To harness the vast potential of Brazil's graphite reserves to establish ourselves as the foremost leader in the industry.
Through cutting-edge exploration, extraction, and refinement techniques, we aim to deliver superior quality graphite products to meet the evolving demands of various sectors, while prioritizing environmental stewardship and community prosperity.
To pioneer the global graphite industry through unparalleled innovation and sustainable practices.
Leveraging Brazil's abundant resources to empower a greener and more technologically advanced future.
138,983 Hectares
Bahia Graphite’s total land package totals 138,983 Hectares firmly establishing our presence in Brazil as a major graphite player.
Bahia Graphite presents a set of areas located in the north-central region of the state of Bahia, Brazil that can be divided into 11 blocks, namely: Itaitu, Cachoeira Grande, Riachão do Jacuípe, Capela, Conceição, Filadélfia, Nova Fátima, Ponto Novo, Riachão, Baixa Grande and Pedras Altas. These areas are located close to important mineral deposits such as Gold (Jacobina, Santaluz and Teofilândia cities), Chromium (Campo Formoso and Andorinha cities), Copper (Caraíba city), Graphite (Capim Grosso city), Lead and Zinc (Mundo Novo city), in addition to several occurrences of other substances such as phosphate, nickel and barium mapped by the Geological Service of Brazil.
Our flagship asset, Itaitu has been the primary focus of Bahia Graphite where we have established a NI 43-101 Compliant MRE. Exploration work completed in 2023 and 2024 consisted of Geological Mapping, Trenching (14 trenches for 414 meters), Diamond Drilling (17 drill holes for 980.9m) and Bulk Density determinations. The inferred MRE was calculated at 2% TGC cutoff grade and produced 1,759,931 tonnes at a grade of 9.15% TGC for a total of 205,642 contained graphite tonnage.
The Capela asset is a 33,806 Ha property that has recently show cased impressive results. This asset has a mapped graphite body estimated to be approximately 1.4 km in length, with graphite outcrop located between two blocks with graphite occurrences. Geochemical results demonstrate high graphite content ranging from 21.89 to 26.23 % TGC.
