Kibaran ups graphite output hopes in Tanzania

Graphite developer Kibaran Resources has increased its production estimates for its flagship Tanzanian projects by some 50%. The miner reported on Monday that an updated growth strategy had determined that the Epanko and Merelani-Arusha graphite projects could deliver a combined 150 000 t/y of concentrate by the sixth year of mining and processing operations, up from the initial estimate of 100 000 t/y outlined in January this year.
