Northen Graphite has its BFS and most of its permits and they still can't get financing to start their mine. Personally I hope Zen stays away from the EV market and concentrates on the others. Tesla will beat you down on pricing. They are the Wal Mart of EV's. Just my opinion.
Which is why Aubrey stated that IF they did a financing it would be 'strategic' which to me means funding to production. If this occurred you could skip the BFS.
Damn, I'd kill to be working in that office about now...need Walter White to pay a visit there like he did his brother-in-laws office..lol
