When we call Peter Pascali, CEO of PyroGenesis, the Elon Musk of Canada, we’re not joking. Peter and his team have developed commercially successful, super high-tech products that are being purchased and evaluated by the world’s biggest customers. Specifically:
Thier plasma arc waste destruction system has been installed on 2 (TWO) US Aircraft Carriers, with more orders expected in 2018
Their plasma arc chemical warfare agents destruction system was successfully tested by DARPA in destroying simulated chemical warfare agents
Multiple NDA’s have been signed with global aircraft engine manufacturers for their 3D printing powders (AKA additive manufacturing)
The Company just announced an exclusive agreement in Asia for the minimum sale of 10,000kg of Titanium Powders for additive manufacturing
The Company just announced successful testing of their Drosrite System (waste metal recovery) in India and received a paid demonstration order from a second Indian company, with the potential of 16 systems for both companies.
The Drosrite demonstration unit is in such high demand overseas that a second one is now being built for North America.
The company is in advanced stage development of a solar grade silicon metal that will potentially transform the solar industry by reducing operating costs, capex costs and carbon emisssions by more than 90%.
If you’re keeping score, that is Elon Musk style commercial success in the following areas:
Plasma arc waste destruction for the US military
Plasma arc chemical weapons destruction for the US military
3D powder for global manufacturers
Drosrite waste metal recovery for global manufacturers
Solar grade silicon metal
Might be more accurate to say that Elon Musk is the American Peter Pascali.

This is our second interview with CEO Jesse Dylan in less than a month … and that can only mean one thing… good news is rolling out of GOOD:TSXV.
After setting records with their annual financials for revenue ($9.7M) gross profit ($4.3M) EBITDA ($1.7M) and Net Income ($1.3M), GOOD just announced the acquisition of Impression X for $6M.
What does Impression X do? They’re a leader in connected television advertising or CTV. Sounds good but what is CTV. Glad you asked because we asked Jesse the exact same question … and you are going to love the answer.
In short, “cord cutters” are people that surrender their cable TV subscriptions and head for much cheaper online TV providers such as ROKU, Apple TV 4K, HULU and others. Some will pay a premium subscription to remove all ads … but most do not and someone needs to serve them ads.
Voila Impression X. In case you were wondering this might be a small market, think again because there are over 800 million connected TV’s around the world – and growing. Heck, I’m thinking of putting an end to my cable TV bill madness myself soon.
Bottom line – the connected television market is massive and it’s only starting. GOOD just secured a prime seat at the table.
Grab a coffeee or preferred beverage and watch this interview. GOOD is on its’ way to GREAT. Don’t say I didn’t tell you so.

After working in “stealth mode” over the past 18 months and building on a plan to establish the first vertically integrated Graphite to Graphene to Mass Market Product, Gratomic has emerged with an announcement it will be going into commercial production this year via the “Gratomic Tire“.  This is no small feat. Graphene has been touted as a miracle material, a superhero of modern chemistry. Yet, no small cap company has been able to produce any commercial success from graphene.
That is all about to change according to the following statement by Ian Walters of Perpetuus Carbon Technologies:
“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.”
More than just lip service, Perpetuus has over 500 customers testing their graphenes and has tested every graphite in the world. Graphene derived from Gratomics’ Aukam Graphite Mine in Namibia has beat them all.
In his first interview ever as Gratomic Chairman, Sheldon Inwentash discusses why the global tire market is the first mass market product to evolve from its’ partnership with Perpetuus and how big of an opportunity it represents. In short, “this is where the rubber hits the road”.
