94-95% Fixed Carbon Concentrate Pricing

Natural Flake Graphite Pricing (US$) is becoming divergent; with large flake commanding higher pricing due to undersupply and increasing demand. Graphmada produces predominantly large flake concentrates.

Stage 2: Expansion A low capital intensity expansion leveraging existing infrastructure, workforce and production knowledge, providing scale to lower and protect unit costs.

PRODUCTION EXPANSION 2020 >20,000TPA by

014

Stage 3: Expandability 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] These results exceed typical concentrates currently available.

INVESTO R PRESENTATIO N

Expandable Graphite

  • Highest price growth of any graphite products.

  • Regulatory pressures forcing higher adoption in flame retardants, with demand estimated to reach >2mtpa by 2027 in China alone.

  • Very limited supply structure; only a few suppliers in the market.

  • For Bass; Low capital intensity, high margins, utilising existing workforce and infrastructure with consumables available in country.

EXPANDABLE GRAPHITE HAS THE HIGHEST PRICE GROWTH OF ANY GRAPHITE PRODUCTS
