Why graphite is the next lithium

The energy transition and digitalization have made critical minerals top of mind for policymakers and investors alike. However, little is said about the role that these minerals, including graphite, play in the defense sector, and the

Of the critical battery minerals, cobalt is the one which Africa captures the largest share of the upstream mining. Benchmark’s Cobalt Forecast shows that 75% of mined cobalt comes from the continent, with the vast majority of this coming

Tirupati Graphite PLC (LON:TGR) is a fully integrated specialist graphite and graphene producer, with operations in Madagascar and India. The Company is delivering on this strategy by being fully integrated from mine to graphene. Its global

Graphite, a crystalline form of carbon, holds an indispensable role in various industries owing to its unique properties. From being a vital component in lithium-ion batteries to finding applications in steelmaking, lubricants, and beyond, graphite’s versatility

London-listed Tirupati Graphite has completed a 5 000 m diamond core programme and a 26 000 m auger drilling programme on its two flake graphite projects in Madagascar. Consultancy SRK Consulting is in the process of drafting an

Tirupati Graphite targets an output of 200,000 tonnes of graphite per year in Madagascar a few years from now. Though the company is very far from this number at the moment, it has been ramping up

Following recent speculation among investors, London-listed Tirupati Graphite has confirmed that there are no plans to take the company private, emphasising that the board remains confident that being listed on the LSE will help the company

Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb-like pattern. Graphene is considered to be the world’s thinnest, strongest and most conductive material – of both electricity and heat. All of these properties

The demand for graphite on the global market is growing continuously and at an increasingly rapid pace. This is hardly surprising, as the versatile material is used in many booming markets. Numerous components in the semiconductor

Over the past three decades, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have undergone a remarkable evolution, transitioning from powering small devices to fueling large-scale applications like electric vehicles (EVs) and stationary energy storage systems. An important advancement in this

From the copper belts of Zambia and the lithium and cobalt deposits in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the manganese mines in Gabon, the African continent holds much of the promise of the

In the race to build a circular battery industry, one mineral has been overlooked — until now As more and more Americans embrace electric vehicles, automakers and the federal government are racing to secure the materials
