Phil Carroll and Kevin Hornsby talk to Sapan about the groundbreaking development where mining giant Rio Tinto has announced a strategic investment of $40.4 million, acquiring a 15% shareholding in Sovereign. This investment will drive the advancement of the Kasiya Rutile-Graphite Project in Malawi, paving the way for a new supply of low-CO2-footprint natural rutile and flake graphite. With Rio Tinto's expertise and assistance, Sovereign aims to focus on the production of spherical purified graphite for the booming lithium-ion battery anode market. This partnership marks a significant step towards supply chain decarbonisation and achieving net-zero, while also bringing substantial benefits to Malawi.
