• Renascor completed construction of its Australian Government co-funded PSG demonstration facility and commenced commissioning
• Key milestones achieved include completion of pre-commissioning, system verification, and water commissioning activities
• Commissioning is underway, with Renascor on track to commence processing graphite under operating conditions this quarter

Renascor Resources Ltd has completed construction of its Australian Government co-funded Purified Spherical Graphite (PSG) demonstration facility in Adelaide, South Australia, and commenced commissioning activities. Key milestones achieved during the quarter include completion of construction, with all major process equipment installed and interconnected, enabling the facility to transition from pre-commissioning to commissioning. Renascor completed a range of pre-commissioning and system verification activities, including electrical and instrumentation checks, control system integration, site acceptance testing, water commissioning, and preparation of operating procedures. Commissioning of the PSG demonstration facility is now underway, with activities focused on operating the plant under integrated conditions. Renascor expects to commence processing graphite under operating conditions using reagents later this quarter, targeting production of battery-grade graphite and initial customer samples. Subsequently, Renascor plans to conduct a series of operating runs to optimise operating parameters and progressively increase production volumes, supporting process validation and the production of larger sample quantities. Upstream project activities also continue to progress, with ongoing optimisation work delivering positive outcomes from groundwater, tailings, and mining studies, as well as progress in site enabling and accommodation planning.

Successful completion of commissioning and operating runs at the PSG demonstration facility is expected to support progression toward the next stage of project development, including offtake engagement, detailed design, and financing activities for the proposed commercial-scale PSG facility.
