RE:Great List of What PYR is Up To

[BCONTVentures]

And it's great having the CEO of Progressive Planet (PLAN) praise the hard work and dedication of PyroGenesis' staff and work.  At the 18:30 mark, Steve Harpur, CEO of PLAN, praises PYR:

Start at the 13:40 mark for the work that PLAN and PYR are doing.

From Magbeach2 (Agoracom): "We should know more in about 28 days after compressive test results...yes, this stuff takes time...listen to the CEO complement Pyro and the two year investement in the possible solution..enjoy"

And from ceo:

@I_M_Volatile It also validates the time it takes to work on these complicated projects. It was mentioned the original time frame was estimated to take a year, but working through some enormous problem it took two.

And an older video from Progressive Planet Solutions Inc.'s CEO, Stephen Harpur, when he presented at the Rivemont MicroCap Cocktail Event in May 2023. Great presentation done by Stephen, in it he talks about the cement industry/cement additives and PLAN/PYR's PozPyro:

The 22:00 mark he talks about what PLAN and PyroGenesis are doing (very interesting).  At the end of the presentation there are a couple of Q&As where he goes into more detail regarding what PLAN and PYR are doing. Very interesting.

@pennytodollar The major difference for me is that almost all other sub-dollar companies waiting for their break wait just as long as PYR but are relying on a single vertical and a single big client. PYR has multimillion dollar sales with international companies in multiple completely unrelated markets. Those aren't even the big "legs on the stool" and all it will take is one of the 5-7 contacts worth a potential $100 million to come in to completely change the lay of the land. PYR with $50-100M cash is going to be a whole different beast.

BCONTVentures wrote:And some great comments from @pennytodollar:

@pennytodollar @Guppy if we get $100M contract and it looks like we might get more, then yes, I totally believe we are looking at $10

@pennytodollar I know it seems a long shot at this very moment, but some of our projects are linked to potential contracts of that size

@pennytodollar given our margins are actually quite good on torches, that would be a P/E ratio in the realm of reason - again assuming the market believes others will follow (and we have a few of that size - each of which I believe becomes more likely to get signed once we have one)

@pennytodollar And also, very easy for hype and frenzy to take over here, PYR is a stock on a lot of radars. If we cross 5 on a solid deal, I think the machine is kicking in again somewhat to bring us higher.

BCONTVentures wrote:And from the Q2 Business Update/Outlook, these can be added to the list of what PYR is up to:

• Plasma-Based Graphite Production:
  The Company is in advanced discussions with an entity engaged in the production of graphite, for a first phase design and delivery of a customized pilot-scale plasma reactor and associated testing system, with an estimated value of between $500,000 to $1 million.
• Plasma-Based Glass Valorization:
  The Company is in final negotiations with an entity in Canada, for a plasma-based furnace for use in the melting and valorization of recycled glass.
• Plasma Torches:
  The Company has been in discussions over several years with a European entity, to act as a potential supplier of plasma torches for the entity’s waste-to-energy initiatives; the entity has, at times, listed PyroGenesis as their torch supplier in various publications online. This entity has recently announced having entered into an agreement with a German multi-Billion-dollar leading technology company to accelerate green energy transition through waste-to-energy technology. The entity announced that it aims to establish 300 plants producing 1 million tons of hydrogen over the next several years.
