Cadiz, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDZI) Sets the Stage for Expansion with New 50-Year Water Delivery Partnership

CDZI

Water, the essence of life on Earth, remains a vital resource for survival and development. Despite significant improvements, challenges in providing access to clean water persist. Founded in 1983, Cadiz, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDZI) is dedicated to addressing these challenges through a comprehensive range of water solutions. With an extensive portfolio of assets and ongoing initiatives, Cadiz presents a compelling opportunity for potential investors. Cadiz, Inc. is committed to delivering clean, reliable, and affordable water. The company's operations span 45,000 acres of land, 2.5 million acre-feet of water supply, and 220 miles of pipeline assets. Cadiz's business model integrates water supply, storage, pipelines, and treatment technologies to address the multifaceted impacts of climate change on water access. Strategic Initiatives and Financial Stability CDZI has undertaken several initiatives to enhance its market position. The company's acquisition of ATEC Water Systems, LLC, a leader in water filtration solutions, underscores its commitment to addressing groundwater contamination. ATEC has secured numerous contracts, including a $5.2 million project in Gresham, Oregon, to supply filters for manganese removal from local groundwater. This project is part of the Cascade Groundwater Alliance, aiming to reduce reliance on imported surface water and improve local water quality. Cadiz's financial stability is reinforced by recent financing agreements. On March 15, 2024, the company secured a $41.2 million financing agreement with Heerema International Group Services BV, extending its debt maturity to 2027. This agreement provides additional liquidity to accelerate the development of water supply, pipeline, filtration, and storage assets. Further, a financing transaction led by Heerema International Group Services SA on April 25, 2024, bolstered Cadiz's financial position, supporting its growth strategy. Key Projects and Partnerships One of CDZI 's flagship projects is the Solomon Hills development in partnership with Solstra Communities California LLC. This project aims to deliver 1,275 AFY of water from the Cadiz Water Supply and Storage Project to support the development of over 4,000 homes for military and working families along the Central California coast. This initiative highlights Cadiz's role in addressing California's urgent housing needs by providing sustainable water solutions. CDZI is also engaged in partnerships to enhance water infrastructure in San Bernardino County's Mojave Basin region. Collaborating with Fenner Gap Mutual Water Company and the Victor Valley Wastewater Reclamation Authority, Cadiz aims to integrate recycled water from wastewater treatment plants to improve groundwater quality and supply efficiency. Recent Developments and Partnerships On June 20, 2024, Cadiz announced a definitive agreement with the Santa Margarita Water District (SMWD) to deliver water from the Cadiz Water Supply and Storage Project through the company's Northern Pipeline. This 50-year take-or-pay agreement, unanimously approved by SMWD's board of directors, signifies a major milestone for Cadiz. The agreement is expected to generate key revenue streams to support infrastructure financing for the pipeline project. Cadiz will deliver 5,000 acre-feet per year (AFY) to groundwater banks along the 220-mile pipeline in exchange for water that SMWD can obtain from State Water Contractors and local water suppliers. The price per acre-foot, inclusive of all costs, will not exceed $1,650. Susan Kennedy, Chairman and CEO of CDZI, stated, "Santa Margarita's agreement to take delivery of water via the Northern Pipeline will help us meet an aggressive construction schedule to have the pipeline online in 2026." Frank Ury, an SMWD board member, emphasized the importance of diversifying water supply portfolios and reducing dependence on the Colorado River and State Water Project resources. This agreement enables SMWD to access up to 5,000 AFY from the Cadiz Project through the Northern Pipeline, enhancing regional water resilience without waiting for a new pipeline's construction. Future Outlook Cadiz's transformation from a land and water asset company to a prominent player in the global water industry positions it for significant growth. The company's vast aquifer system in the eastern Mojave Desert, estimated to hold 30-50 million acre-feet of water, provides a crucial water resource in a region facing severe water scarcity. By leveraging strategic infrastructure such as pipelines and right-of-ways, Cadiz is poised to operate one of the largest water banks in the world. Cadiz is well-positioned for public partnerships and infrastructure projects. These initiatives aim to bolster water security and address the escalating demand for resilient water management solutions amid climate variability. Conclusion Cadiz, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDZI) stands at the forefront of the water solutions market, driving sustainability and growth through strategic initiatives and partnerships. The company's commitment to delivering clean, reliable water and addressing the evolving needs of communities and industries positions it as a compelling opportunity for potential investors. With a robust portfolio and a clear vision for the future, Cadiz is shaping the future of water management in a rapidly changing world. Disclaimers: RazorPitch Inc.

HTX Ventures丨BTCFi and CoreX: Pioneering the Future of Bitcoin DeFi

HTX Ventures

Foreword Singapore / June 21, 2024 – 2024 marks a year of breakthroughs for Bitcoin: BTC ETFs have received approvals from U.S. and Hong Kong regulators. Additionally, with the halving completed in May, Bitcoin is steadfastly moving toward grander goals. On the application side, we've seen ecosystem innovations introduced by Ordinals. Its increasing popularity has led to network congestion, bringing Bitcoin scalability back to the market's attention. Over the past few months, the market has seen a flourishing of Bitcoin Layer2 solutions and sidechains, with BTCFi regarded as a key sector with vast potential for growth. In the early stages of BTCFi's development, we noticed Core, a public chain that addresses Layer1 network security, speed, and decentralization issues with innovative solutions. Its Satoshi Plus consensus mechanism leverages the Bitcoin network's security to deliver efficient transaction processing speed (TPS) while maintaining sufficient decentralization (for details on the Core Chain, see https://docs.coredao.org/core-white-paper-v1.0.7 ). We believe that the Core Chain provides the best environment for developing BTCFi. As one of the Core Chain's earliest ecosystem partners, HTX has strategically invested in CoreX, a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the blockchain. HTX views CoreX as the future gateway and liquidity hub of the CoreDAO ecosystem, which will offer a brand-new trading experience. This report walks through CoreX's design philosophy, features, and strengths. HTX believes that CoreX will become one of the most competitive DEXs in CoreDAO and, as a booster for the ecosystem, will act as the center of liquidity for CoreDAO users. Why Are We Optimistic About BTCFi? Bitcoin decentralized finance, or Bitcoin DeFi, or BTCFi, means introducing decentralized financial functions into the Bitcoin ecosystem. Bitcoin has long been the blockchain network with the most robust consensus and security. However, due to its lack of smart contract capabilities, Bitcoin cannot host decentralized applications (dApps) like Ethereum or other public chains and is mostly used for "HODLing." For Bitcoin holders, experiences like on-chain lending, decentralized trading, and futures trading have largely been missing. In early 2024, Ordinals and Runes explored new use cases for the Bitcoin ecosystem, demonstrating the market's interest in Bitcoin's general-purpose functionalities. However, we believe that Bitcoin's potential in DeFi is still waiting to be unlocked. Currently, the total value locked (TVL) in BTCFi is close to $1.2 billion, accounting for only 0.09% of Bitcoin's total market cap. By contrast, mainstream public chains with smart contract capabilities have much higher TVL-to-market cap ratios: 14% for Ethereum, 6% for Solana, and approximately 3% for Ton. Even at a 1% ratio, BTCFi has the potential for tenfold growth. We believe BTCFi not only unleashes significant value for Bitcoin but also creates new income-generating opportunities for BTC holders. Through BTCFi, holders can do more than just "HODLing"; they can fully utilize their BTC by staking, lending, and market making, among other means. As BTCFi protocols evolve, they are expected to compete with, and even outperform, existing public chains, fostering a more diverse and robust DeFi ecosystem. The Rise of CoreDAO There are many solutions for expanding Bitcoin's functionality. Core, a Bitcoin-powered, EVM-compatible Layer1 public chain, stands out as a trailblazing approach. Core ensures its security through a consensus mechanism called Satoshi Plus, which combines Delegated Proof of Work (DPoW), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS), and non-custodial Bitcoin staking. First, DPoW leverages the security of Bitcoin's PoW, allowing miners to delegate their hash power to Core nodes while providing hash power to the Bitcoin network, thus ensuring consensus security for the Core Chain. Currently, 46% of Bitcoin nodes are delegated to the Core Chain, providing 259 EH/s of hash power. Additionally, Core's security is bolstered by the CORE tokens and Bitcoin delegated within its network, with nearly 125 million CORE and 3,000 BTC staked. This hybrid consensus model of POW and DPOS guarantees network security while enabling fast transaction processing. Core's design of non-custodial staking is another groundbreaking innovation. By eliminating the need to trust centralized custodians, Core allows BTC holders to participate in its consensus and earn staking rewards without losing control of their assets. This significantly lowers the barrier for BTC holders to engage in staking while enhancing Core's security. BTC holders do not need to bridge their assets cross-chain or convert them into wrapped assets like WBTC. This fully non-custodial mechanism can potentially attract massive BTC holders to participate in building the Core network's consensus. Looking toward CoreDAO's future, we believe that DeFi will be a key focus area for the Core ecosystem. Bitcoin users will be able to engage in lending, futures trading, and other protocols while retaining their BTC holdings. Innovations may include using Bitcoin as collateral for opening positions and using Bitcoin for liquidity rewards or staking liquidation. Additionally, on top of staking rewards, liquid staking mechanisms are poised to emerge. What Is CoreX? CoreX, the flagship DEX within the CoreDAO ecosystem, provides users with an outstanding trading environment through its simple yet smart design and comprehensive toolkits. By utilizing the Uni V3 infrastructure, CoreX addresses key challenges such as liquidity shortages and slippage. Additionally, it integrates AI technology to create a vibrant social trading hub. How Will CoreX Create New Trading Experiences? CoreX brings new trading experience to users through its optimized user experience, social features, and AI technology. It aims to lower the barriers for new users, enabling them to easily enter the DeFi space. CoreX significantly enhances the traditional DEX experience by offering a user-friendly trading environment. The platform provides advanced real-time charting tools that allow traders to track price fluctuations of selected tokens. It also integrates technical indicators and drawing tools for deeper analysis. These features are particularly helpful and user-friendly for traders who wish to share their insights on social media. Moreover, detailed information about each trade, including realized profits or losses, is displayed on the trading interface, making important data easy to understand and access. Looking ahead, CoreX plans to introduce customization options that allow traders to tailor their trading environment using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to meet their specific needs. CoreX also elevates social trading to a new level. It offers global chat rooms and coin-specific chat rooms where traders can exchange ideas and share trading opportunities with each other. Loyal users are given access to 1-on-1 encrypted messaging and the privilege to create private chat rooms. Additionally, CoreX integrates social elements into its operations, including offering high returns through staking programs and hosting exclusive online and offline events to recognize and reward NFT holders. The platform will soon launch a massive social airdrop event that offers up to 10 million tokens, which has garnered much attention. Moreover, CoreX provides a smart trading assistant that uses machine learning algorithms to recommend trading opportunities based on individual preferences, technical analysis, and social media sentiment. It also offers a one-click copy trading feature, allowing users to easily follow the strategies of successful traders. Furthermore, by partnering with algorithmic trading companies, the platform enables precise price predictions, helping users excel in the competitive trading environment. HTX Ventures' Strategic Investment in CoreX Crypto traders are always looking for platforms that offer consistent returns and high-quality trading experiences. CoreX prioritizes user experience and uses social and AI technologies to provide a superior and smart trading environment. This makes it an attractive focus for us. We believe that CoreX's emergence will take CoreDAO's DeFi development to the next level. Moving forward, we will remain committed to the CoreDAO ecosystem, leveraging our resources and strengths to drive its growth. —--------------------------- About HTX Ventures: HTX Ventures, the global investment division of HTX, integrates investment, incubation, and research to identify the best and brightest teams worldwide.

Clean Power Provides Reliable Energy During Peak Summer Months

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/GbRFzOdro3A Staying cool in your home in the hottest months of summer is dependent on enough energy being produced and reliable delivery of that energy. On a state and local level, as the electricity grid becomes more stressed not only by increasingly frequent severe weather events, but also by increasing electricity demand, clean energy is serving as a fundamental pillar in bolstering grid reliability. According to the American Clean Power Association, clean energy industry powers more of the United States every day and contributes more to the economy than any other source of energy. Nearly one fifth of all energy in the U.S. is provided by clean power. With just the utility-scale solar, wind, and energy storage systems operating in the U.S. today, we’ve achieved massive environmental benefits through reducing carbon emissions. Clean energy projects already on the grid avoid 426 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year – that’s equivalent to the total emissions 50 billion gallons of gasoline would produce. As the world becomes more susceptible to extreme weather, clean energy remains sustainable by not using precious water resources for cooling like conventional power plants. These projects save an estimated 211 billion gallons of water each year across the country, enough to fill 319,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. On June 6th Jason Grumet, American Clean Power Association, Chief Executive Officer conducted a nationwide media tour discussing these topics: · The role clean energy will play in powering the US in the summer. · Local data on your state ranks in clean energy creation and share of electricity. · How is it affecting the air we breathe. · National security implications and the usage of clean energy.
