Ann: POSCO Signs Cooperation Agreement, page-61

Not much discussion on the following (???) which reads very much like a strategic partnership:

The companies have been involved in ongoing discussions about areas of collaboration to support the development of EGR’s vertically integrated battery anode materials business.

These areas include the establishment of a global battery anode materials supply chain hub in Tanzania, which involves further development and expansion of EGR’s Epanko graphite mine and the Merelani-Arusha graphite project.

Additionally, EGR will utilise POSCO’s engineering, construction, financing, and investment capabilities to advance its project stance in Tanzania.

The agreement positions POSCO to leverage EcoGraf’s proprietary graphite purification technology.
