What is Graphite?
-
‣ Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon that most commonly forms in nature when carbon-rich rocks undergo metamorphism (pressure/temperature induced change).
-
‣ Graphite (the mineral) consists of parallel sheets of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. The individual sheets, one or few atoms in .
-
thickness, are called graphene
-
‣ Graphite has an exceptionally high melting point, and very high thermal and electrical conductivity as well as other remarkable properties that make it useful for a large range of applications, predominantly refractory materials.
-
‣ 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 and therefore prices are not transparent. 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.

New Demand Driver
-
More graphite than lithium
-
10 x in a Li-ion Battery.
-
‣ Graphite is a significant component of many types of battery , particularly Li-ion.
-
‣ Commonly there is 10x more graphite than lithium in a Li-ion battery anode.
-
‣ Rapid growth of global graphite-rich anode materials market causing shortages. Tesla recently announced plans for a battery Gigafactory that alone will require significant new capacity. Other manufacturers will compound shortage. Electric vehicles can use up to vehicle in batteries.

Graphene Production Option
On 19 Feb 2014 Talga announced exceptional results from graphene testwork on Nunasvaara graphite. Key conclusions of the testwork include:
-
‣ Unoxidised graphene can be directly and liberated from
-
rapidly unprocessed , one-
-
unpurified Nunasvaara graphite ore in a no
-
step environmentally friendly process i.e. crushing/grinding, sonication, microwaving, purification required.
-
‣ Process liberates graphite along with graphene, providing two product streams.
-
‣ Nunasvaara ore has extraordinary physical properties that enable the extraction process to the .
-
and that may be unique deposit
-
‣ Processing method suits upscaling to bulk production and industry literature suggests graphite/graphene produced at approximately 9 to 1 respectively.

Graphene Development
-
‣ Quality of graphene produced is outstanding and comparable to graphene made from synthetic routes (>99.9% C precursors).
-
‣ Next stage tests will confirm graphite/ graphene yields, particle size/distribution, graphite recovery/purity, process upscalability and scoping study level opex/capex costs.
-
‣ Potential to be lowest cost producer of bulk graphene for additive market polymers, metals, cement, conductive inks, 3D print materials.
-
‣ Preliminary economic studies underway. Stage 1 pit design and optimisation work completed . Product specification studies, metallurgy and final economic inputs are pending. Results expected Q3 2014 after graphene upscaling tests included.

Graphene Market Growing fast, massive research and development funding
-
‣ Exponential growth apparent in graphene patents a proxy for growing use.
-
‣ Market in infancy thus predictions of the value of graphene markets range widely from approximately $140M to more than $1B depending on source.
-
‣ Similar to graphite, different applications require different qualities of graphene i.e. particle size and purity.
-
‣ It is not just high tech applicable. Research has demonstrated small amounts of graphene ( 0.5%-5% ) mixed into bulk commodities such as cement (world annual consumption 3,300Mt), iron (840Mt), plastics (100Mt) and aluminium (45Mt) can provide exponential increase in strength and conductivity, increasing efficiency/weight savings and commercial applications.
-
‣ Over EU$2.5B in graphene research funding has been launched in the EU (Sweden) alone in last 12 months.

Graphene Summary
==> picture [162 x 159] intentionally omitted <==
Unique deposit with raw ore option
Low cost/ high margin
Ultra-high grade deposit ore contains unique properties of grade and minerals that enable a true direct-from-ore one stage process to liberate both high quality graphene and graphite. Process is simple, environmentally friendly and utilises Sweden’s low cost electricity. Combined with minimal site ‘footprint’, established quality infrastructure and graphite byproduct credit; potential to be lowest cost bulk graphene producer in world.
Quality
Graphene produced direct from Talga ore equals or exceeds that of synthetic graphite/purified graphite precursors and betters equivalent commercial products in market now.

Divestment Project - Gold The company wholly owns multiple gold projects in Australia which consist of early to advanced exploration-stage projects with very high grades of gold in surface sampling and drilling. Highlights to date include drilling intercepts of 7m @ 14.4g/t Au and 3m @ 24.8g/t Au at Talga Talga , and the discovery of gold-tellurium-bismuth zones in the Ghooli dome at Bullfinch and 0.2% Bi . , where surface samples return up to 107.5g/t Te, 34.6g/t Au The next steps on the projects are further drilling towards defining resources and bulk sampling to advance the near-surface gold towards short term production. The projects are 100% owned , and several projects are within trucking distance (70km) to operating gold mills . Divestment/JV opportunity
