Graphite’s diverse uses and applications in cutting-edge technology have made it an increasingly-prized material. Industrial Minerals Manager and American Resources Expert Simon Moores recently prepared this presentation illustrating the state of Graphite in 2012.

Check it out here.

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.”

You wouldn’t necessarily expect to find Tungsten and Fluorspar mentioned in the same sentence as “Rare Earth Metals.” With its traditional applications in ballistics, the former is historically known as a “war metal,” while the latter has been an important component for chemical applications. And in spite of the fact that Tungsten makes the top [...]

Graphite’s uses have long been diverse, but, according to the experts at Industrial Minerals Data, the “emergence of the Li-ion battery era” – with Li-ion technology being key to our everyday portable electronic gadgets – has the “potential to turn the industry on its head.” Coupled with the ostensibly endless potential applications for the “new [...]

In an article this week, Resource Investing News is asking: “Will the U.S. Produce Graphite?” As the piece points out, with China producing roughly 80 percent of global graphite output, and the U.S. not producing the metal in spite of the fact it is considered a critical mineral, “it is imperative that the US find [...]

We’re excited to announce the latest addition to the American Resources panel of issue experts. Simon Moores is manager of the data department at London-based publishing and research house, Industrial Minerals (indmin.com), the world’s leading source for non-metallic minerals pricing and business information. His areas of expertise include global supply and demand issues for strategic [...]
