VIDEO – After Record Q3 and YTD Results, Datametrex $DM.ca $DTMXF Starts 2021 With 23,000 #COVID Test Sales To Film Industry For ~ $4M $PFM.ca $VQS.ca $SPOT.ca $ADK.ca

Datamerex (DM:TSXV) has the rare benefit that most small cap companies would only dream of …. 2 successful independent divisions that are each capable of being a company maker. 

The first division is their Artificial Intelligence driven social media monitoring and discovery product … and this isn’t some basic social media monitoring tool for keywords. Clients include Canadian Federal Government, DRDC, Health Canada, United States Air Force and LOTTE (a $2.6B South Korean multinational conglomerate.

As a result of the highest level security clearances required to do this level of work, Datametrex was well positioned with deep roots in South Korea to add their second, though unintended division of COVID-19 test kit distribution.  Again, this isn’t some small cap stretch trying to capitalize on a trend for the sake of stock promotion. Rather, when the Canadian Government came calling for assistance in importing and distributing COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex stepped up to the task thanks to its security clearances already in place in both countries.

Since then, the company has signed multiple multi-million dollar COVID-19 test kit supply agreements with mining companies, a $20M CAD agreement with the television and film industry and various educational institutions.  

As a result, Datametrex has had its’ best year ever in the first 3 quarters of 2020 as follows:

  • Record revenue of $7.6 million for the nine-month 2020 period compared to $2.6 in 2019
  • Record revenue of $4.9 million was generated in Q3
  • First ever positive EBIDTA quarter

If that wasn’t enough, they started off 2021 by announcing the following:

  • Sold over 23,000 onsite tests for the film industry at locations in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver for the months of October through December 2020. This represents approximately $4,000,000 CAD in top-line revenue for Q4
  • Datametrex Providing COVID-19 Testing for Air Canada Front-Line and Inflight Employees
  • Binding LOI to acquire 100% of Concierge Medical Consultant Inc. a private telehealth and medical concierge services company currently generating revenue through a direct-to-consumer subscription model

Watch this powerful interview with CEO Marshall Gunter to discuss the year that was … and why he’s so optimistic about 2021.

3 Days After #Draganfly $DFLY.ca $DFLYF CEO Cam Chell Says “I’ll Build The Company Into One of The Top Three Drone Companies”, Company Announces #NASDAQ Intentions $FLT.ca $UAVS $ALPP

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:04 AM on Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Most of us know drones as cool toys flying around the neighbourhood, 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 now testing ways to:

  • Use drones to provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • Use drones to collect crowd data.
  • ….. And there’s even a start-up that’s using drones to deliver tacos to your door.

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones (hardware) to data … and one company is already ahead of the shift … DraganFly (DFLY: CSE) (DFLYF:OTCQB) (3U8:FSE)

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:

  •  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 

Most recently, DFLY’s Vital Intelligence technology was selected for implementation by Knightscope, a leader in a leader in autonomous robot security capabilities.  

With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why CEO Chell believes DFLY will become one of the top 3 drone companies in the world and why they have now begun the process of listing on NASDAQ.

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

2020 was a disappointing one for the once euphoric cannabis industry thanks to the fallout of over-hyped and over-financed companies that failed to deliver on a fraction of their promises.  

The year 2000 saw the exact same thing happen to “dot-com” companies that failed in even more spectacular fashion.  Many investors swore off internet stocks forever.  The smart ones waited to see which companies were real … and the rest was history as we saw the birth and growth of internet companies that delivered real value, products and customers.    

The same is about to happen in the Cannabis space in 2021.  With the market estimated to hit $70 Billion over the next few years, there is very little doubt that winners will be created out of companies delivering real businesses  

Enter Innocan Pharma Corporation (INNO:CSE) (IP4: FSE) and it’s incredible team of accomplished scientists led by CEO Iris Bincovich.   

With Distribution and Manufacturing Agreements already in place for Both Europe and USA, $INNO is now on the verge of Commercializing It’s Clinically Proven CBD Products around the world in 2021.

As a Cannabis investor, why limit yourself to a Company with just one specialty, when InnoCan offers you exposure to both the exploding world of cannabis pharma, as well as, a portfolio of patent-pending and launch ready consumer health products.  

If you believe in the future of the cannabis industry and companies delivering real, value-add CBD products, then watch this interview with Innocan CEO, Iris Bincovich.

Both KABN North America (KABN:CSE) and ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB)  are incredibly disruptive and on the cusp of unstoppable trends, which makes them both explosive but also so new that investors still need to wrap their minds around each of them, let alone both of them together.  The good news is that CEO’s from both companies (David Lucatch KABN and Alen Paul Silverrstieen ImagineAR) have sat down with us to explain why their combination is the way all of us will be controlling and profiting from our online identities in the near future.

Before watching the video, here is a little about what you need to know about each company.

KABN – Solves the major problem around our online identities and data. Through Liquid Avatar they provide each one of us with the power to manage and monetize our digital identity, which is an unstoppable trend as both a natural evolution of the web, as well as, legislation forcing big platforms to no longer share and profit from our personal online data.

IMAGINEAR – As the name implies, ImagineAR is an Augmented Reality Company that enables businesses to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience.  AR is also an unstoppable trend – but don’t take our word for it.

Apple CEO Tim Cook stated “AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”

The AR market is expected to grow to $200 Billion by 2025 from just $3.5 billion in 2017. .

Now you know why the combination of these two companies is so powerful and well worth your while to watch, listen and learn about what they are going to do.  The future is coming, so you might as well see it coming first.

  • Growing body of research suggests Hesperidin may interfere with SARS-CoV-2 infection process
  • Hesperidin may help against Covid-19 viral replication
  • Hesperidin is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory activity that may help in controlling cytokine storm

MONTREAL , Jan. 12, 2021 – Valeo Pharma Inc . (CSE: VPH) (OTCQB: VPHIF) (FSE: VP2) (” Valeo ” or the ” Company “), a Canadian pharmaceutical company, provided comments today on a recently issued newsletter by MDBriefCase entitled “Exploring Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Covid-19: Hesperidin vs Vitamin C”. The complete newsletter is available at: Read+more+about+the+need+for+novel+approaches+to+SARS-CoV-2_v2.pdf[93].pdf (valeo-hesperco.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com)

According to the newsletter, Hesperidin has recently attracted the attention of researchers, because it binds to key proteins of SARS-CoV-2 1 . This may interfere with viral entry into host cells 4 .

In Wu et. al (2020 ),  the screening of 1066 natural substances with potential antiviral effect, plus 78 antiviral drugs already known in the literature for their binding to SARS-CoV-2 proteins, Hesperidin was the only compound  that could target the binding interface between viral Spike proteins and ACE-2 human receptors 2 .

Hesperidin can also bind to 3CLpro – the main protease responsible for the cleavage of SARS-CoV-2 peptides into functional units for virus replication and packaging within the host cells 1,3 . By doing so, it may help against COVID-19 viral replication 4 .

Kontrol Energy (KNR:CSE) (KNRLF:OTCQB) is the Google NEST of smart building technology, with the Blue Chip client base to prove it.  As such, when COVID-19 started shutting down buildings, arenas and complexes, their announcement the Receipt Of Positive Lab Results for Live COVID-19 Testing was taken very seriously by the investment community, with the stock smashing through to all-time highs and consolidating nicely in the $3.00 range as investors prepares for mass commercialization.

Though some impatient “investors” unrealistically demanded immediate and big sales agreements for the BioCloud unit, priced at $US 12,000 EACH $KNR CEO Paul Ghezzi and his team know that real success comes from building a real foundation – and they did that in a mind boggling 5 months.  We’ve been in the smallcap business long enough to know that pulling off the following in 4 months is damn near impossible, until now:

DISTRIBUTION – On December 1, 2020 KNR announced Entering into Exclusive Distribution Agreement with United Safety and Survivability Corporation for BioCloud Technology Distribution in North America, Australia and New Zealand. The exclusivity applies to the industries defined as buses, rail and locomotive, subways, ambulances, fire trucks, first responder and military vehicles, with applicable associated facilities in the geography of North America , Australia , and New Zealand . The exclusivity period is 12 months with a six month mutual renewal option and is based on 5,000 units of BioCloud per annum, on a best efforts basis, to retain exclusivity. Pricing will not be disclosed for industry competitive purposes. 

In addition, KNR has also entered into two non-exclusive BioCloud distribution agreements covering Ontario and Saskatchewan.

MORE GOVERNMENT FUNDING –  On December 3rd, 2020 the Company announced that it had received an additional $500,000 in research and development funding from the Canadian Federal Government.  This comes after a $50,000 grant earlier this year.  

PATENTS FILED  – On November 30, 2020 KNR announced the filing of 4 patents for the BioCloud technology with 3 patents filed in the USA and 1 patent in Canada .

MANUFACTURING –  KNR has engaged OES Inc. a local design and contract manufacturer in London, Ontario to produce the BioCloud units.  OES Inc. has a long and established history of assisting with the design and manufacturing of complex technology. Initial maximum capacity has been set at 10,000 units per month.
