Sep. 4, 2015 / PRZen / SYDNEY, Australia -- Imagine Intelligent Materials Pty Ltd (Imagine IM) has executed a sales representation and materials certification agreement with MRL Corporation Ltd (ASX:MRF).
Under the agreement, Imagine IM will provide characterisation analysis and certification of MRL’s graphite and graphene products with the objective of identifying the optimum applications and customers for their graphene and securing supply agreements with Imagine IM’s customers and licensees.
MRL will pay Imagine a commission on sales of MRL’s Certified Graphene and other graphite products that carry Imagine IM’s Certification Mark. The certification and licence agreement comes as MRL prepares its first production output from its high - grade graphite projects in Sri Lanka.
Imagine IM has research and development agreements under way with leading graphene research groups in Australia at UOW, Monash, Deakin and CSIRO.
The company has the exclusive commercialisation rights to a number of patents for a process to manufacture graphene without surfactants, licensed from the University of Wollongong. The company has filed a number of additional graphene-related patent applications in its own right.
About Imagine IM

About MRL (ASX:MRF)
MRL is aiming to develop an underground mining operation to extract high-grade,crystalline vein graphite, which is unique to Sri Lanka. The Company holds exclusive rights to exploration licenses covering approximately 6,300 hectares in area, with historical workings located within nearly all license grids.
After the best part of four decades studying resource stocks, including five years partnered with Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest in their company Far East Capital, Mr Grigor has retired from broking and is intent on finding and supporting growth stories for the long haul.
“I’m really done with broking. Broking is very much about living by the day. I want to be involved in something with a long-term growth profile,” he said.
“It’s funny how as you get older you become more patient for long-term things.”
More news set in motion at the beginning of the year and last year is coming. Also it is logical to expect more assets voted on and finalized and MRL is running its steps with prudent discipline.
