Quantum Graphite's Uley 2 Project - Graphite
Mineral Resources and Reserves (JORC 2012):
Total Mineral Resources (Uley 2, Stage 1) 6.3Mt @ 11.10% TGC and Total Ore Reserves 4.0Mt @ 11.89% TGC.
Processing path and methodology:
Production of minimum 55,000 tonnes of high-purity coarse flake graphite.
The plant will accept run-of-mine ore and liberate graphite particles through crushing and grinding followed by flotation and polishing sections which will be critical for enhanced flake graphite recoveries and upgrading graphite flake to maximise purity and coarse flake size.
Investment opportunity
Off-take agreement in place with The Sunlands Company Pty Ltd for approximately 20% of annual production for its thermal storage applications.
Seeking other off-take agreements.
Seeking further processing opportunities.
Seeking joint-venture partners.
