respectfully acknowledges the Staff&rsquo;s comment. As an initial point, while the Company views the Coosa Graphite Deposit and underlying
resources as important to its future business development, it is not currently material to the operations or financial performance of
the Company. With respect to the Staff&rsquo;s comment, the Company notes that the disclosure in the 2023 Form&nbsp;10-K identifies the
Initial Assessment as being a &ldquo;preliminary technical and economic study&rdquo; (<I>see</I> page&nbsp;3 of the 2023 Form&nbsp;10-K)
and explains that the &ldquo;level of geological uncertainty associated with an inferred mineral resource is too high to apply relevant
technical and economic factors likely to influence the prospects of economic extraction in a manner useful for evaluation of economic
viability. Because an inferred mineral resource has the lowest level of geological confidence of all mineral resources, which prevents
the application of the modifying factors in a manner useful for evaluation of economic viability, an inferred mineral resource may not
be considered when assessing the economic viability of a mining project and may not be converted to a probable mineral reserve&rdquo;
(<I>see</I> page&nbsp;4 of the 2023 Form&nbsp;10-K). With respect to the table that discloses indicated and inferred mineral resources
as of December&nbsp;31, 2023 (<I>see</I> page&nbsp;37 of the 2023 Form&nbsp;10-K), as shown below, the Company states both in the introductory
paragraph and in the footnotes to the table that, &ldquo;Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic
viability.&rdquo; Further, the header to the table disclosing the preliminary economic analysis (see page&nbsp;37 of the 2023 Form&nbsp;10-K)
clearly indicates that it is a &ldquo;preliminary economic analysis.&rdquo; The Company proposes to expand the existing disclosure under
the heading &ldquo;Mineral Resources&rdquo; in Part&nbsp;I,&nbsp;Item 12 of Form&nbsp;10-K in subsequent annual filings as follows (additions

26.0 million short tons (Mst) at an average grade of 2.89% Cg for a total of 754,000 short tons (st) Cg. Inferred Mineral Resources are

are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. However, considerations of reasonable prospects for economic
