Well Fluffy I would ask how many million dollars worth of research did we get out of those free in kind samples?  You are not going to sell the mine output if the material hasn't been tested. I understand we are not going to get all the results back as many recipients will keep their results under wraps, but the important thing is that the people who are going to make the decisions about buying in will have the information on the Zenyatta material.  Yes maybe the board and advisory council are a little heavey on geologists, but you kind of expect that with a mining company. That said I see an MBA,  an accountant, a lawyer, a chemical engineer, other mining executives and some experts in the carbon industry.  I don't have a problem with the mix. 

I really don't see that a businessman or woman for that matter (it is International Women's Day) is going to help a lot.  Right now the graphene ball is in the court of the researchers and development engineers.  No corporation is going to buy until they say it works.  A business person may be usefull taking customers out to lunch and a game of golf to sell some known fugible product like trucking services, or even a gold deposit, but right now I believe we need folks who can communicate with the technical people in the various institutions and corporations we are dealing with.  It looks to me that the present team has the right credentials. 

My thoughts,
