Volt’s recent pre-feasibility study on Namangale outlines a 170ktpa operation feeding a high-purity graphite concentrate into the lithium-ion battery (LiB) and expandable graphite end-markets. We have compared Namangale to six of the most advanced East African graphite projects and note Volt’s high ranking in terms of estimated operating margin and concentrate purity. We note the project’s slightly above average capital intensity, but also that it is c 17% lower than Magnis
