Northern Graphite
Purity matters in graphite because a higher carbon content and larger mesh size usually translate to higher value. No two graphite deposits are the same. A review of Northern Graphite's press releases shows that it has spent considerable effort educating the markets about the special purity of its Bissett Creek graphite deposit.

2012/8/14TCMR: Northern Graphite recently put out a release saying that it has created spherical graphite. CB: Yes, the company has developed a proprietary process for creating spherical graphite and is working with Hazen Research and the National Research Council of Canada on continuing these tests and optimizing the entire process.

Project Location Matters : Miningstocks
In the pre-electronic graphite market the value of graphite was largely related to morphology and flake size, with somewhat less emphasis on ultra-purity. Grades of graphite included Jumbo flake: +35 mesh or +500 microns Large flake:-35 mesh by 50 mesh or

Energizer outlines graphite economics in Madagascar
Molo would produce 84,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate annually over a 20 year mine life with an average purity of 92% carbon. Energizer's model assumes a US$1,564 per tonne sales price on its concentrate, which would result in a US$341 million after-tax net present value (NPV) and a 41% internal rate of return (IRR) at a 10% discount rate.

2019/9/1Northern Graphite Corporation's route can also be used as a modest means to upsurge the purity of flake graphite concentrates to 98–99% Cg (total carbon in a graphite form) for numerous industrial markets or to more than 99.5% Cg for more advanced uses . 6.

Focus Graphite, Inc. (FCSMF): What every investor needs
TD: When a graphite company is pursuing ultra high purity or battery-grade graphite, it would go to a third party like SGS, which I understand is a world leader in this field. OP: Yes, because many of the companies all around the world — especially the ones with projects that are fairly well advanced – use the services of SGS due to the level of expertise that was obtained over the past 3

Flinders sees upside in Swedish graphite revival
"There exists a great opportunity to scale up future production from the mine site area, and meet growing demand for high-purity flake graphite." Historic mining activities focused on the Kringelgruvan quarry, with overburden having been removed from the Central and South zones in addition to ramp construction along the deposit's Western zone, which was developed as mining moved to

It just completed a successful airborne electromagnetic survey on a large portion of the Qubec property and got back very favorable results–some of the properties lit up like a Christmas tree.

Graphite mine concentrates must be upgraded to 99.95% purity for use in a number of value added markets, the largest being the manufacture of anode material for lithium ion batteries (LiBs). Essentially all of this purification is done in China using hydrofluoric acid which is difficult and/or expensive to do in the west due to environmental and workplace health and safety challenges.
