Ann: Kasiya's Graphite Suitable for Expandable/Expanded Markets, page-6

I’m not savvy to graphite market conditions but looking at the project through a layman’s eyes it’s easy to see no-one could mine graphite and rutile for a lower cost once this goes to full scale. Shallow water jet mining through sand, no explosives, no rocks, using float and gravity separation, harmful/toxic chemicals? They plan to put the land straight into farming from mining by just back filling the sand and sprinkling down fertilizer. Using African labor costs is huge. Where in the world can labor costs compete with Africa? When I lived in Botswana most of the population survived on a dollar a day, and Botswana is one of the African success stories. I find it hard to imagine this won’t be profitable. When they do make a profit they will surely reward the community and government as it will take such little funding to make a huge impact on the local economy. I expect a township will pop up next to this mine and SVM will pay for schools and housing.
