In regards to the Gerdau Graphene, Nouveau Monde Graphite and Black Swan Graphene business relationship.
Question: Is it entirely possible that Gerdau is likely planing on mass producing the graphene comprised polymer dispersion additive solution here in North America and exporting such graphene comprised finished product, in bulk, into the Brazilian market, amongst other jurisdictions?
The following is a excerpted portion from the relevant news release.
NMG and Black Swan, a subsidiary of Mason Graphite, intend to enter into a non-binding letter of intent for the implementation of Black Swan’s graphene processing technology in NMG’s Demonstration Plant, which has a design throughput of 3.5 tonnes of ore per hour (tph), the equivalent nameplate production capacity of approximately 1,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate per annum, using NMG’s ore grading an average of 4.5% graphitic carbon, in order to establish a fully integrated facility from graphite ore to graphene finished products. Under the letter of intent, the parties will endeavour to negotiate and enter into a sub-lease and services agreement pursuant to which (i) NMG will sub-lease space located at its Demonstration Plant to Black Swan for the manufacture of exfoliated defect-free, non-oxidised 2-D materials, including Graphene Nano Platelets, and laboratory testing activities thereon, and (ii) NMG will provide certain services to Black Swan on an “as needed” basis.
