Investor presentation summary
25 Mar, 2026Project development timeline and milestones
Acquired the project in 2020 and advanced from early-stage development to pre-production in six years.
Completed maiden and revised JORC resource and reserve estimates, metallurgical testing, and a 7,000m drill program.
Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) completed, with first production targeted for March 2026.
$15 million invested to date, with further funding and offtake contracts planned for 2026.
Market positioning and global trends
Global demand for natural flake graphite is expected to double by 2030.
Western buyers are seeking ex-China supply due to supply chain risks, but ex-China supply remains limited.
China currently dominates graphite production and purification, but new ex-China mines could shift the market.
First-mover advantages are significant for new suppliers in the next 24 months.
Resource scale, quality, and infrastructure
Project hosts an estimated 2-3 billion tonnes, with JORC resource increased 66% to 43Mt @ 5.76% TGC by 1Q 2026.
JORC reserves increased 47% to 23Mt @ 5.18% TGC in Nov 2025, extending mine life and production rates.
Four high-grade deposits, all within a licensed area, with shallow mining enabling lower costs.
Only 2% of the project area drilled, indicating significant upside potential.
Key infrastructure includes proximity to main roads and hydropower from the national grid.
