- Green Battery is working on verifying that spheronization and coating of the Company’s graphite is achievable and will allow for a value-added end product.

Green Battery Minerals Inc. has a proven road accessible graphite resource located in Northern Quebec. The high grade resource outcrops at surface and the exceptional graphite quality is distinctive among the world’s known graphite deposits. Over the past five years the Company has discovered and developed its Berkwood Graphite Project which is characterised by a tendency for an unuasual abundance of extremely large flake size sizes when compared with other world graphite sources. These characteristics will permit the use of cleaner and greener purification process that reduces the use of hazardous materials. (NR Feb 7th 2019 and Aug 27th 2019). The Berkwood resource is outcropping on surface, which means there will be less waste rock removal and lower environmental impact, and ready reclamation of the project post mining. These qualities increase the economics of the project significantly as well as allow us to maintain our environmentally friendly business model. Green Battery is also pleased to state that the Company will benefit from existing extensive infrastructure including hydroelectric power, year-round maintained highways and local skilled workforce.
CEO Tom Yingling states: “The electrification of the world is occurring, and the Quebec government is behind the process and wants to ensure Quebec is a global leader in the development of the strategic commodity supply chain. Quebec is blessed with the minerals needed for Lithium Ion Batteries and the Province is located proximal to the North American car manufacturing industry. In addition the St Lawrence seaway provides direct access to global seaborne trade.”
