Smartcool Starts Non-Profit Partnership Program

Smartcool Systems Inc.
(SSC: TSX-V)
Basic Shares 46.8 million
Fully Diluted 54.7 million
--------------------------------------

Smartcool has partnered with one of its premier distributors in Florida, Global Energy Services (GES) to help non-profit organizations benefit from Smartcool’s energy savings.

The innovative program allows for Smartcool's ECO3 units to be installed at no charge up front with a year of interest free payments on the product. The money saved on the energy bill each month goes towards paying off the product. All of the energy saving dollars incurred once the product is paid for can be used to fund much needed services and programs.

GES has been working with the YMCA 's in the Suncoast service area of Florida where the first install has proven to have saved more than 10% on the monthly energy bills. The plan now is to install the ECO3 unit into 8 YMCA locations in the Suncoast area where overall expected savings would be in excess of $50,000 per year.

One particular YMCA location named Greater Ridgecrest in Largo Florida has been hit especially hard by the downturn in the economy and is predominantly serving minority youth who can't pay traditional membership fees. Smartcool has opted to donate its ECO3 product to this location to help with its challenges.

GES and Smartcool plan to roll out this program to hundreds of non-profit organizations that can equally benefit from its innovation.

Argonaut Exploration – Is It On To Something Big?

From High Gold Project

Argonaut Exploration
AGA - TSX.V
Shares Outstanding - 25.2 Million
Fully Diluted - 35.9 Million

----------------------------------------------
Today Argonaut Exploration announced its initial results from its 2,500 metre drill program on its High Gold property. The length and consistency of Copper, Molybdenum and Gold in the drill intercepts indicate Argonaut’s High Gold property is a large porphyry system.

One hole demonstrated a strike length of 156.3m with a 0.25% copper equivalent. Another hole showed a strike length of 118.4m with a 0.30% copper equivalent.

Investors will ask, “Why is this significant?”

When evaluating the value a porphyry system, consider the following:At today’s copper / molybdenum / gold prices 0.25 % copper equivalent with sizable tonnage is economic and is appealing to the majors. This is a big change from ten years ago when copper was below $1 per pound, and 1% copper was considered economic.

See the illustration below.

Stay tuned for more drill results, today’s news is just the beginning from Argonaut.

AeroMechanical Technology Advantages Noted By International Body

AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX:V-AMA)
Basic Shares: 103.6 million
Fully Diluted: 115.4 million
******************************

The stone a respected international aviation group just threw into the Atlantic Ocean could create some great ripples for passenger safety and AeroMechanical Services (AMA).

What happened is the group, known as the European Oceanic Position Tracking Improvement & Monitoring program (OPTIMI), issued an interim report on its efforts to find a better way to track, monitor and communicate with aircraft flying over vast areas of the globe that are not covered by radar - like the Atlantic Ocean.

And in that report, OPTIMI stated AMA has the technology to solve that problem, right now.
No other company’s technology was mentioned.

The OPTIMI group was set up in the wake of the Air France 447 flight that tragically disappeared into the Atlantic Ocean in June 2009 claiming the lives of all 228 passengers and crew. A massive search was launched, not only to try and help any survivors, but also to find the aircraft’s black boxes that hold the critical information which could lead investigators to discover why the modern Airbus passenger jet fell from the midnight skies in that stormy equatorial area.

But the boxes have never been found.

OPTIMI’s task was to identify the best way that the critical data flowing into an aircraft’s black box could be practically and economically streamed back to earth stations in emergency situations so the vital clues are available when the black box can’t be found.

Its other task was to find a technology that can precisely track those aircraft in radar-less areas.
The OPTIMI group found that, “AMA’s solution offers great flexibility and is unique in its ability to use a wide range of events to trigger,” emergency alerts to ground personnel about when a plane is in trouble and automatically report where that aircraft is located.

Of course, the latter observation also opens the possibility that ground experts can now talk to pilots to help when an onboard malfunction occurs and hopefully well before a fatality occurs, just like NASA does with its astronauts.

“AMA’s technology is a valid option for consideration within the OPTIMI project as being universally available to civil and military operators ..., ” the report added. OPTIMI will issue a final report at some future date.

AeroMechanical & Hawker Beechcraft Stand Side By Side

AeroMechanical Services Ltd. (TSX:V-AMA)
Basic Shares: 103.6 million
Fully Diluted: 115.4 million
******************************

AeroMechanical Services has scored a major business coup with today's announcement from Hawker Beechcraft that it will be offering AMA's automated flight information reporting system (afirs) on 125 series business jets (900XP, 850XP, 800XP & 750).

This notable announcement that Hawker is AMA's first Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) was made at the National Business Aviation Associated (NBAA) conference in Atlanta.

Tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct. 20th), AMA will have more to say about this important development.

In its news release, Hawker noted it will start the customer education process as afirs will be installed on its demonstration aircraft.

The monitoring service – Automated Flight Information Reporting System (afirs™) and supporting infrastructure, UpTime™ – can help ensure operational readiness by recognizing and transmitting relevant engine and aircraft data that, if left undetected or unaddressed, might otherwise result in an unscheduled maintenance event and impact aircraft availability and dispatch reliability. In addition, Hawker Beechcraft is equipping its demonstrator aircraft with the system to allow the company to educate customers on system utilization.

We have been told by an attendee at the NBAA who sat in on the Hawker press conference that one of the company representatives in responding to a journalist's question said that afirs would be "standard fit" starting in 2011.

There is no publicly available information at this time on Hawker or AMA's financial expectations from this relationship.

What is clear is that AMA has a growing chorus of supporters because of the advantages of its technology.

Asia Now Preps Six Rigs To Work Beside Gold Neighbour

Asia Now (TSX-V: NOW)
Basic Shares: 65.5 million
Fully Diluted: 68.3 million

--------------------------------------

Being next door to a large producing gold operation combined with very encouraging drill results is the perfect formula to motivate any junior company to step up exploration.

As such, it's clear why Asia Now has announced that it will be moving 6 to 8 rigs to its Beiya North property in China. The mobilization is set to occur in conjunction with the closing of a recently announced financing that will be taken up by NOW's partner and major investor China Gold.

Asia Now's Beiya North property sits adjacent to the largest gold mine in the Yunan Province which is reportedly expanding annual production to 200 thousand ounces.

The existing open-pit mine is looking to expand. Asia Now has all of the surrounding land covering 586 square kilometres. Owners of the gold mine have 20 rigs drilling 40,000 metres of high-grade massive copper-gold sulphides right on the border of Asia Now's property.

Asia Now is looking to drill 17,400 metres on a grid of 80 metres by 80 metres to prove up a 43-101 compliant resource next to the mine.

Argonaut Buys Gold Property

Argonaut Exploration
AGA - TSX.V
Shares Outstanding - 25.2 Million
Fully Diluted - 35.9 Million

----------------------------------------------

After the market closed yesterday, Argonaut announced that it purchased the 2,230 hectare Columario Gold property, in the Terrace area of British Columbia, Canada.
This property sits just south of Argonaut’s other 100% owned, 177 square kilometre gold property named ‘Terrace’ which has demonstrated bonanza grades of gold, silver and copper.

The two properties leave Argonaut with a very large footprint in this key, mineral rich district.

Ray Cook, president of Argonaut, was quoted in the release saying, “Government geoscientists and geology academics from the University of British Columbia have long compared the Terrace mineral district to the richest gold camp in British Columbia, the Bridge River Gold Camp to the South where the Bralorne and Pioneer Mines produced four million ounces of gold. It is Argonaut's intention to prove them correct."

Argonaut also acknowledged that once the acquisition has been completed Argonaut will begin planning the exploration of the Columario Gold Property.
