EcoGraf Limited (ASX: EGR; FRA: FMK; OTCQX: ECGFF) has appointed industry-experienced chemist Jurgen Gnoinski as manager for the development and commercialization of EcoGraf's downstream RF-free purification technology. The first commercial plant of its kind is expected to provide sustainable battery anode material (BAM) for the rapidly growing lithium-ion battery market. At the same time, EcoGraph is accelerating the development of its Epanko project in Tanzania. The company is aiming for a vertically integrated supply chain in the long term, from the extraction of high-grade natural graphite in Tanzania to the RF-free production of battery anode material.

Following recent meetings with the Tanzanian government (see news story "Tanzanian Government Visits Epanko's Graphite Project" dated March 9, 2023), further meetings will be held with anode and battery producers in South Korea and Japan to promote Tanzania's emerging position as a major global supplier of high-grade graphite and to discuss the company's ongoing collaboration with key battery market players.
