Episode 65, Jun 11, 2023, 10:45 AM
Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby talk to Sapan about progress at Kasiya and the latest graphite news. The Kasiya Project has the potential to be the one of the world’s lowest cost and lowest global warming potential (GWP) sources of natural graphite. The Kasiya project is the largest natural rutile deposit and one of the largest flake graphite deposits in the world. Both minerals are critical to several of the world’s economies and decarbonisation targets. Kasiya has a geological benefit with both natural graphite and rutile hosted in soft, friable saprolite material at surface that can be mined, beneficiated, and purified with a considerably lower carbon footprint than hard-rock operations or synthetic graphite production. The results of the recent initial downstream testwork conducted by an independent German industrial mineral specialist demonstrated superior qualities and excellent suitability as feedstock for use in lithium-ion batteries. In 2022, the lithium-ion battery anode market became the biggest end-market for natural flake graphite. Greater capacity batteries, such as those required for electric vehicles, are expected to drive significant demand for graphite over the coming years.
