SAGD (South American Gold Corp.)

Switching focus to a local mining company with a bright future, South America Gold Corp. (SAGD OTCQB). South American
Gold is engaged in identifying, acquiring, exploring and developing gold and silver properties in Latin America, Mexico,
United States and Southeast Europe.

Led by an experienced team of professionals with over 150 years of combined industry experience, South American Gold

has big plans for 2013. One of them being the exploration of many high profile locations such as the Baltimore mines (USA)
which is a former producing silver mine with over 18,000 tons processed from which was produced 1,700 ounces of gold and
273,000 ounces of silver, SAGD is of the firm belief that with modern exploration techniques and technology the Baltimore
mine could produce again.

Further exciting projects in Q3-Q4 also await, such as an initial resource or energy project in Croatia and a re-entry into the
Colombian market if trends look favorable. It’s also worth mentioning that SAGD believes in operating within a framework of
long term stability with the best interests of their investors at heart. Now that the winter season is over and gold prices are
going up this company has a very bright future ahead of itself.

BVIG (KAT Exploration Inc)

If you’re looking to invest in a quality mining company on the rise you should definitely check out KAT Gold Holdings Corp.
(OTCQB: BVIG) . KAT Exploration Inc. is a mineral exploration company whose main objective is to locate and explore land with
minerals and precious metal deposits in the mining rich regions of Newfoundland. Featuring many ongoing and potential gold
mining projects it would be worthy to note that analysts have predicted gold prices could reach $1900 an ounce later this year,
making a potential investment into a mining company such as BVIG a logical choice. But there is something we will mention
that makes this particular company stand out from the rest of the crowd.

KAT Gold Holdings Corp, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with J. Kwarteng Mines
Limited for the purpose of assessing and potentially mining the alluvial deposits at the J. Kwarteng Mines Ltd concession.
Gross proceeds from any mining operations will be split 85% in favour of Kat Gold Holdings and 15% J. Kwarteng Mines Limited.
The concession is located west of the Atewa Range, in the Kibi District, Eastern Region, and is one of the oldest gold producing
areas in Ghana.

Ken Stead, CEO stated, “This concession has tremendous alluvial gold potential. Virtually all of the past gold mining activity
in the region has focussed on alluvial gold occurrences surrounding the range, although vein gold deposits are also
known in the area. We are now in the process of assessing all of the past artisanal mining operations on the property.
If our assessments are favourable, we intend to implement alluvial mining operations at the site as soon as possible.”

Along with the Ekom Eya mining concession Kat Gold Holdings is establishing a solid foundation in the gold industry and will
now begin to seek working capital to bring these and other projects into full production.

You can view a report on the Kwarteng Mines Kibi Area in the following link.http://katexploration.com/PressReleases/
Kwarten_Mines_Kibi_Area.pdf

In summary, considering the potential rise in gold prices and the solid foundation being set at KAT Gold Holdings Corp. we can
expect some good things from this company in the near future.

#SUMM (Ayre Investments, Inc)

It would be wise to keep an eye on Ayre Investments, Inc. (SUMM OTCPINK) is a full service securities brokerage firm with some great plans for the future.

The company trades securities as an agent and a principal on exchanges such as the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ and maintains selling agreements with the nation’s largest mutual fund families and insurance companies offering over 2,000 load and no load funds, annuities and insurance products.

The Company is looking to expand over the next year via client development, joint ventures and the purchase of existing small brokerages and broker dealers. They are also looking to expand their services by offering an online platform to execute trading and managing back office records.

In this day and age online platforms can be crucial to business development, we could see some great future progress from SUMM once these developments are finalized and the company has expanded its business in every sense of the word.

#GACR (Green Automotive Company)

Electric vehicles is an industry with enormous growth potential, manufacturing costs are in a constant decline while the market is consistently growing, all the more reason to take a look at GACR.

Green Automotive Company, (OTC:GACR),  recently acquired Liberty Electric Cars Ltd in Europe and has signed a binding agreement to buy UK-based electric vehicle distributor Going Green Limited (www.goingreen.co.uk). Trading under the brand name, “GoinGreen”, it has sold over 1400 of the highly successful G-Wiz electric vehicles, making it Europe’s largest single retailer of electric vehicles and generating a yearly turnover in excess of $1 Million!

With over 1400 vehicles distributed in the UK alone, GoinGreen has sold the highest number of EVs from a single retail point in any European country. GoinGreen has also developed a world-class team with more than 100 years combined EV, automotive, mechanical and electrical engineering experience.

They have been participating in a TV programme of CC TV, the main Chinese international TV station about Greener cars for London. It can be viewed at the following link http://english.cntv.cn/program/newsupdate/20130313/104798.shtml

This is a move that could do wonders for GACR, as they’ve aquired a company with an already large following and credibility, so take at look at this growing industry and especially GACR considering the potential market boom this  aquisition could make.

 

#ADHC ( American Diversified Holdings Corporation )

American Diversified Holding Corp (ADHC OTCPINK) is a company working in an exciting up and coming market with great potential for future growth, ADHC has been working on some exciting new developments and we could expect some great results in 2013.

ADHC’s Management has been working with leading developers and expects to unveil products capable of generating significant revenue in the 2nd quarter of 2013 with a focus on Remote Health Monitoring Systems, Electronic Medical Records and Personalized Medicine. Mhealth is a rapidly growing industry that still hasn’t reached its full market potential. The total market for handheld devices in healthcare reached $8.8 billion in 2010, a 7% increase from 2009 and the estimated market in the mobile health care sector are estimated to grow in line with the general market estimates.

It would be good to keep an eye on this company as these new developments are coming at a time where the Mhealth industry is expected to have its best year yet.

SBFM
Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. – SBFM is a pharmaceutical company primarily focused on research and development of drugs for cancer treatment. And just has recently completed six IND-Enabling studies for Adva-27a, the Company’s flagship oncology drug candidate. We spoke to Mr. Sebaaly, and he stated that there hasn’t been a product like this on the market yet, and also not as effective as this one. Adva-27a is a small molecule that has proven effective at killing Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer cells (MCF-7/MDR) and Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells (H69AR) in vitro. We were at once convinced this company has bright future ahead. Considering how many people are diagnosed with various types of cancer, this drug, Adva-27a is a necessity and will find its way to the market. Don’t forget, you may also profit with SBFM, things seem to be heating up on the market as the interest in this company rises. Don’t be the last in the row!

VNGE
Vanguard Energy is an oil drilling and production company focused on established oil fields in southeast Texas. Just recently the company has announced revised reserve report – after additional review, the third party reserve engineering firm which certifies the Company’s annual reserve report has increased its estimate of the Company’s September 30, 2012 proved reserves to 725,882 barrels of oil, a 17% increase from the previously announced total of 620,000 barrels. The new total represents a 22% increase from the 595,000 barrels the Company had on September 30, 2011. The PV-10 valuation of the new total is $43.4 million, an increase of 21% from the valuation of $35.8 million previously announced and an increase of 35% from September 30, 2011, the Company’s prior fiscal year end. Now is the right moment to jump in, while the price per share is less than $1, it won’t be for too long!

HDSI
HDS International Corp. is a green technology company developing proprietary and patent-pending technologies with breakthrough applications in the carbon recycling, agriculture, waste management and eco-sustainability industries. The Company just announced a major contract with the City of Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, for exclusivity and a feasibility study toward a multi-million dollar anaerobic digester and algae biomass waste-to-energy project. HDS is strategically positioned at the center of numerous multi-billion dollar industries, which we do not believe is not properly reflected by its share price, still represents a major opportunity for the traders. HDSI got the attention with this new deal and constant rising in price per share. The deal with City of Saint John is just a start, this company is certainly ready for many more deals like this to come. Money in the pocket for everyone, get in while it’s still affordable!

RXII
RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation is a biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing innovative therapies based on its proprietary, next-generation RNAi platform. RXII recently announced that the company has initiated the second double-blind vehicle controlled Phase 1 study with its anti-scarring compound, RXI-109. RXi Pharmaceuticals’ first clinical program involves RXI‑109, a self-delivering RNAi compound (sd‑rxRNA®) developed for the reduction of dermal scarring. The first clinical trial of RXI‑109 has shown excellent safety and tolerability with ascending single doses. This second trial uses multiple doses and evaluates safety and side effects of these doses, while also exploring possible effects of RXI-109 on the healing process. The management is pretty much satisfied the way things are going right now, and expect the initiation of the Phase 2 to start next year. RXII got our attention immediately, since their trade is great, and with potential great gains. Don’t hesitate, RXII is the winner, the question is whether you do or don’t know where the money is!

RLIA
If you didn’t get a chance to meet ReliaBrand, Inc. among the latest stock picks, now is the time to do so. RLIA owns and manufactures the Adiri® brand of infant feeding products. Their product, Adiri® is the most highly awarded baby bottle in the history of the category with international recognition for its superior medical benefits and revolutionary design, since their products are BPA-free. This company has already set foot in Hollywood, and Adiri® is one of the most desirable products of Hollywood mothers. But, this is not RLIA’s final stop, things are just warming up for them. Marketing campaign is set to start at the beginning of the next year, and is designed to bring attention to RLIA’s innovative and most importantly medically safe product globally. With less than half a buck entry point is very favorable for what comes next. Once the campaign kicks in, these levels below dollar will be long forgotten, and frenzy for baby safe products may start!

ADHC
ADHC and its subsidiary Rebel Networks are among the few providers that offer hybrid cloud hosting, thus it is poised for success. Hosting infrastructure services market in the US is projected to expand at a five-year compound annual growth rate of 6.8%. Hybrid hosting / cloud strategies and portfolios will ensure continued growth for traditional hosting infrastructure providers.A hybrid cloud hosting solution can deliver the best of public and private cloud. This way companies could gain significant flexibility by combining the security and control of private clouds with the quickness of public clouds. That’s why more and more companies are leveraging hybrid clouds for a new level of IT flexibility and efficiency.

 

MCW
Just a few days ago, MCW Energy Group and its subsidiary MCW Oil Sands Recovery, LLC. received a notice that the third and last container of its pilot plant components has been received and is being shipped via truck to its Asphalt Ridge, Utah lease site. MCW already has all the permits to start the assembly of its initial oil sands extraction plant project. MCW’s scheduled action plan is to complete the 250 barrels per day extraction plant’s assembly during December and commence the testing phase at the very beginning of the next year. In the previous issue of Friday Tips we have mentioned that MCW Oil Sands Recovery, LLC has developed and patented eco-friendly technology that will launch them among top oil production companies on the market. The reaction to this fact is obvious, looking at the MCW’s chart you’ll notice that the price per share is rising day by day as well as volume. Choose your perfect moment, ‘cause from what we have come to uncover from the latest research is that for next year MCW might easily reach a new high price per share.

But SLIO’s management recently announced that the company will start the first phase of exploration program on its Philadelphia REE (rare earth elements) property.

Their goal is to improve the quality of life through their array of green products and green system, they have recycling products and solar power products.
