President and CEO, Craig Scherba commented,
'2021 was a transformative year for the Company, and we are very pleased to begin the New Year with the successful completion of the Factory Acceptance Testing of our Molo Processing Plant. We can now shift our focus to achieving our next major milestones for this year, which include completing site works, and the delivery, installation and commissioning of the Processing Plant'.
With the FAT process and final verification process now successfully completed, the Processing Plant will be dismantled and shipped to the mine site for installation.
Phase 1 of the Molo Graphite Mine is fully funded and when commissioned, will become one of the few operating graphite mines outside of China.
