Leading Edge Materials Announces Exploration License Application in Romania
Canada NewsWire
VANCOUVER, Oct. 4, 2019
VANCOUVER, Oct. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - Leading Edge Materials Corp. ("Leading Edge Materials" or the "Company") (TSXV: LEM) (OTCQB: LEMIF) (Nasdaq First North: LEMSE) is pleased to advise of the submission of the Company's first Exploration License application to the Agentia Nationala pentru Resurse Minerale ("NAMR").
The application covers the same area as the Bihor Sud Prospecting Permit (see Press Release dated 6th November 2018) in western Romania (Figure 1), and was applied for by LEM Resources SRL ("LEM Resources"). LEM Resources is a Joint Venture company where Leading Edge Materials has the right to earn 90% ownership by achieving various project milestones.
The Bihor Sud Exploration License application is for a 5-year license covering 25 square kilometers in the Northern Apuseni Mountains of Transylvania. Bihor Sud lies within the Western Tethyan Metallogenic Belt, a well-mineralized district that includes the Timok copper-gold project along with the Skouries, Chelopech, Bor and Majdanpek deposits. The Northern Apuseni Mountains are famous for high grade skarn and carbonate replacement mineralization with historic production of Cu, Mo, Ag, Au, Zn, U and Pb associated with Tethyan Arc intrusions. The area under application includes a substantial former mine that was closed in 1998.
Mr. Mark Saxon, Interim CEO stated, "Leading Edge Materials have been active in Romania for a number of years, and through our work have put ourselves in the strongest possible position to be granted the Exploration License within the coming weeks. We look forward to sharing details of the application process and timelines over coming weeks."
Application for an Exploration License in Romania is via a competitive tender, following on from public advertising of a pending area for bid. In the current tender round, twenty-one Exploration Licenses were available for bid including the Bihor Sud license. The tender process is adjudicated on the basis of technical and financial merit, with substantial credit given to the work completed under the prior Prospecting Permit. Leading Edge Materials, via subsidiary LEM Resources, is the only company to have held a Prospecting Permit over the entire Exploration License application area. Leading Edge Materials will be advised in the coming week of the presence of competing bids, and the timeline to being notified of whether granting is successful.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Leading Edge Materials Corp.
Mr. Mark Saxon, Interim CEO

Leading Edge Materials Partners With Ångström Advanced Battery Centre for Natural Graphite Anode Research
Vancouver, Canada – Leading Edge Materials Corp. (“Leading Edge Materials”) or (the Company”) (TSXV: LEM) (OTCQB: LEMIF) is pleased to announce the Company’s participation in a Swedish Government Funded research project entitled “Natural Swedish Graphite for Future Lithium Ion Batteries”.
Leading Edge Materials is a founding participant in the project, along with the Ångström Advanced Battery Centre (“ÅABC”), Uppsala University, Sweden. The project is focused on the application and optimization of high purity natural graphite as anode material for lithium ion batteries, using graphite sourced from Leading Edge Material’s Woxna project in Sweden. Major funding is provided by Vinnova, a Swedish government agency working under the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation to promote research investment.
The Natural Swedish Graphite project brings together a very knowledgeable team with decades of lithium ion battery research and development experience. Led by Uppsala University’s Professor Kristina Edström, the ÅABC is the largest battery research group in the Nordic countries with research focused on all aspects of the chemistry of rechargeable batteries and fuel cells. The total project budget is SEK 1.75 million (approximately CA$270,000) and the project is scheduled to run until Q3 2019.
Professor Kristina Edström stated “ÅABC is looking forward to working with Woxna battery graphite to develop a superior anode material both technically and environmentally for the future cell manufacturers in Europe and the world.”
Project aims include:
• The manufacture of natural graphite powder with optimized particle size distribution and shape to facilitate rapid lithium movement;
• Optimization of the natural graphite purification process with as low environmental impact as possible;
• Testing of graphite electrodes using new processes and binders for commercialization;
• Development of polymeric composites that withstand long term exposure to high temperatures and humidity by using graphene as diffusion barrier.
Blair Way, President and CEO, stated “The Ångström Centre is highly regarded globally with many decades of lithium ion battery research and development. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Professor Edström and her team on the further development of natural graphite from Woxna for high value anode materials.”

The Tesla Connection (found this online)
I mentioned Dr. Ed Buiel graduated in 1998 with a PHD under Dr. Jeffery Dahn.
This is the same Dr. Jeffery Dahn who recently signed an exclusive contract with
Tesla. Dr. Dahn has been working to increase the performance of the company’s
(already cutting-edge) batteries since June 8, 2016.
Coulometrics is an advanced energy storage consulting and manufacturing
company. It provides cell assembly and testing services for LIB, EDLC, NiMH, and
lead acid batteries. It also provides mixing, coating, calendaring, and slitting services
for battery companies.
It doesn’t take a lot of digging to figure out that the company that can most efficiently
work through the qualification process and have ready material to provide will benefit
from a friendly introduction to not only Tesla, but the many potential customers
who are looking for a stable, diversified supply outside of China.
The European Commission and Europe’s major companies are investing strongly
into renewable energy generation, efficient energy storage, and the light-weighting
and electrification of transport. They want a local source. I believe Leading Edge
Materials is uniquely positioned to provide it.
