[{"type":"text","content":" Research Agreement with McGill University for Graphite Processing Innovation MONTREAL, April 9, 2019 /CNW Telbec/ - SRG Graphite Inc. (TSXV: SRG) (\"SRG\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the results of its 200-tonne (\"t\") piloting project at SGS Canada. From the 200t processed, 12.8t of graphite flakes were produced at an average grade of 96.8% total carbon (\"Ct\"). With this graphite in hand, the Company will be better positioned to secure offtake agreements as it continues its sales efforts with its various clients in North America, Europe, and Asia. Figure 1 – Well locations for the 200t sampling for the pilot plan The Company is also pleased to announce that a 3-year research agreement has been signed with McGill University to further develop its graphite processing techniques. Areas of study will include conventional mineral processing technologies and the application of new or existing hydrochemical processes to further purify graphite flakes. Pilot plant results: In 2018, the Company extracted 200t of surface mineralised material throughout the Lola Graphite deposit and sent it to SGS Canada for processing. The purpose of this piloting was to produce graphite flakes of various size fractions for business development as well as to validate the metallurgical response of surface mineralised material. Figure 1 provides a map of the pits sampled to collect the 200t of material. Achieved results are summarized below: 200t of material were processed at SGS Canada; 12.8t of graphite flakes were produced, excluding samples removed for tests; Graphite flakes are at an average grade of 96.8% Ct; Flake distribution of: 13% +48mesh; 26% +80mesh; 12% +100mesh; 49% <100mesh; Flotation recovery of 85%. \"The successful processing of 200t of material from our deposit was an important validation of the metallurgical response of the Lola Graphite mineralised material. In addition to our metallurgical laboratory on site at Lola, the resulting 12.8 tonnes of graphite flakes from the piloting will contribute to the marketing of our product. We are now in a position to provide large quantities of our product to clients interested qualifying our graphite flakes in their manufacturing process\", said Raphaël Beaudoin, VP Operations. Research agreement with McGill University Given graphite is a key component of lithium-io...
