That's $55 million USD but Canada exported $35 million USD too so net $20 million USD.

What I find encouraging is that these numbers are pre Covid.  I can't see any testing doing anything but expanding from here on in.  Have to think we have learned some lessons in all of this

Raze, you're certainly doing really high value added research for the group here!  I really appreciate it, and value it highly.  MBX could offset even 1/3 of that USD55 million, which would be USD18 million or about CAD 22.7 million.  This alone is double MBX's current annual revenues which are running in the $12 million range.  Now, it would be really great if they ...more

I agree Raze thank you.  I always wondered what happens post Covid to VTM.  Their initial targe is 1m per month.  That seems easily achievable in Ontario.  And then there is the rest of the world. So I'd like to thank you again.  IMO this puts a pin in VTM and it's just a matter of time.  A real business in a market to sell our high quality product.   ...more

 Thank you!!!!! That's a huge number.  It should remove any fear of VTM volumes post COVID. great contribution 
Comment by wizzdumb on Apr 25, 2021 11:04am
Yes, good find. It would make sense that a large proportion of that would be for Ontario. I hope we finally get to see some guidance from management on future sales now that they have large contract agreement(s) in place. This should take out some of the guess work that they have typically had to contend with and should help analysts/potential shareholders value the business more appropriately ...more

Worth repeating for those that think demand for VTM is going to diminish
