Hi Everybody

Dedicated lurker here but thought I'd chime in.

Talk of valuing ZEN wrt nuclear graphite is not in the cards, imho. The widespread commercialization of pebble bed reactor technology (PBR) is still many years away and any specific graphite will require long intense testing at a gov't. lab (up to 2 years I believe) to be certified. Here's the US lab,,, https://inlportal.inl.gov/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=1269&mode=2&featurestory=DA_528878

China is far away the lead proponent of PBR technology today and may indeed build a lot of PBR's someday but it will take a generation to do so. See http://nextbigfuture.com/2014/04/construction-progresses-on-chinas-high.html

There is, however, speculation that (ZEN or CCB's) hydrothermal graphite may play a significant role in accelerating the development of PBR's due to its excellent crystallinity and purity. For more on this, see Hoov's post of more than a year ago (His opinion stated here may have changed, so apologies to him, if it has),,, http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.aspx?msgid=29052455

I think whoever buys/develops ZEN's graphite deposit may benefit greatly by selling into the nuclear industry someday but that they won't bake much, if any, value into their offer for the potential to be a nuclear supplier - it's just too long a time horizon with too much development risk. But never say never, right?

Regardless,,, ZEN to twen!
