Peace Blockade

Erinn Baldeschwiler is just “looking for a sense of peace as she dies.” Baldeschwiler has terminal breast cancer and has tried to turn to psilocybin therapy, under the Right to Try Act, to help. But it hasn’t been that simple. It’s why she and other patients in similar situations are taking it to the courtroom. The case is set for next month, with the potential for a decision to come as early as this fall. “For Baldeschwiler, a safe and caring treatment plan involving psilocybin may be what helps her find peace. For her, now is the time to act — she doesn’t have much of it to spare.”

VIDEO – HPQ Breakthrough Green Hydrogen Launch Provides “Power Plant” To Take Silicon Production Plants Global … While Launching Commercial Hydrogen Products

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:05 PM on Tuesday, August 24th, 2021

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing high value-added silicon products that are sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers – but nobody has yet delivered – until now.

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:

As such, HPQ firmly believes its silicon products will play an important role in the renewable energy revolution. To this end, the Company had also announced some small but important initiatives in Hydrogen power generation over the last 12 months … but that initiative was significantly accelerated today when HPQ announced HPQ Launches Revolutionary and Breakthrough Green Hydrogen Extraction Technology Venture

How much acceleration? Try “SCALABLE WITH NO LIMITS”

“EBH2 is scalable with no limits.  It can power a small domestic generator up to ships, factories, buildings, cryptocurrency mines with high energy consumption and even cities.”

EBH2 believes it can scale to power the planned high purity silicon and Nano silicon production by HPQ. If successful, HPQ proposes to bundle the energy production capability of EBH2 systems with its silicon production to further reduce the environmental footprint of its developing high purity silicon, nano powders, and other Renewable Energy products.  Moreover, if successful, EBH2 would provide HPQ with “power plant” capabilities that would allow it to produce its products anywhere on the planet.

If that wasn’t enough HPQ added the following:

“all the while opening up new, and massive addressable markets for a system that can produce cheaply green hydrogen, on demand …. The Agreement establishes the terms of the creation of a new Joint venture Company (“NEWCO”) owned by HPQ and EBH2 that will market, sell and service EBH2 systems and products in North America (Canada, Mexico, and the United States).  …. units could readily replace solar panels or standby generators for homeowners.”

VIDEO – Draganfly Has Record Revenue, Tier-1 Clients and Recent NASDAQ Listing

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:19 PM on Monday, August 9th, 2021

Most of us know drones for their recreational uses 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 adopting them for a wide-use of applications that most never dreamed of such as:

  • To provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • To collect crowd data.

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones themselves (hardware) to drone technology and solutions (software)… and the one company that is delivering the most challenging applications is Draganfly Inc. (DPRO: NASDAQ) (DPRO: CSE)

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:

  • NASCAR
  • 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 

If you want ultra-cool consider that DFLY’s Vital Intelligence technology was selected for implementation by Knightscope, a leader in a leader in autonomous robot security capabilities.  

All of this has translated into financial success with 2020 Revenue hitting $4.36M up 216% … and now a record Q1 with $1.53M up 210%.

With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why the company recently uplisted to the NASDAQ.

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

VIDEO – HPQ Silicon Producing First Samples On Nano Silicon Material Is A Milestone “Equivalent To First Successful Landing Of SpaceX Falcon Rocket”

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:28 PM on Thursday, August 5th, 2021

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing high value-added silicon products that are sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers – but nobody has yet delivered – until now.  

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:

Earlier today the Company took a major step forward when $HPQ announced it successfully produced the first batch samples of Nano Silicon Materials.  

To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:

” The HPQ NANO team is now more confident than ever that the PUREVAPTM NSiR will be able to deliver, at scale, and on-demand, a nano silicon for anode production that will be cost competitive. The validation announced today …. was the big breakthrough we were looking for”

Peter Pascali, President and CEO of technology partner PyroGenesis added a little more excitement when he stated:

Words cannot adequately describe the excitement at PyroGenesis at potentially being able to address and solve challenges in developing lithium-ion batteries, which are sought after by many industries but specifically the EV market.”

Using an analogy to describe the importance of this milestone, $HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon stated it was equivalent to the first SpaceX successful landing of its Falcon rocket.  Specifically, though he was confident in their ability to produce Nano Silicon, actually producing it now removes all doubt and the Company can now focus on:

“… Subsequent batches will be delivered to the awaiting automobile manufacturers plus numerous other entities that have demonstrated an interest in receiving samples.

Intema Solutions (ITM:TSXV) an emerging esports and iGaming company  that is creating an Esports adventure like no other ….  Create the world’s foremost esports and iGaming ecosystem. 

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade.  The  obvious reasons include the following:

  • Exponential growth in the number of people online.  Yet only 59% of the world means more to come. 
  • Fast growth in the number of countries and jurisdictions legalizing gambling to collect tax revenue.

Esports was already the fastest growing sub-sector of digital entertainment, and Covid 19 has only accelerated this trend.

  • Biggest brands/tournament prizes / online audiences in the world … 500M +
  • The International Olympic Committee has recognized esports as a sport, and it will be a medal event at the 2022 Asian Games

Despite the vast amount of viewers, esports is still dramatically under-monetized relative to traditional sports. ITM believes wagering will play a major role in helping monetize this ever evolving platform.

Back to the future: Psychedelic drugs in psychiatry

In an article for Harvard Health, Peter Grinspoon, MD, covers how psychedelics work, evidence for using psychedelics medicinally and the pros and cons. It’s an interesting read given his personal history with psychedelics, which dates back to when he was 14 and reading “Psychedelic Drugs Reconsidered.” He remembers the book urging “an open-minded reappraisal about the therapeutic potential of this class of drugs.” Anyone involved in psychedelics knows that not all conversations on the topic are open-minded. It’s why part of the mission to provide safe, legal access to psychedelics also includes an educational component. The more we can destigmatize psychedelics, the faster we can continue to push the renaissance forward. 

Psychedelic trips could soon be part of therapy — here’s what those sessions will look like

Have you ever wondered what psychedelic therapy looks like? This article provides an insight into that process. “You don’t just get thrown into it,” (Jennifer) Mitchell says. “It’s not Burning Man or something. It’s very thoughtful.” And it’s something we take very seriously at our Cedar Psychiatry clinics. We recently posted a blog about psychedelics and safety considerations. Read it here.

VIDEO: Candente Copper $DNT.ca Executing The Strategy To Develop The 7.5B Pound Canariaco Deposit $FCX.ca $TECK.ca $FSUGY $PER.ca

TSX listed Candente Copper owns Canariaco Norte, a large, economic copper deposit in Peru that continues to advance technically and economically.

Cañariaco is a 100% owned 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, Goldman Sachs has it ranked as one of the top 80 projects waiting to be developed worldwide.

This 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.

Watch this great interview with Candente CEO Joanne Freeze as she explains how Candente can accelerate the development of Canariaco through the various studies that support a production scenario.

VIDEO: Fabled Silver Gold $FCO $FBSGF Increase Drill Program Beyond 14,000m with New High Grade Gold Discovery in Mexico $FCO $FBSGF $RDU $KTN $GMBXF $EDR

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:36 PM on Wednesday, July 28th, 2021

Fabled Silver Gold (TSXV:FCO ) (OTCQB: FBSGF) controls 100% of the Santa Maria mine gold and silver property in Mexico. It is a high grade silver gold property that is situated right in the middle of the Mexican Epithermal silver gold belt that has reportedly produced more silver than any other equivalent area in the entire planet.

To say it’s a mining friendly jurisdiction is an understatement.

Multiple major operators are in the vicinity and it’s already got a silver equivalent 43-101 of 3.2m ounces, but is looking to add to that significantly with recent intercepts of 2269 g/t silver.

That is not a typo, in other words it is also 2.269 kilos AgEq or 72 troy ounce. Just recently, Fabled encountered a new, previously unknown gold zone with the discovery of a high grade gold system with values up 10.85 g/t Au within 30.7m grading 161.09 Ag Eq, and the latest assays show 22 g/t gold in a discovery that increases the mineralization beyond known areas, and is open in all directions.   Fabled is moving from high grade silver into a more gold rich environment that includes silver


This quote from Peter J. Hawley, CEO and President describes the discovery:

……“ ‘As a result of discovering this new gold domain system, and ongoing interpretation of structural controls, assays results to date, and visual examination of recently drilled holes we have immediately expanded the present drilling by 5,000 meters, to a total of 14,200 meters. This will ensure that we have significant meterage to properly evaluate this gold discovery.’……..” we continue to define a new, never discovered high grade gold mineral domain system, with silver credits, over consistent widths in an area never explored, and which remains open to the west and at depth, plunging 45 degrees to the west and open in all directions for expansion.

Fabled is intent on proving Santa Maria is bigger and of potentially higher grade than the market understands and is well on its way as the deposit appears to be developing at depth into a dominant high grade gold system.

Sit back and enjoy as Peter Hawley President & CEO explains the importance of increasing the drill program beyond 14,000m and how expanding exploration will continue to yield discoveries.
