TEST BATTERY UPDATE
April 29, 2021, VANCOUVER, B.C. Green Battery Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: GEM, FSE: BK2P, WKN:
A2QENP, OTCQB: GBMIF) (“Gr een Battery” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a n update on
the building of their test battery, which is being made from graphite from their road accessible Berkwood
Graphite Project, northern Quebec.
GREEN BATTERY MINERALS’ mission and strategy is to become one of North America’s largest
producers of clean, environmentally friendly high-quality anode materials to be used in batteries for electric
vehicles and renewable energy storage.
The process of building a test battery from our graphite is underway.
Tom Yingling President and CEO states, “We are pleased to announce the large -scale purification process
so far is going as planned. Approximately two years ago we tested small samples and I am pleased to confirm
that we have recently reconfirmed success in large scale tonnage testing initially. So far, the results have
repeated themselves and we are very pleased to see such high -grade graphite that is easily separated and
purified. Proving back up and repeatability of these processes is essential in attracting Lithium Ion battery
manufacturers. One of the next steps will be purifying the Graphite to 99.95% purity, also previously done,
and creating the anode to be tested in Lithium Ion batteries.”
Development of our anode material for a Test Battery - This is under way. The process starts by
taking material from the ground, which contains graphite and host rock, and then purifying it with
the intentions on testing our graphite as the anode in a finished battery. Several of these steps have
already been confirmed two years ago and Green Battery has contracted another independent
laboratory to process several thousand tons of our Graphitic material on a much larger scale than the
precious laboratory. This will provide a much larger purified sample that we will send for further
purification to 99.95% which will allow us to send samples to battery manufactures. This second
independent laboratory will also produce a second back up of test results. This back up results
should assist in reaching out to Lithium Ion battery manufactures. The previous test results and
current repeat test results are as follows:
a. Extracting representative rock samples from the site: (Completed though our drill programs,
channel sampling and rock sampling)
b. Crushing the rock samples: Small sample completed two years ago and recently reconfirmed
successfully in large scale tonnage.
c. Floating the graphite in a high-grade concentrate from the host rock: Small sample
completed two years ago and recently reconfirmed successfully in large scale tonnage.
d. Purifying to 99.95% using the clean alkaline process: Small sample completed two years
ago and preparing large scale tonnage to be tested.
e. Spherization for battery use: (Still to be performed)
f. Coating of the spheres: (Still to be performed
g. Making an anode: (Still to be performed)
h. Testing our anode against other standard anodes: (Still to be performed)
The process of purifying graphite starts with the crushing of the host rock that contains the graphite. The
graphite flakes are then separated using flotation.
Base Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd., States:
To accomplish the concentrate generation, the process will be simulated in large batch or pilot
equipment. Flotation processing can include Hydrofloat or conventional flotation. Gravity
concentration will be performed on a Diester table.
Below is a visual of the process:
CORE FROM SAMPLING AND DRILL PROGRAMS:
The graphite bearing rock sample from our drill core and surface sampling were shipped to Base
Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd. These were then crushed, and the samples homogenized in four main
composites.
CRUSHING PROCESS:
Samples were ground in a rod mill to the various grind sizes and tested in conventional rougher flotation
tests. Cleaning and polishing tests are to follow.
Graphite before and after crushing.
FLOTATION SEPARATION:
Graphite floats, it is put into flotation baths and a number of different process are used to have the graphite
float to the top where it can then be removed.
Qualified Person: Mr. Dave Kelsch, P.Geo. is a Qualified Person (“QP”) as defined by National Instrument
43-101 guidelines, and he has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.
About the Company: Green Battery Minerals is managed by a team with over 150 years collectively with
a proven track record of not just finding numerous mines but building and operating them too. The Green
Battery Mineral management team’s most recent success is the discovery of the Berkwood Graphite resource
in Northern Quebec. Green Battery Mineral owns t his asset 100 percent and the Company’s shareholders
will benefit from this asset as the demand for Graphite for electric vehicles increases significantly.
