[ACCESSWIRE]
CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / February 8, 2018 / Benchmark Mineral Intelligence analyst Andrew Miller said, "For the first time in over five years, we're now seeing consistent increases in pricing due to supply-side pressures. At the same time, you have the emergence of new demand from value-added applications such as expandable graphite and spherical graphite for lithium-ion batteries."
According to an October report from investment bank Jefferies, the graphite electrode supply shortage could last five years or more. For graphite miners, this could be a large catalyst in order to meet the growing demand the industry is creating but far more attention could begin to focus on graphene.
Graphene, due to its diminutive size and amazing thermal, electrical, and optical properties, will allow for further miniaturization and allow computers to continue on their historical track - doubling in power every two years. Graphene also has the potential to completely disrupt the consumer electronics industry, especially when it comes to smartphones.
The great potential for increased market opportunity shows big possibilities for investors and companies as operations and new mining opportunities hit the market. With demand increasing, current supply stores at lows, it will come down to mining Companies within the nickel, lithium, and graphite to prospect new areas of mining. These companies include: Graphite Energy Corp (OTC PINK: GRXXF) and Lithium X Energy Corp. (OTC PINK: LIXXF).
