What is Graphite?

  • Graphite is a crystalline form of carbon that most commonly forms when carbon-rich rocks undergo metamorphism (pressure/temperature induced change).

  • ‣ Graphite (the mineral) consists of parallel sheets of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice. The individual sheets, one or .

  • few atoms in thickness, are called graphene

  • ‣ Graphite has an exceptionally high melting point, and very high thermal and electrical conductivity as well as other remarkable properties that make it useful for a large range of applications.

  • ‣ It can be synthesised from petroleum coke but the process is very energy intensive and costly compared to the production of natural graphite by mining.

  • ‣ Recovering graphite by mining involves normal open cut or underground methods followed by crush/grind and flotation similar to base metal deposits. Further purification, chemical and shaping may be required to form an end product.

Volume Comparison of Natural Graphite Market

Natural graphite market

  • ‣ Natural graphite demand is about 1.1Mt/yr, a volume similar to Nickel, with total value approximately US$1B/yr.

  • ‣ Graphite is most commonly sold as a concentrate by private contract and therefore prices are not transparent. Industry prices are surveyed and published by Industrial Minerals magazine.

  • ‣ Consumption is diverse with significant markets in steel production and refractories (50%), batteries, automotive parts and lubricants.

  • ‣ Graphite price is determined by particle (flake) size, carbon content (purity) and in some products; shape . Most natural graphite is sold to traders who upsell to refiners/purifiers, polishers and shapers before it is retailed to end user.

  • ‣ Graphite is finding new markets from new uses in products as diverse as insulation panels and battery/energy technologies. .

  • There is up to 10x more graphite than lithium in a Li-ion battery

  • ‣ China and Brazil supply >80% world graphite.

Europe Natural Graphite Imports

EU zone graphite consumption

  • ‣ EU consumes 20% of world’s natural graphite production, and imports 95% of its needs (vast majority from China).

  • ‣ EU has classified graphite as a “ critical raw material ”. ‣ Graphite consumers looking for reliable and quality supply outside of China.

  • ‣ Sweden is a currently major supplier of iron ore, copper, minerals to the EU markets and is a

  • gold and other .

  • historic graphite producer

  • ‣ Graphite deposits in Sweden can enjoy a distinct order / delivery time advantage compared to China and other jurisdictions.

Graphene Development Option

On 19 Feb 2014 Talga announced exceptional results from graphene testwork on Nunasvaara graphite. Key conclusions of the testwork include:

  • ‣ Unoxidised graphene can be directly and rapidly liberated from unprocessed , unpurified Nunasvaara graphite ore in a one-step no

  • environmentally friendly process i.e. crushing/grinding, sonication, microwaving, purification required.

  • ‣ Nunasvaara ore has extraordinary physical properties that enable the extraction to the . process and that may be unique deposit

  • Quality of graphene produced is outstanding and comparable to graphene made from synthetic routes (>99.9% C precursors).

  • ‣ Processing method suits upscaling to bulk production and produces graphite/graphene at a ratio of approximately 9 to 1 respectively.

  • ‣ Next stage tests will confirm graphite/graphene yields, particle size/ distribution, graphite recovery/purity, process upscalability and scoping study level opex/capex costs.

  • ‣ Potential to be lowest cost producer of bulk graphene for additive market polymers, metals, cement, conductive inks, 3D print materials.

TEM of Nunasvaara graphene

  • Graphene Market Growing fast, massive research and development funding

Exponential growth apparent in graphene patents a proxy for growing use.

‣ Market in infancy with most being used in government and private research institutions towards finalising applications.

==> picture [971 x 657] intentionally omitted <==

  • ‣ As for graphite, different applications require different qualities of graphene i.e. particle size and purity. High technology applications may require single, high purity sheets, while additives to polymers (plastics), inks, metals, concrete and other bulk markets may use multi-layer nanoplatelets.

  • ‣ Predictions of the value of graphene markets in 2020 range widely from approximately $140M to more than $1B depending on source.

  • ‣ Over $2.5B in graphene research funding has been launched in the EU (Sweden) alone in last 12 months.
