To provide further clarification regarding flake size - ddzx comments re flake size are correct to a point however there is more to consider here as usually the better the flake size in Jumbo and SUPER JUMBO CATEGORY the higher the purity levels are and reason why some dont necessarily require chemicals to increase purity - We will be using part chemical part natural extraction and also the higher the flake size the better price you get on market - so flake size is important !!
Although resource tonnes and graphitic carbon content (grade) are key metrics in assessing projects, the evaluation of graphite projects is more complex. Out of the numerous considerations, key attributes (in addition to size of deposit and grade) are product flake
size distribution and purity. Graphite purity is particularly important for the higher value end uses like lithium-ion batteries and is a key determinant in saleability of the product. It is also a key factor in the cost of production because if further processing is required to make the product saleable this could dramatically increase the operating cost.
Graphite flake size distribution is one of the more debated project factors; however a number of facts about flake size are true; firstly, the larger the flake (in a given deposit) the higher the purity of the graphite product is likely to be and secondly, the larger the flake size the higher the price (see Table 1).
This point was illustrated recently by the chief executive of a graphite mill, when asked about the ideal project to source graphite from. His reply was: “A graphite mine that would produce at a 94-96% purity level. It would have as much medium (plus-80 mesh) and large flake (plus-50 mesh) as possible.
The lower the percentage of fine flake (mi-nus-80 mesh), the better, since it is the most abundant material in the market and thus has the lowest selling price....”
