RE:OEC.WORLD. latest trends September 2023Good information youknowwhat.
So, for NGC specifically, what does all of that matter when the company had been stockpiling graphite material and hadn't processed any graphite ore for several months before September 2023. The processing plant was placed in care and maintenance mode months ago and who knows if the company actually mined any graphite during the previous many months.
Since NGC started up processing of graphite once again, it could be that a certain long maintained customer needs more NGC supplied graphite material.
Who knows?
Although it is odd that Natural graphite in powder or flakes's imports and Chinese exports of natural powder or flake graphite were down on a specific country by country basis.
Could it be a set of North American based companies requiring more of a certain grade of NGC natural flake graphite or is it perhaps a massive bulk sample of a specifc high grade of NGC graphite material needed by a battery materials manufacturer and potential NGC customer and strategic partner?
