Global Li-Ion Graphite Corp. is advancing its Ambato-Arana Graphite Project in Madagascar, which contains premium large-flake graphite. In January 2026, Madagascar lifted a 16-year moratorium on mining permits, allowing new developments in strategic minerals, including graphite.

Ambato-Arana holds long-term mining licenses and has a history of producing approximately 18,000 tonnes of graphite oxide between 1998 and 2008. The project aims to restart production with an initial target of 5,000 tonnes per year, expanding to 15,000 tonnes. This positioning comes as graphite is increasingly recognized as a critical mineral essential for electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.
