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.  ...more

Thank you again for this information.  It seems to have to get posted very often due to the continuous basher posts that seem to be fixated on irrelevant issues.  The fact of the matter is that Pyro (1) has sufficient funds to carry out it's strategic initiatives (2) these initiatives are proving to be precient. One only needs to review all the News Releases from at least the past ...more

Financials are irrelevant in businesses, ah ok!

No wonder why some posters here are so adamant about PYR, they don’t think financials are relevant for a 30 years old R&D company, Plus they listen to the company’s ceo and believe everything he says, most recently at the Q2 webcast when he mentioned; “Contracts in Q2 came one after another”  and later on “there were large numbers of contracts in Q2”

You're welcome Melida, and great points that you bring up. Definitely lots going on at PyroGenesis, it's worth reviewing the news releases and the Quarterly Business Update/Outlook to understand all that is going on at PYR.
Comment by BCONTVentures on Aug 09, 2024 8:19pm
Note that PYR/HPQ could transform, in one-step, 5 types of industrial processes:   - Silicon (from Quartz, SiO2) - Fumed Silica (LOI with Evonik) - Precipitated Silica - Fused Silica - Graphite (in advanced negotiations, see Q2 Outlook)   From HPQ Silicon’s October 18, 2023 news release:   Lab-scale testing not only confirmed that HPQ Polvere has a one-step technology capable of ...more

And PYR and PLAN are taking raw Quartz and converting it into PozPyro (cement additive).  A great reminder of the work that PyroGenesis and Progressive Planet (PLAN) are doing via PLAN's PozPyro.  Some points worth highlighting the May 2024 NR: In other words, these tests suggest that not only can PozPyro potentially outperform other traditional cement additive products in strength, ...more

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 ...more

Also, great post from Melida worth re-posting: Melida wrote: More importantly, investors have to decide if the technology is legit and whether it can be commercialized (my opinion is yes).  In fact it has been commercialized in some verticals.  We know all this so there's no point in detailing here. Does Pyro have the cash and receivables and opportunities to carry on as a ...more

Well said Melida, great post and worth re-posting. Melida wrote: Pyro is a growth stock on the cusp of commercializing its many applications. Investors are free to agree or disagree with this statement. If they agree, they buy some shares.
