Completely agree with the long term focus, but you may as well continue with the met work until you have a definitive picture on the Kaolin/REE. Sounds like there is a good Kaolin resource there, there is plenty of REE's at good grade it's whether you can separate. Obviously there are doubts but you may as well continue with mets until that is definitive. We are within a month or two of knowing that and I wouldn't expect huge cost, and you still have all of the activity happening with the graphite.

If you do prove it maybe you can sell the project to fund the graphite, or bring in a party who can take on all the capex and retain free carry.

I do agree though if the met works say it's prohibitive cost to separate REE's, and a Kaolin only project we should put all focus into graphite. Maybe the graphite drilling/met testing will tell you that anyway.
