RE:$B's for processing, nothing for miningOgopogo007,
You were obviously speaking wiith the wrong people at the PDAC.
Had you spoken with a certain GM representative or perhaps Nouveau Monde Graphite representatives and/or Panasonic representatives, such most informed persons would perhaps tell you that Nouveau Monde Graphite is more likely to be provisioned about $250 Million worth in capital loan guarantees by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation and at least $100 Million in U.S. DOD and DOE grants.
That's correct Ogopogo007. When you have GM going to bat for you with the most senior representatives of various U.S. Government funded agencies, it would be clear that many doors would be quickly opened and Government coffers reached into in supporting a company which is deemed to be of U.S. National Strategic Economic importance for both the U.S. and Canada and ultimately a company which is deemed to be of U.S. National Security and Canadian National Security importance.
Nouveau Monde Graphite is considered to be the new North American graphite mining and 35,000 tpa SPCG "BAM" process manufacturing Champion.
Perhaps Retired Major General and The Honorable Albert C. Zapanta can grease some political wheels, so to speak, on behalf of Northern Graphite Corporation.
It is an election year and the Democratic Party coffers must be filled with the necessarily contributed amounts of donations serving to ensure another four more years for President slow Joe and "10% for the big guy" Biden can be bought.
Heck, perhaps NGC's BOD can appoint a former Ukranian General as a senior advisor to NGC's CEO and Board of Directors as well.
After all, $1.4 Billion is chump change for the Ukrainian government administrators and their lieges.
Ultimately, I'll go one better though.
Perhaps NGC's BOD representatives can appoint Hunter Biden to NGC's board of directors and ensure that "10% for the big guy" can make it's way to the designated intermediaries?
