Global Li-Ion secures processing plant near Ambato Arana Graphite mine.
Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. (CSE: LION, OTCQB: GBBGF) has secured a processing plant near its Ambato Arana Graphite mine. The facility includes grinding, flotation, filtering, and drying sections, with historical production achieving 94% C graphite concentrate. Planned upgrades aim to improve concentration to 98% C with initial output of 5,000 tonnes/year, scaling to 15,000 tonnes/year alongside increased ore production.
The acquisition price will be determined by a third party. This development gains strategic importance as the US International Trade Commission has voted for 920% tariffs on Chinese graphite products, while the USGS reports zero US natural graphite production in 2024.
Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. (CSE: LION, OTCQB: GBBGF) ha acquisito un impianto di lavorazione vicino alla sua miniera di grafite di Ambato Arana. La struttura comprende sezioni di macinazione, flottazione, filtrazione e essiccazione, con una produzione storica che ha raggiunto il 94% di concentrazione di grafite C. Gli aggiornamenti pianificati mirano a migliorare la concentrazione al 98% di C, con una produzione iniziale di 5.000 tonnellate/anno, che aumenterà a 15.000 tonnellate/anno in parallelo con l'incremento della produzione di minerale.
Il prezzo di acquisizione sarà determinato da una terza parte. Questo sviluppo acquisisce importanza strategica poiché la Commissione per il Commercio Internazionale degli Stati Uniti ha votato per tariffe del 920% sui prodotti in grafite cinesi, mentre l'USGS riporta zero produzione di grafite naturale negli Stati Uniti nel 2024.

Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. (CSE: LION, OTCQB: GBBGF) hat eine Verarbeitungsanlage in der Nähe seiner Graphitmine Ambato Arana gesichert. Die Anlage umfasst Bereiche für Mahlen, Flotation, Filtration und Trocknung, wobei die historische Produktion 94% C Graphitkonzentrat erreicht hat. Geplante Verbesserungen zielen darauf ab, die Konzentration auf 98% C zu erhöhen, mit einer anfänglichen Produktion von 5.000 Tonnen/Jahr, die auf 15.000 Tonnen/Jahr skaliert wird, zusammen mit einer erhöhten Erzproduktion.
Der Erwerbspreis wird von einer dritten Partei festgelegt. Diese Entwicklung gewinnt strategische Bedeutung, da die US International Trade Commission für 920% Zölle auf chinesische Graphitprodukte gestimmt hat, während der USGS für 2024 null US-Produktion von natürlichem Graphit berichtet.
- Acquisition of existing processing plant reduces startup time and infrastructure costs
- Planned upgrade from 94% C to 98% C graphite concentration improves product quality

About Ambato-Arana Graphite Mine, Madagascar
The 3 forty-year renewable mining exploitation licenses that comprise the Project total 4,375 hectares (10,811 acres) are located in the vicinity of Andasibe in Toamasina Province in Madagascar, 20 km to the southwest of Sheritt’s large-scale nickel/cobalt laterite open pit mine at Ambatovy and 15 km northeast of the town of Moramanga from which national highway RN2 connects with capital city Antananarivo (114 km) and Madagascar’s main port of Toamasina (Tamatave) (240 km). Graphite was produced on the licenses, at a modest rate constrained by the technology employed on the licenses at that time, for roughly a century from 1910. Production was suspended by the previous owners due to a slump at the time in Global Graphite markets and with the deposits only partially mined. The deposits are now ready for larger scale exploitation with modern production techniques. They lie within the graphitic horizons of the highly prospective Manampotsy Formation and are associated with topographic highs that are exploited via free digging of lateritic ore and open pit mining, providing a lower cost exploitation without need for blasting. The graphite mineralization on the Project appears within well-defined north-south belts with interbedded graphite-rich friable layers. The geological layers of interest have continuity of several kilometres and exhibit a shallow dip angle. Sample data indicate good grade (up to
