This thread is for discussing the european wide political landscape for Talga, Graphite as a mineral, as a battery anode and other battery related legislations. The thread is kicked off with a bombshell.
Today, the EU published the European Critical Raw Materials Act, the (for Talga) most important European legislation in recent history. You can find the documents here:
In the second document, titled COM(2023) 160 ANNEX 1 to 6 - Annexes to the Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing a framework for ensuring a secure and sustainable supply of critical raw materials, graphite for batteries is listed as a strategic mineral, on page 1:
The following raw materials shall be considered strategic:
(a) Bismuth
(b) Boron - metallurgy grade
(c) Cobalt
(d) Copper
(e) Gallium
(f) Germanium
(g) Lithium - battery grade
(h) Magnesium metal
(i) Manganese - battery grade
(j) Natural Graphite - battery grade
(k) Nickel - battery grade
(l) Platinum Group Metals
(m) Rare Earth Elements for magnets (Nd, Pr, Tb, Dy, Gd, Sm, and Ce)
( n ) Silicon metal
(o) Titanium metal
(p) Tungsten
Further, it is also listed as critical:
The following raw materials shall be considered critical:
(a) Antimony
(b) Arsenic
(c) Bauxite
(d) Baryte
(e) Beryllium
(f) Bismuth
(g) Boron
(h) Cobalt
(i) Coking Coal
(j) Copper
(k) Feldspar
(l) Fluorspar
(m) Gallium
( n ) Germanium
(o) Hafnium
(p) Helium
(q) Heavy Rare Earth Elements
(r) Light Rare Earth Elements
(s) Lithium
(t) Magnesium
(u) Manganese
(v) Natural Graphite
(w) Nickel – battery grade
(x) Niobium
( y ) Phosphate rock
(z) Phosphorus
(aa) Platinum Group Metals
(bb) Scandium
(cc) Silicon metal
(dd) Strontium
(ee) Tantalum
(ff) Titanium metal
(gg) Tungsten
(hh) Vanadium
With these assessments of the European Union, Natural Graphite projects, such as these from Talga, become eligible for political support and funding. This is a big deal for Talga.
