BEYOND THE DECK: HPQ Silicon Shares Its PowerPoint Presentation With Investors

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:32 AM on Monday, March 21st, 2022
Hpq large

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing the high value-added silicon products sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers – but nobody has yet delivered – until now.  CEO Bernard Tourillon goes “Beyond the Deck” to provide shareholders a comprehensive company update.

Some topics we discuss:

THIRD PARTY VALIDATION FROM LEADING GLOBAL COMPANIES

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:  

●        $HPQ has already Received It’s First Order for Spherical Nano Silicon Material from Major Automobile Manufacturer

●        $HPQ Signed NDA and Received Request for 4N Silicon Material Samples from a World Leading High-Performance Materials Company

●        $HPQ has already received signed NDAs from at least 2 battery players 

SILICON PRICES SKY ROCKETING

And $HPQ timing couldn’t be better as the price for 1 metric ton of Silicon, as of the end of 2021, reached US $10,000 compared to just US $2,500 a year ago.

HPQ Silicon became even stronger when it announced that they have been  Issued A U.S. Patent For Its PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Technology

CEO Bernard Tourillon commented:“ Since 2015, HPQ PUREVAP T M QRR has been at the forefront of disrupting Silicon manufacturing, an industry that still relies on a traditional process to make silicon first develop in 1899. The U.S. patent issuance on our novel new approach to making silicon, combined with the end of Q1 start of the GEN3 PUREVAP TM QRR pilot plant , have culminated at an opportune time, as demand for high purity silicon from the battery and high-performance material companies continues to rise just as bottlenecks, we had foreseen are now occurring in the silicon supply chain. With ESG principles playing an active role in materials sourcing, the world is more aware of the difficulties of securing the ESG compliant Silicon needed to meet its renewable energy goals. The reality of chronic underinvestment in new technologies combined with the offshoring of Silicon production capacity, has created a massive opportunity for HPQ and its PUREVAP TM QRR patented process, as we are the only company to bring to market a new process for making Silicon that is perfectly suited to the new demands and realities of the Silicon market.”

Sit back, relax and watch this powerful presentation.

Meet the 4 SmallCap Nickel Companies Poised to Succeed in Today’s Rapidly Evolving Market $TN.ca $PM.ca $SX.ca $PNPN.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 3:41 PM on Wednesday, March 9th, 2022

The nickel market is a US$20+ billion per year industry and future nickel demand depends on battery demand and Electric Vehicle market penetration. Today’s market is dominated by stainless steel and nickel is a key base metal for building sustainable societies due to its use in stainless steel and new battery technology. Its multiple physical and chemical properties make it essential in thousands of products from mobile phones to medical equipment and wind turbines.

Nickel is also a critical component in new battery technology used in electric vehicles, and most nickel in the global supply chain is not actually suited for battery production. Battery demand requires high grade nickel products to produce nickel sulphate.

Nickel supply comes from two different types of deposits:

Class I (Nickel Sulphides): Higher grade, but rarer deposits that make up 37.5% of current production.

Class II (Nickel Laterites): Low grade, bulk-tonnage deposits that make up 62.4% of current production.

With the LME recently halting trading due to a short squeeze event, the Nickel market has been put on notice with prices for the valued metal increasing in many multiples. Future supply needs to be found, and with the LMW currently closed, some would say it needs to be found today.

Here are 4 great smallcap companies addressing this present and future need

Pampa Metals ( PM : CSE )

Pampa Metals objective is to make a major copper discovery in Chile.  They have a portfolio of 8 projects in northern Chile combined with an experienced management team and a healthy corporate treasury that positions Pampa to make a significant discovery.

Pampa is Targeting Porphyry Copper Deposits and these types range in the billions of tons provide massive quantities of coper and economies of scale when in production. Not only that, Pampa Projects in clear line of sight to prospective porphyry copper systems, and this is why they are positioned for discovery. They have a superior portfolio of projects

Power Nickel (PNPN: TSX-V) (CMETF: OTCQB )

Power Nickel is focused on high-potential battery metal prospects in Canada. The company recently completed the acquisition of its option to acquire up to 80% of the Nisk Project (Nickel, Copper, PGE) from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. as it transforms into a battery metals provider for the emerging EV Industry.

The NISK property comprises a large land position (20 kilometres of strike length) with numerous high-grade intercepts. Power Nickel is focused on confirming what is known to be there, while also expanding the ( non 43-101 ) high-grade nickel-copper PGE mineralization historical resource. This will be accomplished through the drill program by preparing a new Mineral Resource, substantially aided by the first assay results that returned 19.9 Metres of 0.7% Ni, 0.61% Cu, 0.04% Co, 0.81gPd, 0.39g Pt and add potential to ” have a commercial high-grade Nickel Sulphate deposit”

Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN) (OTCQX: TTSRF)

An early adopter of the Electric Vehicle revolution, Tartisan was one of the first companies to target Nickel and electric battery metals to accommodate anticipated future demand.

Tartisan Nickel Corp. owns the Kenbridge Class 1 Nickel Project in northwestern Ontario with an updated Mineral Resource Estimate of 117m lbs Ni, 66m lbs Cu. Additionally, there are several untested exploration targets on the property, such as the Kenbridge North target that holds similar geophysical characteristics to the Kenbridge Deposit.

St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE:SX)(OTC:SXOOF)

St Georges controls the Julie Nickel Project where in 2021, 4,198 meters were drilled on Julie, the bulk of which consisted of holes positioned to conduct a borehole geophysical review of the project and identify targets for the second phase of exploration drilling. Results from this effort will be communicated by press release as they become available. The continuation of phase 1 of the drilling effort is planned for spring 2022, which will follow the upcoming revision of the proposed drilling efforts. This revision is based on results received to date and is currently being compiled by the Company’s geologists.

Julie is located within the mining-friendly province of Quebec, Canada. Nickel-copper-cobalt with
​​​​​​​Grades range from 0.001% to 2.16% Ni, 0.01% to 0.33% Cu

VIDEO – Canadian Trucker Protests & Ukrainian Invasion Accelerate Demand For KWESST Non-Lethal & Soldier Decoy Technologies

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:57 PM on Monday, March 7th, 2022
Kwe large new

KWESST Micro Systems (KWE:TSXV) offers high-tech, covert defense systems that we only get to see in Tom Cruise movies.

$KWE is a leader in “soldier systems” technologies that increase the capabilities of soldiers.  Let’s be clear right off the start, KWESST doesn’t sell weaponry.  Rather, it sells technologies that make a big difference to the safety and effectiveness of soldiers.

For example, the Company’s PhantomTM electronic decoy technology helps prevent soldiers being located and killed due to electronic signals their equipment creates – by creating multiple electronic decoys that enemies can not differentiate. 

CANADIAN TRUCKER PROTESTS

Events like the trucker protests have created a pronounced increase in demand by law enforcement agencies for non-lethal equipment. $KWE ARWEN anti-riot equipment was used at the trucker protest in Ottawa to help bring a safe conclusion to the incident. As a result $KWE is now processing numerous quote requests for replenishment and expansion of anti-riot equipment.

UKRAINE INVASION

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has been a major catalyst for KWESST’s PhantomTM electronic decoy, including several pending requests and price quotations to fill Urgent Operational Requirements for NATO forces. This level and urgency of interest leads $KWE to believe that it is highly likely it could receive NATO country orders throughout its 2022 fiscal year and beyond.

ESTABLISHED TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS

The company’s Leadership team experience spans decades and hundreds of millions of dollars in military and homeland security contracts. In addition it has partnered with globally recognized equipment manufacturers to integrate its systems into their solutions to create high value-add products for global customers, including SAMSUNG.

The company generated over $1.27M in revenue for the year ended Sept 30, 2021 but has already announced subsequent contracts surpassing this in the early months of this fiscal year.

The soldier systems market is projected to hit $14.5 Billion by 2023 and, up until  now, small cap investors have never had a company to participate in this lucrative (and SUPER COOL) market.

Watch this powerful interview with Executive Chairman David Luxton, who is a globally recognized entrepreneur in the defence and security industry. He was formerly an infantry officer and senior official with the Canadian and British governments before leading the global build-out of multiple defence and security companies. All together, companies under the leadership of David Luxton have generated over $1,000,000,000 (Billion) in sales.

VIDEO: Azincourt Energy – Potential Uranium Discovery with Radioactivity Identified in 800m Alteration Zone

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:29 AM on Friday, March 4th, 2022

Azincourt Energy is developing critical alternative energy projects for uranium and lithium. It’s core projects are in the clean energy space focusing on uranium exploration projects in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan.

More importantly they have 3rd party validation through institutional financing and ownership, to the tune of $8M+, and that is an important indicator to understanding a companies prospects. You need viable projects to attract funding, and in this case it is a large sum of money being devoted to a help Azincourt make a discovery.

They clearly have support.

Azincourt controls 70+% of the East Preston Uranium project located in the Athabasca basin in Saskatchewan that has numerous Uranium deposits, as well as mines operated by major mining companies. Saskatchewan has been a prolific jurisdiction for Uranium mining and production for 40+ years and contains 10 to 100 times the world average Uranium grades.
This makes finding an economic discovery feasible. That is part of the 3rd party validation that makes Azincourt compelling in the clean energy space.

Azincourt may have already justified the attention and investment received in advance of their current drill program as they just announced some very telling early indicators pointing toward a potential Uranium discovery.

On the K-Zone drilling has intersected extensive hydrothermal hematite alteration in all holes, indicating this alteration zone is at least 800 meters long. Drill hole EP0035 intersected an extensive zone of hydrothermal hematite more than 100 meters thick. Within this zone localized elevated radioactivity identified from both hand-held scintillometers and a downhole gamma probe was also encountered. Analysis of samples from this zone will be sent to the lab to evaluate the significance of the elevated radioactivity in this area. Additional drilling is underway to evaluate the significance of this alteration zone and to follow-up the elevated radioactivity identified.

On the G-Zone where eight holes have been completed and one hole is in progress, Extensive alteration and evidence of east-west cross-cutting structures have been intersected, along the southern portion of the zone. Additional drilling will be undertaken to evaluate the significance of this alteration and associated cross cutting structure.

2 separate zones, 2 Possible discoveries. Shareholders should pay very close attention to these early results. Being strategically located in the Athabasca Basin provides a leverage to discovery few early entrants to the space can demonstrate.

Why is Azincourt exploring in These areas? Quite simply the world needs clean energy.

The Uranium Market is demonstrating limited supply and growing demand and this provides a growth platform for explorco’s to capitalize on the need for uranium as Nuclear power is one of the safest forms of electricity generation. Nuclear power capacity worldwide is increasing steadily, with about 50 reactors under construction.

Take a seat ans have a listen to this great interview with Alex Klenman, President & CEO of Azincourt Energy (TSX.V: AAZ / OTC: AZURF) as he takes us through the steps why Azincourt may be the next Smallcap discovery in the Saskatchewan’s prolific Athabasca Basin.

Clinical Study of Psychedelic Drugs for Cancer Patients Could Be a ‘Game Changer’

The Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah is investigating group psilocybin therapy as a treatment for anxiety and depression in cancer patients. Dr. Paul Thielking, who serves as the study’s lead therapist, explains that even just one dose of psilocybin could entirely shift the patient’s perspective on their illness and situation. Even more remarkable? The effects of those experiences seem to last—in some case, more than four years.

Can Microdosing Psychedelics Boost Mental Health? Here’s What the Evidence Suggests

Microdosing. Does it work? Amidst increased buzz around the benefits of the practice, research continues to tackle this difficult question. This week, a new double-blind study revealed that microdosing with LSD produces “negligible changes in mood and cognition”, and there has been no research on the efficacy for people suffering from anxiety and depression. Check out National Geographic’s microdosing feature to learn more about current research, perspectives, and remaining questions.

VIDEO: Candente Copper $DNT.ca Announces New Deposit of 2.2Billion Pounds of Copper and 1.2Million Ounces Gold

Posted by AGORACOM at 12:21 PM on Thursday, February 3rd, 2022
http://blog.agoracom.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/candente-copper-for-blog1.jpg

TSX listed Candente Copper owns Canariaco Norte, a large, economic copper deposit in Peru that continues to advance technically and economically toward a sale or production decision. A 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) is nearing completion that will advance it further toward development

Now it has a sister deposit, Canariaco Sur located 2km away that could help advance developments much quicker.

Canariaco Sur contains 2.2 billion pounds of copper and 1.2 million ounces of gold in an inferred resource calculated with only 15 holes, demonstrating a considerable amount of metal.
Sur contains higher levels of gold and molybdenum than Cañariaco Norte, minimal arsenic levels and mineralization that starts at surface. Cañariaco Sur has the potential to add significant value to the resources at Cañariaco Norte, 2km to the northeast.

Cañariaco Norte is a 100% owned pre-feasibility-stage porphyry copper deposit containing 7.5B pounds Measured and Indicated and can be mined for 22 years once in production. Oh, and Canariaco Norte is in the lowest quartile of production costs for projects waiting to be developed at around 0.98c per pound of copper. If that doesn’t have your attention, the third party validation will, look at these partners supporting Candente in 4 research papers comparing various global copper projects in the last 4 years as it now moves 2 deposits toward development:

RFC Ambrian: Cañariaco Norte in top 10 of 23 projects with potential to involve third party M&A (December 2021)
Haywood: Cañariaco Norte is one of 18 assets selected as likely to be considered by majors looking to acquire (December 2021)
Deutsche Bank: Cañariaco Norte identified as one of 3 projects required to meet the upcoming copper supply-demand gap (February 2021)
Goldman Sachs: Cañariaco Norte identified with incentive copper price in the lowest quartile of the top 84 copper projects worldwide (October 2018)

Canariaco Norte is a deposit itching to become a mine and Candente continues to advance the project forward with studies evaluating various methodologies to reduce CAPEX with multiple scenarios that support developing Canariaco closer to a production scenario.

With the price of copper firmly above $4 dollars, the economics supporting Canariaco going into production only gets stronger, and now Canariaco has a sister deposit helping to expedite matters.
Watch this great interview with Candente CEO Joanne Freeze as walks through Canariaco Sur and the exciting new developments aiding the development of 2 exciting copper porphyry deposits.
