Beyond Meat has become an $11 BILLION company by creating products designed to emulate beef. The basis of success has come from delivering the experience meat eaters have come to love (hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.) while also achieving the goal of eating healthier.
TAAT™ Beyond Tobacco™ mimics the experiences of cigarettes without nicotine or tobacco. It is engineered to closely emulate the sensory components of smoking a tobacco cigarette, including tasting and smelling just like tobacco.
E-cigarettes and vaping have failed despite existing for 15 years, driving most smokers back to cigarettes because they only perpetuate the problem of nicotine addiction while delivering a completely different user experience to smokers.
Under the leadership of experienced veterans from the tobacco industry, including and especially Philip Morris International, TAAT™ launched in the United States Just 7 weeks ago and has already received repeat orders from more than 60% of convenience and gas station customers.
How good was this launch?
“Out of all of the tobacco category products I have worked with, TAAT™ is an outlier in terms of the level of demand it has had in its early stages. I have launched dozens of new tobacco brands across Canada as well as in the Caribbean, and while many of the new products were reordered by retailers in their first several weeks on the market, none of them were reordered by anywhere near 60% of stores that initially carried them. …. I have confidence that we could replicate these outcomes both in Ohio and in other markets where we may introduce TAAT™ in the future.” – TAAT Chief Revenue Officer Tim Corkum (former commercialization executive for Philip Morris International)
How big is the market TAAT is going after? Tobacco is used by:
34M adults in America, equating to 215 BILLION cigarettes sold in 2018
1.3 billion people worldwide
… and almost all of them aspire to leave nicotine behind. Beyond Tobacco™ from TAAT is about to give them what they want and, if they succeed, give shareholders “Beyond Belief” returns in the next 2-3 years.

Tartisan owns approximately 4 million shares of Eloro Resources
Eloro could amount to between 500 million tonnes to 1 billion tonnes at four to eight ounces silver eq grade
Discovery Hole of 129.6 grams silver equivalent over 257.5 meters
“Eloro is going to be bought out in short order” Bob Moriarty
Potosi in Bolivia is sometimes referred to as the GOAT of silver mining. That is, the Greatest Of All Time for silver. Discovered in 1545, Cerro Rico produced just over 2 billion ounces of silver at a cost of 8 million lives of slaves. If you held two and a half 100 ounce silver bars that came from Potosi, that would have cost the life of one slave, either Indian or Negro. The silver from Potosi funded the Spanish Empire for two and a half centuries. The silver went to Manila before being traded to China for tea, Chinaware and silk. The opium wars weren’t really about opium; they were about the silver riches from Potosi. Spain mined it and traded to China. China had it. Britain wanted it.
It appears Eloro is on track to pushing Potosi aside as the silver GOAT. At least if you are willing to consider silver equivalent ounces. Quinton Hennigh has done several interviews and believes Eloro could amount to between 500 million tonnes to 1 billion tonnes at four to eight ounces silver eq grade. Well, yesterday Eloro came out with brilliant assays that support Quinton’s belief and actually suggests he may have underestimated the potential. Now it seems to imply over 1 billion tonnes. If the four ounces held, Eloro would be the biggest silver story in history. Certainly the biggest silver story in the last fifty years.
Eloro has one of the strongest mining and geology teams in Peru or Bolivia. Dr. Osvaldo Acre runs the Bolivian operation. He is the world’s leading expert on Potosi type systems and literally has written the book about them. Dr. Bill Pearson who I first met when he was leading the geological team at Desert Sun fifteen years ago is the senior technical advisor. Tom Larsen is the CEO and drives the company. Quinton Hennigh also serves as a technical and business advisor.
Eloro has an option on 99% of the Iska Iska property in the very southern bit of Bolivia near Potosi. They are paying the owner 500,000 shares and $10 million USD at some point in the next four years. There is no NSR. The owner retains a 1% interest in the project.
If you look at the center of the concession outlined in blue, clearly there is a caldera. While the geological team has been focused on identifying and drilling breccia pipes with great success, they have also identified a series of more potential pipes to the east and south.
I have never seen any company move a project forward and prove their theory so quickly. In the results released on January 26th one hole measured 129.6 grams silver equivalent over 257.5 meters from the newly discovered Santa Barbara breccia pipe. The Santa Barbara pipe was discovered and announced in the November press release. Through surface mapping and Aster satellite data located yet another breccia pipe, this one named the Central Breccia Pipe measuring 700 meters by 400 meters. This latest set of assays discusses drilling into both the Santa Barbara pipe and the Central Breccis pipe. Those results have not been released yet. Those include hole DHK-02 intercepting 475 meters below surface in the Central Breccia pipe.
This is an interesting system because it has a variety of minerals of economic value including almost an ounce of silver, some gold, lead, zinc, tin, bismuth, indium and cadmium. Quinton Hennigh did up a spreadsheet with the values from the 257-meter hole and it showed a total in the ground value of $103 US per tonne. That would make 500 million tonnes worth somewhere in the $50 billion USD range.
Eloro is going to be bought out in short order, I’m talking 6-12 months. They are fully financed for a planned 14,000 meters of drilling both from surface and from underground. Due to drill limits, the underground drilling is pretty much limited to 350 meters but they can drill 1.2 km holes from the surface.
Today’s price action gives the company about a $190 million CAD market cap. The price is going to be up and down like a bride’s nightie but in six months it’s going to be a hell of a lot higher.
The shares were as cheap as $2.10 a week ago and hit $4.11 on Wednesday the 27th for almost double in a week. While they were cheap a week ago, they got expensive in a hurry. There is a backdoor way to buy shares that have not yet exploded higher yet. Cartier Iron, a gold company run by Tom Larsen, CEO of ELO, happens to own 2.09 million shares of ELO. At today’s highest price for Eloro, the shares held by Cartier were worth more than their entire market cap. The shares were 25% higher ten days ago. That situation won’t last for long.
Eloro and Cartier are both advertisers. I have bought shares in the open market and participated in private placements for both companies. As always do your own due diligence.
