Graphite is a critical mineral because it is the dominant anode material in lithium‑ion batteries, with additional uses in refractories, lubricants and other industrial applications. Despite Australia’s strong resource position, there are currently no operating graphite mines, however, 2 projects are progressing towards production having published positive definitive feasibility studies (DFS). Global graphite demand is being reshaped by electrification. Clean technologies—including EVs and renewable energy—are the primary drivers of demand. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[112.0, -44.0], [154.0, -44.0], [154.0, -9.0], [112.0, -9.0], [112.0, -44.0]]]} 112.0 154.0 -44.0 -9.0 Delivery Delivery, awareness raising and engagement Exploration Mineral Intelligence Mineral exploration National resource assessments Published_External Resource Insights Resource geoscience Resourcing Australia’s Prosperity awareness raising and engagement carbon critical mineral critical minerals graphite mineral deposits mineral resource mines mines and mineral resources pipeline projects supply chains Download the document (pdf) [1.9 MB] documentDigital Download the document (pdf) [1.9 MB] PDF
