Busy drilling holes and starting very early discussions with potential off-take partners would be my guess.
The off-take partners will want to see more before doing a deal but typically the get to know each other stage is now. The Japanese and South Koreans work on respect and long term relationships. Being in the Critical Minerals Prospectus will also help.. Nice to have a government department doing free work for you. Having someone like Ryan Smith on the board has assisted in this process I am sure
Drill results due in April apparently.
Graphite testing takes longer than other minerals..
Setting fire to every 0.5m sample and measuring the heat output takes time!
