Now we are motoring, everything is coming together and I am certain that events taking place over the next few months will propel the share price northwards.
Congratulations to Neill for this very important verification of the company and products.

Very good news. Hopefully will quickly lead to some of the collabs signing contracts and orders.

RNS Number : 5811UVersarien PLC01 April 2019 1 April 2019Versarien plc("Versarien" or the "Company") Completion of Verified Graphene Producer Programme Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce that the Company is the first graphene company in the world to successfully complete the Graphene Council's "Verified Graphene Producer" programme (the "Programme"). The US-based Graphene Council's Programme is an independent, third party verification system that involves a physical inspection of the production facilities, a review of the entire production process, a random sampling of product material and rigorous characterisation and testing by a leading, international materials laboratory. The Programme is based on the most recent developments in globally recognised graphene standards, surveys of graphene producers, researchers and users, as well as analysis of commercially available graphene products. The Graphene Council have designed the Programme to be an important step in providing customers and end-users with a degree of confidence, that has not existed before, that they are sourcing material from a reputable supplier, bringing transparency and clarity to a rapidly changing and opaque market for graphene materials. Terrance Barkan, Executive Director of The Graphene Council, commented: "Successful commercialisation of graphene materials requires not only the ability to produce graphene to a declared specification, but to be able to do so at a commercial scale. It is nearly impossible for a graphene customer to verify the type of material they are receiving without going through an expensive and time-consuming process of having sample materials fully characterised by a laboratory that has the equipment and expertise to test graphene. "The Verified Graphene Producer programme developed by The Graphene Council provides a level of independent inspection and verification that is not available anywhere else. "We are pleased to have worked with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) in the UK, regarded as one of the absolute top facilities for metrology and graphene characterisation in the world. They have provided outstanding analytical expertise for the materials testing portion of the Programme." Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are delighted that Versarien is the first graphene producer in the world to successfully complete the Graphene Council's Verified Graphene Producer programme."This is a huge validation of our technology and will enable our partners and potential customers to have confidence that the graphene we produce meets globally accepted standards."There are many companies that claim to be graphene producers, but to enjoy the benefits that this material can deliver requires high quality, consistent product to be supplied. The Verified Producer programme is designed to verify that our production facilities, processes and tested material meet the stringent requirements laid down by the Graphene Council."I am proud that Versarien has been independently acclaimed as a Verified Graphene Producer and look forward to making further progress with our collaboration partners and numerous other parties that we are in discussions with."

Campbed- was there any comment made on the new Chinese law protecting foreign IP ?

[richafling] 01/4/2019 01:49

I'll check... hoping soon

[festario] 01/4/2019 00:59

Is it OPEN YET?

I attended the UK Investor Show in London yesterday whose website is



and at which VRS had a stand.

It’s interesting to hear Nigel Wray on small cap investing, Nick Leslau on commercial property, Mark Slater on state of the markets, Jonny Hon on China and Tim Steer on how, with some hindsight, their accounts presaged company failures. So a day well spent.

On the VRS stand were NR, CL and a sales & marketing admin chap from DK’s dept.
NR made a 20 minute presentation with slides in a small room on the company’s 2D products and their likely applications. Unfortunately the viewing screen was quite small and therefore I could not read the slides. However from what NR said the information just gave an introductory overview and he said the intention was to place them on the company’s website. There was a slide on indicative market price ranges for differing types/qualities of graphene/graphite. There was no Q&A in the presentation room though attendees were invited to go to the stand to ask their questions.

NR was also a member of panel on main room stage that was asked questions for 30 minutes about various aspects of small cap investing. I only heard the final few minutes of that but it did not seem to be about VRS in particular.

The VRS stand seemed to get a steady stream of people including some current shareholders like me. From what I heard, the VRS guys did an excellent job of answering as fully as possible all appropriate questions, including my own, and in a nice way pointing out why some questions were inappropriate given the rules – both those from the LSE/Nomad and from agreements with customers. Those guys seem confident about the potential for VRS and I think rightly so. But for that to become reflected in a higher SP, I think they recognise some guidance on the quantification of that potential will be needed following on from some contract announcements.

I’m in the fortunate position of being well in the money at a current share price of 100p (giving a market cap of around £170m incl in the money options). I’m willing to let my (unrealised) profits run. Inevitably the psychology is different for holders out of the money with an average cost above, say, 150p. But I do feel such holders should be rewarded by being patient and giving further time to let the fruit ripen on the VRS tree. That tree and how it is being managed are very unusual in my view. However I’m not willing to buy more shares until some of the things mentioned above occur.

Obviously they are linked but I'd put margin ahead of price in any case. And you ain't going to give out that metric.

[rogerbridge] 31/3/2019 22:22

Agree Sandbag.

[1teepee] 31/3/2019 21:48

Most people on this thread are sheep.they get upset when I said this , as truth hurts.

[1teepee] 31/3/2019 21:47

On the uncensored thread

There is absolutely no way any company would disclose the prices that they are selling their product at unless they were selling chocolate bars, tyres etc., to the general public. For a company selling a commodity to manufacturers it would be commercial suicide to disclose the price as other manufacturers would demand a lower price. VRS has a monopolistic position at the moment so will ask the highest price possible for each sale. The more secrecy the higher the price that could be demanded.
