Blackstone Resources Acquires Property for 5 GWh Production

Blackstone Resources AG is pleased to announce that with the acquisition of extensive land in Döbeln, Saxony, the way is paved to increase the capacity of the battery factory to the target of 5 GWh annually in three further stages.

Baar, Switzerland | January 21, 2022 -- Blackstone Resources AG (SWX; symbol BLS, ISIN CH0460027110) is pleased to announce that with the acquisition of extensive land in Döbeln, Saxony, the way is paved to increase the capacity of the battery factory to the target of 5 GWh annually in three further stages. "With the purchase of approx. 16,500 m² of land at the site of our subsidiary, Blackstone Technology GmbH, we are once again one step closer to our vision," says a delighted CEO Ulrich Ernst.

On the roadmap according to plan with three milestones:

The extensive gain in space comes at an ideal time for Blackstone. "With this step, we are creating the production capacities that our customers and partners demand," says CMO Serhat Yilmaz. "We can now implement our roadmap according to plan and will swiftly realise the next expansion stages." Following the recently opened production facility in Döbeln, multi-stage expansions are planned for a new gigafactory building up to a preliminary peak capacity of 5 GWh annually.

The first milestone was the start of the production facility with a capacity of 50 MWh. It was reached at the end of 2021 and presented to the international public at a major press conference. Currently, the first products and sample cells are being finalised for various customers and the automotive industry. "The high energy density of our battery cells, their environmental compatibility and the unprecedented flexibility in shaping are particularly valid arguments for our technology.

As a second milestone, the output of the 3D printing facility for lithium battery cells in Döbeln will initially be increased tenfold. "The first intermediate step will increase our total capacity to 500 MWh". The expansion has already begun and will be completed on schedule within the next 12 months.

Finally, the third milestone is scaling up to a 5 GWh annual capacity in 2023-24. A two-story extension to the present battery factory is planned for this purpose. Particularly noteworthy is the small space required for this increased high capacity. We will ask for the building permit for this extension as soon as possible.

Adva Mobile Adds New Auto-Reply Message Option for Creative Artists

Text Marketing service now provides custom autoresponder messages when Fans text specific keywords to Creative Artists’ text numbers

The Adva Mobile platform provides Artists with their own, personal text number, and simplifies the process of building a Fan database by automatically opting in Fans to their mobile text club when Fans text the Artist. Artists can text back to Fans for one – on - one conversations, and also send out targeted text blasts to Fans based on location and other Artist defined Fan segments. What’s new is the ability to craft specific text messages to Fans when they text a specific keyword to the Artist.

As you can see in this example, The Artist Portal helps Artists create either a welcome message for when people DM the Artist, and an auto-reply, based on the keywords of choice.

The simple set-up process enables Artists to enter relevant keywords in a message that will trigger the automated response - so if Artists tell Fans to text “Houston”, for example, the Artist can provide information about their upcoming show in Houston, with a link to where to get tickets. Here’s what it looks like on the Fan’s mobile device:

Artists that want to communicate and engage their fans with text - which are opened and read 97% of the time, far more than email or social media - now have a complete service to take advantage of these mobile technologies. Artists can build their fan base by having Fans text in to their own private text number, converse one on one with their fans, and send text and email blasts to targeted Fans about relevant information including show dates, new music and art, and news. Now, they can promote a show in Houston by having Fans text “Houston” – or anything they create - and deliver a specific, custom message about that show.

It's about the Data

These custom keywords are also “Tags” that are associated with each Fan Profile. This helps Artists segment Fans that texted in “Houston”, and can be used to target these Fans the next time an Artist has a show in Houston. This promotes increased ticket sales, as Fans often miss the news that their favorite band is coming to town. “It's absolutely no fun to miss a concert.” Said Jack Kelly, CEO of Adva Mobile, “And Artists need to keep Fans informed whenever they are going to be in their area, so they never miss another performance again.”

The platform is designed to help identify supporting, paying SuperFans. Artists struggle with their current Fan Database – usually only email - because there is no way to learn which Fans actually buy their Art or come to their shows. Text conversations encourage Fans to share information about themselves, and this data is extremely valuable as it provides Artists with insights about who is supporting their art. “The data belongs to the Artist, and the data is private between Artist and Fan.” said Kelly. “With their personal phone number and our text conversation platform, we provide Artists direct engagement with their Fans, only possible when the Artist is the custodian of their own audience.”

These new capabilities augment the already strong existing Platform which provides Artists with Interactive Web App Landing Pages, Email Marketing, CRM Fan database and campaign creation and management tools. Fan interaction on the Landing Pages is captured and associated with individual Fan Profiles, which help Artists understand engagement and identify which Fans are Superfans and ready to buy. “Pour over your email list and try to identify your supportive, paying Fans, On the Adva Mobile platform, it’s as easy as segmenting by Engagement Score.” said Kelly.

About Adva Mobile: Adva Mobile provides marketing technology and services that helps Creative Artists create closer relationships with their audience. The service aligns Text Marketing, Email Marketing, Responsive Web App and Landing Pages, Storefront, Engagement services and Fan Database management into an integrated mobile marketing services platform.
