A Natcional De Grafite

Visited one of the worlds largest graphite mines today.
The company has 3 mines in Brazil and the one in Itapercia is the smallest but believe me is still huge.

Learned si much today including:
The uses of graphite
How it is mined and refined
The testing snd research carried out and its purposes
How and where it is sold
How mining damages the countryside and what is done to protect and regenerate the areas
The strong strength of social responsibility the company has abdxtge hard work they do to achieve their aims in this area whilst they run their industry for profit making.

The infirmation I give you is the tip of the  iceberg with this one. If you want to know more I can provide you with all sorts so just let me know.
