The service agreement with BIC will enable GMG to optimize BIC's cell design and battery manufacturing equipment during its scale up of battery production, thereby delaying capital expenditures for manufacturing capacity until battery development is further derisked.

GMG is very pleased to work with BIC on this next phase in the development of GMG's next generation battery.

Electrochemistry Optimisation

The Company is currently optimising the G+AI Battery pouch cell electrochemistry – which is a standard battery development process step (please see Battery Technology Readiness Level section below).

The Company has developed significant knowledge regarding the electrochemistry of the pouch cells since achieving the targeted 1 Ah cell capacity in February 2024.

The challenges faced by the G+AI Battery during this phase of its maturation are very similar to other battery chemistries that have been developed into mass production – including Lithium-Ion batteries.

The performance of the pouch cells will be communicated upon successfully producing a repeatable and 3rd party tested 1000 mAh+ battery pouch cell.

The Company is confident it can meet its overall timeline on the battery cell roadmap as seen in Figure 1 and as previously communicated.

Figure 1: Battery Cell Roadmap

To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/243059_e0db247a7453eaf3_004full.jpg

There are five steps in this optimisation process which the Company completes once per week in what it calls a "Sprint" as seen in Figure 2.

These are assembled in a standard step by step process – which is documented in the Company's operation manual of procedures for the Battery Development Process.

There are many different variations that can be trialled in a cell design which can include, but are not limited to, the following as seen in Figure 4:

Anode foil types and thicknesses
Improving cycle life
Cell assembly processes
Processing of the graphene for the Cathode Slurry
Coating of the Cathode Slurry
Variations in the Electrolyte
Charging and Discharging algorithms
Optimise nominal voltage and capacity
Types of Separators (different materials, suppliers and thicknesses)
Optimising of the weight of the materials

Typically, 5 of each battery design is made which ensures a statistical depth to the testing.

A total of 250 individual scientific experiments in pouch cells and near 1000 individual pouch cells were made from 2023 till the present date. The basic modelling of the battery is complete and the Company is now working on dynamic modelling of the battery to support multi variant optimization analysis.

Test Cell PerformanceOnce the Cell Performance is measured (on the charging/discharging stacks) there are certain performance parameters that are observed which include, but are not limited to, the following:- Capacity (mAh)- Nominal Voltage (Volts)- Number of Charging and Discharging Cycles (number)- Physical expansion or contraction of the cell- Physical changes to the cell

This data is then recorded and linked to the cell design and assembly process used to make the cell.

Compare Cell PerformanceThe objective of this step is to understand what design and cell assembly parameters, in an isolated test, have a repeatable causal change in cell performance.

Each Sprint usually focuses on a single variable in design or cell assembly – an example of a 3-week Sprint program is seen in Figure 5.

Figure 5: Sprint Program Example

Review Optimisation OptionsUpon reviewing optimisation options for the next Sprint, there are many parameters to consider. Often one design parameter of the cell or assembly process will positively improve one cell performance outcome but have a negative impact on another. As the Company optimises various performance outcomes of the battery cell – some of which are shown in Figure 6 – the Company needs to consider the various potential trade-offs on other performance outcomes.

Propose Next Cell Design (repeat Step 1 again)Once the Company has selected the design of the Cell parameters, it needs to test for optimisation. This involves repeating step 1 until a final design or variable is chosen.

1000 mAh Battery Cell Capacity Reached

The Company previously announced on the 6th of February 2024 it produced multiple battery pouch cells with over 1000 mAh (1 Ah) capacity, as seen in Figure 7. This was a major milestone achieved to demonstrate scalability from coin cells to pouch cells, and represented the next milestone in the battery's development, following the announcement of 500 mAh capacity in September 2023.

Battery Technology Readiness Level

The battery technology readiness level ("BTRL") of the Graphene Aluminium-Ion technology remains at Level 4 (see Figure 9). GMG is currently optimizing electrochemical behaviour for pouch cells via ongoing laboratory experimentation. Through collaboration with the BIC it is anticipated that the battery technology readiness will progress to BTRL 7 and 8 since the equipment and process needed to make the Graphene Aluminium-Ion batteries is the same as those employed to make Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Risk Analysis

It is worth noting though that we have found 6 warning signs for Graphene Manufacturing Group (3 don't sit too well with us!) that you need to take into consideration.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 24, 2025) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of the multi-year performance testing of G® Lubricant, a transformative graphene liquid concentrate additive designed to enhance the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. This product has the potential to reshape the future of the global liquid fuels industry and offers an innovative solution that optimizes efficiency and power for stationary or mobile engines.

Unleashing the Power of Graphene

G® Lubricant, a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine, has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in a diesel engine. The amount of graphene in the final lubricant once G® Lubricant is mixed in is only ~ 1:10,000, with the balance of the concentrate consisting of lubricating base oil. As a result, G® Lubricant can be used safely in any internal combustion engine. Over the past four years, GMG has conducted environmentally controlled testing of G® Lubricant in internal combustion engines monitored and verified by The University of Queensland. GMG's test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing.

Figure 1 below shows the high level fuel efficiency improvement provided by the G® Lubricant additive, while Figure 8 provides the detailed fuel testing parameters.

Figure 1: Diesel Engine Fuel Efficiency Improvement provided by G Lubricant

To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/242057_gmg2en.jpg

The data shows a clear increase in fuel efficiency performance from G® Lubricant when the load is increased on the engine. High loads for truck diesel engines are usually seen when the truck starts to move, and then at high speeds when encountering wind resistance. Usually stationary diesel engines for power generation operate at high load.

Exceptional Performance Confirmed by University of Queensland

GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "G® Lubricant has taken over 4 years of advanced product testing and is transformational for energy efficiency and emissions reduction for the liquid fuels industry – it is the culmination of decades of lubricants, engines, energy markets and graphene knowledge which is inherent in the GMG business. The next challenge to commercialise this product awaits – which we are eagerly preparing for."

GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "G® Lubricant's performance, which demonstrates an 8.4% improvement in fuel efficiency using only a very small amount of graphene in an easy to use graphene concentrate, is a 'Category Creator' that has the potential to redefine the multi trillion dollar liquid fuels market. The fact that only 1% of G® Lubricant is needed to achieve such savings provides a very attractive value proposition for fleet owners."

US$ 1.4 Trillion Global Diesel Industry

Whilst G® Lubricant can be used to reduce fuel consumption in both diesel and gasoline/petrol engines GMG intends to focus on the diesel market initially, which is largely B2B focused, and therefore, more targeted as far as fuel cost savings and performance. GMG calculates that global diesel fuel sales totalled US$1.4 Trillion per annum[2] including taxes and duties on approximately 28 million barrels of diesel per day as detailed by the EIA2. Figure 3 shows the top 34 countries in the world with diesel fuel sales greater than US$10 Billion per annum.

Detailed Equipment and Process for Testing G® Lubricant

The following describes the equipment used and the process followed by the Company in demonstrating the fuel saving demonstration of the G® Lubricant in the diesel engine generator:

A 30kVA (24 kW) Cummins diesel engine generator (with 14,784 hours of run time) as seen in Figure 5 and described in Figure 6 was purchased and setup in the GMG Richlands warehouse.
The generator was connected to a 40 kW power load bank which consumed the energy produced by the generator and created the load and a 500 litre self-contained fuel tank.
Two calibrated flow sensors were connected (inflow and return/outflow) to the fuel lines and to a data logger which recorded the fuel consumption.
An Energy Analyzer was used to log and track energy produced by the generator.
Tests were conducted on loads of 40%, 60% and 80% loads of the 40 kW power load bank – 12, 18, 24 kw respectively.
A baseline to record diesel fuel consumption under normal engine oil and operating conditions was completed with newly changed recommended premium diesel engine oil and a new oil filter. This oil change was carried out by a professional engine maintenance service company.
The engine was run at the different loads (40%, 60% and 80%) and the baseline and G® Lubricant data set used for the analytics is when the maximum ambient temperature for the day was less than 33 degrees Celsius and relative humidity was between 50% and 80% with no rain. Fuel consumption for diesel engines changes when operating in rain or very high humidity or temperatures, so the fuel consumption data baseline and G® Lubricant engine oil additive performance testing were excluded for these times.
Only steady state data was used and so any variance or anomalous data seen in either baseline or G® Lubricant datasets were removed from the analytics. Data sets were grouped into minute blocks.
Once the baseline fuel tests were completed, the engine oil was drained and the oil filters were replaced. G-Lubricant with approximately 1:100 concentration was mixed at approximately 1% ratio by weight with a new batch of the same premium recommended engine oil and added to the generator engine. The end ratio of GMG's Graphene to the diesel engine oil was approximately 1:10,000 by weight. The oil change was carried out by the same professional engine maintenance service company.

G® Lubricant Packaging

G® Lubricant is currently sold by GMG in different small pack sizes, a 500 ml pack is shown in Figure 5 which can be diluted into 50 litres of engine oil to provide improved engine performance. GMG intends to direct market the product to its targeted markets through various pack sizes for direct and bulk use.

Basis for Performance Improvement

As seen in Figure 9, G® Lubricant GMG improves fuel efficiency by creating less friction in the boundary layer lubrication of the pistons inside the cylinder block of the engine. It is widely accepted that approximately 30% of the fuel is used in an engine to overcome internal friction, and that approximately 60% of the engine friction is in the piston area. Graphene has also been seen to prevent wear and also fill in wear scars of an engine, helping to improve piston sealing.

Global Printed Circuit Board (PCB) production is projected[1] to reach 530 million square meters annually by the year 2030, or about 5.3 trillion printed circuit boards. As PCB density increases, higher current loads lead to more heat, with 5.2 billion units expected to require heat sinks for cooling. THERMAL-XR® coated on the heat sinks, enhances the heat sink efficiency, enabling smaller heat sinks and more compact PCB assemblies. The total amount of THERMAL-XR® that could be used for this application to improve performance is 26.5 million litres per annum by 2030, assuming 0.1% will use the coating.

GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "Heat sinks are a critical component of modern electronics, but they come with various challenges, especially as devices become smaller, faster, and more powerful. GMG's THERMAL-XR® offers a potential solution in heat sink miniaturization, enabling up to 39% size reduction while maintaining thermal performance. This has the potential to not only cut material costs but also unlock new opportunities for compact and efficient electronics designs, addressing the rising thermal management demands of the global printed circuit board market."

Unleashing the Power of Graphene

SUPER G® is a graphene slurry which has been developed by GMG over the last 3 years for GMG's own Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery which has unique properties of high electrical conductivity, low charge transfer resistance and high density compared to other carbon battery additives and materials used in lithium-ion batteries.

The Graphene comes from GMG's self-developed graphene production system and is then processed through a number of steps in the co-located pilot plant and finally into a liquid graphene product which we believe will be able to be added into or coated onto either a customer's lithium-ion battery cathode or anode production with a 0.5-2% dosage by weight.

GMG is currently engaged in confidential discussions with multiple battery manufacturers and industry players to explore the potential testing and supply of SUPER G®. These discussions underscore the growing demand for high-performance materials that can push the boundaries of energy storage technology.

Exceptional Performance Confirmed by Oxford University

A recent study conducted by Oxford University has confirmed the exceptional performance of GMG's SUPER G®. Key findings include:

SUPER G® demonstrates 2.5 times lower mean ionic resistivity compared to standard graphite, as shown in Figure 2. Lower pore ionic resistivity will improve battery efficiency, charge and discharge rates.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 23, 2024) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a technical update on the commercialisation progress of THERMAL-XR® Powered by GMG Graphene.

PRODUCT TECHNICAL UPDATETHERMAL-XR® has now successfully passed 15,000 hours for corrosion protection under a salt sea spray industry standard test (ASTM B117) in a third-party laboratory in the US as seen in Figure 1. The Company believes that THERMAL-XR® is one of the longest lasting corrosion protection coatings available on the market. The testing will continue, and further reports will be updated by the Company.

GMG can now accurately model and calculate the heat transfer rate expected from THERMAL-XR®, as compared to bare (uncoated) Aluminium, within 1% of actual results. This was reviewed and verified by the University of Queensland.

Figure 2 shows the simulation model used to calculate the heat transfer coefficients of bare aluminium, versus THERMAL-XR® coated aluminium, on the test rig that GMG built and operated to obtain the experimental data. The test was conducted at a temperature of approximately 100 degree Celsius.

To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/227525_gmg_figure2.jpg

Through this work, as shown in Figure 3, the Company has demonstrated that THERMAL-XR® provides approximately 8.6 times more radiative heat transfer than bare aluminium, due to its thermal radiation (passing of heat in wave forms) capabilities. THERMAL-XR® has been calculated to provide 8.15 W/m2K (Watts per metre squared Kelvin degrees), or approximately 1.44 Btu/hr ft2 F (British thermal units per hour foot squared Fahrenheit degrees), of heat transfer when applied properly on top of bare aluminium, as compared to 0.95 W/m2K or 0.17 Btu/hr ft2 for bare aluminium.

Figure 4 shows THERMAL-XR® increases the overall heat transfer coefficient by 2.2 times more than bare aluminium, from 6.0 W/m2K up to 13.2 W/m2K because of the increase in the thermal radiation from the THERMAL-XR® coating. This was conducted at a temperature of approximately 100 degree Celsius for a 100mm diameter flat plate.

Thermal Coefficient (W/m2K)	Bare Aluminium	THERMAL-XR® Coated Aluminium
Thermal Radiation	0.95	8.15
Natural Convection (Air Cooling)	5.08	5.08
Total Heat Transfer	6.0	13.2(2.2 Times)

Figure 4: NATURAL Convection Overall Thermal Coefficient of THERMAL-XR® versus bare aluminium

Figure 5 shows that THERMAL-XR® provides approximately 27% more heat transfer when including FORCED convection (fan air cooling) over bare aluminium from 26.6 W/m2K up to 33.8 W/m2K because of the increase in the thermal radiation from the THERMAL-XR® coating. This was conducted at a temperature of approximately 100 degree Celsius and with modelling of the air speed at an approximate 5 metres/second.

Thermal Coefficient (W/m2K)	Bare Aluminium	THERMAL-XR® Coated Aluminium
Thermal Radiation	0.95	8.15
Forced Convection (Fan Air Cooling)	25.71	25.71
Total Heat Transfer	26.6	33.8(27% Increase)

Just because a business does not make any money, does not mean that the stock will go down. For example, although software-as-a-service business Salesforce.com lost money for years while it grew recurring revenue, if you held shares since 2005, you'd have done very well indeed. But the harsh reality is that very many loss making companies burn through all their cash and go bankrupt.

So should Graphene Manufacturing Group (CVE:GMG) shareholders be worried about its cash burn? In this report, we will consider the company's annual negative free cash flow, henceforth referring to it as the 'cash burn'. The first step is to compare its cash burn with its cash reserves, to give us its 'cash runway'.

View our latest analysis for Graphene Manufacturing Group

Does Graphene Manufacturing Group Have A Long Cash Runway?

A cash runway is defined as the length of time it would take a company to run out of money if it kept spending at its current rate of cash burn. As at June 2024, Graphene Manufacturing Group had cash of AU$4.0m and such minimal debt that we can ignore it for the purposes of this analysis. Looking at the last year, the company burnt through AU$7.7m. Therefore, from June 2024 it had roughly 6 months of cash runway. To be frank, this kind of short runway puts us on edge, as it indicates the company must reduce its cash burn significantly, or else raise cash imminently. Depicted below, you can see how its cash holdings have changed over time.

debt-equity-history-analysisHow Is Graphene Manufacturing Group's Cash Burn Changing Over Time?

Although Graphene Manufacturing Group had revenue of AU$6.2m in the last twelve months, its operating revenue was only AU$295k in that time period. Given how low that operating leverage is, we think it's too early to put much weight on the revenue growth, so we'll focus on how the cash burn is changing, instead. Given the length of the cash runway, we'd interpret the 45% reduction in cash burn, in twelve months, as prudent if not necessary for capital preservation. Clearly, however, the crucial factor is whether the company will grow its business going forward. So you might want to take a peek at how much the company is expected to grow in the next few years.

How Easily Can Graphene Manufacturing Group Raise Cash?

While Graphene Manufacturing Group is showing a solid reduction in its cash burn, it's still worth considering how easily it could raise more cash, even just to fuel faster growth. Issuing new shares, or taking on debt, are the most common ways for a listed company to raise more money for its business. Many companies end up issuing new shares to fund future growth. By comparing a company's annual cash burn to its total market capitalisation, we can estimate roughly how many shares it would have to issue in order to run the company for another year (at the same burn rate).

Since it has a market capitalisation of AU$68m, Graphene Manufacturing Group's AU$7.7m in cash burn equates to about 11% of its market value. As a result, we'd venture that the company could raise more cash for growth without much trouble, albeit at the cost of some dilution.

So, Should We Worry About Graphene Manufacturing Group's Cash Burn?

Even though its cash runway makes us a little nervous, we are compelled to mention that we thought Graphene Manufacturing Group's cash burn reduction was relatively promising. Summing up, we think the Graphene Manufacturing Group's cash burn is a risk, based on the factors we mentioned in this article. Taking a deeper dive, we've spotted 5 warning signs for Graphene Manufacturing Group you should be aware of, and 2 of them are concerning.

The newly commissioned Graphene Production Plant as seen in Figure 1 has been operating and producing Graphene since its commissioning date in December 2023.

The performance of the production unit has exceeded the Company's expectations in both graphene production rate and graphene quality. The Company continues to perform minor optimisations with this new production plant which have both increased production yield and quality of the graphene.

The Company has also authorised a total of AU$250k of capital expenditure for new equipment for quality assurance and quality control purposes of the Company's graphene for its Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery and its liquid graphene products, THERMAL-XR® and G® Lubricant. The equipment being procured by the Company includes: a Raman Spectrometer and a Particle Size Analyzer amongst others. These are sophisticated analytical and characterisation laboratory equipment which will be operated by GMG scientists and technicians. To date the Company has been fortunate to work with various Universities to obtain this analysis. Once the equipment is procured, delivered, commissioned and operational the Company will largely be self-sufficient on testing of its nano materials.

GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited to see the new modular plant exceed expectations in terms of graphene production and quality. The expansion of our graphene characterisation equipment will also reduce learning loop times for optimisation projects where we no longer have to wait for University equipment access. The graphene production system uses GMG's self developed innovative plasma technology which creates the high quality graphene GMG's end products need to deliver their notable benefits."

GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "It is great to see the Company's production technology maturing to this point as this is GMG's fundamental core competency. Ongoing graphene production and characterisation developments will only support the Company's ability to develop and provide its useful liquid graphene products and Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery."

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 6, 2024) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the latest progress update on its Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology ("G+AI Battery") being developed by GMG and the University of Queensland ("UQ").

Notably, this update includes information about GMG's G+AI Battery regarding:

Electrochemistry Optimisation
1000 mAh Battery Cell Capacity Reached (Previously)
Battery Technology Readiness Level
Next Steps Toward Commercialisation and Market Applications
Next Generation Battery Performance
Important Milestones for GMG's Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery Development

Electrochemistry Optimisation

The Company has developed significant knowledge regarding the electrochemistry of the pouch cells since achieving the targeted 1 Ah cell capacity in February 2024.

The challenges that the G+AI Battery are showing through this phase of its maturation are very similar to other battery chemistries that have been developed into mass production – including Lithium-Ion batteries.

The performance of the pouch cells will be communicated upon successfully producing a repeatable and 3rd party tested 1000 mAh+ battery pouch cell.

The Company is confident it can meet its overall timeline on the battery cell roadmap as seen in Figure 1 as previously communicated.

Figure 1: Battery Cell Roadmap

There are five steps in this optimisation process which the Company completes once per week in what it calls a "Sprint" as seen in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Optimisation Weekly Sprint Process

Make Cell

The major components of the G+AI Battery are:Cathode: Graphene, binder and solvent (water or another solution) layered on a metal foil cathode substrate.Anode: Aluminium foilElectrolyte: Aluminium Chloride and ionic fluid (Urea or another solution)Separator: Separator

These are assembled in a standard step by step process – which is documented in the Company's operation manual of procedures for the Battery Development Process.

There are many different variations that can be trialed in a cell design which can include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Processing of the graphene- Type of Cathode Solvent- Type of Cathode Binder- Cathode thickness- Various Ionic Fluids in the Electrolyte- Various mixes of Electrolyte components- Types of Separators (different materials, suppliers and thicknesses)- Various Cathode preparation variations- Various Cell Assembly process variations- Charging and Discharging algorithms (including charging voltage, current and time)- Formation Processes

Typically, 5 of each battery design is made which ensures a statistical depth to the testing.

Test Cell Performance

Once the Cell Performance is measured (on the charging/discharging stacks) there are certain performance parameters that are observed which include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Capacity (mAh)- Nominal Voltage (Volts)- Number of Charging and Discharging Cycles (number)- Physical expansion or contraction of the cell- Physical changes to the cell

This data is then recorded and linked to the cell design and assembly process used to make the cell.

Compare Cell Performance

The objective of this step is to understand what design and cell assembly parameters, in an isolated test, have a repeatable causal change in cell performance.

Each Sprint usually focuses on a single variable in design or cell assembly – an example of a 3-week Sprint program is seen in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Sprint Program Example

Review Optimisation Options

Upon reviewing optimisation options for the next Sprint, there are many parameters to consider. Often one design parameter of the cell or assembly process will positively improve one cell performance outcome but have a negative impact on another. As the Company optimises various performance outcomes of the battery cell – some of which are shown in Figure 4 – the Company needs to consider the various potential trade-offs on other performance outcomes.

Figure 4: Battery Optimisation Process

Propose Next Cell Design (repeat Step 1 again)

Once the Company has selected the design of the Cell parameters, it needs to test for optimisation. This involves repeating step 1 until a final design or variable is chosen.

1000 mAh Battery Cell Capacity Reached

The Company previously announced on the 6th February 2024 it produced multiple battery pouch cells with over 1000 mAh (1 Ah) capacity, as seen in Figure 5. This was a major milestone achieved to demonstrate scalability from coin cells to pouch cells, and represented the next milestone in the battery's development, following the announcement of 500 mAh capacity in September 2023.

At the same time, GMG is reviewing a potential investment for the procurement and installation of an automated pouch cell battery pilot plant in its Richlands Australia Facility. The Pilot Plant will enable the Company to produce pouch cells for potential customers to test in battery packs for different applications. Following the successful start-up of the Pilot Plant and successful customer trials, GMG expects to pursue large scale commercial production, as seen in Figure 7.

Battery Technology Readiness Level

The battery technology readiness level ("BTRL") of the Graphene Aluminium-Ion technology remains at Level 4 (see Figure 8). GMG is currently optimizing electrochemical behaviour for pouch cells via ongoing laboratory experimentation. If GMG invests, constructs and commissions a Pilot Plant it is anticipated that the battery technology will progress to BTRL 7 and 8 since the equipment and process needed to make the Graphene Aluminium-Ion batteries is the same as those employed to make Lithium Ion Batteries.

Next Steps Toward Commercialisation & Market Applications

The Company continues to see a broad range of applications for a completed GMG Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery – utilising its ultra-high power-density and nominal energy density characteristics. Along with Rio Tinto, a range of global companies have confidentially expressed their interest in working with GMG in the following vertical sectors:

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 26, 2023) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update as to relevant changes following the recent Battery Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with Rio Tinto (17th May 2023) and the growing sales of Energy Saving products. These changes are designed to further align development activities and support the progression of the Battery JDA and the ongoing expansion of Thermal-XR sales following the recently announced distribution agreements (24th May 2023).

The Company had been working in parallel to progress its Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery technically while also seeking feedback from customers as to the highest priority applications. It became clear that pouch cell, rather than coin cell, batteries were of greatest interest to potential key customers. It is also clear that the progression of the battery from the current Battery Technology Readiness Level (BTRL) Level 2-3, (Scientific Proof of Concept into Electrochemical Development) could be accelerated by having key potential customer partners help define operating and design characteristics.

Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/167657_6db1225214b69ae7_001full.jpg

The JDA with Rio Tinto crystalises both elements of obtaining feedback from customers and progressing the battery's technical development. It further provides a clear development roadmap including use specifications, development targets. In the battery industry it typically takes 3 years or more to move from Phase 1 to Phase 3 when using existing battery production manufacturing systems, materials and equipment as GMG expects to utilise.

GMG is currently making single layer pouch cells to proceed to a 5 layer pouch cell testing and expects to have a >25 Layer Pouch Cell Prototype by H1 2024.

Figure 2To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/167657_gmg2en.jpg

In the context of this strategic move, the Company is aligning its organisation by having all scientific, product development and operations teams combined under the Chief Operating Officer. The mandate for the sale of all products is now the responsibility of the General Manager Sales. This will provide a stronger battery deep science to product performance linkage, prioritise activities and leverage learning across all product performance and also a streamlined engagement with customers with a single point of call for all products.

In addition, the Chief Financial Officer, Frederick Kotzee, after leading a successful raise last year and supporting the company's strategic steps of establishing sales and selecting a battery development focus, has decided to leave the company and resign as a Director due to a desire to move back to the resources sector and/or more flexible work arrangements effective on 31 July 2023 and hence the company has commenced an executive search for his replacement. We thank Frederick for all his work to get us into our current position over the previous year and we wish him well in his future endeavours.

The Company has also recently secured an additional 1,200 square metres of laboratory, storage and office space adjacent to the existing factory, to support the increasing analysis and development work needed for ongoing battery development. The additional facilities will also improve logistics for production, storage and dispatch of anticipated TXR and Lubricants sales, and support the technical development of potential new applications for energy saving TXR and Lubricants.

The previously announced upgraded, expanded and relocated Phase 1 graphene manufacturing project is underway, although completion is expected to be delayed until the second half of 2023. Costs have also increased to around A$2m, as a result of inflation and some scope changes. The Company is also considering further upgrade to its Battery Development Centre (BDC) and related equipment, including any relevant needs arising from the Rio Tinto JDA.

GMG's 4 critical business objectives remain to:

Produce Graphene and improve/scale the production process

Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products

Develop Next-Generation Battery

Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability
