Springdale Continues to Build with Further Spectacular Diamond Drilling Assays

International Graphite Limited (ASX: IG6) has received further spectacular graphite assays from six diamond holes at the Springdale Central deposit – part of the Company’s 100% owned Springdale Graphite Project near Hopetoun-Ravensthorpe on the south coast of Western Australia (Figure 1).


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Another set of spectacular assay results from diamond drilling at the Springdale Central deposit.
  • Stand out graphite intercepts1 include:
    • 11.1m @ 16.9% Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) from 23.1m downhole (SGDD0021)
    • 13.4m @ 19.2% TGC from 35.3m downhole, including 2.9m @ 31.4% TGC from 38.8m downhole (SGDD0021)
    • 10.3m @ 36.3% TGC from 41.8m downhole (SGDD0022)
    • 3.8m @ 21.3% TGC from 17.2m downhole, including 3.1m @ 25.5% TGC from 17.9m downhole (SGDD0017)
    • 9.7m @ 6.2% TGC from 75.8m downhole (SGDD0017)
    • 28.7m @ 12.1% TGC from 93.0m downhole, including 4.1m @ 23.3% TGC from 112.0m downhole (SGDD0019)

It follows outstanding results received last month2 from the Springdale Mason Bay deposit.

A ten-hole PQ diamond drilling program was completed between May and July this year at the Mason Bay and Springdale Central deposits. The program focussed on geotechnical drilling, to inform mine planning and permitting, and to provide metallurgical data for concentrator plant process design.

Of the six holes drilled at Springdale Central, SGDD 22 - a twin of SGRC 18 - and SGDD 21 are located approximately in the centre of the Springdale Central and SGDD 17 and 19 were drilled at the northern end of Springdale Central. The results continue to confirm the continuity of mineralisation along strike, the grade and overall veracity of the mineral resource. SGDD 18 and 20 were drilled for geotechnical purposes in the proposed pit walls of Springdale Central.

Managing Director and CEO Andrew Worland said, “We have said it before, but it bears repeating, it is clear to us that a spectacular graphite deposit is continuing to reveal itself at Springdale. The more we drill at Springdale the more high grade, thick, near surface intercepts of graphite mineralisation we find. So many of the key determinants for a low-cost mine are present: shallow overall deposit depth, limited drill and blast, good grades, oxidised material for processing, single product lines – and all in a tier one mining jurisdiction. On top of all the positive attributes, the exploration potential for future mineral resource growth is clear to see.”

ASX Graphite Stocks: 5 Biggest Companies in 2025

Graphite isn’t just used for pencils — it's also a key lithium-ion battery component due to its high conductivity and quick-charging capacity.

This means the graphite sector could experience tailwinds from rising demand for electric vehicles and energy storage systems in the coming years.

Australian investors searching for ways to get exposure to the graphite industry can look to the ASX, which is home to a slew of companies focused on the graphite market.

US Slaps 93.5 Percent Tariff on Chinese Graphite

The US government has imposed a 93.5 percent anti-dumping tariff on battery-grade graphite imports from China, targeting what officials have described as unfairly low-priced shipments.

They claim domestic producers have been undercut, and have cited concerns over critical minerals dependence.

The US Department of Commerce announced the duty on Thursday (July 17) after an investigation prompted by from US manufacturers, who argued that Chinese producers were flooding the market with underpriced graphite.

Queensland Recognizes Graphinex’s Esmeralda Graphite Project

The Queensland Government is fast-tracking private company Graphinex’s Esmeralda graphite project with a Coordinated Project declaration.

In a July 11 statement, the government said that the declaration forms part of the Crisafulli Government’s move to partner with private companies and boost job-creating projects in Queensland.

“De-risking the delivery of projects like this through whole-of-government approval coordination is supporting more Queensland investment and creating more well-paying Queensland resource jobs,” commented Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning Jarrod Blejie.
