Mesa celebrates expansion of Urbix Resources
into Falcon District
(Launch Point got re-located into empty space at The Mesa Center for Higher Education, the former police station, before city officials cooked-up plans for an ASU satellite campus.)
"Urbix was founded in 2014 and was the first client at the downtown Mesa location of LaunchPoint, the Mesa Technology Accelerator whose mission is to stimulate the establishment and growth of small technology-based companies and other businesses in the east valley. . . "
>> YOU CAN READ ALL OF WHAT THE POLITICIANS SAID in the press release, but here's the better read-out:
"This is a fantastic moment in our young history. To see how this relatively small facility of just 31,000 square feet will have such positive impact in the U.S.'s Energy Storage Critical Mineral Strategy, and also in the world, is super motivating and exciting," Urbix Resources Chairman and Co-Founder Nico Cuevas said.
"This is a huge milestone for us and we have plenty more work to do. We have an incredible team at Urbix and amazing support from the City of Mesa, the region and the state of Arizona."

ASX-listed Bass Metals and downstream graphite processor Urbix Resources have signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) to identify the optimum joint venture (JV) structure and product mix with a view of establishing a production facility in Madagascar.
Bass and Urbix would delineate terms for establishing a JV facility in Madagascar capable of producing a purified high-value graphite product, which would use Urbix’s propriety technology and Bass’ graphmada large flake graphite.
Urbix’s proprietary advanced technology includes environment- and cost-conscious purification methods that were not reliant on environmentally unsustainable hydrofluoric acid treatments, Bass noted.

Urbix is currently engaged in building what will be one of the largest natural graphite purification facilities in North America.
Upon completion, the 9 450 km2 facility at Falcon Airfield in Mesa, Arizona will have the capability of purifying up to 24 000 t/y.
The parties would aim to establish the JV in the next 180 days.

Valley graphene startup to open larger Mesa production facility
Startup also unloaded assets in Mexico for undisclosed price
22 August 2018
Now here's a Lo-Fi downtown Mesa success story if ever there was one: the transformation of an under-used existing 53,000 sq.ft building that didn't deliver the results when city officials wanted to make Mesa "a college town" by locating Wilkes University and the so-called Center for Higher Education in the former Police Building on 2nd Street.

A New Era For Transnational AZ-Mexico Tech Development
Chairman of Mesa-based Urbix, Nico Cuevas Ushers in a New Graphene Era
by Maciej Heyman
Phoenix, Arizona – May 15, 2017 – At a TEDx event in Hermosillo, Mexico early in May, Phoenix-based Urbix Resources co-founder and chairman, Nico Cuevas, heralded in the Graphene Age.
“We are entering a new era,” Cuevas told a full and enthusiastic audience at the Auditorio del COBACH.
What is coming, Cuevas says, is a “wave of innovation that will allow a social and economic development only comparable to the Industrial Revolution.”
As Cuevas points out, graphene makes possible the next level of technological development, including conductive inks for the production of ultra thin and ultralight circuitry, radically thin mobile phones, super-light bulletproof vests, water purification membranes, light and highly efficient batteries and other innovations . . .
