International Graphite: Funding, Partnerships & Downstream Development
- 31 October 2025
In our latest episode, I spoke with Andrew Worland, Managing Director and CEO of International Graphite, live from the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) 2025 in Sydney. Andrew shares insights into International Graphite’s progress across its integrated operations - from the Springdale Graphite Project in Western Australia to the Collie micronising facility and expandable graphite venture in Germany. He also discusses the company’s funding initiatives, government partnerships, and how it is positioning to become a key supplier to ex-China markets. We cover:
- How International Graphite is advancing downstream integration through its Collie and Germany projects
- The critical role of government partnerships and strategic capital in funding graphite projects
- How China’s export restrictions are reshaping demand and creating opportunities for Australian suppliers
- The company’s approach to qualification and why it remains one of the toughest hurdles in the graphite industry
- What to expect next at Springdale and the milestones ahead for International Graphite
