The mine signature possesses mesh size fractions from high levels of fines, and limited medium and coarse and to achieve the purity targets of 95% + LOI based on the SYR's ore body will require higher levels of grinding. You cannot make flake size larger, but you can sure make is smaller. You commit on increasing coarse flake yield at the expense of fines, may work for purity target range of 80% to 85% LOI for this particular ore body, as there is reduced attrition and grinding. Recoveries are increased as retention time is reduced. There may be small increase in coarse flake yield by reduced grinding, yet the mesh size fraction yields across the entire ore body will remain consistent with a high percentage of fines and lower percentages of medium and coarse flake.

Thx cartex. My knowledge of the graphite industry is limited but I was buoyed by the chart below (from the presentation pack). SYR are obviously learning as they go to get their operational costs down, but there seems to be clear demand from it's existing and potential customers.
