The fascinating uses of graphite in everyday life

Uganda is endowed with over 50 different types of minerals and it ranks among the countries in Africa with the biggest number of minerals although the potential for viable exploitation has not yet been established for

Making every micrometer count is a key consideration for designers and engineers working on modern smartphones, and a new material could free up some valuable space. Scientists have developed a nanometer-thick form of graphite that helps

Graphite is one form (allotrope) of the element carbon. In graphite, carbon atoms are arranged in layers. This layering gives graphite many of its properties. How is Graphite Made? Graphite can be found naturally or may

Natural graphite is a soft, black, naturally occurring metallic mineral, composed of the element carbon (a crystalline, allotropic form of carbon). Graphite is used as a solid lubricant, as a moderator in nuclear reactors… and in

If you are like most people familiar with the periodic table, you might wonder how many of those substances you come in contact with on a daily basis. While carbon is known as the base element

Blencowe Resources plc (LON:BRES) has announced that core samples from its recently completed 69-hole diamond drill program (for approx. 1,950 meters), at the Orom-Cross graphite project in Uganda, have been dispatched to an accredited SGS laboratory

Roskill’s new report on the graphite industry identifies China as the source of more than 90% of world supply of amorphous graphite, and around two thirds of flake graphite supply in 2019. Flake graphite is a

The Orom-Cross Graphite Project lies within the Orom District, of northern Uganda. The Project tenements encompass an area of approximately 520,000 hectares stretching from Latitude 3°18’40’ to 3°30’40’ N and from Longitude 33°31’50’ to 33°45’40’ E.

The Uganda Chamber of Mines and Petroleum (UCMP) in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Next Media Group have launched the 90-day oil and mining media campaign in which they will be highlighting the journey

As Europe looks to declare its tech independence by becoming a leader in next-generation batteries, it will have to start by making its own graphite. The problem is, nearly all of it now comes from Asia, mainly

For me, the process to accept the superiority of graphite has not been easy. Like many GolfWRX readers, I grew up with a clear goal—become an elite player. A rite of passage on this journey, was

Graphite is a mineral composed of stacked sheets of carbon atoms with a hexagonal crystal structure. It is the most stable form of pure carbon under standard conditions. Graphite is very soft, has a low specific gravity, is relatively non-reactive, and has high electrical and thermal

Blencowe Resources plc (LON:BRES) has provided an update on all progress to date since its acquisition of the Orom-Cross Graphite Project in April, and its return to trading on LSE immediately thereafter. Highlights The Company’s Prospectus

Graphite/metal alloy bearings handle harsh environments that lubricated bearings can’t. For example, a grease-filled ball bearing was used on an oven-door latch—but in tests, the bearing seized and kept the door from latching. Engineers discovered that

Blencowe Resources plc (LON:BRES) has announced that further metallurgical test work will commence shortly on its Orom-Cross graphite project in Northern Uganda.  This work is critical to understanding the quality of the end-product that Orom-Cross can

The times are changing, and there are new demands for electric vehicles. Tesla has now become more valuable than Toyota. In an abysmal market, it has tripled since Match, 2020. More Electric Vehicles means a growing
