ASX: EGR

ProGraphite Technical Cooperation and Board Change with Appendix 3Z

EcoGraf Limited ( EcoGraf or the Company ) (ASX: EGR) has made some corporate changes due to the recent increase in the Company’s commercial activities and programs in its battery spherical graphite and other downstream processing initiatives.

In order to ensure there are no potential conflicts of interest and to ensure the ongoing programs are conducted in accordance with the Company’s corporate governance principles on independence, Mr Christoph Frey, as the owner of ProGraphite GmbH (“ ProGraphite ”) will resign from his position as an independent Non-Executive Director of EcoGraf.

Accordingly, Christoph Frey’s resignation is effective as of the date of this announcement and a final director’s interest notice is attached to this announcement.

The Company is pleased that it has entered arrangements to continue its technical cooperation with ProGraphite on the Company’s proprietary purification process, including the evaluation of high purity carbon products, battery recycling, synthetic graphite analysis and spherical graphite coatings to support new business opportunities.

The Company initially engaged ProGraphite to undertake a range of technical programs for natural flake graphite and purified spherical graphite products, including the development and optimisation of the Company’s proprietary non-hydrofluoric acid EcoGraf purification process for producing battery graphite.

The Company is finalising its predevelopment activities which includes Product Sales and EPC arrangement to finance and develop its state-of-the-art 20,000 tonne per annum battery graphite purification facility in Western Australia.

This announcement is authorised for release by Andrew Spinks, Managing Director.

About EcoGraf

Founded on a commitment to innovation and sustainability, EcoGraf is building a vertically integrated business to produce high purity graphite for the lithium-ion battery market.

The new state-of-the-art processing facility in Western Australia will manufacture spherical graphite products for export to Asia, Europe and North America using a superior, environmentally responsible purification technology to provide customers with sustainably produced, high performance battery anode graphite. In time the battery graphite production base will be expanded to include additional facilities in Europe and North America to support the global transition to clean, renewable energy in the coming decade.

To complement the battery graphite operations, EcoGraf is also developing the TanzGraphite natural flake graphite business, commencing with the Epanko Graphite Project, which will supply additional feedstock for the spherical graphite processing facilities and provide customers with a long term supply of high quality graphite products for industrial applications such as refractories, recarburisers and lubricants.
