RE: Grafoid - Tier 1 Play Skippy, great summary. Here's Gary's salient, supporting comment from the IM story:
"The relationship our two companies hold is unique in the world," Economo said.
“It’s not simply a unique process, but a unique business model – vertically integrated from mine-to-market - high-grade graphite from Lac Knife, put through a proprietary process to produce highly functional graphene for sales and application development,” he added.
Economo bemoaned the lack of interest from the investment community in graphene saying that "while the science community is all-consumed with developing graphene applications, the investment community has been shy to fund graphene startups".
This, he said, was because markets so far have been unable to monetise graphene's value.
"We know the market exists for our services as evidenced by the interest in our graphene and the number of development partnerships we've undertaken in the last 12 months," he added.
