Falcon Energy Advances Battery Materials Production with Morocco Pilot Plant

Falcon Energy Materials plc (TSX-V: FLCN) (OTCQB:FLCNF) is making significant strides in establishing itself as a major player in the global battery supply chain with its pilot plant construction at Jorf Lasfar, Morocco. The company has achieved crucial milestones including completed structural steel fabrication, installation of major processing equipment at Hensen Graphite & Carbon Corporation's facility in China, and most importantly, the production of first coated spherical purified graphite (CSPG) samples for three potential customers who have now commenced qualification processes. This strategic development positions Falcon as a potential leader in developing large-scale, high-purity CSPG production outside of China, with the pilot plant remaining firmly on track for Q4 2025 commissioning.

The Moroccan location offers significant strategic advantages through Falcon's partnership with Fluoralpha S.A., providing access to world-class port infrastructure, competitive operating costs, and proximity to European and North American markets. Civil construction works are progressing under Open Steel Structure Maroc S.A.R.L, the Moroccan subsidiary of Open Building Systems of China, leveraging extensive industrial expertise. CEO Matthieu Bos emphasized that this represents a pivotal milestone not just for sample production but for advancing toward establishing a major 25,000 tonnes per annum commercial scale anode facility. The company's integrated business model aims to create a mine-to-market active anode material producer, combining a high-purity graphite mine in Guinea with the CSPG conversion facility in Morocco.

Falcon has successfully produced two distinct CSPG specifications tailored to customer requirements, with 50kg sample batches currently under evaluation. The pilot plant has been fully commissioned and tested at Hensen's facility in China to ensure optimized performance before shipment to Morocco in November 2025. The company's strategic partnerships with Hensen and Fluoralpha signify the development of a comprehensive, resilient industrial value chain designed to lead the global battery market. With attractive operating costs, proximity to European end-markets, and strong ESG credentials, Falcon is poised to become a reliable supplier while promoting sustainability and supply chain transparency.
