Sarytogan Graphite Ltd (ASX:SGA) managing director Sean Gregory isback in the Proactive studio with Jonathan Jackson to discuss theexpansion of its strategic plan for the Sarytogan Graphite Deposit toinclude new target markets. Testing on bulk flotation concentrateindicated that the material, with a carbon purity of 80% to 85%, issuitable for industrial and military applications without furtherpurification. While part of this concentrate will be refined foradvanced uses such as battery manufacturing and nuclear applications,the remainder can be used as a dry lubricant or lubricant pigment intraditional industrial and military settings. Gregory emphasised theimportance of maximising economic returns by penetrating multiplemarkets. The company aims to deliver high-purity graphite to advancedindustrial markets after customer qualification. New results indicatethat the precursor Sarytogan Micro-Crystalline 80-85% C graphiteproduct is suitable for traditional industrial applications, ensuringa steady demand base for the project. SGA plans to produce three typesof products from its namesake deposit, which has a mineral resourceestimate of 229 million tonnes at 28.9% total graphite carbon,equating to 66 million tonnes of contained graphite. These productswill target various markets at different refinement stages. Thecompany has also tested lithium-ion batteries made from SarytoganUncoated Spherical Purified Graphite (USPG) anodes, showingexceptional performance. Coin-cell batteries with Sarytogan CoatedSpherical Purified Graphite (CSPG) anodes have been manufactured, withresults pending incorporation into a pre-feasibility study expected inthe third quarter.
