5:16 pm ET April 14, 2022 (Accesswire) Print
KINGSTON, ON / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2022 / Focus Graphite Inc. ("Focus" or the "Company ) (TSX.V:FMS) announced today that at the upcoming annual and special shareholder meeting of May 19, 2022, the shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed appropriate, pass a special resolution approving an amendment to the Company's articles to consolidate the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for every ten (10) pre-consolidation common shares outstanding (the "Consolidation").
There are currently 551,663,902 common shares issued and outstanding. post-Consolidation there will be approximately 55,166,390 common shares issued and outstanding.
No fractional common shares of the Company will be issued if, as a result of the Consolidation, a registered shareholder would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share. Instead, the Company will round any fractional shares resulting from the Consolidation in the following manner: a registered shareholders holding 0.50 or more fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share, and a registered shareholder holding less than 0.50 of a fractional share will be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
The Consolidation will affect all Shareholders uniformly and will not affect any Shareholders' percentage interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Consolidation would otherwise result in a Shareholder owning a fractional share. In addition, the Consolidation will not affect any Shareholder's proportionate voting rights, subject to the treatment of fractional shares described above.
The Consolidation is subject to shareholder and TSXV approval and the effective date of the Consolidation will be announced once all approvals have been received. No name change will be made in conjunction with the Consolidation.

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.

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.
