Gratomic: Leading the pack in high-quality graphite production raceStephan Bogner
There may never be a more pivotal time to take advantage of the investment opportunity offered within the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. With lithium carbonate prices having sky-rocketed to what Elon Musk calls “insane levels“, Bloomberg recently noted that lithium prices are showing signs of losing momentum. While all eyes still appear to be on the lithium market at the moment, investors sooner or later may jump on the graphite bandwagon as the fundamentals for this battery-critical mineral are arguably even hotter. As the current lithium supply deficit is forecasted to go back into surplus by 2025, the story looks all the more different for graphite as its supply deficit is expected to more than triple from 10% this year to 32% in 2025. New graphite supply is urgently needed, which is however not as easy as increasing lithium output. When investors realize that graphite is the most crucial bottleneck for global adoption of EVs, graphite exploration and mining companies such as Gratomic Inc. are poised to become the “go-to place“ for the creation of shareholder value in the EV supply chain.

1) Vancouver mining companies are scrambling to acquire graphite mining projects around the world due to increased demand for graphite from electric vehicles and new Chinese export restrictions.
2) Graphite prices have risen significantly in recent years from $500-600 per tonne to $2,500-3,000 per tonne, spurring a rush of junior mining companies to acquire graphite projects.
3) Experts warn that due to the large number of companies entering the graphite mining sector, serious projects need to focus on deposits that can be mined via open-pit and have high-grade, large flake graphite to have the best chances of success.
Industrial Minerals Magazine spoke to Ryan Fletcher, director of investment company Zimtu Capital Corp., about graphite's growing prominence in the finance industry and investor confidence in commodities.
MGI Securities Initiates Coverage on Northern GaphiteGraphite Graphite
- Northern Graphite owns the Bissett Creek graphite deposit in Ontario, Canada which is close to infrastructure and markets.
- Testing showed the deposit can produce a high-purity, large flake graphite concentrate, 50% of which is premium "jumbo" flake.
- There is potential to produce spherical graphite which commands an even higher price for use in lithium-ion batteries.
- The analyst initiates coverage with a Buy rating and 12-month target price of $3.50 per share based on a discounted cash flow valuation.

4. Graphite Production
Large-flake, high-purity graphite has the most
diverse application in the market today
China produces over 70% of the world’s
graphite or about 800,000 tons per year
– Mainly low-carbon, low-value powder or small
flake
– Declining production/exports and increasing
costs
– Emphasis on value-added processing
– Export taxes, VAT, and export licenses imposed
The industrial world is recognizing the
importance of reliable and stable graphite
supply
– Potential shift in major production locations as
China’s resource continues to deplete
– India and Brazil follow China in the next largest
countries of production
– Listed as a “supply critical mineral” in USA and
European Union and as a “strategic mineral”
4
5. Graphite Consumption
Global consumption of natural graphite has
increased from ~600,000 tons in 2000 to 1.1 M
tons in 2011
– Global graphite reserves are thought to be around 71
million tons
– Flake graphite production is approximately 400,000
tons per year
Demand from BRIC* and emerging economies has
been growing at about 5% per annum between
2000 – 2010, contributing to the rising price of
graphite today
“Large-scale fuel-cell applications are being
developed that could consume as much graphite
as all other uses combined” – USGS, 2009
*BRIC – Brazil, Russia, India, China

6. Graphite Prices
Price Chart
Source: Industrial Minerals Magazine
Prices have almost tripled since 2005 due to: US$ per tonne (94 – 97% Carbon):
– Industrialization of BRIC – Large Flake - $2,500 – 3,000 (+80 mesh)
– Strong demand from traditional steel and – Medium Flake - $2,200 – 2,500 (+100-80 mesh)
automotive markets – Fine Flake - $2,000 – 2,400 (-100 mesh)
– Increasing demand as China’s production and
exports decline

7. Emerging Applications
Some of the uses that are driving demand for graphite:
Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactor Advantages
– No meltdown by design
– Lower capital and operating costs
– More efficient with the use of heat and fuel
Lithium-Ion Batteries Advantages
– Smaller, lighter and more powerful than traditional batteries
– Li-Ion battery demand for graphite in the next 5 to 7 years will
consume more graphite than is produced in total today
– Used in all types of electric vehicles with 10 - 20x more graphite than
lithium used
– Only flake graphite is conducive to making Li-Ion batteries
Fuel Cell Advantages
– 80kg of graphite is used in the average fuel cell vehicle
– Fortune 500 companies are targeting fuel cell markets for non-
transportation uses

8. Future Auto-Sector Predictions
“Combined global sales of hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs),
plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery-electric
vehicles (BEVs) will total 5.2 million units in 2020, or some
7.3% of the 70.9 million passenger vehicles forecasted to be
sold worldwide by that year” (estimate only)
“Global HEV, PHEV and BEV sales in 2010 are forecasted to
total 954,500 vehicles, or 2.2% of the 44.7 million vehicles
projected to be sold through the end of 2010.”
- J.D. Power Global Forecasting, 2010
“As battery manufacturers grow with the burgeoning
automotive lithium battery industry, these manufacturers will
need a stable supply of raw materials. Increasingly, they are
looking for graphite outside of China. Today, there is annual
demand for roughly 1.1 million tonnes of natural graphite …
but 960,000 tonnes of that capacity comes from China. This
leaves customers largely dependent on China as a source of
supply.”
