Leliyn Produces 99.97% Purified Spherical Graphite
- Testwork produced 99.97% purified spherical graphite using conventional processing
- Coating and electrical testing underway while Leliyn Scoping Study is set for completion next month
- Kingsland's off-take partner, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, will be provided with samples to assess the parameters of its proposed downstream processing facility
Kingsland Minerals Ltd is pleased to announce outstanding metallurgical testwork results from its Leliyn graphite project which mark another pivotal milestone in the Company's strategy to be a major graphite supplier to the EV and renewable energy markets. The tests were the first conducted on Leliyn graphite concentrate with the aim of producing purified, spherical graphite (PSG) and delivered high grade PSG with grades of up to 99.96% using low temperature alkaline bake methods. Additional dilute acid wash increased the grade further to 99.97%. The next step is to optimise the processing flow-sheet to produce concentrate of consistent grade and particle size to suit the micronising and spheronising process. Kingsland's off-take partner, Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, will be provided with samples to assess the parameters of its proposed downstream processing facility at Darwin to produce PSG. The Leliyn Scoping Study is on track to be delivered in September 2025.
The next step is to generate additional metallurgical samples to optimise the processing flowsheet, including a comprehensive program to assess optimal comminution (crushing and grinding) parameters and to optimise the flotation process to produce concentrate of consistent grade and particle size to suit the micronising and spheronising process.
