Focus Graphite completed an eight-ton pilot at its 100%-owned Lac Knife project in Quebec, producing 850 kg of graphite concentrate for customer qualification.
Mechanical processing delivered concentrate grading 95% to 98.7% carbon, without chemical or thermal purification; pilot feed averaged 18.9% total carbon.
Results validated the Lac Knife flowsheet used in the 2023 feasibility update, which outlined 97.8% carbon concentrate at 90.7% graphite recovery.
Output is being allocated to high-purity graphite and battery anode material programs, targeting up to 99.99% carbon for downstream testing.
Funding of up to CAD 14.1 million in non-repayable NRCan contributions supports an electrothermal purification demonstration system using Lac Knife concentrate as feedstock.
