Northern Graphite Corp V.NGC

Alternate Symbol(s):  NGPHF

Northern Graphite Corporation is a Canada-based flake graphite producing company. The Company is focused on producing natural graphite and upgrading it into high-value products critical to the green economy, including anode material for lithium-ion batteries/electric vehicles (EVs), fuel cells and graphene, as well as advanced industrial technologies. Its mining operations include Lac des Iles, Okanjande and Bissett Creek. Its products include Flake Graphite Products and Porocarb Products. The Lac des Iles (LDI) mine is the only flake graphite producer in North America. The LDI mine is located approximately two kilometers south of Lac-des-Iles, Quebec, 110 kilometers (km) northeast of Ottawa and 180 km northwest of Montreal. The Okanjande mining is located in Namibia, one of Africa's finest mining jurisdictions. It holds a 100% interest in the Bissett Creek Project, which is located around 15 km from the Trans-Canada Highway between the towns of Deep River and Mattawa, Ontario.

Meet the billion euro projects: Human Brain and Graphene

After a two-year, high-profile contest, the European Commission has selected two research proposals to fund: one will model the whole brain using a supercomputer and the other will push graphene into the marketplace.

After a two-year, high-profile contest, the European Commission has selected two research proposals to fund: one will model the whole brain using a supercomputer and the other will push graphene into the marketplace.

They’ll receive half a billion euros each. Nature News reports.

Launched in 2009, the Future and Emerging Technologies Flagship competition was a challenge to apply information and communication technologies to social problems.

The Human Brain Project plans to simulate everything known about the human brain — its cells, chemistry, and connectivity — in a supercomputer. The project, led by Henry Markram at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, claims it will aid medical advancement in brain disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Graphene project will develop graphene — an ultrathin, flexible form of carbon that can conduct light and electricity — for applications in computing, batteries, and sensors.

“We would start with applications in communication technology, like a fancy radio that operates at frequencies that cannot be used today,” project leader Jari Kinaret at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden told ScienceInsider. Other goals, such as artificial retinas and other bio-implants would be pursued at a later time.

The projects will now enter the ‘ramp-up’ phase, receiving €54 million each for the first 2.5 years. They expect to receive €1 billion over a decade.

This is the biggest funding contest the European Commission has ever hosted. The commission will make a formal announcement in Brussels on Monday.
