Graphite powder will be routinely tested using industry standard cells to ensure the coulombic efficiency, reversible capacity, first-cycle loss and rate capabilities of the product are within Elcora's specifications. These traceable results will give customers confidence in Elcora's materials and their reliable performance.
The research and development laboratory will test graphite from multiple sources anywhere within the supply chain; directly from the mine, processed, or refined graphite, and convert it into fully functional Li-ion batteries. Our capabilities include: mineral processing, refining, graphite particle size reduction and sizing, spheronization, purification, electrode slurry mixing, electrode slurry coating, drying, slitting, cell fabrication, cell testing and advanced electrochemical analysis.
Having a research and development laboratory in-house will provide a short turn-around cycle of evaluation. This will allow the improvement and optimization of our manufacturing processes throughout our supply chain and to verify a consistent high quality product.
"The establishment of the anode and battery laboratory will give Elcora the ability to quickly turn-around testing and evaluation of multiple sources of graphite throughout the supply chain as well as providing accurate performance details for clients", said Troy Grant, Elcora's President & CEO, in addition "this capability will give Elcora a strategic advantage both in its production and its marketing".
The Company also announce that further to the February 2, 2017 news release, the Board of Directors of Elcora did not issue the 2,000,000 stock options (exercisable at $0.35 for 4 years) that were granted to certain officers, directors and consultants to the Company.

About Elcora Advanced Materials
Elcora was founded in 2011 and has been structured to become a vertically integrated graphite & graphene company that mines, processes, refines graphite, and produces both the graphene and end user graphene applications. As part of the vertical integration strategy, Elcora has secured high-grade graphite and graphene precursor graphite from its interest in the operation of the Ragedara mine in Sri Lanka which is already in production. Elcora has developed a unique low cost effective processes to make high quality graphite and graphene that are commercially scalable. This combination means that Elcora has the tools and resources for graphite and graphene vertical integration.
