The company's business model is based on vertical integration with Maniry as its cornerstone asset. The master stroke could well turn out to be getting into at least one downstream operation first, the way they have with our Panthera JV. Getting score on the board within the industry (ahead of our mining operation), could present the company with an easier path into the upstream business - the proof of concept, execution and sales have to make some sort of impression. Besides, we all know how long and arduous the mission is to become a miner and producer of graphite concentrate. Cranium is absolutely justified in praising the EVG team (past and present). The EG plant in India is quite a feat thanks to all those involved. The market might catch on by recognising the potential and possible upside here. I'm not about to use the word "hope" in context of the SM... that will just put the mockers on things!
