"These are truly outstanding results - effectively achieving battery grade purities of +99% and less than 0.05% ash under conditions that typically result in under 1% ash. For our future customers, this has the potential to significantly reduce reagent consumption and waste generation in the production of high-purity flake or targeted high-end applications.

This is yet further confirmation that Kasiya graphite concentrate is a premium graphite suitable for the anode, refractory, expandables and now also the high-purity powder metallurgy markets. We are delighted with the significant commercial optionality it brings to the Kasiya Rutile and Graphite Project."
