Quantum Silicon Production Project awarded $5.1m funding under the Defence Trailblazer Program

Silex Systems Limited

August 17, 2023 (AEST): Silex Systems Limited (Silex) (ASX: SLX) (OTCQX: SILXY) is pleased to announce the award of $5.1m in funding from the Defence Trailblazer for Concept to Sovereign Capability Program, a strategic partnership between The University of Adelaide and UNSW Sydney (UNSW), supported by the Australian Government Department of Education through the Trailblazer Universities Program. The funding will support the establishment of a Quantum Silicon Production Plant, which aims to deliver an end-to-end manufacturing facility at the Company’s Lucas Heights technology centre. It is anticipated that the first production module will produce between 5kg to 10kg annually of ZS-Si (in the form of halo-silane), which will then be converted to multiple Q-Si product forms for potential customers in the global silicon-based quantum computing industry. The new project will be undertaken in conjunction with partners, Silicon Quantum Computing Pty Ltd (SQC) and UNSW, and follows on from an earlier project that demonstrated efficient production of gram quantities of ZS-Si, with enrichment of silicon-28 up to ~99.998% purity. Michael Goldsworthy, Silex’s CEO/Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to receive funding under the Federal Government’s Defence Trailblazer Program, which will assist us to transition our Zero-Spin Silicon enrichment technology from the pilot demonstration level to commercial-scale, including the development of product conversion technology to produce two forms of commercial Quantum Silicon products (gas and solid) required by emerging silicon quantum chip fabricators around the world.” “This enables us to capitalise on the results achieved in the recently completed Zero-Spin Silicon Project for our innovative SILEX laser isotope separation technology, and to establish a sovereign capability and secure supply chain for this critical enabling material for the emerging silicon quantum computing industry. Previously, the main supply of enriched silicon came from Russia, but this source has been disrupted by geopolitical events”, he added. Professor Michelle Simmons AO, CEO of SQC, said: “Following the successful collaboration under the CRC-P program, SQC is tremendously excited about the expansion of our partnership with Silex through the Trailblazer Quantum Silicon Production Project. The Trailblazer funding supports Silex’s commercial-scale production of Quantum Silicon, the key enriched silicon material essential to the manufacture of SQC’s atom-scale quantum computers in Australia. The creation of a sovereign supply of this vital material comes at a time when our traditional source of supply has been disrupted. We couldn’t be more motivated to support this Project.” Dr Sanjay Mazumdar, Executive Director, Defence Trailblazer, said: “The Defence Trailblazer looks forward to supporting the commercial deployment of Silex’s Quantum Silicon Production Plant. The intent of the Defence Trailblazer Program is to support the commercialisation of Australian technologies that will have a material benefit to the Defence sector in Australia. Through the Quantum Silicon Production Project, a sovereign end-to-end supply chain for critical quantum materials essential for silicon quantum computing will be created. The advent of quantum computing is expected to have profound impacts on Defence and National Security activities, and this Project is a perfect fit with the intent of the Trailblazer.” Professor Nicholas Fisk, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Enterprise, UNSW Sydney, said: “UNSW Sydney is extremely pleased to support Silex and SQC in the Quantum Silicon Production Project under the Defence Trailblazer Program, in partnership with The University of Adelaide. As a major shareholder in SQC, and as the Administering Organisation for the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology, we have been impressed with the achievements in the previous CRC-P project for the development of ZS-Si production technology, and are excited to support the next step for commercial-scale production of Quantum Silicon. This Project is of critical importance to Australia’s ability to maintain leadership in an increasingly competitive and strategic endeavour to develop the world’s first scalable quantum computing technology.” Contributing to the ‘ Quantum Materials, Technologies and Computing Theme’ under the Defence Trailblazer Program, quantum computing capability is emerging as a vitally important strategic and national security technology, as evidenced by the global race to establish early mover advantage. The Trailblazer funding will support the commercialisation of Q-Si products for use in defence and civilian markets (domestic and offshore), while cementing areas of critical sovereign capability within Australia. Quantum technologies are expected to have a profound impact on our way of life in the decades to come, with quantum computing to open new frontiers and opportunities for defence and national security. The Q-Si Production Plant will include equipment for conversion of ZS-Si (in the form of halo-silane) into different product forms that are compatible with silicon quantum chip fabrication technologies utilised by manufacturers, namely: Quantum Silane gas – used in chemical vapour deposition (CVD) based processes utilised for quantum chip fabrication Quantum Silicon solid – used in atomic and molecular beam epitaxy (ABE / MBE) based processes utilised for quantum chip fabrication. A key benefit of the SILEX laser isotope separation technology is its modular nature, allowing the possibility for the production plant to be scaled up with additional modules, based on market demand and other factors. The 3.5-year Project has a total budget of ~$16m, of which $5.1m in funding will be provided by the Defence Trailblazer. Silex is currently resolving other avenues of financial support for the Project. Authorised for release by the Silex Board of Directors. Further information on the Company’s activities can be found on the Silex website: www.silex.com.au or by contacting investor.relations@silex.com.au.

Cautionary Statements, Summary Information Information presented in this press release may be only a summary of all available information and does not purport to be a full representation of all figures, notes and discussions provided for in the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A. Readers are cautioned to read the entirety of the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A, and to not rely only on the information presented in this press release. In the event of conflict between the provisions of this press release on the one hand, and the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A on the other hand, the information in the Interim Financial Statements and MD&A shall govern. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In this press release, Wishpond has used the following terms (“ Non-GAAP Financial Measures ”) that are not defined by IFRS, but are used by management to evaluate the performance of Wishpond and its business: adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“ Adjusted EBITDA ”), monthly recurring revenue. These measures may also be used by investors, financial institutions and credit rating agencies to assess Wishpond’s performance and ability to service debt. Non-GAAP Financial Measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Securities regulations require that Non-GAAP Financial Measures are clearly defined, qualified and reconciled to their most comparable IFRS financial measures. Except as otherwise indicated, these Non-GAAP Financial Measures are calculated and disclosed on a consistent basis from period to period. Specific items may only be relevant in certain periods. See the disclosure under the heading “ Additional GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures ” in Wishpond’s MD&A for a discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and certain reconciliations to GAAP financial measures. The intent of Non-GAAP Financial Measures is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts, and the measures do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. The measures should not, therefore, be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Other issuers may calculate Non-GAAP Financial Measures differently. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are identified and defined as follows: Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings, cash flow from operating activities or other measures of financial results determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance. The Company defines " Adjusted EBITDA " as Loss before income taxes less interest, depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of contingent consideration liability, filing fees, credit facility setup fees, earn-out remuneration, foreign currency losses (gains), acquisition related expenses, net other expenditures (income), reverse takeover listing expense, and stock-based compensation. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful financial metric as it measures cash generated from operations which the Company can use to fund working capital requirements, service future interest and principal debt repayments and fund future growth initiatives. Monthly recurring revenue: The Company uses monthly recurring revenue, or MRR, as a directional indicator of subscription revenue going forward assuming customers maintain their subscription plan the following month. MRR is the total of all monthly subscription plan fees paid by customers in effect on the last day of that period. If customers pay for more than one month upfront, the amount is divided by the number of months in the subscription period. Discounts are deducted prior to the calculation and one-time payments and metered based charges are excluded. Forward-Looking Statements Statements that are not reported financial results or other historical information are forward-looking statements or forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, " forward-looking statements "). This press release includes forward-looking statements regarding the Company, its subsidiaries and the industries in which they operate, including statements about, among other things, all information contained under the heading “Outlook” herein, references to expected results from future operations, references to the growth of the Company’s product portfolio, including whether additional AI powered products or features may be developed in the future, and the functionality and timing of such products, financial results or operational activities that may be undertaken by the Company, the results of the Company’s cost-savings, research and development and other initiatives, any future acquisitions, share purchases or other activities done to grow the Company both organically or inorganically, expectations, beliefs, plans, future operations, origination of additional targets in which the Company may hold an interest and acquisition opportunities for the Company, the impact of broader economic factors including inflation and other general economic risks on the Company, business and acquisition strategies, opportunities, objectives, prospects, assumptions, including those related to trends and prospects, and future events and performance.

XRP's Legal Triumphs Are Good For Crypto: Pomerdoge Predicted To Be The Top Altcoin Of 2023

Blockchain Digest

The world of cryptocurrencies is rapidly evolving. Being a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs, it is a highly volatile landscape. The crypto market often faces regulatory enforcement and legal battles. Ripple (XRP), which was entangled in a long-time battle with the SEC, has emerged victorious, setting a valuable precedent. The ruling in this landmark case holds the potential to transform the crypto landscape and the industry’s future. While Ripple (XRP) basks in its legal triumph, Pomerdoge (POMD) has been gaining significant traction, making it possibly the next big thing amongst altcoins. Summary Ripple (XRP) gets a big win in its long-stretched case with the SEC. Pomerdoge, the latest meme coin priced at just $0.008, is gaining momentum. Click Here To Find Out More About The Pomerdoge (POMD) Presale Ripple (XRP) basks in the glory of its landmark victory For the past 3 years, Ripple (XRP) has been in a legal battle with the SEC. The Securities Exchange Commission had raised concerns regarding Ripple’s (XRP) status as a security, and unregistered security offering to its investors. The SEC stated that Ripple (XRP) raised over $1 billion through the sale of these illegal tokens. Ripple (XRP) denied these allegations, stating that, being a cryptocurrency, it cannot be classified as a security. As a result of this feud, a shadow of doubt hangs over Ripple (XRP), and the overall crypto industry. However, with the court ruling in favor of XRP’s parent company, Ripple Labs, the air of ambiguity has been cleared. This landmark ruling will consequently serve as an important precedent in multiple cases. Firstly, it enforces that not all cryptocurrencies are securities. Furthermore, it establishes the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies as a financial class, leading to a path toward mainstream adoption. Lastly, the clarity due to this victory has prompted optimism regarding the increased adoption of Ripple (XRP) as well as other cryptocurrencies. In the past month, Ripple (XRP) has rose by 32.31%. However, despite its big win, Ripple (XRP) has witnessed a drop of 4.55% in its weekly charts. Ripple (XRP) is currently trading at 0.629. Pomerdoge (POMD) is ready to take the market by storm Pomerdoge is becoming a rising star in the altcoin universe. Based on the meme-driven cryptocurrency culture, Pomerdoge has been gaining investor attention for its unique offerings. Being a part of the P2E gaming industry that holds the potential to reach USD 3,618.4 million by 2028, Pomerdoge is a solid and revolutionary project. It will connect players from all around the world, providing both networking opportunities and a competitive platform. Pomerdoge will combine the much-talked-about Doge meme with its innovative features, such as locked-in liquidity for life along with a revenue share from the game, proportional to token ownership in presale. Thus, it is all set to dethrone its contenders, which include Dogecoin, Pepe, Shiba Inu, etc. Further, during the months of August/ September, Pomerdoge is all set to launch a collection of 7,777 NFTs that can be bought using POMD tokens exclusively. Priced at just $0.0035, Pomerdoge offers investors an attractive opportunity to make big gains by investing early.

Why Bitcoin May Drop Below $29,000 Support Level, Everlodge Set for 35x Pump

Total Media

The cryptocurrency market is in a whirl of excitement as Bitcoin, the veteran of the crypto space, is currently testing the $29,000 support level. In the midst of this, a new player brims with potential - Everlodge. Now in its presale phase, This rising star is poised for a staggering 35x pump. Let's take a closer look at these two opposing forces and what they each bring to the table. Join the Everlodge presale and win a luxury holiday to the Maldives Everlodge (ELDG): 35X Gains Ahead Despite Falling Bitcoin (BTC) Price Everlodge is revolutionizing the real estate investment sphere by blending timeshare with fractional property co-ownership, all on the blockchain. This exciting venture allows ordinary individuals to invest in multi-million dollar vacation properties, even with just $100. The process begins with the digitization of hotels and luxury villas, transforming them into NFTs with all the related titles, deeds, and ownership details securely encoded within a smart contract. These NFTs are then fractionalized, allowing investors to buy a piece of property. For instance, a $10 million villa in Miami could be divided into 100,000 fragments, each priced at $100. If the villa's value rises by 20%, the NFTs' price rises accordingly. The backbone of the Everlodge ecosystem is the ELDG token, which serves as the internal payment currency. ELDG holders enjoy benefits like discounts on trading and maintenance fees. Moreover, by staking ELDG tokens, users can earn a fixed monthly interest, generating passive income. Currently, the ELDG token is available for $0.01 each during phase 1 of the presale, a price set to escalate as the presale progresses. Market analysts foresee a 280% price rise during the presale and a dramatic 30x surge when the token lands on tier-1 exchanges later this year. With its innovative hybrid model of fractional ownership and timeshare, Everlodge is poised to reshape the way people invest in luxury real estate, making it accessible to a broader audience and unlocking exciting opportunities for both developers and individual investors. Bitcoin (BTC) Tests $29,000 Support Level The flagship of digital currencies, Bitcoin, continues to see sharp fluctuations in price. A notable dip to $24,800 was seen in mid-June, which was followed by a resurgence within a week that saw the price climb back to just over $31,000. However, this recovery appears to be short-lived. Bitcoin's value is once again on the decline after it failed to breach the resistance zone around $31,800. More worryingly, the cryptocurrency dropped below the previously stable support level of $29,500 - $30,000. Previously, a wave of optimism had swept through the Bitcoin community, spurred on by anticipation around the potential approval of Bitcoin ETF applications. This would have signaled a level of regulatory acceptance and could have brought in significant institutional support. But when even this cause for hope failed to lift Bitcoin prices, questions arose about what catalyst might be required to propel Bitcoin back into a bull run. Adding fuel to the fire of uncertainty, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler voiced his concerns about the potential for fraud within the crypto sphere. From a technical standpoint, there appears to be a bearish divergence on Bitcoin's weekly chart. Such a signal indicates that while prices may continue to oscillate in the short term, Bitcoin could be in for a sustained downtrend. Chart technicians note the $27,500 area to be a strong support zone. If prices remain above this level, there is still hope for a recovery in the near future. However, a lack of reaction at this level would see mass liquidations and a fast drop to $20,000. Despite the stormy weather, there are some potential ports in the storm. For example, the Everlodge presale is underway. With rock-bottom prices on offer and a massive 35x pump potential, investors are escaping the Bitcoin chaos for the more promising prospects that Everlodge presents.

Crypto Projects With 100x Potential: Tron (TRX), Polkadot, Everlodge

Total Media

With a new cryptocurrency bull market on the way, investors are looking for high-potential projects. While there are thousands available, TRON, Everlodge and Polkadot are expected to offer the best returns. Experts believe that Polkadot is significantly undervalued. With a rapidly growing ecosystem, it could hit new all-time highs over the next year. Meanwhile, TRON is gaining traction in markets worldwide, and has increased in value by 12.94% in the last year. Everlodge is yet to be released. However, the project provides game-changing utility and is expected to offer huge returns. Find Out How To Buy Everlodge (ELDG) Everlodge Is Taking Property Digital Everlodge is a groundbreaking new DeFi project. It utilizes DeFi technology to help investors purchase fractional shares in luxury villas, hotels, and vacation homes. With the market for vacation homes increasing a massive 4.6% annually, Everlodge is expected to provide investors with a number of lucrative opportunities. The platform is designed to be simple for both sellers and buyers. Owners can mint their property as an NFT, which is then fractionalized. Investors can then purchase NFT fractions for a lower cost than if they were to buy the entire property. This reduces the barriers to entry, letting more investors profit throughout the market. Everlodge will reward early investors with a guaranteed return. The project uses a dynamic pricing model in which ELDG tokens will increase after each phase of its presale has sold out. This, in addition to several token holder benefits, has put Everlodge in high demand despite the fact that its presale hasn’t started yet. Once it begins, Everlodge tokens will start selling at $0.01 and are expected to reach $0.035 before its presale has finished. Holders will be able to stake tokens for a passive income. They will also receive free nightly stays in hotels and villas if they join the rewards club. These can be used as a free holiday or sold for a profit. TRON’s Growth Slows In July Over the last thirty days, TRON has increased in value by 0.60%. The project surged to $0.09 on the 22nd of the month after XRP won its case against the SEC. This was also a win for TRON, as its founder now faces legal action from the regulatory board. Although TRON’s value has declined, investors remain bullish. The project's daily trading volume has remained above $150 million and is pushing $200 million going into August. As TRON’s popularity continues to increase, experts believe that TRON could hit $0.1 by the end of the year. Polkadot Could Be Undervalued According To Analysts Polkadots price has decreased by 3.04% in the past month. The project is now trading at $5.17 and remains 40% lower than its value just one year ago. However, both experts and investors agree that Polkadot is significantly undervalued. In 2023, the Polkadot ecosystem has grown faster than ever. Its number of contributors has increased from 15,000 to 19,090, breaking a record in the process. As a result, Polkadot is now the second largest ecosystem in terms of contributors. After breaking records, Polkadot continues to expand. 10 new decentralized apps have been launched, with several more planned for Q3. With its ecosystem continuing to expand, experts predict that Polkadot could hit new all-time highs during the next crypto bull market.
