- 01moves €1.9m from at risk to secured
Close the graphite geodata gap
Collect concession polygons and a Hansen tree-cover check for the remaining 38% of graphite volume.
- 02raises lithium claims from L3 to L5
Verify the lithium refining step
Obtain a chain-of-custody statement from the converter linking brine batches to carbonate output.
