CS Vague agreements? Where did you get that from? My take is they are anything but vague. Technical VRS spec sheets, rigorous testing of those specs by a Chinese test centre that has given the VRS products a clean bill of health for application across a mindblowing set of technical verticals. Is there another company out there with that pedigree in the eyes of the Chinese?

Interesting post yesterday about how the Chinese regard MOUs as binding, just like contracts.

There is, however, one important difference which none of you geniuses appear to have picked up on: contracts are for firm delivery of a given product over a given timescale for a given price. These MOUs are just vague agreements to explore how graphene can be used in various areas over an indefinite timeframe with no mention of volumes or cost/revenue.

Notice the difference?

With iii . You could sell loads to others .

[xiaoyaoma] 04/2/2019 11:56

They already have a mou with ctce

[xiaoyaoma] 04/2/2019 11:54

16000 square millimetres isn't that big;)

The incorporation of graphene into concrete, anti-corrosion coatings, 3D printing of concrete and certain rail projects would relate to CTCE Group

Hi Spike, Much more likely to be China National Building Material who are part of global fortune 500. Interestingly they are mega investors in solar having built lots of solar manufacturing plants for photovoltaic cells as well as buying or partnering with companies around the world esp in DE & UK. On top of this they are the market leaders for composites and light weight building structures = smart buildings as well as churning out 10,000 blades for renewable energy windmills (light weighting huge here too). That is one hell of a partner!

[bootie64] 04/2/2019 11:48

Well Spike they certainly fit in with todays RNS,

The incorporation of graphene into concrete, anti-corrosion coatings, 3D printing of concrete and certain rail projects.


Huge amounts of concrete in that video!

How old are you? Do you get a rush from dopamine when you get likes. And experience low serotonin when you get dislikes. This is the follow the leader forum;)

[cheek212] 04/2/2019 11:46

Volumes are threw the floor now! The VRS story needs to be sold to a wider audience or we are going to be stuck around this level for sometime I feel!

Neill's latest tweet suggests to me that CTCE is the new Fortune 500 MOU ;0)

Superb effort neill and co. Plan all coming together nicely imo. Best ellis

It does amuse me to see so many tick downs on a post where I simply state the current buy/sell limits. Lol

[woodpeckers] 04/2/2019 11:20

Excellent news this morning. Many RNSes in one there.

Neill not surprisingly taking the opportunity to emphasise that though we impatient shareholders may feel that we've been waiting a long time for news, things are actually progressing very quickly.

Great to see a bit more detail on/confirmation of the vast range of products we are involved in over there. Particularly liked the "we have defined work programmes with a number of the partners."

For clarification, the NGSIC is an 'entrusted testing authority" partnered with the International Graphene Product Certificate Centre (IGCC) which "holds the philosophy of “Certificate + Improvement”, which means its work is not limited to evaluate the certified party and issue the certificate, more importantly, the experts of IGCC audit group will introduce advanced management method and tools to the certified body based on its own situation, in order to accelerate the industrialization of the whole graphene industry."



So it's not just a question of having a certificate saying that our product is good, they actually provide help to get our products to market more quickly.

[pshevlin] 04/2/2019 11:14

Not with my broker Fest. I can still sell 1k. (I haven't by the way)

[festario] 04/2/2019 11:05

Max to sell = 0

[mryl] 04/2/2019 10:49

btw for those who haven't heard of these two techs by Nike, Shield and Adapt.



Nothing to do with graphene yet but there are so many aspects of the Running Shoe of the Future that can be enhanced using graphene, from a better, lighter, more durable outsole to a water repellent upper and incorporation of conductive inks and better safer battery for their connected shoes. If there must be one company that is looking into it it has to be Nike.

Adidas also does a lot of great innovation but I think Nike usually does it better, and Adidas also seems to have lost the plot lately, releasing new tech but lacking a proper vision and a long term plan, e.g. boost and 3D printing.

If it's not retail selling ade it must be the remnants of what Miton have. They always sell into news.
Either that or shorters trying to keep the share price down. They will have limited firepower. Not much available to borrow.
I hope everyone has asked their brokers if they lend stock out. I know that ii don't.

International Graphene Product Certificate Center
THE FIRST AND ONLY THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATION BODY IN THE WORLD CONDUCTS CERTIFICATION SERVICES OF GRAPHENE RAW MATERIALS AND RELATING PRODUCTS

Entrusted Testing Authorities

NATIONAL GRAPHENE PRODUCTS QUALITY SUPERVISION AND INSPECTION CENTER
01-18-2018
National Graphene Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (NGSIC) is located in Huishan Economic Development Zone, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. It is a national-level graphene quality inspection center approved by the State Administration of Quality, Technical Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and based on the Jiangsu Provincial Graphene Detection Technology Key Laboratory. NGSIC is the first national technical service platform in China that can provide third-party materials inspection and testing services with administrative permission.

NGSIC covers an area of about 20 acres, with a construction area of 16,000 square millimeters and a total investment of 130 million yuan. NGSIC has introduced 3 doctors in related fields of graphene and more than 20 masters in related research and testing. At the same time, NGSIC has a variety of high-end testing equipment such as spherical aberration correction transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc., worth more than 60 million yuan.

NGSIC has passed the qualification certification (CMA) and laboratory accreditation (CNAS), which can carry out various inspection and testing services such as graphene materials, nano materials, polymer materials and metal materials.

Good stuff. Very encouraging indeed. :)

[adejuk] 04/2/2019 10:24

this doesn't look like retail selling.

[club sandwich] 04/2/2019 10:21

"I know you want quick profits but having been to GEIC and seen what is going on that is not going to be the business model."

silly me, and I thought business was about maximising revenue now AND planning for the future. Seems VRS are all the latter and none of the former.

I'll ask again: exactly *when* do you bulls expect significant money to start flowing?

"Club, come on, do you honestly think the Chinese would be wasting all their time and effort in this if there wasn't the prospect of a serious amount of cash in it?"

cash for whom? because VRS really don't seem very good at turning talk into money.

As for 'quick profits' - well I've been here for well over a year now: Ricketts has had ample time to deliver *something* significant, but unfortunately to date he has delivered *nothing* significant...

£5.22m turnover for a half-year (and only a few hundred K of that for 2D materials)? For a company with a supposed world lead in graphene, the hottest tech around, and fingers in every pie out there?

Pathetic.
