Well done to all who have held since the IPO who understood what this company is trying to do. It's only getting started but this RNS today is company defining in my opinion, and a credit to all the hard work the TGR has put in over the years - graphite is a wonder material, as is graphene (more so from a scientific view ofc) and the company is producing, innovating, and already expanding capacity.
However, today confirms what everyone wanted to really see - TGR now has a direct route towards the provision of speciality Lithium Battery grade material for the ELECTRIC VEHICLE revolution with massive benefits over competitors, most of whom are Chinese and hence TGR has been found to be an excellent alternative source OUTSIDE of the Chinese sphere of influence, crucial in this time of supply chain security and dependency issues.
What's more, if my reading is correct, TGR and its hugely significant partner mentioned in the RNS have innovated again to develop a process which is more efficent, leading to less waste, higher grades, and fewer production steps to achieve the desired outcome. No wonder in his interview the CEO Shishir alluded to the fact that they could scale up the processing capacity from the already expedited 3,000tpa to 10,000tpa if needed. The 3,000 tpa production was supposed to come online in the June/July Quarter 2022 - this has been brought forward rapidly to be operational by the last quarter of this year - clearly there is huge demand and TGR are more than ready to step up to the plate!
