I think your missing the point lowsignal

1) Lets say for the sake of arguement that the deposit is worth $12 billion at $8500 per ton, that does not make ZEN shares worth $12billion/60 million = $200 each. Someone still have to mine, process, market and make a profit on that graphite in order to make it worth anything. So all these factors have to be taken into account. On a buyout I think 10% of the deposit value would be fantastic. At the moment 10% of 12 billion = 2 billion/60million shares = $20

2) Interest from a company like Tesla or a battery maker would be excellent, since normally a junior miner would only be taken over by a senior miner, so alraedy this is expanding the market of potential buyers for ZEN which creates competition and is a good thing.

3) Lastly all of this is hypotetical, but worth discussing, not a good idea to constrain thinking, the best ideas come from brainstorming. Keep rocking folks good ideas are always worth discussing.
