The Belkalhan graphite mine in South Serbia is one of the most suitable resources –it is based on the 16,6% high-quality graphite deposit which even has been designated as a mineral deposit of national interest in the EU. With 4 million tons of reserves confirmed on only 25% of the project location, the project offers the highest possible potential to owners and its future new shareholders who are willing to join forces in this unique R&D critical raw material exploitation.
Belkalhan mining exploitation company confirmed that new drills on graphite intersections are underway with preliminary results showing the same 16,6% or higher quality.
The location of the mine, with its numerous competitive advantages in infrastructure/logistics/processing/ and R&D facility in the parallel focus of Belkalhan development teams supported by experienced mining experts and university mining institutes.
Belkalhan teams are developing and engineering future processing facility designs along with tailor-made exploitation and processing technologies which will fit the local landscape with the highest environment and social impact standards and action plans. Stakeholder action plans are under development as well as its strategic investor relations strategy is already operational due to a large number of inquiries from Asian markets.
Belkalhan remains devoted to its primary strategic orientation and the goal of opening an R&D centre trough JV which will be locally community-based and will serve as a technology transfer centre for the Serbian and European industries.
Potential JV partnership and investment will enable Belkalhan to integrate downstream into the manufacturing of graphite products for several high-growth markets including lithium-ion batteries/EVs, fuel cells, graphene and nanomaterials, thermal management in consumer electronics, smart building products and fire retardants. Graphite deposits with unique European quality make the mine one of the most attractive in Europe.
