People are trying to take a position here and there aren’t many shares available. Look for news in January-February or sooner. Focus owns some of the most viable property for large-flake graphite in the world outside of China. At .40 per share, the market cap is still only $22 mil. The company’s graphite properties alone are worth well more than 30x that. This stock is tremendously under-valued.

Selling slowed down and starting to bottom out possibly... Looking into this one
Graphite/Lithium has been cooling off for awhile now.

I just saw a multi=page article in the L.A. Times about the pursuit of lithium to support auto batteries in which they're mining all over the world. It's my belief that graphene batteries are superior to lithium based batteries, but I'm no expert. Is any lithium used in a graphene battery?
I don't know that we can achieve virtually editing atomic structures to create graphene, but if we could, we could either convert CO2 directly into graphene and oxygen, or be converted through photosynthesis to a plant form that can be converted to graphene. I don't know if this is possible, but if it were it could be the process that could end man made climate change as we turn a problem, CO2, into a solution, graphene and oxygen.
Of course without graphene, if we converted more CO2 into plant life we wouldn't need to find other ways of getting rid of CO2. I believe our oceans provide the greatest opportunities, the key is getting the nutrients which are 400 feet below the surface to the surface where photosynthesis can occur. Something like 75% of the worlds oceans are void of life at the surface.

After looking at the company I did decide to take a small position. I like the way their aligned with a graphene developer and their capability of supplying high quality graphite to them, and other users.
Besides graphene, I believe that carbon nanotubes will be the next big development, and those already in graphene are most likely to also get into the nanotubes. Both technologies offer tremendous growth potential.
I cannot say if this, or any particular company may align with Tesla, or any other car maker in the development of graphene based batteries, but from what I've read, it's capacity and fast charging capability should make them the replacement for lithium based batteries in the not too distant future. I believe there are many other applications, but car batteries should demand a lot of material and be quite lucrative to those who become the major suppliers.

Someone suggested that I look at Focus Graphite when we were discussing graphene. I see where the company has a relationship with a company working with graphene but it's not clear to me if they have an equity interest in that company. Does anyone here know.
Also, are they by chance also working with carbon nanotubes. I believe that both graphene and carbon nanotubes have tremendous growth potential and can be used in many applications, both have tremendous strength.
It's my understanding that Tesla is considering graphene based batteries for their cars, they would charge dramatically faster and provide greater range. Anyone know about other carmakers considering this approach.
Thanks,
Gary
Ready to ride the graphite wave!. I have a good feeling this is going to be a big player in the EV world and Graphene world industry.
They are apart of National Alliance for Technology Battery’s, basically forming a conglomerate of EV companies in Canada
Life changing stock. Get on now.
Can you please explain why?

Anybody has a guess when the RTO will be completed ? Stria has been halted going on 3 months. A more comprehensive news release was to be issued by Stria in the "near future" disclosing details of the Acquisition but that was also about 3 months ago. I guess near future can mean anything..
Lithium is a rare earth that is in short supply. If the EV revolution is happening there will not be enough lithium to satisfy demand. That's why this play is about graphene and high flake graphite.
Graphene will be the new lithium in ION batteries moving forward.
I loaded the boat at .01.
This is my retirement. My lithium stock was a no brainer and it exploded. Lithium needs graphite and this is a no brainer. I’ve been watching this stock for years. It’s time.
Quiet in here, i expect that will change as this thing moves up.in at 3 cents.

So there's news tonight for FCSMF. Don't know if there'll be volume tomorrow, but I'm watching and might go in if there is.
Now..after showing what it looks like when people troll..i will say good luck to you and everyone invested here..to want people to lose their money is just stupid..especially right now.I hope things turn around and you make some money..I believe in graphite as well..just not invested in it atm..gold and silver jrs atm ..some bio..and of course nano.
My last post here.
Your going to get people way to far to each side..how many people do you know though who troll their own investment..if I was invested in this stock and lost .28 a share from the high..should I then troll this stock ?
Most of us have skin in this game. When there’s a new guy that shows up and acts like it’s the best thing since sliced bread that’s where there’s a proble. The ones saying 5$. Stay modest and cut the bull.
Steve has to come clean and be more transparent on state of affairs.
And this investment isn't.. look at the SP man...if thats all you compare it with
It's a free world to say anything right ? There is nothing wrong with being critical of a company but when it's done in a matter that is pure BS day in day out by people not even invested then it is pure trolling or someone is getting paid
How does it look when we play along stevies game? It’s been shady since the beginning
See it's easy to be critical of a stock you dont own..quite frankly I could care less about this stock but this is how it looks when people play your game.
But Did I ask for your opinion?
Hes mocking it because it's in the toilet.
Really ? Go ahead.
Hey..how's this dumpster fire doing..all time low I see..sny pencils for sale ?
OTTAWA & SINGAPORE – 18 September 2018 — Grafoid Inc. (“GRAFOID”) is pleased to announce the strategic partnership with Liquinex, a company specializing in waste water engineering needs, to provide commercial scale water treatment solutions using Grafoid’s innovative MESOGRAF™ graphene- based filtration technology.
The increasing demand for clean drinking water, rising scarcity of water resources, rapid industrialization, and increasing construction activities represent real-world factors that necessitate the need for scalable water treatment solutions around the globe.
Compounded by other factors, such as the increased support from government regarding treatment and proper disposal of water, the global market for water treatment solutions is expected to grow at an annual compounded growth rate of 7.4% from 2017 to 20271.
GPURE’s Graphenegraphene- based filtration products are readily scalable to meet these commercial demands making them ideal for industrial level, niche applications such as the concentration of beverages, treatment of crude oil/water mixtures, biofuel and industrial wastewater treatments where reverse osmosis (RO) is not suitable due to the fouling tendencies when concentrated liquids are purged through RO cartridges.
Conventional filtering materials (e.g. activated carbon, zeolites, flocculants etc.,) have certain limitations of pH-sensitivity, poor efficiency and recoverability to treat a mixture of wide variety of contaminants present in the wastewater. In contrast, MESOGRAF™ graphene, being a 2D-material with high surface-area and functional-group tunability, exhibits outstanding adsorption and recyclability capabilities for a wide variety of contaminants.
Dr. Kiran Manga, Grafoid’s Engineering Manager states: “Our MESOGRAF™ surface engineered graphene derivatives have been successfully deployed to meet the specific requirements (e.g. removal of organic dyes from textile and leather industries, phenols and heavy metal ions from ore-processing industry etc.) of our industrial clients. Our GPURE technologies are able to remove up to 99.8% phenol contaminants, 99% dye removal from real-time industrial wastewater samples at neutral pH and room temperature.”
Bashir Ahmad, CEO of Liquinex Group Pte Ltd. confirmed the significance of the strategic partnership with Grafoid as a critical component to a successful roll-out by commenting, “Effective water treatment solutions require strong partnerships and alignment between both public sector, such as IPI Singapore, and private organizations to implement broad based adoption of innovative technologies – such as Grafoid – will be critical. We are empowered by this partnership with Grafoid and foresee tremendous potential.”
Gary Economo, CEO of Grafoid acknowledged the potential global impact of the partnership with Liquinex, observing that, “We know that water is an integral part of many industrial processes and increasing demand for water for industrial uses will result from increasing economic activity. We believe that our GPURE technology can play a critical role in securing the future of water treatment around the globe. ”
Liquinex and Grafoid will present their innovative water treatment solutions at TechInnovation 2018, Halls A & B, booth A6 at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore from 18 to 19 September 2018. TechInnovation is a leading industry-technology matching event organized by IPI.

I would like to know what you guys think about gpne. I am relatively new to the graphite market and have some shares of the one I just mentioned but looking for some others.
any help very much appreciated, thanks
Hi
I haven’t heard any of that news.
People have been coming up with all kinds of theories.
Are you mocking the company or are serious?
Hi Clear, I'm going up to my camp at Lac Baskitong in April to visit my Uncle , Do you know anything about Focus share consolidation I herd 35 to 1 buy back is that true. and should load up on shares now.
My-be a shovel and wheel barrel for Gary and Dr, Gordon Chiu that is what I have to do , I just purchased in 2017 an old 1950 Farmall Cub International tractor all restored with a front loader.
why do they need to spend so much money just do it the old fashion way buy a dump truck a good used track hoe and a front loader and crusher and start digging . how hard is that.
Thanks for the insight and the tip.
I told you. Just as big of a winner as uncle Stevie’s
Raising 160 million or so for a Canadian junior is not an easy task. Especially for graphite bankers don’t understand it. There’s not many graphite mines that have opened in the last 50 years+ to compare with.
They have done continued efforts across the globe to secure funds. More efforts than any other junior. If focus doesn’t succeed in getting funds no one else will. Especially not in Canada. They been spending lots of time in china. Something has to give eventually. All the hires for Grafoid aren’t done for show.
Type v.fms on stockhouse.com there’s good discussions going on there.
Clear,
Whats your opinion now? Are they better positioned for financing?

FMS.V - Daily Candlesticks
It is an extremely soft mineral at 1 to 2 on Mohs' hardness scale. It is black and has a black streak. (Streak is the color of a mineral when it is crushed to a powder). Its softness and streak make graphite useful in making "lead" for pencils. Crystals are uncommon, but when they occur, they are found as rough, six-sided (hexagonal) flakes, as in the drawing. It breaks into minute, flexible flakes that easily slide over one another. Mineralogists call this basal cleavage. This feature is the cause of graphite's distinctive greasy feel. It is this greasy characteristic that makes graphite a good lubricant. Because it is a solid material, it is known as a dry lubricant. Graphite is the only non-metal element that is a good conductor of electricity. In nature, graphite is found in two distinct forms, flake graphite and lump graphite. Lump graphite is more compact than flake and lacks the distinctive flaking mentioned earlier.
Name
Graphite was named from the Greek verb graphein meaning to write because it was used in the manufacture of pencils. The name was given by Abraham Gottlob Werner in 1789.
Its "Old World" (that is, old European) name was plumbago which means black lead, a reference to its use in pencils.
Sources
It is estimated that the world reserves of graphite exceed 800 million tons. China is the most significant graphite-producing nation, providing nearly one-half of the United States' annual graphite demand. Flake graphite is also imported to the United States from Brazil, Canada, and Madagascar. Lump graphite is imported from Sri Lanka. Graphite resources in the United States are very small. At one time a significant deposit at Ticonderoga, New York, was exploited, but this source no longer produces graphite. For a number of years, the United States has not produced natural mineral graphite and is completely dependent on the combination of imported, synthetic graphite, and recycled graphite sources.
Uses
Because graphite flakes slip over one another, giving it its greasy feel, graphite has long been used as a lubricant in applications where "wet" lubricants, such as oil, can not be used. Technological changes are reducing the need for this application.
Natural graphite is used mostly in what are called refractory applications. Refractory applications are those that involve extremely high heat and therefore demand materials that will not melt or disintegrate under such extreme conditions. One example of this use is in the crucibles used in the steel industry. Such refractory applications account for the majority of the usage of graphite.
It is also used to make brake linings, lubricants, and molds in foundries. A variety of other industrial uses account for the remaining graphite consumed each year.
Graphene's emergence as the "new silicon" and Focus Metals' participation at the graphene development and patenting level primes our company - and our shareholders - to reap the rewards from emerging applications that will replace aging computing, communications and industrial technologies.
According to the renowned research scientist Dr. Gordon Chiu, head of Focus Metals' Graphene Joint Venture, the quality of the graphite source - which Focus Metals holds in abundance - directly affects the quality and performance state of graphene, an allotrope of carbon that holds unique physical properties.
"Scientifically and commercially, our business program looks for definites; looks to financially minimize risk, and; ultimately, we look to maximize shareholder value," Dr. Chiu said.
Graphene is considered to be one of the strongest substances known to science. It occurs naturally in graphite; is 200 times stronger than steel and is so thin it is transparent, but, unlike its source, diamond, it is flexible and electrically conductive.
It is anticipated the first consumer products using graphene will be released by the fourth quarter of 2011 or early 2012 as components of computing or communications devices.
As a transistor, graphene holds remarkable advantages over silicon in terms of processing speed and, more importantly, by obviating the need for internal cooling fans as it functions at room temperature.
As a component for industrial, aviation and infrastructural use, for example, graphene's lightness and strength provide opportunities for those sectors to re-think engineering design and functionality.
Graphene for use in graphene-saturated battery and super-charging capacitor applications sFor investors in those sectors, the long-term cost-savings inherent with those sectoral applications are incalculable at this time.
The trillion dollars spent globally on research and development on fullerenes and carbon nano-tubes during the last two decades laid the scientific groundwork for today's application development of graphene.
The difference today is that graphene provides a stable, practical and useful material which has, as of yet, no equal in nature, in science, or in manufactured applications.
Graphene, according to some observers, will change the way we live.
But what is it?
- Graphene is taken from graphite, which is made up of weakly bonded layers of carbon.
Graphene is composed of carbon atoms arranged in tightly bound hexagons just one atom thick.
Three million sheets of graphene on top of each other would be 1mm thick.
The band structure of graphite was first theorised and calculated by P.R. Wallace in 1947, though for it to exist in the real world was thought impossible.
Due to the timing of this discovery, some conspiracy theorists have linked it to materials at the Roswell "crash site".
In 2004, teams including Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov demonstrated that single layers could be isolated, resulting in the award of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2010.
The FMS Graphene Joint Venture
Focus Metals Inc., through its New York-based joint venture headed by Dr. Chiu, its Chief Scientist, surprised the scientific community in early 2011 when it announced its entrance into the graphene development arena - a domain dominated by industrial heavyweights IBM, Intel and Samsung.
The FMS Joint Venture, however, distinguishes itself with an understanding it has no competitors in its class, and its commercial development interests, under Dr. Chiu's direction, are focused on high-value, near-to-market graphene applications.
(The proprietary nature of some 25 specific projects at this time preclude the company from identifying its commercial development targets).
The joint venture's goal, said Dr. Chiu, "is to find a basket of self-sustaining technologies that require Focus Metals' participation to help them scale to their ultimate objectivies."
"They will need tons - not kilos - of graphene for their manufacturing processes," Dr. Chiu said. "And the quality of the graphite will directly affect the graphene. We (Focus Metals) have a significant advantage here."
Graphene is a remarkable substance.
Tens of billions of dollars are currently being spent on graphene research globally at university laboratories and in corporate research and development facilities in three principal sectors, namely: consumer electronics; computing devices and, industrial materials.
Additional research on a smaller scale is being applied to bio-medical application discoveries throughout the world.
