Infinity Stone forms AirCarbon subsidiary for Rockstone Graphite Project
by CM staff
Infinity Stone has entered a partnership with R&D Innovations to use their patent-pending and proprietary air classification technology to mill graphite material into a fine graphite concentrate for potential use as anode material in lithium-ion batteries.
VANCOUVER — Infinity Stone Ventures Corp. has formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, AirCarbon Technology Corp., to develop the Rockstone Graphite Project. The company has also entered into a partnership with R&D Innovation Inc., to use their patent-pending and proprietary air classification separation technology to process samples from the Rockstone Graphite Project.
The Air Classification System eliminates the need for flotation, chemicals and drying in the graphite milling process and greatly reduces the capital costs for a traditional graphite mill. It has also been designed to eliminate the need for tailing ponds and greatly lessen the need for significant infrastructure at a mine site.
“I believe that Infinity Stone’s Rockstone material has the right geological make up for a very successful test run of our Air Classification System,” said Robert Rice, President of R&D Innovations Inc. “Over the years, we have come to understand where there are specific challenges with certain graphite deposits, and where there is hard rock graphite material that works well with dry air classification methods.”
Following the initial pilot run of R&D Innovation’s Air Classification System on Rockstone samples, the company intends to engage the NEI Corporation Inc. for coin cell testing and full material characterization of the Rockstone material. The testing will cover both traditional floated and chemically treated air classified material.
