The Company has successfully fast tracked its flagship Maniry graphite project in Southern Madagascar, to the completed Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) Stage, in 4.5 years.
Graphite from the Maniry Project has met specifications consistent with those required by Tier 1:- Expandable graphite markets- Refractory industry participants- Lithium-ion anode material manufacturers.
The Company completed the Maniry DFS in November 2022.
Focus during Feasibility Study (BFS):
- Completed to meet the Equator Principles
- Demonstrated a financially attractive Project
- Build a Project that is technically robust to cater for different specifications for different customers
- Ensure that all stakeholders were consulted throughout the DFS process

Maniry Growth in 2022
Objective
Positive Outcome
Futher development into the potential downstream processing of coarse flake material
Significantly increase project revenue
Exploration in the high grade northwest zone of Maniry
Early high grade feed can substantially increase project NPV/IRR
Optimisation of flowsheet to further enhance recovery of the coarse flake material
Increase project revenue
Additional offtake arrangements
Further enhance project confidence
