Snapshot	Siviour is the second largest Proven Reserve of graphite globally and the world’s largest reported graphite Reserve outside of Africa. Renascor is developing a vertically integrated operation within South Australia consisting of a mine, concentrator and downstream manufacturing facility to produce Purified Spherical Graphite (PSG) via eco-friendly chemical purification for sale to anode makers and use in Li-ion batteries for Electric Vehicles. Renascor is currently updating previous studies to consider substantial increase in Stage 1 PSG production capacity beyond the currently planned 28,000tpa of PSG, as well as additional staged PSG expansions.

• Sedimentary

Summary:

The graphite mineralisation at Siviour is hosted within Meso-Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Hutchison Group. The mineralisation is within a nominally 30 m-thick band of pelitic schist that occurs within a thick calc-silicate sequence.

Mineralisation hosted within a sequence of micro-gneiss, metasedimentary rocks and schists. The mineralisation is generally tabular, oriented east-west and forms an undulating surface that dips shallowly to the southwest, in the southern area, and more steeply to the north in the northern area. In the west the strike of the mineralisation has been interpreted, from geophysical data, to swing sharply towards the north and in the east is partially dislocated by a fault zone although, again from geophysical data, is anticipated to extend further to the east to Siviour East and Paxtons.

The main zone of mineralisation extends over 2.9 km east-west and 1.6 km north-south. The horizontal width ranges from 550 m within the central area, at the Siviour Prospect, to 125 m south of Buckies.

The Mineral Resource has an average thickness of 21 m (range of 0.45 m to 52 m) and the depth to the top of the mineralised horizons ranges from 1 m to 108 m with an average depth of 40 m.

The geometry of the Siviour Graphite Deposit is generally flat-lying, with thick, flat, gently folded graphite mineralisation sitting from within 5 m to 15 m of surface.
