Lithium Energy Ltd (ASX:LEL) chairman William Johnson speaks with Proactive soon after receiving strong spheronisation and purification test-work results of greater than 99.97% total graphitic carbon (TGC) using concentrate from Burke Graphite Project in northwest Queensland. These purification results described as "exceptional" were achieved with potentially low-cost, environmentally safer, non-hydrofluoric acid processes. The completed battery anode material (BAM) test-work has defined the process flowsheet requirements to produce high purity 99.97% TGC spheronised graphite material, which will be suitable as feedstock for the battery anode making (BAM) process.
"The exceptional results of the BAM test work conducted on the 95% TGC Burke Graphite concentrate have surpassed expectations," Johnson said. "The development of a flowsheet that supports a two-product strategy, along with the exceptional purity of the final spherical purified graphite of 99.99% TGC, underpins the quality of the Burke Graphite and supports the vertically integrated BAM strategy Lithium Energy is implementing."

Lithium Energy Limited is an Australia-based battery mineral company. The Company's projects include Solaroz Lithium Brine Project and Burke Graphite Project. The Solaroz Lithium Project comprises eight mineral concessions totaling approximately 12,000 hectares of highly prospective lithium mineral concessions located approximately 230 kilometers north-west of the provincial capital city of Jujuy within South Americaâs Lithium Triangle in north-west Argentina in the Salar de Olaroz basin (the Olaroz Salar). The Burke Graphite Project comprises two granted exploration permits for minerals (EPM) totaling approximately 26 square kilometers (km2) located in the Cloncurry region in north-central Queensland. Its Burke EPM 25443 tenement is located 125 km north of Cloncurry in a graphite mining province adjacent to the Mt. Dromedary Graphite Project. The Corella EPM 25696 tenement is located 40 km west of Cloncurry near the Flinders Highway that links Mt Isa to Townsville.
