The Canadian company Global Battery Materials Corp. has delivered their first graphite samples from the Kearney Mine in Ontario to customers in the U.S. Simultaneously, the company opened a new graphite laboratory in Quebec.
The samples originate from the Kearney Mine, a historically operational graphite source that has been reactivated. Currently, potential buyers in the U.S. are evaluating the samples.
The new laboratory in Quebec is designed to process and analyze natural graphite. Its goal is to achieve purity levels of up to 97 percent carbon. Processing takes place on a laboratory scale and is modeled after industrial processes. Additionally, complete process simulations are being conducted.
Global Battery Materials already operates a pilot and research facility for the production of anode materials in South Korea. According to the company, this allows them to provide an end-to-end supply chain outside of China.
