Graphene Manufacturing Group approves A$1.4 million to complete second-generation production plant Proactive uses images sourced from Shutterstock
Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF), the Brisbane-based clean technology company, has approved a further A$1.4 million investment to complete construction of its second-generation graphene manufacturing plant, which is expected to be operational by the middle of this year.
The additional capital brings the total cost of the Generation 2.0 plant to approximately A$2.3 million and was largely anticipated in the proceeds of a bought deal financing the company completed in March 2025, which raised C$5.8 million.
The new facility is designed to produce 10 tonnes of graphene per annum and is intended to run largely on self-generated power, drawing on renewable energy sources, a battery storage system and hydrogen-enriched natural gas recovered from its own production process.
Graphene is a form of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice.
Because of its exceptional strength, electrical conductivity and thermal properties, it has attracted significant interest as an additive across a range of industrial and clean-technology applications, including battery manufacturing, lubricants and heating and cooling systems.
Craig Nicol, chief executive and managing director, said the company was excited by progress to date and confident the plant would be delivered on time and within budget. Chairman Jack Perkowski said a successful outcome would underpin the company's longer-term expansion plans.
Separately, Graphene Manufacturing Group provided additional context on its most recent quarterly financial results, seeking to clarify a non-cash accounting item that affected its reported figures.
The company holds 18.6 million share purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Because its functional currency is the Australian dollar, international accounting standards require these warrants to be classified as a derivative financial liability and revalued at fair value at each reporting period.
During the second quarter of its 2026 financial year, the company's share price rose 178%, which under accounting rules increased the calculated value of the warrant liability and generated a corresponding non-cash loss in its income statement.
The company stressed that the adjustment has no effect on its cash position or operations. Its cash balance at 31 December 2025 was AU$13.9 million, up from A$7.7 million six months earlier, and its underlying net assets excluding the warrant liability stood at a positive AU$21.5 million.
Since the end of the quarter, approximately 2.9 million warrants were exercised, generating gross proceeds of AU$3.6 million and further reducing the liability.
Technology Graphene Production Plant with Capacity of 10 Tons Per Annum
Brisbane, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 2, 2026) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors of GMG has approved the investment of an additional AU$1.4 million, which is expected to complete the construction of the Company's Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant (the "Gen 2.0 Plant") capable of producing 10 tons of graphene per annum. The total capital cost for the Gen 2.0 Plant is an estimated AU$2.3 million, an expenditure that was largely included in the proposed use of proceeds for the March 2025 Bought Deal Financing of C$5,796,000.
The Company's Board is happy with progress to date and is confident that the Gen 2.0 Plant project is on track to meet its original budget and expectation to be online by the middle of 2026. The early work and procurement of the long lead items is substantially complete, and engineering and design has commenced.
The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation that utilizes renewable sources, an energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas provided by tail gas power generation.

GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited with the progress to date of the Gen 2.0 project and are looking forward to bringing the plant online – on time and on budget."
GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "A successful Gen 2.0 project will form the basis for the Company's future expansion plans."
Quarterly Financial Results Update
The Company is pleased to provide a further update to its most recent Quarterly Financial Results as published and filed on March 2, 2026. The Company's results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This news release may include certain Non-IFRS measures as reported in the Company's Quarterly Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") that are used internally by management to assess the underlying operational performance of our business.
Understanding the Non-Cash Warrant Liability
As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 18.6 million outstanding share purchase warrants with exercise prices denominated in Canadian dollars. Because GMG's functional currency is the Australian dollar, IFRS accounting standards require these warrants to be treated as a derivative financial liability and revalued at fair value each reporting period.
During Q2 FY2026, GMG's share price increased 178%, a strong performance that reflects growing market confidence. However, under IFRS, this share price increase results in a higher calculated fair value for the warrant liability, which in turn generates a non-cash loss in the Company's statement of profit or loss and a corresponding increase in total liabilities on the balance sheet.
Key Points for Shareholders:
-
This accounting adjustment is entirely non-cash and does not affect GMG's cash position, operations, or business fundamentals.
-
The Company's cash balance at December 31, 2025 was A$13.9 million, up from A$7.7 million at June 30, 2025.
-
Excluding the warrant liability, the Company's underlying net assets position at December 31, 2025 was positive A$21.5 million.
-
The warrant liability decreases when warrants are exercised (converting the liability to equity and adding cash), or when the warrants expire or when the share price declines. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, approximately 2.9 million warrants were exercised for gross proceeds of A$3.6 million, further strengthening the Company's cash position and reducing the warrant liability by a corresponding amount.
Management views the warrant liability as a technical accounting matter that does not reflect the Company's operational performance or strategic progress. The Company's market capitalization at December 31, 2025 was approximately USD$200 million.
Non-IFRS Measures
A Non-IFRS measure that the Company refers to in its MD&A is EBITDA, which is revenue before finance costs, tax, depreciation and amortization, and after adjusting for certain non-cash items and other earnings adjustment items. The Company believes that EBITDA provides useful information to assess the operational performance of the business, however, Non-IFRS measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS, have not been subject to audit, and should not be considered as an indication of or alternative to an IFRS measure of financial performance.

The following table provides the reconciliation of the underlying loss for the period and adjusted basic diluted loss per share, as adjusted and calculated by the Company. This reconciliation adjusts for the non-cash change in fair value of warrants which is included in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (TSXV:GMG) just put its graphene aluminium ion battery breakthrough front and center, highlighting full charges in under six minutes and a potential lithium free alternative that could matter for EVs, grids, and high demand devices.
See our latest analysis for Graphene Manufacturing Group.
The battery reveal has arrived alongside a powerful rebound in market sentiment, with a 30 day share price return of 65.71 percent feeding into a 176.19 percent year to date share price gain, even though the three year total shareholder return remains negative. This suggests that momentum is building, while the longer term risk profile is still front of mind.
If this kind of speculative breakthrough has your attention, it could be a good moment to see what else is emerging in high growth tech and AI stocks.
But with GMG still pre revenue, yet trading at a sharp premium to today’s fundamentals and a discount to analyst targets, are investors looking at a rare early stage buying opportunity, or is the market already discounting years of growth?
Price to Book of 20.6x, Is it justified?
GMG trades at CA$1.74, and the market is effectively valuing its equity at 20.6 times its book value, a clear premium to peers.
The price to book ratio compares the company’s market value to its net assets. It is a common yardstick for early stage, asset light innovators where earnings are still negative but the balance sheet underpins the story.
For GMG, a 20.6 times price to book suggests investors are paying well above the value of its current net assets in anticipation of future commercialisation of graphene based products and batteries, rather than what the company has already delivered financially.
That premium stands out sharply against the North American electrical industry average of 2.7 times. This implies GMG may need to translate its technology into meaningful revenue and profits over time to support a valuation multiple almost an order of magnitude higher than typical sector peers.
See what the numbers say about this price — find out in our valuation breakdown.
Result: Price to Book of 20.6x (OVERVALUED)
However, GMG remains pre revenue and loss making, so any delay in commercialising its graphene products or battery tech could quickly puncture recent optimism.
Find out about the key risks to this Graphene Manufacturing Group narrative.
Another View on Value
While the market prices GMG at 20.6 times book, our DCF model paints a different picture. It suggests fair value around CA$5.21, which is roughly 66.6 percent above today’s CA$1.74 share price. Is the market still underestimating the long runway for graphene commercialisation?
Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.

What Is Graphene Manufacturing Group's Investment Narrative?
To own Graphene Manufacturing Group today, you really have to believe that its graphene aluminium‑ion battery can graduate from lab success to commercial product before the company’s thin A$237,672 revenue base and ongoing A$8.57 million annual losses bite too hard. The latest six‑minute full‑charge announcement and 2026–2027 testing and production timeline sharpen the near‑term story: catalysts now lean more toward battery milestones and customer trials than incremental sales of THERMAL‑XR and G‑LUBRICANT. At the same time, the stock’s very large 1‑year return suggests a lot of this optimism may already be reflected in the price, even as auditors highlight going‑concern risks and recent dilution and insider selling remind investors how dependent GMG remains on external funding. The news lifts the opportunity, but it also raises the execution bar.
However, one funding and liquidity risk stands out that investors should be aware of.

Brisbane, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 15, 2025) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the latest progress update on the Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery technology ("G+AI") being developed by GMG and the University of Queensland ("UQ") under a Joint Development Agreement with Rio Tinto, one of the world's largest metals and mining groups, and with the support of the Battery Innovation Center of Indiana ("BIC") in the United States of America.
Based on its current state of development as reflected below, the GMG G+AI Battery has similar performance characteristics to those provided by High Power Lithium Titanate Oxide ("LTO") batteries, which are sold at a premium price of up to US$1500/kWh. However, the GMG G+AI Battery can be produced at a substantially lower cost and therefore can be priced below that of LTO batteries. In 2025, sales of LTO batteries, which are used in many applications globally, totalled US$ 5.6[1] billion.
Battery Performance Update:
GMG is pleased to announce that it has progressed its G+AI Battery technology and believes that, once development is completed, it can meet the key target specification requirements for the main targeted battery use case as per Figure 1, including:
- Charging in under 6 minutes;
- Energy density > 100 Wh/kg after 1 hour of charging;
- Long Cycle Life (10,000 cycles);
- Safe (no Lithium);
- Lower Thermal Runaway Risk; and
- Likely no thermal management system will be needed.
Bob Galyen, GMG Non-Executive Director, commented: "In my nearly five decades in the battery industry, I have rarely seen a technology with the disruptive potential of GMG's next-generation graphene aluminium-ion battery. With the possibility of charging from empty to full in around six minutes, this chemistry fundamentally changes how designers can think about electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and stationary storage. Instead of planning around long charge stops with large packs, engineers can optimise for rapid energy turnaround, with higher power, and safer, with GMG's battery made from abundant raw materials. Lithium-ion will remain a key part of the energy landscape for years to come, but its limitations in fast charging, temperature tolerance, and critical-mineral supply are increasingly evident. By leveraging aluminium and graphene, the GMG team is demonstrating a pathway to reduce reliance on traditional lithium-based systems while delivering step-change improvements in charge time and power density. This is not an incremental tweak to existing cells – it is a new platform that can open markets and use cases that were previously uneconomic or impractical. As GMG moves from the lab toward scaled manufacturing, its primary focus is on proving reliability, safety, and cost at industrial level. Automotive, grid, and specialty-device partners are already engaging with GMG to explore pilot programs and early integrations. The companies that adapt quickest to this shift will lead the next wave of electrification, and GMG intends to be at the centre of that transition with graphene aluminium-ion technology."

GMG is pleased to share the energy densities of the current GMG G+AI pouch cell at 60 minutes and 6-minute charging compared to other chemistry batteries on the market (Figure 2), and a voltage vs capacity graph (Figure 3) of its latest G+AI Battery technology based on data provided by the third-party BIC battery testing laboratory.
Based on that testing, the current stage of development, batteries produced by GMG and BIC had an energy density of 58 Wh/kg when charged in 1 hour and 26 Wh/kg when charged in 6 minutes. In 6-minute fast charging, the battery cells achieved 62% capacity in 3.2 minutes. The batteries had a nominal voltage of approximately 3.0 Volts and maintained performance over hundreds of cycles at 6-minute fast charging, without the significant degradation typically observed in lithium and sodium-ion batteries at such high charging rates.

Standard commercial Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt ("LNMC") and Lithium Iron Phosphate ("LFP") battery cells for electric vehicles and stationary storage are not designed for continuous 6-minute charging (10C); typical recommended charge rates are ≤1 hour (1C), often 2 hours (0.5C), with only limited fast charge operation. Only specialized high-power cell designs like LTO battery cells can tolerate charge rates of 6 minutes (10C).[3]

GMG has now developed a completely new hybrid electrolyte that is chloride free and noncorrosive, unlike common aluminium battery electrolytes, along with a complex cathode and anode technology that enables very stable fast charging over several cycles. The substrate for both the cathode and anode in the GMG G+AI Battery is aluminium foil – which provides significant cost and weight savings compared with copper, the substrate material used in most lithium and sodium-ion batteries. GMG's technology does not include the use of lithium or copper. The Company has submitted an additional patent application covering these new developments.
Craig Nicol, GMG Managing Director and CEO, commented: "I couldn't be happier with the GMG team to get to this point with our battery. We have rebuilt this battery in our weekly sprints from the ground up and developed completely new complex cathode, anode and electrolyte. This will provide a next generation fast charging battery technology currently not available in the world, and we look forward to sending out sample cells to test with partners in early 2026. This technology has many years of development in front of it and will improve as we keep pushing through known issues to improve capacity, voltage and reduce weight."
GMG management believes that the Company's battery technology can eventually achieve over 150 Wh/kg when charged in 1 hour, and over 75 Wh/kg when charged in 6 minutes. The Company believes further development of the cathode, anode, electrolyte and component weights will eventually achieve this end goal.

Battery Technology Readiness Level
The battery technology readiness level ("BTRL") of the G+AI technology remains at Level 4, see Figure 5. GMG is currently optimizing electrochemical behaviour for pouch cells via ongoing laboratory experimentation. Through collaboration with BIC, it is anticipated that the battery technology readiness will progress to BTRL 7 and 8 since the equipment and processes needed to produce the G+AI batteries are the same as those employed to make Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Next Steps Toward Commercialisation & Market Applications
Jack Perkowski, GMG Chairman and Non-Executive Director, commented: "I am extremely proud that GMG has progressed its battery to this stage. It is a significant milestone for the Company because the battery technology has so much opportunity in so many applications – especially in commercial vehicles. I look forward to the next updates as GMG makes further progress in the development of its battery technology."
The Company continues to see a broad range of applications for a completed GMG G+AI Battery – utilising its ultra-high power-density and economic 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:

Currently, GMG believes it will use a plastic battery pack design, similar to Figure 8, to hold the battery pouch cells – reducing the weight, cost and complexity of using a metal case. Using a plastic battery pack is possible for two main reasons – GMG believes that its battery will not require a thermal management system or the fireproofing precautions provided by the metal case in a lithium-ion battery. Using plastic will increase the comparative energy density of GMG's G+AI battery packs when compared to lithium-ion batteries.

Comparison and Market Review: LTO Batteries
As shown in Figure 9 below, the performance of GMG's G+AI battery technology is already very similar to LTO batteries.
Figure 9: Comparison of Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery (G+AI) to Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) Battery
| Parameter | High Power LTO[4] | GMG G+AI Battery |
| Rapid Charging | 80% in 6 minutes | 100% in 6 minutes |
| Energy Density – 6-minute charge | 37 Wh/kg (80% of Capacity)46 Wh/kg (6 min +) | 26 Wh/kg(Current)Large upside to be confirmed |
| Depth of Discharge | Full Range | Full Range |
| Safety | Safe | Safer (no lithium fire potential) |
| Longevity | 70% performance over 20,000 cycles | To be confirmed |
| Battery Price | US$800 – US$1500 / kWh[5] | Lower price due to lower material costsNo lithium, no Titanium |
| Market Size | US$5.6 Billion in Sales in 2025 | Under development |
LTO batteries are sold at a premium to LFP and LNMC batteries, which are the main chemistries used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, and are also widely used in other electronic applications due to their high performance and long cycle life. The material and manufacturing costs for GMG's G+AI Battery are expected to be similar to, or less than, the cost to manufacture standard lithium-ion batteries, but substantially lower than the costs to produce LTO batteries.
LTO batteries have energy density ranging from 50 – 80 Wh/kg.[6] The LTO product is sold globally for use in many applications – with a total of US$5.6[7] billion sales per annum in 2025. Sales of LTO batteries are expected to grow at 10% per annum to an estimated US$ 9.0 billion by 2030. The major manufacturers of LTO batteries include Toshiba, Gree, Microvast and CATL.
Further details on applications for the LTO battery from Mordor Intelligence7 are described below. In many of the use cases for LTO batteries, GMG believes that its G+AI Battery can be substituted at a substantially lower cost.
- Commercial Vehicles: Automotive, primarily buses, refuse trucks, and drayage tractors rather than passenger cars, is the largest user of LTO batteries. Fleets realize five-year total-cost-of-ownership parity once fuel savings and lower maintenance offset higher upfront prices.
- Fast-charging Electric Buses and Trucks: Transit authorities need battery systems that accept repeated high-power "opportunity charges" during short layovers. LTO cells replenish 80% capacity in roughly five minutes, allowing operators to shrink fleet size without sacrificing route frequency. U.S. Low-No Emission Bus grants earmark more than US$1.5 billion per year, with bid specifications that explicitly reference rapid-charge capability. Parallel subsidy programs in China reimburse up to CNY 80,000 (US$ 11,396) per new-energy bus, accelerating volume deployment in provincial capitals.
- Hybrid and BEV: Regenerative braking and high-C-rate acceleration favour the use of LTO batteries. Use in fast-charge EV stations is growing rapidly as ride-hailing fleets adopt swap-ready models.
- Stationary Storage: Utility-scale batteries now cycle multiple times per day for frequency regulation, peak shaving, and voltage support. Energy-storage-system integrators adopt LTO batteries for grid-frequency response where state-of-charge swings are shallow but frequent.
- Industrial Robotics: LTO batteries are used in continuous-duty forklifts that require partial charges during operator breaks.
- Aerospace and Defense: Unmanned aerial vehicles, missile auxiliaries, and soldier-worn power banks operating from -40 °C to +60 °C ambient.
- 5-minute Battery-Swap Stations: Battery-as-a-service platforms require ultra-fast turnaround and high cycle life. CATL confirmed plans to install 1,000 swap stations in 2025 and 30,000-40,000 by 2030, each requiring packs that tolerate thousands of rapid exchanges without degradation.
- Sub-10 kWh Packs: Cordless construction tools, autonomous ground vehicles, and medical carts select LTO batteries to bypass daily pack swaps.
- 12V starter replacement to Lead acid: GMG's G+AI battery technology would be a viable 12 V starter-battery replacement for lead-acid, offering lower weight, longer cycle life, good low-temperature performance and improved cold-cranking capability, together with excellent tolerance to storage at 0% state of charge. In suitable system designs, the chemistry's stable voltage behaviour can also reduce balancing requirements and simplify battery management, helping to lower overall system cost.
- Lifecycle Procurement Preference: Many government procurement frameworks now weigh lifecycle reliability higher than purchase price. For example, New Mexico awarded a US$ 400 million bus electrification contract that included stringent thermal-runaway resistance metrics. Europe's Clean Industrial Deal allocates capital for storage technologies that stabilize renewables, aligning well with LTO batteries' fast-response profile.
- Cylindrical Cells: accounted for 37.7% of LTO battery sales in 2024 as entrenched production lines and robust steel casings satisfied heavy-duty demand. Pouch designs address aerospace weight requirements and constrained dashboards in autonomous robots.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 21, 2025) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the board of directors of GMG have approved the investment of AU$900k for the early works of an expected 10 tonne per annum Gen 2.0 Graphene Manufacturing Technology plant (the "Gen 2.0 Plant") for an estimated AU$2.3 million total capital cost. This expenditure was largely included in the proposed use of proceeds for the March 2025 Bought Deal Financing of C$5,796,000.
The Gen 2.0 Plant will be built at the existing natural gas to graphene production plant at its manufacturing facility in Richlands, Queensland, Australia. The early works include the procurement of long lead items and commencement of engineering and design works.
The Gen 2.0 Plant is expected to be online by end of June 2026, with production limited to 1 tonne per annum until further work is completed on upgrading packaging systems expected shortly thereafter. The final project is expected to be largely self-powered from standalone energy generation from renewable sources, energy storage system and hydrogen enriched natural gas tail gas power generation. The final project is also expected to include a semi-autonomous bulk graphene packaging system.

The Gen 2.0 Plant is based on the GMG plasma technology, Figure 2, with which the Company has been making graphene for over seven years. However, the Gen 2.0 Plant will utilize newly iterated technology which is expected to produce up to 20 times more production per unit than the previous technology. This new technology is expected to deliver:
-
a substantial reduction in capital cost per tonne of production capacity
-
a substantial reduction in cost of goods per kilogram produced
-
an increase in quality of the graphene materials produced

The details of the proposed Gen 2.0 Plant are as follows:
-
Technology is based on ongoing development of GMG's plasma technology which splits natural gas into graphene and hydrogen gas and captures the graphene nanoplatelets.
-
Automation is expected to allow for repeatable graphene quality, high plant reliability and lower requirement for operator activities.
-
The graphene production technology is expected to be able to make the different graphene required for GMG's end products – including THERMAL-XR®, G® LUBRICANT, SUPA G® and the Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery.
-
This type of new technology production plant can be built in various locations around the world, for example in North America where natural gas cost is low and abundantly available, significantly reducing the cost of the graphene. At scale the GMG graphene production process will produce large amounts of hydrogen as well.
GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited to move ahead with our next generation technology for graphene production – it is a significant milestone for the company. We expect to see better quality graphene at even lower costs and much higher production rates."
GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "This is the next exciting step before we look to expand to likely North American based expansion plants – where "cookie-cutter" projects can be rolled out with only minor changes for production expansion with lower cost gas and other benefits being in the North American market."

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 20, 2025) – Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of website www.g-lubricant.com to facilitate direct sale of its energy saving graphene liquid concentrate G® Lubricant, that enhances the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. The launch of the website is with a new animation video promoting the ease and benefits of G-Lubricant (Figure 1).
Figure 1: www.G-Lubricant.com launch animation videoTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/252715_gmg4!.jpg
Unleashing the Power of Graphene
G® Lubricant is a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine. The amount of graphene in the final lubricant once G® Lubricant is added 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. In those tests, G® Lubricant has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in those diesel engines tested. GMG's test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing in diesel and gasoline/petrol engines.
G® Lubricant is currently sold by GMG in different pack sizes on the direct marketing website including a 500 ml litre pack and 8 x 50 ml packs, which can be used to dose 50 litres of engine oil and 8 x 5 liters of engine oil, respectively, 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 to create awareness of the product and its benefits.
In addition, the Company is discussing global sales with potential distributors in different geographic areas and different original equipment manufacturers.
Further G® Lubricant Performance Tests
GMG carried out further G® Lubricant testing in mid May 2025 – this time in its Company van which was recently professionally serviced – a Mercedes Vito on a third party dyno testing facility (Figure 4) with diesel engine exhaust emissions testing as well (Figure 5).
The performance testing showed demonstrated that the diesel engine van running at approximately 2500 rpm, 100 km/hr with approximately 400 Nm torque, the G® Lubricant provided approximately 13% of fuel savings (Figure 2) and a reduction of harmful NOx exhaust emissions of 27% (Figure 3) compared to testing under similar conditions without the use of any G® Lubricant.
A second dose of G® Lubricant was added to achieve these results due to the age and condition of the engine which has over 360,000 km of use – hence the total amount of graphene per engine oil was 0.02% (2 in 10,000) by weight – there was a total of 160 ml (2 x 80 ml) of G Lubricant added to the 8 litres of engine oil.

By collaborating with BIC, GMG can take advantage of BIC's technological capabilities and manufacturing facilities and avoid the capital cost of building a pilot plant, that can cost more than AU$10 million dollars, to produce sample cells in advance of mass production. Under its service agreement with BIC, GMG will pay for services rendered and retain all intellectual property of the development work. 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.

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.

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.
Figure 2 shows the potential savings for the main types of diesel engine commercial vehicles in use in Australia – with average vehicle data sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics[1] (ABS).

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.

Estimated US$ 1.2 Billion Per Annum Global Diesel Market For G® Lubricant
Assuming an average fuel savings of 8.4%, GMG believes that a conservative estimate of the potential market for G® Lubricant is 10% of the fuel savings realized by users annually. Assuming G® Lubricant pricing equal to 10% of the savings realized, GMG estimates that the potential global revenue for G® Lubricant is US$ 1.2 Billion sales per annum. Figure 4 shows GMG's estimates of potential annual sales of G® Lubricant by country.

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.

Figure 8: Detailed Diesel Engine Generator Performance Data.
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.
Figure 9: G® Lubricant is believed to reduce friction in the engine pistons.

Figure 3: A heat sink coated with THERMAL-XR® on all sides, excluding the base, that is 39% smaller achieves the same results and temperature as the bare aluminium heat sink depicted in Figure 1.
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.
