The Uley graphite project is a proposed graphite mine at Uley on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It is also known as the Ouray mine. ==Project Overview and History== Graphite was discovered in the area of the Uley project in the early 1800s and it was mined intermittently from the 1920s until 1993, when it was placed on care and maintenance. When in production, the open cut mine was capable of producing up to 14,000 tonnes of graphite concentrate annually. The project was re-activated in 2014 by its current owner, Valence Industries Ltd. (Valence ) is an ASX listed company (ASX code VXL) focused on graphite development and production. The Uley project is its core asset and main focus. Valence reported first sales of graphite from the Uley mine, under its ownership, in 2014 and has all approvals in place to commence production at the mine, plus a high grade Ore Reserve. It has also completed a Feasibility Study for the significant expansion of its Uley graphite operations. The Uley Graphite Project is acknowledged as one of the largest coarse flake graphite deposits in the world. The deposit contains near-surface, disseminated, high-grade flake graphite. The project is held on free hold land, and comprises two Mining Licences and two associated Retention Licences, plus a large Exploration Licence south of the existing Uley graphite facilities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uley graphite project」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
