Graphite Blog - alles zum Thema Graphit auf WO - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[rolleg]

Ich eröffne hier mal einen allgemeinen Thread zum Thema Graphit.
Die "Regeln" von hier: http://www.wallstreet-online.de/diskussion/1172052-1-10/noob… sollen auch hier gelten!

Vorab erst einmal ein paar allgemeine Infos (ohne Garantie auf Vollständigkeit - das soll/wird hier ergänzt werden):

Rohstoff-Experte Lifton: Graphit ist der nächste heiße Trend

Laut Lifton ist Graphit über Jahre hinweg als ein langweiliger Industrierohstoff angesehen worden, der hauptsächlich für die Produktion von Bleistiften eingesetzt worden ist. Immerhin hat es dann noch modernere Anwendungen wie Golfschläger oder auch Tennisschläger gegeben. Doch das war es dann auch.

Lifton weist nun ganz klar darauf hin, dass diese Zeiten vorbei sind. So hat allein der Nachfrageanstieg aus der Automobil- und Stahlindustrie für ein jährliches Wachstum von 5% gesorgt. Im Zuge dessen hat sich der Graphitpreis in den vergangenen Jahren verdreifacht.

Es sind eben sehr viele neue Anwendungen mit hinzugekommen. Dazu gehören Lithium-Ionen-Akkus, Brennstoffzellen und auch der Einsatz bei der Solar- und Atomenergie. Und je größer die Bandbreite der Anwendungen wird, desto größer wird auch der Druck auf das Angebot. Und das stammt derzeit zu 70% aus China.

Hier kommt nun die Parallele zu den Seltenen Erden ins Spiel. Und genau in diesem Sektor hat sich Jack Lifton in den vergangenen Jahren einen Namen gemacht.

Lifton sieht hier die gleiche Gefahr wie bei den Seltenen Erden: China benötigt immer mehr der begehrten Rohstoffe selbst. Das wird das Angebot für die industriellen Kunden außerhalb Chinas weiter einengen.

Also muss es auch bei Graphit darum gehen, neue Vorkommen außerhalb Chinas in die Produktion zu bringen. Und genau das passiert aktuell auch.

"Die hohe Bedeutung von Graphit und die möglichen Engpässe bei der Versorgung sind schon von den USA und auch von der EU anerkannt worden, in dem der Rohstoff zu einem angebotskritischen Rohstoff erklärt worden ist.

Erst kürzlich wurde Graphit zudem vom British Geological Survey hinsichtlich der möglichen Versorgungsengpässe direkt hinter die Seltenen Erden und noch deutlich vor Lithium eingestuft", erklärt Lifton.

Graphit: Relativ einfache Exploration und Entwicklung der Vorkommen
Doch im Gegensatz zu den Seltenen Eden bietet dieser Sektor für Investoren einige Vorteile: Dazu gehört auf jeden Fall der einfachere Abbau der Vorkommen. Oft liegen die Vorkommen oberflächennah und können im Tagebau abgebaut werden.

Zusätzlich ist auch der Aufbau der Produktion deutlich einfacher als bei den Seltenen Erden. Ein Unternehmen wie Northern Graphite kann vom aktuellen Status des Explorers schon bis Mitte 2013 zum Produzenten werden.

Dazu sind auch nur Investitionen von weniger als 100 Mio. Dollar notwendig. Auch das ist gering im Vergleich zu den Seltenen Erden.

Noch ist der Kreis der Graphit-Explorer überschaubar – selbst in Kanada. Dazu gehören Unternehmen wie Northern Graphite, Strike Graphite, Focus Metals und auch Standard Graphite um nur einige zu nennen.

Goodbye indium-tin oxide, Hello GraphExeter (a.k.a graphene)

A new graphene-based material developed at Exeter University in Britain could supersede indium tin oxide in electronic devices.

According to a press release from the University of Exeter, “the most transparent, lightweight and flexible material ever for conducting electricity has been invented by a team from the University of Exeter.”

They’ve called it GraphExeter and the announcement says the material could revolutionize the creation of wearable electronic devices, such as clothing containing computers, phones, and MP3 players. GraphExeter could also be used for the creation of "smart" mirrors or windows, with computerised interactive features. Since this material is also transparent over a wide light spectrum, it could enhance by more than 30% the efficiency of solar panels.

Adapted from graphene, GraphExeter is much more flexible than indium tin oxide, the main conductive material currently used in electronics. ITO is becoming increasingly expensive and is a finite resource, expected to run out in 2017.

To create GraphExeter, the Exeter team sandwiched molecules of ferric chloride between two layers of graphene. Ferric chloride enhances the electrical conductivity of graphene, without affecting the material’s transparency. The material was produced by a team from the University of Exeter’s Centre for Graphene Science. The research team is now developing a spray-on version of GraphExeter, which could be applied straight on to fabrics, mirrors, and windows.

Dr Monica Craciun, lead researcher from Exeter University said: “Another beauty of the GraphExeter is this material is transparent over a much wider light spectrum than the typical transparent conductor,’ said Craciun. ‘In other words, if implemented in a solar panel, the GraphExeter would allow energy to be harvested over a much wider range of light than what is currently exploited, boosting the efficiency of solar panels by more than 30 per cent.”

A report in the venerable magazine The Engineer (it was founded in 1856) notes that, until now graphene has been unable to replace the most widespread transparent conductor in optoelectronic applications, indium tin oxide, due to its relatively poor conductivity.

http://thenewswire.ca/archives?tnwarchive2=release_id=6608

Hallo rolleg,
auf diesen Schritt habe ich gewartet. Man konzentriert sich jetzt nur noch auf die Exploration des Graphit-Projekts "Graphite Creek", welches wahrscheinlich das größte oder zumindest eines der größten Graphit-Projekte weltweit werden dürfte.
"150 to 250 million tonnes of graphite-bearing rock" ", Samples mit 56.9% graphite ... hier sollte es sich um eine Graphit-Lagerstätte handeln, welche einmalig auf diesem Globus sein dürfte!

Die Exploration befindet sich hier aber noch in einem frühen Stadium, weshalb Graphit One nur einen Teil meines Depots ausmacht und Strike Graphit, welche derzeit bohren derzeit noch den anderen Teil...

Don't Tip the Balance on Graphite Supply: Stephen Riddle

Source: Sally Lowder of The Critical Metals Report (5/29/12)

Stephen Riddle Asbury Carbons CEO Stephen Riddle, the fourth-generation Riddle to run the 118-year-old company that bills itself as "the world's carbon and graphite source," is delighted to see sources of natural graphite resurfacing outside of China now that the commodity's price justifies investment in exploration and production. However, in this exclusive interview with The Critical Metals Report, Riddle tells us he's not convinced the buzz about exploding demand is justified—in fact, he worries overzealous producers may tip the balance toward too much supply.

Fundamental Research sees "long-term upside" in Focus Graphite
Wednesday, June 13, 2012 by Joyanta Acharjee

Fundamental Research has initiated coverage on Focus Graphite (CVE:FMS)(OTCQX:FCSMF) with a "Buy" rating and sees the stock fairly valued at $1.21.

Focus Graphite is focused on development of the 100 percent-owned Lac Knife graphite project in Quebec.

The deposit has several significant upsides including very high grades, a good quantity of large flake and is located in a region with well-established infrastructure. At 15.7% Cgr (carbon as graphite), Lac Knife is the highest known graphite deposit grade in the world.

"We are extremely encouraged by this estimate which, we believe is the highest grade graphite deposit in the world," Fundamental Research analyst Siddharth Rajeev said in a note.

Metallurgical testing shows the deposit contains 46.1 percent large flake and 39 percent medium flake with a global recovery rate of 85.9 percent. Large flake graphite is the most valuable form of graphite.

Flake graphite has been experiencing increasing demand for the primary reason that only flake graphite can be used for high-growth applications such as Li-ion lithium batteries, fuel cells, and nuclear reactors.

Flake graphite, and especially large flake graphite, is the most desirable and therefore, the most expensive, Fundamental Research said.

In December 2011, Focus Graphite released the first NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for the property.

Using a cut-off grade of 5% Cgr, the estimate gives 4.9 million tonnes at a grade of 15.67% Cgr in the Measured and Indicated category, and 3 million tonnes grading 15.58% Cgr in the Inferred category.

The large amount of historical work on the property has allowed Focus to expedite project development, and production is due to start in 2014 and has a capacity to produce up to 25,000 tonnes per year, with a 40 year mine life.

"We are encouraged by the production scenario put forward by management and anticipate release of the PEA in June. We consider the prospect for a 2014 start date to offer significant medium to long term upside," Fundamental's Rajeev said.

Focus Graphite recently signed a license agreement with Hydro-Quebec to develop a graphite purification facility and a graphite anode production facility for lithium-ion batteries.

As at the end of March 2012, the company had cash and short-term investments of $26 million.

"The company’s strong cash position, we believe, will easily take them through the next 12 months," the Fundamental Research analyst said.

Montezuma Mining Company seeks to realise value of graphite project
Friday, June 15, 2012 by Christine Feary

With graphite heating up, Montezuma has signed an option to purchase agreement that could see the company free carried through to a decision to mine at the Yalbra Graphite Project With graphite heating up, Montezuma has signed an option to purchase agreement that could see the company free carried through to a decision to mine at the Yalbra Graphite Project

Montezuma Mining Company (ASX: MZM) has reached an agreement for the sale of a majority stake in the Yalbra Graphite Project in Western Australia.

Buxton Resources (ASX: BUX) has acquired a three month option to purchase 85% of the Yalbra project.

Consideration for the option is $5,000 cash, with a further $5,000 to be paid if the offer is extended by three months.

If the sale proceeds, Buxton will issue 1 million shares to Montezuma in consideration for the 85% interest in Yalbra. Based on Buxton's current share price, this equates to about $95,000.

Montezuma will retain a 15% free-carried interest up to a decision to mine, following which the company can elect to contribute on a pro-rata basis or dilute to a 1% gross revenue royalty...

Triton Gold dials into graphite, same mineral province as Syrah Resources's Mozambique deposit
http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/30339/tr…

[razim]

wieviele neue Graphitminen sind notwendig um den Nachfrageschub bis 2010 zu befriedigen?

ich glaube das die größte Graphitmine momentan ca. 20000t fördern!!

[razim]

soll natürlich 2020 heißen!!!

[combatiente]

Ca. 20 neue Minen mit einem durchschn. Ausstoß von ~ 20.000t pro Jahr sind bis 2015 nötig, um die Nachfrage zu befriedigen und dem Angebotsrückgang in Fernost zu trotzen (Chinesen wollen über 200 Minen still legen).. China produziert jedoch großteils nur minderwertiges Graphitkonzentrat.

Deswegen muss man vor allem auf die Qualität des produzierte Graphits achten. Nur das hochwertigste Graphitkonzentrat (Large Flake, Jumbo Flake etc.) wird den Unternehmen helfen, nette Margen zu erzielen. Weiter kann man mit dem hochwertigen Zeug nach speziellen Verarbeitungsprozessen auch Kathoden, Carbon u.ä. Hightechstoffe herstellen. Diese haben den höchsten Preis und wirken sich demnach wieder sehr positiv auf die Margen aus.

Flinders starts reprocessing graphite at the Kringel Mine in Sweden

Highlights include:

- The back end of the Kringel processing plant has been successfully restarted and production of graphite from stockpiled material is underway. The entire supply (500 tonnes) of stockpiled material has been sold to German customers and the first shipment is expected to occur in September.
- Dewatering of the Kringel pit has commenced. Once the pit has been emptied, mining of ore may begin.
- Two 500kg bulk samples of fresh graphite ore from the Kringel deposit have been extracted and sent to Metso Corporation ("Metso"), a global mineral engineering and processing technology company, for grinding tests to optimize processing parameters.
- Drilling of additional holes at the Kringel deposit to enable deeper graphite zones to be included in the NI43-101 resource calculation has concluded. Further assay results will be announced shortly. The NI43-101 resource calculation at the Kringel deposit is now expected mid to late September due to drill mechanical issues that led to a 5 week overrun of the additional drilling program.

[combatiente]

Dazu passend ein Update vom CEO von Northern Graphite von heute. Denke dieses hat für zusätzlichen Kaufdruck gesorgt:

The Chinese government recently proposed a set of rules that would restrict new graphite mines in China to those producing at least 500,000 tonnes of ore per annum and that meet a number of other operational, quality and environmental standards. Assuming most would have a grade between 5 and 10% (being largely amorphous and small flake), new mines would have produce at least 20,000 tonnes of graphite per annum. According to Roskill’s 2009 graphite report, there are about 160 graphite mining operations in China but less than 20 are currently this size.

It is going to be much more difficult to build new graphite mines in China and most expect its existing production base to decline due to the effects of many years of high grading, the consolidation or elimination of smaller producers, and improvements in labor and environmental standards. This is already happening with many other metals and minerals and the government’s attention is increasingly turning to graphite. This is the third major graphite supply related announcement out of China this year. The other two are attached for reference. Interestingly, low prices may speed up the process as China does not want to sell its resources cheaply to the rest of the world, especially when there are large environmental costs involved in doing so, and they increase the pressure from industry to deal with illegal mining.

So far, none of the major graphite players or Li ion battery manufacturers have done much to encourage increased supply outside of China but we believe it will happen and our focus remains on negotiating strategic partnership/offtake agreement(s). There are very few development stage graphite companies and Northern is the only one that has disclosed complete independent, feasibility level confirmation of reserves and resources, capital and operating costs, metallurgy, flake size distribution, carbon content of concentrates, etc. As this information becomes available for other projects, we believe our competitive position will strengthen.

Best regards,
Greg

Sehr interessant, bei Syrah ist es nun äußerst spannend. Die stehen vor der Bestätigung der größten Graphitdiscovery in Afrika. Sind bei TON schon weitere Vorgehenspläne bekannt? Der Hype als 'area player' ist natürlich schick und wird bei der Bewertung natürlich richtig ziehen, aber schon bald werden Fakten in den Fokus rücken. Zwar sind die Liegenschaften 2km von den SYR-Liegenschaften entfernt, jedoch sind es viele weitere Kilometer bis zur Discovery Zone, d.h. man kann nicht mal annähernd darauf spekulieren, dass sich die geologischen Trends in diese Richtung fortsetzen. Heißt weiter, dass TON gefordert ist..

auszug ausm EGZ- update zum molo- JV- proj. mit austr. MGY.........



Targeting Low Cost Production

Energizer's Molo deposit possesses four key attributes that set it apart from other deposits in the world and position it to be a potential low-cost production model for the industry. These include:

An excellent topographical setting. The Molo deposit rests in a flat and semi-arid environment, with no environmental issues. With the deposit immediately at surface, operations can be optimized through little to no stripping requirements and easy access to site.

An ideal geographic location. The Molo deposit is uniquely located in the centre of the hub of key graphite demand markets of China, India, South Korea and Japan. Furthermore, the Molo deposit is in close proximity to specialty-finishing battery producers in both Korea and Japan. Currently, China must send almost all of its spherical cut graphite (required for batteries) to both Korea and Japan for specialty coating, which is the final, and very complex, process to produce battery-grade graphite.

At 100 million tonnes and an average grade greater than 6% carbon, the Molo would be the world's largest known single source deposit of high-grade graphite. In addition, the Molo deposit possesses a unique metallurgical characteristic that allows simple mechanical separation of the graphite up to 93% without flotation.

Nachhaltig geht eh erst was, wenn der ganze Sektor wieder anzieht.

Bin bei beiden nicht mehr aufm Laufenden, von daher würde ich den halten, der am weitesten fortgeschritten ist (vom Projekt her), am meisten Kohle hat und das höhere Volumen am Heimatmarkt hat.
Da die Faktoren in der Regel zusammenspielen, sollte da recht eindeutig einer der beiden rausfallen.

Hi MONSIEURCB,

Kongo-Otto hat ja schon geantwortet. Ich würde aus den genannten Gründen auch NGC favorisieren. Kommt allerdings auch ein bisschen darauf an, was Du damit bezweckst. Sind die Werte alle im roten Bereich und Du willst evtl. aus steuerlichen Gründen mal Verluste realisieren? Denn der Zeitpunkt ist in meinen Augen nicht der Beste.
Die meisten Graphitwerte haben ja mächtig verloren. Ich bin bei FMS und SRK dabei und beide sind dicke rot (wobei SRK auch wirklich sehr spekulativ ist).

Ich persönlich würde noch die nächsten wichtigen Entscheidungen der EZB und des BVG abwarten. Wenn diese entsprechend ausfallen, kann ich mir vorstellen, dass auch Graphitwerte wieder deutlich zulegen werden (weil dann vermutlich die Risikobereitschaft deutlich zunehmen sollte).

The Market for Graphite Has Not Gone Away; It Is Merely Taking a Nap

Korean scientists have developSleeping Demanded a battery that could revolutionize the portable electronics market. The battery has the appearance e of the commonly used lithium-ion batteries; however, the new battery is made up of nano-particles drenched in a graphite solution at the central core. As the current flows, the graphite helps to increase conductivity and the charging speed. The researchers found that this new graphite battery can achieve a full charge, through a normal
domestic socket, at a rate anywhere from 30 to 120 times faster than a
currently available Li-ion battery. This means that a cell phone battery that normally needs at least 2-3 hours to charge, could achieve a similar charge in anywhere from six minutes to less than one minute. The advantage over other fast-charging batteries is that the new graphite battery is also able to retain the charge: a minute or two for a 12 hour charge is a rather practical proposition. This new graphite battery is not yet ready for commercial distribution, nor is it known whether or not it will even make it into production. However, it does highlight the potential for the graphite market for batteries alone; not just electronics, car batteries are expected to see multi-fold demand. Graphite prices have dropped from up to USD$ 3,000/ton to USD$ 2,000/ton or less. These are still remarkable prices in the historical price context for graphite, which has typically been closer to USD$ 700 than not.

The Great Graphite Supply Shakeup: Simon Moores
Source: Alec Gimurtu of The Critical Metals Report (9/25/12)

Investors who remember the lithium boom (and bust) a few years ago may be twice shy to enter a space with big upside potential tied to electric vehicles. But the parallels between graphite and lithium are superficial, insists Simon Moores, analyst with Industrial Minerals. Graphite, unlike lithium, supplies layers of demand, with reliable end-users in the steel industry. Meanwhile, China's production lull is making way for market entrants. In this exclusive interview with The Critical Metals Report, Moores profiles graphite miners around the world competing for the market's attention.

The OSC had advised the Company that it was of the view that Focus had disclosed, in numerous documents, the outcomes on a study that includes the economic analysis of the potential viability of mineral resources on the Project that is not supported by a technical report as required by National Instrument in 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The Company subsequently issued a news release announcing that it had clarified the disclosure on the Project (see press release dated September 10, 2012). The management cease trade order will remain in place until lifted by the OSC upon application by the Company following the filing of a current NI 43-101 compliant technical report on the Project.

Until the MCTO is lifted, Focus will comply with the alternative information guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 - Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified continuous disclosure requirement within the times prescribed by applicable securities laws. The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports by way of a news release so long as the current NI 43-101 compliant technical report has not been filed. As announced in its September 10th news release, the Company is scheduled to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment on the Project within the next few weeks.

Neuer Artikel über die Zukunftsaussichten von Graphene

Graphene Semiconductors in 5 Years

Posted on September 30, 2012 by Graeme Irvine

The researchers are hoping to have the new semiconductor hybrid materials on the commercial market in roughly five years.

Norwegians aren’t amongst the world’s natural braggers and boasters, tending to practical solutions dull understatement, and quiet reserve, yet last week’s announcement by a team of researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) that they have become the first in the world to devise a way to make cheap semiconductors from 21st century super-material graphene, brought about a U-turn for the standard Norwegian understatement. I think their “revolution” is just the first of many to come..

Carbon Based Organic Catalyst Fuel Cells

Posted on October 8, 2012 by Graeme Irvine

Why would you want to make a carbon nanotube based, organic catalyst, for use in developing environment friendly alternative energy fuel cells? Well cost is the simple answer. Current catalysts all involve using alloys of the highly corrosion resistant noble metals, especially platinum. Many of the noble metals are also precious metals, so cost quickly becomes a determining issue as to cost efficiency. The noble metals, silver aside, are all relatively rare, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense to base a 21st century fuel cell industry on noble metals. Carbon on the other hand, is capable of supplying a 21st century fuel cell growth industry..

Graphit: Verschnaufpause vor dem nächsten Anstieg?

Liebe Leser,

Anfang 2012 hieß der heißeste Markt bei den Rohstoffen Graphit.
Ich erinnere mich noch gut an die Vancouver Resource Show im Januar.

Dort tauchten wie aus dem Nichts auf einmal zahlreiche Graphitaktien auf. In nur wenigen Monaten fanden verschiedene auf Graphit spezialisierte Konferenzen in Nordamerika statt.

Ganz klar: Hier hatte die Rohstoffbranche einen neuen Trend kreiert. Doch die Graphitpreise konnten bei dem Boom nicht mithalten. Vom Januar bis Mai gaben die Preise bei vielen Graphitqualitäten zwischen 15 und 20% nach.

Das sorgte dann auch speziell im ausgehenden Frühjahr für kräftige Abstürze bei einigen Werten aus der Branche. Doch zuvor waren viele aussichtsreiche Explorer wie Northern Graphite oder Focus Graphite in nur wenigen Monaten auch um mehr als 100% gestiegen.

Die Story klang und klingt auch noch sehr lukrativ: Bei Graphit geht es wieder um einen speziellen Rohstoff, bei dem China den Weltmarkt kontrolliert. Das erinnert eben stark an den Markt der Seltenen Erden. Hier hat China aktuell eine Marktdominanz von mehr als 90%. Beim Graphit es ist immerhin eine Dominanz von 78%.

Aber dieser Markt ist dann doch deutlich fragmentierter als der Markt für Seltene Erden. Beim Graphit kommt es ganz stark auf die gelieferte Qualität an.

Für viele einfache Anwendungen in der Stahlindustrie wird nur qualitativ minderwertiges Graphit benötigt davon gibt es weltweit genug. Die große Fantasie ergibt sich aus dem großflockigen Graphit für die hochwertigen Anwendungen.
Neue Graphit-Anwendungen müssen sich noch durchsetzen

Aber dieser Sektor muss sich erst noch entwickeln. Die größten Nachfragetreiber sind in den kommenden Jahren auf jeden Fall der weitere bedarf in Lithium-Ionen-Batterien, wie sie verstärkt in Elektrofahrzeugen zum Einsatz kommen.

Und dann steht noch die Ausbreitung der Kugelhaufenreaktoren im Raum. Bei dieser speziellen Nutzung der Atomenergie werden großen Mengen Graphit benötigt. Doch bislang steht diese Technologie noch nicht vor dem technischen Durchbruch.

Also ist vieles bei der Graphit-Story doch auf positive Entwicklungen in der Zukunft aufgebaut. Und das bringt eben auch das Risiko bei den Aktien in diesem Sektor. Hier die Spreu vom Weizen zu trennen, ist nicht so einfach.

Ein Weg ist es auf jeden Fall eben eher auf fortgeschrittene Unternehmen zu setzen, die schon Chancen haben, auch in den nächsten beiden Jahren eine erfolgreiche Produktion zu starten.

Denn hier besteht ein sehr großer Unterschied zu den Seltenen Erden: Während bei diesen speziellen Rohstoffen die Entwicklung eines Vorkommens gut und gerne acht bis zehn Jahre dauern kann, ist der Aufbau einer erfolgreichen Graphitproduktion in drei Jahren schon möglich.

Erfolgreiche Investments

Nanoporous Graphene Ranked Among Top Five Surprising Scientific Milestones of 2012
Posted on January 10, 2013 by Jeff Altman

January 10, 2013 (Source: AZoNano.com) — Smithsonian magazine recently ranked nanoporous graphene, a novel material for water desalination developed in MIT’s Department of Materials Science & Engineering, in its ranking for the top five surprising scientific milestones of 2012.

Nanoporous graphene is a one-atom-thick form of carbon with tiny holes that can block salt ions while letting water molecules through, enabling the production of potable water from the world’s virtually limitless supply of seawater. The new graphene membrane was first proposed last June by MIT graduate student David Cohen-Tanugi and Jeffrey C. Grossman, the Carl Richard Soderberg Associate Professor of Power Engineering in MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, in the journal Nano Letters.

“Using materials science to find solutions to water challenges is unusual. We’re bringing a new perspective to this problem,” Grossman says.

Thanks to its atomic thickness and well-defined hole structure, nanoporous graphene could reduce the cost and energy footprint of water desalination. In its ranking, Smithsonian magazine mused that nanoporous graphene might one day provide “a way to solve many of the world’s water problems once and for all.”

The ranking is published yearly on Smithsonian’s Surprising Science blog. Other top awardees for 2012 included the Higgs Boson and NASA’s Curiosity mission to Mars.

The project was funded by a seed grant from the MIT Energy Initiative and by a Schlumberger-MIT Energy Fellowship.

Mr. Frederick Sveinson reports

VALTERRA CHANNEL SAMPLES 36.8% C(G) OVER 1.5M AND EXPANDS HIGH GRADE GRAPHITE DISCOVERY ZONE AT BOBCAYGEON

Valterra Resource Corp.'s recent surface and trench sampling is confirming the high-grade nature of the Bobcaygeon graphite property, located 130 kilometres due northeast of Toronto. Ground EM-MAG-IP geophysical surveys have been completed on 60% of the 11 line-kilometre grid and the preliminary IP chargeability within the Discovery Zone area has outlined an open-ended, near surface anomaly covering 480m x 350m, plus additional nearby features and other zones of potential interest have been detected. Additional ground has been staked, bringing the Valterra holdings to over 140 sq. km. The company is planning a near-term diamond drill program and a more extensive regional exploration program to further evaluate the large property package.

The discovery trench opened in December identified a 20m lateral exposure of high grade graphite with trenching bottoming in graphite suggesting a minimum thickness of this lens at 1.5m. The trenching yielded highlighted assay results from 7.76% C(g) to 36.8% C(g).

Graphite Stock Strategies for a Second Bubble: David Skarica

http://www.businessinsider.com/graphite-stock-strategies-for…

he Metals Report: Graphite is a commodity that investors have a tough time pricing. Where do you go to get graphite price information? Or does the price even matter?

David Skarica: With graphite, you have to look at the big picture story. There is no exchange-based market. There is no graphite traded on London Metals Exchange. Instead, you have to understand the long-term, underlying fundamentals and the supply/demand picture. The demand picture is this: A lot of high-tech products use graphite—especially rechargeable batteries for cars and electronics. In addition, carbon fiber is a source of demand because a lot of cars in the future will use carbon fiber to save weight. The new Boeing 787 jumbo jet uses significant carbon fiber to reduce weight and save on fuel. Carbon fiber is used extensively in military equipment. Demand for carbon in these unique applications will be growing.

The supply of graphite is dominated by China, which controls over 70% of the world market. There is a risk that China will remove some export graphite from the market. This is similar to the situation that has already happened with rare earth element (REE) supply. Similarly, Russia has a dominant position in the palladium market and can use that position to suit its strategic and business goals. China may try something similar with graphite.

TMR: Rare earths can't be synthesized, but graphite derivatives like graphene can be made synthetically from fossil fuel carbon sources. Is that a concern to you?

DS: It's not a huge concern. Even if synthetic graphite supply increases, there's a certain elastic demand for the products that graphite is used in. We all thought that if oil got high enough, we might be running our cars on natural gas, and that hasn't exactly happened. On the other hand, the European Union and the U.S. have stated that graphite is a strategic material for national defense. We are seeing increased graphite production in the U.S. and Canada as a result. That's another reason to be bullish on the sector. Solid demand and limited supply is creating bullish pricing fundamentals. Even if the price dropped 20–30% from its current levels, it would be economic to produce in most cases. Every country wants to produce more graphite. If graphite becomes more strategic, governments could buy it directly from the producers. There are a lot of reasons to like the graphite story right now.

TMR: Everything you said makes sense to me. It probably made sense to a lot of other people two years ago. That's why we had a hot market in graphite stocks a couple of years ago. What is different now?

DS: It's still very early in the graphite market. I call these mini-bubbles or maybe a prelude to a bubble. We saw this in uranium in the mid-2000s. In that market, former gold stocks would rebrand themselves as uranium explorers and some went up tenfold. Graphite probably will turn into a bubble. Even though I'm talking about these long-term fundamentals, investors will probably want to sell their graphite holdings in two years. Even though the long-term fundamentals are going to be good for five, 10 or 15 years, you may never see the prices of some of these companies hit those highs again. Even uranium companies had these big, 100%+ run-ups, then corrections of 40, 50 or 60%. Then the stocks would bottom and you'd have another big run-up. You're probably going to see a few of these types of run-ups in the future.

Keep in mind that you have to be very selective with graphite. First, most of the companies are not big companies. Second, there are quite a few companies that have a realistic shot at production. For investors, I consider it a better playing field than uranium was in the mid-2000s. The uranium market had far higher barriers to entry because of the cost of uranium mine building and regulation. In this way, many of the graphite companies are much more realistic. Right now, most graphite names are still cheap, being priced at the same depressed levels as the rest of the mining industry. The risk-reward is positive at the current level. You just have to do your research, find a couple of solid companies and then go from there.

TMR: Do you have a couple of companies you have your eyes on?

DS: Yes. I'm a consultant to and a shareholder of Alabama Graphite Co. (ALP:CNSX). I visited the property in Alabama in November. Among the management, I like President, CEO and Director Daniel Spine. He runs a hedge fund and is very knowledgeable about the mining industry. He's good on the finance side and can successfully raise money. Alabama is a good jurisdiction with a pro-business climate. The mine is located in an economically depressed region and the local community needs the jobs the mine will bring. I don't anticipate social or environmental challenges in the area. Infrastructure is good; it is about two hours from the Atlanta airport. Site access is only a 10-minute drive off a paved road to the property, which has power. Most of the infrastructure is in place.

The company's main challenge is financing. Currently, Alabama Graphite is listed on the Canadian National Stock Exchange. The company plans to move to the Toronto Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange in the future. Recently, the company had solid exploration results. Alabama Graphite is moving toward production. When I visited the site, there was a lot of activity. Alabama is moving ahead of schedule, which is rare to see at a mining property. The company is aiming to begin production in approximately two years.

Another positive with Alabama is the resource grade and the quality of its product. The higher-quality flakes can sell for $2,500/ton, while the lower-quality graphite can go for as little as $500–600/ton. The grade of the deposit is approximately 5% graphite. The quality of Alabama's deposit is high, with average prices expected to be between $1,600–1,700/ton.

TMR: Who would Alabama's consumers or customers be? Would those be domestic consumers?

DS: It could be Boeing. It could be Tesla. It could even be the U.S. government for military applications.

TMR: Are there any other companies you follow?

DS: Another company I follow is Mason Graphite Inc. (LLG:TSX.V). Its deposit is located in Quebec. Mason is an interesting story, especially on the management side. The grades are 6–7% graphite, compared to a typical mine grade of 3%. The quality is high, selling at prices up to $2,500/ton. The CEO is Benoît Gascon, formerly the CEO of Stratmin Graphite. He has the unusual experience, for a North American, of putting graphite deposits into production.

Mason compares very well based on fundamentals with Flinders Resources Ltd. (FDR:TSX.V) or Northern Graphite Corporation (NGC:TSX.V; NGPHF:OTCQX). Based on cash flow, grade and resource size, Mason is undervalued. The current price of $0.85/share is attractive. Mason is under the umbrella of Forbes & Manhattan group, which enables access to capital and connections. Lastly, it is just getting started trading—yet another reason to like it.

I still like Northern Graphite. I was invested in Northern Graphite when it was called Industrial Minerals and traded on the OTC. However, newer companies—like Alabama and Mason—don't have the overhang that comes from owners that might have bought near the top of the last pre-bubble and are still holding on and wanting to sell.

TMR: Besides graphite, you are interested uranium. What do you like about uranium in 2013?

DS: Uranium is interesting because we know where it is in the cycle. Uranium is post- bubble. Even with the Japan crisis, the fundamentals are good for uranium. Is demand going to kick down a little bit? Yes. Germany is getting out of nuclear production. But there's a new government in Japan that says it's still building new nuclear power plants. The long-term fundamentals are bullish. China and India are building power plants. The price chart tells a bullish story for uranium.

Cameco Corp. (CCO:TSX; CCJ:NYSE) has been basing between $16 and roughly $22 for the past year or so. This is called a phase 1 base. Usually, this base is followed by a long, large move higher. I am looking for something like that from Cameco. The reason that I focus on Cameco is that it is the bellwether for the industry. For most people, Cameco provides enough sector exposure.

TMR: Are there any other stories that you think investors should consider?

DS: If you like the rare earth story and want a simple way to play it, Molycorp Inc. (MCP:NYSE) is an excellent way to play it. Molycorp fell from $70 down to a low of $6. It's about $9 right now. It's one of these maximum pessimism plays. It's a nice way of playing the alternative metals with the market leader—albeit in a relatively small market.

This brings us back to an issue in the graphite market. In the REE sector, we have Molycorp as the market leading stock. In uranium, we have Cameco as the industry bellwether. Both are highly liquid stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange. However, in graphite, we have several smaller companies to choose from and no clear market leader, and certainly nothing with the market liquidity of Molycorp or Cameco.

When looking at the maximum pessimism trades, it gets to the point where even industry-leading large caps get extremely depressed. Under those conditions, if you see solidification in demand for their commodities, then share prices and the broader market could turn around. That could make Molycorp a five- or six-bagger, with Cameco potentially a three- or four-bagger. So you have the potentials for big gains in well-financed large companies that you know aren't going under.

TMR: Producers with real plant and equipment, huge deposits and a track record.

DS: In 2001–2002, you could buy a lot of these big-tier producers, like an Eldorado Gold Corp. (ELD:TSX; EGO:NYSE), which was trading at $0.25–0.50. In 2000–2001, there was really no point in buying juniors. You should have just bought the producers. They were all really cheap. Then when they had their first move, from late 2000 to about early 2003, then you could have shifted that money into the juniors, which were just starting to move. When markets are depressed, it is best to buy the seniors and you can just feel your way around. If things solidify and it looks like there's more demand, then you go into the juniors.

But it may take a long time for the uranium and REE bubbles to re-inflate, and it's not a given they ever will. In that case, many or most of the juniors will simply not come back. How many of the smallest startups came back from the dot-com bubble? Many of the best-performing tech companies recently were companies that emerged after the tech bubble. The obvious example is Apple, which did nothing in the 1990s. Many of the biggest names in tech didn't even go public until after 2000. Google is an example. It's the same thing in uranium or REEs. If you invest in junior uranium or rare earth companies now, they might not exist in the future. There might be new initial public offerings that come out.

TMR: Any closing thoughts?

DS: I believe that graphite is a legitimate story that will turn into a legitimate boom. The best part of the graphite story is while there is a dearth of quality companies, there is a number of companies that will realistically become good, profitable producers. This is unlike the uranium equity market of a few years ago, when most of the companies were going to go by the wayside.

The graphite story has a long way to go. If the re-inflation trend starts because of Japan, Europe and the U.S. printing money, then that is just one more tailwind pushing the graphite market higher. The same macro trends apply to the large caps in uranium and REEs, like Molycorp and Cameco. At today's prices, they represent good value. They've fallen between 60–80% from their highs, they're very depressed and they have good potential to be turnaround plays, if re-inflation kicks in.

TMR: Thanks for your analysis; it has been interesting.

DS: My pleasure.

Yalbra Project

The Yalbra Graphite Project is located 250km North West of Meekatharra and 280km East of Carnarvon, Western Australia, and covers an area of 37km2. Buxton has recently expended its strategic ground holdings via agreements to acquire the Coordewandy and Gum Creek Graphite Projects along strike from Yalbra “main zone” target. Upon granting of these licences, Buxton’s total tenement package will cover an area of 437km2.

The Yalbra Graphite Project is a high grade Graphite project, that has a significant preliminary global Exploration Target of 8-12 Million Tonnes @ 7 - 11% C* which was delivered by Buxton’s geological team. The exploration target was based on historical percussion drilling results and comprises six separate zones where graphite mineralisation was intersected in historical drilling. Coarse flake Graphite was encountered in previous drilling and metallurgical testwork.

At Yalbra, Buxton Resources recently confirmed substantial widespread high grade graphite at surface through a rock-chip sampling program, building on the encouraging results from an Airborne VTEM survey that identified strong graphite conductors over a 6km strike length. The majority of known mineralised zones remain open at depth and along strike. These results are driving the generation of high quality drill targets with a program planned to commence shortly.

With the recently strengthened strategic land position and positive exploration results, the project continues to represent an exciting opportunity for the company to delineate a substantial potential resource and gain exposure to the buoyant graphite market with current prices and future demand outlook for the market remaining positive.

Mir gefällt bei Stratmin, dass sie bereits mit der Produktion beginnen und damit vor der erwarteten Schwämme von neuen Produzenten in zwei-drei Jahren am Markt sind.
Allerdings sind sie über mein Depot bei der DAB nicht zu handeln. Naja, bin eh noch nicht entschieden...

Noch weitere infos zu Stratmin:

A year ago Stratmin Global was a 'languishing' junior focused on silver.

Today it’s readying to take full control of a production-ready graphite project in Madagascar that will be utterly transformational.

It already has a 15 per cent stake in Graphmada, and plans to acquire the remainder via an all-paper reverse takeover that values the entire company at £25.5million.


Chairman Sahney: 'We suddenly become a major player in a supply constricted market'

Stratmin’s Madagascar operation will target production of a premium large flake product which, it aims to sell for US$1,400-US$1,600 a tonne.

Production is getting underway and the plan over the next two quarters is progressively to ramp up output to 1,000 tonnes a month. At this level the company becomes enormously cash generative – which marks it out from many other juniors on the AIM market.

The next step will then be to double annual production – which would really mark the company out as a mover and shaker in the world of graphite.

They are currently speaking to seven 'marketing and end user companies' interested in taking Stratmin’s graphite. All have samples and the first major shipment is imminent.

Following the deal to acquire Graphmada the vendors will own around 78 per cent of enlarged Stratmin. However, they are in for the long haul, according to the chairman. New investors, meanwhile, have the opportunity to get into London’s only graphite story at the very ground floor.

'The vendors have put all of their shares in the company. All the money raised is going into the company,' Sahney explained.

'We have negotiated a good value for the company and it is being acquired at a significant discount to its discounted cash flow value. And they are willing to do that because they are long-term investors as well.'

The plan over the next two years is to double production to 24,000 tonnes and to carry out exploration on the two licences – Loharano and Antsirabe - that make up Stratmin’s Madagascar project. So only 30 per cent of the area has been explored, meaning there is plenty of blue-sky to chase.

Beyond that who knows? 'We certainly have something that someone would want to buy,' said Sahney.

'But we will have cash and we’d hope that people would back us to expand. If you are looking at two years we have enough property to expand organically. Beyond that there are bound to be people that are cash constricted and this offers us opportunities.'

Just for Info (leider wenig Konkretes):

Nokia könnte eine Revolution auslösen
Nobelpreise sind für die Forschung bereits vergeben worden, der tägliche Nutzen ist jedoch noch gering. Ein finnischer Konzern könnte dies bald ändern.

Seit mehr als 150 Jahren ist Graphen bekannt. Das aus Graphit abgeleitete Produkt beherrscht die Phantasie vieler Forscher, für frühere Erkenntnisse zu Graphen haben Wissenschaftler 2010 sogar den Nobelpreis für Physik erhalten. Doch der bisherige Nutzen für die Industrie ist eher gering, die echten Anwendungsgebiete sind rar, obwohl die Forschungen schon jahrelang laufen.

Das könnte sich bald ändern. Die Europäische Union hat im Rahmen eines Forschungsauftrags 1,35 Milliarden Dollar an Nokia und einige Partner vergeben. Das Konsortium soll das Supermaterial genauer unter die Lupe nehmen und neue Möglichkeiten der Anwendung entwickeln.

Bei Nokia, eher bekannt als Hersteller von Handys und Smartphones, ist man von dem Material geradezu begeistert. Man ruft bereits die nächste industrielle Revolution aus und vergleicht Graphen mit dem frühen Eisen und mit Silikon.

Das Material ist superdünn und zweidimensional. In Tests hat man bereits herausgefunden, dass es ein exzellenter Hitzeleiter ist, zudem ist Graphen 40 Mal stärker als Stahl. Auch als Halbleiter hat es sich schon bewährt. Den Vergleich zu Silikon braucht das Material ebenfalls nicht zu scheuen. Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit schlägt die des Silikons um das 1000fache.

Die Forscher bei Nokia müssen nun evaluieren, wo und wie Graphen am sinnvollsten eingesetzt werden kann. Einerseits kann es andere Rohstoffe in bestehenden Produkten ersetzen, andererseits könnten damit auch ganz neue Produkte möglich werden.

Überlegungen gehen in die Richtung, dass Graphen in Computerchips eingesetzt werden könnten, das würde andere Materialien in den sensiblen Chips überflüssig machen. Auch moderne Batterien könnten vom Graphen profitieren, gleiches gilt für viele leichtgewichtige Komponenten in der Industrie. Gedankenspiele gehen ebenfalls in Richtung eines reißfesten Graphenpapiers. Die Forscher sehen zudem Möglichkeiten in der Medizintechnik, angedacht ist der Einsatz von Graphen in der menschlichen Netzhaut. All dies muss jedoch zunächst genauer erforscht werden, Nokia und Co. begeben sich auf eine lange Reise mit ungewissem Ausgang. Es könnte der Aufstieg eines neuen Supermaterials sein. Zugleich könnten andere Rohstoffe dadurch ersetzbar werden. Bis es dazu kommt, werden die Finnen aber noch viele Smartphones produzieren.

Graphene Macromolecules To Transform Plastics.
http://proedgewire.com/graphite-graphene-intel/graphene-macr…

Scientists in Germany led by the Freiburg Materials Research Center (FMF) at the University of Freiburg, have succeeded in combining graphene macromolecules with polymers, potentially transforming the global plastics industry forever. Adding to the Freiburg team are the University of Bayreuth, the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin, and the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials in Freiburg. The project named “FUNgraphen,” has created new carbon macromolecules from graphene plus other carbon composite materials with unique properties. Best of all, their new process promises to be low cost and scalable at an industrial level.

With the usual German efficiency expected, the project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and led by the chemist Prof. Dr. Rolf Mülhaupt, managing director of the FMF. It is coordinated by the FMF and in typical German forward thinking, has the support of an industrial advisory board.

In the new advance, individual layers of carbon atoms, become physically and chemically attached to polymers producing carbon “macromolecules,” giant carbon molecules which are less than a millionth of a millimeter thick but can have widths of more than a hundredth of a millimeter. The result, carbon macromolecules that are far more versatile than the carbon nanoparticles in use today, opening up new potential for the development of sustainable materials and technologies. “They have the potential to vastly improve resource and energy efficiency of plastics,” stated Professor Mülhaupt. “The applications range from printed electronics to printed catalysts with a pore design for the production of fine chemicals with simple catalyst recovery.”

Light, durable, environmentally friendly, and electrically conductive, they are resistant to heat, chemicals, and radiation and are impermeable to gas and liquids. The team dispersed several of these large carbon molecules in water, nontoxic solutions, and plastics to produce concentrated stable dispersions without requiring either binders or dispersing aids. These mixtures can be used to coat surfaces and print conductive carbon films as well as electrically conducting micro patterns. The printed conductive carbon layers are much more mechanically robust than printed indium tin oxide layers. The scientists posit that the new carbon will replace much of the far more expensive indium and palladium used in industry.

So where are the new carbon Macromolecules leading us? Well the teams were successful in mechanically reinforcing plastics and rubber with carbon macromolecules and simultaneously making them electrically conductive, resistant to radiation, and more gas-tight. These substances are interesting candidates for application in antistatic and impermeable fuel tanks and fuel lines, casings that are shielded against electromagnetic interferences, and gas-tight automobile tires for reducing fuel consumption in transportation.

Meanwhile the team at the University of Bayreuth has substantially reduced the cell sizes in foams by adding carbon macromolecules, allowing for the improvement of the thermal insulation properties of foams and the development of new, highly efficient insulating materials. The age of cheap, non-flammable, electric conducting, heat resistant, heat dissipating, plastic is about to dawn it seems. Using graphene with plastics will develop into a major use of graphene ahead, I suspect.

Preparation of high-purity and low-sulphur graphite from Woxnafine graphite concentrate by alkali roasting

An alkali roasting process, which consists of roasting with caustic soda, water washing and sulphuric acid leaching, has beenfound to be an effective method for graphite purification even at low roasting temperature. With this process, a flotation fineconcentrate containing 87–88% carbon could be purified to about 99.4% carbon when roasted with 25% NaOH at 250
°C andleached by 10% H2SO4solution at room temperature. In addition to the successful removal of silicate impurities, the process wasalso found to be effective to eliminate sulphide impurities. For instance, the sulphur content in the end product could be reduced tobelow 0.05% from 0.6% by the process. Furthermore, the consumption of NaOH can be lowered by using high-grade feed. Whenusing a feed of 95.9% carbon (upgraded by flotation), the NaOH concentration could be reduced to 10% from 25% while the productpurity could reach the same purity level of over 99%.....

Galaxy Graphite Corp. Discovers High Grade, Large Flake Graphite on Buckingham Project, Quebec

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 7, 2013) - Galaxy Graphite Corp. (TSX VENTURE:GXY) (the "Company" or "Galaxy") is pleased to announce that it has received all assay results from its Fall 2012 mapping and sampling program on the Buckingham graphite project in Quebec. One sample taken from the property analyzed for size distribution contains 11.5% Cg, with 54.42% large flakes in excess of 80 mesh.

The work program consisted of mapping and sampling, along with ground geophysics (magnetometer and HLEM). A total of 48 grab samples were assayed with graphitic carbon contents ranging from background to 11.5%. Three large (>1 kg) samples were analyzed for size distribution. The graphite is located in marbles in contact with quartzites and biotite gneiss, and in shear zones within the quartzites. The graphite mineralization closely follows NNW-SSE and E-W controlling structures, which are coincident with EM conductors.

The three samples analyzed for size distribution included one from an extension of an old mining operation (the Dominion mine) (sample YS-65D), and two from newly discovered showings (YS-74 and YS-76). Results are summarized in the following table:
Size distribution analysis
Sample Number
YS-65D YS-74 YS-76 size class
%Cg 11.5 1.8 2.0
% >100 mesh 63.42 37.89 30.25 medium or greater
% >80 mesh 54.42 22.43 30.20 large or greater
% >50 mesh 31.03 11.02 17.31 jumbo

The geophysical program has outlined several conductive trends which appear to coincide with graphitic zones mapped in outcrop, and indicate extensions from the Dominion mine.

Analytical work was performed by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, ON, using Mineral Liberation Analyser (MLA) technology. The geophysical program was performed by Meegwich Consultants of Temagami, ON, and consisted of a magnetometer survey using a GEM Systems GSM-19 magnetometer and an HLEM survey using an Apex MaxMin I unit. Field mapping and sampling, as well as data compilation and interpretation, were completed by EarthMetrix Technologies of Montreal QC.

A follow-up drill program is now being developed, and will concentrate mainly on extensions of the old mine workings.

Chris Healey, President and CEO of Galaxy, commented, "The results of this field work have clearly demonstrated the potential to discover a graphite deposit on the Buckingham property, with a substantial portion of the graphite being of the high demand large-jumbo flake size."

Soldi Stakes Additional Graphite Property


Price Change %Change Volume
0.045+0.015+ 50.00% 5,614,318


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 8, 2013) - Soldi Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SOV) (Soldi) announces that it has staked an additional 120.4 hectare property (known as the "Royal" property) within Galaxy Graphite Corp.'s ("Galaxy") Buckingham Project located in Québec (map available here: http://www.soldiventuresinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/R…

Galaxy recently announced its assay results from its fall 2012 mapping and sampling program on the Buckingham graphite project in Québec. One sample taken from the property analyzed for size distribution contains 11.5% graphitic carbon, with 54.42% of the large flakes in excess of 80 mesh.

The Buckingham graphite property comprises of two former producing mines, located just east of Buckingham, Québec. The mines are located in the highly prospective Central Metasedimentary belt of the Grenville geological province, host to many active graphite projects. The host rocks for both deposits are graphitic crystalline marbles, similar to the host stratigraphy at Timcal's Lac des Iles graphite mine, currently Canada's only producing graphite mine. The two properties cover a total of 1,324 hectares on 22 mining claims.

The Ste-Marie deposit had small-scale production in 1865, with a total reported production of 50 tons of graphite. The mineralization is hosted in lenticular masses and mineralized veins, within a crystalline limestone marble. The mineralization results from carbonization of organic matter in calcareous sedimentary formations during the Grenvillian metamorphic event. The graphite mineralization is typically massive.

The Dominion mine produced a reported 916 tons of graphite between 1910 and 1919. The geological setting is very similar to the Ste-Marie deposit. Flake graphite is reported to be the common form of graphite in the deposit (see Galaxy's news release dated February 7, 2012 for more details).

Soldi's new Royal property within Galaxy's Buckingham project is approximately 20 kilometres west of Soldi's Lochaber Graphite Property and 95 kilometres south of Soldi's Cameron Graphite Property (map available here: http://www.soldiventuresinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/s…

The Lochaber Graphite Property covers 930.77 hectares and was acquired February 2012. The Lochaber Property had been the target of exploration in the early 1950′s and again in the 1980′s during which time an airborne survey (in report DP 83-05) was flown to further define targets. A strong, wide airborne conductor was discovered and a ground visit to the location revealed massive flake graphite. The property is located approximately 50 kilometers east of Ottawa-Gatineau, near a highway in a historic graphite mining district.

In a 1952 report it was reported that: "Trenches were bulldozed by Frobisher Exploration, stripping overburden of 3-18 inches perpendicular to the strike of the Graphite zone. 10 trenches were stripped every 50 feet for 550 feet of the zone. The graphite exposed ranged from 3 feet to over 10 feet in the last 150 feet of the zone. The graphite zone trends along a steep valley that has a strike of N85E." The author visually estimated grades of 10% to 15% graphite. A pit 1,500 feet west of this zone exposed graphite bearing rock. A government airborne electromagnetic-magnetic survey detected conductors on three lines, showing parallel zones to the one which was trenched.

Soldi's other graphite project - the approximate 1,200 hectare Cameron Graphite Property in Québec, is located 16 kilometres east of Maniwaki and approximately 125 kilometres due north of Ottawa, with excellent road access.

The property is part of the Grenville Sub-Province of the Precambrian Shield of northern Canada. The formations of the area are generally gneissic granites, crystalline limestones, mica and amphibolites schists. Pegmatite dykes, veins and stock work are often present within the gneissic granite batholite.

Graphite is known to be common throughout the Grenville Sub-Province and has been commercially mined in the past from a number of deposits located mainly between the Ottawa River to the south and the Mont Laurier area to the north. On the property itself, graphite was found to occur in large, irregular shaped masses of coarsely crystalline white limestone. The graphite occurs as a bed approximately 20 feet thick. The graphite grade was visually estimated to be approximately 15% with a high proportion of large flakes.

In 1965, a bulk sample of the graphite-bearing material was shipped to a processing plant located in Labelle, Québec. Approximately 5 tons of this material was processed. In addition, 23 drill holes were drilled to the west of this occurrence and all, except for one, intersected graphite.

Three metallurgical tests were conducted on the bulk sample from 1965 using different grinding times. The results obtained were excellent, with the ensuing production of concentrate averaging 91.35% carbon after two minutes of grinding in the rod mill. A concentrate averaging 95.06% carbon was obtained after four minutes of grinding in a rod mill. In either case the recovery of large or "jumbo" graphite flakes in the plus 48 mesh concentrate ("plus 48 mesh" concentrate is considered highly valuable) was exceptional at 65.09% and 52.39% respectively.

The bulk sample was later analyzed with a semi-commercial plant test. The rod mill test gave a concentrate of 95.11% Carbon with 77.43% recovery. The final test run gave a concentrate of 97.40% Carbon with a 90.15% recovery.

In July 2012, Soldi reported that it received assays of samples taken from its Cameron Graphite Property. Two consecutive chip samples taken over widths of 1 metre each, assayed 26.85% and 25.02% graphitic carbon respectively, for an average of 25.94% graphitic carbon over a true thickness of 2.0 metres.

In the spring of 2012, Soldi carried out a preliminary VLF-electromagnetic survey and geological mapping on the Cameron property (see news release of May 1, 2012). The graphite zone coincides with a weak VLF conductor that extends for 200 metres to the southeast, and is open in that direction. Historic shallow drill holes that were put down in 1965, at the same time as the bulk sample, are reported to have intersected graphite in "all but one" of 23 drill holes to the west of the test pit, although the VLF conductor does not extend for more than about 25 metres in that direction. Details of the 1965 drilling, including hole locations and depths, as well as widths and grades of mineralized intersections, are not available.

The technical information in this news release has been written and/or reviewed by Mike Magrum, P.Geo., a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101. Note: Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent average grades on the property. Historic results are not 43-101 compliant and cannot be relied upon.

Triton Gold sketches grand graphite exploration plan


http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/39614/tr…


Triton Gold (ASX:TON) is advancing its Balama North graphite prospect in Mozambique after delineating target zones for potential exploration.

Its graphite exploration plan holds promise as the Balama North prospect is located close to Syrah Resources' very large and high grade Balama graphite deposits.

The asset is also next to known graphite mineralisations and AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group (NYSE: AMG, AMG) at Ancuabe.

Triton has identified target zones following detailed analysis of the aeromagnetic and radiometric data, as well as regional geology of the North Balama licence.

The results suggest that graphite mineralisation is continued on the North-East trend, extending up from the high grade graphite deposits at Syrah Resources' tenements.

Accordingly, the company has categorised the various target zones into priority levels 1 through 5, with level 1 being the highest priority.

The initial exploration focus will be on the first two levels of targets zones.

The priority targets will enable a cost effective and efficient mapping, trenching and drilling program.

Triton is also undertaking further analysis of the Ancuabe prospects to potentially refine and categorise the identified anomalous zones.......

Monax Mining to commence drilling at Waddikee graphite project, Australia

http://carbon.energy-business-review.com/news/monax-mining-t…


Australia-based multi-commodity explorer Monax Mining has commenced drilling at its 100% owned Waddikee Graphite Project.

The project is located on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia and the drilling program will target Waddikee's Wilclo South prospect.

Previous drilling at the site identified 15m at 16.3% total graphitic carbon (TGC) in hole WG032 measuring 90-105m and 9m at 14.8% TGC in hole WG031 measuring 59-68m.

Mapping and sampling at Wilco South has confirmed coarse flake graphite up to 3.5km in strike length.

The company will undertake the majority of the drilling program at the Wilclo South prospect to primarily provide sufficient drill-hole information for the determination of an inferred resource by mid-2013.

Monax will also undertake limited drilling at the project's Francis and Argent prospects to test strong conductive features outlined by the ground EM survey and previous sampling.

The drilling is expected to be concluded in four to six weeks.

News auf minesite.com:

"Stratmin Global Resources celebrated its maiden shipment of graphite, a 20-tonne consignment of flake graphite from Loharano in Madagascar to an unnamed US customer. Chairman Gobind Sahney said the company, which is ramping up production to 1,000 tonnes a month, would be able to sell all it could produce, claiming that three buyers had offered to take the company’s entire production for 2013 and suggesting 1,000 tonnes was its monthly target only because present production facilities could yield no more.
Graphite is in demand for uses ranging from brake linings and steel-making to batteries, electronics and smart phones, and Aim-traded Stratmin boasts a resource of 230 tonnes. Sahney said the company is seeking to extend its licences in Madagascar. Stratmin shares, which had traded at 20p within the past year, reflected this optimism, closing the week at 50.5p, putting a value of £30.3 million on the company."

Aktuell ist die Aktie 10% im Plus. Am Donnerstag findet eine Veranstaltung für Investoren in London statt, auf der sich Stratmin vorstellen wird. Ich erwarte bis dahin deutlich steigende Kurse!

Talga Resources begins drilling in graphite deposit in north Sweden

http://www.commodityonline.com/news/talga-resources-begins-d…


PERTH (Commodity Online): Talga Resources Limited (ASX: TLG) has reported that it has commenced drilling at its 100% owned Raitajarvi graphite deposit in north Sweden.

The drilling program is being undertaken to test for strike and depth extensions of the current JORC inferred flake graphite resource grading 10.8% Cg, which was based on historic drilling by the Geological Survey of Sweden. In addition, the drillcore will provide detailed geological, structural and metallurgical information to potentially fast-track the deposit to preliminary economic studies.

Graphite at Raitajarvi is hosted by a sequence of metasediments and schists. In the four holes completed to date, multiple zones of graphite up to 35m down hole width have been intersected.

These holes are located up to 100m south of the current JORC resource, confirming the potential for a significant upgrade in resource size. The zones appear to compare favourably with those intersected in historic drilling within the resource area.

Managing Director, Mark Thompson said, “We are pleased to be drilling again in Sweden, with winter offering ideal conditions and diamond drilling being the fastest way to advance towards economic studies. We expect this phase of resource targeting to be completed by the end of March with assay results available for a new resource estimate within a further 4-6 weeks.”

“The historic work by the Geological Survey of Sweden showed the graphite at Raitajarvi to be of large flake size and marketable carbon grades. With commercial aspects of the end product already well understood, our drilling focusses simply on an expansion of resource tonnes. We aim to identify a mine life of 10 years or more for this attractive coarse flake graphite deposit on the doorstep of the European market,” he said.

Archer Exploration delivers ultra pure graphite concentrates at Campoona

http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/40559/-a…



Archer Exploration (ASX:AXE) has achieved finely crystalline natural graphite concentrate of greater than 99% following initial testing of its Campoona graphite project in South Australia.

The results were achieved from conventional mechanical cell floatation and the graphitic carbon completed using Thermogravimetric Analysis.

Simple metallurgical processing means that Campoona graphite can be prepared from mechanical float cells typically at ≥98% carbon (TGA) with limited beneficiation to deliver in excess of 99% carbon.

While high tech applications that require graphite grading of greater than 99.95% TGA typically rely on synthetic graphite, Campoona provides natural graphite at grades to rival synthetic graphite, while delivering high crystalline graphite.

Synthetic graphite is expensive to produce and typically trades at prices greater than US$7,000/t.

But Campoona can deliver very high quality natural graphite powders from a low cost, high yielding extractive process, where unit margins are likely to give the project robustness in almost any price regime.

Since October 2012 the Company has undertaken rigorous metallurgical bench-scale testing of representative diamond drill core samples of Campoona graphite.
Several successive tests have delivered -75 micron graphite concentrates grading ≥99% carbon.

The next phase will be to replicate the bench-scale results using scale-up testing. Scale-up testing will deliver many kilograms of final product for diagnostic testing and distribution to selected end users.

The company spent $548,000 on exploration and evaluation last quarter and had a cash balance of $11.19 million. There is potential for share price upside as tts shares trading at 17.5 cents have a cash backing of 13.5 cents, leaving its assets valued at a mere 4 cents per share.

Graphene Valley: silicon, graphene patents foretell imminent graphene expansion

A significant chapter of our modern history is written on silicon chips, a saga that started in the early 1970s. Is the sequel going to be written on graphene chips?

Because of the physical properties of graphene it is one of three theoretical choices as a building block for microchips. Germanium was tried in the early 1970s and found lacking. Silicon won. But now, superthin, superstrong, superflexible, and superfast as an electrical conductor, graphene offers the potential to displace silicon the way the automobile obliterated the horse and buggy.

Valterra Begins Drilling Graphite Targets at the Bobcaygeon Project

http://www.stockhouse.com/companies/stories/v.vqa/8773783


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 25, 2013) - Valterra Resource Corporation (TSX VENTURE:VQA)(FRANKFURT:3VA) reports that a diamond drill rig has been mobilized onsite and commenced coring at the +160 sq. km. Bobcaygeon Graphite Project in southern Ontario. The company is utilizing a portable 'Prospector 89' drill rig which is capable of drilling several near-surface targets recently identified by trenching, mapping and geophysical surveys. The primary focus is to test proximal zones to the Discovery Zone trench which has returned excellent metallurgical, analytical and geophysical results.

Previously reported Bobcaygeon highlights include:

High-Purity Concentrate from Discovery Trench Metallurgy (see NR-05-13)
99.14% C returned in fine flake leach test (Double LOI) and 100% C(t) by Leco.
Geophysics Outlines Large Target Area (see NR-02-13)
Excellent IP, EM and MAG data was received from an 11 line-km survey centred on the Discovery Zone trench. The most prominent drill-ready feature is an open-ended, near surface IP chargeability anomaly covering an 800m x 400m area.
High-Grade Channel Sampling Results Reported (see NR-01-13)
36.8% Cg over 1.5m (minimum thickness) & 20.2% Cg over 1.4m (minimum thickness) in Discovery Zone trench sampling which also exposed approximately 20m of strike length with trenching bottoming in graphite.

The drill program is intended as a lead up to a more extensive drilling campaign which is currently being planned to systematically test the large geophysical target area, and other key anomalies and showings identified within the large property package....

Lincoln identifies maiden resource at Kookaburra Gully graphite project

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/sa-business-journal/l…

The Adelaide-based explorer said resource modeling at the Eyre Peninsula project had defined a total indicated and inferred resource of 2.25 million tonnes at 15 per cent total graphitic carbon (TGC), with 338,000 tonnes of contained graphite at a cut-off grade of 5 per cent.

Shares were trading 3 per cent higher at 9.3c.

The 3D modeling, by AMC Consultants, found the high-grade flake graphite mineralisation extends to at least 125m below ground level and is over 500m in strike length.

"The maiden JORC Code compliant Mineral Resources at Kookaburra Gully reinforce Lincoln's confidence in being able to quickly progress the company's graphite resources on southern Eyre Peninsula into a high-quality, long-life graphite mining and processing operation," managing director Dr John Parker said.

"Drilling the Kookaburra Gully Graphite Project and defining over 2 Mt (million tonnes) of mineralisation at 15 per cent TGC in this timeframe has been a fantastic result for Lincoln."

The Kookaburra Gully prospect, 35 km from Port Lincoln, lies at the north-east end of an extensive electromagnetic anomaly, which the company said held the potential for a large exploration target.

To date, less than 20 per cent of targets have been drilled, and an additional drilling program is planned for the middle of the year to extend the known mineralisation.

"Lincoln is very optimistic that drilling planned for Kookaburra Gully this year will define further graphite resources," he said.

Lamboo Resources’ sampling uncovers high grade flake graphite in South Korea
Monday, May 06, 2013 by Proactive Investors

http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/42891/la…

Lamboo Resources (ASX: LMB) has discovered high grades of up to 18.9% graphitic carbon over 20 metres in continuous channel sampling conducted at its Geumam Graphite Project in South Korea.

Critically, a mining operation and flotation processing plant was previously established at Area B at Geumam in 1986.

The plant was capable of producing 6tpd fine flake graphite flotation concentrate (>85% Cg), which it sold to export markets in Japan and Europe.

Lamboo's Korean graphite projects are located close to one of the most significant global markets for flake graphite.

Today's results returning high grade pure and substantial flake graphite are on the doorstep of the world’s largest flake graphite market.

It is possible that Lamboo can utilize a very low cost mining approach in South Korea that benefits from excellent infrastructure ensuring quality product can be delivered to customers.

The channel sampling was carried out over five prospects – Areas A, B, C, D and E – which combined have an exploration target of 17 to 28 million tonnes at 5% to 10% graphitic carbon for 1.5 to 2 million tonnes of contained flake graphite.

Importantly, these new results lift the potential of the project to substantially increase the current JORC Resource of 200,000 tonnes at 10% graphitic carbon.

The project is strategically located close to one of the most significant global markets for flake graphite, with demand for graphite expected to grow in North Asia at a higher rate than any other region over the next five years.

Geumam has significant areas of flake graphite outcropping at areas A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

Geological mapping and a review of all historical exploration data reported by the Korean Mining Promotion Corporation has identified zones of graphite of economically significant size and grade at prospect Areas A, B, C, D, E, F and G at Geumam.

These zones outcrop from surface and the moderately dipping graphite mineralisation is amenable to open pit mining methods.

Area C is the highest ranked exploration target at Geumam.

Twenty eight check rock chip check samples were collected from Area C, with results confirming the presence of previously identified graphite mineralisation.

Continuous channel rock sampling was possible at several exposures of graphite in road cuts.

Peak results included 20 metres at 18.9% graphitic carbon, 20 metres at 15.2% graphitic carbon, 40 metres at 9.07% graphitic carbon – including 10 metre intervals up to 11.00%, 10 metres at 9.15% graphitic carbon, and 5 metres at 14.5% graphitic carbon.


Large graphite market

South Korea is the third largest Asian economy, with major steel, automobile and heavy chemical industries. A well-developed downstream graphite processing industry exists in South Korea.

There is an opportunity to substitute flake graphite into some synthetic graphite markets because of its cost competitiveness.

South Korea is the world’s second largest importer of synthetic graphite, estimated to be 52,000 tonnes in 2011 and growing at a rate of 27% per annum.


Key advantages

A new graphite mining and processing operation in South Korea will have several key advantages over most potential global competitors, including:


- Low cost processing capabilty

- Favourable geology, with world class graphite deposits situated in the North China craton.

- Close proximity to the largest markets for graphite in North Asia (China, Japan and South Korea).

South Korean companies are at the leading edge of technological developments in electronics, batteries and automobiles, the principle sectors that are driving new demand for graphite.

In addition, major Japanese players are investing in new synthetic graphite plants in South Korea.

- Minimal transportation freight costs.

- Low sovereign risk for investment.

- Highly efficient container ports, linked to an excellent modern road and rail transportation network.

- Low electrical power costs for industry (base load nuclear power).

- Highly educated and skilled workforce.

- Stable, democratically elected government.

- Workable Mining Act.


Exploration plan

Lamboo is finalising clearances with local landholders so it can immediately begin a drilling program at the Geumam Project.

Drilling will be targeted at substantially increasing the current resource base.

Lamboo held around A$1.85 million in cash at the end of the March 2013 quarter.

Talga Resources’ initial drilling uncovers near surface flake graphite in Sweden
Friday, May 10, 2013 by Angela Kean

http://www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/43124/ta…

Talga Resources (ASX: TLG) has discovered near surface, high grade flake graphite in first drilling at its Raitajärvi project in northern Sweden.

Importantly, initial assays have delivered both high grades over significant thicknesses and broad zones of mineralisation not previously recorded by historic works.

All but one of the first 14 drill holes of the 28-hole program completed successfully intersected graphite mineralisation.

Highlights so far are:

- 98.9 metres at 5.5% graphitic carbon, including 29.1 metres at 11.2% graphitic carbon;
- 62 metres at 4.8% graphitic carbon, including 14 metres at 10.2% graphitic carbon;
- 47.5 metres at 10.1% graphitic carbon, including 6.1 metres at 16.8% graphitic carbon and 9.6 metres at 22.1% graphitic carbon; and
- 80.7 metres at 4.6% graphitic carbon, including 13 metres at 12% graphitic carbon.

Less than 25% of the anomaly strike length has been tested to date and the deposit remains open at depth and along strike, with parallel zones essentially untested.

Flake Graphite Prices Have Bottomed: Simon Moores

TICKERS: EGZ; ENZR, FMS, NK, NGC; NGPHF, ASX, ASX, ZEN

Source: Brian Sylvester of The Metals Report (5/28/13)

Simon Moores Growth potential among end-users and underinvestment on the supply side makes graphite an obvious go-long play, according to Simon Moores, manager of Industrial Minerals Data. China's consolidation of graphite production plays a role in that scenario. Now is the time to look for responsible junior graphite miners that base their economics on current (lower) prices, says Moores in this interview with The Metals Report.

Newly Magnetic Graphene Could Shrink Transistors
Posted on June 20, 2013 by Michelle Berube

June 20, 2013 (Source: LiveScience) — Is there a limit to what “miracle material” graphene cannot do? Its newly found property, magnetism that can be switched on and off, could pave the way to new transistor-like devices that are much smaller, consume less energy and have greater processing speeds than today’s electronics.

Torch River's Walker Lump/Vein Graphite Property Composite Grab Sample Yields Grades As High As 89.5% Cg in First Sampling Program

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 11, 2013) - Torch River Resources Ltd. ("Torch" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TCR)(FRANKFURT:WNF)(PINKSHEETS:TORVF), is pleased to announce the results of its first grab sampling program on its Walker lump/vein graphite property located approximately 100 km west of Montreal. The Company's geologist, Ms. Isabelle Robillard, P. Geo., Qualified Person, recently carried out a site visit to collect the initial composite grab samples. The team directly assessed the visible graphite veins and extracted samples taken along the various veins. The purpose of the program was to assess the potential for high grades encountered across this mineralization region.

Based on subsequent analysis conducted by Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) of Ancaster, Ontario using the IR process (Leco), the results confirmed the presence of a high quality lump/vein graphite mineralization. Ms. Robillard commented on the results as follows: "Graphite occurrence was observed during recent fieldwork (2013-06-21) from an ancient shallow exploitation pit on an easily accessible part of the property. The old pit and adjacent waste rocks pile exposed at least two sets of intersecting graphite veins, with thickness ranging from 2 to 10 cm. Vein material was sampled and sent to Actlabs in Ancaster. The laboratory returned the graphite assay value (89.5% Cg) that is reported here. One of the veins was followed at surface for at least 6 meters along strike and many small mine pits and trenches were found in the immediate area, indicating the presence of more graphite mineralization."

Paul Ogilvie, Chief Executive Officer of Torch commented, "We are very pleased with the grade of 89.5% Cg as is in line with lump graphite properties in Sri Lanka. The results are very encouraging as we work towards building a 100% lump graphite company. Our next steps will be to analyse the purity and upgrade the material to the highest purity possible, toward the 99.9 % Cg goal."........

Brookemont Receives Exchange approval for the "Albany East" Hydrothermal Graphite Prospect in Ontario

http://www.brookemontcapital.com/s/NewsReleases.asp?ReportID…



Brookemont Capital Inc. ("BKT" or the "Company") (BKT-TSX.V) (BKTPF-USA) is very pleased to announce that BKT has received TSX Venture Exchange approval for the acquisition of the 'Albany East' Hydrothermal Graphite Prospect. This prospect borders Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. (ZEN-TSX Venture) ground where they have recently made a significant discovery.

Conrad Clemiss, President of Brookemont states, "This is great news. We are the only company to recently announce ground in the area to receive Exchange approval, and therefore we now are able to aggressively move forward to explore and potentially develop this prospect."

Recently, (July 12, 2013) BKT announced that based on Geological Survey of Canada and Ontario Department of Mines aeromagnetic airborne data, a significant geophysical magnetic low anomaly is evident on the recently acquired "Albany East" Hydrothermal Graphite Prospect in Ontario. The magnetic depression outlined on the BKT claims measures over 1.5 miles (2.6km) by 1 mile (1.6km) using the scale on the aeromagnetics map. Please refer to map on the Company's website.

The airborne data, from Geophysics paper 3912, Constance Lake, Ontario, Sheet 42 F/16, published in 1967 and compiled by Lockwood Survey Corp., from 1965 to 1967, and completed for the Ontario Department of Mines and the Geological Survey of Canada, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, outlines a magnetic depression (low) on the Company's ground similar to the magnetic depression that is associated with graphite mineralization on theadjoining Zenyatta Ventures' property.

Mr. Gregory Thomson, P.Geo., a director and QP of the Company stated, "Based on reviewing the limited data currently available, it is quite apparent that there is a magnetic low anomaly that virtually covers the entirety of the newly acquired BKT property. The underlying geologic formation is similar as the host formation in which Zenyatta made its recent discovery. While the formations and geophysical signature are similar in nature, much more work needs to be conducted to test the anomaly's mineral potential for graphite."

Torch River Announces Plan to Work Towards a Merger with Plumbago Refining Corporation to Develop Lump Graphite Deposits in Sri Lanka

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 25, 2013) - Torch River Resources Ltd. ("Torch" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TCR) (FRANKFURT:WNF) (PINKSHEETS:TORVF), is pleased to announce that it is working towards the terms of a proposed agreement to merge with Plumbago Refining Corporation ("PRC"). The goal of the proposed merger is to create a combined company that will be in a better position to advance the development of twenty (20) of their 49 former high-grade lump graphite mines located in southern Sri Lanka.

Torch and PRC have commenced their respective due diligence processes and are proceeding with discussions of the terms by which a merger of the two companies can be achieved. Site visits are planned during the month of August and the companies are encouraged that an agreement may be negotiated. Both companies believe the proposed merger could be viewed as a positive development in the worldwide effort to create new supplies of natural graphite. The marketplace has been largely dominated by exports from China for much of the past twenty years; however, that situation has been changing as internal consumption patterns in China have increased. As a result, the need for new, reliable, and cost-effective supplies of graphite has become a topic of concern for many graphite users. In Canada as many as ten companies are seeking to quantify and build graphite operations. While these are welcome developments in the Canadian junior mining space, the reality is that the local sector may become saturated with projects. In addition, projects that consist of low-grade deposits may encounter high processing costs and in turn large capital expenditures in order to achieve enough scale to reduce operating costs. Both high capital expenses and operating expenses increase the risk of those projects. Conversely, low-cost operations such as the one that may be possible as a result of the merger of Torch and PRC, have the potential to position the merged company well ahead in the race to supply global graphite markets.

About Plumbago Refining Corporation

Over the past two years PRC, which is registered in the Dutch Caribbean territory of Curacao, has acquired full ownership of a Sri Lankan subsidiary, Sarcon Development Ltd. ("Sarcon"), which has been pursuing a development program to re-activate 20 former producing mines located in Sri Lanka. Sarcon has licensed a total of 49 sites which are all are permitted and have received technical backing from Sri Lanka's Geological Survey and Mines Bureau. This would be similar to receiving support from the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) in Ontario.

Torch and PRC estimate that the mines could be re-activated within 3 to 5 months of commencing the necessary start-up work which would include the completion of a resource estimate and receipt of a positive economic feasibility study to support the viability of the mines. In addition, Sarcon has obtained exclusive exploration rights for 116.1 km2 grid in Western and Southwestern Sri Lanka. These are believed to include the majority of known graphite mines on public land in Sri Lanka. The graphite formerly produced from the mines and which is expected to be produced should the mines be re-activated, is of the 'vein/lump' variety which is typically characterized by grades of 90% C and +80 mesh quality or higher. These qualities, when produced from other mines, have resulted in some of the lowest capital expenses and operating expenses in the graphite sector. Many of the former producing mines that PRC is seeking to re-activate are located next to some of Sri Lanka's most productive graphite properties.

Sri Lankan Graphite

Sri Lankan graphite has seen strong international and domestic demand for its graphite products. Sri Lanka itself has experienced an average GDP growth rate of over 6% from 2003 until 2012, reaching a peak in 2010 of 8.6% in December of 2010. This has resulted in robust local economy that has brought increased stability to the business and political sectors in Sri Lanka. In this regard the Sri Lankan government has taken steps to promote foreign private sector investment by easing the project approval process and improving it infrastructure across the country.

Energizer Resources Achieves Ultra-High Purity of Greater Than 99.9% Graphitic Carbon

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 29, 2013) - Energizer Resources Inc. (OTCBB:ENZR)(FRANKFURT:YE5)(TSX:EGZ) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has achieved greater than 99.9% graphitic carbon from a finished concentrate of the Company's flagship Molo flake graphite deposit ("the Molo") in Madagascar.

This ultra-high purity graphite concentrate of greater than 99.9% C was achieved on a first-pass, single-stage hydrometallurgical purification test at SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS"). The analysis by SGS that achieved this result comprised of an average of five repeat assays on the concentrate conducted over two days. This preliminary test was done to assess the ability to upgrade the Molo graphite to an ultra-pure concentrate. Based on these exceptional results, SGS will now begin the development of a comprehensive hydrometallurgical process flow sheet, which will be completed over the next 60 to 90 days and will be conducted in adherence to the technical guidelines of a Full Feasibility Study.

These studies are part of a series of on-going metallurgical optimization tests targeted at further enhancing both the CAPEX and OPEX numbers presented in the Company's already robust Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Study from January 2013.

Craig Scherba, President and COO, stated, "We are delighted to have achieved an ultra-high purity of greater than 99.9% graphitic carbon on the first test. This is highly significant and reconfirms, as demonstrated from the mineralogical results in our completed PEA Study, the exceptional quality of our graphite. As outlined in our previous news releases and PEA Study, the Molo is situated in an extremely rare and unique geological setting which has resulted in our flake graphite being both very high in purity and in quality." ...........

iphone 6 has a graphene display


So graphene is coming out of the research labs and into the mainstream with who else but Apple.

http://www.behance.net/gallery/iPhone-6-You-wont-believe-it-…

The iphone 6 is touted to have a graphene composite screen ( unbreakable ) and also an aluminium carbon composite case.

I have plenty of friends with cracked smartphone screens so I think we could reasonably expect graphene composite screens to eventually become industry standard.

Which leads to exactly how many smartphones are getting manufactured? 1.5 billion per annum in 2016 according to this report http://www.businessinsider.com.au/smartphone-sales-forecast-…

Whether AXE's Campoona deposit enters into this market segment or not remains to be seen...

Korea: a rising star for graphite, rare earths, critical metals


Back between 1950 and 1990 South Korea was the world’s second largest producer of graphite, accounting for an annual output of around 77,000 tonnes of flake and amorphous graphite. Then, just after 1990, the world’s largest producer — China, of course — decided to dump cheap graphite on the world market. It wrecked many non-China mines, including South Korea’s and today (according to the U.S. Geological Survey) China produces about 800,000 tonnes a year and South Korea just 70 tonnes.

The USGS also counts North Korea as the world’s fourth largest producer at 30,000 tonnes, but most industry authorities doubt this; the north’s mines are believed to be operating well below capacity. Whatever the actual production, most of North Korea’s graphite goes to China — which, as one analyst has remarked, raises considerable doubts regarding China’s ability to ramp up its own graphite output. A story surfaced in 2007 in the newspaper Hankyoreh that North Korean graphite was being shipped to the south, a 200 tonnes consignment being loaded on a vessel at Haeju destined for Incheon. The plant was 50% owned by the south’s Korean Resources Corp.

The Korean peninsula is gradually being seen as a potential key player, not just for graphite but for critical metals and rare earths.

According to a briefing put together by an Australian company , Lamboo Resources (ASX:LMB), which has flake graphite targets in South Korea, most of the graphite produced since the Second World War went to the former colonial master, Japan, for use in the steel industry. What is surprising is that South Korea was able to be such an important producer without using any bulk mining, with most extraction being done with hand-working. All the mines closed after the Chinese dumping.

Lamboo, incidentally, argues that it has got its timing right for investing in new flake production. Apart from the range of technology developments and market growth which is propelling the graphite sector as a whole, Lamboo puts considerable emphasis on trends within the Chinese industry: declining production overall, the problems of mining in the winter (the northern graphite mines in Heilongjiang province close for several months each year) and the 20% export tariff slapped on Chinese exports. The company also cites what it describes as the declining quality of Chinese graphite, increasing mining and labour costs, tougher environmental standards; in fact, the company says that out of 72 Chinese graphite producing companies, only eight are considered major industry players with annual capacity of greater than 30,000tpa graphite.

A step toward the future: new patent-pending technology furthers innovation in the energy industry


Summit, New Jersey (MMD Newswire) August 13, 2013 -- A new provisional patent application was filed July 10, 2013 by Gearhart Law for inventors Karim Zaghib, Gordon Chiu, Abdelbast Guerfi, and Amélie Forand. The application describes a new composition using a type of graphene. This novel material will be important for the energy industry, in everything from alternative energy storage and transmission to improved consumer products.

Today's consumers are not satisfied with the current inefficiencies in the devices we all use everyday. Additionally, these inefficiencies are holding back applications for use in, for instance, electric vehicles. The unique invention described briefly below could help advance the needs and demands of airplane manufacturers such as Boeing, auto manufacturers such as Tesla and the mobile computing industry. Imagine a smart phone or tablet that holds a charge for a month or more, or an electric car that has a battery the size of an orange. With the development of this new technology, it may not be that far off.



The entire energy industry is aiming for faster charging rates for batteries, greater safety, more capacity and longer energy storage times. These added benefits would lead to more efficient and more cost effective devices and products. This new technology has the potential to have a large impact on the energy industry; the invention is a material that has novel structural, conductive, and hybrid properties that allow it to act as an energy storage mechanism and as an energy conduit.

Alternative energy may also see a huge benefit from the new technology. Among the challenges in using alternative energy technologies are the abilities to store and transport the energy. Batteries must be able to store a large amount of energy, and conduits typically lose a large amount of energy as it is transported along power lines. Imagine being able to capture solar power in Arizona and using it to heat a home in North Dakota, all for a few pennies. This new technology is a step on the path to the realization of that vision.

What is this new technology?

The inventors have successfully formed a uniform composite containing carbon-coated lithium metal phosphate with Mesograf(TM), which is a graphene composition obtained from natural graphite. The material will be useful in storing and conducting energy. The patent will be jointly owned by HydroQuebec and Grafoid.

HydroQuebec is the world's expert and holder of the patents for developing lithium iron phosphate charging systems.

Graphene became well-known in the scientific community in 2010, when Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov won the Nobel Prize in physics for their work with it. Graphene is a material composed of pure carbon, with atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern, and can be described as a one-atom thick layer of the mineral graphite. Graphene has high conductivity, thousands of times higher than copper. This means that it can transport electricity highly efficiently. It is also the strongest material ever discovered. Graphene is very light, weighing only 0.77 milligrams per square meter. Graphene can be made in many forms, each performing differently in respect to varied physical parameters.

Dr. Gordon Chiu is Vice President and co-founder of Grafoid Inc., a collaborative venture with a significant graphite entity, whose mission is to develop, patent and secure the global rights for specific graphene technologies. The joint venture is based in New York City. Described as an "execution-driven businessman," Dr. Chiu has combined domestic and international experience in the chemical, technology, medical, and related industries. A lecturer and corporate advisor, Dr Chiu is engaged in the discovery and research of graphene on behalf of Grafoid and provides advice on project selection with a view to increasing overall uses and applications of graphite/graphene. Dr. Chiu holds a B.S. degree summa ***** laude in chemistry from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and graduated with an M.S. degree in chemistry from Seton Hall University with honors. He is a former research scientist at Pfizer and Merck & Co. and has strong links to Wall Street and Asia. Dr. Chiu is globally distinguished by his acceptance as an MD/PhD candidate under the National Institutes of Health's Medical Scientist Training Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He jointly combined his cumulative training with an ND degree in naturopathic medicine from the University of Bridgeport.

Dr. Karim Zaghib obtained his MS in 1987 and his PhD in 1990, both in electrochemistry from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France under the direction of Bernadette Nguyen. In 2002, he received the HDR (Habilitation à Diriger la Recherche) in materials science from the Université de Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France. Dr. Zaghib has published 131 papers, 85 patents, and served as editor or co-editor of 11 books. He was organizer or co-organizer of 37 symposia, meetings and workshops. In June 2010, he was the General Chair of the International Meeting on Lithium Batteries (IMLB) in Montréal, Québec. He is very active in ECS, and recently completed his term as the Chair of the Energy Technology Division. Dr. Zaghib is the recipient of the International Electric Research Exchange (IERE) Research Award (2008) in Iguaçu, Brazil and the International Battery Association (IBA) Research Award in January 2010.

Game Changer: Grafoid’s new patent-pending MesoGraf™ technology sets the standard for high-energy-density graphene
http://investorintel.com/graphite-graphene-intel/game-change…

In my most-recent InvestorIntel Graphite & Graphene Week-in-Review, I wrote about the forthcoming “graphene revolution”… and here’s further proof about the incredible innovation and transformation happening in this sector. In a collaborative agreement, a new, provisional patent application was recently filed on behalf Grafoid Inc. and Hydro-Québec for MesoGraf™ (MesoGraf); the first trademarked graphene in the world. MesoGraf is a high-density graphene composition obtained from natural graphite. The application describes a new composition using a type of graphene. The inventors, Dr. Gordon Chiu (Chief Scientist, Vice President and Co-founder of Grafoid), Dr. Karim Zaghib (Director of Hydro-Québec’s Research Institute), Abdelbast Guerfi (Hydro-Québec’s Research Institute) and Amélie Forand (Hydro-Québec’s Research Institute), have successfully designed a uniform composite containing carbon-coated lithium metal phosphate with MesoGraf.

It should be noted that Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS | OTCQX: FCSMF) is a partner of the technology firm Grafoid; holding a 21% ownership stake in the privately held research-and-development company. As most readers are aware, Focus is developing the Lac Knife high-grade graphite property in Quebec; however, what readers may not know is that Focus supplied all of the graphite Grafoid used to develop and optimize MesoGraf from Lac Knife.

MesoGraf has a novel structural, conductive and hybrid properties that allow it to act as an energy-storage mechanism and as an energy conduit. The patent-pending technology is the culmination of the research-and-development agreement between Grafoid and Hydro-Québec’s Research Institute to produce next-generation lithium ferrophosphate (LFP)-graphene batteries with ultra-short charging times and dramatically longer recyclable lifetimes. MesoGraf is anticipated to be vital for the energy sector – specifically, portable energy – and impact everything from alternative energy (any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel) storage and transmission to radically improved consumer products.

Dr. Chiu explained that, “MesoGraf is a stable intermediate product derived from raw graphite ore that can easily be transformed into graphene.” In record time, Dr. Chiu and his partners at the National University of Singapore (NUS) were able to isolate a material from raw graphite ore that can be transformed instantly into graphene.

According to Gary Economo, President and CEO of both Focus and Grafoid, “MesoGraf offers a direct, fast and cheap way to commercialize graphene on a global scale, and catapults the enterprise ahead of any graphene development venture in Asia, the US or Europe.” Grafoid has already received orders for MesoGraf from a number of large companies, including battery businesses, a chemical firm and a large utility company.

Both Dr. Chiu and Economo emphasized that having a global standard for economically scalable graphene has long been recognized as central to establishing the nano-carbon as a marketable technology. “We believed that by accomplishing two things — by investing in a process of producing graphene cost-effectively and by setting a global standard — the door to industrial scale adaptation would open to us,” according to Dr. Chiu. “MesoGraf has achieved this… and it is the game changer.”

Triton Minerals intersects 64 cumulative metres of graphite at Balama North
Friday, August 16, 2013 by Proactive Investors

Triton Minerals' (ASX: TON) reverse circulation drilling campaign is continuing to exceed the company's expectations at the Balama North project in Mozambique.

Another 64 cumulative metres has been intersected on Drill Section 4 on the Cobra Plains prospect in License 5365, which extends the potential strike of graphitic mineralisation up to 2 kilometres.

Triton said that the graphitic mineralisation intersected appears to be on the same rock succession extending north-east from Syrah Resources’ (ASX: SYR) world-class graphite deposits.

The latest drill results are located on Drill Section 4 around two kilometres south west from the previously reported intersection in Drill Section 2 and provides Triton a greater understanding of the graphitic mineralisation zone in the Cobra Plains prospect.

The reverse circulation drilling program at Balama North is to cover up to 32 holes 50 metres apart on drill lines spaced around 1 kilometre, and will test the width and continuity graphite mineralisation zone.

Earlier in the month Triton raised over A$1 million through a placement of shares to sophisticated and professional investors, which built on the $1.4 million cash balance at the end of June 2013.


Boyle says results 'exceeding our expectations'

Brad Boyle, managing director for Triton, commented: “These drill results from the Cobra Plains prospect continue to be most encouraging.

"Again the drill results are exceeding our expectations, given we are still in the preliminary stage of the exploration program and this being the secondary target in the Balama North project.

"The new findings include a further intersection of 64 cumulative metres of graphite mineralization within a zone that has a tested down-dip extent of 90 metres."


Drill Section 4

Triton has completed six drill holes on Drill Section 4, with TMBC0016 intersecting multiple zones containing graphite for the cumulative drilled width of 64 metres.

The graphitic zones intersected on Drill Section 4 are again visually similar to the previously announced graphite zones intersected on Drill Sections 2 and 3.

The adjacent drill hole TMBC0015 intersected similar graphitic zones for a cumulative drilled width of 52 metres. Based on the initial drilling results, the mineralised zone appears to have a down-dip extent of about 90 metres.

The initial interpretation of these drill results is that the zones of graphite mineralisation appear to thicken in a westerly direction.

Triton said that additional drilling is required along the extension of Drill Section 4, to further test this concept.


Analysis

Momentum is building for Triton at Balama North as results from the reverse circulation drilling campaign continue to exceed expectations.

The latest results have further built on the initial visual findings increasing the possibility of graphite mineralisation extending up to 2 kilometres.

Although still only early days for drilling at Balama North, the potential that the graphitic mineralisation appears to be on the same rock succession extending north-east from Syrah Resources’ world-class graphite deposits is intriguing.

Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. Initiates Mini-Bulk Sample Program with Second Drill Rig

Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. ("Zenyatta" or "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ZEN) is pleased to announce that a second drill rig has commenced drilling on the East Pipe with a larger drill (HQ size) in order to obtain 5 tonnes of graphite mineralization to proceed with a second phase processing of a mini-bulk sample at SGS Canada Inc. ('SGS') in Lakefield. This processing will allow additional optimization of the flow sheet for the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and provide material for further testing by Zenyatta and interested parties who have requested material.

Aubrey Eveleigh, President and CEO stated "Zenyatta is presently testing the high purity graphitic material at labs and universities in North America and should have information available for release in September. In the meantime, the Company has been approached by many global corporations and academic institutions requesting Zenyatta's unique ultra-high purity graphite material for testing in their own labs. Additional processing at SGS will provide enough ultra-high purity material for release to these various parties."

Eveleigh further stated "Both pipes continue to demonstrate the exceptional continuity and size potential of the graphite deposit, and the outline of each pipe correlates well with the shape of the conductivity anomalies defined by the ground EM survey. The current drill campaign is designed to allow for a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate by RPA (formerly Roscoe Postle & Associates Inc.) for both the East and West pipes. Drilling is on schedule for a NI 43-101 statement in early 4Q/13."

Zenyatta expects to release additional drill results for the West and East pipes soon.

Weil mir das hier bei WO immer wieder auffällt:

Ein gutgemeinter Rat an ALLE: Windows Vista war ein Flop und wurde von Microsoft schnell durch Windows 7 abgelöst. Seit Herbst 2012 (genaues Datum habe ich gerade nicht zur Hand) hat Microsoft den Support für Vista eingestellt - und das Wichtige: Es gibt seitdem keine Updates mehr (eventeulle Sicherheitslöcher werden nicht mehr gefixt)!!! D.h. mit Vista auf dem/den Rechner/n ist man ein gefundenes "Fressen" für Schadsoftware (Viren, Trojaner etc.). Da nutzt auch kein Virenscanner!

Man sollte immer ein aktuelles Betriebssystem nutzen (wobei ich Windows 8 nicht unbedingt empfehlen kann... - ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig)!!! Windows 7 z.B. wird meines Wissens offiziell von Microsoft noch bis 2018 untersützt und dafür gibt es regelmäßig Updates, die man unbedingt auch herunterladen und installieren sollte.

Gleiches gilt für Browser wie Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera oder wie sie alle heißen. Immer die neueste Version nutzen. Und auch Software aller Art (auch die Treiber für Hardware) sollte man immer aktuell halten.

Noch ein dringender Hinweis an alle Windows XP-User:

XP wird von Microsoft offiziell nur noch bis April 2014 unterstützt. Danach gibts keine Updates mehr!!!

--> Auch hier empfehle ich ausdrücklich bis spätestens April 2014 auf ein aktuell untertstütes BS umzusteigen!

Hier die Info von MS:

Am 8. April 2014 stellt Microsoft den Support für Windows XP sowie für Office 2003 ein. Erfahren Sie auf diesen Seiten, welche Risiken es birgt, weiterhin auf die betagte Software zu setzen, und von welchen Vorteilen Sie profitieren, wenn Sie jetzt auf die modernen Nachfolger Windows 8 und das neue Office aktualisieren. Wählen Sie aus, zu welcher Art von Anwender Sie gehören:
http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/byebyexp/default.aspx

Ab Oktober soll Windows 8.1 erscheinen (Win 8 war auch ein Flop). Leider sind die Verbesserungen marginal - es gibt - im Vergleich zu Win 8 - wieder einen "Startbutton" (aber leider trotzdem kein Startmenü)...

Grüße

The program will consist of 6 line kilometers that target the historic mag low which lies on the western edge of the same regional aeromagnetic anomaly that contains the Zenyatta Ventures’ Albany graphite project in Ontario. Furthermore the Project lies within a regional magnetic structural corridor, 7 Km’s West of Zenyatta Ventures Albany graphite deposit and 5km northeast of Caribou King Resources’ Mulloy graphite project. The program will identify if there is potential for a similar style of graphite mineralization as the Zenyatta Ventures’ Albany graphite Deposit to occur within the mag low previously identified on Touchdown Resources’ Albany West Property.

graphite graphene


ROBIN BROMBY
The Australian November 25, 2013 12:00AM


YOU can have a great story to tell, but when the investors have soured on a sector you just have to grin and bear it.Further to last week's note about the challenge to rare-earth hopefuls, this week comes news that South Korea's Samsung Group is investing 1.5 trillion won ($1.5 billion) into 27 research projects, many focused on finding alternatives to rare earths for a range of hi-tech products. Like Japan, South Korea wants to free itself from dependence on China. They don't want a repeat of the soaring price gains of two years ago and have clearly decided they can't rely on the non-China crowd to actually ever get into production.

On Tuesday, Peak Resources (PEK) hit a 52-week low of 8.4c, having reached 98c during the 2011 rare-earth bubble. As Peak points out, it is one of the very few companies outside China to have produced separated, high-purity rare-earth oxides. Moreover, 85 per cent of its Ngualla resource in Tanzania is made up of the more critical rare earths including neodymium, praseodymium and europium. You just can't sell a rare-earth story these days.

But you can still apparently sell a graphite one. Archer Exploration (AXE) got a nice run on news that its resource looks suited for processing into the new wonder material graphene. This is the one-atom-thick new age carbon-based product that stands to revolutionise the manufacture of products such as mobile devices, lithium-ion batteries, high-strength composite materials (for aircraft, for example), lightweight containers and solar cells. And many, many more.

Archer's graphite comes from its Campoona project on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. The company has just had word from the research trials conducted with the University of Adelaide which show the Campoona product could be used for a range of graphene applications.No wonder the company -- and traders -- were excited. But a word of caution: Australia is in a race with the rest of the world, both for the production of graphite and for graphene.

Locally Valence Industries (VXL) is out with a $10 million raising to get the mothballed Uley mine (also on Eyre Peninsula) back in full production by next year. During the week Triton Minerals (TON) announced it has moved to majority control of its huge graphite target in Mozambique. Plenty of other hopefuls such as Lincoln Minerals (LML), Lamboo Resources (LMB), Kibaran Resources (KNL) and Bora Bora Resources (BBR) are applying the whip to keep up with Canadian and other runners as the sector rounds the home turn.

On graphene, the stable door is well open. Earlier this year the BBC reported that China had registered 2204 graphene patents, South Korea 1160. Samsung was in the lead of individual holders with 407 patents, IBM second with 114. No doubt all those numbers are much bigger now

China’s graphite problems signal opportunity ahead for emerging producers of the West
Posted on December 18, 2013 by Robin Bromby

So something like 20% of China’s flake graphite production is on hold because of crackdown on polluting mines. Reports out of China indicate that operations at Pingdu, Shandong province, have been ordered closed by local government authorities after complaints about wastewater, dust and gas emissions.

Does this mean prices growing through the roof? Possibly, but most of the buying for the next few months will have been done as winter sets in (it being far too cold to mine, especially in Heilongjiang province) just as happens every year. Temperatures in January in Heilongjiang can drop as low as -31C. The extreme cold weather can prevent graphite mining for up to six months a year.

But some upward price movement can be expected because these latest closures affect Shandong province, which is an important player in flake graphite.

However, to focus on the price reaction is one question. A quite separate one is: are we witnessing a harbinger of the future? While Heilongjiang’s mining will resume in the Spring, many of the important flake graphite mines in Shandong province are getting close to exhaustion. At some stage, non-China mines are going to need to fill the gap as Chinese production — or, at least, exporting — falters.

The trend is already the potential new producers’ friend: in 2007, China exported 670,570 tonnes of graphite (of all types); in 2012, the export total was 257,722 tonnes. How far the rest of the world has to go is shown by comparative 2012 figures for the next biggest producers: Brazil 22,933 tonnes, Mexico 21,284 tonnes and Canada 17,892 tonnes.

In Pingdu, 55 companies (mine operators and processors) have been closed. Pingdu can produce 100,000 tonnes a year of flake graphite.

As I reported here last year, Chinese producers do not have enough flake graphite in low-cost, accessible areas to meet the expected growth in global demand. This was the conclusion drawn in 2013 by a team from Mozambique graphite hopeful Syrah Resources after an inspection of several mines in China. In addition, environmental rule-tightening had led at that stage to some 200 mines closing. Syrah, in an assessment of the state of the graphite industry, said specialist research firms that follow the graphite market had estimated the present size of the global graphite market to be around one million tonnes a year.

As they pointed out, China’s domination resulted from its relatively low costs, labour particularly, which have enabled the country’s miners to undercut non-China producers. Furthermore, China had ample graphite resources located near infrastructure to meet global demands. China really entered the global graphite market in 1992, thus leading to closure of mines elsewhere which could not compete in terms of costs. China’s output rose from 114,774 tonnes in 1990 to 307,424 tonnes by 1994.

Most of the flake graphite comes from Shandong and Heilongjiang provinces. In the case of Shandong, it is home to most of China’s graphite processing plants. However, many of the mines in Shandong are typically deep and, consequently, water inflows are a problem. Furthermore, the average grade is low at between two per cent and three per cent total graphitic carbon (TGC). The graphite is associated with clays and processing is costly and environmentally damaging because mines use acids in the process. In the past, acid-rich tailings were deposited direct into local river systems.

You can see why mines are being closed.

So far as Heilongjiang province, in far northeast China, is concerned, many mine owners there transport their ore about 2,000 km to the processing plants in Shandong. In addition to rising costs of production, the Chinese industry faces an additional economic impost due to the winter closures: having to buy before the ice takes control ramps up warehousing and insurance costs.

So this all leads to our third question: will the non-China companies be ready to fill the gap? And this at a time when high-grade flake output needs not to just stand still at present production levels, but to increase by as much as six-fold to meet the meet the demand from lithium-ion battery makers.

One promising sign is that money is loosening up in terms of graphite backing. We have seen this with two neighbouring flake projects in Mozambique, both of which are owned by Australian companies. Syrah Resources (ASX:SYR) has just raised A$35 million while Triton Minerals (ASX:TON) pulled in A$1.6 million (and recently reported graphite intersections up to 156 metres). The difference in the sums was no comment on the quality of the projects; rather it reflected the level of advancement in work at the two. Now we have Valence Industries (ASX:VXL) out in the market for A$10.1 million to reopen the Uley mine in South Australia —closed, coincidentally, as a result of China’s price cutting of the early 1990s.

PRESIDENT’S 2014 NEW YEAR MESSAGE

Wednesday, January 8, 2014 @ 02:01 PM Author: FocusSiteAdmin
On December 20, 2013, Focus Graphite made graphite mining history by securing a 10-year offtake agreement with a Chinese industrial conglomerate for the purchase of up to 40,000 tonnes per year of Lac Knife’s concentrate production.
Markets will understand this agreement introduces a new level of stability to our Lac Knife Project just as China announces a halt to graphite production in Shandong Province effectively putting 20% of China’s flake graphite production on hold
That stability is founded on two key elements, namely: our goal of becoming one of the lowest cost producers of high purity flake graphite in the world, and; our mine-to-technology markets business strategy for value-added products.
The agreement propels Focus into a potentially advantageous position – both commercially and operationally.
Commercially, our toehold in the Chinese market endorses Focus Graphite’s ability to compete in any market. It bodes well for the company’s future global market positioning but especially for our shareholders who supported us during this long commodities market downturn.
Operationally, the offtake agreement leaves Focus management in the enviable position of confidently moving forward with our development timetable. Lac Knife – as evidenced by our 2012 Preliminary Economic Assessment and our subsequent 2013 PEA update -indicates a, long-term economic potential. As always, maximizing shareholder value remains a cornerstone of our corporate objectives.
Mine and Plant Financing is a priority and we aim to complete and close the financing discussions for Lac Knife as soon as possible.
As CEO Gary Economo and I have indicated, the timing and discussions of our financing plans are not dependent on the outcome of a feasibility study.
Our two-track development approach – the operational aspects of Lac Knife under my direction and, the marketing and financing aspects, under Gary’s direction – have been designed to move in parallel. They will come together this year.
As we move forward, my intention is to build upon 2013’s mining development activities in four major operational areas:
A revised NI 43-101 resource estimate is currently underway; assays from our 2013 infill drilling program are in hand and our updated resource will be included in our Feasibility Study to calculate a mineral reserve. The Mine Closure Plan is also underway for an expected submission during summer 2014.
Our Feasibility Study will reveal our revised mining and concentrate production capabilities and it will bring further certainty to the economic values we attach to our mining project.
Our Environmental and Social Impact Assessment efforts are well underway, including our consultative process with the community of Fermont and the Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam community.
Our continuing exploration activities include the Lac Knife property. It holds a number of potentially high-grade graphite targets worthy of further investigation. Our 2014 exploration drilling programs are in the planning stages now for Lac Knife, Lac Tetepisca Lac Guinecourt and a number of other graphite properties.
Looking back to 2013, Focus Graphite’s accomplishments were noteworthy. They underscored the depth and potential of our company, not only through our graphite enterprise, but also, our Kwyjibo rare earths and copper project. They are worth highlighting again:
Lac Knife
The publication of our updated Preliminary Economic Assessment revised our project economics. Our revised PEA included: an IRR of 36.4%(28.6% after tax); NPV of $317 million or $185 million after-tax on an 8% discounted cash flow basis; operating costs reduced by $367 per ton milled due to the elimination of the need to purify the concentrate by a third party. Operating costs are now estimated at $458 per tonne of concentrate with a $28 million reduction in working capital.
The announcement of our pilot plant test results showing:
• The average grade of the coarse size fraction (+ 80 mesh) was 98.3% Total Carbon* (“Ct”) compared with 97.4% Ct in the Phase 2 Locked Cycle Tests (“LCTs”) conducted in early 2013
• The average grade of the medium size fraction, less than 80 mesh and greater than 150 mesh in size, was 98.2% Ct compared with 97.4% Ct in the Phase 2 LCTs
• The average grade of the size fraction greater than 200 mesh was 98.0% Ct compared with 97.2% Ct in the Phase 2 LCTs
Kwyjibo
• Focus and our partner SOQUEM confirmed grades, thicknesses and continuity of the REE mineralization at Josette horizon on the Kwyjibo property. Our 2013 exploration program at Kwyjibo included additional drilling to further map the limits of the Fe-REE-Cu mineralization and tested new ground geophysical anomalies in the western sector of the property.
• A NI 43-101 resource calculation for Kwyjibo’s light and heavy rare earths and copper is expected to be released during the first half of 2014.
In Summary
2013 saw Focus management meet its operational and corporate objectives. Significant progress was made in Lac Knife’s development culminating with an historic, precedent-setting offtake agreement with China. It underscored our leading position in global markets by:
• Reaffirming our status. Lac Knife holds a world-class graphite resource. It is one of only a few high-grade, high-purity resources with the potential to supply into value added technology markets.
• Strengthening our path to production by providing a new level of security that further de-risks financing for potential institutional and strategic investors interesting in participating in Lac Knife’s financing. And, it bolsters the investment opportunity for individual investors by introducing an added layer of confidence in our stock.
• Positioning us globally. We foresaw a changing graphite market and we moved in lockstep with those change dynamics. The green technology revolution and demand from China will propel the technology-grade graphite sector to sustainable profitability. Focus is among the very few graphite companies that can successfully compete in a global market.
The market is coming now to more fully appreciate Focus Graphite’s underlying long-term value. This is evidenced not only by the offtake agreement, but also by the recent rise in share price and continued interest from potential strategic partners.
Our aim for 2014 and beyond is to build upon recent gains by focusing on achieving those fundamental milestones leading to permitting and production.
Paving the way, as we have, leaves us with the potential to help lead the graphite mining sector out of the market doldrums as the timing of production plans coincide with the anticipated growth in graphite demand from the technology sectors.
We wish all of Focus shareholders and stakeholders a prosperous and Happy New Year.
Don Baxter, P.Eng.
President and Chief Operating Officer

Saint Jean Carbon to acquire Minmet Carbons

2014-01-15 10:09 ET - News Release

Mr. Paul Ogilvie reports

SAINT JEAN CARBON STARTS 2014 WITH $1.4 MILLION REVENUE GENERATING ACQUISITION

Saint Jean Carbon Inc. has entered into a non-binding agreement with an arm's-length party to acquire Minmet Carbons Inc., a private company, a supplier of raw materials to the steel, foundry and mining industries since 1993. Saint Jean views this as an initial step to becoming a long-term supplier of industrial minerals. The company believes that having real revenues and profit will make Saint Jean an attractive junior mining company for investors as it moves forward with graphite production on its global properties. The company intends to sign a definitive agreement with respect to the Minmet acquisition shortly.

The chief executive officer of Saint Jean Carbon, Paul Ogilvie, stated: "We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to bring the Minmet operations and its president, Mr. Chris Wood, together with Saint Jean Carbon. Chris brings a wealth of carbon industry and product knowledge to the table as well as an extremely valuable network of industry supply and customer contacts. Our business goal is to acquire more business in 2014 and with Minmet's historical year-over-year revenues of about $1.4-million and a sales forecast for of about $2-million for 2014, we would have an excellent head start on that objective.

As noted, Mr. Wood's 20 plus years of experience in the industrial mineral sales is very important to us as we continue to acquire other business, and broaden our mineral offerings."

Flinders Acquires Flash Floatation Cells for Woxna Graphite, Sweden
Vancouver, Canada - Flinders Resources Limited ("Flinders" or the "Company") (TSXV: FDR) is pleased to announce that it has purchased key lead-order items for the Woxna processing facility in central Sweden, to facilitate its aim to re-establish the Woxna graphite project (the "Woxna Project") to its former position as a key supplier of graphite to Europe.

Flinders recently purchased flash floatation cells for the Woxna Project for a price substantially below new cost. The flash floatation cells have been purchased according to the design specifications in the Woxna Project Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") flowsheet (see press release dated September 3, 2013). The cells were manufactured for another project but not installed so are in almost new condition. The cells are currently in transit and expected to arrive at the Woxna Project mine site in Sweden by March 2014.

The Company also announces that it has also commenced electrical and mechanical site works at the brownfield Woxna Project graphite processing plant facility. The contractors, who are locally based, are tasked with the refurbishment and installation of existing and new equipment on site.

Commenting on the announcement, Flinders' President and CEO, Blair Way said: "We are very pleased to have been able to acquire the long lead time floatation cells at a highly competitive cost. This acquisition and the commencement of the electrical and mechanical site works enables Flinders to be on track to fit out the processing facility at Woxna by Q3 this year. The concept is to stage development of the project according to the PEA study completed in 2013, in order to minimize risk and capital requirements, whilst retaining flexibility to increase processing rates over time. I look forward to providing regular updates on our progress on site as we advance from explorer to producer".

IBM builds graphene chip that’s 10,000 times faster, using standard CMOS processes

By Sebastian Anthony on January 30, 2014 at 9:28 am27 Comments
Sebastian Anthony holding a wafer of graphene chips at IBM Research
Share This Article
Engineers at IBM Research have built the world’s most advanced graphene-based chip, with performance that’s 10,000 times better than previous graphene ICs. The key to the breakthrough is a new manufacturing technique that allows the graphene to be deposited on the chip without it being damaged (something that has heretofore been very hard to achieve). Perhaps more importantly, though, this new method is actually compatible with standard silicon CMOS processes. In short, we are closer than ever before to realizing a commercial graphene computer chip.

As luck would have it, I actually got to hold a wafer of these graphene chips when I visited IBM Research in December. That’s my hand in the photo up there, and the shot below of a graphene wafer being tested was taken by me. I also got to see the machines and tools that IBM uses to create bulk graphene, and the CMOS fab where the underlying silicon wafers are produced. In short, I am rather uniquely positioned to tell you all about IBM’s graphene chip — including the stuff that isn’t mentioned in the press release.

How IBM Research built a graphene integrated circuit
How IBM Research built a graphene integrated circuit
What IBM Research has built is a silicon chip, on a standard 200mm silicon wafer, using a standard CMOS fabrication process. This chip, which is a radio frequency (RF) receiver, is just a normal chip, with resistors, capacitors, and transistors — except for one bit: the transistor channels are made of graphene. The chip’s function is very rudimentary: It receives and restores wireless signals in the 4.3GHz range.

What’s the breakthrough, then? Basically, previous attempts at building GFETs (graphene field-effect transistors) have used standard BEOL (back end of line) processes, where the active components (the transistor and its graphene channel) are built on the wafer first, and then the rest of the passive components (capacitors, resistors) and interconnects are added. The problem is, due to graphene’s weak adhesion and fragile single-atom-thick composition, this process damages the GFETs. To get around this, IBM builds the passive components first, and then only deposits a layer of graphene right at the end, to complete the fabrication of the transistors. It’s a relatively simple change, but it works rather well. [Research paper: doi:10.1038/ncomms4086 - "Graphene radio frequency receiver integrated circuit"]

In case you were wondering, the graphene is grown in a furnace. A copper foil is placed in a furnace at 1,050C (1,922F) with an atmosphere of methane, resulting in a single layer of graphene being deposited on the foil. The copper is dissolved away in a bath, leaving a layer of graphene floating there. The silicon wafer, with all the passive components already in place, is then used to “scoop up” the graphene layer out of the bath. (Bear in mind that the graphene is transparent, too.) This is currently the easiest way to grow large amounts of graphene, but the IBM engineers told me that the quality of graphene grown in this way isn’t great, and that having to destroy the copper substrate is expensive and inefficient.

Moving forward, it’s important to note that we’re still very much talking about an analog chip. IBM Research still hasn’t found a way of giving graphene the all-important bandgap that is required for the fabrication of digital logic, and thus graphene-based computer processors. For next-gen processors, IBM seems to be focused on carbon nanotubes, which can have a band gap, over graphene. (More on that later, when I write up my trip to IBM Research.) Assuming we can one day create large quantities of high-quality graphene, though, there are plenty of radio and optical applications that could benefit — in theory, graphene is capable of operating at frequencies as high as 500GHz, well beyond any other material currently used in RF applications.

Kiril Mugerman: Graphite Investors Should Look for Large Flakes, Small Resources

Source: Kevin Michael Grace of The Mining Report (3/4/14)

Companies that boast 80,000 ton-per-year production or high purity levels don't always impress Kiril Mugerman, mining analyst with Industrial Alliance Securities. Why? Because finding buyers for all those tons is a huge challenge, and thrifty end-users like to purify lower-grade graphite in-house. In this interview with The Mining Report, Mugerman explains why he looks for smaller projects that can hit revenue targets, and indicates which of the 176 graphite projects out there are worth your attention.

Gigafactory
By Tesla Motors
http://www.teslamotors.com/blog/gigafactory

As we at Tesla reach for our goal of producing a mass market electric car in approximately three years, we have an opportunity to leverage our projected demand for lithium ion batteries to reduce their cost faster than previously thought possible. In cooperation with strategic battery manufacturing partners, we’re planning to build a large scale factory that will allow us to achieve economies of scale and minimize costs through innovative manufacturing, reduction of logistics waste, optimization of co-located processes and reduced overhead.

The Gigafactory is designed to reduce cell costs much faster than the status quo and, by 2020, produce more lithium ion batteries annually than were produced worldwide in 2013. By the end of the first year of volume production of our mass market vehicle, we expect the Gigafactory will have driven down the per kWh cost of our battery pack by more than 30 percent. Here are some details about what the Gigafactory will look like.

Xmet Engages Asinii Drilling to Commence Blackflake Drill Program

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 28, 2014) - Xmet Inc. ("Xmet" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:XME) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a contract with Asinii Drilling Inc. to start drilling on the Company's 100% owned Blackflake Project. Line cutting has now been concluded and ground geophysics, referenced in Xmet's March 20, 2014 news release, is continuing.

The drill program, which will begin in the coming days, will initially target the large electromagnetic anomaly described in Xmet's February 24th, 2014 news release. Management expects this initial phase of the drill program, which will involve about 1500 metres of drilling, will be completed prior to the winter ice break-up and will release the results as it receives them.

"We are very excited about our progress to date and we happy to be at the stage where we can start to determine the nature of these anomalies. The Blackflake Project has evolved from a single target to a multiple target project, each of which we view as highly prospective. Given the number of bedrock anomalies identified to date, Xmet expects that the total drill program will extend over a number of months. Details on the next phase will be determined upon completion of this initial phase," said Alexander Stewart, Xmet's Chairman and CEO.

About Xmet's Blackflake Project

Xmet's Blackflake Project comprises over 29,000 acres of 100% owned claims approximately 60km to the northwest of Hearst, Ontario and is adjacent to Zenyatta's Hydrothermal Graphite Deposit. Xmet has now conducted three airborne electromagnetic surveys, VTEM and TDEM, which discovered multiple electromagnetic conductors making the targets highly prospective for further exploration. Xmet has developed an excellent working relationship with the Constance Lake First Nation, with whom the company signed an ongoing Exploration Agreement. Xmet has received all necessary permits from Ontario's Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.

Xmet also announces grants of incentive stock options to directors and officers of Xmet. Stock options to purchase an aggregate of 900,000 common shares have been granted pursuant to Xmet's Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). The options are priced at $0.12 per share, expire in five years from the date of issue and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Option Plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Certain information in this press release may contain forward-looking statements. This information is based on current expectations that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results might differ materially from results suggested in any forward-looking statements. Xmet assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons why actual results could differ from those reflected in the forward looking-statements unless and until required by securities laws applicable to Xmet.
