Highlights: Initial feedback from Japanese anode and battery producers indicate that uncoated Balama spherical graphite is of a superior quality than those currently being utilised An anode producer has successfully coated Balama spherical graphite and achieved specifications that exceed those of leading Chinese manufacturers This anode producer has also successfully produced a lithium (Li) ion battery using Balama natural graphite anodes (produced from coated Balama spherical graphite) for initial test work: o First discharge capacity of 369.95 milliamphere-hour per gram o First discharge efficiency of 94.5% These above initial results exceed the performance of typical Chinese natural graphite anodes and a leading synthetic graphite anode Accordingly, both coated Balama spherical graphite and Balama natural graphite anode have satisfied and exceeds the requirements for computers, communications, consumer and Li-ion battery applications These initial coated Balama spherical graphite specifications and test results have been distributed to major battery producers and electric vehicle manufacturers around the world Samples of coated and uncoated Balama spherical graphite have also been distributed to some of these parties A Preliminary Economic Study for a spherical graphite plant is underway which considers a 25,000 tonne per annum (tpa) scenario in both Mozambique and the United States for a combined production of 50,000 tpa
