Video: Gold mining faces a cliff after 2025, CRU analyst predicts
Global gold production will peak at about 3,250 tonnes (105 million oz.) next year, according to CRU's Oliver Blagden.
Elcora Advanced Materials (TSXV: ERA) announced that it is building a pilot plant to process the mineralized material from the South Nachu graphite project in Tanzania.
The plant is being built at Elcora’s facility in Bedford, Nova Scotia.
In a press release, the Canadian company said it is currently awaiting the delivery of five tonnes of mineralized material from the African mine. Once received, the pilot plant will be used to process the ore and to extract graphite.
The extracted graphite will then be purified to various grades with the idea of targeting the expandable graphite market.
Spec sheets detailing particle size distribution, purity and expansion percentage will be produced and once those are completed, Elcora says it will build a pilot plant on the Tanzanian site.
In early July, the Nova Scotian firm entered into a 10-year joint venture profit-sharing agreement with Eminent Minerals’ interest in South Nachu, which is located in the Ruangwa district of the southeastern Lindi region.
The project is nearby two large, high-grade graphite properties, namely Syrah Resources’ Balama project

Build in NS all you can. Build nothing in Tanzania because you can not trust them. Maybe prove you plant and sell the technology to some outfit that can afford to lose it.
Such a shame to have so much potential in a nation and waste it because of politics!
