Epanko Engineering Unlocks 20% More Production

• EcoGraf’s value engineering review identified a potential 20% increase in Epanko Stage 1 production capacity, from 73,000 to 87,600 tonnes per year.
• The potential expansion is estimated to require approximately US$12 million in additional initial capital, with no material changes to the existing plant layout and costs remaining within the Updated BFS contingency.
• C1 operating costs could decrease by 5.8% to approximately US$512 per tonne during the first 10 years, while life-of-mine costs could fall by 6.8% to US$515.9 per tonne.
• The increased production could support the development of a single 25,000-tonne-per-year HFfree battery anode material purification facility.
• The expansion would use the existing 16.7 million-tonne ore reserve at 8.2% total graphitic carbon and could shorten the mine life from 22 to approximately 20 years.
• The 73,000-tonne-per-year Updated BFS remains the basis for project development and debt financing; the 87,600-tonne-per-year case is preliminary and still requires further engineering, studies and a final investment decision.
