Hexagon Resources (Hexagon or the Company) is pleased to report positive results from preliminary test work aimed at assessing the quality and amenability of the Company’s flake graphite concentrate for use in lithium ion batteries.
The concentrate material was sourced from Hexagon’s 100% owned McIntosh Flake Graphite Project located in northern Western Australia. The Company is delighted that these results, supported by previous assay data confirming low impurities, demonstrates that the McIntosh flake concentrate appears well suited for lithium-ion batteries.
This information will be critical for future discussions with partners, customers and potential off-take parties. It will also provide a focus for optimisation and verification test work which can now be undertaken to enhance the material properties further.
Battery Anode Preliminary Test Work Results

A summary of first pass McIntosh spheroidised material results compared to a “typical” battery feed specification (including JC/T 2315-2016 from China) is presented in Table 1. The McIntosh graphite flake concentrate test results fulfil all early parameters for the battery industry.
These results have been achieved without optimisation or having undergone any further purification or modification processes (compared to the reference specifications).
