62.3 million tonnes of ore reserve. 140km² licensed area. Positioned in one of the world's most significant flake graphite belts — ready for production at scale.
Successfully completed exploration and technical development phases of the Project, with 796,500t of proven resources through 3km² sampling. The team is ready to build a mining operation at scale.
Technical work is supervised by an in-house operational team with industry experience spanning Germany, Brazil, Sri Lanka and Tanzania — years of graphite mining experience on similar projects for publicly-listed competitors.
Through a multi-generational presence in Tanzania, the team has developed an excellent contact base and strong government support to pursue the project. The operational landscape is a mining-friendly region with internationally significant graphite reserves.
Phase 1 capital expenditure of $40m USD unlocks a project with a net present value of $104m and 35% ungeared IRR.
The South Nachu project produces Flake Graphite — the most important natural graphite commodity, accounting for 80–90% of the value of US natural graphite imports.
As transport continues electrification, demand for graphite is accelerating. Global graphite demand is expected to significantly exceed supply, driven by the rapid growth of li-ion batteries for EVs and grid-scale storage.
China currently dominates global graphite production at approximately 67% of worldwide output. The South Nachu project positions Eminent Minerals as a critical non-Chinese supplier to global markets — with strong policy support in the US, EU and beyond.
The South Nachu project sits at the upstream of a high-value graphite supply chain serving the world's fastest-growing industries.
