First board appointments for new pure play graphite explorer

Two Western Australian mining executives, Tom Revy and George Bauk, have been appointed to the initial board of new pure play graphite explorer Graphite Australia, to drive the public float and ASX listing of the company. Graphite Australia will house the Western Australian graphite interests of Lithium Australia, which in May announced that it would spin out its graphite assets and list them separately. Lithium Australia has applied for eight exploration licences in five project locations over 589 km2.
