RE:okay Student, I'll bite...Gorilladome47,
You went on to state "Raw, natural flake from LDI 2.0, Bissett, and Namibia would go a long way in the near term...especially within the backdrop of a potential graphite bull market due to Chinese supply restrictions, or an outright ban".
First, I suspect representatives of any given OEM or even the representatives of a company like Rain Carbon would much rather seek to expedite the development of Graphano Energy's graphite bearing lands find and bring a graphite mine at those lands into production; perhaps doing so whilst concurrently seeking to have NGC necessarily "prove up" the suggested find within and below the existing LDI pit.
For many reasons and even though I expect Graphano Energy representatives and primary stakeholders wouldn't be enclined to consent to the idea, I maintain that both the Graphano graphite bearing lands projects, Lac Bouleaux and Standard Mine project lands, along with NGC's LDI and Mousseau East and West graphite projects should be brought together under the equity control of one company.
Is that company Rain Carbon? I don't know. I can say it's clear that Heraeus Group hasn't demonstrated any interest in supporting NGC in seeking to undertake such transactions.
Why Heraues Group would not be wanting to commit to such an undertaking would be obvious. It's due to "Sprott" being the most senior and secured first lien NGC creditor.
We have "Sprott", Heraeus Group, Rain Carbon and even some relationship with Edgewater Capital Partners/Neograf Solutions, LLC, all finacially immensely capable corporations; and yet, none of them want to infuse the necessary capital, not even at the CAD$0.045 all-time low share price point nor current share price points, into NGC with which to actually pursue anything at all which could genuinely be considered "a value add" to the company and it's operations.
Why is that Gorilladome47?
Why is it that all these players that are in one way or another associated with Northern Graphite simply refuse to do anything other than to ensure that NGC management could be provided the excuse to fully and finally dilute all NGC equities investors out from our respective equity investment value.
It's obvious that you and many others are trying to make far too much out of this recent China signaling they are prepared to go toe to toe with The Donald and his long projected as intended China trade policy directives. It's blatantly obvious as to why would would want to do so.
Did it ever occur to you and others that I too want to be able to not only finally extricate myself from what had been turned by management into being this sad sack of a NGC enterprise; heck, I too prefer to be realizing an ROI here.
Perhaps shoould the NGC share price be made to be incrementally be taken upward to and beyond the CAD$0.55 mark, my being able to extricate myself would be possible.
Clearly, the odds are firmly against my/our being able to do so; and yet, I have to say that even "the hail mary attempt" for the endzone by and on behalf of a clearly desperate group of NGC.V players during the last seconds of the game has been known to at times allow teams to actually win a Superbowl.
