RMW 2023 - 10th annual High-Level Conference of the European Innovation Partnership on Raw Materials

Talga's Martin Phillips is one of five business representatives on stage as the EU highlights promising projects for their discussion regarding Strategic Projects.

The segment begins at 4:24:40 with Thierry Breton talking about the importance of these projects. I think at this point it is now very clear that Talga will be named as a strategic project early next year, which would be fantastic for our future expansion. Obviously it's not done yet, but it's difficult not to come to this conclusion. Unfortunately each representative is only given 3 minutes due to limited time, however I think it's still enough to cover the importance of each project.

After this discussion there is more from Breton about the importance of Talga and graphite. Interestingly, Breton mentions how he was discussing with Martin before about graphite from wood. He mentions "a big Swedish family owning a lot of wood". Stora Enso would no doubt be that company. We know that they are working in conjunction with Northvolt. There is sheepish laughter from Martin Phillips, followed immediately by a reaction from Breton, pulling back and saying "I don't want to give names". We know there are NDAs, so take from that what you will.

Martin Phillips is on at 4:50:35.

These are all very high ranking EU members and although I have not yet viewed the rest, I suspect there will be more interesting info regarding CRMA, NZIA etc.
