Description:

The Graphite Creek Project is a proposed graphite open pit mine to extract graphite ore and produce a graphite concentrate for further processing and manufacturing of Coated Spherical Graphite, primarily for the electric vehicle lithium-ion battery and energy storage markets, as well as other high grade graphite products.  Graphite ore mined from the Graphite Creek Property, situated on the Seward Peninsula about 37 miles north of Nome, Alaska, would be processed into concentrate at a mineral processing plant to be located adjacent to the mine.
