I quote:
100% - Zen will be a big player, extremely competitive, once it starts producing for graphite markets because:
- It is the best - unique. (No the graphite is not unique, it is run of the mill lump, but because its lump it is better than Flake)
- Is is cheap to process - if I recall right the cost per tonne was listed as $2,800 in the PEA - which is dirt cheap compared to synthetics and other natural graphite deposits. (No its not, even though they have dropped open pit ,I said they would 7 years ago, they have proposed with no concept of pricing, a mine with no idea how much it will cost to keep the mine dewatered. The ground is pervious and is literally a slew. So a Diavik "frozen ground" approach will have to be taken. Lastly open pit mining cost per tonne, cannot be paralled to cost for mine access per tonne.
- It is green.. (No its not, you will be processing with the most NON-Green Acids that you used to call "Earth Destroying, before you decided to do the same. Remember I mentioned you would never be green and would have to dump the Green BS?
- It has FN support. (It has always had FN support, but FN support does not mean that when you actually produce a FS that they still support it, especially when you are now killing planet earth)
- It is relatively easy to get from source to production and markets, by road (initial outlay will require a relatively short all season road) and rail. ("Relativity is not a constant)
- It will have a booming and transforming Canadian and North American market; (Disagree, it will be another mine, if they get that far, personally I have never seen this be a mine)
- Canada is a friendly democratic country that plays by the rules and offers trust and certainty re trade and business.
No other graphite company ticks all these boxes - not even close.
Actually, there is one company CCB, that ticks all the boxes. We are Green, we can process through Heat, which of course you insist is anti-green till you needed to use it. We are small, we have a small footprint, we are at surface and we have the purest graphite in the world and will support Planet Saving. |
