Graphene emerges as new battlefront for graphite industry’s juniors

“Developing a value-added business model that is attractive to investors is the aim.”

That being said, he added that it was unlikely that the majority of graphite miners or processors would ever want to enter the graphene race. Many would feel it is too big a departure from their core industrial businesses of refractories, foundries, lubricants and, to some extent, batteries. It would also take significant research and development investment to compete with the public and private companies that are already established, many of which were leading university spin-offs.

“Therefore expect to see the rise of a new style of company, a carbon nanotech company that may use small volumes of flake graphite but won’t share strong ties with the mining industry. As a result, also expect the focus of natural graphite producers to be fixed on refractories and batteries, while graphene’s pioneers attempt to create a new industrial paradigm.

“On the flipside, do not underestimate the fear of missing out. This could force one or two of the biggest graphite companies into action. Watch this space,” Moores commented.

At the risk of repeating myself,I still believe that SER will sell the graphene patents/rights to VXL,pure speculation on my part,but how else can they/we monetise what we own?
This would be a " classic win-win",which is managements MO.
