Saint Jean Carbon (TSXV:SJL) announced that graphite from the Walker property is classified as “High purity, fine grained graphite”, according to tests conducted by EAG.
As quoted in the press release:
Summary Results
1) The morphology, crystallinity, and structural makeup very closely resemble the best Sri Lankan vein
graphite. Therefore its field of applicability is as broad as it is for any other kind of high purity vein graphites.
2) The constituent analysis confirmed that the Walker Graphite is as suitable as flake graphite in a wide variety of side by side product applications. This includes all major market segments such as
steelmaking, auto parts, paints, and industrial products such as gaskets, but also in much smaller
specialized segments such as a neutron moderator in nuclear reactors.
3) The crystallite structure shows a hexagonal and rhombohedral graphene layer structure that is
consistent with good quality graphite.
4) According to the Raman spectra results the ID/IG ratio of ~0.1 confirms that by published industry
standards the Walker graphite is classified as “High purity, fine grained graphite”.
