This document summarizes global graphite resources, production, trade flows, and end uses. It lists major graphite mines around the world, showing their location, ownership, and resource size. The largest reported resource is the Syrah Resources project in Mozambique with over 1 billion tonnes. Global natural flake graphite production in 2012 is estimated at 750,000 tonnes, with China accounting for 73% of production. The main end uses for natural graphite are refractories, foundries, crucibles, lubricants, batteries, and polymers.
