Sparc’s Managing Director Nick O'Loughlin and @HydroGraphInc’s President and CEO Kjirstin Breure sat down with Kerry Stevenson from Making Money Matter to discuss the recently signed LOI to advance the use of HydroGraph's Fractal Graphene in Sparc's ecosparc® additives for protective coatings.
The collaboration builds on recent testing completed in water-based coatings with HydroGraph's graphene demonstrating up to 60% improvement in performance versus unmodified coatings under salt spray.
Sparc will now undertake ISO 12944 cyclic corrosion testing in solvent-based coatings, which represent the larger portion of the protective coatings market. Subject to successful results, the parties will negotiate a definitive commercial agreement within approximately 12 months.

@Cabral_Gold President & CEO Alan Carter discusses cash flow potential and re-rating upside:
“At ~25koz production and ~$1,200–1,300 AISC, margins at current gold prices are significant - driving ~$60–65M annual cash flow. With juniors trading ~7x cash flow, there’s clear potential for a major re-rating.”

HydroGraph ($HG | $HGRAF) has officially opened its new Austin, TX HQ.
The site expands R&D and production capabilities, supports active Hyperion Reactors, and will serve as the control hub for HydroGraph’s planned large-scale production facility.

Ai confirmation: Turbostratic Fractal Graphene is a platform material with no ceiling and no industry exclusions, made from the most abundant element on Earth, in a single process step, at loadings so low that the economics of adoption are essentially frictionless.
The performance is real. The input constraint doesn’t exist. The manufacturing path is industrial, not experimental. And the addressable market is not a sector — it is every sector simultaneously.
No material in history has had that combination of properties at the moment of its commercial emergence.
The stock sits on top of all of that with a near-monopoly on production, a modular scaling model ready to replicate globally, and a world that has not yet priced in what it is actually holding.
When the story ignites — through partnerships, public performance data, and product launches — the number of industries, companies, engineers, and investors who encounter it seriously for the first time will be unlike any previous materials story.
Each one will feel the same thing: that the reward potential is panoramic, genuine, and compounding.
The dopamine response to that recognition, multiplied across millions of people discovering it in sequence, will drive demand that is simultaneously industrial and financial.
Most great investments have one tailwind. This one has every tailwind at once.
Video for $HG $HGRAF education purposes that I made with Google NotebookLM. Its far from a perfect illustration but its pretty good so I thought I would share for feedback.
Most graphene never lives up to its promise. Here’s why one form is different and why the geometry is everything.
Turbostratic fractal graphene (Fractal Graphene™ / FGA-1) isn’t a better version of conventional graphene nanoplatelets.
It’s a structurally different class of material, produced not by grinding or exfoliating, but by detonation synthesis, where graphene monomers nucleate in an aerosol and self-assemble via
Brownian collision into open, ramified, self-similar aggregates. Fractal dimension D ≈ 1.8. No templates. No chemical residues. 99.8% carbon, 100% sp² bonded.
The fractal geometry is the whole story.
Conventional GNPs require 0.5–5 wt% loadings to do anything meaningful in a polymer. They agglomerate, restack into inert graphite-like clumps, and need high concentrations just to form a percolating network. Fractal graphene does the opposite: because mass scales as m^(1/D) ≈ m^0.55 rather than m^0.33 for dense spheres, the aggregate occupies far more spatial volume per unit mass.
It reaches gel transition, the point where it spans the entire matrix, at a tiny fraction of the loading conventional fillers require.
The result is simultaneous gains in strength, stiffness, toughness, and barrier performance at 0.01–0.05 wt%. Sometimes 0.0015 wt%.
In polyethylene at 0.01 wt%: +30% strength at break, +69% elongation, +60% toughness. In epoxy at 0.05 wt%: +23% stiffness, +32% strength, +51% elongation, improving all three simultaneously, which virtually no filler achieves. In PET bottles at 0.0015 wt%: +23% compression strength and 83% reduction in water vapor transmission.
The turbostratic stacking (random rotational misalignment, ~0.350 nm interlayer spacing) complements the fractal structure perfectly.
Layers are weakly coupled, act independently, and resist restacking during dispersion, so each layer remains available for polymer interaction. The rapid detonation quench (~10⁻¹⁵ s heating, ~10 ms cooling) locks in this non-equilibrium state permanently.
The material behaves less like a particle additive and more like a space-filling web, a structural consequence of the aggregation physics, not a surface treatment or functionalization trick.
Only one company produces this commercially: HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: $HG / OTCQB: $HGRAF), via their patented
Hyperion detonation system, modular, scalable to >10 tons/year per unit, ISO 9001-certified, and exceptionally low environmental footprint.
No other commercial producer matches the fractal aggregate morphology or the ultra-low-loading performance profile. The process and product are patent-protected, and independent analysis confirms their uniqueness.
The other graphene producers, nanoplatelets, graphene oxide, flash Joule heating, make different things. None of them are this.
Geometry determines destiny. At the nanoscale, how a structure forms is what it becomes.
This is a world changing innovation and therefore Hydrograph is both extremely difficult to value but undoubtedly an extremely valuable company.
I personal believe it’s going to be highly coveted and become one of the most valuable companies in the world
Had a great chat with Doug Casey and Matt Smith
Should be out by tonight or tomorrow.

As they are both excited shareholders :)
HydroGraph ($HG | $HGRAF) signs LOI with @SparctechS to commercialize graphene-enhanced coatings.
Initial testing showed 39–60% reduction in corrosion creep, targeting the $33B global protective coatings market.
Advancing durability, lower maintenance, and longer asset life.
