Summary for new investors *New Investors*
I pulled some info and sent it to a friend who was buying GRAT shares. Here it is for new investors on the board - welcome! *Source: Company presentations and news releases.
"Gratomic will start commercial processing commissioning at 20,000 tpa around the end of March 2021. Then increase to 45,000 tpa shortly afterwards.
Then they are targeting to move to 100,000 tpa by end of 2022, early 2023. (Arno Brand as detailed in the Benchmark's Africa Day - Battery Raw Materials presentation).
All with a very high input grade of vein graphite at 45% Cg to 86% Cg just to the input side of the crushing plant. (Not 4% to 6% Cg grades like our peers). Which drives Gratomic’s OPEX costs WAY DOWN and profit margins WAY UP.
PEA and 43-101 coming out around APRIL/MAY 2021.
Results coming back from Dorfner Anzaplan on spherical micronization and classification
Gratomic M97 graphite being listed on the new commodity exchange.
Shipped an additional 550 Kg of battery grade graphite to OEM battery manufacturers for their analysis.
Then to top it all off, Gratomic’s share float is getting VERY TIGHT.
Extremely solid and experienced team - read everyone's bio here:

Note: Arno has disclosed multiple times in various interviews and conversations with marketing groups the internal estimates from the 2016-17 drilling and electromagnetic survey testing. The first 350 meters of the 15 km strike length, (which Arno and Armando disclosed on Thursday’s Benchmark Minerals presentation is now estimated at 25 Km’s long) is at 2.4 million tonnes of graphite. Then over 700 meters from the Aukam mountain face is at a total of 4.6 million tonnes of graphite." The upcoming PEA and 43-101 will provide the detailed analysis.
