Who are you talking about? Do you communicate with them?

"Graphene seems to me to have many similarities to scandium, not in use, but in structure of the industry it operates in; although there is actually scandium in use atm but not much."

In the nicest way; What the?

Graphene on the Road to Stardom

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/bus...-road-to-stardom/story-fnciihm9-1227358206445

"Warwick Grigor, of Far East Capital, who is running hard with the graphene story, figures that if just 5 per cent of car owners around the world went for the new high-end tyres, and 80 grams of graphene was used in each tyre, that would require 6800 tonnes of graphene, against the present output of about 1000 tonnes."

"Here’s a new one from MRL Corp (MRF) — of which more in a moment — and explains that this material “is as versatile as any discovered on Earth. Its amazing properties as the lightest and strongest material, compared with its ability to conduct heat and electricity better than anything else, mean it can be integrated into a huge number of applications.”

"Now MRL says it can do the same as Talga. This sent shares up 152.9 per cent on Wednesday, followed by another 11.6 per cent on Thursday. MRL ended the week at 7.7c — which would have been good news for the investors in a just-closed $1 million placement at 4c a share.

The junior’s project is in Sri Lanka, which is re-emerging as a graphite player. The country, when it was the British colony of Ceylon, was a significant producer of graphite, especially during the two world wars when other sources were unavailable. In 1916, Ceylon was satisfying 30 per cent of the world’s need for graphite, and in the second conflict more than 6000 shallow pits were being worked along with the large commercial mines.

MRL says it has run tests that show its graphite is amenable to single-step extraction of graphene and that “the quality of the prepared graphene from MRL’s is outstanding and comparable with the quality of graphene prepared by synthetic routes”.

As the company further tells us, graphite occurs as amorphous, flake or crystalline vein — and Sri Lanka is the only commercial source of the last, “the highest quality of naturally occurring material in the world”.

Grigor says Talga has the advantage of low-cost, open-pit mining while MRL will have to mine underground. But the latter provides an early-stage entry for investors who missed out on Talga."

Could be wrong! DYOR !!!!

Kind Regards

"amorphous, flake and crystalline" is just nonsense. have posted on this before. good luck to talga but they haven't released a raman analysis so we don't know the quality of the graphene. also talga is so far north that even the reindeer head south for the winter.
