Could this have a higher upside than the pre-license canadian pot deals? The current canadian markets won't be big enough, while the mmar injunction is in effect. Unless a nationwide recreational legal status is passed. Maybe Uruguay is positioning itself to be the "Colombian Coffee" of Cannabis Sativa? OGB #9 GEONOVUS MINERALS (TSX:V.GNM, Stock Forum): Lots of mining going on with this stock right now, which is how it’s not being hectored to death by the TSX for its medical marijuana exploration in Uruguay. But that Uruguay play is interesting. Here’s the skinny: Uruguay is full recreational right now. But growing there is a fool’s errand because 1) no import/export allowed just yet and 2) there’s an election coming that will likely see, based on popular support, the recreational rules overturned. Where Geonovus is interesting is they’re not looking at growing weed, but rather using Uruguay as a research facility without the limitations inherent in US and Canadian research. As an example as to why this matters, North American hemp legally has to have no THC, which limits its yield and uses to grain, oil and fibre. Uruguayan hemp has no such limitation and offers far better yield and use cases that stretch into construction materials, plastics, composites and more. Add a lack of THC limitations in therapeutic research and a local arm’s length partner that is engaging with both sides of government and local academia and this is one that, if all goes to plan, could be very interesting. Lots of pieces have to come together to make it so, but get it on your radar. If Geonovus fully dives into medical marijuana, it owns the Uruguay game from the outset. $2.2m market cap, tight float, and the chance that they’ll literally strike gold isn’t a bad side bet.
