Versarien Share Discussion Threads

So the share price is now lower than prior to the major chinese announcement, it appears that those in the know did not consider it that major, or are getting tired of LOI/MOU etc. As pointed out, the CEO got close to peak pricing for his shares. Nice bit of business, to time a share sale to an announcement that you are one of the select few that know of it in advance, that you suspect will give the share price a boast.

This company has apparently a shed-load of irons in the fire, however the share price desperately needs one of those to actually turn into a significant confirmed order (and no, a sampler order for a few Kgs won't cut it), as thus far what we have is a company that is the darling of graphene newsflow and awards, but with an unconfirmed business model

NR is probably very restricted in what he can actually say, good or bad, but it would be nice for all involved at VRS to get that first order over the line :)

Wonder what the announcements are that they don't feel are appropriate at the moment....

A variety of reasons outside of either our control or that of the customer or even their customer.We could have made some announcements but feel these aren't appropriate at the moment.Nothing wrong, testing good, just timings can sometimes slip with big globals and big projectsNeill Ricketts added,

Not yet ;-) ...... ;-)
no panic Fest.

Max to sell is currently zero by the way. It's not like the last 2 weeks when any dip was immediately bought into.I assume from that, that our recent accumulator has gathered all he wants.

[festario] 24/4/2019 09:54

As it turns out, the CEO got a very decent price for the shares he sold, just saying!

[adejuk] 24/4/2019 09:44

i have to keep reminding myself that everything happens very slowly and then all at once.

[clint fleecewood] 24/4/2019 09:39

Hard not to feel disappointed that '1st quarter' is about to be 'after first third'. Just one, decent order from someone actually using this stuff would do me. It would put my mind at rest. Hey ho! This is the AIM.

Looks like plenty of joined up thinking going on. 'Rapidly scale' - with the proposed strategic investment money being used for that purpose. great positioning neill. Per poddy, neill hopes to get an agreement with bigt before the agm - a signal of great confidence. Dyor. Best ellis

Bigt rns :

"...Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are very pleased to have reached the term sheet stage in our discussions with Beijing Institute of Graphene Technology.  This developing relationship potentially offers a huge opportunity for the Company and we look forward to progressing matters.

"During the last six months we have announced a number of MOUs with global manufacturers based in China, together with securing relationships with Chinese provincial government bodies.  The plans with BIGT are complementary to these.

 "We look forward to continuing detailed discussions with BIGT and making further announcements in due course as we look to rapidly scale the Versarien graphene business.  We remain well funded and any capital would only be accepted to appropriately accelerate our growth plans."

Some more about biam who set up bigt with chinese gov. Who in turn helped to establish beijing graphene industry innovation center. Vrs have a great opportunity where the action is. Dyor. Best ellis

"AVIC BIAM has long attached importance to international exchanges and cooperation. Over the past five decades, BIAM has established cooperation relationship with over 100 scientific research institutes, universities and enterprises in more than 50 countries over the world, including America, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, Korea, India, etc.

Since 2010, annually, over 30 overseas experts and scholars are invited to BIAM for short-term lectures or academic exchanges. The annual total overseas visitors to BIAM amount to over 600. Moreover, BIAM annually sends nearly 200 people to over 20 countries and regions for cooperative research and academic exchanges purposes and for attending international conferences.

At present, BIAM is conducting cooperative research with over 10 international renowned scientific institutes, universities and companies, including VIAM, E.O. Paton Welding institute, Airbus, Boeing, Oxford University, Imperial College of London, TWI, etc. The projects which have been carried out cover a wide range of research areas: titanium alloy, superalloy, rubber materials, composites, transparent materials, powder metallurgy alloy, welding, surface treatment, material testing, etc. Apart from the existing cooperation, BIAM is also active in exploring new modes of international cooperation. It has set up United Technology Center with Imperial College of London, University of Manchester, under which over 10 international S &T cooperative projects are carried out annually.

BIAM has become the suppliers for many international renowned companies, such as Kirkhill TA, SNECMA, SELL, Airbus, etc. It has the capacity for supplying products like titanium precision castings, rubber fasteners, golf club heads, carbon fiber shafts, orthotics, artificial joint stock, etc. Baimtec Material Co., Ltd., one of the subsidiaries of BIAM, has been the formal supplier of SNECMA (France) for years.

The NDT lab and the MTL lab not only obtained NADCAP accredited by PRI, but also have certification by many international companies, such as GE, P&G, Bombardier, Airbus, and SNECMA; both labs have set up cooperation labs with P&G and LECO.

Based on its development in the past years, BIAM is now breaking new grounds in its international cooperation career; its cooperation is featuring widened areas and diversified cooperation pattern, and is integrating technology research with industry and trade. In the globalization era, BIAM will continue to strengthen its cooperation with existing international partners and it also is opening its arms, with good will, to new friends and partners from all over the world."

This man looks a giant, and could be a company maker by himself. A great pioneering spirit that will get the job done. Happy holder here :) aimo. Glalth. Best ellis.

"After almost thirty years of being a "go to" guy for a base of 416 major clients and a peripheral of over 1100 specific to "just" the specialty material business... you gain trust, open doors, create credibility and pave a smooth path for introduction. Add value, people follow!"

Gap maybe closed but still being traded to death. Can we please see some money being made here? Re that, when are the next set of trading figures due out? Hopefully that might show that we are actually selling something and not just entertaining the scientific and trading communities.If nothing turns up in the next 6 months I'm not sure it is going to be worthwhile hanging on here all in. I have moved a bit of cash into SDI and that is doing well at the moment.

[boilingfrog] 24/4/2019 08:44

Seems like we're all just waiting for news to drop.

[diversification] 24/4/2019 08:09

Not sure what Tim kemster just said but it probably something rude.

Many experience the triboelectric effect as a novelty or a nuisance. But it is an area in which I can imagine graphene and other new materials could enhance and stabilise the effect for these batteryless pacemakers:




"A person simply walking across a carpet, removing a nylon shirt or rubbing against a car seat can also create a potential difference of many thousands of volts"


It presumably also occurs between tyre and road - where the tyres continually 'peel away' from the road surface. Can it be harnessed with the right tyre recipe?

This is a perfect example I want to give to those who play others passing fear and lies to drive s share down You take that extra pint before taking your seat at the table. Me I'm already sat in my seat waiting for the kick off https://twitter.com/skysportspl/status/1120762846818729984?s=21
