Achieving silicon of acceptable purity for solar-energy applications typically requires several purification steps. Now, a new process has been demonstrated that can produce high-purity Si from low-quality quartz in a single step. The PureVap technology from PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (Montreal, Que.; www.pyrogenesis.com) utilizes a powerful vacuum-arc furnace, combining the carbothermic reduction of silicon and purification into one process, explains Pierre Carabin, chief technology officer for PyroGenesis Canada.

Traditional arc furnaces produce relatively low-purity Si, around 98.5% purity, requiring subsequent purification. Inside the PureVap furnace, low-quality (97.5%) quartz and a carbon source are exposed to heat from a plasma arc, creating CO2 and Si. The vacuum-arc furnace allows for the vaporization of contaminants, including boron and sulfur. By manipulating the metallic vapors’ partial pressures, the contaminants are removed.

In 2016, following successful demonstration of the PureVap process at the laboratory scale, PyroGenesis announced a contract worth over $6 million with Canadian mining company HPQ Silicon Resources, Inc. to develop a pilot plant to produce 200 metric tons per year of high-purity Si. The company expects the plant to start up in late 2017.

In January 2017, PyroGenesis announced a series of successful trials, demonstrating both the scalability and repeatability of the PureVap system, as the company begins scaling up production from grams to kilograms. “We have proven that we can remove the contaminants and make significant quantities of silicon. We’ve also proven that we can consistently produce 99.9% purity silicon. We have been able to produce, on occasion, 99.99% purity,” says Carabin. He goes on to say that the company’s current objective is to increase this purity to at least 99.999%. According to Carabin, this is the only process in the world to convert low-quality quartz into Si of higher than 99.9% purity. “As far as we know, no one else is doing purification directly from the quartz itself.”

PYROGENESIS PROVIDES UPDATE ON POWDER PRODUCTION SYSTEM

ASSEMBLY; ALL COMPONENTS RECEIVED. ON SCHEDULE FOR Q1-2017 COMPLETION

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – March 14, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma based systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that it has received all equipment, parts and components for its powder production system (the “System”), and that the System is well into the assembly phase.
PyroGenesis’ System uses Plasma Atomization to make very pure, small, uniform, fully dense, spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the Additive Manufacturing industry.
PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization. The Company first began producing powders using this technology for the Biomedical industry, between 2001-2004. In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately $2MM in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which not only lead to a patent pending, but also to PyroGenesis’ decision to re-enter the market and produce powders for the Additive Manufacturing industry. The System being built today is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address this increasing need for metal powders in the Additive Manufacturing industry.1
We also confirm today that the first powder run is still on schedule for the end of Q1, and that the ramp up is projected, as previously announced on January 23, 2017, to take place linearly, over the ensuing four (4) months.

“So far there have not been any unforeseen challenges during the assembly phase, and we don’t expect any during the start-up or ramp up phases”, said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “What is noteworthy however, is the amount of interest we are receiving for the supply of our powders from potential customers and investors; the volume of interest from potential customers has taken us all by surprise.”
Additionally, and as previously announced, powders produced during the ramp-up phase will be available for sale. The initial focus will be on producing pure Titanium (CP Ti) and Ti-6Al-4V powders however PyroGenesis has also received interest for other metal powders and expects to attend to this as well.

“There are many factors which set us apart from all other powder producers,” said Mr. Pascali. “For one, the fact that PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization, and has one of the largest concentrations of plasma expertise under one roof, has enabled the Company to not only improve the process significantly, but allow it to continuously improve and thereby enable Additive Manufacturing. Let us not forget that PyroGenesis has produced Titanium powders in the past, and is not new to this prospect. Add to this the fact that there is serious consolidation taking place in the industry which is exasperating an already serious lack of powder suppliers, particulary of the characteristics we supply, all bodes well for PyroGenesis’ strategy to supply unique powders to the Additive Manufacturing industry. In short, we remain confident, and recent events have only made us more optimistic than ever before, that PyroGenesis will quickly become one of the leading metallic powder suppliers to the Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) industry.”

PyroGenesis Announces Completion of Powder Production System; Successful First Run of Powder Production; Start of Ramp-Up; Interest exceeds Expectations.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – March 30, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announces today that, further to its press releases of January 23, 2017 and March 14, 2017, it has completed the assembly of its first powder production system (the “System”), with the first powder run exceeding expectations and ramp-up already underway. The ramp-up is to take place linearly over approximately four (4) months.
“The first production run not only exceeded our expectations in terms of powder quality and production rate”, said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis, “but it also marked both the official start of the ramp-up period and a critical step in achieving our stated goal to become a leading supplier of high purity powders catering to the Additive Manufacturing Industry. The first powders produced were Ti-6Al-4V, one of the most sought after powder on the market. In addition, the System will allow PyroGenesis to produce other materials such as Titanium alloys and nickel based superalloy materials.”

“Although we were confident we would complete the System and first run on schedule and on budget, it is always nice to tick that box”, said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “We were challenged at times by significant delays from suppliers, but it is a testament to the dedication and commitment of PyroGenesis’ team that we make this announcement today. A dedication and commitment one can expect to see throughout this project.”

PyroGenesis’ System uses Plasma Atomization to make, small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the Additive Manufacturing industry.

“What is noteworthy, beyond the technical successes announced today, is the continued interest we are receiving for the supply of our powders from potential customers, the volume of which, and from whom the interest is coming from, continues to take us all by surprise,” said Mr. Pascali. “We did not expect this type of interest before ramp-up was complete, and we would consider any sample orders (i.e. up to 500kg) made before ramp up is complete, to be very significant, and a further validation of our strategic decision to move into powder production.”

“As mentioned before, there are many factors which set us apart from all other powder producers,” added Mr. Pascali. “For one, the fact that PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization, and has one of the largest concentrations of plasma expertise under one roof, has enabled the Company to not only improve the process significantly, but allow it to continuously improve and thereby enable Additive Manufacturing.

PyroGenesis Receives First Payment of $139K Under Previously Announced Military Contract

PyroGenesis Receives First Payment of $139K Under Previously Announced Military Contract for US $950,000 to Upgrade Company’s Plasma System for the Destruction of Chemical Warfare Agents
MONTREAL, Quebec (Marketwired September 14, 2016) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), (the "Company" or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release of July 25, 2016, the Company has received the first payment of $139K under a previously announced military contract of US $950,000 (approx. CDN$1.25MM), wherein the Company was contracted to provide additional testing on, and further improvements to, the Company’s Tactical Mobile Plasma System used for the Destruction of Chemical Warfare Agents (the “Contract”). As announced, the Company was awaiting the Client’s approval before providing the details below.
PyroGenesis was first engaged by its client, a multi-national military consortium (the “Client”), to develop a first of its kind Tactical Mobile Plasma System (the “System”) to be used for the destruction of Chemical Warfare Agents, such as those discovered, and being dealt with, in Syria. This System has since been completed and, subsequently, PyroGenesis was awarded, and now completed, two (2) additional contracts relating to the System. The first was to perform in-depth testing of the System at the Company's facilities in Montreal, Canada; the second was to further automate the System.
This new Contract is aimed at enhancing the System’s reliability and performance, including upgrading several of its components. Once the upgrades are completed, the Company will perform specific long duration performance tests using surrogate material. During this period, PyroGenesis will also train specialized personnel to enable them to be able to perform final testing with live agents at the Client's facilities. Once the local testing and training is complete, the System will be refurbished, packaged, and sent abroad for live testing. The Client is planning to spend an additional US $100MM during this final testing phase of PyroGenesis’ System.
According to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, 6,715 metric tonnes of declared chemical warfare agent (“CWA”), such as the ones used in Syria, still remain worldwide1. Many of these stockpiles are aging and are too dangerous to transport, making PyroGenesis’ Tactical Mobile Plasma System an ideal solution for this problem.
PyroGenesis has received total funding of approximately US $2MM (including this new Contract) to develop this technology. “What was merely an idea a few years ago,” said Pierre Carabin, Director of Engineering of PyroGenesis, “is now a full scale operating reality. We are looking forward to the further improvements and testing program of the System”.
Work on this new Contract is expected to be completed by Q1-2017.
“This Contract is a testament to the level of confidence the military has in our experience and expertise,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “It further underscores our
1www.opcw.org
ability to perform to military standards which is serving us well as we expand into several other fast growing business segments.”
Separately, the Company announces today that Ms. Sophy Cesar, VP, Investor Relations and Communications, will no longer be employed by the Company as at September 21, 2016.

PYROGENESIS ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFULLY DESTROYING SIMULATED CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS FOR THE US MILITARY; EXCEEDING 99.9999% DESTRUCTION EFFICIENCY.
http://www.pyrogenesis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/SUCCES…

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – April 19, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis” or “PCI”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma based systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release of September 14, 2016, PyroGenesis has, in coordination with the US-based Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), successfully completed long-duration performance tests using the Company’s tactical Plasma Arc Chemical Warfare Agents Destruction System (“PACWADS” or the “System”) using surrogate chemical warfare agent material. These tests supported the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Agnostic Compact Demilitarization of Chemical Agents (ACDC) program and far exceeded minimum requirements with over 99.9999% destruction efficiency.

“DARPA’s mission is to make pivotal investments in breakthrough technologies, to affect transformational change instead of incremental advances. In the scope of this project, PyroGenesis’ System is the key to revolutionizing the mobile destruction of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs)”, said Jean-René Gagnon, Process Engineering Lead at PyroGenesis. “The Company is proud to be working with such a prestigious partner on such a challenging project.”
PyroGenesis’ PACWADS is a stand-alone thermal treatment device, with a liquid scrubber system. This mature technology is designed to be easily transported and deployed in a field setting, close to where threats may be found, to rapidly and safely destroy a wide range of chemical warfare agents. The System successfully underwent CWA simulant testing at the PyroGenesis facility in Montreal, Canada, in January and February of 2017. The System demonstrated greater than a 6-log reduction in CWA simulant and the effective scrubbing of acid gases.
Under the DARPA ACDC program, SwRI designed a scrubber system that neutralizes toxic CWA decomposition products and acid gases into non-hazardous components by safely incorporating these compounds into soil and changing their state. The system is a modular and mobile unit. After the chemicals are destroyed, exhaust gases are passed through a soil-based scrubber beds where the byproducts of combustion are captured and further baked using a novel soil-based pollution abatement system. The soil, after use, remains non-hazardous and useful.
In February 2017, the SwRI soil-based scrubber module was connected to the PyroGenesis PACWADS plasma combustion chamber exhaust and tested. CWA simulants were destroyed by the plasma torch in a series of tests emulating destruction of CWA agents sarin (GB), soman (GD), and mustard (HD). The two modules – plasma torch front end, and ACDC soil scrubber back end – demonstrated a more than 99.9999% efficiency in CWA simulant reduction and the effective scrubbing of acid gases within a soil medium.
“If successful, PACWADS will be one of the few technologies in the world certified to destroy CWAs. PyroGenesis anticipates that receiving this certification will open the door to additional opportunities,
such as the safe destruction of Ebola contaminated material, just to name one”, said Philippe Beaulieu, Senior Project Manager at PyroGenesis.
“A successfully developed system would safely destroy chemical warfare agent stockpiles onsite without having to transport these highly toxic chemicals to a remote location for processing,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Successfully completing this contract reflects the significant advances that we, at PyroGenesis, have achieved, and which we expect to continue to achieve in the area of defense and chemical warfare agent destruction. This, coupled with the fact that our plasma based waste destruction system is specified in the design of the new generation US aircraft carrier, with two systems already having been delivered, further solidifies our position within the US military as being the ‘go-to’ supplier of plasma-based solutions.”
Separately, PyroGenesis announces today that a series of warrants previously issued by the Company has been fully exercised. The warrants were issued in connection with a private placement offering completed on November 26, 2014, which terms were subsequently amended to effectively reduce the exercise price from $0.55 to $0.195, and to extend the expiration date from November 26, 2016 to November 26, 2017. As a result of such exercise, the Company received an aggregate amount of $417,857.12, and issued 2,142,857 common shares in its share capital.
PyroGenesis is also pleased to announce that it recently became a member of the 8020 Connect community. 8020 Connect (www.8020connect.com) is the investment industry's newest social investor network, developed to deliver corporate information to shareholders, investment industry experts and like-minded investors, while enabling these group members to interact with one another and with the company's corporate management team.

PyroGenesis Announces First Order for 3D Printing Powders

Darauf habe ich gewartet und jetzt noch keine Zeit die News richtig zu lesen

PyroGenesis Announces First Order for 3D Printing Powders from a Multinational Conglomerate; Down Payment Received; Interest exceeds Expectations
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – April 25, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release dated March 30, 2017, it has signed its first contract, and received the down payment, for an order of titanium powder (Ti-6Al-4V) and Inconel from a multinational conglomerate (the “Client”), the name and origin of which will not be disclosed for competitive reasons. Note, this order was placed during the ramp-up phase of the Company’s powder production system (the “System”).
“As previously announced on March 30, 2017, we did not expect this type of interest before ramp-up was complete, and we would have considered any sample orders (i.e. up to 500kg) made before such time to be very significant as this further validates our strategic decision to enter into powder production,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “This order is a sample order and is most significant in terms of timing and who the Client is, rather than the dollar value itself. The fact that a multinational conglomerate has taken the time to sample our powders before the ramp-up phase is complete is extremely noteworthy. We believe that the contract announced today is just one of many to come. We are very pleased with these developments which we believe underscore the interest in the marketplace for PyroGenesis’ products and unique expertise.”

PyroGenesis’ System uses Plasma Atomization to make small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) industry.

PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization. The Company first began producing powders using this technology for the biomedical industry between 2001-2004. In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately $2MM in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which not only led to a patent pending, but also to PyroGenesis’ decision to re-enter the market and produce powders for the AM industry. The System is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address an increasing need for metal powders in the AM industry.1

Additionally, PyroGenesis announces today that it has signed a number of agreements with significant and potential players in the AM industry, wherein the Company is in discussions

regarding the possibility of concluding certain business relationships or transactions related to AM, most notably geared to the production of powders.
“These are very exciting times for PyroGenesis,” said Mr. Pascali. “These events seem to further validate our decision to enter the additive manufacturing industry, and although noteworthy, we caution concluding that anything of significance will happen quickly. Discussions take time and we are still in the early phases.”
“The ramp-up phase will continue through the remainder of the second quarter of 2017, of which we note that the operational performance and progress to date far exceed our expectations,” said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “Our team remains focused and dedicated to our commitments to deliver high quality powders to the additive manufacturing industry, while continuing to innovate and improve our process which is arguably, already, the gold standard for the industry.”
Finally, as previously announced, the metal powders produced during the ramp-up phase are available for sale. The initial focus is on producing commercially pure Titanium (CP Ti) and Ti-6Al4V powders; however PyroGenesis is receiving interest for other metal powders as well which it is also attending to.

PyroGenesis Announces 2016 Results: Revenues Decrease 16%; Gross Margins (before non-cash items) Increase to 41%; EBITDA (Adj.) Improves 33% Year Over Year; Current Backlog $9.9MM
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - April 28, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX VENTURE:PYR) (OTCQB:PYRNF), a high-tech company (the "Company" or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today its financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
"Despite a decrease of 16% in revenues, and non-cash write-offs totaling $2.8MM, we believe we have had a challenging but stellar year in 2016, and have positioned the Company well for the coming years," said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. "2016 was a pivotal year for PyroGenesis as the Company shifted its focus away from being a fabricator of plasma- based systems that produced unique titanium powders, in favour of becoming a producer of such powders for the Additive Manufacturing Industry. This strategic decision resulted, in early 2016, in the termination of a $12.5MM contract to deliver ten (10) powder production systems to a client in Asia, which understandably put significant pressure on cash flows. This was further exacerbated by the need to secure funds to build the first powder production unit. Notwithstanding these challenges, the Company, in 2016, not only successfully managed the cash flow demands but has built its first powder production unit while at the same time improving Gross Margins (after non-cash items) to 41% (2015:27.1%), reducing EBITDA (Adj) loss year over year and ending the year with a healthy backlog of signed contracts of $9.9MM (2016 revenues: $5.2MM; 2015 revenues: $6.2MM), none of which are attributable to Additive Manufacturing."
Highlights
2016 was a year in which PyroGenesis posted:
A decrease of 16% in Revenues to $5,222,133 year over year;

An increase in Gross margins (before amortization of intangible assets and write-offs of inventories and costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts) to 41.6%. (2015: 27.1%);

EBITDA loss of $4.9MM (including 2.8MM of write-offs);

Adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7MM in Q4, 2016 (an improvement of 33% year over year);

A backlog of $9.9MM at December 31, 2016.

Outlook
2016 has been a pivotal year for PyroGenesis as the Company shifted its focus away from being a fabricator of plasma-based systems that produced unique titanium powders, in favour of becoming a producer of such powders for the Additive Manufacturing Industry. These powders are greatly sought after by the Additive Manufacturing industry given their unique properties which include pure, small, spherical, and uniform, allowing them to flow like water; a characteristic that is extremely important in industries such as 3D printing.
This strategic decision, made in early 2016, combined with the termination of the $12.5MM contract to deliver 10 powder production systems to a client in Asia, put significant pressure on cash flows, which was further exacerbated by the need to secure funds to build our first production unit. We are happy to announce that we have been successful on both fronts.
Removing the effect of the onetime non-cash write-offs of $2.8MM reveals the following results for 2016.
Gross Margin increased from 27% in 2015 to over 41% in 2016 despite a decrease in Revenues by 16% to $5.2MM in 2016 over 2015;

Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased from ($2.6MM) in 2015 to ($1.7MM) in 2016;

Over $13.5MM in contracts were signed, and work begun on, since June 30, 2016 which, taken in context of historic revenues (2016: $5.2MM; 2015: $6.2MM; 2014: $5.8MM) is quite significant. A significant portion of these contracts are expected to run through the financials in 2017. None of these revenues reflect any contracts for the sale of powders.

As previously mentioned, 2017 looks like a breakout year for a number of reasons, including:
The healthy gross margin (before consideration of the 2016 write-offs) established in 2016 is not only expected to continue into the foreseeable future, but improve once powder production is in full swing.
Established backlog of signed contracts, the majority of which are expected to be completed in 2017.
Our traditional lines of business are poised to contribute significantly to the bottom line, namely:

Powder Production: The Company has met every milestone announced on the road to making metal powders for the Additive Manufacturing ("AM") Industry. It was recently announced that the assembly of the first powder production system was completed and that the first powder run exceeded expectations. The ramp up is under way and is expected to take place linearly over approximately four (4) months of which we are currently 25% complete. As announced in recent press releases interest has far exceeded Managements' expectations and an initial contract was signed for a sample amount of powder. Also recently announced was the fact that the Company has signed a number of agreements with significant and potential players in the AM industry reflecting various discussions regarding the possibility of concluding certain business relationships or transactions geared to the production of powders. This bodes well for 2017. The current system is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address an increasing need for metal powders in the AM industry.1

DROSRITE™: The DROSRITE™ Furnace System was proven out at a North American customer's Mexican facility during the first half of 2016. Soon thereafter, a successful demonstration of the DROSRITE™ System in the Middle East took place, following which an unsolicited request to exclusively market the process in the region was received and is currently being discussed. Management's belief that the supply and installation of the first commercial sale in North America would enable the Company to leverage this success to generate a continued flow of orders for additional DROSRITE™ systems is being borne out. This recent flurry of activity and interest for the DROSRITE™ system bodes well for 2017 where we now expect to have at least 3 orders placed and delivered. We expect the first follow on contracts to be signed in the 2nd half of 2017. The market potential for PyroGenesis' DROSRITE™ system, from Aluminium dross alone, exceeds $400MM.

HPQ: On August 2, 2016 PyroGenesis announced that it had signed contracts totalling CDN $8,260,000 with HPQ Silicon Resources Inc., formally Uragold Bay Resources Inc. for the sale of IP and to provide a 200 metric tonne (MT) per year PUREVAP™ pilot system to produce silicon metal directly from quartz. This system will for the most part be constructed in 2017, with advancement of the contract accelerating in the second half of the year. According to percent completion accounting standards for revenue recognition the majority of these revenues will be recognized in the 2nd half of 2017. Of note, if successful, PyroGenesis benefits from a 10% royalty on all revenues derived from the use of this system by HPQ, subject to annual minimums.

Chemical Warfare Destruction System: The Company recently announced that PyroGenesis has, in coordination with the US-based Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), successfully completed long-duration performance tests using the Company's tactical Plasma Arc Chemical Warfare Agents Destruction System ("PACWADS") using surrogate chemical warfare agent material. These tests supported the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Agnostic Compact Demilitarization of Chemical Agents (ACDC) program and far exceeded minimum requirements with over 99.9999% destruction efficiency. The PACWADS is now scheduled to go through final testing using real chemical warfare agents by the US Military). These tests should be completed by the end of Q3 2017 (this timeline, however is out of the Company's control). Again this bodes well for 2017 as we would expect additional contracts resulting from a successful completion of the final testing. However, no indication has been given as to the size, if any, such procurement would entail.

Other Contracts: There are other contracts being discussed (such as a third order for a PAWDS for a New US Aircraft Carrier which is expected to be ordered sometime towards the end of 2017/beginning of 2018 with an estimated value of approximately $6MM; SPARC system sales, amongst others) which give us confidence that overall 2017 looks like a break out year.

1 Wohlers Report 2016 (ISBN 978-0-9913332-2-6)
These points are strongly indicative of a strong performance in the coming year, and based on existing contracts, the Company expects to be profitable in 2017 excluding any contribution from powder sales as noted above. Further underscoring the sentiment for 2017, is how our entrance as a powder producer has been so well received by the Additive Manufacturing community.
Management remains focused on reducing PyroGenesis' dependency on long-cycle projects by developing a strategic portfolio of volume driven, high margin/low risk products that resolve specific problems within niche markets, and doing so by introducing these plasma-based technologies to industries that have yet to consider such solutions.
Management is also actively targeting recurring revenue opportunities that will generate a growing, and profitable, regular cash flow to the Company.
PyroGenesis has one of the largest concentrations of plasma expertise in the world, with over 250 years of accumulated technical experience and 59 patents, combined with unique relationships with major Universities performing cutting edge plasma research and development, which positions the Company well to execute this strategy.
All indications are that 2017 will be a breakout year for more than one of the Company's product lines. The Company's focus will continue to be to generate an improved mix of short and long term projects that will, in turn, facilitate operational and financial planning. Repeat orders for the same, or similar, products will further result in the standardization of manufacturing processes which will lead to improved gross margins.
Financial Summary
Revenues
The Company posted revenues of $1,483,543 in the fourth quarter of 2016 ("Q4, 2016"), representing a decrease of 33% compared with $2,228,272 recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 ("Q4, 2015"). Revenue recorded in Fiscal 2016 was generated primarily from (i) the sale of intellectual property and development of a vacuum arc reducing process to convert Silica into high purity Silicon metal, (ii) manufacture and further field testing of Tactical PACWADS, the first mobile plasma system for destruction of chemical warfare agents under contract with an international military consortium, (iii) the demonstration of the viability of PyroGenesis' existing plasma chemical warfare agent destruction platform with locally available materials, for the complete eradication of chemical warfare agents without creating hazardous by-products, (iv) support services related to PAWDS-Marine systems supplied to the US Navy and (v) to manufacture and deliver a fully automated plasma torch system comprised of six air plasma torches to be used for waste gasification.
Cost of Sales and Services and Gross Margins
Cost of sales and services before amortization of intangible assets and write-offs of inventories and costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts was $3,051,356 in 2016, representing a decrease of 33% compared with $4,551,090 in 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the cost of sales and services before amortization of intangible assets and write-offs of inventories and costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts was $901,072 representing a decrease of 41% compared with $1,538,828 in Q4, 2015.
Various factors, including, but not limited to a write-off of inventories and costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, the mix of long and short-term manufacturing projects, project complexity and scale, and project R&D content, may significantly impact both the composition and overall level of cost of sales and services reported in a given period, as the mix of labor, materials and equipment may be significantly different.
The costs incurred in 2016 are primarily attributable to managements decision to write-off inventories and costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, the work completed under PyroGenesis' project to develop a vacuum arc reducing process to convert Silica into high purity Silicon metal, together with work completed on the final, phase to design, manufacture and deliver a fully automated plasma torch system comprised of six air plasma torches to be used for waste gasification, work completed on the tactical mobile plasma system for destruction of chemical warfare agents under contract with an international military consortium, and support services related to PAWDS Marine systems supplied to the US Navy.
Investment tax credits recorded against cost of sales are primarily related to client funded projects that qualify for tax credits from the provincial government of Quebec. Qualifying tax credits decreased to $249,550 in 2016, compared with $544,676 in 2015, this is primarily due to the Company having adjusted the 2016 qualifying tax credits to incorporate amounts disallowed for the 2015 qualifying tax credits. This represents a decrease of 54% year-over-year. The Company continues to make investments in research and development projects incorporating the involvement of strategic partners and government bodies.
In 2016, the gross margin before amortization of intangible assets and write-offs of inventories and costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts was $2,170,777, which represents 41.6% of revenue. This compares with a gross margin before amortization of intangible assets of $1,690,913 (27.1% of revenue) for 2015.
The amortization of intangible assets of $1,396,675 in 2016 ($1,397,074 in 2015) relates to the licenses and know-how purchased in 2011 from a company under common control. This expense is a non-cash item and the underlying asset is fully amortized by December 31, 2016.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for 2016 were $4,320,862, representing a decrease of 7% compared with $4,648,473 reported for 2015. Excluding the costs associated with share-based compensation (a non-cash item in which options vest over a four year period), SG&A expenses decreased by 8% in 2016 compared with 2015.
The decrease in SG&A expenses is attributable to the net effect of (i) an increase of 1% in employee compensation, (ii) a decrease of 18% for professional fees, primarily due to lower accounting fees, (iii) a decrease of 10% in office and general costs, primarily due lower communication expenses, (iv) travel costs decreased by 20%, due to less travel abroad, (v) depreciation on property and equipment decreased by 22% due to a reduced level of investments in machinery and equipment since 2010, when major acquisitions were made, (vi) government grants decreased by 41% due to lower level of activities supported by such grants, (vii) other expenses decreased by 34%, primarily due to the reduced cost of freight and shipping costs and (viii) an increase in share base payments of 12% primarily due to the vesting structure of the stock option plan and the stock options offered on September 25, 2016.
Separately, share based payments increased by 12% as a result of the vesting structure of the stock option plan and for new options issued in 2016.
Total Comprehensive Loss
The comprehensive loss for 2016 was $6,952,219 compared to a loss of $4,917,779 in 2015, representing an increase of 41% year-over-year.
The increase of $2,034,440 in the comprehensive loss in 2016 is primarily attributable to: (i) a decrease in product and service related revenue of $1,019,871 arising in 2016, (ii) a decrease in cost of sales and services totaling $1,500,134, primarily due to the concentration of engineering on developing the 3D printing powder production system, (iii) a decrease in SG&A expenses of $327,611 arising in 2016 primarily due to a decrease in professional fees, (iv) a decrease in R&D expenses of $44,625 primarily due to the fact that some of the R&D expenses were capitalized, (v) an increase in net finance costs of $132,501 that is primarily due to interest on the convertible debenture and the tax credit loans obtained in 2016, (vi) an increase of $2,754,438 for the write- off of inventories and costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.
EBITDA
The EBITDA loss in 2016 was $4,869,297 compared with an EBITDA loss of $2,930,637 for 2015, representing an increase of 66%. The increase in the EBITDA loss in 2016 compared with 2015 includes amounts written-off of $2,754,438.
Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2016 was $1,748,834 compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $2,602,987 for 2015. The decrease of $854,153 in the Adjusted EBITDA loss in 2016 is attributable to the increased comprehensive loss of $2,034,440, a decrease of $36,322 in depreciation on property and equipment, a decrease of $399 in amortization of intangible assets, an increase in finance charges of $132,501, an increase in cost of other non-cash items, specifically share-based payments of $38,375 an increase in write-off of inventories of $994,015 and an increase in write-off of costs and profits in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $1,760,423.
Liquidity
As at December 31, 2016, the Company had cash on hand of $385,257 and a negative working capital of $2,079,353 compared with a cash balance of $767,368 and positive working capital of $166,095 as at December 31, 2015.

PyroGenesis Announces Contract for Second Phase Lab Scale Testing Program

https://filecrypt.cc/Container/BCEEC9F500.html

PyroGenesis Announces Contract for Second Phase Lab Scale Testing Program Totalling CAN$170,000 with HPQ Silicon Resources Inc.
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – May 4, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-toenergy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that it has signed a contract for CAN$170,000 with HPQ Silicon Resources Inc. (“HPQ”), wherein PyroGenesis will provide a second phase of Process Characterization Testing (the “Testing”), using a newly upgraded version of the lab scale PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor (the “Reactor”).
The purpose of the Testing is to build upon the bench scale success made to date and to push the design of the lab scale Reactor to a point that will allow it to operate in a semi-batch mode to produce silicon (Si) samples. The Testing will use higher purity feedstock (99.5% SiO2.) with a goal of producing at least 5N (99.999% Si) Solar Grade Silicon Metal at lab scale.
This Testing program will take place over the next several months, and will be in conjunction with the delivery of the pilot plant Reactor scheduled for October 2017. The objectives of these metallurgical tests will be, amongst others, to: (i) generate and collect data that can be used for the scale-up of the lab scale Reactor and ultimately, for the commercial scale-up of the PUREVAP™ process; and (ii) to continue testing different purification alternatives.
PyroGenesis will provide HPQ with samples for third party independent purity validation as well as a milestones report and final report summarizing the results and analysis.
“We are eager to start this additional testing phase,” said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “This new testing will allow us to validate the design of pilot plant Reactor and to further improve the product purity.”
“The further we proceed in this project, the more confident we are that we have found a plasma-based application that can be applied to quartz in a commercial setting,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “We are very pleased with the results to date. That is not to say we have succeeded, will succeed, or that there won’t be challenges ahead. To the contrary, we fully expect there will be challenges as in any project; however we are certain that we will meet those challenges as we have with other projects, and find the best possible solution, if any. Once again, we are extremely pleased with the success of the project to date and the results that we have achieved.”

PyroGenesis Announces Q1 2017 Results

http://www.pyrogenesis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Q1-201…

PyroGenesis Announces Q1 2017 Results: Cash Flow Positive on EBITDA (Adj.) Basis; Revenues Increase 67%; Gross Margins Increase to 52%; Current Backlog $9.4MM. MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – May 30, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-toenergy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today its financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Q1 2017 results reflected the following highlights:

• Revenues increased 67% to $1.7MM in Q1 2017 from $1.0 MM posted in Q1 2016;

• Gross profit after amortization of intangible assets increased to 52% in Q1 2017, from 5.5% over the same period in 2016. (Gross profit before amortization of intangible assets increased to 52% in Q1 2017 from 29% over the same period in 2016);

• Most importantly, Q1 2017 was profitable on an EBITDA (adjusted) basis. Q1 2017 posted an EBITDA (adj.) of $22.6K versus a EBITA (adj.) loss of $649.5K;

• Over $13.5MM in contracts were signed, and work begun on, since June 30, 2016 which, taken in context of historic revenues (2016: $5.2MM; 2015: $6.2MM; 2014: $5.8MM) is quite significant. Backlog of signed contracts as of the date of this writing is $9.4MM;

• Cash on hand at March 31st 2017 was $1.3 MM (December 31st 2016: $385K).
At year end 2016, we described the preceding twelve months as being a pivotal year for PyroGenesis as the Company shifted its focus away from being a fabricator of plasma-based systems that produced unique titanium powders, in favour of becoming a producer of metal powders for the Additive Manufacturing Industry (the “Industry”). Given their unique properties (pure, small, spherical, and uniform; which make them flow like water), these powders are greatly sought after in the Industry, particularly 3D printing. Given this strategic shift, together with the backlog of signed contracts from our non-additive manufacturing business (“Core/Traditional Lines of Business”) of over $13MM since June 30, 2016, we projected that 2017 was shaping up to be a break out year for PyroGenesis, and Q1 2017 has not disappointed.

The Company will be issuing an in depth update on the progress of its Powder Production business line within the next two weeks where a review will take place on all aspects of that
sector. Suffice it to say at this point that there have been no disappointments and we are very happy with the progress and developments to date.
What is key to note is that these results reflect revenues from what we call our Core/Traditional Lines of Business (ie no revenues from powder sales at all), however expenses reflect certain costs of building our first powder production system which came on stream in Q1 2017 and is, as previously announced, currently ramping up to full production.
We are more convinced than ever before that 2017 is the breakout year we have been positioning the Company for, for a number of reasons:

• The healthy gross margins established in 2016 (before consideration of the 2016 writeoffs), have improved, and are expected to continue to improve once powder production is in full swing; • Established backlog of signed contracts, the majority of which are expected to be completed in 2017; • Our Core/Traditional Lines of Business are poised to contribute significantly to the bottom line and be both profitable and significant in their own right.

The following is a non-exhaustive review of PyroGenesis’ main commercial activities:

A) Powder Production: The Company has met every milestone announced on the road to making metal powders for the Industry. It was recently announced that the assembly of the first powder production system was completed and that the first powder run exceeded expectations. The ramp up is under way and is expected to take place linearly over the ensuing months. As announced in recent press releases interest has far exceeded Managements’ expectations and an initial contract was signed for a sample amount of powder. Also recently announced was the fact that the Company has signed a number of agreements with significant and potential players in the Industry reflecting various discussions regarding the possibility of concluding certain business relationships or transactions geared to the production of powders. The current system is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address an increasing need for metal powders in the Industry1.

B) DROSRITE™: The DROSRITE™ Furnace System was proven out at a North American customer’s Mexican facility during the first half of 2016. Soon thereafter, a successful demonstration of the DROSRITE™ System in the Middle East took place, following which an unsolicited request to exclusively market the process in the region was received and is currently being discussed. Management’s belief that the supply and installation of the first commercial sale in North America would enable the Company to leverage this success to generate a continued flow of orders for additional DROSRITE™ systems is being borne out.

1 Wohlers Report 2016 (ISBN 978-0-9913332-2-6)
This recent flurry of activity and interest for the DROSRITE™ system bodes well for 2017 where we now expect to have at least 3 orders placed. We continue to expect the first follow on contracts to be signed in the 2nd half of 2017. The market potential for PyroGenesis’ DROSRITE™ system, from Aluminium dross alone, exceeds $400MM.

C) HPQ: On August 2, 2016 PyroGenesis announced that it had signed contracts totalling CDN $8,260,000 with HPQ Silicon Resources Inc., formally Uragold Bay Resources Inc. for the sale of IP and to provide a 200 metric tonne (MT) per year PUREVAPTM pilot system to produce silicon metal directly from quartz. This system will for the most part be constructed in 2017, with advancement of the contract accelerating in the second half of the year. According to percent completion accounting standards for revenue recognition the majority of these revenues will be recognized in the 2nd half of 2017. Of note, if successful, PyroGenesis benefits from a 10% royalty on all revenues derived from the use of this system by HPQ, subject to annual minimums.

D) Chemical Warfare Destruction System: The Company recently announced that PyroGenesis has, in coordination with the US-based Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), successfully completed long-duration performance tests using the Company’s tactical Plasma Arc Chemical Warfare Agents Destruction System (“PACWADS”) using surrogate chemical warfare agent material. These tests supported the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Agnostic Compact Demilitarization of Chemical Agents (ACDC) program and far exceeded minimum requirements with over 99.9999% destruction efficiency. The PACWADS has, as of this writing, been delivered to the testing site and is currently going through final testing using real chemical warfare agents. These tests should be completed by the end of Q3 2017 (this timeline however is out of the Company’s control). Again this bodes well for 2017 as we would expect additional contracts resulting from a successful completion of the final testing. However, no indication has been given as to the size, if any, such procurement would entail.

E) Other Contracts: There are other contracts being discussed (such as a third order for a PAWDS for a New US Aircraft Carrier which is expected to be ordered sometime towards the end of 2017/beginning of 2018 with an estimated value of approximately $6MM; SPARC system sales, amongst others) which give us confidence that 2017 will be the break out year.

Given the above, we expect a strong performance in the coming year, and based on existing contracts, the Company expects to be profitable in 2017 (excluding any contribution from powder sales) as noted above. Our projections for 2017 are only heightened by the reception we have received so far and how our entrance as a powder producer has been so well received by the Additive Manufacturing community.

Management remains focused on reducing PyroGenesis’ dependency on long-cycle projects by developing a strategic portfolio of volume driven, high margin/low risk products that resolve
specific problems within niche markets, and doing so by introducing these plasma-based technologies to industries that have yet to consider such solutions.

Management is also actively targeting recurring revenue opportunities that will generate a growing, and profitable, regular cash flow to the Company.

PyroGenesis has one of the largest concentrations of plasma expertise in the world, with over 250 years of accumulated technical experience and 59 patents, combined with unique relationships with major Universities performing cutting edge plasma research and development, which positions the Company well to execute upon its various strategies.


Financial Summary
Revenues
The Company posted revenues of $1,696,138 in the first quarter of 2017 (“Q1, 2017”), representing an increase of 67% compared with $1,016,853 recorded in the first quarter of 2016 (“Q1, 2016”). Revenue recorded in Fiscal 2016 was generated primarily from (i) the sale of intellectual property and development of a vacuum arc reducing process to convert Silica into high purity Silicon metal, (ii) manufacture and further field testing of Tactical PACWADS, the first mobile plasma system for destruction of chemical warfare agents under contract with an international military consortium, (iii) the demonstration of the viability of PyroGenesis’ existing plasma chemical warfare agent destruction platform with locally available materials, for the complete eradication of chemical warfare agents without creating hazardous by-products, and (iv) support services related to PAWDS-Marine systems supplied to the US Navy.
Cost of Sales and Services and Gross Margins
Cost of sales and services before amortization of intangible assets was $820,864 in Q1, 2017, representing an increase of 13% compared with $723,256 in Q1, 2016. Total costs of sales and services, was $820,264 representing a decrease of 24% compared with $1,072,524 in Q1, 2016.
Various factors, including, but not limited to, the mix of long and short-term manufacturing projects, project complexity and scale, and project R&D content, may significantly impact both the composition and overall level of cost of sales and services reported in a given period, as the mix of labor, materials and subcontracts may be significantly different.
The costs incurred in Q1, 2017 are primarily attributable to the work completed under PyroGenesis’ project to develop a vacuum arc reducing process to convert Silica into high purity Silicon metal, work completed on the tactical mobile plasma system for destruction of chemical warfare agents under contract with an international military consortium, and support services related to PAWDS Marine systems supplied to the US Navy.
Investment tax credits recorded against cost of sales are primarily related to client funded projects that qualify for tax credits from the provincial government of Quebec. Qualifying tax
credits increased to $132,246 in Q1, 2017, compared with $108,815 in Q1, 2016. This represents an increase of 22% quarter-over-quarter. The Company continues to make investments in research and development projects incorporating the involvement of strategic partners and government bodies.
In Q1, 2017, the gross margin before amortization of intangible assets was $875,874, which represents 51.6% of revenue. This compares with a gross margin before amortization of intangible assets of $293,597 (28.9% of revenue) for Q1, 2016.
The amortization of intangible assets of Nil in Q1, 2017 ($349,268 in Q1, 2016) relates to the licenses and know-how purchased in 2011 from a company under common control. This expense is a non-cash item and the underlying asset was fully amortized by December 31, 2016.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for Q1, 2017 were $1,148,916, representing an increase of 10% compared with $1,048,915 reported for Q1, 2016. Excluding the costs associated with share-based compensation (a non-cash item in which options vest over a four year period), SG&A expenses increased by 3% in Q1, 2017 compared with Q1, 2016.
The increase in SG&A expenses is attributable to the net effect of (i) a decrease of 2% in employee compensation, (ii) an increase of 10% for professional fees, primarily due to increase in investor relations, (iii) a decrease of 1% in office and general expenses, due to a decrease in courses and seminars, (iv) travel costs increased by 6%, due to an increase in travel abroad, (v) depreciation on property and equipment decreased by 22%, (vi) government grants decreased by 100% due to lower level of activities supported by such grants, (vii) other expenses increased by 1%, primarily due to the reduced cost of freight and shipping, and (viii) an increase in share base payments of 12% primarily due to the vesting structure of the stock option plan and the stock options offered on September 25, 2016.
Total Comprehensive Loss
The comprehensive loss for Q1, 2017 was $298,610 compared to a loss of $1,248,661 in Q1, 2016, representing a decrease of 76% quarter-over-quarter.
The decrease of $950,051 in the comprehensive loss in Q1, 2017 is primarily attributable to: (i) an increase in product and service related revenue of $679,285, (ii) an increase in cost of sales and services totaling $97,009 as explained above, (iii) an increase in SG&A expenses of $100,002 as explained above, (iv) an increase in R&D expenses of $25,187 primarily due to the fact that many of the Company’s engineering and R&D resources were concentrated on activities within projects under construction for clients, with such costs being recorded within cost of sales, (v) an increase in net finance costs of $6,647 due to an increase in accretion costs on convertible debentures, (vi) an increase in finance income of $150,343 due to the adjustment of the fair market value of other investments.


EBITDA
The EBITDA loss in Q1, 2017 was $115,565 compared with an EBITDA loss of $715,937 for Q1, 2016, representing a decrease of 84%.
Adjusted EBITDA gain in Q1, 2017 was $22,586 compared with an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $649,506 for Q1, 2016. The increase of $672,092 in the Adjusted EBITDA in Q1, 2017 is mainly attributable to the decreased comprehensive loss of $950,051, a decrease in depreciation on property and equipment of $7,058, a decrease of $349,268 in amortization of intangible assets, offset by an increase in finance charges of 6,647 and an increase in share-based payments of $71,720.

PyroGenesis Announces Receipt of Second Order for 3D Printing Powders During Ramp-Up Phase; Interest in Powders Continues to Increase
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – June 7, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that it has signed its second contract for an order of titanium powder (Ti-6Al-4V) from a US based end user (the “Client”), the name and origin of which will not be disclosed for competitive reasons. Note, this is the second order placed during the ramp-up phase of the Company’s powder production system (the “System”), and exceeds the original expectations for powder sales during this phase.
PyroGenesis’ System uses Plasma Atomization to make small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the additive manufacturing industry.

PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization. The Company first began producing powders using this technology for the biomedical industry between 2001-2004. In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately $2MM in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which not only led to a patent pending, but also to PyroGenesis’ decision to re-enter the market and produce powders for the AM industry. The System is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address an increasing need for metal powders in the AM industry.1

“As previously announced on March 30, 2017, we did not expect this type of interest before ramp-up was complete, and we would have considered any sample orders (i.e. up to 500kg) made before such time to be very significant as this would further validate our strategic decision to enter into powder production,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “Although this order is a sample order what is truly noteworthy is it’s the second order we have received during ramp up. The fact that this Client has taken the time to sample our powders and allocate the funds to qualifying it internally, all before the ramp-up phase is complete is extremely significant. The two sample orders received to date exceed our initial expectations for powder sales. We believe that a third sample order received during the ramp up phase would underscore the interest in the marketplace for PyroGenesis’ products and unique expertise.”

On March 30th, 2017, PyroGenesis announced that it had completed the assembly of its first powder production system, and that the first powder run exceeded expectations. The ramp-up that was already underway was expected to take place over the ensuing (4) months (April-July).

“We note that so far the operational performance and progress to date, during the ramp-up phase, far exceed our expectations,” said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “Our team remains focused and dedicated to our commitments to deliver high quality powders to the additive manufacturing industry, while continuing to innovate and improve our process which is arguably, already, the gold standard for the industry.”
“These continue to be very exciting times for PyroGenesis,” said Mr. Pascali. “This second order, and although noteworthy, we continue to be cautious from concluding that anything of significance will happen quickly. Discussions take time and we are still in the early phases. Suffice it to say at this point that there have been no disappointments and we continue to be happy with the progress and developments to date.”
The Company will be issuing an in depth update on the progress of its Powder Production business line within the next week where a review will take place on all aspects of that sector.

General Update on Additive Manufacturing

http://www.pyrogenesis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Creati…

PyroGenesis Announces Creation of “PyroGenesis Additive”: Division Dedicated to Additive Manufacturing and First Step to Spin-off; Provides General Update on Additive Manufacturing
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – June 14, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that it has created a new division under the name of “PyroGenesis Additive”, dedicated solely to PyroGenesis’ additive manufacturing business line. This is the first step to the Company’s previously announced strategic spin-off.
PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization, using this process to produce very small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the additive manufacturing (“AM”) Industry.

The Company first began producing powders using Plasma Atomization for the biomedical industry between 2001-2004. In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately $2MM in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which led not only to a patent pending, but also to PyroGenesis’ decision to re-enter the market and produce powders for the AM Industry.

The following highlights and developments have been made to date:

• On October 26, 2015, PyroGenesis announced that it was re-entering the market to produce metal powders, specifically for AM (3D printing); • On April 7, 2016, PyroGenesis announced its intention to spin-off its additive manufacturing capabilities into an independent public entity; • On April 27, 2016, PyroGenesis announced that its 3D metal particle size distribution greatly exceeded expectations; • On October 25, 2016, PyroGenesis announced that it had filed a patent for an improved metal powder production process and that the Company was on schedule for a 2017-Q1 assembly and first production run; • On January 23 and March 14, 2017, PyroGenesis provided updates and reaffirms that it is on schedule for 2017-Q1 assembly and first production run despite delays with suppliers; • On March 30, 2017, PyroGenesis announced that it had completed the assembly of its first powder production system, with its first powder run exceeding expectations. The Company also noted that the ramp-up, which was already underway, was expected to take place linearly over approximately four (4) months; • On April 25, 2017, PyroGenesis announced receipt of its first powder order from a multinational conglomerate, with the down payment already received, and market interest exceeding expectations; and • On June 7, 2017, PyroGenesis announced receipt of its second powder order.



The current production system is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address an increasing need for metal powders in the AM Industry.1

Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, provides an update on the developments within PyroGenesis’ AM business line in the following Q&A format:
Q. Very very busy year so far for PyroGenesis and now we see the creation of PyroGenesis Additive.
A. Most definitely. Over the top. Exceeds our wildest expectations on every front.
Q. So are we finally going to see some movement with respect to the spin-off announced in April 2016?
A. Most certainly. The creation of PyroGenesis Additive is definitely the first step in spinning off our AM capabilities, which we announced over a year ago, into a standalone entity. We are dedicated to a spin-off for a number of reasons, all of which speak to increasing shareholder value. A spin-off, should be less complicated to analyze and we feel it would appeal to a larger investor audience who, although interested in investing in the AM Industry, have little or no interest in either understanding, or investing in, our other business lines (i.e. waste destruction, DROSRITE™, PUREVAPTM, amongst others), and a spin-off could help avoid this. Concurrently, we feel a spin-off would provide for a clearer, and better defined, entity, which third parties could consider for joint ventures, strategic alliances, or even an acquisition of PyroGenesis Additive.
Q. Why the delay in the spin-off?
Simply put: the world of AM has changed significantly since we first announced our intention to spin-off our additive manufacturing capabilities; and, may I add, all for the better for PyroGenesis’ shareholders.
Over a year ago, we announced our intention to start producing speciality powders for the AM Industry which garnered such interest that it became apparent that PyroGenesis’ shareholders might be best served by spinning off this business line.
As such, we announced our intention to spin off our AM capabilities, but while completing our analysis of the various options available, and just when we were about to make a decision, General Electric (“GE”) announced its acquisition of Arcam, in November 2016, for approximately US$700MM. Now this is noteworthy because Arcam’s subsidiary, AP&C, which was acquired by Arcam for Can$35MM in 20142, produced powders using PyroGenesis’ old proprietary technology under an agreement which precluded PyroGenesis from competing against AP&C until 2012. Of particular note, through Arcam, AP&C became the dominant supplier of speciality powders to the AM Industry. GE’s acquisition of Arcam, and by extension of AP&C, has effectively disrupted the supply chain of speciality powders in the AM Industry which has caused end users of such powders to re-examine their access to them, all while PyroGenesis is re-entering the market as a supplier of such powders.
It would not have been prudent for us to carry on with a spin-off merely because we announced such intentions a few months earlier, without fully analyzing the ramifications of the changing landscape.

1 Wohlers Report 2016 (ISBN 978-0-9913332-2-6) 2http://advancedpowders.com/news/arcam-to-make-strategic-acqu…
Q. Where does the spin-off stand and what should investors expect?
We believe that the delays in the spin-off have essentially created more value for investors when PyroGenesis Additive is eventually spun off. We will have a working system, with dedicated employees contributing solely to the spin-off, thereby reducing risk and creating more value for PyroGenesis’ shareholders. Additionally, since GE’s acquisition of Arcam, there has been significant interest in PyroGenesis’ powder production capabilities and as such, we believe there is a high probability that we will have visibility on, if not signed, contracts for long term powder supply by the time we spin-off PyroGenesis Additive. At this point, we believe the interests of our shareholders are best served if the spin-off were concurrent with the signing of long term contracts.

Q. When could we expect the spin-off to occur?
A. Given the interest in our powders during the ramp-up phase, we are, barring any developments to the contrary, still committed to a spin-off in 2017.

Q. Speak to us about the ramp-up phase. How is it going? Where do you stand? Have there been any significant issues or developments to report?
A. We could not be happier.
We assembled and commissioned the system, and had our first powder run, as promised, by the end of 2017-Q1 despite significant delays from suppliers. Next, our goal was to ramp-up to full capacity over the ensuing four (4) months (i.e. April-July). Our stated goal was to become a leading supplier of high purity powders with an initial focus on producing commercially pure Titanium and Ti-6Al-4V powders, with additional powders/products being developed on a case by case basis. We did not expect any powder sales until ramp-up was complete however, to our surprise, on April 25, we announced having received a sample order from a multinational conglomerate. To top that off, last week we announced receipt of a second sample order, which together we believe speaks to both the confidence in our capabilities and the demand for our product in the marketplace.
These orders, although excellent news, have nonetheless put some pressure on a number of aspects relating to ramp-up; in particular, the orders we received were not only for titanium powders which we are used to producing, but as announced, also for Inconel which we had never processed before.
To make a long story short, ramp-up was put on hold in order to fulfill the order for Inconel, but the following was done successfully. In fact, the powder production rate was far greater than that for Titanium and the Inconel powder was of exceptional quality; proving, amongst other things, the flexibility of our Plasma Atomization System and how quickly we can “pivot”.
All that to say, given these orders, the ramp-up phase has been extended by approximately, 4-6 weeks.
Separately, but in parallel, PyroGenesis’ existing quality control system (ISO 9001:2008 certified) is being expanded to include the additional protocols required by the AM Industry.
Q. Could you please provide an update on the next significant milestone in powder production?
A. Most certainly. We are currently producing flowable powder batch after batch. What is even more noteworthy is the fact that, although our original ramp-up envisioned producing Ti64, we have also successfully produced Inconel powders and are currently in discussions to consider producing additional materials as well.
The next milestone is to move to a 2 shift/day, which we are currently hiring and training for. Given the natural lag that occurs during the summer, we are not expecting this to be completed before the end of August.

Q. Could you give us an indication in terms of production rate and quality of the powders at this stage of the ramp-up phase?
A. Again, we are very happy with the results so far. First and foremost, our production rate is significantly better than what we used to have. The powders already meet or exceed the ASTM specifications and we expect that by the end of the ramp-up phase our Ti64 powders will be of a significantly higher quality.
Additionally, we have adjusted the process to be Tungsten free, something it seems that various industries are interested in, and we are very happy with the results so far. We expect that by year-end, we will be able to guarantee a Tungsten free product.
Q. Any concerns?
A. Yes and no. We have definitely underestimated the interest in our production and it has become apparent that we need to expand our capacity faster than originally planned. We currently have plans to order the long lead items for 3 more systems in anticipation of having to address this need.
Separately, this early interest has caused us to think of adding in-house analytical capabilities and automated sieving processes earlier than planned. All this bodes well for the underlying business as both speak to quicker turnaround time and more reliable post production processing.

Q. In your April 25th press release you noted that you had “…signed a number of agreements with significant and potential players in the AM Industry, wherein the Company is in discussions regarding the possibility of concluding certain business relationships or transactions related to AM, most notably geared to the production of powders…”. Could you elaborate on this?
A. Yes, but in all fairness we did point out that although noteworthy, we cautioned concluding that anything of significance would happen quickly, or even at all. Discussions take time and we are still in the early phases, and that still rings true.

However, we note that we have had discussions with top level metal printer manufacturers, distributors, and end-users; some at our facilities and others at theirs. It is indeed encouraging to see that our product is having the resonance that we thought it would have in the marketplace. The minimum takeaway should be the interest we are garnering from very discerning entities in such a short time frame.
Q. So, in conclusion, you are confident?
A. Absolutely. The decision to re-enter into powder production was the right one. The changes and consolidation in the marketplace over the past year have only underscored this decision. We are the inventors of Plasma Atomization, a process that arguably has helped bring AM to where it is today, and so we can say with confidence, that we are back. We are back to producing, but more so, improving the process that has become the gold standard in the AM Industry.

Q. Your goal?
A. As previously announced, our goal is not only to become a significant producer of metal powders to the AM Industry, but to bring the technology to a new level and enable 3D printing to reach new heights by effectively making our old technology, the gold standard, obsolete. We are making great strides on both fronts, and we have only been up and running for less than 3 months.

PyroGenesis Announces Successful Delivery of First Order of Titanium and Inconel Powders Plus Receipt of Third Powder Order During Ramp-Up Phase

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(June 19, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX VENTURE:PYR)(OTCQB:PYRNF), a high-tech company (the "Company" or "PyroGenesis") that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced plasma processes and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that not only has it signed its third contract for a sample order of titanium powder (Ti-6Al-4V) from a large manufacturer of 3D printers, the name and origin of which will not be disclosed for competitive reasons, but it has also, further to its press release dated April 25, 2017, successfully produced and delivered its first powder order. Of particular note is that this third order was also placed during the ramp-up phase of the Company's powder production system (the "System"), during which time the Company had no expectations of any powder sales at all. All three orders were from different clients.
"As we previously announced, we did not expect this type of interest before ramp-up was complete, and we would have considered any sample orders (i.e. up to 500kg) made during ramp-up to be very significant as this would further validate our strategic decision to re-enter the market for powder production," said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. "The fact that we now have received three sample orders in less than 4 months cannot be considered outlying interest, and underscores, what we believe to be, the market's confidence in our capabilities and the underlying demand for our product. As we have said before, although these orders are sample orders, what is truly noteworthy is that they have been received during our ramp-up phase, and the fact that these clients have taken the time to sample our powders and allocate the funds to qualifying them internally, all before the ramp-up phase is complete, is extremely significant."
"The level of interest in our capabilities has taken us all by surprise as we did not expect this much interest so early on in and, of course, we are happy with the results so far," said Massimo Dattilo, Vice President of PyroGenesis Additive. "Of note in today's announcement, is that the first order was not only for Ti-6Al-4V but also for Inconel powder. This is indeed a watershed mark for the Company as it underscores the flexibility in the system and our capabilities as a company; and it has all taken place well ahead of our most aggressive expectations."
As previously announced, PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization. The Company's System uses Plasma Atomization to make small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the Additive Manufacturing ("AM") Industry.
The Company first began producing powders using this technology for the biomedical industry between 2001-2004. In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately $2MM in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which led to a patent pending.
On March 30, 2017, the Company announced that it had completed the assembly of its first System and that the first powder run exceeded expectations. This System is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address an increasing need for metal powders in the AM industry.1 The ramp-up of the System is expected to be completed over the next few months.
"Our team remains focused and dedicated to our commitments to deliver high quality powders to the Additive Manufacturing Industry, while continuing to innovate and improve our process which is arguably, already, the gold standard for the industry", said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. "We are on schedule and extremely happy with the continuous increase we are seeing in our process performance."
Separately, PyroGenesis is also pleased to announce today that it is implementing an online marketing and awareness program through AGORACOM, wherein the Company will receive significant exposure through millions of content brand insertions on the AGORACOM network and extensive search engine and social media marketing. In addition, exclusive sponsorships of invaluable digital properties such as the AGORACOM home page, AGORACOM TV, and the AGORACOM Twitter account will serve to significantly raise awareness of PyroGenesis' business among small cap investors.

PyroGenesis Announces Receipt of $230,168 Contract

http://www.pyrogenesis.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Receip…

PyroGenesis Announces Receipt of $230,168 Contract for Support During Testing of its Chemical Warfare Agent Destruction System Using Real Chemical Warfare Agents

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – July 11, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis” or “PCI”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma based systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release of April 19, 2017, it has received a CAN$230,168 contract to provide technical support during the next and final testing phase (the “Final Testing Phase”) of its tactical Plasma Arc Chemical Warfare Agents Destruction System (“PACWADS” or the “System”) which will now be tested using real chemical warfare agents.
On April 19, 2017, the Company announced that it had, in coordination with the US-based Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), successfully completed long-duration performance tests using the Company’s System with surrogate chemical warfare agent material. These tests supported the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Agnostic Compact Demilitarization of Chemical Agents (ACDC) program and the results far exceeded minimum requirements with over 99.9999% destruction efficiency. The Final Testing Phase, which is expected to take approximately six (6) months, will be conducted using real chemical warfare agents at secure military facilities abroad, and is expected to confirm the results obtained at PyroGenesis’ facilities using surrogate chemical warfare agents.
“We are highly confident that our System will pass the Final Testing Phase particularly given the fact that we significantly exceeded the minimum requirements of 99.99% destruction efficiency using surrogates,” said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “As previously announced, our System demonstrated more than 99.9999% efficiency using surrogates which emulated destruction of such chemical warfare agents such as sarin (GB), soman (GD), and mustard (HD). This additional contract will allow PyroGenesis to support testing using real chemical warfare agents at a secure site.”
The System has already been shipped to a secure site and the Final Testing Phase begun. These tests are expected to be completed by the end of Q3 2017; however, this timeline is out of the Company’s control.
“If successful, PACWADS will be one of the few technologies in the world capable of destroying chemical warfare agents. We anticipate that such success will open the doors to additional opportunities; for example, the safe destruction of Ebola contaminated material in countries such as Liberia”, said Philippe Beaulieu, Senior Project Manager at PyroGenesis.
“A successfully developed System would safely destroy chemical warfare agent stockpiles onsite without having to transport these highly toxic chemicals to a remote location for processing, and although we would expect additional contracts resulting from a successful completion of the Final Testing Phase no indication has been given as to the size, if any, such procurement would entail,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “The fact that our System is in the Final Testing Phase reflects the significant advances that we, at PyroGenesis, have achieved, and which we expect to continue to achieve
in the area of defense and chemical warfare agent destruction. This only further solidifies our position within the US military as being the ‘go-to’ supplier of plasma-based solutions.”

PyroGenesis produces, delivers first powder order

2017-06-19 09:48 ET - News Release

Mr. P. Peter Pascali reports

PYROGENESIS ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY OF FIRST ORDER OF TITANIUM AND INCONEL POWDERS PLUS RECEIPT OF THIRD POWDER ORDER DURING RAMP-UP PHASE

Not only has PyroGenesis Canada Inc. signed its third contract for a sample order of titanium powder (Ti-6Al-4V) from a large manufacturer of 3-D printers, the name and origin of which will not be disclosed for competitive reasons, it has also, further to its press release dated April 25, 2017, successfully produced and delivered its first powder order. Of particular note is that this third order was also placed during the ramp-up phase of the company's powder production system, during which time the company had no expectations of any powder sales at all. All three orders were from different clients.

"As we previously announced, we did not expect this type of interest before ramp-up was complete, and we would have considered any sample orders (in example up to 500 kilograms) made during ramp-up to be very significant as this would further validate our strategic decision to re-enter the market for powder production," said P. Peter Pascali, president and chief executive officer of PyroGenesis. "The fact that we now have received three sample orders in less than four months cannot be considered outlying interest, and underscores, what we believe to be, the market's confidence in our capabilities and the underlying demand for our product. As we have said before, although these orders are sample orders, what is truly noteworthy is that they have been received during our ramp-up phase, and the fact that these clients have taken the time to sample our powders and allocate the funds to qualifying them internally, all before the ramp-up phase is complete, is extremely significant."

"The level of interest in our capabilities has taken us all by surprise as we did not expect this much interest so early on in and, of course, we are happy with the results so far," said Massimo Dattilo, vice-president of PyroGenesis Additive. "Of note in today's announcement, is that the first order was not only for Ti-6Al-4V but also for Inconel powder. This is indeed a watershed mark for the company as it underscores the flexibility in the system and our capabilities as a company; and it has all taken place well ahead of our most aggressive expectations."

As previously announced, PyroGenesis is the inventor of plasma atomization. The company's system uses plasma atomization to make small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the additive manufacturing (AM) industry.

The company first began producing powders using this technology for the biomedical industry between 2001 to 2004. In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately $2-million in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which led to a patent pending.

On March 30, 2017, the company announced that it had completed the assembly of its first system and that the first powder run exceeded expectations. This system is the first of many PyroGenesis expects to make to address an increasing need for metal powders in the AM industry (1). The ramp-up of the system is expected to be completed over the next few months.

"Our team remains focused and dedicated to our commitments to deliver high-quality powders to the additive manufacturing industry, while continuing to innovate and improve our process which is arguably, already, the gold standard for the industry," said Pierre Carabin, chief technology officer of PyroGenesis. "We are on schedule and extremely happy with the continuous increase we are seeing in our process performance."

Separately, PyroGenesis is also pleased to announce today that it is implementing an on-line marketing and awareness program through Agoracom, wherein the company will receive significant exposure through millions of content brand insertions on the Agoracom network and extensive search engine and social media marketing. In addition, exclusive sponsorships of invaluable digital properties such as the Agoracom home page, Agoracom TV and the Agoracom Twitter account will serve to significantly raise awareness of PyroGenesis's business among small-cap investors. The PyroGenesis discussion forum can be found at Agoracom's website.

Additionally, Agoracom has launched CEO verified discussion forums, the first-ever verification of small-cap executive posts on a finance platform. For the first time ever, small-cap CEOs and other company officials can use Agoracom discussion forums as their main social media platform to post comments and interact with both shareholders and the broader investment community in a fully moderated and verified forum. Posts to Agoracom are shareable on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. There are no log-in requirements for investors to read posts; those wishing to post questions, comments and interact with PyroGenesis officials can quickly log in using their Facebook or LinkedIn accounts, or create a new user account.

PyroGenesis Additive Announces the Development of New Plasma-Based Process to Produce Metal Powders; Production of MIM Cut in Quantity; Ramp-Up Update
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – August 14, 2017) - PyroGenesis Additive, a division of PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a hightech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that it has developed a new plasma-based process to produce metal powders which, not only enables MIM cut powder production at higher volumes, but may have a greater impact on the market than the Company’s original Plasma Atomization technology. Furthermore, the Company announces that the previously announced ramp-up phase for its first powder production system remains on schedule.
The Company provides the following highlights and developments to date:
 On October 26, 2015, PyroGenesis announced that it was re-entering the market to produce metal powders, specifically for Additive Manufacturing (3D printing);  On April 7, 2016, PyroGenesis announced its intention to spin-off its Additive Manufacturing capabilities into an independent public entity;  On April 27, 2016, PyroGenesis announced that its 3D Printing particle size distribution greatly exceeded expectations;  On October 25, 2016, PyroGenesis announced that it had filed a patent for an improved metal powder production process and that the Company was on schedule for a 2017-Q1 powder production system assembly and first production run;  On January 23, 2017 and March 14, 2017, PyroGenesis provided updates on 3D Printing and reaffirms that it is on schedule for 2017-Q1 assembly and first production run despite delays with suppliers;  On March 30, 2017, PyroGenesis announced that it had completed the assembly of its first powder production system, with its first powder run exceeding expectations, and that the ramp-up, which was already underway, was expected to take place linearly over approximately four (4) months;  On April 25, 2017, PyroGenesis announced receipt of its first powder order from a multinational conglomerate, with the down payment already received, and market interest exceeding expectations;  On June 7, 2017, PyroGenesis announced receipt of its second powder order;  On June 14, 2017, PyroGenesis announced creation of PyroGenesis Additive; and  On June 19, 2017, PyroGenesis announced receipt of its third powder order and successful delivery of its first order which included both Titanium and Inconel powders;
Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, provides an overview of today’s announcement in the following Q&A format:
Q. What exactly is a “MIM cut”? A. MIM technically is short for “Metal Injection Molding”. The MIM cut refers to a particularly small metal powder size typically used in metal injection molding, and is now becoming of interest to certain 3D metal printer manufacturers. The metal powder sizes we deal with are measured in microns, with the MIM cut typically being between 5-20 microns, and sometimes as high as 25 microns.
Q. Is PyroGenesis not the inventor of the Plasma Atomization technology? A technology that makes small, metal powders for 3D metal printers, and which in fact, has become the gold standard for the production of titanium powders for the industry? A. Yes, that is correct. We are the inventors of the Plasma Atomization technology. A technology we use to produce very small, uniform, fully dense and spherical metal powders that flow like water, and which are highly sought after in the additive manufacturing (“AM”) Industry. We first began producing powders using our Plasma Atomization technology for the biomedical industry between 2001-2004. In 2015, PyroGenesis invested approximately $2MM in improving both the production rate and particle size distribution, which led not only to a patent pending, but also to PyroGenesis’ decision to re-enter the market and produce powders for the AM Industry.
Q. Could you describe the MIM cut in relation to 3D printers and the Plasma Atomization technology’s capabilities? A. This is a very broad subject but I will try to give a brief overview recognizing the limitations of this forum. Basically, there are now three (3) broad types of 3D printers using metal powders. The first (1st) type is electron bean melting (EBM), used, for example, by Arcam printers, now part of GE Additive. EBM manufactures parts by melting metal powder layer by layer with an electron beam in a high vacuum. EBM technology uses the larger/coarsest fraction produced by our Plasma Atomization technology; typically, in the 45-106-micron range. The second (2nd) type is Laser sintering, used, for example, in EOS, SLM, and Concept Laser printers. These printers use the small to middle fraction produced by our Plasma Atomization technology; typically, in the 15-45-micron range. Most metal printers use this small/middle fraction. The third (3rd) type is an inkjet type technology, used, for example, by Desktop Metals, and whereby the powders are coated with a binder to “glue” the powders together. These printers require ultra-fine powder, smaller than the powder required for Laser sintering machines, and a size cut that, until recently, PyroGenesis was not focusing on. There are some printers that use inkjet type technology but only need coarser powders, but we are not reviewing these printers here.
Q. Ok, so PyroGenesis’ Plasma Atomization technology is good at addressing the powder needs of the first two (2) types of metal printers, i.e. EBM and Laser sintering, which combined use a powder size of between 15-106 microns; however, what about the third (3rd) type, the inkjet type technology, that uses the ultra fine, or MIM cut requiring a powder size of between 5-25 microns?What is PyroGenesis doing to address this new market? A. That is a very good question and one that investors have been asking us as of late, and is, in fact, the essence of our announcement today. PyroGenesis’ Plasma Atomization technology already produces powders for EBM and Laser Sintering in optimal quality and quantities. To the best of our knowledge, only plasma technology can produce the high-quality powders required for these printers. Ironically, until the interest by 3D inkjet type metal printers in smaller powder sizes, the MIM cut was considered an undesirable by-product of the Plasma Atomization technology, with most of the economic value residing in the other two cuts encompassing the 15-106 powder size distribution. In fact, several months ago, the Company was approached by a number of companies who were interested in MIM cut titanium powder and whereby it became apparent to us that the appetite for this ultra-fine powder was significant. As a result, we decided to pause our ramp-up phase to make adjustments to our Plasma Atomization technology in order to try and shift the particle size distribution towards this low end of the spectrum, and produce powders in the range required for such “inkjet” type 3D printing machines.
Q. …and were you successful? A. Beyond our expectations. We were able to develop this new plasma-based process being announced today which in essence has given us significant control over the powder sizes produced, at significantly higher production rates, at less cost. We can now make MIM cut powders in very large quantities with little to no waste; thereby growing with, and enabling, those requiring ultrafine powder, and meeting their strategic growth needs. We believe this breakthrough is, if not more significant, then at least as significant as our original Plasma Atomization technology, and is just the beginning of what we can do with this new plasmabased technology.
Q. What exactly do you mean by this?
A. It seems that we have not reached the limit of this new plasma-based process. By that I mean that once we achieved our goals (i.e. MIM cut, increased production rates), we backed off in favour of continuing with the ramp-up phase. Given our plasma expertise and our familiarity with the technology, we believe we have not even scraped the surface of what this new process can do with respect to production rates and powder quality.
Q. The bottom line is: have you produced MIM cut or is this all theory and conjecture? Plus, can you give us some indication of what production rates and powder quality you are talking about? A. We most definitely have recently produced MIM cut titanium powder Grade 5. Grade 5 is the grade currently being requested by the third (3rd) type of inkjet printers mentioned above. Of interest is that not only can we make Grade 5 but it seems, though not yet confirmed, that we can also potentially make Grade 23 in the MIM cut. Grade 23 is the highest-grade titanium powder and, to the best of our knowledge, we know of no other powder producer that can make MIM cut titanium Grade 23, let alone in commercial quantities. With respect to production rates, we consider that to be confidential information, however, suffice it to say that, we have not read anywhere, (i.e. web sites, articles, recent or otherwise) of any other plasma powder producer whose production rates or powder quality exceeds our capabilities. To the best of our knowledge, there is no single plasma-based powder producer that can produce powder in sufficient quality and quantity to serve the whole market, including the ultra-fine powders (or MIM cut) used by inkjet type printers.
Q. How has all this affected the ramp-up schedule, and if any, what challenges? A. Interestingly enough, we made all these discoveries/improvements while staying true to the ramp-up schedule, that is to say, ramp-up is still scheduled for completion between the end of this coming September and beginning of October. In fact, we are actually slightly ahead of schedule right now, with production rates continuing to exceed our expectations. The main challenge right now is how to incorporate the current advances announced today within our current platform, while still maintaining our ramp-up commitment and schedule. The beauty of these discoveries/improvements is that they can be incorporated into our existing platform with little to no increase in capital cost; in fact, ultimately, we expect a decrease in both capital and operating costs as a result. Our current strategy is to maintain the ramp-up schedule while integrating these improvements, as time permits, however, at this stage, it is too early for us to determine whether all these improvements will be fully incorporated by the end of the ramp-up phase. Apart from that, we are experiencing the regular challenges that come with a ramp-up phase, but nothing that hasn’t been solved or isn’t manageable. All in all, we are more than happy with the progress to date.
Q. One last question. How can you make all these improvements, test different metals, and still be on track for ramp-up? A. That’s a very good question and one that’s difficult to answer as it’s very difficult to convey in writing the buzz that has engulfed PyroGenesis as of late; not just within our powder production business but also within our other lines as well (Drosrite™, chemical warfare agent destruction, the US Navy, just to name a few), and it is within this energized context that the answer lies.
What is the expression? If you want something done give it to a busy man? Well that applies 10fold at PyroGenesis these days. We are plasma experts and we have built a team of unique individuals who are passionate about their work and challenges and don’t turn off at 5pm. They are constantly thinking about solutions and improvements be it in the shower or on their drive back and forth to work. It is this truly unique team that that has enabled us to successfully introduce plasma-based solutions across a myriad of industries. To put this answer in the context of our ramp-up, one has to understand that the ramp-up phase does not take the system down for the full 24-hour day and it is the prudent allocation of these extra time slots for other activities that allows us to maintain the ramp-up schedule.
Q. Conclusion? A. We are currently in the 17th week of our ramp-up phase and not only are we on schedule but we have during this period (i) produced other metal powders besides titanium (see our press release dated June 19, 2017), and most importantly (ii) have developed a new plasma-based process to produce metal powders which very well may be as game changing as our original Plasma Atomization technology. We are plasma experts, we are the inventors of the plasma atomization technology, and we are back as a powder producer. Our goal is to enable AM (i.e. 3D printing) to reach new heights while at the same time address the current powder needs of the industry.
Additionally, the Company announces today that CAN$130,500 of warrants have been exercised. "Once again, this exercise of warrants is timely," said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. "As we noted in an earlier press release, we are currently looking beyond the rampup phase towards increasing production capacity ahead of our original expectations. This exercise of warrants, together with any future exercise of warrants and options, will enable us to implement plans to accelerate our original schedule to increase our production capacity of metal powders for the Additive manufacturing (3D Printing) Industry. We are still looking at ways to have up to three (3) additional powder production systems operating in 2018. To date, our metal powder production strategy is progressing far better than planned, and we are very pleased."

PyroGenesis improves metal powder production process

2017-09-12 09:34 ET - News Release

Mr. P. Peter Pascali reports

PYROGENESIS ADDITIVE ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS TO ITS NEW PLASMA-BASED ATOMIZATION PROCESS; HIGHER PRODUCTION RATES, HIGHER YIELDS, NARROWER PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS, LOWER COSTS

PyroGenesis Canada Inc, further to its press release dated Aug. 14, 2017, has made additional developments to its previously announced new plasma-based atomization process, which produces metal powders for metal 3-D printers. Specifically, these developments include the ability to produce extremely narrow size distributions which can be easily shifted to any particle size required for Additive Manufacturing ("AM"), at significantly higher production rates, higher yields (i.e. little to no waste), and at much lower operating costs than seen to date. Management believes that this new plasma-based atomization process will have as great, if not greater, impact on the AM market, specifically addressing metal 3D printers' demand for new particle size distributions.

Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, provides an overview of today's announcement in the following Q&A format:

Q. On August 14 th , 2017, the Company announced a new plasma-based atomization process. How have you developed this further?

A. What we announced on August 14th was revolutionary in its own right. What we are announcing today is that this new process can effectively produce higher yields of very narrow particle size distributions, with little or no waste, and for any powders under 150 microns (the sweet spot for 3D metal printers), and not just the MIM cut (which we define for the purposes of the discussion herein as small fine metal powders, that can be used by metal 3D printers, typically in the 5-25-micron size range) .

In short, for any particle size distribution used by metal 3D printers we can: Produce extremely narrow size distributions, of bulk powders, which are easily shifted to any other size cut required by metal 3D printers (i.e. 5-25 microns, 15-45 microns, 45-106 microns, 45-150 microns, etc.); At significantly higher production rates than seen in the past; With higher yields (i.e. little to no waste); and At much lower operating costs.

Q. This is extraordinary.

A. It is, but not only from a cost perspective. Of course, increasing production rates, narrowing size distributions, increasing yields and lowering operating costs all lower the cost of production significantly, but the most significant aspect of this new process is that we can do this for any specific powder size catering to the AM Industry. What this means specifically is that, when producing a specific size cut, you do not have to worry about selling the off-cuts, or getting rid of waste, as you did in the past. We can now shift the particle size distribution to a customer's specific needs and then shift it easily to address another's.

Q. So total control?

A. Yes, and management believes this is beyond anything seen to date as production rates are significantly higher than in the past.

Q. Can you put this in perspective? What was happening in the past, and how is this better today?

A. Most certainly. To put it in perspective, in the past, you could meet a customer's order with a specific production run, but you would have a significant amount of powder left over of a different particle size distribution that was either ideal for different 3D printers ("off-cuts") or was waste. That means that, in the case of off-cuts, one would have to, hopefully, have another client for these cuts, which is quite challenging, as you can imagine, as not all particle size demands are equal. If the off-cuts are waste then the problem is a bigger one of disposal. In both cases, storage is also an issue.

Q. How does this enable 3D printers, and how may this be game-changing?

A. It all has to do with the production profile, rates and costs. If as a powder producer, you must sell multiple size cuts, from each production run, to different clients it becomes a limiting factor; It becomes a limiting factor in terms of both your ability to store off-cuts you haven't matched a client to, and your ability to meet the demand for new powder size cuts; this is particularly true if there is a significant demand in new powder size cuts that does not match your production profile.

Our game-changing process has changed all that as it is no longer dependent on a broad production profile which, as we said, is limited by client matching, storage and/or disposal.

This problem has become evident as companies (such as Desktop Metal, 3DEO, and Markforged) started to express an interest in very fine powders which, until recently, could only be considered as an off-cut of broad production profiles. How could an explosive need for such powders be met if production was limited to matching the balance of production? PyroGenesis' new plasma-based atomization process can now address this by producing extremely narrow size distributions, which easily shift to any particle size distribution, at significantly higher production rates, higher yields (i.e. little to no waste), and at much lower operating costs.

This is a huge breakthrough which we consider game changing, and the very reason why we consider this development to be as significant, if not more significant, than PyroGenesis' original Plasma Atomization invention.

Q. Conclusion?

A. Not only are we the inventors of Plasma Atomization but we coined the term in our original patent issued in 1998. All other plasma atomization technologies used in the AM space owe their existence to our original patent notwithstanding any improvements they purport to have made.

We are back as a powder producer. Our stated goal is to enable AM (i.e. 3D printing) to reach new heights while at the same time address the current powder needs of the industry. We believe we have, so far, not only been true to this goal, but have excelled in pursuing it; which is the essence of our press release today. We have only had a system in ramp-up phase since March of this year, but in this short timeframe have new patents pending and, as of late, developed further game-changing know-how. In addition, the reception by the market has caused us to look at ways to accelerate our original strategic plan.

We look forward to completing the ramp-up phase, by incorporating our advances, and developing strategic relationships to accelerate our growth. We are also looking forward to playing a significant role in this dynamic AM market and anticipate a very exciting year ahead.

PyroGenesis Additive further announces that it will be exhibiting at this year's TCT show in Birmingham, England (Sept 26 - 28). The TCT Show is one of the world's leading events dedicated to 3D printing, additive manufacturing and product development as over 250 exhibitors are showcased to more than 7,000 attendees. We invite those who will be attending the show to stop by our booth# C61 and speak with our sales team; Mr. Massimo Dattilo, VP, PyroGenesis Additive, and Mr. Alex Pascali, Sales Manager, PyroGenesis Additive.

Separately, PyroGenesis announces today that it is featured as a presenting company at the 19th Annual Rodman & Renshaw Global Investment Conference, sponsored by H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. The conference is currently in process, scheduled for September 10-12, at the Lotte New York Palace Hotel in New York City. Mr. Pascali will provide an overview of the Company's business on Tuesday, September 12th, during a live presentation and has scheduled several one-on-one meetings with investors who are registered to attend the conference. The conference is attended by over 2,000 attendees.

Finally, the Company announces today that an additional CAN$600,000 of previously issued warrants have been exercised. "Once again, this exercise of warrants is timely," said Mr. Pascali. "As announced herein, we are currently looking beyond the ramp-up phase towards increasing production capacity ahead of our original expectations. This exercise of warrants, together with any future exercise of warrants and options, will enable us to implement plans to accelerate this growth, including our original schedule to increase our production capacity of metal powders for the AM (3D Printing) Industry. As previously announced, we are still looking at ways to have up to three (3) additional powder production systems operating in 2018. To date, our metal powder production strategy is progressing far better than planned, and we are very pleased."

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired – September 18, 2017) - PyroGenesis Additive, a division of PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press release dated August 14, 2017, wherein it was announced that the Company had developed a new plasma-based atomization process to produce metal powders for 3D printers, specifically the MIM cut titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) powder Grade 5 (which for the purposes herein, we define as small fine metal powders, that can be used by metal 3D printers, typically in the 5µm-25µm size range), and wherein it was also announced that it seemed that the same process might make titanium MIM cut Grade 23, the Company now confirms that this process can, in fact, make titanium MIM cut Grade 23 powder in commercial quantities. Further to this, the Company is also pleased to announce that it has already received orders for samples of both Grade 5 and, most notably, Grade 23 Ti-6AL-4V MIM cut powders.

Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis, provides an overview of today’s announcement in the following Q&A format:

Q. What is the attraction of MIM cut powders? A. The use of a MIM cut powder allows improved surface finish and increased definition of the parts. MIM cut refers to a powder size traditionally intended for use in the Metal Injection Molding industry, hence the phrase “MIM”. We also use this term to describe this same size cut (i.e., the finest powder size produced by plasma atomization, typically below 25µm), and which we are seeing a potentially explosive demand for by metal 3D printers. The press has most recently noted the increased interest in using this fine powder by 3D printer manufactures such as Desktop Metal, Markforged and 3DEO. These new printing technologies hold the promise of much higher throughput and reduced costs compared to mainstream printers. Of note, and where PyroGenesis Additive has applicability, is that the metal 3D printer demands for this MIM cut cannot be serviced by the powders which traditionally were used by Metal Injection Molding, as they are not pure enough. The MIM cut powder of Ti-6Al-4V has traditionally only been available, in commercial quantities, as Grade 5. Given PyroGenesis Additive’s new plasma-based process, as described in its September 12, 2017 news release, it is now able to address this market by producing extremely narrow size distributions, at significantly higher production rates, with higher yields (i.e. little to no waste), and at much lower operating costs for both Grade 5 and Grade 23 in commercial quantities.
To the best of our knowledge, we know of no other company that offers commercial quantities of Ti-6Al-4V Grade 23 MIM cut. Once again, PyroGenesis Additive is inventing, and innovating, thereby enabling 3D printers to reach new levels.

Q. What is the difference between Grade 5 and Grade 23? A. The primary difference between the two is oxygen content, with Grade 23 having less oxygen content than Grade 5 (i.e. maximum oxygen content of 0.13% vs 0.20%). Since MIM cut powders are smaller, there is a tendency to have increased oxygen content due to more exposed surface area.1 Therefore, it is very difficult, in this particle range to have low oxygen content which is sometimes preferred. Q. Why is it a challenge to make Grade 23? A. There are two challenges in making Grade 23 MIM cut powder: 1) quality and 2) quantity. First, quality: because of its small size and relatively high surface area, the powder tends to pick up oxygen easily. By carefully controlling the operating environment of the plasma reactor, it is possible to minimize the oxygen pickup and, consequently, the oxygen content of the final powder. Second, quantity: plasma processes have traditionally been designed to produce relatively large powders. By allowing to shift the particle size distribution to smaller sizes, the new PyroGenesis process maximizes the amount of powder available in the MIM cut range.

Q. Can you give us an update on sample orders and shipments? A. To date, PyroGenesis Additive has received six (6) unique sample orders, including one sample order for our Grade 23 and Grade 5 MIM cut. Of these sample orders, we have currently shipped four (4).

Q. So, in conclusion, when will this success translate into more substantial orders? A. It is important to put these sample orders in context. We never expected to receive any sample orders during the ramp-up phase. It is, as you can imagine, very difficult to project any sales from these sample orders. However, I think it is safe to say that given the amount of interest, the timing, and the type of clients we are seeing, we can expect that some future long-term contracts might be in the very near future. If that is true, one can well imagine that the impact on the Company

1 “Titanium Powder Metallurgy: Science Technology and Application”, Ma Quian and Francis H. Froes editors, Elsevier, 2015, 2015, p.340.
could be so significant that whether that happens in a week, a month, or six (6) months, the difference in timing is a drop in the bucket when compared to the commercial implications. I can say however, that these sample orders have translated into company visits; both to our facilities and to theirs… and remember this is all during ramp-up.

As previously announced, PyroGenesis Additive will be exhibiting at this year’s TCT show in Birmingham, England (Sept 26 – 28). The TCT Show is one of the world's leading events dedicated to 3D printing, Additive Manufacturing and product development as over 250 exhibitors are showcased to more than 7,000 attendees. We invite those who will be attending the show to stop by our booth# C61 and speak with our sales team: Mr. Massimo Dattilo, VP, PyroGenesis Additive, and Mr. Alex Pascali, Sales Manager, PyroGenesis Additive.

Separately, PyroGenesis announces today that it will be presenting at The MicroCap Conference on October 5, 2017, at the Essex House in New York City. The MicroCap Conference is an exclusive event for investors who specialize in small and microcap stocks. Mr. Pascali will provide an overview of the Company's business, during a live presentation and has scheduled several one-onone meetings with investors who are registered to attend the conference. This event is exclusive to portfolio managers, analysts, and private investors.

"Approximately one year ago, GE announced its acquisition of Arcam and, by default, AP&C. This acquisition, in our opinion, effectively introduced a supply chain risk in Additive Manufacturing ("AM"), despite AP&C's willingness to still sell powders into the marketplace. We have found that end-users, and metal 3D printer manufacturers alike, want to make their supply chain more robust. We believe that as a result of GE's acquisition of Arcam/AP&C, we are seeing a particular interest from GE's competitors."

PyroGenesis Announces Grant of Two (2) US Patents

PyroGenesis Announces Grant of Two (2) US Patents for a Total of 54 Patents owned (Issued and Pending)

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(GlobeNewswire– October 26, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announces today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued two unrelated US Patents to the Company, U.S. Patent. No. 9,447,705 and U.S. Patent No. 9,752,206; the first targeting the Environmental Industry, and the second targeting the Mining and Metallurgy Industry, which brings the total number of issued and pending patents held by the Company to fifty-four (54).
“We are happy to add these 2 new patents to our solid and substantial global intellectual property portfolio, which now consists of over 17 issued patents worldwide, and an additional 37 patent applications in progress”, said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “When combined with our know-how and significant trade secrets, we have over time created a formidable barrier to entry in the markets where we are active.”

U.S Patent. No. 9,447,705 – Maximizing Energy Recovery in Waste to Energy Processes
U.S Patent. No. 9,447,705 specifically relates to improving the recovery of energy in plasma gasification processes as well as conventional fossil fuel incinerators. As applied to PyroGenesis’ waste-to-energy technologies, this patent provides an innovative way to capture waste heat from various components within the process (i.e. plasma torches, reaction vessels, cooling jackets amongst other high-temperature components requiring cooling), in addition to recovering energy from the hot process gas exhausts.


Block Flow Diagram from Patent No. 9,447,705

Building upon its proven track record and its proprietary technology, currently being used by the US Navy, PyroGenesis will now be able to offer systems with even higher efficiency to recover energy from waste for small and medium size applications. “Essentially, we are taking our existing cuttingedge technology and making it so much better”, said Mr. Carabin, “which underscores our philosophy at PyroGenesis to strive for innovation with the goal of making our own technologies obsolete.”
Of note, the waste-to-energy market is expected to grow at a compounded annual rate in excess of 5.5%, to exceed $35 billion by 20191.

U.S Patent. No. 9,752,206 – Plasma Torches Replace Fossil Fuel Burners U.S Patent. No. 9,752,206 relates to using plasma torches instead of diesel burners in blast furnaces during iron ore pellet induration. Induration of iron ore pellets is an essential step in blast furnaces. The purpose of a blast furnace is to reduce and convert iron oxides into liquid iron called "hot metal". This process is traditionally heated by fuel burners. The use of diesel burners is extremely pollutive as the process burns natural gas, heavy oil or pulverized coal. By using electric powered plasma torches, the generation of CO2 created by diesel
1 https://www.bccresearch.com/market-research/energy-and-resou…
burners is effectively eliminated.

The amount of pollution produced by these diesel burners is significant. For example, a typical pellet plant producing 10 million metric tonnes of pellets annually emits approximately one million metric tonnes of CO2. The total world pellet production of 400 million metric tonnes of pellets therefore corresponds to the production of 40 million metric tonnes of CO2. This is equivalent to 8.5 million cars on the road, year after year2.
“This new patent is a proprietary process whereby the generation of CO2 by the conventional iron ore pelletizing processes is reduced by using plasma torches powered by renewable electricity instead of burning a fossil fuel, resulting in a near zero emission process”, said Mr. Carabin. “Moreover, and most importantly, depending on the price of oil, electricity and carbon credits, replacing diesel burners with plasma troches can result in very significant and quick paybacks.”
The total world production of such iron pellets is approximately 400 million metric tonnes per year, which corresponds to about 20% of the total iron ore production. Pellet production thermal energy consumption ranges between 600 and 1000 MJ/t3. Assuming all this energy was replaced by 1 MW PyroGenesis’ plasma torches, the total number of torches required worldwide would be in the order of 10,000 units. At current torch prices, this represents a market in excess of $7.5 billion.
“We have patent applications with similarly broad claims which are currently pending in Europe, Japan, China and other industrialized nations,” said Mr. Pierre Carabin. “We are extremely selective in terms of what intellectual property we patent, as funds for such expenditures are limited. This in part explains the high level of success in awards we receive as we only pursue those that have a high probability of success.”

PyroGenesis Signs Non-Disclosure Agreement with Rolls-Royce plc for Additive Manufacturing Powders

PyroGenesis Signs Non-Disclosure Agreement with Rolls-Royce plc for Additive Manufacturing Powders

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(GlobeNewswire– November 6, 2017) - PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announces today that it has signed a non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) with Rolls-Royce plc (“RR plc”).

The purpose of the NDA is to encompass the evaluation and discussion of business opportunities, including proposal or offer generation, submission and evaluation, for the provision of providing powders to R-R plc.

“We are very happy to be in discussions with Rolls Royce and look forward, now that the NDA has been signed, to have more substantive discussions on the production of powder for Rolls Royce,” said P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “I must caution readers however, not to draw any premature conclusions from this announcement. Though it does signal the interest in our product, and that the interest comes from a very discerning, demanding, and sophisticated party, we are still at the very preliminary stages and there is no guarantee that anything, of any commercial value, will materialize form these efforts.”

PyroGenesis is the inventor of Plasma Atomization – a plasma-based process that produces small, spherical, metal powders for the Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) industry, particularly 3D printing, and for which has become a gold standard.

The Company recently announced the successful completion of the ramp-up of its first (1st) plasma atomization system since announcing, in 2016, that it would become a supplier of powders to the AM industry. During ramp-up, the Company not only received several sample orders, but also developed new Intellectual Property which effectively allowed to produce very narrow particle size distributions, at higher production rates, with little-to-no waste. The Company feels that this breakthrough could be even more game changing than its original Plasma Atomization patent.

Separately, the Company announces today that, further to a subsequent event reviewed in the Q32016 Management Discussion and Analysis, wherein it was noted that a director had refused 2,000,000 options at $0.18 per share, the Board of Directors, in accordance with its Stock Option



Plan, has approved the grant of up to 2,400,000 incentive stock options (each an “Option”) to this same director, also President and CEO of the Company, to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 Common Shares of the Company, at a price of $0.58 per share. The Options will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years, commencing on the date of the grant. The grant remains subject to regulatory and Exchange approval.

Wobei,
die Rolls-Royce Geschichte ist für mich fast zweitrangig.
Viel wichtiger ist dieser Abschnitt, erklärt er doch ( vielleicht ) die relative Kursschwäche der letzten Zeit.
Der Boss sollte doch zu möglichst niedrigen (Tages-)Kursen seine neuen Optionen erhalten ( und das zu recht ! ):

Separately, the Company announces today that, further to a subsequent event reviewed in the Q3-2016 Management Discussion and Analysis, wherein it was noted that a director had refused 2,000,000 options at $0.18 per share, the Board of Directors, in accordance with its Stock Option Plan, has approved the grant of up to 2,400,000 incentive stock options (each an “Option”) to this same director, also President and CEO of the Company, to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,400,000 Common Shares of the Company, at a price of $0.58 per share. The Options will be exercisable for a period of five (5) years, commencing on the date of the grant. The grant remains subject to regulatory and Exchange approval.

3D Print.com on PYR

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. has signed a non-disclosure agreement with Rolls Royce PLC to evaluate and discuss a potential supply of metal feedstock for 3D printing components.
The preliminary agreement follows Rolls Royce’s increased investment into additive manufacturing R&D across its businesses, and PyroGenesis’ move into refined metal powder production under its spin-off PyroGenesis Additive.
More substantive discussions for PyroGenesis
PyroGenesis, which is credited with the invention of the Plasma Atomization process for producing spherical metal powders, announced its first powder production system and production run in March 2017.
The Quebec-based company also began scaled up production of metal powders for 3D printing via Powder Bed Fusion (PBF). In doing so, the company refined the differentiation of particles in its powder in order to create less waste and widen the potential applications.
As a result of the non-disclosure agreement, PyroGenesis will now have “more substantive discussions on the production of powder for Rolls Royce,” according to P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis.
Pascali also cautioned against drawing “any premature conclusions from this announcement,” since the talks between PyroGenesis and Rolls-Royce were in their “preliminary stages.” He asserts that there is “no guarantee that anything, of any commercial value, will materialize from these efforts.”

Positivity from the markets
Although Pascali’s comments appear to have been directed at investors, the market reaction to the non-disclosure agreement has been positive.
Share prices for PyroGenesis Canada Inc. experienced an slight increase in value, and the company share price opened at CAN$0.65 (US$0.51) on the 6th of November, compared to CAN$0.59 (US$0.46) on the 3rd.
Rolls Royce’s applications
Rolls Royce’s has been using 3D printed parts for over a decade. It notably applies Direct Energy Deposition to 3D print blisks for its engines.
The company’s recent R&D in additive manufacturing notably included using the UK national Synchrotron in Harwell, Oxfordshire, to further investigate what happens during Direct Energy Deposition 3D printing process, and improve print quality.
Sales figures for Rolls Royce’s luxury cars published in January showed a record number of purchases being made following the introduction of models with custom-order 3D printed parts.

PyroGenesis Additive to Reveal Completion of Powder Performance Characterization Results
by Independent Parties at FormNext

MONTREAL, Nov. 13, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V:PYR) (OTCQB:PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announces today that its powder performance characterization program (the “Program”), for Titanium (Ti64 ELI) powders, by independent parties, has been completed, and will be revealed at FormNext this week in Frankfurt, Germany. FormNext is the leading trade fair for the Additive Manufacturing (“AM”) industry.

The Program consisted of:

i) Powder Analysis: an analysis of the properties of PyroGenesis’ titanium (Ti64) powders in comparison to a well-known titanium powder supplier, and

ii) Performance Testing: testing the performance of these powders on one of the most widely installed metal 3D printers1, using the manufacturer’s settings, and generating a Material Data Sheet (“MDS”) which, management believes, compares favorably to those available in the marketplace.

The powder analysis was performed by an independent laboratory, who analyzed common powder properties such as sphericity, density and purity, using a cutting-edge digital imaging technique. During this process, PyroGenesis’ titanium powders were scanned using a Nikon XT H 225 X-ray m-CT system. The volume was then reconstructed with a voxel size of 1.1 µm3 and analyzed with the Dragonfly V3 powder analysis routine. The aspect ratio, equivalent diameter, volume and porosity of the powder were evaluated.

“We consider a perfect powder to be highly spherical, fully dense, and pure,” said Mr. Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “Our powders were sent to an independent lab for analysis, and when tested, reflected a high level of sphericity, little-to-no porosity, with exceptional purity. These combined results make, in my opinion, our powder exceptional in the market.”

The second part of the Program, which was performed by an independent university research team, consisted of testing PyroGenesis’ powders on one of the most widely installed Selective Laser Melting (SLM) type printers, to produce test parts, collect performance parameters, and generate a MDS specific to PyroGenesis’ titanium powders. The results were found to compare favorably with those presently available in the marketplace.

__________
1 Wholer’s Report 2016

Printer OEMs characterize powders on their printers to provide a MDS which highlights the expected performance of a specific part produced, using a specific powder, on a chosen setting. Typically, printer OEMs provide predefined parameter settings for each material with the goal of optimizing a specific aspect of the print job (for example, one setting may optimize quality while another typically optimizes productivity, i.e. faster build rate).

PyroGenesis worked with the university research team to generate a PyroGenesis’ MDS which outlines the performance parameters of PyroGenesis’ titanium powders on an EOS M 280 400W printer, at the manufacturer’s standard settings, to optimize quality. The results produced equivalent, or better, results than those widely accepted.

PyroGenesis is currently in the process of determining, and generating, two (2) additional performance MDS for the same printer, but now focusing on productivity, i.e. build rate. The first (1st) data sheet will be generated using the manufacturer’s standard settings for productivity, while the second (2nd) will be generated at a setting optimized to take advantage of the specific characteristics of PyroGenesis’ powders.

“Given the data received to date, we expect that the build rate will be significantly higher, for the same quality than that currently available,” said Mr. Pierre Carabin. “These results are excepted within the next four (4) months.”

“The economic value of a printer lies in the build rate. The more parts you can print without losing quality implies significant value to the user,” said Mr. P Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “By making available a competitively priced powder, which could increase build rates, will significantly impact the economics of the printer to an end user.”

PyroGenesis will be presenting the results announced today at the upcoming FormNext show in Frankfurt, Germany (Nov 14-17, 2017) in Hall 3.0, Booth G33, wherein the Company will reveal both i) the powder characterization test results and related 3D animated images, as well as ii) the MDS for -53/+20 µm Ti64 grade ELI powders.

PyroGenesis Announces $1.02 Million Sale of 2nd DROSRITE™ Furnace System to North American Automobile Parts Manufacturer

2017-11-16 08:35 ET - News Release

MONTREAL, Nov. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V:PYR) (OTCQB:PYRNF), a high-tech company (the “Company” or “PyroGenesis”) that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, announces today that it has received a purchase order, in the amount of US$ 800,000 (Can$ 1.02 million), for the sale of a second (2nd) DROSRITE™ Furnace System (the “System”) to a North American automobile parts manufacturer (the “Client”).

The system is the second (2nd) commercial System sold to date and represents a re-order from the Client; the name of which remains confidential for competitive reasons. Delivery is scheduled to be in Q2-2018, and the contract calls for a fifty percent (50%) down payment and ten percent (10%) holdback.

PyroGenesis’ DROSRITE™ System is a salt-free, cost-effective, sustainable process for maximizing metal recovery from dross, a waste generated in the metallurgical industry. PyroGenesis’ patented process avoids costly loss of metal while reducing a smelter’s carbon footprint and energy consumption, providing an impressive return on investment.

“With aluminum manufacturers being subjected to increased pressure from regulatory authorities, requiring them to eliminate landfilling of hazardous salt cakes from traditional recovery operations, combined with tight operating margins, PyroGenesis’ DROSRITE™ System is able to (i) increase metal recovery from waste, without producing any hazardous by-products, while (ii) reducing operating costs,” said Mr. Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis.

Additionally, as previously announced, PyroGenesis had received an unsolicited offer from a waste management company to be the sole distributor of PyroGenesis’ DROSRITE™ System within the Gulf Cooperation Council (the “GCC”). A successful DROSRITE™ demonstration was conducted at a major aluminum smelter, following which a formal visit took place at PyroGenesis’ facility in Montreal, Canada. Negotiations for the sale of DROSRITE™ Systems are currently underway.

Separately, a potential client from India has engaged PyroGenesis to perform a pilot demonstration at its manufacturer facility. The pilot system is currently being deployed to India for a demonstration scheduled in Q1-2018.

“PyroGenesis has recently hired a dedicated business development professional to address the growing demand for DROSRITE™,” said Massimo Dattilo, VP, Business Development of PyroGenesis. “Given our existing Client’s need for an additional 2 systems; combined with the continuing demand from the Middle East; and the fact that the Company’s demonstration unit is currently in-transit to India, all reflects, we believe, DROSRITE™’s success at addressing a serious need within the aluminum industry. The Company is currently targeting primary aluminum smelters in Asia and the Middle East where the market is estimated to be in excess of 1 million tonnes of dross1, as well as tertiary casting producers worldwide, all of which we expect will represent a potential requirement for DROSRITE™ systems numbering in the hundreds of units.”

“We expect DROSRITE™ to be a significant contributor to the operations of our non-additive business segments,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, President and CEO of PyroGenesis. “It underscores the success of our strategic plan in targeting high value niche problems in various industries. The fact that we have one of the largest concentrations of plasma expertise, under one roof, gives us the unique advantage of being able to target, and address, these opportunities.”

Das klingt ja ( zusätzlich ) sehr nach einer Umweltschutz-Aktie


Das PyroGenesis 'DROSRITE {A & # 153;} System ist ein salzfreies, kosteneffizientes, nachhaltiges Verfahren zur Maximierung der Metallgewinnung aus Schlacke, einem in der metallurgischen Industrie anfallenden Abfall. Das patentierte Verfahren von PyroGenesis verhindert kostspieligen Metallverlust bei gleichzeitiger Reduzierung des CO2-Fußabdrucks und des Energieverbrauchs der Schmelzer und bietet eine beeindruckende Rendite.

"Da die Aluminiumhersteller einem erhöhten Druck seitens der Aufsichtsbehörden ausgesetzt sind und von ihnen verlangen, die Deponierung gefährlicher Salzkuchen von traditionellen Verwertungsverfahren zu eliminieren, verbunden mit engen operativen Margen, ist das DROSRITE (A) -System von PyroGenesis in der Lage, erhöhen die Metallgewinnung aus Abfall, ohne gefährliche Nebenprodukte zu produzieren, während (ii) die Betriebskosten gesenkt werden ", sagte Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer von PyroGenesis.

Darüber hinaus hatte PyroGenesis, wie bereits angekündigt, ein unaufgefordertes Angebot von einer Entsorgungsfirma erhalten, der Alleinvertrieb des DROSRITE {A & # 153;} Systems von PyroGenesis innerhalb des Gulf Cooperation Council (der "GCC") zu sein. Eine erfolgreiche Demonstration von DROSRITE {A} wurde in einer großen Aluminiumhütte durchgeführt, woraufhin ein offizieller Besuch bei PyroGenesis in Montreal, Kanada, stattfand. Derzeit laufen Verhandlungen über den Verkauf von DROSRITE {A & # 153;} -Systemen.

Unabhängig davon hat ein potenzieller Kunde aus Indien PyroGenesis beauftragt, eine Pilotdemonstration im Werk des Herstellers durchzuführen. Das Pilot-System wird derzeit für eine im ersten Quartal 2018 geplante Demonstration in Indien eingesetzt.

Das DROSRITETM Furnace System wurde im ersten Halbjahr 2016 bei einem nordamerikanischen Kunden in Mexiko getestet. Bald darauf fand eine erfolgreiche Demonstration des DROSRITE ™ Systems im Nahen Osten statt, gefolgt von einer unaufgeforderten Anfrage zur exklusiven Vermarktung des Verfahrens in der Region. ....und ist, in dieser Schrift, in den letzten Monaten des Abschlusses. Das Unternehmen hat auch eine Anfrage erhalten, Anfang 2018 die DROSRITE ™ -Fähigkeiten in Indien zu demonstrieren. Diese Flut von Aktivitäten und Interesse für das DROSRITE ™ -System führte dazu, dass das Unternehmen einen Vollzeit-Business Development Manager für die Vermarktung des DROSRITE ™ -Systems einsetzte.
