Northern Graphite Corp V.NGC

Alternate Symbol(s):  NGPHF

Northern Graphite Corporation is a Canada-based flake graphite producing company. The Company is focused on producing natural graphite and upgrading it into high-value products critical to the green economy, including anode material for lithium-ion batteries/electric vehicles (EVs), fuel cells and graphene, as well as advanced industrial technologies. Its mining operations include Lac des Iles, Okanjande and Bissett Creek. Its products include Flake Graphite Products and Porocarb Products. The Lac des Iles (LDI) mine is the only flake graphite producer in North America. The LDI mine is located approximately two kilometers south of Lac-des-Iles, Quebec, 110 kilometers (km) northeast of Ottawa and 180 km northwest of Montreal. The Okanjande mining is located in Namibia, one of Africa's finest mining jurisdictions. It holds a 100% interest in the Bissett Creek Project, which is located around 15 km from the Trans-Canada Highway between the towns of Deep River and Mattawa, Ontario.

RE: NGC Completes Further Successful Testing of Ba
- NRC reported that the electrochemical performance of the uncoated samples provided by Northern performed very well compared to commercial coated synthetic samples, especially considering their early stage of development.
 
- The overall objectives of the program were to evaluate, quantify and compare the performance of six different samples of uncoated spherical graphite provided by Northern to each other and to two commercial, coated synthetic reference samples.
 
- Northern has achieved spherical graphite yields of up to 70% on rounding when starting with its large flake. Almost all non-synthetic spherical graphite is made from small -100 mesh flake in China and yields are only about 30%. Different size fractions were produced for testing and they were purified both by Northern's proprietary process and by a commercial industry process.
 
- Three of the Northern samples showed a slightly higher irreversible capacity, 28 mAh/g, than the synthetic reference sample at 25mAh/g. This is very promising for uncoated graphite as performance could be improved by coating which is standard industry practice for natural graphite.
 
- Northern's uncoated graphite had 24% higher capacity after 50 charge/discharge cycles than either of the commercial coated synthetic anode materials.
 
- the surface area could be improved by a coating procedure and this will be a second stage of testing at NRC.
 
- Tap Density can also be improved through coating.
 
- There was no evidence of impurities that might affect battery performance in five of the samples.
 
- Overall, samples purified with Northern's proprietary process performed better than those purified with the commercial process.
