Ann: Strong Results for Tanzanian Mineral Sands P, page-29

re: Ann: Strong Results for Tanzanian Mineral... Tobyjack knows full well that the graphite will be concentrated on site, but tries to muddy the water by pretending otherwise.

That's a misleading statement Prime1 – It was cdchiI who stated SYR intends to be a “miner” only, which suggests they dig it up and ship it out.

-----------------------------------------------------------
because a few kilograms can command a high price, therefore the entire production from a mine will be sold at the same high price. In those famous words, you can tell them they're dreaming.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The discussion was on prices for Ultra Pure High Grade graphite vs Large Flake. As usual Prime1, you read it differently. No one has suggested company X’s entire production (which I understand they say will be across all grades – similar to SYR) will be in the price range of $2,500 - $5,000. Similarly SYR cannot claim it’s entire resource will fetch X price based on a few kilograms of samples it has released. Both companies need to “replicate these results consistently”.

The company X in question has stated……. “Tech Minerals Consulting Group further advised that “...if X is capable of replicating these results consistently, then "the company will have a unique product in the natural graphite space". In assessing the potential markets for this graphite Tech Minerals Consulting Group stated that "such a product, properly introduced, is likely to be highly sought after by specialist manufacturers and end-users to include battery, polymers, ceramics, and high tech lubricants"…so there’s nothing misleading nor pipe dreaming in that statement.

As a further comparison, Tech Minerals Consulting recently came up with a price for SER - "The average graphite price over the full range of products to be produced is expected to be A$1,337"

SER's product is, according to report...........

Premium large flake: -40 +60 mesh 16.05%
Premium large flake: -60 +80 mesh 22.7%
Large graphite flake: -80 + 150 mesh 14.7%
Fine graphite flake: -150 + 300 mesh 46.50%

Over half of SER's product is Premium/Large Flake. My point, therefore was/is ULTRA PURITY graphite 99%+ commands more than PREMIUM/LARGE FLAKE. It's no more complicated than that, unless you want to make it so.
