Coretec Group Inc (CE) (CRTG) Quote

The SEC may just be concerned with other things but I hope CRTG is in contact with them and they've requested a waiver to trade without probation once they get current in their filings. That would fast track a lot of plans. If not (and I know no one wants to hear it) it's still going to take a couple of years to build a gigafactory and/or Silicon Anode active materials facility. I just want to see CRTG trading at it's true potential reflecting the changes that have been made to date.

They have been delinquent since November 15, 2024, and as far as I can see, the SEC has not taken any enforcement action against them. The only thing that has happened since then is that OTC moved them into the expert market.

Is it possible that the company is trying to gain investors in Korea, or elsewhere in the world where SEC regulations don't apply.

I really don't believe things change dramatically here in the US until the company comes current on its financials.

Gary

I don’t believe they can sell series D shares since, they are not in compliance with disclosure and reporting:

- *Accredited Investor Criteria*: CRTG must verify that potential buyers meet the SEC's accredited investor criteria, which includes specific income, net worth, or professional experience requirements.
- *Disclosure and Reporting*: CRTG must provide adequate disclosure and reporting to investors, including financial statements and other relevant information.”

Yes if I'm remembering right they actually WAY oversold the offering BEFORE they got de-listed. I wonder how those who bought the D shares feel about it now. Under the current circumstances I don't think they could sell any more D shares.

It will be difficult to raise more funds for Series D Preferred shares to acquire more shares in KIB Plug Energy, with Coretec stock price of 0.0008.

One of the best things Coretec could do to influence the Korean shareholders concern is to look like a real business again. Nobody wants their majority shareholder and most of their board to be of a company that was de-listed from the OTC and has a triple zero stock price. Pretty bad look. Unfortunately I am not optimistic that the annual report will be on time.

Looking forward to this litigation getting resolved and KIB Plug Energy becoming another subsidiary of CRTG.

Now compare the efficiency of extraction, storage, transportation and usage of Liquid Natural Gas to the losses of Hydrogen. Of all the naturally available fuels LNG is the "cleanest" and LNG wells are being developed all over the world. Isreal is reported to be sitting on the regions largest LNG deposits and if they exploit those deposits will change the balance of power in the region. I'm not saying there's not a market for Hydrogen but Hydrogen is directly competing with LNG and because of the huge losses in Hydrogen production compared to LNG and even direct use electricity Hydrogen will be a niche fuel in comparison with existing technology. What I am lookihg forward to is CRTG battery technology making energy storage more dense and affordable. My home is 100% solar and we use forklift batteries for storage. They way tons. They take maintenance every two weeks in summer and ever month in the winter. They take up the space of a sedan, cost as much as a new car are are corrosive. Lithium batteries take up the space of a stacked washer and dryer and take almost no maintenance. The issue is the price and lifespan. Lead acid forklift batteries properly maintained will last 20+ years by personal experience. Lithium batteries currently have a EXPECTED ten year life and cost twice as much. When CRTG releases the new battery chemistry I expect to see 20 year life plus and more than double density. I also expect the price to fall once mass production is developed. My biggest concern is municipalities that fear the independence self energy production brings to the citizenry. I'm already seeing municipalities limit how much electricity you can produce. Not voltage or amps but watts produced per day! That's nuts! Edison said before he died If municipalities centralize power production residents will be slaves to the producers and municipalities. Time has proven him right. I am all for decentralized production and the freedom to choose people's own destiny with as little Gov interference as possible. Having the freedom to produce and store your own power changes people's perception of government, "bills" and what it means to be an engaged citizen not just a "good consumer." I would love to see neighbors band together, buy a micronuclear generator and tell the city to pound sand! The Boston tea party was over the equivalent of a 2 penny tax on tea. We need to throw off the shackles of municipal over reach and become produces and free men and woman again. CRTG is opening the door to energy storage that expands the frontier of where human kind can establish a foothold and prosper.

“ A fascinating article on green hydrogen!

*Potential Applications for Silicon in the Green Hydrogen Pipeline*
The article highlights the growing importance of green hydrogen in the energy sector, particularly in storing energy from renewables. Silicon, with its unique properties, might play a role in this emerging industry:

1. *Silicon-based solar panels*: Silicon is a crucial material in solar panel manufacturing. As green hydrogen production relies on renewable energy sources, silicon-based solar panels could provide the necessary energy for hydrogen electrolysis.
2. *Silicon-based electrolysis cells*: Researchers have explored the use of silicon-based materials in electrolysis cells, which split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Silicon's properties could enhance the efficiency and durability of these cells.
3. *Thermal energy storage*: Silicon can be used in thermal energy storage systems, which are essential for stabilizing the grid and storing excess energy generated by renewables. This stored energy can then be used for hydrogen production.
4. *Hydrogen storage and transportation*: Silicon-based materials are being researched for their potential use in hydrogen storage and transportation. Silicon-based nanomaterials, for example, could improve the efficiency and safety of hydrogen storage.

*Opportunities for Collaboration and Innovation*
While silicon's role in the green hydrogen pipeline is still being explored, there are opportunities for collaboration and innovation:

1. *Research and development partnerships*: Collaborations between silicon manufacturers, research institutions, and green hydrogen companies could accelerate the development of silicon-based technologies for the green hydrogen industry.
2. *Supply chain integration*: Silicon suppliers could work closely with green hydrogen companies to ensure a stable and efficient supply chain for silicon-based materials.
3. *Standardization and regulation*: Industry stakeholders, including silicon manufacturers, should engage in standardization and regulatory efforts to ensure the safe and efficient deployment of green hydrogen technologies.

In conclusion, while the connection between silicon and green hydrogen is still emerging, there are potential applications and opportunities for collaboration and innovation. As the green hydrogen industry continues to grow, it's essential to explore the role of silicon in this ecosystem.”

Interesting article. Though I lost most of it "storage of energy" and transporting caught my wandering mind wondering if there is a place for our silicon in the pipeline? Do you think so? "Hydrogen is emerging as one of the leading options for storing energy from renewables with hydrogen-based fuels potentially transporting energy from renewables over long distances"...

I guess I'm bored. But, ten days to the 10K.

Anyhow:
Quikshft - How much electricity does it cost to make green hydrogen, vs just using it directly in the end application?

ChatGPT said:
Good question—green hydrogen production and usage involve energy losses at multiple stages, so the overall efficiency (or yield) is a critical factor in determining whether it makes sense compared to direct electricity use.

Energy Efficiency of Green Hydrogen vs. Direct Electricity Use
Electrolysis Efficiency (Making Hydrogen)

The process of splitting water via electrolysis is ~60–80% efficient (i.e., 20–40% of the electricity is lost as heat).
This means that for every 100 kWh of electricity, you get 60–80 kWh worth of hydrogen energy.
Compression & Storage Losses

If the hydrogen is stored or transported (compressed or liquefied), another 10–30% of the energy is lost.
Fuel Cell Efficiency (Using Hydrogen)

When converting hydrogen back into electricity via a fuel cell, the efficiency is ~50–60%.
So, if you started with 100 kWh of electricity, you might end up with 30–50 kWh of usable energy after the entire process.
Comparison to Direct Electricity Use
If you use electricity directly (e.g., to power an electric vehicle or industrial process), efficiency can be 90% or higher.
In contrast, the full hydrogen cycle (electrolysis ? storage ? fuel cell) results in an overall efficiency of 30–50%.
This means that using electricity directly is roughly 2–3 times more efficient than converting it into hydrogen and back.
When Does Green Hydrogen Make Sense?
Despite its lower efficiency, green hydrogen is valuable in:

Heavy Industry (Steel, Cement, Chemicals): These processes need high temperatures or chemical reactions where electricity isn’t a direct substitute.
Long-Distance Transport (Trucks, Ships, Planes): Hydrogen is lighter than batteries and can store more energy per weight.
Grid Storage: Hydrogen can store excess renewable energy for long periods, while batteries are better for short-term storage.
If the end application can use electricity directly, that’s usually the best choice. But for hard-to-electrify sectors, green hydrogen can be a viable alternative. Would you be looking at it for anything specific?

I don't believe hydrogen is going away anytime soon, especially green hydrogen.

What is green hydrogen and why do we need it? An expert explains
Article dated Dec 21, 2021.
https://www.weforum.org/stories/2021/12/what-is-green-hydrogen-expert-explains-benefits/

Germany's grid problems could be greatly helped if they would focus on battery storage systems instead of pumped hydro. Large scale BESS installations are just starting to gain momentum here in the states...and we've come full circle back to how CRTG is positioned to profit...in theory.

They'll probably reverse course with the hydrogen. With LNG being so available the only adopters of hydrogen will be ideological not economic with the USA being the largest consumer of ideological energy second to Germany whose grid is collapsing because of ideological infrastructure decisions outside reality. I do hope KIB is able to streamline under CRTG management and give the best bang for buck. That alone should bump CRTG stock.

In the KIB Plug Energy video it says toward the end of the video they are expanding into the Green Hydrogen Energy business . I think CRTG will profit greatly from KIB .

This is a good site to look at on Green Hydrogen use.

Kib Plug Energy video on the history of the company .Click on Public relations tab to the right ... Its been on their website for a while but it gives a good overview. Ik sure Coretecs people who are now managing KIB will change some things but i think it has great potential as a revenue generator for CRTG once they acquire the number of shares needed to count KIBs revenue in their balance sheets . I believe it would be 51 % ownership. Hopfully they hit that soon

"1 ) This transformative acquisition,2) coupled with a strategic restructuring of its Core Optics subsidiary 3) and upcoming funding initiatives, solidifies Coretec’s status as a global powerhouse in energy and technology."


LFG!!!!

Since this press release came out we know Coretec has 41,528,391,326 shares of Kib Plug and has *Ongoing Negotiations: for
• 34,000,000 shares (to be acquired from various shareholders).* As we know these Series D share contracts and sells as wel, as the purchasing of Kib Plug shares , the strategic restructuring of its Core Optics subsidiary and further financing activities including the Ongoing Negotiations: for
• 34,000,000 shares ok Kib Plug are keeping Coretec from filing the last years 3rd quarter reports that ende Sept 30 2024 but have to be included in the Subsuquent events since the Nov 6th 2024 series D agreement started before the filing deadline . Thats a fact period . The agreement ends March 31 st and can be extended 45 days unless they wrap it all up before March 31st which could happen . So i look for any news , filings etc a we all are but this all has taken time just as they said it would in the agreement NOV 6th they would probably be filing late on the Nov 15th 2024 quarterly report . Im not worried about it as they are completely restructuring the company which made all the quarterly reports filings late. Question is when will they wrap up the Series D offering and purchases of Kib and all the restructuring of Core Optics subsidiary and financing activites . I look forward to seeing the finality of all this MAJOR Corporate restructuring as i believe CRTG will be a far better company when all is said and done . Hopfully they can wrap it up earlier the March 31 or April 15 which would be because the needed a 45 day extension . Look for KIB Plug annual report mid March . The filied it on March 21st last year

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Dec. 04, 2024 – The Coretec Group, Inc. (OTCQB: CRTG) (“Coretec” or the “Company”) has taken a decisive step toward global leadership in energy innovation with the acquisition of a controlling stake in KIB Plug Energy Co., Ltd.

Coretec Group's (CRTG) path to getting up to date with the SEC filings is uncertain, but there are a few indicators to look out for.

- *Filings with the SEC*: Keep an eye on the SEC's EDGAR database for any new filings from CRTG, such as a Form 10-Q or a Form 8-K, which may indicate progress in getting up to date ¹.
- *Press releases and investor updates*: CRTG may issue press releases or investor updates that provide insight into their progress on filing overdue reports or resolving any issues with the SEC.
- *SEC correspondence*: If the SEC has communicated with CRTG regarding their overdue filings, this correspondence may be publicly available through the SEC's website or EDGAR database.

https://securities-law-blog.com/tag/sec-updates-guidance-on-confidential-treatment-requests/

Is there any indicator or preamble before CRTG gets up to date with the SEC?

Yes indeed! But I’m afraid that we’ll not get the opportunity to buy at these prices for very long! The share price will escalate greatly once Coretec is out of executive market! I pray that it happens soon in March!……

If only we could buy at this price...

I can’t believe that someone sold 1 share today! 😂 LOL!

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I believe it's obvious that the company won't be freely trading until it comes current with its financials.

If its giga-factory is being supported with Federal Govt. funds, it needs to be very careful that they won't be pulled, especially if they in no way support Musk's business empire.

Gary

Skitahoe
I understand the situation with financial documentation requirements by SEC. What I’m saying is that the company should proceed building the giga-factory right now. That way they can get this ball rolling along! Work on getting federal funding & giga-factory built now and not later! ……

I'm not suggesting that they don't do the work, but why we're down is because they're not doing the required financial documentations. Until they get up to date on the quarterlies we'll be stuck where we are in spite of mega-factories, etc.

Gary

Well I hope that Coretec has at least broken ground on this gigantic plant in Virginia! We desperately need for an increase in the share price!…:,,

Depends on the size, but 18 months for one that was built in London.

Well I pray that this SNAILS PACE ends soon with expert market. Then proceeds to a very rapid pace of commercialization for Endurion anode! How long does it take to build a giga-plant?…….

Gunny, this is true of most of the products which eventually are approved.

IMGN's first approved drug was a conjugate of Herceptin. Genentech, who owned Herceptin wasn't interested until IMGN actually conjugated it and gave them a sample to try. They entered a partnership, and Genentech insisted on major improvements in the way it was conjugated before going further. IMGN investors had thought it abandoned after roughly a decade of preclinical work when suddenly it was alive, and they were bringing it into the clinic. After roughly a decade more it gained approval with the name Kadcyla. Sadly IMGN didn't wait for the small royalty stream they were due, they monetized it and stepped away. It became a blockbuster drug, but because it was a very early creation by IMGN, its royalty numbers, etc. were really quite small. Its next approved drug, which was wholly owned resulted in a buyout, while profitable, many of us who'd been with the company for several decades were unhappy, though we had a nice profit.

I hope that NWBO doesn't sell out on initial success as regardless what they get, I believe they'll be worth far more if trading independently, at least until they're bringing in blockbuster revenue.

Gary

My chief complaint however in this whole ordeal...IT'S SO FREAKING SLOW! I'm looking for a snail emoji. 🐌 FOUND IT! All kidding aside only the truly patient will win this hand.

Wholeheartedly agree with you. It's just a matter of time before we see this company move onward and upward!

Here's what we know. Several infusions in the millions (somewhere around 10mill to 15mill) have given CRTG options. They're consolidating like oriented companies into a single focus and they're planning manufacturing in the United States. Once the filings are complete the stock should reflect the recent moves. Everything brings me to one conclusion - Their actions are those of a manufacturing company NOT an R&D company. If R&D is moving from primary to the background they believe they have a product. Am I the only one who has seen this attitude shift?

Trump spoke att business. Confidence with leaders & major business organizations around the world in Miami this evening! He said to these businesses that’if you want to get rich, then bring your business to the US!!! Coretec needs to jump on this asap!!!!!

A typical Gigafactory, like those operated by Tesla, usually employs several thousand people, with numbers ranging from around 2,000 to over 20,000 depending on the size and production capacity of the facility, with some locations like the Gigafactory Texas aiming to reach up to 60,000 employees when fully operational.

"Key points about Gigafactory employment:
Tesla Gigafactory Texas: Currently employs over 20,000 people, with plans to potentially increase to 60,000.
Tesla Gigafactory Berlin: Employs around 11,500 people.
Tesla Gigafactory Nevada: Initially started with a few thousand employees and has grown to employ several thousand."

Test Pilot & Quick Shift
How many jobs could this giga-plant could potentially have?

That’s what I’m thinking 🤔 And if that transpires, we could potentially see CRTG list on the Nasdaq without a RS, provided CRTG gets state/federal grants.

That makes sense, a giga factory can assemble batteries from multiple outside (close by) suppliers. Hopefully Coretec supplies active anode material.

They are still listed as a 'partner' on the particular page of the website, but the company probably is not aware of that. Hard to figure, a website is a first resort when trying to learn about any particular company or business, you'd think there'd be some activity.

Maybe part of a larger overall development? A battery manufacturing park? Just riffing....hoping there is opportunity here for CRTG to get a slice of the pie.

Microporous manufactured lithium-ion natural rubber-based separators for the battery.
https://microporous.net/lead-acid-separators/lead-acid-manufacturing/

Microporous appears to be building a plant which manufactures battery separators, and not complete batteries. This might not be the battery giga-factory that Coretec is desiring to be involved in.

Microporous’ Expansion Plans

Microporous will leverage DOE support to bring two new-to-North America production facilities online:

1. 2025: Commercial launch of new ultra-thin, coated wet-process polyethylene (PE) lithium-ion battery separator capacity in Piney Flats, TN.
2. 2026: High-volume coated PE lithium-ion battery separator production in Danville, VA. Microporous plans to invest $1.35 billion in domestic separator capacity as the anchor tenant in the newly developed Southern Virginia Megasite.

we could use something like this?

I am not sure if there is any relationship between CRTG and the University of Oklahoma anymore. That would go all the way back to when the entire focus of the company was to design a functional 3D imaging chamber for commercialization.

I am not even sure if that is part of this company's plans moving forward at all. I do believe the research partnership with OU is no longer in effect.
