Siviour to have a 30 year mine life - Renascor

A prefeasibility study (PFS) into the Siviour graphite project, in South Australia, has estimated that the project could deliver some 117 000 t/y of graphite over a 30-year mine life. Project developer Renascor Resources reported on Wednesday that the project would deliver 142 000 t/y of product over the first ten years of operation, based on the current maiden ore reserve of 45.2-million tonnes, grading 7.9% total graphitic carbon, for 3.6-million tonnes of contained graphite.
