No Friday Night Dump? Things might be looking up!
Construction and calibration are being done indoors, I believe... probably a good idea this time of year.
Once the assembled and tested components are delivered to the site, final assembly should go rather quickly.
I doubt we'll see more pictures until that happens... my guess, in January. They can't finish too soon, or they'll lose another grant check.
I suggest you speak directly with Naveen Jindal, CEO and owner of Jindal Steel and Power Limited.
CEO Robin Eves from Dec 2017 Webcast:
"We've just returned from a very successful visit to India.
…
We met with the Secretary of Coal, Mr. Kumar, the CEO of Tata Power, the CEO of Adani, and Naveen Jindal, the CEO and owner of Jindal. The interest and dedication to have our technology operating at a commercial level is very serious, had made very clear that the commercial companies and the government will do whatever is needed to support our commercial rollout. We left with THREE commercial proposals that we are discussing with our investors, EPC contractors, and lawyers."
Once we sign the first full licensee, I expect our PPS will increase tenfold... Time will tell if tenfold amounts to $1 or 10¢.
He heard you… it's time for a vacation and another bonus.
A "good Q" would acknowledge receipt of the first of two $500k grant checks. Fingers crossed. $$$
A "great Q" will come in 6 months or 6 years, not sure which.
Don't be too quick to sell at $1. If that's based on expected revenue from licensed plants, likely Jindal & WNP, it will be our new floor. Pristine-M plants will operate at/near capacity for years, at least until they break even on CapEx, so those $3M/MTPA royalties are locked in. That means any volatility should be to the upside. New deals, even rumors of deals, could spike our pps by dollars, not cents. $$$
You can't directly compare the price then and now... there's been splits and dilution. However, you can compare market caps...
The high for Q1-2008 was $15 (2009-10K, pg13).
Figures quoted in the 10K were adjusted for 5:1 split from 2/8/08. (e.g. $75/5=$15)
Outstanding Shares @EOY-2007 = 232.9M shares. (2009-10K, pg15)
Market Cap Q1-08 = 232.9M * $15 = $3.5 Billion
Peak Market Cap based on intraday trading on 2/11/08 = $4.658 Billion!!
Mind boggling! With only one patented technology, and years before a test plant was built to validate it, this pre-revenue company was worth BILLIONS.
Now that's what I call, "Irrational Exuberance!"
In today's dollars, that's $3.5B/181.2Msh = $19.31 with an intraday peak of $25.70/sh.
It CAN happen again... especially if there's serious interest from Coal India. $$ $$

We need to play the long game. Looking at it realistically, I see it playing out like this...
Assuming pilot plant 2.0 is operational by summer and testing goes well, we break $1 by end of 2020 with a couple of signed licensees with talk of more. Our PPS could go *much* higher initially based on media coverage and irrational exuberance, in which case, it might be time to exit until the dust settles.
In 2021 and 2022 we see small gains, signing a couple of small 1-MTPA deals each year, as clients are still uncertain and unwilling to make the large capital expenditures required.
Then, in 2023, all hell breaks loose. We might begin that year at $2 and end at $5, or even $10+. You see, enough time would've passed for initial licensees to have permitted, built, kicked the tires, looked under the hood, and taken Pristine-M on a long road trip. If it passes muster and is deemed profitable, initial clients will undoubtedly license additional capacity, possibly by an order of magnitude. It's at this point that coal producers watching with skepticism from the sidelines will jump in head first, or risk losing market share to their clean coal competitors.
That's what I mean by snowballing… a wave of new licensees and expansions that could begin in 2023 and continue for several years... And we're the lucky few to get in on the ground floor and watch our little gobbler grow as it eats coal, breathes fire, and sh!ts gold to become... Turkey Godzilla! $$$
Welcome to the Million Shares Club. That makes five forum members that I know of. We need to stand strong and not sell... which will be very tempting once we sign the first clients and gold fever hits. Remember, if we break $1 based on expected revenue from signed licensees, it greatly increases the odds that CCTC will snowball.
Don't hold your breath. I believe they're getting as much done indoors as possible right now, including module testing. We might not see another round of pics until the modules are delivered, and hopefully onsite assembly will go quickly and smoothly. One thing I know for sure... test plant 2.0 will be operational by April's shareholder meeting or they'll be facing an angry mob waving torches and pitchforks.
True, and I'm guessing some of them might be our biggest critics.
Congrats, you beat me by a hair... I'll have to add a few more shares next month.
If we're patient, we stand to make a small fortune.
If it ensures financial viability, it was the right choice to delay the rebuild to redesign for improved performance and lower costs. And we should not blame CCTC for all of those missed timelines. They've been waiting since April for that grant from the UWyo which was earmarked for rotary kiln construction. I've previously speculated that those funds could've come from ACPIC funding, which also saw delays. (See posts 52834,53148,53863)
Obviously, there is no success without commercial viability, but viable or not, this is not a scam.
Snake oil salesmen don't usually pay themselves with bottles of their own miracle cure... unless it works!
If this is a scam, why not pay themselves cash? It's easy enough to issue more shares (which would tank our pps), or take out addition secured notes to make payroll for the entire company staff... all two of them. Instead, they pay themselves in stock and IOUs.
I'd make the opposite argument... This technology IS going to be wildly successful and management knows it. There's no need to rush things; no real competition, so they bide their time, tweaking the process to improve performance and lower costs, all while maximizing their share count and adding clients to their waiting list.
There is NOTHING else that even comes close to Pristine-M...
1) Significantly upgrade Btus.
2) Clean the coal of impurities such as mercury.
3) Doesn't require costly bricking/pelleting.
4) Produces a stable end product that doesn't reabsorb water or self-combust.
5) Upgraded coal can be fired in existing, unmodified boilers.
6) Plant doubles as a coal refinery, producing a variety of valuable liquid, gas, and REM byproducts.
7) Modular design allows for easy upscaling and reduced maintenance costs.
8) Proven at their prior site in OK and independently verified.
9) Patented in dozens of countries around the world.
10) Partnered with universities in the U.S. and Australia.
11) Meetings with government officials including senators, governors, U.S. DOE and DOD, and even India's Ministry of Coal!
12) Last, but not least... It's dust-free!! That should appease activists worried about those uncovered coal cars.
Yep, looks like a 5¢ stock SCAM to me! LOL.
Besides the fact that Mr. Liscouski's company might one day be a customer for some of our rare-earth byproducts, he is an expert on cybersecurity and has an impressive resume.
Robert Liscouski was appointed by Pres. Bush in 2003 as the first Assistant Secretary of Infrastructure Protection under the Department of Homeland Security. His department, later renamed Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), was given a $500M budget to ensure the protection of the nation's critical infrastructure, with a particular focus on our nuclear power plants. After 9-11, most will remember the concern when foreigners were caught trespassing and photographing our nuclear plants. What you might not know is that in Jan 2002, the CIA issued an alert about a planned terrorist attack on one of them after blueprints of U.S. nuclear plants were recovered from a terrorist base in Afghanistan.
Prior to that, Liscouski was a Special Agent for the U.S. State Dept. Diplomatic Security Service for 11 years, traveling the world to secure the secrets in those diplomatic pouches and safety of diplomats... the perfect guy to tag along with management when they are on "vacation" in India, Indonesia, and China.
He also worked for 5+ years as the Director of Information Assurance (cybersecurity) for some small company you've probably never heard of... Coca-Cola. And let's not forget he served as Vice President of the Law Enforcement Division of Orion Scientific Systems, developers of "counterintelligence, counterterrorism, and law enforcement services and products."
You can draw your own conclusions about why a heavyweight like Liscouski would accept a small token fee to sit on the board of an insignificant penny stock like CCTC... but it definitely bodes well.
I hope for your sake you're right... We'd hate to leave you at the starting gate because you were a penny short.
I almost feel guilty buying at 7¢... it's like taking candy from a baby.
No one knows if CCTC will ultimately succeed, but one thing is for certain... CCTC will be worth a hell of a lot more than 7¢ when they are testing foreign coal in 6 months.
We shouldn't have to wait that long for our luck to change... In 3 weeks when the next 10Q drops, I expect we'll bounce back well over a dime if that half-million dollar grant is reported. Yes, I know it's not a lot of money, but look at it this way... It's the most actual income they've had in years, if ever... bigger than both Jindal and WNP license deposits combined! And it's just the first of two.
Yeah, we know Gov. Gordon is a fan of CCTC.
He has met with management at least a couple of times and is a Twitter follower of CCTC.
And of course, Robin Eves famously said the State of Wyoming has offered CCTC a loan for "many millions of dollars."
The question is, why would CCTC need a loan for millions of dollars if they've already secured funding for the rebuild?
Might CCTC have plans to build their own commercial facility or be partnered in one, maybe with WNP?
Thank you to @barrassoforwyo and @GovernorGordon for meetings this week. We @CCTCInc look forward to being part of the solution securing the future of Wyoming PRB coal. Domestic and international markets need more efficient, dust free and environmentally responsible coal.

Yes, no need to rush a sure thing! I scooped up another 10k shares today... not a lot but it adds up.
You mean the high-temp rotary kiln? It'll roughly double the temperature versus the old design. That not only means better performance (less time to dehydrate the coal), but more elements removed from the coal in the sludge. Separating the rare-earths from that sludge could be one of the things Dr. Horner will be working on at ACPIC.
Shhh… that's a secret! $$$
I agree. For shareholders, the relationship with the UWyo has been nothing but detrimental in the short term... but it'll pay dividends in the future as it has given CCTC some much needed clout with potential clients. And let's not forget the process tweaks to boost performance and increase byproduct/REE extraction! Bright future ahead... if you can see past the moving goalposts.
I like that rumor! Wish it were true.
You mean like these?

Yes, and a great job he does... Never has he replied to my emails.
No chance? Don't know why you'd think that...
Trump is on his way to an easy win in 2020, according to Moody’s accurate election model
I agree 110%. And yes, these guys desperately need to hire someone to do PR.
I don't like to criticize management... For all we know, they're working their asses off behind the scenes and this two man band might open to packed crowds.
That said, it simply DOES NOT look good for ANY CEO to be phoning in VIDEO interviews.
At least Skype it in like Dr. Horner did recently.
I'm sure Robin felt it was just an informal interview with the intent to keep shareholders informed. However, it's best to always assume a potential client will see these interviews, so put on a suit, turn on your webcam, and give us the hard sell... every time!
Unfortunately, Robin Eves is not the most dynamic individual, so he might should hire this guy.
Yes, that's it. If they finish assembly this year, CCTI can kiss that second half-million dollar grant goodbye.
Oh, there will be... and I'll be one of them. I plan to scoop up some of those 7¢ shares this week. The problem is, most of us diehards are looking like Santa after Thanksgiving dinner... We need new buyers, like those that'll come when T campaigns in coal country chanting, "Beautiful Dust-Free Clean Coal!"
Complete insanity that we're down 12% since the on-site construction pictures were tweeted, and down 10% since the official PR was posted on Oct 9th announcing their "2nd generation client test facility" with "first of a kind, game-changing advancements that we believe will reverberate throughout the entire global coal industry."
But I'm not surprised... in this bizarro world of clean coal, good news often brings lower share prices. It's just too easy for anti-coal fanatics with shallow pockets to trash our penny stock.
However, things might change when CCTI cashes that half-million dollar grant check. $$
Excellent! Thank you WhiteCoal for the PowerMag link.
BTW, you linked the last page.
6 months is what I expected. We should be operational by spring, with plenty of time to test coal from all six likely licensees (that we know of) by end of 2020.
My only question is what our PPS will be in one year when we've signed a few licensees... $1... $2... $3 or more?
Good times ahead!
That is interesting. AFAIK Ft Union has 3 tenants: Atlas, CCTC, and soon ACPIC.
We can rule out Atlas; they are way beyond field testing their activated carbon commercial products.
ACPIC is just a lab building, not a technology, so that narrows it down a bit.
We also know CCTC has met once or twice with Gov Gordon about something.
I suspect CCTC is at the heart of Wyoming's plan to export PRB coal. Carbon capture, boiler refinements, and other related techs are nice, but unless widely adopted domestically, it does little to save Wyoming's dying coal industry. Even if Dr. Horner's plan to make valuable products from coal came to fruition today, it would not reopen shuttered coal mines, it would only stem the bleeding. CCTC's Pristine-M high-Btu dust-free clean coal is the KEY to actually boost WY coal production and fill the state's dwindling tax coffers. The governor certainly knows that, and once our plant is up and running, I believe he'll be as vocal in support of this technology as Rick Perry was for his pet project, Petra Nova. $$$
Construction on hold? Level-1 Snow Emergency in Gillette!
The City Administrator has declared a Level 1 Snow Emergency effective at 12 p.m. on Wed., Oct. 9. This means that all vehicles must be removed from the designated Snow Emergency Routes by 4:00 p.m. or they can be towed at the owner's expense. pic.twitter.com/gui4IbOwwK

Well, right now we only need to sign one contract and shareholders will be thrilled. Once the ice is broken, I have no doubt that many more would follow.
Yes, they must've read my post.
Construction pics and the market yawns? No surprises there, in fact, some might be surprised we had any bump at all.
It would help if we had an actual honest-to-God press release.
Although they've tweeted about it, and hidden pics under the new Company News tab,
there has been no official PR and many sites will not carry the news until there is.
So, as of now, only CCTC diehards are in the know... so get your orders in NOW!!
