CannabisFN Weekly: Stocks Tread Water amid Regulatory Gains

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:06 PM on Tuesday, June 17th, 2014

Whitefish, MT / June 17, 2014 / The Marijuana Index(tm) traded roughly even last week, although the sector remains well below its highs achieved earlier this year.

Top gainers included Fusion Pharm Inc. (OTC: FSPM), which rose more than 70% last week driven by technical trading, and Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (OTC: NDEV), which rose over 13% last week after making some executive appointments. Top losers included Extreme Biodiesel Inc. (OTC: XTRM) and IMD Companies Inc. (OTC: ICBU), which both fell more than 10% last week.

Cannabis regulatory initiatives also continued to pick up steam last week. In the U.S., Colorado announced the largest grant yet to be dedicated to medical marijuana research. Internationally, Mexico’s president indicated that the country may follow the U.S.’s lead when it comes to legalizing cannabis. Change may be happening slowly, but it appears to be headed towards liberalization over the long run.

What to Watch This Week

The cannabis sector traded roughly even last week, with some gainers and losers offsetting each other for the most part. Bellwethers like GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH) rose nearly 8%, however, signaling that institutional investor interest remains high for companies able to capitalize on it. This week, traders should watch for more progress on the regulatory front to drive price action.

For information or to register as an attendee or exhibitor, visit either www.greenrushconferences.com or http://www.nextgenmetalsinc.com

GreenRush Financial Conferences (GRFC) are planned for across Canada, the US and Europe. GRFC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Next Gen Metals and is fast becoming the Premier Purveyor of Investment Conferences for the Medical Marijuana, Industrial Hemp and Alternative Medicine Industries.

Speakers at the Toronto Conference are still being added, but will include Josh Stanley, Strains of Hope, GenCanna Global, Jodie Emery, owner of Cannabis Culture, Harry Barr, CEO of Next Gen, Anndrea Hermann, president of the Hemp Industries Assoc., Chuck Rifici, President & CEO Tweed Marijuana Inc, Alan Schroepfer Maui’s Top alternative medicine expert, Chris Bunka, CEO of Lexaria Corp, Deloitte, International Accountants, Chris Parry of Stockhouse, Richard Carleton, CEO, Canadian Securities Exchange. Craig Goodwin CEO of Naturally Splendid and David Stadnyk of Supreme Pharmaceuticals. As well, there will speakers representing finance as well as legal, retail and related trade associations.

As well as an impressive lineup of speakers, there is a jammed packed exhibitor hall with representatives from public and private companies from these three industries. The exhibitors are focused on but not limited to, health and education, government, investment dealers, financial professionals, media, science and technology, legal advisors and consultants to these multi-billion dollar industries.

A hundred and fifty years ago, Harry Barr’s (President and CEO of Next Gen Metals (N:CSE) (OTC Pink:NXTTF)), ancestors began farming in the Ottawa Valley. As far back as pre WWII, the family farm was producing hemp, which in those days was used primarily for rope for the War Act. Hemp amongst its many uses is the strongest natural fiber in the world.

At 23, a young Harry Barr graduated from the University of Guelph in Agribusiness and began a career that forged him into a global mining executive and financier. Barr notes that since 1985, every exploration company he has started is still in business today.

Now, Barr’s companies objective is to seize the opportunity to incubate and mentor select management teams that have the technical savvy, but require the business acumen that any new or expanding industry needs; be it fundraising, complex negotiation skills, capital markets expertise, public company administration or IPO’s.

“The Medical Marijuana business is slowly recapitalizing the junior mining industry in Canada,” stated Harry Barr, CEO of Next Gen. “But more than that, it is quickly bringing together the legal and professional industry forces necessary to give a complex, highly regulated market the visibility and transparency that investors require.”

Barr’s quote that the Medical Marijuana Industry is recapitalizing junior mining is a result of the fact is that Canadian Securities Laws have allowed for thousands of Venture Capital companies to be formed. Given the mining downturn of the last three years, many of these entrepreneurs with proven fund raising and capital market abilities are now leading their shareholders into these new multibillion-dollar industries.

Barr and his dedicated finance and development team are investment pioneers, using mining parlance and their investment experience, staking the Company’s claim in the Medical Marijuana space well before most others. Unlike some other small cap public companies that are fortune hunters, from Day One, his approach was not knee-jerk opportunism, but a well thought out business strategy utilizing decades of business acumen to add consistent shareholder value.

Management of Next Gen as well as other entrepreneurs involved in the Green Rush conference are veteran professionals at fundraising and all aspects of running public and private companies. Next Gen intends to extend its brand to this industry and is actively seeking and reviewing new business plans. It intends to be a leader in the space and the go-to Company for legal marijuana and industrial hemp and alternative medical investments.

Barr and his mining team are not abandoning their mining roots and projects. As CEO, Chairman and Director of Pacific North West Capital Corp (TSX-V:PFN), (OTCQB:PAWEF) he is also Chairman and CEO of El Nino Ventures (TSX-V:ELN), (OTC Pink:ELNOF), President of Next Gen Minerals (CSE:N) (OTC Pink:NXTTF) and Chairman of Southern Sun Minerals (TSX-V:SSI). Pacific North West Capital Corp is a controlling shareholder of Next Gen (22%), approximately 10% of El Nino Ventures and has a modest but important stake in Southern Sun Minerals.

Case in point is the recent deal with MMG whereby El Nino announced a multi-million dollar cash payment and 15 Million dollar project exploration commitment on its African copper projects. Management was also able to negotiate a 1.5% net smelter royalty for its shareholders on not only its Kasala project but on the three additional 70% owned concessions located in the Democratic republic of Congo. El Nino signed this agreement with MMG one of the world’s largest producers of zinc and significant producers of copper, lead, gold, and silver. MMG limited owns and operates the Kinsevere high-grade copper mine located approximately 30km from El Nino’s projects.

El Nino’s Kasala project is one of the newest copper discoveries in the central African copper belt and may someday provide additional feed for MMG’s extremely large and hungry local mine. El Nino also has joint ventures with 2 other world-class companies Glencore Canada and Votorantim Metals Canada in the Bathurst mining district of the New Brunswick Canada. For more information go to on El Nino ventures or the International Metals Group companies go to www.elninoventures.com or http://www.internationalmetalsgroup.com/.

While the medical Marijuana, industrial Hemp and Alternative Medicine industries represent unique investment opportunities, it is important for investors and all interested parties to arm themselves with the facts in this complex, burgeoning market. Investors should focus on companies where the directors insure management is highly regulated and the companies have completed stringent due diligence to develop the most growth-oriented alliances and partnerships. Only then will they will companies ultimately allow for successful completion of their business plans. Only stringent due diligence and extensive research will allow the intelligent investor to select the next corporate leaders in these new industries from the corporate fortune hunters.

To register for this extremely important conference, as an attendee or exhibitor, visit either www.greenrushconferences.com or www.nextgenmineralsinc.com.

Next Gen looks forward to welcoming you in Toronto on June 26th.

St-Georges Receives Positive Title Opinion On Zambian Projects

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:25 AM on Monday, June 9th, 2014

Montreal, Quebec / June 9, 2014 / St-Georges Platinum and Base Metals Ltd. (OTCQX: SXOOF) (CSE: SX) (FSE: 85G1) is pleased to report it has received positive title opinion in relation to the mining production and mining exploration licenses it is acquiring in Zambia.

Significance of title verification and title opinion

The title verification and title opinion brings St-Georges closer to the completion of the current on-going due diligence process for acquisition of the Mwininlunga and Shongwa mining projects. Mwininlunga currently produces Copper Concentrate with plans to potentially expand to 20,000 tonnes per month. On Shongwa, the Company expects to initiate work on a NI 43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment Study later in early 2015.

Mark Billings, St-Georges Chairman and Director, stated: “The title opinion we received from KCK is an important milestone  along with the completion of the analysis of available geological and engineering data which should be on track with the previously announced schedule, it should provide enough comfort to recommend to our shareholders to endorse this acquisition. We received a fair amount of interest for these projects and are pleased with the response from the financial community in relation to the Company’s plan to move forward in Zambia.”

Mandate of KCK & Associates

In the course of the due diligence process, St-Georges hired KCK & Associates as independent legal advisors to establish its Zambian subsidiary and to assist the Company in the process of title and permit verification. KCK & Associates is a law firm established in Lusaka, Zambia that specializes in Corporate and Mining Law. The firm works for an extensive array of clients in the mining sector and with Governmental entities.

About the Zambian Projects

The Mwinilunga Copper-Cobalt-Gold Project.

US House of Representatives Votes to Stop Medical Marijuana Raids

Medical marijuana, experiencing a huge spark with a recent outcry of public support across the United States, has now spread to members of Congress, as the U.S. House of Representatives votes to stop federal raids on those who use medical marijuana. Last Thursday evening the House passed an amendment that would prevent the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) from pursuing individuals and patients in states where medical use of the drug is legal.

Coming as a pleasant surprise to many citizens across the U.S., the House’s decision reached across party lines, with both Democrats and Republicans showing their support of the amendment with their votes. In a 219 to 189 decision the amendment, led by California Democratic Representative Sam Farr and California Republican Dana Rohrabacher, is the first amendment of its kind to succeed in the House of Representatives.

While the amendment was able to pass mainly due to vast support from Democratic members of the House, there was an observable majority of Republican votes cast in support of the said measure. For this to have happened, the amendment had already been previously backed by a group of co-sponsors from the two opposing parties.

The issue faced in the decision to stop medical marijuana raids was the fact that there was a “routine spending bill” which had been already in place. This allowed for federal tax dollars to be awarded to various government agencies, especially the Justice Department. In turn, the Justice Department has continued its raids of medical marijuana facilities in states across the country where medicinal sales are allowed and adhere to legal terms. However, the new amendment recently passed by the House hopes to prevent federal agencies from continuing these raids henceforth.

Director of Federal Policies at the Marijuana Policy Project Dan Riffle stated that Congress and the overall federal government have begun their shift toward “a more sensible policy” regarding pot, facing strong public pressure. He also made the statement that this vote is historically important after years of the government-initiated “war on drugs” during Ronald Reagan’s years in the White House.

While some critics have made their case that the amendment would only increase the misuse of an “addictive drug” and prevent the DEA from spotting illegal street dealers, House Republican Andy Harris stated in response how other drugs that are addictive have not been advertised as having positive medical benefits.

Unlike marijuana, which many health experts agree has improved patients’ general health, legal substances like nicotine and tobacco cause cancer and have not showed any positive medicinal benefits in any instance. As Harris said, “Nobody writes a prescription and says ‘Smoke a couple of cigarettes and cure your epilepsy.’”

As the U.S. House of Representatives votes to stop medical marijuana raids in the future through the passing of this new amendment, it faces other obstacles as it still needs approval from both the Senate and President Barack Obama. Yet many people across the country, including advocates, patients, doctors, average citizens, and an increasing number of politicians, remain steadfast in their hopes of a nearing reality of both the ultimate decriminalization and legalization of marijuana in the U.S.

Lexaria and Enertopia Update LOI with Signed Definitive Joint Venture Agreement

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:08 AM on Thursday, May 29th, 2014

 

Kelowna, BC / May 29, 2014 / Lexaria Corp. (LXRP-OTCQB) (LXX-CSE) (the “Company” or “Lexaria”) announces it has signed the definitive Joint Venture agreement as required in the Letter of Intent that was first announced with Enertopia Corp on April 10, 2014.

The Definitive Joint Venture agreement was contemplated at the time of signing the initial April 10, 2014 Letter of Intent, and governs the procedures and practices by which the marijuana production facility in the Greater Toronto Area will be operated. As previously reported, Lexaria is paying 55% of costs in order to earn a 49% interest in the facility.

The municipal approval process continues to proceed for this facility, located in the Greater Toronto Area. Neither the LOI nor the Definitive Agreement has any bearing or relationship with the newer Eastern Ontario proposed facility announced on May 27, which itself will be owned and operated 100% by Lexaria.

Separately, the Company announces that 50,000 stock options priced at $0.10 have been exercised and Lexaria has received $5,000 in payment.

The Company makes forward-looking public statements concerning its expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, financing plans, business strategy, products and services, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, including statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “if,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are estimates reflecting the Company’s best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that other factors will not affect the accuracy of such forward-looking statements. It is impossible to identify all such factors but they include and are not limited to the existence of underground deposits of commercial quantities of oil and gas; cessation or delays in exploration because of mechanical, weather, operating, financial or other problems; capital expenditures that are higher than anticipated; or exploration opportunities being fewer than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that road or site conditions will be favorable for field work; no assurance that well treatments or workovers will have any effect on oil or gas production; no assurance that oil field interconnections will have any measurable impact on oil or gas production or on field operations, and no assurance that any expected new well(s) will be drilled or have any impact on the Company. There can be no assurance that expected oil and gas production will actually materialize; and thus no assurance that expected revenue will actually occur. There is no assurance the Company will have sufficient funds to drill additional wells, or to complete acquisitions or other business transactions. Such forward looking statements also include estimated cash flows, revenue and current and/or future rates of production of oil and natural gas, which can and will fluctuate for a variety of reasons; oil and gas reserve quantities produced by third parties; and intentions to participate in future exploration drilling. Adverse weather conditions including but not limited to surface flooding can delay operations, impact production, and cause reductions in revenue. The Company may not have sufficient expertise to thoroughly exploit its oil and gas properties. The Company may not have sufficient funding to thoroughly explore, drill or develop its properties. Access to capital, or lack thereof, is a major risk and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise required working capital. Current oil and gas production rates may not be sustainable and targeted production rates may not occur. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those estimated by the Company include, but are not limited to, government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation, competition and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company’s public announcements and filings. There is no assurance that the medical marijuana business will provide any benefit to Lexaria, and no assurance that any proposed new facility will be built or proceed, nor that municipal or Health Canada regulatory approvals will be obtained. There is no assurance that the municipality where the building is located will grant its approval for a medical marijuana production facility.
