CARBON BLACK
Out of al lthe research papers i've read that addressed - graphite -
#1 importance is - carbon purity
#2 is - flake size.
But.. it's the carbon that's most important - one only needs to research how graphene is made
which is the superior product ( holy grail )
it's all about the carbon.
From what i've researched ( carbon ) stems from organic decayed matter, or, circles around ( lead deposits ) that appear to have been affected - transitioned - in a faashion that's been altered with extreme heat to produce a carbon black - now, lead is very mandable, with a low melting point - and from what i can see ( own opinion ) i would say lead might invade a crystaline complex such as mica, silica, or schist, and merges with this crystaline to crerate a flake graphitic or visa vera crystalines invade lead.
Remember, graphite is also considered a - plumb-lead..
Lead batteries are perhaps the most durable battery ever designed.
Superb charge values and discharge values.
Lead = cornerstone.
While carbon purity (orgainic charred remains of nature ) or inorganic ( metsls ) is the
importance of what is needed to produce - battery products such as spheres or rounds even with
silicon to arrive at a product that allows electrical ( ion ) retention and discharge and the extension of yet another product known as, graphene.
PEER GRAPHITE CORE SAMPLES
I'm seeing, lead constituents, schist, charred mica, and black carbon is very apparent.
Focus Graphite

I'm not seeing any flakes...
i perhaps see a lead with carbon blend.
Northern Graphite

Northern only has about 1.5% grade. It appears the thin medium grey is the target.
While the other ore looks like a charred schist.
Mason Graphite -

I'm seeing lots of, black carbon + schist.

I'm seeing carbon and schist. .
Sri Lanka -

I'm seeing lumpy - chunky, lead. ( lol )
Asian Graphite -
Hmmmm... I'm seeing host rock of some sort with lead and carbon.

I'll admit - i'm no expert on this subject...
But the more i research the more i'm coming to the realizatiom,
there are two distinct valuesat play.... carbon - or - lead.
Under the guise of - graphite terminology.
I would love it if the industry compartmetalized each of these two minerals and
defined them for they really are...lol
I'm begining to think the market is using two forms of this so called graphite.
One's moreso - lead.
While the other... is in my opinion entirely different.
It's dealing with a black carbon that is far more versatile when speaking in terms of,
graphene... so many products can be made with graphene
2 Aces claims aside of Spanish does have lead.
And... Spanish shows black carbon i nargillites or, what i think is a basalt.
So... if Spanish has a good 8.79% carbon that is still significant.
2010 tech report provided a very good window using 1 core sample
This same core bored through 3 different lenses providng a superb view of 3
different ore bodies downhole - resulting in -
Rhyolite silt upper strata = carbon value
Argillites - with a = carbon value
Rhyolite lower lense = carbon value
Which brings the subject to importance of carbon
Remember, orgainic carbon can produce graphene and there's been a recent breakthrough
that has found inorganic can also make graphne.
A hydrocarbon is an organic compound consisting of only hydrogen and carbon atoms.
They are group 14 hybrids, which means they contain hydrogen, as well as atoms of the
carbon 14 group; carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, and lead.
Lead is in that hydrocarbon category.
Which leads up to, the graphene article below.

carbon to graphene in just a spark....
"We have discovered a viable process to make graphene," Sorensen said. "Our process has many positive properties, from the economic feasibility, the possibility for large-scale production and the lack of nasty chemicals. What might be the best property of all is that the energy required to make a gram of graphene through our process is much less than other processes because all it takes is a single spark."

So... if the SPA Tech report ( Geo's ) describe the argillite ore as, graphitic, then yeah...
a derivitive of, lead would fit the bill - but... turned / transitioned to carbon.... more like it.
Carbon is what i think SPA has and i think its better than the lump lead graphite. wink.
Carbon - if the right purity - takes one on the road to greapgene.
.
Simply check the carbon puirty.
That simple.
Last post... on this subject... I promise... lol
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
As you can see.... this subject needed one more post...
I had distinguish between peers and between lead graphite vs carbon.
Perhaps same origin... but, totally different products.
Cheers...
