The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) Maintains Lofty Growth Expectations for 2019

The Green Organic Dutchman is building on a series of agreements to scale up its cannabis production operations in Canada, Jamaica, Europe and Latin America
The Company’s first crop goes on sale soon to an exclusive loyalty group of patients and investors
The Dutchman’s production strategy envisions 80,000 kilograms of cultivation by the end of this year en route to 219,000-kilogram buildout by 2021
The company’s focus is on a premium organic brand built to high standards of environmental friendliness

Canada’s prime mover efforts to legalize the use of cannabis nationwide, not only as a medicinal substance but also as a wellness-enhancing consumable and a recreational drug, has made it a fertile field for entrepreneurial innovation and a friend to innovative business operations such as The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX: TGOD) (OTCQX: TGODF) – an Ontario-based producer of 100 percent-certified organic cannabis with an expanding footprint.

The Green Organic Dutchman, also known simply by its ticker, ‘TGOD’, was described by cannabis news outlet The Motley Foollast year as one of Canada’s top seven marijuana growers, thanks largely to the company’s plans to produce some 200,000 kilograms (about 440,000 pounds) in annual yield when it reaches full capacity. While construction of its almost 1.7 million square feet of cultivation facilities across Ontario, Quebec, and Jamaica (http://ibn.fm/YjquT) continues, TGOD has been cultivating in Ontario on a small scale since 2016 and began delivering its first commercial crop to an exclusive loyalty pool of patients and investors this month (http://ibn.fm/FDD5c).

The first phase of construction at the Ontario site is expected to be complete during the second quarter of this year, establishing an enclosed facility capable of producing 2,000 kilograms of cannabis. The company will then continue, with a hybrid facility capable of 14,500 kilograms expected to be completed in Q2 as well. At the Quebec site, which will reach 185,000 kilograms of organic cannabis at buildout, the first cultivation is expected in the fourth quarter of this year.

When the company’s purpose-built hybrid greenhouses are complete, they will stand as a testament to the Dutchman’s commitment to minimizing its environmental impact. They are expected to be among the largest LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) system-certified facilities in the world and will also be completed to European Union good manufacturing practice (“eGMP”) standards in anticipation of expansion into that market.

TGOD has chosen to reject irradiation of its product — a process that can extend the shelf life of foods, but also one that adversely affects the terpenes in cannabis that are responsible for scent and flavor. Likewise, the company uses carbon dioxide rather than solvents or additives to extract oils from cannabis with minimal environmental impact.

Earlier this month, TGOD announced an agreement to supply cannabis to the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation (“OCRC”), the latest in a series of ventures that include product distribution in Denmark, Jamaica, Mexico and Poland. The OCRC is the only legal online store for recreational cannabis in Ontario and will also become the provincial wholesaler of cannabis for private retail stores once the regulatory framework is in place this spring.

A run-rate timeline published by the company shows that it expects to go from producing over 20,000 kilograms of cannabis by the third quarter of this year to more than 80,000 kilograms by the fourth quarter, and then to 219,000 kilograms by the third quarter of 2021 (http://ibn.fm/QTjgn).

TGOD’s agreement with global power management company Eaton Corp. is also enabling it to increase its revenue margins, because Eaton is providing TGOD with some of the lowest electricity input costs in the business as part of a research and optimization project that Eaton is using to advance its profile in cannabis growing power management and lighting on a global scale. The agreement is one more example of the Dutchman’s foresight in executing productive partnerships to establish a low-cost, high-quality product that will benefit the consumer.

Tinley Beverage Company (CSE: TNY) (OTCQX: TNYBF) Provides Pure-Play Access to the Cannabis-Infused Beverage Market

Tinley Beverage Company is the first public company to market with cannabis-infused beverages that authentically mirror popular liquors, without the alcohol content
With a sole focus on THC-infused beverages and operations in the U.S.’s largest beverage market (and cannabis market), Tinley represents an efficient, pure-play vehicle for investing in the growth of the burgeoning cannabis beverage sector

Working in collaboration with a California-based tequila formulator, Los Angeles-based Tinley Beverage Company (CSE: TNY) (OTCQX: TNYBF) has developed a line of ready-made, alcohol-free, cannabis-infused beverages that are made with authentic extracts, ethers, flavors and spices that are found in the world’s favorite cocktails and spirits (http://ibn.fm/azl7c). Doses range from 5mg THC per bottle for its single-serve, pre-mixed cocktails to over 40mg THC per bottle for its hard liquor-inspired products. These products enable consumers to enjoy familiar beverage formats in recreational settings, but with a mild tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) “high” instead of an alcohol effect.

Tinley President Rick Gillis was previously president of Young’s Market Company, a $3 billion beverage alcohol distributor based in California. Tinley’s team also includes past presidents, GMs and C-level executives from Cott (the third-largest beverage company globally after Coke and Pepsi), Coke, Dan Aykroyd Wines and Crystal Head Vodka.

Upon signing a partnership in Canada with the Hydropothecary Corporation (TSX: HEXO), Mark R. Hunter, CEO of Molson Coors (NYSE: TAP) (TSX: TPX.A) (TSX: TPX.B), a $5 billion global brewer, suggested that cannabis-infused beverages could grow to 20-30 percent of the overall cannabis industry. With Canada’s Bank of Montreal forecasting that the global cannabis industry will grow to $194 billion within seven years, this estimate suggests that the cannabis beverage category could grow to $38-58 billion during this time.

Tinley is uniquely positioned as a leading vehicle for public market investors to participate in this expected growth. It has a head start with beverages in market, an all-star team, an ideal location and, perhaps most importantly, a singular focus on beverages. This singular focus – without participation in cultivation, extraction, edibles, retail, hemp seed or non-cannabis drinks – effectively positions Tinley as an efficient, pure-play vehicle for investing in the growth of the rapidly-emerging cannabis beverage category.

Southern California is the U.S.’s largest conventional beverage market for a reason – year-round sunshine, 200+ million tourist visits annually, affluent cities and nearly 40 million people within an eight-hour shipping radius. These factors should also drive the success of the cannabis beverage industry in the state, particularly given California’s standing as the country’s largest cannabis market. With products already on the market in California, Tinley has a head start in terms of brand awareness, scaled production expertise and consumer marketing techniques – all of which it plans to leverage elsewhere in the U.S., as well as in Canada once drinks become legal later in 2019.

Cannabis investors are increasingly interested in shifting their portfolios to downstream cannabis products (e.g. branded edibles, capsules, topicals and drinks) and services (e.g. manufacturing, distribution and retail). However, it can be challenging for investors to pick individual product winners. Tinley solves this problem by giving its investors exposure to a highly diversified lineup of Tinley-branded products, as well as an increasing lineup of beverages that Tinley produces at its facilities on behalf of third-party co-packing clients. Its facility is capable of bottling for sodas, de-alcoholized wines and beers, fruit juices, coffees and other popular beverage categories, thereby giving Tinley’s investors exposure to a broad product lineup, as well as revenue from beverage infrastructure services.

“Cannabis beverages stand to become one of the fastest-growing categories within the cannabis industry, and these products are increasingly proving to be synergistic with beverage alcohol and other CPG (consumer packaged goods) products,” former alcohol distributor Young’s Market Company President Richard Gillis stated in a news release when he was named the president of Tinley’s California division in November 2018 (http://ibn.fm/cExeC).

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) Growing Revenues with Commitment to High-Quality Cannabis

Supreme Cannabis Company pursuing new opportunities to build innovative cannabis businesses worldwide
Its unique 7ACRES licensed producer subsidiary sets the company apart
Supreme Cannabis is experiencing significant revenue growth

The Supreme Cannabis Company Inc. (TSX: FIRE) (OTCQX: SPRWF) (FRA: 53S1) actively concentrates on its mission to grow sustainable cannabis businesses. Since 2014, the Toronto, Canada-based company has been at the center of the cannabis space, including forming 7ACRES as the first licensed producer focused on growing high-quality cannabis in high quantities. Supreme Cannabis’ wholly owned operating subsidiary and flagship brand, 7ACRES is committed to delivering on the company’s “craft quality, commercial scale” mantra.

Supreme Cannabis Company’s impressive growth also stems from its strong portfolio, powerful distribution partners and impressive industry agreements, including a one-year C$12 million supply agreement with Tilray Inc. to support medical cannabis patients (http://ibn.fm/X4bbe). Another industry agreement includes an exclusive consulting services agreement with Khalifa Kush Enterprises Canada ULC (an affiliate of Khalifa Kush Enterprises LLC), with an aim to develop and bring to market a line of premium cannabis products, including pre-rolls, extracts, capsules and cannabis oils, which Supreme Cannabis will sell under the KKE brand (http://ibn.fm/r8Jtu).

Regarding its portfolio, 7ACRES is positioned to become Canada’s foremost cultivator of consistently first-rate commercial cannabis. One of Canada’s first 40 federally licensed cannabis producers, 7ACRES operates a 440,000-square-foot facility in Kincardine, Ontario, and was federally licensed to begin production on March 11, 2016 (http://ibn.fm/Lc5Re).

Supreme Cannabis’ state-of-the-art greenhouse, technology and careful cultivation practices underwent development to enable 7ACRES to grow premier cannabis sustainably and at scale. In essence, 7ACRES merges the best practices in indoor cannabis cultivation with the strength of the sun. The result is indoor-quality buds with sun-grown characteristics. 7ACRES was recognized as ‘Brand of the Year’ at the 2018 Canadian Cannabis Awards presented by Lift & Company (http://ibn.fm/Dpk1F).

Pertaining to distribution, Supreme Cannabis has supply agreements in place throughout eight Canadian provinces, as well as a partnership with Medigrow Lesotho Limited targeting the export of medical cannabis oil for the international market. Moreover, Supreme Cannabis has partnerships with Canadian cannabis retailers, including Aurora Cannabis, Emerald Health Botanicals, Namaste, Zenabis and others, to further its distribution in the medical cannabis market (http://ibn.fm/R0GcG).

Supreme Cannabis Company is seeing its initiatives bear fruit in increased revenues. For Q2 2019, the company’s revenue was $7.72 million, a 359 percent increase over revenue of $1.68 million in Q2 2018. Furthermore, that figure represents a 50 percent increase from Q1 2019 revenues of $5.14 million (http://ibn.fm/v9mPB).

In a news release, Navdeep Dhaliwal, chief executive officer of Supreme Cannabis, noted, “We’re pleased with our second-quarter results, which show meaningful revenue growth quarter over quarter and continue to reflect our strong operational execution. Since Supreme received its license more than two years ago, we have been one of the fastest scaling licensed producers in Canada, demonstrated by one of the strongest first years of revenue in the sector.”

With a vision of being a worldwide cannabis leader, Supreme Cannabis Company continues to identify new opportunities to build unique cannabis businesses globally. The company estimates it can reach full production capacity in 2019, which would mean an increase from its present 17,500 kg to 50,000 kg annual production. For investors, Supreme Cannabis Company offers the potential for sustained growth in the dynamic cannabis sector.

Icon Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: IEX.H) Plans to Enter Canadian Cannabis Market, Bring Modernization to Edibles, Capsules and Oils

Icon Exploration Inc.’s vision is to be a leader in Canada’s medicinal and recreational cannabis markets
Icon’s strategy is to acquire through a reverse merger with a vertically integrated cannabis company
Acquisition would give Icon a 40,000-square-foot cultivation facility and an option on a 125,000-square-foot farm/extraction space

Icon Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: IEX.H) has set its sights on entering the Canadian cannabis industry, which Deloitte predicts will surpass $7 billion this year, including $4.4 billion in legalized recreational cannabis alone (http://ibn.fm/vEayT). To enter this market, Icon anticipates a reverse merger with cannabis company City View Green (“CVG”), which has already applied to Health Canada for an ACMPR license (http://ibn.fm/G33gt).

Icon Exploration is pursuing a strategy of vertical integration. The company plans to “use the burgeoning market as a platform to bring modernization to other verticals, specifically with regard to cannabis derivatives and extracts,” such as edibles, tinctures, capsules and oils (http://ibn.fm/tTY9K).

With the move, Icon would acquire CVG’s planned 40,000-square-foot growing facility in Brantford, Ontario. In addition, Icon would obtain 125,000 square feet of space that could be used for the production of cannabis vertical products, which could play a key role in the company’s marketing strategy.

“We’re entering the market at just the right time. We’re getting in at the second inning of a long ball game,” Icon Exploration CEO Rob Fia saod in an interview last year with Postmedia Content Works (http://ibn.fm/o8D2A). “There’s a lot of room to be a powerful entry into the space, and once the market sees what we’ve done here, it will be very exciting.”

Deloitte’s second report on Canada’s cannabis market, ‘A Society in Transition, an Industry Ready to Bloom’, projects that more than half — or $4.34 billion — of the estimated $7 billion in sales seen this year will come from legal recreational cannabis. Another $1.79 billion is forecast to come from medical cannabis, while the illegal market could ring up more than $1 billion in sales, per Deloitte.

Therma Bright Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) Building Health and Wellness Profile by Prioritizing Skin Care

Cosmeceutical industry forecasts anticipate $73 billion market for cosmetic skin care products utilizing active chemical ingredients by 2023
Therma Bright is using trademarked infrared head technologies to target skin viruses and establish a protective barrier for the human body’s largest organ
Company is also exploring cannabidiol’s properties as augmenting agent for thermal technologies in fighting pain

Far from being mere tissue, skin is the human body’s largest and fastest-growing organ and a vital protection against harm to all of the body’s other organs and the systems that regulate their function (http://ibn.fm/4AO39), which provides an obvious reason for trying to keep skin healthy. Therma Bright Inc. (TSX.V: THRM) (OTC: THRBF) is focusing its business mission on the development of innovative technologies that strengthen and sustain the body’s outer layer and help people to live healthier lives as a result.

The key to Therma Bright’s vision of enhancing health and wellness is to employ trademarked infrared heat technology against agents that attack the skin, such as insect stings, bites and viruses. The company’s TherOZap technology is a first-generation medical device approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the relief of the symptoms of skin pain, itch and inflammation, but Therma Bright has been working on a corollary product that may establish a barrier against stinging and biting insects to combat the Zika virus and other mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue.

Therma Bright is testing final prototypes of the technology against the Zika virus at a research laboratory in a process that’s expected to take several months (http://ibn.fm/KlXYA). Initial pre-clinical test results announced last year, when the company was named Jenex, indicated that Toronto, Canada’s Techna Institute had found TherOZap effective for the inactivation of live Zika virus in culture media and the inhibition of Zika virus infection into cultured cells in vitro, according to a company news release (http://ibn.fm/gSwaT).

Those findings led Robert A. Poggie, a regulatory consultant for the FDA, to declare, “Pre-clinical testing of the TherOZap technology indicates effectiveness in inhibiting Zika virus, which holds promise for the US FDA accepting marketing claims and associated data via 510(k) review,” according to the news release.

A second trademarked Therma Bright technology, InterceptCS, has also received some regulatory recognition for the treatment of cold sores by killing cells infected with the herpes simplex Type 1 virus. Based on a double-blind placebo study, InterceptCS is approved for the claim, “For prevention of cold sores when used within three hours of the onset of the prodrome” by Health Canada. The InterceptCS technology is not, however, approved by the United States’ FDA for any claim of clinical indication, clinical efficacy and/or cure or prevention of disease at this time.

InterceptCS delivers controlled topical heat with no risk of burning the skin as it targets the cold sore virus-infected cells. The company’s technologies are representative of a broader cosmeceutical industry that produces products with cosmetic applications of active potential chemical ingredients.

Industry forecasts anticipate a growing worldwide market for cosmeceuticals, with one prediction forecasting growth at a CAGR of 8.21 percent between 2017 and 2023, when the market is expected to reach about $73 billion (http://ibn.fm/q6Ew2).

Therma Bright is also turning to the positive word of mouth surrounding cannabidiol (“CBD”) for testing the cannabis plant-derived active ingredient in concert with the company’s thermal products as a means of enhancing pain relief therapies (http://ibn.fm/5mAes).

QualityStocksNewsBreaks – QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) Visualizes Spodumene at Irgon Lithium Mine Project

QMC Quantum Minerals Corp. (OTC: QMCQF) (TSX.V: QMC) (FSE: 3LQ) this morning announced its completion of the first phase of holes at its 100 percent-owned Irgon Lithium Mine Project located within the prolific Cat Lake-Winnipeg River rare-element pegmatite field of southeastern Manitoba. With diamond drill and support crew on-site, QMC reported visual spodumene, and the core was removed to a secure, off-site location for logging, cutting and sampling. QMC is currently completing phase one of a two-phase drill program designed to confirm and subsequently expand the historic resource published for the Irgon Property (1.2 million tons grading 1.51 percent Li2O, as previously calculated for Lithium Corporation of Canada). Phase one of the program consists of 1,500m of NQ drilling in 12 holes, with the first eight confirming the grades and widths documented by the historic 1953-54 drill results. The four remaining holes will chase the Irgon Dike westward from the area hosting the original resource to test the spodumene-bearing pegmatites identified as the western extension of the Irgon Dike, thus confirming its westward continuity.

Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) Rises to the Challenge

Immersed in competitive U.S. market, PLUS rose from 12th to number one
PLUS benefits from the expertise of Michelin-star chefs, Ivy League chemists and others
Company donates a portion of proceeds from limited edition products to the National Park Foundation and the Trevor Project

Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQB: PLPRF) recognized early that the strongest brands in the cannabis industry would emerge from California. California is the largest market in the world, expected to reach $5 billion in legal sales this year. The state also has a long history of medical legalization, making it the most competitive market available. The pressure and challenge of being immersed with the best in the business launched PLUS to the number one best-selling edible brand in California during Q3 2018 (http://ibn.fm/AFfte).

“Plus Products is a cannabis manufacturing product company, and our vision is to build the strongest cannabis brand,” Jake Heimark, CEO and co-founder of PLUS, stated in a Business Television segment (http://ibn.fm/nwIbp). “In the last year, PLUS moved from about 12th in edibles in California to being the number one edible company in what is the largest cannabis market in the world.”

PLUS’ products are exclusively available in California. The company’s cannabis-infused gummy candy is created to support a healthy, active lifestyle and sells in over 200 licensed dispensaries and delivery services.

The company utilizes the expertise of Michelin-star chefs, Ivy League chemists, food manufacturing experts, engineers, machinists, visionaries, creatives, strategists and others in executing its strategy. The goal is to create dosable and delicious products that provide a consistent experience.

PLUS rolls out limited-edition cannabis-infused gummies with the seasons. The current limited edition is Pink Lemonade Refresh, and a portion of the proceeds from this product will be donated to the National Parks Foundation. Last summer, the limited edition was a rainbow sorbet, with a portion of each purchase donated to the Trevor Project, a confidential suicide hotline for LGBT youth.

PLUS focuses on four consistent cannabis-infused gummies sold year-round and exclusively in California:

Blackberry & Lemon RESTORE
Sour Watermelon UPLIFT
Pineapple & Coconut CBD RELIEF
Sour Blueberry CREATE

Every PLUS product is made from scratch with carefully sourced high-quality extracts and kosher ingredients.

In addition to the company’s rise in the ranks, it was added to the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol ‘PLPRF’ on January 23, 2019. The company will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol ‘PLUS’.

“We are pleased to be approved to trade on the OTCQB platform and expect to access a greater range of U.S. institutional and retail investors, while at the same time providing U.S. investors access to our securities on a recognized U.S. securities trading platform,” Heimark said in a recent press release (http://ibn.fm/cJeik). “We have a strong U.S. investor base, and this will allow us to provide greater transparency to our current and future shareholders.”
