Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - September 3, 2024) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Limited (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce this business update on its recently commissioned Modular Graphene Production Plant at Richlands, Australia.Figure 1: Graphene Production Plant Project TeamTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/221932_ac9be57c04a1b96c_001full.jpgThe newly commissioned Graphene Production Plant as seen in Figure 1 has been operating and producing Graphene since its commissioning date in December 2023.The performance of the production unit has exceeded the Company's expectations in both graphene production rate and graphene quality. The Company continues to perform minor optimisations with this new production plant which have both increased production yield and quality of the graphene.The Company has also authorised a total of AU$250k of capital expenditure for new equipment for quality assurance and quality control purposes of the Company's graphene for its Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery and its liquid graphene products, THERMAL-XR® and G® Lubricant. The equipment being procured by the Company includes: a Raman Spectrometer and a Particle Size Analyzer amongst others. These are sophisticated analytical and characterisation laboratory equipment which will be operated by GMG scientists and technicians. To date the Company has been fortunate to work with various Universities to obtain this analysis. Once the equipment is procured, delivered, commissioned and operational the Company will largely be self-sufficient on testing of its nano materials.GMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We are very excited to see the new modular plant exceed expectations in terms of graphene production and quality. The expansion of our graphene characterisation equipment will also reduce learning loop times for optimisation projects where we no longer have to wait for University equipment access. The graphene production system uses GMG's self developed innovative plasma technology which creates the high quality graphene GMG's end products need to deliver their notable benefits."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "It is great to see the Company's production technology maturing to this point as this is GMG's fundamental core competency. Ongoing graphene production and characterisation developments will only support the Company's ability to develop and provide its useful liquid graphene products and Graphene Aluminium Ion Battery."About GMG www.graphenemg.comGMG is a clean-technology company which seeks to offer energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene, including that manufactured in-house via a proprietary production process.GMG has developed a proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications. The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications.In the energy savings segment, GMG has focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving paint), lubricants and fluids. In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of G+AI Batteries.For further information please contact:Craig Nicol, Chief Executive Officer & Managing Director of the Company at craig.nicol@graphenemg.com, +61 415 445 223Leo Karabelas at Focus Communications Investor Relations, leo@fcir.ca, +1 647 689 6041Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This news release includes certain statements and information that may constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

With a no-code approach, user-friendly UI, and advanced segmentation capabilities and analytics, Product Experiences allows product and growth managers to effortlessly personalize as well as optimize app and website user experiences. In today's competitive app landscape, the stakes are higher than ever for businesses. With 50% of users uninstalling an app within 30 days and 25% abandoning it after just one use, the pressure is on the brand to deliver personalized experiences. Any issue in user experiences can lead to swift abandonment given the ease of access to other alternatives.

The app updates that bring these changes are often the result of a complex, time-consuming and resource-intensive process.
