FOR FUNDING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES

  • MoU signed with Suzhou, a subsidiary of China National Building Materials Group, China's largest construction group

  • Covers participation in financing the construction of the Ancuabe Graphite Project and the provision of material testing and technical consulting services

Triton Minerals Limited (ASX: TON, Triton or the Company) is pleased to advise that it has signed a Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Suzhou Sinoma Design and Research Institute of Non-metallic Minerals Industry Co. Ltd. (Suzhou), a subsidiary of China National Building Material Group, China's largest construction group. Suzhou is one of China's leading graphite testing laboratories and provides graphite technical consulting services to China's leading graphite producers.

Under the MoU, Suzhou have expressed interest in participating in debt financing the development of Triton's Ancuabe Graphite Project (Project) in Mozambique, and providing technical consulting services in relation to graphite process technology, production line equipment, construction and commissioning and graphite product quality control.

As previously announced on 24 September 2018, Triton has signed an engineering, procurement and construction contract with MCC International Incorporation Limited (MCC). As such, Triton and Suzhou have agreed that the parties will endeavor to work alongside MCC to finalise Project financing and to leverage Suzhou's technical and industry experience to optimise the project flowsheet and provide technical input during Project construction.

Suzhou undertook preliminary research and due diligence on Triton's graphite projects and following meetings held in October 2018 the companies agreed key terms of the MoU. The parties will now progress discussions on project financing, mineral processing testing and engineering design optimisation.
