Italy and Brazil? While you guys dicker over who has the best marble in the world, CCB seems to have just signed a contract for almost $14 million for secondary product. Huh. I guess the buyers didn't care.

Even the headstone designers find them architecturally unappealing,inferior in all respect in terms of quality and durability.

Ruddy, regarding Marble. There are two serious marble suppliers. 1. Italy. 2. Brazil. Canadian Marble does not cut it for commercial uses. There are perhaps 2 mines in the USA which supply commercial marble but even those plants do not measure up to Italian or Brazilian product. There is no marble contract for commercial grade marble coming from the Marble Corp. At best it is a crushed product which there is no shortage off. In other words it is not Marbelous for the Marble Corp.

Thanks for sharing that info BNS. I suspected long ago that the Miller property doesn't have enough of any resources including Graphite and Marble to make a profitable operation there and nothing the company has released has changed my original conclusion.

The entire "marble scenario" is almost comical. The purist nuclear graphite deposit on the planet has to rely on marble as a source of revenues because the company cannot prove-up enough graphite to operate a profitable mine without marble subsidies. At this point I don't believe marble will be able to contribute sufficient profit to make the whole operation profitable. The lack of drill results, the unidentified marble buyer, the constant pumping by Chief with his own unofficial processing and profit calculations, the persistent coordinated ZEN bashing by a group of CCB supporters, a CEO who posts on public forums and threatens retail investors with lawsuits, the Governance issues all raise red flags with respect to CCB as an investment.

CCB might eventually become a roaring success but the odds are not favourable in my opinion.
