RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Re:NorthernThe funny thing is that I am pretty sure that the CSPG process changes when you use different graphite, so that would make Northers's processes proprietary for their graphite and every other company would have processes that are proprietary and designed specifically for their own graphite.
Northern has been increasing their mine size to get better opex and capex numbers,
the problem with copying alp's plan to produce 5000tpa of CSPG is that their capex and opex per tonne will increase significantly due to the rock being so hard, grades low, and remote location requiring expensive infrastructure that would be too expensive to put in for a small mine. These other companies cannot just copy alp's plan and think it will be economical because they do not have the advantages alp does. They are worried and have done nothing since don left 2 years ago.
