The price

Graphite has no free price series — USGS publishes once a year and everything monthly is paywalled. What can be kept instead is the pipeline: which projects were announced, and which are actually producing.

A hand list, not a query: a company carries a beat and no material, so which names are actually exposed to graphite is a judgement. Every published miner and refiner is on companies.
