AGORACOM followers have given us great feedback on our hit series “Beyond The Press Release” (BTPR) in which we speak with small cap CEO’s about important press releases in greater depth and, quite frankly, in layman’s terms for investors to truly understand their significance.
Nowhere is this more important than in the world of disruptive technologies, biotech and pharma. Each of these industries share two distinct traits:
The possibility for explosive growth with disruptive new products
Difficulty in conveying disruptive new products that, by their nature, have never been seen before by investors.
Whereas BTPR tells these stories from the side of small cap public companies, Beyond The Expert (BTE) tells these stories from the perspective of experts on these topics – and we couldn’t think of anyone better to start off this series than Leigh Hughes.
Leigh is a Venture Capitalist who I’ve personally watched conduct incredible due diligence and invest into many small cap companies that have generated incredible returns over 12-18 month periods.
Leigh is so good at what he does that many global private equity funds and institutions take his call and often follow him into investments he chooses to make. Moreover, he serves as an advisor to several small cap companies.
If you ever wanted to truly learn how to become a great small cap investor, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Without further adieu, watch this great interview with Leigh Hughes and make sure to provide us with your feedback via comments on Twitter, YouTube or wherever you may be watching or listening.

School BUSRide spoke with Kevin Moore, CEO of SOBRsafe™, about touch-based alcohol detection and the difference it can make for school transportation
Kevin Moore, Chief Executive Officer, said that for he and SOBRsafe™, child safety represents a chance to make a societal difference with breakthrough technology.
Originally formed by venture capital firm First Capital Ventures, and merged with a detection technology development company, SOBRsafe is at its core a technology and data platform for touch-based alcohol detection – and it is coming to school buses.
“We brought a lot of previously successful people together as the leadership at SOBRsafe,” Moore said. “And one of the key elements for that leadership is to make a difference with this company. We are all at the point in our lives where we want to leave a generational legacy – and child safety is an area where we can make a significant social impact.”
Moore said that American school transportation lacks tools to fully prevent impaired driving, through no fault of the districts and schools themselves. With current capabilities and requirements, alcohol impairment can often go untracked at school bus operations – or tracked with very limited or random screening techniques.
“Every parent treasures their child’s safety,” Moore said, “so we asked ourselves, ‘What if we had a solution that screens 100 percent of bus drivers before they can receive keys and operate a bus?’”
SOBRcheck™
After a lengthy research and development period, SOBRsafe is launching SOBRcheck™ for access control, a patent-pending, proprietary device that provides touch-based identity verification and alcohol detection via a “go/no go” methodology.
When a human ingests alcohol, one of the ways it leaves the body is via transdermal expiration – through the skin. The SOBRcheck™ device does not provide a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) reading, instead detecting the presence of alcohol in Zero Tolerance situations – like a school bus operation.
The system further functions as a driver/vehicle authenticator by beaming light onto a driver’s skin and creating a set of data points. Those data points then act as that driver’s unique identification. Moore said that this helps alleviate privacy concerns, as the device is not recording fingerprints.
Furthermore, the information that the device collects is immediately transmitted to supervisors via a user-friendly app. This process, Moore said, allows transportation managers, operation managers, and other supervisors to make proactive decisions as opposed to reactive corrections.
“This is the sort of tool which will not only allow school transportation departments to keep children safe, but also provide parents with peace of mind about their child on the bus,” Moore said. “We see preemptive alcohol detection as a critical need for school buses, and feel this device is a phenomenal way to fulfill that need. Systems like this can be essential to ensure that school buses are substance-free environments.”
Kevin Moore, Chief Executive Officer, said that for he and SOBRsafe™, child safety represents a chance to make a societal difference with breakthrough technology.
A unique model
Moore said that SOBRsafe’s intellectual property is currently focused on alcohol detection, but the company is exploring technology centered around detection of cannabis, opioids, and other illicit drugs – as driven by employer need and market demand.
“The key to SOBRsafe is that we are not out developing technologies that require years of testing before commercialization,” Moore said. “We are an integrator of technologies. So, in addition to our internal alcohol detection development, we are looking for other commercially-ready technologies that might work within our system architecture.”
In addition to pursuing other substance detection solutions, Moore said that SOBRsafe is continuing to develop additional value-added features for its devices. The company is launching a new employee health and wellness platform soon, and is implementing GPS location, temperature checks, and more physiology-based technology into its devices for future deployments.
“There is a tremendous amount of emerging technology that can provide a huge benefit for schools and transportation operations,” he said. “We just have to find it, prove its effectiveness, and integrate it into our solutions.”
Deploying to school buses
Moore said that SOBRsafe moved through several prototypes and multiple human trials of the SOBRcheck device, as refining the technology’s various algorithms and detection processes is an exacting, time-consuming task. This was especially so in the wake of the nation’s COVID-19 shutdowns, extending the time required for effective pilot programs.
Once the current round of “production tooling” is complete, the company will launch another pilot program – and then go to market for school districts in the second quarter of 2021.
“We are accelerating the intervention process for school districts,” he said. “Driving under the influence is a serious matter, and intervention can reduce accidents, litigation, deaths, and operating costs.”
More than anything, Moore said, the company’s core objective is safety and saving lives, with child safety at the forefront.
“The feedback we are getting is extremely positive because there is a need in pupil transportation that has not been properly addressed with legacy technology,” Moore said. “When supervisors can proactively make critical decisions by using this data, it is going to improve productivity and save lives.”

The property is under explored, however 3 anomalies identified for future exploration
Future Exploration:
The initial phase of exploration is anticipated to include:
systematic geological structural and alteration mapping
geochemical sampling across the property to determine any local areas of anomalism
ground-based geophysics to confirm local structural trends
initial drill program expected in the summer of 2021.
Previous Work:
The property hosts two (2) known mineral showings (Gold Ore, and Magee),and a portion of the past producing Silverado Mine, which was reportedly exploited between 1921 and 1939.
Mineral showings are described to be Polymetallic veins that contain quantities of Silver, Lead, Zinc +/- Gold +/- Copper.
Numerous additional mineral occurrences, showings and past procuring mines are located in the immediate areas surrounding the property, further supporting the presence of widespread mineralization in the areas.
In 2018 Precision Geophysics completed an 88-line kilometre combined magnetic and gamma-ray spectrometry survey on behalf of the vendor Granby Gold Inc. Standard magnetics and radiometric data products were prepared and additional interpolate structural analyses were performed on the collected data.
A number of areas of coincident magnetic and radiometric anomalism have been identified, additionally ‘structurally prepared’ zones are identified from the structural analysis interpolates.
Such characteristics are widely regarded as favourable indicators of widespread hydrothermal alteration aka Porphyries, and will likely aid in vectoring toward any causative source intrusions that may be located on the property.
Teck Royalty
Chilean Metals sold its Copaquire property to Teck Resources Limited for Cad. $3,033,500, with CMX retaining a 3% NSR (net smelter return) royalty on production.
Teck has the right to purchase one third of the NSR for Cad. $3,000,000, thereby presenting the Company with near-term cash flow potential.
The royalty, whether 3% or reduced to 2% through Teck exercising its right,
has potential to provide significant future benefit to the Company in terms of non-dilutive exploration funding and/or
dividends to our shareholders,
may provide a model for the Company’s future accretive growth.
Copaquire is located in Chile’s 1st Region, 125 kms south of its capital city, Iquique, on upland plateau in a very well-endowed mineral neighbourhood and readily accessible via well-maintained all-weather roads.
The project adjoins Teck’s Quebrada Blanca mine, where leachable copper reserves will be depleted by 2016 at current production and reserve levels (Teck website). Anglo-Xstrata-Mitsui’s colossal Collahuasi copper mine also lies nearby.

Future work involves a targeted Geophysics
Coordinate 2nd drill program in Q3
Previous exploration data generated by both the company and other historic operators have been compiled and 8,660 training points were subjected to evaluation by Windfall’s propriety CARDS AI model. CARDS uses data mining techniques to analyze compiled exploration data and to identify areas target zones with high statistical similarity to known “signatures” of areas of copper, gold, and silver mineralization (Figures 3 and 4 below). A total of thirteen (13) prospective target zones were identified by the prediction analysis, of which in Phase 1 the company has elected to drill test two of the zones.
The ‘Chanchero’ Zone has previously been identified as being prospective for copper porphyry-style mineralization. The area comprises a 0.75 square kilometers zone of argillic and quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration hosted by augite-hornblende diorite to granodiorite with roof pendants of hornblende monzonite. The area was surveyed by 3-D Induced Polarization (IP) methods in 2008 and generated a chargeability anomaly greater at than 50MV/V at its core which is open at depth. The area was the focus of four (4) core holes that proposed to intersect the chargeability anomaly longitudinally and at depth. A two-meter sample at 120 m depth had a grade of 716 g / t Silver and 0.453% Copper was intersected in hole 3 on the figure below.
Figure 1: Locations of 4 Proposed drill holes at the Chanchero target, relative to the outline/projected shape of the greater at than 50MV/V chargeability anomaly as defined by the 2008 3-D Induced Polarization survey.
The ‘Cobalt’ zone is an AI generated target Gold anomaly that occurs along a pronounced structure and is located along strike from existing shallow artisanal gold workings. A single core hole was orientated to intersect the structure at depth below the projected level of the adjacent historical workings. No material results were generated at this target during the drilling.
