DuSolo Reaches Full Production Capacity at Bomfim Processing Plant

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:33 AM on Wednesday, June 17th, 2015

  • Reached its full production capacity of 20,000 tonnes per month at its Bomfim Processing Plant where the Company manufactures its Direct Application Natural Fertilizer product
  • During the current planting season, DuSolo intends to produce at least 100,000 tonnes of DANF product, the maximum amount currently allowed by the mining permits the Company has in place
  • Earlier this year, DuSolo submitted an application to double its allowable mining capacity to 200,000 tonnes per year.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(June 17, 2015) – DuSolo Fertilizers Inc., (TSX VENTURE:DSF)(OTC PINK:ELGSF)(FRANKFURT:E6R) (“DuSolo” or “the Company”) has reached its full production capacity of 20,000 tonnes per month at its Bomfim Processing Plant (the “Plant”) where the Company manufactures its Direct Application Natural Fertilizer (“DANF”) product. During the current planting season, DuSolo intends to produce at least 100,000 tonnes of DANF product, the maximum amount currently allowed by the mining permits the Company has in place. Earlier this year, DuSolo submitted an application to double its allowable mining capacity to 200,000 tonnes per year.

This year’s planting season began in late May, and is expected to go to late fall.

“This will be the first full planting season in which DuSolo will be producing fertilizers. At our current production rate, we are able to deliver on all sales contracts currently in place,” said Eran Friedlander, President and CEO of DuSolo. “With the anticipated increased capacity, the Company will be in a position to enter into additional sales contracts this year, thereby addressing the growing demand for DANF in the region.”

DANF PRODUCTION

The Company has re-commenced at surface mining operations at the Santiago target and is currently excavating around 1,000 tonnes per day.

DANF production restarted in late May, at which time DuSolo began ramping up its operations. The Plant is now running 5.5 days a week with two shifts working a total of 20 hours per day. Approximately 900 tonnes of DANF is now being produced daily, totaling 20,000 tonnes per month.

DuSolo also recently completed the construction of an on site laboratory in order to test and ensure the quality of its 12%, 15% and 18% P2O5 DANF products.

FACILITY UPGRADES

In anticipation of receiving permits to increase its production rate, DuSolo is installing upgrades at the Plant. The longer than expected rainy season and infrastructure-related issues prevented the Company from carrying out its initial plan to have the additional production capacity in place by the original date of March 2015.

DuSolo has now begun installing the three hammer mills, additional conveyor belts and electrical infrastructure upgrades necessary to increase its annual production capacity to 160,000 tonnes per year. Total capital expenditure is expected to be C$315,000 and will take approximately 2 months to complete.

ABOUT DIRECT APPLICATION NATURAL FERTILIZER

DANF is an environmentally friendly, natural fertilizer derived from phosphate-rich rock types. It can be used on its own or in combination with other phosphate-based fertilizers in order to increase crop yields. Farmers in Brazil’s Cerrado region prefer using DANF on their crops, however local supply is limited and the alternative, imported phosrock, is highly-priced due to transportation and other importation costs. By being the only DANF producer within a 500 km radius of its production facility, DuSolo is able to meet the needs of farmers in the area by providing a premium product at competitive prices.

DuSolo produces DANF during Brazil’s planting season, which typically goes from April to October. During the rainy season, November to March, the Company intends to carry out care and maintenance at the Plant in advance of the next planting season.

ABOUT DUSOLO

DuSolo Fertilizers Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DSF)(OTC PINK:ELGSF)(FRANKFURT:E6R) is a producer and distributor of phosphate based fertilizers within the Cerrado region of Brazil, one of the fasting growing agricultural producing regions globally. As part of a nationwide effort, incentivized by the government, DuSolo’s goal is to increase the supply of domestically produced fertilizers and help the region achieve agricultural self-sufficiency.

What are High Purity Quartz and Silicon Metal?

High Purity Quartz

  • High Purity Quartz (HPQ) has a purity level in excess of 99.997% and is extremely rare.
  • Used in the semiconductor industry to produce crucibles and quartz glass products, such as windows, rods, and tubes [Source].
  • Also used in the production of silicon metal, which is the base for the semiconductor wafers, made using the Czochralski Process[Source].
  • High purity quartz deposits with low impurities are rare, world supplies are tightening and HPS prices are rising [Source ].
  • Demand for HPQ is growing with the high tech industry and the price for premium HPQ can vary between US$ 8,000 to US$ 25,000 or more per ton depending on the specifications needed for the final application [Source ].

Metallurgical Silicon Metal

  • Metallurgical Silicon Metal has a purity of 98.5% or higher and is used as an alloying agent in the aluminum industry due to its ability to increase the strength of aluminum [Source].
  • Adding Silicon Metal to aluminum alloys makes them strong and light [Source].
  • As a result they are increasingly used in the automotive industry to replace heavier cast iron components [Source].
  • Allows weight reductions and a reduction in fuel consumption [Source].
  • Demand for aluminium has increased 5% CAGR over the past 20 years [Source].

  • It has become one of today’s key strategic minerals with applications in high-tech industries that include semiconductors, LCD displays, fused quartz tubing, microelectronics, solar silicon applications and recently, Silicon Anode Lithium Batteries
  • Silicon Metal with 98.50% SiO2 purity sells for about US$ 3,200 per ton (or US$ 1.45 US a pound) [Source].

Martinville, Malvina and the Montpetit Quarry Silica Properties

Quebec Quartz, has successfully finish the sampling programs over the historical quartz and quartzite showings on the Montpetit Quarry, and the Martinville and Malvina Silica properties. A map of the properties can be viewed here: http://www.uragold.com/Quebec-Quartz.php.

The Montpetit Property is located in the Monteregie Region of Quebec, some 40 km south of Montreal and 7 km south of Saint-Clotilde-de-Chateauguay. The Quebec-New-York border is 10 km from the property. The property is located on NTS map sheets 31H/04 (1:50,000 scale). Farms fields and forest, owned by private landowners, mostly cover the region.

A review of the historical work indicates that the quarry operated for one (1) year and that the deposit is composed of consolidated beach sand that was highly purified by segregation, sorting and leaching. Through natural Diagenesis, overtime the sand was transformed into a quartzite.

Acquired, through map staking, two silica claims directly adjacent to Sitec Silicium Quebec quartz mine located in the Charlevoix region of Quebec

Sitec Silicium Quebec quartz mine supplies silica for Sitec silicon metal foundry in Becancour and for the Elkem Metal Canada ferrosilicium foundry in Chicoutimi Quebec.

Quebec Quart, Uragold’s wholly owned subsidiary, intends to explore the claims for quartzite extensions to the north of the Silicium Quebec Mine. The Galette sector of the Charlevoix region is knows to hold high purity quartzites. The regional geology is comprised of a paragenesis and pink garnetiferous granite with units of discernable quartzites within the paragenesis.

 

Developing Quebec’s First Placer Gold Mine

Uragolds business model focuses on developing low-risk, low-cost gold mining operations while exploring on core properties that hold the potential of discovering world class gold deposits. The Company’s properties are located in Canada in the Appalachian region of the province of Quebec. The properties benefit from extensive historical exploration work and from well-established infrastructure thereby helping to reduce exploration risks.

 

Beauce Placer Gold Project is located in the municipality of Saint-Simon-les-Mines in the Beauce region of southern Quebec. The project has all the required environmental permits to start its operations, and is in the final stage for obtaining a 20 year mining lease for a placer gold mining operation. It will be Quebec’s first placer mine in 50 years.

Developing an open pit gold mine in the Beauce

In April 2014, Uragold singed a definitive option agreement with Golden Hope Mines (“GNH”) concerning the advancement of the Bellechasse-Timmins (BT) Gold Deposit into a producing mine.

The Beauce Placer property and the Golden Hope Mines’ Bellechasse-Timmins (BT) Gold Deposit (which are both ‘nuggety’ type deposits) are located within Magog Group sediments. It should be noted that the Beauce gold project has a thick till in contrast to the Bellechasse-Timmins (BT) Gold Deposit where most of the till has been eroded away and exposed the outcrops. This suggests that both the Beauce and the Bellechasse/ Timmins deposits are genetically related – the Beauce being a placer deposit derived from an unknown Bellechasse/ Timmins type deposit.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Uragold will be responsible for obtaining all required permits, approvals, and documentation associated with going into production, in return for a 30% interest in the property. Uragold will then have 120 days to obtain project financing, which, if successful, will earn it a further 20% interest, giving Uragold a 50% interest in the B-T deposit. The companies will then form a Joint Venture (JV) for the operation of the mine, with Uragold serving as operator. GNH will have a carried interest into production, and will receive a 50% Net Proceeds Royalty (“NPR”) on the gold produced.

  • 38,000 meters drilled, 2010 to 2012
  • Gold Recovery:
    • Gravity separation up to 92%
    • Total gold (gravity + cyanidation) 99%
  • Less than 1% Bellechase-Belt explored
  • Located in the municipality of Saint-Magloire, in the Beauce region of Quebec
  • 1 ½ hour drive south of Quebec City
  • 3 ½ hours from Montreal
  • Accessible year round on all paved roads, close to urban infrastructures

Moe River Gold Property

The Moe River Property is located in the southwestern part of the Quebec Appalachians in the Eastern Townships region of the Province of Quebec.

The gold bearing gravels of the Moe river valley has attracted prospectors since the 1900. Between 1958 and 1962, Tamara Mining Limited worked in the Moe River area, under the direction of G. A. Blair, P.Eng. Blair defined a historical resource based on the volume of gravels in the terraces along the river. He concluded that there were between 45 to 48 million cubic yards of material in all of the terraces containing a total of 400,000 ounces of placer gold.

Enertopia Provides Canadian Medical Marihuana Update

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:00 AM on Friday, June 12th, 2015

  • Signed a binding LOI to sell its wholly owned sub Thor Pharma Corp along with the MMPR application number 10MMPR0610
  • Burlington MMPR license application will continue in the application process under new ownership
  • Joint Venture could receive up to $1,500,000 in milestone payments upon the Burlington facility becoming licensed under the MMPR program

VANCOUVER, BC / June 12 2015 – Enertopia Corporation (ENRT-OTCBB) (TOP-CSE) (the “Company” or “Enertopia”) announces updates with respect to the Burlington and The Green Canvas Joint Ventures.

Enertopia has signed a binding LOI to sell its wholly owned sub Thor Pharma Corp along with the MMPR application number 10MMPR0610. The Burlington MMPR license application will continue in the application process under new ownership. The Joint Venture could receive up to $1,500,000 in milestone payments upon the Burlington facility becoming licensed under the MMPR program. These monies would be split approximately 50% with Lexaria Corp. Subsequent with this deal the Burlington Joint Venture between Enertopia and Lexaria which was entered into on May 27, 2014 has been terminated due to the pending sale of the project. The Enertopia and Lexaria Master Joint Venture Agreement entered into on March 5, 2014 is still in good standing as both companies continue to look at synergistic opportunities to increase shareholder value.

After thorough examination of the Medical Marihuana industry in Canada and current participants within the sector, it is apparent that raising capital to push projects forward is not currently in the best interests of the Company. Therefore, the Company and The Green Canvas have mutually agreed to terminate their Joint Venture and 6,400,000 shares of Enertopia held in escrow with respect to The Green Canvas Joint Venture will be returned back to corporate treasury and cancelled.

Enertopia is and will continue to be an advocate for medical cannabis for patients and applauds the landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling on June 11, 2015. This ruling upheld the rights of legal MMAR and MMPR medical cannabis patients in Canada. The unanimous ruling allows valid legal medical patients to choose how they want to administer medical cannabis by the method that is best suited to their medical condition and body absorption. This is looks to be a very positive development for the Canadian medical marihuana sector going forward, as the Federal Government will have to modify or implement a program for the administration of other forms of medical cannabis consumption.

Enertopia will continue to look for opportunities in the MMJ and other sectors that offer the best return for all stakeholders with the least amount of dilution to the Company. The Company looks forward to utilizing its learned knowledge in the MMJ sector and will continue on its path of becoming a licensed producer.

“The Company has completed two milestones in building a stable foundation with its ownership of 1,000,000 shares in Lexaria Corp which has just filed PCT for patent pending bio technologies and the potential of approximately $750,000 in future payments from the Burlington application,” Stated President Robert McAllister

The Company looks forward to providing information via social media, website and press releases as news and events become known over the coming weeks.

Medical marijuana includes cookies, brownies, oils and tea rules Supreme Court

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:33 AM on Thursday, June 11th, 2015

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that limiting medical consumption to dried marijuana infringes on liberty protections under the Charter of Rights.Cannabis-infused peanut butter cookies are displayed for sale at a Weeds Glass and Gifts medical marijuana dispensary in downtown Vancouver, B.C.

DARRYL DYCK / THE CANADIAN PRESS

Cannabis-infused peanut butter cookies are displayed for sale at a Weeds Glass and Gifts medical marijuana dispensary in downtown Vancouver, B.C.

By: The Canadian Press, Published on Thu Jun 11 2015

OTTAWA—The Supreme Court of Canada says medical marijuana can include products other than dried pot, such as cannabis-infused cookies brownies, oils and tea.

The court has rejected an appeal by the federal government of a lower court ruling that medical marijuana users have a right to a range of products containing the drug.

In a 7-0 decision, the court ruled that limiting medical consumption to dried marijuana infringes on liberty protections under the Charter of Rights.

Current federal regulations stipulate that authorized users of physician-prescribed cannabis can only consume dried marijuana.

The case stems from the arrest in 2009 of Owen Smith, former head baker for the Cannabis Buyers Club of Canada, who was charged after police found more than 200 pot cookies and cannabis-infused olive oil and grapeseed oil in his Victoria apartment.

AGORACOM Welcomes DuSolo Fertilizers (TSX-V:DSF) Capitalizing on Brazil’s Growing Demand for Fertilizer

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:25 PM on Wednesday, June 10th, 2015

BY BEING A DOMESTIC FERTILIZER PRODUCER, DUSOLO IS ABLE TO OFFER A PREMIUM PRODUCT AT A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER COST

  • Entered into a two-year, 60,000 tonne sales contract (30,000 tonnes per year) for its 15% P2O5 Direct Application Natural Fertilizer product with a local Brazilian fertilizer distributor
  • Over the term of the Contract, the Buyer has agreed to pay BRL230 per tonne for total proceeds of BRL13,800,000 or approximately C$5,500,000


  • Assets host at surface, high-grade phosphate mineralization, which allows for a simple mining and processing method
  • Direct Application Natural Fertilizer (DANF) product is in high demand in the region
  • No additional transportation or logistics costs are added to our DANF product prices

BRAZIL IS ONE OF THE WORLD’S FASTEST GROWING AGRICULTURAL ECONOMIES

  • World’s largest exporter of sugar, coffee and orange juice and the second largest in soybean exports
  • Domestic fertilizer supply does not meet current demands
  • Brazil currently imports more than 50% of phosphate fertilizers from it uses overseas
  • Significant transportation and logistic-related costs are added to imported fertilizers

MANY NEAR TERM CATALYSTS EXPECTED

  • Entering into additional DANF product sales contracts

  • Doubling capacity at  processing facility to 160,000 tonnes per year
  • Updating the National Instrument 43-101 Resource Estimate to include results from the 2015 drill campaign – Recent drill results confirm presence of additional high-grade phosphate mineralization beyond areas identified in initial resource estimate
  • Third Party Economic Evaluation of Operations Planned for 2015
  • Cash flow from operations

PHOSPHATE IS BECOMING AN IMPORTANT COMMODITY


  • The growing global population is creating an ever-increasing demand for food

  • Agricultural production requires the use of fertilizers from three essential minerals Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) or (“NPK”)
  • Demand for phosphate-based fertilizers is rising, while existing global phosphate reserves are declining
  • It’s estimated that “peak phosphorus” production will occur by 2030
  • Brazil’s has a substantial shortage of domestically produced phosphate fertilizers; as a result the government considers it to be a strategic commodity

ADVANTAGES OF OPERATING IN THE CERRADO REGION

  • The Cerrado region is home to the largest arable land mass in the world – Majority of future increases in global food production is expected to come from this region

  • The tropical rains in the Cerrado wash away nutrients, leaving the soil poor for farming and needing to be fertilized frequently
  • Cerrado is land locked, therefore making fertilizer imports very expensive
  • Within a 500 km radius of DuSolo’s processing facility:
    • 1.2 million tonnes of phosrock is being consumed every year
    • 585 farms and agricultural centres exist
    • DANF consumption is growing at a compound annual growth rate f 6%
    • No domestic production

Xylitol Canada Generates $1.9M in Revenue For 3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2015

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:53 PM on Thursday, May 28th, 2015

  • $1.9M in Revenue For 3 Months Ended Mar. 31, 2015
  • Q1 numbers were down slightly and is easily attributed to the West Coast port strike that made it difficult to get timely delivery of our Organic Coconut Palm Sugar

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(May 28, 2015) – Xylitol Canada Inc. (“Xylitol Canada“, or the “Company“) (TSX VENTURE:XYL) today announces that it has released its financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Highlights of the results include:

Commented Andrew Reid CEO of Xylitol Canada: “While our year over year Q1 numbers were down slightly, it is easily attributed to the West Coast port strike that made it difficult for us to get timely delivery of our Organic Coconut Palm Sugar. We were forced to push some deliveries and commitments into Q2, however we don’t expect this strike, which has now been resolved, to have any material impact on our 2015 numbers. On a positive note, the Company deployed its new pricing structure on March 31 to customers throughout North America. This pricing adjustment came as a response to raw material price adjustments, and more so to compensate for the strong US dollar that negatively affected the part of our USA based product business that billed Canadian customers in Canadian dollars.”

The full text of the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) can be found at: www.sedar.com.

About Xylitol Canada Inc.

Xylitol Canada markets xylitol and xylitol based-products and is focused on becoming a major low-cost manufacturer of xylitol and related products, serving the global market from operations in North America. Xylitol Canada’s business strategy is to leverage novel proprietary technology and processes to become North America’s premier manufacturer of low cost, high quality xylitol from readily available environmentally-sustainable biomass. Xylitol is a natural sweetener which is marketed globally including Canada and the United States and is accepted by the American Food and Drug Administration, the World Health Organization and the American Dental Association. Xylitol contains 75% less carbohydrates and 40% less calories than sugar, has a myriad of oral health benefits including the prevention of tooth decay and is safe for diabetics. To date, wider spread use of xylitol has been limited by the lack of a reliable, low cost, high quality supplier.

Neah Power Provides update on the increasing global demand for remote power

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:18 AM on Wednesday, May 27th, 2015

  • level of interest in NEAH Power’s technologies has never been greater.
  • As the frenzy of venture capital and private equity investing in alternative energy and clean energy companies comes back down to Earth, the focus of the industry is irreversibly shifting to practical, reliable and cost-effective solutions like those of NEAH Power, which can realistically meet current and urgent demands for off-grid power and energy storage in compact, scalable form factors.

Neah introduces proprietary lithium battery technology

BOTHELL, WA – May 27, 2015 – Neah Power Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: NPWZ) (OTC: NPWZ) –

To Our Shareholders:

As a supplement to our latest quarterly filing, I want to provide you with a brief report on the status of our Company operations as well as relate the progress achieved by our management in advancing efforts to commercialize, license and sell NEAH Power’s industry leading technologies and products.

While we continue to develop the many opportunities announced to date, we are also preparing to announce several more initiatives that are expected to contribute significantly to our growth and standing as an emerging leader in fuel cell and battery technologies.

In light of the current stock price, which management believes does not adequately reflect the true value of the Company’s assets, I wish to reassure you that the level of interest in NEAH Power’s technologies has never been greater. As the frenzy of venture capital and private equity investing in alternative energy and clean energy companies comes back down to Earth, the focus of the industry is irreversibly shifting to practical, reliable and cost-effective solutions like those of NEAH Power, which can realistically meet current and urgent demands for off-grid power and energy storage in compact, scalable form factors.

We are extremely pleased to announce that we have been doing research and development on a lithium battery technology that appears to be far superior to any incumbent technologies (the PowerChip® Battery). At an appropriate time in the near future, once the Company has achieved the next round of performance targets, we will be sharing details with our shareholders. Once completed, we believe our Porous Silicon Battery will be a disruptive power storage system for a whole range of applications from consumer goods to automotive applications, as well as for scalable storage solutions for off-peak and back-up power usage.

Now more than ever, power storage and generating technologies, such as batteries, ultra-capacitors and fuel cells are being used to increase efficiency and reliability in transportation, infrastructure, industrial equipment, and portable electronics, with the aim of creating a more sustainable, environmentally responsible, and secure economic future. Furthermore, the global energy industry, governments and other stakeholders have recognized that fuel cell and battery technologies such as ours, offer an attractive option for reliable backup power to the electric grid.

Also in our favor is the growing global demand for reliable remote power, both in developed and emerging markets, where large swaths of land that off-grid are now being incorporated. This demand is even greater in continents such as Africa where nations are facing a real crisis of rapid growth amidst failing or inadequate power grids. Over the next 10 years, emerging nations are anticipated to account for $13.6 billion in new power infrastructure investment as they roll out massive electric grid modernization programs to meet demand.

With the demand for real-time communication, access to the internet, and remote security for developing communities rapidly growing, NEAH Power clearly sees itself as a front-runner , as we have the technologies and products available to best deliver remote power systems, including “community power grids”. With continued success in securing the proper relationships, distribution partners and capital, NEAH Power should ostensibly become one of the leading providers of clean, reliable, and low cost power to remote areas.

Our management with the support of several new consultants and advisors have been focused intently on capitalizing on this increased attention and interest, and expect that the increasingly favorable environment will translate into real economic benefits for our shareholders. Accordingly, over the course of the last six months, NEAH Power’s technologies have attracted new interest and attention from numerous governments, industry partners, companies and other end-users, who have come to recognize that NEAH Power’s smaller, lighter and more powerful solutions represent a practical and reliable path to upgrade power capabilities. In addition, the interest of the investment community in technologies such as ours has never been as intense as it is today.

As to specific applications, we have seen significant interest for our power technologies from manufacturers of unmanned vehicles. This is particularly due to the fact that the unique capabilities and flexible application of our proprietary technologies, makes NEAH Power one of the few, if not the only, fuel cell company that can address any application, whether aerial, land or undersea.

At present we are in discussions with various UAV manufactures that wish to extend flight times and/or increase sensor payload capacity with the higher power concentration of a hybrid fuel cell solution incorporating NEAH Power’s technologies. Importantly, the same product development efforts here can be readily translated to other vehicles, including automotive, maritime and rail applications.

We have also seen a tremendous interest in resellers worldwide who are interested in our high energy density Formira HODTM (Hydrogen-on-Demand) platform to supplement grid, solar and other hybrid energy platforms, as well as a stand-alone system in micro-grid applications. While we are growing our distribution and resale network for Formira HODTM, NEAH Power’s management has also been focused on securing strategic partners which will allow us to deploy and support our products worldwide and enhance our branding. We expect to announce several exciting strategic partnerships soon!

Clearly, there is a lot to be proud of and much to be excited about as NEAH Power advances its growth phase. In spite of the challenging financial environment and the contrarian pressure on our stock, we feel that our power technologies are on the brink of our most significant economic achievements.

Status of the Shorai Acquisition

We previously announced the signing of a definitive agreement to merge with Shorai, Inc., with a targeted completion date of June 15 2015. Shorai is a leading provider of lithium ion-based power sports and starter battery solutions for the consumer motorsport industry. This merger is expected to be immediately accretive with Shorai reporting over $4.0 million (unaudited) revenue for the twelve months ended December 2014 with positive cash flow in 4Q 2014. Further, the acquisition will allow us to realize product, marketing and operational synergies as NEAH Power rolls our products. We are endeavoring to negotiate with investors the best possible deal for our current Company shareholders while we secure the capital necessary to close this acquisition transaction.

PowerChip® Fuel Cell Product Acceptance

We recently announced the successful completion of testing of three PowerChip® units with the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) of the Government of India. These units were manufactured and shipped against an open purchase order. Product testing, qualification and acceptance by a third party (a government owned entity) were completed December 2014. We consider this third party validation an important and key milestone for the Company. As planned, we have proceeded with discussions aimed at completing a licensing agreement with the Government of India, which if secured should result in significant supply contracts, licensing revenue and establish a broad, sustainable market in India and its territories. Completion of the ongoing discussions is pending on certain high level appointments at the DRDO expected in the near future.

Formira HODTM (Hydrogen on Demand)

Our Formira HODTM fuel cell continues to demonstrate best-in-class performance. As stated, we are in discussions with several leading manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remote robotic vehicles, automotive, rail, off-grid power, and medical device companies. The Formira HODTM fuel cell has been proven as a safe, cost-effective and energy dense solution for the production of hydrogen for a variety of applications. It surpasses other sources of energy like compressed hydrogen, the most commonly used method of utilizing hydrogen to generate energy. We are presently designing the Formira HODTM system into UAVs with Silent Falcon, and are targeting a shipment of the first units around the end of June 2015 to our security and defense partner, Tectonica Australia, a leading global defense and security systems integrator. We are very pleased with the reception our Formira HODTM system is receiving from different commercial and consumer companies and expect this to translate to material sales.

BuzzBar Suite Gen 2 & Gen 3

As of date, NEAH Power has shipped all of the orders that we received through the website and our Indiegogo campaign. We also have presented the product to various big box retailers and end users, and have aggregated the feedback from them into BuzzBar Gen 3. Our Gen 3 BuzzBar has received very good feedback. Pending the completion of a satisfactory capital raise and upon completing the Shorai Acquisition, we expect shipping of the Gen 3 BuzzBar to commence later this year. Our objective is to leverage the Shorai brand and marketing prowess to launch the Gen 3 in a most significant way!

We look forward to announcing more exciting news and milestones very soon! As we develop the numerous opportunities at hand, expand our business development efforts going forward, and secure the necessary capital to fully execute our plan, management will continue working hard to accomplish the mission. Our success is only achieved with the tireless work of our employees, the support of our shareholders, the diligent governance of our Board of Directors, and the expert guidance of our Strategic Advisory Board. Thank you for your trust and loyalty.

Best Regards,
Chris D’Couto
President & CEO
Neah Power Systems
