Patriot One Technologies (PAT) is partnering with ecoMine Technologies, to help in the fight against COVID-19.

EcoMine Technologies primarily focuses on technology with mineral processing applications. However, ecoMine is developing low-cost, on-the-spot technology that can screen for pathogens. 

Under the partnership, Patriot One will assist to advance this technology, so that it can screen for COVID-19. 

Canada’s Digital Technology Supercluster has chosen ecoMine and its technology as a feasibility project the Supercluster’s COVID-19 program. This will enable the proof-of-concept development and prototyping of COVID-19 antigen screens. 

These screens will be integrated into a secure digital platform, providing a tool ensuring workplace health and public safety. If successfully developed, ecoMine’s technology platform could potentially help facilitate a safe return to work across various sectors. 

In addition to screening for COVID-19, the technology may also have a broad range of other pathogen detection applications. 

Patriot One’s CEO, Martin Cronin, commented on the company’s new partnership with ecoMine, and its possible outcomes.

“We are delighted to be working with ecoMine, which is allowing us to carry out our mission to create safer communities by detecting threats facing our global citizens.

“This on-the-spot screening solution – ecoScreen – is highly innovative and has the potential to become a significant element within our expanding PATSCAN Platform and will assist our resellers and their end client users to build safe environments within their facilities,” he said. 

Patriot One Technologies (PAT) is up 2.48 per cent and is trading at C$1.24 per share at 12:10pm EDT.
