Bristow goes with technology
and selects the stock to
watch in 2022
Welcome to 2022! I’m cautiously optimistic that this will be
the year we get to put Covid in the rear-view mirror and get
on with life without always waiting for the next shoe to drop
(or a new variant to take hold). I’m happy to put 2021 in the
history books and anticipate the bright future that could be.
In that vein, I’d like to look ahead to what I think could be
an exciting story for 2022. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not
saying this is my top pick or suggesting it will go up. This
is simply my perspective on a company that has a lot going on
that could be rewarded by the market this year.

The path of least resistance, after this week’s market action,
would be to pick a uranium stock. Between how this group
performed in 2021 and even more impressively, the first couple
of trading days of 2022, it would certainly make for an easy
article to write. I’m also a fan of junior base and precious
metal mining companies, especially ones with plenty of results
pending, but not today. The future is technology, so my
exciting stock for 2022 is a technology company that posted a
respectable 35% return in 2021 but is well positioned for
2022. It also happened to evolve out of a junior mining
exploration company so it’s the best of both worlds.

If you haven’t figured out what company I’m talking about yet,
it’s Zentek Ltd. (TSXV: ZEN), formerly known as ZEN Graphene
Solutions Ltd. There is so much going on at Zentek it’s hard
to know where to start. The Company currently describes itself
as an IP development and commercialization company focused on
next-gen healthcare solutions in the areas of prevention,
detection and treatment. Zentek is currently focused on
commercializing ZENGuard™, a patent-pending coating shown to
Bristow goes with technology and selects the stock to watch in 2022
have 99% antimicrobial activity, including against COVID-19,
and the potential to use similar compounds as products against
infectious diseases. The Company also has an exclusive
agreement to be the global commercializing partner for a newly
developed aptamer-based rapid pathogen detection technology.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg in my opinion.

The near-term catalyst is all about the antimicrobial coating

ZENGuardTM, which was developed as a virucidal graphene-oxide
(“GO”) based compound to be applied as a coating onto fabrics,
which included personal protective equipment such as face
masks in an effort to increase protection afforded by such
products. In September 2021 the Company received Health Canada
approval for the sale of ZENGuard™ coated masks and entered
into a binding definitive license and supply agreement with
Trebor Rx Corp. for the supply of ZENGuard™ to coat face masks
and potentially other health care products. To date, Trebor
has purchased, and the Company has delivered, quantities of
ZENGuard™ coating sufficient for the production of 10,000,000
masks currently done via third parties. However, development
is underway of the Company’s industrial scale facility to
produce ZENGuard™ and to coat materials. The Company
anticipates assembly and installation of the industrial scale
production equipment to be completed during Q1 2022, at which
point production is expected to commence while commissioning,
optimization and production ramp-up occurs over the following
two to three months. Once this industrial process is in
operation, the Company expects the production capacity of
ZENGuard™ to increase significantly.

Zentek recently closed a bought deal public offering and a
non-brokered private placement for aggregate proceeds of C$33
million to assist in the build out of their facility as well
as research and development, acceleration of business growth
opportunities and working capital. Other growth opportunities
include the development of a new carbon-based nanotechnology-
enhanced icephobic coating to reduce ice accretion. The
Company anticipates applications for aircraft, wind turbines,
ocean vessels, and building structures to increase safety and
efficiency outcomes in ice-forming weather conditions. In late
November Zentek announced it had been awarded an R&D test
contract through the Innovation Solutions Canada Testing
Stream to test ZENGuard™ coated HVAC filters with interest
from 3 different units within the National Research Council of
Canada. Other innovations include the development of a stable
diesel fuel additive, which increased the performance of
diesel fuel by up to 10% in initial testing.

There is an awful lot going on at Zentek so I would encourage
you to go check out their website to learn more because I’ve
only scratched the surface of this stock to watch in 2022.
Granted it’s not a small cap with a market cap of roughly $466
million after the closing of the latest capital raise earlier
this week. Nevertheless, there are plenty of near-term
catalysts with having their own production facility
operational in the next few months and some pretty creative
and unique opportunities being developed to propel this
Company into the future.

Moovly Media, A complete
online    video    creation
solution flying high, but
still under the radar
I’m not much of a YouTube person, or TikTok, or social media
in general, so perhaps I’m not the most qualified individual
to comment on making videos. However, if I were inclined to
post my opinions on the internet or try and give Joe Rogan a
run for his money, there is a tool I would definitely be
utilizing to make myself look as professional as possible. I
would be using the Moovly Studio Video Editor brought to us by
Moovly Media Inc. (TSXV: MVY). But before I continue, this is
not an advertisement for Moovly’s products, it’s simply my
introduction into the company I’m going to discuss today. Like
I said, I’m not a curator of video content so you are stuck
with my verbal commentary, although as I understand it, Moovly
has a product that can turn this note into a form of video or
powerpoint presentation.

Essentially, Moovly offers its users the most complete online
video creation solution on the market. Combining an intuitive
and easy-to-use video editor with millions of copyright free
assets available in many different styles, and more advanced
features such as text-to-speech, green screen recording, video
automation solutions and white-labeling options. It could
actually make a grumpy old guy like me look reasonably
competent, at least until I started talking. Moovly is the
leading provider of creative cloud-based tools to create
compelling marketing, communications and training videos and
video presentations. Clients include users from over 300 of
the Fortune 500, small businesses, freelancers and Ivy League
universities making intuitive, DIY, cost effective video-based
content.

The reason for going on and on and on about the tools
available at Moovly Media is to provide context for a deal
that the Company signed last Wednesday that seems to have
flown under the radar. Moovly announced that it has been
selected, after a lengthy competitive process, as an exclusive
partner to Lee Enterprises’ Simply Activ8 platform. The reason
I say it appears to have flown under the radar is because the
stock traded flat on both that Wednesday and Thursday on very
low volume following the press release. It’s possible the
market didn’t grasp the magnitude of this announcement so let
me try and shed a little more light on why I think people
should be paying attention to this deal. Lee Enterprises
(NASDAQ: LEE) is a major subscription and advertising platform
and a leading provider of local news and information. With
Lee’s Enterprises’ daily newspapers, rapidly growing digital
products and over 350 weekly and specialty publications
serving 77 markets in 26 states. Year to date, Lee’s
newspapers have an average daily circulation of 1.2 million,
and legacy websites, including acquisitions, reach more than
56 million digital unique visitors.

The Simply Activ8 platform developed by Lee Enterprises has
embedded the Moovly video automation platform to offer its
clients a powerful business marketing video-making tool, fully
integrated and branded. The solution enables businesses to
create advertisements and other marketing videos in a simple,
cost-effective way, and in doing so brings additional revenue
and client stickiness to the platform. James Green, Vice
President/Digital at Lee Enterprises stated, “Video is a
powerful tool in advertising. Our partnership with Moovly
makes that tool affordable and accessible for small to medium
businesses.” For Moovly it’s an excellent example of allowing
other companies to capitalize on the world-class platform they
have built by integrating it into their own product offering.
I view this as potentially a very high margin deal for Moovly
as they’re simply distributing an existing product to a much
larger user base and will be collecting fees from it.

Moovly had a market cap of just under $18 million as of
yesterday’s close. So you can imagine how a deal like this can
impact the Company once the revenue from this transaction
starts flowing through to Moovly. I expect that Q3 results
will be out shortly, which should be a pretty interesting read
given the recent corporate update detailing unprecedented
growth. Perhaps as transactions like the Lee Enterprises deal
start flowing through into the revenue column Moovly Media
will no longer be flying under the radar.

How hosting infrastructure
for data centers and crypto
mining operations may be the
missing link
Everyone has heard of cryptocurrency mining and data centers
by now; but have you heard of a company that specializes in
providing low cost infrastructure (power and water) and
hosting services for these sectors. Specialized crypto mining
and data centers use huge amounts of electricity so sourcing
cheap, reliable, and ideally green electricity is paramount.
Today’s company does just that.

Energy costs are a key factor for data centers and crypto
mining operations due to the large amounts of electricity
needed

Source: Link Global Technologies website

Link Global Technologies Inc. (CSE: LNK) (“LINK”) operates as
a Bitcoin mining business as well as providing hosting and
power purchase contracts to clients. LINK provides the
infrastructure and operating expertise for digital mining and
data hosting operations. The Company had its origins in crypto
mining using low cost electricity so it has hands on
experience.
LINK’s main businesses involve:

     LINK’s original Crypto mining business (1,400 Bitcoin
     mining machines).
     Securing power purchase agreements (PPAs) for customers
     in data centers or crypto mining. LINK arranges
     scalable, cost-effective access to clean energy. LINK
     provides power to over 5,000 mining machines within
     existing operational capacity.
     Supplying energy efficient containerized data centers.

LINK’s point of difference is energy efficiency. LINK is able
to save data center or crypto mining clients money on their
infrastructure costs (notably electricity and/or water bills)
by providing expertise and personalized solutions for each
client’s needs. LINK is able to tap into green energy sources
as well as energy storage solutions.

LINK state: “Link’s staff has a combined 25 years of
alternative and islanded power experience. We lead in the
capture of unused energy and waste heat to generate power for
the Blockchain……Link designs state of the art mobile
facilities for environments spanning the globe. We have
standalone solutions for every climate from the cold of Canada
to the heat of Africa.”

About Link Global Technologies business and how they make
revenue
Source: Link Global Technologies website

Revenue generation

LINK achieves its revenue primarily from its Bitcoin mining
business and also from providing hosting (can be the complete
infrastructure package) and power purchase contracts to
clients.

One example of how LINK’s business model works is seen in the
recently announced agreement to begin building the initial
10MW site with Mission World Group. LINK states: “Link will
design, build and operate the infrastructure for the operation
of the Miners and will also provide management services
necessary to maintain 98% uptime on the Miners. In
consideration of these services, Link will work with GSV to
achieve competitive rates for power and receive a profit share
of mined coins.”

LINK is able to fund such operations from capital such as the
announced August 2021 deal to raise $18 million via an equity
facility with Alumina Partners, LLC.

LINK acquires Clean Carbon Equity (“CCE”)

As announced on November 2, 2021, LINK completed the
acquisition of Clean Carbon Equity (“CCE”). The acquisition
allows LINK to take steps towards providing carbon offsets in
the digital economy sector, immediately acquiring cash flow
and creating new long-term revenue opportunities for the
Company.

LINK CEO, Stephen Jenkins, commented: “This business model
creates another revenue source apart from the digital currency
mining by creating verifiable offsets that we can market and
monetize.”

Closing remarks

Link Global Technologies is an innovative power and
infrastructure solutions provider for crypto mining, and data
center operations. These operations have huge electricity and
water needs, so it makes sense to get the best supply deals.
Increasingly this also involves sourcing green energy and
energy storage backup systems, and now carbon credits.

LINK has experience being a Bitcoin miner and has gained the
skills and IP to be able to assist others. LINK’s revenues are
coming in from their Bitcoin mining business and their
electricity supply contracts. Given the demand growth from
crypto mining and data centers it stands to reason that LINK
will    capture    an   increasing     number    of   these
energy/infrastructure supply contracts.

Link Global Technologies trades on a market cap of ~C$10
million. One to follow in the exciting space of crypto and
data center infrastructure providers. Stay tuned.
Investing  in   disruptive
sectors,   NASDAQ   listed
Ideanomics  continues   to
expand its EV investment
portfolio
Investors are increasingly aware that we have an electric

     electric street sweepers deployed nation-wide.

Ideanomics CEO, Alf Poor, commented: “This quarter was
highlighted by two very important strategic planned
acquisitions of VIA Motors and Energica both scheduled to
close in the first quarter… The integration of these two
companies provides Ideanomics with full OEM capabilities
across vehicle types, and positions Ideanomics as one of the
only full-service, turnkey, offerings in the market today.“

Closing remarks

Ideanomics really is becoming a powerful force both with their
EV related businesses and their capital/financial services
businesses.

Certainly, Ideanomics is not an easy company to fully
comprehend with just so much going on. Despite this the
revenue growth and numbers paint a picture of a growing
enterprise. The recent stock price pullback means the stock
now trades on only ~3.4x forecast 2023 revenues. That compares
to the more flashy EV companies with multiples often over 10x.

It looks like a very good time to take a second look at
Ideanomics Inc.
