Empire Energy Group Ltd (ASX:EEG) Northern Territory Fracking Moratorium Lifted

$

0
The Directors of Empire Energy Group Limited (ASX:EEG) (OTCMKTS:EEGNY) ("Empire" or "the Company") are pleased to provide shareholders with an update on the lifting of the fracking moratorium in the Northern Territory.

This morning the Northern Territory Government announced that the moratorium on fracture stimulation of unconventional onshore gas reservoirs is to be lifted.

The Chief Minister, Michael Gunner, announced that the Government had accepted all 135 recommendations of the Scientific Inquiry into Fracture Stimulation in the Northern Territory.

Mr Gunner said that the implementation of the recommendations of the Final Report would now begin so that Territorians could benefit from the creation of new jobs while protecting the Territory's unique natural environment.

Empire's 100% owned subsidiary, Imperial Oil & Gas Pty Limited ("Imperial"), has over 14.5 million acres in the McArthur and Beetaloo Basins, Northern Territory, both of which are considered highly prospective for large shale oil and gas resources. The Company has been operating in the Northern Territory since 2010.

The Government will now commence to undertake a process of implementing new rules and regulations pertaining to the industry. This is likely to include certain areas where development can occur, and other areas which have been described as 'potential reserved areas'. Such areas are likely to include national parks and areas of significant cultural heritage to Traditional Owners. The Company intends to proactively engage with the appropriate Government department and Traditional Owner groups to define areas which are appropriate for continued development. The implementation timetable is currently unknown.

Empire welcomes the Northern Territory Government's decision which, following implementation of regulations, will facilitate the responsible development of the Company's highly prospective shale acreage position.

Some of the key elements of these new laws and regulations will include:

- Ensuring all Environmental Management Plans for fracking must be assessed by the EPA and signed off by the Minister for the Environment;

- Strict new requirements that must be met before exploration approval is granted including codes of practice for well integrity and well decommissioning, development of wastewater management frameworks, the requirement for gas companies to obtain a water license;

- Strict new requirements that must be met before production can take place including the development of robust and transparent monitoring strategies, discussions with industry and pastoralists regarding land access requirements and compensation, and release of all environmental management plans for public comment;

- Broad standing to seek judicial and merits review of statutory decisions;

- Broad new powers to sanction non-compliance, civil enforcement proceedings and increased criminal penalties for environmental harm.

The Company continues to carry out advanced discussions with potential joint venture partners which would fund the exploration and appraisal activities required to unlock the substantial resource potential of the Company's acreage in the Northern Territory.

The Company will provide further updates to shareholders as further information becomes available.

Thundelarra Ltd (ASX:THX) Air Core Programme Completed at Garden Gully

$
0
0
Thundelarra (ASX:THX) (OTCMKTS:TLXPF) is pleased to report that the Air Core (AC) drilling programme at Garden Gully has been completed and samples submitted for assay. The principal objective of the AC programme was to test for near-surface extensions of the known mineralised structures and to provide geological data over zones that our initial interpretation suggests might host previously unrecognised structures with the potential to be mineralised.

- 274 AC holes drilled for 14,025m total advance

- 20 AC traverses across seven prospects

- Testing for near-surface extensions of mineralised structures

- RC and DD rigs currently on site drilling follow-up

- 39,979m drilled in 415 holes prior to current RC/DD programme

o 23,432m in 128 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes

o 2,523m in 13 diamond drill (DD) holes

o 14,025m in 274 AC holes

When all assay results have been received and collated then the resultant geological interpretations will be reported to the market, together with any significant findings.

Our initial shallow scout drilling at Garden Gully, which began in mid-2016, aimed to identify targets below the transported cover. The approach proved very successful, delivering several new prospects that were previously unknown, with Lydia a prime example. Given the positive outcomes of that initial exploration, we remain confident that these recently-completed air core traverses will identify multiple additional targets for more detailed follow-up in subsequent programmes.

With the increased understanding of the mineralisation controls gained from the drilling programmes carried out to date, it became clear that there were several untested areas along strike from known zones of mineralisation that offered potential to host repetitions or extensions. Air core represented the most cost effective way to test the model and identify further follow-up targets.

The Garden Gully project area is characterised by a veneer of transported cover of variable thickness, underlain in places by a hard subsurface layer of duricrust. We believe that the combination of these factors has contributed to past soil geochemistry surveys failing to identify and locate accurately the underlying primary mineralised structures that our exploration has found. This is the rationale for the programme of air core / narrow diameter hammer drill programmes - to penetrate the transported surface cover and generate more meaningful regolith geochemical profiles that we have shown to generate meaningful targets for follow-up deeper reverse circulation drilling.

About Garden Gully.

Thundelarra's wholly-owned Garden Gully project comprises 15 granted Prospecting Licences and 2 granted Exploration Licences covering about 78 square kilometres, located in Western Australia's Murchison region about 20 kilometres north-west of the town of Meekatharra.

Queensland Bauxite Ltd (ASX:QBL) VitaHemp Releases Its "Black Label" Premium Hemp Seed Oil Soft Gel Capsules

$

0
The Board of Queensland Bauxite (ASX:QBL) are pleased to advise that Medical Cannabis Limited (MCL) through its subsidiary VitaHemp Pty Ltd (VitaHemp), has announced the release of a very first to market, Australian grown and processed Hemp Seed Oil soft-gel capsules.

Over the past week, three of VitaHemp's new "Black label" products have been launched on VitaHemp's website www.vitahemp.com

More and more Australians understand a correlation between diet and general well-being. Omega 3-6-9 oils are often consumed via animal based oils or fish oils, including intensively farmed byproducts from fish aquaculture.

However, many are now seeking plant-based alternatives such as Hemp Seed Oil which provide the same important Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) and Gamma Linoleic Acids (GLA's).

Hemp Seed Oil contains an ideal balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids for the body in an optimal 1:3 ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 required for body consumption and use whereas fish oil capsules (such as salmon, herring, sardines and anchovies) can have a sub-optimal profile of around seven to twenty times the omega-6 to omega-3 oils.

(source: http://abnnewswire.net/lnk/FFQKFIMS).

Technical Director of MCL, Andrew Kavasilas said, "There is a number of reasons why our fish oil replacement capsules make a lot of sense, besides the added health benefits associated with a primarily plant-based diet. The Vitahemp capsules can also guarantee Australian grown hemp seed, no chemical residues, no mercury and definitely no odours which are common causes of complaint about fish oil capsules".

VitaHemp capsules provide genuine quality for its users. Not all Hempseed oils are equal, there can be variances. The adage "oils ain't oils" applies to Hemp Seed Oil. Only careful cold-pressing, slow filtering processes and climate-controlled conditions, ensure real quality.

VitaHemp's Seed and processing Division, HHC, and partners Waltanna Hemp Group, provide the finest quality hulled hemp seed, hemp protein, hemp flour and refined Hemp Seed Oil in Australia. Our proprietary processing facilities are amongst the best in the world for producing quality fresh hemp seed food products. MCL's seed and production division is setting the standard as a global leader in hemp seed food production here in Australia.

The "Black label" range of Hemp Seed Oil products are the next advancement in cold-pressed refining. We are now able to refine smoother oils, extend the shelf-life of our Hemp Seed Oils and fit all our oil products with superior quality sealing to prevent nutrient loss, which can occur when product is exposed to light and air. This improvement in technology has allowed VitaHemp to increase its bottle range to include a 250ml and our new 500ml Longneck product for the Australian consumer. We believe, that VitaHemp's "Black label" Hemp Seed Oil soft gel capsules will fill a current vacancy in the marketplace by supplying a Hemp Seed product which is a plant-based alternative to Fish Oil capsules.

Pnina Feldman, Executive Chairperson of QBL commented, "The Board of QBL are very pleased to see the continued development of MCL's business, including the release of these new innovative and quality products which we anticipate will be well received by consumers, and thereby generate significant revenues for the benefit of all our shareholders".

Queensland Bauxite Ltd (ASX:QBL) Coles Now Selling Hemp Products Provided by MCL

$

The Board of Queensland Bauxite Limited (ASX:QBL) is pleased to advise that Red Tractor have now supplied hundreds of Coles stores around Australia with various products and oil blends that have hemp ingredients included exclusively supplied by QBL's subsidiary Medical cannabis Limited (MCL) and its hemp seed food subsidiary VitaHemp Pty Ltd (Vitahemp).

Exposing Hemp Foods to a mass consumer market who may know little about Hemp, and now see Hemp derived products on a Coles shelf, inspires confidence and provides a win for a bourgeoning Hemp Foods industry, that VitaHemp is now leading. This is a huge step towards assuring and educating the consumer on the safety and health benefits of hemp seed foods, and breaking down the misconceptions and social stigma around the consuming of hemp for its nutritional and health benefits.

Whether it be filling VitaHemp pouches or supplying the core ingredients for other brands, the core quality must remain the same, the very best. VitaHemp is excited, particularly so early in its journey, to report that products created utilising its premium oils and flours are now sitting on Coles shelves.

It all begins with the seed and the quality of the production. VitaHemp is one of the very few Australian companies that have access to hemp seed on a large commercial scale, and is able to commercially bulk produce its oils and flour at a high quality. MCL's processing partner Waltanna Farms had the orders, and with their blending and bottling expertise together we made it happen to ensure that there is now premium hemp ingredients and products on Coles shelves for the Australian consumer of this newly legally recognised superfood.

Andrew Kavasilas, Technical Director of MCL, remarked "The stocking of hemp products in a major supermarket chain such as Coles, is a fulfilment of our vision that we have worked for over the past two decades in pushing towards the legalisation of hemp foods in Australia, so that the average Australian consumer is now exposed to and can now easily benefit from the great health benefits that this superfood provides."

EnviroMission Limited (ASX:EVM) (OTCMKTS:EVOMY) has executed a financial advisory agreement with Atkins Acuity, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group (TSE:SNC), to raise the development and project capital necessary to commercialise the first EnviroMission Solar Tower power station.

Atkins Acuity is an end-to-end advisory consultancy that combines extensive engineering and master planning capability with new structuring, financing and project preparation expertise. SNC-Lavalin acquired Atkins Acuity, as part of WS Atkins plc, on July 3, 2017.

EnviroMission's La Paz Solar Tower is planned to be the world's first large-scale solar thermal renewable energy power station capable of generating 200MW of electricity for up to 150,000 households - saving around 1,000,000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the atmosphere annually - from a facility with a carbon payback life cycle analysis (LCA) of 2.5 years.

Atkins Acuity works closely with a broad range of public and private sector clients globally, including governments, project sponsors and financiers, to ensure large infrastructure projects are viable and bankable through a range of services that span the entire value chain from project inception through to project feasibility, economic appraisal, due diligence, finance raising and financial close.

The mandate given by EnviroMission is to raise the necessary development and project capital on a non-exclusive basis. Costs associated with this raising will be in line with commercial and industry standards.

The development capital necessary to complete the design parameters of the La Paz Solar Tower is expected to be US$20,000,000; the first stage is estimated by Atkins Acuity to be US$6,000,000 - the first stage of front end engineering and design (FEED) will inform the cost and planning schedule for the development of the La Paz Solar Tower

On the completion of raising the necessary development capital, this mandate will become exclusive with Atkins Acuity.

The design and engineering will be completed by the wider SNC-Lavalin group and a formal development agreement, already prepared, will be executed by the parties, on the receipt by EnviroMission, of the initial US$6,000,000 of the proposed US$20,000,000 development capital.

Atkins was one of three engineering and design firms invited to provide an engineering proposal after EnviroMission received engineering qualification statements from a number of engineering entities.

During the proposal period all three respondents performed their own detailed due diligence; the due diligence carried out by Atkins assisted Atkins Acuity in preparing the necessary funding documentation.

"Never before has EnviroMission engaged in an agreement with the same potential for project success based on the skills, expertise, experience and access to capital that resides in SNC-Lavalin's Acuity business.

"Commercialisation of Solar Tower technology has always been stated to be dependent on accessing skilled advisory and engineering services as well as access to capital on a scale not necessarily available through one encompassing entity, however, the end-to-end solution available through the SNC-Lavalin Group is a rare opportunity to bring a fully integrated approach to the vision of Solar Tower power station development.

"The scale of Solar Tower development is entirely realistic to SNC-Lavalin's capabilities for capital raising and provision of project equity and debt, and fits with its vision to secure long term commercial opportunities from niche mandates and megaprojects.

"EnviroMission is optimistic to recommend the merit of this agreement with the SNC-Lavalin Group to shareholders and the broader public that may share in the vision for Solar Tower development," Roger Davey, EnviroMission Chief Executive, said in announcing this vital financing agreement.

Founded in 1911, SNC-Lavalin is a global fully integrated professional services and project management company and a major player in the ownership of infrastructure. From offices around the world, SNC-Lavalin's employees are proud to build what matters. Our teams provide comprehensive end-to-end project solutions - including capital investment, consulting, design, engineering, construction, sustaining capital and operations and maintenance - to clients in oil and gas, mining and metallurgy, infrastructure and power. On July 3, 2017, SNC-Lavalin acquired Atkins, one of the world's most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies. http://www.snclavalin.com

XPED Ltd (ASX:XPE) Company Update

$

0
Australian Internet of Things (IoT) technology company, Xped Limited (ASX:XPE) ("Xped" or "the Company") is pleased to provide this market update regarding recent progress and developments.

Highlights

- Xped SH2 smart home gateway progress

- Smart building solution delivery

- IoT cyber security proof of concept delivered

- Smart home customer experience demos deployed

Xped SH2 Gateway

Xped's SH2 smart home gateway is in the final stages of beta testing with its partners, coupled with Xped's device browser mobile application.

Designed and developed in-house by Xped's hardware engineering team and loaded with the full ADRC stack, the SH2 gateway is in the late stages of production, with a small run of custom boards already produced, and a second run underway.

Tooling is underway for injection moulding of the SH2 Gateway's enclosure, and off-tool samples are expected within the next month.

A stand-out feature of the Xped gateway is its built-in battery backup functionality allowing it to operate for up to 90 minutes even when power has failed in the home. This allows users to continue to control key battery-powered devices such as alarms and/or locks, and for the gateway to detect security conditions and send notifications to the owner's phone.

The SH2 Gateway supports Xped's ADRC products and Z-Wave devices and is currently capable of supporting devices from several manufacturers, including Xped's own DiscoverBus devices. Products in a number of price ranges have been tested and certified as compatible devices including the following categories:
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
- Door and window sensors
- Motion sensors                    - Glass break sensors    
- Water leak sensors                - Smoke detectors              
- Temperature / humidity sensors    - Carbon monoxide sensors     
- Combustible gas sensors           - IR blasters   
- Multi-sensors (motion, temperature, humidity, lux, UV) 
- IP cameras - indoor               - IP cameras - outdoor 
- Panic buttons               
- Light switches (single and multi-gang) 
- Curtain, blind and garage door motor-controllers  
- Smart LED bulbs 
--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A full deployment of Xped's smart home system in a residential home has been setup to gather valuable user experience feedback as the company prepares to place the system into full production deployments.

On the back of successful testing and completion of production testing, Xped plans to offer its SH2 Gateway in a smart home starter kit initially to its shareholders, and then to the general market via e-commerce channels.

Smart building solution delivery

Xped has delivered to Vital Xense (a Singapore-based company 35% owned by Xped) a modular multi-slot hub and node solution to address the smart building management market. The solution was jointly developed between Xped and Vital Xense and aims to provide solutions to businesses intending to adopt smart building management technologies in their new and existing buildings. As announced on 31 January 2018, Vital Xense and its partners were awarded a government grant of SG $2.3 million to fund development of their smart building and data centre management system to the pre-production stage. Witness testing of the solution was passed, and all grant conditions have been met, with Vital Xense now demonstrating the products to potential customers. Vital Xense has now been awarded a SG $500,000 from this grant to purchase and progressively install this system into a Singapore-based data centre over a 36 month project duration. The first deployment will consist of high accuracy temperature and humidity sensors, CO2 and barometric pressure sensors and industrial actuator controls for computer room air handlers (CRAH) with a focus on the monitoring and management of the data centre cooling operations.

Xped has also developed a fully functional battery monitoring solution for Vital Xense. This product has been designed to monitor large battery arrays typically found in data centres, telecommunications exchanges and other industrial situations. The system monitors battery voltage, temperature and charge/discharge currents of an array of batteries and will be able to provide up to 20 different power parameters typically used to monitor the health and performance of battery strings. Up to 50 batteries can be monitored by a single sensor hub, making it a highly efficient and economical solution for large-scale battery monitoring. A system can consist of multiple hubs, allowing it to cater for the thousands of batteries typically found in a data centre setting. Xped is in the process of manufacturing a pre-production run of the product to enable both Vital Xense and Xped to demonstrate the solution to prospective customers. Vital Xense and their partners have received a SG $100,000 grant to purchase and deploy the product into an industrial setting.

IOT cyber security system delivered

As announced on 19 December 2017, Xped entered into a binding term sheet agreement with Heuresy LLC ("Heuresy) on the 29th of October to expand the use of its ADRC technologies and its mobile application into the cyber security sector. Xped has now delivered the first proof of concept demonstration of the cyber security system to Heuresy, with the solution consisting of an Xped SH2 Gateway, a NitroKey secure encryption device, and a demonstration mobile application. The solution is being used to demonstrate highly secure "2 factor" authentication for IOT and business applications, such that any outbound data from devices or text-based communications passing through the Xped SH2 Gateway can be encrypted, and any inbound data can be decrypted and then viewed within the Xped mobile application. This solution is now available for demonstration to prospective customers in the United States by Heuresy.

Lenze iPark

Lenze has not delivered to date on the sales volumes it forecast to Xped. The company will update the market if the situation changes materially.

Smart home customer experience demos deployed

Xped engineers have deployed smart home demonstrations in showrooms for both a leading Asian telecommunications company and a south-east Asian property developer recently. Both demonstrations are deployed within purpose-built mock apartments, with one having been demonstrated to both the telecommunication company's CEO and the Prime Minister of the country in which the company is based. This first demonstration centre is targeted at customers and partners of the telecommunications company, with the other being targeted at partners and potential customers of the property developer's numerous projects.

Update on production delivery

Xped's Platform is progressing rapidly towards production for both smart home and smart building verticals. The Company recognises there have been considerable delays in progressing this technology which can be attributed to a number of factors. There have been two critical pivots in our business plan that have affected engineering development. Our original plan for smart home was to license and sell ADRC firmware to silicon vendors. In this model, Xped provided the cloud, app and gateway parts of the system and the silicon vendor sold chips containing ADRC firmware to device manufacturers. To this end, the Company announced MOUs with ST Microelectronics, Telink Semiconductor and Intel as partners. This approach proved to be unsuccessful.

A decision was made to integrate ADRC technologies into the Intel SHDAP IoT platform which was considered to be a leading IoT platform providing access to popular third party devices based on ZigBee and Z-Wave technologies. Unfortunately, nine months into this major development, Intel decided to abandon SHDAP which left Xped with a critical decision to make; license SHDAP and continue using it or abandon it.

The Company made the decision to integrate Z-Wave technology directly into our Platform. ZWave is arguably the leading smart home technology with over 600 manufacturers and 1,900 devices readily available. So after a nine month setback, our dedicated engineering team has been able deliver both the hardware and software needed with amazing speed. The SH2 Gateway is able to work with Z-Wave devices and most importantly, with native ADRC devices. This gives Xped the ability to win customers who want a smart home based on the popular Z-Wave system and then subsequently offer them ADRC devices as superior and easier to use alternatives.

On a final note, we would like to thank all shareholders who have invested in the company and particularly those who have stayed with us through what have been unfortunately longer than anticipated research and development time frames. There have been many challenges along the way, however we are now able to say that we are in the final stages of the development cycle and expect to receive orders for production product in the near future.
