About Graphite One Inc
Graphite One Inc. continues to develop its Graphite One Project to become an American producer of high-grade anode materials that is integrated with a domestic graphite resource.
The Project is proposed as a vertically integrated enterprise to mine, process and manufacture anode materials primarily for the lithium‐ion electric vehicle battery market.
As set forth in the Company’s 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study, graphite mineralization mined from the Company’s Graphite Creek Property, situated on the Seward Peninsula about sixty (60) kilometers north of Nome, Alaska, would be processed into concentrate at an adjacent processing plant.
Natural and artificial graphite anode materials and other value‐added graphite products would be manufactured from the concentrate and other materials at the Company’s proposed advanced graphite materials manufacturing facility expected to be located in Washington State.
The Company intends to make a production decision on the Project upon the completion of a Feasibility Study by December 2024.
