Its applications include: Medicine; high temperature lubricants; heat resistant glass; ceramics and most importantly in rechargeable batteries where the most rapid growth is now occurring.\n\nBrancote Canada acquired the Root Lake Property together with a portfolio of properties from Conwest Mining Inc in 1997.
