Project Development and Production

PGT finalised construction of its development in April 2024 with the commencement of a ramp up period of production.

  • Product has recently been shipped to Europe with sales volumes expected to achieve higher level in Q4, 2024
  • All government permits, infrastructure and treatment plants are now in place, ready to ensure full production capacity is achieved in the short term
  • The JV has already commenced planning for an upgrade to production that has the potential to more than double sales volumes and revenue.
  • Planned increases to production are in response to very strong demand which could see the JV become one of the world’s largest producers of Expandable Graphite outside of China – supplying expanding markets in Europe, the USA and southeast Asa
  • The JV is currently finalising purchase of graphite concentrate and sales of expandable graphite terms that will provide pricing certainty and are well within budget forecasts
