VIDEO – After Record Q3 and YTD Results, Datametrex $DM.ca $DTMXF Starts 2021 With 23,000 #COVID Test Sales To Film Industry For ~ $4M $PFM.ca $VQS.ca $SPOT.ca $ADK.ca

Datamerex (DM:TSXV) has the rare benefit that most small cap companies would only dream of …. 2 successful independent divisions that are each capable of being a company maker. 

The first division is their Artificial Intelligence driven social media monitoring and discovery product … and this isn’t some basic social media monitoring tool for keywords. Clients include Canadian Federal Government, DRDC, Health Canada, United States Air Force and LOTTE (a $2.6B South Korean multinational conglomerate.

As a result of the highest level security clearances required to do this level of work, Datametrex was well positioned with deep roots in South Korea to add their second, though unintended division of COVID-19 test kit distribution.  Again, this isn’t some small cap stretch trying to capitalize on a trend for the sake of stock promotion. Rather, when the Canadian Government came calling for assistance in importing and distributing COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex stepped up to the task thanks to its security clearances already in place in both countries.

Since then, the company has signed multiple multi-million dollar COVID-19 test kit supply agreements with mining companies, a $20M CAD agreement with the television and film industry and various educational institutions.  

As a result, Datametrex has had its’ best year ever in the first 3 quarters of 2020 as follows:

  • Record revenue of $7.6 million for the nine-month 2020 period compared to $2.6 in 2019
  • Record revenue of $4.9 million was generated in Q3
  • First ever positive EBIDTA quarter

If that wasn’t enough, they started off 2021 by announcing the following:

  • Sold over 23,000 onsite tests for the film industry at locations in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver for the months of October through December 2020. This represents approximately $4,000,000 CAD in top-line revenue for Q4
  • Datametrex Providing COVID-19 Testing for Air Canada Front-Line and Inflight Employees
  • Binding LOI to acquire 100% of Concierge Medical Consultant Inc. a private telehealth and medical concierge services company currently generating revenue through a direct-to-consumer subscription model

Watch this powerful interview with CEO Marshall Gunter to discuss the year that was … and why he’s so optimistic about 2021.

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:04 AM on Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Most of us know drones as cool toys flying around the neighbourhood, 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 now testing ways to:

  • Use drones to provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • Use drones to collect crowd data.
  • ….. And there’s even a start-up that’s using drones to deliver tacos to your door.

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones (hardware) to data … and one company is already ahead of the shift … DraganFly (DFLY: CSE) (DFLYF:OTCQB) (3U8:FSE)

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:

  •  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 

Most recently, DFLY’s Vital Intelligence technology was selected for implementation by Knightscope, a leader in a leader in autonomous robot security capabilities.  

With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why CEO Chell believes DFLY will become one of the top 3 drone companies in the world and why they have now begun the process of listing on NASDAQ.

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

VIDEO – As The Use Of Drones Prepares To Go Parabolic, Draganfly $DFLY.ca $DFLYF CEO Says “I’ll Build The Company Into One of The Top Three Largest Drone Companies In The World” $FLT.ca $UAVS $ALPP

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:22 PM on Sunday, January 10th, 2021

Most of us know drones as cool toys flying around the neighbourhood, 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 now testing ways to:

  • Deliver vaccines with drones. 
  • Use drones to provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • Use drones to collect data.
  • Use drones to detect infectious conditions from a distance of 190 feet.
  • ……  And there’s even a start-up that’s using drones to deliver tacos to your door. 

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones (hardware) to data … and one company is already ahead of the shift … DraganFly (DFLY: CSE) (DFLYF:OTCQB) (3U8:FSE)

  • 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
  • Shooting down “smuggler” drone carrying 28lbs of heroin
  • Developing Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)

  • Australian Federal Police, 
  • Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 
  • Illinois State Police, 
  • Shell
  • Dow 

Most recently, DFLY was selected by the US Department of Agriculture to do phenotyping and other related data collection and analysis. Draganfly drones are important within the agriculture industry as they support evidence-based crop, health, planning and spatial data collection. These tools and technologies can provide valuable data that can then be used to influence policies and decisions.

With respect to development of the vaccine drone delivery system above, DFLY was selected by Coldchain Technology Services, a Leading Vaccine Supply Chain Management Company to the US Government to Provide Vaccine Payload System and Flight Services for the COVID-19 Vaccine.

And last but not least was the issuance of a delivery drone patent – which sounds like no big deal until you understand how it is a GAME CHANGER for the entire drone delivery market.
