InvestorNewsBreaks – Gratomic Inc. (TSX.V: GRAT) (OTCQX: CBULF) (FSE: CB82) Announces Benching Program Updates, New All-Time Graphite Extraction Record at Aukam

Sep 20, 2022

Gratomic (TSX.V: GRAT) (OTCQX: CBULF) (FSE: CB82), a multinational company focused on becoming a leading global graphite supplier, today announced a progress update on the earth moving activities at its Flagship Aukam Graphite Project in Namibia. According to the update, the benching process typically involves successively cutting berms alongside the mountain edge in order to steadily expose underground material, at the same time ensuring stability of the mountain structure. The process allows for the collection of graphite in stages as platforms are constructed on the Aukam mountain. Road construction was completed to the upper part of the mountain during the past several weeks, and actual benching of the mountainside began in earnest.

In addition, Gratomic released an additional progress update for its Aukam Graphite Project. The company reported that a mining team began extracting graphite from a newly discovered vein in the early hours of the morning, unearthing more than 150 tonnes of graphite in one working shift and breaking the all-time record of graphite extracted at Aukam in a single day. The vein was excavated approximately 2.5 meters deep, exposing the over 150 tonnes of graphite hosted below the surface. “This momentous achievement by the Gratomic Aukam mining team sets a very positive trend forward to what is expected as the program continues,” said Arno Brand, president and CEO of Gratomic. “Watching the stockpiles grow gives us an immense sense of achievement that we are moving closer and closer to commercializing our Aukam project.”
