How Will The Increased Production Affect Renascor’s Operating Costs?
Renascor Resources Optimizes Production at Siviour Mine for Upstream Graphite
Renascor Resources Limited has announced a strategic revision in its product mix for the Siviour mine and processing plant, part of its ambitious Battery Anode Material (BAM) Project in South Australia. This move, aimed at maximizing initial revenues, focuses on increasing the production of coarse flake graphite.
Enhanced Focus on Coarse Flake Graphite: Increased Production Targets
Renascor has adjusted the flowsheet parameters of the Siviour processing plant, resulting in a 60% increase in the production of size fractions greater than 150 microns (+100 mesh). The new target is to achieve 27% of total production in these size fractions, up from the previously projected 17%.
Tapping into High-Value Markets
The increased production of coarse flake graphite is designed to enable Renascor to penetrate high-value industrial markets effectively during the first phase of production from the Siviour mine and processing plant.

adjustment to the flowsheet parameters is based on successful locked-cycle tests, which resulted in the production of high-purity graphite products across all size fractions.
Financial Implications
Preliminary estimates indicate that these changes will not materially alter projected capital costs while potentially reducing operating costs.
Accelerated Development Plans: Acquisition and Planning
Renascor has recently acquired the freehold land hosting the Siviour Graphite Deposit and has commenced on-site planning activities, conforming to its Mineral Lease obligations.
Engineering and Design Efforts
Detailed engineering and design activities are being advanced to optimize and minimize the construction period. This includes adjusting the scope of front-end engineering works to incorporate the revised product mix.
Market Dynamics and Strategy: Graphite Market Growth
The graphite market is experiencing significant growth, particularly due to its demand in lithium-ion battery anodes. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence predicts a 300% increase in battery-related demand by 2028.
Price Volatility and Future Prospects
Despite recent price volatility in graphite, Renascor remains optimistic about the market's future. The company expects a near-term shortfall in graphite supply and an increase in prices, emphasizing the importance of new ex-China supply sources.
Regulatory and Policy Impacts: Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Influence
The US Inflation Reduction Act mandates that from 2025, all graphite and other critical minerals used in the manufacture of electric vehicles must be sourced outside of China. This legislation potentially accelerates the development of secure ex-China graphite supply.
Export Restrictions from China
Recent restrictions on the export of graphite products from China could limit the sourcing capabilities of non-Chinese companies, including anode manufacturers, underscoring the importance of alternative supply sources like Renascor's Siviour Project.
Renascor Resources is strategically positioning itself to be a major player in the graphite market, capitalizing on the increasing demand for battery anode materials. With its focus on producing high-value coarse flake graphite and optimizing production processes, Renascor aims to establish a strong foothold in the industry while navigating the evolving market dynamics and regulatory landscapes.
The company's accelerated development plans for the Siviour mine and processing plant signify its commitment to becoming a significant, sustainable source of graphite, outside of China, in the near future.

Intel’s been lagging behind for years, while AMD has pulled far ahead in both consumer and professional-grade chips, it’s really not a close race anymore.
There’s this idea floating around that throwing enough cash at Intel will suddenly turn them into the next TSMC. But semiconductor manufacturing isn’t something you can

rush, it’s a complex, slow-moving process that takes years of precision and experience.
Intel could recover some ground eventually, but framing them as the savior of American chipmaking feels more like a political talking point than a practical reality.
