GreenRoc's CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:

"This confirmation that our spheronised graphite, produced from concentrate from the Lower Graphite Layer at the Amitsoq Island deposit, can be purified to an exceptional 99.97% purity using a preferred alkaline purification route is a very significant milestone for our flagship project. It demonstrates that our graphite is suitable for processing into anode-grade spherical graphite, a key raw material in the manufacturing of batteries for electric vehicles.

"This week I held a series of very constructive meetings in southern Greenland with key Community and Government stakeholders in our Amitsoq Project. I was greatly encouraged by what I felt to be the overwhelmingly positive engagement I was met with, concerning the Amitsoq project. I have high expectations that our Amitsoq project can bring real value to Nanortalik and the Municipality of Kujalleq and I very much look forward to working with all stakeholders over the coming years as we plan the mine reopening, and thereafter."

Alba's Executive Chairman, George Frangeskides, commented: "These latest developments from Amitsoq are very positive; not just in terms of the success of the purification test work, which has not only met but exceeded the 99.95% minimum purity level required for EV batteries, but also the clear indication from Stefan's meetings in Greenland of the existence of a groundswell of support from the key stakeholders at both the national and the local level for our plans to establish a graphite mine in southern Greenland."

More stimulus and infrastructure spending could be unveiled at the Chinese National People’s Congress in March, ING analyst Ewa Manthey said in a note.
China’s expected recovery is seen solely driven by the services and consumer sectors, which are less metals-intensive than industry, while the Federal Reserve is likely to stay hawkish, Citi analysts said in a note.
However, they still see LME copper hitting $10,000 a tonne in three months.

“The United States has no domestic production of natural graphite, but it is consumed by roughly 90 U.S. companies. Major producers of natural graphite include China (70%), North Korea (10%), and Brazil (8%). Top-quality flake graphite will likely see an increase in demand in the coming years; meanwhile the supply looks to be steady at best, and there are concerns about potential export controls out of China.”
