      Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 43.011.136 von Last_Man_Standing am 06.04.12 15:05:01Focus Metals isn’t your traditional mineral explorer. We are a developer, a technology solutions supplier and business innovator. As a technology solutions supplier, our flagship NI 43-101 compliant Lac Knife deposit holds the best technology-grade graphite in the world.

      Focus Metals is developing its own new, environmentally friendly technologies for graphite production and we are partnered with Grafoid Inc., a privately held graphene research, development and
      investment company.

      As a business innovator, Focus Metals finds itself in the unique and enviable position of developing two technology-based discovery and development properties in Quebec.

      As Focus Metals embarks on an acquisition trail, it intends to lead market development. To us, being our own best customer for graphite means assuming a leading role in the coming graphene revolution. Ultimately, we are committed to adding shareholder value through our mine-to-market and our science-to-market enterprises.

      10 Reasons to Own Focus Metals:

      1. Our company holds two properties containing strategically and economically important minerals – graphite and neodymium – needed for green initiatives, and; for European and U.S. national and industrial security.

      2. Economics: Our Lac Knife graphite deposit holds the highest concentration of flake graphite in the world at 16%. With a proven history, it is moving towards production in late 2013. We’ll produce more graphite using less resource than our competitors with an approximate average cost to
      produce of $350/t versus competitor costs of approximately $1,100+/t.

      3. Supply conditions favor Focus Metals. China controls the global market with over 70% of worldwide graphite production and with the United States producing no graphite, security of supply is critical.

      4. Market applications favor the company. Future demand will be driven by green technology initiatives in the Carbon Age – lithium batteries, electronics, construction materials and nuclear energy.

      5. The numbers tell the story. Current world production of graphite is approximately 1.2mt of which 40% is flake graphite. To meet future estimated demand, some 25 new mines would be required by 2020.

      6. Strategic implications will dictate future development. The U.S. and Europe are vulnerable to graphite and neodymium shortages. Both the E.U. and the U.S. Government have designated graphite as a critical mineral.

      7. The Kwyjibo REE property has a strategic partner in the Government of Quebec through SOQUEM, a wholly–owned subsidiary of Investissement Quebec which is responsible for fostering economic development and job creation in Quebec.

      8. The discovery of graphene from graphite will change the way we work, live and play in the future. At one atom thick, it is the strongest material known to science. It conducts electricity better than copper, is transparent, can be shaped to suit any form and can be modified to suit different
      industrial end-uses.

      9. Graphene - the “new silicon” - provides limitless commercial opportunities through Focus Metals’ investment in Grafoid Inc. as a 40% partner. Grafoid invests in, manages, and co-develops application solutions from economically scalable graphene.

      10. Focus Metals is positioned perfectly for long-term growth with the right resources and the right management and staff. We are very well funded and we have the right strategic partners.

      Zitat von Raginghammer: Also für mich ist diese Meldung der Durchbruch für Grafoid:

      At Graphene Supermarket, an online shop, a kilo of pristine graphene costs about $40,000. Richman explained that cheaper graphene, known as graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide, is also being produced, but it is of a lesser quality that is not as conducive or strong as pristine graphene. Along with Grafoid, Focus has the know-how to create inexpensive, pristine graphene.

      Das würde heissen, das Graphene(nicht ganz so hochwertiges Graphene) für den breiten Markt leistbar wird.
      Dieses Graphene könnte dann endlich in den Produkten verbaut werden, ohne den Endpreis des Produktes zu sprengen.
      Jetzt fehlt nur noch die offizielle Meldung von Grafoid.

      Wie seht ihr das Ganze?

      By Karan Kumar — Exclusive to Graphite Investing News

      Graphene, derived from graphite, is touted as the wonder material of the 21st century. Composed of carbon atoms arranged in tightly-bound hexagons just one atom thick, it is the strongest material ever measured, about 200 to 300 times stronger than steel. It conducts electricity, is one of the most lightweight materials known to man, and researchers say the material will have a profound impact on several industries, including autos, airlines, electronics, batteries, and beyond. Many researchers say that graphene is most likely to replace silicon.

      The miracles of graphene, however, are still only being seen in laboratories. Chris Berry, founder of House Mountain Partners, which conducts research on the commodity and energy markets, told Resource Investing News in an interview, “I am not aware of any widespread commercial use of graphene by any firms.”

      Berry added that “it’s possible” that graphene could replace silicon, but added, “I want to stress that these are very early days with graphene and associated research. It appears that graphene can bypass the challenge of making smaller chips as it’s a good conductor of electricity, but I’m not prepared to state that I think graphene will replace silicon any time soon. Price is also a factor.”

      Rudy Richman, director of business development at Focus Metals Inc. (TSXV:FMS,OTC Pink:FCSMF), a diversified Canadian miner, said his company and its 40 percent partner Grafoid Inc. will be ready to start a pilot graphene plant in two to three months. Focus will provide graphite to Grafoid, which will manufacture the graphene to ship to labs and companies involved in research and development.

      Focus Metals’ cheap graphene intentions

      “We can be in full production of larger quantities within a year,” Richman told Resource Investing News in an interview. “Grafoid believes the cost of graphene needs to come down drastically in order for its use to become ubiquitous in the marketplace and for applications to benefit from the science. We believe we have the process to do so.”

      In March, Focus Metals announced the completion of a $500,000 loan to Grafoid in connection with Grafoid’s work in transforming graphite into graphene on a commercial scale, using primarily raw unprocessed graphite ore from Focus’ Lac Knife project.

      At Graphene Supermarket, an online shop, a kilo of pristine graphene costs about $40,000. Richman explained that cheaper graphene, known as graphene oxide or reduced graphene oxide, is also being produced, but it is of a lesser quality that is not as conducive or strong as pristine graphene. Along with Grafoid, Focus has the know-how to create inexpensive, pristine graphene. “Our method is economically and ecologically viable. We are going to throw down the gauntlet for others to do the same.” He did not give details.

      Graphene’s market potential could be huge, with applications for the material being announced nearly daily. It is expected to change semiconductors, LCD touch screens and monitors, transistors, energy storage, solar cells, and more. The graphite industry is excited about the future of the G-word, but questions still loom about its price.

      Graphene economics unclear

      Berry said that the “economics surrounding graphene are unclear to me as much of what is known about graphene production is patented or a trade secret. There are several junior mining companies that are supplying ore from their deposits to end users to test graphene, but I have yet to hear of any widely successful attempts. The mining companies are going in this direction to learn more about graphene production and take advantage of any potential intellectual property advancements they can using their ore and the knowledge base of a partner.”

      Northern Graphite Corp. (TSXV:NGC,OTC Pink:NGPHF) said in February that it will supply extra large flake graphite to Grafen Chemical Industries for graphene research. Northern also entered a deal to develop intellectual property rights, and will retain a 50 percent interest in the North American patent rights to any products and processes developed by Grafen.

      One of the concerns about the graphite industry is that more than 70 percent of the mineral is produced in China, and the country’s graphite producers are calling on the government to allow graphite the same protection as rare earth. If that were to happen, a disruption in graphite supply could send prices higher.

      “Much of the intellectual property and ‘know-how’ surrounding graphene – how it’s manufactured and its uses – exists outside of China, so it’s important for graphite mines outside of China to come on-stream soon to ensure a ready and steady supply of raw materials for end users in western countries and researchers involved with graphene,” Berry said.

      According to a market analysis by research firm Technavio, investing in graphene is forecasted to produce a compound annual growth rate of 58.7 percent from 2015 t0 2020. The report points out that the main area of concern currently lies in the high cost of producing graphene.

      Despite the hurdles, companies and governments are pumping billions of dollars into graphene research in the hope that they can benefit from the wonder material. Nearly 200 firms, including Intel, IBM, BASF, and Samsung, are invested in graphene research. The European Union and South Korea each have a $1.5 billion initiative to build industrial-scale display materials using graphene as a substitute for indium tin oxide. And the UK government last year granted 50 million pounds to the University of Manchester to create a technology hub to commercialize graphene.

      Wahnsinn wie FMS heute gegen den Strom schwimmt, aktuell +1,8% und das an einem blutroten Tag wie heute. Ich denke die nächste Pressemitteilung wird es in sich haben. Ich gehe davon aus, dass wir bis Mitte nächste Woche, also vor der Graphenkonferenz mehr wissen.
