beigledog, DNI - I hear you and we all know this is not Barrick Gold. This is a speculation on a small fast moving company with what I think has excellent vision, management and an undervalued MC. Stay with me and let me lay this out! You'll at least find it very interesting. Science included.

This is positively not a bs'ing company looking to pay salaries and print shares. Dan Weir was on the other end putting financing deals together for mining companies for 25years, he has also lived in Brazil where the largest current graphite producer comes from (saprolite Ill add) He has an all star cast surrounding him, Kieth Minty, John Carter built 3 graphite plants, forget it, I just copied and pasted the all star cast below. Ask yourself why would an all star cast of this caliber line up with DNI? Bob Moriarty, one of the sharpest in the business for common sense IMO, almost fell off his chair when he processed DNI. Why is Bob M so geeked? I might of had something to do with that :) IMO to pic a stock thats primed for a big move, you have to see something everyone else doesn't, you might have to wait, but you have to be right. Sometimes it clear as day, but mud to everyone else. DNI at a MC of $2.5 is a freakin steal!

Beigledog, Its easily possible an acquisition could improve their odds of developing their graphite mine and than some, here's how. It was hard for me to say much before, but I'm cleared to say this now. DNI is working on acquiring a couple near vicinity strategic properties and working with a couple strategic partners to put this all together. This would make them an area play in one of the lowest cost, highest grade graphite/quality resource areas anywhere, and also set them up with the lowest CAPEX and lowest OPEX in the space. Realize also, they might need a certain scale to land a certain size off take they are looking for or need an economy of scale for processing. You or anyone will do well to call Dan Weir for details. He offered his cell 416-720-0754

Realize also, that hard rock Canadian graphite companies, which is all of them, will never get to production due to high OPEX/CAPEX setups and that there is 10 times more graphite in any energy holding device-battery than Lithium. Clean energy and electric cars will all need graphite saturated batteries. Currently electric car batteries use synthetic graphite. Its also a fact that natural graphite when processed correctly, is much cleaner, costs less and is cleaner than synthetic. See below with link Think about the lab you sometimes here me talk about when you read the following
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/bu_309_graphite

In 2015, the media predicted heavy demand for graphite to satisfy the growth of Li-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. Speculation arose that graphite could be in short supply because a large EV battery requires about 25kg (55 lb) of graphite for the Li-ion anode. Although price and consumption has been lackluster, there are indications that the demand is tightening. Manufacturers preferred synthetic graphite because of its superior consistency and purity to natural graphite. This is changing and with modern chemical purification processes and thermal treatment, natural graphite achieves a purity of 99.9 percent compared to 99.0 percent for the synthetic equivalent.

Purified natural flake graphite has a higher crystalline structure and offers better electrical and thermal conductivity than synthetic material. Switching to natural graphite will lower production cost with same or better Li-ion performance. Synthetic graphite for Li-ion sells for around US $10,000 per ton whereas spherical graphite made from natural flake sells for US $7,000 (2015 prices).

Unprocessed natural graphite is much cheaper, and besides cost, natural graphite is more environmentally friendly than synthetic graphite; it also forms the base for graphene, a scientist’s dream
