In this episode, we have a returning guest who appeared in Jan 2025 (Episode 497), Juan Carlos, President and CEO of Canstar Resources, a TSX-Venture listed junior miner focused on mineral exploration in Newfoundland, Canada. Juan has 15 years of experience in executive management, capital markets, finance, and commercial and strategic development. Juan gives us an update on proceedings since we last spoke, their new JV agreement, VMS deposits, and why they are attractive propositions, their recently launched deep geophysics survey update, and discusses their unique board and what they bring to the company and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS CanStar Resources has entered a significant joint venture with VMS Mining Corporation, which involves a phased investment totalling $11.5 million for a 60% ownership stake in CanStar's VMS assets. This structure is designed to be non-dilutive for existing shareholders. The Buckins District in Newfoundland is historically significant for its high-grade VMS deposits. CanStar's projects, Buckins and Mary March, are located in this area, which has seen limited exploration using modern geophysical techniques, suggesting substantial untapped potential. CanStar is also exploring its Golden Bay project, which has significant antimony potential. Antimony is critical for military and high-tech applications, and its rising demand presents a strategic opportunity for the company. CanStar plans to advance its exploration programs at both the Buckins and Mary March projects, with ongoing geophysical surveys and drilling activities. The company aims to execute its strategy efficiently in 2025, leveraging its partnerships and expertise to drive discoveries. BEST MOMENTS "CanStar Resources is a TSX-V listed junior that's focused on transforming neglected mineral systems into strategic assets for the next supercycle." "This joint venture... is non-dilutive and it's serious capital in the ground on an accelerated basis, really looking for a tier one discovery." "VMS deposits are very interesting in part because they're polymetallic... they give you economic flexibility and exposure to not only critical metals, but also precious metals." "The best place to look for a new deposit is in the shadow of the headframe." "Antimony is a mineral that is absolutely critical for military and high technology applications."

Dave Erfle, Founder and Editor of Junior Miner Junky, joins us to discuss the powerful shift now unfolding across the junior mining sector. After years of capital scarcity, junior exploration companies, even those with sub-$10M market caps, are suddenly raising millions in oversubscribed financings. What's driving the turnaround?   Dave explains how the breakout in GDX/GDXJ earlier this year is fueling a rotation into earlier-stage juniors, with smart money moving down the food chain. The TSX Venture is showing technical strength, silver juniors are outperforming, and M&A activity is picking up across the silver space.   We discuss: The surge in financings across micro-cap juniors Capital rotation from producers to exploration plays The silver catch-up trade and gold:silver ratio compression What to look for in development-stage funding (and what to avoid) Jurisdictions gaining favor - is Mexico back? Dave also shares when he takes profits, how he spots takeover targets, and why quality still matters, even in the high-risk junior phase.   Click here to visit the Junior Miner Junky website to learn more about Dave's investment letter. 

Taj Singh, CEO, and Adam Cegielski, President of First Nordic Metals (TSX.V: FNM) (OTCQB: FNMCF), join me to discuss their recent listing on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Sweden, diamond drilling at the high-priority Aida Target at their 100% owned Paubäcken Project, other key targets for this year's 25,000 meter exploration program at the Harpsund (Paubäcken) or Nippas (Storjuktan) targets, recent analyst coverage, and their inclusion into the TSX Venture Top 50 companies.   We start off having Adam outline the significance of First Nordic Metals having been listed and now trading on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market in Sweden.   This attracts more liquidity into the stock, and it will stand out as one of the few gold stocks listed in country, which historically see solid participation from Swedish investors that want to invest domestically.   Next we shifted over having Taj outline the key 2025 exploration target areas of focus for this year's 25,000 meter drill program across their 100% owned projects along the Gold Line Belt. At Paubäcken, there is one drill rig that has been turning since late February at the high-priority  Aida Target where 11 holes have been drilled to date.     A second drill rig is going to be added soon that may keep expanding the work at Aida, or potentially test other Paubäcken targets like Harpsen, or it could be moved over to Storjuktan to test the Nippas target.  Additionally, the Company has completed a base-of-till, top-of-bedrock drilling program on the 100%-owned Klippen Project, located in the southern extent of the Gold Line Belt, where depending on results, it may also receive some drilling this year. Adam shares a bit more about some of the new targets the team has identified from geophysics surveys and BOT drilling, and just how big of a land position they control across this prolific mineralized belt.   We then shift over to recent analyst coverage from both Haywood Capital and Ventum Capital with price targets at multiples higher than where the stock is trading today. On February 20th the Company announced that it has been named as a 2025 TSX Venture 50 company; which recognizes the top 50 of over 1,600 TSX Venture Exchange issuers based on market capitalization growth, share price appreciation, and trading volume growth. Taj then wraps us up describing the larger company vision and 2025 work strategy.   If you have any questions for Taj or Adam, regarding First Nordic Metals, then please email them to me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of First Nordic Metals at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow the latest news from First Nordic Metals  

Jason Jessup, CEO and Director of Magna Mining (TSX.V: NICU) (OTCQB: MGMNF), joins me to unpack a number of key Company milestones that were recently achieved and on tap in the near-term, as well as the work strategy developing for the balance of 2025, at the McCready West mine and multiple other prior-producing polymetallic mines and development projects located in Sudbury, Canada.    We started off reflecting on the announcement February 19th that Magna Mining has been included in the 2025 TSX Venture 50 list. The TSX Venture 50™ is a ranking of the top fifty performing companies on the TSX Venture Exchange over the prior year. Jason remarks that it is a results of the solid work their team had executed on growing their asset base and value creation over the course of the last year.   This leads us into a discussion on their transformative move into copper and nickel production that commences in March, once the KGHM International Ltd. Acquisition transaction closes at the end of this month on a portfolio of base metals assets located in the Sudbury Basin.  These assets include: the producing McCreedy West copper mine, the past-producing Levack mine, the past-producing Podolsky mine, and past-producing Kirkwood mine, as well as the Falconbridge Footwall (81.41%), Northwest Foy (81.41%), North Range and Rand exploration assets.  Jason outlines how he and multiple members of the Magna Mining team had worked at and operate the McCreedy West, Levack, and Podolsky Mines in the past when they were with FNX Mining, so that they are very familiar with these assets.  While the current flagship will be the McCreedy West Mine, he also lays out the development pathway for bringing back into production the Levack Mine in 2026, and the Podolsky Mine and Crean Hill by late 2027 or early 2028.   Next we review that the payment from the bulk sample that was mined at Crean Hill and processed at Vale's facilities last year is slated to come in about a month out, which will bring in more capital to the company.  Additionally, we reviewed the financial health of Magna Mining now that they have upsized the Debenture Offering from C$15 up to C$22 million of Convertible Debentures. Concurrent with the Debenture Offering, the Company previously announced a "best efforts" private placement offering of up to 6,451,612 common shares of the Company at a price of C$1.55 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$10 million, it will take the financing up to C$32 million raised in the Offering, and is expected to close on or about February 27, 2025.   Wrapping up we discussed how these funds would be used for both ongoing development and a healthy exploration program at the McCreedy West copper mine, and around the past-producing Levack mine to keep optimizing future mining operations and resource expansion.  Jason also gives us a boots-on-the-ground take on the sentiment and reception from all their meetings at the BMO Conference in Hollywood, Florida. There will be a lot of newsflow on tap over the next few weeks and months from Magna Mining.   If you have questions for Jason regarding Magna Mining, then please email me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Magna Mining at the time of this recording.   Click here to follow along with the news at Magna Mining

Power Nickel Inc CEO Terry Lynch joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the company's rebranding to Power Metallic Mines Inc., effective February 21st, 2025. The company will continue to trade under the ticker symbol PNPN on the TSX Venture Exchange and PNPNF on the OTCQB. Lynch explained that the name change reflects a strategic shift as the company's deposit has evolved from primarily nickel to a polymetallic opportunity, with potential reserves of copper, noble metals (PGEs, gold, silver), and nickel in equal parts. Additionally, the company has upsized its private placement offering by $10 million, increasing the total proceeds to $50 million. This financing, the company's first brokered financing, is led by major institutions including BMO and Hannam UK and was upsized due to high investor demand, strengthening institutional support. Power Metallic Mines was also recognized as one of the 2024 TSX Venture 50 top performers, ranking as the top mining company and fourth overall with an impressive 365% share price appreciation in 2024. The TSX Venture 50 companies delivered an average share price appreciation of 207% and collectively hold a market capitalization of $21.7 billion, up by $16 billion year-over-year. Lynch noted that last year's exploration confirmed the Lion Zone as a standout asset, and 2025 is expected to be a pivotal year as the company, now fully funded, plans to double its exploration programs. #proactiveinvestors #powernickelinc #tsxv #pnpn #otcqb #cmetf #nickel #mining #invest #investing #PowerMetallicMines #MiningIndustry #PolymetallicExploration #Copper #Nickel #TSXVenture #TerryLynch #ProactiveInvestors #InstitutionalInvestment #Gold #Silver #PGMs #Investing #ResourceSector #MiningNews

Aftermath Silver CEO Ralph Rushton joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has been ranked 32nd on the 2024 TSX Venture 50 list, recognizing its strong market performance over the past year. The TSX Venture 50 ranks the top fifty performing companies on the TSX Venture Exchange based on one-year share price appreciation, market capitalization growth, and Canadian consolidated trading value. Nearly two-thirds of the 2024 TSX Venture 50 are mining companies, with many—like Aftermath Silver—focused on critical minerals and precious metals. The ranking highlights the company's commitment to growth, exploration, and shareholder value creation. Rushton expressed his team's pride in receiving this recognition, emphasizing that it reflects both the company's technical achievements and strategic marketing efforts. In 2024, Aftermath Silver delivered a 63% increase in share price for its investors, and the company remains committed to driving shareholder returns in 2025 as it advances toward becoming a critical metals producer. Tim Babcock, President of the TSX Venture Exchange, commented on this year's rankings, stating: "The performance of the TSX Venture 50 underscores the strategic importance of Canadian natural resources and high-growth innovation. With heightened demand for critical minerals, energy security, and advanced manufacturing, this year's TSX Venture 50 showcases how TSXV is empowering Canadian businesses to raise capital, scale operations, and contribute to a secure and prosperous future for Canada." #proactiveinvestors #aftermathsilverltd #tsxv #aag #otcqx #aagff #mining #SilverMining, #BerenguelaProject, #Mining #Silver #Copper #Manganese #Peru #DrillingResults #BatteryMetals #ResourceModel #Investing #TSX50

In this episode, we chat with Juan Carlos, President and CEO of Canstar Resources, a TSX-Venture listed junior miner focused on mineral exploration in Newfoundland, Canada. Juan has 15 years of experience in executive management, capital markets, finance, and commercial and strategic development. He has recently stepped into the CEO role at Canstar and in this podcast, he shares his journey, the progress Canstar has made and discusses the political and economic landscape within mining and North America as the new US president takes position. KEY TAKEAWAYS Canstar Resources is focused on mineral exploration in Newfoundland, Canada, with a vision to create a diversified mining company that can capitalise on undervalued assets and leverage advances in data science and technology for efficient exploration. The company has three main project areas: the Buchans-Mary March project, which is rich in VMS deposits; the Mary March project, known for high-grade zinc; and the Golden Baie project, which has significant gold and antimony potential. Each project presents unique opportunities for exploration and discovery. The current geopolitical landscape, including national security concerns and the shift towards de-dollarisation, is expected to drive demand for critical minerals. The guest anticipates a new commodity super cycle, with increased investment in the mining sector as countries seek to secure their mineral supply chains. Canstar plans to build on its foundational work in 2024 by advancing exploration efforts in 2025. This includes conducting geophysical surveys, leveraging new technology for exploration, and potentially making acquisitions to enhance its asset base and capitalise on market opportunities. BEST MOMENTS "I think we are on the cusp of the next major commodity super cycle... we're going to see increases in commodity prices that are going to be sustained until we get supply that's in balance with the demand." "I think there's something in mining for everyone... whether your focus is on electrification and on the environment and climate change, whether your focus is on national security and the defense industrial base." "The way that we think about exploration, it's really about the acquisition of data and the interpretation and understanding of that data." "I think the companies that are going to be successful in this next cycle are going to be the ones that effectively tell that story."

Share This Inteview: https://youtu.be/8Q5YL1vLbEo F3 Uranium - https://f3uranium.com/ Corporate Presentation: https://f3uranium.com/investors/presentations/ F3 Uranium is advancing the newly discovered high-grade JR Zone on the PLN Property in the Western Athabasca Basin. This area of Saskatchewan is poised to become the next Uranium producer and home to large uranium deposits including Tiple R, Arrow and Shea Creek. F3 Uranium currently holds 18 projects across the Athabasca Basin. During the fall 2022 exploration drill program, F3 Uranium made a new uranium discovery at the A1 conductor on its 100%-owned Patterson Lake North (‘PLN') property. Discovery hole PLN22-035 intersected extremely radioactive and off-scale (65,535 CPS) pitchblende mineralization. Uranium assay results from the discovery hole returned one continuous 15.0 m interval averaging 6.97% U3O8 including a high-grade 5.5 m interval averaging 18.6% U3O8, which further includes an ultra-high grade core which assayed 59.2% U3O8 over 1.0 m. Three follow up holes intersected up to 63,400 cps and expanded the high-grade mineralization both up-dip and 23 m along strike, grid south. A 21 hole winter drill program was recently completed that resulted in extending the strike length of the JR Zone to a length of 105m. This new discovery is located 25 km northwest of the Patterson Lake area, host to Fission Uranium's Triple R and NexGen's Arrow world class uranium deposits which is poised to become the next major area of development for new uranium operations in northern Saskatchewan. The Company's management headed up by Dev Randhawa as CEO & Chairman, with Raymond Ashley, as President, and Sam Hartmann as VP Exploration, is the team that founded Fission Uranium in 2012 and made the Triple R discovery at Patterson Lake. The same team also founded Fission Energy, making the J-Zone discovery at Waterbury Lake in the eastern Athabasca Basin, and built Fission into a TSX Venture 50 Company. In April 2013 Fission Energy sold the majority of its assets to Denison Mines and certain assets were spun out into Fission Uranium. F3 Uranium was incorporated in October 2013 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fission Uranium. F3 Uranium Corp. is the third generation Fission run by one of Canada's leading uranium exploration teams. On November 2013, Fission 3.0 completed a plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act involving Alpha Mineral and Fission Uranium pursuant to which Fission Uranium acquired Alpha Minerals' 50% interest in the Patterson Lake South (PLS) project. As a result of the transaction, certain properties and assets of Fission Uranium, including the Patterson Lake North (PLN) property, became assets of F3 Uranium Corp. which is no longer a wholly owned subsidiary of Fission Uranium.

Sintana Energy CEO Robert Bose recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's significant developments and strategic plans for the year ahead. Among the key highlights was the completion of Sintana's acquisition of Giraffe Energy, a move that secures a controlling interest in a partnership with Namibia's National Oil Company for a license in the Orange Basin. This acquisition notably extends Sintana's footprint within this highly productive exploration region. Bose emphasized the successful partnership with Chevron, particularly regarding the Pel 90 license. Additionally, Chevron has teamed up with Sintana on the Pel 82 license in the Walvis Basin, further strengthening their collaboration in Namibia. This expansion underscores ongoing strategic growth and exploration opportunities for both companies in the region. Recent exploration efforts on Pel 83, operated by Galp of Portugal, have yielded substantial discoveries at the Mopani prospect. Two wells have produced multiple light oil finds, with estimates exceeding 10 billion barrels of oil. Galp is planning a further four-well campaign to explore and appraise the Mopani prospect, set to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024. Concurrently, Chevron is slated to begin exploration activities on Pel 90. Bose also highlighted Sintana's recent recognition as the top energy company on the 2024 TSX Venture 50 list. This accolade is a testament to Sintana's strategic positioning, strong partnerships, and dedicated team efforts. Such recognition underscores the company's significant achievements and its promising potential within the energy sector. These developments mark a significant milestone for Sintana Energy, reflecting the company's robust growth strategy and its commitment to leveraging strategic partnerships and acquisitions to enhance its exploration and production capabilities. #proactiveinvestors #sintanaenergyinc #tsxv #sei #otcqb #seusf #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Interview with Trey Wasser, CEO, and Maura Kolb, President of Dryden Gold Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/dryden-gold-pre-ipo-3497-gt-gold-over-85-meters-red-lake-20-4417Recording date: 3rd January 2024Dryden Gold Sets Out to Unlock Exceptional Gold Grades in Ontario's Overlooked Dryden DistrictDryden Gold Corp is focused exclusively on exploring its district-scale Dryden gold project located in northwest Ontario. The company has consolidated over 20 kilometers of strike length covering a major gold-bearing geological formation known as the Dryden shear zone. Despite limited recent exploration, historical drilling has delivered exceptionally high-grade gold mineralization in certain zones.According to CEO Trey Wasser, "we have a very strategic land package in The Dryden Camp" that is seeing renewed interest given the sheer scale of the consolidated land position and evidence that the project could host world-class high grade mineralization similar to the Red Lake gold district.The company has already attracted a roster of renowned mining investors and industry experts like Eric Sprott, Adrian Day, and Robert McEwen to support Dryden's exploration efforts. An initial drill program is already underway while Dryden concurrently listed its shares recently on the TSX Venture exchange under the ticker "DRY".Dryden's exploration is focused on better understanding high grade gold at the historic Gold Rock zone but the company sees potential to significantly expand the broader mineralized system across its 20 kilometer shear zone land position. CEO Wasser notes “we also want to show that this area could get much much bigger” with further systematic exploration.Early geochemical and geological analysis results from initial field work and drilling in late 2022 is expected shortly which could serve as an important catalyst for the stock if gold grades impress. With a strengthened gold market in 2023, the timing is right for drill-ready high grade exploration stories like Dryden to unlock substantial value.Learn more: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/dryden-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This is a great cause that we all should get behind it. Best, Doc Jones https://savecanadianmining.com/ Stop Predatory Short Selling In 2012 IIROC and CSA removed a trading rule known as the “tick test”, which restricted short selling to neutral or sales to positive price changes at the time of the sale. These changes were applied not only to the main listing venue of TSX Venture Exchange, but are equally applied across all Canadian trading venues, of which there are 14 today, reducing TSX Venture's ability to effect any change. Since removal of the tick test, the Canadian markets have evolved, and there now exists a dynamic where short selling activities, high frequency trading, and algorithms are exploiting the lack of a tick test to the detriment of Canada's junior markets. We call on CSA and IIROC to evaluate re-instituting the tick test. Save Canadian Mining is a movement to return market rules to the fair and transparent standard that helped deliver prosperity for over 142 years. Together, we can save Canadian mining. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/docjonesresourceinvestor/message

Dr. Wing Lim invites Graham Koehler, an expert in flow-through shares and VP of Business Development focused on flow-through since 2010, to the show to explain what flow-through is. Not only does Graham define flow-through shares, but he also explains their amazing tax benefits, potential risks, and who they work best for.The flow-through program was developed by the Canadian government to help resource companies raise capital to explore for minerals to mine. The original program was developed with a main credit called the Canadian Exploration Expenses credit (CEE). Graham goes into detail about how the CEE differs from an RSP or TFSA and then explains the additional tax credits available to investors on top of the original CEE. He shares a partial list of the critical minerals that qualify, how flow-through shares work, potential tax deduction numbers, and the inherent risks worth considering. This is a fireside chat introduction to the opportunities of flow-through shares so we can all ask informed questions of our tax accountants and advisors.--Physician Empowerment: website | facebook | linkedin--TranscriptDr. Kevin Mailo: [00:00:01] Hi, I'm Dr. Kevin Mailo, one of the co-hosts of the Physician Empowerment podcast. At Physician Empowerment, we're dedicated to improving the lives of Canadian physicians personally, professionally, and financially. If you're loving what you're listening to, let us know! We always want to hear your feedback. Connect with us. If you want to go further, we've got outstanding programing both in person and online. So look us up. But regardless, we hope you really enjoy this episode. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:00:35] Okay, so welcome everyone to another exciting episode of Physician Empowerment, a live webinar series, and we talk about highly relevant topics. We interview interesting people on interesting topics that will help our physicians and medical colleagues live better lives. So we're not just physicians, we're physicians and other health professionals like dentists. And so we're really excited to have you join us tonight. And this, of course, becomes an evergreen podcast. So you can go back on. So let me introduce tonight our guest. Our guest is Graham. And Graham has been in the space of flow-through shares since 2010. So he's a Canadian living in Kelowna. But he's now talking to us from Huatulco, Mexico. And so we want to cover this topic, I've done three shares actually since 2012, and full disclosure, I actually bought it from from this company. And I really trusted them to have really, really good track record. So Graham's role is the VP of Business Development of the excellent capital in one of their flagship flow-through shares. So tonight it's a fireside chat to warm everybody up. What is flow-through, right, the history. What is about and how does it impact us as medical professionals? So without further ado, Graham, thank you for joining us from Huatulco in the midst of your holiday. Graham: [00:02:07] No problem. I'm really happy. I mean, quite frankly, Wing, I would always come on board when you ask. And I'm always thrilled to talk about this program because I've seen how it can help people save significantly on taxes in Canada, especially professionals. So I'm always happy to participate. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:02:27] Right now. So why don't you first walk us through? Because a lot of people have heard of it or haven't heard of it, but the knowledge base is almost zero. So walk us through what is flow-through share and why does the government creates such huge incentive like 100% plus tax write off? Graham: [00:02:45] I know, and, yeah, absolutely. When people get exposed to the flow-through, the government flow-through program in Canada for the first time, it's almost too good to be true scenario. But it is a, first off, it is a federal government program that's been around for a long, decades, quite frankly. And we'll talk about that and maybe why people haven't heard of it. But essentially the program was developed back in the 70s in its current form. So decades ago, because Canada, as we all know, is a resource rich country. We do rely heavily on our natural resources and always have in Canada. But the idea of companies going out to explore, what I call poke holes in the ground, to go out and poke holes looking for, you know, whether it's oil or gas or minerals of any kind, precious metals, gold, whatever the case may be, is risky business. These explorers, these Canadian wonderful explorers, go out there, typically on their own dime, looking for these resources and and hope they find them. Well, the truth is they sometimes don't and they're not successful. So it's risky. Exploration is risky business. So what the government, the federal government did back in the day was created a program to help these resource companies go out and explore, to raise capital, to raise money to do their business. So to help them raise capital from investors, which is typically where capital comes from for most things, they offered significant tax benefits for the investors to put their money up so that significantly reduces the risk involved, obviously, when you get tax benefits or tax refunds. So the original program was developed and still continues today with a main, a main credit, if you will, called the Canadian Exploration Expenses credit. CEE. So it's just simply, that credit is simply a 100% deduction from income for every dollar invested in the flow-through program. So for every dollar that you give to these companies that are out exploring and needing capital, you get 100% reduction of income. That part would be similar to an RRSP. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:05:13] Right. So then okay. Very good. So thanks for the intro. It's like gold rush. Right? So the government is incentivizing people to do gold rush equivalent. And then so there's, like RSP, there's some advantage. So can you tell us it's like RSP but it's not like RSP. In the sense it's better than RSP. Graham: [00:05:33] It is. It actually gives quite frankly far more deductions now than RSP does. A typical RSP platform, as we all know an RSP is simply an account, things have to go in it. The flow-through is an actual program. So really in Canada there's some different programs out there, but as far as federal government programs spanning the country, there's really three on the tax side. There's RSPs, which we pretty much all know about. There's the somewhat newer TFSA program, which doesn't save you taxes up front, but it builds tax free within the program. So it is a tax program. So we have RSPs, TFSAs, and flow-through. The main difference between RSPs and flow-through are that, well, number one RSPs can only be purchased by an individual, not a corporation. Correct. Whereas flow-through can be purchased by an individual, a corporation or a trust. There's also a maximum contribution limit every year on an RSP. Whereas with flow-through there is no upper limit. The only the would be on the investor's, you know, suitability for the program and their risk tolerance. But there is no mandated upper limit on the program. And then really the main significant differentiator is, as I mentioned a few minutes ago, the first credit with the flow-through program is 100% reduction of your income by the amount you invest. Graham: [00:07:15] That's exactly the way RSPs work. But in the flow-through case, there's two more federal tax credits involved on top of that. And these are for everybody that invests in flow-through individually. And they are what's called the mineral exploration tax credit. And that's a 15% additional ITC or investment tax credit on top of the 100% you get with the exploration expenses. And as of last year, 2022, there's now a third tax credit involved with flow-through. The federal government announced in 2022 that they were adding in a 30% tax credit, ITC, investment tax credit, on the flow-through program for any part of a fund that is invested in critical minerals. So it's called the Critical Minerals Investment Tax Credit. So you have the original 100% reduction of income for every dollar invested, which is somewhat similar to an RSP. You have the additional federal 15% mineral tax credit. And now the potential for a 30% tax credit on anything in a fund, in a flow-through fund, that's considered critical minerals. And the government gave a list of critical minerals. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:08:40] Can you give us, I just know the list is big. Give us some common ones. A common one, is it lithium or is it... What is it? Graham: [00:08:46] Yeah. There's a number of them, and some of them will make a lot of sense. Mainly they're minerals that are critical to the electrification of the world, to elect batteries, electric vehicles etcetera. So that's really what the government is promoting right now because we have a lot of those minerals, or most of them in Canada, and we can explore for them and bring them out of the ground. Examples, lithium of course, magnesium, cobalt, copper, the rare earth elements, none of which I can pronounce the names of, those elements as well. And interestingly, uranium, as of last year, the government has considered or has actually called now, classified, uranium as green. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:09:35] Wow. Graham: [00:09:36] Yeah. Yeah. Very interesting. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:09:37] When you think about it, it is very green. Graham: [00:09:40] Yeah. It is. And, you know, obviously this isn't the place or time to get into the pros and cons and things like that. But yeah, what happened a year ago was in this decades-old program, the federal government actually pulled oil and gas out of the flow-through program. So we can't buy oil and gas flow-through shares or, you know, shares of oil and gas companies now. They took that out. But they added in this critical minerals 30% tax credit. In other words, they're really trying to build, to help explorers and developers in Canada, Canadian companies, to go out and find more critical minerals. So that's the difference between RFP and flow-through right now. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:10:27] Now, can you educate us, Graham, that I've heard about tax credit and tax deduction. What's the difference? Graham: [00:10:35] Yeah yeah just... Dr. Wing Lim: [00:10:37] Briefly. Graham: [00:10:38] Yeah I will, I'll try and be brief there. And I'm glad you picked up on that, because I did use the two different terminologies here. I've mentioned the three different credits available. And the first one that I said has been around forever, for decades is the CEE, and that stands for Canadian Exploration Expenses. That is the main, that part is again, it's federal, everybody gets it. It's a 100% reduction in income. So for every dollar you invest, you get your tax slip from a flow-through company, you know, in the spring for the year, for the past year. And it'll show that CEE, your accountant simply reduces your income by that amount. So you save taxes, you know, to be simple, to simplify, if you're in a 50% marginal tax rate, a high income earner, and you invest in a flow-through, 50% of the money you invest is going to come back to you immediately in a tax refund. That's the CEE. In addition then, that second and third credit are called investment tax credits. They operate slightly differently than that first one. They don't reduce income by the amount, they actually, you multiply the first case 15%. It's called the mineral tax credit exploration, it's 15 - one five - percent. So you multiply your investment times 15%. That number comes directly off remaining taxes that you owe. So it's very powerful. And then the third credit is an investment tax credit as well of 30%. So you multiply, or you know, effectively, the auditors do this. You don't do any of this. We just in the industry give you a tax slip. But the critical minerals at 30%, any part of a fund that's critical, gets multiplied by 30%. And that number comes directly again off taxes you still owe. So very powerful. So there's a little difference in how the two... Dr. Wing Lim: [00:12:44] So can I just, just give some numbers? So and you can tell me if I'm right or wrong. Right? So if let's say doctor XYZ makes 100,000 this year, taxable income, and invest $10,000 in there. So just based on the first, the CEE, then the income taxable income becomes 90,000. Graham: [00:13:04] Right off the top. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:13:05] Yeah. So and if doctor XYZ owes the government $50,000 in tax right then hey 15% of that, whatever they invest in, comes right off the tax. So potentially 40, so if they do $10,000 investment, so what 45% of that? Which is 40... Graham: [00:13:26] But the only thing to keep in mind is the 100% everybody gets, the 15%, you get either the 15% on part of a fund or the 30. They don't stack on top of each other. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:13:40] Got it. Potentially, let's say we buy the critical mineral. Then 30% of 10,000, that's 3000. Graham: [00:13:47] That's right. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:13:47] 3000 comes off your 50,000. And you owe that year for tax. Graham: [00:13:51] Yeah, the way it works out for most funds, the way it works out, and again there's multiple, there's many many, you know, there's a number of flow-through funds in Canada. I would say on average an investor is going to get somewhere between 120 to 125% in deductions for every dollar they invest. So if they invest $10,000, they're going to get the equivalent of about $12,500 in deductions. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:14:23] That's absolutely amazing. Graham: [00:14:25] It is. And what it's done, especially with this added, when the government in 2022 added in this extra critical minerals tax credit, what it means again, and this is for an average fund, it depends how much a fund has in critical minerals or not critical or things like that, so it's hard to give exact numbers here, and every individual it will be different as well with their tax rates, but again, on average it'll be 120, 125% in tax benefits for every dollar invested. And what that does is it reduces, when you calculate it out, it reduces the at risk money, that $10,000 that you've invested, it typically reduces that down to $3 or 4000 out of the $10,000. That's the money you actually now have at risk because you've received all the rest back in tax refunds. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:15:13] So there's so much refund that you're only about 30% of this is really at risk capital. Graham: [00:15:18] And that's directly why the government's doing it. Is to, and by the way, there's no exact number on the benefit to the government. But I've heard in the industry many times over the years that the federal government, the CRA, basically, recoups, recovers anywhere from 3 to $4 in basically income generated for the government for every dollar they give back in tax credits to investors. And the reason for that is because these companies that explore, many of them are very successful and eventually pay a lot of tax. So it's been a very beneficial program for decades for both investors and the government, quite frankly. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:16:04] Right on. So I think we touched on this is such a good program. And the next question is, well, how comes my accountant didn't just jump at my throat on that? Graham: [00:16:15] It's you know, I've mentioned it's been around for a long time. The actual original, the very, very origination of the program in an older form was mid 1950s. This program's been around since before the RSP program. It came into its current life in the early 70s. Why isn't it more well known? One of the main reasons it's not is, and I think this is from the accounting side of it perhaps, is there is risk, of course. And a lot of times, quite frankly, I think accountants don't want to, you know, be responsible for talking about a product that has risk. You know, it's very, very difficult sometimes, even though it's been de-risked so much. The other reason, and I think this is far more, will answer the question I think far better, is the big institutions in Canada, the big banks, the big financial institutions, the big investment sellers, they're not really interested in the flow-through program. And the reason that they're not is it's just for them, not big enough, quite frankly. On average, over the years, the Canadian Federal flow-through program has raised, on average, about a half a billion a year in capital. So about 500 million a year gets raised every year in flow-through. And I'm sure that's, you know, in a niche market that's a pretty good number. But to the Royal Bank of Canada, it's just not look. They look at that and go, no, we're not interested in that kind of niche small market. They're far more interested in doing mutual funds and RSPs, which are, you know, continuous. That's really why it's been mostly, up until about ten years ago, it's been mostly the purview of certain accountants and certain tax lawyers that paid attention to it. Now there's more and more funds. So it's getting a lot more attention. There's more people like yourself looking at it. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:18:11] Yeah. So if you had 50% tax bracket, right, if you added 25% tax bracket, it doesn't make as much impact as 50 plus percent. Graham: [00:18:19] Yeah. And we get, you know, people ask me oftentimes like what would, who should buy this? Who should invest? Who should invest in flow-through? And there's two answers. One, anybody that's got a tax problem. If people have a tax problem, they should look at flow-through. If their tax problem is five grand in a year, maybe not. They're, really in my mind to get the biggest bang for your buck out of this, you really should be in the, I'd say the 35 to 50% marginal tax rate, right? Dr. Wing Lim: [00:18:58] The bigger the tax problem, the bigger the solution, right? Graham: [00:19:01] That's exactly it. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:19:03] Yeah. Right. So maybe tell us, okay, so this is the good side. Tell us the worst. What's the worst scenario that could happen? Graham: [00:19:11] People can lose money. And and I'm not being flippant. It just, it can happen. This is, there is risk involved with this program. And you know, that's why it's imperative too that the individuals look at, know a few good questions to ask a flow-through fund. And we can talk about that if we have time. But yeah, the ups and downs of it. This is, for the most part, junior, what they would call junior resource companies in Canada, which are smaller companies, their share prices are smaller, their, I guess they would be what's termed as penny stocks out there, even though some of them have been around doing this for decades. They've been around a long time. There are still smaller companies. They go explore, they find something, they move on. Or quite frankly, they get bought out and they start it again. They get, when they find something, they get bought out by a bigger developer and they start exploring again. So they're back to being small. So that's where the real risk is, is when a fund is put together, quite frankly, if the fund manager, the research team involved, aren't that great at picking the stocks, these funds can go down dramatically. I've seen funds, they don't go to zero these funds because they have many different companies in them, many different shares, but have seen a, from certain companies out there, I've seen a $10,000 investment get paid back at $1,000, let's say. A few, you know, 18 months or 24 months later. Well, you need to get back about $4, quite frankly, 3 to $4 to break even. Unattend, I'm talking $10 purchase prices. You know, so you would need to get back 3 or $4. I've seen returns of a dollar, $1.50. So those are actual real losses. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:21:07] And those is not right away. Right? It's over time. Right? Graham: [00:21:11] Yeah. Most flow-through funds in Canada operate on anywhere from a 8 to a 24 month kind of window. There are a select few out there that have done a great job by being a little bit longer term for their investors, maybe 3 to 5 years. I've found that those companies have done a little bit better, quite frankly, because what they've done is they've given the resource companies more time. So hopefully make a profit. So there are a few companies like that out there. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:21:47] But it's also dependent on cycles. Graham: [00:21:50] It is. And when I mentioned that these are junior resource companies, a lot of them are, most of them, in fact, of this variety, are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, out of Calgary, not the general TSX, but they're traded on the TSX Venture. And so you've got to look at that exchange to see how it's gone up and down over the years. And it doesn't track the same as the TSX. Okay. It is a totally different market. Now the TSX Venture isn't just resource companies. There's tech companies and all kinds of small firms there, but it seems to have its own path. And yeah, it went through a long bare market, quite frankly, the TSX Venture went through a bare or a down market from 2010 to about 2017. So it's kind of on a downward rate, but it also goes up. And right now, by the way, the market in general for this in Canada is somewhat, is low, like it's been here. So there's, you know, who knows. But it may be an opportune time to get into natural resources in Canada because they are somewhat suppressed right now. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:23:07] Right. Tell us something about this super cycle. Graham: [00:23:10] Well, that's kind of where that, you know, we're in that, there are a lot of us believe that we're kind of in the first or second inning of a super cycle right now, and all that means is a bull market or a potential up market on steroids. Meaning that it's going to go high and it'll last, this bull market in commodities, if it truly is a super cycle - and there's been three super cycles in history before, this would be the fourth - it would last for maybe as long as 6, 8, 10 years. The super cycle. A lot of the very experienced portfolio managers, the commodity people out there in Canada, the, you know, commodity trading managers and the guys like Sprott and, you know, they've been calling this now for 2 or 3 years. And they all feel that we're in the beginning of that super cycle. And really it's because there was such a depression for those years I talked about. Nothing got done. And it takes, once things get rolling again - and precious metals, for example, like gold, and I think we're all pretty familiar that, you know, gold is on a, you know, should be and has been on a bit of a trend - people are looking for ways to buy precious metals right now, but it takes, and now critical minerals like lithium and stuff and uranium, by the way, uranium has started to go up dramatically now. Lithium went up dramatically 2 or 3 years ago. So that's, now just keep in mind that these super cycles, if that's what we're in, and a lot of us think we are, they don't go up in a straight line. Nothing goes up in a straight line. So it'll be a bit of a bumpy road right now, I think. Some years we'll be down a little bit, some will be up. But the general trend, I believe, for the next 8 to 10 years is going to be an upswing. So I look at the flow-through program, which was developed by the government to help this type of a cycle, really, as a significantly de-risked way for investors to get involved in commodities. Right? They don't have, yeah, they don't have to pick their own. They can get, you can get involved in gold and silver and lithium and a whole basket of these in the flow-through program now for your portfolio. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:25:36] Right. So I listen to a lot of podcasts. That's how I do my pastime. And we're truly in a global village situation. A war in Ukraine. Boom. It affects Canada. It affects the African food supply because the wheat basket, but also minerals and resources. Right? When Russia and Ukraine have big war and now we have Middle East war, and so it impacts and of course, like you say, we're electrifying everything. Right? Electric vehicles. A patient of mine just, he's in a developing business of different kind of battery that is going to make the regular battery that we see now obsolete. There's so much advanced, technological advance, but the limiting factor is still the resources. Man, you got to find those nickel, cadmium, lithiums of the world. Right? Graham: [00:26:27] And you do. And not only do you need to find them, once they're found, once once a resource is found, it doesn't relate to a producing mine next week. These take, these can take a few years to develop once that mineral is found. You know, there's obviously a lot of hoops and mountains to jump over literally with regulation before this gets off the ground and that mine gets running to produce what it needs to produce. That's why when I talk about the potential, if we're in a super cycle, I mean, we're in a bull market, but, you know, potentially a super cycle, that's why these can go for years because it takes time to ramp up reproduction. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:27:12] And then is it true that the world is now coming to us because we are the Canadian Shield, right? Other places they have, but there's political instability. They don't have infrastructure. Right? They're coming to us. Graham: [00:27:27] Yeah. The world does come to us. I mean, you know, we hear sometimes reasons why certain places don't come to us or they wish we were doing things differently here and there, regulation-wise in Canada. But the fact of the matter is, you know, for years, and I think it's true, I've been, to me, I like to keep things really simple, kind of dumbed down for myself. The world needs these minerals more than ever. We have them. So they're going to come and we're a stable country to deal with. And quite frankly, our environmental record is pretty good too, compared to a lot of other countries. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:28:06] Right. So because it's uncertain and we possibly could be going into a super cycle, so is it wise to do dollar averaging thing, buy some every year? Graham: [00:28:16] Well, yeah. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:28:16] Or just buy a big lump sum? Graham: [00:28:19] No, I would actually recommend that people don't buy a big lump sum necessarily, whatever big means to an individual. Um, I would say no, you're far better off once you understand the program and the merits of it, to cycle this, to buy some every year. Because there is going, even with the best fund in Canada out there, there's going to be the odd down year. One of the things to look at with any fund, quite frankly, is what I call an asymmetric return. How many, if a company has had 20 funds or 30 funds over the years, how many have been positive? How many have been negative? And if there's significantly more that have been positive than negative, that's a great asymmetric return for clients. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:29:08] Got it. Graham: [00:29:09] Right? It means that company kind of knows what they're doing. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:29:12] Good. Graham: [00:29:15] I recommend cycling. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:29:18] Good. So you're walking into the last question I'm going to ask is, the funds are not created the same, equal, right? So our program is not to flag a fund, but to empower our listeners to ask smarter questions to their advisors. So what are a few questions, maybe three questions, they should ask these funds? Like what are the key separating, what differentiating questions? One of which is probably the asymmetric return, right? They need to have good track record that. Graham: [00:29:47] That would be one, that wouldn't be the first question, or place to look, but that's absolutely one. How is the company done? You know, asymmetric? Have they had good asymmetric returns? To me, number one with anything in life, especially in the investment world, is management. Absolutely look at management. Look at their experience, their background, their credentials, how long they've been doing flow-through funds in Canada, what their relationships are with the mining groups, with the big investors in the mining community. I would also ask what that company's thesis is, what their investment thesis is. Because that can be critical, especially in flow-through. When you look at something like real estate, for example, buying a building, well, the thesis is pretty standard. Buy it and rent it and make money and hopefully it goes up. The thesis can be a little more, slightly more complicated in flow-through, but I would ask what the portfolio managers' thesis is. And they should be able to send you a 2 or 3 or 4 page only report on how they put, what their thoughts are, and how they put together the fund. And the reason you want that is, in my experience, I've seen a lot of flow-through funds out there that have focused on one thing only. Tax refunds for investors. That's great. But if you lose money, why bother? You really want to look for a fund whose investment thesis is to number one, try and put together a resource fund that's going to make people a profit and it comes, and just happens to come with flow-through shares. But in companies, their thesis is just to get you, is number one, to try and make a profit for their investors and give the significant benefits that down period in Canada were suppressed for about, they were poorly managed and just disappeared during the bare market. So I would look for companies that have just been consistent for many years, coming out with a product every year and doing their job. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:31:50] Okay, good. Graham: [00:31:51] Those are a few of the things that that you should look at. Dr. Wing Lim: [00:31:54] Right. Right on. Okay. So that's really good. So I want to thank Graham for his pile of wisdom. Pearls of wisdom. He's been in there the good days and bad days. Seen a few cycles. Dr. Kevin Mailo: [00:32:07] Thank you so much for listening to the Physician Empowerment podcast.

Interview with Stephen Swatton, CEO of CopperCorp Resources Inc. (TSX: CPER)CopperCorp Resources (CPER) is a Canadian company listed on the TSX Venture exchange, specializing in copper exploration and mining. They have significant copper assets in Tasmania, covering approximately 1500 square kilometers across three different projects. While their main focus is on iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposits, they also have projects involving multi-commodity and rare earth elements.The company has recently reported promising drilling results, showcasing high-grade copper grades. In their last drill campaign, they encountered distinct zones with copper concentrations of up to 1 percent. They are now considering drilling deeper holes, potentially reaching depths of up to 1000 meters, to assess the underground tonnage and expand their understanding of the deposits.CopperCorp Resources emphasizes the importance of copper as the fundamental basis for their projects, aiming to attract interest from mid-sized to large mining companies. They prioritize safe jurisdictions and favorable conditions such as positive government regulations and access to renewable energy sources in Tasmania. The company also acknowledges the presence of other valuable elements like rare earths and cobalt in their projects but focuses on copper as the primary target.

In this episode of #StreetsTalksTo we are joined by  Dani Lipkin, Delilah Panio from the TMX Group. We delve into the global listings landscape, the TSX and the TSX Venture exchanges and their support for earlier stage firms and established companies in their journey to going public.  We touch on Canada's history of supporting innovative, early stage companies and discuss TSX Venture's unique value proposition in helping scale-ups access growth capital, reduce the burden and cost of going public. We look at lessons we can learn from Canada as the UK and other jurisdictions are assessing their IPO rules to attract more junior listings. We discover the 4 Rs – reason, readiness, requirement and reality – that can help decide whether your company is ready to go public and the benefits of being aligned. And we look ahead on the listings journey, as many firms have successfully graduated from the TSX Venture Exchange to TSX and gone on to dual list in the US and other major exchanges.

The band is back together, the calendar has turned to September, and we are taking you back to school this week. In keeping with the back-to-school theme, Brennan will start by defining “The Rule of 40”, which has nothing to do with the idea that it all goes to crap after you hit 40, or his favourite movie, The 40 Year Old Virgin. The Rule of 40 is a commonly used metric when comparing SaaS companies and is a simple framework that balances revenue growth versus profit margins. Brett takes reviews one of our more popular Stock vs. Stock Battle of the past couple years which pitted two hot (at the time) renewable energy companies Greenlane Renewables Inc. (GRN:TSX) and Xebec Adsorption Inc. (XBC:TSX) against one another. Greenlane won the battle at the time, but neither met our criteria. Brett will look at where both stocks are today. Ryan will hit the mailbag and take a quick look at one of the hotter TSX Venture stocks this year, Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (PMET:TSX-V), which has seen its share price jump from the $0.55 range to just under $7.00. What is driving the gains and is it sustainable? Finally, in our Your Stock, Our Take segment Aaron reviews NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA: NASDAQ), the worlds top designer and manufacturer of GPUs or graphic processing units. The tech giant has seen its share price slashed 60% from 2021 highs and its recently released ugly Q2 numbers helped pour gasoline on the recent tire fire. Aaron let's you know his thoughts on the current valuations.

On a trip to India in the late 2000s, Raj Grover walked by a paraphernalia store selling glass pipes for pennies, accessories that would retail in Canada for $20. While he wasn't a cannabis user at the time, Raj saw an opportunity. He parlayed that New Delhi encounter into a 500-square-foot head shop in Calgary with two employees. That lone outlet has grown into High Tide, a Canadian retail powerhouse with more than 100 cannabis stores. In this episode of “Seed to CEO,” Raj shares: How he grew from an accessories shop to a vertically integrated chain. How to find and seize opportunities before others do. Why the best plan isn't always the winner – and how “fast hands” helped build High Tide. The role franchising played in funding High Tide's expansion. How he adapted to an ever-changing competitive landscape. Who is Raj Grover? Raj Grover cut his business teeth at the knee of his father, who still operates an import-export business in India. As a teen, Raj had more interest in learning the ins and outs of that business than in playing Nintendo, leading him to becoming a serial entrepreneur at 22. Today, he oversees Canadian cannabis retail chain High Tide, which trades on both the TSX Venture exchange and Nasdaq. Raj also leads High Tide's partnership with World Vision, sponsoring more than 200 children in 2021, and is also a longtime supporter of Operation Smile, an organization that works to deliver free, safe cleft surgery to children in need.

Hey, everyone,   Michael: Welcome to another episode of The Remote Real Estate Investor. I'm Michael Albaum. And today with me, I have Mariusz from Micro Cap Explosions. And he's gonna be talking to us today about how he utilized micro cap stocks to become a millionaire. And what are some things that we as everyday individual investors can look out for to do the same. So let's get into it.   Hey, Mariusz, thank you so much for taking the time and joining me today. I really appreciate you coming on.   Mariusz: Yeah, thank you very much Michael.   Michael: My pleasure. So you've got kind of a unique background and have done quite a lot of things both in real estate and the stock market. So for all the listeners who don't know who you are, can you give us a little bit of a background on? Where did you come from? And what have you done in the real estate and stock market sectors?   Mariusz: Okay, so yeah, it's a little unique. I, I am a full time investor right now full time micro cap investor focused on small companies. So mostly in the stock market, on the secondary exchanges, which I will get into more in a minute. But I started off in real estate. Yes. So I graduated college in 2003. And that was around the time where the Poor Dad Rich Dad books were coming out. And so he kind of got me interested in real estate, I read them and I was like, Yeah, I want to be financially free. But of course, I didn't have any money. So I figured what the best way to start in real estate, it's to kind of learn how to value real estate. Okay.   So I became a real estate appraiser. And I did this residential appraising and then I moved up to commercial real estate and I appraised apartments, office industrial, mobile, home parks, you know, anything associated with income producing properties. And then at some point, I went into the broker side, so I worked in a group under in Marcus Miller chap that sold apartments in the Midwest. And so I worked there a little bit. And then, but during this entire time that I was doing real estate, I was also investing in the stock market, learning about Warren Buffett, and, and when the financial crisis hit in 2008 2009, I, I said to my boss, I'm leaving, I want to go full time into the stock market, because I see opportunities. And, and I didn't really have the passion for real estate the way I did for, for the stock market investing. So I just, you know, left the industry, but there's so many similarities between between them, but that's kind of like, you know, a little shot this summary.   So, from 2009, literally, January 1 2009. That's what I entered the stock market. And so now it's like 12-13 years. So I started it with 10,000. At that point, that was actually from a sale of an apartment. I had a and then so over this 12 year period, that 10,000 I turned it into six, 7 million now over this, you know, 12 year period?   Michael: Holy smokes, have you calculated what that return is, in terms of percentage, it's insane.   Mariusz: You know, I don't really I don't really calculate the percentages, because in the in the hedge fund world, financial world, everybody likes to say, Oh, I do this much. This much return per year, per month, you know, I don't really look at it. I don't compare myself to the market. Because when I do compare myself to the market, that's when you do stupid things like, oh, you know, I need to keep or how did I do this month? It's just like, forget it. I don't care. I really, people are really surprised that I don't look at the market in general and how I do and I really don't I have no idea what the S&P is doing, how much did How would you know what was in the other quarter? Because I am much more patient, I am much better investor, if I just focus on myself my ideas, you know, and if I beat the market, one quarter, or it doesn't matter to me is so yeah. So I couldn't even tell you. I just know, you know, what I started and what I have, and, you know, I don't look at it like that.   Michael: Oh, that's awesome. What a unique perspective. And so you were mentioning that you are a micro cap investor. Can you explain to our listeners what that is?   Mariusz: Okay, when everybody talks about the stock market, they talk about NASDAQ, s&p 500 New York Stock Exchange just CNBC, you turn it on, Apple Tesla Gamestop right. those popular names, that's what they think of the stock market. But people don't realize that there are many, many different exchanges out there, not just NASDAQ, not just New York Stock Exchange. And there are secondary exchanges that cater to maybe smaller companies or venture companies. And, for example, OTC markets in the US, it's not even an exchange, or TSX Venture, Toronto Stock Exchange venture or Canadian stock exchange, or AIM in London, those exchanges a cater to smaller companies that wouldn't qualify to be on NASDAQ, or maybe companies that are international and they want to access North America.   But their secondary exchanges and not many people pay attention to them. And when you're talking about smaller companies, anything between like 100 million market cap? They are they are hated and frowned upon by the financial industry. There are penny stocks don't touch them. They're risky. And that. So those companies don't get a lot of attention. And, and to be fair, I would say yeah, 80 to 90% of these companies trading at these exchanges, I wouldn't touch either because you know, they might be looking for gold or trying to find a cure for this or that or, you know, cannabis or you name it. Yeah, I wouldn't touch those companies.   But among those 10 to 20 of percent of the companies, there are some real, really interesting companies there might be up and coming. But they have they have revenues, they have real customers, but nobody's paying attention to them. Nobody is paying attention to them. And I can take my time, study them, figure out what's going on. And maybe they are on the way to to NASDAQ maybe they are in three years going to upload or whatever, why can get them when nobody's paying attention. And then when they do come on NASDAQ, you know, they're gonna get repriced and I feel like being in that space. I feel like I am, you know, playing a game that's easy to win. Because think about, and it's not that I want to be in the game, I am there because I have very little competition, because what's my competition? Retail, retail investors or institutions? Right? These are the two entities, right?   Well, what's retail doing? Well, they're chasing Tesla, GameStop, Bitcoin, right? Apple, Microsoft, I mean, that's where they're, they're chasing that they're busy. Institutions. Well, institutions are in the game of gathering assets under management, because they get paid a percentage of what they manage. So in order for them to make money, they have to manage lots, lots, lots and lots of money, billions. And if you manage billions, what are you going to go and find this tiny little thing? $10 million? Market cap? No, because you would have to find like, 1000s of those companies, and there is not 1000s Of those, there's maybe a handful of interesting opportunities, but you too big, you're too fat, you have to go after the big ones. So that, so retail is out, institutions are out. And like who is there? Yeah, some mom and pop investors or some micro cap investors, but there's not a lot of them. So right away from the start, I am playing a game where there's barely any competition.   And if I do the, if I play the game, right, if I choose the right companies, if I do the right work, and then then, you know, my chances of winning the game are very high compared to playing where everyone else is playing. What kind of advantage do I have investing in Microsoft when there's 60? Other analysts looking at it? Zero. Can I get on the phone and get to see on the phone? Absolutely no chance. But with the smaller companies, so many times? They don't they don't have any analyst coverage, zero, absolutely zero. And then I can pick up the phone and the CEO will answer the phone. And it will help me and answer the questions that I need answered.   Michael: And so when you're picking up the phone and calling these people, what kind of questions are you answering? I mean, can you give us an idea or someone who's interested in kind of following in your footsteps? What kind of due diligence what kind of research is helpful to do if someone doesn't even know where to begin? If someone's ever invested in as Tesla, you know, how could they go after one of these micro cap companies?   Mariusz: Okay, so first thing, what I'll do is, let's say I'm interested, and that's what I did with, I'll go through every company on the exchange, I'll go like recently, I went to the Canadian stock exchange, and there's only there's only like four 700 companies listed on Canadian Stock Exchange. And, and when I say Canadian stock exchange, people think oh, it's Canadian companies. No, it's not Canadian companies. It's most of the companies like they serve you, us. They have stores or clients in the US, they just trade on Canadian Stock Exchange because the listing fees are so low compared to NASDAQ and they are at the development stage or where they are. They would rather pay $250,000 to be listed there now versus going on NASDAQ and spending million or two, so it's but they might be US companies.   And so I went through every company 700 one by one. And because like I said, 8080 to 90% are something that I'm not interested. So if it's mining or oil and gas, like, No, thank you, or if it's cannabis, no, thank you, or we're gonna find a cure for cancer. Yeah, right? No, no, thank you. So I go go through them, you know, one by one and eliminate the ones that I know I'm not interested. And then from from that 700, I narrowed it down to maybe like 50. And then from that 50, I'm like, okay, these are real companies that have real products, real customers. And then let's say I have, you know, narrowed down to five or, or two.   So, so then at that point, I'm like, Okay, I like these companies. Now, I want to know, what they are about. So of course, I'm going to read what's publicly available. But that's not enough, in my opinion, with the smaller companies, because let's face it smaller, they are riskier, right? So if the industry says it's toxic, and this and that, okay, they're riskier, so I need to do more work. So after reading the public information on these companies, I will get on the phone, and I will call the customers, I will call the customers and say, Hey, why are you using this company? You know, what kind of problems? Is this product solving for you? How does it compare to the competitors, so I'll find out firsthand from the customers why they are using this product.   Now, if the product is good, and the feedback is great, then I know, okay, therefore real, therefore real. And now I understand what's going on. And of course, I will call the management, I will usually talk to the CEO, at few board members, current or past directors, I'll try to go to LinkedIn to find some employees, former employees are good, because they'll tell you all the dirt that you know. So you know, after you, you get on the phone, and you talk to us individuals, you really start to learn the story of is this company really special? Is there something there that I should get involved in? And this is the kind of research that we'll do on these companies?   Michael: That makes total sense? And how do you find out who their customers are and get their contact information? I mean, what does that look like?   Mariusz: Well sometimes it's easier than others, because usually, sometimes they will list in the description of the business, they will list what kind of customers they have. Or sometimes you just know who the customers are, because you can Google them. Or maybe there's not that many players. So it's, you know, there's ways but it's not always the same way. Like for example, recently, I was looking at a company that is in the business of providing software for governmental agencies, to help them manage like health safety for restaurants. So, you know, think of government agency that has to make sure that all the restaurants comply with the regulations?   Well, it's not that hard to get a list of health inspection agencies in the United States. And you just, you know, call one by one and see who who answers the phone.   Michael: Interesting. And then when you're calling the company members themselves, board member CEO, what does that script look like? You say, Hey, I'm a potential investor, I'm interested in buying your stock. What does that look like?   Mariusz: That's pretty much it. You I call them up and I say, Hey, I'm looking at your company. This looks interesting. You know, tell me about it. Me sell me on the idea. Tell me how you got involved in the company. What's your story? You know, is there anything I'm missing here? And any usually, usually successful people, you might think that they're busy, too busy to talk to you, but they're kind of lonely. Like, they're just out there running the company, and someone calls them out of blue. Like, they'll talk to you. And yeah, like, I barely had anyone that didn't want to talk to me, and they'll talk and talk and talk. And then the next thing, you know, you have their cell phone number. So when you have questions, you can just call them and, and you know, it's about like establishing the relationship.   You, you first. It's amazing what you can learn, especially with the small companies. And I'm not saying like you're trying to get some kind of insider information. You're not, you're just trying to learn about it. But come on, you're having a conversation, right? Like, I don't know what you can tell me. He doesn't know what he can tell me. You always learn more than you should.   Michael: Yeah, yeah. No, I that's what I found in my past career. Working as a fire protection engineer, if you ask open ended questions, it's amazing what people will share with you, especially if it's a good conversation, if it's a good working relationship. You're so right. And I think that people don't give other people enough credit for what they might share. So that's, that's a really interesting tip.   Mariusz: Yeah. And you know, when you read about when you read about companies on paper, that they, you know, they tell you what the lawyers allowed them to tell you. And but when you actually phoned somebody up, and you really get to understand the strategy, they're thinking, Where are they going, why are they doing this? It's just, it puts the whole picture together the whole thesis, but by doing those kinds of work,   Michael: It makes total sense. But submersion. Do you square with the fact that you have your own opinions, biases, and then if you're getting the CEO on the phone, I would imagine that most CEOs are convicted, and are semi convincing that their business idea is a great one, and it's going somewhere, Otherwise, they wouldn't be the CEO. So how do you square those two with each other?   Mariusz: So So that's, that's why I'm talking with either individuals, like, you know, the directors or, or the customers, or, or even the competitors. Because like, recently, for example, I call I call this I didn't term this, but it's called a scuttlebutt research by talking to the individuals that so, so we have this company that recently came out on my public channel, Globex, Globex. And what they have is a is a private email and messaging application that like, doesn't do any data mining, no big tech hosted in Switzerland. So you know, everything against, you know, data mining. And so, when I first started researching this company, I sent out an email to my group at micro cap explosions, which is the website that I run.   And I said, Hey, you know, I don't know much about this space, but some of you guys might be in this space. So help me and also, my girlfriend's brother is a security expert. So so I figured I would get some feedback. And oh, my goodness, 20 people give me feedback, any, and you couldn't have two people agree on the same thing. Especially when you get two techies in a room talking about open source is better or closed source is better, or this is like, Oh, my goodness. But that's what you deal with as an investor is like, you get all of these feedbacks, good, bad average. And then you have to decide on your own, from all that feedback from the CEO selling on the company, from this guy telling you this is horrible from this guy telling you it might succeed, you have to make a choice, you have to make a call.   And then from that, what I realized that at some point is like, Okay, I'm not, there's no way I can figure out if the technology is the best, or this or that there's no way. But what I can't figure out is whether people are going to buy the product, and what is going on through the head of the people that are buying the product. And if they're gonna buy the product, if the if it solves their problem. That's all that matters. Because the critics do not generate revenues. It's a customer to generate revenue. So it's like, if nine people are complaining and don't like it, but one that one buys it, will all I have all all the company has to do is find those ones, right? And then and then everything will be fine.   Michael: That's such a great insight. That's such a great insight. So how does someone get started in this if they have a full time job, because they can go invest in REITs passively, they can go invest in the stock market passively. But it sounds like this, there's a little bit more legwork a little bit more research involved. So how does one get started doing this kind of work?   Mariusz: Well, I would say, I would say study businesses. That's number one. Because I'm not really, I don't really care what the company trades. As long as the business is good, the business is going to do well. So study businesses, figure out what businesses work, what is a good business? What is an average business, what is a better business? And start with that. Because if you go, if you go to the secondary exchanges, like you said, if you pick up the phone, every single CEO will sell you, and you will think is the great idea every time. It's like, you know, watching a commercial and buying everything that you see on TV.   So you kind of have to know, you know, you have to know what is good, what has potential, and, you know, probably should probably have some mistakes be under your belt too. But yeah, it definitely, this kind of investing definitely is more, it takes more work, but it's more rewarding at the same time. So like if the best way to passively do it. I'm gonna, you know, plug myself in here is you know, my website microcapexplosions.com. I mean, I share that research with my people. So, so they, they get the benefit of my research. And you know, of course they pay me for it. But if you want to do it on your own, you know, study businesses and then go to these secondary exchanges and study to come look at the companies one by one, don't screen. Forget about screening, just look at them one by one, it's like 700 of them, you can look at 700 companies when 90 90% of them are junk and you're just gonna throw them away just after looking at them. So it doesn't take that long, but But it's definitely worth it if you if you want to put in the work.   Michael: Okay. And of that 80 and 90% that you think is junk. I mean, I know you mentioned cannabis oil and gas mining. Are there other sectors that are definite non starters for you or are ones that you think specifically Yes, these are these are you No, always gonna be a go for you.   Mariusz: Well, I like I like to look at, I like to own companies that are there are decent. So in other words, what are good businesses? Well, businesses that have recurring revenues, they're better than the non recurring revenues, because on January you don't start from scratch. So that's that. I like businesses that have some kind of switching costs once a client signs up. They know it's a little bit painful to switch. I like businesses that just kind of like Warren Buffett talks about with Moats. So they have some kind of brand, brand awareness, and maybe that brand is getting better and better and better. Or maybe they have what's called the network effect, as more people use the service more others want to use it like like auctions, you know, you go to auctions, when a lot of people are using the auction, you want to sell it in action when there's a lot of buyers, so, and I like also businesses that are not capital intensive. So in order to grow revenues, it doesn't cost that much.   So that's one of the things that turned me off from real estate is that it's so capital intensive. If you have a four unit apartment building, and you want to grow that revenue, well, you have to buy another apartment building or you have to add units. Yes, you can raise price, of course, you can raise price, but there is limit to it as so it's capital intensive. And yes, you can leverage and borrow and all that. But it's capital intensive. And if you compare it to the company that I talked about Globex, for example, which has an email, messaging, communication, well, they have a server in Switzerland, okay. It doesn't matter, they can have 100,000 people on it or a million people. It doesn't you, they don't have to get another server when they get a million more users. They just, you know, they might at some point need another server, but it's very scalable. And it doesn't cost that much to grow revenues.   So so these are the kinds of businesses that I look for. So I've done it for so long that when I look at a business, I can tell right away, well, is it recurring? Is it a good business? Is it a is it an average or decent business? And so yeah,   Michael: Makes total sense. And you mentioned that real estate is so capital intensive, and I agree, it oftentimes can be, do you see the two asset classes, stock market and real estate as totally separate and mutually exclusive? Or are you finding that it's easy enough to invest in both of them simultaneously?   Mariusz: I'm actually, so I started off in real estate, then I went to the stock market. And now I'm looking back at real estate again, because it has a place in somebody's portfolio, you know, I would like to have I like mobile home parks. And actually, next week, I'm going to California to look at some mobile home parks. Because I would like to create a revenue stream, take some of my profits that I made in the stock market and put it into more like real assets that can generate some income.   And so so it has a place but I think where people go, you know, wrong with this constant debate. And actually, in my first book that I wrote, why are we so clueless about the stock market? There's a chapter real estate versus stocks, which is better? And the answer is there is not that one is better, because stock market is just a vehicle to own own particular businesses. And real estate is also a vehicle to own a business. If you own an apartment building, that's your business, your tenants are your clients, you have expenses, that's your business, and you own it privately. Okay.   Now, in the stock market, you can also own real estate publicly, right, like REITs, you can do that you don't have the same control. But it's the same thing. So people focus so much on it. And I say, it doesn't matter if it's public, or non public focus on the business, you can lose money in real estate, if the tenants don't pay you, especially when you have a lot of debt. So don't think you've saved there. Just focus on good properties, whether it is to flip them or to renovate them, or so many people use different strategies in real estate. So you know, focus on what you do focus on the business and the stock market. There's no such thing as stock market is bad. There's some companies that I wouldn't touch and others I would so I focus on what's good, and not about, you know, how it's being owned. It's just a vehicle.   And, you know, I find it funny, going back to a little bit this whole discussion with micro cap stocks, you know, how the industry is like, stay away, it's, it's a penny stock. So picture, picture owning 100 unit apartment building, or 50, or whatever, you have an apartment building, and it's worth, you know, $2 million, or let's say $10 million. Okay, so, there's so many people out there that have their entire life savings, their entire retirement, owning apartment buildings, that's their retirement, that's their entire life worth of work. That's okay. That's okay to own a $10 million apartment building or portfolio of apartment buildings. But if you put that apartment building into public vehicle that's trading on an exchange now $10 million that's toxic because it's microcap. Now you can't touch it, because you're gonna go bankrupt. Lalala is the same thing.   So how can you say that, you know, $10 million worth of assets in a private ownership, that's a smart thing to do. But if you own a $10 million in a public market through a stock now, that's a penny stock, you're an idiot, you shouldn't touch it. See how crazy and ridiculous this is?   Michael: Yeah. But could it be argued that the penny stock or the stock at really any stock could go to zero versus the real estate? Can I mean, in theory could never actually get to zero?   Mariusz: Well, I mean, if a business fails, you can go to zero. And if your if your tenants stopped paying you guess what the real estate is gonna be there. But your ownership, your equity can go to zero, because the bank can take it away. So don't think you're safe. Just because, you know, a building is still there. Are you going to be the one owning it?   Michael: Right? Now makes total sense. Makes total sense. Mariusz, I'm curious, can you share with us some of your your big wins that you've had in the micro cap, stock picking world? Since you've been? got started?   Mariusz: Yeah, so I'll share with you a big win. And I'll share with you what I'm currently doing for hopefully a future win. So the biggest one I had was a company called Oracle, where I, I bought it for four cents. And today, it's almost $3. And I still hold the shares. So almost 100 times I put like, I think 80,000 into it. And today, it's like six or 7 million just that one position. And I still hold the shares. And so it's kind of interesting, because it has Similarities to real estate, because Oracle is a is a company that owns a copper project. Okay, so it's a real estate. It's, it's, it's a copper project located in Mexico.   And now with all this electric cars, everybody's you know, the developing world is, you know, getting more developed. And so we're consuming more copper, and there's not a lot of copper out there, or the copper supply is not keeping up with the demand. So I found this company in 2017. And what was interesting about it was a special situation because in 2000, that property is called Santa Tomas Copper Project was sold from a gentleman, Mexican gentleman to a crook, the crook bought it for 10 million back then, and never paid for the property. So the Mexican guy wanted to get the property back. But it was it was complicated because it was like in three different jurisdictions Bahamas, Mexico and the United States.   So that company said to him, You know what, we'll we'll get you your property back, we'll pay for the lawyers will win you the property back but in return, we will earn 50% interest in the property. So it took them like 10 years to win the lawsuit. So they won the lawsuit in in Bahamas. And when I got involved, they already won the lawsuit in Bahamas, but they still had to kind of finish the lawsuit and have everything correctly the title registered in Mexico. And and then what was happening in Arizona was that it was crazy because the two parties that were fighting with each other Oracle, Oracle had ownership interest in both parties. Like I kid you not they own both parties. And but what was happening in Arizona was that they were kind of in receivership of that other party. So they were foreclosing on that interest.   And so, so I was looking at a lawsuit and you know, I don't speak Spanish but I speak English. So in Arizona, I was buying the legal documents directly from the courthouse as the court as the lawsuit was going on. So I was like getting documents right away faster than the company faster than the lawyers because the moment is showed up I already got on the phone and I bought the document. So I saw that they were like winning every single step every single step the other party said something to the judge was like nope, you don't know what you're talking about wrong wrong wrong. So I didn't even have the legal experience. But I could tell that like there's no way they were going to lose so So I bought all these shares and of course they won the lawsuit they foreclosed on the property they registered the property in Mexico and and and and nobody was paying attention like I was the only one buying the legal documents the only one studying this it was on the company was trading on TSX Venture so you know toxic exchange know what no one was gonna touch it. They institutions didn't want to look into it because they don't get involved in the legals.   Okay. Well, I got involved and I studied it and it was it was easy. It was simple. And then I even wrote like a 20 page analysis on my website and I was uploading the documents for everybody who wanted to see too See it. So the long story short is, you know, the stock goes up like 100 times, you know, we, in total, the people that were following me, I would say they made like $300 million. Today, today, I get gifts, all kinds of gifts people send me thank you change my life and all this. But it was an example of it of a of a situation where nobody wanted to look at there was no competition, it was so easy, so easy to see when you actually rolled up your sleeves and did some work.   So that was an example of a success. And I still own the shares, because I still think they're going to go much, much higher from here, because now now the situation is a little different, the title is registered. Now they, they are kind of confirming the historical results that were on this property. Because this was not some kind of little dinky property. This was a property that was massive copper deposit that was even used as examples of a good depositing geological books. So I knew I was dealing with something major. But you know, when I was buying the shares, the market cap, or the value of the company was $3 million. I looked at it, and I already knew back then I said, this is worth half a billion dollars. And today, it's even worth more because copper is hot. Everybody's talking about electrification. So not I mean, now it's probably gonna sell for a billion or 2 billion. Who knows? But that's an example of a success story.   Michael: Wow. And how long did the process take from when you bought it at four cents for the stock to get up to $3 a share?   Mariusz: Well, from 2017 to two now. So actually, what was interesting is that it kind of took a dip, because of COVID. So it was like it was on its way to $1. And then the COVID came and it crashed. Because everything crashed, it crashed to like 20 cents. And then the moment COVID COVID recovered and, and copper recovered, it went from like 20 cents to, to over over three bucks. It went to as high as 3.66. And now it pulled back to like 2.60. But, you know, on my watch on my watch, it was almost 100 times, but it was more than 100 times because the lowest stock was was one penny. So it did go to $3. That's like 300 times, but I wasn't I wasn't involved when it was at one penny. I was involved when it was like four.   So So yeah, so that I mean, it's incredible story, but it just shows you that these opportunities exist. And it's kind of like a real estate example, because it's a real estate. It's a property, okay, it's not an apartment, but it's a property.   Michael: Awesome. So now I love your story Mariusz, and I want to let you get out of here. But before I do any final words of wisdom recommendations that you want to share with folks who are listening?   Mariusz: I would just say, Look, just think independently. Think for yourself. Yeah, I know, it's nice to be invested alongside with what everybody else is talking about. But the biggest money is made when you just think for yourself. I always use the example of if you're selling a house, would you like? Or if you buying a house? Would you like to be buying it when there's 100 Other people bidding with you? Or would you be the only one buying it? Right? It's it's obvious and when you're selling your house? When you selling a house? Would you like a lot of people looking at your house? Or would you like one person looking at your house? Again, obvious answer.   So then why do we like up investment opportunities or stocks only when everybody else is looking at them? Flip it. Think for yourself, look for yourself. Buy it when they're not watching and then sell it when they're watching.   Michael: Right, right. Oh, that's so good. That's so good. And if people want to get ahold you want to reach out to you want to learn more about what you're doing in my company's general what's the best way for them to get in touch?   Mariusz: Just visit my website microcap.explosions.com. You will find a link to my YouTube channel to my email. That's the best way to get ahold of me.   Michael: Amazing. Rich, thank you so much for taking the time. I really appreciate you coming on and we'll definitely chat soon.   Mariusz: Yeah, thanks a lot.   All right, everyone. That was our episode a big big big thank you to Mariusz, I will definitely be going online to check out his website micro cap explosions. You enjoyed the episode. Leave us a rating or review wherever it is you get your podcasts. And as always look forward to seeing you on the next one. Happy investing

Podcast: The Wall Street AnalyzerEpisode: Clear Blue Technologies International's (TSXV: CBLU) CEO Miriam Tuerk talks about their Smart-Off Grid TechnologyPub date: 2019-02-08Clear Blue Technologies International(TSXV: CBLU)CEO: Miriam Tuerk INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS: WSA: Good day from Wall Street, this is Juan Costello, Senior Analyst with the Wall Street Analyzer. Joining us today is Miriam Tuerk, CEO and Co-Founder of Clear Blue Technologies. The company trades on a TSX Venture, ticker symbol CBLU. Thanks for joining us today, Miriam. Miriam Tuerk: Very pleased to spend some time with you. WSA: Sure. Please start off by providing us with an overview of the company for some of our listeners here today that are new to your story. Miriam Tuerk: Well, let me start first of all with what our products are all about. We have a patented Smart-Off Grid technology, and we use that technology to remotely manage, monitor, and control the power of IoT devices anywhere in the world 24/7. So, say for example, you have a telecom tower or a light pole powered by a solar panel or a wind turbine and a battery. Our smart controller communicates wirelessly in real-time to send our cloud-based system critical data, and through that we have a management technology platform as well as a service team that allows us to manage, monitor and control that power anywhere in the world today. One of the best features in our products is that we can predict how the system is going to perform through the weather. For instance, in the City of Hamilton, Ontario, over the next week we might have very bad weather, and we need to manage through a low-power period. Similarly, if you're dealing with a very hot place in Africa, you could have a period of time where the weather is very, very hot and you need to manage power through it. So our unique technology makes the systems resilient, reliable and eliminates the need for locally trained resources, in order to allow us to provide mission critical uptime power for infrastructure all over the world. We generate revenue in two ways. Firstly, we provide energy-as-a-service. We manage, monitor and operate the systems for our customers on an ongoing recurring revenue basis around the world. And because they want guaranteed performance, they ask us to provide them with the best technology in-system. So, in addition to our controller and power electronics technology, we provide an entire power solution with the best batteries, the best solar panels and systems, and that's the second form of our revenue. We're geographically diverse. We have customers in 35 countries around the world in more than 20 states in the US and eight Canadian provinces. And globally our systems have been installed to power controlled lighting, security cameras, cell phone towers, including sites inEurope, the Middle East, Latin America, and sub-Saharan Africa. WSA: So bring us of the speed there on some of your most recent news and activities. You just had a project there in North Dakota and one in Toronto? Miriam Tuerk: Yeah, so in January we announced our deployment of our solution across North Dakota with the Department of Transportation there. Many people would be familiar with the Humbolt tragedy that happened in Canada last year at a rural intersection, and so the safety and reliability of lighting at rural intersections to eliminate bad car accidents is the key motivation for this. And the Department of Transport in North Dakota selected us to provide 50 systems at 50 rural intersections across the state. We also just announced 40 street lights along Bloor Street West in Toronto. Bloor Street West is kind of like the Greenwich Village of Toronto and very nice neighborhood. We're powering street lights, security cameras and Wi-Fi hotspots in that area. That's an exciting project for us because cost savings versus going to the grid was quite significant. The City of Toronto said that they thought it would cost $35,000 per pole to connect to the grid, and with us they were saving more than $30,000 per pole with an off-grid solution. We also announced our new product line for lithium batteries in the last month. And last year, we had a number of huge telecom announcements. We’ve been selected as the smart off-grid power service and solution company for the Telecom Infra Project, founded by Facebook, among others. We announced our partnership with BRCK to provide off-grid power to thousands of hotspots and communication spots in Africa. We also announced a big partnership with Telefónica. They have a program called Internet para Todos, which aims to connect 100 million people to cell networks. Telefónica is one of the top five telecom companies in the world, with €54 billion in annual revenue. And this is going to allow them to expand their network by a material percentage and grow their business. And then lastly, we were listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in November, and then we had a couple of other smaller announcements. WSA: So what are some of the main goals and milestones that you're looking at here over the course of the next six to 12 months? Miriam Tuerk: So we've already achieved a number of key milestones. As of Q3 2018, we had installed more than 3350 systems worldwide. We listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. And our trailing fourth quarter revenues ended September 30th of last year with just under $4.5 million, which was almost 300% increase over the revenue of the same period of the previous year. So we are starting to move up the hockey stick in terms of recurring revenue and one-time revenue—we're doubling our revenue every year right now. And we've also laid in place a number of key partnerships, including our collaboration with the Telecom Infra Project, which was founded by Facebook, Intel, Nokia, SK Telecom and Deutsche Telekom. And that initiative which have got billions of dollars of investments from more than 400 companies around the world is planning on bringing the next billion people online and in order to do that they need power. From a forward-looking perspective, we're seeking selective opportunities to grow in different geographic marketplaces. We see some exciting things happening in South America as a result of our work we're doing with Telefónica in Peru and that will still grow. We see a lot of potential for this technology in Southeast Asia and other emerging markets. We hope to grow our partnership with Vanu out of Rwanda, and then potentially to places like India. And we're also starting to move and transition our revenue model to more and more increasing recurring revenue and a subscription based service. Already today, every customer we sell to has a recurring revenue service management contract with us where we manage and operate the systems. And our plan is to grow our recurring revenue significantly because that delivers value to the customer and value to our shareholders. WSA: Sure, what is the current market opportunity regarding the solar panel lighting and what makes you uniquely position there to capitalize and grab market share? Miriam Tuerk: So, the interesting thing about the power grid today is that it has not changed in over 100 years. It's pretty much the same as what Tesla and Westinghouse were building over a 100 years ago. Big central power generation and then a big mass of distribution networks is kind of what the telecom industry looked like 30 years ago. So when you look at the telecom industry, you used to have this monopolistic control of a slow-moving industry. There was one phone per household in North America, and one out of every 10 homes in an emerging market might have had a phone. AT&T and the RBACs and they had to try to break them up to try to introduce some disruption and get that industry moving forward. With the movement from grid telecom to wireless telecom all of a sudden, you had huge explosion in the number of wireless devices out there. Now everybody in the emerging markets has wireless telecommunications in many different places. And in the Western markets you have, say, five cell phones in the house. So the market grew significantly. From a capital markets perspective we went from AT&T, which was a low-valued monopolistic company not moving forward to significant disruption, innovation and competition. And so today you have T-Mobile, Verizon Mobile and Virgin Mobile who are all new entrants into the marketplace that have grabbed big market share. The power industry is about to go through exactly that same disruption. And the reason is because of solar technology. It’s not because solar is green that is a great benefit and a key value, but it's because our solar cell is 2 inches in size. And so if you do a big central generation station for water for hydro, for example, you have to build a huge generating station. But if you’re building a solar plant you’re taking millions of little solar cells and you're putting them in a central solar farm. The problem is $.40 of solar in a farm cost you another $.60 of cabling and distribution so that you're paying a buck for that solar at the streetlight pole or at the cell phone tower or at the security camera or at your house. But if you now take that $0.40 of solar and you put it at the streetlight, it costs you $.40 instead of the dollar. And so this fundamental economic shift. And the fact that it’s not a three year or a five year investment, it's a one-time cost savings, is driving this massive rollout. The City of Toronto at Bloor West Village estimated that it was going to cost them $35,000 per pole to connect that pole to the grid. Even though it was right in downtown Toronto right on the side of the sidewalk power is only 20, 30 feet away — but it's 20, 30 feet through concrete through rights-of-way, through roadways and through buildings and so very expensive. And instead of spending $35,000 they spent about $5,000 for the solar off-grid power. So that huge and compelling change also introduces competition. Now, all of a sudden, when the City of Hamilton wants to put in a wind streetlight down the street or a Wi-Fi hotspot somewhere they have more choices than just their local power utility. And so through that we believe over the next five to 10 years the world is going to go wireless power. We're aiming to become the leading energy-as-a-service company that's managing and operating those systems for the City of Toronto, the City of Hamilton, Telefónica and any other customer around the world, as that's where the business opportunity is. WSA: You were able to increase your revenues last quarter by over 280%. What are some of the key drivers there that you believe investors should be aware of about the company? Miriam Tuerk: The key driver is that in the Western markets, like North America, and in mission critical infrastructure, we've been able to prove to our customers how systems work and that they are operating well. So if you’re in Long Island, New York, and you've got these smart off-grid solar streetlights on a new roadway, we're able to show that we can make it through a Nor'Easter. We can make it through a rainstorm, if there's shading, or a new tree is growing, and here is how the systems perform. And because of that, we have built significant confidence in our products. And through that confidence we're starting to get everybody. So last fall we were able to announce that some traction in the Ontario market, we now have more than 18 municipalities in Southern Ontario. Everyone is starting to use it, because they have experienced our energy-as-a-service, and the proof of the experience of these systems work. And then when you look at things like the Telecom Infra Project. Two years ago, we did not have any telecommunications projects and systems. We did our first project with Vanu from the Bose family in the middle of 2017 about a year and a half ago, and within 18 months we went from 0% revenue, to 10% of total revenue in Q3 2018. And so in emerging markets and Western markets, and in both verticals (our lighting street infrastructure and our telecom cell phone tower business), we are growing significantly. And as we know, if we get into other verticals and deploy globally, the growth path is quite strong for us. WSA: Sure, and perhaps you can walk us through your background and experience Miriam and talk about who the key management team there is? Miriam Tuerk: So the company was founded by myself, John Tuerk, who is our Chief Power Officer and Mark Windrim who is our Chief Technology Officer. We started the company in my basement in 2011 and we all came from technical backgrounds in energy and in IT. We wanted to use our expertise to create something that could facilitate clean power, that with both low-cost and reliable enough to be installed for critical systems. We wanted to build a company that wasn’t dependent upon some of these, but was really going to be compelling from a business value proposition and solved the bigger problem. There is a huge opportunity for growth in this market. As our world becomes increasingly digitalized, we see growth in the Internet of Things, but the energy demand for these high-tech devices is actually decreasing. Through the growth of all of these smart devices we're going to have things such as safer railway infrastructures that have more braking systems to prevent train disrailment, and we have dark rural intersections which will reduce the risk of car accidents. All of that demand creates a significant opportunity to deliver something mission critical that's a key part of our safety and our infrastructure, and that can be cost beneficial with off-grid renewable energy. And because of this, we think the smart off-grid power in both the developed and the emerging world is going to explode, and it’s going to become the dominant power solution. I think that five to 10 years from now, in the same way that I would never think of putting a phone on my desk, I just use cellular phones, I'm going to not even think about wiring every streetlight or every telecom tower to the grid. It’s going to take over the emerging market very quickly. And as the developed world replaces their infrastructure and rolls out new IoT projects, like 5G which needs new telecom systems installed every few hundred feet. So it's a massive infrastructure rollout, and powering that through solar off-grid and eliminating the cable destruction is really where the market is going to go. WSA: Right, so once again joining us today is Miriam Tuerk, the CEO and Founder for Clear Blue Technologies. The company trades on the TSX venture, ticker symbol CBLU. And before we conclude here Miriam to recap some of your key points, why do you believe investors should consider the company as a good investment opportunity today? Miriam Tuerk: So with our growth strategy of geographic expansion, greater penetration in the global industry verticals and continued expansion into new industry and new vertical we believe that 2019 is going to be a breakout year for Clear Blue. Key pilot projects with new, very large customers that we announced last year like BRCK and Telefónica are a major focus for our team, and they lay the foundation for the future growth that we plan to capitalize on. We are confident that we will deliver long-term shareholder value as the revenues and margins grow as we grow our recurring revenue base. Clear Blue really at the start line. The market opportunity is huge and the telecom marketplace just shows you what happens when you have that type of transition. The time is now. Things are moving very quickly. We’re the first company in the sector, so we are the first market, we have a market leadership position. And with Facebook selecting us as the smart off-grid partner in the marketplace, they told us that they had talked to every major power company. I don’t want to list them, but they had gone to many of the top ones you'd think of when you talk about power technology, and no one had what we had built from a capability perspective. And then also we already have a huge footprint of existing customers. We have systems in 35 countries around the world and a proven proper hub, referenceable track record with many cities, many governments, many municipalities and many telcos. We've demonstrated that this is a great opportunity and that we can deliver on that opportunity to ultimately deliver great results to our shareholders, investors and our customers and other stakeholders. WSA: Well, we certainly look forward to continue and to track the company's growth and report on your upcoming progress, and we like to thank you for taking the time to join us today there Miriam and update our registered audience on CBLU. It was great having you on. Miriam Tuerk: Thanks so much for showing some interest in what we're doing.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from The Wall Street Analyzer, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

In this episode, we talk about going public!  Delilah Panio, Vice President at the TMX Group joins us to discuss what it means and what it takes to go public. Delilah focuses on educating high potential ventures on the benefits of using the TSX and/or the TSX Venture as an opportunity to raise capital list on a reputable market and potentially uplist to larger markets. We both agree that most companies aren't meant to go public. But for those who are, the Canadian Public Venture Capital model is a very real opportunity to raise capital and grow. Being public requires a lot of investment beyond just listing fees. For example, an investor relations program is a priority in competing to attract and retain shareholders. That said, the potential upsides can far outweigh the costs. To become a publicly listed company, there is a process and best practices to follow. This interview is a big step towards shedding light on another valuable source of capital and growth.  

Brady Fletcher is the Managing Director of the TSX Venture. This is an interesting discussion about how the Venture should be viewed and used to grow your business. We discuss the power of Public Venture Capital and compare it with other funding options. We get into the mechanics of Capital Pool Companies or CPC's and how it really takes a village to raise a venture company. The interview is an eye-opener to the process as well as to the potential when done right! Stay tuned as I know there's value here for everyone.
