VIDEO – Draganfly Has Record Revenue, Tier-1 Clients and Recent NASDAQ Listing

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:19 PM on Monday, August 9th, 2021

Most of us know drones for their recreational uses or perhaps even as simple commercial applications for things like real estate videos. 

But the fact of the matter is that drone usage is about to go parabolic with huge corporations adopting them for a wide-use of applications that most never dreamed of such as:

  • To provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • To collect crowd data.

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones themselves (hardware) to drone technology and solutions (software)… and the one company that is delivering the most challenging applications is Draganfly Inc. (DPRO: NASDAQ) (DPRO: CSE)

DraganFly is an award-winning drone manufacturer and technology developer that is actually delivering some pretty incredible achievements, milestones and even history:

  • Established in 1998 DFLY is considered the oldest commercial drone company in the world
  • Built the first drone that saved a life
  • Boasts the first drone to be inducted into the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
  • Developing a Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)
  • Detect infectious conditions in a person from a distance of 190 feet
  • Conduct phenotyping, data collection and analysis by the USDA

Clients include:

  • NASCAR
  • Ford
  • Warner Brothers
  • Suncor Energy
  • Shell
  • Redbull
  • Government of Canada 
  • Ontario Provincial Police, 
  • Australian Federal Police, 
  • Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 
  • Illinois State Police,
  • Shell
  • Dow 

If you want ultra-cool consider that DFLY’s Vital Intelligence technology was selected for implementation by Knightscope, a leader in a leader in autonomous robot security capabilities.  

All of this has translated into financial success with 2020 Revenue hitting $4.36M up 216% … and now a record Q1 with $1.53M up 210%.

With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why the company recently uplisted to the NASDAQ.

If you believe in the massive parabolic growth in the use of drones for almost everything we do in this world, or want to learn, then watch / listen to this powerful interview with Draganfly CEO and Chairman, Cameron Chell.

VIDEO – HPQ Silicon Producing First Samples On Nano Silicon Material Is A Milestone “Equivalent To First Successful Landing Of SpaceX Falcon Rocket”

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:28 PM on Thursday, August 5th, 2021

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing high value-added silicon products that are sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers – but nobody has yet delivered – until now.  

If that sounds a lot like what other small companies are saying lately, $HPQ differentiates itself as a leader of the pack thanks to the following:

Earlier today the Company took a major step forward when $HPQ announced it successfully produced the first batch samples of Nano Silicon Materials.  

To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:

” The HPQ NANO team is now more confident than ever that the PUREVAPTM NSiR will be able to deliver, at scale, and on-demand, a nano silicon for anode production that will be cost competitive. The validation announced today …. was the big breakthrough we were looking for”

Peter Pascali, President and CEO of technology partner PyroGenesis added a little more excitement when he stated:

Words cannot adequately describe the excitement at PyroGenesis at potentially being able to address and solve challenges in developing lithium-ion batteries, which are sought after by many industries but specifically the EV market.”

Using an analogy to describe the importance of this milestone, $HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon stated it was equivalent to the first SpaceX successful landing of its Falcon rocket.  Specifically, though he was confident in their ability to produce Nano Silicon, actually producing it now removes all doubt and the Company can now focus on:

“… Subsequent batches will be delivered to the awaiting automobile manufacturers plus numerous other entities that have demonstrated an interest in receiving samples.

VIDEO – HPQ Silicon Ability To Create Cleanest Fumed Silica Has Company Already Fielding Calls From Silicon Players Around The World

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:53 PM on Tuesday, July 6th, 2021

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing a portfolio of high value-added silicon products sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers.

If that sounds a lot like what other small companies are saying lately, $HPQ differentiates itself as a leader of the pack thanks to the following:

Recently, the Company announced a major milestone with this press release HPQ Silicon GEN3 PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Pilot Plant to be Commissioned in Q4 2021

To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:

” Demand for higher purity Silicon, materials that the PUREVAP QRR was designed to produce – but one that traditional silicon producers have a difficult time making, is about to enter a massive growth phase, driven by worldwide demand from the silicones, solar, and batteries industries. The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the closing of old inefficient traditional Silicon plants and combining this with the chronic under investment in new conventional Silicon plants that occurred in the past decade, and the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly processes has created a perfect storm for the industry. HPQ should be a key beneficiary of this new reality.”

Today, thanks to HPQ’s great progress on its silicon mission, the Company announced  “An Agreement to Develop a New Environmentally Friendly Process to Manufacture Fumed Silica”
What is Fumed Silica?  Suffice it to say, it is in heavy demand right now but current producers are going to run into strong environmental “ESG” headwinds as the industry is now moving towards clean and verified Fumed Silica that HPQ Silicon believes it will be able to deliver thanks to its powerful relationship with ESG driven PyroGenesis Canada. The market for Fumed Silica is set to hit $USD 2.2 Billion in 2022 and CEO Tourillon wasn’t shy about his confidence in the Company’s potential to win market share with this quote:

““The business opportunity that this represent should not be underestimated and could be as significant as the ones represented by the PUREVAP™ family of processes we are developing with PyroGenesis”

VIDEO – With 2020 Audit Complete, Empower Clinics CEO Steve McAuley Sees Big Growth For Operations, US Expansion, Market Cap & Uplisting

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 6:17 PM on Monday, July 5th, 2021

With $US 3.2M in 2020 revenue, representing a 58% increase over the previous year, you would think Empower Clinics CEO Steve McAuley would use his first interview after the filing to celebrate. 

He isn’t. 

Rather, with Fiscal 2020 having come to end more than 6 months ago, the 2020 results are a distant rear view mirror shot of a Company that is in full-blown growth mode and can be best summarized as follows: 

“Multiple opportunities have been percolating and I’m going to turn up the heat” 

To this end McAuley sees a “substantially higher market cap” for the Company, as well as, growth that will be “deserving of an uplist”. 

We could try to list all the powerful things he had to say in this interview – but best we let you watch/hear it straight from Steve in this amazing interview. 

VIDEO – Valeo Pharma (VPH:CSE) Reported Record Q2 Revenue of $2.65M, CEO Expects Q3 To Increase More Than 50%

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:23 PM on Monday, July 5th, 2021

Valeo Pharma is already a successful, revenue generating, small cap Canadian pharmaceutical company that acquires the Canadian rights to commercialized drugs in other parts of the world that don’t have Canada on their radar as a target market.

This “in-license” business model is ingenious because it means ZERO developmental or clinical risk, which is the downfall of most small cap pharma companies. 

The smile on CEO Steve Saviuk says it all. The company recently released Q2 results and highlights:

  • Q2-21 record revenues of $2.65 million, up 27% vs Q2-20 and up 42% over prior quarter
  • Q3-21 revenues expected to increase by more than 50% over Q2-21
  • Redesca (blood thinner) launched in late Q2-21
  • Commercial shipments of the company’s asthma drugs commenced following national respiratory sales force deployment
  • Closed upsized $6.645 million debenture placement
  • Closed $11.5 million bought deal

As you can see above, Valeo is hitting on all cylinders with tremendous revenue growth from new great drugs hitting the Canadian markets as we speak. As a result, the company estimates annual revenue of $160M by 2025.

Now sit back, relax and watch this powerful interview with Steve Saviuk CEO of Valeo Pharma.
