I disagree with all of your conclusions, except for the comment about stock manipulation. The recent drop, as well as the simultaneous increase in negative and misleading comments (some dressed in sheep clothing) on this board, supports this statement. I was happy to buy more from .38 down to .259. It's going to be a fun December and January. Go MVTG!
I find that very surprising.
You're long MVTG?
As well as buyer's delight!
The ask slapping has already begun. It's been a while since shares were bought before the open. Go MVTG
Ya think?
I disagree with your conclusions, over and over and over again.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to buy cheap shares!!!!!
That was my $167.50, and I'm proud of it- been adding all week. You're comical.
That was a totally compelling interview. I like what I heard and will be adding more. Wow.
Mantra Energy Receives Further Federal Funding
11/12/14, 9:15 AM
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/12/14 -- Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., a subsidiary of Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OCTQB: MVTG), has announced that it has received further funding from Canadian government organizations. Both the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and Mitacs, a national funding organization, have awarded funding to support two Ph.D. engineers on post-doctoral fellowships with the company.
The NSERC IRDF award will provide $60,000 over two years to support Dr. Tirdad Nickchi, an electrochemical corrosion expert who received his Ph.D. from UBC in Materials Engineering. Dr. Nickchi obtained his bachelor's and Master's degree from institutions in Iran, and in addition to his education has performed research at Iran's Metallurgical Research Centre and as a post-doctoral fellow at UBC. His extensive experience includes designing electrochemical cells, performing pulsed electrodeposition, chemical bath stabilization, the design and construction of physical vapor deposition systems, the study of electrochemical corrosion, and the assembly, calibration, operation, and development of novel techniques for a scanning electrochemical microscope. With Mantra, Dr. Nickchi will be focusing on catalyst development and characterization.
The Mitacs Elevate award will provide $75,000 over two years to support Dr. Piotr Forysinski in collaboration with Professor Elod Gyenge of UBC. Dr. Forysinski, who has been working with Mantra since July, is a Ph.D. Physical Chemist who will be developing to demonstration Mantra's innovative fuel cell, the MRFC.
"We are very appreciative of the support of NSERC and Mitacs, which has allowed us to bring incredibly talented individuals like Drs. Nickchi and Forysinski to the team in critical capacities," said Patrick Dodd, Mantra's VP of Corporate Development.
These most recent awards round out a highly successful year of such grants for Mantra. Earlier this year, the company announced two NSERC Engage grants for its work with the Institute national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and UBC, totaling $50,000. Shortly thereafter, the company received one Mitacs and two NSERC grants to support its personnel.
Recently, the company announced the receipt of a $450,000 grant for a three-year project with INRS, building on the earlier funded work between the two.
In total, Mantra has been approved for $792,500 in funding from NSERC and Mitacs to support projects and personnel over the next three years.
"The continued support of these institutions provides both capital and validation for the company and its technologies," said Mantra CEO Larry Kristof.
About Mantra Venture Group
Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCQB: MVTG) is a clean technology incubator that takes innovative emerging technologies and moves them towards commercialization. The Company, through its subsidiary Mantra Energy Alternatives, is currently developing two groundbreaking electrochemical technologies designed to make reducing greenhouse gas emissions profitable, ERC (Electro-Reduction of Carbon Dioxide) and MRFC (Mixed-Reactant Fuel Cell).
ERCis a form of "carbon capture and utilization" (CCU) that converts the polluting greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into useful, valuable products including formic acid and formate salts. By utilizing clean electricity, the process offers the potential for an industrial plant to reduce emissions while generating a salable product and a profit.
The MRFC is an unconventional fuel cell that uses a mixture of fuel and oxidant, thereby greatly reducing the complexity and cost of the fuel cell system. Ideal for portable applications, the MRFC is cheaper, lighter, and more compact than conventional fuel cell technologies.

It's definitely cyclical. I remember when I first saw such posts 6 months ago I got scared. Not now- wishing I had more funds to average down...
Mantra and INRS Awarded Strategic Project Grant
10/28/14, 4:37 PM
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/28/14 -- Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCQB: MVTG) and its subsidiary, Mantra Energy Alternatives Ltd., have announced the successful award of a NSERC Strategic Project Grant along with their collaborator, Professor Daniel Guay of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS). Through the grant, NSERC will provide approximately $450,000 of funding for the three-year research collaboration, which will develop the electro-reduction of CO2 (ERC) process.
The goal of NSERC's Strategic Project Grants is to "increase research and training in target areas that could strongly enhance Canada's economy, society and/or environment within the next 10 years." With a nominal success rate of 25%, the grant is awarded only to those research projects that fit into important target areas identified by NSERC and will likely deliver significant benefits to Canada's economy and environment.
Said Mantra's CEO Larry Kristof, "We are very pleased to see another example of the scientific community and government recognizing the importance of this technology and providing support for its development."
The Mantra-INRS project will seek to identify improved catalysts for the electrochemical reduction of CO2, a technology that Mantra is currently in the process of commercializing. With a significant budget and the electrochemical expertise and state-of-the-art equipment resources of INRS, the project is expected to result in significant breakthroughs in catalysis for Mantra's technology.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to make important advancements in our technology," said Patrick Dodd, Mantra's VP of Corporate Development. "Having recently completed a smaller project with Professor Guay, we are very confident that our teams can jointly deliver these advancements."
Professor Guay is an expert in the field of novel materials for energy storage and conversion, and specifically in catalysis for electochemical cells.
Said Professor Guay, "This collaboration constitutes a great opportunity for the students involved to work closely with a company on the long-term stability of materials."
Do tell, Ecominer!
As someone who rarely posts, but began investing in MVTG in February and reads these posts daily, I find the recent barrage of negative comments fascinating. It seems to be cyclical.
Dude- it's Saturday.
No costly heavy metal membrane, and runs on formic acid (and potentially hydrazine), as opposed to hydrogen?
I notice you only post on this board, every one of them is negative or suggestive of doubt (some overt and others rather subtle), and you say you don't own or plan to own any shares. Why on earth do you spend so much time doing this? I question your motivation.
Ecomike- hi, and thanks for all your DD. May I ask, do you have a timeframe when you expect your SA article to come out?

Does mantra need to do funding in order to break ground with the pilot plant?
AND,
What's to stop the MMs from running this all the way down?
