Removing the Volume and Cost Barriers to Economic Graphene Commercialisation (Graphene Europe 2015)

Talga Resources (ASX:TLG) is an emerging technology materials supplier specialising in large volume graphene production from unique natural sources in Sweden, including the Vittangi project with the highest grade graphite resource in the world. In 2015, Talga will commission its demonstration plant in Germany to produce 100-200tpa of graphene.

Mr Thompson has over 20 years experience in the mineral industry, and is the founder and Managing Director of ASX-listed Talga Resources Ltd. In 2011 he led Talga to Sweden, to discover the highest grade graphite resource in the world, and since then has managed development to enable bulk scale production of graphene in a ground breaking and extremely cost effective way. The graphene produced is of a high quality and suitable for a range of large volume composite, additive and technology applications.

 

He is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, the Society of Economic Geologists, and is Guest Professor of Mineral Exploration Technology at Chengdu University of Technology and Southwest University of Science and Technology in China.

Talga is a high tech materials company with its own source of integrated supply from multiple advanced high grade graphite projects in northern Sweden. The flagship project "Vittangi" is at development stage and like all the projects, benefits from established high quality infrastructure including low cost power, road, rail and ports.

 

Two of the five graphite projects have unique ore that allows graphite and graphene to be liberated at an atomic level in an extremely cost effective way. The graphene produced is of a high quality and suitable for a range of large volume composite, additive and high technology applications.
