EcoGraf Signs Co-operation Agreement with European Investment Bank EcoGraf Limited, (“EcoGraf” or “the Company”) (ASX: EGR; FSE: FMK), is pleased to announce the Company has signed a Cooperation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the European Investment Bank (“EIB”) for the provision of technical assistance to progress the Company’s vertically integrated HFfree business in the Critical Raw Materials (CRM) sector. Under the Agreement, the European Investment Bank (EIB) will provide technical assistance to advance a defined package of activities across the business. This includes support for the development of the Company’s planned Epanko Project expansion study1 and Midstream Mechanical Shaping Facility2 in Tanzania, as well as services aimed at enabling the integration of the project into the EU battery anode value chain. The technical assistance activities are funded under the “EU–OACPS Technical Assistance Facility on Critical Raw Materials (CRM)”, which supports initiatives that contribute to the objectives of the EIB’s CRM strategic initiative and are aligned with the European Union’s Critical Raw Materials Act3. This Agreement follows the EIB site visit in June 2025 and the positive meetings in Brussels where the Company presented its vertically integrated graphite developments at the EU Priority Projects Showcase organised as part of EU Critical Raw Materials Facility policy initiatives4. The EU recognises the Company’s Epanko Project as a key development for the establishment of new, long-term and sustainable battery mineral supply chains for the European industry. In addition, the Company was strongly encouraged to apply for Strategic Project status under the CRM Act, to cover both its Upstream and Downstream developments. Attaining Strategic Project status is expected to reinforce EcoGraf’s vision of contributing to the global transition towards a cleaner environment through its vertically integrated battery anode materials business. EcoGraf Managing Director, Andrew Spinks, commented “We are excited to partner with the EIB and work together in various strategic initiatives to develop reliable and sustainable supply chains for critical raw materials.” “The EIB is pleased to support preparatory work that contributes to the development of responsible critical raw material value chains. This will spur potential public and private sector eligible investments that will allow for long term, sound and sustainable projects to be implemented at a later stage. This cooperation reflects our commitment to fostering win-win partnerships with European and African partners, supporting resilient supply chains,” said EIB Director for Corporates and Global Activities, Andrea Clerici. 11.02.2026 CET/CEST Dissemination of a Corporate News, transmitted by EQS News - a service of EQS Group.
