Montreal, Quebec, September 07, 2017 – SRG Graphite Inc. (TSXV: SRG) (“SRG” or the “Company”) today announced results from battery grade characterization tests with Dorfner ANZAPLAN Co. in Germany (“ANZAPLAN”) for graphite concentrate from the Company’s 100%-owned Lola Graphite deposit in the Republic of Guinea, West Africa. ANZAPLAN reported that bulk density, tap density, morphology, chemical purity and specific surface area of the spherical graphite product obtained from SRG’s Lola Graphite deposit are similar to typical spherical graphite products in the market. ANZAPLAN confirmed that the Lola Graphite concentrate is well suited for producing the anode material used to manufacture lithium-ion batteries. Results from the Lola Graphite tests indicate a spherical graphite production yield of 46% compared to typical yields of 30% to 40%.
Laboratory work and analysis on the Lola Graphite concentrate are aimed at identifying the optimal procedure for shaping and purification in order to obtain high-purity spherical graphite, suitable for use in lithium-ion battery and technology grade graphite applications. The current results provide favorable comparisons between the Lola graphite concentrate and other commercial products currently available in the marketplace.
