To understand the value proposition of TAAT, you first have to understand some recent massive trends in the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) space:
Non-alcoholic beer has grown into a $18bn USD market
The plant-based alternative meat market is projected to hit $74bn USD by 2027
What do they have in common? Providing consumers of the original products with almost the exact same experience (taste, smell, et cetera), without the negative parts of the original products.
Enter TAAT.
Tobacco is used by 1.3bn people worldwide, with a market that exceeds $930bn USD – many of whom wish to leave nicotine behind.
Under the administration of experienced leaders from the tobacco industry, TAAT™ Global Alternatives has developed a nicotine-free and tobacco-free smoking experience (known as TAAT™), which has already launched in the USA to tremendous feedback.
Now, the company has penned a major deal to launch its Beyond Tobacco™ cigarettes into the UK and Ireland, and recently leased two new Nevada facilities, increasing total space by more than 250%.
What does this mean for the firm’s distribution plans?
We sat down with TAAT CEO Setti Coscarella to find out…

Arctic Star Exploration (ADD:TSXV / ASDZF:OTCQB ) is in the diamond finding business.
Arctic Star has spent years building up to the moment where it could say it made a discovery. Now it can. Four times over, and potentially a whole field of Kimberlites that may contain diamonds. And they have done this by merely looking where no one had considered previously.
The spring 2021 exploration program on the Diagras project, Lac de Gras district, NWT. has yielded 4 Kimberlite discoveries, the latest named Cedar, and it was found like the others; drilling a distinct EM anomaly.
This is the real secret of Arctic Star. They havet tremendous potential to revolutionize the way in which Diamonds are discovered – and become a pioneer in the exploration industry – by finding diamonds in a place where no previous explorer thought to do so. Now more than just a wild theory, Arctic Star has the team to back it up to continue the discovery process.
Here are the 3 things you need to know
1. World Class Diamond Finders
Arctic Star exploration has a highly experienced diamond exploration team previously responsible for numerous world class diamond mine discoveries. The team is led by Buddy Doyle who originally discovered Diavik Mine, Canada’s largest diamond mine in terms of carat production. Diavik’s exceptional grades make it one of the most valuable diamond mines in the world. Diavik is located in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where Arctic Star has 2 of their diamond properties.
Few geologists have seen 2 projects from discovery through to decision to mine. Mr. Doyle is recognized by his peers in the exploration industry as an authority on diamond exploration and kimberlite geology, and has authored/co-authored numerous papers on these subjects. He was awarded the 2007 Hugo Dummitt Award for excellence in Diamond exploration.
Roy Spencer – If that wasn’t enough, the geologist who discovered the multi-billion-dollar Grib Diamond Mine in Russia (see above). which is just 450 KMs away from Arctic Star’s project in Finland, has now joined Arctic’s Board of Directors! Clearly, the Arctic Star team has the credibility necessary to put forth a new thesis on how to find diamonds.
2. Brand New Exploration Model To Find Diamonds
In order to find diamonds, you need to first find Kimberlites. What are Kimberlites? Essentially, they are the rocks which contain diamonds. These kimberlite rocks are found underground in vertical structures known as kimberlite pipes. To illustrate in simple terms, see this basic image of a kimberlite pipe with kimberlite rocks inside of it. Arctic has to date, found 4 of these and plan on testing each kimberlite found for diamonds.
Kimberlite pipes are the biggest source of diamonds today. When exploration companies go looking for kimberlites, the industry standard for finding them is to look for magnetic signatures. This is done by taking a magnetic survey from the air and/or ground. with a device called a magnetometer. Now, most of you won’t understand what you are looking at – but here is an example of one of the company’s magnetic surveys on its Canadian Diagras property.
The most important thing to understand is that the industry looks for magnetic signatures ….. but Buddy Doyle and the accomplished Arctic Star team have developed a NON MAGNETIC THESIS. They believe they will find economic diamonds by locating Kimberlite that do not have a magnetic signature where previous explores sought not to look. Arctic in a sense is exploring for diamonds the opposite way the industry traditionally does. Arctic acquired property big mining company’s dropped, because they looked at them one way. Arctic is looking differently and success is occurring quickly for this small, yet accomplished exploration outfit. There are already multiple drill ready targets in 2 countries using this new way of looking for diamonds; and proven correct in one; Finland will be next to prove without a doubt Arctic HAS discovered a new way of finding diamonds.
Arctic offers multiple opportunities in 2 countries to turn the Diamond Industry on notice with a discovery.
3. Arctic Star Has Two Diamond Projects Ready To Verify Its Non-Magnetic Theory
Arctic has 2 diamond projects on which to verify its theory: Diagras in Northwest Territories of Canada and Timantti in Finland, where early exploration searching for Non-Magnetic signatures has already yielded multiple new diamond targets
A. Diagras is next to Diavik (Canada’s largest diamond mine) and has already proven Buddy’s Theory correct with 4 kimberlite discoveries to date, with plans to drill more.
B. Timantti in Finland has 3 separate target areas and 6 targets altogether identified through non-magnetic signatures as a means to find diamonds and further excel Buddy’s theory, it is the company’s goal to drill test in 2021
As Buddy Doyle and the Arctic Star team are proven correct, it will create a new discovery process for understanding how diamonds are brought to surface in areas previous explorers cared not to look. Arctic Star has the potential to create multiple discoveries and copycat companies trying to duplicate their success.
However, there is only one Buddy Doyle and Roy Spencer, which is why Arctic Star is the one Diamond Exploration Company every investor should be aware of.

Biotech companies, by their very nature, can often be difficult to understand for investors… but in order to understand Cardiol, all you have to know is that the firm is developing therapies for heart disease and heart failure through cannabidiols.
Cardiol Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing innovative anti-inflammatory therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (heart/blood vessels).
The company has received approval from the U.S. FDA to commence a Phase II/III, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of its lead clinical product, CardiolRx™.
CardiolRx™ is an ultra-pure, high concentration cannabidiol oral formulation that is pharmaceutically produced, manufactured under cGMP and THC free. (less than 10 ppm)
Cardiol is also planning a Phase II international trial of CardiolRx™ in acute myocarditis, a condition caused by inflammation in heart tissue, most common cause of sudden cardiac death in people under 35.
The company gained a huge boost this month closing its “bought deal” short form prospectus offering for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $22m. This came after upsizing from the previously announced $15m offering; and after receiving more than $10m earlier this year from the exercise of warrants and stock options.
So, the company now sits on an enviable war chest. And it has ambitious plans for the future.
David Elsley, Cardiol Therapeutics’ President & CEO, walks us through them…

Announced as of April 30, 2021, its unaudited net asset value per share was $1.22
Announcement is made based on ThreeD’s newly established practice of releasing NAV on a monthly basis as part of the Company’s ongoing response to shareholder interest in receiving periodic information
TORONTO, May 17, 2021 — ThreeD Capital Inc. (“ThreeD” or the “Company”) (CSE:IDK / OTCQB:IDKFF) a Canadian-based venture capital firm focused on opportunistic investments in companies in the junior resources and disruptive technologies sectors, announces that at April 30, 2021, its unaudited net asset value per share (“NAV”) was $1.22.
This announcement is made based on ThreeD’s newly established practice of releasing NAV on a monthly basis as part of the Company’s ongoing response to shareholder interest in receiving periodic information. NAV is calculated based on unaudited month-end financial information.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
This press release contains references to NAV or “net asset value per share” which is a non-GAAP financial measure. NAV is calculated as the value of total assets less the value of total liabilities divided by the total number of common shares outstanding as at a specific date. The term NAV does not have any standardized meaning according to GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. There is no comparable GAAP financial measure presented in ThreeD’s consolidated financial statements and thus no applicable quantitative reconciliation for such non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the measure provides information useful to its shareholders in understanding the Company’s performance, and may assist in the evaluation of the Company’s business relative to that of its peers. This data is furnished to provide additional information and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of other metrics presented in accordance with GAAP. Existing NAV of the Company is not necessarily predictive of the Company’s future performance or the NAV of the Company as at any future date.

This is is she summer where Beauce could prove through drilling it has located the hardrock source of Canada’s 1st gold-rush, one that pre-dates the Yukon and responsible for 2 of the largest nuggets found in Canada.
If they are successful they may be on to a major discovery.
What is surprising is that no one ever thought to explore the iconic historical placer deposit this way previously, even though it has been well known for 150 years. Beauce believes it has unlocked the geological puzzle that supported commercial placer production without ever understanding where the gold came from.
The project area has been exploited, but never systematically explored. Beauce has diligently carried out work over the years leading to this moment. With the first reported discovery of multiple gold bearing bedrock structures, Beauce believes they have found the likely source of the placer gold nuggets that supported the historic gold rush.
President & CEO of Beauce Gold ( BGF:TSXV ) Patrick Levasseur speaks to the importance of their recent discovery and what the future holds for this exciting SmallCap gold project.
