First Graphene Limited Announces Results Of Graphene Enhanced Cement Roof Tile Production Trial With FP McCann First Graphene Limitedannounced results from a world-first production trial of graphene enhanced roof tiles with the UK's largest precast concrete manufacturer and supplier FP McCann. The five-month project used 40 tonnes of PureGRAPH® enhanced cement, developed by First Graphene's partner Breedon Group, to produce more than 10,000 tiles at FP McCann's Cadeby manufacturing facility in the UK. The final graphene enhanced cement roof tiles were tested for quality, efficiency and carbon emission reduction potential, as well as performance consistency. The production process achieved a cradle-to-gate reduction in carbon emissions of up to 14%, reinforcing the lower-carbon benefits of graphene for cement. The required amount of cement for the tiles was also reduced by up to 8%. The trial confirmed graphene enhanced cement, classified as CEM-II, could produce the same roof tiles at the same strength with fewer materials and lower costs compared to CEM-I. The tiles will be distributed for use in a variety of projects, including installation on a new building at FP McCann's Cadeby site. Conversations have commenced with industry partners following receipt of the results to determine interest in the graphene enhanced roof tiles for projects across the United Kingdom. The UK Government has also committed to deliver more than one million affordable and sustainable new homes in the next three years and has been funding innovative construction solutions to achieve this goal. This project was supported via 'Contracts for Innovation' with the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and the 'Resource Efficient Construction Impacts' program by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs' (DEFRA). The trial solidifies First Graphene's entrance into the global cement roof tile market which is anticipated to grow to USD 11,800 million by 2034. Reported Earnings • Feb 26

First Graphene Limited Announces Production of Graphene Enhanced Cement First Graphene Limited announced the successful production of approximately 600 tonnes of graphene enhanced cement ahead of araft of new trial projects rolling out in the United Kingdom. The high tonnage of cement contains circa three tonnes of First Graphene's PureGRAPH-CEM additive and was produced by commercial partner Breedon Group PLC at its Hope Cement Works in Derbyshire. Production of this historic volume of graphene enhanced cement marks a major milestone for the cement and concrete industry, showcasing the commercial viability of manufacturing a more environmentally friendly product at scale. Manufacturing was completed efficiently at Hope Cement Works over one day, with PureGRAPH-CEM being added into the finally milling stage. The graphene enhanced cement enables users to reduce their CO2 footprint by up to 16% due to the reduced amount of carbon intensive 'clinker' required. The PureGRAPH enhanced cement is currently in storage ahead of despatch for use in concrete for three main projects across the United Kingdom, and for the University of Manchester to conduct compressive strength testing and analysis of the concrete's performance. Strong and sustainable concrete roof tiles The first trial will see 30 to 40 tonnes of graphene enhanced cement incorporated into thousands of roof tiles produced by FP McCann at its Cadeby manufacturing plant in Leicestershire. These tiles will be tested for material use efficiencies and waste reduction benefits over five months at the company's research and development facility in Knockloughrim. The trial is part of a Contracts for Innovation: Resource Efficient Construction Impacts project funded by Innovate UK, with PS15,000 allocated for the supply of graphene enhanced cement. FP McCann designed the trial in response to ongoing housing shortages in the UK and to assist with the UK Government's plan to deliver more than one million affordable and sustainable new homes by 2029. The PureGRAPH®? enhanced cement will also be used for two infrastructure projects in the UK, delivered in partnership with the high-end infrastructure division of Morgan Sindall Group PLC and Breedon. First Graphene has also received requests from multiple other organizations across the UK and Australia for experimental volumes of the material for testing across a wide range of applications. As one of the UK's largest cement producers, Breedon has a deep commitment to manufacturing sustainable construction materials, reinforced by the use of graphene enhanced cement at its production facility. First Graphene has previously collaborated with both Breedon and Morgan Sindall to successfully test graphene enhanced concrete as part of a high use truck wash bay on a UK motorway.

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 31% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 1.3% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (31% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (AU$468k revenue, or US$303k).

First Graphene Limited Announces Cement & Concrete Segment Update First Graphene Limited announced a raft of new trial projects to roll out in the UK containing PureGRAPH®? enhanced cement produced by commercial partner Breedon Group PLC. Breedon will produce approximately 600 tonnes of cement incorporating circa three tonnes of PureGRAPH®? CEM at its Hope Cement Works in Derbyshire, UK. This will in turn be distributed to numerous material, construction and academic partners in the UK looking to benefit from material performance improvements and carbon reduction associated with graphene enhanced cement (GEC) and concrete products. It is anticipated CO2 emissions associated with cement production will reduce by approximately 16% due to the partial replacement of carbon intensive clinker. Several other organizations have requested material to be tested in their respective applications. FP McCann to test graphene in concrete roof tiles: FP McCann is utilising between 40 and 60 tonnes of graphene enhanced cement in the production of thousands of roof tiles at its Cadeby manufacturing plant in Leicestershire, which will then be tested at the company's R&D facility at Knockloughrim. This aspect of the trial forms part of a successful application for a Contracts for Innovation with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and Defra: Resource Efficient Construction Impacts project funded by UK Government, of which AUD 30,000 is for the supply of graphene enhanced cement and other raw materials. The trial project will replace CEM I with GEC, which incorporates graphene nanoplatelets to reduce carbon without compromising product strength. Testing and tile quality assessment will be carried out for approximately five months following their manufacture looking at realising material use efficiencies and reducing waste. FP McCann's trial has partially been designed in response to the UK housing shortage crisis and Government's plan to deliver 1.5 million affordable, sustainable new homes. This involves combatting rising material cost constraints by making cost effective, low carbon construction solutions available to the construction market. Morgan Sindall gears up to lay graphene ground slabs Meanwhile the high-end infrastructure division of Morgan Sindall Group PLC plans to use concrete batched by Capital Concrete in railway infrastructure ground slabs in London. Morgan Sindall has previously successfully tested graphene enhanced concrete containing PureGRAPH®? to build a high use truck wash bay on a motorway in the UK. This new collaboration will involve two tonnes of cement for a concrete batch, which will be used primarily in ground slabs while a smaller test slab will be poured for durability testing, monitoring and measuring. Remaining concrete will be used to produce samples for a suite of standard strength tests. As the manufacturer of graphene enhanced cement, Breedon plans to conduct pre-trial equipment inspections at Hope Cement Works this month with production to commence December 2025. Having already proven up carbon emissions reduction and performance improvements of cement produced with PureGRAPH®?, Breedon is a valued commercial partner of First Graphene and has strong commitments to manufacturing more sustainable construction materials. Some of the trial material will be used in the construction of a concrete slab at Hope Cement Works integrating EV charging infrastructure for staff and visitors. First Graphene Managing Director and CEO Michael Bell said: " This is a dynamic approach to trialling graphene enhanced construction material formulated by First Graphene and produced in collaboration with strategic commercial partner Breedon. One of the key outcomes these advanced materials offer is the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, whether directly through a reduction in output of these harmful greenhouse gases or lower energy usage requirements in manufacturing, or indirectly due to enhanced performance characteristics and extending the usable life of products. First Graphene has a robust manufacturing platform based on captive and abundant supply of high-purity raw materials, and readily scalable technologies to meet growing market demand. As well as being the world's leading supplier of its own high performance PureGRAPH®?®?®? and concrete products. Annuncio • Oct 06

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.0% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Earnings have declined by 2.0% per year over the past 5 years.

First Graphene Limited's Paper Confirms PureGRAPH Benefits in Wastewater Concrete First Graphene Limited announced the release of a peer reviewed paper on findings from a study undertaken by the University of Wollongong and an Australian domestic water, sewerage and drainage statutory authority investigating the use of pristine graphene to enhance durability of concrete and mortar in corrosive water environments. The latest paper, which was co-authored by the Company, reports that based on the mix formulation for wastewater infrastructure, results showed that adding graphene to both concrete and mortar enhanced 28-day compressive strength by 10 - 20%. The best admixture level was found to be 0.02 - 0.1% of PureGRAPH® 50. The product also showed a reduction of the apparent volume of permeable voids (AVPV) of mortar by 11.7% and concrete by 19.3% at the optimal dosages. This was reported to most likely be due to a reduction in the number or size of pores in the paste. Graphene enhanced concrete and mortar with 0.2% and 0.15% dosage rates showed significant sulphate resistance, by reducing 62% and 60% of extension respectively, after exposure to a sulphate solution for 16 weeks. The release of the paper concludes the research phase and provides the company with validated scientific evidence the benefits PureGRAPH® can deliver in wastewater concrete pipe applications in terms of greater durability and greater resistance to corrosion. The Company is now aiming to leverage the findings to seek commercial opportunities in the wastewater and similar environments. The combined water and wastewater pipe market is projected to be worth USD 46.457 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2022 - 2030. The market was valued at USD 30.05 billion in 2021. The results add further strength to ongoing research, development and commercialisation opportunities in the cement and concrete segment for First Graphene. Commercial-scale trials continue with global construction chemical manufacturers including Fosroc International, and leading cement companies such as Breedon Cement. The ability of PureGRAPH® to increase the strength and durability of concrete enables a reduction in the clinker required during the cement manufacturing stage, thus reducing CO2 emissions by up to 18%.

The admixture is now being marketed by the Company as PureGRAPH® AM and is suitable for use by downstream concrete and construction material manufacturers to provide superior strength and durability properties. The Company's distribution agreement with New Zealand based GtM Action, announced in July 2021, has come to fruition with the release of GtM's HexMortarTM, a graphene enhanced dry mix mortar for shotcrete and pumping applications. HexMortarTM is formulated to quickly and permanently increase the flexural and compressive strength of dry mortars. Latest trials have shown significant improvement at 3, 7 and 28 days, including a 20% improvement in flexural strength and 27% improvement in compressive strength at the 28-day mark. Additionally, the benefits of graphene are delivering a product that is easy to work with while its minimal rebound reduces waste. The product is the first of a range of solutions being developed by GtM Action for the New Zealand and broader global cement and concrete markets that are in search of innovative products with reduced environmental impact. Continued progress on commercial scale trials The Company also continues to work with a consortium of partners including Breedon Cement Limited, Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Limited and the University of Manchester to develop a "green cement". The consortium received a grant from the UK Government in early 2022 to develop the green technology. Under the agreement, the consortium is planning a trial utilising up to 1,500 tonnes of specially formulated cement, converting to circa 9,000 tonnes of concrete, with varying doses of PureGRAPH® being applied to determine optimum dosage rates and performance outcomes. This represents one of the largest commercial trials of graphene enhanced cement and concrete globally. The Company is also progressing well in its collaboration with Fosroc International to develop cement additive systems. Under the five-year collaboration agreement, both organizations will contribute to the joint development of a range of PureGRAPH® enhanced cement additives that Fosroc aims to add to its portfolio of specialty products. These would provide the cement industry with a global solution to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and increasing the overall performance of cement. Advanced grinding aid trials are currently being undertaken with Fosroc in their global competence centres. A procedure to add graphene into the mill has been established.

First Graphene Limited Secures an Additional Patent Within its Existing Hydrodynamic Cavitation Patent Family First Graphene Limited (‘First Graphene’ or ‘the Company’) announced that it has secured an additional patent within its existing Hydrodynamic Cavitation patent family, with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office. The patent describes how the Hydrodynamic Cavitation Process Technology can be used to coat particles with a surface coating of graphene platelets. It is a potential enabling technology for producing graphene coated silicon particles for use as anode materials in energy storage devices. A key challenge in the development of the next generation of batteries is how to increase their energy storage capacity. Existing carbon anodes typically have an energy density of about 400mAhg-1 whereas the equivalent theoretical value for silicon is an order of magnitude higher, at 4200 mAhg-1. This makes silicon a very attractive material for energy storage devices. Currently there are multiple issues associated with using silicon particles, including their low intrinsic electrical conductivity and the slow diffusion rate of lithium within the electrode. Another major issue is the significant volume change as lithium ions, which are used to transfer electrical charge, enter and leave the electrode. This causes the degradation of the silicon electrode, causing an irreversible loss in performance of the storage device. The challenge is to maintain the capacity of the battery after a given number of cycles: this should ideally be greater than 90% after 200 or more cycles. Coating silicon particles with a conductive layer, that is also porous to lithium ions, whilst also providing ‘reinforcement’ to mitigate against structural degradation, is a potential method that could overcome the above challenges. As a mechanically strong, conductive and thin material, a graphene coating on the surface of silicon particles readily lends itself as a solution. This patent covers the use of First Graphene's cavitation process technology to directly grow conductive graphene nanoplatelets on to the surface of suitable particles, including silicon. The benefit is that the process is simple, scalable and uses readily available feedstocks that are processed under bulk ambient conditions, as opposed to standard industry practices that require temperatures in excess of 900°C. Another benefit is that the process is clean hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. Initial proof of concept work disclosed in the patent describes how graphene can be synthesized onto the surface of silicon particles, giving a significant uplift in measured electrical conductivity. Securing this patent gives the Company a strong position in the global silicon anode battery market, which is projected to grow to $270 million by 2027 1, by providing it with a process that is scalable and a product that can be used in trials in energy storage devices. The granted patent also provides a means of protecting the Company's Intellectual Property associated with the use of cavitation technology within this market in the United Kingdom. Annuncio • Sep 21

First Graphene Limited Announces the Publication of A Scientific Paper Written by Researchers At the University of Adelaide First Graphene Limited announced the publication of a scientific paper written by researchers at the University of Adelaide, which describes a "green" process to improve the compatibility of First Graphene's PureGRAPH® materials in a range of systems. The paper, titled Highly Water Dispersible Functionalised Graphene by Thermal Thiol- ene Click Chemistry, was written by a team of researchers led by Professor Dusan Losic, leader of the Nano Research Group at The University of Adelaide and Director of ARC Graphene Research Hub. It has been peer reviewed and was published on 25th May 2021 in science and engineering journal Materials. The researchers successfully "functionalised" PureGRAPH® graphene supplied by First Graphene. The functionalisation process involves chemically bonding molecules to graphene platelets. One end of the molecule will bond to the graphene surface and the other free end interacts with the medium that the graphene is added into. This improves the level of dispersion and interaction of the graphene platelets with the medium, further enhancing its properties and improving its dispersion in other composite systems such as polymers and rubbers. PureGRAPH® has a broad range of applications which can be further expanded by adding additional finishing steps, generally referred to a functionalising. Annuncio • May 28
