoft is set to release its latest generation of Xbox, called the Xbox One X, in November. Davis added that Microsoft‘s office productivity programs and its cloud computing platform, Azure, could also accelerate growth.

Shares of Microsoft rose 0.5 percent shortly after Thursday’s market open. The company’s stock is up 20 percent year to date through Wednesday.

The analyst raised his price target for Microsoft shares to $86, which is 15 percent higher than Wednesday’s closing price. His old target was $76.

Esports are turning a lot of heads lately. Industry revenue is expected to hit $1.1 billion in 2019, and roughly 76 percent of esports fans claim the virtual tournaments are overtaking their time spent watching traditional sporting events, according to research firm Newzoo.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft recently made headlines by purchasing one of seven teams for the Overwatch League, a popular online game produced by Activision Blizzard.

“For brands, media, and entertainment companies, esports provides a chance to capitalize on the favorite pastime of digital natives and Millennials: playing games and watching game content,” Newzoo’s analysts wrote in the firm’s annual esports market report.

Who Is Augusta Industries $AAO.ca Why Are The World’s Biggest Companies Their Clients And Why Did They Just Announce A Spin Out?

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:36 AM on Thursday, October 5th, 2017

Augusta Industries (AAO:TSXV) is a superstar company that very few people small cap investors have ever heard of.  More than just lip service, take a quick look at the client rolls of their 2 subsidiaries. Once you do, you’ll understand why Augusta just announced a spin out transaction that will split the subsidiaries into two companies, making shareholders very happy.

SUBSIDIARIES OVERVIEW

With non- intrusive technologies including: fiber optic sensors and electric field mapping systems; FOX-TEK is able to accurately measure changes that could negatively impact clients’ operations, the list of which includes the following Tier-1 Energy Companies.

How strong are FOX-TEK’s client relationships? Read the following article written by Enbridge and published on its own website:

On it’s own, FOX-TEK would be a great small cap company – but they only tell half of the Augusta story.

2]  Marcon International – an industrial supply contractor servicing the energy sector and a number of US Government entities. Marcon’s principal business is the sale and distribution of industrial parts and equipment to clients that include government departments and global energy companies.

SPINOUT TO UNLOCK VALUE OF EACH COMPANY

Investors can now begin to understand why Augusta wants to separate each of these fantastic companies into their own companies.  Specifically, Augusta Industries is aiming to deliver $25M in additional shareholder value with its Sensor Technologies spin out announcement on September 28th.  At the time of “Spin out”, Augusta will own 50 Million shares of Sensor Tech, and 100% of Marcon International, unleashing the potential for explosive growth through its multinational relationships and state of the art monitoring technology.

Augusta is a burgeoning beast in the Oil & Gas service sector with its multi-faceted approach to creating shareholder value for its shareholders. With a current 10M$ market cap and an anticipated 25$ million of value to be delivered to shareholders through the spin-out, in addition to the Second Business Unit Augusta Owns “Marcon International”, $3.8 Mil In Sales Yr end 2016.

OTTAWA, ONTARIO–( Oct. 4, 2017) – Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (“Tetra” or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:TBP)(OTCQB:TBPMF), a global leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery, today announced that it has been selected, among a large group of candidates, to present at the prestigious BIO Investor Forum to be held in San Francisco October 17-18th at the Westin St. Francis Hotel. Robert (Bob) Bechard, Vice-President, Finance and Business Development of Tetra will present on Tuesday the 17th at 4:00pm Pacific Time (7:00pm Eastern Time). The presentation will be available live via webcast.

BIO Investor Forum is one of the premiere Investor/Bio-Partnering events providing access to more than 125 investment funds, 175 BioPharmaceutical companies and 800 delegates from all over the world, giving Tetra an excellent opportunity to present its robust product pipeline that is chasing multi-billion dollar markets including cancer pain, neuropathic pain, chemo induced vomiting and nausea, as well as dry eye, eye pain, and chronic pain. Tetra is the only company that has successfully run clinical trials using a smokable cannabis product recognized by Health Canada and the Food and Drug Administration (USA) and has generated Phase I results that demonstrated excellent bioavailability and safety data which has created great interest from pharmaceutical companies and Bio-Pharma investors. In addition to presenting Tetra will be holding one-on-one Investor and Partnering meetings to carefully identify future Investors and Partners and will also be advancing its discussions with partners met at previous conferences.

“It is indeed an honor to have been selected by BIO Investor Forum to present at this most prestigious conference. Our selection was based on the strength and innovation of our pipeline, with a potential of bringing novel therapies to huge number of patients and pursuing billion dollar markets. Events like BIO Investor enable us to get in contact with 100s of investors, companies, and delegates in a very short period of time, allowing us to cost-effectively spread the word on the enormous potential of our business model,” said Bernard Fortier, CEO of Tetra Bio-Pharma. “We strongly believe in the future potential of our business strategy as we build Tetra into a global leader in cannabinoid-based drug discovery and development.”

A link to the live audio webcast will be available on Tetra’s website at http://tetrabiopharma.com/investors/presentations/default.aspx. The webcast will be archived for three months.
