## Minestarters Atlas summary

Green Battery Minerals has successfully completed a dry air separation test of its Berkwood graphite using Volt Carbon Technologies' proprietary process. The test yielded 91.55% graphite content and preserved large/jumbo flake sizes, offering a greener, solventless alternative to traditional purification methods.

Reasoning: Successful metallurgical testwork using a novel dry separation process yielded high-grade graphite \(91.55% C\) while preserving premium flake size, verified by an independent lab.

- Positive factor: Successful dry separation test

- Positive factor: High graphite grades achieved

- Positive factor: Maintains large/jumbo flake size

- Positive factor: ESG positive \(solventless/reagentless\)

- Positive factor: Third-party verification provided

Facts used in scoring: 2

## Classification and evidence

**Free Milling**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Simple, clean ore amenable to standard processing without oxidation.

Why it applies: The process is described as a dry, solventless separation of graphite flakes.

Evidence · text

> The new process utilizes air as its separation medium, thereby omitting the use of solvents

**Single Domain Only**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Testing limited to one composite or domain — representativeness not established.

Why it applies: only one composite was tested

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
