RE: one step closer Acceptance or "filing" of the Mine Closure Plan by year end will enable site works to begin including the clearing of internal roads, plant site and tailings basin. Subject to financing, the Company will be in a position to begin plant construction in the spring of 2013. Construction of the plant and infrastructure will take approximately one year. Production in Q2 2014 is an attainable goal and should coincide with improving economies, a recovery in the graphite market and higher graphite prices.
