  • China-focused commodity marketing advisor Mastermines appointed by Renascor

  • Mastermines has extensive experience in China and other Asian countries in key end-user markets for graphite, including the battery and industrial sectors

  • The initial focus of the engagement will be the development of strategic relationships in China with potential offtake partners for Renascor’s Siviour Graphite Project

Renascor Resources (ASX: RNU) is pleased to announce the appointment of China-specialist Mastermines to assist in the development of strategic commercial relationships with potential offtake partners in China and other Asian countries for Renascor’s Siviour Graphite Project.

Renascor’s Siviour Graphite Deposit is the largest graphite deposit in Australia and one of the largest graphite deposits in world, with a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource of 80.6Mt @ 7.9% total graphitic carbon (TGC) for 6.4Mt of contained graphite, consisting of an Indicated Resource of 51.8Mt @ 8.1% TGC for 4.4Mt of contained graphite and an Inferred Resource of 21.8Mt @ 7.6% for 2.2Mt of contained graphite.

Earlier this year, Renascor completed the Siviour Scoping Study, which has established the preliminary economic parameters of potential production from Siviour. See Renascor ASX announcement dated 23 May 2017. Renascor is currently progressing with a pre-feasibility study for Siviour, with results expected next quarter.

As Renascor continues the advancement of Siviour’s development, Renascor is focused on attracting potential offtake and strategic partners.

China represents among the largest end-users of graphite, with significant demand in both the traditional industrial sectors, as well as the growing new energy sector, where graphite is the principal raw material used in the anode component of lithium-ion batteries.

The appointment of Mastermines is intended to further advance Siviour through the development of strategic relationships in China, as well as other Asian countries where graphite demand is strong.

Commenting on the appointment of Mastermines, Renascor Managing Director David Christensen said:

China is a key market for graphite, with growing demand for large quantities of the type of high-quality graphite we expect to produce from Siviour.

As we near the completion of our Siviour Pre-Feasibility Study, we are delighted to have the assistance of the experienced team at Mastermines in accelerating the development of commercial relationships in China to assist in fast-tracking Siviour into production.
