NanoXplore Inc. Launches xGnP D500-HP High-Purity Graphene Powder for Conductive Applications NanoXplore Inc. announced the launch of xGnP D500-HP, a high-purity graphene powder engineered for highly conductive applications, including but not limited to energy storage, conductive composites, and advanced electronics. The D500-HP is the latest demonstration of the Company's ability to develop graphene materials to meet the needs of specific end-uses. D500-HP is produced via NanoXplore's proprietary dry-process manufacturing platform, with verified purity of 99.8% at full commercial volumes. With a surface area of 500 m²/g, at the high end of commercial-scale graphene powders, D500-HP delivers electrical conductivity and static-dissipation (ESD) performance comparable to leading conductive carbon blacks, while providing more than twice the flexural (bending) strength and stiffness. The result: customers no longer need to trade strength for conductivity. D500-HP will be priced competitively with conductive carbon blacks, giving customers graphene-level performance without a graphene-level premium. Initial customers have validated the performance data of the D500-HP, and broader qualification programs with target customers are underway. The Company expects initial commercial shipments to commence in Fiscal Year 2027. Announcement • Apr 27

NanoXplore remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of energy storage capabilities using its advanced materials technology. The SiG™? family is supported by 11 patents which cover a range of different chemistries and extend to all cylindrical cell form factors. The commissioning of SiG™? pilot line was completed in September 2023, marking a timely achievement in line with strategic goals. The current commissioned capacity is 100 tons per year. The anode material has been successfully validated in 21700 cylindrical cells further emphasizing the adaptability and compatibility of the technology with established cell form-factors. By leveraging low-cost feedstock, the Corporation ensured cost competitiveness in the market and positioned itself as a leader in delivering high-performance energy storage solutions at an economical price point. Additionally, the company announced key highlights of SG-X™? pilot line commissioning, featuring three coated spherical purified graphite (CSPG) anode materials. The company have three validated and available CSPG products, covering a wide range of performances and applications. This diversity enables NanoXplore to address a broad spectrum of market needs with tailored solutions. The commissioning of the CSPG pilot line is now completed and can operate with a capacity of 200 tons per year. Announcement • Nov 23
NanoXplore Inc. Unveils Large-Scale Dry Process for Manufacturing of Graphene: Improvement for Cost Competitiveness and Scalability NanoXplore Inc. announced an interesting achievement in graphite exfoliation with the successful development of a novel dry graphene manufacturing process. The dry process centers on an advanced exfoliation technology with innovative media that enables high yield exfoliation without the introduction of impurities. The fusion of NanoXplore’s strong intellectual property portfolio and the strategic patents acquisition of XG Sciences has yielded in this significant advancement in graphene production. The amalgamation of eight different patents registered and/or granted in Australia, Canada, United States, Taiwan, China, and South Korea together with NanoXplore’s knowledge and experience deliver a graphene with a mix of performance and cost-effectiveness. The research and development related to this process started a decade ago with an investment of nearly $40 million to date by NanoXplore and XG Sciences. NanoXplore’s novel dry graphene manufacturing process has several benefits compared to the traditional liquid exfoliation methods. NanoXplore has secured key suppliers, ensuring a robust supply chain for the main equipment. Equipment procurement is streamlined with off-the-shelf solutions, with an estimated lead time of 8-12 months. The Corporation is planning to start purchasing the equipment during 2024 calendar year. NanoXplore’s novel dry graphene manufacturing process could bring the Corporation within cost parity with traditional carbon additives such as carbon black. The cost reduction results primarily from using low grade waste graphite (which is derived from graphite anode production process) as feedstock. Furthermore, it is highly scalable and operates on a continuous basis, streamlining production efficiency. Superior processability and long-term performance of dry-processed graphene offers investors a more attractive proposition and will expand the Corporation’s total addressable market and accelerates commercial adoption of graphene. With granted patents already secured, this proprietary technology boosts some key physical properties in polymers by 20% compared to existing products for applications with over 20-yr longevity requirements. The technology finds potential applications in batteries and lightweight composites, enhancing its appeal in cutting-edge industries. This new manufacturing process also opens doors to a myriad of applications, including plastic pipes, geosynthetics, recycled plastics, concrete, drilling fluids, and insulation foams, among others. The new dry manufacturing process marks a paradigm shift, substantially reducing the environmental footprint associated with traditional graphite exfoliation methods. This new process addresses environmental concerns associated with water usage, eliminating washing and drying steps that contribute to increased costs and environmental impact.
