So if Tetra Tech releases a PEA that points to going forward with a profitable mine, will that be proof enough? Because while you call them vague news releases, they have provided verified facts about the CCB graphite that cannot be disputed. The purity, GDMS numbers, end-user validation of the graphite being applicable for one company's high-end electronics usage, and a signed contract for the marble, with interest in more.
It has, for the last while anyway, been all about the resource being there to justify extraction. It won't take much to be profitable, due to low costs (presumably) and high prices for the graphite (hopefully). So, we wait. And having people complaining about not having the PEA/43-101 released yet both does not help the situation any, and is totally unreasonable to expect. CCB is doing resource calcs for both graphite and marble, plus a PEA for a very hard-to-define vein system, and is likely to complete them faster than ZEN did just a PEA for one well-defined resource. So for now CCB has to grin and bear it when critics say they have no resource, but it appears that in fairly short order that situation will be rectified, one way or the other |
