Sidney Resources Corp (OTC:SDRC): Here Are Latest Developments & Updates

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

The mining sector has naturally attracted a considerable amount of attention over the course of the past months owing to the rising commodity prices brought about by the Russia-Ukraine war. There are a number of companies that could pique the interest of investors at this point in time and one of those is Sidney Resources Corp. (OTC:SDRC). Before discussing some of the company's recent developments, it might be wise to take a closer look at its core business functions. Three of the company's claims are the subject of exploration and development work, determining the value of iron ore bodies found on the lands. SDRC’s claims, located in Colorado, are known as Hornet, Lucky Ben, and Lucky Ben Extension, combining for a total area of 53 acres. The company additionally controls as many as 14 unpatented claims in the well-known Warren Mine District in Idaho, which encompasses an area of 300 acres. SDRC had been founded in 1896 and incorporated fourteen years later, in 1910. Back on February 15, the company announced that it had managed to have a major breakthrough after it successfully filed the patent application for its revolutionary laser mining technology with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The patent, titled "Method and Apparatus for Using Electro-Magnetic Radiation in Narrow Vein Mining," had taken a full year to prepare, and Sydney Resources thanked the massive effort that had been put in by its engineering team. The application had been filed by the company with an application date of January 31, 2023. The patent had originally been acquired by the company from Merger Mines; however, the patent it filed is an expanded and improved version of the same. The laser mining technology could well be revolutionary considering that it is believed to be an improvement on methods related to narrow vein mining for gemstones and precious metals. Earlier in the month, on February 6, SDRC announced that it had made a new appointment to its board of directors in the form of Mike Irish of Irish Metals LLC. In this context, it should be noted that Irish is a professional engineer in the field of environmental engineering and holds BS as well as MS degrees from the University of Idaho in Metallurgical Engineering. In addition, Mike Irish holds considerable experience in the field of chemistry from a career spanning more than 35 years, during which he has been involved with the development of unique and innovative processes. Irish noted that he was excited at the development of having joined Sidney Resources as a board member. SDRC had earlier announced on January 30 of this year that it had been successful in concluding the mirror bonding work at its laser test unit. The whole project had been completed by the company with the assistance of the Material Science and Engineering Program and Clean Room at Washington State University. The entire project was the precursor to the testing work that would be conducted by the company at the Colorado School of Mines. The bonding and preparation work related to the entire process was conducted by Brooke Downing, the Senior Lab Assistant.

Kona Gold Beverage Inc. (OTC:KGKG) Reaches Distribution Agreement with A&B Distributors

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

In the past few years, the beverages sector has grown at a significant rate amidst rising demand from investors for a variety of beverages. One of the companies that could be said to be at the forefront of the innovative beverages space at this point is Kona Gold Beverage Inc. (OTCMKTS:KGKG). The company operates through a range of subsidiaries and is best known for having come up with wellness beverages. One of its better-known products is its hemp-laced energy drink and another of its subsidiary units has developed a CBD-based beverage that is available in as many as 6 different flavors. On February 15, Kona Gold announced that it had inked a distribution agreement with the firm A&B Distributors. A&B is going to be responsible for distributing the company’s 16oz Ooh La Lemin and 12oz Sparkling Ooh La Lemin lemonade products in the states of Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. It was a major new development for KGKG, considering the fact that its products were going to be made available across a much larger market, comprising a combined population of around 14 million. A&B is going to help in distributing the two products across the states of Oklahoma and Arkansas to go along with 19 counties in the state of Texas. A&B Distributors had been established back in 1979 when it had 7 employees and 1 supplier. Now, A&B is one of the more successful distributors, with more than 300 employees, along with 75 plus suppliers. It is a distributor that is known for exceeding the expectations of its suppliers and for executing the growth plans of the suppliers consistently. KGKG stock has also managed to perform strongly in recent times and is perhaps another factor why Kona Gold is attracting attention. Earlier on in the month on February 2, KGKG announced that for the month of January, it had managed to surpass $500,000 in revenues. It was the highest monthly revenue that had been recorded by the company in its history. Considering the fact that the revenues back in January 2022 was only $275,000 it was a significant improvement. In this context, it is also necessary to note that the months of December and January are generally regarded as slow months in the beverage industry. Hence, the performance from Kona Gold was particularly impressive. The revenue targets had also been hit by Gold Leaf Distribution LLC and Kona Gold LLC, its two subsidiaries. The company has been striking deals with distributors on a consistent basis and back on January 31, 2023, it announced that it had inked a distribution agreement with Norman Distributor, based out of Illinois. Norman would be responsible for distributing the company’s 16oz Ooh La Lemin and 12oz Sparkling Ooh La Lemin lemonade products in the greater Chicagoland Area. It would also be responsible for distributing the products to major markets like Walmart, Woodman’s, Butera, Mariano’s, and Pete’s Fresh Market.

Comcast Plans Major Network Expansion in Texas

Comcast Houston

Comcast announced today it will significantly expand its next-generation network, the Xfinity 10G Network, in a major way across several southeast Texas counties in 2023. The media and technology company said it will invest more than $100 million to install at least one thousand miles of new fiber-rich highways that will reach up to 80,000 homes and businesses by the end of this year. The planned expansions add to Comcast’s ongoing $2.8 billion investment in Texas over the last three years. Network expansion efforts will begin in Kingwood, Pinehurst, Prairie View, Waller, New Caney and Conroe. Construction will continue in other communities that have ongoing network infrastructure builds in the Houston area. Construction has started in Kingwood, which will be the largest expansion of the year; it is expected to be complete by the end of 2023 and will reach nearly 24,000 Kingwood homes and businesses. These locations will have the foundational next-generation network in place to begin deploying DOCSIS 4.0, setting the stage for the introduction of new symmetrical multi-gigabit Internet options. “We will bring our fiber-rich network to twice the number of homes and businesses this year compared to the number we passed last year,” said Ralph Martinez, Senior Regional Vice President of Comcast’s Texas Region. “Southeast Texas’ rural and suburban communities have been growing fast, and we are building out our next-generation Comcast network in tandem with the growth. We will continue to expand to even more rural communities in the next few years.” Once complete, Comcast, the nation’s largest provider of 1.2 Gigabit per second speeds, will give consumers access to reliable and fast Xfinity Internet and Xfinity Mobile service that outperforms its competitors. Comcast engineers have also developed multiple artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies that make the network faster and more reliable while delivering up to 100 Gbps for Comcast Business customers. In addition, Comcast’s next-generation technology provides multiple layers of security that automatically detect and block hundreds of thousands of cyber events every second, and a Smart Network that automates many core network functions and dramatically reduces the number of outages. “Access to reliable internet and telecommunications services is something that we cannot go without in our day-to-day activities,” said Houston Mayor Pro-Tem and Kingwood resident, Dave Martin. “Comcast and their new construction project in Kingwood is a perfect example of a business working to bridge the gap to connect more people to much-needed services while increasing accessibility to much-needed services and their dependability. I appreciate Comcast’s partnership and commitment to District E.” Comcast is also committed to addressing digital equity in communities we serve, through Project UP, the company’s $1 billion dollar commitment to help tens of millions of people connect to the internet and build futures of unlimited possibilities. Last year, Comcast Texas invested more than one million dollars to help local community organizations provide personalized digital skills training, offer workforce development/readiness workshops and other tech education to students, adults, and people with disabilities. The funding also supports ongoing efforts to build awareness about connectivity programs like Internet Essentials and the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which offers eligible households up to $30/month credit, or up to $75 for households on tribal lands, for home Internet. Comcast proudly participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program, and offers Internet Essentials Plus, a $29.95/month home Internet service that is effectively free for eligible households, once the ACP credit is applied. Interested customers can visit Xfinity.com/ACP or call 1-800-Xfinity to learn more about this program and find out if they qualify. For more construction details and updates, visit ComcastTexas.com/Expansion. Powered by the Xfinity 10G Network Comcast’s next-generation network and Internet experience are powering homes today and into the future: · Ultimate Capacity: Xfinity customers connect nearly 1 billion devices across the company’s network annually. The Xfinity 10G Network with the next-generation Xfinity gateways deliver the most advanced WiFi technology carrying three times more bandwidth to power streaming, gaming, videoconferencing, and more, simultaneously. · Fastest Internet: 10 million+ Xfinity Internet customers subscribe to gigabit speed products, and Ookla rated Xfinity the fastest Internet provider at the end of 2022*. Symmetrical gig speeds to the first homes are planned for later this year. · Unprecedented Coverage: The latest Xfinity Gateway provides a more reliable connection throughout the home. Customers can get wall-to-wall WiFi coverage with a powerful xFi Pod that extends coverage to hard-to-reach areas, with plans for an offering of increased support for in-home WiFi through a “boost guarantee” later this year. · Most Reliable Connection: Comcast is scaling the nation’s largest and most reliable network – the Xfinity 10G Network – that passes 60 million homes and business and counting. The company plans to launch a new device that is “storm-ready” with cellular and battery backup to help keep customers connected even when the power goes out. · Ultra-Low Latency: The Xfinity 10G Network and the latest xFi Gateway are a powerful combination that deliver ultra-low latency for those moments when response times matter most like video games, a fast-growing category with Xfinity households averaging more than one gaming console per home. For local businesses, Comcast Business offers a suite of connectivity, communications, networking, cybersecurity, wireless, and managed solutions to help organizations of different sizes prepare for what’s next. Powered by the nation’s largest Gig-speed broadband network, and backed by 24/7 customer support, Comcast Business is the nation’s largest cable provider to small and mid-size businesses and one of the leading service providers to the Enterprise market.

i2Coalition Warns of Crippling Impact in Amicus Brief filed with U.S. Supreme Court in Gonzalez v. Google LLC

i2Coalition

In advance of the oral arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court for Gonzalez v. Google LLC, the Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) warns of the crippling impact this case could have on businesses of all sizes that build the Internet. On January 18, 2023, the i2Coalition, joined by our members cPanel, LLC; Identity Digital Inc.; Texas.net, Inc.; and Tucows Inc., filed an amicus brief calling on the Court to affirm the judgment of the Ninth Circuit and protect the foundational role Section 230 plays in ensuring the Internet's infrastructure functions efficiently and effectively. "While Section 230 may in part be responsible for protecting giant platforms that host user-generated content, it is also one of the pillars of intermediary liability law, which protects the entire ecosystem of lesser-known Internet infrastructure companies that operate the Internet at every level, down to the Internet user," said Christian Dawson, the i2Coalition's executive director. "Google may be the company listed on the case, but an adverse ruling would have far-reaching implications and cripple the ability of our member companies to ensure that the infrastructure running the Internet can continue to operate." The i2Coalition's brief demonstrates that Section 230's expressed words provide no basis for excluding the automated operation of algorithms (instructions to computer systems) from Section 230 liability protection. The coalition explains that a myriad of companies throughout the Internet ecosystem, including those providing its infrastructure, depend on algorithms to classify, organize, process, and transmit all sorts of data and that these functions do not alter Section 230(c)(1)'s protection of those companies. These include services that may seem mundane but are critically important, such as Domain Name Service (DNS) resolutions that translate domains into IP addresses. These services require stable, clear, and neutral rules that are not subject to political combat and weaponization by regulators and other actors. The extraordinary breadth of stakeholders that filed briefs last month in support of preserving Section 230, in its current form, includes private sector companies, entrepreneurs, advocacy organizations, academics, and computer scientists. Collectively, these briefs urged the Court to uphold Section 230 liability protection as courts have uniformly applied it for the past 25 years. In addition, the filings included the submission to the Court of an amicus brief from the original co-authors of the statute, former U.S. House Representative Christopher Cox and U.S. Senator Ron Wyden. "With the Internet as we know it at stake, we implore the Court to uphold Section 230's protections," said Christian Dawson, the i2Coalition's executive director. "For 25 years, courts have uniformly applied the law without Congress seeking to steer the courts onto a different course. If revisions to Section 230 are warranted, Congress alone should make those changes." The full i2Coalition amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court docket can be found here. About the i2Coalition Internet Infrastructure Coalition (i2Coalition) is a trade association representing the interests of businesses that construct and operate essential building blocks of the Internet. Its members include cloud providers, data center operators, domain name registrars, domain name registries, and other foundational Internet enterprises. Its mission is to preserve a free and open Internet as an engine for growth and innovation. It works with its members to advocate for sensible policies, establish and reinforce best practices, help create industry standards, and promote awareness of how the Internet works.

Hammer Technology Holdings (OTC:HMMR) Releases Q1 Earnings: Here Are Key Details

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

A sector that is almost always going to be on the radar of many investors is the technology sector, and for good reason too, given the possibilities of making a strong return in the long term. These are companies that are always intent on making innovative products that can disrupt established markets or create markets of their own. A company that could be of interest at this point is Hammer Technology Holdings (OTCMKTS:HMMR), which is involved in making investments in the future of technology. The company decided to widen its business strategy so as to focus on the innovative technology space, which has been evolving at a remarkable pace. To that end, Hammer Technology Holdings restructured the company in a way so as to be in a position to accommodate a range of new verticals. One of the strategies of the company is known as the ‘Everything Wireless’ strategy, which is involved with providing fixed high-speed wireless service to small businesses and residences. However, that is not all. The company has also made a move into the rapidly growing financial technology space. Earlier on in the week on February 13, HMMR announced its financial results for the fiscal year that had ended on July 31, 2022, and also the first fiscal quarter that ended on October 31, 2022. In the fiscal year that ended on July 31, 2022 HMMR had managed to bring in revenues of as much as $2,602,115 and that reflected a year-on-year rise to the tune of as much as 18.32%. The healthy rise in revenues had been brought about by the strong performance which had been delivered by the company’s OTT or over-the-top business segment. The revenues generated in the first quarter ended on October 31, 2022, stood at $799,699 and that reflected a year-on-year rise of 27.27%. Hammer Technology Holdings recorded an operating loss of $547,225 in the fiscal year and that was primarily due to the expenses incurred for setting up the financial technology business. The acquisition of HammerPay (USA) Ltd had also been a factor in the same. In the quarter that ended on October 31, 2022, the company recorded an operating loss of $142,173 and the reason behind the loss was the same. "We continued to improve our operations in the telecommunications business segment as we develop a diversified portfolio," said Erik Levitt, Hammer's Principal Financial Officer and CEO of the telecommunications business segment. In this context, it should be pointed out that back on October 19, 2022 the company had come into the news cycle after it announced that it had inked a letter of intent with regards to the acquisition of Mobile Finance Group Ltd, which operates under the brand name Wallet Factory. Mobile Finance Group is a digital finance services provider and is also involved in the enterprise-grade e-wallet space. The acquisition could go a long way in helping Hammer Technology Holdings in executing its financial technology strategy. One of the solutions offered by Mobile Finance is the all-in-one wallet that can work on both B2B and B2C platforms.

International Star Inc (OTC:ILST) Completes Acquisition of Budding Equity: What Next?

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

Companies that come under new management can often turn into remarkable turnaround stories and hence, investors are often keen on those. This brings us to the subject of International Star Inc. (OTCMKTS:ILST), which had mainly been involved with mineral property interests. In June of 2022, ILST Holdco LLC had completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in the company, and the company came under new management. Under the control of the new management, International Star is seeking to create a thriving and financially strong business that could consistently create value for shareholders. The thrust of the strategy is to grow revenues internally and at the same time, work on acquisitions that are synergistic in nature. The acquisitions that International Star is generally interested in are sustainable businesses with free cash flow. As it happens, the company was in the news this month after it completed the acquisition of Budding Equity Inc. The announcement with regards to the completion of the acquisition was made by the company back on February 14, 2023. Budding Equity is a modern company that mainly works with celebrities and film studious to monetize their intellectual property. The monetization is done in the worldwide cannabis industry. This acquisition was also part of the company’s acquisition strategy that had been put in place. It had been reported back in August 2022 that the two companies had entered into an agreement. There is more to the deal that ought to be noted. As per the provisions of the agreement signed at the time, International Star provided funds to Budding Equity for its working capital needs related to boosting its inventory. Additionally, International Star had also been granted an option to complete the acquisition within 12 months. Up until now, the total loan drawdown from International Star to Budding Equity was $375,000 and that had led to the issuance of an equity stake of 7.5% in Budding Equity to International Star. Earlier on in the month, International Star decided to exercise the option to acquire the entirety of Budding Equity and issued a note to that effect to the company’s shareholders. Following the completion of the transaction, Budding Equity commanded a valuation of $1,700,000. That being said, the decision to exercise the option must not have come as a surprise to the company’s shareholders considering the fact that back on October 25 last year International Star had made an announcement to that effect. At the time, the company had announced that it was in the concluding stages of exercising the option to complete the purchase of 100% of the Budding Equity outstanding shares. International Star also announced that it had also issued a notice to the shareholders of Budding Equity with regard to its intentions to complete the acquisition. Another announcement made by the company at that same time was related to the election of Avi Minkowitz to the board of directors of International Star. He had been elected to the board back on October 20, 2022. Disclaimers: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides investors a safe harbor in regard to forward-looking statements.
