GRAPHEX MINING LIMITED 2017 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Chairman’s Address and Presentation
Please find attached the Chairman’s Address and presentation that will be delivered at the Graphex Mining Limited Annual General meeting in Perth today.
Yours sincerely,
STUART McKENZIE Company Secretary
For further information, please contact: Stuart McKenzie – Commercial Manager and Company Phil Hoskins – Managing Director Secretary Tel: +61 8 9200 4960 Tel: +61 8 92004960 Media: Michael Weir/Richard Glass – Citadel-MAGNUS Telephone: +61 8 6160 4903
Chairman’s Address
Ladies and gentlemen
As you are aware, Graphex has a clear strategy of developing the Chilalo Project in Tanzania, and supplying coarse flake graphite to the high-value Chinese expandable graphite market.
This strategic focus was what originally led us to establish our existing relationship with CN Docking, a subsidiary of the large Chinese SOE, China National Building Materials, and earlier this year we signed a preliminary term sheet with CN Docking for the joint development of Chilalo.
What we didn’t foresee happening this year was the Tanzanian Government in July making some major legislative changes which affect all existing and new mining projects in that country. These changes include a requirement for the Government there to participate in the direct ownership of all Tanzanian mining projects, and changes like this are so fundamental it is not surprising they caused inevitable delay to the progress of our commercial negotiations with CN Docking. On a positive note, CN Docking has since recommitted to amended commercial terms following the new legislation enacted by the Tanzanian Government, and I am pleased to say that our negotiations with CN Docking have recently regathered momentum as we move closer to securing the agreements required for the development of Chilalo.
What’s driving CN Docking’s interest in Chilalo is the exceptional quality of the graphite we expect to produce. Chilalo has the coarsest flake graphite product in the world and it has exceptional rates of expansion. It is a high value product for which we expect there will be considerable demand in a range of applications, particularly flame-retardant building materials.
Phil has spent an enormous amount of time in China over the past three years and has developed a thorough understanding of the Chinese graphite market. There is clearly an emerging flake graphite supply issue there, driven largely by the enforcement of Chinese environmental policy which has seen the closure of flake graphite mines throughout China. Significant supply restrictions are now taking effect, and there is a major shortage of feedstock for the production of expandable graphite. This represents an exciting market opportunity for Chilalo, and Phil will talk more about this in his presentation.
In relation to Tanzania, I am pleased to report that we are making progress with the Government there to settle the commercial terms under which the Government can participate in the development of Chilalo alongside the existing joint venture partners. We retain a strong local operating presence in Tanzania and we engaged early with the Government in relation to their revised project requirements. We are encouraged by their constructive response to these negotiations, and we are confident that a mutually beneficial outcome can be achieved which will enable Chilalo to be developed. Phil and his team will be back in Tanzania in the coming weeks, and so hopefully we look forward to bringing you positive news on this front.
I would like to thank Phil and his team for their efforts throughout the past year. Financing and building projects is never easy, particularly in light of some of the challenges which have been thrown our way this year. However, we are making good progress on all fronts, and I remain confident that Chilalo will soon become a reality. Finally, I would also like to thank you, our shareholders, for the confidence you have shown in us by investing in Graphex and I look forward to keeping you updated on our progress.
Thank you

Primary graphite markets and specifications
| Graphite Specifications |
Batteries | Traditional markets (refractories / foundries) |
Expandable graphite markets (including foil, sheet, gasket, seals, flame retardants) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flake Size | Fine (<150 microns) | Medium-large (150-300 microns) |
Mainly coarse (>180 microns)1 |
| Purity | Higher purity marginally reduces purification cost for spherical graphite producer |
Minimum 94% TGC purity | >85% TGC acceptable |
| Other | Favourable battery performance |
N/A | Expansion rate, method and temperature |
Graphex’s Chilalo project can produce all of these specifications

Expandable Graphite – Demand Drivers
Flame retardant building materials (FRBMs) are driving substantial demand for flake graphite in China
-
From 2016, Chinese building regulations now stipulate the use of FRBMs for all inner insulation and finishing of exterior walls
-
Expandable graphite has no competitor product for FRBMs in China
-
Japan and Korea moving towards adopting similar building regulations as China
-
China currently exporting FRBMs to Korea
-
EU has banned brominated flame retardants from 2017 onwards due to environmental concerns – China to follow suit in 2018
Installing flame retardant insulation foam

Worldwide move towards flame retardants
Tragic fires leading to building regulation changes around the world – huge potential for expandable graphite-based flame retardants
Flame retardant insulation foam
-
In June 2017, the Grenfell Tower fire caused 80 deaths and 70 injuries
-
The rapid spreading of the fire has been blamed on flammable cladding on the building’s exterior
-
In the weeks following the fire, 95 buildings in 32 local authorities failed safety tests (100% failure rate)
-
UK building regulations are now under review
Around the world
-
In August 2017, a skyscraper in Dubai caught fire - the same building caught fire in February 2015 with flammable cladding blamed for the fire spreading
-
Dubai has now amended fire safety rules to require fireresistant cladding – estimated 30,000 buildings in UAE with cladding that accelerates fire spreading
-
In Australia, insurers are warning building owners with similar cladding that they may be refused insurance

1. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource for the Exploration Target, which excludes the Chilalo Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Since IMX’s announcement of the Exploration Target on 2 September 2015, Graphex confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement.
