Sometimes, you just have to let the numbers speak for themselves. With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for … but then you see these numbers for the first half of the year:
Revenues $USD 1.7M vs $745,000 = 130% Gain
Patient Visits 12,400 vs 5,500 = 125% Gain
CBDT has now delivered growth in 4 successive financial reports (Q4, FY 2019, Q1 and Q2), so it is safe to say that superstar CEO Steve McAuley can officially claim victory on the turnaround he inherited in 2019.
Despite officially acquiring KAI on October 5th, Empower was able to walk right into KAI and increase testing volume by 763% sequentially (vs September) to 1,375 units. While most companies need a couple of months to really start making changes within the operations of new acquisitions, McAuley hit the ground running and even.
How much revenue was generated from these record October tests? CEO McAuley gives us back of the napkin math to play with.
But he is far from done.
Just as Empower did with their clinics, Empower has aggressive growth strategies in place for KAI, including servicing new COVID-19 testing contracts for the:
Film & television industry
Banks
Restaurants
Tourism and ….
Supporting the Sun Valley Health COVID-19 RT-PCR and rapid antibody testing programs in the state of Arizona.
One, some or all of these should lead to even bigger numbers in November. In fact, we asked him if he was “concerned” that he may run out of capacity of 4,000 tests per day (a great concern to have). Wait until you hear his answer.
But just one more thing
Empower announced it:
“has signed numerous new commercial testing contracts, the details of which will be provided in subsequent press releases.”
Somebody get out a calculator
It doesn’t take much to see that KAI has the potential to take Empower to a whole new level. Specifically, if you’re an investor in Well Health (WELL:TSX) and/or CloudMD (DOC:TSXV) you have to start taking a serious look at Empower as the next great potential health and wellness company. It’s already proven solid revenues and growth from its clinics, is expanding its telemedicine practice very nicely and now has the power to quickly generate significant enterprise level revenues from its newly acquired KAI medical diagnostics laboratory … which is already bearing fruit just 30 days after the acquisition.
Can McAuley pull it off? First consider what he has already accomplished after inheriting a catastrophe of a company in early 2019. Secondly, McAuley is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE (General Electric) Chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive retail environment in recent history and turn it into significant growth through Q2 2020.
And if you MISSED Well Health and CloudMD, you really need to take a close look at Empower as the next great potential small cap health & wellness company.

How do you connect over 100M small businesses in China who need access to different kinds of credit …. with over 10K banks and lending institutions that have different lending criteria?
Well, if you try to do it the old fashioned way, you just can’t. SMB’s (small and medium businesses) and Lenders are pretty much forced to deal within local markets which drastically reduces alternatives and business …. and both sides are left with a daunting, slow and inefficient manual workload.
ENTER PEAK FINTECH
The Peak Fintech Lending Hub uses Artificial Intelligence and analytics to fully automate the process by which lenders and borrowers connect quickly and match perfectly across several market verticals.
When Joseph and Inwentash say this AI-Powered platform is revolutionizing the Chinese SMB commercial lending ecosystem, they’re not just paying lip service … Peak Fintech is delivering results
Reported revenue growth of 293% to $11.2 million for the first half of 2020
Targeting $40 million in revenues and $4 million in EBITDA for the 2020 year.
Platform now has lending products from 54 different banks and lending institutions
Signed Agreement To Bring Lending Hub To 60,000 Online Electronics Stores
Stores would use Lending HUB to finance purchase of electronics inventory
100% market capture would translate into $1.35B in annual revenues
Inwentash discusses what attracted him to PKK, what his interest is in the Company and what he sees for the Company’s future.
Joseph also discusses new government regulations in China since the Ant IPO was suspended and whether they would impact PKK, as well as, the Company’s growth outlook for 2021.

The 4 Reasons Goldman Sachs Believes Candente Copper is a World Class Company
Candente Copper (TSX: DNT, BVL: DNT) owns 100% of a copper deposit in Peru and has big plans to become a miner.
Candente owns a large, economic, copper ore body in Peru waiting to be mined. Cañariaco Norte is a 100% owned feasibility-stage porphyry copper deposit.
Simply put, it is a mountainous rock body that holds 7.5 billion pounds of copper and has had multiple scientific studies propelling it along the way toward production. Strengthened by Goldman Sachs belief it is one of the top 80 copper deposits yet to be exploited and strategically guided by Australian Iron Ore giant Fortescue’s 19% inside ownership, Candente has the lowest quartile production costs that make it an intriguing project today and a must have for tomorrow.
Reasons Why Candente Copper is A Top Small Cap Copper Company
1. Goldman Sachs has Canariacao Norte listed as one of the top 80 projects waiting to be developed worldwide and is top 42 in South America. Mining projects take a long time to be developed due to the strict standards required to prove metal content in the ground, which Candente has proven it has tremendous amounts of.
A single, contiguous, open-pit mineable deposit of 7.5B pounds Measured and Indicated and can be mined for 22 years once in production speaks to the stability of the project
2. Supported Strategically by Fortesque’s 19.9% Ownership
Fortesque is recognized as a global leader in the mining industry. Fortesque holds 19% Candente and became involved to advance Canariaco further into development. Fortesque committed 1$Million in January 2020 with an eye toward production and is considered a strategic investor, which means they have a long-term timeline for joint exploitation of the asset.
Fortescue is one of the largest global iron ore producers, recognized for its culture, innovation and industry-leading development of world class infrastructure and mining assets in Western Australia. This is truly a partnership which seeks to equally progress Canariaco into development and Candente into production status. The accepted odds for a discovery to find its way into production is about 1 in 1000, and speaks to the sheer difficulty of the exercise.
Candente is close to the finish line and Fortesque is there for the final push.
3. Canariaco is in the lowest quartile of production costs
Once in production Canariaco is in the lowest quartile of production costs for projects waiting to be developed Operating costs of US$0.988 per pound of copper
Canariaco has 7.5Billion pounds of copper measured and indicated capable of generating annual production of 262,000,000lbs of copper, 39,000 oz gold & 911,000 oz silver over initial mine life of 22 yrs(@ 95,000 tpd). A long stable mine life is what attracts quality investors like Fortesque.
Canariaco is a stable, long term investment once it is producing because its output is consistent every year. The risk has been removed from the project.
4. Canariaco is the 1st of 3 projects all in the same area waiting to be discovered.
Candente has the opportunity to make further discoveries through Canariaco South and Quebrada Verde, both within a 5km trend that shares infrastructure. Management believes Canariaco Sur is a mineable deposit and will add tremendous support to shareholders in the future. Quebrada Verde demonstrates the same minerology and potential as both Norte and Sur which and requires future exploitation
Each of these projects will benefit greatly from Canariaco’s development as it will make development even cheaper than Canariaco Norte due to the infrastructure that will be in place, possible pushing Canariaco’s future overall costs even lower.

One bidder really got into the spirit at Sotheby’s latest auction. A 14.83-carat fancy vivid type IIA purple-pink diamond, nicknamed “The Spirit of the Rose,” sold for a staggering $26.6 million and set a new auction record in the process.
The coveted rock hit the block at Sotheby’s “Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels” sale in Geneva on Wednesday and was snapped up by an anonymous buyer, who placed the winning bid over the phone. The gem, which was the largest of its kind to come to auction, failed to reach its high estimate of $38 million yet still set a record auction price for a purple-pink gem, according to Sotheby’s.
Of course, this is no ordinary ice. The sheer size and flawless internal structure of “The Spirit of the Rose” renders her quite unique. In fact, 99 percent of pink diamonds are under 10 carats. The stone was cut from the largest pink rough ever mined in Russia. “Nijinsky,” which was named after a ballet featuring dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, was unearthed by the Alrosa mine from the Ebelyakh deposit in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the northeast of the country back in 2017. It weighed an incredible 27.85 carats before it was cut.

The painstaking cutting process took a full year to complete before the diamond could even be polished. The work was carried out at Alrosa’s factory in Moscow. The finished product sold in Geneva represented Russia’s most expensive diamond, according to Alrosa.
“The Spirit of the Rose caught the imagination of everyone who had the chance to see it,” Benoit Repellin, Head of Sotheby’s Geneva ‘Magnificent Jewels’ auction, said in a press release. “It fully deserves the price achieved tonight, which is also a testament to the growing appreciation, and awareness of the great scarcity of pink diamonds around the world.”

Indeed, once the Argyle Mine, the largest supplier of high-quality pink diamonds, closes for good this year, these stones will become even more limited and even more prized. In fact, they’re already skyrocketing in value and being eyed by collectors for their ROI potential.
So far, Sotheby’s “Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels” sale has realized roughly $52.2 million and continues today with online auctions.
