Slide 2: McIntosh Graphite “Made in Australia”
McIntosh Graphite “Made in Australia” An important diversification of the graphite supply chain. Mike Rosenstreich 8 September. 2017 Tokyo, Japan Benchmark World Tour – LIB Supply Chain
Slide 3: Natural Flake Graphite: LIB, GLIB or NGLIB
Natural Flake Graphite Lets get it right! LIB, GLIB or NGLIB! • Graphite-Lithium Ion or Nickel-Graphite-Lithium Batteries! • Anode is Graphite - c.7x more graphite in a GLIB than Li & Co. • Cathode is Nickel – with a “sprinkling” of Li & Co. Anode graphite is an approximately, 30:70 mixture of natur
Slide 4: Hexagon in Japan
Hexagon in Japan Why? HXG is “Upstream” and a critical part of the Supply Chain; • Developing a large scale, high-quality flake concentrate project in Western Australia • Test work in progress to refine and diversify its flake concentrates for spherical & expandable graphite end use. • Down stream p
Slide 5: The Path to Commercialisation
The Path to Commercialisation The Customer (starting at the end of the Path); Spheroidisation Technical aspects-include: Battery Industry McIntosh Flake Graphite Concentrate Purification • Spheroidisation HXG Aim – 99.99% spherical Product Spec’s • Yield [Coating] graphite product. 1. 98% total grap
Slide 6: Upstream in Western Australia
Upstream in Western Australia The McIntosh Project…… McIntosh Flake Graphite Project - is well located “politically” & geographically: • Western Australia is ranked 3rd on the Fraser Institute’s (FI) 2016 global Investment Attractiveness Index. • Western Australia is in the top ten for FI’s Policy P
Slide 7: Upstream in Western Australia: Project Infrastructure
Upstream in Western Australia The McIntosh Project - infrastructure McIntosh Project – Main Access Road – excellent access across Project. Wyndham Port – with loading and storage facilities-295km north along Highway Great Northern Highway (only 12 km from Project area)
Slide 8: Geology & Resources – Large Scale
Upstream in Western Australia Geology & Resources-Large Scale…… Scale is important – it demonstrates long-term supply capability. Contained JORC Classification Tonnes (Mt) TGC (%) Graphite (kt) Total Indicated & 21.3 4.5% 964 Inferred ASX Report 25 May, 2017; Cut-off is 3%TGC and rounding errors may
Slide 9: High-Grade Flake Concentrate
Upstream in Western Australia High-Grade Flake Concentrate PFS - Processing: • Throughput of 2.4Mtpa to produce ~88ktpa of 98% TGC flake graphite concentrate. • Current design has little consideration for flake size preservation – hence design P80 < 106 microns to give flake size distribution in tab
Slide 10: Positive Pre-Feasibility Outcomes
Upstream in Western Australia Positive Pre-Feasibility Outcomes… Annual Life of Mine Life of Mine PHYSICALS Unit PFS FINANCIAL OUTCOMES Unit Average (LOM) (LOM) Ore Mined Mt 2.4 14.3 Site Operating Costs AUD/t Conc 987 Strip Ratio W:O 4.3 4.5 Realisation Costs (FOB) AUD/t Conc 51 Total Mined Mt 11.3
Slide 11: Moving Downstream – Stage 2 Developments
Moving Downstream – Stage 2 Developments Value adding with additional processing of flake concentrate • Pre-Feasibility - examined only production of a high-purity flake concentrate for the lithium ion battery market. • Recent battery test work results for spheroidised material are highly encouragin
Slide 12: Moving Downstream
Moving Downstream Value adding with additional processing • Complicated interrelationships, so vital to assess (and report) all key criteria and then optimise. • Excellent outlook to make further improvements to more closely conform to likely specifications required for (graphite) lithium ion batter
Slide 13: Marketing Strategy
Marketing Strategy Product diversification and price enhancement Stage1: Project in WA Objective – produce c. 100ktpa of high grade flake graphite concentrates comprising: • 60-70% Small-Medium (c.100 microns) sized flake concentrate for the (G)LIB market; and • 30-40% Medium-Large (>150 microns) si
Slide 14: Development Outlook
Development Outlook The Next Steps… Stage1 Project in WA: 1. Complete Feasibility study including: • Enhanced process flow sheet to reduce OpEx and enhance flake size; • Review CapEx – look at the real likely numbers; and • Verify two product streams suitable for 2 different market segments. 2. Fina
