Project Description
A concept study, including preliminary metallurgical testwork, has highlighted the outstanding potential of the Balama Central graphite project.
The project has indicated and inferred resources of 16.3-million tonnes grading 10.4% total graphitic carbon (TGC) and 0.21% vanadium pentoxide.
The study has found that the project could produce higher-value, very coarse flake-size graphite, with more than 50% classed as large and jumbo graphite flake grading at 97% TGC.
