Excellent quality uncoated and coated SPG suitable for LiB anodes was produced. Our spherical graphite testing resulted in yields of approximately 74%, which is twice the standard industry yield. The results indicate we would be very cost competitive with a less costly micronization process and exceptional spherical graphite yields. The latest testing highlights the high-quality, high-purity and low-contaminate nature of South Star's concentrates for value-add and purified graphite products. We will now be constructing battery cells and performing long-term cycle testing and opti...
