"There's no bloody link between the ISO standard and the Nuclear Graphite price you seem to want to push"

Raider. i didn't say there's a link between the ISO standard and the Nuclear Graphite price.
However, there is a link between the quality management standard and the product produced in terms of company productivity, consistency of product quality and marketability. So while it may not affect the price it is certainly an advantage for the company to have the global certification when competing to sell into the graphite marketplace.
I've been reflecting on the feasibility study and my last chat with Chris Darby when he telling me that he was working out how to mine in a precise way so there is less dirt mixed in with the graphite, I see a reference to that process in the Feasibility Study. I think the target of the precise mining is the Arterial flake, almost pure graphite that needs hardly any processing so has a low cost of production with a very high purity product suitable for a range of high tech applications. A problem with Vein graphite is that the veins are not large enough to mine without processing a lot of dirt but Arterial graphite is superior from a processing point of view. Also note that the company is focussed on the processing side of the Arterial mineral, so putting that together I think that the Sri Lankan companies that monopolise vein graphite, but produce only 4000 tonnes a year are about to have a competitor.
