RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:ZenKnats excited about their Valuable Graphene after annual And you still didn't answer the question. Why is that?
Going back to the shareholder post about the meeting, the only mention of the method to be used for bulk sample recovery is drilling. Let's go with that.
The largest standard core size is PQ. The length of PQ core that contains one cubic metre of rock is 17.6 metres. Assuming 2.7 for the density, then 17.6/2.7 = 6.53 m PQ core per tonne of material. To obtain 990 tonnes in this way would require 6462 metres of drilling. (all numbers rounded for presentation)
In this calculation, I have totally ignored getting through overburden, but you pay for that too. PQ drilling is more expensive per metre and slower than drilling NQ or even HQ. Winter road access? Eek.
Pick a cost per metre for drilling, whatever, we're into the seven figure costs right there.
Then you have to haul it, find a custom operator to crush it and float it to concentrate, purify it, turn it into graphene....
I look forward to seeing their thoughts on this bulk sample program.
