Gratomic (TSX.V: GRAT) (OTCQX: CBULF) (FRA: CB82) has shared the results of initial metallurgical tests from its wholly owned Capim Grosso project in Brazil; the tests were performed on trenched material obtained from the site. Canada-based SGS Lakefield performed the tests from samples obtained from trenching programs at the property. Highlights of the results included a combined concentrate grade of 97.5% C(t) in one test with total carbon grades reaching as high as 98.6% in several particle-size fractions. The open circuit graphite recovery was 70.1%, with an estimated 20% of the graphite losses being associated with intermediated streams; most of these graphite units will report to the final concentrate during closed-circuit operation. Company officials noted that from the beginning, they were confident that the project could become a word-class deposit. The test results have confirmed that, and the company plans on fast-tracking the engineering process and plant construction. In addition, the company announced that it has signed an indicative term sheet with Millennium Metals LTD (“TM2”). The world’s first spot market where direct investment in technology metals is possible, TM2 is building a reputation for being the one-stop-shop for electric vehicle battery manufacturers and OEMs. The deal calls for Gratomic to supply graphite for 60 consecutive months begin upon commencement of commercial production at its Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia. The agreement is intended to form a strategic partnership that will allow the companies to be the first to industrialize graphite as a commodity. “Gratomic, like TM2, is founded on forward thinking, and this transaction is a prime example of how we strive to create opportunities rather than settling for the status quo,” said Gratomic president and CEO Arno Brand in the press release. “Gratomic will continue to establish itself as a multinational graphite supplier and aims to stake out a solid position in the electric vehicle battery sector.”
