Renascor secures license for PSG purification process
KALGOORLIE (miningweekly.com) – ASX-listed Renascor Resources has entered into a licensing agreement with German battery mineral consultancy group Dorfner ANZAPLAN, allowing the company to use an eco-friendly purification process for its planned purified spherical graphite (PSG) manufacturing facility in South Australia.
“We have been working with Dorfner ANZAPLAN for several years to optimise our purification process to improve the efficiency of our planned battery grade PSG manufacturing facility in South Australia,” said Renascor MD David Christensen.
“The optimisation trials conducted with Dorfner ANZAPLAN have resulted in the development of a process that we expect will result in both greater operational efficiency and positive ESG outcomes by reducing water consumption.
“This improved purification process has been incorporated in the engineering and design for our recently completed battery anode material (BAM) study, with the results delivering a globally competitive estimated operating cost for producing PSG. We look forward to our continuing collaboration with Dorfner ANZAPLAN as we advance into construction and operation of an important new supply line for the lithium-ion battery industry.”
Renascor intends to integrate the Siviour graphite mine and concentrator operation with a BAM project, using concentrates from the Siviour mining operation to produce PSG for use in lithium-ion battery anodes.
Renascor is undertaking a number of workstreams on the BAM project, including an optimisation study to increase PSG production from the planned 28 000 t/y to use the maximum processing capacity approved by the Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation, and resource expansion drilling.
