Just noticed something between the last releases of ZENa nd CCB.

Here is a statement from CCB:

Work is proceeding to scale up the thermal upgrading procedure, in order to make available larger samples of highly purified graphite that have not been exposed to harsh chemicals (caustic/acid) that can both damage the graphite structure and introduce other impurities. Commercial graphite thermal upgrading typically employs treatment processes using a combination of high temperatures, long residence times and/or corrosive gases such as chlorine. In contrast, Canada Carbon's process involves rapid thermal treatment in an inert gas atmosphere.

Note the specific characterization of Caustic as a harsh chemical, the process used by ZEN.

From the ZEN release:

The Albany deposit can be upgraded with very good crystallinity without the use of aggressive acids and high-temperature thermal treatment, therefore having an environmental advantage over other types of upgraded high-purity graphite material

Note the reference to thermal treatment which CCB is proposing to use.

Kind of found that interesting, could be my imagination but each compnay looks to be taking a swing at the other trying to reach the top of the high purity low cost ladder..lol

BTW, I am not putting down CCB is any way, they have a nice looking product at this point. I own some shares in them as well. But on TCC the bias that used to be present with ZEN is now present with CCB. The ZEN release is nit-picked but the CCB release is given the big thumbs up. The CCB crowd was trumpeting the nuclear grade sections of the release including the long winded 'how much work it will be to send out this samples internationally'. But is it not trrue that ZEN, with less equivalent boron in ppm has already sent out 20+ samples without the fanfare or hoople noted in the CCB release? Again, I am not bashing. Each Company has it's own agenda. CCB has to raise funds soon so they really have to stand up on the table and shout. ZEN on the other hand had the financial resources, thanks to the warrants last year to play the close to the vest scenario. Had ZEN needed to finance I don't believe Aubrey could have played it out this way.

For those of you that are fairly new at the junior stocks (I won't say 'just learning' becuase we are all learning), these stocks will be very good to look at once the play out - to see the fear, greed, skeptisism, market reation to news, etc. - this is typical of a stock with good blue sky potential. Most of course end up with no blue sky but the lessons from the ebb and flo of the stock price and investor emotions is invaluable.
