The latest announcement is out from International Graphite Limited ( (AU:IG6) ).

International Graphite Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Italian chemical producer ALKEEMIA S.p.A. to develop a graphite processing joint venture in Porto Marghera, one of Europe’s major industrial hubs. The venture will initially target around 10,000 tonnes per year of advanced graphite products from late 2027, using feedstock sourced from multiple existing mines and trading houses.

Under the proposed structure, ALKEEMIA will hold 51% and IG6 49%, with profits shared equally, and ALKEEMIA managing construction and operations at its fully permitted chemical complex. By leveraging ALKEEMIA’s existing infrastructure, reagent supply, proprietary purification technology and skilled workforce, the partners aim to cut capital intensity, reduce execution risk and accelerate time to market.

The Italian facility is positioned to support the European Union’s drive under the Critical Raw Materials Act to boost domestic processing of strategic materials, including graphite. If successful, the project would strengthen Europe’s supply security, lessen dependence on Chinese graphite processing, and enhance IG6’s role as a competitive supplier to European industrial, electromobility and energy-storage customers.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:IG6) stock is a Sell with a A$0.04 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on International Graphite Limited stock, see the AU:IG6 Stock Forecast page.
