Sarytogan already hosts a massive mineral resource of 229 million tonnes grading 28.9 per cent total graphitic carbon (TGC) for 66 million tonnes of contained graphite, placing it among the world’s larger undeveloped deposits.
Recent test work confirmed the project’s metallurgical credentials, with flotation concentrates grading above 90 per cent carbon and further purification achieving an extraordinary 99.9992 per cent carbon purity, or “five nines”, without chemical pre-treatment.
A 2024 pre-feasibility study outlined a staged development plan designed to limit upfront capital costs while allowing production growth alongside market penetration. That study also delivered a probable ore reserve of 8.6 million tonnes at 30 per cent TGC for 2.16 million tonnes of contained graphite concentrate.
Sarytogan plans to market three key product streams: microcrystalline graphite for traditional industrial uses, ultra-high-purity fines for advanced technologies and spherical purified graphite for lithium-ion battery anodes.
Global hunger for critical metals is showing no signs of slowing, as Western nations scramble to secure supply chains in the wake of China’s tightening export controls over the past year.
Backed by influential investors, record-setting purity results and a strategic European designation, Sarytogan holds a powerful trifecta that could see it emerge as a cornerstone supplier of ultra-clean graphite to global battery markets.
