RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:What's going on here?Directvoice,
Apparently your suggested graphene manufacturing and graphene enhanced products manufacturing business vertical integration outcome had in fact initially been suggested as being part of the plan for Black Swan Graphene and Nouveau Monde Graphite.
An integrated joint venture graphene manufacturing and various graphene enhanced products manufacturing and commercialization partnership amongst SWAN and NOU was to see Black Swan Graphene full scale manufacture graphene within NOU's phase one pilot plant scale manufacturing facility.
I could be wrong here. Never the less, I expect nothing came of that merely proposed endeavor; and now that NOU outright owns the Lac Gueret graphite project and has shelved it for the future, Nouveau Monde Graphite representatives don't seem to have any intention to provide Black Swan Graphene a leg up, so to speak.
We note that when 100% of the Lac Gueret graphite project was sold by Mason Resources representatives to Nouveau Monde Graphite, Mason Resources principals essentially sold Black Swan Graphene and it's intention to jointly partner with NOU down the river, so to speak.
I don't expect Thomas Swan & Co., principals to be contented with the way everything played out with that deal for 100% of Lac Gueret.
After all, Black Swan Graphene no longer has any form of leverage to employ with Nouveau Monde Graphite representatives, so as to convince them that Black Swan Graphene would be the company to jointly partner with and to provision capital fiannce for.
That being said, for the right price and the right terms and conditions NanoXplore could perhaps be a white knight sort of acquirer of a great portion of SWAN's equity or perhaps all of Black Swan Graphene's equity, i.e. provided that Thomas Swan & Co necessarily first funnels into Black Swan Graphene those Thomas Swan & Co and "friends" controlled intellectual properties/trade secrets. At that juncture, there would actually be bonafide and bankable assets which Black Swan graphene would be made to necessarily first possess and which NanoXplore representatives may be enticed to propose something in exchange for.
I reiterate though, there exists an issue which would also first have to be resolved. Such an issue being where Mason Resources' Black Swan Graphene equity stakehold would ultimately need to permanently reside?
We already know that Mason Resources stakeholders are highly motivated to sell said company outright to a buyer requiring all the assets held by Mason Resources, so as to allow Mr. Fahad Al Tamimi and others to cash in on their negotiated grand pay day, so to speak.
There definitely exists an opening for NanoXplore representatives to perhaps seek to exploit here; and when that NanoXplore credit facility is finally locked down, NanoXplore would certainly have some extra capacity to borrow capital with which to seek to undertake some specifc acquisition activity, as well as fund the stated five year strategic business development plan initiatives.
Alas, I have to say that I doubt any of this has any chance of materializing anytime soon.
