Focus Metals Inc. is an emerging mid-tier junior mining company, a technology solutions supplier and a business innovator. It is the owner of the highest-grade (17%) technology graphite resource in the world. The company's goal is to assume a dominant industry leadership position by becoming the lowest-cost producer of technology-grade graphite. It could subsequently assume the role of a global consolidator of technology graphite production through international expansion, mergers and acquisitions. A technology-oriented enterprise with a view to building long-term, sustainable shareholder value, Focus Metals is invested in the development of graphene application patents through Grafoid, Inc., its graphene development subsidiary.

Expert Analysis

The Critical Metals Report Interview with Jack Lifton (2/7/12) "Other possible future graphite suppliers include Focus Metals Inc. It owns the Lac Knife graphite deposit near Fermont in Northern Quebec. Lac Knife has measured, indicated and inferred resources of approximately 8 Mt grading 15.6% graphite and is still open."

The Critical Metals Report Interview with Ryan Fletcher (1/24/12) "[One of] the most well known public companies [is] Focus Metals Inc. . .Focus acquired the Lac Knife Graphite Project from a subsidiary of IAMGOLD Corp. This was a known deposit located in northern Québec, with feasibility work completed prior to NI 43-101. The project was discovered in the 1980s. . .Focus has now come out with an NI 43-101 resource that shows an attractive grade—about 16%.

Another intriguing thing about Focus is its work with end-users on the technology side. The company's longer-term business plan is pretty intriguing—to become not only a producer of graphite but also developing end use markets, somewhat of a mine-to-market strategy." More >

The Critical Metals Report Interview with Chris Berry (1/10/12) "Focus Metals Inc. is an interesting case. It's run by Gary Economo, who has been involved with graphite for a long time on the technology side. The company has chosen a different angle in telling its story to the investing public. It is very focused on future end products involving graphite and specifically grapheme. . .once Focus builds out the Lac Knife deposit and brings it into production, its goal is to capture additional margin along the value chain by creating next-generation clean-tech and green-tech applications. . .Focus plans to bring Lac Knife into production in 2014. It just released a NI 43-101 report that delineated a very high-grade resource that appears to be open in all directions. In 2012, one of the main catalysts will be a broader drilling campaign to fully delineate the size of this resource and push it toward a production decision." More >

Byron King, Energy and Scarcity Investor (11/16/11) "On technology trends alone, Focus Metals Inc. is a great play: I've also looked at other graphite companies out there, and I don't see anyone that can compete with this company on the basis of ore quality and grade. I believe that with Focus we have the best of the best, right here; Focus offers you a chance to own a part of what may be the world's best-quality ore body, plus a tech angle with stupendous upside as the uses for large flake graphite and graphene expand."

Byron King, Energy & Scarcity Investor (9/26/11) "Focus Metals Inc. is cashed up and the ore body is superb. . .we're looking at a 24–36-month development where the company will mine graphite at about $400/ton and sell into a world market that's paying about $2,000/ton. We're also looking at an astonishing research and development program that's yielding patentable ideas, which means that there's a tech upside to Focus."
