When Syrah Resources put out their resource estimate on their African deposits (over 1 billion tonnes contained graphite), they more than doubled the world resource for graphite, all by themselves, based on USGS numbers. There is no shortage of flake graphite. Just as an aside, because that's what it is right now, graphene technologies need to reduce their costs by a factor of at least a million, before they can compete with existing technologies on cost. This is just my opinion, based on my knowledge of the cost of these lab curiosities that seem to gather so much media attention. It is true that we can do some things, but the cost is prohibitive, so far. Maybe we get out of the lab, maybe we don't. Predicting the future is not my strong suit, as my crystal ball needs new batteries, and they haven't been invented yet. Lar
