Valence Industries is the former name of Quantum Graphite Limited (ASX:QGL), the owner of the century old Uley Mine and associated facilities near Port Lincoln in regional South Australia. The project is one of the largest coarse flake graphite deposits in the world. It is located on South Australia's Eastern Eyre Peninsula, acknowledged as a significant area of graphite mineralisation.[1] The company was listed on the ASX in January 2014 and changed its name and listing code on 14 July 2017.
The Uley Mine was reopened in 2014 for approximately 12 months by the Valence Industries management to produce various graphite products for delivery to key customers in Europe and North Asia.
Quantum Graphite has prepared a definitive feasibility study for the next stage of mine development, the Uley 2 Project. An update to the feasibility study was released in December 2023. The project has all approvals required to commence production.
