Artisanal Spirits Company targets new markets as it expands global experience for afficionados

Artisanal Spirits Company PLC

Artisanal Spirits Company CEO Andrew Dane tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company specialises in the creation and sale of exceptional, limited-edition whiskies and related experiences globally. Its primary operations are managed through a subsidiary, the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, with recent expansions including the launch of JG Thomson in 2021 and the acquisition of a new independent bottling business, Single Cask Nation, in the US earlier this year. Artisanal Spirits Company procures whiskies from over 150 Scotch malt whisky distilleries and additional spirits from 20 countries, maturing and bottling these under their brands. The company sells these products exclusively to its global membership, which has surpassed 40,000 members. Members enjoy exclusive purchasing rights and access to member rooms in the UK and partner bars worldwide, enhancing the whisky experience. Marketing strategies vary by region, leveraging digital platforms, affiliate programs, and gifting, particularly in the US during Father's Day. Dane emphasized the enjoyment of whisky over investment, offering bottled casks for personal consumption. Membership growth, a key indicator of revenue potential, increased by 10% last year, contributing to an 8% revenue growth. He said the company explores new markets through a franchise model, transitioning successful franchises into subsidiaries as seen in Australia and Taiwan. Currently, opportunities in Vietnam, Brazil, India, and Nigeria are being considered. The recent acquisition of Single Cask Nation in the US aims to further penetrate the American market, exploiting the minimal overlap between their respective audiences to target the American whiskey segment.

News Release

NuggMD to Again Offer Cannabis Support Line, the Too-High Hotline, on 4/20

NuggMD

NuggMD, the nation's leading medical marijuana telemedicine platform, is once again helping accidental cannabis over-indulgers find support this 4/20 with its Too-High Hotline. The hotline (323-518-2728), first established last April, is a resource for consumers who, for whatever reason—cough, cough—want a friendly voice who will converse with them, calm them down, or just listen. States have seen an explosion in much-needed harm- and anxiety-reduction measures, thanks to the reduced stigma around cannabis use. Still, many Americans resist seeking help for highly emotional psychedelic experiences because cannabis is still illegal at the federal level. This results in unguided use by consumers who are unprepared to handle unusual mental effects. It is why emergency-room visits for the overconsumption of cannabis usually spike on April 20. “To be clear: Yes, this is a real service. Anyone who consumes, or consumes too much, this April 20 can call us and talk to us about whatever they want to. No judgments,” said Alex Milligan, co-founder and CMO of NuggMD. He continued: “There is also a serious side to the 4/20 holiday that I hope gets more attention this year. The cannabis movement acknowledges the need for harm-reduction measures as the substance continues to gain mainstream acceptance. Use of the plant affects different people in different ways, and the truth is that some of those effects are negative or unpleasant. So, beyond setting up the Too-High Hotline every April, we are committed to consumer empowerment and education every day throughout the year.” NuggMD’s Too-High Hotline is available to everyone in the United States this 4/20 to offer support during or after their cannabis experience. NuggMD is also educating patients about harm reduction and support options through a dedicated landing page, nationwide email notifications to its network of more than a million patients, and additional ongoing campaigns focused on harm reduction and safe consumption. To learn more about NuggMD’s Too High Hotline, please visit https://www.nuggmd.com/support. About NuggMD NuggMD is the nation's leading medical marijuana technology platform, serving patients in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. They've connected over 1,300,000 patients face-to-face with their new medical marijuana doctors via their state-of-the-art telemedicine platform. They believe every human being has the right to explore the benefits of medical cannabis and are fully committed to helping each patient explore every option in their journey to wellness.

Bluepeak to Accelerate Its Over $100 Million Investment in Fiber Optic Network Expansion Into Oklahoma and Texas

Bluepeak

Bluepeak is accelerating its more than $100 million investment to expand its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network to over ten new markets in Oklahoma and Texas starting this year. “We’re thrilled to continue building out our fiber-to-the-home network, expanding into new communities and bringing cutting-edge technology and an incredible value proposition to more customers in Oklahoma, Texas and elsewhere,” said Bluepeak CEO Rich Fish. The expansion means Bluepeak’s fiber network will soon be available to more than 100,000 new homes and businesses in new markets across Oklahoma and Texas. Denison, Texas, was the company’s most recent fiber expansion market announced in late 2023, and the new investment by Bluepeak will result in more than ten additional communities in the region benefiting from greater choice among their internet options starting in 2024 and 2025. Since 2021, Bluepeak has been dramatically improving broadband options by bringing fast, reliable, affordable fiber internet to residents of Oklahoma, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and Texas. The latest network expansion investment is part of Bluepeak’s larger plans to invest more than $200 million to continue building out its network in its currently served markets, reaching more than 200,000 new locations with its fiber network in 2024 and 2025. With Bluepeak service, customers get fiber-fast speeds, equal upload and download speeds and whole-home WiFi. Bluepeak service features all-in pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with a minimum service tier of 1 gigabit-per-second (Gbps). Homes can get up to 5 Gbps and businesses 10 Gbps and beyond. Each fiber internet speed package includes Wi-Fi powered by eero, along with the added value of eero Secure, which protects devices from online threats, ads and allows for customized content filtering. Bluepeak's fiber network provides reliable connectivity and the bandwidth to connect more devices for internet, streaming, gaming and more. Ultimately, Bluepeak service increases broadband competition for internet consumers by providing a fast, reliable, affordable choice for internet in communities where options have traditionally been very limited. According to the Federal Trade Commission, competition “benefits consumers by keeping prices low and the quality and choice of goods and services high.” In addition, a 2020 report by Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond on “Bringing Broadband to Rural America” determined that broadband access and adoption is linked to increased job and population growth, higher rates of new business formation, higher home values, and lower unemployment rates. Those interested in more information on Bluepeak service availability and details on the construction process can sign up for updates by entering their service address at mybluepeak.com. About Bluepeak Bluepeak is a new kind of internet provider bringing fast, reliable, affordable internet to places that have needed better options for too long. The company has roots serving Great Plains and Midwest communities going back more than 30 years. As the need for internet in the region has evolved so has Bluepeak, upgrading and expanding service to several markets in South Dakota, southwest Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wyoming and North Dakota with the newest cutting-edge technology. These expansion efforts include multi-million-dollar infrastructure projects, community involvement and growth through local hires. Bluepeak is earning the trust of customers and businesses through simple, affordable offerings, responsive, reliable customer service and transparent pricing.

TNR Gold Corp

TNR Gold Corp executive chairman Kirill Klip discusses the company's strategic moves and upcoming projects with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion. Klip highlighted the purchase of over 6 million shares under its normal course issuer bid program, underscoring the management's belief that the current share price does not reflect the true value of the company's assets. He referenced a report from Fundamental Research Corp., which set a price target of 22 cents per share. Additionally, Klip noted significant progress in TNR Gold Corp's projects, including the Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska, which benefits from rising gold prices and promising drill results. The project's inferred gold reserves stand at over 700,000 ounces, with potential for resource expansion through further drilling. Klip also discussed how Ganfeng Lithium is advancing its Mariana Lithium Project, scheduled to start production in 2024, marking a significant step as TNR Gold Corp transitions to a green energy metals royalty company. This project will provide the company's first cash flow from NSR royalty payments without requiring capital contributions. Furthermore, Kirill discussed the Los Azules Copper Project in Argentina, highlighting meetings with the new Argentine president and potential project implications under new economic policies. The project's expected outputs could significantly increase TNR Gold Corp's revenue streams from NSR royalties. Contact Details v +1 604-688-8158 na-editorial@proactiveinvestors.com
