NextSource Materials Announces New Corporate Presentation
NextSource Materials Announces New Corporate Presentation
TORONTO, Oct. 08, 2019 -- NextSource Materials Inc. (TSX:NEXT) (OTCQB:NSRCF) (“NextSource” or “the Company”) would
like to inform investors that a new corporate presentation is now available on its website at www.nextsourcematerials.com that
contains current information on the Company's activities regarding its 100%-owned and fully permitted Molo Graphite Project in
southern Madagascar.
NextSource announced on September 27 th the robust results of its 2019 Feasibility Study (“FS”), which outlines a phased
development approach with Phase 1 producing 17,000 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) of high-quality SuperFlake™ concentrate per
year over the first two years of production and Phase 2 producing a total of 45,000 tpa by year three.
Both phases will utilize the Company’s unique, fully modular build approach that will greatly reduce the build time and
associated costs in relation to conventional mine construction and ensures that the Company maintains a first-mover
competitive advantage over the competition. As reported, the capital mine cost (“CAPEX”) for Phase 1 will be US$21.0M with
Phase 2 CAPEX being an additional US$39.1M, for a total project cost of US$60.1M.
This re-confirms that the Molo project will have one of the lowest all-in CAPEX costs versus its competitors while maintaining
lowest-quartile operating costs (“OPEX”) and yielding optimal cashflow and return metrics with suitable flexibility to enable a
rapid response to the anticipated market demand for graphite.
As previously reported to the market, the Company has an off-take agreement in place with a prominent Japanese trader,
whom is a major supplier of flake graphite to Japan’s largest battery processor and manufacturer of graphite anode material in
lithium ion batteries (“LiB”) for electric vehicle applications. NextSource is currently in the process of formalizing an additional
sales agreement with a leading European trader.
