graphite and graphene should enable us to move rapidly toward a success - ful solution that will have significant supply-chain, safety and environ - mental benefits for the country.” Graphite One’s Supply Chain Strategy With the United States current - ly 100 percent dependent on foreign imports for natural graphite, Graph - ite One is planning to develop a com - plete U.S.-based, advanced graphite supply chain solution anchored by the Graphite Creek resource. The Graphite One Project plan includes an advanced graphite ma - terial and battery anode manufac- turing plant expected to be sited in Washington State integrated with the development of the Graphite Creek Property. The plan includes a recycling facility to reclaim graphite and the other battery materials, to be co-located at the Washington State site, the third link in Graphite One’s circular economy strategy. About Graphite One Inc. Graphite One Inc. continues to develop its Graphite One Project to become an American producer of high-grade anode materials that is integrated with a domestic graphite resource. The Project is proposed as a vertically integrated enterprise to mine, process and manufacture an - ode materials primarily for the lithi - um-ion electric vehicle battery mar- ket. As set forth in the Company’s 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study, graphite mineralization mined from the Com - pany’s Graphite Creek Property, sit - uated on the Seward Peninsula about 60 kilometers north of Nome, Alas- ka, would be processed into concen - trate at an adjacent processing plant. Natural and artificial graphite anode materials and other value-added graphite products would be manu - factured from the concentrate and other materials at the Company’s proposed advanced graphite mate - rials manufacturing facility expected to be located in Washington State. The Company intends to make a production decision on the Project upon the completion of a Feasibility Study.
