READ: Hexagon Resources intends moving to feasibility study for graphite processing plant
The company aims to proceed to a feasibility study for its proposal to develop a standalone graphite purification and processing plant (GPPP).
This follows a positive scoping study which generated strong financial results highlighting the opportunity to deliver impressive margins by value-adding in the downstream graphite supply chain.
Potential development of the GPPP is separate to Hexagon’s interest in the McIntosh Flake Graphite Project in northern WA at which Mineral Resources Limited (ASX:MIN) has earned a 51% equity.
