RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Anyone want to take a guess when we getGood points Chief, but we are really guessing at this point (at least I know that I am).
I was anticipating that, as part of the joint venture, the specialty processor would fund the start-up costs.
Other factors to consider - do they want flotation concentrate or just the ore?
I wouldn't expect production processing in Europe, transportation costs would be horrendous.
However, if most of the customers are in Europe and the final product is the best in the world, maybe those transportation costs are tolerable.
What would it cost them to set up a Quebec processing plant?
Again that gets back to a requirement for a minimum supply of raw material.
Lots of options, as long as the graphite is as good as we think it is.
That is my investment thesis - if the graphite is as good as documented by all the testing to date and if CCB can outline a rolling resource, there will be plenty of potential customers and plenty of available options - CCB would be in the driver's seat.
