Economy of scale is a maximisation equation from finance perspective, not engineering perspective. A more interesting question would be to ask yourself what is the minimum output that your other graphite company need to achieve, to break even, then to work out the cost of that plant, to work out your true 'fixed cost per tonne'.

"larger projects have a better economy of scale than the smaller mines", all other being equal ie built on the same resource. It can also be said that larger output projects have a higher inherent risk in construction and operating, all other being equal.

Whilst projects can be wildly different economically - measured not necessarily by the single NVP figure reached by a maximisation equation but return at various levels of investment.

Perhaps you should do an exercise to compare the plant design between WKT and the other graphite company on things like how many stages of grinding, required ore throughput to produce a given amount of concentrate etc to look for the reason in difference in EPC contract size/output.
