TORONTO and NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micromem Technologies Inc.'s (the "Company") (CSE:MRM) (OTCQX:MMTIF) wholly owned subsidiary, Micromem Applied Sensor Technologies Inc. (MAST), announces the Company has successfully completed the first phase of the project announced on October 20, 2014 (www.micromeminc.com).
This milestone completion triggered a payment of $250,000 US by the Client. The Proof of Concept (POC) demonstration scheduled for December, 2014 will demonstrate comparable detector performance to existing bench top units at 100 times its volume. The POC unit is an evolutionary design ultimately leading to an environmentally ruggedized integrated product solution with a final target size of 50 cubic centimeters which is approximately 1/100th the size of current technology.
Both teams have assembled world-class people for this product development. The Company is on track to deliver our desktop POC for end of December, 2014 which will generate an additional milestone payment. As we continue to build experience in delivering prototypes, to go from POC to prototype in less than 3 months is in itself an accomplishment.
