Graphmada Large Flake Graphite Mine

Madagascar

The 100% owned and debt free Graphmada Graphite Mine is located in eastern Madagascar, a democratic island country in the Indian Ocean, which is governed under a French legal system, with a low Corporate Tax rate of 20% and a low 2% Mining Royalty. The country has produced benchmark quality graphite for over 100 years due to the high proportion of high purity, large flake graphite in soft, easily mineable, saprolitic ore.

Mineral Resources & Prospects

  • 382kt of contained graphite estimated in accordance with JORC.

  • Primary Deposit (Mahefedok) 3.5 Mt @ 4.2%TGC.[1]

  • Secondary Deposit (Loharano) 5.7 Mt @ 4.1%TGC.[2]

  • Mahela & Ambatofafana deposits.

  • Andapa discovery.[3]

==> picture [154 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Stage 1 Complete

  • Production recommissioned in May 2018.

  • Completed commissioning without any material unbudgeted capital expenditure.

  • 500,000 hours worked with no Lost Time Injury.

  • Process Plant production ramping up with

  • 1,230t last Quarter.

  • Drying and packaging production ramping up with 1,095t last Quarter.

==> picture [154 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Mining

  • Easily mineable saprolite-hosted graphite mineralization.

  • New mining fleet and equipment.

  • Fully tooled and skilled maintenance workshop.

  • Low operating costs ~$US5 per tonne of ore delivered.

==> picture [154 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Processing & Drying

  • Nameplate production of 6,000 tonnes per annum of graphite concentrate supply for the global market.

  • Consistently operating above design (exceeding nameplate production).

  • 45% of production is ≥ 180 micron concentrate and growing.

  • Consistently producing a final concentrate grade ≥ 94% Fixed Carbon.

==> picture [154 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Sales & Logistics

  • Excellent logistics to reach established graphite concentrate markets, with the Mine adjacent to the main National Highway and only 110 km to the country’s main export port at Tamatave.

  • The port is currently being upgraded via a US$640m investment from the Madagascan and Japanese Governments.

  • Sales to Europe (Offtake Agreement), India and the USA.

Graphite Concentrate Quality

Refractory and Crucible Applications

Graphmada can consistently supply high quality concentrates for refractory and crucible applications due to the exceptional qualities of its concentrates:

  • ✓ Exceptional flake size distribution.

  • ✓ A high resistance against oxidation.

  • ✓ A low LOI at 420[0] C

  • ✓ No carbonates such as calcite and dolomite, along with no other fluxes.

  • ✓ A very low Sulphur (SO3) content, at 0.02 wt.%.

  • ✓ Exhibiting favorable flake ash melting temperatures.

==> picture [154 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Expandable Applications

Expandability tests across all flake sizes delivered excellent results, with the maximum expansion volume of 510 cm3/g achieved with extremely large flakes > 400 microns[3.]

Size Fraction (micron) 800oC (cm3/g) 1000oC (cm3/g)
> 400 500 510
300 – 500 420 430
180 – 300 380 390
106 – 180 270 310
75 – 106 - 200
< 75 - 85

==> picture [154 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [87 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Battery Anode Applications

Highly suitable for lithium-ion battery applications with a very high purity of 99.99 wt.% carbon achieved. All analyzed parameters including bulk density, tap density and surface area (BET) are similar to typical spherical graphite products in the market. Graphmada concentrates are saleable across major market segments and supports Bass’ strategy to build an international industrial minerals business of significance.
