Northern Graphite Now Supplying Battery Anode Material Samples from LDI Graphite

Northern Graphite Corporation,  (the “Company” or “Northern”) is pleased to announce that a year after forming its battery division, the Company is providing three standard Battery Anode Material (“BAM“) products, as well as its patented Porocarb material, to makers of Lithium-Ion as well as All Solid State battery chemistries.

“This marks a major milestone toward our vertical integration into the battery supply chain as a truly mine-to-market company that is able to cater to specific battery makers’ needs,” said Chief Executive Officer, Hugues Jacquemin. “Our hard work is paying off and we are advancing in our mission to provide high-performance, sustainable, and locally sourced carbon solutions for the battery industry. Potential customers can now receive our battery anode material products according to the specific requirements of their battery chemistries.”

Northern’s Battery Materials Group (“NGCBM”) was formed a year ago through the acquisition of the assets and R&D team of the battery division of Germany’s Heraeus Group. The acquisition included licensing the IP to develop, produce, and sell Porocarb, a high-performance porous hard carbon material developed over the last 10 years and patented by Heraeus to enhance the efficiency and speed of energy storage mechanisms. Armed with a fully operational, state-of-the-art laboratory in Frankfurt, NGCBM is spearheading Northern’s mine-to-battery strategy and specializes in high-performance battery materials tailored to the evolving needs of EV battery makers and original equipment manufacturers to satisfy their unique battery requirements.

Graphite-based Battery Anode Material is the largest component of the Lithium-Ion batteries powering electric vehicles. Northern’s BAM demonstrator grades, produced using graphite from the Company’s cornerstone, Lac des Iles mine in Quebec, are engineered to drive battery performance and align with industry standards for particle size, tap density and surface area.

“We are now offering samples for testing and pre-qualification for three different BAM products, each with its own unique properties to enhance battery performance and efficiency,” said VP Innovation and Product Management Dr. Moritz Hantel. “This is a great step forward for Northern and its technology partners and our work to power the future of batteries and energy storage.”
