ASX RELEASE
Evion Group NL (“Evion” or “the Company”) (ASX: EVG), a vertically integrated graphite and critical minerals developer, is pleased to announce that it has acquired an option granted by Globex Nevada Inc. to purchase a 100% right, title and interest in 14 contiguous unpatented lode claims located in Lincoln County, Nevada (“CARP Fluorspar Project” or “the Project”). The claims cover a surface area of 117.06 hectares within the Viola Mining District.
Evion has also identified and staked 45 unpatented claims immediately adjacent to the CARP Fluorspar Project covering an additional ~376 hectares which are considered to have strong potential for new fluorspar discoveries.
Managing Director David Round commented:
“We’re delighted to have secured the Carp Fluorspar Project in Nevada, USA and stake the surrounding claims. The Project area has a strong history of producing high-grade fluorspar concentrate and our early assessment suggests the existing project ground and adjacent staked claims are highly prospective for future development.
We believe this project, commodity and location fits perfectly within our strategy to be a leading producer of vitally important critical minerals in the future. In considering this acquisition, we carefully reviewed the economic and geopolitical dynamics that currently exist for this commodity and discovered, as others have too, that the U.S. is a large consumer of this material but has previously relied on imports from China and other parts of the world. We also determined that the resources available in other parts of the world appear to be in short supply.
This is similar to the graphite supply market, and we believe this diversification into one of the most important critical minerals is a perfect fit for our development plans.
Given our strong relationships with the EU and ongoing support from partners in the USA, we are very excited about this acquisition and look forward to rolling out our plans for the development of these projects over the next 12 months.”
About Fluorspar
- Recognised as a Critical Mineral by the U.S., EU, Canada, Australia and Japan.

Carp Fluorspar Project Overview
The Carp Fluorspar Project is located in southeastern Nevada, Lincoln County, approximately 140 km northeast of Las Vegas, within the historic Viola Mining District. The project comprises 14 contiguous unpatented BLM lode claims (FL-1 to FL-14), staked in March 2024, totalling approximately 117 hectares. The claims are situated on Bureau of Land Management administered public land with established road access.
Historical Production
The Carp Project is not a greenfields concept. It has a documented production history that confirms the presence of commercially recoverable, high-grade fluorspar mineralisation:
- Approximately 44,900 tonnes produced from four open pits between 1958 and 1971 at an average grade of ~69% CaF₂.
- Sold direct to Kaiser Steel Corporation as metallurgical-grade ("metspar") product without prior concentration, only crushing.
- Historic mining was confined to four shallow open pits (South, Central, West, and North pits 1 and 2).

Historical Exploration
A surface sampling program was performed in 2024, and the Company is undergoing verification checks on the results. News on these results will be released to the market over the coming weeks.
Surrounding Prospective Land
Evion has also identified and staked 45 unpatented claims adjacent to the Carp Fluorspar Project which are considered to have strong potential for new fluorspar discoveries.
Fluorspar Overview
Fluorspar, also known as fluorite, is the naturally occurring mineral calcium fluoride (CaF₂) and is an essential critical mineral for various industrial applications due to its high fluorine content. Fluorspar is categorised into different grades depending on its quality:
- Acidspar is a high-purity form (>97% CaF₂) primarily used in the production of hydrofluoric acid, a precursor for several high-value fluorochemicals.
- Metspar is typically 60% to 96% CaF₂ and is used as a metallurgical flux in steel and aluminium smelting.
- Other grades include ceramicspar and cementspar.
Global fluorspar production in 2025 was approximately 10.2 Mt, roughly a 7% increase from the 9.5 Mt produced in 2024. Currently the United States imports 100% of its fluorspar.¹
Projected growth in demand and pricing for fluorspar
Global demand for fluorspar is expected to experience sustained structural growth, underpinned by its critical role in hydrofluoric acid production and downstream fluorochemical supply chains. Hydrofluoric acid is an essential input into a wide range of high-growth industries including lithium-ion batteries, semiconductors, electric vehicles, nuclear fuel processing, aluminium, steel, and next-generation refrigerants. As global electrification accelerates and advanced manufacturing expands, fluorspar demand is increasingly being driven by mid-stream fluorochemicals, polyvinylidene fluoride (a key battery binder) and semiconductor etching for advanced technology and defence related applications.
On the supply side, the market remains fundamentally constrained, with production concentrated in a limited number of jurisdictions and increasing regulatory pressures and geopolitical complexity affecting key exporting countries. At the same time, global fluorite resources are being depleted, most notably in China, with limited scope for substitution across key supply chains.

up 30% of global production). China and Mexico also hold the world’s largest reserves with 86 kt (27%) and 68 kt (21%), respectively, out of the 317,200 kt of estimated global reserves.
Notably, the United States has had minimal domestic fluorspar production since 1990 and is essentially completely import-reliant with approximately 400 kt to 500 kt of fluorspar imported annually.³
Support from the U.S. for Development
The United States has increasingly recognised fluorspar as a critical mineral, given its essential role in defence, advanced manufacturing, and energy transition supply chains. With the country currently almost entirely import-dependent, there is a strong policy focus on securing reliable domestic sources of supply of fluorspar. This creates a supportive backdrop for new fluorspar developments, with projects well-positioned to benefit from federal and state-level initiatives aimed at strengthening critical mineral independence, streamlining permitting, and accelerating project delivery timelines.
A range of government-backed programs and agencies may provide direct and indirect support for project development. Notably, designation under FAST-41 (Title 41 of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act) can facilitate a more coordinated and transparent federal permitting process, reducing approval risk and timelines for qualifying projects. In addition, support mechanisms may be available through organisations such as the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, which have mandates to fund, secure, and advance critical mineral supply chains. These pathways can include grants, low-cost financing, offtake support, and strategic partnerships.
The alignment of strong policy support, funding availability, and streamlined permitting frameworks well positions U.S.-based fluorspar projects to benefit from a favourable development environment. As geopolitical and supply chain considerations continue to drive investment into domestic critical minerals production, projects that can demonstrate quality, scale, and clear pathways to production are increasingly likely to attract both government and private sector backing.⁴
How this acquisition complements Evion’s growth strategy
The proposed acquisition of the Carp Fluorspar Project in Nevada represents a strategically significant step in Evion’s evolution into a diversified critical minerals supplier, expanding beyond its established graphite base into fluorine-based industrial and battery supply chains in the United States.
This transaction complements and strengthens Evion’s existing portfolio, including:
