Mickey Fulp on Vein/Lump PricesA Flaker at heart, but he backs the wrong horses and not Zenyatta which he still fails to understand.
“Natural graphite can be divided into five different products. “We have a very specialty market for vein or lump graphite and that is very coarse-grained graphite,” Fulp said. “It is very high priced, selling for something on the order of $8,000-$10,000 per tonne” This is produced by small, hand-cobbed mines in Sri Lanka, he noted.”
Soon the winner Zenyatta, Vein/Lump/Hydrothermal!
“Graphite, he noted, has three market sectors that include synthetic graphite selling for around $10,000 to $20,000 per tonne and mainly used in for carbon electrodes for the steel industry; carbon fiber that has replaced fiberglass; and natural graphite, a $1 billion market, with 1.1 million tonnes of mine supply in 2011.”
Synthetic sells for $10K-20K per tonne says Mickey Fulp. Wonder what Zenyatta’s
Hydrothermal Graphite will “Off-take” for in price, when our cousin, in the Vein/Lump Natural Market commands $8000-$10,000 per tonne and then with Albany’s Synthetic Like characteristics?
I assume Zenyatta has the best Natural Graphite, better than Sri Lankan with Synthetic –Like characteristics that will command a higher price, and range $10K (Sri Lankan High) to $20,000 K per Synthetic Tonne.
