“These outstanding test results at 97.61% pure carbon futher confirm that our K1 site has virtually the purest naturally occurring graphite on the planet.” said Bharat Parashar, Chief Executive Officer. “In finding such commercially viable, high-quality natural graphite we are now shifting time and resources to preparations for commercial production.”
Ceylon Graphite has six large sized high-quality veins at its K1 site, test results from each showing Carbon content of over 90%.
The Company anticipates there is even more substantial high-quality graphite at lower depths at this site and continues to actively pursue its aggressive exploration of the site as it positions itself for production.
The Company expects to receive its mining license for K1 shortly.
