I still own shares...these guys are making the changes needed and have recalled the engineers and maintenance employees to work.

I believe they have turned the corner. Just bought more stock.

You’re not the only one, but it seems like we’re hanging on by a wing and a prayer rather than on any detailed info on the likelihood of operations moving forward.

am I the only one that still owns this thing, does any one have any info??

Orbite Provides Corporate Update
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 31, 2017) - Orbite Technologies Inc. (NEX:ORT.H) ("Orbite" or the "Company") today provided an update on its continuing efforts to emerge from insolvency protection for the benefit all of its stakeholders.

CCAA Court extends the Stay Period and approves the release of the remaining $2 million of the DIP Financing

As announced on August 2, 2017, the Superior Court of Quebec (the "CCAA Court") issued a second amended and restated initial order pursuant to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act ("CCAA") providing for a stay of all proceedings until October 31, 2017 (the "Stay Period"). On October 30, the CCAA Court granted a motion filed by the Company and issued the following orders:

-- extending the Stay Period until January 31, 2018;


-- relieving Orbite from its obligation to call the annual meeting of
shareholders on or before January 31, 2018 and directing Orbite to call
such annual meeting, as the case may be, by April 27, 2018;


-- establishing a claims procedure for claims against the Company; and


-- directing PricewaterhouseCoopers, to release the balance of the Debtor
in Possession ("DIP") financing representing an amount of $2,037,666, to
be used by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the DIP financing and the August 1, 2017 court order.

Based on the cashflow projections filed by Orbite with the CCAA Court, the Company expects to have liquidities until the week of April 22, 2018 taking into account the released balance. Accordingly, the Company believes that such orders will be beneficial to all stakeholders by giving it the required time and resources to emerge from CCAA protection.

There can be no guarantees that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts or will emerge from CCAA protection.

Update on the Calcination Equipment

Orbite and the calcination equipment supplier's technical teams continued to work very closely to resolve the issues with the calcination equipment.

-- An extensive root causes analysis was conducted and is now complete. The
different causes contributing to the failures of the electric heating
system have been identified and confirmed;


-- The solution to the heating system failure issues has been identified,
modeled, and evaluated and is now entering the detailed engineering
phase, by the equipment supplier;


-- Solutions to the other issues identified are mostly finalized and are
into the detailed engineering phase, also carried out by the equipment
supplier.

The initial diagnostic phase carried out by the equipment supplier took longer than it originally planed, consequently, production activities are expected to commence in the latter part of Q1 2018, subject to raising adequate financing and implementing the contemplated supplier-related solutions.

The Company will provide further updates as developments occur.

I'm not sure, but this the latest from their website.

Orbite HPA Plant Update
Production sequence progressing as planned
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct. 3, 2016) - Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite", or the "Company") today announced that, further to its press release of September 30, 2016, production activities continue as planned at its high purity alumina ("HPA") plant.
-- The first batch of feedstock digestion commenced on September 30 and was
followed by a second batch, as planned.
-- The first batches of liquor, produced in the digestion circuit, were
transferred to the crystallisation circuit for commencement of
production of the first batch of aluminum chloride hexahydrate ("ACH")
crystals. ACH crystals are the precursor to high purity alumina ("HPA").
-- As disclosed, each full digestion and crystallisation batch cycle will
initially take approximately 3.5 days to complete. Production will
continue in batch mode in these two circuits while extensive testing
will be carried out on digester liquors and ACH crystals, to ensure
production and purity criteria are met.
-- Once the ACH crystals meet purity criteria, they will be transferred to
the decomposer and calciner circuit for HPA production. Once production
and purity criteria are met in all three circuits, the plant will switch
over to semi-continuous operation mode and commence ramp up to name
plate capacity.

"First results for digestion are positive and crystallisation is also progressing well," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "We will continue batch production in both these circuits and anticipate production times to come down as we increase purity and quality. We will report on progression as we build up data from the various tests on our batch cycles."

All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise.

Highlights - Second Quarter and Subsequent Events

Corporate & Financing

-- During the quarter, the Company completed financings for an aggregate
amount of $16 million. The funds raised enabled the Company to award the ontracts towards the completion of Orbite's High Purity Alumina (HPA)
plant and reaccelerate construction as described below.

-- On May 12th, 2016, the Company announced the appointment of Charles
Taschereau Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

HPA Plant Construction

-- Fjordtech Industries Inc., who was awarded the contract for the
remaining piping mechanical work, commenced work during the week of July 4th, and is proceeding as planned. Installation of the piping for the plant's cooling water system was completed on schedule, and Fjordtech is now concentrating on the crystallization sector piping installation, to be followed by installation of the piping for the digestion sector.

-- The contract for the remaining electrical and instrumentation work,
awarded to Electro Kingsey who commenced work on July 11th, is also
proceeding as per schedule and is being completed concurrently with the
completion of the piping installation by Fjordtech. Installation of
electrical and instrumentation was also completed for the cooling water
system. Work will now proceed in the crystallization and digestion
sectors of the plant.

-- Both contracts are being carried out on a fixed-price basis with penalty
provisions for late delivery, and stipulate an 8 week project timeline,
with work continuing over the present construction holidays. The
contracts respect the revised project budget.

-- Isolation Morissette has completed the insulation work on the steam
piping and the calcination system (decomposer & calciner), also under a
fixed price contract. Insulation work is now 75% complete.

-- All other construction is complete (civil and structural, major
mechanical installation, decomposer and calciner installation), or
materially complete (ventilation).

Commissioning & Start-up

-- As reported on June 21st, commissioning and cold start-up activities of
the decomposer and calciner units were completed successfully.

-- Additional cold testing was successfully conducted over the last few
weeks. Alumina product (SGA) was successfully fluidized in both
reactors, and up to 5 tonnes per day was successfully transferred from
the decomposer to the calciner via the sealpot assembly system. Control
and stability over the transfer of material through the seal pot was
tested, and the sealing of the toric discharge device was verified.

-- Commissioning and start-up of the cooling water system is commencing and
will be completed by August 1st.

-- Field service personnel from Outotec (decomposer and calciner) and
Sandvik (calciner system heating elements) will be mobilizing on site
the week of August 1st, to commence commissioning and startup of the
steam superheater and the heating elements in the calciner and
decomposer. Initial heating up of the decomposer and calciner is
forecast for mid-August.

Management commentary

"Following the completion of our financing with Investissement Quebec, we were able to reaccelerate construction work at our HPA plant," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "Work is progressing on schedule and on budget to meet the timeline communicated to shareholders previously, while commissioning activities continue to meet expectations. Consequently, we reiterate our expectation of commencing commercial production in Q3 of this year."

Continued highlights

Monetization, and magnesium extraction and recovery.

-- Coverage was expanded in the U.S., Russia, Australia, Japan and Canada.

Summary of Q2 2016 Financial Results

Revenues and earnings

The Company is a development stage company and has no revenues.

Net loss for Q2 2016 decreased by $1.8 million to $1.9 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net loss during the quarter is principally due to proceeds received or receivable from the insurance claim for a 2014 incident at the HPA plant, resulting in a positive change in Other Income of $1.0 million, as well as a $0.5 million reduction in general and administrative expense.

HPA plant operations

HPA plant operations include administration, operating and maintenance costs for the HPA plant in Cap-Chat. HPA plant operation expenses remained relatively stable at $1.1 million during the quarter ended June 30th, 2016 compared to the second quarter in 2015.

General and administrative charges

General and administration charges consist mostly of personnel related costs (salaries and benefits), share-based payment expenses, consulting, accounting, business development, legal, and investor relation costs relating to head office activities. General and administrative charges decreased by $0.5 million during the quarter compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease is due mainly to a decrease in salaries, share-based payments, investor relations and communication, partially offset by an increase in consulting and professional fees.

Financial position

Cash and short-term investments and working capital

As at June 30th, 2016, the Company had aggregate cash and short-term investments balance of $5.6 million, and positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $6.4 million.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company drew the remaining $2.1 million on the $4.9 million 2016 IQ bridge loan. As a result, the Company has, on a pro-forma basis, cash and short-term investments of $7.7 million.

Financing activities

-- On May 5th, 2016, the Company concluded a $4.9 million bridge loan with
IQ, collateralized against the Company's investment tax credits
receivable ("ITC") for the 2016 financial year which are expected to
total $6.5 million.

-- On May 6th, 2016, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement
totaling $1.0 million.

-- On May 11th and June 27th, 2016, the Company received payments totaling
$3.6 million from tax authorities in Quebec for 2014 investment tax
credits ("ITC"), used to pay down a portion of the Company's revolving
credit facility and term loan A on a prorated basis.

-- On May 19th, 2016, the Company completed an equity financing in the
amount of $5 million with Ressources Quebec inc. ("Ressources Quebec"),
a subsidiary of IQ.

-- On June 1st, the Company completed a $5.0 million debt financing with
IQ.

A more comprehensive description of the Company's financing activities is provided in the Company's MD&A and other filings on www.sedar.com.

Property, plant, and equipment

The Company recorded a net increase in Property, plant, and equipment ("PP&E") of $11.9 million in the first six months of 2016 compared to December 31st, 2015, mainly attributable to investment in the HPA plant.

Cash Flow Statement

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities remained stable at $4.3 million. An increase in Other Income and lower General and Administrative expense were offset by a decrease in non-cash working capital items.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities in Q2 2016 decreased by $3.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease is due mainly to lower proceeds received from the issuance of Convertible debentures partially offset by the issuance of shares, warrantsand the exercise of options.

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $3.8 million. During the quarter, the Company focused on raising the funds required to complete its HPA facility. During this period, the Company had de-mobilized external contractors on site and generally reduced construction activities to preserve working capital.

• ASGR is also presently completing various internal modifications to the structure as well as
the installation of equipment and personnel platforms.
Ventilation and Insulation
• The bid evaluation process for supply and installation of insulation on calcination equipment
and high temperature piping and vessels and for the installation of a new ventilation system is
complete. The Company is negotiating final contractual agreements with the selected
contractors and installation will begin in August.
Procurement, Schedule and Budget
• Delivery dates for the majority of critical long lead items continue to be respected by suppliers.
• Orbite anticipates commencement of commissioning in Q3 2015, and the start of commercial
production in Q4 2015.
• The project is tracking on budget.
Operational Readiness
• Operating personnel have completed a 40-module operations training program, representing
approximately 275 training hours per person to date. Practical operations training commenced
in late June and will continue through commissioning and start-up.
• Health and Safety and Emergency Response Plans for continuous operations have been
completed and continue to be implemented.
• Commissioning and start-up procedures continue to be finalized by project and operations
personnel.
Samples Production Update
Feedback on purity and chemical composition of samples sent to date is positive. Prospective
customers would also like to test HPA that is more representative of full-scale, commercial
production, notably relative to mechanical properties.
Orbite subsequently modified its existing calcination equipment and process to mimic more
closely the new permanent setup. New samples were produced at Cap-Chat, and are now
undergoing final calcination. These new samples are even more representative of the Company’s
intended final products and are to ship late August-early September.
Furthermore, following the start-up and commissioning of the milling equipment at Cap-Chat, to
be carried out in August, Orbite intends to prepare additional samples meeting certain specific
potential customer requirements relative to particle size and distribution. These samples are
expected to ship in October.
“We are making steady progress towards the completion of our HPA plant,” stated Glenn Kelly,
CEO of Orbite. “The work on our calcination system is materially done, and we are now working
on the auxiliary systems to integrate the calcination system with the rest of the plant. We are on
the home stretch now, with the finishing line in sight. Modifying our existing calcination system,
though time consuming, has enabled us to accelerate the qualification process with a number of
potential customers. The fact that we have been invited to supply additional samples, more
representative of what we anticipate to be our output once HPA2 is operational, validates our
assumptions that there is demand in the market place for suppliers who are able to provide a
consistent supply of high-grade HPA.”
“During the quarter we made further progress towards shoring up our capital structure and
continue to pursue funding that will have the least dilutive impact on our shareholder base. We
are confident of concluding the funding required to complete our plant and the period beyond,
when we can start focusing on our existence as a commercial, revenue generating entity, and
accelerate our waste monetization strategy.”
Summary of Q2 2015 Financial Results
Revenues and earnings
The Company is a development stage company and has no revenues.
Net loss for Q2 2015 decreased by $0.55 million to $3.7 million, or from $0.02 per share to $0.01
per share, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net loss was due
primarily to a reduction in financing costs and other expense, offset partially by an increase in
HPA plant operating expenses, reflecting increased activity at the Company’s HPA facility.
Net loss for the six months ending June 30, 2015 fell by $2.3 million to $6.4 million, as compared
to the same period in 2014. The reduction in net loss was attributable mainly to a $1 million
reduction in General and Administrative expense and a reduction in financing costs and other
expense.
Financial position
Cash and short-term investments
As at June 30, 2015, the Company had aggregate cash and short-term investments balance of
$4.1 million, and positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $8.5 million.
Investment tax credits and other government assistance receivable
Investment tax credits and other government assistance receivable increased by $2.3 million
during the six-month period compared to December 31, 2014. The increase is mainly due to the
recognition of the 2015 investment tax credits, receivable on the equipment purchased for
manufacturing and processing in the Gaspé region.
Restricted cash
Restricted cash increased by $6.1 million during the first six months of 2015, compared to
December 31, 2014. These funds represent a portion of the refundable 2012 and 2013
investment tax credits, as well as the interest earned on such deposits, in a segregated account,
which serves as security for the 2012 convertible debentures. These funds will be released to the
Company according to the terms of the trust indenture agreement.
Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) increased by $6.9 million in the first six months of 2015
compared to December 31, 2014. The net increase results from $9.3 million, before investment
tax credits, invested in PP&E, partially offset by $2.3 million investment tax credits.
Short-term loan
Short term loan increased by $3.0 million during 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 due to
the receipt of the $3.0 million loan from Investissement Québec.
Cash Flow Statement
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows used in operating activities increased by $1.0 million during the quarter ended June
30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014, and decreased by $0.8 million during the first six
months of 2015, as compared to the same period in 2014. Cash flows used for operations, which
is cash flows used in operating activities, adjusted for certain non-cash working capital items and
net interest payments, decreased by $0.1 million and by $0.5 million for the quarter and the six
month-period ended June 30, 2015 respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014, while
cash flows used in non-cash working capital items increased by $1.1 million during the quarter
ended June 30, 2015, and decreased by $0.2 million for the six months ended June, 2015 as
compared to the same period of 2014.
The decreases in cash flows used for operations during the quarter and six-month period ended
June 30, 2015, are due mainly to a reduction in general and administrative expenses. The
increase in non-cash working capital items during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, is principally
due to investment tax credits and other governmental assistance receivable recognized during
the period.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities increased by $2.9 million and by $2.0 million during the
quarter and the first six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 2014. The increase for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the
same period in 2014 is due mainly to the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2015 convertible
debentures and short-term debt from Investissement Québec, partially offset by lower proceeds
from issuance of shares, warrants, exercise of options, and long-term debt.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $3.8 million and by $0.8 million during the
quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, mainly due to increased
investments in the Company’s HPA plant construction.
Capital Resources
In order to finance ongoing construction and subsequent commissioning of its HPA plant, the
Company closed a $10 million bought deal on April 6, 2015 and an additional $5 million on May 6,
2015.
On June 19, 2015 Orbite entered into a loan agreement with Investissement Québec for up to
$5.0 million, collateralized against the Company’s investment tax credits to be received for fiscal
2015, which the Company’s tax advisors estimate at $7.5 million. This is in addition to the $3.0
million loan agreement entered into with Investissement Québec on January 13, 2015, and
collateralized against the Company’s 2014 investment tax credits. As of July 30, 2015, $6.7
million had been drawn from the available aggregate of $8.03 million.
Finally, with the receipt of a $2.7 million instalment related to the Company’s investment tax
credits for the fiscal years 2012 and 2013, the Company has a total of $25 million, as restricted
cash, pledged against the 2012 convertible debenture.

January 8, 2015 Orbite Receives Notice of Allowance for First Red Mud Monetization Patent

Montreal, Québec, January 8, 2015 – Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX: ORT) (OTCQX: EORBF)
(“Orbite” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office
(“CIPO”) has issued a notice of allowance for patent application No. 2,857,574, pertaining to
Processes for Treating Red Mud. Orbite has paid the requisite fees and expects patent issuance
within CIPO’s usual timeframe of 9 to 12 weeks.
Red mud is the waste product generated by the Bayer process, the industrial process used for
refining bauxite to obtain alumina, the raw material for the electrolytic production of aluminium. A
typical bauxite refinery generates one to two times as much red mud as it does alumina. That
waste is typically stockpiled in open-air tailings ponds, although in some cases it has been
disposed of in the ocean. Red mud represents a long-term environmental liability for the entire
alumina industry. The Orbite process is able to utilize red mud as a feedstock, extracting all of the
valuable constituents, including rare earths and rare metals, alumina, magnesium oxide and
titanium dioxide, while only returning a small fraction of inert material. In this way, the Orbite
process not only contributes to the remediation of an environmental problem, but turns a liability
into an asset.
Furthermore, the Company has recently received notification that CIPO has granted and issued
Canadian patent 2,812,309 titled Process for Extracting Aluminum from Aluminous Ores. This
patent, and the one related to Red Mud, once granted, will give Orbite exclusivity for the use of
these inventions for a period of twenty (20) years following their respective filing date.
“The uniqueness of the Orbite Process is clearly validated by our growing portfolio of intellectual
property rights,” stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. “Consequently, we are well positioned to
advance our efforts to commercialize this breakthrough technology, and help convert
continuously growing stockpiles of environmental liabilities into valuable assets.”

Nice rise so far today on the patent news.

Wonder if Crede will sell more as a response to blunt the sp rise?

Be nice to see it at least stay in the 30's and work its' way upward.

Any thoughts out there on the odds that Crede will get the Series Y or that Orbite can find other and non-dilutionary financing?

believe you're right. hope it stays in this range a little longer.

I am not sure burnt work with a few people who bought in at $2,50.

I just bought some yesterday at $0.26. ORT.TO. If it keeps falling, I will keep buying.

This company has everything including the government's pocket.

They are almost ready and as soon as they start producing, we will have this thing shoot like a rocket.

$ORT.TO $EORBF

It looks like it was up on air and down on air...
It'll be interesting to see what happens when they start processing aluminae waste...
EORBF

Does ORBITE move up on air like it has for the past week.

Someone must have been playing games, but that's fine, they should be announcing news about the plant sooner than later.

Let's see how they do having exclusive patents to process aluminum, do they have an agreement with the Russians....

Orbite has chosen to defer the 10M$ investment under the series X subscription rights. Initially contemplated for May 15th, 2014, the Company anticipates to effect closing no later than mid-July 2014. Upon shareholder approval, the investor will be required to invest a further $30 million of debentures of the Corporation under the series Y subscription rights following completion of the series X investment.
Continued to control its costs and operate within budget estimates.
Cash and Short-Term Investments of $5.3 million as at March 31, 2014. Positive Working Capital of $5.3 million.
Non-current Investment tax credits receivable of $27.3 million.

Cash flows from financing activities of $3.9 million.
Cash flows used for investing activities of $5.3 million.
Shareholders' equity of $89.0 million, up 8.2% from December 31, 2013.
Events Subsequent to the Quarter

Orbite announced the nomination of Mr. Claude Lamoureux as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the appointment of Mr. Glenn Kelly, the Corporation's President and CEO, as a member of the Board.
Orbite ended ongoing discussions and terminated its memorandum of understanding with Rusal UC pertaining to its Smelter Grade Alumina project.
"We continue to execute well against our twelve-month time line towards completion of our HPA production facility, and I am pleased with our progress, which provides increasing visibility on our commercialization," stated Glenn Kelly, Orbite's CEO. "In the past quarter, we accomplished a number of important milestones, such as the ordering of the calcinator from world leader Outotec. We concluded a limited production run, the results of which were positive and in line with our expectations based on work done at our state of the art Technology Development Centre. Other important deliverables, such as detailed engineering, project management, schedule finalization and preparing for equipment ordering and construction are all progressing as planned. Other highlights for the quarter include the $3.8 million non-interest bearing loan received from Canada Economic Development, and the announcement by Investissement Québec that they will be making a $10 million equity investment in the Corporation. Finalization of this funding is anticipated shortly."

Mr. Kelly concluded, "With the funding from the Québec and Federal governments, the Series X subscription rights leading to the anticipated completion of the next $10 million tranche by mid-July, as well as the issuance of the Series Y subscription rights, we are sufficiently capitalized to see us through to commercialization. In the coming months, we will increase our commercial efforts to engage with prospective clients in their supplier qualification processes. I look forward to informing the market on our progress in the coming quarters."

Q1 Operating and Construction Update - HPA Plant

During the 1st quarter of 2014, Orbite advanced its HPA project development with its partners Seneca for detailed engineering, Groupe Alphard for project management and procurement, and with Outotec for the supply of its calcination system for the production of high purity alumina.

At its Technology Development Center ("TDC") in Laval, Québec, the Corporation performed numerous pilot trials in order to define the ideal conditions for the HPA synthesis to optimize product quality, production yields as well as operating costs. It also defined operating parameters for different feedstocks. All these are incorporated in the design basis for the HPA project in Cap-Chat.

At the Cap-Chat HPA facility, the Corporation ran a series of successful trials with two commercial feedstocks for the production of aluminium hexahydrate crystals (precursor of the High Purity Alumina) in order to confirm the optimum design conditions at industrial scale as well as to produce high quality feed material for processing of customer samples for their qualification steps. During one of the production trials at the HPA Cap-Chat facility and as reported during our March 17th Conference Call, an incident occurred on a leaching reactor, which resulted in a water line breakage and an accidental release of a mixture of acid, water and solids. No one was hurt and there will be no material impact on either operations or finances. The release was fully contained within the process building and captured in the waste water containment. The cause of the incident has been ascertained and the damaged equipment is being repaired following thorough inspection. The engineering team is working closely with the insurance companies to minimize costs to the Corporation.

The Corporation also performed calcination trials at pilot centers operated by two suppliers which confirmed processing performance and product quality with both systems. Material produced was fully tested at the TDC. Following a thorough technical and commercial assessment of the two offers, the Corporation entered into a supply agreement with Outotec Oyj and Outotec Canada for the supply of the calcination system and auxiliary equipment. During the quarter, Orbite received a $3.8 million financial contribution from Canada Economic Development that was used to purchase the Outotec calcinator. The balance of $0.2 million remaining will be received in 2015. Process design and safety review have been completed and Outotec has begun production of the three main vessels in its fabrication shop in Burlington, Ontario. The Corporation is presently fine-tuning the process control strategy with Outotec's German engineering team. The Corporation expects to be receiving the first shipment of material from Germany in June, including the refractory, auxiliary equipment and HCl scrubbing systems.

On the engineering front, Seneca is progressing as scheduled with the detailed engineering. The Corporation is planning to initiate procurement for the remainder of the equipment and instrumentation in May. The Corporation also expects to complete very shortly a hazard and operability review ("HAZOP").

Together with its various partners, the Corporation is finalizing the detailed construction schedule and establishing the pre-fabrication and the onsite construction requirements. Preliminary discussions with construction companies will commence shortly, and the tender process will be held for contract awards in June with construction start planned for July.

On March 28, 2012, the Corporation announced the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with UC RUSAL, pursuant to which the parties intended to invest into a joint-venture for the construction and operation of an SGA plant. Despite extensive and lengthy negotiations, the parties were unable to agree on terms satisfactory to Orbite. As a consequence thereof, the Corporation announces it has terminated the MOU.

Although not a short term priority, the Corporation intends initiating discussions with other potential SGA partners, including Glencore with whom the Corporation executed a binding SGA offtake agreement, regarding a joint venture partnership of its contemplated SGA production facility.

Summary of Financial Results

Comprehensive loss

The Corporation is a development stage company and has no revenues.

Loss before net finance income (expense) and income and mining taxes for the first quarter 2014 increased by $571,535 to $3,414,119, compared to $2,842,384 during the same period in 2013. The increase is attributable mainly to higher HPA plant operation expenses since HPA related costs for Q1 2013 were mostly capitalized and not expensed.

Net loss for the first quarter 2014 increased by $3,900,199 to $4,411,167 ($0.02 per share), compared to $510,968 during the same period in 2013. However, this increase is due mainly to a $3,342,900 non-cash mark-to-market increase in fair value of the convertible debentures presented under net finance expense.

Research and development charges

Research and development charges are generally comprised of employee benefit expenses (salaries and social benefits), share-based payments, consultant expenses and material costs for the Corporation's Technology Development Center in Laval. These charges are presented net of government research and development investment tax credits, and other government assistance of $23,400 and $17,600 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Research and development charges increased by $97,652 during the first quarter compared to the same period in 2013 as a result of an increase in salaries, consulting fees and share-based payments.

General and administrative charges

General and administration charges consist mostly of employee benefits (salaries and social benefits), share-based payment expenses, consulting, accounting, business development, legal, and investor relation costs relating to head office activities. General and administrative costs increased by $65,409 during the first quarter compared to the same period in 2013. The increase resulted principally from an increase in share-based payments ($213,386) as well as an accrued severance payment ($166,000), partially offset by decreases in professional fees and a general reduction in expenses resulting from our 2013 cost reduction program.

HPA plant operations

HPA plant operations include administration, care and maintenance costs for the HPA plant in Cap-Chat (Québec) since the pilot plant activities ceased at the end of the second quarter of 2012. Costs incurred at the HPA plant relating directly to the installation of equipment and commissioning of the plant which meet the IFRS criteria for capitalization, are capitalized in property plant and equipment. HPA plant operation expenses increased by $378,378 during the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to additional personnel dedicated to operating activities, whereas HPA related costs were mostly capitalized during the first quarter of 2013.

Other financial gains (losses)

The Corporation recognized a loss of $986,187 during the first quarter compared to a gain of $2,353,769 in the same period of 2013. The loss during the first quarter is mainly due to the non-cash mark-to-market adjustment relating to the 2013 convertible debentures. The gain during the first quarter of 2013 is principally due to the decrease in fair value of the embedded derivative relating to the 2012 convertible debentures conversion option resulting from a decrease in the Corporation's share price.

Financial position

Cash and short-term investments

Cash and short-term investments decreased by $4,972,031 during the first quarter of 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the continued investment in the construction of the HPA plant, research and development, general administration and HPA plant operating expenses. The decrease was partially offset by the $3.8 million financial contribution received from Canada Economic Development.

Property, plant, and equipment

Property, plant, and equipment ("PP&E") increased by $2,028,486 during the first quarter of 2014 compared to December 31, 2013. The net increase resulted from an increase of $5,813,816 before investment tax credits, in the investment in PP&E attributable mainly to the HPA plant, partially offset by $3,711,178 in government grants and refundable investment tax credits on equipment purchases for the HPA plant and the recording of depreciation during the period.

Long-term debt and convertible debentures

Long-term debt (including short-term portion) and convertible debentures increased by $1,752,058 and decreased by $9,514,405 respectively, during the first quarter of 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013. The decrease in convertible debentures results mainly from the exercise of the debenture conversion option by some 2013 debenture holders. The increase in long term-debt is principally due to the receipt of the $3.8 million financial contribution from Canada Economic Development recorded at amortized cost. The loan from Canada Economic Development is non-interest bearing.

Share capital and warrants

Share capital and warrants increased by $10,422,658 mainly due to the issuance of common shares as a result of the conversion of 2013 debentures during the first quarter.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows used in operating activities were $3,551,223 during the first quarter compared to cash inflows of $985,326 during the same period in 2013. Excluding the non-cash working capital items, and interest paid and received, the cash flows used in operations amounted to $2,646,867 in 2014 compared to $2,268,667 in 2013. The increase of $378,200 is mainly the result of the higher HPA plant administration, care and maintenance cost. The cash flows used in the non-cash working capital items during the first quarter amounted to $427,735 compared to inflows of $3,696,264 in 2013. The significant inflow in 2013 was due to significant sales tax reimbursements during the period.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities increased by $3,921,822 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, mainly due to the financial contribution received from Canada Economic Development during the period ended March 31, 2014.

Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $15,946,227 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, mainly due to a reduction in investments in the HPA plant construction and exploration and evaluation assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As at March 31, 2014, the Corporation had aggregate cash and short-term investments balance of $5,307,431 and positive working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $5,273,709.

Repayable financial contribution from Canada Economic Development

On January 30, 2014, Orbite announced it was granted a $4 million non-interest bearing repayable financial contribution from Canada Economic Development ("CED") for Québec regions to be used for the purchase and installation of the alumina calcinator, a key element in Orbite's high purity alumina production facility. Based on the agreement, the Corporation received $3,800,000 in March 2014, with the remaining $200,000 to be received in 2015. The contribution is interest free, repayable in 10 consecutive equal semi-annual installments starting 24 months following completion of the HPA Facility. The Loan is secured by a first ranking movable hypothec against the Corporation's movable assets located on the premises of the Corporation's high purity alumina production facility in Cap-Chat, until such time as the calcination equipment is installed and functional, at which time the loan will be secured exclusively by such calcination equipment. In 2010 and 2011 the Corporation received unsecured loans totalling $800,000 from CED, whose maturity was deferred until April 1st, 2016. This loan is also being secured by a first ranking movable hypothec against the Corporation's movable assets located on the premises of the Cap-Chat Facility, until such time as the calcination equipment is installed and functional, at which time the Loan will be secured exclusively by such calcination equipment.

The Corporation intends to complete the financing of the construction and commissioning of the HPA plant through the following sources of funds:

Equity investment from Investissement Québec

On March 3, 2014, the Corporation announced that the Government of Québec formally approved a $10 million equity investment in Orbite by Investissement Québec ("IQ"), a mandatory of the Québec Government. Terms and conditions of the investment, including timing and pricing, are expected to be settled shortly.

Convertible debentures

Orbite also secured a binding commitment by a U.S. based institutional investor providing for the future subscription of $40 million in additional units by way of private placement ("the Subscription Commitment") having identical terms to those of the Units issued in December 2013 (see note 7 of the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013), with the exception that the conversion price shall be based on the 5 day volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Corporation's shares on the last trading day prior to the date on which the subscription rights in respect of which the units are issued first become exercisable, and the Warrants granted shall be equivalent to 45% of the number of Common Shares into which the Debentures are convertible, exercisable at a 20% premium over such conversion price.

As per the terms of the Subscription Commitment, the investor subscribed, on March 10, 2014, to the two (2) series of subscription rights (the "Series X Subscription Rights" and the "Series Y Subscription Rights" and collectively the "Subscription Rights"). The Subscription Rights will be exercisable by the investor and by the Corporation. Upon exercise, the Subscription Rights will require the investor to purchase Additional Units in the total subscription amount of up to $40 million, as follows:

Series X Subscription Rights, requiring the investor upon exercise to purchase Additional Units in the amount of $10 million, failing which such Subscription Rights as well as the rights of Series Y will expire and
Series Y Subscription Rights, requiring the investor upon exercise to purchase Additional Units in the amount of up to $30 million based on aggregate trading value benchmarks on the Common Shares. The Series Y Subscription Rights are over a 24 month period and are only exercisable if the Series X Subscription Rights are exercised otherwise they will immediately expire.
As per the Corporation's press release dated March 14, the Series X Subscription Rights and Series Y Subscription Rights were issued upon the terms provided in the subscription agreement and summarized in the Corporation's amended and restated prospectus dated December 6, 2013.

The obligations of the Investor under the Subscription Rights are subject to several conditions, including obtaining certain regulatory approvals, including TSX approval, and approval of the Corporation's shareholders prior to the exercise of the Series Y Subscription Rights.

www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/orbite-aluminae-turns-a-corner-focus-shifts-to-project-execution-2014-03-13
Updated 6 hours ago TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – A recent $10-million equity investment in alumina producer Orbite Aluminae, the second investment from a government source this year, underlined the fact that the firm had “turned a corner” from the challenges experienced last year, and was now focused on completing the first phase of its high-purity alumina (HPA) plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, by the end of the year.

During a recent interview with Mining Weekly Online, newly installed CEO Glen Kelly pointed out that significant changes within the company had positioned it to better concentrate on reaching its goal of bringing the first phase of its 3 t/d high-grade alumina plant on line.

“Quebec provincial government’s significant investment was based on comprehensive technical and financial due diligence. This sends a clear signal that we are now done with financing – we only have to execute on the project,” he said during the recent Prospectors and Developers of Canada’s international convention, held last week in Toronto.

Orbite in December completed a $16-million public offering, supplementing a $40-million private placement with US-based institutional investor Crede Capital Group, which brought the total cash raised to $56-million.

This excluded the most recent $10-million equity investment by province’s investment vehicle Investissement Quebec, which followed the company receiving a C$4-million non-interest-bearing repayable financial contribution from Canada Economic Development's Quebec Economic Development Programme in January.

Orbite last year fell victim to a budget blowout, lifting the capital needed to complete construction of the 3 t/d second phase of its HPA plant to about $105.9-million, up from the 2012 estimate of $85-million.

As a result, Kelly, who had previously served as executive VP and COO, said that several key positions within the company had been refreshed with new talent, including strengthening the board.

An engineering review was started in January to evaluate and order the required long-lead equipment to complete the HPA plant. Under these counted the calcinator, for which the company was in negotiation with various EU- and Japan-based suppliers. Kelly said that the company expected to award the tender this month, for commissioning in December, which should allow the project to achieve commercial production by 2015.

Kelly indicated that the budget for the remainder of the project had been conservatively adjusted following two independent engineering reviews, noting that he was confident that the company now is fully funded until it starts earning revenue early next year.

Kelly stressed that the company would now approach its initial plans to produce HPA, silica and separated rare earths in a more “prioritised” way, focusing first – and exclusively – on getting the HPA up and running, before scaling the operation up to 5 t/d, after which it would focus on rare earths extraction.

Orbite’s proprietary plant technology would produce HPA from aluminous clay, bauxite, fly ash and toxic red mud – without leaving waste – technology that is already drawing interest from companies around the globe, mainly to mitigate environmental impact of existing concerns or to remediate old dumps.

“The critical selling point for us is that by applying our technology, waste becomes revenue,” Kelly said.

Orbite owns the Grande-Vallée aluminous claystone deposit, from where its main input would come. Orbite’s plant and properties are located near the biggest aluminium smelters in America.

The company’s TSX-listed share price rocketed to a high of C$4.80 in 2011, after it announced that it had produced the first tonne of HPA using the company’s patented process that marked “an important technological quantum step forward”.

However, trouble implementing and commercialising its technology, overambitious growth plans and a budget blowout shook investor confidence in 2013, and on Thursday, the stock changed hands at C$0.36 a share.

CAP-CHAT, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2014) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Government of Québec formally approved a 10M$ equity investment in Orbite by Investissement Québec ("IQ"), a mandatory of the Québec Government. The announcement was made at Orbite's High Purity Alumina ("HPA") production facility in Cap-Chat, Québec, in the presence of Mr. Gaétan Lelièvre, Member of the National Assembly of Québec for Gaspé, Minister for Regions and Minister responsible for the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region and the Bas-St-Laurent region.

"This structuring project positions Québec as a provider of a niche product used for high-tech applications, in addition to maintaining the economic vitality of the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region ».

The investment decision followed a comprehensive technical and financial due diligence of the HPA facility carried out by a third party engineering firm. "The significant contribution from the government of Québec, following a stringent independent review, is a testament to the work carried out by our new management and engineering team during the last six months", said Glenn Kelly, Orbite's President and CEO. "We are honoured to have the government of Québec as a major shareholder in Orbite and their investment will be used towards the completion of our HPA production facility."

Terms and condition of the investment, including timing and pricing, are expected to be settled within the next few weeks.

Nice news today!

The plan seems to be developing nicely.
12 months... or more likely 14= 16 as nothing seems to go as planned.
Seems well worth the wait.

Orbite Provides Update on Status and Development Plan for HPA Facility
Orbite Provides Update on Status and Development Plan for HPA Facility

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Oct 24, 2013) - Orbite Aluminae Inc. (TSX:ORT)(OTCQX:EORBF) ("Orbite" or the "Corporation") today reported on the present status, development plan and updated budget for completing its high-purity alumina (HPA) production plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec.


HPA Facility - Status Update


Orbite's High Purity Alumina plant in Cap-Chat, Quebec, continued intermittent production at a capacity of less than 50 kg per day into the month of August. Operations were suspended in August and September to allow the Corporation to complete, on a permanent basis, the installation of the plant utility systems, notably the steam, process air, and waste water treatment systems. Intermittent operations resumed in October to allow the production of commercial (4N+) samples for shipment to prospective customers and the advancement of our product qualification program.


The Corporation is preparing for the finalization of the facility to the 3 tonne per day (tpd) commercial production level. Engineering and Project Management firms have been selected and are ready to engage pending the necessary capital being raised.


Orbite wishes to note that it has no present concerns related to impurities in its process and does not perceive this to be a major issue going forward. The main issue that led to intermittent and reduced output operations is an equipment issue related to calcination, and not a process related issue. The detailed design of a Circulating Fluid Bed (CFB) calcinator has been completed by a supplier for Orbite. The Corporation is evaluating this design as well as other calcination technologies and expects approximately 7 months for calcinator delivery following finalization of the order. This order is expected to be placed within three months following the raising of the necessary capital.


HPA Facility - Updated Budget


The HPA plant is comprised of two major sections, the alumina extraction unit and the alumina purification unit. The extraction unit allows for the recovery of alumina from raw ores such as clay and is based upon Orbite's initial hydroxide-based process design. The Corporation subsequently developed the chloride-based extraction process which is the technology platform for the production of smelter grade alumina (SGA), the treatment of industrial wastes such as Red Mud and Fly Ash, and the production of other by-products such as hematite, magnesium oxides and silica including rare earth and rare metal oxides. The HPA facility was designed and built with the extraction unit based upon the hydroxide process. Considering the Corporation plans to convert the alumina extraction unit to the chloride based process, it has decided not to invest to fully complete the extraction unit at this time (see HPA Development Plan below). In the interim, the feedstock for the alumina purification unit will be sourced from commercially available products such as smelter-grade alumina, aluminum hydroxide or aluminum from recycled products. All these products are readily available and will not impact operating costs or product quality. Orbite expects it will produce HPA grade product in line with market needs and identical to HPA quality from raw ores.


Accordingly, the projected external capital costs required to complete the construction and commissioning of the HPA Plant, exclusive of the alumina extraction unit, are as follows:

About Orbite

Orbite Aluminae Inc. is a Canadian Corporation with innovative and proprietary processes that is expected to produce alumina and other high-value by-products, such as rare earth and rare metal oxides, at one of the lowest costs in the industry, without generating any wastes, using feedstocks that include aluminous clay, kaolin, nepheline, bauxite, red mud and fly ash. Orbite is currently operating and optimizing its first commercial high-purity alumina (HPA) production plant in Cap-Chat, Québec. Orbite has completed the basic engineering for a proposed smelter-grade alumina (SGA) production plant, which would use clay mined from its Grande-Vallée deposit. Orbite signed an exclusive worldwide collaborative agreement with Veolia Environmental Services for the remediation of red mud using the Orbite processes with the intent to construct a Veolia-operated plant. The Corporation has an intellectual property portfolio that contains 14 IP families and owns the intellectual property rights to nine patents and 40 pending patent applications in 10 different countries.
