All the signs were there: A long awaited move to production, a long period of silence broken with news, a financing near the 52-week low that the largest shareholder was buying most of… Ceylon Graphite (CYL.V) wasn’t exactly making a secret of the fact that the rubber was hitting the road for them over the…

Ceylon Graphite (CYL.V) moves into production – no, you heard that right… PRODUCTION
One of the things that pisses a lot of investors off about the resource sector is, the confluence of events most investors are looking for – revenues in and a smaller amount of expenses out – you know, ‘actually doing business’ – rarely occurs, because so few resource deals ever move into actual production.

Anatomy of a shit-show: Saint Jean Carbon (SJL.V) wants to be a fidget spinner
Over the last few years, we’ve shivved a lot of terrible companies trying to pull a fast one on investors and, almost always, when we do, we face a few weeks of abuse from that company’s faithful. When we said Imagination Park (IP.C) was a bullshit fantasy playing on most people’s ignorance of the virtual…

Nano One Materials (NNO.V) announces big battery tech partnership with 350-yr-old French giant Saint Gobain
Since the first day that I first mentioned Nano One Materials, way back when Equity.Guru began, Nano One Materials (NNO.V) has always been lining itself up for the day, sometime in the distant future, when a big global player would come in and verify that, yes, they have something here, and it’s something important.

Nano One Materials (NNO.V) lifts off, up 20% on news of partnership with major auto supplier
You’ve gotta hand it to the IR guys, science guys, and execs behind Nano One Materials (NNO.C). This is one hell of a well crafted news release: Nano One has begun working with a tier 1 automotive supplier on the development of cobalt-free high-voltage spinel (HVS) and nickel-rich NMC cathode materials (622, 811) for the…

Chinese delegation inspects Nano One’s (NNO.V) unsexy technology

Manganese X (MN.V) does a happy dance
Ask a Canadian investor about Potash – and they’ll start nattering about decreasing arable land and a new generation of carnivores in India. Same thing with gold, oil, copper, lithium, graphite; rudimentary knowledge is commonplace. Ask most people about Manganese, they’re not sure if it’s a baking ingredient or the family name of a French…
