Free Graphite Minerals Ecourse Now Open

There is a lot of uncertainty in the stock market but there are opportunities, too. One opportunity is a little-known mineral called graphite. And if you think graphite is just the stuff in your pencil, think again.

We rely on graphite every single day

Every day, most Americans (and millions of others around the globe) rely on the graphite mineral in many of the products we trust. Without graphite, our world would be a very different place. Graphite is in brake pads, for example. And, there's more graphite in a lithium-ion battery than there is lithium! (It's used elsewhere too. In fact, some countries are calling graphite an "essential metal", required in industrial and military applications.

Grapite mineral demand is increasing

As the number of cars and lithium-ion batteries also continues to grow, the need for graphite is expected to grow. And there are new uses for graphite being invented all the time (including something called "graphene") and this will further increase graphite demand.

Graphite mineral supply can't keep up

So how is the supply of graphite keeping up? In short, it's not. Graphite producting is faltering. Exploration companies are working furiously to find new deposits -- and there have been some discoveries -- but it can take years for a mineral like graphite to go from initial discovery to being mined, milled, and turned into a product that is ready for use in brake pads and lithium-ion batteries (and elsewhere). There is so much testing and permitting and infrastructure-building that needs to happen first.

How bad is the supply/demand imbalance?

The supply demand imbalance is huge and will continue to get worse before it gets better. In fact, some sources suggest that the world will need to at least double graphite production if it wants to keep up with demand. Junior resource experts are calling graphite "the next big thing" in the junior resource industry.
