CANADA-- Pure Energy Visions Corporation (PEV - TSX Venture), the leading
Canadian developer of energy storage technologies for the international
battery and fuel cell markets, provided today a business update on its
recent activities and those of its wholly owned subsidiary Pure Energy
Visions Inc. ("Pure Energy").
The number of opportunities facing
the Corporation at this time has prompted this update on several major
initiatives. Due to the nature of some of these negotiations some specific
names have been omitted at the request of the parties involved.
During the month of December Pure
Energy entered into discussions with three large international battery
companies for the purchase and sale of its Rechargeable Alkaline battery
products. Distribution would include sales in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Pure Energy hopes to conclude agreements in the near future.
In the past two weeks the Corporation
has been approached by two companies regarding possible strategic alliances.
These companies have complimentary technologies that can benefit from Rechargeable
Alkaline batteries. Furthermore, these technologies would compete
in separate, multi-billion dollar market segments not covered by the Corporations
current products including lap top computers, cellular phones, and power
tools. Discussions with both companies are ongoing.
This fall Pure Energy has been in
discussion with a number of European retailers as part of its new international
sales initiatives. It has now received a purchase order for a spring
2007 promotion and is working on several other opportunities. The
retailer is one of the leading European building centres and do-it-yourself
stores. In this category they rank in the top 3 in Europe and top 5 in
the world. Product will be sold under private label and will include
Rechargeable Alkaline batteries and Pure Energy's new micro processor controlled
Smart Charger.
Pure Energy has been very successful
in Canada marketing its rechargeable alkaline batteries in 1200 retail
outlets. Using its experience in Canada Pure Energy has established a US
commissioned sales force with a manager and a growing network of regional
representatives. As a result we are now in discussion with a number of
retailers in the US representing close to 20,000 retail outlets. Pure Energy
has been very encouraged with its meetings with these and other retailers
and anticipates receiving several orders early in 2007.
In China Pure Energy's XL batteries
have recently passed final testing with TCL Communications Co. Ltd. (TCL),
for TCL's Caller ID phone. This past week TCL has chosen a phone model
to proceed with for commercialization. Pure Energy anticipates that this
application will require several million batteries annually. Pure
Energy has also been supplying batteries to several other original equipment
manufactures (OEMs). This includes one large international consumer electronic
company who has requested quotes in relation to several different OEM products,
each of which if successful would result in the sale of several million
batteries. In addition the US Army is evaluating Rechargeable Alkaline
as a replacement for its single-use alkaline batteries.
Further to the Corporation's recent
signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian Institute of Technology,
Kanpur (IIT), IIT is preparing a US$30 million funding proposal to the
Indian government Department of Science and Technology to establish an
entirely new facility initially focused on the development of a commercial
prototype of the Corporations proprietary Direct Methanol Fuel Cell (DMFC).
The proposal will be submitted in January 2007 and IIT anticipates that
funding will be approved in the first quarter of 2007.
Also in India the Corporation has
narrowed its field of potential partners to two companies that both wish
to market the Pure Energy line of batteries to consumer and OEM segments
within India and its African and Middle East trading partners. In
addition to marketing batteries this partnership will work on the commercialization
of the DMFC technology.
