Alabama Graphite is located in, Alabama.
While,
Volt Resources out of, Austalia has Graphite in
Africa and Ukraine and makes mention in press of,
Anovion announced in May that it plans to build an $800 million plant in Georgia,
funded partially by a US Department of Energy grant First thing that came to mind ? Mason's deposit assay results.has manganese with in deposit.
Second Though ? Fear factor of, China producing synthetic graphite.
Noooo,, not petcoke carbon rather,
formulizing a mix of, Mn, Mg, Sn, Al, Cr, Ti, +++ Carbon.
Scary eh ?
Third Thought US pulls the sneaky - Switches up battery anode material.
Replacement for natural graphite.
Anovion announced in May that it plans to build an $800 million plant in Georgia, funded partially by a US Department of Energy grant, to produce synthetic graphite, which is made from needle coke instead of mined graphite flakes. Then, in June, Epsilon announced plans for a $650 million facility in the US that would produce 50,000 metric tons (t) of synthetic graphite annually. Another firm, Graphex Technologies, has received an environmental permit for a graphite facility in Michigan. Any Canadian Co's ? US DoD, Alabama Graphite, Volt Resources ( Au ), Graphex Technologies
Anything else of interest ? ( same article ) Battery makers also continue to look for ways to reduce the cost of cathodes, the positive end of a battery and the most expensive component. One option is to replace nickel with less expensive manganese. In addition, adding manganese to lithium iron phosphate batteries, which are cheaper than nickel-based batteries, can boost energy density.
The US hasn’t produced manganese ore since the 1970s, but in May, a US agency decided to fast-track permits for South32’s manganese and zinc mining project in Arizona. In June, General Motors announced that it would provide an $85 million loan for
Element 25’s manganese sulfate facility in Louisiana, which would be the first such plant in the US. GM has agreed to buy up to 32,500 t of the plant’s annual output, produced using ore from Australia.

Grat might be in the know of a US anode shift... revealed by poster of mystery Mn claims
but i don't think the shareholders have connected the dots that US maybe shifting to
Mn with sulphur spin.
Which begs... Are Quebec Graphite junior's with contingency plsns ?
Diamond chips, nuclear batteries, graphene, solar, hydrogen, roof tiles, Cgr spray ex car ?
Or... will they wait till US issss making Mn sulphur anodes and find themselves looking
the part of ( d + d ) ?
I have never seen such an unprepared mineral sector. Graphite caters to several end products... yet, juniors are in battery button cell ( stuck mode ).
Absolutely no organization in, Canada. Hence - Quebec Geaphite Tech Hub would do wonders.
Here's Mason's assays ( referrence for GEM ) since we shareholders haven't
a clue what's in the Berkwood for full mineral content.

Did not draft a contingency for transitioning from old system to, stakeholder.
Which is why many investors still sit, wonder, what exactly is going on.
Lil monies given to juniors forces juniors to pair with tech or lab firms who want %
Juniors with no means of capital... hmmm, many have seen consolodations.
Hence, advisors should've made provisional measures inwhich to avoid critical mineral
stocks from seeing all time low valuations - translated - wealth taken from sm investors
via consolodations and tech ir labs wanting too much percentage.
A level playing ground has to be devised otherwise sm investors are not seeing the
reward as they should.
Present course... ? Markets will not be able to sustain, soon many juniors will see financial difficulties
even to carry the claims - again - scales tipped in favor of stakeholder format / tech
Markets dictate the health of a country's economy and wealth.
If market crashes - stakeholder format will scoop valuble critical minerals pennies on $
Not quite fair to junior nor sm investor.
Alloting a 10% in situ value on drilled resources in the ground would allow
CM stocks to repair and drive investors back into CM inwhich public funding PP's enter tthe
scene to help support the CM projects to avert a complete dominance by, stakeholders + tech.
Repairing investor confidence begins with, valuating resources with 10% in situ.
Using spot prices.
Think it's silly ? Not at all.
Gold oz in the ground use this format.
Gold resources that are near surface recieve even higher in situ oz value.
FORMULA Correcting in situ value = Repairs valuations = Draws more investors in market Market repairs = more investor monies advance projects About done researching the graphite sector. Hope my posts have offered inspiration and insight while covering numerous topics
that move and shape the graphite industry.
