Falcon Energy Opens Morocco Graphite Pilot Plant for Battery Anodes

Falcon Energy Materials plc (TSX-V: FLCN) (OTCQB: FLCNF) has officially opened its pilot plant near Casablanca, Morocco, marking a pivotal step towards large-scale production of high-purity coated spheronized purified graphite (CSPG) for the global battery industry. This facility, the first natural graphite CSPG pilot plant in Morocco, will produce qualification-scale samples for potential customers, including OEMs and battery producers, while generating critical operating data and process design criteria. The pilot plant represents a scale-up from laboratory testing and supports Falcon's goal of building a competitive battery anode supply chain outside of China.

The pilot plant will produce CSPG samples from premium natural graphite feedstock sourced from Africa, enabling Falcon to tailor materials to customer specifications and support ongoing qualification programs. Beyond sample production, the facility serves as a training platform for plant operators, with procedures expected to transfer to Falcon's proposed 25,000 tonnes per annum commercial-scale anode facility (the Anode Plant). The company remains confident in global graphite feedstock availability and continues testing alternative sources to ensure reliable supply.

Falcon Energy Materials aims to be the premier provider of natural CSPG, a critical component for energy storage. Strategically partnered with leading technology firms and Tier One Moroccan partners, Falcon benefits from advanced expertise and a prime location. The pilot plant commissioning is underway, with qualification-scale samples expected in summer 2026.
