Slocan, British Columbia - The Government of British Columbia, through the Advanced Research and Commercialization program for Clean Energy Vehicles ('ARC'), has selected Eagle Graphite (TSX VENTURE:EGA) ('Eagle Graphite', 'We', or the 'Company') for a grant of $290,000. The grant is in support of the Company's planned 2-year program to develop and commercialize silicon-modified battery anodes made with graphite from Eagle's Black Crystal graphite quarry and plant in Passmore, British Columbia.
'Under our CleanBC plan, we are building a low-carbon economy that will reduce climate pollution and create good jobs across our province,' said Michelle Mungall, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and MLA for Nelson-Creston. 'To get there faster, we are supporting innovative companies like Eagle Graphite to develop made-in-B.C. technology that will put us on the path to a cleaner, better future.'
