Again you speak from no knowledge. The reason that natural vein was never proposed as a synthetic replacement was because the only deposit that existed was Sri Lanka and they could not guarantee consistency in their graphite. Sri Lanka can produce 95% as easily as 99.99%
ZEN is the first deposit of vein (some question that but I will not) of size. Therefore it has an opportunity due to its size of competing in the synthetic arena. So far we have seen ZEN samples range from 99% to 99.99% which appears to be fine for competing in the synthetic arena.
However, to assume that those numbers in a petri dish are going to be the same numbers in production is a very very very large risk at this point.

Ballard is working with something that even ZEN states is NOT a significant size sample. So for you to assume you have Ballard endorsement at Production throughput purity is naive' and is a lie. Just as if I assumed without a doubt CCB has 100K tons of Graphite that would be a lie. So I speculate 100K tons at .53% or higher grade, but I caveat that with "but we have no resource". Thats the "risk caveat". Show me one person on this board that includes the ZEN risk caveat? PLEASE?
