RE:RE:RE:Northvolt Is coming in Quebec with a mega battery factory The option to purchase Lac Gueret was always a lure by Mason Graphite representatives and stakeholders. It was a lure which was intended to entice Nouveau Monde Graphite stakeholders (Arne Fransen and Pallinghurst et al.) to incorporate Black Swan Graphene as a integral part of what is planned as also being a integrating downstream value-add graphene comprised products manufacturing enterprise to the phase one and phase two development of the NOU enterprise.
At this point and given the precise way in which NOU has dragged it rear end in actually aggressively developing the phase two portion of this three phase enterprise and all that this entails and also given the fact that NOU has publicly suggested it is quite content to let Lac gueret sit necessarily not aggressively developed before all the phase one work is entirely completed . . .
Suffice to say Mason Graphite stakeholders should be quite unhappy with the arrangement, as presently directed by Nouveau Monde graphite stakeholders and representatives.
It's long overdue for Mason Graphite stakeholders and representatives to enact the "shotgun clause" to the agreement, i.e. had Mason Graphite stakeholders and representatives actually been intelligent enought to have had a shotgun clause included and clearly stipulated within the agreement consummated with Nouveau monde Graphite.
In actual fact, I believe Mason Graphite is one very big name away from not only paying back NOU the monies already received and necessarily threatening to walking away from the existing agreement amongst the two companies.
I believe Mason Graphite could have made available to it's Black Swan Graphene enterprise a most expedited graphene manufacturing and supply partnership path into the North American based market for that graphene enhanced concrete admixture product.
Allowing Thomas Swan & Co,. Ltd to join another company in a joint commercialization agreement enabling the production and sale, within North America specifically, of that graphene enhanced concrete admixture product is quite the carrot being dangled for sure.
Perhaps such a commericalization agreement would enable Black Swan Graphene to produce and sell other graphene enhanced value-add products within North America as well.
Some newly investing party, which could be "patiently angling" and looking to hook control of Mason Graphite's equity, can do so in a instant; thereby scooping up nearer to controling equity exposure to Black Swan Graphene.
It's all up to Thomas Swan & Co., Ltd. The ball is in their court now.
