EV batteries use graphite as one of their largest raw materials by weight. In Situ Max Potential: $518 BILLION!Today 00:34
✅ Typical EV battery contains 50–100kg of graphite
✅ Graphite demand is expected to grow significantly as EV adoption increases
✅ Blencowe’s Orom-Cross project is being developed to produce battery-grade graphite for lithium-ion batteries
✅ Test work has achieved 99.95–99.99% carbon purity, suitable for battery applications
✅ Contains natural flake graphite, the preferred feedstock for EV battery anodes
✅ Current resource contains ~2.48 million tonnes of graphite
✅ At $3,000/t battery-grade graphite, this equates to a theoretical in-situ value of ~$7.4 billion
✅ Blencowe has highlighted potential for a 3 billion tonne mineralised system across the wider project area
✅ At the current resource grade (5.76% TGC), this would imply ~172.8 million tonnes of contained graphite
✅ At $3,000/t, that equates to a theoretical in-situ value of ~$518 billion before mining, processing, financing, taxes, and other costs
The upside potential is enormous, mind boggling. It truly is a special unique asset.
This rerates significantly or gets bought out.
