Good point G. So if we look at the economics of what that means we get an even clearer idea of why the Albany deposit is worth so much.

As an example lets use a protential producer of flake with about 50% large enough flake to be used economically for the production of battery grade rounded edge or potato flake.

That means starting with 1 ton of material only 500Kg are suitable after purificaiton which may also reduce the output (lets say 90% purification ratio)

Now we have 1000Kg x 90% x 50% (and then up to 70% is lost makeing the material needed for battery use) x 30% = 135Kg. The result is just over 10% of the starting material.

This effectively makes the Albany deposit almost 8-10 times as large as your typical flake deposit for use in battery production, because of the losses that flake producers have to sustain and likely the flake product will still be significanly inferior to the Albany material.
