SLOCAN, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESSWIRE / June 11, 2019 / The Government of British Columbia, through the Advanced Research and Commercialization program for Clean Energy Vehicles ('ARC'), has selected Eagle Graphite (TSX VENTURE: EGA) ('Eagle Graphite', 'We', or the 'Company') for a grant of $290,000. The grant is in support of the Company's planned 2-year program to develop and commercialize silicon-modified battery anodes made with graphite from Eagle's Black Crystal graphite quarry and plant in Passmore, British Columbia.

'To get there faster, we are supporting innovative companies like Eagle Graphite to develop made-in-B.C. technology that will put us on the path to a cleaner, better future.'
