NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine recently published results of a large study of 2,539 adults wherein weight loss of 49 to 52 pounds was a common outcome. With more than 37 million Americans suffering from diabetes, and with obesity at epidemic levels, it’s little wonder that millions of people are singing their praises of the new class of drugs responsible for these outrageously positive outcomes. GLP-1 agonists are a class of medications that mainly help manage blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with type 2 diabetes but are also helping treat obesity. Seems everyone is excited about controlling blood sugar and easily losing weight. But there may be an even better avenue to increased effectiveness and better outcomes. Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) (Profile), a global innovator in drug-delivery platforms, began diabetes-related formal studies last year with its DehydraTECH(TM) platform, which showed reduced blood-sugar levels and lowered body weight. With such encouraging early results, Lexaria is planning to launch new human and animal studies to examine whether DehydraTECH processing can make GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide even better. Lexaria’s heavily-patented DehydraTECH drug delivery technology might  improve bioavailability, lower costs, and enhance tolerability, weight-loss potential and management of diabetes and other health conditions. DehydraTECH may become a game changer in the multibillion-dollar GLP-1 drug market and could potentially lead to a collaboration with a dominant player in the space, such as Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO, Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE), Merck & Company Inc. (NYSE: MRK), or AstraZeneca PLC (NASDAQ: AZN).

• Lexaria’s DehydraTECH is easily integrated into oral product manufacturing processes to better deliver API payloads to improve bioavailability, reduce side effects and more.
• Lexaria is evaluating the impact of DehydraTECH on oral performance of GLP-1 drugs for diabetes and weight loss, a market forecast to reach up to an astonishing $200 billion per year.
• DehydraTECH is a scalable technology for a multitude of applications that has separately been licensed by Altria for oral nicotine products.
• DehydraTECH promotes fast-acting, less expensive and more effective oral drug delivery and has been thoroughly evaluated through in vivo, in vitro and human clinical testing.

In volatile economic conditions, smart money seeks stability and moves to safe havens. Historically, one of the safest places and most stable spaces during economic uncertainty is gold, a highly liquid asset that preserves and even increases in value over time and carries no credit risk. The precious metal benefits from multiple levers of demand such as gold jewelry, tech/industrial use and a reserve asset as well as a strategic investment. History has shown that gold’s variable demand pressures enhance a portfolio by improving diversification, providing liquidity and delivering long-term returns. Reacting to uncertainties, many gold mining companies, including GEMXX Corp. (OTC: GEMZ) (profile), have enjoyed significant growth during the recent volatility. Exploding past startup phase and achieving global growth in mere months, GEMXX is fast approaching a holy grail that differentiates GEMXX from all others in the gold space – a vertically integrated mining company – a unique mine-to-market enterprise that specializes in gold and gemstone mining as well as jewelry creation, production and global sales. GEMXX owns and controls every aspect of the process from gold mining and gemstone finishing to jewelry manufacturing and global distribution. Other larger mining companies may not have the unique vertical integration of GEMXX but are still seeing success in the precious metal sector including Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE: AEM), which recently reported record second-quarter numbers; Barrick Gold (NYSE: GOLD), which anticipates a second half of the year performance that surpasses its first; Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM), which has received required approvals on a key acquisition announced earlier this year; and Franco-Nevada Corp. (NYSE: FNV), which has established a business model that provides investors with gold price and exploration optionality while limiting exposure to cost inflation.

In the business world, one of the cardinal reasons for mergers and acquisitions (M&As) is the potential for synergistic growth. Successful companies usually measure this in terms of revenue streams, market share and product offerings. However, in the age of digital technology and globalization, a significant facet of growth potential is often found a company’s core customer base and digital reputation. Lucy Scientific Discovery (NASDAQ: LSDI) (Profile) is astutely following this road map utilized by hugely successful corporations by uniquely leveraging user bases to rapidly amplify shareholder value. This well-established, albeit counterintuitive, M&A strategy has been utilized by several major companies including Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) with the unconventional process producing results that vastly exceeded expected typical M&A metrics.

The transition from fossil fuels to electrification has created a huge increase in demand for rare earth oxides and demand is expected to get much larger. Rare earth oxides are irreplaceable elements integral to permanent magnets, critical components in electric vehicles and sustainable power generation equipment, especially windmills. About 90% of all permanent magnets are currently produced in China, which is now considering banning or restricting exports of technology to process and refine rare-earth elements. Beijing is also pondering provisions prohibiting or limiting exports of alloy technology used in making high performance magnets made from rare earths minerals. As the transition to a cleaner world grows, China is restricting exports of permanent magnets and related tech in favor of feeding domestic demand, thus strangling the global transition. Governments in North America and across the world have voiced extreme urgency in reshaping supply chains to reduce dependence upon China and achieve clean energy mandates. Only a few companies can be called leaders in a nascent yet potentially explosive market. Ucore Rare Metals Inc. (TSX.V: UCU) (OTCQX: UURAF) (Profile) stands out with its transformative technology, RapidSX(TM), for separating and purifying critical metals. Also in the hunt for market share in this burgeoning new market is MP Materials Corp. (NYSE: MP), Neo Performance Materials Inc. (TSX: NEO), Energy Fuels Inc. (NYSE American: UUUU) (TSX: EFR) and Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (NYSE: LICY), all of which have established footholds and expanding operations in a concerted effort to shift away from reliance upon China and achieve energy independence.

Slave Lake Zinc (CSE: SLZ) (the “Company”) has reviewed historic drill logs recently obtained for 13 drill holes reported by American Yellowknife Mines from drilling conducted in 1951 at the MCO targets on the west side of O’Connor Lake. Slave Lake has noted that pegmatites and pegmatitic granites have been documented in these holes. Pegmatites were reported and ranged from less than 1 meter to over 10 meters in drill section. Exploration in 1951 was designed to test for zinc-lead-copper mineralization at O’Connor Lake. There was no evaluation for lithium or tantalum-columbite mineralization which are now a necessity for electrification (green energy).

The market for renewable energy enjoys considerable tailwinds due to growing concerns about climate change, energy security and global initiatives to reign in carbon emissions. The tailwinds turned into a tempest late in 2022 when the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA is the largest investment ever by the U.S. government in renewable energies, earmarking $369 billion to accelerate efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. According to some experts, the IRA is expected to more than triple America’s clean-energy production by 2030, resulting in about 40% of the nation’s energy coming from sources such as wind, solar and renewable natural gas (“RNG”). For this to happen, about 550 gigawatts of new energy supply from green sources will come online over the next seven years. Against the backdrop of this generational opportunity, EverGen Infrastructure Corp. (TSX.V: EVGN) (OTCQX: EVGIF) (Profile), a specialist in RNG, has positioned itself as an emerging leader in the booming renewables sector. Others in the space that are recognized as leaders include oil juggernaut BP plc (NYSE: BP), utility Fortis Inc. (NYSE: FTS), cleantech 374Water Inc. (NASDAQ: SCWO) and Anaergia Inc. (TSX: ANRG).
