Yesterday, the Company announced a major milestone with this press release HPQ Gen1 Nano Silicon Reactor Exceeds Phase 1 Production Rate Target By 67%

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

“Once the final equipment modifications are completed, the goal of the program will be to produce qualified samples which will then be tested by a third-party, the Institut National de Recherche Scientifique (INRS), and subsequently to awaiting battery manufacturers and automobile manufacturers.”

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

“It is even more exciting when one considers the impact this could have on addressing the challenges facing the EV battery space.”

VIDEO – Cardiol Therapeutics $CRDL.ca $CRTPF is a Clinical-Stage Biotech Firm taking on the $30BN Heart Disease Healthcare Market via Cannabidiols and Cutting-Edge Anti-Inflammatory Therapies

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:23 PM on Thursday, April 22nd, 2021

Cardiol Therapeutics $CRDL.ca $CRTPF is a groundbreaking, clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing innovative anti-inflammatory therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (heart/blood vessels).

  • The company has received approval from the U.S. FDA to commence a Phase II/III, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial investigating the efficacy and safety of its lead clinical product, CardiolRx™, in treating hospitalized COVID-19 patients with a prior history of, or risk factors for, cardiovascular disease (CVD).
  • CardiolRx™ is an ultra-pure, high concentration cannabidiol oral formulation that is pharmaceutically produced, manufactured under cGMP and THC free.

Cardiol is also planning a Phase II international trial of CardiolRx™ in acute myocarditis, a condition caused by inflammation in heart tissue, most common cause of sudden cardiac death in people under 35.

The company is also developing proprietary cannabidiol formulations for the treatment of chronic heart failure.

One such key development is its commercial product, Cortalex™, an extra-strength formulation (100 mg/mL concentration) of cannabidiol oil that is pharmaceutically produced to be free of THC. Cardiol believes Cortalex™ to be the purest form of cannabidiol oil available in Canada.

It is the first THC-free extra-strength formulation of cannabidiol oil available across Canada exclusively online at Medical Cannabis by Canada’s largest pharmacy retailer, Shoppers Drugs Mart.

  • In March 2020, Cardiol signed a supplier agreement to become a medical cannabidiol supplier to Shoppers Drug Mart. The retailer will supply Cardiol’s pharmaceutical cannabidiol products to Shoppers for sale in all provinces and territories in Canada through Shoppers’ online store, Medical Cannabis by Shoppers.

And there’s plenty more to write home about:

  • ~ $27M from exercise of warrants + equity raise since June 2020
  • Uplisting to NASDAQ
  • Team expansion with Chief Medical Officer hire

David Elsley, Cardiol Therapeutics’ President & CEO, gives us the low-down. Check it out:

VIDEO – POET Technologies $PTK.ca $POETF Enters $200M Market For Long Reach Optical Engines With Advanced Customer Discussions

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:16 PM on Thursday, April 22nd, 2021

When 99.8% of investors read the headline to this press release, you couldn’t blame them for not understanding what it meant or how important it is to the future of POET Technologies

 POET Technologies Announces Entry into Telecom Market with 100G LR4 (Long Reach) Optical Engines

But this is the great thing about AGORACOM Beyond The Press Release, which provides investors with a layman’s understanding of both the importance of the technology and its importance to the bottom line of $PTK …. and they are both very important. 

A couple of things we can say that all investors would understand are the following:

  • The addressable market for this product (100G LR4 Transceiver) is ~ $USD 200 Million per year.
  • POET believes it can capture a very meaningful percentage of this market.  
  • A 100G LR4 transceiver sells for about 2X to 3X the price of status quo products but delivers significantly better performance
  • POET’s product significantly reduces the cost of the optical engine allowing it to provide a savings to customers in the range of 25%
  • This 25% savings to customers often means the difference for viability
  • POET has design an optical engine that uses 10% to 15% less power to deliver data at the same speed and over the same distance as comparable modules
  • From a capital markets point or view, the Company’s NASDAQ uplisting plan is progressing on schedule.
  • POET believes it will provide large US investors with the further de-risking they have requested in 2020

You don’t have to be a computer scientist to understand the value of all these points. But you do have to watch this powerful interview in its entirety to understand the big picture.

Watch this powerful interview with David Gandini, Chairman & Chief Revenue Officer SOBR Safe (SOBR: OTCQB) as he demonstrates the practical application of the SOBRCheck device and it’s profound implications in the workplace. 

With SOBRCheck, employers are able to ensure their employees and general public are safe from alcohol related “accidents” where costs are measured in lives.

“Nearly 50% of industrial injuries and fatalities are alcohol related.  Commercial Fleets suffer from over 11,000 alcohol related accidents every year.  That rate is climbing and technology has failed to keep pace with this epidemic”  

If you have ever wondered why a technology can’t be created to prevent the senseless amount of deaths and injuries every year on our roads and workplace you are not alone. SOBRSafe is doing something great about it and everyone should take the time to absorb the positive change possible by watching this interview.

Durango $DGO.ca $ATOXF Applies for Discovery Property Drill Permits in Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt $TRG.ca $KLD.ca $OSK.ca

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:40 AM on Wednesday, April 21st, 2021

Durango Resources Inc. (TSXV:DGO) (Frankfurt-86A1) (OTC:ATOXF), (the “Company” or “Durango”) reports that further to the news of April 1, 2021, Durango has applied for drill permits on its wholly owned Discovery property.

Durango’s Discovery (Découverte) Property is located on strike to the southwest of the past producing Troilus gold mine owned by Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus”) (TSX-TLG) and neighbours UrbanGold Minerals Inc. (TSXV-UGM). https://www.durangoresourcesinc.com/_resources/images/Discovery-Property-April-2021.jpg  

The Discovery Property is 6,700ha in size and covers an important geological NE-SW regional structure which continues towards Troilus. The Property has great road access from the Route du Nord and is easily accessible due to the unusually warm spring weather conditions. Durango has applied for 15 exploration drill holes on the Discovery property for the 2021 exploration season.

Durango’s technical team is in the process of preparing an exploration program for the Discovery Property in June 2021, after it completes its exploration program at Windfall Lake and will announce the plans in more detail as they become available.

Durango CEO, Marcy Kiesman, stated, “Durango’s previous grab samples returned up to 7 g/t gold at surface on the Discovery property in a quartz vein in basalt. We look forward to receiving our permits so we can conduct follow up work on the Discovery property this summer.”

The technical contents of this press release were approved by George Yordanov, professional geologist, an Independent Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. The Discovery Property has not yet been subject to an NI-43-101 report.

Discovery (Découverte), Québec

Durango owns 100% interest in the Discovery claims, which are adjacent Osisko Mining Inc. (TSX-OSK) and are 60km away from Troilus Gold Inc.’s past producing mine. The claims are located 100km away from Chibougamau, Québec in the Frotet Evans greenstone belt with year-round road access from the Route Nord. The 6,700-hectare property is compelling due to the structurally important south dipping synclinal fold nose deformed by a northwest fault zone and northeast structures.
