The company has successfully identified a rutile province of global significance within its extensive Malawian land holdings.In the heart of Malawi lies Kasiya, known for being the world's largest natural rutile deposit and one of the most substantial flake graphite deposits. Sovereign Metals is on a mission to establish a sustainable operation that can supply the high-demand natural rutile and graphite to international markets.In June 2022, an Expanded Scoping Study (ESS) validated Kasiya's potential to become one of the world’s largest and most cost-effective producers of natural rutile and natural graphite. The study also highlighted that the global warming potential is significantly lower than other existing and planned operations.Sovereign Metals is currently progressing with an advanced Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) for Kasiya, which will augment the initial findings of the ESS. The results of the PFS are expected to be announced in the coming months.
