American Resources Principal Daniel McGroarty will speak alongside fellow American Resources expert and Manager for Industrial Minerals Data, Simon Moores, at Industrial Minerals’ 2nd Graphite Conference 2012 in early December.

In light of its traditional uses, its importance for the new Li-ion technology, and the ostensibly endless potential applications for the “new super material graphene,” the international graphite market has seen a boom in recent years. However, with China not only dominating global graphite supply but also holding all of the spherical graphite processing technology, supply issues loom large.

The event, which will take place on Dec. 5 and 6 in London, reflects the growing relevance of graphite, and will address questions “surrounding whether or not graphite can fulfill its predicted potential as one of the most lucrative and highly used minerals of the next decade.”
