In our December 30 Interview with Loop Insights (MTRX:TSXV /  RACMF:OTCQB) CEO Rob Anson titled 2021 “A Year Of Major Growth and Expansion”, two quotes from him stood out above all:

When we look back at 2020 this time next year … what we’ve done is very little in my opinion to date.”

Wait … What?

“This year (2021) will see major growth and expansion …. We’re about to reap the rewards from all the groundwork and that is exciting to me … This will be our biggest year by a country mile”

Given the fact we had to do this interview on a Sunday due to Anson “putting in 100 work weeks” and “18-20 Zoom presentations per day”,  as well as, 4 pretty significant press releases in the first 2 weeks of 2021, Anson is living up to his word.

Moreover, in this interview, he shows no hesitation when asked if he still feels the same way about 2021.

Watch this great Sunday morning interview with Loop Insights Founder and CEO, Rob Anson.

Loop Insights $MTRX $RACMF Enters UK Market With Pilot Agreement For Leading UK Pharmacy Solutions Provider, Servicing 12,000 Pharmacies Across United Kingdom $AT.ca $QTRH.ca $SNSR $BSQR $PTS.ca

  • Announced the signing of a Pilot Agreement with PharmAssist Solutions to implement Loop’s analytics platform into multiple independent pharmacy affiliated locations.
  • Pharmassist is an independent pharmacy solutions provider that serves 15% of the UK market with 12,000 independent pharmacies.
  • Upon successful completion of the Pilot, it is the intention of both parties to implement Loop’s artificial intelligence-driven analytics platform across all 12,000 pharmacies in the United Kingdom.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2021 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV)(RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights, enhanced customer engagement, and automated contact tracing to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the signing of a Pilot Agreement with PharmAssist Solutions (“ Pharmassist ”) to implement Loop’s analytics platform into multiple independent pharmacy affiliated locations.

OPPORTUNITY FOR FULL IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS 12,000 LOCATIONS

Pharmassist is an independent pharmacy solutions provider that serves 15% of the UK market with 12,000 independent pharmacies. Upon successful completion of the Pilot, it is the intention of both parties to implement Loop’s artificial intelligence-driven analytics platform across all 12,000 pharmacies in the United Kingdom.

Pharmassist Managing Director Amar Randhawa stated, “Loop Insights data analytics solution is a game-changer for independent pharmacies here in the UK. PharmAssist Solutions has been integral to the success of the independent chain, and adding Loop’s ability to understand transaction details, shopping behaviors and habits, trends, and other powerful pieces of information once thought lost, will provide a massive benefit to each individual pharmacy. Understanding what products have been sold and prescribed gives these independents the ability to offer personal, relevant, and adjacent over the counter products to consumers, increasing sales, and delivering a more personal experience in-store. We are excited to be the first solutions provider in the UK market to offer this, and expect great uptake of the solution to our growing customer base.”

INSIGHTS REVENUE MODEL PROVIDES POTENTIAL FOR $USD 28.8 MILLION IN ANNUAL REVENUES UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF PILOT

On November 4, 2020 , Loop announced it successfully completed a similar Pilot at 20 stores and was rolling out to all 550 retail locations of Your CBD Store . In that press release, the Company provided details with respect to its “Insights” pricing model including $USD 50 per month per till, with an average of 4 tills per retail location, which would equate to potential monthly recurring revenue of $USD 2,400,000 or $USD 28,800,000.

In addition, when the Company’s automated marketing “Engage” service and wallet pass loyalty applications are layered in, these numbers quickly multiply by 5-10x and provide the company with an even more significant potential revenue stream.

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated, “Signing this Pilot with Pharmassist in the very early days of 2021 serves as a strong indication of Loop’s anticipated penetration into the UK and European markets. Coupled with our recently announced LOI to acquire Passcreator and take control of our technology in anticipation of major business developments in 2021, I can unequivocally say that Loop is heading into a major growth phase as promised in our letter to shareholders at the end of 2020.”

Gratomic $GRAT.ca Address to Investors: Follow Up To January 12, 2021 Announcement $NGC.ca $LLG.ca $GPH.ca $NOU.ca $NMI.ca #TODAQ

Posted by AGORACOM at 4:12 PM on Wednesday, January 13th, 2021
  • As of today, and for the foreseeable future, graphite is the only viable material for the anode in this type of battery. 
  • Nearly all applications of Li-ion batteries use coated spherical graphite as the anode material.

Graphite is the material with the largest share in weight in Li-ion batteries amounting to up to 70% of the total battery weight, totalling between 5kg (hybrid electric vehicles) to 100kg (full electric vehicles) per vehicle.

Nevertheless, as the main appeal for electric vehicles versus traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles is their low environmental impact, the very fact that this key material’s supply chain generates negative environmental impact, is a roadblock for unlocking repressed demand. Therefore, the battery grade graphite that Gratomic expects to offer to the market with neglectable environmental footprint will be the perfect solution to allow the EV manufacturers to overcome this challenge.

Gratomic has already initiated contacts with battery manufacturers in different countries, in order to tailor the development of the uncoated spherical graphite according to each individual requirement.

The many upsides for Gratomic in this arrangement include (but are not limited to):

1.Timing!

  • TDN is currently up-listing to a prestigious Crypto trading platform in the USA! This is a great benefit to Gratomic because, as digital currencies gain strength, so too will Gratomic. This agreement has been negotiated from a position of strength as our agreement exists at an equivalent of $0.30 USD and TDN.

2.TDN is currently valued at an approximated $1.00 USD

  • as its recent contract with Webtoons has been negotiated at this price.

3.TODAQ is partnered with various notable and established companies

  • Hyundai, Visa, US Military,and many others, validating its solid foundation and future potential.

4.Todaq has also established long term relationships with the Saudi Arabian Government with their E-Waste Management systems. This contact is based on an $0.85 USD value.

5.Gratomic Inc. is also set to become the first companyto ever trade graphite as a commodity on a metals exchange!

6.Gratomic is following in the footsteps of BHP & Maersk,

  • Rolled out their own crypto networks to achieve the same end goal. A good breakdown to understanding the value of the TDN contract is as follows:
    • Gratomic receives 145 million TDNat $0.30 USD, while TDN is currently transacting at $1.00 USD,
    • addionally, this contract only represents 5% of Aukams Processing Capacity

Stay tuned for a more in-depth overview from Gratomic’s President and CEO, Mr. Arno Brand.

Gratomic $GRAT.ca Upgrades Pre-Purchase Agreement with Crypto Currency Company to Battery Grade Graphite for the EV Market $NGC.ca $LLG.ca $GPH.ca $NOU.ca $NMI.ca #TODAQ

Posted by AGORACOM at 9:58 AM on Tuesday, January 12th, 2021
  • New agreement between the Company and TODAQ to provide battery grade graphite SG16 for the EV Battery Market
  • TODAQ is proposed to receive an aggregate of graphite valued at US$25,000,000 from Gratomic’s Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia over a 36-month period in exchange for a non-cash digital asset created by TODAQ as a medium for exchange and store of value known as a TODA note

Gratomic Inc. (“Gratomic” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GRAT)(FRANKFURT:CB82)(WKN:A143MR)(OTCQB:CBULF) wishes to announce that it has upgraded its pre purchase agreement with technology company, TODAQ Star Program Phase 1 Corp.(“TODAQ“), a subsidiary of TODAQ Holdings Inc., pursuant to the terms of a new agreement dated January 7, 2020 between the Company and TODAQ (the “Supply Agreement“) to provide battery grade graphite SG16 for the EV Battery Market. TODAQ is proposed to receive an aggregate of graphite valued at US$25,000,000 from Gratomic’s Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia over a 36-month period in exchange for a non-cash digital asset created by TODAQ as a medium for exchange and store of value known as a TODA note (“TDN“). The Supply Agreement fulfillment has been negotiated at an exchange rate of USD$0.30 per TDN note.

The Supply Agreement contemplates that Gratomic will deliver, to TODAQ, 5,000 tonnes of SG16 product valued at USD$25 million under the terms of the agreement, over a 36-month period. TODAQ will put in an initial order of 1,800 tonnes, valued at USD $9 million, in exchange for 30,000,000 TDN, over the first 90-day period of the contract. The original agreement with TODAQ announced in the Press Release dated October 17, 2019, and referred to in the Press Release dated May 25, 2020, provided that the first 1800 tonnes of product would be purchased on the basis of an exchange rate of USD$0.10 per TDN with the balance being purchased at the market rate for TDN.

The Supply Agreement now fixes the value of the TDN notes at USD$0.30 for the purchase of the entire 5000 tonnes providing a fixed value and certainty for the Company. The first delivery date has not yet been established and will depend upon when the Company completes the construction of its processing plant at the Aukam Project in Namibia (see Press Release dated December 31, 2020 for an update on the status of the processing facility). When the Company is ready to deliver the SG16 product to TODAQ, it will inform TODAQ. TODAQ will then submit a purchase order for an initial 600 tonnes of product valued at $3 million and TODAQ will issue 10 million TDN to the Company. The Company will have 90 days thereafter to deliver the product to an on-site warehouse at the Aukam Property under the control of TODAQ which will constitute good delivery for the product. The Company intends to hold onto any TDN received for a minimum six months after which it will start liquidating the TDN into cash. See “Risk Factors” below.

As part of the Supply Agreement, both TODAQ and Gratomic will also be establishing a jointly owned entity, Q Corp, to hold an initial reserve of 60 million TDN to be used to build a treasury of commodities including graphite. As well, Q Corp will be provided with digital supply chain, custody, wallet and trading solutions by TODAQ USA, the digital solution provider of TODAQ, so Gratomic customers and graphite owners can own verifiably authentic and clean graphite which can be traded peer-to-peer and brought to exchange markets. Q Corp offers the option to Gratomic to trade excess production coming from its Aukam Processing facility to Q Corp.

Kontrol Energy (KNR:CSE) (KNRLF:OTCQB) is the Google NEST of smart building technology, with the Blue Chip client base to prove it.  As such, when COVID-19 started shutting down buildings, arenas and complexes, their announcement the Receipt Of Positive Lab Results for Live COVID-19 Testing was taken very seriously by the investment community, with the stock smashing through to all-time highs and consolidating nicely in the $3.00 range as investors prepares for mass commercialization.

Though some impatient “investors” unrealistically demanded immediate and big sales agreements for the BioCloud unit, priced at $US 12,000 EACH $KNR CEO Paul Ghezzi and his team know that real success comes from building a real foundation – and they did that in a mind boggling 5 months.  We’ve been in the smallcap business long enough to know that pulling off the following in 4 months is damn near impossible, until now:

DISTRIBUTION – On December 1, 2020 KNR announced Entering into Exclusive Distribution Agreement with United Safety and Survivability Corporation for BioCloud Technology Distribution in North America, Australia and New Zealand. The exclusivity applies to the industries defined as buses, rail and locomotive, subways, ambulances, fire trucks, first responder and military vehicles, with applicable associated facilities in the geography of North America , Australia , and New Zealand . The exclusivity period is 12 months with a six month mutual renewal option and is based on 5,000 units of BioCloud per annum, on a best efforts basis, to retain exclusivity. Pricing will not be disclosed for industry competitive purposes. 

In addition, KNR has also entered into two non-exclusive BioCloud distribution agreements covering Ontario and Saskatchewan.

MORE GOVERNMENT FUNDING –  On December 3rd, 2020 the Company announced that it had received an additional $500,000 in research and development funding from the Canadian Federal Government.  This comes after a $50,000 grant earlier this year.  

PATENTS FILED  – On November 30, 2020 KNR announced the filing of 4 patents for the BioCloud technology with 3 patents filed in the USA and 1 patent in Canada .

MANUFACTURING –  KNR has engaged OES Inc. a local design and contract manufacturer in London, Ontario to produce the BioCloud units.  OES Inc. has a long and established history of assisting with the design and manufacturing of complex technology. Initial maximum capacity has been set at 10,000 units per month.

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)

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

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 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.

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
