We differ on our cost thoughts. Grinding is done for free by the guys who are taking the marble. Flotation is basic and cheap, and because of the high flotation purity, NaOH treatment is minimal, and, perhaps best of all for CCB, starting with high purity flotation product allows for short, and therefore less expensive, thermal upgrading, making it a very viable option. Especially if it opens up the doors for all the high end graphite applications.


So you are saying grinding the marble/graphite aggregate to dust will be done by the the company taking the marble? They might extract and crush but grinding to dust is another step that renders the marble almost worthless. Do you know how much is marble dust worth and what are it's uses?

I'm sticking with my theory that the costs are going to exceed potential the revenues which will render the project uneconomical. We'll have more information if the company produces a RE/PEA and actually discusses the process and all of the costs involved for each step on the process. I'll believe it when we see it.
