DOC.C - Telemedicine services in high demand during the pandemicCloudMD Reaches Over 100,000 Registered Users on Telemedicine Platform
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CloudMD Software & Services Inc. (CSE: DOC, OTCQB: DOCRF, Frankfurt: 6PH) (the “Company” or “CloudMD”), a telemedicine company revolutionizing the delivery of healthcare to patients, is excited to announce that it has reached over 100,000 registered users combined on its CloudMD and MyHealthAccess telemedicine platforms. To date, CloudMD has grown its platform of registered users organically and a large part of its customer acquisition has come from referrals from its network of doctors in Canada. Patients on both platforms have easy access to the extended hours, 7 day week coverage provided by the CloudMD doctors.
Since its launch in February 2020, CloudMD has grown its platform by almost 10,000 app downloads. During the last two weeks, approximately 1000 virtual doctors appointments were booked on the CloudMD platform, growth of over 3x compared to the previous period. Combined registration on both platforms have also increased 133% over the last week, as more people remain in isolation and cannot attend in-person medical appointments.
With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, CloudMD offers Canadians an alternative to in-person visits to crowded or closed medical clinics. Patients can now download the CloudMD app and schedule a same day appointment online and connect directly with a licensed physician on their phone, tablet, or computer from the comfort of their home.
Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of CloudMD commented, “CloudMD continues to revolutionize the way healthcare is delivered to patients. We are excited and encouraged by the continued growth of our CloudMD platform as the significant increase in registered users continues to reinforce buy-in from the communities we serve.” He continued, “During these difficult times we are proud to offer much needed and timely medical care to the Canadian population. We remain committed to providing the best health care services to our patients.”
CloudMD also announces it has engaged Strike Communication Inc. (“Strike”) to manage investor relations and corporate development strategies. Strike is a boutique capital markets advisory firm based in Vancouver, BC. As part of its compensation, Strike will be granted incentive stock options exercisable to purchase up to 150,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a period of five years. 100% of the incentive stock options will vest 12 months after the grant.

G6 Materials Corp. Develops Disinfection Products to Fight the Spread of COVID-19
April 1, 2020 - TheNewswire - Ronkonkoma, NY USA - G6 Materials Corp (the "Company" or "G6," (TSXV:GGG) (OTC:GPHBF) is pleased to provide an update from its Research & Development department. The outbreak of the COVID-19 has drastically altered the economic landscape, and G6 management is optimizing the business model to accommodate the new reality, addressing these new business opportunities.
The CEO of the Company, Daniel Stolyarov, explains, “There is an imminent demand for solutions that allow for the removal of viruses from the air and surfaces increasing the safety of the immediate environment. The Company has prioritized work in this sector and plans to address these market needs immediately.”
The Company's Research & Development Department has developed a solution for air purification products that are designed to mitigate the threat of virus infection in confined spaces such as offices and industrial warehouses. There is substantial scientific evidence of antiviral and antibacterial effectiveness of graphene coatings. The Company has found a unique method to incorporate graphene in the air filtration systems making them more efficient in killing germs. The Company is currently conducting internal testing, and will subsequently apply for appropriate accreditations.
The applications of this solution are numerous. Such systems can be included in existing HVAC systems or included in the design of new ones. They can be combined with conventional filtration methods as well as UV irradiation. Any large scale structures, including office buildings and factories, could all be the benefactor of this system.
Stolyarov continues, “Economies all around the world are experiencing unprecedented disruption due to the COVID-19 situation, leaving a long-lasting impact. We hope that the quarantine measures prove effective in stemming the spread of the virus, but quarantines cannot last forever. When people return to work they will demand that their work environment is safe. We provide a solution to this problem".
The Company will continue testing of the prototypes and is actively looking for an industrial partner to rapidly expand the manufacturing capability and bring these highly demanded products to market.

VS.C -- eSports and Video Streaming Rewards PlatformVS.C is approaching the eSports sector the right way with its proprietary rewards platform that integrates into applications, games and streaming services. This is one of the sectors that is thriving during the coronavirus pandemic. The company keeps delivering on growth and has just announced an expansion into streaming video via Kast. Haywood analyst gives it a BUY rating with a .55 price target.
Technically, the stock has been heavily accumulated in recent months. The selldown in the last few days was likely a short attack targeting the .185 - .195 gap. It failed but I used it as an opportunity to build a position at .22 average. Given the string of positive news releases and the extension of the .40 warrants that was just announced, I expect that the company will make a promotional push to try and get them exercised. But even without promo, the stock should be trading a fair bit higher based on the business growth/expansion. It's one of those rare times when I do agree with the institutional analysts.

The U.S. Just Signed A $450 Million Coronavirus Vaccine Contract With Johnson & Johnson
The Trump administration is spending nearly half a billion dollars on one company in the race to find a coronavirus vaccine.
That’s according to a $456 million order with Johnson & Johnson’s Pharmaceuticals arm Janssen, which specified a “new vaccine asset for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19),” Forbes found. It’s the largest reported amount spent on a vaccine project to date, even though the pharma giant hasn’t yet started any clinical trials as other firms have.
The deal was signed with the Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) on March 27, 2020. It followed another order, made as part of the same contract with Janssen, for $150 million on March 20, 2020, for a “new antiviral” for COVID-19.
A spokesperson from Johnson & Johnson didn’t provide any more details on the specific order, but confirmed the $456 million award related to a collaboration with ASPR’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), as announced in February. That work was built on previous contracts for developing countermeasures for other influenzas. The value of the coronavirus-specific work hadn’t previously been revealed and is the largest known contract for a coronavirus vaccine to date.
It forms part of a deal between the U.S. government and Johnson & Johnson to co-invest $1 billion into vaccine research, development and clinical testing. The company says it now expects human clinical studies for its vaccine candidate to go ahead, at the latest, by September 2020. It anticipates the first batches of vaccine to be available for emergency use in early 2021.

Algernon to Support Planned Phase 2 Trial of Ifenprodil for Coronavirus
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (CSE: AGN) (FRANKFURT: AGW) (OTCQB: AGNPF) (the “Company” or “Algernon”) a clinical stage pharmaceutical development company is pleased to announce that Novotech, a leading Asia-Pacific clinical research organization (CRO), has identified physicians in South Korea who have agreed to conduct an investigator initiated phase 2 clinical trial of Ifenprodil for coronavirus patients.
The investigators were identified after Algernon retained Novotech to conduct a feasibility study in South Korea. Novotech was asked to advise on the most efficient regulatory approach to initiating a phase 2 clinical trial for Ifenprodil for COVID-19 and to also help identify potential investigators.
Ifenprodil is an already approved drug in South Korea and Japan for certain neurological conditions with a known safety history. Algernon has been investigating Ifenprodil under its re-purposed drug program and has appointed Novotech as the lead CRO for its upcoming idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic cough phase 2 clinical trial to be conducted in Australia.
The Company is in the process of refining the protocol for the phase 2 coronavirus study after receiving input from the investigators, and is working with Novotech to provide the necessary information and support in order to assist with the study’s approval. The study approval process may be expedited due to the current global health crisis.
The Company will release more information about the planned phase 2 coronavirus study shortly.
The decision to retain Novotech to conduct a feasibility study was made after a recent independent study found that Ifenprodil significantly reduced acute lung injury (ALI) and improved survivability in an animal study with Asian H5N1 infected mice by 40%. Asian H5N1 is the most lethal form of influenza known to date with an over 50% mortality rate. The drug was also previously shown in a separate study to prolong survival under anoxic (low oxygen) conditions, as might occur in patients with severely impaired lung function.
“This independent study data, along with the data generated from the Company’s animal studies on IPF and chronic cough, have supported the Company’s recent new COVID-19 and acute lung injury clinical program,” said Christopher J. Moreau CEO of Algernon Pharmaceuticals.

EW.V -- Low risk bottom fishing opp; trading at cash valueAn incredible opportunity to buy EW.V at cash value. With JV partner in Romania covering 100% of the exploration costs, this could become a multi-bagger if any of the wells being tested are deemed commercial. EW.V is getting 15% of any oil that spuds.

ESPT.V On Watch for Downtrend Pattern Breakout (eSports/Gaming)ESPT.V lit up a nice green candle on the daily chart to end the week. Poked its head above the downtrend channel that started on Aug 20th for the first time. The company is one of the early movers in the rapidly growing #eSports sector and is expected to close a revenue-generating acquisition within 1 - 2 weeks, followed by another major acquisition. Both were paid in .30 shares. Currently trading at .225.
Very bullish macro environment. Latest RBC Wealth Management report shows #Gaming #eSports sectors are in the early bull cycle. ESPT.V is one of the better values with $2.3M in revenues last year, $9M mkt cap and 43M float. Catchy ticker name is a bonus. :)
ACCUMULATE: Bittube $TUBEBittube has been in accumulation since September '19, which is now around 5 months.
The price dipped to 83 sats which is the atl and has been bouncing up and down ever since. It always has 'some' volume on Bittrex.
Interesting project, way undervalued (1M marketcap). This should be an easy x10 when it finally breaks out of this range.
My advice: buy some in this range and forget about it for a while. Nice r/r.
MOON.V — Likely breakout comingStrong accumulation, bullish MACD/RSI/Stoch action and increasing bid support point to a likely breakout coming. The company has reported high grade Zinc/Gold/Silver intercepts in recent assays. The market is yet to notice it. Just over $3M mkt cap is cheap considering the progress they have made this year.
48North - The Small Cap Cannabis Company To WatchI have maintained a long thesis on 48North Cannabis Corporation since October 2018, and the trade worked wonderfully into March of last year. However, 48North pulled back alongside the entire cannabis sector, and rightfully so on some of their own missteps.
As a brief introduction, I believe 48North's competitive advantage stems from their outdoor grow operation, creating a low cost of goods operating model that will enable 48North to price products competitively and reward investors with higher gross margin performance when compared against the peer group. It should be noted that 48North missed their production guidance for 2019- resulting from delayed licensing for drying rooms. In 2019 48North demonstrated that outdoor grown cannabis can be completed at scale, at a low cost, and successfully pass Health Canada's quality control standards.
From a chart perspective I'm considering the Elliott Wave ABC pattern to be completed with a clean retracement & double bottom at $0.315 - neatly correlating with the 161.8 fib extension of Wave A
Current Market Cap: $63M
Cash on Hand: $40M
It is my opinion that 48North's cash position reduces the need for any capital injection through 2020. Frankly- it is going to be in the hands of 48North to demonstrate in 2020 that they truly can achieve their projected outdoor harvest numbers with drying capacity not being a barrier in 2020.
AII.TO -- Christmas Liquidation SpecialDeeply oversold at .43 (Daily RSI = 21) with a single seller reloading the ask. Trading at major discount to recent financing of .635. Last tranche is yet to close, so this is most likely one of the participants unloading a position. Stock tends to swing wildly when it gets oversold so I would not be surprised it will be back in the .60s after the iced ask is taken out.
Trans-Siberian Gold - Breaking from a wedgeBuy Trans-Siberian Gold (TSG.L)
Trans-Siberian Gold plc is a United Kingdom-based resource company engaged in acquiring and developing a portfolio of gold mining assets in Russia. The Company's subsidiary, ZAO Trevozhnoye Zarevo (TZ), holds approximately 20 square kilometers of mining license in the southern part of the Kamchatka peninsula, including the Asacha gold deposit, an epithermal gold/silver deposit located on a tertiary volcanic arc typical of ore systems found along the Pacific Rim. The main ore zone at Asacha consists of approximately five steeply dipping veins with over two principal veins averaging over two meters in width.
Market Cap: £90.21Million
The Trans-Siberian share price has been steadily increasing since the beginning of 2019. The shares reached new all-time highs at 133p before correcting sharply. The corrective move lower has stalled around the 50% Fibonacci level at 90.5p. The consolidation has formed a wedge on the daily chart, which has now broken to the upside. We believe this could lead to continuation higher in the short to medium term.
Stop: 90p
Target 1: 133p
Target 2: 150p
