Product Marketing & Offtake Partner16 Apr 2019 17:37
In February 2019 the Company announced a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Matrass Group, a China based graphite mining and processing company, for high quality graphite products produced at Mahenge Liandu. This includes a proposed offtake of 30,000tpa of graphite concentrate for an initial five-year term at a price to be agreed based on the Chinese benchmark for the quality of the graphite produced, representing over 60% of average target annual production.
The test work programme aimed to progress the MOU to a binding agreement is underway. Discussions with other potential offtake partners for the remaining 19,000tpa of graphite concentrate are also progressing positively.
Also, the mining license should be a formality judging by our Tanzania peers.
