IDK: CSE
Completed its commitment of USD$500,000 to acquire 248,201 Preferred Series A-1 Stock in TODAQ Holdings Inc.
The Subject Shares represent approximately 1.3% fully diluted of all issued and outstanding preferred and common shares of TODAQ as of September 30, 2019.
TORONTO, Oct. 01, 2019 — ThreeD Capital Inc. (the “Companyâ€) (CSE:IDK), a Canadian-based venture capital firm focused on investments in promising, early stage companies and ICOs with disruptive capabilities is pleased to announce that it has completed its commitment of USD$500,000 to acquire 248,201 Preferred Series A-1 Stock (the “Subject Sharesâ€) in TODAQ Holdings Inc. (“TODAQâ€). The Subject Shares represent approximately 1.3% fully diluted of all issued and outstanding preferred and common shares of TODAQ as of September 30, 2019. The Subject Shares have been acquired in a series of private placements and not through the facilities of any stock exchange. The Company, through the preferred stock acquisition, also receive Toda Notes (“TDNâ€) royalty rights of approximately 175 million TDN out of a total supply of 237 TDN, representing approximately 0.13% of the total TDN supply.
“I’m pleased to announce the close of this important investment.
We’ve followed our thesis of investing in secure, efficient,
confidential, scalable and interoperable decentralized technology and
focusing on fundamentals rather than the hype cycle of a still nascent
industry. I’m looking forward to bringing the TODAQ enablement factor to
bear across our other investment verticals,†said ThreeD’s Founder,
Chairman and CEO Sheldon Inwentash.
TODAQ is a founder of the Sovereignty Tech movement and aims to
restore ownership and control of identity, assets and data for all as a
human right. The company serves businesses, financial institutions and
governments and offers the open API TaaS (TODA-as-a-service’) platform
which provides ownership management and settlement for all digital
assets. It is powered by TODA, a decentralized protocol for ownership
management. It enables the secure and efficient creation, ownership and
transfer of meaningful digital assets and can be hosted fully on just
mobile devices. TODA’s proof of provenance data structure can wrap any
type of data, providing a transferrable, self-contained, immutable proof
of its history and integrity. The uniqueness enforced by the proof of
provenance also allows the creation and distribution of assets that
carry real value, without a central management system like a ledger or
database. TODA enables digital things to behave like tangible assets.
“Over the course of this last year working with ThreeD Capital as our
investor, we’ve brought academic institutions in to collaborate on TODA
Protocol decentralization and R&D, built the first version of the
TODA Protocol into an enterprise grade open API platform called TaaS,
partnered with global corporations in preparation to scale out to the
first hundreds of thousands of people, and readied ourselves to launch
and exchange list the TODA Note, the first decentralized digital asset
on TODA designed to support real economy utility. We’re looking forward
to integrating ThreeD Capital as our Canadian investor partner, and its
portfolio, into our main partners markets in Asia, Middle East and
Europe,†said Hassan Khan, the Co-Founder and CEO of TODAQ.
The TODA Note is a reserve backstopped digital note designed to
accelerate commerce and industry as well as complement existing fiat
currencies (which can also be put directly on the TODA). Due to the TODA
Protocol’s efficiency, TDN is not needed to settle or reach consensus
on transactions of TODA based digital assets. There will be a total of
237 cryptographically generated TDN, with a distribution period of about
ten years to place the entire supply into the global market. Any node
or low power device taking part in distributed consensus or settlement
work can also have a very small probability of generating a net new TDN
so that there is a slow but capped inflation of the overall TDN supply
over time.
ThreeD is a publicly-traded Canadian-based venture capital firm
focused on opportunistic investments in companies in the Junior
Resources, Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain sectors. ThreeD seeks
to invest in early stage, promising companies and ICOs where it may be
the lead investor and can additionally provide investees with advisory
services, mentoring and access to the Company’s ecosystem.

Coors Enters CBD Market With New Distribution Deals
As CBD continues to hit fever pitch with consumers, Molson Coors Brewing Company is entering the business
Company recently inked distribution deals with Colorado’s Best Drinks and DRAM Apothecary.
As CBD continues to hit fever pitch with consumers, Molson Coors
Brewing Company is entering the business. The company recently inked
distribution deals with Colorado’s Best Drinks and DRAM Apothecary.
“We are very excited to add Colorado’s Best Drinks and DRAM to our
portfolio, giving us the ability to offer amazing CBD hemp products to
retailers and consumers in the Denver Metro area. We see a big demand
for high quality and unique products in the non-alcoholic space and we
think Colorado’s Best Drinks and DRAM are the perfect solution to fill
that consumer demand,†says Jennifer DeGraff, director of marketing,
Coors Distributing Company.
Moose Koons, co-owner of Colorado’s Best Drinks, explains that the
process started about eight months ago when one of the company’s
beverages ended up in the hands of someone at the company.
“We started the process from there and Coors really saw an
opportunity,†he says. “Working with Coors is going to open up our
distribution into restaurants, grocery, bars, convenience stores — they
have a fantastic network. But it’s also about the validation and
legitimacy of our organization. We’ve been selling CBD drinks for more
than a year now.â€
Koons explains that Colorado’s Best Drinks has worked closely with
the Colorado Department of Health in order to figure out healthy CBD
boundaries in consumables, which he feels is one of the reasons that
Coors was drawn to the company.
Additionally, Koons adds that what makes Colorado’s Best Drinks
different from other CBD-infused beverages out there is the fact that
the company is hands-on in the manufacturing process.
“We understand how ingredients go together and how they bond.
Sometimes, CBD can be tricky and may not want to blend, but we found
solutions to make sure we are putting out a quality product,†he says.
As for teaming up with Coors as far as distribution, Koons says the
company is poised for growth already, modeling its processes after the
booming craft beer industry in Colorado.
“We watched the craft beer industry and we’ve been working on
scalability for two or three years. We should be able to increase
distribution without having to change the facility and we put a lot of
processes and procedures in place already,†he says.
Currently, distribution will be limited to Colorado while the Food
and Drug Administration irons out regulations regarding hemp-based food
and beverages. However, Koons notes that continuing the education of the
consumer will help to eliminate stigma, questions and concerns
surrounding the growing food and beverage category.
“One of our goals is to continue to educate the consumer that hemp is
fantastic. It’s sustainable and there are even receptors in your body
that allow you to be able to process it. We are going to continue to try
to really bring hemp into the spotlight,†he says.
Colorado’s Best Drinks offers a full line of sparkling beverages
infused with broad spectrum hemp extract. Each flavor – Black Cherry,
Cola, Ginger Ale, Lemonade and Root Beer – is crafted with just five
ingredients: sparkling water, organic agave nectar, natural flavors,
non-GMO citric acid, and broad spectrum hemp extract. Each 12oz BPA-free
can contains 100 calories and are all vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and
free of sodium and preservatives.

SPONSOR: Gratomic Inc. (TSX-V: GRAT) Advanced
materials company focused on mine to market commercialization of
graphite products, most notably high value graphene based components for
a range of mass market products. Collaborating with Perpetuus, Gratomic
will use Aukam graphite to manufacture graphene products for
commercialization on an industrial scale. For More Info Click Here
The wonder material is yet to live up to its potential but an Indian startup is weaving dreams with this form of carbon
The molecule is priceless, but it’s not the cost — a few lakh rupees
per kilo — that helped graphene win the epithet of “wonder material†or
“possibly the most remarkable substance discovered†in scientific
circles.
Graphene owes its impressive resume to its multiple attributes —
strong, flexible, light, transparent, waterproof and a good conductor of
electricity. Ever since it was discovered in 2004, scientists have been
speculating about its potential uses — replacing silicon in
electronics, indium in touchscreens and liquid polymer in bulletproof
vests. Unfortunately, the wonder material has failed to deliver on its
promises and still has a long way to go.
Despite that, scientists and entrepreneurs haven’t stopped pumping
billions of dollars and man hours into the quest for new inventions with
graphene that can transform sectors such as electronics, energy, health
and construction.
Log 9 Materials, a Bangalore-based nanotechnology start-up, has been
chasing the graphene dream since it was founded in 2015 by IIT-Roorkee
graduates Akshay Singhal and Kartik Hajela. It has been trying to tame
the material in many avatars — cigarette filters, batteries for
electronic vehicles and coatings for aircraft. Their latest foray is
into industrial clean up, including oil leaks and oil spills. Liquid
petroleum often gets accidentally released into oceans, bays and rivers
during transport and the spill does irreparable damage to aquatic life.
“The oil sorbent pads (LSP 20) innovated by us help contain and
absorb off-shore and on-shore [oil] spills as well as spills of other
chemicals,†says Akshay Singhal, co-founder and chief executive officer
of Log 9 Materials. “LSP 20 is able to absorb spills up to 86 times its
own weight. It has been tested against British Standards by third party
laboratories and has also been certified safe to incinerate and
dispose,†he adds.
There is always a risk of spillage during exploration, transportation
and storage of oil. Spills have the potential to cause irreparable
ecological damage in sea and on land. In situ combustion, oil booms and
oil skimmer vessels are used to clean up such spills but are not very
efficient. The products and particulates emitted through oil combustion
pollute the atmosphere while booms and skimmers, which are meant to
confine the spill to a specific location for collection, do not work
well in turbulent water.
One of the most economical and efficient means of removing oil spills
is to use sorbents that repel water (hydrophobic) but absorb oil
(oleophilic).
Akshay Singhal, co-founder and chief executive officer of Log 9 Materials
One of the most efficient means of removing oil spills is to use sorbents that repel water but absorb oil
Various natural absorbers such as expanded perlite and zeolites,
organic materials such as wool fibre, activated carbon and sawdust have
all been used as sorbents because of their extremely small pores.
However, these materials are incapable of absorbing oil without the
water. That is why new materials are needed that can sequester oil and
remove it. Various microporous polymers have been studied due to their
large specific surface area and hydrophobicity. Although they show
relative high absorption ability, the cost of these kinds of sorbents is
also high.
Graphene, discovered at the University of Manchester, UK, in 2004,
consists of thin flakes of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal
structure. It has a high surface area. While a typical carbon atom has a
diameter of about 0.33 nano metres, there are about three million
layers of graphene in 1mm of graphite — a crystalline form of the
element, carbon. Harder than diamond but more elastic than rubber,
tougher than steel yet lighter than aluminium, it can be processed into
various unique structures. Several graphene-based structures have been
designed and fabricated over the past decade to strongly repel water
(superhydrophobic) but absorb oil (superoleophilic) efficiently. These
characteristics make graphene an ideal candidate for selective
absorption of oil spills.
“We manufacture products to control spills of all forms, using
graphene. These products can be used to prevent, control and clean
spills in and around marine or terrestrial ecosystems,†says Dhananjay
Sharma, director and chief executive officer, Log 9 Spill Containment
Pvt. Ltd.
“The company has a larger agenda to educate various industries and
businesses about the value propositions attached to using graphene-based
products or offerings with respect to cost savings and environmental
impact,†he adds.
While graphene has countless potential applications, Log 9’s focus is
on two main areas: filtration and energy. Apart from the oil sorbent
pad, they are currently working on a metal-air battery which could
replace the current lithium ion batteries.
Says Singhal, “This battery makes use of the interaction of air,
water and aluminium. The air cathode made of graphene generates
electricity, thus making it lighter in weight compared to lithium ion
batteries.†Moreover, these batteries can run about 1,000km on a single
charge compared to 100-150km of the current ones.
Technology usually progresses at a slow pace. Swedish chemist Jakob
Berzilius purified silicon in 1824 but it took more than a century for
the semiconductor — used to run all modern electronic gadgets — industry
to develop. Most of the components of today’s smartphones, from
microprocessors to touchscreens, were also invented in the 1960s. It is,
therefore, expected that it will take some time for more horizons to
open up in the world of graphene. It is laudable that an Indian start-up
has dared to join graphene’s innovation race.

Electric-Car Dreams Could Fall a Nickel Short
Demand for a form of nickel needed in electric-vehicle batteries is starting to outpace supply
By Rhiannon Hoyle
SYDNEY—Global producers of electric cars have big ambitions and a bigger problem: Supplies of a key material are running short.
Nickel sulfate is a brilliantly colored crystalline substance used in electric-vehicle batteries.
The ore most commonly used to produce it is mined in only a handful of
places—and they include some of the most politically or operationally
challenging, such as Russia or Canada’s frozen Northeast.
Nickel sulfate accounts for just a fraction of global nickel sales;
about 70% of nickel is used in stainless steel. But auto makers will
launch more than 200 new plug-in electric vehicles through 2023,
consulting firm AlixPartners estimates—and that isn’t counting hybrids.
UBS expects batteries in electric vehicles to account for 12% of global
nickel demand by then, up from 3% in 2018.
And after years of low prices that stalled investment by global
miners, nickel supply is falling short of demand. “There’s no new nickel
in the pipeline,†said Angela Durrant, principal metals analyst at Wood
Mackenzie, a U.K.-based consulting firm.

The Huge Opportunity Education Investors Are Missing
Of course, there’s no such thing as a sure investment but here’s why getting aboard the education train in India sure feels like it.
HolonIQ, KPMG and others relay the numbers – India has 260 million students studying at 1.5 million schools.
If you pay attention for more than even a few minutes, it’s easy to
be dumbfounded by the decision-making of education and education
technology investors as they routinely pour money into businesses and
concepts that have no hope of working. They continually believe
education ventures and education markets function like normal ventures
in other markets and that what they hear from misinformed pundits is
accurate. They don’t. And it’s probably not.
At the level of the individual decision and the particular funding
round, there is a parade of examples. But the easiest example is at the
macro, international level where investors and speculators have yet to
move on what may be the greatest educational growth opportunity they
will likely ever see – India.
To say the education and education investment opportunities in India are massive is to not understand the word massive.
As you review the statistics and projections about India, keep in
mind that ed and edtech investment there is just 10% of the global
total, behind China and the U.S. According to HolonIQ, just $700 million was invested in India edtech in 2018 and just one company, Byju’s, raked in $540 million of that. Every other investment in education in India shared a paltry $160 million.
Of course, there’s no such thing as a sure investment but here’s why
getting aboard the education train in India sure feels like it.
HolonIQ, KPMG and others relay the numbers – India has 260 million students studying at 1.5 million schools.
The country has 600 million people under the age of 25 and some 27
million undergraduate college students. That’s 4.5%. For comparison, the
U.S. has about 17 million undergrads out of population of about 100
million in the under-25 bracket, obviously, that’s about 17%. The growth
potential in higher ed alone should be obvious.
With 400 million smart phone users, it’s the second-largest connected
country on the planet. And India’s projected economic growth is heavily
tied to service and technology and dependent on education. If the
country is going to continue to grow, its education system has to too.
National leaders know this are likely to continue big investments and
favorable policies.
Further, most education in India is done in English. All of higher
education is. Which means that for U.S. investors and innovators
especially, India ought to be a comparatively easy market to understand
and reach. Even more significantly, India allows for 100% direct foreign
investment in education.
The KPMG report predicts more than 50% annual growth in online
learning in India, due to the rapid growth in young people and Internet
connectivity. They expect that business in the reskilling and continuing
credential market to grow 38% annually.
And like many young people, students and prospective students in
India are highly responsive to educational quality as represented by
brand. In other words, known American and European education brands
that get in India now could really clean up as the country’s warp-speed
growth kicks in.
Overall, the KMPG report is not subtle about the India education
market, saying, “The education market in India … presents a lucrative
opportunity for monetization.†HolonIQ says the environment there
“translates into a huge opportunity as the target market for education
and upskilling.â€
It appears so.
Yes, education providers should not chase money, they should follow a
more noble purpose. But that case is sitting in India too. With 30% of
India’s population under the age of 14, the risk that India’s education
won’t keep pace is a real, geopolitical threat. Helping them grow in
size and quality is important on a number of fronts. And, if India’s
education system can keep pace, the growth will dwarf anything in China
and not even compare with anything in the U.S.
And yet investors and education providers have been comparatively
slow to move to and in India. In 2018, education funding in the U.S. was
twice what it was in India and education investment in China was nearly
seven times larger. To an observer, that makes little sense.
It feels that if you have a MOOC platform or a lab school or a random
digital learning app – investments with little hope of financial return
and even less hope of educational reform – venture capital flows like
wine at a bacchanal.
Maybe that’s overstated. What’s probably not overstated is what’s
coming in the education space in India. That feels very real. Let’s see
if the wizards of Wall Street and the sultans of Silicon Valley
recognize it.

Cardston, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – September 30, 2019) – American Creek Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AMK) (“American Creek”) (“the Corporation”) is pleased to announce composite results from JV partner Tudor Gold’s ongoing drill program being conducted at the Treaty Creek Project located in the Golden Triangle of NW British Columbia. As announced on September 23, 2019 we now have results from two deep vertical diamond drill holes (drilled to a depth of over 1,000m) and four definition drill holes. All six holes intercepted significant gold mineralization over wide intervals at the Goldstorm Zone.
Goldstorm Extension
Hole GS19-47 was drilled as a 150m step-out from hole GS19-42
(reported July 30, 2019 averaging 0.683 g/t Au over 780m) and was
drilled vertically to a total depth of 1,199m, ending in mineralization.
The hole contains strong stockwork with gold-bearing mineralization
accompanied by significant base-metal disseminated sulphide
mineralization averaging 0.589 g/t Au over 1081.5mincluding an upper interval of 0.828 g/t Au over 301.5m and a lower interval of 0.930 g/t Au over 207 m.
The hole was stopped in mineralization due to the drill rig reaching
its depth limitation, however, casing was left in the hole for possible
continuation next year.
This 150 meter step-out hole confirms that the Goldstorm system is
gaining strength to the northeast. With this strongly mineralized
intercept, the Goldstorm Zone has been extended by a total of 300m
this year from the best hole drilled in 2018 (CB18-39, averaging 0.981
g/t Au over 563.8m) and has now been traced along strike for over 800
meters.
Goldstorm Definition Drilling
A second deep vertical hole, GS19-48, was drilled to a total depth of
1035m from the same pad as CB18-39 (drilled in 2018). The results
exhibit excellent continuity of mineralization between holes and this
drill hole returned 0.725 g/t Auover 838.5m, including a near surface interval of 328.5m averaging 1.048 g/t gold Au.
Four footwall definition holes (GS19-43 to GS19-46) drilled on
section 109+00 NE, were successful in extending the width of the
mineralized zone, to the southeast into the footwall of the controlling
fault structure.
Hole GS19-43 returned an average of 0.566 g/t Au over 493.5m;
Hole GS19-44 returned an average of 0.807 g/t Au over 267m including 1.065 g/t Au over 150m;
Hole GS19-45 returned an average of 0.719 g/t Au over 325.5m including 1.000 g/t Au over 173m.
Hole GS19-46 returned an average of 0.510g/t Au over 594m including 0.734 g/t Au over 162m.
Tudor Gold Exploration Manager, Ken Konkin explains:
“Given the success of the two deep drill holes GS19-47 and GS19-48, the
Goldstorm System shows no signs of weakening to the northeast and
several more drill holes will be needed to find the length and depth of
this huge gold system. Hole GS19-47 showed a very strong quartz
stockwork system and was still in gold values at the end of the 1,199
meter drill hole. The bottom of GS19-47 averages 0.930 g/t Au over 207 meters.
This is the first time we’ve seen this strength of gold mineralization
at depth. Furthermore, a strong copper association was encountered with
gold values at depth in both GS19-47 and GS19-48.
A 151.5m zone of 0.22% copper with 0.572 g/t gold was intercepted from 665.0 to 816.5 meters in GS19-47 and a 66.0m zone of 0.35% copper with 0.958 g/t gold was intercepted from 874.5 to 940.5m in GS19-48.
Not only does the Goldstorm Zone remain open at depth and along
strike, we are now seeing base-metal associations possibly as part of a
zonation within the metal system.”

Goldstorm Zone Drill Section 109+00 NE, 111+00 NE and 114+00 NE
Section 114+00 NE is a 300 m step-out on strike from 111+00 NE and
hole GS19-47 hosts what is now the longest and deepest gold intercept on
the project to date.
Section 111+00 NE shows the consistency of the upper horizon gold grades between holes and new depth extension in hole GS19-48.
Section 109+00 NE shows four definition holes drilled this season to better outline the extent of the zone to the southeast.
Goldstorm Zone Plan Map
The Goldstorm Zone now extends more than 800 meters in strike length
and remains open along strike to the Northeast and Southwest as well as
to depth.
Goldstorm zone drill sections and the plan map are included at the bottom of the news release.
The diamond drilling program continues with two drill rigs. Additional results will be announced as they become available.
Walter Storm, Tudor Gold President and CEO, stated:
“I am very pleased to see that all nine holes drilled have reported
very good results and we have not missed on any step-out targets nor any
footwall extension holes, they were all hits. These results have proven
that we have an excellent understanding of the structure, geology and
mineralogy of this massive gold system. I am looking forward to
continuing our exploration efforts in order to unlock the full potential
of this large gold system.”
Darren Blaney, American Creek CEO, stated: “The
Goldstorm deposit continues to produced world-class intercepts that are
both deep and yet very strong close to surface. Hole GS-19-48 carries 0.725 g/t Au over 838.5m including a near surface interval of 1.048 g/t over 328.5m. It’s just one of many holes that extend to depth ending in mineralization.
In referring to the step out hole GS-19-47 (0.589 g/t Au over
1081.5m including an upper interval of 0.828 g/t Au over 301.5m and a
lower interval of 0.930 g/t Au over 207 m), Eric Sprott stated “That’s
a huge, huge, huge intersection! I’ve always thought this thing has an
easy shot of coming up with 20 million ounces of low-grade gold and
there’s nothing in these results that will deter me from thinking that,
and they’re well positioned in terms of logistics”. What we’re
really excited about is the richer intersections for hundreds of meters
close to surface throughout the entire Goldstorm system. While this
system is proving to be very deep, the reality is it’s also becoming a
rich gold system close to surface that lends itself towards the
possibility of being open pit mined”.
