| Luisa Moreno: Graphite, Lithium and REEs Essential to Hot Technologies |
| The Mining Report: What are the key advantages of vein or lump graphite deposits over flake deposits?
Luisa Moreno: Two advantages of vein or lump graphite deposits would be the natural high-grade purity of the graphite in the ground, as well as the relatively low cost of production, most of which comes from Sri Lanka. Another important point is that it is usually sold at a premium price relative to natural flake graphite.
