Renascor Resources Limited — Cyborg Score 7/10

Strong
Critical Minerals - Natural Graphite Mining & Battery Anode Material Manufacturing

Strategic Profile

The Siviour Graphite Deposit is the largest reported graphite reserve outside Africa, with plans to build a state-of-the-art processing facility to manufacture purified spherical graphite through an eco-friendly purification process. Renascor has secured a $185 million loan facility from Export Finance Australia for fast-tracked construction of a vertically-integrated battery anode material manufacturing facility.

Cyborg Score Rationale

The Siviour deposit contains 16.8Mt @ 8.2% for 1.4Mt contained graphite, one of the largest outside Africa, capable of delivering 140,000 tonnes per annum for 40 years.
