"01 Jul 2020

the ?5 million Loan to Versarien, specifically for a project named G SCALE, (an acronym for Graphene-Seat, Concrete, Arch, Leisure, Elastomer) which is designed to enable Versarien to significantly increase its manufacture of quality assured graphene."

Um, they have a 3T machine already?

We were told that machine was working 'flat out'.
We were told they don't give away free samples.

At least one of those statements is a lie.

if the machine is working flat out, producing 3T of product a year (and they've had it for more than a year now), what is happening to the graphne/2D materials it's producing? They *must* be giving it away, since graphene revenues are vanishingly small, almost zero. Or they're charging so little for it they may as well give it away.

Or the machine is not working flat out, and that statement was a lie.

Make up your own minds.

Adejuk,; the 'winky smile' in my 'imminent' post is key....

MAv,

"There are some that have jumped ship previously that are sat awaiting, watching, playing elsewhere and in some cases appear to be losing heavily."

Do you have some examples, and the companies they went on to invest in please?

[richgrumpa] 27/7/2020 17:44

Ridicule, you misunderstand me to an extent. My assertion that Anley has an agenda is not primarily based on his reliance on historical balance sheets. You don't have to delve too deeply into his posting history to conclude that he has a very negative take on the company and its prospects. I do, however, maintain that as part of a dynamic and groundbreaking industry, it is more useful to look at the 'here and now' to fully appreciate the vast potential of this company. Dyor of course, though.

[ridicule] 27/7/2020 17:26

RichGrumpa Your post 106428, I have been invested here since 2015. The coming accounts in August were the future this time last year. Anley is spot on when he talks of the balance sheet and the results generally, because they are the clearest indication that you can get from outside the Company as to how the future forecast last year has actually turned out. Those who suggest Anley has some sort of agenda by making this fundamental observation are taking a bizarre position.

Just watched a video by James Baker - The Manchester Model of Innovation. Good overview of the industry and GEIC

"There was an argument that said COVID could have delayed the tipping point and we could have lost 4 or 5 months. Companies could have gone broke, no appetite to invest in new materials. Whilst I still think we have challenges, I see real opportunity NOW to invest in graphene and 2d materials. Some of those returns can be near term. We are already 10 years ahead of carbon fibre, arguably"

Imminent, imminenter, imminterest.

[adejuk] 27/7/2020 17:08

look at the chart
capitulation is 'imminent' without news
and if nothing is deliverd before the agm
we will see launch sp

imminence?
give me an AIM break

I have checked the accounts of DV Composites Ltd filed at Companies House under the Micro Companies section showing that the company had net assets of exactly £103.

Press Release 10 November 2014

Versarien plc

("Versarien" or the "Group")

Joint Venture with Dimar Ltd to form DV Composites Ltd

Versarien Plc (AIM:VRS), the advanced engineering materials group, is pleased to announce that it has agreed terms to form a 50:50 joint venture with Dimar Limited ("Dimar"), a leading global tungsten carbide tool manufacturer based in Israel, to distribute a new range of tooling for the composites industry.

The new venture, DV Composites Limited, will leverage Versarien's existing sales channels into the automotive, aerospace and marine sectors. Dimar currently sells a range of high performance tooling to a number of global organisations in these sectors. DV Composites will be based and operate out of Versarien's headquarters in Mitcheldean and will distribute these new products, alongside its development products for the composite industry, enabling further traction.

The new DV Composite's product range will be launched at the Advanced Engineering UK 2014 Show, which is being held at the NEC in Birmingham on the 11 and 12 November 2014.

Neill Ricketts, Chief Executive Officer of Versarien, commented: "This joint venture has provided the Group with a fantastic opportunity to combine several of our key technologies with those of Dimar, for the fast growing composites industry.

"Given the breadth of Versarien, we will be able to draw upon our significant expertise in graphene, tungsten carbide incorporating VersarienCu from an InnovateUK grant and this coupled with Dimar's extensive customer base and experience in the market, creates a robust platform for the launch of DV Composites. It also provides the Group with an excellent entry point into the Israeli composite industry through our close collaboration with Dimar."

Kemche; I think news is imminent ;)

To those saying that the government would have done their due diligence and shows that it knows what it is doing, does anyone recall what happened to this and whether we transformed the electric vehicle market?

Versarien wins Technology Strategy Board grant for

disruptive technology in the automotive industry

Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced engineering materials group, is delighted to announce that it is to lead a GBP560,000 project consortium that have won a grant of GBP317,000 from the Technology Strategy Board, the UK's innovation agency, to develop innovative technology with the potential to transform the automotive industry. The grant will fund the development of a technology capable of providing thermal management specifically for use in the power electronic modules of electric vehicles ("EVs") and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles ("PHEVs").

The market for EVs and PHEVs is primed for growth, driven primarily by EU legislation aimed at reducing CO(2) emissions, with fines set to be imposed upon car manufacturers which don't meet certain criteria. As a result, it is expected that a range of new, desirable EVs will enter the market over the next 18 months. The grant awarded to Versarien is part of a GBP16 million Technology Strategy Board programme to support early stage "proof of concept" development of transformational technology within the automotive industry.

Versarien will be collaborating with Applied Materials Technology Limited, a leading specialist in plating advanced materials for industry and Dynex Semiconductor Limited, a supplier of high power semiconductor devices and power assemblies. Together they will integrate a number of components in new power electronic modules aimed at providing a step change over current industry performance, which is compromised by high temperatures.

Excessive temperatures increase power losses and reduce component lifetimes of power modules, therefore a particular focus will be design for thermal management. Versarien intends to use its patented porous metals with innovative finishing and bonding techniques to allow high power density ratings to be delivered with the low thermal budgets available in automotive hybrid/EV systems. In developing the technology, the Company will be guided by leading technology players in the field to ensure that the specification of the proposed device is in line with the requirements of the wider industry and remains so throughout the duration of the project.

Neill Ricketts, Chief Executive Officer of Versarien plc, said: "We are delighted to have won this grant from the Technology Strategy Board. The fact that the Government has committed GBP16 million to innovation within the automotive sector will help to drive British business and allow companies like Versarien to transform scientific breakthroughs into commercially viable products.

"I am confident that the completion of this project will provide an important step towards the UK being a global leader in the development and production of high technology components for the electric vehicle market, a market which is set to grow exponentially over the next 35 years."

The project is expected to take two years and will commence in Q4 2013."

I have deliberately sat in the background and watched for a wee while and not posted and that was to let others come and dominate the board and show true colours. That has been donePent good luck with your shares and it was short and sweet but thanks for your time and effort. I think timing is everything and given previous statements questioning your integrity as a "new" yet seemingly very well informed investor I guessed you had a precious name and kept that hidden.TW surfaces at the weekend and timing again is everything, I'll park that there.So why did he hold on to that non piece of information? Was it as he thought it contained more info than the Russia report? Or was it a case of he was chasing other stuff and couldn't monetise it at that time. I think the latter. So a self proclaimed Sherrif who deliberately withholds information until he is ready to monetise it doesn't sound like a good cop to me. Maybe he's been hanging out with Levi for too long I don't know.The reason he held on to that non information was now he knows that someone is coming and it's time to target this week before the beginning of next month. Why then? Well I'm guessing as BVT comes wholly owned we now have the opportunity to do as we want with it. If you noted the statement it said originally we will take over 100% ownership for the time being or words to that effect. Those that are long term investors who have researched the company are adding (I am) and will be on pay day tooThere are some that have jumped ship previously that are sat awaiting, watching, playing elsewhere and in some cases appear to be losing heavily. Some will have made money too. One thing for sure is they are lurking and will imho be ready to return.The football season is almost at its end 1Aug approaching rapidly and lots of focus on the recovery. It's going to be a new world and we are imho primed to move with those opportunities.Many companies are rethinking the how it was to be how it should be. Supertankers are seeing this as their opportunity to effect change or be left behind. Us speedboats are ready and poised to ensure they can make that happenPlastic bottles will not be as they were and not because they didn't do a job but because of the green driver. That is to me the most significant driver atm with bottles, packaging and environmentally streamlined processes and manufacturing.I want TW to double and treble down as I want to smile lots and scareprophets will be even more laughableI know nooothing

VRS brings a whole new meaning to the word imminent

[kemche] 27/7/2020 16:48

"VRS has the capability to spike dramatically from the the current price on good news" which I have been led to believe is either imminent or very,very,very soon. But then we have also been informed that "no news is good news". So a win/win either way. And you can't say fairer than that.

[chelsea101] 27/7/2020 16:44

I’m sure I’m stating the obvious but we are seeing almost on a daily basis people moaning about the falling share price after admitting they are selling. I’m not sure what they expect as posting negatively and selling shares normally leads to a falling share price - especially during a quiet news period! As I pointed out last week, Synairgen drifted more than 50% over a 3 month period and when news came last Monday they were 37p. Today they are 223p. Symphony Environmental has almost doubled over the last week on a decent rns. VRS has the capability to spike dramatically from the the current price on good news and those that keep saying there is plenty of time to get in on a good rns might well have to pay double the price we sit at today.

[kemche] 27/7/2020 16:42

The LTHers on the professional board are loving this as they can buy shedloads at these giveaway prices knowing that a MOU/collaboration/agreement/termsheet can land at any time.

[kemche] 27/7/2020 16:39

Penta - how have you been bullied? Did someone hit you?

I think I was bullied by you! And where is my bloody jam????

[pentacosttempleton] 27/7/2020 16:36

Kemche, Roger you are both pathetic bullies. Both as bad as each other.

[rogerthegrouch] 27/7/2020 16:32
