Leading Edge Materials CEO: Graphene Aeronautic Composite Technology Project in Sweden is Just the First of a Number of Initiatives

Leading Edge Materials (TSXV:LEM,OTCQB:LEMIF) CEO Blair Way believes his company will play a significant role in the production of critical specialty materials in Europe and North America.

Leading Edge Materials is a Canadian company focused on becoming a sustainable supplier of a range of critical materials necessary in the global transition to a low-carbon energy future. Leading Edge Materials has a unique project portfolio in Scandinavia centered on critical specialty materials — including graphite, lithium, cobalt and rare earths — for various energy-related markets, including: lithium-ion batteries; energy generation and storage; and thermal-efficiency building products.

With a production-ready, fully permitted graphite mine and processing facility in Sweden, Leading Edge Materials is positioned to become the first large-scale producers of battery-grade, high-purity spherical graphite outside of China.

Leading Edge Materials’ lithium project, Bergby, is also located in Sweden and has become highly ranked in the region, making the company a contender in that space as well. The company recently announced a second drill program at Bergby, and it will test along previously drilled mineralization. “Bergby has rapidly shaped up as a highly ranked lithium project in the Nordic region. Following our previous drill success, we have moved quickly to access the permits and the drill rig needed to advance this exciting prospect,” says Leading Edge Materials President and CEO Blair Way.
