South Star Battery Metals announces successful production of lib battery-grade anode materials and positive initial cycle testing results for the Santa Cruz Graphite Project
South Star Battery Metals Corp. (“South Star” or the “Company”) (TSXV: STS) (OTCQB: STSBF), along with its technological partner in the United States (“US Lab”1), announce successful initial life cycle testing results for the first 35 cycles (charging & discharging) in CR2016 LiB coin cells constructed with anode material (coated spherical purified graphite) produced from the Santa Cruz Graphite Project.
Several battery cells were constructed as part of the ongoing optimization and testing program, and all the cells have an extremely flat discharge pattern without noticeable degradation over the initial testing period.
One cycle consists of 10 hours of charge and 10 hours of discharge, therefore 35 cycles equals approximately 700 hours total. South Star’s testing program continues and will include a minimum of 100 cycles for each of the LiB cells. Upcoming work also includes downstream processing flowsheet optimizations and validation.

Richard Pearce, President and CEO of South Star.
We are pleased to continue announcing robust battery testing results and advancing to production in 2022.
“We have produced several types of battery-grade spherical, purified graphites (SPG) with ultra-high purity of 99.99w% Cg and excellent workability with average particle sizes ranging from 8 to 23 microns. The cycle testing with anodes produced using Santa Cruz graphite in CR2016 LiB batteries has proven to be very stable with little degradation throughout the initial 35 cycles.”
“We are positioning South Star for long-term success by creating a diversified portfolio of high-quality products that will provide excellent value for a broad range of industrial and high value-add industries that are in high demand across the globe and in sectors with above-average growth potential.”
“These are very exciting times for us as we continue our conversations with potential clients in electric vehicles, energy storage, portable electronics, telecom and specialty application sectors. We look forward to reporting additional results from our on-going testing program.”
Santa Cruz Product Information Bulletins (PIBs) with technical information for the portfolio of products, safety data sheets (SDSs) and marketing materials are being prepared and will be added to the website shortly, as well as distributed to our existing partners and potential clients.
Samples of value-add products including micronized & purified graphite, expanded & expandable graphite, as well are as coated and uncoated SPG will also be produced and available for testing.
