RE:Stockwatch coverage.hey Bob how conveniently you purposely missed the CCB part stockwatch comment LOL: "Bruce Duncan's Canada Carbon Inc. (CCB), down one-half cent to 29 cents on 453,000 shares, is seeking new permits for the old graphite processing mill on its Asbury project northwest of Montreal in Quebec. The old permits expired in 2000 and much has happened since then -- none of it good. Mr. Duncan, CEO and chairman, says -- this is an enthusiastic promoter speaking, mind you -- that some historic mill buildings are still present, although they are in a state of disrepair. In other words, many are not there and the rest are Howe Street fixer-uppers at best. He says Asbury still sports the "structural components" of a concentrator plant -- the walls perhaps -- along with two offices, a workshop, tailings storage facilities and a large parking area. (It would be difficult to remove a parking area.) Canada Carbon acquired Asbury over two years ago but Mr. Duncan has not mentioned the play since then. Asbury was mined from 1974 to 1989, processing 875,000 tonnes of rock at a cut-off grade of 6 per cent. Falling graphite prices forced the mine to close in 1990 and the plant was shuttered in the mid-1990s, when a five-year lease to Stratmin Graphite Inc. expired." Aubrey Eveleigh's Zenyatta Ventures Ltd. (ZEN) closed unchanged at $1.45 on 78,000 shares. Zenyatta went through the hoopla of a halt Wednesday only to have investors shrug off news about the company's $500,000 grant from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corp (NOHF). NOHF is a "provincial government funding organization" in the words of Mr. Eveleigh and the bureaucrats' jargon is even thicker: they say NOHF is "pleased to offer unique programs to help foster hope and opportunity across Northern Ontario." Mr. Eveleigh says the grant will support and advance the continuing process flow sheet that the company's consultants are developing for the "unique Albany graphite deposit" west of James Bay. The grant may not foster much hope among Zenyatta's suffering shareholders, who have been waiting for an Albany dream sheet for over a year. Mr. Eveleigh has delayed the study repeatedly, saying the consultants need more time to complete metallurgical work and optimize the flow sheet. The consultants have been beavering away on that flow sheet for about a year, presumably in the hope of proving the Albany graphite could supplant synthetic graphite in batteries and nuclear reactors. The resulting price pump could compensate for Albany's modest grade.
