Sam - more than 1 share has traded since delisting. I think what we all want though is to have the shares trading on a public market.
Netman. I would happily accept seeing..
a trade of (even) one share of FASC.
Ya think.
Oops. Wrong board! Happy New Year everyone. FASC's time is coming albeit slower than expected. Stay tuned!!!!
It was Adam who said there was only 1.
What you talkin' 'bout Willis?
Talk about MM manipulation. 1 share traded to take the pps down.
Charlie.....there was one in Moscow per the interactive map. (Which is a little tricky to maneuver through on my phone). Not sure if any more for 2017.
Can't remember if anyone mentioned this but they had 1 sale in 2017 (don't know where). Not updating the FASC website because it's not worth it - too many time-consuming phone calls from shareholders when they do.
Hopefully something in a couple of weeks.
Lather - rinse - repeat
Happy new year everyone! Sam - the Canadian project is still moving forward, albeit at a too slow pace. There other projects sprinkled around the globe that have been held up pending closure on the Canadian project too. Still expecting something to break shortly.
CPAMAN, Thanks. Please define..
"shortly".
and "expecting".
Still holding...
TKL.....with the holidays now behind us, I am expecting that we will hear good news shortly.
EOM.
Happy New Year! Perhaps 2018 will be our year? eom
Hi Sam
Yes I still believe in Fasc.
Because the product is good.
Drian
Drian, you go all the way back to..
2004. But only a very few posts.
Do you still believe in the KDS?
Why?
Happy New Year.
OT
A happy and healthy New Year to all!
I wish you that your dreams come true.
We in Europe are 6-9 hours ahead, so we make the step into 2018 before of you :)
Looking forward to read you in 2018 again
Drian
I like that idea Sam, but will settle for a quarter of that.
How about a granddaughter with a..
millionaire grandfather?
Yes, the New Year will bring us all good news... In one form or another.
My "form" will be a granddaughter. ??
LOL, yeah, it's pretty bad. I think they have one do over try with Facebook though, so it can be corrected easily enough.
Being delinquent with the Nevada SOS (again) is another matter they should work on fixing ASAP, IMO. I don't imagine that looks good to someone doing their DD on FASC.
HOLY COW! That is a big mistake!

leads to DEAD website.
Gonna take some fixing.
PS
No wonder nobody is buying...
https://www.facebook.com/MiconexSystems
I am assuming it should say Micronex, and not Miconex?
Merry Christmas to all.
[slightly OT] "Thanks Sam" Likes(3 million)
Thanks, Sam.
The prohibition against a mythical marijuana has probably killed many more people than all the legal and illegal drugs combined while preventing relief of very serious and sometimes deadly illnesses.
As a subscript, THC is the joy juice in marijuana that potheads seek but it has been a legal synthetic drug for a couple decades with brand name marinol. A new THC formulation has been given a less strict prohibition allowing as how it might have some beneficial use as a drug.
No wonder they are smoking The Constitution and The Declaration of Independence since they are written on "marijuana paper" [hemp is a Cannabis plant].
All hail the real Uncle Sam.
Best, Terry
OT? Pot stock. I was driving force that got
Marijuana legalized in Reno.
Now Reno is famous for quick divorce,
gambling... and pot.
http://www.renocitizen.com/pot.htm
Me too. One million. I’ll hold forever
Yep.......me too Sam - although I did not dive in so deep. 500K and still holding [ the bag ]
20 years ago.. I bought my first
shares of FASC.. and went on
buying binge to over 2 million
shares.
Still holding.. into the 21st
year.
$63 million project funding.. plus $240 million in
different types of projects. It sure would be nice
if FASC could get some of those investments.
Or be part of projects that were involved.
More pie to get a slice of?

We may hear something on finalized contracts before year-end. But with the holidays coming, chances are it will extend into 2018.
It's a long process but a necessary one when talking about these kinds of $$$$.
On a fast track perhaps 6-8 months.
".. until 10 machines under contract and with
money in hand." OK, from that point on, how
long do you think until trading would be
able to take place again.
1 year?
2 years?
3 years?
6 months?
Sam - Short answer is yes I have purchased shares. It is a transfer between brokerages.
Knowing Brian, i would not expect anything regarding a relisting to take place until there are at least 10 machines under contract and with money in hand.
Netman, has anybody ever taken you up..
on any of your offers?
The logistics would seem more than too
much to justify the effort. At these
prices.
Does anybody have a guess how long it
would be from announcing this impending
massive $$$$deal.. until stock would
actually be trading?
Netman, Bid .001? Let me know when bid is
.01.
Or .10.
Bid is still .001 per share. If anyone wants to clear their loss this year, let me know.
CPAMAN, that is what I thought (hoped).
NetMan, tax season profits. Good point, but..
I don't even have any of those.
Sam....
1) They hold shares
2) They can pick up more shares through loan conversions, options, etc.
3) They want to see through what they started
Now....let's see if we can get the first step done and get deals closed soon. I believe we will.
Not everyone feels that way Charlie. Tax season is coming and the are likely some that would like to cover big gains this year.
OK! I gotta ask. Give me 3 good reasons
why the same people who delisted OUR
stock.. and might have $$$millions of
reasons why they would be far richer by
not relisting OUR stock ... would ever
have a reason to relist OUR stock.
Other than the fact we could sue
their estates.
Heck.. give me 2 reasons.
DayYam.. 1 reason why?
Still holding. BURP!
Boy, if I had a dollar for every time that posters to this board had made a predication of impending good news, I would be able to buy more shares, no wait, I couldn't, because they are not listed.
TR, I understand and agree, was just in a 'what if' moment.
No complaints about my 401k though. ????
How does that saying go? Something about "cold dead hands"?
cpac.....yes, that's exactly what I said. If. But I would expect it at this point. That's where we differ. We will find out pretty soon now, I believe.
Still offering $1000 for each million share lot.

First American Scientific Corp.
Innovators in Grinding and Drying Industrial Feedstocks
First American Scientific Corporation manufactures and sells the KDS (Kinetic Disintegration System) Micronex
The KDS Micronex grinder-dryer employs intense kinetic energy to simultaneously pulverize and dewater a wide variety of virgin and recovered materials into fine dry powders. The innovative vertical shaft impact mill design incorporates high rotational speed and high velocity air flows to achieve superior grinding and drying results without requiring supplemental heat.
Addition of supplemental or waste heat may be used to increase machine throughput. The energy used for drying can be as low as one-third the energy used by a drum dryer and no secondary grinding process is required. An internal classifier in the unit controls the output particle size to between 100-2,000 microns.
The production rate ranges between 1-4 tonnes per hour depending on the raw material characteristics and moisture removal required. While many conventional grinding or milling systems require dried feed material, the KDS Micronex can process materials containing up to 70% moisture and can reduce them to less than 10% moisture.
The KDS disintegration technology is patented in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Korea and China.
The KDS Micronex system is marketed in various sizes and each model is customized to the buyer's requirements. The basic models are the S4, S6 and S8, plus there is a table top model designated the S2 and possibly an S3. FASC's licensees may use different names (e.g. MF-777 in Malaysia).
The acquisition cost of the model S8 varies from $300,000 to $400,000 depending on the application, auxiliary equipment, and the version chosen.

Prince George, B.C. wastewater treatment [PROJECT DEAD]
October 31, 2005
First American Scientific Corp (FASC - OTCBB) signs agreement with the City of Prince George to install KDS Micronex equipment for processing sewage sludge at their wastewater treatment facility
Brian Nichols, President of First American Scientific Corp. (FASC) announced today the signing of an MOU with the city of Prince George, BC, Canada to assist in solving its environmental cleanup problems with sewage sludge using the KDS Micronex system. "This will be the first operation of its kind in the world, says David Dungate, FASC's VP of marketing, where the strictly regulated Class B municipal sludge can now be cleaned, bagged and profitably sold to the public as a soil amendment." The initial runs will be monitored for three months, and if satisfactory, the city plans to establish a permanent facility utilizing up to 4 micronizers.
According to Dayton & Knight, the city's consulting engineers, "the series of tests undertaken this summer 2005 at FASC's Vancouver demonstration site confirmed the ability of the KDS Micronex to consistently convert Class "B" biosolids to Class "A" biosolids and achieved an effective pathogen destruction rate of 99.9 % in all test samples"
FASC believes the KDS Micronex could become the preferred universal solution for handling Class B sludge by converting municipal waste into a valuable resource. With the successful showcase of our system's ability in Prince George, Canada, we could see our system in use all across the developing world.
There are approximately 15,000 municipal wastewater treatment plants in North America alone that process almost 34 billion gallons of domestic sewage and other wastewater each day. In Asia and Europe the markets are even larger, and FASC is well poised to service those markets through its established network of licensees and affiliates in the U.K., Poland, the USA, Canada, Malaysia, and Japan.
Pilot Testing of the Micronex™ System to Produce a Class A Biosolids - A report by Dayton & Knight Ltd., Vancouver, B.C.

Update: This project was not listed in the subsequent 10-K (period ending 6/30/2009) or any filings thereafter.
WRAP Project Explores New Projects and Markets for Paper Mill Sludge [PROJECT FINISHED]
March 2007
A New Approach to Paper Mill Sludge
As part of its programme to encourage the economic use of recycled fibre, WRAP identified a novel process in Canada - the KDS Micronex, which uses relatively low energy input to treat paper mill sludge through centrifugal action to produce a commercially dry material which can be separated through vibrating screening into a fibre fraction and a filler fraction.
10-K/A-1 update for fiscal year ending 06/30/08: In December 2004, a KDS Model S-4 was shipped to Aylesford Newsprint in London, England for trial runs and evaluation. The testing is now complete and a final report was issued in April 2007.
The KDS machine has been relocated to a new mill in Northern England where it awaits new funding to continue the research.
