RE:SpeculationRidethewinners,
You stated, " . . . The analysts asked the same question twice and I was still confused on the cost reductions and the dry process versus the old wet system. I have asked for clarification. It seemed like Dr SN was frustrated, a 50% drop in cost is huge, yet the market does not believe."
I haven't yet listened to the Q1/2024 conference call recording. I tried to do so last evening and there seemed to be no audio link there under events and presentations, at the NanoXplore website. There were Q2&Q3\2023 CC recordings and yet, no recording of the Q1/2024 conference call. I'll try again later.
That being said, in regards to a newer dry graphene manufacturing process versus the "wet process" system and the costs associated with mass industrial scale process manufacturing of specifically "different quality" of graphene when utilizing the existing process vs. the new "dry process" for the manufacturing of "a certain specified grade of Graphene BlackTM powder, I will suggest that the equities analyst who asked the same question twice may have been confused to begin with; i.e. it certainly wouldn't have helped any that the comments issued by the CFO and Mr. Nazarpour in said respect, would have never sufficed in adequately elaborating upon new information being offered.
Alas, they certainly were quite intentionally ambiguous. Ambiguity when addressing such important and potentially immensely pivotal primary graphene manufacturig business aspects is a well practiced and fine art for Mr. Nazarpour & Co.
We can liken Mr. Nazarpour to a seven dan black belt when he practices such ambiguity, especially when it comes to telling and explaining anything of the sort to NanoXplore "minority" shareholders in particular.
Yes. "a 50% drop in cost is huge ridethewinners.
However, the way in which Mr. NanoXplore & Co quite intentionally elected to go about informing NanoXplore shareholders and "the street" of such a huge costs reduction enabling Graphene BlackTM" dry process manufacturing method having been secured by NanoXplore . . .
Suffice to say it's little wonder that "the market does not believe".
If it seemed to you that "Dr SN was frustrated", I would seem to me that Dr. Soroush Nazarpour could have merely been feigning frustration for your benefit ridethewinners.
You stated "Drilling fluids are coming, more SMC type deals, Volta on the cusp, but the audience has left the building."
Yes. You and I know that such potential and "some day" announced deals for graphene enhanced drilling fluids, the various potential IP Corporation owned Molding Products LLC SMC type deals, the long awaited VoltaXplore financing package and many other potential coming catalysts for both NanoXplore's integrating and expanding business enterprise and it's investment in VoltaXplore are for us attractive indeed.
In a nutshell, I'll suggest just a part of the problem here with NanoXplore, i.e. the problem being that "the street" is telling NanoXplore it's not all that interested, can be attributed to a handfull of factors; one of which being that "the street" and it's operators tend to just about entirely forget your company enterrprise when the operators of "the street" are not allowed, since February 15, 2022 @ CAD$4.60, to "wet their beaks" first.
Another one of the attributing factors would be that "the street" operators have been content to fiscally rape and pillaged NanoXplore minority shareholders since after having gradually primed and pumped the NanoXplore share price up to a intraday high of $9.03.
Dr. Soroush Nazarpour & Co have to either actually work very hard at gaining any sustainable level of attention from both "the street" and everyone else whom the street's operators could - after being motivated enough that is - entice into supporting this overall NanoXplore five year strategic business development investment plan or Dr. Soroush Nazarpour & Co have to simply begin to name the very names of the VoltaXplore Heavy Commercial Vehicles 1GWh manufacturing capacity oftake purchasing OEM manufacturer to begin with.
I am going to tell you that nothing short of a one-two- three consecutive combination, i.e. a flurry of unambiguously stellar consecutive NanoXplore news releases, is likely to place NanoXplore back in the limelight; thus having the NanoXplore share price taken much higher by and on behalf of "the street" operators and the would be both institutional and retail class shareholders, who would then be rushing back to supporting NanoXplore in droves.
My expectation would be at the very least to CAD$4.60; this merely just to begin with.
Then again, if Dr. Soroush Nazarpour wants to drive everyone and their cousins away from NanoXplore, so as to allow the largest 50% of NanoXplore shareholders to ever so slowly have others accumulate on their behalf the GRA.TO shares being tossed down by capitulating NanoXplore shareholders (both retail and perhaps still to come institutional high net worth clients), all Dr. Soroush Nazarpour & Co have to do is to keep doing what they have been doing.
I will tell you that if need be, it's not likely that it would be Martinrea International Inc which would be providing the kind, quality and quantum of comprehensive "shelter" for Dr. Soroush Nazarpour & Co which you allude to ridethewinners.
Clearly, NanoXplore assets, trade secrets and other technological IP and such fits in a globally well recognized chemicals company, e.g. Dow Inc ("Dow"), Cabot Corporation, Swiss based Sika, EMS CHEMIE Holding AG, BASF, Misubishi Chemical, Hanwha Solutions, TOYOTSU CHEMIPLAS, Johnson Matthey, etc.
Better yet, Just have Elon Musk call up Dr. Soroush Nazarpour and make Dr. Soroush Nazarpour a offer to join a newly created Tesla advanced materials division (Graphene BlackTM fits well) division as the CEO.
