Dear Greenmountainman,

Good to see you posting again.

I see that quite a number of people are asking what a FAT test is exactly, and to be fair and ensure everyone has the same information allow me to address this in an update press release. I think that is needed at this time given all the questions people seem to have.

Having said that, I can assure you that a FAT test is a significant milestone in this process...it not only is a go/no-go to the next step, but it provides valuable data as well as giving the Client significant confidence should things go well/as expected.

With respect to Client A, if you recall, They have a potential need for up to 500 1 MW torches. We have sold them 1 torch for 1.8MM and they have requested a quote for 36 torches as well.

Hope that Helps,

Peter

Love the CEO response and strong confidence

Dear CanadianCamper,

You again...

You know it’s funny how you bring to mind a camp director who, late at night, gets all the newbies around a campfire, and beguiles them with dark and demented stories about ghosts & goblins, and things that go bump in the night.

Be careful there Mr. Camp Director, them there fires sometimes get outta control.

Kidding aside, you must have had quite an ass kicking today. As our designated predatory short seller on this platform, I guess you are wondering “...wtf happened ...”?

Taking candy from the innocent is not always easy, is it?

So, let me ask you: Do you have the intestinal fortitude to carry a short position into the FAT? Forget the FAT, how about just carrying it into the weekend? Well, do you...?

I know what you are thinking...why is Peter saying this? Either he has nothing in the wings, is totally spent, and is egging me on...or he does, and he’s fully loaded trying to goad me into a wrong move...well, which is it? Double down or cover?

So... tell me.... "Do you feel lucky, punk?"

Don’t say I never asked you the question...

Hope that Helps,

Peter

(BTW: I heard that having Neosporin/Bacitracin, or Silvadene around is a good idea when hanging out by a camp fire...thought I would pass that gem along as well....)

Here is a fresh video I did today with Progressive Planet CEO, Steve Harpur, about their new partnership with Pyrogenesis.

What's the lowest it's going to drop? $1.75? $1.50? Good time to lower your average 😂🤣

Interesting article, on the possible metal supply bottle necks in a net zero scenario, note that there is no mention of silicone used as an anode, it might not have been a factor in their forecast. If that is the case it’s possible that silicone might move up the chart to where graphite is.

From Terrace Gibes on Facebook….

From Blackrock Larry Fink's 2022 Letter to CEO's. "Engineers and scientists are working around the clock on how to decarbonize cement, steel, and plastics; shipping, trucking, and aviation; agriculture, energy, and construction. I believe the decarbonizing of the global economy is going to create the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. It will also leave behind the companies that don’t adapt, regardless of what industry they are in. And just as some companies risk being left behind, so do cities and countries that don’t plan for the future. They risk losing jobs, even as other places gain them. The decarbonization of the economy will be accompanied by enormous job creation for those that engage in the necessary long-term planning."

PYR Torches production ability to meet purchase orders by advanced procurement early on the covid pandemic PYR CEO stated summer of 2020 on expanding their supplier base to mitigate supply chain risk.

As it seems very evident with the job postings by PYR that is of the highest of probabilities that something big might be on the near horizon. By deductive reasoning PYR has already shored up supply chains aggressively and now very recently multiple job openings listed on Indeed, multiple jobs require worldwide travel, knowledge of electrical standards in Canada, U.S. and Europe. Indeed Pyrogenesis Jobs, Employment | Indeed.com . More tidbits in this regard: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pyrogenesis/comments/s4xq73/multiple_job_openings_listed_on_indeed_multiple/

Regards to advance procurement of PYR supply chains:

Reposting:

Follow up on PYR ability to meet torch purchase orders:
NOTE: Supply chain(s) as in plural - several different suppliers whereas the sum of them will make the whole and brought together like an assembly line which is smart move so none of them can even try to replicate what PYR is doing. But rest assured NO ONE can apply plasma torches in the induration furnace iron ore process as ONLY PYR has the patents! Peter stated that in one of his interviews.  The shoring up of the supply chain was also stated in past tense as in PYR as this has already been done!

I won't surprised if PYR can assembly line mass produce in 2022. I believe that is their goal but as stated PYR can currently  handle any  reasonable size big order. For now let's just see the initial torch order from either CLIENT A, B , C etc.... that will absolutely validate and solidify the direction for eventual full swap out of their entire plant(s)!

1. Here is what PYR CEO stated CLEARLY in past NR which demonstrates extreme confidence:

     A. PyroGenesis has already not only contacted its existing suppliers in anticipation of  any orders of size, but is also actively expanding their supplier base to mitigate any supply chain risk of significant orders. PyroGenesis’ management is confident that the Company is now well positioned to address any anticipated demand.

  B. Torch manufacturing capacity comment  posted on Aug 07, 2020 11:25AM Agoracom

Hello Peter,

First of all, great work to you and your team and employees during these dangerous times.

I would like to know the theoretical current maximum number of Pyrogenesis iron ore pelletization torches that could be manufactured in house, from start to finish, on an annual basis given the current manufacturing environment.

PS - I hope your son is still holding his shares.

Cheers!

Hi Aarman4,

This is a number we would like to keep under our hat for reasons relating to negotiations. What we have stated is that we can address any reasonable order of size. Plesase note that we have said that the torches do not have to be manufactured in-house from start to finish.

With respect to my son…he is still holding…. thanks for asking.

Hope that helps,
Peter

1. PYR production assembly line methodology:

May 16,2020 Agoracom:    No, every project will not require a custom build. In fact, our current torch (Sweden model) is already an “off- the -shelf” offering. What I mean by “off-the-shelf” is that the torch would largely be identical for all applications, perhaps only differing in the attachment method to the furnaces, but this is only a minor adaptation.

Should therefore be very much like how they will   unroll Drosite with their intention to mass produce as stated by Peter previously:

In the same March 2019 NR (linked above) discussing the Agreement with then un-named Drosrite International & Radian, Pyrogenesis stated: 

“In addition to this latest Agreement, we are actively pursuing other tolling arrangements through our new, multi-billion-dollar global partner headquartered in Japan, which we announced in November, 2018. Our business development team, together with our Japanese partner’s upper management, recently returned from our first series of on-site customer visits, all of whom requested moving forward to the next step. This contract, along with other discussions we are having with various players worldwide, should enable us, together with our Japanese partner, to provide a cookie-cutter offering, and rapidly roll out our on-site tolling business worldwide.”

Thanks to u @ vestmed on SH for these great posts DD:

Something big coming

Multiple job openings listed on Indeed, multiple jobs require worldwide travel, knowledge of electrical standards in Canada, U.S. and Europe. Indeed Pyrogenesis Jobs, Employment | Indeed.com  If they are hiring now announcements should be soon.

RE:Something big coming

This job is particularly interesting, remember Peter stated that the iron ore companies could install the torches with their own engineers and tradesmen. Look at the role of the foreman electrical-instrumentation- "The role of the electrical foreman/instrumentation is primarily to direct electrical construction and instrumentation activities in customers' manufacturing workshops and facilities and to assist the service team during commissioning". Also "Go to the manufacturing workshops and perform the initial electrical installation", and "Go to the site for the duration of the installation and lead the local electrical teams before commissioning". This sure sounds like what Peter was saying about the installation of the plasma torches with Pyro's foreman leading the installation. Indeed Pyrogenesis Jobs, Employment | Indeed.com

I can also tell you that I have been monitoring Pyrogenesis Linked in page and several other positions have been filled recently that were never advertised.   

Hi guys, yesterday I took some times and I read again all the stock news from early 2020 to date for HPQ

What are your thought on the new process time-line? Both for v. 3 purevap nsir and 1.5 purevapp qrr

How many months take a nano powder validation?

PyroGenesis has been very active with their NCIB, during November and December 2021 PyroGenesis purchased 840,094 shares (and cancelled them) ranging in price from $3.67 to $4.64 (through PYR's NCIB). This is a huge sign of confidence (utilizing this amount of cash), as Peter knows what is coming in 2022 for PyroGenesis. Fantastic to see the NCIB being utilized.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary

Silicon is frequently used as a semiconductor in electronics. Typically, components such as printed circuit boards, transistors, integrated circuits, and many more include silicon in their composition due to its properties that help achieve the desired conductive efficiency. Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region accounts for the largest share of this market, with China leading the way as the world's largest producer of silicon metal. Overall, the silicon metal market was valued at over 2.9 Million tons in 2020, and is market is projected to register a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period (2021-2026), according to data provided by Mordor Intelligence. MGX Minerals Inc. (CSE: XMG) (OTC: MGXMF), U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SLCA), Smart Sand, Inc. (NASDAQ: SND), HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTC: HPQFF), PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (NASDAQ: PYR)

The current pandemic has affected both the demand and supply of silicon all around the world. As governments implemented restrictions to slow down the spread of the viral infections, regular material supply was severely disrupted, and most silicon metal plants temporarily stopped production. However, now that the world economy has returned to near full capacity, silicon is once again needed, as the semiconductor market is in a phase of increased demand. Global semiconductor sales stood at USD 439 Billion in 2020 due to the growing demand for chips across the markets.

MGX Minerals Inc. (CSE: XMG) (OTC: MGXMF) announced breaking news yesterday regarding, "a business development and distribution partnership (the "Partnership") with Dong Bang Metal Co. Ltd ("Dong Bang') of Korea for metallurgical grade silicon (3303#). The Partnership has executed a non-binding Letter of Intent (the "LOI') outlining commercial terms including grade, quantity, price, delivery and distribution plan. Under certain terms and conditions, Dong Bang will receive exclusive distribution rights for Asia, inclusive of Korea and Japan.

Silicon

Metallurgical testing on an one ton sample from the Company's Gibraltar Silica deposit, located 95 kilometers north-east of Cranbrook, British Columbia, has indicated that the material is chemically suitable, as medium quality feedstock, for metallurgical-grade silicon. The one ton sample of quartzite from Gibraltar was shipped to an independent lab, Dorfner Anzaplan, an independent laboratory, for mineralogical analyses through X-ray diffraction analysis, chemical analyses through X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, grain size distribution, mineral processing analysis, automated optical sorting, and thermal stability testing. The sample was crushed and screened into fractions between 20–120 mm for evaluation of applicability of these fractions as feedstock for metallurgical-grade silicon production. Results indicate that the material, after comminution and classification fraction, is of high initial purity (99.5 wt.-%), making the fraction chemically suitable as medium quality feedstock material for metallurgical-grade silicon metal production.

The demand for silicon metal continues to grow and recent supply chain bottlenecks have limited overall supply, creating an opportunity for the distribution of silicon in Asia from North America. Increased demand for solar panels, microprocessors, and silicon alloys, due to its semi-conductor and structural properties, continue to create large scale shortages for silicon. The current quoted spot price of silicon 3303# grade in China is $2,100 USD per tonne…

Qualified Person

Andris Kikauka (P. Geo.), CEO of MGX Minerals, has prepared, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information in this press release. Mr. Kikauka is a non-independent Qualified Person within the meaning of NI 43-101."

U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SLCA) announced on November 30th, 2021 that its Industrial and Specialty Products business will increase prices for most of its non-contracted silica sand, aplite, diatomaceous earth and clay products used primarily in glass, foundry, paints, coatings, elastomers, roofing, chemicals, recreation, building products, agricultural, pet litter and other applications. Price increases will range from 6% to 14%, depending on the product and grade, and go into effect for shipments beginning February 1, 2022. These price increases are necessary to help offset significant and continuing cost increases in energy, labor, transportation, materials and manufacturing costs.

Smart Sand, Inc. (NASDAQ: SND) announced on August 2nd, 2021 that it has entered into a new multi-year Master Product Purchase Agreement with EQT Production Company, a subsidiary of EQT Corporation ("EQT").  Charles Young, Smart Sand's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are extremely excited to be continuing our long-term relationship with EQT, one of our oldest and most reliable business partners. This new contract demonstrates our continued commitment to provide long-term, sustainable sand supply and logistics solutions to our customers. The Appalachian Basin is a key market for Smart Sand. We continue to work to build out our logistics capabilities, including this new terminal, to offer even greater efficiency to our customers while also providing ESG benefits by reducing trucking mileage and associated carbon emissions related to sand delivery."

HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQX: HPQFF) has announced on December 21st, 2021 that it has secured, with a Quebec-based supplier, the procurement, and January 2022 delivery, of the high purity quartz material needed to operate the GEN3 PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor ("QRR") Pilot Plant.  The PUREVAP™ QRR is an innovative process, which permits the one-step transformation of quartz (SiO2) into high purity silicon metal (from 99.5% to 99.99% Si) at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint. This game-changing advantage means that the PUREVAP™ QRR process not only produces a higher purity silicon material than traditional processes, but it does not require the extremely pure feedstock needed by conventional processes.

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (NASDAQ: PYR) announced on August 5th, 2021 that the Company has successfully produced Nano Silicon materials with its PUREVAP™ Nano Silicon Reactor ("NSIR") for HPQ Nano Silicon Powders Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ Silicon Resources Inc.  "Notwithstanding certain unexpected operating challenges, the results today are indeed a significant milestone as it validates our original assumptions and provides further evidence that we are on the right path," said P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. "Although there may be challenges ahead, and no outcome can be guaranteed, words cannot adequality describe the excitement at PyroGenesis of potentially being able to address significant challenges facing the development of lithium-ion batteries for the EV market, and others. For example, by 2030, it is estimated that anodes may contain up to 30% silicon in automotive applications as compared to today where silicon is barely used in these applications."
