RE:PYR NR highlights/commentary - news MUCH BIGGER than U think

RE:PYR NR highlights/commentary - news MUCH BIGGER than U thinkGreat indeed. Except the Client B didnt officially buy 4 torches yet. Did he ?

LONG and STRONG PYR!!


PyroGenesis Signs Initial Plasma Torch Contract with Major Iron Ore Producer

MONTREAL, Nov. 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (https://www.pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), a high-tech company, (the "Company", the “Corporation” or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today

1. INITIAL TORCH ORDER
Keep in mind this NR referring ONLY to the INITIAL torch order.... the objective is to maximize and negotiate best deal for Pyrogenesis. Remember the Saudi sale of Drosite seven systems for $25M netted far more than the initial one system for only $600k then to the same client 1 more for $1.2M...Peter masterfully in the end sold each for over $3.6M each!
- Note the references of the expected future sales w this Client and a seperate after sale service contract.


that it has signed an INITIAL (plasma torch contract (the “Contract”) to provide one high powered (approx. 1MW) plasma torch with ancillary equipment (the “Torch”), with Client A (the “Client”), a major iron ore producer, for approx. $1.8MM. This does not include continued after-sale services, which was not the subject of these initial negotiations. It is expected that future sales with this Client will include a separate continued after-sale services agreement.


2. CLIENT A is VALE
- 99% based on all the DD and strong hint language in the past which would be absolutely incredible to be dealing w this giant gorilla. 
- Selling the INITIAL torch is like selling an initial aircraft engine to giant Boeing OR Lockheed Martin. These torches are NOT something simple to create - they are extremely high tech in which PYR beat out in many world competitors such as in RISE Sweeden deal etc.. .  THIS IS BIG NEWS!!!!!!
- Note the strong statement of the goal to replace all their burnerswith PYR's plasma which is over 10 plants x 50 burners/plant = 500 torches minimum


The Client is a multi-billion-dollar international producer of iron ore pellets, one of the largest in the industry, whose name will remain confidential for competitive reasons. The Client, which has committed to reduce its greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, has over ten (10) plants, each possibly requiring up to 50 plasma torches.

“This is a major milestone for PyroGenesis as it is the first time we have sold a torch system to a major iron ore pelletizer. The first commercial sale is always the hardest in any industry. It is not a secret that the ultimate goal is to replace their fossil fuel burners with our plasma torches.

3. STRON QUOTE FROM THE CONTRACT DIRECTLY
- Strongly indicates and solidifies the direction where this is headed by the desire of the CLIENT - the parties did NOT model for months and travel back/forth from south america for just 1 torch order

Of note, the preamble to the Contract states …whereas [Client’s Name] has demonstrated a willingness to replace its fossil fuel burners with PyroGenesis’ proprietary plasma torches with the goal of reducing greenhouse gases in a furtherance of its stated policy to do so…, which I believe sums up the significance of this announcement,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis.

4. PYR IS IN CONTROL
- Pete desire and preferred methodology/pathway
- he controls the pace and control price of future orders just like how Drosite was maximized in Saudi deal.
- Patents and proprietary tech  gives PYR huge monopoly like firm grip in this massive market they will absolutely dominate
- Excess of $10 BILLION addressable and potential market sales


“We have indeed crossed a threshold. This was our preferred rollout strategy, as it now enables us to better quantify all outstanding aspects of replacing fossil fuel burners with plasma torches, and thus be better positioned to price any additional benefits into future orders. We cannot overemphasize the opportunity this presents. That is not to say that there are no risks moving forward, or that future contracts are guaranteed. That is definitely not true. There are no guarantees, however we can say with certainty that we are conservatively ticking the boxes one by one.”

“With this announcement, PyroGenesis is on its way to assuming a leadership role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions using PyroGenesis’ proprietary plasma torches,” said Mr. Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Strategist of PyroGenesis. “We look forward to leveraging this success into other industries and becoming a premier environmental company geared toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all our business segments.”

The Contract announced today is a direct result of our recent success in the previously disclosed modeling contract which confirmed, amongst other things, that replacing fossil fuel burners with PyroGenesis’ proprietary plasma torches could potentially address the Client’s GHG reduction strategy/policy. (Press Release dated September 1st, 2020)

As previously disclosed, PyroGenesis has the process patent to replace fossil fuel burners with PyroGenesis’ clean plasma torches in the iron ore pelletization industry, thereby reducing GHG emissions. (Press Release dated September 1st, 2020)

Management has estimated internally that a typical pellet plant producing 10 million metric tonnes of pellets annually emits approximately one million metric tonnes of CO21. The total world pellet production of 400 million metric tonnes of pellets represents a potential market for torch sales in excess of $10B worldwide. The world pellet industry generates about 40 million metric tonnes of CO2 every year. The use of plasma torches running off a clean electrical grid would reduce these emissions significantly. For reference, 40 million tonnes of CO2 represent the combined yearly emissions of 8.7 million US passenger vehicles2.

5.  PREPARING FOR MULTIPLE ORDERS
- This is really NOT just for 1 torch as PYR is in reality prepared and expecting many more.
-  Very likely the leasing strategy will grow this exponentially...soon.
- For now we know there is a at least 4 firm torch sales with CLIENT B and a minimum of 1 torch sale for CLIENT A and C each....so that is at least 6 torches for $12Million...soon to be many more


It is expected, with multiple orders, that PyroGenesis would source long lead items ahead of time, and as such, it is expected that the time from contract to final assembly/installation at a client’s facility will be from a couple of weeks up to four (4) months.

Pelletization is the process in which iron ore is concentrated before shipment, thus significantly reducing the cost of transportation, and providing a required feedstock for blast furnaces. In conventional technologies, the process heat is provided by fuel oil or natural gas burners (both environmentally damaging). The combustion, in the burners, of fossil fuels results in the production of greenhouse gases (“GHG”), mainly CO2. Plasma torches, by contrast, utilize renewable electricity and as such offer an environmentally attractive alternative to fossil fuel burners.
