What is Natural Graphite?

  • Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon that forms in nature when carbon-rich rocks undergo metamorphism (pressure/temperature induced change). It can be synthesised but at very high cost.

  • ‣ Graphite (the mineral) consists of parallel sheets of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, which when one or few atoms in thickness, are called . graphene

  • ‣ Graphite has remarkable properties of electrical and thermal conductivity that make it useful for a large range of applications.

  • ‣ Natural graphite demand is about 1.1Mt/yr , a volume similar to Nickel, with total value approximately US$1B/yr.

  • ‣ Graphite is most commonly sold as a concentrate by private contract. Industry prices are surveyed and published by Industrial Minerals magazine.

  • ‣ Consumption is diverse with significant markets in steel production and refractories (>50%), automotive parts, lubricants and batteries.

  • ‣ China and Brazil supply >80% world natural graphite.

  • can use up to 100kg graphite per

  • Rapid growth taking place in EV’s causing shortages. Tesla recently announced plans for a US$5B Li-ion battery ‘ gigafactory ’ that alone will require the graphite equivalent to 6 new mines. Other manufacturers may compound shortage.

  • Unique Graphene Production Ability Nunasvaara has unique advantage to potentially produce bulk quantity graphene at ultra-low cost

  • ‣ The common path to graphene production from natural graphite ore involves multiple stages of crushing, milling and flotation to form a concentrate that is purified before entering further steps including electrode forming, oxidation and reduction to reach saleable graphene.

  • ‣ These add costs while the stages damaging quality of the graphene, and market .

  • lowering price shrinking applications

  • ‣ Talga’s economic advantage is that Nunsvaara ore does not need multiple . Because of the characteristics of the ore

  • stage processing unique , both graphite and graphene can be liberated from the ore in a single step process.

  • different and cost This enables Talga to enjoy a vastly production capital structure compared to other producers globally, and represents a paradigm bulk .

Dual Graphite/Graphene Production Option On 19 Feb 2014 Talga announced exceptional results from new metallurgical testwork on Nunasvaara graphite ore. Key conclusions of the testwork include:

  • ‣ A 1-step process using electric current applied directly to uncrushed / unpurified Nunasvaara ore can liberation of and .

  • cause rapid graphite graphene without physical milling

  • ‣ Single to few layered graphene is produced without oxidation or sonication and therefore retains a pristine high quality state not commonly possible at high yield bulk scale potential (defect-to-layer ratio <0.25).

Worldwide patent applications by publication year. From Intellectual Property Office UK, Graphene Patent Landscape 2013

  • Graphene Market Growing fast. Massive development underway.

  • ‣ Graphene is the world’s first quasi-2D material and has superlative characteristics in electrical and thermal conductivity, strength, lightness, transparency and flexibility. Exponential patent growth evidences development curve but mainstream market in infancy and awaiting lower cost supply (costs range widely $100kg to $1500kg or more depending on supply, quality and performance factors)

  • ‣ Mainstream is focussing on ‘high-tech’ uses such as ‘bendy’ LCD screens and quantum computers but larger volumes required for super-capacitors, conductive inks, 3-d printing and bulk material additives.

  • ‣ Research[2] has demonstrated small amounts of graphene ( 0.05-2% ) added to common bulk materials can impart exponential increases in cement

  • strength with less weight e.g. (global consumption 3,300Mt/ ann), and aluminium (45Mt). Similar additions of graphene to steel (840Mt) can impart anti-corrosion properties and plastics (100Mt) can become conductive, causing increased outlook for graphene demand.

Nunasvaara - summary 12 month development plan

Nunasvaara’s JORC Indicated resource is ideally situated for fast-tracking to development. Next steps are upscaling
metallurgical work to complete dual graphite/graphene scoping study in Q3 2014 and a bulk sample to be processed
through a pilot plant in 2015. Sales of graphene from any stage will be sought to potentially make the process self
