NextSource Materials specializes in the exploration and development of graphite deposits, primarily through its operations at the Molo graphite mine located in Madagascar. Graphite is a critical component in various industrial applications, including as a key material in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries, which are indispensable in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. The company provides high-quality graphite concentrates under its SuperFlake brand, which is recognized for its purity and suitability for various end-uses.
The company also explores for vanadium through its Green Giant Vanadium Project located in Madagascar. Vanadium is used in steel production to increase strength and resistance to corrosion, as well as in emerging energy storage technologies such as vanadium redox flow batteries. These applications underscore vanadium's growing importance in global markets, particularly in the context of sustainable and renewable energy solutions.
In Mauritius, NextSource Materials operates facilities dedicated to the production of battery anode materials.
