"How many of you out there are wondering why none of the end users out there, and I'm talking for new technologies in particular Battery Market for EV's and Grid, are in a rush to lock in some of the supply if the demand "
It's one thing for modest off-takes to be agreed & announced publicly. KNL's TK & EGT are a case in point.
But not in interests of disruptive EV end users, i.e those that significantly increase world graphite demand, to lock in large scale supply prematurely.
Creating a monopoly risk situation or single dominant graphite supplier choking off competition must be a concern.
No secret upscale end users have been 'tickling' aussie juniors either directly or proxied through agents for many months: signing NDA's, testing samples etc. in effort to stimulate supply chain competition as much as possible.
This has given rise to 'race to finish line' mentality on hc for juniors.
But the guys 'holding the tape' want a dead heat of the competent few, not winner takes all. Canada/USA juniors also in the mix.
SYR's approach is build it and (hope) they will sign up for large scale tonnage.
MNS approach has flip-flopped from Chinese to European/USA/RoW off-takes with strong sp particularly important in mitigating @ $100Mill USD equity raising.
Current sp strength seems based on 'any day now' mantra re. large scale off-takes.
KNL's approach is build from low base and use cashflow for battery grade whilst an economic going concern with refactory.
(Sojitz is a modest 10K for EV market initially.)
As far as KNL goes, if Kfw/Nedbank finance comes through in next month or so, then we become a profitable going concern irrespective of battery EV market outcomes.
Exploiting a shift in world demand for battery anode quality flake whilst cash positive is a safe approach.
IMHO, even at this 'late' stage, large scale off-takes for battery grade spherical seem premature.
