PROMISING GRAPHENE RESULTS FROM
ARDIDEN’S CANADIAN GRAPHITE PROJECT
Important breakthrough with testing confirming that high-quality
graphene can be extracted from Manitouwadge graphite
Key Points:
 Successful testwork has been undertaken by researchers at the
University of Adelaide on core samples from Ardiden’s Manitouwadge
Graphite Project in Ontario, Canada.
 Testwork has confirmed that graphene was extracted from
Manitouwadge graphite using various methods.
 The high quality of the graphene produced was described as
comparable with synthetic graphene routes.
 Thermal and electrochemical extraction methods were successfully
used to extract high-quality graphene from processed samples.
 The graphite characterisation showed considerable conductivity,
which is important for electrochemical processing.
 The graphene produced also showed low structural defects, which is
considered to be important for advanced storage applications.
