Graphite One Resources Inc. (TSXV:GPH,OTCQX:GPHOF) announced that it has completed the first three phases of its five phase exploratory Product Development Program to produce carbon-coated spherical graphite, achieving a minimum purity level of 99.98+% Cg in three samples totaling 3,000g.

Graphite One Resources Inc. (TSXV:GPH,OTCQX:GPHOF) announced that it has completed the first three phases of its five phase exploratory Product Development Program to produce carbon-coated spherical graphite, achieving a minimum purity level of 99.98+% Cg in three samples totaling 3,000g. The graphite purity from all runs exceeds the threshold requirement of 99.95% Cg for preparing spherical graphite and was assessed by assaying for both impurity and graphite content.
As quoted in the press release:

The test work used STAX graphite – the acronym for graphite that is Spheroidal, Thin, Aggregate and eXpanded — sourced from the Company’s Graphite Creek deposit near Nome, Alaska.

  • Product Development Test Work Confirms Anticipated Purity Levels for STAX graphite
  • Spheroidization, Coating and Coin Cell Production Remain on Track

The Graphite Creek exploratory Product Development Program is segmented into 5 phases, and is focused on generating preliminary materials performance data related to graphite concentrate purification, milling, spheroidizing, and coating as well as establishing the electrochemistry of the coated spherical graphite finished product. Sample material is being produced with the goal of providing it for potential end-user evaluation. Spherical graphite is used mainly in lithium-ion batteries, the main demand-driver being electrical and hybrid vehicles.

Graphite One Resources, CEO, Anthony Huston, stated:

From the time we identified the unique mineralization of our STAX graphite, we’ve observed a number of potential performance advantages. Now, with the first three phases of our product development program complete, we have been able to validate the assumptions we made in terms of the purity we could achieve. We look forward to the results of the remaining phases.
