Slide 4: Executive Summary
4 Executive Summary MRL Corporation Ltd (Ticker ASX:MRF) (“MRL” or “Company”) holds 1 Mining Licence and 4 Exploration Permits covering 6,300 ha of known ultra high-grade, vein graphite deposits in Sri Lanka. Ultra high grade Sri Lankan vein graphite (~90 - 99%) when compared to average grades o
Slide 5: Graphene
5 Graphene Testing at University of Adelaide show excellent results for high quality graphene production. Tests performed produced high quality single and multi-layer graphene sheets showing low defects, which was confirmed by the Raman characterisation. The quality of the graphene exfoliated
Slide 6: Sri Lankan Vein Graphite
6 Sri Lankan Vein Graphite Sri Lankan vein graphite production has shrunk from greater than 33,000t in 1916 to less than 3,500 t in 2012 as a result of only two mines continuing to produce. It is the rarest, most valuable, highest quality form of natural graphite with a purity of 90-99% Total Ca
Slide 7: High Level Business Plan
7 High Level Business Plan ‘Old-Timers’ mined shallow shafts (~25m) and produced a significant quantity of graphite before being forced out of their workings because of lack of capital, poor ventilation and water control. MRL’s will use conventional but modern techniques to identify old workings
Slide 8: Projects: Introduction
8 Projects: Introduction MRL has five separate graphite project areas in Sri Lanka covering 6,300 ha. All projects are 100% owned. ~ 220 historical workings have been identified to date and large remnant graphite dumps indicate MRL’s licences have, in the past, produced large volumes of vein g
