Beowulf Mining (LSE:BEM) provided an update on its Graphite Anode Materials Plant (GAMP) project on Wednesday, highlighting recent progress in optimizing water treatment processes.

The AIM-traded company is advancing the project in collaboration with its wholly-owned Finnish subsidiary Grafintec and Dorfner Anzaplan. Key developments include a new water treatment flow-sheet designed to recycle over 90% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a crucial reagent for purifying battery-grade graphite.

The recycled NaOH has proven to be of high quality, making it suitable for reuse in producing graphite with purity levels exceeding 99.95%. The water treatment process also generates high-quality calcium carbonate, or lime, as a by-product. This lime can be used for neutralizing acidic wastewater and may also be sold to other industries, potentially adding further value to the process.

The ability to recycle and reuse NaOH is expected to lower the operating costs of the plant while minimizing its environmental impact, reflecting the company's commitment to sustainable practices in battery material production.

Chief Executive Officer Ed Bowie commented on the progress, stating, “Excellent progress continues to be made at GAMP. Much of the technical work related to the production of anode material is well-advanced, with recent efforts focused on optimizing water treatment and recycling processes.”

He noted that the recycling of NaOH at over 90% has surpassed expectations, positively impacting the overall project by reducing both input reagent costs and environmental impact.

As the pre-feasibility study and environmental impact assessment for the GAMP project move forward, further updates are anticipated in the coming months.
