Vancouver, BC / TheNewswire / November 9, 2017 - Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. ("LION" or, the "Company") (CSE: LION) The Company is pleased to announce that Mr. John Roozendaal B.Sc. (Geology) is joining the executive management team in the role of President and CEO of Global Li-ION Graphite.
His wide ranging experience in the industry, will greatly benefit the Company in its pursuit to becoming a leading producer of the raw materials essential to the bourgeoning energy storage revolution now underway. In addition to the goal of producing graphite the company is also exploring opportunities in the graphite to graphene processing technology space. (BEGO Technologies press release October 25, 2017 link here:) John was a founding director and President of VMS Ventures Corp., and involved in all aspects of the company from discovery to commercial production of the Reed Copper Mine in Manitoba.
Mr. Roozendaal states "I am very excited about the Company and its potential. Since the discovery of graphene was announced in 2004, billions of dollars have been invested in R & D by governments, institutions and the commercial sector. The results of this work show potential for a myriad of new ground-breaking technologies and applications. Though some are futuristic and may be years away, others, such as the energy storage sector is already here and growing with the push for electric powered vehicles by world governments. Global Lion intends to position itself as a leader in providing both the raw materials and as a participant in the processing of graphite to graphene oxide, to gain exposure to the full supply spectrum of this rapidly growing and very promising new material."
ABOUT BEGO TECHNOLOGIES
BEGO, an acronym for Bio Electro Chemical Graphene Oxide, is an ecofriendly peer reviewed PCT patent pending process ("Process") that uses Mother Nature's naturally occurring microbes to produce Graphene Oxide from graphite. Graphene Oxide is a precursor to producing Graphene. Commercialization of the Process is being advanced under the direction of Dr. Jin, the Process Co-Inventor in collaboration with experts at Colorado State University, BEGO's priority is to become a low cost high value producer of engineered graphene materials, one of which is dedicated to advancing the next generation graphene based electrode for energy storage.
