In this KE Report company update, we catch up with Craig Nicol, Founder and CEO of Graphene Manufacturing Group (TSX.V:GMG – OTCQX:GMGMF), to dive into the company’s latest developments across all divisions – graphene production, G® Lubricant, batteries, and THERMAL-XR®.

Key topics include:

• Second Generation Graphene Plant: Early works are underway on a next-gen production facility that will boost graphene output 20x – up to 10 tonnes annually using the same inputs. This modular, scalable design could enable global rollout, with full commissioning targeted by mid-2026.
  
  
• Cost Efficiency and Environmental Advantage: The Gen 2 process is expected to significantly lower graphene production costs – potentially below the cost of mining graphite.
  
  
• G® Lubricant Commercialization: New independent engine tests show a 10% fuel saving and 33% drop in emissions. Sales have launched globally via g-lubricant.com, with distributor discussions underway. U.S. sales are pending EPA approval.
  
  
• Battery Division Progress: GMG is working with a top-tier U.S. battery innovation center to streamline pouch cell development. Craig outlines a timeline for customer testing and commercial readiness.
  
  
• THERMAL-XR® + Strategic Partners: While EPA approval is still needed for the U.S., interest remains strong – particularly from data centers and industrial HVAC users. New packaging and website updates are helping broaden access. OEM partnerships and licensing discussions are also discussed.
