Sovereign Metals Taps Project Vault Partner Traxys for Kasiya Graphite Marketing

Sovereign Metals Limited ( (AU:SVM) ) has shared an announcement.

Sovereign Metals has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with Traxys North America to market graphite from its Kasiya project in Malawi, targeting 40,000 tonnes per year of graphite concentrate in the first five years and up to 80,000 tonnes annually thereafter. The initial marketing focus will be on high-value flake graphite for the refractory sector, with scope to expand into battery anode supply chains as the project develops.

Traxys, recently appointed as one of three trading houses to procure critical minerals for the U.S. government’s US$12 billion Project Vault strategic reserve, is expected to provide Sovereign with access to both strategic government procurement and established industrial customers. The agreement underscores growing confidence in Kasiya as a potential Tier 1 source of critical minerals and could strengthen Sovereign’s role in diversifying graphite supply away from China, although any binding marketing agreement remains subject to further negotiation and approvals.
