RE: New to this stock/commodity Small amounts of large flake are available for research and development from several sources today but only NGC will have large and jumbo flake available for sale in tonnage for decades to come thus guaranteeing dependable supply to end-users. Therefore they have no known competition for jumbo flake (which tests out as the highest quality flake in the world) and should be in production mid-2013 assuming funding comes in after the bankable feasibility study which is due this quarter.
