WR There are a number of things that need to be done on all graphite properties in order to move the project forward.
They must all be 43-101 compliant and I believe them to be the following:
calculation of the resource
full suite of metallurigal tests
PEA
then PFS or directly to BFS
As the Company moves forward they will have to do baseline environmental studies along with the prepartion of the Mine Closure plan.
From start to finish the above processes could take 3 to 5 years.
Once the above are complete a Company may get an offtake.
