NGX makes appointments to drive graphite downstream strategy
African graphite explorer NGX has appointed Peter Fox and Surinder Ghag to lead and manage the company’s downstream qualification processes and development strategy for producing battery anode material from its natural flake projects in Malawi.
With these appointments, NGX’s plans to establish a downstream processing pathway to supply anode materials for lithium-ion battery production, taking advantage of the exceptional natural qualities of its low-impurity and low-cost graphite projects, owing to their soft friable saprolite geology.
“Attracting highly experienced individuals like Mr Fox and Dr Ghag to NGX is a testament to the quality of the Malingunde project,” said executive director Matt Syme.
Fox is a corporate finance executive with experience managing and developing external stakeholder relationships and driving business growth. He has previously developed and executed a downstream strategy for a European graphite project, establishing key collaborations with major technology partners.
Ghag is a metallurgist, who has developed ore-to-anode graphite strategies, anode plant feasibility studies, and project development and commissioning for multiple graphite projects worldwide. Recently, Ghag was instrumental in developing an environment-friendly and commercially-viable method for purifying graphite, working alongside the Australian government scientific research entity CSIRO. He is also a consultant for Sovereign Metals where he is assisting the company’s strategy in qualifying the graphite product from its Kasiya rutile-graphite project.
