RE:RE:RE:RE:Bobgreenfieldyes i do own zen but definetely nervous about recent activity so I'm not sure I'm a supporter no matter what. That being said let's do your math -
15 tons a day at what percentage of graphite? That's the CCB problem. Unlike flake deposits that have large overall percentages based on large areas - real mines like Stratmin or when Ontario was in operation - had about 2.5 to 3% total but 2.5 to 3% truly over very large areas that was consistent over years. Yet Ontario shut down and Stratmin is almost finished. Talking about 100% purity is not truly commercial - any graphite company can pay SGS $8000 to produce 99%+ but it's process is for show its not commercially viable. Most offtakes are based on 95% purity and the opec of graphite process to end user specs - that's how they make their money and they won't let anyone get in the way of that. CCB was very interesting until I was told about the reality of the nature of vein distribution - in a first world country the economics are very questionable when graphite is selling less than $1500 tonne
