En una era en la que el cambio hacia la energía limpia es fundamental, Northern Graphite, una empresa visionaria, se encuentra a la vanguardia de la producción de grafito en América del Norte. Con una impresionante cartera que comprende tres proyectos importantes de grafito: la mina Lac des Iles en Quebec, el yacimiento de grafito Bissett Creek en Ontario y la planta de procesamiento Okorusu junto a la mina Okanjande en Namibia, Northern Graphite establece un precedente en la industria. Además, la compañía amplía su alcance a la propiedad South Okak Ni-Cu-Co en Labrador, subrayando su compromiso de asegurar una posición predominante en el mercado del grafito.
En el centro de las operaciones de Northern Graphite se encuentra la mina Lac des Iles en Quebec (LDI), una joya en el ámbito de la minería de grafito y el único productor en el panorama de América del Norte. Con una historia ilustre que abarca más de 30 años de producción continua, la mina LDI cristaliza como el activo clave de Northern Graphite. Su importancia estratégica se ve amplificada por su papel central en la estrategia de "De la Mina al Mercado" de la compañía. El legado de la mina LDI no es solo histórico; representa un símbolo de progreso y expansión. Los programas de perforación de verano en 2023 descubrieron mineralización cercana a la superficie, encendiendo el potencial de una inminente extensión de las operaciones mineras. Las proyecciones indican una capacidad de producción de hasta 25,000 toneladas de concentrado de grafito de alta calidad por año durante un mínimo estimado de ocho años según las reservas existentes.
Anticipándose a las futuras demandas, Northern Graphite canaliza estratégicamente el concentrado procesado de la operación LDI para alimentar su planta planificada de Materiales de Ánodo de Batería (BAM) en Baie-Comeau, Quebec. La compañía no se conforma con lo logrado hasta ahora, sino que persigue activamente la excelencia; las pruebas realizadas en octubre de 2023 confirmaron que el grafito de LDI cumple y supera las especificaciones de grado del material de ánodo de batería. Las implicaciones son amplias, indicando una mayor capacidad y promesas de longevidad en comparación con los productos disponibles actualmente.
La mentalidad expansionista de Northern Graphite se demuestra mediante la adquisición del 100% de interés en el depósito de grafito Mousseau. Ubicado a escasos 80 kilómetros de Lac des Iles y dentro de una distancia de transporte
