Gratomic Inc. (“GRAT” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GRAT)(FSE:CB81)(WKN:A143MR)(OTCQB:CBULF) is pleased to announce that it has applied to trade its graphite product M97 on a technology metals trading platform that will provide global institutional liquidity in a number of US proclaimed critical metals products including graphite. Product M97 is a grade of graphite that Gratomic is developing and testing as a suitable product for battery grade graphite. The metals exchange, which must remain unnamed until its own launch in the first quarter of 2021, has impeccable corporate governance, and regulatory credentials. The metals exchange is headquartered in the UK and boasts strategic support from a leading globally known securities trading platform. That company provides full security to the underlying stock, in the manner of other international commodities exchanges.
Gratomic has been developing Product M97 from Graphite process in its pilot plant at its Aukam Property and its analysis to date indicates that the grade of graphite can be obtained once its Aukam processing plant is operating. Product M97 will not be listed for trading until the metals exchange is satisfied with the specifications of the product, has accepted Product M97 for trading and sufficient quantities of the product are available for trading.
“In the history of mining or commodity trading, commodities have almost always excelled in their availability for institutional buying on both Wall Street and Bay Street. This step to ultimately institutionalize graphite as a commodity demonstrates the Gratomic team’s ingenuity and advanced thinking,” commented Arno Brand, President & CEO of Gratomic Inc.
“Being ahead of the competition on all aspects of the business is in the DNA of the Gratomic team. Having graphite traded in a similar manner to copper and gold will give our shareholders more transparency about commercial processes. Our unique carbon coded, environmentally friendly graphite is intended to add a brand-new, clean commodity class to the graphite marketplace.” commented COO & Head of Graphite Marketing and Sales, Armando Farhate.
Gratomic wishes to emphasize that no Preliminary Economic Analysis (“PEA”), Preliminary Feasibility Study or Feasibility Study has been completed to support any level of production. In fact no mineral resources, let alone mineral reserves demonstrating economic viability and technical feasibility, have been delineated on the Aukam Property.
The Company appointed Dr. Ian Flint to complete a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on the Aukam Processing plant. The study, its recommendations, and their subsequent implementation, will provide conclusions and recommendation at a PEA level of comfort relating to the scale up of the existing processing plant to a commercial scale processing facility that will provide the desired concentrate grades and production rates. A preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.
Gratomic wishes to emphasize that the supply of graphite to trade on the metals exchange referred to in this Press Release is conditional on Gratomic being able to bring the Aukam project into a production phase, and for any graphite being produced to meet certain technical and mineralization requirements. Gratomic continues to move its business towards production and as part of its business plan, expects to obtain a National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects technical report to help it ascertain the economics of the Aukam project.
Risk Factors No mineral resources, let alone mineral reserves demonstrating economic viability and technical feasibility, have been delineated on the Aukam Property. The Company is not in a position to demonstrate or disclose any capital and/or operating costs that may be associated with the processing plant.
The Company advises that it has not based its production decision on even the existence of mineral resources let alone on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit.
Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that production will begin as anticipated or at all or that anticipated production costs will be achieved.
Failure to commence production would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenue and cash flow to fund operations. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flow and future profitability.
About Gratomic Inc. Established in 2014, Gratomic is an advanced materials company focused on low-cost mine to market commercialization of carbon-neutral, Eco-friendly, high purity vein graphite and is set to become a key player in EV and Renewable Resource supply chains. Gratomic Inc. is a leader among peers, anticipating full operational capabilities in late 2020 and aiming to transition to an open pit operation as early as the end of 2021.
Gratomic is in the process of solidifying its development plans for micronization and spheronization of its clean Aukam graphite. This significant milestone is a small, additional step in the Company’s existing Eco-friendly processing cycle and will allow its naturally high purity graphite to meet ideal North American battery grade standards for use in Li-ion battery anodes.
The Company promises to deliver mine-to-market traceability and guaranteed quality control. This will be accomplished by providing documented tracking on all graphite generated at its flagship Aukam Graphite Project. The tracking will begin at Aukam and will be verified at every stage during transport.
Two off-take purchase agreements are currently held for lump-vein graphite sourced from Gratomic’s Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia, Africa. Fulfillment of the contracts is slated to begin in 2021. The agreements exist with TODAQ and Phu Sumika.
TODAQ is an innovative tech company and will partner with Gratomic on its mine-to-market commodity tracking.
Phu Sumika is a large global graphite supplier to battery and lubrication companies.

OTTAWA, ON / December 31, 2020 /betterU Education Corp. (TSXV:BTRU)(FSE:5OGA) (the “Company” or “betterU”) is pleased to provide an update on the development of the Company and the advances made over this last year. The following is a summary of the updates and agreements closed with individual press releases to follow in the new year.
Announced early 2020, betterU launched their beta version of their Enterprise SaaS Skills Development Platform called ‘Ready-To-Go’. While the Company was also impacted by the pandemic and many deals slowed in their development, betterU continued to push forward with Ready-To-Go and the beta clients with great success. The Company has advanced the platform from approximately 300 hosted courses in early 2020 to now over 3,700 courses across 200 categories. Combined with 800+ job role and 1,000+ subject based assessments, operating through a robust Learning Management System, betterU’s Ready-To-Go platform has gained a lot of interest around the world as the easiest all-in-one corporate solution for skills development and helping support job readiness.
While betterU’s beta program took a little longer to advance due to the slowdown in the market, the feedback from their clients provided valuable insight into finalizing a scalable, flexible, customizable, adaptable, multilingual solution that supports not only companies and governments, but also students, employees, underemployed and unemployed.
“I am so proud of the dedication and hard work of our team, board, advisors and partners that have worked closely with myself and betterU over this year to accomplish all that we have considering the circumstances. While there is still much work to do ahead of us, we now have proven solutions to achieve great results in 2021.” said Brad Loiselle, CEO betterU
In addition to the business update, the filing of the audited financial statements, MD&A and other related materials have been completed by the Company and DNTW and are in process to being made available on SEDAR. The delay in completion of the Audit was primary due to lack of responses from third-party confirmations with no material changes over last years audit. betterU is also currently working with their corporate legal team, Denton LLP and the Company’s Board of Directors to finalize the set-up of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) as well as working to ensure all disclosures are properly filed with TSXV and regulatory bodies to support trade resumption. The timelines and process are unknown at this time and the Company will provide updates after receiving notification from TSXV.
The following are the advancements that company has been making over 2020:
Unicaf and betterU execute strategic partnership and reseller agreement with plans to support thousands of students across Africa. Unicaf offers one of the most generous scholarship programmes available today having awarded so far over $100 million to more than 30,000 eligible applicants in 156 countries around the world. Full details of the partnership will be announced in January 2021.
NRCMand betterU execute strategic partnership and reseller agreement to support both business and the mass market of Morocco. NCRM, a subsidiary of MEDTECH Group, and 25 years focused on the technology industries include Banking, Retail and Governmental Operators. betterU and NRCM have already completely joint proposals for several government contracts and currently working on more. Full details of the partnership will be announced in January 2021.
Fuel Onlineand betterU execute strategic partnership and reseller agreement to support corporate skills development programs across 18 African countries. Fuel Online currently provides vocational training to over 200,000 people per week and the addition of betterU’s skills programs and platform will provide the next level of skills development programs. betterU will also be adding Fuel Online’s programs to their offering. Full details of the partnership will be announced in January 2021.
Paramount Staffing (USA) notified betterU on October 29th that they were selected as the only partner for skills development, with plans to develop a long-term partnership. In early 2020, Paramount Staffing, a $200+ Million people company and subsidiary of Proman, a $3 Billion staffing company headquartered in France, became one of betterU’s first beta customers for Ready-To-Go. Over the year, even during the constraints of the pandemic, betterU delivered top quality content, support and services. Paramount had been working with multiple learning providers that were inherited through their acquisitions over the years and decided after an extensive review that betterU was their partner of choice. Hear from their VP of Sales in this Video Testimonial. Full details of the opportunity will be announced in January 2021 as betterU and Paramount work to develop their combined 3-5 year plans.
betterU launched Skills Council of Canada (SSC)https://skillscouncil.ca/ to support a developing initiative to help upwards of 5,000 students across Canada to gain work experience and essential skills to be job ready. betterU’s brand SSC, will provide Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and skills development programs through betterU’s WIL+Skills platform with a core focus on Indigenous people and more vulnerable communities across Canada. betterU started their marketing and outreach campaigns October 2020 after receiving written approval from our collaborative partners. Outreach included connecting with Canadian educators, corporates, government, and Indigenous leaders, now with multiple partnership underway. Full details of this opportunity and associated partners will be announced in January 2021.
betterU’s beta skills program successful with Canada’s Positive Venture Group (PVG). betterU had curated multiple programs to be added to PVG’s branded platform which included over 200 learning paths focused on financial related jobs. PVG launched the first batch of courses for all employees which resulted with high reviews and success. Full details of the partnership growth will be announced in January 2021.
betterU launches their beta Reseller / Franchisee (Partners) program to support e-learning leaders looking to add Ready-To-Go to their own services or launch their own branded skills development platform, “powered by betterU”. The Partners model would enable those who already have a network of corporate partners or clients with the opportunity to support them in providing access to betterU’s thousands of courses, assessments, and a fully managed betterU service. betterU’s all-in-one skills platform has been developed to support scalability with a function that operates similar to a franchise. In order to grow betterU’s global reach, and network of sales partners, while ensuring betterU maintains control over the network, the Partners model is being tested. betterU is currently negotiating with possible Partners and full details of the partnership structure will be announced earlier 2021.
betterU established 100% owned operating entity, betterU Europe Ltd (“BEL”) in Dublin Ireland to help support developing opportunities for betterU across Africa and Europe.
betterU’s Corporate website is currently being updated with company advancements, programs, products and services. https://corporate.betteru.ca
betterU has many more growing opportunities in the pipeline including three completed RFPS for opportunities in the USA, Africa and Morocco. betterU has already been short listed for two of the RFPs and if successful will be announced. In addition, the Company has also received requests for additional strategic partnerships and resellers opportunities for organizations in Thailand, UAE and the USA.
The company has plans to increase their IR team to support more frequent public disclosures and business updates. Over this last year, betterU remained solely focused on the business to ensure the product pivot announced late 2019 was accomplishing the growth and validating the opportunity we expected would come.
“We were very pleased with the results achieved over this last year, despite the global challenges faced by many. Many companies local and abroad have been forced to close their doors, make pivots themselves to also overcome the challenges of this pandemic. betterU doubled down on our efforts to push forward for our shareholders and our vision. We thank all the people that have stayed supportive and we appreciate your patience. We are expecting great results and growth in 2021. Stay tuned!” said Brad Loiselle, CEO of betterU.

GRATOMIC CONTINUES TO REACH OUT TO GRAPHENE PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD
Gratomic Inc. continues to reach out to graphene partners around the world as its value-add focus. The company will continue to send graphite products to various potential graphene partners for evaluation and potential strategic alliances/joint ventures.
Perpetuus Carbon Technologies has received significant investment from Gratomic in the research and development of graphenes as a nanofiller material in tires, energy storage, polymers and carbon fibers. In the early stages, the results were staggering as presented in the company’s latest corporate presentation, released on Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2020.
Gratomic has also worked extensively on graphene-enhanced concrete fillers and graphite additive solutions into brick moulds. The research on this is continuous and is now finding its way into pilot testing at Aukam. The expected result Gratomic seeks to achieve from this additive to brick and concrete solutions is to create a superior concrete product that could potentially outlast its existing counterparts in the market.
The company endeavours to advance its Aukam graphite asset and has been focusing most of its resources on completing construction on the Aukam processing plant, while the development of its graphene-related activities continues at a more moderate pace.
Arno Brand, president and chief executive officer, said: “We believe the leading strategy for success in the graphene space is to partner with the most successful graphene producers in different applications, as they would have already perfected their processes in these areas. All successful companies must have a strategic and focused plan for growth. This is no different for Gratomic. Our world-class, versatile team has conscientiously planned every step and phase of the growth process in order to optimize value for shareholders over the life of the project.”
“Graphene will be a game-changing, advanced material and Gratomic has been focusing on the best graphite predecessor grade for this application,” commented Armando Farhate, chief operating officer and head of graphite marketing and sales.

The continuous emissions and BioCloud revenues are anticipated to be recorded in Q1 2021
TORONTO, ON / December 23, 2020 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR)(OTCQB:KNRLF)(FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or “Company“), a leader in smart buildings and cities through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology, is pleased to announce a $750,000 order for its continuous emissions business which includes BioCloudTM units and a separate initial order from one of Ontario’s largest Electricity Generators. The continuous emissions and BioCloud revenues are anticipated to be recorded in Q1 2021.
“We are very pleased to receive a significant order in our core business with a US manufacturing customer which also includes 2 BioCloud units as part of a package sale,” says Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol. “Our corporate strategy is to quote BioCloud units as part of all new sales opportunities from our core business. In addition, we are pleased that one of Ontario’s largest Electricity Generators has ordered an initial 2 units of BioCloud. Both customers have additional scale potential with numerous facilities. Our recent product launch and technology walk-through in December was a success and has initiated accelerating interest in how BioCloud can help create safer spaces.”
Distribution Orders
To date the Company has received 40 initial distribution orders for delivery in January from its existing distribution network. The Company has entered into 6 distribution agreements (1 exclusive and 5 non-exclusive) and is in negotiations for various potential additional non-exclusive distributions agreements. Distribution is a key part of our go to market strategy that can allow the Company to scale quickly.
“In a short period of time since the official launch of BioCloud in December we have received strong interest and numerous distribution requests,” says Gary Saunders, VP Kontrol. “We envision many more agreements across the globe as we focus on growing the BioCloud business.”
As the Company continues to build its distribution business, we anticipate that distributors will be required to maintain a minimum of 250-unit sales per annum to retain non-exclusivity and distributor pricing. The Company’s internal goal is to have 30 regional distributors established by the end of Q1 2021.
Customer Pilots
The Company plans to begin numerous pilots with both existing customers of Kontrol and new potential customers. The purpose of the pilots is to provide potential customers with various specific application use cases across their facilities. The types of pilot customers will include the sectors of commercial real-estate, grocery stores, franchised restaurants, educational facilities and other.

The dawn of the psychedelics industry could not have come at a more needed time for humanity, as global events have served to exacerbate mental health issues related to anxiety and depression. Investors will need help identifying best of breed psychedelics companies and a review of the Red Light Holland story is all you need to know about where the Company is going.
Red Light Holland (TRIP:CSE) is a psychedelics company focused on the development of premium “magic” truffles in the Netherlands. More than just lip service the Company already has these two very strong pillars in place:
COMMERCIALIZATION – The Company’s recreational brand of magic truffles are already being sold in the Netherlands through existing Smart Shops, as well as, its e-commerce platform through microdose packs. To this end, TRIP has already sold its first 100,000 grams of magic truffles months ahead of schedule, and has now increased production by 10X to 1,000,000 grams (not a typo).
TEAM – In order to help guide the company’s development and operations in the psychedelics space, TRIP has signed former Canopy Growth CEO Bruce Linton as chair of its advisory board and Former Canadian Health Minister, Tony Clement, as Senior Advisor. Company President Hans Derix is a native of the Netherlands and an expert in the space with over a decade of accomplished experience.
As if that wasn’t enough, TRIP has also produced a virtual reality experience for prospective customers who want to experience the effects of their products before actually trying it. The AGORACOM thesis of small cap wealth creation this decade is the convergence of emerging technologies – but even we didn’t foresee the explosive intersection of virtual reality and psychedelics!
If you believe in the future of Psychedelics and Psilocybin in particular, then this interview with Todd Shapiro, CEO of Red Light Holland will be a TRIP.
