EcoGraf has strengthened the technical and commercial case for its Tanzanian graphite strategy, including a larger Epanko ore reserve and planned downstream processing. But cash fell to A$3.8 million, and auditors flagged a material uncertainty over the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

EcoGraf’s preliminary review has identified potential to lift Epanko Stage 1 production from 73,000 to 87,600 tonnes per annum, while reducing first-10-year C1 costs by 5.8%. The higher-output case remains subject to further engineering, financing work and a Final Investment Decision.

EcoGraf has begun a European Investment Bank-funded study program worth up to €2 million to test expansion options for its Epanko graphite project and planned battery anode operations. The work could strengthen future financing and development decisions, but it remains a planning exercise rather than a construction commitment.

AngloGold Ashanti has completed a 2,659-sample soil geochemistry program at EcoGraf’s Golden Eagle project in Tanzania, with results now pending ahead of a planned drilling phase.

EcoGraf has partnered with NMB Bank to manage compensation payments for communities affected by its Epanko Graphite Project, marking a key step in early works on the Mine Access Road ahead of construction.

EcoGraf has signed a non-binding MOU with Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation to explore supplying up to 10,000 tonnes per annum of spherical graphite and natural flake graphite for battery anode materials, advancing its vertically integrated strategy.

EcoGraf Limited has initiated a US$9 million farm-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti at its Golden Eagle Project in Tanzania, alongside promising exploration results at the Hazina prospect.
