I don't own any shares in this company yet but am considering them for a purchase at some point. Will use this thread to gather things I find of interest.
Here's link to their website - http://www.focusmetals.ca/english/
and here's a link to the article that first peaked my interest in them.
INTERVIEW: A graphite junior with a different focus
...Do you have a process developed?
We have a joint venture that we own 40% of, and we have a process that is in the middle of being patented right now. The process, which has a number of patents surrounding it, allows us to go directly to graphene from the ore we have at Lac Knife – without any other processing steps.
So we can use the raw ore, 17% C on average, to directly produce graphene in large volumes, economically. Our process is simple and because of the way the technique works, it also allows us to produce pure graphite at 99.99% for Li-ion applications, among others.
Our scientists are working towards finalising the patents...
