RE:The Future of NOU?Caramba...natural graphite is everywhere man... it is a baby that exist forever....so for it to become a primadonna of minerals many factors have to play in....first... the cost of both financial and ecoligical way of doing the normal synthetic has to become unbearable to shift the manufacture to use natural graphite..... 2nd the demand has to be there..........go back 75 years and would you have invested in a company that wanted to bottle water for canada?????? today bottle water sells in the convenience store for 2 bucks a liter.....and i doubt that the real cost is above 5 cents to produce (container worth more than the content)....
graphite is similar.... it is everywhere just as water is everywhere....quality varies just as water quality varies... there was always the talk of tech saying they had better ways to purify water system... still billions of water bottle are being distribute world wide...
that being said... Eric msg to us implied that they were not negotiating for letter of intent for raw products but for finished product... that will take time and unfortunately lots of money so
next phase is how much money will the government put in and how much will the lenders do
because i beleive it will need an additional 350 million + to completely operate
that is my point of view
