International Graphite Ltd (ASX: IG6) managing director and CEO Andrew Worland join’s Proactive’s Tylah Tully after recently hosting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at its processing and research and development facility in Collie, Western Australia.
The visit highlighted the company’s significant contributions to Australia’s critical minerals industry. The Collie facility is the first of its kind in Australia and forms a key part of International Graphite’s mine-to-market strategy, which includes the development of the Springfield Graphite Project – one of Australia’s largest graphite resources – and downstream processing at Collie.
Prime Minister Albanese was accompanied by Federal Minister for Climate Change and Energy Chris Bowen, Assistant Minister Josh Wilson and several Western Australian Government representatives. The visit underscores the government’s support and interest in the growth of Australia’s critical minerals sector.
The Collie facility operates as a pilot-scale micronising and spheroidising plant, producing graphite products for customer testing in various industries, including battery materials, defence, plastics, lubricants and aerospace. International Graphite plans to expand operations at the facility to a capacity of 4,000 tonnes of micronised product per year, supported by a $4.5 million grant from the WA Government awarded in April.
