Ryan Fishoff, CEO of American Premium Water, commented, “I am excited to announce the slate of products the Company will be launching as part of our Joint Venture with Cali Bear. The products selected embody performance lifestyle and are designed to support athletes on the court and appeal to non-active consumers. We have spent a lot of time developing a collection of high quality products that will fulfill a broad range of consumer needs. I believe our product ‘Kit’ provides a complete CBD solution under one brand, while appealing to diverse demographics. I am excited to begin the rollout next month with the Cali Bear Team. The athletes are great brand ambassadors and spokespeople for the brand and the products. Having an active group of athletes in international competition will be a huge asset moving forward and the Company looks forward to leveraging the content and awareness created from these events to drive sales. The full CBD Kit we have developed will help tell the story of how CBD products can be a part of consumers health and wellness routines.

We are in discussions with other retailers and distributors. Things are moving very quickly; I look forward to the coming months as we begin the marketing campaign behind the Cali Bear CBD product launch and the rollout begins into stores. I expect this will have a positive effect on topline revenue, and I do believe that these initiatives will help increase shareholder value. I look forward to keeping investors and our community informed in the coming weeks with further developments on additional retail distribution of the Company’s CBD products,” concluded Mr. Fishoff.

PLEMCo is a GAAP audited, diversified energy services and electric vehicle (EV) charging station solutions provider to large commercial and government customers. For nearly two decades, PLEMCo has specialized in the design and implementation of solar photovoltaic systems, energy efficiency measures and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for both commercial and government facilities throughout the southwest.

PLEMCo has several long-term (IDIQ-type) contracts with the Federal General Services Administration (GSA & GSA Fleet). The Company is also qualified by the U.S. Department of Energy as an ESCo (Energy Services Company).

The market has seen notable commitments from the Biden administration, which hopes to build 500,000 new EV charging stations over the next decade, creating a significant addressable market opportunity.

"PLEMCo is a market leader with best-in-class solutions to support our recently announcing EV charging station division,” said David Massey, Chief Executive Officer of Solar Integrated Roofing Corporation. “Their highly respected brand and access to the significant government contract market were key factors in our due diligence. We will expand and accelerate their achievements by transitioning their team and customers to supporting our full complement of products and services.

 

“The acquisition is strongly in line with our focus on creating shareholder value by rapidly growing our dedicated EV charging solutions division. We see increasing opportunity for this division as the nation continues its shift to a more sustainable transportation system, enabled by widespread adoption of electric vehicles and our comfortable cash balance of greater than $11 million as of our fiscal year ended Feb. 28, 2021. With the close of this acquisition, we anticipate seeing significant growth in our burgeoning EV charging solutions division.

 

“By integrating our technology, resources, and building on the momentum PLEMCo has established, we can reach our long-term goal of building a nationwide EV charging division in key regional markets.  We expect PLEMCo will be a meaningful contributor to our EV charging revenue growth in 2021 and beyond, as we build on our position as one of nation’s leading integrated, single-source solar power and roofing systems installation companies,” concluded Massey.

#Metals/ #GreenEnergy #Stocks News -Defense Metals (TSX-V: $DEFN.V) (OTCQB: $DFMTF) Invited By US Embassy, Ottawa To Attend 2021 #SelectUSA Investment Summit As A Canadian Delegation Member; @DefenseMetals

#Metals/ #GreenEnergy #Stocks News -Defense Metals (TSX-V: $DEFN.V) (OTCQB: $DFMTF) Invited By US Embassy, Ottawa To Attend 2021 #SelectUSA Investment Summit As A Canadian Delegation Member; @DefenseMetals  

 


Vancouver, British Columbia, March 17, 2021 –Investorideas.com Newswire, MiningSectorStocks.com and RenewableEnergyStocks.com -Mining/Metals/ Green Energy Stock News- Defense Metals Corp. (“Defense Metals”) (TSX-V:DEFN / OTCQB:DFMTF/ 35D: FSE)) is pleased to announce that it has recently been invited by the U.S Embassy in Ottawa, to attend the 2021 SelectUSA Investment Summit to be held virtually June 7-11, 2021.

 

Read this news, featuring DEFN in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2021/mining/03171DEFN-SelectUSA-Investment-Summit.asp

 

Defense Metals is currently advancing the road accessible Wicheeda Critical Rare Earth Element (REE) Property, which is located close to infrastructure approximately 80 kilometres northeast of Prince George, British Columbia (BC). The Wicheeda project has indicated mineral resources of 4,890,000 tonnes averaging 3.02% LREO (Light Rare Earth Elements) and inferred mineral resources of 12,100,000 tonnes averaging 2.90% LREO[1].

 

Craig Taylor, CEO of Defense Metals, stated: “Defense Metals looks forward to attending the 2021 SelectUSA Investment Summit.  At the Summit, Defense Metals will have the opportunity to meet with worldwide investors and engage with U.S. economic developers and service providers who can advise on a potential United States growth strategy. In addition, Defense Metals will continue its engagement with U.S. Interagency players, including the U.S. Department of Energy, the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and the Department of Defense, to reassert its position as a critical player in the U.S. industrial metals industry.”

 

The signing of the U.S.-Canada Action Plan on Critical Minerals Cooperation has fostered dialogue between Canada and U.S.A like no other time before. Together Canada and the USA continue identifying vulnerabilities and challenges in supply chains and facilitating discussions between Canadian mining producers of critical minerals and rare earth elements and U.S. Interagency groups to create a more resilient and safe North American supply chain.

 

With a renewed U.S.-Canada bilateral dialogue underway, and given the geographic proximity,  the 2021 SelectUSA Investment Summit will take a closer look at opportunities for Defense Metals to localize its potential upstream operations near a U.S. end-user to create more resilient access to various North American end users and make the operation less susceptible to trade disruptions, while adopting responsible sourcing and sustainable practices in our industries.

Excerpt

The commodity rally is still in full swing. A messed-up economic forecast has turned into a witch hunt for all major ingredients for high technology products. Whether it's cell phones, electric vehicles, non-fossil fuel power generation and storage, or modern server farms, they are needed everywhere - industrial metals. For special applications, we even need rare earths; these, in turn, are the process of a political chain of demands against the leading supplier - China. If China no longer supplies these crucial materials, modern high-tech products can no longer be manufactured. But where to get them, if not steal them?

 

DEFENSE METALS TSX-V: DEFN / OTCQB: DFMTF / FSE: 35D) - A VITAL RESOURCE EMERGES 

Demand in the electric vehicle (EV) industry is causing supply shortages in key metals such as copper, nickel and lithium. For nickel, for example, demand growth from EVs is expected to increase 14-fold between 2019 and 2030. For lithium and copper, demand growth is expected to be 9-10 times. Many metals are extracted in specific regions, and it is not uncommon for there to be political instability due to the high economic dimension. Around 50% of the world's cobalt, another vital material, comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

 

The same applies to the so-called rare earths, a unique group of extremely rare metals. The deposits of rare earths are found mainly in China, with more than 80%, and to a lesser extent in North America. The current bone of contention, also under the Biden administration, is arms exports to Taiwan - a major thorn in the Chinese government's side.

 

Should the trade war escalate again, the electromagnetically important metals such as neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium and terbium could end up on the sanctions list against the US. Currently, the Western industrial nations agree that they have long been talking about strategic metals and that a supply-side dominated by China cannot be the egg of Columbus. So they are looking for new deposits that, if developed, could fill the successive gaps in supply.

 

Canadian explorer Defense Metals has come to investors' attention with its property in Wicheeda, British Columbia. The results of an X-ray study show that the REE grades can be optimally extracted using low-cost front-end processing. The share price jumped from CAD 0.20 in December to over CAD 0.70 in February 2021 as the Defense Project now enters a new phase. With a current share price of CAD 0.46, the market capitalization reaches only CAD 27 million, an interesting level given the tight situation in the metals sector.

 

GEELY AUTOMOBILE  (GELYF) - POOR SALES FIGURES WEIGH ON THE SHARE PRICE

Chinese car Company Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. has published its delivery figures for February 2021 and has disappointed once again. Growth is declining - one would currently expect something different from e-mobility. In February, a total of 77,221 vehicles were sold, an increase of 265% compared to the same period last year. However, compared with the previous month, when the Company sold 156,326 units, sales slumped by more than half. The sales figures also include vehicles sold through the 50/50 joint venture Lynk & Co.

 

Among the total number of cars delivered by Geely Automobile in February 2021 were 2,539 New Energy and Electrified Vehicles (NEEVs), a significant deterioration from the previous month's 4,289 units (December: 7,171 units). Without further ado, sales of alternative propulsion methods to the internal combustion engine are sputtering. One could invoke the Chinese New Year, but those who want to buy a new car will do so in a month of celebration (perhaps even more so then).

 

Of course, the Geely Group has much more to offer. In December 2020, Geely Technology Group agreed with Daimler's Chinese partner Farasis Energy to represent their shared lithium-ion battery interests in a joint venture. Since Geely, in turn, has a stake in Daimler, an amalgamation of the plans of all three groups is obvious. Geely Automobile's share price has been under pressure since January 2021. From the high of EUR 3.63, it recently went down to EUR 2.40, but that was just about the distance that the share was able to gain in December. Over the year, the value has still doubled.

 

THYSSENKRUPP AG (TYEKF) - GERMANY AT RISK AS A STEEL LOCATION

The future of the German steel sector continues to raise many questions. North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister-President Armin Laschet has once again rejected a state takeover of ThyssenKrupp, leaving the Company itself to deal with the market's adversities. The much cheaper competition from China, in particular, is becoming increasingly dangerous. The industry has been struggling with dumped imports for years.

 

A few years ago, products from the Middle Kingdom were still considered backward. Neither quality nor sustainability could keep up with the European competition, which was why the Chinese campaigned for import restrictions. But the tide has now turned. Arnd Köfler, the Chief Technology Officer at ThyssenKrupp Steel, made it public that the new steel mills in China also met the highest technological standards. The country is massively expanding its renewable energy capacities, which means that more green electricity can be used for climate-friendly steel production in the future.

 

Like the entire European steel industry, ThyssenKrupp is therefore under technological pressure. Thinking a little further, hydrogen technology, for example, would push two issues at once. On the one hand, the automotive industry urgently needs an alternative to the unclean battery, and on the other, H2 could enable the production of a "green steel." Of course, this requires funds that are not easy to conjure up in Thyssen's battered balance sheet. So the pressure from China will tend to intensify.

 

Investors who are willing to take risks have bought Thyssen shares on the upside for the time being because hopes of an economic turnaround are also expected to turn everything around for the better at Thyssen. At EUR 11.65, however, the stock is not yet out of the woods. A chart breakout would only be seen at prices above EUR 13.20.
