#Solar #Stock News: SinglePoint (OTCQB: $SING) Subsidiary Direct Solar America Continues Rapid Growth as New 2020 Initiatives Start to Take Shape; @_Singlepoint_

PHOENIX, AZ - February 5, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) is pleased to announce subsidiary, Direct Solar America, continues to drive new business as 2020 sales and marketing initiatives start to take shape. Last week Direct Solar America experienced that increase in business having one of its biggest weeks to date in new contract development. The increase is mainly attributed to new marketing and sales development including new canvassing teams starting, customer service improvements as well as partnership channels increasing engagement.

Read this news featuring SING in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/SING/news/2020/02051DirectSolarAmerica.asp

"We are strongly committed to continuing the development and improvement of Direct Solar America. The company's model continues to impress us by the ability to scale with few constraints into new markets. As we continue to see states rolling out incentives, we are able to act quickly and assess the market viability in order to decide whether to roll out teams in that area. Solar continues to be a driving factor and hot topic in the media, which I believe has resulted in the company expanding as rapidly as the company has. Direct Solar America, as a stand alone entity, eclipsed $2,000,000 in revenue in just 6 months of business," states Greg Lambrecht, CEO.

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has declared the 2020s the Solar+ Decade. President and CEO Abigial Ross Hopper states, "The 2010s were filled with more highs than lows, and the solar industry is in a strong position to become the leading source of new energy generation this decade ...Working in collaboration with other clean energy technologies, including storage, solar will lead a clean energy economic boom while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

According to the U.S. Solar Market Insight Report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), in Q1 2019, the U.S. solar market surpassed 2 million installations - just three years after the market surpassed the 1 million-installation milestone. The industry is expected to hit 3 million installations in 2021 and 4 million installations in 2023. This is a result of increased demand by consumers due to reduced installation costs as well as increasing environmental awareness which is driving the adoption of cost-efficient alternative and renewable forms of energy over conventional energy sources.

#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) / Energetika 'Citizen Safety' Program Makes Cuajimalpa Safest County in Mexico City; @vsbltyco

#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) / Energetika 'Citizen Safety' Program Makes Cuajimalpa Safest County in Mexico City; @vsbltyco

Philadelphia, PA - February 5, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (CSE: VSBY) (5VS.F) (VSBGF) ('VSBLTY'), a leading retail software and technology company, and Energetika, an international provider of "intelligent lighting" solutions, are achieving outstanding results in making Mexico City communities much safer. The firms are installing thousands of security kits, powered by VSBLTY software, in the initial phase of the $10 million investment Mexico City is making in its safety lighting and integrated security program. The Mexican capital was designated as a "Smart City" in 2016 in recognition of its achievement in adapting to environmental and economic conditions and keeping them sustainable.

Read this news featuring VSBLTY in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/VSBY/news/2020/02051Energetika-CitizenSafetyProgram.asp

Adrian Ruvalcaba, Mayor of Cuajimalpa County, reported that after the installation of the security kits, his community has become the safest county in Mexico City. "We have gone from the 11th Safest to Number One during 2019. The single major contributor to this change is the camera network that is not even fully installed yet," the Mayor said. Neighboring Cuauhtemoc County reported a 40 percent reduction of crime in the first year of the installation of Energetika's lighting infrastructure and VSBLTY's AI-inspired video analytics.

Energetika's security kit is a first of its kind "Citizen Safety" application and infrastructure program that includes outdoor mounted HD cameras, high intensity lighting, motion sensors and audible alarms. The technology also provides facial recognition and real time video analytics for crowd behavior. This low-cost system runs off local citizens' internet service and is accessible on mobile devices in real time and includes an alerting system to enable direct local uniformed police response. The mobile application also permits content sharing for neighborhood watch and a panic button.

Energetika CEO Rodrigo Calderon said, "We are just in phase one deployment of security kits covering up to 40,000 endpoints throughout 56 Mexico City communities. We started last January in Miguel Hidalgo, Cuajimalpa, Cuauhtemoc and Benito Juarez," he explained.

"With this unique security kit deployment model perfected, we are hosting other Central and South American municipalities who wish to learn more about this program to improve citizen safety. We are projecting that this cost-efficient solution may be installed in three million security cameras or more in Latin America alone," Calderon predicted.

Energetika, when contracted to provide smart lighting solutions for economically efficient applications that incorporate security, chose VSBLTY to provide security technology that includes crowd analytics and facial recognition for residential, commercial and governmental applications.

VSBLTY CEO Jay Hutton said of the progress to date, "We are excited to see the amazing early safety results of this deployment. It is setting the standard for collaborative security where citizens, law enforcement and technology work together to achieve a higher level of security. This Smart City deployment extends the reach of the security umbrella to residences and provides citizen access to city services right on individuals' mobile devices. We look forward to collaborating on future deployments that will provide the next generation of public safety applications including tracking persons of interest, weapon detection, as well as vehicle and crowd analytics using the power of machine learning and computer vision," he said.

#Security #Stock A2Z Technologies (TSXV: $AZ.V) Reports Contract with Nasdaq-Listed Israel #Defense #Technology Company; @A2Z_Advanced

#Security #Stock A2Z Technologies (TSXV: $AZ.V) Reports Contract with Nasdaq-Listed Israel #Defense #Technology Company; @A2Z_Advanced

VANCOUVER, BC - February 5, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) A2Z Technologies Canada Corp. ("A2Z" or the "Company") (TSXV: AZ) announced today that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, A2Z MS Military Solutions, Ltd., has been awarded a contract with an Israel-based, NASDAQ-listed defense technology company (the "Client").

Read this news featuring A2Z Tech in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2020/defense/02051A2ZTechnologies-Contract-Nasdaq-IsraelDefenseTechnologyCompany.asp

A2Z has been contracted by the Client to perform electrical safety checks as well as other service functions across the Client's facilities. The Company will also approve of the quality and safety of their electrical systems. The ongoing contract is priced on a variable-basis, with A2Z's revenues being determined by the degree and frequency of service that the Client requires. The Company expects to generate meaningful revenues over the life of the contract.

In the coming years A2Z anticipates that this contract will provide variable recurring revenues while further deepening the Company's relationship with one of their significant peers in the defense-technology space. This new contract represents further growth in A2Z's service-based military-technology business.

"We are very pleased to have been given this opportunity," stated Bentsur Joseph, Founder and CEO of A2Z. "This contract brings more than just revenue, as it shows the tremendous respect leading defense technology vendors have for A2Z's knowledge and capabilities while adding to our growing list of prestigious clients. The safety of employees and sophisticated systems of this major high technology conglomerate is essentially being entrusted to A2Z's capable hands and we intend to further capitalize on this contract as our relationship grows."

About A2Z

A2Z Technologies Canada Corp. is an innovative technology company based out of Israel, specializing in military technology and expanding into the civilian markets. A2Z has been operating for over 30 years and has a client base with 75 recurring clients, including the Israel Defense Forces, Security Forces, and Ministry of Defense among others. A2Z plans to leverage their cash flow-generating core-business to expand into the civilian robotics and automobile markets.

According to Zion Market Research, the Military Robotics space is expected to reach $53.93B by 2027 for a projected CAGR of 13.5%. (Summary of Report)

Highlights:

Core Business: A2Z's line of products include unmanned remote-controlled vehicles of various sizes designed for intricate bomb disposal, counter terrorism, and firefighting, as well as energy storage power packs/generators. A2Z also provides maintenance services to both external and in-house complex electronic systems and products to over 75 clients.

A2Z has been an Israel Ministry of Defense contractor for over 30 years and a significant portion of its business is long-term service contracts.

Expansion into Civilian Markets: To drive growth, A2Z plans to adapt its military technologies for the much larger civilian markets. One patent-pending product is a capsule (FTICS) that prevents vehicle fires resulting from collisions. A2Z has also been granted a patent for a smart vehicle cover device that protects automobiles from natural elements while the vehicle is parked and is stowed away safely in the vehicle's bumper when not in use.

Fuel Tank Intelligent Containment System (FTICS): In the event of a collision, the FTICS installed into the fuel tank prevents the ignition of fuel, thereby mitigating the spread of fire and explosion, minimizing risk to human life and property damage. According to the NFPA, from 2014 to 2016, an estimated 171,500 highway vehicle fires occurred in the United States, resulting in an annual average of 345 deaths, 1,300 injuries, and $1.1 billion in property loss annually.

Management: CEO Bentsur Joseph's previous venture, Comfy Interactive, was acquired by Shamrock Holdings, the family investment firm founded by Roy Disney. Previously, Bentsur Joseph was the chairman of Elad Hotels whose holdings include the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Bentsur Joseph has a ~64% ownership stake in the business with 30,000,000 shares subject to an escrow agreement.

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, February 4, 2019 Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering mining and metals stocks releases today’s edition of Exploring Mining Podcast, featuring stock news from TSX, TSXV ,CSE, ASX, NASDAQ, NYSE  companies plus interviews with CEO's and leading experts.

Alcoa Corporation (NYSE:AA) has completed the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Elemental Environmental Solutions LLC (EES), which “operates a 1,300-acre hazardous waste treatment business in Gum Springs, Arkansas.” The buyer is to Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC (VTS). According to the press release, the sale “is part of the Company’s plan to pursue sales of non-core assets with the goal of generating between $500 million to $1 billion in cash.”

Perhaps as a consequence of this news, Alcoa stock is up about 3.5 percent at press time.

Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (NYSE:ATI) has reported its fourth quarter results for 2019, boasting “sales of $1.02 billion and net income attributable to ATI of $56.5 million, or $0.41 per share.” Another quarterly highlight outlined in the report is the “$491 million of cash on hand at year-end after reducing debt by $150 million.” Though quarterly sales are down some two percent from 2018, full year sales of $4.12 billion are actually up two percent over 2018. Robert S. Wetherbee, ATI President and CEO, commented:

"The team executed well in the fourth quarter, delivering solid results in both operating segments, and successfully capping a challenging year buffeted by industry, supply chain and regulatory headwinds.”

Allegheny’s stock is up around nine percent at press time, following the release of these results.

Excelsior Mining Corp. (TSX:MIN) has provided an update of mining operations at the Gunnison Copper Project in Southern Arizona. The following updates were reported in the press release:

●     Improved preventative maintenance to limit pump and wellfield down-time; and

●     Injection wells will be retrofitted with pumps allowing them to be used as recovery wells when needed; and

●     Wellheads and related piping are to be reconfigured to allow for both injection and recovery operations in each well, this addition will make the wellfield entirely reversable in terms of fluid flow; thereby allowing for greater flexibility during operations.

Excelsior President & CEO, Stephen Twyerould, commented:

"Our initial copper recoveries are highly encouraging; and the implementation of these improvement programs keeps us focused on achieving long-term, low-cost copper production as soon as possible."

Despite these developments, Excelsior stock is actually down about nine percent at press time. This may be related to the downtrend in copper price witnessed in the few weeks. According to data from Markets Insider, copper went from trading at $6,300/tonne on January 16, 2020 to a current price of $5,616/tonne.

Lithium Chile Inc. (TSXV:LITH) has completed drilling of the first target on its Turi prospect with samples having been sent to ALS laboratory for analysis. The company has shut down its rig while it waits for results to come back. Additionally, the company has revealed “results from a recently concluded program of re-analysis of surface salt rich, silt and clay samples from the Company's Laguna Blanca prospect have returned unusually high assays for Rare Earth Elements, especially Cesium.” Lithium Chile President and CEO, Steve Cochrane, commented:

"The presence of Cesium on our Laguna Blanca prospect adds another potentially valuable mineral in addition to interesting lithium values. We continue to build a portfolio with diverse opportunities over a range of elements."

At press time, Lithium Chile stock is enjoying growth of about 9.5 percent.
