Canadian battery-metals project developer South Star is set to commence production at its graphite mine in Brazil in September. The company announced today that it has "substantially completed" the first phase of construction at its Santa Cruz graphite mine, located in the northeastern state of Bahia.
The initial phase of the project features a plant with a nameplate capacity of approximately 12,000 metric tonnes per year. The plant is currently in its commissioning phase, and South Star aims to fulfill its first graphite purchase orders in the fourth quarter of this year.
Looking ahead, Santa Cruz's phase 2 expansion is expected to increase production to 25,000 tonnes per year starting in 2026. Phase 3 will further ramp up production to 50,000 tonnes per year by 2028.
Brazil is recognized as the world’s second-largest graphite producer, with over 80 years of continuous mining activity, according to South Star.
