Corporate presentation summary
14 Sep, 2026Strategic positioning and market opportunity
Aims to become the first US-based producer of battery-grade natural graphite, strategically located in Alabama near major EV and battery manufacturing hubs within the U.S. Battery Corridor.
Vertical integration from mining to processing enhances supply continuity and operational control, addressing the current 100% reliance on imported battery-grade graphite.
Federal support includes a $25 million EXIM Bank loan, validating the strategic importance of the Kellyton project and supporting commercial production targets as soon as 2028.
The Coosa Graphite Deposit, the largest in the contiguous US, is expected to provide long-term domestic feedstock, with a 22-year mine life and a supply agreement in place until it becomes operational.
Project development and operational milestones
Kellyton Graphite Plant is under construction, with over 50% of the $245 million capital cost invested and Phase 1 targeting 12,500 mtpa battery-grade graphite production.
Phase 2 will expand total planned capacity to 50,000 mtpa, with ongoing customer engagement to secure offtake agreements.
Coosa Graphite Deposit has completed 234 drill holes, representing less than 10% of its 42,000-acre mineral rights, and is advancing through permitting under the federal FAST-41 program.
Key near-term catalysts include securing offtake and financing for Kellyton Phase 1, while longer-term milestones focus on advancing Coosa to production and expanding Kellyton capacity.
Financial highlights and investment case
Market capitalization stands at $482 million, with $38.2 million in cash and 128.6 million shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
Kellyton Phase 1 and 2 feasibility studies project average annual production of 12,500 mtpa and 37,500 mtpa CSPG, respectively, with development capital revised to $245 million for Phase 1 and $453 million for Phase 2.
Pre-tax IRR for Kellyton Phase 1 is 24.7% with a pre-tax NPV (8%) of $417 million; Phase 2 projects a 31.8% IRR and $1.4 billion NPV.
Leadership team brings expertise in industrial operations, mining, and capital markets, supporting execution of phased development aligned with market demand.
