The client has also installed a second ArmourGRAPH™ bucket liner at the same Pilbara mine site.
With this liner performing well it is expected further ArmourGRAPH™ liners will be installed with other newGen clients in the near future.
Craig McGuckin, Managing Director for First Graphene Ltd., said, “PureGRAPH[®] enhanced products continue to provide excellent performance in trials being conducted by this major iron ore producer. We are encouraged by these trials, as only First Graphene has the capacity to deliver high volumes of high-quality graphene to users when they adopt graphene into their products.”
