Full summary
Renascor Resources has achieved key milestones in the development of its Australian Government co-funded Purified Spherical Graphite (PSG) demonstration facility in Adelaide, South Australia. Major site preparation works at the demonstration facility site have been completed, including civil groundwork and services installation. Renascor has awarded the primary installation contract, covering structural, mechanical, and piping works. Factory acceptance testing of overseas equipment has been successfully completed, and the initial equipment is now in Adelaide at the laydown facility, ready for installation. Initial shipments of bulk graphite sample material produced from the Siviour Graphite Deposit are en route to South Australia to be used as feedstock. Construction of the demonstration facility is expected to commence next month, with on-site commissioning scheduled to commence next quarter, pending timely receipt of overseas equipment. The demonstration facility will allow Renascor to showcase and optimise its HF-free purification process and deliver a globally competitive Australian alternative to China's current monopoly on PSG production.
Outlook
The demonstration facility will allow Renascor to test, demonstrate and optimise its purification process, with learnings to be utilized in the detailed design, construction and operation of the full-scale commercial PSG facility.
