------ According to Volt Resources’ graphite concentrate from the Namangale graphite project in Tanzania, the mineral resource
has been found to be highly suitable for producing valuable, commercial grade, expandable graphite.
The graphite concentrate achieved high expansion volumes,
making it suitable and reliable for use in flame retardant foam, graphite foil among other applications.
This is highly encouraging as regulatory the changes are proposed in China and Europe for the
mandatory use of non-toxic substances in flame retardant building materials.
Volt has the largest JORC graphite resource in Tanzania with 461 million tonnes grading 4.9% total graphitic content.
This test-work paves the way for potential substantial future demand for expandable graphite produced from Volt’s Namangale project.
The test-work was completed at a German laboratory which is
a global specialist in graphite testing and analysis.
Having independent test work confirm the suitability of Volt’s graphite product in the flame retardant building materials market
is a key differentiating feature from rivals.
The German laboratory test-work continues to demonstrate
the quality of Volt’s graphite concentrate, having previously confirmed battery grade results of 99.99% total graphitic content.
Volt’s graphite concentrate product
was found to be suitable for a variety of commercial applications, including spherical graphite for the lithium-ion battery sector.
Last month, the company completed a pre feasibly study which projected robust technical and financial viability of the Namangale project.
The project has an estimated
a pre-tax net present value (NPV) of $1.31 billion based on a 22-year mine life, with an 87% internal rate of return and
pay-back period of only 1.4 years.
Last month, Volt’s board endorsed the recommendation to immediately progress Namangale and undertake a definitive feasibility study in 2017,
paving the way for finalising off-take agreements and project finance.
The study will also
target additional high quality
large flake size graphite from Namangale South.
