PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Announces Receipt of Multi-Million Dollar Order for Two DROSRITE™ Furnace Systems $LMT $RTN $NOC $UTX $HPQ.ca $DDD.ca $SSYS $PRLB

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:44 AM on Tuesday, September 18th, 2018

Pyr header 1

  • Received a multi-million dollar order for two DROSRITE™ furnace systems from an Asian client
  • Systems are the third and fourth commercial systems sold to date, and the first order from this new Client
  • Delivery of the Systems is expected to be in April 2019

MONTREAL, Sept. 18, 2018 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR), a TSX Venture 50® high-tech company, (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that it has received a multi-million dollar order for two (2) DROSRITE™ furnace systems (the “Systems”) from an Asian client (the “Client”); the name, and value of the contract, remain confidential for competitive reasons.

The Systems are the third and fourth commercial systems sold to date, and the first order from this new Client. Delivery of the Systems is expected to be in April 2019.

PyroGenesis’ DROSRITE™ system is a salt-free, cost-effective, sustainable process for maximizing metal recovery from dross, a waste generated in the metallurgical industry. PyroGenesis’ patented process avoids costly loss of metal while reducing a smelter’s carbon footprint and energy consumption, providing an impressive return on investment. The system has been designed to process and recover valuable metal such as aluminum, zinc and copper from dross.

“DROSRITE™ has been many years in the making; from the original paid-for-demonstration, to the delivery and acceptance of a first commercial unit, to a reorder from the same customer,” said Mr. Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “This order, announced today, from a new Client, positions PyroGenesis as a solid provider of industrial furnaces to the metallurgical industry; particularly to the aluminum sector. PyroGenesis’ DROSRITE™ system provides exceptional return on investment to our customers, all with a green technology that has, in our opinion, no equivalent in the market.”

The previously announced paid-for-demonstration for zinc recovery in India is about to begin, and the trials are expected to be completed within the next ten (10) weeks. In addition, previously announced tolling discussions continue with potential joint venture partners. A successful site visit was recently completed.

“This double order, from a new Client, reflects the fact that DROSRITE™ is finally gaining acceptance. The addition of the mini DROSRITE™ (500 TPY), to our original offering (5,000 TPY), together with the decision to embrace tolling opportunities, has effectively positioned PyroGenesis as a one stop shop for dross processing,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “The announcement today must be taken in the context of what we are doing; we are essentially introducing a new technology into a very conservative industry. This is not a platform where change is expected and embraced. To the contrary, the mere fact that we claim to be able to process dross without salt is viewed skeptically and, as such, is another hurdle we had to overcome. What is readily apparent to us is the value proposition DROSRITE™ offers to an industry that rarely sees improvements of such magnitude, and what that means for PyroGenesis. There is over 3,000,000 TPY1 of Aluminum dross produced, which when added to the market for processing zinc and copper dross, creates a very significant business opportunity for the Company. Given the fact that, as I said, this is a new technology we are introducing to a conservative industry, it was difficult to predict with certainty if, and when, DROSRITE™ would take hold, but there was no doubt in our mind that when it did, and it looks like this double order is the start, it would be significant and long term, creating additional value for shareholders.”

Furthermore, PyroGenesis will be presenting its DROSRITE™ solution, and exhibiting at “Aluminium 2018” being held in Düsseldorf, Germany between October 9 and 11 (Hall 11, booth G50/06). Contact us to book an appointment or meet with us there.

Separately, the Company has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange of the previously announced Normal Course Issuer Bid to purchase up to 5% of the Company’s common shares issued and outstanding over a period of twelve (12) months.

  • Esports gets bigger and more exciting every year
  • eSports turns 20 this year, and it is almost poetic to see Blizzard’s Overwatch taking it into the future when it was Blizzard’s Starcraft that kicked off the whole phenomenon
  • The sci-fi RTS is the 5th bestselling PC game of all time, and its popularity resulted in the creation of eSports in South Korea.

By Isaiah Mayersen on September 16, 2018, 9:05 AM

The big picture: New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has brought Overwatch League team Boston Uprising, and the CEO of the New York Mets Jeff Wilpon has brought the New York Excelsior. Other executives from major sports teams, along with the usual eSports investors, are pushing the Overwatch League into the spotlight with other professional sports. eSports is about to get a whole lot more serious.

eSports turns 20 this year, and it is almost poetic to see Blizzard’s Overwatch taking it into the future when it was Blizzard’s Starcraft that kicked off the whole phenomenon. The sci-fi RTS is the 5th bestselling PC game of all time, and its popularity resulted in the creation of eSports in South Korea. But what has always been lacking from eSports? The answer used to be franchises and region-based teams, but if you’re one of the 300 million people who has been watching eSports in the last year, you might have noticed that’s changed. What’s lacking is money – eSports only generated $700 million last year. The NBA made a little less than $8 billion last year, and the NFL was somewhere in the ballpark of double that.

Overwatch League’s debut season was the first to have teams represent individual cities. Now, Blizzard has hired executives from the NFL and NBA and broadcasting specialists from Fox Sports and sports channel ESPN. After the finals in July pulled in over 20,000 fans to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, it’s no wonder they’re looking to expand. Blizzard has already announced franchises in Atlanta, Washington, Paris, Toronto, Vancouver, British Columbia, and says it’ll be bringing more Overwatch content to ESPN.

eSports is even more popular in China that it is in America, and China will be adding teams from Guangzhou, Chengdu and Hangzhou to its Shanghai team.

All this makes Overwatch League a “viewable product with audiences that can be marketed and carved up,” according to T.L. Taylor, who studies eSports and online gaming.

The president of Kraft group, Jonathon Kraft, says his organization has watched eSports closely but hasn’t moved on it now due to the untested and unpredictable nature of its previous business model. While the local team model hasn’t been tested on eSports before, he says “it’s not the wild, wild West anymore. There’s a structure. There’s substance.”

Despite being linked to their hometowns, all the teams play just outside of Los Angeles and they get free accommodation there, too. The only eSports that has players living in the towns they represent is NBA 2K, which has all the players commute to New York every weekend to play.

Riot Games has also been considering local team business models for League of Legends, the most popular eSports in the world. However, their head of eSports for North America, Chris Hopper, believes there will be diminishing returns if they expand into multiple cities: “We’ve sold out events because of the relative scarcity of presence in that market.” There’s clearly still a long way to go before eSports is running in parallel to NFL and other major sports, but who knows, maybe one day it’ll make it into the Olympics.

Fortunately, this hasn’t stopped executives from the Los Angeles Rams, Philadelphia Flyers and Sacramento Kings from all buying into Overwatch teams. Stay tuned for the Overwatch League to make a big splash in 2019.

#Nickel price to benefit from short supply, strong steel demand through 2019 $TN.ca $ROX.ca $FF.ca $EDG.ca $AGL.ca $ANZ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:17 PM on Thursday, September 13th, 2018
  • Nickel, which recently hit its lowest since December, could climb as high as $16 000 a tonne by the end of 2018 and $18 000 a year later, Macquarie Capital senior commodities consultant Jim Lennon said on the sidelines of the MetalBulletin 6th Asian Nickel Conference in Jakarta on Wednesday.
  • Nickel has been supported by stainless steel demand growth that exceeded 9% in the first half of 2018, Lennon said.

JAKARTA – Slower production increases in leading supplier Indonesia and continued growth in stainless steel demand are forecast to extend a supply shortage in the global nickel market, supporting price gains through 2019.

Nickel, which recently hit its lowest since December, could climb as high as $16 000 a tonne by the end of 2018 and $18 000 a year later, Macquarie Capital senior commodities consultant Jim Lennon said on the sidelines of the MetalBulletin 6th Asian Nickel Conference in Jakarta on Wednesday.

Nickel has been supported by stainless steel demand growth that exceeded 9% in the first half of 2018, Lennon said.

But concerns have emerged in recent months that global growth has peaked against the backdrop of an evolving trade war between the United States and China, dampening the outlook for the 2.2-million-tonne per year global nickel market, he said.

As a result, nickel prices had “overshot to the downside”, he said, noting that he expects China to relax its credit policies and introduce measures to stimulate growth that would underpin steel demand, while nickel output growth will remain slow for the rest of 2018.

Supply disruptions at Eramet‘s mines in New Caledonia and China‘s planned pollution controls in 40 cities, coupled with slow output growth in Indonesia, could also support a recovery in nickel prices this year, Lennon said.

“Inventories are coming down so prices should be moving higher.”

According to Norilsk Nickel principal nickel analyst Alexander Khodov, the global nickel market deficit could extend for three years from a shortfall of 120 000 t in 2018.

“Next year the deficit will probably slightly decrease as a result of a ramp-up in NPI (nickel pig iron) production here in Indonesia (and) a slight increase in NPI production in China, but the deficit will still be around 80 000,” Khodov told Reuters.

Wood Mackenzie metals analyst Linda Zhang also forecast growth in nickel prices to $14 400 this year and $16 670 in 2019, with the market facing a deficit of 73 000 t this year and 63 000 tin 2019.

Nickel recovered from an 8-1/2 month low on Wednesday, but gains were capped by fresh sparring between Washington and Beijing over trade and by sinking steel prices in China.

Three-month nickel on the London Metal Exchange was bid up 1.2% in official midday rings to $12 375 a tonne, having hit its lowest since late December at $12 085.
