Our partner needs to get off high-center…
whatever that takes. We’ve yet to see viable product… it’s been 8-months since our Agreement. And yes, we’d all love to see units provided by Gelest go out this month for customer testing.
Again, we don’t go anywhere until our CHS proves desirable.
Yeah, that brought millions to its knees…
Yeah, it makes you wonder…
How can we match dollar for dollar the grant money if we can’t produce a desirable batch for sale to a customer? Regardless, Gelest has had materials since January and the only thing we know for sure is they have not produced material for customer evaluation. And yet we have to put up with these cats until December 2019!
Cloneman, someone in this relationship is stepping on the hose…
What a partner…
North Dakota State University (“NDSU”) provided raw materials required to produce CHS to Gelest in January 2017. Efforts by Gelest to scale the manufacturing process for CHS are ongoing…
The initial installment of $18,000 was paid upon finalizing this Supply Agreement. The second installment of $162,000 is to be paid net 30 days from availability for shipment of between 200 – 400 grams of the initial product of the quality stated in the Supply Agreement. As of the date of filing, the Company has not paid the second installment, as Gelest has yet to complete the production of material.
We don't go anywhere until our CHS proves desirable.
The only “disruptive technology” part of the new company is CSpace… and once created is the only road to real riches. That’s what original investors put their time and money to…
The Australian glass NDA or our CHS-related polymer creation of our image space appears our only chance. SCHOTT couldn’t develop a feasible light-weight glass… I can’t imagine anyone else can. So it stands to reason, the cats at the NDSU lab need to feel the real pressure… it’s do or die time.
So Vic, Simon, if you’ve got something up your sleeve before you answer the phones this Friday, I’d let it be known. How many high risk-tolerant investors do you really believe are out there… and can you really convince them that you’re not wasting their time and money?
Good luck.

Careful Cloneman…
That sort of name could kind of stick with a company.
Cloneman, I tried that trading symbol...
and it said "no matches found."
In our small and micro-cap world, it was good to see nothing there took a big hit last week, and if what happened on Friday starts to persist, gold just might be where speculators should be.
Gold's been in a stealth like long-term rally since the beginning of the year, and it remains to be seen how much upside is ahead. However, there does seem to be quite a bit of developing interest, and with China continuing to gobble up gold, it's possible the fundamental backdrop for higher gold prices is definitely there.
There also seems to be some exploration resurgence in certain areas of West Africa again, specifically Burkina Faso, which is where Nexus Gold Corp. (OTCBB: NXXGF) (NXS.V), a Vancouver-based gold exploration and development company, is currently focusing their efforts right now.
Some of you may have missed it, but Friday after the close Nexus Gold Corp. put out a press release announcing CEO, Peter Berdusco is being featured on CBC's Documentary Channel Monday through Friday, throughout the day and evenings.
CEO Clips is the largest library of publicly traded company CEO videos in the US and Canada. Their 90 second video profiles broadcast on national TV and are distributed online on top financial portals including: Thomson Reuters, BNN.ca, and Stockhouse.com. They are also disseminated via a video news release to several financial portals including Globe Investor, OTC Markets, TMX Money, and The National Post.
For those of you invested in or are considering an investment in Nexus Gold Corp. (OTCBB: NXXGF) (NXS.V), we'd strongly suggest you take a few minutes and watch the video archive of their CEO explaining the benefits of gold exploration in Burkina Faso, West Africa.
Just go here to access the video: http://www.b-tv.com/nexus-gold-ceo-clip/.
If gold and its junior miners can get itself turned around again, there should be some nice gains to be had - just like what we've seen on a few other occasions this year already.

June 6, 2017 / Nexus Gold Corp. is pleased to report it has received geochemical results from Actlabs Burkina Faso SARL, an ISO 9001:2008 certified independent lab, from its initial sampling program at the Bouboulou gold concession, Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Good to hear from you missionsman…
Too bad Judy couldn’t talk; she took time for me a couple of times in the distant past. But things were different, then. I guess they’ll be closing the T-town doors in the not-too-distant future. This 180 degree turn takes some getting used to… at least for me.
Yeah, we live and learn. I could’ve/should’ve sold in… let’s see, when was it $3 plus? July ‘06? I could have made a cool $261,600 on a $960 investment made a year before. Now it’s worth $72.
Oh well.
Not much to quibble about, lately. Maybe that’ll change.
Michael! What say you, man?
2017 FLEX Con...
http://www.semi.org/en/2017-flex
Perhaps the most untouted feature of the Niangouela property, however, is how close a high-grade patch of gold is to mining activity. There's a mineable intercept - a place to dig and hit the gold vein - just 58 meters below the surface. Sampling for that particular hole shows 26.7 grams of gold per ton of material, and that vein measured a rather thick 4.8 meters. That's a lot of gold ready to be extracted... the kind of prospect that makes other miners envious.

Nexus Gold (NXXGF) Makes Finding Gold…
Look Like Shooting Fish in a Barrel
March 7, 2017 2:10pm PST
Dear SmallCap Network Members,
Our first look at Nexus Gold (CVE:NXS, NXXGF) was way back on November 23rd. The story has progressed very quickly in the meantime, with the latest chapter being logged today. All the recent sampling work being done at the Niangouela gold concession in Burkina Faso, Africa? Yeah, well, it's been completed, and the results look as fantastic as we expected them to be.
Bryan Murphy has the hard data and specifics for you right here, along with some perspective on why this has all been such a big deal. In fact, I'm just going to rip a snippet from his commentary because it was so hard-hitting. He observed:
"See, this may not be a 'discovery' in the purist sense of the word, as artisanal miners have already proven the presence of gold at Niangouela. But, this is the first, deeper look under the crust, so to speak, and it's looking like a very solid prospect already. These are the first ever 'holes' bored at the site, and they turned up great results. Eight of the nine holes showed a high-grade gold presence, with one them showing gold only 50 meters from the surface... gold that wasn't even in the vein, but in the shear, where it's relatively easier to get to. (That would be a great place to start the production-based digging.) What's largely been overlooked by all the good news is how rare it is for what's mostly a virgin property to indicate any gold at all the first time sample holes are bored."
If you haven't yet taken a closer look at Nexus Gold, maybe you should. Today's news of the final sampling tally is very compelling.
You’re right Cloneman…
Waterpro’s posting should have resolved a lot of questions… thanks, Pro.
Oh, and I didn’t exactly load up today as you suggested earlier, but I am ready for some news…
We probably have that CSpace patent by now…
but, so what! Still no working image space! All of the previous CEO’s tried to make it happen, but simply fell short. Their efforts seemed plausible at the time, but… A lot of us learned from that failed effort and are now forced to the route we’re on. Thus the CHS great hope for tomorrow.
You newbies got lucky.
Quite simply, it is due time that our present CEO surround himself with people that can turn this thing around… and demand nothing less. He doesn’t have the luxury that Martin, Sid, Mark and Victor had dealing with CSpace realization. We’re in a new era now… excuses not accepted.
The new cat needs to take heed…
“The hiring comes during an important time for the Company, as it recently signed a supply agreement with Gelest, Inc. for the pilot-scale manufacturing of its CHS technology, with the intent to begin sale of the product to commercialization suppliers of materials used in Lithium-ion batteries and more specifically anode battery materials.”
That said. Apparently the cat knows the product and how to promote it…
“Most recently Avery served as the New Business Development Manager for Lithium Ion Battery Solutions within Dow Corning's Business and Technology Incubator. Within that role, Avery was responsible for developing a portfolio of collaboration opportunities for Dow Corning's silicon material solutions, as well as managing relationships with key prospect customers of silicon materials.”
Man, I hope we’ve taken in a smart cat. Someone said his name was “Rags.” I know his real name is Ragnar… and I doubt short for “Rags to Riches.” But who knows…
The new cat knows silicone…

Big Brother can do anything he wants…
Think not?
Again, as discussed yesterday, the cyclohexasilane patent’s “assignee” is the NDSU Research Foundation. This not-for-profit organization is limited because cyclohexasilane was researched and developed using federal funds. Here’s just a taste of Big Bro’s power over the cyclohexasilane patent:
Non-Profits Can Not Assign Their Patents To Others
Finally, if the organization is a nonprofit entity (most universities and post-doc research institutions are non-profit entities), the government can prevent the assignment of the patents, limit the term of any exclusive license and limit the use of royalties obtained from licenses. This means that university and post doc research organizations that are granted patents as a result of federally funded research can only license the patented inventions they can't sell (transfer the title to) the rights to the invention.
Sometimes The Government Retains the Rights To the Invention
The Department of Defense, the Department of Energy and NASA have statutory prohibitions against private business organizations obtaining title to inventions developed with federal funds. This is why you will see patents assigned to the Secretary of the Navy, or the Secretary of the Department of Energy or NASA.
http://www.waybetterpatents.com/government_interest.html
Private business, private business… I like those words. But what a mountain…
Musk is hoping an inventive rival…
won’t eclipse his battery technology and render the gigafactory instantly obsolete.
Finally there are the technological questions. The gigafactory will make commodity 18650s using a standard nickel-cobalt-aluminum lithium-ion (NCA) formulation. But with battery researchers around the world working on a breakthrough, Musk is betting that none will leap ahead of NCA in a way that he cannot simply tweak his machines.
… that he can achieve his goal of making a mass-market Tesla by the end of the decade that can sell for $35,000, around half the current base price of the Model S.
The key … is the gigafactory, whose manufacturing economies he says will bring down battery costs by some 30%. That is substantial considering that the battery is the most expensive single component in electric cars. Tesla does not disclose the cost of its batteries, but one estimate is around $15,000 for the 200-mile-range battery in the Model S.
… Musk would chop about $5,000 off the price of the battery, a big step toward the mass-market car.

Yeah, I noticed that little ditty…
GOVERNMENT RIGHTS STATEMENT
This invention was made with government support under U.S. Department of Energy Grant No. DE-FG36-08GO88160. The government has certain rights in the invention.
Maybe, should we ever own the patent, we could take the government to court and claim that it is not an invention – it is a patent.
Yeah, Kman, that’s scary… anything the federal government touches, they screw it up… royally. I guess the DoE wasn’t impressed with CSpace at the time, or else they would have had their filthy hands in it.
Because the patent was partially funded on their dime, they had the ability to legally gain “certain rights” to the patent… they must have liked it, at least. Oh, and by the way, they took that dime from you and me; they didn’t borrow it.
And yeah, my bellyaching (I’d use another word, but I don’t know if I’d get away with it) doesn’t relieve the importance of the government’s claim to cyclohexasiline… and yes, we should know what the heck big brother’s interest is in our IP. (I really hate to use those sissy words – Oh’p, I guess you can still use the word “sissy,” can’t you)?
I’ll have more on perceived patent ownership concerns a little later.
No, iamthe man, I’m talking about ownership…
not licensing (Moonshotman covered that and maybe hawked a lead on Coretec’s JDA guru, see #33921). I’d like to know who exactly owns the cyclohexasilane patent… Coretec, as perhaps understood by this wording: “Coretec’s proprietary technology” or, the NDSU Research Foundation… the patent's “assignee.”
And yes, I did email Doug at your suggestion. And yes, Doug did mention during the CC that he would provide a list of the licensed IP.
Flyersman, I got it...
I will say this: I'm not easy, but I can be had.
Like Walrusman says... Have a great day!
Walrus, the NDSU Research Foundation…
is the “assignee” on those patents, thus the legitimate owner, right?
If so, what do you make of this June 1 statement?
The Company believes that a key segment of Coretec's proprietary technology (CHS / Si6H12) possesses a superior value proposition compared to competing technologies for energy-related product applications such as energy storage (batteries), printable and flexible electronics, and photovoltaic (solar) applications…
Those words “Coretec’s proprietary technology” confused me. I thought Coretec owned it! Thus, we would own it, on or before, July 15. Apparently, it is, or at least, was, assigned to the NDSU Research Foundation.
Here’s the CHS / Si6H12 patent with the assignee as the NDSU/RF:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?d=PALL&f=G&l=50&p=1&r=1&Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&s1=8,975,429.PN.&OS=PN/8,975,429&RS=PN/8,975,429
Here’s another claim by Coretec:
http://coretecindustries.com/Technology
Regardless, maybe ownership by the Foundation would be best since they seemingly would have better reaction to future funding requests as opposed to a request from the private sector.
Does sound like history repeating itself…
And you should know! Man you’ve been around this thing before Martin was born.
That said.
One difference is that if we close a deal within 15 days we will own a company… a first. Right?
Must like what they have.
Simon Calton, co-founder of Coretec said this…
"While there is vast potential in terms of applications of the technology, our initial focus will be on energy storage, solar, microelectronics, and printable electronics, as we seek to generate immediate revenue for the company and build long term partnerships with manufacturers."
From the NDSU Research Foundation website:
Energy Storage:
Electrospinning Process and Compositions for High Volume Silicon Nanowire Productions (RFT-311)
North Dakota State University (NDSU) has developed unique synthetic routes to a novel liquid silicon precursor, cyclohexasilane (Si6H12), which is converted to silicon nanowires by electrospinning. Readily purified by distillation, the liquid nature of Si6H12 allows the development of a high-volume electrospinning route for silicon nanowire production. Because the spun wires convert to amorphous silicon at relatively low temperatures, formation of excessive surface oxide and carbide phases can be avoided which would otherwise negatively affect capacity and rate capabilities. The technology can be used in the development of anodes for use in next-generation lithium ion batteries, in which the traditional carbon-based anode is replaced with a silicon-based anode for a dramatic increase in capacity (theoretically over 1100% increase in capacity).
Solar and Microelectronics:
Roll-to-Roll Synthesis of Silicon Thin Films from Liquid Silanes (RFT-447)
Silicon thin films are fundamental in solar and microelectronic industries, and are presently obtained using expensive low-pressure plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using gaseous silanes despite of its low precursor utilization efficiency. Instability and low vapor-pressure of liquid hydrosilanes have limited their use in the semiconductor industries for longtime. Researchers at NDSU have developed a process to synthesis silicon thin films from liquid hydrosilane (Si6H12) at ambient pressure in a roll-to-roll method using atmospheric pressure aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition (AA-APCVD) that has higher deposition rates compared to the state-of-the-art PECVD. Solubility of solid dopants in the liquid hydrosilane facilitate the deposition of degenerately doped (n & p –type) Si thin films opposed to compressed toxic phosphine and borane gases used in other techniques. Low decomposition temperature (higher activation energy) of cyclohexasilane (Si6H12), a liquid hydrosilane, benefits for a new plasma-free process for the synthesis of silicon nitride films and Si nanowires (with suitable catalyst) at temperatures as low as 350 oC using the AA-APCVD, readily adoptable for large-scale roll-to-roll continuous manufacturing. Liquid hydrosilane compositions consisting of nanomaterials enable hybrid Si films with embedded nanomaterials that have applications in energy harvesting and light emitting devices.
