Grafex Limitada (Grafex) holds the registered Mozambique exploration licences. Triton entered into a joint venture agreement with this Mozambican registered entity, in October 2012, post which it became an 80% owner of the company by the end of 2014. However, in March 2018 Triton announced to have a 100% economic interest in shares of Grafex and the Mozambican projects.
Triton is mainly focused on its production from its Ancuabe Graphite Project. The company did independent test work to identify that Ancuabeâs large flake and high concentrate graphite is a key driver for the companyâs positive outlook going forward. It aims to be a market leader in the expanding environment of the graphite market. The company is undergoing initial activities, and their construction is likely to start in the first half of 2019 with first graphite production in the first half of 2020.
The graphite market is about to grow significantly going forward. The Chinese producers are experiencing huge supply pressures, since their reserves are diminishing and more importantly, they have a lower grade and poor flake size. They are also experiencing environmental and legislative pressures from the Government. The key drivers for the global expandable graphite market growth have been Technology and environmental concerns. The expandable graphite is primarily used in flame retardant building materials and for the lithium-ion battery market. Triton is better placed with China experiencing supply concerns, and Tritonâs quality is perfect for both these markets.
Meanwhile, the share price of the company has fallen 42.47% in the past six months as on 6 December 2018. The company has a last traded price of $0.042 with a market capitalization of circa $38.94 Million.
