CEO Roozendaal Explains How Global Li-Ion Aims to Become Vertically Integrated Player in Booming Graphite Market

We were very pleased to sit down with Mr. John Roozendaal, the President and CEO of Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. (CSE:LION – $0.43 & OTCQX:GBBGF – $0.32 & Fra:0TD – €0.29). Global Li-Ion is a resource Company that is focused on the acquisition and development of Graphite projects with an intent to supply the rapidly growing energy storage industry.

Mr. Roozendaal first describes what makes the Company’s Chedic Graphite project in Nevada so attractive. He explains that everybody is excited about the upcoming drill results from a previously untested 550 meter long mineralized area at the property. In addition, Chedic is located only 50 miles from Tesla’s Gigafactory, which may give it an geographical advantage, as graphite is an important part of an electric car’s batteries.

Next, the CEO provides us with plenty of critical information on Global Li-Ion’s Ambato-Arana Graphite Mine in the African country of Madagascar. Since at least the 1920s mining activities have been conducted on this property, but only on a very small scale. Tests have shown that the mined material from Ambato-Arana is of very high quality. With a mining permit already in hand, Global Li-Ion’s next step is to re-establish road access to the property and upgrade the facilities in the area to move the project towards production.

Investors also find out about the Company’s Neuron Graphite Project in Manitoba, Canada, which is ideally located in an active mining district. Also here a scheduled work program will result in a steady news flow in the coming quarters.

The interview also takes a look at the Global Li-Ion’s investment in BEGO Technologies, a technology developer that uses the combination of microbiology and electrochemical processes to potentially create Graphene Oxide at much lower cost than other currently used methods.

Global Li-Ion is aiming to gain exposure to the full spectrum of the Graphite space, from the production of the raw material through to the production of Graphene Oxide and ultimately Graphene via its involvement in BEGO. Graphene is the proverbial holy grail of the industry, as it is a material that is forecasted to revolutionize a whole range of technologies.

In addition, Mr. Roozendaal shares his interesting views on the potential of the Graphite market and its participants.
