Sovereign Metals Ltd - Mining exploration and development company focusing on flagship Kasiya rutile deposit in Malawi - Says testing at Kasiya graphite project shows "near perfect" crystallinity, as carbon purity goes above benchmark. Says results demonstrate "excellent suitability" for use in lithium-ion batteries. Adds, further testwork is underway to confirm optimal purification process. This comes after the lithium-ion battery anode market became the largest end-market for natural flake graphite, with demand for anodes growing by 46%.
Director Julian Stephens says:"These results bolster Kasiya's competitive advantage, indicating that not only does the project have the potential to be a dominant rutile supplier, but also a dominant supplier of graphite suitable for the lithium-ion battery industry."
