Cov neeg muab khoom graphite hauv Africa tab tom nce kev tsim khoom kom tau raws li Tuam Tshoj qhov kev thov rau cov khoom siv roj teeb. Raws li cov ntaub ntawv los ntawm Roskill, nyob rau thawj ib nrab ntawm xyoo 2019, kev xa khoom graphite ntuj los ntawm Africa mus rau Tuam Tshoj tau nce ntau dua 170%. Mozambique yog lub tebchaws xa khoom graphite loj tshaj plaws hauv Africa. Nws feem ntau muab cov flakes graphite me me thiab nruab nrab rau kev siv roj teeb. Lub tebchaws sab qab teb Africa no tau xa tawm 100,000 tons ntawm graphite hauv rau lub hlis thawj zaug ntawm xyoo 2019, uas 82% tau xa tawm mus rau Tuam Tshoj. Los ntawm lwm qhov kev xav, lub tebchaws tau xa tawm 51,800 tons hauv xyoo 2018 thiab xa tawm tsuas yog 800 tons hauv xyoo dhau los. Kev loj hlob sai ntawm Mozambique cov khoom xa tawm graphite feem ntau yog vim Syrah Resources thiab nws qhov project Balama, uas tau pib thaum kawg ntawm xyoo 2017. Xyoo tas los cov graphite tsim tawm yog 104,000 tons, thiab kev tsim khoom hauv thawj ib nrab ntawm xyoo 2019 tau txog 92,000 tons.
Roskill kwv yees tias txij xyoo 2018-2028, kev lag luam roj teeb qhov kev thov rau graphite ntuj yuav loj hlob ntawm tus nqi ntawm 19% ib xyoos. Qhov no yuav ua rau tag nrho cov kev thov graphite yuav luag 1.7 lab tons, yog li txawm tias Balama project ncav cuag lub peev xwm tag nrho ntawm 350,000 tons ib xyoos, kev lag luam roj teeb tseem yuav xav tau cov khoom siv graphite ntxiv rau lub sijhawm ntev. Rau cov ntawv loj dua, lawv cov lag luam kawg (xws li cov nplaim taws retardants, gaskets, thiab lwm yam) yog me dua li kev lag luam roj teeb, tab sis qhov kev thov los ntawm Tuam Tshoj tseem tab tom loj hlob. Madagascar yog ib qho ntawm cov neeg tsim khoom loj ntawm cov flakes graphite loj. Nyob rau hauv xyoo tas los no, cov kob cov khoom xa tawm graphite tau loj hlob sai, los ntawm 9,400 tons hauv 2017 txog 46,900 tons hauv 2018 thiab 32,500 tons hauv thawj ib nrab ntawm 2019. Cov neeg tsim khoom graphite nto moo hauv Madagascar suav nrog Tirupati Graphite Group, Tablissements Gallois thiab Bass Metals ntawm Australia. Tanzania tab tom dhau los ua lub tebchaws tsim cov graphite loj, thiab tsoomfwv nyuam qhuav rov muab daim ntawv tso cai khawb av, thiab ntau qhov project graphite yuav raug pom zoo rau xyoo no.
Ib qho ntawm cov haujlwm graphite tshiab yog qhov project Mahenge ntawm Heiyan Mining, uas tau ua tiav kev tshawb fawb tshiab txog kev ua tau zoo (DFS) thaum Lub Xya Hli los kwv yees nws cov txiaj ntsig txhua xyoo ntawm graphite concentrate. 250,000 tons nce mus rau 340,000 tons. Lwm lub tuam txhab mining, Walkabout Resources, kuj tau tshaj tawm daim ntawv qhia txog kev ua tau zoo zaum kawg xyoo no thiab tab tom npaj rau kev tsim kho lub chaw Lindi Jumbo. Ntau lwm cov haujlwm graphite hauv Tanzanian twb nyob rau theem ntawm kev nyiam kev nqis peev, thiab cov haujlwm tshiab no xav tias yuav txhawb nqa kev lag luam graphite hauv Africa nrog Suav teb.
