Hexagon Resources achieves five-nines graphite purity, exceeds industry specs

Hexagon Resources Ltd's (ASX:HXG) follow-up purification test work on a large-scale graphite sample from its McIntosh Flake Graphite Project in Western Australia has yielded ultra-high purity (99.999%) graphite results.
Notably, the purity achieved from the 20-kilogram sample confirms the ability for McIntosh graphite to exceed the carbon purity specification for the nuclear graphite industry.
This further confirms and underpins Hexagon's downstream graphite strategy focused on low-cost purification targeting high-end specialty markets.
Hexagon's test work also confirmed virtually no notable concentrations of critical elements potentially deleterious to advanced batteries and to a number of other high-tech applications.
Hexagon managing director Mike Rosenstreich said: "Five-nines (99.999%) purification results for a 20-kilogram batch sample is another important outcome towards commercialising our downstream graphite process.
"We are targeting specific larger-scale markets. We have seen that our flake is easily purified, and when refined through the highly productive EFB furnace technology available to us, we expect to achieve an industry-leading low purification cost producing an ultra-high purity graphite material.
"The issue is not whether the material is 99.95% pure; but what is in that remaining 0.05% - with critical impurity specifications for each element generally at the 1 to 100 ppm level (ie .0001 wt.% and less).
"There is an increasing awareness of the importance of purity mitigating risks in high-tech applications."
