Ann: Graphite Concentrate Produced in Africa, page-46

I'm lead to believe that CEO Trevor Matthews is currently in Tanzania meeting with some VIP's . IMO one meeting would have to be with the minister for Energy and Minerals and this indicates how proactive and serious management are about fast tracking this project into production . Vrc's major shareholder is Kambunga holdings who is Tanzanian and I dare say he would have connections in the right places over there.
On another note it will be very interesting to see what Mns dish up and if it is a sizeable Western offtake incorporating financing then Vrc could run purely on the nearology factor. Either way imo Vrc is not as far away as some may think from a western offtake and reading between the lines yesterday's announcement adds to my optimism. Trevor will also be commencing roadshows soon which is bound to generate interest !
