Namangale graphite project.

Volt Resources.

Project Description
The strategy for the project has been amended.

A previously completed prefeasibility study considered a number of production scenarios, ranging from 60 000 t/y to 240 000 t/y of graphite concentrate over a 20-year mine life.

The revised strategy is to develop Namangale in two stages.

Stage 1 will now focus on the potential development of a 10 000 t/y to 20 000 t/y graphite mine and processing facility, with products expected to be exported to the US, China and other markets.

Stage 2 expansion will be based on market demand.
