1. The CCB Miller hydrothermal lump vein Graphite is of high quality and can be concentrated to very high purity utilizing conventional, relatively inexpensive mineral processing methods without the use of harsh chemicals.
2. Christalinity tests showed that the CCB graphite is highly christaline and that CCB will be able to exfoliate graphite to graphene using a relatively simple process. The relatively simple, inexpensive mineral processing required to concentrate CCB Ore does not destroy or alter the crystal structure of the graphite.
3. Thermal treatment of CCB concentrate removed 90% of contaminents producing a purity of 99.998% which exceeds requirements for nuclear grade graphite.
4. Synthetic Graphite currently commands the highest price due to its superior properties and performance. Testing showed that CCB hydrothermal lump vein graphite met or exceeded many important properties of synthetic graphite including density, porosity and purity. High purity CCB graphite can be produced for far less cost than expensive, destructive processing of syntheticic graphite and would thus compete favourably with synthetic graphite for the high end markets.
