Every week further down the road gets more exciting...I'm into Cheshire cat territory!
The broad economics are known already, by that I mean its not going to get worse figures overall.
I think its more a question of the refined graphite to application demand, of which is waiting on bulk sample inhouse testing by multiple suitors; and then of course locking up the resource. If someone can lock up Albany Graphite they can reduce their own costs by sales to other industrial purposes.
I've been looking for an analogy to Zen right now. How's this for a stab at it for examples?
I guess FCU (uranium) is busy proving up resource amount to jack up the selling price.
Zen is more like a gold junior who accidentally found a large elephant sized reservoir of petrol (gaseoline) that needs no more refining than running it through a pair of of old tights to take the dirt off, compared to a world of only heavy oil sands crude running solely diesel engines whom havent quite worked out petrol engines yet.
I hope that makes translation - havent even had a beer yet!
