Renascor Resources
Investment Highlights
Australia’s Largest Graphite Deposit
-
Siviour deposit is large, shallow and open along strike
-
Considerable scope to add to resource with follow-up drill program
High Quality Deposit
-
Renascor is targeting a coarse flake, high purity concentrate, with initial petrology testing +80% in super-jumbo, jumbo and large categories
-
Unique shallow, tabular orientation delivering the potential for straightforward low-cost mining
Tier One Mining Jurisdiction
- Targeting the establishment of cost competitive supply in tier one jurisdiction
Material Upside
-
Siviour is a recent discovery and trades at a material discount to its peers
-
Several near term catalysts offering scope to align valuation with peers
