Hollister Biosciences (HOLL:CSE) is a multi-state operator with multiple, high-quality products that are now carried in 280 of California’s 600 dispensaries, where it also claims California’s #1 hash infused pre-roll “HashBone” … and if that is all they had you would have the makings of a great small cap cannabis company.
But there is more …. way more.
Venom Extracts is their 100% owned subsidiary that is absolutely dominating the state of Arizona. More than just lip service:
Venom just surpassed $30,000,000 (MILLION) in revenue YEAR TO DATE
Venom Extracts is one of Arizona’s premier extract brands
One of the state’s largest producers of medical cannabis distillate and related products
The products are award winning
….. And it is run by the absolute coolest guy in small cap Cannabis – Jake Cohen
THE NUMBERS SAY IT ALL
1. RECORD Q3 REVENUE $12.5M
2. CRAZY REVENUE GROWTH 5,200%
3. RECORD EBITDA $1.265M (vs a loss of $362,000) In case you’re wondering if this was a fluke quarter, this is what Q2 looked like:
RECORD REVENUE of $US 8.47M, compared to $200,000 last year and representing an increase of 4,170%
NET INCOME of $300,000, compared to a loss of $2.1M, representing a turnaround of $2.4M over last year
HOLLISTER HEADED TOWARDS $50,000,000 REVENUE?
If you’re paying attention, HOLL is achieving enormous growth both year over year and sequentially. If we extrapolate the latest Q3 numbers, Hollister is on a $50,000,000 annualized revenue run rate assuming no further growth.
But there is more.
The State of Arizona just approved recreational cannabis in Arizona. This is a potential windfall for Venom given the fact its brand, reputation and dispensary penetration from its award winning medical cannabis is about as good as it gets. How good is Hollister now?
How good does it get?
Watch this incredible interview with Venom Extracts Founder Jake Cohen, the coolest exec in small cap cannabis because he delivers incredible results with sweat, swagger and great swag to boot.

HPQ Silicon Resources (HPQ:TSXV) is a Canadian producer of Silicon that is building a line of specialty silicon products needed for electric batteries.
More than just lip service, HPQ has already announced NDA’s with 2 undisclosed companies in the space and has hinted at other NDA’s that are so tight they could not even be announced.
But October 22, 2020 HPQ Silicon went from “a company that is just talking to auto and battery manufacturers to a company that is doing business with a global auto manufacturer” according to CEO Bernard Tourillon, after the Company announced:
Tourillon went to intimate that this order puts HPQ on the global silicon map that he expects to lead to significantly greater interest from the industry.
This was echoed in the press release which stated:
“HPQ NANO is looking forward to the December 2020 start of the Gen1 PUREVAP TM NSiR reactor in order to start delivering material as we work to keep up with the expected strong interest in our Nano Silicon products.”
Earlier this week, HPQ announced it was on track to start their Nano Silicon reactor in December and fulfill this first order from the auto manufacturer … but then the Company went even further when Tourillon stated:
“While we are very excited by HPQ NANO material blue sky potential in the silicon battery space , we are also thrilled by our material potential in other high value markets,“
What are those other high value markets? How big are they? How confident is HPQ in it’s ability to address these markets?
If you are serious about battery metals and electric vehicles entering their big growth stage in the next 5 years, then you owe it to yourself to watch this interview with CEO.

Affinity Metals (AFF:TSX-V) (34IA: FSE) recently made two key property acquisitions. The Carscallen Extension adjoins the Kirkland Lake / Melkior $110 million Joint Venture and is on trend. Melkior’s Carscallen property has gained considerable attention in recent months since Kirkland Lake Gold first entered into negotiations. Melkior recently closed a strategic partnership with KL in an option deal worth up to $110 million. The confidence of a major producer entering into an agreement of this size is very promising and shows the potential of this newly discovered gold system.
The Windfall North is along strike to the northeast from Osisko’s rapidly growing Windfall Lake deposit within the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt. Osisko’s Windfall Lake Project is reportedly one of the highest grade resource-stage gold projects in Canada and continues to grow as more discoveries are made. Osisko recently reported Windfall Lake indicated resources of 2.39 million tonnes at 9.1 g/t Au (1,206,000 oz. gold) and inferred resources of 10.61 million tonnes at 8.4 g/t. (3,938,000 oz. gold). Osisko has defined the resource approximately 2000m on strike and 1500m depth, and continues to drill at an impressive pace.
Sit back and discover why Affinity offers multiple opportunities to take advantage of a growing bull market in metals.

If that wasn’t enough, PyroGenesis CEO Peter Pascali was even more emphatic when he stated:
“As the technology provider we would be the first to say that nothing is guaranteed. In every new application there will always be challenges along the way, both anticipated and unanticipated. With that in mind, we are happy to note that at this point in time we see nothing that should prevent us from successfully producing the desired powders using PUREVAP TM Nano Silicon Reactor .
5 YEARS ON THE SILICON ROAD LESS TRAVELED
Over the past 5 years, HPQ has teamed up with 2 world renowned technology partners to manufacture high purity silicon cleaner, cheaper and better than anyone in the world – because you can’t dig it out of the ground like other battery metals such as graphite, cobalt and nickel. Now HPQ is on the verge of sending samples of its industry leading silicon to NDA and other potential partners as early as December.
However, despite providing shareholders with a great return during this period, HPQ’s silicon strategy was still met by skepticism amongst investors who found it easier to understand traditional battery metal stories.
TESLA CHANGED EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT
This all changed 7 days ago on September 23rd 2020, when this headline emerged from Tesla’s “Battery Day”
“Tesla To Revolutionize Use Of Silicon In Batteries: Slash Costs, Increases Range”
With the specific references to Silicon + Cheaper Cost + Longer Range, you would have thought HPQ wrote this headline themselves given the fact this is EXACTLY what they have been telling the world for the last 5 years.
Now, thanks to the Company’s latest press release and Tesla’s commitment to silicon, HPQ Silicon no longer has to convince anybody that Silicon is the right track.
If you are serious about battery metals and electric vehicles entering a paradigm shifting parabolic stage in the next 5 years, then you owe it to yourself to watch this interview with CEO Bernard Tourillon.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has wreaked havoc on the global economy but perhaps no industry has suffered worse than the travel industry which could suffer an unfathomable loss of $US 3.3 TRILLION (Not A Typo) if it can’t find a practical solution to replace the shut down and / or quarantine measures mandated around the world. Specifically, as of today, travel restrictions by country are as follows:
58 countries are completely closed
124 countries are partially open with MANDATORY quarantine upon arrival
Unlike the restaurant business which can mitigate losses through alternative models such as take-out, delivery and outdoor patios, the travel industry has no mitigation solutions. Countries are either shut down or implementing such strict quarantine requirements that they might as well be shut down. The only solution is a complete solution that combines venue tracing, contact tracing and rapid testing to give government, airlines and cruise ships the comfort they need to know that travellers are not spreading COVID-19 to each other, or to other countries.
Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson confirmed this when he said:
“We have heard from stakeholders in the entertainment, travel, and hospitality industries that have stressed the importance of an end-to-end integrated solution capable of protecting employees and customers to facilitate a safe economic recovery.”
As the front facing part of the Travel Bubble solution, Loop Insights is a powerful Artificial Intelligence company whose industry leading venue tracing has gained significant traction towards reopening the tourism, hospitality and entertainment industries in the United States with the likes of University of Houston and the NCAA Basketball #VegasBubble, as well as, recently being recognized by TELUS as one of the most advanced IoT solutions in the world for their customers.
EMPOWER CLINICS
Empower’s rapid antigen and antibody tests produce results in only 15 minutes, providing airlines, cruise ships and the 182 countries currently in full or partial shutdown with the safety and security necessary to fully reopen their borders to international travel. Moreover, Empower’s KAI Medical Laboratory is a high-complexity accredited laboratory that provides reliable and accurate testing solutions to enterprise level clients, including the gold standard COVID-19 RT-PCR testing with the capacity to process 4,000 tests per day. Empower recently announced a deal to provide a major film and television studio with 1,000 such tests.
Together, the two companies believe the Travel Bubble combination of frequent testing and a robust international tracing platform provides the end-to-end protection necessary to spark a strong global economic recovery.
Sounds too good to be true? Both companies still have to execute but they advise that advanced discussions are already underway with major airlines, cruise ship companies and hotel operators.
Watch or listen to this powerful interview with Empower CEO, Steve McAuley and Loop CEO, Rob Anson to learn more about their potential game changing Travel Bubble solution.
