Results from natural graphite test work from Chilalo Deposit

Key points

• High-value fuel-cell applications for data centers and EVs
• Thick graphite flakes with low halogen content
• Concentrate-grade graphite supply opportunity

Full summary

Evolution Energy Minerals Limited (ASX:EV1) announced promising results from test work on natural graphite from the Chilalo deposit in Tanzania. The graphite's coarse flakes and low halogen content make it ideal for fuel cell applications, particularly in data centers and electric vehicles. The company's technology partner, American Energy Technologies Company (AETC), identified key attributes for these markets, including flake size, thickness, oxidation resistance, and low halogen content. AETC's assessment suggests that the planned Chilalo concentrator could produce a 95-97 wt.% carbon concentrate suitable for the fuel-cell market.
