Graphite One Resources Inc. (TSXV:GPH, OTCQX:GPHOF) is pleased to provide this summary of the Company’s 2016 milestones in the development of its Graphite Creek Project near Nome, Alaska.
  • Raised over $2.8 million in new financing
  • 2016 Product Development Program’s results confirmed high performance, repeatability, and stability of the Company’s spherical graphite – all indicators of high-quality graphite for lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) batteries
  • Work continues to produce exploratory grade samples of coated, spherical graphite (“C-SPG”) for testing by potential end-users
  • Nearing completion of its inaugural Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for release in January 2017

2016 Milestones
During 2016, Graphite One completed four rounds of financing. Initially targeted for funds totaling a cumulative $2.4 million, two of the four financings were oversubscribed, raising a total of more than $2.8 million.
With proceeds from its financings, GPH conducted a comprehensive Product Development Program (the “Program”) under the management of TRU Group with the following results:

  • The test work produced purified graphite exceeding the threshold purity requirement of 99.95% Cg and averaged 99.98% Cg.
  • The Program produced premium-grade spherical graphite (“SPG”) from the purified graphite.
  • The best spheronization result – High Yield SPG – achieved almost 75% conversion of GPH STAX graphite to SPG in the size range suited for electric vehicle applications compared to typical industry yields of 30 to 40%.
