The mine is located on one of the worlds largest flake graphite deposits
A Canadian graphite mine is gearing up for a comeback in the Almaguin Highlands.
Global Battery Materials, a partnership between G6 Energy and South Korea’s SongWoo EM, plans to restart operations at the Kearney mine.
The mine, dormant since 1994, is among the world’s largest flake graphite deposits. The company aims to combine Kearney’s resources with advanced South Korean technology to produce anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, with production targeted for 2028.
Officials say the move is part of a broader effort to create a domestic critical minerals supply chain, reducing reliance on China, which currently controls 98 per cent of global graphite processing.
The company says the project will help secure a stable, home-grown source of graphite for Canada’s growing clean energy and battery sector.
