In addition, proceeds will be directed towards project development and other expenditure in connection with the commercial acceleration of the company’s battery anode material (BAM) strategy. 

The company indicated that debt funding is an expensive option and restrictions imposed on the use of funds and other requirements proposed by debt financiers are expected to restrict spending on strategic options.

Earlier this month, the company signed an agreement to sell graphite from the Balama operation to Chinese battery anode manufacturer Shenzhen BTR New Energy Materials’ (BTR) subsidiary Jixi BTR Graphite Industrial.

The project has a combined proven and probable reserves of 81.4 metric tonnes (Mt), with contained graphite of 13.2Mt.
