  • All five mining rights in Xinghe County, the province's graphite mining hotspot, were awarded to the company that was founded by the government in 2010 to combine the province's nine flake miners.

    It is thought that Heilongjiang, China's richest graphite-producing province, will be the next target for consolidation, since reserves in Shandong, the country's oldest major flake region, are dwindling.

    "As a government-invested company, we have few restrictions on the investment side," [Hu] said. "Our aim is to share in future developments in the graphite industry, and we are both ready to invest and open up to partnership with other companies in China, and beyond," he said.
