Fast Track Path-to-Production Strategy is Expected to Jump-Start U.S. Battery Anode Material Supply

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 12, 2023 /CNW/ - Graphite One Inc. (TSXV: GPH) OTCQX: GPHOF) ("Graphite One" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the delivery of synthetic graphite anode material samples for analysis by U.S.-based global end-users. Three of the active anode material samples delivered are each designed to meet different lithium-ion battery requirements: high energy capacity above 360 mAh/g; fast charging above 4C; and cycle life above 6,000 cycles, respectively. Graphite One's updated plan is to first construct a synthetic anode material production facility to produce a range of synthetic anode materials. A natural graphite anode material production line would later be added, in time to receive natural graphite from Graphite Ones's Graphite Creek deposit near Nome, Alaska once it is permitted and operating. Ultimately Graphite One intends to produce both synthetic and natural graphite anode materials for lithium-ion battery applications in North America.
