With its consultation with the government, the company secured a “far more advanced and valuable” concession, which will add to its portfolio of graphite projects in the country.

It is also moving ahead with the development of its flagship Ancuabe graphite project in Mozambique.

Triton Minerals executive director Andrew Frazer said: “The grant of the Cobra Plains mining concession, with its large-scale 5.7 million tonnes (mt) contained graphite resource, means that Trion now owns two globally significant graphite resources with a diversified mix of flake sizes, which can be applied towards a range of applications from batteries to expandable graphite for building materials.
