Graphite One on Target to Produce U.S.-Sourced Carbon-Coated Spherical Graphite

Graphite One Resources Inc. (TSXV:GPH,OTCQX:GPHOF) announce that it has commenced product development test work to produce carbon-coated spherical graphite from STAX graphite sourced from the Company’s Graphite Creek deposit near Nome, Alaska.
As quoted in the press release:

The test work is expected to provide preliminary information on the milling and spheroidizing yields of STAX graphite, assess non-chemical methods for graphite purification, generate electrochemical performance data of spherical graphite in coin cells tests and generate exploratory samples for potential end-users.
The Company is on schedule to produce the exploratory samples of spherical graphite early in the second quarter of 2016.

Graphite One Resources CEO, Anthony Huston, stated:

Production of carbon-coated spherical graphite will be a key step for us. As the green technology economy grows, driving continued adoption of electric vehicles and smart grid power storage devices, graphite will increasingly be a key material – a factor already present in rising demand projections.
With the United States presently 100% import-dependent for all of its graphite, reliable access to high-purity product will be a key factor in the United States’ ability to build sustainable industries in clean-tech and other high-tech applications. With America’s largest natural flake deposit, and the advanced processing capabilities we are now working towards validating, Graphite One is systematically developing critical components of a North American clean-energy supply chain.
