About Silicon

Silicon (Si), also known as silicon metal, is one of today’s strategic materials needed to fulfil the Renewable Energy Revolution (“RER”) presently under way. Silicon does not exist in its pure state; it must be extracted from quartz (SiO2), in what has historically been a capital and energy intensive process.

About HPQ Silicon

HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ) is a Canadian producer of Innovative Silicon Solutions, based in Montreal,  building a portfolio of unique high value specialty silicon products needed for the coming RER.

Working with PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX-V: PYR), a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma – based processes, HPQ is developing:

  • The PUREVAP™ “Quartz Reduction Reactors” (QRR), an innovative process (patent pending), which will permit the one step transformation of quartz (SiO2) into high purity silicon (Si) at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint that will propagate its considerable renewable energy potential;
       °  HPQ believes it will become the lowest cost (Capex and Opex) producer of silicon (Si) and high purity silicon metal (3N – 4N Si);
  • The PUREVAP™ Nano Silicon Reactor (NSiR), a new proprietary process that can use different purities of silicon (Si) as feedstock, to make spherical silicon nanopowders and nanowires;
       °  HPQ believes it can also become the lowest cost manufacturer of spherical Si nanopowders and silicon-based composites needed by manufacturers of next-generation lithium-ion batteries;
       °  During the coming months, spherical Si nanopowders and nanowires silicon-based composite samples requested by industry participants and research institutions’ will be produced using PUREVAP™ SiNR.

HPQ is also working with industry leader Apollon Solar of France to:

  • Use their patented process and develop a capability to produce commercially porous silicon (Si) wafers and porous silicon (Si) powders;
       °  The collaboration will allow HPQ to become the lowest cost producer of porous silicon wafers for all-solid -state batteries and porous silicon powders for Li-ion batteries.
       °  The plan is to deliver porous Si wafer to a battery manufacturer (under NDA) for testing in 2020.

This News Release is available on the company’s CEO Verified Discussion Forum, a moderated social media platform that enables civilized discussion and Q&A between Management and Shareholders.

http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/DM%20square.png
  • Announced that the Company has submitted a Medical Devices Interim Order Request Form to approve PCL, Inc.’s COV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits to Health Canada
  • Application is made under IO Respecting the Importation and Sale of Medical Devices for Use in Relation to COVID-19 pursuant to subsection 30.1(1) of the Food and Drugs Act signed by the Minister of Health on August 24, 2020, for PCLCOV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits.

TORONTO, Sept. 01, 2020 – Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF ) is pleased to announce that the Company has submitted a Medical Devices Interim Order (“IO”) Request Form to approve PCL, Inc.’s (“PCL”) COV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits to Health Canada.

This application is made under IO Respecting the Importation and Sale of Medical Devices for Use in Relation to COVID-19 pursuant to subsection 30.1(1) of the Food and Drugs Act signed by the Minister of Health on August 24, 2020, for PCLCOV05 COVID19 Rapid Antigen Detection Kits. This IO will allow Health Canada to issue expedited review and approval for the sale of these test kits in Canada.

The Company has represented to Health Canada that it will be able to provide a minimum first order of 200,000, followed by an additional 200,000 units on a weekly basis. Any purchase of the test kits by the Canadian government is conditional on prior receipt of Health Canada approval.

These test kits are suitable for point of care tests. No extra equipment is needed. They are simple to use and results are available in 10 minutes.

“According to the manufacturer, PCL, this test can detect antigens of COVID-19 from a swab in the nose and throat to provide results in 5-10 minutes with over 86% accuracy,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex. “These almost-instant kits can be easily used at home. With the rise of cases in the United States and throughout the world, we at Datametrex believe it is critical to test and protect.”

View the PCL Antigen test manual video by clicking the link: PCL COVID-19 ANTIBODY TEST – COV0

According to PCL the clinical sensitivity (confirmed the actual positive of the approved person where approved person tested positive with a PCR nucleic test) is 86.49% and the clinical specificity (confirmed the actual negative of the negative person where the negative person tested negative with a PCR nucleic test) is 97.87%*. Early detection using rapid tests will also provide further protection to Canada’s front-line workers, especially health care professionals.

The following certifications have been awarded to these PCL Antigen Test Kits: CE Certificate, Korea KPMG, FIND Listed, UNGM Supplier. Countries includes the EU, 2 countries in the Middle East- Qatar and UAE, India, Russia, 3 countries in Latin America- Guatemala, Ecuador, and Colombia.

The PCL Inc Antigen Detection kit has the CE Certificate meaning that the manufacturer and products have met EU declaration of standards for health, safety, and environmental protection, allowing this product to be sold within the 22 countries in the European Economic Area.

Health Canada must approve these COVID-19 test kits before they can be used in Canada. The Company plans to sell these kits in all countries where the kits have been approved for sale. Datametrex anticipates that it will have little or no upfront costs associated with importing these test kits. Assuming Health Canada approves the test kits and they are subsequently purchased by the Canadian government, manufacturer will ship the test kits directly to the Canadian government or hospitals, and Datametrex will not be involved in the shipping, warehousing or distribution process.

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:06 AM on Tuesday, September 1st, 2020

Empower intends to acquire Kai Medical Laboratory, a state-of-the-art diagnostics laboratory located in the medical district of Dallas, TX to advance COVID-19 national testing programs

  • Entered into a non-binding term sheet to acquire the business of Kai Medical Laboratory, LLC, by way of a share or asset acquisition, subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions
  • Kai Medical Laboratory is a high-complexity CLIA and COLA accredited Laboratory that provides reliable and accurate testing solutions to hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies, and employer groups
  • Kai Medical Laboratory offers a wide array of testing services ranging from hematology to hormone testing, endocrinology, toxicology, and immunology

VANCOUVER, BC / September 1, 2020 / EMPOWER CLINICS INC. (CSE:CBDT) (Frankfurt:8EC) (OTCQB:EPWCF) (“Empower” or the “Company“) today announces it has entered into a non-binding term sheet to acquire the business of Kai Medical Laboratory, LLC (“Kai Medical Laboratory“), by way of a share or asset acquisition, subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions.

Kai Medical Laboratory is a high-complexity CLIA and COLA accredited Laboratory that provides reliable and accurate testing solutions to hospitals, medical clinics, pharmacies, and employer groups. Kai Medical Laboratory offers a wide array of testing services ranging from hematology to hormone testing, endocrinology, toxicology, and immunology. These tests are done under the supervision of its well-qualified and highly experienced scientists, medical professionals, and pharmacists. https://www.kaimedicallaboratory.com

Kai Medical Laboratory has taken an active role in COVID-19 testing, battling the pandemic through RT-PCR testing and serology testing. While the RT-PCR test identifies if a patient has an active virus, the serology or antibody test detects if a patient has previously been exposed to the virus. Both of these test results are vital to managing outbreaks and the potential spread of coronavirus.

To further assist with COVID-19 testing, Kai Medical Laboratory has also developed two key programs in Texas and Arizona. The first program is a direct-to-consumer program that leverages the ability of various healthcare providers to order and administer both the RT-PCR test and the Antibody test. This increases the ability of the general population to be tested, in certain circumstances. The second is an Employer COVID-19 Compliance Program (ECCP) for business owners and employer groups to enable them to test and monitor their employees.

Texas program https://www.testtexasnow.com

Arizona program https://www.covidtest2u.com

Currently the lab has the capacity to complete in excess of 2,000 RT-PCR tests in one eight-hour shift by utilizing its Thermo Fisher QuantStudio 12k Flex testing machine. The lab also utilizes a Roche Cobas 6000 for COVID-19 Antibody testing, ensuring that Kai Medical Laboratory has the capability and capacity to serve a broad range of clients and test methods.

“Adding Kai Medical Laboratory to the Empower Clinics family enables us to dramatically expand COVID-19 testing capability and deliver phase four of our national rollout plan” said Steven McAuley, Empower’s Chairman & CEO. “Kai Medical has a newly built high-complexity lab offering a wide array of testing services, that together we will leverage to serve the massive demand for national COVID testing in the U.S. Further, as flu season arrives and a potential second-wave of COVID takes hold, the technical infrastructure of Kai Medical allows Empower to capture testing demand and the additional growth revenues associated with it.”

The driving force behind Kai Medical Laboratory’s remarkable growth and success is Yoshi Tyler. Yoshi has a passion for being an entrepreneur, and overtime, she found her true calling in healthcare. Driven by this interest, she pursued her career in the healthcare industry for more than two decades. She helmed leadership positions at a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company for over thirteen years.

Our mission is to change healthcare through science & innovative quality care by providing value-added services, accuracy, and consistency.

TORONTO, ON / August 31, 2020 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR)(OTCQB:KNRLF)(FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or “Company”) a leader in the energy efficiency sector through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology announces its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

A complete set of Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion & Analysis will be filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on August 31, 2020. A call to discuss the financial results has been scheduled for Monday, August 31, 2020 at 4:30pm (EST). See details below.

“In Q2 2020 we were able to navigate the complex business challenges presented by COVID-19 and make important strategic advances while maintaining positive EBITDA and cash flow from operations,” says Paul Ghezzi, CEO. “This environment has made it challenging to gain access to customer sites for projects; however, our recurring revenue and service platform have performed very well. In addition, we initiated the development of the Kontrol BioCloud, a new technology designed to detect and alert for the COVID-19 virus. We continue to fund all BioCloud development through internal cash generation. Kontrol does not need to raise capital to operate its business.”

Subsequent to the second quarter end, the Company completed the acquisition of New Found Air (“NFA”) – a building service and solutions company. The operations of NFA are in the process of being merged with Kontrol’s existing platform. NFA expands Kontrol’s building footprint and provides an established customer base with a potential significant cross-selling platform for Kontrol’s smart building technology.

Q2 2020 Financial Summary

Strengthened Financial Position

Kontrol continues to focus on strengthening its Balance Sheet. The Company’s cash position at the end of Q2 is approximately $1.8 Million. During the second quarter of 2020 the Company announced the commencement of a non-brokered private placement (with an exchange of units) of up to $5.8 million principal amount 8% unsecured (and non-convertible) debentures maturing on October 31, 2022. The Company intends to allocate up to $5.8 million of the units for issuance to holders of 2020 debenture units who wish to exchange their 2020 debenture units for units in the offering. The Company anticipates that the majority of unitholders will exchange their units in the months of September and October.

The Company closed the first tranche of non-brokered private placement for 2023 Convertible Debenture Proceeds in the second quarter of net $1.05 million and an additional approximate $900,000 subsequent to the second quarter. The completion of the financing was primarily allocated to the closing of the NFA acquisition

FY 2020 Outlook

The Company continues to strategically focus on the growth of its recurring revenues. With the recently completed acquisition of NFA and the existing customer base, approximately 30% of all revenues are now recurring. The Company’s goal is to drive recurring revenues towards 50% of all total revenues by the end of 2021.

While there appears to be a general improvement with site access to customer facilities there is also ongoing uncertainty presented by COVID-19 travel restrictions and self-quarantine. These conditions make it difficult to forecast project revenues and provide any guidance. Any previous guidance will be retracted, and the Company will continue to provide ongoing reporting and announce larger project revenues as they are generated.

Kontrol BioCloud

The Company is developing its BioCloud technology and has a achieved a number of significant milestones, including the initial funding from the Government, positive testing of the detection mechanism, and positive testing of the BioCloud fully operational prototype. The Company seeks to complete testing with the live COVID-19 virus during the week of August 31 and will provide those results when available. The Company’s objective is to have BioCloud commercially available to potential customers in 2020. There is no assurance that the Company can achieve this internal goal.

About Kontrol BioCloud

BioCloud is a real-time analyzer developed to detect airborne viruses. It has been designed to operate as a safe space technology by sampling the air quality over time. With a proprietary detection chamber that can be replaced as needed, viruses are detected, and an alert system is created in the Cloud or over local intranet. BioCloud has been designed for spaces where individuals gather including classrooms, retirement homes, hospitals, mass transportation and others. It can be an important technology which supports the entire system of individual testing and contact tracing.

The Company is not making any express or implied claims that its product has the ability to eliminate, cure or contain the COVID-19 (or SARS-2 Coronavirus) at this time.

* Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IRFS financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, amortization, and depreciation, share based compensation, and acquisition related expenses.

AGORACOM Welcomes FansUnite $FANS.ca The Small Cap iGaming Super Company $DKNG $PENN $GAN $ESPO $AESE $EGLX.ca $BRAG.ca $FDM.ca

The global online gambling market could potentially hit $1 TRILLION by the end of this decade.  That is not a typo and the obvious reasons include the following:

1.  Exponential growth in the number of people online.  Yet only 59% of the world means more to come. 

2.  Fast growth in the number of countries and jurisdictions legalizing gambling to collect tax revenue.

3.  Explosive growth in gambling options beyond casino and sports betting.  Fantasy, Esports, etc.

Until recently, however, small-cap investors did not have a company that could provide them ground floor exposure to this massive market and its growth over the next 10 years.  The industry was dominated by the big traditional gambling companies, who focus heavily on old fashioned gambling. 

That all changes with FansUnite, the small cap iGaming super company that goes beyond simple gambling and attacks both sides of the iGaming market by offering:

B2C (Business To Consumer)          Gambling platforms that provide services directly to gamblers

B2B (Business To Business) Gambling technology for companies that already have gamblers

The formation of this iGaming super company became a reality when FansUnite acquired Askott Entertainment recently, the highlights of which are as follows:  

  • $27,000,000 Acquisition
  • Over $350,000,000 In Total Bets
  • Over 300,000 Registered Users
  • Rare combination of B2C + B2B Gambling In Small Cap
    • B2C – 4 Platforms
    • B2B –  4 Deals Signed; 2 Are Already Live
  • Askott has integrated over over 6,000 Casino Games Onto Platform
  • $5,000,000 financing closed in support of acquisition
  • World renowned team

For those of you who don’t know what Esports is, it can easily be described as the professionalization of video games.  Whereas video game players were once stereotyped as basement dwelling geeks, today’s top esports players and teams make millions of dollars competing in online tournaments that are watched by millions of people around the world …. 520,000,000 to be exact.

If you think that number is astounding, consider the fact it will grow to 650,000,000 by 2022.

To put the size of esports into perspective, by 2021, esports is projected to have more viewers than every major sports league in the world except the NFL.

….. AND THEY GAMBLE ….A  LOT!

Esports revenues from betting are set to hit record highs in 2020, with revenues expected to double from $7 billion in 2019 to $14 billion, due in no small part to the Covid-19 crisis.

With this massive market up for grabs, the acquisition of Askott provides FANS with a strong opportunity to capture meaningful market share thanks to the following:

  • Recognized globally as a leader and pioneer in esports betting technology
  • Launch of the first ever daily fantasy site dedicated to esports
  • First esports betting site to receive an Isle of Man gaming license in 2017
  • Shortlisted by EGR Magazine for the Esports Betting Supplier of the Year Award.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAMING AND GAMBLING?

The main difference between the terms is that for gaming the outcome is achieved by skill, not chance, whereas for gambling, the opposite is true

Savvy investors know that lot of smart money is now funneling into forward-thinking companies that are fulfilling an immediate need to provide real world solutions to identity fraud and creating value through data validation.
