Ancuabe graphite project, Mozambique
Name of the Project
Ancuabe graphite project.
Location
Cabo Delgado province, Mozambique.
Project Owner/s
Triton Minerals.
Project Description
Ancuabe is considered as one of the biggest and highest-quality, undeveloped graphite deposits in the world.
A strategic review and desktop study has suggested a two-stage development strategy for the project.
Stage 1 proposes the development and construction of a commercial pilot plant (CCP) for a small-scale processing plant, capable of producing flake graphite concentrate on a commercial basis. Triton is investigating a processing plant that will target the processing of 100 000 t/y to 125 000 t/y of ore, producing 5 000 t/y to
8 000 t/y of graphite concentrate.
Stage 1 will be completed using a stage gate approach, with the decision to progress to the next phase being based upon the results of the previous stage.
Stage 2 envisages the project’s expanding into a large-scale operation as planned in the 2017 definitive feasibility study, incorporating value-add enhancements identified in Stage 1.
