The fact that the Miller graphite deposit is hosted in marble should also be a benefit when it comes to processing costs. I spoke with a few representatives from graphite companies at PDAC. The companies with lower processing costs pointed to the softness of their ore as being the major contributing factor.

On an absolute basis, quartz, feldspar and granite are at least several times harder than marble.

This probably also helps to explain why the Miller graphite can be purified to above 99% Cg from flotation alone.

SN, lofty price targets will require a slew of excellent news. However, CCB's initial production decision will be based on just 3,000 tonnes of graphite per year. A selling price of $10,000 per tonne would probably support a stock price in the $1 - $1.50 range.

Metallurgy is great, CCB needs to prove up tonnage. Patience is required.

from one poster who just joined you think there is internal dissent....come on.

That is a complete mischaracterization of my post. I indicated that the content of goat's two posts were consitent with each other. I made no judgement on the content itself and that is abundantly clear from any unbiased reading of my post.

Seems like you have changed the content of your post entirely.

I disagree with this characterizaion. Here are the relevant quotes from the two posts.

Initial Post - Not from Aubrey - but it would appear that there is internal dissent over the lack of PR support for the stock price. I presented a comparison of how CCB had handled this versus ZEN.

Follow Up - In discussing the relative geological value of the Albany deposit CCB came into the conversation and I pointed out how CCB had handled their good news announcements from a PR standpoint and the impact this had on their stock price versus ZEN's less than ideal approach to this aspect. This is what prompted the comment that there was a difference of opinion in the handling of this.

IMO, the first post is an excellent synopsis of the details presented in the follow up.

it would appear that there is internal dissent VS

there was a difference of opinion

What's the difference? - pretty much the same thing. I give the Goat two thumbs up for consistency.

How about some details on any perceived "internal dissent"?

And what comparison - "presented" is past tense and this is your first post.

Were you at PDAC yesterday, who did you speak with?

I am clearly not getting something.

Are you saying that ZEN ran a Pilot Plant Flotation test after September 2nd?

I contend that the 92.5% flotation recovery was achieved in a bench scale test(i.e. laboratory or experimental scale), sometime between September 2nd and December 16th.

Just because one Pilot Plant test is run in the summer does not autmatically mean that all future testing is carried out at Pilot Plant scale. Pilot Plant refers to the scale of testing, not the phase of testing.
