This PR is huge for potential earnings. A non-cap/market price sale dwarfs the price they were obligated to charge on the existing aggregates.
Time for a HUGE run up once sales are announced and that wont take long.
ABM.V and TNC.V are prime.
Athabasca Completes All-Weather Road at Kearl Aggregate Operation, Initiates Aggregate Sales
Athabasca Minerals Inc. ("Athabasca" or the "Corporation") (TSX Venture: ABM) is pleased to announce it has completed construction of an all-weather road linking the Kearl Aggregate Operation to a number of major oil sands operations surrounding the project area. The Corporation recently received approval from the Government of Alberta to open this additional aggregate operation, complementing the existing Susan Lake Aggregate Operation. The Kearl Aggregate Operation will be fully controlled by the Corporation, enabling the Corporation to benefit from full market value of all sales of aggregates, including processing and delivery.
This is a milestone development in the Corporation's growth strategy, which is focused on providing aggregates and essential industrial minerals to the oil sands and surrounding industries. Initially about 40 acres of land within the Kearl area are to be cleared and stripped, which should be completed during May. Sales from the Kearl Aggregate Operation can begin immediately thereafter.
Athabasca Minerals operates the Susan Lake and Poplar Creek aggregate operations which for the last fiscal year supplied 7.25 million tonnes of aggregates to oil sands companies located in Northern Alberta. The Corporation currently receives a per tonne fixed fee for managing Susan Lake and Poplar Creek.

Thanks. That acc/dist chart looks pretty interesting.
I anxiously await the days when we are moving whole pennies again.. and buying in at .031 vs .0325 will seem trivial.
Hey Slyder,
Hows the accumulation and RSI looking?

Green baby. Green.
Better is Better. Better is Progress.
This is not a hard idea to grasp. Do you want "this" option or the "better" option? I wonder.
Was in at .395
Just looked at AH.. Wow! Tomorrow will be awesome.
Unless your short!
Theres lots of good information on their website.
Good luck with whatever you decide.
TIO teams up with iQmetrix to offer bill payment, reporting features
Cellular and wireless retail management solutions provider iQmetrix is launching the RQ4 integration of TIO Networks' bill payment processing service this week to beta clients, with a full ramp up expected in the next two weeks.
"Our dealers are very excited about the RQ4 integration," TIO Director of Distribution Tony Habib said in a press release. "They've been asking us for this, for some time."
Under this new integration, TIO Networks' wireless retailer customers will have the choice of processing real-time bill payments via TIO's Web-enabled point-of-sale (POS) platform or through RQ4. This integration will be deployed across TIO's entire network of wireless dealers.
"One of the big advantages to integrating TIO bill payment into RQ4 is the reporting feature," Habib said in the release. "Previously, dealers had to use separate reporting between TIO and RQ4. Now, they can not only process the TIO payment in RQ4, they can access both payment info and reporting through the RQ4 system."
The recession period spurred growth for TIO, driving up demand for in-person payments as well as bill-payments kiosks. Back in January, Ylan Q. Mui of the Washington Post reported that big-box retailers were installing bill-payment kiosks in their stores, in order to meet increased demand. Since millions of low-income Americans don't have bank accounts, "alternative financial services" have become a $320 billion industry.
"According to a recent government survey, nearly 30 million households either do not have a bank account or use one sparingly," wrote Mui. "Nearly 70 percent of families considered 'unbanked' earn less than $30,000 a year and many say they will never do business at a bank."
A huge day to plus side lets hope.
What does that mean exactly?
10X average volume today with a new 52week high of .475
Looks like someone was loading up at .42
Perhaps ahead of news next week. GLTA.
Buys over Sells today aswell.
Sitting at the 52week high. PPS = .47 with lots of buying pressure on L2.
Looking for good things in the next few weeks with forecast demand and additional aggregate property developments.
Because they are the current MM at the Ask?
Or is this a trick question?
Can someone please buy CSTI's last 10 shares so he can get off the ask.
Tio Networks Second-quarter Losses Tightened as Revenues Strengthen
Thursday, March 31, 2011
By The Canadian Press
VANCOUVER - Bill payment processor Tio Networks (TSXV:TNC) reduced its second-quarter losses as its business expanded through a mobile app and new physical locations.
The company's losses were improved to $129,853 from $632,627 in the same period a year earlier as revenue grew to $8.7 million from $5.5 million.
Tio Networks said its total number of transactions nearly doubled year over year, as it added 35,000 new locations through its Moneygram alliance and launched a mobile bill payment app for a major American utility.
"Our recently launched first mobile bill pay app for a major utility has achieved strong results to date and we are moving quickly to expand this channel by adding additional customer bill pay apps on iOS, Android and blackberry platforms this year," Hamed Shahbazi, chairman and CEO of TIO Networks said in a statement.
TIO Q2 2011 revenue INCREASES 58%
Financial & business highlights:
1) Q2 revenue increased 58% over the same period one year ago;
2) Q2 Transactions increased 90% year over year;
3) Q2 Cash flow from operations before non-cash working capital items was $305,440 compared with $70,010 for the same period one year ago;
4) The negative impact of US/CAN dollar exchange on revenue was $400,000 and $755,000 respectively for the comparative quarter and six month periods one year ago;
5) During the quarter, TIO processed 3,849,991 transactions worth US$210 Million in payment proceeds;
6) Added 35,000 new location endpoints through the Moneygram alliance to end the quarter with greater than 58,000 activated location endpoints; and
7) Launched industry’s first mobile bill payment application for a major US utility. The app quickly gained traction and was recognized as one of the top 50 free finance apps on the app store and used by thousands of utility customers
The chastising was warranted at the time.
In light of new evidence you are off the hook.
Ok. I see where that can be interpreted as commercial deployment to customers.
I personally didnt read it that way but it is concievable that someone unfamiliar with deployment protocol could.
Thanks JJ.
From the PR you are alluding to:
"...announced today it has completed development of its proprietary automated compounding and unit dose dispensing device, Cardio-Assist™, which will be installed in coming weeks at a functioning clinical site for final acceptance. The Company expects to commence commercial deployment during the first quarter of 2011."
Where in the above statement does it say that it is ready for deployment? Yesterday's PR was about validation which a crucial step. It says above that the company expects deployment in first quarter of 2011. There is no contradiction.
We are on track. We are ready for deployment. We are a GO. If you cant grasp the english language as its presented then dont try to read between the lines or make it up as you go. We already have enough fiction on this board with some of the posters and their augmented realities.
GLTA
Can you please find that press release?
The OS definitely affects the rate of appreciation for the pps but it by no means limits it. Revenues limit the pps. If you can generate enough revenue then the OS is irrelevant. Sirius XM has aproximately 4 Billion shares out and is trading closer to 2$.
Its all about revenues. The K and the Q are going to drive this bus. POSC is screaming down the highway, but its an uphill highway with a bunch of screaming kids in the back. Once we are over the hump the bus will move on its own momentum alone.
I wouldnt expect on-going Attrius sales to be PR'd as they are part of the cycle now. The only time we will here about them is in the Q's or when they are officially marketed/adapted for anything beyond cardiac.
Pat always said the Attrius sales will help fund the growth of the company. PosiRX is that evolution in growth.
Onward and upward. Looking forward to the 10-K.
Great stuff. Glad to hear the conference has been positive and there is interest in the machine.
First deployment recipients should be PR'd hopefully.
Good volume so far today. Havent seen it spike like this for quite a while. Lets hope something is brewing.
Mining aggregate for the oil sands pays off for Athabasca Minerals
TSX:ABM
We’re just not that sexy, say the four guys gathered in their boardroom. They’re not talking about themselves, though, but about the work they do. These guys are in the gravel business and, on the surface, it’s hard to imagine anything less sexy than little rocks and sand.
But making money is always sexy, and these guys do that all right, for themselves and their fellow investors.
Think Fort McMurray, and what springs to mind is oil. That’s the multibillion-dollar industry most investors are fixated on.
But there are other, less direct, ways to play the oil sands, and the guys in question at Athabasca Minerals Inc. (TSX:ABM) run a company that does just that. Athabasca manages a huge gravel pit called Susan Lake just north of Fort Mac. Gravel is a crucial commodity in the bitumen-extraction business. It’s used to make the huge and growing network of haul roads the big trucks use to transport the oil sand to processing plants. It’s also used in the construction of those processing plants and other infrastructure, as well as for surrounding highways and roads.
It’s so crucial, in fact, that the government’s policy is to effectively cap prices on the two gravel pits Athabasca leases and runs. Athabasca manages the gravel pits but doesn’t operate in a hands-on way; its customers, the big oil companies, do that. They send in their own equipment, digging up, crushing and hauling the rocks themselves. Athabasca is paid a small fee per tonne to manage the resource, which means they make sure it’s mined in an efficient way.
So while the value of the aggregates (gravel, etc.) that Athabasca manages is big, the company’s top line isn’t. That said, it’s growing steadily, and the company is a profitable one that earns solid returns on its investment. What also recommends it to the investor is a management team that’s been involved in the business for a long time and owns more than 40 per cent of the stock.
But it’s not – as the executives, led by veteran Dom Kriangkum, bemoan – a sexy story. True, the company has been looking around for other minerals like silica sand, limestone, dolomite and salt, which are also needed in the oil sands industry. And they’ve tried to sex up the story by looking for rare earth minerals, which adds a certain cachet.
But your columnist maintains that Athabasca is a sexy story. It might not be Scarlett Johansson sexy, but who really is, other than Scarlett herself? It’s more Meryl Streep: mature, yes, but full of surprises.

ABM pps is moving up. The float is low and insiders are holding aprox 40% of it.
Just secured a huge aggregate development catering to the oilsands. This is UNCAPPED aggregate supply which means the price will be dicated by market demand. Some have called for a 20X increase in profit once the resource is farmed into production.
Current pps is .45 aprox. Great opportunity for a 5 - 10 bagger.

Xebec Announces License and Development Agreement with Nuvera Fuel Cells for Advanced Hydrogen Purification
BLAINVILLE, QC, (march 17, 2011) - Xebec Adsorption Inc. (TSX: XBC) ("Xebec"), a provider of biogas upgrading, natural gas and hydrogen purification solutions for the clean energy market, announced today that it has signed a license and engineering service agreement for a total value of USD 3.25 million with Nuvera Fuel Cells (“Nuvera”) to allow for the development of two rapid cycle hydrogen purification units for use in hydrogen refueling and merchant hydrogen applications. Under the terms of the agreements, Xebec will receive an upfront payment of USD 1.75 million and the remainder over the course of the development period.
The development work Xebec will perform under this engineering service agreement (“ESA”) builds on previous development programs that Xebec has conducted over the past 10 years, and in particular builds on previously completed product development projects for advanced separation and rapid cycle PSA technology. In addition, Xebec has entered into a license agreement with Nuvera for some of its hydrogen purification related Intellectual Property (IP) for refueling and merchant hydrogen applications.
Kurt Sorschak, President and CEO of Xebec said, “We are very happy to strengthen our relationship with Nuvera, because of their focus towards development and commercialization of key hydrogen energy technologies. Our partnership will allow us to address global challenges such as rising energy costs, energy security, increasing power consumption and environmental quality on a more rapid basis. We, at Xebec, are proud to be associated with Nuvera in this effort. ”
Xebec also announced the departure of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Ginette Gagné, effective March 14, to pursue other avenues. The company would like to thank Mrs. Gagné, for her dedicated work over the last 11 months and wishes her well in her future endeavors. Mrs. Lyne Routhier, C.A., currently the Corporate Controller of the company, will assume the responsibility of Chief Financial Officer on an interim basis.
Xebec and Southern California Gas Co. Launch Technology to Turn Sewage Waste into Renewable Energy
Xebec’s groundbreaking technology purifies biogas from sewage treatment plant and turns it into energy for potential use in homes and businesses
BLAINVILLE, QC, (February 8, 2011) - Xebec Adsorption Inc. (TSX: XBC) ("Xebec"), watched today as their innovative biogas technology was used to launch the first renewable energy project in California to purify biogas from a wastewater treatment facility (WWTF), to meet California’s stringent natural gas quality standards. The new biogas purification plant at the Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility in Escondido, CA is a joint project of the city, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy NYSE:SRE) and Xebec. Xebec has provided the engineering, procurement, construction and management (EPCM) for this $2.7 million US project.
“Today represents an important achievement for Xebec,” said Kurt Sorschak, President and CEO of Xebec, a provider of biogas upgrading, natural gas and hydrogen purification solutions for the clean, energy market. “Using Xebec’s technology, the city of Escondido has the potential to produce enough natural gas to serve 1,200 homes with absolutely no negative impact on the environment, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering the overall dependence on fossil fuel derived products. As the first Canadian company to introduce this groundbreaking technology to the state of California, we believe we are one step closer to achieving our company’s vision of a world powered by clean energy.”
California is one of the world’s most advanced markets for green energy and is rapidly increasing its interest in using biogas as a source of renewable energy. Biogas produced by wastewater treatment facilities represents a large source of previously untapped renewable energy. The United States has approximately 16,000 WWTF of which 540 have been identified as being large enough to warrant biogas utilization, and only two currently produce renewable gas. Normally, biogas is burned off or “flared” and released into the atmosphere, a process that generates greenhouse gas emissions. This new facility, and others that may follow, could help California meet its Renewable Portfolio Standard goal of 33 per cent of energy being from renewable sources by 2020.
“Our revolutionary kinetic pressure swing adsorption technology enables us to remove nitrogen and oxygen in a single process step, while at the same time separating carbon dioxide and water,” said Mr. Sorschak. “This gives us a solid competitive advantage in an ever-growing marketplace that needs to address ways of producing renewable gas that meets government renewable energy targets and environmental goals like lower carbon footprints.”
Over the next twelve months, the newly purified gas at the Escondido site will be monitored and tested for potential injection into the natural gas pipeline system.

Any insight you could provide regarding the company from within the industry would be very much appreciated from all longs alike.
I rather have low volume than high short volume.
On a smiliar note: I thought I had him on ignore but I didnt actually enable the ignore feature so I had added him to my block list but still saw his posts. I thought this was just an ignore PM feature.
I just now realized I have to enable the actual feature and now I will enjoy much less noise in my life.
