ABOUT EAGLE GRAPHITE
The project includes two mining leases, with a combined area of 300 hectares, renewable until at least 2062. The leases contain the quarry area and the plant facilities, and are accessible by Forest Service Road. The facility is near production-ready and has historically produced at an equivalent output of 4,000 tonnes of graphite per year. The electrical supply for the plant is a 13.5 kilovolt (kV) power line, and is upgradeable to 63 kV from the main 63 kV hydro line passing within 400 metres of the plant.
Eagle Graphite Incorporated is listed on the TSXV under the symbol “EGA”.

- INCLUDING GRAPHENE
Global graphite consumption for electric vehicles (EVs) has been growing exponentially for several years, as all mass-market lithium-ion EV batteries use graphite electrodes. EVs and refractories will consume roughly similar quantities of graphite in 2022 – around 250,000 tonnes, with EVs expected to exponentially add demand for the next several years.
World production of flake graphite for 2022 is estimated at 750,000 tonnes. For EVs to attain a 30% market share (currently ~4%), global output capacity needs to expand to roughly 3x today’s levels.
CORE VALUES
ENVIRONMENT
Compared to most graphite mining, the Black Crystal graphite quarry has an exceptionally light environmental footprint.
Our graphite is easily liberated from the sandy host material through a low-energy, water-based flotation process that generates only environmentally benign, marketable by-products. Water is recycled to minimize net consumption. We aim to further reduce handling requirements with dry pre-concentration near the excavation site.
The sand and gravel by-products are sold to local buyers, leaving essentially nothing to waste.
Unlike hard rock, typical of other North American projects, our sandy alkaline host rock is not a potential source of acid rock drainage.
The finished graphite is non-toxic and non-reactive.
COMMUNITY
We take pride in our positive relationship with the local communities and those who share the many benefits of the area.
We are fortunate to have a highly skilled workforce and industrial supplies readily available locally.
Nearby population centres include the cities of Nelson, Castlegar, and Trail, and other communities such as Slocan Park, Winlaw, and South Slocan.
SAFETY
The health and well being of our stakeholders is paramount.
Our operations fall under the Health Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia and WorksafeBC. We work only with low toxicity chemicals that pose no known significant risks to our work force and the surrounding environment.
