(TSXV: ERA) (OTCQB: ECORF) (FSE: ELM), (the \"Company\" or \"Elcora\"), is pleased to announce that that graphite nano-platelets are formed as a by-product from the laboratory of Elcora's subsidiary, the Graphene Corp. This provides the company with another product line in a growing market.\nImage: https://www.accesswire.com/uploads/elcora72216.jpg \nCannot view this image?

This is a by-product of the Graphene Corporation's high yield graphene production. This material currently sells for between one and fifty dollars per gram depending on the quality. Production of nano-platelets is scalable depending on demand.\n\"This work is a positive step in Elcora's goal of producing graphite added value products that utilizes the same marketing as graphene\" said Troy Grant, Elcora's President and CEO. \"And is another positive step towards Elcora's continued strategic development as vertical integrated graphite company.\"\nAbout Elcora Advanced Materials\nElcora was founded in 2011 and has been structured to become a vertically integrated graphite & graphene company that mines, processes, refines graphite, and produces both the graphene and end user graphene applications. As part of the vertical integration strategy, Elcora has secured high-grade graphite and graphene precursor graphite from its interest in the operation of the Ragedara mine in Sri Lanka which is already in production. Elcora has developed a unique low cost effective processes to make high quality graphite and graphene that are commercially scalable. This combination means that Elcora has the tools and resources for graphite and graphene vertical integration.\nFor further information please visit the comp...
