Gold and Gold-Copper-Silver Values Are Looking Prime For The Picking

by

Here’s something all investors looking at gold and gold opportunities should know: The gold mining industry is seriously depleting its reserves, not finding new deposits fast enough to keep up, and could now be on the verge of the most profitable turning point in decades.

The climate for gold is looking stronger as world tensions rise and small cap mining companies are falling into favor again. Our eyes are on those companies seeking secure gold resources; in this case Lucky Minerals Inc. (TSX.V: LJ) (OTC: LJMHF) for its gold-copper-silver project in the western US state of Montana. Based on gold’s current moves, Lucky Minerals deserves investors’ attention now.

According to analysis by BMO Capital Markets and Bloomberg, the gold mine supply will peak in 2019 and continue falling through at least 2025 (1).

Large producers such as Barrick (NYSE:ABX), Goldcorp (NYSE:GG), Newmont (NYSE:NEM) and Kinross (NYSE:KGC) are focusing directly on the Western United States to provide new supplies. These and many other companies have made new investments there, and are now searching for additional lucrative projects.

Clearly these investments are being focused on what is a stable political and operating environment. This makes for an interesting M&A climate and some exceptional opportunities for junior mining companies.

For our readers the equation is simple: scout out the best values in secure mining regions with new or developing gold and gold-copper-silver projects, get on board now and watch for momentum as reserves run down and/or gold rallies.

Lucky Minerals, whose Emigrant gold project is forming into what could be a 1 to 2 billion tonne deposit in the heart of Montana, could easily be one of the best targets we’ve located.

New Gold Projects are Being Very Well Rewarded.

New gold projects with real merit, including significant size and development potential, are seeing rich rewards. For example, investors turned $200 million to $2.3 billion with Fronteer Gold, a Nevada junior exploration company acquired by Newmont Mining in 2011. Endeavour Mining purchased True Gold for U$190 million in 2016.(2)

The successful mining companies locate deposits, drill them off, remove the risks associated with the early stages and then sell or develop them to the mining production stage. Nearly all major discoveries in the western United States that have followed this formula have found solid support and been rewarded greatly.

The market for gold has been marching higher since early September and has climbed to over a 5-month high recently. Now, the tempo of investment is stepping up markedly.

The consensus appears to hold that considering the overall market, the current gold rally seems well supported. And here’s where juniors can really rule the day.

You Could BUY a Junior Gold Mining Stock at Pennies a Share – See Our Recommendation

Montana Is an Ideal Spot for Mining

Montana has long been home to some very successful mining companies.

The state is 8th in total gold production out of all the western states, including Nevada. Mining is the state’s 6th largest employer. It has a solid, capable mining work force. It is amenable to mining practices with reasonable regulation, and it has a strong record for accommodating mining exploration.

More than anything, Montana offers a rock stable political climate.

All these factors play heavily into junior mining companies like Lucky Minerals being able to operate successfully at a small scale and then grow to become large plays.

If it’s ease of access, reasonable environmental practices, solid economics and political stability that companies seek, then Montana is a Triple A mining location.

There are a number of successful Montana mining companies who live by the state’s strong mining provisions including Montana Tunnels; Placer Dome Inc. and Stillwater Mining Company to name a few.

This is the vicinity where Lucky Minerals has located its’ stake in the Emigrant Mining District, which the U.S. Geological Survey includes as one of the world’s giant porphyry systems in its’ report and global database.

Lucky Mineral’s Emigrant Creek Montana Project

Lucky Mineral’s formula is relatively simple: acquire a potentially large gold-copper-silver trend in the Western US, re-interpret historical drilling data into a new target model and then drill out the discoveries in a higher priced gold market, not overspending or over extending themselves.

This could be compared to several Montana mining companies with major projects including New Gold’s Afton Mine, Aurico Metals’ Kemess underground projects, and Rio Tinto/ BHP Billiton’s Resolution Copper Mine, among others.

Lucky Mineral’s exploration focus is a historic deposit located at Emigrant Creek in southern central Montana. The property is comprised of about 15 square kilometers (6 square miles) and situated around some historic 68-hole drill program areas that Lucky now holds in a large database.

In all, about $20 million has been spent on developing the drilling, IP surveys, assays and various techniques to define and evaluate the potential deposit. Results show there are six copper-gold-silver deposits identified within the claim area, which is believed to be all part of one large porphyry (resource bearing) system.

Interestingly, the extensive drilling carried out by previous companies did not examine the entire system, since it was mostly above the copper and gold part of the system. What Lucky Mineral’s veteran mining management believes is that the higher grade metal is considered to be below the previous drilling.

Lucky Minerals is carrying out a $2.5 million drill program of its own to further define the resource.

All included, the Emigrant package of properties (nine patented claims and eight unpatented claims) that Lucky Minerals has managed to bring together holds a potential 1 to 2 billion tonne mineral asset. Lucky Minerals recently managed to amalgamate individual properties so that they can integrate them as one large asset.(4)

The property has significant reported gold and copper that’s summarized as longer intersections of lower grade gold with shorter sections of high grade gold. These are accompanied by significant amounts of copper, silver and molybdenum.

As you would imagine, the Emigrant Creek Project has been well thought out with easily access by road, close proximity to rail for shipping product to smelters in Utah and Arizona, access to major water and power within 20 kilometers and access to major infrastructure about 50 km away in Livingston, Montana.

Look for a Gold-Copper-Silver Mining Stock That Could Return 10x, 20x or more! – See Our Recommendation

Getting in at the Earliest Stage with Junior Miners

Market watchers and analysts suggest putting roughly 20% of your gold into the hard asset. That’s a great strategy if you believe in the yellow metal.

But they also suggest getting in at the source, with the gold miners and here’s where the juniors shine. For truly large returns (10x, 20x etc.), we seek out early stage companies with the potential for massive assets. These are nearly always junior mining companies, as with Lucky Minerals Inc.

We favor juniors for their record returns and ability to leverage pure plays. Juniors can go all-in for exploration at lower costs and pull back as needed to preserve capital. The large diversified miners rarely have this luxury, so they don’t often create new discoveries or turn old ones into major plays.

Backing juniors means more risk than the BIG mining companies. But that hasn’t deterred those investors who have doubled, tripled or quadrupled their returns on early stage gold projects.

It’s certain that Lucky Minerals is a junior mining company that has put itself in the lead position of what could be a very big project that if not brought to production, could make an excellent buy-out target for major players, and an even greater potential pay-off.

FEATURE STOCK: FOR COMPARISON

[table id=20 /]

Gold Group Winners: Too Late for Major Gains, But Still Good to Compare

These gold mining companies (mining for gold/copper/silver etc.) have been increasing their efforts over the past year. The market has been marching higher since early September and has climbed to over a 5-month high recently.(3) We’ve posted the leaders in mining that have vast gold interests, many in the Western United States. These are big board stocks with massive share caps, so they are not likely to see the potential rise in value that are possible with junior miners. They are established gold miners to model after in the mining space.

[table id=19 /]

Our Recommendation: We Give Lucky Minerals Our Best Value BUY Rating

If gold deserves your attention, then Lucky Minerals should front and center right now.

The dark characters, like North Korea and Russia have gotten bolder. China has upped its’ game. The US no longer runs unquestioned as the world’s most powerful and influential country. All these factors lead to the potential for war, or at least the highest level of conflict, at the most likely point in decades.

Global governments have taken to printing money as a means to further economic growth. Central banks have lowered interest rates to insanely low levels, even dipping into the negative.

Britain’s “Brexit” now raises serious questions about the viability of even the European financial system. People are even asking “Will the euro survive?”.

At the same time, governments around the globe are devaluing their currencies on purpose and in some cases, unintentionally.

This is the exact environment in which precious metals offer their best value.

We see this in the movement of the currencies and as evidenced, gold is outperforming stocks.

That’s good for gold mining companies across the board, but it’s especially true for our favored junior miners. When gold rises, those companies that are leveraged to the price of the commodity rise much higher. It’s simple math.

It’s happened plenty. For example, the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDXJ)(5) rose 183% in a single six-month period in 2016. It then went on a 30% run from May to September of 2017.

Given the landscape, we believe Lucky Minerals is located in one of the most politically stable and secure gold mining regions in the world. But that’s not the only reason for to investors to consider this play.

The Emigrant Mineral Trend is potentially very large and could put Lucky Minerals on top of 1 to 2 billion tonnes of economic gold, copper, silver and molybdenum. If the Emigrant mineral structure connects at a lower depth as the company suspects, this could be an extremely viable domestic gold-copper-silver play that rivals the best mining operations in the region.

This situation is still relatively early stage, so Lucky Mineral’s stock trades at just pennies per share.

It’s likely that gold investors will see the data and heed the call. Many are already on this trend and seeking to capture the best values. Others may watch it pass by thinking that gold reserves will somehow be restored. That’s unlikely.

We foresee a coming gold rally that will fuel this end of the market. When junior miner companies do strike, they strike BIG, with stock valuations that shoot up by factors of 10.

Gold offers security on many levels and we look for junior miners, and especially developing US players to lead the market trend.

When It Comes To Investing In The Cannabis Sector, This Segment Can’t Be Overlooked

by

Photo: Testing, research and extraction technologies are one of three prime areas where the massive Cannabis boom is being felt immediately. We’ve singled out Abattis Bioceuticals Corp. (OTC: ATTBF) (CSE: ATT) as an example company that cannabis minded investors can get in on ahead of the crowd.

After what was easily the hottest year for cannabis stocks, expectations on the legal marijuana related sector are higher than ever.

Of the dozen main players in the space, the average marijuana stock is up 332% over the past year.1

What savvy investors are focussing on now is how this rapidly developing sector can support what looks to be massive growth into the future. Apart from the obvious legalization, three areas are emerging that will be critical in the bid to ensure the sector’s meteoric rise: Better Testing and Extraction, More Medical Uses and Ensuring Adequate Supplies.

Companies who can deliver on these promises stand to make Cannabis investors a lot of money.

One company that appears to be well situated to capitalize on the Research, Testing and Extraction segment is Abattis Bioceuticals Corp (CSE: ATT – OTCQB: ATTBF), which we discuss below, along with a few other key players positioned for success.

The overall optimism led researchers at New Frontier Data to project that the cannabis industry will have created a whopping 283,422 jobs, grow to and generate $2.3 Billion in tax revenue—both by 2020.2

The same study predicted that the sector as a whole will grow to $24.1 Billion by 2025.

But in order to maintain the course in order to get to $24 Billion, companies will need to meet the demands of these three key developing areas:

– Our first and favorite sector may surprise you since it is not actually the cultivation, it’s going to be way bigger, and we’ve found a company that is widely undiscovered as noted below in our first example:

  1.  BETTER TESTING AND EXTRACTION

    Company: Abattis Bioceuticals Corp (CSE: ATT – OTCQB: ATTBF)

    Mkt Cap: $15.21M

    Still very early in its company’s story, Abattis has wisely burst onto the scene as a tester.  Wasting no time in getting its cannabis testing facility opened in Langley, BC, ahead of Canada’s full-scale legalization4 of cannabis expected by July 1, 2018, Abattis swiftly got itself into the game and already has garnered revenues.

    Abattis Bioceuticals’ subsidiary Northern Vine Labs opened its doors in May 2017, to serve the rising demand for cannabis testing. The company had been pursuing that license since 2014, and officially became licensed in October 2016.

    What is cannabis testing?

    In order to maintain quality control, and meet both regulatory, and market demands, cannabis laboratories test for potency, purity, and details such as terpene counts. Testing also protects the consumer by screening for contaminants such as bacteria, heavy metals, and unapproved pesticides.

    (For more information on Health Canada’s mandatory testing on medical cannabis click here. )

    For the 52 licensed producers in Canada, Health Canada introduced random testing to address these issues. Abattis’s facility is just 1 of 30 approved facilities in Canada, and one of the eight in BC’s lower mainland. Even better, Abattis is the only company available on the public markets, making it a solid choice in this sector. Once recreational cannabis becomes available in mid-2018, everyone will have to use a facility like what Abattis already has a leg up on, so keep that in mind while the PPS is low here.

    “Abattis Bioceuticals is one of very few publicly listed companies with comprehensive testing and extraction capabilities. They are also one of only 30 Health Canada approved labs able to handle cannabis for all forms of testing.”

    Demand for cannabis testing is big and getting bigger fast.

    The global cannabis testing market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.5%, culminating towards a $1.42 billion market by 2021.5

    In order to hit the shelves, producers will need to have an accurate depiction of the drug’s potency, including the levels of the most sought after medicinal components of cannabis, THC and CBD. To do that, even the mega producers will require a third party to test their product before it goes to market.

    Abattis is smartly staking itself as a leader in the testing field, having built a lab, and staffed it with industry experts to ensure the quality standard they promise the sector.

    The Northern Vine Labs facility will not just be used for testing, however. Another major component to the facility will be in extraction and formulation.

    This means that the company will be involved in innovation of methods to extract medicinal components from cannabis on a massive industrial scale, and to formulate them for consumer products.

    As a cooperative arm of the company to run in conjunction with Northern Vine Labs, Abattis has formed another subsidiary called Vergence, in order to market and sell natural, safe, and effective health products.

    Those products will target reducing pain caused from inflammation, boost immunity, and increase nutrient absorption. As natural remedies, these products will likely reach the market faster than a pharmaceutical product would, without the lengthy and costly clinical trials.

    According to the CBD Report published by The Hemp Business Journal, the US hemp-derived CBD market will total approximately $115 million this year, with an estimate to grow to $2.1 billion by 2020.6

    Abattis is tight-lipped about its ability to extract cannabinoids and terpenoids from cannabis at its facilities, however, it hasn’t been shy about hinting that it aims to be a leader in the extraction space. There’s a possibility that extraction will overtake testing as the company’s primary revenue model in the future.

     

  2.  MORE MEDICAL USES

    Company: Cara Therapeutics (CARA)

    Mkt Cap: $495M

    After a wild month that saw Cara Therapeutics rise to $26 per share, and plummeting to $12 per share within a week, this giant is on its way back to stardom.

    The bounce back came on the announcement of encouraging data from its phase 1 trials of oral CR845, as a treatment for pain and itching in patients with chronic kidney disease and undergoing hemodialysis. All tested doses were well tolerated when administrated daily.

    This came as a relief for shareholders after they saw the value of the company drop upon the same drug’s treatment for patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee. Lower doses achieved statistical significance. Only the highest dose received statistical significance. It’s still possible based on those results to test higher doses for significance.

    Medical marijuana sales, from pharmaceutical extracts to medically cultivated flowers, currently make up the lion’s share of the cannabis sector. Medical sales in 2017 are projected to grow to $5.3 billion in 2017, and account for 67% of total cannabis sales.2

    That means that medical cannabis patients are outspending adult-use consumers at a nearly 3 to 1 basis.

    While medical sales are projected to exceed $13.2 billion by 2020, the medical share of the total cannabis sales is expected to drop to 55% of all sales as well.

    Much of that has to do with the recreational legalization in larger states, like California, and in holiday states like Nevada.

    As cannabis stocks fly, the developers of new medicinal applications and products stand to make the most gains.

    While Cara fluctuated during its trials, new drug development was the reason that AXIM Biotechnologies (NASDAQ: AXIM) absolutely crushed it in 2016-17.

    As stated earlier, the average marijuana stock rose 332% over the last year.

    Much of that increase is skewed by the meteoric rise of AXIM Biotechnologies, whose year-over-year increase was 2,363%.

    You read that right.

    A large portion of that success can be attributed to the development of AXIM’s CanChew Plus Chewing Gum, used for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome—or IBS. Used as an alternative delivery system to inhalation, CanChew tapped into the act of chewing which bypasses the gastrointestinal system and improves the bioavailability of cannabinoids.3

    Because medical uses for cannabis are still in their infancy, there are plenty of repeatable AXIM-like stories out there yet to be told.

 

  1. ENSURING A SUPPLY CHAIN SURPLUS

          Aurora Cannabis – ACBFF, ACB

          Mkt Cap: $941.6M

Second only to Axim over the last year was top performer Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACBFF)(TSX: ACB), which grew 465% year-over-year, rising from a low of $0.30 to $2.59 and a market cap just a shade under a Billion, at $941.6 million.

The company’s well deserved move to the TSX from the TSX venture this week is a pat on the back for a solid year that included record yields at Aurora’s Mountain View County production facility, and on the anticipation of the opening of its 100,000+ kg Aurora Sky facility to be located near the Edmonton International Airport.

With the nearing completion of a third production facility in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Aurora’s production capacity is skyrocketing.

But supplies are still lagging in the market as a whole, especially after shelves emptied rapidly in Nevada after the state began adult-use sales on July 1.

Supply issues reached such dire levels, that Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval had to issue a state of emergency to allow state officials to decide on new rules to ease the shortage.7

As Canada (where Aurora is headquartered) inches closer to nation-wide marijuana legalization, it’s doubtful that the country will encounter the same scale of supply problems that hit Nevada.8 Especially with massive production coming from companies such as Aurora.

With other major Canadian producers, such as Canopy Growth Corp. (TSX: WEED) growing for both the North American and German markets, it’ll be interesting to see how supplies meet demand on a global scale.

CAPTURING THE TREND

Cannabis has still not been registered as a medicine in any country, and only a small number of cannabinoid medicines have reached the market.

With over 100 cannabinoids, and over 700 other compounds such as flavonoids and terpenes, the cannabis plant is still barely understood, as the legality over researching it, and testing its benefits has provided hurdles until recently.9

Hence the need for new, better and more abundant research and testing capabilities to keep pace with the industry’s growth.

“In order to maintain this growth pattern, industry players will need to provide the market with More Medical Uses, Better Testing and Extraction, and to Ensure Supplies.”

Public perception of the drug has changed significantly over the past decade, with it being seen more favorably than ever.

According to a survey2 done by New Frontier Data and Full Circle Research this January, 55% of respondents believed “cannabis should be legalized, regulated and taxed like cigarettes and alcohol”, and an additional 26% believed it should at least be “legal for medical use with a doctor’s recommendation.”

In fact, only 9% responded that cannabis should be illegal. Overall, 63% of those surveyed believed that the federal government should legalize cannabis, and 86% believed it has valid medical uses.

In 2016, 4 out of the 5 US states that voted on adult-use of cannabis passed legalization initiatives, with an average adult-use vote of 53% in favour. And all 4 states that voted on medical use passed their initiatives, with an average medical use vote of 62%.

For those that still hold doubt to the growth potential of the cannabis sector, there’s really nothing that will convince you. Sales are growing significantly for retailers, even as more retailers hit the scene.

In order to maintain this growth pattern, industry players will need to provide the market with More Medical Uses, Better Testing and Extraction, and to Ensure Supplies.

If, as all of the indicators suggest, the industry continues on its staggering growth, the opportunity to take advantage of the emerging trends is here, now. The benefactors of the impact like Abattis Bioceuticals, stand to make huge gains, while the leaders like Aurora Cannabis and Axim can build an even bigger lead against competitors who must surely emerge.

WiFi woes: the difficulties of improving internet services

by

The Internet of Things (IoT) is going to require massive connectivity. That means enormous needs for infrastructure and support. It also means huge demand for new technology like the Wi-Fi solutions being offered by Edgewater Wireless Systems (TSX.V: YFI). This is a brilliant, emerging technology company with an early lead in the charge towards the IoT.

The coming revolution is bigger than anything you can imagine.

It’s about a radical change in the way technology interacts in real-time without human intervention. It is known as the Internet of Things or IoT, and it’s coming like a freight train right at us.

While it will affect nearly everything we see and do, it’s a slow revolution. That’s because core technologies take time to change and the systems being replaced represent a massive installed base of everything from HVAC systems, home appliances and cars to electric trains, building security and health diagnostics.

With this kind of growth potential, investors have to be asking, what are the key points to enter this impressive sector? Where can I find profits now?

There are technologies and companies ready to deliver big profits now that could lead to potentially much bigger ones in the future. Our review of the IoT market has revealed a company that’s at the focal point of one of the most important aspects of the coming infrastructure: Wi-Fi and connectivity.

Our research shows that Edgewater Wireless Systems is a little known company that’s been quietly developing breakthrough technology, filing patents and winning the accolades of industry peers with its revolutionary approach.

Key indicators set off the must-watch alerts when reviewing Edgewater Wireless Systems:

  • The company innovates technology that is a vital part of the IoT needs now and even more so for the future
  • The technology Edgewater is forwarding is covered by 20+ patents and offers solutions to Wi-Fi’s major limitations
  • Edgewater’s products are being endorsed by very large peers within the industry –even global standards organizations
  • The company has invested $60 million to date bringing its technology to market
  • Edgewater is launching with a Top 5, Fortune 500 retailer for the world’s largest Wi-Fi and IoT deployment
  • The company’s first licensing agreement of its patent was with Apple Inc.
  • Edgewater has been selected by the World Wireless Broadband Alliance to provide industry-leading product guidance

We rarely see a company at this early stage with this kind of strong investment base, high level of industry involvement, and yet remains so undervalued.

We urge our readers to learn more about the IoT and see why we think Edgewater Wireless Systems could become one of the best opportunities on the path to deployment of the connected world.

The Internet of Things is Already Here

Even if you don’t know it yet, the IoT is part of our day to day life.

It is, for lack of a better description, “the integration of people, processes and technology with connectable devices and sensors to enable remote monitoring, status, manipulation and evaluation of trends of such devices.” (1)

In other words, a totally connected world.

As envisioned, the IoT world will use a combination of hardware, software, data and services to connect all of our sensor-driven devices allowing them to operate together. The applications are nearly limitless including smart grids, homes, cities, transportation networks, healthcare devices, automobiles and many services and ideas not yet conceived.

Investors got pumped about the IoT several years ago, but have mostly tired of waiting for the smart tech to play catch up. The problem is that it takes time to build this infrastructure. That’s a big reason why Edgewater Wireless (TSX.V: YFI) is so attractive. They have managed to keep their eye on the ball and create technology for the next stage and beyond.

The IoT space will almost certainly produce several prodigies –companies that generate huge returns, simply by taking the first mover position.

We’re convinced that Edgewater Wireless is in that position with its solutions that align perfectly with current needs and the growth of the IoT.

The IoT Relies On Wi-Fi for Its Massive Growth

The leading research firm Gartner reports that there are some 3.8 billion connected things right now, but by 2020 the firm estimates there will be 25 billion smart devices.

Take a moment to consider just how many devices that really is.

John Chambers, the longtime leader of Cisco Systems forecasts 50 billion connected devices within five years. Total projected market value: $19 trillion.

Now consider that everywhere there is a connected device, there is a connection by Wi-Fi or other wireless. The numbers are almost mind numbing.

The bottom line is that the majority of these connections will rely on Wi-Fi to talk to one another and the networks that control them.

The Global market for Wi-Fi is already massive and the growth in connectivity just means even more Wi-Fi connections and traffic.

According to Cisco’s Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast, global mobile data traffic grew 63 percent in 2016 and global mobile data traffic reached 7.2 exabytes per month at the end of 2016, up from 4.4 exabytes per month at the end of 2015. (One exabyte is equivalent to one billion gigabytes, and one thousand petabytes.) (2)

Mobile data traffic has grown an astonishing 18-fold over the past 5 years. Mobile networks carried 400 petabytes per month in 2011.

It’s likely that you never even considered this market that is exploding right under our very noses. This is the fertile ground where Edgewater Wireless Systems (TSX.V: YFI) has staked its claim.

Edgewater Wireless Systems’ WiFi3™ Solves Big Problems

You may know nothing about Wi-Fi or connectivity, but you certainly know when you can’t get a connection on your smart phone, pad or notebook computer.

That is the problem that Edgewater Wireless overcomes with a revolutionary technology branded as WiFi3™.  It solves the three main issues that impact legacy Wi-Fi performance — interference, capacity and density.

Edgewater Wireless’ innovation involves using the same Wi-Fi, but delivering multiple channels per radio.

Think of conventional Wi-Fi as a kind of single lane highway. Your data can only move as fast as the traffic in front of you. Edgewater’s approach opens up the entire pathway using multiple radio channels to create a kind of multi-lane superhighway allowing for huge increases in traffic.

In high-density or high-interference applications, current WiFi based on a single-channel radio architecture slows dramatically causing mass slowing and drop out.

Edgewater’s innovative and patented multi-lane approach is designed to allow network vendors and operators to handle the exponential increase in connected devices and data demand in larger venues, public areas, large enterprises and in homes.

In industry peer testing, WiFi3™ was shown to deliver 20-40x greater performance vs. traditional Wi-Fi applied to high density applications. Perhaps just as important, the approach lowers network infrastructure costs by 30—50%. (3)

Edgewater Wireless Systems’ aera™ access point products powered by its patented Wi-Fi3™ technology is a big deal in Wi-Fi circles. This is the world’s first 6-Band Wi-Fi Router.

Edgewater Wireless not only developed the technology, they have protected their IP with 20+ patent filings centered on solving wireless interference.

Wi-Fi3™ and multi-channel architecture are simple reasons why Edgewater Wireless’ new technology can revolutionize Wi-Fi connectivity and move the company to a whole new level.

Not One, But Three Roads to Success

 Edgewater Wireless (TSX.V: YFI) is on track with its innovations to make headway in three profitable areas that will become pillars of the IoT.

  • High Density Wi-Fi Products and Solutions

Edgewater Wireless’ technology shines brightest in high density areas, like malls, conference centers, hotels, airports and stadiums. Its WiFi3™ and access point technology represent a total solution for these complex and expensive applications.

Just recently, Edgewater Wireless’ system was deployed at the world’s first stadium network powered by WiFi3™. The Wagener Stadium wireless network uses Edgewater Wireless aera™ access points powered by WiFi3™ and was installed in conjunction with the start of the 2017 European Hockey Championships.

The installed stadium, which is located in Amstelveen, Netherlands, holds an audience of 9,000 and now has wireless network capacity to connect over 2,000 premium guests and seamlessly provide WiFi service to stadium personnel and stadium operations.

This high density application is a perfect showcase for the WiFi3™ and aera™ product deployments. It is exactly the type of deployment that Edgewater Wireless is built to handle at locations around the world.

Who Is going to handle all that traffic? Major terminals and public venues are demanding greater access to Wi-Fi. Edgewater Wireless Systems’ WiFi3™ and connection point access can improve high density connectivity while reducing operating costs for vendors.

Edgewater estimates that the market for hi density Wi-Fi locations including stadium, concert, and public spaces is valued at $3.1 billion alone. This is a market just waiting to be tapped with a superior solution.

  • OEM and Licensing WiFi3™ Powered Products

The OEM and Licensing side of the company involves Wifi3™ powered radios, chips and software embedded into other manufacturers’ products.

This is a highly lucrative area for Edgewater Wireless Systems (TSX.V: YFI).

The company has had early successes in Small Cell, DAS and with a Top 5 retailer to deliver advanced products using wiFi3™. (4)

  • Patent Licensing

This may become one of the most important aspects of Edgewater Wireless’ business.

The company has a rich portfolio of 20+ patents that are applicable across numerous wireless technologies. These could be extremely valuable as the company seeks to license its technology to large and established companies that will use Edgewater’s innovations in new applications and other technology advances.

Companies already exploring the technology developed by Edgewater Wireless may become partners or distributors as well. Patent licensing can lead to relationships that companies the size of Edgewater Wireless can only dream of.

For example, Edgewater Wireless Systems very first patent transaction was with Apple Inc.

That speaks volumes about the type of technology that Edgewater Wireless is advancing.

The Winners: Too Late For Mass Gains, But Good To Study

We compare some of the major companies that are responsible for developing and deploying the infrastructure of the IoT. You likely know most of these, since they are well established. These are large cap stocks with very deep pockets. They are investing heavily in the key technologies that will make up the IoT. Any one of these would be a likely partner to Edgewater Wireless, license the company’s patented technology or potentially see Edgewater Wireless as a worthwhile acquisition target.

[table id=30 /]

Our Recommendation: We Give YFI Our Strongest BUY Rating

Investors may have lost some of the enthusiasm for the IoT. But they would be remiss if they think the IoT has lost momentum. It is a sleeping giant.

Companies that build the IoT infrastructure are poised to become some of the icons of tomorrow… globally recognized brands that dominate the internet and make investors very wealthy as they enable this new future.

Could Edgewater Wireless Systems be one of these?

Edgewater Wireless plans to continue the adoption of WiFi3™. The company is also launching what is believed to be the worlds’ largest Wi-Fi and IoT deployment in conjunction with a Top 5, Fortune 500 Retailer.

Other plans include commercializing engagements with six MSOs and expanding its distributor and reseller network in key strategic markets.

Edgewater Wireless Systems’ patented WiFi3™ system can provide access up to 40x faster than conventional Wi-Fi in high density traffic locations like airports, convention centers and stadiums.

This new technology and the company’s other offerings set Edgewater Wireless apart from all others in this category.

Since spinning off its technology division as Edgewater Wireless Systems in 2012, the company has earned the leading position from industry peers, clients and industry organizations setting the standards for the technology and applications that will certainly make up the IoT.

We think that its’ achievements and endorsements show that the company is a success in the making. Other companies will have the chance to ratify that as Edgewater Wireless Systems has been selected to participate in the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) Accelerator being held at the 2017 Wireless Global Congress in New York City.

The WBA Accelerator is a platform to present to a seasoned panel of telecom industry specialists, investors, wireless experts and WBA Congress attendees including Bell, China Telecom, AT&T, Sprint and major technology manufacturers such as Nokia, Huawei, Google and Facebook.

We recommend putting Edgewater Wireless Systems (TSX.V: YFI) on your must-watch and must-own list, then follow their advances carefully. We expect there will be many.

The Mobile Gaming Sector Is Looking Stronger Than Ever, And Not Showing Any Signs Of Slowing

by

Just when you might think that the video and mobile game space has lost its mojo, along comes a Candy Crush or Pokémon Go game that sends its developer’s stock soaring.

Together, those two mobile game properties managed to generate a massive $2.5 billion in revenue and made a lot of investors wealthy. And there are plenty more where that came from.

The shift to mobile gaming has opened the door for savvy companies that understand how to monetize mobile games and generate hit gaming properties.

We’ve discovered just such an operation in Tapinator, Inc. (OTC: TAPM), an innovative young company that has positioned itself for success at the forefront of mobile gaming.

This is a stock poised for moves now. We are convinced it is severely undervalued and investors can take advantage of the lull that has left most reviewers focused on other tech stocks.

We break out the company in some detail, but we believe that this is an easy double or triple based on its current position and potential for major upside using a solid formula that’s already put Tapinator, Inc. (OTC: TAPM) on track for major growth and revenues, which we will thoroughly get into detail below; it’ pretty shocking to say the least!

Mobile Gaming Success Is About Pigs and Chickens

A quick question: Were you one of the 8+ million players who downloaded and played the wildly popular mobile game Farmville on a phone or tab? If you were,  you now understand how to run a farm.

Creating a successful mobile gaming company is a lot like that; in order to be really successful, you need pigs and chickens.

You need chickens to lay eggs every single day. Chickens are cheap and expendable. They constantly produce food and support the farm’s immediate needs with little care or upkeep.

Pigs, on the other hand, take time and real effort to raise. They require constant care and attention. And they are not cheap to feed. However, pigs offer the really big pay-off. One prize pig can fill the freezer for an entire winter or if sold at market, a pig can pay payback the initial investment many, many times over.

The key is having a mix of enough chickens to get to the point where you cash in a prize pig.

This is the scenario that faces nearly every mobile and video game company. They must find an effective mix between immediate revenue producing games and those marquee titles that are true company makers.

Apparently mobile gamers, Tapinator, Inc. (OTC: TAPM) learned this lesson early on and have built a robust formula for success that is a careful balance between low-cost, rapid turnaround games, and big name titles that could easily be the hit wonders of the year.

Several of their games have already earned the distinction of “New Games We Love” on the Apple iOS platform.

Finding a company in the unique position of having a history of valuable game properties and a path to develop blockbuster type franchises is rare. We urge readers to carefully consider that there are only a few public mobile gaming companies with these qualities – yet still trading at pennies per share.

For this reason, Tapinator, Inc. (OTC: TAPM) deserves your attention.

A Market This Size Is Worth the Effort

If you have not tracked the video and mobile gaming space recently, you may be surprised at just how large and lucrative it really is.

Video gaming has become an increasingly relevant force in entertainment and part of everyday life. From 1989 to 2013, the global video game industry, including mobile revenue, grew at a compounding annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.3% from about $19.9 billion to $76.0 billion. (1)

That is a massive global market that has created a lot of wealth. A large part of its growth comes from the rise of new platforms with capacity for video gaming.

From arcades and consoles like the NES and the Atari, games quickly shifted to personal computers and finally, the internet which opened the way for browser-based gaming. The next step in evolution was smartphones and tablets with the ability to download video games through app stores.

Gaming is now easily accessible on a variety of platforms and as we all know, mobile games are played virtually everywhere on a 24/7 basis.

The global video game industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from $101.1 billion in 2016 to $128.6 billion in 2020 according to research by Newzoo, which tracks all gaming.

Mobile gaming, which refers to gaming on smart devices such as a phone or tablet, is expected to be the segment that will experience the highest growth. Newzoo’ s projections show mobile gaming revenue growing 68% from $38.6 billion in 2016 to $64.9 billion.

It would be easy to dismiss the gaming market since there are many more game flops than there are winners, but that would be a serious mistake.

The industry tailwind is with the mobile segment that Newzoo called the “most lucrative segment” of the gaming industry and predicts 19% year-over-year growth. Newzoo also says mobile gaming will represent over half of the total games market by 2020 (2).

Tapinator Inc. has the Right Mix of Games and Know How to Monetize Them

Founded in 2013, Tapinator (OTC: TAPM) is a mobile gaming company successfully creating gaming apps for iOS and Android. The company is based in New York with product development teams located around the world.

Its leader is visionary CEO Ilya Nikolayev, who is credited with creating one of the first successful Facebook applications. That app was eventually sold to Intelius, bringing substantial returns to early investors. Nikolayev is recognized as an industry expert. He is featured regularly on Fox Business, Bloomberg and TheStreet for his insights into the mobile gaming business.

Under his guidance, the Tapinator team has developed and published over 300 mobile gaming titles that have collectively achieved over 400 million player downloads.

That is no small feat in the highly competitive mobile game and app business.

All the hard work and perseverance has earned Tapinator a strong reputation and recognition in publications such as Forbes, Fortune, Venture Beat and The Huffington Post. The collective opinion of reviewers seems to echo our view: Tapinator is a “mobile gaming company that has found a balance between profitability and creativity.”

Again, it’s all about the mix of pigs and chickens.

Tapinator Makes Mobile Games That Make Money

Tapinator’s business strategy, which has served them well, relies on developing and publishing a continuous flow of Rapid-Launch Games at low-cost with reliable return, while developing and publishing costlier Full-Featured games that offer more in-depth content and support long-term engagement.

In order to make this formula work, their experienced team of developers, strategists and product specialists have established serious expertise in building scalable, quality gaming products across various categories. They use a proprietary set of development processes that depend upon key factors such as gaming category, estimated player retention, and projected profitability.

In other words, Tapinator (OTC: TAPM) knows exactly how much to put into a game in order to get the best return before they even begin.

The Company’s portfolio of over 300 mobile gaming titles generate hundreds of thousands of daily player downloads. They provide predictable and attractive returns through the sale of branded advertisements and consumer app store (“in-app”) transactions.

Tapinator’s game universe is significant. Simply search “Tapinator” in the Apple Store or Google Play Store and you’ll see the deep catalogue of choices.

The best-in-class Full-Featured Games (ie. the pigs), such as ROCKY™ and Solitaire Dash, provide game players with more in-depth, unique content that supports long-term retention and generates higher investment returns.

This is the model that creates the potential for sustainable $100+ million franchise-type games that have product lifespans of at least five years.

The company’s base (ie. chickens) are its Rapid-Launch Games. These are typically low-cost, quick to develop (like 90 days or so), follow a known theme and capitalize on short player engagement times.

Recent successful launches of two new Full-Featured titles – Big Sport Fishing 2017 and Dice Mage 2 – were recognized on the Apple iOS platform as “New Games We Love.” Big Sport Fishing 2017 received well over 520,000 player downloads during the game’s first seven days after global release.

Four new titles, ColorFill, Divide & Conquer, Shadowborne and Fusion Heroes, are in the pipeline for release in Q4 2017 and Q1 2018.

The company’s Rapid-Launch Games division also saw increasing player interest recently with the launch of Fidget Spinner Superhero and Scary Shark Evolution 3D.

Tapinator’s diversified revenue sources currently break out as 54 percent from advertising placed within its mobile games, and 46 percent from consumer app store (“in-app”) purchases.

For better gaming experience and engagement, Tapinator limits advertising placements to between game levels. It also runs rewarded video ad units that are tied directly into the game’s currency, again upping the in-app purchase return.

Out of Tapinator’s portfolio of more than 300 active titles, no single game accounted for more than 25 percent of total revenues during the first half of 2017. That is the result of a well-planned and carefully executed corporate strategy.

Plenty of Upside in AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality)

Tapinator (OTC: TAPM) is a forward-looking company. They see their opportunities in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) – two gaming areas that show great promise.

Virtual reality games are pretty straight forward, involving the player in a virtual environment, but for those unfamiliar, Augmented Reality is use of real world imagery and involvement combined with game play. The most successful AR game is Pokémon Go, which ties real GPS locations to mobile devices so players can find Pokémon characters that appear on screen in the real world.

Tapinator is already hot on this path. They have released several prototype VR games to gather data before pursuing a more significant VR product.

Recent market reports suggest that the VR industry will hit $30 billion by 2020 and the AR industry will surpass that with a projected $120 billion.

Tapinator also plans to pursue publishing transactions that leverage its network, platform relationships and operational excellence. For instance, Tapinator is able to use its cross gaming exposure to hundreds of thousands of players without incurring marketing costs for new games. This has proved very successful.

There are also significant opportunities for expanding Tapinator’s gaming IP to new platforms like Steam and leading messaging apps on the horizon.

With no significant changes in its core development group, the company is targeting a 30% plus annual growth for 2017 to 2019.

The Moonshot Scenario

In looking at the mobile gaming space, we can’t help but mention the potential for a moonshot gaming application. It’s happened time and time again, and the companies that are successful go rocketing skyward, rewarding investors richly.

This is the scenario where a single game takes flight from the simple, every day interest level into a blockbuster title worthy of an entire franchise. These are games like AngryBirds™, CandyCrush™ and Clash of Clans™.

This could easily be the fate of one or more of Tapinator’s gaming properties.

Remember that the little know game development companies that put those iconic titles in play were doing exactly what Tapinator is doing now; building quality game experiences guided by player engagement and variations on popular themes.

This brings up the other specter for Tapinator: acquisition.

With or without a rock star game app, smaller gaming companies can become very attractive to the big players. Leaders in this space continually look for real value in the game properties and the organizations behind them.

Tapinator is a well-run company. It has a solid history for building quality games and it has allied itself with meaningful franchises. One “winning” game property could send ripples across the industry and up the stakes immediately.

If Tapinator were to become a target for the major mobile app companies, we expect that the stock could offer returns that are 10x or even 20x its current value, based on the speculation.

Gaming Winners: Too Late for Big Gains, But Excellent to Study

We highlight some of the biggest winners in the video and mobile industry this year to date. These are large cap stocks that have made the meteoric ride with marquee game titles and franchises that bring in hundreds of millions of dollars. They exemplify what happens when a solid gaming company with a proven formula continually produces a mix of money making games and big “hits” that drive value.

[table id=28 /]

Our Recommendation: We Give TAPM Our Strong BUY Rating

After our extensive review, we strongly believe that TAPM is one of the best mobile game companies we have encountered.  We also think it is very undervalued, based on its early successes and upside potential.

TAPM’s strategy of capturing active user engagement through quality content and driving in-game purchases will continue to help the company achieve recurring and predictable cash flow on an ongoing basis.

The effectiveness of this strategy has been evident with the success and profitability of other companies with their big name titles like Activision’s Overwatch, World of Warcraft and many others.

At the same time, TAPM continues to grow its user base and solid revenue path with the low-cost, rapid turnaround games that helped to put it on the map.

Gaming companies in the mobile space have to walk a precarious line, but Tapinator, Inc. has managed to find its balance over several years. They have realized that mobile gaming is a lucrative technology- and analytics-driven business.

Photo: Tapinator, Inc.’s popular game titles include major franchises like “Rocky”

Now, they appear ready to use their proven formula to create some major successes, both in conventional gaming and the VR and AR space. Targeting 30% plus annual growth over the next two years is not unrealistic, since they have constantly reached their stated goals.

It would also not be unheard of for Tapinator’s team to come up with a blockbuster game either, since that what they are in the business to do.

If it were not for the experience of the company’s CEO Ilya Nikolayev, we might wonder if they could handle that kind of growth and expectations that places on a smaller company. But Nikolayev and the team are hardened by battle over a decade of development together. That gives us a level of confidence not found in other emerging companies.

We recommend that investors look for value in mobile apps now, while the industry is relatively quiet and plodding along with its solid 19% y-o-y growth.

Investors who are willing to seek out the unique gaming situations like TAPM may find that it can offer outstanding rewards, even if it takes as much effort as finding an elusive Venusaur, Blastoise, or Charizard in Pokémon Go. It can be worth it.
