International Graphite Fast-tracks Mine-to-Market Game Plan
July 17, 2023
Metallurgical test work is underway as the company eyes the completion of a feasibility study by mid-next year
International Graphite (ASX:IG6) aims to be Australia’s first mine-to-market producer of battery anode graphite as it rapidly advances with the technical assessments for its proposed open-cut mine at its Springdale Graphite project, according to an article published in The West Australian.
The company confirms that more than 1.5 tonnes of sample material are currently undergoing laboratory testing at ALS Metallurgy’s pilot concentrate production facilities in Perth, Western Australia.
“We are working to establish Springdale as a long-term, stable and consistent supplier of high-quality graphite concentrates for [battery anode material] processing. It is at the core of our vision for a ‘mine-to-market’ graphite supply chain in Western Australia that will meet the needs of high-growth energy markets,” said International Graphite director and chief technical officer David Pass.
International Graphite also expects final assays from the Springdale 2022 / 2023 drilling campaign to be completed by the end of July 2023 with a revised mineral resource estimate for Springdale to follow, the article said.

WA Government Awards $6.5 Million to Australia’s First Downstream Graphite Plant

The grant was announced by WA Premier the Hon. Roger Cook at the Company’s Collie R&D Facility during the Collie Industry Transition Expo on Saturday 20 April 2024.

- Altech continues to move forward with finance and offtake for CERENERGY® project
The SPP follows the excellent Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the CERENERGY® project which was finalised on 20 March 2024, that included an NPV(9) of €169 million and free cash flow of €48 million p.a. Following on from the DFS, Altech continues to move forward with obtaining the finance to construct the plant for the CERENERGY® battery project, envisaged to be constructed on Altech’s land in Germany.
CEO Iggy Tan stated"The results of the Definitive Feasibility Study reinforce the economic soundness and potential of our CERENERGY® project. We are excited about the positive trajectory and are fully committed to advancing to the funding phase to realise this innovative venture."
The project's economics remain compelling, with an EBITDA margin of around 47%, even at its initial production capacity. This aligns with the projected growth of the grid storage market, estimated at a remarkable 28% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). Additionally, the project offers a low lifetime levelised cost of storage at €0.06/kWh, compared to €0.149/kWh for lithium-ion batteries, further enhancing its competitive advantage.”

Altech encourages you to participate in this SPP and to continue the exciting journey that Altech is embarking on with its uniquely patented battery technology and battery materials.
Altech is targeting the grid storage market, which is an industry that is expected to have a compound annual growth rate of 28%, as the world transitions from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable energy economy. Massive scale up and growth of both renewable energy production, combined with grid battery storage, is required to meet the green targets implemented by governments and industry around the world. Altech believes that the grid storage market is a very lucrative niche and is racing to get the CERENERGY® battery into production.
The shares issued pursuant to the SPP will be at an issue price of $0.065 per share with one free attaching option for every two shares acquired. The options will be exercisable at $0.08 per share and will expire on 30 April 2026.
