Listed company Mineral Commodities has signed a memorandum of understanding to assess the use of Doral's fused alumina plant in Kwinana for downstream processing of natural flake graphite from its proposed mine in WA's great southern region.

Under the agreement, Mineral Commodities will have exclusive access to the Kwinana site to undertake a study to determine the feasibility of using it for thermal purification, spheroidisation and coating of natural flake graphite to produce premium graphite anode material.

Graphite is used as the anode in the production of lithium-ion batteries, of which the source has primarily been through synthetic graphite.
