Posted by AGORACOM at 9:02 AM on Monday, May 7th, 2018

 

  • Aukam processing plant has been commissioned successfully
  • An initial shipment of graphite concentrate has been delivered
  • 4.5 tonnes of graphite concentrate grading between 88%-95% Carbon as Graphite delivered
  • Perpetuus Carbon Technologies will manufacture graphenes to be used in the tire industry.

TORONTO, May 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Gratomic Inc. (“Gratomic” or the “Company”) (GRAT.V) (CB81.F) a vertically integrated graphite to graphenes, advanced materials development company is pleased to announce that its Aukam processing plant has been commissioned successfully and an initial shipment of graphite concentrate has been made.

The Aukam processing plant was constructed between December 2017 and March 2018, with initial throughput and optimization reached during March and April 2018. To date, the plant has generated 4.5 tonnes of graphite concentrate grading between 88%-95% Carbon as Graphite (“Cg”) of which 2.25 tonnes of concentrate has been shipped to Perpetuus Carbon Technologies (“Perpetuus”) for the manufacture of graphenes to be used in the automobile bicycle tire industry. Gratomic and Perpetuus are currently in collaboration to build on Perpetuus’ capability to initially provide 500 tonnes of surfaced modified graphenes per annum to support the volumes required by the tire manufacturing industry (see March, 4, 2018 news release). The first cycle tire order for the graphenes to a globally recognised brand is planned for delivery at the end of the second quarter of 2018. Additional applications that have now been generated in a preproduction format include radiant heating membranes and super hydrophobic coatings with an addressable market that includes: marine, oil & gas, power generation, industrial (repair & maintenance), infrastructure (new build) and automotive & transportation among others.

Gratomic’s CO-CEO Arno Brand stated, “The successful start-up of our Aukam processing plant is a major milestone for the Company, one that allows us to begin feeding concentrate to Perpetuus for the manufacturing of graphenes for use as a material enhancing filler within tire elastomers.”

The Aukam processing plant uses a simple crushing, grinding and flotation system with a current capacity of 600 tonnes per annum. Construction is already underway for the installation of a larger mill with a 10,000 tonne per annum capacity.

Graphite Feed for the Aukam processing plant is obtained from screening and sorting of stockpiles existing from historical and recent mining. An average feed grade of 56.29% Cg with a range of 41.55% Cg to 63.87% Cg was determined from ten, 2kg to 30kg, grab samples from across the stockpiled lumps (see June 3, 2016 and July 12, 2016 news releases). Note that assays of grab samples should not be taken as representative of the mineralization on the Aukam property as a whole.

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:23 AM on Monday, April 23rd, 2018

 

  • Letter of collaboration with Perpetuus Carbon Technologies Limited
  • GRAT and Perpetuus to develop and market material enhancing graphite derived graphenes and graphene hybrids for tire elastomers
  • GRAT will purchase, and retain ownership, of three specialized process tooling chambers at an aggregate cost of 300,000 British Pounds

 

Gratomic Inc., is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a letter of collaboration (“Agreement”) with Perpetuus Carbon Technologies Limited (“Perpetuus”) pursuant to which GRAT and Perpetuus will develop and market material enhancing graphite derived graphenes and graphene hybrids for tire elastomers, whilst also exploring options to exploit polymer composites, energy capture and storage applications markets (“Project”).

The Agreement contemplates the first Phase of the Project (“Phase 1”), with the other phases to be described in a joint venture agreement to be entered into between GRAT and Perpetuus.

Pursuant to the Agreement, and as part of Phase 1, GRAT will purchase, and retain ownership, of three specialised process tooling chambers at an aggregate cost of 300,000 British Pounds. These specialized tooling chambers will be housed in Perpetuus’ existing facility in the United Kingdom. In addition to housing the specialized tooling chambers Perpetuus will contribute its Patented Project specific intellectual property, designed perfected and engineered by Perpetuus. In addition Perpetuus will also manage and maintain the specialized tooling chambers.

The Agreement contemplates the supply of Graphite from the Aukam Graphite mine in Namibia.

GRAT and Perpetuus will share equally all proceeds of sales after deductions of operating costs and Product purchasing costs.

Gratomic’s Chairman and CO-CEO Sheldon Inwentash stated:

“I am extremely pleased to announce that the Gratomic Perpetuus agreement completes the first stage of the Gratomic strategic plan to establish the first vertically integrated Graphite to Graphene to mass market product.”

Ian Walters Director – Perpetuus Carbon Technologies Limited stated:

“On road trials in the UK it has been duly established that the extra ordinary properties of the Gratomic Aukam Graphite derived graphenes provide enhancing properties for tire elastomer tread formulations. These conclusions are scientifically evidenced and duly recorded by the fact that the graphene enhanced tire tread significantly out performs a comparative size but more expensive premier branded Tire. We can only conclude that the Gratomic Tire due to be launched later this year is well placed to revolutionise the commercial Tire market and establish the first Graphite mine to commercial exploitation “vertical” for graphenes derived from mined graphite.”

The Corporation would also like to provide an update on the proposed spin-off of FOX-TEK. The Corporation has received several unsolicited offers from arm’s length third parties pertaining to the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding securities in the capital of FOX-TEK. As such, the Corporation has decided to suspend the proposed spin-off as that it may evaluate these offers. The Corporation continues to work with its financial and legal advisers to ascertain the best course of action for both the Corporation and its shareholders. The Corporation will continue to provide updates as they become available.

$GLI.ca Glacier Lake Completes Phase 1 Drill Program at Silver Vista $IVN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 10:10 AM on Monday, March 26th, 2018

  • Initial drill program focused on the “MR” area, a clastic sediment-hosted, fine-grained, disseminated copper-silver zone
  • Seven (7) holes, totaling 1,273 metres were completed
  • 2 deeper holes (average depth 282.4 meters) drilled southeast to northwest
  • 5 shallower holes with an average depth (142.0 meters) drilled northwest to southeast

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glacier Lake Resources Inc. (TSX-V:GLI) (“Glacier” or the “Company”) has completed the Phase 1 diamond drill program on its Silver Vista property near Smithers, British Columbia. This initial drill program was focused on the main “MR” showing, a clastic sediment-hosted, fine-grained, disseminated copper-silver zone. The core for Hole SV18-01 has been sent to the ALS Minerals laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C. with results to be released once received and reviewed.

Seven (7) holes, totaling 1,273 metres were completed. Glacier’s program represents the first drilling on the Silver Vista property since the 1991-1992 Equity Silver Mines Ltd. (a division of Placer Dome Inc., now Barrick Gold Corp.) program of 14 holes, totaling 1,252.5 metres.  The 2018 program comprised two deeper holes (average depth 282.4 meters) drilled southeast to northwest and five shallower holes (average depth (142.0 meters) drilled northwest to southeast, testing mineralization in the historic Equity drill holes, and/or soil and rock Ag and Cu surface geochemistry from the 2011 to 2013 Amarc Resources Ltd., surface programs.

The drilling indicates a moderate, north to northwest dip to the sedimentary units. Visible mineralization is not obvious, so Glacier employed a portable XRF unit to aid in identification of mineralized zones to assist in drilling of subsequent holes. Elevated levels of silver, copper and zinc were noted in multiple horizons within the drill holes.  Glacier Lake cautions investors the XRF readings were used only to direct subsequent drilling and only analyses from the North Vancouver ALS Minerals laboratory will be reported and relied on by the Company.

Upon receipt and review of the assay data from the 2018 drill program, Company geologists will plan and budget a surface program to start after spring break-up. While the main “MR” road-cut showing is the most advanced target, Amarc 2011 to 2013 soil geochemistry outlined an area of anomalous Ag and Cu approximately 1.5 kilometres by 2.0 kilometres around the MR prospect area. This area had multiple Ag and Cu soil geochemical anomalies also defined.

Further details can be found in the 43-101 report on the property located under the Company’s SEDAR profile.

Quality assurance/quality control

The entire length of core for each of the 7 drill holes are currently being sawn and sampled at continuous 1.0 metre intervals, with occasional shorter or longer intervals based on apparent wall rock and mineralization contact. Supervision, organization and splitting of drilling core samples are undertaken by personnel from geological consultant Mammoth Geological Ltd. Half of the core will be securely shipped to the laboratory for analysis and the other half retained in a secure storage location. Certified reference standards and blanks will be placed in the sample stream of each drill hole alternating at every 25th interval. Samples were packed into rice bags, zap-strapped and securely stored until they were turned over to the local trucking company for transport to the ALS Minerals Laboratory in North Vancouver, B.C.

All core samples will be analyzed utilizing ALS’s MEICP-61 procedure, a four-acid digestion of a one-gram sample with an ICP finish. Samples with over limit copper or silver values will receive an ME-OG62 analysis, a four-acid digestion of a 0.5-gram sample with ICP-AES finish.

A routine quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) procedure is adopted to monitor the analytical quality at the lab. Certified reference materials (CRMs), pulp duplicates and blanks are inserted into each lab batch of samples. QA/QC data at the lab are attached to the assay certificates for each batch of samples.

Further details can be found in the recently completed 43-101 report on the property located under the Company’s SEDAR profile.

The Company also wishes to clarify the finders’ fees which were paid in connection with completion of its private placement of units announced on March 19, 2018.  In connection with closing of the placement, the Company paid cash commissions of $31,807.20, issued 258,920 common share purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”), and 259,200 finders’ options (each, a “Finders’ Option”).  Each “Warrant” entitles the holder to acquire a common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 for a period of twenty-four months, subject to accelerated expiry in the event the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is $0.25 or higher for ten consecutive trading days.  Each “Finders’ Option” entitles the holder to acquire a unit of the Company consisting of one common share and one Warrant, at a price of $0.06 for a period of twenty-four months.

All Warrants and Finders’ Options issued in connection with the placement are subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period.

Subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company will grant 500,000 incentive stock options to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company. The options vest immediately and are exercisable at a price of $0.09 per share for a period of 5 years.

FEATURE: $AAO.ca Why Augusta Industries is an under valued company

Posted by AGORACOM at 1:43 PM on Thursday, March 15th, 2018

 

 

Augusta Industries Subsidiary FOX-TEK Canada Inc is a rare Gem of a tech company where its technology, potential and capabilities are undervalued and therefore discounted. Investors don’t seem to appreciate that FOX TEK is making great strides with its available resources while developing industry disruptive technology capable of meeting current value expectations. The patient investor understands and values a company that is creating new and disruptive technological tools

Sales and revenue evaluation of a company is great when you are invested in GE, FORD, GM, IBM and Apple, but the real value missed here by a few shareholders is what FOX-TEK’s engineers are able to create. FOX TEK first started with the FT Systems as its sole technology and below is living proof of what FOX-TEK has been able to create.

1) Electric Field Mapping (EFM) Corrosion monitor

Used predominately to measure, with great accuracy, the material loss in pipelines and vessels due to corrosion/erosion. The technology has been successfully used as a validation of existing integrity programs. The technology can also be used in research and material testing applications.

2) Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) System

Technology based on optical strain sensors. These sensors are inherently safe (due to the fact that the sensors are powered by light) and easy to use. Due to the high bandwidth of the sensors, they can also be used to measure vibrations. There many applications in both the oil & gas sector and civil infrastructure where these sensors can bring a benefit.

3) FG-OD

Novel non intrusive leak detection technology used to detect leaks in pipelines and vessels. Due to its high sensitivity, the sensor cable can also detect VOC due to leaks.  By using smart detection levels and adapting to its environment, this technology will generate zero false alarms.

4) Advanced Sensor Design

Advanced intrusive optical sensor that will, over time, change its optical characteristics when in the presence of various elements. Can be used in applications where specific trace elements can lead to a negative impact on normal operating conditions.

5) Currently as per FOX-TEK’s last Press release, working to develop a new technology to measure the ingress of damaging liquids under insulation/coating. This LOI is indicative of the confidence major parties involved have in the burgeoning technology, be it Federal, Provincial Academic or Business.

$AAO.ca Augusta Industries Subsidiary Paragon Blockchain Enters Into An MOU with One of the Worlds’ First Big Data Enterprise Blockchain Application Developer

Posted by AGORACOM at 8:30 AM on Thursday, March 8th, 2018

  • Entered  a Memorandum Of Understanding with an Undisclosed Blockchain Company (The “UBC”) to advise and develop a new set of blockchain applications for Augusta.
  • Blockchain technology has the potential to unlock substantial new opportunities capable of impacting the business of Marcon International
  • Implementing blockchain technology in FOX-TEK

Toronto, Ontario–(March 8, 2018) – Augusta Industries Inc. (TSXV: AAO) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that pursuant to its press release of January 25th, in which the Company announced the creation of a wholly owned subsidiary (Paragon Blockchain Inc.) to commence the process of implementing Blockchain technology, Paragon Blockchain has entered into a Memorandum Of Understanding with an Undisclosed Blockchain Company (The “UBC”) to advise and develop a new set of blockchain applications for Augusta.

BLOCKCHAIN APPLICATIONS TO INCLUDE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

The UBC is one of the worlds’ first developers of a hybrid permission based blockchain protocol with big data capability. The UBC will act as technical advisor and initiate the process of developing a new set of blockchain applications that will integrate, amongst other things, artificial intelligence (A.I.) for the purpose of sorting critical procurement opportunities within US government agencies for Augusta’s wholly owned subsidiary, Marcon International Inc. (“Marcon”).

IMPLEMENTING BLOCKCHAIN IN MARCON

Blockchain technology has the potential to unlock substantial new opportunities capable of impacting the business of Marcon International. Specifically, Marcon seeks to create an eco-system (Paragon Blockchain) in the supply chain management of clients to change the dynamics of the scoping and bidding process by providing vendors and subcontractors with A.I. data mining tools to proactively drive the process. By doing so, Paragon Blockchain becomes a Value added Network, in which vendors and subcontractors provide offers on projects of immediate interest, as opposed to the current role of Marcon selecting projects of interest.

Users will be required to access Paragon Blockchain and make payments through the use of a digital currency or tokens.

IMPLEMENTING BLOCKCHAIN IN FOX-TEK

Blockchain technology is of critical importance to our wholly owned subsidiary, FOX-TEK Canada Inc. (“FOX-TEK”), continued expansion of its’ non-intrusive technology in the oil & gas industry, whose clients include many of the biggest companies in the world. FOX-TEK believes a common system of record connecting data collected for events is of paramount importance to clients.

The Company will create a platform that will allow for the analysis of data that incorporates an auditing system built for regulatory and quality assurance oversight. The platform will implement a distributed blockchain ledger using smart contracts. These smart contracts provide customization of blockchain data.

Upon completion, the Company intends to invite other technology companies to participate and utilize its’ blockchain. These companies will be involved in industries serving pipeline operations, integrity, maintenance and construction, as well as, Federal, Provincial and State regulators. By participating in the Company’s Blockchain, these entities will have access to surveillance, auditing, integrity, transparent data in cases of breaches in corrosion or leaks or cracks.

FOX-TEK will naturally be the first service provider to participate. DMAT servers currently hosts DMAT client at 15 GB live running DMAT web server : 5GB live and DMAT raw data :15 GB.

Blockchain serves as the next technological revolution for storing and sharing distributed data from multiple input sources. This will provide the Company with the capability to transfer any digital data between multiple participants in a secure and auditable fashion.

About the Corporation:

Through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Marcon International Inc. (“Marcon”) and FOX-TEK, the Corporation provides a variety of services and products to a number of clients.

Marcon is an industrial supply contractor servicing the energy sector and a number of US Government entities. Marcon’s principal business is the sale and distribution of industrial parts and equipment.

FOX-TEK provides world leading solutions to various sectors including the oil and gas industry. With non- intrusive technologies including: fiber optic sensors and electric field mapping systems; FOX-TEK is able to accurately measure changes that could negatively impact our client’s operations.
