So much potential and a newer market that is Ginormous.. I watched the June Shareholders Meeting presentation, very informative. Like you said, buy it and forget it. Watch it grow!

[Stingray]

"We have achieved another major milestone as this is our second commercial plasma torch order with a major iron ore producer," said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. "In addition, Client B has advised that they would likely be ordering approximately 130 torches upon the successful installation of today's order. This is particularly interesting given that Client B does not have the largest need amongst iron ore pelletizers. For example, we estimate that Client A, who has over ten (10) plants, each possibly requiring up to 50 plasma torches, has a significantly higher need. The iron ore pelletization industry is under extreme pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and GHG emissions. As the industry is expected to grow at 3.0% pa from 2021 to 2027, iron ore pelletizers are looking for technology solutions to help them meet their carbon footprint and GHG targets. PyroGenesis' proprietary plasma torches which significantly reduce GHG emissions are an attractive solution as an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuel burners. As sales of PyroGenesis' plasma torches increase, PyroGenesis should also benefit from providing proprietary spare parts and services, which would generate significant high-margin, recurring revenue. We cannot overemphasize the opportunity this order presents. Although nothing is certain with respect to success and/or future contracts, and there are always risks as we move forward, we can now say without a doubt that we are on the right path and things are evolving in the right direction."

PyroGenesis Confirms Successful Production of Nano Silicon Material
3:23 PM ET, 08/05/2021 - GlobeNewswire
MONTREAL, Aug. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”), that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and sustainable solutions which reduce greenhouse gases (GHG), is pleased to confirm, that further to HPQ Silicon Resources Inc’s press release of earlier today1, the Company has successfully produced Nano Silicon materials with its PUREVAP™ Nano Silicon Reactor (“NSIR”) for HPQ Nano Silicon Powders Inc (“HPQ NANO” or the “Client”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HPQ Silicon Resources Inc (TSX-V: HPQ) (OTCQX: HPQFF) (FWB: UGE).

PyroGenesis is currently working with HPQ, and/or HPQ subsidiaries, in the following three broadly defined projects:

Converting Silica (Quartz, SiO2) into high purity silicon using PUREVAP™ QRR,Converting Silicon (Si) into Nano Silicon powders using PUREVAP™ NSIR. The goal is to increase performance and storage capacity (highly sought-after characteristics in many industries but specifically EV) in lithium-ion batteries by replacing graphite with these nano silicon powders, andConverting Silica (Quartz, SiO2) quartz into fumed silica.
The successful milestone announced today by HPQ relates to the conversion of silicon into Nano Silicon powders (project #2 above). After experiencing certain delays relating to unexpected operating issues, PyroGenesis’ engineering team has been able to successfully produce nano silicon materials, and this represents a significant confirmation of the original assumptions underlying this project.

The next major milestone is to optimize the process and have a third-party evaluation of powder characteristics, after which orders can be delivered to various entities who have been waiting to receive samples.

“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.2”

Research3 indicates that replacing graphite with nano silicon powders could allow for the manufacturing of high-performance Li-ion batteries with the capability of delivering an almost tenfold (10x) increase in anode capacity, inducing a 20-40% gain in the energy density of the next generation of Li-Ion batteries. The Li-ion battery market size is estimated to grow from USD 44.2 billion in 2020 to USD 94.4 billion by 2025, equivalent to a CAGR of 16.4%.4

PyroGenesis also confirms that it is now moving forward with the next phase of the project which consists (i) designing and manufacturing a semi-continuous process system with a commercial production capacity of at least 500 kg/month (approx. 6 MT/year) of nano silicon powders, and (ii) validating commercial scalability.

“PyroGenesis’ last major milestone, prior to the delivery of its first nano silicon sample, is the completion of an optimization process on the samples produced”, said Mr. Pierre Carabin, CTO and Chief Strategist of PyroGenesis. “The optimization process will, amongst other things, (i) improve product quality and consistency, (ii) evaluate the chemical characteristics, and (iii) perform microscopic and particle size distribution analysis.”

As previously disclosed, PyroGenesis has entered into an agreement with HPQ NANO in which, amongst other things, PyroGenesis benefits from (i) a 10% royalty (“Royalty”) on HPQ NANO’s future sales (with set minimums), and (ii) the option to convert this Royalty at any time into a 50% ownership in HPQ NANO.

Thank you Stingray.

As I recall, I first bought in in 2018. I came across it as a potential material producer for 3d printing. I liked the other revenue producers that made what seemed to be enough to stay afloat until the irons in the fire were ready to be worked. It floundered for a bit. I panic sold at the beginning of 2021 when it had the big jump and covid was taking hold. I bought a little in May. Still underwater there but am confident we will see higher prices. I think I am going to put some more here soon. Like you say, they seem to be on the verge of some big breakthroughs.

[Stingray]

They are growing. Currently in-process of an acquisition of a small company. And they recently added additional manufacturing space...a 'green' bias for sure.

Headcount continues to grow. From their website:

"How many employees does PyroGenesis have?
As of June 8, 2021, we employed a total of 74 employees."

Here's a good summary of their work. They seem to be on the verge of some big breakthroughs...hopefully some contracts will be signed soon...

https://seekingalpha.com/article/4431340-pyrogenesis-canada-stock-pyr-fires-up-its-business-pipeline

[Windbag1014]

I count about 45 people in the about us photo on their website (probably a few years old and not inclusive). Do you know if that number has been consistent? What is the most recent headcount? Is the number going up? I found the page below when searching # of employees at PYR. They are reporting 71. Does that seem right to you?

Sorry for all the questions. No big deal if you don't have the answers. I mostly am curious if their headcount is growing with everything else. And if so, are they hiring for expected growth?
Thanks

I think another thing that keeps it down is we don't have any institutional ownership yet. I feel pretty confident that that will change in the not too distant future.

[Stingray]

Yeah, really surprised to see it trading at this level. No debt, profitable and lots of potential...I think the next PR that confirms any contracts will send it much higher...

Oh, did I mention the recent short attack...

Anxious to see some more signed contracts...but PYR has all the ingredients to be a spectacular long term hold.

Company has been around for a lot of years, has many patents and much plasma know how.

They have also recently added management staff...not expecting prices to hang around in the single digits too much longer...time will tell

PyroGenesis Announces $700,000 Grant from SDTC to Develop a Pilot System to Transform Quartz into Fumed Silica with HPQ Silicon Resources
PRESS RELEASE GlobeNewswire
May. 27, 2021, 11:45 AM
MONTREAL, May 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (https://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company (hereinafter referred to as the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powders, environmentally-friendly plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce that PyroGenesis received a $700,000 grant from Sustainable Development Technology Canada (“SDTC”) for a novel production process to transform quartz into fumed silica using a plasma reactor, thereby reducing hazardous waste and greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions in comparison to the established fumed silica production process. This project is in partnership with HPQ Silicon Resources (“HPQ”), provider of innovative, cost-effective and low carbon emission silicon-based solutions. The proposed start date for SDTC funding is June 2021, subject to execution of the project funding agreement with SDTC.

For this project, PyroGenesis and HPQ will collaborate on the design, fabrication and operation of a novel pilot system to demonstrate the production of fumed silica, an inert and non-hazardous substance, using a plasma reactor. Fumed silica is used as a thickening agent in a wide range of applications, such as paints, cosmetics, coatings, inks and resins. The companies will (i) build and test a pilot system to investigate if continuous production of fumed silica by plasma is feasible, (ii) produce bulk samples of high-quality fumed silica for property evaluation, and (iii) use pilot data as the basis for a techno-economic feasibility study, where this new technology will be compared to the existing commercial process. The project will be conducted over a 2-year period, starting in June 2021.

“Fumed silica has unique physical properties which make it a useful and versatile commodity, including high surface area and low bulk density,” said Mr. Pierre Carabin, CTO and Chief Strategist “The established process for making this product is flame hydrolysis, a lengthy, expensive, and wasteful multistep process requiring transportation of the materials between multiple locations. With this project, PyroGenesis and HPQ will propose an alternative solution which would eliminate the toxic by-products of the conventional process and reduce GHG emissions by about 90%. If successful, it will be a game-changer for the industry.”

“We wish to thank SDTC for their continued support of Canadian entrepreneurs in general, and our project specifically,” added Mr. Pierre Carabin. “One cannot overstate the impact SDTC support has towards the commercialization of our novel production process to transform quartz into fumed silica using a plasma reactor. Their credibility alone speaks volumes as they are a very discerning valued partner. We are also working with HPQ Silicon Resources on this project, and we look forward to ultimately delivering, as the PyroGenesis/SDTC/HPQ team. the environmental solution to an issue that has been plaguing the industry for years.”

“Sustainable Development Technology Canada is incredibly proud to support PyroGenesis’ innovative plasma technology which helps reduce harmful toxins from entering our environment. By investing in companies, like PyroGenesis we can bring lasting economic, environmental and health benefits to Canadians and the world” said Leah Lawrence, President and CEO of Sustainable Development Technology Canada.

PyroGenesis Comments on Today's Market Activity Statement from the CEO
3:14 pm ET April 28, 2021 (Globe Newswire) Print
PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "PyroGenesis"), a Company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, environmentally friendly plasma waste-to-energy systems and clean plasma torch products, issues this press release in response to significant inquiries from shareholders which have been addressed by the following statement from P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis:

"Our stock has reacted this morning to a report that seems to be a short seller attack on the Company, and was in no way affiliated with PyroGenesis, its management, or Board. At no time did the authors of the report contact PyroGenesis despite their contention that they did.

The report is replete with additional false and intentionally misleading statements, innuendoes, inaccuracies, outright distortions and lies, all of which appears to an attempt to generate panic selling. Regretfully, some investors may have made decisions based on these falsehoods.

We do not take this report lightly and we will take all legal action to hold those accountable for their actions. At PyroGenesis, we stand for freedom of opinions, but draw the line when lies are used for manipulation, no matter what side of the market one may be playing.

I wish to reassure all interested parties that as a person who controls between approximately 48%-52% of the PyroGenesis stock, I am totally committed to every aspect of this business, and further confirm that we at all times operate legally and, more importantly, morally.

At PyroGenesis, we are committed to building real value with real clients who are leaders in their respective industries, and we have successfully demonstrated this over many years. We do not believe that time spent addressing specific rantings by manipulators who have hidden agendas is a good use of Company's time. However, we will note that we stand by all our disclosures.

Last but not least, on the topic of standing by all disclosures, I ask readers to put today's report in its proper perspective. The report is faceless. No author. No address. No telephone numbers. No email. No access. On the other hand, PyroGenesis has been audited every year by reputable firms (KPMG has audited our accounts every year since 2015) who have had full access to all information, and we count the US NAVY, plus a host of other billion-dollar market leaders, as long-term clients/partners who have done their own due diligence and audits of the Company.

We thank you all for your understanding and support. Rest assured that the Company is stronger today than yesterday, stronger yesterday than the week before, stronger the week before than the month before that, and stronger the month before than the year before that. In my opinion we have never been better positioned to execute on all our strategies."

The Company wishes to reassure investors that all projects are all on track and that there are no undisclosed events to warrant the recent decline.

The Company prefers not to opine on stock price and trading activity, however, given the recent decline, and inquiries from investors, the Company confirms the following:

Everything material has been disclosed by the Company in either its press releases or financial reports. PyroGenesis further confirms that none of the contracts previously disclosed are at risk. Last, but not least, the Company wishes to reassure PyroGenesis’ investors that the Company remains on track with current and prospective projects.

“We just want to take the time to reassure investors that the recent decline in stock price cannot be explained by any undisclosed events taking place within the Company,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “Although we rarely speak to our pipeline, I feel it appropriate to make an exception under the current circumstances. If we are conservative and define the pipeline as being those contracts where we are either in final discussion as the sole supplier, or in a leadership position in a competitive bid, and if we further narrow the definition by looking only at contracts that are expected to be signed within 6 months, then the pipeline is in excess of $65 million. Most of that pipeline would be expected to be completed within 18 months after signature. As such, the Board is of the opinion that the Company continues to strengthen its position and has never been better placed.”

yroGenesis Announces 2020 Results: Revenues $17.8MM; Net Earnings and Comprehensive Income $41.8MM Gross Margin 58%; Current Backlog $30MM; Basic EPS $0.28

MONTREAL, March 31, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (NASDAQ: PYR) (FRA:8PY), a high-tech company, (the "Company", the “Corporation” or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, environmentally friendly plasma waste-to-energy systems and clean plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today its financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31st, 2020.

“We are happy to announce Q4, and fiscal year end, results for the period ending December 31st, 2020, which continue the historical trends began earlier in the year. Our full year revenues of $18MM reflects the successful processing of backlog from signed contracts previously disclosed. The Board’s choice of strategy has been validated with the reporting of the second profitable quarter in a row. Further validating this strategy, net income from operations (before share-based expenses) was $3.3MM for the year which is quite significant given the uncertain environment that 2020 was, and during which the Company not only retired virtually all of its debt, but also uplisted to the Toronto Stock Exchange and positioned itself for a NASDAQ listing in Q1 2021,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “The successes of 2020, when combined with the results from our strategic investment, have contributed to a basic EPS of $0.16 for the quarter, and $0.28 for the year, both of which have exceeded previous guidance. With a strong balance sheet and approx. $27MM of cash-on-hand as at this writing, the Company is well positioned to execute on its strategy of growth and solidify its position as an emerging leader in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and as such, we expect these trends established in 2020 to continue.”

2020 results reflect the following highlights:

Revenues of $17,775,029, an increase of 269% over $4,813,978 posted in the prior year,
Net earnings and comprehensive income of $41,768,404 an increase of $50,939,521 over 2019,
Net earnings and comprehensive income from operations (before share-based expenses) of $2.9MM during fiscal year 2020 vs ($7.9MM) posted over the same period in 2019,
Gross margin of 58%, an increase of 21% year over year,
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2020 of $18,104,899 (December 31, 2019: $34,431),
Backlog of signed contracts of $30MM,
Basic Earnings per Share (EPS) of $0.28 for 2020 as compared to ($0.07) in 2019,
Total Assets at December 31, 2020 of $74.5MM (December 31, 2019: $9.6MM),
Shareholders’ Equity at December 31, 2020 of $59.4MM (December 31, 2019: ($6.1MM)).
