Primary Symbol: V.FMS Alternate Symbol(s):  FCSMF

Focus Graphite Inc. is a Canada-based advanced exploration company, which is focused on developing high grade flake graphite deposits to supply battery grade graphite. The Company's projects include Lac Knife and Lac Tetepisca. Its flagship Lac Knife Project is a 100% owned, high-grade crystalline flake graphite deposit located in northeastern Quebec, about 27 kilometers (kms) south of Fermont. The Lac Knife project is comprised of the Lac Knife property plus an isolated block of 12 CDC claims located 11 kms to the north of the Lac Knife property on NTS sheet 23B-11 (Montagne-aux-Bouleaux property). Its 100%-owned Lac Tetepisca Graphite Project is located in the Southwest Manicouagan reservoir area of the Cote-Nord region of Quebec, one of North America's leading emerging flake graphite districts. It comprises two contiguous properties, Lac Tetepisca and Lac Tetepisca Nord. Together, the two properties form a block of approximately 126 map-designated claims (total area: 6,785.14 ha).

NPV Projections 8% / SP $4-9.

NPV Projections 8% / SP $4-9.

PEA soon but I have again been looking at different scenarios including the upgrading potential.

40,000tpa production of 95%, 15,000tpa of this into upgraded production at 99.99%.

$1,500/t revenue for 95%, $300/t cost of production (i think it will be a little lower in PEA, re previous posts).

$10,000/t revenue for 99.99%, $5,000/t cost of production (on outsourced basis).

25 year NPV8 with investment of $140m in 2012/2013 and operations commencing 2014.

Ignores own plant (improved financials or no point), anode production, Kwyjibo value, Grafoid investment.

NPV $839m, SP $4.31 based on 195m shares out, capex 50% equity funded at $1

Now this is flat rate financials, no increase in market share or operations. The NPV gets very tasty if you introduce a 5% per annum uplift in total free cashflow:

25 308,688,137 45,073,995
     

 

These are my estimates and support my investment here. I make no guarantees, this is the junior market and a lot can go wrong. But this is definately worth the allocation of capital imo on a risk/reward basis.

 

Finally my ideas on own production through the Varennes plant. This is a little tenuous as there are no costings either capex or opex and no past information as a guide. My assumptions were the same production levels, but a reduced cost of 99.99% to $2,000/t. Capex in year 2 is an additional $140m for the plant, but financed fully through debt. 5% increase to operational cashflow assigned per annum. The thing is, whether it is $2,000/t, $4,000/t costs this venture is still highly profitable. The advantage comes from the grade, the benefit flows right through the value chain.
