Mahenge Liandu graphite project, Tanzania
Name of the Project
Mahenge Liandu graphite project.
Location
South-east Tanzania.
Project Owner/s
Armadale Capital.
Project Description
An updated definitive feasibility study (DFS) has reaffirmed Mahenge as a long-life low-cost graphite project.
The updated DFS envisages a staged ramp-up to facilitate near-term production, with 60 000 t/y graphite concentrate to be produced for the first three years (Stage 1) before increasing to a life-of-mine (LoM) average 109 000 t/y (Stage 2).
The LoM has decreased from 17 years in the DFS to 15 years in the updated DFS using just 25% of the project’s resource, which remains open in multiple directions offering significant upside to the project.
