Black Rock Mining Ltd (ASX:BKT). BKT’s Mahenge Graphite Project (Mahenge) located in Tanzania hosts a multi-generational graphite resource and is one of the largest JORC-compliant flake graphite resources globally, with 213m tonnes @ 7.8% TGC, and a reserve of 70m tonnes @ 8.5% TGC.[1] The company's Chief Executive Officer is John de Vries.[2]
Black Rock’s Enhanced Definitive Feasibility Study[3] for the Project considers a four-stage construction schedule to deliver in full production 347,000 tonnes per annum of up to 99% LOI Ultra Purity flake graphite concentrate for 26 years.
The project has a number of distinct advantages, including:
- Tier 1 scale;
- First quartile costs due to hydro-dominated grid power;
- Higher revenue profile with large flake distribution and purity; and
- Backed by largest ex-china anode producer, POSCO.[4]
All key Govt agreements and permits are in place, along with US$153m in debt approvals.[5] The project is construction ready, subject to financing.
