Grenville Graphite
Grenville: a world reference
The Grenville graphite deposit has been known for over a hundred years. Few remember it, but between 1845 and 1900 the Miller mine produced graphite that was considered one of the purest in the world, on par with graphite from Sri Lanka, which is recognized as a reference.
Unique properties, unprecedented purity
The high crystallinity and ultra-high purity characteristics of the Miller Project's natural hydrothermal graphite deposit are rare and unique. Our ability to relatively easily purify our graphite to 99.9998% is unprecedented.
A critical and strategic mineral for emerging technologies and life sciences
The governments of Quebec and Canada consider graphite as a strategic mineral essential to the realization of their strategies and the achievement of their objectives.
It is a key material in the implementation of green energy and aerospace initiatives.
Certified Reference Materials (CRM)
There is no certified reference material (CRM) for natural graphite. CRMs based on Grenville graphite could support scientific progress by providing quality control in critical and strategic green energy and aerospace applications. Many high-tech industries depend on very high purity raw materials, such as Miller graphite, for the calibration of analytical instruments.
In addition to the certified reference materials, the Miller ultra-high purity graphite is being targeted for the Energy, Engineered Materials, and Carbon Additives and Polymers market segments. Here are some concrete examples:
