Versarien Share Discussion Threads

17 May 2023Versarien plc("Versarien" or the "Company")Successful Cementene(TM) precast concrete trialsVersarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to provide an update on the trials of Versarien's water-based graphene admixture, Cementene(TM) in precast concrete mixes that have been carried out by Banagher Precast Concrete Limited ("Banagher"), a precast concrete manufacturer and supplier of precast concrete products to the civil engineering and construction industries throughout the UK and Ireland.The Company is pleased to report that preliminary results from the work undertaken by Banagher have demonstrated that 20% of ordinary Portland cement ("OPC") can be removed from Banagher's typical precast concrete mix when Cementene(TM) is added, whilst maintaining the compression strength of the concrete. These initial results demonstrate the significant potential to reduce CO(2) emissions without impacting the performance of the concrete.The production of 1 kg of Cementene(TM) is estimated to generate approximately 1.44 kg of CO(2) emissions and approximately 5 kg of Cementene(TM) is used per cubic metre of concrete. The production of 1 kg of OPC emits approximately 0.8 kg of CO(2) and c.500 kg of OPC is used per cubic metre of Banagher's precast concrete. Therefore, the removal of 20% of OPC in the precast concrete mix (approximately 100 kg) equates to a net saving of approximately 72.8 kg of CO(2) emissions per cubic metre of concrete poured.Based on Banagher's average 60,000 cubic metre output of concrete per year, the savings achieved in these trials mean that the incorporation of Cementene(TM) could offer almost 4.4 million kg of CO(2) savings per year at a cost the Company believes is competitive for this level of emissions reduction.Stephen Hodge, Chief Technology Officer of Versarien, said: "We are delighted with the results that have been achieved by Banagher utilising Versarien's Cementene(TM) . The use of Cementene(TM) has been demonstrated to offer a substantial environmental benefit at a cost we believe is competitive. We look forward to continuing to work with Banagher and, in due course, other concrete suppliers to role out Cementene(TM) enhanced concrete as soon as possible."Peter Deegan, Banagher Precast Concrete's Technical Director, said: "We have been trialling many alternative additions to our concrete mixes in the drive to net zero 2050, graphene in a liquid state is one such product. Our new UKAS/INAB accredited laboratory has allowed us to quantify any improvements in performance based on compression testing, chloride migration, water absorption and much more. While still at an early stage, we are finding very positive results and aim to continue with the research right through to scaling up at our production plant. We are confident that graphene will play a major role in carbon reduction in the future."

From a shrewdy on LSE making the investor case.

Blue day today

Think we will see people go for this one it’s just too cheap. They have cash coming in from recent sale and they have more assets due to be sold as well. The placing cash is to be used for positive things and to add value. Good signs

pct, No need I'm sure, rogerered on this one proper, guess might need a whimps stretcher!

[festario] 24/7/2024 22:31

Because.. it's RUBBISH!!

[supernumerary] 24/7/2024 21:37

lol. I suspect that's a fate that awaits all holders :¬(

[davemac3] 24/7/2024 21:00

Anybody else got shares here that are worth less than what it would cost to sell them?

[zydecoco] 24/7/2024 20:47

PW you said you'd "Admit Defeat", so just do that and desist.You plagued the VRS boards here, with your now proven, nonsense for months.You really need to understand and realise that you are wholly beaten and you have no credibility here, or indeed elsewhere on ADVFN. Your failure will follow you.Your judgement is clearly not worth anything. You have been weighed, measured and found wanting. Accept it and disappear.

Pwhite
Poetry in motion
You are basically a clueless moron
Like I’ve said many times before
You are a serious danger to private investors …
This latest disaster from you only adds to many many more over the years
Word of advice
Stock picking and personal investing is NOT for you in any shape or form.
Good bye Patrick
Let’s hope the judicial system spares you !

[pwhite73] 24/7/2024 17:07

Quite a few large buys after hours (106M) and during the day. I wonder if they've arranged to place a decent amount of the placing stock with one buyer so they can claim someone has taken a notifying interest over 3%?

[festario] 24/7/2024 15:34

In fact, if Ricketts lied blatantly to shareholders, at any point in the ramping years, then Chris Leigh is culpable as a director, both then and now.He should be in front of a judge too.

[festario] 24/7/2024 15:33

Is that 3 tonne machine still working at full tilt, churning out Nanene around the clock? That was some equipment that was purchased by the proceeds of a placing, or was it? Did it ever even exist? That would have been interesting in court.

[purchaseatthetop] 24/7/2024 15:16

I am very worried that tomorrow when I am on my ambulance I will be called to treat Pwhite in a mentally secure process. That always needs a double crew.

Have you consulted a shrink to check whether you are on the spectrum Font?

"Because I've admitted calling VRS wrong it doesn't automatically make you or anybody else smarter than me."

And yet EVERYONE is. Demonstrably, unequivocally, evidentially, assuredly, absolutely and LITERALLY.

[snaffleclamp] 24/7/2024 15:06

Same CEO different company innit

[pwhite73] 24/7/2024 15:02

kemche - I'll make an exception just this once.

VRS have clearly exploited their patents by signing licencing deals with Montana Química LTDA and MCK Tech which are external parties.

Graft Polymer had signed an IP licensing deal with a company called Awakn for which Graft CEO is also the CEO of Awakn.

RNS 18/07/2024 - "The Company's CEO, Mr. Anthony Tennyson, also serves as CEO of Awakn."

Graft had effectively signed a licensing deal with itself. So as per my post the patent was worthless.

Because I've admitted calling VRS wrong it doesn't automatically make you or anybody else smarter than me.

[snaffleclamp] 24/7/2024 14:49

Does anyone know when they first started reporting that Cementene was in the process for gaining the BS certification? The length of time it was taking was often questioned, and commented on as ongoing.
Something doesn’t seem add up here 🤔
Unless this is a different accreditation?

"Fireball XL5 - Thank you for your sterling research. With the main stumbling block to commercialisation on garden leave VRS for the first time in its 13 year history is now on a trajectory to exploit its technical knowledge and IP patents."

Discussing the valuable patents and thanking Furball for "sterling research" no less!

And yet:

"It is not positive news and certainly not a commercial update. Patents are worthless until an external party pays licensing or royalty fees for them. At the moment this company has a commercial partnership only with itself."


WTF????

[kemche] 24/7/2024 14:15

God only knows how we will beat net zero 2030 deadline now!

[kemche] 24/7/2024 14:06

Once again the BODs have dug deep to partake in the fundraising so as not to miss out on the eventual whoosh! The Turnaround Specialists have completely turned this around now. The banks (plural) are rejoicing.

I wonder if the old crew are still averaging down in the background? I cannot see the Rogers missing this opportunity - nor Mensa. Aah, fun days.

[bbmsionlypostafter mk2] 24/7/2024 14:02

PW,

A little guidance from you if you please. Is the turnaround strategy still ongoing or are we done with that?

[supernumerary] 24/7/2024 13:56

'Both' seems to be the correct answer.

[bbmsionlypostafter mk2] 24/7/2024 13:46

Ya think?

Duh.
