While Nanoscale Structure Silicon Powders improve Li-ion battery
performance, high performance Silicon anodes are not presently
commercially feasible due to high manufacturing costs. Specifically,
two major issues have been identified as major impediments to commercial
feasibility;
1. The cost of the high purity Silicon feed material needed
2. The cost of transforming Silicon into Nanoscale Structure Silicon Powders for Li-ion batteries
HPQ Silicon and Pyrogenesis might have the solution…
Combining the HPQ PUREVAP™Quartz Reduction Reactor
technology with PyroGenesis Plasma Atomization knowhow to manufacture
Nanoscale Structure Silicon powders, could potentially resolve these 2
issues and lead the way to full commercialization of Nanoscale Structure
Silicon Powders. If successful, that should subsequently lead to their
wide scale adoption in the battery space.
If this occurs it would go without saying, HPQ and PyroGenesis would be well positioned to assume a market leading role.

There is a lot we could say about American Creek’s Treaty Creek Project … But we’ll let the words of 4 much smarter and wealthier people do all the talking:
Walter Storm, CEO Tudor Gold (JV Partner; Funded Startup Of Osisko Mining Until Sold For $4.5 Billion)
“The Goldstorm (System On Treaty Creek) now has the attention of several major industry players and we expect that future results will continue to impress as we further define this potential world-class deposit“.”
Eric Sprott, Billionaire Investor and 2X PP Investor In American Creek Resources
“What we’re shooting for is to define a 10 or 20-million-ounce discovery“
Ken Konkin , Tudor Gold Exploration Manager (Credited With Discovering Brucejack Mine Just South Of Treaty Creek)
“The
Goldstorm System shows no signs of weakening to the northeast and
several more drill holes will be needed to find the length and depth of
this huge gold system.“ “2020 is going to be a breakout year.” Darren Blaney, President & CEO American Creek Resources
“Ken Konkin, the geologist credited for the discovery and development of Pretium’s neighbouring Brucejack Mine is advancing the Goldstorm zone to potentially becoming a world-class deposit with far better logistics than the neighbouring KSM deposits.”
“Clearly, we have a massive, world-class gold system that still shows no signs of weakening to the northeast nor at depth.”
To find out why world renowned gold mine finders are so bullish on Treaty Creek, grab your favourite beverage, grab a seat and watch this interview with American Creek Resources.

If you are a small cap CEO, Director or Investor Relations Officer in North America, my 23 minute interview with James Black of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) is the most important podcast you will listen to in 2019. Not because I am the guest but because of what I have to say.
Why does what I say matter? AGORACOM surpassed 600 million page views this year, we’re averaging over 4.5M views per month on Twitter and we’ve served over 300 clients. As such, the powerful information in this podcast comes from a deep understanding of both social media, why small cap companies are failing at it and what the serious implications are of that failure.
Make no mistake about it, this isn’t some generic social media discussion. James and I go deep and I hit hard because that is what good friends do. I’m sounding the alarm because of the massive implications if I don’t.
The good news is that, if you are not an AGORACOM client, you can turn this ship around but you have to do it now and that can only be done by understanding why small caps are failing today.
I suggest that your entire management team listens to it and discusses it. Then let’s have a call to discuss what can be done.
The beauty of this audio format is you can listen to it at work or in your car / subway to and from work. I’ve done the hard work presenting this powerful information, all you have to do is press play.
Thank-you and I look forward to discussing this with you and potentially working together in 2020. Our cashless and fully compliant shares for services program should make the decision an easy one.

Empower Clinics JV Could Generate $US 30,000,000 In Annual Revenue From CBD Extraction … But It Doesn’t End There
With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for. Add in the fact it is now on a ~ $USD 4,000,000 annualized revenue run rate for 2019 and it becomes the kind of company small cap investors have been dying to find as they watch pretender companies melt away.
But it doesn’t end there.
The Company’s latest Q3 financials show that Empower is in full growth mode, with substantial increases in revenue and patient visits, as well as, big reductions in expenses. Moreover, Company CEO Steven McAuley says growth will continue full steam ahead in Q4, Q1 and beyond.
But it doesn’t end there.Â
CBD extraction has been a key element of the company’s vertical integration. Producing its’ own hemp-derived CBD products for its own massive patient list just makes sense. However, thanks to an LOI (moving towards definitive agreement) to JV with extraction experts Heritage Cannabis, the Company’s 5,000 sq ft facility in Oregon is also planning to serve big brand 3rd party partners in the USA . Empower brings the infrastructure, Heritage brings the expertise and balance sheet. The result is a match made in shareholder heaven with initial annual capacity of 6,000 Kg at ~ $US 5,000 per Kg, which adds up to $US 30,000,000 in potential revenue.
We emphasize potential  because nobody has started selling anything yet but the facility is expected to begin producing soon. However, with a built in patient database and talks already having commenced for white label products, Empower is on its way. Moreover, “potential” cuts both ways, with capacity capable of increasing 2x – 3x without much trouble given the size of the facility. Â
Can Empower successfully execute its extraction plan? It’s a legitimate question, with a blow away answer.. The Company’s new CEO, Steven McAuley, who replaced the previous management team in January, is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which also explains how McAuley has brought Empower to such heights in just 11 months.
The cannabis market is currently throwing away babies with the bathwater – but just as the dot-com crash brought us massive riches through Web 2.0 companies that were REAL, investors need to start looking for the REAL companies that will survive and thrive. With 165,000 patients, rapidly increasing revenues, a franchise plan to grow clinics across America and a vertical integration CBD extraction strategy to tie them all together, Empower Clinics may be such a company. Â
Grab your favourite beverage and settle in to watch what may be your next great small cap investment.

ZEN Graphene Solutions (ZEN:TSXV) and its partner “DLR” (The German Aerospace Center) reported more good news pertaining to their battery development program.
The results were very technical in nature but CEO Francis Dube sat down with AGORACOM to explain their meaning in layman’s terms, as well as, how good these results are relative to tests by other companies. Hint – they’re better by a wide margin.
The results were so good that DLR applied for and received federal funding to create a new Innovation Lab (the Center for Aerogels) to work with industrial partners on the development of Aerogels and other graphene-based products.
This is a significant interview and well worth the time to watch it.

The headline pretty much says it all. Though HPQ has stated the
discussions are preliminary, this doesn’t hide the fact that HPQ has
moved incredibly fast from deciding to use its world-changing silicon
manufacturing process to enter the battery market.
It was only back on August 19th when Company CEO, Bernard Tourillon,
stated HPQ would “start meeting with end users” but few would have
expected NDA based discussions with a Li-ion battery manufacturer so
soon. Ironically, Tourillon says he expected something like this
“sooner” … now that is confidence.
In a small cap market full of companies claiming the holy grail of
supplying the battery market, it wasn’t hard to understand why investors
may have dismissed the Company’s OCT 31 statement that “HPQ fully
intends to use its Gen3 to produce and market silicon materials for
batteries”.
With discussions under NDA now started with a battery manufacturer,
HPQ has now set itself far apart from the pack and has earned the right
to be taken very seriously. Investors who have been waiting for ANY
company to move from theoretical to the actual boardroom, HPQ offers a
very compelling story.

When the Wall Street Journal calls your Gold Report “The Gold Standard Of Gold Research”, it is safe to say you are a global influencer and expert in all things gold.
This is Ronnie Stoeferle, whose “In Gold We Trust” report has also been downloaded 1.8 million times in English, German and Mandarin in case anyone had any doubt as to his expertise.
Today, Ronnie became the founding member of the Affinity Metals (AFF:TSXV) Advisory Board, which implies that we can expect others to be appointed as well. Why would Ronnie join a company with a market cap under $5,000,000? You’ll have to watch the interview to find out … but here are a couple of hints:
1. Affinity Metals flagship project, the Regal, has reported HISTORICAL reserves of 590,703 tonnes grading 71.6 grams per tonne silver, 2.66 per cent lead, 1.26 per cent zinc, 1.1 per cent copper, 0.13 per cent tin and 0.015 per cent tungsten. These were prepated prior to 43-101 standards and should not be relied upon until they are brought into compliance with 43-101 standards.
2. A Technical Report, which was prepared in 1971 using a silver price of $1.75 per troy ounce, makes a positive recommendation for production, including the establishment of a 500 ton per day concentrator with a 400 ton per day silver, lead and zinc circuit and a 100 ton per day tin, tungsten and copper circuit.
These are just 2 factors that led Ronnie to declare that Affnity Metals is “one of the largest investments in my private portfolio”.
Grab your favourite beverage, kick back and watch this great interview with both Ronnie and Affinity CEO, Rob Edwards.

HPQ Silicon makes its strongest case ever for the lead it has taken in the commercialization of its’
Solar grade silicon;
Silicon wafers for Li-ion batteries
High purity silicon for high value niche applications;
Metallurgical grade silicon at prices the industry has never seen before;
More than just lip service that we have typically come to expect from 98% of small cap companies, the Company’s pilot plant is about to go live and produce test samples of silicon wafers for batteries and is supported by not 1 but 2 (TWO) world class technology partners that validate both the HPQ process and commercialization plan.
This is a powerful presentation that is worthy of your time to watch and learn about the rise of HPQ Silicon.

In less than 18 months, Francis Dube and his team took over management of ZEN Graphene Solutions (ZEN:TSXV) and accelerated it from stuck in the mud to on the brink of commercializing graphene for real world applications. That’s right. ZEN believes it will begin selling small quantities but extremely high priced graphene to Q1 2020, including Graphene Quantum Dots that sell for outrageous $$ / gram … PER GRAM … let alone Kilograms.
How much? Watch the interview where you will also hear about the company’s new graphene R&D + small-scale graphene processing and production facility in Guelph, Ontario. Moreover, you’ll hear about the Company’s success in producing graphene oxide while reducing chemical consumption by up to 100X compared to current methods, as well as, reducing the price of production.
If you’ve been waiting years for graphene production to become a reality … who hasn’t … your wait looks like it’s about to come to end and the good times are about to begin.
Grab your favourite beverage, watch this powerful interview and then spread the word.
