In a word, no. Sri Lanka has been exploited for graphite for over 150 years, mostly using manual labour. If you think that they haven't already exploited the higher grades and most easily accessible deposits, then maybe you'll see this as a big opportunity. Bora Bora might have a play, but it all comes down to that critical variable, purity. We'll see.

I agree with you re: the purity level of the graphite itself for ZEN. It should clearly make this distinction to separate them from the other wannabes. Instead of being all things graphite.

Lar mentioned that there will be so much graphite available in the future. That li-ion batteries and graphene demand will probably be properly supplied. I will take it one step further in that with new advances in battery technology and graphene that increased demand should naturally occur as with all new tech. Especially in the graphene field where this will be the driver of a new industrial revolution.
