Name of the Project
Graphite micronising plant.

Location
Collie, Western Australia.

Project Owner/s
International Graphite.

Project Description
A definitive feasibility study has demonstrated the technical, financial and sales potential of building and operating a nominal 4 000 t/y graphite micronising plant. The facility includes micronising mills capable of producing up to 5 000 t/y of micronised product, depending on the final mesh specifications of the product.

The plant will be the first of its kind in Australia.

Initially, the facility will treat third-party imported graphite concentrates and will be available to treat a portion of graphite concentrates from Comet Resources’ Springdale graphite project, once its operations begin.

The existing battery anode material research and development facilities at Collie will be expanded to accommodate the proposed new graphite micronising facility.
