Ceylon Graphite Announces Publication in the Royal Society
June 28 2021 - 7:15AM
Ceylon Graphite Corp. (“Ceylon Graphite”)
(TSX-V:CYL)(OTC:CYLYF)(FSE:CCY) is pleased to announce Ceylon Chief
Scientific Executive, Dr. Siva Bohm, and Ceylon Technical Director
Dr. Mallika Bohm have published a paper titled “Graphene Production
By Cracking” in one of the oldest Journal by the Royal Society,
“Philosophical Transaction A”. This follows a long list of
publications By Drs. Bohm.
The Abstract from the Paper reads as
follows:
“In recent years, graphene has found its use in
numerous industrial applications due to its unique properties.
While its impermeable and conductive nature can replace currently
used anticorrosive toxic pigments in coating systems, due to its
large strength to weight ratio, graphene can be an important
component as a next-generation additive for automotive, aerospace
and construction applications. The current bottlenecks in using
graphene and graphene oxide and other two-dimensional materials are
the availability of cost-effective, high-quality materials and
their effective incorporation (functionalization and dispersion)
into the product matrices. On overcoming these factors, graphene
may attract significant demands in terms of volume consumption.
Graphene can be produced on industrial scales and through
cost-effective top-down routes such as chemical, electrochemical
and/or high-pressure mechanical exfoliation. Graphene, depending on
end applications, can be chemically tuned and modified via
functionalization so that easy incorporation into product matrices
is possible. This paper discusses different production methods and
their impact on the quality of graphene produced in terms of energy
input. Graphene with an average thickness below five layers was
produced by both methods with varied defects. However, a higher
yield of graphene with a lower number of layers was produced via
the high-pressure exfoliation route.”

Ceylon CEO, Don Baxter stated, “I am excited for
Ceylon to have two brilliant scientists on our team. The “high
quality material” used to generate the data presented in this paper
was vein graphite from Ceylon’s mine in Sri Lanka. The work in the
paper is related to the company’s technical strategy to implement
our recently acquired, exclusive licence of graphene production
technology (June 14/21 news release) to enhance our graphite anode
material for use in lithium ion batteries.”

About Ceylon Graphite
Corp.Ceylon Graphite is a public company listed on the TSX
Venture Exchange, that is in the business of mining for graphite,
and developing and commercializing innovative graphene and graphite
applications and products. Graphite mined in Sri Lanka is known to
be some of the purest in the world and has been confirmed to be
suitable to be easily upgradable for a range of applications
including the high-growth electric vehicle and battery storage
markets as well as construction, healthcare and paints and coatings
sectors. The Government of Sri Lanka has granted the Company’s
wholly owned subsidiary Sarton Development (Pvt) Ltd. an IML
Category A license for its K1 mine and exploration rights in a land
package of over 120km². These exploration grids (each one square
kilometer in area) cover areas of historic graphite production from
the early twentieth century and represent a majority of the known
graphite occurrences in Sri Lanka.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This news release contains forward-looking
information as such term is defined in applicable securities laws,
which relate to future events or future performance and reflect
management's current expectations and assumptions. The
forward-looking information includes statements about Ceylon
Graphite’s grids, Ceylon Graphite’s plans to undertake additional
drilling and to develop a mine plan, and to commence establishing
mining operations. Such forward-looking statements reflect
management's current beliefs and are based on assumptions made by
and information currently available to Ceylon Graphite, including
the assumption that, there will be no material adverse change in
metal prices, all necessary consents, licenses, permits and
approvals will be obtained, including various Local Government
Licenses and the market. Investors are cautioned that these
forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees and
are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause future
results to differ materially from those expected. Risk factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the results
expressed or implied by the forward-looking information include,
among other things, an inability to reach a final acquisition
agreement, inaccurate results from the drilling exercises, a
failure to obtain or delays in obtaining the required regulatory
licenses, permits, approvals and consents, an inability to access
financing as needed, a general economic downturn, a volatile stock
price, labour strikes, political unrest, changes in the mining
regulatory regime governing Ceylon Graphite, a failure to comply
with environmental regulations and a weakening of market and
industry reliance on high quality graphite. Ceylon Graphite
cautions the reader that the above list of risk factors is not
exhaustive.
