RE:Bring on the offtakesContinuity of mined graphite supply from Lac des Illes or alternatively from a toll processing agreement reached with neighboring graphite deposit developing companies (e.g. Graphano Energy Limited, GEL.V and/or any other more advanced graphite project) should be the only thing Hugues Jacquemin et al should be concentrating on achieving.
Perhaps you, Ogopogo007, aboslutely forgot that the historical Lac des Illes graphite resource is to be more quickly depleted during this year, due to graphite mining and graphite processing operations being ramped up to the 25,000 tpa graphite processing facility nameplate capacity.
At the intended processing clip suggested, there is little to no chance (unless there is some all too conveniently engineered catastrophic failure at that LDI graphite processing facility) that NGC doesn't run out of graphite to mine before the supposed 2 Million+ and entirely unproven graphite deposit, which has been suggested as having been found within the existing pit at LDI, is actually deliniated and sufficiently proven up before it can actualy be mined. Perhaps mined in a far too "constrained" manner and perhaps therefore ultimately found to be an uneconomic endeavor.
