Enviro permit for Talga's graphite mine in Sweden approved
The environmental permit for the Nunasvaara South natural graphite mine, which forms part of the vertically integrated Vittangi anode project, in northern Sweden, has been approved.
ASX-listed Talga Group said on Thursday that the positive decision by the Swedish Land and Environment Court was subject to a three-week appeals period.
“This key approval is a significant achievement, and a major step in Talga establishing its Swedish natural graphite anode production,’ said MD Mark Thompson.
“The approval is the culmination of extensive technical, environmental and social studies over many years and has followed a highly rigorous permitting process. We look forward to continued engagement with all stakeholders as we progress towards mining this strategic resource for use in sustainable European battery production.”
The Nunasvaara South graphite mine is designed to feed Talga’s planned 19 500 t/y battery anode manufacturing plant which is progressing through a separate permitting process. The company is hoping to start early works at the refinery at the start of the second half of 2023.
The integrated Vittangi project will use 100% renewable electricity to extract graphite, a European Union defined critical material, and refine it into coated anode for lithium-ion batteries. The first stage of the project will produce 19 500 t/y of anode for 24 years from the integrated mine-to-anode operation.
