Graphene is the future. Plain and simple.
It's 200 times stronger than steel, thinner than a sheet of paper, and more conductive than copper.
And that's not all...
Researchers the world over are using it for critical advances in a variety of industries. Graphene makes:
?Solar – 50x-100x more efficient
?Semiconductors – 50x-100x faster
?Aircraft – 70% lighter
We're talking batteries that charge 10x faster and store 10x more power...
Phones and computer displays that bend and fold...
And even the potential to make people and things completely invisible.
Indeed, the Huffington Post notes graphene will “change the world.”
It's so vital to our future that it's been named a "supply critical mineral" and a "strategic mineral" by the United States and the European Union.
Yet only a few companies around the world have access to mineral resource that is required to make graphene. And 70% of supply is controlled by China.
So the setup is perfect for any non-Chinese supply to become an extremely lucrative investment, just like rare earths a few years ago.
•Graphite demand is rising, and Focus Graphite is well-positioned to profit given its recent off-take agreement and its promising feasibility study for its Lac Knife Project.
•Graphite demand is set to rise rapidly as it is an essential element of lithium-ion batteries and other burgeoning technologies; supply is limited--coming mostly from China (<2% from North America).
•Given these points Focus Graphite should be able to find favorable financing that doesn't heavily dilute shareholders.
•Consequently, even in a bearish scenario the company's Lac Knife Project is undervalued, and the shares have at least 75% upside, making the shares a "strong buy.".

In an interview Focus said they will sell only half their production to China and the remaining to other companies. Good.
China is signed to buy 90 percent of Lac's production. China beat Tesla to the water hole. Unless Focus can assure Tesla of another site with high grade graphite and plenty of it we may have to consider Tesla's silent partner as being some one else. I am open to others input on that.
DID YOU HEAR TESLA IS PARTNERING WITH A GRAPHITE MINING COMPANY. TESLA NEEDS LOTS OF GRAPHITE/GRAPHENE TO POWER THEIR IMPROVED LITHIUM BATTERIES. WORD IS NOT OUT YET WHO THE PARTNER IS. I GOT IT DOWN TO FOUR COMPANYS. THE COMPANYS STOCK THEY SAY WILL INCREASE 2000 PERCENT OVERNITE WHEN ANNOUNCED. COULD IT BE FOCUS GRAPHITE, INC?
Well I'm back after a year and a half leave of absence. Looks like this great product got screwed. I believe the tobacco companies have put this out of its miseree.
Boy was I wrong. It goes to show you how deceptive a CEO can be to your face over the phone.

.ELKO - A claims dispute is shaping up over land at Coeur d'Alene Mines Corp.'s Rochester Mine in Pershing County after Rye Patch Gold Corp. staked claims when subsidiary Coeur Rochester failed to renew them in time.
Both Rye Patch and Coeur have filed lawsuits against each other, each claiming they have the right to the roughly 400 claims, and Rye Patch contends Coeur Rochester is claim jumping.
Coeur won a 15-day restraining order, however, against Rye Patch on Monday in Pershing County District Court, Stefany Bales, director of corporate communications for Idaho-based Coeur, said today.
Coeur's motion for a preliminary injunction against Rye Patch is the next step in the proceedings. The court in Lovelock will hold a hearing on the motion next Thursday, according to Rye Patch attorney Thomas Erwin of Reno.
"The company intends to vigorously prosecute its claims for relief," he said of Rye Patch's contention that its title to the claims is superior to Rochester's and should have quiet title.
"Coeur didn't pay the maintenance fees. The claims are forfeited," Erwin said today.
Bales agreed Coeur failed to make payment in time, but she said Coeur is asserting its possessory rights because of the long time the company held those rights and has mined at Rochester.
"We will defend those. This will all be argued in court," Bales said.
The disputed claims involve up to 20 percent of Rochester's mineral reserves and a substantial amount of mineralized material, according to Coeur. The claims cover nearly 18.83 square miles, according to Rye Patch.
Erwin said Rye Patch started locating the claims, constructing monuments on them and posting the locations, and Coeur Rochester started posting on top of them.
Rochester is a long-time silver mine that started mining again this year after processing silver from residual leaching for the past few years. The produced roughly 1 million ounces of silver and 4,282 ounces of gold in the first nine months of this year and expects higher production next year.
"The mine continues to operate and will continue to operate under its plan of operations during legal proceedings," Bales said.
Bales said there are more than 300 people working at Rochester, including 70 contractors.
Coeur filed the legal complaint against Rye Patch in Pershing County asserting that its claims are valid and the company has a valid possessory interest in the claims. The company stated it is seeking damages and an injunction against Rye Patch interfering in its claims.
Rye Patch filed its lawsuit in Washoe County District Court in Reno to assert its claims for relief for quiet title, trespass, slander of title and injunctive relief.
"Rye Patch has a substantial property position in that district and had them for years," Erwin said.
Rye Patch holds the Lincoln Hill, Wilco and Jessup projects in the Rochester vicinity, on the Oceana Trend, and its newest staked claims include portions of the Rochester and satellite Packard sites.
Vancouver-based Rye Patch stated in an announcement that it began locating its LH mining claims in October and by Nov. 21 had located and acted upon more than 400 mining claims. The deadline for payment was Aug. 31.
In the lawsuit Rye Patch filed, it states it informed Coeur d'Alene Mines President Mitchell Krebs on Nov. 29 that it had filed the claims. The lawsuit also states any unauthorized attempt by Coeur Rochester to explore and mine minerals on the claims is intentional trespass. Rye Patch seeks monetary damages

Once you look over the company's past history you start to realize that its all fabrication from the get go.
Somebody mentioned that a while back and so we all just assumed he knew what he was talking about. Now I don't believe anything especially from the company.

Interesting indeed.
When are you guys going to learn that everything ICBT puts out is made up.
I predict the two dollar range in 2012.
What time of the year is it best to buy in low on a travel stock? I see PCLN has dived a bit sinse I last looked.
I can't believe a high profile guy like you is playing a stock like this. I can only assume your into smoke and mirrors.
That is a very fare prediction.
AND THE BULL GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON..........
NOT GOOD!
Of all the gold mining companies out there only about ten percent if that have any real gold mining activity going on. The rest are smoke and mirrors like PCFG. I can pan for gold in a river and find a nugget of gold and announce to the world that I am a gold mining company and I am mining gold and you'll buy shares of my gold mining company. The only difference between my gold mining company and PCFG is PCFG has a few more nuggets than mine.
No! Better sell!!! Every month I peak back and its lower than the month before.
Here I check back and pps has dived significantly. Its turned into another one of those.
I thought you had moved on like I finally did. Its a dead horse with all the negative history behind it. Who's going to believe anything anymore from the company. Maybe you and Garth ought to get engaged.
I hated bashers too like crowin but then I realize in time that he was right. The company is not what it says it is except in their dreams. ICBT = FoolsGold
Support The Garth Fund. Buy ICBT. Your funds will be well spent towards a heart transplant and divorce settlement.
Its like I was saying before. The company has to wait it out to get the old wise investors to leave and a whole new set of suckers to step in to take their place. You have been here long enough to know the CEO is a crook. Your strategy is to play up on the new investors money. Whatever works. Good luck.
Unbelievable. I bought 2000 shares of Priceline some ten years ago or so around five dollars a share and look at it now. Unfortunately I sold it back then around the same price I bought it. Who ever knew. My hats off to Captain Kirk.
Looks like the brokers who do the NSS are protected at all costs.
Zeros are running the company.
