TORONTO, ON /October 28, 2020
Gratomic announces that it is in the process of submitting 243 Kg of high purity graphite concentrate obtained from its pilot testing program for characterization for use as anode material in Lithium Ion battery cells. The graphite will initially be put through an Air Classification process in Toronto, Ontario and from there will be sent to Dorfner Anzaplan in Germany to undergo spherical micronization and classification. This verification process should establish Gratomic as a leader among its peers in proving that its graphite will be suitable for the anode material supply chain for North American battery manufacturers like Tesla, Panasonic, and others..

About Dorfner Anzaplan Dorfner is a leading European specialty minerals producer delivering high quality mineral products to different industries. ANZAPLAN was founded in 1985 to become the most independent venture within the Dorfner group of companies while concentrating the group’s analytical and engineering know-how to serve external customers. Extensive know-how in the specialty minerals processing, including liberation of fine-grained minerals, separation, flotation and mechanical, chemical and thermal modification derived from more than a century of day-to-day processing experience at Dorfner, has been successfully applied in the processing of various graphite raw materials. Furthermore, ANZAPLAN has detailed expertise in advanced chemical and thermal purification, upgrading graphite concentrates to up to 99.9+ purity levels.

1.Gratomic Inc will be seen as a leader in this space, WHY? BECAUSE it all comes down to cost.........follow the breadcrumb trail..

2.synthetic graphite: starting off with a cheap source of carbon, the addition of petroleum coke (petcoke) plus the energy cost, don't expect to pay less than $10k-20K per tonne

DR Ian Flint said it best,  The "junior companies are slowly learning that to be into the graphite you're not a miner, you're a processor, an intermediary to applications as oppose to a mine. Gratomic Inc is proving its strategy by developing and testing***  
although people are excited about the production, we expect bigger news beyond production, its coming...rest assure....
Something tells me a partnership agreement between Volkswagen/Gratomic is around the corner? TBD? 
 
Product M97 is a grade of graphite that Gratomic is developing and testing as a suitable product for battery grade graphite. The metals exchange, which must remain unnamed until its own launch in the first quarter of 2021, has impeccable corporate governance, and regulatory credentials.  The metals exchange is headquartered in the UK and boasts strategic support from a leading globally known securities trading platform. That company provides full security to the underlying stock, in the manner of other international commodities exchanges.

Volkswagen? JUST SAYING!!! maybe? maybe NOT? TBD? 

Volkswagen triples electric car sales ahead of climate rules

Lest you think Volkswagen is merely talking a big game around its future as an electric-car-focused brand, let VW America's COO and industry legend Johan de Nysschen lay it out.
