Hi, Grade is only part of the equation, what is even MORE improtant is flake size distribution. For Madagascar graphite deposits it is only 4% - 7% average grade, however large flakes make 90% of the deposit before beneficiation (in-situ). After beneficiation 70% of large flakes (+80mesh) could be recovered. Large flakes have a market premium and are the rarest in nature. 35mesh+ are the rarest and to the best of my knowledge only recoverable at commercial high quantities in Madagascar. Bass Metals owns an already producing graphite mine in madagascar. they are in final phase of refurbishment, recommissioning/ramp up of produciton very soon (over the coming weeks). They will also release first drilling results from another graphite deposit near the deep sea port in madagascar. A great opportunity to get in early. Good luck to all.
