Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Market Context and Strategic Positioning
Graphite is essential for anode production, with China controlling over 95% of the market, creating supply chain risks and opportunities for alternative sources.
Mahenge is the world's second largest graphite ore reserve, offering a scalable solution with a high proportion of large flake graphite and up to 99% concentrate purity.
Only two major graphite suppliers remain, positioning Mahenge to meet growing EV and industrial demand, with battery demand growing at over 30% annually.
Large flake graphite supports both industrial and next-gen tech applications, with Mahenge's 70% large flake output supporting higher average prices despite depressed fines pricing from China.
Tanzania's stable economic environment and infrastructure investments support project development, aligning with Vision 2050.
Project Economics and Operational Advantages
Project NPV is US $1.4bn post-tax, with a 36% post-tax IRR and initial capex of US $231m for Module 1.
Weighted average price at the bottom of the cycle is twice the cost of production, ensuring strong margins, with all-in sustaining cost forecast at US $518/t.
Access to low-cost grid hydro power (AUD 0.08/unit), first quartile cost position, and proximity to East Africa's largest port reduce operational costs.
Initial operating life of 26 years with a steady production plan across four modules, using only a third of the resource.
Modular development approach allows for phased expansion, risk management, and supports offtake and funding for future modules.
Partnerships, Funding, and Offtake
POSCO is a cornerstone partner, providing up to US $50m in development finance, holding a board seat, and securing downstream expertise and offtake.
Debt facility of US $204m secured from local African banks, with additional equity support from POSCO and local financiers including DBSA, IDC, and CRDB.
Over 95% of Module 1 production is secured under binding offtake, option, or MOU agreements, including a 12-year contract with POSCO and additional contracts with Chinese buyers.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
