*When stating tonnage and grades it is all relative considering cut-offs, estimates and probabilities. The above are just approximates and are meant as a rough guide. Market caps do not consider fully diluted valuation. Rightly or wrongly, these are the assumptions I used to arrive at my figures. Northern Graphite is at 2,500tpd per tonne @ $6,000, Flinders is at 750tpd @ $2500, Focus is at 750tpd @ $2000, and Energizer is at 2,500tpd @ $2500. Cost assumptions are $40 to $45 for FMS, EGZ, FDR while NGC assumes $80 per tonne to get $6,000 product.
