About Graphite
Production
There are several steps in the production process before graphite can be bundled and sold to customers.
Extraction – Ore (graphite-rich rock) is extracted via surface excavation and trucked to the nearby mill for processing. This stage of the process also produces waste rock, which is deposited in a designated area within the boundaries of the Kearney Mine property.
Processing – Ore is crushed to the consistency of sand and undergoes a series of flotation processes during which graphite flakes are skimmed off. These flakes are then dried and bagged for sale.
Tailings Storage – The crushed rocks that remain after the graphite is removed, called tailings, are chemically inert and transferred to the on-site tailings area for long-term storage in accordance with Ontario Ministry of Energy requirements and world-class environmental practices.
