When comparing one graphite deposit to another it is important to look at multiple factors:
- The Grade
- The size, and potential size of the deposit.
- Flake size distribution.
- The host rock - Hard rock verses Weathered rock (Saprolite).
- Metallurgy.
- Infrastructure.
- Historical mining, or current mining in the area.
- People involved in the project.
- DNI has assembled a strong knowledgeable graphite development team who have built four graphite processing plants and operated two graphite mines.
- The team chose this part of Madagascar because it has the potential to host graphite projects which could be developed into producing mines.
- Graphite has been produced in the area for over 100 years with some of the historical production occurring on DNI’s properties.
