What's Best ? I took another poke at the subject, ( " what's the best graphite ? " )
Graphite Flake ( graphite + sheet silica )
or
Greasy Graphite with high ratios of Carbon, carbon family, metalloids ?
Which offers the most carbon, conductivity ? I began by, visually assessing peer graphite drill cores.
I began to question if ( peers ) were using
schist as part of their resource calc.
Schist seen in their cores.
Is Schist considered apart of, graphitics ? It is an allotrope of carbon. Natural graphite is a carbonaceous crystalline mineral that is generally found in ores such as graphite schist...... https://www.xrgraphite.com/graphite-materials/natural-graphite/index.html There it is...
Schist is grouped with, graphite.
Carbon Has no resistivity.
It allows electrons to flow.
Graphite with high carbon, carbon family, even metalloids (
in my opinion ) could
be a far superior blend than... schist graphite.
Which is why, I've been harping on - testing the conductivity of graphite could very well
reclassify ( graphite juniors ) based on conductivity = quality of deposit + actual deposit size..
Example : 50 million tonne resource graded at, 3.5% Cgr
= 1,750,000 tonnes Cgr
Let's now separate Carbon from Graphitics ( which could include ( schist / silica platelettes )
What if there were only, 1% carbon with in the 3.5% Cgr and remaining was, Schist ?
It would mean
The deposit would only have 500k tonnes of Carbon and a massive amount of ore
to process inehich to remove a minescule 1% carbon.
Why might this be important ? Electrical Properties and Anisotropy of Schists
EK Kluge · 2022 · Cited by 2 — Schist samples exhibit a decrease in porosity and an
increase in electrical resistivity approaching the Alpine
https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3263/12/3/121 Resistivity = Inhibits conductivity.
Slows electrons vs Carbon free flows electrons.
Disallow shist to be measured in resources
Graphite Content
Carbon Content
Graphite with, additional carbon family + metalloid family
= Beneficial Conductors How would graphite junior's / miners rank amongst each other if the above were implemented - whose deposit would be more valued ?
Who would have more resources + best conductivity
Perhaps why, i'm attracted to greasy graphite vs schisty silicate graphite.
Remove the graphitic schists from graphite peers,
Where would GEM rank based on conductivity,
Graphite, Carbon, Carbon family + metalloids ( even Al, Ti )
Schist graphite juniors might rank bottom of, roster.

For my theory of dimagnetic carbon being the levatator of planets such as earth,
one could counter my theory and say... other planets don't have plant ecosystems
therefore no carbon crust could develop = no dimagnetism between magnetic iron core
and crustal carbon.
MARS
has considerble CO2 gas in atmosphere ( ha )
Iron on surface would have to be = iron carbonate.
= Carbonate mineral crusts rescting with inner iron core magnetism = levatstion.
The results SAM spit out confirmed the makeup of the Martian atmosphere at the surface: 95% by volume of carbon dioxide (CO2), 2.6% molecular nitrogen (N2), 1.9% argon (Ar), 0.16% molecular oxygen (O2), and 0.06% carbon monoxide (CO).Nov 12, 2019
