Feedback on U.S. Department of Defense award funding​

International Graphite Limited (ASX: IG6) is pleased to advise that it has received positive feedback from the U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Industrial Base Consortium on its proposal for up to US$7.5 million in potential feasibility study funding for the Company’s integrated graphite ‘Mine to Market’ strategy.

A white paper proposal “Addressing Shortfalls in the U.S. Graphite Supply Chain and Defense Industrial Base” was submitted by the Company to DIBC pursuant to Open Announcement-24-01-064.

It sought funding of up to US$7.5 million to complete feasibility studies that would seek to confirm the viability of the Springdale Graphite Project and downstream processing facilities. The Company’s mine to market strategy could help the U.S. diversify its graphite supply chains in favour of one of the most stable, secure and reliable jurisdictions in the world – Western Australia.

▪ Expandable graphite is created when natural flake graphite is treated with intercalating agents, which are usually acids inserted between the graphite layers
▪ When heated, these intercalated compounds rapidly vaporise, forcing the graphite layers apart and expanding the material by up to 300 times its original volume creating a lightweight, insulating carbon structure.
