South Star Battery Metals and University of Alabama agree to develop graphite anode materials


Canadian project developer South Star Battery Metals has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa on behalf of its Alabama Mobility and Power Center (AMP) to develop a partnership to support a battery anode materials program in the US.

The project would encompass research and development, pilot demonstration, commercial demonstration and commercial-scale manufacturing.

South Star would be the primary supplier of natural-flake graphite concentrate and AMP’s internal reference natural-flake anode graphite material. The MOU establishes the conceptual framework for the project and allows for a 45-day schedule to negotiate the definitive, binding agreement.

Richard Pearce, CEO of South Star commented, “We are excited to announce this important strategic initiative with our UA/AMP partners to advance a concrete, integrated solution to developing high-quality battery anode testing, development and manufacturing expertise in the United States with world-class expertise and facilities.”
