The initial 50,000-tonne production profile is slated fo

Sarytogan Graphite’s diamond core drilling at its Ilksan copper prospect in Kazakhstan has hit significant copper and associated quartz, including the pictured massive pyrite (iron sulphide) and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) from 425.5m downhole. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has significantly extended the known copper mineralisation at its Ilksan prospect in central Kazakhstan, with the third diamond drill hole of its current program returning a massive 452-metre copper i

Visible malachite and azurite in the core from 20 metres downhole from the second hole drilled at Sarytogan Graphite’s Ilskan prospect in Kazakhstan. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has significantly extended copper mineralisation at its Ilksan prospect in central Kazakhstan, delivering a massive 318-metre-long intersection from surface to the end of the hole. The result comes from the second of a three-hole diamond drill program and follows a similarly impressive 229-metre

Sarytogan has produced high-quality coated spherical purified graphite (pictured) from its giant deposit in Kazakhstan, exceeding key lithium-ion battery specifications. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has reached a major milestone in its downstream processing ambitions, producing high-quality, battery-grade coated spherical purified graphite (CSPG) that smashed key industry specifications for use in lithium-ion batteries. Testwork on a 24-tonne bulk sample from its massi

Sarytogan Graphite has confirmed a copper porphyry system at its Ilksan prospect in Kazakhstan, with near-surface drill core (pictured) showing the distinctive copper minerals malachite and azurite at 32.6m depth. Results from one of Sarytogan Graphite's (ASX: SGA) first three holes completed in its maiden diamond drilling program at its Ilksan prospect in central Kazakhstan has smashed out a massive 229-metre-long copper intercept from surface to end-of-hole. The impr

Sarytogan Graphite has begun drilling its first diamond drill hole at the company’s Ilkin copper prospect in central Kazakhstan. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has fired up a maiden diamond drilling campaign at the Ilkin prospect, part of its Baynazar copper exploration project in central Kazakhstan, targeting what all the geological markers hint could be a significant copper porphyry system. The company has planned a four-hole, 1000-metre program designed to probe the m

Split graphite diamond drill core from Sarytogan Graphite’s project in Kazakhstan. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has locked in a key water licence, removing a critical hurdle to the ongoing definitive feasibility study (DFS) in Kazakhstan. The fresh permit has further strengthened the company’s already growing list of project approvals for its world-class graphite development. The move follows the 2024 pre-feasibility study that stamped Sarytogan as a low-cost, high-margin gr

Sarytogan Graphite’s proposed onsite beneficiation plant layout for its world-class graphite project in Kazakhstan. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has landed a key milestone for its flagship graphite deposit in Central Kazakhstan, with a significant JORC-compliant upgrade to its mineral resource estimate, which includes a maiden measured reserve of 5.4 million tonnes at 28.3 per cent total graphitic carbon (TGC). For the first time, Sarytogan’s central graphite zone – the bac

Malachite-rich, highly altered drill chips from Sarytogan Graphite’s recent drilling in Kazakhstan have highlighted a 600-metre-wide copper geochemical anomaly. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has caught a strong whiff of copper at its Baynazar project in Kazakhstan using some clever geology and a shallow drilling program that appears to have scratched far more than just the surface. The company’s latest results from shallow drilling at the Ilkin prospect have outlined a stron

Sarytogan Graphite’s metallurgical testwork has achieved flotation concentrates of better than 90% total graphitic carbon. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has shot the lights out with its final batch of assay results from 17 infill diamond drill holes at its namesake graphite deposit located about 190 kilometres from Karaganda in Central Kazakhstan, completing the company’s 2025 reserves definition drilling program. All 17 holes intersected significant graphite mineralisation

Sarytogan Graphite’s massive graphite project is situated in central east Kazakhstan and was first explored in the 1980s before the company’s 100% owned subsidiary Ushtogan LLP resumed exploration in 2018. Sarytogan Graphite (ASX: SGA) has awarded the engineering contracts for the definitive feasibility study (DFS) at its massive namesake graphite project in Kazakhstan to global heavyweights Wood and WSP, locking in a clear runway to mid-2026 completion and construction in 2
