RE: No mention of graphite?5 Jul 2018 10:39
IMHO the black sands at Thule will be the quickest and easiest to scope and exploit - basically identify the surface target with highest yields and maximum loose sands available, scoop it up, and put it on a ship (and/or do some simple initial local processing).....all that is needed are some diggers, a wharf, a crane on the wharf, a ship or two shuttling back and forwards.......
The other aspect required is a deal with someone to buy the material and for that there needs to be some yield/quality guarantees.
The graphite will take longer to define the mining area and to access.
