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 a battery mineral company. The Company is focused on developing a vertically integrated battery anode material (BAM) business in Queensland. Its Solaroz Lithium Project (Solaroz) comprises 12,000 hectares of mineral concessions hosting a significant lithium discovery located within the Salar de Olaroz Basin (Olaroz Salar) in South Americaâs âLithium Triangleâ in north-west Argentina. The BAM Graphite Project consists of a PSG Facility located in Townsville, QLD and is supported by two high-grade graphite deposits, the Burke and Corella. The Burke and Corella Graphite Projects are located in North Central Queensland approximately 130 kilometers (kms) and 30 km from Cloncurry respectively. The 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.
