Bahia Graphite

What Bahia Graphite does

Bahia Graphite Corporation is a graphite mining exploration company focused on properties in the north-central region of Bahia, Brazil. The company controls a 121,663-hectare land package across ten project blocks (Itaitu, Lajedo, Cachoeira Grande, Riachão do Jacuípe, Capela, Conceição, Filadélfia, Nova Fátima, Riachão, and Baixa Grande) and is the only graphite company outside China with ownership of all five graphite types — small flake, medium flake, large flake, jumbo flake, and vein graphite — within a single state. The flagship Itaitu asset holds a NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of 2,280,010 tonnes at 9.05% TGC (205,642.66 contained graphite tonnes) and an exploration target of 8,000,000 tonnes at 9.0% TGC; the Capela asset has produced surface geochemistry results of 21.89-26.23% TGC.

The company is pre-revenue and plans to monetize through direct sales of graphite feedstock to industrial buyers in battery, solar technology, and electronics manufacturing. Its technology base combines conventional graphite exploration and NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation with internal and partnered R&D on graphene and graphene oxide production, via collaborations with Homerun Resources, the University of California Davis Materials Lab, and Green Graphite (Canada). Bahia Graphite appears to be Canadian-incorporated, references Canadian securities legislation, and is pursuing a go-public transaction via reverse takeover (RTO) supported by partnership financing, with a referenced major EU partner. A 2026 work program covering 3,000 meters of drilling, MRE upgrade to indicated resources, PFS, and DFS represents the next major operational milestones.

The leadership team comprises Antonio Vitor (President/CEO; ex-Transpetro, PwC, Shell with 10 years mining experience), Brian Leeners (Executive Chairman; founder of Nexvu Capital Corp, having raised US$100M+ since 2002), Armando Farhate (COO; 36 years industry experience, 13 in mining across Brazil, Canada, Namibia, Botswana), and Dr. Mauro Terence (CTO; PhD in Nuclear Technology from USP, 25-year UPM professor specializing in nanomaterials). Customer-facing channels are minimal — a corporate presentation PDF and a gmail.com contact address — consistent with a pre-commercial exploration stage.

Core offering

Bahia Graphite is a pre-revenue graphite exploration and mining company operating a 121,663-hectare land package in north-central Bahia, Brazil, across ten project blocks including the flagship Itaitu deposit. The company owns the rights to all five types of graphite (small flake, medium flake, large flake, jumbo flake, and vein graphite) in a single state—the only graphite company outside of China with this portfolio. It plans to supply high-quality graphite feedstock to battery, solar technology, and electronics manufacturers, while conducting R&D on downstream nanomaterials such as graphene and graphene oxide.

Product overview

Bahia Graphite Corp is a graphite mining and exploration company operating exclusively in Bahia, Brazil. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of five distinct graphite types—small flake, medium flake, large flake, jumbo flake, and vein graphite—extracted from its land package of 121,663 hectares across ten project blocks. The company is the only graphite producer outside China with ownership of all five graphite types in a single state. Key assets include the flagship Itaitu deposit with NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates and the Capela asset demonstrating high-grade results. The company is also engaged in research and development focused on graphene and graphene oxide production from its graphite resources, partnering with academic institutions and industry partners to advance downstream processing capabilities.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• NextSource Materials: NextSource operates the Molo graphite mine in Madagascar, producing flake graphite concentrate for battery and industrial markets and pursuing downstream SuperFlake expansion. Closely matches Bahia's stage as a flake-focused producer targeting global battery supply chains.
• Talga Group: Talga is a Swedish-Australian company developing integrated graphite mining-to-anode production in northern Sweden with a clear focus on lithium-ion battery end-market. Comparable to Bahia's downstream graphene/advanced materials R&D focus and battery end-market orientation.
• Syrah Resources: Syrah Resources is the largest publicly traded ex-China natural graphite producer (Balama project in Mozambique) and a direct competitor in the high-purity graphite feedstock market for batteries and industrial users. Comparable scale asset, similar end-markets, and active competitor for ex-China anode supply.
• EcoGraf: EcoGraf is an Australian company developing the Epanko graphite mine in Tanzania and a battery anode processing facility in Western Australia, with comparable end-markets (lithium-ion battery and industrial users) and a similar staged development profile.
• Volt Resources: Volt Resources owns the Bunyu graphite project in Tanzania and is focused on flake graphite production and downstream processing including battery anode material. Comparable junior developer with similar flake graphite and battery end-market focus.
• Graphite One: Graphite One is developing the Graphite Creek deposit in Alaska and pursuing a US-based vertically integrated graphite supply chain targeting battery and defense markets. Comparable as an ex-China-focused junior with ambitions to serve battery manufacturers.
• Nouveau Monde Graphite: Nouveau Monde is developing the Matawinie graphite project in Quebec targeting battery-grade spherical graphite and downstream anode material. Most directly comparable to Bahia's stated ambition to serve lithium-ion battery customers with high-quality flake graphite from a North/South American jurisdiction.
• Triton Minerals: Triton is developing the Balama Central graphite project adjacent to Syrah Resources in Mozambique, with a similar flake graphite resource profile. Comparable as a junior-stage developer competing for ex-China market share in natural graphite feedstock.
• Northern Graphite: Northern Graphite operates the Bissett Creek graphite mine in Ontario and operates/owns processing facilities targeting battery-grade graphite. Comparable as a North American-domiciled natural flake graphite producer addressing the same ex-China battery supply chain.

Emerging players

• Magnis Energy Technologies: Magnis is an emerging player pursuing lithium-ion battery anode materials using graphite feedstock via partnerships with downstream players rather than owning primary mines. Comparable end-market positioning (battery-grade graphite) though it sits in the downstream/anode manufacturing niche rather than mining.
