Elcora is an interesting company. The mine lump graphite from Sri Lanka which is fundamentally different from flake graphite everywhere else. It has far fewer impurities because how it forms and occurs in very large flakes. The only downside is that the mines are very small and it is hard to scale up production on that type of deposit.

I've heard where they also have some properties in Canada but don't know anything about them. More than likely they are flake graphite deposits which are similar to all the other North American deposits. The only exception to that is Zenyatta's Albany graphite deposit. Zenyatta was a market darling a few years ago when it got hyped beyond any reasonable price. While the graphite they have is different from other deposits, they were putting a dollar value on it that was delusionally optimistic.

The fact that Elcora is working with Coulormetrics is a plus. Those guys are doing some interesting things regarding graphite technology. I'm less impressed with the graphene angle. There is a lot of research into low-cost graphene production and it's just a matter of time before somebody figures it out (you are just breaking Van Der Waal bonds). A very small amount of graphite can produce a huge amount of graphene. The big emerging growth for graphite is still in batteries and maybe desalinization.
