Sarytogan Graphite Limited, an Australian company, announced record-high purity graphite extraction at its deposit in Kazakhstan’s Qaraganda region, Orda.kz reports.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, samples from twenty new wells at the Sarytogan site showed graphite content between 30.8% and 41.3%, with several wells exceeding 40% — considered an excellent result.
Sarytogan ranks among the largest graphite deposits in the world, with 8.6 million tons of proven ore reserves, representing roughly 30% of known global reserves. The mine has an estimated operational life of 60 years, and undiscovered reserves could be several times higher.
Kazakhstani graphite from this site is notable for its exceptional natural purity — 99.9992% carbon (“five nines”) even without processing. Such graphite is highly sought after for battery manufacturing, metallurgy, and the nuclear industry.
The company previously announced plans to expand operations and build a processing plant near Agadyr.
Recently, it was also revealed that the family of Marat Sarsenov, one of Kazakhstan’s wealthiest businessmen, will acquire around 20% of Sarytogan Graphite Limited as an investment.
